Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, fundamentals and techniques, that's the key. Right sixteen minutes,
right sixty minutes actual the NFC West. Let me start
(00:27):
off at the Seattle Seahawks. I gave him a B plus.
I'm over high B plus. They argue was a eight minus.
I'm gonna give him a bat plus. It started off
the draft taking him guard grades able. I don't know
if to go to state. He played left tackle last year.
He also played right tackle guard as well. But when
(00:51):
he went to the Singing Bowl, they just saw him
as like his prospect. It was the best interior o'd
lineman in the draft. Or they saw him basically the
guy that can move inside and be a pro bowler
for ten years. So impressed it the Senior Bowl. He
impressed the scout and combine, but basically he be starting
one of the god positions. But the Seahawks so solidly
(01:12):
pick up there. He's just seem to be pro ready
according to the scouts. Next, in the second round, they
took safety Nick eave and Warred out of South Carolina.
He was a guy that impressed at the combine. I
mean I always saw him as a good safety. He
saw him as a safety linebacker, high bred because of
the sides, but I don't see him really as that
(01:32):
physical tackler, even though he can hit. I see him
as an all around playmaker. But with the sea Edo
secondary so deep, I don't think he immediately has to
become a starter. So he will be his starting straw
and taped eventually, but they can use him as a
moble piece to possibly move down the extra linebacker basically
(01:53):
used to his old skill set. But he just need
to improve his awareness and improve against the run, so
he's not really that dominant tackle of but he can't
hit to get more sideline the sideline line back up
back in straw and savy potential because of his converge skills,
definitely cover tight end as well, and next in the
second round, he want with tight end Lojah Royal out
(02:14):
of Miami. He's more of an athletic guy, so he
coming up one year big production with cam Ward Well
number one overall. But he is a willing blocker because
in Miami they don't allow you to play without blocking,
so that's one plus and luckily you don't have to
be thrown in the fire here because they do have
no fan Well, he just known as a guy that
loves going across the middle, and I think he would
(02:37):
be a good mismatch, you know, as they change up
they wide receiver before give him somebody else to grow too.
But they just like to see him improve his route
running and add some strep to his frame. He does
come with some injury concerns. I think he'll be okay,
so he does get him starting tighten potential to me,
so definitely a mismatch this year, so I think they'll
(02:57):
find a way to use him. You don't know a
fan you the same thing, but say with the wide
receiver course slightly down, it definitely helps. And in the
third round they went with quarterback Jalen Milroe out of Alabama.
I think that was a solid pickup. I felt like
he was better than Tyler Shuck should have went above that.
I mean, he does come to accuracy issues, but he
(03:20):
is the best athlete as far as running. As far
as the quarterbacks in the draft. I would like to
see him stay at Alabama for another year continue to progress.
But I know he did spend a year with Kaitlyn
the ball we should help him overall. I said, he
just need to improve his awareness in his pocket presence,
just his overall accuracy. I say he can't throw the
(03:42):
deep ball, but just as far as standing in the
pocket and picking you apart, still need to get better
at that. I like him as a number two quarterback
for now. We're starting quarterback potential, so solidly picking him
up in the third round and in the fifth round,
he went with defensive tackle Rally Mills out of Know
the Dame. He's a strong defensive lineman. They give you
(04:03):
inside outside versatility to play anywhere on the d line.
He does have good NFL size and strength with a
high motor. Pretty good run stopper, but he just need
to continue to improve his past rush and continue to
improve his technique. But he does have started potential. I
think he's gotta definitely be in a rotation this year.
I think definitely on early downs with his run stop
(04:25):
and good coming handy as he continued to develop his
past rushing. Then they went with wide receiver Tory Horton
out of Colorado Steak. He's a five year college player
with two years at Nevada. He was a productive wide
receiver and a good punt returner. The lanky guy with
good speed and hands, good route running, but he's coming
(04:49):
off a d injury, so he does go with some
injury concerns and he needs to improve his strength to
show they can break press coverage. So he'll provide deathly
Now with the position I said, with the need, I'm
sure he'll find way on the field of injuries. Hit
Any went with tight end Robbie Outs from Alabama. He's
(05:09):
a strong, athletic blocking tight end, plays with good physicality.
He's a high level special teams player, but he likes
the left. He need to clean up some technique issues,
so that's why they moving him the full back. So
he should be the starting fullback going into this year,
at least developed into be there. Then in the sixth round,
(05:33):
Rice Campbell do out of Kansas. He's a four year
start at right tackle, but he's moving inside do to
his size, but he got good toughness. He's a strong
lineman with good footwork run blocking skills. We just need
to clean up his technique and improve his past blocking,
so he should provide death inside possibly right tackle too.
(05:55):
We should earn him the spot. Then in the seventh round,
they went with a sleep for a player I like,
and Damien Martine is running back out of Miami. I
know Damien Martinez from the Oregan State days. You listen
to my college segment, you know the DJU fan So
mar Team is just a tough running back. I say
more than Marshawn Lynch. Type style, good power back, productive,
(06:18):
good size, good hands, He's a smooth runner. He just
lacks top speed, need to improve his blocking, so I
think he'll definitely make the roster. It's a third running back.
Actually took tackle Mason Richmond out of Iowa. He's a
durable college tackle with a lot of experience. He's a
(06:40):
good technique, but he may need to move inside through
the lack of left and strengthen way to his frame.
