Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the NFL Draft.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Now back to the Virginia Mason Athletics Center and the
twenty twenty five NFL Draft, and brought to you by
Coors Light, by R and R Foundation specialist the Queen
Anne beer Hall, and by Fox thirteen on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ R FL.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well, good afternoon. Our draft coverage continues here at Sports
Radio ninety three point three e KJR FM. My name
is Chuck pel Jackson Feltz, Jessmin Mcatyre in a cast
of thousands, giving you the NFL Draft coverage. Pick not
necessarily pick by pick anymore, but certainly Seahawks pick by
Seahawks pick. Has been a very busy day number three,
(00:49):
which is usually the slot that I hands select to
do some recapping of stuff and kind of putting the
entire Seahawks picture into focus. But we have so many
things to still solve. We've got three seventh round picks
that are the Seahawks are scheduled to make, and now
a sixth rounder which they picked up in a trade
(01:10):
a little bit earlier this afternoon, and so four more
picks that they are expected to make still might not.
John's already traded three times today, and we have three
names that have been added to the roster, which we
will recap for you in a moment. And so let
me just first tell you this hour that your coverage
of the draft is brought to you by Frostbrewed, Cores, Light,
(01:34):
Choose Chill, also the experts that are in r Foundation
specialists Queen Anne beer Hall and Fox thirteen as well.
And if you are listening in your car, great, but
there are other ways you get the free iHeartRadio app
as well. And so let any ways to take in
this coverage here on a beautiful Saturday in Seattle where
(01:57):
the Seahawks are making beautiful music in the war room.
Right now, here's what's going on. So let me go back.
We gotta do some recapping here we go to take
care of some work because we're always having to update
the score. Right. Gray Zabel was the first round selection
by the Seattle Seahawks all the way back on Thursday eighteenth,
overall out of North Dakota State. And he's supposed to
(02:19):
be wandering the building at some point to hear this afternoon,
so Jesseman will tackle him to put him on our airwaves.
She's done it before. She'll do it again. Scared up
offensive lineman ye Zabel we thought was the best mustache
taken in the draft by the Seahawks, but maybe not anymore.
More on that in the moment. Nick Emon Worri was
the second round selection yesterday, where the Seahawks moved up
(02:42):
in the draft all the way to thirty five in
order to get the South Carolina safety who during the
draft miss catalog process I called a combination of Cam
Chancellor and Earl Thomas. As fast as Earl, as big
as Cam. I even nicknamed him Cam Earl tom And
so that's who they drafted. I'm not surprised that John
(03:04):
Schneider likes Cam Earl Tomler.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Absolutely, very interesting too where you talk about who they
were coached by, Frank Beamer coaching Cam Chancellor, and then
you have Shane who obviously was coaching at South Carolina too,
So it's just interesting where you wonder if there's a
prototype that comes out of that family.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Also in the second round on Friday, the tight end
out of Miami Elijah Arroyo. Sounds like the Seatowks put
a lot of stock in what they saw at the
Senior Bowl. Those were two of the names creating the
most buzz at the Senior Bowl, and they ended up
with both of them on the roster. And then before
they were done, as if they hadn't made enough splashy
(03:45):
picks to this point in the draft and done enough
splashy things, they get Jalen Milroe out of Alabama in
the third round, ninety second overall, who's been nothing but
praised by his teammates and coaches ever since the draft
pick was made. They got a special dude and a
special athlete, and it's going to be interesting to see
how they're going to use them. They're already talking about
(04:07):
a ten percent of the game package that they might
give this specimen once the regular season rolls around. So
that's through day number two. I mean, time will only
tell if it's going to be a good draft, a
great draft, a bad draft for the Seattle Seahawks. But
I'll say this, ten years have been doing this here
in town. I think it's the most fascinating four picks
(04:29):
that they've ever made in the NFL draft process. And
so that got us to today, and what a crazy
day today has been. And so three trades made by John,
three selections also made by John. Here are the trades
in the fourth round, one thirty seventh overall. They sent
that to New England. They moved down seven spots and
(04:50):
picked up a seventh rounder in that process. Then a
few seconds later, a few minutes later, maybe it was minutes,
felt like seconds on draft time, they went from moving
out of one seventy two to get up to one
forty two. What did they throw in in order to
make that jump? Sam Howell? That's right, Jalen Millroe. The
(05:13):
room was two loaded with quarterbacks. So you've got Drew Locke,
Jalen Millroe, and Sam Darnold. That's your three quarterbacks right now.
And then I guess Jared Hall out of BYU as well.
But Sam Howell moved to the Minnesota Vikings in order
to get thirty spaces up the fifth round and grab
Riley Mills defensive tackle slash defensive end out of Notre Dame.
(05:37):
Probably a rotational piece in the defensive line.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Oh, he's versatile, right, he play edge, but he considered
himself a tackle. He's listed as a tackle, but or
listed as a defensive end, but kind of as a
defensive tackle as well.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, in the translation, it's sort of like the quarterbacks
don't like to be called game managers. I'm not sure
a defensive lineman liked to be called rotational piece. I
like to think they probably think, no, I can put
me in the lineup every scene. That's right, But you
know the jargon, it's kind of similar there. But right now,
(06:11):
let's face it. Fifth rounder, it's probably by design expected
to be a rotational piece for the Seahawks defensive line.
Then they finally got oh, there was one more trade.
Oh got to mention this trade. They were sitting at
one forty four, so they had a chance to make
two picks and three and then they moved out of
that pick with Cleveland four Cleveland's fifth rounder, one sixty
(06:35):
sixth overall and their sixth rounder one ninety two overall. Now,
that in and of itself not that big of a story,
except that it immediately linked to the biggest story in
the draft, and that is Shador. Sanders finally came off
the board with that pick that the Cleveland Browns picked
up in their trade with the Seahawks. At the suffering
(06:58):
of the Sanders family aim to an end, Chador goes
to the Cleveland Browns, who had already Jessamin drafted Dylan
Gabriel earlier in the year.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I'm gonna say, did the suffering really end? He's going
to Cleveland?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Talk about a quarterback room? My goodness, it'll any picket
Joe Flacco, Dylan Gabriel, Schadre Sanders, and in the back
Deshaun Watson somewhere floating in the ether. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Not sure what his health status is, but I mean,
you look at that room, and I mean's got to
make the team. This is no I mean, obviously we
think he's capable of it, the youngest quarterback on that
roster by far, but he's still gotta compete.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Right now, what a story, What a monster story. And
we will find some time to kind of sink our
teeth into it. We have to before our three hours
come to a close, because the Chador Sanders' story has
had everybody talking for three straight days and will be
still talking about it well into next week when people
are starting to make sense of this twenty twenty five
(08:01):
NFL draft. But right now, the pick's been coming fast
and furious. So back to what has been done so far.
On Day number three, with a one hundred and sixty
sixth selection in round number five, Seahawks grab Tory Horton,
wide receiver out of Colorado State, coming off an injury season,
but at two very productive years for Colorado State back
(08:22):
in the day, sounds like we might be hearing from
Tory Horton coming up at two o'clock today right here
on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR him.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
From his former quarterback.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Oh, is that right? Who knows that guy? Who's got
a connection to him?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I know a guy.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Oh, you can know a guy. I knows a guy.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I know a guy who knows the guy.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
But we're gonna talk to Clay Millan, who is Colorado
State's quarterback while Tory was playing there, right who we're going.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
To talk to me? Yeah? All right, so they know
each other. Well. I think we're just gonna hand it
over to Clay, just like you interview him. Just go
for it, Bud, Yeah yeah, show us, yeah, show us
what you got. So that's coming up at two o'clock.
And then with the one and seventy fifth selection, the
Seahawks just couldn't wait. We kind of knew they were
going to take a full back type, or at least
(09:07):
thought that they might in the draft. This is somebody
that I think kind of projected as a seventh rounder,
but I don't think they wanted his mustache to get
past him. And so they go with Robbie Oots the
tight end Alabama, and have already listed him as a
full back. Robbie Ootz, who we just heard moments ago
(09:30):
being interviewed by the Hoard up front and again another
guy that came off really well in his interview. Almost
every one of them has. And so Robbie Oots joins
this team. So they've got a fullback. They're going to
use a full back going forward this year. It'll be
interesting to get to see this process unfold as a
(09:51):
lot of NFL teams are kind of going back to
full back usage here in twenty twenty five. Also, some
other things that have I've been in the sixth round.
Shador Sanders wasn't the only quarterback that fell dramatically in
this process, by the way. Kyle McCord, who was being
talked about at one point as a possible late first rounder,
(10:13):
he just got taken in the sixth round, eighty first
overall by the Philadelphia Eagles. So Kyle McCord fell quite
hard in this process as well, and then five picks later,
Will Howard finally got taken in round number six, the
National Championship quarterback for Ohio State. The Pittsburgh Steelers finally
(10:34):
took a quarterback, and it's Will Howard. I don't think
they drafted him to be a starter.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
That's a good guess, yeah, in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, So they now have Will.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
All security though little security.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, they had to get somebody, so they get Will Howard.
They already have Mason Rudolph, and then we think they're
going to have Aaron Rodgers. That was another story from
earlier today that it was suggested by the steel that
they think that Aaron Rodgers is going to be a stealer,
so that might end up being their quarterback room in
(11:07):
all of this, Ali Gordon out of Oklahoma State, it
was record setting and running back for them also got
taken here in the sixth round by the Miami Dolphins,
would pick one seventy nine. So that gets you up
to speed on everything that has happened to this point.
