Thank goodness and thank goodness, David Hellman. 22 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: You were great all the way through. But hey, you're 23 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: at the table today and now we love David. He 24 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: just had more important things to do today, like interview 25 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: some guy that was nicknamed the Playmaker or whatever it 26 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: was back in the day, something like that had somebody 27 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: to talk to that was more important than we are. 28 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: But guys, you look at the Cowboys season down coming 29 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: to a close, and the Cowboys have settled into that 30 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: number ten pick, and it's not number four like we 31 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: thought it might have been earlier in the year, but 32 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: it actually ends up being number ten. You're still a 33 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: top ten pick for the first time since twenty sixteen. 34 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: But Bucky, how good of a spot is that for 35 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: the Cowboys whenever it comes to the number ten pick, 36 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: because they've had some they've had some success in the 37 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: top ten in the past. Yeah, you should have success 38 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 1: when you're picking in the top ten because that's really 39 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 1: the cream of the crop of each draft class. When 40 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: you think about the top ten and you think about 41 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: getting difference makers, game changers, and when the Cowboys have 42 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to selective that they've been able to 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: nail it. And so this year I think it's actually 44 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: fortunate for them because I think the needs and what 45 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: is available lines up with where they're picking. In terms 46 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: of the Cowboys, what their biggest needs are and where 47 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: the talent is, I think it matches up. So now 48 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: it's just a matter of determining which players are right 49 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: fit for the team and where they want to go. 50 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: Right Yeah, No, I absolutely agree with Bucky because you know, 51 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: we were kind of looking at if you had to say, 52 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 1: a top four or five pick. You know, if you're 53 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: looking for save, defensive help, do you feel comfortable picking 54 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: it right at that spot? I think initially we said, 55 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: know which you consider trading down, grabbing a pick or 56 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: two from somebody else? Could you go down to ten, eleven, twelve, 57 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: somebody right there? I think the Cowboys are in a 58 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: great spot right there. You know, offensive players, defensive players. 59 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: You'll have an opportunity to grab whatever direction you want 60 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: to go. And you know, if you still want to 61 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: potentially trade down again, I think you're in an absolute 62 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: wonderful spot there. Of course, scouts want to be as 63 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: high as you can on the board, But being in 64 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: the ten hole is not a bad thing, especially in 65 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: this draft, and I think we've talked about it before, 66 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: but really the only thing that you're messing out from 67 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: being maybe in the top five as to being at 68 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: ten as the options of where to go in the 69 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: draft and where you should fall and what you would 70 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: get in return and kind of the draft capital that 71 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: you can play around with there. But in terms of selecting, 72 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: this is right where you want to be. And if 73 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: you look at the Cowboys last six top ten selections, 74 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: five have made the Pro Bowl. Is Zekiel Elliott twenty sixteen. 75 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: More Clayborne is the only one that did not make 76 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl Tyrren Smith in twenty eleven, Terrence Newman, 77 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: Roy Williams, and Greg Ellis. That's the last six times 78 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 1: the Cowboys that picked him the top ten. They've also 79 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: never selected specifically with the tenth overall pick, but the 80 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: closest times they did was when they picked ninth with 81 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: Tyrant Smith and they picked eleventh with DeMarcus Ware. So 82 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: you've had some you've had some success around in that 83 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: area in the draft, and hopefully they can continue that 84 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: a little bit, But Bucky, you brought up a point 85 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: in our group message this week that kind of wanted 86 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: to hit a little bit. But Mike McCarthy was asked 87 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: earlier this week about the identity of this organization and 88 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: the identity of the Cowboys player personnel and kind of 89 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: where they're going from here, and he kind of gave 90 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: a non answer, didn't necessarily answer the question and kind 91 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: of kept it close to the chest. But how important 92 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: is that identity, Bucky, whenever it comes to drafting these 93 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: players and evaluating who you want on your roster and 94 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: who you're going to put in certain situations, Because at 95 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: least right now, this is where the full first full 96 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: off season that Mike McCarthy's going to have in terms 97 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: of trying to get into that moment, I think it's 98 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: very important. I think it's something that should be communicated, 99 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: communicated at all times, not only from coach to coach 100 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: and coach to personnel staff, but players should understand exactly 101 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: what this team is about, and who the players are 102 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: on this team and what court traits are necessary. And 103 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: we're not talking about position specific things, just hey, I 104 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: want a smart, fast, tough, physical football team, and the 105 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: players that play on this team have to exhibit those traits. 106 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: For Mike McCarthy to not be able to articulate it. 107 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: To me, it was troubling, particularly coming off Jalen Smith's 108 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: long rambling answer about the identity of the team and 109 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: all of that stuff. I just wonder if there is 110 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: alignment from top to bottom, and that's something that maybe 111 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: Brian can speak on having worked in the building. I 112 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: just don't know how you can go forward in terms 113 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: of acquiring players if you don't have a clear identity 114 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: for your team and for the individual players that you 115 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: want to bring up. Yeah, that's you know, your ap right, Bucky. 116 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: And you know, let's look at the teams that are 117 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: successful throughout you know. I always like to talk about 118 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: the Ravens, the Steelers, you know, Kansas City. Now look 119 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: what Buffalo's doing. There's clear identity of what their football 120 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: team is. Tennessee's another one. I just feel like though, 121 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: you know, Mike McCarthy comes from a program in Green 122 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: Bay where the head coach didn't have a lot of 123 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: say and what was going on. If we all remember 124 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: too well, Mike McCarthy said, hey, you know, give us 125 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: the players, we'll fit the scheme to the players we have. Well, 126 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: we'll see if that actually is the case, but yeah, 127 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, the teams that have continuity, 128 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: I think they drafted well under Jason Garrett because they 129 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: had an idea of what kind of player they wanted. 130 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: And if you look at last year's draft of the 131 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 1: Cowboys coaches coming in late having to set up playbooks 132 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, maybe the coaches weren't involved as 133 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: much with the Cowboys, and maybe Mike McCarthy. You know, 134 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: we'll see how much. You know, my experience of working 135 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: in the organization is the head coach carries a big 136 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: stick in that room. Whether you want to be like 137 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: Bill Parcels and beat people over the head with it, 138 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: or you want to be like Wade Phillips and Dave Campbell, 139 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: which is kind of sit back and let the scouts 140 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: do their job. So yeah, I think that they If 141 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy wants to be involved, he absolutely can, but 142 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: they need to understand what kind of players that these 143 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: coaches want and go forward from there. Because the outstanding 144 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: organizations that I mentioned, the Ravens, you know, the Chiefs, 145 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: the Steelers, they have a clear identity and a clear plan. 146 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: If you had to look at the Cowboys specifically, and 147 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: Bucky will start with you on this one, but if 148 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: you had to look at the Cowboys, what would their 149 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: identity be? Because I don't know. Mike McCarthy may not 150 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: have given that non answer just based off of keeping 151 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: it close to the test. He may he may not know. 152 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: He may not know what that identity is, at least 153 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: looking at as personnel. But what would you tab it 154 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: as as a team overall? You know, I don't know, 155 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: because it is a bit of a team in flux. 156 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: Like you know, we can criticize the previous coaching staff 157 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: and Jason Garrett or whatever. But I knew when I 158 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: turned on the TV, I knew exactly what I was 159 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: watching and what I was gonna get from the Dallas Cowboys. 