- 0:00Speaker 1: With the twenty third pick in the twenty twenty four
- 0:03Speaker 1: NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Brian Thomas Junior.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Welcome to Jacksonville, man, can't wait to have you, brother.
- 0:18Speaker 3: YEH appreciate you.
- 0:38Speaker 2: From Detroit to Douvall. The NFL Draft is in the
- 0:43Speaker 2: books for twenty twenty four. The Motor City did an
- 0:46Speaker 2: excellent job, by the way, and now the Jaguars have
- 0:49Speaker 2: nine new players coming to Jacksonville from this draft Hall
- 0:53Speaker 2: and welcome into the draft recap show, JP Shadwick, Brian Sexton,
- 0:57Speaker 2: and John Ozer. Plenty coming up. We'll go through all
- 0:59Speaker 2: the picks, but quickly an overall thought about this class, right, Well.
- 1:03Speaker 4: They said they wanted to get stronger, they wanted to
- 1:06Speaker 4: get bigger, they wanted to get.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Faster, and from top to bottom they did that.
- 1:12Speaker 5: I would call it workman light. I mean they had
- 1:14Speaker 5: a trade up top for a guy that clearly they
- 1:17Speaker 5: had targeted out of a few guys, and then after
- 1:19Speaker 5: that it was hard to trade this year, so I
- 1:22Speaker 5: think they had to grind out a little bit and
- 1:27Speaker 5: get spots they wanted. And now they got to develop
- 1:30Speaker 5: these guys.
- 1:30Speaker 2: And let's hear from the guy who pulled it all off,
- 1:32Speaker 2: the general manager of the Jaguars, Trent ball Key with
- 1:35Speaker 2: Ky Stevens.
- 1:36Speaker 6: Trent, we talked at the end of the season. You
- 1:38Speaker 6: said you wanted to get stronger, more physical, bigger team.
- 1:41Speaker 6: Do you feel you were able to do that with
- 1:43Speaker 6: this draft class?
- 1:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
- 1:45Speaker 7: You know that was a big focus of ours. You
- 1:47Speaker 7: always want to build your team as big, fast, physical
- 1:50Speaker 7: as you can and also look at the football intelligence
- 1:53Speaker 7: of the group. And we felt really good about the
- 1:56Speaker 7: process and really good about the group that we put together.
- 2:00Speaker 6: Was cornerback something you guys looked at and maybe the
- 2:02Speaker 6: first and second round, but then the way the board fell,
- 2:05Speaker 6: you ended up going somewhere else or was it a
- 2:07Speaker 6: different strategy?
- 2:08Speaker 7: We just followed the board. You know, we were prepared
- 2:12Speaker 7: to take a corner as high as one and as
- 2:14Speaker 7: late as need be. You know, it just it's just
- 2:17Speaker 7: how the board played out, you know, played itself out
- 2:19Speaker 7: this year. But feel really good about the group that
- 2:21Speaker 7: we put together in the positions the need that we had.
- 2:25Speaker 6: Feels like there's a lot of guys with some physical intangibles.
- 2:27Speaker 6: Maybe once you get in the building can kind of
- 2:29Speaker 6: coach up and get in your scheme. Is there anyone
- 2:31Speaker 6: you're really excited about kind of getting here and working
- 2:33Speaker 6: with all of them to be.
- 2:35Speaker 7: We wouldn't have picked them if we weren't excited about it.
- 2:37Speaker 7: And just a chance to get him in here, get
- 2:40Speaker 7: him in the classroom, get him on the field, get
- 2:42Speaker 7: him on.
- 2:42Speaker 2: The grass, and go to work.
- 2:43Speaker 7: And you know, that's all they can ask, That's all
- 2:45Speaker 7: we can ask is you know, we tell them when
- 2:48Speaker 7: we call them, you know, just give us your best.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Give us the best version of you.
- 2:51Speaker 7: And if you do that, we're going to be just fine.
- 2:53Speaker 6: As you transitioned from maybe the first couple of drafts
- 2:55Speaker 6: you did here to now where it's more draft and developed,
- 2:57Speaker 6: maybe you don't have to get a starter right way.
- 3:00Speaker 6: You can work with them a little bit before maybe
- 3:02Speaker 6: they're expected to contribute. Does that give you some more
- 3:04Speaker 6: flexibility to work.