We also will let you know that the Seahawks will
next select at one nine two, so we are seven
picks away from their next selection unless John Schneider makes
(11:31):
his fourth trade here on day number three and moves
out of that spot. But right now, we're planning on
announcing pick one ninety two to the Seahawks here in
a matter of moments, and then they will still have
three seventh round selections to go before all is said
and done. So there you go. There's your date. Now
you are up to speed, So why don't we take
(11:53):
a quick little break and then we'll align some analysis
for you from some of the smart people in this room.
So we'll I'm back on the other side and get
you set up for that next Sea Hawks selection as well.
Chuck Powell with you, Jessemon McIntyre, Jackson Felts, and a
crew of one thousand experts here on Sports Radio ninety
three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Welcome to the NFL Draft.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Now back to the Virginia Mason Athletics Center and the
twenty twenty five NFL Draft and brought to you by
gors Light, by R and R Foundation specialists, the Queen
Anne Beer Hall, and by Fox thirteen on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ r FL.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
I've played a lot of HVAC, a lot off the
Boss stuff which correlates, but in terms of traditional I formation.
I played a little bit freshman and sophomore year with
coach O'Bryan office the coordinator, but not I didn't really
get in too many reps in these past two years,
but I would like to think them more than natural Edit.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Boots, they did it again. Robbie Oots has been added
to the Seattle Seahawks with their most recent pick, seventy
fifth overall and the fifth round. Good afternoon, everyone, It
is KJA RS coverage of the NFL Draft, Award winning
coverage of the NFL Draft. We continue. We've got a
pick coming up here in a matter of moments, and
(13:17):
I'm trying to align it so that our guest here
that we've brought on set can be here to give
us some instant analysis when they take at one ninety two.
Riley Leonard, by the way, just came off the board,
the quarterback out of Notre Dame one nine to the
Indianapolis Colts, who are picking again, then the Eagles, then
the Seahawks at one ninety two. So we will deliver
(13:38):
that pick to you here in a matter of moments,
and we will have Corbyn Smith react to it while
we've got him here at our set. How are you man?
You join the draft?
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Oh yeah, this is a whirlwind day three here abou
Seattle's got four picks the next fifty. Yeah, so Barty,
kind of a crazy end of the day because you
know how fast the picks go this time of the draft,
and so we have that many of them. Yeah, you
start analyzing one pick and then you turn around and
there's another one being made. So I guess that's better
than sitting and doing nothing for three hours.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Well, I mean, John keeps it interesting. Three trades already,
three picks and four more to go. So let's just
focus here on day number three. What has happened thus far?
And I think maybe that lead story is Sam How's
no longer a Seahawk.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Yeah, but look, we were talking about it up there
in the here in the media room. As soon as
Jalen Milroe got picked yesterday, I thought he already had
two feet out the door. Now you got the door
knob hitting me of the back, so that he was
pushed out.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
There was nowhere.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
There's no way you can have that many quarterbacks in
your roster. Mike McDonald tried to act yesterday like, oh,
we can get reps for all these guys. You can't
get reps for five quarterbacks, especially with the way that
abbreviated practice time is in the off season now. So
it the writing has been on the wall for quite
some time.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Have you been have you been moved? If you will?
Maybe that's the wrong word though, by not just getting
to interview Jalen Milroe get to know him a little
bit better, but by everybody that has spoken about him,
including Robbie Oots moments ago, nothing but praise for this
young man.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Yeah, nothing that's being said is surprising to me. You
know my evaluation. I had a fourth round grade on him,
but it had nothing to do with the character. He's
a high character guy. Work ethic unprecedented work ethic, and
as Robbie Utz pointed out, those are not issues. The
problem is things away from the physical tools. You know,
(15:28):
sometimes struggling with progressions, reading, coverages, pocket presence for being
a super athletic guy. There are a lot of times
in film you see that there's some struggles in that regard.
Knowing that the pressures bearing down on him and being
able to get out of the pocket takes some sacks
that you shouldn't take. So those are the things that
need to improve, and the short intermediate passing game is
accuracy can sometimes betray him.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
It's weird.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
He has maybe the best deep.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Ball mechanics in this entire draft, but then when you
look at the short intermediate throws, his throwing mechanics can
get out of whack and it leads to an inconsistent accuracy.
So it's kind of an odd profile when you look
at it from that perspective.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
But he's got trades you can't teach. Yeah, And so
to me, we were talking about it before the pig
was made yesterday.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
I thought there might be a chance they might go
down that road because he was still available. They had
a thirty visit with him. But four three nine you
can't teach that at the quarterback position.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, I mean I watched that game against Georgia. That
first half he looked like Lamar Jackson and you know
John Elway had merged, but it wasn't as consistent as
you wanted to see. Corbyn Smith is with us from
Locked On podcast and also the Emerald City Spectrum where
he's now anders Hurst Boss and orders him around on
a regular basis. Andrews just a little bit. Andrews will
(16:41):
be taken over the show at three o'clock, but before
that he'll be washing Corbyn's car. Anyway, let's get back
to a couple of other things before the pick comes up.
Here at one ninety two, we are moments away from that.
The Eagles pick is in, and so the Seahawks are
on the clock right now. Miles Hinton of Michigan just
went and we're gonna get Corbyn's reaction to the next
Seahawks pick here in a matter of moments. Let's spot
(17:03):
talk about Boots a little bit, because just a fascinating
element of we were serious, we're going to use a
fullback this year.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
And I love it, and I'm old school in that regard,
and Seattle has had to get back to the physicality.
This is just another pick that tells you that this
is becoming Mike McDonald's team because and he mentioned it
when we were just talking to him, Patrick Riccard that
big bodied, not quite big enough to be an offensive lineman,
but a little bit too big to be a tight end.
(17:31):
In today's NFL, We're gonna put you in the backfield
and let you just blow dudes up. And he said
he'd rather block than score. A touchdown like that got
me super excited. I'm an old school guy, love the
high formation, strong, strong eye.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Let's bring it back and Clint Kobiak uses it.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
I mean his fullback, Adam Prentiss last year played a
ton for New Orleans. So he's gonna use this kid
if he comes in and he's natural like he says
he is. And you know a lot of people were
joking about, well, he did have a fast forty. He
has a pretty good short shuttle in three cone time.
I mean four point three to four seconds in the
short shuttle at two hundred and seventy four pounds is
(18:06):
pretty darn good change of direction skills and I'm looking
at that more than speed when it comes to a fullback.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, well he ran like a four to seven forty,
but his mustache crossed at four to three. So it's
a monster. It's a monster. I'm telling you all right,
the pick us in for the Seahawks. We're gonna find
it out in a second here with Corbin and get
his immediate reaction to it. And so I'm sitting here
(18:32):
on the fence because I want to ask him.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
About gotta have a defensive lineman an interior defensive lineman
or a corner. Those are the two positions they have
not covered yet that I'm a little surprised they haven't.
But we'll see who they end up going with here.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah, this kind of froze here for a second on
us earlier. So can I ask you for a fifteen second?
Does Tory Horton satisfy the need for seed before you
ask that? I'm sorry, we have the pick here? Oh
you do have the pick? Yeah, okay, cabledo, he's a okay, Kansas.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
This now, okay, this is incredible.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
This is now the fifth player out of seven that
had been drafted by the Seahawks that had an official
thirty visit. So if you think those don't matter, I
mean John Schneider. I did the research on this going
into this draft. John Schneider since twenty eleven, going into
this draft, almost twenty percent of his draft picks.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
And these are the ones that were reported.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
There might have been some guys that had visits that
we just didn't know about almost twenty percent of them.
So some teams it might not be a big deal.
For this franchise, it absolutely is. And this year, Yeah,
we're now at five out of the seven picks have
been official thirty visits, and this guy's really athletic. He's
played tackle, but he's got kind of short arms. I'm
anticipating that they are gonna move him inside to guard
(19:46):
and maybe he gets a look at center.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
It's one of those guys that has the athleticism to.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Be able to do it. It's just gonna be a
little bit of a project getting him inside.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Rob was talking about him earlier, Your buddy, Rob rang.
Bryce Cabldo six foot six inches tall, three hundred and
fifteen pounds out of Kansas is the most recent selection.
The Seahawks do add another offensive line piece to go
along with Gray's Abel here in the draft. So while
I've got you Gray's Abel, Bryce Capaldo added to the
(20:14):
offensive line enough.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
I think at this point they've done enough. I don't think.
Here's the thing.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
I'm a subscriber to the idea that Christian Haynes still
has a very bright future. It didn't work with Scott
Huff last year, and that's why he's not the line
coach anymore. Yeah, I think that John Benton is going
to be able to maximize his ability in this scheme
with his athleticism. He's got a great zone blocking tape
at Yukon. I just think he's going to be a bet.
I think he's gonna be more comfortable in this offense.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
That squeeze one more in Tory Horton. Satisfy your need
for speeded wide receiver. He does.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
And listen, he ran in the four fours just coming
back from that injury. But he told his four to
three five is what he ran before. That is what
I had been told that he had been running in.
So this guy has the ability to win downfield. They
didn't have great quarterback play sistantly at Colorado State. I
think Sam Darnold or Jalen Millroe. Jalen Milroe can throw
the ball a country mile. This is going to be
(21:08):
the guy that gives you that vertical stretching ability. He's
one of the he's I would say, one of the
five best vertical receivers in this draft. And he gets
size and the ability to high point the football.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
With him too at six foot two.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Great stuff. I'm gonna let you get back to work.
