  Speaker 1: With the twenty third pick in the twenty twenty four
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Brian Thomas Junior.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Jacksonville, man, can't wait to have you, brother.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: YEH appreciate you.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: From Detroit to Douvall. The NFL Draft is in the
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: books for twenty twenty four. The Motor City did an
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: excellent job, by the way, and now the Jaguars have
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: nine new players coming to Jacksonville from this draft Hall
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and welcome into the draft recap show, JP Shadwick, Brian Sexton,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and John Ozer. Plenty coming up. We'll go through all
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the picks, but quickly an overall thought about this class, right, Well.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: They said they wanted to get stronger, they wanted to
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: get bigger, they wanted to get.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Faster, and from top to bottom they did that.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: I would call it workman light. I mean they had
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: a trade up top for a guy that clearly they
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: had targeted out of a few guys, and then after
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: that it was hard to trade this year, so I
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: think they had to grind out a little bit and
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: get spots they wanted. And now they got to develop
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: these guys.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: And let's hear from the guy who pulled it all off,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the general manager of the Jaguars, Trent ball Key with
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Ky Stevens.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: Trent, we talked at the end of the season. You
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: said you wanted to get stronger, more physical, bigger team.
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: Do you feel you were able to do that with
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: this draft class?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
• 1:45
  Speaker 7: You know that was a big focus of ours. You
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: always want to build your team as big, fast, physical
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: as you can and also look at the football intelligence
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: of the group. And we felt really good about the
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: process and really good about the group that we put together.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: Was cornerback something you guys looked at and maybe the
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: first and second round, but then the way the board fell,
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: you ended up going somewhere else or was it a
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: different strategy?
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: We just followed the board. You know, we were prepared
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: to take a corner as high as one and as
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: late as need be. You know, it just it's just
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: how the board played out, you know, played itself out
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: this year. But feel really good about the group that
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: we put together in the positions the need that we had.
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: Feels like there's a lot of guys with some physical intangibles.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: Maybe once you get in the building can kind of
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: coach up and get in your scheme. Is there anyone
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: you're really excited about kind of getting here and working
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: with all of them to be.
• 2:35
  Speaker 7: We wouldn't have picked them if we weren't excited about it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: And just a chance to get him in here, get
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: him in the classroom, get him on the field, get
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: him on.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: The grass, and go to work.
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: And you know, that's all they can ask, That's all
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: we can ask is you know, we tell them when
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: we call them, you know, just give us your best.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Give us the best version of you.
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: And if you do that, we're going to be just fine.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: As you transitioned from maybe the first couple of drafts
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: you did here to now where it's more draft and developed,
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: maybe you don't have to get a starter right way.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: You can work with them a little bit before maybe
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: they're expected to contribute. Does that give you some more
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: flexibility to work.
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: With well, I think that misnomer of getting a starter
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: right away. There just aren't that many guys that come
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: into this league and start from day one, regardless of
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: what round they're picked in, you know, so you try
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: to get guys that have great potential, you know, and
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: obviously you're going to get guys with greater potentials, usually
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: in the earlier rounds and the tapers off from there.
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: There's good players at every level. There's development that needs
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: to take place at every level, and you just, you know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: you just try to get the makeup right. If you
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: get the makeup right, the physical skills should take over.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: When you look at the free agency class and then
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: this draft class, do you feel the rosters where you
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: want them to be at going into training camp?
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: You know, we're always looking, we're always looking to build.
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: You know, we're going to assess everything after we get
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: done with college free agency. Take a look at where
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: we're at on the ninety man, take a look at
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: the needs that we had going into the draft and
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: what we may have coming out of the draft. But
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: you know, the team's not done. We're not done putting
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: this thing together, and you never really are.
