00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.360
Hello, everyone, Welcome to another edition of Hobby Quick Hits.
2
00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:09.439
This one, this episode and actually the next two are
3
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:13.359
going to be a little bit different. Recently, I was
4
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:18.519
at an event at the Baldwinsville, New York YMCA with
5
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:22.000
my friend Dan Tata. For those that don't know the
6
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.679
story about Dan Tutora, I used to do a Friday
7
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:29.960
morning show with him years and years ago before Sports
8
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.920
Cardination that melded sports cards in the sports world. And
9
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:37.439
it was when that when my schedule change and I
10
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.359
had to go back to work on Fridays. I used
11
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.280
to have Fridays off, and when my schedule change, had
12
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:47.000
to stop doing that show, and Sports Coordination was born.
13
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.159
He you know, in a way, he's the inspiration for
14
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:55.280
that show. We've remained friends. He's still doing what he does,
15
00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:01.359
which is sports broadcasting and journalism, especially on the local
16
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:06.159
level here in Syracuse with Syracuse covering Syracuse University, but
17
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:11.799
he does cover the Jacksonville Jaguars and other teams and
18
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:18.079
ACC Conference and others. So we were at an event
19
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.120
at the same time at the bald ones World Why
20
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.920
and we had some downtime and with the draft just ending,
21
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.400
we did a draft special, so we went a to
22
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.879
zene alphabetical order, covered all the draft picks by all
23
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.040
the teams and appearing on his network. He was kind
24
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.599
enough to share his audio with me, and so for
25
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.280
this episode. In the next two I'm going to air
26
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:55.400
those and we're gonna no hobby news segments, no product releases.
27
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.959
You can see the product releases at www dot Sports
28
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.280
Cardination podcast dot com. But just for sake of time,
29
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.079
there's gonna be a little bit longer episodes because we
30
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.960
really cover it pretty in depth. So if you're a
31
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.520
football nerd as i am, me and Dan are gonna
32
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:18.560
really chop up and review this draft team by team.
33
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.719
On part one, which is today, we are going to
34
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:26.719
cover the Arizona Cardinals to the Cincinnati Bengals. On Part two,
35
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.439
we're gonna do the Cleveland Browns, City Minnesota Vikings, and
36
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.719
part three we're gonna do the New England Patriots to
37
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:38.080
the Washington Commanders. So those three parts. This is Part
38
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.479
one again, no news, no product release schedule. We're gonna
39
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:48.479
get right into evaluating all the picks and breaking down
40
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:55.319
the draft. I want to thank Dan, Tata, Broadcast Media,
41
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.960
and the d DBTM network for allowing us to use
42

00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:09.680

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.199

or what have you. And then, like you said, the
63
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.400
NFL Draft I'm a huge NFL guy.
64
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.960
If you know, a steal A fan, but I followed
65
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:13.680
the whole league.
66
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.040
Yeah, and I'm coming to you as a Jaguar fan
67
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.759
and very happy that this morning I can say that
68
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:23.439
Trevor Penya is officially a Jaguar. So that's pretty cool
69
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.279
to be able to say that here this morning and
70
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.759
shout out to Trevor and obviously covered him while he
71
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.079
was here at Syracuse. I can probably say that I
72
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.480
was a fan of Trevor Penya before a lot of
73
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.439
people knew about his name, and I got to be
74
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.360
around his family and his mom has been absolutely wonderful
75
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.240
to me. So to Divina, if you're watching, if you're listening,
76
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.600
I appreciate you so very much, and thank you for
77
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.279
your love and support over the years.
78
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:48.519
I truly appreciate it.
79
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.560
So with that being said, Newman and I are going
80
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.160
to jump right into the first team in alphabetical order,
81
00:04:55.439 --> 00:05:00.000
the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals decided with the number three
82
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.279
overall pick to draft Jeremiah Love out of Notre Dame.
83
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:06.839
Running Backs have not been drafted high outside of Ashton
84
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.240
gent last year. In prior years, we were seeing them
85
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:11.759
drop to the end of the first round like a
86
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.519
Clyde Edwards Hilaire or into the second round Jeremiah Loved,
87
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.120
the highest drafted running back in recent history in the
88
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:22.600
top three, and then after that, Arizona goes offensive guard
89
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.600
and Chase Bisontes in the second round out of Texas
90
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:28.480
A and M. In the third round, they go with
91
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.240
Carson Beck out of Miami, which is interesting because they
92
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.959
need a quarterback right now. They have journeymen Jacoby Brissett
93
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.399
that I covered at NC State, but they do not
94
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.399
have Kyler Murray anymore. So I actually really like that pick.
95
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.439
Caleb Proctor out of Southeast Louisiana at d tackle, Reggie
96
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.800
Virgil out of Texas Tech and wide receiver. A lot
97
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.000
of Texas Tech players drafted in twenty twenty six, Carson
98
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:54.759
Carson Sharrar out of Iowa the linebacker, and Jaden Williams
99
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.600
in the seventh round out of Ole Miss at offensive tackle.
100
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.839
So let's assess the draft for Arizona. What are your
101
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.319
thoughts on them getting a quarterback getting Jeremiah Love whatso
102
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:04.920
O Brown take?
103
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:06.480
I like Love Dan.
104
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:11.279
I thought they went he went very high. I even heard,
105
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.800
you know, the rumor was four to Tennessee or six
106
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.639
May are we like, are we seeing the resurgence of
107
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.120
quarterbacks in the NFL? You know, they sort of became
108
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.680
the NFL became sort of like a running back like committee.
109
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.600
Most teams used two or three in their game plans
110
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.480
and in their games. But we're seeing, like you mentioned
111
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:37.439
Genty last year, six to the Raiders and now while
112
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:42.839
even higher to the Cardinals. I don't think we can
113
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.160
argue the talents there, it's just where is where they're
114
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:47.160
getting picked, right?
115
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.040
I thought that was high.
116
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:52.759
And what we saw last year with Genty was you
117
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.240
know that whether the talent's there or not, you got
118
00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.959
to have a decent offensive line if you're going to
119
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.560
make a young running back sort of the folk point
120
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.800
of your offense. And Genty had an up and down year,
121
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:06.759
but they're adding pieces.
122
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.439
Chip Kelly struggled, I think a little bit there. He's
123
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:11.680
not there anymore.
124
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.759
They got a new coaching staff this year with Kubac
125
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:16.800
coming in and.
126
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.800
Bringing his guys in. So and we see the very
127
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:20.879
next pick was.
128
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:25.319
Alignment that the Cardinals made Dan So, I think you're
129
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.439
trying to build, you know, something for love. I like
130
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:33.720
Perssett is he the long term answer. No, But that's
131
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.399
where the Carson back pick comes in. Maybe to be
132
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.680
groomed for a year or two behind percent. But if
133
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.360
you look at Brissett's year last year, he had some
134
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.199
big games. Again, I don't think he's the end ll
135
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:50.879
be all or or the franchise quarterback that every team
136
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.839
is trying to find. But I think for a year
137
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:59.040
or even maybe two years until Carson Beck is ready.
138
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.000
Yeah, you know, I think think Carson Beck is a
139
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:03.399
great pick up. Again, I mean, this is a guy
140
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:06.560
that I paid close attention to, to his story and
141
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:08.600
to who he is and what he's about. You know,
142
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.839
I had the opportunity to speak with him in my
143
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.560
coverage at the College Football Playoff, got to interview him
144
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.920
one on one, and you know, got to speak with
145
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:19.279
him about his faith, about his story, about his journey.
146
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.240
And you know, I've said this to people that don't
147
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:23.360
give the guy enough credit. I said, tell me another
148
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:27.199
quarterback that was in college football, was on a team
149
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:30.120
in a conference, went to a national championship in the
150
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.399
College Football Playoff, won a national championship in the season
151
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.840
that you were the quarterback there. Then you go through
152
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.720
an injury to your throwing side, and you rehab from
153
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.679
that injury, you go to another team, you bring that
154
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.919
team in a different conference to the College Football Playoff
155
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:47.279
National Championship game and.
156
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:48.879
Play again for a championship.
157
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.320
I think he's arguably he could very well be the
158
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.639
only guy to ever do that.
159
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:55.039
He might.
160
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.480
I think he's the only quarterback in the college Football
161
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.840
Playoff era to say that he brought two different teams
162
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.759
and two different conferences to the College Football Playoff National
163
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:04.879
Championship game.
164
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.159
And yet people don't talk about him enough.
