- 0:02Speaker 1: We're the forty second hell in the NFL Draft. The
- 0:06Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars select Laviska Chernault, wide receiver Colorado. With the
- 0:13Speaker 1: seventy third pick, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Von Hamilton's nose
- 0:18Speaker 1: tackle Ohio State. Welcome to the Jaguars Draft Daily podcast
- 0:24Speaker 1: presented by your local board dealers j P Shadrick, Bryan Sexton,
- 0:28Speaker 1: John os Or, Ashley Subtle and full team coverage traffic
- 0:32Speaker 1: Update two of the twenty twenty NFL Draft. The Jaguars
- 0:36Speaker 1: have selected Leviscas Chant, the wide receiver from Colorado, and
- 0:40Speaker 1: the defensive tackle Devon Hamilton's from Ohio State. And uh well,
- 0:44Speaker 1: Team Jaguar dot Com, this is We knew it was
- 0:47Speaker 1: gonna be an offensive player of some type, if not
- 0:50Speaker 1: a couple of those today. Let's start with the receiver
- 0:54Speaker 1: from Colorado. We heard from Keeno McCardel Jaguars wide receivers
- 0:58Speaker 1: coach and and and saw his big smile on our
- 1:01Speaker 1: broadcast earlier tonight and John, this is a guy that
- 1:04Speaker 1: they feel can come in and really help this wide receiver.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Cool really quick. Well, it was universal and you expected
- 1:12Speaker 1: for Keenan to like he was ever gonna draft mcken
- 1:14Speaker 1: didn't like him. I was really struck by David Caldwell
- 1:17Speaker 1: and Doug run, especially Caldwell when they talked about this
- 1:20Speaker 1: pick later in the night, about how much they liked
- 1:23Speaker 1: this kid. Uh. They had him as a top as
- 1:26Speaker 1: the top receiver in the draft if it had been
- 1:28Speaker 1: held last year. They think he would have been up
- 1:31Speaker 1: there with Judy and some of the elite guys. So
- 1:34Speaker 1: they believe that this is a guy who should come
- 1:36Speaker 1: in and make a huge impact. Uh. Mark Allen's used
- 1:39Speaker 1: the phrase top ten pick. I don't know if he
- 1:41Speaker 1: was a top ten guy, but this is clearly a
- 1:43Speaker 1: guy the more you listen to Doug and Dave talk
- 1:45Speaker 1: about him that they think can be a special difference
- 1:48Speaker 1: making type player. Which makes sense because this was such
- 1:50Speaker 1: a deep wide receiver draft and you take a guy
- 1:52Speaker 1: number forty two. They don't put first round or round
- 1:56Speaker 1: grades on players. But Dave said, hey, this is a
- 1:59Speaker 1: guy that we would absolutely been fine with taking in
- 2:01Speaker 1: the first round. It's supposed to be a big time
- 2:02Speaker 1: player for him. Well, look, if you go back to
- 2:04Speaker 1: last year JP and look at some of the two
- 2:08Speaker 1: early drafts for right right after the twenty nineteen draft,
- 2:12Speaker 1: they started talking about kids. Yeah, I've looked at a
- 2:17Speaker 1: couple of them myself. Sad to say, you have to
- 2:19Speaker 1: wean yourself off this whole mock draft thing. You know
- 2:22Speaker 1: what I mean, You can't just go cold. Turkey Channel's
- 2:25Speaker 1: name was there very near the top. And I'm not
- 2:27Speaker 1: talking about wide receivers. Are talking about the entire draft.
- 2:30Speaker 1: I mean, this was a guy as a sophomore in
- 2:33Speaker 1: eighteen that had six receiving touchdowns and five rushing touchdowns
- 2:37Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve Conference. He ran rough shod over
- 2:41Speaker 1: some pretty good defenses. So he's big two and thirty pounds.
- 2:47Speaker 1: He's faster than what he ran at four point five eight.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I think you had the core muscle injury that he
- 2:53Speaker 1: had repaired. Um, But more than that, he's a guy
- 2:56Speaker 1: in the middle of the field that plays fearlessly. He's
- 3:00Speaker 1: fun to watch with the ball in his hands. I
- 3:02Speaker 1: really liked it when Mark Allen's told us earlier in
- 3:04Speaker 1: the evening they use him on those jet screens. That
- 3:07Speaker 1: tells you they think he plays faster than four five ages. So,
- 3:10Speaker 1: I mean, this is just a guy who's been very
- 3:12Speaker 1: well thought of. It to me, epitomizes the depth of
- 3:14Speaker 1: the wide receiver class that Lavisca Chennauld, who was thought
- 3:18Speaker 1: to be a top top pick before this season began
- 3:22Speaker 1: college football season began, was there for him at forty two, Ashlyn,
- 3:27Speaker 1: You talked to this guy one on one our website
- 3:30Speaker 1: a little earlier today. What do you make of him?
