00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.879
Hello, everyone, welcome to Hobby Quick Hits. And if you

2
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:08.759
heard the last episode re released, that was part one

3
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:13.880
of our NFL Draft breakdown special with Dan Tator, my

4
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:17.879
friend Dan and myself, and this will be part two

5
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:22.839
and known Dana Wiles, one of the inspirations why Sportscardination

6
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:28.440
podcasts exists, and we were at an event at a

7
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:33.119
local YMCA here in central New York and we started

8
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.520
recording and did a draft special the day after the draft.

9
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.520
And this is part two. So the last Hobby Quick

10
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.520
Hits we did Part one Arizona to Cincinnati. Today we're

11
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:49.039
covering the Cleveland Browns to the Minnesota Vikings. So no

12
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:54.799
no hobby news or product release calendar. Check out the

13
00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:01.560
product release calendar at www dot Sportscardnation podcast dot com.

14
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.480
Before we get Part two underway, I want to give

15
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.799
a shout out to said Dan Tator for letting us

16
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.680
use this audio on our own channel and check out

17
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.599
Wake Up Call with Dan Tatur on Dan Tatur Broadcast

18
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:21.319
Media and the DBTM network. And Dan does a lot

19
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:30.120
of different shows, sports, life, movies, all all across the board.

20
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.079
And glad to call my friends. So without further Ado,

21
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:39.519
let's get into part two of our NFL Draft breakdown.

22
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:40.280
Let's go to Cleveland.

23
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:45.280
Cleveland did something in this draft that was reminiscent of

24
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:48.599
the movie Draft Day where they call I think they

25
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.560
called up Kansas City, called their bluff and still got

26
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.239
what they wanted. And so this was Kevin Costner asked

27
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.040
to me, this was a perfect move by Cleveland, and

28
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:01.760
dare I say it one of the best moves, if

29
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.719
not the best move in the first round. You're drafting six,

30
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.239
Kansas City's on the phone, you get them to come

31
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.919
up from nine to six, take your sixth pick, you

32
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.759
move down three spots to nine, plus you get two

33
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.560
more picks in the twenty twenty six NFL Draft later

34
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.599
on in the draft, and you still get the guy

35
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:19.800
that I predicted they were gonna get anyways, which was

36
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:21.560
the first offensive tackle off the board.

37
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:22.680
Spencer Fanel.

38
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.360
Costner must have called the Browns and said, listen, you

39
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.719
didn't learn anything from the movie, About to teach you

40
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.360
again at Spencer Fano, no matter what, shout out to

41
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:34.240
Vonte Mack and Chadwick Boseman in Heaven. Spencer Fanno goes

42
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.280
out of Utah ninth overall offensive tackle, that was my prediction.

43
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.719
I also predicted the Casey Concepcion would go within the

44
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.840
first twenty six picks between I had him going twenty

45
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.479
six to the Bills. He goes twenty four to the

46
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:48.680
Browns out of Texas A and M, which I love.

47
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:50.719
Then they go in the top part of the second

48
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.000
round and take Denzel Boston out of Washington, a wide receiver.

49
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.840
I thought Cleveland definitely needed wide receivers because they got

50
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.199
guys that are longer in the tooth, and then bunch

51
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.840
of guys that are not household names. They go Concepcion

52
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.759
in Boston. I love it. They go to protect their quarterback,

53
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:07.919
which they got about twenty quarterbacks on the roster right

54
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.639
now with Fantom they added another one right and then

55
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:13.759
they did that, and then also in the second round,

56
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.520
in the later part, they get Emmanuel McNeil Warren out

57
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.639
of Toledo at safety, who's something had going in the

58
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:21.479
first round, Austin Barber out of Florida at o tackle

59
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.479
in the third round, and then in the fifth round

60
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.680
they have three picks. Parker Brailsford center out of Alabama.

61
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:31.000
They keep an Alabama teammate and linebacker Justin Jefferson, not

62
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.400
that justin Jefferson. And then they bring in Joe Royer,

63
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.759
a tight end out of Cincinnati, Taylor Green out of

64
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.319
Arkansas at quarterback with the first pick of the sixth round,

65
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.680
and then on a BYU Carson Ryan at tight end.

66
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.840
So if we look at Cleveland's depth chart, Cleveland brings

67
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.400
in two tight ends, where a hot commodity In this

68
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.800
year's draft. They had Harold Fannon Junior, who was a

69
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.159
great rookie tight end. He did a fantastic job. He

70
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.960
was in the passing game a lot, and arguably he

71
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:05.199
was like their first or second best passing option last

72
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.719
season at certain points. So why they brought in two

73
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.039
tight ends? I have no idea what I lost in

74
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:14.199
Juku lost, really don't because you have had Yeah.

75
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.600
Yeah, I think they did it for depth. I hate

76
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.319
that man. This hurts to say Dan being the Steelers

77
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:24.279
guy Cleveland. Really I would give a high draft grade

78
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.560
for Cleveland. George, I thought they uh, and that hurts

79
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:28.279
me to say.

80
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:30.800
Uh. Usually I don't get to say that, I get

81
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.360
to laugh at him. I can't laugh at him.

82
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:33.680
Uh.

83
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.279
This year they really made some great picks. Uh.

84
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.040
You know, they beefed up their offensive line to protect

85
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.839
most likely Shore Sanders. They added two whiteouts that are

86
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.040
both I think probably gonna be starters from day one.

87
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.319
Uh. And so you know they've improved their team. Uh.

88
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:54.600
You know.

89
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.680
And and if we're giving out a grades for the

90
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:01.040
drafty they would get again. It hurts to say, but

91
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.920
I'd give him a yeah.

92
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:06.199
I mean, they let go over their last couple of

93
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.680
years of Kareem Hunt. They let go of Nick Chubb,

94
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:10.680
who was often injured. While he was healthy was good,

95
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.120
but he was rarely healthy consistently. They bring in Quinn

96
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.800
Shawn Judkins last year. They bring in Dylan Sanderson last year,

97
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.240
so they got young running backs. They got Shador Sanders,

98
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.720
Dylan Gabriel, Deshaun Watson, and Talen Green at quarterback.

99
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:24.240
One of those guys is gonna get moved.

100
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:28.319
And then you got Jerry Judy in Malachi Corley who

101
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.560
was let go from the Jets within his rookie contracts.

102
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.319
So you got a young guy in Coraley, Casey Concepcion,

103
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.120
Denzel Boston are going to help right away. And they

104
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:39.680
don't have a left tackle, so you imagine Spencer Fanno

105
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.120
is going to become their left tackle immediately, and so

106
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.279
I mean, I think Cincinnati had a great draft. If

107
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.360
those wide receivers can step up. You've got young receivers,

108
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:53.279
young running backs, a young quarterback, young left tackle. This

109
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.959
is a Cleveland team that, if they drafted correctly over

110
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:58.399
the last two years, may be very good for a

111
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.360
very long time because there's not a lot of tread

112
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:00.959
on the tires.

113
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.040
They got a lot of starters in the draft, and

114
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:07.199
anytime you can say that you're doing something right. So

115
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:11.959
I like what they did. Unfortunately as a Steelers fan, but.

116
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:14.959
Yeah, they and their best draft was in the movie

117
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:16.879
Draft Day Now. It might be now that.

118
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.199
I think is they sort of put the movie behind

119
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:22.759
him and last year's straft was not good for them,

120
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:26.319
and I think that this year they said, we need

121
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.079
to really nail this, and I think they did.

122
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:30.920
Yeah, pretty close. Yeah.

123
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.040
Another team that I think did some good things in

124
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:35.879
the draft, going in alphabetical order, the Dallas Cowboys. The

125
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.519
Dallas Cowboys traded up one pick, which could have been

126
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.480
Miami calling their bluff. Get that phone call to Jerry

127
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:44.800
Jones and Miami goes, yeah, we got the eleventh pick.

128
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:45.720
We really like that guy.

129
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.360
Caleb Downs do you like them because we're gonna take them,

130
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.560
and so what do you want to do? So they

131
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:52.720
trade up one pick and I have people ask me,

132
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.480
why would you do that? Well, if Miami can call

133
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.120
your butt bluff and get you to move up and

134
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.639
give them not only the pick where I after you,

135
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.240
but something later in the draft, then they're going to

136
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.680
do something like that. So shout out to Miami for

137
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.240
maybe calling the bluff on Caleb Downs. This is the

138
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.720
most excited I've been for the Cowboys in drafting a

139
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.720
safety since Roy Williams that they had back in the day.

140
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.360
Ohio State's safety Caleb Downs eleventh pick overall. They traded

141
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.040
up one pick in the first round to get them.

142
00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.800
Then they drafted in the first round. They traded down

143
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.439
from twenty to twenty three to allow Makayle Lemon to

144
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.319
go to the Eagles, and they take the Eagles pick.