165
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:10.200
And keep in mind, outside of the interception throwing with
166
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:12.799
about fifty six to fifty eight seconds left in the
167
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.240
National Championship at hard Rock Stadium in Miami, I'm there,
168
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.960
I'm watching it. He's throwing toward where I was sitting
169
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:22.200
with the media with a minute left to go in
170
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.679
the game. We're talking about this being a one possession
171
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.080
game against Indiana, who went undefeated. So I don't understand
172
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.200
why people didn't give Beck credit for what he did
173
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.120
at Georgia, what he did rehaving from an injury, going
174
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.720
to a new team, being with that team for one season,
175
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.360
going to the College Football Playoff National Championship, and being
176
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:40.679
within one possession with fifty eight seconds left to go
177
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.320
in the game. So I actually am a proponent for
178
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.200
Carson Beck, and I think that Arizona at some point
179
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.120
this season is going to lean on him, and I
180
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:49.879
think he's going to do some good things for that team.
181
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:53.360
I honestly believe in Carson Gap. He's got a skill set.
182
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.919
I mean, like you mentioned that championship game you're at,
183
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.159
who's going pro for throw and co to co? Yeah,
184
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:03.159
fifty one unpicked in Mendoza, And I'm not necessarily comparing
185
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.279
them when saying he should have been, you know, a
186
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:07.320
first round pick.
187
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.720
But the talent's there, right, you know, you don't you
188
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.320
don't get to a championship game, especially in today's day
189
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.279
and eight. We have to run the gauntlet in the playoffs.
190
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.639
It's not like they just named two teams and they're
191
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:25.600
playing Miami had to win what three four games in
192
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:29.039
the gauntlet, and he was the quarterback of those games.
193
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:32.240
And then like you said, uh, brow for with row
194
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:33.519
uh in a.
195
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.200
One possession game right down to the wire against an
196
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.519
Indiana team really made you a.
197
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.080
Cake off with most other teams. Uh so all year?
198
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.000
Yeah, So, I mean I think Carson Beck was a
199
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.919
big steal for them at the top of the third
200
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:51.320
round and Jeremiah Love. Is Jeremiah Love the question that
201
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.399
I have though? And I know they tried to do
202
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.360
something in the second round by getting chased Besantas Texas
203
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:59.399
a and m offensive guard. But the biggest issue that
204
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:01.399
I have with Area Zon is also the biggest issue
205
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.519
I have with the Raiders. Is it's great that you
206
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:05.720
have a quarterback that you bring in. It's great that
207
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:07.519
you have a running back and ash and Gent with
208
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:10.639
the Raiders, and now Jeremiah Love with Arizona. You have
209
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:14.360
Fernando Mendoza with the Raiders. You have Carson Beck with Arizona.
210
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:17.399
But do you have the offensive line that's going to
211
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:20.360
protect and allow these quarterbacks a time to throw? And
212
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.039
are they going to open up poles and create opportunities
213
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:25.799
for the running backs? This is I look at Arizona
214
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.399
like I look at Las Vegas, and I say to myself,
215
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.120
it's great to have skill players, but do you have
216
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.960
the offensive line to create the opportunities for those skill guys?
217
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.600
Because Marvin Harrison Junior, I didn't want to go to
218
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.360
Arizona two years ago because I didn't want to happen
219
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:42.960
what I think is happening, which is they're not a
220
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.840
good team at protection, so they're not good at getting
221
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.360
the ball out, so we haven't really seen him excel.
222
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.480
And is Jeremiah Love going to be putting the same time?
223
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:53.159
Yeah, I think I see Dan. I don't know how
224
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:56.320
you see it. I see a similar rookie season for
225
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:01.399
Love like Geny had last year. He's gonna have a
226
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.240
game where he breaks off a run and maybe even
227
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.759
takes kind of a bubble pass and breaks a couple tackle.
228
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:09.240
But I think he's gonna have.
229
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.159
A struggles because, like you said, they did, that line
230
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:17.120
is is not up the par to to really open
231
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.279
those holes on a consistent basis.
232
00:12:19.720 --> 00:12:22.759
Obviously, these guys are all professionals.
233
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.320
But they're different, you know, they're different rankings and levels
234
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.639
the talent. So once they get that line built up,
235
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:32.720
I think you'll see the.
236
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:34.679
Best that Love has to offer. But I think he's
237
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.440
gonna have an up and down rookie year.
238
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:40.159
But no one can argue that he you know, the
239
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:41.240
talent wasn't there.
240
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:42.200
And he was the best running.
241
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.320
But yeah, I mean that thing was if he had
242
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:47.960
fallen to Tennessee or the Giants. I believe that he
243
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.759
would have gone anywhere between three and five. Let's go
244
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.120
to Atlanta. As we go to alphabetical order here the
245
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:58.200
Atlanta Falcons. Avion Terrell, Clemson corner, joins his brother A J. Correll,
246
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:02.039
who also plays corner. They're both from Atlanta, Georgia. They're
247
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.320
families from Atlanta, Georgia. They're going to be playing for
248
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:08.679
the Atlanta Falcons together and Avion Terrell coming from Clemson.
249
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:12.600
So you see, the brothers have this story together growing
250
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.519
up in a place that now they're both going to
251
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:17.080
be playing in on the same team. This was an
252
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:20.720
amazing story, a really emotional story. The Falcons first pick
253
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.919
was not until the second round, kind of the midpoint
254
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.360
of the second round, and then Zachariah Branch. They got
255
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.720
out of Georgia at wide receiver, Kendall Daniels out Oklahoma, linebacker,
256
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.039
Antario Thompson out of Washington A D tackle, Harold Perkins
257
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:38.799
junior out of LSU at linebacker, and Ethan Oleanwa out
258
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.320
of Ohio State at offensive tackle in the seventh round.
259
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:43.879
So Atlanta really didn't have a lot of picks here.
260
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:45.440
They had one in the second one and the third
261
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.000
one and the fourth, none in the fifth, none in
262
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.159
the first, two in the sixth, one in the seventh.
263
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:52.919
But the story of Atlanta is you got two Atlanta guys,
264
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:56.519
brothers going to be on the same team playing together
265
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:59.639
in the NFL, which is dang near impossible when we
266
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:03.440
look at NFL history. So the Avian and Ajterrrell story
267
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:05.720
to me automatically makes me.
268
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:08.080
Want to watch it Lana this year. Yeah, like you.
269
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:10.200
Said, I don't even know if that's ever. Is that
270
00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:13.759
the first time that's happened. I know brothers have been
271
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.960
in the league. We think of the Barbers, but they
272
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.399
were on different teams Chandler and.
273
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.559
Arthur Jones from Union End to God and a different
274
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:25.320
and different teams. I've if it's happened before, I'm not
275
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:28.639
aware of it. So this is sort of history naked.
276
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:30.159
Do you think they do?
277
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.399
You think he was overdrafted because of the story, Like,
278
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.440
it's a great story. I don't know what his pre
279
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:41.159
draft ranking was today you think they maybe picked them
280
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.799
sooner just because of that. I love their second round
281
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:49.399
pick with Branch the receiver. They'll pair him with Drake London,
282
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:51.559
And if you look at the rest of the pick,
283
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:57.159
including throughout heavy defense. So I think what they're saying,
284
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.600
the message they're sending Dan is we believe the offense
285
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:01.799
we show we have here.
286
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:05.000
Yeah, we're just trying to upgrade to the defense. The
287
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:06.200
Matro offense.
288
00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.879
So well, the thing is they have weapons, right, we
289
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.039
know that they have weapons offensively, And I said last year,
290
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:16.279
Michael Pennick Junior coming into this team a couple of
291
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.519
years ago, but the last year being the starter at
292
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:21.759
the beginning of the season, I said with Michael Pennick Junior,
293
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.799
I believe that all of these guys we've been waiting
294
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.360
for are automatically going to have a better season because
295
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.200
I thought he'd get the ball out to more people
296
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.399
and make this offense more explosive. And he did in
297
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:36.679
the beginning, but then he's going in and out, and
298
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.000
then we saw Kirk Cousins coming in and out, and
299
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.679
ultimately the team was inconsistent. But the thing with Atlanta,
300
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:44.279
and I love the point that you made, and I'll
301
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:47.399
make two points here, Michael Pennick Junior. They brought in Tua,
302
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.000
so Tua is going to be there and if and
303
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:52.840
if Michael Pennix doesn't perform, Tua could become the starter.
304
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:55.519
But you've got v Jon Robinson, you bring in Brian
305
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.559
Robinson Junior, who was a Washington commander.
