• 4:42
  last night.
• 4:44
  Hope you guys have a great career, but
• 4:46
  Who went number one?
• 4:46
  Who
• 4:48
  went number one?
• 4:48
  I don't know.
• 4:49
  Some lady from UConn, I think it was.
• 4:54
  Joining us as always are expert analysts, the coach extraordinaire, coach Cody in the house.
• 5:02
  What's shaking, coach?
• 5:03
  What's going on?
• 5:04
  What's going on, fellas?
• 5:05
  How are we feeling?
• 5:07
  Feeling good tonight, man, and I'm sure you're feeling good too.
• 5:11
  Cavalry coming off another big win.
• 5:14
  Coach, you're undefeated in, like, three seasons straight now.
• 5:17
  How's it feel?
• 5:18
  I mean, I'm blessed, honestly.
• 5:20
  We just it doesn't matter who we have in front of us.
• 5:23
  We just come out there, you know, with brotherhood and passion for the sport and
• 5:29
  energy and toughness, and we just literally put belt to ass on all these teams.
• 5:34
  It's it's insane.
• 5:36
  But, I mean, shout out to the over league grizzlies making the trip from Minnesota, ten
• 5:43
  and a half hours.
• 5:44
  It was crazy.
• 5:46
  I have the defense and some of the offense with me here in Minnesota.
• 5:50
  Elberle is just south of us, Big B, about, what, forty five hour hour 15, and both of us
• 5:59
  had to drive ten and a half hours to play that game.
• 6:03
  Yeah.
• 6:03
  That's a pretty, unique situation
• 6:06
  Mhmm.
• 6:06
  In, for everyone there.
• 6:08
  Not an easy thing.
• 6:10
  Both teams it's kinda like the Super Bowl, though, right, where both teams are, you know,
• 6:14
  playing usually not in their home stadium.
• 6:17
  So, you know, you have to drive ten and a half hours to get there.
• 6:20
  Now, obviously, most NFL teams are are flying first class.
• 6:23
  Yeah.
• 6:24
  The van the van far from first class, but y'all get it done.
• 6:28
  It wasn't it wasn't as bad this time.
• 6:31
  A couple of players decided to drive separately.
• 6:34
  And so, I mean, we had enough room to sprawl out this time.
• 6:38
  It was
• 6:38
  Like, you're tired of the smell in the van.
• 6:42
  It wasn't even that, but just I mean, you know, it's so
• 6:46
  Just some
• 6:47
  big boys on that team.
• 6:49
  Yeah.
• 6:49
  Big boys.
• 6:51
  Yep.
• 6:51
  Yep.
• 6:52
  So it it's but, yeah, five and o.
• 6:55
  We we got another game this week against the Colorado rockets.
• 6:59
  They're gonna make the trip from Colorado to Gillette, Wyoming, and, and then that might be
• 7:05
  our last game for the season.
• 7:07
  I might have a surprise for everybody.
• 7:13
  Surprises are good there, coach.
• 7:15
  Again, you know, like, said, congrats on the big win.
• 7:20
  I watched some of that game.
• 7:21
  I missed I missed your little slipkick there after you guys scored.
• 7:27
  I went to do something, came back.
• 7:29
  You guys had the ball back.
• 7:30
  I'm almost like, what happened?
• 7:32
  So how did that swim kick come all about?
• 7:35
  Did you, you know, just kinda pull it out and say, let's do it this time, or was it kinda
• 7:40
  preplanned?
• 7:42
  It was it was preplanned, and, you know, I've I had tried it a few times earlier in the game,
• 7:49
  and it just you know, our kicker just barely missed, and I knew that he had got or he would
• 7:57
  get it.
• 7:58
  Instead of telling him to go 10 yards, I just told him to basically, boot it to the 15 and,
• 8:09
  try to get that awkward bounce and, you know, just send all your speed guys down there, and
• 8:15
  it just worked out.
• 8:17
  Yeah.
• 8:17
  And and, again, being that ring of football, if it hits the wall, it's still a live ball.
• 8:23
  Right?
• 8:23
  Yep.
• 8:24
  Game on.
• 8:25
  Game on.
• 8:26
  Alright.
• 8:27
  So you want that?
• 8:28
  Yeah.
• 8:29
  I was gonna say, do you coach your kicker into like, hey, man.
• 8:32
  I want this to bounce once, hit that wall, and just as much chaos as possible in there.
• 8:38
  I mean, it's not a NFL, onside kick strategy.
• 8:43
  I mean, I wouldn't say that.
• 8:45
  I I mean, it's because that's tough because, I mean, you you, you have a bounce and it goes
• 8:52
  over them boards, then you're giving up a lot of well, giving up field position.
• 8:56
  Not a lot, but you're giving some up.
• 8:59
  So it's just a hey.
• 9:01
  You know?
• 9:02
  Left side, do your best.
• 9:04
  Let's get it.
• 9:06
  Was pretty cool.
• 9:07
  It was pretty cool getting to watch on YouTube as well and getting to see that.
• 9:11
  I I watched pretty much I caught what b missed, and then b caught up for me and I tuned out at
• 9:16
  the end to check out the final score.
• 9:18
  Really awesome to see your team just perform.
• 9:20
  But I I gotta say though, coach, your defense seems to step up when they got a short field.
• 9:25
  I mean, I know arena football, but they seem to step up quite a bit on that on their side of
• 9:30
  the short field.
• 9:31
  So your defense is strong.
• 9:33
  I'd probably try to outside kick a little bit more too, but, you know, back to you on that
• 9:38
  five and all.
• 9:39
  Yeah.
• 9:39
  Well, our defense, you know, I I got so much love for the defense because there's been a few
• 9:45
  times earlier in the season where we were backed up to the goal line, and we were deep in
• 9:51
  we would either, come up with a turnover or just, stop in general.
• 9:56
  But, you know, we're every phase of the game is looking out for everyone else.
• 10:01
  We're looking out for the, you know, the brother right next to us.
• 10:04
  So, you know, when special teams goes out there and, you know, they got the kahunas to try to
• 10:10
  go for that type of play and miss out, then the bees like, hey.
• 10:13
  No problem.
• 10:14
  We're gonna step up and got your back, and they do.
• 10:17
  Yeah.
• 10:18
  I know.
• 10:18
  That that's a full team there.
• 10:23
  Yeah.
• 10:23
  I'm out there, Bubba.
• 10:25
  We see you talking.
• 10:26
  Well, I I don't know why it's doing that.
• 10:29
  Like, every time I click out of the vent or out of the the screen, it keeps doing that to me.
• 10:34
  Anyway, before we get into draft coverage and really digging into our mock draft tonight,
• 10:41
  wanna shout out our new sponsors at Odyssey Exteriors.
• 10:44
  We're gonna roll their, footage real quick and get their banner up here and rolling, with
• 10:49
  storm season here in, the Midwest as you guys in Minnesota have already seen and across the
• 10:56
  Midwest.
• 10:57
  I know they're getting some wicked weather in Wisconsin as well.
• 11:01
  Make sure you know the right people that are gonna be taking care of your home.
• 11:05
  So a word from our sponsors real quick.
• 11:07
  We're gonna come back.
• 11:08
  We're gonna get everything set up in the background.
• 11:10
  We're gonna do our draft on the ESPN NFL draft simulator.
• 11:14
  So that's kinda what we're doing.
• 11:15
  We are going to allow trades, not that we're gonna do a ton of them tonight and really just
• 11:20
  focusing on this Vikings team and the players that are available.
• 11:24
  Right?
• 11:24
  We'll talk a little bit when we come back.
• 11:27
  A little kind of war room action talking about players that coach has outlined.
• 11:32
  I guess, coach, tonight, are playing the role of KOC and kinda being the coach.
• 11:40
  Being the coach and giving us your take, you've been, you know, with these players and with
• 11:44
  your scouting department, and then b and I will kinda be in that, you know, co general manager
• 11:50
  chair kinda pulling the strings and deciding where we wanna go.
• 11:53
  So because we can run pretty fast on the draft, we'll go ahead and do all seven rounds.
• 11:59
  Screw it.
• 11:59
  I know.
• 12:00
  We we don't have a third round pick.
• 12:01
  Right?
• 12:01
  So it tends we're gonna jump right from the second to the third.
• 12:04
  We we two or three third rounds like Two thirds?
• 12:07
  I know there's one round that we don't have any.
• 12:09
  So some
• 12:09
  of these will go fast.
• 12:11
  Well, who knows what trades will all go, but we're gonna have some fun.
• 12:13
  My wife already told me she's not waiting up for me tonight.
• 12:16
  Sorry we're a little late, everybody.
• 12:18
  My kids had their spring concert tonight.
• 12:20
  And as you know, family always comes first here on the network.

• 13:44
  Can't wait to get Cole on here.
• 13:45
  Obviously, busy season for him right now.
• 13:49
  We're gonna make sure we get him onto the show.
• 13:51
  And I know, follow their, social media pages.
• 13:55
  I know he was talking about doing a ticket giveaway to a Vikings game this year during the
• 14:00
  draft.
• 14:00
  So keep your eye on their socials.
• 14:02
  We've been sharing them.
• 14:03
  I know everybody on the team's been sharing them out there.
• 14:05
  So you could win free Vikings tickets to a game this season, by following them and and keeping
• 14:11
  your eyes out for a post there.
• 14:12
  We will obviously be sharing them when we see them.
• 14:15
  Okay.
• 14:15
  So, fellas, what I'd like to do, b, can you keep the big board kinda pulled up on your end
• 14:21
  as far as that kinda goes?
• 14:24
  And what I'll do is I'll kinda run the draft to make sure.
• 14:27
  I don't know if I'll put it up on the screen or not.
• 14:29
  I don't know if ESPN's gonna sue the shit out of us.
• 14:31
  So we'll probably keep it up there.
• 14:34
  We can rattle off and kinda talk about who they think are the best players available.
• 14:38
  And then, obviously, Cody's gonna have who he likes in all of these things.
• 14:45
  So I'll do my best to kinda produce everything on the fly.
• 14:48
  We are doing this live, so you guys will have to bear with us a little bit.
• 14:52
  Try not to be too clunky on everything, but I I think this is gonna be fun to kind of assess
• 14:57
  this.
• 14:58
  Starting off first, I I think we need to talk about that that eighteenth pick.
• 15:02
  Right?
• 15:02
  We're we're in a weird spot in the draft where I think there's only probably one or two
• 15:07
  players that you or or must haves that are gonna be in range.
• 15:12
  I don't think we have the capital to trade up, and and I I don't know that I want to spend
• 15:18
  capital to trade up unless it's Jordan Addison.
• 15:22
  Facts.
• 15:22
  You know, maybe maybe you you can throw a a grenade in there as well.
• 15:27
  I don't think the draft simulator is gonna allow us to kinda throw those deals out there.
• 15:32
  Most of what I've seen, at least from ESPN, is mostly just in the draft capital range being
• 15:37
  able to kinda move through next year and different things there.
• 15:41
  And we have a deep draft and a potentially I don't know.
• 15:44
  They they throw around the term generational probably a little too loosely these days, but
• 15:49
  we have, you know, a deep draft next year.
• 15:51
  So stocking up for some draft capital next year, definitely on the table as we're talking
• 15:56
  about moving through here If there are any trades, that do, I am not sure if this
• 16:00
  simulator, actually proposes trades on its own or if we would just be making offers on that.
• 16:06
  But we'll play that as it goes.
• 16:09
  Question for you.
• 16:10
  Generational, what do we have next year?
• 16:14
  Because because, like
• 16:15
  They're saying that next year is supposed to be a deep class, definitely quarterbacks.
• 16:21
  I mean, of course, that's everybody's main focus is quarterbacks, but, I mean, of course,
• 16:26
  let's say, they're saying next year is supposed to be a big draft too.
• 16:31
  So I guess it all depends on again, I don't like using that generational.
• 16:35
  I don't like using that can't miss player because if they get on a team that's bad, I
• 16:39
  mean, you know, they can't make a difference.
• 16:41
  You know?
• 16:42
  Right.
• 16:42
  So Right.
• 16:43
  But I think I think this year and I think this year there's gonna be a lot of trades.
• 16:47
  I think a lot of people are gonna be traded to stock up next year.
• 16:52
  And, you know
• 16:53
  To try to get Manning?
• 16:56
  Yeah.
• 16:56
  There's probably a good reason for
• 16:58
  reason that you're tanking.
• 16:59
  The teams that are already at the bottom are are looking like it, but I think there's just a
• 17:03
  little bit deeper talent pool to draw from next year.
• 17:07
  At least that's what the experts and the analysts are all saying.
• 17:10
  Yeah.
• 17:11
  Yeah.
• 17:11
  Yeah.
• 17:11
  So Well, I
• 17:12
  thought I thought you meant, like, we had a bunch of picks next year.
• 17:15
  No.
• 17:16
  I
• 17:16
  think we have a horrible amount of picks next definitely heard at least from what I was
• 17:34
  listening to was kinda listening to a lot of Purple Daily, and Thor Talks Purple today and
• 17:39
  hearing him talk about the draft and and, you know, having more picks in next year's draft as
• 17:46
  opposed to this year isn't such a isn't such a big deal.
• 17:50
  So if somebody's posing a late round, you know, they wanna bump up and throw in a six for next
• 17:55
  year for a late round pick, you're listening because you're probably getting a better player
• 18:01
  next year than you would this year.
• 18:03
  And and I still think you're seeing kind of after effects from those COVID years, the extra
• 18:08
  years eligibility that people had, which kinda puts other guys maybe on a roster for a year
• 18:14
  longer and people playing for a year longer.
• 18:18
  I just and with NIL money now, right, guys can afford to stay in school and season a little
• 18:23
  bit in the college ranks, be dominant, and actually boost their value for an extra year
• 18:30
  where I I feel like, especially in the last, you know, five, six years, that guys are coming
• 18:36
  out their junior year because their value is high and you're worried about injury before
• 18:39
  you've had a chance to cast a check.
• 18:41
  Now you got some of these players that are making as much money as they're going to make
• 18:46
  as a rookie or make taking a pay cut to go into the league, although your, you know, your your
• 18:53
  raises are going to get incrementally higher.
• 18:56
  Right?
• 18:56
  So what do you got for me, V?
• 18:58
  So it looks like for next year, right now, we're sitting with one around one, round two,
• 19:08
  round three.
• 19:08
  We traded round four.
• 19:10
  We got our our round five plus a pick from Carolina, round six, and a our pick is seven
• 19:16
  and a Philly pick.
• 19:18
  So my calculations is eight.
• 19:23
  Okay.
• 19:23
  Eight picks next year.
• 19:24
  So so
• 19:25
  you already got eight already got eight picks for next year, and, you know, what we're saying
• 19:30
  is a deeper draft.
• 19:32
  Now I I don't think that means that we're trying to trade all of our picks for next year
• 19:36
  picks.
• 19:36
  No.
• 19:37
  No.
• 19:37
  No.
• 19:37
  We're not
• 19:37
  trying to do that.
• 19:38
  This team needs players now to restock.
• 19:42
  So just kinda keeping that in mind off the top here.
• 19:45
  And before we get this first round kicked off, I kinda wanna get your thoughts about a
• 19:49
  possible trade back situation.
• 19:53
  Is there one or two players on your list, coach, who are gonna be available in that range
• 20:00
  that are must haves.
• 20:02
  And if those guys aren't on the board, you're entertaining a trade back.
• 20:06
  And I'm not saying all the way to the bottom, but you're trading back, you know, between, I
• 20:10
  would say, three and five spots to pick up an extra, probably, a third or fourth rounder this
• 20:16
  year or possibly a fourth and another fourth or third in next year's draft.
• 20:22
  I mean, you know, there's always the names that we've said in the past couple weeks, but it all
• 20:29
  depends on how that draft plays out because, I mean, you you never know.
• 20:34
  It takes two, three teams to really just, put a wrench in everyone's plans.
• 20:42
  Yeah.
• 20:42
  You definitely gotta let things just play out.
• 20:45
  Yeah.
• 20:46
  I definitely I definitely think we need, to go defense, though.
• 20:50
  Defense all the way.
• 20:52
  There's not gonna be an offensive lineman there in that area.
• 20:56
  It's gotta be defense.
• 20:59
  Well and I wanna bring up one player that, you know, I I've seen I actually had him mocked, to
• 21:06
  us at one point as well, and that was Kenyon Sadik, the tight end from, Oregon, a duck.
• 21:17
  Are you interested in a Kenyon Sadik if he's there with that eighteenth pick?
• 21:24
  Yes.
• 21:25
  Absolutely.
• 21:25
  If he's there, then yes.
• 21:27
  He can't he can't mess on him.
• 21:29
  What is he?
• 21:30
  672220, or whatever.
• 21:33
  Ken, it's a dick.
• 21:34
  Six three, two forty one.
• 21:36
  Okay.
• 21:36
  Same thing.
• 21:38
  Taller than me.
• 21:39
  But, I mean
• 21:41
  Low bar, Cody.
• 21:43
  Yeah.
• 21:43
  That's facts.
