Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome to another edition of the NFL Draft Preview Podcast,
Ethan Greenberg, Dane Brugler. Look, we're ripping the band aid off.
We were thrown a huge curveball because we had this
episode in the can a seven round mock draft come
in your way to your ears courtesy of Dane Brugler.
We had it. It was all edited up, ready to roll.
(00:26):
And what happens espn Adam Schefter bombshell. He says, trade
work agreed upon Jets packers Aaron Rodgers got to become
a New York Jet, and that obviously had a ripple
effect of the Jets draft capital. With that being said,
let me paint the picture. Schefter reports fifteen and thirteen.
That's a pickswap. So the Jets acquire pick fifteen, they
(00:48):
give up pick thirteen, and in addition to that, in
this year's draft alone, the Jets give up a sixth
round pick. They get a fifth round pick, which means
the Jets now have five total picks.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
One in round one they also gave up pick so
they have pick thirteen. No they don't.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
They have picked fifteen. See it's doing me dirty already.
They have picked fifteen. They have pick forty three, They
have one pick in the fourth round, they have two
in the fifth rounds.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
That is it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
We're gonna break it down seven rounds. But first, dame,
what do you think about the trade? How are we
happy with this? And from a draft compensation perspective?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah, and I need to have a talk with Joe
and you know he couldn't give us a heads up
like this is uh. But you know, it's good that
this happened now instead of Draft night. We figured sometime
before Friday night this is gonna come down, and so
it you know, they finally got together, got the deal done.
It's great to see for the Jets. I mean, you're
(01:41):
going for it, you know, regardless of anyone's opinion about
the cost, the compensation. Uh, you know, they they just
now have a quarterback that won what two of the
last three MVPs, A guy that is instantly makes the
Jets a playoff contender, realistic playoff contender. And how many
(02:02):
different ways could they have done that this offseason? Not many?
So this was, you know, shooting for the moon. They
got it done. If you're a Jets fan, I mean,
you're not thinking about that next year's pick or you're
you're thinking about this year and what this means for
your team, and now with the draft. It's not like
they're completely out of it. With the draft. They still
(02:22):
have that first round pick. It's just two picks later.
You still have that second round pick. You still have
a few other picks, so that you still have a
chance to get better this weekend and add to a
team that you feel like is ready to go. The
defense is ready to go. You drop in the quarterback
with Breeze Hall coming back with the receiving corps the
way you know Garrett Wilson, all the promise he showed
(02:43):
last year as a rookie. You added now Bizard. The
offensive line, you know, is an area that's right now
looks great. Hopefully it stays that way the rest of
the year. If I'm a JUSTS fan, I'm pretty excited
about what this means.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And to your point, I didn't bring it up. Part
of the RAID compensation is in the twenty twenty four draft,
it's a conditional second round pick that if Aaron Rodgers
plays at least sixty five percent of the snaps in
twenty twenty four, that then becomes a first round pick,
which for the Jets would probably be a good thing
to have. Like if you if you surrender your first
(03:17):
round pick, that means Aaron Rodgers is a New York
Jet in twenty twenty four, he plays at least sixty
five percent of the snaps, you would imagine the Jets
would be in a good spot to at least be
contending for a playoff spot at the very least in
that case scenario. And if he doesn't play in twenty
twenty four, it doesn't play at least sixty five percent
of the snaps in twenty twenty four, The Jets then
keep their first round pick and surrender a second round pick.
(03:38):
So all in all, Dane, you are a fan of
the trade obviously for the player, but from a draft
compensation perspective, you think the Jets are protected.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Well, yeah, I mean, obviously it's a lot to give up.
This might be a first round pick next year, and
if he doesn't play sixty five percent of the snaps
this year, then you know that second round pick next
year probably be a pick. So you know it's something
that it does. It cost a lot. Yeah, But when
you're look at Joe Douglas's general manager, Robert Solid head coach.
(04:09):
The quarterback position has been eluding you. And you know,
we'll see what happens with Zach Wilson in the future,
but up to this point that hasn't worked out. And
so this was a swing to get them back in
the playoff hunt. And again, I'll go back to it,
what other move could they have made a quarterback this
offseason that was gonna put them in a better spot
than to go get Aaron Rodgers. Yes, he's thirty nine
(04:30):
years old. Yes, you know, coming off last year where
he was a little banged up, you know, injuries were
a factor, and maybe the production not being up to
par with what we've known Aaron Rodgers to be. But still,
this is a guy that makes you in the puts
you in the playoff hunt, even in the AFC, where
it's you know, you look at the NFC East alone
(04:52):
with Buffalo, Miami's gonna put up a lot of points
on the board. New England's still still there and then
everything else in the AFC. It's a tough, a tough conference,
but the Jets are squarely in the mix now and
I don't think there's any other quarterback move they could
have made this offseason. That would have put them in
a better spot than they are now. So you know,
(05:12):
you gave up what you gave up. You had to
do it to go for it this year and possibly
next year.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
The other thing I think is important to bring up
from a draft perspective, in terms of who the Jets
could draft. I don't really think this changes much at
all because we were all operating under the assumption that
the Jets quarterback question would be solved with Aaron Rodgers
based on what he said on the Pat McAfee show.
So only being two spots back from thirteen, it doesn't
really change much. The only thing I would ask you
(05:39):
before we get into the seven round mock draft for
Joe Douglas. Now, when you're looking at how many picks
the Jets have, they have five, they don't have a
third round pick, they have a one, A two of four,
and two fives. Do you think that this perhaps increases
the likelihood of looking to trade back from fifteen to
try to recoup some value, or even back from forty
three to try to get some more players in as
(06:01):
New York Jets potentially, I.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Think that's something that they'll look long and hard at.
If you can get another Day two pick out of
the mix and still stay in the first round. You know,
it's this is a draft where you only have so
many first round grades, and so conceivably, I'm sure the
Jets have probably a round fifteen first round grades, and
so we'll see who's there at that number fifteen pick.
