Speaker 1: in at running back, first down and goal to go,

11
00:00:34,960 –> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: play action, fake right side doll touchdown, dudes on city

12
00:00:40,200 –> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: hook Toll Hartman, Look Toll Hartman?

13
00:00:43,040 –> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: What the catch on the right side to three yard touchdown?

14
00:00:48,200 –> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: Passing over time? How everybody?

15
00:00:50,920 –> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: I’m Mitchelt’s voice to the Chiefs along with senior team

16
00:00:53,760 –> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: reporter Matt McMullen. Okay, we kind of nerd out on it,

17
00:00:57,280 –> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: but not as much as some of the draft nerds.

18
00:00:59,640 –> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: But we have learned this being around the Kansas City

19
00:01:02,280 –> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs for eleven seasons with Andy Reid and with Brett

20
00:01:06,160 –> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: Veech since he took over full control in twenty eighteen,

21
00:01:10,280 –> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: that these three days coming up in the.

22
00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: NFL Draft, it all matters.

23
00:01:15,080 –> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: You know, there’s the cliche there’s no such thing as

24
00:01:18,000 –> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: a small thing. We’ve learned that in every part of

25
00:01:21,520 –> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: the Chief’s kingdom with Andy Reid. We talk about OTAs,

26
00:01:24,560 –> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: we talk about camp, we talk about position groups and

27
00:01:27,680 –> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: position coaches. I mean, just every little thing matters. It

28
00:01:31,000 –> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: all matters this weekend.

29
00:01:32,360 –> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: It really does. In the first round gets a lot

30
00:01:34,760 –> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 3: of the hype and excitement, and understandably so, it’s exciting.

31
00:01:38,640 –> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: But one of the main reasons the Chiefs have been

32
00:01:41,760 –> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: so good in the best team in the NFL over

33
00:01:44,040 –> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: the last five years, besides the fact that we have

34
00:01:46,319 –> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey and Chris Jones. That obviously helps,

35
00:01:49,680 –> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 3: but you have to supplement those players with talent around them,

36
00:01:52,720 –> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: and Brett Veach in the front office have been incredible

37
00:01:55,240 –> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: at that, particularly finding guys later in the draft. Listen

38
00:01:58,960 –> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: to some of these players them where they were drafted.

39
00:02:01,200 –> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: So Chamari Connor of course, made some big plays in

40
00:02:03,360 –> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: the playoffs last year, fourth round. Joshua Williams had an

41
00:02:06,680 –> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: interception in the AFC Championship game two years ago, played

42
00:02:09,320 –> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: some good corner for this team. Fourth round, Jalen Watson

43
00:02:12,560 –> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: seventh round, Isaiah Pacheco seventh round, Trey Smith sixth round.

44
00:02:16,639 –> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 3: Still can’t believe that Noah Gray fifth round, Mike Dana

45
00:02:19,800 –> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 3: fifth round, and Nick ali Gretti seventh round. Think about

46
00:02:23,080 –> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: that starting in the Super Bullet Guard as a seventh

47
00:02:26,360 –> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: round pick back in two thousand and nineteen. So every

48
00:02:30,040 –> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: single year, repeatedly, brettviach coach read in his front office

49
00:02:33,840 –> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 3: have found contributors later in the draft. So while the

50
00:02:36,639 –> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: first round is a lot of fun, we’re going to

51
00:02:38,080 –> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: talk about potential first round picks here during the podcast,

52
00:02:41,200 –> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: but don’t turn the draft off after Thursday. Keep watching

53
00:02:44,160 –> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: Friday through Saturday, because consistently the Chiefs have found champions

54
00:02:47,800 –> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: in the later rounds.

55
00:02:48,639 –> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: And your key is through Saturday. It’s throwing some others here.

56
00:02:51,800 –> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: You go to the and to build a roster. We’ve

57
00:02:54,000 –> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: talked about this before and the whole league talks about

58
00:02:56,040 –> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: it in Patrick Mahomes’ second contract, where his track with

59
00:03:00,760 –> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: the salary cap as it is, is going to eat up.

60
00:03:02,880 –> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: Let’s just about twenty five percent of the cap you

61
00:03:05,880 –> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: must draft. Well, there’s just it’s got of the way

62
00:03:08,440 –> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: it works, and it’s why teams have not been successful

63
00:03:10,520 –> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: many times on the Uber quarterback’s second contract.

64
00:03:13,360 –> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 2: So it’s filling in the gaps too.

65
00:03:15,080 –> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: If you look at the third round, Leo Chanall, who

66
00:03:18,160 –> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: might have had the most underrated effort in productivity during

67
00:03:23,639 –> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: the run to Super Bowl fifty eight, Derek Noddy re

68
00:03:27,240 –> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: signed plot or inside, He’s also in the third round

69
00:03:30,160 –> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: along with the guys that you mentioned, and so it

70
00:03:33,480 –> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: all counts in not only that, but undrafted free agency.

71
00:03:37,440 –> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: We saw what happened last year with the Cam Jones

72
00:03:39,720 –> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: out of Indiana or the last two years with Jack Cochran.

73
00:03:43,200 –> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: That’s when the bell rings after the draft ends on Saturday.

74
00:03:47,360 –> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: So it behooves everybody in the Chiefs Kingdom to pay

75
00:03:49,640 –> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: attention through all of this process.

76
00:03:52,280 –> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: And it’s fun. I mean, we’re back to back Super

77
00:03:54,240 –> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: Bowl champions and this is an opportunity to get even better.

78
00:03:57,120 –> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: That’s the way I look at this weekend is the

79
00:03:59,360 –> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: Chiefs are our ready back to back champions and they

80
00:04:01,760 –> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: will be better next week and we’re going to infuse

81
00:04:04,680 –> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: this roster with some young talents, some exciting talent, and

82
00:04:08,560 –> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 3: add to some positions that maybe we need to add

83
00:04:10,840 –> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: to and add some depth overall throughout this team. So

84
00:04:14,320 –> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: I love the draft. Draft season has always been fun.

85
00:04:16,520 –> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: I don’t really think about it until the season ends.

86
00:04:19,040 –> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: I know some people are doing Draft twenty four to seven.

87
00:04:21,400 –> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: I admire you for that. I don’t think about it

88
00:04:23,720 –> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 3: until the super Bowl is over. But again, it’s fun

89
00:04:26,240 –> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: to pour over these players, learn about these players, figure

90
00:04:29,320 –> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: out who might be a fit, and then see how

91
00:04:31,160 –> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 3: the draft board falls this weekend.

92
00:04:33,120 –> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you start having though mock UDFA picks, then

93
00:04:37,320 –> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: it gets a little extreme. Right, Let’s look at the

94
00:04:39,920 –> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: mock draft of the seventh round.

95
00:04:42,000 –> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 3: But people have the all too early mock draft that

96
00:04:44,480 –> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: will come out like on May first. It’s like this

97
00:04:47,560 –> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: is worthless.

98
00:04:49,120 –> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: It’s totally what are we doing? Except some we’ll just

99
00:04:51,960 –> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: like inhale it. But the Chiefs have picks in every

100
00:04:55,560 –> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: round but the sixth round currently standing this way, there

101
00:04:58,760 –> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: will be two in the fifth. So again, as we

102
00:05:02,560 –> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: just laid out every round, the Chiefs are there to

103
00:05:05,160 –> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 1: pick and could pick your next star next starter. Again

104
00:05:08,880 –> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: stands the sixth round, but who knows. We’ll get to

105
00:05:11,200 –> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: that a second. But before we get into Brett Veach’s

106
00:05:14,080 –> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: comments that he made and thinking about where Bev and

107
00:05:16,560 –> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: his staff he is going into this draft.

108
00:05:19,200 –> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 2: Let’s go around the world. We cannot go around.

109
00:05:21,680 –> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: I get ready for the draft where it it all

110
00:05:24,000 –> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: counts because we know every time we go around the

111
00:05:26,640 –> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: world that counts.

112
00:05:27,760 –> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: It sure does. Now we have two fifth round picks, right,

113
00:05:30,320 –> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: so I have five around the worlds for you.

114
00:05:32,440 –> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: Perfect.

115
00:05:33,160 –> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 3: We’ve got a listener from Duncan, Oklahoma. Ever been there?

116
00:05:36,680 –> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: I have not?

117
00:05:37,760 –> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: Okay, keep going because here’s a Dunkan, Oklahoma story.

118
00:05:40,880 –> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: Okay, of course there is heard from a Alu from Tompre, Finland.

119
00:05:48,000 –> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: Probably mispronouncing that, but Tom Pere, Finland, shout up to you.

120
00:05:52,920 –> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: We heard from Johan in Stockholm, Sweden. Scandinavia are so

121
00:05:57,640 –> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: big on Scandinavia.

122
00:05:59,040 –> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: I have to figure out a way we get a

123
00:06:00,640 –> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: road trip and do a DTK.

124
00:06:02,240 –> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 3: I’d love to go to Scandinavia too. That’d be great.

125
00:06:04,880 –> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 3: I think we should go.

126
00:06:05,839 –> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: My wife’s Swede, so she wants to go to Sweden. Perfect.

127
00:06:08,240 –> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: We’ll do an on location show. We heard from Richie

128
00:06:11,360 –> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: from Jamesport, Missouri. Ever been to james Port?

129
00:06:14,160 –> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: Not been to Jamesport. I know of it, but have

130
00:06:17,400 –> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: not been to Jamesport.