• 21:44
  But just a physical, tight end that can also be, you know, outside receiver.
• 21:51
  I mean, the the dude's got talent.
• 21:53
  He's an athlete.
• 21:54
  He can't him and Hawkinson, please.
• 22:02
  Yeah.
• 22:02
  And I wonder if, you know, getting a guy like that changes, you know, the role of a do you
• 22:11
  now does Hakinson become expendable?
• 22:15
  Right?
• 22:16
  And I know we restructured the contract and everything, but you never know who's out there
• 22:20
  looking for a vet that can fill that role.
• 22:22
  If you pick up a Sadiq all of a sudden, you might be able to now.
• 22:25
  You're not gonna get a lot for him.
• 22:27
  Right?
• 22:28
  But if you're bringing in this young man who drafted him in the first round, you're looking
• 22:32
  to put him as your start starting what they call the move tight end.
• 22:36
  Right?
• 22:36
  Is that the u or the y?
• 22:39
  I mean Cody?
• 22:40
  I mean, I I think you could roll with two tight ends.
• 22:44
  You know what I'm saying?
• 22:45
  Like, I don't I don't know if that would if that would necessarily be the writing on the
• 22:50
  wall for Hawkinson.
• 22:51
  I would hope not.
• 22:52
  I'm gonna go
• 22:53
  ahead and start the draft, fellas.
• 22:55
  Let's get
• 22:55
  it.
• 22:56
  A few picks to
• 22:56
  get down to us.
• 22:57
  I'll try to rattle off some of these as they're going.
• 23:00
  I have it on fast, so it's gonna be moving here at a pretty decent clip.
• 23:04
  But trying to split screen this and stay in the moment with y'all.
• 23:08
  So
• 23:09
  Alright.
• 23:09
  I bet.
• 23:11
  Oh, there we go.
• 23:12
  We're already on.
• 23:13
  So in those picks, so Kenyon Siddiqu came off seventeenth to the lions.
• 23:19
  Okay.
• 23:20
  So best available as far as they have here now, Makay Lemon, USC wide receiver, Jordan Tyson,
• 23:27
  Arizona State wide receiver, an offensive guard from Penn State.
• 23:31
  I can't even say his name.
• 23:33
  Ione, Caden Proctor offensive tackle.
• 23:36
  Those are kinda their best available.
• 23:38
  Dylan Teeneman.
• 23:39
  Is it Teeneman available?
• 23:43
  From Oregon?
• 23:44
  Yeah.
• 23:44
  On on the board.
• 23:45
  Yeah.
• 23:46
  The safety from Oregon on the board here at eighteen.
• 23:49
  Also, Emmanuel McNeil, safety from Toledo, and Avion Terrell, the cornerback from Clemson.
• 23:55
  So I feel like we got the guys, and we have these people on the board.
• 23:59
  Although they're not at the very top, they're they're saying, Dylan, at least on this draft
• 24:03
  board, that he's at 20.
• 24:06
  And you have three players here.
• 24:08
  You have Makai Lemon on the ESPN big board is ranked 10.
• 24:12
  George Tyson ranked 12.
• 24:14
  The offensive guard and tackle fifteen and seventeen, although not positions of need.
• 24:19
  Are you entertaining drafting a wide receiver in this?
• 24:22
  And I think both of these guys be you could probably pull up their stats a little bit or or
• 24:27
  at least their measurables.
• 24:29
  But I'm guessing these are I feel like these names came up and were guys that we kinda
• 24:33
  passed on because they are slot receivers, smaller receivers, and kinda don't fit the bill
• 24:39
  of what we're looking for.
• 24:40
  Yeah.
• 24:41
  Mhmm.
• 24:41
  Jordan Tyson, 62203.
• 24:44
  Mhmm.
• 24:46
  And then Tate, 62192.
• 24:51
  So I yeah.
• 24:51
  I think when we talked, we kinda where did Downs go?
• 24:55
  I I'm just kinda curious.
• 24:57
  Let me see if I can kinda pull this up and I can't see it.
• 25:03
  Okay.
• 25:04
  Okay.
• 25:04
  There we go.
• 25:04
  I'm sorry.
• 25:06
  Caleb Downs went five to the Giants.
• 25:08
  Oh, okay.
• 25:08
  Manozzo went one.
• 25:09
  Arvel Reese, two.
• 25:11
  Bailey, three.
• 25:12
  Jeremiah Love went four to the Titans.
• 25:15
  Caleb Downs, five to the Giants.
• 25:18
  Wide receiver, Carnell Tate to the Browns.
• 25:21
  Sonny Stiles to the Commanders.
• 25:23
  Ruben Bain Junior, edge rusher to the Saints.
• 25:27
  Francis Magua tackled to the Chiefs.
• 25:32
  Cornerback, Delaine, went to the Bengals.
• 25:35
  So I mean and then just your offensive tackles, your edge rushers, Omar Cooper, wide receiver,
• 25:40
  went to the Ravens.
• 25:43
  Jermad McCoy to the Bucks, then you had Ty Simpson quarterback 16 to the Jets with Kenyon
• 25:50
  Sadik falling to the Lions, and that's where they pick.
• 25:53
  So behind us and I just kinda want to address this a little bit because now we're in this
• 25:58
  spot where there are players that are ranked higher that would be of a, you know, in a
• 26:07
  position where coming behind us now are the Panthers, Cowboys, and Steelers.
• 26:15
  So where you're looking at with Tiananmen, do you try to play this out where you can maybe
• 26:22
  snag an extra pick or two possibly, Get go back three or four spots.
• 26:29
  Get the guy that you want that fits your needs, or do you just play it safe?
• 26:34
  You pick the guy with some guys that are ranked a little bit higher on the big board or and
• 26:39
  just take your guy.
• 26:41
  What what's kind of your guys' philosophy and what you're thinking here?
• 26:46
  Go ahead, Bigby.
• 26:48
  I I mean, definitely, we got I think the wide receivers are out.
• 26:51
  So you you gotta play safe with those two.
• 26:54
  You gotta think that somebody's gonna take those if you're gonna move back at least two
• 26:59
  spots.
• 27:00
  So if Dylan's still there, I mean, you know, you you know, the Panthers are probably looking
• 27:07
  at receiver.
• 27:10
  Let's see here.
• 27:11
  Okay.
• 27:11
  So let's go to
• 27:13
  Yeah.
• 27:14
  Draft needs for him.
• 27:15
  Yeah.
• 27:15
  Yeah.
• 27:15
  Because that's gonna
• 27:16
  tell me a lot.
• 27:18
  And and the The panthers were at 17 or behind us?
• 27:22
  At 19.
• 27:23
  Yep.
• 27:23
  Yep.
• 27:23
  Panthers, cowboys, steelers are the three
• 27:26
  teams.
• 27:26
  Yeah.
• 27:27
  Panthers need Panthers need, according to ESPN, safety wide receiver edge, corner, and a
• 27:34
  running back.
• 27:37
  So So you can I would say they probably pick one of those remaining receivers and feel
• 27:42
  pretty good about it on that you could jump them?
• 27:45
  Now what I'm looking at is you're trying to get value.
• 27:47
  You're not just trying to go back one spot here.
• 27:49
  You're trying to maximize this.
• 27:51
  Because they're only Come
• 27:51
  on one back one spot.
• 27:54
  You think the you think the Panthers are gonna take a wide receiver?
• 27:59
  Looking at the way this board has fallen, there are four players right now on the big on ESPN's
• 28:04
  big board ahead of Dylan Tienenemin.
• 28:06
  Right?
• 28:07
  Okay.
• 28:07
  Two receivers and two offensive an offensive guard and offensive tackle.
• 28:12
  So me, in my head, I'm kinda entertaining what I had done before was to possibly trade with
• 28:19
  the chargers, let them jump to 18, go back those four spots.
• 28:25
  What's the chargers needs?
• 28:28
  Chargers, offensive tackle, defense tackle, edge, wide receiver tight end.
• 28:33
  See it.
• 28:34
  You can almost mark them in for the tackle.
• 28:38
  Right?
• 28:39
  Probably.
• 28:40
  And cowboys probably not taking a safety, I I would imagine.
• 28:45
  Not in the see is you have chargers go up and take their guy at the tackle.
• 28:51
  Panthers probably take one of those receivers.
• 28:53
  Cowboys probably take one of those receivers.
• 28:56
  No.
• 28:56
  Cowboys looking like Let's put ourselves
• 28:59
  in the in the steel house.
• 29:00
  I don't think the panthers are gonna take a receiver.
• 29:03
  If their need is a safety and a corner and then a couple others, like, yeah, those four like,
• 29:11
  those two receivers and two offensive linemen are up there.
• 29:14
  10
• 29:14
  spots higher.
• 29:16
  They are 10 spots higher on that on the ESPN big board.
• 29:20
  And you have to imagine that big
• 29:21
  board is probably So Dallas a lot of teams are too.
• 29:25
  So so Dallas' needs is corner safety linebacker edge and tied end.
• 29:31
  And then you said the Steelers let's see where the Steelers are at.
• 29:38
  There they are.
• 29:40
  And the Steelers' quarterback, offensive guard, offensive tackle, safety, d tackle.
• 29:47
  Would that be
• 29:48
  a second one?
• 29:49
  That you're really worried about grabbing I'm probably staying
• 29:52
  I'm probably staying at 18 and taking our guy taking Dylan.
• 29:58
  I think I think of that because I I you got too many teams.
• 30:03
  You know, you have, you know, the Panthers need receivers and stuff like that, and then the
• 30:10
  Giants are like V
• 30:12
  says play it safe.
• 30:14
  The Cowboys are obviously the worry here.
• 30:17
  I think I'm more worried about the Panthers than
• 30:21
  I would be the Panthers and Cowboys are the two teams I'd be worried about that would snap snap
• 30:27
  our guy if we drop back behind them.
• 30:31
  Yeah.
• 30:31
  I I I I'd say take Dylan right away.
• 30:35
  Yeah.
• 30:36
  Just just play it safe.
• 30:39
  Okay.
• 30:40
  We're gonna take him.
• 30:42
  Alright.
• 30:43
  With the eighteenth pick.
• 30:47
  Okay.
• 30:48
  I wanna go back real quick, and just to see where everything fell after that.
• 30:55
  Yeah.
• 30:55
  So just to go back and recap, Panthers selected Makai Lemon.
• 31:01
  Yep.
• 31:01
  Cowboys went Kaden Proctor, the offensive tackle.
• 31:04
  Steelers went Jordan Tyson, the wide receiver.
• 31:07
  Chargers went Denzel Boston at wide receiver.
• 31:11
  So Okay.
• 31:12
  And that was the the next safety was taken.
• 31:15
  Emmanuel McNeil, who was one slot under Tiananmen at 29 to the Chiefs.
• 31:22
  So maybe missed out on a little bit of dragster draft capital there, but we got our guy.
• 31:27
  And I think we've seen a lot of mocks with with Tiananmen going there.
• 31:32
  If we want to, we can always run one back and see what happens again and do this.
• 31:37
  I will have a chance to do maybe we'll do a mock trial two point o next week before the the
• 31:41
  draft actually kicks off, and we can try a a little bit different here.
• 31:45
  But just wanted to go back real quick, kinda see where things have fallen.
• 31:49
  So moving into the second round, just kinda looking at notable names and kinda positions a
• 31:55
  need possibly.
• 31:56
  CJ Allen was the first one drafted linebacker.
• 32:00
  Concepcion, the wide receiver, went to the cardinals.
• 32:02
  Colton Hood, cornerback to the Titans, position a need there.
• 32:07
  Yeah.
• 32:07
  Offensive tackle, edge rusher, offensive guard.
• 32:10
  Zachariah Branch, wide receiver.
• 32:12
  Brandon Stees went to the Chiefs.
• 32:15
  Jacob Rodriguez, who I heard a lot of talk about, went at 41, which is unfortunate
• 32:22
  linebacker there.
• 32:23
  I heard Thor was waxing poetic about Jacob Rodriguez at length today on Thor talks purple
• 32:30
  in their draft coverage.
• 32:32
  So shout out to them.
• 32:33
  Chris Johnson, cornerback, went to the Jets at 44.
• 32:38
  And then you had Traden Stooks, safety.
• 32:41
  Keith Abney, cornerback to the Colts and the Falcons right ahead of ours.
• 32:46
  So you're starting to see a run on the d b's here in round two.
• 32:51
  We'll take a look at what we have as far as the, best available yet.
• 32:57
  This is all according to ESPN's draft board, so not necessarily our own, but so best player is
• 33:04
  still available according to the ESPN big board.
• 33:08
  Max Ehanekor, offensive tackle.
• 33:11
  He was ranked 41.
• 33:13
  We're at the 49 pick 49 for the Vikings here.
• 33:17
  This is our own pick.
• 33:18
  Chris Brazel, the second, the wide receiver from Tennessee, who I think we talked a little
• 33:23
  bit about or maybe it was his teammate.
• 33:25
  I know that we had talked about Brazil there.
• 33:28
  He is available.
• 33:30
  Jeremy Bernard, wide receiver from Alabama, still available.
• 33:35
  Gabe Jacas, Illinois edge rusher.
• 33:38
  Emmanuel Pregon Pregon, Oregon guard, Kiante Scott, the cornerback from Miami, still there
• 33:47
  as well.
• 33:47
  Jadarian Price, Notre Dame running back is available kind of right in that range where we
• 33:55
  wanna go.
• 33:56
  I I feel like there's you know, with the run on the cornerbacks, you're kinda seeing the wide
• 34:02
  receiver start to pull off here too.
• 34:05
  Are we thinking, I know wide receiver.
• 34:07
  We've talked a lot about our our, you know, running back as well that we wanna get into
• 34:12
  here.
• 34:13
  Names that I dropped there, Cody, that caught your eye and what your kinda thoughts are
• 34:19
  moving into this pick.
• 34:22
  That that offensive lineman that that was ranked 41, who was that?
• 34:28
  What was
• 34:29
  his last name?
• 34:31
  Ehenekor?
• 34:32
  Yep.
• 34:33
  Yep.
• 34:33
  He caught my attention that price.
• 34:40
  What was he from Notre Dame?
• 34:43
  Yeah.
• 34:43
  Yeah.
• 34:43
  Yeah.
• 34:44
  Number 50.
• 34:45
  So there are one, two, three, four, five, six players on the big board left ahead of Jadari
• 34:52
  and Price right now.
• 34:54
  Okay.
• 34:54
  Okay.
• 34:54
  What do you think in Bigby?
• 34:57
  This I mean, yeah.
• 35:00
  I like I actually you know, looking at that max, you know, offensive tackle, six six three
• 35:06
  twenty one from Arizona State.
• 35:11
  You know, we're sitting at what?
• 35:13
  49 right now, and he was a forty
• 35:15
  Forty nine.
• 35:15
  Yep.
• 35:16
  K.
• 35:17
  So I'm I'm thinking and then you like that running back price.
• 35:23
  I kinda would well, I mean, he was second on the big board still sitting there.
• 35:30
  Yo.
• 35:31
  Man, that that that's tough call.
• 35:33
  I mean, this might be where I would maybe think about, you know, dropping back a little bit
• 35:38
  because like, Leo, like, Pummis said, you know, if we go by our board, you'll run a wide
• 35:43
  receivers right now.
• 35:45
  We're putting Cody we're putting Cody on the
• 35:47
  big board at number one, bro.
• 35:49
  That's that's our coach.
• 35:50
  Cody is our guy.
• 35:51
  Nice, sir.
• 35:52
  Yeah.
• 35:53
  Through the show, bro.
• 35:54
  So you appreciate you.
• 35:55
  I know you're a you're a big fan and a big friend of rap over at the Vocal Vikes, so we
• 36:01
  appreciate you tuning in with us tonight.
• 36:03
  Who's who's drafting you know, let's say we're at 49.
• 36:07
  Who's drafting, like, around 52, 53?
• 36:10
  Right.
• 36:11
  So we have two division rivals drafting right behind us.
• 36:14
  So the lions are at 50, panthers at 51, packers at 52, then the steelers at 53, eagles are
• 36:21
  picking at 54.
• 36:24
  So we kinda know, you know, what the panthers and steelers were needing.
• 36:28
  What's the Lions?
• 36:30
  And we'll kinda go over our division rivals here with the Lions and Packers draft needs to
• 36:34
  see where they're falling.
• 36:36
  Alright.
• 36:37
  So let's see here.
• 36:41
  Lions.
• 36:42
  Lions need edge, d d tackle, offense tackle, quarterback, and running backs.
• 36:51
  Oh.
• 36:53
  Yeah.
• 36:54
  I think with where it's at right now, there's some really good that offensive tackle.
• 36:59
  I could see the lions going there.
• 37:01
  There's an there's two offensive linemen and an edge rusher before you get to Jadarian Price,
• 37:08
  and you don't know how they feel about you know, there's a couple edge rushers behind
• 37:12
  price as well with Janice Dunkirk.
• 37:16
  What a
• 37:16
  fucking name for an offense tackle.
• 37:18
  And then then the Dunkirk.