(06:26):
It might be a situation where they don't want to
trade away from that player and say let's stick and pick,
but they might get a really attractive deal. Maybe one
of the quarterbacks is still there. Maybe you know who
knows how the first fourteen picks will play out. Maybe
they have a chance to move back and pick up
a couple of Day two picks. You know who knows,
So you're keeping the phone lines open. But I would really,
(06:47):
I could realistically see them staying and picking at fifteen
because there might be wiped out a first round grades
they move back any further.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
All right, So now let's get into the seven round
mock draft. Throughout this whole problem, yourself included, almost everybody
had the Jets selecting a tackle at thirteen. Now that
the Jets have fifteen, are you sticking with tackle or
are we going with the little sneak attack.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Call me on original, but I'm going Broderick Jones from Georgia,
the left tackle, six five and a half, three hundred
and ten pounds, sweet feet, he's got length, He's still
learning and getting better. But what he has right now,
the traits that he offers easy to get excited about that.
You know, he only played left tackle at Georgia, but
(07:33):
you think that he does have positional flex. You know,
there's a lot to like about moving forward, the player
he's going to grow into. If you A lot of
teams will say he has the biggest upside of any
of these tackles this year, more than Paris Johnson, more
than Peter Skoronsky, more than Darnell Right. So with Briderick Jones,
maybe there is a little more risk reward because he,
(07:55):
again he is such a young player. He has the
fewest number of snaps among all FB has tackles in
this draft, and obviously that's not ideal. But he was
you know, did it for the back to back national champion.
So he was playing for a really good team at
a high level and was a key cog in that
machine why they won two national titles there in Athens.
(08:17):
So with Broderick Jones. You have a guy that is
going to give you immediate depth at your third tackle,
and then assuming something happens with one of the tackles,
he's able to step in and help you as a rookie.
So that tackle depth, I think it it lines up
with what Joe Douglas likes, what he wants. And then
also it doesn't matter who's that quarterback. You need to
keep that guy upright and healthy, and Broderick Jones helps
(08:40):
you do that, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
So you're sticking put Broderick Jones or a tackle to
the Jets at fifteen. Now do you think that the
Packers at thirteen used to be the Jets pick or
the Patriots at fourteen could select a tackle there? And
maybe the Jets have a little bit of a slimmer
pickings and they would have at thirteen.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Certainly possible. The Patriots sitting at fourteen where the team
that would give me a little bit of pause about
maybe Broderick Jones not being there at fifteen, they have
a big needed offensive tackle. We know Bill Belichick is
you know, loves to draft lineman in the first round,
so very well we could see an offensive lineman off
the board there at fourteen, and you know, when does
(09:22):
that offensive tackle run start? You know, could be in
the top ten. You look at the Bears at nine,
you look at the Eagles at ten, the Titans at eleven,
the Texans at twelve, and then fourteen with the Patriots.
So it is possible, at least it's a realistic scenario
that the Jets could you know, trading back you in
(09:42):
just two spots, could make put themselves out of reach
one of these top tackles on their board. But you know,
this is a rich draft when it comes to pass rushers,
when it comes to corners, we're gonna see quarterbacks off
the board pretty quickly. So I'm gonna bet that one
of those tackles is going to squeak through and be
there for the Jets. Number fifteen.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Okay, curve ball time, pick fifteen. You know, at thirteen,
I think everyone saying, okay, you know, tackles. Let's say
the run starts early. Let's say the Jets don't go
tackle at pick fifteen. Who is somebody or who are
a couple people that you think could be in the
mix at fifteen That might have been just a little
too early at thirteen.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I don't know that there's you know, cause we're talking
about two picks, so I don't think there's anyone that's like, Okay,
well now we feel comfortable drafting this player. But you know,
I think that would be interesting to see which positions
get wiped out. You know, pass rusher, offensive linemen, corners.
You know which position's going to really look a lot
different at fifteen compared to thirteen, And it might be
(10:47):
And if it is offensive linemen, then you know, let's
look at on the defensive side of the ball, look
at pass rusher. I think that's that's an area they
might go because again, when you pick the top fifteen,
it's less about looking for that hot need and more
about just trying to find impact players. And so if
they did get wiped out with their offensive line options
at number fifteen, I think you look at edge rusher
(11:10):
and you look at a Nolan Smith out of Georgia,
you look at a Lucas van Ness out of Iowa,
and I think, there that might be one of your
best bets to upgrade on the on the defense, an
area that's already an above average unit. You know, you
look at where they ranked last year in total defensive
efficiency and they were top six in the league. You know,
this is a side of the ball you feel good about.
(11:33):
But you can never have too many edge rushers, especially
when you're this is a guy for the next four
to five years, not just about this year. So it
will be interesting to see how Joe Douglas kind of
does his balancing act, because we know, with Aaron Rodgers
down the fold, this is a win now team. This
is you're going for in twenty twenty three and hopefully
twenty twenty four. But at the same time, you don't
(11:55):
want that to hold your pick hostage, where you know
you have to make a draft pick that it fits
a need right away or a player that you want
to come in right away and make an impact. You
still want to take the best player for the short
term and long term, and so it'll be really interesting
to see how Joe Douglas plays it.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
All Right, one more question before we move on to
round two. What is like the full send move here
the Jets acquire Aaron Rodgers, they're at pick fifteen, You're like,
you know what we're going for it? Maybe not like
The only comparison I can think of is the Rams right,
and they traded the farm essentially for their Super Bowl ring.
(12:33):
And I think if you ask people in the Rams organization,
they probably be pretty happy with that because they paid off. Now,
which draft selection at pick fifteen, knowing what you know
about the Jets roster is the full send move. We're
pushing all the chips to the middle of the table.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
You know. I think that you're looking at someone's going
to help you on offense, obviously, because you know, we
just got some saying how efficient that defense has been.
So what about Adulton can care? You know, I know
you have some good bodies at the tight end position.
