Jim Nagy, Pete Prisco, Kyle Crabbs | Combine Day 4

to the podium Thursday in Indie. We'll get you some quotes from the linemen and the linebackers, including effusive praise for Dolphins new linebacker coach Anthony Campanelli. But we'll also go backwards and check in with Kyle Crabs from the Draft Network to get his thoughts on the best prospects on offense. We'll chat with Pete Prisco of CBS Sports HQ and Jim Naggy, the executive director of the Senior Bowl. All of that and more on this Friday, February edition

of the Drivetime Podcast. And the beautiful part about this edition of the Drive Time Podcast is that most of the work has already done for us being down in the scrum on Thursday. It was a busy busy morning for myself and the audio video team. Shout out to Trey Freeman for following me around down there and getting us all this great content. We spoke to a lot

of players, several analysts. We almost nabbed Brady Quinn, but that guy was doing radio and stepping down for live hits on the commercial breaks, so he would spread pretty thin. But that's okay because we've got plenty of great sound bites for you guys, and we'll start here with this one from Pete Prisco of CBS Sports HQ. Alright, we're here with Pete Prisco, CBS Sports HQ. Pete, how's your week going so far? It's good. Uh, this is a long week. It's fun. Combines changed as I first started

coming here. We used to have about twenty reporters in a building over there and we brought players out and we talked to him. That's how they do. And now look at this. What's what's the biggest change for you as far as the schedule goes on field work out some of them maybe the pre draft or the pre combined meetings. Well, I think it's um taking a little chunk out of the nightlife and talking to guys out at the bars. You know how we used to always

go out and you see guys and coaches. It's not as many of them out now with the way the schedule is, and I imagine it's going to get even tighter in the next couple of days. In your opinion, what's the true strength of this year's draft class? I think the wide receiver group is outstanding. I mean there's a ton of guys. You start with the best guys,

you know, Jared Judy and Cede Lamb. I think when you look at that group there, they're the best, but there's about ten, twelve, thirteen, fifteen guys that are gonna be good players in this league. So that's the biggest strength of this draft. But I also think if you're looking for an offensive tackle, there's five guys that will probably go in the first round and they're all really good players. So I think that's the strength of draft. We've heard from several draft analysts this might be one

of the deeper classes we've seen in some time. A good year to have four team picks, as the Dolphins do. Would you agree with that sentiment. I think the Dolphins are in a great situation I've said that all along. Uh. In fact, Brady Quinny we were just talking to over there. We've had arguments about it. I said, make me the GM of the Dolphins. I'll fix that thing. They got money, they got cap room, and they have of picks. Is this is going to be a quick turnaround in Miami?

How much do you think there is pressure on the Dolphins maybe make a move in the draft at some point, maybe go get that quarterback of the future. Well, I don't know if that's necessarily the case. I mean, we got to see how to it checks out in terms of his medical where he is. Uh, from that standpoint, what's the hip recovery because he might have to who knows he might have to miss some time. You know, he says he's getting clear, but we don't know how

many teams cleared him, how many didn't. If he's there and they have the conviction on him, don't mess it up. If you really believe it, go up and get him. But you know, we don't know because until we get the medical clearance on him, I'll have no idea. And how would you stack those quarterbacks at the top of

the class this season? This year? I think it's borrow number one to a number two, probably Herbert number three, Love number four, I think, you know, and then you'll see how Easton I want to see how he throws, and then maybe from but I think that's pretty standard one. On the defensive side of the ball, Isaiah Simmons talked earlier today, probably the most first of a player to come out in sometime. Who are some other guys that really offer a lot of fatility for your defensive side

of the football. I think you got to look at the safety position. I mean the way the game is played now, the safety can play like a buck linebacker in certain situations. So like Xavier McKinney from Alabama is a guy you if you're looking for safety help, you want that kind of guy. I mean delpit he didn't tackle last year. That's a concern of mine. But those are the kind of guys that can drop down and then along the defensive line. There are a lot of

