Draft Show: Philosophy Change

Star in Frisco. We've got Brian Broddis, Zack Walt, Chuck Aysha Morrison. I'm Kyle Yeomans as we take you through the next hour, breaking down, investigating, and educating from draft prospects as we are closing in on the two week mark out, how's everybody doing the anxiety? It's kicking in then taking a deep breath. Yeah, it's like I was

telling to Brian about this. You've watched how many corners, how many defensive ends, and every day it's like here you go, here's another guy to go watch, and I'm just starting to get I don't think I'm gonna get enough players. Yeah, I'm almost a two hundred players. Wow, yeah, that's I think to me, that's that's the anxiety you go to. And that's the anxiety that the teams go through. You know, there gets there's certain point in time these teams are building their boards and that the part of

it's fun. And then when it gets down to the end where their board is complete, those last two three days, the anxiety is now like getting ready to draft. Did we do this right? I always said this. I'd go in there and I'm like, please just let these tags start blinking. Give me the good players if you just you know, as I'm looking at them, if the tags would just start glowing, you know, of like, hey, this

is gonna be the All Pro this year. This is gonna be yeah the guy nobody's talking about fifth round. You know that was always but the the the anxiety is real because you you know, there's we I talked about it last week. We were so locked in and doing this job and doing it well. And you want to be right. You want to be able to inform people what you see and people trust you about doing this,

and you're right, Zach. I'm you know, I'm I'm looking at a I'm looking at a corner from Southern Miss last night that I'd already looked at twenty three other corners and I'm like, all right, well, I see what you know. I see the traits and stuff like that, and this is where the guy is going to be. But that's that's your biggest fear, that you don't get to all the guys. And you know, if we did this full time for a living, I'm sure we'd have all the guys, right, we'd have all the time to

go in there. But we have other jobs we have to talk about and other things we have to do. Tell me a little bit about that Southern Miss corner. Eric Scott. He was the last guy you watched coming into today. So what do you think about him? Yeah, you know with Eric Scott, and he's a again, this is a guy that you're you're kind of hearing, Hey, you need to take a peek at He's six wenties one ninety seven. He lines up as the field corner.

And when I say field, there's what we known as the boundary, which is to the sideline, and field is the guy that plays to the bigger side of the field. And look at Beam. He's got some highlights of him. Yeah about this. So if you're watching along, you know, yeah, here's Eric Scott and he's got the size and he's got the ability right there, you'll see the tackle and

the wrap up and stuff like that. He plays a lot of his own coverage, and you'll see him play sideways a lot, and I mean sideways with his technique, and then he kind of trail. He'll trail. Yeah, he'll play with his back to the sideline. He'll trail and then when he has to turn, he'll turn and he'll go. The movement is really really good with this guy. He's not tight at all, and so he'll react to the receiver when he's pressed. And he's not afraid to make tackles.

We've seen that on the little video clips that Beam has provided, and so you know the aggressiveness approach to his game. Seventy eight tackles, he's had twelve pass breakups. He's going to be around the ball, and so at at that size, at six ninety seven, that's a that's a nice, nice looking player for you right there. That has really I think a lot more zone coverage capabilities than he does when he plays in man. What'd you

think about him? I haven't seen him yet. Less than I was watching I watched Alex Austin the Oregon State Corner tell me about him. So, Alex Austin good lengths with a position. I don't think he's as good as Nishan Wright, who is Nishan Wright's brother, Rajon Wright, who plays on the other side. I think I think Rayjon's a better player, but he mirrors receivers really well. I think he passes off coverage in zone, has a good IQ, supports the run, tackles well, hustles to the football. He's

not always the smoothest with his change of direction. Good route runners, I think you're to be able to get separation from him. But he can play press man, shows good zone awareness, makes plays on the ball, and overall, I think that he's a guy that day three sixth round range. Maybe some people might have him a little bit higher. I think he's gonna be a good special teams player, work is a backup initially and then might have the ability to end up being a starting corner

later on in his career. Like Ray Jean, I'd rather take him, but Alex Austen had some potential. I also I was gonna ask Brian, who do you think is better between the kid you watched last night from Southern Miss and your LSU Tiger McKay garner. I would take the Southern Miss kill. Okay, That's what I would do,

because I was very unimpressed watching McKay garner. Yeah, and he's the only LSU player so far that I've been like, oh, I was not a big fan of Okay, So you like Jay Wards, you like Jay Ward, and even watching McKay garner, like, Jay Ward's still out there making. Jay's a good player, and you guys know, I like boy a lot, big fan of his. B Joglari's probably the edge that's not getting enough love from I think draft people right now. We probably should give him a little

bit more attention. But McKay gar it's just his feet is balance, you know, I feel like he just kind of stumbles around at times, and I just don't see a lot of plays on the ball. Inconsistent tackler six two two twelve, Like you can see the frame, the length, I can see why. You know, scouts might say, right, let's get him in here, let's refine, refine the technique a little bit. But on tape I didn't love what I saw. Are USU who was the last guy that

you watched? And somebody that stuck out to you. I'm laughing at myself because I'm trying to read my own hand writing. But no, so I told you guys, ask some questions for y'all. So we get into a point with d N and Outsidelnebacker that we can knowe we gotta stop saying these guys are undersized and this is becoming the new norm. I'm asking that because I feel like so many of the top dns in this draft. Sure, when I look at like a Nick well, he's not a top guy, but he I think he is. Well,

I don't know where you guys have Nick campedon. But when I look like I just and then you go over and you look at a Nick Herbig, I mean, well, let me stay with Nick Campton from Appalachian State. I'm just looking at the fact that I feel like we talk about Nolan Smith, you talk about Will McDonald, you talk about maybe be Olari, Like I keep seeing undersize. I keep thinking, oh, the people consider these gentlemen under sized.

But this feels like kind of this is where some of these twitchy top athletes are from the DN position outside linebacker position, When are we gonna start or is there maybe a transition and transition happening with that position. It's a little bit different, right because you're not looking at six foot four or six foot five and length. You're looking at speed and about six two in strength

and bend all sorts of beds. Right. And then so because I feel like so many knocks on so many of the top dns that we've talked about, um is the fact that maybe they're under sized, so you don't know, like maybe you can run at them. Maybe similar to the conversation of what Micah has talked about, and Micah even has talked about that he's had to build his

callousis this past season. He's had to really take on that physical beating of being a d N at that size, and it's taken some time for him to develop, you know, into being able to get off of the you know, to play that position more more. And so what I'm asking is is, like I wonder if guys dns now are going to start training different coming into this league

because they it just feels like I'm tired personally. I'm tired of saying that a players undersized at the d N position, because I feel like I just keep Oh, he's a little undersized, but he's a playmakers he's crazy. Okay, So which one like? Which one is it? This is? It's funny you bring up Hampton because as I look at my notes, the very last thing I said, need to need to have a vision for his value, you know.