160 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: I knew offensively they were gonna be a mash team 161 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: that was really driven by the running back play ash 162 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: and passes, and they had a level of sophistication and 163 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: that regard in terms of the big plays. And then 164 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: on defensives gonna be a hard playing unit that would 165 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: run from sideline to sideline and chase the ball and hunt. 166 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: And so when I look at this team, and because 167 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: like they kind of snickered at the notion Mike Nolan 168 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: talked about versatility and wanted to be able to do 169 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: more things and multiple than all that other stuff. I 170 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: kind of believe you have as symboled a team that's 171 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: kind of a jack of all trades, master of none. 172 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: And so I don't know, And I think it's really 173 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: important that you heard the players complain about the uncertainty 174 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: and not knowing. I think it's really really important that 175 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: the team, Mike McCarthy gets a clear definition of the 176 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: identity so that everyone in the organization knows and that 177 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: everyone can act accordingly when it comes to acquired personnel 178 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: and putting in things that mass the talent that is 179 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: now in the building. Yeah, and you know, to be 180 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: honest with you, guys, you know they're in the situation 181 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: right now where there might be some changes on this 182 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: defensive staff. And if you change the defensive coordinator, now 183 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: do you change the identity again? You know, you talk 184 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: about multiple the defense. We want to be a four 185 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: to three, we want to be a three to four. 186 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: We want to hybrid stuff. We want to cover this way. 187 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: You know, Bucky, you brought it up about the corner situation. Hey, 188 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: do you want guys that play off? You want to 189 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: play guys that play man? I mean, they've got to 190 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: figure those things out quickly if they're going to stick 191 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: with the current defensive staff. Okay, well, now you know 192 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: Taylor your needs that way. But if you're going to 193 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: go out and you're gonna draw this out and wait 194 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: and oh we need to talk to this guy and 195 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: all that and that, let's be honest, that's a little 196 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: bit of the cowboy way. Hey, let's just kind of way. 197 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: Let's see if the problem fixes itself. Let's you know 198 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: that that doesn't need you need to be proactive right now. 199 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: If you're going to lose, if you're going to lose 200 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: the opportunity to to have a you know, an identity 201 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: here and and not hire the right guy, then man, 202 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: that that's just that puts you further further back in 203 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: the behind the apol. Well, and how different is it 204 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: going to be from last year to this year? Specifically, 205 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: because when Mike McCarthy was hired, it seemed as if 206 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: Will McClay was the one that kind of took the 207 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: reins and said, I'm gonna get you some guys. I'm 208 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: gonna go, we're gonna draft best player available, We're gonna 209 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: scout these guys and then you'll listen to us. Is 210 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: that going to shift at all? Do you think, Brian, 211 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: Because I mean, now a year into things, Mike McCarthy 212 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: has a better idea maybe how he wants to build 213 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: that identity from a roster standpoint. And is Will McClay 214 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: going to have that same kind of say as he 215 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: did maybe last offseason. Yeah, I hope they do. You know, again, 216 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: I always and this is the selfish side of me 217 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: coming out that I do believe the scouts have a 218 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: responsibility to the team in a way of helping build 219 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: this roster and in a big way. You know, I'm 220 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: not going to call a third down defense. I'm not 221 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: going to call a goal line package. I'm not going 222 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: to do those things. You know, I'm not going to 223 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: step into the coaches area there. But let me focus 224 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: on my area. And anytime, you know, I worked in 225 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: an organization in Green Bay where Mike Homegrin said he 226 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: was back in the scouts, and you know, the scouts 227 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: are wrong sometimes, but I always feel like though they're 228 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: responsible for evaluating these players the whole entire year, and 229 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: if they have an idea where the coaches need to 230 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: get to go, well, then they can help more so 231 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: than a coach coming in. I mean, we look what 232 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli did to this team for four or five 233 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: years and the way that they the way that they 234 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: went away from players or went towards certain players. You know, 235 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: you can't have that. Yes, I want coach responsibility, but 236 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: I don't want it just overeating every single thing that 237 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: I do going forward as far as building this football team. 238 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: You know, Brian, I want to ask you this because 239 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: you talk about coaches and scouts. I wanted just from 240 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: an overall franchise philosophy, whether it's Jerry Jones or Stephen Jones, 241 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: hasn't been set down. This is a kind of team 242 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: that I want, you know. And then that way it 243 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: is easy because whoever the head of the football chain is, 244 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: they set the vision for the program. And so if 245 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: everyone understands what that is, it makes it easier for 246 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: the coaches and the scouts to understand this franchise is 247 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: about this. So when you name those franchises Baltimore, Pittsburgh, 248 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: those long time franchises where you know, if I tell you, ay, 249 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh still does a comeing town. You already know. Hey, guys, 250 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: put your big boy paths on. This is the other 251 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: play and it doesn't matter who the coach is. Yeah. No, 252 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, Bucky. I think that. And that's the 253 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: problem that you have with the Cowboys, I believe is 254 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: that you know Jerry Jones as the general manager. I'd 255 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: like to believe that he has his thoughts on what 256 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: kind of team he wants, but I think he allows 257 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: a lot of it to be Hey a head coach, guy, 258 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: what do you really want? What do you envision? How 259 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: can we help you kind of thing. I'm not saying 260 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: that as a general manager you have to beat your 261 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: head coach over the head with a stick, like I 262 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: said earlier, but I feel like you have to have 263 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: ability to say, Okay, this is what my guy wants, 264 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: this is what my guy needs. When I evaluate when 265 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: I look at my football team, we really lack this. 266 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: And I think as a general manager, director player personnel, 267 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: you've got to You've got to do everything in your 268 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: power to try and bring players in that are to 269 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: your vision and try and best match what's going on 270 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: with the head coach. But in this organization. Man, there's 271 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: a lot of well, what do you want to do? 272 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: What do you want to do? What do you want 273 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: to do? Instead of Hey, guys, we need to look 274 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: at it this way and push forward to try and 275 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: make that happen. That's why these two are the elder 276 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: statesman of the Draft Show. But guess what we've got. 277 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: We've got some more members of the Draft Show. And 278 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: that's the cool thing about twenty twenty is the fact 279 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: that we can just call up whoever and get them 280 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: to be a part of the show. So, hey, how 281 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: about that, Jeff Kavanaughs, here what I will have You know, 282 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: I was not invited, Kyle. I just heard that day 283 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: was gone, and I thought, and I thought, I thought, 284 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: you know what, you guys are gonna need somebody who's 285 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: incredibly reckless and irresponsible to go with Bucky and Brian. 286 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: So I volunteered and I texted everyone and I was like, hey, 287 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: let me in, let me in, and so here I am. 288 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: What's up, guys. I kept getting text messages and it 289 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: was from Jeff and it was from Chris and it 290 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: was like in the middle of the show, it was like, hey, 291 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: can we get do we need a fourth do we 292 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: need a fourth? I felt like we were playing pick 293 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: up basketball. Y're like maybe call of duty war Zone. 294 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: I don't even know. It was just like like, hey, 295 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: do we need a fourth? Can we run with four? 296 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: Let's do it. I'm glad to have you here, Jeff 297 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: and Jeff, we're kind of talking about the allocation of 298 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: where the power goes in terms of building an identity. 299 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: Is it the coaching staff, the scouting department at the 300 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: front office. From this Cowboys standpoint, I know you've got 301 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: kind of heard the last couple answers there. Do you 302 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: have an opinion on where that power is and how 303 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: it's going to kind of affect the draft going into 304 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: a Well, I guess I'm a wildcard here because I 305 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: think your identity is basically just your best players, like 306 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: to the Pittsburgh Steelers. For a long time, I remember 307 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: my favorite games to watch in the NFL were Steeler 308 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: raving games because I knew I was just going to 309 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: get people hitting each other in the mouth over and 310 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: over again. And it seemed like that lasted for a decade. 311 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: But like Pittsburgh drifted to an offensive team because that's 312 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: who their best players were, and now they kind of 313 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: got the defense going again. So I guess for me, 314 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: the identity of this team is Dak Prescott or the 315 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: identity of this team was that offensive line being able 316 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: to open holes and protect your quarterback. So I don't know. 317 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: I kind of struggle with things like identity because I 318 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: just think if you gathered me the best players, my 319 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: identity is going to be that I beat everybody. It's 320 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. Like you know, not necessarily, our identity 321 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: is Emmett Smith is going to carry this ball twenty 322 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: five times. Our identity is we're better than you and 323 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: you can't stop us. Yeah. I think from a philosophical 324 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: standpoint is Jeffrey would be if I told you a 325 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: play like a cowboy, what does that mean? Like a 326 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: swat level of being able to identify it? Like, what 327 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: does that mean? I mean, I want like a physical thing. 