He is 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.280 Jordan Read. Jordan, thanks for joining me, man, thank you 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.200 for having me on. Travis. Yeah, it's good to meet 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.160 you down in Indianapolis. Your first combine, my first combine 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.440 and with that, that's kind of the theme of the 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.400 week here on the Drivetime podcast and across all kinds 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.280 of podcast out there in the podcast universe. And so 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.280 I wanted to first ask you which players out there 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.200 that really did well for themselves, whether it was the 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.440 interviews or the on field workouts or the measurements, who 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.640 really made the biggest strides last week in Indianapolis on 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.000 your big board. Um, there was quite a few guys 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.040 that really did bump themselves up. Um. You know, it's 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.080 just different getting to see these guys in person, just 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.360 because you can watch all the film in the world 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.039 and you can read all about these guys, but it's 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.920 just different being in front of him actually talking to him. 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.800 But one guy that really did imprence me was claib 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.400 and Song, the defensive end from L s U. And 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.000 would impress me so much about him? Is that actually 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.520 got the first question into him and I just said, man, 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.440 just go and said, like, addressed the run defensive issues 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.440 that everybody has with you and he was just said 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.720 he just said that, you know, whenever you're hiring somebody, 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.200 do you want to hire somebody that speaks one language 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.079 or three languages? And he said, I'm the guy that 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.400 can speak three languages. And he said he can rest 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.679 the pastor he can drop in coverage, and also he 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.640 can play the run. So I thought that was a 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.120 really impressive answer. And then I thought the tackle class. 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.040 I thought it definitely lived up to the hype. We 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.320 saw what Tristan Works did with his forty times and 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.320 his vertical running four eight five, which is incredible, and 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.600 then jumping thirty six and the offenses at six ft 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.959 four three twenty pounds just remarkable. McKay Beckton was unbelievable, 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.440 and Andrew Thomas and Jigrick Wills performed really well, but 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.560 they were a bit overshadowed by what Tristan Worst and 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.160 back and did. So I thought the top tier the 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.440 offensive tackle class really lived up to the hype. Well, 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.720 I want to kind of go around our rundown we 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:50.440 have here that are prepared with you, Jordan, because you 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.160 made a good point there about this tackle class. But first, 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.160 real quick, you mentioned the three languages of Calaban Chason, 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.960 and I saw a stat that in the Alabama game 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.800 he had twenty one apps going backwards and coverage and 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.080 only eighteen as a rusher. So that speaks to his 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.040 versatility very very well in that regard. But to get 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.600 back to the tackle class you mentioned, the Dolphins traded 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.040 Laramie tons Al last year for two first round picks 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.640 and a second round pick, and the next season, in 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:18.880 my opinion, Jordan's this draft class is pretty much loaded 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.400 at the top of the offensive tackle position as well. 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.680 So where do you kind of place the value of 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.680 that Laramie Tonsil trade And do you think the draft 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.000 classes we have the next two years really make it 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.080 even more impressive for the Dolphins. Yeah, definitely. Anytime you 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.320 can get a treasure trove with picks, I think it's 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.400 always a good thing. Now, the hard part for Chris 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.480 Greer and Brian floor is is just turning those speaks 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.280 into actual players. And it's always easy getting rid of 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.880 these guys, are you know, trading them for something, But 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.640 turning them into actual players that's really where the hard 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.880 part really comes for them. So it's gonna be really challenging, 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:52.880 and I'm really excited to see what they do. But 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.000 I mean, I'm really I don't want to say I'm 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:56.920 glad that they made the trade for Tunsil, but I 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.720 thought it really made sense for them, just because especially 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:01.760 to that's going through a rebuild and a guy that 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:03.880 was really going to be asking for a contract here 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.400 soon by the time he really was hitting his stride 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.080 and in this prime, it really didn't make sense to 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.760 keep him here in Miami. So I thought they did 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.280 a really good job of getting value for Tunseil. Now, 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.040 if they do want to take a tackle, whether that's 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.240 at five, eighteen or twenty six, we'll see what does 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.000 happen with that, or if they want to wait till 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.880 I haven't actually dug into the offensive tackle class in one, 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.840 of course, just because it's a year away. We know 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.479 when they sewed from Oregon is one name that's already 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.440 out there. But we'll see what does happen with Miami 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.800 how they decide to attack the offensive tackle position going forward. 