guy in Marlon Davidson, he can play defensive end. He can I think he can move inside and play, you know, as a pass rusher and passing situations. From Auburn, I think he's a guy to keep an eye on. And last question for you here, what's the number one thing you can take away from this week in Indianapolis. Whether it's an executive, a scout, a head coach, what's the top thing you're looking to accomplish Indianapolis. I think this

is all about the quarterbacks, the quarterback carousel. Where's it go? Where's Tom Brady going? You know, you talked to people that say that Tampa's in play for him and will he go there? Uh? You know, where's Rivers going? Is he coming to here to Indianapolis? And then how the rest of the dominoes all fall? Where's Teddy Bridge? We're gonna wind up? He's a Miami kid. Where's he wind up? So? I think the quarterback carousel is the most important thing.

Pete Risco, CBS Sports HQ, thank you. So some adamant praise there from Prisco by the Dolphins front office for the work they did to get the Dolphins into this position and where they are with all the picks and all the cap space they have available to them. And the driver of the bus was, of course, general manager Chris Greer. And Greer appeared on the Move the Sticks podcast on Tuesday with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks, and he had some great quotes in that podcast with some

nice transparency for the guys at MTS. Bucky Brooks asked him about how he balances the difference between the tape and the combine, and Greer said, quote, the tape is the majority of it. With the combined players can kind of fake it. You're going to have to spend some time outside of the setting because everything is so rehearsed and coached for these guys now, and that's the hard part of trying to get to know who they are and quote. They then asked him a question about the

collaboration between the front office and the coaching staff. You've heard Chris Greer say before that he wants to be on the same page as Brian Flores, and Brian Flores even said he wouldn't have to can this job last season if he wasn't on the exact same page as everybody in that building. So it is a massive collaboration here in Miami, and Greer said, quote, it's imperative. The communication has to be on the same page or you've

got no chance. It's a lot of time with Brian Flores, the coaching staff and the scouts making sure that whether it's prototypes or scheme specific stuff that at the end of the day, it's all about communication and really spending time talking through things. You'll always see talented players, but sometimes they may not fit what you want, whether it's mentally, character wise, etcetera. Talking through all that stuff, that's the only way teams win and find good players. And we

spend a lot of time doing that end quote. And of course by now we all know that versatility has become commonplace in today's league, and Grier mentioned it himself that the league is no longer like it was in the past when you had a fullback on first and second down, then when you got stuck in third and long, you bring the third receiver onto the field. So when he was asked about that career said, quote, it's a

huge part of the game. A big thing is for your roster to it allows you to keep players at other positions or do things because you have a guy that can play guard and center, for instance, or a cornerback that can play safety. Eric Road to that for us last year, it's finding guys like that because the game has changed so much, it's spread out. I think teams aren't finding ways to spread teams out and do things. You have to adjust and be able to find ways

to counter it. End quote. So Greer crushing it and Brian Flora's he too is crushing it. And we'll get to Kyle Crabs from the Draft Network here in just one moment. But I also had a chance to do a walk and talk with he and ESPNS Cameron Wolf, and we were talking about how great Flora's as presser was back on Tuesday, and Cam, of course, being a veteran here on the dolphin scene, mentioned and even more

confident Flora's this year. Last year, it was all kind of a worldwin for him coming to Indianapolis, which really just makes the job he did even more commendable. You've got to remember he won a Super Bowl and then was announced the very next day in Miami with no sleep to speak of. He had to assemble an entire coaching staff and get out here to Indianapolis with all

their scouting notes in just a three week stretch. And the job he did last year, of course, finishing with five wins in the final nine games, has certainly earned him unanimous praise across the League, and especially from his former co worker and current executive director of the Senior Bowl, Jim Naggy. All right, we're here with Jim Naggy, the director of the Reese's Senior Bowl. Jim, First of all, I want to congratulate on the success of that game,

which have taken off the last couple of years. Thanks. I appreciate it. Um. Yeah, we're working hard and we're doing it for the NFL teams. I mean, the main goal is to get good rosters for those guys. And it's fun to see our guys get drafted and all that, and that helps us recruit players for the next year. But you know that the most rewarding thing is having the guys that come into Indie here and having having your your buddies from the league tell you, you know,

