1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel, Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: What's up everybody? Welcome to move the sticks? DJ, Bucky 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: back together? Buck? How you doing? Man? Man A good 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: and no complaints, DJ, We're get into it. We got 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: another week before things kick off, and I am excited 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: about it. All. All right, we're gonna go first year, 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: second year again. We're kind of working our way through 8 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: the entire league. Today. We have a f C North, 9 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: NFC North, uh that those are the divisions we're gonna hammer. 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about guys that we're buying, so, um, 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: you know, maybe what we've seen from them thus far, 12 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,319 Speaker 1: maybe what we expect to see from them in this 13 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: coming season. I thought we each give a name for 14 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: a rookie and a second year player. If you've if 15 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: you've missed the previous episodes, we've been going through this, 16 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: so if this is not your team that that you 17 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: want to hear about, go back and find those episodes. 18 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: I think we maybe have one more, maybe one more left. 19 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we're power we're powering through 20 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: all these but um, you can go back check those out. 21 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: If you've missed the previous episodes. Yeah, Nabile said, one 22 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: more left to go. Um, all right, Buck, Let's let's 23 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: jump in here. It's always fun to see if we 24 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: have some of the same names. Again, we have not 25 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: talked about this in terms of who we're picking, but 26 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: we've got our lists written out and we'll see if 27 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: we get some DNA matches here. But let's start it 28 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: off here. Let's go. Let's go with the a f 29 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: C North and let's start with the Cincinnati Bengals. Rookie 30 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: and a second year player. You're buying? Oh man, this 31 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: this should be easy because normally when you go with 32 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl team, you wanna take the first round pick. 33 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 1: Could you expect him to be able to contribute right away? 34 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Daxton Hill, uh first round 35 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 1: pick from Michigan. You understand the situation that they're dealing 36 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: with with Jesse Bates franchise tag. We don't know what 37 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: that's going to look like if he's the one year wonder. 38 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: So already started grooming his replacement, and that's Daxton Hill. 39 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: And while you're grooming him, you can put him in 40 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: a role where you can play nickel, he can play dime, 41 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: he can play in the depost. He can do a 42 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: lot of different things for his defense. I think I 43 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: have a lot of fun moving him around and use 44 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: them as a chess piece. Yeah, DNA match, I went 45 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: the same and it wasn't just hey, this is the 46 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: first round pick. I actually really like Dexton Hill and 47 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: his fit there. And one of the things I think 48 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: it's interesting is you scout for your division. We talked 49 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: about it all the time, and this is a rugged, 50 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: rough division, even though they're throwing the ball more uh 51 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: than maybe they have in the past. But still, when 52 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: you're gonna line up and you're gonna play against that 53 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: Baltimore run game, you're gonna play against that Cleveland Brown's 54 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: offensive line in their run game. You're gonna play against 55 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: Nagie Harris Buck, You're you're backing guys better be able 56 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: to tackle. Now we can talk about all the different 57 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: places you can line him up. He can play in 58 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: the nickel. I think he can play outside. If you 59 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: wanted to play corner outside, you can play in the post. 60 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: But one thing you better do, not only gotta cover, 61 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: you better tackle in this division. I think his toughness, 62 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: I think that's a good fit A good DNA match 63 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: for that division. Absolutely, his toughness is essential and he 64 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: is a great fit for how they want to play 65 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: in the back end. Very solid defense. He's a very 66 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: solid overall player. Would have really a well rounded skill set. 67 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: Give me your second year player you're buying here, Well, 68 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: the easiest guy to buy would be Ja march As. 69 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: When you see people talk about him being the third 70 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: best wide receiver in football, you know he is legit. 71 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: So let's I want to see what he does for 72 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: an encore um. I think he's surprised everybody in terms 73 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: of just his sheer dominance right out the gate. I 74 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: think we knew he was a really good player, but 75 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: maybe some people were spooked by the free season and 76 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: some of the drafts that showed up. Yeah, made no mistake. 