18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,120

19
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: a cartoon character. I bet d Katos too.

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,040

Speaker 3: Mass the team as is, plus a quarterback. Right Wilson

00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: or assuming at quarter. Rogers is the guy? Okay? Uh so?

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: Jaylen Walker is there, Derek Harmon is there, Nick Amywari's there,

27
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: Gi Hud Campbell, Shavon Revel, Josh Simmons, Colston Loveland and Meccabica,

28
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: Luther Burden, Tyler Williams, Walter Nolan, Donovan, Azeriku Gray's Abel,

29
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: Kenneth Grant, wow Low one, Kenneth Grant, Marion Hampton. We

30
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: have a trade offer. We have a couple of trade offers.

31
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: Anyway, and remember Lineman, I like in Hampton.

32
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: We don't have a second round pick.

33
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: Now, I'm really app to trading down.

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm gonna look at those trade off.

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 3: I wouldn't break my heart to take Grant here either. No,

36
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,279
Speaker 3: we'll not. No, I mean he's a really good player.

37
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: The Vikings are on the phone. They're offering us. They're

38
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: pick number twenty four. Okay, I'm interested, yeah, yeah, definitely.

39
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: But all they want to give up is their twenty

40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: twenty six fourth round draft pick. That ain't getting it done. No,

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: that's not enough to move the problem with the Vikings

42
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: is they don't have a second two or three A three, right,

43
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: So I would do that for A three even probably, Yeah,

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: but they're hard to deal with. I can't I can't

45
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: do that, right, No, we can't talk to them. Yeah,

46
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: so right now we have to stick and pick. Right,

47
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: it's Grant?

48
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: Yeah good. Yeah.

49
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: I don't care where their rankings have these guys, because

50
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: again no I don't either. Don't get caught up in

51
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: the rankings folks on these different websites, because after you

52
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: get past the first ten to twelve players, they.

53
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: Can kind of be able to throw a blanket over.

54
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: The next sixty guys because they're all going to be

55
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: great very similarly.

56
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: That's why I never care about the final grades after

57
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:51,119
Speaker 3: we mark.

58
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: Now there, you know, right now Kenneth Grant is to pick,

59
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: but we don't have a second round draft pick. Now

60
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pause here, we're forty three. San Francisco's up

61
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: with their pick Amar and Hampton is still there.

62
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: Let's say, is there a back? Is there a Henderson

63
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: or a Hampton?

64
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hampton. I'm gonna just call the running backs here.

65
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 2: Here's what's still available. Hampton, Quinn, Shawn Jenkins, Trevon Henderson,

66
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: DJ Giddons, Cam Scatabo, Bayshell tooton.

67
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: Those top three are way different than the other one.

68
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, do I think about trying to come up. I'm

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: gonna it's gonna be costly to come up.

70
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a three in next your three or more. Yeah,

71
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: I mean I would wait until one or two of

72
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: those running backs.

73
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: Falls could happen quickly.

74
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: It could, but there's three there that would suit the

75
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: would fit the bill.

76
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: Okay, i'm gonna, I'm gonna hit restart here. We're gonna

77
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: let this go a little bit more. I know it

78
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: can be hard to pause, and we know the forty

79
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: nine ers aren't taking a running back. That's kind of

80
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: what I know. I'm gonna resume. I'm watching the running

81
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: back list. Hampton just went, okay, we're at fifty nine.

82
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 2: The Seahawks have to have the pick.

83
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: They won't take it.

84
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: Do we want to move up for Quinn Shawn Jenkins?

85
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 3: What number do we have?

86
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: We don't pick again until eighty four or eighty three.

87
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, so we would be coming up twenty four picks.

88
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: It's gonna cost us next to your second right for

89
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: a running back. I say, no, Okay, I'm gonna, I'm

90
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: gonna let it roll a little bit longer. Here, Jenkins

91
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: just went. We're at sixty four now, the last pick

92
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: of the first round or second round?

93
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

94
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: Do we think the Eagles are going to take a

95
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 2: running back? Probably not Henderson. Still Henderson's there, getting Giddins

96
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: is available, and Scatterbo is available, Baseell Toot and Ollie Gordon,

97
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: Damian Martinez.

98
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 3: It's a little bit of a drop off there is.