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.839 And Chris Career has gone on a record on the 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.800 Move the Sticks podcast and otherwise saying that they do 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.200 view this as kind of a two year approach, a 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.200 two year snapshot. Is that common for you in terms 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.720 of scouting circles to kind of have an idea about 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:47.799 what you might be looking at next season? You mentioned 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.760 you haven't looked at the offensive tackle class, but is 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.760 that kind of rare to do that. Well, sometimes you 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.760 get teams that really look ahead, and I think a 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.560 lot of fans get caught up in doing that, like 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.000 Drevor Lawrence and just to feel is everybody's already looking 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.599 forward to that quarterback class for next year. But I 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:05.599 think fans kind of get a little bit caught on 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.400 the hype a little bit more than what teams do, 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.040 just because teams take a year by year approach, and 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.320 I think the Dolphins are just fixated on exactly what 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.880 they're gonna do with this treasure travel picks that they 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.080 have this year, and they have to understand exactly how 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.480 they're gonna attack. They have to treat these things because 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.560 that you to your operation. And I think that's exactly 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.760 what Chris Greers taking. That's the approach that he's taken. 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.159 And we talked about your risers up the board for 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.279 the combine. You just updated your two hundred big board 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.760 on the Draft Network again. Jordan Reed here joining me 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.680 on the Drivetime podcast, and I just want to kind 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.679 of get your general consensus from that two hundred big board, 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.120 like what stands out from Jordan Reads big board compared 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.240 to some other pundits out there and just kind of 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.360 talk about the activity of your big board the last 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.880 couple of weeks. Um. I think what really stands out 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.200 about it is just the guys at the top, and 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.479 there's a little bit of shuffling going on just because 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.720 you're seeing guys really makes stand out performances, whether that's 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.680 at the combine or you know, some of the other 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.800 things they that did down the back stretch of the year. 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.600 And I mean, Chase Young is a guy that's been 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.839 at the top for me since the summertime, but Jeffer 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.440 Coute and Isett Simmons, the guys that have skyrocketed up 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.720 the board just because the Kudo was basically a one 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.440 year starter coming into the year. He's i should say, 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.279 only started three games coming into the year. This is 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.800 his first year in two thousand nineteen where he was 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.320 a full time starter, and I mean he's just been phenomenal. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.920 As Simmons, we know what he's done and how well 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.520 he performed at the combine, and then it means you 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.760 get the quarterbacks that have skyrocketed up the board. Joe 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:31.080 Burrow is a guy that was basically relatively unknown coming 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.159 into the year. He was seen as a midground pick, 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.599 but he went out and probably had arguably the best 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.360 football season that we've seen from a college quarterback and 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.640 quite some time, and possibly ever, and then the offensive tackles. 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:44.760 A lot of people didn't know about a whole bunch 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.320 of these guys coming into the year outside of Andrew Thomas. 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.000 But I think they've done a really good job of 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:53.080 performing up to part and really competing with the excuse me, 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.839 competing with each other. And you mentioned that quarterback class. 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:57.960 We of course have you know, four or five, maybe 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.839 even six quarterbacks value in that first round based upon 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.120 what the draft network says, and always that bump you 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.760 get from the quarterback class in terms of teams going 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.400 up after the quarterback sooner than expected because of the 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.600 value they offer your team. So can you kind of 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.000 sort this quarterback class for us? How do you rank them? 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.600 And also what does each guy do at top of 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.400 the class that separates that player from the rest of 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.120 his peers in this year's class. Yes, so I'll just 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.160 start with Joe Burrow. He's pretty much seen as the 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.120 consistent top guy, and I mean he's probably gonna end 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.120 up being if all signs point to exactly what is 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.640 expected to happen with him being a number one overall big, 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.440 him being an understenter and Cincinnati, and I mean the 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.520 production speaks to herself. He was phenomenal. Sixty touchdowns over 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.679 five thousand yards passing this year. He had a season 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.720 quite like anything we've ever seen before. And you know, 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.360 they had to plit the real weapons down there and 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.480 he was able to use them properly. So Burrow was 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.640 just fantastic. But I think the thing that makes him 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:55.160 stand out it's just his pocket movability, maneuverability, I should say, 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.640 it's just his improvisation and accuracy and just awareness of 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.840 where to go with the ball at all times, no 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.560 matter which platform he has to throw phone, whether that's 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.880 within the pocket or being able to create and play 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.040 a little bit of sandlot football outside of the pocket. 