War Room Mock Draft 2.0 with Daniel Jeremiah

30:31He's one of the more tricky players for me because I love the body. I love how hard he plays. He's all the stuff off the field. Great kid. He doesn't play with a ton of snap and urgency. I have a pretty significant drop-off after the three to the next group of edges. I could see them being a sneaky Mesidor team too if they want production. I think I've given, hold on, who did I give him? I gave him Mesidor in the last mock draft that I did. It makes sense, right? Even though he's also, I have a lot of quibbles around him, which is age. All right, last pick of the first half. We've got the Jets back on the board.

31:10They took David Bailey, so they're set there. Could go in a bunch of different directions, obviously. This is where we'll start hearing Ty Simpson's name again. I am not going to consider that for the Jets, however. I don't think it makes a ton of sense I'm going to give you choice wide receiver alright you love he's higher than I would take him but you love Cooper Jr. so I'm going to throw him up as an option and the other option I'm going to give you is I'll put Thinem in here because they could use the same thing. Oh, man. Interesting. I'm going to pull this up because I think I have them. I knew I had these guys next to each other.

32:04Thinaman is my 17th player, and Cooper's my 18th player. It's also like you're considering the drop-off at safety versus receivers. Yeah, I think there are the three safeties, and then there's a little bit of a gap there. I'll take Thinamoon. Okay. They could use him. I mean, the Jets could use safety. They could use a corner. They could use... Good player. Really good player. Which is weird. I just still never got a satisfactory answer on why last year we had a safety that was that good as Iman Wari fallout. But I knew before. I mean, we talked about it beforehand that it was going to happen.

32:43But I'm still baffled by that one. Do you know who reminds me of Iman Wari the most in this draft? Style. It's not even a style. Yeah, that's funny. It just reminds me of him so much. The way he moves, like the skill set, ideally the usage in some ways too, because even more, it was basically like a linebacker at the end of the year. Yeah, ground gainers. Let's take a quick break, come back, and we're going to talk about the team I alluded to that desperately needs to tackle.

35:23Thrilled because this has been an extremely light offensive so far line draft, right? Like at this point, the only players are Ioana? Is that it? Maui Noah? Do we have Maui Noah? No, he's still here. He hasn't gone yet? He turned him down. Okay. What pick was that? I guess. Why was a while ago? Because, I mean, the Rams could have taken an attack. I'm looking at the teams. There aren't that many teams. Weirdly, this never happens. The Chiefs could have taken him, I guess. I think they have bigger needs. But yeah, like most, the Browns, you turned it down. So anyways, Lions are stoked. I'm going to give you a choice between Maui Noah and Spencer Fano out of Utah.

36:04Yeah, and that's a great combination question there because I think I initially started out with Fano and then ended up flipping to Maui Noah. They're so different stylistically. I think they'll, I'll go bigger guy, Detroit, that fits more kind of their style. So I'll take Maui Noah. And then you just kick Sewell to the left. Basically, that sounds like they're in the process of doing the Sewell thing. Yeah. I was told they love Proctor, by the way. That makes sense. Yeah. That like, you just said that and that makes perfect sense. Yeah. Build, the style. Just massive. Yeah. I like Maui Noah better, though.

36:42Yeah. there but proctor i just again like i'm you look at the theme as we've we're working our way through this thing like maybe i'm just older now like the risk i don't you know 390 pounds at one point in time that scares me yeah i thought he would have a better combine too i don't know i'd heard that he was like such a freak out he might come back uh the vikings don't need a tackle the vikings are really bummed that all the safeties are gone i know well fineman's been like i think you're I don't know that there's been a mock draft in the last month that hasn't had theenament. And I think it's a little bit of the white safety out the door, white safety in the door subconsciously, but like, yeah.

