Our preparations here on Lockdown Dolphins are not done

1:17

for the 2024 NFL Draft, but we've covered

1:19

enough ground to reveal the list. The

1:22

prospects available that I would not trade

1:24

away from if I were the Dolphins

1:26

with the 21st overall pick in this year's class.

is the list the list is the

2:28

prospects in the 2020 for NFL

2:30

draft that if they are available on the clock For

2:33

the Dolphins. I would

2:35

not trade out of picking

2:38

now This cuts both

2:40

ways You could be in a

2:42

world where none of these players are on the board When

2:45

you pick a 21 and you say okay, well,

2:47

let's let's regroup slide down the board recoup some

2:49

of the draft capital we lost courtesy

2:53

of the tampering or the Bradley chub trade because you're missing a

2:55

three and a four and We'll

2:58

come back on the board and try and find appropriate value

3:01

later on or You

3:04

could have multiple players of

3:06

the list that are

3:09

still available and those

3:11

that being the case you

3:14

would then kind of take the Mathematical

3:16

look at the the board behind

3:18

you and say how far could we go afford to

3:20

go down and ensure we still get one

3:22

of these Players or you might just be so head

3:24

over heels with one of these players on this list

3:27

That you stick and pick one of them regardless if

3:29

he's the only one left or if there's eight of

3:32

them left on the board No,

3:34

any of those outcomes. I'm totally

3:37

cool with But this

3:39

is from my perspective me evaluating

3:41

the prospects. I Want

3:44

to make sure that we take the time to define the list

3:46

for what it is I've

3:49

evaluated the prospects. I've worked

3:51

through kind of the consensus. I believe them through the

3:53

consensus top 75 players We

3:57

have obviously not done presentations on all of them. I

3:59

haven't decided not to do

4:02

that breadth of player evaluations and instead try

4:04

to cherry pick the right names to bring

4:06

to the table for you guys to talk

4:08

about. But

4:11

I've done the evaluations through the lens

4:14

of fitting for Miami's scheme,

4:16

what we anticipate they're going to look like on both

4:18

sides of the ball, what they have,

4:20

what they don't, what they like. I've

4:23

graded these players in

4:25

accordance with that

4:28

scope. And

4:32

what I have come up with is a list

4:35

of 10 players. Technically

4:38

12, but there's a

4:40

quarterback on here and there's an injury

4:44

flag that I think disqualifies a player from being

4:46

drafted. So I've granted a total of 12 names.

4:49

And there's a 12 highest graded film

4:51

grades and assessments that I have given

4:53

out for the dolphin scheme thus

4:56

far this draft cycle. And I'm deep

4:58

enough into the class that I feel

5:01

pretty good about not

5:03

finding any additional names, which

5:06

makes now the logical time to say, look, here

5:08

are in my eyes the 12 best

5:12

players in

5:14

this class tailored for Miami's scheme.

5:18

And if you walk away with any of these players, I'm gonna

5:20

do backflips out in my backyard and

5:22

I can't do backflips. But

5:25

I'll figure it out or we're gonna

5:27

have one heck of a viral moment on our

5:29

hands. If I don't figure it out.