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.840 I think that's where he does thrive. So, uh, Cincinnati 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:12.560 is gonna get a really good player with him if 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.240 they do elect to take him at the top of 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.480 the draft. And then this guy we have to attack 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:17.960 of by lower. I don't want to say he's the 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.600 consensus second guy, but amongst the most boards, he's the 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.960 second quarterback to right now, it should take QP two 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.840 amongst most boards right now, But durability, that's the one 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:28.520 thing that is always going to be circled on his 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.840 resume and the big question mark that he has to answer. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.200 On April ninth, that is the pro day that he's 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.440 gonna have. He's gonna have a separate workout from everybody 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.280 else to where he's just gonna have a throwing session. 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.280 I'm sure that is an event that pretty much every 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:42.800 team in the league is gonna want to be at 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.080 just because they want to see how healthy too. It 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:47.840 is going into the draft before a team ultimately has 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:49.760 to make a decision on where to draft him. And 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.960 I know there has been a popular name of being 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.400 linked to the Dolphins, so I'm sure Chris Career and 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.200 Brian floor Is will definitely have some interest in what's 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.719 going on April ninth. Then after that, I think you 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:01.640 get into a lot of guys that really have some 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.120 question marks. And Justin Herbert, I'll just start with him, 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:06.880 a guy that came back for a senior year and 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.880 a lot of people were expecting a little bit more 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.120 from him, but I thought he played really well down 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:12.880 the backstretch of the year and the big thing that 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.320 Herbert has done this year, I think that had separated 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.720 himself from some of these other guys is that he 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.280 went down to the Senior Bowl. He was fantastic, he competed. 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.040 Then he went down at the Comboy and he did 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.200 exactly what he needed to do. So I thought the 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.000 competition aspect is showing that he can be a leader. 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.640 I thought he I think he checked two big question 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.280 marks with two big boxes, I should say, going into 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.280 the pre drift process for him. So he's done a 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.960 really good job of answering some questions out there that 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.559 we're out there about him. And then Jordan loved a 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:41.960 guy that that opinions are kind of all over the 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.480 place a little bit about him, just because he had 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:48.319 a very productive eighteen season thirty two touchdowns, six interceptions, 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.480 and he comes back he has a precipitous drop off 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.560 in his production twenty touchdowns to seventeen ye interceptions, But 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.280 there was a lot of changing variables around him, had 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.959 a new head coach, new offensive coordinator, and he lost 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.000 his top three weapons as well. So that's something that 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:04.120 he does have to his disposal. And outside of that, 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.600 you're getting into some other guys Jalen Hurts from Oklahoma, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.960 another guy that a lot of teams are kind of 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:12.000 mixed on right now, just because uh he I showed 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.640 some progression as a pastor, but a lot of teams 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.400 still thinking they're some for growth there. And he's a 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.040 guy you really have to invest all in on, similar 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.880 to Lamar Jackson situation, with the type of offense that 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.280 you're gonna run with him, and then you're getting into 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.439 some third and fourth to your guys like Jacob Bison 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.920 from Washington and then some other guys along the lines 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.840 of that as well. Anthony Gordon from Washington State. There's 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.160 another late round name to have a lot of teams 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:47.040 excited as well. And I always have to put an 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.000 obligatory go Coog's and they're talking about the Washington State 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.680 players because I of course went to Washington State and 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.640 you mentioned some of the later round draft picks there 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.760 at the quarterback position. I do want to get your 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.280 thoughts here, Jordan's on who are some good value buys 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.679 kind of by round, because this Dolphins Draft, you're gonna 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.199 see that logo up on the TV pretty much every 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:07.480 five or ten minutes. It seems like with all these 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.679 draft picks they have, and I know we talked about 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.400 Sleepers being a Day three pick, maybe late on Day 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.480 two even, but I want to get your feelings for 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.480 who could be some good value picks by round, and 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.160 it doesn't have to be the second round, like it 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.679 could be picked eighteen or pick twenty six. Who are 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.319 some of the best value guys you might be able 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.040 to get along each step of the way in this 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:29.640 year's class. Uh So, I think one guy really liked that. 