And so you know, I kind of feel like that Nick Hampton at six two two thirty six might be max stout physically, but I you watch him play and he never stops the redirection field, the redirection, he sees double teams, he gets through that. He you know, he's lightweight wise, but he sure does good a good job of playing with power. So if you know, if you have those abilities where you might be short or you might be a little light, you better have other traits

that can kind of carry you for the day. And that's where that's the beauty of scouting. I was talking with I was talking with the guy with the Broncos this morning on the way to the station, and I said, tell me about these wide receivers. Tell me about all these short wide receivers. A guy, I can't I don't have figured out. I figured out I'm getting ready to draft here in a couple of weeks, you know, and you're and you're just like, but you're trying. That's the

beauty of the draft. You got to find these when you're talking about these edges that might be lightweight wise, but what else do they do? Can you can their skill set overcome anything that they any deficiencies that they might have. And that's that's where we're at with that. I've never seen. I've never seen in all these years I've been doings draft since ninety two, I don't remember a draft where I've had to deal with more questions about the size of a player, whether it's being the

height or the weight or you know it. Usually you have a you this is. You know, in the old days, there was a guy less sneat, old scout and we lost, and Less used to say this is, this is These guys are part of the jockey club. And if you know anything about horse race and jockeys are short, he says. And so you know there's that you got that jockey club. At wide receiver, you got the I mean, one of the best players I've seen is one hundred and sixty

six pound owner. Yep, when when have I ever seen that? And it's undeniable too. Yeah, And that's what I'm saying. I mean, this is this is the challenge of these teams to find the the the you know, the Forbes and and look at where Nick Hampton needs to be on your board, because there's a place for these guys. But it is so different from what old Krusty Bryant

has used to when it comes to scouting. Another thing about Nick Campton, I felt like he's dependable in a sense that when he gets a chance to make the play, he's gonna he's gonna out. He's if he gets his hands on you, you're probably gonna get tackles like he's yea. And I like that dependability from a player. And I also said he's gonna win with speed and agility, like that's what he's gonna win with. He's not gonna I don't think he's winning with power right now and all

that stuff. He can work on a shed work, but I just I don't know. I just think that's a conversation to be had about so many of these top dns. I feel like it's undersized all he's a little underweight, he's a little and I'm like, okay, is that becoming a new norm? Is that becoming? Is d ND becoming? Like when I look at Tank and I'll look at some of these guys, I'm like, is night and day, I guess what's You're one of the first, one of

the first guys. When we started this journey many many weeks ago, one of the first guys that you talked about was Will McDonald from Iowa State, YEP. And at two hundred and thirty nine pounds. I will stand here right now and tell you that that Will McDonald is a consideration for them at twenty six. Yeah, at six four, two thirty nine, I will tell you that. Now, we'll see how the board plays. But the fact that Will McDonald, who people saying he's a little bit of this, a

little bit. No, guy's a good football player, really good football player. That is a guy if they go for a defensive end at twenty six, I wouldn't be surprised if it's Will McDonald. Yeah, and you talk about all but that's what I'm saying. But I see the potential. There's the people in the room, there's people in that room that will fight for Will McDonald. Yeah, And there's and that's a great thing about it. If we were in a draft room, she would fight for Will McDonald,

and you would fight against her for Will McDonald. Yeah, that you wouldn't want to go that is this a byproduct because you do see it on film. You see some of the flashes like Zach stops with McDonald specifically, but he's a great example in any other draft class. Is he out of the first round, but because he's sitting at six foot four, two forty, he has that size, he has the frame, he has the potential. She's talking about the trace I'm talking about and a draft class

that doesn't match up the same time. I don't even know, but I think this that's what I'm saying though this draft class. This is a very D D N heavy drafts. Yes, and that's part of it. That's part of why there's so much discussion. But also too, I think when you start it's even to a point of where we look

at linebacker. If you're just a regular linebacker and all you do is linebacker stuff, we're bored, which you yeah, you gotta be able to So what That's what I'm saying is like, is the DN outside linebacker position becoming something where you can get Like we're talking about if you're a little undersized or whatever the case may be, maybe teams are like, we can put some weight on him, we can we can help him get better in that position or whatever. I just feel like, I'm just I'm

personally right. I'm not gonna I'm tired of labeling so many of these great athletes at edge is undersized. Yeah, it's too many of them that are undersized that are good. So we can play like there's certain traits that I don't think you can coach. That's like a Nick Hampton for example. We're just comparing Nick Hampton app state Will McDonald. Will McDonald's a guy. The reason he frustrates me when he wants to turn it on, it's there. It's just

not consistent to me. There's times where he's getting blocked by guys he has no business being blocked by. But then the next snap, all of a sudden, here you go. You've got the bend, you've got the dipping rip. You see the burst off the line of scrimmage. The talents there, there's no question with a Will McDonalds just gotta get him agitated, right, But the differences, Nick Hampton, he's not quitting on any play. This dude hustled him to the football.

You watch him against Texas A and M. He recovers two fumbles, one of them's ten plus yards down the field. Ye right, I can't teach the motor. I can't teach that relentless type of play. You have it or you don't. Where would you take Will McDonald second round is so you've got a second round grade? Would you take him early second round? Like if you let's say the Cowboys trade it out, they trade it out, they pulled the parachute at twenty six, and we'll talk about some trade

scenarios in our third segment. It could be interesting. Would you take him at thirty five? You can get a pick at thirty five, or he's my thirty eighth best player on my board? Yeah, I think I went through my top one hundred because I just knew that I wasn't going to be able to add anybody else into that top one hundred. Sure, so I'm gonna I'm gonna stack. I'm stacking my board. I stacked it. He's my thirty eighth best player, and I'll tell you how I got him.

