2:06
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
2:08
SPEAKER_00: No, love that.
2:09
SPEAKER_00: We absolutely love this time of year.
2:11
SPEAKER_00: Uh, the the draft, all the prep that we've done has led up to this week.
2:15
SPEAKER_00: We had a mock last week.
2:18
SPEAKER_00: Uh, usually we go four downs and we cover our bangle topics, but you know what?
2:23
SPEAKER_00: We're gonna break uh tradition again this week.
2:26
SPEAKER_00: We're gonna use uh A to Z Sports.
2:29
SPEAKER_00: Brant found this one great website.
2:32
SPEAKER_00: Uh, haven't even had some AI uh suggestions included.
2:36
SPEAKER_00: But same, we're gonna give you another mock draft.
2:38
SPEAKER_00: It's mock draft season.
2:40
SPEAKER_00: One quick comment though.
2:42
SPEAKER_00: Uh, where there's smoke, there's fire.
2:45
SPEAKER_00: Brian, things are getting a little hot in Cincinnati.
2:50
SPEAKER_00: I know we're about to do a mock draft, but anything going on from uh your your reports?
2:56
SPEAKER_02: You know, I know the city that we may be talking to is the Big Apple.
3:01
SPEAKER_02: They also have one big sexy or sexy dexy.
3:05
SPEAKER_02: So let's let's make this work, let's make it make sense.
3:08
SPEAKER_02: Uh that would be that would be early Christmas before the draft if the Bengals can get this done.
3:14
SPEAKER_00: So yes, I absolutely love it, and I do believe that the Bengals have been waiting to make a move like this on the defensive side, Brandt.
3:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's uh super exciting.
3:27
SPEAKER_01: I love that the Bengals are being somewhat aggressive and investigating all their options.
3:32
SPEAKER_01: I think we talked about it too.
3:33
SPEAKER_01: I still wouldn't, I still be making some calls about Mad Max.
3:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:37
SPEAKER_01: And seeing if maybe I could leverage you know the Dexter Lawrence situation.
3:42
SPEAKER_01: Uh, but I would take this till draft day and see what I might be able to make of it.
3:46
SPEAKER_01: But it's super exciting.
3:48
SPEAKER_01: I think both players would really help this team on defense.
3:51
SPEAKER_01: So I'll take any any improvements we can get on that on that side of the ball.
3:56
SPEAKER_00: Loved what you said there because you're right.
3:58
SPEAKER_00: Uh I'm fine with making the deal, but I'd also like to see who's going to be falling, who's going to be sitting there.
4:04
SPEAKER_00: But maybe also that would play into what the Giants are trying to accomplish.
4:07
SPEAKER_00: So we will see.
4:08
SPEAKER_00: It'll be very interesting.
4:09
SPEAKER_00: But today, we still have the 10th pick overall.
4:14
SPEAKER_00: And so, again, fellas, let's get through the draft.
4:17
SPEAKER_00: This time, instead of each of us taking a pick, we're going to do this as a team together.
4:21
SPEAKER_00: The Houday All Day podcast has come together.
4:24
SPEAKER_00: I think we're pretty consensus on the guys we like.
4:27
SPEAKER_00: I think the positions, if things were all equal.
4:30
SPEAKER_00: And so very excited to see how this falls out.
4:32
SPEAKER_00: So, Brant, let's get the party started.
4:34
SPEAKER_00: You got the draft hat on.
4:35
SPEAKER_00: You look official, you look great.
4:37
SPEAKER_00: Look, we couldn't have our boy Michael Turner.
4:39
SPEAKER_00: What did he get?
4:40
SPEAKER_00: Didn't he get his City Connect box from the Reds?
4:43
SPEAKER_00: I wanted you to know that uh the bangles out for you to send some authentic Brian, keep an eye out.
4:48
SPEAKER_00: But let's roll this, let's let's get to the draft.
4:51
SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go, fellas.
4:53
SPEAKER_00: Brian, right now, if all players were available, who would you want at number 10?
4:58
SPEAKER_00: Caleb Downs.
5:00
SPEAKER_00: Brant.
5:02
SPEAKER_01: Ooh, all players.
5:03
SPEAKER_01: I think I'd go Bane, despite some of the uh you know recent reports that have come out.
5:09
unknown: Yeah.
5:10
SPEAKER_01: As long as everything checked out when I brought him in, I think I'd still go Bane.
5:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'd still lean Bane, but you're right.
5:15
SPEAKER_00: I think Downs is definitely my one A right behind that.
5:18
SPEAKER_00: I like it.
5:19
SPEAKER_00: All right, so we got AI suggestions, which I love this.
5:22
SPEAKER_00: We're embracing technology here at the Hood A All Day podcast.
5:27
SPEAKER_00: Um, but I actually really love this because a lot of these make sense.
5:30
SPEAKER_00: It's Jeremiah Love, running back, uh, Monroe Freeling, offensive tackle, Georgia, Jordan Tyson, wide receiver, Arizona State.
5:37
SPEAKER_00: You want to see what players are available, Brant?
5:40
SPEAKER_01: Let's do it.
