Draft Show: Full Mock Draft & Final Thoughts

with Dane Burglar David Hellman. This is our annual mock draft, the seven round Cowboy Mock Draft that we've done the last few years to try and give you an idea of what direction this thing might go. And last year it seemed pretty simple with fourth overall pick to try and figure out what direction, because you you dictate when you're picking that high, you dictate where everything is going to happen or how it's going to happen. And but at twenty eight's a little bit different story. If I'm

not mistaken. I think we went Jayalen Ramsey last year. Yeah we did, I believe so. Yeah. So, I mean, you just you never know, You never know, even at four, you never know, You never you just never know, and and that's what these these teams are dealing with right now as they sit in there their war rooms and they're you know, whether they're doing mock drafts or making calls, whatever they're doing, they're trying to figure this thing out. And who will go where there's so many I mean,

I'm talking to people. I know you guys are too, talking to so many people, and it's just really really confusing in a way. I mean it is, and you said it yesterday. You hate the you hate the whole this whole week leading up to the draft because you want to believe. You want to believe you know something initially heard and then it's something just totally turns it away, turns it the other direction. I made this analogy last week on Twitter, and I think it's very fitting. It

reminds me of studying for tests in college. I know it's been a while since you were in college, but in a while you'd like study. You know, you study a little bit in the weeks ahead of time, and you study more and more, and then like the day of the test gets there, and maybe the test isn't until three o'clock in the afternoon, but you've got all day to like look over and like you know it or you don't know it. Either way, it's kind of

too late to do anything about it. And you just sitting there second guessing yourself, just wanting it to happen, waiting for it to happen. Yeah, you don't want to be surprised. Yeah, exactly. And that's what we talked about that yesterday on the show the Curveballs. Some of these teams have gotten with the you know, the Conley information with peppers, you know, the medical stuff. You know, we'll

get into all that too. But I think from the outside looking in, I have no problem being surprised, you know, Like to me, that's the fun of the draft. Now, these teams you don't want to piece of No, you don't want to You don't want to be sitting in that room and wondering why right that that that? There's that that nothing more that that you talk about paralyze somebody,

you know, paralyze your room. When all of a sudden some information I mean Tounsil when that hit yesterday, there were teams in the top ten they were thinking about picking Tunsil, and all of a sudden they got that bombshell dropped on them, and now it becomes Okay, what's the next best plan. But you think about, Okay, we're prepared. It's just like the Cowboys a little bit with you know, when Chazer went ahead of them and they said, okay,

let's take Zack Martin. Here. You know we got Manzielle Martin, Let's take Martin. I mean that that way, you're prepared. They were prepared, and they obviously made the right call. But you go back and watch the war room camp footage, it's not like there was some conversation and exact certainty though absolutely well, there was some phone slamming. Yeah, there's a trust and that I'm in throwing the phone slamming that day though. That's draft day. Yeah, yeah, the pin

Yeah night EnGIS. Yeah, it's it's not it's you're really prepared and hopefully through this journey we've prepared. Uh you out there, the listener that possibly this this draft I have a feeling today they were about to have is not going to have one. That's I'm not going to sugarcoat this. I don't think you deserve that. I'm not gonna make it all nice and pretty, and but I think it needs to be a dosa reality. I think I think you need to think about at the twenty

eight spot. It's not going to fall completely how you think it's gonna fall, but you gotta be ready if it goes another direction. You want to move back, you want to move up, you know, be ready. And I think that's what we're gonna try and do today and see how that all works out. So I'm excited to get started. Realistic, you know. Yeah, I think scenario that's drafts are scenario. Yeah, I I you know, I appreciate everybody on Twitter that sends me there their draft that

they do. And I look in the first four picks are all first round guys and I kind of just chuckle to myself. I mean, hit the like button. Yeah, that's a great job, you know. But I think that I think that reality needs to be you know, to be observed and that way and when it happened, when things happen on the clock, that you're not surprised that you're you're thinking, Okay, this is something we thought about.

That's all you want to do. You want to go through every single scenario of what happens in front of you and what could happen behind you. I mean I heard, I heard the other day. You know, hey, Atlanta might be an aggressive team. Yeah, you got to watch some those teams from the back, you know that. You know that the Saints. I mean, there's some teams that could be very aggressive in the way they approached this trap.

There could be some people that comes from the top of the second round, Cleveland with multiple picks, I mean, they could jump yet twenty eight degree. I mean, I know they got two first round picks, and that's I'm working on my final mark right now, and that's I just I keep telling myself, you're spending way too much time on this because yeah, might get a couple right, but at the end of the day, there's going to be some trades which throws off everything, and it really

doesn't matter, you know. I mean, if you follow us, you know here at Dallas Cowboys dot Com during the draft, I think we'll do a nice job of, you know, laying out the options at each pick. But we'll try to do it right now when we don't know the trades. The ripple effect each one will have. You know what, honestly, what it was two years ago when I had like the most right in the mock draft. Uh, with my colleagues, that was the most boring mock draft for me, or

the boring first round for me. Yeah, because it's just went how I expected it to this year. I feel good about the first pick and that's it. Yeah, I'm excited for that. It's more exciting when you pick fourth because you know you're getting a great player. But in I mean for the draft knicks, this is more exciting because yeah, I don't know absolutely it's going to happen at all. Oh yeah, I feel pretty good that Myles Garrett's gonna be the first pick. But you can't even

completely sell me on that. So yeah, I mean exciting. That's that. This This will be a very interesting draft from that perspective. In like Dane's talking about, we're gonna have three days of cabbage for you here on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. We're gonna partner up with our guys, our buddies at one oh five three as well on Friday and Saturday. But yeah, if you keep it on Dallas Cowboys dot com, you will be, uh, you will be for the folks that have gone with us before

we go all the way. We just don't talk about everything Cowboys related. We try and you know, if when the Browns make a pick, or the Saints make a pick, or if Falcons make a pick, we'll give you some commentary on that, you know. I mean, we've worked very

hard to figure out some team needs. I mean, Dane Brugler has done a great job of putting together some charts and things of you know, you know with like you know for these you know, for example, just you know, the just to give you a little insight about the Giants, you know, offensive tackle, lineback or defensive line, tight end, running back, I mean, when they picked those guys, Hey, we'll tell you why. We'll tell you why, and you know, so, like I say, keep we'll be on likely most likely

fifteen minutes before the draft starts. We'll start at seven o'clock East, seven o'clock Central time for US eight o'clock Eastern tomorrow night, but we'll be on about fifteen minutes before that kind of set and things up and getting ready to go. So with that being said, though, we do want to do this mock draft, and as always I do turn the mock draft over to a DAMEE. Brugler and let him navigate this how he ceased fit? Right, Well, let's get going with this. Obviously we know the picks

um before we get started, is there? Do we want to talk about how how I guess before we start hit start? What's the earliest we would look at even the possibility of trading up. We don't feel like we're gonna get into top ten, right, No, So we're not going to do that, do we? If a if a certain player falls to a certain point? Is that when we talk about it? Are you interested in I'm talking about it at twenty Okay, I'm more willing to do it as we move down toward like twenty two, twenty

three four. So you got some teams, so you're in that, you're in that mode right now where you're thinking, you've made some calls, you've made some calls, and you feel like there's some teams ahead of you that want to bail I mean the teams you're you're talking about you want to get in the range report this morning that the Bucks might want to bail out of the round

entirely nineteen. That's interesting, okay, So if you're talking nineteen Denver at twenty Detroit at twenty one, Miami at twenty two, Giants at twenty three, Oakland at twenty four. So if a player gets into arranged right in there, we feel like that's now if we go to if we go to Oakland, say at twenty four, that's likely going to cost us our ninety or ninety two. That's the thing.

