Is the Dallas Cowboys dot Com Draft Show, your war room for incenter news and craft analysis from deep within the confines of Cowboys Headquarters at the Star in Friscoboys Smith and now your host, Kyle Yeoman's. It is Thursday, February sixteenth, and we are alive from the Star in Frisco, seventy one days away from the NFL Draft in Kansas City. And we are back on the Draft Show presented by Miller Lite here from the SWBC studios. We've got Bobby

Belt back in the building. Guy Brian brought us, of course back in the building, and Aisha Morrison back in the building. We're all together again in one spot. How's everybody doing great? Never better, never better? How is your super Bowl? Brian? How is my super Bowl? You're good? You did it? Goes okay, it was okay, you did a good job. It was okay. I thought it is the grand post. We closed on a strong note, so yeah, oh went out on a high note. Yep, yep, tried

to Yeah, so it didn't suck so bad. Like I ain'tle a loud of y'all. Like seeing Philly Lows, I was like, you know what off seasons sky a little better for me. Oh yeah, in my opinion, makes it a little bit easier. We didn't hurt as bad. I was trying to buy souvenirs without any Kansas City or Philly logos on it, and that's a hard task to have to do it a super Bowl they didn't have, just like Generics they did. I went out, had to buy,

had to buy, had to go to the Aaron Andrews line. Okay, this was a gift for a lady there, and so it was like I had to go to the Aaron Andrews route where she puts out Super Bowl clothing without logos on it. I found there was one shirt I saw on the gift shop at the Arizona Airport that was just said super Bowl. Yeah, that just said XCEL whatever, x L V I. I are you good with all those Roman numerous Man, I wasn't ntil super Bowl forty.

And then you started going like, Okay, why isn't so it's XL it's ten minus fifty, And then I started getting all messed up, and he gets really weird because yeah, whenever he went to forty it was XL. And then you've got to you just got an L now, so it's just lv II, got it. Yeah, very interesting. We're gonna talk some draft stuff, of course being on the Draft Show, but we're gonna really hit some scenarios for

the Cowboys in this show. I love that segment number three, we're gonna go through scenarios of first and second round potentials and I ran through six different simulations and we're gonna choose which one we feel like fits the best, and you can ask questions if you wanted to switch a prospect out, you could maybe if he was available, and we can kind of talk about it when we

get there. But I want to start by something that Brian Dane and I talked about yesterday, and that was really prioritizing picks and how you can shuffle your board around whenever those picks are available based on value in the draft and where you can find that value. I want to talk about how free agency can kind of affect that, Brian, because we said yesterday you don't want to window dress your board, right, but you also don't want to ignore value where the draft is coming to you, right.

How does that change whenever you go and get some guys to plug some of these holes in free agency early on. I think the team that you know, there's some teams that are super aggressive early in free agency. The first two three days you can kind of fill a little bit of what you know, maybe it prevents you from having to go out and use draft picks. You say, Okay, we're going to spend money on this particular position because we feel like this other position is

pretty weak. You know, you could kind of or maybe it's like, listen, we just can't get a guy in the draft that's going to be as good for us here. So yeah, I think that you have to be very mindful of that. The team like the Cowboys that tends to kind of let the first week of the draft

go and then they bottom fish at that point. I don't mean bottom fish in a bad I mean that they kind of like let the market kind of run its course and then they go in and grab particular players the way they grab Curse and guys like that. And so then you know, but there's certain teams out there that absolutely love to draft. I mean, they just

love to draft. They free agency. Yeah, you pointed at this one issue finger went straight down to the and she's absolutely right at this No, no, but that's what I'm saying. I think there's some teams that are just totally comfortable. If you're a bad drafting team, you probably have to play in free agency. But if you're a team that kind of has a handle on that. And I was talking with some guys this morning about compensatory picks, the possibly of getting a next or four, a five,

and a six here. You know that, man, that's that's that's heaven for these guys. They love it. Give them two fourth round picks, give them two fifth round picks, give them two sixth round picks. They will make some hay, you know. I mean we always talk, well, they're not going to take all the picks. No, these cats here will draft and and they're done at the last two and they'll keep every single one of them too, is what they'll do. So, you know, if you're a bad

drafting team. We were poor in the early two thousands. We couldn't get the combinations between free agency and the draft right. And what happened when when that, When that happened, we just had to go all in on free agency and that and that can hurt you. That can hurt you. And so but these guys are very cap mindful of where they're at. They've got a lot of you know,

they've got some flipping of switches. I know Bobby covers this team from one oh five three the fan, He'll tell you there's gonna be switches that they have to flip. They have to do this that to create money. I think this team is more into drafting and signing their own than going out and getting other players. I think, yeah, I think generally that's that's the way they like to approach it now. Jerry talking and at Senior Bowls sounded more open to doing some things in free agency. And

I think it's probably be Odell Beckham. Well, yeah, Odell, maybe that's part of it. Yeah, that name Will. That's

the new Earl Thomas. And so you know, I think that the way Jerry talked at Senior Bowls sounded like he's taking notice of Okay, like you know, you take Philly and how they performed and the aggressive moves they made, you take the aggressive moves that a team like the Rams were last year made, and just to go through outside like the Buccaneers, like go back through history I had I've got I keep meaning to go look this up again. Because it's relevant, I think, but it was.

I believe each of the last ten years, the team that won the Super Bowl the previous offseason spent more guaranteed money on an outside free agent than the Cowboys spent that same offseason and guaranteed money on their whole free agent class. And so, like I mean, you talk about, for example, when they went out the most they've splurged was like twenty twenty, I think they gave out thirty

six million guaranteed outside free agents. Well, the Buccaneers that you're acquired Tom Brady and he was more than thirty six million guarantee that he made. Same thing. You go back through the years, you know, one offseason it was like, well, when the Patriots won, Durrell Reevs got more guaranteed money from the Patriots then Dallas's whole outside free agent class. So not including the resigns and the guys you're keeping

on your own. So I think eventually you have to look at that and go like, Okay, maybe there's a happy medium, maybe we don't have to go this way, but but you do got to feel like there's got to be some sort of an evolution. I think at some point but I you know, to me, when you start to look at what happened and I saw this and correct me if I'm wrong. Cowboys I think were second in the league in games played by their rookies. I think Kansas City was number one and Dallas was

number two. I don't know if that's the set that's I mean, that sounds right. They need but see that's what that's what they do, that's what they're that's their whole mindset right there. Like they as long as they keep drafting, well, I don't see this philosophy changing as far as free agency feels like so much pressure you put on your personality. But they but will lives for that, and it really does, and it appts resolutely. Like I mean, if that's something that they like and they enjoy that

person and they like that, that's great. But it's like help him out a little, you know, you know, like like like Jaylen Tilbert for example. I mean Jaylen Tilbert was drafted as a guy they expected in a third round scenario to come in and play immediately. I would have taken him in the second yeah, I mean yeah, but he didn't work out. And what happened. You were kind of hamstrung that wide receiver for a good part of the year and you had to go get a guy like t Y Hilton. That's a move you had

to make. Well to me, I mean, I'm looking at you. You mentioned like, can a guy come in that's a free agent that's going to be better than any rookie that you draft? And so when you do look at a guy like we talked about DT and how important has been for your linebackers and stuff, is there any

