We're going 27 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:15.639 to get into some topics from Vegas as Jamar Chase and T Higgins were on 28 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:20.840 Radio Row making some comments about T Higgins' future, about what could have been 29 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.800 this year. Going to focus today on T Higgins's future and unfortunately Willy Anderson 30 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.759 is still waiting for the Hall of Fame. We're going to start with those 31 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:32.159 two topics. Yeah, Look, I think there's so much made of the 32 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:39.360 Jamar Chase, Joe Burrow and LSU bond, and it's obviously, you know, 33 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:43.560 especially between Jamar and Joe, it's a great bond. Like justin Jefferson's 34 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.159 always thrown out there, Clyde Edwards a Larry and I'm gonna be guilty of 35 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.520 it. I'm gonna throw his name out there soon in that connection that bond. 36 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:54.800 Bad Moss, Joe Burrow, T Higgins and Jamar Chase as a trio 37 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.840 have been together longer than that LSU group that everyone talks about the bond, 38 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:05.000 and so I do think it's interesting when you watch k Adams right or any 39 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.879 of these interviews from Radio Row and T Higgins is talking about his future, 40 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.240 Jamar Chase is talking about his future, and Jamar's like, I don't even 41 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:16.439 want to go there yet, And I agree, because I think there's a 42 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:23.520 very real scenario where either it's the last season that they're together in twenty twenty 43 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.360 four, or maybe they've played their last snap together. And Jamar I think 44 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.960 already felt that and went through that with Tyler Tyler Boyd in just processing that 45 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.319 mentally, now, who knows, maybe Tyler comes back, but I think 46 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.479 mentally he's there, and so with t he doesn't want to be there. 47 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.400 And so I just want to highlight that I think they are tight. It's 48 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.879 not just the Bounty sponsorship that it has brought them together. I think they 49 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.759 are good friends. And they keep saying that that's my wingman. Well, 50 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.240 I wouldn't go that far. That's the little tag slogan that they're asked to 51 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.319 say for the sponsor, but I do think they view it that way to 52 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:03.039 a degree, like that they're bo and so that does matter, and hopefully 53 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:08.400 they can play together for quite some time. And that's kind of where I'm 54 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.800 at. I would like the Bengals to re sign Tea above all else. 55 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.279 I don't think it will happen, but that's that's where I'm hopeful that it 56 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:20.439 does. Yeah, the ideal outcome remains t Higgins extension and Andre Prada just 57 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:27.639 did some great analysis on Twitter breaking down how the cap percentages would compare to 58 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.079 the Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne Marvin Harrison trio in Indianapolis back in Peyton Manning's 59 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.360 day and Indy. The other thing from Higgins that I thought was interesting is 60 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.279 when they're talking about the future, te Higgins said, it's not really the 61 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:45.800 plan. It sounds like option A is staying Cincinnati. Option B is get 62 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.079 paid a boatload of money and free agency. Option A, of course, 63 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:54.360 also involves getting paid a boatload of money and staying in Cincinnati. Neither's a 64 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.639 bad option for Tea. You understand why he would take either of those choices, 65 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.639 but it does sound like OPTIONE is saying in Cincinnati. Meanwhile, let's 66 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:09.319 talk NFL honors. Six of nine major awards go to the AFC North, 67 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:14.160 and you know, every time something like this happens, I just sit here 68 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.959 and think, Man, the NFL show does fall over themselves to pile awards 69 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.000 onto the Browns, the Steelers, the Ravens when they do anything well. 70 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.600 The Bengals not so much. Although Joe Burrow did recently win Comeback Player of 71 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.399 the Year, Jamar Chase did recently win Offensive Rookie of the Year. For 72 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.519 these other awards, you have to go way back, and probably deservedly so. 73 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:35.160 I'm not saying there's anything crazy there, but there is an anti Bengals 74 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:42.680 bias historically from AP voters and Willie Anderson. I think in his still languishing 75 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.959 Hall of Fame campaign. It is a great example of that. It just 76 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:50.199 shouldn't be this hard to get the best right tackle of his generation into the 77 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:55.519 Hall of Fame. And there's another great group of guys joining Hall of Fame 78 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.920 eligibility next year. James, It's hard to say what's going to happen in 79 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.720 the future. It sounds like Willy Anderson was closer this year, and it's 80 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.480 a really good Hall of Fame class. But like I said, it just 81 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.199 shouldn't be this hard. This should have been done a long time ago. 82 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.680 It should be a no brainer. The fact that we're sitting here talking about 83 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.240 a year after year is starting to get it, not starting to get continues 84 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:25.519 to be frustrated. Yeah, I agree. And the crappy part about it 85 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.360 is I wasn't super confident. I know there was a lot of hope. 86 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:30.879 I wasn't super confident he was getting in this year. And it has nothing 87 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:35.000 to do with him. It's just the process, and I think it will 88 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.920 happen. But until it does, I'm just kind of like, Okay, 89 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:44.279 we'll see. It's almost like, all right, I'm the anti Michael Scott. 