[SPEAKER_00]: It is Monday April 13th The draft didn't this week, but it is next week and that is very exciting and of course It's Monday, so we've got mock draft Monday on tap for y'all today very excited to get into it Went in a different direction at 56 the Jaguar's first pick for now as James Gladstone likes to say first pick for now is on Friday
0:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Not the first night of the draft, but the second night of the draft.
0:31
[SPEAKER_00]: We did make some moves here, a big move, decent move, in terms of trading, but
0:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Stuck and picked at 56, got a lot of picks in this draft, excited to get into it, really appreciate you.

0:56
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of the names here are familiar for folks that have been paying attention to the channel, but
1:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I think three of the top four picks we haven't mocked to the jacks before, so excited for it.
1:08
[SPEAKER_00]: At 56 went in an entirely new direction.
1:13
[SPEAKER_00]: We've drafted this position in just about every mock draft I've done, probably every single one, but this player at this spot, Oscar Delpe at 56, tie-danned out of Georgia to your Jacksonville Jaguars, be a little bit of a surprise considering everyone has been talking about pass rush, pass rush, pass rush, defensive line, right?
1:35
[SPEAKER_00]: For the Jaguars with their first few picks, but the fact of the matter is that Oscar
1:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I could sit, I could envision.
1:46
[SPEAKER_00]: James Ladsdome being up on the podium, whenever they're end up doing their recap day one, or day two recap right and talking about, Oscar Delp is a player who we really value his toughness, his grit, like the way he brings effort to the blocking department, his strength at six foot five and 245 pounds.
2:12
[SPEAKER_00]: He brings that part, right?
2:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And then athletes, they translate.
2:19
[SPEAKER_00]: They translate to the NFL game at the tight end position, specifically, and he's shown soft hands, like, doesn't drop the football.
2:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Not the best in contested situations, right?
2:30
[SPEAKER_00]: But part of the deal with drafting an Oscar Delp is you're hoping to not have him in too many contested situations, because he is in a elite athlete at the tight end position, one of the best.
2:43
[SPEAKER_00]: really, that I can remember in recent memory, athletically, his size combined with his pinchant for blocking, and that testing, and you see the testing on tape.
2:57
[SPEAKER_00]: He is consistently running away from second level and third level defenders.
3:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Crazy, crazy athlete, very strong
3:07
[SPEAKER_00]: You look at what he did as pro-day didn't run at the combine, but you look at what he did as pro-day, a 448 40-yard dash at over 240 pounds, you can pull up his relative athletic score.
3:27
[SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty wild.
3:28
[SPEAKER_00]: 448 40-yard dash, 161 10 split, excellent, the first 10 yards, 38 inch vert,
3:38
[SPEAKER_00]: 1005 broad, 23 bench press reps at 245 pounds.
3:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, the blocking abilities there, the athleticism's there, the hands is there like his career drop rates like 4%.
3:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So now you're talking about Britain's strange Oscar delped Quentin Morris on our long
4:04
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the ways these teams in the NFC that the Jaguars have shared ties with got all the way to the Super Bowl and FC Championship for the Rams is having these tight end mismatches.
4:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Being able to get your opponent into this world where they're having to decide, do we go base personnel, do we go jumbo personnel,
4:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Do we have a player who can cover an Oscar delpe, a Britain strange, but also play the run in the box?
4:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, how do we defend this?
4:39
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that the Jack Wars have a player in Travis Hunter, who you don't know game to game, how much he's going to be on either side of the ball, we have a cornerback heavy game,
4:53
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll do a Travis Hunter video later today.
4:56
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about that.
4:57
[SPEAKER_00]: But you have a corner heavy game.
4:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that's also a game where you get into a lot of 12 and 13 personnel.
5:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, with Oscar Delp, Britain Strange, Quentin Morris, and Hunter Long.
5:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think he would be an exciting, explosive element to this offense in Jacksonville, and a major change-up.
5:17
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's other
5:20
[SPEAKER_00]: You cannot argue with the fact that his profile, again, when you talk about somebody who blocks somebody who has elite athleticism and does not drop the football, that's I think you know, his college numbers receiving were never crazy, but that reminds me of some of the players we've seen really burst onto the scene in the NFL.
5:49
[SPEAKER_00]: as complete tight ends.
5:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Not gonna invoke any names here, but I've seen that story before.
5:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Traded up from 81 to 64, gave up pick 81, pick 124, fourth round pick, and a 2026 seventh round pick this year, for 64 and a 2027 seventh round pick.
6:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So we did get basically a 7th round pick swap, 2026 to 2027, and we gave up 124 essentially.
6:24
[SPEAKER_00]: To go get our mason Thomas, who is somehow still on the board.