77 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: This dude is a talented player. But what I want 78 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: to see if he's not only a Tier one player, 79 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 1: but is he what we call like one of those 80 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: rock stars at the position. He's shown flashes of being that. 81 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: I want to see what he does now that everyone 82 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: is kind of circulated to tape and he will begin 83 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: to see coverage directing his uh in his way. Yeah, 84 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: I mean that look it's it's hard not to buy 85 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: what he's doing. I I don't even think he's scratched 86 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: the surface. That's a crazy thing. As good as he's been, 87 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: as productive as he's been, that's that's an easy one. 88 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: I'll just throw in another name though. Uh it's Joseph 89 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: Osi to me, um is an interesting one coming off 90 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: of an injury. Um, somebody that's got big time, big 91 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: time juice burst. I thought he was a little bit 92 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: stiff coming out. But but they've had, you know, they've 93 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: had a nice run of pass rushers and you look 94 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: at teams and we always talk about the Steelers and 95 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: how they evaluate uh, you know, receivers and how they 96 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: have a long history of making those guys work. Cincinnati 97 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: Bengals sneakily have done a good job of not only 98 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: developing their own pass rushers, but going out and obviously 99 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: with Trey Hendrickson, find them on the free agent market 100 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: making good moves there. So they've got a good feel 101 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: for that that edge rush position. Yeah. I mean, it's 102 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: it's a team that It's funny how quickly the roster 103 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: fliff and how we talked about them being very talented. 104 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: A Super Bowl appearance will do that. But more important, 105 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: I would say Zach Taylor's culturing the environment that he's 106 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: creating Cincinnati has made is where you need to pay 107 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: attention to the Benglis because I think they're legit. All right, 108 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: let's go Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh Steelers. Um. People talk about 109 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: a quarterback, but I'm gonna go beyond a quarterback. I'm 110 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: gonna go and look at George Pickens. And the reason 111 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: why George Pickens is a player to keep an eye 112 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: on is because there's a lot of uncertainty in their 113 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: wide receiver corps. Chase Claypool, Deante Johnson both are angling 114 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: for big contracts and so we noticed still is still 115 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: has not ever been trying to play a wide receiver 116 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 1: twenty plus million a year. So how quickly can George 117 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: Pickens move into the rotation and become a key contributor. 118 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: This is a very talented player, a guy who is 119 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: hindered by a knee injury. Let's see if he's the 120 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: next second round pick to kind of flourish and it's 121 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: still a uniform. Yeah, you know, it's funny with him. 122 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: He was my pick as well. Uh, I put Pickings 123 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: down in Sometimes you're buying because you expect big things. 124 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: Sometimes you buy it like you buy a stock just 125 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: off entrgue, like I don't know. I don't know if 126 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: any of us know. We've seen the flashes, we've seen 127 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: the glimpses, and sometimes we see that, you know, manifest 128 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: itself in a big time player. Sometimes you can get 129 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of a bus risk there. But I'm 130 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: I'm buying pickings purely on intrigue, and I'm gonna give 131 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: the Steelers the benefit of the doubt. As I just mentioned, 132 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: they've done such a good job at the white out 133 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: position and this gives them a bigger frame guy Um 134 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: to go along with Chase claypol those are two power 135 00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: forwards that they can throw out there along with the 136 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: Ante Johnson so um I like to fit. I'm not 137 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,559 Speaker 1: necessarily saying I think this is a home run player 138 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: who's gonna, you know, tear it up. But I'm intrigued Buck, 139 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: That's why he's my pick. Yeah, I'm intrigued. The other guy, 140 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: I'm intrigued by Marvin Leo. I like him a coming 141 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: out Texas and him Typically those guys tend to work 142 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: out for the Pittsburgh steels. They have a good do 143 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: a good job with the model. They understand exactly what 144 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: to do when it comes to getting their guys ready 145 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: to plug. All right, your too, Um, here we go, 146 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: So let's go Pat Freemouth to tie it in from 147 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,679 Speaker 1: Penn State. He's a he's yeah, he's a guy, big buddy, 148 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: playmaker guy that's in that Heath Miller mode. I think 149 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: he has a chance to be a productive pass catcher. 