Speaker 1: It’s the twenty twenty three NFL Draft. And welcome to

6
00:00:20,560 –> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: this episode of Defending the Kingdom, which filters with your

7
00:00:23,480 –> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: Voice to the Chiefs along with senior team reporter Matt mcmulland.

8
00:00:27,400 –> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: And you can start. Always this time of year, you

9
00:00:29,560 –> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: start to feel the buzz in the building, but now

10
00:00:32,000 –> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: you feel it’s throughout the city and the Kingdom because

11
00:00:34,360 –> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs this year, not only Kansas City is the

12
00:00:38,159 –> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: capital city of the Kingdom, it’s the capital city of

13
00:00:40,400 –> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: the Draft. I just can’t believe it’s actually here. It’s

14
00:00:42,920 –> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: so awesome because I was at Union Station when we

15
00:00:45,760 –> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: found out we were getting the draft in like twenty

16
00:00:47,880 –> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: eighteen or something, maybe twenty nineteen, I can’t remember, but

17
00:00:50,840 –> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 1: it seems so far off, like that will happen here

18
00:00:53,680 –> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: one day, and now it’s in two weeks. It’s just wild.

19
00:00:57,040 –> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: And my route home I drift to the city because

20
00:00:59,880 –> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: I live on the Kansas side in Ruling Park. I

21
00:01:02,640 –> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: drive through the city on thirty five and then south

22
00:01:06,319 –> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: and I drive right by Union Station, and I see

23
00:01:08,560 –> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: all the stuff every single day. It’s getting a little

24
00:01:10,400 –> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: bit bigger. There’s something like two hundred semitrucks that had

25
00:01:13,240 –> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: to haul all the stuff here because it’s going to

26
00:01:14,920 –> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: be like the biggest stage ever for a draft and

27
00:01:17,520 –> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: it’s here in Kansas City. It’s amazing. Yeah, the NFL

28
00:01:20,440 –> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: schooling all out, even more than they’ve done in the past,

29
00:01:23,880 –> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: and that’s what’s really interesting. And you can go to

30
00:01:26,760 –> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: SPORTCC dot org. That’s of course the Polks. The Greater

31
00:01:29,920 –> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: Kansas City Sports Commission of works so hard on this

32
00:01:32,080 –> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: for years. But at their website, it gives you the

33
00:01:35,160 –> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: artists rendering of what it’s going to look like. Plus

34
00:01:38,600 –> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: you can also there’s buttons there you can get set

35
00:01:41,560 –> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: up for one pass and everything else. But it just

36
00:01:43,920 –> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: tells you knne gives you an idea because we don’t

37
00:01:47,160 –> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: even know what it’s going to feel like. The city

38
00:01:49,440 –> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: doesn’t know what it’s going to feel like until you

39
00:01:50,960 –> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: drop two hundred and fifty thousand people in here from

40
00:01:53,120 –> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: all over the earth here for this twenty twenty three

41
00:01:57,960 –> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: NFL Draft Okay, we’re gonna jump into the trenches in

42
00:02:01,440 –> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: this episode. Next week we got a really cool defending

43
00:02:05,040 –> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: the Kingdom ready for you. But this week we’re gonna

44
00:02:08,160 –> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: stay grinding on the draft. But before we do that

45
00:02:10,440 –> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: and jump into the trenches, let’s go around the world

46
00:02:13,280 –> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: thinking of Kansas City being the capital city of the

47
00:02:16,120 –> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: Chief’s Kingdom. Yeah, so we’ve got eleven Today for Mark

48
00:02:19,280 –> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: was about this scaling down in Texas and his game

49
00:02:21,560 –> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati. There we go and againt Cincinnati one of

50
00:02:24,440 –> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: the heroes of the playoff run. But also he’s down

51
00:02:26,280 –> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: in Texas with a bunch of other guys training with

52
00:02:28,280 –> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes already. So you know, I was with Patrick

53
00:02:31,240 –> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago in Tyler, Texas, and he

54
00:02:33,520 –> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: was talking about that. He was like, you know, when

55
00:02:35,840 –> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: we start and then there’s the virtual they do virtual OTAs,

56
00:02:39,800 –> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: but he was already laying out. He was talking to

57
00:02:42,120 –> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: me how he’s gonna lay out his own OTAs. We

58
00:02:44,120 –> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: know that was where they run to Super Bowl fifty

59
00:02:46,520 –> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: seven actually started big time. It’s just crazy how we

60
00:02:49,720 –> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: were playing like a month and a half ago and

61
00:02:51,840 –> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: now they’re they’re training already getting ready for next season.

62
00:02:54,680 –> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: I can’t wait. I’m ready. I hate this time when

63
00:02:56,560 –> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: there’s no football. But it’s just wild how it never

64
00:02:58,960 –> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: really ends if you win the Super Bowl and host

65
00:03:01,400 –> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: a parade. But anyway, let’s go around in the world

66
00:03:03,840 –> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: and then host the draft. Yeah, it’s good, the good

67
00:03:05,440 –> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: life to have. So we’ve got Michael in the Finger

68
00:03:08,440 –> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: Lakes region of New York State. We’ve heard from Michael before.

69
00:03:11,240 –> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: Todd is listening in Ukraine, so wow, stay safe, Todd. Yeah.

70
00:03:16,680 –> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: Richard is in southern California. Caro and Madayoush are in Dortmund, Germany.

71
00:03:22,680 –> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: And get this, they’ve booked their flight in their hotel.

72
00:03:25,200 –> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: They’re coming here for the season opener in September. Well, wait,

73
00:03:28,160 –> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: we’re going there, I know. So they’re coming here. They’re

74
00:03:30,639 –> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: coming here. Yeah, they can’t wait for the seasons, which

75
00:03:32,880 –> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: will be on a Thursday night. We know, yep. So

76
00:03:34,920 –> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: they’re asking if we have any ticket hook ups to

77
00:03:36,760 –> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: let him know, sure or work on that. Marcus in Massachusetts,

78
00:03:40,640 –> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: he and his family will be here for the Draft

79
00:03:42,320 –> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: in a few weeks. We’ve got Sea Dog in Oklahoma City.

80
00:03:45,760 –> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: He calls it Chiefs Kingdom Heartland. Alan is in Queensland, Australia.

81
00:03:50,320 –> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: Brian is in Carney, Nebraska. I pronounced that correctly, right, Carney. Yeah,

82
00:03:53,800 –> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: it’s it’s not Karney, it’s Carney, all of the Bearcats

83
00:03:57,400 –> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: or the University of Nebraska, Carney Lopers. Not far from

84
00:04:00,720 –> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: Smith Center, right, not far about an hour, about an

85
00:04:03,240 –> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: hour and fifteen minutes. All right, Yeah, then we’ve got

86
00:04:05,840 –> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: a listener in Boise, Idaho, a listener in Malta, Montana.