328 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: When we talk about the Ravens, play like a raven 329 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: is hard nose, tough, physical, high instincts. They play to 330 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: a certain standard. I just wonder with the Cowboys, who 331 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: has said, a this is what we're about, this is 332 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: who the players must have, these trades they must have 333 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: when they come into the building. I'd like to think 334 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: guys would want to play like Tank Lawrence when they 335 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: become a Cowboy, because I think if somebody like that 336 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: could be your identity would be great. But I'll be honest. 337 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: When you're thinking about the Cowboys, I consider their identity 338 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: to be linked to Jerry Jones, and I think his 339 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: identity is everybody. You know. You can build an individual 340 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: brand here. You can be incredibly popular. So if you 341 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: made me pick, like, who embodies the Cowboys identity, I 342 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: would say it's Jaalin Smith. I would say it's individual play, 343 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: individual brand, and that's the identity. And unfortunately that's one 344 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: of the hurdles you got to jump with the Cowboys. 345 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that right now. All right, it was 346 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: nice being with you guys today. I'll see it next time. 347 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: Then he hops off and rides into the sunset. Mister captain, 348 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: trade down, everybody. No, I don't disagree with what you're 349 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: saying by any means. I really don't. And I think 350 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: that identity maybe shifted a little bit last year when 351 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: it came to thinking about the draft, because Will McClay 352 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: had a bigger say in it, and like Bucky and 353 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 1: Brian were kind of alluding to a little bit earlier. 354 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: It's it's a little easier whenever you have those scouts 355 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: on top of things and the coaching staff in the 356 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: front office can kind of rely on them as opposed 357 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: to maybe taking the rains themselves. Now in terms of 358 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: the draft this year and kind of where the Cowboys 359 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: are and of course picking tenth, Brian, you said for 360 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: the show when we were just kind of chatting, that 361 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: you wish you wish they would have been a little 362 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: bit higher just for those options. That's kind of where 363 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: it is. But is there any player or position that 364 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys missed out on or may not have as 365 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: good of a chance at at ten than they would 366 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: have if they might have lost three or for their 367 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: last for instead of winning three of their last four. Well, 368 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: we all hope, and we all hope is speaking for 369 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: Cowboy fans that in fact that you now are in 370 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: the window where you can sign Dak Prescott, and to me, 371 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: ten is a little bit of a I think outside 372 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: if the quarterback is something that you needed, I kind 373 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: of feel like, but you're still in position where you 374 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: could trade up if you want to. But you've got 375 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: so many teams that are quarterback Needy, and you know, 376 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: with the Cowboys, if you don't sign your guy along term, 377 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: that's maybe something you missed out on right there. But 378 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: I think overall, I'm far more comfortable now. I think 379 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: there's to be a great player on that board. Smith 380 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: from Alabama, the wide receiver, I think could be a 381 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: great player. Pits from Florida could be a great player. 382 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: I'm far more comfortable taken Farley right there at ten. 383 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: You know, if you wanted Parsons, if that was a guy, 384 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: there's going to be some players I believe for the 385 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,479 Speaker 1: Cowboys right there at ten. I think the only thing 386 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: you missed out on being in the top at four 387 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: is if you had to legitimately go get the quarterback 388 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: because you didn't feel like that you could get your 389 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 1: guys signed long term. You know, Brian, you talk about that. 390 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: I think the bigger thing that would have happened if 391 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: you finished in the top five. You now have currency 392 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: and you change the leverage when it comes to the 393 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: negotiation with Dak Prescott. Now you can kind of put 394 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: out those smoke setting. I was like, hey, it doesn't matter, 395 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: We'll just take a quarterback and as long as like 396 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 1: justin fields continues to play like that. It now drives 397 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: the conversation because now you're talking about maybe four quarterbacks 398 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: going in the top five, and so the leverage changes 399 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: and it so it gives you out if the negotiation 400 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: doesn't go your way, you say, okay, cool, we'll just 401 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: find we're just on a young quarterback and away we go, 402 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: or we trade down and we get enough capital to 403 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: now go and feel a couple of different spots. So 404 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: you lose out on that opportunity, but I think it 405 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: better aligns with some of the more immediate needs of 406 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Add well, yeah, and real quick check before 407 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: I know you've got an opinion on this, I think 408 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: that you know Cincinnati is now in a position where 409 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: I believe they're at five where they're going to hold 410 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: the card to somebody trying to get up. Because Philadelphia 411 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: and Jeff and I do a show every week together 412 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: and we've talked about if you're the Eagles, you're looking 413 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: at a quarterback at six, you're absolutely looking at a 414 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 1: quarterback at six, and you know Cincinnati could have been 415 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: that team. If you want maybe the last quarterback, you 416 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: want the next best quarterback, that's five is the spot. 417 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: So if you were in that top five, to your point, Bucky, 418 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: you were going to have that ability to trade back 419 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: if you wanted to, or stand in there and make it. 420 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: And I guess what I'll do is I'll just kick 421 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: a question back to you guys like Bucky, because my 422 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: thought initially is if you want to know names that 423 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: you could have had at four or five and you 424 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: can't at ten, we don't know. Because I remember when 425 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: I used to do simulators, and we're doing mock drafts 426 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: last year. Anytime Ceedee Lamb made it to seventeen, I 427 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: would just on my YouTube or whatever. I would be like, 428 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: now we're going to restart this. Obviously that's not gonna happen, 429 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: and well, lo and behold it did. But I think 430 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: in theory, names that the Cowboys could have considered in 431 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: the top five that may not make it to ten. 432 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: Caleb Farley, Micah Parsons, so Penn State linebacker Caleb Farley, 433 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: maybe Patrick Certan. I think there could be names that 434 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: you would have considered that because you're now at ten, 435 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: don't make it there. There could be a corner or 436 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: two off the board. Michael Parsons could be off the board. 437 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: You could have two offensive tackles off the board. So 438 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: I do think there are names not guys that I 439 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: would be like, oh, I can't believe we didn't get 440 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: to be in the top five. But yeah, I think 441 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: some of those names absolutely could be gone when you 442 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: get on the clock. Yeah, I think. I think. I 443 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: think the bigger thing now the quarterback conversation. We think 444 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: about the teams at the top. So at the tip 445 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: you have Jackson's I was gonna take a quarterback, the 446 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: New York Jackson are gonna be in the mix, we 447 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: don't know, because the Miami Dolphins are the ultimate wildcard 448 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: when it comes to two and what they decide. Then 449 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: you have the Atlanta Falcons at four. So three of 450 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: the top five we know. You talk about the Eagles 451 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: being at six, and then behind them you have enough 452 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: teams that have the interest. And so if you are 453 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: in the top five and you're the guy boys, you 454 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: just talk about being able to really parlay that and 455 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: play other teams against one another to really maybe get 456 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: a big haul. But in terms of the players, the 457 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: players that will fall out of there, because we would 458 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: think that three maybe four quarterbacks and go a good 459 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: player is gonna fall to them. It's a matter of 460 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: are you comfortable pulling the trigger on a guy at 461 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,959 Speaker 1: the top ten? Does his great equate to where you're 462 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: gonna have to select him at well, I think the 463 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: MoCo's in front of you are probably interested in a quarterback. 464 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: So if Trevor Lawrence goes one, then you've got Zach 465 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: Wilson justin fields kind of in that mix for the 466 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: second and third quarterbacks taken, then maybe Trey Lance maybe 467 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: the fourth guy off the board. So there's a chance 468 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: for four quarterbacks to be off the board, So that 469 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: way you get what would that be the fifth or 470 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: sixth best non quarterback falling to you, and hopefully one 471 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: of those guys fits your need at corner or at linebacker, 472 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: like we said with Michael Parsons, potentially, I think Michael 473 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: Parsons might fit a little bit up there in the draft. 