  Speaker 1: as well. I can't believe draft season is here. I

  Speaker 1: mean a lot of us were watching the Combine this

  Speaker 1: got a great discussion coming away. Let's get right to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: it and joining us this week. He is the lead
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: writer over at Fans Side and absolutely love talking football
• 1:20

• 1:22
  Speaker 1: around the corner, a lot of prospects to get into.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And we're certainly gonna be talking a lot about the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: upcoming NFL Draft on the Philadelphia Sports Table podcast show
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: for the coming weeks. So anyway, we've got to John
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Bueller with us from Fans Side and John, Buddy, it
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: is great to see you, Great to talk with you.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Thanks for jumping on this week.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Always a pleasure, draft, always a pleasure. You're looking forward
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to it?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a great discussion coming your way, and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I really wanted to get into, like right off the bat,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: one of the Philadelphia Eagles' main rivals in the NFC East,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, and what they may do in the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: upcoming NFL Draft. Interestingly enough, as I'm like scrolling through Twitter,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you know, I come across one of your stories and
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you put up a piece recently on Fans Side that
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: really talked about Brian Schottenheimer's recent comments that make the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Cowboys first pick of the draft seem inevitable. He appears
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to want that running back of the future in Dallas. John,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm wondering, you know, as you were writing the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: piece as you're covering this story here, what are your
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: thoughts on how Brian Schottenheimer really went about this and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: how the Cowboys are really looking at the running back
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: position through this draft. What are your thoughts here?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: It's very interesting with Dallas because this is Brian Schottenheimer's
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: first and maybe potentially only opportunity to be a head coach. Right,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: none of the other teams that had a vacancy interviewed him.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I think the last time he was up for a
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: job might have been for Vanderbilt when it went to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Derek Mason the way back in the day.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's a while ago.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So, like, Brian Schottenheimer is one of the mutuals that
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: me and my fancy dot com colleague Cody Williams, so
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I do a do the Fall Start podcast with. So
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: he's a Cowboys fan, I'm a Georgia fan. So Brian
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Schottenheimer has been the OC for both of our teams. Look,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Brian Schottenheimer is the son of Marty Schottenheimer, and that
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: means Marty ball run run past punts, so obviously runs
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the two most important downs there.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: And I think with him getting.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Promoted from within, it's a blessing and a curse for
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys. It's a blessing in the sense that he
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: knows the roster very well. He's been there for a
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: long time, you know, throughout I think the entire Mike
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: McCarthy era. So he knows what the problems are. But
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: then you're also like, I can't see the forest of
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the treats. Yeah, you're you're picking at twelve. And the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: idea is like if Ashon genty of Boise States there, Yeah,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: take him, That's fine, that's you know, that's like taking
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: b John Robinson. That's like taking Todd Gurley back in
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the day Jamior Gibbs, that type.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Of running back.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like if you're at twelve and he goes six
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to the Raiders, are you really going to take O'mrion
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Hampton out of North Carolina who is probably gonna go
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: like twenty four to the Vikings or something like that.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yep. And what I find interesting, and we're gonna get into,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: like how certain positions are kind of deep in the draft.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, one position that is deep in this draft again,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get to it is the interior defensive line position.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And I would think that the Cowboys. It would behoof
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: of them to possibly look at that type of position,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: but I just don't know if they're gonna do it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Like it seems that the Dallas Cowboys, year in and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: year out, they make head scratching decisions when it comes
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: to the NFL Draft, when it comes to free agency,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: when it comes to franchise tagging certain players. It's just
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: they're a mind boggling organization. And as an Eagles fan,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I'm on the sidelines loving it. I'm absolutely loving what
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys are doing. So it's gonna be interesting
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to see what they do with that first round pick.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And again, we're gonna be getting into a lot of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: this in the future here on the PSD podcast show.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: But I wanted to reference another article, John, that you
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: had recently wrote O Fans Sided about the Atlanta Falcons,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and I view this franchise in a very interesting way
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: because of just how they've been flailing for so long.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: There are franchise I think that could potentially take it
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to the next level year after year, but they continually
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: fail at it. And I read your recent piece just
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: on how they really need to concentrate on their pass rush.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: This offseason. I mean it's one of the worst in
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean, this is the team that's been
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: all over the place again in recent years, bizarre decision
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: making in terms of their roster and personnel. Do you
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: see the Atlanta Falcons making a strategic push to upgrade
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: their pass rush through free agency, the draft or both.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: How do you think they how do you think they
