Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, fundamentals and techniques, that's the key. Right sixty minutes,
right sixty minutes. I would like to welcome you.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
What's talking on censor NFL Audition NFL Draft Sleepers twenty
twenty five. If you didn't get the tune in last time.
Last time, I had my little cousin with me, Slick Nick.
Slick Nick. Gave you three good sleepers and number one
Bucky Irvin. I retuim as props for calling him a
(00:47):
three down back. Bucky Irvin definitely took over the starting
job in Tampa Bay as a three down back workforce.
You know, he already had to receive his skills, but
they just couldn't keep him off the field at all all.
So gave you Mike sandersil as he called him, Big Mike,
and Big Mike showed up. You know, I thought he
was limited more so it's a nickel corner do to
(01:10):
this size. But everybody knew he could play coming out
of Michigan. But for the Commanders, he stepped up into
a starting role and move him from the nickel on
in two the outside role where they much needed him
so solid played by Mike Sanderson with the Commanders slick
Nick gave you Xavier Leggett, wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers.
(01:33):
He did a good job as a number two wide receiver.
I said, I knew he wasn't really a number one type.
I had him more so there as my mocking at
Kansas City. You know Lake first. We ended up going
to the Panthers, but overall, solid job, you know for
a rookie. Definitely put up some yardage there. Make a
connection with Bryce, so he continued to grow during the season.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So solid three by slick Nick. There.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
My sleeper still seemed to be a little sleep there,
but at least they still on the team. But my
top three, I gave you number one, Cam Kitchens, So
I thought Cam Kitchens was a better corner back and
safety coming out of Miami, especially being a little smaller,
but the covered skills was definitely there. He had a
(02:16):
nice four interception season, starting every game for the Rams
this year, So solid season by him. Then number two
I know this linebacker Chris Brasswell out of Alabama. We
ended up going to Tampa Bay. He ended up starting
later in the season. We'll getting a few starts later
in the season due to injury and of course he'll
be taking on the starting role as they'll possibly lose
(02:38):
linebackers in the off season. But he struggled to get
some pass rush and he definitely stepped up into a
roll and he didn't really see as much production as
a pass rusher. Definitely got some experience on the field,
so I'm looking for big things and brass well going forward.
Then number three guin wide receiver Troy Franklin out of Oregon.
We ended up going to the Broncos planking up with
(02:59):
both Knicks. It was the best scenario for him as
they had the connection in college, but they didn't really
work on the field. But he still came in as
a downfield direct when they needed a threatened teams that
they might throw a downfield or actually throw a downfield.
So a lot of inconsistency, you know, in his rookie year,
but definitely looking for a bigger role, especially if they
need playmakers to step up in that system. And I
(03:21):
say he already had some connection before Knicks. I said,
a little sleep on my end the job, slick Nick,
But you know, I'm hoping they do better this year.
So I'm gonna give you seven on the east side
of the ball, seven offense, seven defense, number one on offense.
I want running back Caleb Johnson out of Ayouwa. A
(03:42):
lot of people know Ashton gen T already, but they
like who was the number two running back? In my opinion,
running back, we have that Jared Gibbs type. You know
how to he sneak in the first round, and who
was he type effect will be Caleb Johnson. I said,
the allyue, they basically expected them to run above every play.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
He didn't have the best of quarterback play.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
They a team that liked to run, play defense simply
so they knew that he was getting the ball. But
he's still every six point four yards per carry, a
twenty one touchdowns. I said, good size to six foot two,
twenty five And basically Johnson stood out to me when
I watched the Iowa versus Iowa State game rivalry game,
and they did end up losing that game, but he
(04:22):
did a good job running for two hundred, no problem
leading away and he couldn't be stopped. But the quarterback
play came back to bite him. So Caleb Johnson's a prospect.
I really liked going late first, early second. A lot
of people don't really know yet the number two going
with quarterback Kylevi McCord out of Syracuse. A lot of
people kind of claim him now, you know, he's basically
(04:44):
there Spencer Ratler like I had last year, basically that
later guy that could build run into a starting job.
But I don't really see Kylevin McCord as a starter.
I mean he could be, like he said, that backup
like Ratler was, but I don't think he really want
to push him into the fire this year, don't. Hey,
you never know, could be ready. But mc quarters like
