Speaker 1: You're on Steelers Nation Radio and Matt Um, Aaron Schatz

5
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: and Alex vic Derman familiar with them? Uh did a

6
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: thing eron course? Aaron works for Football Ciders. They put

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: together a thing for ESPN the best rookie classes for

8
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: two ranking teams based on the production of their rookies. Yeah,

9
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: so let's go ahead and take a look at that

10
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: and see where the Steelers placed on this thing. You

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: will start at the bottom, as we always do before

12
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: you do. I mean, when you look at last year's class,

13
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: only the Lions and Jets played more rookie snaps in

14
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers last year's class. And if I've seen several

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: people do these type of things, Steelers were like fifth

16
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: or sixth last year too, you know. So you compile

17
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: that two classes in a row where you get a

18
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: lot of experience and a lot of talent. Frankly, that's

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: the light you need to look at this. Yeah, who

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: are the up and comers in the organization? So according

21
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: to them, number thirty two was the Carolina Panthers. You

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: had Eawanu, who was a starter for them. That's a

23
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: little rough. I mean he turned into a pretty good

24
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: player as a starting left tackle. MTT coll didn't play.

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: They didn't They didn't have a second round pick. They

26
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: traded up like crazy for a too. So you also

27
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: had Brandon Smith. They didn't get a lot beyond. But

28
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: you've got a starting offensive alignement. All right, I'll take

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: a start. I mean, one draft yield you a really

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: good starting left tackle. You could do worse. Yeah, that's

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: a hard position. That was number thirty two. They didn't

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: get much out of the rest of their draft class

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: number thirty one, not surprisingly, and they might be last

34
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: if they hadn't had so many injuries and such. The

35
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: Rams my first round pick, no second round pick. This

36
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: is the norm for them. They had a third round pick,

37
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick, a fifth round pick, two six

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: and three sevenths. Not surprisingly. They didn't get a lot

39
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: out of those guys. No one thing that two things

40
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: really hurt the Rams is everyone knows that they don't

41
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: have first and second round picks, but they're fantastic at

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: having a lot of mid round picks. Because of the

43
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: comp game, and they have been hitting on him lately,

44
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: and then this year they got hit by injuries way

45
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: more than they have in previous years too, So it's

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: kind of a perfect storm of badness to make up

47
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: for those injuries. Number thirty the Cincinnati Bengals, Dax Hill,

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: there's not been what I thought he was gonna Dax

49
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: Hill didn't play a lot. Cam Taylor Britt played more

50
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: than him, um actually more at corner. Though he's now

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: the corner and they have corner injuries. He's gonna play

52
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: a lot this week. Then he took Zach Carter, the

53
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: defensive tackle at Florida in the third round, Cordarrell Wolson

54
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: he started all year, but he's right by default. Yeah,

55
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: Tyson Anderson the safety out of Toledo, And then in

56
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: the seventh round they took Jeffrey Gunter out of Coastal

57
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: Carolina defensive end. So not much there, and i'd rank

58
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: I'd rank Caroline ahead of them. Yeah, I'll take Awa

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: for all those. Yeah, And I still like Dax Hill,

60
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: but I expect a lot more from him as a rookie. Well. Yeah,

61
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: and they both of their starting safeties off right at

62
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: twenty nine. The Arizona Cardinals didn't have a first round pick,

63
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: that's Marcus Brown, so they took Trey McBride with their

64
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: first over. Didn't play much. Um Cameron Thomas, uh defensive

65
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: back to back defensive ends in the third round Cam

66
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: Thomas and my Gi Sanders. Just not a lot of Yeah,

67
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: there's no no impact there, not at all. Again, I'd

68
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: take the starting left tackle right right right over that group. Uh,

69
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: at was Washington? Okay, they took John Dawson in the

70
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: first round. He was hurt. He looked like he looks

71
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: like a really good player, but they didn't give him

72
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: a lot this year. Didn't get a ton out of

73
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: Frederian Mathis. But that's a tough up. I mean, that's

74
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: that's a strength of their team. Obviously taking him, they're

75
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: trying to keep a strength of strength. And Paine could

76
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: leave this year. Yeah, Brian Robinson, I mean he was bad. Yeah,

77
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, that worked out well for them. Uh.