99
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 3: I mean, Henderson stands alone to.

100
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: Me, Yeah, but the Giddins and scat Scatbo would be valuable. Yeah,

101
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna let it go again. Yeah, we're

102
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: seventy two. Henderson is still there. We now pick in

103
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: eleven picks.

104
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 3: You didn't make an offer.

105
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 2: The Bears are on the clock.

106
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,119
Speaker 3: They could take them.

107
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: They could take him.

108
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: I don't know what they took already, if they took.

109
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: Research, But right at this point, I think he kind

110
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: of let it ride. Henderson to me, is kind of

111
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: now that you have Kenneth Gamewall on board, it's a

112
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: little Redunda banger. Yeah, it's a little redund right.

113
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 3: I mean I'm shocked he's there. And if you could

114
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: give him a third round, wow, but who's your banger? Yeah?

115
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: All right, let it ride. Let it ride, all right,

116
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 3: and the only thing we have to offer is future picks.

117
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: By the way, we're seventy eight and Henderson is still available.

118
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 3: But number eighty three, would you go up next year's

119
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 3: fourth to go there? I think he's hanged, all right,

120
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 3: he just went Scattabotus West.

121
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: No, Scatabo's still available. Yeah, we do have a trade offer.

122
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 2: Broncos want to give us one twenty two and a

123
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 2: third next year for eighty three. I'm gonna reject that. Yeah,

124
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: do we take Scatabo there?

125
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: Who else is available?

126
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 2: Giddins is there, Kevin Winston, Junior, Tess Johnson, Tes Johnson,

127
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: Jalen Royals is there. I'd be interested in him, Omar

128
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: Norman Lott.

129
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: I would say I'm more of a second d lineman.

130
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jared Ivy, Shamar Turner. I'll just look at the

131
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: defensive line. Just yeah, narrow this down a little bit,

132
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 2: so you're looking at Norman Lott, Shamar Turner, Josh Farmer,

133
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: C J West, Howard Cross, Jordan Phillips, Jamari Caldwell, JJ Pegas,

134
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: Riley Mills, Elijah Roberts, Simion Borrow, Ty Robinson, Cam Jackson.

135
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: Okay, so I think we're gonna wait. Farmer is my

136
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 3: favorite of the D tackles or running backs, but there

137
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: was five of those D tackles. Yeah, I think you

138
00:06:54,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: take Scattabow now and Caldwell or or Phillips or West

139
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: should be there for your next pick. Yeah, I was.

140
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 2: We got Grant. If we ended up with ty Robinson, oh,

141
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: I'll be fine with that too. I'll be fine with that.

142
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: And I don't look at Grant. The beauty of him

143
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 3: to me is he could be either. I can be another.

144
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: If I take Phillips here as a pure nose and

145
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: we'll figure out what to do with Grant. I mean

146
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: he can he could.

147
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: Be our He could be our starting nose. That doesn't

148
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: mean the two years from now he's our starting nose,

149
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: or that him and Phillips could be the starting nose

150
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: and Grant kicks out the end exactly.

151
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: He can move him all over the line as well. Yeah,

152
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: I mean that's why you take him at twenty one.

153
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: None of the none of the wide receivers you got

154
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: Ted Johnson, Jalen Royals, Kyraen Lacy. We should mention that

155
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: the Steelers did agreed to terms. Agreed to terms. According

156

216
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: line fullback.

217
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,000

Speaker 2: anywhere anywhere, really.

219
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:09,000

220
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,920

221
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: but quarterback. I mean, there's there's not a position I

222

Speaker 3: would say, absolutely not.

223
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: I mean I would look at a quarterback in a

224
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: big way. At this point, we haven't taken one.

225
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 3: Right, just fight Skyler Thompson for that third.

Speaker 2: Max Brosmer is there, Brady Cook is there.

230
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,640

231
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: I mean that we're talking about seventh round.

232

Speaker 3: all I know about Elgers is three days at the

235
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 3: He would be.

236
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: A guy that would invite in as an undrafted rookie

237
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:44,560

247
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: we have two twenty nine still up here, and I'm

248
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: gonna reject that. We're taught trading it. So Terry and

249
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: Ingram Dawkins is still there. Devin Neil the Quinn Allen

250
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,920

Speaker 3: Like, sign up on that.

