Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: Welcome to the twenty twenty sixth Patriots Unfiltered Draft Show.
- 0:08Speaker 1: The New England and Patriots Slide presented by Toyota is
- 0:11Speaker 1: official website for deals by a Toyota dot Com.
- 0:16Speaker 2: All right, welcome to Patriots Unfiltered, our special draft extravaganza.
- 0:21Speaker 2: It's Day three of the NFL Draft and it's Fred Kurge,
- 0:26Speaker 2: Paul Torello, Evan Lazar, Mike do So. We'll be here
- 0:30Speaker 2: for the next two hours at least, at least breaking
- 0:34Speaker 2: down what's going on at most. So, Patriots made three
- 0:40Speaker 2: picks yesterday. We'll go over them again. Right now, the
- 0:44Speaker 2: NFL Draft is getting down to the end of the
- 0:47Speaker 2: fourth round. I think there's two more picks left in
- 0:50Speaker 2: the fourth round and then we're on to the fifth. Yeah, correct,
- 0:54Speaker 2: where the Patriots have a couple picks.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Right, just one one are seventy one right now, one
- 1:00Speaker 3: thirty nine. The Patriots will next select the next schedule
- 1:03Speaker 3: to select at one to seventy one, right right, Yeah.
- 1:05Speaker 4: They still have three six round picks.
- 1:07Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they should happen pretty quick.
- 1:11Speaker 2: I mean one seventy one's package those.
- 1:13Speaker 4: Three six is to get up in the fifth will
- 1:15Speaker 4: go two fifth rounds. Well I was looking at it
- 1:17Speaker 4: last night, the trade value chart as one does, and Welles.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Trying to figure out sure it all added up.
- 1:25Speaker 5: If they did want to.
- 1:26Speaker 4: Give rid of these sixth round picks, dump the picks,
- 1:30Speaker 4: as they say, uh, then maybe you know they they
- 1:33Speaker 4: if they did package two of their sixth round picks
- 1:36Speaker 4: with their fifth round pick, they could have gotten back
- 1:38Speaker 4: into the fourth round. So you know, one of their
- 1:41Speaker 4: sixth round picks would get them to the top of
- 1:43Speaker 4: the fourth of the fifth, maybe the very last pick
- 1:46Speaker 4: of the fourth, top of the fifth, right in this range.
- 1:47Speaker 4: So if they were interested in trading up, they they
- 1:50Speaker 4: could do it right now. So stay tuned.
- 1:53Speaker 5: Okay, that would be great because right now it feels
- 1:55Speaker 5: like you're watching the fray go by a little bit.
- 1:57Speaker 5: Guys going off the big board. Definitely a player.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Definitely feels like this is a top one fifty kind
- 2:03Speaker 4: of draft. Like once you get outside of the top
- 2:05Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty picks, normally it starts to really
- 2:08Speaker 4: fall off a cliff, but in a draft like this,
- 2:10Speaker 4: I'd say it falls even harder.
- 2:12Speaker 2: On my back of the envelope, guys went, Yeah, the
- 2:14Speaker 2: Bills took Juke Bowery alignment from BC should have been
- 2:19Speaker 2: a little closer to.
- 2:20Speaker 3: The front of the envelope then, now, you do you
- 2:22Speaker 3: do expect your back of the envelope guys to all
- 2:25Speaker 3: get drafted?
- 2:25Speaker 2: Right? Not necessarily.
- 2:26Speaker 4: It's my favorite name of.
- 2:27Speaker 5: The draft the Fijians Price Sock. Yes, I liked him,
- 2:31Speaker 5: like a name I should have named taj. This is
- 2:34Speaker 5: a reading in the book, right, it's very biblical. But
- 2:38Speaker 5: you do expect all your back.
- 2:39Speaker 4: Of the envelope guys to get killed, right?
- 2:41Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think they all will. Oh no,
- 2:44Speaker 2: you know.
- 2:45Speaker 3: My two except for the guys that have they had
- 2:47Speaker 3: the red flag, they might not get Jack Velling could
- 2:50Speaker 3: be an undrafted free agent as well as Xavian Surrey Junior.
- 2:54Speaker 5: I mean, you're here today, freend, so maybe you can
- 2:56Speaker 5: make some calls if he doesn't get drafted, you know,
- 2:58Speaker 5: try to talk them some help.
- 3:00Speaker 3: That was one of the talked about last night where
- 3:03Speaker 3: they might miss Mike Rabel's presence is recruiter with the
- 3:07Speaker 3: U d F as like my I mean, Fred, I
- 3:09Speaker 3: think there's an opportunity.
- 3:10Speaker 2: But all kidding aside that that was interesting that Elliott
- 3:14Speaker 2: said that that it would be missed.
- 3:16Speaker 5: I did think that was interesting. That was one of
- 3:17Speaker 5: the things that I thought, you know, usually like the
- 3:19Speaker 5: boards kind of set, I would assume that, you know,
- 3:21Speaker 5: they can kind of pull the trigger. But Mike Rabel
- 3:23Speaker 5: is a great salesman, and you hear all the players
- 3:25Speaker 5: they've already selected respond to him on the phone. Uh,
- 3:29Speaker 5: you know, I love I love what you know Lomu
- 3:30Speaker 5: had to say about, you know, getting to meet him,
- 3:32Speaker 5: and he's a little aggressive, you know, kind of stand
- 3:34Speaker 5: off with him. So that is something I think that
- 3:35Speaker 5: that could hurt a little bit.
- 3:36Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, look.
- 3:38Speaker 4: At Elijah Ponder. You know, they got him as an
- 3:39Speaker 4: undrafted rookie last year and he contributed a lot as
- 3:43Speaker 4: a rookie.
- 3:44Speaker 2: All Right, so you've had a night to sleep on it.
- 3:47Speaker 5: I didn't really sleep Forred. I'm gonna be honest. That
- 3:49Speaker 5: coffee right before the show last night. I'm up on
- 3:51Speaker 5: my I know I was coming to Fred, but you
- 3:54Speaker 5: need to. I'm still ready.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Your day after assessment of the first three picks for
- 4:00Speaker 2: the New England Patriots.
- 4:01Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's there's a lot to like about Rared,
- 4:04Speaker 5: and I mean I think there's a lot comparable to
- 4:06Speaker 5: Lomu and that there is some raw ability there, but
- 4:09Speaker 5: the athleticism again, and you know, I don't always going
- 4:12Speaker 5: back to that, but they've been drafting a lot of
- 4:14Speaker 5: really athletic guys, good size, good link. That was actually
- 4:17Speaker 5: talking to Brian Hory. We're having a Patriots event here,
- 4:20Speaker 5: watch party. Bunch of pups. If you're around the area,
- 4:22Speaker 5: get down there a lot of cute little dogs running around.
- 4:24Speaker 5: But you know, Brian Horry really liked the pick. He
- 4:26Speaker 5: was telling me that, you know, he thinks he's gonna
- 4:28Speaker 5: fit Josh McDaniel's offense.
- 4:29Speaker 4: Really well, but probably needs to get a little.
- 4:32Speaker 5: Stronger, you know, continue to one, continue to grow up,
- 4:35Speaker 5: Kolby Young, is that what you're saying? Going so, yeah,
- 4:38Speaker 5: I I like it. I'm excited to see him coming.
- 4:40Speaker 5: It's exactly the cos there you go.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Could you see the wheels turning? An even points to
- 4:48Speaker 3: the screens. There's another one of Fred's guys, and Fred
- 4:50Speaker 3: looks and you see him thinking, is that one of.
- 4:53Speaker 4: My looks at his domble.
- 4:55Speaker 3: He actually has a back of the envelope, that is,
- 4:57Speaker 3: it's not like a metaphor.
- 4:59Speaker 5: It actually is the back of the envelope.
- 5:01Speaker 4: Real thing and then it cuts. That's one of my guys.
- 5:04Speaker 4: I remember all the guys he said. It's one of
- 5:06Speaker 4: my favorite parts of the draft is hearing what you
- 5:08Speaker 4: guys think. I spend way too much time on this,
- 5:11Speaker 4: so I'm interested to hear it.
- 5:13Speaker 2: I just do a back of the envelope and I'm
- 5:14Speaker 2: more accurate than one hundred percent and.
- 5:17Speaker 4: Nailed only kidding, Yeah, you nailed it.
- 5:19Speaker 5: But I'm I'm excited to see Raredan come into here
- 5:22Speaker 5: and see how he fits in. Wanted that third tight
- 5:25Speaker 5: end you can learn under Hunter Henry. But I think
- 5:27Speaker 5: he's got size, He's got big hands, and I think
- 5:30Speaker 5: that that could be a potential weapon in the red.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Und He could be well, he could be the hidden
- 5:34Speaker 2: gem of this draft for the Patriots.
- 5:37Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think what you're optimistic about with him
- 5:39Speaker 4: because I know a lot of people go back to
- 5:40Speaker 4: the injuries and the tear and then retear of the
- 5:44Speaker 4: same acl but that that happened in twenty twenty one
- 5:47Speaker 4: and twenty twenty two. You know, he played twenty eight
- 5:49Speaker 4: straight games. I'd noted, damn without getting hurt. So hopefully
- 5:53Speaker 4: the injuries are are in his rear view mirror, and
- 5:56Speaker 4: he's beyond that now as a player, and obviously he
- 5:59Speaker 4: had to break out season last year, you know at
- 6:01Speaker 4: Notre Dame, So I maybe I would have picked different
- 6:06Speaker 4: guys in certain spots than they did. But there were
- 6:08Speaker 4: so many different conversations of going tackle, edge, tight end.
- 6:13Speaker 4: With their first three picks, felt like every mock draft
- 6:16Speaker 4: you saw was that combination in some order way, shape
- 6:19Speaker 4: or form. So they they kind of in that respect
- 6:23Speaker 4: wen Chalk and sort of did what we all wanted
- 6:25Speaker 4: them to do and expected them to do. You know,
- 6:28Speaker 4: they took Raridon. You know at the end of the
- 6:30Speaker 4: third round, maybe I would have taken injuries from Texas,
- 6:33Speaker 4: but they took Rridon and like they probably will end
- 6:35Speaker 4: up being right about it. You know, he's probably will
- 6:37Speaker 4: be a better player. So I think in a lot
- 6:39Speaker 4: of different cases they did sort of you can't be
- 6:43Speaker 4: mad at them at all, Like, yeah, because they did
- 6:46Speaker 4: what what we all wanted and expected, and then what
- 6:49Speaker 4: they were saying all off season were the priorities, and
- 6:52Speaker 4: they went out and they attacked them.
- 6:54Speaker 2: So if the aj Brown thing wasn't didn't seem to
- 6:58Speaker 2: be so likely. Do you think one of those three
- 7:02Speaker 2: might have been a wide receiver on more mock drafts
- 7:05Speaker 2: as we got closer to the draft.
- 7:08Speaker 5: Maybe maybe sure, I think we crossed wide receiver. Maybe
- 7:12Speaker 5: not entirely off the list, but I would say the
- 7:13Speaker 5: first two days I crossed it off the list, assuming
- 7:16Speaker 5: it's going to be aj Brown. But keep going back
- 7:19Speaker 5: to the point that they have three guys that are
- 7:21Speaker 5: for contract next year, talking about Booty, they do need
- 7:24Speaker 5: some other guys in the pipeline, so I wouldn't be
- 7:27Speaker 5: surprised here if the right guy falls through the cracks.
- 7:30Speaker 5: Everybody's saying how bad this draft is, Is there really
- 7:32Speaker 5: going to be much of a market for the undrafted guys.
- 7:35Speaker 5: I'd assume that these six and seventh round picks are
- 7:37Speaker 5: essentially going to be the guys who are usually that
- 7:40Speaker 5: quality of player of undrafted.
- 7:41Speaker 3: To the experts that a lot of them have said
- 7:44Speaker 3: stuff like that Day three is going to be a
- 7:47Speaker 3: struggle comparatively. Now, there's going to be good players that
- 7:50Speaker 3: get taken today. You know, there always are There always
- 7:53Speaker 3: are guys, you know, like Pooka Nakula that you know
- 7:55Speaker 3: no one's really paying attention to, and all of a sudden,
- 7:57Speaker 3: three years from now, you go, like, imagine they got
- 7:59Speaker 3: that guy in the fifth round or whatever. You know, Yeah,
- 8:02Speaker 3: there's always, I mean always hidden guys. I'm curious on
- 8:06Speaker 3: on Raridan. Is it rared in or is it just Rearden? Like,
- 8:09Speaker 3: how do we rared in? I think so Okay, So
- 8:14Speaker 3: I'm not ready to just say he's a third tight end.
- 8:17Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm wondering if they're going if they're going
- 8:18Speaker 3: to use two tight end sets. Yeah, I mean, I
- 8:23Speaker 3: I don't think it makes a lot of sense to
- 8:24Speaker 3: have Hill out there with with Hunter Henry. I think
- 8:27Speaker 3: it makes more sense to have this guy out there
- 8:28Speaker 3: with Hunter Henry and have two guys that the defense
- 8:31Speaker 3: necessarily has to pay attention to.
- 8:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I just I would say like tight end is
- 8:37Speaker 4: typically one of the slower developing positions from college to
- 8:40Speaker 4: the NFL. Now, Notre Dame is a good tight end factory,
- 8:44Speaker 4: and they maybe they're guys are a little bit more
- 8:46Speaker 4: pro ready than the average and a college tight end
- 8:49Speaker 4: their college prospect. But most of the time, tight end
- 8:53Speaker 4: is a slower burn when it comes to develop. No,
- 8:55Speaker 4: You're right about it.
- 8:56Speaker 2: So I look at I think.
- 8:57Speaker 4: That Rariden has a potential to have an imp because
- 9:00Speaker 4: of his vertical field stretching ability. That's an element that
- 9:03Speaker 4: Henry and Hill. At this stage of Henry's career, he's
- 9:06Speaker 4: not bringing the down the field threat that Raridan can bring.
- 9:10Speaker 4: So you know, maybe he's one of those guys that,
- 9:13Speaker 4: you know, just like he did last year in college.
- 9:15Speaker 4: You know, he only had thirty two catches, but they
- 9:18Speaker 4: went for fifteen yards of catch, which you know, I
- 9:20Speaker 4: like it, right, So you know, maybe he's only has
- 9:23Speaker 4: twenty catches as a rookie, but he is able to
- 9:27Speaker 4: break off some big plays and make an impact that way.
- 9:29Speaker 4: I would just temper expectations that he's gonna step in
- 9:33Speaker 4: and have like this huge role, No, because that doesn't
- 9:36Speaker 4: really usually happen at tight end unless you draft a
- 9:38Speaker 4: guy like Tyler Warren or something like that.
- 9:40Speaker 5: In the fast I wouldn't expect that.
- 9:42Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just looking ahead to some specific things
- 9:45Speaker 3: that they did with like with Hooper and yeah, and Henry,
- 9:49Speaker 3: and I think that he can, you know, because I
- 9:51Speaker 3: don't think Hooper had a huge role last year. No,
- 9:54Speaker 3: but a couple of touchdowns, yeah, a couple of big
- 9:56Speaker 3: plays like Evan just talked about, And you know, I
- 9:58Speaker 3: think maybe this guy the ability to do that. He's right,
- 10:01Speaker 3: Evan's right about I mean, even with Gronk and Hernandez.
- 10:04Speaker 3: It took Gronk a little bit. You know, we're talking
- 10:07Speaker 3: about one of the best, if not the best, to
- 10:09Speaker 3: ever do it. It took him a little while to
- 10:11Speaker 3: get his feet wet. But it's usually the you know,
- 10:15Speaker 3: balancing the dual responsibilities because you're almost like another off
- 10:18Speaker 3: You're almost like a sixth offensive lineman and you're you know,
- 10:21Speaker 3: like the fourth receiver, you know, at.
- 10:24Speaker 5: The same time.
- 10:25Speaker 3: That's exactly and that's what makes that transition a little
- 10:27Speaker 3: more difficult.
- 10:28Speaker 5: Well that's that's what makes me excited about him because
- 10:30Speaker 5: I kind of made peace with a guy like delp
- 10:33Speaker 5: or maybe he's never gonna be that guy, and that's okay,
- 10:35Speaker 5: that you can find a role for that guy. But
- 10:37Speaker 5: the potential of rot and I, you know, I went
- 10:39Speaker 5: back to my notes of what I wrote about him,
- 10:41Speaker 5: and I, you know, I felt like he had the
- 10:42Speaker 5: desire to block. I think he's maybe a better blocker
- 10:44Speaker 5: than some people are getting him credit for. But I
- 10:47Speaker 5: think you can also get stronger and tougher and to
- 10:50Speaker 5: develop an all around tight end like that and You've
- 10:53Speaker 5: got the balance in front of him between Hill and
- 10:55Speaker 5: Henry that you know, you don't have to do anything.
- 10:58Speaker 2: An intriguing potential.
- 11:00Speaker 5: It's exactly what I wanted of We can just it's
- 11:02Speaker 5: when I said to Hoyer, I'm like, Josh can kind
- 11:04Speaker 5: of play with this kid a little bit. There's no
- 11:05Speaker 5: pressure on him to have to come in and you know, look,
- 11:07Speaker 5: we're gonna let you play, but you better make sure
- 11:09Speaker 5: you're blocking well. You know, if there's not that, it's hey,
- 11:11Speaker 5: this is gonna be a package for you. We feel
- 11:13Speaker 5: like we can take advantage of your size down the
- 11:15Speaker 5: seam and you know, just the catch radius, the size
- 11:17Speaker 5: of the hands that I've been saying it all all
- 11:19Speaker 5: spring appealing to me with Drake May who Drake May like.
- 11:22Speaker 4: That's my favorite part about him as a player, Like
- 11:25Speaker 4: you have nearly eleven in chance, an eighty inch wingspan,
- 11:28Speaker 4: he's six foot.
- 11:29Speaker 5: Six, he likes he's all of six foot six.
- 11:33Speaker 4: You know, he's a seam runner. He runs a lot
- 11:35Speaker 4: of deep crossing routes, he runs a lot of you know,
- 11:38Speaker 4: post corner type concepts, and he's just a big target.
- 11:41Speaker 4: He's a big, big target and you can just see
- 11:44Speaker 4: in your eye, you can just see Drake may just
- 11:46Speaker 4: kind of putting it on the platter for him and
- 11:48Speaker 4: letting him use his size and you know, be a nice, big,
- 11:51Speaker 4: friendly target for him between the numbers. But you know,
- 11:56Speaker 4: I just I look at it as this year. I like,
- 12:00Speaker 4: you get a few big plays out of him, like
- 12:02Speaker 4: I was talking about earlier, with his speed and with
- 12:04Speaker 4: his ability to stretch the field vertically. But really you're
- 12:08Speaker 4: drafting him because Hunter Henry's thirty one years old and
- 12:10Speaker 4: you want a developmental player at that position. You want
- 12:13Speaker 4: to add somebody into the pipeline. With Akis, I think
- 12:18Speaker 4: Agus is going to push for playing time right away.
- 12:20Speaker 4: I think Akis has a chance. And I love Harold Landry.
- 12:23Speaker 4: I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but I think Accus
- 12:26Speaker 4: has a chance to be to surpass Harold Landry immediately
- 12:30Speaker 4: pretty quickly. I agree as a rookie that that picked
- 12:33Speaker 4: you know, Lamu and rare it In feel more like
- 12:36Speaker 4: long term development plays, which is what the draft is for.
- 12:40Speaker 4: Akus feels like the guy that is going to make
- 12:42Speaker 4: the biggest impact on this.
- 12:44Speaker 3: Maybe they can sort of transition Landry to you know,
- 12:48Speaker 3: you know, we talk a lot about Morgan Moses. They
- 12:50Speaker 3: have a plan for him, you know, is coming off
- 12:53Speaker 3: an injury. Maybe that's the.
- 12:54Speaker 5: Plan, you know, get him a bunch of reps, can.
- 12:56Speaker 3: Make him more of a part time player, and let
- 12:59Speaker 3: akin in Draymond Jones be the you know, sort of
- 13:03Speaker 3: the every down you know, edge setting physical uh you know, yeah,
- 13:08Speaker 3: bull rush types as opposed to the speed rush types.
- 13:11Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot to ask for a rookie
- 13:13Speaker 3: second or pick. I'm not putting the cart before the horse,
- 13:15Speaker 3: but potentially I could see something like that. And what
- 13:18Speaker 3: I really like about the offense when you're talking about
- 13:20Speaker 3: all this stuff you guys, is these are some of
- 13:24Speaker 3: the little chess pieces, like you said, Mike, that that
- 13:27Speaker 3: Josh can use with a kid like this, and then
- 13:29Speaker 3: you can go power with what they did in the
- 13:31Speaker 3: off season, you know, like Barah Tucker, you know up
- 13:35Speaker 3: front in front of Reggie Gilliam and Julian Hill. Yeah,
- 13:39Speaker 3: you know, when you want to talk to you guys
- 13:42Speaker 3: at the combine about wanting to be more wanted to
- 13:45Speaker 3: be more physical, wanted to be more consistent running the ball.
- 13:48Speaker 3: We've got to get stronger. Yeah, right, That's what he
- 13:50Speaker 3: said to you guys. Yeah, so now they have the
- 13:52Speaker 3: opportunity to do that.
- 13:53Speaker 2: I've heard of the past though, that sometimes it's hard
- 13:56Speaker 2: to do that for a linemen. It's like you're either
- 13:59Speaker 2: the game plans there were going to fire out and
- 14:01Speaker 2: be running today or or not. And you know, it's
- 14:06Speaker 2: it's tough to make that transition within the game. Yeah,
- 14:10Speaker 2: you know, because it's a different mindset.
- 14:12Speaker 3: Yeah, you could see that.
- 14:14Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see. I also just I was.
- 14:15Speaker 5: Looking back at you know, their rankings in the red
- 14:18Speaker 5: zone last year. I mean, they they peaked kind of
- 14:20Speaker 5: around the middle of the league, but basically they were
- 14:22Speaker 5: below average. I mean, you know, by Baltimore, they're twenty
- 14:25Speaker 5: six in the league in red zone offense. I mean,
- 14:28Speaker 5: I wonder if Riden can help that number two because
- 14:30Speaker 5: that's a place that I don't think they were.
- 14:32Speaker 4: All in his profile that I you know, as I've
- 14:35Speaker 4: dug deeper into the tape, you know, in the last
- 14:38Speaker 4: twelve hours, he only had three career touchdowns at Notre Dame.
- 14:41Speaker 4: He had zero last year, you know, in his big season,
- 14:44Speaker 4: and I was, you know, was it usage?
- 14:46Speaker 5: Was it?
- 14:47Speaker 3: Uh?
- 14:47Speaker 4: You know, they just didn't feature him in the red
- 14:49Speaker 4: zone obviously they had those two running backs and they
- 14:52Speaker 4: kind of just ran the ball in a lot of
- 14:53Speaker 4: the time Jeremiah Love and and Price. But I was
- 14:57Speaker 4: just looking at that and I thought that was weird,
- 14:59Speaker 4: Like this six foot six, big tight end, pass catching
- 15:03Speaker 4: tight end with this huge catch radius and big hands,
- 15:05Speaker 4: and like you'd think that that would be a mismatch
- 15:08Speaker 4: kind of piece that you could use in the red zone.
- 15:10Speaker 4: And they didn't really use him. Interesting and that, but
- 15:13Speaker 4: not that he wasn't on the field, but it just
- 15:14Speaker 4: wasn't He wasn't a featured red zone target. So maybe
- 15:18Speaker 4: there's untapped potential there. Yeah, you know, maybe there's more
- 15:21Speaker 4: there that Notre Dame didn't do with him. You know,
- 15:24Speaker 4: that's part of the translation, you know. I would say
- 15:27Speaker 4: the college game from a passing standpoint, with receivers and
- 15:30Speaker 4: tight end is very different than the pro style game.
- 15:33Speaker 4: And they don't really feature the tight end in college
- 15:36Speaker 4: as like a mismatch weapon like they do in the pros.
- 15:39Speaker 4: They don't move him around as much, they don't hunt
- 15:41Speaker 4: matchups as much with those guys. I'd say Notre Dame
- 15:44Speaker 4: does it more than the average school in college, but
- 15:47Speaker 4: for the most part, it's not. That's not what you're
- 15:50Speaker 4: really trying to get out of that position.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Back to Akis, what did you think about how emotional
- 15:54Speaker 2: he was in his call when he talked of Rabel
- 15:57Speaker 2: and the owner and love it.
- 15:59Speaker 4: I mean that doesn't like he like you just hear
- 16:02Speaker 4: so much about his violence and his physicality. You don't
- 16:05Speaker 4: play like that if you're without emotion, right, like, you know,
- 16:09Speaker 4: like I feel like those two things go hand in hand.
- 16:12Speaker 4: He was a captain at Illinois, like a real leader
- 16:15Speaker 4: of that program. And I feel like you can't be
- 16:19Speaker 4: running through guys faces like he does. If you're not,
- 16:22Speaker 4: you don't have that sort of attitude about you. So,
- 16:25Speaker 4: I mean him and Mike Rabel are like kindred spirit.
- 16:27Speaker 2: It's like he just seemed like really grateful to have
- 16:30Speaker 2: been taken. Yeah, and now that he's been taken, like
- 16:33Speaker 2: he said, you're gonna get everything I can give.
- 16:36Speaker 5: From day, send me the playbooks, send me the playbook.
- 16:38Speaker 4: I wonder if some of that too he lasted, you know,
- 16:41Speaker 4: like for him, you know, there were rumblings that he
- 16:44Speaker 4: was going to be a top forty, top fifty pick
- 16:47Speaker 4: easily when fifty five, so he waited a little bit
- 16:50Speaker 4: longer than maybe he was expecting. So maybe there was
- 16:52Speaker 4: a little bit of relief that you know, he finally
- 16:55Speaker 4: did get drafted as well.
- 16:56Speaker 2: Yeah, gabbitus that's his new names. All right, where are we?
- 17:03Speaker 4: We are picked five of the fifth five.
- 17:07Speaker 2: They hold back. Yeah, this could go a lot faster
- 17:10Speaker 2: if the league wanted it to. Sam hecked about twenty
- 17:13Speaker 2: five twenty five.
- 17:14Speaker 4: There's a handful of centers that have gone in the
- 17:17Speaker 4: last like, you know, twenty picks or so that we're
- 17:21Speaker 4: all the centers that everybody has been talking about. Logan
- 17:24Speaker 4: Jones went super early, but you know, Connor Lao, Sam Hacked, like,
- 17:29Speaker 4: those are the guys that a lot of people are
- 17:31Speaker 4: talking about, is projecting them as starting centers.
- 17:33Speaker 5: You know that I have a lot of the off
- 17:35Speaker 5: the ball linebackers have gone. They have That's that's been
- 17:38Speaker 5: a spot where you know a number of guys Jimmy
- 17:40Speaker 5: Roller from Michigan we talked about. Uh, I don't think
- 17:45Speaker 5: Perkins has gone yet, but you know that's just the
- 17:46Speaker 5: spot we talked about day three. Wer Yeah, Betcher.
- 17:51Speaker 4: Betcher, Yeah. Laws in Deantay Lawson from Alabama has injury
- 17:56Speaker 4: red flags on him. Harold Perkins obviously had the A
- 17:59Speaker 4: C L earlier on in his career at LSU justin Jefferson.
- 18:04Speaker 4: You know, some people liked him Aiden Fisher, My guy's
- 18:06Speaker 4: still there. He was like kind of the last I
- 18:08Speaker 4: was a Betcher Roller Fisher. You know, those are the
- 18:11Speaker 4: three guys I was zooming in on. I like Perkins too,
- 18:14Speaker 4: is just like a fun chess piece if you can
- 18:16Speaker 4: figure him out. I mean, he's such a good athlete.
- 18:18Speaker 4: If you can figure out what to do with him,
- 18:20Speaker 4: then you know you might get a steal there. So
- 18:22Speaker 4: they're looking for the guy that is more consistent and
- 18:26Speaker 4: is just gonna kind of do the Robert Splane dance,
- 18:28Speaker 4: then that's probably like a Fisher if you're looking for
- 18:31Speaker 4: upside and potential than Perkins. Still being there is intriguing.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Bob and Wilmington, North Carolina, writes Senate podcast at Patriots
- 18:39Speaker 2: dot Com. He wants to know what's your favorite round
- 18:42Speaker 2: of the draft?
- 18:44Speaker 5: Second round? First, Well, the second round, because I think
- 18:48Speaker 5: that's where you know. The first round you general generally
- 18:51Speaker 5: know you know how guys are gonna go. But I
- 18:53Speaker 5: think second round gets interesting, and I also think that's
- 18:56Speaker 5: a time where you get a guy who might be
- 18:58Speaker 5: devalued a little bit, but that still maybe they're coming
- 19:01Speaker 5: off a bad year, maybe they had an injury. You
- 19:03Speaker 5: have to take a little bit of a chance on
- 19:05Speaker 5: a guy the first round. I love it, of course,
- 19:08Speaker 5: but a lot of pressure on that player, you know,
- 19:10Speaker 5: and to nail that player for the team. So I
- 19:13Speaker 5: love Day two. I just that second and third round.
- 19:16Speaker 5: Said it last night. That's where the rubber meets the road.
- 19:18Speaker 4: That's the pick.
- 19:18Speaker 5: Still, that's the heart of your draft. You've got to
- 19:20Speaker 5: hit those ones. And you know, and to Paul's point,
- 19:22Speaker 5: the Day three ones, this is where the great teams
- 19:24Speaker 5: find players. This is you know, if you want to
- 19:26Speaker 5: be consistently competitive in the NFL, you've got to find
- 19:29Speaker 5: a couple of players almost every year on Day three.
- 19:32Speaker 5: And that's what that's what the really good teams do.
- 19:33Speaker 5: So you know, Patriots not No. Four fourth round pick.
- 19:36Speaker 5: That's a little bit of a doughnut in their in
- 19:38Speaker 5: their draft class this year. But you know, hopefully they
- 19:41Speaker 5: have somebody here who falls through the cracks. But you know,
- 19:43Speaker 5: to be honest, a lot of the guys that I
- 19:45Speaker 5: love there, they're going fast and furious.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Now, yeah, what's your favorite round.