You're talking about guys like the guys you maybe realistically have a shot at Noland Smith. I got old Smith at twenty one, Jelari at twenty nine, McDonald at thirty eight, and I'm gonna be really wrong about van Ness, but I got him at forty one. Hey, I'm just saying McDonald. But that's what I'm saying. Where do you have Miles Murphy from Clemson? Just fourteen? Okay, so he's up there. See,

that's what I'm saying. If you're talking about second round guys, if they were and again, I think that if they went into a trade back mode and I don't know if they're going to trade out of the first round, I'm just I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if McDonald is a pick if they if they traded back into the top of the second round in that McDonald would be there would be a guy, and that I would But you have to compare him to whatever else

does tight ends the guards. I think we're getting really close the fact that we're hearing reports that they visited with Darnel Wright the Tennessee and we've talked about him. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna go on, Ricord Darnel writes the nineteenth best player on my board. There you go, okay. So with that being said, With that being said, he's better than Tyler Smith, who you took it the same

you know, the Ta Tames, same spot last year. So if they took Darnell right the tackle from Tennessee at twenty six, I wouldn't be happier than that than them taking Towards or or TCU. Kid you said, you said right high. Yeah, I have right at nineteen, Towards at thirty and at thirty four on my top one hundred. Yes, I mean going back to McDonald, I just have edges that I like more like I like King Felix at a case state more. I would take him before that, I think O Gilari is better. I would take b

Jo Gilari as well. Certainly Nolan Smith and Miles Murphy. I've got ahead of both of those guys. But if you were to trade back and Felix and a dk Zoma is sitting there, I'd rather take him than a Will McDonald. So it's it's interesting because and I you should mentioned this earlier. It is such an edge heavy class, the top heavy parts of this edge. I have fourteen addreshers in my top one hundred right now. Yeah, fourteen. It's very that's talented group. There's a lot of guys there.

So does that deter you away from who is your last guy? Who is your last just squeaked in, yeah, uh Colby Wooden from Auburn, Okay, I have a third round grade on Colby Wooden from Auburn. I think the last guy for me would be Young from Tennessee. Byron Young from Tennessee would be He's number ninety five on my board right now. He's one oh four on mine, so he's not too far off. What do you What do you like about Byron Young? I'll tell you what

Byron Young to me. I mean, if you if you just watch him play against some of the better, uh the better tackles that they had in the sec This guy made plays he uh you know, his pass rush. I think there's I think when you when you when you when you really really study him, and that ability that he has to finish the way he does. I mean because he plays on both sides of the defense, and I think his ability to close when he has a chance to run, he can really make to play

the burst, the explosive. This he can capture the edge you talk about, the dip underneath the blockers and the free himself the length to keep blockers off his body. He plays with his hands. I really like that. So he could I said, you know, maybe if he has a knock, he does a decent job of holding the point of attack, but you could, you know, but you don't see him getting driven off the ball all that much. So I think when you put him on the move, you can use him in the twist game and stuff

like that. I think that's where Byron Young can really really help you. Big fan of Byron Yellingham and we talked about this last week. I think you look at the timing of his get off off the snap, he might have some of the best explosion burst get off amongst any of the edge rushers. For me, it was it is he doesn't get knocked off the ball, but he needs to play with more power and maybe needs to put on a little bit of strength to He just doesn't get off blocks as consistently as you'd like

to see. But he's a splash player for me, like I think Byron Young, if you if you don't take an edge early, you want to take a guy in that third round range, I'd be a big fan of taking him out of Tennessee. What do you think about Amisha? Um? I let his hands like you talked about, I wrote down heavy hands, yep. So when he's chopping that hill or he's he's hand fighting, and I think that's advanced to some degree for you know, asolutely he talked. I

listened to Tank talk about hand tech. That's not something he really mixed into his game until the latter part. So um and you talked about his length. I feel like he knows how to keep people at bay right with his arms. He understands spacing as an edge player, and I think that's important. So I also too, I remember when I was asking y'all like to have y'all gotten them mixed up? I got them mixed up. Byron

youngs y'all if y'all don't know. And there's one that plays DT for Alabama, right, we were talking about that I was interested in as well. So so this is a great wrap up to the conversation that we had because Byron Young is another one of the prospects that when you look at the size, it's not idea. It's

not perfect. It doesn't it's not he's not a prototypical player because it's hight seventeenth percentile weight, fourteenth, arm length, thirteenth, hand size, twelfth all very much so below the average in terms of edge rushers in the NFL combine when he was measured. However, like Zach was saying, I mean athleticism very it jumps off the page. Ten yard split was there, forty yard dash? I mean, you go out and you run a four four three, you're gonna you're

gonna turn some heads. And he did that. But that's the thing. You can see that on film. You can see him getting around guys, you see him getting inside. He plays that finesse game. But I like the hands too. There's some power, there's some strength in there too that's able to kind of combine it. I like him as a I had a third round grade on the guy, or fourth round grade, early fourth round grade. How y'all feel about him as a run defender? You know, That's

what I'm saying. I think to me, there was a little bit I used the word decent and I hate when I use words like that, but idiot want to cop out word. I don't know what I was doing. It might have been one oh five in the morning when I'm type sitting. Good for you, the decent RUNDI what's decent Brian really to be honest? Average relative? Yeah, but no, I think when you know, it's not one of those things where you say, man, this is a

this is a a trait flaw. I don't see that as being a trait flaw with this guy's no liability that he's really better when the ball is going away and he could just run his you know, pursue the chase. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no question. All right, I like it. Good conversation, guys. Let's let's answer some Twitter questions, including maybe Kicker late in the draft. A lot of people asking about Kicker.

We're gonna talk about that situation when we come back with more of the Draft show on Twitter on the twenty next.

Five questions. Here we go on some Twitter on the twenty, Twitter on the twenty. Here we go, all right, what was this? What was that? What was like a religious experience over there? Going on? That's what Twitter on the twenty does to you. I'll try to stay low key

over here today. Day Ryan, it's the draft in the back room. Let's feeling the Oregon there. We had multiple and I at least five, six, seven, I haven't counted all of them, but multiple questions about kicker. So I'm not gonna say everybody's name. Jake Moody. There we go. What do you think about the kicking situation with the Cowboys? Is it okay? Brett Mohurt doesn't seemed like he's an option, at least from what we've heard from the breadcrumbs of

the Jones family in front office. But is it gonna be a rookie kicker or are you gonna go out and get a veteran kicker? What's your option on the table if you're looking at specially you just kind of talked about this in the previous show on the break was I was hearing whispers that Bones has got some guys in mind. I meant, I just did the name out Jake Moody because of Michigan. He's the best kicker in the in the draft, him and Chad Ryland from

Maryland or the two kickers everybody's talking about. Jake Moody might be a fourth fifth round guy. He would probably be the first kicker off the board for sure. Listen to people talk about or with Bones situation that he had two or three guys in mind. And when we get to post draft, that's when we're gonna probably hear about a veteran kicker that's gonna be okay. So I couldn't get any nat I couldn't get any names. But like I say, the two kickers, like Jake Moody from

Michigan is a fourth fifth round guy that's off. Dane Bruegler's the Beast, which everybody should get. Yes, came out this week. It's fantastic, it's always and then Chad Ryland from Maryland is a six or seventh round guy. So those are the two guys that Dane has possibly, but there's probably he's glisted twenty possible kickers that could be

undrafted free agents. So maybe somebody out of that group will show up as well, any any priority free agent sort of talk, because yeah, you could go out and get a veteran, but maybe one of these guys is on the board, on the radar of bones fossil and he's able to That's that's his job though. He's going to evaluate all these kickers. I mean, he's going to talk to the coaches, he's you know, it's his responsibility.

