At me I 100% agree with that at least for me yeah I think it really just depends it’s to each their own flavor right some people love us for our fancy stuff but I think we’re coming into our second season covering NFL draft and eil draft prospects so yeah I’d like to
Think that maybe we’re a little bit more polished up this time around but Al we appreciate you having us on I know we’ve been trying to make this work for a long time now a long time now so glad that we could finally make this happen my bad so

Mean like I said it’s been a long time that we’ve tried to make this happen I know you’ve been in our podcast like even just Cameo appearances too because we record it sometimes on the same day so it’s always been great to have you on obviously you had that great episode
With Tad running it solo doing the national title game preview sort of Roundtable blond discussion there so I mean yeah it’s great that we could finally return the favor and talk of USC draft prospects but yeah life is good man life is good open door policy you
Guys are always welcome to come on Tad thei now I want to tell you guys this oh here we go I want tell if you guys if you guys don’t like T somebody told me I have self-esteem issues in my comments whoa what wow wow okay I’m I’m half deaf
So it’s okay for me to say this is that person deaf like can they listen to this show so if you guys think I’m if you guys think I’m firing this is like this is my guy right here you guys should see us in a second when we get to Talking
Football you talk about kerosene and fire us two together we get people fired up and then we can get them down and we get them back fired up my man Tad to side besides the car we want to talk about the car how are you doing not talk
About the car I am doing fantastic it is you know what Al real quick what is your favorite holiday of the year my favorite holiday actually is Thanksgiving I like Thanksgiving more yeah because it’s like it’s just more chill and people like it’s no pressure of like oh I gotta get
Gifts and things like that people are like oh we’re just breaking bread together hanging out and in fact one of my good friends is married to a Canadian and my brother’s married to a Canadian I now celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving so I get two Thanksgiving in one year there
You go all right that’s a good pick but I have a better pick what’s that the best holiday of the season of the year is the NFL draft my friend and Christmas season is upon us so of course I am good I am on one of the best podcasts in this
Entire company for the first time which by the way way too long my bad I’ll I’ll take fall for that and I I thank you for having us on but more importantly I cannot wait to talk the draft so I’m doing fantastic anytime I talk draft and
By the way like Al said you know it’s it’s always it’s it’s yeah it’s not Fire and Ice it’s Fire and Fire and people you know Wonder like how did Chris Nolan film that real explosion during the uh you know Oppenheimer movie that was just me and Al discussing Allen Robertson
Versus Mars Hollywood Brown they just filmed the reaction from that and that was the nuclear explosion in Oppenheimer so you are welcome No One the good thing about it is and the good thing about good people I will say this is that we could get into a he argument and then
Just like that it changes and it’s like we move on life goes on and true very true and I will tell you guys this the best thing about lfb especially like the the core people we’re like a big family no matter how far away we are we’re a
Big family with all this so I appreciate you guys I love the fact that you guys are on I’m can’t wait to dive into this and see how you guys think what you guys think about what’s going go on we’re going to just address the Left End in
The room since we’re talking draft let’s talk number 13 Caleb Williams right I came on I came on you guys show and I’m oh also we have a lot of sooner fans too so say hello to the sooner fans we got a bunch of sooner okay all right all right
Let’s go Caleb Williams right uh I came on you guys show and we you guys uh what do you guys think I said he should go lower than 15 and you guys are like wow the reason why he should go lower than 15 is because we saw it on Monday with the national
Championship I don’t think he’s used to pressure and pressure comes a lot faster in the NFL and you have to make legit reads and things are on time in and things are a little bit more precise in the NFL and if he goes to a team that is
Unestablished his career will never take off I do think he has a high level but his level is higher if he goes to a team with established offensive line with a solid roster who’s a couple players away from making the playoffs not taking anything away from his athletic ability
His talent but his biggest flaw is lack of presence in the pocket and his lack of patience you know what I mean so those are two negatives I see so when you get a lack of presence in the pocket and a lack of patience you get a lot of
Picks in NFL you go somewhere that has a line that gives him a little patience and gives him the presence in the pocket he’ll have a successful career I’mma throw it over to air what do you think about Caleb Williams so I think everything you said makes a ton of sense and obviously
That’s why you host a USC based podcast here right so it makes a ton of sense everything that just laid out for us but I’m gonna counter you on one thing so yes in the pocket he’s probably not going to be that guy who’s gonna slice
You and dice you up as far as like picking you apart like a pton Manning with Tad’s Colts there back in the day he’s not going to be that type of quarterback definitely not but one of the big things that I think why everybody loves him to be the Bonafide
Qb1 going off draft boards this year is because he can make those plays on right get out of the pocket he could scramble out obviously t u Al you saw that the offensive line at USC was not good at giving him protection too so he cor kind
Of had to make plays on his own too so we saw this a lot last year when he won the Heisman right that he was sort of get getting out roll out of the pocket he scrambled for yardage when he needed to but he was also able to make any play
That he wanted to with his arm because he has the armed talent to just find whichever open guy is able to sort of get open for him and he’s able to make plays that way so because of that playmaker ability that he possesses he doesn’t need to be that traditional
Quarterback like I mean we’re seeing this in the modern NFL that’s like if you got guys like Josh Allen and Patrick momes and Lamar Jackson obviously maybe not to the same extent Lamar Jackson but it’s like you need to have that ability to get out of the pocket you can’t just
Sit there and dice up a defense like the old schools of your Tom Brady’s your Drew your pton Mannings that kind of quarterback is unfortunately that’s old news now you need to get with sort of the modern quarterback way where you sort of have that Mobility aspect yes
You still need to make plays in the pocket which Caleb Williams will learn to do and I think it’s very important whoever lands him that offensive coordinator needs to make sure that they could utilize his skill set to his full of 10 because if they get a guy who just
Can’t use his skill set the way that he can be so so Dynamic at the NFL then we’re going to see a lot of problems we’re going to see a lot of interceptions we’re going to see a lot of turnovers we saw last season T Al 16
Fumbles like I mean he’s got to make sure that he’s keeping that ball closer to his best there’s going to be a lot of people just like maybe they won’t be able to get to him but they’ll get a hand in his you know throwing motion and
Be able to get a lot of strip sacks that way so yeah he’s got to tied that up for sure but I think for sure wherever he lands I think whichever team is taking him they’re going to understand that this is a guy that we could use as a
Playmaker not just as a quarterback in this offense so for that I still like him to be the number one quarterback off the board I’m seeing a lot of mock drafts now possibly taking Drake May above Caleb Williams I’m not in that boat yet I still need to dive into a lot