87
00:04:09,320 –> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: And Anthony is in Marshfield, Missouri. Marshfield just out of Springfield,

88
00:04:13,920 –> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: which who knows a hot bit of the Chiefs Kingdom. Okay,

89
00:04:17,120 –> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: we’re going to dive in this edition of Defending the

90
00:04:19,760 –> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: Kingdom into offensive and defensive lines, which is the will

91
00:04:25,640 –> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: for offensive line. It’s like the least sexy discussion when

92
00:04:28,880 –> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: you talk about the draft. However, we also know what

93
00:04:32,400 –> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: it has meant, especially the last two years for the

94
00:04:35,360 –> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: Chiefs success. When you see a Creed Humphrey become the

95
00:04:39,120 –> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: best center in the National Football League at Tray Smith

96
00:04:41,640 –> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: being one of the best value picks in the history

97
00:04:43,520 –> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs in the draft adding a Joe Tuney.

98
00:04:47,200 –> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: But I’ll say this, I’ve said this two hundred times.

99
00:04:49,680 –> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: I’ve said it on DTK. I’ll say it some more.

100
00:04:51,839 –> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: I’ll say it two hundred more times. Find me at

101
00:04:55,200 –> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: any level. You could be the Smith Center High School team,

102
00:04:58,960 –> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: or you could be the Kansas City Chiefs. Find me

103
00:05:02,160 –> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: a good football team with a bad offensive line. Find one,

104
00:05:06,600 –> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: because it’ll be the first one doesn’t exist. It’s the

105
00:05:09,120 –> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: last team. It’s the last thing we look at and

106
00:05:11,040 –> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: evaluating teams at all levels. It could be Blue Velley

107
00:05:13,920 –> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: North and Blue Vellley Northwest and you’re looking, but the

108
00:05:16,880 –> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: last thing we look at the offensive line, and after quarterback,

109
00:05:19,640 –> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: it ought to be the next thing you look at.

110
00:05:21,279 –> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: This is where like as a football fan, I have

111
00:05:23,400 –> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: grown over time because like as a teenager, you don’t

112
00:05:26,920 –> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: want to ever take an offensive lineman in the first round.

113
00:05:29,320 –> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: You want like a wide receiver or a corner or

114
00:05:32,000 –> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: a running back or something like a skill position player.

115
00:05:35,480 –> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: But you’re one hundred percent right. Football’s won in the trenches.

116
00:05:38,080 –> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: And I think Chiefs fans know that too at this

117
00:05:40,960 –> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: point after what happened in Super Bowl fifty five. The

118
00:05:43,400 –> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: more depth you can have an offensive line, whether that

119
00:05:46,360 –> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: be in the interior or at tackle, the better. Because

120
00:05:48,760 –> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: it’s a long football season, guys, are going to get

121
00:05:50,800 –> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: hurt at some point. And when you can have guys

122
00:05:53,120 –> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: step into a role and there’s no drop off and

123
00:05:55,960 –> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is time to deliver the football, that’s how

124
00:05:58,200 –> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: you win games. It was the first time Andy Reid

125
00:06:02,000 –> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: made the playoffs as head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.

126
00:06:04,880 –> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: And think about Matt what he had done with the

127
00:06:07,000 –> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. He was parentially in the playoffs with them,

128
00:06:10,160 –> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: got all the way to a Super Bowl runner up

129
00:06:12,000 –> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: and he lost to the Patriots. But he told me

130
00:06:14,880 –> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: that very first getting ready for that game against the

131
00:06:17,680 –> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: Colts in twenty thirteen. But he said, everything goes faster.

132
00:06:21,640 –> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: It’s quicker in the playoffs. We all know that playoff speed,

133
00:06:24,800 –> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: but he said, especially in the trenches, if it goes

134
00:06:27,960 –> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: from regular season speed to playoff speed, for everybody, it

135
00:06:31,960 –> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: is double the speed and intensity in the trenches in

136
00:06:35,400 –> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And that was a lightning rod moment for me,

137
00:06:39,880 –> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: especially in the postseason. And we’ve seen that come to

138
00:06:42,440 –> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: life in the two Super Bowl championships of how the

139
00:06:45,080 –> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: offensive lineman especially came together in those two runs. And

140
00:06:49,279 –> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: it seems like everybody has a really good pass rushing

141
00:06:51,920 –> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: duo now you just need a good offensive line in

142
00:06:54,600 –> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: order to find success in this league offensively, because everyone

143
00:06:57,320 –> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: has two or three really good pass rushers are a

144
00:07:00,200 –> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: really great interior of the defensive line where they can

145
00:07:02,480 –> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: create pressure and mess up what you want to do.

146
00:07:05,040 –> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: And if you don’t have good offensive lineman up front,

147
00:07:07,160 –> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: you can give your quarterback a chance. It’s very difficult

148
00:07:09,560 –> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: to win, and it sounds duper cliche, but football truly

149
00:07:13,240 –> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: is one in the trenches. And as we’ll talk about,

150
00:07:15,760 –> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: there’s some solid tackle options at the back end of

151
00:07:18,640 –> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: the first round or early in the second round in

152
00:07:20,440 –> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: this draft that I think could help us on day one.

153
00:07:22,600 –> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: You may win your fantasy league with a wide receiver,

154
00:07:24,760 –> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: but you’ll have parades with offensive and defensive lineman. So

155
00:07:28,240 –> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: let’s jump into the defensive line, and you mentioned duos.

156
00:07:31,880 –> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: Can I take you back to your youth. Let’s do it,

157
00:07:34,360 –> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: because think about the Kansas City Chiefs and what Chris

158
00:07:37,200 –> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Jones did last year. He was arguably the best defensive

159
00:07:40,760 –> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: lineman in the National Football League. With what he did.

160
00:07:43,920 –> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: We’ve kind of laid all that out in past episodes

161
00:07:46,080 –> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: and you’ve saw it happen. But getting someone to be

162
00:07:51,160 –> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: with him as a force on the defensive line as

163
00:07:55,080 –> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: a one two punch and with the other guys to

164
00:07:57,040 –> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: rotate in because Derek Naughty resign and we see, you

165
00:08:01,600 –> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: know coming back as Turk will come back too from

166
00:08:04,680 –> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: his injury. Turk Warton coming back from his acl injury.

167
00:08:07,640 –> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: But think about another mountain man in there. Let me

168
00:08:10,680 –> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: take you back to your youth. You want to go there? Yeah, okay,

169
00:08:12,840 –> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: can’t wait. I want to take you to the two

170
00:08:14,320 –> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: thousand and four, two thousand and five Jacksonville Jaguars. Okay, now,

171
00:08:19,400 –> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: the Oh four Jaguars. I assert ruined the chief season

172
00:08:24,240 –> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs only had to get a yard to

173
00:08:26,360 –> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: pick up a first down and they lose to Jacksonville

174
00:08:29,360 –> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: twenty two to sixteen because of John Henderson and Marcus Stroud.

175
00:08:34,040 –> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: John Henderson, John Henderson and Marcus Stroud. And this goes

176
00:08:37,720 –> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: to Raccoon Mountain. We’ll get to that in a second.

177
00:08:39,600 –> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: Two John Henderson and Marcus Stroud were two skyscrapers that

178
00:08:43,240 –> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: stood right in the middle of the defensive line. It

179
00:08:45,520 –> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of the Kent City Chiefs of

180
00:08:47,400 –> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: the sixty nine Super Bowl four champions. When you went

181
00:08:50,320 –> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: down the line of like oh Buck Buchanan and Curly

182
00:08:52,520 –> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: Colp and Jerry Mays and Aaron Brown. Right, if the

183
00:08:57,320 –> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: Chiefs can find someone of that ilk in this draft

184
00:09:02,520 –> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: to stay in side by side with Chris Jones and

185
00:09:05,440 –> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: then have the rotational pieces come in all of a sudden.