306
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.360
You have Drake one and Johan Dotson.
307
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:05.080
He has been in He's been with Washington, he's been
308
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:08.399
with Philly, now he's with Atlanta. Alamade's a chaus He's
309
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:10.279
a guy that I covered when he was a Virginia
310
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:13.559
cavalier in college. Got to interview him and Austin Hooper
311
00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:16.559
went all the way around and his back in Atlanta
312
00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:20.720
after Kyle Pitts leaves Atlanta. So, I mean, I'm sad
313
00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:23.399
to see Kyle go because I thought they were finally
314
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:26.000
seeing some output from him. Be more consistent with Michael
315
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:29.519
Pennix Junior. But I think you've got weapons. You get
316
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:32.759
a wide receiver and branch to help out London, to
317
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:35.559
help out Johan Dotson, and honestly, in my opinion, to
318
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.519
help out Zachaias because I think he's another weapon they have.
319
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:40.480
So you got three or four guys there. I would
320
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:45.159
say four. But Atlanta's not known for being a bruising defense.
321
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.240
It's been many years since anybody's been afraid of their defense.
322
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.679
So to your point, I think them saying let's take
323
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:55.039
care of offense, Well, let's go heavy defense outside of
324
00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:57.519
getting branch. I think that that is a message that
325
00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:59.919
they're sending that they have to go and find talent
326
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:02.559
that can finally put them in a place where they
327
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:05.119
don't have to outscore somebody, but that they can hold
328
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:05.599
someone down.
329
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:08.000
Yeah, they don't want to win games, try to win
330
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:09.640
games body to thirty five.
331
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:11.759
Yeah, which is what they typically have to do.
332
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:14.680
So let's take a look as we go in alphabetical
333
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.240
order here in our draft cover. It's here on Wakeup
334
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.720
Call with Dayan Torta, probably presented by gig Cards and
335
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:23.720
breaks inside of the Travel Great Lakes on the City Studios.
336
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:26.720
As we're here at a community event for the Balwinsville YMCA,
337
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:29.559
for the kids and everyone here in our community to
338
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:32.359
build it up together because central and up state New York.
339
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.160
You know how much we love you. Now, the Baltimore Ravens,
340
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:38.680
they get vega Iona I predicted this pick fourteenth overall
341
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.480
out of Penn State, offensive guard. Then Zion Young out
342
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:43.480
of Missouri goes in the second round of Baltimore and
343
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:46.319
edge rusher. Then they go wide receiver, third and fourth
344
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:49.960
round Jakobe Lane out of USC Elijah Surat, who I
345
00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.559
got to talk to from Indiana through his time and
346
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:55.880
had the opportunity to cover his story, which was a
347
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:57.400
lot of fun and he was great to talk to,
348
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.880
by the way. And then Matthew Hibner that I've covered
349
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:04.240
for many many years in SMU. I texted rtt Lashly
350
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.200
and we are both excited about Hivner going in the
351
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.960
fourth round, tight end going in the early part of
352
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:12.519
the fourth round or part of me later part of
353
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:14.799
the fourth round. And then in the fifth round, the
354
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.680
Ravens had three picks Chadler Rivers out of Duke Corner,
355
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.480
Josh Quavis out of Alabama, and tight end Adam Randall,
356
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:24.480
who I love because he's kind of He's a tall
357
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:27.039
running back who used to be a wide receiver, so
358
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:29.759
he can really be an explosive piece for Lamar Jackson
359
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:32.079
in the offense. Running back out of Clemson in the
360
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:34.799
fifth round. And then they go and get punter the
361
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:37.200
first punter off the board in the sixth round out
362
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.880
of Michigan State, Ryan Eckley. And then in the seventh
363
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:41.960
round they get Rashawn Benny out of Michigan at d
364
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:48.599
tackle and Evan Burns. Burns Bertson from Northwestern at offensive guard.
365
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.960
So Baltimore picked in every round. They had a ton
366
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.960
of picks. They went and helped their offensive line. They
367
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.839
got receivers that are young and ready to go. They
368
00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:00.720
got two tight ends, knowing that Isaiah light is gone,
369
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:02.839
and they know obviously.
370
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:04.640
That Mark Andrews is getting older and.
371
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.759
Hasn't been as consistent, and then they pull off what
372
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:09.839
I consider one of the best steals of the draft,
373
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:12.440
fifth round all purpose had him Randon.
374
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.279
Yeah, I think they You look at their their draft
375
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:19.079
and I think they sort of did the opposite of Atlanta. Right.
376
00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:23.799
Their defense was pretty pretty good, but they still added
377
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.559
some pieces there, but they really tried.
378
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.000
To add some weapons for Lamar Jacks.
379
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:32.000
And they drafted two tight ends because, like you said,
380
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.559
Andrews getting a little long in the two than likely
381
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:38.160
headed with Harbaugh to the Giants. So I think that,
382
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:41.240
you know, when's the last great wide receiver.
383
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:42.960
That Baltimore's really had, Right.
384
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:46.119
They've had some journeyman's or they have some guys that
385
00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:49.799
didn't really live up to expectation with Shaan Date and
386
00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:52.160
has been a little bit disappointing.
387
00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:57.359
Even Jay Flowers hasn't really lived up to what a
388
00:19:57.400 --> 00:19:59.119
lot of people thought they would be.
389
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:02.359
So they added they added some some receivers to the
390
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:07.200
receivering room between tight end and whiteouts. I think, do
391
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.119
you know they have a new obviously they have a
392
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:13.640
new coaching staff, wouldn't let him carbogo, So I think
393
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:17.160
they're trying to give Lamar Jackson some weapons, add some
394
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:20.720
depth to the defense to make a run in the
395
00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:23.519
ABC MO up north that I hope doesn't come.
396
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:25.559
To schools as a Steeler free.
397
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:28.839
Well, I think honestly, looking at their wide receiver corps,
398
00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:31.559
I think Elijah Surat could step in right away and
399
00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:34.000
become a number one guy. Yeah, really, I really do
400
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.160
think he has a good camp. He may very well
401
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:36.599
get there, man.
402
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:39.359
I think so because of the guys you know, and
403
00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:43.519
no offense to Debateman or Flowers. They just haven't neither
404
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:47.000
one that they've showed glimpses then, but they really haven't
405
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:50.519
been a guy who can rely on weekend a Gallas.
406
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:53.960
I think they're looking for Sarat to maybe hope we
407
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:57.559
fill fill that void again. He's going to be a
408
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:01.079
rookie of his first year. That's a lot of you
409
00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:04.480
know to put on his Yeah, uh, Pam and Jacobe Lane.
410
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:06.559
It's wide open because he's not a true number one,
411
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:08.400
and Rashad Bateman has been.
412
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:09.240
Wildly under RUMs.
413
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:11.920
Yeah, you know, and I also think, and I'm gonna
414
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:14.559
say this, I'm gonna predict this right now, Matthew Hebner
415
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.640
will have at least one touchdown as a rookie tight
416
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:18.480
end for the Ravens.
417
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:18.960
Yeah.
418
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:21.359
Then they you like the Steelers, they like they use
419
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:24.240
their tight end. So I wouldn't I wouldn't bet against
420
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:28.680
you there. I think that's uh, that's probably likely, not
421
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:29.799
Isaiah likely.
422
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.680
Likely to happen. Likely, yes, likely, but not that likely.
423
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:36.680
So let's go to Buffalo for all of our Bills
424
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:39.160
fans here in central and upstate New York and beyond
425
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:41.440
the Bills. Also, going by the way, for those of
426
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:43.799
you that think that Dabo Sweeney's out of it and
427
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:47.279
Clemson's out of it and they're not relevant anymore, Number one,
428
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.440
I've always disagreed with you. Number two. Love talking with Dabo.
429
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:52.720
I got to talk with him about his faith in God,
430
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.079
one on one man to man at this former at
431
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.799
the past ACC kickoff. Going into the season, I've covered
432
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:02.000
a lot a lot of these Clemson players have covered Clemson
433
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:05.400
for thirteen or fourteen years now and got to speak
434
00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:07.720
with Dabo about his faith and about a lot of
435
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.720
things over the years. So for those of you to
436
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:11.920
think that Clemson's out of it, just look at this
437
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:15.319
year's draft. And so when it comes to Buffalo, they
438
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:17.559
did not pick until the second round. They did what
439
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:20.480
they did in the same draft with Xavier Worthy, where
440
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:21.680
they had a draft pick, because.
441
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:25.000
They traded back. They kept trading back numerous times. I
442
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:25.599
don't know.