- 3:33Speaker 1: What do you what do you think of him? Very
- 3:36Speaker 1: confident guy. Absolutely when as soon as we started talking,
- 3:38Speaker 1: he was telling me all about how his mom started
- 3:40Speaker 1: freaking out, how he had quiet her down when the
- 3:42Speaker 1: phone call rang, and that she was definitely the big
- 3:45Speaker 1: proponent in the household. But the thing that stood out
- 3:47Speaker 1: was definitely his confidence. And he made sure to let
- 3:50Speaker 1: me know that it wasn't cockiness, it was confidence. He
- 3:53Speaker 1: said that he compares himself to a Jarvis Landry, Julio
- 3:56Speaker 1: Jones and Larry Fitzgerald combination, So quite the combination there,
- 4:01Speaker 1: and said that you know, he's a Swiss army knife,
- 4:03Speaker 1: can do a multiple of things. Doesn't just want to
- 4:05Speaker 1: be labeled as a wide receiver, wants to be labeled
- 4:08Speaker 1: as a football player. We talked all off season about
- 4:12Speaker 1: the tight end and they need to improve it. They
- 4:14Speaker 1: have a drafted one, but you do get the idea
- 4:17Speaker 1: that this guy can play that sort of role. Maybe
- 4:21Speaker 1: you shouldn't lock him into a position. Will he be
- 4:24Speaker 1: a true tight end on the depth chart, Maybe not,
- 4:26Speaker 1: but it certainly sounds like he can do that and
- 4:30Speaker 1: and give you sort of a staying aid across the
- 4:32Speaker 1: note that they've been lacking so at the tight end,
- 4:36Speaker 1: I think primarily because there weren't really any worthy of going.
- 4:39Speaker 1: It certainly sounds like he can play that role. You know,
- 4:41Speaker 1: one tight end went off the board in the first
- 4:43Speaker 1: two rounds, Cold Comet from Notre Dame, and now just
- 4:47Speaker 1: at the bottom of the third round, we're starting to
- 4:49Speaker 1: see some of these guys kind of take off. So
- 4:51Speaker 1: it's not a it's not a great year for that position,
- 4:55Speaker 1: and the Jaguars haven't addressed it, but that's something that
- 4:57Speaker 1: they could look at tomorrow see what happens. We'll I
- 5:01Speaker 1: get to tomorrow and just a little bit, let's continue
- 5:03Speaker 1: with today to Von Hamilton's defensive tackle Ohio State. He
- 5:08Speaker 1: was not a highly regarded prospect out of high school,
- 5:11Speaker 1: but then he worked his way into a role with
- 5:13Speaker 1: the buck Eyes, and then last year took off and
- 5:16Speaker 1: had a fantastic run, and now all of a sudden,
- 5:18Speaker 1: he's a top eighty draft pick, a seventy third pick
- 5:22Speaker 1: in this draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. And it continued
- 5:25Speaker 1: that threat we heard from Doug Morole after and we've
- 5:28Speaker 1: heard it throw him all off season. They have to
- 5:30Speaker 1: stop the run. This is another step in that direction, John,
- 5:34Speaker 1: and just continue as the narrative this whole offseason. It
- 5:37Speaker 1: really is. And you wondered where they were gonna start
- 5:40Speaker 1: that process that differ than even jack I thought they
- 5:42Speaker 1: were gonna take Deary Brown yesterday they didn't get a
- 5:43Speaker 1: chance to um. So it certainly looks with Chase on
- 5:48Speaker 1: last night and Showbert and now did and and now
- 5:52Speaker 1: Hamilton's Mark Allen said about Hamilton's struck me that him
- 5:58Speaker 1: coming along and starting as a rag shirt seenior for
- 6:00Speaker 1: the first time shows you how dedicated he remains. A
- 6:03Speaker 1: lot of guys come in if they don't play the
- 6:04Speaker 1: first couple of years, they get down, they're not still
- 6:07Speaker 1: striving to make themselves better. I think it's in keeping
- 6:10Speaker 1: with this whole thing that they didn't want any bad
- 6:12Speaker 1: guys in this draft. If this kid has stayed true
- 6:16Speaker 1: and keeps on working in football. He clearly still wants it.
- 6:20Speaker 1: He clear the kind of guy they want. It certainly
- 6:22Speaker 1: sounds like everybody they have drafted fits that my senses.