just tad under sixty three even though they list him
(05:06):
at sixty three in about two ten, two fifteen, so
he might need to put on some muscle. But the
overall accurate players and not the biggest arm. He played
at Ohio State NFL. The young fairly got a lot
of the blame, you know, just like most Ohio State quarterbacks,
not being able to be Michigan, you know, just coming
up less in a big games. So he ended up
(05:27):
at Syracuse more for ni own money. But he did
a good job being the leader there. So it's still
showing that same accuracy some colm re quarters and quarterback
I like that.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You can probably get like the.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Late second maybe early third round and possibly just be
the number two quarterback and a nice developmental prospect behind
a good start. He's shown if he has the weapons,
he gets districted the ball and number three running back
Ali Gordon out of Overlahoma State. If you listen to
the college segment, you know I talked about him a lot.
(05:58):
He's basic work coorseback whom the state who would be
the left Last year he had to ask and genty
effect the first round back. But last year subpark quarterback
player injuries. He had a pretty good office line, so
it was weird he just didn't put up the same production.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
But he is a nice dual threat.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I mean, it's funny that he said that he wanted
to go to the Steelers and see itself there. But
I could see him as like a Najie Harris KMP.
You know, he's six one two thirty three, so so
he can do a little bit of everything. You know,
catch the ball a little better, but he might not
be a run as well. But you put him behind
the right old line, sure he can do his thing.
So look for go ahead and be a workhorse back
(06:39):
to somebody that you can probably get him third round,
fourth round, depending with teams think about him.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Even though he is rebuilding his value in the senior boat.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
But solid running back there in my opinion, I mean
this is an overall solid running back plass. I mean,
whatever you're looking for, it to have all different types.
So I'm just gonna highlight these feel anyway, Duncan Caleb
jon and then mentioned it Ali Gordon. So next, I
got a running back Travon Henderson out of Ohio State.
You know his name is catching a lot of steam.
(07:09):
If you go to the old college segment, you'll hear
my whole counterpart Mike well here mentioned you know how
much he loved Trevon Henderson. I mean he's just electric
speed at seven point one yards per carry, two thousand
yard season, four year starter. But the problem is the
injuries with him standing out of the lineup all the time.
But to electric find him a player to miss out on.
(07:31):
See a lot of Cowboys fans plotting on him in
the second round. They mess out on gent that'd be
a nice fit. So look for Henderson to go in
that second round, probably early second round.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Said just exposive player, but you.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Might want to pay him with a bigger back or
somebody take the way and tail, I said, kind of
mind you like an early saved pon, but I think
you'll get a lot of exposive plays out him. George
got watched for the injury and not putting too much
weight and tail on them.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Solid player.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Number five going wide receiver Savior Streppo out of Miami.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
He's a smaller player, but one of those tough guys.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Mind you, kind of like a Latin Conkie like I
can see him having that more effect on the team.
You put him in the slot and let him do
his thing. But back to back thousand yards almost eleven
hundred yards really both seasons. Been with Miami for five years,
very experienced said. Overall tough guy, building his value even
more at the Senior Bowl. But Xavier Strepo is a
(08:31):
player I can see going to like the late second
third round.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Maybe because I said people wapping him these players like.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Ricky Piersoll and them last draft draft him a little earlier,
so might even mid second. But overall solid slot wide
receiver and Xavier Restrepo somebody gonna definitely get a gym there.
And number six with another wide receiver, he look Ale
manor out of Stanford. Ayo Manor, I mean he really
put his name on the map. He looked at him
(08:57):
in that game against Colorado, had two hundred plus yards,
just unstoppable in that game. Despike Travis Hunter being on him.
Just the overall solid player freshman red shirt season, more
so than his sophomore red shirt season last season, but
still solid player.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I mean he was more than go to guy this year.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Never really had good quarterback play either year, and I