78
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: Sam House started the regular season finale for them. There's

79
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: some reports that they want him to be the starter

80
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: next year, so they leave it. But not terrible, No,

81
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: not terrible. Daw Is gonna be a really good player. Yeah, seven.

82
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: The Eagles really took Jordan Davis in the first round. Yeah,

83
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't regret the Steelers not getting Jordan Davis. I mean,

84
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: he's a he's a good player, but his snap counts

85
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: were down even when he was healthy. I don't know

86
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: if he's ever gonna Like I saw, I saw a

87
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: rookie UM All Rookie team and Jordan Davis was on them. Like,

88
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: based on what he played seven snaps a game, it's

89
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: not a good d tackle class. Why didn't do much either,

90
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's gonna be a part time player probably.

91
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: They took him. Jurgen's a center in the second round.

92
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: Obviously that's for tomorrow. Tomorrow part of it because they're

93
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: a really good team and the Kobe Dean, I mean

94
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: he's playing, Yeah, Karen Johnson out of Kansasy inside linebacker.

95
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, there wasn't a lot of a lot of opportunity.

96
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,119
Speaker 1: But there's also no home runs there either. They should

97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: be below none of those guys watching the impact. At

98
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: twenty six, the Raiders ut have the first second round

99
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: pick so Farum was their first pick. He made that

100
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: All Rookie team as well, and he it was I mean,

101
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: I just watched him against the Steelers and watched him

102
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: a couple of games before they played the Steelers and

103
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: he was getting pushed around like crazy. Yeah. Um, Zamir

104
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: White didn't do anything. Their fourth round pick. They took

105
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: Neil Farrell and Matthew Butler in the middle rounds, fourth

106
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: and fifth rounds. Defensive tackles. They should be last. Uh

107
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: yeah there Mumford and Brittain Brown. Yeah they should be.

108
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean some defensive players played because their defense is

109
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: so bad, but they're not the Yeah, I don't I

110
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: don't see that that should be bottom. Minnesota comes in

111
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: at twenty five. They lost Louis Scene early, which yeah,

112
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: first round draft pick. They traded back a bunch of times.

113
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: They had two first him in the corner or they

114
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: had two early picks. They got Andrew Booth in the

115
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: second round. They got ed Ingram, the guard out of LSU.

116
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: He started all year. Yeah, he started all year for them. Um,

117
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: questionable results, but he started, but he started again. He

118
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: made that all rookie teams. He in uh partents um

119
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: you know, big deal. Uh yeah, not a lot of uh.

120
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay comes in at twenty four. They got Logan Hall.

121
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: They have a first round picks. He took Logan Hall

122
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: in the second, very early second. He was the first

123
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: pick in the second round, second, second, second, No, I'm

124
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: sure you're right. He was first, thirty third overall. They

125
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: took Luke Getcky, the offensive tackle in central Michigan. He's

126
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: played because people played Rashad White and the third round. Yeah,

127
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: it looks like that looks like okay, Kay Doughton in

128
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: the fourth round, it looks it's nice Hunter and sixth

129
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 1: overall Jake Karmata their punter matter in the fourth round.

130
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: Um Zion McCollum. Who yeah, he's yeah, so that's not

131
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: an awful draft. No, I don't think there's a star.

132
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: And we'll see what Hall turns into. He was kind

133
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: of blocked to. But you got some quality there, Yeah,

134
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: I mean they got they got contributions from the absolutely

135
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: guys like Otton in the mid rounds are valuable. Twenty

136
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: three is Miami. They only had four picks. They didn't

137
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: have a first round pick. They didn't have a second

138
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: round pick. Channing Tindall in the third round of a

139
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: hundred and two overall was the was their first pick

140
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: eric as a Comma and would have the kid out

141
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: of Texas Tech. The receiver his name, I can't pronounce

142
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: the wide receiver H Cameron Good in the seventh round

143
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: and Skyler Thompson in the seventh round. I guess they've

144
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: given him to credit for Skyler Thompson. He shouldn't be playing, right,

145
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: This should be last. That should be last. And there's

146
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: four dudes. They're also giving them credit for the rookie.