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: plan on, you know, making that plan of action for themselves.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Well, this is the team I read for Jemorge on Saturday,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Falcons on Sundays, So it all evens.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Out in the end. I just hope they have a plan.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I know they're not really swimming in cap space. So
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the ability to bring back Matthew Judon on a second
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: contract is probably not happening. You may it's kind of
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: hit or miss. If you're gonna bring Justin Simmons back,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: he may go to Philadelphia because Vic Vangio's there and
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: you've got to replace Darius Slay and everything like that.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: But I would hope that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: The Falcons probably do what they did last year at quarterback,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: like they're like, Okay, let's get a guy and Cousins,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: let's get a guy in Pennix. But like at pass rusher,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: So you're attempting to solve it, and you may you
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: may pay a premium for potentially a guy from the Eagles,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Josh Sweat may become available. I think that he may
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: have priced himself out. You go, you go in that direction.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I'd love for them to get a guy like Jalen
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Walker out of Georgia, Michael Williams out of Georgia, maybe
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Mike Green out of Marshall. James Pearce Junior out of
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Tennessee scares me a little bit because he reminds me
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of Vic Beasley, and I can't, I can't.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I can't do that anymore.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, But I will say though Atlanta has
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: hit on a lot of its first round picks, just
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: not in the defensive line, you know, the attack mckinleys
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: of the world, the dry Perry. So maybe if Will
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Johnson's still there out of Michigan at cornerback, get a
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: guy to pair opposite of aj Twell go from there
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: and then maybe, you know, maybe maybe take a guy
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: in a free agency. You also have Brayln Trice, who
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: was third round pick out of Washington, got injured the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: first preseason game. They're expecting big things with him opposite
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: of ard Le mccketty obviously didn't work out because he
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: didn't play.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: But I hope that they go out about.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: It, you know, not just having one guy solve all
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the problems, just just attacking like the Eagles, dud just
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: just draft a bunch of dogs and go for.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: That absolutely, especially in the trenches, right yeah, you gotta
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: have that solidified in the NFL anymore these days. So
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: all right, well, John, let's get into some NFL prospects
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: talk here. I want to get into some players that
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: may make a difference for some teams at the top
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of the draft board. And of course, as we do
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: every year when it's draft time, we're looking at the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: quarterback position. We're looking at the quarterback position to see
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: how they're gonna be able to help various teams in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the future. We know the two top prospects, Cam York
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Judor Sanders Jackson Dart from Ole miss is also a quarterback.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I guess we can keep our eyes on. Not too
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: sure if he's gonna be a first round draft pick necessarily.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Then again, crazy things have happened in NFL drafts as
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of late. I mean, I'm wondering are the top teams
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: like the Tech, the Titans, I'm sorry, Titans, Browns, and Giants.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, are they going to be jocking for position
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: over talent like York and Sanders. How do you kind
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: of see this playing out from everything that you've been
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: writing about, reporting on. How do you see the top
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: of this draft board really shaken out as it pertains
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to the quarterback position?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Right now?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I see cam Ward going number one.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it may calling him York? Was I just calling
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: him York for some reason? I have been loved. I
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: have been loving cam Ward and calling him cam York.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: For God's folks, I know I'm gonna I'm gonna be
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: getting some correspondence because I'm screwing up names constantly on
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the show. For God's sake. Oh my gosh, here let
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: me do this. I just slapped myself in the face.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Folks.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: It's that time.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: It's that time of the year where like we're just
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: trying to we're just trying to fight through the super Bowl. Exactly,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: turn off off it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Gosh, I'm so sorry to interrupt.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: You go ahead in no ways, but I would I
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: would be surprised if camboard did not go one. Uh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I know that the Titans general manager Mike Burgunsei, who
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: came over from the Chiefs, he said, we may go
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the best player available. I don't buy that way. Do
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: you leave the well run organization like the Chiefs. Do
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: they have the number one pick for the Titans and
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: then not take a quarterback because like the Titans need
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: something absolutely horrible ownership. They need some sort of an
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: identity there. Uh my, My colleague Cody Williams did write
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: a mock draft day for fanside dot com, having the
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Giants potentially trade up to three, trade up from three
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: to one with the Titans. The t would take Abdul
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Carter out of Penn State at three, and then he
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: had Shureg Sanders going two to the Browns. I am
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: much much higher on shod Or Standers than Camboyd. I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: think Camboard's kind of got flags for me. Yeah, some
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: of his comments, some of the stuff that he does.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, sure Sanders, yes he's the son of