So going in the seventh round, say he's a priority
free agent to them, but he will probably earn his spot.
At last, they took wide receiver Rookie White the third LB.
(07:01):
He's a productive five year college player for two years
of Michigan State. He's a high level special teams player
with four block punts. He's played as known for having
good hands getting opening traffic, but he lacks top speed
and need to add strength to his friend doing a
special team's ability and skill set. I think he could
make the roster despite being that last pick. I said
(07:25):
overall solid. Dren So I gave it a B plus
got a start and guard Gray Disable got a creature
start his drawing safety movable piece, and nickgame and Ward
basically a freaking nature got an athletic movable tight end.
And Elijah Royal got a quarterback to develop for the future.
(07:45):
Dayla Monroe. You got a rotational piece on the defensive
line that Roley mills By some wide receiver death Tory
Horton got a start in full back for Robbie House
possible with guard death Roll Bradce Campbell Dear got a
number three running back and Damien Martineers who could move
(08:07):
up the roster, the tackle of Mason Richmond who could
make the roster, and a wide receivering special teams player
Ricky White the third who could make the roster. It's
overall solid. Drafted me next for the Arizona Cardinals. I
gave him a B. He started off in the first
(08:27):
round taking defensive tackle Walton Nolan out an old mess
that was about the right fit form. They had him
going between eleven thirty two, so sixteam is pretty good
value for him. Please move a pass rush defensive tackle.
You can also stop to run. It's an athletic player
can play inside or outside. The best position might be inside,
(08:51):
but in this system he could possibly be at defensive end.
I believe they played at three to four. I said, Hi,
I MODI player just needed to clean up some technique issue.
You continue to just improve as a Russian. But I
don't believe he'll be a starter from the beginning because
they don't need him to be. But I believe he'll
definitely be in a rotation, especially on third downs, until
(09:13):
he can start. Then in the second round they got
cornerback Will Johnson out of Michigan. He's a player I
really like say. He was originally getting patricks certained from parisons,
but he had a bad shown at the scouting combine,
shown with short arms and not as fast as expected,
even though he's not really a blazer anyway, but it
(09:35):
would have helped, so he fell to the second round.
I still believe it's good value for him. I still
had the first round bread on him. He's a physical
player who they believe but also play safety because our
physical is But I see him as a number two
corner the number one potential. Definitely got to can cover
physical or bigger wide receivers. They already be in the
(09:58):
mix for a starting position coming in that they do
need help in the secondary. Then in the third round,
they selected edge rusher Jordan Birch out of Oregon. He's
a player that spent three years playing for South Carolina,
but he's improving past Russia. More for that guy than
a power guy. Hee had good size. He can play
(10:19):
defensive end or outside linebacker when he a stand up
or handing the dirt. Versatility. He's a high motive player
and a good tackler with good run stopping ability. So
it's a high level special teams player. So I believe
he has them three down potential, but he just lacks
top speed. Need to continue to improve his past rush moves,
(10:40):
past rush technique, but they're pretty low there on d line.
So I think let's say he has played to give
him versatility off the ball as well, so he can
definitely get some time on special teams as he continue
to develop. And in the fourth round, he want a
linebacker Simon out of Ohio State. He's a physical middle
(11:01):
linebacker with good run stopping skills. It's only a one
year starter. He has good coverage, he's an improving past rusher.
He just lacks top speed and he has short arms
and needs to improve his technique overall, but he does
have started potential as a run stopping middle linebacker's ability
(11:22):
to cover tight ends as well, so they provide death.
But now then in the fifth round they were corner
back Denzel Bert out of Ohio State. He's a four
year starter. He started as a freshman Ohio State head
A lap a little earlier probably would have went a
little higher, but he did kind of get exposed last
year at times, even though he didn't really stay out
(11:46):
a lotup for too long because of his talent. But
it is good speed, it's a physical player to get
you inside outside versatility. Also the special team's experience. But
they just need to contain improve as a way. Stopped
taking so many breasts, basically cleaning up the penalties. I
think it was technique. Let's say he did kind of
(12:07):
get exposed last season, but I said, what position the
need any very talented player. I think he could at
least earn his spot, try to work as way at
the depth shot. Then in the sixth round they will
with guard Hayden Connor out of Texas. He played left guard.
He has good size, strength, past blocking, good awareness for
(12:31):
the position. He just lacks athleticism for speed and you
need to continue to improve his technique. He'll be a
players trying to earn a spot, so I'm not sure
he'll still be around then. Last in the seventh round,
they chose safety kits and Crossford out of Nevada. He's
(12:53):
a five year player for four years at Texas, but
he has limited starting experience. He's very experienced on special teams.
He impressed at the combine with the speed and physicality.
It could be more of a movie piece in the secondary,
but he lacks our deal. Limp needs to improve his
technique facing the team develop overall. So he's another player
(13:16):
that could be fighting for Rols the spot as well,
but it seems more likely he might make it as
well as a special team. It's a good draft there.
Gave it a beat like to walk to no Olympics.
It gives him a potential starting defensive tackle with defensive
end and on that system get a starting cornerback and
Will Johnson, I said gave number one potential depth of
(13:40):
number two besides for the position. Got an edge rusher
and Jordan Birch give you good death at defensive end
outside linebacker. Another rusher to the mix, got linebacker Cody Simon.
