War Room Mock Draft 3.0 with Dane Brugler

29:22and I am going to give, oh, God, now I'm looking at, okay, so I'm going to put Fano back between Mananoa and Ioane would be such an area of need for them. But also, are you comfortable passing up at Maunoa on Maunoa here? Yeah.

29:45I'm going to give you a choice between Fano and Ioane here. Is it crazy to have Maunoa dropping like this? I know everyone seems to have him as offensive lineman one, but I don't see a player who's that differentiated personally. Well, and I think it's more so just the fact that he very easily could have gone third, right? And so to see him fall a little bit is a little, wait, what? You know, just a little surprising, but I don't know. Nothing surprises me in this top 10, this top 15. I'd be surprised if he's still around, but who knows? That's kind of the fun of this exercise. Stan Moore Jr. Like, I mean, I'm just thinking through like, that's not, that shouldn't stop you from drafting a tackle.

30:33Freeling also could be in consideration here. Do they view J.C. Latham as the long-term right tackle? Do they think they need to move him? I don't, it's, that's a tough call. Mauinoa could also play. All right, you know what, let me back it up. Mauinoa versus Fano, just do it. Let's do that. Okay. Well, and honestly, I'm still going to go Fano in this situation, just because I think he's the best offensive lineman in the draft. And I think that with the Titans specifically, they're looking for help across the interior, guard and center. And I think Fano, you feel like he can play tackle, guard, or center.

31:10There's a lot of versatility there. The athlete is awesome. The way he plays, when they needed a yard, they ran it behind him. Some of those skip pulls, the skip power pulls are awesome on tape. So I'm going to go Fano. I think he's an ascending player, best offensive lineman in the draft. And so if I'm the Titans, I'm over the moon happy that I get him in a tradeback situation. The Rams at 13, Tyson or Maunoa? Maunoa they would view as their right tackle, potentially, of the future here. The Rams have capable offensive tackles. Yeah, Warren McClendon. But it would be hard for them to not consider it at pick 13.

31:50A guy who, like we talked about, folks that could be drafted top five. Right. So it would be tough to pass on the receiver here. And honestly, it might be tougher if my option was Concepcion, just because it'd be fun to drop them in that offense. But I'm going to go with the offensive lineman here. It's, you know, offensive lineman, you almost need six or seven on the roster, right, to feel good about your situation for a long season. and Maui Noah. He was only a right tackle in college, and so the ability to play other positions is more of a potential thing than a realized thing, but I'm going to go with the tackle here.

32:34The Ravens are thrilled that Jordan Tyson is available as an option at pick 14. However, I alluded to this, the most chalkiest pick, Ioane, the most obvious need, also just perfect scheme fit, makes a ton of sense. you go and flash or you go and subs, well, I'd not say the tights, not substitute, but we shooting for the moon here. Are we taking the safer pick? Uh, yeah. And I, I mean, I, part of me doesn't want to go chalk, but I think I'm going to, um, just cause I love you one day and what he brings to an offensive line. And there's some questions too about him. Is he a left guard only? Can he, you know, play right guard too?

33:14Can he play. We'll figure it out. I mean, I just, I love the tape, the way he moves, the way he can be an athletic bulldozer. Um, uh, the offensive line has been a little up and down for me over the last few years. So we're going to help help rectify that with a player like this. All right. It was like a trenches draft for the Ravens. So, you know, I think that fits. Well, we got a little run on the trenches here, right? With three offensive linemen going, I probably should have, like I said, offered more earlier, but it's just how the cookie crumbled. All right. Tampa Bay Bucs are not taking an offensive lineman in my draft.

33:47It's pick 15. They're one where, you know, the need is so glaring in terms of getting a pass rusher. Right. But you do wonder about the timing of it. So I'm going to give you one pass rusher, and that's Akeem Mesidor here. Over Keldrick Falk, okay. Over Keldrick Falk versus, I'll put Kenyon Sadiq up for the first time. the tight end out of Oregon.

34:17That is tough. And I think in real life, it's tough as well. Because you're right, edge rusher just by far feels like where they need to go. But do they like any of these guys beyond the top three, whether it's Keldrick Falk or Mesador? And I mean, usually Jason Light's a guy that leans towards younger players in the first round. I think Vita Vea was the only one that was over 22 years old. So in real life, it's tough as well. I'm going to lean offense here and go Sadiq. You know, you can argue that with Chris Godwin and his injury issues, like maybe wide receivers a little more of a need than what just looks like on paper.