More film to possibly make that decision but I’m still 100% on board with kale be kale Williams excuses me being the first quarterback off the board I will say this and count and I will say this before I go to Tad I I get that part but there’s still
Plays that need to develop and and that small pressure when it’s time to step up won’t step up he’s going to try to extend the play which causes receivers to come out of their route and not let it hit that’s the only thing so his just
His patience is a little shaky for me to make that happen Tad what do you think uh well first off I have to note that Amur almost called you Tad twice there and you got three you got three two I gotta say running counter the more he
Was doing it I kind of see the resemblance I’m not going to lie there but um man with the beards and nice flowing hair um I used to have hair yeah I’m going to need photo proof of that um but no it was funny so uh
Because you guys are on the west coast and I’m on Central time uh Caleb Williams I love to watch but at that point on Saturday night uh I was in an altered state we’ll say so and like it was always hard to do like hard draft uh
You know analysis while you’re just like oh this a great game but um now that I’ve actually been able to sit down and watch more of Caleb Williams tapes and he is definitely the prospect like a mer said is still very early on in the process I am still digging through a lot
Of guys here um you know surprisingly I actually warmed up on Caleb Williams uh as I watch more of him however however I think here’s where the discussion with Caleb Williams has fallen apart as as with anything in the social media age he has become such a polarizing Prospect of
You either love Caleb Williams or you hate Caleb Williams there is no in between is he going to be a bus or is he the next Messiah and it’s just like you know what for me honestly it’s in the middle I see the promise I see those
Comparisons I see why people fall in love with him but then at the same time I see some major flaws in this game so it was funny because of course I saw I you know typed in on YouTube Caleb Williams tape and if your guys searches
Anything like mine the very first one is the title is of course it’s a grabby title to get a lot of views is is Caleb Williams next Patrick Mahomes I’m like oh dear God here we go so I clicked on that and I was like all right and no is
He gonna be like the next like 50-yard touchdown passer in his first NFL starting season no but the more I watched him the more I understood those comparisons because he does have a very similar play style and am I agree with you I think that play style is necessary
To succeed at the quarterback uh you know uh in this new quarterback era in the NFL but here’s where the Patrick Mahomes thing kind of falls off and this is where I agree with Al we’ve seen that Patrick Mahomes play style not work as well without good coordinators and good
Receivers Patrick Mahomes is having probably I think this is a pretty objective statement the worst year of his career as a starter easily easily right and so we see how that play style can actually be kind of a detriment and that’s why I saw K Williams it’s like he
Would have five to six amazing plays where I was like great great great great and then you have a horrific play where I’m like yeah no bad it was funny CU I was watching another video breaking down his film and the guy commentating it was like look at how he handles his Corner
Blitz because he takes on the corner like sheds him off I was like yeah that was really cool he’s not gonna be able to do that in the NFL so his his ability to kind of scramble around the pocket I think that’s gonna be lessoned and also his footwork at times was surprisingly
Bad I was really shocked at like you know and people are going to go where are do you see him running around that’s not what I’m talking about that’s his escapability I’m talking about his footwork when he’s in the shotgun and by the way that’s another concern is that
He ran like 90% of his plays out of shotgun so how is he gonna do under center it’s his footwork needs a lot of work some of his decision- making needs a lot of work Al he had one of the worst throws because I didn’t see this live I
Saw it while I was watching tape he had a throw against UCLA I don’t know what the hell he was throwing it to I believe it was in the first half and he just like he had a lot of time in the pocket chucked it straight to the middle
Linebacker no one in the area and I was just like what are you doing so is he this like is he the you know end all Beall number one pick that he was previously hyped up to be no but I am starting to see the Promise do I like
Him better than Drake may maybe uh I still need to you know make that decision but I see what Al saying is in like if you put him on a good team he will be that end all be all but let’s be real that’s not going to happen so I
Think it’s going to be more of a growing pain experience than people are expecting just for the record T there’s me with hair right there hair what is that two centimeters a that was that’s at that’s in the middle of Camp so I didn’t even have a hair somebody break out a
Ruler so that’s a fade man come on gota got gota look nice for ladies on the college campus yeah he didn’t want helmet hair that’s why he kept it shorter there we go there’s the excuse so so yeah and in that sense I understand what you’re saying so I went
Back if you guys go back and watch the show and I and we got a lot of grief for this um does he take the $500 out the Playbook and that’s a Caleb William issu that’s also going around too and a lot of people don’t catch it but a very
People will catch it does he take the $500 out of the Playbook and like Ryan said when we filmed the show is he even invited to the wedding you know what I mean like so that there those issues are floating around too silently but you know that’s kind of happening on the
$500 of the playbook for those of you who don’t know that’s a reference to uh JaMarcus Russell where they taped a $500 because or no that’s draft that’s draft day that’s draft day that’s draft day I caught it before you guys did I got but JaMarcus Russell is the same deal that’s
Where draft day got it from where they what was it they like uploaded like a fake CD or they they gave him Blake tapes and they asked understood the coverage and like yeah I loved them all don’t totally get it yeah yeah in draft day they taped uh I don’t think it was
500 I think it was just like a dollar or something but uh they taped money to the end of The Playbook and uh he didn’t send it or the the quarterback that was going to go first overall did not send it back and the one they wanted did or
Something like that but bottom line being is like is he gonna read The Playbook and honestly that was one of the things that surprised me because all the you know negatives that I read up before I watched his tape uh were saying that is he going going to be the one
Read quarterback but I do see little flashes there of like hey maybe he actually is very good at this because there was a play I’m blanking on the opponent because of course um but there was a play where he’s you know looking at out route and a linebacker he could
Have beaten the linebacker but he understood maybe that linebacker gets ahead of the receiver plays that shallow route so he breaks off the read maybe a little too quickly but whatever there is one play in particular though where it was against Notre Dame where they’re backed up against their own End Zone and
He takes it and you can literally see him hit every read in a very good like Snap Snap timely manner and then on top of that he avoids a rush because of course with that offensive line and he like you know kind of avoids it like by
The shoulder shrug does not run resets his feet Nails the pass it’s like that’s what I mean it’s like there are some plays where I’m like this dude has no footwork and he shows me that I’m like this dude’s got great footwork so it’s like which one are you gonna get yeah so
We’ll find out pretty soon here in a couple of months where he goes um I don’t think he’s going to work out the funny thing about him is and here’s another worry I about have about him too I think he has a little bit of Aaron Rogers syndrome because he hasn’t