253
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: But he's another tight end. We know another tight end,

254
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: Vernon Broughton.

255
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 3: I par him guarantee to make the team. I mean,

256
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 3: it's not a huge deal.

257
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: No, I'm just looking here. If there's anybody else that

258

Speaker 2: jumps out at me, Brandon Crenshaw, Dixon is still there, okay,

259
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 2: yesterday at the offensive composition, Trevor atn is he your stackhouse?

260
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: Craig Woodson, the safety out of Cal.

261
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: After the Gainwell signing, i'd be I think two running

262
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 3: backs is off the table.

263
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's That've.

264
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: Done that a lot. I think they'll take one for sure,

265
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 3: but I think two is not gonna happen.

266
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: I don't even have a feeling one way or the

267
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: other here looking at some of these names, Like.

268
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: I like Haws. I know tight end's not the biggest

269
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: need in the world, But I.

270
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: Like the player.

271
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the player.

272
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: That's the thing, right, And he's my sleeper tight end

273
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: in this draft.

274
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 3: He's a hammer.

275
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah right, all right? Jackson haas it is.

276
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: It might be in a practice squad, but you know,

277
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 3: I might make him my fullback block people. I know,

278
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 3: block people.

279
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: He is a meathead, all right. So what we ended

280
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: up with and we didn't make.

281
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: A single trade, No we didn't. Huh.

282
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: We had offers.

283
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 3: We didn't do it, though we strongly considered it in

284
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 3: round one, but the Vikings were not the good partner.

285
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 2: Would have liked to have gotten a second round pick back,

286
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: which we did yesterday. Well, this is what it looks

287
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: like if you don't do that, to be a little thin.

288
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: So we ended up with Kenneth Grant. It picked twenty one, which, hey,

289
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: I would take that right now. Yeah, you know Cam

290
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: Scattabow it picked eighty three.

291
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: Okay, now it's not Hampton, but it's a good back

292
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: that it should get a lot of rookie carries.

293
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

294
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 4: Uh.

295
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 2: Anthony Belton at won twenty three the offensive tackle out

296
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: of NC State.

297
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 3: After we didn't make the first when we when we

298
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: didn't get a second round pick, I thought we're probably

299
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: not going to get attack, you know. I mean I

300
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 3: thought that might be where we lose, you know, And

301
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: I was happy he was still there.

302
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 2: JJ pegis our second defensive lineman at one fifty sixty

303
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 2: defensive nose tackle out of Ole Miss. At two twenty three,

304
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: we took Curtis Rourke, yeah, quarterback out of Indiana, And

305
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: at two twenty nine we got Jackson Hawes, the tight end.

306
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: Just yeah, he's a hammer out of Georgia Tech. I

307
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: would think rourk that late all day long. Yeah, I

308
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: mean it's super late in the draft. I think he

309
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 3: I'd consider him in the fifth round.

310
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: The only problem with Rourke is he's recovering from an

311
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: ACL They played with it all year, played with it

312
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: all year, but now he's had I believe, surgery on it.

313
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: So when is he going to get back on the

314
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: football field. Well, you don't need him.

315
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 3: To this year, you don't, but you'd love him. You'd

316
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 3: like to, you'd love him being rookie mining camp with

317
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: probably no chase.

318
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: It's not going to happen, right, I think I think

319
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: he said it's a combine that he would be ready

320
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: to go by hopefully training camp, hopefully training rookie.

321
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: That's yeah. I hadn't thought of that angle. I knew

322
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 3: he played with it, but I didn't think about when

323
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: it got repaired.

324
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: But it doesn't preclude you. He's a seventh throng quarterback

325
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: doesn't doesn't keep you from taking one next year, and

326
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: you might just put him on the practice squad.

327
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 3: He might be for a year, yeah, right, but I

328
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: wouldn't mind him be in a camp even if it's

329
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: next year, right, I mean, if you your first round

330
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 3: quarterback in all year long, learn from whoever and then

331
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: get healthy. They had a good year on a torn

332
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: a cl just had.

333
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: A good year every year he's been in college football, right,

334
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: People just didn't know about him before because he was

335
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: in the MAC. Like, no, I think he's the reason

336
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: why Indiana.