He provides that, but he gives him starting middle linebacker
potential cornerback Denzel Bert provide death in the secondary. I'm
(14:03):
also contributed on special teams. I say Connor from Crawford
probably had to earn their spots. But Connor said backup guard.
Maybe from Crawford said more of a special teamer and
move the secondary piece next. For the Los Angeles Rams,
I gave him a C. I probably would have gave
(14:24):
him a C minors, but they did trade down out
of the first round. Was a smart move. Basically moved
him up to a seed for me. They started off
in the second round with tight end Terrence Ferguson out
of Oregon. You're a big pass catching tight end, good quickness,
basically had a high volume of short catches. So when
(14:47):
I watched him, I wasn't too impressed. He's more of
a I said, they go to target. I don't see
him being one of those top level tight ends in
the league. I see him more in the mid level.
But he needs to continue to improve as a blocker
and show more physicality as a blocker. I believe he does.
(15:07):
Say of starting potential, I see him more of a
to a mid level tight end, but he gives him
a number two tight end for now my opinion, possibly
number three. Then in the third round, they went with
edge rusher Josiah Stewart out of Michigan. He's a four
year productive of edge russer with two years of Coastal
(15:27):
Carolina where he was productive as well. He lacks ideal
size and left. He's a tough player with good speed, leverage,
the strength. He just need to containe to improve his
past rush moves and avoid and big alignment because of
the size. He's a player that people thought Hardball would
(15:47):
take just because of that physicality and that toughness. He
has good leadership, but the Rams pounced on him instead.
A solid player there. In the fourth round, he took
run back Quas Hunter out of All Burn. He a tough, undersized,
dual threat running back who loves contact. He's experienced kick returner.
(16:11):
He just lacks ideal size and speed. Needs to improve
as a blogger, but he does get three down back potential.
He probably best is the number two back. Just basically
a change your pace to kind of fit the mold
of what they have the smaller power backs. In the
fifth round, they took defensive tackle Tyre Hamilton out of
(16:34):
Ohio State. He's undersized, run stopping defensive tackle with good footwork,
plays with good leverage and quickness. He just lacks ideal
size and all left needs to add some weight to
his frame. Varcantinea to improve as a pass Russian, so
he's more of a developmental defensive tackle. We will possibly
(16:56):
give you some value into rotation, but they'll just provide death.
But now anyway, With linebacker who Paul Jr. Out of
Old Miss, he spent three years at Arkansas. He's a
solid tackler. He's more of a do it all linebacker.
He's good outside inside versatility with good covered skills versus
(17:19):
running backs and tight ends. But he just lacks ideal
size and left. He's more quick than fast, but he
needs to continue to improve his awareness. I believe he
will be more of a special teams player who can
provide a good depth, possibly jumping to the rotation if needed.
(17:39):
Last in the seventh round with wide receiver could not
a month field out of pit. He spent one year Actron.
He's an athletic, strong roight receiver, good physicality, good run
after the catch ability. He's las top speed, lacks ideal size. Well,
I need to improve his round running. But going to
(18:02):
the seventh round, he's gonna need to earn his spot,
so it's not guaranteed he makes the roster, even though
with limited picks he possibly feel I said, I gave
it a CE, say more of a C minus draft
smart move trading down, so they gotta start and tight
end potentially and Terns Ferguson got an edge rush of
(18:23):
the add to the mix. Just Sorry Stewart running back
more than mold type and Joe Quays Hunter. He'll be
the number three I needed to start. Got defensive tackle
in Ty Hamilton who helped stop the run early. They
continue to add on his past rush. He need some
help there. I say he's just to death play at
this point. Possibly rotation. Got a linebacker and Paul Jr.
(18:47):
Who should be able to help on special teams. Depit
the position outside and inside versatility. He took a while
receiver in Mothfield, the playmaker I said, may need to
earn his spot going late in the seventh rown. It
could have been better, especially for a team that people
got high hopes for. It would have been nice to
(19:08):
even keep their first round pick. That's a smart move
to move down. I would like to see more impact
players plans for the San Francisco forty nine ers. I
gave him a C. He can kind of argue could
be a C plus, but I'm gonna give it a C.
He started off with a pick. I actually got right
with edge Russier Mike Hail Williams with Georgia. I just
(19:31):
felt like he was more that pick. NI could replaced
Drake Greenlaw, who he lost as a physical player. He
more so like his athletic bill and his physical play.
They believe the injuries kind of held him back, so
his production wasn't as high. I'm not as big on
Mike hal Williams personally, but it seemed like he could
possibly be taking that Leonard Floyd role as an edge
(19:55):
Russier opposite of Bosa instead of the green Love world
that I envisioned. He's basically a strong pass rusher who
can also stop the run. It's a high mode player.
Say good athleticism, you know NFL sized the NFL bill
his need to containue to prove his technique, had some
(20:16):
pass rush moves, let's say solid pick up there much
needed with the losses they had, and in the second
round they went with defensive tackle Alfrad Collins out of Texas.
He's one of those mammoth defensive tackles who can definitely
stop the run, but he does have good pass rush
potential and good strength with special teams experience, he was
(20:41):
basically limited starter as he played behind Byron Murphy and
Tavandre Sweat, both in the first round the Seahawks and
Titans prior years. But Collins he looked like he's going
to be a start out at the gate with the losses,
so he definitely give you two down potential for possibly
being at three down potentials starter. Then in the third
(21:02):
round it with a linebacker Nick Martin out of Oklahoma State.
