Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Wvuafm, tuscaloosa hey, everybody. Thank you so much for listening to 90.7, the capstone. You are now listening to the student section, college football. My name is Tanner Thompson, along with Elliot and Graham. Fellas, how are we doing?
[00:00:26] Speaker B: The pirates are going 162 and o this year. They're on pace for that.
[00:00:29] Speaker A: Oh, boy. I did not miss the pirates narratives, man. Especially when they actually got good for a little bit last year because it became annoying because they started out, they were bad and you were just riding that too much, and then they actually got good, and then there wasn't anything we could say about it.
[00:00:42] Speaker B: Exactly. Exactly.
[00:00:43] Speaker A: Right. And they became bad again. Inevitably.
[00:00:45] Speaker B: You know? But you know what? This is our year, okay?
[00:00:48] Speaker A: This is your year.
[00:00:49] Speaker B: You know, I sound like a delusional cowboys fan saying this, because I do, and I wholly understand that.
[00:00:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:00:55] Speaker B: But they. The buckos are back. Okay.
[00:00:58] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:00:59] Speaker A: The buckos are back.
[00:01:00] Speaker B: The buckos are back. You heard it here first. Okay? It doesn't matter that three guys got thrown out at home. They still find ways to win an extra Indians third base coach.
The third base coach might be Matt Canon.
[00:01:12] Speaker A: He's got some lines, man. He's got some lines that he's got money on. Oh, boy. That's funny.
[00:01:17] Speaker B: You know what? It's not like the lines that show his interpreters of our.
[00:01:22] Speaker A: Had more lines.
[00:01:22] Speaker C: But wanna know who else is wanna know?
[00:01:25] Speaker B: Nobody cares about the Tigers.
[00:01:26] Speaker C: The Tigers are also literally nobody cares about the Tigers start starting the season off right.
[00:01:32] Speaker B: I guarantee you that there are more Pirates fans out there than Detroit Tigers fans.
[00:01:36] Speaker C: Who cares?
[00:01:37] Speaker A: Who cares? Who even cares? Anyway, look, the one thing that Tigers.
[00:01:41] Speaker C: Have going for them is they happen to play in, like, the worst division of baseball history.
[00:01:44] Speaker A: So there you go. They could luck into a playoff spot. Fair. Braves Braves play the Phillies opening day tomorrow.
[00:01:52] Speaker C: Didn't they get postponed today?
[00:01:54] Speaker A: It did. Well, got postponed from Wednesday.
[00:01:55] Speaker C: Okay, okay, okay.
[00:01:56] Speaker A: But, um. But, yeah, tomorrow, 02:00 p.m. Spencer Strider, future Cy Young winner this year.
[00:02:01] Speaker C: Oh, boy.
[00:02:02] Speaker A: But, yeah, that's probably enough.
[00:02:04] Speaker B: Baseball future cylinder, huh?
[00:02:06] Speaker A: Spencer Schreider. Yeah, absolutely.
[00:02:08] Speaker B: I think.
[00:02:09] Speaker A: No doubt.
[00:02:09] Speaker B: I think you mispronounced Paul Schieens.
[00:02:12] Speaker A: Paul Skeens.
All right.
[00:02:15] Speaker B: Indianapolis Indians legend, by the way.
[00:02:18] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh.
[00:02:19] Speaker A: All right.
That's probably enough baseball for one college football show.
We are going to be doing a mock draft for this episode.
Just a few, I guess, fundamentals to it. We are doing every third pick, so I will be one. And I will so, you know, four seven and so on. Same thing for Elliot and Graham. And also we are going to be doing this mock draft for what we would do in control of these teams because where we stand right now, there's a lot of things to happen in terms of just overall dialogue about who's going to go where, trades that still need to happen, things like that. I'm sure we'll end up doing another mock draft in the future with what we think will happen. But right now I think it's a little bit more fun if we go with what we would do.
But yeah, with that being said, I guess we should start. I do have the first pick in this draft with the Chicago Bears. I'm not going to make this one too long. I think it's pretty obvious to should go there and I think who probably will go there as well. It's going to be Caleb Williams to the Chicago Bears at number one. I don't need to explain that one too much. I think everyone knows it's coming, but yeah, it's inevitable. Yeah, it's inevitable. We don't have to waste too much time there. But that being said, it does get more fun even with the, even with the second pick and I feel like I am probably certain with who Elliott's going here.
[00:03:33] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, I think it's pretty much a foregone conclusion who the next best quarterback in this draft class is.
[00:03:39] Speaker A: Drake May.
[00:03:41] Speaker B: Not Drake May.
[00:03:42] Speaker A: Jayden Daniels. I bet he's going second.
[00:03:44] Speaker B: I bet you it is Jayden Daniels. And if it was me, I pick Jaden Daniels.
[00:03:48] Speaker A: There you go.
[00:03:48] Speaker B: That's who I would want because I think personally that he's the best quarterback in this draft. But that is a conversation for another.
[00:03:55] Speaker A: Day that we've also had a few times.
[00:03:57] Speaker B: We've had it a few times. Even Graham and I had it. Okay.
[00:03:59] Speaker A: Really? Oh, cuz you guys did ranked quarterback last week.
[00:04:02] Speaker B: That's right.
[00:04:03] Speaker A: God, I really wish I was here for that.
[00:04:04] Speaker B: You should have.
[00:04:05] Speaker A: That was a really unfortunate episode to do. Quarterback rankings.
[00:04:08] Speaker B: Really. We really missed you.
[00:04:10] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:04:11] Speaker A: I really appreciate that, man. You're welcome regardless. I was glad to be. I am. It's glad to be back. I am glad to be back.
[00:04:17] Speaker B: We're glad you're back.
[00:04:18] Speaker C: Yeah, we are glad.
[00:04:19] Speaker A: I guess. I guess Jaden Daniels goes to the two. I disagree. I think she go a few picks.
[00:04:24] Speaker C: Later but kind of cringe, you know?
[00:04:26] Speaker A: Kind of cringe.
[00:04:27] Speaker B: Kind of cringe. That is. That is kind of a cringe opinion. Graham, I would agree.
[00:04:31] Speaker A: Oh, man. All right. That leaves Graham with the New England Patriots.
[00:04:35] Speaker C: All right. Well, with Jayden Daniels off the board, then I guess the page. I guess if I. The Patriots, I guess I just have to go with Drake May. I mean, without the top two, I think there's a, there's a, there's a drop off after Caleb Williams and Jane Daniels and after Drake May, there's a big drop off.
[00:04:51] Speaker A: Significant drop off. Absolutely.
[00:04:53] Speaker C: So, yeah. Patriots, they need a quarterback. Drake May.
[00:04:57] Speaker A: Love it. Good pick. That's. I'm, it's funny hearing this dialogue. Cause I guess I wasn't present last week at all. I. Confident I. What you said, graham. I'm the opposite in that Caleb Williams and Drake May and then Jaden Daniels and then everyone else, if that makes sense.
[00:05:11] Speaker B: I'm very much with the Graham camp. I definitely think it's Williams and Daniels. A little bit of a. I don't think it's as much of a drop off as he says it is. I think there's a gap. Drake May and then I think there's a pretty sizable gap after those three.
[00:05:23] Speaker A: Right. Fair enough. We'll get into the. Obviously, there's a lot to be unpacked with us and Jayden Daniels and Drake May, but we'll get into that in a more in depth episode where we don't have an entire first round of draft picks to go through. Now, this does make my pick at four a little bit easier. That being said, I do think the Cardinals will probably trade back at some point in this draft. I think it's very likely.