37:23Okay. So Jonathan Grenard still on the team in this scenario. So this hasn't aired yet. Be careful. That could certainly change the calculus, right? It's really changed the whole Vikings draft plan. But so we're not, we're not worried about that. It's odd. The Vikings are a team with not a lot of needs, which is kind of fascinating. It's way too early for a running back, although there's a lot of backs I like for them. I'm going to give you a choice between

37:55two defensive linemen. Okay. One, and this is early for him, but I'm going to give you Caden McDonald as a choice here. He's a player I really like. Yeah. At Ohio State. and then I'm going to throw up Peter Woods. I'd say outside, looking at the Vikings roster, outside of safety, running back, interior of the defensive line seems to me to be an area that they could very much bolster. This is a team last year was 21st in yards per game on the ground. And Caden McDonald, I went back through that clump because I have the four D tackles. I have them all as top of the second round type players, but I when you when you watch like 30 of them then you kind of stack them well then now I'm like okay well these are clearly the top four or five guys I want to go back and watch them one after another after another and I ended up moving McDonald up as my top guy because I thought he does one thing better than anybody else does one thing he's just a really good player against the run so and it's not just him you know sitting anchoring blocks stacking blocks like he gets free and he makes tackles.

39:02That's an area of need for them. I'll take the guy who does that one thing the best. There's glimpses of a pass rush, too. There's games where you see it. I think that you're betting on the come there, though. You're hoping there's more there. For sure. I did a mock where he ended up with the Bills, which I thought would be a dream for them at 26. 18's rich, but Vikings are a weird team. I don't know what to say. You know what I mean? Like, you know, it's surprising. I don't know. And I'm looking at there's not really I don't have any blue chips at this point or guys where I'm like, they just can't say no based on.

39:39All right. The Panthers are next at 19. Another team that like the roster is in surprisingly good shape. I was got to take it back looking at it. Feel like you could go in a few directions here. I am going to give you a receiver. but it's not Cooper Jr. I'm going to give you Mina Kimes' fave. Casey Concepcion. Nice. He's a good player. You can learn how to catch the ball. You can learn how to catch the ball. The whole thing, I'm an offset guy. If you have drops, you've got to offset them with explosives, and he does that. He separates so well. Also, I think his production should have been better than it was.

40:27Quarterback play. Okay, so Casey Concepcion is one option. The other choice, I'm looking at the centers here. I'm going to put a pass rusher back. I'm going to put Keldrick Falk here on the board. So you signed Jalen Phillips. You did draft. You took two shots at edge last year. Skorton showed some stuff, but I still think that they need pass rush. So Falk, this feels like the correct range for him. yeah I think he's I think he's in back of one to potentially the top of two but I'll I'll go Casey Concepcion I have him two or three spots ahead on my list so they're actually very close and how I have them stacked and uh I just think it would be fun and I'm a big believer in um when you're at when you're at decision time on the future with your quarterback and you're stuck you're stuck between an offensive player and a defensive player, take the player that's going to help you evaluate and make the biggest decision you're getting ready to make.

41:26Pairs well with McMillan. I mean, the catch-receiving group is kind of one-dimensional. Coker was good at the end. Yeah. But I feel like Casey would be the most twitched up of any of them. Run after catch, dynamic. At least run after catchability. All right. Well, okay. The Dallas Cowboys do not need a wide receiver. maybe actually depends on what their plan is George Pickens so we had earlier let's see with pick they took one of the corners right yeah they took Jermon McCoy which I love we're gonna go let's give you a choice of two pass rushers let's do Falk versus Mesidor here okay I'm gonna go I have Mesidor so I'm gonna take Mesidor and power player.

42:21Again, someone who does a lot of his better rushing inside, which will be tricky because they've got pretty good DTs there in Dallas. I think it's a perfect fit, but I'll take him over Falk here.

42:3821. Pittsburgh Steelers. All right. Another team that I thought the roster was in great shape when I looked at it, I was like, well, you're really on a lot of needs. They've got a lot of good big players. A lot of good young big guys. Surprising. They've drafted some guys I really like. Frazier's like one of the best centers in the NFL. He's really good. Terry, the offensive line is not a need. Tackle could be. I think that it is just because of that. I'm going to give you a choice between...

