Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson of
Speaker 1: the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the Drive. I'm Dale Lollly here with Matt Williamson. And
Speaker 1: as I mentioned in the previous segment, Daniel Jeremiah, who
Speaker 1: is the draft guru at the NFL dot Com, has
Speaker 1: put out his second mock, Marck two point oh um.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed it's yet, Matt, but
Speaker 1: Lanceier lines his draft profiles are starting to make their
Speaker 1: way onto the site, but as usual, you can't find them.
Speaker 1: Can't find them. You actually have to you have to
Speaker 1: get to take the player's name and then do a
Speaker 1: Google search for that player and zero line to get
Speaker 1: the and they come up. Is that how? But there's
Speaker 1: nowhere to find them on the website itself. It's the
Speaker 1: dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life. Here's what
Speaker 1: I've been doing. Is Okay, I'm looking at DJ's mock
Speaker 1: and I click on Aiden Hutchinson. Okay, there's wow. There's
Speaker 1: all this nice bio and analysis by Land Serbine, who
Speaker 1: I am a big fan of. And then over here
Speaker 1: on the right it says view all prospects prospects. That
Speaker 1: sounds great. What takes you the last year? There's Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence and cattle pits and you can't sort it by
Speaker 1: a year, Like, why is what is going on here?
Speaker 1: It's the dumbest thing. Makes me crazy. Yeah, it's the
Speaker 1: NFL's official site and it's crap, mind boggling. You can't
Speaker 1: find anything ever, ever, ever. But anyways, let's dig into
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah and I ran about that for five years.
Speaker 1: We didn't talk to some people and were to combine
Speaker 1: about that. Get that settled, I mean dot com? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what are you doing here? Right? Uh So, as usual,
Speaker 1: the first overall pick, the Jacksonville Jaguars is Evan Neil.
Speaker 1: No surprise there, sure, I mean, I'm sure they'd love
Speaker 1: somebody to call and you know, move back or whatever.
Speaker 1: No offense to Devan deal. But I mean, if if
Speaker 1: there was a stud quarterback in this class, Jacksonville would
Speaker 1: be really happy to have teams calling him left and right.
Speaker 1: But there's a'll just take a real good player and
Speaker 1: that's the end of the story and move on, you know.
Speaker 1: Much the same with the second pick, because he has
Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson going to Detroit. Okay, as I often referenced
Speaker 1: with DJ, he he mocks with his ears, he ranks
Speaker 1: with his eyes. So this is what he's been hearing,
Speaker 1: you know. And he says he has heat up next week.
Speaker 1: He said he has Hutchinson rated as his top player
Speaker 1: in the draft. At three to Houston is Kyle Hamilton's
Speaker 1: safety out of Notre Dame. I actually think he's the
Speaker 1: best player in the draft. I like it's closed. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, you can certainly make that argument, Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: basing it on position. Might I'm not position. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying who's the best player at what they do? I
Speaker 1: think I think it's Hamilton's. At four, Uh, he has
Speaker 1: the Jets taking Uh. I can make Wana the offensive
Speaker 1: tackle slash guard from uh And she stays it be
Speaker 1: a heck of a young line. Well, I'd be a
Speaker 1: tremendous young line. Yeah, that's what Douglas is about. I
Speaker 1: understand that. Yeah. At five, he has the Giants taking
Speaker 1: not an offensive lineman, tray Von Walker, the edge rusher
Speaker 1: out of Georgia. See, okay, pull him back the curtain.
Speaker 1: You and I and Mr Pursuita are gonna do our
Speaker 1: triple take tomorrow and we're gonna unveil our second mock draft,
Speaker 1: and I have Walker going like six or seven, and
Speaker 1: now everyone's gonna say you still let off Daniel Jeremiah
Speaker 1: and and my right up for him was, this looks
Speaker 1: crazy high, but just wait till the combine is I
Speaker 1: think this guy is gonna rocket up boards. But what's
Speaker 1: interesting he isn't going ahead of Timodel. Right at six,
Speaker 1: he has the Panthers taking Trevor Penning offensive tackle out
Speaker 1: of Northern Iowa. I don't think Pennings didn't get the twenty.