Dalton kin Kaid's a little different though. He's almost like
a slot receiver, you know, and so you add him
to the mix as more of a wide receiver. You
(13:11):
think about all those years the Packers maybe going defense
or you know, not addressing a wide receiver in the
first round, all those years for Aaron Rodgers. What if
the Jets says, kind of, okay, you're our quarterback. Now
we're gonna surround you with more firepower, more ways, more
guys that you could get the ball in their hands
and they can go create make plays. Dalton Kinkaid. He
(13:32):
is You can make the argument he's the best pass
catcher in this draft. His ability to go up, isolate
the football and then become a dynamic threat after the
catch is something that is pretty attractive in this draft,
and so Dalton Kincaid would be really interesting. I know,
tight ends not the biggest need on the roster. Wide
receiver not the biggest need on the roster, but you know,
(13:54):
I think if you're talking about going all in and
doing what you know, trying maybe to surround your quarterback
with as much firepower as possible, that would be that
type of move.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
All right, Moving on to round two, the Jets had
picks forty two and forty three. Remember pick forty two
was acquired in the Elijah More trade that is now
in possession of the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
The Jets only have pick forty three.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
So with the forty third pick in the NFL Draft,
who do you have the Jets selecting.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Jano Benton from Wisconsin. I really love the fit that
he provides for this team. Six three and a half,
three hundred and ten pounds basically almost you know, a
lot of similarities in size to Roderick Jones, but He's
a guy that is interchangeable. You know, you want to
play him over the bag gap, he can do that.
You want him to play more of a nose where you
know he's head up over the center or shaden the
(14:42):
a gap or the outside shoulder of the center. He
can do that as well. So has that power, has
the ability to work in the middle, but also as
quickness where he can win one on ones, he can
shoot gaps. There's a lot to like about Benton and
just twenty one years old for a senior, so he's
a younger player, still fit, figuring things out of just
you know how good he can be. But there's a
(15:03):
lot to like about him moving forward and once he
gets pro coaching and what's that just getting all that
talent out of him. So I like Benton. If they're
looking for defensive line depth, I think Benton gives you that.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And I think this makes a lot of sense from
a Jets perspective. As it stands, the Jets have Quinn Williams,
they have Quinton Jefferson, who's played both tackle and defensive
end pretty much of close to a fifty to fifty
splint in terms of his snaps last season, with the Seahawks.
So the Jets lose Sheldon Rankins and Nathan Sheppard in
free agency. They've re signed Solomon Thomas, but there's not
(15:38):
a ton of youth at that position outside of Quinn Williams,
who's basically on the precipice of his second contract in
the NFL and John Franklin Myers has inside outside versatility.
So in the influx of youth here with Benton makes
a ton of sense for the Jets. Do you think,
like how pro ready do you think he is? Also
(16:00):
knowing that he's going to play in a rotation where
he doesn't get a whole bunch of snaps, could that
be a benefit I think for almost any defensive lineman,
no doubt.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Keeping him fresh. I mean he he played a lot
of snaps at Wisconsin because he was you know that
that knows he was the guy in the middle of
that defensive line. But yeah, you make him part of
a rotation and you know, like I said, he has
the power where he can reset the line of scrimmage.
He gives you that, but he also can move outside
and you know he has and we showed it during
the Senior Bowl when he was in one on ones.
(16:30):
He has that quickness. He has pass rush potential where
he wasn't asked to do that. He was asked to
occupy blocks, take on doubles in college, but when he
had a chance to have those one on one opportunities
in mobile, you saw the pass rush potential. So I
think that you have some versatility with him. And you know,
it's not one of those guys where, Okay, the offense
sees this player coming onto the field, you know, you
(16:54):
know what they're trying to do. This is Benton's a
guy that can line up multiple spots on the defensive line.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
On a round five.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Again, the Jets had a fourth, a fifth, and a
sixth before the deal. Now their draft ends after the
fifth round. As it stands, they have a pair of them.
Who are you going with each pick? Let's start with
the first one.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I have him going staying on defense and going to
the secondary where they're taking safety Jason Taylor, the second
out of Oklahoma State, five to eleven and a half,
two hundred and five pounds. You want a guy that
get his hands on the football. Thirteen passes defended, six
interceptions last season alone. Let the big twelve interceptions and
he tested really well at the combine, so maybe the
(17:35):
size is just more average than above average. Okay, well,
this is a guy that ran four to five zero
jumped forty three inches the one four to nine ten
yard split shows that reaction quickness that he has. He
is a guy that you know, I think fits what
they want to do in the back half. You know,
the way he can run the alley, the fast angles
(17:56):
that he takes both against the run and against the pass.
Very aggressive player. Now sometimes that aggressiveness works against some
at times that that is a that will happen. But
he's a guy that is smart, athletic, and tough and
in the fourth round looking for a safety, I think
he checks those boxes that this team could be looking for.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Also, just funny because the Jets were tormented by a
guy named Jason Taylor.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yes for a long time, not really.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
And also by the way, Jason Taylor was a New
York Jet for one point in his career. So on
a side note, real quick, the Jets have the like
one of the greatest all time teams. If you were
just going by like by names and you're in position
by position, and let's say you were let's say they
were in their prime or regardless, the Jets would have
(18:43):
a great team because you're looking at the Danian, Tomlinson,
Brett Farv, Michael Vick, Jason Taylor, Ed Reid, Oh.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah, I forget about Ed Reid Man. Oh yeah, that's true. Jeez,
that's the LC was the one that came to mind first,
was you know, yeah, you forget how he finished his
career up there? Yeah, no, that's interesting. That's that's it's
always interesting when you go back and you realize, oh yeah,
Mitts Smith played on the Cardinals. You know, like I
forgot about that, or you know, like it's it's funny
(19:13):
how some of these teams or players all time greats
finished their career. Say, you know, Joe Namath played for
the Rams. Oh oh forgot about that, or you know,
I never realized it. So yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Okay, let's close this baby out.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
It's a seven round mock draft, but for the Jets,
it's really a five round mock draft. With the second
fifth round pick. Who are the Jets closing out there?
Twenty twenty three NFL Draft with let's.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Go back to the offensive line. We started with Broderick Jones.
