2:46
A fun group to dive into
2:48
because this is. A
2:51
position on class for the twenty twenty
2:53
four draught that I think our opinions
2:55
have really started to evolve on. Over.
2:58
The course of the past. Two
3:00
months or so vs. like. December.
3:03
Or early January start of the pre draft
3:06
process. And will die you.
3:08
I had one impression this defensive tackle class
3:10
and it. Feels. Very different.
3:12
Now. That we've kind of gotten into the weeds on
3:14
some of these guys. Yeah, like
3:17
what it has to offer. I don't know
3:19
that it's loaded, but I think that there
3:21
are answers in round one. I think those
3:23
answers. In. The second round even some
3:25
third rounders that I'd like. And I think when you
3:27
have. Options. In every round that makes
3:29
sense that you feel like. Can. Have a
3:31
role, some of them being impact guy, some
3:34
of them being nice pieces of rotation, I
3:36
think you could find some help and that's a good place
3:38
to be because. Ah, This interior.
3:41
Defensive line stuff is really important in the
3:43
Nfl. You want that quick pressure in the
3:45
face of the quarterback. You. Guys, I
3:48
can get in the backfield and make plays. And.
3:50
This draft as guys I can do that. Yeah.
3:52
And I'm. It.
3:55
Did in here. Defensive line is one of those.
3:57
Curses. Healthy. The. Why
4:00
the receiver on. Offense. For.
4:02
You have all these different body types the play
4:04
the same position. that's really find that there's like
4:06
some positions but just like there's. Perimeter.
4:09
Wide Receivers Her slot wide receivers. and
4:11
and that the variance in stature is
4:13
that you get. You. Get
4:15
that no greater contrast then. Oh
4:18
what's you had? Just a Texas right?
4:20
when you consider Byron Murphy at three
4:22
hundred pounds, six feet and to laundry
4:25
sweated, six four, three sixty six. Ah,
4:27
I'm. So. I think.
4:30
We. Should probably acknowledged the.
4:33
Top two players in the class or spotlighted in
4:35
the. The. Right hand third here. if you're watching
4:38
on you tube it's. A consensus is
4:40
Johnny Newton and Byron Murphy and
4:42
one order another. I. Don't know
4:44
what word I think into our apartment. I don't
4:46
think I've told you what order I had that
4:48
in, but I did both of their deep dives
4:50
earlier this week. Ah man ah
4:53
I'm I have them very closely
4:55
rated. Let's just put Alaska why
4:57
he either cause they're close arm.
5:00
Real. Quick Before we get into, we're going to lead
5:02
off with Johnny. dude from Gam Illinois. One.
5:04
Of the fascinating components of this entire
5:06
defensive tackle ensued, events of my conversation
5:09
is like. How many market
5:11
resetting contracts by have went down
5:13
at this position? I'm.
5:16
We've. We've been talking about like these
5:18
top of the market thresholds. The.
5:20
Twenty million dollar defensive tackle is is
5:22
alive and well with not only what
5:25
Chris Jones of course Gop Crucible can
5:27
just a matter of weeks. Queen of
5:29
William, some recipients the Ron Pain, Dexter
5:32
Lawrence Divine Hargrave. Those are all like
5:34
in the last calendar year. Guys, I
5:36
get over twenty million dollars a T
5:39
y a defensive tackle self. Ah,
5:41
there's a need to find some value
5:43
out there across the Nfl. Yes, are
5:45
getting rookie contracts is an alley Valuable
5:47
proposition, especially when you consider. Neither.
5:51
Johnny Newton or By or Murphy. Seems like there
5:53
could be a top ten overall selection. So now
5:55
you're going out the top ten picks with a
5:58
rookie wage scale and you really friendly that. for
6:00
the next four years. So let's let's start rezoning.
6:02
You can. Ah from Illinois
6:04
A who. Probably. Has
6:07
the most overall would it? Would you
6:09
agree? He. Has the most
6:11
impressive pass rush palette and
6:13
resume. Have any Interior Defense is why
6:16
I'm in his class. Oh. Yeah. Oh
6:18
yeah, I. Firmly
6:21
believe that I'm. An.
6:25
Effect. Essentially the boxes we don't have the athleticism.