Like when Will McClay is going to ask him, is there any kicker that we need to go throw cash at? They did it with what Garabay, right, Yeah, they went out and got Garabay from Texas Tech last year. They determined that you know he was you know when it was Dicker, the kicker from Texas. All these names of guys, it's like, no on all this Garabay, he's one of the best in the country. And then we all got to Oxnard and he was, you know, he was he wouldn't quite getting it down and that one didn't go

very well. No, so that's what I'm saying you you've got it. But but let's be honest here, and I said this on the break. If you're going to play defense and you're going to run the ball, you better damn will have a kicker. No, better have a kicker, because you're going to be in games where if it's close, it's tight, you do not want to be missing field goals and you can't just kind of say, okay, well we're gonna run the ball and because that just that

takes time, sure, does you know? And if you're not going to score a whole hell of a lot of points and you're gonna play defense, you better be able to knock those down with a minute seven left in the game. Happens to be a kicker out there who is a free agent that you might have seen in the playoffs that has never missed a postseason field goal. Yeah, cost a little penny, but he's he's good. He's absolutely

very good down with it? Yeah, uh sorry, I have a question though, Yes, what place do you have to be in to draft a kicker? And I'm and I'm not saying in an at insulting way, I'm really asking, like what because it seems if you're the Raiders from way back in the day the first round they drafted Jenikowski Sebastian Jenikowski with the eighteenth overall pick, I was with. I talked to John Gruden after that one. John and

I were friends. I go, you just drafted a kiarric He guys, yeah, we just got the best kicker ever. And I'm like, and the guy played for a thousand years. He did, he played for a long time. It signed multiple contract. That's some teams. Some teams the Raiders have a history of that they drafted. They've drafted punter from

the first round too. Are there some guys that you look at them maybe are you're like, do you have that mindset like if this guy hits just similarly of like, okay, if this guy hits, he could be a great kicker for a long time. And it's something we're not gonna have to deal with for a while. Is that why people would go kicker, because that's why you would draft the guys if you think you you can have him long term and you can rely on him. Yeah for years, yeah,

last year. Yeah. Kate Org is a great ending. So it's not a desperation thing to need a kicker, because it just seems so. I don't see it happened at all. But you got to think about think about some of the fourth and fifth round picks you've missed on that if you would have just drafted that kicker, you wouldn't have to you know, what's my guy at the Ravens That Justin Tucker? Justin Tucker. He's the best kicker probably ever outside of vintage. Okay, like maybe he's posing in

on that maybe three or four years ago. I mean, he still make feel he's still one of the best there is. If you told me I could give the twenty sixth pick of the draft for Tucker for Tucker, I would think about doing it, knowing knowing that I have my kicker. He's as valuable as any He's as valuable as any player you might drafted twenty six Well, yeah,

you were bringing up the point. I think it was after training camp, Like would you have gone out and swapped taking York, who was from Prosper ended up going in the fourth round of the Browns for your fourth round pick, Jake Ferguson. Yeah, now, I think we're all super pumped about Fergie, especially if they don't go tight end.

He's your tight end one. But some of the kicking woes they had, and Kaid York was good last year for the rounds, I mean, yeah, I don't if you take a kicker in the fourth round that you like, I don't think it's ever. There's Tea. Tampa took Aguayo Aguayo, Roberto Aguayo Florida Stay second round, second round, and he was out of the league by the end of his rookie contract. He was buzzed Justin Tucker for instance, I mean undrafted free agent from twenty twelve. I mean, it happens.

It's just it's luck of the draw. Sometimes it's like that with the draft anyways. So you got to find a way to kind of balance that out. You might look at it like if you have a compensatory pick, you know that fifth round, compensatory three, and you're like, you know what, I'm just gonna go ahead and draft a kicker here and let's you know, everyone'll say, oh, look at them being smart. No, it's look at them being like we don't have a kicker. Yeah, we need

to fill the spot. Yeah. There's a lot of things that Brian says on this show that I want to start making a T shirt Lyne out of last year, it was the I'm car Loft. That was my favorite part of the whole. This one was you damned well better have a kicker like that, Like, damn well, have a kicker. Just have that on a shirt, and I think it would sell all right. Rose As, how many actual first round grades do you guys have on your board? I feel like this year the second round grade start

after about nine or ten guys. Is that a fair assessment? So he's he's a little bit lower on this draft normally eighteen to twenty maybe even up to twenty two, twenty four. How many of you have? Brian Johnston's wide receiver from TCU is my twentieth player and the last one in the first Wow. Okay, so you have twenty full first round grade? I do, Zach, do you what do you got? Yeah? I'm in that like twenty to

twenty five range. Probably the same the same there. I'm a little bit more optimistic about the receivers than I think some others are. And I've got like four receivers that i would take in the high in the first year. I think high. It's very fringe, you know, first second kind of range. I agree with you. I actually, Brian, when we first started, when we first started the draft show, remember we like one of our first shows, I was like, dang, there's a lot of good corners, and it was like,

it's not that many good receivers. But when we start looking into these receivers, I think it depends on what you consider good and what you're looking for schematically, what you want this guy to what does guy to do? So I agree with you. I think I do have a few more guys I would be okay to comfortable. No, yeah, absolutely so, I would say I think I have about twenty two twenty in that same kind of the same

range as you. That's usually what you're gonna get every year when you do this, I always find there's between eighteen and twenty two. Yeah, that's that's the number that you're trying. You generally live with. Last guy I have is I'm trying to find the last guy because they're all by position. I think it's Jamir Gibbs and he's at nineteen for me. So I've got nineteen first round

grades that I can see my twenty first player. Just the first guy at the top of the second is Nolan Smith, and Nolan Smith might very well be a first round Yeah, the first round grade on Nold. Okay, you guys are probably gonna be right. We'll see, probably gonna be right. You think he's too small, No, I'm just okay, we gotta stop. Damn it, you guys. Nolan. Nolan is like the perfect definition of that because he's