43:15I'll put Fano back here, the Utah tackle. and let's let's throw up proctor i could have done tyson but you're not gonna pick him so no uh let's do proctor versus spencer here who do you like better yeah yeah i'll take fano i think that's be a heck of a value pick um and then i did not think that fatanu would be there for the steelers when they got him i think he can kick over to left now like he's plenty athletic and range. You'd have two super athletic tackles. If Fano's at right and you've got Fatanu, plus we've got a Polynesian pipeline to Pittsburgh, and that's a lot of Ps. Let's go. Troy Palamalu, come on, let him introduce the pick.

43:59He might be the one introducing the pick. The Brighter Jones experiment seems to be... I don't know if it's injuries too or what, but it just feels like that might be time to find somebody else. The LA Chargers need into i run into this problem every time which is that a lot of these teams need interior offensive line and there just aren't guys in the first round the one guy is kind of gone yeah uh so i'm not going to give you the tackles obviously the choices we're going to i'm going to give you here are

44:38Sadiq's gone, right? Sadiq's gone. McDonald's gone. I was going to suggest him. Alright, we're going to throw up a receiver. Because why not? Let's put Cooper Jr. on the board. And put him against They could go past Rush, though, too. put him against this is actually not a bad falk spot okay cooper jr versus falk held her fuck i think they're in good shape with the receivers but they got the three young guys on rookie deals quentin johnson has been fine um the last couple years they love harris and they love mckonkey so really that's good news yeah they like him they like him a lot not for me last year yeah no he's Keenan took a lot of those targets so I think they like those guys Falk to me I like the idea we can keep him fresh here I have a I have Cooper graded higher but in this scenario I can be I can be talking to Falk so one year deal they need pass rush they like That defense requires guys to be kind of heavy edge setters, and that's something he can do easy.

45:59Philadelphia Eagles. The Philadelphia Eagles are in a tough spot picking right after the Chargers because I feel like they have a lot of the same needs. Like if Sadiq's there, if the edges are there. You know what I mean? It's like a lot of the same guys.

46:13Okay, so we're going to learn whether or not they're going to trade A.J. Brown if they take a receiver here. It's one of the nice things about the drafting, Keller a little bit about teams intentions. I am going to give you a receiver then. I know it's tricky because you don't know if they're going to. Yeah. But I am going to give you Denzel Boston here as an option. And in that world, you can take it saying that we're going to trade AJ. We know we want a big body, went outside the numbers, contested catch guy. Boston's it. the other option I'm going to give you is a little weird here. I'm going to give you Monroe.

47:03No, I'm going to give you Max Ihanachor. You're right there. You're right there. Here is raw, but talented. Doesn't have to play immediately. Lane Johnson is going to retire at some point or he gets hurt and we need depth there and this is what we do we're the Philadelphia Eagles we take offensive linemen who have promised and we turn them into superstars would I know these are weird choices but I don't think I've seen either of these associated with the Eagles yeah yeah I mean look we're going to be uh forthcoming here and say if Proctor was one of the options I would take Proctor you would take Proctor I would take Proctor well over IHOND short.

47:44I like the idea of insurance along the offensive line, lane insurance. It's not even just you're saying you're picking your tackle for next year. Like lane, like you don't know how many games is he going to be able to give you. So it gives me insurance there. Landon Dickerson's, he's had, you know, major health stuff that I think Proctor could kick inside and kind of fit them, give them a power guard. But in this scenario with those two options, I would, I would probably lean towards, oh gosh, do I have Boston? You hate both of these choices. okay no no hold on I have to take one I would take but you're taking you're taking Boston but you're trading AJ so yeah AJ's a patriot you're not doing this unless you're we're we're living in that world where AJ Brown is gone yeah Eagles fans are screaming he would be a good replacement for him no he's a ball winner go up and get it and we know what how Jalen Hurts wants to play he is the type of receiver you want with Jalen Hurts right so it makes sense I'm just saying no I like it.