think being in the league they might get the best
out of it because he was being number one in Stanford,
like I said, a four quarterback play. But in the
league he'll get better quarterback play, and I think he'll
possibly be a number two or even slot wide receiver
to take advantage of them speed mismatches. But he's still young,
(09:36):
continue to get better, so I think it's best football ahead.
I'm as I said, And somebody gonna get a special
wide receiver there. Max All mentioned him more towards the
end of the first early second. I can see him
getting them. I said second round in general, just because
he's a solid play maker and that run on wide
receivers gonna come around the time. Who definitely ain't even
(09:58):
look for in my an offensive player going with Harold
Fanning Jr. Tight end out of Bowling Green, basically Fanning.
I think he has potential to be a big play
pass catching tight end. I mean, I don't want to
say brock Vowels, but he had one hundred and seventeen
catches this season, and he also stood out to me
(10:18):
when I was watching Bowling Green versus Penn State, it
looked like Bowling Green might pull off the upset that game,
until depends they defense stepped up in the second half.
Run game proven to be too much. But erld Fann
is just a constant go to weapon for them. Not
really the fastest tight end, but he seemed to run
a lot of slants to get open and just seem
to know how to get open with good hands. And
(10:39):
he's already shown that he can handle the value. So
about sixty three, around two thirty, you know, he did
show up at the Singer Balls around.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Two thirty eight. It's a lot better.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So I think you get around two forty two forty five,
it'll really be a playmaker. He's a willing blocker at
this size and he can block, but you know, the
size is always concerned that you're going to be as
big a talent. He held his own against Penn State issues.
So just looking forward seeing what they can do at
the next level. I think you can possibly get him
third round, maybe be late second, somebody pounce on him.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
There's a lot of playmakers in the draft on the
defensive side.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I mean, it's kind of hard to call his players
sleeping now, but I had this more like a month ago.
I got Jack Sawyer defensive end Ohio State. I mean,
he's more known now after winning the championship being that
league guy, but I think in the league he's more
like a number two pass rusher next to the guy.
So that's why he'll go late first, early second. But
(11:37):
say he's a player that got better each year. Four
year starter at Ohio State with nine sacks this season. Tough,
solid player, play tough through the playoffs, going to the championship.
It's a well known player now, but one of my
sleepers say look for late first, early second. Somebody snatched
him up in the contribute for the next ten years
(11:57):
in my opinion, another player and number two. It's catching
team sliding back at Jehard Campbell out of Alabama He's
another player that went from late second round at the now,
I've seen him as high as the Cowboys in the
first round, but he'll go somewhere in the first round.
Definitely his point what mid first, I should say. And
(12:20):
Jeehard Campbell just a player that they noticed on film
was just all around the ball, but it's forcing fumbles,
stopping to run, rushing off.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
The edge, and do everything.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Basically jack of all trades for another solid possible middle
linebacker come out of Alabama looking to lead the defense
at the NFL level. I'm looking forward to see what
he can do. And number three, another player then move
from the second round to possibly even mid first. Similarly,
it's Mike Green out of Marshall. This is about six four,
(12:51):
two fifty. He played one year in Virginia for transferring
to Marshall. He's coming off a seventeen SAX season. But
it was more so Scout's wonder, you know, was it
just a Marshall thing? Was he just you know, the
best out on that team. But he's proven that he
can do it, whether his hand in the dirt or
standing up because the game as a linebacker, but end
(13:11):
up playing.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Defensive end for them.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
But His big highlight now is at the Senior Bowl
running through George Connelly Jr. Offensive tackle from Oregon, who
was looking like a first round pick, the early second
round pick, and he just floated through him, and basically
highlight through the Senior Bowl allowed him to be that guy. Now,
Scout's got the O on. It's what I think. He'll
definitely go first round now. But Mike Green is a
(13:36):
solid player and keep your eye on as an edge
rusher and number four cornerback. Romelo Dodson out of Kansas.
He a four year started, five year player. He was
very experienced, around six foot one ninety more of a