150 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: I would keep an eye on him being able to 151 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: get it done. All right, this is low hanging fruit, 152 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do it because of the theory that 153 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: I have to go along with it. Think about what 154 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: Naji Harris did last year. Um, and if you think 155 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 1: about it with a quarterback who is two things. Number one, 156 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberg was not a threat to run obviously, right, 157 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: so you didn't have to count for the extra guy 158 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: in the run game. So that's the first thing. The 159 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: second thing you have to remember is if you think 160 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: about Ben not being able to vertically push the ball 161 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: down the field, Um, you're gonna have a crowded a 162 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: crowded box bringing more people closer to the line of scrimmage. 163 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: So when you think about Naji Harris going into your 164 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: number two and you have an opportunity to maybe scare 165 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: some of those safeties back a little bit with more 166 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: of a vertical passing game. Um, you start with that, 167 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: and then you also have the threat of the quarterback 168 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: being a run option, so you want to run some 169 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: zone read stuff. Either if it's true Whisky, who wins 170 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: the job, you know, or whether or not you end 171 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: up getting the rookie out there who wins the job? 172 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: You know? To me, I think you're you're in a 173 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: pretty good spot there. Whether it's pick It or Traubinsky. Um, 174 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: you have to count for the quarterback in the run game. 175 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: That's why I think Naji takes it up a level. 176 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: He certainly does take enough a notch. Uh. They need 177 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: him to be a big factor because you want to 178 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: alleviate all the fressure on whichever quarterback is in play. 179 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: Naji Harris has to be a big factor in Look, 180 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: he did everything last year. I kind of likened him 181 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: a little bit to a Levian Bill, but a different 182 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,239 Speaker 1: stylistic player. He has to be one of those guys 183 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: that maybe has a thousand and a hundred thousand rusting 184 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: yards and hundred catches someone has stabilizes his offense while 185 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: the quarterback grows into it. All Right, I'm gonna go 186 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns next here, Buck, and I'll lead us off. 187 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at Alex Right, um edge rusher at 188 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: a U A B. One of the more intriguing guys. 189 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: Somebody that that's name popped up a lot, got his 190 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: his name brought up to me by a bunch of 191 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: guys around the league who are intrigued by kind of 192 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: the length of the size, the ability to go inside 193 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: outside as a rusher. Uh. Kind of a unique player. 194 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: And I think the Cleveland Browns, um, you know, they're 195 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: looking for another complimentary piece there to Miles Garrett. I 196 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: think he can provide that. So I'm I'm big on 197 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: Alex right trying to try and make an impact here, 198 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: and then I'll go ja Okay, it's the second year player, 199 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: just because again he was phenomenal when he was on 200 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: the field last year. One of the best rippies in 201 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: the league. You know, obviously everybody knows the story. He 202 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: falls in the draft because there was some concern about 203 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: a heart issue or heart test. All that's been alleviated, 204 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: and then the Cleveland Browns end up stumbling into an 205 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: unbelievable value with him where they got it, Yeah, unbelievable value. 206 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: And you think about value, I'm gonna go back and 207 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: talk about the rookie that I expect to have a 208 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: significant contribution. I'm gonna go with David Bill because I 209 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: think he's a valuable player. I think he's a value pick. 210 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: I think he will outplay his draft status. Just a 211 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: very productive player. And when I think about this offense 212 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: and what they need any rock steady players and so, um, 213 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: he's an outstanding route runner. I think he's going to 214 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: be a big part of what they do. And then 215 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: when I go to their offense as a second year player, 216 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: how about Anthony Schwartz while receiver from Auburn. Little light 217 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: in the bridges, but man, he is fast. And so 218 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: if I talked about David Bill being kind of a 219 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: chain mover, they need someone that can take the top 220 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: off the defense. I think Schwarts is going to be 221 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: someone that can do that. With the Marie Cooper entrenched 222 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: as the Number one, the more weapons that you can 223 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: have around him, the better he will perform. I expect 224 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: that they happened with those two guys stepping up. Yeah, 225 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: definitely speak. I'm curious with him though, does the you know, 226 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: does the track speed always translate to the field? Um? 227 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: You know that was kind of one of the knocks 228 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,599 Speaker 1: on him coming out of the draft. But um so 229 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: menteresting names there. Okay, let's finish up this division. Let's 230 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: go with the Baltimore Ravens, a rookie and a second 231 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: year player. Book. So everyone is going to talk about 232 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: Calah Hamilton's but I under the intrigued by Tyler Lindenbaum 233 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: the center and the reason why they had such a 234 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: tough time manning the pivot position the last couple of years. 