48:42Then you also have, hold on. Cares well with Devontae. Head coach at University of Washington, Jed Fish. Howie Roseman, the lead roommates in college at Florida. Think you'll have any information on that? Wow. This is the kind of information you just don't get anywhere else. I did not know that. That's your random factoid of the day. But it's a truly random factoid. Yeah. I feel like we've made Eagles fans incredibly angry, but that's fine. Okay.

50:56So I'm thinking we're going to go... Pardon? The Doctrine? Are you going to go with the Doctrine here? I I'm going to give you Proctor Okay Different tackle And The other choice I'm going to give you Is Seems like you're a little bit cold on On a chore So I'm going to I'm going to go Freeling Who's another similar like hey maybe he doesn't have to play immediately. He's going to be awesome. You know, timeline. It's the Monroe Doctrine, Mina. Like, they're taking Monroe Freeling if he's there. Mark it down. I think they could potentially take him with their first one. No. That coffee's too rich for me, but they're hunting a left tackle.

51:54And if they're pointing towards 27, you live with the bumps along the way. I mean, he's my 20th player. Let me see. Let me double check that. Monroe Freeling, 20th. He's my 20th guy. So this is about where I have him, but I think it's possible. We're surprised he goes higher. As a Browns fan, are you thrilled if you walk out of this with Cardinal Tate and Monroe Freeling? I think so. That's a good... Yeah, I think Cardinal Tate's for right now. Freeling, you live with some of the bumps and bruises, but you're going to have the table set for your quarterback that's coming in 27. All right, the Chicago Bears.

52:31I've had trouble picking for the Bears. Especially when the safeties are gone. Yeah, when the safeties are gone. Yeah. It's weird how many teams need safeties and how few teams need tackles, which is just bizarre. Okay. I am going to give you some defensive linemen to pick from. We're going to put Peter Woods, the defensive tackle, out of Clemson back on the board. And then I'm going to introduce a pass rusher who we have not talked about at all, Cassius Howell out of Texas A &M. as an option for Chicago. Okay, I'm going to take Howell. I'm going to take just an absolute fastball. And with that offense, I think that thing's only going to go up with that group.

53:16So I want to play with the lead, and I think he's somebody that just widen him out, give him a runway, and let him go. He's a polarizing player, by the way. There are teams that really like him, and there are teams that want nothing to do with him. the second of the short-armed brothers in this draft. Yeah, you better do one thing great when you have arms like that, and Bane is power, and this dude is all get-off. I would say him and Bailey are the two elite get-off guys in this draft. It's not a bad pairing with Montez Sweat, now that I think about it. But yeah, they just need something up front.

53:52Where are you? Well, you know what? Actually, put a pin in that because I'm going to bring him back. So the Buffalo Bills, I had Field and I did a little exercise on them, and he had them taking Howell, and I had them taking Caden McDonald. Both gone. I had them taking Howell on my last one I'm looking at, too. Yeah, it makes sense. I'm going to give you two more defensive linemen. Let's put Peter Woods back. Okay. And I'm going to bring in TJ Parker, who is a player I have warmed up to. Teammates. yeah uh the the like at first i was way higher on woods first time i watched clemson i'm still high on woods i think he has really unique movement abilities frustrating player in some ways though because he's constantly in the backfield and then he just doesn't bring down the quarterback it's weird right he gets uprooted a lot too like he just plays a little flimsy he lost 20 pounds like when you watch him the year before he was 20 pounds heavier you know what the bills don't need that you know what i'm taking it off never mind now you're talking about it okay because the bills the bills really could use like a mcdonald right like a big just like boop especially with leonard and the three four okay take him off yeah t.j parker stays on uh and i'm gonna put him up against steals rich for cj allen but i'm gonna put cj allen here in linebacker yeah i'm gonna take parker and this is a buffalo team i was pulling up their stuff to 28th rushing yards per game 30th yards per carry.