You didn't wear that tie just to talk to me.
I guarantee you that. So. Corbyn Smith from Locked On
Seahawks podcast. Also Emerald City Spectrum joining us here. Some
great analysis. Nice work, Corbyn really really happy with you
right now, really happy with the work you've done. And
he's going to go now back to work. And in
(21:40):
a moment here, I'm sure we are going to hear
from Bryce Cabaldoo. Hopefully we're pronouncing that the right way.
I'm probably drafting this, but you know, I don't know
them all. And yet Rob Rang and Corbyn Smith seemed
to know them all. And Rob was talking about this
guy earlier. So he was somebody on Rob's wish list
for the Seahawks, and and they must have been listening.
(22:01):
They satisfy it by taking the six ft six inch
three hundred and fifteen pounder out of Kansas. I'm gonna
read the pre draft analysis for you. Cable Doo may
need to move from tackle to guard in the NFL.
That's what Corbin said. He fires off the ball and
gets good initial push in the running game. He's effective
combo blocking and takes sound angles climbing two linebackers. He
can seal the edge and work up to the second
(22:22):
level on zone runs. He's quick and explodes into his
pass set Cabaldoo's hand placement is inconsistent that he moves
well enough to mirror and is strong enough to anchor
when he lands his punch and latches on as a
pass blocker. That from Steve Munch from ESPN. It's just
the first one that I happened to come across. But
(22:42):
Bryce Cabaldoo is the selection there at one ninety two
for the Seahawks there fourth of the day, and we
believe they still have three to go. Two twenty three,
two thirty four, and two thirty eight will be the
seventh round selections as of now for the Seahawks. But man,
we got a lot of good information there from Corbin
(23:03):
in a short period of time about this entire draft
for the Seahawks, and I think that probably does. I mean,
you never know, they could still get something like center possibly,
but the fact that they went with their first round
pick Gray Zabel, and so you are kind of assuming
that that's a starter for this team on opening day,
(23:27):
then maybe you didn't need as many offensive linemen to
satisfy your great offensive line need. Maybe they don't want,
they don't need competitions everywhere if they're kind of counting
on Zabel being a starter on this team, and that's
what it sounds like he's going to be. So maybe
not as many bites at the apple here at offensive line.
(23:49):
This probably does satisfy at these two guys.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Well, yeah, and I'm really interested too.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
I really like what Corbin said just about how Huff
was just not the right guy for Christian Haynes. And
now you have John Benton come in under Clint Kubiak,
and you've got not just a new offensive flying coach,
but you have a whole new offense. And so some
of the pieces that do exist within the system right
now could be retooled, and actually we could see more
success with that, and it looks like they're just adding
(24:14):
to bolster the talent that they already have.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
If you get a healthy Aid.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Lucas and a retool Christian Haynes and then whatever you're
gonna if Olu can finally you know, get going at center,
I mean, you're looking at a massive upgrade if all
things go the way that we are positively looking at it.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Well, Sindell and Olu in competition, I don't think anybody
has it right now. If anybody's written on the depth chart,
it's in pencil. But they seem to like both of
those guys and seem to think both can get the
job done. So I hope Seawk fans because I know
going into this process it was just all about you
have to get an offensive line. If you take a
wide receiver, I'll murder you in your sleep, you know.
(24:52):
And so hopefully Seyork fans are satisfied with what they've
done on the offensive line thus far in draft, and
they do still have three selections to go, so they
could add something else. But it really does feel like
there was just we're gonna go get the guys we want.
I mean that sort of thing. I mean, to have
(25:13):
moved up as aggressively as they did to get Nick,
Emm and Warri who just felt I remember, going back
to the draft, Miss Catalog, I said it about em
and Warri, and I said it about Zabel both. They
just kind of felt like Seahawk draft picks, you know,
even before we got to Thursday and lo and behold
they end up in the Seahork uniform. Greg told us
(25:33):
Greg Bell in the last couple of weeks leading up
to the draft that he kept bringing up the name
Jaylen Milroe and so he obviously has smelled something on
the air about their interest in Jalen Milroe, and so
that happens, and I think we all expected them to
add some speed healthy Tory Horton does kind of seem
like he satisfies that out of Colorado State. I mean
(25:57):
it's fifth rounder. I mean we're not gonna count on
him being a starr, but somebody that might be able
to develop into that. And Marquez Veldes scantling if nothing else,
buys you some time to see what you got.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Yeah, I like it a lot, and just considering, you know,
he could be, you know, a spot package guy. And
you know, we talked about his most prideful part of
his game is being a vertical threat. Obviously he has
the speed as well, but just being able to spread
the field out. It might be good for situational uh,
situational packages. Yeah, we are being rejoined by Corbyn.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
He's got something.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
I just okay, I'm a huge subscriber to the relative
Athletic score.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
I think it's a really cool facet when you're looking
at this.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
But what's mine just judging by judging my opinion.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Right, So Bryce cap will do the new draft pick
for the Seahawks. If you look at him from a
tackle perspective, this is really fascinating. The two players that
are the closest comps athletically and when you look at
his size and all this testing are Toronto Armstead and
Ray Shawn Slater. So you're talking too guys that those guys.
So he actually has thirty three inch arms. They're listing
(27:03):
him as a guard. I'm wondering if that's fluid here,
because he's play he's gotten long enough arms and that
athleticism is at elite level. But if you move him
to the guard spot, he is a nine point nine
to one out of ten. Wow, so he's even higher
on the scale.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Well, the versatility we were just talking about is something
that versatile.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
On the athleticism without sacrificing size sounds like what they're after.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Yeah, this is a fascinating pick.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
A little bit like the Gray's Abel profile. Not necessarily
that they're the same player, but.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
They said they were going to be, you know, necessarily
trying to fit a box with these athletics athletic metrics,
but clearly that's what they're looking for and they should
be in this own scheme all right. I thought that
was a very interesting you guys, all right, I appreciated guys.
THENK you appreciate Corbyn Smith coming back here to update us.
He never did give me my score. He just got
(27:57):
away without that. I can enter it myself, is that right?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Enter your stats.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
I really liked that because he was listed as a
guard when he was drafted, but the profile that you
read on ESPN dot com said he might have to
move from tackle to guard, so you know, he's being
listed as guard everywhere. Obviously, he played tackle in college,
so I wonder if his stats just shaded guard more
than they did tackle and that's why. But that is
that is really interesting that he has the arm length
(28:27):
to be able to play on the outside.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah. Well, we're still a little bit away from the
next selection that doesn't come until two twenty three. We
are a one ninety seven, and so since I've got
a little bit of time, there's something that I have
to get in in my three hours. Here do it.
There was a pick earlier today, and I don't know
how many people saw it, but Baron sorel Out of
Texas was taken by the Green Bay Packers in round
(28:50):
number four and If anybody listens to Sports Rader ninety
three point three KJRFM in the mornings to Chuck and Buck,
then you know what a spectacle we make out of
the draft this month every single year, something that I
have entitled Draft miss and Man was the draftmas spirit
alive and well for this selection. If you didn't see it,
(29:12):
this is somebody that decided, hey, you know what, I'm
not really being projected as a first rounder, but I
just want to be a part of this process. Dreamed
about it my entire life. And so he stayed for
day number one in the green room, for day number
two in the green room, and then was there in
day number three, the only guy that was there for
all three days. But he just wanted to have the problem.
(29:34):
He knew he wasn't going to be a first round pick,
but he wanted to be there in the green room,
walk on the stage, hug Roger Goodell, which, by the way,
those things get more seductive every year. I don't know
what Roger is doing, but it's kind of gotten beyond
creepy at this point. I mean, you shouldn't wrap your
leg around the other guy's leg. Roger.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
So he wanted to pick up a lot more.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, So he wanted to do the hug and put
on the hat and everything else, and it just so happens.
He gets rewarded in that process by being taken by
the team hosting the draft, the Green Bay Packers, and
so in Green Bay fans there were as many there
today as there were Thursday night. One hundred thousand Packer
(30:18):
fans were there to root this guy on in his moment,
so it was all worth it. He comes out on
the stage, he gets treated like C three po on indoor.
I mean they're like practically carrying them around on their shoulders.
Like he said, God, he goes out on an extra
stage and is in the middle of him, and one
hundred thousand Packer fans are like, welcome to Wisconsin, Welcome
(30:39):
to the National Football League, welcome to football heaven all
of that. And he got to soak all of that up.
And why because he put his ego aside and said,
I've dreamed about this on my entire life. I don't
care when I get drafted. I want to be drafted
and I want to do the whole thing. I want
Roger Goodell to hug me. I want to put on
(31:01):
the hat. I want to walk down that corridor and
I want to be a part of the entire process.
And he got to experience something he never dreamt that
he was going to get to experience because he had
one hundred thousand fans of the team that picked him
cheering his name.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Awesome stuff, It's so great.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
And you know what, there are a couple of different
instances that I saw Maxwell Harrison went number thirtieth overall and.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Oh he was great.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
He was hyping everybody up.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
He went third to last in the first round and
he was just everybody's hype man and.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
It was great.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
It was fantastic.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
It also reminds me of Kevin King, who was a
ub cornerback who was drafted by Babe.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
We'll get back to that after this.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
All right, we're going to go up to the podium.
We're gonna hear from the most recent to draft pick.
This is Bryce cabldoo Race.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
You've played a lot of football in your college days.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Where have you improved the most from your freshman year
till now?