- 3:05Speaker 7: With well, I think that misnomer of getting a starter
- 3:09Speaker 7: right away. There just aren't that many guys that come
- 3:11Speaker 7: into this league and start from day one, regardless of
- 3:14Speaker 7: what round they're picked in, you know, so you try
- 3:17Speaker 7: to get guys that have great potential, you know, and
- 3:21Speaker 7: obviously you're going to get guys with greater potentials, usually
- 3:25Speaker 7: in the earlier rounds and the tapers off from there.
- 3:27Speaker 7: There's good players at every level. There's development that needs
- 3:30Speaker 7: to take place at every level, and you just, you know,
- 3:33Speaker 7: you just try to get the makeup right. If you
- 3:36Speaker 7: get the makeup right, the physical skills should take over.
- 3:39Speaker 6: When you look at the free agency class and then
- 3:41Speaker 6: this draft class, do you feel the rosters where you
- 3:43Speaker 6: want them to be at going into training camp?
- 3:46Speaker 7: You know, we're always looking, we're always looking to build.
- 3:48Speaker 7: You know, we're going to assess everything after we get
- 3:51Speaker 7: done with college free agency. Take a look at where
- 3:53Speaker 7: we're at on the ninety man, take a look at
- 3:55Speaker 7: the needs that we had going into the draft and
- 3:58Speaker 7: what we may have coming out of the draft. But
- 4:00Speaker 7: you know, the team's not done. We're not done putting
- 4:03Speaker 7: this thing together, and you never really are.
- 4:06Speaker 8: Thanks Trent, you bet, Thank you, Tip Waalkey with Kay Stevens, Yeah,
- 4:10Speaker 8: traits are a big deal, John to a general manager,
- 4:13Speaker 8: and obviously later in the draft you look for a
- 4:16Speaker 8: certain trade or two, but up top, you gotta have
- 4:18Speaker 8: those skill sets to come in.
- 4:20Speaker 5: Oh. Look, developing a roster for four or five years
- 4:23Speaker 5: is always a percentage thing. Some guys mega, some guys don't.
- 4:26Speaker 5: Trent clearly believes in the old Bill Parcells theory, which is,
- 4:29Speaker 5: you know, don't draft exceptions because then you've got a
- 4:32Speaker 5: team of exceptions. He believes in trades, he believes in speed, size, length.
- 4:37Speaker 5: It has manifested itself to where this is a bigger, stronger,
- 4:41Speaker 5: and more physical team than it was four or five
- 4:43Speaker 5: years ago. He accomplished that. You know, in this draft,
- 4:48Speaker 5: what number of these guys make it and are great players?
- 4:51Speaker 5: I'm not sure, but over time that's a tried and
- 4:55Speaker 5: true approach, Brian.
- 4:56Speaker 4: But today I go back and I look at his
- 4:58Speaker 4: draft class last year was thirteen fourteen players, and I
- 5:01Speaker 4: look at these guys, and you do see the trades, right,
- 5:04Speaker 4: He was looking for Cis speed. They had three guys
- 5:06Speaker 4: in this draft that ran sub four three eight forties.
- 5:10Speaker 4: So I mean, roster building is what these last two
- 5:13Speaker 4: drafts have been. And I think you can apply all
- 5:16Speaker 4: of his particular characteristics and the things that he holds
- 5:20Speaker 4: as important and he's done it. He's done pretty good
- 5:23Speaker 4: job with it. The roster has a lot of pieces
- 5:25Speaker 4: to work with.
- 5:25Speaker 5: And the theory there jp is, look every draft has
- 5:28Speaker 5: necessari draft has hits if you draft guys with the
- 5:31Speaker 5: trades sooner or later, you've got a roster of guys
- 5:33Speaker 5: that are fast, strong, and.
- 5:34Speaker 4: Big jars on the shelf.
- 5:36Speaker 2: You need them. You're gonna pay a quarterback.
- 5:38Speaker 4: You're gonna have to have guys that you can count
- 5:40Speaker 4: on so that you don't have to have the free
- 5:41Speaker 4: agent market to count on guys.
