What three days since we've been out of 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.479 a week, you know, it came in. But before we 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:51.720 even talk about the Senior Bowl, I just want I 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:53.960 want to just kind of take it in. I want 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:57.880 to just give you love, Greg, and because first, you 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.640 know you've been doing NFL Daily, you know, doing your 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.639 your shows with Patrick Claybond, You're doing your shows with 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:05.000 Steve Wish. 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.920 You have them on, you have me and Ryan on. 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.160 We have done.

There's not a lot of representation 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:32.319 because media is still white and still male, and that's 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.679 what it looks like. And it's just it's just a 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.959 juxtaposition to me because it's like the country, the president 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.040 is like, let's get it, let's do it.

It's cool and yeah, it's 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.120 a it's a good call with the draft community, especially 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:38.400 even even amongst the NFL media community, is particularly one note. 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.800 So I've never been down there before. Ryan, you lived 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.920 there first of all, Like what I didn't really think about. 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.000 So I was just introducing you. But Adam West and 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:51.880 Ryan Wolf. You guys got some like broadcast superhero type 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.200 names here right now? You know, like that you guys 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.320 should be in front of the camera with Adam. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.280 You just named it be Ryan Wolf. 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.760 So I'm not even I did actually think that's your name. 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.600 But then I saw that's what you went by, a boot, 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.120 that blue sky, that boy Wolf. I was like, Damn, 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:08.840 I didn't know his actual name was Ryn Wolf. 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:19.040 It's not it's not just sound Ryan Wolf, not related. 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:20.440 But I love. 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.040 What what's it? What's it been like this week? 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.920 Let's get into the players, cause the thing that stands 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.000 out to me the most just from watching your guys 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.400 covered is how convinced Adam is that Jackson Dart, the 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.960 Ole miss quarterback who I happen to talk a decent 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.480 amount with Nate ticeon. And we'll stick to some of 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.400 the big names some of the top fifty players that 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.880 are there in Mobile. But quarterbacks always interesting. Your team 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.480 needs a quarterback long term, of course, despite you know 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.839 the presence of Spencer Rattler. But thinking big picture, I'm 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.720 amazed how convinced Adam Is, who I know has good 0:03:55.760 --> 0:04:00.000 contact throughout the league, that this guy is going top ten, 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.640 top fifteen, Like nobody's saying that yet. 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.240 Why are you so confident, I'll say at least top fifteen. 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:12.440 I just there's just there's there's buzz that. 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.880 He will potentially may have a bow Knicks type of 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:22.159 bump where there's just gonna be a team that falls 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.839 falls in love with him as a prospect. And Greg, 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.560 we know how it is in the draft when there's 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.200 teams when it comes to this quarterback thirst, we see 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:33.160 it oftentimes. Again, what's gonna be interesting is is there 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.719 gonna be that restraint that we saw in twenty twenty 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:41.200 two in a down quarterback draft when you have the 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.640 can you pick it Malik Willis draft and we don't see, 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.560 we don't see the thirst come to fruition or is 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.120 there gonna be a team that the Steelers, the Rams 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.440 and you and you know, we don't know what's gonna 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.640 going wrong with Matthew Stafford. Is there gonna be a 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.760 team that's gonna feel like they can squint and a 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.400 just ask you this, Well, let's go back to last year, 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.480 around the same time last year, with anyone talking about 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.760 bo Nicks going at tenth in the drought. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:12.719 No, and at this time of year. 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.080 He was getting knocked a little bit for not having 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.440 the best senior ball week, which I think informed a 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:23.720 lot of the coverage afterwards. But that doesn't doesn't mean 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.720 it's gonna happen with everyone. Ryan, what did what did 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:29.600 you see out of Jackson Dart this week? Let's let's 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:30.560 start there on the field. 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.919 I mean, he looked He looked good. That's that's the 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:34.919 thing about him. He looks the part. If you just 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.640 watch him, you know, move around, just the command of 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.800 the offense and all that stuff. He looks the part. 