But at this point, man, you have one of the, you know, best wide receiver prospects we've seen in a very long time sitting at the top of the board. You've got no reason not to take him. I'm going to go with Marvin Harrison junior out of Ohio State. Maserati, Marv. Pretty easy bet. Maserati, Marv.
[00:06:02] Speaker C: Maserati, Marv.
[00:06:03] Speaker A: And again, I think that top four is a pretty easy one. I think it's to go three quarterbacks there and a receiver with, and for the Cardinals to go best player available at Marvin Harrison, unless there is a trade up, obviously, for the Cardinal spot, which I think is likely. But yeah, Marvin Harrison junior is going to be an Arizona cardinal. That leaves you, Elliott, at five.
[00:06:22] Speaker B: I mean, where, where do I, where do I begin with the Los Angeles Chargers? I mean, out of, out of there. There are, there are great off seasons. There are good off seasons. There are off seasons that don't move the needle for me.
[00:06:38] Speaker A: Right.
[00:06:38] Speaker B: And then there are ones that I just don't think are very good.
[00:06:40] Speaker A: Right?
[00:06:41] Speaker B: And then there's the Chargers.
[00:06:42] Speaker A: And then there's the Chargers after all those.
[00:06:44] Speaker B: I don't. I don't understand what they're cooking. I don't know. I don't know what they're doing over there. You let go of your wide receiver. Your wide receiver. One now is Quentin Johnston, which, no.
[00:06:57] Speaker A: Offense to the brother, he's not a wide receiver. One, two or three.
[00:07:01] Speaker B: He shouldn't be on a roster. Okay. I'm sorry. The brother stinks. Okay. They need so many things.
[00:07:10] Speaker A: Right?
[00:07:10] Speaker B: And I feel bad for Justin Herbert because he's just sitting there. No help. They also don't have eckler now. Okay. He's gone, too. So they have, like, no really good offensive skill position players.
[00:07:22] Speaker A: Right.
[00:07:24] Speaker B: I would say that they would probably take a receiver because they need one.
[00:07:30] Speaker A: And also, I mean, still some really good players at this point.
[00:07:33] Speaker B: There are. However, I think they have so many needs, they might take a trade back in order. In order to, like, situation.
[00:07:42] Speaker A: I get that.
[00:07:43] Speaker B: Get a guy down the board. However, I don't know who they would trade with. I don't know where. I don't know where it would be. I'm just gonna go with a wide receiver. Obviously, Maserati Marv is off the board.
I can't think of another, like, clever, like, moniker to go with on my next pick, but it's gonna be Malik. Neighbors.
[00:08:04] Speaker A: There you go. Yeah.
[00:08:05] Speaker B: Maserati Malik.
[00:08:06] Speaker A: Maserati Malik.
I guess Marvin Harrison should get that trademark real quick before Maserati Malik starts.
[00:08:15] Speaker B: Look, if any of these guys are out there listening, I'm getting you guys brand deals right now. Like, just with this. Just, like, off the dome brain spitting.
[00:08:24] Speaker A: Brain spitting brains. I have not heard that before, but good for you, man. All right, then. I mean, I think, honestly, I'd also. Just for reference, I think it's really funny, you know, how you're saying that they kind of need everything right now. I'm using PFF's mock draft simulator to list these picks and keep us a good list down the board. And their team needs are listed as running back, wide receiver, tight end, defensive linebacker, cornerback.
[00:08:49] Speaker B: That's quite literally an entire team besides a quarterback.
[00:08:51] Speaker A: Yes, exactly. And they've got a damn good quarterback. I think that Justin Herbert's a top four, top five quarterback in the league.
What are the Steelers gonna give them?
[00:09:02] Speaker B: Russell Wilson.
[00:09:03] Speaker A: Russell Wilson.
Oh, man.
All right. I guess that leaves Graham with number.
[00:09:09] Speaker C: Six, the New York Giants. Yeah. So they lost Saquon a huge, huge running back loss. Now they got Drew Locke. Now they got Devin Singletary.
[00:09:18] Speaker A: Thank God they have Drew Lockman.
[00:09:20] Speaker C: Yeah, right.
[00:09:22] Speaker B: Honestly, he might be better than Daniel.
[00:09:25] Speaker C: Jones, but I mean, look, so I think we need to give Drew Locke a good skill position player. And so I think we're going to go with Rome O'Donnell.
[00:09:36] Speaker A: Rome O'donse. There you go. That is three receivers in the top six. Three quarterbacks and three receivers in order.
[00:09:43] Speaker C: Little run like clockwork.
[00:09:46] Speaker A: That is going to make the next pick very easy. I do like that Romeo Dunze and Malik neighbors and a lot of other drafts. Those guys are wide receiver ones and so many other drafts. But unfortunately, you know, this is a really elite top three for wide receivers.
[00:09:59] Speaker B: For sure.
[00:09:59] Speaker A: I will say that the Giants are probably.
Giants are probably the first spot that I see Jayden Daniels going, in my opinion, just like when I've mocked him before. I think the Giants also. I think it partially makes sense. I think that dable likes super toolsy guy with Jayne Daniels. But anyway, like, I keep bringing it back to jane nails for some reason, but we got to keep moving on. There goes Romo dunze to the Giants. Serious lack of weapons and just general skill position help in New York. But again, that makes my pick at Tennessee very easy. Joel, for sure, I think this guy's. This guy's one of my favorite tackle prospects I've seen in a while. Six, eight, over 300 pounds. His feet are unreal for a, for a guy that size and tackle or, excuse me, Tennessee needs all the offensive line and just general tackle help they can get. And yeah, I think. I think it's a very easy pick for him.
[00:10:59] Speaker B: For sure. I'm not going to beat the, beat around the bush with this next one. I think it's pretty obvious. Pretty sure. Fire.
I'm going to go with DT 15.
Okay. Dallas Turner. Dallas Turner.
Falcons have a lot of offensive pieces now. At this juncture, they really just need to invest on the defense side of the ball, and I think a good place to start is with that outside linebacker position. I think Dallas Turner gives them that flexibility.
[00:11:27] Speaker A: Right.
They've needed pass rushers forever, man. It feels like they've needed pass rushers for the past five years.
[00:11:32] Speaker B: You're telling me that the shell of Bud Dupree wasn't good enough?
[00:11:36] Speaker A: He was not. You're absolutely right.
[00:11:38] Speaker B: Sealer legends.
[00:11:39] Speaker A: I kind of have an interesting take about this. Obviously, Dallas Turner. There's been so much expressed interest, and it's very likely that he will go there, especially with all his combine numbers. But I think that especially after they get Kirk Cousins in this offseason, I think this makes this team not necessarily win now, but a little bit closer to win now. You know what I mean? They're not exact. When you have a guy like Kirk Cousins who can't stay in that building phase for very long and they've got a lot of incredible skill guys on offense. But I think somebody who could have a better day one impact as an edge rusher is laid out a lot too. I think just from a skill point, you know, from a hands perspective, I think he's significantly better than the Dallas Turner did not test the same, but he's also not a bad athlete.
[00:12:22] Speaker B: No, but this dude's really.
[00:12:24] Speaker A: And a super productive pass.
[00:12:25] Speaker B: They are the two best out of the class, there is no doubt.
[00:12:29] Speaker A: And it's kind of pick your poison. If you want a guy who can become something really special and is an insane athlete, that's Dallas Turner. And if you want a guy who's going to be a little bit more impactful day one, I think it's probably lay out a lot too. But. But yeah. Alrighty. That leaves the bears on the clock.