443
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:30.319
Why, I'm not the capital and they thought, yeah, there's
444
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:32.960
nobody we love. Let's get a little bit of capital.
445
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:35.519
Let's add a pick at a pick, add two picks.
446
00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:37.680
But they did this in the Xavier Worthy draft, they
447
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:40.599
had a pick in the twenties. They traded with Kansas City.
448
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:43.440
They traded down three times, eventually a fourth time to
449
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:45.440
trade out. And they did the same thing in this
450
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:47.559
year's draft. They traded right out of the first round to.
451
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:49.480
The top of the second. So I'll go with theory
452
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:49.960
out there.
453
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:52.920
You think they trade out of the first round because
454
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:55.119
they don't want to make a bad first round pick.
455
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:57.880
I think it's more to get capital, or maybe there's
456
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.880
nobody they loved. At that time, I thought that they
457
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.880
should pick up another wide receiver. I'm not sold on
458
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:07.240
DJ Moore. I like DJA, you like DJ Moore, but
459
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:10.319
why so here's my question. I love d gaymore.
460
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.160
Yeah, but how come like he keeps bouncing around the league,
461
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:18.640
Like if you look at his numbers, Yeah, he's a
462
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.119
he's a solid, he's a I believe he's a wide
463
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:24.519
receiver one yeah, in healthy.
464
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:28.039
So DJ Moore was a rookie in twenty eighteen nineteen,
465
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:30.920
he had seven hundred and eighty eight yards two touchdowns,
466
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:33.400
and then he had three straight seasons of not one
467
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.759
thousand yards, three straight seasons of eleven hundred plus so
468
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:39.720
more than a thousand with Carolina, and then eight hundred
469
00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:42.440
and eighty eight in his last season with Carolina. First
470
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:45.160
season in Chicago one thy three hundred and sixty four,
471
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:47.960
then nine to sixty six, this past season six eighty two.
472
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:50.799
DJ Moore is a guy that if I have him
473
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:53.599
on my fantasy team, I feel like week by week
474
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:56.160
he's not consistent. But at the end of the season
475
00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:59.799
we see that he's been a thout eleven hundred plus
476
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:01.640
wide receiver four.
477
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:03.480
Times since twenty eighteen.
478
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.400
So his numbers are a lot better than I always
479
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:10.079
remember them to be because I think week by week
480
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:13.200
he kind of like Appeers disappears a Peers disappears. So
481
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:15.759
I think in the week by week analysis, I'm not
482
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.960
a big fan of djmore week by week, but overall
483
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:21.559
output of the season, he's shown that he can do it.
484
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:24.039
I just don't know if he's shown me that he's
485
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:27.240
my consistent guy that I'm gonna go to at the
486
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:29.359
end of the game if I need to win the game,
487
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:31.920
and I'm hoping that he can become that for Buffalo.
488
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:35.720
I think he's a better receiver than when there's a
489
00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:39.640
wide receiver two that can take some of the coverage
490
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:44.279
off of Like taking Carolina, they didn't really have that,
491
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:48.440
and even in Chicago, you know that was an issue
492
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.119
at times, like who was that other guy? When you
493
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.359
don't have that other guy that's a threat, you're gonna
494
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:58.200
get double covered, you're gonna get chipped at the line
495
00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:01.839
of scrimmage. I like him, but again he's now he's
496
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:04.920
in Buffalo, and like, who's who's gonna be.
497
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:07.839
The guy that sort of takes the pressure off. Now
498
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:10.039
he's the wide receive one in Buffalo.
499
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:13.440
Well, Who's the two that's gonna like help him out
500
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:15.000
to get open?
501
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:18.559
So well, the question becomes, is it Khalel Shakir, Is
502
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:21.680
it Josh Palmer, is it Kean Coleman, or hold.
503
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:22.400
On for me? Here?
504
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:24.480
Is it a guy who I think it can be
505
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.759
fourth round picked by the Bills, Skyler Bell out of Yukon,
506
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:30.200
who I get to vote in the Biletnikoff Award for
507
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.799
the top wide receiver in all of college football. And
508
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:36.039
I get to do this from year to year by
509
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:38.640
the grace of God and thank you to the Bletnikoff
510
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:41.759
Award committee. Skyler Bell was on that list, and he
511
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:44.400
kept staying on that short list as we got closer51200:25:44.440 --> 00:25:47.400
and closer to deciding who it was, which eventually became51300:25:47.400 --> 00:25:50.480
the Kayle Lemon out of USC. But when I saw51400:25:50.519 --> 00:25:54.519
that the Bills drafted Skyler Bell, my brain automatically was like,51500:25:55.000 --> 00:25:57.599
he could step in and immediately be the two or51600:25:57.599 --> 00:26:00.400
the three. And if he can take pressure off of51700:26:00.480 --> 00:26:04.759
DJ Moore, then Khalil Shakir maybe can become a true three,51800:26:04.799 --> 00:26:05.880
which is what I think he is.51900:26:06.039 --> 00:26:07.200
Yeah, I agree with that.52000:26:08.119 --> 00:26:10.880
I'm looking at the they have ten picks dan in52100:26:11.039 --> 00:26:13.440
one wide receiver that's a little surprising.52200:26:13.680 --> 00:26:17.119
And I know Bell's very good, but when your receiver52300:26:17.319 --> 00:26:19.720