So we got to think about that. But you know, but let's I like the idea that if we see a player there that we like, we're gonna go if you know, after some discussion. But but that's if if we can, if we can convince the Raiders at twenty four, then that might be something that we need to do. That's four picks. Gotta be the right player, Gotta be the right player. Okay, all right, let's go, uh Miles Garrett one, we have Jamal Adams two to San Francisco. Okay, um,

let's bump down here. Let's see that's top ten. So Christian McCaffrey, Carolina at eight YEP, I think go to we had two quarterbacks to go top ten. Okay, if we expected that with Trubisky and Watson the Jacksonville and says Tennessee, I'm guessing it's a trade up. With Cleveland, Yeah to Tennessee like that. So they pushes another good player down the board. Have two quarterbacks go that high?

All right, let's go into the teens. We have Okay, we have Mike Williams off the board of Arizona, Marlon Humphrey off the board of Philly. So there's a corner candidate. Okay, So okay, let's think about this. We just lost one of our corner guys we thought was going to be there at twenty eight. So that's and that's a thirty visit guy too as well. So one of the last ones. Yeah, one of the last ones. So Humphrey is off the board.

And two guys that we thought maybe could be character guys or medical guys that would fall to us that we might have to make a decision on, Ruben Foster and Corey Davis. They went seventeen eighteen, so they are both not options. Okay, so recap again. So that's the

top eighteen. Okay. Now, Davis was a guy. Davis was the only offensive player that we really thought about do we think about you know, I think it was probably a pipe dream to think he's gonna fall too much further than Yeah, but that medical Dave though that might be something that's you know, there's some teams that have got him in that range where they think somewhere between nine and really twenty one two if you want to think about that fell with late at thirty in the

NFL Nation One that they did last night or whatever you call it. That was fascinating, Okay, and a few other highlights from the top eighteen OJ Howard ten to Buffalo. Okay, if Derek Barnett eleven Saints, So there's another See there's another guy. We didn't think he'd really fall, but maybe if he felt that was a trade up scenario. I didn't want to, I didn't want to say it out loud, but Barnett's probably the dude that I'm trading up for it, I mean, if he's and obviously he didn't come close

to us. So so by by going into this though, we were thinking if we go to twenty or getting that twenty range, we could have gotten, we could have gotten that's bad English. We could have received maybe or looked at a player, but Barnett just never never never a chance, right okay, okay, well all right, wait let me ask you a real more thing. Does that eliminate us now for going up? Well, let's talk about who's available, Okay, Okay, Charles Harris, T J. Watt, Taco Charlton, and every corner

except Humphrey and Lattimore. So we talked about nineteen. Then Tampa Bay they went out, there's there's not a trade up for Harris. No, there's not a name left that I'm getting rid of picks for that. Like on that's what I like. Honestly, Barnett's probably the and May Okay, that's in my mind, that's who I was thinking. I wouldn't try up going I'm going for Barnett. I wouldn't even trade up for Corey Davis because what I had this conversation with somebody last night's like, what do you

do with them here? Who's I mean somebody somebody's coming off the field or I mean either yeah, either you're not playing your first round pick or you're not playing the guy that you just gave twenty million dollars to. I don't like who who you taking off the field. If Corn Davis is on this, I don't. I don't like the thought of giving up picks for a wide receiver that you don't need Humphrey a wow. Pick there? Did that kind of that kind of surprise you right there?

I mean, would that be a wow? Would that be a wow? Not really, because like everything I know about Marlin Humphrey is that nobody can decide if he's like pick number ten or pick thirty two. Like I I've seen him everywhere. Yeah, I get what people love him. I mean, he's north of six foot long arms, he's a four or four athlete. He just he is inexperience in terms of finding the ball down field and making place.

But I think that's something he'll get better at. And you love so much about who he is that it would not shock me at all that this Gary on Conley situation. Yeah, him likely falling out of the first round, great point, Marlin Humphrey becomes that number two corners. See, that's what I'm thinking. These corners would become a mess.

It's become a mess. Sidney Jones. Yeah, I mean that all those first round corners in February, we had about nine guys that we felt good about, and that list has dwindled to about three as we sit here today, And I'm not sure it hurts us too much at twenty eight, but at sixty that's when it does because City Jones probably not going that high. Gary un Conley, and we be lucky to be drafted at this point. You know, we just don't know how that's going to play out. Yeah, So okay, well to go up to

number to nineteen just hypothetical. From twenty eight to nineteen, I think a second rounder gets that done. Let's look at the numbers real quick here, thinking let's take a second or third. Yeah, so we're going up, we're gonna try, we're gonna thought. Yeah, we're thinking about so we're going to nineteen. Is that what you said? That's eight seventy five on our on our chart? Uh and uh that would be minus uh six sixty on our chart. That's

two hundred and fifteen points. Okay, that right, there's that. We're we're what's sixty yeah, sixties sixties worth uh sixties worth three hundred points. So we're a big time we're a big time overpaying to go that that, to go that many that many spots, how much is ninety two worth? Ninety two would be worth one thirty two? We're short, she's we're I mean, give up a third and fourth, I don't know if that gets it done? Is that enough for Tampa? On top of all of this, Who

are we doing it for? That's what I like. It's fair. Who are we doing it for? If we're just worried that, you know, we want our choice of the pass rushers and we're just afraid that one's not gonna fall to us. Yeah, not nineteen. I'm not feeling it at nineteen. Just hey, I think I think we all agree. I mean that we don't because I think it would take a second round pick to get it done. Yeah. I don't think we all want to do that. Yeah, just once again,

your second round pick on this board is worse. There's worth three hundred points. So yeah, at Day was talking about yesterday holding somebody up. He was talking about holding the Browns up. They might and the Bucks would reserve. I mean, they're gonna want to hold you up. And this is what you have to remember. I think in this draft, this might be a seller This might be a buyer's market because people wanting to bail, Yeah, to get into the mid first exactly. If people want to bail,

maybe they don't hold you up. Maybe four pick sixty, maybe they maybe they go ahead and they say, Okay, we'll take pick ninety two at one thirty two, much like Dallas did in the in the in the trade up with San Francisco, right, or the actual trade back to Sanford's trade down, or you make them throwing a four yeah sweet in the pot, trying to flip spots or something like that. You're gonna have to be You're

gonna have to be get created. But I'm kind of sitting here and let's say, let's let's ride this thing. Let's see what we got, Let's see we got Okay, let's go. Um see, Denver, they take a tackle at twenty Yeah, Denver, that's a team. They're saying that they they're saying that they they have a tackle in house. They don't ram chick. Get ready for one of those guys.