Speaker 8 (31:56):
I think the place I've improved the most is just
my knowledge for the actual game of football. You know,
I think the more you understand it. The more you
become a student of the game, the easier football is
for you. So, you know, just learning how to watch film,
learning how you know, learning all the different techniques, watching
as much film as you possibly can. And I just think,
I just, uh turn, learn how to become a pro.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
When you had your top thirty visit out here, what
did they tell you and give you an idea that
you're the Seahawks are gonna pick you? Uh yeah, kind of?
You know.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
Whenever I went out there, it was you know, I
had an amazing time. I loved Seattle, and I talked
to some of the some of the coaches. I talked
to the to the GM, to the offensive line coach,
and so yeah, I didn't really have too I didn't
have too much of an idea of where they would
pick me or if they would pick me. But I
knew I was, I was in good graces with them,
and you know, I was just hopeful and thankful that
(32:49):
they ended up picking me, right, Yes, sir.
Speaker 9 (32:55):
Did every did everybody see you as a guard?
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Or yes, yeah, most teams they see me as the guard.
That's what I played at East West Shrine Bowl and
so ever since then and then and then my measurements
as well. And so you know, I think over a
lot of teams, seem valuable is a person that could
play all three interior you know, left guard, center, and
right guard and then also kick out to one of
the tackles in emergency situations.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
How much experience have you had previously at the center position?
Speaker 8 (33:23):
Not much, very very seldom. And I did a little
bit in practice during the sw West s Rine ball.
I I would be stamping before before practice and stuff
like that, and so I haven't gotten much. I've done
a lot of work this past offseason and learning center
and you know, learning how to snap the ball and
learn how all the different techniques with it, and so
you know, if that's something that they want me to do,
then you know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be ready
(33:44):
for it.
Speaker 9 (33:44):
Obviously you played a lot of tackle in college. But
what about your game do you think suits you well
as a guard?
Speaker 8 (33:51):
So I think I think I'm really quick. I'm really
quick off the ball, and that helps me. That helps
me put my body in a really good position expect
play in pass pro. And I'm able to get in
front of people in the run game. You know, I'm
quick off the ball, and so you know, I could,
I could. I'm really good at getting fitted into the defense,
into the defenders and you know, kind of open up
(34:13):
holes for running backs.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Is it true Kansas was your only power five off
or what other choices did you have?
Speaker 8 (34:20):
It was just Ku and you and m And why did.
Speaker 9 (34:24):
You not stay home in New Mexico?
Speaker 8 (34:27):
You know, I really I really liked offensive line coach
that they had at Kansas. I believed what they were
building over there was going to be special. Whenever I
whenever I took my visitor over there, I fell in
love with Kansas and the town of Lawrence. And so
as soon as I got there and I knew it
was going to be home for me.
Speaker 7 (34:41):
Which offensive lineman around the league did you spend time watching?
Speaker 8 (34:46):
I watched a lot when so I've whenever I was
in college and I was studying tackles, I would watch
a lot of Tennis sul and so I kind of
modeled my game after him at tackle. And since I've
been transitioning in the guard, I watched a lot of
Zach Martin Quinn minors and Will Fries.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
What'd you think of playing guard?
Speaker 6 (35:08):
The limited chances you had to play play it at
the Shrine Bowl and such.
Speaker 8 (35:14):
Yeah. No, Well, whenever, whenever I got the East West
Shrine Bowl, I had, I had some really really good
coaches over there, and whenever I never asked them to
stick me at guard, and they did. From where I started,
as from day one until the final game was a
whole lot was a really big difference. You know, I
got better every single day and so you know, I'm
(35:35):
pretty comfortable playing guard now. That's all I've been working
on this past offseason. And so whenever time to put
the paths on, you know, I think I'm going to shine.
Speaker 9 (35:42):
Can you clarify a pronunciation of your last name?
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Able do?
Speaker 9 (35:48):
If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
You're the first person from native of New Mexico to
be drafted since twenty nineteen?
Speaker 9 (35:55):
Is that correct?
Speaker 8 (35:57):
I to be honest, I really don't know how.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
Much pride do you take it New Mexico And it's
not exactly a hotbred for NFL players, But like you said,
leaving home to make it what you did at Kansas
and now get draft in the NFL.
Speaker 8 (36:11):
Yeah, no, for sure. You know, I know I love
I love New Mexico born and raised there. My entire
family lives here in New Mexico. You know, I love
the food, I love the people, and you know, you know,
I have a lot of product being from New Mexico,
being one of only being a very seldom group out
of New Mexico that's ever been drafted that's from New Mexico.
(36:32):
And so you know, you know, I have so much
love and so much pride from being out of New Mexico.
Speaker 9 (36:36):
You're you're in clothes now.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 9 (36:39):
At your family home?
Speaker 8 (36:42):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 9 (36:42):
What was the setting for the call on your cell phone?
In your house? Some people take a walk, walk their dog.
Speaker 8 (36:47):
What were you doing? No, I had My whole family
showed up and so there we were just waiting to
have the living room for a couple of hours, waiting
for the call. You know, my dad, my dad was
on the smoker today. He made a he made some ribs,
some port and a pork butt, and so you know,
we we had some food, just eat eating, having a
good time, playing a little bit of cornhole until I
(37:07):
got the call. Absolutely, I'll send you the address.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Rice.
Speaker 9 (37:13):
What do you know about some of the Seahawks. They've
had a couple offensive long Hall of Famers. Do you
know anything about some of the players.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
No, No, sir, I really do not. I need to
start looking at that, you know, because you know, since
since I'm going to be a seahawk.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
Did you meet with Steve Hutchinson when you were here?
Speaker 8 (37:34):
I do not believe.
Speaker 9 (37:35):
So no, I didn't mean to trip you up the question.
And let me ask another one in terms of guard
to tackle, what what's the do you change the mindset there?
Speaker 1 (37:44):
What that's? What?
Speaker 8 (37:44):
What is that?
Speaker 9 (37:45):
What's going to be like for you?
Speaker 8 (37:47):
Yeah, so it's it's it's a little bit quicker. You know,
guys are in your faith a whole lot faster. It's
a little it's a you have to use a little
bit more strength, you know. I tackle, you could be
a little bit prettier, you know, you're you use your
legs a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
You know.
Speaker 8 (37:59):
I it's you know, very very physical, very in your
face at all times. And yeah, you know, you have
to be extremely aware. And so you know, like I said,
I think I'm pretty quick off the ball. I've been
working on my hand placement all my striking. I've I've
always been pretty strong, and so I think going from
guard or starry from tackle to guard is going to
suit me really well.
Speaker 9 (38:19):
Do you feel like you're run blocking your past blocking
is a little bit ahead of one or the other.
Speaker 8 (38:25):
I think as of right now, my run blocking is
a little bit ahead of my past blocking.
Speaker 9 (38:29):
And do you have a favorite run paves or block more?
Speaker 8 (38:34):
Oh? Oh yeah, absolutely. You know I love white zone,
front side of wide zone, backside of white zone. You know,
I think you could really just uh it's you really
just get to run off the ball as fast as
you can and hit someone as hard as you can,
you know, and you know you start when you get
those defenders running a little bit, You get them out leverage.
(38:54):
And that's whenever you get guys on the ground.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Good.
Speaker 9 (38:59):
Thank thank thank you, Bryce, Thank you.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
Ch do hang up just yet.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
I'm gonna chuck. Brice cable Doo out of Kansas the
sixth round selection for the Seahawks, one hundred and ninety
two overall. They're listing him as a guard. Played tackle
in college with the Jayhawks. Known a little bit more
for basketball than football, but athletic six foot six inches tall,
three hundred and fifteen pounds and the second offensive lineman
(39:25):
taken in this draft. Process twenty twenty five by John
Schneider and his staff for the Seattle Seahawks. They still
have three selections to go two twenty three, two thirty four,
and two thirty eight. By the way, if they wanted
to Cable Due's teammate Kobe Bryant, that's right, Kobe Bryant
cornerback for Kansas could be a seventh round selection. John
(39:45):
Schneider has the opportunity to set the record for most
Kobe Bryant's on a roster in the history of the
National Football League, a record that will never be broken.
The old record was zero. We would have two. There's
no way. It's like Tony Dorsett's ninety nine yard touch
down run. That record could not ever be beaten. So
I don't know if he wants to play those games,
he can, but I think they need a cornerback too,
(40:06):
and Kobe Bryant's the seventh round value, so maybe we'll
end up with two Rock Chalk Jayhawks. Before it's all
said and done. You know what happened on day number
one and day number two. I'll recap that for you
in our next hour. But if you are just joining us,
here's what's happened today. John's made three different trades today,
and here are the four players that have landed with
(40:27):
the Seahawks. Riley Mills defensive tackle slash defensive end out
of Notre Dame. Tory Horton, wide receiver out of Colorado State.