337
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's a program elevator. Yeah, like Ritter did

338
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: that with Cincinnati, right, and he did it with torn

339
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: a c L. Yeah, he's not that mobile. Yeah yeah,

340
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 3: I like to playing through it. Yeah, and now you've Rudolph.

341
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: I mean, the chance to him seeing the field this

342
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: year anyway, right, middle school probably Skyler Thompson's ad of

343
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: him because he's been an NFL player, right, you know,

344
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: if somebody were to get hurt in camp or whatever.

345
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't hate it.

346
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 3: I don't hate it.

347
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: I mean I would I would take if you told

348
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: me right now without a second round pick.

349
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 3: I mean, you got DK Metcalf in the deal too.

350
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: The Steelers. The Steelers come out of this draft with

351
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: their first two picks being Kenneth Grant and Camp Scatterbo.

352
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, I'll definitely take for one of that.

353
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: And you know, I even like the two. Belton and

354
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: Pegas are both two big guys, that.

355
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 3: Big maller type. Yeah, physical dudes, fit the division and

356
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 3: the mindset. Yeah, no, I don't dislike it at all.

357
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you got DK Metcalf's. It's very much like

358
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: the Menkea Fitzpatrick deal. Okay, you didn't have a first

359
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: round pick that year.

360
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's right. You can't forget these things, right,

361
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 3: And when you look at the draft last boy, they

362
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: didn't get much of the draft.

363
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: That was their first pick, Patrick, first pick.

364
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: You didn't throw the first round pick down the sewer, right,

365
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: he did something?

366
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: You got it all throw safety kind of a big deal.

367
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: If the DK Metcalff goes out next year and makes

368
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl, nobody's gonna be talking about, Well, the

369
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: Steelers didn't have a second round pick the year.

370
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 3: Sure, right, and who knows it would be great to

371
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 3: get back in the second round.

372
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: I would like to do that very much, But again

373
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: the you know, at what cost?

374
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: It seems like the only way to do it is

375
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 3: trading down in round one.

376
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: We're trading this year's third and next year's two or

377
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: next year something next, depending on high up you want

378
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 2: to go, right, I.

379
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 3: Mean, because usually if you trade a third next year,

380
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: that gets you a fourth this year, right, I mean

381
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 3: I would give up a two. I'm not giving up

382
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 3: in next year is one, no matter what, I given

383
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: up next year's two in any situation.

384
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 2: This year's three and next year's two to get back

385
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 2: into the second round this.

386
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 3: Year, I better love a player better be like Hampton

387
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: sitting there or something better be the next step on

388
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 3: to it, right or somebody like that. They should not

389
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 3: be there, you know. I mean, I wouldn't mind giving

390
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 3: up this year's third and next year's third for the

391
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 3: right for Hampton. Yeah, you know, but that's not gonna

392
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 3: get as far as you think.

393
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, wouldn't it wouldn't. We weren't gonna be able to

394
00:17:58,480 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 2: get up into this and.

395
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: Then around the me Trey Pickens. Well, then you have

396
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: a wealth of that kind of stuff, But you also

397
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 3: open up another knee receiver, right, yeah, I mean scronic

398
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: and Scotti, Miller aren't going to replace no, George Pickens.

399
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: No, that's just the reality. Oh yeah, yeah, So anyways,

00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: give us a thumbs up on that.

421
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 3: It sounds like you get yourself a new number four jersey.

422
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: That's the thing. So that was a big question for

423
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: me today, Like because Kenneth Game, well, we're fourteen in Philadelphia,

424
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf, We're fourteen in Seattle. George Pickens, where's fourteen

425
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: for the Pittsburgh Steelers? Who was gonna win the battle

426
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 2: for fourteen?

427
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: Throw them all in a room. I'll bet on DK

428
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: coming out.

429
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. So if DK Metcalf or Kenneth

430
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 2: Game Well wanted the number fourteen, yeah, and George Pickens

431
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 2: were willing to give it up, they would have to

432
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 2: pay to have that happen because all the fourteen Pickings

433
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: jerseys out there would then have to be bought.

434
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 3: Oh that's how that works in Yeah, there's a rule. Now,

435
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 3: it's not like you just because.

436
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: They're already out there. You go to any of the

437
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 2: Steelers pro shops or anything like that, there are a

438
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 2: bunch of George Yeah.