Speaker 1: There's just too many land mines for the Steelers. But still,
Speaker 1: that's a head across. It would be surprising, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a head across that Penny had a great week
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl. I mean, just you know, if
Speaker 1: you if you're looking for somebody to set the tone
Speaker 1: with your offensive line, right, he's a toe, He's a
Speaker 1: tone setter. I'm sure Steeler fans are gonna fall more
Speaker 1: and more in love with them. I just think there's
Speaker 1: less and less a chance he gets a twenty. At seven,
Speaker 1: the Giants with their second pick, again taking a pass
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. They might you must think they're
Speaker 1: going to address the offensive line in free agency. Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe because that's what they did in Buffalo when Dabo
Speaker 1: was there, I guess. I mean, I don't know if
Speaker 1: the Giants stone used one of the two top seven
Speaker 1: picks on no line even if they signed to and
Speaker 1: free agency, I think I'll be critical. Well, he hasn't
Speaker 1: taking they have receivers. He hasn't taken Drake London. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they had a pass catchers. I mean, I know Ingram's
Speaker 1: up for free agency, and maybe they'll cut Sheppard who
Speaker 1: had a bad injury. But still that's the problem with there.
Speaker 1: They have receivers. None of them can stay healthy. None
Speaker 1: of them can stay healthy or being the field together, right,
Speaker 1: Kenny Holliday is a waste of money, you know, Right,
Speaker 1: But Drake London the wide receiver out of usc UH
Speaker 1: at eight. This is where Cavlon Thibodeau goes the edge
Speaker 1: rusher out of Oregon. I think you would love that.
Speaker 1: I guess his interviews are really a big deal coming
Speaker 1: up is I don't know. I'm not saying he's a
Speaker 1: bad guy. I don't know anything about him, but it
Speaker 1: sounds like he's a different cat. He's different. Yeah, yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: so we'll see how he interviews this week. At nine,
Speaker 1: the Broncos don't take a quarterback. He hasn't taking Jermaine Johnson.
Speaker 1: He had a great week at at the Senior Bowl
Speaker 1: week Senior Bowl, and I have not fiddled with my
Speaker 1: edge rushes. But there's six or seven there's a bunch
Speaker 1: there that are a grouping. It's I think that the
Speaker 1: combine could go a long way towards saying how these
Speaker 1: guys rank, because they're all pretty close talent wise. But
Speaker 1: you know, when some some of these guys, you know,
Speaker 1: somebody jumps forty two inches and runs a you know,
Speaker 1: a four or five forty and the other guys are
Speaker 1: all four seven, that could be the you know. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see official arm legs and wing spans all
Speaker 1: that and all these things. Oh he's only six three.
Speaker 1: He was listed at six five, like where he's got
Speaker 1: short arms or right right right. But there's six or
Speaker 1: seven edge guys that would be easily the best running
Speaker 1: back or tight end or guard, you know what I mean. Like,
Speaker 1: there's it's a loaded group at the talk. It really is.
Speaker 1: Um I think that's maybe the strength of this draft.
Speaker 1: At ten, he's got the Jets with their second pick,
Speaker 1: taking Ahmad Sauce Gardener, the cornerback at a Cincinnati. Okay,
Speaker 1: so he would be first corner single. Singleton hadn't gone yet,
Speaker 1: um and most people have him first. I could see
Speaker 1: that as well, but stay I called him Singleton. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Stingley at eleven Washington also passes on a quarterback. They
Speaker 1: take Kenyan Green, the guard out of Texas, A and M.
Speaker 1: I think he's a safe pick. He's a clear he's
Speaker 1: a clear double. But they they pass on cross Press
Speaker 1: on cross I mean they are probably gonna lose Brandon Shraft,
Speaker 1: who they've you know, they've franchise tagged and I'm not
Speaker 1: going to get on that road again where you just
Speaker 1: keep tagging a guy. I think guards a bigger need
Speaker 1: than tackle. They took cos Me last year. But man,
Speaker 1: this is early. Yeah. At twelve, the Vikings is We've
Speaker 1: we've projected a lot. Take a cornerback, but it's Trent
Speaker 1: McDuffie out of Washington. It's not Stingley, not Stingley. I
Speaker 1: do think McDuffie stock, not that I hate saying his
Speaker 1: stock is rising, but I think he's You're gonna see
Speaker 1: him higher and higher in his mocks. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: he's a little short, but he has long arms. He's
Speaker 1: gonna test well. He's a good player. And the Washington
Speaker 1: cornerbacks have done pretty well in the draft, too good.
