14
00:00:47,760 –> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: Cannot wait to be able to talk about the base
15
00:00:50,640 –> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: ten system as far as this draft class is concerned.
16
00:00:54,640 –> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: So excited for the Chiefs Kingdom to talk about each
17
00:00:57,000 –> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: and every one of these draft picks. I saw Shop

00:00:58,760 –> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: on Saturday after Draft Fast and he wanted to talk
19
00:01:01,080 –> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: about the draft. We’re at the parking lot for thirty minutes.
20
00:01:03,320 –> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: He’s like, I just want to talk about this guy
21
00:01:05,319 –> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: and like, all right, shop, And then I was like,
22
00:01:06,959 –> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: what are you doing on Monday? You want to come
23
00:01:08,280 –> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: and talk about it on a podcast, And he’s like,
24
00:01:09,840 –> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: let’s do it. So here he is. You know how
25
00:01:11,360 –> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: that motor goes? Yeah, when the Spider Man and the
26
00:01:13,480 –> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: barbershop just just doesn’t turn off, it just goes. So
27
00:01:16,560 –> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: the base ten. For you mathematicians out there, you’re going, yeah,
28
00:01:19,800 –> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: we get that. It’s basically our mathematical system, right, you
29
00:01:23,600 –> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: have ten digit zero through nine and then you start
30
00:01:26,160 –> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: all over at ten and move on. That’s about my
31
00:01:28,360 –> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: mathematical expertise. But just know that our lives are so
32
00:01:32,680 –> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: affected by the base ten mathematical system. The Kansas City
33
00:01:36,520 –> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: chiefs lives could be affected with this base ten draft
34
00:01:41,120 –> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: class of twenty twenty two that the three of us love.
35
00:01:44,040 –> 00:01:47,440

36
00:01:47,520 –> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: of them here, So we’re going to scoot along. But
37
00:01:49,680 –> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: before we do that, it’s a defending the Kingdom tradition
38
00:01:52,880 –> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: that we get in our spaceship and go around the world. Yeah,
39
00:01:56,000 –> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: this might take longer than going through the draft picks
40
00:01:58,080 –> 00:02:00,560

117
00:06:07,440 –> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: entire Defending the Kingdom show sometime with the three of us,
118
00:06:11,360 –> 00:06:14,560

119
00:06:14,560 –> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: can go through, but behind the enemy Lines one and
120
00:06:16,960 –> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: I love it in Colorado Springs. You might have just
121
00:06:18,800 –> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: put it out there for all the customers to go. Hey,
122
00:06:21,760 –> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: that’s the name of the place. Behind enemy lines love. Okay,
123
00:06:25,200 –> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: let’s jump into and by the way, so we had
124
00:06:27,480 –> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: South America, we had Eastern Europe, Asia, Asia, Australia. So
125
00:06:34,279 –> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: we almost hit all the continents again. Yeah, no Africa
126
00:06:36,480 –> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: this week, and no in Arctica. Still working in wait
127
00:06:39,279 –> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: on that. Okay, let’s jump in out of the base ten,
128
00:06:41,800 –> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: the mathematical system that is part of our lives more
129
00:06:44,040 –> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: than any of us know. And then the base ten,
130
00:06:46,640 –> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: which are the ten draft picks for the Chiefs in
131
00:06:49,279 –> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Now let’s go back to two defending
132
00:06:52,920 –> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: the Kingdoms Ago, go leaping back there and revisit if
133
00:06:56,680 –> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: you want to have some fun, and the one we
134
00:06:58,160 –> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: did on volume value and victor, because honestly it became prophecy.
135
00:07:03,000 –> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: This feels like volume value and victory. We’re gonna go
136
00:07:05,920 –> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: write down all ten of these picks and shop will
137
00:07:08,480 –> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: start with you because let’s go to Trent mcduffey. Let’s
138
00:07:10,960 –> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: go mcduffey. All three of us were thinking would be ten, eleven, twelve,
139
00:07:15,280 –> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: thirteen ish. All of a sudden he’s there at twenty one.
140
00:07:18,360 –> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: Bret Veach grabs him, makes the trade with New England
141
00:07:21,520 –> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: to jump up and get Trent McDuffie. As a defender
142
00:07:24,760 –> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: who played in this league for over a decade, What
143
00:07:27,400 –> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: do you like about Trent mcduffey, the cornerback from the
144
00:07:29,920 –> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: University of Washington. Well, the thing that jumps off to
145
00:07:32,320 –> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: fims me is his mirro ability. The way he’s able
146
00:07:34,600 –> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: to stay in front of receivers. He’s never panicking all
147
00:07:37,680 –> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: throughout the route progression. He never panics swing the balls
148
00:07:40,240 –> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: in the air, and that’s one thing. It’s very hard
149
00:07:42,200 –> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: to teach DBS at this level. Um kind of reminds
150
00:07:44,640 –> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: me of a Champ Bailey definitely from a footwork standpoint.
151
00:07:49,560 –> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: He’s he’s a technician with his with his arm placement
152
00:07:53,320 –> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: when his stabs, and he’s coming from you Dub who
153
00:07:55,640 –> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: we know is dB university. So yes, he doesn’t have
154
00:07:59,400 –> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: the forty time time and or he doesn’t have the
155
00:08:01,600 –> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 1: height of a Sauce. Um, he doesn’t come with them
156
00:08:05,600 –> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: the resume. I think of Stingley Junior who went to
157
00:08:08,560 –> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: the UM, who went earlier on in the draft. Both
158
00:08:11,000 –> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: of those guys got got drafted higher. But in my board,
159
00:08:13,840 –> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: on my big board when I broke down DBS, he
160
00:08:16,160 –> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: was the number one dB on my board, over Sauce,
161
00:08:18,920 –> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: over both of those jokers. Over both of those jokers. Man,
162
00:08:22,440 –> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: I’ve seen Sauce get beat at the line and he
163
00:08:24,480 –> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: makes plays up there on the field and stuff like that.
164
00:08:26,480 –> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: So he does some flashy type stuff. But I’m telling you,
165
00:08:29,720 –> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: man to be UM consistently in place and play play
166
00:08:33,679 –> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: sound defense. It’s a it’s a dedication, Um that I
167
00:08:37,080 –> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: see in this man’s delivery, and it’s his work ethic
168
00:08:40,200 –> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: that thing is gonna be Man, it’s gonna be lights
169
00:08:42,360 –> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: out when he touches the field and the player comp
170
00:08:45,040 –> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: that heat compares. It reminds me of as I played
171
00:08:48,679 –> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: with the guy Darryl Green and and that size. Daryl
172
00:08:52,400 –> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: told me one thing, I got to the receiver cover
173
00:08:54,880 –> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: when the ball gets there, don’t worry about anything else.
174
00:08:57,240 –> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: When the ball gets there, I’ll be there in time
175
00:08:59,440 –> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: to punch the ball all out. He does an amazing
176
00:09:02,160 –> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: job of tracking the ball high pointed, and even for
177
00:09:04,679 –> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: his size, he plays a lot taller than he really is.
178
00:09:07,600 –> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: So I love the pick of McDuffie. Um. I think
179
00:09:10,440 –> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: we got him at the twenty first one, which is
180
00:09:14,880 –> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: what ten slots of where some thought he was going
181
00:09:16,960 –> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: to be if he becomes Darryl Green, who’s probably one
182
00:09:19,640 –> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: of my top ten all time non Chiefs players of
183
00:09:22,440 –> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: all time. Darryl Green that played twenty years in the league,
184
00:09:27,720 –> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: an amazing dude and great person. Matt, your thoughts here,
185
00:09:32,480 –> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: and I have smart, tough, versatile people think, well, he
186
00:09:36,840 –> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: played a lot of his own technique. You look at
187
00:09:38,559 –> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: the there was a couple of cloud technique plays. He
188
00:09:40,559 –> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: made the big interception. He made it I think against
189
00:09:43,080 –> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: Washington State. But this guy does have man traits and
190
00:09:47,360 –> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: he is wicked smart. Yeah, and just the value was ridiculous,
191
00:09:50,880 –> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: as Sean mentioned, So I for our live stream, I
192
00:09:53,840 –> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: prepared like thirty one sheeters, just quick information about guys
193
00:09:57,280 –> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: that we could possibly draft. So I’d had some half
194
00:09:59,520 –> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: some infol there when we went live and I made
195
00:10:01,920 –> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: all these different one sheheeters and kept joking around that
196
00:10:03,840 –> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: we’re going to take a guy that’s not on my list, right,
197
00:10:06,640 –> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: And the very last one sheheter that I did was
198
00:10:09,320 –> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: for Trent mcduffey. And at that point, I was doing
199
00:10:11,720 –> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: ones for guys that were unrealistic, Like I did one
200
00:10:14,120 –> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: for Sauce, I did one for Stingley, these guys that
201
00:10:16,760 –> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: there’s no way they were going to fall to us,
202
00:10:18,200 –> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 1: and I did one for Trent mcduffey, thinking there’s no
203
00:10:20,640 –> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: way this guy’s gonna fall to us. The value like
204
00:10:23,360 –> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: is just too high there. I mean, he’s too good
205
00:10:25,240 –> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: of a player to be there in a realistic range
206
00:10:27,400 –> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: where the Chiefs could trade up. And when we got
207
00:10:29,840 –> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: to twenty one overall, we traded up for that pick
208
00:10:32,320 –> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: and we got word that we were taking Trent mcduffey,
209
00:10:34,520 –> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: I’m like, what I mean, it’s just unbelievable. And the
210
00:10:37,280 –> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: thing about him is some of these corners in the draft,
211
00:10:40,080 –> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Stingley kind of sticks out to me. They were really
212
00:10:42,400 –> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: good a couple of years ago, and you know they’re
213
00:10:44,240 –> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: great athletes, but the production hasn’t necessarily been there lately,
214
00:10:47,440 –> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: so you kind of wonder what are you getting with that.