90 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.439 I'm not ready to get hurt again, So I'm not I like, 91 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:48.839 mentally, I'm over here because I can't control it. I'm not a voter 92 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.879 or anything like that. And me tweeting about it. There's been plenty of 93 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:57.160 Bengals fans, pundits people that have tweeted about it, and that's great. 94 00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:01.480 I think the pub is certainly necessary. And then you look at who got 95 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.800 in, and I would disagree and with some of them, not that they 96 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.240 shouldn't be in at some point, but I do think Willy deserves credit for 97 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:15.920 his tweets of being humble and respecting the process. At the same time, 98 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:24.040 I don't think it takes an NFL Hall of Fame voter to look at it 99 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.519 and say, well, Willy Anders didn't get in, Antonio Gates didn't get 100 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.639 in. And the longevity of Antonio Gates, how long he played, he 101 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:38.439 retired in twenty eighteen after the twenty eighteen season. Billy Price and Antonio Gates 102 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.480 played in the NFL at the same time. To just put it in perspective 103 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.399 that way, it's kind of wild. So yeah, I was surprised, 104 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.120 and not just by Willie but by Antonio as well. Just to show that 105 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:54.360 it's not just this orange and black colored glasses that I'm looking at. Hopefully 106 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.360 Willy gets in next year, though, and Antonio Gates is a clear easy 107 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:03.240 like I don't great, I don't know. Hall of Fame voters seem to 108 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:09.160 always get something wrong or some things wrong. This year. It's tough, 109 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.240 Like I said, like, it shouldn't have taken Patrick Willis this long to 110 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.199 get it. It shouldn't have taken some of these guys multiple years. Patrick 111 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:20.319 Willis probably should have been a first out Hall of Famer. There's a bunch 112 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.560 of guys coming up that are deserving of the Hall of Fame as well. 113 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.439 And this is part of the problem they have where they're only putting five guys 114 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:33.200 in from the modern list every year. Is there's just a lot of guys 115 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.759 to get through, and I think that is a challenge. But Willie Anderson 116 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.600 will be going into his twelfth year of Hall of Fame eligibility. I believe 117 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:46.399 he's gone three years now in a row as a finalist. Next year is 118 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.039 probably going to be four years in a row, I would imagine. Don't 119 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.440 think that should change. And hopefully it's just the slowest steps of progress and 120 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.559 working his way through the process. And we don't have to talk about this 121 00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.720 for too many more years because the guy's deserving of the Hall of Fame honor. 122 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:03.879 I don't know how much I want to talk about the rest of the 123 00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:11.519 NFL honors. James Kevin Stefanski became these thirteenth coach ever to be a multi 124 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:18.279 time AP Coach of the Year winner, and on a tiebreaker, so Lisa 125 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.159 was close, I guess, but they should really rename that award to coach 126 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:30.240 whose team outperform media expectations the most. Because Andy Reid's won at once, 127 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:35.080 Kyle Shanahan has never wont to Bill Belichick only won it three times in his 128 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.399 coaching career. The best coach just doesn't win this award most years. It's 129 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.840 the coach who x's expectations by the most. Yeah, a lot of these 130 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.759 awards are like that, and that's why you better not do in your profession. 131 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.080 Don't try to do it for the trophy are the hardware. Because you're 132 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.440 getting the hardware, it might not be the best sign. Kevin Stevanski did 133 00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:01.840 a great job. I also think that the voting eight he should have been 134 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:03.480 second Themiko Ryans would have been my vote. I would have voted for Puka 135 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.559 Nakua, by the way, So it's not like I was just thinking, 136 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.960 all Houston, Pooka should have gotten way more votes for Offensive Rookie of the 137 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.159 Year to me, didn't. And you know there's a couple other ones that 138 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.960 there's debate about. I'm not shocked about Miles Garrett. I think that makes 139 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:20.639 sense. You made a good point about Assistant Coach of the Year though, 140 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.200 Steve Spagnolo. Definitely, And we're recording this before Super Bowl fifty eight. 141 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.399 Yeah, he's bawling. How does he not get more votes? Regular season 142 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:35.120 voting is a problem. Coming up next, let's get into a mock draft. 143 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:41.799 Monday, we'll dive into some possibilities in another mock draft simulator.