He's an undersized sideline and sideline linebacker, but he's very physical.
He's a good run stopper and experienced special teams player.
He needs to continue to prove his awareness and his
coverage skills by adding stripped to his frame. They kind
(21:23):
of considered him to be overdrafted. Because he's coming off
a knee injury, but he basically had a big twenty
twenty three season, one of the top tacklers in college
with one hundred and forty tackles. But he can play
on special teams as he continued to develop, but I
believe he does give him started potential eventually. Thanks They
(21:44):
went with cornerback up In Stout out of Western Kentucky.
He's a five year college player, physical, undersized corner played
two years in North Texas. It's good athleticism, good acceleration,
but he fits best in the nickel. He is an
experienced punt returner, but he needs to improve his awareness
and clean up his technique to cut down penalties. He's
(22:07):
another player that they believed that they overdrafted, but he
should be able to contribute. It's both a punt returner
and give death in the secondary. In the fourth round,
they went with defensive tackle CJ. West out of Indiana.
He's a five year college player with four years at
(22:28):
Kent State, four years as a starter. He's a high
model run stop plays with good quickness. Needs to continue
to improve his pass rush moves and clean up his technique,
but he does have three down play a potential, but
for now he'll be in a rotation. I believe on
(22:48):
passing downs to kind of offset Collins. So I believe
Collins will play the first two downs and then they
rotate west On and for the past rush downs because
he's a little quicker. Unless Colin just proved to be
that guy TO said he could be, then he chose
wide receiver Jordan Watkins had an old miss. He's a
(23:11):
five year player for two years at Louisville. He's a
quick rode receiver. Fit's best in the slot, but he
does give inside and outside versatility. He's a physical player
that's more like a possession wide receiver, but he is
good after the catch, and he does have return experience,
being a very good part returner. But he just needs
(23:35):
to improve his route running and it's catching ability. Overall.
He's another player that considered to be overdrafted, but I
think he's a guy that could provide a good depth
give him at least special teams value. Then in the
fifth round he went running back Jordan James out of Oregon.
(23:56):
He's an undersized dual threat back, good quickness, good after catch,
he needs to improve his awareness, show a little bit
more patience. He lacks ideal acceleration and shiftiness, change and
pace third down back potential, but he'll provide depth now anyone.
(24:16):
With safety mar Quest Single out of Kansas State. He's
an undersized safety, five year player with three in North
Dakota State. He's a physical player, good run style for
more of a movable piece that they believe will possibly
plays nickel corner. It needs to improve his awareness, clean
up to coverage issues. But here's another special teams player,
(24:40):
will Ye good depth in the secondary. Then in the
seventh round. Then with quarterback Curtis Rookie out of Indiana.
He is a six year college player with five in Ohio.
Played with ACL last year, so he comes with Andrew concerns.
He's a tough player with good leadership up, good size,
(25:01):
the big arm. He just needs to improve his accuracy,
clean up his technique. So I think he could be
a good backup quarterback. I don't know if he really
has started potential, but definitely number three the number two quarterback,
so not bad as a developmental piece. Then they with
a guard Connor Kobe out of Iowa. He's a strong
(25:22):
four year starter, mostly played card but he does have
experience the right tackle, it's good size for the position.
He's good run blogger. He needs to improve his past
blocker overall footwork and technique wise, so he don't need
to earn his spot if he does. He's more developmental anyway,
(25:43):
but he's at the back end of the roster for now.
Last steak with wide receiver Junior Bergen out of Montana.
He's an undersized athlete that we use that running back
wide receiver keep returning in return, but he just likes
the ideal size speeding strepp and he didn't really have
good production, but he could be more of a gadgy guy,
(26:06):
definitely guarded spy as a returner. With so many other
players drafted with pup return skills, I'm not sure he
hearn that, but we'll see what they decided to do
with them. So I said, I gave you a C.
Forty nine has always seen to have weird drafts like this.
It's not really top level productive players, you know. I
do like them. Starting off with the age rushing Mikail
(26:26):
Williams says, give him some good value off the age
pars replacing Lennard Floyd to secondary age Russian you gotta
start in defensive tackle health for Collins should be a
help replace some losses there, especially in the run stock
in the department. He's got a backup linebacker and Nick Martin,
who started potential on the outside, were possibly the thumper inside,
(26:52):
got some depth a corner. We're up and stout. He's
a smaller guy who gives you vertill in the nickel.
With the Nikel quarterback moving to the number one, you
got another defensive tackle c J. West who could possibly
be a starter, definitely give you some third down potential,
rotational to even be a rotational player. Some more wide
(27:15):
receiver death with Jordan Watkins say, not really a start
of potential for another guy be in a mix. Jordan
James is definitely running back, which always seen this to
get hit with injuries, so never heard us they have
another player there. We've seen them go all the way
down to the depth chart last season. Seagules should be
a special teams player by some definitely secondary in need.
(27:39):
The Curtis Wok should be a backup quarterback for them
to develop behind Perry another chief Ops and Steven around them.
I believe Coleby and virgin we have to earn that spots,
so I'm not really sure that even make the roster.