131
00:06:18,360 –> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, we’ll have to get there too. Then lastly,

132
00:06:20,720 –> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 3: Jordan from Lake Worth, Florida, shout out to you, Jordan. Yeah,

133
00:06:24,240 –> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 3: that’s all I got.

134
00:06:25,160 –> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: Fantastic Duncan, Oklahoma. My wife’s first cousin and this is

135
00:06:30,279 –> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: a sad story which I’ll state had a plane crash.

136
00:06:32,480 –> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 2: We’ve talked about that and.

137
00:06:35,000 –> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: There was a young man in there from Duncan, Oklahoma

138
00:06:37,000 –> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: was on that team that perished in that crash along

139
00:06:38,839 –> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: with my wife’s first cousin. But Duncan, Oklahoma, there’s there

140
00:06:41,920 –> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: has been in the years since, has paid tribute to

141
00:06:45,440 –> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: that young man and his family still represented there. So

142
00:06:48,360 –> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: when Duncan, Oklahoma comes up, that flashes up there. But anyway,

143
00:06:51,920 –> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: great community. They’re in the Sooner State and we are

144
00:06:55,560 –> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: gaining more fans there all the time. And a big

145
00:06:58,440 –> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: shout out on thanks to Creed Humphrey speaking of Sooner

146
00:07:00,800 –> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: State from Shawnee, Oklahoma. He was part of our Home

147
00:07:04,640 –> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: on the Range celebration in Smith’s Center. It was epic,

148
00:07:07,400 –> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: So was Trey Smith, three time veteran. Echo Boido was

149
00:07:10,640 –> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: there for a while, so was Felix and Yudikia Ozama.

150
00:07:13,120 –> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: But Creed Humphrey is just so is Trey and all

151
00:07:19,440 –> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: those guys. But those two in particular, our center and

152
00:07:21,720 –> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: right guard, are amazing human beings. And to see them

153
00:07:24,680 –> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: relate to our entire kingdom and when you take them

154
00:07:27,800 –> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: to rural America and of course it resonates with both

155
00:07:31,080 –> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: those guys and the kids, and the way they respond

156
00:07:34,880 –> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: to them was magnificent.

157
00:07:36,440 –> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: And it gets back to the draft because we found

158
00:07:38,920 –> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: both of those guys beyond round one, right, you think

159
00:07:41,400 –> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: about the twenty twenty one draft. There was a mandate

160
00:07:44,760 –> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: in the Kingdom about kind of rebuilding the offensive line

161
00:07:47,560 –> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: after Super Bowl fifty five, and how do you do that?

162
00:07:50,760 –> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: Will you find great players in the draft, And the

163
00:07:52,920 –> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: Chiefs did that, finding Creed Humphrey in the second round

164
00:07:55,960 –> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: than Trey Smith in the sixth round. I mean, it’s

165
00:07:58,720 –> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: just a testament Brett Veach and his staff that they

166
00:08:01,560 –> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: can find these guys, they can develop them and turn

167
00:08:03,800 –> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: them into Pro Bowl players. And of course, as you

168
00:08:07,240 –> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 3: laid out, also awesome guys off the field.

169
00:08:09,760 –> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: You mentioned the all too soon mock draft that’ll come

170
00:08:12,240 –> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: out May one for twenty twenty five.

171
00:08:14,120 –> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: There’s also the redraft. Yeah.

172
00:08:15,880 –> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: I likedraft.

173
00:08:16,760 –> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: Yeah that comes out like three years after the draft,

174
00:08:19,840 –> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: and it was great to see Trey Smith, who was

175
00:08:21,680 –> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: redrafted in the first round after the Chiefs took him

176
00:08:24,640 –> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: in the sixth round. In many ways, people think of

177
00:08:27,640 –> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: Trey Smith if you look in the last four.

178
00:08:29,280 –> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: Years of the draft, he is the best value of.

179
00:08:32,040 –> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: Any pick in the NFL draft during that span. I’ve

180
00:08:34,800 –> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: seen that opinion.

181
00:08:35,920 –> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: Given, Wow, we probably had three guys in the first

182
00:08:38,080 –> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: round in that redraft, right with Bolton, Creed and Trey. Yeah,

183
00:08:42,400 –> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 3: we didn’t have a first round pick that year and

184
00:08:44,000 –> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: got three first round picks.

185
00:08:45,200 –> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: Not bad, which speaks to which speaks to this personnel

186
00:08:48,840 –> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: staff and general manager Brett Veach because that has Brett

187
00:08:51,960 –> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: Veach all over it. And Brett had a media session

188
00:08:55,640 –> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: a week ago. But I thought there was some I

189
00:08:58,160 –> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: thought he was very candid. You know, he’s he’s so thorough,

190
00:09:01,679 –> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: he’s so purposed, he never stops. He’s much like Pat.

191
00:09:05,920 –> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: We were showing the video of Pat at the end

192
00:09:09,000 –> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: of Super Bowl fifty eight hugging Chris Jones and going,

193
00:09:11,559 –> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: You’re not going anywhere. You’ve seen this, Oh, yeah, you’re

194
00:09:13,920 –> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. We’re going for three in a row.

195
00:09:16,280 –> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: And that’s Brett Veach, Like the morning after the city

196
00:09:20,880 –> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: celebration this year and the year before, they’re in there

197
00:09:23,679 –> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: grinding at like seven. I showed it last year at

198
00:09:26,120 –> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: the kickoff luncheon.

199
00:09:27,520 –> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: I go, how did you.

200
00:09:28,080 –> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: Guys spend the day after the celebration. Here’s what Bett

201
00:09:30,240 –> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: Veach and his staff did. And they’re in their grinding

202
00:09:32,080 –> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: away up upstairs in the personnel area. But Brett Veach

203
00:09:39,040 –> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: is just he’s on task and on purpose, and so

204
00:09:41,760 –> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: is this group. That’s a couple of podcasts agoing defending

205
00:09:45,160 –> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: the Kingdom. But I thought he was very candid in

206
00:09:48,559 –> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: what he said about the twenty twenty four draft. It

207
00:09:51,400 –> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: didn’t seem like he was trying to play any games

208
00:09:53,800 –> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: and just kind of let it fly.

209
00:09:55,360 –> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, And to your point, those guys, Brett as the

210
00:09:58,960 –> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 3: leader of that group, all the scouts and front office people,

211
00:10:02,679 –> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: they are committed to the grind, to say the least.

212
00:10:05,240 –> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: And like you said on our last podcast, we talked

213
00:10:08,360 –> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: to a lot of our scouts in front office folks,

214
00:10:10,440 –> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: including Ryan Nutt, and he talked about how, you know,

215
00:10:14,080 –> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: they celebrated the Super Bowl, they got back to Kansas

216
00:10:16,440 –> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 3: City and the very next day they were grinding offensive

217
00:10:18,679 –> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: line tape. So those guys are committed NonStop to never

218
00:10:22,800 –> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 3: really stopping and smelling the roses. They’re always looking forward,

219
00:10:26,320 –> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: finding a way to make this team even better. And

220
00:10:29,320 –> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 3: part of that is the draft obviously evaluating who is

221
00:10:32,600 –> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 3: going to be the next group of chiefs in what

222
00:10:35,480 –> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: position groups are represent the biggest strengths in this year’s draft.

223
00:10:39,760 –> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 3: And Brett, as you said, is very candid about that

224
00:10:41,880 –> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: kind of thing. He talked through the areas and the

225
00:10:45,160 –> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 3: position groups he thought this draft was particularly strong in

226
00:10:48,080 –> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 3: and the context originally of being asked about the wide

227
00:10:50,880 –> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 3: receiver class this year, take a listen.

228
00:10:53,080 –> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 4: I think it’s one of the deeper classes. I think

229
00:10:57,000 –> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 4: the good thing about the wide receiver position this is

230
00:11:00,320 –> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 4: typically every year, is they provide depth really one through five,

231
00:11:04,240 –> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 4: and there’s always, you know, pockets of players. I think

232
00:11:08,000 –> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 4: there’s a large group of receivers in the first fifty picks.

233
00:11:11,360 –> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: I think that we have great grades on and then

234
00:11:13,120 –> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 4: I think there’s another pocket right right behind that. I

235
00:11:15,240 –> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 4: think that is a positive. I think, you know, corner,

236
00:11:18,880 –> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 4: there’s some some depth you know, middle to later on

237
00:11:22,440 –> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 4: in the draft. O Linemen As I mentioned the opener,

238
00:11:27,200 –> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 4: it’s it’s really good early and so they’ll be a

239
00:11:30,280 –> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 4: late run on those guys, but it tails off a

240
00:11:33,280 –> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 4: little bit. I think it’s a better defensive line class

241
00:11:35,520 –> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 4: than we’ve seen in the past. I think there’s some

242
00:11:37,360 –> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 4: good mid round depth there, you know, linebacker, running running backs,

243
00:11:41,559 –> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: probably a little lighter uh than years past. So I

244
00:11:46,440 –> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 4: think O line, receivers, corners are are good hot spots

245
00:11:51,480 –> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 4: throughout the draft. And that’s a good thing because we

246
00:11:53,760 –> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 4: can use one of each of those that.

247
00:11:56,160 –> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 3: It’s just the best. Because a lot of general managers,

248
00:11:58,360 –> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 3: you’ll ask them that question and they’ll give you just

249
00:12:00,400 –> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of nothing. Bratt will just tell you, like, yeah,

250
00:12:03,080 –> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: wide receivers good. Offensive line is good early, corner D

251
00:12:06,120 –> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 3: line pretty good. Running back, linebacker not so much. It’s like,

252
00:12:08,920 –> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: all right, that was my question and you answered it.