5:31

The good news about the

5:34

list is there's a number of players who when

5:37

you look at their ADP on the mock draft simulators and

5:39

the data, there's

5:44

some that are kind of in

5:46

the ballpark of where Miami's

5:48

picking. So you feel like some of these you

5:50

have a realistic chance. I remember last year, we

5:53

did the evaluations and we're

5:55

talking about, we did the

5:57

Bijon Robinson conversation, the Jameer gives

5:59

conversation. Conversations like look these guys aren't gonna be

6:01

where Miami picks in the 50s You

6:05

talk about what a trade-up would look like,

6:07

but you really know it's not particularly realistic,

6:09

but they're awesome fits for your scheme You

6:14

knew you were gonna never gonna sniff those players There's

6:17

players on this list that you won't

6:19

sniff this year either because they're gonna be long gone

6:21

by the time like anybody's on the board that even

6:23

thinks about trading a pic and And

6:26

then the other exciting thing is that the

6:28

players that you know are going to go

6:31

before this that aren't on the list the

6:33

Jaden Daniels and JJ McCarthy's of the world

6:35

and the drank maze of the world That

6:39

are gonna push The

6:41

players on my do not trade away

6:43

from list or do not trade out

6:45

of all of them list Closer

6:50

and closer to you and there's

6:53

some intersection between needs and

6:55

value with this list Not

7:00

all of it case in point Caleb Williams

7:02

I'll spoil that Caleb Williams graded high enough

7:04

for this system and scheme that I

7:06

wouldn't be a player I would trade away from and

7:09

obviously there's He's gonna

7:11

go predictably first overall. That's not

7:13

saying I'm advocating for replacing to a tongue of

7:15

a loa I'm just saying in evaluating all

7:18

of the players in the class if

7:20

he were on the board at 21 He'd be

7:22

a player that I'd be like no I want to trade away from

7:24

him I Probably

7:27

not I think he's a very very very Promising

7:30

quarterback and in this system would be

7:33

totally electric But it's a moot point because

7:35

he's going first overall and that often are

7:37

going to pay to a tongue of a load. So But

7:41

that's one of the 12 highest graded players

7:43

on the list and I figured I'd acknowledge

7:45

him now and get that part out

7:47

of The way will cut the list to

7:49

11 for the next segment in which we

7:52

introduce who they are Including the

7:54

one player who from a medical

7:56

background perspective is is

7:58

gonna be disqualified from being on this

8:00

list but is an aim to watch if he ends up

8:02

sliding a little bit further down the board regard

8:05

again regardless of whether or not he

8:07

is a need for the Dolphins because

8:10

the ideal is to draft the

8:12

best available players and figure

8:14

out the rest as you go and they've kind of

8:16

been positioning in the selves to do that it's

8:20

not a complete process yet but

8:23

if they feel like they're close enough and they feel like they

8:25

have enough avenues for the other areas of need on the roster

8:27

then you're not married to well we have to get

8:30

a defensive tackle or we have to get an offensive

8:32

lineman we have to get a wider

8:34

receiver three right

8:36

so that doesn't account for any of this

8:38

this list but

8:40

it's the players that if they're on the board when the Dolphins pick

8:42

a 21 you do

8:45

the math and you do what you need to do to make

8:47

sure that one of them is available

8:50

when you put your card in whether that means

8:52

there's a surplus and you

8:55

move back far enough to guarantee you

8:57

still get one of them or scarcity

8:59

where they're all gone that would be the

9:01

trade-down scenarios but if there's one

9:03

left I turn in the car with

9:06

that name on it I feel really good about it I

9:08

feel really good about a immediate

9:11

contributor and impact starter for your

9:13

football team so we're

9:15

gonna get into who is on the list

10:51

So I've kind

10:54

of teased this list for

10:56

a few weeks now. So let's, we'll, we'll give

10:58

you the names here before the 10 minute Mark.

11:00

Hopefully make everybody happy. We've

11:02

acknowledged Caleb Williams quarterback, um,

11:05

is on the list as far as

11:07

just graded prospects. I

11:10

have three wide receivers on the list. Marvin

11:12

Harrison jr Malik

11:14

neighbors and Roma dunes. A you've

11:16

consumed any mock drafts. You know, those guys

11:18

are consensus top 10 picks, but they're the

11:20

players that if they were on the

11:23

board for 21, you don't trade away from those players. Uh,

11:26

offensive lineman of two

11:28

offensive tackles. I would not trade out

11:30

of if they were available regardless of

11:32

where they are projected to be drafted.

11:34

One is Joe Walt. I

11:36

was considered and projected to be the top

11:38

offensive tackle. The other is Troy Faton from

11:41

Washington, uh, university of Washington,

11:43

uh, state or Washington

11:45

Huskies. He is my second ranked

11:47

offensive tackle in this class, uh,

11:50

ranked higher than names like Olufushanu from Penn

11:52

state and JC Latham from university of Alabama.