6:27
yeah I think he's would have a foot injury or something
6:29
making babies gonna work out and I'm going to the. Test.
6:32
Though in the next two weeks, I'm. Pretty. I'm concerned
6:34
with that because I watched him play at Illinois and
6:36
I know he's a dynamic athletes, but I think coming
6:39
in at six to three or four. Ah,
6:41
maybe the recent? He was an undersized guy. But six
6:43
to three or four, thirty two and three eights on
6:45
our my. Nine. And a half. On.
6:47
The hand size and then production over the last
6:49
two seasons. Twenty two and a half tackles for
6:52
loss. Thirteen sachs. Three year starter The Twenty
6:54
Twenty Three Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year.
6:56
This guy's been making a lot of plays and sell
6:58
over a hundred pressures the last two seasons combined as
7:00
well. Yeah man. On.
7:04
And the context of the Illinois defense To write
7:06
with, it's. Nike. Surrounded with dude.
7:09
That of the he's russian with it's not like. There.
7:11
Are as an amazing unit. That's that's.
7:14
Always a heading Games may get the tee
7:17
off and just you know, rush the passer
7:19
disguise right? Yeah, Yeah
7:21
and. I think the
7:24
other thing at a Press Me with with Johnny
7:26
was when you delve into his profile the plane
7:28
Twenty five games last two seasons. He's.
7:30
Played seven hundred, twenty three, and seven or
7:33
forty nine snaps. A lot like this.
7:35
Do that dudley the feel. Noom. And
7:37
you contrast that with Byron Murphy. Oh,
7:39
Texas rotated as a time. Or
7:41
they had some more depth. they felt little bit more
7:43
comfortable with. Going a full possession
7:45
were Byron Murphy's not on the field but
7:48
ah did said to know the to have
7:50
a player. Who's.
7:53
Acclimated to playing in thirteen
7:55
and twelve games season's over
7:57
seven hundred snaps. Oh.
8:00
That in itself has the potential to
8:02
be a really nice additional feather. In
8:05
Johnny Newton's Cat. And oh, by the
8:07
way, Ah, He will
8:09
turn twenty two. right?
8:11
In time for roster cut downs. In.
8:15
August Thirty first He turns twenty
8:17
two. So. He this is
8:19
not an older rookie night in
8:21
this the scale of as well,
8:23
so there's a couple like ancillary
8:25
parts of his game in addition
8:27
to this really robust. A
8:30
pass rush palette with how he wins with his
8:32
hands. I. Think is is he encounters
8:34
initial he encounters. ah he can win over
8:36
the tackle. He can win in the began
8:38
he can. He really forces you to take
8:40
half a man when you you attack him
8:42
from a pass rush prospectus. So. Like
8:45
that hq of setting up his pass rush
8:47
wins is there as well. And
8:49
that all paints together this really, really nice
8:51
picture for Johnny. You. Hop
8:54
motor that's cranked up loose and flexible. When
8:56
he can he has a chance, the corner
8:58
and get around or greece rush angle. he's
9:00
got it man. he's got the goods. And
9:02
like you mentioned, Lot of different ways
9:04
he can be box that. The pass rush repertoire
9:06
I think is is unmatched in this class in.
9:09
Your. He's got a lot of course ranked about him
9:11
to like. I think he a farm player that
9:13
some. Hill. Did not easy to
9:16
move with single box and he can
9:18
win with quickness and athleticism. but don't.
9:20
Get. It twisted you've got plenty of powers. Well,
9:23
Yeah. I think that and I'm glad you mentioned the
9:25
cornering that was. The other thing that stood out to me
9:27
about Johnny was I saw the all the guys that have
9:29
had a chance to watch. His. Abilities
9:32
turn tight corners. Really?
9:34
Stands out as well and that's what kind of
9:36
helps him. Take. These penetration opportunities
9:38
and turn them into actual pressures
9:40
and getting home on quarterback. He.
9:43
Really got a good news for the fault. Who
9:45
likes it? So like is Tackles. He's.