Speaker 1: Kind of an underreported thing. Yeah, there's there's it's it's
Speaker 1: not a bad school to get cornerbacks out of. Um.
Speaker 1: The one thing he says about him, he's one of
Speaker 1: the cleanest evaluations in the draft. Um, so really a
Speaker 1: lot of those this year. That's a that's that's a
Speaker 1: real feather in his cap. Really. Yeah. At thirteen, the
Speaker 1: Browns pass on wide receiver and go for George Carl Loftus,
Speaker 1: the edge rusher out of Purdue, which is about the
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth edge guy already. Yeah, how about that?
Speaker 1: Right right? Uh? At fourteen, the Ravens and take Derek
Speaker 1: Stingley Jr. Cornerback at ours That would make perfect sense
Speaker 1: for him. Everybody has. This is the first I think
Speaker 1: mock draft that I've seen it has the Ravens taking
Speaker 1: a cornerback. It just adds up. I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna play defense the way that they play defense, Um,
Speaker 1: we want to play defense, you've gotta keep restocking at
Speaker 1: cornerback position, and they're gonna have a of I think
Speaker 1: they have like four or five fourth round picks. You know,
Speaker 1: they can find receivers and guards and centers, like defensive tackles.
Speaker 1: They I mean, they need to address the defensive tackle
Speaker 1: position as well. But but I think one of these
Speaker 1: three corners, if we include McDuffie, who's already gone in
Speaker 1: this draft, has a really good chance to be a rate. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The Eagles with their first of three picks in the
Speaker 1: first round, David is Jobu, the addresser out of Michigan. Again,
Speaker 1: I mean it's a super loaded position. Grab them up.
Speaker 1: They're gonna go quick. It's sixteen. The Eagles take Davante Wyatt,
Speaker 1: the defensive tackle out of Georgia. That's a that's as
Speaker 1: high as I've seen him go. I like the player.
Speaker 1: Here's the problem with him that I found when I
Speaker 1: was doing our rankings for the Triple Take. He'll turn
Speaker 1: twenty four this summer. Yeah, I'd say he's a little old.
Speaker 1: It was still my number one d tackle. But he's
Speaker 1: a little old, and you might only get one contract
Speaker 1: out of him. You might, you might, I mean be
Speaker 1: odd for the Eagles to go d n D tackle.
Speaker 1: But they love lineman there and it's the same GM
Speaker 1: and you know, the same front office that won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. They were there. They were trying to potentially
Speaker 1: move Fletcher Cox last year at the at the he
Speaker 1: could be gone. Yeah, he could. He could definitely be
Speaker 1: moving on. Um, he would look good next to Javon Hargrave.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, makes sense. That part makes sense. It's
Speaker 1: seventeen the Chargers this one. Um. I could see receiver here,
Speaker 1: but not a Lave Lave Crystal Lave, the wide receiver
Speaker 1: out of Ohio state. I could see them not paying
Speaker 1: the money that it's going to take the re sign
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. I think Mike Williams is gonna make a
Speaker 1: pretty good buck. Yeah. I think he's gonna he'll get
Speaker 1: eighteen million a year. Um. So I could see them
Speaker 1: needing somebody that you know, then he would have Keenan
Speaker 1: Allen basically nobody else. Um, they drafted Palmer last year.
Speaker 1: But I don't think they receiver is gonna be an need. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I just don't think a love is worth But um,
Speaker 1: I mean not that I'm killing the guy. I think
Speaker 1: he was my fifth receiver. I would take his teammate
Speaker 1: ahead of him. I'd take a Wilson. He may go
Speaker 1: to the combine and run a four four or some four.