186
00:09:09,400 –> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: Now you take the Kansas City Chiefs perhaps to another

187
00:09:12,040 –> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: level and maybe a level and a half on the

188
00:09:14,120 –> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: defensive set. Yeah, because it opens up things for everybody,

189
00:09:17,240 –> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: not just Chris Jones, but also George carloftis on the edge,

190
00:09:20,000 –> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: Charles o many Hue on the edge or inside wherever

191
00:09:23,080 –> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: he’s playing. And if the Chiefs add an edge rusher

192
00:09:25,080 –> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: in this draft, because there’s really great depth that edge

193
00:09:27,440 –> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: in this draft. We talked about the edge guys last

194
00:09:29,440 –> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: week on DTK, opens up opportunities for them as well.

195
00:09:32,960 –> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Mike Dana, If you can have a force in the

196
00:09:35,320 –> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: middle where the opposing offensive line has to worry about

197
00:09:39,200 –> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: multiple guys, one of them being Chris Jones, just makes

198
00:09:42,480 –> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: life a lot easier for a defense. And there’s some

199
00:09:44,520 –> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: guys in this draft, maybe not a superstar at thirty one,

200
00:09:48,559 –> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: but some really good players who maybe could open up

201
00:09:50,640 –> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: some opportunities for our guys. Yeah, I’m gonna bring up

202
00:09:53,000 –> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: the nightmares Super Bowl fifty five too. Just go back

203
00:09:55,160 –> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: and watch that if you can bear it, because that

204
00:09:57,640 –> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: defensive front for the Buccaneers. Do you think about Vida

205
00:10:00,720 –> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: destroyed that game. He just destroyed that game. He’s the

206
00:10:03,000 –> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: kind of player we’re talking about here because people forget

207
00:10:04,880 –> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: about him. They talk about Shack Barrett, they talk about JPP.

208
00:10:08,040 –> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: But Vita Via was the key to all of that.

209
00:10:10,320 –> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: Did not play against the Chiefs that you’re in the

210
00:10:11,880 –> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: regular season. He did in Super Bowl fifty five and

211
00:10:13,880 –> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: wreck the party. All right, let’s start with your first one.

212
00:10:16,160 –> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: We’ll go back and forth. Here. Your first interior defensive

213
00:10:19,440 –> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: lineman that is intriguing or catches your eye. How about

214
00:10:22,840 –> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: Mazzi Smith from Michigan Mass Smith. So, Mazzie Smith’s a

215
00:10:26,520 –> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: guy who would make sense at pick number thirty one

216
00:10:29,120 –> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: at the Chiefs wanted to go defensive tackle. Could also

217
00:10:31,360 –> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: be an early Day two pick, maybe depending on how

218
00:10:33,559 –> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: the board falls, but really good player. He’s six foot three,

219
00:10:36,640 –> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty three pounds. Bruce Felban from The

220
00:10:39,760 –> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: Athletic does his annual Freaks list. Do you ever look

221
00:10:42,640 –> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: at that? Yeah? Yeah, So he basically just outlines the

222
00:10:45,960 –> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: freakiest players in college football. This was back in August,

223
00:10:49,200 –> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: and Mazzie Smith was number one on his freaks list,

224
00:10:52,360 –> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: because guys who are three hundred and twenty three pounds

225
00:10:54,720 –> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: should not move like Mazzie Smith does. PFF called him

226
00:10:58,840 –> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: one of the strongest player in this draft class. Dane

227
00:11:02,040 –> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: Brugler from The Athletic, one of the best draft analysts

228
00:11:04,240 –> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: out there, use the words power and physicality when talking

229
00:11:08,000 –> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: about him. He averaged nearly fifty snaps per game last year,

230
00:11:11,480 –> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: so rarely came off the field, zero penalties and thirty

231
00:11:15,360 –> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: five career games. And he’s not a Chris Jones type

232
00:11:19,240 –> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: where he’s going to be bursting through the line and

233
00:11:21,840 –> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: getting all these tackles for loss and sacking the quarterback.

234
00:11:24,920 –> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: That’s not really his game. But he could be a

235
00:11:26,880 –> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: traditional nose tackle where he’s just swallowing up the middle

236
00:11:30,679 –> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: of the offensive line and opening up opportunities for everybody else.

237
00:11:34,080 –> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: And he is such a problem on his own that

238
00:11:36,760 –> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: the offensive line has to account for him. And also

239
00:11:39,360 –> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: he could be a very good player against the run.

240
00:11:41,400 –> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: So Mazzie Smith is my first guy. Love it. Mazie

241
00:11:44,400 –> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Smith’s type is, I mean, he just destroys it. You

242
00:11:48,600 –> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: just described it perfectly. But he just wrecks like the

243
00:11:50,840 –> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: a gap and allows everybody else to reac having. But

244
00:11:53,720 –> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: he’s so powerful, and people say, well, the Chiefs don’t

245
00:11:56,120 –> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: run a three four who whoa whoa. Sometimes they do

246
00:11:59,120 –> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: and sometimes you can have true zero tech like him.

247
00:12:01,480 –> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: But I think that’s an excellent one. Another guy that

248
00:12:04,559 –> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: has that’s just interesting to study. His brand. Bazi of

249
00:12:07,920 –> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: the Clemson Tigers, a mountain man from a tall sham

250
00:12:13,480 –> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: twenty six to five and a half, not as heavies

251
00:12:15,520 –> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: at two ninety eight. And what’s interesting about him is

252
00:12:18,960 –> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: most of the hype of when he came into Clemson

253
00:12:21,320 –> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: he was the number one recruit in the country in

254
00:12:23,800 –> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: high school football that year, and he didn’t really live

255
00:12:26,720 –> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: up to that expectation at Clemson until maybe the end.

256
00:12:32,000 –> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: Now he’s gone through a lot. If you look at him,

257
00:12:34,520 –> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: you’ve got to maybe project the ceiling here. Yeah, Okay,

258
00:12:37,840 –> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: torn acl in twenty twenty one took out his season.

259
00:12:41,040 –> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: Then he had shoulder surgery in twenty twenty two. It

260
00:12:43,240 –> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: really affected Clemson’s year if they weren’t the Samuel Clemson Tigers.

261
00:12:46,840 –> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: And then he had to deal with the tragedy of

262
00:12:49,040 –> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: losing his fifteen year old sister who had a really tragic,

263
00:12:53,320 –> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: aggressive brain cancer and he had to miss time because

264
00:12:57,679 –> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: of that. But I know you’ve watch this video too.