- 19:48Speaker 4: I would say day two, you know, even the fourth round,
- 19:51Speaker 4: Like I think that's where you separate the men from
- 19:53Speaker 4: the boys. Like everybody can draft in the first round,
- 19:55Speaker 4: like if you're especially if you're high in the first round.
- 19:58Speaker 4: You know, I look even at the Patriots, like you know,
- 20:02Speaker 4: Drake May and Will Campbell, like you know, those guys
- 20:04Speaker 4: are guys that are consensus great players, great prospects.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Uh, you know, but you know, not everyone you know.
- 20:12Speaker 3: And there's a lot of misses, right, And I think
- 20:14Speaker 3: you get that. It's so exacerbated when you missed there,
- 20:17Speaker 3: you know what I mean because of what Ever's saying, Like,
- 20:19Speaker 3: these are the guys that everybody has rated, and if
- 20:22Speaker 3: you miss some one of those, you know, there's a
- 20:25Speaker 3: laundry list of offensive tackles that have missed in the
- 20:27Speaker 3: first round over the last five years.
- 20:29Speaker 2: You paid a big price the draft high in the
- 20:31Speaker 2: first round, whether it's because you suck or you traded
- 20:34Speaker 2: a lot of acids to get there. Miss.
- 20:38Speaker 4: I just think the killer the real hardcore scouting is
- 20:42Speaker 4: yesterday and today, right, Like, and the guys that I
- 20:45Speaker 4: think the best teams, like Deuce was saying, are the
- 20:47Speaker 4: ones that find the diamonds in the rough. You know,
- 20:49Speaker 4: Paul mentioned Nikua earlier on the show. You know, the
- 20:52Speaker 4: Patriots like you going back to it drafting Craig Woodson
- 20:55Speaker 4: in the fourth round. You know, like that that sort
- 20:57Speaker 4: of those sort of picks are huge. I mean that
- 21:00Speaker 4: that's if.
- 21:01Speaker 5: You're asking me what's more impressive? You know what's harder?
- 21:03Speaker 3: Absolutely, you know when you're getting those Day two and
- 21:06Speaker 3: Day three picks. When the when when all the consensus
- 21:09Speaker 3: talent is gone? Because in the first round you're picking
- 21:12Speaker 3: from consensus talented players. But now you've got to figure
- 21:16Speaker 3: out the intangibles. You know, who has you know, the desire,
- 21:19Speaker 3: you know who's who's in what what what player is
- 21:23Speaker 3: important enough? And then who fits in your system and
- 21:25Speaker 3: stuff like that, what's what's the better fit? Yeah, I
- 21:28Speaker 3: just think first rounders the difference makers. Yeah, and that's why.
- 21:33Speaker 4: Most of the time.
- 21:34Speaker 5: But then I gravitate the talent.
- 21:36Speaker 4: Most, Like if you're gonna throw Trey Lance at me,
- 21:38Speaker 4: like I can throw Fred Warner at you, like you know,
- 21:41Speaker 4: like there's guys like that that go you know later
- 21:44Speaker 4: in the draft to the.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Only reason I threw Trey Lance. You said it was
- 21:48Speaker 2: easy to draft the first well.
- 21:51Speaker 5: It's pretty easy. There's more.
- 21:54Speaker 3: I would argue there's more Round one busts than there
- 21:57Speaker 3: are Day three Fred Warner I was.
- 21:59Speaker 5: Going to say, it's hard not to draft in the
- 22:01Speaker 5: first round. It's hard not to draft the guy. And
- 22:03Speaker 5: I wonder in some of these teams if it becomes
- 22:05Speaker 5: kind of group thinking. It's you look at these mock
- 22:07Speaker 5: drafts and they say, well, Trey Lance is the fourth quarterback,
- 22:10Speaker 5: and everyone's got that, and do.
- 22:12Speaker 4: We really love them?
- 22:13Speaker 5: Like I don't know, but you know, like I, it's
- 22:15Speaker 5: hard because these guys get slotted and you know, you're
- 22:18Speaker 5: they're supposed to go there.
- 22:19Speaker 4: But go back five years, look at the.
- 22:20Speaker 5: First round, Paul's there's a handful of complete miss It's going.
- 22:24Speaker 3: To be eight to ten guys that you say, eh, yeah,
- 22:26Speaker 3: he's okay. And you and here's the here's the thing
- 22:29Speaker 3: that happens to and it happens to me all the time.
- 22:32Speaker 3: You know all those names because we're doing we do
- 22:35Speaker 3: this every year, right, so you really remember those thirty
- 22:39Speaker 3: forty names very well, you know, and then you look at,
- 22:42Speaker 3: you know, the round five guys that are getting taken
- 22:45Speaker 3: today right now, you know, a lot of these names
- 22:47Speaker 3: are somewhat familiar to me because you know I but
- 22:51Speaker 3: they'll go right out of my mind if they don't hit.
- 22:53Speaker 4: Yeah, do you know what I mean? Whereas you know
- 22:56Speaker 4: what I would just say, like if you say, you know,
- 23:00Speaker 4: there's I don't know. It's usually like a fifty percent
- 23:02Speaker 4: hit rate in the first round, and then once we
- 23:05Speaker 4: get out of the first round, that drops off a cliff, right, yeah,
- 23:08Speaker 4: and then once we get into Day three that drops
- 23:10Speaker 4: off another play. Sure, So like at least in the
- 23:13Speaker 4: first round, you're you're flipping a coin that you're probably
- 23:15Speaker 4: going to hit on the player, and if you're good
- 23:17Speaker 4: at it, you're in the And.
- 23:19Speaker 3: The miss in the first round is usually not a
- 23:22Speaker 3: guy who's like out of the league, unless you're less
- 23:25Speaker 3: like the Raiders.
- 23:26Speaker 2: At what point in the draft, it's more it's more
- 23:29Speaker 2: it's better to be lucky than good, lucky than good,
- 23:34Speaker 2: you know, like if you're hitting in fifth, sixth, and
- 23:36Speaker 2: seventh round, is that more luck or is it really good?
- 23:39Speaker 5: It's probably a coin flip between those two probably, to
- 23:42Speaker 5: be honest.
- 23:42Speaker 3: Yeah, And I would also say, like I know what
- 23:45Speaker 3: your point is, but like if you do that consistently,
- 23:49Speaker 3: you have a hard time calling.
- 23:50Speaker 2: It luck, right, Yeah, Like, but who the Rams.
- 23:53Speaker 3: Have consistently gotten like really high quality players outside of
- 23:57Speaker 3: the first round, now out of necessity because they gave
- 24:00Speaker 3: away so many of the first round picks, but they
- 24:02Speaker 3: had that that slight up. Then one of the nights
- 24:06Speaker 3: of the draft this weekend, and there was like eight
- 24:08Speaker 3: guys on that board. None of them were first round picks,
- 24:12Speaker 3: you know, and they're all, you know, household names for
- 24:14Speaker 3: everybody who watches Rams games like that, At some point,
- 24:18Speaker 3: it's not luck. Now if you just you know, you
- 24:20Speaker 3: picked Tom Brady in the sixth round, there's an element
- 24:22Speaker 3: of fortune to that. I'm not trying to be silly
- 24:25Speaker 3: about it. But when you get good, when you get
- 24:28Speaker 3: Craig Woodson's yeah, I would say I have a hard
- 24:31Speaker 3: time calling that luck through four.
- 24:34Speaker 4: Like, I'm not talking about the back end of the third.
- 24:37Speaker 4: I don't think they were lucky to get Craig Woodson.
- 24:38Speaker 4: I think they identified something that.
- 24:40Speaker 2: Guy like Julian Edelman, that's that's that's a lot. They
- 24:43Speaker 2: saw something in him because he was it was a quarterback.
- 24:46Speaker 2: They knew he wasn't going to be a quarterback.
- 24:48Speaker 3: Ye, Bill had no idea and he is. He's admitted
- 24:50Speaker 3: it as much. He had no idea what he wanted
- 24:52Speaker 3: to do.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Some yeahpetitor driving him, we can do something with that.
- 25:01Speaker 5: It's interesting what it is, right, well, I think that's
- 25:03Speaker 5: the feeling in these later rounds is what's the one trait? Like,
- 25:07Speaker 5: is there one trait? Does he have great size? Does
- 25:09Speaker 5: he have great speed? Does he have great quickness? And
- 25:11Speaker 5: then see if we can build around them.
- 25:13Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting. I think that, you know, the Julian
- 25:15Speaker 4: Edelman's are probably trailblazers in this regard. But like you
- 25:18Speaker 4: see so many of these guys when you're doing research
- 25:21Speaker 4: on these players that work quarterbacks and they actually just
- 25:24Speaker 4: make the switch in college now you know, like so yeah, yeah,
- 25:28Speaker 4: so it's no yah Stowers was one of them. It's
- 25:31Speaker 4: no longer the Julian Edelman route of Oh he was
- 25:33Speaker 4: a college quarterback all the way through and then he
- 25:36Speaker 4: becomes a wide receiver. So I bet you you know,
- 25:38Speaker 4: it's probably a little bit to do with Edelman's success
- 25:41Speaker 4: and you know why that happened sooner. But you know,
- 25:43Speaker 4: Jacobe Myers is one of those guys. He started as
- 25:45Speaker 4: a quarterback and then he switched in college to wide receivers,
- 25:48Speaker 4: so you see that lesson less now that they position
- 25:51Speaker 4: switches once you get to the league.
- 25:53Speaker 2: Mike and Brooklyn writes and he wants to talk about
- 25:55Speaker 2: Raret and he says, I've watched every down and game
- 25:57Speaker 2: he played at Notre Dame. Nice, my wife of twelve
- 26:00Speaker 2: is a Notre Dame alumnus, so we don't make plans
- 26:03Speaker 2: on Saturdays in the fall, we watch the Irish. He's
- 26:06Speaker 2: gonna be good. He is too tall to block with
- 26:09Speaker 2: a lot of power, but as a crazy athlete, and
- 26:12Speaker 2: Notre Dame used his speed and lengthy have him get
- 26:15Speaker 2: to key places in the run game. He and Lomu
- 26:18Speaker 2: give them a lot of flexibility in how they can block.
- 26:21Speaker 2: In the run game at Notre Dame, is ranged to
- 26:24Speaker 2: get really wide or to the second third level, helped
- 26:27Speaker 2: spring a ton of big runs for love and price.
- 26:30Speaker 2: With an athlete like Lomu and May being a run
- 26:32Speaker 2: threat and the speed Henderson has, I think they're building
- 26:36Speaker 2: a run game built around space and athleticism, not power,
- 26:40Speaker 2: and it's really exciting. Really want to know what Evan
- 26:43Speaker 2: thinks of this?
- 26:43Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's definitely a lot of good points
- 26:47Speaker 4: I think with Reard and you know his blocking tape,
- 26:49Speaker 4: he's definitely at his best when he can get some
- 26:51Speaker 4: momentum into the blocks, whether it's in space orts up
- 26:54Speaker 4: to the second level, or you know, down blocking on
- 26:56Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, where he's using his athleticism to
- 26:59Speaker 4: like create power. You know, if you ask him to
- 27:02Speaker 4: just sit there and dig out somebody, you know, at
- 27:04Speaker 4: the point of attack, he doesn't really have the raw
- 27:07Speaker 4: strength and the you know, the power to kind of
- 27:09Speaker 4: displace that defender. But if you give him some momentum,
- 27:12Speaker 4: like he was really good at inserting like up through
- 27:15Speaker 4: the middle of the line of scrimmage, up to the
- 27:17Speaker 4: linebackers at the second level and kind of almost like
- 27:19Speaker 4: a full back, you know, leading through the whole, so
- 27:22Speaker 4: to speak. So there was a lot of different movement
- 27:24Speaker 4: blocks that I thought were impressive. And you know, when
- 27:27Speaker 4: we talked to Elliott Wolf yesterday, you know, that's what
- 27:29Speaker 4: he said. He said, they want athletes on the offensive
- 27:32Speaker 4: line that they want to be a little bit more athletic,
- 27:34Speaker 4: and you know, with that is going to probably come
- 27:36Speaker 4: with finesse. You know, like that's just naturally a side
- 27:40Speaker 4: effect of getting guys that are good athletes, but they'll
- 27:45Speaker 4: be fun. I mean, if they they're all of a
- 27:48Speaker 4: sudden a you know, more of like a spread space
- 27:50Speaker 4: team and Drake Mays and the shotgun a lot and
- 27:53Speaker 4: he's surveying and doing his thing like that, that would
- 27:55Speaker 4: be a fun brand of football to watch.
- 27:58Speaker 2: Okay, Anthony and Seattle says, take a.
- 28:00Speaker 3: Lot of excitement out of the draft with that whole
- 28:02Speaker 3: run oriented thing.
- 28:04Speaker 5: Kind of bummed me out a little bit. Why so,
- 28:06Speaker 5: I don't want to be a running team.
- 28:08Speaker 4: They don't want to be a running team. They're drafting
- 28:09Speaker 4: all these athletes because they don't want to move the ball.
- 28:11Speaker 3: I want to score.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I want to move the ball and score.
- 28:15Speaker 3: Mike, how do you score.
- 28:17Speaker 4: To score?
- 28:18Speaker 5: Run to win?
- 28:18Speaker 6: Well?
- 28:19Speaker 4: What was the thing when I asked Elliot Wolf about
- 28:21Speaker 4: the athlete.
- 28:22Speaker 3: I'm being starcastic, everybody.
- 28:23Speaker 4: The number one thing that he said was pass blocking,
- 28:26Speaker 4: because we have a quarterback that's going to drop back
- 28:28Speaker 4: to pass a lot. That was his number one thing.
- 28:31Speaker 4: And then he got into some of the multiplicity in
- 28:33Speaker 4: the run game.
- 28:34Speaker 3: And I understand like Rabel's thing about being more consistent
- 28:38Speaker 3: in the running game with some with some ability to
- 28:40Speaker 3: run when you need to run a little bit more effectively.
- 28:42Speaker 3: I'm all for that, because that's Mike's cliche. Yeah, that's
- 28:46Speaker 3: when you when you run to win, like you throw
- 28:48Speaker 3: the score and you run to win. I know that's
- 28:51Speaker 3: a cliche, but there's a lot of validity to that.
- 28:54Speaker 4: I would just say that where I differentiate with the
- 28:59Speaker 4: blocking element with the tight end position. When you're blocking
- 29:03Speaker 4: out in space and you're blocking up on the move
- 29:06Speaker 4: and you're getting the tight end on linebackers and defensive backs,
- 29:09Speaker 4: like it's cool to watch that, and like there's there's
- 29:12Speaker 4: value to that. That doesn't really make him a blocker
- 29:15Speaker 4: in my opinion, like a a guy that's a blocker
- 29:18Speaker 4: is a guy that puts his hand in the dirt
- 29:19Speaker 4: and can block.
- 29:20Speaker 7: Any more of a guy who gets in the way
- 29:22Speaker 7: and outside linebacker.
- 29:23Speaker 3: You did that for them last year was Mac Hollins.
- 29:26Speaker 3: Yeah right, he was a big time He was really
- 29:29Speaker 3: a slot tight end who blocked for them in those
- 29:31Speaker 3: kinds of situations.
- 29:32Speaker 4: Yeah, And there's nothing I'm not you could do that
- 29:34Speaker 4: saying that it's a bad thing. I'm just saying, you know,
- 29:36Speaker 4: when we start talking about guys that are true blocking
- 29:39Speaker 4: tight ends. I think of the inline guys like Gronk
- 29:41Speaker 4: that had to hand in the dirt, and like Gronk
- 29:43Speaker 4: could take a three hundred and five pound defensive end
- 29:45Speaker 4: and block them. I don't think Raridan is going to
- 29:48Speaker 4: be that kind of guy.
- 29:49Speaker 2: Anthony ciliss I agree with Evan Induced. I think you
- 29:52Speaker 2: can make up for a first round miss with second
- 29:55Speaker 2: and third round hits.
- 29:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. Well, still miss on your first round pick.
- 30:01Speaker 3: You're not getting blue chip talent.
- 30:03Speaker 5: Yeah, that's I mean the exception will be if you
- 30:05Speaker 5: somehow you know, I'm blue chip talent in those second
- 30:07Speaker 5: and I mean you.
- 30:07Speaker 3: Can do that once in a while. But you're not
- 30:09Speaker 3: getting consistent blue chip talent beyond the.
- 30:11Speaker 5: First right, Like maybe the acceptable thing is you got
- 30:13Speaker 5: a solid player, but not you know, but if you
- 30:16Speaker 5: have good players throughout the draft.
- 30:18Speaker 3: But like, there's a reason why when you look back
- 30:22Speaker 3: at the Hall of Fame and you go by round,
- 30:24Speaker 3: there's the reason why they're almost all first round.
- 30:26Speaker 2: Right, sure talent, let's go to the phones eight five five,
- 30:32Speaker 2: pats five hundred, Fred, you.
- 30:34Speaker 3: Lost your chance to get Justin Jefferson. All these years later,
- 30:38Speaker 3: he went back into.
- 30:39Speaker 5: The draft times. Yeah, as a linebacker.
- 30:40Speaker 2: Interesting, Let's go to Dorchester where Butcher's what's up this
- 30:45Speaker 2: Butch turns.
- 30:47Speaker 8: Big guys looking at talk linebacker here. I feel like
- 30:50Speaker 8: every year, even going back to the end of the
- 30:52Speaker 8: Belichick days, we're looking for some solution here at inside linebacker,
- 30:57Speaker 8: and it seems like, you know, these guys are available
- 31:00Speaker 8: around three to five, and they're relatively cheap and free agency,
- 31:04Speaker 8: and we just you know, seem to be putting a
- 31:06Speaker 8: band aid on the situation here instead of you know,
- 31:09Speaker 8: sort of building long term. So we got Splaine and
- 31:12Speaker 8: right now, I'd say Alice is starting next to him,
- 31:15Speaker 8: and I'm not really sold on Ellis. You know, Gibson's gone,
- 31:19Speaker 8: and I actually really liked Gibson for what they asked
- 31:22Speaker 8: him to do. kJ Britt, you know, kind of feels
- 31:25Speaker 8: like an upgrade over Gibson a little, and you know,
- 31:29Speaker 8: I never really thought to buy was was what we needed.
- 31:32Speaker 8: He was a liability and coverage. All signs point towards
- 31:37Speaker 8: the Missouri kid. We'll see if he's there when when
- 31:39Speaker 8: we're up. I kind of like the Byu kid. But
- 31:43Speaker 8: you know, are they starters or do we have to
- 31:45Speaker 8: look to free agency, and you know, Matt Milano's still
- 31:49Speaker 8: out there, maybe a veteran incentive laden deal. We can
- 31:52Speaker 8: cut him if it doesn't work type of thing. You know,
- 31:54Speaker 8: what are we doing in linebacker here?
- 31:56Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, lineback? Is it getting harder and harder to
- 31:59Speaker 2: find good line Well?
- 32:00Speaker 4: I would just say that the position itself as a
- 32:03Speaker 4: whole has been devalued. And when we talked to Elliott
- 32:05Speaker 4: Well before the draft and the pre draft press conference,
- 32:08Speaker 4: he highlighted Day three as a sweet spot in this
- 32:11Speaker 4: particular class for linebackers. So they have five more picks
- 32:14Speaker 4: to make today and I fully expect one of them
- 32:16Speaker 4: at least to be a linebacker. Now, maybe it's not
- 32:19Speaker 4: the value that the caller is looking for in terms
- 32:21Speaker 4: of immediate impact and all that kind of stuff, but
- 32:24Speaker 4: you know, I think that they're looking for linebackers today,
- 32:29Speaker 4: and I'm sure even at one seventy one they might
- 32:32Speaker 4: end up coming out with a linebacker at that bit.
- 32:34Speaker 5: I totally hear the call, though, I mean, it's a
- 32:36Speaker 5: concern of mine. There's only so much you can do
- 32:38Speaker 5: in the draft. There's only so many, you know, talented
- 32:41Speaker 5: pieces that you can get. But you know, if Spain
- 32:43Speaker 5: r Ellis gets hurt. And I mean I like Ellis,
- 32:45Speaker 5: I don't. I'm not in love with Elis. I think
- 32:47Speaker 5: he's okay to holdover. I mean, they wanted to keep
- 32:50Speaker 5: him and he had moments, yeah, but I think ultimately
- 32:53Speaker 5: he's not the kind of game changer, you know, and
- 32:55Speaker 5: Speling's a little older, and it's just when you look
- 32:58Speaker 5: at that, it could be an achilles heel form given
- 33:02Speaker 5: it snaps in a reserve role last year.
- 33:04Speaker 4: I'm not sure. kJ Britt. You know, we'll find out.
- 33:07Speaker 3: I don't know much about I'm not saying that he's
- 33:09Speaker 3: not that, but I'm not He hasn't played that much defense,
- 33:13Speaker 3: so maybe he can come in and do exactly what
- 33:15Speaker 3: Gibbons did or more, and then at least.
- 33:17Speaker 5: You have some depth there.
- 33:18Speaker 3: But I would be surprised if they didn't find, you know,
- 33:21Speaker 3: another piece. What are the guys I mean, but a
- 33:30Speaker 3: kid that got hurt at l s U. Yeah, I
- 33:32Speaker 3: just I wouldn't be opposed to taking a flyer on that.
- 33:35Speaker 4: I'm lying. I I don't like I'm kind of probably
- 33:39Speaker 4: say this all the time about other positions. I do
- 33:41Speaker 4: linebacker on your own time, Well.
- 33:42Speaker 3: That's like you say, this whole thing with like the
- 33:45Speaker 3: position's been devalued. Just go right down to like how
- 33:49Speaker 3: many are on the field. Like when when I started,
- 33:52Speaker 3: when I started doing this, they had four linebackers on
- 33:54Speaker 3: the field at all times. Now that you're lucky if
- 33:56Speaker 3: there's more than two, right, I mean, you need in
- 33:58Speaker 3: my opinion, you need three linebacks. You want one guy
- 34:01Speaker 3: like Robert Spulaane who's kind of your anchor at that position.
- 34:04Speaker 3: You're going to play some standard nickels, so you're going
- 34:07Speaker 3: to have a second linebacker like Ellis playing next to him.
- 34:10Speaker 4: And then you want a super sub like Jack Gibbons.
- 34:12Speaker 4: But even Jack Gibbons was like a spot starter and
- 34:16Speaker 4: really and a special teamer.
- 34:18Speaker 3: Like that is going to have to be a special team, right.
- 34:21Speaker 4: And so like that that role in itself is also
- 34:24Speaker 4: you know, ninety percent kicking game anyways, you know the
- 34:28Speaker 4: sideline the sideline linebacker thing, like on third down, they're
- 34:32Speaker 4: they're going to put an extra defensive back on the
- 34:33Speaker 4: field and you're not going to have that guy in coverage.
- 34:36Speaker 3: Like I know what we concerned I would have is
- 34:38Speaker 3: because Robert Sperlane plays so many plays if something were
- 34:42Speaker 3: to happen you lost him, Yeah.
- 34:43Speaker 2: On the stretch last year made a difference, and.
- 34:45Speaker 3: I and I do think, you know, I do think
- 34:48Speaker 3: Gibbons did a good job of filling in for him,
- 34:50Speaker 3: and I, you know, I don't know that they have
- 34:52Speaker 3: the ability to do that. Yeah, now, you know, maybe
- 34:55Speaker 3: they do. Maybe Britain is that maybe Christian Ellis is
- 34:58Speaker 3: a little bit better this year and second year or
- 35:00Speaker 3: this system.
- 35:01Speaker 4: I still think some of the linebackers that are available
- 35:03Speaker 4: can play. You know, I think, like I said earlier,
- 35:06Speaker 4: this this class was touted as this is the sweet
- 35:10Speaker 4: spot for the linebackers. And that doesn't mean I'm not
- 35:13Speaker 4: saying that as in like they're all it was a
- 35:15Speaker 4: bad year for linebackers. Actually a really deep year for linebackers.
- 35:19Speaker 4: It just you know, they they a lot of them
- 35:21Speaker 4: happened to grade out in like this fourth or fifth
- 35:23Speaker 4: round range. So I still think that there's a lot
- 35:25Speaker 4: of options of guys that they could get that could
- 35:28Speaker 4: at least be that third guy like Jack Gibbons was.
- 35:31Speaker 4: Maybe he's not going to replace Robert Spuline. Maybe they're
- 35:34Speaker 4: they're not doing that quite yet, But I think there's
- 35:36Speaker 4: like four or five guys that you know, I thought
- 35:38Speaker 4: were solid players.
- 35:40Speaker 5: I wonder about the tavaiavit all too, because he never
- 35:42Speaker 5: really seemed to fit entirely what they did. They found
- 35:45Speaker 5: a role for him kind of as a stand up
- 35:47Speaker 5: strong side guy. I mean, they'll stand up Landry, you know,
- 35:49Speaker 5: I'm sure they'll stand up Draymond Jones to make that
- 35:51Speaker 5: third linebacker. But there's no obvious third linebacker right now.
- 35:55Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like Britt is more inside kind
- 35:57Speaker 5: of a guy. Do they even want that position? But
- 36:00Speaker 5: I just I think back two years ago, I thought
- 36:02Speaker 5: that was kind of the poster child for when you
- 36:04Speaker 5: don't have linebackers who can get off blocks or get
- 36:06Speaker 5: around blocks and make plays, and teams are just grinding
- 36:09Speaker 5: you to death. And you paid. You pointed out when
- 36:12Speaker 5: Spolen got hurt like twice, and it was weird.
- 36:14Speaker 3: And that year that you're talking about two years ago,
- 36:16Speaker 3: they were terrible.
- 36:17Speaker 5: Bentley got hurt.
- 36:18Speaker 3: Bentley got hurt, right, yep, And all of a sudden,
- 36:20Speaker 3: that right, and I'm saying, and if something were to
- 36:24Speaker 3: happen to Splaine, I'm not sure that you'd just be okay,
- 36:27Speaker 3: I mean, right, no, me neither.
- 36:28Speaker 5: I mean, he just talks so much about how he
- 36:30Speaker 5: makes everybody right and he's the communicator, and I mean,
- 36:33Speaker 5: don't even talk about the energy that he brings.
- 36:35Speaker 4: But but where were they going to Like, if they
- 36:37Speaker 4: were going to do that, they would have had to
- 36:38Speaker 4: have done it last night.
- 36:39Speaker 3: Yeah, and one of you guys, one of you guys
- 36:42Speaker 3: made the point, like you can't just do everything right now.
- 36:45Speaker 2: I was listening to one of your shows this morning, Paul,
- 36:48Speaker 2: and this is my show, and the kid was, you know,
- 36:52Speaker 2: talking about tackle, saying, you know, he wasn't crazy about
- 36:57Speaker 2: the pick. But you know, last year they went into
- 36:59Speaker 2: the season with no plan. The ste this is the
- 37:03Speaker 2: achilles heel this team. They they don't have a plan.
- 37:07Speaker 2: And as if, like every year you can address every need,
- 37:11Speaker 2: you just can't.
- 37:12Speaker 4: So I'm curious about this. What did he.
- 37:15Speaker 2: Mean, like a plan for tackle?
- 37:17Speaker 5: The plan?
- 37:19Speaker 3: The plan this year was as plan as the nose
- 37:21Speaker 3: in your face. The plan in the draft. Havevn't said
- 37:24Speaker 3: it right at the top of the show. I mean,
- 37:26Speaker 3: you ask any Patriots fan what their top three needs were,
- 37:29Speaker 3: and in some order, it was tackle, edge, tight end. Right, Yeah,
- 37:36Speaker 3: those are the three needs. You know, everybody kind of
- 37:38Speaker 3: assumed they were going to get a J.
- 37:39Speaker 4: Brown. So it was.
- 37:40Speaker 3: Tackle edge tight end and they did it like that's
- 37:44Speaker 3: not a plan.
- 37:45Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going.
- 37:46Speaker 3: To push back on that a little bit. Who said
- 37:48Speaker 3: that who should.
- 37:49Speaker 4: I should I be mad?
- 37:50Speaker 2: Was with Megan Odalini.
- 37:55Speaker 5: He's planted his flag in. I hate this draft.
- 38:00Speaker 3: It's not my station, especially after what they did to
- 38:02Speaker 3: my boy.
- 38:02Speaker 5: That's true and my boy.
- 38:04Speaker 4: So just looking at the linebackers yesterday, because there was
- 38:07Speaker 4: a gap in linebackers, they a bunch of them went
- 38:09Speaker 4: in the second round and then none until today in
- 38:12Speaker 4: the fourth round. So the Patriots took Acis at fifty five,
- 38:17Speaker 4: Anthony Hill Junior went at sixty, and there wasn't another
- 38:20Speaker 4: linebacker taken until the fourth round, So you know, there
- 38:23Speaker 4: was obviously a drop off there. You know, C J. Allen,
- 38:27Speaker 4: Anthony Hill Junior, Gold Day. They all went in the
- 38:30Speaker 4: second round last night, Trotter.
- 38:32Speaker 3: So you've seen a lot of these names go off
- 38:34Speaker 3: today too, Like you know, keishaan Elliott, I saw you.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Was it Eliam?
- 38:40Speaker 4: Yeah? I think Kishan Elliott still available?
- 38:42Speaker 3: Thatcher went he is I think I thought I saw
- 38:44Speaker 3: him go.
- 38:45Speaker 4: No, you saw Kyle Lewis go. Maybe right now, so
- 38:48Speaker 4: far Elims or Kendall Daniels, Betcher Lewis, and Justin Jefferson
- 38:52Speaker 4: have been drafted at linebacker. But we went from pick
- 38:54Speaker 4: twenty six or excuse me, pick yeah twenty eight in
- 38:58Speaker 4: the second round.
- 38:59Speaker 3: Reckon dudes, what great great highlight tape he had. Evan
- 39:03Speaker 3: was giggling, Oh you see that, He's like giggling. It
- 39:07Speaker 3: was like Kean was saying, it's about time you watch
- 39:10Speaker 3: some of these guys.
- 39:11Speaker 5: Seriously, Well, you do us some of them sometime. You
- 39:13Speaker 5: watch these six round picks, right, I mean.
- 39:15Speaker 4: Would you so you had to address that need at linebacker,
- 39:18Speaker 4: and like we all agreed to really addressed address the need, right,
- 39:22Speaker 4: you would have had to have done it at fifty
- 39:24Speaker 4: five last night, and like who would you have rather had,
- 39:27Speaker 4: you know, an off ball linebacker or ais?
