Speaker 1: It’s back since the beginning of time in music, poetry,

2
00:00:05,080 –> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: I don’t know theater Shakespeare. Do you like them or

00:00:16,960 –> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: Can love them. It’s all brought to you by Ticketmaster,

00:00:20,200 –> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: your new best friend. There is so many great things

8
00:00:22,880 –> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: going on in the Chiefs Kingdom that you can use

00:00:24,720 –> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: Ticketmaster for, including the twenty twenty six season. When the

10
00:00:28,080 –> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: schedule comes out, the homes in the pocket will step up.

11
00:00:30,800 –> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: You’ll scrabble ten for bags diving touchdown Chansas City, everyone.

12
00:00:37,640 –> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: I’m Mitchelter’s voice of the Chiefs along with senior team

13
00:00:39,880 –> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: reporter Matt McMullen. We’ve changed our location today. We’re at

14
00:00:43,560 –> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: the press conference room, the presser room in the University

15
00:00:47,479 –> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: of Kansas Health System Practice facility. So this is where

16
00:00:52,000 –> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: this is where they make the sausage right in here.

17
00:00:53,840 –> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: This is where the woodburns.

18
00:00:55,320 –> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking about this. I think the last

19
00:00:57,880 –> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: time we did an episode in this was the first

20
00:01:01,240 –> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: episode after losing the title game to the Bengals in

21
00:01:04,440 –> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: twenty one. So we had some good luck after doing

22
00:01:07,160 –> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: an episode in here, won two straight Super Bowls and

23
00:01:09,200 –> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: went to three in a row.

24
00:01:10,080 –> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: Pretty good. Let’s do that again, positive way of looking

25
00:01:12,200 –> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: at it, because I think that’s why I blocked it

26
00:01:13,800 –> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: out of my mind. Yep, yep, yeah, I could still

27
00:01:15,760 –> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: see some I JP run on the forty one yard

28
00:01:17,720 –> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: screen pass, so yeah, or not making it before the

29
00:01:21,280 –> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: end of the half and getting up two scores perhaps Anyway,

30
00:01:25,240 –> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: that’s neither here nor there. What is here? Like them?

31
00:01:28,560 –> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: Love them? We’ll get into all that. Here is Matt

32
00:01:31,440 –> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: and I look at the twenty twenty six NFL Draft.

33
00:01:34,600 –> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: But before we do that, it’s a tradition. Let’s go

34
00:01:36,880 –> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: around the world. It got two for you today? Perfect?

35
00:01:39,560 –> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we Taekwon Thornton consistently had two for several.

36
00:01:42,800 –> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: Weeks, means an eleven hundred yards season for Taekwon Thornton

37
00:01:45,920 –> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: in about eight touchdown.

38
00:01:46,880 –> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: Sign me up. Shout out to Mason.

39
00:01:49,280 –> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: So.

40
00:01:49,480 –> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: I was at the grocery store last week and met

41
00:01:51,600 –> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: Mason in the parking lot. Crazy They’re putting some groceries away,

42
00:01:54,280 –> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: and Mason came up and said Hi, So shout out

43
00:01:55,840 –> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: to you, Mason. Thanks for saying Hi, he wasn’t stalking you.

44
00:01:58,040 –> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: No.

45
00:01:58,240 –> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: It always helps because I think Ellie just thinks I

46
00:02:01,200 –> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: don’t actually have a job, you know, but when people

47
00:02:03,520 –> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: see me in the parking lot and she’s like, oh,

48
00:02:05,000 –> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: they actually you know, pay attention to the stuff that

49
00:02:06,800 –> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: you do. I appreciate you, Mason.

50
00:02:07,920 –> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: Thanks you.

51
00:02:08,720 –> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: The street cred with my wife.

52
00:02:09,840 –> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: Not your wife is awesome. But she also realizes you’re

53
00:02:12,200 –> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: kind of deal.

54
00:02:13,440 –> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: No, I think it’s the opposite. Actually, also shout out

55
00:02:16,600 –> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: to Doran. So I’ve met him a few times up

56
00:02:18,480 –> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: a training camp over the years. Kind of a small world.

57
00:02:21,240 –> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: So Doran’s wife is good friends with my wife’s best friend,

58
00:02:26,120 –> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: you know, Sierra from South Dakota. Yeah, so when Sierra

59
00:02:30,520 –> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: lived here, she got to know Doran’s wife. And then

60
00:02:32,480 –> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: when I met Doron at training camp, he said, explain

61
00:02:35,280 –> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: this whole connection. Anyway, long story short, and not Deron Sherry,

62
00:02:38,840 –> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: but I bet he was named for him, honestly. So

63
00:02:41,639 –> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: he’s a huge Chiefs fan. Anyway, I saw Doran at

64
00:02:44,600 –> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: the Royals game a few weeks ago, and what I

65
00:02:47,040 –> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: love about Dorn is We’re at the Royals game and

66
00:02:49,120 –> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: he’s decked out in Chiefs gear.

67
00:02:50,440 –> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: So love it.

68
00:02:51,000 –> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: Shout out to you, Deron, good seeing you again.

69
00:02:52,800 –> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: And both of these around the world. I actually go

70
00:02:54,600 –> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: back to your wife Elly in some way there’s.

71
00:02:56,240 –> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: A connection that Ellie is the connection. Yes, yeah, shout

72
00:02:58,800 –> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: out to Ellie.

73
00:03:00,120 –> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: Shout out to her. She’s amazing actually what she does

74
00:03:02,919 –> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: for our community, especially with the incredible Kansas City Zoo.

75
00:03:06,960 –> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: We kid about La, but she’s she’s big time.

76
00:03:10,120 –> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: Go to the zoo, go to the aquarium.

77
00:03:12,080 –> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: It’s yeah, okay, you and I have been We’ve had

78
00:03:16,000 –> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: a little more time to work on the draft this year. Yeah,

79
00:03:18,639 –> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: not getting deep into the playoffs, so that meant our

80
00:03:21,080 –> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: off season began earlier than usual. It’s been an interesting draft.

81
00:03:24,520 –> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: You and I have done the deep dive. We’ve swam

82
00:03:26,760 –> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: a couple laps in the pool, got out and dove

83
00:03:29,080 –> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: back in again. On this episode, though, and here’s the

84
00:03:33,160 –> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: surgeon General’s warning, we’re going to give you some names

85
00:03:36,600 –> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: that Matt and I like. Not necessarily, there’s some household

86
00:03:40,720 –> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: names here that you’ve heard over and over and over

87
00:03:42,480 –> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: if you’re not even just a draft freak. But the

88
00:03:46,840 –> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: caution here is because you’ve been in the league long

89
00:03:48,760 –> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: enough and it’s only my thirty third year. You like

90
00:03:52,320 –> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: these players, but you don’t fall in love with them

91
00:03:56,880 –> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: because think of the percentage is that they would become

92
00:04:00,840 –> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: a Kansas City Chief. We like these guys, but we’ll

93
00:04:04,400 –> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: really love them when they become a Chief. If they

94
00:04:06,400 –> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: become a Chief.