265
00:13:00,880 –> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: When he came back and wait for us, I think

266
00:13:02,840 –> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: that was the first game back. He just took the

267
00:13:05,200 –> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: game over. Yeah, he’s just like I’ll eat you, you, you,

268
00:13:08,360 –> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: and you, and you could see that he was playing

269
00:13:10,640 –> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: with that kind of impetus behind him. But his presence now, Also,

270
00:13:16,520 –> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: if you’re a Boston College fan, you don’t want to

271
00:13:18,360 –> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: look it. I know you like Zay is that you’re

272
00:13:20,160 –> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: a man’s ay, but don’t look at the quarterback getting

273
00:13:22,920 –> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: destroyed by him by Brazie in the end zone. So

274
00:13:26,400 –> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: to me, he becomes that mountain man who could stand

275
00:13:29,440 –> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: right beside Chris Jones when the opposing quarterback is coming

276
00:13:33,000 –> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: up to the line of scrimmage and Tea seeing two skyscrapers. Yeah,

277
00:13:36,760 –> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: I think if he didn’t have the ACL and the

278
00:13:40,160 –> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: personal tragedies and all of those things that really weren’t

279
00:13:43,200 –> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: in his control, I think it’s realistic to think he

280
00:13:45,679 –> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: could be like a top fifteen pick in this draft.

281
00:13:48,280 –> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: And when you’re a team like the Chiefs picking at

282
00:13:50,360 –> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: thirty one. If there’s a guy who’s talent tracks as

283
00:13:53,960 –> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: a top fifteen potential pick, but just because of things

284
00:13:57,920 –> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: out of his control, the production wasn’t all is there

285
00:14:00,400 –> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: and he’s not going to be drafted that high, could

286
00:14:02,240 –> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: be a great value pick for the Chiefs. Kind of

287
00:14:04,800 –> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: reminds me of when the Eagles had Fletcher Cox and

288
00:14:07,160 –> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: Javon Hargrave, Like you have two just dudes along your

289
00:14:10,280 –> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: defensive front. That’s the kind of player Brazie is, so,

290
00:14:13,440 –> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I’d be all about it if he was

291
00:14:14,960 –> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: there at thirty one. Another one for me Keanu Benten

292
00:14:19,680 –> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin. Yeah. Yeah, So he’s six foot four, three

293
00:14:23,640 –> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: hundred and nine pounds, versatile player, has a ton of

294
00:14:27,320 –> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: experience lining up and doing some different things on the

295
00:14:30,040 –> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: interior over the the A and B gap, bunch of

296
00:14:32,400 –> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: snaps in both spots, strong violent hands, or a couple

297
00:14:36,240 –> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: of notes that you see from the draft analists out there.

298
00:14:39,920 –> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: He pairs that with a great jump off the line.

299
00:14:42,320 –> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: So oftentimes in one quick motion, in an instant, you’ll

300
00:14:45,720 –> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: see him swim over the guard or the center and

301
00:14:47,960 –> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: be in the backfield. Just a really athletic players. Consint

302
00:14:51,840 –> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: runs a three four, so he was the nose and

303
00:14:54,520 –> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: that and that’s kind of how you would translate probably

304
00:14:56,600 –> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: to the NFL, even though the Chiefs are a four three,

305
00:14:58,560 –> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: Like you were explaining, he could be lined up right

306
00:15:00,600 –> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: over the center or the amb gap and just kind

307
00:15:03,240 –> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: of wreak havoc upfront in a similar manner to how

308
00:15:06,440 –> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: I explained Mazi Smith would. This is from Dane Brugler

309
00:15:09,720 –> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: from the athletic Benton needs to play with consistent leverage

310
00:15:12,840 –> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: and become a more consistent finisher for the NFL game.

311
00:15:15,840 –> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: But his stout power base and above average athleticism at

312
00:15:19,120 –> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: his size are outstanding foundation traits. He has the talent

313
00:15:22,720 –> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: to play all over the defensive line as a pro.

314
00:15:25,280 –> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: Sounds like a Spaggs guy, doesn’t he Yeah, when I

315
00:15:27,880 –> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: saw him, I thought Spags guy because he’s moved outside

316
00:15:30,840 –> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: and inside as you’ve said. Plus he’s grown. It’s you

317
00:15:34,440 –> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: see the ceiling with him. He was a suburban Milwaukee kid.

318
00:15:37,560 –> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: So this guy wasn’t you know, from the southeast somewhere

319
00:15:40,520 –> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. Got him. So he’s kind of grown within

320
00:15:43,960 –> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: their program. But but there’s times again he can be

321
00:15:47,200 –> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: dominant and you get the pass rush with him, maybe

322
00:15:49,880 –> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: even more than a Mazy Smith, Yeah, who will just

323
00:15:52,520 –> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: like crush the pocket. You’ll get an electric pass rush

324
00:15:56,280 –> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: with him at times. So yeah, he’s intriguing Quentin our

325
00:16:00,200 –> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: analytics department upstairs as a huge Wisconsin fan, just a

326
00:16:03,600 –> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: gigantic badger and he’s been harping on Keanu for weeks now,

327
00:16:07,240 –> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: and I was like, I’m going to talk about him today,

328
00:16:08,920 –> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: like give any notes on him. And he also made

329
00:16:11,160 –> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: a good point in that three to four in Wisconsin

330
00:16:13,800 –> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: that opens up opportunities for the outside linebackers, right, Well,

331
00:16:16,720 –> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: you look at our guy Leo Chanel had a huge

332
00:16:19,520 –> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: season two years ago, and then Jack Sanborne, same deal,

333
00:16:23,400 –> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: what three seasons ago, huge gigantic season. Well those are

334
00:16:27,040 –> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: great players, but things have to be opened up for him.

335
00:16:29,840 –> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: And that’s Keanu Benton in the middle, creating lanes for

336
00:16:33,000 –> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: the outside linebackers to rereak havoc. So Kanda Betten a

337
00:16:36,240 –> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: very good player in college and could make a lot

338
00:16:37,880 –> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: of sense here in Kansas City. Wisconsin’s given the NFL

339
00:16:40,480 –> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: some defensive lineman. Just think of the wat brothers, right,

340
00:16:42,880 –> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: maybe’dn’t have to go any further, all right, And this

341
00:16:45,960 –> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: is one that you got your attention to and another

342
00:16:49,840 –> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: guy that had a much better twenty twenty one, and

343
00:16:52,680 –> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: people kind of wondered what happened in twenty twenty two,

344
00:16:55,320 –> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: And it’s Siaki Ea or Apu Eka if you want

345
00:16:58,680 –> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: to shorten it, but you shorten the size of this

346
00:17:01,320 –> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: guy sixty four, three hundred and fifty eight pounds. Now

347
00:17:05,119 –> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: there’s the offensive lineman from Ohio State him. Notwithstanding, Eca

348
00:17:09,760 –> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: could be the biggest guy drafted in the last ten

349
00:17:12,400 –> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: years in the National Football League Draft. He started at LSU,

350
00:17:16,600 –> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: he played on LSU’s national championship team, then he transfers

351
00:17:20,720 –> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: to Baylor. I remember watching him at Baylor at twenty

352
00:17:24,000 –> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: twenty one again much like m It’s like the kid

353
00:17:26,960 –> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: at Michigan just destroying the A gapps and eating the line.

354
00:17:31,160 –> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: Very highly productive. A comp here is like a Dontari

355
00:17:34,560 –> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: Poe or Danny Shelton was another comp that they gave.