439
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 3: Or NFL dot Com has a bunch of them on

440
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: stock or whatever in stock right, they're made. So somebody

441
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: DK would have to pay by every one of them. Yeah,

442
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 3: do you think they ship him to his house?

443
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 5: No?

444
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: What happens they go to some third world country or something,

445
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 3: or maybe.

446
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 2: You see a bunch of guys big George pickingsons. No,

447
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: I got it on sale down at the I.

448
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: Got the best deal ever.

449
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 2: Chuck a luck.

450
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 3: That is kind of interesting. It's a weird rule. You

451
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 3: won't just take George to dinner and be like, hey,

452
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: how about I have give you a number.

453
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 2: Fifty grand and give me the number.

454
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 3: No.

455
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: Well, beyond that, there's more to it. All the years

456
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 2: played in the NFL. You played a game, right, they

457
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: got a jersey for you. But h yeah, you can

458
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 2: go get that.

459
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 3: So the point is Metcalf is wearing four.

460
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 2: He's wearing number four.

461
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 3: Okay, we don't know what Kenneth is wearing. Yeah, you

462
00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 3: need to figure that out.

463
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: Can't be twenty four, right, look at that.

464
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: I'm really bad. It's amazing how bad my mind works

465
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: with jersey numbers. Yeah, I've never been a big I

466
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: never get it. My son's the oppotion knows every jersey

467
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 3: number in the whole league.

468
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 2: I never paid it. I pay attention to the name

469
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: on the jersey, not the jersey.

470
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 3: I could see him running around and know exactly who

471
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 3: it is. If they didn't even have a number or name.

472
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: On the twenty four is Joey Porter Junior? Thirty four

473
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 2: is open. It's a better that's a running back number,

474
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 2: a better running back number.

475
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 3: Anyways, if there has to be a four on the end, yeah,

476
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 3: if that's what he cares well, if if he wants

477
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 3: says something with a one on it, then it can't be.

478
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 3: Many Many running backs were fourteen. I was shocked when

479
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 3: you said that that. Yeah, many a running back number.

480
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 3: It's not a running back then, no. Right, they're more

481
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 3: lenient now than it used to be.

482
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: These things game well is a Memphis product. Those guys

483
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: do well, those Memphis products.

484
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 3: Like it's amazing they running back right, Like.

485
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: It's every year there's there's a running back out of

486
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: Memphis and like, wow, guy's good. Or a wide receiver

487
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: and they're all fast.

488
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 3: And they're all fast and they have some toughness to him,

489
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 3: and he's had a good career. I think that's an

490
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 3: underrated little pickup. Yeah.

491
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 2: I think when it's all said and done, of the

492
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: guys the Steelers picked up, obviously Slay is going to

493
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 2: be a He's a starter starter, right, Yeah. Metcalf is

494
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 2: a starter game alls been going to be a guy

495
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: that I think a lot of Steeler fans are going

496
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 2: to look at it and go, that's a pretty that's

497
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: a good bargain signing.

498
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 3: There might be five carries a game for thirty yards

499
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 3: or whatever, but maybe at the end of the season

500
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 3: it's like, boy, he got on the end zone four

501
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 3: times and caught a handful of passes, and remember when

502
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 3: he got us out of that Bengals game, or you know,

503
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 3: like he's gonna be useful.

504
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 2: You have four hundred rushing yards and I've caught you know,

505
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 2: thirty five passes and yeah, yeah, yeah, that's pretty good.

506
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 3: You know. I mean, who knows what they do in

507
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 3: the draft. But will he be the third down back?

508
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, Warren's so good at that right,

509
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 3: but if Warren's doing the early down work, you take

510
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 3: Aham Warren.

511
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to give him a break. Sometime.

512
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 3: He keeps what you had in the draft. And while

513
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 3: of those guys come out of the draft, they don't

514
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 3: pass protect or you got, they could to earn their

515
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 3: trust a little bit too.

516
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know he'll be the kick returner as well.

517
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: That's a done deal.

518
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's done that to the last basically year and

519
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: a half now for the Eagles, and I would assume

520
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 2: he does that some of that for the Steelers. He

521
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 2: can fly.

522
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's fast.

