  Speaker 1: If tackle isn't an option and we're looking at tight
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: end in cornerback, do you just automatically go corner because
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: of the value of the position.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think automatic thing. It depends on their board. Ryan,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: You know how that goes the old board?
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Where do we have them ranked? And if you have
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: the tight end ranked higher, why not? I mean, tight
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: end is a quarterback's best friend, right, and you go
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: get another one? My goodness? And in this draft where
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: you're sitting think about it. Dunton Kinkaid might still be
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: sitting there, Michael Mayer could still be sitting there. If
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: you like Luke Musgrave, if you like Sam Laporte, if
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: you like a lot of tight ends in this one.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: That may be the reason some people would say I'd
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: go get the other position because I can come back
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: get a tight.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: End later in a draft that is said to not
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: be deep, right, three four rounds, and that's where the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: impact guys come from. Would you be aggressive this year
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: or would you be looking towards next year and trying
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to stockpile.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I never try to look too far towards next year
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: because I don't know what's gonna happen for me. I
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: don't know where I'm gonna be drafting. I don't know
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: how my season's gonna go.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Le me time.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I've seen one of those articles. Somebody always writes an
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: article when it like for the quarterbacks this year, Well,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: would it be wise to not draft quarterback this year
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and just go get Caleb Williams from USC next year? Well,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: if I knew I was gonna get him, sure, I
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: don't know where I'm gonna be, am I even gonna
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: be in range? Is he gonna be the same guy
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: next year? Is he gonna be thought of as the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: number one guy? Brian? How many times have we seen
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: a guy as a freshman or a sophomore he's the
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: number one guy and by the time he comes out,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: he's going in the seventh round. Now, that's not gonna happen.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Michaeleb was, It's not my point. It's just I don't
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: play for tomorrow. I've worked for today.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: So we started this by talking about the fact that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Jaguars were in unusual territory at twenty four. They've had
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the number one pick the two previous seasons. Let me
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: ask you about those guys. We'll start with Trayvon Walker,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: he had a productive year, but he didn't have that
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: explosive year. What would you expect from him in year two?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I expect to see more of why he was drafted,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: more of those traits developing. Remember he wasn't asked to
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: rush the passer as often at Georgia as other people were,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: so when they were banking on is he has the traits,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: he has the explosives, he has the ability, where's the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: work coming in and when we see it pay off
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: on the field. That's why we don't judge it on
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: one year because remember he was taken for we call
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: it traits eight nutch That was taken because production, even
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: though both of them had but Hutchinson's production was way
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: off the board, and because he had that big year.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: If I say, well you should have, let's wait and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: see and see how it goes. We had the same
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: thing this year with Tyree Wilson and will will Anderson.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Which way you going? Will Anderson's sack numbers are like
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: double Tyree Wilson's in college, but a lot of people
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: like Tyree Wilson.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: The up side when you look at him.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: When you look at him, you're like, I like that
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a lot. So I would expect Walker to make a
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: move in that direction. You know, he's had a full
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: year plan. He'll be asked to go get to quarterback more.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Here's his opportunity.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And then let's finish with a guy who's giving everyone
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: optimism in Jacksonville. And and that's Trevor Lawrence. Year one,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: for reasons that had nothing to do with him, was
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a complete disaster. Two, well, we saw how that one
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: ended up. What do you see from him?
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I just think that when we go back to the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: playoff game and it's halftime and he's had a rough
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: first ask to put it mildly, and the head coach
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: is just like, he's fine, we just got to do this,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: we got to do that, and then it all came together.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I saw a better moment in
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the NFL last year. A coach understanding how to work
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: with his young quarterback what his team needed at that time,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: and then them feeling it from their head coach and
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: it translating. And that's what you saw with that young man.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: He is who we thought he was going to be
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: coming out of school. This year's class, we poke holes
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: in every quarterback. There weren't many. We poked into Trevor Lawrence.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: We thought he's going to be a dude. He's headed
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: towards being a dude.