• 37:22
  And then the packers need a corner, offensive tackle, edge, linebacker, and offensive guard.
• 37:31
  Okay.
• 37:32
  So, yeah, you're you're kinda seeing there.
• 37:33
  And Panthers, we know we're in that safety.
• 37:35
  Do we is this a point where you consider maybe moving back, getting some more capital, and
• 37:44
  then hopefully your guy, Jadarian Price, is still on the board there and you take your
• 37:49
  running back of the future in round two here?
• 37:54
  That's a possibility.
• 37:56
  I mean, I like I like that move.
• 37:58
  I like you know, I don't think we could get a fourth to move back, but, I mean, if we
• 38:03
  could've got a fourth this in this draft, I think that would be a hell of a move to get us
• 38:09
  one in every round because we don't have a pick in the fourth round as of yet.
• 38:15
  So
• 38:15
  Right.
• 38:16
  And we're not afraid of the Steelers going up and taking our guy.
• 38:19
  Right?
• 38:19
  So we could willing to go back behind the Packers from 49 to 53.
• 38:25
  I think that would be a
• 38:27
  I mean, I think that would be a safe safe Yeah.
• 38:30
  Let's do that.
• 38:30
  Let's see what we got.
• 38:32
  See if we'll we'll get them to do this.
• 38:35
  We'll see if we can we'll trade 49 to the Steelers for 53 and a, let's say, a third round
• 38:50
  next year for this one and a third in next year or second in next year, let's see if they'll do
• 38:56
  that.
• 38:56
  They won't accept that.
• 38:57
  Okay.
• 38:58
  Fair enough.
• 38:59
  So what can we get out of them?
• 39:01
  Can we get a
• 39:03
  Third next year?
• 39:04
  Like a
• 39:05
  maybe a third this year and a sixth.
• 39:07
  No.
• 39:07
  So we're looking at moving all the way back their their second and a third, four, fifth, a
• 39:15
  sixth this year.
• 39:16
  So I wonder if we could get a see, and I don't know to go back that many spots for a sixth
• 39:21
  round pick and possibly miss your guy.
• 39:24
  Don't know that that's there.
• 39:26
  Right?
• 39:27
  And and that would be my fear.
• 39:28
  I wonder if we could juice it up at all.
• 39:31
  And we have two sevens next year.
• 39:33
  So let's throw them our second and next year's seventh and see if we can get this up to their
• 39:39
  fourth, their fifth.
• 39:42
  Nope.
• 39:44
  About a third
• 39:45
  next year?
• 39:46
  Four
• 39:47
  next year?
• 39:48
  So we could get a four next year for their second.
• 39:52
  So you're essentially and that would be trading can I take this seventh off of here?
• 39:56
  So we could trade them a their fourth rounder next year to drop back four spots.
• 40:03
  So that's kind of the value that I'm seeing in this second round, and I don't know if that's
• 40:09
  necessarily worth it.
• 40:12
  No.
• 40:12
  I don't think so.
• 40:13
  Miss.
• 40:14
  Right?
• 40:14
  That's the risk we've reward in that.
• 40:17
  Let's try going to fifty fourth then.
• 40:20
  Who's at fifty fourth there?
• 40:21
  Eagles are at 54.
• 40:23
  So we can go to Philly and see if they wanna jump for our 49 and a and one of our sevens
• 40:30
  just to juice it up.
• 40:31
  We'll we'll see if we can
• 40:34
  Always gotta juice it up.
• 40:36
  Yeah.
• 40:36
  Well, you gotta Can you throw players in there?
• 40:38
  Does Alexi throw players in there?
• 40:40
  Let's throw heads in there.
• 40:41
  I
• 40:44
  I wish.
• 40:44
  If we could, he would have been in
• 40:46
  there already.
• 40:46
  I would have tried to First round.
• 40:49
  Trade back in the first round.
• 40:53
  Eagles won't accept that there.
• 40:54
  What about that back there?
• 40:55
  Man, they got two thirds next year.
• 40:57
  Come on.
• 40:57
  What do we what do we need to do, guys?
• 41:00
  What do we need to do?
• 41:03
  Yeah.
• 41:03
  This might be a part of the jack too where people are just kind of, you know
• 41:07
  Set in stone.
• 41:08
  Well, what I'm seeing now, though, is that with our next year seventh in the mix, we can drop
• 41:16
  back to 54 and pick up the hundred and fourteenth pick in this year's draft.
• 41:21
  So getting there, what would that be, their fifth round instead of the sixth round to drop
• 41:26
  back that many spots, but we're giving up a seventh rounder in next year's draft.
• 41:31
  But that 114 range, I think I think you got some good players that are available there, and
• 41:37
  we need we don't just need high rate talent.
• 41:42
  We're trying to fill up this team for this year to make
• 41:45
  And we got a hit out of this draft.
• 41:47
  I mean, that's what they were
• 41:48
  trying to And this is putting us in range where, b, what's the what's the numbers of our
• 41:52
  other picks right now?
• 41:54
  Let's see.
• 41:56
  Teams, Vikings.
• 42:03
  Where are we?
• 42:07
  So okay.
• 42:08
  We got we got the second round.
• 42:10
  We're at 17.
• 42:12
  That's the eighteenth and the third round.
• 42:14
  Eighteenth and the thirty third round.
• 42:17
  No fourth.
• 42:19
  We got the twenty third and the fifth round.
• 42:22
  So they just give me the they don't give the exact number.
• 42:26
  Oh, for sure.
• 42:28
  And then in the sixth round, we're in the fifteenth pixel.
• 42:31
  A 130 so if we do quick math here wait.
• 42:38
  Quick math.
• 42:39
  Those two things shouldn't even go together.
• 42:42
  32.
• 42:43
  And you said what was the pick that they're offering?
• 42:46
  114.
• 42:47
  So fifty four and one fourteen for 49 and a seventh rounder next year, one of our two
• 42:54
  seventh rounders.
• 42:55
  I wonder if I could pull that.
• 42:56
  Actually, if I pull that seventh off, it it stays acceptable too.
• 43:01
  So 49 for fifty four and one fourteen.
• 43:06
  So straight up the two picks for the one to slide up four spots five spots, I guess.
• 43:13
  So we're lucky that yeah.
• 43:17
  That means that one fourteenth, that would yeah.
• 43:19
  I I'd say let's let's go let's roll with it.
• 43:22
  Let's do it.
• 43:22
  Let's do
• 43:23
  fourth rounder, isn't it?
• 43:24
  33 That's still a fourth rounder.
• 43:27
  Fourth round pick there.
• 43:29
  So
• 43:29
  Yeah.
• 43:30
  That's just not a fourth round pick.
• 43:31
  So
• 43:32
  See, with this, if you miss out on Jadarian Price with this one, you're not because you're
• 43:37
  gonna have other players that are in that bubble right
• 43:40
  there. Like
• 43:40
  Like I like the kid that's actually from Minnesota that went to Nebraska, I think.
• 43:44
  Emmett Johnson.
• 43:45
  Yeah.
• 43:45
  Yeah.
• 43:46
  Yep.
• 43:46
  Okay.
• 43:47
  Cool.
• 43:47
  Well, we're gonna go ahead and consummate this trade.
• 43:49
  So just so everyone kinda knows what we're doing, you know, what's going on here.
• 43:53
  Let me make a banner of Vikings trade pick.
• 44:01
  This is fun.
• 44:02
  I see why people get addicted to this shit.
• 44:04
  You know what I'm saying, though?
• 44:06
  Oh, man.
• 44:07
  Now now just take it two years when we're at the draft that's in Minnesota.
• 44:13
  I mean, how addictive is that gonna be?
• 44:14
  I mean, just sit there, you know, with the with the boys.
• 44:18
  I'll invite you guys into the war room with me.
• 44:21
  There you go.
• 44:22
  See,
• 44:23
  I I love the way you think, coach.
• 44:25
  Mhmm.
• 44:29
  No.
• 44:29
  I I like this one a lot because we need to look for creative ways to to get better and to get
• 44:35
  deeper with this.
• 44:37
  And and if anybody's watching that has connections to getting into the draft room with
• 44:41
  Minnesota, I mean, just, you know, send us the the clip here and, you know, we'll help them
• 44:46
  out.
• 44:46
  Sure.
• 44:47
  All they gotta do is hire me.
• 44:51
  Don't worry, coach.
• 44:52
  It's coming.
• 44:52
  Alright.
• 44:52
  So I'm gonna go ahead and make the trade.
• 44:54
  Eagles accepted.
• 44:55
  Okay.
• 44:56
  So what ended up happening, we'll just kinda review that real quick.
• 45:00
  Eagles drafted Jeremy Bernard, the wide receiver.
• 45:04
  Alliance drafted that offensive tackle Maxi.
• 45:07
  And, of course, stop it, Cat.
• 45:08
  Panthers drafted Chris Brazel, the second wide receiver from Tennessee.
• 45:14
  Packers drafted Malik Muhammad, the cornerback.
• 45:17
  Steelers drafted Gabe Jakos the edge.
• 45:19
  So Jadarius Price at 54, still available.
• 45:24
  So
• 45:25
  Let's go ahead and do it.
• 45:26
  I I I would I would say let's go.
• 45:28
  Let's go.
• 45:29
  Do have Kiante Scott, the cornerback.
• 45:31
  I don't know if there's a discussion here yet about that.
• 45:34
  Now, Cody, I know you said in the war room before the draft started, we are going all
• 45:38
  defense.
• 45:39
  So let's put it on you.
• 45:41
  You have these two players available.
• 45:43
  A lot of talk about Jadarian Price, who is obviously playing behind Jeremiah Love this
• 45:48
  year.
• 45:48
  But every bit as talented of a of a running back, I I think.
• 45:54
  Different styles, but I think a lot of talent here.
• 45:58
  But you have a need in this secondary for younger, better talent.
• 46:04
  So, Kiante Scott, b, tell us a little bit more, and we're gonna put it on coach Cody if he's
• 46:12
  gotta have the quarterback or if he's willing to seed a little bit here to the offense and
• 46:18
  let us go get a good running back.
• 46:20
  So he's ranked seventh overall in the big board on corners.
• 46:24
  He's overall 48, so he's you know, we're getting a little bit of value there.
• 46:29
  Five eleven one ninety three.
• 46:34
  Alright.
• 46:35
  Alright.
• 46:35
  So not a small guy.
• 46:38
  He had he had a on him
• 46:39
  at all be as far as playing style?
• 46:43
  He had 42 set or 42 solo tackles, two forced fumbles, two picks.
• 46:50
  Past deflections, I think he had five.
• 46:54
  Over his four year career, you know, he he only had three picks.
• 47:03
  He had about six sacks.
• 47:05
  You know?
• 47:05
  So his his senior year was his best year.
• 47:08
  His freshman year wasn't too bad.
• 47:10
  So he must have had some injuries last year in 2023 coming out of San Diego.
• 47:19
  So
• 47:20
  Transferred to Miami then.
• 47:23
  Went through the transfer portal.
• 47:24
  Played at Miami.
• 47:25
  Now was he a slot corner for them then?
• 47:28
  I'm kinda judging.
• 47:29
  I
• 47:30
  feel like he had to be with all them sacks.
• 47:32
  Right.
• 47:33
  It was it was tackled, not sacks.
• 47:35
  I'm sorry.
• 47:35
  Oh, okay.
• 47:36
  Okay.
• 47:36
  I'm sorry.
• 47:37
  Yeah.
• 47:37
  He was in Auburn for three years and then Miami for his fourth year.
• 47:43
  So Okay.
• 47:45
  It's a lot of good ball, man.
• 47:47
  Auburn's a hell of a football team as well.
• 47:49
  I I wonder why the transfer to Miami if he was just getting pushed out or maybe, like you
• 47:54
  said, a an injury in there.
• 47:58
  This is a little bit tougher than than we thought because we were able to get extra
• 48:02
  value.
• 48:03
  Right?
• 48:03
  We picked up another pick later in the draft and but you have a a position of need because
• 48:10
  you weren't able to really go out and get someone at running back.
• 48:15
  You have cornerbacks on the roster that you are at least serviceable with, we'll say, and I
• 48:23
  feel like there's there.
• 48:24
  So I think for my money, I'm leading towards Jadarian Price over a slot corner at this value
• 48:34
  here, and I think you're getting a little bit of value anyway.
• 48:37
  We're picking at 54.
• 48:38
  These players are ranked forty eight and fifty respectively, Scott and Price, on the big
• 48:43
  board.
• 48:43
  Yep.
• 48:43
  So I don't think you can go wrong.
• 48:45
  It it is where what fits into there.
• 48:47
  So I'm gonna put it on I'm gonna put it on the coach.
• 48:50
  I kinda said my piece.
• 48:52
  We're gonna leave it up.
• 48:53
  And just to let you know, price last year, 113 carries, 674 yards, 11 touchdowns.
• 49:00
  He had two receiving touchdowns also with six catches.
• 49:04
  So I mean, know, he only played three years
• 49:07
  six balls and two of them went for tutties.
• 49:09
  Yeah.
• 49:09
  I like those I like those.
• 49:11
  Yeah.
• 49:11
  Right?
• 49:12
  Yeah.
• 49:12
  So And Notre Dame don't pass much.
• 49:15
  No.
• 49:15
  They don't pass much.
• 49:16
  They are a run team.
• 49:17
  So I I'm I'm going either way, guys.
• 49:20
  I mean, you know, coach, I guess it's up to you.
• 49:23
  I know, man.
• 49:24
  Wanna do.
• 49:25
  I mean gonna lie.
• 49:26
  I'm not gonna lie.
• 49:27
  We have a solid offense, but we missed out on that running game, and we haven't been the same
• 49:34
  since AP.
• 49:35
  Not saying this dude's gonna be AP, but
• 49:38
  Lot of team.
• 49:39
  Let's go ahead and bring him in.
• 49:40
  Run.
• 49:41
  Yep.
• 49:41
  Bring him on it.
• 49:43
  You know, you gotta I like the choice.
• 49:45
  I I feel like there's and we talked a lot about the, and we have way more like, cornerback is a
• 49:51
  need on this team, I feel like, but we talked a lot where we filled our safety role with
• 49:55
  Tienanmen in the first round, going corner or running back here rather after you traded back
• 50:01
  and got another pick.
• 50:02
  Right?
• 50:02
  So this pick is always gonna be like, well, yeah, you you took a running back, but you also
• 50:06
  got one fourteen.
• 50:08
  So there's always like, you know, yeah, you got Jadarian and a backpack that had another player
• 50:14
  in it.
• 50:14
  Right?
• 50:15
  So I I I think a great move here.
• 50:17
  I got a question.
• 50:18
  I got a question real quick.
• 50:19
  Yeah.
• 50:20
  So with those, we don't have a third round pick.
• 50:24
  Correct?
• 50:24
  No.
• 50:25
  We have two.
• 50:26
  Oh, we have two?
• 50:27
  We I thought you that was a fourth round.
• 50:29
  No.
• 50:29
  Fourth round, we had none now.
• 50:30
  I mean, we have one now, but we had none going into the draft.
• 50:34
  Oh, okay.
• 50:34
  Okay.
• 50:34
  Alright.
• 50:35
  Alright.
• 50:35
  Bet.
• 50:36
  I was gonna say we gotta trade up and get a third,
• 50:38
  but we're good to go.
• 50:39
  We got we another thing
• 50:41
  that we could talk about with draft capital right now.
• 50:44
  Because as you get into these third and fourth, the value starts to get a a lot better with the
• 50:48
  picks that we have.
• 50:49
  Right?
• 50:50
  So we can talk about trading back up if we need to into that round that we don't have or or if
• 50:56
  we filled that already.
• 50:57
  So So we went back to 53.
• 51:00
  The Viking Select Jadarian price.
• 51:03
  Yeah.
• 51:03
  I I I that.
• 51:05
  Happy with that.
• 51:06
  Yep.
• 51:06
  You just have
• 51:06
  to have a coach that can run.
• 51:08
  I mean, that's the whole thing.
• 51:09
  You know?
• 51:10
  I love to run the ball.
• 51:11
  Let's go.
• 51:11
  Give me a call.
• 51:12
  Let's go.
• 51:13
  Yeah.
• 51:13
  And you got a hell of a running back with the cavalry and Speedy too, man.
• 51:17
  So that's pretty awesome.
• 51:18
  So we trade back to 54.
• 51:21
  We get our Gaijadarian price, and we'll go ahead and click that in there.
• 51:25
  Love the pick.
• 51:26
  Now we're picking again at 82.
• 51:29
  So let's go back, and we'll just kinda, recap real quick who, picked after that the rest of
• 51:36
  the, second round.
• 51:39
  Keaante Scott went two picks later to the Jaguars.
• 51:42
  You had a linebacker, Jay Golde, went to the Bears.
• 51:47
  The bears selected again at 60, Josiah Charter.
• 51:50
  So they're going heavy on linebacker in this bears draft.
• 51:54
  Pretty wild to watch that.
• 51:55
  Little bit of a run on edge players here at the end of round two.
• 51:58
  Rams select TJ Parker.
• 52:00
  Broncos select Malachi Lawrence.