the players were the good rosters and everything. So we're happy about it. Well, we gotta keep getting better. And one of those buddies, of course, Brian Floors, the head coach of the Miami Dolphins. You worked with him pack back with the time of the Patriots. I just want to get your kind of feeling about how happy you are for him in the success he had late this year, winning five of the final nine games with Dolf. Yeah, I mean yeah, you're always happy for your friends when

you see him do well. And it's no surprise. And I wasn't shy about it last year when they when they hired Brian, I thought it was a great higher and so to see how they ended up the year and then and then that win in New England to end the year, you know, back against the Patriots where he spent so much time, it was awesome. He's got that thing going in the right direction, for sure. I'd

be very missf. I didn't ask you, is there any kind of behind the scenes scouting story you can give us about your time with the Patriots and with Brian Flowers when you guys are on the road together, anything like that. We were never on the road together because Brian was a scouting assistant and I was I think

I was in the Midwest at that time scouting. But no, I just remember a guy that he just worked his tail off, you know, and he was the same guy all the time, and he just that was a pretty intense building um back then and it probably still is. But to have people like Brian and made it a great place to work. He's the best. And as a scout, what's the number one thing that you can accomplish here

this week? Looking at all these players, going through the media, going through all the poking and prodding on field drills, what is the scout looking to take away number one this week here in India? I think it helps you check yourself, you know, in a lot of different areas. So whether it's something testing wise or you know, the other day everyone made the big deal about Joe Burrow's hand size, and all it is is just to make

you go back and maybe maybe check yourself. So with Joe's hands aze, you go back and you pull up l s U tape of of a bad Weather game you know we're too bad weather. Can see how he controlled the ball and if it looked any different, And that's all you're trying to get at. If a guy runs a slower forty time than maybe you thought he played, we'll go back to the tape and check your eyes again. Is he you know, does the speed deficiency show up? Or or is it? Or was I good the first

time when I graded him? So yeah, it's just kind of a easy way to check yourself. And as a Michigan alumni. The Dolphins just hired linebackers coach Anthony Campanelli to the coaching staff. What can you tell us about coach Campanelli and who is the best Michigan prospect here this week in India. Oh, that's a good question. I'm not really familiar with coach, so I can't comment too too much on him, but best Michigan prospect and they have eleven UM so I think they have the second most.

I think josh j is really good the linebacker. He was in Mobile for the Senior Bowl. I actually thought after Javon Kinlaw, who was out after two days of practice, who was phenomenal for two days of practice, But after Javon, I thought josh Cha had all he had the best week of any defensive player. You know, he's not the tallest linebacker. He's only six wanting change, but he's got almost thirty four inch arms, so he plays long um and he can play off the ball. He's showed Mobile.

He can cover. I mean he can run with tight ends and backs, and then he can be the most important. He can rush the passer. For a guy with that length, he's got really explosive hands. I mean, when he gets his hands on you, you see guys get jolted. So he's got a really nice pass rush game. I think that's gonna transition really fast in the pros and then and now that teams have seen him cover more like he did in mobile. Um, he's gonna be a really

good player for somebody. Great, Jim, appreciate it. Yeah, thanks, Grass, And you heard Jim talking, of course about Josh. You j there at the end of that interview one of the players that I caught up with on the floor Thursday and asked him about his college coach, Anthony Campanelli, who of course is now the linebackers coach here in Miami. Listen, in, Josh, your position coach in Michigan, Anthony Campanelli is now with the Dolphins. What can you say about your time with

him in Michigan. It's one of the greatest guys I've ever met. You know, it's a really good person. He coasted the game the ways supposed be coasting, cares about his guys, and he's just a he's a great person. And what you can't see on that sound clip is before I even finished asking the question, you had a big smile on his face. From ear to ear, you can tell there's a genuine love there between he and

his coach. Another favorite SoundBite of mine was from Utah's Bradley and I, who first talked about swimming with sharks, Yes, sharks voluntarily something you'll never see me do. I can guarantee you that. But I asked an I about his time at Utah and playing for Kyle Whittingham and the fact that Utah has nine players here in Indie, and what Whittingham and that program did to prepare guys for the next level at the NFL. Proudly, you've got nine