DT in this draft? I don't know that's going to come in and immediately be better than to Ron Payne or she just hit the new Hargraves Is Hargraves is also a guy that's a free agent, Like, are there any of those gentlemen that are going to be better right away? Because that's the problem. I love that the Cowboys draft and developed well. I mean, I mean we just we see also dig Zua coming along, like I just I love Chauncey gold and like I like that

these guys come along and stuff. But it takes some time to put on weight, takes some time to understand the position and how to play it at a high level. So then you get you I think you're waiting like a couple of years, maybe a year for this guy to get this position, and the other parts of your team are ready to win now. So I I think, like, like Bobby said, like you're gonna have to make the decision depending on the position, Like, is this gonna help

us win right now? Is this like? Especially like for me, I think DT is such a huge thing because it just it changed your run defense, It changed your linebackers that need to be free. It just really opened up everything. I'm sitting here like, is there any guy that you can draft right now that's gonna come in and immediately make an impact on your defense that's gonna do it like that? I don't know yet. I think the position that you could draft it would make a difference at

twenty six, is corner Okay? Tackles really? Yeah? I think so. I think the corners now. I love what you're saying about the defensive tackles because I'm one to five three the fan. Yesterday I was talking about if you gave me a scenario where I could go and get a defensive tackle and pain. If we said you're pushing the chips in and you're going to get durn Pain. I'm totally about that. I think if you know what we're

talking about, Digs, the wide receiver at Buffalo. If you know, if all of a sudden, I mean, you're starting to hear whispers about, well, maybe they might move on from him by all means twenty six, take twenty six, and you can, you know, give me Digs that kind of thing. I'm all about that. But those are but you're right about You're right about players that you know. That's that's the thing that a lot of these teams looking like

this guy's already established. This is an established player, you know, but the Cowboys feel like, hey, we can draft, we can deal. They've done that. Look what they did. They redrafted this thing. And Tyler Smith was what the eighth pick in the draft on a redraft and we're all sitting here talking about him at what twenty seven, you know, and the league's now going, wait a minute, this was the eighth best player on the board. Yeah, I think I think I would keep drafting. No, I just think

I keep drafting too well. No, And I but why not supplement though, Like why not have them draft like that? And then also add you can do both It's not like you're limited just because you're choosing to draft. Don't disagree with you, guys, But sitting up with these cats, oh, I know that's what they do. Not they don't feel like that they have to do that. Yeah, how can

you not? Though? How can you not when you see like and we talked about we just talked about on Girls Talk, Boys Talk Listen, man, like these young players, you're young stars that you want to resign. Yeah, they're talking out loud. They're talking out loud, micah CD, Trey Von. They're talking of they are they want to win, and so they're talking about bringing people in and adding talent and stuff because they see across the league that you have to be able to draft well and supplement it.

Like Bobby said, but you mentioned dB, though I listen, has Israel mquamu and darm Blend have they made dB a little I think Izzy might have made things a little weird. I think you might have to go get a safety, like not mosting the year already moving him over permanent. I mean you might have to get a safety for a number of reasons. Donovan Wilson's a free agent. Malie Cooker is a potential cap savings. Mcamo can play corner.

I don't think she's wrong. No, Rather, at corner, mcuamo was better at corner throughout training camp than from Texas A and m would do my heart pretty good. He'd have to get him in the first round, though. Are you okay spending twenty six I know, I don't know, but I'm just wondering if it's changed to the urgency to to to to go get corner early because you obviously I think obviously easy came along and I think they're going to see that. But Jordan Lewis is he's

still on contract. Run. Yeah, he's still on contract, so he's going to be a slot guy. Dron Bland is here, and then you got Israel mcquamo, who obviously show flashes at corner. Has that changed the urgency If you wanted to get a corner in the first round possibly or second round, I think you need to do it. I'm asking you, guys. No, no, I think you're right. But I'll tell you what I would think of it. As

a bigger picture thing. It might be for Diggs that that they if they picked a corner in the first round. I would think that's more indicative of we need to protect ourselves on Trayvon, I think this is more about Digs than a Yeah. If I were to look into a crystal ball and try and project out what's going to happen over the next thirteen months from now, I think we're thirteen months from now, Trayvon Diggs has the franchise tag on him. I agree, I say that, I

just don't. I just don't think it's gonna get done this office. If you told me which is going to be the easier, and I asked this again the on the question yesterday on the on the break, which is going to be the easier negotiations between Diggs and Lamb, Yep, give me Lamb everything. It's gonna be Lamb this guy because because Diggs, Diggs is literally gonna dig in. I mean, he thinks he's one of the best corners in the NFL.

And I think that I think that, you know what, and he's got he's got a good argument, he really does. But but this this crew, let this let this crew. Let Byron Jones walk yep and Byron Judge round picked. Yeah. Byron Jones was having a good It was having a good season for them. You could argue they proved correct that one. I mean he's something right, I mean he's he's been solid, but he has not been what he was.