• 52:02
  Patriots select r Mason Thomas, and Seahawks select Keyron Crawford, all edge there at the
• 52:11
  end of the second round.
• 52:13
  So a huge run on the remaining edge players there at the end of the second.
• 52:19
  Starting off round three, the cardinals took Max Claire, the tight end.
• 52:24
  Dominique Orange, defensive tackle, went to the titans.
• 52:28
  Keelan Rutledge, offensive guard, went to the raiders.
• 52:31
  Derek Moore, edge to the eagles.
• 52:33
  AJ Halsey, I know I know Halsey's name came up in our talk.
• 52:39
  Safety went to the Texans at 69.
• 52:42
  Nice.
• 52:43
  Antonio Williams, wide receiver to the Commanders.
• 52:47
  Defensive tackle, Xavion Harris to the Bengals at 72.
• 52:53
  D'Angelo Ponds, cornerback to the Saints at 73.
• 52:57
  Oh.
• 52:59
  Was that one of your guys?
• 53:00
  Pinsolo Ponds.
• 53:02
  Yep.
• 53:03
  So he's off the board at 73.
• 53:06
  Mike Washington, another running back in there.
• 53:08
  So you had, you know, Kyle Lewis, Bud Clark, another safety off the board at 79.
• 53:18
  Austin Barber, offensive tackle, Deshaun, Schribling, wide receiver to the Jaguars.
• 53:23
  That was eighty and eighty one right ahead of ours.
• 53:25
  So round three, eighty two.
• 53:28
  Let's get into our big board here remaining, ranked 71, 72, 73.
• 53:37
  So you're still getting some value here with some of these players.
• 53:40
  We have Ted Hurst, the wide receiver from Georgia State, is still available.
• 53:45
  Jalen Kilgore, safety from South Carolina Mhmm.
• 53:48
  Is available.
• 53:50
  Skyler Bell, a wide receiver from Yukon, and another wide receiver, Chris Bell.
• 53:55
  So you got a couple of bells ringing here, wide receiver available.
• 53:59
  And then we have Jake Slaughter, safety from or sorry, center from Florida.
• 54:05
  Sam Heck, center from Kansas State, wide receiver Dion Birx from Oklahoma, and safety
• 54:12
  Zaki Wheatley from Penn State, all kind of in this, you know, top eight or so available on
• 54:20
  the big board yet.
• 54:21
  Cody, just kind of general thoughts about what you're thinking.
• 54:26
  Lot of wide receivers on the board right in here, but a couple of these safeties that I
• 54:30
  know have to be peaking your interest because we have to get better on that defensive back
• 54:36
  end.
• 54:36
  I don't mind double dipping.
• 54:38
  You lost a generational player potentially.
• 54:41
  He's out there in free agent land still, with the hit man being possibly available.
• 54:47
  But, do you think that double dipping, even though you got Tinaman in the first round
• 54:53
  there, that double dipping at that safety position is something that we should be
• 54:59
  considering right now?
• 55:01
  Well, I mean, first of all, I should've said, like, trade our third and one of and the fourth
• 55:10
  or something to get higher up there because I wanted, downs.
• 55:16
  Damn.
• 55:17
  If this was Madden, I'm turning off the Xbox right now.
• 55:22
  Pawns, you're saying?
• 55:24
  Yeah.
• 55:24
  Yeah.
• 55:24
  Pawns.
• 55:25
  Pawns.
• 55:26
  Now see, that might have been too heavy of a lift because he went at 73.
• 55:31
  Yeah.
• 55:31
  That's 10.
• 55:31
  Yeah.
• 55:33
  Nine spots.
• 55:34
  You're you're giving away a lot of picks, and we need picks.
• 55:38
  And that, I guess, would be my pushback on trying to get up that high.
• 55:41
  Now if we were going through this a little bit slower and watching them come off and pawns is
• 55:46
  available at 80, I think we have enough to make that move and to move up to the spot.
• 55:51
  To get up nine, I just don't I don't think it was gonna happen.
• 55:56
  Unfortunately for us, with
• 55:58
  the needs that we have this year, you didn't pick up the extra one in the fourth to go ahead
• 56:05
  and trade it and another pick.
• 56:07
  Right?
• 56:07
  Because you'd probably have to trade two picks, I would assume, to get that high.
• 56:11
  Maybe a fourth and a sixth or seventh to get up those 10 spots, if not a fourth and a fifth.
• 56:17
  So and I don't think we have a fifth.
• 56:19
  So Right.
• 56:19
  Well and I do that Kilgore, I do remember us talking about him and covering him.
• 56:26
  Why don't
• 56:27
  you give us a little profile on on Kilgore real quick, b, while while we're kinda talking about
• 56:31
  him?
• 56:32
  Alright.
• 56:33
  What position again?
• 56:35
  Safety.
• 56:36
  Safety.
• 56:37
  Kilgore.
• 56:42
  Where is he?
• 56:47
  Oh, I can't find him.
• 56:50
  Safety Kilgore.
• 56:51
  There he is.
• 56:52
  South Carolina.
• 56:54
  61210.
• 56:57
  He's sixth overall in the position, seventy first on the big board stat wise.
• 57:06
  Last year, 32 solo tackles, two picks, 10 pass deflections over his career.
• 57:15
  Twenty twenty four, he had five picks.
• 57:18
  So for his career, had eight total because he had one his freshman year.
• 57:23
  You know, definitely looks like to be a hard hitter, had 22 assist assisted tackles last
• 57:30
  year.
• 57:30
  So definitely a guy I would probably consider at this pick.
• 57:35
  Oh, yeah.
• 57:38
  Yeah.
• 57:39
  No.
• 57:39
  I lock him in.
• 57:41
  Lock him in.
• 57:42
  Honestly, he seems like the perfect fit.
• 57:46
  Well, not perfect fit because he went earlier, but definitely for the value, sixth what'd you
• 57:53
  say?
• 57:53
  Sixth?
• 57:54
  Dude, I know that we're looking at our free safety spot as one of need.
• 57:59
  But to finish out the year last year, you had a cornerback playing that other safety spot.
• 58:06
  So you really need both safeties.
• 58:08
  Now Kilgore definitely sounds like he played strong safety.
• 58:12
  This guy is in the box.
• 58:13
  It's six one two eighteen, you said?
• 58:16
  That's somebody who can drop the hammer.
• 58:17
  He's only going to probably get bigger when he gets into the league.
• 58:21
  You're talking about a guy that's probably gonna play around two twenty five.
• 58:26
  I I think you need this.
• 58:27
  And I I think it's honestly something that the Vikings haven't had on this team.
• 58:33
  As someone who can come up and fill that box now I know in this hybrid defense that that
• 58:41
  Biflow likes to play, But at at six one something, you know, two two plus, right, two
• 58:47
  fifteen plus, this guy can still move.
• 58:50
  And he's almost a hybrid linebacker, I would say, at that point.
• 58:54
  Right?
• 58:54
  Like, that's a that's a big dude out there playing safety.
• 58:58
  Like a Cam Chancellor.
• 59:00
  Yeah.
• 59:00
  Which I think is something that, you know, for B Flow and Cody, for you as a defensive guy,
• 59:06
  someone that can come up and fill that box so that you can leave your first pick, Tinaman,
• 59:11
  who I think plays more of that traditional free safety role and has the, you know, the ability
• 59:17
  to play that center field position.
• 59:19
  You you're kinda leaving him out there to just do his thing and not worry about it because
• 59:24
  you've you've had an embarrassment of riches at the safety position with the hitman.
• 59:28
  Right?
• 59:29
  You had a guy that could do it all.
• 59:30
  He can blitz.
• 59:31
  He can he's a sure tackler in open space.
• 59:34
  He can play that center field position.
• 59:36
  He can quarterback your defense.
• 59:39
  It takes two guys to fill those shoes.
• 59:42
  Right?
• 59:43
  So I I'm with you.
• 59:44
  Bee, you in agreement with us as well?
• 59:47
  Let me just read off.
• 59:48
  This might change a little topic here, but his predraft analyst, as a run stopper, has all the
• 59:55
  tools, but needs to be more active as he transitions to the next level.
• 59:59
  It would be a good to see him see more pop behind his pads.
• 1:00:05
  He has trouble with missing tackles and needs to fix angle pursuits versus the pass.
• 1:00:12
  It is much more productive in man coverage than when he is in zone.
• 1:00:18
  He can get lost in space in zone coverage.
• 1:00:20
  So that's a little recap on him.
• 1:00:23
  But What what
• 1:00:24
  I'm hearing from that, Cody,
• 1:00:25
  and and maybe connect correct me if I'm wrong in this, but what I'm hearing is a guy who
• 1:00:33
  plays on ins or or doesn't play on instincts, plays on athletic ability.
• 1:00:38
  Right?
• 1:00:38
  He's good in man because he can he can put his hands on him.
• 1:00:41
  Right?
• 1:00:42
  He's running right with him.
• 1:00:43
  He knows where the instincts because well and zone defense is much more of, like, your
• 1:00:49
  anticipation.
• 1:00:50
  Right?
• 1:00:51
  It is the right word.
• 1:00:52
  Instincts, anticipation.
• 1:00:54
  You can't always coach those things into a player, but you can teach them better angles.
• 1:00:59
  You can teach them timing on blitzes.
• 1:01:02
  I think this is a guy that Bflow is kinda gonna be pounding the table for if he's available.
• 1:01:09
  72 on the big board, and you're picking him at 82 without having to trade up at all.
• 1:01:14
  Well, in good size and speed, you put him man to man on a big tight end.
• 1:01:20
  I like I like the mods.
• 1:01:22
  Hey.
• 1:01:23
  Hey, Who did you want?
• 1:01:26
  The Ponds.
• 1:01:27
  Ponds.
• 1:01:28
  The cornerback.
• 1:01:29
  Oh, the corner.
• 1:01:30
  Okay.
• 1:01:32
  Alright.
• 1:01:32
  From Indiana.
• 1:01:34
  Just wanna see where he's at here.
• 1:01:37
  But, no, I like it.
• 1:01:39
  I mean and we have been, spoiled at the safety position with, you know, Harrison Smith for a
• 1:01:47
  decade damn near.
• 1:01:49
  And then before him, you had Corey Chavis, Brian Russell for a little bit.
• 1:01:53
  You know?
• 1:01:54
  Like, we've we've been we've been, spoiled at that position.
• 1:02:01
  Yeah.
• 1:02:02
  I I think it would have been a good I mean, if we could have moved up and got, you know,
• 1:02:07
  Terrell like coach would want, I think that would good too.
• 1:02:10
  On the big board, B.
• 1:02:11
  Do you have that pulled up?
• 1:02:13
  He was, let's see, Avad Treadwell from Clemson?
• 1:02:19
  No.
• 1:02:19
  No.
• 1:02:19
  No.
• 1:02:20
  No.
• 1:02:20
  No.
• 1:02:20
  Ponds.
• 1:02:21
  From Indiana.
• 1:02:22
  Yeah.
• 1:02:23
  Jeremiah Ponds.
• 1:02:24
  Oh, there he is.
• 1:02:25
  Alright.
• 1:02:27
  D'Angelo pawns.
• 1:02:28
  The D'Angelo pawns.
• 1:02:29
  I'm getting them too mixed up.
• 1:02:31
  That that was so he's 59180.
• 1:02:34
  He's overall 66, ninth on the big board at the position.
• 1:02:40
  Undersized, but he is sticky and plays with energy, following coaches from Kurt from James
• 1:02:50
  Madison to Indiana.
• 1:02:52
  Paz is a key player for the CPF championship.
• 1:02:56
  He is twitchy and very good short area quickness and does a great job diving on the
• 1:03:03
  ball on his break.
• 1:03:06
  So he
• 1:03:06
  was already he was already down a few spots from his big board space when he got picked at
• 1:03:13
  that.
• 1:03:13
  You may have to be confident in that, I feel like you woulda had to move up 12 spots, right,
• 1:03:20
  to be
• 1:03:20
  confident in actually selecting him out there.
• 1:03:23
  So I I think we did right.
• 1:03:25
  We get Jalen Kilgore.
• 1:03:27
  I'm gonna go ahead and make this pick.
• 1:03:28
  I think we're getting a
• 1:03:29
  good ball player here.
• 1:03:31
  I
• 1:03:36
  I I just think he's a great fit for what this team is.
• 1:03:40
  The guys that Bflow really likes
• 1:03:43
  It does sound like he needs to be, you know, have a good teacher.
• 1:03:47
  So, I mean, he's gonna have Bflow and then hopefully, Hitman will be another guy that's in
• 1:03:52
  the if he's not on the roster in in the study films and helping develop develop Yeah.
• 1:04:03
  On to the fourth round.
• 1:04:05
  No.
• 1:04:05
  We got another third round pick.
• 1:04:08
  Oh.
• 1:04:09
  Oh, we just have two thirds.
• 1:04:11
  Oh, we could have got him.
• 1:04:13
  Oh.
• 1:04:15
  I
• 1:04:15
  I I don't know if I could let that go.
• 1:04:17
  I don't know.
• 1:04:18
  I don't know if I would trade both third rounds to move up to get your guy.
• 1:04:21
  Oh, no.
• 1:04:22
  Not not both.
• 1:04:22
  Third rounds.
• 1:04:23
  But
• 1:04:23
  I think that's what it would have taken, though.
• 1:04:25
  Or I'm gonna play yeah.
• 1:04:27
  Or, like, it might have been a fourth, fifth, and a next year's, we can maybe when we do a
• 1:04:33
  draft next week, we'll see if we can trade up and get him and see what it takes to to do
• 1:04:37
  that.
• 1:04:37
  But I think we got a good ball player.
• 1:04:39
  I I think we got someone I remember talking about Kilgore when we were going through our
• 1:04:44
  draft coverage a bit and that being someone who fits the bill of this team.
• 1:04:49
  I think Beefalo I think this guy starts.
• 1:04:51
  Right?
• 1:04:52
  I think Akilgor gets on the field right away.
• 1:04:54
  He has the size to do it.
• 1:04:56
  You have someone, and and because he's playing off that physical ability, that beefalo puts
• 1:05:01
  him in that position to just go be physical.
• 1:05:03
  Right?
• 1:05:04
  Mhmm.
• 1:05:04
  Yeah.
• 1:05:04
  But if you but if you got if you got the Telemann character first, I don't know if he I
• 1:05:08
  mean, you know, one of them is good at this.
• 1:05:10
  I think you're starting I think you're starting
• 1:05:12
  You're starting both of them.
• 1:05:13
  I think you're starting two rookies at safety this year.
• 1:05:15
  Did you get both of these guys?
• 1:05:17
  Yeah.
• 1:05:18
  I think you
• 1:05:18
  started all.
• 1:05:19
  Okay.
• 1:05:19
  You started two of them if if Hitman does come back.
• 1:05:24
  But if Hitman comes back, you're one of them is not gonna be starting.
• 1:05:28
  Yeah.
• 1:05:28
  That changed it.
• 1:05:28
  And, honestly
• 1:05:29
  One could go nickel at that point.
• 1:05:32
  Right.
• 1:05:32
  Well, you're playing a hybrid defense.
• 1:05:35
  Right?
• 1:05:35
  That's what's out of position.
• 1:05:36
  And that's why I think I like the Kilgore pick so much is that he feels like
• 1:05:40
  a guy that you can put on
• 1:05:42
  a tight end.
• 1:05:43
  He's physical.
• 1:05:44
  He you're probably not putting him on NFL wide receivers, but somebody that can come down and
• 1:05:49
  guard that so you can leave Cashman out there to kinda cover the running back because I think
• 1:05:56
  where Cashman is a little bit you know, especially with the injuries stacking up for
• 1:06:01
  him, It's getting harder and harder for him to go out and guard NFL tight ends.
• 1:06:06
  Right?
• 1:06:06
  So, now we're at pick 97.
• 1:06:09
  Only 15 picks later here.
• 1:06:12
  We'll just kinda go back and recap a little bit of the picks after Kilgore.
• 1:06:17
  Sam Rausch tight end to the Panthers after us.
• 1:06:21
  Romello Heights, edge rusher to the Packers.
• 1:06:24
  Joshua Joseph's edge rusher to the Steelers.
• 1:06:26
  Trane Spoon, the third offensive tackle to the Chargers.
• 1:06:31
  Danny Dennis Sutton, Edge to the dolphins.
• 1:06:35
  Davison, Iggbjornson, cornerback to the jaguars.
• 1:06:40
  Then you had the wide receivers go.
• 1:06:42
  Ted Hurst, 89 to the bears.
• 1:06:44
  Skyler Bell, 90 to the dolphins.
• 1:06:47
  Jayshawn Baram, an edge rusher to the bills.
• 1:06:51
  Now you have the other, Bell wide receiver, Chris Bell going to the cowboys.
• 1:06:56
  Dion Burks, a wide receiver to the rams.
• 1:06:58
  Jaylen Farmer, offensive guard to the Dolphins at 94.
• 1:07:03
  Bryce Lance, that's Trey's brother, isn't it?
• 1:07:06
  Mhmm.