- 5:43Speaker 2: All right, guys, let's dig into it. Let's get into
- 5:45Speaker 2: the picks, starting on Thursday night with the first round
- 5:48Speaker 2: draft picks, after trading back from seventeen, the twenty third
- 5:52Speaker 2: pick in the draft. Brian Thomas Junior, the wide receiver
- 5:55Speaker 2: from Louisiana State and a speedster four three three forty.
- 5:59Speaker 2: He can jump out of the gym big numbers. Last
- 6:02Speaker 2: year he led all of FBS in touchdown receptions at
- 6:07Speaker 2: over eleven hundred yards receiving. He was in Detroit, one
- 6:10Speaker 2: of thirteen prospects on the ground in the Motor City,
- 6:14Speaker 2: and you see him in the green room there waiting
- 6:16Speaker 2: for that announcement to be made by Roger Goodell, and
- 6:19Speaker 2: the celebration went on into the evening. There was an
- 6:23Speaker 2: early flight the next day though for Brian Thomas Junior.
- 6:27Speaker 2: They had to take the private jet down to Jacksonville
- 6:29Speaker 2: and he arrived on Friday morning visiting with the front
- 6:33Speaker 2: office staff. Jaguars owner Shot Con was in attendance, of
- 6:36Speaker 2: course and making the rounds. He had lunch with his
- 6:39Speaker 2: family at the Miller Electric Center and got his first
- 6:43Speaker 2: taste of life as a Jacksonville Jaguar. There's no doubt
- 6:47Speaker 2: about it though. After his visit with the media, Brian
- 6:50Speaker 2: Thomas Junior is ready to get down to business.
- 6:54Speaker 3: Come here, earn the trust as a quarterback, own the
- 6:56Speaker 3: trust on my teammates, coaching staff to know, like when
- 7:00Speaker 3: opportunity to present this suf I'm gonna go out there
- 7:02Speaker 3: and give my give my all, go out there and
- 7:04Speaker 3: make the make the play. I would say that was
- 7:07Speaker 3: my ext bestations coming in.
- 7:09Speaker 2: So that's Brian Thomas Jr. And guys, he's I mean,
- 7:13Speaker 2: he's got it all. He's just speed and height and
- 7:15Speaker 2: they can jump and he can run. I was not
- 7:17Speaker 2: on the private jet back.
- 7:18Speaker 4: I flew commercial and ran into Cortez Hankton, former Jaguars
- 7:22Speaker 4: receiver current LSU offensive coordinator in the airport. Had a
- 7:26Speaker 4: nice conversation where he said this is as talent as
- 7:29Speaker 4: a kid as.
- 7:30Speaker 2: He has ever had. He's my guy.
- 7:33Speaker 4: So you consider the guys that he's coached both at
- 7:35Speaker 4: LSU and Georgia, that speaks highly of an SEC receiver.
- 7:39Speaker 2: He's a playmaker.
- 7:40Speaker 5: Yeah, look, sitting where they were, people wanted them to
- 7:43Speaker 5: go after a one. You weren't going to get one
- 7:45Speaker 5: of the top three guys. This is the guy out
- 7:48Speaker 5: of all the all the other guys in this draft
- 7:50Speaker 5: who's sitting at twenty three had the most number one
- 7:52Speaker 5: receiver traits. He's got to develop those, but he sure
- 7:55Speaker 5: has size length stats against production. You know, I don't
- 7:59Speaker 5: know how many more boxes you have to check until you.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Like this kid, no doubt. Let's move along, speaking of
- 8:04Speaker 2: tecking boxes and trades, on to round number two and
- 8:09Speaker 2: Mason Smith, a defensive lineman from Louisiana State University in
- 8:15Speaker 2: Baton Rouge and another big body defensive lineman that can
- 8:19Speaker 2: play sixty five three hundred and six pounds put together
- 8:23Speaker 2: some big time numbers. And you know he missed two
- 8:26Speaker 2: years ago with the knee injury. Guys, but he came
- 8:29Speaker 2: back and got better as last season went along.
- 8:31Speaker 4: A lot of the measurables are the same as Jeffery
- 8:33Speaker 4: Simmons from Mississippi State and Chris Jones and not the
- 8:36Speaker 4: Mississippi State guy. He just doesn't have the production because
- 8:39Speaker 4: of the knee injury. But he's got the height, he's
- 8:41Speaker 4: got the length, he's got the strength that according to
- 8:43Speaker 4: people who know him well, he is motivated to be
- 8:46Speaker 4: a great player. I kind of like that right there.