356
00:17:37,520 –> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: So we know about Danny Shelton, right. This is a

357
00:17:40,160 –> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: large human who is very athletic. Reminds me of an

358
00:17:44,520 –> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: Adminican Soe type too. But the question is what happened

359
00:17:48,600 –> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: to him in twenty twenty two, because he did not

360
00:17:51,119 –> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: equal what he did in twenty twenty one, and some

361
00:17:54,240 –> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: of it is like weight management, and so with him,

362
00:17:56,880 –> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: there’s a little bit of a buyer’s beware of what

363
00:17:59,720 –> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: will happened to him once you get him. And that’s

364
00:18:02,040 –> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: where you lean on your scouting staff, your front office,

365
00:18:05,680 –> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: your coaching staff. Like that’s why all these meetings are

366
00:18:07,960 –> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: so important. You’re trying to figure out why wasn’t your

367
00:18:10,920 –> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: year last year as good as it was two years ago.

368
00:18:13,640 –> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: And if he ends up being a Chief, that means

369
00:18:15,440 –> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: that Brett Veach and Coachree feel comfortable with those answers

370
00:18:18,080 –> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: and thinking they can correct him because you can’t teach

371
00:18:21,280 –> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: sixty three and thirty five pounds. I mean, he’s a

372
00:18:24,640 –> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: monster of a human, like you said, And for me,

373
00:18:28,280 –> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: I think he’d be a great prototypical nose tackle in

374
00:18:31,760 –> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: this defense. But also imagine the plays that Coachree would

375
00:18:34,640 –> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: draw up. He would definitely touch the ball on offense,

376
00:18:36,880 –> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: wouldn’t he hungry pig might be back. That’s what I’m saying.

377
00:18:39,880 –> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: We were disappointed Colin Siders didn’t get a touchdown last year.

378
00:18:42,359 –> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: This guy’s definitely getting a touchdown at some point if

379
00:18:44,320 –> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: he’s a chief. Oh yeah, he’ll get one. But if

380
00:18:47,520 –> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 1: he can recapture what he did in twenty twenty one.

381
00:18:50,000 –> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: I remember watching his gaming as k State Live. I

382
00:18:52,760 –> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: mean he destroyed Kase States front and just determined the

383
00:18:56,200 –> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: game for Baylor. And then and the next year he

384
00:18:58,320 –> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: just didn’t get that done. So there’s what another one?

385
00:19:01,600 –> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: Can I throw another one in there? Horse one before

386
00:19:03,480 –> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: we go to the offensive lines? Do it? Because you

387
00:19:06,160 –> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: and I watched these videos, we kind of do the

388
00:19:08,040 –> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: deep scuba dive in and then all of a sudden

389
00:19:10,000 –> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: he’ll be late at night. You’ll text me somebody, and

390
00:19:11,880 –> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: I’ll text you, go, Hey, have you looked at Carl

391
00:19:14,480 –> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: Brooks of Bowling Green, the fighting falcons of Bowling Green?

392
00:19:19,200 –> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: You don’t know about this guy? Sixty three three h

393
00:19:21,400 –> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: three crazy productivity in his senior year eighteen tackles for losses,

394
00:19:28,080 –> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: ten sacks, sixty nine pressures is Pro Football Focus grade,

395
00:19:31,600 –> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: and win pass rate was ninety three, one of the

396
00:19:35,359 –> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: top in the country. Now here’s where though, the lights

397
00:19:38,960 –> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: started clicking, and let’s go back to last week’s Defending

398
00:19:41,600 –> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: the Kingdom episode of Remember looking through the Kingdom lens.

399
00:19:44,840 –> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: If you look at Carl Brooks, large human, very athletic human.

400
00:19:49,000 –> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: In two years with bowling Green five hundred four snaps

401
00:19:52,960 –> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: over the tackle, so like a three technique right, and

402
00:19:56,800 –> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: then six hundred fifty three snaps on the edge, almost

403
00:20:00,359 –> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty ratio where he could play inside and outside.

404
00:20:04,200 –> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: And you think, well, he played a bullet and Green

405
00:20:05,800 –> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: that’s the MAC. He’s going to dominate the MAC. Stop it.

406
00:20:08,840 –> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: In his years he played at UCLA, at Mississippi State,

407
00:20:12,480 –> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: at Tennessee, at Minnesota, and his first career sack was

408
00:20:15,800 –> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: at k State. He’s been good against top flight competition.

409
00:20:19,520 –> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: Carl Brooks. If you want something sneaky out of Bulling Green, yeah,

410
00:20:22,560 –> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: I don’t really care for when people say, well, they

411
00:20:25,080 –> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: played in the MAC or they played wherever. I don’t care.

412
00:20:28,359 –> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: If you can play, you can play, and you turn

413
00:20:30,440 –> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: the tape on. It’s obvious that Carl Brooks can play.

414
00:20:33,680 –> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: And the versatility that you mentioned again, Steve Spagnola would

415
00:20:36,800 –> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: love having a guy like that. Where as a rookie,

416
00:20:39,160 –> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: you could deploy him in different spots along the defensive line.

417
00:20:41,840 –> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: You’d take a lot of sense. Now we see Division

418
00:20:43,600 –> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: two players and FCS players become stars in this league.

419
00:20:47,200 –> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: All right, let’s go to the offensive line and people

420
00:20:50,480 –> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: go well, wait a minute, the offensive oh and needs

421
00:20:52,280 –> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: some tackles here, maybe ryand Orlando Brown juniors. Now Bengal

422
00:20:55,080 –> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: and Andrew Wiley has moved on. He’s got his next

423
00:20:57,680 –> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: spot and picking up Juwan. Now we’re gonna do it

424
00:21:00,960 –> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: right tackle guy Shlucas Niyanga setting there. But let’s talk

425
00:21:04,880 –> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: about this draft at offensive tackle in specific, because to me,

426
00:21:09,280 –> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: I think there is a direct correlation to the edge.

427
00:21:13,320 –> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: You’ve mentioned this many times in doing the scuba dive.

428
00:21:16,440 –> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: There’s a lot of edge rushers in this draft. You

429
00:21:19,119 –> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: could get really good value second, maybe even the third

430
00:21:22,280 –> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: round with offensive tackle, especially if you’re looking for right

431
00:21:25,480 –> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: tackle or guys that can move the guard. There’s a

432
00:21:28,200 –> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: bunch of guys in this draft. Yeah, particularly at thirty one.