215
00:10:49,520 –> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: With Trent mcduffey, he’s just been really good his entire
216
00:10:52,120 –> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: career and look at last year. He allows sixteen catches
217
00:10:55,320 –> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: for only one hundred and eleven yards all year long.
218
00:10:58,400 –> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: People just weren’t throwing at him. He was only targeted
219
00:11:00,800 –> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: thirty six times all year. That’s the best compliment you
220
00:11:03,320 –> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: can ever give a dB. That’s better than a dB
221
00:11:05,679 –> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: having twenty interceptions if no one’s throwing at him, because
222
00:11:08,480 –> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: he’s locking guys down better than anybody. Those one hundred
223
00:11:11,840 –> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: and eleven yards with the fewest allowed in all of
224
00:11:13,600 –> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: college football. He allowed three point one yards per target,
225
00:11:17,800 –> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: also best in the FBS. Zero touchdowns allowed in each
226
00:11:21,440 –> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: of the last two years. When you draft a corner
227
00:11:24,120 –> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: in the first round, you want it to be a dude,
228
00:11:26,440 –> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: a guy that can go out there and lock guys down,
229
00:11:28,640 –> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: and that’s all that Trump McDuffie has done his entire
230
00:11:30,760 –> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: career of Washington. You mentioned how versatile he is. He
231
00:11:33,480 –> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: can play inside but the best of him, but he
232
00:11:35,200 –> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: can also play outside because he plays bigger than his size,
233
00:11:38,559 –> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: and he can play safety if you need him to.
234
00:11:40,600 –> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: And what Spags love to do, loves moving his defensive
235
00:11:43,200 –> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: backs all over the place and treating them truly as
236
00:11:46,000 –> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: defensive backs, not just corners or safeties. So I just
237
00:11:49,240 –> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: love the talent of the kid, but also the value
238
00:11:51,760 –> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: there at twenty one is just incredible. Also, Dave Tobe,
239
00:11:55,080 –> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: when I interviewed him on stage, is going to take
240
00:11:58,440 –> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: a look at McDuffie as a punt returner. And he
241
00:12:00,679 –> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: did some returning at Washington early on, then he became
242
00:12:03,559 –> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: their main corner. But there is going to be an
243
00:12:06,200 –> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: audition there perhaps for Trent mcduffee to be a returner.
244
00:12:09,080 –> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: When he tied himself into the honey Badger, that was
245
00:12:11,880 –> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: a smart move and a pr standpoint. But you see
246
00:12:14,160 –> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: some honey badger in Trent McDuffie’s game. The knock on
247
00:12:17,040 –> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: him size, but he plays bigger than that. You guys
248
00:12:20,200 –> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: both alluded to that and their lack of productivity. Only
249
00:12:22,600 –> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: two picks in three years, but a lot of that
250
00:12:25,400 –> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: was the fact that nobody was throng. Now, what’s wrong
251
00:12:27,200 –> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: at him? All right, let’s go into the next one,
252
00:12:29,000 –> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: and that’s George Carloftus. This is our water polo guy
253
00:12:31,800 –> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: from Greece. Nobody from Greece watching or listing. I guess
254
00:12:35,920 –> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: at least right now to defending the kingdom, they will
255
00:12:38,280 –> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: be if we had the Greek flag out here, we
256
00:12:40,000 –> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: would put it out there because honestly to me, and
257
00:12:42,920 –> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: I’ll get your thoughts first and then we’ll go to
258
00:12:44,800 –> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: shop on this one with Carloftis again drops to thirty.
259
00:12:48,760 –> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: Minnie thought he would be ten picks higher than that.
260
00:12:51,520 –> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: George Carloftus. So smart, tough, versatile, dependable, durable, and this
261
00:12:58,520 –> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: guy spags can do a lot of things. With George
262
00:13:00,960 –> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 1: karlofts it’s like the same buzzwords for McDuffie, right. That’s
263
00:13:03,760 –> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: kind of the theme of this draft is smart, tough, durable, versatile,
264
00:13:07,080 –> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: and Carlottis is all of those things really productive last year.
265
00:13:10,320 –> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: He had fifty four pressures last season, second bust pass
266
00:13:14,040 –> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: rush win rate last season behind only Aiden Hutchinson. That
267
00:13:17,120 –> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: guy’s pretty good. Went number two overall, So consistently winning,
268
00:13:20,720 –> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: and he’s versatile. He’s a big guy, so he’s versatile.
269
00:13:23,120 –> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: You can play him on the edge or inside, and
270
00:13:25,760 –> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: he’s a power rusher. That’s what he’s gonna do. This
271
00:13:28,080 –> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: guy is one of the most strong guys in this
272
00:13:30,440 –> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: entire draft, and he’s just gonna bull rush and barrel
273
00:13:33,200 –> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 1: over people. And that’s what you kind of hope translates
274
00:13:35,640 –> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: to the NFL. He’s also an iron man, so he
275
00:13:38,400 –> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: had at least forty nine snaps and all but one
276
00:13:40,679 –> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: game last season. And that gets back to his versatility.
277
00:13:43,280 –> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: He never wants to come off the field, so in
278
00:13:45,360 –> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: certain situations where you don’t necessarily need all your edge
279
00:13:48,400 –> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: rushers out there, he’s like, all right, I’ll bounce inside
280
00:13:50,640 –> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: if I can, and vice versa. So I love that
281
00:13:53,000 –> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: about him. He described himself as relentless, and I mentioned
282
00:13:55,960 –> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: that on our last podcast, but I just love it.
283
00:13:58,200 –> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: You want that out of a first round edge rush,
284
00:14:00,360 –> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: and you want a guy who’s relentless, who just wants
285
00:14:02,200 –> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: to go out there and contribute in any way that
286
00:14:03,960 –> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: he can. He doesn’t care that he’s only in there
287
00:14:06,360 –> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: in sack situations. He doesn’t care about that. He wants
288
00:14:09,000 –> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: to get after the ball carrier and help his team win.
289
00:14:11,400 –> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: And that’s George Carloftish and I love that he has
290
00:14:13,960 –> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder. He was saying that twenty
291
00:14:16,360 –> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: nine teams are going to regret not taking him before
292
00:14:19,280 –> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: that spot. So he’s gonna go out there and and
293
00:14:21,400 –> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: be relentless throughout his entire career. And and I can’t wait.
294
00:14:25,000 –> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: I’ve seen this kind of cat come out the draft before,
295
00:14:28,200 –> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: and recently we’ve actually faced the kit. It reminds me
296
00:14:31,080 –> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: a lot of Carloftus and it’s Sam Hubbard with Cincinnati
297
00:14:35,600 –> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: great because so effective, it’s it’s it’s hard because the
298
00:14:38,920 –> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: guy doesn’t jump off the page as far as his
299
00:14:41,720 –> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: vertical lead or his forty times or any of the metrics,
300
00:14:45,560 –> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: but so productive, always doing something for the team, always
301
00:14:49,360 –> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: taking on a double team, always holding blocks off so
302
00:14:51,960 –> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: the linebackers and shoot the gaps consistently getting closer and closer.
303
00:14:56,000 –> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: And this collapse in the pocket around the quarterback versus
304
00:14:59,520 –> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: that spla ash off the edge that were used to
305
00:15:02,880 –> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: seeing in the NFL. And now that I think that
306
00:15:04,840 –> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: the NFL is starting to like just as a systematically,
307
00:15:08,720 –> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: we know that they’re they’re not pressuring as much just
308
00:15:11,720 –> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: just the collectiveness of the NFL overall defensive coordinators I
309
00:15:15,160 –> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: think are getting away from that all out blitz dog
310
00:15:17,840 –> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: mode and you’re gonna see people dropping into more two
311
00:15:21,120 –> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: shelves and rushing four, rushing just three in that pocket
312
00:15:25,040 –> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: now just has to be constricted slowly around the quarterback,
313
00:15:28,880 –> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: and it takes certain body types that are strong enough
314
00:15:31,400 –> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: to hold on. It’s only three against five offensive linements,
315
00:15:34,520 –> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: but you still got to find a way to get
316
00:15:35,880 –> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: to that quarterback. And I think the way when I
317
00:15:37,840 –> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: see him on film, he’s very consistent about keeping his
318
00:15:41,440 –> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: eyes on the quarterback, always gaining ground using that pressure.
319
00:15:46,800 –> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: I’m using that strength to get just collapse that pocket.
320
00:15:49,320 –> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: So I’m very excited about a guy who I had
321
00:15:51,280 –> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: is my fourth overall end. Here’s my fourth overall edge
322
00:15:54,200 –> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: when I ranked him, But there was no way I
323
00:15:56,960 –> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: thought he would be available after fifteen. People joke of
324
00:15:59,680 –> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: the fact that he played water polo to me, and
325
00:16:02,720 –> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: we talk about this too. That’s a part of his strength.
326
00:16:05,200 –> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: That’s the reason he played fifty snaps a game every time,
327
00:16:08,280 –> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: like you can’t get him off the field. This guy
328
00:16:09,880 –> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: is durable. Now. The knock on him is hey maybe
329
00:16:12,600 –> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: too much bullrush. He’s got to add something to his game. Well,
330
00:16:15,280 –> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: there’s Joe cole in, the new defensive line coach. Remember
331
00:16:18,800 –> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: Brandon Daily moved to linebackers. But this guy’s just getting started.
332
00:16:22,680 –> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: He really hasn’t played that much football, so just getting
333
00:16:26,480 –> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: started with George karloftas but exciting to see this guy
334
00:16:29,160 –> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: play a motor in toughness. All right, people are waiting
335
00:16:32,360 –> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs Kingdom. What are they going to do?