room is not super strong.52400:26:20.160 --> 00:26:23.079
Like I thought, they'd take a flyer out of another receiver,52500:26:23.359 --> 00:26:24.880
especially when you have head picks.52600:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.519
Well, the Jaguars got a bunch of receivers, a bunch52700:26:27.559 --> 00:26:29.039
of tight ends, and I don't think they need it.52800:26:29.400 --> 00:26:32.759
But the bills, I mean, McCole Harmon didn't pan out52900:26:32.759 --> 00:26:35.200
with the chiefs Kean Coleman hasn't panned out with the53000:26:35.200 --> 00:26:35.599
bells On.53100:26:36.359 --> 00:26:38.799
He's on his way out right with what we saw53200:26:38.839 --> 00:26:39.920
in the opposite.53300:26:39.480 --> 00:26:43.240
Of Josh Palmer's bounced around like I don't I don't see.53400:26:43.319 --> 00:26:46.039
I feel like you maybe have a one in Dj Moore,53500:26:46.559 --> 00:26:49.160
you got a three in Khalil Shakir, and you have53600:26:49.240 --> 00:26:51.880
to have Skyler Bell become the two unless you bring53700:26:51.920 --> 00:26:52.680
in somebody else.53800:26:52.799 --> 00:26:55.799
And then you look at the depth chart a bunch53900:26:55.839 --> 00:26:58.039
of you know, lesser names.54000:26:57.759 --> 00:26:58.359
If you will.54100:26:58.839 --> 00:27:00.640
The fact that A get a I go back to54200:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.079
a ten pick to one receiver cake and that one54300:27:04.440 --> 00:27:06.480
surprises me. Like you said, you have the teams like54400:27:06.519 --> 00:27:09.440
the Dad was another team who will have more in their.54500:27:09.319 --> 00:27:12.160
Wide receiver room when they've still added to it like,54600:27:12.279 --> 00:27:14.720
I don't know if the Bills have a little more54700:27:14.759 --> 00:27:17.119
faith in some of those names. We didn't mention it,54800:27:17.480 --> 00:27:20.599
but I thought they'd go with two or three receivers54900:27:20.599 --> 00:27:21.880
with a ten pick draft.55000:27:22.079 --> 00:27:24.240
Well, I'll tell you this, and if you are in55100:27:24.319 --> 00:27:26.640
my fantasy draft this year, I hope you forget this55200:27:26.720 --> 00:27:28.960
after I say it. I'm probably gonna take a flyer55300:27:28.960 --> 00:27:31.720
on Skyler Bell late in the draft. So the Bills tank.55400:27:32.039 --> 00:27:34.759
They don't draft until the second round because they traded down,55500:27:35.119 --> 00:27:37.119
so they drafted in the first part of the second55600:27:37.200 --> 00:27:39.480
round and in the second part of the second round,55700:27:39.480 --> 00:27:40.960
so they drafted the top of the second round the55800:27:41.000 --> 00:27:41.720
end of the second round.55900:27:42.039 --> 00:27:43.279
Then they did not draft.56000:27:43.039 --> 00:27:45.319
In the third, fourth, They had part of me three56100:27:45.400 --> 00:27:47.880
in the fourth, two in the fifth, none in the sixth, three,56200:27:47.880 --> 00:27:48.440
and the seventh.56300:27:48.680 --> 00:27:49.519
They drafted T J.56400:27:49.759 --> 00:27:53.200
Parker out of Clemson edge rusher as their first pick56500:27:53.480 --> 00:27:55.519
of the twenty twenty six NFL drafted the top of56600:27:55.559 --> 00:27:59.359
the second round, and then Davison aig Banunson out of56700:27:59.440 --> 00:28:02.400
Ohio State cornerback, and then in the fourth round they56800:28:02.480 --> 00:28:05.279
got Jude Bowery out of Boston College at offensive tackle.56900:28:05.559 --> 00:28:07.880
Skyler Bell, who we mentioned in fourth round Ukon wide57000:28:07.880 --> 00:28:10.880
receiver and also in the first round for fourth round57100:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.880
Caleb l Arms or TCU linebacker, Jalen Kilgore out of57200:28:15.880 --> 00:28:18.799
South Carolina at safety in the fifth round, Zane Durant57300:28:18.799 --> 00:28:20.839
out of Penn State a tackle on the fifth round,57400:28:21.200 --> 00:28:25.079
Toriano Pride, junior out of Missouri cornerback in the seventh round,57500:28:25.440 --> 00:28:29.119
Tommy Doman Florida punter in the seventh round who probably57600:28:29.160 --> 00:28:31.799
had more yards than most of the quarterbacks in Florida recently,57700:28:32.200 --> 00:28:35.000
and then out of Texas a and m Armage Reed57800:28:35.079 --> 00:28:39.720
Adams offensive guard. So they went to offensive linemen. They57900:28:39.759 --> 00:28:44.440
went too d linemen. They addressed the cornerback situation for58000:28:44.480 --> 00:28:47.720
what you would imagine to be maybe some death. They're58100:28:47.759 --> 00:28:50.200
bringing in a punter, which you don't draft a punter58200:28:50.559 --> 00:28:52.920
unless you actually feel like he's going to be your58300:28:52.920 --> 00:28:54.359
potential starter week one.58400:28:54.880 --> 00:28:56.400
And then you know they went after.58500:28:56.240 --> 00:28:58.799
A safety in kill Gore, who I think you know58600:28:58.920 --> 00:29:00.880
is a name dropping to the fifth round could be58700:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.960
really good for them. And I mean they they leaned58800:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.000
on their defense more than anything else and then did58900:29:07.000 --> 00:29:08.480
a little bit of work with their offensive.59000:29:08.759 --> 00:29:11.839
Yeah, I'm looking at the draft their draft board here.59100:29:12.440 --> 00:29:15.559
Like you said, I think they beefed up the offensive line. Obviously,59200:29:16.160 --> 00:29:18.880
they try to keep Josh Allen a little bit cleaner.59300:29:19.400 --> 00:29:22.599
When he's your franchise quarterback, he goes down, so go59400:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.160
to your season, and then they went during this year,59500:29:26.240 --> 00:29:28.480
ay times you got and then they went defense. I59600:29:28.839 --> 00:29:32.359
thought they try to add a little more weaponry to59700:29:32.720 --> 00:29:36.119
for Allen, but I think they feel like the addition59800:29:36.240 --> 00:29:39.960
of DJ Moore may be enough. Obviously, have James Cook59900:29:40.559 --> 00:29:43.960
already there and there they're there. They use their tight60000:29:44.039 --> 00:29:47.240
ends as well with with Kin Kaid and not so60100:29:47.920 --> 00:29:50.960
I think they feel like they have enough offense adding60200:29:51.359 --> 00:29:54.359
more in bell and then they kind of beefed up60300:29:54.400 --> 00:29:55.400
their defense.60400:29:55.519 --> 00:29:58.640
Yeah, and they definitely, as you look at the Jets heart,60500:29:58.920 --> 00:30:01.160
they need to fill in some hole on the offensive line.60600:30:01.200 --> 00:30:02.839
So it's good that they try to assess that a60700:30:02.839 --> 00:30:05.640
little bit in the draft. Going in alphabetical order in60800:30:05.720 --> 00:30:08.599
the twenty twenty six NFL Draft results and also talking60900:30:08.640 --> 00:30:11.240
about undrafted free agents. At the end, We're happy to61000:30:11.240 --> 00:30:13.400
be here on Wake Up Call with Dan tor Torah61100:30:13.440 --> 00:30:15.839
inside the Travel Great Lakes on the City Studios. John61200:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.200
Newman joins me from Sports Cardination Podcast. This is like61300:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.920
when you have the two shows like this is when61400:30:22.920 --> 00:30:25.440
you have Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens and61500:30:25.480 --> 00:30:29.000
then the sitcoms have the people go onto each other shows.61600:30:29.240 --> 00:30:31.680
That's what's happening here. It's the bonding of the two61700:30:31.759 --> 00:30:34.519
at Sports Cardination and of course here on Wake Up61800:30:34.519 --> 00:30:37.079
Call with Dan tor Torah. We're at the Balwinsville YMCA61900:30:37.200 --> 00:30:39.599
for a community event for the kids and happy to62000:30:39.640 --> 00:30:43.240
be here with you, proudly presented exclusively by GGI Cards62100:30:43.240 --> 00:30:46.200
and Breaks. So let's get into Carolina. Carolina, I had62200:30:46.240 --> 00:30:49.640
a pick in the first, one in the first, second, third, fourth, fifths,62300:30:49.680 --> 00:30:51.480
two in the fifth, none in the sixth, one, and62400:30:51.519 --> 00:30:55.480
the seventh they had Monroe Frielan, who when I was62500:30:55.519 --> 00:30:58.960
doing my prediction for the NFL draft, I had him62600:30:59.000 --> 00:31:02.160
going some wearing my first round mock draft around this62700:31:02.319 --> 00:31:06.240