11:55

I think Fatanu the explosiveness

11:57

off the line, the

12:00

Aggressiveness in which he plays his style

12:02

of pass protection I think

12:04

that all projects more favorably to

12:06

the scheme that the Dolphins want to run

12:08

and what they impress on their offensive linemen

12:11

and Because of that that

12:13

he is my second offensive tackle and the

12:15

one that if he's there I feel

12:17

really apprehensive about moving about now some of

12:19

these other guys like olu fushanu No,

12:22

he didn't make a list, but if he's

12:24

to pick a 21, I mean, he's rated four

12:26

spots out of lists He's a top 20 player

12:28

on my board. Like I get it. I'm totally

12:30

fine with the value But there

12:32

would be a place. There's a player on the list That's

12:36

there instead I would defer to

12:38

and these guys were graded in a different tier

12:40

as far as being fits for the Dolphins in

12:42

their office So it's not saying it has

12:44

to be one of these players But if it's

12:46

one of these players versus somebody that's not one of these players

12:49

I'm probably gonna feel like hey, maybe you could

12:51

have maximize your value a little bit different with

12:54

your in first investment opportunity I

12:59

Have two edge rushers on this list Jared verse

13:01

and lay off to lot to Jared

13:03

verse from Florida State We ought to a

13:05

lot to is from UCLA Lot

13:08

to is the best pass rusher in the class As

13:11

far as best rose as pass rush palette what he's

13:13

able to do to set up wins What

13:16

he's able to do to win inside or outside

13:18

or with speed or with power with finesse or

13:20

with hand usage Just a very

13:22

very diverse a menu in which he can

13:25

attack offensive tackles Whereas

13:27

Jared verse who I do have rated higher than

13:29

lot to Is

13:31

a player who has a little bit more

13:34

speed the power component a little

13:36

bit heavier set of hands He's a little longer.

13:38

I do think he's a

13:40

little bit more short area explosive where a lot

13:42

to is a little bit more fluid,

13:45

I think versus a little

13:47

bit more tight quarters explosive and I

13:50

I really think that

13:52

verse, you know, he's he's not without

13:54

his pass rush palette as well So

13:57

either one of those two pass rushers would get me very excited

14:00

Two defensive tackles, Byron Murphy

14:02

the second from Texas and Johnny Newton from

14:04

Illinois, both of them made the list. Those

14:07

are two players that have

14:09

the potential to be high volume players,

14:12

have the potential to be three down

14:14

impact into your defensive lineman. Different

14:17

strengths, we went over both of them in

14:19

the deep dive on kind of the top

14:21

defensive tackles in the class. Where

14:23

Murphy I think maybe doesn't have

14:25

as wide of a pass rush

14:27

and a hand counter menu

14:29

right now, but he's

14:31

more explosive than Johnny Newton. Newton's

14:34

really refined as a pass rush. I think Newton turns

14:37

the corner better than Byron Murphy does. I

14:39

think Murphy's a little bit better against the run right

14:41

now. So there's pros and cons in both, but either

14:43

one of those two interior defensive linemen, if

14:46

they're on the board at 21 and it's just

14:48

that player, you run that card in and

14:50

I wouldn't think twice about it. There

14:53

isn't a linebacker that made this list, but

14:56

this is the medical exemption. I think this is

14:58

when you get into the medical background for Peyton

15:01

Wilson from NC State. You're

15:05

just gonna have a really hard time finding a

15:07

team that's probably comfortable with drafting him in this

15:09

stratosphere of the draft. And obviously Miami spent

15:11

on Jordan Brooks, they have David Long

15:13

in the final year of his contract.

15:15

They brought in Anthony Walker. So they've

15:18

infused some players into the linebacker room.

15:20

But again, this list is not about

15:22

what do the Dolphins need. It's who are the

15:25

best players in the draft, specifically

15:27

for Miami's offense and defense.