5:41
SPEAKER_01: So, just for everybody that's listening to know who went.
5:46
SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, Sonny Styles went number three, David Bailey, number four.
5:50
SPEAKER_01: We got Ruben Bain to Cleveland, interesting, at number six.
5:54
SPEAKER_01: Washington picked up Caleb Downs, unfortunate, and Mansor Delane went to the Saints at number eight.
6:03
SPEAKER_00: Look, I love Jeremiah Love, but right now I just want to say in this situation, back to Brandt's comment, if the deal was on the table for number 10, this is where I'd be willing to do number 10 for uh for Dexter Lawrence with the New York Giants.
6:19
SPEAKER_00: Brian, who catches your eye and with these players available, who is your pick at 10 if the Dexter Lawrence trade is not available?
6:28
SPEAKER_02: There's two players.
6:30
SPEAKER_02: One one makes sense because I think he he is in the conversation for the best player in the draft.
6:36
SPEAKER_02: So you already mentioned is Jeremiah Love.
6:38
SPEAKER_02: The other guy that uh catches my eye, I know he's not as highly rated, but there's been a lot of teams that have taken the chance on an interior offensive lineman before they're supposed to be taken, and it's worked out quite well.
6:52
SPEAKER_02: Um, and that's actually the kid from Penn State.
6:55
SPEAKER_02: Uh of the offensive lineman on the on the board, he's the one that I like the most.
7:00
SPEAKER_02: It also for me for the Bengals, it makes sense.
7:03
SPEAKER_02: I think he could give uh I thought I don't think he's gonna move him out of there, but he could give Reisner a uh a run for his money, and he's also big enough that he can fill in that at that as a swing tackle this year.
7:14
SPEAKER_02: He's a he's very, very athletic.
7:17
SPEAKER_02: He's a big guy.
7:18
SPEAKER_02: So those are the two guys that stand out to me.
7:20
SPEAKER_02: I know you guys don't love him.
7:21
SPEAKER_02: The third guy for me would be the tight end for Morgan.
7:24
SPEAKER_02: So I think I think he can block, and he's a he's he's he may be Vernon Davis.
7:30
SPEAKER_02: I mean, part of that is because he looks like him physically, but he just might be that kind of athlete.
7:35
SPEAKER_00: Sadiq is awesome.
7:37
SPEAKER_00: Uh, I just feel like with getting somebody that can uh really open up our run game, or like you said, protect Burrow would probably lean towards that first, but Sadiq is awesome.
7:48
SPEAKER_00: Brand, who gets your eye in this situation?
7:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think the obvious one is Jeremiah Love, kind of like last week's uh you know, mock draft.
7:59
SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, this one's playing out very similar, but uh he's one of the top players, if not the top player in the draft.
8:07
SPEAKER_01: So with him being there at 10.
8:09
SPEAKER_01: I love what you said.
8:10
SPEAKER_01: I I completely agree.
8:11
SPEAKER_01: I think this scenario is where I would really be calling the Giants and Las Vegas to see what more they want besides number 10 for either Mad Max or Dexter Lawrence.
8:24
SPEAKER_01: So uh, but in this situation, I'm thinking Jeremiah Love.
8:28
SPEAKER_01: I'd actually still be considering Jramad McCoy, even though there's some you know rumblings out there about maybe his knee doesn't look as good as uh it did really with his workout.
8:40
SPEAKER_01: There might be some degenerative stuff going on there, which is kind of unfortunate if that's true.
8:45
SPEAKER_01: But uh I think my third player would be Dylan Thieneman.
8:49
SPEAKER_01: So those three are are my top guys.
8:52
SPEAKER_01: I think Brian's probably I think it's super it's a super sneaky pick for the Bengals going with Sadiq, though, because I know they want to upgrade the tight end position.
9:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, but I I I'm just not in on Sadiq, he just doesn't do enough for me at number 10, although he's pretty balanced as a player.
9:11
SPEAKER_01: So I'm sticking with love, McCoy, or I love Dylan Thieneman.
9:16
SPEAKER_01: You guys know I love him.
9:17
SPEAKER_00: So all those guys make our team better.
9:20
SPEAKER_00: I two weeks in a row, all this team needs is love.
9:24
SPEAKER_00: Love is the pick for the Cincinnati Bengals.
9:26
SPEAKER_00: Number 10 overall.
9:28
SPEAKER_00: Running back, Jeremiah Love, Notre Dame, fighting Irish.
9:32
SPEAKER_00: Come on down.
9:32
SPEAKER_00: Let's roll to round two.
9:36
SPEAKER_01: I mean, if you like points, we're putting up points, fellas.
9:41
SPEAKER_01: No doubt.
9:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
9:44
SPEAKER_00: All right.
9:44
SPEAKER_00: AI suggestions.
9:47
SPEAKER_00: Edge, Mason Thomas, one of my favorite players, Oklahoma.
9:50
SPEAKER_00: Uh how do you say uh Chase's last name?
9:54
SPEAKER_00: Bizonitis?
9:57
SPEAKER_00: Interior offensive line, Texas AM.
9:59
SPEAKER_00: Uh and then Chris Bell, wide receiver from Louisville.
