The Intel With Greg Cosell: Many High Upside OL To Choose From In This Year's NFL Draft · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

0:07
Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome back to the Intel with Greg Cosell here
0:11
Speaker 1: on the inside the Birds platform, and we are continuing
0:14
Speaker 1: to go through the NFL Draft prospects for twenty twenty six.
0:18
Speaker 1: And in this episode, we're gonna talk about the big
0:21
Speaker 1: guys up front, the offensive linemen. We're gonna go guards, tackles, centers,
0:26
Speaker 1: and look, we're gonna adam.
0:28
Speaker 2: Greg.
0:28
Speaker 1: We're gonna really pay attention to a couple of things
0:31
Speaker 1: here because a every offense, every team in the NFL
0:35
Speaker 1: needs offensive lineman. B we do a lot of Eagle stuff.
0:38
Speaker 1: We know that they're gonna look for Eline Johnson's successor,
0:41
Speaker 1: but they're also implementing a new offense. And Greg, as
0:43
Speaker 1: you've mentioned, it seems like everybody is running lately the
0:47
Speaker 1: some style of Shanahan McVeigh type of offense, and sometimes
0:51
Speaker 1: those guys look for more athletic, horizontal lateral agility traits
0:56
Speaker 1: as opposed to what the Eagles have done lately under
1:00
Speaker 1: and they had Jeff Stetlin was big maulers, especially on
1:02
Speaker 1: the inside, not that they weren't good athletes, but they
1:04
Speaker 1: really liked road graders and big mallers. You see, Dickerson's
1:08
Speaker 1: a big guy. You know, Tyler Steam used to be
1:10
Speaker 1: a tackle. Sam Aler was a tackle in college. So
1:14
Speaker 1: we'll see as we go through these guys if you
1:17
Speaker 1: like their athleticism, if it stands out, And I think
1:20
Speaker 1: that's an important thing to look at, because there might
1:23
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a change, especially with the
1:24
Speaker 1: Eagles greg on how they scout their interior offensive lineman
1:29
Speaker 1: and what they're looking for because of their blocking schemes.
1:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think overall, just a sort of a
1:35
Speaker 2: point from the thirty thousand feed view is I think
1:39
Speaker 2: that the game now is so much about third down
1:43
Speaker 2: guys and if you cannot pass, protect one on one
1:47
Speaker 2: on third down, And we used to look at that
1:49
Speaker 2: solely from the tackle position, but it's now more true
1:54
Speaker 2: than ever from the inside position as well, the center
1:57
Speaker 2: and guards. For this reason, you're seeing on third down
2:01
Speaker 2: in this league far more five man fronts, you know.
2:05
Speaker 2: And so when you have a five man front, what
2:08
Speaker 2: is that almost always create for the offense what is
2:11
Speaker 2: called five to zero protection, where each of the offensive
2:15
Speaker 2: linemen is responsible for one on one versus one of
2:19
Speaker 2: those five up first level defenders. So if you cannot
2:25
Speaker 2: pass protect one on one, now at each of the
2:28
Speaker 2: five offensive line positions. It dramatically reduces what an offensive
2:33
Speaker 2: coordinator can do with his playbook on third down. So
2:37
Speaker 2: pass protection has become absolutely critical, and we're talking one
2:41
Speaker 2: on one pass protection. And the other thing that has
2:44
Speaker 2: now really become a factor is and athleticism is a
2:48
Speaker 2: relative term obviously for offensive linemen. You know they're not
2:51
Speaker 2: athletic like a running back or a wide receiver. But
2:54
Speaker 2: but what's what are the what's the college game giving
2:58
Speaker 2: the NFL now at the line linebacker position, athletes. These
3:02
Speaker 2: guys are better athletes than ever before. So in some point,
3:06
Speaker 2: your offensive lineman, while it's wonderful to talk about guards
3:10
Speaker 2: and centers, as a man, he's physical and he's a
3:12
Speaker 2: road grader and as you said, Jeff, he's a maller
3:15
Speaker 2: and there's nothing wrong with that. By the way, we're
3:17
Speaker 2: not saying that's a negative trait. But if you can't
3:20
Speaker 2: climb to the second level at some point and block
3:23
Speaker 2: more and more athletics second level players linebackers, it becomes
3:28
Speaker 2: very hard to really have a good run game in
3:31
Speaker 2: today's NFL. So if you just look at it from
3:34
Speaker 2: a larger perspective, before we talk about individual players. You
3:38
Speaker 2: have to be able to pass protect one oh one,
3:40
Speaker 2: and interior offensive linemen have to be able to climb
3:44
Speaker 2: to the second level and be able to track and
3:47
Speaker 2: block athletic linebackers. You know, those are things that have
3:51
Speaker 2: become kind of a necessity.
3:53
Speaker 3: Right right, Let me have this, Greg, because you know
3:57
Speaker 3: there are a lot of fans looking Let's say it's Cardinals,
4:01
Speaker 3: depending on which fan you are of. You know, your
4:04
Speaker 3: team's looking for a line. We just talked about Eagles.
4:06
Speaker 3: But this is these shows are more for the general
4:08
Speaker 3: public in terms of whatever team you like. So how
4:11
Speaker 3: would you assess your overview? I know you don't do rankings,
4:14
Speaker 3: but how would you assess your overview of this offensive
4:16
Speaker 3: line group as a whole?
4:21
Speaker 2: I mean, you know that gets into another larger point.
4:25
Speaker 2: I think so much depends on team and scheme. I'll
4:28
Speaker 2: give you an example. So, back when the Rams sort
4:33
Speaker 2: of had their first heyday with McVeigh and Todd, Gurley
4:35
Speaker 2: was the feature back for those maybe had what was
4:38
Speaker 2: it three phenomenal years where he looked like the best
4:40
Speaker 2: back in football. He was a great outside zone runner,
4:45
Speaker 2: one of the best in football. So their their offensive
4:49
Speaker 2: line needed to be clearly athletic and be able to
4:53
Speaker 2: move just kind of what Jeff was talking about with
4:55
Speaker 2: what we think the Eagles might be moving somewhat in
4:58
Speaker 2: that direction. You know, we don't know for sure, but
5:00
Speaker 2: it seems so. So now they get Karen Williams. Karen
5:04
Speaker 2: Williams is not an outside zone runner. He's an inside runner.
5:07
Speaker 2: He needs his shoulders square to the line of scrimmage.