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:46.440 You know. As a personally, I just it would definitely 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.640 be an overdraft, like for him to go in the 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.680 top five, top fifteen or top ten. But you know, 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.520 like Ed, I'm just saying you could have made that 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.919 argument about bo Knicks last year, but I still I 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.800 struggle to see it with dark But I do see 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:02.880 the uh tools, The tools are there, and you could 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.840 see the tools that would entice an NFL team that's 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.520 thirsty for a quarterback, because there's like a lot of 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.560 teams this year that really need quarterbacks. 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:16.000 Why just because he's like he's just big and athletic 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.039 and handsome basically. 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.160 And he has a good arm. It's not It was 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.240 funny during to see the Senior Bowl week, you know, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.680 the first two practices he wasn't really on corking it. 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.039 I was like, man, where is this arm? You know 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.080 that I was supposed to hear about. Today when he 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.279 had like the team drills going against the defense, you 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.839 saw him let it loose a little more and you know, 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:37.520 drive the ball a little more. Not that he has 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.039 like a huge Matthew Stafford type on and that like that, 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.400 but he hasn't, you know, a decent nice arm. So 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.920 I just think maybe the quarterback thirst meets the tools 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:52.040 and he could get boosted up for me personally. But 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.360 if that's what they if you're hearing that now and 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.520 everybody's buzzing about them, it always starts little buzz and 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.440 then come April it's like, okay, of course you of 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.120 course he went top top fifty, you know, just saying, 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:05.480 let me just put it out there. 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:07.480 Okay, Well, then you better be right. 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.800 You know you're going strong on this you're talking about 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:11.640 I think he might go at nine to the Saints 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.360 that you're feeling on top fifty. 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:14.800 You know, I didn't say I would just put it. 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.960 I was just wanted to just gauge the post of 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.160 how Saints fans would feel. Okay, I didn't say he 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:21.400 was going the Saint. 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.920 You put it out there. I saw what you did. 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.520 Don't don't try to gasp me. 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:32.040 He he was forty third on Daniel Jeremiah's top fifty prospects, 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:33.960 So that caught my attention because I don't even think 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:39.000 he's that high on other people's. And that's that's Dania 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:43.960 Jeremiah's opinion, and it's it's not his mock draft, but 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:49.240 the fact that he from that sort of respected evaluator, 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.280 that he's going to get that high, then he's got 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.360 a chance to be QB three, and then some of 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:57.160 the push for the quarterbacks could happen. I would push 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:03.120 back and say cam Ward going top fifteen and Shader 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.320 Sanders going top fifteen, that's the push because if they 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.800 were in last year's draft, those guys might be behind 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.880 bow Nicks they or right around him, they might be 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.840 about QB six, QB five, QB six. I think they 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:21.200 would definitely would have been behind Pennix and and Pennox 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:25.360 was QB four, So so to me, those guys going 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.200 relatively early there, I think there is a point where 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:33.880 you gotta have the talent and and we'll see, Like 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.040 he's an intriguing guy. It feels like he maybe has 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:41.120 a strong like agent going on, like some strong buzzes 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.240 just just happened with this dude from the cornerbacks that 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.160 you saw there this week. Riley Leonard was there, and 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.400 it's it's because I'm a big Nate Tice fan, and 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.520 I remember listening to him talk about him a lot 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.800 last year, Like he's a much bigger Riley Leonard fan 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.360 than I think America is. And Leonard had it yeah, 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.960 hadn't up, yeah, hadn't up and down season at Notre 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.080 Day and which probably did not help his his status. 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.079 Is there anyone that stuck out to you at quarterback 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:10.360 other than than Jackson Dart who who Yeah, like I 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.840 was listening to move the sticks. People should check out 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.320 our our podcast on NFL Media, Move the Sticks, who's 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:20.520 been doing daily recaps, and they I can read between 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.320 the lines. They weren't that impressed with Dart the first 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:23.840 couple of days, kind of like you and and it 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:26.400 sounds like today from the network coverage, they were more impressed. 