got that very kind of slender frame. He he doesn't act, doesn't Yeah, he is more of a Micah Parsons type comp for me, when you look at deal the edge, Yeah, let me let me add it all right, flu asks which draft prospects do you not want the division rivals to draft in the first round? Which ones do you think that are possible? I mean the first one's got to be Love of the Star podcasts. The other day

we were on Love of the Star podcast. We were on the other day and Brian Baldinger was on and he lives in Philadelphia, and we just were talking about Bijean Robinson and and I've never seen a fan base more lined up for a guy than they are for Bijan Robinson at ten. And our fan base is like, please don't do it, Please don't do it, in a way of like we don't want too though, because obviously, like a month ago, and there's been a lot of Bijan boz for the Cowboys that Philly is patty. They

know what they're doing. They're doing it on purpose. Probably they not even let's move on running back team Dallas Goddard right in front of the Cowboys. But you're you also, you brought it up about they're lining up in the in city. I mean, they're doing radio programs about that. You brought it up at kicker you said, you said, what type of position do you need to be in to be to draft a kicker? It's the same thing

with Bijean. What type of position do you have to be in as a team to draft just the best player on the board. Yeah, I can see the ELI is ready to do that. Their minds that they got two ones they got there. They're coming off a Super Bowl appearance, they've got what was the best offensive line in the league. It's a luxury kick. They can afford to make that pick. Not But look, people, just at twenty six. It's not like you took Zeke in the top five of the draft. You're picking at twenty six.

I don't think Bijean Robinson's there. He's too darned good. But I don't understand the hate of oh, my gosh, the positional value. I got annoyed yesterday on on the g bag Nation. I've heard complaints about tight end. Oh the positional value. Who are the good first round tight ends? You can't take them? Oh the positional value at running back, linebacker, you can't. You know what, screw it, Let's pass on

the pick. Let's not take a player there at twenty six, because we're gonna nitpick every single position that's now worth the first round pick. It gets a little bit annoying. Just let me take the best player, and that would be be j On one hundred percent, ten days out of Sunday. And I made that up. I don't even think that's the same. But that's how irritated feel. I can feel your rage, my friend. It's frustrating. It's like, well, we'll make we'll make excuses, and here you can't do that.

You can't do that. Look, tell you what the player turns out to be good for years from now, you're not going to be complaining that you took them. I don't know, if you're real quick. I don't know if i'd want the Commanders to get a Will Levis, would you rather than get a Will Levis or like an Anthony Richardson or just not a quarterback? I just go I think with Will Levis, I have him ahead of Richardson as what I do. What about Hindon Hooker, Hindon

Hooker I have behind those guys. But yeah, I mean I would give you know, if you just off my top one hundred, don't give a number one? Yeah, don't give them. Please? Do you have Hindon Hooker number one? Please? No? What did not say all of that? Okay? You I could see it in your eyes. You're like, I will say this. I wouldn't. I don't particularly want the Giants to get Addison the wide receiver, Okay. I don't want

the Giants to take John Michael Schmidtz. And I'm really nervous that's going to happen the center around in Minnesota at twenty five. Who I'm in love with. Yeah, I've heard a lot of buzz out of New York. I mean, think about it if they make that pick. I was just on their podcast so that they were talking wide receivers in the corners. You've got two book end tackles you've taken. Now in the first couple of rounds. You add him the best interior linement in the draft and

John Michael Schmidts. All of a sudden you figured out your offense. Trying to kiss up a little bit to say, kuon Barkley, who did not sign his franchise. Uh, is it Andrew Thomas Thomas? Yeah, okay, first rounder out of Georgia. He's left. Yeah, he's there right up. Yeah, who I'm not thinking about that was not they They took the Bama kid and he had a little bit of an up and down year. We had Flowers too, was another Flowers was not long time ago. He was not good.

They moved him to guard and he was much better. I mean, I don't know. They signed the Patriots tackle a few years solder he was he was a miss for them. Yeah, they draft a lot of injury. Hernandez, the guard at a Utah was the guy and that one didn't work out. But Schmitz would be a hell of a pit surprised me, Brian talking about the commanders, because if I'm not mistaken, you were pretty high on

Sam how No. No, that's what I'm saying. No, no, no, I I am, and I think they should have played Sam how earlier last year to kind of figure out what Sam Howe was all about. You know, I do like, but I worry about them. Trust me. Will Levis is a better player than Sam how You know that. That's I feared the Commander's actually getting a quarterback because with the skill that they had, they're building their offensive line. I that defense is pretty good. I don't need them

to get better at quarter with you. If I'm a Cowboys fan, dang if I'm If I'm Philly though, and I need safety. This is this is not the draft to be like I need a safety. They need safeties. I mean maybe maybe maybe some will fall to them well or just be there, because Lord knows, there's not a whole bunch that aren't gonna be in the box. What is happening. It's a free safety, y'all, what is happening? Yeah, there's a lot of strong it's a drought of it.

It's free. Like what is the free safety position becoming or is it? Is? It just not that many of them. I just don't think it's the way the college game is being played that you see a lot of true free safeties. Okay, yeah, I just you know the way that your people are spreading me out and stuff like that, so you're having a kind of you know, you're having to trying to keep safeties in the box in order

to handle the run because you're so spread out. So I will say this, my guy Johnson at Texas A and m Antonio Johnson, that's he's a heck of a player. If you if you ask me if I can have a free safety, I can. I'll take your guys. Skinner skinner from a boy Boise, I'll take that cat too. I mean, I think I love that. I think it's more of a third round kind of a group, depending on what you think about Branch from Alabama. You know, people got him at corner safety. I mean, I've talked

to everybody. I'm just going to see him getting drafted. That's I think he's the first safety that's going to be off the floor. Agreed. And Gentavious Martin from Illinois, Illinois. Yeah, and geez that Illinois secondary. He was a late watch for me. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna come out on the record here and he was a late watch. I got him at ninety on my board. Did not put him in the draft magazine as a bio. He was not in my top ten safeties. He's number seven on

my late fan. I used to do that magazine myself. It's part of it whenever you have to turn it in a month ahead of time. Yeah, but I went back and watched him, and then of course the Beast came out a couple days after. I was like, man, I think I missed this guy. And then Dane's got him like what three or four in his list, and it's like, oh, man, like I missed him. But that's okay,