5:10
Speaker 2: He can't turn his shoulders to the sideline. He's not
5:13
Speaker 2: a one cut guy. So now what do they run?
5:15
Speaker 2: More and more of they run duo. They ran the
5:18
Speaker 2: highest percentage of duo in the NFL this past season.
5:22
Speaker 2: So what is duo Duo is a little bit more
5:24
Speaker 2: of that mauling element where you with road grater types.
5:28
Speaker 2: So they brought in guys who were more of that
5:31
Speaker 2: type of offensive lineman because it fits their run game,
5:34
Speaker 2: it fits their back So you know, when you say, like,
5:38
Speaker 2: when you look at this offensive line, I think it's
5:41
Speaker 2: like anything, there are guys who are really good at
5:44
Speaker 2: some things and other guys who are you good at
5:46
Speaker 2: some things but need work in other areas. And then
5:49
Speaker 2: it gets down to how teams see them based on
5:52
Speaker 2: their scheme.
5:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, This might be the rare draft where
5:56
Speaker 1: you see a guard off the board before the first tackle,
6:00
Speaker 1: which doesn't happen very often. I don't know if that's
6:03
Speaker 1: definitely gonna happen. But we'll get into Penn State's Vega,
6:06
Speaker 1: who some kuys have told me around the league will
6:09
Speaker 1: not get past twelve or thirteen.
6:10
Speaker 4: He's that good.
6:11
Speaker 1: We'll get Greg's evaluation on him. But the tackles I
6:15
Speaker 1: think are a little bit more raw, and we'll get
6:17
Speaker 1: into that in a second, where that you see a
6:19
Speaker 1: lot of athletic upside, but you're looking this is not
6:22
Speaker 1: the typical draft where usually the top tackle is like
6:25
Speaker 1: a top five guy like the guy the Cardinals shows
6:27
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago at Ohio State or even.
6:30
Speaker 2: Recently you're talking about Para Johnson. Yeah, right right, by
6:34
Speaker 2: the way, is not become that good a player for
6:37
Speaker 2: a number of reasons. We don't need to get it
6:39
Speaker 2: to him. But he's not what he hasn't lived up
6:42
Speaker 2: to that draft ranking.
6:44
Speaker 1: Right, So let's get into these tackles, and there's you know,
6:47
Speaker 1: obviously a guy out of Alabama Greg Caden Proctor might
6:51
Speaker 1: fit into that category where raw, but there's a lot
6:55
Speaker 1: of talent or a lot of upside. I know he
6:57
Speaker 1: had he ran a five something in the forty. People
7:00
Speaker 1: we're excited about because it's.
7:01
Speaker 4: A big dude. But what do you see from Caden
7:03
Speaker 4: Poxter Alabama.
7:05
Speaker 2: I'll answer it this way to start my two if
7:08
Speaker 2: I had to pick favorites, Okay, And again, all this
7:11
Speaker 2: is based on tape study and not the belief that
7:15
Speaker 2: these guys are going to step in and be superstars
7:17
Speaker 2: from day one. So people understand that, you know, because
7:20
Speaker 2: all these guys and Jeff, you nailed it, all these
7:22
Speaker 2: guys are going to need some work, you know. So
7:24
Speaker 2: I don't want people to think, oh, I think these
7:26
Speaker 2: guys are the greatest players I've ever seen. You know,
7:29
Speaker 2: we're not. There's no Joe Thomas in this draft class. Okay,
7:33
Speaker 2: but my two favorite tackles in terms of just being
7:37
Speaker 2: able to one on one pass protect and they'll get
7:40
Speaker 2: better at it as their coach are Proctor and Monroe
7:44
Speaker 2: Freeling from from Georgia. And I actually think Monroe Freeling
7:48
Speaker 2: might you know, And I hate to use these terms
7:50
Speaker 2: because they're just cliches in many ways, but I think
7:53
Speaker 2: he might have the highest upside And I almost cringe
7:55
Speaker 2: when I say terms like that. But you guys know
7:58
Speaker 2: what I mean, you know, and I'm sure people and
8:00
Speaker 2: they know what I mean. But Proctor and I've I've
8:03
Speaker 2: been around him, I've seen him in person, you know,
8:05
Speaker 2: when I've been to the O Line masterminds event that
8:08
Speaker 2: Duke Maniweather and Jess Schwartz you know, do such a
8:10
Speaker 2: great job with and Brandon Thorne, who, by the way,
8:14
Speaker 2: people should try to look at what Brandon Thorn does
8:17
Speaker 2: with offensive lineman. He's as good as there is. But anyway,
8:22
Speaker 2: Proctor is a fascinating guy. First of all, the size,
8:26
Speaker 2: and that's a trait. By the way, he's over six six,
8:29
Speaker 2: he's I think at the combine he was maybe three
8:31
Speaker 2: fifty five or three fifty eight something like that. You know,
8:35
Speaker 2: arm length is fine for that size, and he's got
8:39
Speaker 2: pretty light feet and he can one on one pass protect.
8:42
Speaker 2: He's a hard guy to get around, and so you know,
8:47
Speaker 2: to me, he's and he's a very good run blocker.
8:49
Speaker 2: So to me he's I don't know, and I don't
8:52
Speaker 2: know the person, you know, so I don't go there.
8:54
Speaker 2: You know, I see in mock drafts whatever that means,
8:59
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know what that means. When I
9:01
Speaker 2: see twenty mock drafts and they're all different, I don't
9:03
Speaker 2: know what that means. But I know in mock drafts
9:06
Speaker 2: he's not high. So I don't know if there's a
9:09
Speaker 2: problem with the person, the commitment. I don't know any
9:11
Speaker 2: of that, but just in terms of what he brings
9:14
Speaker 2: as a physical specimen, and some of his past protection
9:19
Speaker 2: reps are just pristine because his feet are pretty light.
9:23
Speaker 2: He's got a great kick slide. I mean, he just
9:25
Speaker 2: looks really, really good.
9:27
Speaker 3: You see him greg with the ability to play right
9:29
Speaker 3: tackle as all, or just you like him at left.
9:31
Speaker 2: I would keep him at left tackle. I mean, to me,
9:34
Speaker 2: I would not move him at all. I think he's
9:36
Speaker 2: a left tackle. But then you have Monroe Freeling, and
9:40
Speaker 2: Freeling was a guy to me. I mean, he's got
9:43
Speaker 2: perfect size and build for the position, long arms, a
9:47
Speaker 2: long limb frame that can probably add mass as he matures.