147
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeahbody picks on him on right. Okay, I didn't give

148
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: any credit to the undrafted free agents, and I thought

149
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about draft classes. I mean, if you have

150
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: a corn, you find a corner in the mix that

151
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: can play, that's all well and good. He's playing, but

152
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: but he's the snickers bar when he's out there, he's

153
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: the he's the sweet matchup that everybody's going after. They

154
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: should be last. Yeah, I mean Skyl Thompson does value

155
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: the fact that you traded all your picks for Tyreek Kill.

156
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: That doesn't factor in what we're doing here. We're talking

157
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: about your rookies, your rookie class. What they did and

158
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: not what they're gonna do at twenty two is the bills. Okay,

159
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: we got Cook, we got to get them in the

160
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: first round. Yeah. Yeah, Cook in the second round, Bernard

161
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: in the third round. He's another one of those linebackers

162
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: you could play inside a round. Yeah, I think they're

163
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: preparing for Evans to leave. Khalil Shaker Azaria, the punter

164
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: they had to release because of some Yeah, Christian Benford

165
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: another cornerback in the sick round. He played a lot

166
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 1: because of the injuries. Right, So it's okay. I think

167
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: Booth's kind of an incomplete I mean or not Booth Elum,

168
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: he looks like a good player, but I don't know

169
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: if he'll be a great one. Yeah. But the two

170
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: weapons they got Cooking, Shaki or Dees the Colts at

171
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: one we're next. Okay. I didn't have a first round

172
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: pick again. Second round they took Alec Pierce. Third round

173
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: they had two three three third round picks. He took

174
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: Jelanni Woods, Bernard, Raymond, Nick Cross. Okay. I think Woods

175
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: as a bright future, but you never know with young

176
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: tight ends. Raymond got thrown in a left tackle. Not

177
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: great results, you know, and Cross, I'm not. He also

178
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: got Rodney Thomas in the seventh round. My g had

179
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: a central Catholic and Yale. He played a lot for them. Yeah,

180
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: he's useful for them. It's not a bad class. Yeah,

181
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: but he's a seventh round pick. Rodney Thomas is the

182
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: cult's most valuable rookie of Wow. Okay, I mean I

183
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: can't fight that. Four interceptions, Yeah, I mean I didn't know.

184
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: I know he played a lot, right, Uh twenties the

185
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Again, no first round. This is a common

186
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: theme here. There were a lot of teams that didn't

187
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: have first round famous upcoming year. They're all grouped together

188
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: on the list. Right was their first round pick at

189
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: sixty four out of Oklahoma, which is why the Steelers

190
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: got ready. In the third round, they got Dulcitch. Okay,

191
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: that's that's like an autumn pick. That's quality. Fourth round,

192
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: they had two picks. They got the Marii Mathis and

193
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: uh he woma it was a Cary, Iowa state. Mathis

194
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: is the pit corner. He's he's a keeper. Three fifth

195
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: round picks, none of whom who did a whole lot. Um.

196
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: That's that's not a great class to class. I don't

197
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: give teams extra credit for not having it first. I'm

198
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: just talking about this should be what did you bring in? Yeah,

199
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Mathis was pretty good for them. Yeah, that's

200
00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: he's a keeper. But dulcitch get two guys Baltimore. Remember

201
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: whenever raving about the Ravens draft Ravens on this list,

202
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: they had Hamilton's a guy and I think lender Bombs

203
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: a guy. Hamilton's at fourteen, lender Bomba twenty five uh

204
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: at forty five, they took David as Jabosa seventy six

205
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: they got in the third round, they took Travis Jones.