Speaker 1: You know, we don't know. I bet he does, to
Speaker 1: be honest with you. Yeah. I mean they are seemingly
Speaker 1: pretty fast there. They can move. Yeah. Yeah. At eighteen,
Speaker 1: the Saints take Kenny Pickett, the quarterback, out of pit.
Speaker 1: Totally totally adds up Um. But as we talked about
Speaker 1: the first segment, if by chance Jamis is a Saint,
Speaker 1: I don't think they go say I don't think they
Speaker 1: go quarterback in round one. Um Ross Jackson hosts locked
Speaker 1: on Saints. He was on our our show the other
Speaker 1: They would almost have to go wide receiver. They almost
Speaker 1: have to go wide receiver. But he he threw something
Speaker 1: out there I thought was interesting. Is this team loves
Speaker 1: offensive lineman and if they have a quarterback locked up
Speaker 1: and they don't think they're losing, Thomas Armstead won't be back.
Speaker 1: This could be attack. I thought of tackle there, but
Speaker 1: it could be still Charles Cross is still not gone yet, right,
Speaker 1: that'd be hard passed. Yeah. At nineteen, the Eagles take
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, the other wide receiver, out of Ohio State
Speaker 1: two d Lineman and Garrett Wilson. Ok, yeah, that works.
Speaker 1: That works. Which leaves at twenty the Steelers state right
Speaker 1: where they're at and take Malik Willis quarterback out of Liberty.
Speaker 1: Very nice. I wouldn't batn eight at Charles Cross either. No. No,
Speaker 1: I think you know somebody asked me about this on
Speaker 1: my h on my live chat this week on the
Speaker 1: d K Pittsburgh Sports. You know, Kevin Colbert has never
Speaker 1: drafted an offensive tackle in the first round. I said, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean he doesn't want to. His average draft
Speaker 1: position is. It's the same thing that people say, well
Speaker 1: you never you know, they strike out a quarterback. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're taking you're taking the fifth or six best guy
Speaker 1: on the board. I said, you do you want him
Speaker 1: to take an offensive tackle in the first round just
Speaker 1: because well he's you know, the first four top four
Speaker 1: guys are gone, so we're just gonna take the best,
Speaker 1: next best guy even though we have them ranks. No,
Speaker 1: you're gonna stick to your board exactly. That's what I
Speaker 1: was about to say. It's the same thing as corner
Speaker 1: is there's there's freak athlete corners and tackles in every draft,
Speaker 1: but there's two or three of them, and then they
Speaker 1: go in the top twelve, right right, God, Gardner and
Speaker 1: Stanley and those dudes. I mean, yeah, so you don't
Speaker 1: take the second round tackle at twenty just because he's
Speaker 1: a tackle, right? So you know, to me, if you
Speaker 1: get Malik Willis and you don't at twenty, and you
Speaker 1: don't have to do anything, everyone's throat they should be.
Speaker 1: I think you, I think you get the best quarterback
Speaker 1: in the draft. And let's say that we know that
Speaker 1: to be true. I mean, crystal ball comes out, and
Speaker 1: I think if you told, you told Kevin Colbert right now,
Speaker 1: Kevin Willis will be there. This is this, this is
Speaker 1: your pick. You don't know anything else that's gonna happen
Speaker 1: in the draft, but you get you get Malik Willis
Speaker 1: at twenty, he would say, okay, which probably also means
Speaker 1: they have too offensive linemen and free agency from outside
Speaker 1: the team and Juju is locked up and two other things.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, You didn't you didn't spend
Speaker 1: any non draft capital on quarterback and you get this
Speaker 1: guy for five years, and you get five years, five
Speaker 1: years at a reasonable price, and maybe Rudolph starts a year.
Speaker 1: Who knows, I mean, maybe he doesn't. Maybe Willis runs
Speaker 1: around as it even learns, you know, but with a
Speaker 1: pretty good supporting Cats, I would take it at twenty one.