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: Thanks Trent, you bet, Thank you, Tip Waalkey with Kay Stevens, Yeah,
• 4:10
  Speaker 8: traits are a big deal, John to a general manager,
• 4:13
  Speaker 8: and obviously later in the draft you look for a
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: certain trade or two, but up top, you gotta have
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: those skill sets to come in.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: Oh. Look, developing a roster for four or five years
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: is always a percentage thing. Some guys mega, some guys don't.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Trent clearly believes in the old Bill Parcells theory, which is,
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: you know, don't draft exceptions because then you've got a
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: team of exceptions. He believes in trades, he believes in speed, size, length.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: It has manifested itself to where this is a bigger, stronger,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: and more physical team than it was four or five
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: years ago. He accomplished that. You know, in this draft,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: what number of these guys make it and are great players?
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure, but over time that's a tried and
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: true approach, Brian.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: But today I go back and I look at his
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: draft class last year was thirteen fourteen players, and I
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: look at these guys, and you do see the trades, right,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: He was looking for Cis speed. They had three guys
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: in this draft that ran sub four three eight forties.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: So I mean, roster building is what these last two
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: drafts have been. And I think you can apply all
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: of his particular characteristics and the things that he holds
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: as important and he's done it. He's done pretty good
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: job with it. The roster has a lot of pieces
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: to work with.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: And the theory there jp is, look every draft has
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: necessari draft has hits if you draft guys with the
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: trades sooner or later, you've got a roster of guys
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: that are fast, strong, and.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Big jars on the shelf.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: You need them. You're gonna pay a quarterback.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: You're gonna have to have guys that you can count
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: on so that you don't have to have the free
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: agent market to count on guys.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: All right, guys, let's dig into it. Let's get into
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the picks, starting on Thursday night with the first round
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: draft picks, after trading back from seventeen, the twenty third
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: pick in the draft. Brian Thomas Junior, the wide receiver
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: from Louisiana State and a speedster four three three forty.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: He can jump out of the gym big numbers. Last
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: year he led all of FBS in touchdown receptions at
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: over eleven hundred yards receiving. He was in Detroit, one
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: of thirteen prospects on the ground in the Motor City,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and you see him in the green room there waiting
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: for that announcement to be made by Roger Goodell, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the celebration went on into the evening. There was an
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: early flight the next day though for Brian Thomas Junior.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: They had to take the private jet down to Jacksonville
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and he arrived on Friday morning visiting with the front
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: office staff. Jaguars owner Shot Con was in attendance, of
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: course and making the rounds. He had lunch with his
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: family at the Miller Electric Center and got his first
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: taste of life as a Jacksonville Jaguar. There's no doubt
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: about it though. After his visit with the media, Brian
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Thomas Junior is ready to get down to business.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Come here, earn the trust as a quarterback, own the
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: trust on my teammates, coaching staff to know, like when
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: opportunity to present this suf I'm gonna go out there
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: and give my give my all, go out there and
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: make the make the play. I would say that was
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: my ext bestations coming in.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: So that's Brian Thomas Jr. And guys, he's I mean,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: he's got it all. He's just speed and height and
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: they can jump and he can run. I was not
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: on the private jet back.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I flew commercial and ran into Cortez Hankton, former Jaguars
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: receiver current LSU offensive coordinator in the airport. Had a
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: nice conversation where he said this is as talent as
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: a kid as.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: He has ever had. He's my guy.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: So you consider the guys that he's coached both at
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: LSU and Georgia, that speaks highly of an SEC receiver.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: He's a playmaker.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, look, sitting where they were, people wanted them to
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: go after a one. You weren't going to get one