- 39:30Speaker 5: Yeah, no, you're totally right, And that's you know, this
- 39:32Speaker 5: is what you have to choose. You have to make
- 39:33Speaker 5: a choice. And there is a little more pressure on
- 39:35Speaker 5: Splaine and Elis to be better.
- 39:37Speaker 3: And I'm not looking to draft a guy. This is
- 39:38Speaker 3: kind of back to our larger point about what's your
- 39:41Speaker 3: favorite round of the job. I'm not looking for a guy, right,
- 39:44Speaker 3: now that can replace Robert Splaine. Yeah, right now. But
- 39:47Speaker 3: it's kind of like what they did with Lomu. I'm
- 39:50Speaker 3: looking for a guy who I think might have the
- 39:52Speaker 3: potential to someday step into a role like that, But
- 39:56Speaker 3: this year I'm going to ask him to be a
- 39:58Speaker 3: core four special team right and provide some depth in
- 40:01Speaker 3: case someone gets banged up. Yep, I'm not asking someone
- 40:05Speaker 3: to go out. I'm not. I'm not drafting someone on
- 40:07Speaker 3: day three that I'm going to ask to replace Robert
- 40:10Speaker 3: Splaine day one. I don't think Robert Splaine, when he
- 40:12Speaker 3: was drafted or when he came into the league was
- 40:14Speaker 3: capable of doing that.
- 40:17Speaker 4: It's just interesting to me, you know, you mentioned the
- 40:19Speaker 4: special teams element because I think some of you know,
- 40:22Speaker 4: these linebackers, like my Guyden Fisher is more of like
- 40:26Speaker 4: he wins with his brain, right, like he's winning with instincts,
- 40:29Speaker 4: He's winning with feel. I don't know if he has
- 40:31Speaker 4: the athleticism necessarily to be like a great player in
- 40:35Speaker 4: the kicking game. But then other guys that are great
- 40:37Speaker 4: athletes might not have his instincts, but they have the
- 40:40Speaker 4: athleticism to play in the kicking game. So if you're
- 40:42Speaker 4: kind of dead set on the guy that you draft
- 40:44Speaker 4: being somebody that plays you know, is like a Core
- 40:47Speaker 4: four special team or like, you know, that might be
- 40:49Speaker 4: a little bit of a different type of player than
- 40:51Speaker 4: someone that you're projecting is gonna play on defense. So
- 40:54Speaker 4: it'd be interesting to see how they kind of split
- 40:57Speaker 4: that because I don't know if Fisher has as the
- 41:00Speaker 4: Jack Kelly from b YU who some people like Kayshaun
- 41:04Speaker 4: Elliott might have it, you know, I don't know if
- 41:05Speaker 4: they have the athleticism to go out there and play
- 41:08Speaker 4: in space like that in the kicking game.
- 41:10Speaker 2: All right, Well, I grew up in the days of
- 41:13Speaker 2: you know, Willie Lanier and Jack Lambert and you know
- 41:16Speaker 2: even Andre Tippett and and Steve Nelson's Lawrence Taylor. They
- 41:20Speaker 2: were linebackers, you know.
- 41:22Speaker 3: Okay, so those guys are Andre Tippett and Lawrence Taylor
- 41:26Speaker 3: are now like Miles Garrett, like, you don't call them linebackers.
- 41:30Speaker 2: But back then they were linebackers.
- 41:32Speaker 3: Right, But they were pass rushers. They would stand up
- 41:34Speaker 3: edge rushers. Now they now, both of those guys could cover,
- 41:37Speaker 3: but that's not what they made their living doing. Those
- 41:39Speaker 3: guys were really edge rushers, the Jack Lambert's and the
- 41:42Speaker 3: William Laniers that you're talking about. This is Evans Lament.
- 41:47Speaker 3: There's not they don't have those linebackers now that you know,
- 41:51Speaker 3: like Ted Johnson, you know just couda come up and
- 41:53Speaker 3: fill the gap, take on the you know, yeah, take
- 41:56Speaker 3: take on the blocks and fill gaps. And it's it's
- 41:59Speaker 3: more you need sideline to sideline, three down guys who
- 42:02Speaker 3: can cover a little bit tackle the athletes to be
- 42:05Speaker 3: able to match up with some of these running backs
- 42:08Speaker 3: that are so prevalent now in the passing game.
- 42:10Speaker 4: It's hard, hard position.
- 42:12Speaker 2: Ray Lewis was sort of like the last of the
- 42:14Speaker 2: breed where he could thump, he could cover, he could
- 42:18Speaker 2: go sidelines to sideline, he could do it all.
- 42:20Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I just you know, for me, like linebackers,
- 42:24Speaker 4: like I want my linebackers going forward if the guys
- 42:29Speaker 4: that are covering, like what, let's get the dbs to cover, right,
- 42:32Speaker 4: like the guys. I don't want my linebackers being in
- 42:34Speaker 4: high stress coverage situations like if it's third down, I'm
- 42:38Speaker 4: taking that linebacker off the field. Maybe, Like you have
- 42:41Speaker 4: one linebacker, you know, splain would that's what it is?
- 42:43Speaker 3: One guy. Yeah, and but he would blitz like he
- 42:45Speaker 3: would have and it's basically just in case they run.
- 42:47Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, like he would play. He would blitz or
- 42:51Speaker 4: he'd mirror or or you know whatever. He wouldn't be
- 42:54Speaker 4: like covering somebody you know, one on one too often.
- 42:57Speaker 4: So I I think I feel like that has also
- 42:59Speaker 4: kind of played role. You know, teams are playing so
- 43:01Speaker 4: much nickel and dime defense now that you don't even
- 43:03Speaker 4: really need the guys you know that can match up
- 43:06Speaker 4: on running backs like that. I think that's even getting
- 43:09Speaker 4: a little bit more extinct too.
- 43:11Speaker 2: Do you think we'll ever see the cycle kind of
- 43:13Speaker 2: go back to needing those types of linebackers.
- 43:17Speaker 4: I think, in my opinion, it's going back to the
- 43:19Speaker 4: guys that can take on blocks like because you're trying
- 43:23Speaker 4: to stop the run out of these lighter boxes and
- 43:26Speaker 4: if you don't have guys that can come downhill and
- 43:28Speaker 4: fill and basically count as extra defensive linemen to take
- 43:31Speaker 4: back gaps, then it gets really really difficult. So I
- 43:34Speaker 4: actually think that in a lot of cases now you
- 43:37Speaker 4: can beat two hundred and twenty five pounds in fill
- 43:39Speaker 4: a gap. You just do it with speed to power
- 43:41Speaker 4: instead of just like raw size. But you know we
- 43:43Speaker 4: saw it like Josiah Trotter went last night really really early.
- 43:46Speaker 4: Like that's because he is a really, really good run
- 43:49Speaker 4: defending linebacker. Like he's not a coverage player, you know,
- 43:52Speaker 4: he's a really good run defender. I think some of
- 43:55Speaker 4: these teams are looking at it and saying, you know,
- 43:58Speaker 4: we're going to play a six man bob, So our
- 44:01Speaker 4: mic is going to have to be able to compress space.
- 44:03Speaker 4: They're gonna have to take on blocks, They're going to
- 44:05Speaker 4: have to be able to make plays against the run.
- 44:07Speaker 4: You know, let the safeties cover people, let the corners
- 44:09Speaker 4: cover people. You know, this guy's going to go downhill.
- 44:12Speaker 2: All right? Eight five to five pass five hundred is
- 44:15Speaker 2: the hotline. Let's go to Sean and Vancouver. What's up Sean.
- 44:19Speaker 9: He's like a few things, you know. Joe Kim believed
- 44:22Speaker 9: that Gay Bachis would be a Patriot. How much of
- 44:25Speaker 9: the New England Patriots connection worked the other way to
- 44:27Speaker 9: convince the Paths. Also, safety Jalen Kilgar seems to be
- 44:32Speaker 9: falling a bit. What do you think of him as
- 44:34Speaker 9: a Patriot if he's still available? Last thing, what do
- 44:37Speaker 9: you think about nose tackle Tim Keenan the third. Could
- 44:40Speaker 9: he be a tong replacement. I'll let you go on that.
- 44:42Speaker 5: He's the comp. He was the comp and in NFL
- 44:46Speaker 5: dot Com. Yeah, I think. I mean I'd probably if
- 44:48Speaker 5: I had to bet right now, I might roll the
- 44:50Speaker 5: dice on those tackle at this spot coming up.
- 44:52Speaker 4: I think the Godfather is still out there too, Timmy Keenan.
- 44:55Speaker 4: When I watched him, was I mean, there's no pass
- 44:58Speaker 4: rush there, Dad died. He is a situational He's gonna
- 45:02Speaker 4: play on first down, He's gonna play on short yardage,
- 45:04Speaker 4: goal line. He's not going to play at all in
- 45:07Speaker 4: passing situations. So I I you know, I think Dane
- 45:11Speaker 4: had him like a late Day three pick just because
- 45:13Speaker 4: of how you know, small over role he's gonna play.
- 45:16Speaker 4: Kilgore I think is falling because he's kind of like
- 45:18Speaker 4: a specialized like he's a nickel. I think he's gonna
- 45:21Speaker 4: play in the slot. But I you can want you
- 45:24Speaker 4: need to have a role for that, Like if you
- 45:26Speaker 4: don't want to play a big nickel like that, then
- 45:29Speaker 4: you know there's a lot of teams that that just
- 45:31Speaker 4: rules out that kind of player altogether.
- 45:34Speaker 2: All Right, Connor wants to know do you think the
- 45:38Speaker 2: Patriots would have taken Eli Raridan regardless, or do you
- 45:41Speaker 2: think Chris Bell was the pick if the Dolphins didn't
- 45:44Speaker 2: snag him one pick earlier.
- 45:45Speaker 5: I'd go question. I mean, I'd lean with what they did.
- 45:48Speaker 5: I just tight ends a bigger need. It's a position
- 45:50Speaker 5: we talked about. We're assuming A. J. Brown is going
- 45:52Speaker 5: to be coming in. That's the way I would lean in.
- 45:55Speaker 5: And Paul's thing Bell was, you know, maybe you're gonna
- 45:58Speaker 5: have to store him for a little while. Maybe east
- 46:00Speaker 5: he opens up on pup. But yeah, I'm interested to
- 46:04Speaker 5: know how they viewed this whole tight end class. I mean,
- 46:07Speaker 5: we'll never know, but there were a lot of good
- 46:09Speaker 5: a lot of good players. But I'm excited about Ard
- 46:12Speaker 5: and I. It's funny you go back and you look
- 46:14Speaker 5: at your notes and I'm like, yeah, I really like
- 46:15Speaker 5: this kid. Why was I not really on him as much?
- 46:18Speaker 5: And you know, it just kind of happens when you're
- 46:19Speaker 5: sifting through all these guys. But now it's just thinking
- 46:22Speaker 5: about it last night, getting to see him on the
- 46:25Speaker 5: field with the link that he has, it's gonna be intriguing.
- 46:28Speaker 5: You know, see how Drake responds to that just so much.
- 46:31Speaker 5: I mean out of the gate in training camp, you
- 46:32Speaker 5: felt like, now he likes Matt Collins, like he's throwing
- 46:34Speaker 5: the ball to Matt Collins a lot. And I and
- 46:37Speaker 5: I was talking about Brian. I was talking to Brian
- 46:38Speaker 5: Horror today about it. I just said, you know, is
- 46:40Speaker 5: there did you have types of receivers that you struggled
- 46:44Speaker 5: to build chemistry with because they were smaller? And I
- 46:48Speaker 5: forget the name of the receiver he told me about,
- 46:50Speaker 5: but he said that, yes, he.
- 46:52Speaker 2: Was wanted like children from Cleveland.
- 46:54Speaker 4: Day's not a Patriot guy.
- 46:55Speaker 5: It's like a Cleveland guy. It was like a Cleveland guy.
- 46:58Speaker 5: But he said, you know in the receiver said it
- 47:00Speaker 5: it's so hard because you can't see me and I
- 47:02Speaker 5: can't see you.
- 47:03Speaker 4: And he was like, you know, when he catched the ball,
- 47:05Speaker 4: it'd be like whoa.
- 47:06Speaker 5: You know, you wouldn't see it until it's right here,
- 47:10Speaker 5: you know. So I and and it's just a general
- 47:12Speaker 5: Drake thing. I think he just likes seeing those targets.
- 47:15Speaker 5: I mean, Drake's got good size, he doesn't have a
- 47:17Speaker 5: problem scanning the field. But I'm excited that I think
- 47:20Speaker 5: rare And is going to fit exactly that kind of
- 47:22Speaker 5: mold that that Drake likes to throw.
- 47:23Speaker 4: Tom Yeah, it's interesting the I don't feel like fans,
- 47:28Speaker 4: you know, think about sometimes you just can't see the guy,
- 47:32Speaker 4: like so it's easy, like when you watch it from
- 47:34Speaker 4: like a bird's eye view and it's like, oh, this
- 47:36Speaker 4: guy's open, right, but like the screen cap, but like
- 47:40Speaker 4: some guys you know, there's yeah, or like the lineman
- 47:44Speaker 4: flash in front of his face, or like a guy
- 47:46Speaker 4: kind of hides and it's actually his skill as a
- 47:49Speaker 4: receiver to like if he can't see you, then you
- 47:53Speaker 4: can't see him, right, So like the receivers are supposed
- 47:56Speaker 4: to know that if I can't make eye contact with
- 47:59Speaker 4: the quarterback right now and he can't see me, so
- 48:01Speaker 4: I need to move, Like I'm not in a good
- 48:03Speaker 4: place with that. So it's funny how that happens. Sometimes.
- 48:06Speaker 4: There was one I can't remember exactly what play it was,
- 48:08Speaker 4: but there was one play last year of the year
- 48:11Speaker 4: before where Drake missed a guy open over the middle
- 48:14Speaker 4: of the field and he's like, honestly, I couldn't see him.
- 48:17Speaker 2: A lot of guys, not a lot, but you see
- 48:19Speaker 2: some guys regardless of the color of their uniforms, they
- 48:22Speaker 2: wear those bright yellow receiving gloves.
- 48:25Speaker 4: Yeah, do you think.
- 48:27Speaker 2: That has anything to do with Maybe that flashes and
- 48:29Speaker 2: my quarterback sees it a little better.
- 48:31Speaker 4: Maybe I remember Edelman. Edelman talked about how Bill would
- 48:35Speaker 4: have them wear receiver gloves if they were the same
- 48:37Speaker 4: color as the jersey of the opponent, right, so that
- 48:41Speaker 4: the whole for holding, so that they couldn't see where
- 48:43Speaker 4: their hands. The refs couldn't see the hands as well
- 48:45Speaker 4: on the jerseys, so they would like camouflage into the jersey.
- 48:49Speaker 5: So you can't wear teal gloves against the Dolphins on
- 48:54Speaker 5: the Patriots.
- 48:55Speaker 4: So they just have like a bunch of different colored
- 48:57Speaker 4: gloves and like if they're playing a team with like
- 48:59Speaker 4: dark colored jur they put the black gloves on, and
- 49:01Speaker 4: like jerseys, they put the white gloves on. Yeah.
- 49:04Speaker 3: I told him that I just hate when they weigh
- 49:05Speaker 3: the yellow gloves because he always looks like a flag.
- 49:07Speaker 3: Yeah you're watching TV, you know, like, oh, it's a flag, right, No,
- 49:11Speaker 3: it's just a glove.
- 49:13Speaker 2: Eddie and la fun draft so far, I personally would
- 49:16Speaker 2: have liked howl over August. I want to say yakis,
- 49:20Speaker 2: but I know it's ocus achus, but I see the
- 49:24Speaker 2: potential with Akis, so I can't keep playing. Uh So,
- 49:28Speaker 2: say Campbell isn't suited for a left tackle, would it
- 49:31Speaker 2: be smart to try him at right tackle and then
- 49:33Speaker 2: guard or would you move him straight to guard and
- 49:36Speaker 2: try Lamu Lamou at left tackle? Just some thoughts and
- 49:40Speaker 2: how you would go about fixing the line if things
- 49:42Speaker 2: don't work out.
- 49:44Speaker 5: I mean, I just whatever you do, I don't want
- 49:46Speaker 5: to weaken two spots at once. So you know, if
- 49:48Speaker 5: you're a Tucker is in the left guard spot and
- 49:50Speaker 5: he's playing well.
- 49:51Speaker 4: Then where he's very Tucker going. If you're right Campbell
- 49:54Speaker 4: left guard and it's very Tucker going to right guard,
- 49:57Speaker 4: I guess, and then maybe on when he was out,
- 49:58Speaker 4: And like, I.
- 49:59Speaker 5: Mean, we're just possible.
- 50:00Speaker 3: I think that the larger rather than worrying about sides
- 50:03Speaker 3: is would you try Campbell at right tackle before you
- 50:07Speaker 3: tried to move them to guard?
- 50:08Speaker 4: I'm going to play with Will Campbell at left tackle? No, no, no,
- 50:12Speaker 4: this hype efect.
- 50:14Speaker 2: You need to I don't like.
- 50:17Speaker 3: No, I don't need I don't know why we have
- 50:19Speaker 3: to entertain this like this, this whole I'm gonna I
- 50:23Speaker 3: want to explore this further during the course of the
- 50:25Speaker 3: off season around the room a little this utter refusal,
- 50:28Speaker 3: like I don't care who plays left tackle as long
- 50:30Speaker 3: as they're the best left tackle on the team.
- 50:32Speaker 4: I think he's the best left tackle on the team.
- 50:34Speaker 4: I understand that That's not what I'm not saying.
- 50:36Speaker 3: It's trying to suggest that low moom is better at
- 50:39Speaker 3: left tackle than Will Campbell. So then where what would
- 50:42Speaker 3: you do with Will Campbell in that case?
- 50:44Speaker 5: Would you to me that is.
- 50:45Speaker 4: Just hypotheticals, Like we're just making things up, right, So why.
- 50:51Speaker 3: Like, because it's a possibility. That's why, I mean a possibility.
- 50:56Speaker 3: That's why you create competition on your roster so you
- 50:59Speaker 3: see the best player is can we see.
- 51:01Speaker 4: The guy play in pads in an NFL practice before
- 51:04Speaker 4: we start saying if that is happening, if you.
- 51:07Speaker 3: Like, you need to open your mind a little bit,
- 51:10Speaker 3: like no one said this is happening.
- 51:12Speaker 5: Okay, but we don't know.
- 51:15Speaker 3: In an emailer has I think a very legitimate question,
- 51:18Speaker 3: would you just automatically I'm.
- 51:19Speaker 4: Not trying to guard I just feel like.
- 51:22Speaker 2: We just don't want to entertain it, right.
- 51:24Speaker 3: It's like, because everybody likes the guy, I love the
- 51:27Speaker 3: kid too. No, he's not talking to my wife at
- 51:29Speaker 3: the welcome party. I thought it was great.
- 51:31Speaker 5: I love somebody as good.
- 51:34Speaker 2: As you know, Like somebody tells Evan, you know somebody
- 51:36Speaker 2: in your family could get sick. No they can't. I'm
- 51:40Speaker 2: just not gonna like that.
- 51:43Speaker 3: Where no one wants to even bring up the possibility
- 51:46Speaker 3: that I hear it, because like it just I'm not whatever.
- 51:52Speaker 4: I I just like we're talking about because we're talking
- 51:56Speaker 4: about a guy that played at a really high level
- 51:59Speaker 4: I think at that position for fourteen weeks. Then he
- 52:01Speaker 4: tore his mcut and then you don't think that. I mean,
- 52:04Speaker 4: he had one bad game against Miles Garrett. Are we
- 52:06Speaker 4: gonna We're gonna, We're gonna.
- 52:08Speaker 5: Bras the game. I mean, like I think there was
- 52:10Speaker 5: a lot of like really late pressure.
- 52:12Speaker 3: I mean I know that the set, Like you just
- 52:13Speaker 3: look at the sack total at the end of that
- 52:15Speaker 3: game and it looks like you got killed. I don't
- 52:17Speaker 3: really think he got killed that game. I know we
- 52:19Speaker 3: gave up five sacks, but.
- 52:20Speaker 4: A couple of them were well out of the.
- 52:22Speaker 3: Pocket, and Miles Garret is just a superior athlete and
- 52:25Speaker 3: ran them down.
- 52:26Speaker 5: But I would I.
- 52:27Speaker 4: Think that he can. We just think he's give it
- 52:30Speaker 4: some time before we broach the subject, like let's watch
- 52:32Speaker 4: the season unfold away.
- 52:33Speaker 3: I just don't understand now that we have to get time.
- 52:37Speaker 2: I hear you, Evan. I'm, like I've said many times,
- 52:40Speaker 2: I'm team Campbell. However, they just drafted a guy who
- 52:44Speaker 2: all he's played is left tackle.
- 52:46Speaker 3: That's kind of why Evan doesn't really love to pick.
- 52:48Speaker 10: You know.
- 52:48Speaker 2: And and so you know it's right, like yeah, and
- 52:55Speaker 2: some people think that, yeah, Will Campbell played at a
- 52:58Speaker 2: very high level against the lesser competition in the league,
- 53:02Speaker 2: and when you know, things got a little bit more
- 53:05Speaker 2: heated later on, you didn't do well. Now, a lot
- 53:07Speaker 2: of that could been the injury. I give you that,
- 53:09Speaker 2: But people are just you know what if so.
- 53:14Speaker 4: You're thinking about this all wrong about what I'm saying,
- 53:17Speaker 4: like has nothing to do with that. I like the guy, Okay,
- 53:21Speaker 4: this is about let's move this guy over here, and
- 53:24Speaker 4: let's move that guy over there, and then you know,
- 53:26Speaker 4: like that's just magically going to make them all better.
- 53:29Speaker 4: Well you know, but but no, But the thing that
- 53:32Speaker 4: I'm saying is is that moving Will Campbell inside to
- 53:35Speaker 4: guard or flipping him to right tackle. There's no guarantee
- 53:38Speaker 4: that he's a better left guard or right tackle than
- 53:40Speaker 4: he is a left tackle. True, and actually in reality
- 53:43Speaker 4: it's like a lot harder than people are giving it,
- 53:45Speaker 4: like credence for it.
- 53:46Speaker 2: That's an even darker it could be. But but on
- 53:49Speaker 2: the other hand, if he's not doing well at left tackle,
- 53:52Speaker 2: you don't want to just scuttle him. You want to
- 53:54Speaker 2: find a place for him because you think he's a
- 53:56Speaker 2: good football player.
- 53:57Speaker 4: Okay, but you're we're all just assuming that ince same
- 54:00Speaker 4: thing with Loomb But we're all just assuming he can
- 54:02Speaker 4: play right No, assuming that Will is gonna be want
- 54:05Speaker 4: the left guard and he's gonna.
- 54:06Speaker 3: Be I won a great a fairness of the other
- 54:09Speaker 3: night when they picked Lomu. I had said to Mike, like, well,
- 54:12Speaker 3: what if he can't do that? Like, I don't know
- 54:14Speaker 3: what Lomu is. Guy's never played an NFL game, ain't right,
- 54:18Speaker 3: So like this might be a completely moved point, But I.
- 54:21Speaker 5: Just I just can I answer it? Yeah, I'll just
- 54:23Speaker 5: say I would wait till twenty twenty seven, and if
- 54:26Speaker 5: it happened, I would let one you walk and I
- 54:27Speaker 5: would slide verit. Tucker to right guard, and I would
- 54:29Speaker 5: put Will Campbell at left guard.
- 54:31Speaker 3: That to me not in favor of that. I think
- 54:33Speaker 3: that's a lot of moving parts.
- 54:35Speaker 4: Well, Ver Tucker's played right guard, he has played right guard. Yeah,
- 54:37Speaker 4: I know, it's just a lot of moving parts.
- 54:39Speaker 5: He's a left left guard, Will Campbell be I think
- 54:41Speaker 5: that that probably would be where it would be. But
- 54:44Speaker 5: I don't see the need to do it this year,
- 54:46Speaker 5: you know, I I mean, I think about injury in that.
- 54:49Speaker 5: But in that scenario, who plays right tackle? Morgan Moses.
- 54:56Speaker 2: Could probably find it.
- 54:57Speaker 5: Right soon to be desired a third straight year of
- 54:59Speaker 5: a the third straight year of a tackle.
- 55:02Speaker 3: He can't Spaah Tucker at right guard? Who plays right tackle?
- 55:05Speaker 3: What I said, they don't have one who's on third.
- 55:08Speaker 3: But I think that's what the crux of the thing is.
- 55:11Speaker 3: I understand Evan's point. He doesn't necessarily want to get
- 55:14Speaker 3: bogged down on hypotheticals. And this is typical of my shows.
- 55:18Speaker 3: This is a typical my show hypothetical. I grant you that,
- 55:22Speaker 3: But if that were to happen, if you felt like Lomu,
- 55:25Speaker 3: Let's say, Lomu is really good, but is one of
- 55:30Speaker 3: those guys that Belichick and Dante have talked about he's
- 55:33Speaker 3: not comfortable on the right side and he's really good.
- 55:37Speaker 3: Maybe Campbell is comfortable moving, so maybe Campbell's fine, but
- 55:41Speaker 3: he has more of an ability to play right tackle
- 55:43Speaker 3: than Lomu does. Maybe maybe he's just a natural switch.
- 55:47Speaker 3: So that's a positive way to look at now, yet
- 55:49Speaker 3: to really good tackles, to just fix the whole thing,
- 55:53Speaker 3: well Campbell thing that That is what happened at Utah.
- 55:57Speaker 3: Spencer Finol came to Utah with Lomu, and the Utah
- 56:02Speaker 3: coaching staff said, we think Lomu can only play the
- 56:05Speaker 3: left side, and so we're going to ask Spencer Fane,
- 56:08Speaker 3: who's actually was drafted higher.
- 56:10Speaker 4: He's the first tackle. Yeah, and some people think was,
- 56:13Speaker 4: you know, the better player. We're actually going to ask
- 56:15Speaker 4: him to play on the right side, which is unconventional
- 56:18Speaker 4: because Lomu is really a left tackle only player. And
- 56:21Speaker 4: so that for that reason was a big reason why
- 56:24Speaker 4: I wrote off Lomu as somebody.
- 56:26Speaker 3: They were just also similar to Missouri. Last year you
- 56:31Speaker 3: had Arman membu Yah was the first round pick right tackle.
- 56:35Speaker 3: In our own Marcus Bryant was the seventh round pick
- 56:38Speaker 3: left tackle. Now, obviously there's a much closer gap between
- 56:41Speaker 3: the two Utah guys. They were both first round talents
- 56:43Speaker 3: and first round picks. But it was the same kind
- 56:47Speaker 3: of thing. When I talked to the Missouri line coach,
- 56:50Speaker 3: they went out and got Marcus Bryant, I believe from
- 56:53Speaker 3: SMU from the memory correctly, and they plugged him right
- 56:56Speaker 3: in on the left side because they thought Membu was
- 56:59Speaker 3: more comfortable where he was and they didn't want to
- 57:02Speaker 3: disrupt that.
- 57:02Speaker 2: I want to go back to Evan's story about Lomu
- 57:05Speaker 2: at Utah and Fino, So if that's the case, they
- 57:10Speaker 2: didn't think he could play on the right side. Do
- 57:13Speaker 2: you think the Patriots you know about that story. I
- 57:16Speaker 2: would think the Patriots scouting would know about that story
- 57:18Speaker 2: too and have talked to them about that. And maybe
- 57:22Speaker 2: in the years since, you know now, do you think
- 57:26Speaker 2: he could play right time?
- 57:27Speaker 7: You think so they've talked about that with Utah probably,
- 57:31Speaker 7: And look, that was just you know, one person's interpretation
- 57:35Speaker 7: of you know what happened, you know what was what
- 57:37Speaker 7: was being talked about.
- 57:39Speaker 2: But they.
- 57:41Speaker 4: They felt like Finoa was more comfortable switching, so they switched. Fine,
- 57:46Speaker 4: The Patriots said after the draft on Thursday night that
- 57:50Speaker 4: he took past sets at right tackle at his pro
- 57:52Speaker 4: day and looked pretty good getting in out of his
- 57:54Speaker 4: stance at right tackle. Because everything's flipped right, you're not
- 57:57Speaker 4: just your hands but also your feet, so you know,
- 58:00Speaker 4: the foot that you're kicking out of your stance with
- 58:02Speaker 4: is now the opposite foot. So they said that, you know,
- 58:06Speaker 4: he looked pretty comfortable doing it. He's played thirty two
- 58:09Speaker 4: snaps in his entire collegiate career on the right side.
- 58:13Speaker 4: It's not even a full game, so we haven't really
- 58:15Speaker 4: seen him do it yet.
- 58:17Speaker 5: You know, he didn't do it at a.
- 58:18Speaker 4: College All Star game that I'm aware of, Like, so
- 58:20Speaker 4: he really hasn't done it in pads yet. So we'll see,
- 58:24Speaker 4: you know.
- 58:24Speaker 2: I'm just wondering the people at Utah who know him
- 58:26Speaker 2: the best, say the stuff that we saw that we
- 58:30Speaker 2: thought would keep him being able to play right tackle
- 58:33Speaker 2: back then, he's improved on those things and now it's
- 58:36Speaker 2: it's different now we think he could probably make that transition. Yeah,
- 58:39Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 58:39Speaker 4: I hope, So, I mean I hope that's the case.
- 58:41Speaker 4: And you know, look, maybe maybe we end up getting
- 58:44Speaker 4: into a place where it's will Campbell, that's switching because
- 58:47Speaker 4: he's more comfortable switching. I don't know, I just I
- 58:51Speaker 4: keep going back to, you know, the things that I've
- 58:53Speaker 4: been told about offensive line play, and everybody thinks that
- 58:56Speaker 4: it's just so easy to play musical chairs on the
- 58:58Speaker 4: offensive line. We're just gonna move this guy on this
- 59:00Speaker 4: side to that side, and that side to this side,
- 59:03Speaker 4: and he's going to go inside and that guy's gonna
- 59:05Speaker 4: go outside. And like all the line coaches that I've
- 59:09Speaker 4: ever talked to say, no, you can't do it like that.