teammates here at the scouting combine. What can you say about Kyle Whittingham and the Utah program? What kind of did to prepare you for the next step? Um, it's just pretty much an NFL rum system they have at Utah. Being being to meet his five minutes early, Just little things like that. It's UM taught their Utah accountability and

responsibility on and off fulfill Uh. It's just feel very very well read, especially from the head coaching staff point, and it just gets you ready and gets your prepared for the next lot. We don't want to expect And as you can tell, I was asking all the Utah players that question because of the respect that Winningham has across college football. And so I asked Leaky a similar question to what I asked Bradley. And I think you got a lot of your teammates here in testament to

Kyle Winningham in the program there at Utah. What are some of the things you took away from Kyle and the program in Utah? UM, I think that the main thing that I take it from the program quotes with UM,

it's just understanding my role, um as a player. And you know, for us to be here, uh buying the list together, UM, this is a you set them into the program and coaches with with what he's done at the program for us, and it just shows how we can, you know, develop as players and uh coming in you know, with not many you know stars, I guess high school and uh, you know developed where we're at right now, at the highest level, Uh that we could be hanging now.

And when he walked off the set, that guy towered over me and everybody else in that room for the most part. And let's be real, most of the guys out here do tower over people. And at the defensive

edge position. I wasn't able to get a question into Chase Young because the crowd gathered a half an hour before he spoke, and it just got massive and massive, And rather than waiting for one question for Chase Young, I decided to go around and get more questions from other folks, like the next best edge on the Draft Networks list of edge players behind Chase Young a j Epanessa of Iowa and so with seven sacks in the final three games of the season, I asked Epanessa about

his production spike towards the end of the season. Did you your production took off late in the season this year? What was the difference between September October than transitioning into November? Um? I was. I was transitioning learning kind of take on those double teams and ships, um, and all those different kind of blocks. And as the season went on, you could tell I started getting better at it and I

started being able to be more productive. Um. But it just kind of came with me learning how to to counteract those kind of blocks. Yesterday you heard me talk to Charlie Casserley about McKay Beckton, one of the top offensive tackle prospects in this year's draft, and I believe the number three overall player on the Draft Networks big board.

And one of my favorite questions to ask in this process is to get the players feel for who the best guy they faced that season, because that gives us a better feel for what that draft prospect can do across from those guys. So I talked to college Kareem about who the best player he faced this season on the offensive line was. Who's toughest guy he went up against last season? What kind of challenge do you provide for you and just try give you on that was

pretty tough? Who was pretty for a prety big? It was an athletic to decent foot wards Jone. There was it about your dame that's as you apart from the pass mushers out here. Um, I feel like I'm every down player. I didn't stop the running first second down by still still until the third down, you know, passing that way. See hear him talk about being an every down player, three down guy, both pass rusher and run defender.

So I asked him what was his best position that he plays across the defensive line, because you can play anywhere from zero technique over the nose all the way out to the wide nine technique, which you recall was one of Cam wakes specialties, and then incredible get off and speed rush that Cam Wake had off the edge. Here was Khalid's answer to what position he prefers most along the defensive line, playing a variety of positions across the new or damn defensive line, which technique is your

favorite to rush from? Probably your five or nine. And to go back to the versatile players we talked about in the earlier segment with the Chris Greer hit on the Move the Sticks podcast, I stopped by Anthony Jennings podium, the Alabama outside linebacker slash edge player, and asked him what it was like playing at Alabama and how that might have prepared him to play at the next level. Anthony, A lot of Alabama players say that practices in college are harder than they are in the NFL. How does

playing there prepare you for the next level? I hope you would prepare me. Well, you know, I ain't really uh done NFL yet, but you know, uh just every day comes showing over having to be your best because of the competition level being so high. You know, you just come out there and have to go to work every each and every day. Uh, you know, just farting in love with the ground, farting in love with football, and you just trying to be the best visited each