Speaker 1: The Patriot State. Devin Lloyd, the linebacker at of Utah. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's almost in that some of the some of these
Speaker 1: guys Kendrick Green and Lloyd and Hamilton's it's just their
Speaker 1: position hurts them a little bit, you know, right where
Speaker 1: who needs an off the ball linebacker with the first
Speaker 1: round pick. It's twenty two. The Raiders stopped the Charles
Speaker 1: Cross uh drop here and take him at twenty two. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just curious why he would be this blow. Why
Speaker 1: does Daniel think a tackle as we just said, sophomore talent,
Speaker 1: who's who's twenty one? Yeah, with supreme talents. I mean,
Speaker 1: in any year he comes out, would be one of
Speaker 1: the most talented tackles. Maybe there's something he's hearing. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe maybe, I mean, maybe we'll get a
Speaker 1: little a little bird he'll tell us an indie. Yeah
Speaker 1: it's twenty three. I mean he's not a mash or
Speaker 1: run blocker, No, he's not. He's just an athletic guy.
Speaker 1: It's twenty three. The Cardinals state Kyler Gordon, the other
Speaker 1: Washington cornerback. Um, I mean a lot of people put
Speaker 1: him in this area the first time I get that.
Speaker 1: It's twenty four. The Cowboys take Nakobe Dean, that Georgia linebackers.
Speaker 1: I think Parsons is one of the best pass rushers
Speaker 1: in the league. And if you're gonna lose Gregory, I
Speaker 1: would put Parsons hand in the dirt and I would
Speaker 1: understand this. Vander esh is up. But it's a lot
Speaker 1: of moving parts from what you had last year. You know?
Speaker 1: Does that I don't know. I mean all the edge
Speaker 1: rushers are gone though, you know right, I mean you
Speaker 1: have one. I've mocked other edge rushers to to Dallas,
Speaker 1: thinking okay, they can you know you pair him up
Speaker 1: with with Michael Parsons where you use him and somebody
Speaker 1: else and allow Michael Parsons to be a moving piece. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I think that makes you They went quick. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they certainly went early in this one. It would be
Speaker 1: interesting if you know, if Dean and a Jabo are
Speaker 1: on the board, really they're telling you what what they
Speaker 1: think of Parsons with who they pick of them too,
Speaker 1: so that as you know, it's twenty five the bill
Speaker 1: Stake trail and Burke's the wide receiver out of Arkansas. Wow,
Speaker 1: I'm good after the catch, really powerful. I love the player.
Speaker 1: I mean that's keeping a strength of strength, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: The Titans take Tyler Linderbaum the center out of Iowa.
Speaker 1: I think Steeler fans might be a little too high
Speaker 1: on Tyler Linderbaum. I like the people who are saying
Speaker 1: that Kendrick Green is too small to play center are
Speaker 1: then jumping on the Tyler Linderbaum bend wagon. Tyler Linderom
Speaker 1: he's fifteen pounds lighter than Kendrick Green. M yeah, and
Speaker 1: pretty maxed out from the from the just looking at him,
Speaker 1: I'm curious what he weighs in next week. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the more interest Yeah. And
Speaker 1: then let's say it comes in at can he still
Speaker 1: move like he did when he was you know, they
Speaker 1: listen to him at two eighty nine at Iowa, which
Speaker 1: means he was probably more like, yeah, okay, so can
Speaker 1: he still move it to live the way he did
Speaker 1: it to eighty I don't know, And I know a
Speaker 1: lot of listeners and casual observers laugh at why does
Speaker 1: this poor guy walk up there in his underwear for
Speaker 1: everyone to see. I want to see how broad his
Speaker 1: shoulders is? You know, what's his waist? You know? Like
Speaker 1: how wide is he? How big boned is he? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, is he ever gonna be
Speaker 1: three oh five when he's nine? He maxed out? Is
Speaker 1: he matched out physically? Is he as big as he
Speaker 1: can possibly be? Right? Right? Right? I mean what's his