9:47
Out a couple of instances where he's knocked the
9:49
ball loose. At the point of
9:51
contact us at tackler as well. So just like
9:53
little little football, I q elements of his game
9:55
to that really part to me when I watched
9:57
him. about it there's a growth area
10:00
Johnny Newton, it's like I have
10:02
no questions about his athleticism. He's
10:04
extremely explosive. I thought maybe Some
10:07
of the snap anticipation to get off the ball
10:09
quicker cuz like when he goes he goes But
10:11
like we start anticipating a snap a little bit
10:13
more boy He can be
10:15
really really disruptive or even more disruptive than he
10:18
already is So
10:20
Johnny Newton Kyle and I are in we are
10:22
fans. I have a first-round grade on Johnny Newton
10:24
I would guessing you yes
10:26
do okay. Yes. No easy. Yes
10:30
Outside of about what the first 10 takes you
10:32

12:18
Byron. Murphy the second, From.
12:20
The oversee Texas. And.
12:23
He checked in at just over six feet.
12:26
He. Checked in at the Combine ads
12:28
two hundred ninety seven pounds. And
12:31
boil Boy. Is.
12:34
He showcase i'm height, your athleticism if you're
12:36
worried about the size and stature I think
12:38
is weights like twenty fourth percentile. And
12:40
as heights lower than that. Ah,
12:42
he has. Thirty. Two
12:45
and a half. Thirty two and three eights on
12:47
the arm length. Yep. And. Then
12:49
I'm like all of his explosive testing
12:51
be at the jobs. The short. The.
12:53
tenured split. The. Forty Yard-
12:57
So. Like eighty fifth percentile are better. Widens.
13:00
Very highly dynamic player.
13:03
To. Compliment Being an undersized
13:05
talent. On. The inside.
13:08
Cow. Crabs are he was. Eighteenth.
13:10
On Bruce Feldman freaks list. Some.
13:13
Met metrics that blow my mind in one that's gonna
13:15
be very very near and dear to your heart. Eighty.
13:18
Miles an hour on the gun for the
13:20
radar guided so. That's. Amazing right? Three
13:22
hundred seventy five pound power Sleep Power Clean.
13:24
That's amazing. Yeah. His. Front
13:26
squat is four hundred pounds. Four.
13:31
Hundred pound or five squat.
13:34
So. Let's apply lowly. Will apply
13:36
my college degree in Kinesiology hundred year
13:38
ago. You think about. Francois.
13:40
Quiet. And. Core
13:42
strength. And balance. And
13:45
you contrast that. To. You watch
13:47
this two hundred ninety seven pound do take
13:49
on double teams. And
13:52
he eggers like. You would
13:55
never believe. That. Somebody
13:57
who's to ninety seven play an inside.
14:00
Can anchor against the run drop
14:02
the knee and split a double team and
14:05
it makes a lot of sense to know that there
14:07
is that much core strength and
14:09
power in his frame and
14:11
then you think about the fact that he is six
14:13
feet tall and He
14:16
leverages it who's playing under
14:18
his pads nobody who's ever
14:20
playing never. Yeah, it's unbelievable
14:24
You are out to me in a big way Pound
14:30
that's not a back squat folks. It's
14:32
a front squat your core is And
14:36
it's full depth. I saw the video your
14:38
elbow's nice hip crease goes below the knees
14:40
my guy. He's an absolute monster Love
14:43
I really I like
14:45
Byron Murphy. He's my number one defensive tackle dense
14:49
Squatty thick build which we talked about and
14:52
it's the leverage like he maximizes his power
14:54
at the point of attack Because
14:56
nobody's under his pads like we can
14:58
talk all this nuanced football stuff all
15:01
day long Trench battles in the NFL
15:03
is still about leverage and nobody out
15:05
leverages Byron Murphy. Oh, by
15:07
the way, he's an explosive athlete That's
15:10
twitchy sudden flexible I think
15:12
I like to me everything's built off of that
15:14
like his ability to defend the run Nobody's moving
15:17
him his ability to rush. It's all of those
15:19
traits. They work together and I'm
15:22
just a really big fan of what he offers and I think
15:24
there's versatility as well to play the one and the three Yeah
15:29
So The last three
15:31
seasons he's played worn. He's played 120 snaps in
15:33
the a gap. Yeah In
15:36
three seconds I get seasons right like it
15:38
so that that versatility exists in his game
15:41
So much so that like I think he played in the
15:43
