00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:05.759
Welcome Back, Cover one Draft Weekly. John Helmcamp, my buddy Daniel in
2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:12.759
harms Way aka the Walking Trap aka
Danny Deltoyd's I don't know whatever you want
3
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:15.199
to call them. So, buddy, how you doing? You know,
4
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.000
I'm doing fantastic, And we'll figure
out a nickname for both of us.
5
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:20.559
As soon as we get this going
a little bit longer, We're gonna meet
6
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.839
up at the Senior Bowl, get
a little bit of in person experience.
7
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:27.160
It's gonna be great. But honestly, I'm on cloud nine. Michigan.
8
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.719
My team won the national championship on
Monday, y'all. They did it.
9
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:34.719
They pull out the victory. Honestly, going into the game against Alabama,
10
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:40.000
I was like a hurt Michigan fan. I knew like this was all for
11
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:44.119
Michigan to lose to Alabama. And
then into the fourth quarter I'm sitting here
12
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:47.640
watching, I'm like, yeah,
this is exactly what it feels like every
13
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:52.240
single year. And then oh wait, wait for it. McArthur hits a
14
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.479
couple of passes, they run,
they get the touchdown, they go to
15
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.359
overtime. Things kind of change from
there. I think they really believed they
16
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:02.320
could win the National championship after they
beat Alabama, and I believe too,
17
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:07.879
so getting to watch that game,
really wasn't too worried about it, even
18
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.599
going into the second half with Washington
getting the ball back. But I'm doing
19
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.519
fantastic. How you doing, man? How you doing? I'm hanging in.
20
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.840
You know. It was a little
bittersweet for me being a Oregon born
21
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.319
and raised PAC twelve group on the
PAC ten. Yeah, you know,
22
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:29.079
like I've loved it so to see
the finale of the conference essentially by all
23
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:34.799
aspects, come down to a pretty
rough loss in the NATTI. They made
24
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.760
it interesting there, like you said, around the late second quarter, going
25
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.560
into halftime, coming out, but
it really wasn't much in question that Michigan
26
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.239
pretty much dominated this game. And
if you guys are listening to the show,
27
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.920
and this is your first time listening
to the show, go back and
28
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:55.120
listen to last week's because we previewed
it and Daniel was on the crystal Ball
29
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.640
saying exactly what Michigan needed to do, and they did all of those things.
30
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:01.799
What were the keys? What was
it you said last week? It
31
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.840
was pretty cut and dry in my
opinion. I told everyone, would they
32
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.039
be able to run the football.
What do they do if they come out
33
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.159
They rip off forty plus yard touchdown
runs to Donovan Edwards, a fifty plus
34
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.280
er from you know, from Blake
Horum, and then it was complimentary football.
35
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:21.120
Playing defense put a lid on the
Washington offense, forced them to go
36
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.280
down the field in methodical drives,
something that they hadn't done all season long,
37
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.560
and they got frustrated. We saw
Michael Pennix Junior miss passes that he
38
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.840
never misses, that he never misses. And when you're changing the picture,
39
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.960
I didn't expect them to be changing
the picture post snap as much as they
40
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:46.280
did. To be able to do
that from a college defense, that is
41
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.120
a lot of faith and trust in
your players. So what they did for
42
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.960
that entire week, Mintor gets a
ton of credit for being able to basically
43
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:59.000
bring out a brand new game plan. You know, you got one game
44
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.360
that's changed everything and make it so. We rely on the intelligence of these
45
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.520
players and make it so again.
They have to make the right decisions,
46
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.439
be in the right spots, and
nearly every time they were. There were
47
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.639
a couple guys that got open.
You saw some of the miscommunications that did
48
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.199
tend to happen when you're putting in
like a brand new defensive playbook. Romo
49
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:21.719
Dunese got deep, got got got
them deep a couple of times and miss
50
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.159
you know, he missed them.
The interest in the h oh, not
51
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.360
the interception, but that was that
was a little different. But the uh,
52
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:30.759
the hold. I know people are
mad about the hold. He did
53
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.639
hook him. I get it.
I understand that it was frustrating. There
54
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.840
was some tiki tack of calls in
this game. Let's be honest. This
55
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.159
was a big oh, kind of
a weird officiated officiated game. But at
56
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.199
the end of the day, I
think even with those plays, if they
57
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:49.879
had gone Washington's way, this Michigan
defense in the red zone was nails.
58
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.159
They had the one touchdown drive,
but they were nails. They were getting
59
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.560
after and they were They weren't just
getting after Michael Pennix. They were hitting
60
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.520
him. That was something he hadn't
dealt with all season. There was one
61
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.120
guy on the offensive line of Washington
that did not struggle, and it was
62
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.280
Troy Fonton. Whoever wants to put
in the inside No, he was fantastic
63
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:11.800
at left tackles Washington. He's a
left tackle. I've come around to that
64
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.240
I originally was thinking, Ah,
maybe you kick him inside and stuff like
65
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.519
that. But the more that I
watch him and see him stand up at
66
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:21.279
the left tackle position, now he's
the starting left tackle in the NFL all
67
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.040
day long. There's a couple of
things. I do want to give Washington
68
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:29.480
some credit though, instead of just
being on here and bashing them, they
69
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.399
fought hard, great season, phenomenal
season that they were able to put together
70
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.160
Michigan. Like you said, they
came out and they ripped off long runs
71
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:42.160
early in this game. Both Donovan
Edwards and Blake Corum went him early.
72
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.240
They finished the game the Michigan as
a team with three hundred and three rushing
73
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.079
yards. Three hundred and three.
That's a silly number. However, as
74
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:55.199
the game went on, as it
got into the second quarter, Washington's defense
75
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.480
really started to make some adjustments.
They did a really good job of limiting
76
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.759
those big play They did everything they
could to try to give PENNICKX a chance
77
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.199
to get back into it. But
that Michigan defense was relentless, and like
78
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:12.000
you were saying, the pressure the
quarterback hits everything that he was enduring throughout
79
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.240
that game. By the end of
it, I was like oh Man just
80
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:20.879
pull him out like he looked like
he was just keeled over every single play.
81
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.319
And I know he's a gritty competitor
and there's no way he would ever
82
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.000
come out of the game. It's
but just my feelings watching it, I'm
83
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.519
just like, God, you might
have to save him from himself here.
84
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.160
But it's the National Championship. You
go all out, you leave it,
85
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.720
You'll leave it out there, I
understand, but man, Michigan was just
86
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.600
relentless to him, getting after him
time and time again. So one thing
87
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:46.439
I want to talk about some of
the top prospects in this game. National
88
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.600
Championship is over. It is strictly
NFL Draft for these kids from now on.
89
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:54.319
There's no more there's no more game
tape other than Senior Bowl and other
90
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.480
than you know, Shrine Bowl and
some stuff like that. But competitive football,
91
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.759
it's it's all said and done.
So was there anyone in this game
92
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.680
that you thought stood out in terms
of having a really good performance that might
93
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.639
to help their stock a little bit
or did anyone take a step backwards?
94
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.120
Yeah, I think that we kind
of hit on it a little bit earlier.