145
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.600
They trade down to twenty three, and they get Malachi

146
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.000
Lawrence out of UCF and edge rusher. I'm a big

147
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:42.120
fan of UCF and about that school getting the credit

148
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.079
that they deserve. Malachi Lawrence going for the edge at

149
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.800
the bottom part of the first round, going for a

150
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.720
safety in the top part of the first round, and

151
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.160
then in the third round when they drafted again, getting

152
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:59.279
Jayshawn Barham out of Michigan, another edge rusher. They're telling

153
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.040
you they want that defensive help to go up against

154
00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.920
Jaden Daniels and Washington, to go up against the prolific

155
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:08.959
offensive Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia and the now prolific offensive

156
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.360
Jackson Dark who has a lot of weapons and a

157
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.040
cam scataboo in the backfield that will hopefully be healthy

158
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.560
by the grace of gods. Fourth round, they get three

159
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:19.439
picks for the Cowboys, Drew Shelton out of Penn State

160
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:22.240
at O tackle out of Florida, Devin Moore at corner,

161
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.839
and then they get their third edge rusher of the

162
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:29.160
draft in LT Overton out of Alabama. Fourth round, and

163
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:31.839
then in the seventh round Anthony Smith out of East Carolina,

164
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.240
wide receiver. I'm a big fan of then a cover

165
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:36.639
East Carolina cover Anthony Smith. So shout out to Tim

166
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:40.440
Lovesee and his name come across my phone, and I mean,

167
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:44.360
Dallas told the world we need help on our d line.

168
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.879
We're gonna get a bunch of edge rushers. Maybe we

169
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.919
can use them in a hybrid linebacker DN format. So

170
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:52.440
we're gonna bring a bunch of guys in and let

171
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.440
them compete in Barrom, Lawrence and Overton, and we're definitely

172
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:00.360
gonna focus primarily on our defensive side of the ball

173
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:01.799
because we need to stop people.

174
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.559
I love the Caleb Dount Yeah. I like that.

175
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.639
They they they they love him and they did what

176
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:09.519
they had to do to get him right. And then

177
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:13.960
it's a it's a defensive centric draft for them. Matt

178
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:18.759
Eberfus got fired last year because they didn't perform, uh,

179
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.120
and now they're adding weapons to that defensive side of

180
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:27.320
the ball. So I think they've addressed some holes. You know,

181
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:29.559
they didn't draft the running back, but you know, when

182
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:32.320
you think about it, with Gabati Williams and Elie gave

183
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:37.320
us that wasn't a pressing knee. They have receivers, receivers

184
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.759
and also Lamb coming from Houston who they who just

185
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:44.559
got drafted recently, and a guy who came out last

186
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:46.919
year on a Clemson film, MafA and a couple of

187
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.720
years before Israel Evanakanda out of the pitt Panthers.

188
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.360
I think MafA might make this team. He might be

189
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:54.159
a third down back.

190
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.840
Yeah, So, you know, I know Williams has been around

191
00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.000
a little bit, but when he's healthy, he before very

192
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:03.000
well and it was great for that last year.

193
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:03.320
Yeah.

194
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:06.799
So I think they filled the needs that they needed

195
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.799
to fill, and you know, I think they're they're gonna

196
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.759
go if both defensive picks it, I think Dallas might

197
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.080
find himselves back in the playoffs.

198
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.320
Again after a little bit of a drought. Yeah.

199
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.080
I'm looking for those edge rushers to join Quinnon Williams

200
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.480
on the defensive guy that they got last year, and

201
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:27.879
Chavon Ravel junior. He joins his teammate Anthony Smith as

202
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.840
they're both from East Carolina and Shavn's been on the

203
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.759
show as well, a cornerback that was drafted last year.

204
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.120
So shout out to East Carolina finding their way to Arlington,

205
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.440
Texas to join the Dallas Cowboys together in our alphabetical

206
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.600
order assessment of the twenty twenty six NFL drafts. Here

207
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.840
on Wake Up Call with Dan tore Torre. I am

208
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.720
here with the host of the Sports Cardination podcast, John Newman,

209
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:53.039
and we are crossing our sitcoms to come to you today,

210
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.879
probably presented by gig Cards and Breaks Inside the Great

211
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:58.399
Lakes Honna City Travel Studios as we were at a

212
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:02.159
community event for the kids at the BYMCA. The Denver

213
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:06.879
Broncos do not draft until the third round. They get

214
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.039
Tyler and en On Yadam out of Texas A and

215
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.240
m at D tackle. They bring in Jonah Coleman Washington

216
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.480
running back in the fourth round, Cage Casey out of

217
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:20.039
Boise State O tackle in the fourth round, and then

218
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:25.759
Justin Jolly with Jolly Joelian Joly because I think I'm

219
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.279
sitting here, I'm like, I talked to Justin Joli, So

220
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.120
Justin Joey, my apologies. Justin he was on the show

221
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.039
at NC State at tight end going into this past season.

222
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:37.600
Justin Joli, I think is a steal at tight end

223
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.639
in the fifth round for Denver who needs a tight end.

224
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.519
And then in the seventh round they get Miles Scott

225
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:47.200
out of Illinois at safety, Dylan Bentley another tight end

226
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.200
out of Utah, so obviously they're showing you they're gonna

227
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.840
have a competition there. And mister irrelevant of this draft

228
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:56.000
pick number two fifty seven overall in the seventh round

229
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:01.399
out of Buffalo linebacker Red Murdoch going to the Broncos.

230
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.519
So the Broncos went all over the place. They went

231
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:08.639
on line, d line, tight end, safety, linebacker. They obviously

232
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.039
are gonna I mean, Jolie could be their starting tight

233
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:15.120
end at some point this season within the first few weeks.

234
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.759
I would imagine they have Havn Ingram who's long in

235
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:21.000
the tooth, Adam Troutman, who hasn't been a pass catching

236
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:23.399
tight end. I mean, I would think they bring in

237
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.159
the two tight ends to find a starter. They brought

238
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.639
in Jalen Wattle from Miami, they have Portland and Troy

239
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.480
Franklin has done very well as I thought he would

240
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.159
with bow Nicks because they were teammates at Oregon.

241
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.919
And then they got JK. Dobbins here on the team. RJ.

242
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.360
Harvey, who I think will step it up here if

243
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.399
you can get more consistent. So it makes sense that

244
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.440
they went to their tight ends because I think that

245
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.600
that is a definite need. And again, don't be surprised

246
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:54.399
if Justin Joelie ends up being a starter for them.

247
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.879
Another starter that they had within the last few years

248
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.559
out of NC State was Bradley Chubb on the defensive

249
00:12:59.559 --> 00:12:59.919
side of them.

250
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.399
Yeah, and I think they just added some depth.

251
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.759
Had one arguably one of the best defenses in the NFL,

252
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:08.879
so they just added some debt there.

253
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.960
I love the Jonah Coleman pick in the fourth round.

254
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:15.279
He's arguably one of the best running backs in the draft,

255
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.440
and so when you look I'm not trying to say

256
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.639
Jeremiah Love, but when you look at a level gets

257
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:25.000
picked third overall and you get Jonah Coleman in the

258
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:29.960
fourth round. I love that pick. Even though they have Harvey.

259
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:34.440
I think I think and we know JK. Dobbins gets

260
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:38.600
hurt quite often, so I think Coleman's gonna gonna get

261
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:44.519
some carries for for the Broncos along with RJ.

262
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.320
Harvey. And you get a guy like this in the

263
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.960
fourth round. I don't think he can argue.

264
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:53.320
And you mentioned Jonah Coleman and what you think you

265
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:56.120
think he's a steal in the fourth round. To your point,

266
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.639
he has gotten over eleven hundred yards from scrimmage in

267
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:03.159
three of his four seasons in college football. He was

268
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:06.399
twenty twenty two at Arizona. He had twelve games, three

269
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:09.159
hundred and seventy two yards, four touchdowns, three hundred and

270
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:12.799
ninety six yards cumulatively from scrimmage and then at Arizona

271
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:15.679
and in his second season thirteen games, eight hundred and

272
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.720
seventy one yards, five touchdowns eleven hundred and fifty four

273
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.559
yards from scrimmage when you include two hundred and eighty

274
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:25.759
three yards receiving. And then he transferred to Washington, and

275
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:29.039
with Washington in twenty twenty four thirteen games one hundred

276
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:31.799
and nine to three carries, one thousand and fifty three yards,

277
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.200
ten rushing touchdowns, twelve hundred and thirty yards from scrimmage,

278
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.200
and last season with Washington twelve games, one hundred and

279
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:41.759
fifty six carries, seven hundred and fifty eight yards, fifteen

280
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:45.720
rushing touchdowns eleven hundred and twelve yards from scrimmage and

281
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:49.039
two receiving touchdowns that he had, so he had twenty

282
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:52.960
five touchdowns rushing over the last two seasons, and in

283
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.279
the last two seasons both at Washington, he had over

284
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:57.399
twenty three hundred yards.

285
00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:59.159
And he got drafted in the fourth round.

286
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:03.000
To me, he was the in my rankings, he would

287
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.879
have been the second rank run after Love.

288
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:08.720
And I know he wasn't drafted as.

289
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:11.720
The second running back, but in my book he was

290
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:14.559
the second rank. And to get him in the fourth round.

291
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:18.039
You can't argue with the value there, No, not at all.

292
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:21.000
We go to Detroit and take a look at Detroit,

293
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:23.320
who didn't have a lot of picks. They had one

294
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.559
in the first second, none in the third, fourth, two

295
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.480
in the fifth, one in the sixth, one in the seventh.

