  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Everyone?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Welcome into another episode of to check O Daily. Andrew
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: de Checko Here Eagles beat reporter friendsidethbirds dot Com. And
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: today we're gonna do something a little different because we're
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: two weeks out from the NFL Draft, and I know
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: the opening night it garners the bulk of the headlines
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: because that's where teams are identifying franchise cornerstones. But it's
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: important to remember that a lot of the what makes
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: up an NFL roster around the league are comprised of
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Day two selections, and like the opening Night, those who
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: are selected in rounds two and three are expected to
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: elevate into starting roles. So look at it through the
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: lens of Hallie Roseman, and he's been very successful in
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: years past coming away with impact talent in rounds two
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: and three, also round one. But today we're talking about
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Day two and really getting those positions of needs.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: So when you look at the obvious need for cost.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Controlled offensive pieces over the next two weeks, I focused
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: on that side of the ball today because I listed
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: eight players that I thought would be fits. And the
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: key here is they fall or they're expected to fall
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: within the Eagles range in any of their three Day
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: two selections. So to recap, the Eagles are picking in
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the second round, pick fifty four, that's their own pick,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the third round number sixty three the Hassan Redick trade.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: The third round pick number ninety eight is a compensatory pick.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to go through these offensive players and
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: add a little context and also where I'm expecting.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Them to go.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So we'll start right off the bat with three wide receivers,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the first of which is Chris Bell from Louisville, and
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I like his compact build. He kind of reminds me
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: of AJ Brown and how he's built. At six foot two,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty two pounds. He has the ability
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to manufacture yards after the catch, and I think that
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: he would be an ideal compliment for the eagles current
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: stable of pass catchers when you look at his dimensions,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: his ability to work the shorts, intermediate level, create yards
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: after the catch, be that physical bully type on the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: outside to complement Davonte and if AJ's around, I think
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: that those two guys are going to impose their will.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Against defensive backs.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: But last season for Louisville, I thought he did a
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: really good job navigating the intermediary levels, and he attacks
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the football and has really.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Good body control.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Now, he did suffer an ACL injury late in the season,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I believe it was November, missed the fire two games,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: so you worry about the timeline and when he's going
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to be able to participate. So that's something to keep
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: an eye on. But this is a Round two player
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: all day long. I think he would be an ideal
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: selection if the Eagles are looking to add a wide
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: receiver at pick number fifty four.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know that he would be there when they're
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: picking at.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Sixty three, But aside from Alabama's Jeremy Bernard, Chris Bell
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: is my favorite day two wide receiver because I believe
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: he has immense upside, a unique skill set, and I
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: love the physicality in which he plays the game. He'll
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: be twenty two, I think in June, so he's still
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: a younger player, especially relative to a lot of the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: players in this class. And last year he had seventy
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: two catches for nine hundred and seventeen yards before he
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: had the ACO injury. So I think that would be
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: an interesting player to add to the offensive dynamic. The
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: next player Elijah sarat or Surrett, So I apologize Surrett,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: wide receiver from Indiana, and he'll be twenty three in May.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: He's among some of the older rookies in this class,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and there are some who are twenty five. And you know,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I've talked about Nate Borkircher, the tight end who's going
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: to be twenty five, But sirre it turns twenty three
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: in May. He has good body control, he plays through contact.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: He was a team captain for Indiana last season, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I think he could thrive in a volume based role.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Now he's never eclipsed the or he hasn't eclipsed the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: one thousand yard receiving barrier in two seasons, but he
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: was someone who's accumulated receptions. He's been a trusted safety
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: valve for that offense. And he's tough as nails, which
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I really like and it shines through when you watch
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: him play. Dependable receiver, strong hands, will play through contact,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: as I mentioned, and he's rangy. He was a twenty
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: twenty five second team All Big Ten selection, finished his
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: career with forty four receiving touchdowns, so he has a