a gap more often than Tavon Dre sweat bit I
15:48
Right, that doesn't make sense on paper, right? Yeah but
15:52
I think I don't I
15:55
don't think Byron Murphy has the hand
15:59
utilization in the Pass rush that Johnny
16:01
Newton does but I think he's
16:03
a better run defender. I think
16:05
he's more consistent penetrating gaps
16:08
I do think he's more explosive and I
16:11
think the ceiling is there for him to develop
16:13
into every bit of a pass rudder He has
16:15
a better pass rush win rate, but then Johnny
16:17
Newton by about four and a half percent this
16:19
year Wow now I think that
16:21
might the structure of those defenses could play
16:23
a lot of those defenses and playing in
16:26
the big ten versus playing In
16:28
the big twelve certainly has something to do
16:30
with that as
16:32
well, I also am I mistaken, but
16:34
I feel like I Feel
16:37
like Johnny played a fair amount of like
16:39
nose tackle Like I felt like that Illinois
16:41
defense was like a lot of odd fronts,
16:44
which is really tough the Rush,
16:48
I think as a down lineman for what
16:50
it's worth the resource that I have has
16:52
Johnny Newton playing 70 snaps in the a
16:54
gap But only five snaps
16:56
in the a gap in 2023. Oh, okay. All right.
16:58
All right So
17:01
Byron Murphy, I think we the
17:04
motor also pops there He's
17:07
these nobody's gonna outwork him. Nobody's
17:09
gonna out leverage him on any given snap when
17:12
you think about growth areas for him One-year
17:18
starter that's kind of strange to me you maybe wish
17:20
that there was a little bit more robust of a
17:24
resume of playing time and
17:26
then I thought there were so a lot of instances where maybe
17:28
he got a little bit out of control when penetrating
17:31
and like come to balance a little bit and
17:33
finish more because I think he would make like
17:35
the Box score would be a little more kind
17:37
to him if he was a little bit more
17:40
under control when when resetting the last scrimmage Yeah,
17:42
I think that's fair where One
17:46
of the traits that I really liked about his game
17:48
it kind of worked against him at times But like
17:50
when he uncovers off of Like
17:53
a blocker and accelerates to the quarterback
17:57
it's like eye-opening
18:00
the amount of Accelerate like
18:02
that that one six ten yard split shows up
18:05
when he is Uncovering off of
18:07
a blocker because the quarterback has moved
18:10
off his spot or is flush from the pocket And
18:12
he's got to like flip the switch and go into pursuit But
18:16
that level of explosiveness even as a
18:18
shorter player with a lower center of
18:20
gravity Coming to balance
18:22
in those instances I
18:25
would totally agree is an area of
18:27
his game where like just a little bit of meat on the
18:29
bone That you could
18:31
have just that much more
18:33
consistent impact with I agree
18:35
with you 100% and then the other thing is I
18:40
think he does a really nice job of Persisting
18:45
with his feet through contact
18:48
To be able to sustain like his forward momentum
18:50
and he converts the power very very well, right?
18:53
So like he plays with his power and he plays
18:57
through contact fairly well But
19:00
he could get off of it Faster
19:03
if he had more clubs
19:05
in the bag for getting hands
19:07
off of his frame so like it's really impressive
19:09
that you're able to run your feet and push
19:12
through momentum and like Kind of
19:14
continue to work across phase or walk somebody
19:16
back But like get rid
19:18
of them and go and
19:21
that will give you more opportunities to finish plays
19:23
as well Did he remind you
19:25
of anybody when you watched him? I
19:28
Know that's a heck of a thing to put you on
19:30
the spot to ask. Yeah, you sure did It
19:34
look great. He Jared Yeah,
19:37
I think that's the appropriate stratosphere
19:39
of players to invoke here
19:44
Just the the the quickness and
19:46
low pads He's
19:51
been he's probably better run defender than
19:53
Grady Derek was coming out of college
19:56
I'd agree. So it's like okay
19:58
like if he goes to a that has
20:00
like some edge rushers. They
20:03
can that there will really put guards on an
20:05
island with him. He's can be a monster. And.
20:08
Like his sack production will be far beyond what it.