These tackles are gonna fly out. Yeah yeah, get ready for that helps Dallas, though, well, unless you want to trade back, right, yeah, Okay, Detroit, there goes one of our past rushers, Charles Harris, the number twenty one. Oh jeez, I would have thought, what okay, yeah, okay, so we've lost We've lost Harris and we lost Barnett. Early. We've lost Harris too as a guy as well. And I'm

just like, I mean, anybody listening, I'm prepping. Remember twenty fifteen when we were just sitting there agonizing over who was going to be coming off the board specific I think it was Philly. We thought, well, the minefield they were, they were We thought they were taken Byron Jones for and it's gonna be I think that was the mar Was that the Marcus Smith draft or the Agalore draft? Yeah, I trust your I trust your your judgment um either, we like it's gonna be an agonizing weight from about

nineteen to when you pick. You know, we're in that. We're in that point right now where I'm I'm I'm just I'm stressing. I'm stressing it. Detroit. They Okay, we've already lost Detroit. We've lost one of our one of our guys. We still Miami. Do we want to talk about trying to trade out to twenty two or do

we want to just let it roll again? It's still I mean, it's still probably gonna cost you something seven eighties, the Miami number if you want to play with that, seven eighty seven eighty And when I say six sixties always going to be our number? Uh yeah, six to sixty. So what's ninety worth? Hoop says I, as I hit too many numbers? So what Miami getting twenty I'm sorry, twenty two, twenty two, seven eighty seven eighty minus the

six sixty. We need quick math people here, not people with the LSU one twenty that's gonna be that's our third. What's ninety ninety? Is one forty nine? That actually ninety two is our picks one thirty two. We're right on it. No, thank you, that's a that's a that's a starter, and it's fine. I mean I need ninety two to start. And I'm not again for who? I mean you still okay? As we sit here right now, Watt's still there, Yeah, Kevin King's still there. At A Ray is still there?

Um at a Doore? Sorry? Yeah? Um? Who am I? Who? I'm sorry? Guys, Tacos still there? You got I mean the he's a thirty visitor yep? Um, So I I mean, and I feel I feel optimistic that somebody we don't hate is going to be there. Yeah, you mean you're you know it's m McKinley's still there, right Yeah, Tack is still there. Hey, let's think about this and about that. McKinley's still there. He's the one guy. But we're talking about medical. Say McKinley, what you mentioned him? Bowser? Ye,

still there. We've got but we got six spots to wait out and and about three names. No, we got more than that. We I mean we just look at the orders too. No one, no one in that group that you love, you like them all, but you'll love it, Isn't that The theme of this draft though, is that like, you're probably not gonna love who you get it. I mean, you're you're gonna like them, and they're gonna tell you they love him, because that's what NFL teams do. But

you're talking about the back end of the round. That's what happens. Yeah, I agree. I think we let this thing rye. I agree. I mean, we're we've got we've got numbers at corners. Brought us wants to trade up so bad? Well, I brought us. Just thinks fortune favors the bull. I do think fortune favors the bull. But but I but you know who I was going forward or who well Barnett, That's where I was going he's long gone. I know. No, that's who I was trying to.

If Barnett had been there at nineteen, you could have talked me into it, honestly. Yeah, but he's not. And you got McDowell there by the way, another thirty visit. So we've we've just read off about six thirty visits who are still there with six spots to go. Just so you know, I don't see any reason why you would trade up. All right, let's let it roll. Well, let it roll, all right, We'll let it roll. All right. Miami, he takes TJ. Watts. That's how it happens. That is

how it happens. Let's see Giants take tackle Cam Robinson. Okay, that did us a well. That now if we want to trade back, that hurt us because Denver took a tackle, and now the Giants took a tackle, right, holy heck? All right, But Oakland takes Malik McDowell. Oh, they're all coming off all right. Now, I'm starting to get a little nervous. Okay, we're picked twenty five right to us. Yeah, Houston takes Mahomes there we go, Oh needed that? Wow? Okay,

I could breathe again. Seattle they say, Garrett Bowles, Oh I love this another Taco. Yeah. And then twenty seven we have Kevin King in the corner as a city. All right, Okay, now we know that hurts because that's my guy. So let's reset the board. Okay, we got McKinley on the board. Still Bowser Okay, McKinley's on the board. Bowser's on the board. Uh yeah, Dorry Jackson's on the board. And then yeah the guys, Okay, you got white tankers Lee, Yeah,

guys like that. If you're looking at corners, who do you like it? Gosh? Okay, who do you like out of that group? Would you? Would you Taco? Still there? Yeah, y'all aren't taking Taco. Don't lie to me. Well this is also realistic though, too. You know, it's not just what we would do, but what we think this team will do. Yeah. I think they like Taco, but I don't know if they I don't know if they like Taco more than Jackson. Right. That's that's what I coming

back to as well. And the thing I think the return stuff is huge for this guy, I really do. Oh yeah, it's part of the selling point, I hope. So man, I hope if he's there pick I hope they let him do his thing. Dorry Jackson can save you a roster spot because he can do everything Lucky Whitehead can do. You take him to this, You take him to the game at the forty six. I'll fight for the kid. How much do you like White? Lsu

How do you think they like White? I like him a lot, but I think there are better options at twenty eight. Yeah. Would Jackson be one of the options you like at twenty eight? Yeah? Because I mean his athleticism is insane and it's kind of funny because Trey White returned punts in college too, and he sucked at it. Yeah, he wasn't very, he wasn't good, So he is not a punt returner. You know. Are we thinking about handing this card in with Jackson on it? Well? I want to.

And I can hear people screaming at me from home right now. I mean, okay, tack the pup things, and I mean the draft picks should be about so much more than six months of your rookie year. But absolutely, I mean is there a case to be made for that? But to see that's the argument for me. Are you going to take a guy that you're gonna have right

now playing in the secondary. Yeah, with the hope that maybe if we go back in the second round, if some of these names are still available, you know, second round, or maybe we have you know, third round, second round defensive ends left on the board. Yeah, I mean McKinley would be hard to walk away from him. From me, Yeah, I have a round great, But I'm trying to think that that's for me. I'm trying to think about for them.