9:51
Speaker 2: I have heard that he's a great, great kid from
9:54
Speaker 2: you know, I've spoken to a line coaches in the league,
9:57
Speaker 2: you know, and I know you guys do the same thing.
10:00
Speaker 2: But this guys is to me again, will he need work?
10:06
Speaker 2: Of course, some people might look at him and say
10:09
Speaker 2: he's a little high cut, which sometimes shows up with
10:13
Speaker 2: a little bit of stiffness at times. Sometimes he's a
10:16
Speaker 2: little upright in his pass pro But you know, I
10:20
Speaker 2: think he'll need to get a better feel for speed
10:22
Speaker 2: to power because he'll see more of that in the NFL. Again,
10:25
Speaker 2: not that he can't do it, but he's going to
10:26
Speaker 2: need to just get a better feel for it because
10:28
Speaker 2: he's going to face it more. But I mean, this guy,
10:32
Speaker 2: to me just looks like a left tackle. So those
10:35
Speaker 2: two players, to me would be at the top of
10:38
Speaker 2: my list at the left tackle position and at the
10:41
Speaker 2: tackle position overall.
10:42
Speaker 1: Where do they fall under as far as experience, as
10:46
Speaker 1: far as how many starts they've had in college, there's
10:49
Speaker 1: one more than the other.
10:51
Speaker 2: Is only a one year starter, you know, So he's
10:55
Speaker 2: you know, he was see again, he stayed at Georgia
10:59
Speaker 2: because he came out South Carolina as a big time
11:01
Speaker 2: five star prospect and he became a full time starter
11:05
Speaker 2: at Georgia just this past season. So you know, he's
11:09
Speaker 2: he'll need to be coached and he'll need work, There's
11:12
Speaker 2: no question about it. Proctor has a lot of experience.
11:15
Speaker 2: He's been a starter for quite some time. So you know,
11:17
Speaker 2: he's a guy that you know in the SEC has
11:20
Speaker 2: meaningful experience, which again doesn't mean he doesn't need work,
11:23
Speaker 2: but he's played a lot more games.
11:25
Speaker 4: He's from Des Moines. He didn't start off in Iowa,
11:27
Speaker 4: did he.
11:28
Speaker 2: Well, he transferred to Iowa and then never played there
11:32
Speaker 2: and then came back to Alabama. But you're right, you're
11:35
Speaker 2: right he is from Iowa. That's one hundred percent right.
11:38
Speaker 4: And we know that out there.
11:40
Speaker 2: He's a fascinating guy because if he if he's committed
11:44
Speaker 2: and he's coachable and all those good things about the person,
11:47
Speaker 2: which you know comes back to a discussion I had
11:49
Speaker 2: with the GM at the combine that they look at
11:51
Speaker 2: the tape and the person. If he's all good as
11:54
Speaker 2: a person, he has a chance to be a really
11:56
Speaker 2: good player.
11:57
Speaker 3: I mean, and Freelan has what you can't teach is
12:00
Speaker 3: you talk about a trait seventy three aces massive and that's.
12:04
Speaker 2: And he's a very easy move. I mean, look like
12:07
Speaker 2: I said, he's not Joe Thomas, but he's an easy mover.
12:10
Speaker 2: He's a very easy athlete. It really happens.
12:15
Speaker 3: But we got two kids from Utah Spencer Fino and
12:17
Speaker 3: Caleb Loomo.
12:18
Speaker 2: What can you tell us about them? I would put
12:21
Speaker 2: Lomu he's not as good, but I would put him
12:25
Speaker 2: in the freeling category in terms of his length and
12:28
Speaker 2: the way in which he moves. Like I said, he's
12:31
Speaker 2: not as good, but you know a lot of times
12:32
Speaker 2: when you watch these guys, you do it at every position,
12:34
Speaker 2: or I do, and I know others who I respect
12:36
Speaker 2: do it. You often put guys in a box like, oh,
12:39
Speaker 2: these guys are similar in the way they play. And
12:42
Speaker 2: I think Lomu because he's got really good length too.
12:44
Speaker 2: He's over six six three thirteen arm length is fine,
12:49
Speaker 2: you know, he's he's another guy that has, you know,
12:52
Speaker 2: got that size, that length, that overall athleticism. I mean,
12:56
Speaker 2: he just his good reps. He looks really really good,
13:01
Speaker 2: you know. So sometimes he would play too upright though,
13:04
Speaker 2: and and which sometimes for taller guys can be a problem.
13:08
Speaker 2: And what that does is it negatively impacts your strength
13:10
Speaker 2: and your power and your lateral quickness. So you know,
13:14
Speaker 2: I think that you know, in terms of past pro
13:19
Speaker 2: it's all there. But you know, look, all these guys
13:22
Speaker 2: need to learn strike timing better than it is now,
13:25
Speaker 2: and by strike timing, I mean use of hands. So
13:28
Speaker 2: but I would say Loan Moves a very interesting guy
13:31
Speaker 2: in that regard because of the size and the overall athleticism.
13:36
Speaker 2: And then Fanu Fanu is an interesting guy. And you know,
13:41
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you this making.
13:43
Speaker 4: Question is can he play tackle in the NFL?
13:46
Speaker 2: That is a great question. And I got to tell you,
13:49
Speaker 2: and I actually had a great call with an on
13:52
Speaker 2: line coach and I said this to him and he
13:54
Speaker 2: actually agreed with me one thousand percent. When I finished
13:57
Speaker 2: watching Fanu, I said to myself, this guy's a center.
14:01
Speaker 1: And this is the Isaac Samolo discussion coming when Isaac
14:05
Speaker 1: came out of Oregon State.
14:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yep, go ahead.
14:09
Speaker 2: You know, now, Fanu is a really good player. I
14:12
Speaker 2: mean he's controlled, he's efficient. You know, I think he's
14:16
Speaker 2: technically and fundamentally sound. He plays with really good balance
14:20
Speaker 2: and body control. His arm length is thirty two in
14:24
Speaker 2: an eighth. Okay, now you can get into this debate forever.
14:28
Speaker 2: All I'm going to say is I'll give you an example.
14:31
Speaker 2: Joe Thomas, who obviously knows a little more about tackle
14:34
Speaker 2: play than I do. I heard him talk about Will Campbell,
14:37
Speaker 2: and he thought Will Campbell's problems over the last four
14:40
Speaker 2: or five games of the season were not related to
14:43
Speaker 2: his arm length. I spoke to an on line coach
14:45
Speaker 2: who's been coaching in the league for thirty five years,
14:48
Speaker 2: who said they were absolutely a function of arm length.