95
00:04:07,600 –> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: So setting the stage for this whole episode in the

96
00:04:09,920 –> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: draft coming up, can I hit you with a number

97
00:04:11,720 –> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: that I found pretty impressive? So this is via Josh

98
00:04:15,160 –> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: Dunbo with the AP. So, the twenty twenty two draft

99
00:04:19,080 –> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: class for the Chiefs played twenty four thousand, one and

100
00:04:22,560 –> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: forty one total snaps in the regular season and the

101
00:04:25,279 –> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: playoffs during their four year stretch. Here, most by any

102
00:04:29,320 –> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: team’s draft class in their first four seasons since at

103
00:04:31,880 –> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: least two thousand and six, and more than one thousand

104
00:04:34,080 –> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: snaps ahead of the next closest team. I bet it’s

105
00:04:36,839 –> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: one of the most the highest numbers in league history.

106
00:04:39,440 –> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: They just don’t have the data going far back enough.

107
00:04:41,600 –> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: But think about that. I mean, we talk about it

108
00:04:43,200 –> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 2: all the time, how transformative the twenty twenty two class was.

109
00:04:46,520 –> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: We need that again right now. And I mentioned how

110
00:04:49,320 –> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: the last time we shot this episode was after that

111
00:04:51,720 –> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: brutal loss to the Bengals. But we turned things around. Well,

112
00:04:54,520 –> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: one of the primary reasons we turn things around was

113
00:04:56,839 –> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty two draft class. Well, we have a

114
00:04:59,480 –> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: chance to do that again. We got to hit on

115
00:05:01,240 –> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: these picks though, I mean, having nine picks we have,

116
00:05:03,640 –> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: let me see year one, two, three, four, four picks

117
00:05:05,839 –> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: in the top one hundred, I mean, a big opportunity

118
00:05:08,880 –> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs and fortunately a lot of players that

119
00:05:11,160 –> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: we like a lot, but yeah, don’t don’t love them yet,

120
00:05:13,240 –> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: but hopefully we love some of these guys pretty soon.

121
00:05:15,200 –> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: In fact, here’s your code for your next If you’ve

122
00:05:19,200 –> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: got like a lock that you can just set it up.

123
00:05:22,760 –> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: So right nine left, twenty nine, right forty left seventy

124
00:05:27,000 –> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: four right one oh nine, left one forty eight, right

125
00:05:29,560 –> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: one sixty nine left two ten oh slip one sixty

126
00:05:33,120 –> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: five in there a compensation pick in the fifth round.

127
00:05:36,400 –> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: But to your point, and we mentioned this, to have

128
00:05:39,680 –> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: four picks in the top seventy five is crazy. Yeah,

129
00:05:42,920 –> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: And then you look that if you stay where you’re

130
00:05:45,200 –> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: and you know that Beach is going to be trading,

131
00:05:47,040 –> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: he just is, you still got five more picks, all

132
00:05:50,120 –> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: before the start of the seventh round. So yeah, you

133
00:05:55,640 –> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: look at great drafts the nineteen sixty three draft, if

134
00:05:58,200 –> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: you want to go back into the ancient of days,

135
00:06:00,279 –> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: actually set up the run that led to the Super

136
00:06:02,320 –> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: Bowl four title and the incredible class of twenty twenty two.

137
00:06:05,600 –> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: You and I’ve talked about him over and over and

138
00:06:07,120 –> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: over again, and I love those stats because they just

139
00:06:09,560 –> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: verify what we’ve said in many ways from a completeness.

140
00:06:13,839 –> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: Maybe the best draft class in Chiefs history, and I

141
00:06:16,080 –> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: think that can be defended. But now you got to

142
00:06:18,920 –> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: try to replicate it because those guys have all kind

143
00:06:22,120 –> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: of splintered, and most of them other than George Carlotus

144
00:06:24,520 –> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: and it’s like nausey still here, but everybody’s got to

145
00:06:26,920 –> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: move on all around. But the point is if you

146
00:06:29,600 –> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 1: can try to replicate or get close with these nine picks,

147
00:06:32,680 –> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: if you stay put, you can set yourself up for

148
00:06:35,480 –> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: another run.

149
00:06:36,440 –> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: And really, I think a theme in the twenty twenty

150
00:06:38,440 –> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: two class was the best player available mantra. So think

151
00:06:41,680 –> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: about how that all played out. We’ve talked about it before.

152
00:06:44,160 –> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: Trading up for Trent McDuffie was interesting because going into

153
00:06:47,360 –> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: the draft, were you thinking we got to get a

154
00:06:49,279 –> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: corner in the first round, Like that’s an obvious thing

155
00:06:51,480 –> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: we got to do. I don’t think so. I think

156
00:06:53,440 –> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: it was a matter of a really good player falling

157
00:06:55,760 –> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs found a spot for him. A similar

158
00:06:58,200 –> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 2: deal if you look at later in the draft they

159
00:07:00,080 –> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: take Joshua Williams in the fourth round. Well, even though

160
00:07:02,400 –> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 2: they took two corners earlier, didn’t stop him from taking

161
00:07:04,680 –> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 2: Jalen Watson in the seventh round. He was the top

162
00:07:06,640 –> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: player on their board. Leo Chanel on the third round.

163
00:07:09,880 –> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: I don’t think linebacker was a crazy need for the

164
00:07:12,160 –> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: Chiefs at that point, but they said, Hey, this is

165
00:07:14,080 –> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: our top player on the board. We’re going to take

166
00:07:15,800 –> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: this guy, find a role for him. And think about

167
00:07:17,800 –> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: all those players I mentioned, they all found a way

168
00:07:19,640 –> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: to impact this team and help this team win super Bowls,

169
00:07:22,320 –> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: even if it wasn’t like an obvious, Hey we’re drafting

170
00:07:25,000 –> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: for need right now. So the Chiefs do a good

171
00:07:27,920 –> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: job of that about really taking the best player available.

172
00:07:30,600 –> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: Did an amazing job of it in twenty twenty two.

173
00:07:33,120 –> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: And I think the way that we’ve used free agency

174
00:07:35,200 –> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: this offseason, as we’ve put ourselves in a position to

175
00:07:37,800 –> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: truly go after the best players available. And it’s funny.

176
00:07:41,400 –> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you look at mock drafts, you look at

177
00:07:42,960 –> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: projections and the experts are trying to marry the need

178
00:07:47,280 –> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: with the best player available. Not always the case. I mean,

179
00:07:50,520 –> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: we might end up with some players that we don’t

180
00:07:52,440 –> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: even talk about today, but four years from now, hopefully

181
00:07:55,280 –> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 2: we’re looking back and saying, that guy helped us win

182
00:07:57,040 –> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl.

183
00:07:58,200 –> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. The remarkable stat of the twenty two class is

184
00:08:01,240 –> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: the fact that those guys are nine and one in

185
00:08:03,040 –> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They lost one.

186
00:08:04,760 –> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: Playoff game and it was the Super Bowl.

187
00:08:06,440 –> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, and so incredible group. We’ll asue him

188
00:08:09,960 –> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: at reunions, hug them, shed some tears and laughter, and

189
00:08:13,320 –> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: wish them the best. But here we are in the present,

190
00:08:16,480 –> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: and we push on and let’s go in. We’re gonna

191
00:08:19,120 –> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: look at six different categories. We can’t sit here and

192
00:08:22,000 –> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: do a five hour draft show, though we could could be.