10:02
SPEAKER_00: Brandt, let's see who's available there.
10:09
SPEAKER_01: Oh, can you guys see?
10:11
SPEAKER_01: We got R.
10:12
SPEAKER_01: Mason Thomas still on the board.
10:16
SPEAKER_01: We have Christian Miller out of Georgia, Chris Brazell, I believe Cincinnati brought him in for a visit.
10:22
SPEAKER_01: D'Angelo Pons, Gabe Akis, Lee Hunter.
10:27
SPEAKER_01: You know Brian's gonna like his Lee Hunter, big daddy, Jake Golday, Jacob Rodriguez, Connor Lou, AJ Hulse.
10:37
SPEAKER_01: Lots of good players still on the board.
10:39
SPEAKER_01: But right before we are picking, Kansas City took Zion Young, Cleveland with a sneaky good pick with Chris Johnson.
10:47
SPEAKER_01: I would have loved Chris Johnson.
10:48
SPEAKER_00: Who so who stands out so far, Brant?
10:51
SPEAKER_00: Who would be your top two right now that you would pick uh right now for the second round?
10:57
SPEAKER_01: So my top two, I'm looking at Gabe, Akis, Student.
11:02
SPEAKER_01: I think he plays uh he's the size that the Bengals are looking for.
11:07
SPEAKER_01: 6'3, 6'4, 260.
11:10
SPEAKER_01: Uh, but talk about a get off.
11:13
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I believe his split, his 10-yard split was like one, I think it was one five nine.
11:19
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
11:21
SPEAKER_01: So I think he might have had the fastest split, uh, 10-yard split in the com at the combine for all edge guys.
11:30
SPEAKER_01: So I love that.
11:31
SPEAKER_01: Uh just scanning real quick.
11:34
SPEAKER_01: So he'd be my number one.
11:37
SPEAKER_01: That's you're on the call, Thomas.
11:40
SPEAKER_01: But I think I might go D'Angelo Pons as my number two.
11:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Pons for me.
11:45
SPEAKER_00: I absolutely love, especially.
11:47
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I know his workout stuff, but that guy just seemed like a dog on that team and in the secondary.
11:52
SPEAKER_00: And I think it's the things that we wanted CTB to be.
11:55
SPEAKER_00: I think Pons offers, and then to play with Dax and DJ Turner would definitely be one of my two.
12:02
SPEAKER_00: Brian, who who stands out to you?
12:04
SPEAKER_02: No, I'm I'm right there with you guys.
12:06
SPEAKER_02: The guy that stands out to me is Ponds, uh, national champion, leader on that defense.
12:11
SPEAKER_02: Uh, say what you will about about size, but the kid just makes plays.
12:15
SPEAKER_02: So I like him.
12:16
SPEAKER_02: I would be I would be more in on Gabe from Illinois, but I have a I have a suspicion that uh it may be draft day, it may be before.
12:27
SPEAKER_02: I have a feeling that uh Burroughs buddy from uh his Ohio State days may be uh on his way to Cincinnati.
12:35
SPEAKER_02: So we don't have enough pass rushers.
12:38
SPEAKER_02: Are you are you breaking news here, Brian?
12:40
SPEAKER_02: I'm not breaking any news.
12:41
SPEAKER_02: It hasn't happened, but I think uh I think while everybody else is is trying to get Dexter's agent on the phone, Joey Joey B is calling the other uh Joey B and trying to get him in the into the Queen City.
12:54
SPEAKER_02: So so I'm with I'm I'm with you guys.
12:56
SPEAKER_02: Uh Ponds from Indiana is is I think is our guy.
12:59
SPEAKER_00: Mason Thomas is such a playmaker.
13:02
SPEAKER_00: Uh from Edge from Oklahoma.
13:04
SPEAKER_00: Really love uh his tape, but I gotta go D'Angelo Ponds corner.
13:09
SPEAKER_00: I think that's three for three for all of us.
13:12
SPEAKER_00: Lock him in.
13:13
SPEAKER_00: Let's get to the third round.
13:15
SPEAKER_00: D'Angelo Ponds corner, Indiana national champion.
13:19
SPEAKER_00: And I think it it fits.
13:21
SPEAKER_00: We need another stud in that secondary.
13:23
SPEAKER_00: I think we can use Pons.
13:25
SPEAKER_00: Brandt always talks about coming in as a nickel.
13:27
SPEAKER_00: I think though we love Downs, Pons can be that.
13:30
SPEAKER_00: All right, AI is suggesting Golday linebacker Cincy, Ramola, Romello, height, edge from Texas Tech, and wide receiver Antonio Williams from Clemson.
13:40
SPEAKER_00: Brandt, let's see who's available.
13:43
SPEAKER_00: Some of the top guys.
13:46
SPEAKER_01: So we got a little bit of a fall for Malachi Lawrence.
13:49
SPEAKER_01: So top guy available right now.
13:51
SPEAKER_01: Jake Golday, like was suggested, out of the University of Cincinnati.
13:56
SPEAKER_01: Jadarian Price in the third round, fellas.