lanky player, more on the skinnier side. Definitely use some
pounds on his frame. Eleven interceptions throughout his career, abillity
(13:58):
to play in a man in his own more than
number one, number two corner there just based on experience.
But I think in the league he'll fit better in
the nickel and possibly moving outside. But I think he
does his number two potential, you know, number two, number
three tight corner, definitely number three. So I looked for
Dodson to get picked up in the late second round,
possibly the early third. It's a nice steal. It's a
(14:20):
nice lanky corner throwing to the mix. Good coverage skills,
will and tackler. I said, just need to add some
strength to that frame, just clean them. Some technical issues,
but solid player in my opinion. Number five want my linebacker.
Edge rusher Donovan azi Iroku out of Boston College, turned
off for sixteen and a half SAX season playing under
(14:42):
that Bill O'Brien's staff, you know, basically bringing in the
Patriots mentality in the Patriots style. He was their main
edge russier and you couldn't really miss him. High MOTI player.
I basically noticed him when they played Florida State University
and he just was a problem off the edge of
two sacks, so I already knew he was the problem him.
But at six two two thirty seven, he's a little undersized.
(15:03):
I don't know it was no kaiper, but somebody compared
them to Dwight Freeny just with that twitch off the edge.
But definitely a special player there. I think you find
a place for him the edge. I like them more
than three four. He won't take on as many blockers
of the size I said, you get them up to
two forty two forty five. If you go up, I
think overall it is a solid pass rusher there. I
(15:25):
think I like him better though as your number two guy,
but he does have number one potential. I think once
he gets started, I said, playing that Patriot system definitely
opens up to play in a lot of NFL defenses
play the same style, so I think you'll be ready
in other players. If you're on the right team, We'll
see where you end up going. But I think you
can get them second round. I was leaving early third.
(15:46):
People sleep on him because of the size in the
one year of production, well one year of big production
and number six, Well the linebacker Deontay Laarson out of Alabama.
You're nice three down sideline and sideline lineback around sixty
two forty. I believe he could play that dumper role
in the three four or just even being a straight
(16:07):
up four to three middle linebacker. He loved to stick
his nose in the run game, so nice run stot
for there. Like to say, dude, like going for the
spectacle of hit, and you'll see that in his highlights.
But I mean it's good anticipation to me. But I
really like his aggressiveness. Say a high motive player. He
did suffer injuries, you know, with that aggressive style, but
(16:27):
so I'm looking forward to see what he can do
in the league. Very coachable player coming from underneath, saving
originally and still having a good season without him.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Last at number seven, I went with TJ.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Sanders, defensive end, defensive tackle out of South Carolina. Sanders
is about six five two ninety three hundred, but it
has a high moder very strong player, pulls.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
At the signs.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
He has eight and a half sacks the last two seasons,
so he's growing as a pass rusher, I mean four
and a half this year, but very good run stop.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I love that strength. So I just believe you could
play in the three four or the four to.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Three, so anywhere along the line, that's the three fourth
defensive lineman where you can use that size, you know,
to stop to run in the past, but even as
a four to three, you line him up next to
somebody like in South Carolina, he's just dangerous there where
you can even hold on the double teams or push
through himself, depending which role you wanted to play. So
(17:25):
whatever technique and he can place to play defensive tackle.
But I think you know you would want him close
to to the three hundred. If he does go inside
but two ninety at defensive end, two ninety eight to
ninety five.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Wherever he is at three four defensive ent it be perfect.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
So he's a guy that could sneak into the late
first round, possibly even early I ain't gonna say possibly,
but early second round.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
So look out for TJ. Sanders as well. But that's
some of my sleepers.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Feeling pretty good about this list, looking forward to give
you more sports needs.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Thanks tuning the thanks for the sport
Hey, fundamentals and techniques, that's the key. Right sixty minutes,
right sixty minutes. I would like to welcome you.
Speaker 2 (00:27):