We're going to talk about him rather extensively coming up
here at two o'clock. We'll have a special guest for
that Robbie Oots, full back out of Alabama. They weren't
kidding around. They're going to run a full back this
year in twenty twenty five. And now Bryce Cabledo has
(40:49):
been added to the roster out of Kansas. In these
sixth round three selections to go, we'll take a quick break,
come back on the other side and continue our NFL
Draft coverage here from the Virginia may An Athletic Center
on Sports Radio ninety three point three k j R
f M
Welcome to the NFL Draft.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Now back to the Virginia Mason Athletics Center and the
twenty twenty five NFL Draft, and brought to you by
Coors Light, by R and R Foundation specialist the Queen
Anne beer Hall, and by Fox thirteen on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ R FL.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well, good afternoon. Our draft coverage continues here at Sports
Radio ninety three point three e KJR FM. My name
is Chuck pel Jackson Feltz, Jessmin Mcatyre in a cast
of thousands, giving you the NFL Draft coverage. Pick not
necessarily pick by pick anymore, but certainly Seahawks pick by
Seahawks pick. Has been a very busy day number three,
(00:49):
which is usually the slot that I hands select to
do some recapping of stuff and kind of putting the
entire Seahawks picture into focus. But we have so many
things to still solve. We've got three seventh round picks
that are the Seahawks are scheduled to make, and now
a sixth rounder which they picked up in a trade
(01:10):
a little bit earlier this afternoon, and so four more
picks that they are expected to make still might not.
John's already traded three times today, and we have three
names that have been added to the roster, which we
will recap for you in a moment. And so let
me just first tell you this hour that your coverage
of the draft is brought to you by Frostbrewed, Cores, Light,
(01:34):
Choose Chill, also the experts that are in r Foundation
specialists Queen Anne beer Hall and Fox thirteen as well.
And if you are listening in your car, great, but
there are other ways you get the free iHeartRadio app
as well. And so let any ways to take in
this coverage here on a beautiful Saturday in Seattle where
(01:57):
the Seahawks are making beautiful music in the war room.
Right now, here's what's going on. So let me go back.
We gotta do some recapping here we go to take
care of some work because we're always having to update
the score. Right. Gray Zabel was the first round selection
by the Seattle Seahawks all the way back on Thursday eighteenth,
overall out of North Dakota State. And he's supposed to
(02:19):
be wandering the building at some point to hear this afternoon,
so Jesseman will tackle him to put him on our airwaves.
She's done it before. She'll do it again. Scared up
offensive lineman ye Zabel we thought was the best mustache
taken in the draft by the Seahawks, but maybe not anymore.
More on that in the moment. Nick Emon Worri was
the second round selection yesterday, where the Seahawks moved up
(02:42):
in the draft all the way to thirty five in
order to get the South Carolina safety who during the
draft miss catalog process I called a combination of Cam
Chancellor and Earl Thomas. As fast as Earl, as big
as Cam. I even nicknamed him Cam Earl tom And
so that's who they drafted. I'm not surprised that John
(03:04):
Schneider likes Cam Earl Tomler.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Absolutely, very interesting too where you talk about who they
were coached by, Frank Beamer coaching Cam Chancellor, and then
you have Shane who obviously was coaching at South Carolina too,
So it's just interesting where you wonder if there's a
prototype that comes out of that family.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Also in the second round on Friday, the tight end
out of Miami Elijah Arroyo. Sounds like the Seatowks put
a lot of stock in what they saw at the
Senior Bowl. Those were two of the names creating the
most buzz at the Senior Bowl, and they ended up
with both of them on the roster. And then before
they were done, as if they hadn't made enough splashy
(03:45):
picks to this point in the draft and done enough
splashy things, they get Jalen Milroe out of Alabama in
the third round, ninety second overall, who's been nothing but
praised by his teammates and coaches ever since the draft
pick was made. They got a special dude and a
special athlete, and it's going to be interesting to see
how they're going to use them. They're already talking about
(04:07):
a ten percent of the game package that they might
give this specimen once the regular season rolls around. So
that's through day number two. I mean, time will only
tell if it's going to be a good draft, a
great draft, a bad draft for the Seattle Seahawks. But
I'll say this, ten years have been doing this here
in town. I think it's the most fascinating four picks
(04:29):
that they've ever made in the NFL draft process. And
so that got us to today, and what a crazy
day today has been. And so three trades made by John,
three selections also made by John. Here are the trades
in the fourth round, one thirty seventh overall. They sent
that to New England. They moved down seven spots and
(04:50):
picked up a seventh rounder in that process. Then a
few seconds later, a few minutes later, maybe it was minutes,
felt like seconds on draft time, they went from moving
out of one seventy two to get up to one
forty two. What did they throw in in order to
make that jump? Sam Howell? That's right, Jalen Millroe. The
(05:13):
room was two loaded with quarterbacks. So you've got Drew Locke,
Jalen Millroe, and Sam Darnold. That's your three quarterbacks right now.
And then I guess Jared Hall out of BYU as well.
But Sam Howell moved to the Minnesota Vikings in order
to get thirty spaces up the fifth round and grab
Riley Mills defensive tackle slash defensive end out of Notre Dame.
(05:37):
Probably a rotational piece in the defensive line.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Oh, he's versatile, right, he play edge, but he considered
himself a tackle. He's listed as a tackle, but or
listed as a defensive end, but kind of as a
defensive tackle as well.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, in the translation, it's sort of like the quarterbacks
don't like to be called game managers. I'm not sure
a defensive lineman liked to be called rotational piece. I
like to think they probably think, no, I can put
me in the lineup every scene. That's right, But you
know the jargon, it's kind of similar there. But right now,
(06:11):
let's face it. Fifth rounder, it's probably by design expected
to be a rotational piece for the Seahawks defensive line.
Then they finally got oh, there was one more trade.
Oh got to mention this trade. They were sitting at
one forty four, so they had a chance to make
two picks and three and then they moved out of
that pick with Cleveland four Cleveland's fifth rounder, one sixty
(06:35):
sixth overall and their sixth rounder one ninety two overall. Now,
that in and of itself not that big of a story,
except that it immediately linked to the biggest story in
the draft, and that is Shador. Sanders finally came off
the board with that pick that the Cleveland Browns picked
up in their trade with the Seahawks. At the suffering
(06:58):
of the Sanders family aim to an end, Chador goes
to the Cleveland Browns, who had already Jessamin drafted Dylan
Gabriel earlier in the year.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I'm gonna say, did the suffering really end? He's going
to Cleveland?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Talk about a quarterback room? My goodness, it'll any picket
Joe Flacco, Dylan Gabriel, Schadre Sanders, and in the back
Deshaun Watson somewhere floating in the ether. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Not sure what his health status is, but I mean,
you look at that room, and I mean's got to
make the team. This is no I mean, obviously we
think he's capable of it, the youngest quarterback on that
roster by far, but he's still gotta compete.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Right now, what a story, What a monster story. And
we will find some time to kind of sink our
teeth into it. We have to before our three hours
come to a close, because the Chador Sanders' story has
had everybody talking for three straight days and will be
still talking about it well into next week when people
are starting to make sense of this twenty twenty five
(08:01):
NFL draft. But right now, the pick's been coming fast
and furious. So back to what has been done so far.
On Day number three, with a one hundred and sixty
sixth selection in round number five, Seahawks grab Tory Horton,
wide receiver out of Colorado State, coming off an injury season,
but at two very productive years for Colorado State back
(08:22):
in the day, sounds like we might be hearing from
Tory Horton coming up at two o'clock today right here
on Sports Radio ninety three point three KJR him.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
From his former quarterback.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Oh, is that right? Who knows that guy? Who's got
a connection to him?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I know a guy.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Oh, you can know a guy. I knows a guy.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I know a guy who knows the guy.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
But we're gonna talk to Clay Millan, who is Colorado
State's quarterback while Tory was playing there, right who we're going.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
To talk to me? Yeah? All right, so they know
each other. Well. I think we're just gonna hand it
over to Clay, just like you interview him. Just go
for it, Bud, Yeah yeah, show us, yeah, show us
what you got. So that's coming up at two o'clock.
And then with the one and seventy fifth selection, the
Seahawks just couldn't wait. We kind of knew they were
going to take a full back type, or at least
(09:07):
thought that they might in the draft. This is somebody
that I think kind of projected as a seventh rounder,
but I don't think they wanted his mustache to get
past him. And so they go with Robbie Oots the
tight end Alabama, and have already listed him as a
full back. Robbie Ootz, who we just heard moments ago
(09:30):
being interviewed by the Hoard up front and again another
guy that came off really well in his interview. Almost
every one of them has. And so Robbie Oots joins
this team. So they've got a fullback. They're going to
use a full back going forward this year. It'll be
interesting to get to see this process unfold as a
(09:51):
lot of NFL teams are kind of going back to
full back usage here in twenty twenty five. Also, some
other things that have I've been in the sixth round.
Shador Sanders wasn't the only quarterback that fell dramatically in
this process, by the way. Kyle McCord, who was being
talked about at one point as a possible late first rounder,
(10:13):
he just got taken in the sixth round, eighty first
overall by the Philadelphia Eagles. So Kyle McCord fell quite
hard in this process as well, and then five picks later,
Will Howard finally got taken in round number six, the
National Championship quarterback for Ohio State. The Pittsburgh Steelers finally
(10:34):
took a quarterback, and it's Will Howard. I don't think
they drafted him to be a starter.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
That's a good guess, yeah, in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, So they now have Will.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
All security though little security.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, they had to get somebody, so they get Will Howard.
They already have Mason Rudolph, and then we think they're
going to have Aaron Rodgers. That was another story from
earlier today that it was suggested by the steel that
they think that Aaron Rodgers is going to be a stealer,
so that might end up being their quarterback room in
(11:07):
all of this, Ali Gordon out of Oklahoma State, it
was record setting and running back for them also got
taken here in the sixth round by the Miami Dolphins,
would pick one seventy nine. So that gets you up
to speed on everything that has happened to this point.