336
00:16:33,760 –> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: A wide receiver. They’re gonna get a wide receiver. They
337
00:16:35,960 –> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: get a wide receiver out of Western Michigan, right at
338
00:16:39,040 –> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: the same school to produce Corey Davis. Just a couple
339
00:16:41,280 –> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: of years ago, the Chiefs gets sky More at five
340
00:16:45,720 –> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: nine one led FBS with twenty six broken tackles, highly productive,
341
00:16:50,000 –> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: almost one hundred catch season. We’ll start with you, shot
342
00:16:53,160 –> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: sky More. What do you think, Well, we always start
343
00:16:56,000 –> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: with those pro cops. And obviously, playing teen years in
344
00:16:58,320 –> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: the league, I played with a lot of guys that
345
00:16:59,640 –> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: were me of this young man. So I’m thinking Eddie Kennison,
346
00:17:02,560 –> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: I’m thinking Lance More, I’m thinking receivers like that. Also
347
00:17:05,680 –> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: played with a very productive James Thrash, another small school guy.
348
00:17:11,920 –> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: Very underrated, had a long career. Strong hands, big hands,
349
00:17:16,760 –> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: always can possess the ball. Um always is in the
350
00:17:19,920 –> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 1: right place. And I think sometimes as a quarterback, UM,
351
00:17:23,240 –> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: you know, you get away from having these ultra highly effective,
352
00:17:26,840 –> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: highly elusive type receivers that are just jumping off the page.
353
00:17:31,000 –> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: You want somebody’s you can can can consistently know it’s
354
00:17:34,880 –> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: gonna be at the right place the right time when
355
00:17:37,000 –> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: you deliver the ball, and catching the ball is almost
356
00:17:40,119 –> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: I’m not not even worth thinking about. Once you throw,
357
00:17:42,640 –> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: it is in his hands, his court, and he’s making
358
00:17:44,560 –> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: positive yarders. So I see a comp of those three guys.
359
00:17:48,480 –> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: If he comes close to any of duals three guys,
360
00:17:50,480 –> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: he’s gonna have a long career in the Chief’s kingdom.
361
00:17:53,240 –> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: He was targeted one hundred and twenty five times last year,
362
00:17:56,920 –> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: three drops the entire year. Huge hands like and sure handed,
363
00:18:01,240 –> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: and that’s what you want. My concept for sky More
364
00:18:04,359 –> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: is he can run a slant over the middle with
365
00:18:06,280 –> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: his quickness because his speed might not jump off the
366
00:18:09,240 –> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: page in terms of combine measurables, but he’s quick off
367
00:18:12,040 –> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: the line, one of the quickest receivers off the line,
368
00:18:14,280 –> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: and this entire draft, he can beat a dB out
369
00:18:16,920 –> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: of his break run that slant catch the ball because
370
00:18:19,600 –> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: he’s sure handed, and as you said with the broken tackles,
371
00:18:22,520 –> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: he’s one of the most elusive receivers in this entire class.
372
00:18:25,640 –> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: PFF said that if all the receivers in this class
373
00:18:28,119 –> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: played tag, he would win, all right. So he’s super
374
00:18:31,520 –> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: elusive and I love that about him. The production last
375
00:18:34,040 –> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: year you kind of mentioned it. Ninety four grabs for
376
00:18:35,960 –> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred yards and ten touchdowns. Just the agility that
377
00:18:39,760 –> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: he shows is really exciting. PF compared him to Julian Edelman.
378
00:18:43,560 –> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: Of course it’s a high comp but just really exciting
379
00:18:46,359 –> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: to have kind of that safety valve over the middle
380
00:18:49,000 –> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs, and think like third and four, third
381
00:18:51,200 –> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: and five, having that guy that’s reliable every single time
382
00:18:53,960 –> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: can get himself open and catch the football when it’s
383
00:18:56,600 –> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: thrown at him. I just love this pick. And just
384
00:18:59,000 –> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: like the other guys, ship on this guy’s shoulder. I mean,
385
00:19:01,520 –> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: he was under recruited out of the Pittsburgh area, ends
386
00:19:04,560 –> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: up at Western Michigan and just let the world on fire.
387
00:19:07,280 –> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: But he’s convinced he’s going to show people he’s better
388
00:19:10,000 –> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: than what people seem to think of him, and he’s
389
00:19:11,760 –> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: consistently doubted, and I love those kind of players because
390
00:19:14,480 –> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: guys that are doubted are going to show up ready
391
00:19:16,200 –> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: to go. One of the things that I love about
392
00:19:19,240 –> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: him and the coordinators mentioned this because EB mentioned it.
393
00:19:23,240 –> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: Eric Bienemy on stage with me on Saturday at Draft Fest.
394
00:19:27,119 –> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: Western PA’s really good football. This was a high school
395
00:19:29,600 –> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: quarterback much like McCole Hardman was. He was also a
396
00:19:32,280 –> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: high school dB. He was recruited by Western Michigan as
397
00:19:35,440 –> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: ADB and to me, receivers many times receivers turn into dbs.
398
00:19:40,359 –> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: Sometimes dbs turn into receivers, and I think it helps
399
00:19:43,440 –> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: him when it’s that way, because they understand coverages, they
400
00:19:46,520 –> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: understand how to get open, and they can understand how
401
00:19:48,560 –> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: to move the chains. Do not forget Go back and
402
00:19:51,160 –> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: look at the video if you can. Throughout around the
403
00:19:53,880 –> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: world for our defending the kingdom, viewers and listeners find
404
00:19:58,080 –> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh They beat Pittsburgh. Western Michigan bat Pittsburgh and
405
00:20:02,200 –> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett in a big reason was Sky Moore’s Big
406
00:20:05,320 –> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 1: place excited about this one. All right, let’s jump in
407
00:20:08,000 –> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: out of the next pick and this I’m gonna start
408
00:20:10,400 –> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: with Matt on this one because this is a guy.
409
00:20:12,240 –> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: On April the eleventh, was sending me stuff. Hey, watch
410
00:20:15,840 –> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: Brian Cook’s video. Watch Bran Cooks video. The Chiefs get
411
00:20:18,600 –> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: Brian Cook out of the University of Cincinnati. Another incredible
412
00:20:22,000 –> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: value pick what did you like about him? On April eleventh?
413
00:20:25,080 –> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: And what do you love about him now? I text
414
00:20:26,880 –> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: Mitch in April eleventh, I’m working on one of my
415
00:20:28,960 –> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: draft talk videos. I’m gonna look at safety’s right, and
416
00:20:31,160 –> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: I’m looking at all these different guys, guys like Jalen Petrie,
417
00:20:34,720 –> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: Nick Cross, all these different dudes, guys that will be
418
00:20:36,920 –> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: highly drafted, and I stumble upon a kid named Brian
419
00:20:39,960 –> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: Cook from Cincinnati, and I watch his video and I’m like,
420
00:20:44,520 –> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: oh my god, we need this guy. He’s an enforcer
421
00:20:47,640 –> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: type safety, which I just love in the box when
422
00:20:50,800 –> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: you have a guy running a shallow crosser or something
423
00:20:53,400 –> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: and you can have an enforcer safety that reminds them
424
00:20:56,040 –> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: that they’re there every single time. I’m big hits from
425
00:20:59,280 –> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: this guy. He’s a sure tackler, only seven miss tackles
426
00:21:02,840 –> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: on one hundred attempts last year. And I mentioned a
427
00:21:05,480 –> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: true hybrid player, So four hundred and fifty snaps and
428
00:21:08,200 –> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: coverage last year, but had the ninth most forced in
429
00:21:10,920 –> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: completions and also four hundred and fifty snaps against the
430
00:21:13,920 –> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: run with the eighth most run stops. So this guy
431
00:21:17,240 –> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: is just absolutely awesome. And in that text chain and
432
00:21:20,240 –> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: we were talking about him, I compared him to Cam Chancellor,
433
00:21:22,960 –> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: which is of course a lofty cop. We’ll see if
434
00:21:24,680 –> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: he can reach that. But you were spying with the
435
00:21:26,080 –> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: eyeball emoji. And then I see him at Draft Fest
436
00:21:28,920 –> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: on Saturday and just getting to know him a little bit,
437
00:21:31,600 –> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: and someone asked him who was your favorite team growing
438
00:21:33,640 –> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: up and he said it was the Seattle Seahawks and
439
00:21:35,560 –> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: the Legion of Boom. And I’m like, okay, I have
440
00:21:37,920 –> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: to show him now, so I show him the text
441
00:21:39,960 –> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: chain between me and you, and I was like, man,
442
00:21:41,480 –> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: I compared you to Cam Chancellor, like a month ago.
443
00:21:43,960 –> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: I was on your team before you were on our team.
444
00:21:45,840 –> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: And He’s like, all right, so we’ll see what he
445
00:21:48,040 –> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: turns into. But I love Brian Cook. Let me get
446
00:21:50,600 –> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: another comp here, might be Sean barburn Away. This was
447
00:21:53,720 –> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: you coming out of college. I’m all play to the
448
00:21:56,480 –> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: crowd here, but this was you. I mean you’re coming
449
00:21:59,400 –> 00:22:02,719
Speaker 1: this guy. Uh that started at Howard right, so he
450
00:22:02,760 –> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: was a small school guy player at HBCU. Then he
451
00:22:04,960 –> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: transferred to Cincinnati. But a guy that is sought to
452
00:22:07,600 –> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: be can play in the box, but also athleticism. But
453
00:22:11,600 –> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: what do you see when you see Brian Man? You
454
00:22:13,840 –> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: know what I see and I know U cam chance
455
00:22:16,920 –> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: it was a lofty goal. I’m I’m gonna go a
456
00:22:18,320 –> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: little bit lofty because I see I mean, I mean,
457
00:22:20,119 –> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I see Brian Dawkins, a guy that it
458
00:22:23,640 –> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: was in my ear my whole career when I was
459
00:22:25,640 –> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia two years I was there. Um, having won
460
00:22:28,720 –> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: a coach reach favorites, but having a knowledge of the game,
461
00:22:31,320 –> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: being able to control the secondary bid to control when
462
00:22:34,480 –> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: it’s a pass set, knowing kind of instinctively where you
463
00:22:37,119 –> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: need to be. But coming with such type of raw emotion. Um,
464
00:22:41,560 –> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: the way he hits guys, the way you see him,
465
00:22:43,359 –> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean it the place stops immediately. I mean he
466
00:22:46,720 –> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: got some woo licks. That what he delivers on these receivers. Man,
467
00:22:50,119 –> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: it makes you to start thinking of some of the
468
00:22:52,080 –> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: greatest hitting safeties in the league. Um. Greg Wesley, who
469
00:22:55,720 –> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: was a Chiefs guy here I’m known for his coverage,
470
00:22:58,320 –> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: but also known because he delivered a below. I had
471
00:23:00,760 –> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: a nasty streak in the way he went about his business.