• 1:07:07
  Yeah.
• 1:07:07
  Wide receiver, 95 to the Patriots.
• 1:07:11
  And then the center, Jake Slaughter, I do believe, from Florida to the c box at 96.
• 1:07:18
  It's like, what has he been going on?
• 1:07:20
  That that's that's the one I was kinda hoping because I would've you know, I I was hoping
• 1:07:26
  Slaughter would've been there.
• 1:07:28
  He's the first overall center, 65303.
• 1:07:34
  Yeah.
• 1:07:34
  I would have taken him.
• 1:07:36
  Go ahead and profile Sam Hecht.
• 1:07:38
  So Sam Hecht from Kansas State is the next available center.
• 1:07:42
  He's his rank was 81 on the big board.
• 1:07:45
  Yep.
• 1:07:46
  You also have Zaki Wheatley and other safety, which I think feel like we've kinda filled that
• 1:07:51
  in.
• 1:07:51
  Right?
• 1:07:51
  You've drafted the two safeties now at that position.
• 1:07:54
  Yeah.
• 1:07:56
  Set Heck.
• 1:07:58
  Sam Heck, Kansas State, 643303 from Kansas State, second as a center, eightieth overall.
• 1:08:07
  So, I mean, I wouldn't be upset with that one at center.
• 1:08:12
  I know we, you know, focused on defense, but, you know, I I still think we need to focus on
• 1:08:18
  that offensive line though.
• 1:08:21
  I'm just looking at his bio here quick, see what so let's see.
• 1:08:28
  Heck plays light on his feet, displays good foot quickness on film.
• 1:08:34
  He also plays with good balance and coarse strength.
• 1:08:37
  Heck is an average mover power, but could could anchor, mirror, and hold his weight
• 1:08:45
  substantially in his blocks well.
• 1:08:48
  He is skilled enough to pull and get out on the edge.
• 1:08:52
  Heck, does a good job of climbing to the second level and latching on to the defenders.
• 1:09:00
  Overall, he's a solid player who who could get the job done.
• 1:09:05
  Number two center?
• 1:09:07
  Number two center, and we're picking at what?
• 1:09:10
  90 something right now?
• 1:09:11
  97.
• 1:09:12
  Yeah.
• 1:09:13
  And he's ranked 89.
• 1:09:14
  I I see the greatest
• 1:09:15
  value here, I I think, off the big board.
• 1:09:19
  Missed out on Jake Slaughter, and we can definitely address that on next week's Mach two
• 1:09:23
  point o if we wanna move up and maybe, you know, having some capital to do so.
• 1:09:29
  It's been a little because I've been running this in the fast lane.
• 1:09:33
  Right?
• 1:09:33
  All the picks are coming fast.
• 1:09:35
  Bryce Lance.
• 1:09:36
  Running it out.
• 1:09:37
  We'll do that next week.
• 1:09:38
  We got on a little late this week.
• 1:09:39
  It was all kind of a mess.
• 1:09:40
  But next week, we can do a full with it round out and going bit by bit to kinda do that to to
• 1:09:47
  talk about the trade offs.
• 1:09:48
  That's what makes it easy to trade back at this at this speed.
• 1:09:53
  But, yeah, the trading up is nonexistent because they're just coming off the board at
• 1:09:56
  lightning speed.
• 1:09:57
  So Mhmm.
• 1:09:57
  Sam hacked the center.
• 1:09:59
  I I think that's kind of a no brainer where we're at and looking at available players, an
• 1:10:04
  easy one here.
• 1:10:05
  So we're gonna take a center, Sam Hecht, at pick number 97.
• 1:10:09
  Saving the way for our running back.
• 1:10:11
  Exactly.
• 1:10:12
  That's right.
• 1:10:13
  That's right.
• 1:10:14
  How you guys feel about the draft so far?
• 1:10:17
  I mean, we got two safeties, a running back, and a center.
• 1:10:20
  I mean, I'm feeling pretty damn good about it right now.
• 1:10:23
  Is Evan still on the board?
• 1:10:25
  Who?
• 1:10:26
  Who's that?
• 1:10:27
  The running back, Emmett Johnson from Nebraska.
• 1:10:30
  I would have to cruise back and just do a quick thing.
• 1:10:32
  Let me get the banker real quick for
• 1:10:34
  this I just kinda curious if he's still on the board.
• 1:10:37
  I'm not gonna lie, though.
• 1:10:39
  If we get if we could get Bryce Lance, I'm taking him.
• 1:10:43
  I'm taking him, and then, it's George Anderson.
• 1:10:49
  Bryce Lance.
• 1:10:53
  He's already taken, but
• 1:10:55
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:10:55
  North Dakota State.
• 1:10:57
  Yeah.
• 1:10:57
  Yep.
• 1:10:58
  63204.
• 1:11:01
  Number nineteenth on the wide receivers, ninety fifth overall.
• 1:11:05
  Yeah.
• 1:11:05
  That would have been that would have been something nice there.
• 1:11:08
  And I'm with the coach CU Addison.
• 1:11:12
  You know, 51 catches, a 79 yards, eight touchdowns.
• 1:11:18
  Last year, the year before, 75 catches, a 150 or 1,053 yards, 17 touchdowns.
• 1:11:25
  So yeah.
• 1:11:27
  Where was where's Emmett Johnson on the on the big board?
• 1:11:31
  Just so I can kinda gauge where he might land.
• 1:11:35
  Emmett Johnson.
• 1:11:36
  I think he was
• 1:11:37
  running backs taken so far, I would say.
• 1:11:41
  And So right now, he's, fifth overall, the running backs, so one twenty five.
• 1:11:46
  So he's probably next round.
• 1:11:47
  He's probably available right now at one fourteen.
• 1:11:50
  Now the our our position now is this is the one fourteen.
• 1:11:55
  So this is the pick that we picked up from the trade.
• 1:11:59
  This is the the extra pick with Jadarian Price are are running back now.
• 1:12:04
  So looking now but now we don't select until one sixty three.
• 1:12:08
  So after this pick, there's a big gap between our next pick.
• 1:12:13
  So this one's one of the most important picks, I would say, in this draft because 50 well, 49
• 1:12:21
  players are gonna go off the board essentially before.
• 1:12:24
  So
• 1:12:26
  Alright.
• 1:12:27
  Who do we got next best available?
• 1:12:30
  Alright.
• 1:12:31
  So best available right now off the big board, offensive tackle, Demetrius crown over, I'm
• 1:12:39
  assuming that says.
• 1:12:40
  Justin Jolley, tight end from NC State.
• 1:12:43
  Albert Regis, a defensive tackle from A and M.
• 1:12:46
  That's catching my eye already.
• 1:12:48
  Logan Jones, a center from Iowa.
• 1:12:50
  We just got our center.
• 1:12:52
  Jack Endres, a tight end from Texas.
• 1:12:56
  Michael Trigg, tight end from Baylor.
• 1:12:59
  Deontay Lawson, linebacker from Alabama, and then Will Lee, the third, a cornerback from
• 1:13:07
  Texas A and M at one zero nine.
• 1:13:09
  And I'm just gonna scroll down and see where Emmett Johnson is.
• 1:13:13
  See.
• 1:13:13
  Well, then
• 1:13:14
  Emmett Johnson, one twenty eight on the big board.
• 1:13:18
  And so he's quite a ways down the way, probably gonna go off the board before we get So
• 1:13:24
  So where are other
• 1:13:25
  leg, but I feel like at this would be a little bit of a reach right now with all other guys
• 1:13:31
  that are that are on the board yet.
• 1:13:33
  And we got a running back in this draft
• 1:13:34
  too.
• 1:13:35
  So
• 1:13:35
  And and then, you know, I've heard, you know, multiple people talking about the running back
• 1:13:41
  depth in this draft, and it's Jeremiah Love and then a huge drop off and then another dude and
• 1:13:48
  then another huge drop off.
• 1:13:49
  So
• 1:13:51
  So And and we got we got one of those guys that were in the top.
• 1:13:56
  Right?
• 1:13:56
  Yep.
• 1:13:56
  Yep.
• 1:13:57
  The way this draft is played out through the first 113 picks, Mike Washington, I think, was
• 1:14:03
  the only other running back taken besides the two from Notre Dame.
• 1:14:07
  So so we got Demaryius or Demetrius Crownover from Texas A and M.
• 1:14:14
  Yeah.
• 1:14:14
  Yep.
• 1:14:14
  Seven, three nineteen.
• 1:14:18
  He's the tenth ranked offensive tackle, eighty sixth overall.
• 1:14:24
  So, I mean, that's definitely big value right there at one fourteen.
• 1:14:29
  Who's another guy we talked about?
• 1:14:31
  The other one that caught my eye was Albert Regis.
• 1:14:34
  Defensive tackle.
• 1:14:34
  Tackle from A and M.
• 1:14:36
  Okay.
• 1:14:39
  How much Regis?
• 1:14:40
  Yeah.
• 1:14:40
  To me, looking at what's available and the team needs right now, I mean, I don't know.
• 1:14:46
  I've taken a a tight end at one zero two, one zero five.
• 1:14:51
  So Regis, six one two ninety five, fourteenth ranked at the defense tackle, one thirty fourth
• 1:15:01
  overall.
• 1:15:03
  What give me a little bit of profile on him.
• 1:15:05
  I wanna know what kind of guy, run stopper or somebody that can get to the quarterback,
• 1:15:10
  quarterback in series.
• 1:15:11
  Well, let's let's see here.
• 1:15:12
  So his stats might have a little bit of injuries here.
• 1:15:17
  18 solo tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble.
• 1:15:23
  Yeah.
• 1:15:23
  Not not much of a sack guy.
• 1:15:25
  He's only got three and a half sacks in his career.
• 1:15:29
  But his profile, Regis' low center of gravity allows him to anchor and hold point of attack,
• 1:15:36
  but the short stature can hurt him.
• 1:15:41
  I guess long blockers who will get into the framework of his body control and Regis is at
• 1:15:49
  his best when he can shoot with the shoot his hands quickly and make a play on the ball.
• 1:15:57
  Though he he can create some disruption in the backfield, He does most of his damage after
• 1:16:04
  shredding blocks, allowing the line at around the line of scrimmage.
• 1:16:10
  So
• 1:16:11
  See, you said he was six six one, two ninety.
• 1:16:17
  Two ninety.
• 1:16:19
  Little undersized for that NFL.
• 1:16:21
  Yeah.
• 1:16:22
  On, definitely undersized.
• 1:16:24
  And, that offensive lineman that you just mentioned, six seven three something, like,
• 1:16:29
  with the wingspan, that guy's gonna get worked.
• 1:16:32
  I'd rather take that offensive lineman and bolster up our offense.
• 1:16:35
  So let's get to that offensive lineman.
• 1:16:39
  So Crown has has good bent and bent and flexibility for a player with his height.
• 1:16:47
  Though he can get caught playing high at times, he can have late hands and poor hands placement
• 1:16:55
  allowing defenders to get into his chest and put him on skates.
• 1:17:00
  He needs to develop strong a stronger punch cross link work to his advantage as he can be
• 1:17:08
  difficult for rushers to get around and he is a bill able to war wash defense defenders pass
• 1:17:20
  the the quarterback in the pocket.
• 1:17:22
  So so, yeah, that length is what I'm looking at, like, you know, folks said.
• 1:17:28
  Well and you're gonna need a guy that that can play that right tackle position in the next two
• 1:17:34
  years.
• 1:17:34
  Probably doesn't start this year, and you have a swing tackle.
• 1:17:38
  But this is the I mean, we're getting into developmental range now.
• 1:17:40
  Yep.
• 1:17:41
  Yep.
• 1:17:41
  Yep.
• 1:17:42
  Guys and you're kinda drafting traits, I have
• 1:17:44
  to Yeah.
• 1:17:45
  They're even saying that he's got a new development.
• 1:17:48
  That I think that's playing on an undersized defensive tackle right now.
• 1:17:52
  And those to me are the the two fits there.
• 1:17:55
  So we're gonna go ahead.
• 1:17:56
  We're not gonna waste a lot of time on this.
• 1:17:58
  Demetrius Crown over, offensive tackle from Texas A and M.
• 1:18:02
  We'll go ahead and make that pick.
• 1:18:05
  You know, because that you like you said, at this point, you know, you're looking for depth.
• 1:18:10
  You know, not starters, like, fringe starters, but, like, you're looking for depth.
• 1:18:16
  I I I happen to pause the draft just briefly.
• 1:18:19
  So the forty niners have two back to back picks at one thirty eight and one thirty nine here at
• 1:18:26
  the back end of round four.
• 1:18:29
  And and I'm glad that it landed at this because I think this is a team that would be willing to
• 1:18:33
  let one of those go.
• 1:18:35
  So maybe an interesting experiment here of seeing what it would take to maybe creep
• 1:18:40
  ourselves back into this back end of the fourth round.
• 1:18:43
  Let me get some things going here.
• 1:18:45
  B, I'm gonna just quickly recount the players that we've already picked.
• 1:18:50
  Yes.
• 1:18:51
  So we got the two safeties, Dylan Teeneman, Jadarion Price at 54, the running back, Jalen
• 1:18:58
  Kilgore, safety, Sam Head, center, and Demetrius Crown over offensive tackle.
• 1:19:05
  Just kinda give us a rundown of needs, I guess, real quick.
• 1:19:09
  I'm gonna pull myself off of the screen.
• 1:19:11
  I got some production stuff I'm gonna do real quick and then start preparing for possibly
• 1:19:16
  trading back up now from one sixty something to one thirty eight or one thirty nine.
• 1:19:22
  Alright.
• 1:19:22
  So safety is covered, center is covered.
• 1:19:28
  They're still saying we need a wide receiver, offensive guard, and linebacker.
• 1:19:34
  So we're sitting with the fifth pick at fifth, sixth, and three seventh.
• 1:19:42
  So if we could maybe take that fifth and maybe a seventh to move back into where Bubba wants,
• 1:19:51
  I think that would be a great move, I think, to get in there.
• 1:19:55
  What do you think, Cody?
• 1:19:57
  Mean, so we basically just need another offensive lineman, a wide receiver, and what
• 1:20:05
  was the other?
• 1:20:06
  Linebacker.
• 1:20:06
  A linebacker?
• 1:20:08
  Yeah.
• 1:20:09
  Yeah.
• 1:20:09
  I mean, you we have the capital this year.
• 1:20:12
  We might as
• 1:20:12
  well No.
• 1:20:13
  I would I mean, I would mean, I would call the niners and be like, hey.
• 1:20:17
  I'll give you our six this year, one of our two or one of our three sevens for that fourth
• 1:20:23
  round pick, I think, Bubba said we're in.
• 1:20:25
  If push them to shove, then I go fifth and a seventh.
• 1:20:29
  Yeah.
• 1:20:29
  So so, Bubba, if we could do one of those picks Let's
• 1:20:33
  yeah.
• 1:20:34
  Let let's just kinda run through everything right now.
• 1:20:37
  You can hear me okay.
• 1:20:38
  Right?
• 1:20:39
  Yep.
• 1:20:39
  Yep.
• 1:20:40
  Okay.
• 1:20:40
  So best players available with it paused at 01:38.
• 1:20:45
  Is he gonna let us make moves right now, or would you be paused?
• 1:20:48
  I think it yeah.
• 1:20:50
  It it it has make trade on there.
• 1:20:51
  So let me pull Cody off while he's kinda doing his thing.
• 1:20:54
  So top players available right now, Taelyn Green, quarterback, ranked one sixteen.
• 1:21:00
  Don't necessarily need it, but, you know, Arkansas quarterback out there.
• 1:21:03
  Inez Cooper, offensive guard from Miami.
• 1:21:07
  Drew Shelton, the offensive tackle from Penn State.
• 1:21:10
  Damonte Capehart, a defensive tackle from Clemson.
• 1:21:14
  That would be one that would catch my eye.
• 1:21:16
  Emmett Johnson, the running back from Nebraska, still in there
• 1:21:21
  Oh.
• 1:21:21
  As
• 1:21:21
  well at this point.
• 1:21:23
  Safety Jaden Canaday from Oregon.
• 1:21:26
  Chandler Rivers, cornerback from Duke.
• 1:21:29
  George Gums junior, edge rusher from Florida.
• 1:21:34
  Damond Claiborne running back from Wake Forest.
• 1:21:39
  Jamari Taylor running back from Virginia.
• 1:21:44
  Kevin Coleman, a wide receiver from Missouri.
• 1:21:47
  Kevin Coleman junior.
• 1:21:49
  Jeremiah Wright, offensive guard from Auburn.
• 1:21:52
  Charles Demings, cornerback, and Jacoby Thomas, a safety from Miami.
• 1:21:57
  So, I mean, those are kinda like the top 10 or 12 ish best players still available.
• 1:22:03
  Did you see any linebackers in there?
• 1:22:05
  No.
• 1:22:06
  Not a not a single linebacker, and you have to go quite a bit.
• 1:22:09
  The next available linebacker would be Caleb Elarms Orr from TCU.
• 1:22:17
  He's one fifty on the big board.