I don't struggle to turn away from Bowser because I don't even I mean, I don't know what to do with him. I know some people think he's the next coming of Reggie White, but he's a tweener guy. I was just that guy with the you know, the gift with the guy at the eyes draft. That was me that guy. Yeah, and I mean I'm not saying he's bad. I don't love him as much as others do. Yeah, we're gonna have to make a call on this one. It's it's McKinley or Jackson, I think, Yeah, and what

I think this team will do. There's a reason I've been mocking a Dory Jackson like Cowboys a lot. Yeah, I mean, I think they like him a lot. I don't disagree with you. I think when they what they think they can be a factor in spark, you factor in athleticism, you factor and all that stuff. He's a he's a He's a top three corner on this team right away? Is he not? Yeah? Absolutely is? And then what and then factor in what he can do as a returner as whatever you want him to be, maybe

some offensive snaps, magic guy. And I'm not high on a doory Jack. He's my eleventh corner. Yeah, I'm not high on him at all. Yeah, this is Yeah, I've got him in the second round too. But I'm just trying to think of what the Cowboys would do here. That's what this is about. And you think he fits what they want to try to do on defense, does he not? Yeah? He plays. He's like he could play

off coverage. Yeah, and he could turn, he could bail, he could mirror, he could chase, he could do He's more of a fit if you tell me him or Tankersly. Like in the second round, Tankersley presses and doesn't play all you I know you pardon the pun, you adore Tankersly, but that doesn't necessarily fit what they like to do with So you gotta see that much press from this team exactly. So it makes sense. And I can imagine that there are people that don't want to hear this,

but that would not surprise me at all. McKinley. If he sits six weeks, are we okay with that? He sits six weeks and like, but you got it for four more years after that and potential and you know, a fifth round option, And I'm just I think of it as Yeah, you know, Marinelli loves to rotate these guys. He sits out. Let's say he sits out half of his rookie year. Remember DeMarcus Lawrence. It took him until

January to really get hole. And then I mean, unless you just really strike gold, you're probably not talking about, you know, your primary. He's part of a rotation as opposed to maybe you know Jackson. Yeah, he's one of your top three immediately plus whatever he can bring to the other facets at the game. You want to hnd that card in for Jackson. I think we talked ourselves in the Jackson Okay, we're handing the card in for Jackson, Dory Jackson Dorry Jackson twenty. It came down to a

difficult decision with McKinley. Guy. That hurt us though, that some of those guys that we like went off the board or you know which, it's inevitable. Yeah, get ready for that. I enjoy the realism of this because I mean, if a Doory Jackson has really picked over Tack McKinley, I can see the outrage already. I can see it brewing. But you gotta be ready about McKinley being on a pup. Yeah, sure, and I think or or and you know, they brought him in, but maybe they just don't like him. And hey,

what is Rod Mary Rod Marinelli love to do. He loves to just give me some guy like He's not gonna get on the table and demand that the you know, blue chip pass rusher be on the team. He'll get work with his orphans. Okay, that's what he'll say, at least. All right, So we hand in the card. Dory Jackson, the very talented corner from USC is the pick at twenty eight for the Cowboys. So okay, now we screamed

down the bottom of the board. I'll tell you what, dude, Let's take a quick quick break, take a quick break, and then what we'll do is we'll come back and in the next thirty minutes, this will be our only break of the day. We'll finish out this draft after a long discussion there at twenty eight, we'll be right

Guys, I think, just talking my experience, I think this is a good maybe a good spot, maybe a good spot to get our fifth back here somehow, some way been the priority since yeah, and I just think that maybe somebody is gonna, you know, maybe we can find a trading partner here. Now we're willing to do that or do we want to stand in there and make a pick? You know? I mean that's you have an idea of you know,

what kind of names that we're looking at right there. Well, let's kind of reset our board a little bit um, so we're moving down to sixty. So off the board. Let's see we got tease tavers off the board. Arc Charlton's off the board. We expected their attack went earlier, witting late first. Actually, um, Davis Whites off the board. Okay, Curtis Samuel's off the board. M bash him's off the board. You know, it seems like, guys, seems like we didn't

be looking to these safeties. Does that make sense? Am I am? I is is mister melafon Wu off the board? Yep, he's off the board. He went thirty two. Oh goodness. Okay, Um, so it looks like the best corner, well we went corner. The first best pass rush are available here is uh uh Derrek Rivers. Okay, Derrek Rivers. Let's have this discussion at sixty. That's sixty the best pass rusher available. This is and this is I mean we talked about this

a million times, like this is the problem. You go, You go with that dB in the first round, good chance you're getting cleaned out. Yeah, at pass rusher. I don't think Derek Rivers is it would be a terrible pick there at sixty. Yeah, I mean it might be not my it's little rich for me. But that's kind of where we're at right now with that. Right you know, if you want to you maybe willis gone too, wellis is gone? Yeah? See so now see what see the

see what the scenario is. Okay, we went for the corner. Let's look at the safeties that we have availed. Okay, Uda Baker's off the board. Okay, Peppers is off the board. Okay, Josh Jones is off the board. The best available safeties Marcus Williams, Desmond King, Hey, Marcus May. So there's a few options at safety out of that group. Now, they didn't bring in King. They brought did they bring in May? They did not bring in May. They did bring in

they bring in Williams. Is Williams? All right? You guys interested in standing in there? What if somebody's going to call us? What if we have an opportunity? Let's uh okay, well, let's look at it. Let's see. Uh all right, let's play this. Let's play us. Let me, let's play this. Let's play it. All right, what do you got? I want to get that fifth back? He's got the fifth back, and I'm gonna go to Cleveland, Okay, and I'm gonna ask them. I'm gonna ask them for my fifth back

at sixty five. Yeah, they're picking sixty five. Yeah, there's Cleveland's picking at sixty five, so that moving back five spots. Yeah, and I want they've got they've got multiple they've got multiple fives. Four I believe they got four. They've got four fives or five. They got one forty five, one seventy five, one eighty one and one eighty eight. You guys interested in at one forty five to move back five spots? Move back five spots. Yeah, if we can

get Cleveland and do it. I mean, like Cleveland has way too many pick they can way too many picks. They have to move some of them. Okay, now let's remember what we're doing here. We're trying to get her fit back, which people are probably dying right now. Don't do it. Don't do it. Just pick Rivers and move on, you know. But we but do we determine that maybe Williams at safety is a better option than what Rivers

is at defensive end. And we talked about this yesterday actually, so you see, I mean Williams is, if not a starting safety, he's like one of your three guys that can play, you know in past. Oh yeah, yeah, he's a he's a he's an intercepting machine. And this kind of prob am, I right about that. Two years of five interceptions back to back seasons and this kind of we again, we talked about this yesterday. Williams is not

going to be your box guy. No, so you're looking at either, I mean Heath and Byron to kind of and Byron's kind of the jack of all trades guy anyway. So and but this guy becomes your your ball hawk guy, the guy that people want Byron to be. Basically I can live with that. I mean, this defense doesn't generate turnovers, and a great free safety could be a big part of that. And if both are available for us at sixty five, then we have a decision to make. All right,

we get Cleveland on the phone. They want to swing it. Okay, they swing to We're going to sixty five. We're gonna sweat five picks here and see if we we've made a determination. We're sweating the picks because we believe in Williams more than Rivers. If we love them both, the odds that one of them will be there five picks from now is at least descent. I was waiting for the number like that's impressive, decent, decent, Decent's what I would have said, all right, all right, let's do it.