I said they've got some players that can help, but
I would like to see a lot more, especially with
the loss of Day the head off season. Thanks for
(28:03):
tuning in, appreciate the support before they gave you the
AFC West Real soon
Hey, fundamentals and techniques, that's the key. Right sixteen minutes,
right sixty minutes actual the NFC West. Let me start
(00:27):
off at the Seattle Seahawks. I gave him a B plus.
I'm over high B plus. They argue was a eight minus.
I'm gonna give him a bat plus. It started off
the draft taking him guard grades able. I don't know
if to go to state. He played left tackle last year.
He also played right tackle guard as well. But when
(00:51):
he went to the Singing Bowl, they just saw him
as like his prospect. It was the best interior o'd
lineman in the draft. Or they saw him basically the
guy that can move inside and be a pro bowler
for ten years. So impressed it the Senior Bowl. He
impressed the scout and combine, but basically he be starting
one of the god positions. But the Seahawks so solidly
(01:12):
pick up there. He's just seem to be pro ready
according to the scouts. Next, in the second round, they
took safety Nick eave and Warred out of South Carolina.
He was a guy that impressed at the combine. I
mean I always saw him as a good safety. He
saw him as a safety linebacker, high bred because of
the sides, but I don't see him really as that
(01:32):
physical tackler, even though he can hit. I see him
as an all around playmaker. But with the sea Edo
secondary so deep, I don't think he immediately has to
become a starter. So he will be his starting straw
and taped eventually, but they can use him as a
moble piece to possibly move down the extra linebacker basically
(01:53):
used to his old skill set. But he just need
to improve his awareness and improve against the run, so
he's not really that dominant tackle of but he can't
hit to get more sideline the sideline line back up
back in straw and savy potential because of his converge skills,
definitely cover tight end as well, and next in the
second round, he want with tight end Lojah Royal out
(02:14):
of Miami. He's more of an athletic guy, so he
coming up one year big production with cam Ward Well
number one overall. But he is a willing blocker because
in Miami they don't allow you to play without blocking,
so that's one plus and luckily you don't have to
be thrown in the fire here because they do have
no fan Well, he just known as a guy that
loves going across the middle, and I think he would
(02:37):
be a good mismatch, you know, as they change up
they wide receiver before give him somebody else to grow too.
But they just like to see him improve his route
running and add some strep to his frame. He does
come with some injury concerns. I think he'll be okay,
so he does get him starting tighten potential to me,
so definitely a mismatch this year, so I think they'll
(02:57):
find a way to use him. You don't know a
fan you the same thing, but say with the wide
receiver course slightly down, it definitely helps. And in the
third round they went with quarterback Jalen Milroe out of Alabama.
I think that was a solid pickup. I felt like
he was better than Tyler Shuck should have went above that.
I mean, he does come to accuracy issues, but he
(03:20):
is the best athlete as far as running. As far
as the quarterbacks in the draft. I would like to
see him stay at Alabama for another year continue to progress.
But I know he did spend a year with Kaitlyn
the ball we should help him overall. I said, he
just need to improve his awareness in his pocket presence,
just his overall accuracy. I say he can't throw the
(03:42):
deep ball, but just as far as standing in the
pocket and picking you apart, still need to get better
at that. I like him as a number two quarterback
for now. We're starting quarterback potential, so solidly picking him
up in the third round and in the fifth round,
he went with defensive tackle Rally Mills out of Know
the Dame. He's a strong defensive lineman. They give you
(04:03):
inside outside versatility to play anywhere on the d line.
He does have good NFL size and strength with a
high motor. Pretty good run stopper, but he just need
to continue to improve his past rush and continue to
improve his technique. But he does have started potential. I
think he's gotta definitely be in a rotation this year.
I think definitely on early downs with his run stop
(04:25):
and good coming handy as he continued to develop his
past rushing. Then they went with wide receiver Tory Horton
out of Colorado Steak. He's a five year college player
with two years at Nevada. He was a productive wide
receiver and a good punt returner. The lanky guy with
good speed and hands, good route running, but he's coming
(04:49):
off a d injury, so he does go with some
injury concerns and he needs to improve his strength to
show they can break press coverage. So he'll provide deathly
Now with the position I said, with the need, I'm
sure he'll find way on the field of injuries. Hit
Any went with tight end Robbie Outs from Alabama. He's
(05:09):
a strong, athletic blocking tight end, plays with good physicality.
He's a high level special teams player, but he likes
the left. He need to clean up some technique issues,
so that's why they moving him the full back. So
he should be the starting fullback going into this year,
at least developed into be there. Then in the sixth round,
(05:33):
Rice Campbell do out of Kansas. He's a four year
start at right tackle, but he's moving inside do to
his size, but he got good toughness. He's a strong
lineman with good footwork run blocking skills. We just need
to clean up his technique and improve his past blocking,
so he should provide death inside possibly right tackle too.
(05:55):
We should earn him the spot. Then in the seventh round,
they went with a sleep for a player I like,
and Damien Martine is running back out of Miami. I
know Damien Martinez from the Oregan State days. You listen
to my college segment, you know the DJU fan So
mar Team is just a tough running back. I say
more than Marshawn Lynch. Type style, good power back, productive,
(06:18):
good size, good hands, He's a smooth runner. He just
lacks top speed, need to improve his blocking, so I
think he'll definitely make the roster. It's a third running back.
Actually took tackle Mason Richmond out of Iowa. He's a
durable college tackle with a lot of experience. He's a
(06:40):
good technique, but he may need to move inside through
the lack of left and strengthen way to his frame.