20:10
Was. A Texas. And
20:12
fingers crossed, he's not the Christian Wilkins
20:14
replacement for the Miami Dolphins in I.
20:17
Would. Hate to see the. Would. Hate to see
20:19
that for sure. But. Job would act
20:21
honestly be a great great choice. I think
20:23
about laughable when I mocked him. I think
20:25
I'd take them for the dolphins whenever I
20:27
was the idol. Easy to say. well couple
20:29
mock drafts ago. All right.
20:31
so we I think these are the top two I
20:33
don't I like I'd like to the other guys I think
20:35
these are pretty clear to the top two, both carrying
20:37
first run grades for me. Ah, but
20:40
there's some other talent available this
20:42

21:41
participating Mcdonalds must have been to awards. Who.
21:45
Is ideal for a. And
21:48
I think this is where this you
21:50
know that I crowdsourced inadvertently. About
21:53
who was idea one. I heard from a lot
21:55
of people. Are you and
21:57
I both fields Bar Murphy? I also by Murphy's I.
22:00
Okay to no I didn't know that
22:02
of Gaga. I. Just they did
22:04
the the floor with the run the sending
22:06
being so much higher. And then
22:08
and athletic skills said that. I think and give
22:10
you every bit of what Johnny Newton has as
22:12
a pass rusher. Is
22:15
is what it is for me. I'm a
22:17
part of that same group tax that you on
22:19
his crowdsource the lethal suppose people in a now.
22:21
They did not agree with us so at the
22:23
rate they'd be like the password profile johnny which
22:26
I totally get and. I
22:28
think the I think that's a flavor
22:30
preference between those two. Yeah.
22:32
Company. Ah. Heck
22:35
of a pair. Of I'm. By.
22:38
Audio Threes where this class really opens up.
22:41
And I figured we we cannot leave
22:43
it open. Man. Let
22:45
you share your thoughts on idea Three and I could share
22:47
my thoughts on on the a three. We can go from
22:49
there. I. Think
22:52
it's proceedings of Michigan. Ah six three
22:54
to ninety nine thirty four inch arm
22:56
so like you've got these are more
22:58
links and any the players who discussed
23:00
do this point. Of son
23:02
of Christians to time Nfl all
23:04
pro for time pro bowler big
23:06
time leader ah for the. Undefeated
23:09
National champion Michigan Wolverines.
23:12
I. Think there's. There's
23:14
so much to like here. I mean, Physically.
23:16
Odd has the goods terms of
23:18
length, quickness, flexibility, I think
23:20
he can penetrate get up the feel very
23:23
disruptive. Or farm anchor against single
23:25
box A Love the motor. I
23:27
love the lateral movement skills. He's a
23:29
guy that some. I. Thought
23:31
got better and better throughout his career at Michigan
23:34
and and played his best football in some the
23:36
biggest moments for that seen. On.
23:38
As the I think my big things with him for growth
23:40
areas are just like. We. See a
23:42
little bit more knock back power with the sands. The.
23:45
Still developing his pass rush repertoire little
23:47
bit. Video to them or
23:49
contact balance but. The. Link here.
23:52
With. The athleticism. With the
23:54
trajectory with the pedigree, That.
23:56
Has me pretty excited by him as ideal.
23:58
Three. I felt. So bad
24:00
for got like every game I watched he
24:02
was getting double team that a disproportionate rate.
24:05
like a lot of attention given to him
24:07
yeah which I think really rods him. He
24:09
talked about. Ah how he
24:11
handles single blocks and and what is length
24:13
allows him to do. And. I
24:15
thought he had really nice lateral acceleration out of
24:18
kind of that lock. Lock. Peak
24:20
find the football on the medals to
24:22
be able to. Process.
24:24
Where the play has developed and and in instances
24:26
in which there were runs. Are
24:28
in between the tackles where he could really
24:30
disengage and flow to the ball. I
24:33
thought that's where his best work showed. I.
24:35
Use my my concerned they're here with
24:37
with Christian Kings is just the. Pass.