253
00:12:11,240 –> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: And speaking of opinion, many think this just came out

254
00:12:14,040 –> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours. Some think it’s the

255
00:12:15,920 –> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: best wide receiver class ever for the twenty twenty four

256
00:12:20,520 –> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: draft class. I think there’s some dynamics that come into

257
00:12:24,520 –> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: play now, and we’ve seen football kind of evolve over

258
00:12:27,800 –> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: the last several years in this regard. Your best athlete

259
00:12:30,480 –> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: in high school normally is the quarterback. That quarterback many

260
00:12:34,120 –> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: times will either transfer or that translates to that if

261
00:12:37,800 –> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: they play college football to being a wide receiver. They

262
00:12:41,040 –> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: don’t always stay at quarterback. There’s only one quarterback. But

263
00:12:43,480 –> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: now in these offenses there’s four wide and five wide,

264
00:12:46,160 –> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: so there’s more room at receiver. So they the best

265
00:12:48,840 –> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: athletes many times will then go to receiver. Sometimes the

266
00:12:52,040 –> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: wide receivers will go to defensive back. We’ve talked about

267
00:12:54,840 –> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: that before, but all of a sudden, now with not

268
00:12:57,200 –> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: only the offenses that teams are playing two kind of

269
00:13:00,960 –> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: the matriculation of how this works, we’re seeing a glut

270
00:13:04,800 –> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: of wide receivers, particularly this year. Now we know the

271
00:13:07,200 –> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: guys at the top of the board won’t be there

272
00:13:09,000 –> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: at thirty two, right Marvin Harrison Junior, a Romaduze going

273
00:13:13,160 –> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: right down the line, neighbors those guys won’t be there.

274
00:13:16,080 –> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: But but you and I have both looked at this.

275
00:13:20,520 –> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: At thirty two, if you stay there and don’t move

276
00:13:22,880 –> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: up or down, a definition of a thirty second pick

277
00:13:26,720 –> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: would be.

278
00:13:27,240 –> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: A day one starter. That means you hit it.

279
00:13:30,480 –> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: That person has been able to morph into your system,

280
00:13:34,120 –> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: and if there is a it feels like to me

281
00:13:37,440 –> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: that there are Day one starters at wide receiver that

282
00:13:39,640 –> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: will be available at thirty two.

283
00:13:41,200 –> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: Pretty remarkable. It lined up well where the Chiefs admittedly

284
00:13:45,960 –> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: could use some depth at wide receiver, and this maybe

285
00:13:48,880 –> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 3: is the greatest wide receiver class in the last ten years.

286
00:13:51,480 –> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: At least, there are players that will be available at

287
00:13:54,160 –> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 3: receiver at thirty two or maybe even in the second

288
00:13:56,679 –> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 3: round that probably would be top twenty picks in years past.

289
00:14:00,440 –> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: And like Xavier Worthy is. When I think about Xavier

290
00:14:03,040 –> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 3: Worthy ran the fastest forty time in the history of

291
00:14:05,440 –> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: the combine, he might not be taken in the first round.

292
00:14:08,880 –> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 3: In years past, he’d probably be a top fifteen pick.

293
00:14:11,360 –> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: He’d probably be the third best wide receiver on the board.

294
00:14:13,480 –> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 3: This year, I don’t know. I don’t know where Xavier

295
00:14:15,800 –> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 3: Worthy is going to go. And it goes to show

296
00:14:17,840 –> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: that there is a lot of talent at wide receiver

297
00:14:19,920 –> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 3: this year, a lot of different directions the Chiefs can go.

298
00:14:22,480 –> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 3: If they want to go wide receiver, they can try

299
00:14:24,200 –> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: to take one at thirty two, or like Brett mentioned,

300
00:14:26,560 –> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: there’s good depth there in the second and third round

301
00:14:29,120 –> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: as well. They could even take multiple wide receivers. For

302
00:14:31,400 –> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: all we know, so a lot of depth at wide

303
00:14:33,120 –> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: receiver this year. That’s very exciting. If you’re a Chiefs fan.

304
00:14:35,640 –> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: If you haven’t seen the episode where we and you

305
00:14:38,160 –> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: were able to talk with the scouts at the combine,

306
00:14:40,840 –> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: it’s almost like a prerequisite of looking at this episode,

307
00:14:44,200 –> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: so you might pause and go back and find it,

308
00:14:46,480 –> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: because this is where the discussion at wide receiver at

309
00:14:50,160 –> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: thirty two really comes into play. Here’s why, let’s talk

310
00:14:53,200 –> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: about a checklist that that wide receiver if they’re going

311
00:14:56,200 –> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: to be a Day one starter on that Thursday night

312
00:14:58,360 –> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: where we open the entire NFL schedule. We have seen

313
00:15:01,320 –> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: this now with eleven years with Andy Reid, especially the

314
00:15:04,320 –> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: guys that he knows he’s got to get up and

315
00:15:06,080 –> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: ready to go. You will celebrate your draft selection on

316
00:15:09,800 –> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: that night, maybe for a couple nights, but the next

317
00:15:13,600 –> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: week your life changes because you’re getting CALC one, two

318
00:15:17,240 –> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: and three.

319
00:15:18,320 –> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 2: There is so.

320
00:15:18,920 –> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: Much we saw this last year with Russia Rice. So

321
00:15:21,880 –> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: much is put on your plate right away. Coach wants

322
00:15:24,040 –> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: to have it there, he wants to see how you

323
00:15:25,360 –> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: can process it. Plus, remember Rashi, I don’t think he

324
00:15:29,360 –> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: had a virus last year during rookie Mini camp because

325
00:15:32,760 –> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: he was just running, running, running, running, running, and was like,

326
00:15:34,960 –> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, where am I at?

327
00:15:37,480 –> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: Okay.

328
00:15:38,320 –> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: The other thing is we’ve talked about this before. Who

329
00:15:41,080 –> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: has the acumen and understanding to learn all of the

330
00:15:44,120 –> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: receiver positions? Coach will ask you to learn three languages

331
00:15:48,520 –> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: all at once, meaning you’re going to learn German, English,

332
00:15:52,040 –> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: and Spanish all in one fell swoop. You need to

333
00:15:55,800 –> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: play the slot, You need to play the ex receiver

334
00:15:57,960 –> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage. You need to play the

335
00:15:59,640 –> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: Z a flanker position a yard off the line of scrimmage.

336
00:16:02,640 –> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: Who’s the slot guy?

337
00:16:03,560 –> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: Motion guy? Can you understand and read a defense? Many

338
00:16:06,440 –> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: of these are choice routes? Can you play with Patrick Mahomes?

339
00:16:10,160 –> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: All of this we saw come into focus for Rashie

340
00:16:13,600 –> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: Reich last year really hit kind of after Germany is

341
00:16:17,440 –> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: when it hit. But whomever, if it is a receiver’s

342
00:16:20,640 –> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: picked at thirty two in your selection and your evaluation,

343
00:16:25,640 –> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: those boxes have to be checked off. And what excites

344
00:16:28,800 –> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: me is I see those guys potentially in this draft.

345
00:16:32,920 –> 00:16:36,239
Speaker 3: It’s exciting. And you have to have the physical traits

346
00:16:36,520 –> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: like the size and the speed and the catch radius

347
00:16:39,440 –> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 3: and all that, but you also have to be able

348
00:16:40,920 –> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 3: to process information very quickly and accept a whole bunch

349
00:16:43,800 –> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 3: of different jobs in the offense. And coach Rey does

350
00:16:46,760 –> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: not make it easy. That’s why it’s not easy to

351
00:16:48,560 –> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 3: play receiver in Kansas City. But there are a lot

352
00:16:50,960 –> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 3: of players once again in this year’s draft, could be

353
00:16:53,360 –> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 3: on Day one, could be on Day two at the

354
00:16:55,320 –> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: receiver position. We’ll talk about some here in a little

355
00:16:57,880 –> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: bit who could make a lot of sense.

356
00:17:00,040 –> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

357
00:17:00,240 –> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: The second part of Brett’s discussion is, and we’ve seen

358
00:17:02,880 –> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: him do this, if he wants to move down, he’ll

359
00:17:05,680 –> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: move down. Chris Jones comes to mind, that’s prior to him.

360
00:17:09,480 –> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: But the point is the Chiefs have been able to

361
00:17:10,960 –> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: move down, move up, see what they get move up.

362
00:17:13,840 –> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie comes to mind, his exhibits here. The reality

363
00:17:16,840 –> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: here is who’s going to be.

364
00:17:18,440 –> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: A draft partner. Yeah, this is a very real thing.

365
00:17:20,760 –> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: People are going to joke about it, maybe with your buddies,

366
00:17:24,520 –> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: but it’s a very real thing. And the fact that

367
00:17:27,400 –> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: if you have said this, your list of teams you

368
00:17:30,880 –> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: can trade with are probably reduced to a really secure

369
00:17:34,600 –> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: general manager in the NFC who’s willing.

370
00:17:36,560 –> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: To trade with you.

371
00:17:37,720 –> 00:17:42,239
Speaker 1: San Francisco and Philadelphia don’t like us much, okay, And

372
00:17:42,359 –> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: John Lynch and Howie Roseman mate say not so much

373
00:17:46,359 –> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: AFC teams because there’s an immediate pr hit. If you’re

374
00:17:51,080 –> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: that GM, you can’t wait three years to see if

375
00:17:53,800 –> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: it pans out immediately. Why are you helping those guys?