Declared yet that is true that is the big story right now that it’s like they have until June uh January 15th Monday he has not declared at all he has not declared yet so like what’s the hold up and just like I don’t know so he hasn’t
Followed and like I told Jamal’s like what if he forgets to follow his paperwork then what we do he’s like nah he won’t forget to that’s one thing he won’t do is forget to paperwork what was the trade do you guys remember there was some trade deadline in the NFL was that
It where they tried to trade for it was AJ Mccarron right they try to CH for AJ McCaron the fax machine broke yeah like how great would that be just like send send send and the fax machine doesn’t work you can PDF it from your phone now
So there’s no excuse for that y definitely so let’s moving on we got a list of Trojans coming out this year um so let’s cover day one do you see anybody uh I I’ll go to tab first do you see anybody else El besides Caleb going
Day one on this UFC roster day one I think it’s just Caleb Williams unfortunately I think that and this is kind of and look I like I said I love the NFL draft but uh you know teams tend to overthink things and the fact that this was a team with such hype going
Going into the year and the fact that they fell apart uh especially defensively that I won’t say so fast you guys were in it for a while but the fact that they fell apart in two lane last year right and so it’s well yeah that’s also Fair especially how two lane did
You know this year was like oh wow that really was a flash in the fan but um just the fact that like this USC team and you’re like Scouts come up with the dumbest stuff which just like can they handle the expectations in the NFL if
It’s not the youo if they couldn’t do the USC so I think a lot of stupid analysis like that is gonna come in there are a couple guys that are like borderline like late first rounders who would’t really surprise me especially if they test well uh at the combine or if
They play well at one of the now 15 uh draft bulls that are going on not that not that I’m complaining uh but as it stands now I would be shocked if any Trojan went other than uh Caleb Williams what about you m yeah I feel the same as Tad I think U
Caleb Williams is for sure gonna go 100% the top five most likely he’ll go number one overall whether it’s going to be Chicago whe it’s going to be another team that’s going to be taking in we’ll see about that but outside of Caleb Williams there’s only one other prospect
That could possibly slide into the first but this is like a big if if really has to be a little bit of an anomaly of a type of draft where all of a sudden teams are valuing safeties because then I can see the safety Caleb bulock possibly going in the first round but
That would be if he also moves up in the process because right now I have him slotted as possibly the number three safety in this draft class compared to some of the other guys um Tyler Dubin out of Minnesota and camri kites the guy out of Miami would be the guys ahead of
Him right now obviously you still have to go into the tape to see whether Bullock is maybe gonna be playing better than those guys but as of right now that’s where he slots in and I don’t project any safety as of right now to go
In the first round so like I said it have to be like some sort of weird an Noy type of draft where it’s just like all of a sudden teams are prioritizing safety they want to replicate what the Ravens have with Kyle Hamilton for some reason that they all want to go get
Safeties but I really don’t think that’s going to be the case and so unfortunately for me Caleb B Caleb bulock will then slide into day two for me but yeah outside of him like yeah I don’t think there’s any other USC Prospect this year unfortunately that has first round pedigree outside of
Caleb orans I like Max better than Caleb but that’s a different story for a different day well and I’ll say this real quick is the guy who I understand why he uh declared and obviously he had very unfortunate situation could you mention VRE Vorhees had saved for one
More year that is true he’d probably be in the conversation with your Joe alz and your Shu from pen State as well that he possibly could be in that conversation to be one of those top offensive L Bo I I think in like two or
Three years he’s going to be a top NFL offensive line I’m so big believer in him yeah I don’t know who that is but we can move on Andrew fores Jason Vorhees hockey mask andw vores they’re both brothers okay I believe you I believe
You oh by the way Ted I owed you $5 tibo got six sex this season yes oh there you go there you go go go Ducks I’m kidding before your commenters start attacking me no I’m a Frog fan so all you Sooners comment
Bring it up uh so uh we’ll go on to to Friday night by the way I hate that the draft is on in the middle of the week I hate that Gil did that I grew up on you know draft being Saturday Sunday like it
Was that’s true I remember that I I hate The Prime Time draft but I love it uh Friday night so well we’ll go to air first do you what prospects do you see going Friday so Friday second third round who do you see going on Friday if
There’s any yeah well definitely I going to bring up the the guy that I brought up during my previous take about nobody going in the first round besides Caleb Williams but that’s the safety CB Bullock I mean I’m pretty sure there’s going to be more of a you know priority
As far as building out your secondary in that second and third round there’s obviously a lot of depth in both the defensive back position secondary position I to say going B to safeties as well as where that where you get a lot of depth for like receivers as well
That’s where we’re going to see a lot of receivers go as well so I think that teams are going to stock up on those positions so you look at guy like kin Bullock I mean I they’re saying that he could play the slot quarter position but
Based on his size and weight exactly I was already shaking his head it’s like I’m not I don’t think I can see that he’s a better Zone coverage Defender anyway so if you ask him to do Press B coverage in the NFL level I don’t think
He can handle that maybe it’s like an emergency backup situation where it’s like you’re like the 49ers and you’re dealing with secondary injuries every single year maybe that’s a situation where he’ll actually get some playing time but that’s not a recommendation for him to be like a project Ed starting
Slot quarter for you he should not be that type of guy he’s better suited to play at the safety he’s got the good rage he’s got the good ball instincts he’s got a great wing span as well to track the ball and make some good catches but here’s the big thing people
Were throwing his Direction so he wasn’t able to get a lot of interceptions he was getting a few pass Breakers here and there but I think he’s got a lot of great skills to be just to safety he’s not going to be that slot C slot quarter
Which a lot of people are sort of projecting there good recognition skills in the run defense as well overall one of the better safeties in this class I think just depending on how the draft process goes he could Ascend to possibly being the second or possibly first
Safety off the board I think as of right now as mentioned I think I got him number three um but outside of Caleb Bullock depending on the draft season that he has as well the off season I should say specifically but Brendan rice the wide receiver he could possibly be a
Round three selection um I’m seeing him there in the likes of like you know comparing him to other receivers he could be there the conversation with the Roman Wilson out of Michigan uh Jaylen McMillan out of Washington and Johnny Wilson the Behemoth out of Florida State the wide receiver there insane it’s
Crazy I’m curious to see what’s going to happen with him in the draft process they’re definitely going to invite him to the combin so I’m very curious to see all his numbers what he goes want to get that height on him exactly yeah so gotta get that confirmation whether it’s
Actually 67 or whether it’s like closer to like 65 or something like that uh but yeah jumping back to Brendan Bry I mean son of the legendary receiver I love the guy Jerry Rice of the 49ers obviously forly of the 49ers I should say uh but that’s a big Shadow to feel obviously