• 1:22:20
  Bryce Bacher, linebacker from Oregon at one fifty two.
• 1:22:24
  You're starting to get back into that range where
• 1:22:27
  So I'm I'm thinking I'm thinking we go, you know, since it's not a linebacker, I mean, you
• 1:22:33
  know, maybe we maybe we get One a sixty
• 1:22:37
  three one sixty three is the next pick that we own right now.
• 1:22:42
  Yeah.
• 1:22:42
  That'll be the fifth pick.
• 1:22:44
  196, 234, 235, and 244.
• 1:22:50
  So let's just as a little thought experiment here, let's see what we can do to trade up to
• 1:22:55
  $1.38 and and what it's gonna take.
• 1:22:57
  To get I I would say do our six and one of the sevens to see what that gets them.
• 1:23:06
  Yeah.
• 1:23:06
  They're not gonna take that.
• 1:23:08
  Okay.
• 1:23:08
  We would have to go, well, $1.96.
• 1:23:12
  The fifth round?
• 1:23:13
  Yeah.
• 1:23:13
  No.
• 1:23:13
  They're not taking that either.
• 1:23:15
  So it would have to be $1.63.
• 1:23:20
  No.
• 1:23:21
  It won't really take that either.
• 1:23:22
  I don't think that we're gonna have this without throwing in capital from next year.
• 1:23:26
  So the only thing to get up to $1.38, we would have to let go of $1.63 and $1.96.
• 1:23:32
  So that would be our fifth and that sixth rounder
• 1:23:36
  to get to one
• 1:23:37
  thirty eight.
• 1:23:37
  I could I You're not moving up nearly 30 spots we are right now.
• 1:23:42
  So almost an entire round you're moving up.
• 1:23:45
  Let's see if there's any way we can bait.
• 1:23:47
  I mean, yeah, they're not gonna accept trying to get them all of those back half trends.
• 1:23:52
  They're
• 1:23:52
  not doing, but I wonder about maybe I don't see.
• 1:23:56
  I don't know about a seventh next year.
• 1:23:58
  Sweetening that pot would do anything for them.
• 1:24:01
  Yeah.
• 1:24:01
  They're they're not gonna go.
• 1:24:02
  They're not budging.
• 1:24:04
  So
• 1:24:04
  Nope.
• 1:24:05
  Not off of that.
• 1:24:06
  And I'm not willing to let go of in next year's draft to give up even a fourth or fifth rounder
• 1:24:12
  because he's still gonna need to get, like our process of getting younger and more talent is
• 1:24:17
  not a one draft deal.
• 1:24:19
  No.
• 1:24:20
  We had Right.
• 1:24:21
  Two year plan
• 1:24:22
  No.
• 1:24:22
  But I I think we just we just let it roll then.
• 1:24:24
  I mean, if firm doesn't wanna move on, I mean, just, you know
• 1:24:28
  Well, then let's see if they'll do one thirty nine.
• 1:24:31
  Let let's see if anything there for us in that.
• 1:24:39
  Still still nothing.
• 1:24:41
  Yeah.
• 1:24:42
  Just just not there without letting go of that other one.
• 1:24:46
  So I I think moving up for us is just not in the cards here back into the fourth round.
• 1:24:52
  But I'm
• 1:24:53
  gonna go ahead.
• 1:24:53
  I'm gonna run it real quick and then pause it again in the fifth because we don't select
• 1:24:58
  until the middle of that fifth round.
• 1:25:03
  Let's go ahead.
• 1:25:04
  Let's roll it.
• 1:25:04
  I'm gonna roll it forward maybe to who's got some picks in this round that might be willing
• 1:25:11
  to let some stuff go here.
• 1:25:12
  You know what?
• 1:25:13
  We had a good relation.
• 1:25:14
  Didn't we trade with the Eagles earlier to get that pick?
• 1:25:17
  It's was a Yeah.
• 1:25:19
  Think it was
• 1:25:19
  a so we got a good relationship with them over there.
• 1:25:23
  So we'll see if we can
• 1:25:24
  The Eagles like to wheel and deal too.
• 1:25:27
  Yeah.
• 1:25:27
  Right.
• 1:25:28
  So I paused it now at pick one fifty two.
• 1:25:30
  Cowboys are on the clock.
• 1:25:32
  Emmett Johnson went just a few picks before that.
• 1:25:36
  None of the linemen.
• 1:25:37
  So we have the linebacker.
• 1:25:38
  Who did he go with?
• 1:25:39
  Who did he go to?
• 1:25:41
  He ended up going to the Browns.
• 1:25:43
  So sorry for the young man from Nebraska.
• 1:25:46
  Sorry, man.
• 1:25:47
  Yeah.
• 1:25:47
  That might that might be that might be a good move for them if they I mean, if they get
• 1:25:50
  there.
• 1:25:51
  I'm sorry, homie.
• 1:25:55
  Emmett Johnson wishes he would have gone undrafted at this point.
• 1:25:59
  Just kidding.
• 1:26:00
  So January, the Cowboys are on the clock, and we're gonna see if we can make a run with our
• 1:26:06
  friends over in Philly and see if we can get them to wheel and deal with us here.
• 1:26:12
  So Philadelphia Eagles, we want pick January.
• 1:26:17
  We are willing to give up.
• 1:26:19
  What are we willing to give up?
• 1:26:21
  That's the question.
• 1:26:21
  Are we willing to give up January and some to get to January?
• 1:26:28
  So
• 1:26:28
  January and No.
• 1:26:31
  Seventh.
• 1:26:32
  Yeah.
• 1:26:33
  They're they're not taking that.
• 1:26:36
  Put in a sixth.
• 1:26:38
  One two six and maybe next year's seventh?
• 1:26:40
  Nah.
• 1:26:41
  It it's not happening.
• 1:26:42
  No.
• 1:26:42
  Let's see if we can
• 1:26:43
  get it for our pick and the seventh.
• 1:26:46
  So okay.
• 1:26:47
  So for 163 and 234, we can get to 153.
• 1:26:55
  And we still do that.
• 1:26:57
  That that's trading that's trading our fifth rounder at $1.63 with the two hundred and
• 1:27:05
  thirty fourth pick in I'm assuming that's round
• 1:27:09
  Six.
• 1:27:10
  6?
• 1:27:10
  7?
• 1:27:11
  That's one of our sixth, I wanna say.
• 1:27:14
  That's seven or seventh.
• 1:27:16
  That's seventh round?
• 1:27:18
  Yeah.
• 1:27:19
  22 hundreds are in the seventh.
• 1:27:21
  Okay.
• 1:27:22
  What what picked?
• 1:27:24
  So let's look at big board real quick.
• 1:27:27
  Because we got picked we got picked 234 and 235.
• 1:27:31
  Right.
• 1:27:32
  So it was one sixty three hours, our fifth rounder, and our seventh round or our sixth
• 1:27:39
  what'd I say?
• 1:27:40
  No.
• 1:27:40
  Seventh.
• 1:27:41
  234.
• 1:27:43
  Is it four?
• 1:27:43
  Okay.
• 1:27:43
  Fifth and the seventh the first of the seventh rounders to move up 10 spots in the fifth
• 1:27:51
  round.
• 1:27:52
  And who's available?
• 1:27:53
  Let's check the big board real quick.
• 1:27:55
  So still available.
• 1:27:57
  Inez Cooper is the best player yet available, offensive guard.
• 1:28:01
  Jaden Canaday, a safety.
• 1:28:03
  We have a couple other running backs.
• 1:28:06
  Another offensive guard from Auburn, Jeremiah Wright, still available.
• 1:28:13
  Cornerback Charles Demings, safety Jacoby Thomas, which is still getting a lot of value,
• 1:28:20
  I feel, with these guys too.
• 1:28:22
  Defensive tackle Zane Durant, still on the board now and a linebacker that Caleb Elarms or
• 1:28:30
  linebacker from TCU.
• 1:28:32
  So the three players, I guess, I'm most interested in here would be the just to get a
• 1:28:38
  profile on Inez Cooper.
• 1:28:40
  B, if you can pull him up a little bit.
• 1:28:42
  He's an offensive guard from Miami.
• 1:28:45
  Mhmm.
• 1:28:45
  That's a guard Miami.
• 1:28:46
  Okay.
• 1:28:49
  Cooper.
• 1:28:49
  Cooper.
• 1:28:56
  I don't see him.
• 1:28:57
  Offensive guard.
• 1:29:00
  Yeah.
• 1:29:00
  And we're, like, off the big boards at this point.
• 1:29:03
  No.
• 1:29:03
  There's no hell, man.
• 1:29:05
  Yeah.
• 1:29:06
  Well, I mean, he's there, but you're you're out of the top 100.
• 1:29:10
  You're you're starting to reach you know, like we said before, you're definitely looking at
• 1:29:14
  traits and and development in these guys.
• 1:29:17
  You you're looking for big bodies on the offensive line that you could hopefully coach
• 1:29:23
  up into being.
• 1:29:24
  I mean, these guys are are probably not gonna be starters in the league, but they will be
• 1:29:28
  your second string, you know, or swing guards at this point, I would say.
• 1:29:33
  You're drafting a guy in the fifth round.
• 1:29:35
  You're looking at the potential of, you know, coaching someone up into being a potential long
• 1:29:42
  time second stringer.
• 1:29:43
  Right?
• 1:29:43
  Or even a Jason Kelce.
• 1:29:46
  Yeah.
• 1:29:46
  I don't see Cooper on the board at all.
• 1:29:50
  What's Okay.
• 1:29:51
  And then Jeremiah Wright, offensive guard from Auburn?
• 1:29:54
  Yep.
• 1:29:55
  Yep.
• 1:29:55
  That was the guy too.
• 1:29:56
  And then are you thinking the linebacker?
• 1:29:58
  Yeah.
• 1:29:59
  The linebacker would be the other one that I'm interested in seeing more from and possibly
• 1:30:03
  Bryce Bacher.
• 1:30:03
  So if you're moving up here, it's probably to take one of the, linebackers still on the board
• 1:30:09
  in Elarms or or Bacher, from Oregon, because I don't think either one of those guys would be
• 1:30:17
  available at your one sixty three.
• 1:30:20
  So this is definitely a move to get up to draft a player that you're just not confident is
• 1:30:26
  going to be there for you if you wait it out.
• 1:30:30
  Right.
• 1:30:30
  You're willing to give up that one sixty three and a seventh rounder that, you know, so what
• 1:30:36
  what are you giving up?
• 1:30:36
  You got two thirty four and two thirty five.
• 1:30:39
  So Right.
• 1:30:39
  Yeah.
• 1:30:39
  Let's let's go ahead and make the trade.
• 1:30:42
  Let's make the trade, and then I would actually I'd go one of the linebackers.
• 1:30:49
  At this point linebacker.
• 1:30:52
  So let's make that trade with Philly for $1.53.
• 1:30:56
  We're gonna give them $1.63 and two thirty four.
• 1:31:00
  So oh, I still got this on the board.
• 1:31:01
  Because that fills a need right then and there.
• 1:31:03
  This is the
• 1:31:05
  Which linebacker?
• 1:31:06
  Big b, do you have the profiles on either of those two?
• 1:31:10
  Who where where are the two?
• 1:31:16
  Something from Oregon.
• 1:31:17
  TCU in Oregon.
• 1:31:19
  Bacher was the guy from Oregon.
• 1:31:21
  And with and with Tinaman, we
• 1:31:23
  might even just take Bacher.
• 1:31:26
  Guy that he's familiar with.
• 1:31:28
  Right?
• 1:31:28
  Okay.
• 1:31:29
  So Vacher was twelfth.
• 1:31:32
  He's six one two thirty three, twelfth ranked linebacker, a hundred and fifty first.
• 1:31:40
  Few stats on him last year, 56 total tackles, one sack, two fourth fumbles, a pick.
• 1:31:47
  Overall, you know, you know, got about four sacks in his career, four four fumbles, couple
• 1:31:56
  picks there.
• 1:31:59
  Who's the other linebacker?
• 1:32:00
  TCU?
• 1:32:02
  Yeah.
• 1:32:02
  Orr?
• 1:32:04
  Yes.
• 1:32:05
  Okay.
• 1:32:06
  Orr was eleventh, one forty nine, six six two, three three thirty four, 60 solo tackles, four
• 1:32:16
  sacks.
• 1:32:19
  Over his career, he's got seven sacks, had a 130 total tackles, 60 solos, 70 assisted.
• 1:32:32
  So yeah.
• 1:32:32
  So
• 1:32:33
  Wait a minute.
• 1:32:33
  You said this guy's the linebacker, 61334?
• 1:32:37
  62335.
• 1:32:39
  I'm sorry.
• 1:32:40
  335 linebacker?
• 1:32:42
  2235.
• 1:32:43
  Oh, I'm sorry.
• 1:32:44
  Okay.
• 1:32:44
  Okay.
• 1:32:45
  I was gonna say put him on the line.
• 1:32:47
  235.
• 1:32:48
  Yes.
• 1:32:49
  235.
• 1:32:49
  Alright.
• 1:32:50
  No.
• 1:32:50
  I I like I like that guy.
• 1:32:53
  But with Tinerman, they might just take you know what?
• 1:32:57
  Forget it.
• 1:32:58
  I'm take I'd take Orr.
• 1:33:00
  What about you?
• 1:33:00
  Orr received a first team big 10 honors in 2005 making a hit, which marked his second year with
• 1:33:09
  that Horned Frogs after starting his career in Cal.
• 1:33:15
  He brings some experience, like, lining up on and off the ball.
• 1:33:20
  He's in his very good speed, quickness, and range going sideline to sideline, or his
• 1:33:26
  closing speed is swallowed up by blocking wait.
• 1:33:32
  No.
• 1:33:32
  I'm sorry.
• 1:33:32
  Closing speed, one of his better attributes.
• 1:33:37
  Especially when he's accelerated downhill, he can he can swallow up.
• 1:33:42
  He can get swallowed up by blocking at times, but he knows how to disengage and locate the
• 1:33:49
  ball carrier so yeah.
• 1:33:51
  No.
• 1:33:51
  I I like him.
• 1:33:53
  Yeah.
• 1:33:53
  I like him a lot.
• 1:33:54
  Welcome to the Minnesota Vikings, sir.
• 1:33:58
  So that was the linebacker from TCU.
• 1:34:02
  Correct?
• 1:34:02
  Caleb Earl of four?
• 1:34:03
  Yep.
• 1:34:04
  Yep.
• 1:34:05
  Awesome.
• 1:34:06
  Yeah.
• 1:34:07
  And I think you're you're getting him where where he's kind of valued at on the big board.
• 1:34:11
  I think there's some other people on here that just don't really fit our needs right now.
• 1:34:15
  Well, we've picked up and filled a lot of the other needs.
• 1:34:18
  So I'm in agreement.
• 1:34:19
  I like that profile of the guy.
• 1:34:22
  Somebody that's gonna be able to once again, we're we're we're not searching for, you know,
• 1:34:27
  starters at this point.
• 1:34:29
  You're in the fifth round, but this is somebody that definitely feels like you contribute on
• 1:34:32
  special teams right away and that you could develop into this, you know, that that cashman
• 1:34:38
  role over the next two or three seasons and have your heir apparent to that linebacker
• 1:34:44
  position.
• 1:34:44
  So I like that a lot.
• 1:34:46
  Well, the trade was consummated.
• 1:34:48
  The Vikings trade pick 163 and pick 234.
• 1:34:52
  To the Eagles, we'll pick 153.
• 1:34:56
  Eagles have been great trade partners for us in this one.
• 1:34:59
  So I I think they're gonna be happy with what they get as well.
• 1:35:02
  They're obviously trying to stack up some extra picks now after we fleece them for Jadarian
• 1:35:06
  Price earlier.
• 1:35:09
  Gale of Earlham or Horned Frog staying in purple.
• 1:35:14
  I like it.
• 1:35:15
  Welcome
• 1:35:16
  to the Vikings, sir.
• 1:35:19
  No.
• 1:35:20
  And after this, we should type the type, like, a overview of how the picks went so that when
• 1:35:29
  the draft comes, we can see how right we were.
• 1:35:32
  Yeah.
• 1:35:33
  Yeah.
• 1:35:34
  I'm definitely gonna snap a pic of that.
• 1:35:35
  So with one fifty three, the Vikings select.
• 1:35:39
  What do we gotta say?
• 1:35:41
  Clip it and it just clips?
• 1:35:44
  Yeah.
• 1:35:46
  Apparently, that's what it says.
• 1:35:48
  I never used that feature.
• 1:35:49
  But
• 1:35:51
  So now we're moving into a six pound?
• 1:35:55
  Yes, sir.
• 1:35:57
  We'll take one fifty three Vikings select Caleb Earlhams or I mean, I'm feeling pretty damn.
• 1:36:02
  We are filling the
• 1:36:03
  I can't wait to see what the grade is.
• 1:36:04
  Yeah.
• 1:36:06
  Yeah.
• 1:36:06
  We got Let's see what the grade is.
• 1:36:10
  I can't wait.
• 1:36:12
  Moving into the sixth round.