and every day. You know how much we love each and every day here on this podcast, We absolutely love the grind. And one guy that grinded his way through college was Baylor's defensive end James Lynch. I asked him what his favorite position was and his best move to chase down opposing quarterbacks. I would say three techniques is my favorite. But like I said, I've done last year. I was fly technic the whole time, so I'm comfortable doing whatever. But I probably say through a technic and

what move do you think you win best with? Um? Just like n actually just running like an inside swipe. Some along those lines. And one of the great benefits of the scouting combine is every player speaks. And while some of the guys take to the big podium and gather a large crowd, we saw Chase Young there was literally a hundred people around his tiny little podium they

set up for him there. He then goes around to all the major network sets and does interviews live on those sets, and then across the side of the room they have some tables where some of the lesser known players, guys that might go on Day three, they speak to

the media over there. And I had a chance to catch up with Alex Highsmith, the Charlotte outside linebacker slash Edge, and asked him about a game two years ago against the Clemson Tigers and what he took away from playing up in competition on that day years ago he went up against Clemson and Germaine Angorm on the Mouth Sticks podcast said that Alex Highsmith is the best player I ever played against. What does that company mean to you?

And what's it like going up against a competition like like like a team like Clemson means a lot, you know, just be agog gets guys like that, you know, it was it was a it was a really awesome opportunity be able to play, you know, in Death Valley and play against those guys and just you know, like I said, that was kind of a lot of explosions for being, you know, so to visit kind of a mid game, you know, because you know, that's this game that scout the game that scouts look at, you know, how do

you play against the great competition here? So it was just it was really cool. You don't be able to go in there and just just have one of my many games for the year. Its use that was never pretty cool to play against him, but you know, um, just it's pretty cool. You know here you guys compliment

like that. And finally had a chance to catch up with Tulsa edge defense event slash linebacker, slash plays everywhere across the defense Trevis Gibson and before I played the clip for you guys here, the best part about it was the introduction between he and I because his name is Travis, My name is Travis, and there was a bit of h hey, I'm Travis. He said hey, I'm Travis and I said, no, it's Travis, and he said, yeah, I'm Travis. It was just one of those funny interactions.

We had a great time talking back and forth and it led to a good one minute fifty second interview and here's that clip. Just what's the primary way you think that you win getting out from the quarterback? Um, I would just say being an unpredictable man. You know, you have to have a lot of different moves. As a past rusher, but two the three you definitely have to maximize and have as your top move. So if

you master those, I feel like you've become unstoppable. And then once you have some great second options after that, I feel like you it'll thank you really successful. As far as your traits, like whether it's your athleticism or length, which of those do you think really gives you the best possibility of sixting at the next at the next level. I would think just playing with Lendless man playing with a chip on my shoulder, um tremendous effort and definitely

my athletic ability. But you know, I feel like I still have a lot to improve in every aspect of my game until I mean on top one hundred Hall of Famers. So I'm definitely gonna continue to push on and learn as I don't how comfortble do you feel working on games like stunts and twists and slants that type of thing. Oh, that's I'm really comportable with that. I feel like that's a lot of fun, you know what he shows it? Yeah, helps free up a lot of guys. And you know, like you said, it's a game,

it's a defense line game. You're not just running one on one. You know, you gotta be on your p's and queues as an offensive lineman, be able to pick guys up, you know, see who's coming, to see who's not. And it's very fun. How have you enjoyed the process so far here in Indie this week? Man, It's been a pretty great process. You know, the interviews and just sound, the gear, the guys around, just being around the NFL coaches and jams and whatnot is a pretty good smooths.