296
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.000
The Detroit Lions did exactly what I thought that they

297
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:33.200
were gonna do. They just drafted this guy a little

298
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.600
bit sooner. Again, for those of you who think that

299
00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:38.639
Clemson's out of it, Blake Miller is one of many

300
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:43.120
Clemson players drafted thirty eight overall ACC players drafted in

301
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.279
the twenty twenty sixth NFL Draft, Blake Miller going out

302
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:49.960
of Clemson offensive tackle. I thought that we would see

303
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.960
Dan Campbell go O line, and he did. He went

304
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.759
to an offensive tackle seventeenth overall in the first round

305
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.600
with Blake Miller out of Clemson. Then he goes with

306
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:02.399
edge rusher Derek Moore out of Michigan earlier on in

307
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:05.200
the second round. So he goes O line D line,

308
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.480
no surprise to me. Then he takes a Michigan teammate

309
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:12.519
next to join more Jimmy Rolder out of Michigan at

310
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.039
linebacker and then in the fifth round he takes Keith

311
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:15.360
at Me.

312
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.240
The second out of Arizona State at corner.

313
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:20.960
He takes Kendrick Law in the fifth round Kentucky wide receiver,

314
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:25.080
and then he finishes off with two defensive linemen, Skyler

315
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:27.519
Gil Howard out of Texas Tech D tackle in the

316
00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:31.559
sixth round and Tyre West out of Tyree West, Tennessee

317
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.360
edge rusher in the seventh round. So he went O

318
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:39.240
line D line, linebacker, corner, wide receiver, D line, D line.

319
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:42.679
I am not surprised at all because Dan Campbell knows

320
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:46.360
you build a championship in the trenches. Detroit has not

321
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:48.679
figured out how to get through into the Super Bowl.

322
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:51.360
So he goes here and he goes and gets the

323
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:54.080
down and dirty, put your hands in the mud and

324
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:54.879
get after it.

325
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.679
Guys. This is a Dan Campbell draft. Yeah.

326
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.000
I think what you've seen here is they're like, hey,

327
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:04.599
we're good on offense, and our defense cost those playoffs

328
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:08.240
spot and so they addressed that in a major way.

329
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:10.839
You take out offensive linemen, and they.

330
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:15.200
Drafted only one offensive player and it was all defensive

331
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:17.880
guys after that, and they kind of stayed at home

332
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:21.720
with the two Michigan picks in the second and fourth

333
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:22.839
rounds back to back.

334
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.839
I thought Jim Harba might have taken Dereck Moore later

335
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.279
on in the first round for the Chargers to take

336
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.519
a Michigan guy and joining the old Michigan coach. But

337
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:35.440
he did take an edge rusher. He took a guy

338
00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:37.400
that fell to him in a key.

339
00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:39.359
Mesidor at twenty two, in which I was I was

340
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:44.640
hoping Pittsburgh when the whole lemon tobacco happened, I was

341
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:46.039
hoping they went Mesador.

342
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:51.599
They didn't, and we'll get to that hit through. Yeah.

343
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.680
The green Bay Packers, they didn't have a lot of picks.

344
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:56.480
They didn't pick until the second round, and they had

345
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:58.920
a second, third, fourth, fifth, and two in the sixth

346
00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:01.839
and none in the seventh. The Green Bay Packers, who

347
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:03.759
you would think would have to assess a lot of

348
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.039
things in a division where the Lions are good, the

349
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.400
Chicago Bears are better, and the Vikings are teetering whether

350
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:13.079
they a playoff team or not. Green Bay is gonna

351
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:16.039
have to get better. And what they did to address

352
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:21.519
they went all defense except for a kicker and a center.

353
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:23.000
So they go second round.

354
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:27.519
Brandon Sis out of South Carolina and if that is

355
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:30.200
a corner. In the third round, they went Chris McClellan

356
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.400
detach onto Missouri, Danny Dennis Sutton, Penn State head rusher

357
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:38.240
in the fourth round, and then Yager Burton, Kentucky center

358
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:41.359
in the fifth round, Demani Jackson, Alabama corner in the

359
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.440
sixth round, and Trey Smack place kicker.

360
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.480
I do too, he should be a defensive player, would

361
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:49.279
like to have a kick.

362
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:53.880
He should be, so Trey Smack, Florida placekicker. So Green Bay.

363
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:56.480
If we look at Green Bay as depth chart going

364
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:01.359
into camp, they have Jordan love Does and Cal McCord

365
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:05.799
former Syracuse quarterback, and then they have Josh Jacobs, Christopher Brooks,

366
00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:09.119
Marshawn Lloyd if he gets healthy here who was drafted recently,

367
00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:13.200
Christian Watson who's been wildly inconsistent, Matthew Golden who hasn't

368
00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.359
shown up, Jaden Reid who's been their best offensive wide

369
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:19.799
receiver in recent history, and then you got Tucker Craft

370
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.920
and Luke Musgrave who have been serviceable at tight end.

371
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.880
I mean, you ask yourself the question do they have

372
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.440
enough defensively which they were lacking depth, and do they

373
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.400
have enough offensively I feel like Green Bay should have

374
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:36.839
traded for picks, They should have gotten more capital, They

375
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:39.440
should have drafted in the first round. They were one

376
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:42.000
of the teams that had very little picks, six picks,

377
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:43.640
and they were one of the teams that I thought

378
00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:46.039
needed a lot more in the draft, and they ended

379
00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:48.480
up getting a lot less. And I don't mean by talent,

380
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:50.039
just not having a lot of draft captain.

381
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:55.319
Yeah, And I look at with their draft by position Dan, Yeah,

382
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:58.640
I don't think they addressed some need that. You know,

383
00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:02.039
you got Josh Jacobs running back, and then that room's

384
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.920
a little thin. They didn't draft a running back. I

385
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:08.680
do like their receiver room. I know it's underperformed. I

386
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:11.079
think the big key is Matthew Golden, who had a

387
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.599
terrible rookie season, almost nonexistent for being one of the

388
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:19.359
top receivers drafted last year. He's got to step his

389
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:22.680
game up. But I get why they didn't draft a receiver.

390
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:27.240
But they really did not draft much on offense. Actually,

391
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:30.119
they didn't draft any offense. And I don't know why

392
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:33.119
you wouldn't have drafted Yeah, I don't know why you

393
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:37.519
didn't draft a running back because after Jacobs, that room

394
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:40.920
is kind of thin, and then running back age Jacobs

395
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:44.759
is no spring chicken. I know he's still talented, but

396
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.480
I look at this draft and again I'm not impressed.

397
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:51.759
Like you said, I thought maybe they could acquire more picks,

398
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.079
make some different choices. If I was a Packers fan,

399
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:01.000
I don't think I would be feeling great right now.

400
00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:04.160
But you know they're smart guys in that room, so

401
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:07.519
maybe they feel like these additions to what they have

402
00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:10.440
will be enough to stay consistent.

403
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:11.319
Yeah.

404
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:14.480
Yeah, So, I mean, I mean, when we look at it,

405
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:17.880
I think that we're in a place right now where

406
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.359
the green Bay Packers have not really assessed a lot

407
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:24.799
of what they needed to assess. Going heavy defense and

408
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:28.880
then essentially believing Tray Smack can be your kicker week one.

409
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.359
I mean, that's all well and good. You need to

410
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:34.799
help your defense, But do they have enough weapons on offense?

411
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:37.359
Do they have a guy behind Jacobs at running back?

412
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:39.799
Do they have anybody consistent at wide receiver? Do they

413
00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:43.200
have anybody consistent at tight end? I mean, green Bay

414
00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:45.799
is I'll tell you this right now. They don't look

415
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:46.599
scary off of it.

416
00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:49.960
If you would have told me before the draft that

417
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:53.079
Green Bay is not going to really pick any skill

418
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:56.240
set positions running back, receivers or tight end.

419
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:58.079
Yeah, I would have tought you crazy.

420
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:01.359
That's a decade what Yeah, So I think we could

421
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:05.079
see Green Bay be potentially the worst team or third

422
00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:07.119
out of fourth in the NFC North at the end

423
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:10.319
of this season. The Houston Texans drafting the first round

424
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:13.519
twenty sixth overall and they take Keelan Rutledge out of

425
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:16.519
Georgia Tech. Shout out to those Georgia Tech players getting drafted,

426
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:19.160
and shout out to what Brent Key is doing at

427
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:22.720
Georgia Tech. Offensive guard there Kaden McDonald, who I thought

428
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.519
could be a first round pick, Houston steals him at

429
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:27.599
the top of the second round in my opinion, out

430
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:29.960
of Ohio State and de tackle. He was one of

431
00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:32.640
five Ohio State players to go to the draft and

432
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:36.079
be on site and Pitt there were sixteen players on site,

433
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.720
five of them from Ohio State, which was almost a

434
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:40.720
third of the players that were on site there.

435
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:41.960
So shout out to Ohio State.

436
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:44.519
And then Marlin Kleine out of Michigan tight end went

437
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:47.160
in the back part of the second round to Houston.

438
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:52.359
Then the Houston Texans got Fabeccimai wunwai wuu out of

439
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.279
Oklahoma offensive guard. Yeah, thank you out in the fourth

440
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:57.400
round of the top part.

441
00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:59.519
And then in the latter part of the fourth round.

442
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:03.359
After not draft team the third they got Wade Wudez Clemson,

443
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:06.559
Clemson the linebacker, and then in the fifth round Kamari

444
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:10.039
Ramsey out of the USC at safety Lewis Bond a wide

445
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.319
receiver in the sixth round which could be a steal

446
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:17.160
out of Boston College Fort Houston, and Aidan Fisher, Indiana linebacker,

447
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.279
another guy that I covered, they got him in the

448
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:22.400
seventh round. And right after the drafts they get a

449
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:27.960
speedster out of Colgate wide receiver Trayvon Saunders goes to Houston,

450
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:30.440
and immediately after the draft they get the guy who

451
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:33.759
could be their starting punter week one in Jack Stonehouse

452
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:36.480
out of Syracuse, who was an immediate phone call. So

453
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:39.160
I think Houston had a great draft, and I think

454
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:40.880
Houston had a great after draft.