433
00:21:31,880 –> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: I think there’s gonna be some options. You never know

434
00:21:34,200 –> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: how the board’s going to fall. Some teams might fall

435
00:21:36,840 –> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: in love with some guys that we think would be

436
00:21:38,280 –> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: available at thirty one and beyond. But I think there’s

437
00:21:41,359 –> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: a good shot that if the Chiefs want to add

438
00:21:44,000 –> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: a really good tackle prospect, they’re going to be able

439
00:21:46,160 –> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: to do so at thirty one. So one guy that

440
00:21:48,840 –> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: I wrote down is Anton Harrison from Oklahoma and one

441
00:21:52,720 –> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: of the better tackle prospects in this draft. He’s six

442
00:21:55,440 –> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: foot four three and fifteen pounds. Both the Pro Football

443
00:21:59,240 –> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: Focus and Day Burglar point out that he has the

444
00:22:01,600 –> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: movement skills of a smaller player despite immense size, which

445
00:22:06,200 –> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: is great because the tradeoff traditionally is if you have

446
00:22:09,000 –> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: a really big player, he’s going to struggle on an

447
00:22:10,920 –> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: island and be a little bit slower. But both Burglar

448
00:22:14,080 –> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: MPF think he has the movement skills to recover quickly

449
00:22:18,119 –> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: despite his big size. He’s a very athletic tackle and

450
00:22:21,440 –> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: he has good length, only allowed one knockdown all year

451
00:22:24,840 –> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: last season. PF thinks he’s an NFL ready pass protector,

452
00:22:28,880 –> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: which is great news because nobody throws the football more

453
00:22:31,119 –> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: than the Kansas City Chiefs. And here’s the big thing

454
00:22:33,680 –> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: for me. If you look at any of these outlets

455
00:22:35,560 –> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: that do these evaluations, they think he projects as either

456
00:22:38,240 –> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: a left or a right tackle in the NFL. A

457
00:22:41,040 –> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: lot of times, even these top tackle prospects, if you

458
00:22:44,560 –> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: look closely, will say probably best as a guard or

459
00:22:48,000 –> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: probably a right tackle in the NFL. It’s really hard

460
00:22:51,240 –> 00:22:54,719
Speaker 1: to find left tackle prospects in the NFL. And if

461
00:22:54,760 –> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: you can get a guy like Anton Harrison. Maybe he

462
00:22:56,560 –> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: doesn’t play left tackle right away, but he can do

463
00:22:59,240 –> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: it if needed, or down the line, he can play

464
00:23:01,440 –> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: left tackle. That’s a serious luxury that it’s hard to find,

465
00:23:04,920 –> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 1: especially at pick number thirty one in the draft. So

466
00:23:07,760 –> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: Anton Harrison is a guy that I like a lot.

467
00:23:09,760 –> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: I like him a lot too, and his athleticism is special.

468
00:23:13,520 –> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: I think. All right, Now, I dove into your childhood

469
00:23:17,400 –> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: right with the monsters that were the Jacksonville Jaguars when

470
00:23:21,560 –> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: you were in your heyday of loving the Chiefs, right

471
00:23:23,800 –> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: about what ten eleven, twelve years old and how they

472
00:23:26,640 –> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: wrecked the two thousand and four season. I can still

473
00:23:28,600 –> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: see that game in that lack of converting and those

474
00:23:32,280 –> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: two monsters of the Jaguars. Do you remember Ty Law

475
00:23:34,720 –> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: picking off Quinn Gray in like two thousand five? Yeah, big, big,

476
00:23:38,760 –> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: big moment. Never forget it, yeah, Quinn Gray. Now I’m

477
00:23:43,760 –> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: gonna jump into your family, especially your grandfather on your

478
00:23:46,720 –> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: maternal side, lose at Rook at Raccoon Mountain right Chattanooga. Ye,

479
00:23:50,720 –> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: And what does he love more than anything else other

480
00:23:52,760 –> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: than his family? Big orange baby, the Tennessee Volunteers. If

481
00:23:56,400 –> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: you look at this draft and the Tennessee Volunteers, people go, gosh,

482
00:24:00,000 –> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: Hendon Hooker, how about the ACL has it going to

483
00:24:01,880 –> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: come back? And even more so in the Kingdom, who

484
00:24:03,960 –> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: they’re thinking about Jalen Hyatt, Right, yep, and he does.

485
00:24:08,359 –> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: Oh when you start watching the offensive linemen, I’m gonna

486
00:24:12,000 –> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: talk about Darnell Right, you get caught on high like,

487
00:24:16,119 –> 00:24:18,239
Speaker 1: let me, I’m going back and look at that. No, no,

488
00:24:18,240 –> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: you’re supposed to watch the tackle. But Darnell Right gets

489
00:24:21,240 –> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: your attention. Okay, six three three thirty three. Love the

490
00:24:24,240 –> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: reach at thirty three and three fourths inches. Reaches big

491
00:24:28,160 –> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: for the offensive tackle. Here’s the other thing. For guards

492
00:24:32,200 –> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: and centers. You want wrestlers, think Creed Humphrey at tackles.

493
00:24:35,880 –> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: You want high school basketball players. Yeah. So Darnell Wright

494
00:24:39,560 –> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: is very athletic and he kind of went back and forth.

495
00:24:43,160 –> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: This goes to what you just mentioned about Harrison. But

496
00:24:46,520 –> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: twenty seven starts at right tackle. Then he had a

497
00:24:49,359 –> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: couple at right guard, played thirteen at left tackle, moved

498
00:24:52,480 –> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: him back to right tackle and kept him there. Here’s

499
00:24:55,040 –> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: a couple of things that jumped off the video at

500
00:24:56,840 –> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: me about Darnell Right. First of all, if he came

501
00:24:59,760 –> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs, he could be an immediate swing tackle.

502
00:25:02,359 –> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: There’s your third tackle, and think of the role Andrew

503
00:25:05,440 –> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: Wiley had most of the time in his career. All right,

504
00:25:08,640 –> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: that’s his start, and then he could morph into possibly

505
00:25:11,400 –> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: being a starter or your tackle over tackle if you

506
00:25:14,720 –> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: go big. All right, here’s the things that caught my attention.

507
00:25:17,359 –> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: They played a lot of tempo offense at Tennessee, a lot,

508
00:25:20,560 –> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: meaning no huddle, you’re up and running baby. Well, that

509
00:25:23,280 –> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: doesn’t translate to the NFL until the two minute offense.

510
00:25:27,560 –> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: You get into the four minute to two minute offense,

511
00:25:29,560 –> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: and so many offensive linemen cannot hack it, particularly earlier

512
00:25:33,640 –> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: in their career. When you get into the two minute

513
00:25:35,640 –> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: offense and you’re playing these elite rushers like the Bosses,

514
00:25:38,520 –> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: but you’re now going without a huddle. He did an

515
00:25:41,480 –> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: excellent job in Tennessee’s tempo offense. The other thing is

516
00:25:44,760 –> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: they moved him a lot. They would move him from

517
00:25:46,640 –> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: right tackle on a snap and pull him all the

518
00:25:49,000 –> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: way out to the left side outside the left tackle.

519
00:25:51,040 –> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: That was impressive. They did it a lot. And then

520
00:25:53,800 –> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: the third thing was probably why he’ll move up the board.

521
00:25:57,280 –> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: One game can do it and it was his game

522
00:25:59,680 –> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: against Will Anderson Junior of Alabama. One pressure by the

523
00:26:03,040 –> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: guy who might be just might be the top pick

524
00:26:06,040 –> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: in this draft. That was Tennessee’s like forever super Bowl.

525
00:26:09,560 –> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: That game. I mean it was what they scored like

526
00:26:12,040 –> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: fifty points and won in the game, winning, and all

527
00:26:15,400 –> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: of their guys Grandpa like that game. I think he did. Yeah,

528
00:26:18,359 –> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: and Jaleen Hyatt had like four touchdowns something crazy. Everyone

529
00:26:23,400 –> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: wearing an orange uniform had a huge game against Alabama

530
00:26:26,080 –> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: and will be remembered forever a neil and stadium for it.