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: of the top three guys. This is the guy out
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: of all the all the other guys in this draft
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: who's sitting at twenty three had the most number one
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: receiver traits. He's got to develop those, but he sure
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: has size length stats against production. You know, I don't
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: know how many more boxes you have to check until you.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Like this kid, no doubt. Let's move along, speaking of
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: tecking boxes and trades, on to round number two and
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Mason Smith, a defensive lineman from Louisiana State University in
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Baton Rouge and another big body defensive lineman that can
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: play sixty five three hundred and six pounds put together
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: some big time numbers. And you know he missed two
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: years ago with the knee injury. Guys, but he came
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: back and got better as last season went along.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: A lot of the measurables are the same as Jeffery
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Simmons from Mississippi State and Chris Jones and not the
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Mississippi State guy. He just doesn't have the production because
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: of the knee injury. But he's got the height, he's
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: got the length, he's got the strength that according to
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: people who know him well, he is motivated to be
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: a great player. I kind of like that right there.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: If that's what he's gonna do and he's motivated to
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: do it at the next level, he can hit his potential,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: which is pretty high.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, some analysts liked taking guys in injury history at
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: this point and some guys don't. ACL was his injury. Yeah,
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: young guy, there's no reason to think that any of
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: that stuff will affect him as he goes on. This
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: is the right time to be taking it. He's coming off.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: He'll be two years off that injury when his rookie
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: season starts. You know, everything nowadays with an ACL tells
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: you that he's fine. Once the season starts, he's back
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: at one hundred percent. I don't worry about ACLS two
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: years out for young guys anymore.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Trent says he was one hundred percent at the end
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: of last season.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, it happened Week one two seasons ago.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: So he should be good to go. And he has
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: a connection, of course with the Jaguars coaching staff. Matt House,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the inside linebackers coach here was the defensive coordinator in
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Baton Rugs for a couple of years. But for Smith,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: it has been a long time coming to make the league.
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: I've been dreaming about this since I was sixty years old,
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: my man, So you know, just being able to live
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: that dream out man. And you know, I told my mom,
• 9:57
  Speaker 9: I told her yesterday. I was like, mine is different.
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: When you dream there, you're right in your face. And
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: like I said before, man, I couldn't. I couldn't. When
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: I got that co and the Jacksonville my heart just dropped.
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: I don't think there's a better situation for me to
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: go to, man.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Honestly, from Mason Smith to the defensive secondary and Jarion
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Jones in the third round, this was a position guys
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: that I think the Jaguars fans wanted as early as
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: they could get in this NFL Draft. It comes in
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the third round, it comes out of Florida State, and
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: this is the guy that grew up a Jaguars fan.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a minute. But after the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: draft and after the draft picked, Doug Peterson talked about
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: he could be a nickel, he could be a special
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: teams guy. He is a cornerback and he's now Jaguars well,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: and he's fat.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: He ran a four to three eight forty and played
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: on that great defense last year where he had what
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: three interceptions, here's one of them. Tremendous measurables and a
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: guy who by all accounts loves the game and is
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: a gym rat, the kind of guy you want. If
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: he's gonna come in and have to develop Jones.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: He's got a chance. I mean it's it's Uh. This
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: is the part of the draft where now you start wondering, uh,
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: what he's gonna be and win, Meaning they need somebody
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: to play nickel. You assume the Derby and Tyson are
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: gonna start on the outside.
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: I think he'll compete for the nickel. Other guys will
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: be for the nickel. Is there's still somebody else out
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: there they bring in?
• 11:25
  Speaker 10: Uh?