193
00:08:24,920 –> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: We could, and it’d be fun. But we’re gonna look

194
00:08:26,920 –> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: at six different categories of players and just pick the

195
00:08:29,800 –> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: guy that maybe intrigues us a lot, not the most.

196
00:08:34,280 –> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: And some of these will be household names that you followed,

197
00:08:36,880 –> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: some will not, But I think there’s interest in each

198
00:08:41,120 –> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: one of these and have their own individual stories. So

199
00:08:43,400 –> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: I’ll start. We’re gonna look at safety, but I’m gonna

200
00:08:45,840 –> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: start with Caleb Downs. And people are going, oh, no brainer,

201
00:08:48,600 –> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: like nice, you know, way to go cat than obvious.

202
00:08:52,400 –> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: But here’s what’s not so obvious. I think all of

203
00:08:54,880 –> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: the Ohio State guys are miscast of the main guys

204
00:08:58,960 –> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: in Northern card Tate. He’s a wide receiver. But when

205
00:09:02,400 –> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: you look at Downs, and we mentioned this a little

206
00:09:04,600 –> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: bit ago, I think, or a couple episodes ago, he’s

207
00:09:07,240 –> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: listed as a safety. To me when I review the video,

208
00:09:10,120 –> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: which is very, very impressive, he’s a slot corner. He

209
00:09:13,520 –> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: can play safety, but he’s a slot corner. And the

210
00:09:16,840 –> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: fact that when he led Alabama me we started at

211
00:09:19,280 –> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: Alabama before he went to Ohio State at Caleb Downs,

212
00:09:22,040 –> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: he led Alabama in tackles. That was the first freshman

213
00:09:25,000 –> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: to lead Alabama in tackles ever. So that’s the player

214
00:09:29,000 –> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: Caleb Downs is. And you look at two hunred and

215
00:09:31,480 –> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: fifty seven career tackles, he would fit. He would be

216
00:09:34,360 –> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: an incredible scheme fit, and he would be also an

217
00:09:37,840 –> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: incredible replacement for Trent McDuffie because I get the sense

218
00:09:42,240 –> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: wherever he lands, Caleb Downs, he will be a phenomenal

219
00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: slot corner to me.

220
00:09:48,679 –> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: So first of all, Caleb Downs is my favorite player

221
00:09:50,679 –> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: in this draft. I think he’s awesome. I think he’s

222
00:09:53,520 –> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: the kind of player that could come in on Day

223
00:09:55,200 –> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 2: one and be a piece of your defense, like right

224
00:09:58,679 –> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: away because of his very satility. He can play the slot,

225
00:10:01,720 –> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: which if you look at modern NFL offenses, some of

226
00:10:04,679 –> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 2: the best receivers on the opposing team are playing out

227
00:10:07,559 –> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: of the slot now, and some of the best defenses

228
00:10:10,240 –> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: in the league they have that jack of all trades

229
00:10:12,240 –> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: kind of safety that can go in there and do

230
00:10:13,960 –> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: a little bit of everything. Cover the slot, blitz off

231
00:10:16,160 –> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: the edge, play deep if need be, be that extra

232
00:10:18,280 –> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 2: linebacker if they need to be, play the run, all

233
00:10:20,880 –> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: that stuff. Kiala Downs can do all of those things,

234
00:10:23,280 –> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: and man, if we got him at number nine, I

235
00:10:26,040 –> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: think that’d be a total steal. I’ll give you one

236
00:10:28,280 –> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: more though at safety. Not sure if this is a

237
00:10:30,840 –> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: late first rounder early second rounder. Probably trending more tour

238
00:10:34,120 –> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 2: to being a late first rounder, but it’s Emmanuel McNeil

239
00:10:37,280 –> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 2: Warren from Toledo. Interesting player for a lot of reasons.

240
00:10:41,000 –> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: So he’s kind of like a long, lanky player with

241
00:10:44,240 –> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: a lot of ball skills. So five career picks, including

242
00:10:46,920 –> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: two interceptions last year, nine career forced fumbles. So he

243
00:10:50,559 –> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: has mastered the Peanut Tillman punch out and it’s a

244
00:10:53,880 –> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: thing of beauty to watch and we could use that

245
00:10:56,800 –> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: on our defense. I think we’ve talked about this for

246
00:10:58,559 –> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 2: a couple of years now, meeting to find ways to

247
00:11:00,640 –> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: get more sudden change defensive plays, explosive defensive plays, and

248
00:11:05,360 –> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: get some more takeaways. And that’s Emmanuel McNeil Warren’s bread

249
00:11:08,880 –> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: and butter. He was called for just one penalty in

250
00:11:11,600 –> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: college on nearly two thousand defensive snaps, So kind of

251
00:11:14,880 –> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 2: impressive to think about that aggressive nature to be going

252
00:11:17,760 –> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: for the ball and to have those interceptions, but also

253
00:11:20,679 –> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 2: to not be penalized. So I think that’s kind of

254
00:11:23,360 –> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: interesting where he’s not an over aggressive player. He’s an

255
00:11:25,800 –> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: aggressive player within the rules of the defense, and that’s

256
00:11:28,840 –> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: a good thing. Also, he’d never transferred from Toledo, and

257
00:11:32,160 –> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: I know that you’d love that. Guys like this don’t

258
00:11:35,200 –> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 2: come along very often where they’re a star at a

259
00:11:38,240 –> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: school like Toledo, and they stay at Toledo because they

260
00:11:41,480 –> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 2: believe in the coaching staff there. They believe that’s the

261
00:11:43,480 –> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: best environment for them to grow. I think it’s really

262
00:11:46,280 –> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: cool that he was probably offered a bunch of money

263
00:11:48,640 –> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: to go somewhere else and he said, I’m good, I’m

264
00:11:50,600 –> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: gonna stay here at Toledo or they gave me a

265
00:11:52,559 –> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: chance initially. So he’s probably a guy that you could

266
00:11:55,280 –> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: take it like twenty nine, maybe forty if he fell,

267
00:11:57,880 –> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: But he’d be a fun piece to add to the second.

268
00:12:00,400 –> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: He’s another guy that I feel could be a Day

269
00:12:02,360 –> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: one impact guy, even if in the sub position. But

270
00:12:05,559 –> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: he’s so long. Yeah, then that’s where those punchouts come

271
00:12:09,440 –> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: from and deflections. But and again coming from Toledo, people

272
00:12:14,480 –> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: would say, well, he played in the Mac. Well, Quinyan

273
00:12:16,360 –> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: Mitchell played in the Mac. Okay, he was one of

274
00:12:18,559 –> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: my favorite guys in that whole draft. I remember that

275
00:12:20,600 –> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: I liked him.

276
00:12:21,520 –> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: You were right about it.