531
00:26:29,000 –> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, Darnell writes a heck of a player. I

532
00:26:31,080 –> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: really like how he responded going back to right tackle. Yeah,

533
00:26:34,440 –> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: so some guys might see that as like a demotion

534
00:26:37,000 –> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: or might get down on themselves because he struggled a

535
00:26:40,000 –> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: bit at left tackle, but went back to right tackle

536
00:26:42,840 –> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: and was maybe the best right tackle in all of

537
00:26:45,000 –> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: college football. So it says a lot about him as

538
00:26:46,800 –> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: a player. And again, he could be a guy that

539
00:26:49,400 –> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: you don’t have to rush him in and be the

540
00:26:50,960 –> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: first day one starter, but he could be a really

541
00:26:53,600 –> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: good swing tackle and an opportunity here for the Chiefs.

542
00:26:58,320 –> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: All right, let’s go to your next offensive. So I’ve

543
00:27:00,600 –> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: got Dwan Jones from Ohio State. If you want a

544
00:27:05,720 –> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: mountain of a human. He’s six foot eight, three hundred

545
00:27:09,680 –> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: and seventy four pounds, so for some context years not

546
00:27:13,080 –> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: the heaviest guy drafted in ten years. This guy will

547
00:27:16,119 –> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: be yeah. So, oh my gosh. If you ever saw

548
00:27:19,119 –> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: Orlando Brown junior in person, he was a big guy. Well,

549
00:27:22,640 –> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: Dwan Jones is thirty four pounds heavier than Orlando Brown.

550
00:27:26,680 –> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: Doesn’t make any sense. He’s just gigantic and he has

551
00:27:30,119 –> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: a seven foot six wingspan. It broke the Senior Bowl record.

552
00:27:34,640 –> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: He’s just an absolute mammoth human being insane size and length,

553
00:27:39,640 –> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: and also really good at football. He didn’t allow a

554
00:27:41,600 –> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: single sacker hit last season for Ohio State. His one

555
00:27:45,119 –> 00:27:49,719
Speaker 1: point three percent pressure rate allowed led all tackles. Now,

556
00:27:50,000 –> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: when you’re that big, it’s hard to move yea and

557
00:27:53,440 –> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: him out on an island. His recovery speed, those are

558
00:27:56,240 –> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: all kind of knocks against him. People do say that

559
00:27:58,960 –> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: for his size, he’s actually pretty good at it, but

560
00:28:01,440 –> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: it’s just a reality. If you’re six foot eight, three

561
00:28:03,520 –> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy four pounds, you may struggle against the

562
00:28:06,240 –> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: occasional speed rusher. Just it’s physics. But Duan Jones is

563
00:28:11,480 –> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: gonna make it in the NFL with this size. Is

564
00:28:14,520 –> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: he a better fit for a run first, smash mouth

565
00:28:17,640 –> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: kind of team like the Ravens. Probably, But when you

566
00:28:21,119 –> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: have that kind of size, especially if you’re putting in

567
00:28:23,760 –> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: that right tackle, I think it could work for the

568
00:28:26,680 –> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: Chiefs because it’s hard to get around a six foot eight,

569
00:28:29,480 –> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy four pounds with a seven foot

570
00:28:31,640 –> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: six wingspans. Dwan Jones is a name to know, just

571
00:28:35,720 –> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: a mountain of a human being. When you watch his video,

572
00:28:38,760 –> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: you’re going Ravens right tackle. Yeah, sure, the ten guys

573
00:28:43,160 –> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: they’ve had that and he’ll dominate in that role for sure.

574
00:28:46,320 –> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah he’ll fit another guy that you had had your

575
00:28:49,800 –> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: eye on a while ago. But I’ll go with Matthew

576
00:28:53,440 –> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: bergeron six five, three twenty two pounds out of Syracuse.

577
00:28:57,080 –> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: Why is he fun? Because we remember Laraye n Hrd,

578
00:29:00,920 –> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: remember the Canadian doctor and fans would go, why do

579
00:29:02,920 –> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 1: you call him the Canadian doctor? Because he’s a Canadian doctor? Okay?

580
00:29:06,560 –> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: Anyone a Super Bowl for the Chiefs at right guard.

581
00:29:09,000 –> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: Bersieron is not a right guard. He’s a left tackle.

582
00:29:11,440 –> 00:29:14,479
Speaker 1: But he’s Canadian. Not sure he’s a doctor or not,

583
00:29:14,800 –> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: but he’s a Canadian and he’s been a four year

584
00:29:16,640 –> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: starter captain at Syracuse. Here’s what’s interesting. There are only

585
00:29:20,600 –> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: thirty seven players last year in college football from Canada

586
00:29:24,480 –> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: that played at Power five schools and only five of

587
00:29:28,680 –> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: those came from Quebec. Wow. So most of them think Ontario,

588
00:29:32,400 –> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: Toronto right, not far from Buffalo, and but Quebec has

589
00:29:36,200 –> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: not pumped out a bunch of like French Canadian NFL players.

590
00:29:40,280 –> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: Here’s your next one. Bersieron is very good. If you

591
00:29:44,000 –> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: look at his run blocking, he’s been awesome for Syracuse.

592
00:29:48,400 –> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: It’s the pass blocking that he struggled against. And people

593
00:29:51,520 –> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: would say, if you want to look at the NFL ready, guys,

594
00:29:54,480 –> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: you look at the SEC, especially the SEC West. Yeah,

595
00:29:58,160 –> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: acc this Year’ll think about who he up against. Miles

596
00:30:01,240 –> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: Murphy of Clemson, first round pick, Isaiah Folky of Notre Dame.

597
00:30:05,800 –> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: If not a first round or early second round pick him,

598
00:30:07,880 –> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: he went up against some elite rushers this year. Kean

599
00:30:10,400 –> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: White probably at Georgia tax same thing, which I know

600
00:30:13,600 –> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: you love him, the old tight end at Old Dominion.

601
00:30:16,360 –> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: But Matthew Bergeron is a guy that is he a

602
00:30:19,640 –> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: left tackle, probably because a lot of these guys you

603
00:30:22,640 –> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: want to move to right tackle. Or I was going

604
00:30:24,640 –> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: to throw in a third guy here, Peter Scronsky, who’s

605
00:30:26,800 –> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: thought to be the number one tackle in this draft. Yeah,

606
00:30:29,640 –> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: to me, he’s Joe Tuney. I think he was Joe Tuney.

607
00:30:33,160 –> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: He was great at Northwestern on a one to eleven team,

608
00:30:35,200 –> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: beat Nebraska in the opening game in Ireland and that

609
00:30:37,480 –> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: was it. He played on a terrible offense, but he

610
00:30:40,800 –> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: was this great player at tackle. But he looks like

611
00:30:43,160 –> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: Joe Tuney. So there’s a lot of guys you moved

612
00:30:45,560 –> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: to guard like Skronsky. A lot of guys you moved

613
00:30:48,320 –> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: maybe aren’t left tackle the right tackle. To me, bergerron

614
00:30:50,720 –> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: it’s not someone you would move. He’s gonna have to

615
00:30:53,000 –> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: grow into it. He’s not a Day one left tackle,

616
00:30:56,080 –> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: but he looks like a left tackle to me, what

617
00:30:58,000 –> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: you said about Scarronsky is kind of what I was

618
00:30:59,680 –> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: getting at the beginning of the show where or I

619
00:31:02,440 –> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: guess the beginning of when we were talking about offensive tackles.