When you’re coming from a you know a lineage of such a legendary player like that um he was able to live up to the expectations this season though like Cale Williams was looking his Direction a lot more making a lot of explosive plays scored 12 touchdowns this season
Which was a team high for the USC Trojans he was only behind Tod Washington in receptions and receiving yards so I mean this guy was just a primary piece of the passing offense that Caleb Williams relied on natural hands catcher of course you’re going to
Get that when you have a dad like Jerry Rice um very aggressive at catching the ball though so that was something that Jerry Rice was not up he was very much accepting the football not going up and getting it he did have that type of athleticism but Brendan rice showing
That he’s more aggressive snatching the ball out of the air willing to get aggressive with quarters to sort of snatch the ball there um biggest thing though and that’s why I said the draft process is gonna be very critical for him whether he’s going to go on day two
Or whether he’ll fortunately slide to day three he’s very raw so it’s going to be very CL critical that he sort of refines his skill set during these last next couple of months if he gets invited to the combine that’ll be a great chance for him to sort of showcase his skills a
Little bit further he did get EX invitation to the Senior Bowl so Tad we will be able to see him during the Senior Bowl during our live stream there um but yeah I think he has a very high ceiling it’s just how much can he refin himself during this trout process which
Will sort of slate him where he will go on day two or if he really just you know has a bad draft season he’ll slide all the way to day three but I like him to go on day two for sure outside of that I think those are the
Two guys that I’m sort of pegging the most out of USC prospects to go on day two one thing I think will help is stft stock a little bit he he blocks very well he’s a very he’s a very good blocking run blocking receiver which teams who are run heavy and use their
Receivers for blocking might be interested in that he blocks very well so that’s one thing that I think will help his draft St uh Tad what do you think who do you see going Friday day uh day two Friday uh third second and third round I think the most um likely Sure
Fire candidate is a guy that already brought up which is uh uh Callum bulck which is um you know is it Callen Al is it Kalen or is it kin I the way I saw it I said it was kayin but I have no idea
It’s is it I’m still working on my names it’s going by kin he’s everybody calls him kayin bulock so we’ll go kayin you idiot why you did I say call damn it Callen kayin whatever Bullock Welcome to our world everybody Welcome to our world I’m so bad with names for our
Viewers is that the most entertaining thing about and that’s another entertaining thing about us is my cat cap he’s make he needs to make an appear appearance every show um but I’m so bad with names that’s the funniest part of the draft we should make a game out of
That during the draft like during round two his name that that would be great but um before I go any further with this take I just gotta say um if you disagree with it we actually did make a production error here so at emide 23 is actually my
Twitter uh that is where you direct all your hate mail okay so before before I get to that before I get to my take uh that that is where you can find me and I will respond in a prompt manner but um I don’t really like bulock
Wow I watched a couple of his games this year and I was like yeah like I see the promise I definitely see the potential there but in ter there there were several things that worried me one is his and this is something that is fixable over time obviously but uh man
Is his physic uh physicality bad he gets swallowed up so often and the thing that at first and this was it was funny so the first game I watched M and I’m sure you actually watched this one live his the first tape of his I watched uh of
The draft season was his game against San Jose State oh my Lord see you’re put like your head down but you guys made him look like the fool because that man in run defense is terrible like he overp pursues so badly in run defense where like I’m not even
Joking there was just a uh it was like a read option to the running back and he just gunned it and CR it to his credit he hit that Gap very fast but he triy he tried to tackle him so high he ended up rolling like 10 yards past the
Quarterback while the running back was going down the field so his over Pursuit and run coverage was a real concern there um his I I completely agree with what you were saying Amur though that man is not gonna be a slot corner uh because his man coverage like I said
With that physicality not going to work um now to give credit words too he does have very good like you know ballhawk skills he is pretty impressive in zone coverage I see the Promise do I see the Promise as him as a second rounder no
But I think he’s going to test out the charts I think he is going to measure very well particularly in height I think he’s going to be one of the standouts during the combine which just basically means physically you look good um so I think he will solidify himself as a
Second rounder I personally have him graded as a fourth or fifth rounder um so there’s a couple things I want to comment on that size is going to be a size is g to be an issue when I say size I mean weightwise like he doesn’t look very big
And it’s loud in the NFL no matter where you are um you’re not g to get another Hamilton Hamilton is one in the lifetime opportunity sa people forget this too Hamilton had a rough rookie season he did he did he did but he came on very
Well now and Hamilton should be going to Orlando I don’t know why he’s not and if he is I hope I’m that’s prob of him don’t get me started on the Pro Bowl at first I was like he’s going to the Magic No so so and then you’re talking about
They’re talking about putting him at a slot C he can’t cover that’s the reason why he plays center field like he plays center field very well like the year before he he’s very opportunistic got a lot of picks playing center field he’s very good at that the thing I the the
Problem is tackling if you’re going to be a safety you need to be the last line of his defense to be a for sure tackler and he’s not a for sure tackler which means he can’t play down the box if you start playing Roll Cover if you start
Have to roll the coverage with the safeties he can’t play Down The Box because he doesn’t tackle very well um for him to be a second or third round pick is kind of high I don’t I think you could get a better athlete for that value agreed um
Can interject yeah go ahead so I think the biggest reason as to why I’m sort of projecting him to be a day2 pick is because all your concerns are very valid that he’s not a physical presence he’s not going to be a guy that’s like you
Said bring him up in the Box he’s not gonna be a guy who’s gonna be physical as far as band carbage as far as lock corner but I think the biggest thing that gives him an advantage is because he has such good you know football IQ
And that’s a hard thing to coach it’s like if you have that going into the draft you can bulk up in the weight room Tad we talk about this all the time our podcast a lot of these guys they just need to bulk up a little bit build up a
Little bit of muscle bass and they’ll be good to go so I think that’s possible obviously a little bit of refinement in technique I think that could be coached up as well but the biggest thing is if you’re coming into the NFL with already a good football IQ and you sort of know
What you sort of need to do play your position that’s going to give you a leg up against all the other competition cutting into to trading Camp so that’s why I like it a little bit more obviously like I said it’s going to be accentuated with how his draft process
Goes but that’s sort of why I’m leading towards him being a day two pick as opposed to Sliding all the way to day three you know he kind of reminds me of is uh and I don’t know how familiar you guys are actually if memory serves this
Is another USC alum in a way I see him having a similar career as Julian Blackman the safety that was uh with the Colts um I don’t think he went to UFC maai Blackman the rookie last year was not M no no maai Blackman is much better