Trade down there, Okay, trade down done. Derrek Rivers gone, Oh my god, is that who Cleveland came up for? No, Pittsburgh at sixty two? Derek Rivers So, Derrek Rivers Okay, so we lose. He's gone, Um, Marcus May's gone, oh wow, Marcus Williams is still there. All right, so we're on the clock at sixty five. Gambled, We gambled. We got our fit back. You gambled and it worked out. Yeah, we feel okay. We feel okay because we liked Williams more than Rivers. No, that's why you make the trade.

I mean we we don't love. And again I can hear the screaming in my ears, like, we don't love the fact that we're about to go through our first two picks without addressing the pass rush. But I can see the Cowboys doing that, and Stephen Jones kind of alluded to it on Monday. I mean, he trust me. The Cowboys are well aware that they do not have a von Miller type of pass rush, but they're not

gonna get von Miller at twenty eight. They got guys, They got guys and Rod Marinelli's probably convinced he can turn them into man eaters. But we helped the secondary. You got I mean, you just I mean you just turned over your secondary. Basically factored that in with Anthony Brown, who's got three years left on his deal, and Byron Jones, who's got two, if not three years left on his You've got a young core of very talented players in your secondary. Yeah, and Marcus Williams is going to be

pick I'm assuming that. Yeah, we're handing in that car at sixty five. Marcus william Marcus Williams. All right, but we lost rivers? No applause? Can't Can we get some applause on the pick? Are you like it? Against? Against the pick? Get the pass? Oh? There we go, So there we go. Thank you. Okay, give me a while to get it, but I get the pick now, all right, very good? Okay. Uh, next we mosey on downward now and okay, so let's reset what we got in the draft. Here.

We're at pick ninety two. Now. The next this would be uh, it was still in the second day of the draft. We've got pick ninety two that we're dealing with here, and we've also got picked one thirty three. We obtain pick one forty five, so we're looking good. We get to do a little yeah, you know close I love those close together pick. Yeah, we don't get

in the weight exactly. That that that'd be nice and that that that that starts one day and then and then you know, boom your if we can, if we can get our fifth back, then we completely I we did. I know what I'm saying, and I'm talking in real life. If the Cowboys can get their fifth back, then we erase the Matt Castle era forever was it? Was it worth the gamble? Though you guys like the gamble. I don't care with it. Yeah, I mean I can sleep at night. Yeah, because of it, I think we helped

the secondary. I'm troubled. I'm troubled thinking about the pass rush. But again, you're picking late in the round. I don't You're not. You're not finding von Miller anyway, And if you can really add that much talent to your secondary, it doesn't you know, I'm not going to lose sleep piety two. Thinking about defensive end here, well, I think if we have to look at who's available, yeah, this is where now, this is where I got the guys like, uh, you know, passing on. I mean that's kind of the

model I was thinking right there with him. Yep, Okay, we just simulating down to ninety two. Sim Williams is gone. Um, I don't think he was really in play for us. No, I don't think Dwayne Smoot is gone. DeShawn Hall is gone on. So a couple of past rushers that maybe were in consideration. Oh, Dashawn Hall was gone. That's kind of high I had on my mind in ninety two though. I was honestly maybe a round early there, but I was hoping Dashawan Hall would be there when we picked

in the fourth. So yeah, good luck with that. That's man. Okay, that's great. It should go. Yeah, that's where it should go. Cowboys worked him out by the way I had him. Yeah, they here to like him all. I like him a lot. So okay, so we want to offensive tackle. A lot of these offensive tackles went. Julian Davenport's gone, Roderick Johnson's gone, and Ndaniel Garcia's gone. I mean, the best one availables will hold him from Vanderbilt will holding. It's a good player,

but yeah, is he better than Okay? I mentioned passing on I miss I mentioned him just because maybe the upside there is that the you know you're you're looking as third round a little rich for him. I mean I personal him. I boarded think he's a fourth round player, but of the okay, okay, him as a three four not three four player, but a three to four in the in the draft on your draft four Yeah, yeah, I have a third actually third here, a third which

ninety two is barely a third round pick. Yeah. And when I'm betting on the upside here he was Cowboys shown interest in him. Yeah, you know, the rare visit small school guy. Yeah, worked him out right, played a bunch of dentists, guys, guys, raw sushi. Though, is here's my question is, Okay, we haven't addressed the pass rush for the first two rounds, and I mean you don't want to window dress your board and just take a guyed him. But what okay, you've addressed the two other

huge needs on this team very well? Yeah, what what else is there? I mean I'm thinking, what what else do you really could you not afford to pass up on? You have a receiver there, work, is there a tight end that we like that's still there. It ends Jake Butt's gone top tight end looks like Jordan Leggett from So you Know You're I'm obviously, and Jocu's gone obviously, Shaheen's probably Game's gone, Everett's gone. Ever, so I'm saying, Okay, maybe you don't even feel great about passing you on,

but who do you feel great about that you really need? Anyways, I mean, I'm not saying there's no good players left. We're still in the top one hundred, but yeah, I mean, you wouldn't back to back hit a corner. Here. I was about to say, well you do double up on a corner. Let's look at the top of available corners. Um, you know corn Elder's still around player we like, Yeah, okay, but then I played Devil's Advocate and maybe this isn't

this shouldn't be your guiding principle. But now I'm playing the numbers game and I'm saying, I already had Scandrick Brown and Carol when we started, right, and then you add Jack Jackson to that, so you got four. Yeah, you're probably only gonna carry five, right, and so maybe he could be the guy, but you're kind of putting yourself in a six and four, we'll see. Well they did five and five last Yeah, exactly. So it's hard

to say for sure. But I don't know. I don't I think the secondary has been addressed as well as you could want it to. At this point. It didn't feel good about any of those tight ends. We didn't feel good about a tackle, and they aren't. What other Are there any other defensive ends that you like more than Tanno that we could go with here, Haul's gone, Smooth's gone. Yeah, those defensive tackles you would take. No, not me. I think you're taking the upside defensive end.

That's the thing with passing. Yeah, I mean the guy might be inactive. I mean seriously, he will be seriously, But I mean it's it's I don't want to be the guy reporting that this guy's inactive. Sixteen weeks. He's gonna be the first Villanova defensive player drafted since how are you long? Yeah? A long time, long time, good one. All right, quick, we gotta make this all right. I'm fine with it. He's a lump of clay that you

can mold. And yeah, I can't expect much as a rookie, but you know what this talk about a four year pick, his late third round, picking outside the top ninety, the top seventy five player, though, isn't he see where having my top one hundred, who better to coach him up than right I'm at ninety one on my board? Okay, okay, so I mean right around where we're picking. Yeah, I'm kind of at that point right now where I think

like that might be the best. But if you're just looking for the guy, he's you know, it doesn't sound like any of the three of us are really thrilled about this. But you look at the you look at who's there, at the other positions, you look at what's available to you. I mean, he falls right in line with where you graded him. So yeah, maybe we shouldn't be as hesitant as we are, considering this is almost exactly where we feel like he should be drafted. No