[00:12:45] Speaker C: Number nine and well, speaking of LA to after the Bears, after we mock draft Caleb Williams getting their quarterback and you know they got DeAndre Swift and Keenan Allen so they focused on the offense. So let's give them layout a lot to help out their defense.
[00:13:03] Speaker A: Him opposite sweat, man. That's gonna be a. I think it's good pick. Elliot, you look. What would you like to add?
[00:13:11] Speaker B: I just. I don't know, man, I just.
I personally, this is just my personal opinion.
[00:13:17] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:13:18] Speaker B: I would give Caleb Williams another receiver at this juncture. Keenan Allen is old. He does get injured sometimes.
[00:13:26] Speaker A: Right.
[00:13:27] Speaker B: So the really the only other like receiver receiver you have on your team is DJ Moore, right. I think you would like to have a very good insurance option. I honestly could not tell you who their wide receiver three is at this point. Yeah, I would personally go with wide receiver.
[00:13:42] Speaker A: I see with their enough at nine and I mean also have edge defenders are talk about positional value. Edge defenders are significantly above receive.
[00:13:52] Speaker B: Do they not have Montez sweat on?
[00:13:54] Speaker A: They do, but I mean who's the other. I mean who's the opposite edge? My point is a really good team as they do have the.
[00:14:00] Speaker B: I understand that they have Montez sweat. Not saying that he's like super elite by any standard, but he's pretty good.
[00:14:05] Speaker A: I think that my main problem with Montez Suetta is. I don't think he can produce as much by himself. I think he'll benefit a lot from another good player on the other side.
[00:14:12] Speaker B: But my point is, they have him. They have Tremaine Edmonds. They have the guy from Philly. I forget what his name is. The inside linebacker. Cause he had signed there last season.
I forgot what his name is. You know what I'm talking about?
[00:14:24] Speaker A: Inside backer from Philly.
[00:14:25] Speaker B: Yes, he came from Philly.
[00:14:28] Speaker A: I don't know. Is he starting there?
[00:14:30] Speaker B: Yeah, I forgot what his name is. I'll have to look it up here in a second. They have Jalen Johnson. They locked him up to a huge contract. Their secondary is looking okay.
[00:14:36] Speaker A: That was a huge. That was a great.
[00:14:38] Speaker B: I just think the offensive side of the ball has really been the anemic one. If anything, I would give Caleb Williams more weapons.
[00:14:46] Speaker A: I guess that's fair. I think. I guess there's two perspectives on it. You can either rather have DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, and then Montez Sweat and Lada Latu, or you can have DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and TJ Edwards. Receiver, too. TJ Edwards, but. Or you can have DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and another good receiver, which I guess that's fair, but I think I value two good edge rushers over three good receivers all day, especially when the receivers counter each other so well, like DJ Moore and Keenan Allen do.
[00:15:15] Speaker B: I just think Williams needs help, man. Cause I just don't think he's number one in the class.
He.
[00:15:20] Speaker A: I mean, he's obviously gonna. He's a, you know, he's gonna be rookie quarterback. He's gonna need help no matter what. But I think even that guy, especially coming out of USC, I'm sure that guy's okay with beefing up the defense. I also think a little pressure off.
[00:15:30] Speaker B: On another juncture before defense probably go o line, and that's not complete.
[00:15:36] Speaker A: Like, there are some good old line pizzas there. Fatanu Fuaga. Even JC Latham would still be there. There are a lot of good pieces. I understand that, but.
Yeah. All right, so at nine, we'll get one more pick in before we go to break. There it goes, lad. A lot to. At nine to the Bears. That leaves me at ten with the Jets. I think this is an easy pick. I think one of the best players in this draft is available.
I want to take Brock Bowers. I think he will fit into that offense perfectly.
I really don't think I have to explain that one too much. That guy's an incredible player.
Ten is also a pretty good value to take a guy like him. A guy who. The only reason you wouldn't take him higher is because of positional value. There's no. No one's complaining about his tape or his combine or anything. He's an unbelievable prospect. But. But, yeah, I would stick with him at ten. With that being said, we'll come back with who would be on the clock. The Vikings are officially on the clock.
[00:16:33] Speaker C: Pick eleven.
[00:16:33] Speaker A: Elliott Miller's Vikings will be back with that pick. He gets a little bit to wait, but for now, enjoy this break.
Hey, everybody. Welcome back to our what would we do 2024 mock draft. We ended up our first section with Brock Bowers going to the jets at number ten. That leaves Elliot in control of the Vikings on the clock.
[00:17:30] Speaker B: Yeah. You know, it's funny because we had a little discussion off air. We did. Obviously didn't we did what could be a fun pick, what maybe people have heard through the grapevine.
[00:17:39] Speaker A: Right?
[00:17:40] Speaker B: Okay. And actually, unironically. Okay, I'm not factoring in any outside opinion. This is what I think this is. This is the pick that I should be.
[00:17:50] Speaker A: If Elliot Miller were the GM of the Minnesota Vikings.
[00:17:53] Speaker B: You know who I'm taking? Martians have the death beam pointed at the earth. Minnesota Vikings have a playoff berth on the line.
[00:17:59] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:18:00] Speaker B: I'm taking JJ McCarthy.
[00:18:03] Speaker A: There he is.
[00:18:04] Speaker B: Yeah. So essentially, think about it. Okay. Justin Jefferson, JJ. Okay.
The JJ to JJ pipeline is going strong. That combo can only be described as butter on toast. Okay?
[00:18:18] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:18:18] Speaker B: That would feed families.
[00:18:20] Speaker A: That would feed. What about JJ McCarthy makes you excited to take.
[00:18:24] Speaker B: I said this whenever you weren't here last week, and I'll say it again, I think that when it comes down to it, there's nothing super elite about him. I understand that he is very much a game manager, but what I will say from an intangible perspective, when the game comes down to it, and he has to make a play, he has to make a throw, he makes the right decisions without creating a turnover. He is able to read defenses, dissect the play and make the proper decision to win his team games. And he did that even against us in the Rose bowl. He made a couple crucial.
Okay. That really extended drives got a really crucial first down. If it was like third and long or something. He has that, I guess, that inner dog in him. Okay. That whenever.
[00:19:06] Speaker A: That was such good analysis for such.
[00:19:08] Speaker B: A long time, you know what? But you know what I mean? Like, whenever it comes down to it, okay. And the game is on the line, he will make the right decision and he will avoid turning the ball over.
[00:19:17] Speaker A: I also, I mean, from a ceiling and floor perspective, I think he's got one of the higher floors of all the quarterbacks.
[00:19:23] Speaker B: Higher floor. The ceiling is relatively low.
[00:19:26] Speaker A: Ceiling is relatively low. But I mean, man, there's a lot of high end prospects in this draft in your Drake May, Jaden Daniels, Caleb Williams, high end prospects. But as a, as a football player, man, JJ McCarthy targets the field a little bit better than almost all those guys or the middle of the field, excuse me, a little bit better than all those guys do. And again, he is patient. He doesn't really put the ball in harm's way very often. And, you know, he's still got some very athletic capabilities. But at the same time, you know, I think especially with the success of Brock Purdy and with a kind of a recent trend in quarterbacks of. They're not necessarily the, I think teams wish there was more game manager y guys available in these drafts because we've seen a recent failure in the past, probably two, two or three years maybe outside of like CJ Stroud.