206
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: He played, We liked them, but he didn't make a

207
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: huge impact impact. In the fourth round. They had oh boy,

208
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: four five, six fourth round picks, and they landed out

209
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: of those six fourth round picks Daniel Filele, Yuck, Jalen Lamar, Davis,

210
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: Charlie Cohler, Jordan's Stout, Isaiah Likely and Damarian Williams Likely

211
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: looks like a dude. But I mean, you picked that

212
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: many picks into what the top whatever the top? Yeah,

213
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: you got to hit more than that. And that's why

214
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: everybody was raving of him one draft day, you know

215
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: what I mean, But you're not. They're even drafted as

216
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: well as people think they drafted. Well, they had a

217
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: whole bunch of names you know, but dudes, and I

218
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: got guys I've heard of that's great, none of the

219
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: place when they play, Yeah, none of none of them

220
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: are not a single wide receiver on that group, right,

221
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean even if it was I know they were

222
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: supposedly interested in Austin, but if one of those fourth

223
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: rounders was Romeo Dubbs, like you could have been huge

224
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: for them this year. I mean the thing about guys

225
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: that were available, if they had drafted Dubbs, he would

226
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: have been their leading receiver, would initiate everyone was all

227
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: said and done, right, well, I mean leading wide receiver. Yeah. Yeah,

228
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: So that's two a f C North teams Below Steelers

229
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: at eighteen are the Saints. Now they had first round

230
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: draft picks, they should be higher on this list. Really,

231
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: you would think that they would be top five. Same

232
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: thing with the Ravens for that matter. Yeah, because he

233
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: had more coming in two first round draft picks. Because

234
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: we're not talking about what bang for your buck, We're

235
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: just talking about impact. Yeah right, right right? So a

236
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: Lave and Trevor Penning eleven and nineteen. A Lave, you

237
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: might win rookie year. He's great. Penning didn't play a

238
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: whole lot wasted, been very little. Yeah, and when he

239
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: did play it was because he was forced in there

240
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: because of injuries. Uh. And they got Alonte Taylor, the

241
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: safety at A Tennessee in the second round, had a

242
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: fifth round pick to Marco Jackson out of Appalachia State,

243
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: and in the sixth rounder Jordan Jackson, defensive tackle out

244
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: of air Force. So it's kind of a two class ye.

245
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: But they kind of knew that going when you do,

246
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: when you make that trade up to do that, that's

247
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: kind of what it is. Um Cleveland at seven. They

248
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: also got Shahid Right, does he have a rookie this year? Now?

249
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: Is he a second year guy? A second year guy?

250
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: I don't think he's mentioned there. I was wondering if

251
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: he was. H Yeah, he is undrafted. He was undraft

252
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: guys here didn't play until week six. Yeah, but maybe

253
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: him in a love repairing. Yeah. As seventeen of the Browns,

254
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: they didn't have a first round pick. They didn't have

255
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 1: a second round pick Shawn Watson, though they got the

256
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson's They had three third round picks. They got

257
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: Martin Emerson, Alex Wright, David Bell. In the fourth round,

258
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: they had two picks got Perry and Winfrey and Cade York.

259
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: In the fifth round. They took jam Room forward in

260
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: the sixth round, Michael Woods, the wide receiver out of Oklahoma,

261
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: and two picks. In the seventh round, they took Isaiah

262
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: Thomas out of Oklahoma defensive end, and then Dawson Deaton

263
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: center out of Texas Tech. Not much there. There's a

264
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: lot of picks. What's that like, ten picks or so.

265
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean some of those defensive the defensive guys kind

266
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: of played at a necessity over their head. Yeah, I

267
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: mean they should have red shirt and they were out

268
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: there more than they should. Yeah. I think Bell is

269
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: just a guy. He was a slot for much of

270
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: the year. I mean, there's there's no one on that

271
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: list I fear as a Steeler, you know, I'm looker like, well,

272
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: there's no there's no impact like linder Baum and Hamilton

273
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: are better than that whole class. Yeah, you know what

274
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean. So, yeah, I would have them lower. The

275
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: Chargers are at sixteen, by the way, that's now the

276
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: entire a f C North below the team. Sixteen is

277
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: the Chargers. They got Zion Johnson at seventeen. Overall, they

278
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: took J. T. Woods, in the third round. They took

279
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: Isaiah Spiller in the fourth round, Uhbania not my Jamari

280
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: Sailor in the sixth round. They may end up being

281
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: he's been thrown into left tackle and he's done okay

282
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of games. Uh just sir Taylor cornerback

283
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: at the Lake Forest. Not a great class. I mean

284
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: they're they're putting a lot of weight with Zion Johnson,

285
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: so pun intended. I mean you and said on that

286
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: rookie list, he was not one of the the rookie guards.