It's one of the things people might say about your draft stock is you played at a small school and Tulsa. What would you say in response to that in terms of what you can offer an NFL team, I would say just because I played at a small school. And it's also I mean, I'm made it here, so I mean I only came out of high school one division one offer. I mean people have been underestimating me ever since eighth grade, ninth grade, tenth grade, So I mean, I'm just gonna keep that tip on my shown and

let people do what they do. Thank you, guys. So you heard me talk about his his tape and him saying that his best trait was how he plays relentlessly with his hair on fire, and it's just a really fun watch to watch that guy go out there. It's always fun to watch those smaller school guys get out there and play against that competition and then make the next step up to the bigger competition once they get into the All Star Games, the Scouting Combine, and eventually

of course the NFL. And that's how I out for you guys on that front. And normally this is where we'd end the podcast, but now I'm not leaving. I'm staying here with you guys because we have an interview with Kyle Crabs. We did the defensive side of the ball mostly on this podcast, but I want to go

back to that Crabs interview. He of course works for the Draft Network, and we discussed the offensive side of the football this week here in indeed, we're here with Kyle Crabs of the Draft Network talking about all things Indianapolis Scouting Combine. And first, Kyle, what I want to ask you is this class is known for its depth this year so far, and you've been doing this for about seven years now, and your and your estimation is this the deepest class you've seen since you've been doing this.

My first class doing this was in two thousand and fourteen, so seventh draft class and far and away, in my opinion, the talent that you're gonna be seeing at the end of the top one picks at the end of Day two this year is talent that you would typically be seeing almost a full round earlier in an average class. So as I've been stacking grades for player assessments, it's become really clear that it's a great year to have a lot of picks, which is exactly what the Dolphins

have in this situation. And the Dolphins are absolutely low with picks, six picks in the top seventy five of this year's class. And we'd be remissed if we didn't talk more about the quarterbacks. Kyle. That's kind of the buzzy, the buzzy phrase, the buzzy topic every time, every year, this time of year, and especially this year for the Dolphins.

What are some of the takeaways you've had this week so far with the quarterbacks that I have have spoken behind us here at the podiums, and kind of what the general feel is about how they've performed so far and their media availabilities. Sure through the media availability and even going back to the Senior Bowl in January, you're starting to see a divide with the top three, with Joe Burrow kind of being regarded as the pencil in number

one overall selection to a tongue of iola. Having a promising set of medical feedbacks early this week is huge for him. It's really gonna help teams like the Dolphins that have been attached to him for a really long time.

Justin Herbert had a strong Senior Bowl performance, and a lot of the whispers that you're hearing this week indicate that a lot of the leadership concerns that we're there for Justin Herbert had been alleviated with the way that he's tackled this pre draft process for him, whereas Utah stage Jordan Love is kind of falling off the pace a little bit. You've got a big three in the quarterback situation, You've got a lot of quarterback hungry needs

in the top ten. So it's gonna be an interesting situation to watch unfold from here and the players that play behind the quarterbacks, the tailbacks in this class. Another deep class this season going into the draft coming up at the end of April, and one of the things that we look for the most with running backs, and DeAndre Swift saut it himself possibly the top back off the board this year, was that the thing that sets him apart from the rest of the class is his versatility.

So with that in mind, are there some backs in this class that offer some versatility in your opinion, that could possibly give a team like Miami, for instance, a lot in the passing game, the running game, and all three phases. Yeah, for sure. I think you're gonna get a comparable player for DeAndre Swift later in the draft. And people talk about the valuation of running backs and that dilemma of where do you invest in one and then once you have veteran ones, what they're worth to pay.

I look at guys like Cam Akers from Florida State and J. K. Dobbins and Edwards Hilaire, and these guys are all physical runners and they all contribute in the pass game, whether it's as a receiver. I really like what cam Akers brings as a pass blocker as well, and pass blocking a lot of times is what you see be a critical air that keeps backs off the

field early on in their pro careers. I think we have five six seven potential backs as potential top one selections, and because of the valuation of the position and because of the depth of the rest of the class, you could see a domino effect where these guys end up lingering closer towards fifty six or potentially seventy. And the guys blocking for those tailbacks, of course, are the offensive lineman and they had a chance to speak to us

here earlier today at the scouting combine. And this tackle class is one of the deepest we've seen in some time. And there's a lot of questions about who might kick inside the guard, who can play the left and right side. But as far as how many first round tackles, how many do you think we could get come to draft in April, I think you'll see up the six potentially the big four Jeddrick Rules of Alabama, McKay backed In from Louisville, Trystan Worths of Iowa, and Andrew Thomas of Georgia.