14:51
Speaker 2: So you can have these you know, you can have
14:54
Speaker 2: these conversations forever, So you know we're not going to
14:56
Speaker 2: have that. I'm not an on line coach. I'm not
14:58
Speaker 2: an expert on that, but all I know is fine
15:01
Speaker 2: is arm length is not what most O line coaches
15:05
Speaker 2: would want. I believe. I believe counting Campbell, I believe
15:10
Speaker 2: there's only four or five of the sixty four tackles
15:13
Speaker 2: in this league whose arm length is less than thirty
15:16
Speaker 2: three inches. Right. Okay, so that is usually considered a
15:20
Speaker 2: delineating barometer for tackle play. But I finished watching Fano
15:26
Speaker 2: and I thought to myself, this guy's a center, and
15:29
Speaker 2: I think he'd be a great center. But my guess
15:32
Speaker 2: is he'll be drafted as a right tackle and that's
15:35
Speaker 2: where teams will play him. I'll give you one more.
15:38
Speaker 3: His hand size is really small for a tackle. Nine
15:41
Speaker 3: that is really small.
15:43
Speaker 2: I mean everything which I should have mentioned because I
15:45
Speaker 2: noted that too, Adam, thank you. That's a great point.
15:48
Speaker 2: I noted all those things, and I just felt like,
15:50
Speaker 2: this guy's going to be a center.
15:52
Speaker 1: By the way, uh top scorer in the three cone,
15:56
Speaker 1: top scorer in the shuttle, top.
15:57
Speaker 4: Scorer in the forty yard dash. He's a really good athlete.
16:00
Speaker 1: And that almost again invites the idea that you'd probably
16:04
Speaker 1: want him at guard or center in a movement in
16:07
Speaker 1: a Shanahan style offense where you can get this guy
16:11
Speaker 1: out on the perimeter like they did with Kelsey the
16:14
Speaker 1: Eagles did, or like the Shanahan teams do horizontally.
16:17
Speaker 4: You get these guys horizontal. They're fast movers. He can
16:20
Speaker 4: get a am.
16:22
Speaker 2: This now gets down to personal preference. But there's also
16:24
Speaker 2: a lot of Bowl line coaches that like their centers
16:27
Speaker 2: to be long nowadays. Like there's a kid from Florida
16:30
Speaker 2: named Jake Slaughter who's over six', four and you know
16:33
Speaker 2: they like their centers to be. Longer you know a
16:36
Speaker 2: lot of coaches don't want six to one centers now
16:39
Speaker 2: then you could look at the. League see this is
16:41
Speaker 2: why these conversations are. Great AND i love talking to
16:43
Speaker 2: you guys because we just sort of go off on
16:45
Speaker 2: great tangents talking, ball AND i hope the fans appreciate
16:47
Speaker 2: that part of it instead of just a. Cliche, well
16:50
Speaker 2: this guy's, big he's. Strong. Yeah last, year could some
16:53
Speaker 2: people believe the best center in the league Was Aaron
16:55
Speaker 2: brewer From miami who's like six feet and two hundred
16:59
Speaker 2: and seventy five. Pounds so you can be good in
17:02
Speaker 2: many different, ways you, know but you have to decide
17:06
Speaker 2: what you think is the. Best you, know you, Know
17:10
Speaker 2: brewer is an, exception and it goes back to the
17:12
Speaker 2: Old Bill. Parcels you don't want to draft a team of.
17:14
Speaker 2: Exceptions you. Know he just happens to be a really good,
17:17
Speaker 2: player and he had a great. Year but it gets
17:20
Speaker 2: back To fano. BOY i think that everything about his
17:23
Speaker 2: game that he could be an All pro. CENTER i really.
17:25
Speaker 2: DO i can see. It you.
17:27
Speaker 1: Know Isaac samalo came out Of Oregon state and they
17:30
Speaker 1: he had really good, athleticism And adam AND i were
17:33
Speaker 1: told at the, time you, know he played, tackle but
17:35
Speaker 1: don't be surprised if he's a.
17:36
Speaker 4: Guarden maybe even a.
17:37
Speaker 1: Center and it wound up he was on a he
17:39
Speaker 1: played next to A hall Of fame. Center so he
17:43
Speaker 1: stayed at guard and became a really good. One so
17:45
Speaker 1: and who do you do?
17:46
Speaker 4: That just where you get drafted?
17:47
Speaker 2: To who do you just signed? With he's not With pittsburgh?
17:50
Speaker 4: Anymore you're, right he? Did was It? ARIZONA i forget
17:54
Speaker 4: where he signed anywhere?
17:55
Speaker 2: Else?
17:56
Speaker 4: Yeah?
17:57
Speaker 2: Yeah And, Cardinals. Cardinals he's a that's the case of a.
18:00
Speaker 2: Guy he's not gonna Be hall Of, famer, obviously but
18:02
Speaker 2: he's had a really nice. Career he's a really good
18:05
Speaker 2: football player who's going to play twelve thirteen years in
18:08
Speaker 2: the league and had a really, nice nice.
18:10
Speaker 1: Career, Yeah i'm excited about to see what we're BECAUSE
18:13
Speaker 1: i think he's got all the, Tools, greg you, know
18:15
Speaker 1: despite the blacker measurables a, tackle he's got great. Athletics
18:19
Speaker 1: is going to be a, good good guard or, center
18:21
Speaker 1: like you, said in the league for a, while and
18:22
Speaker 1: maybe a right.
18:23
Speaker 4: TACKLE i won't put them.
18:24
Speaker 2: Again you, know some people listening might view my comment
18:26
Speaker 2: as always that's a controversial. Comment you, know it's just
18:29
Speaker 2: evaluating watching a player and then Looking And i'm so
18:32
Speaker 2: Glad adam brought up the hand, size and you, know
18:34
Speaker 2: there's so many factors that go into, this that that
18:36
Speaker 2: coaches look, at you. KNOW i, Mean i've spoken to
18:39
Speaker 2: an online coach who says one of the main things
18:42
Speaker 2: he looks at with the, combine he's not so much
18:44
Speaker 2: interested in the. Drills he looks at how a guy
18:47
Speaker 2: lands when he does the broad, jump because he says
18:49
Speaker 2: that tells him so much about his, balance you. Know,
18:52
Speaker 2: so you, know there's so many factors that go into,
18:55
Speaker 2: this and different people approach this totally, differently and these
18:58
Speaker 2: are not. Mathematical this is not right or. Wrong you,
19:02
Speaker 2: know there's so many variables. Here all, right.