523
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 2: A four to four to two guy.

524
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 3: Is that what he ran? Yeah, that doesn't shock me.

525
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: I had somebody on a message boards Steelers need to

526
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: go get Josh Gray from Texas because they don't have

527
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 2: a back Like I'm like, that's exactly what they signed,

528
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: the better version of proven version of ben.

529
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: Around the league. And yeah, I would have played a

530
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 3: lot more if it wasn't for Sa Kwon Barkley obviously

531
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 3: last year. Right, No, I like that pick up. So

532
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 3: you know, him and Eckles are the two I just

533
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 3: didn't see coming at all, and I'm warming up to

534
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 3: both of them.

535
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, those guys can both play in this league and play.

536
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 2: They give you some flexibility, you know, he can be It's.

537
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: A long season. You gotta ask I do a lot

538
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 3: of different stuff.

539
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 2: And the thing is about Memphis is they run a

540
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 2: ton of outside zone which when he was.

541
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 3: There, which yeah, he's going to get to the edge exactly,

542
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 3: and what they're looking for zone runners. Yeah, I mean

543
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 3: I still need a little more homework on the draftable guys,

544
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 3: but ones that aren't accomplished zone runners, I bet are

545
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 3: probably not for the Steelers.

546
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 2: Again, the teams tell you what they're planning to do

547
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 2: with the moves that they make, and that one's screams like,

548
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: we're looking for guys who can run the outside zone.

549
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 3: And he is fast. A lot of Memphis guys are fast.

550
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: I can all fly. Yeah, something in the water down there,

551
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

552
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: Whatever the place you talk to us.

553
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: So it's funny Echoles is a Memphis guy.

554
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he can fly too.

555
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: By it, he can fly as well. He played high

556
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 2: school football against DK Metcalf. Really, where did K grow up?

557
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: Even in the Memphis area? Okay, and they're all from

558
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 2: being strong, fast, fast whatever expect somebody that I don't

559
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: know what it is that Memphis area wherever they're doing

560
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 2: down here in Memphis. If we got the listeners in Memphis,

561
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 2: if you can clue us in here to what's going

562
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 2: on in Memphis. Why they have all these guys that

563
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 2: can run?

564
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: They get shipping lineman look out. Yeah, now the running

565
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 3: backs from Memphis have done well. I didn't realize DK

566
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 3: grew up in that area.

567
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, his high school played against DK Metcalf's

568
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: high school. When when he was in school and and

569
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: somebody asked him if he was he was asked, you know,

570
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 2: did you how did you match up against? He said, why,

571
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: I was an offensive skill player at that point. He

572
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 2: didn't move to defense until later when he got to college.

573
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 3: But he was.

574
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 2: He was impressive.

575
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: I bet he was pretty good. He was pretty good.

576
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 3: He probably looked the part. Yeah. Again, I can't wait

577
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 3: to see him in person.

578
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: But he heard of Calvin Austin. Calvin Austin can fly. Yeah,

579
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 2: you know those guys all run.

580
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been quite a few. Gibson Pollard, a couple

581
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 3: of those guys, right, Yeah, so it's Angela Williams. Angela

582
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 3: Williams had good success here. So now I think they're

583
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: in good shape running back position going into the draft. Yeah,

584
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it'd be nice to get, you know, back

585
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: to our I wonder if Henderson is less exciting now.

586
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 3: I hadn't thought of that angle.

587
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 2: But he's kind of a little redundant.

588
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 3: A little redundant, but you know, the ability to take

589
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 3: the house was certainly intriguing. I don't know if you

590
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 3: can get Jenkins unless you know, with the gap where

591
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 3: they're presently sitting there. I don't know you can get Judkins,

592
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 3: but someone could fall to the third that shocks you.

593
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 3: I mean, how many teams really need running backs or

594
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 3: it would be really smart about using a top two pick.

595
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: We're in the market for that particular style of running.

596
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 3: Back, Like we know Gent's going to be gone, but

597
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 3: even finding a landing spot for him isn't easy.

598
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: Same thing with a Campton, Like they're looking at this

599
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 2: and some teams have started feeling like Dallas is they've

600
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 2: signed a running back.

601
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 3: Right right right. I mentioned I did a mock I

602
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 3: genty going to the Bears after they signed their interior line.