• 1:36:15
  I can't wait till next season when we have somebody to do all this production stuff for
• 1:36:19
  me.
• 1:36:24
  It's all good.
• 1:36:25
  Alright.
• 1:36:25
  Pick one ninety six is on the clock.
• 1:36:28
  I wasn't able to pause it before anything, but I don't think there was gonna be much to really
• 1:36:31
  do, in between there at all.
• 1:36:35
  I think we've kinda done our work, and we're pretty much sticking where we're at right now
• 1:36:39
  and finishing off these last three picks.
• 1:36:41
  196, 235, and 244.
• 1:36:45
  That's where we're sitting, and it is our pick.
• 1:36:49
  So any notables on here that went off?
• 1:36:51
  I'm not really I we don't know any of these people at this point.
• 1:36:54
  You are at the bottom of the draft.
• 1:36:57
  You're at the bottom.
• 1:36:58
  We're pretty happy with everybody we got.
• 1:37:00
  So best available right now, running back Adam Randall out of Clemson.
• 1:37:05
  His big board rank was one thirty seven.
• 1:37:07
  We're all the way down at pick one ninety six.
• 1:37:12
  Tight end from USC, Lake McCree.
• 1:37:15
  Mick McCree, I guess, is how you would say that.
• 1:37:19
  Wide receiver Malik Benson out of Oregon.
• 1:37:23
  Riley Nowakowski, tight end out of Indiana.
• 1:37:26
  Marlon Klein, tight end out of Michigan.
• 1:37:29
  Colby Young, wide receiver out of Georgia.
• 1:37:33
  Matthew Hebner from Southern Miss, SMU, a tight end there as well.
• 1:37:40
  And Justin Jefferson, Alabama linebacker.
• 1:37:43
  Do we want can this team handle another JJ?
• 1:37:48
  Well, I mean, this is the point of the draft where Minnesota took a Minnesota play.
• 1:37:53
  And the trade.
• 1:37:55
  Who was the receiver you said that was out there, Bubba?
• 1:37:59
  Malik Benson out of Oregon was one of them, and Colby Young out of Georgia.
• 1:38:05
  Colby Young.
• 1:38:05
  Wide receivers that are Colby Young, six five two eighteen out of Georgia.
• 1:38:11
  Twenty twenty fifth position ranked one seventy seven for Georgia last year.
• 1:38:18
  You know, 26 receptions, 358 yards, one touchdown.
• 1:38:24
  Over his career, he's gotten 13 touchdowns, five in his first each of his first two years.
• 1:38:31
  So, you know, definitely a guy that I kinda would think about sitting there at six five.
• 1:38:39
  But the
• 1:38:39
  Got got some height to him probably at at six five two eighteen, a little bit thinner than I
• 1:38:47
  than I think you like, but you can put some weight on these guys
• 1:38:50
  and get them into an NFL Yeah.
• 1:38:52
  Weight room.
• 1:38:54
  Justin Jefferson, the linebacker.
• 1:38:57
  Oh, so just Jefferson, the linebacker's
• 1:39:01
  No.
• 1:39:01
  The other wide receiver.
• 1:39:02
  Oh, the other wide receiver?
• 1:39:04
  Okay.
• 1:39:05
  Malik Benson, the the wide receiver.
• 1:39:07
  Oh, he was small.
• 1:39:10
  Benson, six six even, one eighty nine.
• 1:39:16
  Had 43 catches last year, 719 yards with six touchdowns.
• 1:39:21
  That was his best year, his his senior year.
• 1:39:26
  The first two years he played, just had a cup touchdown each year, 313 yards a year before.
• 1:39:35
  So, you know, could be a slot guy, you know, maybe a number four.
• 1:39:42
  So but the
• 1:39:44
  return in there at all?
• 1:39:45
  Yeah.
• 1:39:46
  But
• 1:39:48
  I like that I like that wide receiver already, that six five.
• 1:39:53
  It's just a
• 1:39:54
  big body.
• 1:39:54
  You can mold them into some
• 1:39:56
  Draft him for traits.
• 1:39:57
  He he brings something that you don't have on this team.
• 1:40:01
  Right?
• 1:40:01
  It it gives you a, more of a a Justin Jefferson look, a tall, long obviously, not the caliber
• 1:40:09
  of player that Justin Jefferson is, but somebody that can play those outside, those go
• 1:40:15
  up and get them balls that you just don't really have on this team as it sits currently.
• 1:40:20
  Definitely, he's got my attention.
• 1:40:22
  Any interest
• 1:40:23
  in outside wide receiver.
• 1:40:25
  Developmental.
• 1:40:27
  Right.
• 1:40:27
  Well, I'm probably not seeing the field in his first year or two probably.
• 1:40:32
  Justin Justin is a linebacker, just in case you guys are intrigued.
• 1:40:36
  Six foot two twenty three.
• 1:40:40
  So six foot two twenty three, forty eight solo tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble, and a
• 1:40:47
  pick.
• 1:40:49
  So It's got something from the linebacker.
• 1:40:52
  Yeah.
• 1:40:55
  Mean, I I I kinda with you guys.
• 1:40:56
  I like this.
• 1:40:57
  I like the height, the receiver, you know, especially if you get in the red zone, he, you
• 1:41:01
  know, he might be able to help out, you know.
• 1:41:04
  And then who knows?
• 1:41:06
  Him paired up with Jefferson might help him, you know, better than Jefferson Anderson.
• 1:41:12
  You know?
• 1:41:14
  So Yeah.
• 1:41:14
  And we need a wide receiver.
• 1:41:17
  You're you're not looking at him to really touch the field this year.
• 1:41:22
  You don't need him to produce for you.
• 1:41:24
  You're talking about a guy that maybe doesn't see the field, on your wide receiver depth
• 1:41:29
  chart for two or three years, but he brings something to your team that you don't have.
• 1:41:34
  And and I think that you you're looking at him at that six foot five frame, and you're going,
• 1:41:41
  can I put 20 pounds on you of muscle?
• 1:41:43
  Right?
• 1:41:43
  Like, I
• 1:41:44
  get you stronger, and the game's so much different now than it was ten years ago where,
• 1:41:50
  you know, guys that had a lot of length didn't necessarily to me, we are trying to build him
• 1:41:56
  into a you know, to put the weight on him so he can be your, oh, what's the what's the guy's
• 1:42:03
  name from, from Philly?
• 1:42:05
  His name just left me.
• 1:42:07
  They're they're big receiver.
• 1:42:10
  AJ Brown.
• 1:42:11
  AJ Brown.
• 1:42:12
  Yep.
• 1:42:13
  You're you're trying to build him into that.
• 1:42:14
  I'm not saying that he is that player, but you're talking about a guy that has the height,
• 1:42:19
  that you just need to put the weight onto and because those guys are I mean, he's always
• 1:42:24
  open.
• 1:42:24
  Right?
• 1:42:25
  There's not a lot of guys that can cover someone that you could throw the ball.
• 1:42:28
  I mean, even JJ McCarthy would have trouble overthrowing this guy.
• 1:42:32
  Well, man, I was just gonna bring up a point here, you know, looking at receivers that might
• 1:42:37
  fall in the seventh round there.
• 1:42:41
  McCulley Davante McCulley from Michigan is six five two fifteen.
• 1:42:49
  So he's got that, you know, upside with JJ or with McCarthy.
• 1:42:54
  In 2023, McCarthy was there.
• 1:42:57
  He had 48 catches, 604 44 no.
• 1:43:02
  McCarthy wasn't there for that year.
• 1:43:03
  Right?
• 1:43:04
  Yeah.
• 1:43:04
  I was gonna say it is McCarthy here in Minnesota in three years when this guy sniffs
• 1:43:11
  the field.
• 1:43:12
  Right?
• 1:43:12
  Like Yeah.
• 1:43:13
  But I but I just say what what I just say with McCarthy out the door now.
• 1:43:18
  With with with this kid from Michigan, you know, in 2023, he had 48 catches, six six
• 1:43:25
  hundred forty four yards, and six touchdowns.
• 1:43:27
  So low, you know, being able to pair up the.
• 1:43:30
  Come off the board at this point
• 1:43:32
  as well.
• 1:43:33
  Correct?
• 1:43:34
  So one guy that kinda catches my eye here just because where his big board rank is still the
• 1:43:40
  Lake McCree McCree from USC, and then Riley Nowakowski, Indiana just won a national
• 1:43:48
  championship.
• 1:43:50
  Get a little bit of a profile on those guys before we really make this pick.
• 1:43:54
  I I think we're all in agreement that if we're going wide receiver, we're going Colby Young.
• 1:43:58
  But let let's take a look at the the tight ends.
• 1:44:01
  Lake McCree was at one sixty five.
• 1:44:04
  Riley Nowakowski was at one seventy six, and Marlon Klein from Michigan.
• 1:44:10
  So you got a couple of big 10 tight ends out there that are still available.
• 1:44:17
  Okay.
• 1:44:18
  Marlon, six six two forty Yeah.
• 1:44:21
  I from Michigan.
• 1:44:24
  It's a big boy.
• 1:44:25
  Yeah.
• 1:44:27
  24 catches, 248 yards, one touchdown last year.
• 1:44:34
  McRae, Lake McRae, six four, two forty three.
• 1:44:38
  Last year, 30 catches, 450 yards, four touchdowns.
• 1:44:43
  And who is the third guy?
• 1:44:46
  Riley Nowakowski from Indiana.
• 1:44:50
  Riley, there he is.
• 1:44:52
  So coming off the chip, Chippewa six two two fifty, 32 yard or 32 receptions, 387 yards with
• 1:45:01
  two touchdowns.
• 1:45:03
  I don't know.
• 1:45:04
  Think about that Michigan guy.
• 1:45:07
  I thought he was big, but I think you actually get a little bit more out of the kid from USC
• 1:45:12
  who's about the same size but had a lot more production at that and USC obviously being who
• 1:45:18
  they are.
• 1:45:18
  They're throwing the ball a lot more.
• 1:45:20
  So I think you're getting somebody that can go in line and block, but where with the Michigan
• 1:45:26
  guy, you're definitely getting an in line blocker that catches a few passes where the the
• 1:45:31
  kid from USC, I think you might be getting actually a little bit more production out of
• 1:45:36
  that.
• 1:45:37
  A little bit any any more profile on the USC tight end?
• 1:45:41
  No.
• 1:45:41
  I was just looking.
• 1:45:42
  No.
• 1:45:42
  There ain't no Okay.
• 1:45:45
  Let's just see
• 1:45:46
  if they We're getting to the point of the draft where there ain't ain't ain't much there.
• 1:45:50
  To me, I think you have somebody I'm drafting more here because these guys the likelihood of
• 1:45:58
  them seeing the field is low to begin with.
• 1:46:01
  Right?
• 1:46:01
  Because you have another draft next year and the year after that.
• 1:46:04
  I like a guy with a little more upside on the catching space, and I I think I'm more
• 1:46:10
  intrigued by the tight end from USC Lake McCree than I am by the kid from Michigan.
• 1:46:17
  But so to for me, it comes down to, Lake McCree or Colby Young.
• 1:46:22
  Which one are you trying to develop?
• 1:46:24
  Which position are you trying to develop more, in that looking down two years down the road?
• 1:46:32
  Right?
• 1:46:33
  For me, I think you probably need more at the tight end position because you're probably
• 1:46:38
  drafting a wide receiver in the first two rounds next year because you're it's going to
• 1:46:44
  be higher on the defense where you can draft the tight end in the sixth round this year,
• 1:46:49
  stash him on the practice squad knowing that you're maybe building him into that role.
• 1:46:54
  And more of that, like, that Zach Randoll, right, or the Zach Rudolph role.
• 1:46:58
  Yep.
• 1:46:59
  Right?
• 1:46:59
  The a guy that plays a lot in line and and is, you know, mostly blocking out there, but it has
• 1:47:05
  shown the capacity to get out and catch some balls.
• 1:47:08
  And, you know, who doesn't like getting their hands on balls?
• 1:47:13
  Pause.
• 1:47:14
  Clip that.
• 1:47:16
  But he says clip that.
• 1:47:19
  Yeah.
• 1:47:19
  I I definitely I I'm I'm game either way.
• 1:47:22
  I mean, they're both big boys.
• 1:47:24
  They're both gonna be ones.
• 1:47:26
  You know?
• 1:47:26
  That's I would That was sad.
• 1:47:27
  It it would it would all depend on what the class is like next year for the
• 1:47:32
  I'd say tight end.
• 1:47:33
  But, yeah, we could definitely go tight end.
• 1:47:35
  I don't know.
• 1:47:35
  I think Yeah.
• 1:47:36
  Because your your wide receiver, we're we're decent at wide receiver right now.
• 1:47:40
  It's not a need.
• 1:47:41
  We can go
• 1:47:42
  out and get somebody.
• 1:47:44
  Right.
• 1:47:45
  Right.
• 1:47:46
  And I and I think next year, it's going to be a need depending on what they do with Addison.
• 1:47:50
  I I I still think it's a high likelihood Jordan Addison is not on this team next year at all.
• 1:47:57
  I but I I don't think it's happening before the draft at this point.
• 1:48:01
  I think he needs to go out and prove it.
• 1:48:02
  So, yeah, I I like I like this Lake McCree.
• 1:48:05
  I think you're getting a lot of value there too.
• 1:48:07
  He was one sixty five on the big board, and and you're picking him up at one ninety six.
• 1:48:13
  So as far as that goes, I think you're getting some run here.
• 1:48:17
  Somebody that did produce at a team that throws the ball quite a bit, but has the size where
• 1:48:24
  you can maybe coach that if he didn't do a lot of inline blocking, you can coach him up in
• 1:48:29
  that area knowing that Right.
• 1:48:31
  He can get out there and catch up with you for you.
• 1:48:33
  So
• 1:48:33
  Well, welcome aboard.
• 1:48:34
  Welcome to the Vikings.
• 1:48:38
  Set one more pick.
• 1:48:39
  Yep.
• 1:48:43
  Yeah.
• 1:48:43
  Let me get some out here.
• 1:48:45
  So Malik Benson, a wide receiver out of Oregon.
• 1:48:50
  Riley Nowakowski still on the board here.
• 1:48:54
  Toriano Pride junior, a cornerback out of Missouri, still on the board now for us.
• 1:49:00
  Caleb Douglas, a wide receiver out of Texas Tech, and then Owen Hinke, a linebacker out of
• 1:49:06
  Oklahoma.
• 1:49:07
  That's peaking my interest because you know how, B flow is.
• 1:49:12
  He can find value in there, in some of these guys too.
• 1:49:15
  So, B, we kinda talked about the wide receivers and stuff in that tight end already.
• 1:49:20
  Would like to know more about, Toriano Pride junior out of Missouri quarterback and the
• 1:49:27
  Oklahoma linebacker Owen Heinke.
• 1:49:30
  Heinicke?
• 1:49:30
  It might be Heinicke.
• 1:49:31
  I don't fucking know.
• 1:49:33
  Let's see here.
• 1:49:34
  So let's see if I can find the linebacker first.
• 1:49:37
  There he is.
• 1:49:40
  So he is eighteenth on the big board for linebackers, one ninety nine.
• 1:49:45
  Six two two two twenty eight out of Oklahoma.
• 1:49:52
  Last year, 34 tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble.
• 1:49:58
  Yeah.
• 1:49:58
  That was his best years.
• 1:50:01
  So it looked like he got the start, you know, set for his first three years.
• 1:50:06
  Who was the corner?
• 1:50:10
  The cornerback was let me get back to the big board.
• 1:50:15
  Cornerback was Toriano Pride Junior out of Missouri.
• 1:50:20
  There he is.
• 1:50:20
  Five ten, one eighty five, second or twenty second ranked, hundred eighty ninth overall.
• 1:50:29
  Last year, only 17 tackles, seven assisted, two picks, four pass deflected.
• 1:50:40
  Looks like he kinda was just a bench guy, you know, maybe got a couple starts here and there.
• 1:50:48
  You know, so overall, they put up much there as a corner for tackles as average about 17 for
• 1:50:55
  his four years there.
• 1:50:57
  So so I I I have more than two.
• 1:51:01
  Yeah.
• 1:51:03
  Well and I think just at this point in the draft, you're looking to fill up the bottom of
• 1:51:08
  that roster, your special teams guys.
• 1:51:10
  And and I think that at that, at that linebacker position, especially given who our
• 1:51:16
  defensive coordinator is and what he loves that, you end up getting a lot more value in
• 1:51:22
  that.
• 1:51:22
  A guy that's five ten and a little undersized at that, you really you're not playing any
• 1:51:27
  special teams.
• 1:51:28
  You're not No.
• 1:51:28
  And that's thing is too.
• 1:51:29
  We take we take the guy that we want.
• 1:51:33
  And if we have two or three guys that we're kinda talking about, then we offer them all,
• 1:51:38
  you know, if they're still there in free agency after the draft, we sign them to the practice
• 1:51:43
  squad or back in the process.
• 1:51:44
  You You're
• 1:51:45
  definitely you're definitely getting there now.