34:59I don't have a true weapon per se at tight end. I have a solid tight end group. I like that tight end group. But adding someone else like this, a weapon like Sadiq, who has speed, has the ability to win in different ways. I'm going to give that type of toy to play with for Baker Mayfield. Would you have taken Falk over, Sadiq? That would have been closer. I am a believer in Falk. What he's going to be four years from now is a lot different than what he is now. I think that was my thing. I was like, the Bucs should be in win now mode. That's kind of why I went in Mesidor because he's the more polished prospect.

35:37but like it's a he's the gm doesn't work that way to your point he takes a long view he's why he's a very good gm and so he might show some patience there um it's an interesting spot right it's an interesting they're probably a best player available team right just because they're that could be yoana if he's there um like i don't we weren't talking a ton about ameka buka in the first round of the bucks last year but now in hindsight obviously not just because of buka had a good rookie year but Mike Evans had moved on and like it just it looks like that was 100 % the right pick the Jets round out the first half of the first round they had Arvel Reese with their second overall pick and with pick 16 uh could go in literally any direction this team not literally most directions Tyson obviously is going to be a matter of for consideration Jordan Tyson the receiver but you mentioned him Concepcion you said you like him so I'll throw him up here as an alternative, would you go Concepcion or Tyson if you were the Jets?

36:38Yeah, that's tough because I do like Concepcion and just how dynamic he is, just what he can do with the ball in his hands, both as a receiver and even as a punt returner as well. But I'm going to go with Tyson here. I do think he is, if you told me he's going to start an average of say 15 games a year, the next four or five years, he might be in contention to be the first receiver drafted. I think it really just comes down to the durability questions. Like I said, I like the ability, the B.S. Stephon Diggs-like weapon for that offense. Pair him with Garrett Wilson, whoever's that quarterback, I think that makes sense.

37:17All right, let's take a quick break. Come back and get to the second half of the first round. Oh, oh, oh, O 'Reilly. Check engine, ABS, or maintenance light on.

GLP-1 weight loss shots are popular. They're everywhere.

38:31But not everyone is thrilled about weekly injections. So what if your GLP-1 was as easy to take as a mint? That's why I want you to know about compounded terzepatide. It's a mint-flavored tablet you simply let dissolve under your tongue. No needles. It's designed to help curb appetite and reduce cravings. Even sweets and carbs, which are my personal enemies. And when hunger's under control, it's easier to eat less. Stay away from the junk foods that trip you up. and tackle your weight loss goals head on. And this is important. The compounded terzepatide is recommended by the medical board of the wellness companies, the doctors I trust.

39:01Look, if you're serious about getting your weight under control and weekly shots aren't your thing, I strongly encourage you to look into terzepatide. Getting started is fast with an easy online physician consultation. Imagine discovering a no needle option that fits your needs. Go to noneedles.com slash smalls, promo code smalls to save$50.

39:26All right, we're back. Pick 17 is the Detroit Lions, who are pumped that there wasn't a run on offensive. There's still some interesting offensive linemen available. It's pretty hard to pick positions for the Lions other than offensive line at this point. And Monroe Freeling out of Georgia. I don't think I've mentioned him once, right? He could very well go, you would know better than I, based on what people are saying. But, oh, man, he might be, seems to be, like, one of the biggest risers in the entire draft. So we're going to go Monroe Freeling versus a tackle who does seem kind of Lions-E to me and Caden Proctor.

40:11Yeah, and that's tough. I think if I was talking to a scout as he was leaving the Alabama Pro Day and he said straight up if we felt better about the consistency with proctor um just felt better that he was going to fully realize his potential he'd be a top five lock in this draft without question um because just i mean for a 360 pounder the explosiveness is just it's just rare stuff but i think i'm gonna go manro freeling here who um i just i think there's a better chance or i feel about his floor, I guess, even though he is a young player and talking to, you know, scouts at Lucas oil stadium during the offensive line workout, uh, Freeling was very up and down because he's just a young player.

40:55There's a, there's a lot he just hasn't seen yet, but I think you're encouraged by how much better he got throughout the Georgia season this past year. Um, now obviously they're moving where it sounds like they're moving pennies who had a left tackle. Does that mean we're going to try Freeling at right tackle? I don't know. We'll figure that out, but I'm going to go with the long-term play in Freeland. Minnesota Vikings are next. I'm going to give you a choice between two players in the secondary. I'm not putting the safeties head to head. One of the players is Dylan Thienemann, a little bit on the nose as a Harrison Smith successor, but it is what it is.