a starting role and move him from the nickel on

so solid played by Mike Sanderson with the Commanders slick

(03:21):
say he already had some connection before Knicks. I said,
a little sleep on my end the job, slick Nick,
But you know, I'm hoping they do better this year.
So I'm gonna give you seven on the east side

I want running back Caleb Johnson out of Ayouwa. A

Speaker 2 (04:01):
They a team that liked to run, play defense simply
so they knew that he was getting the ball. But
he's still every six point four yards per carry, a
twenty one touchdowns. I said, good size to six foot two,
twenty five And basically Johnson stood out to me when
I watched the Iowa versus Iowa State game rivalry game,
and they did end up losing that game, but he
(04:22):
did a good job running for two hundred, no problem

showing that same accuracy some colm re quarters and quarterback
I like that.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
You can probably get like the.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Late second maybe early third round and possibly just be
the number two quarterback and a nice developmental prospect behind
a good start. He's shown if he has the weapons,
he gets districted the ball and number three running back
Ali Gordon out of Overlahoma State. If you listen to
the college segment, you know I talked about him a lot.
(05:58):
He's basic work coorseback whom the state who would be

effect the first round back. But last year subpark quarterback
player injuries. He had a pretty good office line, so
it was weird he just didn't put up the same production.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
But he is a nice dual threat.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I mean, it's funny that he said that he wanted
to go to the Steelers and see itself there. But
I could see him as like a Najie Harris KMP.
You know, he's six one two thirty three, so so
he can do a little bit of everything. You know,
catch the ball a little better, but he might not
be a run as well. But you put him behind
the right old line, sure he can do his thing.
So look for go ahead and be a workhorse back
(06:39):
to somebody that you can probably get him third round,
fourth round, depending with teams think about him.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Even though he is rebuilding his value in the senior boat.

this is an overall solid running back plass. I mean,

So I'm just gonna highlight these feel anyway, Duncan Caleb

got a running back Travon Henderson out of Ohio State.
You know his name is catching a lot of steam.