235 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: They just couldn't get it right. Tyler lindon Bomb is 236 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: a guy who is rock solid in his play. We 237 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: know what product IOWA typically produces when it comes to 238 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: technicians and the guys that they have kind of turned 239 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: out year after year. He's another one. And the last 240 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: time the Baltimore Ravens had a guy from IOWA in 241 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: the front line of Marta Yonda and he played really 242 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: well for them. I think Tyler Lindenball will also be 243 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: a good player for him. Yeah, I mean, look at again, 244 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: good players just kind of make their way to the 245 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: Ravens and the draft that kind of fall there. I'm 246 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: gonna go down the line a little bit and I'm 247 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: gonna go with history repeating itself with the Ravens getting 248 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,719 Speaker 1: a tight end and Isaiah Likely and if you look 249 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: at them kind of getting guys and pairs, they've done 250 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: this forever, Um, And everything I heard out of the 251 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: the mini camps was I Saiya Likely was making plays. 252 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: Another one where once again, Buck, if you ended the 253 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: season like going into that Senior Bowl, I think I 254 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: had him as the number one or number two tight 255 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: end and the whole draft. Senior Bowl is a little inconsistent. 256 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: Uh drops a couple of balls. Then you go to 257 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: the testing portion doesn't necessarily test as explosive as you think. 258 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: You go back to the tape, it's one explosive play 259 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: after another. I'm talking ninety yard touchdowns type explosive plays. 260 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: And then now we get back on the grass. What 261 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: do you know? He's good at football? Um. So, the 262 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: Ravens have a way of being able to kind of 263 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: block out the noise in the spring and it's benefited 264 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: them for twenty plus years, and I think it's going 265 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: to benefit him again here with Isaiah Likely. You look, 266 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: it's funny because I actually love what they're doing to 267 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: their offense. I think they're doubling down on Lamar Jackson's 268 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: best years. As much as everyone wants them to spread 269 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: it out and put fast guys on the field, they've 270 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 1: been better when they've had bigger guys on the field. 271 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: I think you and I have talked about it. When 272 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: you put the small guys on the field, you kind 273 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: of neutralize his advantage as an athlete, and then you 274 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: get the bigger linebackers and safeties on the field to 275 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: match up with the tight ends and backs advantage Lamar Jackson. 276 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,599 Speaker 1: But out of that, the second year player that we 277 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: have to watch is Rashande Bateman because Rashande Bateman is 278 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: the number one receiver and people are complaining about their 279 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: inability to attract receivers. Well, this is what they do. 280 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: They are the Army of the National Football League mean, 281 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: and they're gonna run the football. They're gonna do with 282 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: some the guys that are playing wide receiver, they have 283 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 1: to know that coming into it. It's not about the 284 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: number of catches. It's about the yards per catch that 285 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: you have to watch Rashande Bateman could be a guy 286 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: who doesn't really wire you with the number of receptions, 287 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: but I think his receptions, his catches will be key 288 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: and they'd be pivotal. So look for him to really 289 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: stand out as a number one receiver. Yeah, that was 290 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: I mean, there was really only one choice. You had 291 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: to go with Rashan Bateman because the runway has been 292 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: cleared and there's really kind of um I don't know 293 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: that there's a great fallback plan there if he doesn't 294 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: have a great year. Um Man, they're receiving corps. Is 295 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: just kind of you know, there's nobody in there that 296 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: can really scare you. And with the way they run 297 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: the football, with the way they've loaded back up on 298 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: the offensive line, the tight end position, you're gonna get 299 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: one on one opportunities. You're gonna get a chance to 300 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: make big plays down the field. I don't necessarily need 301 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: him to catch a hunterballs buck, but I'd like to 302 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 1: see him average eighteen yards catching. To me, DJ, that 303 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: is a perfect That is a perfect way for it 304 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: to look. He needs to be that guy, that guy 305 