Jaguars Select Anton Harrison 27th Overall | NFL Draft Day 1 Observations · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: We're the twenty seventh pick in the twenty twenty three
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: NFL Draft. The Jacksonville Jaguars select Aton Harrison, tackle Oklahoma.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Welcome into the Jags Reporters Podcast, Draft Edition, Day one,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: presented by Cadillac JP, Shadwick, John Ozier, Kai Stevens. The
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Jaguars have a selection in the first round, Anton Harrison
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: out of Oklahoma. It took a couple of trades to
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: get there. Though the Jacks had the twenty fourth pick,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: they moved back to twenty five and gained two picks. Well,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: they didn't make that pick. They moved back two more
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: picks to twenty seven, added another pick, so twelve total
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: picks for the weekend. They made one of those in
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: the first round at twenty seven. They've added a tackle, Kai,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and here we go. We talked about it a lot
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: of the day on different shows this afternoon. The Cam
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Robinson story came out this morning, but the Jaguars have
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: known about that for weeks and it's been built into
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: their preparation already. It's not like they changed the board today,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: but the tackles the pick, and it's both a short
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: term and a long term answer for this team.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we found out about the Cam Robinson
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: thing today, or the public did, but that was something
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: we noted that that they were going to be targeting
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: that position anyway, trying to add some depth there because
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: they lost Jean Taylor in the off season, and you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: even with injuries at times you need extra backup there
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: and of course, above all else, protect Trevor Lawrence. So
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: when they were going to do that, I wasn't super
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: familiar with that name. I know we had talked about
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: some other possibilities, but a bunch went off the board early,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: so they were able to get their guy, even with
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: trading back twice.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: He was by many considered sort of the last guy
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: out of a bunch of good tackles who come in
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: and play right away. I do believe that this was
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: a pick not made about Cam Robinson, mainly because of
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: a theme that I was harping on not throughout the offseason.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: They learned so much much of an example of why
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: you need a good swing tackle last year when Cam
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Robinson got hurt, and I believe this team has a
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: philosophy that you need seven good offensive linemen. No knock
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: on Josh Wells, who will be a good veteran. But
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: you with the drafting of Harrison, you now fill that
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: big time first round tackle, second round tackle, second round tackle,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: meaning Cam and I'll walk a little both second round
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: picks and on Harrison's first round pick. You have premium
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: equity at those three offensive tackle positions. And then you
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: also a JP. As we talked about an earlier show,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Cam's contract situation after the twenty twenty three season is
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: very diceing whether he's back or not, so you continue
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: to draft first round with the idea that he will
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: be really, really good in his second year when Walker
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Little is in his fourth year. Feels like that could
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: be the tackle combination in twenty twenty four.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see what happened down the line. You mentioned
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Cam Robinson. The dead money going in the twenty four
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: season is like five million bucks or something compared to
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: what it is now. It's a big jump down, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: we'll see how a level of play is as well.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: It might be a moot point. Maybe Cam plays well,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: then get him again and do all that. But now
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: they have an insurance policy of sorts with Anton Harris.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: And I think too.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Something Trent mentioned very briefly at the top of the
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: press conference, Trent Balky, he sort of threw it out there.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: You can also play guard. You could easily see a
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: scenario where it's Harrison and Walker Little for the first
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: six games, Cam Robinson comes back and then all of
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: a sudden, Anton Harrison still fits into their best five somewhere.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: So again, a short term value with a lot of
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: long term roster builds positiveness to it, if you will.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: For the Jaguars night.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: We'll look forward to the press conference whenever that is
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: coming up on Friday. We haven't heard an official time
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: as we record this. It is Friday already when we
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: record this. It's almost what I am. We haven't heard
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: an official time, but we'll look forward to hearing from
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: him a little bit later. I'm kai crazy. At the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: top of the draft tonight in the AFC South, obviously,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the Houston Texans goes CJ. Stroud and then they double
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: up and trade up to the number three pick right
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: after it and get Will Anderson Junior. Anthony Richardson goes
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: at number four to Indy and then Peter Scarnsky to
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Tennessee at number eleven, the offensive lineman that has a
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: lot of AFC South business That's.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: What you like to see, right, desperation out of your opponents.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: They want to compete so bad that they're trading up,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: they're doing all these crazy moves because they know the
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Jaguars have their core returning what they are capable of doing,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: and they want to compete against them. Obviously, Anthony Richardson
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: a lot of Gators fans are here tonight. That will
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: be really interesting to see what he's able to do
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: in Indianapolis, just because it's been such a limited amount
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: of college games that we've seen him play in. By
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Houston really going for it, I think that's the right
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: move for them. Obviously, you need to get a quarterback
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: in place. They really wanted to get the edge there
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: as well, and I just I think they're doing the
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: right things. But as a Jags fan, you have to
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: be happy to see other people trying to compete with you.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: For once, you're not trying to catch up to them,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: they're trying to catch up to you.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Well, it's gonna be a fascinating year because generally speaking,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: even highly drafted Wookie quarterbacks we saw with Trevor Lawrence
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: in twenty twenty one, generally speaking, those guys aren't going
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: to make huge impact where all of a sudden they
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: are getting traction on the division leaders in the first year,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: and then how good really are these guys? You know,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: I wasn't a huge fan of this quarterback class. It
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: always felt to me like you had a lot of
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: guys that teams hope will be very good without a
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: lot of Uh, there's no guarantees, but you guys know
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, without a whole lot of Okay, this
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: is a dead solid, locked generational guy. Felt to me