15:31

When you consider the scheme, who are the

15:33

talents that have the

15:35

best potential to be plugged in

15:37

and be a quality

15:39

starter right off the jump. And

15:42

I think that's probably the defining variable

15:45

here. A

15:47

year one quality starter, I feel

15:49

like this list is those players.

15:52

Not to say other players can't or other players

15:54

wouldn't make sense. So you couldn't draft other players.

15:56

I'll keep saying it because I know I'm gonna

15:58

get comments. Why don't you mentioned Brock Bowers

16:00

or Brock Bowers is ranked 14th

16:03

on my list if

16:05

you get him a 21 just from a raw numbers

16:07

perspective you got appropriate value for the pick I just

16:10

got done doing the show yesterday should the Dolphins go

16:12

get Brock Bowers no matter what and

16:14

my stance was if he's there 21 you want to pick him

16:16

great I wouldn't trade up for

16:18

him because he's not on

16:20

this list so I think there's these other players that like

16:22

man if you really want to get the

16:24

most impact with your

16:26

pick I

16:29

think the year one and year one to year

16:31

three projection for Brock Bowers while there's plenty of

16:34

correlation and there's plenty of appeal these

16:36

other players I think offer more so

16:40

these are the players that I'm really dialed

16:42

in on Peyton Wilson is on the list

16:45

just from a film grade perspective but

16:47

he has several ACLs several

16:50

shoulder separations so

16:52

there's just too much medical history for a

16:54

linebacker there so he's

16:56

probably getting it pushed to day two as a result I

16:59

do have a corner as well I

17:02

know I can hear cured already dolphins another corner

17:04

with a top pick with Kendall

17:07

for and and Jalen

17:09

Ramsey acquired in the last two years from

17:11

pro personnel and Cam Smith acquired and Kater

17:13

Kohu is and it's like I get it

17:17

but Quinn y'all Mitchell's a baller man Quinn

17:19

y'all Mitchell from Toledo is

17:22

a 4-3 athlete with six foot

17:25

one 200 pounds 4-3

17:28

speed and

17:30

has showcased himself to

17:32

the highest ability for coverage

17:35

versatility and he plays

17:37

a premium position now that that positional value

17:39

is not impacted in the the

17:43

status of whether or not you made the list

17:45

it's strictly speaking I'd rated you against the scheme

17:47

how did you project with your current talent and

17:49

skill set against the scheme so

17:53

in order in which I graded them as

17:56

far as the talent this is like if you

17:58

were going to stack them one through 10,

18:00

like we're acknowledging

18:02

Caleb Williams exists, but Caleb Williams is going number

18:05

one overall Chicago Bears and Peyton Wilson from a

18:07

medical standpoint is not going to make the list.

18:10

Is it just the disqualifier pre draft process

18:12

is just as much about finding

18:14

a reason to disqualify someone from

18:17

being the investment because of the risk that is

18:19

incurred when you make that selection. And for Peyton

18:21

Wilson in the first round, the risk outweighs the

18:23

reward, even though he's my fourth highest grade of

18:25

player against the dolphin ski. So

18:28

he's not going to make the final cut. And

18:30

we're going to not include Caleb Williams because we're not

18:32

going to waste that time and energy. And I'm sure

18:34

some people would get upset about the conversation about any

18:36

quarterback being a picket 21 anyway, just because like, I

18:38

get it, but dolphins have their

18:40

quarterback. And if you want it to

18:43

be different, I'm sorry, this is their, they're

18:45

committed to this space. And

18:47

I try not to in invite that BS.

18:49

If you want that kind of drama, go, there's plenty of

18:51

other YouTube channels and podcasts out there for you to consume

18:54

to do that. So

18:56

one through 10, right? You

18:58

have a quarterback that's that's a null,

19:00

null and void. And you have a

19:02

linebacker with a medical history that

19:05

is disqualifying from the first

19:07

round in order one through 10 of

19:10

how these players ranked as far as best fit

19:14

for the dolphins, offense, our defensive system

19:16

with their current skill sets. Joe

19:19

Alt is one. I think he's phenomenal

19:22

is a prototype to the nines

19:24

former tight end and moves like

19:29

a tight end still, despite being just a

19:31

mammoth human being. I think

19:33

he's going to be a home run selection for somebody.