603
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 3: I thought, okay, you know they want to run the

604
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 3: football if it's a Lions like manner. And then I

605
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 3: had the Broncos take Hampton because I mean, they signed

606
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 3: Ingram the other day. I could see Hampton going there.

607
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 3: But I don't know. The Chargers done, I don't, I don't.

608
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 3: I bet the Cowboys aren't done. But that doesn't mean

609
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 3: use a top two round on a running back. It's

610
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 3: like it's such a deep draft. Will good nause in

611
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 3: a fourth or you know, and that's kind of thing.

612
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 3: It's fun to kind of work out too, Like who

613
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 3: we really competing for? Did a ton with centers last year.

614
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 3: It's not like receiver where everybody could use one or

615
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 3: alignment everybody could use. You know, who's really in the

616
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 3: market for using a premium pick on a running back?

617
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 2: As we know, as everybody says, you can find those

618
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 2: running backs anywhere and anywhere. Just pick one up running

619
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 2: back tree and you pick one off from this one works.

620
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 3: That would be fine right all the time. Yeah, not quite.

621
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 2: And there's still some other veteran backs out there who

622
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 2: are probably going to be signed somewhere.

623
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 3: A Dobbins and ub I mean, guys have had success.

624
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know that. You know, they're necessarily

625
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: they're not gonna I don't think the Steelers are signing another.

626
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 3: Well, no, I think that's coming to be a drive.

627
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 2: And even that was, I mean, so cheap of a deal.

628
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: Like all the running there's not been a running back

629
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: who signed a multi year deal yet that I've seen.

630
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 3: No. I mean, I think Nausey was the most marketing.

631
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 2: He's been the most expensive one, right.

632
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 3: Right, I think he's the one those most sought after. Yeah,

633
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: I assume Aaron Jones, like a one year deal.

634
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: He was too, he stayed with his own team. Yeah,

635
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 2: and he probably probably I mean he's.

636
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 3: Thirty two years old both years. It's fake money. Yeah,

637
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 3: I was taking that too. I mean he's a little older. No,

638
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 3: it is interesting. Again, it is a really good back class,

639
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 3: and I do think they're probably done with free agents.

640
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 2: And some of the you know, some of the receiver

641
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: stuff that's been out there. They probably gotten a little

642
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 2: bit more money than when I thought that they would,

643
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 2: a few of them.

644
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 3: I mean we talked about Mike Williams, I mean some

645
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 3: of the guys that were boy, I thought he'd get eight,

646
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: he got ten. The guys got.

647
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: Heret with like Cooper Cup. He wants you know, he

648
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 2: wants ten plus, like Cooper Cup ten plus.

649
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: I don't think, I mean like, I think he's closer

650
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 3: to Hopkins at five right at this stage, those perio

651
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 3: it's really only a slot only.

652
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: At this and I think that's probably why some of

653
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 2: those other guys haven't signed yet.

654
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: Like I bet Cooper and Diggs and those guys they

655
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 3: want worth more than.

656
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: They they want more money than what they're gonna get.

657
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 3: Right right, And they all have warts. I mean, this

658
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 3: isn't three years ago, right, no receiver.

659
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: Markets, but you still feel that way when you're the player,

660
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: and you should. I mean, William's got ten million last

661
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 2: year coming off in a cl true.

662
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 3: True. I guess it was he worth more then than now.

663
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 3: Not really, yeah, I mean it was like he put

664
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 3: great tape outs in.

665
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: But he's healthy, he's healthy, can run, he can participate

666
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: in OTAs and stuff.

667
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 3: But tenan Allen's in their name is so out there,

668
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 3: h I mean, there's a lot of that hasn't that.

669
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: That market hasn't been that's been really, you know, once

670
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: Godwin kind of got out and some of the other

671
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 2: stuff that happened before the before free agency started his

672
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: debo trade.

673
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 3: And stuff like that too. Yeah. I wonder whether those

674
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 3: guys all scream one year contracts to me, all those

675
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: receivers that are brand name guys.

676
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: And they might all want a one year deal.

677
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 3: No, I would think the Steelers are out of that

678
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 3: market now too, Not that Scornic would stop that. But

679
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 3: you added him today. Your room's filling up pretty quick.