But that's what that's the whole idea here. If this Digs thing turns contentious, then you know, and hell I want him to sign Dicks. I absolutely do. But if it turns bad, that you know, and and it's like, okay, we're just gonna move on. I think it's not so

much about the guy playing opposite Digs. I think it's about the guy that all of a sudden Bland Mukuamu and whoever plug in, whoever you want uh Banks from Maryland or whoever you want to plug in, could be the guy that all of a sudden that steps in and they said, no, we're just gonna move on. The ease of the Digs or the ease of the Lamb negotiation is going to be it's you you can. I

don't think that's gonna be easy either. No, I think it is like in terms of I think I think that one gets done this offseason, okay, and because I think the framework is there easily. Tory Dandy, who represents CD, has represented a couple of the other top receivers. He'd represented one of the most recent deals that got on debo, and so it's easy to work off that framework and say, okay,

we've got this contract here that debo signed. Uh, you know, calculating for the inflation of the cap that would mean that CD would be do this, and it gives them a much easier base to work around with DIGS. It's like, well, some people think he's j. C. Jackson, some people think he's Jayar Alexander, and it's like, where's the difference and jac Jackson, j C. Jackson and jay Ere Alexander are

five million apart on their average as salary. Yeah. Yeah, And so that's a harder in the middle ground with that. You're gonna have to find where you agree. Also, not to mention, Micah Parsons is coming up next year in that start of the conversation and moving into that too. So not only are you having to talk about these two guys going into contract years, but then Micah Parsons

is going to come up in seasons as well. You do have that fifth year you do have with CD, and with CD both and and what we've seen with the Cowboys and listen, Hey, I respect all those guys and gals upstairs at work on these contracts, but they've also waited on contracts. Yea, they have waited on some contin Stephens said that. Stephen said his biggest regret and reseingers was we should have got Dacked done earlier. So

they know I had people screaming at me. You could have had this thing done for twenty three years ago. You get this thing done for twenty eight you know, I'm like, okay, okay, I mean you know, I'm just a guy talking about it here. So going back to kind of the stem of this conversation, corner, No, it's

not your bad, that's actually really good. Sing. Yeah. Corner is something where like you said, you could go and get a guy in the first round or second round and you could plug and play and he's gonna he's gonna improve a football team. Is there any other receiver or any other hum I just gave away my thought process. Is there any other position offensive line in the draft that you could do that? Yeah? The Cowboys have proven this as well. Any offensive lineman that they draft in

the first round, isn't they think it's much. It's a lot it is. It's it's like when we always talk about this, who is the safest player in the draft. You know, we were talking with danis or about Sanders. I asked Dane about Sanders, the linebacker from Arkansas. Not a safe, clean, nothing wrong with him. Man, He's just plug and play. You know. That's that's what Cowboys do with these offensive lineman they did. They drafted as Tyler Smith that what did they do? They forced, They forced

to Taco Charlton pick. They forced a couple of these picks and what happened. It didn't work. But they just naturally say, well, Tyler Smith's up there. We kind of like him, you know, we're okay with him. Yeah, we like you know, boom, make the pick. Guy starts at left tackle, and now he's the eight you know redraft, he's the eighth best player on the board. Yeah, this team has a knack, an ability, whatever you want to call it, a just a will to draft offensive line

in the first round and have him work. That's a if they took a first round lineman in this draft, I would I would just pencil that in. Is up, guy's gonna plug and play. If it's a guard, listen, to me, I'm having problems with a guard. I don't know about yours. Yeah, I know they're all stressing me out, the little stress. I don't think it's a good class. I mean, if you're talking about that top head, well, wait, where do you have Scroonsky? Do you have him as

a guard? Tackle? Well, tackle tackle, I've must tackle him. Dane's got him as a guard. Yeah, And because the's a little bit of a shorter arm guy, it's what the will get, you know, when the combine rolls. It was it was another Northwestern typle by the way later Yeah, oh man, that's my guy. No, no, but that the I think the I mean, if you're talking about guards, the only one you're talking about in the top fifty right now realistically would be Torrens on it. Yeah, drop

off from Osiris Torrens. Then you get into the Avlas from TCU. And I mentioned him last because he's you know how they like hometown people, you know how they like people close to the house. I mean Tyler Smith was technically hometown for it also helps. It also helps, yeah, because they get a closer look at those guys than they do some guys who are not from they do that. It's money. They pick offensive lineman and the especially in the bottom of that first round, they go back, Travis Frederick,

go back. They figure it out. Yeah, they got they got a good they got a really good handle on this. But that could also just be honestly too, when you start looking at this US Coast offense, Solari just kind of how they like to run the ball, Dude, like guard is guard is a need for this team? Like let's let's keep it a book. I mean you have, well, let's go as a tackle in the background, I mean Tyler, Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You got Tyler, you have. You

don't know if Tyrn's coming back. You don't know if Jason Peters coming back. McGovern's a free agent. But there's depth there at tackle, maybe at guard. Oh what you got there? What you got there? And so with me, I'm looking at I really don't want to think of Farniac. Maybe yeah, maybe maybe maybe the backup center. Yes, and you know, I know Farniac's the backup everything. They think he can play all five. I mean I like him as a rotational yeah guy, as a Yeah, he's he's

in a league that's starved of offensive lineman. A guy who can adequately like play off five positions. I'm happy to have on. You think you think they lose McGovern free agency tots. I don't know they really like him. I think they do. They really like him, But I think they can lose him because I think they feel like, like we just talked about, they might be able to draft a guy that can come in here and maybe do it better or do it at the same level

at least to start. And my thing is is, like we've seen with Philly, how if you have a dumbant offensive line, I mean, think about it. Though the city rebuilt there. Yeah, I don't know when you're gonna get I don't know when you're gonna get tearing still back, but he's playing like one of the best tackles in the game. Another year of Tyler Smith's getting trained in working with Duke, all this stuff he's doing, He's come back probably putting that big boy weight on. You're good

at tackle. Then you have Tyler beyandis who's gonna He's continuing to develop. He played well this year. You know that's pro bowler. Let me fix myself, Zack Martin, but oh, God, you go. You Patty, You're Patty. But with this offensive line, you get a guard, a good left guard. You might be cooking with gas, like just being honest for your tackles are kind of shut it up a little bit. We kind of need to look at guard. But your

center is pretty good too. So I'm looking at guard my guy, maybe a guy that has some swing ability. There are so many spots on this roster, so many spots on this roster that you could fill and plug and play. You're gonna have to supplement some of it with free agency. We're gonna talk about some of the scenarios and some of the names we mentioned are in those scenarios. We'll have some fun with that in a

little bit. But when we come back, sign for Twitter on the twenty we're answering your Twitter questions when we come back with more of the draft show.

When I played in the NFL at a high level, I relied on my vision to see the field. As I started getting older, I noticed my vision wasn't as good and I was getting frustrated from wearing my glasses all day. I went to Laser Cure Eye Center and Doctor G talked about all the options. Thanks to technology and Laser Cure Eye Center, I can see near far in between. Don't fumble your vision any long. Visit them at dfwiyes dot com and tell them Darren sent you.