place with Carolina, so I'm not surprised. I thought Carolina62800:31:06.359 --> 00:31:10.200
might go tight end here, but Kenyan Sadik coming out62900:31:10.200 --> 00:31:13.920
of Oregon went early three picks before to the Jets,63000:31:13.920 --> 00:31:16.119
when I thought he would go to Carolina. When Roe63100:31:16.200 --> 00:31:19.039
Frieling is their first pick nineteenth overall out of Georgia63200:31:19.200 --> 00:31:22.519
offensive tackle, and then you look to protect Rice Young.63300:31:22.880 --> 00:31:25.000
In the second round, they get Lee Hunter, Texas tech63400:31:25.039 --> 00:31:27.359
D tackle, So they go O line D line in63500:31:27.400 --> 00:31:29.559
the first two rounds and then they go Chris Brazzl63600:31:29.759 --> 00:31:32.319
the second out of Tennessee at wide receiver in the63700:31:32.359 --> 00:31:35.559
third round, Will Ye the third in the fourth round63800:31:35.599 --> 00:31:38.480
out of Texas, A and m at corner. Sam Heckt63900:31:38.839 --> 00:31:41.039
Center out of Kansas State in the fifth round is64000:31:41.079 --> 00:31:45.279
a Key Wheatlee out of Penn State at safety in64100:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.279
their fifth round, and in the seventh round Jackson Kawach64200:31:48.440 --> 00:31:53.359
Miami of Ohio linebacker. So you see that they're assessing64300:31:53.400 --> 00:31:57.680
their defense strongly. They go O line D line and64400:31:57.680 --> 00:32:00.200
then they say, hey, what the heck, Let's bring in64500:32:00.240 --> 00:32:02.440
a wide receiver out of Tennessee and see if he64600:32:02.480 --> 00:32:03.200
can help our up.64700:32:03.279 --> 00:32:06.920
Chip. I like the Brall Brozelle pick I liked Freeday64800:32:07.599 --> 00:32:10.039
to give Bryce you some some protection.64900:32:10.720 --> 00:32:12.400
You know, you mentioned thinking they were going to go65000:32:12.440 --> 00:32:14.039
tight end. They never even picked one.65100:32:14.240 --> 00:32:16.480
Yeah, not only did they not pick one where you65200:32:16.599 --> 00:32:18.559
thought they were going, they never went.65300:32:18.839 --> 00:32:20.440
They never addressed. Uh.65400:32:21.880 --> 00:32:25.400
They have Jatavian Sanders who was drafted recently Tommy Tremble,65500:32:25.440 --> 00:32:27.680
who is the older brother of Jamie Tremble, who plays65600:32:27.680 --> 00:32:31.200
at Syracuse and has been shifted to linebacker but still65700:32:31.359 --> 00:32:34.279
is a tight end if they need him, Mitchell Evans,65800:32:34.359 --> 00:32:37.920
Felipe Franks who is a quarterback for Florida, James Mitchell,65900:32:38.039 --> 00:32:40.759
and Bryce Pierre. So they got a bunch of tight ends.66000:32:40.759 --> 00:32:46.000
But the thing is is, if Sanders isn't going to66100:32:46.039 --> 00:32:48.720
be a pass catching tight end, do you really have66200:32:49.160 --> 00:32:52.400
outside of blockers? I mean Tommy Tremble, I don't see66300:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.039
him as the guy that they're truly throwing the ball to.66400:32:55.519 --> 00:32:57.480
So the only one I see is like a throwing66500:32:57.519 --> 00:33:00.559
threat is Sanders. But outside of the I'm kind of66600:33:00.559 --> 00:33:03.960
scratching my head. Jimmy Horn junior, my buddy, Jason Lucas66700:33:04.119 --> 00:33:07.960
helped him to get recruited collegiately, and then Xavier Lagette66800:33:08.000 --> 00:33:09.880
still there. John Metchi the third has been all over66900:33:09.880 --> 00:33:14.559
the place, David Moore's bounced around, Jalen Cocher, Tenoroald McMillan.67000:33:14.599 --> 00:33:16.640
Outside of McMillan, who I thought would be a great67100:33:16.680 --> 00:33:18.799
rookie and have a great rookie season, which he did,67200:33:19.240 --> 00:33:22.519
outside of him, out of Arizona to Carolina last year.67300:33:22.759 --> 00:33:25.119
There is no wide receiver on this team that I67400:33:25.160 --> 00:33:27.960
would tell you to draft in fantasy or to lean on.67500:33:28.160 --> 00:33:31.119
So you know, Brizell might be the guy that they're67600:33:31.160 --> 00:33:32.599
really hoping steps up.67700:33:32.720 --> 00:33:34.119
I think that's what they say.67800:33:34.200 --> 00:33:38.440
And he is good, you know, and you know he67900:33:38.599 --> 00:33:41.599
probably slots in is the just based on what we68000:33:41.680 --> 00:33:45.359
saw like the wide receiver too, to take some of68100:33:45.400 --> 00:33:49.799
that pressure off of McMillan. I think the lack of68200:33:49.920 --> 00:33:54.440
drafting the tight end to me just says, hey, we're68300:33:54.480 --> 00:33:55.200
not really.68400:33:54.920 --> 00:33:58.079
Gonna use the tight ends like some teams, don't.68500:33:58.240 --> 00:34:00.119
You know what you see like a Bills team of68600:34:00.160 --> 00:34:03.119
the Steelers that do yeah, other teams that take the68700:34:03.160 --> 00:34:06.440
opposite approach, and like a tight end is not going68800:34:06.519 --> 00:34:09.800
to be a focal point of our offense anyway, so68900:34:09.960 --> 00:34:14.599
we're not going to draft it or or address it69000:34:15.000 --> 00:34:16.760
maybe like teams that utilize them.69100:34:16.840 --> 00:34:20.480
So Justavian Sanders played twenty nine games in his two69200:34:20.480 --> 00:34:23.079
seasons in the NFL. In those twenty nine games, he69300:34:23.119 --> 00:34:26.840
has sixty two catches and he was targeted.69400:34:26.440 --> 00:34:28.480
Seventy seven times. He has five.69500:34:28.360 --> 00:34:31.400
Hundred and thirty two yards in two seasons combined and69600:34:31.519 --> 00:34:35.320
only two touchdowns in two years, one per year, so69700:34:35.599 --> 00:34:37.679
they've already kind of proven they really don't use the69800:34:37.679 --> 00:34:39.480
tight end in the pass game. Yeah, I think they're69900:34:39.519 --> 00:34:41.519
gonna be crazy because breg Olsen used to be a70000:34:41.599 --> 00:34:42.280
reg element.70100:34:42.760 --> 00:34:44.880
I think they're just gonna use the tight end as70200:34:45.119 --> 00:34:50.639
basically another blocker for their running backs and Young to70300:34:50.679 --> 00:34:53.599
throw the ball to the receivers right and.70400:34:53.440 --> 00:34:56.159
And hoping that Jonathan Brooks, who was drafted last year70500:34:56.199 --> 00:34:58.800
can be healthy to be Hubbard. They have a j70600:34:59.000 --> 00:35:01.679
Dillon who I covered it Austin College who's bounced around,70700:35:02.079 --> 00:35:04.239
and then they have Trevor Etn, the younger brother of70800:35:04.320 --> 00:35:08.199
Travis Etn junior. So I mean there are elements on70900:35:08.239 --> 00:35:10.559
this team that can help them out. And Bryce Young71000:35:11.079 --> 00:35:14.480
did you know he had an uptick with Carolina after71100:35:14.519 --> 00:35:16.679
being the number one pick within the last few seasons71200:35:16.679 --> 00:35:19.960
in the entire NFL draft. He's getting better, but he71300:35:20.079 --> 00:35:23.119
needs more weapons of wide receiver. Again, he doesn't have71400:35:23.119 --> 00:35:25.599
a lot of pass catching tight ends, and he needs71500:35:25.639 --> 00:35:27.800
to see what this running back room is going to71600:35:27.880 --> 00:35:30.639
be like if it's healthy. Because Jonathan Brooks was supposed71700:35:30.639 --> 00:35:34.119
to be the guy drafted and step right in but71800:35:34.239 --> 00:35:34.719
he got hurt.71900:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.599
Yeah, And I thought they might even take another running72000:35:37.639 --> 00:35:40.760
back to add uh to that room, and they didn't.72100:35:40.840 --> 00:35:43.719
So some odds, I don't want to say odd but72200:35:44.159 --> 00:35:47.159
like the feeling in Brazil picks I love, Yeah, But72300:35:47.280 --> 00:35:50.239
after that, some definitely some head scratchers as far as72400:35:51.000 --> 00:35:54.239
I'm not against the players themselves with the positions that72500:35:54.320 --> 00:35:55.079
they draft with.72600:35:55.880 --> 00:35:58.960
Yeah, and then we go to an alphabetibal order assessing72700:35:59.000 --> 00:36:02.280
here Chica go Bears twenty fifth pick overall in the72800:36:02.320 --> 00:36:05.079
first round. They got a guy that I interviewed, loved72900:36:05.119 --> 00:36:07.400
talking with him, the type of human being he is,73000:36:07.440 --> 00:36:11.079
and how he speaks about his teammates, and just everything73100:36:11.119 --> 00:36:14.360
about him, the essence of Dylan Finnemon. I'm a really73200:36:14.360 --> 00:36:17.159