95
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.399
Troy Pontno, who who was again
fantastic in this game. I do
96
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.480
think he opened up a lot of
people's eyes because, like you and I
97
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.360
were just mentioning, he was the
topic of conversation of just we're going to
98
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:26.120
put him on the inside. We
don't really know much about his ability to
99
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.839
hold up to the NFL style defensive
ends, but I think what we saw
100
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.680
on Monday was that he can handle
it. Like Michigan's power everywhere up front
101
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:42.040
was demonstrated in one of the best
offensive lines that college football has to offer.
102
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:43.959
And I know it was through the
Pac twelve. People will say,
103
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.600
well, it was the Pac twelve
defenses. I understand all that, but
104
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.120
every single week you have to come
to play like you have to be able
105
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:53.480
to keep Michael Pennix Junior up,
and they did all season long until this
106
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.680
game. And I think the power
of the speed, the athleticism of Michigan's
107
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.959
front was on full display. And
Troy did not blink. He didn't blink
108
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.079
at once. And he has been
projected as more of a Day two guy.
109
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.720
This tackle class is really really deep, it's really really good, and
110
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:11.639
he's going to test extremely well.
He's a great athlete and when you get
111
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:13.879
down in the red zone. I
watch it when I'm watching his tape.
112
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:15.759
I noticed I mentioned this last week
too, that he's a road grader in
113
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.680
the red zone, Like he's not
one of these offensive linemen that is purely
114
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:24.279
a pass protection specialist and kind of
gets in the way in the run blocking
115
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.800
department and through like in between the
twenties, he's still a good run blocker,
116
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.480
but when they get into the red
zone, he turns a switch and
117
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:35.720
he gets on people and drive blocks
down the field. I love the vertical
118
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:40.040
push that he gets. So when
I was watching him back again in this
119
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.759
game, I'm just like, there's
there's no question anymore. Like I was
120
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.839
never on the kick him inside train. But it's nice to have that positional
121
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:51.519
flexibility because he does offer that he's
gonna if you have tackles and you draft
122
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:55.079
this guy, you have, well, he can play tackle, but we
123
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.720
can also kick him inside and have
that positional flexibility, which really NFL teams
124
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.480
love. Right now, you know, Peter Kronsky last year going to the
125
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.680
Titans like he's got positional flexibility,
can do whatever they want to with him.
126
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:09.600
He offers that, and I think
that it could have bumped him up
127
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.920
into the first round after his performance
in the National Championship. Yeah, I
128
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.160
don't hate that at all. I
think it's entirely possible that he can give
129
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.279
in the first round. Like you
said, the flexibility is huge. There.
130
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.600
There's one thing that NFL teams can
never have too much of, and
131
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:30.040
it's a good offensive lineman. Yes, so if I don't care if the
132
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:31.279
guy's got to wait in the wings
for a little bit, if you draft
133
00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:35.919
whatever, you can never have too
many offensive liignment injuries happen. Like you
134
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.320
said, positional flexibility, having someone
that can kick inside or be your starting
135
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.960
left tackle, He's going to be
a really intriguing prospect. I feel for
136
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.679
I feel for Penix because, Yeah, going into last week's game, I
137
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.519
was talking about him, I was
hyping him up. I'm thinking he's got
138
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.240
the tools to potentially be a top
ten draft pick. I know he has
139
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:01.039
some weaknesses in his game, throwing
to the middle the field something that he
140
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.480
kind of struggles with a little bit, but those out routes, his ability
141
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.960
to drive the ball downfield and pinpoint
placement and with just a rocket of an
142
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.200
arm. I was hoping that he
would come out and he would show out
143
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.399
on the biggest stage against this great
Michigan defense and really help his his stock.
144
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.000
It's similar, I feel like to
last year. We wanted to see
145
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.039
how CJ. Stroud was gonna perform
going against Georgia. He gave it everything.
146
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.879
They lost that game. He played
incredible. Penix unfortunately didn't do that.
147
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.080
I don't know, one game does
not make a prospect, but he
148
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.039
didn't do himself any favors in this
pre draft process with that National championship,
149
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.879
throwing two picks, missing on some
throws that he typically hits on. So
150
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.720
Michael Penix is one that I feel
for see. I think when I was
151
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.639
watching that again, like this is
this is kind of who Michael Pennix is.
152
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.480
And that was I know people were
really gassing him up. And I
153
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.799
love the performance against Texas. It
was fantastic. The big difference between Texas
154
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.519
defense is Michigan defense is because Michigan
again put an umbrella on the offense and
155
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:07.519
they said beat us down the field. Throw against Will Johnson, and he
156
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.240
gave Roman Nuns a battle that battle. He was great, was amazing,
157
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.720
but Rome was too, like don't
He caused a couple of holds, a
158
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.240
couple of pass interference plays, like
Rome's legit prospect of going against the guy
159
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.440
who's again as sophomore, but he's
going to be a legit corner in the
160
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.639
NFL. And that was so much
fun to watch. And Michael Pennix again,
161
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.039
I'll say this, when you get
him off a spot, he has
162
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.919
a tendency to be erratic with his
throws, and he showed that again.
163
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.320
The gutsiness to stand inside the pocket, to still try to get through his
164
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.159
reads and deliver the ball to wherever
he could get it to and taking hits
165
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.240
is not it. You know,
I loved I love to see it.
166
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.080
It's not lost on me. It's
takes guts to stand in that pocket and
167
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.519
get hit over and over and over
again by guys who are dominating the interior
168
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:00.519
offensive line. So this, well, if you guys listen the last week's
169
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:01.679
show, this is kind of how
I felt about Michael Pennix. I didn't
170
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.799
think he'd be a top ten pick
even with his performance, just because it's
171
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.159
some of the things that aren't his
faults. He's just not the best athlete
172
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.559
in the world. And if you
can push him off a spot every now
173
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.759
and then move him to the right
and get him uncomfortable. He does have
174
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.879
a tendency to spray it. But
I'm more interested to hear what you think
175
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.120
about JJ McCarthy, because again,
this is the second game in a row
176
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.759
where we've had a conversation about the
Michigan quarterback and we're sitting here like,
177
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:31.679
what is what are we gonna do? What are we gonna do with this
178
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:37.879
guy? I still have no idea. It's the same as entering last week.
179
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:43.480
His highs are crazy high, his
lows are crazy low. He's all
180
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.240
over the place. I mean,
god, it kind of reminds me of
181
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.039
Carson Wentz in the NFL a little
bit, like sometimes we'll make these beautiful
182
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:56.200
athletic plays and throw a frozen rope
over layering it between, you know,
183
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:00.240
defenders and just beautiful stuff, and
then sometimes it's like, what are you
184
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:05.200
do win? I still don't know, And at this point today we're recording
185
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.279
on Thursday, January eleventh, he
has not announced if he's declaring for the
186
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.919
draft or not. I kind of
hope he comes back. I hope that
187
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.039
he stays in Michigan for one more
year and try to polish that up a
188
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.200
little bit and help himself, because
as of right now he's He's not a
189
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.600
first round pick, not not even
close. So, but with another year,
190
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.799
next year's draft class, the quarterbacks
does not look particularly strong. Quinn
191
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.519
Ewers might be the quarterback one in
that draft class, or should her Sanders.