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: can make big plays, can stretch to feel you load 306 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: it up. Us teen guys in the box. He's out 307 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: there by himself, working one on ones, outstanding running. I 308 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: expect the new wing he needs to put a big 309 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: numbers for them all right before we uh we take 310 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: a break and we get over to the NFC. I 311 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: gotta get your thoughts real quick, as somebody who's been 312 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 1: in more than a few Twitter spats in his day book, 313 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: I need your thoughts. Lamar Jackson and Bernard Pollard in 314 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: the most bizarre Twitter feud uh that I can't remember. Uh, 315 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: look it's it's it's interesting that Bernard polar will it's 316 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 1: not interesting that he would make a comment, but man, 317 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: the heat that Lamar Jackson went back and forth. And look, man, 318 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: it's one of those things like Lamar Jackson is obviously 319 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: feeling the pinch. But I feel like some of this 320 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: he brought upon himself. I think they could have negotiated 321 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: this deal the entire offseason if that is what your 322 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: design goal was, to get a deal done. I don't 323 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: know why you don't do that early. So now you're 324 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: hearing all the noise and all the voices as the 325 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: training date draws closer, he just has to lock in 326 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: and focus. And I don't mind a good verbal or 327 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: Twitter spat. But I think for him, man, there's no 328 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: need to engage in it. Like the people that like 329 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: you like you, those who don't. We're never going to 330 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: like your style at the quarterback position, so you can't 331 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: change it. He just has to be the best at 332 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: what he is. But I would say lay off to Twitter, 333 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: leave us alone. Yeah. The funny thing is, you know, 334 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: there's kind of some merits to what he was saing um. 335 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: None of the big time whiteouts you're gonna go want 336 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: to play it. I don't think that they don't want 337 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: to Mark Jackson, they don't want to play in the offense. 338 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: Why I wouldn't if I was a receiver, I want 339 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: to go play in that offense and watch to turn 340 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: around hand the ball off and and and that's why 341 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: I say their army, those guys that want to be there, 342 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: they're doing it for a bigger cause, a bigger reason. 343 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: You've been enlisted to come and perform and do your 344 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: four years for the Baltimore Ravens. And part of that 345 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: is you're gonna block a lot. You may catch a 346 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: handful of basses, but this offense is one that is 347 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: run base and they have been at their best when 348 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: they run it, and they run it with big bodies 349 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: on the field. So why receivers have to know that's 350 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: just one of the deals. Yeah, and when you throw it, 351 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna build inside out. It's at its 352 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: best when it's building inside out, working the tight ends, 353 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: work in the middle of the field. And then again 354 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: to me, it's you're hitting slants on the outside and 355 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: you're hitting over the top explosives, you know, after you've 356 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: run the ball really well, that's just I mean that, 357 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: and it works. That's that's good. The good thing for 358 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: the Ravens is they don't need they don't need a 359 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: twenty five million dollar receiver. They don't not the way 360 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: they play, they don't need it. No, they can save 361 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: a lot of money, a lot of save a lot 362 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: of money, a lot of effort just going and digging 363 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: in the garbage being defined white else and make it happen. Yeah, 364 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: they can. They can invest those dollars elsewhere. All right, 365 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break, we're gonna come back 366 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: and we're hit the NFC North all right, buck, let's 367 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: jump into it here. Uh, Green Bay Packers rookie and 368 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: second year player, all you Okay, So the easy money 369 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: would be Christian Watson, d wide receiver. Let's go beneath 370 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: there and go Romeo Doves from Nevada. Yeah, hearing the 371 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: reports of people talking about him like he made a 372 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: solid impression on UH officials inside the building in terms 373 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: of the way that he got down in the offseason 374 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: program and O T A S. And so when you 375 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: think about how they have to play everyone, we'll talk 376 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: about the veterans, Randall Cobbs and Sammy Watch and Alans 377 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: are one of these young guys, he's gonna have to 378 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: step up and emerge. I'm hoping on Watson, but Doves 379 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: could also be a guy that steps up. All right, 380 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: I like that one vertical stretch receiver. I'm gonna go 381 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: with an offensive lineman and go Sean Ryan out of 382 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: U c. L A who kind of fits again. I 383 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: like guys that fit the profile where they've had previous success. 