one's dropping. It's Joe Mixon's not the here, Curtis Samuel's not here. It's not like there's an obvious dropped down candidate either that they could snap up, which I do in the real draft. I wonder if that'll really happen, because I mean, every year there's some kind of right. Every year when Day three starts, you know, it has like Kiper's best available, and you're always like, holy cow, TJ. Clummings, how's he still here? Exactly? Yeah? Oh well yeah, we

need to figure that out so well. But in I mean, in this scenario that we have in front of us, I think that's the best bet. He's somewhere between. He's somewhere between sixty nine and ninety, isn't he on the picks? Yeah? That's me. Yeah, I mean, let's take Hi. Yeah, let's in the real draft. New England's gonna pick him like in the sixties and everybody's gonna be like, oh, the Patriots have done it again. Yeah, and then exactly, okay, so we take him at ninety two. Then all right,

very good. That's complete the first two days of the draft. There we go. First two days of the draft are so after three rounds? No, no, we have a fourth we have a fourth round pick? Still, well, right, that's three three, Brian, come on, Manda three, So Dorry Jackson, Marcus Williams, what do I think it too? Pass? Yeah? First three picks? Yea, how do we think about that? Don't love it? Don't hate it. I mean it's like, okay,

pretty realistic. Though, huh if you think about what and okay that the thoughts you could have had absolutely you you you left out a left out. You left out McKinley because of the shoulder stuff you took. You didn't take Rivers because you you wanted to take a safety

that could help, you know, could help. I like this and if it turns out, I really now that we've done it, now that it's sitting here on paper in front of me, I really like the idea of, like I said, almost turning over your secondary and one felt in you know, in the course of twelve hours or twenty four hours, you've got half of your secondary is young and new and talented. I like that a lot.

Having said that, I think these guys up in the war room and this is just a gut feeling on my part, but I just if I had a gun to my head, I feel like they're going to find a way to get a pass rusher. And so you think at twenty eight, I mean, easier said than done, But that's I mean, when we put out our mock tomorrow morning, our final seven round, Mont, I'll probably mock a pass rusher because I just feel like I think I'm going with Jackson. You think so I am? And hey,

easier said than done. Maybe there maybe Tack won't be there, maybe there will even be few were options when they're really on the clock. Yeah, and in that case, Jackson is fine. But that's a tough call between McKinley and and and Jackson. Though if if if King is gone, yeah right, if King is gone, that that's a tough that's a tough call. I just think their their preference would be would be to get the pass rusher. But again, for the millionth time, he's said than done. Yeah, all right,

let's go to the day three. Let's go at the best day of the draft where we can fill out this froster and w yeah, I remember here we start to day at one thirty or well at the end of the day where at one thirty three and then we and then the fifth round we got Cleveland's one forty five. All right, Instead of going through names that are off the board, let's talk about positions that we want. I'll kind of let you know who's available, Okay, at one thirty three, one thirty three day, what are you

thinking about? Right? Here all right, talked about is there any we addressed our defense the way that everybody wants us to. I mean, if if a pass rusher that we really love is still there, you could talk me into it. Honestly, the same goes for corner. But yeah, you could talk me in a corner. Now you're thinking about you know, you're thinking about tight end is out there. I would really like to come out of this draft with a backup running back for Zeke. That's just me

um and then yeah, and then I'm a corner. I wouldn't have a problem done running back, you like on day three that maybe you would? Uh a target? I mean I love Kareem Hunt. Yeah, Hut's my guy in the top of the fourth Yeah, if I look at a Hunt, Pete, Rhyan Cohen and Pumphrey. But see, I don't need I don't need Pumphrey anymore because I've got Dory Jackson. Dorry Jackson kind of man, so I need it. I need maybe an every down guy. Mac is going not surprising. Oh, Hut's gone. Oh jeez. How do y'all

feel about my BYU Guyma Williams. Yeah, I think if there's a Jordan Howard in this draft. It to him. You know a guy that could surprise the rookie in the right right places. I'd love that I have him in the third. He's gone. Sorry, damn it, Dane, He's awesome. I was getting excited. Small Williams is gone. Mulliams is gone. Damn it. Okay. Looks at the top running back of veil is Jeremy McNichols from Boise State. I have a fourth round grade on him. Solid player, Yeah, is four.

I watched him on tape. I don't disagree with you. Man. You talk about somebody catch the football. Oh, that's probably the best trade. Yeah. Yeah. Receiving ability yeah, is this too early though? Is it toour? I mean they got Darius Jackson for the position? Yeah, right, Okay, Well, it's what other penny wide receivers. Wide receivers we have available here? At the fourth top receiver availables Josh Malone from Tennessee, Ryan Switzer for North Carolina, got that type of guy.

Katie Cannon from Baylor. Those look like the top three. That's a speed guy right there. I don't know. I'm still looking at that runner. You want to upgrade the wide receiver four spots Butler. Yeah, I'm trying any of those four intrigue you can it make sense because of the vertical speed. They sent Miles Austin down there to work him out. They did do that. I And well, I mean they're not married to Bryce Butler by him, Yeah,

I don't think they are. And well, they're not married to Lucky Whitehead at all, so not at all either? Does he make sense? And with yeah? No, I mean he I mean if a Dorry Jackson's going to replace Lucky Whitehead basically with what you can do on special teams in return, man, well, then you can carry Bryce Butler and to Katie Cannon as your top five. Well, and Cannon is I mean he's pretty similar to what you want, right, I mean, yeah, that's he's got vertical player. Yeah,

vertical player. It adds some juice to your receiving corps. Yeah, he would like it better than a running back at that situation. Remind me who's left at running back? If you can McNichols the top guy after him, we have Brian Hill, Matthew Days, uh, Aaron Jones. Matthew Day is a tough guy in North Carolina state. Yeah, but he's that's too way too rich for him. Yeah, I think Cannon makes a lot of sense. I yeah, I'm in I never thought I would be, but I can do that.

I mean the fact, if you could get somebody that could just as they say, blow the top off the defense, that would be your guy. And Katie Cannon's a guy who I mean, typical Baylor wide receiver doesn't know how to run a route, and it just he's there's such a jump from where he wait wait, wait, we got one here he runs round just yeah, sometimes he body catches so right, a big jump from where he is now to where do you think he can be? But with that, that that vertical speed, you get really excited

about what he maybe could develop into. Yeah, so here in the fourth I mean, let's see, I have a fourth fifth round. Yeah, I'm thinking I got him, and I have him actually in the fifth. Yeah, but you might have fourth round pick you get. Yeah, you're gonna have to You're probably gonna have to go right, and we gotta pick coming back here in the fifth round too, And that makes me feel better about this. No mad

and what fourteen picks or something? Twelve picks? Five? Yeah, you got another go Yeah, let's take Cannon here at one thirty three. All right, Cannons wide receiver Baylor was offensive player of the draft, and and you know as much as people again going back to the realism the odds that you're not it's not gonna seven defensive players.