- 6:26Speaker 1: That's gonna be the major theme out of this draft
- 6:30Speaker 1: is this was a character based journey. You know, um
- 6:33Speaker 1: Rare is the high uh sexy pick of a defensive
- 6:39Speaker 1: tackle who's primarily a run game guy. You know, I mean,
- 6:42Speaker 1: Derek Brown stands out. He's not known as a pass rusher,
- 6:45Speaker 1: such a dynamic athlete that you know, a top athlete
- 6:48Speaker 1: went in the top ten. Um. This guy is not
- 6:51Speaker 1: Derek Brown obviously, but he's a run stuffing defensive tackle,
- 6:55Speaker 1: and so people are gonna go, man. You know, he's
- 6:59Speaker 1: not the receive either or the running back or the
- 7:01Speaker 1: quarterback or any of those things. Um, but when you look,
- 7:06Speaker 1: it might be one of the most important draft choices
- 7:09Speaker 1: that they have because this looks like the kind of
- 7:11Speaker 1: guy who you can plug in and play true two
- 7:14Speaker 1: gap zero technique or he's not the fast, quick, get
- 7:18Speaker 1: up the field guy. You can line him up in
- 7:19Speaker 1: some gaps though, and he'll do some damage. He's a
- 7:22Speaker 1: powerful man, thirty three reps a pounds. Yeah, he's not
- 7:27Speaker 1: a pocket pushing, gap shooting kind of guy. But he'll
- 7:31Speaker 1: do some damage if he hits. I mean again, you
- 7:35Speaker 1: don't need him to come in and be a star
- 7:37Speaker 1: right away. But if he hits it as a solid
- 7:40Speaker 1: player there for the next two, three or four years,
- 7:42Speaker 1: what a great pick because he has the body, he
- 7:45Speaker 1: has the size against the experience, and he has the
- 7:48Speaker 1: power to really anchor in against the run. The combine
- 7:52Speaker 1: that's shattered territory getting close at least said he couldn't
- 7:56Speaker 1: even do one before this, Poe, that's a lie. I
- 7:58Speaker 1: don't tell anybody, what do you talk about? Right? This
- 8:04Speaker 1: is too much already. But that's okay, Schlynn. What you
- 8:07Speaker 1: heard from him obviously on the on the conference call
- 8:10Speaker 1: on a one on one situation too, And how that
- 8:13Speaker 1: that personality is, how did it come out in that conversation.
- 8:17Speaker 1: I was just texting one of our PR guys, David Wolf,
- 8:20Speaker 1: about the personality because he was on the call with
- 8:22Speaker 1: me and we were outside, we were waiting for the
- 8:24Speaker 1: interview to start, and one of his neighbors I suppose,
- 8:27Speaker 1: was sitting on the sidewalk and she was far enough
- 8:29Speaker 1: away because you could see the shot in this neighbor
- 8:32Speaker 1: was talking all about how she was trying to rent
- 8:33Speaker 1: her house and all these things were like, Lady, this
- 8:36Speaker 1: guy just got drafted in the NFL, the biggest moment
- 8:39Speaker 1: of his life. Not the time to talk about running
- 8:41Speaker 1: a house. So that was my first takeaway from the call. Secondly,
- 8:45Speaker 1: definitely kind of a goofy guy, good personality, kind of
- 8:48Speaker 1: like an Avery Jones type of deal. But the ultimate
- 8:51Speaker 1: perseverance story. He was talking about how far he's come,
- 8:53Speaker 1: I mean, barely a top one thousand recruit out of
- 8:56Speaker 1: high school now drafting in the third round of the NFL.
- 8:59Speaker 1: He said he he's believed that a lot of people didn't,
- 9:02Speaker 1: but definitely an adverse feat that overcame. He said he
- 9:05Speaker 1: would tell kids, always keep fighting, love it. We're back
- 9:09Speaker 1: in a moment and we'll preview the third and final
- 9:12Speaker 1: day of this twenty NFL draft for the Jacksonville Jag Board.

- 9:52Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Jaguars Draft Daily podcast, presented by
- 9:55Speaker 1: your local board Dealers. Well, here we are. We're four
- 9:58Speaker 1: picks in with eight to go, and it's one more
- 10:02Speaker 1: day to go. That's a busy day at the office
- 10:04Speaker 1: coming up on Saturday for this Jacksonville Jaguars organization. As
- 10:09Speaker 1: the most picks they've had all time, And as Dave
- 10:12Speaker 1: and Doug said after the end of the third round
- 10:15Speaker 1: on Friday night, you know, they still have some work
- 10:18Speaker 1: to do obviously, and they have some holes they can fill,
- 10:21Speaker 1: and they can find some players with some talent and
- 10:25Speaker 1: fill some spots. They feel like they can still get
- 10:27Speaker 1: a lot done on Saturday. Yeah, you it, hope. So
- 10:30Speaker 1: with eight picks they have a lot to do. Dave
- 10:32Speaker 1: cobbll just told us they are not done yet. Being aggressive.