24:40
Rush profile as a whole, Ah,
24:42
I'm. Kelly. He only really
24:44
broke out some some of the more
24:47
exotic counters. Later. And games when
24:49
they rub big. Ah, As
24:52
a is twenty pressures and each last two seasons
24:54
so it's not did they. There's not a lot
24:56
of volume getting to the quarterback here. Are
24:58
pass rusher. In winter, a pro football focus
25:01
had him and eleven percent. versus.
25:03
Johnny Newton was fifteen and. Murphy
25:06
was nineteen. So. Like it is
25:08
a lower profile in that regard but
25:10
I think is a high floor player.
25:13
So. If you're looking for. Somebody.
25:15
Who can at the very least play the
25:17
early downs for you and be really good
25:19
at controlling a line of scrimmage as long
25:21
as you're not going to play him. In.
25:24
Positions where he's are structurally where he's going
25:26
to face a lot of double teams. I
25:28
think that does. Our put him
25:30
in obsessive be the best version himself. A played
25:32
over the attack with time. I. Got
25:35
it and not nicely out the seek out but like
25:37
head up on authors of tackles at whether you like
25:39
a base and he did that quite a bit for
25:41
Michigan as well so I like that. Added for still
25:43
a to he breaks. My.
25:46
Ideal for east of under a sweater. Very.
25:51
Different kind of player. ah
25:53
i'm would love to hear your thoughts in concerns
25:55
and than i can go into why i do
25:57
have him as idea i have not completed my
26:00
I'm mr. Tavon. Oh you you
26:02
say things and educate
26:04
me and the listeners so
26:06
Tavon Dre at 366
26:11
is a big old fella who
26:13
plays Surprisingly high amount
26:15
of snaps. He's played more snaps in each of
26:17
the last two seasons than Byron Murphy has I
26:21
Played 503 snaps this season for Texas In
26:27
short-yarded situations It's
26:29
not just I'm gonna be unmovable and
26:32
just occupy There
26:34
is a penetration ability
26:36
here at 6 4 366
26:40
that you don't necessarily expect
26:44
For the quickness in short yarders. I think Kansas
26:46
Kansas State trying like three times inside and
26:48
he just Got into gas. It
26:50
wasn't just I'm gonna walk my guy backwards He
26:56
Does have the ability to if
26:58
you get one-on-one rushes for him
27:01
He plays with pretty good pad level. He's
27:03
not gonna be like Byron Murphy. I think
27:05
that was the hardest thing to reconcile Was
27:08
right the pad level of Byron
27:10
versus his pad level at six foot four.
27:12
It's just a different ballgame But
27:16
he also has a Lot
27:19
of power and he didn't test particularly well from like
27:21
I think you had like a 118 10 yard split
27:23
and His
27:25
vertical jump was in the 20th percentile
27:27
or so so it's
27:29
not a case like Jordan Davis where he cut a
27:32
bunch of weight and he came into the combine and
27:34
he blew the roof off Lucas oil and That's
27:37
now your expectation for what that player is
27:39
gonna be athletically He is what
27:41
he is And I think that surprised us a little bit
27:43
when he didn't weigh in at first in the
27:45
free draft process And then he comes to the combine in his
27:47
pro day and he's 366 and 367. It's like, okay Like
27:51
that's what you're on the roster at so that that's like
27:53
that's where you were But
27:56
he has I think
27:58
his wingspans like 88th percentile
28:01
wingspan just this massive radius in
28:03
addition to the amount
28:05
of strain That offensive linemen
28:07
have to play with to have net neutral at
28:10
the point of attack Just because of his stature
28:12
and he is 6-4 like he's not like one
28:14
of those six six six seven big guys You
28:17
think about who was it like Daniel McCullers,
28:19
right? All
28:22
six foot eight of them inside at Tennessee
28:24
and then going to the pros It's
28:27
not that kind of frame. It's
28:29
more bowling ball
28:33
so you have all of this
28:35
strain to have a neutral stalemate
28:37
and then what he does
28:39
really really well is he'll
28:41
utilize his hands and Displace
28:44
you using your strain
28:46
just as he's absorbing
28:48
it to discarding and
28:50
uncovering gaps and because
28:53
of his wingspan He's
28:55
got a large ability to separate himself
28:57
and then when he uncovers What
29:00
he doesn't have in lateral range and explosiveness
29:02
of some of these other guys. He
29:04
has the ability to just Influence
29:06
because of how big he is and what his reach is
29:10
Shouldn't own Kyle was gonna fall for the big old nose
29:12
tackle. So you
29:14
know, there's there's a special brand of news nose
29:16
tackle like if you're in the Hargrave
29:20
reader Bay Vexter
29:23
Lawrence like the Ron Payne bucket
29:25
like her special player and you
29:28
think is this is that aggressive
29:30
first sweat or I mean He's
29:33
huge He's bigger though.