all right. Another question, Casey says, if Ferguson or Peyton hinder Shot were in this year's draft, where would you rank them among the other tight ends that are in the group Pitt Shot or Jake Ferguson If you were to rerack them and put them in this draft instead of the twenty twenty two draft works I have them. I would take I would take Mayor, Kincaid, Musgrave, Washington Craft over all of them, and even Laporta. I think it's what I would do. They would be behind all

those guys am on my on my book. Yep. I don't know that they would be in the top eight. I mean I think that you could make a case for a guy like Josh Wiley, not a Cincinnati uh even you know a Brenton Schoonmaker from Schoomaker. I like Schoomaker from Michigan. I like Strange from Penn State. Did you mention him? Ago? Just mentioned him? See that That's

what I'm saying. I like Ferguson would kind of be be right there with a painter or I had Ferguson a fifth round last year on my board, so I you know, I to me, I you know, do you miss him? Yeah? Maybe so. But I think that I think this is I think this class at tight ends we have is is very I'm not gonna say rare, because the positions starting to become more important. You're getting these big wide receivers that convert to tight ends. You know,

that they use in the slots and stuff. So yeah, they would be to me, those are fourth fifth round guys in this current Yeah, right around ten maybe for Fergie tenth best tight end in the class, I would Yeah, I think i'd have them. Well, you're talking about drafting one at twenty six because these guys, I mean the Kincaid's and the Mayors and the and the you know the others are or Musgraves and upgrade the position. It's an upgrade and it's not a shot at your own guys. No,

Is that why they're going? Is that why they're higher? You know, just because we're talking about every position and how everyone each draft is different, with this draft in particular. Is it? Is it just because this is just so happens to be a special bunch or just a more skilled bunch. Is that what? That's what y'all say? I think? So, I think this is a really good draft for tight ends.

I just think there's a good amount of them. I think college football in general is starting to catch up to the NFL and how to utilize tight ends too. So these guys are more pro ready than ever, and I think you're seeing kind of the the byproduct of that. It's hand in hand to what you were just talking about. You have a tight end that could play in the slot or flex that gets up the field. You don't have a safety that can cover it's a match. You

don't have a linebacker that can cover him. Yeah, you know that's what these colleges are figuring out. Yeah, you know, even even though you know, uh, you just go through the list. You mentioned Wiley from Cincinnati. I mean, these guys, they they play him flex, they play them outside, they're up the field, Washington you I mean, I was watching Stetson bend it the other day from Georgia and next thing you know, they're throwing the ball in the red

zone and who's he's throwing it to? Washington? You know why? Because nobody can cover Washington absolutely seven seven luck Nobody can cover that big guy running down the middle of the field like that. Yeah. It's one of the best mismatches you can have on the field, period. And and you look at these tight ends, it seems like the best athletes are playing tight end. I mean you're getting

defensive ends that are converting. I mean sometimes you get the opposite, like Dawn White, Ken White at a Georgia Tech, who wasn't tight end. Now he's playing defensive end. But the athlete that is now playing the position, it's no longer just hey, let me run a curl for five yards, catch it, fall down. These guys are stretching the field

and making plays down the field. I had a conversation with Mike McCarthy last year and he said his favorite type of football player period, not just position position less six foot five, two hundred and forty five pounds. You can't have enough of those guys, the long, lanky athletic players, and the most of the time that's gonna be edge rusher, that's gonna be tight end, and there's gonna be where

those two guys fit in the best. So the more you can have on your team not only for their position will fit with tight end and edge rusher, but with special teams and having a lot of those guys to rotate through. That's why they do utilize those positions so well. Last question, so we can get to five, Connery says, I have a feeling that one of the top corners may fall to the Cowboys at twenty six. Would that be an easy choice if one of them is to make that make it and are you in

a position to make that pack? All right? At the top corners? Are we talking about Porter Gonzalez Witherspoon. I don't think any of those guys he's saying hypothetically, yes, I take any one of those guys absolutely. I would absolutely take because that's players nine, eleven, and thirteen on my top one hundred. Is that a CD lamp situation where you feel like you're good at the position but

you just can't pass. You can't go wrong with anyone of those corners, Porter Witherspoons, You can't go wrong with any right, And that's another thing. It's like, oh, you've got corners, so why are you gonna take you corner? No? All right, look at look at your roster, and guys didn't you didn't at the end of the season, Right, you have how many off the street and how many of you have that are beyond this year? You're not just picking for this year. You're not just picking to

line up here in twenty twenty three. This is a pick for multiple seasons. Is he Mquamo one year deal? Gilmore one year deal? Right? Jordan Lewis is a guy that's going to be up after this year, you're gonna have a need at the position, so that that player might not get on the field a ton rookie season maybe due to injuries. You need like four good corners now in the NFL. But that's a that's an insurance

play for the future. And then you also have the contract situation with Diggs coming up, Well, you need that player probably play special teams because you lost a couple of guys on that side. Speaking of special teams, that's why I have a question for you guys. Looking at this class, I feel like I keep seeing dbs that have returned ability. Yeah, I keep seeing wide receivers that have return ability. I was looking at Trey Palmer last night from the Braska right did the cup. I love

me some Cavant Turpin. But when you look at this draft class and how many guys have returnability that could not only help you there, but be maybe players later down on along the line, did they jumped a gun? They did? They jumped a gun with paying him? Well, do you guys think, do you guys think that maybe there's someone in this draft that you could get better in another position and they have returnability? Because I just feel like I've run into. I think even Sydney Brown

has return ability. Therebs that have it. There's I mean, there's running backs to have it. That's the one knockavent against Kavante Turpin, right, is that he's so good at being a return man, But what does he contribute outside of that role? So I think that I'm just asking, like, do you take a player that has return ability with that in mind? Because I just feel like there's quite a few in this draft. In this draft in particular, can I throw a name at you? Then? On your question,

would you take Dell over Turpin, both of the same size. Absolutely? Yes, is a better player, but a better receiver, right, He's an incredible route right, Yeah, I don't know. I'm not as high on as most people. I'm really not. I don't think he was as good as a lot of people are saying. I still think he's a decent player, don't get me wrong, But I don't know if you could utiz like, what does Tank Dell bring you that