6:27
[SPEAKER_00]: That does not make any sense to me.
6:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is over on the Pro Football Network mock draft simulator.
6:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going higher than that.
6:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he should be a first round pick, but
6:39
[SPEAKER_00]: even if it's not Armace and Thomas.
6:41
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just think Project says it's like the perfect change up past Russia for the Jaguars.
6:47
[SPEAKER_00]: They've got these hooking presents in Traywell and Walker.
6:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh Hines Allen, a big Ed Dresher in his own right.
6:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Armace and Thomas, smaller, just more burst and juice and able to burn the edge on the outside and then cross your face, just a bag of past Russia moves.
7:07
[SPEAKER_00]: give effort against the run and can make splash plays against the run, but you're bringing him in here to heat up the quarterback as your edge three for sure.
7:17
[SPEAKER_00]: One thing that I'm going to really be tracking is like,
7:23
[SPEAKER_00]: to the Jaguar's bring in players that are role players or potential three down players, specifically on the defensive line.
7:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, our Mason Thomas probably more of a role player than a true three down guy.
7:37
[SPEAKER_00]: This was the number one run defense in football last year.
7:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they want to lose that, but if you're deploying our Mason Thomas and clear passing situations, are you okay with that?
7:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably.
7:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And then at 88, a player who we've mentioned here on the channel, but haven't selected him, I think that Caleb Proctor could make sense for the jags.
8:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I really do.
8:03
[SPEAKER_00]: The defensive tackle.
8:05
[SPEAKER_00]: defensive lineman out of southeast Louisiana.
8:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He's undersized, you know, like under 290 pounds, plays in the two 80s.
8:14
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think you can move him across the front, get a lot of production.
8:18
[SPEAKER_00]: He's extremely explosive.
8:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's really good on games up front, which is the Jaguars.
8:23
[SPEAKER_00]: They deployed a lot of stunts, twists, different games up front, last year.
8:27
[SPEAKER_00]: They deployed a lot of varied,
8:31
[SPEAKER_00]: France, I think Caleb Proctor can execute in that world based on the tape, and so I think he just brings you some more juice up front than what you've had as of late in the interior.
8:45
[SPEAKER_00]: You're hoping Mason Smith can take a step forward.
8:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you're hoping Eric Armstrong said can have a good season, stay healthy throughout the season.
8:54
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really kind of what brought him down down the stretch in my opinion, his production.
8:59
[SPEAKER_00]: But Caleb Proctor injects some juice.
9:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And now you got two guys that you brought in here that can just heat up the quarterback.
9:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what you need to do a little bit better in my opinion on the defensive front.
9:10
[SPEAKER_00]: At 100, we went with Austin Barber,
9:16
[SPEAKER_00]: out of Trinity Christian as well.
9:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Jacksonville guy.
9:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think that he has like the nastiness that the Jack Wars offensive coaching staff is going to absolutely love.
9:29
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs to improve his technical consistency with like his hand placement just just being a little bit more locked in play to play.
9:41
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think physically a lot is there to get excited about.
9:45
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a really good athlete.
9:46
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants to dominate his opponent.
9:48
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants to drive them into the dirt.
9:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Quite frankly, he wants to embarrass his opponent.
9:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think the Jaguar's offensive line staff, the Jaguar's offensive coaching staff in general, could be fired up about that.
10:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Austin Barber at 100 makes him sense as somebody who, I think you bring him in.
10:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, this probably means Chuma Doga and not going to make the roster walk a little, maybe on the trade block, one of those two things for sure, but I think he and play Tackle probably play Guard 2 at the next level.
10:23
[SPEAKER_00]: And so you bring him in there as offensive line depth in your one.
10:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably year two, you're talking about hoping that he can take that step forward to compete for a starting job.
10:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't have one 24 here because we traded it to get up to get our Mason Thomas, but at 164 our next pick, we go Dion, Berks, YG, Rado, Glamma, drive it him last week.
10:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, if he's there on day three, I'm gonna have a hard time passing.
10:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I really am unbelievable athlete, reliable hands, like what he did at Oklahoma the last couple years was nothing short of incredible, just the improvement he had and the improvement
11:05
[SPEAKER_00]: attention to detail, consistent hands, crazy, crazy athlete, like top level athlete.
11:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's not a big guy, right?
11:15
[SPEAKER_00]: He's pretty undersized at receiver, but he plays bigger than he is.
11:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks to the, again, unbelievable athleticism that he possesses.
11:23
[SPEAKER_00]: At 510-180, ran a 434R dash with a 149-10 split, 42 and a half inch, 10-11 broad, and my favorite thing.
11:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, one of my favorite things, 26 binge press reps.