- 10:36Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting when we talked about the
- 10:38Speaker 1: lack of trade and I think we all thought there'd
- 10:40Speaker 1: be way more trades than their work. And now we're
- 10:43Speaker 1: thinking we have eight picks tomorrow to cover, and guys,
- 10:45Speaker 1: we were talking about it earlier in the day. I
- 10:47Speaker 1: still can't believe offensive line hasn't been addressed. We were
- 10:50Speaker 1: talking about it two months ago saying, you know, we
- 10:53Speaker 1: thought that that would be addressed in the first round.
- 10:55Speaker 1: That it still hasn't been addressed makes me think that's
- 10:58Speaker 1: gotta be top priority going into tomorrow. Yeah, I mean,
- 11:01Speaker 1: I'm not surprised they didn't pick offensive line. I never
- 11:04Speaker 1: thought they were going that way in the first round
- 11:06Speaker 1: because I believe Dave calble On Dugan running that they
- 11:08Speaker 1: like this line. A lot of people don't, but they do.
- 11:12Speaker 1: So at this point, I don't know that offensive line
- 11:15Speaker 1: is gonna be a priority in round four, if only
- 11:17Speaker 1: because I don't think at this point you're going to
- 11:20Speaker 1: get value there. It's gonna help you this year. And
- 11:24Speaker 1: I think the fourth round tomorrow, I see running back
- 11:27Speaker 1: and you up there, because you don't know what when
- 11:28Speaker 1: it's future is. I think tight end. I think they're
- 11:30Speaker 1: gonna start coming off the board and I think you
- 11:32Speaker 1: can get that move guy there. And you know, I
- 11:35Speaker 1: still think the corner or wide receiver were so deep
- 11:40Speaker 1: in this draft and there's still not deep positions, especially
- 11:44Speaker 1: at cornerback for the Jaguars. It would not surprise me
- 11:47Speaker 1: if if they went corner or defensive back somewhere in
- 11:51Speaker 1: rounds four or five, because I still think they need
- 11:53Speaker 1: guys who can play immediately at those spots. Let me
- 11:57Speaker 1: throw a quarterback into the mix. I mean, here we go, right,
- 12:02Speaker 1: at some point, you gotta take one, don't you. You
- 12:05Speaker 1: you've got Gardner minshow and and and you don't forget competition. Yeah, no,
- 12:14Speaker 1: I'm not trying to dismiss dobbs. Um. You know you've
- 12:17Speaker 1: got three fourth round picks. Give me a quarterback and
- 12:20Speaker 1: tied end in a running back, right, Um? More than that. Look,
- 12:23Speaker 1: they've got eight picks tomorrow, and I'll be interested to
- 12:26Speaker 1: see where they move up and down and how they
- 12:29Speaker 1: convert some of these picks into picks for twenty one,
- 12:34Speaker 1: because well, I've hope they do something. I don't think
- 12:36Speaker 1: because you wants to talk about eight picks tomorrow, Yeah,
- 12:39Speaker 1: I don't think you need eight players. We simply can't
- 12:42Speaker 1: handle that. Right. Let's hope they trade five of them
- 12:46Speaker 1: up for the first take around four. Well, may take
- 12:52Speaker 1: a couple of next year. That might be sung. If
- 12:56Speaker 1: you don't address quarterback this year and you need to
- 12:58Speaker 1: next year, you'll need some ammunition to be able to
- 13:01Speaker 1: to go um more so or not more so. But
- 13:05Speaker 1: as much as the conversation is who they take, it's
- 13:09Speaker 1: the strategy of where they go to get what they
- 13:11Speaker 1: want and how they converted into draft. All right, we'll
- 13:15Speaker 1: find out what happens on Saturday. It's a noon start
- 13:18Speaker 1: for the final rounds of the NFL Draft. Ash and Sullivan,
- 13:22Speaker 1: John Osan, Brian Sexton and I will be back with
- 13:25Speaker 1: coverage all day on Saturday. Let's see what the Jaguars
- 13:30Speaker 1: bring in on the final day of the twenties twenty
- 13:32Speaker 1: NFL Draft. We'll catch you next time on the Jaguars
- 13:34Speaker 1: Draft Daily podcast, presented by your local FOD dealers.