[00:20:18] Speaker B: And I gotta be honest, some of the game manager guys in the couple, last couple drafts just have not panned out at all.
[00:20:25] Speaker A: But I think change your guys haven't panned out in the past again, like two or three drafts. And that was, that's what may be scaring people a little bit. And maybe they want to go for the guys who are, you know, maybe have a little bit more familiarity with an NFL offense and can anticipate a little bit better even though they can't quite throw as well on the run. I think that if they see anticipation and not putting the ball in harm's way, man, I think those are the first two things that a lot of teams want to draft and I think that is the main reason that JJ McCarthy could go as high as he might in this draft.
[00:20:57] Speaker B: Yeah. I just. I think whenever I think of game managers, something that I really come to because it happened to my team is 2022 class. Kenny Pickett is a game manager. Okay. Very much.
[00:21:06] Speaker A: That was just a bad quarterback class.
[00:21:08] Speaker B: That it is. We're talking about recent history, right? Atrocious. Okay. Didn't pan out and in the same breath. Okay. Desmond Ritter, game manager.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: Right.
[00:21:19] Speaker B: Awful. Sam Howell, game manager. Awful. Matt Corral, UFL legend now. Okay. Like, you cannot make it up. These guys were not game breaking guys. I understand it's historically terrible class and literally no one, except for, like Brock Purdy is on their original team.
[00:21:35] Speaker A: Right.
[00:21:35] Speaker B: Or even succeeding at that rate.
[00:21:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:21:37] Speaker B: But, like, from that perspective, I'm not really sure if it's even the game manager thing. I just think that JJ McCarthy does show some things that you could say, you know what? I might take a chance and draft a guy. Not saying it's going to work out.
[00:21:48] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:21:48] Speaker B: But I think whenever you have a talented, like, offense, like, just specifically, you have Justin Jefferson on your team.
[00:21:53] Speaker A: Yeah. And also. And also Jordan Edison is a really good wide receiver, too, as well.
[00:21:57] Speaker B: Exactly. So there are things there in place for him. I think he can succeed. That's all I'm saying.
[00:22:02] Speaker A: Absolutely. No, it's a. It's a very fair pick at eleven. Yeah, we knew it had to. We knew it had to happen at some point. I would have been surprised if he didn't go anywhere at some point in this mock draft, especially with what we've been hearing. But, yeah, there he goes. He's a Minnesota Viking. Now we've got Graham on the clock with the Denver Broncos.
[00:22:20] Speaker C: Denver Broncos. Oh, boy.
[00:22:23] Speaker B: Trade for Russell Wilson.
[00:22:26] Speaker C: I think they're going to go corner. I think. Yeah, we'll go cornerback here. We'll go Quinon Mitchell.
[00:22:32] Speaker A: Quinyan Mitchell. Toledo.
[00:22:33] Speaker B: Toledo.
[00:22:33] Speaker A: Yeah. That guy's an absolute freak, man. I really like Quinyan Mitchell.
[00:22:37] Speaker B: I actually do not see Quinon Mitchell going higher than 15. I like him. Do you see a different.
I think he's worth going higher than 15. I just don't think anyone's going to take him because he's from Toledo.
[00:22:47] Speaker A: Interesting. So do you think that above him, Degene the Wiggins?
[00:22:52] Speaker B: You know, I think Wiggins has a shot simply just because big school, right?
[00:22:57] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:22:57] Speaker B: Fast, but probably t Arnold.
[00:23:01] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:23:02] Speaker C: Tarry on.
[00:23:02] Speaker B: T Arnold's probably gonna be the first one off the board, strictly off school name. Nate Wiggins is probably the second off the board, in my opinion. Quinon's probably the third. I think Degene is probably number four.
[00:23:14] Speaker A: Getting four.
[00:23:15] Speaker B: Probably the fourth.
[00:23:16] Speaker A: Interesting.
[00:23:17] Speaker B: Depends on what you value.
[00:23:18] Speaker A: I think he goes top three. Cause, yeah, there are teams that would appreciate a slot, plug in, physical guy.
[00:23:24] Speaker B: That Degene could offer if it was actually up to me, if I like, if, like, if my team personally, I would like. The Steelers have Cooper Degene because I think that they need secondary help, both from a safety perspective as well as a cornerback perspective. He could play both. Honestly, Cooper Degene, I think because of his versatility, he also has value as a kick return. Not that the Steelers either. Now they have Corduroy Patterson.
[00:23:42] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:23:43] Speaker B: But he, in my opinion, is worth the top ten pick. I'm just going to be honest.
[00:23:47] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[00:23:48] Speaker B: But anyway, there you go. Cleanliner. Mitchell is off the board.
[00:23:50] Speaker A: Fair enough.
[00:23:51] Speaker C: He's good.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: I like it. Alrighty. Queen and Mitchell, the Broncos. That leaves me with the Oakland Raiders at 13.
[00:24:00] Speaker C: Las Vegas.
[00:24:00] Speaker A: Las Vegas. Wow.
[00:24:01] Speaker B: Send them back to Oakland, man.
[00:24:04] Speaker A: They haven't been Oakland for a long time.
Anyway, so yes, I have the Raiders here at 13. I think this is kind of a weirder pick because don't be wrong. They need quarterback. But if you really. But the question is, are they going to take a quarterback at 13?
[00:24:19] Speaker B: I would not take the ones exactly.
[00:24:22] Speaker A: When McCarthy's gone, Williams, May Daniels, once those guys are all gone, you're sitting at 13.
You know, the value is just not there for quarterback. It's just not. And outside of that, I feel like the Raiders almost always need line help. And again, you can't take quarterback here. You got to kind of factor in the best player available mindset here as well.
But that being said, I think I am going to take Troy Fattanu, the Washington tackle. He's one of my favorite guys on the board. And again. Yeah. With the Raiders, man. Like, so much more has to change with that team before they can really start taking the next step. And again, tackles high, high value position and I leave. I believe that Fatanu is one of the best on the board, but. Yeah.
[00:25:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
So let's head down to Nola. Nola with the Saints, the big e.
Yeah. I'm gonna be so real with you guys. I don't really know Jack Diddley squat about the Saints. What they need.
[00:25:27] Speaker A: Right.
[00:25:27] Speaker B: You know, spitballing here, just kind of thinking about their issues last year.
Certainly had some defensive problems.
[00:25:36] Speaker A: Right.
[00:25:36] Speaker B: Also certainly had some offensive problems.
[00:25:39] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:25:39] Speaker A: Right.
[00:25:39] Speaker B: So, you know, ideally, I'd like to say you would like to have another inside linebacker, but obviously at this juncture, at this pick, you're not going to do that. So that's off the board.
Maybe just on a whim, they might go defensive end. I know that they got Brian Percy in the last draft.
[00:26:00] Speaker A: Yeah. He's more of a.
[00:26:01] Speaker B: But he's more of an inner line guy. I think that they need to have another guy. They still have Cam Jordan.
[00:26:07] Speaker A: Right. He's really getting up there.
[00:26:09] Speaker B: He's also getting up there in age. A little long in the tooth, some may say.
But let's go out of the University of snubs, as they like to call themselves. Jared verse.
[00:26:22] Speaker A: No bias in that one.
[00:26:24] Speaker B: No bias whatsoever.
[00:26:25] Speaker C: Interesting.
[00:26:26] Speaker A: There he goes. I figured he would probably go by now, just kind of, again, the athletic profile and the positional value seemed like he would be gone by now. But, yeah, especially when you have a vet like Cam Jordan who's been as good as long as he has. I think I understand taking a physical beast of an edge who can work with Cam Jordan. Yeah, that's a good pick. There goes Jared, verse 14 for the Saints. That leaves the Colts at 15.