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: nose for the end zone. He's a red zone option
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: that's also added appeal. Six foot two, two hundred and
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: ten pounds, so solid build.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: And I think he liked that.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: He has inside outside versatility, not overly explosive.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: He's not a burner.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: He ran a four or five to three forty r dash,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: but I think he's going to have a really long
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and productive career.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I think he goes in the third round.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: The last receiver I want to get into is Ted
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Hurst at a Georgia State his four year career. He
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: spent the first two at Valdosta State, that's a Division
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: two college, and then he went to Georgia State for
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: his final two years and that's really where he rose
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to prominence. And six foot four, two hundred and six
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: pounds ran a four to four to two at the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: NFL scouting Combine. He brings that field stretching element to
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: an offense in dire need of explosive plays. His catch
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: radius and ability to pull away from defensive back. He
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: has a flair for tracking the football and dynamic open
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: field ability.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite receiving prospects in this class.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: If I'm being honest, and I think if you look
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: at that level of competition, it's going to naturally draw
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: some scrutiny from some pockets. But it is worth noting
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: that he showed well in the Reese's Senior Bowl, and
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: that's a big, big measuring stick for a lot of evaluators.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Especially when you're a player coming from a small school,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: they naturally want to see how you handle yourself and
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: if you're able to kind of elevate your performance under
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the intense scrutiny of the preeminent all star game of
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the draft circuit. So seventy one catches one thousand and
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: four yards six touchdowns, and you have to imagine that
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: he will only improve and maybe even ascend to another
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: level when you get him into an NFL building and
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: he's working with NFL coaches.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: So ted Hurst is a player I believe will go
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in the third round.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: His stock has sort of skyrocketed since the Senior Bowl
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and steadily increased, And that would be a player I
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: would imagine could come right in and provide an immediate impact.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I talk about the field stretching ability. You like the size,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the range, and again it would complement in terms of size.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: The Eagles are aside from AJ Brown and Johnny Wilson,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: they're a smaller receiving cores.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: That would change if he added someone like Ted Hurst.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Moving to tight end Eli Stowers from Vanderbilt, I think
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: he will slot in right around where.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: The Eagles are picking at sixty three.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: So if they want to wait and try to pounce
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: on value, if they don't feel so inclined to trade
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: up for a Kenyon Sadik and they want to get
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: that day two tight end, Eli Stowers could be in
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: play at sixty three.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And I talked a lot about him.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I've interviewed him on Inside the Bird's Great Kid, and
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I think he offers immense upside as a pure receiving threat.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Started at Texas A and m went to New Mexico State,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: ends at Vanderbilt. Was a converted quarterback and it doesn't
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: matter if he's playing wide receiver or tight end. He's
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: going to create a lot of mismatches. He can find
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the sauce spot in zone, strong hands, fluid as a
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: route runner, and when talking to Eli, he mentioned that
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: his quarterback background helped him in terms of route running
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: and finding landmarks and things like that, because you know
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: what you're looking for.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And you're able to kind of have.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: That information and that kind of detail that maybe others
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: aren't privy to. But so last season seven hundred and
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: sixty nine receiving yards, four touchdowns on sixty two receptions.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: And he's not a strong blocker. He's talked about working
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: on that. He's more of a finesse player who'll have
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: to continue to improve as a blocker to become a
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: more well rounded player.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: But when you look.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Around at the NFL and you see these mismatches, these weapons,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: if you will, that maybe lack of defined role, that's
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: someone that is a difference maker, and they're spreading teams
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: out more. They've been doing that. That's been a growing trend.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Someone like Eli Stowers, I believe will greatly benefit from
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: those modernized New Age offenses, much like what we're expecting
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the Eagles to implement. Stowers, for the record, is my
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: tight end two That has not changed. Max Clair would
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: be the other tight end who should fall within that