192
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.799
It's not this year. It's not
dealing with the Caleb Williams Drake may
193
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.000
So if he goes back, he
could see himself a top three pick next
194
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:45.159
year if he if he cleans some
stuff up and polishes it and has a
195
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.399
really great season, I think it
would. I think it would serve him
196
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.279
well, go back and continue to
work on that. You know, for
197
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:54.960
me, one of the big takea
first and foremost, I want to committee
198
00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:00.440
for bringing up will Johnson, who
sophomore true sophomore balled out. We will
199
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.039
be talking about his name this time
next year. Absolutely, yeah, there's
200
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.480
no question about it. Going back
to that game, Donovan Edwards ripping off
201
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.600
multiple long touchdown runs. It's like, bro, where have you been all
202
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.559
year? Because this is a prospect
that the traits I love and I've been
203
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.440
wanting to see more of him.
You know, Blake Korum, he clearly
204
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.120
is the lead back in that backfield. I like Blake Korum a lot.
205
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.120
I know he's undersized, but he
makes people miss in about this much space.
206
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.559
He's incredible. But Donovan Edwards also
looks like a guy that could serve
207
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.840
a role at the NFL, and
those massive explosive runs maybe helped him out
208
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.080
a little. I don't disagree at
all. I think he reminds me of
209
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.559
like Isaiah Pacheco that can catch passes, they can run rounds like that's kind
210
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.440
of how it feels. He's a
bowl in the China chot, but he's
211
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.759
very much more of a vertical runner. He will one cut one, put
212
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:52.200
his foot in the dirt, get
up field. We saw a little bit
213
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.600
of the vision again to see that
cutback lane. I know everyone I saw
214
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.360
the screenshots. Why isn't he running
there? First? Well, that's not
215
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.200
how run plays. They're designed.
It's designed to go to the left.
216
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.960
But then you're like, oh,
hey, look a cutback line, and
217
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.720
I'm not that's what That's what Zoe
running is. That's exactly what it is,
218
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:13.720
right that you're blocking it up where
everyone's flowing and you're either picking if
219
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.320
I'm going to continue or if I
have a cutback lin where I can get
220
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.399
yourself and he did that time and
time again and got upfield in a hurry.
221
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.799
And he's not a small dude.
He's six one two ten, so
222
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.879
he's got size for the NFL.
It's legitimately NFL sized. Like going back
223
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.279
to watch him against Ohio State the
last couple of seasons when Blake Korm got
224
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.639
hurt. Last year when he came
in, he was a dominant player.
225
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.240
As a sophomore, he was a
dominant running back. So he dominated that
226
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:41.639
football game. And he's gonna put
himself out there. I do think he's
227
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.919
going to declare because he showed once
again that all it takes is that little
228
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.399
bit of daylight, the size,
the speed. But again, the past
229
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.399
catching ability is so valuable and he
you know, played with a club on
230
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:56.639
his hand for most of the end
of last year. He had a broken
231
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:00.720
hand and he was still out there
trying to catch pass and stuff like that.
232
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.200
So that's kind of cool to see
that he was able to do that.
233
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:07.960
So he definitely helped himself out with
this performance in the National Championship on
234
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.919
the biggest stage. He and Blake
Korm are going to be very interesting for
235
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.120
the drafts draft process. We're going
to see Blake korm at the Senior Bowl.
236
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.440
Can't wait to see that. I'm
excited about these running backs because they're
237
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.840
gonna help help teams in the NFL. They are, They're very valuable.
238
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.960
Before we get off the college level, can we just talk about how Michigan
239
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.639
made Nick Saban retire. I mean, I'm not going to have them take
240
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:37.519
credit for it. It just so
happens that he retired after losing to Michigan.
241
00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.679
His very last game as a head
coach will be losing to Michigan in
242
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.440
overtime. That's gonna taste a little
bit better. Yeah, reminds me of
243
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:48.639
Tom Brady's last game in New England. He threw a pick on his last
244
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:54.240
pass as a Patriot against the Titans. Reminds me of that. So let's
245
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:56.120
tar the page a little bit to
the NFL draft. We now know the
246
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:02.279
top five picks are locked in.
We have Chicago at number one, Washington
247
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:07.120
Commanders at number two, New England
Patriots at number three, Arizona Cardinals at
248
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.080
number four, and the Los Angeles
Charges are at number five. We're gonna
249
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:15.080
stick kind of in that top five
for range Man. We talked about Nick
250
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.679
Saban leaving all within twenty four hours. We had Sabin, we had Pete
251
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:23.519
Carroll, and we have Bill Belichick
all leave. I mean, you're talking
252
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.639
two of the greatest coaches of all
time and then Pete Carroll. But Pete
253
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.000
Carroll has his own resume, He's
done his own great work and stuff like
254
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.039
that. I just have to throw
a little shade. But he's not in
255
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.840
the same pantheon and we know that. But you're talking Bill Belichick and Nick
256
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.879
Saban, two of the greatest football
coaches of all time period, and then
257
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.600
Pete Carroll, I think might be
the longest tenured head coach in the NFL
258
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.879
before stepping down something like that.
He was right around the same time I
259
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:51.320
think as Mike Tomlins, so he's
been around in Seattle for a long time.
260
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.039
New England having that third overall pick, we know Bill Belichick was the
261
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.320
one in charge of all the football
decisions. There's no more Bill, so
262
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.519
we know they're going to be quick
in looking to fill their GM vacancy.
263
00:17:03.640 --> 00:17:07.240
What do you think this means for
Patriots? Is it just we've acknowledged that
264
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:12.039
we're we're no longer that era of
Patriots dynasty and as a fresh start,
265
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:18.720
clean slate, we're setting a new
new direction forward. I think it has
266
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.920
to be. Especially this is going
to be a very interesting topic of conversation,
267
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:29.119
especially if the Chicago Bears keep just
in fields. Because if the New
268
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:33.960
England Patriots go out they hire a
young, offensive minded offensive coordinator. We
269
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:37.279
assume Drod Mayo is going to be
the head coach at this point, like
270
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:40.880
that's an assumption that we're kind of
making right now. But if it's him,
271
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:44.240
or if it's Mike Frable, both
of those guys are not offensive guys
272
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:47.400
that will handle the selecting of the
quarterback. They're going to look to bring
273
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:52.160
in probably a young, offensive minded
OC that has maybe some experience play calling,
274
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.440
because that's going to be a huge
part for either Drod Mayo or a
275
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.359
Mike Rabel led team. They're not
going to be in their complace, so
276
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.240
someone's gonna have to have some play
calling experience. That's gonna be where I'm
277
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:08.079
interested because they might try to jump
Washington to go get a quarterback. And
278
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.359
I do think that what we're going
to see in New England is going to
279
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:17.279
be a very, i would say
drastically different team than what we're used to
280
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:19.200
seeing. They're still going to try
to hold down the fort On the defensive
281
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:23.319
side, they have Christian Gonzales from
the last last year's draft pick, which
282
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:26.200
again I can't believe he fell to
them. As far as he did,
283
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:33.119
he was legitimately on pace to win. Nice and nice little heart, I
284
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.839
believe it. That was hard.