[00:26:54] Speaker C: Yeah, I think it's another team that needs some, some help in the secondary, so I think the Colts. Let's go, Cooper. Degene.
[00:27:02] Speaker A: Cooper de Gene.
[00:27:03] Speaker C: I really like him, and like you mentioned, Elliot, his, he's versatile with that. He can really open up in the return game. He can. He's great at returns, too. So absolutely multi, multi dimensional.
[00:27:14] Speaker A: I would. Yeah, no, I like that. I think my only thing with that pick is that they obviously need help in the secondary, but I do think one of the only things that they don't need help in the secondary is that I think that Kenny Moore has played that spot, and I think he.
[00:27:29] Speaker B: Just, he just got a huge extension.
[00:27:31] Speaker A: He did just get a huge extension, which, that being said, Cooper Jean could also very well be a very good safety.
[00:27:36] Speaker C: Right.
[00:27:36] Speaker A: And so he is one of those guys that if you need help in the secondary, he's kind of the best player available to do that. So I understand that, but, yeah, Cooper Jean going to Indianapolis, that was me with the Seahawks at 16. Now this team needs so much interior line help, I can't even, like, I can't even describe it. And there's a few guys, I think the first two I would consider are Olafishanu, who I think has a very high chance of being a interior guy at the next level, even though he played tackle in college. And then the best guy who played interior line in college would be a Jackson Powers Johnson out of Oregon.
I think that if I'm the Seahawks, I'm going to go Olufanu, because I do think that he offers maybe a little bit more high end versatility with his, with his moving, movement ability, how big he is. I think I'd like him a little bit better in Jackson powers Johnson, but, yeah, I'm going to take Olufushanu to the Seahawks at 16. I believe the Bengals on the clock, or, excuse me, the Jaguars on the clock.
[00:28:39] Speaker B: Jaguars on the clock. I could not pick for the Bengals.
[00:28:42] Speaker A: You cannot pick for the Bengals.
[00:28:43] Speaker B: Just after to delegate that, you know, really, really big hole that I'm seeing on the offense right now.
I'm sure the Falcons are probably still a little upset by that, too, with Calvin Ridley's departure to Tennessee also making sure that Atlanta's pick that they got was lower than what it should have been.
I'm gonna assume they go receiver here. Yeah, I think that's a pretty foregone conclusion.
[00:29:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:29:18] Speaker B: Now the question is, which receiver do they pick? There's a lot of good receivers still on the board. Pretty deep class, but I'm gonna go with another taiga in Brian Thomas.
[00:29:30] Speaker A: It's a great pick.
I'm really interested to see how he pans out at the next level just because there is somewhat of a weird. It's harder to, you know, appreciate guys when they're playing behind someone who just had a bigger role in the offense, whether that's because they were better or just, you know, a lot of reasons.
[00:29:46] Speaker B: Go into that they were worse.
[00:29:47] Speaker A: Exactly. Exactly. But, um. But, yeah, I guess there goes. There was Brian Thomas Junior.
Now, somebody does have to make the Bengals pick. Is Graham.
[00:29:58] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:29:58] Speaker A: At 18?
[00:29:59] Speaker C: Yeah, I think we're looking at defensive line here for the Bengals.
[00:30:02] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:30:02] Speaker C: And if I were them, I go by our Murphy absolutely. AB tax. He could do it all. Yeah, he could do it all, and he could. He can be out there for three downs as well.
[00:30:11] Speaker B: Just really hate that pick.
[00:30:12] Speaker A: I think it's a great.
[00:30:14] Speaker B: Just really hate that in terms of.
[00:30:15] Speaker A: Value and, like, need. I think it's a really good pick for the Bengals.
[00:30:18] Speaker C: Why do you, why do you, why do you hate it?
[00:30:19] Speaker B: Because I don't want to go against him.
[00:30:21] Speaker A: Am I not okay? Yeah, I've already seen enough of him.
[00:30:24] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:30:26] Speaker A: All right, that leaves me with the Rams at 19.
Now, I would have loved to take Cooper Degene here. I just feel like that's a Rams pick. I don't know why. It just feels right in my head.
[00:30:40] Speaker B: Feels like a McVeigh special.
[00:30:41] Speaker A: Exactly. It feels like McVeigh would just. He sees Cooper Jean, he's like, oh, I could put that guy anywhere in the defense. And I feel like he gets excited about.
[00:30:48] Speaker B: Feels like. 50 cent in the candy shop.
[00:30:50] Speaker A: 50 cent in the candy shop.
All right, 19, the Rams.
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with Terry Arnold, man. I think he's gonna interview really well. I think. I think they could absolutely use help in the secondary. And again, I think also, I also think McVeigh's the kind of guy that, you know, if he's got prospects on a similar level, and then one interviews really well and he's impressed with his mentality and his, and his ability to be coachable, then I think, I think he would take Terry Arnold there. And also, Terry Arnold's such a freak athlete. He's one of those guys that you just can feel you can mold into a really, really elite defensive back. But, yeah. Taryn Arnold, the Rams at 19.
[00:31:36] Speaker B: Okay. All right. I mean, I don't hate it. I approve.
[00:31:41] Speaker A: Thanks, man.
[00:31:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:43] Speaker A: Thank God.
[00:31:45] Speaker B: So my team is up next.
[00:31:47] Speaker C: How about that, right?
[00:31:48] Speaker B: That's crazy, isn't it?
[00:31:49] Speaker A: I wonder how that happened.
[00:31:50] Speaker B: How about how. I wonder how that occurred. Interesting how it works. I actually, I really, based on the current state of what we have, I really hate the value with the players that are currently on the board.
[00:32:03] Speaker A: Right.
[00:32:03] Speaker B: In terms of what they need.
[00:32:04] Speaker A: Based on what?
[00:32:04] Speaker B: Like you need specifically based on what they need.
[00:32:07] Speaker A: Right.
[00:32:07] Speaker B: So just due to that fact, just to see how things play out, just be a little quirky and special, I'm going to predict that they trade back. I'm going to flip them with the Minnesota Vikings at 23, move the Vikings up. And you might be asking me who is the apple of the viking's eye right now.
[00:32:27] Speaker A: That's exactly what I'm asking you.
[00:32:29] Speaker B: Yeah. And to be quite honest with you, I think that it was something that they do actually need. And maybe I'm just completely missing the mark here.
[00:32:39] Speaker A: Right.
[00:32:40] Speaker B: I can't think of a really, really, like, solid guard that they have.
[00:32:48] Speaker A: That the Vikings have.
[00:32:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:50] Speaker A: Yeah. Their best. I mean, their best offensive line being darasaw, but he's a tackle.
[00:32:54] Speaker B: Yeah. So I'm going to go with an offensive guard. We're going to go with Zach's inner out of Michigan.
[00:33:00] Speaker A: Interesting. Over, over Jackson Powershell. Interesting. I know he's technically a center, but do what?
[00:33:07] Speaker C: So coming off the major injury.
[00:33:09] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:33:10] Speaker A: Okay, fair enough. He likes a guy. Fair enough. I can't argue that. All right there. Oh, I guess, I wonder what.
Guess I'll be curious to see what the. Because it's just because interior line is such a strange thing to pick in the draft sometimes because you're also considering who can play.
[00:33:26] Speaker B: Yeah, like I'm torn. You know, some people are listed as a center, some people are listening as a guard. You know it.