55:21They were bad pressure team. They were bad defensively. I think he helped both. I think Parker, when you watch him later in the year, he was good. He was really good at the senior bowl, had a good week there. Then you go back and watch him at 24. I thought this guy might be a top 10, top 15 type pick. The rest of this year, and I don't know, sometimes you don't know what's going on. Guys are protecting themselves. The year got away from Clemson. The majority of his tape for the first part of the year was eh. but I've seen him play at a high level and he finished on a high note. So I, and all the background stuff I got on him is solid.

55:56So I'll, I'll trust him there. So at this point we've had one, two, depending on the pass rushers, three, four, Mesidor, five, six, seven. Do you think that's where this is headed or? I do. And I think it's, you know some of it is this is the class we have and there's a lot of edge rushers and some of it is just like we've talked about it before like just look at the super bowl the last two years those teams had waves and waves of dudes so even if you've got two you want three if you've got three you want four and they're ridiculously expensive to pay in free agency so if you can just continue to load up that room load up the room all right san francisco 49ers are next at 27

56:50I was hoping that like just for funsies, I wanted to see Sadiq somehow make it to them. I've tried to will it to happen. I've put him there in a couple of mock drafts. I don't think there's really much chance that happens, but just to want to watch a player in an offense, that would be so fun. Do you feel like there's a floor for Sadiq? I mean, I guess that would certainly, but like I'm looking at, because we had him going 15 to the Bucs. I feel like the Eagles maybe. I almost feel like the Chargers too even though they have some tight ends I think he would be such a weapon and such a toy for Mike McDaniel to play with so different from the tight ends they have too I know the Chargers, Gadsden is super fun he's a good player, this is a different level he's more of a receiver alright the Niners are not going to consider tight ends here no this draft, like safety, tight end there's just such a drop off at some of these positions um we got mike evans in the building christian kerr we're gonna pass on receiver i'm gonna give you a choice between it's not a great it's a dubious fit but let's put up proctor yeah and the choice is going to be

58:13would it shock you i don't know if you've done him would it shock you like if we we're sitting there and all of a sudden the 49ers just pulled a card for like malachi lawrence at the bottom of the first round like just kind of like we see these edge rusher goes and they want to just take the juiciest guy yeah i know i'm looking at you i'm looking at them right now and i'm like i'm looking at i mean i think i have him in the 40s but i mean it's not like that doesn't happen before. Because we had such a run on them as we're adding them up, you're really getting into this next tier of like, is there - Zion Young.

58:46Right. How big is there of a difference between a Zion Young and a Malachi Lawrence? You know what I mean? I'm touching each other. I have Zion Young 45 and Malachi Lawrence 46 on my list, but I would say Malachi Lawrence has more giddy up, more juice. Yeah. I really prefer some of the corners who are still on the board and they could use one they really could honestly so the choice what we got let me do two tackles screw it actually because that is proctor and i'm going to mention a guy that i haven't brought up and that's lomu out of utah okay um i was going to curious to see how i had them stacked because they're very a lot of these tackles are clumped in there together.

59:32We're in a tier. Yeah, I have Proctor higher. I would take Proctor. I know it's low move moves a little bit more like they like guys there, but I think they'd be fine there. This run scheme has evolved too in San Francisco. It gives them somebody who can really roll dudes off the line of scrimmage. Houston Texans, pick 28.

1:00:02not a lot of needs on this team either one of the needs is running back dare they no straight back sorry straight back look at the number of picks they have that's what I was trying to buy time because it's too like so they are my favorite Jadarian Price team but this is I would not take him in the first round And so I forgot, because they did a... I'm pulling out their draft picks right now. I'm trying to remember how many they actually have, because you're right, they could accumulate picks. Last year, Mina. Last year, Texans went from 25 to 34 in the Jackson Dart trade. 25 to 34. All right, so we got...

1:00:49Who picks 34? They got picks 38. I think Price will be there at 38, so I'm not going to do it. The trade is coming up. There's one more trade. I just want to make sure you promised me some trades. There's one more. We did too. There's one more. We're not going to do that. We're going to choose between... I'm going to put Woods back here because it'd be fun. The other choice I'm going to give you is a guard. I'm going to give you Pregnant, the Oregon guard here. Yeah. Yeah, I would in that scenario, I would take Woods.