Um no jul Julian Blackman was a safety with the Colts maybe I’m forget you keep talking about then I’ll look it up okay yes please do number 30 number 32 with the Colts uh by the way people before you judge me too hard it’s 10 pm my time
And I just taught children all day so I’m a little brain fried but um love those kids you’re the best you’re not but point being is he was kind of the similar way of like a smaller safety was not a run support guy at all but he was
Your very typical like if you need third safy Utah ah I knew was pack 12 damn it is Julian Blackman though right yeah okay so he was the perfect like third safety for the reasons Z Mur exactly put out because he was a little bit smaller
Frame you couldn’t use him a run support but God when you knew you were going in coverage he was the perfect guy to have out there because I completely agree and that’s why I said he’s good in zone coverage is you know bulock has a very good you know understanding of the game
It’s just yeah he has all the you know everything physically going against him so again I see the promise I think again he will get the hype to go in round two but I I don’t think he belongs there I’m with Allen this one it’s just the value
And we’re going to talk about this a lot this off season and you guys always see me like you could get something you could get it for a better value if you can get it for a better value try to get it for a better value I just think you
If you could get him for better value later down the line then that’s where you go get him I wouldn’t say spend it all up front so that’s the only thing but as far as Jerry’s boy Jerry’s boy I think is GNA be the one that pops out and has
The best pro career interesting whoa okay wait including Caleb including Caleb I think he’ll have the longest career and I think he will have the best pro career I’m not saying he’s going to be like his dad and be a Hall of Famer but I think he’ll be a pro bowler one or
Two times I think he’ll have very good seasons and I think he will be a attribute to teens because he can run block because he can catch the hitch because he can catch the slant and he could run the nines and the eights right he can run go routes and he can run
Posts and he’s physical and he could go get the ball he that makes him a very very very valuable number two receiver and now you’re getting the number two receiver at the million dollar Mark or under the million dollar Mark which is a very good value for the first four years
Right and if he does go and make that name he makes it to the second contract he’s get he’s going to get paid and the goal for all NFL players is get that third contract so I think he will be able to get that third contract I think he’ll probably maybe on
Two teams because you never know how the NFL works but he’s G he has he has so much in his tank and so much upside like Amir said he’s still raw I think he’s gonna have the longest jevity in the NFL and I think you will see people wearing
His jersey no matter what team be play for I all also will tell you this there is a thing with the NFL where you get drafted based off the fans you put in the seats so a lot of Hometown kids get drafted that’s true to their Hometown don’t be
Surprised if all of a sudden you see a third round selection by the 49ers and they pick up Brandon rice that that can’t happen that can’t be a possibility Brandon rice on the 49ers now makes him very good makes him really good that makes brenon iuk the number one receiver
Brandon rice the number two receiver and that makes Debo Samuels Tyreek Hill the 49ers he’s a multi-asset and he’s playing receiver and running back and he’s the number one guy plus Christian mcaffrey you know what I mean I’m not saying deo’s not the number one receiver
He’s the number one guy and you have Christian mcaffrey W auk and Brandon rice and George KD go ahead for now no I was just gonna make a point that like you brought the ners like I don’t know whether actually going to happen want to see how the draft process plays out but
I just want to accentuate another skill that Brandon rice has and that’s yards after the catch like he has that athletic ability and that skill set that once he makes the catch he’s still a dangerous guy to sort of get some extra yardage and get some big chunk plays for
You so it’s like you know like Al said that if he fits in the San Francisco offense that’s exactly what they make their offensive living off of is that yards after the catch with IU with KD with Debo so it’s like that would be a perfect fit but just any team that
Drafts him he has that ability not only just be a gifted receiver but also a gifted playmaker with the ball at his hand so yeah I I like him to have a pretty good career too I still have to dive into his tape a little bit and
We’ll see how the draft process goes like I mentioned earlier he’s going to be at the Senior Bowl so that’s going to be a big leg up for him too a lot of Scouts will see him there so yeah I like bread and rice for sure but yeah we’ll
Have to see how it all plays out well so I was gonna hope I was hoping you were going to kick it to day three after that because um at Le it’s if you have day three go ahead hold up well I do but first oh no not day three
We’re still on day two do you have anything that’s but that’s what I’m saying is I was hoping you were going to kick into to the next segment let me get to my joke Al do you two know what the most popular dish in America is most popular dish most popular food popular
Food in America I would go hamburger or steak hamburger steak Pizza you both are horrifically wrong it is rice maon cheese rice rice and you know why rice is so good because no matter how many many times you have it or no matter how
Many times you hear about it it is so so good so let’s keep talking ber rice here let’s keep doing it not Bernard BR hold on stop Bernard dude I like I I know them by their last names it is early on I’ve only been watching
Tape for a week for a week hold s let me pay this bill this weekend starts Wild Card Weekend if you want to get in on that action to B online. A you get in all the up to lat minutes odds stats and you can put in Wagers set up a parlay
For Saturday and Sunday I we’re GNA see a lot of upsets in my opinion but that’s a different that’s a different conversation for slack uh put it promo C believe bav you get a 50% welcome bonus battle line. AG where the game starts going into Round 4
Day three right so day three Saturday 4 through 7 those are quick they don’t even have celebrities on there anymore they’re just talking the whole time like oh they just drafted somebody they’re just up there having conversation no this is where they do like the uh the
Picks that are like video calls where they go to like the army base and um I remember there was that one year that really upset um Mike Mayo there was the um orangutang that made a pick and that I don’t know for some reason made Mike
May super pissed off yeah like so those are the more weirder picks I should say in CL marks there but not the celebrities yeah not your you know yeah not even or the fans even still there oh yeah they’re sold they’re sold out for the entire thing oh I don’t understand
Saturday I wouldn’t go to a draft on Saturday there’s no point to go yeah I don’t need Harry I don’t need Harry from the family sub restaurant that’s been in Buffalo for the last 50 years to I don’t care about him to be honest with you like I’m never gonna eat
At your sandwich shop properly but but fair that’s fair so we got 4 through S under million dollar guys right these guys are going to make under million dollar mostly developmental guys mostly guys are going to become Journeymen and reality mostly guys this is where the
Career is going to end it’s going to come to a stop here they get the opportunity to go to Camp probably end up in the UFL who do we see and we’ll kick it a tad first day three since you wanted day three so F so bad get well let’s let’s
Go into the guy I was talking about bart rice so with him this is still a this still a children podcast you will get ridiculed for that I get kill no matter what it’s I’m used to it at this point guys I am sorry like truly go to our show the