474 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: He would be one of the names, Jeff, that I 475 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: would agree with you on that wouldn't be there at ten, 476 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: though he might have been there a little bit early on, 477 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: maybe right after that. Five. Well, let's let's take let's 478 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: take a little vote here, who's the best defensive player 479 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 1: you guys have seen so far? Who's the best for me. 480 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. See that, because whoever, whoever that is, 481 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,479 Speaker 1: that's likely to be the first player taken, I'm probably 482 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: I think, well, I think we're all pretty good at this, 483 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: We're all pretty good at evaluating, and I would trust 484 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: anybody's opinion on this panel right now. If you said, hey, Brian, 485 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: I think that Parsons is the best defensive player. Oh, 486 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 1: by the way, Brian, I think Farley's the best defensive player. 487 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I would trust you guys to say that, 488 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: because but that's that's where you know. That's whoever, whoever 489 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: the first defensive player is, that's probably not the guy 490 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be on your board. That's not gonna be 491 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: whoever the second guy you say is, Oh, that guy 492 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: very well could be the guy that you have. You 493 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: have the chances Draft seven for me and I have 494 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: it's the most unique draft I can remember. At the top, 495 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: because if you're gonna tell me Micah Parsons is the 496 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: best defender in the class, I'll say, okay. If you 497 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: tell me Caleb Farley is the best defender, I'd be like, okay. 498 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: If you wanted to say certain, if you want to 499 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: tell me a Zizo, JILARI, the Georgia edge is the 500 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: best defender in this class. I'll listen to you. I 501 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: don't know, because there's no Ramsey, there's no Miles Garrett, 502 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: there's no Bosa that they don't even well, Jeff. I 503 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: was trying to I was trying to build you. I 504 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: was trying to build you up there, Jeff. And now 505 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: you're making me feel bad about selection. I mean, you 506 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 1: give me, give me one name, though I can't. I'm 507 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: not fine personally. If it was me, there's if it 508 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: had me, there's difference. If it was me, I would 509 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: say Farley that I would I have and I And 510 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: it's crazy to say this for a guy. Both guys 511 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: did not play. There's this still last year and now 512 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking which one do I want to roll? 513 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: If I'm the Cowboys, I think I'm rolling the dice 514 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: on Farley if you know over But to me, I 515 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: don't know whoever, And it might be the teams might say, 516 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: you know what, there's not a consensus number one defensive 517 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: player on that board, and all of a sudden, those 518 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 1: guys started going down, down, down down, and that you 519 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: never know. At ten, you might be sitting there with you. 520 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: Might be the team that picks the first defensive player. 521 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: Is what I'm saying. That that's it and that's a ten. Yeah, 522 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: and Brian, I think then the conversation and goes to 523 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: if we're having a debate, you talk about Kayleb Farley, 524 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: do I want to take Kayleb Farley? Do I want 525 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: to take Patrick Surtam because I've seen Patrick Curtan play 526 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: this year, Because some of these debates are going to 527 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: be decided, well, I've seen this guy this year. I 528 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: haven't seen this guy in a year. I don't know 529 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: if I can do it. And so this year is 530 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 1: unlike any that I've seen in terms of defense. I mean, 531 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: defense is so far behind the offensive players and the 532 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: skill players that are available that I think you have 533 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: to be very very careful with you the Cowboys, not 534 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: to reach and to really dig down deep to figure 535 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: out which defensive player you would want to take at ten. 536 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,239 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a this draft that could be 537 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: when when we look back three years from now, it 538 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: could be like the draft with the JJ Watt and 539 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: Smith they have like there's nine great players taken and 540 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: then Jacksonville took took Gabber, you know, and it's like, 541 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's like, yeah, everybody got a whole fame player, 542 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: but then you took gabber. You know. That's what can 543 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: happen here. Seriously, I mean it, you know, to me, 544 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: I would it's funny with all those with the defensive 545 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: players on the board and Slater, the offensive tackle from 546 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: Northwestern's there. I'm kind of go away to tackle. I 547 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: raised in my hand after I take a bite in 548 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: my turkey sandwich in the draft room and go, uh 549 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: does anybody like Slater? I like Slater Northwestern tackle? You know, 550 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's some questions, but because I can 551 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: say you might be the first you might be the 552 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: first team at ten that takes a defense four wide. 553 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: Maybe we're going Jalen Waddle, DeVante Smith, Kyle Pence, let's 554 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: go yeah. Oh man, there's I mean, and that's another thing. 555 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: As those wide receivers in the top ten Smith, I 556 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: mean Smith from Alabama. You're kidding me? There those guys there. 557 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: I can't wait. The Smith. The Smith conversation is one 558 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: that is going to be interesting because he scares me 559 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: a little bit. Wait, is weights he's one hundred and 560 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,439 Speaker 1: seventy five and four four or four eight four four 561 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: nine is fast? But is that fast enough to convince me? 562 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: The offset the skinny issue because when we think about it, 563 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: when was the last time a skinny wide receiver has 564 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: come in and dominate the league? Because when you take 565 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: him that high, that's what the expectation is. And I 566 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: just have these images of Tavon Austin all over again 567 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: and the debate like, hey, don't take don't take small 568 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: guys at the top of the board. I think, yeah, 569 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: I think the difference would be where to go get 570 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: him set up? Where to get muy. I think that's 571 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: so true. That's why I wanted to be on with 572 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 1: Brian and Bucky because I think, like I'm fundamentally opposed 573 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: to some of these ideas that it's like, well, I 574 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: haven't seen a lot of this, Like the short safety, 575 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: I'll take him, the short quarterback, I'll take him. I'll 576 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: take him. But yeah, it looks different. It looks different. 577 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: But if you're making a list of DeVante Smith's weaknesses, 578 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: what is the list? I think it's he's skinny, nice, 579 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: he's slight, he's slight. That's I think that there's no question, 580 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: no question, no question. Look, he's he's a fantastic prospect, 581 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: He's a fantastic college player. However, when I think about, Okay, 582 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: I got DeVante Smith lined up opposite Jalen Ramsey, how 583 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: do I feel about that matchup? Do I feel like 584 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to hold his own when people 585 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: put their hands on because Brian and Jeff, you know, 586 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,479 Speaker 1: the first thing that people are gonna do when he's 587 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: running free in space those first four games. Okay, let's 588 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: walk up and let's put our hands on him, and 589 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: does he have enough to withstand that? Down after down 590 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: after down ufter down. Now, the other thing would be 591 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: maybe he's Marvin Harrison. So yeah, I mean like like 592 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: that would be that that would be the thing. But 593 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: when you look at some of the other guys that 594 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: may have more like Jamar Chase and some of those 595 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: other guys you just have to balance as a top 596 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: ten pick, do I feel good about the skinny guy 597 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: taking him number one to be my number one receiver? Bucky, Bucky, 598 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: I didn't get to do the show with you last year. 599 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: What did you feel about the build of Ceedee Lamb 600 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: when you watched him the build? How he physically looked. 601 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: So it's funny. I think I likened Ceedee Lamb to 602 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: a more dynamic version of DeAndre Hopkins because I didn't 603 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: feel like Ceedee Lamb created like great separation as a 604 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: route runner. But I felt like he was a catch 605 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: and run specialist. You want to get the ball to 606 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: him and let him run because the best thing that 607 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: he did was either after the catch or went into 608 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: fifty fifty ball. And so that was the difference in 609 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: my mind between him and Jerry Judy. I felt like 610 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: Jerry Judy was more of the route runner, Ceedee Lamb 611 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: was more of the playmaker. And that was my recent 612 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: comp too, when you guys started talking about skinny white receivers. Now, 613 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: I know, Ceedee Lamb's a little bit, I guess, wider 614 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: than DeVante Smith, but overall, I mean, you look at 615 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: Cede Lamb out there, and he looks skinny. I mean 616 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: he's got that build where he's slender and he's shifty 617 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: and a playmaker with the ball in his hands. Now, 618 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: I want to keep talking about these measurables. I think 619 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: this is a conversation. We're gonna have it again. Kind 620 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: of in the third segment, of where does this fit? 621 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm glad Jeff Cavanalls on this show 622 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: because I think this is going to be interesting talking 623 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: about where players are physically challenged and how that kind 624 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: of affects him as opposed to where it did in 625 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: the past. It come drafted. But when we come back, 626 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: let's do some twitter on the twenty and we're gonna 627 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: go to the opposite side of the top ten. We 628 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: talked about some of the names that could fall. What 629 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: about the names that could jump to the Cowboys at 630 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: number ten when we return here on the Dallas Cowboys 631 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: dot Com Draft Show.