376
00:17:56,880 –> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: You trying to get him a three peat which has

377
00:17:58,680 –> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: never happened.

378
00:17:59,560 –> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 3: It’s like the Ravens traded Orlando Brown junior tests and

379
00:18:02,240 –> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 3: I think there were people around the league like, what

380
00:18:04,400 –> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 3: are you doing? Why would you help them? And I

381
00:18:06,880 –> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: think that’s really come to fruition Now. Brett has even

382
00:18:09,560 –> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 3: talked about it where there’s like a premium to be paid,

383
00:18:12,080 –> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 3: like if the Bengals are going to trade with us, okay,

384
00:18:14,640 –> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: they’re going to make us pay a little bit more

385
00:18:16,400 –> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 3: than if the Cardinals were trading with them. And I

386
00:18:18,520 –> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: get it. I mean that’s fair.

387
00:18:20,280 –> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 2: Uh.

388
00:18:20,800 –> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 3: From pick twenty two to twenty seven, those are all

389
00:18:23,720 –> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: NFC teams. If the Chiefs want to trade up, that

390
00:18:27,320 –> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 3: could maybe be the zone.

391
00:18:29,000 –> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: And like you, that’s manageable from an equity standpoint, because yeah,

392
00:18:32,680 –> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: don’t be unrealistic. Here go up to fifteen and grah

393
00:18:35,760 –> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: that doesn’t you have to give up so much equity?

394
00:18:38,119 –> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: And remember we just laid out that you need it

395
00:18:40,560 –> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: all counts. You need a good draft class here, not

396
00:18:43,760 –> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: just one pick.

397
00:18:44,560 –> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 3: I was on the radio earlier today and they asked

398
00:18:46,280 –> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: if I would trade up to like seven overall to

399
00:18:49,040 –> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: get brock Bowers. And on one end, of course, I’d

400
00:18:51,640 –> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: love to have brock Bowers in the Chiefs one hundred percent.

401
00:18:54,200 –> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 3: But on the other that equity can be spread out

402
00:18:57,640 –> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 3: among so many other players where if you trade up

403
00:19:01,200 –> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: to seven overall, you’re not getting Brian Cook, you’re not

404
00:19:05,080 –> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 3: getting Joshua Williams and Jalen wattson all those pieces that

405
00:19:08,200 –> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 3: come together to make a champion. So with all that

406
00:19:11,680 –> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: in mind, of course, trading up is the most exciting

407
00:19:14,560 –> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 3: thing to do. On Draft night, Brett was asked about

408
00:19:17,200 –> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: that very topic. What’s the likelihood he’s going to trade

409
00:19:20,400 –> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 3: up on Thursday night and what will it take?

410
00:19:22,520 –> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it’s just kind of you know, weighing the options.

411
00:19:25,520 –> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 4: And on one end, there’s probably you know, I think

412
00:19:29,040 –> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 4: there’s sixteen eighteen guys this year that we have as

413
00:19:31,440 –> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 4: first round grades. The factor in some quarterbacks there, so

414
00:19:34,960 –> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 4: you know, and then so maybe some teams that go

415
00:19:38,880 –> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 4: in different directions that are contradictory to what our board has.

416
00:19:42,440 –> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 3: So you figure.

417
00:19:43,000 –> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 4: Sixteen to eighteen names, four quarterbacks, maybe five quarterbacks. I mean,

418
00:19:47,240 –> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 4: there could be a window there where we have an

419
00:19:49,080 –> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 4: opportunity to get a guy, and then it’s just weighing,

420
00:19:51,160 –> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 4: you know, the cost, because if it is a corner

421
00:19:54,720 –> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 4: or an old lineman or you know, receiver, you know

422
00:19:58,520 –> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 4: we’re probably going to give up the opportun comunity to

423
00:20:00,400 –> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 4: draft that other position later in the draft. So is

424
00:20:06,560 –> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 4: you know, one guy that you have first round grade

425
00:20:08,760 –> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 4: on better than two guys that you maybe have second,

426
00:20:10,960 –> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 4: third round grades on. It’s just kind of weighing that

427
00:20:12,920 –> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 4: formula for us. And you know, I think that’s where

428
00:20:15,119 –> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 4: it comes down to, just you know the value of

429
00:20:18,240 –> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 4: that guy that that falls, and if he’s one of

430
00:20:21,160 –> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 4: those guys that you really have as the top ten,

431
00:20:22,880 –> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 4: top twelve pick, I think you up and do it.

432
00:20:24,760 –> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 4: Like Trent McDuffie’s situation, I think if it’s one of

433
00:20:27,160 –> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 4: those guys, I think we will certainly be aggressive and

434
00:20:29,080 –> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 4: hopefully we can find a trading partner. But I also

435
00:20:31,359 –> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 4: think there’s some depth in round two there, So you know,

436
00:20:35,240 –> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 4: I do think there’s opportunities to add players that come

437
00:20:39,600 –> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 4: in and push for starting positions in rounds two and.

438
00:20:41,400 –> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: Three as well. All right, well, there you have it.

439
00:20:43,359 –> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 3: Brett answered earlier in the press conference about how, of

440
00:20:46,480 –> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 3: course he would love to trade up high in the draft.

441
00:20:49,480 –> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 3: Of course there’s these players he would love to acquire,

442
00:20:51,440 –> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 3: but you have to weigh different things. You have to

443
00:20:54,440 –> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: first have a player that’s worthy of trading up for,

444
00:20:57,480 –> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 3: and that player has to probably be sliding right, So

445
00:20:59,760 –> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 3: you have to kind of react in the moment the

446
00:21:01,760 –> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 3: board comes to you, like, here’s a player that we

447
00:21:04,040 –> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 3: thought would be taken earlier. Trent McDuffie’s a great example

448
00:21:06,680 –> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: of that, because Trent was still there. I picked number

449
00:21:09,800 –> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 3: twenty one. Overall, the Chiefs trade up from twenty nine

450
00:21:12,160 –> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: to twenty one. They get Trent worked out really well.

451
00:21:15,040 –> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 3: So you have to have that component, but also the

452
00:21:17,040 –> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: trading partner, and that’s the difficult part nowadays. There was

453
00:21:20,200 –> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 3: reports out there last year that she’s attempted to trade

454
00:21:22,680 –> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 3: up in the first round. Nobody wanted to trade with us,

455
00:21:24,960 –> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: and I get it, why would you want to help

456
00:21:26,520 –> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 3: the eventual two time back to back Super Bowl champion.

457
00:21:30,080 –> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 3: So it takes two to tango. We’ll see if the

458
00:21:31,640 –> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 3: Chiefs trade up at all on Thursday. I think if

459
00:21:33,960 –> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 3: they stay where they are, they’re still going to get

460
00:21:35,600 –> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 3: a very good player. But we’ll see how the board falls.

461
00:21:37,680 –> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: How many times do you or ally get a call

462
00:21:39,400 –> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 2: and you’re like.

463
00:21:39,880 –> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 3: Ooh no, no, frequently I get tons of robo calls, robo.

464
00:21:43,880 –> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: Calls every night, or somebody You’re like, I don’t want

465
00:21:46,080 –> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: to talk to them right.

466
00:21:46,880 –> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 3: Now, and it’s like marked as spam, you know.

467
00:21:50,240 –> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: So imagine the other thirty one teams were marked a

468
00:21:53,840 –> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: spam beach.

469
00:21:55,600 –> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 2: It’s beach spam. Veach is spam, it’s veach? Is that said?

470
00:22:00,240 –> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: AI, I don’t know, don’t take it, don’t take it.

471
00:22:01,880 –> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: It’s veeech’s feech. Don’t answer the call. So we’ll just

472
00:22:04,960 –> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: see how this dynamic can work out. It’s an interesting

473
00:22:07,840 –> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: point that there are potential trade putters at twenty two

474
00:22:10,400 –> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: to twenty seven, because maybe he’ll see it and move up.

475
00:22:13,720 –> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: And keep in mind the dynamic of the draft. When

476
00:22:16,080 –> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie became available at twenty one, there were runs

477
00:22:19,680 –> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: and pushes that could happen in this very draft as well.

478
00:22:23,280 –> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: Everybody anticipates probably will happen. A big push early at quarterback.

479
00:22:27,560 –> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: Everybody’s looking for the next Patrick Mahomes. Then there will

480
00:22:30,440 –> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 1: be a push for those top wide receivers I mentioned earlier,

481
00:22:33,400 –> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: three or four, five, and then even before that there

482
00:22:36,720 –> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: could be the three or five or more offensive tackles

483
00:22:40,920 –> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: who would be Day one starters and potential Pro bowlers.

484
00:22:43,840 –> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: So you’re going to have runs here, and we’ll get

485
00:22:46,600 –> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: to position groups here in a second, but that run

486
00:22:49,560 –> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: could precipitate.

487
00:22:52,160 –> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 2: It’s each on the phone.

488
00:22:53,920 –> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 3: And we can do as many mock drafts as we want.

489
00:22:56,040 –> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 3: The board will never fall the way that we expect

490
00:22:58,040 –> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 3: it to, and the chiefs acknowledge that that it’s gonna be.

491
00:23:02,160 –> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 3: There’s gonna be surprises and maybe I don’t know, like

492
00:23:05,720 –> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 3: eight or nine tackles go in the first round. Well,

493
00:23:07,760 –> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 3: we didn’t see that coming, but that means that maybe

494
00:23:09,560 –> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 3: a couple receivers that we thought would be gone are

495
00:23:12,080 –> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 3: there and or vice versa. Let’s say nine receivers go.