277
00:12:22,200 –> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn’t love him because then he beats us

278
00:12:24,559 –> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl. So that’s my whole point. You

279
00:12:26,640 –> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: can like these guys, just don’t love him until their

280
00:12:28,920 –> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 1: own But yes, I did love him. But I’ve learned

281
00:12:31,480 –> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: about but the fact that so many guys now get up,

282
00:12:35,400 –> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: they get bought up. Basically I look at the combine.

283
00:12:38,280 –> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: We talked about only five FCS guys there. I don’t

284
00:12:40,840 –> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: think any Division two or three guys. But when guys

285
00:12:44,000 –> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: stay where they’re at, to me, it is a great sign.

286
00:12:46,840 –> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: That is a green flag. And the fact that he

287
00:12:49,240 –> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: stayed there at Toledo, I like him very much. I

288
00:12:52,360 –> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: think that’s a great spot.

289
00:12:53,440 –> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, should we jumped to edge.

290
00:12:54,920 –> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: Let’s go to edge.

291
00:12:55,600 –> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: Okay, I’ll give you one. This is another guy that

292
00:12:57,760 –> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: probably could fit around like a twenty nine area, maybe forty,

293
00:13:01,400 –> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: but probably twenty nine. It’s TJ. Parker from Clemson. To me,

294
00:13:05,520 –> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: he kind of hits all the benchmarks for what SPAGS

295
00:13:07,720 –> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: looks for in an edge rusher. So he’s six foot four,

296
00:13:10,240 –> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty three pounds with thirty three inch arms.

297
00:13:13,520 –> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: He’s a playmaker. This is crazy. A third of his

298
00:13:16,440 –> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: career tackles were in the backfield. Think about that. Consistently

299
00:13:19,920 –> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: just making plays, tackles for loss. He had more tackles

300
00:13:22,920 –> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: for loss actually at forty one and a half than

301
00:13:25,320 –> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: games played in college with just thirty nine. So consistently

302
00:13:29,040 –> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: making plays, great motor, always going one hundred miles an

303
00:13:31,520 –> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: hour even after the initial rush. He has some great

304
00:13:33,920 –> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: tape where the running back will get up field or

305
00:13:37,160 –> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 2: as a screen, he turns around and tracks that player down.

306
00:13:40,440 –> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: Doesn’t happen a lot a lot of times. You watch

307
00:13:42,320 –> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: edge rushers who are there to get a sack, and

308
00:13:44,320 –> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: a sack only if their rush initially fails, they’ve taken

309
00:13:47,679 –> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: the playoff. That’s not TJ.

310
00:13:48,960 –> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: Parker.

311
00:13:49,679 –> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: Now, he was amazing in twenty twenty four, like crazy numbers.

312
00:13:52,960 –> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: He had nineteen and a half tackles for loss, eleven sacks,

313
00:13:55,679 –> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 2: and six forced fumbles in twenty twenty four. Production wasn’t

314
00:13:59,080 –> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: as highlast year, dipped a little bit, but the foundation

315
00:14:02,400 –> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: is obviously there, the potential is there, and he was durable.

316
00:14:05,440 –> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: Played in thirty nine straight games to wrap up his career.

317
00:14:08,120 –> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 2: So TJ. Parker to me, if he was there at

318
00:14:10,320 –> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: twenty nine would be a home run.

319
00:14:11,960 –> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: Let me give you another one who could be at

320
00:14:14,640 –> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: forty don’t know it’s about seventy four, but he might.

321
00:14:18,280 –> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: And I’m gonna go Ellie makes your heartbeat fast. Yeah,

324
00:14:25,880 –> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: A whole other episode. But I’m right here going for

325

Speaker 1: your heart because Zion Young of MISSOI, oh yeah, all right.

326
00:14:33,760 –> 00:14:37,600

327
00:14:37,640 –> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: but enough enough at Michigan State. But give me your

328

337
00:15:06,160 –> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: draft oh ya that maybe they could end up. Here

338
00:15:08,040 –> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: but in terms of what spags looks, for, yeah these

339
00:15:10,080 –> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: are spags players for.

340
00:15:11,200 –> 00:15:13,960

00:15:20,680 –> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: i don’t love, him and it’s that we’re red and.

344
00:15:21,840 –> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: Gold we have to be careful and he’s crushed us

345
00:15:23,960 –> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: a couple of. Times but when you look at what

346
00:15:25,920 –> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: he did At, missoo same thing he and watching his,

347
00:15:28,720 –> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: TAPE i love. Him you watch him because you’re A miszoo, fan.

348
00:15:31,080 –> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: Yep but he’s the same you just. Described the description

349
00:15:35,440 –> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: of these two players are very similar because he will fire,

350
00:15:38,840 –> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: out he will. Rush the play’s not his, side but

351
00:15:41,440 –> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: he will scream out to the, outside whether it’s a bubble,

352
00:15:44,160 –> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: screen tunnel, screen outside. Zone he’s Not Oh i’m. Blocked

353
00:15:47,440 –> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: i’m going to give up on this. Play his motor

354
00:15:49,720 –> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: to me and his pursuit is. Excellent so you AND

355
00:15:55,520 –> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: i both have high hopes For Ashton. Jalatti same kind of.

356
00:15:58,400 –> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: Player BUT i think these two guys and that’s WHY

357
00:16:02,320 –> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: i kind of Love Zion young, here Like Zion young,

358
00:16:05,880 –> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: here not love unless he is a, chief but kind

359
00:16:08,880 –> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: of the same.

360
00:16:09,360 –> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: Guy, well and With, parker and to an even more

361
00:16:12,400 –> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: extent With young because of his, length you can bounce

362
00:16:15,240 –> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: that kind of player. Inside they get their hands up

363
00:16:17,600 –> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: and you’re knocking a pass down at the line of.

364
00:16:19,360 –> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: Scrimmage you’ve talked about this. Before that’s as good as

365
00:16:21,960 –> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: a sack in my. Mind that wipes out of. Play

366
00:16:25,120 –> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: and ALSO i think about How CHARLES. A minehu when

367
00:16:27,280 –> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: he was playing his best football how he fit in this.

368
00:16:29,360 –> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: Defense Zion young to me is that kind of, PLAYER i,

369
00:16:32,080 –> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: think and.

370
00:16:32,600 –> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: Many times better than a sack because a thirty five

371
00:16:34,680 –> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: yard pass gets wiped. Out, yeah you watch it on

372
00:16:36,920 –> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: video and, go he’s wide open for thirty five yards

373
00:16:39,320 –> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: in the ball never makes it past the line of.

374
00:16:41,520 –> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: Scrimmage all, Right so safety and edge and edge gets

375
00:16:45,600 –> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: a lot of. Discussion but let’s go wide, receiver which

376
00:16:49,080 –> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: also gets a lot of. Discussion And i’m not sure

377
00:16:52,800 –> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: this is a. Nine i’m not sure it’s a twenty.

378
00:16:54,520 –> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: Nine it might, be but he’s climbing up the. Charts

379
00:16:57,320 –> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: and when you AND i get really kind of excited

380
00:16:59,600 –> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: about some when we’ll text.

381
00:17:00,760 –> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: You, yeah no matter what time of day or, night it.