13:59
SPEAKER_01: That's uh he's gonna be gone by then.
14:01
SPEAKER_01: What do you want to bet?
14:02
SPEAKER_01: Seattle takes him at the end of the first round.
14:05
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I've seen that in multiple mocks.
14:07
SPEAKER_01: Could definitely see that happening.
14:09
SPEAKER_01: Antonio Williams, though, Romello Height, like was was suggested.
14:13
SPEAKER_01: Uh Deny Dennis Sutton is there.
14:16
SPEAKER_01: Jake Slaughter.
14:18
SPEAKER_01: We need a backup center.
14:21
SPEAKER_01: Keelan Rutledge, who I actually go going in the first round.
14:26
SPEAKER_01: So really surprising to see him still in the third.
14:29
SPEAKER_01: Then you got Kyle Lewis, Jay Sean Barum.
14:32
SPEAKER_01: You guys know I like Jay Sean.
14:34
SPEAKER_01: Brian, who sticks out?
14:35
SPEAKER_00: Who are your top two that you'd like in right here, uh available for the third round?
14:39
SPEAKER_02: I like uh I like uh Antonio Williams out of uh out of Clemson wide receiver.
14:47
SPEAKER_02: And then I like uh I like Denai Dennis Sutton.
14:51
SPEAKER_02: Uh I feel like when everybody was watching uh Carter uh just a couple years ago when Penn State was in the was in the playoffs, I thought Sutton made some noise as well as an edge rusher.
15:04
SPEAKER_02: Plays extremely hard.
15:05
SPEAKER_02: So like like I I shied away from in the second round, but could never have too many pass rushers.
15:11
SPEAKER_02: So he's those two are probably at the top of my list, and I probably lean toward defense.
15:16
SPEAKER_00: I love that.
15:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Antonio Williams was really good playmaker.
15:19
SPEAKER_00: I know that they didn't have the best season, but what would gosh would that be an upgrade and and make us all forget about Tyler Boyd?
15:26
SPEAKER_00: Brant, who you like in the third round?
15:27
SPEAKER_00: Who are your two?
15:29
SPEAKER_01: Uh I wanted to say Jake Golday because I got to represent my Bearcats, but uh I I like the value that Bar we might be able to get with Barra maybe in the fourth, so I'm gonna roll the dice there.
15:40
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I think I'm I'm leaning either, I'm just I worry about getting some edge help later than the third round.
15:49
SPEAKER_01: So I like Romello height.
15:51
SPEAKER_01: He's not super big, but has some really good get-off and would be a pass rush specialist.
15:59
SPEAKER_01: I think we could bring in.
16:00
SPEAKER_01: Or I'm thinking uh along the same lines as Brian here, deny Dennis Sutton.
16:05
SPEAKER_01: I mean, he fits all the measurables that the Bengals are looking for.
16:08
SPEAKER_01: He's a really big kid, 6'4, 6'5, 260, 265.
16:13
SPEAKER_01: Uh you know, his motor runs kind of one speed.
16:17
SPEAKER_01: Wish he had a little bit of a second gear, but uh has a ton of experience too.
16:22
SPEAKER_01: So those are my two guys.
16:24
SPEAKER_00: I, you know, I love those.
16:26
SPEAKER_00: I saw two offensive linemen, Jack Slaughter, interior offensive line from Florida, Rutledge, interior offensive line from Georgia Tech.
16:33
SPEAKER_00: It'd be hard not to pass up those, but I'm sorry.
16:35
SPEAKER_00: But that defensive line, if we haven't gotten sexy dexy uh or Max in the building, I'm gonna lean one of those Romello or Dennis Sutton.
16:43
SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna let you two arm wrestle it out.
16:45
SPEAKER_00: You two tell me, we take in Romello Height from Texas Tech or Danny Dennis Sutton from Penn State.
16:54
SPEAKER_01: You pick Brian.
16:56
SPEAKER_01: I'm happy out of the way.
16:58
SPEAKER_02: Let me just look at one more thing.
16:59
SPEAKER_02: I was I was looking at both of these guys, and uh, and I'll give you my uh my decision on it.
17:05
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go um I'm gonna go hike on this one.
17:12
SPEAKER_02: Uh one he looks good without sleeves, those are some guns, and he he put up 10 sacks last year.
17:18
SPEAKER_02: Sun had eight and a half, which is tremendous in the in the big ten, but um I'll go hike.
17:24
SPEAKER_02: I'll go production, give him the edge on production.
17:26
SPEAKER_00: Nice.
17:28
SPEAKER_00: Love that with height.
17:29
SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Bengals.
17:30
SPEAKER_00: We are on to the fourth round.
17:32
SPEAKER_00: We are cranking here at the Hood Ay all day podcast.
17:36
SPEAKER_00: It's pick number one ten, isn't it?
17:38
SPEAKER_00: Yep, one ten's next.
17:40
SPEAKER_00: Awesome.
17:41
SPEAKER_00: All right, so we've already got a running back, a corner, edge.
17:43
SPEAKER_00: I know we don't draft on need.
17:45
SPEAKER_00: We take best player available, but I think it is also important to go over AI suggesting us to take an offensive tackle, a corner, and an edge.