- 59:13Speaker 4: And you know, that was a big thing that you know,
- 59:15Speaker 4: Dante Scarnekia used to say, was like they used to
- 59:18Speaker 4: just do one for one substitutions because they wanted to
- 59:22Speaker 4: just instead of weakening two spots, they were just weaken
- 59:24Speaker 4: one with the backup going in right directly for that spot.
- 59:27Speaker 4: That's how you get, you know, the Jordan Devies, you know,
- 59:30Speaker 4: starting games for the Patriots. So like, you know, I
- 59:34Speaker 4: just that's why I get annoyed by the question, not
- 59:37Speaker 4: because of the Will Campbell piece of it. It's the assumption,
- 59:41Speaker 4: you know, we're just going to be able to move
- 59:43Speaker 4: everybody around and it's gonna end up being better than
- 59:45Speaker 4: it was.
- 59:46Speaker 2: Yeah, this is good.
- 59:48Speaker 5: I just I think it's worth pointing out to that
- 59:50Speaker 5: Utah ran a run first offense. So I don't know
- 59:53Speaker 5: that the left tackle right tackle thing in the traditional
- 59:56Speaker 5: sense of the way that we're thinking about it is
- 59:58Speaker 5: exactly applicable to how they were playing. So there might
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: be some nuance there where you know, there are po
- 1:00:04Speaker 5: heavy team like, I don't know, it's not the traditional
- 1:00:06Speaker 5: drop back passing where you know what I mean, there
- 1:00:08Speaker 5: might be some more nuance to that decision than being
- 1:00:11Speaker 5: so simple as.
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: He's better on the left. But I think that the
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: I mean, again, I say this all the time. I'm
- 1:00:16Speaker 3: not an offensive line expert, but to me, the the
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: change is the difficulty in going from left to right
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: is really less to do with the style of offenses.
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: Is everything is backwards, so whether you're run blocking or
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: pass blocking, you're doing it from the opposite side.
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: Like so yeah, basically.
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: You're there's just not you know what I mean, is
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: kind of mirrored.
- 1:00:38Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean this is I mean, I'm thinking off
- 1:00:41Speaker 5: the top of my head here though, But you know,
- 1:00:43Speaker 5: is it easier as a run blocker where I'm mostly
- 1:00:45Speaker 5: just coming off and going off to my right rather
- 1:00:48Speaker 5: than your kick stepping back to the right side and
- 1:00:51Speaker 5: trying to you know, get you know what I mean
- 1:00:53Speaker 5: past block guys like I am. I'm not saying that
- 1:00:56Speaker 5: it's a total difference. There just might be some nuance in.
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: There with it.
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: All right, it's three o'clock. We're on about the one
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: hundred and sixty fourth pick. Patriots are sitting at the
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy first pick. So let's take up
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: right when we come back, it'll be that much closer
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: to when the Patriots make their fifth round pick. We'll
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: be right now.

- 1:05:21Speaker 1: Dy Welcome back to the twenty twenty sixth Patriots on
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: Filter Draft show, the New England Patriots slide presented by
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: Toyota's official website. For deals, buy a Toyota dot com.
- 1:05:39Speaker 4: These guys that have been picniced and are so like
- 1:05:41Speaker 4: Abney happy.
- 1:05:43Speaker 5: For I know they were back.
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: Oh we are back.
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: I know the running back from Penn State.
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: Just crossing off another back of the envelope. Guy Tanner
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: Cozy from Houston.
- 1:05:58Speaker 5: It was like a six foot seven middles cooler, Like
- 1:06:00Speaker 5: he just had such a baby face, but he was
- 1:06:02Speaker 5: a giant dude. And he's behind the podium at the
- 1:06:05Speaker 5: combine and I was like, Oh, who's this guy? And
- 1:06:06Speaker 5: then he like stepped down and like, oh my god,
- 1:06:09Speaker 5: he's a huge kid.
- 1:06:10Speaker 4: Yeah. Remind me of a lot of Mike Sicky. Like
- 1:06:13Speaker 4: good receiving, tight end, great hands, great intested catchability, not
- 1:06:17Speaker 4: a blocker, all right.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: Penn State took Nicholas Singleton running back.
- 1:06:24Speaker 4: Tennessee took Nicholas Sington from Tennessee. Draft players.
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: Right popped in nicol Penn State got taken by Tennessee.
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: Uh so the Bears are on the clock.
- 1:06:37Speaker 4: Those guys back to back.
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: For about four picks away at this point.
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: Yeah, back to back picks coming up. So I wonder
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: what bill.
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: Does Bills are in the fifth round. They had two
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: picks earlier.
- 1:06:48Speaker 4: In the round two, fourth round they got work around Patriots.
- 1:06:51Speaker 4: They had back to back fourth round picks.
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: Yeah, big Day three team.
- 1:06:55Speaker 4: They took Skylar Bell with the Patriots. Skyline picked Patriots trader.
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: This is a humane draft for the Bills. This is
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: the beginning of their new era.
- 1:07:03Speaker 5: Oh Fred is the we're opening the window.
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: At the new stadium, you know, new right.
- 1:07:10Speaker 4: It is interesting that obviously he's a he's you know,
- 1:07:13Speaker 4: was their offensive coordinator, but they have a new defensive coordinator,
- 1:07:17Speaker 4: Jim Leonard, and like the system is, you know, defensively,
- 1:07:20Speaker 4: looks like it's going to change pretty significantly. Like I
- 1:07:22Speaker 4: don't think t. J. Parker would have been their type
- 1:07:25Speaker 4: of guy in a four to three and like their
- 1:07:26Speaker 4: old type of system. So it's interesting to see what
- 1:07:29Speaker 4: Buffalo is, you know, transitioning to these days. Kesehawn Elliott
- 1:07:32Speaker 4: just went so one of the another one of those linebackers.
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: Yep, so Bill's Bill steal As Brown's Patriots coming up.
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:07:41Speaker 5: I mean, this is the fifth round of the draft.
- 1:07:43Speaker 5: At this point, you know, who knows what their board
- 1:07:46Speaker 5: looks like. I go back to the question I poorly
- 1:07:50Speaker 5: asked of Elliott two days ago. But you know, at
- 1:07:53Speaker 5: this point, how do you know when it's time to
- 1:07:55Speaker 5: trade up? Or I mean, are there less trades when
- 1:07:58Speaker 5: you get into Day three or are there more trade
- 1:08:00Speaker 5: It's because I mean, maybe you see somebody that you
- 1:08:03Speaker 5: really really like and you'd say, screwed, we gotta go
- 1:08:05Speaker 5: get him, but at this point, don't you feel like
- 1:08:07Speaker 5: you just kind of sit and wait and see what's
- 1:08:08Speaker 5: there when you get there and hopefully make a quality pick. Uh,
- 1:08:12Speaker 5: let's see Mike, and may add not playing that's fine,
- 1:08:16Speaker 5: he didn't like it to add.
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: Fuel to the fire. According to Kadlake's x account, starting
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: five from left to right will be Lomu, Campbell, Wilson, You,
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: and Vera Tucka.
- 1:08:28Speaker 5: This was Evan. It's about to go.
- 1:08:30Speaker 4: He said that if he said something about can you
- 1:08:32Speaker 4: read that again?
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: Left tackle?
- 1:08:36Speaker 5: Vera Tucker is going to play right tackle.
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:08:38Speaker 4: He got roasted for this take. He got roasted so
- 1:08:40Speaker 4: bad for the take that he replied to the tweet
- 1:08:43Speaker 4: with a revised version and said, Okay, all right, I
- 1:08:46Speaker 4: get you know, Mike, don't back up, Mike gun.
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: I'm not even gonna if that's Evan was well aware
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: of that.
- 1:08:57Speaker 4: You know what my guys are doing right along? Then
- 1:09:01Speaker 4: I just love sending it in the group text like
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: we're going to make a guard attack in the rookie
- 1:09:06Speaker 4: got left hock.
- 1:09:07Speaker 5: I just imagine the textbox up from ev and it's
- 1:09:09Speaker 5: just like, what is this?
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:09:11Speaker 4: Yeah, Because a lot of like so much fun.
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: The thing that I was thinking about this morning when
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: one of your guys was talking about, you know, they
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: don't have a plan. They should have done all this
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: stuff last year, all this stuff right as if you
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: can do it. These guys are playing fantasy football, some
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: of these analysts, these quote analysts.
- 1:09:27Speaker 3: Yeah that's not they need a wr one.
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not. It's not how it works. You just
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: can't do everything every year.
- 1:09:36Speaker 4: Honestly though, like I was in game, as I do,
- 1:09:38Speaker 4: I was thinking about this last night on my ride home.
- 1:09:42Speaker 4: Their roster looks pretty darn good on paper right now.
- 1:09:44Speaker 5: It's not bad, especially Patriots.
- 1:09:46Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't have any huge hole, especially if you
- 1:09:50Speaker 4: are we're all assuming A J. Brown is going to
- 1:09:52Speaker 4: be a part of this in a month.
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: I mean, they did a really good job and a
- 1:09:56Speaker 3: really short amount of time of filling a lot of hole.
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: Like talk about depth issues in certain case.
- 1:10:03Speaker 4: Theftball linebacker is the depth issue right now. But like
- 1:10:06Speaker 4: you know, they were talking about Lomu, you know, having
- 1:10:09Speaker 4: a little bit of guard flexibility maybe as a rookie
- 1:10:12Speaker 4: if he's backing up, you know, kind of four spots.
- 1:10:14Speaker 4: You know, if that it comes to that, you know,
- 1:10:17Speaker 4: I don't know if you'd necessarily have all this major
- 1:10:19Speaker 4: depth issues on the offensive line because you still have
- 1:10:21Speaker 4: Ben Brown who can back up three spots on the interior.
- 1:10:24Speaker 4: If you know Lomu can be your swing tackle. I
- 1:10:27Speaker 4: mean that, how much more do you like NFL caliber
- 1:10:30Speaker 4: depth on the line? To people say, what.
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: Bround was Joe Tuney taken or fourth? If he had
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: been a first round pick and still had the same
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: career where he's kind of like this guy that can
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: play a lot, would that have been a good first
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: round pick?
- 1:10:44Speaker 5: I mean, it's we get into the guard thing, but yeah,
- 1:10:46Speaker 5: but he's a Hall of Fame guard, so yeah, I
- 1:10:47Speaker 5: would say probably a late.
- 1:10:49Speaker 3: First round pick would have been. Yeah, he's a Hall
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: of Fame.
- 1:10:52Speaker 5: You guys know, I keep my Nerd depth chart here
- 1:10:54Speaker 5: and I would just say that the three spots I
- 1:10:56Speaker 5: have left, like I have red spots of where I
- 1:10:58Speaker 5: think they need depth lest that guard, you know guard,
- 1:11:01Speaker 5: I think they needed Michael When is going to be up.
- 1:11:03Speaker 5: And regardless you.
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: Got Ben Brown.
- 1:11:04Speaker 5: He's a good swing guy, but I think you need
- 1:11:06Speaker 5: one more young guard, a nose tackle, and an off
- 1:11:08Speaker 5: the ball linebacker. Those are the three spots I have
- 1:11:11Speaker 5: left that I'd like to get some depth pieces. They
- 1:11:13Speaker 5: don't have to be immediate contributors, but maybe guys that
- 1:11:16Speaker 5: develop behind the scenes. But you know, after that, I'm
- 1:11:19Speaker 5: pretty good.
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say big pitcher for the whole roster.
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: I agree that I think they've done an amazing job
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: filling a lot of holes in a year and a
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: year plus right last year and now so far this year.
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: I would say one thing that would say, you know,
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: they've addressed it, but we'll see if it works. So
- 1:11:40Speaker 3: wide receiver where you're gonna have AJ Brown, most likely
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: in Romeo Dobbs.
- 1:11:46Speaker 5: Do they work? Yeah, So if they work, now you've
- 1:11:49Speaker 5: given Drake.
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: May As, let's just say minimally as much as you
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: gave him last year, if not more, probably more, I
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: would say more, right, depending on Brown.
- 1:11:59Speaker 4: As long as that yeah, as long as that works.
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: Now, if A. J. Brown's knees are shot and he's
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: not you know, when he is on the decline and
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: Romeo Dobbs kind of is what he is. He's just
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: sort of a complimentary piece and nothing more, then you're
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: probably gonna still be looking for some more weapons for
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: for Drake may Next year.
- 1:12:16Speaker 4: I mean maybe I like a Brown, we've addressed it.
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: You can't say they didn't.
- 1:12:20Speaker 4: Yeah, like a J. Brown, Romeo Dobbs and whoever wins
- 1:12:24Speaker 4: out for the third Kyle Williams or maccollins or Booty
- 1:12:29Speaker 4: or Pop are still on the roster at that point.
- 1:12:32Speaker 4: Henry now rear it in. Yeah, you're blocking tight end
- 1:12:35Speaker 4: and Julian Hill, and you also have Ramandre and Trevon
- 1:12:38Speaker 4: Henderson as your two backs.
- 1:12:40Speaker 12: Help.
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: It's it's a pretty damn good roster.
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: And you have all five offensive lineman figured out.
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: The roster's gotten better, uh dramatically in just two seasons. Like,
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: I don't know if you could ask much more out
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: of these guys.
- 1:12:53Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, you know, like the one spot I
- 1:12:56Speaker 4: you know, would say in terms of high end talent,
- 1:12:58Speaker 4: like we talked about receiver, like you know Akis has
- 1:13:00Speaker 4: got a hit. You know, like akis Is is going
- 1:13:03Speaker 4: to have to be you know, a double digit sack guy.
- 1:13:06Speaker 4: You know, they don't really have that kind of player
- 1:13:09Speaker 4: without him, you know, hitting his ceiling as a player.
- 1:13:11Speaker 4: But even like I, you know a lot of people
- 1:13:13Speaker 4: are talking about you know, well, they still need depth
- 1:13:15Speaker 4: of safety, like Craig Woodson and Kevin Byrd is a
- 1:13:18Speaker 4: pretty darn good starting safety.
- 1:13:20Speaker 3: Exciting, right, And the reason I bring up the wide
- 1:13:22Speaker 3: receiver thing, right is because if it works out that
- 1:13:25Speaker 3: let's just say it's the worst case scenario and A J.
- 1:13:29Speaker 3: Brown doesn't work, so he's probably going to be a
- 1:13:31Speaker 3: one and done. They'll probably find a way to move
- 1:13:33Speaker 3: on from him if he's not good. So now you'd
- 1:13:36Speaker 3: have Dobbs next year. And then Mike has been talking
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: about this for months. You know, the rest of the
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: receivers basically are up, so you're really going to be
- 1:13:45Speaker 3: looking for weapons in the passing game next year if
- 1:13:48Speaker 3: it doesn't.
- 1:13:49Speaker 5: Work out with the guys, guy, if A J.
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: Brown is a twelve hundred yard receiver and Romeo Dobbs
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: can go from you know, a complimentary piece to like
- 1:13:58Speaker 3: a one A.
- 1:13:59Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're draft back hit. Jerry Smith from the Buckeyes.
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: Jerry Jerry Rice Jerry Well.
- 1:14:05Speaker 4: The good news is that even besides Jeremiah Smith right now,
- 1:14:09Speaker 4: on paper, it's a loaded wide receiver class next year,
- 1:14:12Speaker 4: Like there's probably gonna be you know, some I would
- 1:14:15Speaker 4: say at least three, if not number one, like true,
- 1:14:19Speaker 4: like first round blue chip kind of receivers. Obviously, Jeremiah
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: Smith's in his own stratosphere. But it's a good class,
- 1:14:26Speaker 4: you know. But I just looked at you know, their
- 1:14:29Speaker 4: their hour lads depth chart as work it does for hour,
- 1:14:33Speaker 4: and I mean I was kind of like I got it.
- 1:14:36Speaker 4: Maybe I'm a homer, but like, this looks like a
- 1:14:37Speaker 4: pretty good roster, especially when you consider that Drake may
- 1:14:41Speaker 4: is the quarterback and Mike Rabel's the coach. Like it's
- 1:14:43Speaker 4: it's a pretty good team.
- 1:14:45Speaker 5: I would agree.
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: Simon California says, as a former offensive lineman and lifelong
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: football fan, I'm disappointed in the Patriots drafting a left
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: tackle who needs to build strength but had great pass
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: protection skills in a run first Utah offense.
- 1:15:00Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: Will Campbell played through injury and has a mentality similar
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: Logan Mankins. Meanwhile, one of the knocks and Lomo is
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: his attitude to punish people. I hope for the best,
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: but one hundred percent agree with Evan. We should have
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: picked an edge at thirty one and got Markel Bell
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: in the third round. And for Deuce, if you had
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: to switch from left to right defense and hockey, how
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: would that affect you?
- 1:15:21Speaker 5: No problem? I mean you just slightly adjust it doesn't
- 1:15:24Speaker 5: I mean, it's basically I would just say the breakouts
- 1:15:27Speaker 5: and you know, both ends. So I'm playing on the wall.
- 1:15:29Speaker 5: I got my stick on the left side easier than
- 1:15:32Speaker 5: I'm on the right side.
- 1:15:32Speaker 3: I gotta catch it if.
- 1:15:35Speaker 4: You're gonna play pept I think.
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: Five five left shots, I believe.
- 1:15:42Speaker 4: Isn't it easier to play with your stick on the
- 1:15:44Speaker 4: side of the boards though.
- 1:15:45Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I mean technically it is, but it's not
- 1:15:47Speaker 5: that hard to just catch it on your back hand.
- 1:15:49Speaker 2: It's something.
- 1:15:50Speaker 5: But I didn't hear them what you got, Maddie.
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: I was just making a joke.
- 1:15:53Speaker 5: I said, you should sniff after that, duce.
- 1:15:55Speaker 4: Oh well, sailors pick is in out one sixty nine.
- 1:16:00Speaker 4: The Browns are on the clock at one seventies, so
- 1:16:03Speaker 4: the Patriots might actually be on the clock.
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: H Yeah, Buffalo didn't want to own the fifth round.
- 1:16:07Speaker 3: By the way, they traded the second one of these.
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: They took the kill guy that.
- 1:16:12Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a like a big nickel, And like I
- 1:16:16Speaker 4: said earlier, I really liked him. But you have to
- 1:16:19Speaker 4: have a role in mind for a player like that,
- 1:16:21Speaker 4: Like if that's not that role doesn't already exist in
- 1:16:24Speaker 4: your defense. It's hard to just kind of create it
- 1:16:26Speaker 4: out of thin air.
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: Evan going into last year, thought Campbell was the best
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: option among him, Membu and Banks. Does he feel the
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: same today. Each had pretty similar seasons and Campbell finished poorly.
- 1:16:38Speaker 4: I think that, yes, But you know, realistically, probably maybe
- 1:16:42Speaker 4: a little bit closer between Campbell and Banks. I mean,
- 1:16:44Speaker 4: membuo played right tackle, and he played right tackle in college,
- 1:16:47Speaker 4: and he played right tackle for the Jets, So I'm
- 1:16:50Speaker 4: not I'm just kind of not counting that one as much.
- 1:16:53Speaker 4: But you know, Banks also didn't play the Chargers, the Texans,
- 1:16:58Speaker 4: the Broncos in Seattle, and we didn't get to see
- 1:17:00Speaker 4: the exposure of what he would have.
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: Looked like against after an injury, four of the best.
- 1:17:04Speaker 4: Pass rushers in football. So I didn't get hurt last year.
- 1:17:07Speaker 4: I hadn't heard that.
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: Snarky snarky ball.
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: Yeah, Don and Philly. With Rabel not being available today,
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: has Elliott reached out to Evan about selecting any of
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: his my guys a little disrespectful if not?
- 1:17:21Speaker 4: Has he?
- 1:17:22Speaker 5: No?
- 1:17:22Speaker 4: He has not.
- 1:17:22Speaker 3: No.
- 1:17:23Speaker 16: No, I.
- 1:17:26Speaker 4: Will say the seventh round pick.
- 1:17:27Speaker 5: I will say no because Nancy Meyer, I think is
- 1:17:30Speaker 5: going to make a pick today and you know, shout
- 1:17:31Speaker 5: out Nancy Meyer. This is probably one of her I mean,
- 1:17:33Speaker 5: this is I think if for her last fifty one
- 1:17:36Speaker 5: you know, season's been nineteen seventy four. One of my
- 1:17:39Speaker 5: favorite moments of Super Bowl Week was that the party
- 1:17:41Speaker 5: Paul you and I went up to Nancy. We you know,
- 1:17:43Speaker 5: took a great picture with her, and she's just been
- 1:17:46Speaker 5: so sweet to me. I mean, it's it's she is
- 1:17:49Speaker 5: the Patriots.
- 1:17:50Speaker 4: It's like I look at her.
- 1:17:50Speaker 5: I mean, her and Tip are the two that have
- 1:17:52Speaker 5: been here for every single Super Bowl and it's just
- 1:17:56Speaker 5: such a wonderful person.
- 1:17:57Speaker 3: And I'm you know, when we talk about all these
- 1:18:00Speaker 3: things like like thirty visits and you know, when we
- 1:18:03Speaker 3: picked these players and they come in and they you know,
- 1:18:06Speaker 3: they get come to the organization. Nancy Meyers the clock
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: and helping, you know, with all the logistics of all
- 1:18:12Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. She is a truly special person.
- 1:18:16Speaker 4: Even get into the combine this year where we all
- 1:18:18Speaker 4: had to go through the snowstorm to get to Indianapolis.
- 1:18:21Speaker 4: H you know, just organizing so that Elliott and the
- 1:18:24Speaker 4: scouting staff can all get to Indianapolis. And all the
- 1:18:26Speaker 4: different flights and rental cars and all the different things
- 1:18:29Speaker 4: that you know, they had to jump through. I remember
- 1:18:32Speaker 4: my first time flying on the plane and the Patriots
- 1:18:35Speaker 4: are on the clock. So this is a longer story.
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: So let's just you know, with Nancy and all the
- 1:18:40Speaker 2: you know, the twenty dark years of Bill where we
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: were the enemy and you couldn't talk to anyone and
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: they couldn't talk to you. She was always, you know,
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: nice and kind and always love the newspaper, always making
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: sure there were copies down there for everybody.
- 1:18:56Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: So she wasn't, you know, like the others.
- 1:18:59Speaker 5: Yeah, now, I mean I she didn't. She didn't pick
- 1:19:02Speaker 5: my change my flight. But when I got to Indy,
- 1:19:05Speaker 5: she was there.
- 1:19:05Speaker 4: She's like hop in with us, Mike.
- 1:19:07Speaker 5: She's a sweetheart.
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: So the pick is in for the Patriots. Who is it?
- 1:19:11Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 1:19:12Speaker 4: I see who it is?
- 1:19:13Speaker 5: I have not seen it?
- 1:19:14Speaker 4: See yeah, who it is?
- 1:19:16Speaker 5: Position will be on the defensive side of the ball
- 1:19:21Speaker 5: in the secondary. I'm buying time right now. So someone
- 1:19:26Speaker 5: I thought we weren't saying now, I'm not gonna tip it.
- 1:19:30Speaker 5: I'll wait till we see it on on on Twitter.
- 1:19:33Speaker 5: But and I did know this is the time nough
- 1:19:35Speaker 5: where it's just I don't like I said, there's three
- 1:19:37Speaker 5: positions I think they need at this point.
- 1:19:40Speaker 12: B p A.
- 1:19:41Speaker 5: If there's a guy in a positions it's not even one
- 1:19:43Speaker 5: of those, but you really like them, go for it.
- 1:19:47Speaker 4: Okay, So it should be this position. So you got
- 1:19:52Speaker 4: your depth, all right?
- 1:19:53Speaker 5: So it's out by Jordan Schultz, it's a wake Forest cornerback.
- 1:19:55Speaker 5: Karen Prunty. Prunty, Yeah, carry did.
- 1:19:59Speaker 4: I don't even I think this guy's in the beast.
- 1:20:01Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie to you, which is a first
- 1:20:04Speaker 4: for for Dan Brugler. I'm not super familiar with him either.
- 1:20:08Speaker 4: I I know that they had him in for a
- 1:20:09Speaker 4: pre draft visit and it wasn't There weren't many teams
- 1:20:13Speaker 4: that you know, had him in for visits. I think
- 1:20:15Speaker 4: he only had a couple. He played some safety, if
- 1:20:19Speaker 4: I remember correctly. So I don't know if he's going
- 1:20:21Speaker 4: to be a corner or if he's going to be
- 1:20:22Speaker 4: a safety at the next level. But you know, this
- 1:20:25Speaker 4: is a guy that we kind of were talking about, right,
- 1:20:29Speaker 4: you know, cornerback depth, safety depth, maybe special teams, you know,
- 1:20:33Speaker 4: I would say most likely, but definitely sort of a
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: hidden gem.
- 1:20:41Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, there is some film with him if you're interested.
- 1:20:46Speaker 5: From Wake forest on on the tweet machine. Had had
- 1:20:49Speaker 5: four visits during the pre draft process, one with the Patriots,
- 1:20:53Speaker 5: So he is in the.
- 1:20:53Speaker 4: Beast, but he's uh, he's in there as a priority
- 1:20:56Speaker 4: free agent and he does not have a profile.
- 1:20:58Speaker 3: Yeah, he's among the best of the rest, is he not?
- 1:21:00Speaker 3: Because I'm looking at the cornerbacks and he's not on
- 1:21:04Speaker 3: my top forty two.
- 1:21:06Speaker 4: Yeah, this is cornerback fifty seven. Again, this is just
- 1:21:09Speaker 4: Dane's rankings. Yeah, yeah, and he's a He has him
- 1:21:13Speaker 4: as a UDFA grade in his and doesn't even have
- 1:21:17Speaker 4: strengths and weaknesses.
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: Yeah, on our lads, you know, they ranked from ten
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: to zero and the lowest grade is a two point five.
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: He's at a two point nine to two.
- 1:21:30Speaker 3: So he's got to be a special teams guy with
- 1:21:32Speaker 3: some with some traits that they think can can contribute
- 1:21:35Speaker 3: in special teams.
- 1:21:36Speaker 5: Yeah, four, four, five, forty nothing you know, too special.
- 1:21:39Speaker 5: But it does look like he has some size to him.
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: So does he return kicks at all or anything like that.
- 1:21:44Speaker 12: No.
- 1:21:44Speaker 4: The week into that I remember about him because they
- 1:21:46Speaker 4: did have him in for a pre draft visit was
- 1:21:49Speaker 4: that he played a little bit of both safety and
- 1:21:51Speaker 4: cornerback in college. So maybe special teams guy, maybe some
- 1:21:57Speaker 4: depth on the roster at you know, maybe both of
- 1:21:59Speaker 4: those positions, one those positions. I guess we'll see where
- 1:22:02Speaker 4: they end up playing him. But you know, someone that
- 1:22:05Speaker 4: is pretty off the beaten path. They picked the guy that,
- 1:22:09Speaker 4: I mean when he doesn't even have it right up
- 1:22:10Speaker 4: in the that's when you.
- 1:22:12Speaker 5: Know that goes is now, Like we have people we
- 1:22:15Speaker 5: work with who have to are scrambling to find highlights.
- 1:22:18Speaker 3: Some random guy that this is gonna be why we're
- 1:22:20Speaker 3: going to be hearing about this week.
- 1:22:21Speaker 5: All right, and Matista, if you're listening, don't text me
- 1:22:23Speaker 5: for an expert announces.
- 1:22:25Speaker 3: Right now, let's not be making it up off the
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: top of.
- 1:22:29Speaker 4: I'm surprised a little bit just the fact that, you know,
- 1:22:32Speaker 4: there's some linebackers especially that are so on board. Now
- 1:22:35Speaker 4: they have three six round picks, so maybe they feel
- 1:22:37Speaker 4: like the some of those linebackers are are going to
- 1:22:39Speaker 4: make it to them in the sixth round. But you know, I,
- 1:22:43Speaker 4: I don't know, you know where this guy slots in
- 1:22:45Speaker 4: in terms of being able to contribute you know, on
- 1:22:48Speaker 4: the actual defense versus contributing on special teams. But you know,
- 1:22:52Speaker 4: whether it was Perkins, you know, Aiden Fisher, Jack Kelly,
- 1:22:57Speaker 4: Deontay lost In, I know has some injury history, Red
- 1:23:01Speaker 4: Murdoch from Buffalo, like those are all guys that people
- 1:23:04Speaker 4: projected at that linebacker position that they thought we're going
- 1:23:07Speaker 4: to be able to be you know, decent players even
- 1:23:09Speaker 4: at safety. You know, guys like VJ. Payin is still available,
- 1:23:13Speaker 4: Bishop Fitzgerald, Lewis Moore. So I thought that there were
- 1:23:17Speaker 4: some guys that actually could still potentially contribute, you know,
- 1:23:21Speaker 4: on defense, that it was still available, and they went
- 1:23:23Speaker 4: with with Prunty, who I'm not super familiar with.
- 1:23:27Speaker 2: Okay, well they it'll be interesting to hear, is it
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: Elliott that's going to talk today? Yes, So I'm sure
- 1:23:33Speaker 2: you know that'll be the question, what did what do
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: you know about this guy? Why do you like him?
- 1:23:38Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: Why did you pick him in the fifth round? So
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: we'll say about that. So now the next pick is
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: how long.
- 1:23:47Speaker 5: I think they're the tenth in the next round, so
- 1:23:50Speaker 5: it's uh not to not too long. It is we're
- 1:23:54Speaker 5: one seventy two and they got to get ninety one
- 1:23:56Speaker 5: ninety one, so about nineteen picks. Ye picks in yah,
- 1:24:01Speaker 5: we go.
- 1:24:03Speaker 3: In the next two picks, So.
- 1:24:05Speaker 5: He might make we might make it to those maybe me,
- 1:24:08Speaker 5: I don't know, but it is interesting. This is just
- 1:24:11Speaker 5: another day three cornerback Marcella's style Kobe Minor, uh, now
- 1:24:17Speaker 5: you add punty to that mix. Brandon Crossley was a
- 1:24:19Speaker 5: practice squad guy last year. Can someone emerge from that group?
- 1:24:22Speaker 5: Can someone? I thought last year Mark Marcello's style actually
- 1:24:24Speaker 5: was starting to show a little bit.
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: This a lot like Kobe Minor to me in my mind,
- 1:24:29Speaker 3: like probably has some fish. They think he can play
- 1:24:33Speaker 3: on special teams and then we'll see, you know, like
- 1:24:37Speaker 3: Marcellus dial and I know, like people laugh at me
- 1:24:39Speaker 3: because I'm so disinterested in like these kinds of things.