Company for or Texas. This is the Dallas Cowboys dot Com Draft Show. Back here on the Draft Show presented by Miller Light. Here from the Star in Frisco, gladhow with us? It's time now for sun Twitter on the Twitter. Chris Beem hitting the sounder there in the back alongside Bobby Belt, Brian protus Aisha Morrison. I'm Kyle Yeoman's okay. I want to talk about the slot receivers or not so slot receivers, because Mike McCarthy likes Ceedee Lamb in the slot. He likes to put him in there and

let him go to work. And of course Mike McCarthy is calling them plays this year. Which attainable receiver on the outside would fit into this offense. But I'm gonna throw a twist on this, this is uh, he said. In general, we've talked a lot about first round receivers. I want to talk about some of the day two guys, second or third round potentials. Anybody on the outside that you could take in the second or third round that would really excite you. Uh, specifically for the idea that

if they're going to play West Coast. Yes, Rashi Rice, absolutely, yeah, Now Rashie. Like, I think Rashi's traits are nice. I think that he's a physical receiver. I think he's a guy who will make like the tough, the contested catches, things like that. There's a little bit of like, I hate like saying this word because it always sounds so dirty, and I don't I just don't have a better revert DC laziness at times with rice, like in the route

running and just like kind of nonchalant. Yeah, I think you're fair all right, so but and look, you're going to fight that. I wasn't trying to fight fight it, no, fight it, No, I want you to fight. Think you. I think you were you. I know you really like the player. I love the want. I want to hear it because I I you know, with the sometimes in the receivers, I I think I've seen something the right way, and I think I'm pretty good at receivers, but I

do see some a little bit of nonchalant. That's the better word. Nonchalant, not lazy. Give me something. I just think. I just think when you block as willingly as he does, like yeah you might, he might take a couple of plays off and you I mean, I don't. I don't

know about that. Like the nonchalantlant thing that I do feel like he's he's so into blocking and doing so many things that we naturally we see players doing in the NFL all the time where they're just like, Okay, I'm into this play and maybe it's not the right thing, but I'm just like, I don't know if I see nonchalant. Okay, I don't know if I see that. I saw somebody

who struggled with really creating separation all the time. I think he's a good route runner, but I don't think there was that that window of opportunity all the time. I'm right there with you, guys. I think he's a really good player. I think if you were to get him at fifty eight, I'd be doing cartwheels. I'll go he's a phenomenal player. But I just in terms of the true separation, the speed, that next level burst, I didn't really see it as much as some of those

other guys. Kilford I should go together. I mean, he's a big slot type situation. So I do agree with you. You took that. That's what I was going to say when you brought up like who can win on the outside and whatever, But um not, You're You're fine, Bobby. The thing about it, no, No, I'll tell you what though. To me, though, this guy, he's used to catching the ball in traffic. Yeah, that, and you mentioned the lack

of separation. He is used to going to get in the football, and I think that's what makes him intriguing is because I don't think all the time in the NFL you get operation which if McCarthy wants to run slant flats here, he can run it. Yeah, he can run. And he's got his eyes and he's strong and he can he'll he'll make the tough Can you remember last year what you're clamoring for all year, Like, get me a receiver who has my ball. Mentally, he does have

my ball. Mental he is you're, you're you're. Because you're talking about toughness as a blocker. I think he's got toughness as a receiver because I think he's willing. I think he's willing to go get it. That's you know, maybe maybe it's a little bit of some lack of day school stuff, but I'm not going to question this guy's toughness. I will say, though I agree with you, Kyle. I don't think he runs away from people. That's the thing that I you know, I think that. Did anybody

do Tyler Scott from Cincinnati? I have not. I haven't seen him. I'm gonna watch it, all right, Tyler Smith. Tyler Scott from Cincinnati is a smooth route runner. He gets in and out of his brakes. No wasted motion with this guy, you could put it. He could put a defender in a bad spot right off the jump. And so I mean he catches the ball really easily, very natural, the way he goes about his job, great radius, he tracks it down the field. Uh you know, inside

concentration routes, all those things you talking about. I don't see him miss many balls at all. So keep an eye on a guy like Tyler Scott. Another guy. I want to mention, did anybody happen to see where's my guy here that I'm looking at the at Perry from wake Forest? Yeah? Wake Forest? Okay, did you see him at all? Asia? Have you done him? All? Right? All right,

Well here's another guy. He's six five, he's two oh five, okay, and he's he's got really impressive length for a receiver, and he could just the any ball is thrown high low. So you're again you're talking about these routes, we are running slants inside routes and stuff like that. I kind of feel like that he can adjust the ball over his head all levels of the field. He's not shy about anywhere where he's going. There's really another again that smoothness to his game. He can set upright, and he

also will make contested plays. So I saw a little bit of both at Perry wide receiver Wake Forest. Take a peek at him at the camp. Would he be a second round or a third round guy? Probably third round? I think he's more closer to probably a third. Dane always did this thing with us. What I thought was kind of like, because I always want to I don't ever want to stand on the fence. Sure Dane will throw you. He's a two three, you know, And I'm like, is he a two or three? Yeah? Tell which one?

Which one is he? You know? And so I think there's some other receivers that are probably a little bit better this guy. This This at Perry guy. He was able to show out because Sam Hartman, who is his quarterback, is one of the best in the country. And so you see him getting like really good passes, you know, from a quality quarterback, which I think makes a difference in the world. Does does that scare you a little bit?

The fact that he didn't have a ton of production, because he had just barely nicked a thousand yards thirteen and a half per catch. I just kind of was seeing when I when I was watching him play, because when wake Force plays, they play this really slow. They act like they're reading the ball. They're gonna they're gonna hand in hand in hand in hand and handed pull

and then throw the ball kind of an offense. And so to me, I think if he get with the right and I mentioned Hartman because I do feel like the ball when they did throw it was accurate to him. So I'm just gonna saying, maybe you know Megatron and those guys that I remember back in the day, Calvin Johnson went to school and what Georgia Tech. Yes, they were running what read option? Not read option? They were

running like Veer stuff, run play stuff. I mean, these some of these receivers don't get in the right right scheme. I kind of feel like this guy at his size at six five two o five is gonna be He looked like to me one of those like La Charger receivers. You know those they when you watch the Chargers play. They got all these big, kind of long, tall guys they're playing. Maybe they're not the fastest, but they go

and get every single ball. What about I know that he's dealt with injuries stuff, but if we're talking about Day two or Day two, Day two, Round three, yeah, second or third round, Okay. I think a couple of teams might take a chance on Michael Wilson, Like I think his route running, his size, like he can win Oh Stanford as Stanford my bad because obviously the characters there all that stuff to work ethic. I actually looked at it quite a bit. He looked a great at

the Senior Bowl. But his size, it's kind of what makes things weird because I think he could play on the outside but be a big slot as well. But his route running is so good he's gonna beat people at the line of Scrimmage's just a deal of keeping him obviously keeping him healthy. But I do see him as a guy that could go in the third round because people are gonna be willing to take the risk on him, even though he's been healthy. He's been injured, but he just seems so refined as a route runner.