- 8:49Speaker 4: If that's what he's gonna do and he's motivated to
- 8:51Speaker 4: do it at the next level, he can hit his potential,
- 8:54Speaker 4: which is pretty high.
- 8:55Speaker 5: Yeah, some analysts liked taking guys in injury history at
- 8:58Speaker 5: this point and some guys don't. ACL was his injury. Yeah,
- 9:03Speaker 5: young guy, there's no reason to think that any of
- 9:08Speaker 5: that stuff will affect him as he goes on. This
- 9:11Speaker 5: is the right time to be taking it. He's coming off.
- 9:13Speaker 5: He'll be two years off that injury when his rookie
- 9:15Speaker 5: season starts. You know, everything nowadays with an ACL tells
- 9:20Speaker 5: you that he's fine. Once the season starts, he's back
- 9:22Speaker 5: at one hundred percent. I don't worry about ACLS two
- 9:26Speaker 5: years out for young guys anymore.
- 9:27Speaker 4: Trent says he was one hundred percent at the end
- 9:29Speaker 4: of last season.
- 9:29Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, it happened Week one two seasons ago.
- 9:32Speaker 2: So he should be good to go. And he has
- 9:35Speaker 2: a connection, of course with the Jaguars coaching staff. Matt House,
- 9:38Speaker 2: the inside linebackers coach here was the defensive coordinator in
- 9:41Speaker 2: Baton Rugs for a couple of years. But for Smith,
- 9:44Speaker 2: it has been a long time coming to make the league.
- 9:47Speaker 9: I've been dreaming about this since I was sixty years old,
- 9:50Speaker 9: my man, So you know, just being able to live
- 9:54Speaker 9: that dream out man. And you know, I told my mom,
- 9:57Speaker 9: I told her yesterday. I was like, mine is different.
- 9:59Speaker 9: When you dream there, you're right in your face. And
- 10:04Speaker 9: like I said before, man, I couldn't. I couldn't. When
- 10:07Speaker 9: I got that co and the Jacksonville my heart just dropped.
- 10:12Speaker 9: I don't think there's a better situation for me to
- 10:14Speaker 9: go to, man.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Honestly, from Mason Smith to the defensive secondary and Jarion
- 10:21Speaker 2: Jones in the third round, this was a position guys
- 10:24Speaker 2: that I think the Jaguars fans wanted as early as
- 10:28Speaker 2: they could get in this NFL Draft. It comes in
- 10:31Speaker 2: the third round, it comes out of Florida State, and
- 10:35Speaker 2: this is the guy that grew up a Jaguars fan.
- 10:36Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a minute. But after the
- 10:39Speaker 2: draft and after the draft picked, Doug Peterson talked about
- 10:42Speaker 2: he could be a nickel, he could be a special
- 10:44Speaker 2: teams guy. He is a cornerback and he's now Jaguars well,
- 10:47Speaker 2: and he's fat.
- 10:47Speaker 4: He ran a four to three eight forty and played
- 10:50Speaker 4: on that great defense last year where he had what
- 10:53Speaker 4: three interceptions, here's one of them. Tremendous measurables and a
- 10:58Speaker 4: guy who by all accounts loves the game and is
- 11:02Speaker 4: a gym rat, the kind of guy you want. If
- 11:04Speaker 4: he's gonna come in and have to develop Jones.
- 11:06Speaker 5: He's got a chance. I mean it's it's Uh. This
- 11:08Speaker 5: is the part of the draft where now you start wondering, uh,
- 11:11Speaker 5: what he's gonna be and win, Meaning they need somebody
- 11:15Speaker 5: to play nickel. You assume the Derby and Tyson are
- 11:17Speaker 5: gonna start on the outside.
- 11:19Speaker 9: Uh.
- 11:19Speaker 5: I think he'll compete for the nickel. Other guys will
- 11:21Speaker 5: be for the nickel. Is there's still somebody else out
- 11:23Speaker 5: there they bring in?
- 11:25Speaker 10: Uh?
- 11:25Speaker 5: This is at the end of the third round, is
- 11:27Speaker 5: where you start wondering how immediate the impact will be.