Yeah.
[00:33:34] Speaker A: Fair enough. He likes his guy and he took him. I can't argue that. That leaves the Dolphins at 21 being controlled by Graham. Of course.
[00:33:42] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:33:42] Speaker A: What are you thinking here?
[00:33:43] Speaker C: I think we're going offensive line here.
I can't remember, have we done Fuaga from Oregon State yet we have not. Okay, there we go.
[00:33:56] Speaker A: Fair enough. That's also a really good pick. Those are both. Those are really good guys there available.
All right.
Yep. Do what, sorry.
[00:34:04] Speaker B: Would you like to round out the set?
[00:34:06] Speaker A: I absolutely would. Let me get, let me get caught up here. Alrighty. That's gonna leave me with Philly at Philly at 22. Now, honestly, I think something that I, I don't think will happen. I think if they hadn't had two, like, perfect defensive tackle drafts in the past two drafts in Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter, I think the field, the Eagles would be licking their chops to take Jean Newton here at 22, just because in every other draft, that dude, Hallie Roseman is either investing in the defensive or the offensive line, the trenches, no matter what. And I kind of have to feel like I have to factor that into my decision making here.
So with that, I am going to go with, I am going to go with Jackson Powers Johnson here for the Eagles.
I don't know if they're going to directly plug in Cam Juergens. I think it's going to work out exactly perfectly. I think that, I think their ideal situation would be keeping him at guard, and if they could plug in JPJ directly after the departure of Jason Kelsey, I believe they would look forward to that, especially when there's not really a linebacker I want to take at this point. You know what I mean? Because if I, I would say they.
[00:35:22] Speaker B: Need secondary help, they.
[00:35:24] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[00:35:25] Speaker B: Yeah. If it was me, I would have sure fire taking a corner.
[00:35:28] Speaker A: But at the same time, though, this is, again, that, that's true. I am kind of blurring the line between what I would do and what the Eagles would do.
[00:35:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, I mean, like, I put myself, I'm trying to put myself in the frame of, like, okay, if I was the GM looking at my team needs, what do I need to do? For me, I need a corner because I don't have as much faith in Adrian Wesley legend Eli Ricks as everyone else seems to have. Okay, fair enough.
[00:35:52] Speaker A: That's fair. They have, like, I see he is a safety, but in terms of secondary help in general, they, did Reese re sign CJ Gardner Johnson. So good for them. But have fun. Yeah, fun. But, yeah, I see, I see, I see where you're coming from with that. And obviously, I mean, with a guy like Nate Wiggins on the board here, I'm sure they would seriously consider that. But I think the value for JPJ is just too good being at 22 and, yeah, I think I'm gonna stick with that, man. I think I'm gonna stick with that.
[00:36:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
That puts my team at 23.
I still don't like the value of really, any of these, if I'm being honest, man. I'm looking at my available players here. You know, I get time on the clock, right? Yeah, I get time on the.
[00:36:47] Speaker A: You get some time on the.
[00:36:48] Speaker B: I do get one. You know what? That seems like a perfect time for a break, actually.
[00:36:51] Speaker A: That seems like a perfect time for the break.
[00:36:52] Speaker B: Look at you.
[00:36:53] Speaker A: You've gotten two straight break picks. Just getting way more time than me and Graham know.
[00:36:58] Speaker C: Guess what? It's also the Minnesota Vikings.
[00:37:01] Speaker A: Do what?
[00:37:02] Speaker C: Also trade 23.
[00:37:05] Speaker A: Just a few picks ago.
[00:37:06] Speaker B: I just traded.
[00:37:06] Speaker A: He traded down from the Steelers.
The program.
[00:37:10] Speaker B: Hey, you know what? You're lagging behind kind of like cam sudden whenever he was getting burned, okay?
[00:37:15] Speaker A: Every game.
[00:37:16] Speaker B: Secondary.
[00:37:16] Speaker A: Every game.
[00:37:17] Speaker B: Every game.
[00:37:17] Speaker A: Yeah. And that's all we're gonna say about Camp Sutton. But with that, we are gonna go right to break. Well, Elliot thinks about his next draft pick.
Hey, everybody. Welcome back. We still have Elliot on the clock, in control of the Pittsburgh Steelers at pick 23 after a trade down with the. With the Vikings a couple picks earlier. But, Elliot, you've had a lot of time to think, dude, I've had a.
[00:38:31] Speaker B: Lot of time to think. And you know what? I've been, I've been sitting here twiddling my thumbs, and I. Cause I just, I just don't know. I really hate picking in, like, the 15 to, like, 25 range.
[00:38:43] Speaker A: Fair enough.
[00:38:44] Speaker B: Because when you get towards the end of the first round, you're like, all right. I basically get to, like, double dip or something. Like, you know, I kind of like double dip here. And then, like, when you're at the top of the draft, right. You're like, oh, like game breaker, right? From 15 to 25, I'm like, well, which, which offensive lineman are you taking? Right. You know, or something like that. You know, it's like, not that any of those players are bad or anything. There's plenty of quality players that have come out, but it's not like the flashy pick. Okay? It's no Maserati, Marv.
[00:39:13] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[00:39:14] Speaker B: Okay.
But you know what? Because I like chaos. I just like shaking things up. Okay? Whenever, like you said earlier, when I see my guy, I'm gonna take him. Okay.
[00:39:28] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:39:30] Speaker B: And you know what's faster than a Maserati? Xavier worthy is faster than Maserati. I'm gonna have the Steelers take them at 23.
[00:39:37] Speaker A: Really? It's an Elliott pick. Is it a Steelers pick?
[00:39:39] Speaker B: I guess definitely not a sealer pick. You know, honestly, like I said, but, you know, it's one of those things. They do need a receiver.
[00:39:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:39:46] Speaker B: I think they need one that has a speed element. Yeah, they don't.
[00:39:49] Speaker A: You have. You had your big ball winner and.
[00:39:51] Speaker B: They already have the contested catch guy. Okay. They have Rams legend Van Jefferson. Okay. They also have Saints legend Marquez Callaway.
[00:40:02] Speaker A: Oh, boy.
[00:40:03] Speaker C: Oh, good.
[00:40:04] Speaker B: Elite roster. And they still have Calvin Austin.
[00:40:07] Speaker A: Right.
[00:40:07] Speaker B: The thing is, I'm fine with, like, having the, like the, the small statured, like, track guy in Calvin Austin. I think he's a good player and all. He was just kind of used as a gadget, maybe a couple plays a game, which I thought was really disappointing. I think they need a guy who can make both contested catches with a small frame as well as having game breaking speed. Okay. I think Xavier worthy offers both of those. Actually, I would not be surprised if the Steelers double dipped at wide receiver in the draft.
[00:40:37] Speaker A: Okay, interesting. Okay.
[00:40:38] Speaker B: Instead of going at like two and four, which is kind of like their bread and butter, I'm taking one at one. I'm sure they would take one probably in like the third or fourth rounds. Probably think like a Ricky pearsall or something like that.
[00:40:48] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, no, fair enough. Again, Phil, feel Phil's. It's probably high for Xavier Worthy just in the context of the actual draft, but you never know.
[00:40:56] Speaker B: But like, when did they pick again? I don't remember. When they pick again, it's like 50 something. It's like, it's. Yeah, it's like, like mid late fifties.
[00:41:03] Speaker A: Fair enough. Yeah, I can respect that. All right, well, there goes aviator worthy at 23 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Graham, that leaves you with the Cowboys. Yeah. Sitting at 24 on the clock.