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: sixty sixty five range.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So I would imagine that sixty three.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: If you don't have a tight end and you're the
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Eagles and you want to take advantage of what is
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: a pretty strong class, Max Clair might the fit. He
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: has a natural savviness, and a precision when it comes
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: to route running, and he has a feel for just
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: knowing how to shake free and get open and be
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: a security blanket for a quarterback. He also has a
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: dependable set of hands and a grittiness that allows him
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: to play through contact. Reminds me a little bit of
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: former Eagles tight end Zach Ertz, but he grades out
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: a lot better as a blocker than Zach did, certainly
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: coming out, and so he's kind of of a more refined,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: balanced player relative to Stours. Stowers offers more explosiveness and
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: receiving prowess, but Max Claire is I think if you're
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the Eagles and he's sitting there at sixty three, that's
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: going to be tough to bypass, because he strikes me
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: as a tight end that would fit what the Eagles
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: want to do, and that he's balanced.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: He's well rounded.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Not an overly imposing blocker, but a willing one and
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: one who's effective when asked to do it.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: You probably don't want him to doing it all that often,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: but the.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Precision of his route running and the detail knowing how
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: to get open and knowing having a good feel and
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: a good rapport with his quarterbacks. I believe is going
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: to go a long way. He's NFL ready. I think
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: he's ready to step in, and if the Eagles implemented
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of twelve personnel, it wouldn't surprise me if
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: he works into if he would work into the equation
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: if he were selected, because I don't think he's going
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: to need an extensive acclamation period.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: He strikes me as someone who's NFL ready.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Last season, had forty three receptions for four hundred and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: forty eight yards two touchdowns. Spent two seasons at Purdue
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: prior to arriving at Ohio State, so Max Claire would
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: be the other tight end. Now we're going to get
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: into three offensive tackles as we close things out. Caleb
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Chiernan offensive tackle out of Northwestern. Now he's six foot eight,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty three pounds. Started thirty eight games
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: over the last three seasons at left tackle, but when
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: you look at his arm length thirty two and a
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: quarter inch, it probably necessitates a move to right guard.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I move to right tackle, maybe guard as
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: well at the next level.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And then in.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Twenty twenty two, Tiernan actually started six games at right tackle,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: so it's not like he has no experience and it
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: would be largely a projection, but he doesn't have a
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: ton of experience there.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: But I think his long term.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Fit would be at right tackle, and he could be
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: a swing tackle. At six foot eight, he's a little
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: a little long for a guard, but it's unique in
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: the sense that his arms are I guess disproportion at
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: thirty two and a quarter. It's it doesn't reflect that
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: of a six foot eight, three hundred and twenty three
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: pound offensive lineman. He's technically savvy and polished when it
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: comes to pass blocking. I do believe that his run
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: blocking needs a little bit of work in terms of
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: detail and consistency, but the hand placement and the footwork
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: they work in unison as they should when you're a
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: polished and you're technically sound. There is added appeal as
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I mentioned with tyn In, because he might not require
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: a red shirt season if he's drafted to a team
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: that has to establish tackles, because despite his frame, he
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: could function as a guard, as I mentioned Travis Burke,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: offensive tackle out of Memphis. Oh and I should mention
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: that Tiernan I think comes off the board right around
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: where the Eagles are picking at fifty four because offensive
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: linemen are valued, and he does offer some flexibility there
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: and very established. As I mentioned thirty eight starts over
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: three seasons at left tackle. Travis Burke offensive tackle out
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: of Memphis. He's well rounded and he's no stranger to
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: adapting to change. He spent his first two seasons at
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Gardner Webb, then another two at Florida International, and then
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: he capped his career at Memphis, where he earned first
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: team All American Athletic Conference.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: He's twenty three years old.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: He started eleven games last season for Memphis, missed the
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: final two games though due to an injury, and he
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: also it also deprived him of an opportunity to take
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: part in the East West Shrine Bowl. But for size,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: six foot nine, three hundred and twenty five pounds, and