19:06
Speaker 1: Let's let's move on to the kid From Miami greg
19:08
Speaker 1: offensive tackles by the, way.
19:12
Speaker 4: Now we, know, yeah thank You Francis. MALOA i had to.
19:15
Speaker 2: Find that out BECAUSE i Knew i'm GONNA i was
19:16
Speaker 2: gonna have to talk to him a, lot talk about,
19:18
Speaker 2: him AND i you, know the worst thing is WHEN
19:20
Speaker 2: i hear people mispronounced guy's, names AND i always feel
19:22
Speaker 2: like you, should at, least you, know check on.
19:25
Speaker 1: Name, YES i appreciate it because you educated me on.
19:27
Speaker 1: It so That Francis, maloa go, ahead who's you?
19:31
Speaker 2: Know to? Me he's a really good. Player the only
19:35
Speaker 2: concern you would have with, him and again this is
19:38
Speaker 2: not just my, concern BUT i noticed it is he
19:42
Speaker 2: doesn't really have a lot of range because he's a power.
19:45
Speaker 2: Player that's his. GAME i, mean this guy is really.
19:49
Speaker 2: STRONG i, mean is he a good? Athlete, yeah you,
19:52
Speaker 2: know he's not the best athlete at the. Position he's
19:56
Speaker 2: a really good run, blocker has great finishing, traits you, know,
20:00
Speaker 2: competitive just what you. Like he's got heavy. Hands in pass,
20:04
Speaker 2: protection he can really. Anchor he can absorb and control power.
20:08
Speaker 2: Rushes that's kind of his. Game but you, know the
20:12
Speaker 2: one thing that does stand out is he's doesn't have
20:16
Speaker 2: the range you ideally. Like but he's going to play right.
20:20
Speaker 2: Tackle he'll be drafted as a right. Tackle now, again
20:23
Speaker 2: he's another guy THAT i guarantee there'll be SOME o
20:26
Speaker 2: line coaches in the league that will tell you that
20:29
Speaker 2: he'd be better at guard because of the range. Issue
20:32
Speaker 2: but you, know he'll be drafted as a right. Tackle and,
20:35
Speaker 2: again you, know then so much depends on on. Scheme
20:40
Speaker 2: And i'll give you a great. Example, Okay mike. Mclinchy
20:43
Speaker 2: mike mclinchy was with The. Niners mike mclinchy struggled in
20:46
Speaker 2: one on one pass Pro now he goes to the
20:49
Speaker 2: to The broncos as a highly paid free, agent And
20:52
Speaker 2: Sean payton runs an offense where the ball gets out. Quick.
20:56
Speaker 2: OKAY i mean that's the foundation of what he. Does you,
20:59
Speaker 2: know Bo nick's the most passes in THE nfl last
21:01
Speaker 2: year and everything was you, know was. Quick. Okay so
21:05
Speaker 2: mcglinchy's less than great one on one pass protection ability
21:11
Speaker 2: gets camouflaged because he's not doesn't have to pass protect
21:15
Speaker 2: on deep. Drops, now, yeah does it get to be
21:17
Speaker 2: third and, along of, course but that's not foundationally how
21:20
Speaker 2: they play. Offense so so much of this is dependent
21:23
Speaker 2: on team and. Scheme you. Know you Know Mali, NOAH
21:29
Speaker 2: i guarantee he'll go in the league as a right,
21:31
Speaker 2: tackle and then teams will find, out, oh can he play?
21:34
Speaker 2: It yeah in our system he. Can oh, no he
21:37
Speaker 2: can't play it in our. System maybe he's a, guard
21:39
Speaker 2: we won't know. That but he's going to be drafted
21:41
Speaker 2: as a tackle and he is a very good.
21:43
Speaker 1: Prospect can you, explain just for listeners who may not
21:46
Speaker 1: be familiar with the term and how it, applies what
21:49
Speaker 1: range means for an offensive lineman.
21:52
Speaker 2: Yeah range is the ability to move laterally in response
21:56
Speaker 2: to quick movements by a pass. Rusher, so in other,
21:59
Speaker 2: words What Maui noah is really good at is is
22:03
Speaker 2: if a guy just does speed to power and basically
22:05
Speaker 2: works right into, him he's really good at. That he's,
22:08
Speaker 2: strong he's got heavy, hands he can absorb and. Control
22:13
Speaker 2: that's what he. Is he's a power. Player but what
22:17
Speaker 2: he is is he's kind of narrow based in his past,
22:20
Speaker 2: protection you, know with his, body so he stays in the.
22:23
Speaker 2: Cylinder but he doesn't have easy lateral. Movement so if
22:27
Speaker 2: you think of past rushers that sort of attack you
22:32
Speaker 2: into your body and then try it and then work
22:34
Speaker 2: off of, it Like Nick bose is a master at
22:36
Speaker 2: that of sort of attacking you and then working off
22:39
Speaker 2: and Is Maloi noah does not have that quick lateral
22:44
Speaker 2: movement which is rained in order to then respond to
22:48
Speaker 2: that right and in THE, nfl if you start responding
22:50
Speaker 2: to that with your, arms you get called for. Holding
22:54
Speaker 2: so he might struggle.
22:55
Speaker 4: With those bendy edgy Wid, yeah.
22:59
Speaker 2: The guys who kind of go right at him to
23:01
Speaker 2: get him to, set you, know because you want to
23:03
Speaker 2: get him to set with his feet in the ground
23:04
Speaker 2: firm and then off you go off that he's already,
23:08
Speaker 2: set so now he just doesn't have that quick lateral
23:11
Speaker 2: movement to respond to. It not that he's totally incapable doing,
23:16
Speaker 2: that but that's that's not a strength of his. Game good.
23:20
Speaker 3: Stuff the next guy is another, Tackle Max. Ihan not
23:26
Speaker 3: sure is how he pronounce. IT i had to look it.
23:28
Speaker 3: Up he's out Of Arizona. State yet another tackles who's
23:33
Speaker 3: got some.