455
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:41.759
Yeah.

456
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:44.920
And you see they went, uh, you know, with two

457
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.200
guards in the first four picks. I think, you know,

458
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:52.599
we saw Stroud under pressure, uh, trying to be a

459
00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:53.920
little turnover prone.

460
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.599
I think they want they want to buy him more time.

461
00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:00.440
I thought they might have addressed the receiver position a

462
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.960
little sooner than they did based on what they have,

463
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.039
But I did draft over all I think was.

464
00:24:08.680 --> 00:24:09.279
Solid.

465
00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:12.839
I think going offensive and defensive line speaks to again

466
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:16.160
Houston thinking like Detroit, wanting to win in the trenches.

467
00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:18.519
And in the words of Georgia O'Leary said to me

468
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:20.839
many years ago when he was the head coach at UCF,

469
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.519
if you don't build your team from the inside out,

470
00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:26.160
from the on line and d line out, then you

471
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:28.000
don't know how to win a championship and you should

472
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:32.279
probably do something else. And paraphrasing that conversation that we had.

473
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:35.680
So I think rut Ledge McDonald, if they pan out,

474
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:37.279
are going to be huge for them. I think Lewis

475
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:39.920
Bond is a steal and I love Aiden Fisher, a

476
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:42.920
linebacker out Indiana who could make the team after being

477
00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:45.960
drafted in the seventh round by the Houston Texans and

478
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:50.240
then Stonehouse bringing him in in Trayvon Saunders, Listen, Houston,

479
00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:53.200
in Travon Saunders, you could get a guy who gets

480
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:55.640
the ball out of the backfield, who's a wide receiver

481
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:57.680
or is going to be on special teams. For you

482
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:01.519
to join a receiving corps that needs help with Tank

483
00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:04.079
Dell who hasn't stayed healthy, and Eco Collins who hasn't

484
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:06.680
stayed healthy, Jaden Higgins who you don't know what you're

485
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:08.480
going to get out of him, and then a bunch

486
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:10.920
of guys that are not household names. I think Trayvon

487
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:13.759
can make the team. And I'm looking at the punter

488
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:17.680
here being Jack Stonehouse. Potentially, I think Houston's going to

489
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:20.240
be dangerous and if CJ. Stroud can be protected and

490
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:23.359
he can play well under center, I think Houston could

491
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:24.079
be a playoff team.

492
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:26.720
Again. Yeah, I think they will be.

493
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.039
It's just when they get there, right, Yeah, assuming they're

494
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:32.839
not playing the Steelers, which will be an easy win.

495
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.160
They you know, can they get over the hump?

496
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:40.720
And then we look at Indianapolis. Indianapolis finally got something

497
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:43.319
good out of Michael Pittman Jr. And then they let

498
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:46.160
him go. We have them, so that made no sense

499
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:49.920
to me whatsoever. Then Indy finally saw what they drafted

500
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:52.920
and then let it go. Indy did non draft until

501
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:55.359
the second round and late in the second round.

502
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:55.839
C J.

503
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:58.559
Allen, linebacker out of Georgia. In the third round.

504
00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:02.599
They get j Paulson, a LSU safety, Jalen Farmer in

505
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:05.759
the fourth round out of Kentucky offensive yard and then

506
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:09.799
they get Bryce Botcher out of Oregon, a guy that

507
00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:14.079
I covered at linebacker in the fourth round, George Gumms Junior,

508
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:16.680
one of my favorite names of the draft, Florida edge

509
00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:19.559
rusher in the fifth round, Kayden Curry and ed rusher

510
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:22.079
Ohio State in the sixth round. Then they go Seth

511
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:25.839
McGowan in the seventh round, running back out of Kentucky

512
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:31.279
to join Jonathan Taylor, and then Dion Burks a steal

513
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:34.279
in the seventh round, potentially Oklahoma wide receivers.

514
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:37.920
I like that seventh round, picked the value there, but

515
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:41.519
it was their only receiver they took. Yeah, you look

516
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.640
at their depth chart and I thought they'd picked a

517
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:48.400
couple of receivers, and that the first one being in

518
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:52.519
the seventh round. I know they got. They love Alex Peer, right,

519
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:55.799
who's a guy from Cincinnati who came up. Josh Towns,

520
00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:58.240
a guy from Carolina who came up. They brought in

521
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:01.880
Nick Westbrook at kind but none of these guys are true.

522
00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:02.559
Number ones right now.

523
00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:06.599
Oh, and you don't pick the receiver till their best receiver.

524
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:08.119
Is there a guy that they got out of Penn

525
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:10.279
State last year at tight endler Tyler Warren.

526
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:11.799
Yeah, who was a game chance.

527
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:16.640
So I'm not sure what's going on with the wide receivers.

528
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:17.640
I like Pearce.

529
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:20.240
He kind of takes the top off the defense, but

530
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:22.920
he's not a guy that's gonna catch. I don't see

531
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.279
him as a guy a wide receiver one in the

532
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:27.720
true sense of the word, where he's gonna catch six

533
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:32.039
or seven balls a game for ninety yards, one hundred yards.

534
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:34.839
You might have one, you might have a long play.

535
00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:38.960
I've got They sort of dropped the ball not addressing

536
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:43.079
receiver earlier, and like you said that, they trade. Yeah,

537
00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:47.319
although you got Taylor, Taylor's your work, your your bell cow.

538
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:51.039
I think wide receiver is still a need for them.

539
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:54.759
I think Burke's is coming into a good situation because

540
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:56.799
he's got a chance to get on the.

541
00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:59.079
Yeah, I think Burke's could get on the field like

542
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:01.359
he was drafted in the first couple of days, and

543
00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:04.640
seth mcgawan might make the team as well, because outside

544
00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:07.119
of DJ Diddens, who's gonna help you will be on

545
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:12.200
Jonathan Taylor. Let's go to my Jaguars, who totally confused

546
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:12.799
the hell out of me.

547
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:13.480
Once again.

548
00:28:13.839 --> 00:28:16.519
All they do is draft tight ends almost every single

549
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:19.599
year and then they let them go. They brought in

550
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:22.920
Brenton Strange within the last couple of years. He did well,

551
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.160
he was serviceable. He's still on the team. And then

552
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:28.519
they draft with their first pick in the second round.

553
00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:30.160
Keep in mind, they didn't have a first round pick,

554
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:32.799
I think for the first time ever, and that was

555
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:35.480
because of the draft last year to trade up from

556
00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:38.480
five to two to go and get the two way

557
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:40.960
player Travis Hunter. So they didn't have a pick in

558
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:43.960
the first round. They go and they get a second

559
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:46.759
round pick at the back half of the second round

560
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:49.920
out of Texas A and m tight end Nate borgch Kircher,

561
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:52.519
and I'm happy for Nate.

562
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:54.359
I'm confused by the pick.

563
00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:56.960
And then they get in the third round Albert Regis,

564
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:00.480
Nate's teammate out of Texas A and MFD tackle. They

565
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:04.200
go offensive guard Emmanuel Pregnon out of Oregon, and I

566
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:05.160
love that pick.

567
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:07.920
I love the pick. I like him a lot.

568
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:08.200
Well.

569
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:11.200
They needed help on their offensive line for a million years.

570
00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:13.880
They can never seem to keep an offensive line healthy.

571
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:17.000
They never have consistency and they never have depth. And

572
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:21.160
then the third round Jalen Husky, Maryland corner Wesley Williams,

573
00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.680
who I covered in college, Duke edge rusher in the

574
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:25.759
fourth round I think is a steal. And then they

575
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:28.839
get another freaking tight end in the fifth round at

576
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:32.599
Tanner Kozil out of Houston. Then they go wide receiver

577
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:35.319
Josh Cameron in the sixth round out of Baylor, wide

578
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:38.599
receiver CJ. Williams out of Stanford in the sixth round.

579
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:41.680
And then they go edge rusher out of Washington, Zach

580
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:44.559
Durfey in the seventh round. And then in the seventh

581
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.039
round their last pick for the Jaguars Parker Hughes, Middle

582
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.240
Tennessee linebacker Jacksonville. You have spent the better part of

583
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:56.440
the last five six seven years drafting tight ends and

584
00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:00.160
not keeping I have no idea why your first pick

585
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.079
of the twenty twenty six NFL Draft. When you can

586
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.400
assess linebacker, you can assess O line D line, you

587
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:11.400
can assess your dbs. Jacksonville should have went O line

588
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.000
D line. In my opinion, they have two guys on

589
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:17.039
the edge that are now going to have their hands

590
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:19.880
in the dirt. They had Trayvon Walker, who can be

591
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:22.880
a linebacker or a d ND. You've got josh hayinz Aalen,

592
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:25.079
who can be a linebacker or a d ND. You

593
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:27.279
have a guy that you let go of over the

594
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:30.000
last few seasons in Klebon chase On, who can be

595
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:32.920
a linebacker or a d N. Your hybrids are now

596
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:35.880
going to your d line, which means Foyer Aluakin has

597
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:39.519
no help at the linebacker position. Why you would not

598
00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:42.599
go for a linebacker with your first pick in the draft,

599
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:44.960
which is in the second round, your second pick in

600
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.240
the draft, go linebacker, Go linebacker heavy, go o line

601
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:50.599
d line. If you're not going to go linebacker, they

602
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:53.279
did not need a tight end. I have no idea

603
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:55.359
what they were thinking. And then to go and get

604
00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:59.839
wide receivers in the sixth rounds. Jacksonville, once again, you

605
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:03.000
have completely and utterly confused me.