472
00:23:02,920 –> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: So those two comps obviously both tremendously different players. But
473
00:23:08,000 –> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: I see a little bit of Greg Wessey, I see
474
00:23:09,640 –> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of Brian Dawkins, and I think when
475
00:23:11,560 –> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: you wrap that up, man, this Cook key, it can
476
00:23:13,560 –> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: be very special. When you talk about how Spag is
477
00:23:15,400 –> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: gonna use them to your point, find the video of
478
00:23:17,960 –> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: where he chases down the Temple quarterback. It’s a football
479
00:23:20,680 –> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: camp tackle. It’s awesome. Seven tackles against Georgia at the
480
00:23:24,840 –> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: end of twenty twenty, Yes, those Georgia Bulldogs. And the
481
00:23:27,880 –> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: other point here with Brian Cook is the fact that
482
00:23:30,440 –> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs love to play a very unique coverage four
483
00:23:33,520 –> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: one six. Well, they’ll play three safeties in three corners.
484
00:23:36,200 –> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: Well one of those three safeties better be a box safety.
485
00:23:39,000 –> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: Play those crossers, Matt, like you’ve talked about, deliver a
486
00:23:42,000 –> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: blow and be physical. Or if they check to a
487
00:23:44,160 –> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: run with these running quarterbacks or the single back usually
488
00:23:46,800 –> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: against that, they’ve got to make tackles. It was a
489
00:23:49,200 –> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: big deficiency for the Chiefs in twenty twenty one. Hopefully
490
00:23:52,240 –> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: Cook can fill in that gap. All right, shop, we’re
491
00:23:55,680 –> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: gonna get the first chance here because now we go
492
00:23:57,880 –> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 1: to a guy, Leo Chanell at a University of Wisconsin
493
00:24:01,760 –> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: at sixty three two fifty Major Production Big ten linebacker
494
00:24:06,280 –> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: of the Year called a sender block of strength. All right,
495
00:24:09,960 –> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: here’s Chanelle. What are you think, man? I see the axe. Man.
496
00:24:12,880 –> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: I see him taking out both of those a gaps
497
00:24:14,960 –> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: at will whenever he wants it, almost playing like ten
498
00:24:18,359 –> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: man football. You have everybody else playing the defense, and
499
00:24:21,040 –> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: you allow this, You allow him the freedom to just
500
00:24:23,800 –> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: own command, say I’m gonna take out and I’m gonna
501
00:24:26,080 –> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: blow up anything that comes to that right or left
502
00:24:28,240 –> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: a gap, and then as a defense you play off him.
503
00:24:30,680 –> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: It is so hard for an offense to be able
504
00:24:32,880 –> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: to play defense, I mean play offense when you have
505
00:24:35,640 –> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: defenders that don’t always do what you think they’re gonna do.
506
00:24:38,760 –> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: And this guy has so much instinct. I believe he’s
507
00:24:41,000 –> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: a football mine. Zach Thomas comes to mind. I already
508
00:24:45,160 –> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: said ax man. So that’s Jeremiah Trota. So somewhere in
509
00:24:48,280 –> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: the mix between the Jeremiah Trota and Zach Thomas just
510
00:24:52,080 –> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: knowing the game of football, knowing it to the infinite degree,
511
00:24:55,320 –> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: being as alignment assignment, being one of those guys two
512
00:24:58,880 –> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty some pounds linebacker. Loves to run, loves
513
00:25:01,920 –> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: to hit, he loves football. It’s hard to find guys
514
00:25:04,960 –> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: in this day and time that they’re so focused on
515
00:25:07,560 –> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: the game of football. Love it, eat it, read it,
516
00:25:10,800 –> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: love everything about the game. His physical nature, man, I
517
00:25:14,440 –> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: think I heard he bench press two twenty five about
518
00:25:16,480 –> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: forty sometimes. So he’s a mountain of a man man,
519
00:25:19,520 –> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: and he’s gonna be somebody. Can you can anchor the
520
00:25:22,080 –> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: first and second down runs? After d on the stage
521
00:25:26,080 –> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: during draft facts, you guys heard this when I said, Leo,
522
00:25:28,920 –> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: what do you bring to the table. He just goes
523
00:25:30,480 –> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: violence and physicality. Just that’s all he said. Three words
524
00:25:34,200 –> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: and the places. But puzz Chanel the linebacker from Wisconsin,
525
00:25:38,880 –> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: and there is no hesitation like he knew that. Violence
526
00:25:42,200 –> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 1: and physicality. It’s like, yes, linebacker and that’s what he is.
527
00:25:45,560 –> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: And he also provides the Chiefs with some flexibility in
528
00:25:47,760 –> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: the linebacker corps. So Brett Feach talked about it after
529
00:25:50,119 –> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: he was drafted. But this kid’s a true strong side.
530
00:25:52,560 –> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: Sam linebacker. You can put him out there in your
531
00:25:54,760 –> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: base sets, move will a gay at will where he’s
532
00:25:57,600 –> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: He’s said athletic and can move around and can cover,
533
00:26:00,000 –> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: and that’s where he probably should be. And then also
534
00:26:02,680 –> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: Chanel can back up Nick Bolton that middle linebacker. And
535
00:26:05,480 –> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: you can never have enough depth at those spots, particularly
536
00:26:08,040 –> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: premium depth, like if Leo has to go out there
537
00:26:10,320 –> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: and play middle linebacker. We got to see how he does,
538
00:26:12,640 –> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: of course in the offseason training program, but just based
539
00:26:14,880 –> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: on what we know about him as a prospect, he
540
00:26:16,840 –> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: can do that. So I’m excited about the flexibility he
541
00:26:19,560 –> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: provides the Chiefs. He’s just so athletic, which is just
542
00:26:22,359 –> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: amazing for a player of his size. Now he’s got
543
00:26:24,960 –> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: a forty and a half vertical insane. It’s the same
544
00:26:27,600 –> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: as one Thornhill. Yeah, at sixty three two hundred and
545
00:26:30,680 –> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: fifty pounds. There’s a metric out there called relative athletic score.
546
00:26:34,600 –> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: You might see it on Twitter at math bomb. He’s
547
00:26:37,320 –> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: the guy that does all these things, and it’s a
548
00:26:39,200 –> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: composite of all their combine and protey and all this stuff,
549
00:26:42,240 –> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: like their athletic measurables and compares them to other players
550
00:26:45,600 –> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: in history, and he on a scale of one to ten,
551
00:26:49,359 –> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: his relative athletic score was nine point nine nine. He
552
00:26:52,840 –> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: was the third most athletic linebacker since nineteen eighty seven.
553
00:26:56,240 –> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: There’s over a thousand linebackers that have been graded on
554
00:26:58,880 –> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: this scale since then. He’s number three. I just can’t
555
00:27:02,119 –> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: wait to see what he can do in this defense.
556
00:27:03,840 –> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: And also I like him as a just a blitzer
557
00:27:06,200 –> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: off the edge. Like I’m certain sub packages just use
558
00:27:08,640 –> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: him as a designated blitzer. He can go through that
559
00:27:11,480 –> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: a gap and just blow a guy up. I can’t
560
00:27:13,640 –> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: wait to see what he can do. The only disappointment
561
00:27:16,560 –> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: is our trip around the world. We did not hear
562
00:27:18,280 –> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: from Grantsburg, Wisconsin, because that’s the hometown of Leo Chanel,
563
00:27:22,240 –> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: and that is one thousand, three hundred and seven humans
564
00:27:25,119 –> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: that live in that town. His brothers also play at
565
00:27:27,040 –> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: Wisconsin very near River Falls, where the Chiefs used to
566
00:27:29,960 –> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: have training camp. But little town guy, that’s a big
567
00:27:33,119 –> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: time talent. So that’s the first five of this base
568
00:27:36,920 –> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 1: ten of the Chiefs twenty twenty two draft class. And
569
00:27:40,680 –> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: after those five were chosen, we did have a chance
570
00:27:43,160 –> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: to catch up with general manager Bread Veach all Right,
571
00:27:45,840 –> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: a chance to catch up now with General manager Bread Veach.
572
00:27:48,240 –> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: Let’s start with day one. How excited were you when
573
00:27:51,920 –> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie and George Carlopas fell to you at those spots. Yeah,
574
00:27:56,440 –> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: we were certainly excited, and we joked earlier where you know,
575
00:27:59,640 –> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: we and so much time in regards to going over
576
00:28:02,200 –> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: every scenario and then um, felt like we played out
577
00:28:05,200 –> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: every scenario. But the one scenario we didn’t play out
578
00:28:07,280 –> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: was Trent McDuffie being there, Um in that range we
579
00:28:10,760 –> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: can go op and get him, So to get him
580
00:28:12,119 –> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: and then come back and still feel a big need
581
00:28:14,280 –> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: at d in there with with George was certainly exciting
582
00:28:16,920 –> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: for us and look forward to getting them in here
583
00:28:18,640 –> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: pretty soon. And those two guys, how much are they
584
00:28:21,560 –> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: culture builders? I mean, those are good players. But and
585
00:28:24,320 –> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: then on the heels of what you signed last year, Yeah,
586
00:28:27,320 –> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: and and and then what we came back today and
587
00:28:30,040 –> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: all these guys M Trent, George, Um, you know, Sky
588
00:28:33,920 –> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: and and Lee. All these guys are our guys that
589
00:28:36,720 –> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: love the process, love the game. They’re gonna set the
590
00:28:38,640 –> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: tempo in the in the meeting rooms and that’s going
591
00:28:40,400 –> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: to translate on Sundays. Let’s talk about how day two
592
00:28:43,040 –> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: fell to you because you did some maneuvering again, but
593
00:28:46,080 –> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: the chance to get a sky more and then to
594
00:28:49,000 –> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: get some additions, it’ll help you also in special teams
595
00:28:51,240 –> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: with Cook. Yeah, we got that extra pick and that
596
00:28:53,000 –> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: was big, right. So um uh but no, listen, we um.