41:29And the other option I am going to give you is a cornerback, Avion Terrell out of Clemson. Okay. I'm very eager to see where Terrell ends up in the draft had the the pro day ran the four sixes and um i know you know he's dealing with the injury but um it just wasn't not not ideal uh for a corner which is obviously a stopwatch position um i i think either way makes sense um you know you know brian flores would love to have add more competition to the corner room or add um another impact safety um it feels overplayed at this point with a, with the enemy going to the Vikings, but with these two choices, I think I'm going to go with the, do you have the enemy over a McNeil Warren?

42:16I do. Okay. I do. Yeah. And I, it's funny. Like I McNeil Warren. Yeah. He was one of my favorite players back in September. You know, I've been talking about him for a long time, but at some point, I think some people passed me, you know, liking him a little bit more, but I, I still like him as a first round guy. Yeah, he'll come up again, I'm sure. All right, the Carolina Panthers are next at 19. And they're funny, man. They are interesting. Because I keep saying this, but the team is a lot more complete than I thought. And as a result, there's not an obvious direction. I am going to give you a choice on both sides of the ball.

42:56We're going to put Keldrick Falk here, who uh because i do think there's still a need at pass rusher even with the addition of jaylen phillips right uh but you know you have a polished pass rusher now in the building so continue i know they draft double dip last year at the position and then i did concepcion last week so i don't want to do him here this week um

43:23i know i was thinking about it because i've been trying to look for like a guy who i feel like compliments the group you know um that they brought him in for a 30 visit and he would compliment it so well okay let's do that let's do Falk versus Cooper Jr. whose skill set I do think fits into that receiving group adds something different right I and I think that that's a key point is uh filling out the room and helping your young quarterback um I Keldrick Falk is the higher ranked player for me, but I love Omar Cooper Jr. And I think that's, that's where I'm going to go. Um, I think the, the idea of, you know, cause McMillan, Jalen Coker, like that's a good one to punch, but you upgrade that third option with a guy like Omar Cooper Jr.

44:09And I get it. This is what the third year in a row receiver in the first round. But, um, man, I just, I would love to see that for Bryce. And I'd love to see that for the Panthers offense to take that next step. well, Tennessee Titans are sad. Receivers off the board because remember they have pick 20 and with pick 12, they added an offensive lineman, Fano, which was great. They're thrilled to helping out the young quarterback. Still some interesting receiver options though including Casey Concepcion. So I'm going to give you, this is the Tennessee Titans I'm going to give you Concepcion versus should I do Falk?

44:51I can also bring in Boston here as an option.

44:59We will do let's do Boston. We haven't talked about it. They are determined to help their young quarterback in this draft. Concepcion, they added the offensive lineman. Now you're choosing between two receivers. Casey Concepcion and Denzel Boston, the right receiver out of Washington. Yeah, I mean, they definitely did that with the offensive lineman, and now they're going to do it the receiver. And I'm going to lean Casey Concepcion. He's such a fun player. He's one of the most versatile players in the draft, because, again, he can be a return man, can line him up across the formation. You know, he's just a, you don't really feel like, if he would have tested, I don't know that he would have tested like amazing.

45:43I don't think he would have ran a 4-3. but when you watch him play, he just seems to outpace everybody with just those gliding strides that he has. And so he can win deep. He can win with the ball in his hands underneath. I just think he's a very receiver friendly or quarterback friendly receiver. And that's exactly what they need in Tennessee with Cam Ward. So yeah, I think if you combine Zay Flowers and Luther Burden, I think - I was just about to ask if you had a comp for him. That's a funny one. Flowers and Burden, combine those two guys and I think the result is Concepcion. Flowers is a good one.

46:17There's definitely some similarities in their game. I did young Emmanuel Sanders was mine on the risk. I love him so much. Yeah, I mean, if you're a Titans fan, how do you feel that you came out of the first round with Fano and Concepcion versus Jeremiah Love or taking the edge at four? Yeah, I think you have to feel good. I mean, it's love and the explosiveness he would have brought to that offense is awesome. And we know Robert Sala loves just adding pass rushers. I think what in four years with the Jets, they drafted a pass rusher twice in the first round. So I think there's there's still a realistic way that that's the way it happens for them.