So going in the seventh round, say he's a priority
free agent to them, but he will probably earn his spot.
At last, they took wide receiver Rookie White the third LB.
(07:01):
He's a productive five year college player for two years
of Michigan State. He's a high level special teams player
with four block punts. He's played as known for having
good hands getting opening traffic, but he lacks top speed
and need to add strength to his friend doing a
special team's ability and skill set. I think he could
make the roster despite being that last pick. I said
(07:25):
overall solid. Dren So I gave it a B plus
got a start and guard Gray Disable got a creature
start his drawing safety movable piece, and nickgame and Ward
basically a freaking nature got an athletic movable tight end.
And Elijah Royal got a quarterback to develop for the future.
(07:45):
Dayla Monroe. You got a rotational piece on the defensive
line that Roley mills By some wide receiver death Tory
Horton got a start in full back for Robbie House
possible with guard death Roll Bradce Campbell Dear got a
number three running back and Damien Martineers who could move
(08:07):
up the roster, the tackle of Mason Richmond who could
make the roster, and a wide receivering special teams player
Ricky White the third who could make the roster. It's
overall solid. Drafted me next for the Arizona Cardinals. I
gave him a B. He started off in the first
(08:27):
round taking defensive tackle Walton Nolan out an old mess
that was about the right fit form. They had him
going between eleven thirty two, so sixteam is pretty good
value for him. Please move a pass rush defensive tackle.
You can also stop to run. It's an athletic player
can play inside or outside. The best position might be inside,
(08:51):
but in this system he could possibly be at defensive end.
I believe they played at three to four. I said, Hi,
I MODI player just needed to clean up some technique issue.
You continue to just improve as a Russian. But I
don't believe he'll be a starter from the beginning because
they don't need him to be. But I believe he'll
definitely be in a rotation, especially on third downs, until
(09:13):
he can start. Then in the second round they got
cornerback Will Johnson out of Michigan. He's a player I
really like say. He was originally getting patricks certained from parisons,
but he had a bad shown at the scouting combine,
shown with short arms and not as fast as expected,
even though he's not really a blazer anyway, but it
(09:35):
would have helped, so he fell to the second round.
I still believe it's good value for him. I still
had the first round bread on him. He's a physical
player who they believe but also play safety because our
physical is But I see him as a number two
corner the number one potential. Definitely got to can cover
physical or bigger wide receivers. They already be in the
(09:58):
mix for a starting position coming in that they do
need help in the secondary. Then in the third round,
they selected edge rusher Jordan Birch out of Oregon. He's
a player that spent three years playing for South Carolina,
but he's improving past Russia. More for that guy than
a power guy. Hee had good size. He can play
(10:19):
defensive end or outside linebacker when he a stand up
or handing the dirt. Versatility. He's a high motive player
and a good tackler with good run stopping ability. So
it's a high level special teams player. So I believe
he has them three down potential, but he just lacks
top speed. Need to continue to improve his past rush moves,
(10:40):
past rush technique, but they're pretty low there on d line.
So I think let's say he has played to give
him versatility off the ball as well, so he can
definitely get some time on special teams as he continue
to develop. And in the fourth round, he want a
linebacker Simon out of Ohio State. He's a physical middle
(11:01):
linebacker with good run stopping skills. It's only a one
year starter. He has good coverage, he's an improving past rusher.
He just lacks top speed and he has short arms
and needs to improve his technique overall, but he does
have started potential as a run stopping middle linebacker's ability
(11:22):
to cover tight ends as well, so they provide death.
But now then in the fifth round they were corner
back Denzel Bert out of Ohio State. He's a four
year starter. He started as a freshman Ohio State head
A lap a little earlier probably would have went a
little higher, but he did kind of get exposed last
year at times, even though he didn't really stay out
(11:46):
a lotup for too long because of his talent. But
it is good speed, it's a physical player to get
you inside outside versatility. Also the special team's experience. But
they just need to contain improve as a way. Stopped
taking so many breasts, basically cleaning up the penalties. I
think it was technique. Let's say he did kind of
(12:07):
get exposed last season, but I said, what position the
need any very talented player. I think he could at
least earn his spot, try to work as way at
the depth shot. Then in the sixth round they will
with guard Hayden Connor out of Texas. He played left guard.
He has good size, strength, past blocking, good awareness for
(12:31):
the position. He just lacks athleticism for speed and you
need to continue to improve his technique. He'll be a
players trying to earn a spot, so I'm not sure
he'll still be around then. Last in the seventh round,
they chose safety kits and Crossford out of Nevada. He's
(12:53):
a five year player for four years at Texas, but
he has limited starting experience. He's very experienced on special teams.
He impressed at the combine with the speed and physicality.
It could be more of a movie piece in the secondary,
but he lacks our deal. Limp needs to improve his
technique facing the team develop overall. So he's another player
(13:16):
that could be fighting for Rols the spot as well,
but it seems more likely he might make it as
well as a special team. It's a good draft there.
Gave it a beat like to walk to no Olympics.
It gives him a potential starting defensive tackle with defensive
end and on that system get a starting cornerback and
Will Johnson, I said gave number one potential depth of
(13:40):
number two besides for the position. Got an edge rusher
and Jordan Birch give you good death at defensive end
outside linebacker. Another rusher to the mix, got linebacker Cody Simon.