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:28.800 Was there anyone else at quarterback that you liked there 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:29.280 this week? 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.520 I would say, coming into the Singer Bowl, I wasn't 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.640 expecting a whole bunch from Dylan Gabriel, the Oregon quarterback, 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:41.760 And I think he just impressed me just in terms 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:46.000 of just his his accuracy and he has a probably 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.680 a little more on his on his throne that I 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:53.640 then anticipated. And everyone everyone likes to just make the 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.880 lazy like, oh, he'd be a perfect like backup quarterback 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.440 for Tula in Miami and then if he gets hurt, 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.520 like there's not like a drop off in the offense. 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.400 Even before the Singer Bowl, but then I watched it, 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.080 I was like, like that would be that would be 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.560 perfect for the Dolphins. If you go to the Dolphins 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.960 season every time to what gets hurt, like they don't 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.840 have an adequate backup situation. They have to completely change 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.719 their offense. Toua was left handed and like you can 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.240 make a lot of like Dylan Gable would make perfect 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.040 sense for them, like in the fourth round or in 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.800 the fifth round because he's left handed and he gets 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:31.000 it and anyway, but he he's been like impressive and 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.480 what he's able to what he's shown here in Mobile. 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.680 Ryan, do you feel like a scout now? 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:37.600 Have you? 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.079 I hope you don't have any like imposter syndrome because 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:43.560 this is a home game. I've listened to your podcast. 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.599 You know you're from you're living in Mobile. You're not 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.720 from Mobile, but you live nearby, and so it's a 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.000 home game. Like how is it putting on that scouting 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:53.600 cap and what have you seen? 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.520 It feels natural for me? Man, I love it, you know. 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.839 Jalen Moreau he was the guy to look for coming 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:07.520 into this into this week. Uh, he started out this 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.520 practice his practice week kind of rough. I can't lie, 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.720 like just just as far as accuracy, you know, fumbling 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.800 the ball, interceptions and stuff like that. I thought he 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:19.400 had a really solid day to day when they had 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.440 the team practices. Also kind of like dark, Uh, impressive kid, 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:26.840 Like I was there for his his initial presser just 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:30.080 like an impressive kid that will probably win some GM's 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.280 coaches over in the meeting room. Obviously dripping with talent, 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.840 athletic fast. He can give you the second action plays. 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:39.480 It's not like he has a week on. He's a 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.480 good arm and when he and you watch the tape, 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.800 he does throw accurately at times, but it's just like you, 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:51.199 he's He's similar to Jalen Hurts was when he came out, 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.360 whereas like, I'm gonna have to kind of build him 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.600 into a passer and use his legs and use his 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.200 playmaking ability to build him along. It's just just one 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:02.720 of those guys where you just kind of hope that 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:04.920 he probably got another year, but it doesn't matter now 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.920 he's coming into the NFL, so I let him, let 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.199 him get let him get his reps in the NFL, 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.760 you know, and maybe he'll improve there. So it's gonna 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:15.199 be to see how his process goes along. 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.040 Just a quick and just a little quick thing. I 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.480 found it very interesting that both Mike Tomlin was here 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:26.440 with author Smith his oh scene very like just just 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:30.199 a little note together. It's a little interesting note I 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.880 took by being here. 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.600 Right, And Milroe is a guy who if you're putting 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:41.080 them into different buckets of types of quarterbacks strengths weaknesses. 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.959 You mentioned Hurts justin fields, might might be another one 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.679 where where some of the strengths some of the weaknesses. 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.600 And to me, he he has potential to be a 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.160 special runner like like. 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:59.720 Already right, So that's such a great floor to start from. 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.120 And to me, he seems like a much more likely 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.840 QB three. If you're telling me someone's gonna get pushed 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:07.319 up the board a little bit, he. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.360 Makes more sense to me. 