Those guys, in my opinion, in are all locks for the top twenty. The question is for Miami, will you see him? That's yet to be determined. I think McKay Beckton from Louisville is the big Riser, and I think the New York Giants are going to be attached to him a lot in the coming weeks because of his powerful style of play and the brand of football that the Giants are looking to instill, which then in turn gives the Dolphins a chance to potentially see who else

might be sliding into the teens come draft weekend. But four top twenty in my opinion, is a lock. You could see up to two more with Josh Jones and potentially Austin Jackson from USC. And we'll wrap this up here with possibly the deepest position in the draft in a class that Kyle mentions is one of the deepest draft classes, the deepest he scene in his seven years with the receiver position, and Daniel Jeremiah had something like

twenty three receivers with a top three round grade. Who are some possible Day three type of sleepers that maybe could fit in as a slot receiver on the outside. Just talk about some of the depth at the class this year at wide receiver. Yeah, it's interesting because there's a lot of different stylistic player. There's big slots, they're short, twitchy guys, really polished route runners and without getting specifically

into some of these names. Guys like Daniel Jeremiah said, the top selections are gonna be there early in the

fourth round. So the Dolphins, you know, as they think about what this wide receiver room looks like, they'll have a chance no matter what style of a player that they want to attack, whether it's a twitchy guy or a big guy that has size and catch radis, there's gonna be options there in the fourth round and later that in an average class, again, you wouldn't get thanks to the depth, and it certainly is a great class

to have plenty of draft picks. We know the Dolphins have plenty of draft picks in their war chest right now heading into April's draft, and that's gonna be just about a rap here from Indianapolis. On the podcast, we do have some interviews with cornerbacks and safeties on Friday. We'll probably get some audio from that on the podcast next week. But to wrap up this edition this week of the Drivetime Podcast, I want to just kind of reflect on the week that was here in indian Polis,

starting off the first night I got here. Kevin Dern at Kevin m D four. You guys all know who he is, my original co host on the Analysis podcast way back in, took me out to St. Elmo's and not much of a shrimp cocktail guy, and especially not the cocktail sauce aspect of it, but my goodness, that thing is incredible, even though it knocks you on your backside with how spicy and how hot it is up in your sinuses. And I got here in Indianapolis with a bit of a cold and it cleared how my

shinence has completely. That was delicious. But even as good as that was, it paled in comparison to the Filet Mignon and the Johnny Walker Blue. And the reason I had the Johnny Walker Blue. I'm not gonna sit here in act like I drink out all the time. keV lost a bet and paid me and Johnny Walker Blue, so we are not quite that high society. One of the best moments for me this week running into Peter

Schreeger on the NFL network set. Just went by and introduced myself, and he was just as nice and gracious as could be, and we ended the conversation by him saying, we gotta get you on the show because I told him how much I love Good Morning Football, so hopefully that happens in the near future. But above everything this week, of all the people I ran into, all the people I met, all the great content, a huge thanks to

everybody here in this organization. Fans don't get to see all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. I mentioned Trey earlier, Jeff and Luke on the audio side, Eric Stewart, Laura Vanessa, and the social and marketing team, Matt and Brett, of course coach Flow and Chris. I know I'm forgetting plenty of names here, but everything we do as a team effort, and I'm so grateful to be part of the best team in the National Football League. But that is going to be my time on this

edition of the Drivetime Podcast. Subscribe and rate and review the show. We have something like seventy five ratings up on the Apple podcast app right now, and only one of those is a non five star rating. The Dan Marino of podcast was one of the review comments in there, and hey, I appreciate that, but no one comparis to the goat. Let's leave Dan out of this. He is in a stratosphere all by himself. We did jump all the way up the top two on Apple Podcast sports categories.

So a huge, huge thank you to you the listener. Follow me on Twitter at Wingfield NFL. Follow the Dolphins of course at Miami Dolphins. Check out the Audible podcast and the fish Tank podcast, and of course Miami Dolphins dot com for all your written content on this Dolphins football team. We'll talk to you guys next time. Fins up.