597
00:28:57,360 –> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: We knew that we would have opportunities to add some
598
00:28:59,760 –> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: town and we also knew that on Saturday we had
599
00:29:01,680 –> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: a four and you know, handful of sevens and we
600
00:29:04,360 –> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: were sitting there on the clock and kind of felt
601
00:29:07,720 –> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: that was the safe spot to go from fifty to
602
00:29:09,400 –> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: fifty four and get that little bridge pick in between
603
00:29:12,280 –> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: fours and sevens. Um, and then you know, to add
604
00:29:15,120 –> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: a playmaking wide out and sky more and then um
605
00:29:17,520 –> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: add a versatile M linebacker in Leo. Um. You know
606
00:29:21,400 –> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: he’ll be able to come in here and play some
607
00:29:22,680 –> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: SAM place some mic and we certainly need depth at
608
00:29:25,160 –> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: the linebacker position and we need a guy that can
609
00:29:27,040 –> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, play that the backup micro position, back back
610
00:29:30,400 –> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: up mic linebacker position. So um, you know, we’re excited
611
00:29:33,680 –> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: to get him. And like I said, all all these
612
00:29:36,000 –> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: guys that were able to take the last few days here,
613
00:29:38,160 –> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we think these guys am coming right away
614
00:29:39,880 –> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: and help us Day one final question, Day one though two,
615
00:29:42,680 –> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: it seems like you got some four course special teams
616
00:29:45,880 –> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: help perhaps here. Yeah, and that’s um that’s a cherry
617
00:29:49,280 –> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: on top. So you know we have some um certainly
618
00:29:52,640 –> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: some um position needs that we need to fill and
619
00:29:55,440 –> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: we’re able to do that and get in the corner
620
00:29:57,800 –> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: um getting the DN the receiver and you know, a
621
00:30:01,680 –> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: versatile multipositional linebacker. But then, as you mentioned, Mitch, just
622
00:30:06,360 –> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: to come back with those guys with those knees and
623
00:30:08,840 –> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: know that all these guys are going to be there
624
00:30:10,360 –> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: for Dave on Sunday against this terry on top. But
625
00:30:14,280 –> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: Brad Veach was far from done. And the rest of
626
00:30:17,400 –> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: the base ten are worth a worthy discussion. And if
627
00:30:20,560 –> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: you can’t tell, all three of us are having fun
628
00:30:22,760 –> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: talking about the base ten system, not mathematics, these ten
629
00:30:26,600 –> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: draft picks. Let’s jump into the next guy, and Mad’ll
630
00:30:29,600 –> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: start here with you, and that’s Joshua Williams, the cornerback
631
00:30:33,520 –> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: out of Fayetteville State Division two School and HBCU School
632
00:30:37,320 –> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: six three, one nine five. Let me just start this way.
633
00:30:40,920 –> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: HBCU Corners in Chiefs History Jim Marcellis Tennessee State Super
634
00:30:46,000 –> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: Bowl four champion Emmett Thomas, Bishop College Pro Football Hall
635
00:30:49,920 –> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: of Fame Albert Lewis, who played at Grambling. Some of
636
00:30:53,720 –> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: the greatest corners in the history of our franchise came
637
00:30:56,840 –> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: from HBCU schools. There’s a lot to like about josh Williams.
638
00:31:00,720 –> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: He was the first draft e out of an HBCU
639
00:31:03,120 –> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty. I believe in the highest drafted one
640
00:31:05,840 –> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen. So pretty cool Joshua Williams to the Chiefs.
641
00:31:09,520 –> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: Tremendous size and length with this guy. He’s a corner
642
00:31:12,440 –> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: who stands at six foot three, one hundred ninety four pounds,
643
00:31:15,880 –> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: So love that size and length, good wingspan on this kid.
644
00:31:19,320 –> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: Lant zero Line from NFL dot Com, one of the
645
00:31:21,360 –> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: best draft analysts out there, said he was a small
646
00:31:23,920 –> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: school cornerback with big school traits and talent. The thing
647
00:31:27,840 –> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: is he’s raw. Like playing at a smaller school. The
648
00:31:30,520 –> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: competition level will be significantly different in the NFL. But
649
00:31:33,840 –> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: you can’t teach six three, one ninety four with long
650
00:31:37,240 –> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: arms and ball skills. He can’t teach that, and he
651
00:31:39,600 –> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: was really good at Fayettville State. I mean, you can
652
00:31:41,920 –> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: only play who’s against you, and he had good production
653
00:31:44,720 –> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 1: there twenty four passes defense to over his last twenty games.
654
00:31:47,720 –> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: So when you get to this point in the draft,
655
00:31:49,920 –> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: you’re kind of drafting based on traits. I mean, no
656
00:31:52,240 –> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: player is perfect at this point. But if you see
657
00:31:54,320 –> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: a guy that, yeah, it’s a small school, but he’s
658
00:31:56,800 –> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: six foot three and has ball skills and is only
659
00:31:59,680 –> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: a set ending as a player. I mean he went
660
00:32:01,280 –> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: to the Senior Bowl and held his own against players
661
00:32:03,360 –> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: from Georgia and Alabama and Clemson and everywhere else. So
662
00:32:06,560 –> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: really excited about Joshua Williams. He’ll go out there and
663
00:32:09,280 –> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: I don’t know if he’s a starting corner on day one,
664
00:32:11,760 –> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: but you develop him kind of like the Chiefs did
665
00:32:13,680 –> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: with tre Various Ward. I get defensive of playing levels
666
00:32:17,280 –> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: because the CIAA is a good Division two league. This
667
00:32:20,600 –> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: is a league that shop who played fcs at Richmond.
668
00:32:23,400 –> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: But the next notchdown Division two these is Virginia Union
669
00:32:26,400 –> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: and Virginia Wise Johnson C. Smith. These are a good players.
670
00:32:29,320 –> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: We’ve had NFL guys come out of this. What do
671
00:32:31,840 –> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: you see in Joshua Williams. I see what I like.
672
00:32:34,080 –> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: I see guys I played with before I see the
673
00:32:35,920 –> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: Bobby Taylors of the world. I see guys that play
674
00:32:39,280 –> 00:32:41,479
Speaker 1: like I mean, we remember Bobby Taylor with the Eagles,
675
00:32:41,880 –> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: long six two, great wingspan, is able to play the
676
00:32:47,440 –> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: high point of balls and get you in and out
677
00:32:49,120 –> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: of breaks. Great trail technique. I love his trail technique
678
00:32:52,240 –> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: on everything. I mean, it’s no separation. And to be
679
00:32:54,840 –> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: a guy that’s tall and that you know, I don’t
680
00:32:56,520 –> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: want to say he’s linky, but he’s long. He has
681
00:32:58,880 –> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: great arm, able to break up passes and get him
682
00:33:01,760 –> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: all and not even there’s Troy Vincent, Bobby Tailing. Troy Vincent.
683
00:33:06,440 –> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: Cornerbacks like that. They give a wide receivers so much
684
00:33:10,680 –> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: trouble trying to get in and out of your breaks,
685
00:33:13,320 –> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: trying to get down the field because they had these
686
00:33:15,240 –> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: super ow long arms there able to adjust you adjust
687
00:33:18,080 –> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: your routes. In quarterbacks, they come off receivers really quick.
688
00:33:21,280 –> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: When you see the guys are lockdown by these guys
689
00:33:23,400 –> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: with these long arms. So I like mister Williams. Obviously
690
00:33:26,480 –> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: small school guy had to kind of travel the same
691
00:33:28,800 –> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: road I did. Come from University of Richmond, having time
692
00:33:31,320 –> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: in the Senior Bowl, having time go to the combine
693
00:33:34,160 –> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: and work out. Everybody said level of competition University of
694
00:33:38,640 –> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: rich Man, We don’t know about your level of competition. Well,
695
00:33:40,840 –> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: guess what come training camp. When this young man and
696
00:33:43,720 –> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: gets on this field, no one’s gonna care to he
697
00:33:46,040 –> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: went to Fairville State. No one’s gonna care what round
698
00:33:48,200 –> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: he got drafted or what number. It’s gonna be like,
699
00:33:50,520 –> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do now to show us that
700
00:33:53,120 –> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: you’re supposed to be here and you deserve some playing time.
701
00:33:55,680 –> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: And I believe this man’s gonna rise to the occasion. Man.
702
00:33:58,160 –> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: I love what you said about his wingspace in two
703
00:34:00,280 –> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: at fifty three inch wingspan, and the fact that we’re
704
00:34:03,760 –> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: also seeing why you have the HBCU Legacy Bowl and
705
00:34:08,440 –> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: why you have the HBCU Combine. But the Chiefs folks
706
00:34:11,960 –> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: were way ahead of this, way back because they were
707
00:34:15,560 –> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: the first franchise, really in professional football to go to
708
00:34:19,120 –> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: the hbc you schools and get some of the greatest
709
00:34:21,960 –> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: players to ever play in the game. Fuck Buchanan, we
710
00:34:24,520 –> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: go right down the line, Willie Lanier and others. Maybe
711
00:34:26,640 –> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: have another one here in Joshua Williams. Okay, another one.
712
00:34:30,160 –> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: Austin Woodard helps us during the draft. He lives in Joplin, Missouri.