382
00:17:03,200 –> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: Could be four in the. Morning and, uh we also

383
00:17:06,200 –> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: Put Austin woodard on that because he’s Our, yeah he’s

384
00:17:08,480 –> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: our draft. Maniac but WHEN i Watched Ted hurst video

385
00:17:13,119 –> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: At Georgia, state you’re you won a national title At

386
00:17:15,720 –> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: georgia did before you went To New Mexico. State uh

387
00:17:18,960 –> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: in college football video? Game BUT i, okay really like his.

388
00:17:27,240 –> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: Game this one this, Well i’m. Close this is A

389
00:17:31,480 –> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: Mike evans clone to me in many, ways he is

390
00:17:33,480 –> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: a red zone. Animal when you look at what he

391
00:17:36,440 –> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: has done ball, tracker and when you look at the

392
00:17:40,359 –> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: two years At Georgia state just south of two thousand

393
00:17:43,119 –> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 1: yards and fifteen, touchdowns and he is a guy that

394
00:17:47,040 –> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: will run, routes but he’s also got enough length where

395
00:17:50,080 –> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: he gives you the numbers to boundary h stretch the.

396
00:17:53,200 –> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: Field so right now in THE, nfl we’ve talked about

397
00:17:55,520 –> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: this ad. NAUSEA i, mean you can just watch games

398
00:17:57,600 –> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: and the and the. Playoffs to me really sentuated this

399
00:18:00,960 –> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: two deep safeties The puka A coupas of the world

400
00:18:03,920 –> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: are winning games because they’re getting catches at eight yards

401
00:18:06,720 –> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: making him, eighteen giving you all this middle of the.

402
00:18:09,160 –> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: Field the shots that are taken now in THE, nfl

403
00:18:12,240 –> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: at least in recent years or last year and a,

404
00:18:14,320 –> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: half are numbers to. Boundary no help on the. Outside

405
00:18:17,440 –> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: your two safeties over the top may be. Occupied it’s

406
00:18:20,160 –> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: a one on one play and even if you don’t complete,

407
00:18:23,080 –> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: it A dpi is in there, someplace, sure so that’s

408
00:18:27,240 –> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: where the shots are. Going and so for maybe A Taekwon.

409
00:18:30,800 –> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: Thornton But i’m talking numbers to boundary and the strength

410
00:18:33,359 –> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: to make those. Plays to, me Ted hurst is that.

411
00:18:36,040 –> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: Guy and he’s not listed with the other receivers with

412
00:18:40,600 –> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: The tats and The tysons and the Mackay lemons And

413
00:18:44,359 –> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: boston the kid From, washington but he’s not far. Behind

414
00:18:48,080 –> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: AND i really like his.

415
00:18:50,800 –> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: Video you, know it’s fun to look back at past

416
00:18:53,320 –> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 2: drafts and you wonder how did certain players go as

417
00:18:56,720 –> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 2: low as they. Did he might be one of those

418
00:18:58,520 –> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 2: guys that we look back on and say he went

419
00:19:00,920 –> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: in the third round or, whatever fourth, Round like what

420
00:19:03,440 –> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 2: how did that? Happen i’m with. YOU i will give

421
00:19:05,640 –> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 2: you a player, though that’s being talked about as a

422
00:19:07,440 –> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: potential nine overall, guy and That’s Carnell. Taate SO i

423
00:19:11,040 –> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: Think tait is really fascinating because he doesn’t have blazing.

424
00:19:15,320 –> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: Speed he runs a four to five to, three but

425
00:19:17,480 –> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 2: he might be the top vertical threat in this year’s.

426
00:19:19,720 –> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: Class well why is? That, well because he’s really good

427
00:19:22,200 –> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: at a lot of stuff that makes you a great vertical.

428
00:19:24,640 –> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 2: Receiver so he can put his foot in the ground

429
00:19:27,000 –> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: and create separation because of his, athleticism like better than

430
00:19:30,359 –> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 2: a lot of players in this, class better than players

431
00:19:32,440 –> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: that might have better speed than he, does just because

432
00:19:34,840 –> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 2: of how he can use his. Footwork, also he is

433
00:19:37,000 –> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: so good even if there’s a guy draped over him

434
00:19:40,000 –> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: about going up and getting the. Football so he caught

435
00:19:42,760 –> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: twelve of fourteen contested targets last, season nine catches of

436
00:19:46,920 –> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: forty or more yards last, year second most in THE.

437
00:19:49,119 –> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: Fbs he averaged thirty two yards per touchdown reception and

438
00:19:53,000 –> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 2: he had nine of, those by the, Way and my

439
00:19:55,040 –> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: favorite note On Carnel tait zero drops on sixty six

440
00:19:58,800 –> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: targets last. Year, so, yeah you look at the forty

441
00:20:02,040 –> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: time and you, SAY i don’t, know is that a

442
00:20:03,640 –> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 2: number nine overall? RECEIVER i say. Yes when you look

443
00:20:06,359 –> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: at his, video when you look at what he’s able

444
00:20:08,080 –> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: to do and how he’s truly a complete player who

445
00:20:10,760 –> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: can be a true vertical, THREAT i, think go up

446
00:20:13,280 –> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 2: and get the. Football mahomes can throw it up, there

447
00:20:15,400 –> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 2: he’s an account on, this got to come down with,

448
00:20:16,920 –> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 2: it and he can do so many different THINGS i

449
00:20:18,640 –> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: think in the intermediate passing game as. Well so don’t

450
00:20:21,720 –> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: worry about the forty. TIME i think this is a

451
00:20:23,560 –> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 2: player that’s really good at a lot of things that

452
00:20:25,520 –> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 2: kind of make up for.

453
00:20:26,160 –> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: That. WELL i really like. It, OKAY i Mentioned pooka

454
00:20:30,960 –> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: And akua his forty time four or five, Five, yeah, EXACTLY, OKAYJSN,

455
00:20:35,600 –> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: Jsn Jackson smith And jigba incredible year right his forty

456
00:20:39,720 –> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: time four five? Five, okay What tate does? THAT i,

457
00:20:43,720 –> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: like remember when we talked on an episode during the

458
00:20:46,160 –> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: season about the tight window, throw meaning or the tight window.

459
00:20:50,359 –> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: Catch we talk about the tight window throw with quarterbacks

460
00:20:52,840 –> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: all the. Time pat can make. It, ready he’s got

461
00:20:54,560 –> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: a just a sliver of a, gap he can do.

462
00:20:57,520 –> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: It but the tight window catch The, chiefs we didn’t

463
00:21:00,400 –> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: make it last. Year and those are the plays you

464
00:21:03,000 –> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: have to make against these look prolific two deep zones

465
00:21:05,880 –> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: and you take shots numbers to, boundary but you’re going

466
00:21:09,400 –> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: to have to make tight window catches And tate has done,

467
00:21:13,200 –> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: that and so you’re. Contested analys of a contested catch

468
00:21:17,119 –> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: would be perfect in fitting A Kansas City chief.