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Deon Sanders, but there's a certain polish to him, like
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not seeing the dumb stuff. Shureth Sanders is like, yeah,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: maybe maybe let's not go to this organization, let's go
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: to another one. But I want to see shore Standers
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: go to the Raiders. I think that that fits a lot.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Pete Carroll will be good, respect Brady. We'll see what
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: happens playing Chip Kelly's system. He kind of reminds me
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: of Gino Smith, like the good Geno Smith, which I
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: think would be really good.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Ward.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I try, I've been Maybe he's like
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: a lesser version of like Deshaun Watson coming out of Clemson,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: like the Joe, the Deshaun Watson, Joe Burrow Tony rimo
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: type of player. Could do a lot of things, but
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I feel like where he goes is very dependent. And
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: then uh, Jackson Dart, who I think may go to
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: someone like the Steelers, but then they may either either
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Hammer or Justin Fields go there, or you know, Jackson
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Dart maybe go to the Rams. Yeah, maybe the Raiders
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: in the second round. He kind of reminds me of
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: like Baker Mayfield.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Yep, so pretty high on them. And then probably after
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: that you're looking at Quinn. You was out of Texas,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Jalen Miller out of Alabama Viewers. Unfortunately that's next. Dan
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Bradford and he's brittle as hell.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not a yourers fan at all, to be honest
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: with you, Like I even if he gets the right
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: type of quarterback, coach or even head coach, offensive coordinator,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: what have you. We talk on this podcast a lot
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: about relationships and how those relationships behind the scenes are
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: so important for a quarterback to be able to do
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: what they need to do on the field. Even if
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: he does have a great relationship viewers, I just don't
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: think he is a great NFL caliber quarterback.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: No. I think if he goes somewhere like the Rams
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: where it's McVeigh, you're kind of going from like, okay,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: a plus with Sark to a plus with McVeigh.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Maybe it'll work.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: But like there's other situations out there where, like put
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: him on the Saints. Even though I like Doug Nussmeyer,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: they're gonna get Garrett next year.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Right, absolutely right? Well, moving along with the conversation here, uh,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: this year, the tight end position is really talented in
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: this draft. I mean we've got you know, We've got
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Penn States, Tyler Warren, Michigan's Colson Loveland. There are probably
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the two top tight ends that are gonna be off
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the board this coming April in the draft, this kind
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: of first round potential and overall tight end depth, John,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: it doesn't happen too often in NFL drafts as we know.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: So do you see certain teams really clamoring for tight
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: ends in this upcoming draft because there are more than
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: a few of them? What are your thoughts here?
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I think Titan one is your guy, Tyler Tyler.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Warren, are you related to it?
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I wish I was. Sorry taking a drink there, I
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: wish I was, but I am not.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not related to Walker ber either, Okay exactly. I
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: think maybe Warren could go as high as like the
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Saints at at nine them like a Jimmy Graham type
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: of player.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Yep, the Cowboys could be a good fit for them.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: At twelve, they break my heart.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I am so tired of Penn State players going to
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys ever since Sean Lee. It has broken my heart.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: We got Michael Parsons. I can't deal with it. If
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: it's Tyler Warren maybe jumping off the Ben Franklin Bridge
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: in Philly. If you if you hear a guy doing
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that the night of the draft, that's me, Joe.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: That's I've also seen a theory out there that maybe
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: he replaces Kyle Pitts in Atlanta because Pitts is kind
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: of more of like a not an eleven personnel sort
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: of things, So maybe he goes somewhere like you trade
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: him the Chargers, maybe a draft Warren there Again, I
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: think Atlanta's gonna go all defense in.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: This in this draft with their five picks, not a lot,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: but I would say Warren and then Lovely a little.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Bit later, you're looking kind of down in the range
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: with like the Broncos and Chargers, like they got to
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: get boaticks and weapons and they got to see if
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Justin Herbert's the dude, I'm so tired of this. It's like,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: are you gonna make it happen? Like Jim Harbaugh is here, like,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: go out there, try to beat the Chiefs. They're vulnerable,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and we saw the Eagles kick their tail in the
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl, Like, go out there.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Get it.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: You've gotta have more guys than just Lad McConkey y.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: But I kind of feel like that part of the
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: draft twenty three through twenty five, somewhere in that range
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: you could be looking at Warren coming off the board,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: maybe Loveland if Warren goes higher.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: All right, very good again, folks. Talking to John Bueller
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: from fan Sided does great, great work, a lot of NFL,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of NFL content that they're forced putting up
• 14:29

• 14:33
  Speaker 1: we love our fan Sided sites out there. John, Where
• 14:35

• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can follow me on Twitter or the X