We're gonna end with another offensive lineman, kind of an
offensive lemon sandwich here. Joey Fisher Shepherd Division two, six four,
three hundred pounds. He was a right tackle at the
Division two ranks, projects better inside a guard. He's a
little bit of an older player, he's already twenty five
(19:58):
years old. Really faascinating background. Coming out as a senior
in high school, he thought he was gonna be at
Maryland as a defensive end. Coaching change that changed his
thinking a little bit. Ends up at Towson, didn't work
out there, He kind of goes home. He's actually working
with in the family business as a locksmith, finds his
way to nearby Division two Shepherd and what he's done
(20:21):
the last four years, really three seasons. They didn't play
the COVID year, So the last three seasons as a
starter at right tackle, big part of that offense helped
protect Tyson Bagent, who is the all time leader in
passing touchdowns in college football history. He has a good
chance to be drafted somewhere in the later rounds, And
it might be a little bit of a contest who
(20:41):
was the first Shepherd prospect drafted this year? And I
think there's a good chance it could be Joey Fisher,
who was just a plug and play offensive lineman. There's
a lot to like about the play personality, the competitive toughness,
he moves well, he's strong, his understanding of leverage and
drive blocking is outstanding. And this is a guy that
(21:01):
can step in from day one and really provide depth
up front. So I like, like I said, play tackle
right tackle in college. I like him better inside of guard.
Gives you that versatility that you're banking on, that interior depth.
So there's a lot there that I think for jects
as an NFL starter pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
With Joey Fisher. One incredible story, the Locksmith thing is awesome.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Two.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
You mentioned the age, and I think it's important to
bring this up because Joe Douglas said, I believe he's
at the NFL Annual League Meeting. That part of the
reason why he felt like the Jets in the day
three so last year they drafted Michael Clemens. Part of
the reason he said he thought Michael Clemens was able
to step in from an early part of his career
and contribute was his age. Michael Clemens right now is
(21:49):
twenty five years old. They drafted him as a twenty
four year old. He turned twenty five in August. He'll
turn twenty six this August. What you just said, Joey
Fisher twenty five years old. I think a lot of
people view that as like, oh, well, he's like an
old rookie, not very appealing. But for the Jets, who
you said are in win now mode with Aaron Rodgers
under center to have depth that important positions like offensive line,
(22:13):
do you think that that's almost a leg up for
Joey Fisher seeing all that ball and I know that
he was out for three years, but being more mentally
and physically mature than let's say a twenty one year old.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
No, No, I mean that's the glass half full approach
to this. If he were, say twenty one years old,
he's probably not available in the fifth round. So you know,
the Jets aren't drafting him anyways. But the fact that
he is a little bit older that takes him off
the board for some teams because they they put a
lot of stock in age. But for a team like
the Jets that are in win now mode and a
guy like this who is physically mature, ready to step
(22:46):
in from day one and give you something that And
again we're talking about a fifth round pick here. We're
not talking about, you know, a top one hundred pick,
even a fourth round pick. This is a later fifth
round pick. So you know, I think you have to
compromise on something, and I'll compromise on age, knowing I'm
getting a guy with a pro skill set and someone
that's gonna help me in twenty twenty three, not someone
(23:07):
that I feel like I have to do all this
work and sit develop. Maybe he turns out. You know,
this is a guy I think is ready to step
in from day one and at least give me that depth,
and if he finds the field, I think he'll be okay.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
And that is the twenty twenty three New York Mock
Jets Draft Class, presented by Dame Brugler.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah that's how do we feel about this?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I meant it, let's just skip, yeah, skip the week?
What we all can? You know, we don't need the
actual draft now because we know what's gonna happen. So, uh,
you know, it's I mean, it seems unlikely right that
they're gonna make uh you know, those exact uh in
those spots. May maybe they move around a little bit.
It might be some trays involved, so that obviously will uh,
you know, mess up my predictions here. But I think that,
(23:55):
you know, like when you're doing a mock draft, it's
all about can I defend this pick? And so like
I and I did my seven round mock draft, can
I defend each one of these picks? And I made
sure that every pick I made I could defend some way,
some shape or form, whether it's you know, the need
is there, this is the type of player that these
teams go after. And with the Jets, I think that,
you know, the selections we made are all based off
(24:18):
of what this team looks for, what they value the
current state or the roster, and the ways that we
know they want to build for the future. So I
think if they came out with this hall, they would
feel pretty good about you know, it's not last year.
You know, last year, three first round picks to top
ten guys, it's not last year. And so you know,
(24:38):
obviously I have to have expectations, but based off of
what the AMMO they have going into draft weekend, I
think the draft our Jets fans would feel pretty good
if this is the Draft Hall that New York came
out of it.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
With especially positionally, what the positions that you hit on
in this mock draft to me check a lot of
boxes not only for what the Jets could potentially want
this year, but also set themselves up for twenty twenty
four and beyond, which is scary to think about because
we're still not even halfway through twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
The draft is a couple of days away.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Let's enjoy it while we can, and next time we
talke Dane, the Jets will have a new draft class
and we can analyze as far as we want, and
that is exciting.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I hope you have You're going to Kansas City, right.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I'll be in Kansas City. I've already started scout in
the barbecue. You know. That's a big part of this.
We got to make sure we're you know, being efficient
with our time and hitting up the right spots. So
that's that's, you know, that's an important part of the plan.
But yeah, we'll be doing a live show down there
on the Athletic with you know me, Robert Mays, Nate
Tice and on the Athletics. That will be a lot
of fun and I can't wait. It's gonna be an
(25:45):
unpredictable first round, and obviously that'll shape what happens on
Day two, day three. So it's gonna be a lot.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Of fun, I feel like from a draft analyst perspective,
and unpredictable draft means it'll be a more fun draft. Oh,
we means you're gonna get some authentic reactions. It's gonna
be fantastic, and you're gonna get some authentic barbecue. So
I need a review not only on the Jets draft
next week, but also the Kansas City barbecue.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
What what we liked, what we didn't like and what?
Uh you know what this is? What? This is what
I need.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I need like a a draft grade, not in terms
of a letter, you know, like a five seven six seven,
seven seven. I need a draft grade on Kansas City
Barbecue as a whole.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I think I think we can make it happen.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, I'll try, you know, the scout in me will
want to write reports and all that, but I'll try
not to. But yeah, we gotta grade it. We gotta
where the where did you get better? Where? You know,
maybe we will find a true blue chipper in there. Yeah,
I'm excited to look that. That's part of the fun
is actually you know, looking in that part of it.
(26:45):
So yeah, it's Kansas City. I doubt they'll disappoint, so
it should be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Awesome. Well, Dane, enjoy your time in Kansas City and
we'll talk to you next week and we analyze the
Jets draft box.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Yea wait, thanks,
Welcome to another edition of the NFL Draft Preview Podcast,
Ethan Greenberg, Dane Brugler. Look, we're ripping the band aid off.