He provides that, but he gives him starting middle linebacker
potential cornerback Denzel Bert provide death in the secondary. I'm
(14:03):
also contributed on special teams. I say Connor from Crawford
probably had to earn their spots. But Connor said backup guard.
Maybe from Crawford said more of a special teamer and
move the secondary piece next. For the Los Angeles Rams,
I gave him a C. I probably would have gave
(14:24):
him a C minors, but they did trade down out
of the first round. Was a smart move. Basically moved
him up to a seed for me. They started off
in the second round with tight end Terrence Ferguson out
of Oregon. You're a big pass catching tight end, good quickness,
basically had a high volume of short catches. So when
(14:47):
I watched him, I wasn't too impressed. He's more of
a I said, they go to target. I don't see
him being one of those top level tight ends in
the league. I see him more in the mid level.
But he needs to continue to improve as a blocker
and show more physicality as a blocker. I believe he does.
(15:07):
Say of starting potential, I see him more of a
to a mid level tight end, but he gives him
a number two tight end for now my opinion, possibly
number three. Then in the third round, they went with
edge rusher Josiah Stewart out of Michigan. He's a four
year productive of edge russer with two years of Coastal
(15:27):
Carolina where he was productive as well. He lacks ideal
size and left. He's a tough player with good speed, leverage,
the strength. He just need to containe to improve his
past rush moves and avoid and big alignment because of
the size. He's a player that people thought Hardball would
(15:47):
take just because of that physicality and that toughness. He
has good leadership, but the Rams pounced on him instead.
A solid player there. In the fourth round, he took
run back Quas Hunter out of All Burn. He a tough, undersized,
dual threat running back who loves contact. He's experienced kick returner.
(16:11):
He just lacks ideal size and speed. Needs to improve
as a blogger, but he does get three down back potential.
He probably best is the number two back. Just basically
a change your pace to kind of fit the mold
of what they have the smaller power backs. In the
fifth round, they took defensive tackle Tyre Hamilton out of
(16:34):
Ohio State. He's undersized, run stopping defensive tackle with good footwork,
plays with good leverage and quickness. He just lacks ideal
size and all left needs to add some weight to
his frame. Varcantinea to improve as a pass Russian, so
he's more of a developmental defensive tackle. We will possibly
(16:56):
give you some value into rotation, but they'll just provide death.
But now anyway, With linebacker who Paul Jr. Out of
Old Miss, he spent three years at Arkansas. He's a
solid tackler. He's more of a do it all linebacker.
He's good outside inside versatility with good covered skills versus
(17:19):
running backs and tight ends. But he just lacks ideal
size and left. He's more quick than fast, but he
needs to continue to improve his awareness. I believe he
will be more of a special teams player who can
provide a good depth, possibly jumping to the rotation if needed.
(17:39):
Last in the seventh round with wide receiver could not
a month field out of pit. He spent one year Actron.
He's an athletic, strong roight receiver, good physicality, good run
after the catch ability. He's las top speed, lacks ideal size. Well,
I need to improve his round running. But going to
(18:02):
the seventh round, he's gonna need to earn his spot,
so it's not guaranteed he makes the roster, even though
with limited picks he possibly feel I said, I gave
it a CE, say more of a C minus draft
smart move trading down, so they gotta start and tight
end potentially and Terns Ferguson got an edge rush of
(18:23):
the add to the mix. Just Sorry Stewart running back
more than mold type and Joe Quays Hunter. He'll be
the number three I needed to start. Got defensive tackle
in Ty Hamilton who helped stop the run early. They
continue to add on his past rush. He need some
help there. I say he's just to death play at
this point. Possibly rotation. Got a linebacker and Paul Jr.
(18:47):
Who should be able to help on special teams. Depit
the position outside and inside versatility. He took a while
receiver in Mothfield, the playmaker I said, may need to
earn his spot going late in the seventh rown. It
could have been better, especially for a team that people
got high hopes for. It would have been nice to
(19:08):
even keep their first round pick. That's a smart move
to move down. I would like to see more impact
players plans for the San Francisco forty nine ers. I
gave him a C. He can kind of argue could
be a C plus, but I'm gonna give it a C.
He started off with a pick. I actually got right
with edge Russier Mike Hail Williams with Georgia. I just
(19:31):
felt like he was more that pick. NI could replaced
Drake Greenlaw, who he lost as a physical player. He
more so like his athletic bill and his physical play.
They believe the injuries kind of held him back, so
his production wasn't as high. I'm not as big on
Mike hal Williams personally, but it seemed like he could
possibly be taking that Leonard Floyd role as an edge
(19:55):
Russier opposite of Bosa instead of the green Love world
that I envisioned. He's basically a strong pass rusher who
can also stop the run. It's a high mode player.
Say good athleticism, you know NFL sized the NFL bill
his need to containue to prove his technique, had some
(20:16):
pass rush moves, let's say solid pick up there much
needed with the losses they had, and in the second
round they went with defensive tackle Alfrad Collins out of Texas.
He's one of those mammoth defensive tackles who can definitely
stop the run, but he does have good pass rush
potential and good strength with special teams experience, he was
(20:41):
basically limited starter as he played behind Byron Murphy and
Tavandre Sweat, both in the first round the Seahawks and
Titans prior years. But Collins he looked like he's going
to be a start out at the gate with the losses,
so he definitely give you two down potential for possibly
being at three down potentials starter. Then in the third
(21:02):
round it with a linebacker Nick Martin out of Oklahoma State.