713
00:34:33,400 –> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: He went berserk with this pick, and this pick is
714
00:34:36,840 –> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: really interesting. And Darren Kinnard the offensive tackle slash guard
715
00:34:41,040 –> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: as he tackle is he a guard from the University
716
00:34:43,200 –> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: of Kentucky. He won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the
717
00:34:47,160 –> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: best blocking offensive lineman in the SEC. Wait a minute,
718
00:34:50,160 –> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: wasn’t Evan Neil in this draft? What about cross from
719
00:34:54,000 –> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: Mississippi State? He was ruled better than those guys. Shop
720
00:34:57,280 –> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: will start with you, what kind of steal did the
721
00:34:59,719 –> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: chief scared here? Some shade was off by eighty picks.
722
00:35:03,800 –> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: To get a guy like this, I think he recorded
723
00:35:06,440 –> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: thirty pancakes last season, So thirty pancakes blocks with me.
724
00:35:10,680 –> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: The guy you’re blocking ends up flat on the ground
725
00:35:12,640 –> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: on his back is phenomenal. And to get this guy,
726
00:35:15,520 –> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: I mean he comes into the Kingdom with the edge
727
00:35:17,400 –> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: on the shoulder. So if you if you’re looking for
728
00:35:19,120 –> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of hot takes or some some audio bikes,
729
00:35:22,520 –> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: this ain’t the guy to get it from. He’s coming
730
00:35:24,560 –> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: in every day with a job with a demeanor. He
731
00:35:27,120 –> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: doesn’t want to get it done. He want to get
732
00:35:28,600 –> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: the job done. He wants to protect the quarterback. He
733
00:35:31,000 –> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: wants to make the other guy’s job across from kind
734
00:35:34,560 –> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: of like a nightmare. So our defensive line is gonna
735
00:35:37,200 –> 00:35:39,919
Speaker 1: get gonna get beat on all training camp long based
736
00:35:40,000 –> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: this young man, but he deserved. He considers himself a
737
00:35:43,200 –> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: starting right tackle and he’s almost disrespected that the draft
738
00:35:46,600 –> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: went that long without him getting and so yes, he’s
739
00:35:49,120 –> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: happy to be a part of the Kingdom, but he
740
00:35:50,719 –> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: doesn’t He’s not gonna come here like with a satisfied
741
00:35:53,840 –> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: He’s not gonna come here like I’ve arrived today. When
742
00:35:57,040 –> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: he gets to training camp, you’re gonna see like day
743
00:35:59,000 –> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: one of his journey. And he might not speak to
744
00:36:01,280 –> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: anybody on the entire team, he might not have many
745
00:36:03,760 –> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: words for anybody in that huddle, but I bet he’s
746
00:36:05,920 –> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the most physical guys I’m during
747
00:36:09,000 –> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: training camp, and hopefully that carries open to the season. Matt,
748
00:36:12,320 –> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: why did he drop? And if he is a tackle,
749
00:36:15,360 –> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: let’s all imagine here around the world in the Chiefs
750
00:36:17,480 –> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: Kingdom him at right tackle, shoulder to shoulder with Trey Smith,
751
00:36:21,320 –> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: who was the same demeanor at guard. Well, you mentioned
752
00:36:24,040 –> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: Austin Woodard who helps us do our board and helps
753
00:36:26,280 –> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: us with our draft prep. He was with us on
754
00:36:29,239 –> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: night one and night two, and on night two, we’re
755
00:36:31,800 –> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: just all excited about our draft getting all this value
756
00:36:34,040 –> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: and all this talent, and we asked him what do
757
00:36:36,000 –> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: you think, and he’s like, I love the draft so far,
758
00:36:37,760 –> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: but I wish we could have gotten Canard out of Kentucky.
759
00:36:40,280 –> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: And then we get him in the fifth round. He
760
00:36:42,520 –> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: was the number seventy nine overall player on Pro Football
761
00:36:45,440 –> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: Focus’s board and we get him at pick number one
762
00:36:48,239 –> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: forty five. You mentioned how how what a steel he
763
00:36:50,960 –> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: was in terms of how many picks off. Warren Sharpe
764
00:36:53,360 –> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: did a deal where he compared basically projections to where
765
00:36:56,560 –> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: guys were actually taken, and Cannard was the seventh best
766
00:36:59,760 –> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: value you pick and the entire draft, and the Chiefs
767
00:37:02,640 –> 00:37:06,720
Speaker 1: get this guy. Guard tackle flexibility, like you said, PFF
768
00:37:06,880 –> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: had him as the best tackle in the SEC last year.
769
00:37:11,160 –> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: Just really productive and he’s huge. He’s six five three
770
00:37:14,760 –> 00:37:16,879
Speaker 1: and twenty two pounds at the combine and he played
771
00:37:16,920 –> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: bigger than that at Kentucky. I think he was three
772
00:37:18,960 –> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: forty five at one point one hundred and nine knockdowns
773
00:37:22,320 –> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: in his career. And it gets back to what you
774
00:37:24,560 –> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: were saying about that demeanor that he has. He’s a
775
00:37:27,440 –> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: nasty dude. I mean everywhere I look, they just call
776
00:37:30,000 –> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: him a maler. And that’s what you won along the
777
00:37:32,040 –> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 1: offensive line. And the Chiefs really went through a culture
778
00:37:34,320 –> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 1: shift along their offensive line, getting guys like Tray Smith,
779
00:37:37,520 –> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: Joe Tuney, Creed Humphrey. And he’s gonna fit right in.
780
00:37:41,600 –> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: Watch the video of him against Lshoe. He takes out
781
00:37:44,239 –> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 1: the first level, goes the suck a level. He’s looking
782
00:37:46,440 –> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: for dudes at the third level watching block against Trevon
783
00:37:49,040 –> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: Walker in the University of Georgia. So maybe work on
784
00:37:52,719 –> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: his pass sets. But this guy is a monster and
785
00:37:56,560 –> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: comes in as shop said, both of you guys said
786
00:37:59,200 –> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: with an attitude. All right, let’s go to the next player.
787
00:38:01,360 –> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: We got three guys left on the base ten here
788
00:38:03,840 –> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: the ten draftees for the Kansas City Chiefs and the
789
00:38:06,680 –> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two NFL draft Jalen Watson six two, one
790
00:38:09,600 –> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: ninety seven out of Washington State. We think cops here.
791
00:38:12,360 –> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: I think Washington State. I think this size of dude.
792
00:38:15,000 –> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: I think of a James Hasty. Actually we’re gonna go
793
00:38:17,719 –> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: way back here. But he came out of Wazoo, same
794
00:38:21,440 –> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: kind of deal. Kid coach was a Juco at Ventura
795
00:38:24,640 –> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: in California. We’ll start with you, Matt. Jalen Watson well,
796
00:38:27,880 –> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: similar deal to Joshua Williams, where Jalen Watson is a long,
797
00:38:31,680 –> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: physical corner and you can’t teach those kind of things.
798
00:38:34,320 –> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: And the NFL nowadays you need corners who are tall.
799
00:38:37,160 –> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: Like even ten years ago, having a corner over six
800
00:38:40,000 –> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: foot tall was very unique, but nowadays, when you have
801
00:38:42,800 –> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: receivers like Mike Williams in your division, you have to
802
00:38:45,840 –> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: have tall, athletic, long corners to guard those kind of guys.
803
00:38:49,520 –> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: So it’s not just an easy jump ball situation for
804
00:38:51,960 –> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: the receiver. And Jillen Watson fits that bill. He’s six
805
00:38:55,120 –> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: foot two, one hundred and ninety seven pounds, outstanding height
806
00:38:58,040 –> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: and length for a corner. He’s only fifteen games at
807
00:39:01,080 –> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: the FBS level, so he’s raw. Didn’t play a lot
808
00:39:03,600 –> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: of games at Washington State because he was a JUCO transfer,
809
00:39:07,080 –> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: but he had good production while he was there. I mean,
810
00:39:09,360 –> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 1: he was a two time honorable mention for All Pac twelve.
811
00:39:11,920 –> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: So he played well at Washington State. And he’s again
812
00:39:15,000 –> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: a raw player that has those tools as physical tools,
813
00:39:18,160 –> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: you can’t teach. One. Other thing I love about him
814
00:39:20,800 –> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: is out of Ventura Community College, he was one of
815
00:39:23,360 –> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: the top JUCO players in the nation. He’s being recruited
816
00:39:26,040 –> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: by tons of different schools. I think he was the
817
00:39:28,080 –> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: number nine corner out of JUCO in the country. Tons
818
00:39:31,560 –> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: of schools won him. He signs with USC, but he
819
00:39:34,360 –> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: turns out to be academically ineligible. A lot of players
820
00:39:37,400 –> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: their career would end there. But what he’d do. He
821
00:39:39,880 –> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: went back home to Georgia and started working at Wendy’s
822
00:39:43,520 –> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: and taking classes, ended up being a straight as student,
823
00:39:46,920 –> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: got his degree, and then went to Washington State and
824
00:39:49,600 –> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: balled out, and now he’s being drafted. That’s a cool story,
825
00:39:52,480 –> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: and it says a lot about the kid. You played
826
00:39:54,200 –> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: in this league a long time shop. This kid had
827
00:39:57,280 –> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: to get his mind right and he did it doing
828
00:39:59,080 –> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: fast food in the twenty nineteen year in Augusta, Georgia.
829
00:40:03,600 –> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: What about a kid getting his mind right and set
830
00:40:05,719 –> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: and coming in with this kind of potential. He’s gonna
831
00:40:08,120 –> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: come to the edge on the shoulder and he’s gonna tough,
832
00:40:10,239 –> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: smart football player. He’s already seen a little bit of
833
00:40:13,280 –> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: failure and sometimes a little taste of failure is we
834
00:40:16,040 –> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: really get your motor going and kind of elevate you
835
00:40:18,520 –> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: in vault you to be a true pro. So knowing
836
00:40:21,600 –> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: that this guy is not coming in thinking he’s arrived,
837
00:40:24,200 –> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: it’s going to be an awesome opportunity to get a
838
00:40:26,160 –> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 1: guy that’s I think it’s gonna battle with our current guys.