17:53
SPEAKER_00: Brant, let's see who's available.
17:55
SPEAKER_00: Let's see if you uh rolled the dice and got Barham sitting here.
18:01
SPEAKER_01: I saw him go off the board, so no such luck.
18:04
SPEAKER_00: Devin Moore's a good corner from Florida.
18:07
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Devin Moore's a good corner.
18:08
SPEAKER_01: So who else is available for everybody that's listening?
18:10
SPEAKER_01: We got LT Overton, who I honestly am not in on at all.
18:14
SPEAKER_01: Uh I think he's a little bit of a tweener.
18:16
SPEAKER_01: Brendan Thompson, Oscar Delp, really interesting to me.
18:19
SPEAKER_01: Tight end.
18:21
SPEAKER_01: Jude Bowery.
18:22
SPEAKER_01: I think the Bengals actually had a visit with him, brought him in.
18:25
SPEAKER_01: So that'd be interesting.
18:26
SPEAKER_01: I think Trey Zune's a sneaky, sneaky pick.
18:29
SPEAKER_01: Oh, but Jalen Jalen Kilgore.
18:32
SPEAKER_01: I know the Bengals love Jalen Kilgore right now.
18:35
SPEAKER_01: Just scrolling a little bit further down.
18:37
SPEAKER_01: Caleb Elam's Orr has scored really high in some uh data profiles.
18:43
SPEAKER_00: Crawford the edge from Auburn.
18:45
SPEAKER_00: I know uh Keldrick gets all the, but Crawford had a great motor uh on the other side.
18:51
SPEAKER_01: I agree.
18:52
SPEAKER_01: I agree.
18:52
SPEAKER_01: He probably, in my opinion, was probably the best pass rusher on Auburn.
18:57
SPEAKER_01: I know uh some people might might disagree with that one, but I was pretty uh so just scanning this, and just one more player to throw out there because I know people are gonna be thinking about him.
19:10
SPEAKER_01: And if you want him right now, you gotta scoop him up.
19:13
SPEAKER_01: It's Markel Bell.
19:14
SPEAKER_01: So Markel Bell is offensive tackle.
19:18
SPEAKER_01: Uh my number one, I'm gonna go with Jalen Kilgore.
19:22
SPEAKER_01: I like what he could possibly uh bring to this team.
19:26
SPEAKER_01: Safety from South Carolina.
19:28
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
19:29
SPEAKER_01: And uh my second guy, fellas, I'm actually gonna be in on is uh Trey Zoon because he's played left tackle and he's played center.
19:38
SPEAKER_01: So I think he could back up both positions.
19:41
SPEAKER_01: I think he could grow into one or the other and be a serviceable starter in the future.
19:47
SPEAKER_01: So those will be my two.
19:49
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna echo you before I even uh let Brian talk.
19:52
SPEAKER_00: That's that's mine.
19:54
SPEAKER_00: Brian.
19:58
SPEAKER_00: Whoops, I think you got muted, Brian.
20:03
SPEAKER_02: I like two guys.
20:04
SPEAKER_02: Uh they play in the same area.
20:07
SPEAKER_02: I don't think they're similar in style play, but that's uh Bud Clark from TCU Safety, and then I'm with you guys on Jalen Kilgore.
20:16
SPEAKER_02: I'm probably gonna lean more toward Kilgore being the fact that he's 210 pounds and Clark's like 188 on a on a day he had two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as opposed to one.
20:28
SPEAKER_02: So I'm going a little bit more the size.
20:30
SPEAKER_02: I like the idea of Kilgore covering the tight end and also coming down and putting Lamar Jackson into the dirt.
20:37
SPEAKER_02: So I'm gonna lead toward Kilgore on this one.
20:40
SPEAKER_00: Kilgore is the pick.
20:41
SPEAKER_00: Let's do it.
20:42
SPEAKER_00: Let's lock it in and let's roll to our wow.
20:45
SPEAKER_00: Sadly, we got to wait until the sixth round.
20:47
SPEAKER_00: And then we got two picks in the sixth and two in the seventh.
20:51
SPEAKER_00: So fifth round.
20:52
SPEAKER_00: I we talked about this last week, fellas.
20:54
SPEAKER_00: I'm hoping we either package some of these late picks and come up and get somebody we want in the fifth, or we're able to trade back maybe in the second or third and be able to pick up a fifth.
21:05
SPEAKER_00: Don't know if that's possible.
21:06
SPEAKER_00: Would absolutely love us to be able to do that.
21:10
SPEAKER_00: Brian, any thoughts?
21:12
SPEAKER_02: No, I'm kind of with you.
21:13
SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't mind uh seeing what we can do to package and get back in the fifth round.
21:18
SPEAKER_02: Um, I'm sure there'll be somebody on the on you know on the board that that we are definitely intrigued by.
21:24
SPEAKER_02: So let's be aggressive, make the move.
21:27
SPEAKER_00: AI suggesting linebacker, wide receiver, interior offensive line.
21:32
SPEAKER_00: Brandt, who let's see who some of these best players available are that stick out to you.