19:35

Marvin Harrison Jr is number two. I

19:37

know that's a little bit of an upset to have somebody over

19:39

Harrison Jr. But

19:42

I do think Alt has

19:44

really, really special talent and his ability

19:46

to be versatile on the line

19:49

of scrimmage. Is trumping the ability to be versatile

19:51

with where you line up and win on the

19:53

perimeter versus when the slot and

19:55

Marvin Harrison Jr run after catch is not one of the

19:57

hallmarks of his game. So that's kind of why the. consensus

20:00

of Marvin Harrison Jr. Is a higher rated player for

20:02

all 32 teams. It's

20:05

probably true if you were to apply for all 32

20:07

teams Harrison Junior would be a higher ranked player, but

20:09

if I'm putting it specifically through the lens of

20:12

who the dolphins are and how they look

20:14

at players I come out with Alton top

20:16

and Harrison Junior to Troy Fotano is three.

20:20

It's important to remember because when we're done going through the one

20:22

through 10, we're going to look at according

20:25

to pro football focuses data

20:30

Where their average draft position is across all

20:32

the mock drafts that are being run and

20:35

then have a conversation of like, okay, who's

20:37

realistically not going to be here and then

20:39

who realistically has a chance to be here

20:42

and where do they rank on this list because

20:44

that's going to determine exactly how excited you get to

20:46

turn in the car. Peyton

20:49

Wilson would be fourth, but this qualified

20:51

for medical background. So fourth is Byron Murphy

20:53

the second the defensive tackle from the Texas

20:55

long-haul fifth is Malik

20:57

neighbors from the LSU Tigers sixth

21:00

is Quinn Yaw Mitchell from the corner from

21:02

the Toledo Rockets Jared

21:04

verse is next. That's

21:06

one two three lost my spot. Seven

21:09

is Jared verse from Florida State the

21:11

edge defender Roma dunes a is eight

21:15

wide receiver from Washington Johnny Newton

21:17

the defensive tackle from

21:19

Illinois is nine and layout to

21:22

lot to edge from UCLA is 10 those

21:26

players in that order would be how

21:28

I would prefer to attack them if

21:31

they were on the board for Miami. Those

21:34

would be the players that if five of them are

21:36

left, I'm not trading down more than four spots to

21:38

guarantee I get one of them. If

21:42

you told me that only one of them was left and

21:44

it was Troy Fotano who's the

21:46

third-ranked player on this list regardless of positional

21:48

value or anything like that. I'd

21:50

stay and pick him if they're all gone then yeah,

21:53

I might look to entertain trade down get into the

21:55

next tier of players where I think there's some

21:57

players that are closely bunched together just missing the

21:59

list. We'll get into

22:01

honorable mentions next as well as the

22:03

24:10

Locked On Podcast Network, your team

24:12

every day. So,

24:18

the honorable mentions, I

24:21

have four, four that were like in the

24:24

very tippy top of the next tier. Because the

24:26

way that I do things is I grade

24:28

the players with

24:31

positional weight, or

24:33

with trait weight, I should say. Each

24:36

position has 10 traits that I

24:38

grade them on that are tailored to

24:40

Miami and what Miami does offensively and

24:42

defensively. And it spits out

24:44

a number out of 100, and

24:46

it gives you that as the player's grade, right?