Yeah, that's that's amazing. That'srible.
285
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.839
I could not expect that. I
was doing the Oregon for Christian Goanzalees and
286
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:44.200
I thought I was doing a heart. That's that's so cute. Look at
287
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.200
that. Oh, that's amazing.
But I couldn't believe I can either.
288
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.559
And I mean, we're going to
see what that that looks like on defense.
289
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.359
But I expect a new OC obviously
a new GM, new head coach,
290
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.599
and they can get very interesting if
they want to trade up to get
291
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.759
Caleb Williams and try to re configure
the outlook of what the what we know
292
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.319
the New England Patriots to be.
They could do a shift and not be
293
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.319
a defensive oriented team and try to
go the opposite direction and win with offense.
294
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.440
Yeah, which we haven't seen it
a long time. I mean,
295
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:21.599
even in the Tom Brady era,
it was it was defense first. It
296
00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:26.160
was Bill Belichick's defense, and then
you just had a human computer running the
297
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:32.000
offense in Tom Brady. So it's
it's cleaned out. Belichick's gone, Brady's
298
00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:36.240
gone, Patriots fans of old,
it's a new era. And you know
299
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:37.680
what, you had a great twenty
years. So I don't want to hear
300
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.599
anything from you guys for a long
time. But now, yeah, we're
301
00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:47.480
looking at New England sitting there third
overall pick. We're pretty much set in
302
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.400
stone at this point that we're gonna
have quarterbacks go one two? Are they
303
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:55.160
gonna miss Like, are they gonna
miss out on both Caleb Williams and Drake
304
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:59.799
May and sit there at at three
and run it back again with the quarterback
305
00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:03.519
room that they have, or how
aggressive is a new GM gonna be and
306
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.119
say we're gonna put all our chips
in here, we're gonna restart the franchise
307
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.119
and we only got to move up
two picks to get Caleb Williams, or
308
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.160
hell, maybe they just try to
swap with Washington, if Washington's content with
309
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.720
Sam Howell, if they think they
can get a haul to move down.
310
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.480
I don't know, it's gonna be
fascinating. I'm so curious but it definitely
311
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:25.759
seems like there's gonna be some sort
of shuffling going on to the top.
312
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:29.160
If not, I'd be surprised.
I mean, we're gonna be talking about
313
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:33.680
this all offseason and watch Chicago's gonna
trade justin fields. They're gonna take Caleb
314
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:36.839
Williams first overall, Washington's gonna stay
at number two, They're gonna take Drake
315
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:41.000
Mack and then behind that you have
New England. How are they gonna value
316
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.839
the other quarterbacks in this draft classes
Jayden Daniels worthy of the third overall pick,
317
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:48.559
or are they gonna go another route
and go offensive line, or they're
318
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.960
gonna go Marvin Harrison Junior and be
like we'll figure out quarterback later. It's
319
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.640
gonna be really interesting to see how
that shakes out. This whole process is
320
00:20:56.640 --> 00:21:00.799
gonna be a lot of fun,
and especially with all these teams looking for
321
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:04.519
new head coaches, new offensive coordinators, and again with the new regime coming
322
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:08.400
into New England, all of the
pressure is going to be on them to
323
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:12.160
make something happen because of what Bill
Belichick left behind. Like, there's gonna
324
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:18.559
be a whole lot of pressure on
the incoming GM head coach offensive coordinator to
325
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:22.359
say we have to rewrite this ship
so you could see them try to just
326
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.880
sell the farm and go get Drake
may or Kleab Williams and just say,
327
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.799
look, we have to do something
drastic to be able to write what we've
328
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:33.960
seen on the offensive side of the
ball here. So I can't wait to
329
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:37.680
see what happens. It's gonna be
so much fun these next few months.
330
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.920
And just I just love the draft
season. I love all this stuff,
331
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.880
free agency, this entire season is
fantastic, and I'm so happy we get
332
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:48.920
to share our thoughts with you guys. Yeah, thanks for listening to our
333
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:55.039
ramblings. Man. Yeah, that
Patriots situation, they're gonna walk in whoever
334
00:21:55.119 --> 00:22:00.440
the new head coach offensive coordinator GM
is going to be. I don't think
335
00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.079
there've ever been bigger shoes to fill
in the history of the NFL than the
336
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.920
dynasty that the Patriots have had over
the last twenty plus years, other than
337
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:10.920
the last four years, but we
will talk about that. Speaking of the
338
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.680
draft, Matt Eberflus is staying in
Chicago as the head coach, but Luke
339
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:22.119
Getsy's gone, so new offensive system. So your plan is either we're putting
340
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:27.079
the third offensive system in four years
with Justin Fields, or you're giving Luke
341
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:34.519
Getsy to potentially Marvin or potentially Kayleb
Williams. This is I don't agree with
342
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:38.079
the decision myself. Obviously it can
work. I'm not saying it's not going
343
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:44.160
to work. I don't necessarily think
that this decision to keep Matt Eberfluz makes
344
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.599
a ton of sense. That's just
throw it out there. Say they trade
345
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:51.559
Justin Fields away and they draft Kayla
Williams number one overall and they don't make
346
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:53.720
the playoffs. I know what's going
to happen. Matti Eubracluz is gonna get
347
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:57.079
fired, his staff behind him,
the new offensive coordinator that just came in,
348
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.440
They're all getting fired. So guess
that's what you start back to square
349
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:04.880
one with Kayleb Williams, who's now
learning a second offense in the span of
350
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:10.400
two years. Let's go back to
a few years ago, like when they
351
00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:15.319
when this was a whole all happening
with Matt Naggie and Justin Fields. This
352
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:22.440
whole situation has happened before, and
it happened before too with mich This whole
353
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.279
situation has happened three times, or
if this is how it goes, it
354
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:32.079
will be the third time it's happened
in seven years in Chicago. So looking
355
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:37.319
at that, it makes me feel
once again more optimistic that they will stick
356
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:40.720
with Justin Fields. But this is
a huge It's not a decision to be
357
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:44.279
made lightly for this organization at all. So you know, they've got a
358
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.799
ton of information to go through.
That's why they're saying. Ryan pouls Is
359
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:49.240
like, dude, we have a
ton of information to collect. We have
360
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:52.960
tons of it because they can't just
say, yeah, we're gonna go with
361
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:57.759
stick with Justin Fields when this is
a really good quarterback class and they want
362
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:02.240
to be able to get right.
The offensive coordinator is going to be interesting.
363
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:07.240
And with all these guys that have
play calling experience. There are eight
364
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.119
head coaching vacancies in the NFL right
now, eight of them. How many
365
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.200
of those head coaching jobs do you
think are going to want an offensive coordinator
366
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.960
to be their head coach that have
had play calling experience? A lot?
367
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:23.240
That's another thing. A lot of
them will because that's what New England and
368
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:30.079
maybe Tennessee. Yeah, maybe that's
a ton of people and they're Matt Eberflus
369
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:34.759
needs to get an offensive coordinator in
that can handle his own offense and call
370
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:38.839
plays because he can't call play.