Maybe you're thinking of popping the question, 170 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.720 or maybe you're looking for earrings or bracelet or a custom piece that you 171 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.960 want to have specifically made. Well they can do all of those things at 172 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.399 Shultz Jewelers. That's really what sets them apart.

They're going to have that and the right quality at Schultz Jewelers. 177 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:52.879 Check them out at twenty two h two Dixie Highway and Fort Mitchell, just 178 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.840 five minutes from the bridge into Kentucky.

Shuld Jewelers does 180 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.039 two because when it has to be perfect, it has to be Schild Strollers. 181 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.879 Here we are, James pff mock draft simulator, locked and loaded, 182 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.559 and let's see what's on deck for the first round pick. Let's see where 183 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:22.159 we can make fun of this draft simulator. Marvin Harrison Junior going behind Malik 184 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.320 Neighbors. There's one right away. I'm not making fun of them for it 185 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.519 wholesale. The first first five picks quarterback, quarterback, receiver, receiver, 186 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.679 receiver. You could you could see that for sure. Cooper Dejohn at seven, 187 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.240 though I could not see. Hey, by the way, Brian, 188 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.399 let's see Brian Callahan. If Jade Daniels is there at seven, seriously consider 189 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.039 it. Don't be all in on Will Levis. You must be out your 190 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:52.960 mind anyways. I agree Cooper Dejohn at seven, though that seems pretty wild 191 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:58.799 to me. Totally agree. The rest of these are. I know you 192 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.759 can continue to not agree with bo Nix and zero chance. I don't think 193 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.440 I do either. But we'll see JJ McCarthy there. Put JJ McCarthy there, 194 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.080 Sure, that'll be who goes in the top seventeen that isn't projected to 195 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:16.000 right now quarterback wise, So Bengals on the clock here, and the situation 196 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:22.879 just for the people who aren't watching and are just listening is Joe alt Olufshanu 197 00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.879 to Lise Fuaga, j C. Latham are the tackles that have been selected. 198 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.600 There have been a couple of cornerbacks selected as well. Yep, I'm 199 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:37.200 still thinking transistors on Newton. Johnny Newton also goes one pick before our pick, 200 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.840 a situation where, by the way, you're one hundred percent thinking about 201 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.200 trading up for Newton in my opinion if he gets anywhere close to your pick, 202 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:52.639 and you know, I'm probably considering this from twelve on if I'm the 203 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.840 Bengals, maybe even a little bit earlier, depending on the cost of those 204 00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:00.519 I'd be calling each of those teams. So there are trade up possible abilities. 205 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.679 There was also trade back possibilities. They're five teams interested in coming up 206 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:09.759 here, but probably look at the players available before we talk about streets. 207 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.159 Yeah, Terry on Arnold available, quin Jon Mitchell available, so two top 208 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:18.879 corners, Brian Thomas Junior available, Jackson Powers Johnson available kool Aid, McKinstry 209 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:24.960 available, Amarus mims of available, Troy Franklin. There are some options here. 210 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:28.279 Byron Murphy, by the way, who I do think. I think 211 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.559 there's a real chance Byron Murphy's gone before pick eighteen. I know it's weird 212 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.480 here, but I'll throw that out there now and put that into the universe. 213 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.519 I don't think it's just jerse On Newton. I think there's a chance 214 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.519 that Byron Murphy's gone as well. It's also early in the process, and 215 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:48.720 Byron Murphy's probably I think he's expected to go test like an absolute freak. 216 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.159 Yeah, the combine, and then you're gonna see, oh Man, Byron 217 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.600 Murphy top fifteen. I think you're gonna see a lot more of that after 218 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.960 the combine if you tests the way that I think he's expected to tell, 219 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.600 because then people will see it and people will see the RAS score in the 220 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.600 Nines. I think that's what's expected for him. Because as of now, 221 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:11.679 I wouldn't trade up for Newton. I would just take Byron Murphy. If 222 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.879 you're thinking the defensive tackle, I mean, if he's just going to be 223 00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:21.399 there potentially potentially an option. Tyler Geiton, Senior Bowl tackle stand out. 224 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:25.639 Also there Troy Fatanu, a guy who a lot of people are projecting to 225 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:29.679 kick inside in the NFL. But also there if you wanted to go offensive 226 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.519 line. Jordan Morgan from Arizona another tackle if you're just interested in tackle, 227 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.840 So a number of corners, a number of tackles. We took him Maarius 228 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.240 Men's last time he did this exercise. I think you said Jackson Powers Johnson's 229 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:47.720 name. I did well. Yep. The problem with this pick and doing 230 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.679 mocked off Monday in February is we don't know what's going on with the Higgins. 