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: he does have experience manning the left or right post
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: added appeal, and he moves well for his size, plays
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: with an edge, that nasty, mean streak that you love
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: in your offensive lineman that I think should endear himself
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: to a fan base and a staff, and that length
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: thirty four and a quarter inch arms, which is a
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: eighty three and an eighth inch wingspan. He uses that
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: as a weapon to his advantage to engulf defenders. But
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I think because he has those at trades and his
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: play is steadily improved, you might think that that upside
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: and sustained impact warrants a team to almost run to
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: the podium. I like his game quite a bit, and
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I think it translates favorably to the NFL. I think
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: he comes off the board in the third round, probably
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: mid to eight third round at worst, early day three.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: But I think given everything that I just outlined here,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: he would be a third round pick at some point.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Hey, if you're like me, you're desensitized to the dozens
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: of notifications on your phone every day. But if that
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: latest ping is from your security camera, ignoring it could
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: spell disaster. Picture this, someone's breaking into your home, but
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: you're giving a huge presentation at work, or you're at
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: the movies, or you're thirty thousand feet in the sky
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: on a flight. You'll see the footage in a couple hours,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: but by then it's too late. That's why I choose
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: simply Safe. Simply Safe is a customizable whole home security
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: system back by twenty four to seven monitoring agents. I

• 16:03
  Speaker 3: use simply Safe and you should too.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Traditional security alarm systems they only act after someone has
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: already broken in, but that's too late. Simply Safe's active
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: guard outdoor protection can help prevent break ins before they happen.

• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Finally, we get to Mark hel Bell, offensive tackle out
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: of Miami. Different type of dimensions compared to the other
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: players that I talked about in that Bell is six
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: foot nine, three hundred and forty six pounds, so he
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: has the frame of a franchise left tackle. And get this,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: his arm length thirty six and three eighth inch arms
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: also supports that sentiment. Now, he is a massive tackle,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: but he spent his first two seasons at Holmes Community College.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: He started sixteen games last season for Miami was a
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: third team All acc selection. Power at the point of
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: attack really stands out. He's pretty much a wall out there.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Defensive ends. Pass rushers can't get around him, and I
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: think if you look at one challenge he may have
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: to overcome at the next level, it could be just
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: being more fluid, just being able to handle the suddenness
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: and the twitchiness and the speed of NFL edge rushers
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: instead of always being able to rely on your size.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: And the arm length.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: You have to become a little bit more fluid and technical,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I would imagine, And if he ends up in the
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: right place, I think he's going to have He's another
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: guy that I think could have an early impact, and
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: he has that ability to anchor in the run game,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: as one would expect. When he gets his mits on somebody,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: it's pretty much like Velcrow. He just drives defenders off
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: the ball and it's quite fun to watch. But in
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: light of the expected schematic changes, it is yet to
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: be determined what qualities the Eagles will most value when
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: it comes to the offensive line. But Bell would have
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: surely been an ideal match for Jeff Stoutland because Jeff
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Stoutland in that style in which he implemented, for one,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: but also his track record of player development is as
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: good as there is, so I think that when you
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: take all of that into consideration, Markel Bell may have
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: been a better fit for the previous iteration of the
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Eagles offense. But he's someone that if you're sitting there,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: you don't have I have a tackle. Probably towards the
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: latter stages of Day two, Markel Bell would be a
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: player that I would that I would keep an eye
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: on because I talk about upside.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I think you get them right in there and you
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: just have.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: An absolute wall for an offensive line. We'll do the
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: defense tomorrow because I had fun doing this one. Hope
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: you enjoyed it. Those are just eight players. That's not
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: eight players that I'm saying are or will. It's eight
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: players that I think, relative to where they're expected to
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: be selected and positions of need, would make sense for
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: the Eagles, and some of which have been reported thirty visits,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: So it's not that far out of the box in
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: terms of my line of thinking.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: That's going to do it.
• 20:42