29:36
So I I think the the
29:38
mock draftable page for Tavandre sweat
29:40
has some really good comparables Just
29:42
from an athletic profile
29:44
standpoint that I would shout out
29:47
Grover Stewart's the third highest comparable
29:51
and Grover Stewart Getting
29:53
what 13 per he came through the combine at 6 4
29:57
3. 47 Wish I just wish sweat was that I don't want him.
30:00
The Three Sixty Six. While. The
30:02
you know the other guys on this list that
30:04
that I think are applicable. Our.
30:06
Poll solely I remember Big Paul solely
30:08
I other Utah. We.
30:10
Like ten years and leave the he finished
30:12
in Carolina. Is. It my any for
30:14
like seventy years. Six.
30:17
Foot Four Three Three Forty Five.
30:21
Ah, still Taylor is on
30:23
this list. John.
30:26
Jenkins out a Georgia is on this
30:28
list. Six four, three, Forty six. Or
30:32
Etti Goldman's on this list. I don't think that's
30:34
necessarily is from a size perspective that he was
30:36
lighter than that by. Adding.
30:39
Valve whole solely I Grover Stewart,
30:41
John Jenkins. Those. Kinds of
30:43
players had meaningful long term Nfl prison seasons
30:45
in which they were playing five hundred plus
30:48
snaps. And I think the boundary so I can
30:50
be that yes, You. I think he can
30:52
be Dj reader. I think that's probably a
30:54
little pieces of a forecast. But
30:57
I think Kiki he will mean handle just
30:59
about every one on one situation. He gets
31:01
it the next level. Shutout.
31:03
Eddie Goldman signed with the Falcons to
31:05
that coming out of retirement. We
31:08
both liked him coming out of afford a state
31:10
so. See. The Get A Gun. Kendrick.
31:14
Alice. On. That list as
31:16
well. Why the names?
31:19
Are. You high you pick into Andras when. I.
31:23
Don't think he's a Kennedy for the first round
31:25
says because the pass rush profiles not there and
31:27
even though he plays a reasonable than the snaps
31:29
and night there is some nice pass rush. Ah,
31:34
And collapse the pocket power elements to his
31:36
game. And
31:38
lucky he saw a sellout he would your neighbors
31:40
and your neighbors had the as high profile is
31:42
oh my god easy to get be old play.
31:45
All. These playing time and escape yielded to win
31:47
his pass rusher is how athletic he is. Out
31:51
there. How's our house? A It's
31:53
just not. From a volume
31:55
perspective to justify first round pick. On.
31:59
i think middle of the second round is
32:01
about where it would start to become appropriate
32:03
to have the conversation of the role,
32:05
the snaps, the third down role
32:07
versus the early down role. What
32:10
it allows you to do, I do think he's
32:13
athletic enough that he doesn't
32:15
just have to be a base. Like
32:17
if you're a base nickel team, I think you can
32:19
put him in the A gap in nickel defenses too.
32:24
But when you get to third and are
32:26
long, long and late down
32:28
and distant. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank
32:30
you for that. I stole that from
32:32
Joe last week. Long and late,
32:34
long and late downs. You're
32:37
not going to have them on the field just because you are going to
32:39
want somebody with some more juice. So I'd say
32:41
middle of the second round is I think where it starts
32:43
to become appropriate to have the conversation for sweat. If
32:47
you're joining us on YouTube, let us know
32:49
who your third defensive tackle is.
32:51
I'd be surprised if anybody didn't have
32:53
some order of Newton and Murphy one
32:56
and two, but I think that's a bigger conversation
32:58
for number three. Give us your feedback. Let
33:00
us know who you think it is. And that is going to do it
33:03
for us here on lock on NFL