24:50

And depending on what number

24:52

you get, it puts you

24:54

into tiers, buckets, if you

24:56

will. And the top two tiers

24:58

slash buckets are like the tippy top elite of

25:00

elite, like top 10 overall picks. And

25:03

then there's another tier that's like top 20 values. Miami

25:06

picking at 21 is kind of

25:08

in that weird limo where they're just outside the top

25:10

20. So maybe your expectation shouldn't be that you're gonna

25:12

get a top 20 value. But if you're gonna get

25:15

surplus value with the pick, you'd be looking for a

25:17

player that would be valued in a vacuum as a

25:19

top 20 selection. It gives you

25:21

12 total players in this year's class. Evidence

25:26

down on some of the other quarterbacks. They didn't get

25:28

graded in the stratosphere, particularly

25:30

for Miami and their system and what they wanna do. Brock

25:34

Bowers, we talked about him yesterday. A

25:37

little bit more of a Dalton Kincaid type

25:39

offensive weapon as compared to the be all

25:42

end, all tight end prospect, the greatest of

25:44

all time, which I've seen thrown around, which

25:47

just feels crazy to me as well. And

25:49

then some of the other offensive linemen, guys like

25:51

JC Latham and Olufu Shanu, guys

25:55

who have really appealing

25:57

traits, but I don't think they're

25:59

necessarily complete. Profiles for Miami

26:02

where I think about Latham and I'd love

26:04

to have a little bit more dynamic athleticism

26:06

off the ball right and

26:10

For Olu Fushanu. It's just the consistency of

26:12

the balance, you know There's times where he

26:15

overextend himself over top of this frame a

26:17

little bit more where I

26:19

think Alton Fotanu kind of play within themselves

26:21

and trust their athleticism a little bit more

26:23

they're a little bit more refined as far

26:25

as Optimizing their gravitational

26:27

pull and not allowing

26:30

their base to be compromised So

26:33

my honorable mentions Cooper Dijon from Iowa. I graded

26:35

him as a safety in the dolphin system I

26:37

should gray him as both a corner and a

26:39

safety He graded hires a safety. So

26:41

I put him on the list as a safety Brock

26:43

Bowers the tight end from

26:46

Georgia Dallas Turner the edge rusher from University

26:48

of Alabama and Olu

26:50

Fushanu offensive tackle

26:52

from Penn State, that's a grand total of

26:56

16 names minus Peyton Wilson would be 15, right?

26:59

So that's 15 names before you

27:01

get into Potentially

27:04

three other quarterbacks that be 18 names

27:07

and then you get into okay Or any of the

27:10

corners gonna go is Terry and Arnold gonna go in

27:12

the top 20 picks if he does that's 19 Is

27:14

Latham gonna go that'd be 20, right?

27:17

So you see here you start doing the

27:19

math police Fuhlaga who rated hires an interior

27:21

offensive player offensive lineman is compared to an

27:23

offensive tackle for me from Miami scheme specifically

27:27

He starts sitting here doing the math You can

27:29

get that number to a point where the

27:31

expectation should be one of these guys should Be

27:34

here, but realistically speaking when

27:36

you forecast them will they

27:38

be so let's look at the ten

27:40

names that were on the list In

27:43

order starting with Joe all his average draft

27:45

position according to pro football focus is All

27:49

of their mock draft data is seventh overall. That would

27:51

be the Tennessee Titans I think it's safe to say

27:53

he's not going to be there. So

27:56

That's one of those you acknowledge how great of

27:58

a fit he would be for Miami But

28:00

you also acknowledge it's a pipe dream. It's

28:02

probably not gonna happen same goes for Marvin

28:05

Harrison Jr His average drafted position is fourth

28:08

Probably going to be the first water see rough the board

28:10

if not the second water see rough the board probably be

28:12

top six pay So

28:14

the top two players regardless of whether or not

28:16

they're going to be available for Miami or not

28:20

Are probably a top eight picks which makes the

28:23

next two names really interesting?

28:26

Because Troy Fotano ranks 19th That's

28:29

two spots out of striking distance from Miami

28:32

and that's one player going in an unexpected

28:34

spot as a domino effect That

28:36

would put him in Miami's lap and

28:38

Byron Murphy the defensive tackle food from Texas.

28:40

He's 20th so that's the

28:42

third and fourth highest ranked players from

28:45

all the players in the class and Their

28:49

average drafted position in all mock drafts is

28:52

19th and 20th and Miami picks 21st That's

28:56

not it's knocking right on the door.