231 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.600 We don't know who they've signed him free agency, sure, and that's 232 00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.919 where it's always a little bit more difficult. But man tear on Arnold being 233 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.559 there, I think he might be the best corner in the class. There's 234 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.759 some really good tape for Terry on Arnold out there. I think that that 235 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:15.559 would be tempting. We've talked Quinon Mitchell, the corner from Toledo who Charles 236 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.200 Burke's worked with at the Senior Bowl. No, he would be very interesting 237 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:23.039 as well. Didn't even mention Layatu Latu, who has some injury concerns for 238 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:26.880 sure, But if there's an edge player in this draft that you were gonna 239 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:34.880 pick. That guy is the refined productive, checks all the boxes except top 240 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:38.839 top, top end athleticism. Still a good athlete, but not the freak 241 00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:42.160 athlete. But I think that would be somebody you'd have to consider there as 242 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:47.160 well. But this isn't one where there's a clear that guy fell, let's 243 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:52.519 pick him. This is one where you're talking about Arnold, Latu, Mitchell, 244 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.799 probably Brian Thomas. You're probably considering JPJ. You're certainly considering a Marius 245 00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:02.880 Men's and just going tackle. Maybe you're even considering Troy Franklin. Troy Franklin 246 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:07.920 if you just like him better than Brian Thomas. This is where it's a 247 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:11.359 very interesting set of players and where I'm looking at this trade, I'm like, 248 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.119 oh, yeah, trade back to twenty two. I'm still going to 249 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.559 get somebody I really like and in real life probably would consider that strongly. 250 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.640 But what's your lenk? Yeah? Right now, I would say either Terry 251 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.920 On Arnold or Byron Murphy. Those would be the two that they stick out 252 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.559 to me the most. I think Murphy clearly the bigger need. We don't 253 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:37.000 know about defensive tackle. It's kind of a cheat code right now in PFF 254 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:41.759 mock simulator to your point, because he's just there. He's ranked thirtieth, 255 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.200 so he's going to be there in a lot of mocks. But that's that's 256 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:49.200 where I'm at. If he's there, I don't think there's a standout offensive 257 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.039 tackle right now we could have taken. We could take a Marius Mems Again, 258 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.720 I go the other way this week. I lean Murphy and Terry On 259 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.599 Arnold would be a close second. But if either one of those eyes are 260 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.119 there, I think that they would be legit contenders for the eighteenth pick. 261 00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:07.720 And I think they're above just slightly above a quent Yan Mitchell, slightly above 262 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:12.400 Jackson Powers Johnson, above a Brian Thomas, above Franklin. So those are 263 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.920 the two for me and Eileen Murphy just based on need. I'm happy to 264 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.240 pick Murphy here. You look at the PFF profile here. If you're watching 265 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:22.640 on YouTube, you can see it. I'll just talk about some of these 266 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.759 things for the people that are just listening. The past Rush win rate nineteen 267 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:32.839 point six percent is insane for an interior defensive lineman. That's like pretty close 268 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.160 to t J. Watts win rate at the edge position last year. I 269 00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:41.119 think he was like a twenty three percent past rush win rate guy last year. 270 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:45.240 That's in the ninety ninth or higher percentile as you can see four prospects 271 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:49.920 for defensive interior prospects, but still has a really high run stop win rate 272 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.559 or run stop rate as well, nine and a half percent run stop rate 273 00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:59.920 probably like ninetieth percentile plus judging where the dot is there, really good pass 274 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:06.359 rush grading, really good true pass set, pass rush productivity. Doesn't necessarily 275 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:10.799 have like loads of sacks, right he only has six sacks charted by PFF 276 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:14.480 in two thousand and three. But you keep in mind that Texas is playing 277 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:18.480 him in weird twenty twenty three. You keep in mind that Texas is playing 278 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.720 him in weird alignments. They're playing him in nose quite a bit. Just 279 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.400 compare that to Newton has a higher pass rush win rate, a higher run 280 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.599 stop rate, higher grading from PFF. Not that those are the be all, 281 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.440 end all, but just something that's interesting. And let's just make it 282 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.920 back to back interior defensive lineman here in the draft, and part of it 283 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.680 is for the sake of doing something different. Maybe Amarus Men's would just be 284 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.599 the pick here. Maybe you just think Terry on Arnold is that much higher 285 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:48.920 ranked of a prospect based on your film evaluations. Maybe you want to take 286 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.119 the risk on law to and just get a high end edge player. But 287 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.640 let's go Byron Murphy will come back in just a minute and get to the 288 00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:03.559 second and third rounds to finish up this week's mock Draft Monday.