He can get open in a lot of different ways, but he also has size to beat you and have size on those smaller corners. I haven't watched him yet. He was actually on my list to I had to knock out over the next couple of days. Has anybody watched Mingo? He was the last Yeah, he's the last guy because I was down to the point where I was watching Wicks from Virginia and Mingo was the last wide receiver that I had to do in this thing. But I know a lot of people. Everybody's everybody's mocking

when you do those. I get those cowboy mocks. Yeah, everybody seems to put him if they're not putting, you know, if they're not putting the Tennessee receiver in there at you know, at number two, which I see every single time Hyatt. Yeah, I mean everybody puts him as the second, the second which I have watched Hyatt. And while I haven't watched Mingo, everything I know about Mingo sounds like those are about the two most polar opposite receivers we

would be talking about here. Yeah, I mean one guy is like DeVante Smith's skinny with like three nine speed, and the other guy is, you know, running a five one and just trying to make tough contested catches. Yeah, but you guys real quick on that one. Zay Flowers from Boston College. The thing, he's five nine and one seventy is what I was working with get out for this team. Then yeah, okay, what a player? Huh Yeah,

he's what a player? Phenomenal player, what a player? And are you gonna look at that one and say the Cowboys are not even not even considers Zay Flowers because I again a mock draft from the fans. Somebody had him going to twenty six to the Cowboys, and I kind of just smiled because I'm thinking, sir, you know, this guy's a really good player, and you probably put him at the right spot. Yep, you probably put him with the wrong team. I put in my scouting report

of Flowers. I said his burst is the best in the class. I mean, do you talk about put a foot in the ground and get around the defender. Yeah, straight off the line of scrimmage, I thought Flowers. I watched him against NC State, Syracuse and Wake Forest. I had two minuses the whole time. Yeah, it was the two minuses. He's a really solid player. The biggest knock is this, Yeah, I'm working off five. Have you done him? Yeah? Yeah? What you got on him? Well, what I mean? You

mentioned his birst? I like his hands. I think he's he's just one of those guys like I'm a dude, Like I feel like he knows he's a dude, and you can see it in his play. But I feel like his releases are nice as well. But yeah, more than anything, what the size thing, dude, I just think it depends on what you what you need, what you do schematically, and so if the Cowboys drafting him, where where where is he going to play it? That's what I'm saying, he would have where is he gonna play it?

But see, that's the thing about it. Twenty five years ago, when I started working in scouting, this this player wouldn't have been a guy you would even considered. Now and now and now we've we've kind of come to the point where, you know what, as a coach, it's your job to figure it out. It's your job to figure out because you're absolutely right. You guys are right about this kid. He's going he's going a one hundred miles an hour and he stops on a dime and comes

back and comes back to the ball. He catches everything and he runs after catch. You know, I, as as a personnel guy, I can't sit there and say I'm telling you this guy could play football in this day and age, he could play football, and it's up to you guys to figure out where he could play. Yeah. I don't want to guy all of a sudden like go, oh, well, Zay Flowers. He doesn't fit our profile in our scheme. I get it. You can't have a team that looks like up and down, up and down, up and down.

You can't have that. But there's certain guys in this draft that if you said, hey, I'm gonna draft Say Flowers for it, you cannot tell me watching his tape he's not a good football player. He is. You can't tell me that. And some coaches say, no, he's a little short for what we do. And then you know what he's gonna do. The Giants, the Commanders, the Eagles like that are gonna draft him and he's and we're

gonna go, wow, that's Zay Flowers. And then you know you're gonna lose a game because Zay Flowers makes about seven catches on you. I mean, he's a good player. I think you're right, though, It's just you're you're mocking to the wrong team. It's just it's not words though, because you won't play light. Don't get the playmaker, my guy. Should we start go get the flop being my guy? Should we just lobby all the No? No, down the hall.

They sitting there handing out flowers. No they yeah, we're buttons, big flowers. I'll tell you what that receiver's cut regardless of the size. I'll tell you what they would not love is they wouldn't love the drops that are on his tape. He's got a couple. His hands are not great. I tell you what, though, to me, I kind of feel like though that when you say not great, I see him like he's the only weapon that Boston College has.

You know who he is, He's He's a more slightly built to me, the like Watchman's player, which I liked this player coming out, and he's been okay in the NFL. He's a more slightly built Anthony Miller, remember him from Memphis, Memphis. Yes, he reminds me of him. Okay it with the Chicago Bears. Yeah, he's bounced around. I think he went to like Pittsburgh in Atlanta since then or something, And I liked I liked Anthony Miller, and I think they look similar. Miller

was stouter. Miller's like twenty pounds heavier, but they're similar. Flowers had eight drops, by the way, That's what I wrote down though, Bobby, I wrote down drops. I wrote down drops our problem. But then also too, he got targeted a whole whole, whole whole bunch. Yeah. So so yeah, I gonna be up because he's getting the ball through to him a little bit more than everybody else that exists. I just I just know over the past, like forget just the size. The size is one thing, but I

just know where the past like there's been hesitancy. I know when I talk to people and try to figure out what their thought processes. When you start talking about maybe the hands aren't the best, that's usually like a big ding for them, I feel. So they're probably thinking hands and their fans, and you're so like, like great

that you're fast. But i'd like to just I'd just like to go on record though, when this guy goes off and plays well please uh, well he'll play it at me when he's playing for some other team and you and you're, hey, broadest you like that Zay Flowers guy, he's gonna be running all over with Trevor Lawrence to him.