469
00:21:20,920 –> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 2: Uniform it’s something That Taekwon THORNTON i think did well

470
00:21:23,280 –> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: last year deep down the, field making contested. Catches it’s

471
00:21:25,920 –> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 2: also something THAT i don’t Think tyreek ever got enough

472
00:21:28,160 –> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: credit for Because tyreek obviously is the fastest player in THE,

473
00:21:31,400 –> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: nfl or was during his time with The, chiefs but

474
00:21:34,240 –> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 2: he could go up and get the football deep down

475
00:21:35,920 –> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 2: the field Like Carnel tate can do. That SO i

476
00:21:38,359 –> 00:21:39,719
Speaker 2: think he’d be a home run up The chiefs were

477
00:21:39,760 –> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 2: able to land. Him he would just add a different

478
00:21:41,359 –> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 2: DYNAMIC i think to the. Offense are we jumping to

479
00:21:44,280 –> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: a corner not a?

480
00:21:45,040 –> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: Corner and you got to go first on this? One all?

481
00:21:46,680 –> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: Right i’ll give you a guy that really has kind

482
00:21:48,520 –> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 2: of grown on me over, time And i’m kind of

483
00:21:50,960 –> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: fired up about As jermad McCoy From. Tennessee so he

484
00:21:55,400 –> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: was one of the top corners in the nation back

485
00:21:57,320 –> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, four his first season At. Tennessee he

486
00:22:01,000 –> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 2: was awesome AND i think tracking to be the top

487
00:22:04,280 –> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: corner taken in this year’s, draft if not right there

488
00:22:07,000 –> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: With Monsieur, delaine WHO i think is kind of the

489
00:22:08,720 –> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 2: consensus number one, guy but McCoy was right there with.

490
00:22:11,280 –> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: Him the issue is In january of that, season he

491
00:22:14,840 –> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 2: tore HIS acl and wiped out his entire season this,

492
00:22:17,760 –> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 2: year so couldn’t play at. All hasn’t played football since

493
00:22:20,160 –> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. Four the tape is really, good, though and

494
00:22:23,240 –> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 2: if people were concerned about his rehab how things were,

495
00:22:26,359 –> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 2: going we ran a four four forty at his pro,

496
00:22:28,760 –> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: day so he seems like he’s doing all. RIGHT i

497
00:22:31,520 –> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: think he has the ability to be like a complete.

498
00:22:34,080 –> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 2: Corner he can play press, man he can play, zone

499
00:22:36,520 –> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 2: he can do just about anything played high level. FOOTBALL

500
00:22:39,560 –> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: i think it’s funny his first career interception when he

501
00:22:41,840 –> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: was At Oregon state was Against Fernando. Mendoza he’s likely

502
00:22:44,680 –> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: going to be A raider that would be a good.

503
00:22:46,080 –> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 2: Fit and, also he went to White House High school

504
00:22:48,240 –> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: And Patrick mahomes knows, him and there’s this awesome PICTURE

505
00:22:51,440 –> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: i think it was maybe twenty eighteen or, seventeen very

506
00:22:54,760 –> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 2: early In mahomes’, career he went back To White house

507
00:22:57,640 –> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 2: and there’s a picture of him with Young jermad McCoy

508
00:23:00,160 –> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: and how funny would that be if they ended up

509
00:23:02,040 –> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: on the same. Team so he’s the kind of player

510
00:23:04,560 –> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: THAT i think could really elevate the. Secondary we’ll see

511
00:23:08,080 –> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 2: if he’s available later in the, draft like at number.

512
00:23:11,240 –> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: NINE i don’t know if he’s that kind of guy right.

513
00:23:13,359 –> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 2: Now maybe he is if The chiefs really fall in

514
00:23:14,920 –> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: love with, Him but that could be the kind of

515
00:23:16,720 –> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: candidate that if The chiefs want to trade back or

516
00:23:18,560 –> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 2: trade into the middle of the first. Round he can

517
00:23:20,480 –> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 2: make a lot of.

518
00:23:20,960 –> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: Sense, yeah so keep your theory on the. Sandwich to,

519
00:23:25,160 –> 00:23:27,159

520

Speaker 1: Jalen watson was able to thrive here as a seventh

531
00:24:04,359 –> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: round pick because he fit the way The chiefs do,

532
00:24:07,080 –> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: business and so does Montsur. Delaine, now why would you

533
00:24:10,680 –> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: take a corner at the ninth? Pick would you take

534
00:24:12,880 –> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: a corner of the ninth? Pick because people were, like,

00:25:32,680 –> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: Him? Yes.

559
00:25:33,160 –> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 2: Yeah we should have just had him on the episode

560
00:25:34,680 –> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: and been, like what do you think These IF i,

561
00:25:37,000 –> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: say IF i Say jermald McCoy Or Monster, delaine what

562
00:25:40,359 –> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 2: do you? Say you, Know i’m. Curious, Yeah i’d be

563
00:25:43,440 –> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: thrilled with either of those guys getting a player of

564
00:25:46,359 –> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 2: that caliber at. Corner we’ve talked about the need to

565
00:25:49,560 –> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 2: enhance the pass. Rush, well adding a player like that

566
00:25:52,200 –> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: helps the pass rush because you’re adding potentially an all

567
00:25:55,280 –> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: pro level corner to your. Defense i’m with you offensive tackle,

568
00:25:59,200 –> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: next what we’re doing or where do you want to

569
00:26:00,960 –> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 2: go if it’s?

570
00:26:01,720 –> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: Hard but let’s talk about your. Sandwich oh, yeah theory

571
00:26:05,480 –> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: while we’re on the, topic and the fact that this

572
00:26:08,520 –> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: is where a drmid McCoy would be a great example of.

573
00:26:12,480 –> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: This so your, THEORY i agree with, it potentially is.

574
00:26:15,440 –> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 2: What SO i think it would work out great if

575
00:26:18,200 –> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: The chiefs traded down from number nine to LIKE i

576
00:26:21,800 –> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: haven’t looked at a team in, mind but like fifteen

577
00:26:23,920 –> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 2: or sixteen or, seventeen.

578
00:26:25,119 –> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 1: What About dallas at?

579
00:26:25,960 –> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 2: Twelve that’d be, great and then you trade up from

580
00:26:29,400 –> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: twenty nine later to like twenty, one twenty two or

581
00:26:32,760 –> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: something like, that you would get some more, picks and

582
00:26:35,119 –> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 2: you still end up with two picks in the middle

583
00:26:37,200 –> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 2: of the first. Round AND i think a player like

584
00:26:38,960 –> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 2: McCoy is like the perfect player to take at like

585
00:26:41,520 –> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: twelve overall or in the middle of the first. Round

586
00:26:43,640 –> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 2: so that’s my. Theory if it, happens who. Knows i’m

587
00:26:46,640 –> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 2: not saying it’s going to happen Or i’ve heard that’s

588
00:26:48,400 –> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 2: going to. Happen i’m just saying that would be a

589
00:26:49,960 –> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 2: fun result and you could get some more picks as.