We were thrown a huge curveball because we had this
episode in the can a seven round mock draft come
in your way to your ears courtesy of Dane Brugler.
We had it. It was all edited up, ready to roll.
(00:26):
And what happens espn Adam Schefter bombshell. He says, trade
work agreed upon Jets packers Aaron Rodgers got to become
a New York Jet, and that obviously had a ripple
effect of the Jets draft capital. With that being said,
let me paint the picture. Schefter reports fifteen and thirteen.
That's a pickswap. So the Jets acquire pick fifteen, they
(00:48):
give up pick thirteen, and in addition to that, in
this year's draft alone, the Jets give up a sixth
round pick. They get a fifth round pick, which means
the Jets now have five total picks.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
One in round one they also gave up pick so
they have pick thirteen. No they don't.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
They have picked fifteen. See it's doing me dirty already.
They have picked fifteen. They have pick forty three, They
have one pick in the fourth round, they have two
in the fifth rounds.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
That is it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
We're gonna break it down seven rounds. But first, dame,
what do you think about the trade? How are we
happy with this? And from a draft compensation perspective?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Yeah, and I need to have a talk with Joe
and you know he couldn't give us a heads up
like this is uh. But you know, it's good that
this happened now instead of Draft night. We figured sometime
before Friday night this is gonna come down, and so
it you know, they finally got together, got the deal done.
It's great to see for the Jets. I mean, you're
(01:41):
going for it, you know, regardless of anyone's opinion about
the cost, the compensation. Uh, you know, they they just
now have a quarterback that won what two of the
last three MVPs, A guy that is instantly makes the
Jets a playoff contender, realistic playoff contender. And how many
(02:02):
different ways could they have done that this offseason? Not many?
So this was, you know, shooting for the moon. They
got it done. If you're a Jets fan, I mean,
you're not thinking about that next year's pick or you're
you're thinking about this year and what this means for
your team, and now with the draft. It's not like
they're completely out of it. With the draft. They still
(02:22):
have that first round pick. It's just two picks later.
You still have that second round pick. You still have
a few other picks, so that you still have a
chance to get better this weekend and add to a
team that you feel like is ready to go. The
defense is ready to go. You drop in the quarterback
with Breeze Hall coming back with the receiving corps the
way you know Garrett Wilson, all the promise he showed
(02:43):
last year as a rookie. You added now Bizard. The
offensive line, you know, is an area that's right now
looks great. Hopefully it stays that way the rest of
the year. If I'm a JUSTS fan, I'm pretty excited
about what this means.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And to your point, I didn't bring it up. Part
of the RAID compensation is in the twenty twenty four draft,
it's a conditional second round pick that if Aaron Rodgers
plays at least sixty five percent of the snaps in
twenty twenty four, that then becomes a first round pick,
which for the Jets would probably be a good thing
to have. Like if you if you surrender your first
(03:17):
round pick, that means Aaron Rodgers is a New York
Jet in twenty twenty four, he plays at least sixty
five percent of the snaps, you would imagine the Jets
would be in a good spot to at least be
contending for a playoff spot at the very least in
that case scenario. And if he doesn't play in twenty
twenty four, it doesn't play at least sixty five percent
of the snaps in twenty twenty four, The Jets then
keep their first round pick and surrender a second round pick.
(03:38):
So all in all, Dane, you are a fan of
the trade obviously for the player, but from a draft
compensation perspective, you think the Jets are protected.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Well, yeah, I mean, obviously it's a lot to give up.
This might be a first round pick next year, and
if he doesn't play sixty five percent of the snaps
this year, then you know that second round pick next
year probably be a pick. So you know it's something
that it does. It cost a lot. Yeah, But when
you're look at Joe Douglas's general manager, Robert Solid head coach.
(04:09):
The quarterback position has been eluding you. And you know,
we'll see what happens with Zach Wilson in the future,
but up to this point that hasn't worked out. And
so this was a swing to get them back in
the playoff hunt. And again, I'll go back to it,
what other move could they have made a quarterback this
offseason that was gonna put them in a better spot
than to go get Aaron Rodgers. Yes, he's thirty nine
(04:30):
years old. Yes, you know, coming off last year where
he was a little banged up, you know, injuries were
a factor, and maybe the production not being up to
par with what we've known Aaron Rodgers to be. But still,
this is a guy that makes you in the puts
you in the playoff hunt, even in the AFC, where
it's you know, you look at the NFC East alone
(04:52):
with Buffalo, Miami's gonna put up a lot of points
on the board. New England's still still there and then
everything else in the AFC. It's a tough, a tough conference,
but the Jets are squarely in the mix now and
I don't think there's any other quarterback move they could
have made this offseason. That would have put them in
a better spot than they are now. So you know,
(05:12):
you gave up what you gave up. You had to
do it to go for it this year and possibly
next year.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
The other thing I think is important to bring up
from a draft perspective, in terms of who the Jets
could draft. I don't really think this changes much at
all because we were all operating under the assumption that
the Jets quarterback question would be solved with Aaron Rodgers
based on what he said on the Pat McAfee show.
So only being two spots back from thirteen, it doesn't
really change much. The only thing I would ask you
(05:39):
before we get into the seven round mock draft for
Joe Douglas. Now, when you're looking at how many picks
the Jets have, they have five, they don't have a
third round pick, they have a one, A two of four,
and two fives. Do you think that this perhaps increases
the likelihood of looking to trade back from fifteen to
try to recoup some value, or even back from forty
three to try to get some more players in as
(06:01):
New York Jets potentially, I.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Think that's something that they'll look long and hard at.
If you can get another Day two pick out of
the mix and still stay in the first round. You know,
it's this is a draft where you only have so
many first round grades, and so conceivably, I'm sure the
Jets have probably a round fifteen first round grades, and
so we'll see who's there at that number fifteen pick.