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: like a year or where quarterbacks got pushed up. So
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: we'll see on that front. Usually when teams make these
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: big pushes like the Texans having the second and third.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Pick, history tells us that usually.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Both of them don't work out, you know, and who knows,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: usually splash on draft day like that somewhere along the
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: line doesn't quite work out. So if you're a Jags fan,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: you're hoping I'm right on that right.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, that's absolutely true. And one note on that
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the Texans did trade a first round pick next year,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: It is their first round pick next year, not the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: pick they got from the Browns in the Watson deals,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: so they still have another first round pick in their
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: pocket in twenty twenty four, they had, They've got some
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: picks to deal with. Let's put it that.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: It was interesting that Tennessee didn't go quarterback though, you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: I think because Levis was sitting there. Yeah, so the
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Texans last year remembers sort of waited to address quarterback
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: in their quote build.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I don't think as much as people in Jacksonville want
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: to discount Tennessee, Tennessee's not a franchise that assumes they rebuild.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: I mean for Tennessee, if you're Tennessee, you're thinking, without
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: a fumble out here, we're in the playoffs last year. Yeah,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: So they don't really view themselves that way. So are
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: they waiting a year to get their quarterback or they saying, hey,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: we don't need a quarterback. We can not go after
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: this thing now as long as as long as we
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: would protect Tannehill. So that was a thought I had
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: at that moment. I'm just sharing some thoughts with.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: You at that time of night, I suppose or just
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: s hear some thoughts. By the way, you shared a
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: thought with this happy hour this.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Week, Kai, I wasn't gonna rub it in your face.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Well you didn't quite get it all the way, true,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: but I should.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Have doubled down the first time and been like, they're
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: going to trade back twice.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Well, you said trade out.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I said trade back to get more picks.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: You said trade out. I don't know. We got to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: go to the table figure it out. There's a little
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: you know, we've got to figure that out.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: But either I'll give you credit because you've taken a
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: win and JP.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I'm taking it all right.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I don't care.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know what you called something close to this
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: worked out twice? All right, don't give that to you,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: all right?
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I mean this that's what you want to see out
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: of your team when they're successful, Right, you can still
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: get your guy, especially in draft like this where we're
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: seeing running backs go in the first round for some reason,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: we're seeing all these players go off the board. So
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: hopefully who you were targeting is there's going to be
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: a multitude of options, and there's still going to be
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: some at the top of the second round. So if
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: you're giving yourself more picks, more bites at the apple,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: if you want to say it that way, it's it's
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: just a good look for them and it looks makes
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: them look like they know what they're doing, and I'm
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: sure they do know what they're doing. But when you
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: do this, you're like, oh, we knew all along.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: How many running backs before wide receivers? What's that's pretty
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and before a tight end class that was considered
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: very good. So running backs over pass catchers. Our friend
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Pete Prisco.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Like, oh, he's already a buzz.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: I think tomorrow will be fascinating or today will be fascinating,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: as we talked about a little earlier.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: JP. Now that three pick.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Cluster in the fourth round, it's between one hundred and
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: twenty and one hundred and thirty.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: I think I think they have three picks there.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: How aggressive will they try to be with those picks
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: to try to get up from fifty six tomorrow and
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: get a player that is perhaps sliding? And you know
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: that will be the storyline to me in the second round.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: How quickly and how how far they can move up.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: We'll see if they even want to.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, they can't pick twelve, right, that's.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Going to be all they could, but pay that would
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: be a lot of new faces in here. That'd be
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: a long Saturday as well.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I as as much as I would.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Love a lot of third round I mean a lot
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: of third day picks, because I like long Saturdays. On
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: the draftday, it just feels to me more and more
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: like there's some real aggression coming from trainball Ky Tomorrow.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: We'll see. Right now, they have the second round pick
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: twenty fifth in that round, fifty sixth overall, third round
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: pick eighty eighth overall, three fourth round picks one twenty one,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: one twenty seven, one thirty, a fifth round pick one sixty.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: They've got three sixth round picks one eighty five, two
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: oh two, and two oh eight, and they've got two
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: seventh round picks two twenty six and two forty. That's
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: what's on the docket.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: We'll see what happens John's favorite Saturday.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: We'll see what happens tomorrow.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: First, I may announce my retirement Saturday.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I doubt that Friday night.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: If Trent's not aggressive tomorrow.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Well, what will we ever do without you? Joe?
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Let me tell you, I don't have an answer to that.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: It would be.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Lost kai final thought, how was the first night on
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: the stage out there? Good?
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: It was great, other than a little inclement weather and
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: all the trade drama. U. I enjoy the trade drama,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: so that part was great. The weather not so much,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: but tw ball still came out. It was so great
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: to see everyone.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: You got Bude fair enough. I got to take that
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: very very well.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: For reference everyone she Roy comes out, introduces her, Hey,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: where are you from? Well, I worked, I was from
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: New England. That's where I'm from, and.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: To England there I get booed.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: And I've lived in Jacksonville all my life.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Okay, so there's different reasons for you.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: You were great, fantastic.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: It's a warm welcome.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I appreciate its awesome. That's Kuy Stevens, John oser Our