496
00:23:15,960 –> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: That would be a NFL record for the first round.

497
00:23:18,480 –> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 3: But that means maybe one of those premium tackles is

498
00:23:20,720 –> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 3: now there in the mid twenties, so you trade up,

499
00:23:23,040 –> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 3: or maybe they even fall the thirty two. That’s the

500
00:23:25,240 –> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 3: fun of the draft. You see how it unfolds because

501
00:23:27,359 –> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 3: every team has their own board. Every team predicts how

502
00:23:30,600 –> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 3: things are going to go, but no one knows what’s

503
00:23:32,440 –> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 3: really going to happen. That’s why no one can predict

504
00:23:34,480 –> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 3: this with one hundred percent accuracy. And the Chiefs are

505
00:23:37,640 –> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 3: in a great position where I don’t think they have

506
00:23:41,000 –> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: a spot on the roster where it’s like we have

507
00:23:43,119 –> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: to do this in round one. I think the Chiefs

508
00:23:45,560 –> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: have the benefit right now. They can let the board

509
00:23:47,560 –> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: fall to them. Let’s see what happens. They’re going to

510
00:23:49,800 –> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 3: get a really good player at thirty two overall, and

511
00:23:52,080 –> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 3: if there’s a guy that slides that they really are

512
00:23:53,960 –> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: in love with, maybe you move up into the mid

513
00:23:55,800 –> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 3: twenties for them. But it’s a great spot to be

514
00:23:58,119 –> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 3: the back to back defending champion with an opportunity to

515
00:24:01,160 –> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: get better, but not a situation where you have to

516
00:24:03,640 –> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: fill a need right now.

517
00:24:04,600 –> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: And keep that thought.

518
00:24:05,440 –> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: We’ll get to that after this comment from Brett Veach,

519
00:24:08,640 –> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: which deals with we have done such a good job

520
00:24:11,320 –> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: of building this roster, and many times it’s done even

521
00:24:15,000 –> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: with someone who’s not been drafted. Eco Boido shows up

522
00:24:17,440 –> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: for a tryout and makes the team and downs the

523
00:24:19,400 –> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: punt at the one against New England. And we’ve been

524
00:24:22,720 –> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: through all that a couple of episodes ago. But building

525
00:24:26,560 –> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: the board, and I think we take great pride in

526
00:24:29,680 –> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: that for the Chiefs, and let’s give credit to to

527
00:24:32,560 –> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens. The Ravens seem to have done this for years.

528
00:24:35,160 –> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: But when you build the board, it’s also having the

529
00:24:38,240 –> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: magic of now the draft’s over, but who can we

530
00:24:41,680 –> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: find to either one right away make the squad. Jack

531
00:24:45,240 –> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: Cochran comes to mind, or two a developmental player who

532
00:24:49,280 –> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: you put in the crock pot and they become a

533
00:24:51,320 –> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: player a year or two into your system.

534
00:24:53,160 –> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 3: And Nick Jacobs from forty one asked Brett directly how

535
00:24:56,400 –> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 3: many players are on your board? And when you first

536
00:24:59,480 –> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 3: think about that draft board, you may think, well, it’s

537
00:25:01,440 –> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: just because those are players that they might draft, But

538
00:25:04,480 –> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 3: it goes hand in hand with what you’re talking about.

539
00:25:06,640 –> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 3: As Brett’s about to mention, he’ll use this expansive draft

540
00:25:10,600 –> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 3: board that will then turn into a free agency board

541
00:25:13,160 –> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 3: as soon as the draft ends.

542
00:25:15,119 –> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 4: I wrote that down. I knew someone was gonna ask

543
00:25:16,600 –> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 4: me that, because I never know I just see a

544
00:25:18,840 –> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 4: bunch of names up there. I don’t like count them.

545
00:25:22,000 –> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 4: My sort of just move them around and I have

546
00:25:23,640 –> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 4: them in like pockets. But I was walking in here,

547
00:25:28,600 –> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 4: I said, someone’s gonna ask me exactly how many guys

548
00:25:30,320 –> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 4: I have on the board. So it’s two twenty one,

549
00:25:32,400 –> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 4: which is a lot. But you’d have to come in

550
00:25:36,200 –> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 4: here and be with me one day to see how

551
00:25:37,760 –> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 4: I process this, because like, I have guys in the

552
00:25:40,840 –> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 4: sixth or seventh round on my board, but I always

553
00:25:43,800 –> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 4: know that we’ll never get to the sixth and seventh round.

554
00:25:46,000 –> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 4: So the total number of boards, a total number of

555
00:25:49,040 –> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 4: players on the board to twenty one. But in my mind,

556
00:25:52,040 –> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 4: there’s kind of like a line right there, and those

557
00:25:53,960 –> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 4: guys in six and seven we keep on the board

558
00:25:56,800 –> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 4: because that’s where I want to work Doun on free agency,

559
00:25:58,960 –> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 4: and so I know where I’m going. When as soon

560
00:26:01,160 –> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 4: as he drafts over the guys that we had on

561
00:26:03,640 –> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 4: the board at six to seven, again, we’ll have plenty

562
00:26:05,840 –> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 4: of numbers.

563
00:26:06,200 –> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: We’ll never get to him.

564
00:26:07,119 –> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 4: But that’s my free agency board and that’s kind of

565
00:26:09,040 –> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 4: how we work through that.

566
00:26:10,760 –> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 3: So pretty cool. It seems like an obvious thing to do,

567
00:26:13,720 –> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 3: But the reality is a lot of front offices around

568
00:26:15,920 –> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: the NFL do not put the effort in on these

569
00:26:20,560 –> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 3: seventh round to priority free agent range kind of players.

570
00:26:25,240 –> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: They just don’t do it. They put a lot of

571
00:26:27,000 –> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: effort into the first part of the draft, and then

572
00:26:30,280 –> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 3: it takes people who do not want to do anything

573
00:26:34,119 –> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 3: else but sit in a room and watch tape. It’s hard,

574
00:26:37,200 –> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 3: but it’s really just a human will thing. And the

575
00:26:39,760 –> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 3: Chiefs have these people. I’ve asked Bread about it. He’s like,

576
00:26:42,640 –> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 3: we just really really drill in on these players in

577
00:26:46,480 –> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 3: the latter half of the draft and the priority of

578
00:26:48,520 –> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 3: free agents. And you mentioned Jack Cochrane. Mike Caliendo is

579
00:26:52,040 –> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 3: another one, a player that has a chance to contribute

580
00:26:55,040 –> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 3: to this team.

581
00:26:55,520 –> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 5: This year and could be the new Nick Kellergreta. He

582
00:26:57,640 –> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 5: could be, Yeah, he could be that sixth man offense.

583
00:27:00,440 –> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 5: And he’s a UDFA out of Western Michigan and he’s

584
00:27:02,800 –> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 5: versatile exactly. Tshaum Wharton is one of the great examples

585
00:27:06,600 –> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 5: of this over the years, at UDFA from Missouri S

586
00:27:09,680 –> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 5: and T several years ago, and of course has been

587
00:27:11,520 –> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 5: a major contributor for this team. Tommy Townsend was this

588
00:27:14,160 –> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 5: team’s punter for a handful of years Udfa. You mentioned

589
00:27:17,160 –> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 5: Echo Boido and Jack Cochran. Like I said earlier, so

590
00:27:20,200 –> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 5: the Chiefs have been really good about finding these players. Well,

591
00:27:22,920 –> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 5: how do they do it. They’re on their draft board,

592
00:27:25,960 –> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 5: ranked in a way where they can see the value

593
00:27:28,359 –> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 5: and they can go down the list immediately start calling

594
00:27:30,840 –> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 5: guys as soon as the draft ends. Here are the

595
00:27:32,520 –> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 5: guys that we want. Here are the players that we

596
00:27:34,119 –> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 5: would draft if the draft went twelve rounds. It’s really genius.

597
00:27:37,760 –> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 5: And again it seems obvious, but a lot of teams

598
00:27:39,800 –> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 5: don’t do that, and the Chiefs do.

599
00:27:41,320 –> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: And why wouldn’t you want to come to be a Chief?

600
00:27:43,240 –> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: And two, this goes back to our previous episode with

601
00:27:46,119 –> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: the agents.

602
00:27:47,200 –> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: I’m sorry with the scouts.

603
00:27:48,800 –> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: Those guys develop relationships early, early on with these guys,

604
00:27:53,480 –> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: and so many times there’s a conduit already built. It’s

605
00:27:56,000 –> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: college recruiting, it becomes college recruiting, and then you get

606
00:27:59,600 –> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: the walk on if you will, as you alluded to.

607
00:28:04,280 –> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: But you can also give these guys some money, right,

608
00:28:06,800 –> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 1: there’s some money involved in this to recruit them. And

609
00:28:09,520 –> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: so the Chiefs have done an excellent job of it,

610
00:28:12,720 –> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: and quite honestly, it’s a goal of having won two

611
00:28:15,720 –> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: or three that make your roster every year, hopefully two

612
00:28:20,000 –> 00:28:23,239
Speaker 1: that become players. I mean they’re helping you win that

613
00:28:23,280 –> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: Thursday night game.