We also will let you know that the Seahawks will
next select at one nine two, so we are seven
picks away from their next selection unless John Schneider makes
(11:31):
his fourth trade here on day number three and moves
out of that spot. But right now, we're planning on
announcing pick one ninety two to the Seahawks here in
a matter of moments, and then they will still have
three seventh round selections to go before all is said
and done. So there you go. There's your date. Now
you are up to speed, So why don't we take
(11:53):
a quick little break and then we'll align some analysis
for you from some of the smart people in this room.
So we'll I'm back on the other side and get
you set up for that next Sea Hawks selection as well.
Chuck Powell with you, Jessemon McIntyre, Jackson Felts, and a
crew of one thousand experts here on Sports Radio ninety
three point three KJRFM.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Welcome to the NFL Draft.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Now back to the Virginia Mason Athletics Center and the
twenty twenty five NFL Draft and brought to you by
gors Light, by R and R Foundation specialists, the Queen
Anne Beer Hall, and by Fox thirteen on Sports Radio
ninety three point three kJ r FL.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
I've played a lot of HVAC, a lot off the
Boss stuff which correlates, but in terms of traditional I formation.
I played a little bit freshman and sophomore year with
coach O'Bryan office the coordinator, but not I didn't really
get in too many reps in these past two years,
but I would like to think them more than natural Edit.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Boots, they did it again. Robbie Oots has been added
to the Seattle Seahawks with their most recent pick, seventy
fifth overall and the fifth round. Good afternoon, everyone, It
is KJA RS coverage of the NFL Draft, Award winning
coverage of the NFL Draft. We continue. We've got a
pick coming up here in a matter of moments, and
(13:17):
I'm trying to align it so that our guest here
that we've brought on set can be here to give
us some instant analysis when they take at one ninety two.
Riley Leonard, by the way, just came off the board,
the quarterback out of Notre Dame one nine to the
Indianapolis Colts, who are picking again, then the Eagles, then
the Seahawks at one ninety two. So we will deliver
(13:38):
that pick to you here in a matter of moments,
and we will have Corbyn Smith react to it while
we've got him here at our set. How are you man?
You join the draft?
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Oh yeah, this is a whirlwind day three here abou
Seattle's got four picks the next fifty. Yeah, so Barty,
kind of a crazy end of the day because you
know how fast the picks go this time of the draft,
and so we have that many of them. Yeah, you
start analyzing one pick and then you turn around and
there's another one being made. So I guess that's better
than sitting and doing nothing for three hours.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Well, I mean, John keeps it interesting. Three trades already,
three picks and four more to go. So let's just
focus here on day number three. What has happened thus far?
And I think maybe that lead story is Sam How's
no longer a Seahawk.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Yeah, but look, we were talking about it up there
in the here in the media room. As soon as
Jalen Milroe got picked yesterday, I thought he already had
two feet out the door. Now you got the door
knob hitting me of the back, so that he was
pushed out.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
There was nowhere.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
There's no way you can have that many quarterbacks in
your roster. Mike McDonald tried to act yesterday like, oh,
we can get reps for all these guys. You can't
get reps for five quarterbacks, especially with the way that
abbreviated practice time is in the off season now. So
it the writing has been on the wall for quite
some time.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Have you been have you been moved? If you will?
Maybe that's the wrong word though, by not just getting
to interview Jalen Milroe get to know him a little
bit better, but by everybody that has spoken about him,
including Robbie Oots moments ago, nothing but praise for this
young man.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
Yeah, nothing that's being said is surprising to me. You
know my evaluation. I had a fourth round grade on him,
but it had nothing to do with the character. He's
a high character guy. Work ethic unprecedented work ethic, and
as Robbie Utz pointed out, those are not issues. The
problem is things away from the physical tools. You know,
(15:28):
sometimes struggling with progressions, reading, coverages, pocket presence for being
a super athletic guy. There are a lot of times
in film you see that there's some struggles in that regard.
Knowing that the pressures bearing down on him and being
able to get out of the pocket takes some sacks
that you shouldn't take. So those are the things that
need to improve, and the short intermediate passing game is
accuracy can sometimes betray him.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
It's weird.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
He has maybe the best deep.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Ball mechanics in this entire draft, but then when you
look at the short intermediate throws, his throwing mechanics can
get out of whack and it leads to an inconsistent accuracy.
So it's kind of an odd profile when you look
at it from that perspective.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
But he's got trades you can't teach. Yeah, And so
to me, we were talking about it before the pig
was made yesterday.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
I thought there might be a chance they might go
down that road because he was still available. They had
a thirty visit with him. But four three nine you
can't teach that at the quarterback position.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, I mean I watched that game against Georgia. That
first half he looked like Lamar Jackson and you know
John Elway had merged, but it wasn't as consistent as
you wanted to see. Corbyn Smith is with us from
Locked On podcast and also the Emerald City Spectrum where
he's now anders Hurst Boss and orders him around on
a regular basis. Andrews just a little bit. Andrews will
(16:41):
be taken over the show at three o'clock, but before
that he'll be washing Corbyn's car. Anyway, let's get back
to a couple of other things before the pick comes up.
Here at one ninety two, we are moments away from that.
The Eagles pick is in, and so the Seahawks are
on the clock right now. Miles Hinton of Michigan just
went and we're gonna get Corbyn's reaction to the next
Seahawks pick here in a matter of moments. Let's spot
(17:03):
talk about Boots a little bit, because just a fascinating
element of we were serious, we're going to use a
fullback this year.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
And I love it, and I'm old school in that regard,
and Seattle has had to get back to the physicality.
This is just another pick that tells you that this
is becoming Mike McDonald's team because and he mentioned it
when we were just talking to him, Patrick Riccard that
big bodied, not quite big enough to be an offensive lineman,
but a little bit too big to be a tight end.
(17:31):
In today's NFL, We're gonna put you in the backfield
and let you just blow dudes up. And he said
he'd rather block than score. A touchdown like that got
me super excited. I'm an old school guy, love the
high formation, strong, strong eye.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Let's bring it back and Clint Kobiak uses it.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
I mean his fullback, Adam Prentiss last year played a
ton for New Orleans. So he's gonna use this kid
if he comes in and he's natural like he says
he is. And you know a lot of people were
joking about, well, he did have a fast forty. He
has a pretty good short shuttle in three cone time.
I mean four point three to four seconds in the
short shuttle at two hundred and seventy four pounds is
(18:06):
pretty darn good change of direction skills and I'm looking
at that more than speed when it comes to a fullback.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, well he ran like a four to seven forty,
but his mustache crossed at four to three. So it's
a monster. It's a monster. I'm telling you all right,
the pick us in for the Seahawks. We're gonna find
it out in a second here with Corbin and get
his immediate reaction to it. And so I'm sitting here
(18:32):
on the fence because I want to ask him.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
About gotta have a defensive lineman an interior defensive lineman
or a corner. Those are the two positions they have
not covered yet that I'm a little surprised they haven't.
But we'll see who they end up going with here.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah, this kind of froze here for a second on
us earlier. So can I ask you for a fifteen second?
Does Tory Horton satisfy the need for seed before you
ask that? I'm sorry, we have the pick here? Oh
you do have the pick? Yeah, okay, cabledo, he's a okay, Kansas.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
This now, okay, this is incredible.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
This is now the fifth player out of seven that
had been drafted by the Seahawks that had an official
thirty visit. So if you think those don't matter, I
mean John Schneider. I did the research on this going
into this draft. John Schneider since twenty eleven, going into
this draft, almost twenty percent of his draft picks.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
And these are the ones that were reported.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
There might have been some guys that had visits that
we just didn't know about almost twenty percent of them.
So some teams it might not be a big deal.
For this franchise, it absolutely is. And this year, Yeah,
we're now at five out of the seven picks have
been official thirty visits, and this guy's really athletic. He's
played tackle, but he's got kind of short arms. I'm
anticipating that they are gonna move him inside to guard
(19:46):
and maybe he gets a look at center.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
It's one of those guys that has the athleticism to.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Be able to do it. It's just gonna be a
little bit of a project getting him inside.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Rob was talking about him earlier, Your buddy, Rob rang.
Bryce Cabldo six foot six inches tall, three hundred and
fifteen pounds out of Kansas is the most recent selection.
The Seahawks do add another offensive line piece to go
along with Gray's Abel here in the draft. So while
I've got you Gray's Abel, Bryce Capaldo added to the
(20:14):
offensive line enough.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
I think at this point they've done enough. I don't think.
Here's the thing.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
I'm a subscriber to the idea that Christian Haynes still
has a very bright future. It didn't work with Scott
Huff last year, and that's why he's not the line
coach anymore. Yeah, I think that John Benton is going
to be able to maximize his ability in this scheme
with his athleticism. He's got a great zone blocking tape
at Yukon. I just think he's going to be a bet.
I think he's gonna be more comfortable in this offense.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
That squeeze one more in Tory Horton. Satisfy your need
for speeded wide receiver. He does.
Speaker 7 (20:46):
And listen, he ran in the four fours just coming
back from that injury. But he told his four to
three five is what he ran before. That is what
I had been told that he had been running in.
So this guy has the ability to win downfield. They
didn't have great quarterback play sistantly at Colorado State. I
think Sam Darnold or Jalen Millroe. Jalen Milroe can throw
the ball a country mile. This is going to be
(21:08):
the guy that gives you that vertical stretching ability. He's
one of the he's I would say, one of the
five best vertical receivers in this draft. And he gets
size and the ability to high point the football.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
With him too at six foot two.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Great stuff. I'm gonna let you get back to work.