839
00:40:28,840 –> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: Day one is wanting some playing time on the field.
840
00:40:31,320 –> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: We know his his immediate value and being special teams.
841
00:40:34,160 –> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: He’ll be a special teams demon and if he’s if
842
00:40:37,120 –> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: he’s got anything, any kind of goal, it should be
843
00:40:39,560 –> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: to be a special Teams captain Day one because he
844
00:40:42,160 –> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: has that versatility. He has that size, the length, the speed,
845
00:40:45,880 –> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: the physicality to be a guy that can be a
846
00:40:48,120 –> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: all four core special teamer. He can be a tip
847
00:40:51,239 –> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: of the spear. That’s a term that we use and
848
00:40:53,680 –> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: special teams. When you’re a tip of the spear, you’re
849
00:40:55,480 –> 00:40:58,720
Speaker 1: the first entry point when you’re trying to kill your opponent,
850
00:40:58,880 –> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: the first thing that reaches that tip of the spear.
851
00:41:01,120 –> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: And I see a guy like that is going down
852
00:41:02,840 –> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: there on any special teams phase, at any point of
853
00:41:06,320 –> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: the game and making a play changing, a game changing
854
00:41:09,719 –> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: play and so a guy like this guy, man, he’s
855
00:41:12,560 –> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: gonna come hungry, he’s gonna come aggressive, he’s gonna learn
856
00:41:15,840 –> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: the defense. But you already say he’s a smart kid.
857
00:41:18,120 –> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: Spagnola’s defense man. It’s definitely it’s got some volume to it.
858
00:41:22,200 –> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: But once you learn your assignment and your alignment, you’re
859
00:41:25,080 –> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: able to go and let your your instincts take over.
860
00:41:27,600 –> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: And so I can’t wait to see this guy that’s
861
00:41:29,160 –> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: instinctively be able to take over and be somebody on
862
00:41:31,800 –> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: the field again. We can talk about some trades, some
863
00:41:34,200 –> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: comps m dB that I played with. When my last
864
00:41:38,000 –> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: year the Texans, I played with the guy Dante Robinson,
865
00:41:41,600 –> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: a guy from South Carolina. He reminds me of him.
866
00:41:44,120 –> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: He kind of reminds me a little bit of a
867
00:41:45,760 –> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: Lido Shepherd to Sheldon Brown. This guy’s they played with
868
00:41:49,560 –> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: so much tenacity. They never let the the size or
869
00:41:54,080 –> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: the lack keep them from making the next big play.
870
00:41:56,880 –> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: So I appreciate a guy coming in already taste a
871
00:42:00,480 –> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: little bit of failure, had to go kind of reinvent
872
00:42:02,760 –> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: himself and talk about how much do you really love
873
00:42:05,239 –> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: the game of football? Because I guarantee when he was
874
00:42:08,080 –> 00:42:11,439
Speaker 1: doing fast food stuff the NFL is probably the last
875
00:42:11,480 –> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: thing on his mind at that point, right, It’s about
876
00:42:14,080 –> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: how am I going to feed myself and get through
877
00:42:16,680 –> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: day to day? And he’s been able to work himself
878
00:42:19,000 –> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: back in to shape to be an NFL player. Man,
879
00:42:21,560 –> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: I have nothing but respect for this young man. Some
880
00:42:23,800 –> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: have made the comp his game to Antoine Winfield. All right,
881
00:42:27,880 –> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: I’ll take that one, like it, But you’re right, he’s
882
00:42:29,800 –> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: a little bit raw. Hasn’t played that many games. It
883
00:42:31,880 –> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: didn’t play that many games at Wazoo. But excited to
884
00:42:34,080 –> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: see this Kim, And we’re gonna I might get t
885
00:42:35,960 –> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 1: shirts made of tgs toads guys, you know, the special
886
00:42:40,360 –> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: team shirts, and have a spear right there. All right,
887
00:42:46,320 –> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: let’s jump in to our final two draft picks and
888
00:42:48,920 –> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: our base ten edition of Defending the King. I know
889
00:42:52,000 –> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: we’re going along here, but we’re having too much fun
890
00:42:54,400 –> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: because these ten guys excite the three of us to
891
00:42:58,080 –> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: no end. Now, let me just hearing my description of
892
00:43:01,200 –> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: this guy five ten, two hundred and twenty two pounds
893
00:43:04,440 –> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: runs a four to three seven? Who am I describing?
894
00:43:07,640 –> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: Damian Williams. Damian Williams the run to immortality? Right, the
895
00:43:12,040 –> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: mirror Mason Marauder played at Oklahoma, was Juco for a while.
896
00:43:15,560 –> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: I had that incredible run against Super Bowl fifty four.
897
00:43:18,040 –> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 1: We remembered forever. He was five eleven two twenty four
898
00:43:20,880 –> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: and round of four to three seven. Isaiah Pacheco in
899
00:43:25,040 –> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: the seventh round out of Rutgers five ten to twenty
900
00:43:28,320 –> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: two runs a four three seven shop. I’m starting with
901
00:43:32,200 –> 00:43:35,240
Speaker 1: you here with Isaiah Pacheco. If you talk to anybody
902
00:43:35,239 –> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: at Rutgers, they’re gonna talk and just talk a lot
903
00:43:39,080 –> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: about this kid in the positive sense. Man. You know,
904
00:43:41,760 –> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: I was drafted back in ninety eight and when a
905
00:43:45,160 –> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: member of my draft class was a guy named Skip Hicks.
906
00:43:47,600 –> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: Came from UCLA. And to me, Skip Hicks his versatility,
907
00:43:51,040 –> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 1: great hands to NASA’s blocker, could find holes, had had
908
00:43:54,920 –> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: instincts way beyond his years. When I watched film of
909
00:43:57,760 –> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: this young man from Rutgers, he doesn’t look like a
910
00:44:00,680 –> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: college player. He looks like a pro player that’s been
911
00:44:03,440 –> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 1: put on the college field. And he has some things
912
00:44:05,440 –> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: that you just can’t coach. And I think if you
913
00:44:07,320 –> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: take that, you know that those rough edges and put
914
00:44:11,040 –> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: him in the room with coach b Enemy, put him
915
00:44:13,000 –> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: in the room with coach Gregg and let our coaches
916
00:44:15,560 –> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 1: kind of work with him. I mean, that’s similar how
917
00:44:18,440 –> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: we found Kareem Hunt. We found him in the same
918
00:44:21,120 –> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 1: that same mold of a guy who was a little
919
00:44:22,920 –> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: bit unappreciated, appreciated, a little bit disrespected by where he
920
00:44:27,239 –> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 1: got drafted, but had all the talent in the world.
921
00:44:30,400 –> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: Having him come to the Chiefs Kingdom and work with
922
00:44:32,920 –> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: our coaches, I think we got a guy that could
923
00:44:34,920 –> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: potentially be a very impactful player. Like you said, maybe
924
00:44:37,800 –> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: the next run to immortality. When Demian Willam’s when he
925
00:44:40,840 –> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: signed with the Chiefs, it wasn’t like a huge deal,
926
00:44:42,920 –> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: like the red carpet wasn’t rolled out, But you have
927
00:44:45,480 –> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: those traits as physical tools and the mentality to go
928
00:44:47,760 –> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: out there and when he doesn’t matter where you’re drafted
929
00:44:50,560 –> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: or if you’re in big free agent signing. This gets
930
00:44:52,800 –> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: a great example of that. I mean, you guys have
931
00:44:54,280 –> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: said it already, but I love having a running back.
932
00:44:56,520 –> 00:44:59,760
Speaker 1: It’s over two hundred and fifteen pounds of basically all muscle.
933
00:45:00,040 –> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 1: He takes his strength training really seriously. In the four
934
00:45:02,960 –> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: three seventh speed that was tied for the fastest forty
935
00:45:05,600 –> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: time of any running back with the combine, only Pierre
936
00:45:08,160 –> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: Strong from South Dakota State was tied with him. So
937
00:45:11,360 –> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: super fast and one thing I like about him a
938
00:45:13,680 –> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: lot when reading about him is he is a good
939
00:45:15,680 –> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: pass blocker with upside as a pass blocker, He’s willing
940
00:45:18,560 –> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: to do it. He has a strength to do it,
941
00:45:20,160 –> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: the size to do it, and that’s a big deal,
942
00:45:22,320 –> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: particularly as a seventh round running back. With his speed
943
00:45:25,440 –> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: and his pass blocking upside, I think he has a
944
00:45:27,320 –> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: lot of skills to be possibly a third down back
945
00:45:29,800 –> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 1: on this team pretty early on. We’ll see what happens,
946
00:45:31,760 –> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: but I like this pick a lot. I feel like
947
00:45:33,680 –> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: he’s not your typical seventh rounder. He has a lot
948
00:45:36,680 –> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: of skills. Like you watch him and you’re like, this
949
00:45:38,200 –> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: kid should have been drafted earlier. I’m excited to watch
950
00:45:40,320 –> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: him in camp. Since twenty nineteen, the Chiefs have missed
951
00:45:43,520 –> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 1: this guy that you know, we had the two hundred
952
00:45:45,960 –> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 1: five pound guy. This is two hundred and twenty two
953
00:45:48,239 –> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: pounds that runs four three seven. There’s just an element
954
00:45:51,239 –> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: to that that is fits into a you know, a
955
00:45:53,920 –> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: new a piece. Here go find his tape against Syracuse.
956
00:45:58,239 –> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: It’s the four minute offense Syracuse doesn’t like Rutgers. Rutgers
957
00:46:01,160 –> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: doesn’t like Syracuse. Rutgers is going to beat him in
958
00:46:03,640 –> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 1: the carrier Dome. This dude has to carry it every time,
959
00:46:07,680 –> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: much like a Darryl Williams has done for the Chiefs
960
00:46:09,480 –> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: in the four minute offense. And just watch it. Find
961
00:46:12,239 –> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: it and you’ll see why we’re excited about Isaiah Pacheco,
962
00:46:15,120 –> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 1: the running back out of Rutgers. All right, we close
963
00:46:17,320 –> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: it out with the safety Nazi Johnson out of Marshall.