23:33
Speaker 2: Upside, yeah and he's a guy that hasn't played a
23:36
Speaker 2: ton of, football so he's he's sort of you, know
23:40
Speaker 2: he's going to be thought, OF i think pretty highly
23:42
Speaker 2: as a guy that as you go down the road
23:44
Speaker 2: that people are going to really look at him and, think,
23:47
Speaker 2: oh this guy's going to be interesting. Player he's got
23:49
Speaker 2: really good arm length or ridiculously good. Wingspan another guy
23:54
Speaker 2: that plays. Strong he's got those, heavy active hands in pass.
23:59
Speaker 2: Pro did a really good job of coordinating that with
24:02
Speaker 2: his footwork to stay connected to. Rushers he. Had he
24:06
Speaker 2: was very good at being able to reset himself when
24:10
Speaker 2: he was initially, beat and he had excellent recovery traits
24:13
Speaker 2: and that's SOMETHING i. Learned had a great conversation last
24:16
Speaker 2: year With Bill, callahan WHO'S i think now with The,
24:19
Speaker 2: falcons but obviously considered one of the best to ever do.
24:21
Speaker 2: It and he talked a lot about recovery traits and you,
24:25
Speaker 2: know because, guys, look you, know the past rushers are
24:28
Speaker 2: getting to be better and better, athletes and you you're
24:31
Speaker 2: going to get initially beat sometimes that's just the way it.
24:34
Speaker 2: Is and can you. Recover you, know it's not a beauty,
24:37
Speaker 2: contest it's not a swimsuit. Competition sometimes you don't look
24:41
Speaker 2: great doing. It sometimes you do look, great but sometimes
24:44
Speaker 2: you just got to be able to recover and get
24:46
Speaker 2: back in. Position And max did a really good job
24:50
Speaker 2: With NOTICE i didn't say his last, name And, Max max,
24:53
Speaker 2: did you, know a very good job of doing. That
24:56
Speaker 2: so he's going to be a very interesting guy BECAUSE
24:59
Speaker 2: i think the best is yet to. Come because you,
25:02
Speaker 2: know he was born In. Nigeria he did not begin
25:04
Speaker 2: playing football until twenty twenty. One he was a basketball,
25:08
Speaker 2: player so so he's got you, know there's much to
25:12
Speaker 2: learn for. Him you. Know the biggest question with him
25:16
Speaker 2: is he is somewhat not exactly the, same but somewhat
25:20
Speaker 2: similar to Mamoin noah in that his reactive, quickness even
25:25
Speaker 2: though he recover as, well just generally as an, athlete
25:28
Speaker 2: his reactive quickness is probably not exactly what you. Want but,
25:32
Speaker 2: AGAIN i think he'll be drafted as a.
25:34
Speaker 3: Tackle the only issue with him is it's odd as
25:37
Speaker 3: long as he is his hand size or size nine is.
25:40
Speaker 2: Small, yeah that's. Crazy but about his you, know his
25:43
Speaker 2: arm length is almost thirty four inches and his wingsman's.
25:46
Speaker 4: Ridiculous, YEAH i was.
25:48
Speaker 1: THAT i almost like lost it WHEN i saw. That i'm,
25:50
Speaker 1: like how can you have since long arms and short?
25:52
Speaker 4: Ends?
25:52
Speaker 1: Yeah by the, way very good. Athlete this is a
25:56
Speaker 1: guy who is ran the top forty yard dash among
25:59
Speaker 1: tackles one he was second best split one seven three
26:02
Speaker 1: and then third and both abroad and the. Bench so
26:06
Speaker 1: he's got good, athleticism good strength. There and the reason
26:09
Speaker 1: WHY i think you see him mocked to The eagles
26:11
Speaker 1: a lot and all those monk trass is he seems
26:14
Speaker 1: like the perfect guy based on what you, Said greg
26:16
Speaker 1: to if you've got to sit a year and just
26:18
Speaker 1: get a little more seasoning behind a guy Like Lane, johnson,
26:21
Speaker 1: right and then the new coaching staff and, everything.
26:25
Speaker 4: By year, two he could really be.
26:27
Speaker 2: IN i bet that the best football it's ahead of
26:30
Speaker 2: him because learning and he hasn't played a, lot but
26:33
Speaker 2: it's it's it's there in his. Body all, right good.
26:37
Speaker 1: Stuff let's talk about the guards, Here greg and, obviously
26:42
Speaker 1: uh the guy From Penn. STATE i almost feel like
26:44
Speaker 1: his year got overshadowed Because Penn state just wasn't a
26:47
Speaker 1: very good.
26:48
Speaker 4: Team and it didn't even hit me until after the
26:50
Speaker 4: year that how Good vega has.
26:53
Speaker 1: Gotten Vegue, IONE i won't even try to pronounce the full.
26:55
Speaker 1: Fourth you want to do what you, can but they
26:57
Speaker 1: call him Veague. Ione but give us what you.
26:59
Speaker 2: See, YEAH i think you're dealing, with you, know a
27:02
Speaker 2: guy that's just a solid, player and in most areas
27:07
Speaker 2: he's not a great. Athlete he's a plus, athlete you,
27:11
Speaker 2: Know AND i THINK i think you know, overall you,
27:14
Speaker 2: know he has really good hand. Usage he can, mirror
27:17
Speaker 2: he can, redirect he has good lateral. Movement at, times
27:20
Speaker 2: he was dominant in one on one pass. Protection we
27:23
Speaker 2: spoke about that, early that that's. Essential but a couple
27:27
Speaker 2: of things did stand out that need to be you,
27:29
Speaker 2: know worked. On every once in a, while he would
27:32
Speaker 2: lose control of the rep in one on one pass,
27:34
Speaker 2: protection especially when he was playing against a quick dtackle
27:38
Speaker 2: and obviously he'll be doing that in THE. Nfl but
27:41
Speaker 2: you really love just the, physicality the competitive. Toughness you.
27:47
Speaker 2: KNOW i think as a run, BLOCKER i think that
27:49
Speaker 2: he's he's, really really. Good he's a powerful run. BLOCKER
27:53
Speaker 2: i think he's got core and lower body. Strength you,
27:56
Speaker 2: know he's one of those guys the term we use
27:58
Speaker 2: he creates displacement on driving base. Blocks he was especially
28:02
Speaker 2: effective on combination, blocks where there are times he just
28:05
Speaker 2: obliterated the you, know defensive. Tackles you, KNOW i think
28:09
Speaker 2: you're talking about a guy, that to me is a,
28:12
Speaker 2: solid solid. Player you, know a couple of, things you,
28:15
Speaker 2: know AS i, said need to be worked. On BUT
28:18
Speaker 2: i think, overall you, know he's probably a guy you
28:21
Speaker 2: could you, KNOW i hate to use his, term but
28:23
Speaker 2: you hear it a. Lot he's probably a plug and play.