[00:41:17] Speaker B: How can they screw it up?
[00:41:18] Speaker A: How can they screw it up?
[00:41:20] Speaker C: I know, right?
Look, I think we got to go offensive line here. I mean, Tyron Smith leaving. They got their center Tyler Beatus leaving. So I think we got to go offensive line.
So we'll go. We'll go with JC Layton.
[00:41:35] Speaker A: There you go.
[00:41:36] Speaker B: I think they need a quarterback, man.
[00:41:39] Speaker A: Fair enough.
I I. For. Did we have that dialogue? Was that me and you talking about Dak Prescott? Did you take quarterback?
[00:41:50] Speaker B: Did you see the report that the quote landing spot. This is completely tangential, but, but it's related. You see that there's a report that the cut, that a landing spot after this season, if Dak does not sign another contract with the Cowboys, is the Steelers. No, this was a legitimate report by someone at, like, esp.
I was like, yeah, man, that's really cool, bro.
I'd rather take Kenny Pickett back.
[00:42:14] Speaker A: I'd rather take Kenny Pickett back, man. All right, that leaves me. And again, Elliot, kind of, like you said, a lot of teams in this 2020, about 15, something like that's 25. A lot of neo line. A lot of line available, to be fair. But that leaves me with the packers. And the Packers, I think especially with.
Especially with Mister David Bhaktiari no longer on the team, it makes that tackle room especially dry. Obviously, I think they need talent just kind of across the board, the offensive line, but because they need a guy who can kind of be a tackle and someone who I think can also just be a tackle off the bat.
I'm gonna go with Grand Barton. I think the grand Barton's slightly less of a project than Amerius mims is. And, you know, again, that really is a preference thing. If you want a guy who's going to plug. Who's going to plug in now and you want to win a few games, that is. I believe that's grand Barden. But Mary Simms has huge upside. That guy is an absolute freak at the tackle position. But yeah, I'm going to roll with Graham Barden at 25 to the packers.
[00:43:23] Speaker B: All right, I have the Buccaneers next.
And you know, they're on the. They're on. They're on the. Come up. Okay, south. You know, they resign. Shake and bake. What are they cooking in the kitchen? Probably some brisket. Cause I'm gonna go to the chopping block with Chop Robinson.
[00:43:39] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh.
[00:43:40] Speaker A: Bar.
[00:43:41] Speaker B: That was a bar.
[00:43:42] Speaker A: There goes Chop Robinson, man.
[00:43:43] Speaker B: But you know what? I think that they need to add a little bit more on defense. They lost some guys on defense. I think part of it starts with pass rush.
[00:43:50] Speaker A: Right.
[00:43:51] Speaker B: I think that a lot of times they got themselves in bad situations just because they did not have enough pressure on the quarterback. They put too much pressure on their linebackers as well as their corners.
[00:44:00] Speaker A: Right.
[00:44:00] Speaker B: And their safeties. I think that's probably the best situation for them. I know that. I believe they had one of their inside linebackers resigned. Was it. Was it David that resigned? Or was it the other one? Was it white? I think it was Devon White, actually was white.
[00:44:15] Speaker A: No whites. Whites and.
[00:44:17] Speaker B: No, no. That's right. White's an eagle. It was. It was then David, then it was. Yeah, David resigned. I know that they brought back their safety.
[00:44:26] Speaker A: Winfield.
[00:44:27] Speaker B: No. Well, yes, but also, there's the other one played for the New York jets the past couple years. He even hails from the University of Pittsburgh. I don't know why his name escapes me. Jordan Whitehead.
[00:44:41] Speaker A: Jordan Whitehead.
[00:44:42] Speaker B: Jordan Whitehead.
[00:44:43] Speaker A: Right, right.
[00:44:43] Speaker B: Okay. So I think that they did bring some guys back there in the secondary and kind of like in the linebacker space.
[00:44:48] Speaker A: Right.
[00:44:50] Speaker B: I think they do need to have more of a pass rush presence, though. I know they took collagenty last year.
[00:44:54] Speaker A: Right.
[00:44:55] Speaker B: I think that they can add to that front.
[00:44:57] Speaker A: Right? There you go. Good pick.
[00:45:00] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:45:00] Speaker A: All right. Cardinals, 27.
[00:45:03] Speaker C: Yeah. So I think this is a very interesting pick. I think you could probably go multiple different ways. Obviously, we've already gotten Maserati Marv earlier, so I think we'll go edge. We'll go edge. And we will go with Chris Braswell.
[00:45:19] Speaker A: Chris Braswell. There he goes.
[00:45:21] Speaker B: Really high.
This seems like. This seems like very. If you thought that Xavier worthy was high, this is also very high.
[00:45:30] Speaker A: I would agree. I don't think because positional value, it's probably a little bit different. I also, for me, I'm personally a big fan of Darius Robinson. The Missouri guy, obviously love Chris Braswell, but I'm sure that Alabama, that Alabama helmet sure has done. Done him a few favors at points. But, yeah, regardless, though, I think it's kind of a not a can't go wrong pick, but picking Reg in the first round, you know, it's just something that every team needs, but, yeah. All right, so there goes Chris Braswell. That leaves me with the Bills at 28. And for the Bills, man, I am a. I am a big fan of ad Mitchell. That guy is crazy talented, crazy athletic at six four, George Pickens. Light George Pickens. I'm not going to say that, but regardless, I mean, talk about speed, catch point. He's also a pretty, very natural route runner, too. I think this guy can good. Be really good. And I really do think that the. I think everyone for a long time has just said that all the Bills have Stefan Diggs, and because Gabe Davis had a few, has a crazy explosive game every once in a while that people don't think that receiving core needs help. I also believe in Khalil Shakir, by the way. I think he's a very good player, and I think he's gonna have an increased role this next season. But I think that ad Mitchell again plays a different role. Khalil Shakir does. And I think he would plug into that offense really, really well. But, yeah, I'm gonna go ad Mitchell at 28 to live off low pills.
[00:47:03] Speaker B: Okay, this is kind of a little sense of a little bit of irony here.
[00:47:09] Speaker A: A little bit. We have. We have Elliott, at 29, controlling Graham's Detroit Lions.
[00:47:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm sure he's gonna have a scowl on his face whenever I screw up their game with his next pick.
[00:47:19] Speaker C: Don't do it on purpose.
[00:47:21] Speaker A: Don't do it on purpose.
[00:47:22] Speaker B: I don't know, man. Maybe I'm just feeling. I'm just. Maybe I'm feeling sinister.
[00:47:26] Speaker C: Okay, don't say something crazy.
[00:47:28] Speaker B: Please don't say something crazy. Well, if I had to put myself in Brad Holmes shoes, right?
[00:47:35] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:47:35] Speaker B: I'm sitting there at Ford Field, up in the box. I'm watching my team lose and blow a lead to the 49 ers. Okay.
And I'm like, man, you know what I need, dude? I just really need a corner pack.
[00:47:51] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:47:52] Speaker C: Oh, my God.
[00:47:53] Speaker B: But, you know, there's just so many other players, you know? I mean, they're just so. Just.
[00:47:58] Speaker C: Man, don't tell me you're gonna go in a different direction.
[00:48:01] Speaker B: What?
[00:48:01] Speaker A: Like, man, like, I mean, come on.
[00:48:04] Speaker B: I mean, I have. I have Jamir Gibbs, but I just never use them. I might as well get another running back.