He's gonna be great. Guy's a great finisher. You can't you can't deny the guys know and do you want to talk about like when we were talking about Rashi Rice being a little lack of days, Well he's not. Zay Flowers is not eight Flowers like that's running hot. Second question on Twitter on the twenty U We've got two questions this week. Donald asked, what about fault you should what about tight ends? What type of tight ends should the Cowboys be looking at? Because of course Dalton

Schultz coming off of the franchise tag, he's unrestricted. Who do you go get? Do you you rely on some of these young guys or do you target some of these high end tight ends that we talked about a little bit with Dane yesterday. Brian, can I convince you guys to take win at twenty six? No, you could, absolutely. Yeah, there's there's two guys that I would be okay taking in twenties. Man, A dynamic, dangerous tight end is one

of the biggest mismatches you can have in the NFL. Baso, look at the two teams in the Super Bowl, look at the four teams. At three of the four teams in the Conference championship games. What do they all have a dynamic tight end? George Kittle, Dallas Goddard and then who am I missing? Oh? Of course Travis, I see that one thing. Yeah, so yeah, that guy's pretty good. So well, you like you really turned up your nose on that twenty six. I wasn't. I just don't know

you out don't. I'm not out on it. I just don't. I am about to get my hopes of some of what this team here is this they like undrafted free agents, they like fourth round tight ends, they like fifth tight ends. So I don't I don't get in my feelings about oh oh oh, there's a if there's a position value wise that this team has crushed more than any other than tight end. I don't know what it is. You got. Jarwin is an undrafted free agent. You drafted Schultz in

the fourth. McEwan is a it took a little while, It took a little while. Uh. McEwan is an undrafted free agent, hender Shott and Ferguson. I mean, they've generally the guys they've evaluate it tight end. The last five of them they've brought in here have been really good. Yeah, the best one I've seen just Kincaid from Utah. You like him more than Muscar I've I've watched I've watched Myers pretty good though, too. See I like Myyer does

does Myer get to you? Though? I mean, I think there are a lot of people that think that Meyer is the best tight end at a Notre Dame. He's my number one tight end, and I've seen him Washington. He's bigger. I mean, he's bigger than Kincaid. I mean, I've got I was working on him at six five, two sixty five is what I was walking about. Meyer Meyer from Notre Dame six to four and a half, okay and two sixty five. Okay, So he's big. Yeah,

he's big. That's no, that's but those yeas first round people, yeah, okay, I mean I don't I don't know. I've got two first round grades on and uncomplete incomplete reports, and it's Meyer and it's Kincaid. Those are might say a tight end that I think that they might like because of what he does. And Sam Laporta, you boy, you nailed that back, dude, Yeah, yeah, you nailed it. What do you like about Laporta? I just I'll see if I can follow you up. You get all them. Nah, I

just I like, I'll learn something from you here. I'd like some of his scene work, but it's the akability. It's the broken breaking tackles, Like dude, what like as a tight end and you talked about how much how much that's like a threat or that can be a difference maker. But I just think he understands to feel pretty well how to position hisself and whatnot. I do think his hands, his catch radius can get better. M as far as like snatching balls or whatever. He just

to understand where to be on the field. I think he gets it. We know IOWA guys already typically typically a fundamentally sound He blocks pretty well also, but I'd like the yak ability from a tight end or you build the guy. What you think, Bobby, what you think? I have not watched him yet. I've watched two tight ends. I've watched Meron, I've watched Luke Musgrave, and to me, Musgrave is the modern tight end. That's the tight end

you win with in the NFL. Well, I think look like, look, people are going to be frustrated that, like, okay, does he have to play strength? Does he play as well? As enline blockers. He like the run block you want, Like maybe not, but like I mean, coach it up like you coached up the tight ends throughout the year. Because to me, like this is a guy who he could play in line, he could line up in the slot. He could run some of those slant flats for you.

He like, and he's an incredible athlete. He's big, that dude. Like the footwork on him looks like a receiver. He is really really good round these tight ends. Jalen Duncan. Maybe I'm maybe I'm actually right un down schools about real quick. Rusgrave Oregon State. Yeah, sorry, I'm gonna so. Michael Meyer Notre Dame, Dalton Kincaide, Utah, Darnell Washington, Georgia, Luke Musgrave, that's a top eight playing tight end at Georgia. Oh my gosh, excuse you talk about Darnell Washington foot seven,

two seventy. Yeah, I'm gonna put a pin in it. Yeah, he's fun to watch. He's got some fun tape. Pain Durham and then Sam Laporta out of Iowa. I thought he would be like y'all's top. I thought he would be one of y'all top guys. I haven't watched him yet because Dane mentioned him. My bad. I'm sorry. Don't kill me being I'm all far with my mic h.

But Pain Durham is somebody that I know. Dane mentioned show from Purdue, and I mean he just showed his tail at the at the at the Senior Bowl, especially just as a blocker, so I thought he would be one of y'all's guys that are really interested. I think I had a knock on him. Give me an find it. I gotta find. I'll tell you what I like what Bobby's saying about Musgrave though he did have an injury though that they're going to have to look at you.

But this guy can separate. He can he can be tough down the field to cover, but when he's flexed her in the slot, I didn't like. I say, you don't play him in line, but you're talking about the modern tight end doesn't play in line as much anymore. No, Yeah, I mean, honestly use him in the way Doug Peterson used Evan Ingram. They figured out Evan Ingram down. Take your cues there. And I mean, like I said, the team's shown inability to use all sorts of different tight ends.

They found a way to use the inlines. They've also found a way to use the more athletic ones like Jarwin. And so to me, I just think Musgrave makes a ton of sense. And that's more the you know, wal Meyer, who's the only other one that I watched. I like him. He's solid, but that's that's Jason Witten to me. And that's fine. But like if in this area, if you really want to create mismatch problems, you need Kelsey. Yeah,

and he's more Kelsey than he has Witten. Luke Musgrave is I think Musgrave st Dad based off of based off of what I've I think they think he's Jarwin. I think because he's got some juice, he's got some abill I think they like him. Yeah, I think they do too. On the other side, with your producee tight end paint Durham My my knock was the dude can't run. He's not he's not a runner. He's physical, he's big, you can block, you can do all that stuff, but he can't run. You can use those guys too, you

can well Laporta. I mean, you're right about him, but he can do crossers. I think you can. So when you talk about like what's the modern tight end, like can they do receiver type stuff? The only thing it's so weird because he can run the routes and all that stuff, but contested balls aren't his on his aren't his steel low just yet? But can he run the routes? Can he get open? Can you do it? Yeah? Sure?