384 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: And you look at Elton Jenkins with the versatility to 385 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: be able to play any of the five positions. I 386 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: thought in this draft Sean Ryan was kind of one 387 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: of those guys who can play tackle. UM A lot 388 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: of teams thought he'd be best kick inside and play guard. 389 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm so sure he couldn't play center. So you've got 390 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: somebody with legit five position flex and you've got a 391 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: seventeen game season. So whether or not he's you know, 392 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: playing early snaps, that's tv D. But I think at 393 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: some point in time he finds his way into the 394 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: lineup to kind of plug a hole and that can 395 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: help you win a key game and can impact seating 396 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: and and ultimately trying to chase a championship. It's guys 397 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 1: like that, picks like that with the versatility that that 398 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: really hit home. So that's my pick. How about second 399 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: your player, second player, Let's keep an eye o Eric Stokes. 400 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: Eric Stokes first round pick, play really well. But now 401 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: everyone is coming back. Your Alexander is back in the mix. 402 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: This defense I think has to kind of carry a 403 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: little more water, uh than in the past, because the 404 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: offense may not be as explosive. Eric STOs being able 405 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,959 Speaker 1: to lock up on the perimeter should make things easy 406 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: for Joe Barry as he continues to kinda make this 407 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: team transform from more of a man heavy team to 408 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: a little more zone base, with the eyes on the 409 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: quarterback leading the interceptions and turnovers. Yeah, I went with 410 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: the same guy, Um Stokes. Look, he ran the four twos. 411 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: You know about the heightweight, speed combination. Um, And to me, 412 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: I thought there was a little bit of tightness that 413 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: you saw when you when you watched him at Georgia, 414 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: But there was a lot to like. I you know, 415 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: to me, he's got the ability to be able to 416 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: match up with some of the bigger guys you're gonna see. UM, 417 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: I think he's uh, he's a really really talented and 418 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: intriguing player. So that was my pick as well. Um, 419 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: let's let's keep it moving here. Let's go Minnesota Vikings 420 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: here buck Yeah, Minnesota Vikings first year player UM Andrew Booth. 421 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: I really liked him coming out of Clempson. Man. I 422 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: thought dude was outstanding on the perimeter. The Vikings for 423 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: years had always been a place where you always knew 424 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: they have solid secondary play fell off the last couple 425 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: of years and then you have new defense coming in 426 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: and don tell all these guys trying to kind of 427 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: figure out how can they get this team to play 428 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: with great eyes envision. Andrew Booth from Clemson to me 429 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: was one of the players in the draft and I 430 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: felt like I had the versatility to play in any scheme. 431 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: He should be able to thrive and flourish in this 432 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: game because it does allow him to kind of do 433 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of different things on a 434 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: down by down basis. Yeah, I went. I went to 435 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 1: the secondary as well, but I went with their top 436 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: pick in Lewis scene and I go back to you 437 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: know what a defensive head coach had told me through 438 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: the run up to the draft, we were talking about players, 439 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: kind of going over the whole draft, and when his 440 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: name came up, he said that this guy is my 441 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: favorite player in the draft. He used the term warrior. 442 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: When you talk to the coaches at Georgia, they say 443 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: some of the same things. Kind of a heart and 444 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: soul type player, but also has you know, heightweight, speed, 445 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: physicality of froness intelligence which was off the charts. Um, 446 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: he can tell you everything you need to know about 447 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: that Georgia's scheme and and uh and how to be 448 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: able to make checks and and make things happen. So 449 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: it's hard to find guys with that kind of intellectual 450 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: capability to go along with the physicality and all the height, 451 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: weight speed stuff. He got the whole thing um so 452 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: to me, I thought where they got him was a 453 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: good value picking and one of those guys I think 454 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: when we look back, we'll say, man, maybe we should 455 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: have pushed him up a little bit higher. Yeah, it's 456 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: funny like that. Sometimes you do have regrets when you 457 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: go back and you look at the draft, and you 458 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: go back and maybe you pop in some tape and 459 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: you just got to one of like, man, why wasn't 460 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: I high on this guy? And so you just wonder, 461 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: give me the give me the second year player you're 462 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: on here? Uh? Second player? You know I'm gonna one 463 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: a tario. So how about chess? A right? I gotta 464 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: see in new defense, new opportunity, Uh, different voices in 465 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: the room. Is there a place where you have a 466 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: right to get on the field coming out of college? 