287
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: Maybe he should have been. I think he maybe he

288
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: doesn't look like the next Quintin Nelson, though, I mean

289
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine. We liked him. Lock him

290
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: out of school. But that's about it for that class.

291
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: H Yeah, they would be lower for me at fifteen

292
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: or the Giants. Thibodeau looks like a dude. The means

293
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: they feel struggled, but so did Andrew Thomas as a rookie,

294
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: and you know, tackle struggling doesn't really worry me. So

295
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: they took Tiboeaux five, Neil at seven. Then they took

296
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: one Dell Robinson at forty three. An incomplete grade. It

297
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: Josh Z do the guard out of North Carolina and

298
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: Round Cordery flo at the cornerback at of l S.

299
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: Both played a lot. They got Daniel Bellinger pick one twelve,

300
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: probably there starting tight end. Yeah. Yeah, Dane Belton out

301
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: of Iowa. Two picks after that, Michael McFadden d J.

302
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: Davison and the rest of it didn't playing a lot

303
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: of later picks, and they there's two early ones. I

304
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: think one Dell Robinson will be useful. Neil only Is

305
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: should get better. It's not a badass, but Michael McFadden

306
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: replaced take Crowder. That's a good building blocks first first

307
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: year coach Green Bay. Is it fourteen? They took the

308
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: two Georgia dudes on defense. Yeah, Quay Walker and Davante White,

309
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: both in the first round. Walker gets a lot of penalties,

310
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna be good. Why it was

311
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: very quiet. Yeah, I'm a Christian Watson fan and I

312
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: wasn't the draft day. I've come around on him, Kim Thirst.

313
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: They had three of the top thirty four picks. Better

314
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: have a really good You trade Davantae Adams for picks.

315
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,239
Speaker 1: You better get some picks to Kansas City, you know,

316
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: Sean Ryan the guard out of U. C. L A.

317
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: At two. They got Dabbs at one. Thirty two pick

318
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: Zach Tom at one. He's good, Yeah, yeah he was.

319
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: This is a weird body type if he's a tackle

320
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: guard center, but he's something. Uh just looking here at

321
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: the rest of it they get it's a pretty good class.

322
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: You had one more out of Wyatt. You know, maybe

323
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: that's coming. Atlanta was at thirteen. They got too offensive

324
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: pieces that are important. Yeah, they took Drake London it

325
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: eight overall, that better be a hit. I think it is.

326
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd rather have a Love and Wilson. But

327
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: they got Arnold Abuchette to thirty eight. He played a lot. Uh.

328
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: At fifty eight they took Troy Anderson. He played a

329
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: lot as well. Seventy four was Desmond Ritter. He's you're

330
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: starting quarterback down the stretch. He might be started next year,

331
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: and I think that's crazy talk. At eight too, they

332
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: took D'Angelo Malone, outside linebacker right at Western Kentucky. He

333
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: didn't do a ton, But in the fifth round they

334
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: get Tyler Algier. I think he's the number one next year. Yeah,

335
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think he'd be a superstar, but

336
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people compared him to James Conner. I

337
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: think that's who he is. Which he took Justin Schaefer

338
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: and John Fitzpatrick in the sixth round. So pretty good draft.

339
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: That's not a bad draft. Yeah, I mean, unlike say

340
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles, they had a lot more playing time opportunity,

341
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: and you go to a team that has nobody on

342
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: the roster, Well you're gonna see more from some of

343
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: these guys where you know, if they would have gotten

344
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: to Kobe Dean like Philadelphia did, he probably would have

345
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: played for it, or that he didn't play as much

346
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: of the Eagles. You know at twelve is San Francisco

347
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: Drake Jackson in the in the second and then have

348
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: a first round pick Drake Jackson and this is almost

349
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: exclusively Yeah, I don't know where i'd weigh them, but

350
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: they're winning games with the guy right now. I'm not

351
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: a believer in Purty, but I don't know where i'd

352
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: I don't know where I put the Niners on this

353
00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: list though, I mean, I don't think he's the next

354
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,239
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. We'll talk more, I guess on Friday went

355
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: preview games, but I have some doubts. At eleven were

356
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: the Cowboys Terrian Smith in the first round. He looks

357
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: for Tyler Smith, he looks really really good. Hin got

358
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: Sam Williams, Jalen Tilbert to get nothing. Jake Ferguson. Yeah,

359
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: I think Ferguson's gonna be Okay, Shultz is hitting free agency.