If you go to the old college segment, you'll hear

much he loved Trevon Henderson. I mean he's just electric

injuries with him standing out of the lineup all the time.
But to electric find him a player to miss out on.
(07:31):
See a lot of Cowboys fans plotting on him in
the second round. They mess out on gent that'd be
a nice fit. So look for Henderson to go in
that second round, probably early second round.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Said just exposive player, but you.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Might want to pay him with a bigger back or
somebody take the way and tail, I said, kind of
mind you like an early saved pon, but I think
you'll get a lot of exposive plays out him. George
got watched for the injury and not putting too much
weight and tail on them.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Solid player.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Number five going wide receiver Savior Streppo out of Miami.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
He's a smaller player, but one of those tough guys.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Mind you, kind of like a Latin Conkie like I
can see him having that more effect on the team.
You put him in the slot and let him do
his thing. But back to back thousand yards almost eleven
hundred yards really both seasons. Been with Miami for five years,
very experienced said. Overall tough guy, building his value even
more at the Senior Bowl. But Xavier Strepo is a
(08:31):
player I can see going to like the late second
third round.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Maybe because I said people wapping him these players like.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Ricky Piersoll and them last draft draft him a little earlier,
so might even mid second. But overall solid slot wide
receiver and Xavier Restrepo somebody gonna definitely get a gym there.
And number six with another wide receiver, he look Ale
manor out of Stanford. Ayo Manor, I mean he really
put his name on the map. He looked at him
(08:57):
in that game against Colorado, had two hundred plus yards,
just unstoppable in that game. Despike Travis Hunter being on him.
Just the overall solid player freshman red shirt season, more
so than his sophomore red shirt season last season, but
still solid player.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I mean he was more than go to guy this year.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Never really had good quarterback play either year, and I
think being in the league they might get the best
out of it because he was being number one in Stanford,
like I said, a four quarterback play. But in the
league he'll get better quarterback play, and I think he'll
possibly be a number two or even slot wide receiver
to take advantage of them speed mismatches. But he's still young,
(09:36):
continue to get better, so I think it's best football ahead.
I'm as I said, And somebody gonna get a special
wide receiver there. Max All mentioned him more towards the
end of the first early second. I can see him
getting them. I said second round in general, just because
he's a solid play maker and that run on wide
receivers gonna come around the time. Who definitely ain't even
(09:58):
look for in my an offensive player going with Harold
Fanning Jr. Tight end out of Bowling Green, basically Fanning.
I think he has potential to be a big play
pass catching tight end. I mean, I don't want to
say brock Vowels, but he had one hundred and seventeen
catches this season, and he also stood out to me
(10:18):
when I was watching Bowling Green versus Penn State, it
looked like Bowling Green might pull off the upset that game,
until depends they defense stepped up in the second half.
Run game proven to be too much. But erld Fann
is just a constant go to weapon for them. Not
really the fastest tight end, but he seemed to run
a lot of slants to get open and just seem
to know how to get open with good hands. And
(10:39):
he's already shown that he can handle the value. So
about sixty three, around two thirty, you know, he did
show up at the Singer Balls around.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Two thirty eight. It's a lot better.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
So I think you get around two forty two forty five,
it'll really be a playmaker. He's a willing blocker at
this size and he can block, but you know, the
size is always concerned that you're going to be as
big a talent. He held his own against Penn State issues.
So just looking forward seeing what they can do at
the next level. I think you can possibly get him
third round, maybe be late second, somebody pounce on him.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
There's a lot of playmakers in the draft on the
defensive side.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I mean, it's kind of hard to call his players
sleeping now, but I had this more like a month ago.
I got Jack Sawyer defensive end Ohio State. I mean,
he's more known now after winning the championship being that
league guy, but I think in the league he's more
like a number two pass rusher next to the guy.
So that's why he'll go late first, early second. But
(11:37):
say he's a player that got better each year. Four
year starter at Ohio State with nine sacks this season. Tough,
solid player, play tough through the playoffs, going to the championship.
It's a well known player now, but one of my
sleepers say look for late first, early second. Somebody snatched
him up in the contribute for the next ten years
(11:57):
in my opinion, another player and number two. It's catching
team sliding back at Jehard Campbell out of Alabama He's
another player that went from late second round at the now,
I've seen him as high as the Cowboys in the
first round, but he'll go somewhere in the first round.
Definitely his point what mid first, I should say. And
(12:20):
Jeehard Campbell just a player that they noticed on film
was just all around the ball, but it's forcing fumbles,
stopping to run, rushing off.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
The edge, and do everything.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Basically jack of all trades for another solid possible middle
linebacker come out of Alabama looking to lead the defense
at the NFL level. I'm looking forward to see what