21:38
SPEAKER_01: My heart got ripped out right before uh we pick Eli Raredan, who I was really in on with this pick, went to Seattle right before.
21:49
SPEAKER_01: That would have been a good spot.
21:51
SPEAKER_01: Would have been a great spot to pick him up.
21:53
SPEAKER_01: I think he uh can definitely do a few things for us in the at the tight end position.
21:58
SPEAKER_01: However, we got Aaron Anderson, LSU.
22:02
SPEAKER_01: He's a spark plug in the slot.
22:03
SPEAKER_01: Would be interesting.
22:05
SPEAKER_01: Caden Curry.
22:07
SPEAKER_01: Guys know I like his motor out of Ohio State.
22:10
SPEAKER_01: Carson Beck still on the board.
22:12
SPEAKER_01: Keegan Trost, who I think could play some interior and uh kick out to tackle if you needed needed him.
22:20
SPEAKER_02: Trying to look.
22:21
SPEAKER_02: Anybody else stand out, Brian?
22:24
SPEAKER_02: I'm with Brent.
22:25
SPEAKER_02: I like Curry.
22:26
SPEAKER_02: Um there's somebody else up there at the top that I'm but I'm forgetting the name right now.
22:32
SPEAKER_02: Who uh intrigued me.
22:34
SPEAKER_02: Oh, I don't know a ton about him.
22:37
SPEAKER_02: Um but it's the uh it's Trost, the interior offensive lineman from Missouri.
22:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was gonna say at this point, we haven't added any uh offensive line, and I think I think versatility uh at this point in the sixth round.
22:56
SPEAKER_00: There's some guys that I still like, uh, like the guard from uh Wyoming uh would be one for sure, and I'll bet you he'll be available on some of our next picks, but uh Trost would definitely be one that I would be very intrigued on.
23:09
SPEAKER_00: I I think he would make this team and immediately add depth to us.
23:13
SPEAKER_00: Anyone else standing out, Brant?
23:16
SPEAKER_01: Uh I personally don't think it's too high, which is crazy.
23:20
SPEAKER_01: But Micah Morris is ranking 313th.
23:25
SPEAKER_01: But you can't have a Bengals draft without a Georgia player.
23:30
SPEAKER_01: And uh I really like what he brings to uh the pass protection side of things.
23:37
SPEAKER_01: However, I think he's just as strictly a guard.
23:39
SPEAKER_01: I don't think he's gonna give you a lot of flexibility, but I'm a real big fan of Michael Morris.
23:43
SPEAKER_02: Well, let's like Nolan Rucci because he'll be there later.
23:46
SPEAKER_01: I think he's gonna be there later, but I like Nolan Rucci too.
23:49
SPEAKER_01: I think he can move a little bit for a tackle, needs some development.
23:52
SPEAKER_01: Uh, I like Keegan Trouss, but uh just got to throw one more name out there.
23:56
SPEAKER_01: Tight end wise.
23:58
SPEAKER_01: Joe Royer is still available on that.
24:00
SPEAKER_00: Royer from Cincinnati.
24:02
SPEAKER_00: I think he was underutilized.
24:03
SPEAKER_00: Brian, how do you feel about Royer?
24:06
SPEAKER_02: I'm all for a tight end.
24:09
SPEAKER_02: It's something the team needs probably downplaying the need of a tight end.
24:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
24:13
SPEAKER_02: So uh Brant saw him up with close and personal, and I trust Brant, so I'm with it.
24:18
SPEAKER_00: The thing with Royer, too, it goes back into that Eric all type.
24:23
SPEAKER_00: He can block, and he's a weapon downfield.
24:25
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't show off Drew Sample.
24:28
SPEAKER_00: We know we're running the ball.
24:29
SPEAKER_00: Gaseki, we know we're throwing it.
24:31
SPEAKER_00: Royer's one of those guys that can do both.
24:34
SPEAKER_00: I like it.
24:35
SPEAKER_00: Block it in and let's get rolling.
24:37
SPEAKER_00: Let's do it.
24:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's a good that's a that's a great value pick right there.
24:43
SPEAKER_00: AI still suggesting wide receiver and tier defensive line and some defensive line help.
24:48
SPEAKER_00: Brant, let's see who's available.
24:50
SPEAKER_00: At 199, still in the sixth round for the Bengals.
24:54
SPEAKER_00: I like I'm still all on board for for any of the offensive line that we talked about.
24:58
SPEAKER_00: Anybody else that that we didn't mention last uh pick, Brian, that's sticking out to you?
25:04
SPEAKER_02: At this point where he's lasted a little bit longer, I'm I'm kind of in on Rashawn Benny as well.
25:10
SPEAKER_02: Add him to the defensive line.
25:12
SPEAKER_02: Um you know, Michigan, Michigan boy, he'll play hard.
25:16
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, I think if you're gonna take a swing at a defensive lineman, this is this is about the last guy you might be able to really take a swing on.
25:31
SPEAKER_01: It is surprising that Caden Curry's there, and I know we already took height, but I think if you're thinking height might be able to play that Sam linebacker position, then maybe you can keep Caden Curry as your as your fifth or fourth defensive end.