606
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:04.200
Let me down.

607
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:07.319
And though you've had different gms in the history of

608
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:09.880
your team, it feels like you have the same general

609
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:12.480
manager when you continue to do things that make no

610
00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:16.720
sense to me. You have Brenton Strange, who proved to

611
00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:18.920
be a steal I know you may need some depth,

612
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:23.200
but again, beyond Foyer, Luikin, I don't know what you're

613
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:27.400
doing at the linebacker position. You se Abdula has been there,

614
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:31.079
but he hasn't been a starter. Jack Kaiser, you drafted recently.

615
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:34.640
There's not a lot of household household names. Travis Hunter

616
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.039
needs to be a corner because you don't need a

617
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:39.920
wide receiver. And I think that they got enough at

618
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:42.440
wide receiver at least in the top three guys, and

619
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:46.119
Brian Thomas junior, Jacoby Myers and Parker watching Washington.

620
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:47.680
I think he finally.

621
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:50.680
Came through and you got running backs and Laquin Allen junior,

622
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:53.799
Bagel two and Chris Rodriguez Junior who you brought in.

623
00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:57.079
So again, Jacksonville, you needed to go linebacker, O line,

624
00:31:57.160 --> 00:32:00.599
D line and defensive back, and you did not listen

625
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:03.680
to me at all. So I'll leave it open to

626
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:07.039
you because I'm flabbergasted right now.

627
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:12.759
Yeah, I don't understand the infatuation with tight ends.

628
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:14.039
And not even the efactuation.

629
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:17.119
But they let them go, they draft them, and then

630
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:18.400
they don't keep them.

631
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:22.039
And then they even had Ingram who actually played well

632
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:22.680
with the free.

633
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.519
Agent side, they let him go for nothing. They literally

634
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:27.359
let him go as a free agent. He is a

635
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:31.440
thousand yard tight end every single year if he stays healthy.

636
00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:33.079
He's a man of God. He's been on the show

637
00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:35.720
a ton. He's great to talk with. Awesome guy. Even

638
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:37.440
when I didn't do interviews with him, he would just

639
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:38.920
give me a hug in the locker room.

640
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:40.559
Just an awesome, awesome dude.

641
00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:43.880
The fact that they let him go for no draft capital,

642
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:47.359
no players, and then you got Benton Strange and then

643
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:51.039
you let all these other guys go Jacksonville, I am

644
00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:53.319
fully expecting you to take the two tight ends you

645
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:55.880
drafted and within the next three years they'll probably be

646
00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:58.359
on another team and you will have wasted these picks.

647
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:00.920
One. Yeah, I just I'm happy for Nate. I just

648
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:03.799
don't get Yeah. I don't know who. Like you said,

649
00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:06.200
I don't think it was a need, and they acted

650
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:07.079
as if it was.

651
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:10.960
Now, get a linebacker. If you're gonna move Trayvon and

652
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:15.079
Heinz Allen and make them defensive linemen, get a friggin

653
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:18.079
linebacker so Foya Lukan doesn't have to do it by himself.

654
00:33:18.359 --> 00:33:20.920
Let's go to Kansas City. Speaking of picks, I don't

655
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:24.599
understand Kansas City trades up from nine to six with Cleveland,

656
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:28.079
which we already agreed Cleveland stole this. Cleveland gets the

657
00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:29.680
pick that I thought they were gonna get at six

658
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:33.160
at nine, and Spencer Fano first offensive tackle off the board.

659
00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:36.079
They get two more picks from Kansas City and draft Capital.

660
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:38.599
Kansas City moves up to draft a guy that I

661
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:41.400
thought you could have gotten if you had traded down

662
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:46.039
in Mansor Delaney out of LSU at line at a cornerback.

663
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:49.039
Then they draft Peter Woods out of Clemson at d tackle.

664
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:52.119
Two first round picks, one early one late second round,

665
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:55.440
they get our Mason Thomas out of Oklahoma as an

666
00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:58.160
edge rusher. Then in the fourth round, after not drafting

667
00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:01.400
in the third, they get Jaden Kennedy safety out of Oregon.

668
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:05.319
Fifth round, they get Emmett Johnson, running back out of Nebraska,

669
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:08.480
after bringing in Super Bowl champion Kenneth Walker the third

670
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:11.360
out of Seattle, the best running back Kansas City's had

671
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:14.639
in five or six years. Then they get Cyrus Allen

672
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:17.880
fifth round pick out of Cincinnati, a wide receiver. And

673
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:20.199
then they don't draft into sixth and then they take

674
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:24.639
a guy who played through injury this year and somehow

675
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:28.639
is punished at LSU quarterback Derrick Nussmyer, who goes in

676
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:29.679
the seventh round.

677
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:30.800
Love to get your thoughts here.

678
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:34.960
Yeah, their best pick was Mason Thomas or Mason Thomas

679
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:36.599
in the second round.

680
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:40.519
I think that's their best pick. I get they.

681
00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:45.159
Don't need a quarterback with Mahomes dad, but I gets

682
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:48.119
Meyer was too much of value in the seventh round.

683
00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:51.519
And talk about a guy. It's not his fault, right,

684
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:54.360
he would have been probably a first or early second

685
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:57.280
round pick last year had he come out of school.

686
00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:00.920
He decided to stay in school. He's sort of got

687
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:05.599
punished for that decision. I was sort of hoping Pittsburgh

688
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:08.840
would have took a flyer with nut Meyer rather than

689
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:11.440
the guy that if they did pay.

690
00:35:11.840 --> 00:35:15.880
And you look at Garrett Nussmeyer, he played technically five

691
00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:20.159
years in college. He had three hundred and thirty seven

692
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:23.199
attempts two years ago. So you talked about if he

693
00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:26.360
had come out last year in twenty twenty four for LSU,

694
00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:30.400
thirteen games, three hundred and thirty seven completions, five hundred

695
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:33.360
and twenty five attempts, sixty four point two percent completion

696
00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:39.480
percentage four thousand, fifty two yards, twenty nine touchdowns, twelve interceptions,

697
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:43.280
and overall in his time at LSU, he had seven

698
00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:47.199
six hundred and ninety nine yards, six hundred and sixty

699
00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:51.800
completions and a sixty four percent completion percentage fifty two

700
00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:55.920
passing touchdowns to twenty four interceptions. But somehow he gets

701
00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:59.400
punished playing through a season where he allegedly was playing

702
00:35:59.440 --> 00:35:59.960
through injury.

703
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:00.639
Who's hurt?

704
00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:04.599
He only played nine games, so you when the guy

705
00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:08.239
was hurt even longer. Yeah, when the guy's hurt and

706
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:11.920
it's not a career ending injury as this isn't look

707
00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:15.280
at the twenty twenty four year and that's that's the

708
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:19.239
value you're you're still getting. So it's a great pick

709
00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:23.719
in the seventh round. They were quarterbacks to me our

710
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:28.039
our worser players, if I could say that that were

711
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:31.440
taken way before him, and when you already have the

712
00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:33.519
homes like you have that.

713
00:36:33.559 --> 00:36:36.320
Luxury like I think he was probably hoping that he

714
00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:40.320
would go undrafted so that he could have free agency

715
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:43.239
and pick his spot with his agency. But I mean

716
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:46.679
Delaney going them training up free picks to get the

717
00:36:46.679 --> 00:36:49.000
first corner off the board that I think could have

718
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:52.000
went twelve pick fifteenth pick, like later on in the draft,

719
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:54.239
were you confused by that with Kansas City to give

720
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:57.000
up so much thought when they traded up, I thought

721
00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:57.960
they get a wide receiver.

722
00:36:58.039 --> 00:37:01.199
Now I think what they thought was that someone else

723
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:05.440
was Obviously anytime we trade up, right, the feeling is

724
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.360
that someone else is going to get your.

725
00:37:07.199 --> 00:37:10.719
Guy if you don't do that. So I have missed,

726
00:37:11.360 --> 00:37:12.079
they might have missed.

727
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.840
Calculated is that a smart pick when you have or

728
00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:18.599
she Rice Savior Worthy and nobody else in a household

729
00:37:18.679 --> 00:37:21.960
name at wide receiver and then you're tight end. Travis

730
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:24.280
Kelsey's probably gonna retire after this year. Yeah, And it

731
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:26.119
seemed like if Kansas City was going to trade up,

732
00:37:26.360 --> 00:37:28.079
they were going to trade up because they saw Carnell

733
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:30.360
Taate go forth to the Titans and that they would

734
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:32.840
be trading up essentially to go and get a Jordan

735
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:34.840
Tyson or Mackay Lemon or something.

736
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:37.599
Of that major. Yeah. And again, like you said, Kelsey's

737
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:39.679
on probably his last season.

738
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:44.119
Somebody might have retired already, So you know, tight end,

739
00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:46.480
maybe one of the top tight ends could have been

740
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:46.840
an option.

741
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:49.760
I don't know about that early per se, but.

742
00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:52.159
Like again, they could have if they wanted to address

743
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:53.400
tight end, they could have traded.