He's an undersized sideline and sideline linebacker, but he's very physical.
He's a good run stopper and experienced special teams player.
He needs to continue to prove his awareness and his
coverage skills by adding stripped to his frame. They kind
(21:23):
of considered him to be overdrafted. Because he's coming off
a knee injury, but he basically had a big twenty
twenty three season, one of the top tacklers in college
with one hundred and forty tackles. But he can play
on special teams as he continued to develop, but I
believe he does give him started potential eventually. Thanks They
(21:44):
went with cornerback up In Stout out of Western Kentucky.
He's a five year college player, physical, undersized corner played
two years in North Texas. It's good athleticism, good acceleration,
but he fits best in the nickel. He is an
experienced punt returner, but he needs to improve his awareness
and clean up his technique to cut down penalties. He's
(22:07):
another player that they believed that they overdrafted, but he
should be able to contribute. It's both a punt returner
and give death in the secondary. In the fourth round,
they went with defensive tackle CJ. West out of Indiana.
He's a five year college player with four years at
(22:28):
Kent State, four years as a starter. He's a high
model run stop plays with good quickness. Needs to continue
to improve his pass rush moves and clean up his technique,
but he does have three down play a potential, but
for now he'll be in a rotation. I believe on
(22:48):
passing downs to kind of offset Collins. So I believe
Collins will play the first two downs and then they
rotate west On and for the past rush downs because
he's a little quicker. Unless Colin just proved to be
that guy TO said he could be, then he chose
wide receiver Jordan Watkins had an old miss. He's a
(23:11):
five year player for two years at Louisville. He's a
quick rode receiver. Fit's best in the slot, but he
does give inside and outside versatility. He's a physical player
that's more like a possession wide receiver, but he is
good after the catch, and he does have return experience,
being a very good part returner. But he just needs
(23:35):
to improve his route running and it's catching ability. Overall.
He's another player that considered to be overdrafted, but I
think he's a guy that could provide a good depth
give him at least special teams value. Then in the
fifth round he went running back Jordan James out of Oregon.
(23:56):
He's an undersized dual threat back, good quickness, good after catch,
he needs to improve his awareness, show a little bit
more patience. He lacks ideal acceleration and shiftiness, change and
pace third down back potential, but he'll provide depth now anyone.
(24:16):
With safety mar Quest Single out of Kansas State. He's
an undersized safety, five year player with three in North
Dakota State. He's a physical player, good run style for
more of a movable piece that they believe will possibly
plays nickel corner. It needs to improve his awareness, clean
up to coverage issues. But here's another special teams player,
(24:40):
will Ye good depth in the secondary. Then in the
seventh round. Then with quarterback Curtis Rookie out of Indiana.
He is a six year college player with five in Ohio.
Played with ACL last year, so he comes with Andrew concerns.
He's a tough player with good leadership up, good size,
(25:01):
the big arm. He just needs to improve his accuracy,
clean up his technique. So I think he could be
a good backup quarterback. I don't know if he really
has started potential, but definitely number three the number two quarterback,
so not bad as a developmental piece. Then they with
a guard Connor Kobe out of Iowa. He's a strong
(25:22):
four year starter, mostly played card but he does have
experience the right tackle, it's good size for the position.
He's good run blogger. He needs to improve his past
blocker overall footwork and technique wise, so he don't need
to earn his spot if he does. He's more developmental anyway,
(25:43):
but he's at the back end of the roster for now.
Last steak with wide receiver Junior Bergen out of Montana.
He's an undersized athlete that we use that running back
wide receiver keep returning in return, but he just likes
the ideal size speeding strepp and he didn't really have
good production, but he could be more of a gadgy guy,
(26:06):
definitely guarded spy as a returner. With so many other
players drafted with pup return skills, I'm not sure he
hearn that, but we'll see what they decided to do
with them. So I said, I gave you a C.
Forty nine has always seen to have weird drafts like this.
It's not really top level productive players, you know. I
do like them. Starting off with the age rushing Mikail
(26:26):
Williams says, give him some good value off the age
pars replacing Lennard Floyd to secondary age Russian you gotta
start in defensive tackle health for Collins should be a
help replace some losses there, especially in the run stock
in the department. He's got a backup linebacker and Nick Martin,
who started potential on the outside, were possibly the thumper inside,
(26:52):
got some depth a corner. We're up and stout. He's
a smaller guy who gives you vertill in the nickel.
With the Nikel quarterback moving to the number one, you
got another defensive tackle c J. West who could possibly
be a starter, definitely give you some third down potential,
rotational to even be a rotational player. Some more wide
(27:15):
receiver death with Jordan Watkins say, not really a start
of potential for another guy be in a mix. Jordan
James is definitely running back, which always seen this to
get hit with injuries, so never heard us they have
another player there. We've seen them go all the way
down to the depth chart last season. Seagules should be
a special teams player by some definitely secondary in need.
(27:39):
The Curtis Wok should be a backup quarterback for them
to develop behind Perry another chief Ops and Steven around them.
I believe Coleby and virgin we have to earn that spots,
so I'm not really sure that even make the roster.
I said they've got some players that can help, but
I would like to see a lot more, especially with
the loss of Day the head off season. Thanks for
(28:03):
tuning in, appreciate the support before they gave you the
AFC West Real soon