614
00:28:24,600 –> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 3: And you sign maybe fifteen to twenty udfas immediately after

615
00:28:29,280 –> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 3: the draft, and then you have like forty five guys

616
00:28:32,320 –> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 3: who you extend tryout opportunities to and next weekend at

617
00:28:36,920 –> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 3: rookie minti camp. It’s amazing. I mean it’s guys doubling

618
00:28:40,320 –> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 3: up on numbers. There’s just like fifty guys out there,

619
00:28:44,400 –> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 3: and we have this roster. We don’t know three quarters

620
00:28:47,280 –> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 3: of them. We learn about them that day, and the

621
00:28:49,920 –> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: vast majority are tryout players. So the Chiefs first round

622
00:28:53,840 –> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: pick will be out there, and their second round pick

623
00:28:55,600 –> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: and the rest of their drafted players, the udfas will

624
00:28:57,840 –> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 3: be out there, and then all these tryout guys in

625
00:29:00,840 –> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 3: every time, one or two of the tryout guys of

626
00:29:04,080 –> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 3: these forty players that don’t have any commitment from the

627
00:29:06,960 –> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 3: Chiefs beyond that weekend end up getting signed. And Echo

628
00:29:09,920 –> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 3: Boido was that guy. Last year, Echo Boido was invited

629
00:29:14,520 –> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 3: to Chiefs rookie Mini camp and he showed the Chiefs

630
00:29:17,440 –> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: some things and earned a contract, and then of course

631
00:29:19,600 –> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 3: he played for the Chiefs during the season. It’s a remarkable,

632
00:29:22,480 –> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 3: amazing story, but it goes to show all of the

633
00:29:25,880 –> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: work and effort that went into finding Echo Boydo pays

634
00:29:29,400 –> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: off when Echo Boydo makes a couple of plays on

635
00:29:31,360 –> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: special teams during the season. I mean, it’s not all

636
00:29:33,840 –> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 3: about fifty yard touchdowns and a giant sack on third down.

637
00:29:39,000 –> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 3: It’s about finding every player that can help you win

638
00:29:42,080 –> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: in any situation. And the Chiefs are committed to that

639
00:29:45,360 –> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 3: by not just nailing the first round, by also finding

640
00:29:48,520 –> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 3: who are we going to invite to rookie mini camp,

641
00:29:51,680 –> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: and then when we get those players there, which one

642
00:29:53,680 –> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 3: stood out? That’s really impressive to me.

643
00:29:56,480 –> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: An Echo Boido, who went back to k State spring practice,

644
00:29:59,440 –> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: went back as Super Bowl champion.

645
00:30:01,240 –> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: He’s getting bro hugs like, dude, you’re on the Super Bowl.

646
00:30:04,040 –> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: See pretty cool.

647
00:30:04,920 –> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: All right, let’s have some fun here as we close

648
00:30:06,840 –> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: out this addition of defending the Kingdom, and again it

649
00:30:10,920 –> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: all counts is the way we’re and we’ve laid it

650
00:30:14,320 –> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: out for you that it’s everything during the draft weekend

651
00:30:17,920 –> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: even a little bit past that. But let’s start with

652

Speaker 2: Who do you like? Who’ll be there at thirty two?

655
00:30:26,680 –> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: Who knows?

656
00:30:27,760 –> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: This is not coming from our scouting staff. All right,

657
00:30:31,600 –> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: that’s the first coveya. It’s like, oh well, Mitch and

658
00:30:33,480 –> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: Matt said it. Then you get us called into the

659
00:30:35,360 –> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: principal’s office. This is not giving out government secrets. The

664
00:30:48,880 –> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: I fell in love with Brian Cook in the pre

665
00:30:50,240 –> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: draft process.

666
00:30:50,840 –> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: And I go, we got him, You go, we got him. No,

667

668
00:30:56,120 –> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: my wife and she broke my heart like three times.

669
00:30:58,280 –> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: Like I thought this was the one. It’s like, hang

670
00:31:00,480 –> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: in there, hang in there. So don’t just don’t fall

671
00:31:04,720 –> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: in love with any one player, but let’s go with

672
00:31:06,480 –> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver.

673
00:31:07,160 –> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: Who do you think is there? Or who do you like?

674
00:31:08,800 –> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: Who’s your favorite player?

675
00:31:09,920 –> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: Okay, Mitch and I have not crossed notes beforehand, so

676
00:31:13,480 –> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 3: we’re just going into this. We’re gonna mention some players,

677
00:31:15,840 –> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 3: so this is a very obvious one. This is a

678
00:31:17,400 –> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 3: player that I’ve liked really the entire draft process. It’s

679
00:31:20,000 –> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 3: at Ni Mitchell from Texas. So ad Ni Mitchell six

680
00:31:22,960 –> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 3: foot two, two hundred and five pounds, fifty five catches

681
00:31:25,920 –> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 3: for eight hundred and forty five yards, eleven touchdowns last

682
00:31:28,720 –> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: year at Texas, just one drop in his last twenty games,

683
00:31:32,520 –> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 3: so he sure handed, good speed, ran a four to

684
00:31:34,920 –> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: three four forty. And this is one of my favorite

685
00:31:37,360 –> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 3: stats on him. He had an eighty one percent touchdown

686
00:31:41,000 –> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 3: or first down rate in twenty twenty three, so eighty

687
00:31:43,920 –> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 3: one percent of his catches went for either a first

688
00:31:46,720 –> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 3: down or a touchdown. That was the best rate of

689
00:31:49,120 –> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 3: any receiver in this class. And he’s interesting too because

690
00:31:52,600 –> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 3: he was at Georgia before going to Texas, so he

691
00:31:55,160 –> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 3: was a back to back national champion at Georgia. He

692
00:31:57,480 –> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 3: actually caught the go ahead touchdown in the two two

693
00:32:00,000 –> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 3: twenty one national championship game. And then transferred to Texas

694
00:32:04,720 –> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 3: his past year and was again just really productive and

695
00:32:07,200 –> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 3: really good and playing in the College Football Playoff again.

696
00:32:09,680 –> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: Fourteen touchdowns in his last eighteen starts. Ad Ni Mitchell

697
00:32:13,120 –> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 3: is an awesome player. A lot of weird stuff out

698
00:32:15,240 –> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 3: there over the last two weeks on ad Ni Mitchell.

699
00:32:17,760 –> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 3: This is how the draft works, where there’s so much

700
00:32:20,800 –> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 3: time beforehand that you can have a player that you

701
00:32:23,560 –> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 3: feel really good about and then like you know, like

702
00:32:26,080 –> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 3: the Bo Callahan stuff from a draft day where it’s like, well,

703
00:32:28,880 –> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 3: no one went to his birthday party. It’s weird stuff,

704
00:32:31,160 –> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 3: you know, It’s like whatever, both Adni Mitchell is a

705
00:32:34,120 –> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 3: player who might be there at thirty two, and I

706
00:32:35,720 –> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: would be thrilled that he was a chief.

707
00:32:37,320 –> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: Oh wife loves Draft dead. I don’t know why, but

708
00:32:39,360 –> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: she does. Okay, you know where I’m going with this one.

709
00:32:42,400 –> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it’s.

710
00:32:42,960 –> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: Xavierly get a South Carolina. First of all, he’s from

711
00:32:45,600 –> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: a small town in South Carolina, forty five hundred people

712
00:32:48,920 –> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: up in northeast South Carolina, so already near and dear

713
00:32:52,760 –> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: to my heart.

714
00:32:53,640 –> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: But this is Deebo Samuel of this draft. You watch

715
00:32:55,880 –> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: video of him.

716
00:32:56,520 –> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: What I like about him is he runs really good

717
00:32:59,400 –> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: routes at all three levels. This is a yards after

718
00:33:01,960 –> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: catch guy. This is a guy that four three nine,

719
00:33:05,560 –> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: So it’s not like he’s precluded from running a nine

720
00:33:08,480 –> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: router going past you. But most of his work, He’s

721
00:33:11,040 –> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: done much like Deebo Samuel So think red Zone.

722
00:33:13,200 –> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: Threat, think jet sweeps.

723
00:33:16,360 –> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: But here’s where I really am intrigued by him is

724
00:33:19,240 –> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: the fact that this guy, if you get Xavier Lagett,

725
00:33:22,040 –> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: don’t fall in love with them, Mitch, don’t fall in

726
00:33:23,560 –> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: love with them.

727
00:33:23,880 –> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 2: Don’t fall in love with them.

728
00:33:24,840 –> 00:33:28,479
Speaker 3: We always do this though he takes pressure off Travis Kelcey.

729
00:33:28,760 –> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: We think you have to get another tight end to

730
00:33:30,400 –> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: take Travis pressure off. Travis Kelcey, No, you get the

731
00:33:34,160 –> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: kind of right kind of We saw this last year

732
00:33:35,880 –> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: with Rashi Rice a bit, but.

733
00:33:37,200 –> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: You get Xavier Lgette.

734
00:33:38,520 –> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: Immediate pressure is taken off with Hollywood Brown and with

735
00:33:42,600 –> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: Xavier Lgette of taking pressure off Travis Kelcey. Now, I’m

736
00:33:46,040 –> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: disappointed in you because I thought I thought I knew the.

737
00:33:49,440 –> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: Guy you would pick. Okay, I think I was got

738
00:33:51,960 –> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 2: to take Jamary Thrash of Louisville. Okay, you know why why.

739
00:33:55,600 –> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: He was at Georgia State prior to being at Louisville,

740
00:33:58,560 –> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: and that was your fictition team. You won a national

741
00:34:01,120 –> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: championship playing the College Football fourteen game, and you won

742
00:34:04,600 –> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: the national title with Georgia State, and I thought you

743
00:34:06,480 –> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: had a somewhere.

744
00:34:07,320 –> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: Jimori Thrash was on your fictitious team.