46:59But to come away with an offensive lineman that you can play up and down the line and a receiver who's going to help from day one and make a quarterback better. I think the Titans are feeling good about that. Pittsburgh Steelers 21. one. Caden Proctor back on the board for them tackle out of Alabama versus Ty Simpson. Let's do it. Ooh, okay. With those two, and I think they're maybe a little bummed that the receivers got wiped out a little bit here with Jordan Tyson and Concepcion and Omar Cooper Jr. all off the board. One of the few teams that legitimately does not have a need for Denzel Boston in the entire draft.

47:37Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So I think I'm going to go, I'm going to go Proctor here and we're going to play them at guard. I think that might be his best long-term position anyways, but we're going to get the best five out there and that's going to include, because I think right now they're left guards like Spencer Anderson. So adding Proctor to the mix, plugging him in at guard. I think that that gets our best five on the field. and I think upgrades what we put on the field last year for whoever's a quarterback. So Ty Simpson, I think, is going to have to wait a little bit longer to hear his name called.

48:13The Chargers are a tricky team because their most glaring need, which I think is the interior offensive line, does not correspond particularly well with this draft and how they're picking. But there are some interesting players available to them here that I'm going to offer to you. one I'm gonna put Keldrick Falk back on the board who I think makes sense for them I also think that's a need that people aren't talking about enough and then I'm gonna throw in too early for I really like Kato McDonald and I do think that's a big need for them

48:55let's do Peter Woods out of Clemson okay I think this is also I think a sneaky spot for that second guard to come off the board whether that's Chase Besontis Do you feel good about taking that second guard? The need is there but like after watching them how do you feel about it? I think that I think Besontis is going to go in the first round I do and I think it'll be interesting to see honestly once you get to like say pick 17 like 17 to 40. I just don't think there's a much of a difference at that point between these guys. And so if the, if the team, like the chargers maybe had a higher grade on this on side, I wouldn't be surprised.

49:38Um, in this scenario, I'm going to go with Falk. I've, I've got the much higher grade on him than I do with woods. Um, Falk is, uh, you know, when he was, he was asked to play in a three down front where he's four, I five technique. Like it, it, I think if you put him in more advantageous spots to get after the quarterback, He could, but he's a really good run defender. Still very young. He's so long, 35 inch arms. And he's going to a team where he doesn't necessarily have to be a starter from day one. He can be part of the rotation and then eventually be the replacement for Khalil Mack or Bud Dupree.

50:14Yeah. Khalil Mack just on the one year deal. And who knows if they'll get a full season of health. And yeah, I mean, assuming the Chargers continue playing that same light box style, Falk is a very well-rounded player. Mammoth. mammoth guy. I've enjoyed watching him. Okay. 23, the Eagles. So last time I had them drafting Denzel Boston, they traded A.J. Brown, or was signaling that they're going to. We're not going to do that again, just because we did that already. So that's not going to be an option I'm going to give you. I'm going to put up pass rusher and a safety. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren versus Akeem.

50:59Oh, God, he's so not... Doesn't feel like an Eagles player at all. I'm like, ah, Vesedor doesn't really make sense to me. Well... Okay, this is a little bit off, maybe potentially off the reservation. I'm going to put Iannachor here as the Lane Johnson replacement of the future, knowing that you're probably getting to the end of Johnson's career. The Eagles are the type of team that do draft for future needs. This really depends on how you feel about Janich or the tackle at the right tackle out of Arizona state. So it's him versus McNeil Warren. This is tough because I think that this team is much more, likely to go with the tackle that just seems like their mo and the the players they like to draft um but if i'm drafting i'm gonna go with mcneil warren i mean 6-3-2-0-5 his ability to patrol the field whether he's lined up as you know in a two high shell or if he's playing more of that nickel dime flexibility i mean i i i think there's just a ton of upside here with this player um i'm gonna to take McNeil Warren and, um, you know, I, the safety is a position that they could get better at.

52:25Um, and so I'm, I'm gonna take the higher rated player on my board. Speaker 1 Cleveland Browns took Carnell Tate pick six. They are back on the board. Uh, gonna give you a choice between I'll do Mesidor here. Cause I do think that would be a very fun fit versus I'm going to throw in a different offensive lineman. I'm going to put Blake Miller out of Clemson as an option. I, and that's tough. I think a reason why we're seeing Monroe feeling at left tackle so often, or at six for the Browns mocked so often is because it looks like on paper, that left tackle spot is what they're missing. And obviously Blake Miller was a right tackle and he's probably a right tackle only, but at the same time, I think the Browns are going to be open-minded about how they're going to get the best five on the field and whether that means moving Titus Howard around or just they're going to have to be creative.