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: This is at the end of the third round, is
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: where you start wondering how immediate the impact will be.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: I think in the long term, he's a good pick.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Well for Jones, it's not his first love with the Jaguars,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: no doubt.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: So when I growing up, you know, I was a
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: big MAURYE. Jones Drew guy like I was a big
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Maury Jones Drew guy like I was a super fan
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: of him, you know, I was. I watched just about
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I think every game that he played, you know, And
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: when Dalen went there from Florida State, like I was
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: tuned into every game He'll play inside outside, just the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: way he brought, like what you brought to the game.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: You know, I kind of fell in love with the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: jag wat Zalen was there and especially were Mars Jones Drewers.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: They you know.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: So just now me being able to continue that Florida
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: State pipeline and come in and make plays and do
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: what I do based you know, it's a blessing man.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: So the first two days in the books at this
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: point and now on Saturday, and the Jaguars started the
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: day with six picks, there were speculation could they try
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: to move up and get rid of some of those Well,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: they ended up with six players on this Saturday, starting
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: in the fourth round with two picks, one hundred and
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: fourteenth overall offensive tackle Javon Foster from Missouri, and then
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: one hundred and sixteenth overall LSU defensive tackle Jordan and
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Jefferson and guys well, these are two players that will
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: help the depth at the trenches on both sides of
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: the football that we talked about this going into the draft.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: They needed to be stouter in the middle of the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: d line. They needed some depth and a swing tackle.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: This is what will happen on the offensive line.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: The big offensive tackle from Missouri started forty games mostly
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: against SEC competition, and Trent and Doug both alluded to
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: the fact that you know he's gonna come in and
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: have a chance to be the swing guy, and then
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: you really love it again. A team that struggled at
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: times to stop the run to have a guy who's
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: as powerful as Jefferson is thirty four reps at two twenty.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Five, that was pretty barren good. They need it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: They got bigger, they got better.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: On the offensive line.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm hoping at this point, I wish it being
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: going on for a while. I'm glad it started in
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: this year when there was middle rounds, third, second, fourth, fifth,
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: start getting big guys who can see dominant in the
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: trenches and then and then you're not worrying it three
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: or four years about being dominant in the trenches.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: So that was the fourth round haul and now some
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: depth players even further on the fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Quickly through these, starting with olmost cornerback DeAndre Prince out
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: of Charleston, miss Zippi, a town of about two thousand people,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: went up the road to Oxford and now the first
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: ever draft pick from his area of Mississippi. There's been
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: a few undrafted players, he's the first one to come
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: from Charleston. One hundred and sixty seventh overall Texas running
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: back Keelan Robinson, but he was a return specialist as well,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: and now with a need for two kickoff returners, Keelan
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Robinson is set up nicely. We'll see how obviously he
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: acclimates to the NFL. In the sixth round, the Jaguars
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Gode Kicker cam Little out of Arkansas, a guy who
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: was really good from distance in his time in Faaneville
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: and pretty consistent overall, along with fifty six yards in
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: his career and two times named on two different All
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: SEC teams as a kicker and very confident in his
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: post picked visit with the media. And then finally in
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: the seventh round, defensive end Miles Cole out of Texas Tech,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: big and strong and a develop middle player is Trent
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Balke told the media after the draft, and adds to
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: that depth on the defensive line. Head coach Doug Peterson
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: has nine new players and now it's on to the
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: rest of the offseason program and he's with Kay Stevens.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: Thanks JP, Doug. This is your third draft. Now we
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: talked about getting to that draft and developmenttality. How do
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: you feel about the clash.
• 15:23
  Speaker 10: Gap feel really good. You know, it starts at the
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: top obviously with Brian Thomas, and you know all the
• 15:28
  Speaker 10: way down to Miles Cole, you know, and everybody in between.
• 15:31
  Speaker 10: And just explaining to our local media too. You know,
• 15:34
  Speaker 10: a football team's made up of many parts, and in
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: the draft is the same way. And we feel like
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: we've added some really good talent, competition, some depth, and
• 15:42
  Speaker 10: some key spots and looking forward to getting these.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Guys in here.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: You took three guys from LS TOU. You focused a
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: little bit on the defense there. I know you have
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: connections with getting a new defensive staff. Was that kind
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: of a point where you're getting some new players they
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: can work with.
• 15:57
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, one of the things I really have
• 15:59
  Speaker 10: appreciated with and our relationship is how he involves the
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: coaching staff. And so with a new coaching staff with
• 16:04
  Speaker 10: Ryan and getting to know, you know, the guys on
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: defense and their involvement with this draft process, I think
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: Trent felt felt real comfortable with, you know, with some
• 16:12
  Speaker 10: of the ver and some of the you know, like
• 16:14
  Speaker 10: Matt House has worked with some of these guys you
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: know at LSU, and so there's there's there's some connections there,
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: and there's some feedback and and I think the whole
• 16:20
  Speaker 10: process has been really good, and it does help, you know,
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: to have that input from from all the coaches right
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: all the way down to Cam Little or Kicker, you know,
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: with with Heath and Luke talking and going and you know,
• 16:32
  Speaker 10: doing private workouts. So everybody's involvement really helps in the
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: whole process.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: We talked a lot about free agency filling those gaps
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: and then allowing you maybe to take a guy that
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: you can work with before instead of expecting them to
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: step right in to start. Did that help you get
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: some flexibility in those mid rounds.