- 1:24:43Speaker 3: But he developed into a really really good guy on
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: the punting, like a really good vice guy.
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:24:49Speaker 3: Yeah, And that was a hole that they they thought
- 1:24:52Speaker 3: enough to fill out. I think that's kind of what
- 1:24:54Speaker 3: led to Chucky Trees when they went out and got
- 1:24:56Speaker 3: Charles Woods early in the year. They needed a guy
- 1:24:58Speaker 3: that could fill that kind of role. You know, we'll
- 1:25:02Speaker 3: see what kind of skills, you know, once he has
- 1:25:05Speaker 3: I'm not This is no question the guy that I
- 1:25:08Speaker 3: did not on my radar at all.
- 1:25:09Speaker 4: Yeah, barely on Danes radar. Yeah.
- 1:25:13Speaker 2: I'm not here to.
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: Trash a pick of a player that I'm not familiar.
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: You know what.
- 1:25:17Speaker 4: I'll say this, and you know, because I rattled off
- 1:25:19Speaker 4: some guys that I liked that were still available in
- 1:25:22Speaker 4: this range, it's not quite this. You know, I knew
- 1:25:24Speaker 4: who Craig Woodson was, and I knew a little bit
- 1:25:26Speaker 4: more about him, but Craig Woodson was the one pick
- 1:25:28Speaker 4: last year where I felt like they went off the
- 1:25:30Speaker 4: beaten path and against consensus, he ended up being one
- 1:25:34Speaker 4: of the best picks of the draft for them last year.
- 1:25:36Speaker 4: I don't know if this is going to be Craig Woodson.
- 1:25:38Speaker 4: I'm not saying that, but you know, the Patriots they
- 1:25:41Speaker 4: have a little bit of rope with me because of
- 1:25:43Speaker 4: the Craig Woodson thing that you know, maybe they see
- 1:25:46Speaker 4: a player differently, they have a different evaluation and a
- 1:25:48Speaker 4: different grade on him, and uh, you know, they they're
- 1:25:51Speaker 4: higher on him than everybody else's.
- 1:25:53Speaker 5: It is funny though, the gravesman you draft who.
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: I was hoping stop stop.
- 1:26:06Speaker 4: Now, we'll see.
- 1:26:07Speaker 5: But that's a position where they have a bunch of guys,
- 1:26:10Speaker 5: but can any of them play, can any of them contribute?
- 1:26:12Speaker 5: I don't really know whereas you know, linebacker. To Evan's point,
- 1:26:15Speaker 5: they don't really have a bunch of guys. Chad Muma, I.
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: Forgot about him.
- 1:26:19Speaker 5: Yeah, he was dressing late in the year, especially came
- 1:26:22Speaker 5: in as a special teams guy and he played a
- 1:26:24Speaker 5: little bit. I mean, he was a little bit more
- 1:26:26Speaker 5: highly touted, So you know, maybe they see some potential
- 1:26:28Speaker 5: in him.
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: I don't know, at least at least some of the depths.
- 1:26:30Speaker 3: Good point, Mike, that's another element of the because that's
- 1:26:33Speaker 3: what you're looking for, is another depth guy that can
- 1:26:35Speaker 3: play special teams and he was playing in that role
- 1:26:38Speaker 3: late in the year. Yep, maybe they liked what they saw.
- 1:26:40Speaker 4: Yeah, they saw those three six round picks. And you know,
- 1:26:43Speaker 4: some of the linebackers that I've been hyping up are
- 1:26:45Speaker 4: still on the board, and yeah, they're still going.
- 1:26:47Speaker 3: And I'm not gonna lie because I'm so immature. When
- 1:26:52Speaker 3: the Patriots sort of let go of you know, Jack
- 1:26:54Speaker 3: Gibbons and then decided to release Jolani Tavai, and you know,
- 1:26:59Speaker 3: one after another or breathlessly.
- 1:27:01Speaker 5: This is a big need. This is a big need.
- 1:27:04Speaker 3: You know, like everybody you know sort of overreacting to
- 1:27:07Speaker 3: like depth linebackers as a need. And then you know,
- 1:27:11Speaker 3: we all the three of us kind of had some
- 1:27:13Speaker 3: fun on April thirteenth when we had the Elliott Wolf
- 1:27:16Speaker 3: pre draft press conference and he specifically said, yeah, we'll
- 1:27:19Speaker 3: be looking at some of those Day three linebackers. And
- 1:27:23Speaker 3: you know, here we are in round five taking a
- 1:27:25Speaker 3: cornerback that no one's really overly familiar with. Obviously they
- 1:27:29Speaker 3: didn't see it as as big a need as everybody
- 1:27:32Speaker 3: else did.
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: And you know, whether it's you know, that big guy
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: in the middle like Tonga, or these linebackers that you
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: know we could use right now, you can be able
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: to get them off the street.
- 1:27:44Speaker 5: There's always options. This isn't the end of it.
- 1:27:47Speaker 3: Yeah, Tonga was a free agent. That was that was
- 1:27:50Speaker 3: an unrestricted free agent. He was off the street.
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: Now, well, yeah, but he was a seventh round pick
- 1:27:55Speaker 2: that he was available, that is what I'm saying.
- 1:27:57Speaker 4: No, he was.
- 1:27:58Speaker 3: He played for another team and they didn't resign them.
- 1:28:01Speaker 3: It's like that's like an office street free agentsy guys
- 1:28:03Speaker 3: out of the league.
- 1:28:04Speaker 2: And you just he's a jump but there'll be people available.
- 1:28:07Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I agree with your premise about Yeah, like
- 1:28:10Speaker 3: you can find these guys I should.
- 1:28:12Speaker 5: I mean even a nose tackle too. I think like
- 1:28:14Speaker 5: if they got out of the draft without one, and
- 1:28:15Speaker 5: even at this point expecting a nose tackle, they draft
- 1:28:17Speaker 5: to come in and beat the Tonga guy and rotate,
- 1:28:20Speaker 5: probably asking him a bit much. But you can always
- 1:28:23Speaker 5: there's always guys out there on the street that you
- 1:28:25Speaker 5: can try to find, especially at that position where you
- 1:28:27Speaker 5: really just need a two down with stuff.
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: Specific role, you know, a one dimensional player. But that's
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: all I need, you know.
- 1:28:34Speaker 4: I mean, even the nose tackles, there are still guys
- 1:28:36Speaker 4: out there.
- 1:28:37Speaker 5: Carl Davis remember him, like it was that his name,
- 1:28:39Speaker 5: Carl Davis, Carl he was nose tackles. Really, is that right?
- 1:28:42Speaker 5: I feel like I'm compe with Carlton. Yeah, no, I
- 1:28:45Speaker 5: know ninety eight.
- 1:28:47Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I know who you're talking about. There's still
- 1:28:52Speaker 4: some nose tackles available that I liked. And you know,
- 1:28:56Speaker 4: like I said earlier that that position is just so
- 1:28:58Speaker 4: specialized that are not going to be high draft picks
- 1:29:01Speaker 4: right when you're gonna play a run stuffing nose tackle
- 1:29:04Speaker 4: as it's like Kayden McDonald and he's like a dude.
- 1:29:06Speaker 3: Like he's, yeah, he's I'm going to be showing everybody
- 1:29:10Speaker 3: I'm the best player in this draft.
- 1:29:12Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:29:12Speaker 4: But like the Godfather, Dante Corleone, you know, tend to
- 1:29:16Speaker 4: call her called in about Tim Keenan. You know, these
- 1:29:19Speaker 4: are all guys that might just make it to their
- 1:29:20Speaker 4: picks in the sixth round. You know, some of these
- 1:29:22Speaker 4: linebackers and nose tackles.
- 1:29:24Speaker 3: Uh.
- 1:29:24Speaker 4: Corleone had a blood clots issue earlier on in his
- 1:29:28Speaker 4: college career, so maybe that has you know, been a
- 1:29:32Speaker 4: flag for some teams, has been flagged in the medical
- 1:29:35Speaker 4: process because I thought he was going to go ahead it,
- 1:29:37Speaker 4: you know, earlier than this. So maybe that is contributing there.
- 1:29:40Speaker 4: And even you know some of the guys like Xavian Harris,
- 1:29:44Speaker 4: who has some off field stuff, you know, for Sean Benny,
- 1:29:47Speaker 4: Like there's still some guys on the defensive line too,
- 1:29:50Speaker 4: So uh, you know, I think the sixth round still
- 1:29:53Speaker 4: has some value in it, uh.
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: Walker Walker from the Berks Hears. Let's get one thing straight.
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: Our roster is pretty staffed now with the addition of
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: AJ Brown and a stronger run game. It's looking pretty good.
- 1:30:04Speaker 2: But what's the biggest concern on offense?
- 1:30:07Speaker 5: If Drake may takes the leap forward in year two
- 1:30:10Speaker 5: of the system that he needs to make mental yeah,
- 1:30:13Speaker 5: I think that. I mean, I think that to me
- 1:30:14Speaker 5: will determine how good they are. How can you know
- 1:30:17Speaker 5: how they handled this year. It's gonna be tougher year
- 1:30:19Speaker 5: for them. They're probably gonna have more injuries than they
- 1:30:21Speaker 5: had last year. You know, games might not unfold all
- 1:30:24Speaker 5: in their favor where they're up ten to nothing and
- 1:30:26Speaker 5: playing from a position to strength. So I think if
- 1:30:28Speaker 5: Drake takes the step that they want him to take
- 1:30:31Speaker 5: and that they think he can take, then I think
- 1:30:33Speaker 5: that'll help them. I think that they've done a really
- 1:30:35Speaker 5: good job of filling a lot of holes in the roster.
- 1:30:37Speaker 3: I would not call this roster stacked. So my biggest
- 1:30:40Speaker 3: concern would be what I talked about about a half
- 1:30:44Speaker 3: hour ago. You address the pass catchers. Does your addressing
- 1:30:49Speaker 3: the guys that you addressed, do they work? And in
- 1:30:53Speaker 3: conjunction with that, do the guys that you have in place.
- 1:30:58Speaker 3: You know, we talked about how good everything was last year.
- 1:31:01Speaker 3: Mike keeps talking about like, you know, you played a
- 1:31:03Speaker 3: lot of games on your terms. Are those guys going
- 1:31:05Speaker 3: to be as good as they were last year or
- 1:31:07Speaker 3: did they level off a little bit? You know, like,
- 1:31:09Speaker 3: and it starts with Drake. Drake was an MVP last year.
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: Yep.
- 1:31:13Speaker 4: Does he level off? Does he play better? Well? Does
- 1:31:17Speaker 4: he take a step back? You know?
- 1:31:18Speaker 3: Maybe everybody says, you know, what we saw in the
- 1:31:21Speaker 3: playoffs that if you can sort of take away that
- 1:31:23Speaker 3: deep stuff and make him do it in a different
- 1:31:25Speaker 3: way and get you know, get in his face early
- 1:31:27Speaker 3: in games, you can kind of get them up. There's
- 1:31:29Speaker 3: a lot of different things that can happen.
- 1:31:31Speaker 4: Like, what are my concerns.
- 1:31:32Speaker 3: My concerns are AJ Brown's not AJ Brown anymore and
- 1:31:35Speaker 3: Romeo Dobbs is just a complimentary piece.
- 1:31:37Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I love that point, Paul, and I would
- 1:31:40Speaker 5: say I do wonder if that's how teams viewed Drake,
- 1:31:43Speaker 5: to say, take away the deep stuff from him, make
- 1:31:45Speaker 5: him read it out and take the take the underneath change.
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: We get bored the Patriots made it could have this way.
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: It could happen where the Patriots have not as good
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: a record this year as last year, but they're.
- 1:31:56Speaker 5: A better team. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, they.
- 1:31:58Speaker 2: Could be a better back this year, but not be
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: an MVP can Yeah yeah, you know, no, I could
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: happen too.
- 1:32:03Speaker 5: I think more than it could happen, I think there's
- 1:32:06Speaker 5: a very good chance that that it does happen.
- 1:32:08Speaker 3: And I would say if he plays better than he
- 1:32:11Speaker 3: played last year, he'll be an MVP candidate again, because
- 1:32:13Speaker 3: I don't know, he played at an exceptionally high.
- 1:32:15Speaker 5: Level last year. Yeah yeah, and especially if he's going
- 1:32:18Speaker 5: into Seattle, going into Kansas City, I mean tearing up
- 1:32:20Speaker 5: those teams, Like.
- 1:32:21Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, these are just concerns because he asked
- 1:32:25Speaker 3: for concerns. These are not things I'm expecting. I like
- 1:32:28Speaker 3: where the roster is, I like where they're headed. I
- 1:32:30Speaker 3: think the arrow was pointing up. But he's asking for
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: things that you I would worry that he levels off
- 1:32:35Speaker 3: a little bit and doesn't play as well as he
- 1:32:37Speaker 3: did last year because he played so well last year.
- 1:32:39Speaker 3: It's almost like, how could he possibly get better?
- 1:32:42Speaker 11: And I.
- 1:32:45Speaker 4: Still think it's the offensive line, Like he's a good
- 1:32:47Speaker 4: one too. It's a good one too.
- 1:32:49Speaker 5: They're all connected because you are making me open my mind,
- 1:32:52Speaker 5: like Campbell, if he doesn't don't mock me play the
- 1:32:54Speaker 5: first way he did the first fourteen weeks of the season.
- 1:32:57Speaker 4: He doesn't take a step forward.
- 1:33:00Speaker 2: Vera.
- 1:33:00Speaker 4: Tucker's got to stay healthy. You know, Jared Wilson's moving
- 1:33:03Speaker 4: into center. We think he's going to be better at
- 1:33:05Speaker 4: center than he was at guard.
- 1:33:06Speaker 3: But we don't know if he's going to be better
- 1:33:08Speaker 3: than Bradbury was at center.
- 1:33:09Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:33:10Speaker 4: And you know, then with Morgan Moses thirty five years old, well,
- 1:33:13Speaker 4: does he play seventeen games? Does he play seventeen games?
- 1:33:16Speaker 4: Does he play at the same level? Does Lomu have
- 1:33:18Speaker 4: to play more than you want him to have to
- 1:33:19Speaker 4: play as a rookie? I you know, I hear what
- 1:33:22Speaker 4: all you guys are saying about Drake May. But I
- 1:33:25Speaker 4: think Drake May established himself that he's going to be
- 1:33:27Speaker 4: playing at a pretty high level too.
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: But Mike is right, like they're all connected.
- 1:33:32Speaker 3: Yeah, Like you could make an argument that Drake May
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: played fine in the playoffs, but he had less time
- 1:33:38Speaker 3: to do it. Or you can make an argument and
- 1:33:39Speaker 3: said the offensive line was the same all year, but
- 1:33:43Speaker 3: Drake made him look better than they were in the
- 1:33:44Speaker 3: regular season. He couldn't do that in the playoffs. Depends
- 1:33:46Speaker 3: on your perspective.
- 1:33:47Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's all related, right, and you can compensate
- 1:33:50Speaker 5: for if the offensive line isn't quite as good, but
- 1:33:53Speaker 5: AJ Brown and Dobbs are excellent, and then that's going
- 1:33:57Speaker 5: to offset some of it.
- 1:33:58Speaker 4: You know, how does it all fit?
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: You could play the law of averages and be a
- 1:34:01Speaker 2: real down. Let's say everything worked out last year. The
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: odds are everything's not.
- 1:34:05Speaker 5: Going well and unfortunately, friend, like, I'm not going to
- 1:34:07Speaker 5: say that it's going to be it's going to be
- 1:34:11Speaker 5: more in the middle of the pack.
- 1:34:12Speaker 3: And that's your theory of you could be better this
- 1:34:15Speaker 3: year than you were last year and not win as
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: many games.
- 1:34:17Speaker 4: Right to me, that's that's schedule related. Their schedule and
- 1:34:22Speaker 4: is much harder and injury related to Yeah, yeah, their
- 1:34:25Speaker 4: schedule is much harder, and you know they're going to
- 1:34:27Speaker 4: be playing on much better team.
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: Russell and Florida. I was really hoping that we would
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: jump back into the fourth, but I'm assuming that they
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: feel the talent left isn't worth the move. That being said,
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: do you think that by the sixth round they start
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: using picks on UDFA guys that they like, you think
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: Taylor Green could be on their radar? At one seventy
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: one or if he slips to the sixth, Well.
- 1:34:47Speaker 4: I think kron Punty might have been a guy that
- 1:34:50Speaker 4: was closer to you, UDFA. And you know they talked
- 1:34:53Speaker 4: about the drop off in this draft. I mean the
- 1:34:55Speaker 4: fact that that's happening in the fifth round.
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: Well, I just thought of something with Elliott said, we
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: don't have Mike Rabel to do the recruiting for the UDFA,
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: we better maybe the thinking we might as well get
- 1:35:05Speaker 2: him now and not have to recruit them.
- 1:35:07Speaker 3: Do you have your numbers on your your fancy little
- 1:35:10Speaker 3: geek chart for them?
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: I'm sorry chart?
- 1:35:12Speaker 5: Yes, for what.
- 1:35:13Speaker 3: Number on how many players are currently on the roster?
- 1:35:17Speaker 5: You have an added I can tell actually hold on,
- 1:35:19Speaker 5: give me ten seconds a.
- 1:35:20Speaker 3: Right, yeah effort that. I also, I'm going to throw
- 1:35:23Speaker 3: this one to you. Well, Mike's doing his his geek count. Yes,
- 1:35:27Speaker 3: email just brought up Taylor Green. Are you interested in
- 1:35:29Speaker 3: the quarterback here and any of these last four picks?
- 1:35:32Speaker 4: I'd be fine with it. I think the backup quarterback
- 1:35:36Speaker 4: thing always goes one away. Taylor Green is like a
- 1:35:38Speaker 4: raw ball of clay. But that's a developmental pick. That's
- 1:35:40Speaker 4: Joe Milton is what that is.
- 1:35:42Speaker 3: I just meant the position in Jai.
- 1:35:44Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that, you know, I get that they
- 1:35:46Speaker 4: count on Tommy DeVito and they feel good about Tommy DeVito,
- 1:35:50Speaker 4: but I'd have no problem with it. Like, but the
- 1:35:52Speaker 4: question is is do you go with a guy like
- 1:35:54Speaker 4: Taylor Green, who's Joe Milton. I mean maybe not with
- 1:35:56Speaker 4: the arm talent, but the mobility and size and all
- 1:36:01Speaker 4: the you know, physical tools, or you know the kid
- 1:36:04Speaker 4: from Yukon who's like more of like that's just going
- 1:36:06Speaker 4: to be Chase Daniel, Like that's going to be your
- 1:36:08Speaker 4: classic NFL backup quarterback for the next ten years. I
- 1:36:12Speaker 4: think you had one pick the entire season last year.
- 1:36:15Speaker 4: You know, that's going to be that type of player.
- 1:36:17Speaker 4: You know, which direction would you rather go in in
- 1:36:19Speaker 4: terms of you know, getting I guess if you feel
- 1:36:21Speaker 4: good about de Vito, like maybe you take the chance
- 1:36:24Speaker 4: on the upside.
- 1:36:24Speaker 3: Another great name has a Kaya Mass.
- 1:36:27Speaker 4: I liked him. I had him on the big board.
- 1:36:29Speaker 4: I really liked him. I thought he was really smooth
- 1:36:31Speaker 4: in his pedal, silky smooth hips right flip and run.
- 1:36:36Speaker 4: Maybe not as good in man coverage right now, but
- 1:36:39Speaker 4: I thought he was a really good zone corner already.
- 1:36:42Speaker 5: I think I'm at seventy two, so seventy two for
- 1:36:45Speaker 5: the draft, So seventy six seventy two with eight picks, right,
- 1:36:50Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, that they haven't But you haven't counted
- 1:36:53Speaker 5: any draft picks yet. I didn't count I just did
- 1:36:54Speaker 5: seventy two.
- 1:36:55Speaker 3: Seventy two draft picks without draft, so that's eighty So
- 1:36:59Speaker 3: there is still them for some new DFAs. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:37:02Speaker 3: got ten more spots.
- 1:37:03Speaker 5: I'm I'm gonna double check that though, But I mean
- 1:37:05Speaker 5: it's you.
- 1:37:05Speaker 3: You're talking to eight to ten spots. Yeah, like you
- 1:37:08Speaker 3: know whether it's exact or not. So yeah, I mean,
- 1:37:11Speaker 3: I guess there is some room. I was kind of
- 1:37:13Speaker 3: thinking they wouldn't have a tremendous amount of room for
- 1:37:16Speaker 3: u DFAs this year because of the increase of the
- 1:37:19Speaker 3: caliber of the roster. You're in a better sets than
- 1:37:21Speaker 3: you were last year, but you still have room for
- 1:37:23Speaker 3: some That's how I.
- 1:37:24Speaker 4: Feel too, with you know, eleven draft picks going into
- 1:37:28Speaker 4: the draft. Yeah, it just felt like a lot, especially
- 1:37:30Speaker 4: in a draft but you know, less talent like this one.
- 1:37:34Speaker 4: And they seem like they kind of agreed because they
- 1:37:36Speaker 4: traded you know, their two fourth round picks to move
- 1:37:38Speaker 4: up in the first two days and kind of consolidated
- 1:37:41Speaker 4: the picks a little bit.
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: Uh Don and Philly. Everyone is saying that the AFC
- 1:37:45Speaker 2: East is cooking in this draft. I'm not worried about
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: the Jets or Dolphins, but the Bills seem to be
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: stockpiling slot receivers with the move tight ends on their roster.
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: What is their goal?
- 1:37:55Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't we then' that's some commentary.
- 1:37:57Speaker 3: I don't love some of the I love some of
- 1:37:59Speaker 3: the stuff that the Bills have done. I don't hate it,
- 1:38:01Speaker 3: but I don't I would have looked for more of
- 1:38:04Speaker 3: a dynamic presence at the receiver position than just another
- 1:38:07Speaker 3: slot kind of guy. But I do think the Jets
- 1:38:10Speaker 3: have had a nice draft, and we talked a lot
- 1:38:12Speaker 3: about the Jets yesterday. I think if and it's a
- 1:38:16Speaker 3: big if because he's coming off a horrific season, if
- 1:38:19Speaker 3: Gino Smith gives them passable quarterback play, I think they
- 1:38:23Speaker 3: have the makings of a decent offense. And they're trying
- 1:38:26Speaker 3: to rebuild the defense on a fly after really gutting
- 1:38:29Speaker 3: it last year with Quinn Williams and Sauce Gardner and
- 1:38:31Speaker 3: all those guys leaving. I think if they if Gino
- 1:38:37Speaker 3: Smith has a decent year, I don't think them knocking
- 1:38:39Speaker 3: on the door of you know, six seven wins, you know,
- 1:38:45Speaker 3: in other words, not just two that you just pencil
- 1:38:47Speaker 3: in automatic like you did this year, because they were
- 1:38:49Speaker 3: so bad this year, they weren't beating you next year.
- 1:38:53Speaker 3: I could see them being in a position where if
- 1:38:55Speaker 3: you don't take if you don't take them seriously and
- 1:38:57Speaker 3: you don't show up to play, you could be in
- 1:38:59Speaker 3: some trouble.
- 1:39:00Speaker 5: Can I bring up one other position? We haven't talked
- 1:39:01Speaker 5: about his quarterback? Like do they need a third quarterback? Here?
- 1:39:04Speaker 5: In one of these lives.
- 1:39:04Speaker 3: When you were counting your geek chart, I transitioned to
- 1:39:08Speaker 3: Evan and I did sorry because the email had just said,
- 1:39:13Speaker 3: Taylor Green, what's one of these picks down here? And
- 1:39:16Speaker 3: I was thinking like a Haines king, you know, which
- 1:39:18Speaker 3: is kind of like my TV was the.
- 1:39:20Speaker 4: Ability Garrettnsmeyer still available for some reason? Maybe the back
- 1:39:23Speaker 4: thing is why he's not drafted yet.
- 1:39:26Speaker 3: I'm surprised by that because I thought he was more
- 1:39:28Speaker 3: talented than a lot of guys that have gotten taken.
- 1:39:30Speaker 4: Me too, Taylor and Green, is you know we just
- 1:39:32Speaker 4: talked about Cole Payton is kind of in the same
- 1:39:34Speaker 4: category as Joe Fugano from Yukon is like pure back.
- 1:39:38Speaker 3: No part of is the North Dakota State kid that's
- 1:39:42Speaker 3: the left the lefty.
- 1:39:43Speaker 4: I don't like him at all. I don't get it.
- 1:39:45Speaker 3: And this this will be my Greg Bernard moment it
- 1:39:48Speaker 3: turns on to get drafted in the when he turns
- 1:39:50Speaker 3: out to.
- 1:39:50Speaker 5: Be a stud. You guys could throw.
- 1:39:54Speaker 3: It's rare to find guys when you watch their highlights
- 1:39:58Speaker 3: that you're not impressed with. Yeah, and I watched his
- 1:40:01Speaker 3: highlights and I was like, Okay, there's nobody there when
- 1:40:03Speaker 3: he ran for a touchdown, Like, Okay.
- 1:40:05Speaker 4: The Haines King one's interesting King.
- 1:40:07Speaker 2: I love.
- 1:40:08Speaker 4: I think Haynes King's kind of taste some Hill Like.
- 1:40:11Speaker 4: I don't know if he's like actually a quarterback. No,
- 1:40:14Speaker 4: Taylor Green might not be a quarterback.
- 1:40:16Speaker 3: He's a hair better than Tebow as a as a passer.
- 1:40:19Speaker 4: Yeah, they read a triple option. They you know, they
- 1:40:22Speaker 4: run the ball a Ton.
- 1:40:23Speaker 2: And he unbelt Taylor and Green.
- 1:40:27Speaker 5: Uh.
- 1:40:28Speaker 4: Some people think you know, I said, you know, remember
- 1:40:30Speaker 4: Traill Prior, Like Trell Prior like switched to wide receiver
- 1:40:33Speaker 4: and actually had a couple of good years as a
- 1:40:35Speaker 4: wide receiver. If it doesn't work out for Tailing Green
- 1:40:37Speaker 4: at quarterback, he could potentially do that. So do you
- 1:40:40Speaker 4: want to do that thing with the athlete or do
- 1:40:41Speaker 4: you want like Diego Pavia, who's going to be a
- 1:40:44Speaker 4: ten year backup in the league.
- 1:40:46Speaker 3: Right, Pavia is going to be one of those guys
- 1:40:48Speaker 3: that I think could cost some issues as a backup
- 1:40:51Speaker 3: with his mouth. Oh yeah, he's I mean, he's likely.
- 1:40:56Speaker 3: He's extremely self confident, and I think that could cause
- 1:40:59Speaker 3: issues as a backup up. Yeah, another tremendous college player, though.
- 1:41:05Speaker 2: Let's see Scott says it was nice of the Patriots
- 1:41:08Speaker 2: to let Bill make the pick at one seventy one. Good.
- 1:41:13Speaker 5: That's funny.
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: At the eight five five Pats five hundred the hot line,
- 1:41:17Speaker 2: James is in North Carolina? What's up? James? James? James
- 1:41:24Speaker 2: James in North Carolina? Muss has a player from North
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: Carolina been drafted yet?
- 1:41:31Speaker 15: Not?
- 1:41:32Speaker 2: I'm aware the second believe Jordan Hudson's still available.
- 1:41:36Speaker 5: Checked by college here.
- 1:41:37Speaker 4: Let's go serious.
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: Oh that Jordan.
- 1:41:40Speaker 3: There's a player named Jordan Hudson. You didn't know this,
- 1:41:42Speaker 3: it's been like all.
- 1:41:43Speaker 2: Over from North Carolina.
- 1:41:45Speaker 4: Oh, I don't think. I don't remember this being a.
- 1:41:50Speaker 5: Big now Carolina, Thaddius Dixon, Marcus Allen and have all
- 1:41:54Speaker 5: not been drafted.
- 1:41:55Speaker 3: We're all transferred out on HIV. Din'd you listen to Lombardi?
- 1:41:58Speaker 4: I was gonna say, Okay, Michael Party.
- 1:42:04Speaker 2: Anthony Seattle, do you guys think that attitude slash nastiness
- 1:42:09Speaker 2: is a bigger factor on defense and athleticism is more
- 1:42:12Speaker 2: important on a modern day offense. That could explain the
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: first three picks a little bit.
- 1:42:17Speaker 5: That's what I thought last night. I mean, like, I'd
- 1:42:19Speaker 5: much rather have a you know, an offensive player that
- 1:42:21Speaker 5: you're like, we got to bring some of that out
- 1:42:22Speaker 5: and him, then you know, a defensive player that's just
- 1:42:26Speaker 5: more Traditionally, usually the defensive guys are a little bit tougher,
- 1:42:29Speaker 5: but you know, there's always those guards that we talked
- 1:42:31Speaker 5: about last night.
- 1:42:31Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think there's toughness on both sides
- 1:42:34Speaker 3: of the line, for sure, But I need athletes on
- 1:42:38Speaker 3: defense too. You know, is there a better athlete on
- 1:42:40Speaker 3: the Patriots than Christian Gonzales?
- 1:42:41Speaker 17: No?
- 1:42:42Speaker 4: No, there isn't.
- 1:42:43Speaker 5: Poetry and most I.
- 1:42:44Speaker 4: Still feel watch practice moves different than everybody else on
- 1:42:48Speaker 4: the team. Yeah yeah, and in a good way. That's
- 1:42:50Speaker 4: not a bad thing.
- 1:42:51Speaker 5: I just I just don't want to get carried away
- 1:42:53Speaker 5: with the Rabel thing of you know, the violence, the
- 1:42:57Speaker 5: violence and he's not violent, and I order, you know,
- 1:43:01Speaker 5: fixating your look. I get it. It's a type. They
- 1:43:04Speaker 5: like it, they want to play with that style. But
- 1:43:06Speaker 5: you can also incorporate players who maybe aren't innately always
- 1:43:10Speaker 5: driving guys into the ground and given extra business.
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: And did any research on the excellent lineman who was
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: more technical than physical what we were talking about, you know,
- 1:43:21Speaker 2: were there some great linemen were known for their technically I.