What he has the athleticism in space for sure. The one thing about Laporte is you'll see I will run the ball behind him. You know. Sometimes these were these tight ends they kind of avoid, they put him on the back side, or they don't have him involved. Laporta, they'll run the ball behind him. I always got a history of putting tight ends in the league. He's their speed. To me, Yeah, in my pain and that's why my eyes were drawn in. But I was like, oh, he can do a little bit of this, but he can

block to Okay, he can do it. I was like, okay, well maybe they might look at this human. So there we go. We're on for tight ends at twenty six right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, she was the one. I've never seen anybody cheer more for tight ends at twenty six nine, she's ready to roll. She's shooting. Don't put that even on me. She just can't stop. She said, she said she would have taken hendershot. Second, Bobby, she told me first, she told me I could see this draft. I can see this draft. All of a sudden,

twenty six, she takes that pin. It just throws it, y'all. That's not That's not one of your fake pen throws. I'm gonna be shook it now. Unless she's shock. Unless the dude seriously is like he could be a real receiving threat, Like he could really be a guy that makes a difference, Because I mean that's how I felt about this season with the Cowboys. I was like, yeah, you ain't got a whole bunch of receivers, but you have tight ends that have some receiving capabilities. Get them involved.

It kind of can balance it out. In my opinion, if Musgrave is playing full time snaps in this offense next year, like as the primary tight end, Musgrave has a thousand yards convinced Bobby, Okay, well you don't Musgrave at twenty six, I'm gonna go since you you know Bobby, so he's so calm, and I just really like him. I think he's really really good. Bobby, I can't wait

for draft. We can't wait. You rip him about it at some point, no matter if it's at twenty six or if it's in day three, We're gonna pick a tight end. And everyone's look is just gonna go wolf to me because you hate tight ends. All right, let's take our second break. When we come back here on the Draft Show presented by Miller Light, We're gonna give some scenarios. All of them include a tight end, all of them, all six of them. But now we're doing

first and second round scenarios. We'll talk about it when we come back. I'm Dak Prescott, quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.

Ayesha Morrison. I'm Kyle Yeoman's you guys ready for some scenarios? Go for it. We got first and second round scenarios. I'm gonna list out six of them, so you might want to either write them down or try and memorize them if you got them. And then we're gonna pick which one you feel like fits best. The way I did this, I did different first round pick positions all the way through about guys that I think could potentially be there. First scenario o Cyrus Torrence, guard from Florida, who,

of course we talked about yesterday with Dane. The wide receiver in the second round Jalen Hyatt, Tennessee, BiH receiver. Scenario number two involves taking a wide receiver in the first and I'm gonna give you an option here. You're gonna get really lucky at twenty six. Jordan Addison from usc falls and Jackson Smith and Jigba from Ohio State falls. Jack Campbell, though, is your pick in the second round.

That's the Iowa line Iowa linebacker. Yeah, So you get lucky in the first round, you don't get so lucky in the second round. Scenario three is Aisha's favorite, and actually this is kind of funny because it's your non favorite and then your favorite Michael Meyer tight end out of Notre Dame. Yeah, had twenty six. But in the second round you get Keanu Benton, interior defensive lineman from Wisconsin who in the second round. So you get pretty

lucky in the second round's pretty good. Scenario four, you've got Deontay Banks, the cornerback from Maryland who we've talked about previously. Like him, and then in the you get him in the first round. Second round you get LSU wide receiver Kashaw Boutet. Scenario five. Be Jean Robinson just lit up. She can't laugh, No, no, she just lit ups. Is kind of lit. We're adult, That's what I'm saying. You gotta figure it out. We're gonna have a fun day.

If that's these work out. Scenario five. Scenario five, I did it for a reason. Be Jean Robinson Ward number five for Texas, the running back. Then in the second round you get Kiley Ringo, corner from Georgia. Scenario six. And the final one you get Dane Henley. How do you say is do you know his name? Washington State linebacker. I do not either. Actually liked him. I watched him last week. He's pretty good. It's real. He's want in a modern line that We'll have to talk about his

scouting report in a second. And then in the second round you get the offensive tackle to Wand Jones from Ohio State. You get you go a little offensive line versatility in the second round. So there's your scenarios. What are we debating here? Don't ask me which one is your favorite. There's zero debate. It's five Wow. Be Jean Robinson and the key Ringo question. You give me like all world trades at corner in the second and you give me a top three overall player in the first go,

So don't even think about it. Sounds very much like getting Lamb and digs that draft at the same time. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean where it's a surplus on a skilled position. Yeah, and then you also turn around and you you shure up your corner spot. Ring I mean, Ringo is digs with better athleticism, Yeah he is. Yeah, maybe not the ball skills, but he's got really good ball skills though, I think. Yeah, but Trayvon's like Trayvon's different. Yeah,

but can you read me the Addison one again? Please? Yes? Jordan Addison wide receiver from USC or Jackson Smith and Jigbua wide receiver from Ohio State in the first round. Second round. It's Jack Campbell the linebacker for Okay, you like that one? No, I just was curious. I like Jack Campbell, but I don't know, I don't know, And that was me even saying, Okay, you got you got lucky in the first round, you didn't get lucky in the second round. And I still put Jack Campbell there.

I like Jack as well, but I mean he's probably a top seventy player. He sounds like an accountant. He's a really he's a big one. No, I know, just the name. The name sounds like that shot kind of looks like like Jack Campbell's state farm when you watch him. That's kind of what you you yet like, Yeah, just really fundamentally sound, not super flashy, but is gonna do linebacker things at high wrong. The scenario three interest you

at all? Say it again? Say it Michael Meyer, the tight end from Notre Dame, and then Keanu Benton, interior defensive lineman from Wisconsin. Round second, first and second round. Yeah, I don't think they gonna take a d getting Benton in the second round. A guy like Benton could be a game changer. He can't, he can't, he can. I honestly feel like the first scenario is one of my favorites. And I only say that because those are the two

I keep saying. Michael Meyer, it's mayor mayor, Yeah, because I'm thinking, what is that Friday the thirteenth, whatever, the movie Michael Meyer, No, Michael Myers, mayor mask No, not the match, but the Osirius Torrence. He said in the first round Osirius Torrance, first round, Jalen Hyatt is your second round pick. I'm not gonna fight that. That's yours. Yeah, I'm not gonna fight I'm not gonna fight that situation. I think you get goodness on both sides. Now. I

know that you guys talked about Osiris yesterday. I was listening to you guys talk about I'm more critical of him than I think than Dane is, just because if he continues to lose weight, I think I'll be okay with this one. And I think he can get in shape here. But too if you put him. You talk about Salari and those guys, they like a lot of combo blocks, all that stuff. Man, put them next to Tyler.

You might be just moving people out the way on a very strength lip strength and strength going up against anybody clip and then Hyatt obviously like being able to stretch the field and all that stuff. I think I will be eye with that. What is your what do you see when you see Osirius Torrance because we're looking at footage of them. Now, what oh out of Wisconsin way back in the day. Who was that? No, Eric Gibson was a tackle from Wisconsin that the Lions took.