744
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:55.400
With the league going for so many tight ends, you know,

745
00:37:55.440 --> 00:37:58.119
I don't even look at that. So Kansas City a

746
00:37:58.119 --> 00:38:00.800
little bit of a head scratcher. T twenty for the

747
00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:04.719
Los Angeles Chargers, twenty second overall. I thought this guy

748
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:06.840
would go in the first round. I predicted it months

749
00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:09.679
before the draft. He's been on the show, I interviewed him,

750
00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:12.039
I was around him, I was on the field taking

751
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:15.079
video of him and Ruben Bain Junior working out with

752
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:19.679
Jason Taylor. A keem Mesador going to the Los Angeles Chargers.

753
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:22.480
Twenty second overall. Pick a steal in my opinion, ed

754
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:25.280
Dresher out of Miami. Then in the second round, the

755
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:29.599
Chargers tape Jake Slaughter fantastic name for a guy who

756
00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:32.559
can pancake you of Florida Center. And then in the

757
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:34.760
fourth round, after not drafting in the third, they had

758
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.800
three picks in the fourth round. Brennan Thompson, Mississippi state

759
00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:41.880
wide receiver, Travis Burke, Memphis offensive tackle. I love this

760
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:44.880
name and his I guess all of the children in

761
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:48.000
his family are named after things in the Bible. So

762
00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:51.320
Genesis Smith out of Arizona safety going to the Chargers,

763
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:54.519
and then Nick Barrett South Carolina d tackle in the

764
00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:57.639
fifth round and the sixth round, Logan Taylor offensive guard

765
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:00.519
out of Boston College, and Alex Harkey in the round

766
00:39:00.760 --> 00:39:03.360
no picking the seventh round. For the Chargers, Parky is

767
00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:06.599
their last pick, Oregon offensive guard. So they go for

768
00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:10.920
offensive linemen to defensive linemen, a safety and a wide receiver.

769
00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:15.840
So here is Jim Harbo building through the draft to

770
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:19.320
protect his quarterback as well as to try and help

771
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:20.400
out his defensive line.

772
00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:23.480
Yeah, I think you hit it right out of the head, Dan.

773
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:27.039
I think with all the offensive lineman pick, they're saying,

774
00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:31.599
we're we you know, I'm a big, you know, fan

775
00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:37.119
of their quarterback, so I think they're just gonna you know,

776
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:39.679
I'm a fan of Herbert. His name is Kate or

777
00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:43.840
split second and the brain part, but love justin Herbert.

778
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:47.440
By the way, how about Jim Harba bringing in John Harbot,

779
00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:50.960
his brothers former players. He brought in JK Dobbins and

780
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:53.599
now he brought in Keaton Mitchell, two guys that used

781
00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:54.880
to be Raven running backs.

782
00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:56.480
Obviously JK is not there.

783
00:39:56.320 --> 00:39:58.880
Anymore, but he keeps bringing in guys that used to

784
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:02.000
play for his brother and he had brought in. He

785
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:05.800
also brought in staff members from Baltimore that were with

786
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.880
his brother and now came over to the Chargers. So

787
00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:11.079
it seems like in these first couple of years for

788
00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:13.760
Jim Harbaugh back in the NFL, he's going all right.

789
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:15.599
If they didn't work out in Baltimore, maybe they'll work

790
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:19.039
out with me with Keith Mitchell, another East Carolina running

791
00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:22.440
back alum. But he's got three running backs at least

792
00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.280
right now, he's got a bunch of wide receivers. I

793
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:28.440
predicted Lat McConkie would be awesome and Aronde Gatz in

794
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:30.880
the second out of Syracuse. I had no doubt in

795
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:33.280
my mind, and I drafted him in fantasy that he

796
00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:35.519
could become the starter, and he is now the starter

797
00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:36.519
going into year two.

798
00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:38.039
So they got a lot of weapons.

799
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:41.719
They going offensive and defensive line makes sense because he

800
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:43.039
believes in the weapons he has.

801
00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:47.440
I'll ask you this, like mconky's talent maybe showed flashes

802
00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:51.159
last year. Wwynn Johnson's sort of up and down. Thought

803
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:53.920
they might add to the wide receiver room to give

804
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:57.639
Herbert me doing an out of season. Yeah, but I

805
00:40:57.679 --> 00:40:58.679
love Lad McConkie.

806
00:40:58.679 --> 00:41:00.679
I think he's a thousand yard guy, and I think

807
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:03.039
Arondez is at five to six hundred yard guy. He

808
00:41:03.079 --> 00:41:05.559
could even be a thousand yard guy. So I love

809
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:08.719
what they did here for the Chargers. Let's go to

810
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:12.559
the other LA team, the Rams. The coming out of

811
00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:16.280
last season and the Super Bowl going to the Seahawks,

812
00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:21.320
I predicted immediately that the best teams to win the

813
00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:23.960
championship in the NFL in twenty six to twenty seven

814
00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:29.360
were one Seahawks, two Rams, same division NFC or NFC West,

815
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:33.400
and both in the NFC. I predicted Seahawks Rams had

816
00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:36.360
the best chance to win the title, and then Vegas

817
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:39.360
predicted the exact same that I had, Seahawks Rams. Well,

818
00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:41.559
the Rams did not have many picks. They had five

819
00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:45.639
picks in seven rounds this year. One in the first,

820
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:47.679
one in the second, one in the third, none in

821
00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:49.480
the fourth, none of the fifth, one of the sixth.

822
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:50.039
One of the seventh.

823
00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:53.800
But they, in my opinion, had the most confusing first

824
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:56.719
round draft pick that even their head coach Sean McVay

825
00:41:56.760 --> 00:42:00.800
looked Fin fears by when they went thirteenth overall Ty Simpson,

826
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:03.840
Alabama quarterback. Second round, they go Max Player out of

827
00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:07.039
Ohio State at tight end. Third round, they go Kegan

828
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:10.719
Trost Missouri offensive tackle. Sixth round, they get a steal

829
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:13.519
in the one handed grab arguably the best catch of

830
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:17.320
the entire college football season last year, CJ. Daniels Miami

831
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:19.960
against Notre Dame, that wide receiver. And then in the

832
00:42:19.960 --> 00:42:23.440
seventh round Tim Keenan the third Alabama d tackle who

833
00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:26.400
joins Ty Simpson. I got to ask you this, with

834
00:42:26.679 --> 00:42:30.280
very few picks and with the belief that the Rams

835
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:32.199
could be one of the best teams to win the

836
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:34.920
title game this year going in if you're all healthy,

837
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:37.440
why in the hell did they not not go Reuben

838
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:40.840
Baden junior or assess their defense and they go Ty

839
00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:44.360
Simpson when they have obviously they have Matt Stafford.

840
00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:48.119
It was a head scratcher, right if you listen to

841
00:42:48.400 --> 00:42:51.519
McVay at the end of that day kind of talk

842
00:42:51.639 --> 00:42:54.840
about it. I think what happened there that was a

843
00:42:54.840 --> 00:43:01.719
battle between GM lest Need and coach McVay and one

844
00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:05.480
for whatever reason or however that works out, Less Sneave

845
00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:08.440
got to make that pick. If you read between what

846
00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:13.320
ncvay said, he was you know he was politically correct,

847
00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:15.719
but you could tell he didn't love to pick and

848
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:19.079
it wasn't his call, and it wasn't his call. So

849
00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:22.440
so that was a less snead pick in their war room.

850
00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:26.599
Like you said, it was a head scratcher. You're you're

851
00:43:26.679 --> 00:43:30.400
trying to compete in the division with the Seahawks who

852
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:33.400
just won the Super Bowl, and you your first pick,

853
00:43:33.800 --> 00:43:36.679
thirteenth overall, is going to be a guy that barren

854
00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:39.360
injuries and not even going to see the field, or

855
00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:42.039
barring a game where you're blowing someone out and he

856
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:43.360
gets garbage time minutes.

857
00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:45.639
He's going to be a non factor at least in

858
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:48.079
his And I feel like, ye, next year they could

859
00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:48.519
have picked him.

860
00:43:48.719 --> 00:43:52.360
Yeah, it's just or or even take a late round

861
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:55.559
fire and I think Carson back to the Cardinals just better.

862
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:57.800
I agree, it is a better pick. I agree with you.

863
00:43:58.039 --> 00:43:59.639
So let's go to the Raiders. They had the number

864
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:01.159
one over pick. We all knew it was going to

865
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:04.760
be for Nando Mendoza. I said, I was in Miami

866
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:08.000
for the College Football Playoff National Championship, and I'm at

867
00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:12.199
there's two press conferences the day after. It's with the champions.

868
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:18.039
So Bernano Mendoza, Kurtzignetti and Indiana players with Mendoza. They're

869
00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:21.840
all here at the hotel, so we're interviewing them. Right

870
00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:26.280
after that, we have the handoff ceremony between Miami and Vegas,

871
00:44:26.639 --> 00:44:31.239
representing the Vegas team that is taking the CFP for

872
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:35.039
this upcoming season. Sandra Douglas Morgan, the president of the Raiders,

873
00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:38.320
Ike said there's no way that she doesn't pass Mendoza

874
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:41.079
in the hallway between the press conferences and doesn't shake

875
00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:42.920
his hand, lean in and say I'll see you in

876
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:46.800
three months. So Fornano Mendoza, number one overall pick home

877
00:44:46.840 --> 00:44:49.880
with his family. After that first round pick by the Raiders.