- 1:43:25Speaker 5: Should have done how while I was trying to sleep
- 1:43:27Speaker 5: last night, that would be that would probably.
- 1:43:29Speaker 4: I feel like I have a couple. But I also
- 1:43:31Speaker 4: like feel like it's not it's doing them a disservice
- 1:43:33Speaker 4: to say that they didn't know.
- 1:43:34Speaker 3: It, because I'm thinking of like Hall of Fame.
- 1:43:37Speaker 4: Tech Joe Thomas, Like Joe Thomas was an absolute technician.
- 1:43:40Speaker 5: That's one of them.
- 1:43:41Speaker 3: I was thinking like Johnathan Ougden Orlando, like these guys
- 1:43:43Speaker 3: were so good with their Trent Williams, you know, Trent
- 1:43:47Speaker 3: Williams has a nasty street. Yeah, but he's such he's
- 1:43:50Speaker 3: so good. He's almost never out of position. And you
- 1:43:52Speaker 3: don't need to be you know what I mean, you
- 1:43:53Speaker 3: don't need to be like one of these guys that's like.
- 1:43:56Speaker 5: Playing to the right, right, right, a couple of shots.
- 1:44:00Speaker 3: Guy, you're your favorite guy, Tyrone Smith.
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: Right, he made it look easy. Yeah.
- 1:44:04Speaker 3: When you're really good and you're really skilled, you don't
- 1:44:07Speaker 3: like you're nasty.
- 1:44:08Speaker 2: Yeah right, he made it look easy.
- 1:44:09Speaker 3: But those guys were nasty to thank. Evan put it right.
- 1:44:13Speaker 3: You don't want to give it's like a disservice to it.
- 1:44:15Speaker 5: We always call the extra business in hockey, like the
- 1:44:17Speaker 5: guys who there's this one senior defenseman who didn't play much,
- 1:44:19Speaker 5: you know, and so he's always kind of scrappy and
- 1:44:21Speaker 5: just every practice like man Whitey his name is John
- 1:44:24Speaker 5: white White he's giving extra business, like in front of
- 1:44:26Speaker 5: the nets, like just stop, what are you doing?
- 1:44:28Speaker 4: You know, like just like the cross check.
- 1:44:31Speaker 5: Yeah, h Whitey Yeah.
- 1:44:37Speaker 2: Zach and Chelmsford, thank you. Thank you for the amazing
- 1:44:41Speaker 2: coverage through the weekend. When we talk about uh Yakis
- 1:44:45Speaker 2: being a violent edge player.
- 1:44:47Speaker 4: What we're gonna get it right. We're going to get
- 1:44:50Speaker 4: there and.
- 1:44:51Speaker 2: Talk about Akis being a violent edge player. Can we
- 1:44:54Speaker 2: break down what makes him different than key On White?
- 1:44:57Speaker 5: Oh?
- 1:44:59Speaker 4: Yeah, light, Well, he's certainly lighter. I mean key On
- 1:45:01Speaker 4: White was two hundred and eighty pounds. Acus is two sixty. Uh,
- 1:45:06Speaker 4: you know, lighter, lighter on his feet.
- 1:45:08Speaker 5: More bend to him.
- 1:45:09Speaker 12: You know.
- 1:45:09Speaker 4: Ke White was just very stiff.
- 1:45:11Speaker 5: It was right into the you know, just bull rush
- 1:45:13Speaker 5: every time and sometimes he got him, especially with guards.
- 1:45:16Speaker 5: That's when he was affected, when he could run into
- 1:45:17Speaker 5: a guy and just push him back into the quarterback.
- 1:45:20Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean I wouldn't say that Akus is bendy,
- 1:45:22Speaker 4: like he's not a speed rusher. He's not a bendy
- 1:45:25Speaker 4: rusher necessarily.
- 1:45:26Speaker 5: But agree, he's.
- 1:45:27Speaker 4: Twenty pounds lighter than Keon White.
- 1:45:29Speaker 2: He's eleven sacks last year. Kean White never had that
- 1:45:32Speaker 2: no in his years.
- 1:45:33Speaker 5: No, and he was and key On White was a project.
- 1:45:35Speaker 4: He didn't know exactly was.
- 1:45:38Speaker 2: He was going in and he remained that way.
- 1:45:40Speaker 5: Did you guys watch him at all with with san
- 1:45:42Speaker 5: fran I know he had a couple of places he
- 1:45:43Speaker 5: got shot.
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: I hope heah, But.
- 1:45:46Speaker 5: It seemed like It wasn't like they unlocked them either.
- 1:45:48Speaker 5: You know, I just he had a great face. He
- 1:45:50Speaker 5: looked the part saw somebody first guy off the bus.
- 1:45:53Speaker 5: But you know, it just did never add it.
- 1:45:55Speaker 2: Up for me. Timmy California subject line, stop being nice
- 1:45:59Speaker 2: to Elie. It looks like karen punty. You got it.
- 1:46:03Speaker 2: It's not punty. Karenny was on the raidar of the
- 1:46:06Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers. He barely played at Kansas before transferring
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: to Wake Forest. Why didn't we pick Aiden Fisher from
- 1:46:12Speaker 2: Indiana or Adam Randall from Clemson? Is Elliott making good decisions?
- 1:46:17Speaker 4: I mean, they still have three more picks in the
- 1:46:19Speaker 4: sixth round, so I'm not gonna get upset about something
- 1:46:21Speaker 4: they haven't done yet. You know, let's see what their
- 1:46:23Speaker 4: picks are in the sixth round. This pick was definitely
- 1:46:27Speaker 4: a little bit weird. Now I'll go full Bellichick on you.
- 1:46:30Speaker 4: It is the fifth round. The fifth round is the
- 1:46:33Speaker 4: least valuable round of the entire draft. Why is that
- 1:46:35Speaker 4: just a way to drop off works in the draft?
- 1:46:38Speaker 4: You know, once you get outside the top one fifty,
- 1:46:40Speaker 4: now you're in that as Deuce likes to call it,
- 1:46:42Speaker 4: like a doughnut between like you know, guys that are
- 1:46:46Speaker 4: UDFA grades and then guys that have late round grades
- 1:46:49Speaker 4: on them. So it's the least valuable draft round. So
- 1:46:53Speaker 4: there you go. There's your col Payton to the Eagles.
- 1:46:56Speaker 4: Good luck, Philly, Howie, Howie.
- 1:46:59Speaker 5: Just so I wasn't prepared for that.
- 1:47:04Speaker 4: Bill always used to draft the special teamers in this round.
- 1:47:07Speaker 4: You always used to draft his long snappers, covere bases
- 1:47:12Speaker 4: like all that different type of stuff because it it, uh, analytically,
- 1:47:16Speaker 4: is the least valuable round of the draft.
- 1:47:18Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, interesting.
- 1:47:21Speaker 4: We're almost out.
- 1:47:21Speaker 5: I see then. This is such a familiar thing for
- 1:47:24Speaker 5: me watching the draft when you finally see the little
- 1:47:26Speaker 5: any at the end of the ticker and it's slowly.
- 1:47:29Speaker 4: The problem is is that they have one and one
- 1:47:32Speaker 4: ninety eight, so they have picks and quick session coming
- 1:47:35Speaker 4: up here, then to twelve.
- 1:47:38Speaker 3: So you're telling me we're going beyond four o'clock, aren't you.
- 1:47:40Speaker 3: At least at least we should probably stay for those
- 1:47:43Speaker 3: two picks.
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: Yeah, Butcher Dorchester assuming to get a J. Brown, a
- 1:47:47Speaker 2: run stopping nose tackle, a linebacker, and a punter.
- 1:47:51Speaker 3: A lot when they have left, I really don't want
- 1:47:53Speaker 3: to draft.
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: It's another thing, I get, what would you say then,
- 1:47:57Speaker 2: is the biggest position. So here's the thing. Forget about
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: the AJ Brown. If you're gonna get a run stopping
- 1:48:04Speaker 2: nose tackle and free agency, okay, But if you think
- 1:48:07Speaker 2: you're going to fill needs with what's left and they're
- 1:48:10Speaker 2: gonna come in and play and make an impact this year,
- 1:48:12Speaker 2: that's that's that's a reach. That's a reach just because
- 1:48:16Speaker 2: you draft a position in the sixth or seventh round.
- 1:48:19Speaker 2: That's not filling a need. That is not filling a need,
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: that's just adding bodies to camp.
- 1:48:26Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, oh yeah.
- 1:48:28Speaker 4: Now this is for not filling needs at this point
- 1:48:30Speaker 4: in the draft. Right now, if they draft somebody in
- 1:48:32Speaker 4: the sixth round that people like me, then losers like
- 1:48:36Speaker 4: me or Dane or whatever felt like were actually really
- 1:48:40Speaker 4: good value in the sixth round. It happens. I mean,
- 1:48:43Speaker 4: Booty and Pop are examples of guys that you know
- 1:48:46Speaker 4: outperform their draft stock. So I'm not good sixth round value.
- 1:48:49Speaker 4: Both of those. I don't write off the sixth round.
- 1:48:50Speaker 4: And I mean, obviously Mike on Win who is great,
- 1:48:52Speaker 4: Tom Brady is Tom Brady, you know, but uh, you
- 1:48:56Speaker 4: know that it does happen.
- 1:48:58Speaker 3: So I'm not, of course, draft Kaisham Booty and Tomario
- 1:49:01Speaker 3: Douglas and say we address wide receiver.
- 1:49:04Speaker 2: As of right now, as of this moment. If you
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: feel the Patriots still have a need or needs, you're
- 1:49:09Speaker 2: gonna have to do it in free agency if you
- 1:49:11Speaker 2: want to help it this year. And it's probably not
- 1:49:14Speaker 2: a permanent fix. It's just a band aid. Yeah, you know,
- 1:49:18Speaker 2: so that's now all. Every once in a while you
- 1:49:22Speaker 2: do find find that diamond in the rough in the
- 1:49:24Speaker 2: late rounds and it happens, but it usually doesn't happen
- 1:49:28Speaker 2: right away. It takes a year or so for that
- 1:49:30Speaker 2: person to emerge.
- 1:49:31Speaker 4: I would say it usually happens because of red flags
- 1:49:35Speaker 4: that are outside of like their actual skill on the field.
- 1:49:39Speaker 4: Pop Douglas went to Liberty. He's five foot eight, you know,
- 1:49:43Speaker 4: slot receiver that went to Liberty and played out a
- 1:49:45Speaker 4: smaller school. Kaishan Boudi had the ankle injury in college
- 1:49:48Speaker 4: and had a bad way about things in college at LSU.
- 1:49:52Speaker 4: So like Kaishan Boudi talent wise, was not a six
- 1:49:56Speaker 4: round pick. He just had the ankle. He had some
- 1:49:59Speaker 4: off feel stuff and so it knocks him down in
- 1:50:01Speaker 4: the round to the sixth round. You know, if you
- 1:50:04Speaker 4: take a fire. I mean, I'll give you an example.
- 1:50:05Speaker 4: Harold Perkins hasn't been drafted yet. So if you take
- 1:50:08Speaker 4: a fire on a guy like Carol Perkins in the
- 1:50:10Speaker 4: sixth round, he might hit because he has the talent,
- 1:50:13Speaker 4: he just has some question marks.
- 1:50:18Speaker 5: Sorry, Fred, I was just gonna say, I just look
- 1:50:20Speaker 5: real quick at like a current available nose tackles, and
- 1:50:23Speaker 5: there's a bunch of old guys out there that you
- 1:50:25Speaker 5: can get on a one year deal, like you know,
- 1:50:27Speaker 5: DJ Readers of the World, day Kwon Jones. I mean,
- 1:50:29Speaker 5: you know, nobody's going to be a long term edition,
- 1:50:31Speaker 5: but much more to grab a guy like that on
- 1:50:34Speaker 5: a one year deal.
- 1:50:35Speaker 3: That's what Freddy was talking to.
- 1:50:36Speaker 5: Draft right than to draft. Like you said, fred draft
- 1:50:38Speaker 5: the sixth round.
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: What they did with Tong, you.
- 1:50:40Speaker 3: Can always get a nose Scotch. Well then that was
- 1:50:42Speaker 3: but again, like Tongo was like a first day of
- 1:50:44Speaker 3: free agency signing.
- 1:50:45Speaker 5: This is like we can just get a guy. Yeah,
- 1:50:47Speaker 5: Like I mean, he's probably gonna be thirty two and
- 1:50:49Speaker 5: you know, not going to be the answer forever.
- 1:50:51Speaker 4: But I still like some of the nose tackles. Yeah,
- 1:50:53Speaker 4: like give me give that would would give me the
- 1:50:59Speaker 4: Godfather and this X round don't need to nose tackle
- 1:51:01Speaker 4: after that. He's got it about the blood clots. The
- 1:51:06Speaker 4: blood clots, we'll just be.
- 1:51:09Speaker 3: Making all kinds of derogatory comments about Italians and no
- 1:51:13Speaker 3: get and my daughter's wedding, everybody asking everybody be doing
- 1:51:18Speaker 3: stuff like that.
- 1:51:19Speaker 4: You asked me to stop the run, you know, but
- 1:51:22Speaker 4: we can't do that. Let's see what happens if it's
- 1:51:25Speaker 4: another nationality.
- 1:51:27Speaker 5: You can make fun of.
- 1:51:27Speaker 3: The Scottish without repercussions that.
- 1:51:36Speaker 4: I was gonna say, I'm Scottish.
- 1:51:37Speaker 5: You can make fun of the Scottish all you want
- 1:51:39Speaker 5: to boot snout.
- 1:51:42Speaker 17: The world?
- 1:51:44Speaker 2: Excuse me, Nedd in North Carolina, Little Neddy wants to
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: go back to the draft. Did you put a patio
- 1:51:53Speaker 2: swing chair on the list. It's a solid three for me.
- 1:51:56Speaker 5: That's nice, that's relaxing.
- 1:51:59Speaker 3: How about your I don't live in a mansion.
- 1:52:01Speaker 5: No, you don't have anything that don't have room for
- 1:52:03Speaker 5: a patio swing chair.
- 1:52:05Speaker 3: No, But I I think you're also we you know,
- 1:52:09Speaker 3: we need to make a distinction between indoor and outdoor
- 1:52:12Speaker 3: furniture to yeah, and then like exactly we got to
- 1:52:14Speaker 3: identify furniture. I'm not big on the TV as part
- 1:52:18Speaker 3: of your furniture. Like it's a sofa, it's a love seat,
- 1:52:21Speaker 3: it's a recliner, you know.
- 1:52:23Speaker 5: Yeah, I will say I don't feel I've found the
- 1:52:25Speaker 5: truly perfect piece of outdoor furniture that I really love
- 1:52:28Speaker 5: and am comfortable and it can just go and sit
- 1:52:30Speaker 5: out on the deck and relax, like I haven't found
- 1:52:32Speaker 5: that thing.
- 1:52:34Speaker 2: Like Paul puts his cushions in everything.
- 1:52:37Speaker 5: I know, I respect. I can't do that now my cushions.
- 1:52:39Speaker 2: So if you're not going to do that, you have
- 1:52:41Speaker 2: to buy like these the furniture.
- 1:52:45Speaker 3: I don't put the cushions in every night I put
- 1:52:47Speaker 3: I put a cover over the whole sofa every night.
- 1:52:50Speaker 3: Yeah it doesn't get it's ridiculous, But I don't put
- 1:52:52Speaker 3: the correct the cushions in.
- 1:52:53Speaker 2: All right, Well you cover them up every night.
- 1:52:55Speaker 4: I don't want. I don't let them get wet every.
- 1:52:57Speaker 2: It's a responsibility.
- 1:52:58Speaker 4: I wish furniture, But then you sit on there, you
- 1:53:01Speaker 4: get soaked.
- 1:53:01Speaker 5: I know if I respect it, But what I'm.
- 1:53:03Speaker 2: Saying, you're right, come on, and that's what happens because
- 1:53:09Speaker 2: I have the cheap pillows, but if you buy the
- 1:53:11Speaker 2: really expensive pillows, the water just wicks right off. They don't.
- 1:53:15Speaker 2: It doesn't absorb.
- 1:53:16Speaker 3: So I have like a little mold, right, I have
- 1:53:19Speaker 3: a little bar set it like it's like the wicker material.
- 1:53:23Speaker 3: When that gets wet, it doesn't feel like it's wet,
- 1:53:26Speaker 3: but it's sod. You sit on that, you got to
- 1:53:27Speaker 3: like tip it and all the water comes out, but
- 1:53:30Speaker 3: then it drives up right away once you do that,
- 1:53:32Speaker 3: but then you sit down, you get that.
- 1:53:33Speaker 2: Yeah, but no one likes the questions I have, Like
- 1:53:35Speaker 2: they're supposed to be water resistant, they're not water proof,
- 1:53:39Speaker 2: and if it really rains, they're gonna get wet and
- 1:53:41Speaker 2: it takes you have to take them and put them
- 1:53:43Speaker 2: on their edge and wait for them to dry out.
- 1:53:45Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: Right, that's what they make these really. Like the cushions
- 1:53:48Speaker 2: are like over three hundred dollars each water and the
- 1:53:51Speaker 2: water just doing plasts like a rain.
- 1:53:53Speaker 5: Are they comfortable is like plastic?
- 1:53:55Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's not plastic. It's it's but but
- 1:53:59Speaker 2: like I said, if you have a couch with three
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: cushions and three back cushions, that's that's you know, yeah, six.
- 1:54:04Speaker 5: Times you're speaking my language.
- 1:54:07Speaker 4: Struggle, I know.
- 1:54:08Speaker 5: And then there's like leaves get blown in and it's
- 1:54:10Speaker 5: all gross. I wish I had a cover to do
- 1:54:12Speaker 5: it like you do, because so much time I spent.
- 1:54:14Speaker 5: I want to go sit outside. Oh it rained yesterday,
- 1:54:17Speaker 5: they're sopping. I got to do Freds thing and flip
- 1:54:19Speaker 5: them on the side.
- 1:54:19Speaker 3: And you have a like one of those little outdoor
- 1:54:22Speaker 3: kind of gazebo things, not like not a permanent not
- 1:54:28Speaker 3: I don't know why your mind.
- 1:54:29Speaker 4: Goes there talking.
- 1:54:32Speaker 2: The cow is a cover.
- 1:54:35Speaker 3: There is a cover over and then I put a
- 1:54:36Speaker 3: cover on top of the like thet I don't really
- 1:54:41Speaker 3: think that that's that rare.
- 1:54:43Speaker 5: No, I think it's smart. But I wish I wish
- 1:54:45Speaker 5: I had that.
- 1:54:45Speaker 3: But now most overrated outdoor furniture is the adiron deck chair.
- 1:54:49Speaker 2: Oh yeah, uncomfortable. Comfortable, thank you Fred. Uncomfort.
- 1:54:55Speaker 5: I need an outdoor recliner that's like weather proof and
- 1:54:58Speaker 5: that I can.
- 1:54:58Speaker 4: Just sit and relax.
- 1:54:59Speaker 5: And I it's the couches are too small.
- 1:55:01Speaker 2: Things are too You guys have fire pits.
- 1:55:03Speaker 4: I do.
- 1:55:04Speaker 3: I have a gas fire pit.
- 1:55:05Speaker 5: A gas fire now, yeah, I got a fire it's
- 1:55:07Speaker 5: got like a glass.
- 1:55:08Speaker 2: Top yeah, I have one of those with the pebbles
- 1:55:10Speaker 2: in it.
- 1:55:12Speaker 5: But the glass, the blue.
- 1:55:14Speaker 4: Glass does it give off heat.
- 1:55:16Speaker 3: A little heat, but you don't use it for heat.
- 1:55:18Speaker 3: It's just kind of like Beyonce.
- 1:55:20Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's more.
- 1:55:22Speaker 5: Like it's the mood.
- 1:55:23Speaker 3: It's more like a bunch of college kids sitting around.
- 1:55:26Speaker 4: And at my house right like just to annoy me.
- 1:55:30Speaker 4: I just like the fire pit because then you smelled
- 1:55:32Speaker 4: like fire.
- 1:55:33Speaker 5: So that's the good part of the game. You don't smell.
- 1:55:36Speaker 3: I don't smell because that's a smell you can't get
- 1:55:39Speaker 3: rid of, like three days.
- 1:55:42Speaker 4: If you like, if you have a hoodie.
- 1:55:44Speaker 3: At a like you forget that, you'd have to wash
- 1:55:46Speaker 3: it three times.
- 1:55:47Speaker 4: You get the.
- 1:55:47Speaker 5: Smell out of it.
- 1:55:48Speaker 4: The smell is good.
- 1:55:50Speaker 5: I do like burn there, like.
- 1:55:54Speaker 3: When you when you sit around the fire. I like
- 1:55:56Speaker 3: that smell. I don't like the way I smell. The
- 1:55:58Speaker 3: next day, you kept just sitting around.
- 1:56:00Speaker 4: Winter as much as you get I was thinking, like,
- 1:56:02Speaker 4: when you know you smell like fire instead of smelling
- 1:56:06Speaker 4: like booze.
- 1:56:08Speaker 3: Yeah, well I know what he was doing. You were
- 1:56:13Speaker 3: burning down the woods, and Heaven was out back smoking
- 1:56:16Speaker 3: evil whoa so I was.
- 1:56:19Speaker 5: I was, and I just drank. No, I appreciate it.
- 1:56:24Speaker 4: When you were in high school, eighteen was the drinking age, So.
- 1:56:27Speaker 5: That is not true.
- 1:56:29Speaker 4: That is not true.
- 1:56:30Speaker 2: But it was a good, good shot, A good shot.
- 1:56:33Speaker 5: I believed I was when you might have been.
- 1:56:36Speaker 2: Changed while I was in high school. So geez. So
- 1:56:39Speaker 2: the night before it happened where your grandfather there, carry
- 1:56:42Speaker 2: convinced my mother to buy us ten cases of beer
- 1:56:46Speaker 2: and we went down to Smuggler's Beach and sold them,
- 1:56:48Speaker 2: you know, one bottle at a time for two bucks each,
- 1:56:51Speaker 2: and made a fortune that night.
- 1:56:52Speaker 3: Smart I always had an angle.
- 1:56:54Speaker 5: Smart I thought he was going to say, and that
- 1:56:56Speaker 5: was my beer for the next two years.
- 1:56:57Speaker 2: Job.
- 1:56:58Speaker 4: He's always scheming, you know, because this.
- 1:57:00Speaker 2: Man evans explanation for why fifth round picks so less
- 1:57:04Speaker 2: valuable than later round picks didn't really add up. Is
- 1:57:07Speaker 2: the idea that fifth rounders cost noticeably more than six
- 1:57:11Speaker 2: rounders without offering a meaningfully higher chance of success.
- 1:57:15Speaker 4: Yeah, it just the talent has just leveled off at
- 1:57:18Speaker 4: this point of the draft.
- 1:57:19Speaker 2: But you're paying more for them.
- 1:57:21Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, And so you left that part out, Okay,
- 1:57:24Speaker 4: But it's not like a tremendous amount more. It's not
- 1:57:28Speaker 4: all I know is and I've probably done the better
- 1:57:30Speaker 4: job of explaining it. But all I know is is
- 1:57:32Speaker 4: that Bill used to always draft the special teamers in
- 1:57:35Speaker 4: the fifth round.
- 1:57:36Speaker 3: And I would say, and has been outspoken in favor
- 1:57:39Speaker 3: of what Evans is.
- 1:57:40Speaker 4: Yeah, and every argument that he used to use of
- 1:57:42Speaker 4: the reason why he did that is because it was
- 1:57:44Speaker 4: analytically the least valuable round of the draft.
- 1:57:47Speaker 3: The two rounds Bill always talked about as being sort
- 1:57:50Speaker 3: of different with the third round. In the fifth round,
- 1:57:53Speaker 3: the third round, he used to say, oftentimes had a
- 1:57:56Speaker 3: lot of first round talent in it that had questions,
- 1:58:01Speaker 3: whether it be injuries, character issues, you know, some kind
- 1:58:07Speaker 3: of weird circumstance that caused a guy that had the
- 1:58:11Speaker 3: talent to go in the first round to drop to
- 1:58:12Speaker 3: the third round and the fifth round. I just think
- 1:58:15Speaker 3: was more about what Evan's talking about in terms of value.
- 1:58:19Speaker 3: I don't know exactly why it was. Maybe it is
- 1:58:21Speaker 3: money related, but I don't like, is there really that
- 1:58:23Speaker 3: great of a difference salary wise between a fifth and
- 1:58:26Speaker 3: sixth rounder.
- 1:58:26Speaker 2: R So Cahol and Galway Ireland has the same question,
- 1:58:32Speaker 2: doesn't understand the logic why it's easier to find value
- 1:58:35Speaker 2: in the sixth round in the fifth round. It's because
- 1:58:38Speaker 2: of the way you have to pay fifth rounders as
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: opposed to six rounders.
- 1:58:42Speaker 4: But I'll do some more actual reasoning behind this for
- 1:58:46Speaker 4: Tuesday's PU and we I'll have a better rationale for it.
- 1:58:51Speaker 4: I've always just kind of taken Bill Belichick and other
- 1:58:55Speaker 4: people smarter than me at their words for it.
- 1:58:57Speaker 2: Go into one of those gbt's and say, what's the
- 1:59:00Speaker 2: most valuable round in the NFL? What's the least valuable
- 1:59:03Speaker 2: round in the NFL?
- 1:59:04Speaker 5: All right, so let me do this.
- 1:59:10Speaker 2: Well, while you're doing that, we'll go to Noah in Toronto.
- 1:59:13Speaker 2: What's up?
- 1:59:14Speaker 5: Noah?
- 1:59:17Speaker 2: Noah? You there?
- 1:59:19Speaker 9: Can you hear me?
- 1:59:20Speaker 2: Yep? We can?
- 1:59:21Speaker 18: Okay, Yeah, thanks for all the content. So one thing
- 1:59:26Speaker 18: I've been reading a lot about Kaleb low move is
- 1:59:27Speaker 18: that is not a nasty enough player. And I was
- 1:59:31Speaker 18: wondering if you guys think that's a legitimate concern or
- 1:59:34Speaker 18: is that kind of just a heart oh coach thing,
- 1:59:37Speaker 18: because I don't know, in my mind, is like a
- 1:59:40Speaker 18: feaking blostake in front of him. I don't care if
- 1:59:42Speaker 18: he needs him in the kary and after you get them.
- 1:59:45Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I.
- 1:59:46Speaker 4: Think that maybe, like when you talk about like nasty
- 1:59:51Speaker 4: and finish, we're talking about play strength. It's not I'm
- 1:59:53Speaker 4: not saying that he's got to go and like beat
- 1:59:56Speaker 4: people up right, I'm talking about, you know, can he
- 2:00:00Speaker 4: eight movement in the run game? Can he get on
- 2:00:02Speaker 4: a block? And can he drive a guy off the ball.
- 2:00:04Speaker 4: You know, I didn't necessarily see that kind of power
- 2:00:08Speaker 4: in the run game to him. Doesn't mean he can't
- 2:00:10Speaker 4: and can't eventually get to that point. I'm not necessarily
- 2:00:13Speaker 4: talking about like he's going out there and.
- 2:00:16Speaker 5: It's a great, great description, That's what I agree. It's
- 2:00:18Speaker 5: I think you get lost in the you know, is
- 2:00:20Speaker 5: he does he know the stuff that people loved about
- 2:00:22Speaker 5: Will Campbell early last year when he was driving guys
- 2:00:25Speaker 5: into the ground you're going to play in.
- 2:00:26Speaker 3: The preseason game when he dreve drove a guy like
- 2:00:28Speaker 3: ten yards down field, like that's just kind of a
- 2:00:30Speaker 3: nasty streak.
- 2:00:31Speaker 4: Like, you know, I'm not saying that you have to
- 2:00:33Speaker 4: have now, but.
- 2:00:33Speaker 5: It's it's evansing because that directs directly correlates to play
- 2:00:37Speaker 5: in the position.
- 2:00:38Speaker 3: I think nasty a lot of times gets confused with dirty,
- 2:00:42Speaker 3: and I don't think it's the same due to anyway.
- 2:00:46Speaker 5: Are you just did.
- 2:00:49Speaker 4: Microsoft co pilot on this program?
- 2:00:51Speaker 5: Yeah, okay.
- 2:00:53Speaker 3: The fifth round is an average of four point six
- 2:00:57Speaker 3: million to full point seven eight over four years, the
- 2:00:59Speaker 3: same sound as four point four million to four point
- 2:01:01Speaker 3: six million over four years. So it's not a money
- 2:01:04Speaker 3: to make. It's not a money thing, and they're not
- 2:01:06Speaker 3: guaranteed in either regard, so it's that's not it's not
- 2:01:10Speaker 3: a lot.
- 2:01:13Speaker 2: I don't I don't have research on this, because logically,
- 2:01:18Speaker 2: the higher you pick the person, the better they should be.
- 2:01:22Speaker 3: Maybe there's more chances taken in the fifth The only
- 2:01:24Speaker 3: other thing.
- 2:01:25Speaker 4: That I can think of is that. And I don't
- 2:01:28Speaker 4: know if I don't think this is the case as
- 2:01:30Speaker 4: much anymore. But the Patriots used to have a notoriously
- 2:01:32Speaker 4: small draft board like they used to have under Bill.
- 2:01:36Speaker 4: They might only have like like one hundred guys on
- 2:01:40Speaker 4: the entire draft board. Most teams have like double that,
- 2:01:42Speaker 4: So maybe at this point in the draft they kind
- 2:01:45Speaker 4: of have run out of draftable players could be, and
- 2:01:48Speaker 4: so they're looking at it saying, you know.
- 2:01:51Speaker 2: Depends on how big the ructors close one of your
- 2:01:53Speaker 2: guys do those Internet, Yeah, I don't. I mean, I
- 2:01:56Speaker 2: think he's more of an upfield kind of guy.
- 2:01:58Speaker 5: You know that he's not going to be the nose tip.
- 2:02:00Speaker 5: But you know, I pulled this tweet up. I think
- 2:02:02Speaker 5: you referenced earlier Paul Hall of famers by what round
- 2:02:04Speaker 5: they were drafted. I thought this was interesting a little
- 2:02:07Speaker 5: bit into the reference. Uh, first rounders one hundred and
- 2:02:10Speaker 5: thirty seven, second rounders, thirty eight, third rounders, twenty eight,
- 2:02:14Speaker 5: fourth rounders, twelve, fifth round, eight, sixth round, four, seventh round, ten,
- 2:02:20Speaker 5: eighth round, and later twenty eight. Of course, draft used
- 2:02:22Speaker 5: to be a lot longer and undrafted twenty two. Yeah,
- 2:02:25Speaker 5: so I.