Kavante Turpin doesn't actual routes? Yeah, I think he's a much better route run said the same thing about Turpin come out at TCU though, But the thing about the thing about Dell is my number one hundred player, and I think I got hi miss one hundred because I think that you can actually run routes with him. There they were there was something that they there was a disconnect and maybe it was Kellen Moore and now he's gone,

but there was a disconnect. I was thinking after the bye week that, Okay, get ready for the great for the Turpin packages. Get ready for it. You know, never saw it. Now he broke some big runs and some big games, you know, and he should have had more touchdowns, to be honest with if he's not running into kickers or other things. I think if you said between those guys that are slight built, if you said who could play receiver better in a game, I think Dell could

play better than Turpin in a game. And I think his return ability is just as good. Yeah. I think the knock on Turp is all right, go fight for the football. It's a contested football. Can he go up and get it or is he going to get kind of bullied? Tank Delle goes and gets the ball, man like that ball's in the air. Tank deal despite the five eight frame, He's gonna go up and make a play on the football. Yeah, I would definitely. I think I would definitely take did switch him out? Oh, I

would switch them out a heartbeat. But I just I just wondered what the Cavante Turpin thing unless they are planning on using him in the offense moving forward. I feel like depending on who they draft and if that person does have return ability, it'll kind of tell me personally what maybe they're looking maybe their vision is there. Because Malik Davis is like your number two back right well, number three back right right now? I mean Tony Pollard

is your number one running back now? He was like, was he the backup return guy or he was one of the return guys that you can't have that. No, you're not letting those CD's not doing it either, absolutely, So there's no returner besides him if he gets injured, who's this guy who's stepping up there? I would like to personally maybe bring in a guy that can help you somewhere else maybe next year, but has returned to build true There you go, great questions all the way

around Twitter on the twenty. Appreciate you guys. We'll be back with it again tomorrow when we come back thumbs up at thumbs down? Are we trading up? Are we trading down in the first round? What's going to happen here in a couple of moments when we come back with more of the draft show. I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.

Brian brought us, Zach Wolchuck Gusha Morrison, I'm Kyle Yeoman's We've got Chris Beam running everything in the back. All right. We have

some trade scenarios. There's been a little bit of buzz, a little bit of buzz that the Cowboys may not be comfortable staying put at twenty six. So let's take a look at some of their options. These are just a couple of options, and these are courtesy of CBS Sports. Garrett is it Podell? Is that how you say it? Jones? Right? Garrett Podell called it thanks for your work. Arrett, appreciate you, Garrett.

So he put together three different trade scenarios. Two of them are trading up to go get a certain prospect. I'll outline a prospect in each of these scenarios just to make it fun. And the other one is to trade out, pull that parachute and go to the second round. We're gonna start. I want to first off, I want to give a thumbs up or thumbs down. Are you gonna do this or are you gonna stay put? Depending on the scenario. Trading up to nineteen, you go and make a deal. You get on the phone with the

Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You give Tampa Bay your first round pick, your third round pick at ninety and at twenty twenty four fourth round pick to go up from twenty six to nineteen. The guy that you want to go up and get is Jackson Smith and Jickba. He falls to nineteen, so inagury concerns, teams aren't necessarily loving the medicals. He

falls to nineteen. Do you go up and you go get your guy Jackson Smith and Jickba at nineteen, Zach Will Chuck, I know you like Jackson, Are you in on that giving up your first, your third, and a fourth next year. It's a lot to give up. But yeah, I mean, I think he's heading shoulders the best receiver in the draft. So if you really want a wide receiver, I'm i'd go up and make the move and go get that guy like I think JSN is going to be that dude. I'm a I'm a big, big fan

of his game. I'm not really in favor of trading up in this draft class, but for Jackson Smith and j you don't need to convince me. It's got to be the right process. I'm all for it. That's a guy like him, Joey Porter from Penn State the corner. I would move up for either of those guys and say, let's party, would you do it? Aisha? It's a lot a third and you're going up seven spots, it's all you're going. That's not very far up there, but you're getting a guy that you see has fallen right, what

do you think we got to make a determination here? Okay, okay, what's we gotta make a determination? Are we We're gonna go get a wide receiver? Right on my board, that would be the seventeenth best player so I'm I'm in. I'm in for going that direction, all right. We got to determine, though, who are we going to give up? Are we going to give up Zavala North North Carolina State, it's a guard pick. Are we gonna give up Spears, the running back from Tulane? Yeah? Are we going to

give up potentially? Uh? How about Hinsley the linebacker from UH from Washington State? Yeah? Are we gonna give up one of these corners? Phillips Rush, Cameron Smith or Cam Smith? Are we gonna give up one of those guys? Are we gonna give up maybe a tight end? Are we gonna give up maybe Laporta here? Or you know, We've got to determine this. There's a lot of good third round grades. That's what I'm saying. If you look at your board and you say we don't need we could

we could. We could sit here and pick at twenty six and talk about maybe taking Bijean Robinson or taking one of these guards, or taking one of these, uh, these defensive ends. We could talk about that, but no, we're gonna probably lose one of those guys. I was talking about Laporta, Zavala, Spears, maybe even our Kansas State defensive end, you know Ozama. Yeah, and now I maybe maybe have him high. Maybe there's somebody that falls out of the back end of the second round that we're

gonna lose. Yeah, you know, that's what we have to determine right now, if we're comfortable not having that third round guy of all those names that I kind of mentioned, and I just I just went off my board, right, I didn't you know, I didn't go off your boards. I went off my board. Yeah, that's that's the consideration.

And I don't know. I don't know if and even though that Smith and Jigbi is the seventeenth best player on my board, do I want to lose the possibility of grabbing a tight end or grabbing another guard, or grabbing a running back. You know that I really really like. Here's some of the third round options, at least on my board at wide receiver. If you were to pass on Jackson Smith and Jake Bill, you can maybe pick

one up later. Cedric Tillman from Tennessee, Tank Dell from Houston, At Perry from Wake four is k Shawn Boutet from LSU. So there's options there after the first round, But are they all as in tossing as Jackson Smith and Jake Will probably. Yeah. My options on the third round are Tillman Mims read from Michigan State, Rice Smiths mu Perry from wake Force. Those are my options in the third round, and Marvin Mims. I'm very open and out. I mean,

I'd be very interested. But to me, if you can go up and get the best player at the position, I'm not going to be upset about that. And my number one guy, I would sacrifice the additional pick because