He was massive. He was three hundred and seventy something pounds ended up here in Dallas for a little bhiit. He was so big, but he just couldn't move. He just couldn't. Bobby's being a troll. That's six six, three seventy. That's o Cyrus Torren's basic head in the NFL up. Yeah, Especial especially made helmet. Yeah, I think that to me, I know he's not hearing. GiB I'm kidding. I knew you were dying. Still makes me laugh. It does make me laugh because that pick was made. I'm like, I went, oh,

not in a good way. I'm sitting in a draft room and went, oh, like that. The only thing that was the only thing that I think I had my computer just died. My bad job. But that's probably the only thing I had downe about him is like his feet. But that was something that with even with Tyler Smith did I was kind of like because coming out of his stance last when he was uh well in college, it wasn't the best all the time. His feet sometimes for a big reason why, Like his kickstep was a

big reason why he was messing stuff up. But with Osiris, I'm like, he's he's a guard, Like he's he's not gonna have to be in space as much or whatever. But I do understand why y'all say his feet kind of look heavy. It looked so strong seeing strong. That was the difference with Tyler. Though Tyler was not heavy footed. Tyler was sloppy, yeah, and Tyler needed stuff cleaned up. Oh, Cyrus's looks heavy, yeah, but like the technique is all Tyler needed. Tyler's nimble and he's quick and he's a

good athlete. Right, I don't know, like I if I'm gonna spend resources on an offensive lineman in the first round. I don't necessarily know that I wanted to be Osirius Torrens, Like like I mean, like I think that there's enough talent that they're building on this offensive line right now that I don't know that Torrens is the guy that I'd be willing to pass up, but I think is probably a better receiver and probably a better corner at that same spot. Okay, yeah, I mean, I'm just hopeful.

I'm not gonna be against towards if he's drafted here. I don't know I'm against I'm not against it. I'm just not. Please please please, you can't. The strength is there, there's no question, and I is just right. You put him and Smith next to each other, and you got Martin and what they're doing on the other side over there with Steel and you know this, this head coach wants to get back to really running the football. You helped yourself running the football. You clearly helped yourself running

the football. Well, I like, I like, Well, I don't think is a villa Via. Rather mean I feel like, if you're talking about technique, I feel like he's one of his hands are some of the best. Think. Yeah, and when you talk about, you know, maybe gett into the second I wouldn't. I mean not in the first round obviously, but if we're talking about we're not going to take an offensive offensive linement early, if this guy is available, I would. I just really seriously feel like

he would fig very well. If you pass up Torrents, you pass up that opportunity or he doesn't fall. You got a body type that's very similar. I think a Via is not a Then I'm gonna use the word sloppy. Yeah, you know, I mean I think that. I think. Yeah, but can a Via play center? Yes he can? He did. He played a lot of right and he did at the Senior Bowl, and I felt like he wants something.

He lose, he lost something, but just showing the ability to do that when we talk about like what is his offensive line need, Like obviously you talk about Matt Farniac and he can move everywhere, but like there's no short fire backup center. Yeah, Like so I just I don't think he would move the center with this team. I think a team might Tea eighteen might. But I when you mentioned the sloppiness of or whatever, Yeah, it's okay. In set Cyrus has cement shoes. Yes, yes, I don't

see that from a Via. Can I say someth about Henley real quick? That linebacker? Yes that's due, Yeah, go ahead and fired, go for the No no, no, no, no. I just like him. I like him in coverage, dude, Like I was just so impressed with him coverage wise, Like I think I think in this and that Henley, Yeah, this guy is a downhill player. Yea. He is good in the open field. He's got really he reads well, he's got really good technique. He's not going to be

out of position. He could play it pass carriage. Looking at you, You've got notes over there saying that if I'm not mistaken to see a former receiver he transferred from. He transferred from Nevada is where he went, and he went the former safety and receiver, and so you can really see that. Yeah, you can play a coverage. Yeah, the movement, the instincts, you can. He can carry guys and it clearly can do. I think that's important in this league. Now. I think that we see him times.

Recruited to Washington State as a receiver, caught eight balls for one hundred and three yards in three touchdowns as a freshman in twenty seventeen. He runs routes four guys sometimes and I just said Nevada, Sorry at it as a linebacker in this league now, like, yeah, I want a guy that can come downhill, but I also want a guy that can cover when it's necessary, because that's seems like where a lot of coordinators are taking advantage of defenses now is like, can you're a linebacker covert too?

Because we go tear him up? Do we may could determination what we would all do? Then on under his key he said five, She said scenario one. Did you

have a favorite? A little bit? Me personally, I think the best players there are the one is the Bijan Robinson one myself, Yeah, I like, I think, I think, but that a lot depends what these guys do with a tag with moving on from guys and all that stuff like early this is just if you're a draft scenario, if you if you tell me who the best players are, the ones you just named, that scenario is the best the best players in the best second round player on

that list is Keiley Ringo. The best first round players b Gen Robinson, and they're in the same stack. There's to me, there's zero chance if Bijan was there in the first and Ringo is there in second, there's zero chance there's a better player than either of them at those picks. The thing about it, too, is the likely scenario I think is number five. Last five is not the likeliest. Oh no, I'm sorry. The one with the guard with with O Cyrus Yeah, that's why I put

it first, because it's hi will be interest. I think that'll be close. I think high. It's small for them too, Okay, I just like that. I think eleven Bobby's gonna eliminate everyone of these slight. It's a bunch of slight receivers. But so many of them are small, dude, and like just like even with the cornerbacks, like so many of them are long. All the receiver, all the receivers have warts this year, I think see And I like the second scenario with Jordan Addison and Jackson Smith and jig Bu.

I would probably say Jordan Addison, he's above Jackson right now, just because of the injury concerns. When Jack Campbell in the second round, that'd be my favorite. And I think out of the bunch, but yeah, there's uh, there's our second draft show this week. We'll be backbacks gonna tear

it up. The quarterbacks. The people are gonna I think that whatever happens at quarterback, especially since so many I feel like a lot of teams are in need of a quarterback at first round, bring them on, pick them all before twenty six. Let's little make it happen. Drive that drive them players down. Please all right, that's that doesn't for us here for the Draft Show presented by Miller Lite. Will be back on Wednesday to break it down for you yet again for Bobby Belt, Brian brought

us Aisha Morrison and Beam. I'm Kyle Yoman saying so long, We'll see you next week on the Draft Show. This has been a production of Dallas Cowboys dot Com and the Dallas Cowboys Football Club.