- 11:30Speaker 5: I think in the long term, he's a good pick.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Well for Jones, it's not his first love with the Jaguars,
- 11:36Speaker 2: no doubt.
- 11:38Speaker 1: So when I growing up, you know, I was a
- 11:41Speaker 1: big MAURYE. Jones Drew guy like I was a big
- 11:44Speaker 1: Maury Jones Drew guy like I was a super fan
- 11:46Speaker 1: of him, you know, I was. I watched just about
- 11:49Speaker 1: I think every game that he played, you know, And
- 11:53Speaker 1: when Dalen went there from Florida State, like I was
- 11:55Speaker 1: tuned into every game He'll play inside outside, just the
- 11:58Speaker 1: way he brought, like what you brought to the game.
- 12:01Speaker 1: You know, I kind of fell in love with the
- 12:03Speaker 1: jag wat Zalen was there and especially were Mars Jones Drewers.
- 12:07Speaker 2: They you know.
- 12:08Speaker 1: So just now me being able to continue that Florida
- 12:11Speaker 1: State pipeline and come in and make plays and do
- 12:14Speaker 1: what I do based you know, it's a blessing man.
- 12:17Speaker 2: So the first two days in the books at this
- 12:19Speaker 2: point and now on Saturday, and the Jaguars started the
- 12:23Speaker 2: day with six picks, there were speculation could they try
- 12:26Speaker 2: to move up and get rid of some of those Well,
- 12:28Speaker 2: they ended up with six players on this Saturday, starting
- 12:31Speaker 2: in the fourth round with two picks, one hundred and
- 12:34Speaker 2: fourteenth overall offensive tackle Javon Foster from Missouri, and then
- 12:38Speaker 2: one hundred and sixteenth overall LSU defensive tackle Jordan and
- 12:42Speaker 2: Jefferson and guys well, these are two players that will
- 12:46Speaker 2: help the depth at the trenches on both sides of
- 12:50Speaker 2: the football that we talked about this going into the draft.
- 12:52Speaker 2: They needed to be stouter in the middle of the
- 12:54Speaker 2: d line. They needed some depth and a swing tackle.
- 12:57Speaker 2: This is what will happen on the offensive line.
- 13:00Speaker 4: The big offensive tackle from Missouri started forty games mostly
- 13:03Speaker 4: against SEC competition, and Trent and Doug both alluded to
- 13:07Speaker 4: the fact that you know he's gonna come in and
- 13:09Speaker 4: have a chance to be the swing guy, and then
- 13:10Speaker 4: you really love it again. A team that struggled at
- 13:12Speaker 4: times to stop the run to have a guy who's
- 13:15Speaker 4: as powerful as Jefferson is thirty four reps at two twenty.
- 13:19Speaker 2: Five, that was pretty barren good. They need it.
- 13:21Speaker 4: They got bigger, they got better.
- 13:23Speaker 2: On the offensive line.
- 13:24Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm hoping at this point, I wish it being
- 13:29Speaker 5: going on for a while. I'm glad it started in
- 13:31Speaker 5: this year when there was middle rounds, third, second, fourth, fifth,
- 13:37Speaker 5: start getting big guys who can see dominant in the
- 13:42Speaker 5: trenches and then and then you're not worrying it three
- 13:45Speaker 5: or four years about being dominant in the trenches.
- 13:47Speaker 2: So that was the fourth round haul and now some
- 13:50Speaker 2: depth players even further on the fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Quickly through these, starting with olmost cornerback DeAndre Prince out
- 13:59Speaker 2: of Charleston, miss Zippi, a town of about two thousand people,
- 14:02Speaker 2: went up the road to Oxford and now the first
- 14:05Speaker 2: ever draft pick from his area of Mississippi. There's been
- 14:08Speaker 2: a few undrafted players, he's the first one to come
- 14:11Speaker 2: from Charleston. One hundred and sixty seventh overall Texas running
- 14:14Speaker 2: back Keelan Robinson, but he was a return specialist as well,
- 14:18Speaker 2: and now with a need for two kickoff returners, Keelan
- 14:21Speaker 2: Robinson is set up nicely. We'll see how obviously he
- 14:24Speaker 2: acclimates to the NFL. In the sixth round, the Jaguars
- 14:28Speaker 2: Gode Kicker cam Little out of Arkansas, a guy who
- 14:33Speaker 2: was really good from distance in his time in Faaneville
- 14:38Speaker 2: and pretty consistent overall, along with fifty six yards in
- 14:42Speaker 2: his career and two times named on two different All
- 14:46Speaker 2: SEC teams as a kicker and very confident in his
- 14:49Speaker 2: post picked visit with the media. And then finally in
- 14:53Speaker 2: the seventh round, defensive end Miles Cole out of Texas Tech,
- 14:57Speaker 2: big and strong and a develop middle player is Trent
- 15:01Speaker 2: Balke told the media after the draft, and adds to
- 15:05Speaker 2: that depth on the defensive line. Head coach Doug Peterson
- 15:09Speaker 2: has nine new players and now it's on to the
- 15:11Speaker 2: rest of the offseason program and he's with Kay Stevens.