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.680 What that I think really fits with Brian Flores wants 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.280 to do as far as defensively and just having an 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.720 ultimate chess piece on the back end. Antoine Winfield Jr. 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.520 The safety from Minnesota. I think he's one guy that 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.920 really fits with Brian Flores wants to do as far 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.080 as a guy that can really move all over the place. 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.120 And I know position this prospect has been a very 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:53.360 common phrase for a lot of prospects around this time 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.160 of year. I know Isaiah Simmons, that has been commonly 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.680 pigged as a phrase used to describe him. But I 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.520 think you definitely can use that phrase also with antoinain 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.120 Field Junior. Just because he's not just the safety, you 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.000 can use him as a blitcher. He can play in 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.559 nicole corner. He's even had some some players where he's 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.560 played outside corner. Now, he's not gonna be able to 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.600 survive consistently out there just because he's not a super 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.680 big guy, but that just goes to show you just 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.559 the type of type of versatility that he does bring 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.000 to the table. And that's exactly what Brian Flores talks 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.400 about all the time that he just wants these guys 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.960 to be interchangeable, and he wants to be able to 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.640 use some guys in certain areas and he's he's a 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.400 very creative mind. So getting a guy like an Antoine 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.679 Winfield junior, he can move him all over the place. 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.439 And one sleeper name that I think really fits what 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.800 Miami wants to do, and he's probably gonna be a 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.320 third or fourth round pick. His name is Kali Kareem 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.080 from Notre Dame and he's more of a four eye 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.000 or four technique, meaning that he's probably gonna be head 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.160 up over the tackles for the most part, and that's 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.719 a common position and Brian floor as his defense. Now, 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.840 he's not a speedy edge dresser or anything like that, 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:56.920 but if you're looking for a player that can two 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.480 gap and really hold at the point of attack. I 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.679 think he's a player that definitely could sit and what 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.360 Brian Flores wants to do in his defensive scheme. And 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.800 they had plenty of guys running multiple possitions across the 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.079 defensive line last year. Davon Gadha and Christian Wilkins pretty 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.240 much played anywhere from the nose of the zero tech 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.360 all the way out to the five like you mentioned there. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.440 So that versatility always goes along with with this football team, 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.400 both on the field and on the sideline with the 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.720 coaching staff. And I just wanted to get your thoughts 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.319 on just some more Dolphins targets here late in this draft, 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.120 because again, they're gonna have so many draft picks beyond 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.679 just those top three rounds, maybe into that third round, 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:31.840 some of the smaller school guys, some of the sleepers 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:33.560 in the back half of the draft. You got any 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:37.480 of those guys for me here? Jordan's um, some small 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.560 school guys. Maybe they're looking for an interior offensive lineman. 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.320 Now he's not gonna be a late round guy. Maybe 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.800 Day two, late day two, early day three. Robert Hunt 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.480 from Louisiana Lafayette and also his teammate given Dots, and 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:50.400 I think either one of those guys definitely can be 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.040 a value pick, whether that's in the third or even 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.160 the fourth round. I definitely think either one of those 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.840 guys definitely will be really good pickups. And then we 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.319 also have a quarterback said situation coming into the off season, 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.479 but we do know that Ryan Fitzpatrick is the quarterback 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.360 currently holding down the starting position heading into and I 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.480 put a piece up on Miami Dolphins dot Com kind 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.160 of talking about how he's aged better at the back 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.680 end of his career now in year fifteen and really 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.760 statistically speaking on the film analytics, everywhere you look, he's 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.120 improved late in his career. What are your thoughts on 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.360 Ryan Fitzpatrick as the quarterback next season for the Miami Dolphins. 