11:36
[SPEAKER_00]: He is strong, he is proportionally extremely strong, has good muscle mass, I think
11:44
[SPEAKER_00]: getting him on day three to come in and be a vertical threat.
11:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's a guy that can handle a lot of the jet sweeps, the screens, the quick game that Liam Cohen would like to get back to.
11:57
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't talk about that as much as off season, but
12:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone who's talking about the screen game, it didn't really work out for the Jaguar's last year.
12:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that Liam Cohen would like to get back to that.
12:07
[SPEAKER_00]: He has one of the best, just feel for calling screens and coaching up screens.
12:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I think in the league, it didn't work out last year.
12:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Dion Burks could help it work out this year.
12:19
[SPEAKER_00]: At 166, just a couple of weeks later, we go Mason Rieger, who we've talked about a lot here.
12:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And yes, it's,
12:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Narmasin Thomas and Mason Reager probably means BJ Green or Danny Strigo are really fighting for a roster spot.
12:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Could they keep five straight-up edges?
12:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, because Josh Heinz Allen can convert inside if you really want to, but definitely drive on Walker can do that.
12:46
[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, you can keep all those guys, but it's not going to be easy to make this roster.
12:51
[SPEAKER_00]: And to me, Mason Reager,
12:54
[SPEAKER_00]: plays with an effort level similar to Danny Strigger, but he's just a better athlete, similar size profile.
13:02
[SPEAKER_00]: both come from those, you know, northern Midwest schools, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, right?
13:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But I could really see, and the Jaguars have already shown an interest in him, I think they've met with him.
13:14
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's somebody that makes sense for this coaching staff for sure.
13:20
[SPEAKER_00]: High energy, elite explosiveness, very productive.
13:25
[SPEAKER_00]: It just kind of all adds up there.
13:27
[SPEAKER_00]: And then at 203, we haven't taken a linebacker yet.
13:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why some people think Bryce Bautcher could be there at this point, but it's pretty common.
13:38
[SPEAKER_00]: But the linebacker out of Oregon who also got draft play baseball, I love the way he plays the game.
13:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think the Jaguars think that they need a linebacker for 2026.
13:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they like Ventral Miller, Branson Combs, obviously foyer Luke and Jack Kaiser, but Bautcher, I think, comes in, competes, and if Ventral Miller has a type of season, where he's getting, you know, starting money somewhere else that you don't want to pay him, you have Bautcher and Branson Combs that compete to fill that role for 2027.
14:12
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a very possible outcome.
14:14
[SPEAKER_00]: At 233, we've talked about Tori Anon Pride Jr.
14:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's too good to pass up on at this point.
14:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Elite athlete, I think he's one of those guys where the chip on his shoulder feels disrespected because he's a little undersized at corner and very productive zone corner.
14:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he has good zone eyes and he's smart.
14:33
[SPEAKER_00]: So Tori Anon Pride to compete at the back end of the corner back room and look, when you are a team that is brand back as much
14:43
[SPEAKER_00]: from last year's draft class and just in general like roster construction wise, they've got 11 picks going into this draft.
14:50
[SPEAKER_00]: We end up with what, how many do we have it?
14:53
[SPEAKER_00]: 10 picks in this draft.
14:56
[SPEAKER_00]: It's possible that somebody's not gonna make the roster that you draft.
14:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just numbers wise, it's difficult.
15:02
[SPEAKER_00]: But we go and get another pass rush around the interior here.
15:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Skylar Gil Howard out of Texas Tech, I think.
15:11
[SPEAKER_00]: injuries are really why he's available at this point.
15:13
[SPEAKER_00]: He is undersized.
15:14
[SPEAKER_00]: He's under 300 pounds, but he is extremely quick disruptive past pressure out of Texas Tech on the interior that I think if he had better luck with injuries, he could probably be much higher on the board and he still might be for some teams.
15:30
[SPEAKER_00]: This draft, I think, is just going to be so unpredictable where players go.
15:35
[SPEAKER_00]: more so than any I can remember really.
15:37
[SPEAKER_00]: 245 Caleb Douglas, a wide receiver out of Texas Tech, two straight Texas Tech guys, for the jags here, big, strong, fast, great athlete.
15:48
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguars have shown some interest in him.
15:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they've met with him.
15:51
[SPEAKER_00]: So Caleb Douglas, I think, competing, they haven't signed Tim Patrick.
15:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I know he's still available.
15:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I would like them to bring Tim Patrick back.
16:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's a good special teamer.
16:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's a good, you know, depth or receiver.
16:06
[SPEAKER_00]: But as of right now, they could use a wide receiver or five and wide receiver six.
16:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Go get Dianbergs and Caleb Douglas, call it a day.
16:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good with that.
16:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Really appreciate y'all tuning in.