25:44
SPEAKER_01: So I don't know that I think it's it's probably between Benny and and Curry at this point.
25:51
SPEAKER_00: All right, fight it out, you two, to the to the duel.
25:54
SPEAKER_00: Benny, defensive line, Michigan, Curry, edge, Ohio State.
26:02
SPEAKER_02: I'm probably gonna lean.
26:03
SPEAKER_02: I know we took him last week, but I'm probably gonna lean back to Curry.
26:07
SPEAKER_02: Um, I think he offers you just a little bit more juice than Benny does.
26:10
SPEAKER_01: I I I think he's a better overall player than than Benny.
26:14
SPEAKER_01: However, we just got the defense, we got the edge already, and and Benny's kind of the last defensive tackle left, but I agree.
26:22
SPEAKER_01: I pick players, right?
26:25
SPEAKER_01: So let's go Caden Curry.
26:27
SPEAKER_00: Let's do Curry.
26:28
SPEAKER_00: Let's bring him on.
26:29
SPEAKER_00: We got two guys that are meant for this uh this roster so far, Jeremiah Love and uh Caden Curry.
26:37
SPEAKER_00: Edge from uh from Ohio State.
26:40
SPEAKER_00: We are rolling into the seventh round.
26:42
SPEAKER_00: We've got two picks in the seventh round.
26:44
SPEAKER_00: AI is still telling us interior offensive line, wide receiver, offensive tackle, help.
26:49
SPEAKER_00: Brant, let's see who's available.
26:51
SPEAKER_00: What pick number 221?
26:56
SPEAKER_00: Anyone sticking out?
26:57
SPEAKER_00: I like McAllister, the wide receiver from TCU.
27:00
SPEAKER_00: Brian, anybody else sticking out?
27:03
SPEAKER_02: No, I'm not necessarily any individual, but I like where you're going with the wide receiver.
27:09
SPEAKER_02: Uh would be open to do that, do that.
27:12
SPEAKER_02: I'm um not a BYU guy, but Chase Roberts is not a bad player at all.
27:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, solid slot receiver, special teams, returner.
27:20
SPEAKER_00: Brand, anybody sticking out for you?
27:23
SPEAKER_01: I know we already got a running back, but Eli Heydrich is interesting.
27:27
SPEAKER_01: He he tore up the Bearcats in the bowl game.
27:29
SPEAKER_01: So I like Nolan Rucci.
27:31
SPEAKER_01: Uh he's got some athleticism, I think, as a backup tackle.
27:35
SPEAKER_01: You already mentioned him, Mike.
27:36
SPEAKER_01: I I was a big fan of McAllister.
27:38
SPEAKER_01: When I watched him play against the Bearcats, he just he just tore us up.
27:42
SPEAKER_01: We just didn't have an answer for him on the outside.
27:45
SPEAKER_01: Uh Caleb Caden Wetgen, if you're looking for a returner, he is a fast white kid.
27:52
SPEAKER_00: So you want to do I vote wetgen or McAllister?
27:55
SPEAKER_00: Brian, you got to pick on uh on either the wide receiver from TCU or returner slash wide receiver for Iowa.
28:03
SPEAKER_01: Just gonna throw this last one out there.
28:05
SPEAKER_01: Is Jimmy Roder and Red Murdoch are two linebackers I'd be really interested in as well?
28:14
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I like the kid from Buffalo as well.
28:16
SPEAKER_02: Um if I'm going if I'm going receiver here in the sixth or seventh round, I'm probably leaning to somebody that can return kicks.
28:25
SPEAKER_00: So let's go wet gen or Murdoch.
28:28
SPEAKER_00: Murdoch linebacker from Buffalo or Wet Gen wide receiver from Iowa.
28:33
SPEAKER_00: Which one do you guys like?
28:39
SPEAKER_01: I think they'll both be there with our next pick, so I don't think that that's how you uh how we can narrow it down.
28:45
SPEAKER_01: But go on the clock, you gotta make a pick.
28:52
SPEAKER_01: Brent, take this one.
28:55
SPEAKER_01: I like Red Murdoch.
28:58
SPEAKER_01: Let's get a guy that's just gonna knock your head off.
29:02
SPEAKER_00: I was gonna say Red Murdoch, Rod Murdoch, excuse me, linebacker from um uh Buffalo.
29:11
SPEAKER_00: Super excited for that.
29:13
SPEAKER_00: All right, one last pick.
29:15
SPEAKER_00: Uh AI still saying wide receiver, interior offensive line or defensive line.
29:20
SPEAKER_00: Let's see who's left at 226.
29:24
SPEAKER_00: Uh, anybody?
29:25
SPEAKER_00: I'm going either, I say at this point, wide receiver or offensive line.
29:33
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we liked them uh just a few picks earlier, so I like McAllister from TCU.
29:40
SPEAKER_01: So my my three, I would have it down to would be McAllister.
29:45
SPEAKER_01: And then there's two offensive linemen that I still really like.
29:48
SPEAKER_01: They're for whatever reason, they're just not well liked by this draft uh board.