(06:26):
It might be a situation where they don't want to
trade away from that player and say let's stick and pick,
but they might get a really attractive deal. Maybe one
of the quarterbacks is still there. Maybe you know who
knows how the first fourteen picks will play out. Maybe
they have a chance to move back and pick up
a couple of Day two picks. You know who knows,
So you're keeping the phone lines open. But I would really,
(06:47):
I could realistically see them staying and picking at fifteen
because there might be wiped out a first round grades
they move back any further.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
All right, So now let's get into the seven round
mock draft. Throughout this whole problem, yourself included, almost everybody
had the Jets selecting a tackle at thirteen. Now that
the Jets have fifteen, are you sticking with tackle or
are we going with the little sneak attack.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Call me on original, but I'm going Broderick Jones from Georgia,
the left tackle, six five and a half, three hundred
and ten pounds, sweet feet, he's got length, He's still
learning and getting better. But what he has right now,
the traits that he offers easy to get excited about that.
You know, he only played left tackle at Georgia, but
(07:33):
you think that he does have positional flex. You know,
there's a lot to like about moving forward, the player
he's going to grow into. If you A lot of
teams will say he has the biggest upside of any
of these tackles this year, more than Paris Johnson, more
than Peter Skoronsky, more than Darnell Right. So with Briderick Jones,
maybe there is a little more risk reward because he,
(07:55):
again he is such a young player. He has the
fewest number of snaps among all FB has tackles in
this draft, and obviously that's not ideal. But he was
you know, did it for the back to back national champion.
So he was playing for a really good team at
a high level and was a key cog in that
machine why they won two national titles there in Athens.
(08:17):
So with Broderick Jones. You have a guy that is
going to give you immediate depth at your third tackle,
and then assuming something happens with one of the tackles,
he's able to step in and help you as a rookie.
So that tackle depth, I think it it lines up
with what Joe Douglas likes, what he wants. And then
also it doesn't matter who's that quarterback. You need to
keep that guy upright and healthy, and Broderick Jones helps
(08:40):
you do that, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
So you're sticking put Broderick Jones or a tackle to
the Jets at fifteen. Now do you think that the
Packers at thirteen used to be the Jets pick or
the Patriots at fourteen could select a tackle there? And
maybe the Jets have a little bit of a slimmer
pickings and they would have at thirteen.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Certainly possible. The Patriots sitting at fourteen where the team
that would give me a little bit of pause about
maybe Broderick Jones not being there at fifteen, they have
a big needed offensive tackle. We know Bill Belichick is
you know, loves to draft lineman in the first round,
so very well we could see an offensive lineman off
the board there at fourteen, and you know, when does
(09:22):
that offensive tackle run start? You know, could be in
the top ten. You look at the Bears at nine,
you look at the Eagles at ten, the Titans at eleven,
the Texans at twelve, and then fourteen with the Patriots.
So it is possible, at least it's a realistic scenario
that the Jets could you know, trading back you in
(09:42):
just two spots, could make put themselves out of reach
one of these top tackles on their board. But you know,
this is a rich draft when it comes to pass rushers,
when it comes to corners, we're gonna see quarterbacks off
the board pretty quickly. So I'm gonna bet that one
of those tackles is going to squeak through and be
there for the Jets. Number fifteen.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Okay, curve ball time, pick fifteen. You know, at thirteen,
I think everyone saying, okay, you know, tackles. Let's say
the run starts early. Let's say the Jets don't go
tackle at pick fifteen. Who is somebody or who are
a couple people that you think could be in the
mix at fifteen That might have been just a little
too early at thirteen.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I don't know that there's you know, cause we're talking
about two picks, so I don't think there's anyone that's like, Okay,
well now we feel comfortable drafting this player. But you know,
I think that would be interesting to see which positions
get wiped out. You know, pass rusher, offensive linemen, corners.
You know which position's going to really look a lot
different at fifteen compared to thirteen, And it might be
(10:47):
And if it is offensive linemen, then you know, let's
look at on the defensive side of the ball, look
at pass rusher. I think that's that's an area they
might go because again, when you pick the top fifteen,
it's less about looking for that hot need and more
about just trying to find impact players. And so if
they did get wiped out with their offensive line options
at number fifteen, I think you look at edge rusher
(11:10):
and you look at a Nolan Smith out of Georgia,
you look at a Lucas van Ness out of Iowa,
and I think, there that might be one of your
best bets to upgrade on the on the defense, an
area that's already an above average unit. You know, you
look at where they ranked last year in total defensive
efficiency and they were top six in the league. You know,
this is a side of the ball you feel good about.
(11:33):
But you can never have too many edge rushers, especially
when you're this is a guy for the next four
to five years, not just about this year. So it
will be interesting to see how Joe Douglas kind of
does his balancing act, because we know, with Aaron Rodgers
down the fold, this is a win now team. This
is you're going for in twenty twenty three and hopefully
twenty twenty four. But at the same time, you don't
(11:55):
want that to hold your pick hostage, where you know
you have to make a draft pick that it fits
a need right away or a player that you want
to come in right away and make an impact. You
still want to take the best player for the short
term and long term, and so it'll be really interesting
to see how Joe Douglas plays it.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
All Right, one more question before we move on to
round two. What is like the full send move here
the Jets acquire Aaron Rodgers, they're at pick fifteen, You're like,
you know what we're going for it? Maybe not like
The only comparison I can think of is the Rams right,
and they traded the farm essentially for their Super Bowl ring.
(12:33):
And I think if you ask people in the Rams organization,
they probably be pretty happy with that because they paid off. Now,
which draft selection at pick fifteen, knowing what you know
about the Jets roster is the full send move. We're
pushing all the chips to the middle of the table.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
You know. I think that you're looking at someone's going
to help you on offense, obviously, because you know, we
just got some saying how efficient that defense has been.
So what about Adulton can care? You know, I know
you have some good bodies at the tight end position.