467 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: Everyone loves athleticism, is explosiveness. I thought he was still 468 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: raw and unrefined as a player. Well, let's see a 469 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: new coaches that I can find a way to unlock 470 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: that potential. Yeah, that's a good one. I'm gonna go 471 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: with kind of some low hanging fuit here. I'm gonna 472 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: go with Christian Derrissaw left tackle. Who you know, if 473 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: he can stay healthy, stay out there on the field. 474 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: The physical gifts were never in question. You've got a 475 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: chance to you know, he's got a chance to develop 476 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: into the one. You know, top I don't know what 477 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: you'd say, top eight, top ten left tackles. I think 478 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: he's got that type of ability. So stay healthy, stay 479 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: out in the field. And I I know he's missed some 480 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: time in the off season, but get him back in there. Um. 481 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot to work with. And that's uh, 482 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: you know, that's that's something with this offensive line, you 483 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: gotta keep keep Cousins protected. We know when he's clean 484 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: and protected, he can play at a high level. So 485 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with darrisaws is one that's gonna be 486 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: key for them. Love him, man, I love it all right, 487 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: Let's go Bill Bears. Yeah, do the Bears here? And 488 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: he's like, okay, okay, So the Bears. The top two 489 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: picks that the Bears had DoD DVS. I can say 490 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: either one of them, Kyla Gordon, the Quant Brisker, either 491 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: one of these guys. Because we met. Even Fluis comes in, 492 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna play really box solid zone defense. Didn't keep 493 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: that Oues on the ball. They can float to the 494 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: ball and they're gonna make plays. And he also wants 495 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: gas on the perimeter that can tackle. Both of these 496 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: guys can do it. So I have my eye on 497 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 1: both of their top two things. Yeah, I want with Brisker, 498 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: that was my my choice. And again, I feel like 499 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: the more we're seeing teams put secondary defenders in and 500 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: run fits, the more I think I value tackling. You know, 501 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: we always talk about you gotta you can't cover, you 502 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: can't play. Yeah, Well, if you can't cover and you 503 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: can't tackle, you can't play. Now you gotta be able 504 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: to do both because they're gonna isolate you, they're gonna 505 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: put you in runfits. Um, I think Risker's ability to 506 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: kind of play down low and and and using the 507 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: blizz a little bit as well, he can be an 508 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: impact guy. So that's my pick. Uh there, So we're 509 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: both kind of thinking the same thing in that secondary. 510 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: How about the second year player, I mean it has 511 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: to be Justin Fields. Um, you just wonder what Justin 512 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: Field's future is going to be. And there's a lot 513 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: riding on his performance the second year, and I would 514 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,239 Speaker 1: say that he's doing it without many weapons, and so 515 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: can he rise above the challenges that he's facing and 516 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: play at a level that allows you to kind of 517 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: envision him becoming one of the top quarterbacks in the league. 518 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: Odds are against him, but let's let's see how he 519 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: performs in the second year new offense. I feel like 520 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: in some ways he's in a good spot because maybe 521 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: if all the second year guys, and I think if 522 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: some of it's just the situation he finds himself, and 523 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: I don't feel like the expectations are very high, um, 524 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: you know, for what he's playing with and and kind 525 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: of where they are as a team in this process. 526 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: I feel like he's got a chance to come in there, 527 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: maybe without quite as much pressure as somebody like Zack 528 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: Wilson who they've loaded up around, and the expectations are 529 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: that he's going to perform at a high level. So 530 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: that's an interesting one. Khalil Herbert's the other one I'll 531 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: throw in there, who was a bargain pick for them. 532 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: I think he factors in, gets a little bit more 533 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: of a role in their run game. But runs are 534 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: really really hard tough kids, So that would be my choice. 