You didn't wear that tie just to talk to me.
I guarantee you that. So. Corbyn Smith from Locked On
Seahawks podcast. Also Emerald City Spectrum joining us here. Some
great analysis. Nice work, Corbyn really really happy with you
right now, really happy with the work you've done. And
he's going to go now back to work. And in
(21:40):
a moment here, I'm sure we are going to hear
from Bryce Cabaldoo. Hopefully we're pronouncing that the right way.
I'm probably drafting this, but you know, I don't know
them all. And yet Rob Rang and Corbyn Smith seemed
to know them all. And Rob was talking about this
guy earlier. So he was somebody on Rob's wish list
for the Seahawks, and and they must have been listening.
(22:01):
They satisfy it by taking the six ft six inch
three hundred and fifteen pounder out of Kansas. I'm gonna
read the pre draft analysis for you. Cable Doo may
need to move from tackle to guard in the NFL.
That's what Corbin said. He fires off the ball and
gets good initial push in the running game. He's effective
combo blocking and takes sound angles climbing two linebackers. He
can seal the edge and work up to the second
(22:22):
level on zone runs. He's quick and explodes into his
pass set Cabaldoo's hand placement is inconsistent that he moves
well enough to mirror and is strong enough to anchor
when he lands his punch and latches on as a
pass blocker. That from Steve Munch from ESPN. It's just
the first one that I happened to come across. But
(22:42):
Bryce Cabaldoo is the selection there at one ninety two
for the Seahawks there fourth of the day, and we
believe they still have three to go. Two twenty three,
two thirty four, and two thirty eight will be the
seventh round selections as of now for the Seahawks. But man,
we got a lot of good information there from Corbin
(23:03):
in a short period of time about this entire draft
for the Seahawks, and I think that probably does. I mean,
you never know, they could still get something like center possibly,
but the fact that they went with their first round
pick Gray Zabel, and so you are kind of assuming
that that's a starter for this team on opening day,
(23:27):
then maybe you didn't need as many offensive linemen to
satisfy your great offensive line need. Maybe they don't want,
they don't need competitions everywhere if they're kind of counting
on Zabel being a starter on this team, and that's
what it sounds like he's going to be. So maybe
not as many bites at the apple here at offensive line.
(23:49):
This probably does satisfy at these two guys.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Well, yeah, and I'm really interested too.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
I really like what Corbin said just about how Huff
was just not the right guy for Christian Haynes. And
now you have John Benton come in under Clint Kubiak,
and you've got not just a new offensive flying coach,
but you have a whole new offense. And so some
of the pieces that do exist within the system right
now could be retooled, and actually we could see more
success with that, and it looks like they're just adding
(24:14):
to bolster the talent that they already have.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
If you get a healthy Aid.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Lucas and a retool Christian Haynes and then whatever you're
gonna if Olu can finally you know, get going at center,
I mean, you're looking at a massive upgrade if all
things go the way that we are positively looking at it.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Well, Sindell and Olu in competition, I don't think anybody
has it right now. If anybody's written on the depth chart,
it's in pencil. But they seem to like both of
those guys and seem to think both can get the
job done. So I hope Seawk fans because I know
going into this process it was just all about you
have to get an offensive line. If you take a
wide receiver, I'll murder you in your sleep, you know.
(24:52):
And so hopefully Seyork fans are satisfied with what they've
done on the offensive line thus far in draft, and
they do still have three selections to go, so they
could add something else. But it really does feel like
there was just we're gonna go get the guys we want.
I mean that sort of thing. I mean, to have
(25:13):
moved up as aggressively as they did to get Nick,
Emm and Warri who just felt I remember, going back
to the draft, Miss Catalog, I said it about em
and Warri, and I said it about Zabel both. They
just kind of felt like Seahawk draft picks, you know,
even before we got to Thursday and lo and behold
they end up in the Seahork uniform. Greg told us
(25:33):
Greg Bell in the last couple of weeks leading up
to the draft that he kept bringing up the name
Jaylen Milroe and so he obviously has smelled something on
the air about their interest in Jalen Milroe, and so
that happens, and I think we all expected them to
add some speed healthy Tory Horton does kind of seem
like he satisfies that out of Colorado State. I mean
(25:57):
it's fifth rounder. I mean we're not gonna count on
him being a starr, but somebody that might be able
to develop into that. And Marquez Veldes scantling if nothing else,
buys you some time to see what you got.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Yeah, I like it a lot, and just considering, you know,
he could be, you know, a spot package guy. And
you know, we talked about his most prideful part of
his game is being a vertical threat. Obviously he has
the speed as well, but just being able to spread
the field out. It might be good for situational uh,
situational packages. Yeah, we are being rejoined by Corbyn.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
He's got something.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
I just okay, I'm a huge subscriber to the relative
Athletic score.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
I think it's a really cool facet when you're looking
at this.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
But what's mine just judging by judging my opinion.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
Right, So Bryce cap will do the new draft pick
for the Seahawks. If you look at him from a
tackle perspective, this is really fascinating. The two players that
are the closest comps athletically and when you look at
his size and all this testing are Toronto Armstead and
Ray Shawn Slater. So you're talking too guys that those guys.
So he actually has thirty three inch arms. They're listing
(27:03):
him as a guard. I'm wondering if that's fluid here,
because he's play he's gotten long enough arms and that
athleticism is at elite level. But if you move him
to the guard spot, he is a nine point nine
to one out of ten. Wow, so he's even higher
on the scale.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Well, the versatility we were just talking about is something
that versatile.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
On the athleticism without sacrificing size sounds like what they're after.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Yeah, this is a fascinating pick.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
A little bit like the Gray's Abel profile. Not necessarily
that they're the same player, but.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
They said they were going to be, you know, necessarily
trying to fit a box with these athletics athletic metrics,
but clearly that's what they're looking for and they should
be in this own scheme all right. I thought that
was a very interesting you guys, all right, I appreciated guys.
THENK you appreciate Corbyn Smith coming back here to update us.
He never did give me my score. He just got
(27:57):
away without that. I can enter it myself, is that right?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Enter your stats.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
I really liked that because he was listed as a
guard when he was drafted, but the profile that you
read on ESPN dot com said he might have to
move from tackle to guard, so you know, he's being
listed as guard everywhere. Obviously, he played tackle in college,
so I wonder if his stats just shaded guard more
than they did tackle and that's why. But that is
that is really interesting that he has the arm length
(28:27):
to be able to play on the outside.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah. Well, we're still a little bit away from the
next selection that doesn't come until two twenty three. We
are a one ninety seven, and so since I've got
a little bit of time, there's something that I have
to get in in my three hours. Here do it.
There was a pick earlier today, and I don't know
how many people saw it, but Baron sorel Out of
Texas was taken by the Green Bay Packers in round
(28:50):
number four and If anybody listens to Sports Rader ninety
three point three KJRFM in the mornings to Chuck and Buck,
then you know what a spectacle we make out of
the draft this month every single year, something that I
have entitled Draft miss and Man was the draftmas spirit
alive and well for this selection. If you didn't see it,
(29:12):
this is somebody that decided, hey, you know what, I'm
not really being projected as a first rounder, but I
just want to be a part of this process. Dreamed
about it my entire life. And so he stayed for
day number one in the green room, for day number
two in the green room, and then was there in
day number three, the only guy that was there for
all three days. But he just wanted to have the problem.
(29:34):
He knew he wasn't going to be a first round pick,
but he wanted to be there in the green room,
walk on the stage, hug Roger Goodell, which, by the way,
those things get more seductive every year. I don't know
what Roger is doing, but it's kind of gotten beyond
creepy at this point. I mean, you shouldn't wrap your
leg around the other guy's leg. Roger.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
So he wanted to pick up a lot more.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, So he wanted to do the hug and put
on the hat and everything else, and it just so happens.
He gets rewarded in that process by being taken by
the team hosting the draft, the Green Bay Packers, and
so in Green Bay fans there were as many there
today as there were Thursday night. One hundred thousand Packer
(30:18):
fans were there to root this guy on in his moment,
so it was all worth it. He comes out on
the stage, he gets treated like C three po on indoor.
I mean they're like practically carrying them around on their shoulders.
Like he said, God, he goes out on an extra
stage and is in the middle of him, and one
hundred thousand Packer fans are like, welcome to Wisconsin, Welcome
(30:39):
to the National Football League, welcome to football heaven all
of that. And he got to soak all of that up.
And why because he put his ego aside and said,
I've dreamed about this on my entire life. I don't
care when I get drafted. I want to be drafted
and I want to do the whole thing. I want
Roger Goodell to hug me. I want to put on
(31:01):
the hat. I want to walk down that corridor and
I want to be a part of the entire process.
And he got to experience something he never dreamt that
he was going to get to experience because he had
one hundred thousand fans of the team that picked him
cheering his name.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Awesome stuff, It's so great.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
And you know what, there are a couple of different
instances that I saw Maxwell Harrison went number thirtieth overall and.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Oh he was great.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
He was hyping everybody up.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
He went third to last in the first round and
he was just everybody's hype man and.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
It was great.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
It was fantastic.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
It also reminds me of Kevin King, who was a
ub cornerback who was drafted by Babe.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
We'll get back to that after this.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
All right, we're going to go up to the podium.
We're gonna hear from the most recent to draft pick.