878
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:54.000
We see Traden Stoops, Arizona safety. In the second round.

879
00:44:54.199 --> 00:44:57.159
We see Keron Crawford how to auburn ed rusher. In

880
00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:00.280
the third round, Trey Zoon the third out of Texas

881
00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:02.960
and center in the third round. We see Jeremy McCoy

882
00:45:03.159 --> 00:45:05.639
Steele in the fourth round. First pick of the fourth round,

883
00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:09.360
Tennessee corner Mike Washington Junior, who I've known for almost

884
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:13.079
a decade, coming here out of Central New York originally

885
00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:16.280
from Unica, played for CNS and went on to play

886
00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:20.360
for Arkansas. He is one of one of five SEC

887
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:23.840
running backs this past season to rush for one thousand yards,

888
00:45:24.039 --> 00:45:26.840
and he's the only one of those five, including Kewan

889
00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:29.960
Lacy on LSU, to rush for one thousand yards with

890
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:32.440
less than two hundred carries. He's the only running back

891
00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:35.159
did in the SEC with one hundred and ninety plus

892
00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:39.000
as opposed to two hundred or more carries. Arkansas running

893
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:41.199
back Steele in the bottom of the fourth round, Mike

894
00:45:41.320 --> 00:45:45.519
Washington junior, Dalton Johnson, Arizona safety in the fifth round,

895
00:45:46.039 --> 00:45:49.559
and then Hezekaiah Masses California corner in the fifth round.

896
00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:53.760
Malik Benson, Oregon wide receiver, who was a journeyman who

897
00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:54.920
went here late.

898
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:55.760
I thought if he.

899
00:45:55.719 --> 00:45:57.760
Had some more time, he should have stayed in the

900
00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:01.000
sixth round, and then Brandon Cleveland and stated tackle in

901
00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:04.400
the seventh round. So going into the draft, I thought

902
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:08.159
the one thing besides quarterback that the Raiders needed to

903
00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:11.880
assess was their offensive line. And out of all their picks,

904
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:14.519
they assessed it one time in the third round.

905
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:15.079
With a center.

906
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:18.639
You have Ashton Genty and you bring in Mike Washington,

907
00:46:19.039 --> 00:46:22.280
so they're both gonna play. But then you need you

908
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:25.559
have no household names at wide receiver and Jalen Naylor,

909
00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:28.840
trade talker, Jack Beck, John Say Thornton Junior. So they

910
00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:32.480
don't assess wide receiver. Really, you got Rock Bowers, you

911
00:46:32.559 --> 00:46:35.679
need offensive line help. You barely assess that with one pick.

912
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:38.679
So I will say this about the Las Vegas Raiders.

913
00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:42.239
I like your running backs. I'm confused by your wide receivers.

914
00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:44.920
I have no idea what your plan is at offensive line.

915
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:47.719
And when you got Rock Bowers and you got Mike Washington,

916
00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:50.199
and you got Ashton Genty and you got Fernando Mendoza,

917
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:51.599
who the hell is going to block for?

918
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:54.840
Yeah, I'll tell you what. They dropped the ball. I

919
00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:56.760
think you hit it right on the head. Game Like,

920
00:46:56.840 --> 00:47:00.679
you've got a Mendoza the number one overall pick, great kid,

921
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:02.119
a great quarterback.

922
00:47:03.199 --> 00:47:05.199
You got Genty, arguably one of the.

923
00:47:05.159 --> 00:47:09.360
Better backs in football, and you don't you don't buff

924
00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:10.639
your old line.

925
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:13.039
Up other than the Senate draft pick. Like, what are

926
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:14.480
you doing? Are you?

927
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:14.639
You know?

928
00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:17.280
I think that was a big problem last year and

929
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:19.880
they didn't really address it to me.

930
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:21.360
And it's a little shocking.

931
00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:24.400
And you have they had ten picks, they had time,

932
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:27.920
like if you call me, well, they only had six picks.

933
00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:30.639
To try to get this stuff done. They had ten picks,

934
00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:33.519
and they took one offensive lineman in the center. Like,

935
00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:35.079
that's shocking to me.

936
00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:39.440
And I love this Mike Washington pick because after genty

937
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:40.800
the cupboard is there.

938
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:43.239
Now it isn't. But what did you do to.

939
00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:46.880
Buff that lineup? Unless they know something we don't, Maybe

940
00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:48.000
they do, I don't know what.

941
00:47:48.079 --> 00:47:49.719
I'd rather them take.

942
00:47:49.599 --> 00:47:52.800
An old lineman than another running back. I agree, and

943
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:58.480
I have no idea why you take they never see

944
00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:03.199
their rooms pretty thin. Your best receiver possession wise is

945
00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:04.679
Brock Bauers your tight end.

946
00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:06.880
And you let Jakobe.

947
00:48:06.360 --> 00:48:09.519
Myers go last year to the Jaguars, who was great talker.

948
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:12.000
But I don't know if he's ready to be wide

949
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:13.320
receiver one just yet.

950
00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:15.440
By the way, I have a rookie sweater card of him.

951
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:17.599
So if he does get good, make sure you call me.

952
00:48:18.360 --> 00:48:20.920
Let's go to the next team here in our alphabetical

953
00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:24.599
order assessment. In the draft, Miami Dolphins. They get a

954
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:27.719
guy who I am really excited about, Alabama offensive tackle

955
00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:30.599
Catan Procker, one of the sixteen guys at the draft.

956
00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:33.719
They trade down with the Cowboys from eleven to twelve

957
00:48:33.760 --> 00:48:36.280
so the Cowboys could get Caleb Downs, and then they

958
00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:39.920
get another pick twenty seventh overall out of San Diego State.

959
00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:42.599
At corner, they get Chris Johnson, who I had going

960
00:48:42.679 --> 00:48:44.239
right around this placement in the draft.

961
00:48:44.519 --> 00:48:46.079
So they get two first round.

962
00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:47.800
Picks, and then they get a guy I love, who

963
00:48:48.239 --> 00:48:51.559
had probably the biggest cowboy hat I've ever seen in

964
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:54.039
my life when I was covering the Capitol One Orange

965
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:57.400
Bowl at the hard Rock Stadium, home of the Dolphins,

966
00:48:57.679 --> 00:49:01.559
his last college game. He goes off the field bitter

967
00:49:01.679 --> 00:49:05.679
sweet for Texas Tech losing to Oregon, and now his

968
00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:07.760
first game as a pro is going to be in

969
00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:08.559
that same state.

970
00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:10.360
He's going to be back in that same stadium.

971
00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:12.960
So he walks off the field with his girlfriend, and

972
00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:14.360
he walked by me in silence.

973
00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:15.719
There is nobody else on the field.

974
00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:19.440
Jacob Rodriguez out of Texas Tech, the linebacker drafted in

975
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:22.280
the eleventh pick of the second round. He leaves the

976
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:24.880
field in a loss where the team didn't really show

977
00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:28.639
up on offense. He comes back here as a dolphin

978
00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:31.599
because God is great, and he joined. He's joined by

979
00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:34.639
his teammate drafted right after him to the Dolphins, Caleb

980
00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:37.280
Douglas wide receiver in the third round. Then they get

981
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:41.519
well Will kac Merrick, Ohio State tight end in the

982
00:49:41.559 --> 00:49:44.320
third round. Then another pick in the third round, they

983
00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:47.599
get a steal in my opinion, in wide receiver out

984
00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:50.800
of Louisville Chris Bell. So you see that Miami lets

985
00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:53.880
Tyreek Hill go and brings in two wide receivers in

986
00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:56.159
the first three rounds. Then in the fourth round they

987
00:49:56.159 --> 00:49:58.239
get an edge rusher out of Texas and Tray Moore.

988
00:49:58.599 --> 00:50:01.599
They get a linebacker out of pit Kyle Lewis. Fifth round,

989
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:06.440
they get Michael Taffy safety out of Texas, Kevin Coleman Junior,

990
00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:09.239
another wide receiver out of Missouri fifth round. Then they

991
00:50:09.280 --> 00:50:13.599
get side Troy Missisispisett, Mississippi State tight end in the

992
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:16.199
fifth round. And then they get an offensive guard DJ

993
00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:18.239
Campbell in the sixth round out of Texas that could

994
00:50:18.280 --> 00:50:20.800
be a steal for them, and Max Llewellen out of

995
00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:23.480
Iowa in the seventh round edge rusher. We go from

996
00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:25.280
the Raiders whose draft we didn't like.

997
00:50:25.639 --> 00:50:27.559
I love Miami raft. I love Miami ship.

998
00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:31.360
Jacob Rodriguez to me was the first round linebacker. He's

999
00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:33.480
going to be in on every play. He's that kind

1000
00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:38.360
of player. As you well know. They addressed so many

1001
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:41.639
needs at thirteen picks, and they really did a good job.

1002
00:50:41.800 --> 00:50:44.039
I think you will get a lot of these guys, Dan,

1003
00:50:44.599 --> 00:50:48.159
and they got them. They got them like lower than

1004
00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:51.400
they should have been. In other words, they got great value. Yea,

1005
00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:53.960
like some of these guys should have been picked sooner

1006
00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:58.039
they fo. They fell to Miami and they made great

1007
00:50:58.119 --> 00:51:01.440
But like I think they made great actually bress the

1008
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:07.320
receiver room with multiple wide receivers, two tight ends, both

1009
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:10.400
sides of the trenches with with alignment and d lineman.