1:01:40I would be, he does have the ability to get up field a little bit. I don't know if he plays, they like guys who are aggressive up the field and who play with a little violence. I don't know if he has quite that violent streak to him, but he does have a quick first step. He kind of is similar to a Sheldon Rankins. I don't think he's... I think Sheldon Rankins plays a little with a little more pop in his hands, but I think this dude has that type of quick first step stuff. The... I mean, who have you been mocking to the Texans lately? I was going to look it up here. I had him taken... Well, I did it right before they signed a guard.

1:02:20Who did they just trade for a guard or signed a guard? I had him taken Besantis. in the last one. You have Bessantes over Brigham. Well, I actually have Rutledge. I went back and went through that little clump again and I came out with Rutledge. Bessantes was like my 49th guy and I literally took him out and I put Rutledge in at 49. So it's just a one-for-one swap. There's a lot of centers I like later. Oh, dude. Logan Jones is a good player. He's ready to go. My Hecht is a good player. Hecht for certain schemes I think is just a dream, but this is why this draft is weird, right? Because you're like, oh, these guys should go in the first round.

1:02:56That's why I'm saying we're going to have to get to a place where we're comfortable. Where you're going to see Trayden Stooks, Malachi Lawrence. One of these guys that nobody's talking about as a first round pick is going to go on the bottom of the first round. All right, the Chiefs are up, but someone's on the phone. So first of all, sorry. First, I have to give you a choice. You said the trade, the trade option. The Chiefs took Jordan Tyson. Did they take Tyson or was that the one they messed up? Or they took Delane. Delane. Yeah, Delane. Sorry. So the Chiefs do need a receiver.

1:03:35And Omar Cooper Jr. It's still here. That's probably my next highest receiver. So I'm going to give you Rishi Rice replacement perhaps. Some similarities there. We saw the yak. He's such a fundamental player. You know who he is? He's a better Juju Smith-Schuster is what he is. That's a fun comp. The option also, though, so you can take Omar Cooper Jr., who I legitimately think day one you drop him in that Chiefs offense and he would be pretty good. Yeah, he'd be great. If he catches the football well, smooth. Well, I know of inside-outside. However, the Arizona Cardinals are on the phone. and let me pull up their draft picks they are they're wanting to try it up for trade up for ty simpson because they're worried the dolphins are going to pick him at pick 30 try to come with the tyson's and the cardinals are offering the chiefs in exchange for pick 29 pick 34 which is early and also which is not a significant drop will give you next year's third 29 to 34 for next year's three is that rich enough?

1:05:02I think I'd want Because the Falcons got – that was so stupid. Can I counter and say, like, could I get, like, next year's three and this year's four? Okay. Fine. I'll do that. Okay. So do you feel – but, like, do the Chiefs really need a receiver? Cooper Jr.? Like, how do you feel about him versus that next year? Yeah. I think there's other guys. I think they can find other guys. I love Cooper Jr. You know he's one of my guys. But I'd be fine rolling the dice there, taking my chances, especially because we had the Jets take one early, right? And their pick, I think we had them taking a wide out somewhere, didn't we?

1:05:44The Jets, who do we have taking, let me scroll back up. The Jets took Bailey and then the Jets took, no, Thineman. Oh yeah, they did not take a receiver. Yeah, you probably could be in the risk of losing Cooper then with their pick at the top of the second. I think I would still do the trade. Okay. there's some other interesting receivers that i feel like would make sense for kansas city i he not that i think about it though because i haven't really thought about him it is a really nice fit uh the dolphins are devastated but they're heartened by the fact that elmer cooper jr is still available so yeah so we're going to choose between cooper jr the dolphins for those we've forgotten took downs.