590
00:26:52,000 –> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: Well and let’s just, say and even at twenty, nine,

591
00:26:55,960 –> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: everybody don’t freak out if you don’t get an edge

592
00:26:57,880 –> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: or a wide receiver at, nine because in this draft

593
00:27:01,880 –> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: there’s going to be a potential starter at wide receiver

594
00:27:05,320 –> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: or edge at twenty. Nine, yeah and maybe even at,

595
00:27:08,040 –> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: forty because that’s my. Goal we’ll get to the. End,

596
00:27:10,119 –> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: first here ethan dessert while we’re having the, veggies is

597
00:27:13,280 –> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: the fact THAT i want three. Starters i’m not, greedy

598
00:27:15,800 –> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: but at, nine twenty, nine and, forty you’re, Going, mitch

599
00:27:17,680 –> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: what do you want three, starters day one, starters day,

600
00:27:20,400 –> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: one snap, one impact, players and you can get that

601
00:27:23,640 –> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: with those three picks in this draft at the variety

602
00:27:26,280 –> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: of needs The chiefs.

603
00:27:27,040 –> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: HAVE i think that has to be the, expectation and

604
00:27:29,520 –> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 2: if you look back at twenty twenty, two that’s what we.

605
00:27:31,920 –> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: Got so we got a starting, corner we got a

606
00:27:34,800 –> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 2: starting at dresser At George carl Loftis leo was kind

607
00:27:38,160 –> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: of a. Starter he was like That sam, linebacker BUT

608
00:27:40,680 –> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: i was in there quite a. Bit Brian cook was

609
00:27:43,280 –> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 2: the third safety, essentially but we just had depth. There

610
00:27:45,760 –> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 2: but he could have started if need. Be But Asaia

611
00:27:47,480 –> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: pacheco was the starting running back for this. Team halfway

612
00:27:49,520 –> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: through the next, Season.

613
00:27:50,440 –> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: Jalen watson in the second week in THE nfl credit

614
00:27:52,480 –> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: a ninety nine yard.

615
00:27:53,240 –> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 2: Pick, Yes Jilan watson was essentially a starter with the whole.

616
00:27:55,440 –> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: Season so even if you don’t find him in the top,

617
00:27:57,840 –> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: three we need to find starters in this. Draft But

618
00:27:59,800 –> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: i’m with, you those top three picks need to be.

619
00:28:01,880 –> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 2: STARTERS i think.

620
00:28:02,640 –> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: We’re going to offensive. Tackle this is mine to. Start

621
00:28:05,200 –> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: and Now i’m gonna go down because we’ve said this.

622
00:28:10,600 –> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: Before this is a right tackle. Festival there’s like eight

623
00:28:13,600 –> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: or nine guys in a popcorn popper to, me BUT

624
00:28:17,720 –> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: i got two guys that aren’t necessarily listed as near

625
00:28:21,160 –> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: the top in the, draft And i’m going to go to,

626
00:28:24,080 –> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: here But i’ll start With Blake miller Of. Clemson, yeah

627
00:28:28,600 –> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: because here’s WHAT i. Want here’s my definition of WHAT

628
00:28:31,480 –> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: i want at right tackle in the twenty twenty six.

629
00:28:33,560 –> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: Draft give me A Mitchell schwartz. Clone give Me Mitchell

630
00:28:38,000 –> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: schwartz of the twenty twenty six draft. Class Why Blake

631
00:28:41,120 –> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: miller From clemson’s in? There fifty four, snarts, starts four thousand,

632
00:28:46,480 –> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: snaps four thousand crazy all? Right as a, freshman he

633
00:28:50,520 –> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: started at right tackle as a true freshman At, clemson

634
00:28:53,400 –> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: the first time that had. Happens it’s nineteen forty, four

635
00:28:56,480 –> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: and he did not. Stop he just kept. Rolling, Now

636
00:28:59,480 –> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: i’m going to give you another one kind of, close

637
00:29:01,480 –> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: because these two to, me are very, similar and It’s

638
00:29:04,120 –> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: Caleb tiernan Of northwestern six seven, tall kind of string bean.

639
00:29:08,720 –> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: Type he needs to kind of grow into his. Body

640
00:29:10,800 –> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: but Think Mitchell schwartz, here Because mitchell had those seven

641
00:29:14,680 –> 00:29:18,479
Speaker 1: ninety four directs consecutive, snaps AND i remember coming off

642
00:29:18,480 –> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: the field At, tennessee And i’m choking tears BECAUSE i

643
00:29:21,000 –> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: kept giving a snap. Count But Caleb tearning In northwestern

644
00:29:23,920 –> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: eight hundred and forty six, snaps gave up one sack

645
00:29:26,720 –> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: one and the fact that he was just durable with

646
00:29:31,800 –> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 1: them forty three starts For northwestern at, tackle and they

647
00:29:36,480 –> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: played a lot of left. Tackle but he can go

648
00:29:38,120 –> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: to the right. Side but those two guys to, me

649
00:29:40,440 –> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: are plug and. Play let them. Rip they are shown

650
00:29:43,840 –> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: they’re durable and tough and Smart Mitchell schwartz and then

651
00:29:50,000 –> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: and keep in, mind Now i’m just because you got

652
00:29:53,280 –> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: to find the swing here and so you keep the

653
00:29:57,040 –> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: swing action going. There BUT i would take these two

654
00:29:59,360 –> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: guys and look at them as a starting right tackle

655
00:30:02,760 –> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: in week.

656
00:30:03,240 –> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 2: One i’m playing tackle in The big ten is no,

657
00:30:05,640 –> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: joke especially now you’re Playing oregon And washington AND usc

658
00:30:09,400 –> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: in addition To Ohio state And michigan and all These

659
00:30:12,320 –> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 2: Indiana like it’s it’s nuts on The Blake miller, NOTE

660
00:30:16,360 –> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 2: i like him a lot too high school, wrestler which you.

661
00:30:18,600 –> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: LOVE i love. It but, yeah the fact that and

662
00:30:21,160 –> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: With Jalen, MOORE i think he’d be like the best swing.

663
00:30:24,360 –> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: Guy look what he, did and so this isn’t a

664
00:30:26,840 –> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: knock on. Him this is to put him in the

665
00:30:28,440 –> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: best spot possible for The chiefs to win football. Games.

666
00:30:32,040 –> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, well and we need, depth. RIGHT i think

667
00:30:34,080 –> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: last year showed us we need depth on the interior

668
00:30:38,200 –> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: of our, team so the offensive and defensive, lines we

669
00:30:41,080 –> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 2: need it badly because last year it was tested on

670
00:30:43,800 –> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: both sides. Significantly so we’re.

671
00:30:45,560 –> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: RIGHT i want wrestlers on the offensive.

672
00:30:47,280 –> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: Line, Yeah Blake miller was a high school, wrestler WHICH

673
00:30:49,240 –> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: i Knew mitch would love. Immediately how Wasn’t clemson? Better

674
00:30:52,360 –> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 2: clemson has so many players who are like first and

675
00:30:54,240 –> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 2: second around talents between Like miller And Antonio williams is

676
00:30:57,480 –> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: a good, Player Peter, WOODS. Tj parker, obviously and they

677
00:31:01,640 –> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: have so many good. PLAYERS i don’t know how they weren’t.

678
00:31:03,600 –> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: Better i’ll give you a player who’s a little bit

679
00:31:05,760 –> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 2: different than the guys that you talked, about because he’s

680
00:31:08,120 –> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 2: more of like a raw player and like a ball of.