It's just not. It never goes that way. Yeah, honestly, I'll be I'll honestly, maybe not shocked, but I'll be a little surprised if all three of the first Cowboys picks are all three defense, Like, what are the odds that the board actually falls that way. I like the fact that our receiver scouting, former player wide receiver scout went down there and hung out at Baylor, try and get a little idea about him. Man, that gives you

a little bit actual weeking speed, guys, Yeah, exactly. So Okay, So Katie Cannon is the fourth round pick at one thirty three for the Cowboys. On the clock now one forty five. Fifth we got okay, yeah, I got fifth in the trade. Okay, we still stay in offense. Do you like anybody is there a cornerback again? Is am I asking too much here? Or you liking one of these defensive ends? You're liking the Moss kid maybe from youngstense read me, read me? What do we got at

corner top Corners? We have Mark Quez White from Florida State, Trusting Decoud from Oregon's Date thirty visit. It was a thirty visit. Brian Allen from Utah, Jeremy Clark, Michigan. So how about a d you think about a one technique here? One about Vanderhoo's Vanderdoo's the kid from UCLA. Fourth round. He's gone, oh got cha, lsu you available? That's that's your guy. I kind of like him like that. Yeah, I like how tough he is as a one is a one, but I don't know, A fifth round might

be a little rich there for him. I mean I have him the fifth, but they might not like that. Speaking all right, speaking on deep coup though, right, yeah, trusting guy with size, guy with length six two? How long to our sixth round pick? First six round pick I think is two eleven? Yeah, so it's a little bit of a weight. Yeah, that is a long ways. So I mean, yeah, you're going from early fifth to late sixth r H. I doubt that he's still there next time you come up for whatever that's worth Yeah.

Maybe think Dane's book has him as a fifth sixth round grade. But because what's the kid from San Diego State? CAZy? He's hazy? Yeah, gone gone? Does um is passing young? And we just said probably not? Is he good enough that maybe you bump Tyrone Crawford back to tackle? And I mean, I'm getting away. I I think I think Tyran Crawford's gonna play tackle, So I do. I'm sitting here saying like, do they need a tackle? You got yeah, that's no, that's true. You got Colin. They need, they need,

they need to play better. But he's not going anywhere but offensive tackle. Your guy. Connor McDermott's there. Boy, he's athletic, is it? It? Definitely is athletic. You feel like you feel like that Connor McDermott he is. You know, if you watch the tape of him, Miles Garrett had some good had some good reps against Miles Garrett. I thought Miles Garrett embarrassed him, did you really? I thought he embarrass really good. He played really well. Didn't know. No,

That's that's why I have Connor McDermott like down my board. Well, I didn't I didn't think him get embarrassed. But I with the McDermott, I just I worry. I saw I saw Garrett winning on twist stunts and stuff like that more than anything. Yeah, I just I don't see an anchor, Okay, and that's what worries me. All right, Well then yeah, but you like him, No, I have a I have a sixth on McDermott. So I'm still thinking about those

those corners that you were talking about. What about the organ State kid the Coup, Yeah, he's a thirty visit it makes and they don't pick again for it again. It's you know, so that's another guy to add to the odd of the mix, out of the corner mix. And and if they were to get him on top of what you've already done, all of a sudden, I feel pretty damn good about the secondary, considering how not great it looks right now. So I'm I'm on board.

And I know we watched tape of de Coup. Yeah, I didn't love him personally, he was okay, the senior bull if I'm right? Was I right about that? I thought? Yeah? Yeah, And we know they like him, They like him enough to make him one of their thirty guys. Yeah, so yeah, I mean, let's go with the coup then, like, yeah, let's go with the ku there at one forty five. Okay,

we're into now, we're into the sixth round. Two eleven, two eleven, okay, So okay, we've totally addressed this defense now as far as the secondary goes, yeah, secondary, and then we got the pass rush. Yeah, for the future. And then on offense, we had the receiver. So we can look at offensive line, we can look running back, we can even start to look at the quarterbacks. Yeah. Is there anybody at two eleven you like at the quarterbacks day? See quarterbacks available? Bethard he's a big Yes,

he is available. How about Dobbs. Dobbs is gone. Dobbs is going in the top one hundred for something. I don't know why, but he is. People overcompensating from missing on Dak. Yeah pretty much. Think so I know. So, I mean Dobbs, Ask anyone, Ask any Tennessee fan, you know it's yeah, I'll tell you what they think of Josh Dobbs. Okay, so top quarterback, yeah, CJ. Bethard, Chad Kelly's there. But I don't think we're gonna go with that now. I don't think Jared Evans is still there

Virginia Tech. I watched him play. I would rather have Bethard. Yeah, Evans is I think they worked They worked Evans out for Dallas Day too. Yeah. Yeah, I just get the I just kind of got a vibe on this. Beathard. You hearing whispers, Brian. Do you know his grandfather? Yeah? Absolutely, his grandfather was a great man. Yeah, yeah, Bobby, I'm general manager, a longtime Joe manager of the Redskins and San Diego Chargers, won a couple of Super Bowls, won

a couple of Super Bowls. Loves to surf. Seriously, there's a lot of talent in that fan CJ. Bethard. His dad's like a singer, song right, Okay, somebody he told me, Yeah, he like wrote a song that Willie Nelson recorded. I think he's from Nashville. Yeah, that's where they're based. Do you do you think what about like, Okay, if you're talking about tackles, h if you Cannon do anything for you or Magnetson you Canon does. But he is gone.

Magnetson is available. He's the Michigan tackle, right. He combined snub, but I think he's I gave him a fifth, sixth round grade. I think the guy that you're gonna take here likely is the quarterback. I think so in a sixth just okay, that's that's that's the whispering in me because I'm looking, but I'm looking for traits. I think this guy is tough. They are going I think they're going to pull that trigger. I think if we want the quarterback here, Bethard, I think we do need to

take them here because when they're next pick are two sevens. Yeah, we got two, we got two, twenty eight, two forty six. Yeah. I think I think if we want the quarterback, we have to take him here. I think I don't. Yeah, okay, I'm sitting here with him. I'm like, man, there's gonna be more we could do to address the pack. I couldn't have done a quarterback at five. Could we have

in the fifth? Yeah? Uh? Look, you're honestly, when I think about this quarterback class, like after the third round, I don't feel good about anybody again until the late late rounds. Yeah. I mean most of these quarterbacks went off the board in the first four rounds. I mean I don't think quarterback went and that's they went. They went and worked this Beethord out sticks with the sticks went to Iowa City to Wade Wilson. They've done some.