Now we're gonna start 679 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: things off from a question from Christian and I like 680 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: this because it kind of flip flops. What we talked 681 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: about in the first segment in terms of guys who 682 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 1: could fall in from the top ten to the tenth 683 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: overall pick. But are there any names that are not 684 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 1: being talked about right now for the Cowboys at ten 685 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: that could be selected there from maybe the backside of 686 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: that top ten. So I'm gonna take these names out 687 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: of the running, every one of the four quarterbacks, so Lance, Wilson, 688 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: Lawrence of course. And then we'll take all those quarterbacks 689 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: out of the mix. So I'm also gonna take Kyle Pitts, 690 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: Kayla Farley, Patrick's Artan Slater. There is all the offensive 691 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: tackles Seoul and Rousseau out of the mix as well. 692 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: So that's ten names across the board that have now 693 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: flattened away from the Cowboys. I want to find somebody 694 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: that's not been named there that could fall or it 695 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: could jump to the Cowboys. And we'll start with you, 696 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: Bucky Man. That's tough. You took away all the good players. 697 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, tell you we're all the good players 698 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: at the top of the thing. Um, guys, it's crazy, right, 699 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: and I'm ahead reach but yeah, yeah, I'm not. I'm 700 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: not in love with this player. But I can understand 701 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: how people are gonna fall in love with and I'm 702 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: gonna throw the name out and I don't want to 703 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: be tied to it, But Gregory Roussou is gonna be 704 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: a name that we talked about and the reason why 705 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna test like a freak. He's gonna test like 706 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 1: a free He's long, he has that production from that 707 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: one season. He hasn't played this year, and people are 708 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: going to imagine, particularly if the coaches are driving the process. 709 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: Coaches are going to say, man, I take this guy, 710 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: I can take him to the next level. Um being 711 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 1: a former high school receiver that made the transition, everyone 712 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: is going to gamble on the upside. And in a 713 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: year where you don't have certainty on defense, I just 714 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: believe that people could reach for pass rushes because they 715 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: coveted at a premium. And Jeff, I know you do 716 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: not like Rousseau because you and I have texted about 717 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: how we both do not like Russa. So tell me 718 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 1: why you don't like Rousseau and how that could be 719 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: the case you're trying to do. You're trying to pit 720 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: me against Buck to tear down the guy. He said, 721 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: but he told you straight a little bit either, Okay. Um, 722 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: so saying saying that I don't like Rousseau, I think 723 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: would make people think, oh, but would you pick him 724 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,879 Speaker 1: in the twenties. No, I'm want to be very clear here. 725 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: Rousseau goes in the fourth round. Okay, I want to 726 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: be very clear here. I don't I don't need a 727 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: two fifty pounds, six foot seven guy who lines up 728 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,839 Speaker 1: at nose tackle to run around guards. Um, I'm gonna 729 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,280 Speaker 1: throw out a very random name because I was working 730 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: through some offensive line yesterday. Because Kyle's making us reach. 731 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: This is the first this is the first line. The 732 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys have an offensive line that's awesome. You're making us reach. 733 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: Nobody wants this pick. Yes, Elijah vera Tucker at USC oh, 734 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: I think for you acle or guard, and I think 735 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: he could play it at a high up. So I'm 736 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: just gonna throw out a random offensive line name that 737 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: I think is going to be a first rounder, that 738 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: I think could have position versatility and is a good prospect. 739 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: So you took away, as Bucky said, you took away 740 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: the good players. So I'll go to this. I'm gonna 741 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 1: go to the slightly less good players, or I'll cheat 742 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 1: if Brian's not gonna say it, and I'll throw out 743 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: Jac Horne as well. Oh jeez, Jeff to me, how 744 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:40,240 Speaker 1: many names? How many? How many names are you gonna Kyle? 745 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,240 Speaker 1: How about a better control of the situation here. I'm sorry. 746 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: If I were in the same room, it would be 747 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: much more controlled. It's the back of the virtual Brian. 748 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Oh my gosh, Kyle, who who invited Jeff? Anyway? 749 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:57,720 Speaker 1: Who Jeff? This program? My god, I don't know. Jeff. 750 00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: That's a very good one, man, Jac Horne, I think 751 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 1: now and saying I'll also say this, we're gonna get 752 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: into measurables. But the Samuel kid from Florida State, I 753 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: know he's five ten, but there's some Yeah, there's gonna 754 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: be some people that're gonna fall in love with him. 755 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: But I'll give you one that somebody I think will 756 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,400 Speaker 1: fall in love with and it might not be the cowboys, 757 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 1: but he's going to come up the boards. Is Terence 758 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 1: Marshall from LSU the wide receiver. I have a feeling 759 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 1: that these people are now looking at these LSU wide 760 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: receivers and if you have two thousand nineteen tape but 761 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 1: watch He's two thousand and twenty tape before he left 762 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: the program, and people there's some questions, Hey, why did 763 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: you bail on the program at LSU. Hey, you know, 764 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 1: but I'll tell you what. You watch him in this 765 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,919 Speaker 1: tape that the six seven games that he played, and 766 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,720 Speaker 1: he is the only thing that LSU has on offense, 767 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: and they and teams know it, and he's still making plays. 768 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: I have a feeling with what happened with the kid 769 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: at Minnesota, Jamar Chase. People are gonna watch this tape 770 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: and Marshall is gonna be a riser on a lot 771 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,359 Speaker 1: of people's boards. Probably not for the Cowboys at ten, 772 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: but that's a guy to keep an eye on. In 773 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 1: Jeff's right about porn, and I'm glad he said that. 774 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 1: And I'm also glad he said about the USC guard tackle. 775 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: I think that was a really, really good get on 776 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: his part. I really do look look to piggyback on 777 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: both of you guys point. I absolutely agree Bara Tucker 778 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: as someone as of interest because everybody wants position versatility upfront. 779 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,359 Speaker 1: You can't get enough guys that can do a bunch 780 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: of different things, particularly if you're the Cowboys and you're 781 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: looking at what you have and Leall Collins and Tyrn 782 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: Smith and just being able to reshuffle the deck. If 783 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:48,439 Speaker 1: Neeby that would certainly work. Terence Marshall is interesting because 784 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 1: I want to say he was a number one receiver 785 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: when he came out of high school and have him 786 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 1: watched him when he was high school as some of 787 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: these events, like, he has everything that you look for 788 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: in terms of the size, the athleticism, the route running, 789 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: ability to skill, and don't underestimate what Justin Jefferson's breakout 790 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 1: is going to do for the LSU Y receivers. It's 791 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: going to change how everyone looks. And even though we 792 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: say this as scouts, don't scout the helmet, you're gonna 793 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 1: look at what Justin Jefferson was able to do, and 794 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: you're going to look at him play alongside Jamarches and Marston. 795 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: You'd be like, you know what, Yeah, this guy can 796 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: do it. These other guys can also do it. To 797 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,759 Speaker 1: your point, Bucky, I mean, I know Jeff and I 798 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: have sat down and watch tape for seven years together 799 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: and I always it's always like you're supposed to be 800 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,760 Speaker 1: watching this guy, but then you end up watching somebody 801 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: else guy, and Jeff goes, hey, who is this? Who 802 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: is this number seven? That what you know? Or who 803 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: is this number whatever? And you're you're supposed to be 804 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,800 Speaker 1: watching like an offensive tackle, but then all of a sudden, 805 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 1: this number seven is catching every single ball and now 806 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,879 Speaker 1: you're going, oh, what years you at school? And then 807 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,359 Speaker 1: you make that mental note, Bucky. You and I've sat 808 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 1: in those rooms. We've sat in those draft rooms and 809 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,360 Speaker 1: somebody brings up a name and we're like, I hate 810 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 1: this player, but what you know I'm gonna do. I'm 811 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: gonna watch this other guy is what I'm gonna Dante Smith, 812 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: We all Dote Smith when we were watching. When you're 813 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: watching Rugs and you're watching absolutely a sweat. Every play 814 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: is being made by the skinny kid. That's neither one 815 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 1: of the players I'm watching, and I'm like, why isn't 816 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: this new declaring he's the best one? Yeah? Alabama stupid 817 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: the fact that they had Judy and Leave in the 818 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: first round and the ones in this year's draft to 819 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: me are better. They're better than Judy and Rugs. It's 820 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: stupid what's going on in Alabama. That's the great thing. 