745
00:34:09,719 –> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 3: We haven’t had a good incideb bel A fourteen reference

746
00:34:12,120 –> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 3: in a while. Mitch and I. If you’ve been watching

747
00:34:14,560 –> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 3: the show long enough, you know that what I’m about

748
00:34:16,840 –> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 3: to say. Mitch and I are religious players of Incidebla

749
00:34:19,920 –> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 3: Football fourteen on our old Xbox three sixties. You know

750
00:34:22,560 –> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 3: who that is?

751
00:34:23,040 –> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: For you?

752
00:34:23,480 –> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 3: That I always see him and I think of you Againstance, Well,

753
00:34:26,239 –> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 3: I think of River Craycraft.

754
00:34:28,719 –> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: He was in the minus twenty eight Windshield.

755
00:34:30,480 –> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah he was because Mitch had a dynasty with Washington State, right, Yeah,

756
00:34:35,000 –> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 3: we won the Pac twelve. Yeah, and Mitchell even have

757
00:34:37,120 –> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 3: like all the players’ names like imported and everything. And

758
00:34:39,640 –> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 3: River Craycraft was your guy. So whenever I see him,

759
00:34:42,200 –> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: I think of you, and I think of all the

760
00:34:44,080 –> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 3: national championships he wanted Washington State.

761
00:34:46,440 –> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: He had a fifteen year old catch against this in

762
00:34:48,320 –> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: the minus twenty eight Windshield game. What’s the first thing

763
00:34:50,800 –> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: I thought, I’ve did sit on the air, but I

764
00:34:52,560 –> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: thought that’s my guy.

765
00:34:53,640 –> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: Man. We got all the way to the Rose Bowl

766
00:34:55,040 –> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 2: with that guy. Anyway.

767
00:34:57,160 –> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: Pretty cool. I’ll take the next one. Let’s go to

768
00:34:59,080 –> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: corner because let’s talk globally here about corner. Yeah, that

769
00:35:02,160 –> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: could be the spot because corners. We talked about this

770
00:35:06,200 –> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: run and push and offensive tackles and wide receivers and quarterbacks.

771
00:35:10,120 –> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: Ooh, corners in there.

772
00:35:11,760 –> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: Now keep in mind, let’s go back to our checklist.

773
00:35:14,120 –> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: You need a SPAGS type corner. Yeah, and it’s not

774
00:35:16,719 –> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: just Hey, Lagarius Sneed was traded to the Titans need

00:35:23,800 –> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 2: Mode of this group. Now we can go.

778
00:35:27,880 –> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: You know, the kid from Toledo comes to mind that

779
00:35:30,640 –> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: comes in here. Ennis Rakestraw of Missouri is a guy

780
00:35:34,239 –> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 1: that will we’ll mix it up here. So uh, anyway,

781
00:35:38,000 –> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: corner could be there at thirty two and that could

782
00:35:40,000 –> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: be a Day one starter at corner.

783
00:35:41,480 –> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be. I would mention Nate Wiggins. Nate

784
00:35:44,160 –> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 3: Wiggins is a Class I like a lot. Yeah, he

785
00:35:46,840 –> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 3: ran a four to eight forty, only Xavier Worthy was

786
00:35:50,040 –> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 3: faster at the combine. So right on the surface, think

787
00:35:53,400 –> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: about how ste Spy Mellow likes using his corners. So

788
00:35:57,360 –> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 3: Lagerius Sneed began his career in the slot and was

789
00:36:01,040 –> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 3: just a menace in the slot. As a blitzer, he

790
00:36:04,200 –> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 3: led the NFL from the corner position in pressures for

791
00:36:07,080 –> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 3: a couple of years. Well, he then gets moved outside,

792
00:36:09,800 –> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 3: Trip McDuffie goes in that spot. Guess who led the

793
00:36:12,080 –> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 3: NFL and pressures among corners last year, Trip McDuffie. So

794
00:36:15,920 –> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 3: if you move Trip McDuffie outside, you put Nate Wiggins

795
00:36:19,360 –> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 3: in the slot. He has four two eight speed. Can

796
00:36:21,920 –> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 3: you imagine the havoc he could wreak from that spot.

797
00:36:24,280 –> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 3: So the speed alone is interesting. He was also productive

798
00:36:28,200 –> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 3: at Clemson, though beyond just like being a player who’s fast.

799
00:36:31,120 –> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: He had twenty five passes defensed over his last twenty

800
00:36:33,440 –> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 3: three games. He allowed just a forty four percent completion

801
00:36:36,520 –> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 3: percentage when targeted last year, and when he did allow

802
00:36:38,960 –> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 3: a catch, rarely allowed yards after the catch. He allowed

803
00:36:42,320 –> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 3: just one catch of twenty or more yards last season,

804
00:36:45,200 –> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 3: and he was flagged just once for past interference in

805
00:36:48,080 –> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. So this is a player that has

806
00:36:50,800 –> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 3: those physical tools. He has that speed that you can’t teach,

807
00:36:54,120 –> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 3: but also just a lot of production. Now, the only

808
00:36:56,280 –> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 3: thing with him is he’s only one hundred and seventy

809
00:36:58,120 –> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 3: three pounds, so kind of a light frame. But otherwise

810
00:37:02,280 –> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 3: he has stuff you can’t teach.

811
00:37:03,600 –> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 2: And he’s tough.

812
00:37:04,680 –> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: You know, he’ll play man to man even though he’s

813
00:37:06,280 –> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: slight frame, because there looks like there’s core strength with him.

814
00:37:09,000 –> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: I’m gonna throw another one in here, because this is

815
00:37:10,920 –> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: just it isn’t about Remember we just lectured you and

816
00:37:13,120 –> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: give you a sermon on the third day.

817
00:37:14,680 –> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 2: Let me give you another one. And this is out of.

818
00:37:16,520 –> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: Respect for your household, because they gave Ennis Rakestraw right tough.

819
00:37:20,640 –> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: You know, hardeners play the slot, make tackles the other one.

820
00:37:24,040 –> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: This could be like in the seventh round, maybe the

821
00:37:26,200 –> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: sixth round, and it’s Miles Harden of South Dakota.

822
00:37:28,960 –> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 3: Oh man, go yoats, go yoats.

823
00:37:31,520 –> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 2: Your wife’s to South Dakota, kyak, you’re a tiger.

824
00:37:33,800 –> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: They played each other this year and Harden was out there,

825
00:37:37,080 –> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: you know against Luther Burden, I scramp and in fighting away.

826
00:37:40,480 –> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 1: Miles Harden is from when you look at Miami Gardens, Florida.

827
00:37:44,920 –> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: But he had in eleven he had done get this right,

828
00:37:47,719 –> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: forced eleven turnovers in twenty nine games, five eleven one

829
00:37:51,560 –> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: ninety five.

830
00:37:52,200 –> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 2: Tough as nails.

831
00:37:53,320 –> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: You could see him showing up in a sixth or

832
00:37:55,280 –> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: seventh round with the Chiefs or some other team. I’m

833
00:37:57,600 –> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: gonna go with him. Plus he went to the same

834
00:37:59,440 –> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: high school Gino Smith and Johnny Depp.

835
00:38:02,640 –> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, I’m just saying, man, Jack Sparrow done.

836
00:38:09,120 –> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 1: Overlook, don’t overlook my man miles hardened from the yachts

837
00:38:12,320 –> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: of South Dakota.

838
00:38:13,239 –> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 3: I imagine a scenario or you and I are in

839
00:38:15,800 –> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 3: the conference room upstairs, it’s like our war room, watching

840
00:38:18,320 –> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 3: the draft and we take a kid from South Dakota

841
00:38:21,200 –> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 3: and I freak out. I text Ellie, Ellie, we got

842
00:38:23,760 –> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 3: a coyote, and she’ll be like, okay, she’s binging on.

843
00:38:28,680 –> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 2: Yeah.

844
00:38:29,080 –> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 3: She’ll be like, I turned the draft off hours ago,

845
00:38:31,080 –> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 3: but I’ll be so excited we got a coyote. And

846
00:38:32,920 –> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 3: she’ll be like, don’t be weird because this happened with

847
00:38:35,239 –> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 3: Jack Cochran, because Jack Cochran is a coyote. And I

848
00:38:37,719 –> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: would tell her. I was like, hey, I told Jack

849
00:38:39,160 –> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: about you know how you went to South Dakota and stuff,

850
00:38:41,000 –> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 3: and she’s like, stop embarrassing me, Like leave him alone.

851
00:38:44,000 –> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 2: My wife will be watching Draft day for like the

852
00:38:46,000 –> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 2: seventh consecutive time like what, yeah, Oh, I’ll like to

853
00:38:48,960 –> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 2: have you the last one. We’ll close it out this

854
00:38:50,520 –> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: way in a wild card.

855
00:38:51,680 –> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 3: Take any spot, any spot, yeah, okay?

856
00:38:54,000 –> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 2: Or two just real quick too, and I’ll give you two.

857
00:38:56,160 –> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me think about this, okay, So hmm, I’ll.

858
00:38:59,560 –> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 2: Give you two.

859
00:39:00,400 –> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: Let me give you I got a couple and one

860
00:39:02,640 –> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: of the these. You know you actually featured him. You’ve

861
00:39:05,200 –> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: done an awesome job here again, everybody set up for

862
00:39:07,040 –> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: the draft.

863
00:39:07,600 –> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 2: Thanks you.