So I'm I'm, like I said,
371
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:42.119
not not what I would have done
myself. It can work. I'm not
372
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:47.240
saying it won't work. I have
little faith that this plan here to stick
373
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:52.279
with Matt Ebrafous will work. My
biggest concern with this, As we've said
374
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.400
several times, this quarterback draft class
is one of the best quarterback draft classes
375
00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:00.160
that has come out at the top
of the class, the best quarterback classes
376
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:06.759
that has come out in decades.
I mean, Drake may would be the
377
00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:11.240
number one overall pick in almost any
other draft except for this one. Because
378
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.680
you have Caleb Williams, who is
getting talk of being the best quarterback prospect
379
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:22.440
since Andrew Luck or before that.
I mean, there's people all over comparing
380
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.599
them to like, Yes, I
would take him as a prospect over Trevor
381
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:27.480
Lawrence. Yes, I would take
him as a prospect over the number one
382
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:32.839
pick for the last seven, eight
years, whatever it's been. If they
383
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:37.200
decide that they're going to stick with
Justin Fields with a new offensive coordinator and
384
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:44.000
run it back with Matt Eberflus and
it bombs and all three of them are
385
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:48.480
gone. And then you're in next
year's draft class looking at Quinn yours as
386
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:53.319
potentially being the best option available to
you. You have to be so sure
387
00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:00.640
on Justin Fields to pass on him
this year, looking ahead to what's coming,
388
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:04.359
you have to be so convinced you
have the first overall pick in back
389
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:10.640
to back years. Yeah, and
last year it could have been Bryce Young
390
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:14.559
where it could have been CJ.
Stroud. CJ. Stroud is looking like
391
00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:18.720
a superstar if one of the two
quarterbacks were both of the quarterbacks taken early
392
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:23.720
in the twenty twenty four draft turn
into superstars and Justin Field's missus. Oh
393
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:30.400
man, that is a rough road
to haul for Chicago. Yeah, you
394
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:32.519
don't want to deal with that.
No, And that's why, again,
395
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:36.960
why everyone's saying Justin you know,
saying Ryan Pole is saying that their collecting
396
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:38.920
information means they're moving on from Justin
Fields. No, that's not it at
397
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:44.079
all. They need to do their
due jill, due diligence with this pick,
398
00:26:44.400 --> 00:26:48.519
with this situation, they gotta nail
the offensive coordinator that's number one before
399
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.799
we make the decision whether you're gonna
take a stick with Justin fields or not.
400
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.400
You need an offensive coordinator. That
has to happen now, So you
401
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.200
need to involve him in the process
too, because that offensive coordator is going
402
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.720
to have a ton of input on
whether you want justin fields or you want
403
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:06.680
to move on to Kayleb Williams.
So all this has to be handled first,
404
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:10.240
and it cannot happen quickly. So
I know we spent a lot of
405
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:12.480
time talking about in Chicago last week. We're doing it right now because this
406
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:17.799
situation with Washington behind them, New
England behind them, there is a ton
407
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:22.319
that goes into this specific year.
Like you said with Kayleb Williams, Drake
408
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.640
May and then again jayde and Daniels
is not out of this conversation. Teams
409
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:29.400
are going to talk themselves into him
because of the athletic ability that he has
410
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:33.440
and the way that he can just
make kind of like Justin fields in the
411
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.279
sense that he can turn any run
into a touchdown. I still think that
412
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.720
Justin fields athletic ability is better than
Jade Daniels, but just there's a ton
413
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:45.799
to be talked about here. So
I mean, this situation is gonna be
414
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.640
a ton of fun to go through
again. And we said it already,
415
00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:52.319
this draft might be one of the
most fun drafts we have with trades that
416
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:55.839
we've had in a very long time. And I'm looking forward to it.
417
00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:59.200
Yeah. I just I really hope
that there's a chaos grenade. I hope
418
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:03.960
someone outside yes the top five to
seven picks is like, we're gonna give
419
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:08.160
you the farm to come up for
Caleb Williams and we just have total chaos.
420
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:11.160
You can never predict exactly how it's
gonna go, and that's why we
421
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:17.920
love this. It's amazing. So
moving on my new favorite segment that we
422
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:22.880
did last week as well, stunks
Up talking about player, stunks Up a
423
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:27.240
player whose draft stock is rising.
This week, we're going to talk about
424
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:32.160
a Washington wide receiver, but not
Ramadunze. Who are we talking about?
425
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:36.000
Man? This is the guy on
the opposite side, Number two, Jalen
426
00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:38.920
Polk listed at six to two hundred
and four pounds. He has declared for
427
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:44.039
the NFL Draft and if you guys
watched him against Texas, you're like,
428
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:47.960
oh, this guy caught five passes
for over one hundred yards and two touchdowns
429
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:51.240
and that one that deflected over his
head. That shows you just a little
430
00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.799
bit of the ball tracking, because
that's not it's a little bit of luck
431
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:55.640
to get out right in front of
him, but you have to be able
432
00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:56.799
to follow it, you know,
when it goes over your head. And
433
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.759
that's again kind of like we talked
about with Thomas last week. The ball
434
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:06.519
tracking, the sideline awareness, the
being and the ball skills are all there.
435
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.839
He's got probably some of the strongest
hands in this draft class in jail
436
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:14.480
the Poll. I believe that along
with his teammate rom Madouonze, who are
437
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:18.599
just these guys in traffic. That's
why Michael Pettix is just like chucking it
438
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:21.039
up to him. I got single
coverage. Okay, you go get it.
439
00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:22.359
I'm not that worried about it.
I'll give you a chance at it.
440
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.240
And the difference for me is that
when I i'm you know, guys,
441
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:29.400
don't If you look behind me,
you can see some chief stuff back
442
00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:32.960
here. I'm a Chiefs fan,
and when I'm watching Rashid Rice in this
443
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:37.279
iteration of Kansas City's offense where they
were getting him the ball in space and
444
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.119
doing stuff like that, I see
a bit of that in Jalen Pol.
445
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:45.920
I think his speed is underrated.
I think he's gonna surprise people with his
446
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:51.720
forty times at the combine. I
also think that his spatial awareness is much
447
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:53.680
better. Like he's he's a good
zone reader. You see it a couple
448
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:56.720
of times where he's stopping in his
own and he sees that the ball's not
449
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.240
coming out, he sees a linebacker
coming to him, He'll just get into
450
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.960
that space behind him. He's very
good at clearing linebackers and getting in the
451
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.799
second level and stopping in spaces.
And that's something that separates him from a
452
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:12.400
guy like Brian Thomas in my eyes, that he's able to identify those spots
453
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:15.200
and zone I do think that his
route run and he needs some work,
454
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:19.000
specifically at the top of his route, so just kind of like it's really
455
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:22.880
rough around the edges, he'll round
him off or he'll just like chop down
456
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.160
a little bit too much. But
what do you think about Jalen Polk?
457
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:30.400
Are you Are you buying the buzz
that we're seeing right now and maybe maybe
458
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.359
even climbing into the back of the
first round. I like all the things
459
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:37.440
that you were saying about him.