821 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: When when that's a great thing, about Kat when he 822 00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,959 Speaker 1: was watching take Kat was my go to guy, Like Kat, 823 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,359 Speaker 1: what years this kid that were that were that I'm 824 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: watching here right, what year's that kid? Katie's like, Oh, 825 00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: he's only a sophomore process Okay, mental note, mental note 826 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: next year. Yeah. Brian also wants to know their hometown 827 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: for some reason. Hello like k T versus kid from 828 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 1: Hey you want Lucky Day, Jeff, You want to know 829 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 1: that because there's certain there's certain places in the country 830 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: that are Florida Bill played Florida Yell City will beat 831 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: the seven five seven if you go to the Tide 832 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: Water region in Virginia, Michael Vick and new Smith like, 833 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 1: there's there's something in the water. And so you want 834 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 1: to know those areas because look, you just find, you 835 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: just find guys. They have a way of just KYD 836 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: give him one of those towns. Brian be like, uh huh, 837 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: thought he might be, thought he might be. I knew 838 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: it exactly straight off the dome. But I agree. I 839 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 1: like Terrence Marshall Junior. I like him a lot, Brian, 840 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 1: and I think I put him right there. And the 841 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: kind of that second tier of wide receivers trying to 842 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,800 Speaker 1: innch into the first tier right there with maybe like 843 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 1: a Rashad Bateman from Minnesota. Good player, that's a really 844 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 1: good player. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I disagree with that. Actually, 845 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't disagree with Tony Beanery. I think I think 846 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: Marshall's right there with Tony though. That's how good I 847 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: think he's been over the last couple of months. Now. 848 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 1: This comes this question comes from Connor Liftsa on Twitter, who, 849 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: of course is a big draft not I love following 850 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 1: his stuff at Connor NFL Draft on Twitter. He's fantastic. 851 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: So he asked us a really good question about Michael Parsons. 852 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: He said, Michael Parsons as a pure linebacker at the 853 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,720 Speaker 1: tenth overall pick is a no bueno for him anyways, 854 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 1: But what if they draft him to rush the passer 855 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 1: for say, thirty to forty percent of his snaps? Would 856 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,439 Speaker 1: that make you feel better about the value of taking 857 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 1: the linebacker at the tenth overall pick. That could also 858 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 1: be intriguing as an edge rusher. Brian, Yeah, I mean 859 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: Bucky mentioned about the versatility and stuff like that, and man, 860 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: I was just for that size, you know, and he's 861 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: freakish how big he really is? I mean I was 862 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:04,280 Speaker 1: watching speaking to Freakis Xavian Collins from Tulsa. That's another 863 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 1: freakish guy to watch when it comes to these linebackers 864 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But I think the thing with 865 00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,440 Speaker 1: I think the things with Parsons that that makes him, 866 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 1: uh you know that this intriguing is the size. But 867 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: I'm also thinking about, you know, the rush, and he's right, 868 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 1: and I think when you you you know, the one 869 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,839 Speaker 1: thing you want is you want some stoutness. You want 870 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 1: that ability to hold up, you want that ability to 871 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,360 Speaker 1: be physical. And you know, this guy can make some 872 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: impressive plays. He really can. But there's that scares me 873 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 1: to death, those stretches of games where you're thinking, man, 874 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 1: just go dominate that Purdue guy, Go dominate that Indiana guy. Go. 875 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,960 Speaker 1: You know, and he's just not you know, it's just 876 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: not always there for him. But as a pass rusher, 877 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I mean, because what he is, that 878 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,720 Speaker 1: power enables him when he has to take on guards, 879 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 1: when he has to take on backs, he could just 880 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 1: over power people to get to the quarterback and affect 881 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 1: the pocket. So and I think he can finish. I 882 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,720 Speaker 1: think there's some things that he does as a finisher 883 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: that are really really good. I just wish at sixty three, 884 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,800 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty four pounds that I saw it 885 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,320 Speaker 1: like every single play. He wears a number of LaVar 886 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 1: Arrington back in the day at number eleven. That was 887 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 1: a finisher. That wasn't every down sucker right there, And 888 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 1: so i'd see that eleven at Penn State uniform. I'm thinking, Oh, 889 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 1: he's not LaVar Arrington. And you know, and here I am. 890 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: I have to pick him probably in the top ten 891 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 1: to get him. You know, I'm gonna say this, Brian, 892 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 1: and I'm probably too close to the kid because I've 893 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 1: known him since high school. One. He was a defensive 894 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 1: end in high school and so he was more natural, 895 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 1: I would say, with his hand in the dirt, and 896 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 1: so he's learned how to play linebacker. The only thing 897 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 1: that ever scares me about Michael Parsons is I would 898 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,800 Speaker 1: say the level of immaturity. And so some of the 899 00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:01,680 Speaker 1: inconsistency is due to the immature. And I just don't 900 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 1: know if that light comes on as a pro. And 901 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: so when I think of a top ten pick and 902 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 1: we're talking about checking off all the boxes, I think 903 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 1: you have to examine the football character and just make sure, 904 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 1: particularly given it, I don't want to put this on them, 905 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,399 Speaker 1: particularly given the Dwayne Haskins situation and how they played 906 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 1: out in Washington. You just want to make sure that 907 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,399 Speaker 1: the guy you're bringing in he is going to play 908 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 1: to the standard. Because he gets to the game and 909 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,320 Speaker 1: he's ready to play to the standard. He's not distracted 910 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 1: by life. Well it congratulations, Bucky, you just killed the 911 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 1: kid in the eyes of all cowboy fans. So congratulations. Yeah, yeah, everybody. 912 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 1: Bucky just put the kid in the headline. And you know, hey, 913 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,919 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, but yeah, but when you hear those things, 914 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,960 Speaker 1: when you talk about taking a guy that high, you 915 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,879 Speaker 1: want you want everything to be in line. You don't 916 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,120 Speaker 1: want those questions. Yeah, the tape is good, but if 917 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: you're telling me there's immaturity things, you know, that's that's 918 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: just what you what you can read. I think that's 919 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:08,800 Speaker 1: the thing. I think that's the thing that you have 920 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:13,080 Speaker 1: to investigate. Like we talk about at top ten, you 921 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 1: want to make sure we get it right. So we're 922 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:16,359 Speaker 1: trying to mitigate all the risk, and so you want 923 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: to make sure that your guys love it. And so 924 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 1: if you come from a place where if you're gonna 925 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 1: take an off the ball linebacker, particularly that huh you're thinking, 926 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 1: I want someone that is like Luke Keekley in terms 927 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 1: of the maturity or the way that they get it, 928 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,840 Speaker 1: or I mean even like Sean Lee in terms of 929 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,360 Speaker 1: just a maturity part of it. That guy has to 930 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 1: come in because if he's coming in, he's probably coming 931 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,400 Speaker 1: into supplant Jaylen Smith and the love hate relationship that 932 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans have with Jaylen Smith? Are you trying to 933 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,720 Speaker 1: replace him with someone who could potentially be like Jaylen 934 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 1: Smith in terms of that thing, like, man, does he 935 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 1: love it? Does he make plays? Does he feel like 936 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 1: he's Hollywood Henderson? Or is he like what what are 937 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,880 Speaker 1: we getting in the building? Well? In Parsonsincent alone in 938 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,920 Speaker 1: that draft, even on the deep intub side of the football, 939 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 1: I think with some of those issues in twenty twenty 940 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,880 Speaker 1: kind of it gives you an odd look at how 941 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:10,319 Speaker 1: they kind of affect these prospects and how they deal 942 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,439 Speaker 1: with those off the field issues. One of the guys 943 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 1: I watched yesterday, I really liked his tape, Dave and 944 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,120 Speaker 1: Nixon out of Iowa, the defensive tackle. I really liked 945 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,759 Speaker 1: this tape a lot, but from a couple of people 946 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 1: that I had texted about it, that had kind of 947 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 1: talked to some scouts, they have issues or at least 948 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,359 Speaker 1: questions around his maturity. And this is the Big Ten 949 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,520 Speaker 1: defensive player of the year and somebody who put up 950 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,279 Speaker 1: a ton of production. But just that that mindset and 951 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 1: that drive. It's something that I know teams are especially 952 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,880 Speaker 1: looking for because maybe the Dwayne Haskins situation, because of 953 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,359 Speaker 1: the mental toughness that took to get through the twenty 954 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,480 Speaker 1: twenty season. I think there's a lot of different factors 955 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 1: that play into that. Okay, so we got to take 956 00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 1: our second break here on the Draft Show. When we 957 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: come back, I want to have a quick conversation about 958 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 1: those measurables.