big fan of the safetyatta Oregon. The Bears get him73300:36:17.159 --> 00:36:19.280
to bolster up a defense they used to be scary73400:36:19.320 --> 00:36:21.920
but hasn't been in recent years. This is a team73500:36:22.280 --> 00:36:24.400
that had to play it from behind so many times73600:36:24.519 --> 00:36:28.519
last year, and Caleb Williams came through. I predicted that73700:36:28.559 --> 00:36:31.159
he would have a better sophomore than rookie season. He did,73800:36:31.559 --> 00:36:34.159
but this team was giving you a heart attack almost73900:36:34.239 --> 00:36:37.400
every single week because their defense couldn't stop anybody, and74000:36:37.440 --> 00:36:39.840
it was on Caleb in the offense. Now they go74100:36:39.920 --> 00:36:42.480
into this draft and they assess the defense in the74200:36:42.519 --> 00:36:44.519
back end of the draft, put in their first pick74300:36:44.519 --> 00:36:46.840
with Dylan Finnemon, and then in the second round they74400:36:46.840 --> 00:36:49.679
get Logan Jones center out of Iowa, and then they74500:36:49.719 --> 00:36:51.440
bring in a guy that I also have had on74600:36:51.480 --> 00:36:55.239
the show, really excited, arguably the best tight end in74700:36:55.280 --> 00:36:57.880
the draft, maybe out of Stanford to get Sam Roush,74800:36:58.199 --> 00:37:03.320
which Chicago with all due Chicago, is they are stealing74900:37:03.360 --> 00:37:06.000
tight ends and they are literally taking them away from75000:37:06.039 --> 00:37:09.679
the NFL. You've got Cole Comett, who is serviceable. You've75100:37:09.719 --> 00:37:13.480
got Coleston Lovelin, who was great last year as a rookie.75200:37:13.719 --> 00:37:15.760
Then you go and get Sam Rouch. And this is75300:37:15.800 --> 00:37:18.599
what you do sometimes when you're in fantasy football, is75400:37:18.599 --> 00:37:20.679
you draft people not to play them, but so you75500:37:20.760 --> 00:37:23.800
don't have to play against them. Chicago now has three75600:37:24.280 --> 00:37:26.480
tight ends that I think can be number one guys,75700:37:26.800 --> 00:37:29.159
which is great. It's gie to the credit to them.75800:37:29.000 --> 00:37:31.079
In their depth. And if they ever need to trade and.75900:37:31.119 --> 00:37:34.320
Need some trade bait, I'm wondering if one of those three,76000:37:34.400 --> 00:37:37.480
probably not Ralph, since they just dram I think Cole76100:37:37.519 --> 00:37:39.280
Comet's gonna be the odd man out.76200:37:39.360 --> 00:37:41.039
I don't think. I don't think they.76300:37:42.400 --> 00:37:45.519
I don't think they drafted Raush to keep all three76400:37:45.639 --> 00:37:48.400
like you just alluded to. So when they made the76500:37:48.519 --> 00:37:52.000
roush pick, I even said to myself watching the draft, like,76600:37:52.400 --> 00:37:53.760
they don't really need a tight end.76700:37:53.960 --> 00:37:58.519
Get I get the talent, but why draft a position76800:37:58.599 --> 00:38:00.800
you don't need so they can trade of Carolina.76900:38:00.880 --> 00:38:04.960
Yeah, maybe that's Chicago took advantage of Carolina in the77000:38:04.960 --> 00:38:08.639
past and it worked now. Zamon Thomas also drafted in77100:38:08.679 --> 00:38:12.079
the third round for Chicago wide receiver on lsu Malik77200:38:12.199 --> 00:38:15.400
Muhammad out of Texas corner in the fourth round, Keyshawn77300:38:15.440 --> 00:38:17.920
Elliott out of Arizona State linebacker in the fifth round,77400:38:18.239 --> 00:38:21.880
Jordan vander Vandenberg out of Georgia Tech, a name that77500:38:21.920 --> 00:38:24.000
I know d tackle in the sixth round, nobody in77600:38:24.039 --> 00:38:27.239
the seventh round for Chicago show. Chicago goes into the77700:38:27.320 --> 00:38:31.480
season with Caleb Williams in the backfield, DeAndre Swift, Kyle77800:38:31.760 --> 00:38:35.599
meneng Guy and then they have Romaduns a Luther Burden77900:38:35.760 --> 00:38:39.000
the third and obviously they need some help at wide receiver.78000:38:39.400 --> 00:38:40.920
Not a lot of household names.78100:38:40.719 --> 00:38:43.039
Which is why they get a guy like Xavion Thomas78200:38:43.280 --> 00:38:46.280
and maybe Sam Rousch. At tight end, you got Colston Lovelin,78300:38:46.280 --> 00:38:49.400
which is great. And then the son of the missile,78400:38:49.800 --> 00:38:55.360
kadre Ismael, his brother, his son, kadir Ismael is now78500:38:55.800 --> 00:38:59.079
shifted from wide receiver to tight end and he's a78600:38:59.079 --> 00:39:02.000
member of the Chicago Hopefully he won't make the team.78700:39:02.280 --> 00:39:04.280
But I mean, I'm looking at Chicago right now saying78800:39:04.519 --> 00:39:07.320
I like your backfield, I like your quarterback, I kind78900:39:07.320 --> 00:39:10.639
of like your wide receiver at one, but I don't79000:39:10.719 --> 00:39:13.400
like anything else after that. So they needed to get79100:39:13.400 --> 00:39:14.000
a wide receiver.79200:39:14.079 --> 00:39:14.519
They did.79300:39:14.840 --> 00:39:16.679
But this is also a team that throws to their79400:39:16.719 --> 00:39:19.559
tight end, so I would imagine that Roush and Lovelin79500:39:19.679 --> 00:39:22.360
are both gonna get looks as wide receivers even though79600:39:22.360 --> 00:39:22.920
they're tight end.79700:39:23.199 --> 00:39:26.960
Yeah, and and I know the wide receivers like a Dunda.79800:39:27.159 --> 00:39:29.119
I think he's ready to step up and be the79900:39:29.119 --> 00:39:32.400
wide receiver one. I like Luther Burden. If you watch80000:39:32.519 --> 00:39:36.880
the last half of last year, he sort of stepped80100:39:36.880 --> 00:39:39.480
it up. So I think they're they're not as bad80200:39:39.559 --> 00:39:42.440
off as wide receiver as we might think. Where they80300:39:42.519 --> 00:39:45.159
might look on paper, and like you just said, I80400:39:45.199 --> 00:39:47.280
think they're gonna lean on their tight end have the80500:39:47.400 --> 00:39:51.159
offense anyway they you know, they maybe they don't need80600:39:51.559 --> 00:39:55.880
as many receivers as a team that doesn't utilize tight end.80700:39:56.039 --> 00:39:59.199
Yeah, and then so I think Chicago definitely has the80800:39:59.239 --> 00:40:01.199
tight end wide re receiver help that it needs to80900:40:01.239 --> 00:40:02.960
put together a good receiving corps.81000:40:03.159 --> 00:40:04.239
We go to Cincinnati.81100:40:04.679 --> 00:40:06.440
They did not have a pick in the first round,81200:40:06.840 --> 00:40:09.199
and so the ninth pick of the second round they81300:40:09.199 --> 00:40:12.360
take Casius Howell, a guy who some had as one81400:40:12.400 --> 00:40:14.800
of those top edge rushers out of Texas.81500:40:14.480 --> 00:40:15.199
A and M.81600:40:15.320 --> 00:40:17.480
So he could be a steal for them there at81700:40:17.519 --> 00:40:20.000
the top of the second round. Keep in mind that81800:40:20.079 --> 00:40:23.199
they went back and forth with you know, their their81900:40:23.280 --> 00:40:26.679
recent their recent issues. Now, they brought in Dexter Lawrence82000:40:26.719 --> 00:40:31.239
on the defensive line, but they traded they traded away82100:40:31.280 --> 00:40:34.599
a defensive lineman and when they when they went and82200:40:34.719 --> 00:40:37.880
I mean, you look at bringing in Dexter Lawrence, but82300:40:38.000 --> 00:40:41.920
then also being in a situation where they ended up82400:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.400
losing one of their players. And so I mean the82500:40:45.440 --> 00:40:48.639
Bengals in their roster that they had for twenty twenty five,82600:40:48.719 --> 00:40:50.960
I want to go back to that roster and look82700:40:51.000 --> 00:40:53.719
at the depth chart for Cincinnati and what they had.82800:40:54.159 --> 00:40:57.599
So bringing in Dexter Lawrence now is a great move82900:40:57.679 --> 00:40:59.719
for them, and it's great for them to have that.83000:41:00.119 --> 00:41:02.559
Keep in mind, they gave up a pick, so they83100:41:02.559 --> 00:41:04.920
were going to draft in the first round. The Giants83200:41:04.920 --> 00:41:07.360
had the fifth pick. The Giants got the tenth pick83300:41:07.760 --> 00:41:11.000
thanks to the Dexter Lawrence trade, and then Cincinnati brings83400:41:11.039 --> 00:41:12.679
him in. He has two years, they give him a83500:41:12.679 --> 00:41:16.719
third year, so he's now extended for three years with Cincinnati,83600:41:17.000 --> 00:41:20.559
and in that extension, they paid him twenty eight million83700:41:20.719 --> 00:41:23.599