I agree with all of that. His
460
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.279
hands are so strong, and he
is so physical at the catch point.
461
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:48.200
It's he attacks the ball, he's
he hand catches everything. He does it
462
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:51.160
exactly I was supposed to be done. You mentioned his ball tracking. He's
463
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:56.599
incredible with that, his sideline awareness, great, body control great. I
464
00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:59.079
like him a lot. Now he's
not getting that same buzz. We were
465
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.160
talking about Brian Thomas last week where
some people were putting him at like fifteenth
466
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:07.519
overall, which yeah, no.
But Jalen Polk as a wide receiver in
467
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:12.000
that kind of next tier down maybe
like the third tier of wide receivers in
468
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:17.680
this draft class, I like a
lot. We didn't talk about actually that
469
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:22.400
Amikagbuka is returning to Ohio State,
so we lost a wide receiver out of
470
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.039
that kind of Tierguka would have been
probably Iguka would have been higher than Jalen
471
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:30.880
Polk, but we lost someone there. So the board is going to kind
472
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:33.599
of shift a little bit to phill. I don't think he's going to push
473
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:41.279
for late first draft capital, but
I think that he's really solidly implanted in
474
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:44.960
Day two, if not Round two, to get drafted. He's a great
475
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:48.000
deep threat. He's not he's not
a burner. He's not elite speed,
476
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:52.319
but he does have good speed,
and like you said, his zone awareness
477
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.039
is great and his ability to track
the ball with great hands. I think
478
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.039
it's a great complimentary piece in an
offense. He's not an alp that's gonna
479
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:05.359
go out there and be the one, but he's very quarterback friendly in the
480
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:08.480
way that he positions himself, the
way that he catches like everything thrown at
481
00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:14.200
him, and the way that he
fights for contested catches strong at the catch
482
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:17.640
point, and reads the defenses.
So Jalen Polk is a wide receiver that
483
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:21.599
I think is going to fill a
very good role. Teams in need of
484
00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:24.079
a of a good number two cover
one. A lot of you people are
485
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:30.000
Bills fans. Jalen Polk could be
an option there if they don't go round
486
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:35.000
one wide receiver. Jalen Polk I
could see as being a valuable asset for
487
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.480
Buffalo in his ability to stretch the
defenses, win with some speed, win
488
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:42.799
on the boundaries, get downfield a
little bit so, especially because I'm thinking
489
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:46.279
Gave Davis is probably gone this offseason. So yeah, Jalen Polk, I
490
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:51.720
like him. He's gonna be very
interesting. Let's go to Senior Bowl man,
491
00:32:51.960 --> 00:33:00.920
we havet's like two and a half
weeks and weeks that's it, man,
492
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:05.160
I'm getting I'm hyped. I got
so much film to go back and
493
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.559
rewatch, and rewatch, and rewatch
and sort out on all these guys.
494
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:12.279
And there's so many names this year. There's just so many guys, and
495
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:16.640
I really love that they opened up
access to under Klassman to be able to
496
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:22.480
participate in this. Who are some
names that have caught your eye that you're
497
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:25.440
really excited to go see in person
and see how they stack up against very
498
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:29.920
good defenders. There's gonna be some
really good dbs in particularly so on the
499
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:32.440
offensive side, defense, all of
it, the whole mess to be excited
500
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:36.519
about. I'm excited. You guys
heard me talk about Troi Fono. He's
501
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:39.160
gonna be at the Senior Bowl.
I can't wait to watch him again against
502
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:44.240
better competition, continuing what he did
at the National Championship. And then I
503
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:50.519
got two guys. Lad mcconchney is
one of my favorite, maybe fourth tier
504
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:57.000
wide receivers. This guy's always open. He's consistently finding different ways to generate
505
00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:00.759
separation, whether it's speed dilation in
the five yards, this the route stem
506
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:05.480
is being able to identify leverage with
this cornerback. He has all of that.
507
00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:07.480
I also think he's an underrated speed
guy. I think he can actually
508
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:12.239
play on the outside and in the
inside at the next level because of the
509
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:15.840
way he reads leverage in the defender. So he's somebody that I want to
510
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:19.800
see in one on ones because I
think he's gonna dust up just about everybud
511
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:21.880
and that he plays up against,
and that's gonna be a lot of fun.
512
00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:25.960
And then my dark horse quarterback in
this draft class, Spencer Rattler.
513
00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:31.079
I think that his offensive line that
South Carolina did him absolutely zero favors,
514
00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:35.800
and he's gonna be able to throw
to his guy Xavier, like get who
515
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:42.920
I also can't wait to see.
But Spencer, We're so excited to get
516
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:45.719
down there and to see that.
That's exactly what this is. Every time
517
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:47.599
I'm like, oh, oh,
I can't wait to see that guy.
518
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:51.519
Oh can't wait to see him.
That's exactly what this is. We be
519
00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.280
sitting in the bleachers next to each
other just like, holy shit, did
520
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:57.840
you see that right exactly, just
shaking him. Look at it, Look
521
00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:00.000
look over here, look over there. Euse Routler's got it all guys,
522
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:05.599
He's got all the tools. Now
the big question for me with Spencer Ratler
523
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:09.000
is can he be point and shoot? Can you, as a coach direct
524
00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:14.199
him to not make some of the
really critical dumb errors that he makes in
525
00:35:14.559 --> 00:35:17.320
his processing And a lot of it
does go through his offensive line where it
526
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:21.679
makes him speed up his process.
So going to the next level is going
527
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:23.599
to be important. I think that
him for him to get a little bit
528
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:29.559
of time behind a starter with a
decent offensive line. But I'm telling you
529
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:35.239
right now, arm strength, downfield, accuracy in the pocket, mobility which
530
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.360
is really underrated for him, I
think that it gets he It takes a
531
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:39.280
lot of sacks people like, well, this guy can't move in the pocket.