Speaker 1: bone structure? You know, things like that matter when the
Speaker 1: guys like this, Yeah, I really like the player. I'm
Speaker 1: not Oh, I do too. I'm not saying he's a
Speaker 1: bad football player now. I just you know, there's no
Speaker 1: way the Steelers can pass it on Tyler Linderball. I'm like,
Speaker 1: well they might, they might. I mean the way this
Speaker 1: draft went, I would have taken Willison Crossover Linden Bomb absolutely, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's too far fetched. At seven,
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers take Jamison Williams wide receiver all of Alabama. Um,
Speaker 1: I bet they have a quarterback in place. Can they
Speaker 1: have a draft trask and then draft another? Can they
Speaker 1: afford the weight on Jamison Williams? So are they a
Speaker 1: team that can do that. I don't know. Maybe in
Speaker 1: that division, maybe I'm assuming Godwin would be gone, and
Speaker 1: you know, I mean he's he's essentially in the same
Speaker 1: boat as Goblin right now because he tores it. They
Speaker 1: both tore their A c L December and after they're
Speaker 1: not going. Neither one of those guys are going to
Speaker 1: be ready to start a training camp or for basically
Speaker 1: for the start of the regular season for that matter. Right,
Speaker 1: very different style of receivers though, Yeah, no doubt the
Speaker 1: Packers take another edge. Boy Mafe, Boy Mafe. I should
Speaker 1: say out of Minnesota, a lot of people love them,
Speaker 1: and I get that. Then I wouldn't hesitate. I just
Speaker 1: haven't seen him mocked in the first too often. I
Speaker 1: just think that the Smith brothers could be on their
Speaker 1: way out, and I think that's what they're I don't know,
Speaker 1: if I don't know if they cut bait with both
Speaker 1: of them. I think maybe one of them, maybe one
Speaker 1: of them probably pressed and probably pressed and he's not
Speaker 1: as good a player, and they overpaid. You know, when
Speaker 1: they signed both of those guys, it was like, you know,
Speaker 1: they're combined thirty million dollars that first season, like They're okay,
Speaker 1: they're not that good to do that. Um. At twenty nine,
Speaker 1: here's a new name for you. He has a Dolphins
Speaker 1: taking Tyler Smith offensive tackle and of Tulsa. Wow. I
Speaker 1: have not seen him lumped in this neighborhood at all. Wow.
Speaker 1: I mean ahead of like Raymond. Yeah, I always walk
Speaker 1: Raymond to the dollars, he says, a maller with outstanding
Speaker 1: quickness and agility. He needs to clean up the penalties.
Speaker 1: He had sixteen penalties last year. I knew that. It
Speaker 1: told I Bet Daniels expecting him to really test well. Yeah.
Speaker 1: At thirty, the Chiefs take dex Hill the safety out
Speaker 1: of Michigan. Okay. I mean I think they go a
Speaker 1: lot of different directions, and I think they gotta work
Speaker 1: on their pass rush. Frank Clark isn't a guy I'm
Speaker 1: counting on. UM. I could see Andy Reid saying, give
Speaker 1: me one more pass catcher. You know, I think they've
Speaker 1: got what four receivers who are unrestricted free agents. They're
Speaker 1: going to sign them all. Preston Williams has a chance
Speaker 1: to be there. Jamison Williams, I'm sorry, has a chance
Speaker 1: to be the a Chief and he's gone in this scenario,
Speaker 1: but deep speed, they can their offensively fine while he recovers.
Speaker 1: You know, the thirty one he has the Bengals getting
Speaker 1: Bernhard Raymond, Uh, the offensive tackle out of Central Michigan.
Speaker 1: I love this guy. I I do too, but I
Speaker 1: think he's more of a left than he has a right.
Speaker 1: So I guess they would have to moves Uh, they'd
Speaker 1: have to move Williams over to right tackle Williams. It
Speaker 1: Bama played all over the line, clean guard, you know,
Speaker 1: so I guess that would be fine. Um. Raymond's old.
Speaker 1: He think he's twenty four or five. Because of his
Speaker 1: Austrian background and all this stuff. He did some military
Speaker 1: time for in the Austria military. That's the only negative
Speaker 1: I can find on him though, Like it wouldn't break
Speaker 1: my heart if he was the pick of the sealers.