Decide guys this is not a bit I truly you watch any episode and he’ll screw up a name like it’s not even a joke I got it is a Pard you’re finally getting it after all these years you’re finally getting for two years I kept saying uh what what did I keep
Saying I kept saying polard but anyway going back to rice is you know not too much to add on to uh what you guys have already said but it was funny because um you know I I had heard his name obviously just his last name uh going
Into this draft process so I decided you know put on his tap start watching him and the first thing that stood out to me was he ran three backto back to back of the crispest routes I have ever seen in my life and I was like oh dear God it’s
Funny so I don’t read up on the background of any player I Scout before I was their tape I want to watch the tape and then I’ll learn more about them so like I was watching his route running and I was watching just like route
Runner for a guy his size I was like this is truly incredible like this guy has some very natural gifts then I looked him up I’m like oh yep there it is I’m like okay yep no that makes sense like all right now now it’s all coming
Together um but it was just to his his uh you know his finacity makes his first appearance of the Season his finacity uh as a smaller receiver I’m not gonna say small receiver he’s not like a Darren sprouls type but he’s definitely on the smaller side um is very impressive he
Plays much more aggressively than frankly has the right to do so I really like him a lot so why do I have him as a day three guy like I said NFL Scouts tend to overthink these things that guy is not 205 pounds that is a college weight measurement right there I think
He’s going if he gets to the combine which I fully expect him to um he will come in at under 205 I think that that size is going to scare people or Scare teams away from drafting him in rounds two or three and let’s not forget like
Amur kind of to this is a absolutely ridiculously loaded receiver class some good receivers are going to drop and I think because of his size he is going to but I am right there with what Al said I think he has all the potential with that rout running with aggressiveness with
The good hands to have a good long NFL career and I was trying to think of a comp for him don’t worry he’s not a whole Famer even though he should be joke joking but I I’ll be interested to hear what you guys think so I was thinking I’m like okay small guy
Aggressive good catcher but like he does he’s a small guy that doesn’t play like a small guy and they kind of hit me it’s not perfect comparison but he kind of reminds me of a T Y Hilton T Y Hilton wasn’t as physical of a receiver he was as physical but I
Would have took a hin wart see that feels too high hin Ward was like more physical than he was we need we need to find our in between between hin Ward and T Y Hilton what about Steve Smith Steve Smith yeah Steve Smith I like that one better than Hines
Ward g style is better yeah that’s good because especially if you at Steve Smith during his days of baldw he got a lot more of a physical receiver because in Carolina that’s where he relied on his speed right but then he developed into being more of a physical receiver so i’
Say Steve Smith Baltimore Steve Smith not Steve SMI and where was Hines Ward drafted because I know the other two but I’m not sure about Hines Ward off the top of my head which round both you know kind of later round picks so that’s why
I mean about you know uh uh uh you know Barnhart kind of I almost said Bucky but doesn’t have the R so the joke doesn’t work um but I that’s why I think he might be a I apologize guys I really apologize for this keep going T you apologizing to
Listeners I was just to say were you apologizing to the listeners yeah you care L about us Welcome to our Ruckus we are just we are chaos um but I like all two of those th those three guys went in what would now be day three so that’s
Why I think that size despite the you know level of play will make him end up slipping into day three all right you got anybody else for day three so you’re saying he’s going fourth round I think fourth or fifth probably well if he go fourth or fifth
He’s gonna get a hell of a raise on his second contract I 100% agree I 100% agree because you know you know like again not play style I’m not comparing their play style because they are wildly different in terms of play style and you know just general measurements is a guy
Who he reminds me a lot of and yes I am biased because I’m also Michigan fan go BL national champs um is Donan peoples Jones I was convinced stop stop stop all right we’ve had this argument before we’ve had this argument before how you gonna say you’re a Michigan fan and you
Said Washington was gonna win the national championship I thought like like 10 different schools colle like that that shows no no that shows good analysis because that shows that I do not let my bias get in the way which by the way at least two horn frogs are going in the first
Round anyway who else do you have going in the in day three because well well real quick before you were like well how do you have you know rice going in the fourth to seventh round is he reminds me a lot again not in terms of play style
But just in terms of draft stock of dominant peoples Jones I love that guy coming out of college and I thought that he was a locked for second or third rounder then he slipped to the fourth it’s like okay what’s happening they up to the fifth I’m like okay seriously
What’s happening and I I can’t remember I’m pretty sure he was taken at the end of the sixth round am I have been it was either end of the sixth or was a six round pick he had he was a sixth round pick so and plus like I said it was the
Very end of the six too like he was almost a seventh rounder I was like what happened there and to this day I’m not sure you should have went as a safety to me to this day I think peop Jones was a better safety than he was a receiver okay well that’s yeah
Interesting but that’s my whole point it’s like every every year there’s a receiver or running back that tends to drop a lot um and I think that rice is going to be that guy where we look back in a couple years and it’s just like wow
Okay I I don’t know how we let that happen but in terms of other guys I again I still need to watch I don’t want to give analysis if I haven’t watched too much of their tape and I’m I’m you know I will get there within the next
Month or so especially before the Senior Bowl Senior Bowl is where we really step up so definitely within the next two weeks but a guy that’s interested me a lot from the little bit I’ve seen seen of him is Marshon Lloyd um I think that
He I don’t see him stepping up as number one running back but I think that could be a real steal as a good not change of pace back but good like number two guy kind of the uh Montgomery to the jir Gibbs type thing that the lions are
Doing right now but uh I’ll be interested to see if you guys agree is he a day three guy will he be the surprise UND drafted because remember every year there are five at least five guys everyone’s like this guy’s gonna be drafted goes undrafted Amir
No 100% to picky back off of Tad’s pick there Rashad Lloyd like 100% he has the skill set to be a day2 running back but unfortunately running backs are not as prioritized in NFL drafts anymore as they once were so he’s 100% unfortunately going to slide into day3
He will get drafted he’s not GNA be an undrafted running back because he has the skill set to be drafted um not strong he’s a smaller back so I think I 100% agree with you Tad that he’s not going to be a primary running back for
Any backfield in the NFL he’s going to be a complimentary piece I can see him being like you know at James Robinson before he became the number one in Jacksonville like he could be that type of guy um David mcgomery is a good uh pick there obviously Roshan Johnson with
The Chicago Bears now like he’s gonna be that supplemental guy maybe he could sort of do a fill in if somebody gets injured and he could be a primary guy but he’s nowhere like he’s not gonna be drafted to be that type of guy he’s
Going to be drafted to be part of a committee so I mean he’s a good option out of the back field I know USC didn’t use him as much as a pass catcher they used him a lot more this last compared to his previous Seasons um so he has to