360
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: I bet Ferguson's the starter next year. You got Matt

361
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: Well let's go in the fifth round. You got Darren

362
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: Duran Bland in the sect in the fifth round, Damon

363
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: Clark in the fifth round, John Ridgeway in the fifth round.

364
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: They really didn't get it. I would just say this

365
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: is better than Carolinas, who is thirty two. But they

366
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: both basically got a stuff. Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah,

367
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that they should be that far apart. Yeah,

368
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. I mean, Duran Bland was

369
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: their starting nickelback. Yeah, I mean it's better than Carolina's,

370
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, but but not marketing. They both got a

371
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: stud left tackle and a little bit spots better. Right

372
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: right at ten are the Steve Obviously, obviously Pickett was

373
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback, George Pickens starting receiver. Leal talked a

374
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: lot about him. Last Sea didn't get to see much

375
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: account We didnt can see anything of Calvin Austin. We

376
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: saw him a training camp doesn't count. Connor Heyward, Mark

377
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: Robinson Christ a lot of com Yeah, it's a good group.

378
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: You may have a long term starting quarterback that's more important,

379
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: a long term starting left tackle. I'll be interested to

380
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 1: see what nine teams rank ahead of them based on that.

381
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: I know the Jets are gonna be one of them.

382
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: Seattle's will be one of them. Guys who got multiple stars.

383
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: Nine is New England. Nine is New England. Cole Strange,

384
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: Taekwon Thornton, Marcus Jones, Jack Jones, Pierce. They had a

385
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: bunch of picks, Kevin Harris, Sam Roberts, Chason Hines, and

386
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: Andrew Stupor. I love Marcus Jones. I think Strange is

387
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: going to be a high quality starting left tackle or

388
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: guard quarterback. Right. The rest of have a quarterback in

389
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: the star wards receiver as opposed to think they could

390
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: use George Pickens. Yeah, in New England, you know what

391
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they might use Kenny Pickett exactly exactly. And

392
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm up with any stock on Bailey's appy, you know, right,

393
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: now that that's not going to move the needle for me.

394
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: At eight is Chicago, Okay, they didn't have a first

395
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: round pick, I said, they gave theirs up for fields,

396
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: so they had two second round picks, Kyler Gordon and

397
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: Jakum Brisker. They look like good players. Vellis Jones in

398
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: the third round, who they got basically nothing out of

399
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: two fifth round picks, Brexton Jones, who started for that

400
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: I think he'll be a starting tackle, which is a

401
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: nice fine in the midround, and then Dominique Robinson in

402
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: the fifth round. Then they had three sixth round picks,

403
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: Zachary Thomas, Tristan Ebner, Doug Kramer. I'm not seeing it here.

404
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: In the seventh round, they had three picks j Tyree Carter,

405
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: another offensive lineman, Elijah Hicks, a safety, and the punter

406
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: Trenton Gill. I'm not seeing sure why that's ahead of

407
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: the Steelers or ahead of the right I mean, and

408
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: they're another team that I think Atlanta's group over there

409
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: without a do both at nothing in front of him.

410
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: And yeah, a lot of these guys aren't household names.

411
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: Where is there, Tyler, just because you started for the

412
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: worst team in the league doesn't make you a good

413
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: player in lost game after game after game. Yeah, I

414
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: don't see it. The Bears have they were the worst

415
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: team in the league. They've got the number one overall pick. Uh.

416
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: Detroit comes in at seven. That adds up. You had

417
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: two two top to top twel picks. They got very

418
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: little out of Williams. That's fine. Ye, two top twelve picks.

419
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: I can't see. That's a tough one. Yeah. Uh too

420
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: good Jamis Williamson or Jammes Jamison Williams. I'm having trouble

421
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: talking Josh Pascal Kirby, Joseph James Mitchell, Malcolm Rodriguez who

422
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: was St. James Houston who played and then Chase Lucas

423
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: in the seventh round. So that's where they should be.