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: It does. And you also look at special teams too,
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: and you know, you take a guy like Jordan Jefferson,
• 16:55
  Speaker 10: you know, and and who's who's going to be. You know,
• 16:57
  Speaker 10: he's going to be a backup.
• 16:58
  Speaker 9: A role guy.
• 16:58
  Speaker 10: He may not be ready product in September, and hopefully
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: it gives you valuable time, you know, late in the season.
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: We'll see how that plays out, you know, Mason Smith.
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: The same way at Keithan Robinson who is electric with
• 17:09
  Speaker 10: special teams as a returner. And now with the new
• 17:11
  Speaker 10: kickoff rule, we'll see how this thing, you know, plays out.
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: We also got Tank Bigsby I currently on the roster
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: and in Parker, Washington, so it should be a good,
• 17:19
  Speaker 10: good competition. There is that that second returner. But yeah,
• 17:22
  Speaker 10: you look at you look at everything, especially in those
• 17:24
  Speaker 10: mid to late rounds, and I think sometimes the deciding
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: factor can be special teams.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: You're gonna Africky Minichamp come in, get them in the building,
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: anything you're really looking forward to getting them doing or
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: upside on anybody you're.
• 17:37
  Speaker 10: Looking forward to, the biggest thing is to get them,
• 17:39
  Speaker 10: you know, on the fast track and get them, you know,
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: as much as we can in a couple of days
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: caught up with the with the playbook. I know they
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: can carry over the following week and be in with
• 17:48
  Speaker 10: the rest of the football team, but it's a way
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: too to kind of get familiar with the guys and
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: and and show them just how we operate here and
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: and what the expectations are.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Going to be for them.
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: Think you can all right.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Doug Peterson with the Kay Stevens. I guess we'll find
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: out for sure in what three, four, five years, how
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: this class really does. You don't know the true grade
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: until then, but first impressions right away, how they do well.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: They check a lot of boxes, right, And if you
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: stretch this back through the off season, it seems like
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: now at the end of the draft, they have put
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: themselves in a position to be a better football team,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: you know, contract extensions and free agents and draft, they
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: completed their plan to date. Now they've obviously got to
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: go through the off season and workout program JP, They've
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: got to add some undrafted rookies, so they're not completely done.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: But like you said, it's going to take a while
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: to know for sure, but it seems like they checked
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: the boxes.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Ethan Waugh on one of our shows
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: earlier in the day, set it best. Every pick they
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: look to make sure it either made them bigger, stronger,
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: or faster. That's what they wanted to get. Trent said it,
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: you know what, two or three weeks aft for the season,
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: they wanted to get more stout, wanted to get more physical,
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: wanted to be able to control oll you know, the
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: tempo pace, whatever that is of the game. They wanted
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: to be able to take control and I get pushed around.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: They took a receiver and then they set about not
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: getting pushed around and getting better on special teams.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: It was workman light, check the boxes. What do you
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: use them? Yeah, I mean it's a great start. You
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: got a starting receiver most likely maybe you know the
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: top picks you know, can contribute pretty soon, if not
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: right away. And you got some depths observation, good weekend.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: They stayed in the South. The furthest North was was Miszoo.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: And the furthest West was Texas.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: So everything was it. They stayed south.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: And with these mega conferences in college football now, I
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: mean it makes sense the SEC is going to produce
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: a lot of talent. The big ten's going to produce
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: a lot of talent as well, because now it stretches
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: from coast to coast.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Be interesting in future years to see.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: But I just couldn't help but notice these stays.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: Save a lot on the travel budget in their region.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Absolutely all right, well done all weekend guys. Appreciate Jordan,
• 19:56