Definitely improve his skill set there show that he can be a more um a more able receiver what he goes to possibly if he gets invited to the combine I think he should be able to get invited to the combine a lot of running backs go
To the combine there most most of these USC guys should get invites yeah I think because the big name school he probably willon get an invite but even if just if he gets just his pro day he needs to Showcase his skill set as a passer because that’s obviously going to help
Him at the next level uh the biggest thing that I saw a lot of though with him is that I didn’t see he has the ability to do it because he did do it but I don’t know if USC just used him as much you as this type of Runner um he
Wasn’t a b the tackles Runner he has the ability to do that but I’ve saw more as like going on the outside they used him on these you know Swing Swing routes as far as going off the off tackles or of going off there uh but they weren’t
Using him as a d the tackles guy but that’s also speaking to his size he’s only coming in at five di he is built lower half so I mean he is hard to tackle he’s a one cut Runner um he needs to develop his patience Runner he’s not
A Gore he’s not going to sit there and wait for the block to set up he’s not a Lev Abell he’s not going to just sort of wait and then all of a sudden hit the hole he’s not that type of guy he can develop those skills but he’s definitely
Not going to be that type of guy he’s definitely like fighting the hole he’s gonna get aggressive but I’m wondering whether they’re just going to keep him as an outside Runner as outside Zone Runner that type of guy at the next level um but I very much like him to be
Drafted so he’s not gonna be one of those guys that’s going to go undrafted so Marsha lyd I like as a day three guy the other guy that I want to bring up is the other receiver we’re talking about Brendan Bryce Marsha uh sorry Marsha Lloyd we already talked about him Tod
Washington is the guy that I want to bring up here the wide receiver he like I said Brendon rice only led the team into receiving touchdowns but Taj Washington was a guy that led the team in receptions and receiving yards but the big thing that’s the problem here
This is why he’s going to fall a lot lower compared to a brand and rice he was primarily used as a slot receiver and you’re not going to use a high draft pick onto slot receiver so that’s the biggest thing he’s a smaller guy um he’s
A willing block I think that was one of the biggest things that USC probably have emphasized there with Brendon rice being a good blocker todge Wasington was also a good blocker he’s got very good hands he accepts the ball as it’s coming in um but just yeah I think the biggest
Thing is just he doesn’t have the size to consistently play on the outside maybe he could develop the skill set develop his route tree develop you know more of that outside awareness but I 100% think that whoever drafts him they’re going to draft him on dra three
But they’re going to use him as a slot receiver he’s not going to be used as a outside type of guy they may even draft him as like a returner as well so it’s like a SL slot receiver like maybe a number four guy that they use at the
Slot position but then also as a returner as well I know the Special Teams aspect of the NFL has sort of gone away with all the changes that they made and just like not the same as it once was but it’s still helpful to have a
Good guy who could sort of make a few key blocks get you at least 10 15 yards potentially get you a house call we’ll see about that but definitely a guy that can sort of get you a few yards instead of just taking a fair Catch and taking
The ball whever the punt is so I can see Todd Wasington fitting into that role but that’s why I see him as a day three receiver even though he was a primary option for Caleb Williams you may think that he might go higher unfortunately just his skill set is not going to
Translate to that I think he goes on day three um outside of those two guys I mean you may have a Jonah monheim the offensive lineman he’s coming back he’s going back to SC oh is he going back to school okay well I didn’t have that confirmation so that’s good that we got
That confirmation here uh but even if he did come out let’s just say I thetically he decides to change his mind before the 15th he has the upper he’s got the mindset to be a good off offensive line but he just doesn’t have the physical traits he still needs to develop a lot
As a blocker more effectively as a run blocker comparatively as a pass Walker he really needs to upgrade those skills for sure so we’ll see what happens as he goes back to school whether he can develop all those skills um the other guy other guy that I want to bring up
Eric Gentry the linebacker I think he’s got a lot of great skill sets to be a good range you know rangy linebacker sideline to sideline type of guy but he’s just extremely raw that’s the biggest thing with him he needs to develop a lot of skills got the
Mentality to do it he’s got the football IQ but you can see the aggressiveness at time he’s got the speed so he could drop into coverage if he needs to but just 100% thing is just he needs to be coached up a lot so 100% he’ll go on day
Three or he may be a high priority UND drive for free agent but those are the only other guys that I could see from USC um potentially being drafted or going undrafted on day three um so I I’ll start from the bottom up uh the problem with Gentry is he doesn’t have a
Spot he’s too small to play in and that’s the big thing to yeah he’s a little bit too clunky to play linebacker I guess you could say cener it’s kind of like uh it’s kind of like isah Simmons like where do where where do we play him
Is he a safety as a linebacker and he’s been like Ping ponging his entire NFL career because it’s just like you can’t be good it’s like when a team has two quarterbacks that means you have no quarterbacks yeah it’s yeah he he that’s the problem he doesn’t really have a
Spot he’s not a true linebacker because he can’t cover and linebackers in the NFL have to at least run with slot receivers now and start covering and then he’s a little bit too small to play defense of end yeah so um I undrafted he
Might go just to see if he could do it and then if he sticks he might have he’d be all right if they could find a spot for him but I think it’s in between mahim he’s coming back so I won’t we won’t even go down that world that that there
I um Taj Washington is very interesting to me um Taj Washington I think is very good but the problem with Taj Washington is he’s what about 59 you know what I mean like he’s a small guy and so the question is and he’s not a Blazer you know what I
Mean he’s not going to run by you and blow by you so does sorry just to quickly interrupt but it’s like you look at tank Dell me and Tad were very down on tank Dell entering the draft we’re like this is just GNA be another Tavon
Austin out of West Virginia a handful of years ago by the the St Louis Rams at that time you’re still St Louis how dare you how dare you sir but I expected him to sort of be that same guy where it’s like they drafted him in the third
Ground take Dale that is I’m saying here and I just expect him to be sort of like that you know a speed guy that they’re just not going to use the right way but that was the big thing he has Elite level speed he was able to make it work
In Houston but yeah exactly like you’re saying Al with Taj Wasington he doesn’t have that game breaking speed like a Tyreek Hill or as a tank Dell that I’m saying here so it’s just like unfortunately that’s gonna cause him to slip well I was gonna say if he gets in
The rush system where he becomes like a West Welker slot receiver or like those type of people he’s going to catch the ball and he’s going to make plays for you you just got it’s all it’s all just getting in the right system so we got to
Be if he falls into the right system and somebody dress him you’re getting him for a great value if he goes day three right you’re getting him for a great value you’re not burning your pockets on them you’re not putting on your stock in
Him so if he gets in he fits you know what I mean or even if he doesn’t work out you practice squad him and then develop him and he ends up working out like I think that would be a good get for him like I I don’t see that far off