53:27So I'll go Blake Miller here. I think that he might have the best football character in the draft. He's tough as heck. He doesn't miss time. He's just an easy player to like. and so I think for a team that just needs to collect good offensive linemen that's what he offers and I think for the Browns to come away with your perimeter weapon and then just a really solid and sturdy offensive lineman I think it's a win for them in the first round. Chicago Bears at 25 defense seems like the direction everyone expects him to go in and give you a choice between once again Mesidor and Caden McDonald the defensive tackle out of Ohio State.

54:08Yeah, and they need both spots, right? I think both they want to get better on the edge. They want to get better in the middle, and both players will help do that. Mets door is so interesting because it just, you know, you're talking about such an outlier. He's already gonna be 25 years old. He didn't test. He didn't have, he had his best season when he was a 24 year old going up against college guys. And so like all of those reasons are why, you know, you should have some level of doubt. Now, I think everyone's levels will be different depending on who you talk to, but he's a good football player.

54:42And I think at the end of the day, that's what you're trying to do. And so for the Bears, I'm going to add the good football player. And I like Caden McDonald a lot as well, but I'm going to add the guy that's, I feel like going to give me more pressure on the quarterback and put a little more of a premium on that compared to what Caden McDonald brings me in the run game. So give me Mesidor and just I'll let him loose against quarterbacks and see what happens. Katie McDonald stays on the board as an option for the Buffalo Bills. The alternative now is another pass rusher, Cassius Howell, out of Texas A &M, who we have not brought up yet.

55:19Do you have him higher or lower than Mesidor? Lower. I'm not huge on Howell. I like him just more as a second-round player, but I get the appeal with him because, you know, he is he he's gonna bring you juice off the edge didn't get after the quarterback and that's the bears or excuse me the bills need that um i i feel okay about my defensive tackles i think well enough you know think about walker think about uh at oliver um i'm good about them against the run i jim leonard three four yeah right well not not trying to sway the jury here and just wanted to something i've been thinking about it's fair um i'm gonna go with the pass rusher though i'm gonna go with the guy that i feel good is going to get after the quarterback and i feel like you know whether it's malachi lawrence or whether it's one of these other pass rushers i just feel like that's what the the bills are really missing on that side of the ball okay i'm gonna give you a choice for the niners that i think is fun okay bisantis right they're up here you mentioned him chase pesances the guard caleb lomu tackle out of utah so two offensive line choices and lomu is a guy that is so talented he moves so well just clearly needs to get stronger and he's a young player third year sophomore has some nfl zone blocking right right has some nfl bloodlines what you like and um and this is a fun draft for nfl bloodlines um you know sunny styles caleb downs uh do you know ladarius webb you know his son's in this draft how crazy is that what's his son's name ladarius webb jr i know crazy right he's a corner we're now at the age of the nfl sons and it's pretty upsetting i i i scouted ladarius webb like it's just it's it's nuts uh but this is why people need to get the the beast right yeah um so info i'm gonna go lomo i'm I know it feels like, okay, the Niners have been, you know, flirting with the tackle of future for a long time and how long's Trent actually have.

57:31But I think Lomu will, can be the long-term answer and then be an immediate swing for you. And, you know, give you, I'm sure he'll see the field as a rookie. And then of course, be the long-term option. Well, we are at an interesting point in this draft. We are nearing the end. However, I'm going to give you another trade. Let me get the actual pick right. This is something I tried to manifest in my wide receiver pod with Ben. Pick 28. It's the Houston Texans team that I have struggled to pick for every time. I will give you Besantis as an option here. Continue improving that offensive line. the other option is the las vegas raiders are on the phone and they are willing to part ways with pick 36 i believe is their next one right like 36 okay so they would be jumping from 36 to 28 uh and in the process will give you a third rounder next year which is pretty good value next year's draft because they desperately want denzel boston for fernando mendoza jr or fernando sorry they're added a junior uh which is just a marriage of quarterback and receiver i tried to manifest in my head i think it would be so great so it would and i really want them to add a receiver and they are worried the raiders are doing this because they are looking at the draft and they see that stretch of kansas city miami or not miami receiver but new england and they are worried that they are not going to have that.