dollars to be a part of the team in that83800:41:23.760 --> 00:41:27.199
final year, which is kind of wild. But I want83900:41:27.199 --> 00:41:29.320
to go and I want to look at what they84000:41:29.480 --> 00:41:32.519
had and you know, I mean what they lost, because84100:41:32.599 --> 00:41:36.159
keep in mind that they were dealing with TJ Henderson84200:41:36.400 --> 00:41:38.639
and they were trying to figure out what to do84300:41:38.760 --> 00:41:41.320
with him and how he was going to fit. It's84400:41:41.360 --> 00:41:44.599
going to parton me, Trey Henderson, So they were dealing84500:41:44.599 --> 00:41:48.840
with Trey Henderson. They eventually let Trey go and he84600:41:49.000 --> 00:41:52.199
was going to potentially hold out last year. They let84700:41:52.280 --> 00:41:55.360
him go after this back and forth last year, they84800:41:55.480 --> 00:41:58.039
automatically make a move at the top of the second84900:41:58.079 --> 00:42:00.280
round to bring in an edge rusher, and they bring85000:42:00.320 --> 00:42:03.480
in Dexter Lawrence on the defensive line. So I think85100:42:03.719 --> 00:42:07.239
Cincinnati immediately was like, Okay, we don't have Trey, We're85200:42:07.280 --> 00:42:09.159
gonna go get Dexter that we believe in. We're gonna85300:42:09.159 --> 00:42:11.480
bring in Cashus Howe, and we're gonna make this thing85400:42:11.519 --> 00:42:14.559
work without Trey. And so I think going after that85500:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.480
need immediately state something that they were looking to do there.85600:42:17.679 --> 00:42:20.599
And then Tacario Davis in the third round, Washington corner85700:42:20.960 --> 00:42:24.079
Connor lou out of Auburn center in the fourth round,85800:42:24.400 --> 00:42:27.320
Kolby Young in the fourth round, a wide receiver out85900:42:27.320 --> 00:42:30.800
in Georgia, and then Duke center Brian Parker the second86000:42:30.800 --> 00:42:33.800
in the sixth round. And then they go Jack Injuries86100:42:33.880 --> 00:42:35.960
out of Texas at tight end in the seventh and86200:42:36.079 --> 00:42:40.639
Landon Robinson de tackle shifted there for them and out86300:42:40.639 --> 00:42:42.440
of Navy defensive lineman.86400:42:42.519 --> 00:42:43.360
He's been on the show.86500:42:43.400 --> 00:42:46.320
I sat next to him a few months back, Love86600:42:46.400 --> 00:42:49.360
Landon Robinson love covering him. In the seventh round of86700:42:49.400 --> 00:42:52.119
the twenty twenty six NFL Draft, not one but two86800:42:52.199 --> 00:42:56.000
service members were drafted both out of Navy and Eli86900:42:56.079 --> 00:42:59.239
Heidenreich going to the your Pittsburgh Steelers, and then Landon87000:42:59.320 --> 00:43:03.880
Robinson going to the Cincinnati Bengals, both in the AFC North.87100:43:03.960 --> 00:43:06.559
I love seeing these guys go for the military academy.87200:43:06.840 --> 00:43:09.719
The new rules allow you to defer your time so87300:43:09.760 --> 00:43:12.599
that you can chase an NFL career. I love the87400:43:12.679 --> 00:43:15.440
Landon Robinson pick. I think he's gonna make the team.87500:43:15.599 --> 00:43:18.079
I'm hoping the best for him. He's a fighter, he's87600:43:18.119 --> 00:43:20.440
awesome to talk to and just a great guy to87700:43:20.480 --> 00:43:24.599
be around, A very humble guy. So I love Cincinnati's draft.87800:43:24.880 --> 00:43:28.800
I love again that post Trey they go and they87900:43:28.800 --> 00:43:31.599
bring in Dexter, Lawrence and cashis how then they bring88000:43:31.639 --> 00:43:34.599
in Landon Robinson in the interior, and then they bring88100:43:34.639 --> 00:43:37.239
in two centers on their offensive line to try and88200:43:37.280 --> 00:43:40.280
help them out. And drafting two centers is obviously saying88300:43:40.519 --> 00:43:42.639
they don't believe in the center they have and they88400:43:42.679 --> 00:43:44.480
want to make sure that they have a competition going88500:43:44.519 --> 00:43:47.159
into camp for Joe Burrow, who's been hit and injured88600:43:47.199 --> 00:43:48.159
a couple times in a week.88700:43:48.280 --> 00:43:49.320
Here's what I'll say.88800:43:49.840 --> 00:43:53.239
I get the Lawrence acquisition Dan, but do you give88900:43:53.360 --> 00:43:57.079
up the tenth pick that's a high value pick.89000:43:57.280 --> 00:43:57.679
Yeah.89100:43:57.880 --> 00:44:01.360
Form when they made that trade, I just said I89200:44:01.840 --> 00:44:04.599
wouldn't have given up. I'm not saying you don't try89300:44:04.599 --> 00:44:08.440
to acquire him. I just think they gave up get him.89400:44:08.880 --> 00:44:12.320
One d agree you give up a top ten pack89500:44:12.679 --> 00:44:14.679
for a guy that's been in the league for a while.89600:44:15.360 --> 00:44:19.360
And you could have picked an end uh in the draft,89700:44:19.400 --> 00:44:22.480
maybe even with that tenth pick that was on the board.89800:44:24.400 --> 00:44:26.280
And and and if you pick them in.89900:44:26.239 --> 00:44:29.199
The draft, he's gonna cost you a lot less money90000:44:29.760 --> 00:44:32.639
uh than Dexter Lawrence is costing yourself.90100:44:32.880 --> 00:44:35.159
That move was a little bit of a head scratcher.90200:44:36.440 --> 00:44:39.800
I know they got Chase Brown, who who's a legit90300:44:40.239 --> 00:44:44.239
starting running back in the NFL. But death wise, I90400:44:44.239 --> 00:44:47.480
thought they would go and get another running back behind him.90500:44:47.599 --> 00:44:51.480
Because been all the longer the two I thought they'd90600:44:51.519 --> 00:44:55.760
get another younger back to kind of pair with Chase Brown.90700:44:55.800 --> 00:44:57.079
They didn't get a tight end.90800:44:57.199 --> 00:45:02.159
Yeah, Mike Osaki Andrew Sample are kind of your guys.90900:45:02.199 --> 00:45:03.960
But does either one of them wow you?91000:45:04.119 --> 00:45:07.000
And on the offensive line, I mean, they obviously need depth,91100:45:07.320 --> 00:45:09.880
so going center, maybe they'll shift one of those guys91200:45:09.880 --> 00:45:12.440
that they both play well to the one of the91300:45:12.480 --> 00:45:16.039
guard positions. But I mean they tried to bolster up91400:45:16.039 --> 00:45:17.880
their D line and their O line, which I think91500:45:17.960 --> 00:45:19.960
is great because that's how you build a championship, and91600:45:20.360 --> 00:45:23.400
Cincinnati struggled recently in the playoffs and then not making91700:45:23.400 --> 00:45:26.360
the playoffs. I like their wide receivers, but I think91800:45:26.480 --> 00:45:29.559
tight end or running back, to agree with you, would91900:45:29.599 --> 00:45:31.960
have made sense for them to go there at some point.92000:45:32.079 --> 00:45:34.320
Yeah, I just look at I thought they'd add a back.92100:45:34.360 --> 00:45:35.559
I know they added a.92200:45:35.519 --> 00:45:38.920
Receiver to the receiver, which I think the receivers are92300:45:39.000 --> 00:45:42.119
kind of set. I'm surprised that wasn't a running back92400:45:42.199 --> 00:45:44.079
pick rather than a receiver.92500:45:44.239 --> 00:45:46.159
But again, a lot of it has to do game.92600:45:46.239 --> 00:45:48.840
As you know, with the draft, who's left, who's still92700:45:48.880 --> 00:45:49.840
on the board.92800:45:49.920 --> 00:45:52.480
And maybe there wasn't a running back that they said,92900:45:52.880 --> 00:45:56.440
you know what, we like him enough, and so they93000:45:56.519 --> 00:45:59.119
I think it might be something they address, you know,93100:45:59.199 --> 00:45:59.960
with another.93200:45:59.760 --> 00:46:03.199
Team cut somebody to maybe pick up. Looking back in that.93300:46:03.840 --> 00:46:07.320
Yeah, but obviously getting the two centers and you're as93400:46:07.400 --> 00:46:10.679
rusher and bringing in Dexter, trying to help those offensive93500:46:10.679 --> 00:46:12.960
and defensive lines for Cincinnati all right.93600:46:12.840 --> 00:46:16.320
We're gonna stop the audio there with the completion of93700:46:16.320 --> 00:46:19.119
the Bengals. We're gonna be back with Part two in93800:46:19.159 --> 00:46:23.360
a couple of weeks, going Cleveland to Minnesota. I'm gonna93900:46:23.440 --> 00:46:27.320
keep the hobby Quickets every other week, even though this94000:46:27.400 --> 00:46:30.920
is all pre recorded, just to keep the same rhythm94100:46:31.039 --> 00:46:35.599
and release schedule. So Part two in a couple of weeks,94200:46:35.639 --> 00:46:39.000

hope you enjoyed this kind of different little content. We94400:46:42.079 --> 00:46:46.360