- 15:15Speaker 6: Thanks JP, Doug. This is your third draft. Now we
- 15:19Speaker 6: talked about getting to that draft and developmenttality. How do
- 15:22Speaker 6: you feel about the clash.
- 15:23Speaker 10: Gap feel really good. You know, it starts at the
- 15:25Speaker 10: top obviously with Brian Thomas, and you know all the
- 15:28Speaker 10: way down to Miles Cole, you know, and everybody in between.
- 15:31Speaker 10: And just explaining to our local media too. You know,
- 15:34Speaker 10: a football team's made up of many parts, and in
- 15:36Speaker 10: the draft is the same way. And we feel like
- 15:39Speaker 10: we've added some really good talent, competition, some depth, and
- 15:42Speaker 10: some key spots and looking forward to getting these.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Guys in here.
- 15:46Speaker 6: You took three guys from LS TOU. You focused a
- 15:49Speaker 6: little bit on the defense there. I know you have
- 15:51Speaker 6: connections with getting a new defensive staff. Was that kind
- 15:54Speaker 6: of a point where you're getting some new players they
- 15:56Speaker 6: can work with.
- 15:57Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, one of the things I really have
- 15:59Speaker 10: appreciated with and our relationship is how he involves the
- 16:01Speaker 10: coaching staff. And so with a new coaching staff with
- 16:04Speaker 10: Ryan and getting to know, you know, the guys on
- 16:06Speaker 10: defense and their involvement with this draft process, I think
- 16:09Speaker 10: Trent felt felt real comfortable with, you know, with some
- 16:12Speaker 10: of the ver and some of the you know, like
- 16:14Speaker 10: Matt House has worked with some of these guys you
- 16:15Speaker 10: know at LSU, and so there's there's there's some connections there,
- 16:18Speaker 10: and there's some feedback and and I think the whole
- 16:20Speaker 10: process has been really good, and it does help, you know,
- 16:24Speaker 10: to have that input from from all the coaches right
- 16:27Speaker 10: all the way down to Cam Little or Kicker, you know,
- 16:29Speaker 10: with with Heath and Luke talking and going and you know,
- 16:32Speaker 10: doing private workouts. So everybody's involvement really helps in the
- 16:37Speaker 10: whole process.
- 16:38Speaker 6: We talked a lot about free agency filling those gaps
- 16:40Speaker 6: and then allowing you maybe to take a guy that
- 16:43Speaker 6: you can work with before instead of expecting them to
- 16:45Speaker 6: step right in to start. Did that help you get
- 16:47Speaker 6: some flexibility in those mid rounds.
- 16:49Speaker 10: It does. And you also look at special teams too,
- 16:52Speaker 10: and you know, you take a guy like Jordan Jefferson,
- 16:55Speaker 10: you know, and and who's who's going to be. You know,
- 16:57Speaker 10: he's going to be a backup.
- 16:58Speaker 9: A role guy.
- 16:58Speaker 10: He may not be ready product in September, and hopefully
- 17:01Speaker 10: it gives you valuable time, you know, late in the season.
- 17:03Speaker 10: We'll see how that plays out, you know, Mason Smith.
- 17:06Speaker 10: The same way at Keithan Robinson who is electric with
- 17:09Speaker 10: special teams as a returner. And now with the new
- 17:11Speaker 10: kickoff rule, we'll see how this thing, you know, plays out.