59:12And then the beginning of the second as well, they feel like if they sit pat, they are not going to get one of the premium receivers. So that is your option. If you're Houston, Besantis, or you trade down and you pick up a third next year, it would be a very Houston Texans thing to do to move back like that, get the extra third and next year, how'd they get this extra third? Oh yeah, that's right. Like that. That's a very uh nick casario thing to do i'm gonna stick and pick though i'm gonna take this wow really i am i that would be fun for the raiders um i they're gonna have to wait and take elijah surratt and in the in the third and and pair him back up with uh mendoza but i'm yeah i'm gonna stick and take i'm gonna i'm gonna continue to invest in my offensive line which i've done already in the offseason but i'm gonna add another guy in besantus who i i really like i think the getting that impression.

1:00:06Yeah. I mean, he's a, he's a really good, I guess that I think he's gonna be a first round pick. I think he's a, what he brings me in the run game, the way he finishes. I think he's a good player. If you've shopped online, chances are you've bought from a business powered by Shopify.

So before you start driving, make it easy on yourself. Put your phone on silent. Toss it in the glove box. Set it to do not disturb. Put the phone away or pay.

1:02:55Paid for by NHTSA. All right. Kansas City Chiefs, who, what did we have been taking earlier? Delane. Okay. That was a pretty safe pick. So, Boston, one of your choices here, immediately. The other option I am going to give you for the Chiefs, we don't need a corner now, is, let's go.

1:03:25Let's go TJ Parker here. That's a good one. Who is the pass rusher? Clemson, right. Clemson, yeah. Yeah, no, I think that the Felix, Ian, and Duque, Zama pick in the first round has not worked out, safe to say. So, you know, they missed out on Reuben Bain earlier. So coming back with TJ Parker makes sense. But I'm not, I can't pass on Denzel Boston here. I think that to me, that's something I just want to see Benzel Boston in that offense yeah, that would be a lot of fun put him on the outside, work him in the slot I mean, you can work him across the formation and give Mahomes that big target that catches everything yeah, I mean, it's been missing in that offense Boston keeps falling, man I like him so much more, I feel like than how this draft is shaking out I was evidenced by the fact that I had the Raiders trying to trade up for him.

1:04:24So I think he's a very underrated player. All right, 30. The Dolphins are back. The Dolphins, as you recall, took Makai Lemon at receiver. Still needs throughout many different directions that they could go in. I am going to give you a choice between Avion Terrell, the cornerback out of Clemson, and screw it let's throw ty simpson back no no no actually no never mind i'm not gonna do that i'm not gonna do that because i know you're saying no i want to give you a legit choice um amy on terrell and let's do a different corner let's do colton hood out of tennessee okay um i think uh and when you look at uh you know john eric sullivan new gm of the dolphins coming from the Packers.

1:05:19They like those long corners. Colton Hood is a good-sized player. I have these two players ranked very closely, and I like Terrell more. The offseason and the way things have gone give me a little bit of doubt, but I still like Terrell a lot, even if you didn't have the testing that you wanted. He had eight forced fumbles the last two years. What corner does that? like there's just a honey badger aura to to to very feisty yeah exactly and so i'm gonna go yeah makai lemon and uh terrell two of the feistiest players yeah right uh in the draft to miami a little small uh a little bit a little bit yeah but uh i think i think dolphins fans that would be fun all right two more picks new england patriots on the board 31 I'm looking at my options here.

1:06:19I think I'm going to throw TJ Parker back into the mix because he would be my next edge. And then I'm going to look at the receivers again. I could do something weird.

1:06:37I feel like this is reaching for any of these guys right now. I'm looking at all the receivers. It feels a little early. so I'm going to actually next yeah what tackles we have left next to me was going to be looking at the offensive line oh Iannatur

1:06:57alright let's do let's put up Iannatur back on here and you know there's the Patriots have a little bit of room to have some patience with an offensive lineman if they were to draft one at the end of the first round versus TJ Parker to remind folks to pass rusher right um yeah and i mean morgan moses isn't getting any younger um i'll go i think so right right i'll go ihanachor uh i think you know he's your right tackle the future you've got will campbell who they still hope is the left tackle the future um and look he's ihanachor still raw he started playing the sport five years ago um and there's going to be bumps along the road but the talent that he brings, the movement skills, the way that he finishes, the physicality, I'll bet on that.