28:25
Speaker 2: Player AND i, think you, know you'll be. OKAY i
28:27
Speaker 2: don't think you'll look at him and, think, oh we
28:29
Speaker 2: got to get better at that. POSITION i think he'll,
28:31
Speaker 2: be you, know a guy he'll start from day one
28:32
Speaker 2: and be.
28:33
Speaker 1: Good, yeah he has some impressively violent blocks on tape
28:37
Speaker 1: where he just rag dolls a.
28:38
Speaker 4: Few guys in the run.
28:39
Speaker 1: Game he reminds me of what an Old eagles interior
28:42
Speaker 1: offensive lineman would have looked, like just a, big hulking
28:46
Speaker 1: guy who can just move.
28:47
Speaker 4: People would you say he's a people, Mover, Greg.
28:50
Speaker 2: Yes he can be for? Sure, Yes, Yes, no He's
28:54
Speaker 2: he's one of those. Guys, again Unless i'm totally, wrong
28:57
Speaker 2: and it, doesn't it seems like others, agree and you,
29:00
Speaker 2: know people THAT i think we all. RESPECT i think
29:02
Speaker 2: he's one of those guys that's just going to be
29:04
Speaker 2: a good. Player whether he's you, know an all, pro you, know,
29:07
Speaker 2: unbelievable those are hard questions to, answer you, know BUT
29:11
Speaker 2: i THINK i think he'll be a good football. Player you,
29:14
Speaker 2: know he's got a lot of experience and he's a good.
29:17
Speaker 2: Player you, know there's there's not a lot in his
29:19
Speaker 2: game that you, go oh my, god that's just something
29:21
Speaker 2: that is a big.
29:22
Speaker 3: Problem, Sure, greg a guy that played his college ball
29:28
Speaker 3: at college station has Chased. Besontas i've heard a lot
29:31
Speaker 3: Of balthoum offensive line, coach SO i want to make
29:32
Speaker 3: sure we talked about.
29:33
Speaker 2: Him what are your? Thoughts, YEAH i like, HIM i
29:36
Speaker 2: like him a. LOT i would say that he's he's
29:40
Speaker 2: in many ways LIKE i. Own he's really good at
29:43
Speaker 2: pretty much. Everything the only thing that you do worry
29:46
Speaker 2: about a little, bit and it gets back to how
29:48
Speaker 2: we started this conversation is there were just a few
29:51
Speaker 2: too many snaps where he just did not anchor the
29:54
Speaker 2: way you need to anchor in one on one pass.
29:56
Speaker 2: Protection he just could not get his feet set and
29:59
Speaker 2: he just got driven. Back, now not being an offensive line,
30:02
Speaker 2: COACH i don't know if that's a technique. ISSUE i
30:05
Speaker 2: don't know if that's a core strainth. ISSUE i don't
30:08
Speaker 2: know the answer to that. Question i'm not an online,
30:09
Speaker 2: coach BUT i think ideally that can be. Rectified but
30:16
Speaker 2: other than, that you, know look guys who play in THE.
30:19
Speaker 2: SEC i see a ton of because THE sec there's
30:21
Speaker 2: so many, Players So i've probably seen seven or eight
30:24
Speaker 2: games of The. Santis he's another one of those guys
30:27
Speaker 2: that's just a really solid good. PLAYER i would imagine
30:30
Speaker 2: when he'll get draft and he'll likely be a starter
30:33
Speaker 2: pretty much from day. ONE i would think he has
30:35
Speaker 2: that feel to, him but he's that issue in pass.
30:39
Speaker 2: Pro if it's technique, wise it can be, fixed and
30:42
Speaker 2: it's going to have to be. Fixed.
30:44
Speaker 3: Jeff the issue with him, is, yes he's a right
30:47
Speaker 3: tackle in, college but his arms are so short he
30:50
Speaker 3: has to play. Guard he's not playing tackle the next
30:52
Speaker 3: level gat guard at, okay guard, Right but he's got
30:57
Speaker 3: in terms of, Height i'm. Sorry in terms of, height,
30:59
Speaker 3: yeah he's got over six. Five you love, that but
31:03
Speaker 3: his arm length is so. Short there's just no way
31:06
Speaker 3: that he would do. That in, fact he was actually
31:08
Speaker 3: he started at right tackle when he got, there and
31:11
Speaker 3: they would be moving to.
31:11
Speaker 2: Guard, yeah because his arm length is thirty one and three. Quarters,
31:15
Speaker 2: sure that's for, sure, which by the, way is. Bigger
31:18
Speaker 2: that is longer than. Fanos.

Speaker 4: Athletics he's. Got he's pretty. Good his name Is Killan,
33:49
Speaker 4: Ru Georgia.
33:51
Speaker 2: Tech, yeah, GUY i knew nothing about, whatsoever AND i
33:55
Speaker 2: love WHEN i watch guys like. THAT i, MEAN i
33:57
Speaker 2: knew nothing about, him you, know and he's a guard
33:59
Speaker 2: all the. Way you. Know the only thing people might
34:01
Speaker 2: not like is he's not as tall as you might.
34:03
Speaker 2: Like he's six three and five, eighths although on tape
34:06
Speaker 2: he looks, bigger but he's you, know because his arm
34:10
Speaker 2: length is actually his arm leanes is over thirty. Three
34:12
Speaker 2: it's thirty three and an. Eighth BUT i really like this.
34:16
Speaker 2: Guy you. Know we talked about the ability to move
34:19
Speaker 2: up to the second level and block athletic. LINEBACKERS i
34:23
Speaker 2: thought he did that really really. Well and plus they
34:27
Speaker 2: used him quite a bit as a puller in their
34:30
Speaker 2: gap scheme and they're outside guard post. Schemes he's, very
34:33
Speaker 2: very good at. THAT i thought in past protection he
34:37
Speaker 2: had you, know athletic knee bend and. Balance he was
34:41
Speaker 2: able to establish a firm base and stayed. Low he
34:45
Speaker 2: was a basketball player in his, background so he saw
34:47
Speaker 2: kind of the easy lateral. Movement, AGAIN i don't know
34:51
Speaker 2: where guys get. DRAFTED i don't make those, predictions BUT
34:55
Speaker 2: I i really like this player a lot based on his.