Maybe we'll see when we 961 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 1: come back here on the Dallas Cowboys dot Com Draft Show, 962 00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 1: We're back in a tasty treat that's sweeping airwaves and 963 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 1: taste buds.

But it's 1008 00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 1: exciting to be along with you guys. And we had 1009 00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,319 Speaker 1: this conversation minimally last week and I wanted to kind 1010 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,600 Speaker 1: of revisit it, and we even started kind of talking 1011 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,879 Speaker 1: about it in the first segment. But how far has 1012 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,799 Speaker 1: the league gone away from looking at the measurables, looking 1013 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 1: at the physicalities and the freaks that are coming out 1014 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:22,760 Speaker 1: of the draft in terms of just the game changing 1015 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: type of prospects when it comes to their physical abilities, 1016 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,680 Speaker 1: and are there going to be guys that are physically 1017 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,200 Speaker 1: challenged taken high like maybe Kyler Murray who was picked 1018 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 1: number one overall offensively, but then there was maybe an 1019 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:37,840 Speaker 1: Antoine Winfield junior who was one of the better defensive 1020 00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 1: rookies this season in the NFL. Bucky, how far is 1021 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:46,399 Speaker 1: the league going away from these physical attributes and these 1022 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 1: measurables whenever they come to their draft evaluations. You know, 1023 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,319 Speaker 1: it really depends. I think as the scouting world has 1024 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,160 Speaker 1: gotten younger, I think you have guys who have gone 1025 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,800 Speaker 1: away from maybe some of those traditional norms when it 1026 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 1: comes to certain positions. But part of the reason why 1027 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,920 Speaker 1: the measurables are the measurables is because you're trying to 1028 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 1: minimize the risk when it comes to drafting players. Like 1029 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,520 Speaker 1: there's a reason why there's been a long history of 1030 00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 1: certain guys that measure and weigh a certain thing, that 1031 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,279 Speaker 1: have played for a long time in the league, and 1032 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,600 Speaker 1: so you subscribe to that. So even though you may 1033 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,240 Speaker 1: miss out on a few gems, overall, the odds suggest 1034 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 1: that you're going to get it right because they checked 1035 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 1: off the boxes. That said, if someone doesn't check off 1036 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 1: the boxes and height, weight, speed or those things, they 1037 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,000 Speaker 1: better have a superpower because the only way that you're 1038 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,120 Speaker 1: going to be able to let those guys come in 1039 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,520 Speaker 1: they have to have extraordinary traits in another area. And 1040 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,839 Speaker 1: so when you talk about it, Cala Murray, Cala Murray 1041 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,360 Speaker 1: may be short, but his superpower was his speed, quickness, 1042 00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,799 Speaker 1: and his ability to make plays. Baker Mayfield was more 1043 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,520 Speaker 1: of the anomaly because he didn't have any of those 1044 00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 1: superpowered traits and was taking number one overall. But typically 1045 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 1: you have to have a superpower to go at the 1046 00:53:54,520 --> 00:54:00,160 Speaker 1: top of the board, right. Yeah, I'll tell you what though, Buck, 1047 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 1: he hit the nail on the head. John Dorsey took 1048 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,120 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield because he believed that Baker Mayfield could could 1049 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:11,200 Speaker 1: command the locker room. That's why he he he liked 1050 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,759 Speaker 1: the swagger of Baker Mayfield is why that pick was made. 1051 00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:18,960 Speaker 1: He felt like that Baker's teammates would gravitate towards him, 1052 00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,759 Speaker 1: would play for would run through the wall for him. 1053 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:26,000 Speaker 1: So you know that's there's certain beliefs. But Bucky's also 1054 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:30,960 Speaker 1: right about these new age general managers. You know, they 1055 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,320 Speaker 1: don't look at things like the old the Ron Wolves 1056 00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,760 Speaker 1: and the Bill Polians and the Al Davises and those people. 1057 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,279 Speaker 1: It's a different era of general managers. I mean I've 1058 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,120 Speaker 1: seen the list, you know, Bucky works in the NFL network. 1059 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,720 Speaker 1: I see the list of general managers that are interviewed 1060 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,800 Speaker 1: for these jobs, and I'm going, who who, Who's that? 1061 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 1: But that's what's going to happen. And this group is 1062 00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 1: going to change, and they're going to draft players differently. 1063 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 1: They're added to it's about players are going to be differently. 1064 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:06,080 Speaker 1: They might believe in all the metrics and things like that, 1065 00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,200 Speaker 1: but man, it's like they'll just take guys and it 1066 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,880 Speaker 1: doesn't matter height, weight, speed, you know. And I and 1067 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,000 Speaker 1: for the for the for the most part, I like 1068 00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:18,840 Speaker 1: to see that because I'm just gonna say, in this 1069 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,640 Speaker 1: draft so far, I've seen a couple of players I 1070 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:25,719 Speaker 1: mentioned Samuel from Florida State. Rondel Moore is another one 1071 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 1: from Purdum that's five nine eighty. I watch him play 1072 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,759 Speaker 1: and I'm going, holy geez, you know, wow, Okay, I 1073 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,839 Speaker 1: see it. You know, maybe not, you know, we'll see 1074 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:39,239 Speaker 1: where he gets in the draft and stuff. But there 1075 00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:42,320 Speaker 1: are some guys that they could really get your attention 1076 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,480 Speaker 1: that that don't have ideal measurables, but they have, like 1077 00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:49,120 Speaker 1: Bucky's talking about, that superpower that makes them different than 1078 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 1: everybody else, and some of those measurables are incredibly important. 1079 00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:57,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I remember, you know, I think until it 1080 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:01,879 Speaker 1: burns you personally, you can ignore or what other people 1081 00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,960 Speaker 1: try to tell you. Because, for instance, the corner who 1082 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,960 Speaker 1: runs four six or worse. To Bucky's point, you know, 1083 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:09,640 Speaker 1: a lot of teams aren't trying to pick a slow 1084 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,200 Speaker 1: corner because you're like, all right, how many great ones 1085 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,400 Speaker 1: have there been? And somebody pulls out a spreadsheet of 1086 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,560 Speaker 1: all the corners ever drafted that ran a four six 1087 00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,280 Speaker 1: and they're like, well we found two, and you're like, okay, 1088 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,400 Speaker 1: so we should avoid that risk, and it's like, yes, 1089 00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:23,920 Speaker 1: now we also were going to miss Josh Norman. Sorry, 1090 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,680 Speaker 1: but we weren't willing to take that risk. And it 1091 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 1: burned me when I liked Tease Tabor and he ran 1092 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 1: a bad forty. Turned out he couldn't play in the league. 