535 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: If we're gonna go away from the quarterback last team here, 536 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: let's go with the Detroit Lions. Uh. Jamison Williams, wide 537 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: receiver Alabama And the only reason why I'm intrigued just 538 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: as he does he play this year? And if he 539 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: does play, what does he look like coming off the 540 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: knee injury? Uh? Going into the draft, prior to the injury, 541 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: many wonder if he was gonna be the first one 542 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: to come off the board. His speed, his explosiveness, his 543 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: ability to deliver these big plays exactly what the Detroit 544 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 1: Lions need. How soon do we get a chance to 545 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: gaze eyes on him and see what kind of production 546 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: and performance he can deliver. I like that one I 547 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: want with Josh Pascal because he's just one of my 548 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: favorite players in the draft. Again inside outside rush ability, 549 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: I think three time captain, characters off the charts. I 550 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: think he'll be able to find a role for this 551 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: team right away. UM. So you look at what they 552 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 1: did with Aidan Hutchinson with their first pick. He's going 553 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: to have all the eyeballs. Don't don't sleep on Josh 554 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: Pascal find a way to impact that team. He certainly 555 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: has an opportunity to impact the team. Another guy who 556 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: could be an impact player second year player. How about 557 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: Allen McNeil from North Carolina State, the defensive tackle who's 558 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 1: super athletic. This defense plays hard, they give great effort, 559 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: they have and exhibit great energy. Now they just need 560 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: better performance and second year player that can grow up 561 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: on the interior. McNeil is intriguing and one of the 562 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: best most athletic interview defendis that we saw in the 563 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: draft process this season ago. Let's see if he gets 564 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: better and kind of settles into his role for this team. Yeah, 565 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: big man, big athlete. I'm gonna go again. I'm in 566 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 1: ross st. Brown. We saw the numbers he put up 567 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: last year were excellent. I don't know if you saw 568 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: Warren Sharp, our buddy tweeted out the other day the 569 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: stat which I found intriguing. It was I think it 570 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: was either after an incompletion on first down or there 571 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: basically no gain on first down, So second and ten 572 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: the highest run rate in the league. I think the 573 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: Lions were like number one or number two, so it's 574 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: almost kind of like you're just putting yourself in third 575 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: and long at that point in time. I think they're 576 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more forward thinking this year. I think 577 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: there'll be a little bit more aggressive in the passing game. 578 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: So as good as the numbers were last year for 579 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,959 Speaker 1: Alman Ross st Brown, and I think he takes him 580 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: up another notch um and ends up being really kind 581 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: of one of the really good young whiteouts in this league. 582 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: He is certainly UH a guy that you have to 583 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. Love the way he runs routes. 584 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: I love his toughness, and I think he has a chance. 585 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: He and d J hr Uh not necessarily household names 586 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: on the national scale. The guys that are very productive 587 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: right systems, you can see them really pop and explode. 588 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: All right, there you go. There we have it. We 589 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: made it through the a f C North and the 590 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: n f C North. Anything you want to add here, 591 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: Buck before we get to this weekend. No, we're on 592 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: a tight schedule. So now I think it was good. 593 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: I love talking about all of these UH prospects and 594 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: players and kind of forecasting how they can perform. His workies. Yeah, 595 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: by the way, hot tip out there, do not do 596 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: not try and pick up a glass of mire door 597 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: by the top, because the plastic there that's gonna snap. 598 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: And what's gonna happen is when that snaps it's going 599 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: to drop on your toes and it doesn't end well. 600 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: Hence the reason why we're ending this podcast right now 601 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: because I can go to the doctor. Um. Anyways, it's uh, 602 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: it's good to see you man. We'll be back together soon. 603 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be out next week. Um, kind of the 604 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: last little breath here before the season starts. But Buck, 605 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: you're holding it down and I believe we've got JP 606 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: James Palmer coming on the first episode. We'll have three 607 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 1: three episodes next week, so be on the lookout for that. 608 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it for us today. Appreciating 609 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: the bill, all your hard work putting this thing together. 610 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: We'll catch you next time right here on moving sticks.