424
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: Their two six round picks were big hits. Yeah, and

425
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: Rodriguez started for him, so yeah, they got some stuff

426
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: out of those. Although Rodriguez started for one of the

427
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: league's worst defenses, he wouldn't have started for everybody, right,

428
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: And I think Williams will be a star, but that

429
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 1: doesn't matter for this exercise. Yeah. Jacksonville comes in at six. Well,

430
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: they had the number one overall pick. Yeah, and it

431
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: looks like a hit, but he doesn't look like the

432
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: next Lawrence Taylor. They also had two first round picks.

433
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 1: That doesn't hurt either. Uh. So they got Trey Von

434
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: Walker and Devon Lloyd. Lloyd started out on fire and

435
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: then hit the wall. Hit the wall, and Movemo played

436
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: for them a fair amount of linebacker two. Yeah, in

437
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: fact replaced Lloyd. Yeah in many cases. So I don't

438
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: let you can give a full hit for that. Uh.

439
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: They got Luke Fortner in between those two picks in

440
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: the third round Snoop Connor, Gregory Jr. And Monterek Brown.

441
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: I'm not blowing away by that, blown away by that

442
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: the first overall picks. The talent, I mean, I wish

443
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: he was stealing a stud. No, I mean he's not

444
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: defensive Work of the Year, right, I mean we're really

445
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: in contention. Yeah, yeah, I'm not blown away with that. Uh.

446
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: At at five was Houston. Now they had the fifteen picks,

447
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: three of the top thirty seven, four distinctly and play

448
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: at four of the top forty four picks. Watson trade

449
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: and think you better be really good, and they got Stingley.

450
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: They got Kenyan Greene, who he was struggling Jalen Petree. Yeah. Uh,

451
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: John may Cha didn't play at all. No, he's got

452
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: a medical situation. Christian Harris at Damian Pierson, the fourth person,

453
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: Thomas Booker uh and Teagan Queen which rano tight end

454
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: of Oregon State and didn't make an impact in Austin

455
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: the coolest. I mean, another roster that's not hard to

456
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: crack for playing time. Yeah, I mean, I think Stingley

457
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 1: is going to be a really good player. But they

458
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: played a lot, a couple of two of them, and

459
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: he was hurt a lot. What do we basically saying

460
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: that Petree and Pierce the first round picks didn't give

461
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: a lot to him. No, they would be lower for

462
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: me too. At four the Tennessee Titans. Mm hmm he

463
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: got eighteen trail and Burke's who he played like half

464
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: the game. Uh. Roger McCreary in the second round. He

465
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: looks like a quality tough guy corner like we thought, yeah,

466
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: right right right on the undersize. Nicolas Petite free are

467
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: played a lot, but not well he's not Yeah, he's

468
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: not good. Malik Willis in the third round. I mean,

469
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how you grade that. Hassan Haskins he's

470
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: a backup running back the fourth round. Now they did

471
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: to get Chiga round, Kyle Phillips in the fifth round,

472
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: Theo Jackson in the sixth round, along with Chance Campbell.

473
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: What am I missing here? I mean, shouldn't they be

474
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: like eight team, Like that's what it looks like. Yeah,

475
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: we got a tight end in in a in, a

476
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: cornerback and maybe a wide wide receiver that and you're

477
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: not out of the woods. I don't get it on that,

478
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: um not seeing it. Kansas City, they had a bunch

479
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 1: of picks, two first rounders. They had three of the

480
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: four of the top sixty two picks. So in that

481
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: hall they got Trent McDuffie, George carl Off to Skymore,

482
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: Brian Cook. Nothing from sky More this year. The three

483
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: defensive players look promising karl Offtis came on late. But

484
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: none of them are. It's a bad defense, right, right, right,

485
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: none of them are stars. They took Leo Chanal in

486
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: the third round. They took in the fourth round, Yeah,

487
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: Joshua Williams. They got Darien Kinnard in the fifth round,

488
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: and then they had three seventh round picks. Jalen Watson

489
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: who played checks Isaiah Pachecko and the z Houston the

490
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: safety had a Marshall. That's not a bad it's not

491
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: a bad draft. But that's a lot of cards who

492
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: came to the table with you. I mean, I could

493
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: see a lot of that paying off a year from now.