Dalton kin Kaid's a little different though. He's almost like
a slot receiver, you know, and so you add him
to the mix as more of a wide receiver. You
(13:11):
think about all those years the Packers maybe going defense
or you know, not addressing a wide receiver in the
first round, all those years for Aaron Rodgers. What if
the Jets says, kind of, okay, you're our quarterback. Now
we're gonna surround you with more firepower, more ways, more
guys that you could get the ball in their hands
and they can go create make plays. Dalton Kinkaid. He
(13:32):
is You can make the argument he's the best pass
catcher in this draft. His ability to go up, isolate
the football and then become a dynamic threat after the
catch is something that is pretty attractive in this draft,
and so Dalton Kincaid would be really interesting. I know,
tight ends not the biggest need on the roster. Wide
receiver not the biggest need on the roster, but you know,
(13:54):
I think if you're talking about going all in and
doing what you know, trying maybe to surround your quarterback
with as much firepower as possible, that would be that
type of move.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
All right, Moving on to round two, the Jets had
picks forty two and forty three. Remember pick forty two
was acquired in the Elijah More trade that is now
in possession of the Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
The Jets only have pick forty three.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
So with the forty third pick in the NFL Draft,
who do you have the Jets selecting.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Jano Benton from Wisconsin. I really love the fit that
he provides for this team. Six three and a half,
three hundred and ten pounds basically almost you know, a
lot of similarities in size to Roderick Jones, but He's
a guy that is interchangeable. You know, you want to
play him over the bag gap, he can do that.
You want him to play more of a nose where you
know he's head up over the center or shaden the
(14:42):
a gap or the outside shoulder of the center. He
can do that as well. So has that power, has
the ability to work in the middle, but also as
quickness where he can win one on ones, he can
shoot gaps. There's a lot to like about Benton and
just twenty one years old for a senior, so he's
a younger player, still fit, figuring things out of just
you know how good he can be. But there's a
(15:03):
lot to like about him moving forward and once he
gets pro coaching and what's that just getting all that
talent out of him. So I like Benton. If they're
looking for defensive line depth, I think Benton gives you that.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And I think this makes a lot of sense from
a Jets perspective. As it stands, the Jets have Quinn Williams,
they have Quinton Jefferson, who's played both tackle and defensive
end pretty much of close to a fifty to fifty
splint in terms of his snaps last season, with the Seahawks.
So the Jets lose Sheldon Rankins and Nathan Sheppard in
free agency. They've re signed Solomon Thomas, but there's not
(15:38):
a ton of youth at that position outside of Quinn Williams,
who's basically on the precipice of his second contract in
the NFL and John Franklin Myers has inside outside versatility.
So in the influx of youth here with Benton makes
a ton of sense for the Jets. Do you think,
like how pro ready do you think he is? Also
(16:00):
knowing that he's going to play in a rotation where
he doesn't get a whole bunch of snaps, could that
be a benefit I think for almost any defensive lineman,
no doubt.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Keeping him fresh. I mean he he played a lot
of snaps at Wisconsin because he was you know that
that knows he was the guy in the middle of
that defensive line. But yeah, you make him part of
a rotation and you know, like I said, he has
the power where he can reset the line of scrimmage.
He gives you that, but he also can move outside
and you know he has and we showed it during
the Senior Bowl when he was in one on ones.
(16:30):
He has that quickness. He has pass rush potential where
he wasn't asked to do that. He was asked to
occupy blocks, take on doubles in college, but when he
had a chance to have those one on one opportunities
in mobile, you saw the pass rush potential. So I
think that you have some versatility with him. And you know,
it's not one of those guys where, Okay, the offense
sees this player coming onto the field, you know, you
(16:54):
know what they're trying to do. This is Benton's a
guy that can line up multiple spots on the defensive line.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
On a round five.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Again, the Jets had a fourth, a fifth, and a
sixth before the deal. Now their draft ends after the
fifth round. As it stands, they have a pair of them.
Who are you going with each pick? Let's start with
the first one.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I have him going staying on defense and going to
the secondary where they're taking safety Jason Taylor, the second
out of Oklahoma State, five to eleven and a half,
two hundred and five pounds. You want a guy that
get his hands on the football. Thirteen passes defended, six
interceptions last season alone. Let the big twelve interceptions and
he tested really well at the combine, so maybe the
(17:35):
size is just more average than above average. Okay, well,
this is a guy that ran four to five zero
jumped forty three inches the one four to nine ten
yard split shows that reaction quickness that he has. He
is a guy that you know, I think fits what
they want to do in the back half. You know,
the way he can run the alley, the fast angles
(17:56):
that he takes both against the run and against the pass.
Very aggressive player. Now sometimes that aggressiveness works against some
at times that that is a that will happen. But
he's a guy that is smart, athletic, and tough and
in the fourth round looking for a safety, I think
he checks those boxes that this team could be looking for.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Also, just funny because the Jets were tormented by a
guy named Jason Taylor.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yes for a long time, not really.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
And also by the way, Jason Taylor was a New
York Jet for one point in his career. So on
a side note, real quick, the Jets have the like
one of the greatest all time teams. If you were
just going by like by names and you're in position
by position, and let's say you were let's say they
were in their prime or regardless, the Jets would have
(18:43):
a great team because you're looking at the Danian, Tomlinson,
Brett Farv, Michael Vick, Jason Taylor, Ed Reid, Oh.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah, I forget about Ed Reid Man. Oh yeah, that's true. Jeez,
that's the LC was the one that came to mind first,
was you know, yeah, you forget how he finished his
career up there? Yeah, no, that's interesting. That's that's it's
always interesting when you go back and you realize, oh yeah,
Mitts Smith played on the Cardinals. You know, like I
forgot about that, or you know, like it's it's funny
(19:13):
how some of these teams or players all time greats
finished their career. Say, you know, Joe Namath played for
the Rams. Oh oh forgot about that, or you know,
I never realized it. So yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Okay, let's close this baby out.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
It's a seven round mock draft, but for the Jets,
it's really a five round mock draft. With the second
fifth round pick. Who are the Jets closing out there?
Twenty twenty three NFL Draft with let's.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Go back to the offensive line. We started with Broderick Jones.