  Speaker 2: at Bueller one eighteen. All of my written work is
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: on fansidea dot com. I mostly cover college football in
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: the NFL from a national scope. I also write a
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: lot about the Atlanta Braves. I have a twice weekly
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: college foot podcasts I do with my boss and colleague,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Cody Williams called Fall Start. It's loosely tied to Fan Sided.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: We basically just it's just dumb, but we we walk up.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: That's what we've been doing here for almost twelve years, buddy,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: all dumb stuff.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: And I also got a weekly Atlanta Falcons podcast like
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: through blogging Dirty the Falcons Sisher fan sided do that
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: about once a week, usually on a Wednesday. It's a
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: little bit more, a little more tame. I'm mostly talking
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: to myself trying to cover the NFL from a national
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: scope field inso a tortured Falcons fan. It's off the
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: rails too.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Sounds good, sounds good.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier, the interior defensive tackle position, interior
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: defensive line position is really solid and deep in this
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: year's draft. I mean, it feels like it's perhaps the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: deepest defensive tackle class over the past five years or so,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and that bodes well for teams like the Eagles, who
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: love to build their team through the trench. As we
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: talked about the fact that the Falcons are probably gonna
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: be utilizing and drafting some defensive tackles uh through throughout
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: this draft as well, what are your thoughts on the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: interior defensive tackle position this year? John, And you know how,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: you know how it may be a theme for this
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: year's draft.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I tell you what I I think if I see
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: a mock draft for Mason Graham's going anywhere but five
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: to Jacksonville. Yeah, Like it's just it's just not a
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: good draft, right, That's It's like it's like like number
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: four is gonna be Travis under to the Patriots. Number
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: five is going to be Mason Graham to the uh
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars. But like, yeah, he kind of reminds me
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: of a little bit of like a Warren Sapp sort
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: of stuff. There's a lot of really good players out
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: there on the edge and like just the whole defensive
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: front seven. It's kind of like you can pick whatever
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: you want. You've got, like, you know, your true speed
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: guys like Mike Crane and James Pearce Junior. And you've
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: got guys, you know, Mason Graant, like a more more
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: traditional tackle. You've got the Donovan guy. I can't say
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: his last name out of BC.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about. I can't say it either.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Christ is messing up cam Ward's name for God's sake.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got a what Nick Scourton out of A
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and M. You got Shamar Stewart out of an M.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: You got three guys out of Georgia. And it's also
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: crazy like four guys potentially can go in the first
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: round in Michigan. They won like eight games last year.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be really interesting to see what happens
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: at the detackle position for sure. I'm hoping the Philadelphia
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Eagles are gonna be just dipping their dipping their hands
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: right right in that talent because with Milton Williams likely leaving.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: You mentioned Josh Sweat too, and yes he's a pass
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: rusher defensive end, but uh, you know, it's it's ripe
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: with talent this year in terms of the defensive tackle position. So, buddy,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: before I let you go, wanted to talk about secondary
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: players in this year's draft, and it's a good year
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: to need a cornerback or a safety in this year's
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: draft pretty deep as well. I'm wondering your thoughts on
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: whether or not we're gonna see some top level secondary
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: prospects coming off the board early in Day one as well.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: What are you thinking here?
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: I think that that's very much in play as well.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: There's such a premium for that. It's a wide receiver
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: dominant offense because it's a passing centric The first cornerback
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: off the board is going to be a Travis Hunter.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I know you want to play both ways, Just just
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: pick one. Just be an yeah, just be the elite
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: at one as opposed to good it too, like I
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: understand he's from my neck of the woods and everything
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: like that and the Atlanta area, but like, just just
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: go to Patriots and be like exactly, pretty big fan
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: of Will Johnson in Michigan. I'd love to see him
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: fall down to Atlanta at fifteen, he may be off
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: the board somewhere like eight to Carolina. Carolina's gonna get
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: a really good player at eight. Dan Morgan, former a
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: live background oft the You and with the Panthers is
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: just look at his chops watching somebody else above him
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: do dumb stuff. There's also Today Baron, Texas cornerback is
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: probably going to go pretty high as well because he's
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: kind of a name, Like I didn't really hear much
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: about him at Texas, but that's probably a good thing.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: And then I'm a massive fan of Malachi Starks out
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: of Georgia. Yeah, I think that he made like the
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Colts are gonna take one of those two guys because
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: they've got nobody from the defense at backfield. And you
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: just just go out there. Listeners the PSD podcast, you're
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: great at your job, because Chris Palid still has a
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: job and he's the worst show manager. I've members.