29:53
SPEAKER_01: But Travis Burke is there, a big offensive tackle from Memphis.
29:58
SPEAKER_01: He's huge, just absolutely huge, and he's mean as can be.
30:02
SPEAKER_01: So two qualities I really like in offensive lineman, and then Michael Morris is still there.
30:06
SPEAKER_00: So I like McAllister a lot.
30:10
SPEAKER_00: Uh, and I'm definitely all in for taking a wide receiver.
30:13
SPEAKER_00: But if you can get a big daddy, you've been pretty banging on the gavel for this guy from Memphis, the offensive line.
30:19
SPEAKER_00: Brandt or Brian, would you be okay with that?
30:21
SPEAKER_00: Hopefully, we're getting somebody in free agency, a rookie free agent.
30:25
SPEAKER_00: We're getting one of these wide receivers.
30:26
SPEAKER_00: Would you be okay with that?
30:27
SPEAKER_02: The uh Burke from uh definitely always lean toward the offense or defensive line.
30:34
SPEAKER_02: So definitely.
30:36
SPEAKER_00: Travis Burke, our final pick from Memphis.
30:38
SPEAKER_00: All right, as you're finishing the draft, we get a grade.
30:41
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna quickly go over this.
30:42
SPEAKER_00: We got number 10, first round pick, Jeremiah Love, running back Notre Dame.
30:47
SPEAKER_00: Second round, D'Angelo Pons, corner, Indiana.
30:50
SPEAKER_00: Third round, Romello Height, Edge slash Tham, Texas Tech, Jalen Kilgore in the fourth round, safety South Carolina.
30:58
SPEAKER_00: Uh, early sixth, Joe Royer, tight end Cincinnati.
31:03
SPEAKER_00: Uh Caden Curry, also in the sixth round, edge Ohio State.
31:06
SPEAKER_00: Red Murdoch, linebacker, Buffalo, and then in the seventh round, and our last pick, Travis Burke, offensive tackle, Memphis.
31:15
SPEAKER_00: What did A2Z Sports give us, Brandt?
31:20
SPEAKER_01: We got a solid B, fellas.
31:22
SPEAKER_01: So let's go.
31:24
SPEAKER_01: I'm really happy about that.
31:26
SPEAKER_01: Surprisingly, they liked our Romello Height and our Caden Curry picks the best.
31:31
SPEAKER_01: Giving them B pluses.
31:33
SPEAKER_01: So surprising to me.
31:36
SPEAKER_01: I personally would give our Jeremiah Love and D'Angelo Pons uh picks the highest grades, but I'm happy, happy all around.
31:45
SPEAKER_01: We got some studs.
31:46
SPEAKER_00: Love that.
31:47
SPEAKER_00: And honestly, I think everybody on this that we draft would make this team.
31:51
SPEAKER_00: Brian, how do you feel about our draft?
31:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's I think it's obvious that A-Z uh values pass rush and believes in the notion of you can't have enough pass rushers while we got B pluses on the two edges we took.
32:05
SPEAKER_02: Um the only grip I have is I think I think Jalen Kilgore is still in the fourth round.
32:11
SPEAKER_02: Uh, I think a C is a little too low for him.
32:14
SPEAKER_02: But I'll let him uh I'll let him surprise everybody with his play on the field.
32:18
SPEAKER_02: And I'm with Brant.
32:19
SPEAKER_02: Uh if you get the best best argue the best player, definitely top three player in the draft at number 10.
32:26
SPEAKER_02: I don't, yeah, I don't think you can play.
32:28
SPEAKER_02: That's an that's an A.
32:29
SPEAKER_02: Jeremiah Love at 10 is an A.
32:32
SPEAKER_02: Guy's probably gonna go top five.
32:34
SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
32:35
SPEAKER_01: So, and I you know, just throwing this out there, and you guys know I'm a UC Homer, but if we get Joe Royer in the sixth round, it's a steal.
32:42
SPEAKER_01: I think he's gonna go, you know, somewhere between three.
32:46
SPEAKER_01: I would be really surprised if he lasted till five, but I think he's going in round three to four.
32:51
SPEAKER_00: Love it.
32:52
SPEAKER_00: I love this draft.
32:54
SPEAKER_00: Red Murdoch, I think, ends up being the fan favorite in camp, knocking heads, and starts getting uh some cries from the fans to get some playing time.
33:04
SPEAKER_00: Uh, really like this draft, guys.
33:06
SPEAKER_00: I like the working together, working through this.
33:09
SPEAKER_00: I'm hoping that our Bengals are doing the exact same in the war room.
33:13
SPEAKER_00: We have one week.
33:14
SPEAKER_00: Get ready, gentlemen.
33:16
SPEAKER_00: It's time to get better.
33:17
SPEAKER_00: Brian, be on the lookout from your care package from uh the Blackburn and Brown family tomorrow.
33:23
SPEAKER_00: It's so kind to them.
33:25
SPEAKER_00: You guys are the best.
33:26
SPEAKER_00: Let's enjoy, enjoy those mock drafts and hood all day.
33:31
SPEAKER_02: Hood all day.
33:32
SPEAKER_02: Hood all day.