1:07:46So I think obviously that clip of Vrabel and him at the pro day went viral. And I think that, yeah, I think they probably liked what they saw with him. And so they wouldn't be mad if he's still on the board here at 31. All right, pick 32, final option, and we're doing another trade. Okay. Option. Okay, so one option is Colton Hood. the cornerback who it's interesting because everyone's like he's so seahawky and it's like yes but you could argue what the seahawks are looking for at the position has evolved i mean i i've also really like there's some there's some not to monologue about this but there are also other corners later that i do feel fit the profile so that's fair just you know there's some other guys, Chris Johnson.

1:08:34Yeah. So that's one option. The other option is, oh, it's an interdivision folk trade. Okay. Which, you know, I think it's fine. The Arizona Cardinals calling and they want to trade into the first round to draft Ty Simpson. You would get a pick 34, which obviously is only two away and a fourth. okay so it's not much however much you're only dropping you're barely dropping right right but you do lose the you know the first round option the benefits of picking the first round and and you're potentially helping your quote-unquote rival or you know so there there's a little bit of you're helping yourself depending on how you i was gonna say it depends on how you feel about ty simpson because uh whatever just do this for fun if arizona's calling you i think you have a good idea who the pick is going to be um i if you're seattle you you're going into the draft with four picks so the opportunity even if it is a fourth uh ideally you're hoping to maybe recoup some you know some day two capital but even a fourth and especially the the cardinals fourth which is early in the round um i think you have to do it and i think you feel good that just dropping a few spots are still going to be whether it's colton hood whether it's you know keelan Rutledge whoever it is you still feel good that he's going to be there in the second round so I think I think we have to make this trade um I I would I could probably I mean this is the only way I have Simpson going when I've been doing this um is the Cardinals two are the only team that I keep so it's hard when you do a mock draft besides you know the Jets the Cardinals maybe an outside shot of the Rams, but it's hard to find realistic spots.

1:10:29I think that's why I think there's a good chance he's still around round two as we go into Friday night. It's going to be the big storyline of round one. Let's wrap by saying, is there anyone you were surprised didn't get taken in this draft? If you can say their name and I can tell you. No, I mean, most of the big names went. I think my highest graded player that we didn't say was Chris Johnson. I love him at a San Diego state. He's the one on the Seahawks. I feel like. Yeah. And that's why if you're Seattle, Colton hood, Chris Johnson, one of them will be there for you in the second. I like, I like him quite a bit.

1:11:06I mean, he was really the only one that I have ranked as a top 30 player that I'm surprised. No. So we didn't have any defensive tackles, right? No, I didn't offer banks. uh i offered woods like once yeah mcdonald i offered a few times and said no it is not it is i like i said i'm gonna talk about them later this week they are flawed i mean mcdonald is is you're safe hey like we know what we're getting here right so if the need aligns like with a chicago or a buffalo maybe but the other defense there's like the the three techs i'm just not there's they're flawed man like i am really struggling to put them in the first round so So, yeah, that would be the one that, but otherwise, I've been saying the same thing.

1:11:50There aren't that many surprises because it's not a stack of first round. So it's not like, how did nobody take, you know? But yeah, we have pretty much different players, but the same players seem to be good. Right. And I wouldn't be surprised if some of those pass rushers maybe get in there, you know, Malachi Lawrence or Zion Young. Zion Young. Yeah, but I think, because like I said, I think between pick 17 and 40, all those guys are kind of lumped together for a lot of teams. And so maybe one of those pass rushers would get in there, but yeah, I don't think nobody that we said in the mock is, I think would be a surprise if they ended up in the first round.

1:12:32He's Dane Brugler. You can buy the beast. You can get it anywhere. Not anywhere. You can get out of the athletic. Why do I say that? I was, I'm so used to saying anywhere you get your pods, go to the athletic.com. Truly. It is essential. It is fun. You will sound smarter than your friends talking about the draft. Also, you can use it. And then whenever your team does, you can learn immediately insane amounts of knowledge about the players that they take. That's for me the biggest, because I just don't know very much about these guys off the field. And I really love all the little facts about people were making fun of me because I found out that our Mason's Thomas, his name is just R.

1:13:07Yeah. It doesn't stand for anything. I learned that this week. I was very tickled by that. folks go truly you should go get it it is amazing Dane thank you so much for doing this so much fun every year oh I enjoyed it thanks Mina