[00:48:09] Speaker A: You're just playing, you know?
[00:48:11] Speaker B: Like, I I. Maybe I. Maybe I need another tight end, you know?
[00:48:15] Speaker C: Right, right.
[00:48:18] Speaker B: But if I'm Brad Holmes, I think the obvious pick here, even though I think there are two better corners on the board. Okay, okay.
So let me list those corners real quick. The ones I do not think are going at this pick.
[00:48:31] Speaker A: Okay. What you think are better.
[00:48:33] Speaker B: Nate Wiggins.
[00:48:34] Speaker A: Right.
[00:48:35] Speaker B: And Ennis rake straw junior.
[00:48:37] Speaker A: Right.
[00:48:37] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:48:38] Speaker B: The cornerback that they will take is Kool Aid McKenstree.
[00:48:43] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:48:43] Speaker B: And it's simply due to the Alabama pipeline. They already took Brian Branch. Okay.
[00:48:49] Speaker C: Jamir Gibbs.
[00:48:50] Speaker B: They already have Jamir Gibbs. Okay, so let's just add to the. Let's just add to the party. Okay?
[00:48:54] Speaker A: Right?
[00:48:54] Speaker B: Bring the drinks. They're bringing the Kool Aid.
[00:48:57] Speaker C: No, no, look, I agree with that. I'd be happy with any of those three, to be honest with you. I don't think that's right. Really? Something that you can ultimately.
[00:49:08] Speaker A: Use is a successful press corner.
[00:49:10] Speaker C: Right.
[00:49:11] Speaker B: Koolaid.
[00:49:12] Speaker A: That's his best, right? Best.
[00:49:14] Speaker B: I just think if it was my team, I'd be a little bit, like, in the back of my mind, be like, oh, yeah, you could have taken, like, Nate Wiggins, man. You know, I just. That's just my personal opinion. Not saying that Kool Aid is going to be worse than Nate Wiggins in the league. Not saying he's going to be less successful. That's just my opinion. Pretty draft.
[00:49:30] Speaker A: Yeah, fair enough. All right. Baltimore Ravens.
[00:49:37] Speaker C: Yeah. So I think their offensive line got decimated in this offseason. They lost a lot of key pieces, so I think they, they gotta sort of reshape that, so.
Mmm.
That's it. All right. I'm in between two here.
All right. He's probably a project. I think this may or may not be a coin flip. I guess. I guess we'll go with Amerius Mims.
[00:50:03] Speaker A: There you go. Amerius mims to the Ravens. Fair enough.
[00:50:07] Speaker B: Never in a million years would I see them taking Marius mims, but Georgia.
[00:50:10] Speaker A: Pipeline still got Todd Monkin over there.
Maybe he likes him. No.
[00:50:16] Speaker B: I mean, yeah. He's just not gonna see the light of day.
[00:50:21] Speaker A: Not.
That's funny. You know, I think would be kind of a fun pick for the ravens at. At 30.
This may, this may sound absolutely ridiculous, but I think that just for his who the type of player he is, I think if lad McConkie became a.
[00:50:39] Speaker B: Raven, dude, I'd actually be so pressed. I'd actually be so mad about that.
[00:50:43] Speaker A: I'm saying, man, like, I think lad McCock is a pretty good player, and I think the way his game fits into that offense really well, I'd be pressed. And again, Todd Monkin's very used to plugging in Lad McConkie.
[00:50:55] Speaker C: For sure, for sure, for sure.
[00:50:57] Speaker A: So, yeah, I think that would be a fun one there, but Mary Simms is probably the better positional value pick.
But, yeah, that leaves me with the San Francisco 49 ers, and this one's a little bit interesting just because, you know, they, they're a pretty, pretty good team. A very complete team.
Had Amerius mims been on the board, I probably would have taken him. I would still consider taking Tyler Guyton, but I think the fact that Nate Wiggins is available here, I think you have to go with him.
You know, it's just, again, one of the situations you do kind of need a cornerback here and there, and it's hard to turn down at pick.
[00:51:36] Speaker B: Totally agree.
[00:51:36] Speaker A: 31.
[00:51:37] Speaker B: You know, honestly, at 32, I'm going to double you up on that one. And in fact, we miscounted because.
[00:51:42] Speaker A: Please tell me you're taking who I think you're taking.
[00:51:44] Speaker B: I'm going to take who you think you take. But you know what? I think that we should. We should do this. We're going to finish round one on this pick. I think that it's only. Right, you start the next round again.
[00:51:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:51:52] Speaker B: Okay. With the next one.
[00:51:53] Speaker A: And then I'll just go get. And then I'll just do with that one pick and then we'll just do.
[00:51:56] Speaker B: The one pick and then we'll on our way out of here. I'm taking Ennis Rakeshra Junior.
[00:52:00] Speaker A: Oh, wow. That's not who I thought you were taking. Really on the board, man. The Chiefs need defensive line help. They need defensive.
[00:52:07] Speaker B: They got rid of legerious sneed. That's.
[00:52:10] Speaker A: They still have. I mean, don't be wrong. I know they got rid of him, but that's still a pretty talented secondary. And Chris Jones is, don't get me wrong, such a good player. But we have Jerzan Newton is such a good prospect. He's a great prospect and they need defensive line help and he's still on the board.
[00:52:26] Speaker B: No disrespect whatsoever. They need a cornerback.
[00:52:28] Speaker A: Fair enough. It's your pick. I can't. I can't argue it.
So there, there goes Nishrack straw.
[00:52:34] Speaker B: You know what?
[00:52:34] Speaker A: You can take that leave.
Well, I'm not gonna do that now, but that leaves me with the Panthers at 33. They obviously 39 as well. Okay, I think the ideal scenario here is either Peyton Wilson or Lad McConkie here. And then those two guys, you flip flop those at 33 or 39. I think that's a really good two picks to make in this draft.
[00:52:56] Speaker B: Hayden Wilson at 33 is crazy because. No, I don't think it is. No, he is. He is by far a first round talent. But because of the injury history, he's definitely a bona fide third or fourth round pick, right?
[00:53:09] Speaker A: I don't. I don't know, man.
[00:53:11] Speaker B: This guy's interviewed well. He tested well.
[00:53:14] Speaker A: You could wait. You could probably wait.
[00:53:15] Speaker B: You can wait, people. Probably.
[00:53:17] Speaker A: You probably could wait. But my main point.
[00:53:19] Speaker B: Take your guy. You like your guy, take your guy.
[00:53:21] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly.
[00:53:22] Speaker B: That's right. No, I.
[00:53:23] Speaker A: Main point being at 33 slash though 39. A combination of lad McConkie and Peyton Wilson I would be a big fan of.
Anyway, I guess that's going to close out our mock draft with a few bonus second round picks courtesy of the Carolina Panthers. But just to let me have some fun since both you guys got to pick. Well, I guess Grant didn't get to pick for the Lions, but I picked.
[00:53:44] Speaker B: The guy he was going to pick, ok? I did him a solid, ok?
[00:53:47] Speaker C: I would have done Nate Wiggins or tarry on Arnold.
[00:53:50] Speaker A: Fair enough. Fair enough.
[00:53:51] Speaker B: Taran Arnold was on the board.
[00:53:52] Speaker A: He was not, but it's okay.
[00:53:53] Speaker C: My bad.
[00:53:54] Speaker A: Fair enough. All right, well, with that full mock draft completed, I'm sure we'll do another one before this draft comes back up, but, yeah. Thank you, everyone, so much for listening. And everyone have a fantastic week.