We're gonna end with another offensive lineman, kind of an
offensive lemon sandwich here. Joey Fisher Shepherd Division two, six four,
three hundred pounds. He was a right tackle at the
Division two ranks, projects better inside a guard. He's a
little bit of an older player, he's already twenty five
(19:58):
years old. Really faascinating background. Coming out as a senior
in high school, he thought he was gonna be at
Maryland as a defensive end. Coaching change that changed his
thinking a little bit. Ends up at Towson, didn't work
out there, He kind of goes home. He's actually working
with in the family business as a locksmith, finds his
way to nearby Division two Shepherd and what he's done
(20:21):
the last four years, really three seasons. They didn't play
the COVID year, So the last three seasons as a
starter at right tackle, big part of that offense helped
protect Tyson Bagent, who is the all time leader in
passing touchdowns in college football history. He has a good
chance to be drafted somewhere in the later rounds, And
it might be a little bit of a contest who
(20:41):
was the first Shepherd prospect drafted this year? And I
think there's a good chance it could be Joey Fisher,
who was just a plug and play offensive lineman. There's
a lot to like about the play personality, the competitive toughness,
he moves well, he's strong, his understanding of leverage and
drive blocking is outstanding. And this is a guy that
(21:01):
can step in from day one and really provide depth
up front. So I like, like I said, play tackle
right tackle in college. I like him better inside of guard.
Gives you that versatility that you're banking on, that interior depth.
So there's a lot there that I think for jects
as an NFL starter pretty quickly.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
With Joey Fisher. One incredible story, the Locksmith thing is awesome.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Two.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
You mentioned the age, and I think it's important to
bring this up because Joe Douglas said, I believe he's
at the NFL Annual League Meeting. That part of the
reason why he felt like the Jets in the day
three so last year they drafted Michael Clemens. Part of
the reason he said he thought Michael Clemens was able
to step in from an early part of his career
and contribute was his age. Michael Clemens right now is
(21:49):
twenty five years old. They drafted him as a twenty
four year old. He turned twenty five in August. He'll
turn twenty six this August. What you just said, Joey
Fisher twenty five years old. I think a lot of
people view that as like, oh, well, he's like an
old rookie, not very appealing. But for the Jets, who
you said are in win now mode with Aaron Rodgers
under center to have depth that important positions like offensive line,
(22:13):
do you think that that's almost a leg up for
Joey Fisher seeing all that ball and I know that
he was out for three years, but being more mentally
and physically mature than let's say a twenty one year old.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
No, No, I mean that's the glass half full approach
to this. If he were, say twenty one years old,
he's probably not available in the fifth round. So you know,
the Jets aren't drafting him anyways. But the fact that
he is a little bit older that takes him off
the board for some teams because they they put a
lot of stock in age. But for a team like
the Jets that are in win now mode and a
guy like this who is physically mature, ready to step
(22:46):
in from day one and give you something that And
again we're talking about a fifth round pick here. We're
not talking about, you know, a top one hundred pick,
even a fourth round pick. This is a later fifth
round pick. So you know, I think you have to
compromise on something, and I'll compromise on age, knowing I'm
getting a guy with a pro skill set and someone
that's gonna help me in twenty twenty three, not someone
(23:07):
that I feel like I have to do all this
work and sit develop. Maybe he turns out. You know,
this is a guy I think is ready to step
in from day one and at least give me that depth,
and if he finds the field, I think he'll be okay.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
And that is the twenty twenty three New York Mock
Jets Draft Class, presented by Dame Brugler.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah that's how do we feel about this?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
I meant it, let's just skip, yeah, skip the week?
What we all can? You know, we don't need the
actual draft now because we know what's gonna happen. So, uh,
you know, it's I mean, it seems unlikely right that
they're gonna make uh you know, those exact uh in
those spots. May maybe they move around a little bit.
It might be some trays involved, so that obviously will uh,
you know, mess up my predictions here. But I think that,
(23:55):
you know, like when you're doing a mock draft, it's
all about can I defend this pick? And so like
I and I did my seven round mock draft, can
I defend each one of these picks? And I made
sure that every pick I made I could defend some way,
some shape or form, whether it's you know, the need
is there, this is the type of player that these
teams go after. And with the Jets, I think that,
you know, the selections we made are all based off
(24:18):
of what this team looks for, what they value the
current state or the roster, and the ways that we
know they want to build for the future. So I
think if they came out with this hall, they would
feel pretty good about you know, it's not last year.
You know, last year, three first round picks to top
ten guys, it's not last year. And so you know,
(24:38):
obviously I have to have expectations, but based off of
what the AMMO they have going into draft weekend, I
think the draft our Jets fans would feel pretty good
if this is the Draft Hall that New York came
out of it.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
With especially positionally, what the positions that you hit on
in this mock draft to me check a lot of
boxes not only for what the Jets could potentially want
this year, but also set themselves up for twenty twenty
four and beyond, which is scary to think about because
we're still not even halfway through twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
The draft is a couple of days away.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Let's enjoy it while we can, and next time we
talke Dane, the Jets will have a new draft class
and we can analyze as far as we want, and
that is exciting.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I hope you have You're going to Kansas City, right.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I'll be in Kansas City. I've already started scout in
the barbecue. You know. That's a big part of this.
We got to make sure we're you know, being efficient
with our time and hitting up the right spots. So
that's that's, you know, that's an important part of the plan.
But yeah, we'll be doing a live show down there
on the Athletic with you know me, Robert Mays, Nate
Tice and on the Athletics. That will be a lot
of fun and I can't wait. It's gonna be an
(25:45):
unpredictable first round, and obviously that'll shape what happens on
Day two, day three. So it's gonna be a lot.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Of fun, I feel like from a draft analyst perspective,
and unpredictable draft means it'll be a more fun draft. Oh,
we means you're gonna get some authentic reactions. It's gonna
be fantastic, and you're gonna get some authentic barbecue. So
I need a review not only on the Jets draft
next week, but also the Kansas City barbecue.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
What what we liked, what we didn't like and what?
Uh you know what this is? What? This is what
I need.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I need like a a draft grade, not in terms
of a letter, you know, like a five seven six seven,
seven seven. I need a draft grade on Kansas City
Barbecue as a whole.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I think I think we can make it happen.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah, I'll try, you know, the scout in me will
want to write reports and all that, but I'll try
not to. But yeah, we gotta grade it. We gotta
where the where did you get better? Where? You know,
maybe we will find a true blue chipper in there. Yeah,
I'm excited to look that. That's part of the fun
is actually you know, looking in that part of it.
(26:45):
So yeah, it's Kansas City. I doubt they'll disappoint, so
it should be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Awesome. Well, Dane, enjoy your time in Kansas City and
we'll talk to you next week and we analyze the
Jets draft box.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Yea wait, thanks,