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.960 And Hurts is a really interesting comparison because I'll always 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:16.520 remember Jeremiah at the last second with his top fifty 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:21.480 prospects right before the draft, finally putting Hurts, and he 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.680 just said, there's too many people around the NFL that 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.679 have told me he's just a special person in terms 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.439 of what a leader and a worker he is. That 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.160 I'm gonna just bet on him and see what happens 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.319 and put him in there. And it's funny, it's right 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.080 about where he went in the draft. He didn't go 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.360 first round, but he did go top fifty, and now 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:42.280 here he is in his. 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:43.360 Second Super Bowl. 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.280 No one's putting him as a top five quarterback. We 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.160 didn't put him on QB Island. We might have to 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.520 have a revote if he wins a Super Bowl. But 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.160 he is coming off as his best game of the season. 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:54.320 I gotta say about Hurts. 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:55.560 This is a little bit of a sidetrack. 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.559 But no, I just finished the coach the film from 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.520 last week and I and I went through, I went 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.360 through my notes, I went through like the PFF score 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.120 and stuff, and I was like, that was his. 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.559 Best game of the season. And then I was singing 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:09.520 like two. 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.160 Years ago was the best game of his career and 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.800 it was the Super Bowl. I mean, if this is 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.000 any other sport, we would call that a big game player. Now, 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.280 it's a little inconsistent because not all of his playoff 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.040 games have been magic. In fact, he's had some just 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.760 okay ones, including this year. But it's pretty cool that 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:28.960 the best game of his career is in the Super Bowl, 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.400 the best game of his season is in the NFC Championship. 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:34.720 That's kind of what you want. That's what you want 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.520 on your leader, right. I know he's not like Patrick Mahomes, 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:38.960 but that's kind of what you want. It makes me 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:40.680 afraid to pick against. 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.920 Him, and he was drafted in the second round, and 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.120 he was considered like a quote unquote project quarterback, Like 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.480 that's that's true quarterback development. 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:50.920 Remember they were like, we can use him as a 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.440 tsom Hill. Maybe it was like we are in the 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:55.960 super Bowl for the second time. 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.480 All right, you got to make sure Adam's not just 0:14:58.720 --> 0:14:59.520 hogging that Mike. 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.520 Let's let's move. Let's move to the tight end position. 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.120 I'm just saying, you gotta it's like tilted towards you. 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.000 I see what you're doing. Adam's kind of the host 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.960 between you two, and he's trying to get preferential sound 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.480 treatment here. The tight ends, the tight ends in Mobile 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:17.840 looked like they were awesome from Afar, it's a really 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:21.240 good tight end class. I keep referring to DJ because 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:25.480 I gotta have some some foundation to build my rankings from. 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.920 And he's got two tight ends in his top ten 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.120 overall players, which is wild their top fifteen overall players, 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:34.800 and Tyler Warren is one of them, and they weren't 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.960 in Mobile. But he had two others that were in Mobile, 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:43.680 Mason Taylor, the son of Jason Taylor, and Elijah Arroyo, 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.880 who had a bunch of great looking catches from my 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:52.640 eyes this week, just from the TV copy. Ryan, give 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.240 me your impressions on like Wich, which of those two 0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:55.840 you like better? 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:57.400 Just what stood out with those two. 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:03.040 The thing about a royal is just the way he moves, 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.520 man like you you watch him quickly, you're gonna see it. 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.400 It's like, Okay, this guy is six four and a half, 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:11.920 you know, two hundred and whatever pounds, two hundred and 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:16.920 sixty pounds, moving like this, come like this this. You 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:20.640 could easily see him being special in the offense. Now 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:22.880 we know how tight ends work. You know, you could 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.200 be as special as you want. To be an effective 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:26.680 tight end. You have to do a lot of the 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.400 dirty work. You gotta be able to, you know, somewhat 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.000 block You gotta be able to do things. We'll see 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.040 how he is in that area, you know. But I 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:37.280 mean just from a talent standpoint and a you know, 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:39.960 red zone going up. He had a red zone