- 2:02:25Speaker 3: Would just say, like the eighth round and later in
- 2:02:28Speaker 3: the undrafted there's a lot more of those, yeah, right
- 2:02:32Speaker 3: than first rounders.
- 2:02:34Speaker 13: Do you know?
- 2:02:35Speaker 3: There's an infinite amount of undrafted free agents that can
- 2:02:38Speaker 3: make the league. Every year, there's only thirty two first
- 2:02:40Speaker 3: round picks that make.
- 2:02:41Speaker 5: The yep so, but yeah, yeah, about one hundred and
- 2:02:45Speaker 5: thirty seven in the first round, and then you drop
- 2:02:47Speaker 5: the thirty eight and that's a big drop. That's a
- 2:02:49Speaker 5: hugeho that's one hundred, one hundred guys. Yeah, ninety nine.
- 2:02:52Speaker 2: The draft used to be what twelve rounds back in
- 2:02:54Speaker 2: the day?
- 2:02:55Speaker 5: Is that?
- 2:02:55Speaker 2: Ever?
- 2:02:55Speaker 3: When there were times it was even longer than that.
- 2:02:57Speaker 3: But I mean, was the eighth round pick?
- 2:02:59Speaker 2: Was it?
- 2:03:00Speaker 4: Was it seven when you started here?
- 2:03:01Speaker 2: Was it down to seven when you started?
- 2:03:03Speaker 3: I think it was down to seven when I started. Yeah,
- 2:03:05Speaker 3: Troy was ninety three, and I think it was shortly
- 2:03:08Speaker 3: after that they cut it to seven. I think the
- 2:03:10Speaker 3: first draft that I covered was seven.
- 2:03:12Speaker 5: Be a long show.
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: Did you know that the New England well I think
- 2:03:15Speaker 2: it was the Boston Patriots back then, drafted fran Tarkenton. Really, yeah,
- 2:03:20Speaker 2: he chose to go to the Giants.
- 2:03:22Speaker 5: You know, it was another interesting one. I didn't know
- 2:03:23Speaker 5: they drafted with Steve McMichael Mungo. I knew that was
- 2:03:27Speaker 5: a huge part of the Chicago Bears, and I was
- 2:03:30Speaker 5: like what, I didn't realize that, And then it seemed
- 2:03:32Speaker 5: like he never quite caught on here. They didn't quite
- 2:03:33Speaker 5: get his personality. Then he went to Chicago he was
- 2:03:36Speaker 5: able to be part of that great forty six defense,
- 2:03:38Speaker 5: And yeah, that was that was one, because I mean
- 2:03:41Speaker 5: they he was out of there in like two years.
- 2:03:42Speaker 5: It was you know and went on to this great career.
- 2:03:45Speaker 2: All right, so where are we? Taylor Green, just Tyl Green,
- 2:03:49Speaker 2: first pick of the sixth round.
- 2:03:54Speaker 3: Oh, put a tent on that quarterback circus.
- 2:03:56Speaker 2: Wow they picked another quarterback. Yeah. Yeah.
- 2:03:59Speaker 4: They just they feel like if they're gonna just throw
- 2:04:02Speaker 4: as many darts at that position and like maybe they'll
- 2:04:05Speaker 4: get Tom Brady and you know, I feel like that's
- 2:04:08Speaker 4: their mindset.
- 2:04:10Speaker 5: There's Paul's guy, Cole Peyton doesn't look like he's throwing it.
- 2:04:13Speaker 4: I mean that looks like a pretty good throw.
- 2:04:15Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he actually looks like he has big arms,
- 2:04:17Speaker 3: great biceps.
- 2:04:18Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:04:20Speaker 2: So I got a feeling like six seventh round, you're
- 2:04:22Speaker 2: gonna see some weird picks from a lot of different teams.
- 2:04:24Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm curious. It's just kind of glad to see.
- 2:04:27Speaker 5: We've got two Anny's on the tracker right now.
- 2:04:30Speaker 3: So Dud's just tracking the Ay.
- 2:04:32Speaker 4: I love that Now.
- 2:04:34Speaker 5: I think back to the days I really did enjoy
- 2:04:36Speaker 5: the draft when it was the weekend and you know,
- 2:04:38Speaker 5: I would just make a weekend out of it and
- 2:04:40Speaker 5: make food and have friends come over, and you just
- 2:04:42Speaker 5: kind of the excuse to just sit there and eat
- 2:04:44Speaker 5: food and kind of started when they fread it was
- 2:04:47Speaker 5: the Saturday Sunday. It was you know, it was one,
- 2:04:50Speaker 5: two and three on Saturday and then four to seven
- 2:04:52Speaker 5: on Sunday. When I was a kid, it was during
- 2:04:56Speaker 5: the week, during the day, and that's when I went
- 2:05:00Speaker 5: all Evan, yeah, and I geeked out and I used
- 2:05:02Speaker 5: to fake being sick so I could stay home from
- 2:05:05Speaker 5: school and watch the draft.
- 2:05:06Speaker 3: I did it twice, all know. My father caught on
- 2:05:09Speaker 3: the second he did, yeah, yeah, the draft today. Second
- 2:05:11Speaker 3: because I would do it, you know, my father would
- 2:05:13Speaker 3: go to work and then I would go to my mother,
- 2:05:15Speaker 3: I'm not feeling well, and I would stay, you know,
- 2:05:17Speaker 3: would just sit in my room and watch the draft
- 2:05:19Speaker 3: all day. He pulled the first and then the second
- 2:05:22Speaker 3: year when that happened again. You know, my so my
- 2:05:24Speaker 3: father's gone, doesn't realize it's happened, and he was like,
- 2:05:27Speaker 3: wait a minute, you did this last year too, No,
- 2:05:30Speaker 3: I know what you're doing. And that was it was yeah,
- 2:05:33Speaker 3: I think we took Evan would have been like that,
- 2:05:34Speaker 3: that's my boy. Like Tony Collins in the second round.
- 2:05:38Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I might have been like the
- 2:05:40Speaker 3: tip draft too.
- 2:05:41Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:05:41Speaker 4: It was in that era it was like eighty two,
- 2:05:43Speaker 4: eighty three.
- 2:05:44Speaker 3: Somewhere in that vicented some good drafts and you know,
- 2:05:47Speaker 3: faking being sick to watch the draft. I've told this
- 2:05:50Speaker 3: story before, but I'd never forget just the thought of
- 2:05:52Speaker 3: my brain and being like, it'd be so cool to
- 2:05:54Speaker 3: be able to like sit in front of the computer
- 2:05:56Speaker 3: and just be on the Internet and be on my computer.
- 2:05:58Speaker 5: While I'm on the TV. You know it's hard line
- 2:06:01Speaker 5: dial up. You know you'd have to be over in.
- 2:06:03Speaker 2: The other room.
- 2:06:04Speaker 5: Oh yeah, right, right, but you know the imagination of
- 2:06:08Speaker 5: Wi Fi being like, that'd be so cool. You know,
- 2:06:10Speaker 5: I can like do my little blogs and everything.
- 2:06:12Speaker 2: I have to be honest, I wouldn't you. I wouldn't
- 2:06:16Speaker 2: even have known when the draft was until after college.
- 2:06:19Speaker 3: Ye Now, where to contemplate to miss the draft?
- 2:06:23Speaker 2: I swear, I I it's too busy playing sports.
- 2:06:27Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I didn't watch it before like two thousand
- 2:06:30Speaker 5: and six.
- 2:06:30Speaker 4: I mean, it wasn't like I was watching in two
- 2:06:32Speaker 4: thousand and six and I was like ten, yeah, no.
- 2:06:35Speaker 3: Well that's like I was. Yeah, I was like it
- 2:06:37Speaker 3: was when I really got into the pool. It wasn't
- 2:06:39Speaker 3: like I'm a fan of the league and I want
- 2:06:41Speaker 3: to see where I two thousand and six, I'd say,
- 2:06:43Speaker 3: is where I really watching the draft?
- 2:06:46Speaker 5: Sitting there?
- 2:06:46Speaker 4: You know, I would say, yeah, like fourth or fifth grade.
- 2:06:49Speaker 4: And then back then, like that's when like they started
- 2:06:52Speaker 4: having the YouTube stuff for like Draft breakdown and stuff
- 2:06:55Speaker 4: like that, and they would just have these cutups of
- 2:06:57Speaker 4: players TV copy where I was just like four or
- 2:07:00Speaker 4: five minutes of just all their snaps and you could
- 2:07:03Speaker 4: just watch the guy play a game all the way through.
- 2:07:05Speaker 4: And I used to just all sit there and just
- 2:07:08Speaker 4: watch like as many guys as I possibly could. I
- 2:07:11Speaker 4: didn't like take notes or anything back then. I just
- 2:07:13Speaker 4: like knowing the names and schools and stuff like that.
- 2:07:16Speaker 5: But you get like the I mean, there wasn't the
- 2:07:18Speaker 5: prolific draft coverage you had on the internet, but you
- 2:07:20Speaker 5: get that like Draft magazine finally, and you know going
- 2:07:23Speaker 5: through that. I would love that, but I getting when
- 2:07:25Speaker 5: that would finally hit the news stand. I'd be so
- 2:07:27Speaker 5: excited to, you know, go through the prospects.
- 2:07:29Speaker 4: Yeah, back then, like you know, guys like Mel Kuiper
- 2:07:32Speaker 4: and I know he gets a lot of credit for
- 2:07:33Speaker 4: this from everybody, but like he you know, he obviously
- 2:07:35Speaker 4: started it. Well you know, he was one.
- 2:07:37Speaker 2: Of the first, was one of the best.
- 2:07:40Speaker 3: Joe Joel Buschbomb was a scout, though mel Kuiper is
- 2:07:43Speaker 3: the first one to just sort of do it as.
- 2:07:45Speaker 2: Like a hobby but had his own book.
- 2:07:48Speaker 3: But he was a scout. He was actually in the NFL.
- 2:07:51Speaker 3: I heard an internet thing about mel Kiper, Joel Bush
- 2:07:54Speaker 3: Bill Joel. Because of that, he used to talk to
- 2:07:57Speaker 3: us until he didn't anymore.
- 2:08:00Speaker 5: I saw some footage of like early mel Kiper. I
- 2:08:02Speaker 5: forget what I was watching, but uh, and somebody was
- 2:08:05Speaker 5: talking about how you cover the draft, and I thought
- 2:08:08Speaker 5: it was really interesting because of you know, all of
- 2:08:09Speaker 5: our processes that they're talent evaluators and then there are
- 2:08:13Speaker 5: information gatherers, you know, and I feel like, you know,
- 2:08:15Speaker 5: Evan leans hard into talent evaluation. He watches the players
- 2:08:19Speaker 5: and he you know, whereas and I do a dabble
- 2:08:22Speaker 5: in that. But I'd say I'm more of an information gatherer.
- 2:08:24Speaker 5: I like to look at different people. I you know,
- 2:08:26Speaker 5: find traits that I like or guys that you know,
- 2:08:28Speaker 5: maybe have some keywords that this is the kind of
- 2:08:30Speaker 5: guy you might be. Now. I watch him a little bit,
- 2:08:32Speaker 5: but that was an interesting way to kind of look
- 2:08:34Speaker 5: at it, and they were saying, you know, mel kiper
- 2:08:35Speaker 5: initially more of an information gatherer.
- 2:08:38Speaker 4: Yeah, because back then there was no.
- 2:08:39Speaker 5: Internet, you know, and it's a guy who's talking to
- 2:08:41Speaker 5: everybody and getting the opinion rather than you know, there's
- 2:08:43Speaker 5: a couple of different ways to kind of approach it. Yeah.
- 2:08:45Speaker 2: To me, like, if you're not watching him play, then
- 2:08:48Speaker 2: you're not scouting, I think, because you're if you're relying
- 2:08:51Speaker 2: on other people's words, whether they're written or verbal, it's
- 2:08:55Speaker 2: too subjective. You have to see it with your eyes.
- 2:08:58Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and I understand and that, you know, some
- 2:09:00Speaker 4: people might think that I don't have the expertise or
- 2:09:04Speaker 4: they don't have the expertise to be able to watch
- 2:09:06Speaker 4: it and give an opinion, but I do. That's how
- 2:09:09Speaker 4: I do it, And like my rankings like I that
- 2:09:12Speaker 4: I put together, uh that we publish, Like I don't know,
- 2:09:16Speaker 4: I'm not always right in terms of predicting the draft
- 2:09:19Speaker 4: in the order that the players come off the board,
- 2:09:22Speaker 4: but like I'm actually kind of more interested to see
- 2:09:23Speaker 4: if I'm going to be right in two to three
- 2:09:25Speaker 4: years and then being right like, oh, this guy went
- 2:09:28Speaker 4: in the in the third round and Evan had him
- 2:09:30Speaker 4: in the seventh round, like, well, maybe I they overdrafted it.
- 2:09:34Speaker 2: I thought he was going to be a good football
- 2:09:36Speaker 2: player and he ended up being a good football.
- 2:09:38Speaker 5: Or bad you know.
- 2:09:39Speaker 4: Definitely plenty of the on the other direction too, But
- 2:09:42Speaker 4: I would say Barth like it does more trying to
- 2:09:45Speaker 4: predict what the league is going to do, you know.
- 2:09:48Speaker 2: Like he's more more of a game.
- 2:09:50Speaker 4: He's more of the information gathering side where he wants
- 2:09:53Speaker 4: to get it right in terms of the you know,
- 2:09:55Speaker 4: projecting where the league is going to draft the players.
- 2:09:57Speaker 5: I agree with you.
- 2:09:58Speaker 3: I would rather just try to see I can identify
- 2:10:01Speaker 3: what's going to be a good player, like I remember,
- 2:10:04Speaker 3: you know, just like the individual players that come around.
- 2:10:06Speaker 3: And I was like, I really liked that guy, Like
- 2:10:08Speaker 3: Randall Cobb was a guy like back and I was like,
- 2:10:11Speaker 3: I really liked the way that guy isn't Like the
- 2:10:13Speaker 3: first game he played for Green Bay, I think he
- 2:10:15Speaker 3: had like two touchdowns. I was like, bang, look, I
- 2:10:18Speaker 3: was I was psyched because like this is a guy that,
- 2:10:20Speaker 3: you know, not like a top five pick.
- 2:10:22Speaker 2: It's like Day two kind of guy.
- 2:10:24Speaker 3: That guy's got some skills, he can play, he can
- 2:10:27Speaker 3: do some things in the slot and you know whatever,
- 2:10:29Speaker 3: That's what I would be more interested in if I
- 2:10:31Speaker 3: was doing it as a hobby, like you know, like
- 2:10:32Speaker 3: Fretz's Bushbomb. I'm actually looking up his thing here. You're
- 2:10:36Speaker 3: kind of right, Fred I was wrong. He never really
- 2:10:38Speaker 3: had a job in the NFL. He worked at Pro
- 2:10:40Speaker 3: Football Weekly, right, and was kind of a draft guy.
- 2:10:42Speaker 3: So he was different than mel Kiper in that he
- 2:10:45Speaker 3: actually worked, and Kiper kind of just did it on
- 2:10:47Speaker 3: his own. But neither of them was ever an actual
- 2:10:50Speaker 3: scout and worked. He's I thought he was more Gil
- 2:10:52Speaker 3: Brandt pushbomb, but he wasn't. He just he was like
- 2:10:55Speaker 3: the editor. I like Pro Football Weekly.
- 2:10:57Speaker 2: I got somebody mad here who really like Joe Bush
- 2:11:01Speaker 2: bumbas that he lives in the basement of his mother's house.
- 2:11:04Speaker 2: That was the wrong. Pro Football Weekly was a pretty
- 2:11:10Speaker 2: good rag back, is that that little one? There was
- 2:11:12Speaker 2: always a magazine.
- 2:11:13Speaker 5: It was like three quarter size, it was, I remember
- 2:11:16Speaker 5: that one.
- 2:11:17Speaker 3: Yeah, And actually he had the best one.
- 2:11:18Speaker 2: And actually Patrios Football Weekly. Yeah, the font is kind
- 2:11:22Speaker 2: of stolen from Football Weekly. I wanted it to look
- 2:11:25Speaker 2: like that so people would have that feeling.
- 2:11:27Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah when they read it. That's funny.
- 2:11:29Speaker 2: I remember that little It's yeah yeah pamphlet. And then
- 2:11:33Speaker 2: then Pro Football Weekly had a show that sometimes you
- 2:11:37Speaker 2: could watch on Saturday night at eleven thirty if you're
- 2:11:39Speaker 2: a loser, And I.
- 2:11:40Speaker 4: Think that's still on Pro.
- 2:11:41Speaker 5: Football Weekly, Yeah, with like Artcush Cush.
- 2:11:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:11:45Speaker 3: And there's one of the former Chicago Bears I think
- 2:11:49Speaker 3: is on I think Wantstead is on it, Dave Wanstead.
- 2:11:53Speaker 2: Yeah. Let's go to the phones. Randy's in Providence. What's up,
- 2:11:57Speaker 2: Randy guy?
- 2:12:00Speaker 17: How's it going to the first off, I just want
- 2:12:04Speaker 17: to say I love gay back as as a pick,
- 2:12:06Speaker 17: Like he's got the size, athleticism and like at the
- 2:12:09Speaker 17: edge Russia position production translates from college usually, you know,
- 2:12:14Speaker 17: I just really feel good about that pick. I want
- 2:12:17Speaker 17: to ask you guys about these upcoming picks here. We
- 2:12:20Speaker 17: still need a guard. What do you guys think about
- 2:12:22Speaker 17: Jaden Roberts or Anez Cooper? And then like also on
- 2:12:27Speaker 17: the offensive line, do you really think that the team
- 2:12:30Speaker 17: is like so stuck on proving Will Campbell's a left
- 2:12:33Speaker 17: tackle not a right tackle or anything else that they
- 2:12:36Speaker 17: wouldn't consider switching him because look, it just philosophically the
- 2:12:41Speaker 17: guy who's a really good pass protector but not a
- 2:12:44Speaker 17: great run blocker, usually on the left. The guy who's
- 2:12:47Speaker 17: a mean run blocker but not the best pass protector,
- 2:12:49Speaker 17: usually on the right. So like just you know, I mean,
- 2:12:53Speaker 17: for like.
- 2:12:53Speaker 8: The entirety of the time that I've been watching.
- 2:12:55Speaker 17: Football, that's basically been true. You know, why wouldn't they
- 2:12:59Speaker 17: consider a swap ultimately if that's you know, with with
- 2:13:03Speaker 17: having draft drafted, but let's say a great pass protector,
- 2:13:07Speaker 17: I would hope, I.
- 2:13:07Speaker 2: Would hope in a worst case they would consider everything.
- 2:13:11Speaker 4: Oh and I think.
- 2:13:11Speaker 5: They would be.
- 2:13:12Speaker 4: And Elliot Wolf and Mike Rabell both said, well, if
- 2:13:15Speaker 4: we can get a better left tackle than Will Campbell,
- 2:13:18Speaker 4: then he'll play. But they just didn't feel the reason
- 2:13:21Speaker 4: why other than putting a vote of confidence behind Will Campbell,
- 2:13:25Speaker 4: is because they didn't feel like they were going to
- 2:13:26Speaker 4: do better than the fourth overall pick in the draft
- 2:13:29Speaker 4: at left tackle. Now, if maybe Lomu ends up being better,
- 2:13:32Speaker 4: but you know, I think that's why, you know, to
- 2:13:35Speaker 4: Randy's question, like why in terms of the styles and
- 2:13:38Speaker 4: stuff like that, Well, if Will Campbell is just a
- 2:13:40Speaker 4: better player then Lomu, then you're not going to make
- 2:13:43Speaker 4: Will Campbell play out of position, you know, on the
- 2:13:46Speaker 4: right side, just to accommodate Lomu. That that wouldn't make
- 2:13:49Speaker 4: any sense.
- 2:13:49Speaker 3: And I just I just don't think they'll be stubborn.
- 2:13:52Speaker 3: Me neither if they, you know, if they were probably
- 2:13:54Speaker 3: more stubborn than them about they watched these guys play
- 2:13:57Speaker 3: for a year and they think one's better than the other.
- 2:13:59Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to say, well, no, right,
- 2:14:01Speaker 3: we're going to play the guy who's inferior. Yeah, I
- 2:14:04Speaker 3: think they'll make the move.
- 2:14:05Speaker 5: Yeah. I just I think you somewhat throw the needs
- 2:14:08Speaker 5: out at this point. I mean a little bit. But
- 2:14:10Speaker 5: it's more who.
- 2:14:11Speaker 2: Do you like?
- 2:14:12Speaker 5: Who do you think has some kind of chance to
- 2:14:13Speaker 5: find a role on this team? Not hey, we really
- 2:14:16Speaker 5: need to guard. We don't love this guy doesn't really fit,
- 2:14:18Speaker 5: but let's just take him anyway. At this point, these
- 2:14:20Speaker 5: guys are long shots anyway.
- 2:14:22Speaker 2: Yep. So we're closing in. Looks like the Jets are
- 2:14:26Speaker 2: on the clock. Three or four picks away, yep. Then
- 2:14:29Speaker 2: Bengals and Saints than Patriots at one Jets.
- 2:14:33Speaker 5: Pick us in.
- 2:14:33Speaker 3: So moving along almost there. So we have Pistons lost again.
- 2:14:42Speaker 5: Did they really yeah.
- 2:14:44Speaker 3: Red soots one today seventeen to one, Freddy.
- 2:14:46Speaker 2: There we go.
- 2:14:47Speaker 5: See they're like, you know what, no more of this
- 2:14:50Speaker 5: showing hot?
- 2:14:51Speaker 2: How did Roman Holiday do?
- 2:14:53Speaker 3: He's sad again, said as Jim Murray would call him,
- 2:14:57Speaker 3: Roman Garoppolo took the day.
- 2:14:58Speaker 2: Off, Roman, I call him?
- 2:15:01Speaker 4: Why is he injury? Is just like four games? Then
- 2:15:06Speaker 4: last year? Was it like obleaque or something like that? Yeah, No,
- 2:15:12Speaker 4: I watched the end of the Celtics game when last
- 2:15:15Speaker 4: night had it recorded, and uh, Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum,
- 2:15:21Speaker 4: I mean they probably shouldn't be in a game that's
- 2:15:23Speaker 4: that closed against the Sixers in the first round of
- 2:15:25Speaker 4: the playoffs, to be honest, but uh, they they closed
- 2:15:27Speaker 4: that game out. They they took over the game.
- 2:15:29Speaker 5: Big three by U.
- 2:15:31Speaker 3: Yeah, actually a big pull up by Jalen Brown too
- 2:15:34Speaker 3: to make it a two school game and then a
- 2:15:36Speaker 3: dagger three by Tatum to end it.
- 2:15:39Speaker 4: Dagger did he? Was he alpha enough for people on
- 2:15:41Speaker 4: that one pound on the chest? Like was that did
- 2:15:44Speaker 4: he show enough the whole look at the hand. Yeah,
- 2:15:46Speaker 4: that's just that's a silly Yeah.
- 2:15:48Speaker 3: I don't, I don't, it's oh my god, Mike, that's
- 2:15:52Speaker 3: wrong with my hand, it is not sexy.
- 2:15:54Speaker 2: Chad's in Los Angeles. Hey Chad, Yeah good?
- 2:16:03Speaker 6: And Hey, just about the signal. When I use the app,
- 2:16:07Speaker 6: I have a very clear signal.
- 2:16:09Speaker 16: But when I just called you guys, you guys sound like.
- 2:16:12Speaker 6: You're still working on Netscape.
- 2:16:16Speaker 5: So I think that's fatigue.
- 2:16:20Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, you're you're I mean, he's sound very like digitized.
- 2:16:25Speaker 16: Uh gut role. But let me ask my question.
- 2:16:28Speaker 8: Then I'll get off the call.
- 2:16:29Speaker 6: And you know, just if that's helpful for you guys
- 2:16:31Speaker 6: to tech support purposes, I don't know, but okay, so.
- 2:16:34Speaker 16: Here's my question. The guy that just called a little
- 2:16:38Speaker 16: while ago, he was talking about little Cammell and how
- 2:16:40Speaker 16: dedicated we are, you know or not to him, and
- 2:16:44Speaker 16: it made me kind of reflect on last year a
- 2:16:47Speaker 16: little bit. And you know, we obviously we made it
- 2:16:51Speaker 16: a super Bowl.
- 2:16:51Speaker 6: That's awesome, but you know, we kind of beat up
- 2:16:55Speaker 6: on the weaker guys because of our schedule, and then
- 2:16:58Speaker 6: when we got to the tougher teams, you know, our
- 2:17:02Speaker 6: product duty really dropped out. So this spear is going
- 2:17:07Speaker 6: to be a lot harder. And it kind of made
- 2:17:09Speaker 6: me think about that little Campbell saying like, do you
- 2:17:12Speaker 6: guys really think that we are like really dedicated to
- 2:17:16Speaker 6: him as our left tackle and that he's going to
- 2:17:19Speaker 6: have the jump that we need.
- 2:17:21Speaker 16: And how much do you think we're improving so far?
- 2:17:25Speaker 16: And I guess on that note, let's pretend we have
- 2:17:29Speaker 16: agent Brown.
- 2:17:29Speaker 6: I guess yeah, okay, well, all right, the call clear line?
- 2:17:37Speaker 2: All right, thanks Chad.
- 2:17:38Speaker 3: The issues with your cell phone?
- 2:17:40Speaker 2: Your cell phone is not too great either. Well, I guess, first,
- 2:17:44Speaker 2: are they that dedicated?
- 2:17:48Speaker 3: I thought, But every time they've been asked, they emphatically
- 2:17:51Speaker 3: say that, Well, I don't know what else you can
- 2:17:54Speaker 3: do without playing and showing it. But at this time
- 2:17:57Speaker 3: of year, you just keep saying he's.
- 2:17:58Speaker 5: Our left tackle, and you know, fino, he said. Loaneo
- 2:18:02Speaker 5: said that Will Campbell was the first person to text him,
- 2:18:05Speaker 5: so clearly, Will Campbell, I would, was right on the
- 2:18:07Speaker 5: cutting edge of that decision and had his number and
- 2:18:10Speaker 5: was ready to go right away. So yeah, but I
- 2:18:13Speaker 5: just again, I don't think that they're going to be
- 2:18:14Speaker 5: stupid and they're gonna be stubborn about it. But to
- 2:18:17Speaker 5: Paul's point that he made at the top of the
- 2:18:18Speaker 5: first show that look, you've got an athletic.
- 2:18:21Speaker 4: Kid that I don't know.
- 2:18:22Speaker 5: Will Camble might just get hurt, like, he might just
- 2:18:24Speaker 5: get hurt like and you're going to need an athletic tackle,
- 2:18:27Speaker 5: so you know there's that factor too.
- 2:18:28Speaker 4: It's too bad to Will Campbell got hurt. I'd like
- 2:18:31Speaker 4: to say that at least we could have like done
- 2:18:33Speaker 4: this on like an even playing field.
- 2:18:35Speaker 3: And I'm gonna apologize because I like, now all of
- 2:18:38Speaker 3: a sudden, we're getting a lot of calls on it
- 2:18:40Speaker 3: because of that email that started this, and I didn't like.
- 2:18:44Speaker 3: I think it's a non factor today. I don't think
- 2:18:47Speaker 3: it's really much. Every time that Rabel and Elliott Wolf
- 2:18:51Speaker 3: have been asked about it, it's emphatic he's the left tackle.
- 2:18:54Speaker 3: Evan might be right, that might be a vote of confidence,
- 2:18:57Speaker 3: But I would be stunned if we go to OTA's
- 2:18:59Speaker 3: in a couple of weeks and they line up for
- 2:19:02Speaker 3: any kind of a formation and Will Campbell's not the
- 2:19:04Speaker 3: left tackle. It'd be flat out stunning to see that
- 2:19:09Speaker 3: when they play this year. If it doesn't go well
- 2:19:11Speaker 3: and then they have then we can have these conversations.
- 2:19:14Speaker 3: But right now, I think it is premature to back Evans.
- 2:19:16Speaker 3: I'm not backing off of our conversation. But yeah, to
- 2:19:20Speaker 3: your side of it right now, it's not I don't
- 2:19:22Speaker 3: think worth it.
- 2:19:22Speaker 4: And that's all I was trying to say to it.
- 2:19:25Speaker 4: Just it feels a little bit premature to.
- 2:19:27Speaker 5: Be I think we're going to have a trade.
- 2:19:32Speaker 4: Yeah. I think they traded out of the pick the Patriots. Yeah,
- 2:19:36Speaker 4: I traded out.
- 2:19:37Speaker 3: Oh that's not what we're looking for. That's adding picks,
- 2:19:39Speaker 3: not far.
- 2:19:39Speaker 5: Though far now, and now they're going to have to
- 2:19:44Speaker 5: before their next pick.
- 2:19:45Speaker 4: Basically, So I.
- 2:19:47Speaker 3: Did see the Jets took that guard that someone.
- 2:19:49Speaker 4: Just says yes, yeah, and as Cooper bigger guard, another
- 2:19:53Speaker 4: like nasty road grading type of guard.
- 2:19:55Speaker 2: Glass eater glass a lot about It's weird.
- 2:20:00Speaker 4: About sometimes though with those guys. Friend is like he
- 2:20:03Speaker 4: was he played really high, so even though he was
- 2:20:06Speaker 4: like yeah, you could tell that he was big. Now
- 2:20:08Speaker 4: though he's big, and he played a lot with a
- 2:20:11Speaker 4: lot of raw power, Like a lot of those guys
- 2:20:13Speaker 4: don't create as much movement because of their pad level.
- 2:20:16Speaker 4: You know, we're talking about wrestling and leverage yesterday, they
- 2:20:18Speaker 4: just aren't getting underneath guys and pushing them back. Paul's
- 2:20:22Speaker 4: upset because we just added more picks. It's okay, Paul,
- 2:20:25Speaker 4: It's okay, Alex.
- 2:20:30Speaker 5: This is the prototypical you're not doing low movie.