532
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:42.719
No, it's because he's busy trying
to get the ball down to the
533
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:45.639
get the ball out, and his
offensive linemen are letting guys just fall into
534
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:49.800
his lap all the time. So
Spencer Ratler is a guy that I really
535
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:53.800
think can actually be a legitimate quarterback
in the next level. He just needs
536
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:58.679
a little bit of kind of point
and direction. So I'm excited to see
537
00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:04.440
these guys. I know that you
are a big Oregon fan, so let's
538
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:07.719
talk a little bit about some of
the guys you are excited to see at
539
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:14.559
the Senior Bowl. We'll start under
center. Mister bow Nicks is gonna be
540
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:19.880
huh and bo Nicks returning back to
the South where he did not exactly get
541
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.960
his college career off to a great
start, but what he did since transferring
542
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:28.880
to Oregon he completely flipped the script. He was phenomenal for the Ducks for
543
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:32.119
two straight years. He's gritty,
he's got arm strength, he has underrated
544
00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:37.000
mobility, he can run it like
he is an athlete, and he is
545
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:42.800
a competitor. And bo Nix,
to me, is a guy that he
546
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:46.039
should be above Spencer Rattler in terms
of most people's draft boards. But I
547
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:50.760
think that bow Knicks, I don't
know if I'm going to say that I'm
548
00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:52.760
ready to I don't know if I'm
ready to call him a starter at the
549
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:55.760
next level, But I think that
he has a lot of the traits where
550
00:36:55.800 --> 00:37:00.360
he could be a really high end
backup. And if he works his way
551
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:04.119
into a situation where he gets an
opportunity, I could see him taking it
552
00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.880
over. I absolutely could. He's
quick, he's decisive, he has very
553
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:13.840
he has very strong arm talent you
never know. I mean these guys that
554
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:17.039
are just smart about the game and
see things the right way. He minimizes
555
00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:21.079
turnover so much once he got to
Oregon. Those are the kind of guys
556
00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:23.199
that that you like, that you
like in the NFL. You like the
557
00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:25.679
guys that are going to compete and
that are gonna work hard and that can
558
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:30.119
read things correctly and not make the
stupid choice. And he very rarely made
559
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:32.760
the stupid choice over the last two
years in college. So I'm excited to
560
00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:36.480
see him. And you know what, it is not on our little show
561
00:37:36.519 --> 00:37:39.960
sheet here, but Jackson Powers Johnson, his center baby JPJ is gonna be
562
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:45.360
there and I cannot wait to see
Jackson Johnson. He's gonna put it and
563
00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:49.880
everyone's gonna go. Everyone in the
stand is gonna stand OUTA That's exactly what's
564
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:53.840
gonna happen. Yeah, he is
such a powerhouse and so good in both
565
00:37:53.920 --> 00:38:00.320
run and pass pro He allowed hold
on I have it here. He did
566
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:06.559
not allow a single sack in his
college career and only allowed two quarterback hits
567
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:13.039
in his entire college career. He's
rock solid. He's a day one starter
568
00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:17.079
in my opinion at center at the
next level. He's phenomenal. I love
569
00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:20.039
him so much and I can't wait. Like you said, road Grader,
570
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:24.079
he finishes players. He just h
he's gonna pancake someone. He's gonna put
571
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:27.760
someone into the dirt, and I
can't wait to see who that's gonna be.
572
00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:35.800
I will also add here that I
cannot wait to see Latsu Latsu,
573
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:40.840
who's been battling injuries at UCLA and
now he's healthy, and if he was
574
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:46.079
healthy his entire college career, he's
like a top ten draft pick level at
575
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:51.039
rusher in my opinion, top ten
to fifteen. The guy can play,
576
00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:53.800
He's got a motor, and I
think that this was so smart for him
577
00:38:54.599 --> 00:38:59.760
to go to the Senior Bowl against
very good offensive lignement and show what he
578
00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:04.800
can do. Lotsu Latsu is or
it's Layatsu lat too. There's an extra
579
00:39:04.840 --> 00:39:10.119
syllable in there. He is someone
that just screams nfl at rusher. To
580
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:14.320
me, I would not be surprised
if he was on the forty nine ers
581
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:17.639
board. He seems like the typica
they would love to take. I mean,
582
00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:22.719
he he just he has the athleticism, he has the smarts. He
583
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:27.360
diagnosed his place and he gets to
the ball carrier in a hurry. When
584
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:32.320
he closes on someone, it's over
pretty quick. So he's someone that I
585
00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:35.519
can't wait to see down there.
There's just so many names, though we
586
00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:38.360
can't get to all of them right
now, but there's gonna be a lot.
587
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:40.880
I think we're gonna start doing a
little bit of positional work here too,
588
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:45.599
and talk about like top running backs, top wide receivers, top corners,
589
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:49.960
like we'll probably get through that in
some future shows. What was really
590
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:53.199
interesting to me is after the National
Championship he had a whole slew of Michigan
591
00:39:53.280 --> 00:39:58.519
players except that advice to the Senior
Bowl. Now, I know that you're
592
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:00.679
pumped about that. Who are you
except to see? Man, this is
593
00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:04.440
gonna be so much fun again,
you guys. I was at the Sennier
594
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:07.599
Bowl for my first year last year. I brought my daughter with me,
595
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:10.760
so I was trying to manage that
and get my eyes on as many guys
596
00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:14.679
as I could. There were.
Jayden Reid was the guy that I really
597
00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:16.800
focused on like the majority of my
time at the Super Bowl last year,
598
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:21.079
and I was like, this guy's
going to be a star, and he's
599
00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:22.519
pretty much a star. I think
he might be the best wide receiver in
600
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:27.880
Green Bay and the one guy this
year out of these players from Michigan's coming
601
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:32.360
out. I'm looking at Mike Sanderstill
and what he was able to do this
602
00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:37.000
season. He's played two years of
nickel corner, played two of it.
603
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:39.280
He was a wide receiver first made
the transition of the last two years to
604
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:44.239
nickel corner, and he, in
my opinion, is not just one of
605
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:49.559
the best cornerbacks in this draft.
I think he's the best nickel corner that
606
00:40:49.679 --> 00:40:52.599
there is. He uses his understanding
of how to play the wide receiver position
607
00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:58.000
in his nickel corner coverages. He
reads leverage, what the wide receiver is
608
00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:00.199
trying to do, how he's gonna
set him up. He's think of it
609
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:02.519
the exact same way, so he's
really anticipatory. He can get in that
610
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:07.719
hip pocket and stay with these shifty
or these faster guys. And what he's
611
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:09.440
going to come up against again at
the Senior Bowl. Are these wide receivers
612
00:41:09.719 --> 00:41:14.639
that are fast, explosive, can
change direction really well. I want to
613
00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:16.079
see him in one on ones.
I want to see how he handles a
614
00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:21.280
lot of this, because again he
was playing against Jalen McMillan in pretty much
615
00:41:21.320 --> 00:41:24.800
for the majority of his time at
the in the National Championship game when he
616
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:28.119
was in the slot, so we
faced you see a little bit of it
617
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:30.440
with Jaylen Polk when they moved him
in the slot. Same with him and
618
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:32.400
said they moved these guys around a
lot, but the number one matchup,
619
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:36.480
But people really like Jayalen McMillan.
I think he's gonna end up going back
620
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:42.440
to Washington personally, and Mike Sanders
still had a fantastic It's just a fantastic
621
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:45.039
National Championship game. With that interception
he nearly took back for a touchdown.
622
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:47.639
It would have been so great to
kind of cap it off that way.
623
00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:51.559
So out of the list of players
that we've got, I think I'm most
624
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:55.719
excited to see how he handles himself
again, only playing nickel corner for two
625
00:41:55.840 --> 00:42:00.360
years and he's coming out to the
Senior Bowl. So he's some that I
626
00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:04.199
think has improved his draft stock a
ton, and he's got another opportunity to
627
00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:08.440
continue to climb up boards. He's
a great He's a great choice for someone
628
00:42:08.480 --> 00:42:10.719
to watch. It's gonna be super
interesting to see him in those one of
629
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:14.760
the ones. Like you were talking
about all these fast wide receivers that are
630
00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:16.360
going to be at the Senior Bowl. How he stacks up against them,
631
00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:21.480
the elite route runners. Listen for
anyone that is going to tune into Senior
632
00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:23.719
ble practices and watch stuff and find
clips online and all that stuff. With
633
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:29.280
the one on ones, there is
such a heavy advantage to the wide receiver.