680
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 3: If you're thinking about moving pickings then, But I mean

681
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 3: a couple would kind of interest me in the three

682
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: receiver set of Cup in the slot with those two

683
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 3: behemoths on.

684
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: The outside, this chronic.

685
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: They aren't kind of similar.

686
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 5: He was.

687
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 2: He was the rams replacement for when Cup was hurt exactly.

688
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 3: And he's a big physical guy like that, you know, right,

689
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 3: So I.

690
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: Don't know, we'll see there's again, there's more that's going

691
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 2: to happen. Oh yeah, maybe it'll be a quarterback. Who

692
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 2: knows that's going to happen at some point, I think.

693
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 2: But anyways, let's get to another break. When we come back,

694
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: we're gonna hear from one of the new Steeler free agents.

Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles, and uh, well they had a couple of

710

00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they like plucking away from the It's also like

713
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 3: adding super Bowl champions because they've done that over the

714
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: last couple of years as well, like adding guys who

715
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 3: have rings. Oh yeah, I mean those guys have a

716
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: little more value and it goes a long way. I mean,

717
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 3: do you think Porter's happy that Slay's there? Should be

718

Speaker 2: when he met with the media today.

721
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 5: Man, just a great opportunity man and coach Mike Tifa show.

722
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 5: You know, I always speak highly on him. I've always

723
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 5: been why from Afar and and a lot of guys

724
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 5: I know, you know, I looked up to s players

725
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 5: came here and just always told me great things, like

726
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 5: you know, Pat p Joe Hayden is one of my

727
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 5: favorite corners growing up when I was young, even though

728
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 5: we ain't that far apart, but I was always used

729
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 5: to watch him a lot heavy and uh, you know

730
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 5: I got cam you know, Caim do a great job,

731
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 5: which is always mentioned to him. And what's the other

732
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,239
Speaker 5: crazy is uh you know Rod Woodson, you know. Uh,

733
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 5: that was my mentor coming in when I got drafted.

734
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 5: I stayed at this house about a month and a half,

735
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 5: learned football from him. So uh yeah, that's another good

736
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 5: part of my reasons too. Uh. We had the same agent,

737
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 5: Eugene Parker, you know, God rest his soul, and and

738
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,479
Speaker 5: you know he introduced me to him and that's how

739
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 5: he kind of draw me to sign with him too.

740
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 5: He had a lot of guys that I looked up

741
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 5: to in this game. He had Dion Rod and you

742
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 5: know a couple other guys I used to look up to.

743

744
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 5: and both phone gave me a lot of, you know,

745
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 5: great advice about ball and everything. It's slay. Oh, it's slay,

Speaker 5: be able to be able to play and uh, he

753
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,360

00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 2: happening a couple of years ago.

762
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, how did you get it across the finish this?

763

Speaker 2: Uh?

764
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 5: You know when uh uh two years ago when it happened,

765
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 5: when uh the Eagles kind of like released me. Uh

766
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 5: they did not like to like, I don't know, let

767
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 5: it clear our guess, you know, you know. So uh

768
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 5: then they had just like, hey, naw, we're not releasing you.

769
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 5: Let's just work out a deal. And then you know,

00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 5: we came to a great number and then when I stayed.

771

880
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 5: losing season for a reason, you know, so Uh, I

881

Speaker 5: than all right, I'm gonna That.

958
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 2: Was new Steelers cornerback Darius Slay with the assembled media today,

959
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 2: and uh, he's a confident dude.

960
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he should be. He's a really good career.

961
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 3: He followed around number one receivers, He plays man coverage,

962
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 3: He does the tough things, right.

963
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 2: He does the tough things. They're not going to ask

964
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 2: him to necessarily do the tough things, but they're going

965
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 2: to ask him to be the starter opposite Joey Porter Junior.

966
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 3: And frankly, if if he's the player he was last

967
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 3: year for much of his twenty twenty four Eagle tenure,

968
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 3: maybe Porter doesn't follow as much, right, They.

969
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 2: Don't have to do it. You know, when you're playing

970
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 2: the Bengals, you can play matchups if you want, but

971
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 2: you can left right it or you know, if you're

972
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 2: playing another team that you know just you can make

973
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 2: that decision. You have more tools than your toolbox.