- 17:14Speaker 10: We also got Tank Bigsby I currently on the roster
- 17:16Speaker 10: and in Parker, Washington, so it should be a good,
- 17:19Speaker 10: good competition. There is that that second returner. But yeah,
- 17:22Speaker 10: you look at you look at everything, especially in those
- 17:24Speaker 10: mid to late rounds, and I think sometimes the deciding
- 17:28Speaker 10: factor can be special teams.
- 17:29Speaker 6: You're gonna Africky Minichamp come in, get them in the building,
- 17:32Speaker 6: anything you're really looking forward to getting them doing or
- 17:36Speaker 6: upside on anybody you're.
- 17:37Speaker 10: Looking forward to, the biggest thing is to get them,
- 17:39Speaker 10: you know, on the fast track and get them, you know,
- 17:42Speaker 10: as much as we can in a couple of days
- 17:44Speaker 10: caught up with the with the playbook. I know they
- 17:46Speaker 10: can carry over the following week and be in with
- 17:48Speaker 10: the rest of the football team, but it's a way
- 17:51Speaker 10: too to kind of get familiar with the guys and
- 17:54Speaker 10: and and show them just how we operate here and
- 17:57Speaker 10: and what the expectations are.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Going to be for them.
- 17:59Speaker 10: Think you can all right.
- 18:01Speaker 2: Doug Peterson with the Kay Stevens. I guess we'll find
- 18:04Speaker 2: out for sure in what three, four, five years, how
- 18:08Speaker 2: this class really does. You don't know the true grade
- 18:10Speaker 2: until then, but first impressions right away, how they do well.
- 18:13Speaker 4: They check a lot of boxes, right, And if you
- 18:15Speaker 4: stretch this back through the off season, it seems like
- 18:17Speaker 4: now at the end of the draft, they have put
- 18:20Speaker 4: themselves in a position to be a better football team,
- 18:23Speaker 4: you know, contract extensions and free agents and draft, they
- 18:27Speaker 4: completed their plan to date. Now they've obviously got to
- 18:30Speaker 4: go through the off season and workout program JP, They've
- 18:33Speaker 4: got to add some undrafted rookies, so they're not completely done.
- 18:36Speaker 4: But like you said, it's going to take a while
- 18:39Speaker 4: to know for sure, but it seems like they checked
- 18:41Speaker 4: the boxes.
- 18:41Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Ethan Waugh on one of our shows
- 18:45Speaker 5: earlier in the day, set it best. Every pick they
- 18:48Speaker 5: look to make sure it either made them bigger, stronger,
- 18:50Speaker 5: or faster. That's what they wanted to get. Trent said it,
- 18:54Speaker 5: you know what, two or three weeks aft for the season,
- 18:56Speaker 5: they wanted to get more stout, wanted to get more physical,
- 18:58Speaker 5: wanted to be able to control oll you know, the
- 19:02Speaker 5: tempo pace, whatever that is of the game. They wanted
- 19:05Speaker 5: to be able to take control and I get pushed around.
- 19:08Speaker 5: They took a receiver and then they set about not
- 19:11Speaker 5: getting pushed around and getting better on special teams.
- 19:14Speaker 2: It was workman light, check the boxes. What do you
- 19:17Speaker 2: use them? Yeah, I mean it's a great start. You
- 19:19Speaker 2: got a starting receiver most likely maybe you know the
- 19:23Speaker 2: top picks you know, can contribute pretty soon, if not
- 19:26Speaker 2: right away. And you got some depths observation, good weekend.
- 19:29Speaker 4: They stayed in the South. The furthest North was was Miszoo.
- 19:33Speaker 5: And the furthest West was Texas.
- 19:35Speaker 2: So everything was it. They stayed south.
- 19:37Speaker 4: And with these mega conferences in college football now, I
- 19:39Speaker 4: mean it makes sense the SEC is going to produce
- 19:41Speaker 4: a lot of talent. The big ten's going to produce
- 19:43Speaker 4: a lot of talent as well, because now it stretches
- 19:45Speaker 4: from coast to coast.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Be interesting in future years to see.
- 19:48Speaker 4: But I just couldn't help but notice these stays.
- 19:49Speaker 5: Save a lot on the travel budget in their region.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Absolutely all right, well done all weekend guys. Appreciate Jordan,
- 19:56Speaker 2: Brian and John with us and thanks for our entire