1:06:29I love that combination. They were the trade. No, no. Yeah. They took downs and then in our trade scenario. Yeah. What do you want to call it? The Bengals had to skip out. They saw him go away. All right. So Cooper jr. For the dolphins, or I'm going to give you Avion Terrell. Cooper. There he goes. All right. No need to discuss 31. The new England Patriots also sad because they really like Cooper jr. let me take Cooper Jr man all the receivers really went off the board then because Cooper Jr that makes 1, 2, 3, 4 yeah that's a lot don't love the receivers here don't love the value you're getting that so I'm going to give you a choice between definitely don't need corner I don't love the pass rushers even though that's the biggest area of need.

1:07:27We'll go Zion Young here. It's so like, Zion Young versus

1:07:43Iannature. I will take, oh man. Curious to see. I think I have these guys pretty close.

1:08:00I'm going to take the offensive lineman. Yeah, I'm going to take my Honich for it. I really like him. He's got a lot in his body. If you said who maxed out, like the two guys, if they maxed out and became what they're capable of, him and Freeling, it would be a debate, I think, of who has the most physical ability. That's why I like him for New England. He doesn't have to play immediately. per se you know it's there's some flexibility there um because uh morgan moses is the right tackle and he's got like one year left so yeah away no is not a he's not super young either i don't think a guard so yeah i think the patriots just got to keep throwing resources at it yeah especially with the receivers gone all right final pick of this draft the seahawks really hoping to be trade partners with arizona but it's not in the cards literally so we're gonna go with a couple of corners.

1:08:55They have some fun options actually at corner. I actually think this could shake out really nicely for them. I mean, you're looking at just to name some of the guys. Terrell, who feels a little bit not the right fit for them. Colton Hood, fun, physical. Pons, Chris Johnson, who we both like. I'm going to give you a choice between Colton Hood, the Tennessee corner, and Chris Johnson, the San Diego State corner. It's two of my favorite players. I have a higher grade on Hood, but I don't think there's a wrong answer. I love Chris Johnson. That, to me, is the tradeback. If you ask me the two guys that I think make the most sense for Seattle on a tradeback, Chris Johnson would be number one, and I could see R.

1:09:46Mason Thomas filling that role as another rusher for them, but thrown to the mix there. He kind of plays – he kind of reminded me a little bit of Chenna when Chenna was coming out. Interesting. He's – you know, those are two guys I think would be great fits. But I'm a Colton Hood guy. We're taking Hood. Hood, I think, is a really nice fit. It's tough, too. He'll tackle. Yeah. All right. There we go. Nobody really – is there anyone in this draft that surprises you that fell out of the first run? Well, Blake – I think Blake Miller's probably – I think he'll probably go on one. I have him in there.

1:10:19but it's, I don't think there's him versus Ihanichur. I think Blake Miller is safer. Yeah. Um, but that's, uh, that's the only one I can think of off the top of my head. Are we missing anybody else? I don't think so. I, but that, that's what happened last time too. And I think that just reflects this draft. Yeah. Like, cause the last year when we did this, I was like, Oh man, this guy fell out. And this time I'm not, I guess Peter Woods maybe, Oh, no, no, he went 28. He went. Yeah, he's gone. Banks has the injury. So, yeah, I don't know. To me, and I think there's – I was asked about the linebackers.

1:10:57I think we could see all of those off-the-ball linebackers go, like, in the top 12 to 15 picks in the second round. Like, they all go there. I think they have so much trouble taking them in the first round after. It's like, oh, I don't know. Yeah. But I think we'll see a day-two run. I think those guys will end up being good players. But I just – I don't know if I have a home form in round one. Well, Casey Concepcion to the Panthers is my new sneaky favorite, which I haven't done in any other draft looking at this. So, all right, guys, that's it for now. We'll be back later this week to talk about the wide receivers, tight ends, and offensive linemen.

1:11:33And I will be joining Daniel and Greg's podcast, I think, on April 10th. So look up, but you should check it out anyways, 40s and Free Agents. Also check out Daniel literally everywhere talking about the draft. Thank you so much for making the time to do this with us today. This was fun. I appreciate it.