• 1:51:47
  Right?
• 1:51:47
  So I think we go ahead and draft Owen Heineke, Oklahoma linebacker.
• 1:51:52
  Was two zero three on the big board.
• 1:51:54
  So I
• 1:51:54
  feel like you're still getting some you're getting some value at two thirty five here as
• 1:51:59
  well with one of our seventh round picks.
• 1:52:02
  And then we just have, I think, one more pick left after that.
• 1:52:05
  So
• 1:52:07
  two forty four.
• 1:52:08
  Now we traded it.
• 1:52:09
  Right?
• 1:52:10
  Well, we traded 234 with the other one and then came back with two three.
• 1:52:15
  We still have that other one.
• 1:52:17
  And now we are here at our last pick of the draft at two forty four.
• 1:52:23
  Toriano is still there.
• 1:52:24
  Another linebacker out of TCU.
• 1:52:26
  Nnamdi Obiazor would like to know more about him just because we already drafted one TCU
• 1:52:33
  linebacker that I know we all really liked.
• 1:52:37
  Okay.
• 1:52:37
  Let's get back in there.
• 1:52:41
  Alright.
• 1:52:41
  Linebackers.
• 1:52:43
  Draft.
• 1:52:46
  Best available.
• 1:52:50
  Alright.
• 1:52:51
  Where is my linebacker?
• 1:52:52
  And what was his name again?
• 1:52:53
  Junior?
• 1:52:58
  What was his name, Bob?
• 1:52:59
  The line the linebacker was Nnamdi Obiazor.
• 1:53:04
  Oh, from TSU.
• 1:53:05
  Yeah.
• 1:53:06
  So six three two twenty nine, twentieth position, two two hundred seventeenth overall.
• 1:53:15
  Last year, 46 sack or 46 tackles, two sacks, a force fumble, two picks.
• 1:53:22
  You know, looks like he's got about nine career sacks in college.
• 1:53:28
  Looks like he started his last three years, averaged about 45 ish tackles by himself, about
• 1:53:39
  40 assisted.
• 1:53:41
  So he's around the ball when it comes down to it.
• 1:53:45
  Seems like a good special teams guy if we don't take a receiver or something.
• 1:53:49
  Yeah.
• 1:53:49
  Yeah.
• 1:53:50
  Yeah.
• 1:53:50
  I don't think we've kinda seen the receivers that are
• 1:53:53
  in there.
• 1:53:54
  But that also gives people some more ammunition, Yeah.
• 1:53:57
  The defensive side.
• 1:53:59
  You know?
• 1:53:59
  Yeah.
• 1:53:59
  I like it.
• 1:54:01
  Yeah.
• 1:54:02
  I mean, there's just not I mean, obviously, you're at the back of the seventh round now.
• 1:54:06
  Some of these guys are probably gonna be available, down there.
• 1:54:09
  What about Eric Gentry, linebacker from USC?
• 1:54:12
  He's right below, Nnamdi.
• 1:54:14
  We'll just kinda compare those two guys against each other.
• 1:54:17
  Although, Nnamdi seemed
• 1:54:18
  like he had quite a
• 1:54:19
  bit of production.
• 1:54:20
  I know a a big 12 school, but those horned frogs have been playing some good ball these
• 1:54:24
  last couple of years.
• 1:54:24
  Got a good program down there.
• 1:54:28
  Where is he?
• 1:54:34
  I don't see him.
• 1:54:36
  What college?
• 1:54:38
  USC.
• 1:54:40
  USC.
• 1:54:41
  Eric Gentry.
• 1:54:43
  Oh, Eric Gentry.
• 1:54:44
  There he is.
• 1:54:46
  67221.
• 1:54:48
  I know Cody's probably just getting excited with that hike there.
• 1:54:52
  Twenty first overalls, twenty eighteenth on the big board, 51 tackles, three sacks, five forced
• 1:55:02
  fumbles, no picks last year.
• 1:55:06
  Definitely looking
• 1:55:06
  seven at a linebacker and he can't pick a damn ball off over the middle.
• 1:55:10
  What the hell are you doing, man?
• 1:55:11
  Hey.
• 1:55:12
  It as long as he's as
• 1:55:14
  long as he's batting them down, I don't care.
• 1:55:16
  Six,
• 1:55:16
  seven, come on over.
• 1:55:17
  Yeah.
• 1:55:17
  It looks like he's a five year college player, you know, about two to three sacks a year,
• 1:55:24
  forced bubbles.
• 1:55:26
  I mean, definitely a guy that looks like he's around the ball.
• 1:55:29
  So I like that guy.
• 1:55:32
  I I think I'm I'm leaning more towards the TCU linebacker with a little bit more, you know,
• 1:55:39
  production on the tackle side.
• 1:55:42
  Pair them up with your other linebacker that you drafted out of there as well.
• 1:55:47
  Maybe keep that tandem together.
• 1:55:49
  Mhmm.
• 1:55:50
  I I don't think there's anything wrong with that, especially back half of the draft.
• 1:55:53
  Let's go ahead and do it.
• 1:55:54
  Eric Gentry is available, UDFA, and do
• 1:55:59
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:56:00
  That's that's nothing too.
• 1:56:01
  One of the the one of the we draft one of the other guys available.
• 1:56:04
  Anything's possible.
• 1:56:05
  I mean,
• 1:56:06
  you know, one thing is is we didn't even look at quarterbacks this draft.
• 1:56:10
  I mean, you know, which is probably a good thing.
• 1:56:13
  So
• 1:56:15
  Alright.
• 1:56:16
  Well, let me edit this.
• 1:56:17
  So we're going the linebacker out of TCU?
• 1:56:21
  Yeah.
• 1:56:25
  That pick, we go.
• 1:56:28
  So before we get our our grade there, Blubber, you told us our grade.
• 1:56:33
  What who do we end up drafting?
• 1:56:38
  Alright.
• 1:56:39
  So let's,
• 1:56:46
  what's it gonna let me do here?
• 1:56:50
  I like that.
• 1:56:51
  So we drafted.
• 1:56:55
  I shoulda had these rolling and going the whole time.
• 1:56:58
  So I'm not sure how to do this.
• 1:57:01
  I want I wanna hear this great.
• 1:57:02
  Do, like, vibe check.
• 1:57:04
  Well, let's go vibe check first for you guys.
• 1:57:08
  I'm gonna pull myself up.
• 1:57:09
  I'm do some production.
• 1:57:10
  I mean, how do you guys feel just kind of in your in your memory bank about the draft that
• 1:57:17
  transpired?
• 1:57:18
  And, the the players that we selected as I pull up everyone's name and positions.
• 1:57:22
  I
• 1:57:23
  mean, I I feel like we hit on the first, first view.
• 1:57:28
  And then, you know, it's just it's always tough when you get to the, back half of the draft.
• 1:57:33
  It just literally throwing darts blind.
• 1:57:37
  You know?
• 1:57:38
  But getting Tinaman right away, Price, second round, Kilgore with the third round, and then
• 1:57:47
  starting to work on a offensive line with the center.
• 1:57:52
  You know, I I'm satisfied.
• 1:57:55
  Both those big guys that we got on the offensive line, man, I would if I'm the if I'm
• 1:58:00
  that coordinator or offensive line coach, I'm definitely work with them, preparing them to be
• 1:58:06
  in there.
• 1:58:06
  And heck, the center, the heck guy, he might be a starter.
• 1:58:11
  I mean,
• 1:58:12
  you know, because, you
• 1:58:13
  know, with the way.
• 1:58:14
  But, yeah, I I think we hit pretty good.
• 1:58:18
  You know, I I would I would be disappointed if ESPN gave us anything less than, I think, a b
• 1:58:24
  minus.
• 1:58:25
  I mean I'm I'm
• 1:58:26
  I'm wanting to see this now.
• 1:58:27
  I wanna see this now.
• 1:58:29
  I I do.
• 1:58:30
  Definitely
• 1:58:32
  I might have to dip out early on you fellas.
• 1:58:34
  Okay.
• 1:58:35
  Y'all got a big meeting yourself there,
• 1:58:38
  Absolutely.
• 1:58:39
  I'm forty forty one minutes late on it.
• 1:58:41
  Oh.
• 1:58:42
  Oh.
• 1:58:43
  Well, we don't wanna keep you, You know?
• 1:58:46
  So
• 1:58:46
  It's alright.
• 1:58:47
  It's alright.
• 1:58:48
  I'll just have to go forty one minutes later.
• 1:58:51
  Yeah.
• 1:58:52
  You know what then?
• 1:58:53
  Like, it's draft season, boys.
• 1:58:55
  You already know.
• 1:58:58
  So sorry.
• 1:58:59
  Just trying to get these up.
• 1:59:00
  Round five.
• 1:59:03
  There's a lot here, man.
• 1:59:06
  Oh, I can't even go that long.
• 1:59:08
  Okay.
• 1:59:08
  So that's good enough.
• 1:59:09
  Cool.
• 1:59:10
  Alright.
• 1:59:11
  So our overall grade there, Bubba?
• 1:59:14
  Let's see here.
• 1:59:15
  I'm just gonna roll the, well, here's
• 1:59:18
  There we go.
• 1:59:19
  Here we go.
• 1:59:19
  Alright.
• 1:59:20
  So there's the first four rounds.
• 1:59:21
  I couldn't get all of them on there, but the, so, yeah, we had Dylan Tianeman, Jadarian Price
• 1:59:27
  in the second round, Jalen Kilgore in the third round, Sam Hecht in round three as well, the
• 1:59:34
  center from Kansas State, Demetrius Crownover, Caleb I can't even read that.
• 1:59:42
  Fuck.
• 1:59:42
  That's small.
• 1:59:46
  E alarms or
• 1:59:48
  No.
• 1:59:48
  I think we I think we did really good for the first four rounds getting those two offensive
• 1:59:53
  linemen, getting And a running back.
• 1:59:55
  And, like, a really good running backfield.
• 1:59:57
  And the second overall running back.
• 1:59:59
  I mean, definitely, you know, you know, I'm just kinda scared with that pick because the
• 2:00:04
  fact that we know KLC doesn't like to run or can't run because of our offensive line.
• 2:00:09
  So
• 2:00:09
  Man, and then in the back half of the draft, you got a a tight end that kind of fills a
• 2:00:14
  position that you're definitely looking at need.
• 2:00:17
  I know that we resigned or restructured Hawks deal.
• 2:00:20
  And then you grab a couple of linebackers that may may make this team and fill some special
• 2:00:26
  teams roles for you depending on the players you got.
• 2:00:28
  So hitting the grade my draft now Let's go.
• 2:00:33
  We got a b.
• 2:00:35
  85 score out of that.
• 2:00:37
  Alright.
• 2:00:37
  Alright.
• 2:00:38
  Capital management was a b.
• 2:00:40
  Fulfilling needs was an a minus and reaches, just an a on that.
• 2:00:45
  So I think we did good.
• 2:00:47
  I think I I if if the Vikings land somewhere in here, far as that goes, I don't know how you I
• 2:00:56
  don't know how you hate it.
• 2:00:58
  Right?
• 2:00:58
  Right.
• 2:00:59
  Right.
• 2:01:00
  No.
• 2:01:01
  This is what this is what trades that we did, though.
• 2:01:04
  You know?
• 2:01:05
  So hopefully hopefully, Minnesota takes some notes.
• 2:01:09
  But with that being said, now that we got a grade, hey, fellas, I gotta get going.
• 2:01:14
  Awesome, man.
• 2:01:15
  Coach.
• 2:01:16
  Absolutely.
• 2:01:17
  Man.
• 2:01:18
  I'll see you next week.
• 2:01:19
  Thanks, sir.
• 2:01:20
  See you six and o.
• 2:01:21
  Later.
• 2:01:22
  Good luck this weekend.
• 2:01:25
  No.
• 2:01:25
  Be I think this is a damn good draft.
• 2:01:28
  Obviously, there there's so much up in the air with these you know, with the draft.
• 2:01:33
  You never know who's gonna be picked ahead of you, so there's only so much you can do.
• 2:01:39
  Position value is where we got hurt a little bit with the d minus, but that's just where our
• 2:01:44
  team needs are.
• 2:01:45
  We don't need the high profile needs that that really drive that position value up.
• 2:01:51
  You didn't we didn't draft a single quarterback or edge player or that, but those are the
• 2:01:56
  places where we're strong, especially now having Kyler Murray on this team.
• 2:02:00
  You're not looking at quarterback.
• 2:02:02
  You're you're definitely feeling good about where Dallas Turner is as your young edge
• 2:02:06
  rusher, and you still have you still have Grenaud on this team.
• 2:02:11
  Right?
• 2:02:11
  So you're you're feeling pretty decent about how everything shook out here.
• 2:02:15
  And you still got Pace.
• 2:02:17
  You still got Van Ginkle.
• 2:02:19
  I mean, the defense, I think, is gonna be I I think we're gonna go as far as our defense
• 2:02:24
  could take us.
• 2:02:25
  I think our offense is still going to gel need to gel, especially, you know, get that
• 2:02:32
  offensive line built up.
• 2:02:33
  If our offensive line could block, you know, I think our office is gonna excel.
• 2:02:40
  They they need to get that b a minus, b minus rate or I I would say their draft grade this
• 2:02:48
  year has to be about a a minus to b, maybe b plus for us to be satisfied as fans.
• 2:02:56
  You know?
• 2:02:57
  I thought we did pretty good.
• 2:02:59
  We were
• 2:02:59
  able to trade back we were able to trade back at one point, pick up another pick, which we
• 2:03:05
  turned into another really good player.
• 2:03:07
  So I think able to train
• 2:03:08
  the clock.
• 2:03:09
  Running back.
• 2:03:10
  You know, I'm surprised, you know, Pierce or Price was still there when we drafted him in
• 2:03:17
  the second round, you know, being that he's second.
• 2:03:19
  I mean, there's a lot of teams out there that need running backs.
• 2:03:22
  So either ESPN knows something that the teams are looking at different running backs or, you
• 2:03:29
  know, there's a stronger needs for those other teams to pass out of.
• 2:03:32
  So definitely happy we got a good running back to go along with Mason and the rest of the
• 2:03:38
  running back crew.
• 2:03:39
  But, you know, that's what I got.
• 2:03:41
  He doesn't have to walk in and be
• 2:03:44
  the man.
• 2:03:45
  Right?
• 2:03:45
  Well,
• 2:03:45
  mean, day one, it
• 2:03:47
  can develop for half the season.
• 2:03:49
  And as, you know, Aaron Jones' body starts to give out on him later in the year, you can fill
• 2:03:56
  that in.
• 2:03:57
  I know, you know, does does Aaron Jones, not that he is a fullback, but does he come in and
• 2:04:01
  kinda fill in that role when you need it?
• 2:04:04
  I you're keeping him on this team because he can pass protect.
• 2:04:08
  Right?
• 2:04:08
  I I think that's the major reason, and you don't know what you're gonna get in the draft
• 2:04:12
  yet.
• 2:04:12
  If this young man comes in and proves that he can fill that role, then then maybe you're
• 2:04:18
  cutting in in Aaron Jones.
• 2:04:19
  And we like the guy, but you didn't restructure and do everything that you had to do to get
• 2:04:25
  him.
• 2:04:26
  So great job.
• 2:04:27
  It's been job.
• 2:04:28
  This is awesome.
• 2:04:29
  And again, too.
• 2:04:30
  I mean, draft day talks.
• 2:04:32
  I mean, we might along with those trades, they might pull an Aaron Jones trade.
• 2:04:37
  They might pull a Jordan Addison trade.
• 2:04:39
  I
• 2:04:39
  mean, there's a lot We were only able to trade draft capital.
• 2:04:43
  We weren't able to throw players into the draft everything.
• 2:04:46
  Yeah.
• 2:04:46
  There might be there might be another simulator we could probably look into and see for next
• 2:04:52
  week when we finally get closer and but no.
• 2:04:56
  I I liked what we did.
• 2:04:57
  I think we all had good points and, you know, perspective.
• 2:05:01
  But again, if anybody's watching that knows somebody in that front office there, send them
• 2:05:05
  this tape and, you know, maybe they can give us a phone call and, you know, and and get that
• 2:05:11
  ball rolling.
• 2:05:12
  They do have an opening for GM, man.
• 2:05:14
  So I'm always there.
• 2:05:16
  Well, Bea, I appreciate you hanging out.
• 2:05:18
  I know it's late.
• 2:05:19
  We we lost our expert analyst already, and I gotta get some sleep as well.
• 2:05:26
  The cats
• 2:05:27
  I'm on the way too.
• 2:05:28
  So awesome.
• 2:05:29

• 2:05:45
  We really wanted to dip in and to, provide a little coverage for our fans with the mock
• 2:05:51
  draft, to give you a little bit of insight into what we were thinking out here, and and I had a
• 2:05:58
  blast doing this with my guys.
• 2:06:00
  I know it was a little slow on the production side tonight, but it was a lot of fun getting
• 2:06:04
  to spend a few hours with my guys and to just talk football to assess the draft as we see it
• 2:06:11
  and to go from there.
