Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Out from the draft.
- 0:01Speaker 2: How's the board stack up in terms of value in
- 0:03Speaker 2: the in the twenty one to twenty four range where
- 0:05Speaker 2: the Jaguars are.
- 0:06Speaker 3: It's impossible to predict, you know, So I think there's
- 0:09Speaker 3: gonna be good players there. But in terms of you know,
- 0:12Speaker 3: the runs that take place and where that goes, it's
- 0:14Speaker 3: tough to see exactly who's going to be there when
- 0:16Speaker 3: they pick, because everybody's all over the map this year.
- 0:19Speaker 3: So I think they're in a pretty good spot. You know,
- 0:21Speaker 3: they'll be able to go in a couple different directions.
- 0:23Speaker 3: I think the corner group is so deep that I
- 0:26Speaker 3: do feel like there's gonna be a corner to their
- 0:27Speaker 3: liking that's there, you know when they pick.
- 0:29Speaker 2: How about overall, this seems like a situation where value
- 0:33Speaker 2: and need meet for them because they need an offensive lineman,
- 0:35Speaker 2: they could use a corner and Doug is never going
- 0:37Speaker 2: to turn down a tight end that gives another weapon
- 0:39Speaker 2: to Trevor.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they're gonna have options.
- 0:40Speaker 3: I think there's gonna be good players all three of
- 0:42Speaker 3: those spots, so you know, we'll see offensive line wise.
- 0:45Speaker 3: I kicked it around the other day about bergeron not
- 0:46Speaker 3: to sleep on him. As maybe somebody that could climb
- 0:49Speaker 3: up and sneak into that mix tight end. I think
- 0:52Speaker 3: you're looking at you know, Mayor's probably gone. Kincaid, I
- 0:55Speaker 3: think it'll be long gone. But Musgrave is a really
- 0:57Speaker 3: good player at intriguing player. Branch has been kicked around
- 1:00Speaker 3: a lot. I think there's a chance Joey Porter Junior
- 1:02Speaker 3: is there when they pick. So if that's the case,
- 1:05Speaker 3: that's what I would be leaning towards.
- 1:06Speaker 1: That would seem to be a steal.
- 1:07Speaker 2: And not to make too heavy of a comparison, but
- 1:09Speaker 2: when I look at him, I see the frame of
- 1:11Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey.
- 1:12Speaker 1: I see that length and that hype.
- 1:14Speaker 3: Yeah no, and you look at who they have on
- 1:16Speaker 3: the other side as well, So I mean it doesn't matter.
- 1:18Speaker 3: The regimes have changed, but big long rangy athletic corners
- 1:22Speaker 3: have kind of been something they've made a habit of
- 1:24Speaker 3: going after.
- 1:24Speaker 2: In Jacksonville, Jack was just sitting at twenty four because
- 1:27Speaker 2: the quarterback came on and there's a thought that you
- 1:30Speaker 2: just can't give him enough weapons.
- 1:32Speaker 3: That's what I've been screaming from the mountaintops. And I
- 1:35Speaker 3: cannot wait to see Ridley and see what he looks
- 1:37Speaker 3: like there. I've heard they are already thrown together. I'm
- 1:39Speaker 3: excited to see what that looks like. But I'm gonna
- 1:42Speaker 3: talk about it on the draft. I'm just gonna refer
- 1:43Speaker 3: to it as the Mahomes doctrine, which is, at some
- 1:47Speaker 3: point time you almost give up, you're not gonna be
- 1:49Speaker 3: able to stop them, so you might as well load
- 1:50Speaker 3: up on offense and see if you can go go
- 1:52Speaker 3: into Kansas City and win a shootout. And if you've
- 1:55Speaker 3: got three you need four weapons. If you've got one
- 1:57Speaker 3: tight end, you need two tight ends. You know, just
- 1:59Speaker 3: you can't have enough offense.
- 2:01Speaker 1: If there's a pass rusher there.
- 2:02Speaker 2: If a Lucas van Ness falls down because you're just
- 2:05Speaker 2: trying to break serve sometime in the third and fourth quarter,
- 2:08Speaker 2: is that even more tantalizing than perhaps another offensive weapon.
- 2:11Speaker 3: I would be shocked if van S were to get
- 2:13Speaker 3: all the way down there, But if he does, I'd
- 2:15Speaker 3: probably run that card up, you know.
- 2:17Speaker 2: So.
- 2:17Speaker 3: I think that's why they're They're in a pretty good
- 2:19Speaker 3: spot where they can see what falls to him and
- 2:21Speaker 3: they can go in a couple different directions. But they
- 2:24Speaker 3: have a lot of pieces in that defensive front. I'm
- 2:26Speaker 3: excited to see him continue to grow and see if
- 2:28Speaker 3: they can, you know, the group that they have right now,
- 2:30Speaker 3: if they can continue to grow and take the next step.
- 2:32Speaker 1: How deep does this draft go?
- 2:33Speaker 2: We've heard fourth round is about where you lose on
- 2:36Speaker 2: impact players. Can they wait to find an offensive lineman
- 2:38Speaker 2: in it at pick fifty six or eighty eight or
- 2:40Speaker 2: a tight end?
- 2:41Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 2:41Speaker 3: I think the offensive line, particularly the tackles, falls off
- 2:44Speaker 3: really early. So I think if you're looking at a
- 2:47Speaker 3: collection of needs, if your offensive line and you're looking
- 2:50Speaker 3: at you know, tackle maybe and kick into guard as well,
- 2:53Speaker 3: I think you probably have to address that early. I
- 2:55Speaker 3: don't believe in the third fourth round you're going to
- 2:58Speaker 3: really like what's there where.
- 3:00Speaker 1: I think in the third fourth.
- 3:01Speaker 3: Round in this draft, you're gonna have corners, You're gonna
- 3:03Speaker 3: have edge rushers. Believe it or not, I think you
- 3:05Speaker 3: really like tight ends.
- 3:06Speaker 1: They'll all be there at that point in time. The
- 3:08Speaker 1: AFC is now stacked with quarterbacks.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Your thoughts on just where Trevor got from year one
- 3:13Speaker 2: to year two and what you might expect in year three, Well,
- 3:15Speaker 2: it was.
- 3:16Speaker 3: Not really a surprise that that's who he is, you know,
- 3:19Speaker 3: and what we saw that first year. Everybody knows the reasons,
- 3:22Speaker 3: whole hosts of reasons why we didn't get to see
- 3:23Speaker 3: the real Trevor.
- 3:24Speaker 1: I thought last year, especially.
- 3:26Speaker 3: Being there for that playoff game, but seeing that live
- 3:28Speaker 3: and in person, it was like, that's Trevor Lawrence. And
- 3:30Speaker 3: the crazy part is he's just getting started. So I'm
- 3:34Speaker 3: really excited to see where he continues to go. And
- 3:37Speaker 3: I know, you know in the AFC, if you don't
- 3:40Speaker 3: have one of these cyboard quarterbacks, you have no shot.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Then they have one