I mean they worked out Peterman too, They've done some. Yeah, the Pittsburgh guy, Yeah, but he's way gone. No, no, no, I'm just like yeah, no for everybody that they're like, oh no, he's I love Peter. We got Derek. Why why don't we doing like they're they're interested in getting a guy. Let's take let's take Let's take Beth. Yeah, let's take Beth at uh at Dallas takes Bethrod to two eleven. So quarterback Iowa Bethord running out of time. We got a five minute window. We'll yeah, we'll make

Dan give us more time. We'll make Dane Kent, sorry, Kent, can't give us more time to finish this thing out. All right, We're a picked two twenty eight right now. Okay, we're sitting there in the seventh round and we're trying to not fight for somebody in free agency rights we don't want, we don't want. We got two picks not to fight somebody in free agency. Well numbers, we maybe let me look at our numbers of where where we're

at on our positions. Yeah, we're okay. At wide receiver. Ye, you have a tight end in mind here, maybe maybe at a young tight end at this point in time, he got anybody to sprinkle from Arkansas? Does he make it there? Gone? He's gone? Okay? How about Carter? Is it Nebraska? Right? He's available Nebraska. He looks like the best tack or tight unavailable as Carter. Okay, we talked about tackles. I mentioned Magnuson, still there, gone, seventh round.

Magnuson's still there. Okay, think about that. You don't probably need a guard running back running back? Okay, go ahead. And for the same reason is Darius Jackson last. Okay, I've got I've gotten my round. I've got Days, a kid I talked about him from North Carolina State Days, Days, Days is gone. Um my guy, Joe Yearby's probably long gone. Top running backs available James Connor from pitt Elijah McGuire

from Lafayette, and your be he's there, all right? Well, actually, well we didn't tell me more on on Elijah McGuire, and I y'all sold me on him. He's a kid from Louisiana Lafayette. Yeah, right, that's what you said, dud. There's a guy, complete player. Guy, he's I mean, he could run, catch block. Reminds me a lot of Kenneth Dixon last, a lot of Kenneth Dixon, a lot and way without the suspension. Yeah. But I'm telling you what though,

that would not be a bad pick right there. I would be totally on board with that one at two twenty eight if I could. I'm I'm totally like it. Yeah, I was trying to get it running back in the fourth. So okay, So at pick two twenty eight, we have we got their Dane who we can back a li Ja McGuire, Elijah McGuire, Layette, Louisiana Lafayette, and yeah, check him out. But he is a complete player. Nice size, he's square, he's tough. We talked about him. I'll tell

me more. He could be a third down guy, Yeah he could. He catches the ball, they throw him at screens and wheels and up the field and he attacks the football. Yeah. He's more than you know, just a you know a little bit wild like that good good, good call there at two twenty Okay, two forty six to O d our draft. All right, so we have gone. We have drafted seven players so far, four on defense, three on offense. Um only one player in the trenches. I think we need to change that. Somebody you don't

want to fight for at this point. Yeah, I would take a tackle or another pass rusher if there's one left that we like. Tackle at Magnet is still there Michigan Bay. He's kind of a little bit of a slow footed guy, he is, but he's tough. Again, I say the word tough. You're looking for traits. He's got some size to him as well, though. Yeah, I like, did you did you see the Alabama state kid where he went? He went to Troy and he just retired. So he's off the board. I can't. Yeah, I know,

how about Collins TCU too too light? He's gone. He's gone because the traits Again, any pass rushers that we like at all, no, I mean it's you could you could take a how about Donna Hue from were like nine picks were nine picks away from the end, Sonny, he's gone. Um, Josh Carraway from TCU areas English South Carolina. That's once once you get past like the fifth round. Yeah, pass rushers, and that's it. I'm looking at this. My one gripe is that I don't know that we did

enough for them in this draft. But I mean, obviously the board falls the way the board falls. Yeah, I mean we made the decision to take the corner Insteata. But let's let's figure this thing out at Seethan Carter still there, Nebraska tight End. Yeah, he's he's not bad. Yeah, he's okay. I mean traits, what your traits? You like about him? Uh, quick hands, so he can pluck. I mean, he's athletic. The just the production wasn't there. Quarterback wasn't

great there either in Nebraska. They am, I right, No, you're absolutely right with that. I mean they he Louisiana kid, a top recruit who went to Nebraska and just just fell off the map. Yeah, I just I don't. I don't think he has anything that really sets him apart as a player as a prospect um, but as a developmental guy. I mean, you could do a lot worse than him. Yeah, So I think he's at him or magnuson the tackle from Michigan and tight End kind of

worries me. We don't really know where Hannah's at Swain should be fine for training camp. They pl you know, I mean, that's that was a late But I'm thinking, you know, the offensive line is like the engine of your team, you know, And I'm like, you know, but they addressed it with Bell and you know, guys like that. That's a good point. They still have Looney in the full. What I liked about Magdeson is he played tackle and guard. He played both positions at Michigan. Okay, him at the

tight end. I vote offensive line. I do too. Just keep doing routine maintenance on that thing. Okay, you know, don't every three thousand miles like there's nothing wrong with adding another guy into that room. Okay, two forty six of Cowboys took Eric Magdeson tackle Michigan. All right, there you have it, Eric Magdeson offensive tackle Michigan. He could play some guard too. I remember watching him. But he

is a little slow footage. Is why he's available in seventh In the seventh round, you're just trying to mean anybody he's a he's got some position flex. Yeah. If he's blocked him, he's blocked some guys too. I mean, you watch the Michigan state games, you know, I mean they blocked some guys in the Big Ten, some Russians and stuff like to just quick recap. Yeah, first round, Dorry Jackson corner from USC Second round, we didn't not pick. We traded back into the first pick in the third round.

Took Marcus Williams saved from Utah Okay ninety two in the third round, Hanno Passigno, defensive end from Villanova. In the fourth at pick one, thirty three, wide receiver Katie Cannon from Baylor. The fifth wit we picked up from that trade back out of the second with it was Trusting Decoude, the corner form Oregon State. Sixth rounds. CG. Bethard, Iowa quarterback. Seventh round. Our two seventh rounders went running back Elijah McGuire from Louisiana La Fayette and the tackle

from Michigan, Eric Magnusson. So four do you see four? Yeah? Four and four four offensive, four defensive, three in the secondary, one quarterback, one running back, one offensive line in the pass rusher. Hey, what that was a How was a

heck of a day? I mean, just having to go through it though, Yeah, I mean you're trying to figure out you know, how your stack your board and all that, and I think, right, I give that draft like a B probably like but and that, But I think that is a great representation of the uncertainty that you're dealing with when you're twenty eight picks. So absolutely no, I mean, and maybe it'll look nothing like that, but yeah, you're gonna have to make those types of judgments and decision.

It could very well come down to McKinley and Jack. It could come down to whether they say, I mean, we're gonna find out there's a big difference about that medical stuff here. This time last year, on Wednesday morning last year, we were like Jalen Ramsey or Ezekiel Elliott yea, he freaking knew it. Yeah, we knew it. And this year it's just not going to be that easy. And there was no shot Miles Jack was even gonna fall out the first Yeah, you know. So it's just so

much changes. I mean, what if I told you last year the day before the draft, you know what that Jalen Smith I think they might take him in the second? Wow? You I think this time last year we were like, do you pick Jalen in the sixth? Yeah, exact no, we're absolutely right. Never know. All right, Well, hey, that's all the time that we have today for the draft show tomorrow, Big day. Yeah, tomorrow will be on the air,

the said, gentlemen will be with me. We're gonna start at six forty five Central Time on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. We will have the first day of the NFL Draft for you. Look forward to that.