864
00:39:08,520 –> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: Look Isaiah Davis is South Dakota State, our rival Jeff Blue. Yeah,

865
00:39:13,760 –> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: he’s a jack rabbit national champion FCS Austin Woodard who

866
00:39:19,640 –> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: with us in that war room, our own little war

867
00:39:22,040 –> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: room which is upstairs from the real one. But Isaiah

868
00:39:25,160 –> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: Davis at a Joplin, Missouri was incredible. Thirty four hundred

869
00:39:28,640 –> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: dollar purpose yards and in seven hundred and twenty nine

870
00:39:33,200 –> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: touches three fumbles. He had one hundred plus yards in

871
00:39:37,239 –> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: twelve to sixteen playoff games. Remember, these guys were playing

872
00:39:40,640 –> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: in the playoffs as much as we were, and so

873
00:39:44,520 –> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: what people are backing off for six they don’t get.

874
00:39:47,800 –> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: But this is a guy that looks like Pacheco Wish

875
00:39:51,680 –> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 1: when you look at him in the way he runs

876
00:39:54,239 –> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: because he runs with his hair on fire. But Joplin, Missouri,

877
00:39:57,200 –> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: shout out, you got one here. The other one I

878
00:39:58,880 –> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: would throw in there is Ben Senative case state. Oh yeah,

879
00:40:02,080 –> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: you know I love him. But Waterloo Columbus High School

880
00:40:05,040 –> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: in Iowa, this is a baby Kelsey. He runs the

881
00:40:09,600 –> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: entire route tray. He can run one through nine. If

882
00:40:13,680 –> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: you look at what he’s done, four catches of forty

883
00:40:16,320 –> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: yards or more. He was only one of four FBS

884
00:40:18,400 –> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 1: tight ends to do that last year and made big

885
00:40:20,920 –> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: catches in the biggest games, huge in the run to

886
00:40:22,880 –> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: go to the Big twelve championship hit the year before last.

887
00:40:25,239 –> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: He’s just twenty one years old. One of the things

888
00:40:27,320 –> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: to look at too, and this is where the scouting

889
00:40:29,560 –> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: departments look at it because of COVID it’s been weird

890
00:40:33,200 –> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: in the college ranks.

891
00:40:35,200 –> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 2: Is how old are these guys?

892
00:40:37,120 –> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: Because we get all ranges here, partner, we got him

893
00:40:39,800 –> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: from twenty one to twenty seven, and so sometimes like

894
00:40:43,920 –> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: it’s not major League Baseball, are you going, ooh, twenty

895
00:40:45,880 –> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: seven years old? I can’t take him, But there is

896
00:40:48,800 –> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: like how many years will you have him? Ben Sinnet’s

897
00:40:51,680 –> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: just getting started. And when you see him, watch some

898
00:40:54,600 –> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: video of him, you’re gonna go.

899
00:40:55,680 –> 00:40:57,879
Speaker 2: Ooh, the klnd of looks like Kelsey. He also has

900
00:40:57,920 –> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 2: to block.

901
00:40:58,280 –> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: He’s not afraid of blocking, but he can run the

902
00:41:00,480 –> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: entire route tree. So could be a possible tight end

903
00:41:03,960 –> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: maybe third round, maybe fourth throw.

904
00:41:06,160 –> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 3: The game against Iowa State in the snow where he

905
00:41:09,200 –> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 3: had a huge game is what I think of when

906
00:41:10,719 –> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 3: I think of Ben Sennett, really really good player, and

907
00:41:13,600 –> 00:41:16,919
Speaker 3: in particular, he caught a touchdown pass on a tight

908
00:41:17,000 –> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 3: end screen where he broke like four tackles and all

909
00:41:19,400 –> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 3: I could think of was that looks really familiar. So yeah,

910
00:41:23,040 –> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 3: I mean I’d be thrilled with Ben Senate. I think

911
00:41:24,560 –> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 3: that’s a great one.

912
00:41:25,200 –> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: They run a lot of the same stuff. Yeah, Like

913
00:41:27,480 –> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: their offenses pretty much like ours in a lot of ways,

914
00:41:30,239 –> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: using the tight end and influencing and so yeah.

915
00:41:34,440 –> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 3: So I’ll give you two more. We’ll go from one

916
00:41:36,719 –> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 3: local guy to another local guy about defensive tackle Darius

917
00:41:39,560 –> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 3: Robinson from Mazoo.

918
00:41:41,600 –> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 2: He he were fixed bags.

919
00:41:43,880 –> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 3: He’s perfect for SPACs because he’s two hundred and eighty

920
00:41:46,160 –> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 3: five pounds, but played primarily on the edge last year.

921
00:41:50,080 –> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 3: But before that, before last season, he was almost exclusively

922
00:41:53,040 –> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 3: an interior defensive lineman at Maszoo. So think about the

923
00:41:56,960 –> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 3: versatility that Steve Spagnelo loves with players like Sean Wharton

924
00:42:00,719 –> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 3: and Mike Dana, even Chris Jones, Charleston Men. Mike Dana

925
00:42:03,640 –> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 3: to me, is the comp for him really similar, a

926
00:42:05,719 –> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 3: little bit bigger.

927
00:42:06,600 –> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 2: But when I watch him, Ike go ooh, this looks

928
00:42:09,960 –> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 2: like Mike Dana.

929
00:42:10,960 –> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 3: And Robinson is big. I mean he’s six foot five,

930
00:42:13,880 –> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 3: two hundred and eighty five pounds, but does kind of

931
00:42:16,040 –> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 3: play like Dana in a lot of ways. And he

932
00:42:18,160 –> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 3: had that opportunity to bounce out from defensive tackle to

933
00:42:20,880 –> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 3: edge rusher last year and he was just tremendous at it.

934
00:42:23,680 –> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 3: He had fourteen tackles for loss and eight and a

935
00:42:25,520 –> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 3: half sacks. So Darius Robinson I can’t quite figure out

936
00:42:28,600 –> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 3: where he’s going to go in the draft. You look

937
00:42:30,440 –> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 3: at some people they have him going like in the twenties,

938
00:42:33,120 –> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 3: and then others have him maybe as a second round pick.

939
00:42:35,120 –> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 3: But Darius Robinson is a player that I like a lot.

940
00:42:38,640 –> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 3: Another one that I’ve been kind of interested in all

941
00:42:40,840 –> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 3: of draft season is devontees Walker, wide receiver from North

942
00:42:44,160 –> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 3: Carolina now He’s interesting because I think he kind of

943
00:42:47,120 –> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 3: gets lost in this loaded receiver class where there are

944
00:42:50,520 –> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 3: so many good receivers this year that nobody’s really talking

945
00:42:53,440 –> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 3: about devontees Walker. The reason being because he did not

946
00:42:56,440 –> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 3: have a great Senior Bowl. He had some drops at

947
00:42:58,640 –> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 3: the Senior Bowl. But before that, I mean, he’s just

948
00:43:01,719 –> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 3: really impressive and had a good year for North Carolina.

949
00:43:03,920 –> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 3: He was a Kent State transfer played one year at

950
00:43:06,719 –> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 3: North Carolina. In that one year for the tar Heels,

951
00:43:08,960 –> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 3: he had forty one catches for seven hundred yards and

952
00:43:11,440 –> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 3: seven touchdowns, averaged seventeen yards per catch. I mentioned earlier

953
00:43:15,560 –> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 3: that Nate Wiggins allowed only one catch of twenty or

954
00:43:18,200 –> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 3: more yards all season. It was two Devonte’s Walker and

955
00:43:21,640 –> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 3: her runs a four to three six. His average depth

956
00:43:24,360 –> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 3: of target was eighteen point two yards. You hear all

957
00:43:27,120 –> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 3: those things. What that is is a player who can

958
00:43:29,760 –> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 3: stretch the field, but he’s not just a burner who

959
00:43:33,360 –> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 3: needs to be wide open. He can go up over

960
00:43:36,360 –> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 3: dbs because he has great length. Many times, if you

961
00:43:39,960 –> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 3: watch his tape, he can make contested catches. So he’s

962
00:43:43,920 –> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 3: probably not a polished, finished product at receiver, and that’s

963
00:43:46,760 –> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 3: why he’s not being talked about as a first round pick,

964
00:43:49,120 –> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 3: and he had that rough Senior Bowl. But overall, this

965
00:43:53,160 –> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 3: is a guy who has excellent size and speed, made

966
00:43:56,239 –> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 3: a lot of big plays last year at North Carolina,

967
00:43:58,600 –> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 3: And if you’re trying to add an ex glosive element

968
00:44:00,880 –> 00:44:03,959
Speaker 3: to the Chiefs passing game from a rookie this year,

969
00:44:04,400 –> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 3: Devonte Walker could make some sense. So I’m intrigued by him,

970
00:44:07,040 –> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 3: and he could be available on Day two.

971
00:44:08,520 –> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question.

972
00:44:09,640 –> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 1: I see a sort of a Mike Evans, Mike Williams

973
00:44:12,760 –> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: and him high pointing at the third level. He is

974
00:44:14,960 –> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: really good at the third level in making big plays,

975
00:44:17,640 –> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: third level, first level, second level, Day one, Day two,

976
00:44:20,280 –> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: Day three, undrafted free agents, rookie minie camp. We hopefully

977
00:44:24,120 –> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: have laid this out for you because as we go

978
00:44:27,320 –> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: into these next several days, really the next week, starting

979
00:44:30,400 –> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 1: with Thursday night in the first round, Hey, he’s Matt McMullen.

980
00:44:34,600 –> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: I’m Mitchelda’s voice to the Chiefs.

981
00:44:36,520 –> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 2: And just no, it all counts. Ne