34:59
Speaker 4: Tape good athlete, Too greg he.
35:02
Speaker 1: WAS i think he had the second or third best
35:05
Speaker 1: tied for third in the in the ten, Split uh
35:09
Speaker 1: third for third in the broad jump twenty nine on
35:12
Speaker 1: the on the bench was was tied for.
35:14
Speaker 4: Third so he can do a lot of things, athletically you.
35:17
Speaker 2: Know and also he he started his career At Middle
35:21
Speaker 2: Tennessee state and then went To Georgia. Tech and you,
35:24
Speaker 2: know he started forty three games in. College they love.
35:27
Speaker 2: That you, know more than ninety percent came in the right,
35:30
Speaker 2: Guard so he's a right.
35:31
Speaker 1: Guard started his career off At Middle Tennessee, State so
35:34
Speaker 1: he's a he's A, yeah he's.
35:37
Speaker 4: A fighting Read. Blankenship that's what we'll call.
35:39
Speaker 2: Him, Yeah Kevin byard as, well, right that's, Right Kevin,
35:43
Speaker 2: byron that's. Right.
35:44
Speaker 3: Yeah Manuel pregnant Uh gregg is a guy that From
35:50
Speaker 3: margan that a lot of people, like what are your
35:51
Speaker 3: thoughts on?
35:51
Speaker 2: Him? Yeah and he looks the part for. Sure you,
35:55
Speaker 2: know he's he's one of those guys he just if
35:57
Speaker 2: you see, him you go by that guy's a. Guard
35:59
Speaker 2: but you know he's, long you, know it's really big time.
36:04
Speaker 2: WINGSPAN i thought that he was one of those guys
36:08
Speaker 2: that his good plays were really, good like what there
36:11
Speaker 2: were some running plays where he just ate up defensive,
36:15
Speaker 2: TACKLES i, mean you know where he just drove them
36:18
Speaker 2: out of the. GAP i, mean he really really, good
36:22
Speaker 2: and in pass pro there were great examples where he
36:25
Speaker 2: just had powerful strikes with his. Hands so his good
36:28
Speaker 2: plays were really really. GOOD i, mean he did exactly
36:32
Speaker 2: in the run game what they kind of teach, you
36:34
Speaker 2: where he just the leverage where you drive up and
36:37
Speaker 2: through defensive linemen and he looked great doing. It BUT
36:41
Speaker 2: i would say he also had some really bad snaps
36:43
Speaker 2: where he got his body over his feet and just
36:46
Speaker 2: really struggled to sustain. Blocks AND i think there's some
36:50
Speaker 2: stiffness to his overall, movement and he had a tendency
36:53
Speaker 2: to get his base too wide and pass, pro SO
36:56
Speaker 2: i think it's. There you look at him and you, go,
36:58
Speaker 2: wow this guy looks exactly like what a guard should look.
37:02
Speaker 2: Like but you, know there was there were some inconsistencies
37:06
Speaker 2: and in how he. Played but if you could get
37:09
Speaker 2: him to, play you, know with the good plays, MORE
37:12
Speaker 2: i think you'd have something with this.
37:13
Speaker 4: Kid all, right let's finish it off With Jake slaughter.
37:17
Speaker 2: Center, Yeah and LIKE i Mentioned slaughter, earlier because he's
37:21
Speaker 2: he's over sixty four and you know one THING i
37:25
Speaker 2: hear From oline coaches a lot of them like length at,
37:28
Speaker 2: center you, know and again you, know, look we always
37:31
Speaker 2: know that big and good is better than small and.
37:33
Speaker 2: Good you, know that's just pretty much at every, position
37:36
Speaker 2: that's what you really. Like BUT i Think slaughter is
37:41
Speaker 2: is you, know one of those. Guys he's got a
37:43
Speaker 2: lot of length to. Him he's basically six. Five you,
37:47
Speaker 2: know it's odd because of his height that he doesn't
37:50
Speaker 2: have really long, arms but they're fine for a. Center
37:53
Speaker 2: but you, KNOW i think you're dealing with a guy
37:56
Speaker 2: that that you, know he can make those those base
37:59
Speaker 2: and drive in the run, game he moves his feet
38:02
Speaker 2: to sustain you, KNOW i, think, uh, OVERALL i think
38:07
Speaker 2: this guy is a really good. PROSPECT i, mean he
38:09
Speaker 2: can the size gives him better leverage to control those
38:13
Speaker 2: zero and one technique. Dtackles you know we talk about
38:16
Speaker 2: the phrase is snap to step. Quickness he's got that
38:21
Speaker 2: uses his hands. WELL i remember watching him last year
38:24
Speaker 2: the way he just ate Up texas Linebacker Anthony, hill
38:27
Speaker 2: who's probably going to be a top sixty, pick you, know,
38:31
Speaker 2: so and he's he's very, athletic moves exceptionally. Well he
38:35
Speaker 2: can get to that second, level AS i, mentioned because
38:37
Speaker 2: he Blocked. Hill slaughter's a really intriguing. Guy to, me
38:42
Speaker 2: It's i'm gonna be fascinating to see where he's. DRAFTED
38:45
Speaker 2: i would bet that teams that that want their you,
38:50
Speaker 2: know athletic, Alignment. Jeff when you started our conversation with
38:54
Speaker 2: you were talking about The. Eagles BUT i would bet
38:56
Speaker 2: that teams that want an ATHLETIC o line and an athletics,
39:00
Speaker 2: center you, know to fit that kind of, scheme will
39:02
Speaker 2: look very positively At Jake.
39:04
Speaker 1: Slaughter all, Right, Uh Jake slaughter also another, guy uh
39:09
Speaker 1: twenty nine in the bench that was that was number,
39:11
Speaker 1: one so got some good strength and power.
39:14
Speaker 4: There as you were, mentioning.
39:16
Speaker 1: All, right that is it for offensive. Linemen we've done,
39:19
Speaker 1: quarterbacks running, backs wide, receivers tight, ends and we finished
39:22
Speaker 1: off offensive prospects with the offensive. Line that means the
39:26
Speaker 1: next time a year from us we turn the page
39:28
Speaker 1: and get to the defensive prospects for THE nfl. Draft
39:31
Speaker 1: that's gonna do. It and For Greg cosell And Adam,
39:34
Speaker 1: Kaplan I'm Jeff. Mosher you have been watching the intel
39:37