He just has to fall to the right guy in the right system he’ll be very good in a West Coast system because he could run those intermediate routes he could be that for sure first down Marshon Lloyd is a little deceptive though Marshon Lloyd is bigger in person than he looks
On TV he’s a he’s a really big guy but he he’s fast right that’s why he turns to corny Burns and like you say he’s a one cut and go the issue with Maron Lloyd is he can’t pass block yes that and that you can attribute to his size
Like I mean he definitely was more of a hipper than like a guy who could take on the oncoming Defender so maybe he could develop that with a little bit more you know football IQ or whatever is build up a little bit but yeah that’s 100% I
Agree with that yeah he can’t pass block but if you get him in a good Zone scheme and get that outside Zone actually the spot for him to go is the Rams interesting interesting he’s a good he’s a good second choice you know what I mean and that zone concept West Coast
Offense I think that that will work out really so any any West Coast offense maybe he might work out in the Texas toast offense you know what I mean so if he goes to Dallas that might work out because Tony Po’s on his way out because they aren’t giving him as many carries
As they once they gave him the big I don’t know what the hell they’re doing we’ve seen it before with Zeke everybody blames Zeke like he’s not as good as he used to be and I’m like watch Tony po once he gets the big contract and he becomes the number one his
Productions dropping off are you saying Tony PO is not good anymore has got the contract yet he’s the number one but still we haven’t seen that’s what I’m saying like it’s not it’s not the guy it’s the different story for a different day save it for slack
So I will say this because I want to get your guys thoughts on it and again I haven’t watched too much of his tape but the the comparison that was kind of jumping off uh at me when it came to uh Lloyd was and and it’s not perfect
Comparison because he’s about 30 pounds lighter than this guy um he’s he kind of reminds me of Michael Turner a guy who’s like surprisingly fast who can hit on the outside and you know like for a guy of Michaels Turner’s size he wasn’t as physical of a back as you thought he
Would be again it’s it’s a very early comp there but I think their running Styles at the very least are something to think about his running style is more like Marshall Faulk I so he shift he is a little bit more he is more Shifty than you think he
Is like I’ve i’ I watched this whole season because I have I’m like you know I’m required to like he’s more bifi is over here all right like he’s more s than you think like and he’ll find the he’ll find the cut he’ll get loose but he won’t break away he doesn’t
Have Breakaway speed 100% he’s got good speed but yeah he doesn’t have Breakaway speed yeah so that I mean I could see that like number two back I I can see I don’t ever see him being a number one back that’s work who do you who do we start off day three
With um Marshon lyd was your that’s who we started off with so we we worked our way through um so let let’s talk about some people that and if you haven’t watched them yet we don’t have to talk about them Austin Jones Austin Jones is going to the draft what do you guys
Think about Austin Jones I didn’t have him on my list so yeah that’s a guy that I gotta have to note down as far as to do some research on just just that means you guys have to come back we just got him back for another all right was that your not so
Subtle way of be like I’ll see you in about a month here I’ll give you guys list right now Austin Jones Okay um where’s my pen Austin Jones Max Williams which who I think is going to get drafted day three max Williams okay and I wouldn’t be
Surprised if he sneaks into day two Max Williams interes Max Williams um how many X’s just one two please please don’t tell me it’s three if it’s three we’ve got a problem he’s got the one that was drafted by Baltimore well you won’t find you won’t find as Maxim
You’ll find him as as Maximus his real name it’s Maxim I’m I’m joking I’m joking I’m just messing with you it’s Ma damn it uh so max Williams uh I want to get you guys I want to know you guys’ op opinion on on uh deit so Justin deit you were gonna make
Me pronounce that name his name is Justin diit how dare you I just screwed up Bart Rice’s name come on true Justin beage uh and I’m trying to figure out who else there is there’s one more there’s one more I got my roster right here from the holiday
Book give me one second nice r as you’re sort of looking through your name Solomon bird Solomon bird Solomon bird okay there’s one other name that I do want to bring up I haven’t done a lot of research on him just yet but he is going
To be at one of these draft bowls so we already talked about todge Washington Marshon lyd Brendan rice they’re all going to be appearing at bulll so Brendan rice and Marshon Lloyd are going to be at the Senior Bowl Todd Washington’s going to be at The Shrine
Bowl and this is the other guy that I want to bring up because he got an invite to the Shrine Bowl as well and that is Christian Roland Wallace so yeah I be looking at him as well obviously we’ll do our East West game preview and review obviously what the game is done
But I’ll definitely be looking at tape of his because yeah he got an invite so I mean there must be something that the scouts are seeing with so Christian Roland Wallace is 62215 but Christian size for defensive back sorry if those people don’t know I’m surprised most listeners probably do
Know we’re we’re the anomaly here me and Tad R it’s like you know he plays defensive back in case you don’t know so Christian wall Rand Wallace is 62215 the problem with Christian Rand Wallace is he did not get a lot of reps okay so he doesn’t he came from
Arizona he didn’t get a lot of film I regrets that switch um yeah but the thing about it is he has potential a lot of people a lot of people that played in this defense kind of got swindled and so like you’re not going to see a lot but Christian W and Wallace
I’m interesting to see what you guys have to say about they have him at six foot 200 so he still looks big though he Christian wall Wallace is a big is a big corner I think he’s very good I like him I think he’s very good the thing about
Christian rollan Wallace is if he doesn’t work out a corner in the NFL you could give him a chance to go safety oh okay he he has opportunity to play safety because he he’ll tackle uh Mason Cobb also Mason Cobb is coming out also right so Mason uh I think he’s coming
Out he hasn’t declared yet but if Mason cob comes out that’s the one to look at too Ian January 15th comes around we’ll get a better idea as far as who are the guys coming and who’s going back and all that stuff so yeah that should clear up a lot
Of these things as far as like is he coming is he not I don’t know I’m still looking for my pen your pen well I’m trying to write all these names down man you’re throwing a bunch at us I I I don’t worry they’re responsible when sick and care of it
Yeah we got it are you okay all right um m m cob is to look at I told you about Solomon bird already right Solomon Bird’s want to look at um I feel like um High School coaching again trying to tell you guys oh my God who look at it
Recruit now I will I will say this while you’re looking is as like very early end of the show promo is you know shout out to Al because uh last year during the first round of the draft me and Amur were going to do just what was it uh

Show and he was only supposed to be there till about like the eighth or ninth pick and by God that man stuck by us he was so crazy he tried to FaceTime us from the car on the highway that is true had we had KCK him we% accurate

Is Al was gonna be back so and look like yes I know I screw up some names tonight but I mean that is my favorite part of the draft is come uh you know come April oh my God that second and third round I was exhausted because it was pick after

Fascinating over under three and a half quarterbacks in the first round that’s G to be a great debate to have so you know uh I’m probably on that’s going to be another interesting thing what’s the number going to be set for running back because I honestly think it might be