Speaker 1: Yeah that you know. The age thing though, makes me
Speaker 1: wonder is he maxed out in terms of strength strength,
Speaker 1: because that's the that's the one that's the one knock
Speaker 1: that you have on him. Like he's a he's a long,
Speaker 1: lean guy. He looks he looks like you know what
Speaker 1: he is as a former tight end, former tight end
Speaker 1: that can really move and then he bulked up. But
Speaker 1: he's still kind of you know when you saw him
Speaker 1: next to the other guys at the at the scouting combine,
Speaker 1: he's like at the Senior Bowl, like he just needs
Speaker 1: to put on an extra fifty pounds to look like
Speaker 1: some of these other guys. Well, you know, he may
Speaker 1: he may be maxed out. This goes back to the
Speaker 1: Kendrick Green conversation though about size and ability to handle
Speaker 1: big defensive lineman. Technique goes a long way, it doesn't.
Speaker 1: You would think Raymond is really raw, but he isn't.
Speaker 1: I mean, he must be a very smart, hard working
Speaker 1: guy because he didn't play football sinto kakrawl. And he's
Speaker 1: really good with his hands and sinking his hips and
Speaker 1: handling power even though he's a natural athlete. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he is. And he he's technically sound for a guy
Speaker 1: who hasn't played a lot of football. Yeah. And then
Speaker 1: finally at thirty two, he has the Detroit Lions not
Speaker 1: taking a quarterback, which a lot of people have done,
Speaker 1: but instead taking Jordan Davis, the big defensive tackle out
Speaker 1: of Georgia. This might be my least favorite DJ pick,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. They they took soul and
Speaker 1: then they went D tackle D tackle last year, and
Speaker 1: those guys weren't bad. And they need everything, you know,
Speaker 1: like give me the best receiver on the board, or
Speaker 1: any corner or really anything else you know you already
Speaker 1: got if Hutchinson's already on on board, give me anything
Speaker 1: but alignment here and I'd be happy. Yeah. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I if I get that one. Maybe he
Speaker 1: just looked at it and said, Jordan Davis is too
Speaker 1: good to leave out of the first round. I gotta
Speaker 1: get him in there somewhere. Why not to Detroit. I mean,
Speaker 1: if people are telling DJ Jordan Davis is going in
Speaker 1: the first I don't know where, but he is going
Speaker 1: to be a first rounder, he probably kind of wants
Speaker 1: to cover his butt a little bit and be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I had him in my in my first round. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know that. Yeah, I just don't
Speaker 1: see that as being a great fit. No, they just
Speaker 1: need everything else. Like I can see the Chiefs taking
Speaker 1: him if he's still there at that point, yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: plug him in there. You know, they can't stop anybody
Speaker 1: from running the ball. The only thing is the power. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the only thing that stops people from running the ball
Speaker 1: against them. Is their offense when they're losing by twenty right,
Speaker 1: yeah right, I mean and even we've talked about this
Speaker 1: a lot. They have a lot of free agents. I
Speaker 1: think you said it was twenty four names, and one
Speaker 1: of them is the Nominidi guy, Derek Nomdy, who's the
Speaker 1: tackle type. You know, A lot. They need a lot.
Speaker 1: They're not, They're not a finished product by any stretch,
Speaker 1: but they have they have my homes, which helps. Oh.
Speaker 1: I don't think I was crying for him. I think
Speaker 1: they'll be just fine, but they need a lot. But
Speaker 1: that was Daniel Jeremiah's mock draft point too. Oh two point,
Speaker 1: I should say point to that would only be one
Speaker 1: fifth to a draft, I guess. But but Jeremiah, well,
Speaker 1: he'll I'm sure he's gonna update this coming out of
Speaker 1: the combine. A lot of people will next week. In fact,
Speaker 1: we'll do our last pre draft mock draft on Friday,
Speaker 1: pre uh pre combine. Um. Our schedule is a little
Speaker 1: different next week, so yeah, just a lot. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't think we'll do it. We won't do
Speaker 1: a show on Monday because we'll be traveling to the combine,
Speaker 1: then you get to hear us Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
Speaker 1: and Saturday. So a lot of a lot of good
Speaker 1: stuff to look forward to. We have a great time
Speaker 1: out there. We enjoy talking to everybody. Uh, sitting down
Speaker 1: and well you'll hear five straight hours of five hours
Speaker 1: a piece of of you, You and me and yeah
Speaker 1: Starks and west Ueller and Jerry Doo. Yeah. So be