This is Bryce cabldoo Race.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
You've played a lot of football in your college days.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Where have you improved the most from your freshman year
till now?
Speaker 8 (31:56):
I think the place I've improved the most is just
my knowledge for the actual game of football. You know,
I think the more you understand it. The more you
become a student of the game, the easier football is
for you. So, you know, just learning how to watch film,
learning how you know, learning all the different techniques, watching
as much film as you possibly can. And I just think,
I just, uh turn, learn how to become a pro.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
When you had your top thirty visit out here, what
did they tell you and give you an idea that
you're the Seahawks are gonna pick you? Uh yeah, kind of?
You know.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
Whenever I went out there, it was you know, I
had an amazing time. I loved Seattle, and I talked
to some of the some of the coaches. I talked
to the to the GM, to the offensive line coach,
and so yeah, I didn't really have too I didn't
have too much of an idea of where they would
pick me or if they would pick me. But I
knew I was, I was in good graces with them,
and you know, I was just hopeful and thankful that
(32:49):
they ended up picking me, right, Yes, sir.
Speaker 9 (32:55):
Did every did everybody see you as a guard?
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Or yes, yeah, most teams they see me as the guard.
That's what I played at East West Shrine Bowl and
so ever since then and then and then my measurements
as well. And so you know, I think over a
lot of teams, seem valuable is a person that could
play all three interior you know, left guard, center, and
right guard and then also kick out to one of
the tackles in emergency situations.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
How much experience have you had previously at the center position?
Speaker 8 (33:23):
Not much, very very seldom. And I did a little
bit in practice during the sw West s Rine ball.
I I would be stamping before before practice and stuff
like that, and so I haven't gotten much. I've done
a lot of work this past offseason and learning center
and you know, learning how to snap the ball and
learn how all the different techniques with it, and so
you know, if that's something that they want me to do,
then you know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be ready
(33:44):
for it.
Speaker 9 (33:44):
Obviously you played a lot of tackle in college. But
what about your game do you think suits you well
as a guard?
Speaker 8 (33:51):
So I think I think I'm really quick. I'm really
quick off the ball, and that helps me. That helps
me put my body in a really good position expect
play in pass pro. And I'm able to get in
front of people in the run game. You know, I'm
quick off the ball, and so you know, I could,
I could. I'm really good at getting fitted into the defense,
into the defenders and you know, kind of open up
(34:13):
holes for running backs.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Is it true Kansas was your only power five off
or what other choices did you have?
Speaker 8 (34:20):
It was just Ku and you and m And why did.
Speaker 9 (34:24):
You not stay home in New Mexico?
Speaker 8 (34:27):
You know, I really I really liked offensive line coach
that they had at Kansas. I believed what they were
building over there was going to be special. Whenever I
whenever I took my visitor over there, I fell in
love with Kansas and the town of Lawrence. And so
as soon as I got there and I knew it
was going to be home for me.
Speaker 7 (34:41):
Which offensive lineman around the league did you spend time watching?
Speaker 8 (34:46):
I watched a lot when so I've whenever I was
in college and I was studying tackles, I would watch
a lot of Tennis sul and so I kind of
modeled my game after him at tackle. And since I've
been transitioning in the guard, I watched a lot of
Zach Martin Quinn minors and Will Fries.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
What'd you think of playing guard?
Speaker 6 (35:08):
The limited chances you had to play play it at
the Shrine Bowl and such.
Speaker 8 (35:14):
Yeah. No, Well, whenever, whenever I got the East West
Shrine Bowl, I had, I had some really really good
coaches over there, and whenever I never asked them to
stick me at guard, and they did. From where I started,
as from day one until the final game was a
whole lot was a really big difference. You know, I
got better every single day and so you know, I'm
(35:35):
pretty comfortable playing guard now. That's all I've been working
on this past offseason. And so whenever time to put
the paths on, you know, I think I'm going to shine.
Speaker 9 (35:42):
Can you clarify a pronunciation of your last name?
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Able do?
Speaker 9 (35:48):
If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
You're the first person from native of New Mexico to
be drafted since twenty nineteen?
Speaker 9 (35:55):
Is that correct?
Speaker 8 (35:57):
I to be honest, I really don't know how.
Speaker 9 (36:00):
Much pride do you take it New Mexico And it's
not exactly a hotbred for NFL players, But like you said,
leaving home to make it what you did at Kansas
and now get draft in the NFL.
Speaker 8 (36:11):
Yeah, no, for sure. You know, I know I love
I love New Mexico born and raised there. My entire
family lives here in New Mexico. You know, I love
the food, I love the people, and you know, you know,
I have a lot of product being from New Mexico,
being one of only being a very seldom group out
of New Mexico that's ever been drafted that's from New Mexico.
(36:32):
And so you know, you know, I have so much
love and so much pride from being out of New Mexico.
Speaker 9 (36:36):
You're you're in clothes now.
Speaker 8 (36:38):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 9 (36:39):
At your family home?
Speaker 8 (36:42):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 9 (36:42):
What was the setting for the call on your cell phone?
In your house? Some people take a walk, walk their dog.
Speaker 8 (36:47):
What were you doing? No, I had My whole family
showed up and so there we were just waiting to
have the living room for a couple of hours, waiting
for the call. You know, my dad, my dad was
on the smoker today. He made a he made some ribs,
some port and a pork butt, and so you know,
we we had some food, just eat eating, having a
good time, playing a little bit of cornhole until I
(37:07):
got the call. Absolutely, I'll send you the address.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Rice.
Speaker 9 (37:13):
What do you know about some of the Seahawks. They've
had a couple offensive long Hall of Famers. Do you
know anything about some of the players.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
No, No, sir, I really do not. I need to
start looking at that, you know, because you know, since
since I'm going to be a seahawk.
Speaker 7 (37:30):
Did you meet with Steve Hutchinson when you were here?
Speaker 8 (37:34):
I do not believe.
Speaker 9 (37:35):
So no, I didn't mean to trip you up the question.
And let me ask another one in terms of guard
to tackle, what what's the do you change the mindset there?
Speaker 1 (37:44):
What that's? What?
Speaker 8 (37:44):
What is that?
Speaker 9 (37:45):
What's going to be like for you?
Speaker 8 (37:47):
Yeah, so it's it's it's a little bit quicker. You know,
guys are in your faith a whole lot faster. It's
a little it's a you have to use a little
bit more strength, you know. I tackle, you could be
a little bit prettier, you know, you're you use your
legs a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
You know.
Speaker 8 (37:59):
I it's you know, very very physical, very in your
face at all times. And yeah, you know, you have
to be extremely aware. And so you know, like I said,
I think I'm pretty quick off the ball. I've been
working on my hand placement all my striking. I've I've
always been pretty strong, and so I think going from
guard or starry from tackle to guard is going to
suit me really well.
Speaker 9 (38:19):
Do you feel like you're run blocking your past blocking
is a little bit ahead of one or the other.
Speaker 8 (38:25):
I think as of right now, my run blocking is
a little bit ahead of my past blocking.
Speaker 9 (38:29):
And do you have a favorite run paves or block more?
Speaker 8 (38:34):
Oh? Oh yeah, absolutely. You know I love white zone,
front side of wide zone, backside of white zone. You know,
I think you could really just uh it's you really
just get to run off the ball as fast as
you can and hit someone as hard as you can,
you know, and you know you start when you get
those defenders running a little bit, You get them out leverage.
(38:54):
And that's whenever you get guys on the ground.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Good.
Speaker 9 (38:59):
Thank thank thank you, Bryce, Thank you.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
Ch do hang up just yet.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
I'm gonna chuck. Brice cable Doo out of Kansas the
sixth round selection for the Seahawks, one hundred and ninety
two overall. They're listing him as a guard. Played tackle
in college with the Jayhawks. Known a little bit more
for basketball than football, but athletic six foot six inches tall,
three hundred and fifteen pounds and the second offensive lineman
(39:25):
taken in this draft. Process twenty twenty five by John
Schneider and his staff for the Seattle Seahawks. They still
have three selections to go two twenty three, two thirty four,
and two thirty eight. By the way, if they wanted
to Cable Due's teammate Kobe Bryant, that's right, Kobe Bryant
cornerback for Kansas could be a seventh round selection. John
(39:45):
Schneider has the opportunity to set the record for most
Kobe Bryant's on a roster in the history of the
National Football League, a record that will never be broken.
The old record was zero. We would have two. There's
no way. It's like Tony Dorsett's ninety nine yard touch
down run. That record could not ever be beaten. So
I don't know if he wants to play those games,
he can, but I think they need a cornerback too,
(40:06):
and Kobe Bryant's the seventh round value, so maybe we'll
end up with two Rock Chalk Jayhawks. Before it's all
said and done. You know what happened on day number
one and day number two. I'll recap that for you
in our next hour. But if you are just joining us,
here's what's happened today. John's made three different trades today,
and here are the four players that have landed with
(40:27):
the Seahawks. Riley Mills defensive tackle slash defensive end out
of Notre Dame. Tory Horton, wide receiver out of Colorado State.
We're going to talk about him rather extensively coming up
here at two o'clock. We'll have a special guest for
that Robbie Oots, full back out of Alabama. They weren't
kidding around. They're going to run a full back this
year in twenty twenty five. And now Bryce Cabledo has
(40:49):
been added to the roster out of Kansas. In these
sixth round three selections to go, we'll take a quick break,
come back on the other side and continue our NFL
Draft coverage here from the Virginia may An Athletic Center