681
00:31:10,640 –> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: Clay It’s Maxi Hannah shore From Arizona. State kind of

682
00:31:14,040 –> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 2: reminds me a lot of what we have in Like,

683
00:31:16,040 –> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 2: esapole Even Chew, goderich where it’s a very young player

684
00:31:20,040 –> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: who was new to. Football so that’s the case of

685
00:31:21,760 –> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 2: The Hannah shore only started playing football in twenty twenty,

686
00:31:24,600 –> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 2: one two years of juco ball before transferring To Arizona

687
00:31:27,960 –> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: state in twenty twenty. Three clearly a quick. Learner so

688
00:31:32,040 –> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 2: he’s From nigeria originally and played basketball and soccer growing. Up,

689
00:31:36,560 –> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 2: again reminds me Of. Chew that athleticism is on full.

690
00:31:40,040 –> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 2: Display you can see that and how he moves thirty

691
00:31:42,880 –> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 2: one starts at right tackle during his time with The

692
00:31:44,920 –> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: Sun Devils durable so finished his career with twenty eight straight. Starts,

693
00:31:49,080 –> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: again still very raw at the, position like brand new

694
00:31:51,640 –> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: to it in a, sense but has some experience for

695
00:31:54,720 –> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 2: a young player and a raw, player and obviously showed

696
00:31:57,720 –> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: some really good. THINGS i think the foundation is there

697
00:32:00,040 –> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: for him to be a really good young. PLAYER i

698
00:32:02,200 –> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: don’t know if he comes in day one and wins

699
00:32:04,000 –> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 2: the starting, job BUT i think if you’re trying to

700
00:32:06,080 –> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: build some depth and trying to build a player up

701
00:32:08,800 –> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: who was ascending who maybe could be your right tackle

702
00:32:11,160 –> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 2: for years to come once he kind of gets his

703
00:32:12,840 –> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 2: legs under, Him Ihana shore could be that.

704
00:32:14,640 –> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: Guy, Yeah i’m all the tackles listed and we know

705
00:32:18,320 –> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: when you go down the line And fano and go

706
00:32:20,760 –> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: down to the, line this one might have the hana

707
00:32:23,880 –> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: try might have the highest ceiling of any of. Them

708
00:32:26,160 –> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: this is a guy that maybe in three years looks

709
00:32:27,960 –> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: like A Pro bowl. Guy, yeah and keep in mind

710
00:32:30,480 –> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: now they, Won they went to The big Twelve championship

711
00:32:32,880 –> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: game and he blocked For Camp. Scatabo so he’s been

712
00:32:35,480 –> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: around some really good football and some good dudes and

713
00:32:40,720 –> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: With tyson At Arizona. State SO i think that’s a good.

714
00:32:44,080 –> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: Pick that may be more of a projection, one but

715
00:32:46,200 –> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: that’s what you do when you get down to maybe

716
00:32:48,600 –> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: forty or.

717
00:32:48,960 –> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: Seven that’s the. Thing he’s not a player you take

718
00:32:50,640 –> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 2: at number nine or maybe even twenty. Nine but if

719
00:32:53,280 –> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: we were able to get him at like forty or beyond,

720
00:32:55,760 –> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 2: that like you’re getting a player with a great FOUNDATION

721
00:32:58,360 –> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 2: i think in a lot of.

722
00:32:59,040 –> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: Potential, okay we got one more position, group and again

723
00:33:03,160 –> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: this episode is we really like these. Guys you can’t

724
00:33:08,400 –> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: love them until you pick. Them and they’re wearing red

725
00:33:10,760 –> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: and gold and. White all. Right so the final category

726
00:33:13,720 –> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: is defense side defensive, tackle inside. Technique AM i going?

727
00:33:18,320 –> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: First you’re going? First?

728
00:33:19,320 –> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: Okay, Finished i’m going to give you a player who

729
00:33:21,920 –> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 2: is a local guy because we love the local. Guys Dominique,

730
00:33:24,560 –> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 2: Orange Big, citrus a Big. Citrus so he went To

731
00:33:27,800 –> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: North Kansas City High, school which is. Run but it’s

732
00:33:30,360 –> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: not just because he’s. LOCAL i think he could help our.

733
00:33:32,160 –> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: Team so he’s six foot, two three hundred and twenty

734
00:33:34,320 –> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: two pounds with long, arms crazy, strength so he benches

735
00:33:38,160 –> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: four to fifty squat six fifty at that, size, durable

736
00:33:41,840 –> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 2: played in fifty games over four years At Iowa. State to,

737
00:33:45,600 –> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: me projects is like a rock solid run defender and

738
00:33:48,120 –> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: just like an anchor in the middle of your defense

739
00:33:50,560 –> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 2: as like kind of that nose. Tackle, NOW i know

740
00:33:52,560 –> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 2: we Signed Kiris, tanga AND i think there’s some discourse

741
00:33:54,960 –> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 2: out there that we don’t necessarily need your classic nose

742
00:33:58,760 –> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: tackle kind of guy anymore because we Have. Tonga my

743
00:34:02,360 –> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: counterpoint would be that we need depth and we need

744
00:34:05,000 –> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: as many bodies at the position and players who are

745
00:34:07,920 –> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 2: ascending and can grow into playmakers for us at that,

746
00:34:10,320 –> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 2: position because, again look at the last couple of, years

747
00:34:12,920 –> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: particularly last year When Omar Norman locke got, hurt there’s

748
00:34:16,320 –> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: not a lot of depth at that. Position have to

749
00:34:18,040 –> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 2: go out and Bring Mike panel. Back BUT i would

750
00:34:20,440 –> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 2: love to develop some young players at that. Spot so

751
00:34:24,560 –> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: seventeen games, in we’re not talking about how we’ve lost

752
00:34:27,000 –> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of players and we’re just not nearly

753
00:34:29,000 –> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: as effective. THERE i Think Dominque orange is a fun

754
00:34:31,560 –> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: player who maybe isn’t going to be a BIG sac,

755
00:34:33,760 –> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: guy but could be a really solid player in the

756
00:34:36,320 –> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 2: middle of your defense for years to.

757
00:34:37,640 –> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: Come, yeah you need at least three in a, rotation hopefully.

758
00:34:40,880 –> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 1: Four in those inside tech guys usually four and mine

759
00:34:45,760 –> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: Is Lee hunter Of Texas. Tech, okay he might be

760
00:34:48,600 –> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 1: the most Underrated Texas tech front guy we know About

761
00:34:52,000 –> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: David bailey when you look At ramela height. TWO i

762
00:34:55,480 –> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: remember When PAT i talked To pattic how many defense

763
00:34:58,080 –> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: like guys you have on that? Line he was, like,

764
00:34:59,840 –> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: yeah the best.

765
00:35:00,680 –> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 2: Money who would have thought twenty years Ago Texas tech

766
00:35:02,640 –> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 2: would have all these great defensive.

767
00:35:03,840 –> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: PLAYERS i think they can Thank pat for. That, Yeah but,

768
00:35:07,320 –> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: Anyway Lee, hunter when you look at what he’s, done

769
00:35:10,400 –> 00:35:13,480