1010
00:51:11.639 --> 00:51:15.320
If Malik Willis can play well for them, they could

1011
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:18.039
be one of those surprise teams that we don't talk

1012
00:51:18.159 --> 00:51:24.079
about ers we can see yeah that too, so uh,

1013
00:51:24.159 --> 00:51:25.559
I think they they had.

1014
00:51:25.400 --> 00:51:26.639
One of the better draft.

1015
00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:27.320
Uh.

1016
00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:30.079
Someone might say, well, John, if you have thirteen picks,

1017
00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:33.199
you better hit on some. But I think, like even

1018
00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:37.760
Kyle Lewis, the linebacker from Pittsburgh where they got him.

1019
00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:40.599
Every it's like every guy they got should have been

1020
00:51:40.639 --> 00:51:44.360
picked before you. Yeah, so like whoever was you know,

1021
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:47.440
kudos to the GM there, I think, uh I think

1022
00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:49.199
they did a very one.

1023
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:51.440
Of the best jobs as in the draft.

1024
00:51:51.639 --> 00:51:54.280
Yeah, and I will tell you this right now. Twin

1025
00:51:54.320 --> 00:51:57.920
yours is from Texas. Try Morris from Texas, Michael Taffy's

1026
00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:00.360
from Texas, d J Campbell's from Texas. I think got

1027
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:04.039
Jacob Rodriguez and Caleb Douglas from Texas Tech. So essentially

1028
00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:07.880
the Miami Dolphins are Texas East now. So I think

1029
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:11.159
Miami could be a playoff team if their quarterback situation

1030
00:52:11.199 --> 00:52:11.800
can get right.

1031
00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:13.119
Let's go to Minnesota.

1032
00:52:13.199 --> 00:52:16.280
Speaking of a quarterback situation, they bring in Kyler Murray

1033
00:52:16.280 --> 00:52:18.599
in the offseason, and I had said for the last

1034
00:52:18.599 --> 00:52:21.119
couple of years, I wonder how long Arizona's going to

1035
00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:22.880
keep going with this Kyler Murray project.

1036
00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:23.840
Will they let go of it?

1037
00:52:24.199 --> 00:52:27.159
He is now in Minnesota with JJ McCarthy who's supposed

1038
00:52:27.199 --> 00:52:28.840
to be the starter but has to stay healthy and

1039
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:32.119
hasn't done that in his first couple of seasons Minnesota.

1040
00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:35.440
In eighteenth overall, they get Caleb Banks out of Florida

1041
00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:37.639
at D tackle, a guy did not have on my

1042
00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:38.440
mock draft.

1043
00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:39.079
First round board.

1044
00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:42.800
Then in the second round they take Jake Goldie Goldey

1045
00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:47.079
out of Cincinnati at linebacker Dominique Orange, who should have

1046
00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:50.159
played for Syracuse, Iowa State d tackle in the third round.

1047
00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:52.119
Also in the third round they have back to back

1048
00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:56.079
picks for Minnesota Caleb Tiernan out of Northwestern O tackle,

1049
00:52:56.360 --> 00:52:59.840
Jacoby Thomas Miami safety, another guy who I covered.

1050
00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:01.320
And then in the fifth round.

1051
00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:05.000
They have two picks, Max Brettison Michigan tight end and

1052
00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:09.000
then Charles Deming's Steven f Austin cornerback in the sixth

1053
00:53:09.079 --> 00:53:11.920
round to Mont Claiborne. What a frigging steel for a

1054
00:53:11.960 --> 00:53:14.440
team that desperately needs a running back and they wait

1055
00:53:14.559 --> 00:53:16.039
until the sixth round to get one. I don't know

1056
00:53:16.039 --> 00:53:18.320
how the hell this guy was available, but shout out

1057
00:53:18.360 --> 00:53:21.519
to Minnesota your best running back maybe the guy you

1058
00:53:21.599 --> 00:53:23.960
got in the sixth round here wake for us to

1059
00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:27.360
Mont Claiborne. And then in the seventh round Gavin Gearhart

1060
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:28.840
out of Cincinnati at center.

1061
00:53:29.079 --> 00:53:29.880
What are your thoughts?

1062
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:32.719
I like, like you said, the Claiborne pick, they do

1063
00:53:32.840 --> 00:53:37.519
need a back, and you know they're putting a lot

1064
00:53:37.559 --> 00:53:41.760
of eggs in the Kyler Murray basket. You know, I

1065
00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:45.760
don't know if they didn't really address wide receiver. I

1066
00:53:45.800 --> 00:53:50.159
know you got Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison's up and down.

1067
00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:53.679
I thought they would pick another receiver, maybe to help

1068
00:53:54.559 --> 00:53:57.320
Kyler Murray. I don't think it was a terrible draft.

1069
00:53:57.400 --> 00:54:00.480
I think, like you said, the Bank to pick in

1070
00:54:00.519 --> 00:54:03.159
the first round was a little bit of a maybe

1071
00:54:03.159 --> 00:54:06.760
a reach if you will. Yeah, I think they could

1072
00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:08.679
have went in a different direction. I don't think it

1073
00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:11.599
was a terrible draft, but I think I know they

1074
00:54:11.599 --> 00:54:12.679
could have been better too.

1075
00:54:13.119 --> 00:54:15.199
I think they should have done a lot more in

1076
00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:18.679
assessing their front line of their defense, their wide receiver.

1077
00:54:19.000 --> 00:54:22.239
I'm happy that they went, and I mean they got.

1078
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:25.480
An interior to interior d Linemans and Banks and Dominique

1079
00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:27.760
Gorns because right now they have a wide open spot

1080
00:54:27.800 --> 00:54:30.440
in their defensive line. Hopefully one of those guys can

1081
00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:32.760
close the gap. So I mean, I'm happy that they

1082
00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:36.119
did that. But I'm just I'm looking at Minnesota saying,

1083
00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:38.239
where are you going to be a wide receiver? And again,

1084
00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:43.199
Demond Claiborne, everything that I see when it comes to Minnesota,

1085
00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:46.400
I'm not sold on Jordan Mason or Aaron Jones. So

1086
00:54:46.599 --> 00:54:49.639
Demond Claiborne, you could be the starter and outside of

1087
00:54:49.679 --> 00:54:52.840
Jordan Addison, and Justin Jefferson. They need help at wide

1088
00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:55.360
receiver and Addison's got to be consistent.

1089
00:54:55.440 --> 00:54:57.840
TJ. Hockinson at tight end's gonna have to stay healthy.

1090
00:54:58.199 --> 00:55:01.320
Addison had a couple of games Dan where he played

1091
00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:03.960
and then no catches in the game he was there

1092
00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:06.440
and like so, like, you know, no one's going to

1093
00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:10.960
argue that Justin Jefferson's not a top tier wide receiver. Uh,

1094
00:55:11.079 --> 00:55:13.360
but you got to have someone throwing him the ball right.

1095
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:17.679
Party struggled in that role last year. That led to

1096
00:55:18.559 --> 00:55:21.800
a bad year for Justin Jefferson. Not his ball, but

1097
00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:24.679
that was the result and they didn't add to that.

1098
00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:27.880
They didn't get that room any help with you as well,

1099
00:55:27.880 --> 00:55:29.199
and bringing in Kyler Murray.

1100
00:55:29.280 --> 00:55:31.599
He's been known to not get the ball to top

1101
00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:34.519
wide receivers like DeAndre Hopkins and Marvin Harrison Junior. So

1102
00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:37.440
could be more of the same. If JJ can't be

1103
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:40.880
consistent and stay healthy, and if Kyler Murray keeps being

1104
00:55:40.920 --> 00:55:44.519
his wild inconsistency as well, so Minnesota could struggle and

1105
00:55:44.519 --> 00:55:45.920
find their way out of the playoffs and be a

1106
00:55:45.920 --> 00:55:47.239
middle of the road team this year.

1107
00:55:47.559 --> 00:55:49.320
If they don't get it together all right.

1108
00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:54.199
That is Part two of our NFL Draft review breakdown

1109
00:55:54.320 --> 00:55:57.920
be with myself and my good friend Dan to Tora,

1110
00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:01.960
and I want to thank Dan and not only for

1111
00:56:02.519 --> 00:56:05.159
allowing me on the show to do it, but allowing

1112
00:56:05.239 --> 00:56:07.400
me to use the media. And again we were in

1113
00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:12.239
a public setting at ay at a YMCA here in

1114
00:56:12.320 --> 00:56:14.800
central New York, so you will hear kids in the

1115
00:56:14.840 --> 00:56:18.719
background and some background noise just so you know. And

1116
00:56:18.760 --> 00:56:22.039
again that was part two, and we got one more

1117
00:56:22.079 --> 00:56:25.119
part left in a couple of weeks with the rest

1118
00:56:25.159 --> 00:56:28.599
of the teams, and hope you enjoyed it. Something a

1119
00:56:28.599 --> 00:56:32.760
little different. And you know, big football guy as some

1120
00:56:32.920 --> 00:56:38.079
of you know, and Dan is as well, so you know,

1121
00:56:38.199 --> 00:56:40.760
I don't know if we'll do that every year necessarily,

1122
00:56:40.840 --> 00:56:45.199
but we did it this year and wanted to get

1123
00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:50.039
it out to my audience as well. So a couple

1124
00:56:50.000 --> 00:56:54.440
of weeks Part three and that will conclude this special series.

1125
00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:58.360
Thanks for listening, and we'll see you next time.