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.520 I love him. Whenever you're thinking about a guy that 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:32.160 is an ideal bridge gap type of quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.560 is definitely one of the top names that comes to mind, 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.440 just because what I love about Fitzpatrick is that he 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.280 always understands his role when he never complains about it, 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.720 and he's gonna give you a ten percent every time 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.200 he's out on the field, and he also generates some 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.880 excitement while doing it. And he's the ultimate leader, I 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.280 like to say, just because guys are gonna play hard 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.600 for him, just because they see the effort that he's given. 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.080 And I mean, he was the team's leading rusher last year, 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.480 So that just goes to show you, like how well 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.640 he played last year and just how much he lays 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.120 it all out on the line and team and teams 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.120 are seeing that, and guy, his teammates are seeing that 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:06.720 that he lays it all out on the line every 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.920 time he's after on the field, and he welcomes competition 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.360 and he embraces it and he runs with it. So 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.320 that's something I've always enjoyed with this Patrick, no matter 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.400 where he's been throughout his career. Yeah, I can always 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.880 talk about the ability for the Dolphins offensive score points 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:21.960 late in the season. They had a hundred and twenty 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.480 five first downs in December last year. Just to make 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.160 a reference point to that, the Baltimore Ravens in the 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.400 month of December, the number one offense in the NFL, 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.640 only had a hundred and twelve first down. So Ryan 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.360 Fitzpatrick definitely got that offense cranking towards the end of 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.160 the year, Jordan read the Draft Network Lockdown College Football podcast. 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.000 You guys can find him on Twitter at Jay Reid NFL. 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.760 He is not Jordan Reid of the Washington Redskins the 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.720 Draft Network Jordan, We appreciate your time so much, man, 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.760 thanks a lot for doing this. Thank you as always, Dravis, 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.240 the pleasure being here. And one of the things Jordan 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.440 did so brilliantly there for me and probably unintentionally, was 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.360 he teamed me up to get into my next segments 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.520 here talking about a couple of pieces on Miami Dolphins 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.680 dot Com. And I want to parlay this right into 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.960 the Ryan Fitzpatrick peace talking about how he has improved 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.600 with age, and we actually heard him talk about that 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.480 last year and his first mini camp way back in April, 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.520 just a month after he signed with the Miami Dolphins. 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.560 And there are some age perceptions that are out there 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.720 in the NFL and football world in general, and obviously 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.680 being old and football is much different than being old 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.720 in real life, but typically right around the thirty mark, 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.640 that's kind of when conventional wisdom says, maybe the clock 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.360 starts on this player. And I've always made the argument 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.720 that for quarterbacks, the more they see the game with 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.720 their mind, and especially as we get further and further 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:40.200 into this modern day era of the National Football League, 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.560 that quarterbacks get sharper upstairs, and maybe even if the 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:47.240 physical skills are not what they were at age twenty five, 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.280 that they can play even better football, because playing quarterback 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.720 is all about how you beat teams with your mind. 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.160 And that's why you see guys like Tom Brady winning 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.520 super Bowls post forty birthday or Drew Brees throwing for 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.480 a billion yards every year in his thirty eight, thirty nine, 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:05.679 age forty seasons. And Ryan Fitzpatrick's career is basically on 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.440 a similar trajectory as that, and he mentioned it last 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.520 year at the Minicamps, saying, quote, I think in the 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.600 last four or five years, I've really gotten better every year. 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.160 And I think, as funny as it sounds, I think 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.159 my best football is still ahead of me. And although 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.200 the box score is not the end all be all, 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.399 the data does agree with Ryan Fitzpatrick that he's trending 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:26.919 upwards in his career. If you go back over the 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.720 past six seasons, his numbers have improved from the first 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.119 nine years of his career post thirty second birthday, a 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:36.280 sixty point eight completion percentage that's up by a full 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.280 point a seven point four yards per attempt average that's 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.200 up almost a full yard point nine points better than 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.199 what it was the first nine years of his career. 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.480 A four point eight touchdown percent compared to four point 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:50.160 one in the first stanza of his career, a three 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.040 point one interception rate compared to three point six, and 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:55.879 an eighty six point three passer rating compared to seventy 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.760