28:58

All you need is one Pivot

29:01

somewhere and you're gonna have

29:04

an outstanding value opportunity with that pick at

29:06

21 Malik neighbors His average

29:08

drafted position is sixth in mock drafts.

29:10

So he is Also

29:12

a pipe dream to be completely honest

29:15

quinon Mitchell from Toledo I know

29:17

dolphins fans are probably plenty that would be upset

29:19

with a corner He could rest fairly easy if

29:21

that's the case his average drafted position

29:23

and all of the mock draft data is 15th

29:27

so he's projected to be a top 15 pick that

29:29

would put him kind of comfortably outside of Miami's

29:32

stratosphere Jared verse, however sits

29:35

17th on the

29:37

list verse What

29:41

he's the second ranked edge defender

29:43

behind Dallas Turner predictably I like

29:45

verse better for Miami than then

29:47

Turner anyway 17th

29:52

right now is Jacksonville. They're a team

29:54

that could go edge.

29:56

They could go corner.

29:58

They could trade out they like a team

30:00

that's kind of teasing the opportunity to trade out

30:03

so that's an interesting spot to watch. Roma

30:06

Dunsey who's next on this

30:08

list, he's eight and his

30:11

average drafted position is eight. That's

30:14

either Atlanta at eight, Chicago

30:16

at nine, Jets at ten

30:18

is kind of the consensus strike

30:21

zone for Dunsey so that is another

30:23

those top three wide receivers just forget

30:25

about it for Miami. But

30:28

the last two names Johnny Newton and Leatu

30:30

Latu. Newton's 23rd and

30:33

Latu is 18th. So

30:38

what you end up having is

30:42

one player for sure based off of the

30:45

mocked aggregated mock draft data all of the picks

30:48

that are made for all of the mock drafts

30:50

on the simulator and it's not the be all

30:52

end all I understand that but

30:55

it is helpful information to process

30:57

the forecast of the players and

31:01

consensus boards generally consensus

31:03

mocks for these simulators usually

31:05

perform at about the same

31:08

rate of success as your average

31:10

mock draft that's put out by an analyst the

31:12

week of the draft. I

31:15

would know I've been a part of doing it for like

31:17

four years running with draft network before

31:19

I left there last spring. See

31:25

if a Tano 19, Latu

31:28

18 verse 17, Byron

31:31

Murphy 20, Johnny Newton 23. That's

31:35

kind of five names that

31:38

I kind of have soft circle

31:40

this realistic expectations that maybe make

31:42

it and if they

31:44

do then

31:47

you ask yourself the question how

31:49

many are left zero

31:53

see if I can find a trade partner

31:55

that's going to give me surplus value to move out

31:58

and then I'll go into the next tier and Pick whenever

32:00

I want to pick Ones left

32:02

you got to stay and pick that player. I think it's

32:04

too good of an opportunity to pass up Oh,

32:07

there's three of them are left. Does

32:09

Minnesota want to flip-flop? Does Minnesota

32:11

want to come up from 23 or is is Minnesota

32:15

trading up with Arizona and does

32:18

Arizona want to come up and and jump Philly

32:20

for a corner And

32:22

then we can pick it 23 we picked two

32:24

spots later if there's three left and they both

32:26

go worst-case scenario We're still guaranteed and maybe we

32:28

pick up a fourth rumpet like that's kind of

32:30

the school of thought here From

32:32

letting the board come to you and finding the value as

32:35

you go But

32:37

those ten names I think five of them you have

32:39

a modest chance to a realistic chance of seeing on

32:41

the board Are the ones that

32:43

if they're there? I'm

32:45

not trading away from the chance to pick one of them And

32:49

I'd be happy with any of Joe Walt Marvin

32:51

Harrison Troy Fittano Byron Murphy Malik neighbors Quinn

32:53

yah Mitchell Jared verse Roma Doin say Johnny

32:55

Newton lay out to lot See

32:59

what happens We're

33:02

gonna continue doing some deep dive prospects We're gonna