494
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: You know, they went heavy on defense and really went

495
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: that direction, which you know, maybe they didn't get immediate

496
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: results from but could. But that's not what we're doing here.

497
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: The Jets come in at number two, as they should.

498
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: They had three first round picks, but four of the

499
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: top thirty six picks hit that and shame on you.

500
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: Uh So they got Amma Garner, Garrett Wilson's, Germaine Johnson,

501
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: Bruce Hall. Those are their top thirty six picks and phenomenal. Ye,

502
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: but that's what you should do if you have that many.

503
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: They may end up with offense and defensive rookie of

504
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: the year. Yeah. Then they took Jeremy Ruckard in the

505
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: third round, Max Mitchell in the fourth round, along with

506
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: Michael Clemens in the fourth round. That's a fourth player draft, really. Yeah,

507
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: but again, you had three and four of the top

508
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: thirty six picks. You better nail. Yeah, And that leaves

509
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: at number one, Seattle Seattle head three of the top

510
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: forty one picks, four of the top seventy two picks,

511
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: and not quite what the Jets had, but the out

512
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: of that they got Charles Cross in the first round.

513
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: They got boy A Mofe in the second round. They

514
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,959
Speaker 1: came back the next pick and took Ken Kenneth Walker

515
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: and then they got Abraham Lucas and it picks seventy

516
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: two in the third round. Yeah, I mean they got

517
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: two starting tackles, two starting corners where I think is

518
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a really good running back, and Mafe didn't

519
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: do much. Yeah, I mean we didn't even get to

520
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks. They took Kobe Bryant in the fourth round.

521
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: They took Treek Woolen in the fifth round. They also

522
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: got Tyreek Smith Bow Meltain, who had liked the Derek

523
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: Young in the seventh round. And oh, by the way,

524
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: this isn't what we're doing, but they have the Broncos

525
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: first round pick next is like six or something or

526
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: whatever it is, so they have a great young core. Yeah,

527
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's a I would have the Jets number one,

528
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: though more star power. It's more star power, but you

529
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: get two tackles in two corners. Two tackles and two corners,

530
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: very expensive positions. I said, you want to dre about

531
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: that last last say, man, you want to draft those guys?

532
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you lock them up, and you know, Walker

533
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: looks like he's a really good player. Like you got

534
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: very cheap at those very expensive positions for the next

535
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: at least four years. I remember I kind of got

536
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,239
Speaker 1: in a soapbox about this because everyone's killing Carol as

537
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: a drafter, and why are you trading for Jamal Adams

538
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: and you draft all these running backs? Oh that they

539
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: had a run. They're a really bad personnel moves. But

540
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: then everyone's like, you know, old school, old school coach

541
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: doesn't understand it. Interesting offensive line and running backs, right,

542
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: and like you kind have the tackles and corners. I mean,

543
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: those are the hardest things to get worked. This was

544
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: the what was I calling it the Noah's Art draft.

545
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: They had to they had to cors two heade dressers,

546
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: two corners, two tackles, receivers exactly. Yeah. Um, but Steelers

547
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: come in tent on that list. I might, I might

548
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: put them a little bit higher than that. They're they're

549
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: not quarterback they're not in Seattle, New York range there

550
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: because of the star power. But with those teams, maybe

551
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm wrong about party, but that's the only team I

552
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: know they've got to start in quarterback. Yeah, you know,

553
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not ready to I don't know that

554
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: he's a starter, right right, I'm not ready to say

555
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: that about Ritter or certainly not Willis or you know

556
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: that's kind of a big deal. You want to talk

557
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: about a cheap position, right right right, I start a quarterback,

558
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: starting wide receiver, yeah, amongst other stuff, and maybe a

559
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: starting defensive lineman next year. I mean, there's I wouldn't

560
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: put a lot of weight on what Leeut did this

561
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: year for this exercise. You know, maybe it's more of

562
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: a future thing. But you know the top two are

563
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: strong absolutely. And by the way, how about Jalen Warren? Right? Yeah,

564
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: he you know con factor in some of these other guys.

565
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: He's he's got account as well, and he was your

566
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: number two running back. Uh. You can uh subscribe now