964
00:46:22,400 –> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: I’ll start with you, Matt, because this guy looks like
965
00:46:24,719 –> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: he ought to get a Tobe t shirt. Tobes guys right,
966
00:46:26,880 –> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 1: put it on tip of the spear, using shops term.
967
00:46:29,600 –> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 1: But another guy don’t don’t like write this cat off
968
00:46:33,400 –> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: even though he’s always the last guy at the ten.
969
00:46:35,719 –> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: Tobe guy is definitely what This guy fits the bill
970
00:46:37,840 –> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: assum if you look at what he’s done at Marshall.
971
00:46:39,960 –> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: A five year starter at Marshall with a ton of experience.
972
00:46:43,040 –> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: He started forty five games in that time, ran a
973
00:46:46,120 –> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: four three five forty at his pro day. So he’s fast,
974
00:46:49,400 –> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: he’s explosive, and also his attitude is lauded by all
975
00:46:52,600 –> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: the draft experts. So if you’re explosive, fast, You’ve experience,
976
00:46:56,040 –> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: so you’re clearly smart and deserve to be out there.
977
00:46:58,480 –> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: And also you have the right attitude. I had to
978
00:47:00,280 –> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: go out there and play. I think that fits the
979
00:47:01,760 –> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: deal of a special teamer for sure. That maybe can
980
00:47:04,040 –> 00:47:07,280
Speaker 1: develop into more, but I think right away Nazi Johnson
981
00:47:07,320 –> 00:47:08,959
Speaker 1: will fit in on special teams in next some place
982
00:47:09,440 –> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: from Marshall Thundering Herd. He has to come in. I mean,
983
00:47:12,040 –> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: we have a good team. So being a seventh round pick,
984
00:47:15,120 –> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: the last pick of the draft, you’re not coming in
985
00:47:18,239 –> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: with a spot on this fifty three. You got to
986
00:47:20,840 –> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: create a spot. You gotta come here with some with
987
00:47:22,760 –> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of edge thinking about I’m taking somebody
988
00:47:25,400 –> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 1: else’s job, and that’s that’s a tough That’s a great
989
00:47:27,880 –> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: place to be in as an organization because we’re not
990
00:47:30,640 –> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: filling in a bunch of holes. We’re adding extra depth.
991
00:47:33,120 –> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: We’re actually extra ingredients to the pantry just in case
992
00:47:36,160 –> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: we need somebody to come in and feel somebody roll
993
00:47:38,120 –> 00:47:39,919
Speaker 1: through the injury or something like this. So this young
994
00:47:39,920 –> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: man has got to come in. I mean, he’s got
995
00:47:41,680 –> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 1: to play like the ground is on fire every day.
996
00:47:44,080 –> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: He’s got to be early for meetings. He gotta stay late,
997
00:47:46,320 –> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: he’s got to watch extra film. He’s gonna have to
998
00:47:48,440 –> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: do some some really unique things in training camp just
999
00:47:51,280 –> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: to be on our fifty three. Because we have so
1000
00:47:53,200 –> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 1: many great players already here, so we’re in a great
1001
00:47:55,360 –> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: position to be in. Hey man, this young man, he’s listen,
1002
00:47:58,560 –> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: he’s gonna come in. He’s gonna for him, he’s gonna play.
1003
00:48:01,160 –> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: But hey man, we ain’t get room for everybody on
1004
00:48:03,560 –> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: the ship, and so this young man better better get it,
1005
00:48:06,360 –> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: get it going in the right direction very early and
1006
00:48:09,440 –> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: often and opening people’s eyes, making plays no matter what
1007
00:48:13,080 –> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: situation it is. That rookie camp for him, when it’s
1008
00:48:16,000 –> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: just a rookie’s out there for those first few days,
1009
00:48:18,320 –> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: if he doesn’t open up some really big eyes at
1010
00:48:20,440 –> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: that moment, he might get lost in the shuffle. But
1011
00:48:23,840 –> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: but you know, I call him croc pod guys. This
1012
00:48:26,680 –> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: guy’s a croc pod guy. Because the expanded practice squads,
1013
00:48:30,560 –> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: you now can develop guys. This guy put in the
1014
00:48:32,840 –> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: croc pot, slow cook him. Think of the best meals
1015
00:48:35,560 –> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: you’ve had they have been slow cook. Yeah, and you
1016
00:48:38,640 –> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: develop guys. It’s been a big part of the Chiefs
1017
00:48:40,920 –> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: nine years of winning here going into a tenth year
1018
00:48:43,239 –> 00:48:45,479
Speaker 1: under Andy Reid. All right, real quick, we’ll just close
1019
00:48:45,520 –> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: it out with a quick synopsis of your thoughts of
1020
00:48:48,160 –> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: the base ten the draft class of twenty twenty two.
1021
00:48:50,960 –> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 1: We entered this draft talking about what an opportunity it
1022
00:48:54,160 –> 00:48:56,720
Speaker 1: was to get some great talent and some great value.
1023
00:48:57,000 –> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: Not very often as a team that has the resume
1024
00:48:59,239 –> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: of the Kansas City Chiefs have this many picks in
1025
00:49:01,840 –> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 1: a draft, particularly picks high in a draft. Well, reviewing
1026
00:49:06,280 –> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: it now, and we won’t know the success of this
1027
00:49:08,800 –> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: draft for at least a year, right, but reviewing it now,
1028
00:49:12,120 –> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: looking at what experts thought about certain players, the Chiefs
1029
00:49:14,960 –> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: came away with the following players on the Pro Football
1030
00:49:18,360 –> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 1: Focus big Board, the number ten overall player, number eleven,
1031
00:49:21,960 –> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 1: number twenty two, number thirty six, number seventy one, number
1032
00:49:25,520 –> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: seventy nine, and number one seventeen. Think about all that
1033
00:49:29,120 –> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: young talent entering this locker room, and I can’t wait
1034
00:49:32,160 –> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 1: to see how they look in rookie mini camp this
1035
00:49:34,440 –> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: weekend and during OTA’s in the weeks to follow, and
1036
00:49:37,200 –> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: of course training camp. But this was a great opportunity
1037
00:49:39,840 –> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs to go out there and grab a
1038
00:49:42,040 –> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: bunch of really good young players and put them on
1039
00:49:44,520 –> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: this team. And I think they achieve that and I
1040
00:49:47,000 –> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 1: can’t wait to see how it plays out. But at
1041
00:49:48,840 –> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: least today, Monday, after the draft, I feel great about
1042
00:49:52,520 –> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: this class man’s I hope these guys come in with
1043
00:49:54,800 –> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: the mind said did they’ve expressed to us, even just
1044
00:49:58,320 –> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: in the videos and the draft day video a draft fest,
1045
00:50:01,840 –> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: that same energy and excitement. It wasn’t it wasn’t fabricated.
1046
00:50:06,280 –> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 1: These guys love football, and we got this chance to
1047
00:50:08,960 –> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: really see guys coming at an early age. These young
1048
00:50:11,719 –> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: guys are gonna just an injection of energy is gonna
1049
00:50:14,840 –> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: be putting this defense. And I think you know, if
1050
00:50:16,760 –> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: you look back, our defense was getting a little bit old.
1051
00:50:18,920 –> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: These guys are coming in young, fun, hungry, smart, tough,
1052
00:50:22,560 –> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: all those uh those those intangibles that you need to
1053
00:50:26,960 –> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: have a growing defense is gonna be good, not just
1054
00:50:30,800 –> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: this year but for years to come. So of seven
1055
00:50:34,200 –> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: of ten picks to be on the defensive side of
1056
00:50:35,960 –> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: the ball. As a linement of that, man, I’m in
1057
00:50:38,320 –> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: I’m in heaven right now. I want to see all
1058
00:50:39,960 –> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 1: of these seven guys developed. But then on the offense,
1059
00:50:42,880 –> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: we got some guys that can also contribute year one.
1060
00:50:46,480 –> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: And that’s what It’s the beautiful thing about the organization
1061
00:50:48,840 –> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: like ours. We don’t need to ever rebuild. We just retool.
1062
00:50:52,960 –> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: We just retool and just keep coming at you at
1063
00:50:54,640 –> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: different ways. We got some really creative minds on both sides,
1064
00:50:58,120 –> 00:51:00,919
Speaker 1: all three phases of the ball. And I think all
1065
00:51:00,920 –> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: of these weapons we have to use is gonna be
1066
00:51:02,560 –> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: a phenomenal twenty twenty two season for the Kansity Seas
1067
00:51:05,640 –> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: will close this way. Draft Fest was over on Saturday.
1068
00:51:09,640 –> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: Matt saw me backstage. We’re kind of tired, right, But
1069
00:51:12,800 –> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: I just sat in that chair after being around those
1070
00:51:15,480 –> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: five guys that are on that stage, and thought, oh
1071
00:51:18,239 –> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: my goodness, what do we have here. If these guys
1072
00:51:21,560 –> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 1: can perform at the level we think they can, this
1073
00:51:24,400 –> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 1: could be a class that can remembered for years and years.
1074
00:51:27,040 –> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: So go back to two defending the Kingdoms ago when
1075
00:51:30,800 –> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: we did volume, value and victory. This crew is the
1076
00:51:37,080 –> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: epitome to me, the definition of volume and value. And
1077
00:51:40,120 –> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: I’ll throw another one in Veach. Let’s get bread Beach
1078
00:51:43,400 –> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: in the GM of the Chiefs and all of his staff,
1079
00:51:45,600 –> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: all of wish we could mention them all an incredible
1080
00:51:48,120 –> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: job with the base ten. Not just the mathematical system
1081
00:51:52,520 –> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: that you live with every day, but the base ten
1082
00:51:55,360 –> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty two Kansas City Chiefs NFL Draft.
1083