he can do. And number three, another player then move
from the second round to possibly even mid first. Similarly,
it's Mike Green out of Marshall. This is about six four,
(12:51):
two fifty. He played one year in Virginia for transferring
to Marshall. He's coming off a seventeen SAX season. But
it was more so Scout's wonder, you know, was it
just a Marshall thing? Was he just you know, the
best out on that team. But he's proven that he
can do it, whether his hand in the dirt or
standing up because the game as a linebacker, but end
(13:11):
up playing.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Defensive end for them.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
But His big highlight now is at the Senior Bowl
running through George Connelly Jr. Offensive tackle from Oregon, who
was looking like a first round pick, the early second
round pick, and he just floated through him, and basically
highlight through the Senior Bowl allowed him to be that guy. Now,
Scout's got the O on. It's what I think. He'll
definitely go first round now. But Mike Green is a
(13:36):
solid player and keep your eye on as an edge
rusher and number four cornerback. Romelo Dodson out of Kansas.
He a four year started, five year player. He was
very experienced, around six foot one ninety more of a
lanky player, more on the skinnier side. Definitely use some
pounds on his frame. Eleven interceptions throughout his career, abillity
(13:58):
to play in a man in his own more than
number one, number two corner there just based on experience.
But I think in the league he'll fit better in
the nickel and possibly moving outside. But I think he
does his number two potential, you know, number two, number
three tight corner, definitely number three. So I looked for
Dodson to get picked up in the late second round,
possibly the early third. It's a nice steal. It's a
(14:20):
nice lanky corner throwing to the mix. Good coverage skills,
will and tackler. I said, just need to add some
strength to that frame, just clean them. Some technical issues,
but solid player in my opinion. Number five want my linebacker.
Edge rusher Donovan azi Iroku out of Boston College, turned
off for sixteen and a half SAX season playing under
(14:42):
that Bill O'Brien's staff, you know, basically bringing in the
Patriots mentality in the Patriots style. He was their main
edge russier and you couldn't really miss him. High MOTI player.
I basically noticed him when they played Florida State University
and he just was a problem off the edge of
two sacks, so I already knew he was the problem him.
But at six two two thirty seven, he's a little undersized.
(15:03):
I don't know it was no kaiper, but somebody compared
them to Dwight Freeny just with that twitch off the edge.
But definitely a special player there. I think you find
a place for him the edge. I like them more
than three four. He won't take on as many blockers
of the size I said, you get them up to
two forty two forty five. If you go up, I
think overall it is a solid pass rusher there. I
(15:25):
think I like him better though as your number two guy,
but he does have number one potential. I think once
he gets started, I said, playing that Patriot system definitely
opens up to play in a lot of NFL defenses
play the same style, so I think you'll be ready
in other players. If you're on the right team, We'll
see where you end up going. But I think you
can get them second round. I was leaving early third.
(15:46):
People sleep on him because of the size in the
one year of production, well one year of big production
and number six, Well the linebacker Deontay Laarson out of Alabama.
You're nice three down sideline and sideline lineback around sixty
two forty. I believe he could play that dumper role
in the three four or just even being a straight
(16:07):
up four to three middle linebacker. He loved to stick
his nose in the run game, so nice run stot
for there. Like to say, dude, like going for the
spectacle of hit, and you'll see that in his highlights.
But I mean it's good anticipation to me. But I
really like his aggressiveness. Say a high motive player. He
did suffer injuries, you know, with that aggressive style, but
(16:27):
so I'm looking forward to see what he can do
in the league. Very coachable player coming from underneath, saving
originally and still having a good season without him.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Last at number seven, I went with TJ.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Sanders, defensive end, defensive tackle out of South Carolina. Sanders
is about six five two ninety three hundred, but it
has a high moder very strong player, pulls.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
At the signs.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
He has eight and a half sacks the last two seasons,
so he's growing as a pass rusher, I mean four
and a half this year, but very good run stop.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I love that strength. So I just believe you could
play in the three four or the four to.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Three, so anywhere along the line, that's the three fourth
defensive lineman where you can use that size, you know,
to stop to run in the past, but even as
a four to three, you line him up next to
somebody like in South Carolina, he's just dangerous there where
you can even hold on the double teams or push
through himself, depending which role you wanted to play. So
(17:25):
whatever technique and he can place to play defensive tackle.
But I think you know you would want him close
to to the three hundred. If he does go inside
but two ninety at defensive end, two ninety eight to
ninety five.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Wherever he is at three four defensive ent it be perfect.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
So he's a guy that could sneak into the late
first round, possibly even early I ain't gonna say possibly,
but early second round.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
So look out for TJ. Sanders as well. But that's
some of my sleepers.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Feeling pretty good about this list, looking forward to give
you more sports needs.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Thanks tuning the thanks for the sport