catch today, 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.040 but he went up and attacked the ball. Just looked 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:43.880 just like Jimmy Graham, man Like. It just reminded me 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.280 of Jimmy Graham from back in the day. So like, 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.120 just awesome. I know, Ty Warren, he wasn't at the 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.760 Senior Bowl, but he's like, you know, mostly the tight 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.160 end one for most people, Adam is thinking like, man, 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.480 it's a Royal better than Ty Warren. You know that's 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.160 going to be one of the fas. But there's a 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.159 there's so many tight ends in this class though. I mean, 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:07.560 you've got Harold Fanning. He's out of where's he got 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:13.040 out of Bowling Green. He's super talented, didn't shine that 0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:15.639 much this week at Singing Bowl, but you know his 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.760 team speak for himself, he's really an athletic. 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:23.280 And for for Mason Taylor, I think this tightening class 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.200 in running back class is very much like ice cream 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.680 is just like what is your flavor? And with Royal 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.080 you get so like with Mason Taylor, it's like he's 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.680 more of a what's it like, a more complete tight 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.240 end in terms of someone that maybe you can play 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:39.879 him more and more in line. He's going to be 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:43.720 more of a factor in the run game, but still fluid, 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.320 maybe not as fluid. And then someone a friend of 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.359 mine made a great comparison I think for Mason Taylor, 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:52.200 like as a pro Green Bay Packers Luke musk Grave 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.440 as a pro comparison, I felt like that was very 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.600 apt and I feel like Mason Taylor is going to 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.920 be a better role player than he was in college. 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:03.840 We actually actually got to have a quick interview with 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:10.200 him and he very so very But this running backs 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.480 and tight ends are just going to it's just what 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.760 do you want out of out of your players? Really, 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.720 what it's going to boil down to for both those 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.400 positions in this draft class. 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.879 That's an interesting comp you know, from I gotta I 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:24.879 gotta get in on the tape on these guys. 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.800 I'm looking forward to watch it. It must grave I 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:28.280 never was. 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.160 I don't know if he was as natural he he 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.760 definitely has the speed. I think just being Jason Taylor's 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:36.119 son is gonna get him pushed up. 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.600 People just want to and there is something to. 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:42.440 That quick thing to his Mason Taylor or sorry, Mason 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:50.119 Taylor's mom is zach Zak, Thomas's former Texas Tech linebackers sister, 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:52.480 right right. 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.480 I remember that back in the day when they were playing. 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.280 Yeah, it was like, he's like born to be an 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:58.880 NFL player. 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:01.919 I see it at the NFL. I think about this 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:03.480 all the time. People are just like. 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:09.000 All these athlete sons, you know, they have the jeans and. 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:10.359 That's why they become great players. 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.359 And it's like, yeah, that helps, of course, but a 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.760 lot of people have good jeans, a lot of people 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:20.400 are athletic. What they have is a freaking personal NFL 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.680 coach in their house with them twenty four to seven, 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:26.800 who's coaching them up from the time they're three years 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:30.440 old through this whole process. Jason Taylor is literally there. 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:33.480 You can't even imagine how valuable that is because I 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:34.440 see how. 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.920 Crazy they not here the whole week. 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.639 Right Like, I see how serious they are about their 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:44.239 NFL flag leagues, and that continues up to their when 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:47.719 they start playing tackle to their high school and as 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:49.240 long as the kids love it, and a lot of 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.280 their kids don't like that, a lot of them. It's 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.919 like one out of three of the kids, don't, you know, 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:56.000 it's one out of three loves it or whatever. But 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.960 the one that does, it's like they've they've got this 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.840 free coach who knows everything and knows how to train 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:04.800 and is gonna help you all along the way. And then, oh, 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:08.560 by the way, they also have basically unlimited resources to 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:10.880 get you on the best teams and get more coaches 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.360 and get more help. It's like that's why they're all 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:16.560