1093 00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:36,439 Speaker 1: So then Cameron Danceler. I watched Cameron Danceler cover Jamar Chase, 1094 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,759 Speaker 1: and I'm like, first round. Then he ran in the 1095 00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,320 Speaker 1: four sixes and I said end of the second and 1096 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 1: I moved him just off a forty time. So you know, 1097 00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,080 Speaker 1: there's a reason for a lot of these things. I 1098 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,239 Speaker 1: think some of the ones that I wouldn't worry about 1099 00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:52,120 Speaker 1: as much are basically the height and the weight. I 1100 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,760 Speaker 1: understand why you want a three cone time, I understand 1101 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,839 Speaker 1: why a corner's got to run fast, But if you're 1102 00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:02,399 Speaker 1: talking about weight or height in some cases, I think 1103 00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,239 Speaker 1: those are the ones I would push back against the 1104 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,279 Speaker 1: most Well how about that? About this? If you watch 1105 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:11,160 Speaker 1: Rashaan Slater out of Northwestern the tackle, everybody will tell 1106 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,839 Speaker 1: you he's got short arms, and I'm watching it block 1107 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,080 Speaker 1: Chase Young, and Chase Young they have to move him 1108 00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:17,800 Speaker 1: to the other side of the field to get him 1109 00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,160 Speaker 1: away from Slater. You know, they're saying, people say, oh, 1110 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:24,480 Speaker 1: he's got short arms, short arms. Yeah, but he's blocking 1111 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 1: the best player in the country right now. You know, 1112 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 1: I mean, what are we? What are we doing? Here 1113 00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 1: are we? And sometimes you've become a slave to that 1114 00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 1: line of thinking, and you know it it'll, it'll, it'll, 1115 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 1: it'll take you the wrong direction a lot of the 1116 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 1: times though, yeah you know, yeah, no, but I would say, 1117 00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,440 Speaker 1: like cal like outside of this, like in theory, what 1118 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 1: we're doing is a beauty pageant, right, And so if 1119 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 1: we think about the first round them getting the crown 1120 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,320 Speaker 1: and Tierra, you just want to check off the boxes 1121 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,320 Speaker 1: to make sure. And so it's not like, oh I 1122 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 1: don't like a player because they don't up all those attributes? 1123 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 1: Is okay? Is this a first round player? Because with 1124 00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 1: your general managers, you're going through the checklist and you're 1125 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,439 Speaker 1: trying to figure out and approximate. Okay, where's the risk 1126 00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,400 Speaker 1: reward factor? Is this more of a second round player 1127 00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 1: based on a I like everything, but he doesn't have this, 1128 00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,920 Speaker 1: And so it's just that in a perfect world, you 1129 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,680 Speaker 1: want your first round pick to really be a superhero 1130 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 1: that can leap tall builders in a single bound, but 1131 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't always happen. Yeah, you want your you want that, 1132 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: like Buggy's talking about, you want your beauty patchet to 1133 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,320 Speaker 1: be in the top ten one of the finalists. You 1134 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,680 Speaker 1: don't want them to be like doing the number at 1135 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,560 Speaker 1: the end of the night. You know where the other 1136 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,920 Speaker 1: authorty girls are kind of doing some numbers. Thank you 1137 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,160 Speaker 1: for being in the patchet. You want Miss you want 1138 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:48,959 Speaker 1: Miss Georgia, Miss Texas, Miss California.

Yeah, 1140 00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,560 Speaker 1: I don't even know anything about patchets, so I don't 1141 00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,840 Speaker 1: know if Hey, if you pick you pick miss if 1142 00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,520 Speaker 1: you picked Miss Trinidad Tobago in your top ten, you're 1143 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,760 Speaker 1: gonna win the pool.

Uh, real quickly, we only 1145 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,520 Speaker 1: have a couple of minutes here, but I want to 1146 00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,640 Speaker 1: I want you each to give me a name that 1147 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:17,560 Speaker 1: fits into that category where the measurables aren't necessarily living 1148 00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,240 Speaker 1: up to the tape, and where you look at the 1149 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,120 Speaker 1: tape and you say, hey, he's a baller. The productions there, 1150 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,240 Speaker 1: the tape is there, but he's not necessarily first round 1151 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:28,800 Speaker 1: because of blank. I want to I want to know 1152 00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 1: a player from each one of those guys. From you, 1153 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,280 Speaker 1: Jeff will start with you. Well, yeah, Gregory Rousseau. We 1154 00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:38,400 Speaker 1: already did this, okay, Yeah, yeah, Gregory Russeau is tall, 1155 00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 1: and he's long, and he might run a good forty 1156 00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,240 Speaker 1: and he might test well athletically, and he had eighteen 1157 00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,440 Speaker 1: sacks in a single season against decent competition. What's not 1158 00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,440 Speaker 1: to like? And I think I just I watched that 1159 00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:51,439 Speaker 1: tape and I came away from it going then ain't 1160 00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 1: a first round player, And I have no idea why 1161 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:58,680 Speaker 1: people are talking about him in the top ten. I'm 1162 00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:00,720 Speaker 1: gonna gonna be the positive because I felt like I 1163 01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 1: was negative early with Mica. So I'm gonna go up. 1164 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a name. Aman Ross Saint Brown 1165 01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:09,240 Speaker 1: and the wide receiver from USC. He's probably gonna come 1166 01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 1: in a little under the standard stuff, but in terms 1167 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,560 Speaker 1: of being a baller, he's an absolute ball and he 1168 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,120 Speaker 1: has someone as Steve Smith old school Steve Smith to 1169 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 1: him in terms of his competitiveness and Gruit deskn serving 1170 01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:24,200 Speaker 1: will because I think he's gonna outstad in pro. Yeah, 1171 01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,400 Speaker 1: you know, I've mentioned Samuel, a bunch from Florida State. 1172 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,360 Speaker 1: I think somebody's gonna get a hell of a football 1173 01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 1: player there. I love I love the fact that all 1174 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 1: these players have their dads were NFL players. Samuel Well, 1175 01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,720 Speaker 1: you know you're gonna watch the Clemson tape. You're gonna say, oh, 1176 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,080 Speaker 1: the taller guy got him. Taller guy got him. But 1177 01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,680 Speaker 1: if you watch all his tape, all the opportunities he had, 1178 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,280 Speaker 1: this kid goes out there and he plays hard every 1179 01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:49,360 Speaker 1: single snap. He makes plays on the ball, he could cover, 1180 01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,520 Speaker 1: he could tackle. I mean, he's kind of a blockdown tackler, 1181 01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,160 Speaker 1: but he's aggressive, he's he goes after you. I think 1182 01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,960 Speaker 1: people are gonna fall in love with him. I hope 1183 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,960 Speaker 1: they give him the benefit to the doubt because of 1184 01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,280 Speaker 1: his height. Though he might be at the bottom of 1185 01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,680 Speaker 1: the first round, somebody might take him into second. But 1186 01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a hell of a football player for somebody. 1187 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Kyle, I thought we were doing negative things. 1188 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:14,200 Speaker 1: I didn't realize we were doing positive things. So I 1189 01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,080 Speaker 1: thought we were just doing straight haydon. I didn't know 1190 01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,800 Speaker 1: we were doing positive things. Uh. Then I also want 1191 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,400 Speaker 1: to piggyback. I want to piggyback on what Brian saying 1192 01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:30,080 Speaker 1: and throw out another corner. Elijah Molden at Washington Baller. 1193 01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,240 Speaker 1: I don't care about your height. Come on down. But 1194 01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,160 Speaker 1: to Bucky's point, I'm not picking in the first round 1195 01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,600 Speaker 1: because you're right. Yeah, a good player. His dad was. 1196 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,280 Speaker 1: His dad was a good player. Elijah's a really solid player. 1197 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:44,880 Speaker 1: A lot of versatility too. Somebody somewhere, some way, Isaiah 1198 01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:48,200 Speaker 1: Stanback is smiling with his U dub on Dallas Cowboys 1199 01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:52,640 Speaker 1: dot Com.

Oh yeah, yeah, don't forget him. 1201 01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,240 Speaker 1: I mean he's probably he's probably gonna be taken down 1202 01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,160 Speaker 1: towards the bottom, but he needs to be more up 1203 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,920 Speaker 1: to the top. Don't let that six foot height scary 1204 01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:08,760 Speaker 1: at all.