I think you're cool. You're cool with not picking in the third then on that, right, Yeah, And I think that there's a possibility if you really wanted to, if one of these guys slides that you're like, oh man, we gotta go get them, maybe you make another move if you have to when you're sacrificing picks for next year. But the hope is you can recoup some with the comp picks, right, Yeah, I think you're kind of factoring that in the Cowboys doing excellent job when it comes

to the compensatory picks. There anybody that's gonna get a comp pick. Maybe Connor McGovern Maybe maybe McGovern. Yeah, McGovern should I think it would be hard. I think it would be hard to get back that. I think it would be hard to get back that four. I think we're looking at a five. I think we're looking at

fives and sixes with our guys as well. Looking at right now now that four, that four that we're giving away, that might be like a fifth round pick when when you look over all those which struggling, because the mid rounds in this draft, you got some death, it stretches. It feels like second third round is money. That's where people gonna make their money. There's so many players that are gonna fall into that place that you can probably get quality starters out of. I just I would really

struggle to give up a third in this draft. So your thumbs down, Yeah, I'm down. Thumbs up, Sugg, I'm thumbs up for the right player, although thumbs up Brian Man, I'm for him. I don't know. I think, I don't know. I struggled with the scenario though, yeah, I struggled. I'm also I'm gonna I'm also looking to my board and I'm thinking that if as my stack, I've got Bijean Robinson as my third best player on my board he's not available in this scenario. In this scenario, he's out,

he's out. Would you move up for Beijean? The problem? Okay, now what I have, No, I don't think I would. I would. I'm just gonna sit it and let it go, and I'm gonna try. I'm gonna. I know that, Oh so you wouldn't do that same move if Bijean was there, I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm just gonna go with it because my my fallback on that would be probably Big Gibbs or somebody like that, or maybe maybe if I don't give up my third round pick. I'm saying, who

the player is? The player with Robinson, I'm just gonna I'm gonna sit it and I'm gonna and I'm gonna try and see if he'll get there. To me, I'm just gonna bet that the league might not value the running backs like they should. Now I'm gonna walk a minefield for sure, but I but I'm just I'm giving the players due. I'm putting him where he needs to be. I don't think I'm trading up for the guy. I

really really don't. We're running out of time, but I want to get to these other two scenarios real quickly. This one's very similar, but you're trading up to seventeen with the Pittsburgh Steelers going and getting this guy that Brian values so much, Colijah Cancy out of Pittsburgh, the interior defensive lineman, defensive tackle. You're going up to get Cancy. Steelers would get the first round pick, the third round pick, and this year's fifth. So not only are you not

picking in the third, but you're picking. You're not thinking. I'm not no, I'm not going too much. I'm not doing that either. I think I wouldn't do anything. I think he's a second round player. Yeah, okay, there you go. So no, I would do it for Jackson Smith and jakebo especially if you only had to give up the one pick this year. I don't know about the two picks. And then his last scenario is actually trade down, so this one might value aisha trading down to thirty eight,

so you're out of the first round. You do not get that fifth year option on these guys. But the Raiders is who you make the trade with. They give you an extra third round pick, and they give you, of course thirty eight to go down what is that twelve spots? You go down twelve spots, but they only give you a third round pick? Is that worth it? Would you do that? Okay, let's think about the players. So you got to assume that thirty eight of our guys,

say thirty your top one hundred on my boarder. Gone, that's that's just how I'm going to look at it right there. Ye, So thirty ninth player is Mazzi Smith from from Mischisian State. For me, I think they would do that. Yeah, so now I'm looking at Okay, now the potential of I'm looking at maybe so thirty nine, so I'm looking at forty right from there on back. See my my thirty ninth player is Andre Carter, the

second from Army. So I mean outside of that, you still have quality players and you're gonna get too because you get to pick both at thirty eight and at fifty eight. Yeah. But see that's what I'm saying. Okay, Mazzi Smith Ringo would be Mike would be a guy that I would have there because he would be forty

on my board. I'm looking for forty one. I have him stacked like I exactly need to have him stacked when they're saying in order, Emmanuel forms Downs is there at forty two, that's the kind of player I think you're looking at. I think you're looking at Mazzi Smith. I think you're looking at I think you're looking at Oh, I've got van Ness there at forty one? Is he gone by that point? He is at thirty four, so he would be gone, he would be in that range.

Maybe I think so too. Yeah, we'll see. That's what I'm saying, though, if you just assume that if you just take your numbers and you just say that they're gone, they're all gone. Say you're top thirty, because we're picking at what thirty seven? Did you say thirty eight? So I'm just saying that thirty seven of my top one hundred a gone. Just I'm saying that just to kind of so I'm right there with Washington Downs. I'm really really close on Flowers right there by the way, you know,

for me. But I think that I don't know, I don't know if the quality of the player would be for the extra third round pick is that we're talking about. So we're talking about picking it a couple of times there. Yeah, thirty eight fifty eight, then you would get seventy, so it's early third round. Well, to Aisha's point, she's like, in the middle of this draft, you know, if you're I mean, I think you get like a full Ammanuel Forbes. Maybe if you moved back there, Camp Smith from South

Carolina could be in play. You'd snag a corner, maybe one of the wide receivers. Maybe a Hyatt falls out of the first round and you want to take a giant Jalen Hyatt there wide receiver at a Tennessee you'd have some good options. Always, I like the trade bag. I always worry about who you're trading away from. That's what bothers me a little bit. Who am I trading away from? At twenty six, we see if there's any scenario here, hold up, let's see who who was gone.

He doesn't really say it, okay, but you're I mean. I think the reason that he put that scenario out there is because it's not great compensation. It's not a huge haul to move up twelve spots. Sure, the Raiders just basically knew you wanted to get out, and they threw you a third round pick, and he said, okay,

I'll take it that that's not a crazy haul. But for the Raiders where they're picking, the third round pick is an early third round pick, so it's a solid So that sound like you're getting late four on this. So yeah, I might consider that, but I'm i gotta know who I'm trading away from. But if I assume all my thirty you know, thirty seven guys are gone, that's I'm kind of left with the guys I talked about, you know, uh, maybe Campbell, guys like that, brew Sanders McDonald.

I have a thirty eight, you know. So if we're looking at our handy dandy trade charts, your pick at twenty six is worth seven hundred points. Yeah, the two picks with thirty and seventy equal out to seven hundred and sixty points, so you're actually plus sixty. You're getting overpay their value from the Raiders. So not not terrible, but something to consider. Would you do it? Thumbs up?

I do. I think. I do think that the way the guard is set up is that if there was one of the top guards that was there that maybe they might do it, then maybe they might maybe they might do the trade situation. I'm saying, like, because we were saying what type of player does it have to be? And for me, I couldn't see it happened unless it was like office of line, So get an offensive lineman. Okay,

very nice. There's some trade scenarios because who knows. I mean, when Draft Day comes around, we might see a little bit of movement for the Cowboys sitting in the back of that second or the back of that first round at twenty six. Overall, we'll be back tomorrow, Bobby. We'll be back with us as gamble and them running backs. Man there, Yeah, it could be fun. Thanks for joining us here on the Draft show.