- 2:20:34Speaker 12: What do you mean?
- 2:20:35Speaker 3: This is the prototypical Belichick trade just for the sake
- 2:20:38Speaker 3: of trading.
- 2:20:40Speaker 4: Okay. Can we just tell the trade now because we've
- 2:20:42Speaker 4: been talking about it.
- 2:20:43Speaker 5: Yeah, So and two forty five be the picks.
- 2:20:50Speaker 2: So we gave up one ninety one.
- 2:20:52Speaker 5: So yeah, we just did going down to to what
- 2:20:55Speaker 5: one ninety six? So I think that one ninety six
- 2:20:57Speaker 5: and one ninety eight now be with Tennessee I believe
- 2:21:02Speaker 5: a Jaguars. Yeah, and then they'll have two forty five
- 2:21:06Speaker 5: and two forty seven as well. So now they have
- 2:21:11Speaker 5: five more picks, three six rounds and two seventh rounders
- 2:21:18Speaker 5: twelve two forty five and two forty seven.
- 2:21:22Speaker 2: Okay, so we'll we'll hang out until one ninety six
- 2:21:26Speaker 2: and one ninety eight.
- 2:21:27Speaker 5: Yeah, that coming up quick.
- 2:21:30Speaker 2: See what's gonna go on a lot of emails coming in.
- 2:21:35Speaker 16: Uh.
- 2:21:35Speaker 2: The most interesting Patriots fan of the world says, if
- 2:21:38Speaker 2: furniture is inanimate objects that are easily moved, as deusyndicated,
- 2:21:42Speaker 2: I'm still taking Will Campbell first in the furniture draft.
- 2:21:45Speaker 5: Oh oh, does the chair have long enough arms for you, though?
- 2:21:50Speaker 4: Is that?
- 2:21:51Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 2:21:53Speaker 3: What a tremendous draft, Robert Rights.
- 2:21:57Speaker 2: I have one hundred percent lied to my family friends
- 2:21:59Speaker 2: that employed to stay home and watch the draft. Now
- 2:22:02Speaker 2: I do house chores with my earbuds in because I
- 2:22:05Speaker 2: have all what I have? You all watching it for me? Oh?
- 2:22:08Speaker 5: There you go. I don't know, did you, guys ever
- 2:22:12Speaker 5: any other reason you skipped schoo I remember I skipped
- 2:22:14Speaker 5: school once when I was like in elementary school because
- 2:22:16Speaker 5: it was my little sister's birthday and there she was
- 2:22:18Speaker 5: having like a party. She was like a four years
- 2:22:19Speaker 5: old and I wanted to hang out for cake. So
- 2:22:21Speaker 5: I don't feel so good, mom, that's a real fat kid.
- 2:22:25Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see Tim wrights in, he said, Fred, be
- 2:22:30Speaker 2: patient with me. Who would you rather pick a six two,
- 2:22:33Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety four pound cornerback who ran a
- 2:22:36Speaker 2: four four five forty yard dash and played in the
- 2:22:39Speaker 2: Big twelve and sac or a six', one one hundred
- 2:22:43Speaker 2: and ninety two cornerback safety who ran a four to
- 2:22:46Speaker 2: two seven and played in the college in THE cfp
- 2:22:50Speaker 2: in The big.
- 2:22:50Speaker 5: Ten On day, THREE i have no.
- 2:22:53Speaker 4: Idea this is obviously two people that exist.
- 2:22:55Speaker 2: In, Right.
- 2:22:57Speaker 3: But you're giving me nothing about players LIKE i can
- 2:23:01Speaker 3: give you a guy who walks down the street and
- 2:23:03Speaker 3: has those? Measurables has he ever played down a football
- 2:23:06Speaker 3: in his? LIFE i don't know who was talking.
- 2:23:08Speaker 2: About the first one played in The big twelve in THE, sec.
- 2:23:11Speaker 3: But did he play, WELL i don't know he do
- 2:23:14Speaker 3: you know if it's any?
- 2:23:15Speaker 5: Good?
- 2:23:16Speaker 3: Yeah, well chances are these two guys that he's profiling.
- 2:23:20Speaker 3: Here evan's the only one who knows.
- 2:23:21Speaker 5: Him SO i don't have this blasting numbers.
- 2:23:24Speaker 3: Out if you give me the, NAMES i won't know,
- 2:23:27Speaker 3: them SO i can't give you an.
- 2:23:28Speaker 2: Opinion, well the first one the six, two one hundred
- 2:23:30Speaker 2: and ninety cornerback who ran a four four five and
- 2:23:33Speaker 2: played in The big twelve AT. Sec As Karen, prunty.
- 2:23:36Speaker 4: He did not play in THE. Sec he was briefly
- 2:23:40Speaker 4: supposed to go TO i Think South, carolina but he Didn't,
- 2:23:43Speaker 4: okay didn't actually play.
- 2:23:44Speaker 2: The six to one hundred and ninety two. Cornerbacks last
- 2:23:47Speaker 2: safety who ran a four to two seven and played
- 2:23:50Speaker 2: in THE cfb and The Big ten And Notre dame
- 2:23:53Speaker 2: Was Lorenzo styles From Ohio state who went to The
- 2:23:56Speaker 2: saints after our. Pick.
- 2:23:57Speaker 4: Yeah the, Yeah PRUNTY i, believe like was committed to
- 2:24:03Speaker 4: transfer To South. Carolina never made it To South, carolina
- 2:24:07Speaker 4: ended up going To kansas, instead and then made his
- 2:24:09Speaker 4: way To Wake forest. Eventually but there's no doubt That,
- 2:24:14Speaker 4: styles his brother went seventh overall in the, Draft Sunny.
- 2:24:17Speaker 4: Styles there's no doubt that people were talking about that
- 2:24:20Speaker 4: player a lot more than That, prunty you.
- 2:24:22Speaker 2: KNOW i, mean it's my running back, Receiver Josh.
- 2:24:25Speaker 5: Cameron that was another. One it's fun is, This AS
- 2:24:28Speaker 5: i said To, Paul it's like sometimes you just see
- 2:24:30Speaker 5: a guy who's kind of different and, weird and that
- 2:24:34Speaker 5: was Definitely Josh. CAMERON i, remember didn't only see a
- 2:24:36Speaker 5: total fifth form. BAT i just kind of just.
- 2:24:38Speaker 3: One of those guys that makes place and you, know.
- 2:24:41Speaker 5: Runs, hard good college. Player, yeah let's.
- 2:24:45Speaker 2: See bruno, SAYS i just had a brief but very
- 2:24:48Speaker 2: insightful exchange with SHAT. Gbt the extremely short version of
- 2:24:52Speaker 2: the reason For round five being the least valuable is
- 2:24:55Speaker 2: that teams take a conservative approach drafting for roster depth
- 2:24:59Speaker 2: instead of taking flyers when the math says they should
- 2:25:02Speaker 2: be doing, otherwise and they do this because general perception
- 2:25:06Speaker 2: is that a round five failure is a bus not
- 2:25:08Speaker 2: a bet that didn't. Pay and of course it's least
- 2:25:11Speaker 2: a media criticism fans booming a.
- 2:25:13Speaker 3: JOB i CAN i can see, that like if you
- 2:25:16Speaker 3: some somehow like a fifth round is high enough that
- 2:25:19Speaker 3: like you'll think team, yeah yeah, yeah whereas like the
- 2:25:22Speaker 3: sixth or seventh round just flyers anywhere they don't make.
- 2:25:25Speaker 2: It he has the, whole he has the whole. Conversation
- 2:25:27Speaker 2: BUT i don't want to get into.
- 2:25:28Speaker 3: IT i, MEAN i think there could be some validity to.
- 2:25:31Speaker 4: THAT i was wondering if, maybe you, know to that,
- 2:25:34Speaker 4: point like we were talking about. Earlier you, Know Kaishan
- 2:25:37Speaker 4: boody ends up going in the sixth round because of
- 2:25:39Speaker 4: his ankle and because of what turns out some legal
- 2:25:41Speaker 4: trouble off the field AT. Lsu you, know maybe the
- 2:25:45Speaker 4: fifth round people feel like it's too early to take
- 2:25:48Speaker 4: on some of that, risk you, Know but then all
- 2:25:50Speaker 4: of a sudden you get to the end of the
- 2:25:51Speaker 4: draft and that's when you are willing to take on
- 2:25:54Speaker 4: a risk like. That and it's not a lack of
- 2:25:58Speaker 4: talent that those players, fail it's off the field issues
- 2:26:02Speaker 4: why those players fell Our. Injuries so there's a couple
- 2:26:06Speaker 4: of guys like you know that are still on the
- 2:26:08Speaker 4: board that were we knew ahead of, time had some
- 2:26:12Speaker 4: some skeletons and some some. Issues, yeah things like. That
- 2:26:18Speaker 4: so maybe that's that's why we're. Here you, Know Garrett
- 2:26:21Speaker 4: nestmeier had like the back thing he had to.
- 2:26:24Speaker 11: His.
- 2:26:25Speaker 5: Spiners, yeah you, know so.
- 2:26:28Speaker 4: He, is and like that's another. ONE i don't. KNOW
- 2:26:30Speaker 4: i didn't wasn't aware That Jack injuries had any sort
- 2:26:34Speaker 4: of injury or medical flags or anything like. That but,
- 2:26:36Speaker 4: clearly uh he, does because you, know he was supposed
- 2:26:39Speaker 4: to be like a fourth or fifth round pick and
- 2:26:41Speaker 4: he's still.
- 2:26:41Speaker 2: Available mark In, Lakeland florida wants to know how we
- 2:26:44Speaker 2: stand on the back of the envelope guys of The
- 2:26:47Speaker 2: patriots taking any of? Them, no so Far Kobe, Young
- 2:26:51Speaker 2: tanacozio And Jude Barry bowery have been, taken but there's
- 2:26:56Speaker 2: still uh, one, two, three, four, five six guys.
- 2:27:02Speaker 5: That still the seventh rounds your time to.
- 2:27:04Speaker 2: Shine Nolan rucci is the guy THAT i think will
- 2:27:06Speaker 2: end up being a patriotlan Because Todd, Ruthy, YEAH i
- 2:27:09Speaker 2: think he'll end up being A.
- 2:27:10Speaker 5: Patriot getting. Invited we love.
- 2:27:12Speaker 4: That so they're gonna make nine, picks right if they? Don't,
- 2:27:15Speaker 4: yes that's they started with, Eleven, PAUL.
- 2:27:18Speaker 3: I, know AND i got all, excited, sure just getting.
- 2:27:23Speaker 4: UPSET i wonder if IF i, listen it's not my,
- 2:27:26Speaker 4: Board but IF i was the, LIKE i wouldn't you
- 2:27:28Speaker 4: just at this point of the draft to start throwing
- 2:27:30Speaker 4: some darts at some of these like Like i'm off
- 2:27:33Speaker 4: the field. Stuff you have to be comfortable with. That but,
- 2:27:36Speaker 4: like you, know if it's injury related or you, know
- 2:27:39Speaker 4: If Dante corleone has like the blood clot thing popped
- 2:27:42Speaker 4: up in medical re checks or something, like but you
- 2:27:44Speaker 4: got to, lose like if the, guy if the guy's
- 2:27:46Speaker 4: health pans out and he's you, know he's gonna be
- 2:27:48Speaker 4: a good. Player he's gonna be better than most six round.
- 2:27:51Speaker 2: Picks jeremy writes in we have some time to kill
- 2:27:55Speaker 2: before the. Picks we probably all agree that wide receiver
- 2:27:58Speaker 2: one Is Aj? Brown why receiver two Is Romeo? Dobbs
- 2:28:01Speaker 2: would you agree.
- 2:28:02Speaker 5: With that wide?
- 2:28:03Speaker 2: Receiver so if you were THE gm or the wide receiver,
- 2:28:06Speaker 2: coach who would you be banking on as you're starting
- 2:28:10Speaker 2: W r, three four and.
- 2:28:11Speaker 5: Five, WELL i Think Mac collins is going to have a.
- 2:28:14Speaker 5: ROLE i, MEAN i don't think you necessarily qualify him
- 2:28:17Speaker 5: as like wide receiver, four BUT i think that's kind
- 2:28:20Speaker 5: of what he. Is like why wide receiver four or?
- 2:28:21Speaker 5: Five but a good, one you, know a guy that can,
- 2:28:24Speaker 5: contribute that has a chemistry With. Drake saw him make
- 2:28:27Speaker 5: some big plays and you, know Super bowl touchdown after.
- 2:28:30Speaker 5: THAT i Just i'm hoping For Kyle williams and then
- 2:28:32Speaker 5: we'll see how it goes out With.
- 2:28:34Speaker 2: But you've really got three for four. There you've Got Kyle,
- 2:28:37Speaker 2: Williams Booty, Pop, douglas And. Hollins those are your four
- 2:28:41Speaker 2: left right, yep, ye you know for all, intents.
- 2:28:44Speaker 5: So you're bringing an extra guy somebody's. OUT i, mean right,
- 2:28:47Speaker 5: now it would point probably Towards. POP i, think you.
- 2:28:50Speaker 4: Know, YEAH i MEAN i think you, ideally to answer the,
- 2:28:52Speaker 4: question like you you'd hope That Kyle williams is the
- 2:28:55Speaker 4: wide receiver. Three that's the ideal situation, realistically just looking
- 2:28:59Speaker 4: how comfortable they were with each other last, Year Mac
- 2:29:01Speaker 4: collins probably has the best.
- 2:29:03Speaker 3: Chance i've been really surprised If mike is wrong And
- 2:29:06Speaker 3: Mac collins doesn't have a significant.
- 2:29:08Speaker 5: Role because of, THAT.
- 2:29:09Speaker 4: I do, wonder you, know maybe he's more of like you,
- 2:29:11Speaker 4: Know paul were you were talking earlier about he's kind
- 2:29:14Speaker 4: of like a slot tight end type of. Player maybe
- 2:29:16Speaker 4: that's the role because he's not going to PLAY. X
- 2:29:19Speaker 4: OBVIOUSLY A. J brown is going to PLAY, x which which.
- 2:29:21Speaker 3: WONDER i worry Where booty winds up because he kind
- 2:29:25Speaker 3: of filled that role last. Year and again we talked
- 2:29:27Speaker 3: about all the trade rumors you, know about him leading
- 2:29:30Speaker 3: into the. Draft does he ended up? STAYING i, mean
- 2:29:32Speaker 3: there's your thing To paul.
- 2:29:34Speaker 5: OF i, mean Mac collins has had some stops and
- 2:29:36Speaker 5: he's kind of been the same player every, place and
- 2:29:38Speaker 5: it just seems like all of a sudden it kind
- 2:29:40Speaker 5: of runs their course and teams move. On doesn't seem
- 2:29:42Speaker 5: like that's the direction it's. Headed BUT i Just i'll
- 2:29:45Speaker 5: be interested to see what happens If Kyle williams doesn't really,
- 2:29:48Speaker 5: progress and you, know because he's going to be in
- 2:29:51Speaker 5: a situation where he needs to show.
- 2:29:53Speaker 2: SOMETHING i just wonder If Kyle, williams.
- 2:29:57Speaker 4: When you think, of you, KNOW A. J brown at
- 2:29:59Speaker 4: this stage of his, Career Romeo, dobbs Neither, BURNERS i
- 2:30:03Speaker 4: would SAY A. J brown's winning with. Physicality you, Know
- 2:30:06Speaker 4: Romeo dobbs is winning with like craftiness and you, know
- 2:30:09Speaker 4: sort of, consistency, steadiness at least For Kyle, williams like
- 2:30:14Speaker 4: the path is is that you're the one like that
- 2:30:17Speaker 4: can really stretch the field with your. Speed you. Know
- 2:30:19Speaker 4: Matt collins has sneaky, speed you, know BUT i don't
- 2:30:22Speaker 4: know if that's truly, like you, know this is a different.
- 2:30:24Speaker 4: Dimension Kyle williams kind of brings a little bit of
- 2:30:26Speaker 4: a different dimension and obviously more size than Than pop you,
- 2:30:31Speaker 4: know who has speed. Too so IF i Was Kyle,
- 2:30:34Speaker 4: williams like that's how that would be the best case
- 2:30:36Speaker 4: scenario to me is, like you, Know i'm kind of
- 2:30:39Speaker 4: complimentary to these two, guys and maybe that's what they're.
- 2:30:42Speaker 4: THINKING i don't know how much ex they're putting In
- 2:30:44Speaker 4: Kyle williams's, basket but maybe they're, thinking you, KNOW. A.
- 2:30:47Speaker 4: J brown is gonna win with you, know, physicality and
- 2:30:51Speaker 4: he's gonna win the, ball and you Know dobb's gonna
- 2:30:53Speaker 4: win with his route running and we got our, Burner.
- 2:30:56Speaker 2: KYLE i do have to. Apologize they said they have
- 2:30:58Speaker 2: four players for three. Positions really five players left.
- 2:31:01Speaker 4: Out i'm glad that you corrected, that because you know,
- 2:31:06Speaker 4: what you should at least bring him up like he
- 2:31:09Speaker 4: deserves to be brought.
- 2:31:10Speaker 5: Up, yeah, yeh he should be in the. MIX i
- 2:31:13Speaker 5: mean your two get, stronger small school kid you.
- 2:31:16Speaker 2: Know, yep come In eddie's In New. York what's, Up?
- 2:31:19Speaker 3: EDDIE i thought we WERE i thought we were improving the.
- 2:31:22Speaker 3: ROSTER i was trying to. Win Sorry eddie?
- 2:31:25Speaker 12: There, yes, yes what's?
- 2:31:28Speaker 2: Up?
- 2:31:28Speaker 10: Going first time call on love you guys. Show i'm
- 2:31:32Speaker 10: a big dew fan of the offensive. Line do you
- 2:31:35Speaker 10: think The patriots have done enough to address your line
- 2:31:38Speaker 10: or should or not? Enough whether remain pick should go?
- 2:31:41Speaker 10: There Because i'm the one to think that if you
- 2:31:44Speaker 10: protect the, quarterback any wide receiver could get. OPEN i
- 2:31:47Speaker 10: just want to pay your take on.
- 2:31:49Speaker 2: The, okay have they done enough to offensive on? Guard?
- 2:31:53Speaker 5: Yes, YEAH i take out of guard. HERE i MEAN
- 2:31:54Speaker 5: i don't think is.
- 2:31:55Speaker 2: It going to? WORK i don't, know BUT i think
- 2:31:56Speaker 2: they've addressed.
- 2:31:57Speaker 4: IT i Mean Elijah, Vera tucker And Caleb. BLOMO i
- 2:32:00Speaker 4: Mean Bear tucker is one of your bigger free agent.
- 2:32:02Speaker 4: Signings loan was your first round.
- 2:32:03Speaker 3: PICK i mean and that's coming on the heels of
- 2:32:06Speaker 3: taking a tackle with the fourth overall. PICK i, mean
- 2:32:10Speaker 3: there's so much more you can.
- 2:32:10Speaker 5: Do there's always more things you could.
- 2:32:12Speaker 3: Do but they had a first and a third round
- 2:32:14Speaker 3: pick last year that are. Starting they had a first
- 2:32:17Speaker 3: round pick this year that at the very least is
- 2:32:18Speaker 3: going to provide.
- 2:32:19Speaker 5: Depth.
- 2:32:20Speaker 3: You As evan, said one of your one of your
- 2:32:23Speaker 3: top free agent signings was a starting. Guard last, year
- 2:32:27Speaker 3: you also signed a starter at tackle and free agency
- 2:32:31Speaker 3: In Morgan. Moses everybody tells me that there's no lineman
- 2:32:36Speaker 3: in the, league but yet The patriots are thin at
- 2:32:39Speaker 3: the offensive line because they don't have a seventh or eighth.
- 2:32:41Speaker 3: Option and this is not directed at the. Caller this
- 2:32:45Speaker 3: is kind of what's going on around. Here like a
- 2:32:46Speaker 3: lot of the REP i mean offensive. LINE i, mean
- 2:32:49Speaker 3: they got to do something about that offensive. Line how
- 2:32:51Speaker 3: much more can you?
- 2:32:52Speaker 4: Do you just have to talent.
- 2:32:54Speaker 2: Correctly you can't complain about. It they do, stuff and then,
- 2:32:58Speaker 2: oh they shouldn't have taken linemen you've been.
- 2:33:00Speaker 3: SAYING i don't think anybody saying they shouldn't have taken.
- 2:33:02Speaker 3: LINEMAN i think people are, wondering did they take enough,
- 2:33:04Speaker 3: lineman AND i don't, LIKE i don't know how many
- 2:33:06Speaker 3: of you can, take, Right, like The chargers were like
- 2:33:09Speaker 3: six seven deep at tackle last year and they still
- 2:33:11Speaker 3: found a way to get to the. PLAYOFFS i, mean
- 2:33:13Speaker 3: obviously we saw that they had no shot when they
- 2:33:15Speaker 3: got there because of. That but that's kind of uncommonly
- 2:33:19Speaker 3: bad luck what they what they went through with the
- 2:33:21Speaker 3: tackle position last.
- 2:33:22Speaker 5: Year, yeah and they've had a good uh draft solidifying.
- 2:33:25Speaker 5: That you, know one of the guys we. LIKED i
- 2:33:27Speaker 5: think they Grabbed Travis. BURKE i think maybe yeah.
- 2:33:30Speaker 3: Play i'm saying everybody says there aren't enough tackles in the,
- 2:33:33Speaker 3: league and The patriots have a problem because they don't
- 2:33:36Speaker 3: have a third or fourth tack do you, Know, LIKE
- 2:33:40Speaker 3: i just don't know what else you can.
- 2:33:42Speaker 5: DO i, mean that's it's like all of this right.
- 2:33:45Speaker 5: Now it's like they don't have a third, linebacker they.
- 2:33:47Speaker 4: Don't want offensive, lineman and The patriots have drafted an offensive.
- 2:33:54Speaker 4: Lineman The patriots Drafted Demitrius cronover From TEXAS a AND
- 2:33:59Speaker 4: m so so really interesting. Player he was like WHEN
- 2:34:03Speaker 4: i started the process back In, february everybody thought that
- 2:34:05Speaker 4: he was going to be like a top one hundred.
- 2:34:07Speaker 4: PICK i don't know why he fell out of the
- 2:34:09Speaker 4: draft this. FAR i then The beast came out And
- 2:34:13Speaker 4: dane had, him you, know around this range as. WELL a,
- 2:34:16Speaker 4: big powerful right. Tackle this is a pure right tackle.
- 2:34:19Speaker 4: Prospect he played right tackle At TEXAS a AND. M
- 2:34:22Speaker 4: but big, hands you, know lots of raw power to his,
- 2:34:25Speaker 4: game you, know kind of that prototypical right side of
- 2:34:28Speaker 4: the line type of. Player but he's sixty seven three nineteen.
- 2:34:32Speaker 4: Pounds you ready for this, one, dude.
- 2:34:33Speaker 5: Give it to.
- 2:34:34Speaker 4: Me thirty five and three eighth inch. Arms thirty five
- 2:34:40Speaker 4: and three eighth in arms on this, guy so extremely long.
- 2:34:43Speaker 4: Arms he locks him out really heavy cinder block for.
- 2:34:47Speaker 4: Hands but you know he's got some development to. Do
- 2:34:50Speaker 4: another guy that, has you, know a lot of development to.
- 2:34:54Speaker 4: Do AND i think a lot of people were worried
- 2:34:56Speaker 4: about some of that type of. Stuff but from a
- 2:34:59Speaker 4: raw ball Of clay's standpoint in terms of measurable's, length
- 2:35:05Speaker 4: power play, Strength, uh he's got that foundation to, potentially you,
- 2:35:10Speaker 4: know stick in the.
- 2:35:10Speaker 5: League do you think they're gonna take maybe just take
- 2:35:12Speaker 5: some of his arms off and give it to you,
- 2:35:14Speaker 5: know other members of the offensive line is.
- 2:35:16Speaker 4: That it's possible you could take a half inch.
- 2:35:19Speaker 2: Off is he long for this?
- 2:35:21Speaker 5: One, WELL i MEAN i think it's A i MEAN
- 2:35:23Speaker 5: i think this guy probably a little bit more of
- 2:35:25Speaker 5: a ceiling than you might, expect but similar. SIZE i,
- 2:35:28Speaker 5: mean another you, know.
- 2:35:29Speaker 4: Giant, YEAH i MEAN i had him at forty first
- 2:35:35Speaker 4: in my big on my big. Boards good win for.
- 2:35:37Speaker 4: YOU i pulled that one on BECAUSE i when, originally you,
- 2:35:42Speaker 4: know LIKE i, said when we started this back In,
- 2:35:44Speaker 4: february this was one of those guys that was going
- 2:35:46Speaker 4: to be in their sweet spot in the third or fourth.
- 2:35:48Speaker 2: Round might have looked at your board.
- 2:35:50Speaker 4: Maybe at ninety five, One like all the early mocks
- 2:35:55Speaker 4: had cronover as, like, well if you don't take tackle
- 2:35:58Speaker 4: in the first, round then maybe we'll take him in
- 2:36:00Speaker 4: the middle. Rounds and this was the, guy you know
- 2:36:02Speaker 4: when this all. Started i'll have to do something you
- 2:36:05Speaker 4: and find out. Why you know that didn't come out
- 2:36:08Speaker 4: once the grade came out for the teams at the
- 2:36:10Speaker 4: end of the. Draft but you, KNOW i compared him
- 2:36:13Speaker 4: To Cam. Robinson you, KNOW i think that that he's
- 2:36:15Speaker 4: got that kind of physicality and that kind of power to.
- 2:36:18Speaker 4: Him but the arms is obviously what stands. OUT i
- 2:36:20Speaker 4: mean he's got the guy's got over thirty five inch,
- 2:36:23Speaker 4: Arms so that's, like you, know rare kind of arm
- 2:36:25Speaker 4: light that you don't see every.
- 2:36:26Speaker 2: Day, Okay so that means The rams are on the.
- 2:36:31Speaker 2: Clock they just traded in to the one hundred and
- 2:36:33Speaker 2: ninety seventh pick and then it's The patriots again at
- 2:36:37Speaker 2: one ninety, Eight so we've got another big pick coming.

- 2:37:57Speaker 5: is he going into the?
- 2:37:58Speaker 4: GUARD i, Mean paul's give an.
- 2:37:59Speaker 5: Eyeball paul's just talking about we don't have enough. TACKLES i,
- 2:38:02Speaker 5: mean right now you, have by my. COUNT i know
- 2:38:05Speaker 5: some of them are, bumps but you have eight, tackles you,
- 2:38:08Speaker 5: know including some of the practice squad guys from last
- 2:38:10Speaker 5: Year's Lawrence Matt Marcus bryant from last. Year.
- 2:38:14Speaker 3: YEAH i think they're they're trying to add some. Depth
- 2:38:17Speaker 3: this is where you. GET i was told You i'll
- 2:38:19Speaker 3: be stunned if they don't take some offensive lineman in day.
- 2:38:22Speaker 5: THREE i would have thought probably a.
- 2:38:24Speaker 3: Guard maybe we'll get a guard. Now But i'm not
- 2:38:27Speaker 3: overly surprised about a, tackle And evan had one that
- 2:38:30Speaker 3: was on his. Radar, YEAH i should get tickets or
- 2:38:32Speaker 3: can't be too much of.
- 2:38:33Speaker 4: Us, No i'm pretty excited about this pick BECAUSE i
- 2:38:36Speaker 4: thought that he was going to go much higher because
- 2:38:38Speaker 4: you had him on your.
- 2:38:39Speaker 5: Board, NO i, mean like.
- 2:38:42Speaker 4: They picked him at one ninety, six and you, KNOW
- 2:38:44Speaker 4: i just looking at the consensus. Board WHEN i published
- 2:38:47Speaker 4: my big, board the consensus ranking for him was one
- 2:38:49Speaker 4: hundred and three and they drafted them at one ninety.
- 2:38:52Speaker 4: Six elliott will talk after the. Draft maybe there's more
- 2:38:55Speaker 4: to the story that we don't know about about why
- 2:38:57Speaker 4: he fell ninety something picks off. Consensus but the one
- 2:39:01Speaker 4: THING i would say is like WHEN i watched, HIM
- 2:39:03Speaker 4: i didn't really feel like guard was in his. Future
- 2:39:07Speaker 4: he actually played tight end early on and then put
- 2:39:10Speaker 4: on weight and then became a, Tackle so he's already
- 2:39:13Speaker 4: kind of moved one spot over. Already SO i didn't
- 2:39:16Speaker 4: watch him and, think you know that he had like
- 2:39:19Speaker 4: he doesn't play like a. Guard he plays a little
- 2:39:21Speaker 4: bit more, upright is you know. Lamb his like leverage
- 2:39:25Speaker 4: is a little bit more higher. Cut so, LIKE i
- 2:39:27Speaker 4: didn't really see him as someone that could play, guard
- 2:39:30Speaker 4: BUT i did see him as like a classic McDaniel's right,
- 2:39:35Speaker 4: tackle and McDaniel's historically has had The Marcus cannons like
- 2:39:39Speaker 4: that kind of right tackle that was just like a
- 2:39:41Speaker 4: rogue grading type of. Player and that's like what this
- 2:39:44Speaker 4: guy sort of reminded me of. Of SO i think
- 2:39:48Speaker 4: that this is pretty solid pick. Here this is WHAT
- 2:39:50Speaker 4: i wanted them to do in this, round was, like
- 2:39:52Speaker 4: all these guys that have fallen through the cracks for whatever,
- 2:39:55Speaker 4: reason just just take some, darts you, know throw some
- 2:39:57Speaker 4: darts on some of these guys and hopefully some of
- 2:40:00Speaker 4: them work. OUT i think they traded out.
- 2:40:01Speaker 20: Again, yeah The, vikings and that's going to be until
- 2:40:05Speaker 20: two thirty. Four all, Right, well so that means we
- 2:40:10Speaker 20: should probably wrap things up so you guys can get to.
- 2:40:12Speaker 5: Work we didn't add a, pick, though we did not
- 2:40:15Speaker 5: for next.
- 2:40:15Speaker 2: Year, yeah well we're gonna need that next.
- 2:40:18Speaker 5: YEAR i don't care same.
- 2:40:20Speaker 2: Today all, Right, okay that's.