620
00:31:04,920 –> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: So many of these guys, no matter how good they are,

621
00:31:07,160 –> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: it’s so hard to play tackle in the NFL that

622
00:31:10,440 –> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: even if they’re one of the best tackles in the nation,

623
00:31:13,000 –> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: they might be a guard at the next level. And

624
00:31:15,280 –> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: that’s the hard reality when you’re looking for tackles in

625
00:31:17,280 –> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: the draft. Just hard to find him. Now, Bergeron I

626
00:31:20,600 –> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: think could be a good player in the NFL. Is

627
00:31:23,000 –> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: he a first rounder? Probably not on. He’s probably a

628
00:31:25,120 –> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: Day two, maybe Day three. But the Chiefs need a

629
00:31:28,120 –> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: French Canadian on the team. It’s been years now, so

630
00:31:31,000 –> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: he would make a lot of sense. We need somebody

631
00:31:33,920 –> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: from French Quebec back on this team for sure. I

632
00:31:37,040 –> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: love it. And yes, he’s got to show some consistency.

633
00:31:40,320 –> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 1: But he was the first freshman to start a tackle

634
00:31:42,800 –> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: for Syracusan twenty years and he was a four year starter.

635
00:31:45,920 –> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: He’s a great story. I mean I was reading Dane

636
00:31:48,800 –> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: Brugler’s right up on him. He loved hockey like any

637
00:31:52,520 –> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: Canadian does. Basketball was his first love. But all of

638
00:31:56,120 –> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: a sudden he’s gigantic and they’re like, you gotta play football,

639
00:31:58,960 –> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: you just gotta do it. He’s like, all right, and

640
00:32:00,640 –> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: then turns out he’s going to end up in the NFL.

641
00:32:03,080 –> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: Not bad. Can I throw one more in? Of course,

642
00:32:05,560 –> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: just because this year we’re not going to have the

643
00:32:07,040 –> 00:32:08,959
Speaker 1: time because we’re hosting the draft for me to do

644
00:32:09,040 –> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: a feature that we’ve done in the past. I begged

645
00:32:11,360 –> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: Glenn Conley, right, I begged him, can I do the

646
00:32:14,840 –> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: Why do I Love this Guy so much? Feature? Right?

647
00:32:17,120 –> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: Do you think about the years? Yeah? He said no,

648
00:32:19,000 –> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: we got it too much to do. So that’s the

649
00:32:22,040 –> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: way it is, man, And when you’re down the totem

650
00:32:23,720 –> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: pulsit anyway. Cody Mock of North Dakota State, Yes, he’s

651
00:32:29,520 –> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: the ultimate. He’s why do I love this guy so much?

652
00:32:33,520 –> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: He lost his two front teeth in junior high basketball

653
00:32:37,040 –> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: and never replaced him. You can actually get teeth put

654
00:32:39,560 –> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: in there, right, Cody says. No. He’s from a little

655
00:32:42,600 –> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: town in North Dakota of nine hundred people. He played

656
00:32:45,320 –> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: nine man football and some think he’s going to be

657
00:32:48,360 –> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: a first round pick, probably second round, probably a guard.

658
00:32:51,120 –> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: He played left tackle for North Dakota State. We know

659
00:32:53,320 –> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 1: how legendary that program is. But Cody Mock high on him.

660
00:32:57,280 –> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: A mention to you, buddy, missing your two front teeth.

661
00:33:00,520 –> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: He’s got big red hair, like just crazy, like you know,

662
00:33:04,640 –> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: it’s just a main Yeah. I mean he’s just got

663
00:33:06,680 –> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: this uh and a coach Read would love him like

664
00:33:09,280 –> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: he If Coach Read calls you a redhead, it’s one

665
00:33:11,720 –> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: of the greatest compliments he can get. Cody Mak, Man,

666
00:33:15,360 –> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: you put that red and gold uniform on him with

667
00:33:17,320 –> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: no teeth. And I mean, this dude played nine man football.

668
00:33:20,760 –> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: Nine hundred people in his town, probably about ten people

669
00:33:23,680 –> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: in his graduating class. I’m gonna give a shout out

670
00:33:26,360 –> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: to Cody mak And he’s someone else who’s probably a

671
00:33:28,960 –> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: guard in the NFL. But I mean the Chiefs, their

672
00:33:32,080 –> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: interior offensive line is the best in the NFL in

673
00:33:34,680 –> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: my opinion. Like, if there’s one position group that I

674
00:33:36,720 –> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: don’t think the Chiefs are going to add, it’s probably

675
00:33:38,520 –> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: interior offensive line. But you never know the values there on.

676
00:33:42,080 –> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: A guy like Cody mok could be a very good

677
00:33:44,640 –> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: swing guard who can also play some tackle at the

678
00:33:46,920 –> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: next level. Plus Coach Read may just look at that

679
00:33:48,920 –> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: guy and go, hey, we’re gonna take it. We need him, Yeah,

680
00:33:51,080 –> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: we needna need him. Okay, Well, there you go. You

681
00:33:55,600 –> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: have to get it done in the trenches to win

682
00:33:57,960 –> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, especially in the playoffs, but

683
00:34:00,440 –> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: at any time. But man, it’s just so exciting now

684
00:34:03,040 –> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: as we get closer to the draft and the draft

685
00:34:04,800 –> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: being in Kansas City, once in a lifetime experience. Yeah,

686
00:34:07,720 –> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: it’s really gonna be a once in a lifetime experience.

687
00:34:09,920 –> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: And what I’m so excited for. And this is the

688
00:34:12,040 –> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: absolute nerd in me. Zee and I are sitting in

689
00:34:14,120 –> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: the conference room just writing out our little board and

690
00:34:16,280 –> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: crossing names off and it’s eleven o’clock at night and

691
00:34:19,120 –> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: we’re like, someone’s still available. And then once the first

692
00:34:21,920 –> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: round is over, looking at day two, the draft is

693
00:34:24,520 –> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: so much fun and just we’re gonna have a go

Speaker 1: pro in there for that. I think we should. Yeah,

695
00:34:28,440 –> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: that’s a good idea. Yeah, as long as we edit it. Yeah,

696
00:34:30,840 –> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: just seeing how it all plays out, right, seeing the strategy,

697
00:34:33,200 –> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: seeing how teams are maneuvering, and the good news for

698
00:34:36,239 –> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans is your Super Bowl champions. All right. There’s

699
00:34:38,520 –> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: so many teams trying to find their quarterback in this draft.

700
00:34:41,880 –> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: As Bryce Young, the guys, Will Levis the guy, as

701
00:34:44,600 –> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, CJ. Stroud, are they the guy? Are they’re

702
00:34:47,280 –> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: going to be our savior? The Chiefs have their guy.

703
00:34:49,800 –> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have a two time Super Bowl MVP. A

704
00:34:53,200 –> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: two time NFL MVP in the last four years, and

705
00:34:56,480 –> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: they have a guy who’s gonna lead this team hopefully

706
00:34:58,120 –> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: to many more championships. This ross is championship caliber and

707
00:35:01,880 –> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: it’s all about just getting a little bit better. And

708

Speaker 1: this is the perfect kind of draft. If you’re a