634
00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:34.800
Yes, in those they're designed to
basically allow the wide receivers to showcase
635
00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:38.599
what they can do. Like that's
basically what those go toys. No one
636
00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:45.480
holds it against the corners. If
a wide receiver is out there taking five
637
00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:49.880
seconds for a release package and then
dust, which you don't have time to
638
00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:52.880
do in a game. But they
go out there and they show off all
639
00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:55.400
the footwork that they can muster and
put that stuff on tape. How he
640
00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:59.840
does against that's going to be great. Speaking of wide receivers, Michigan,
641
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:02.920
I even Roman Wilson is gonna be
one of the names that's there. He's
642
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:07.559
very interesting to me because he reminds
me a little bit of a Jayden Reid
643
00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:10.840
in the way that not not style
of play, but situation. He didn't
644
00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:14.880
have the production of even touchdowns.
He had twelve touchdowns this year, which
645
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:17.079
is great. Yeah, but he
had forty eight receptions for seven hundred and
646
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:23.400
eighty nine yards respectful, but not
like a dominant output. This system that
647
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:28.039
he played in didn't allow him to
do that. He was in a one
648
00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:31.199
first offense. We talked about it
last week how basically the second half of
649
00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:35.440
the year it seems like they didn't
ask McCarthy to do much. So that
650
00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:38.599
doesn't help Roman Wilson. But somehow
he still got twelve touchdowns. I don't
651
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:44.440
know how he managed to rack up
that many of them, but he's very
652
00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:46.800
interesting to me. He's listed at
six foot one ninety two. I don't
653
00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:52.760
think he's six foot one ninety two. I'm curious to see his senior ble
654
00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:55.000
way in because to me, he
definitely looks like he's under six foot.
655
00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:58.599
On the field, he definitely looks
like he's under one hundred and ninety pounds.
656
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:01.840
But in today's NFL that doesn't really
matter all that much. So you,
657
00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:06.840
being the Michigan fan, what are
your thoughts on a Roman Wilson at
658
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:08.679
what we're going to see in mobile. I'm more interested to see how he
659
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:12.119
gets in and out of his breaks. Like That's something that I'm still trying
660
00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:15.039
to figure out about Roman is that
he's he's got good speed. He's a
661
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:17.000
good extender, which means, you
know, I'm talking about his ability to
662
00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:20.280
catch the ball away from his body. He has a very good catch radius
663
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:22.519
for a guy who's a little bit
smaller, but he's got he knows how
664
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:27.000
to use his arm as well.
Go back and watch his catch against Alabama
665
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:29.760
at a ball that was tipped at
the line of scrimmage and just went like
666
00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:34.360
above where JJ McCarthy get intended it
to and hekes full extension and then he
667
00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.480
makes a guy miss right after the
catch. That's kind of the stuff that
668
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:43.519
I'm looking at. But how can
you use your post catch brain, your
669
00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:47.599
post catch athleticism earlier in your route
structure, like in the stem in how
670
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:52.360
he's setting up cornerbacks and dbs using
that leverage to understand. I want to
671
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:54.239
see that, And that's kind of
what like you were talking about. With
672
00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:58.079
these one on ones, we're gonna
get an opportunity to see the thought process.
673
00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:00.079
You're gonna if he's taking a little
bit too long on all of his
674
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:05.440
setup, it's gonna tell me he's
not really entirely sure on how he wants
675
00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:07.559
to go about this. You pick
a route, pick a stem, and
676
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:10.400
figure it out. Go quickly,
that's what you want to do. That
677
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:14.719
shows me that you're streamlined in the
process, You're making it faster. It's
678
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:16.360
not just this entire Oh, I
have to do this, I have to
679
00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:19.320
do that. I have to be
able to get in and out of the
680
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:21.800
break here, maybe do three different
moves. I don't want to see any
681
00:45:21.800 --> 00:45:22.599
of that. I want to see
you decide. I want to see you
682
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:25.159
set up, and I want to
see you execute. And when these guys
683
00:45:25.199 --> 00:45:29.880
are going quickly, Like again you
talk about Jayden Reid, this was quick.
684
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:31.239
He was like, I'm just gonna
do this and I'm gonna break out
685
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:35.000
and I'm gonna win. And I
want to see that from Roman Wilson.
686
00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:37.679
So his ability to showcase what he
can do in the stem and the first
687
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:40.880
you know, those first two or
three yards to create separation is going to
688
00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:44.679
be a huge part of what I'm
looking for from him in those one on
689
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:49.039
ones. In this whole week.
There's a slew of wide receivers that are
690
00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:52.719
going to be going into the end
draft, and that'll be just down a
691
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:54.920
mobile. The water zero recorded mobile
is going to be insane to watch.
692
00:45:55.000 --> 00:46:01.079
With some great names. Things that
separate guys that are late round picks to
693
00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:07.079
mid round picks to better than that
are the little details. It's their ability
694
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:09.039
to get in and out of their
breaks. It's the ability to leverage.
695
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:14.199
It's all the things that you were
just mentioning being an athlete and having good
696
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:19.480
hands. I can find five thousand
guys that fit that mold across the country.
697
00:46:20.079 --> 00:46:23.679
But do you have the understanding of
the game and the footwork and the
698
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:30.400
agility to be able to get in
and out of your breaks succinctly and to
699
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:34.960
get yourself into an open position for
your quarterback because in the NFL you're open
700
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:38.840
for not very long, so you
have to be able to create it and
701
00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:44.119
the ball be there and that's the
end. You've got a small little window
702
00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:46.599
where the play can be executed and
that you can actually win on it unless
703
00:46:46.639 --> 00:46:51.039
you're one of these hyper elite guys. So I agree with that. How
704
00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:53.199
he does in that his ability to
get in and out of his breaks,
705
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:57.280
his ability to set up defenders.
I think scouts are going to be paying
706
00:46:57.280 --> 00:47:00.239
a lot of attention to that.
And I'm going to walk around and I'm
707
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:01.000
just gonna be like, hey,
what'd you think of Roman Wilson. I'm
708
00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:04.280
just gonna be asking about everyone that
I can see. It's gonna be great.
709
00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:07.440
I can't wait. I can't just
talk to people. It's gonna be
710
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:10.760
awesome see what everyone's talking about.
We'll see if I can harass any of
711
00:47:10.760 --> 00:47:14.760
the NFL network guys and see if
they'll give you. That'd be a lot
712
00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:17.519
of fun. Well, I think
that's pretty much what we have for now.
713
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:23.360
I think next week we'll really flip
into more of an in depth Senior
714
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:29.000
Bowl preview and really start looking into
it and breaking down some more stuff.
715
00:47:29.679 --> 00:47:32.280
Now that, like I said,
National championship's done, that's all. That's
716
00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:37.519
all behind us. It's one hundred
percent forward to the Draft. So thank
717
00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:42.519
you guys for listening. This is
cover one Draft Weekly, John Helmcamp,
718
00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:45.400
Buddy, Daniel Harms. We'll see
you next week.