Subject to change terms apply. Hi, I'm 306 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.720 Jake from Lockdown. Think of all the amazing things in life that are expressions 307 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:19.319 of you. Your favorite football team, what you wear to the playoff watch 308 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.640 party, that song that you stream over and over to get you pumped up 309 00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.720 for the gym, or the recommendations that you share with your friends on the 310 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.279 top six comedy podcasts that are best to listen to you on a long roadship. 311 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.960 Or even your new haircut, which may or may not be an epic 312 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.799 ball cut from the nineties and hopefully is everything that makes you you makes all 313 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.640 the difference. State Farm believes insurance should work the same way you're playing. 314 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.319 Your coverage selections can be personalized by you and the ability to choose the plan 315 00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.839 you want by picking the options that fit you, like choosing to bundle your 316 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:53.279 home and auto policies is what the State Farm Personal Price Plan is all about, 317 00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:57.640 getting the coverage you want at an affordable price just for you, like 318 00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:02.680 a good neighbor. State farming there places are based on rating planes that vary 319 00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:06.319 by state. Coverge options are selected by the customer availability, amount of discounts 320 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:10.640 and savings in eligibility vary by state. So Jake, for the first time 321 00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.480 since nineteen ninety four, the Bengals just took an interior defensive lineman in the 322 00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:19.599 first round. Since Dan Big Daddy Wilkinson, we're able to go against the 323 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:26.400 grain with Byron Murphy and well Terry On Arnold went to the Rams right afterwards, 324 00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:29.880 Lattu went to the Steelers, so you got to deal with him. 325 00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.279 Jackson Powers, Johnson, Brian Thomas, Junior Quinjon Mitchell all off the board 326 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.319 of Marius Mims a few picks later, So all the guys that we were 327 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.680 talking about go. Lad McConkie goes to the Ravens at thirty, Tyler Geiton 328 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.759 off the board at thirty three, Troy Fatanu at thirty five, a Donni 329 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:51.920 Mitchell at thirty six, Darius Robinson at thirty nine. He's interesting. Keihan 330 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:55.880 Coleman off the board at forty Chop Robinson at forty five, devontees Walker at 331 00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:57.440 forty six. Chris Jenkins by the way, so if you're thinking, oh, 332 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:00.240 maybe Jenkins will be that at forty nine, he goes off the board 333 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:04.519 at forty seven. Christian Haynes, the interior lemon from Connecticut that we've talked 334 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:11.880 about at forty eight. So a lot of guys that we've discussed at some 335 00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.000 point on this pod off the board. One guy that is on the board 336 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:21.279 that we talked about late last week, Patrick Paul still available, So that's 337 00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:25.200 someone that's near the top of of the PFF board right now. And Kingsley. 338 00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:29.160 Sue Mattea, which was the guy Suma Matteia, which was one of 339 00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:32.160 the guys I was going to go look for. And what's his name, 340 00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:38.799 Sua Matteia, you pronounced I don't know, you pronounced the I is the 341 00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:41.839 tip from Parker. Parker Blake, who was with us last week, pronounced 342 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:48.319 all the vowels in Islander names. Sue Matteia, Yeah, it'sa nope, 343 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:56.240 Sue Matia, su Sue Sue Mattea. I gotta get it down before they 344 00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.559 pick him forty ninth overall. All right, Kingsley, Hey Matea, Yeah, 345 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.240 Sue Matteia, Yep. The crazy part is I have Yosi Vash down 346 00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:08.160 in most of Cincinnati can't do it. So I'm gonna get Sue Matteia down 347 00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.680 by draft night. I got a lot of things, a lot of syllables, 348 00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:18.519 salavels, sala levels. Uh played right tackle. If you're watching on 349 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.119 YouTube, you can see he played six hundred and eighty seven right tackle snaps 350 00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.559 in twenty twenty two, six hundred and forty four right left tackle snaps in 351 00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:29.559 twenty twenty three, so he's played both sides. He was a transfer, 352 00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:37.799 But the upside with Sue Matilla Sua Matteia is very, very high. And 353 00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:42.920 we talked about last week one of the one of the Sewel relatives. So 354 00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:48.079 has that bloodline going as well, Patrick Paul, I think maybe he's going 355 00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:53.680 to be the higher rated PFF prospect probably throughout the process, might be seen 356 00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:57.880 as a higher floor player, but never played right tackle. And I'm ignoring 357 00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:03.680 pretty much every other position here because I think this is the latest you can 358 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:06.200 get a tackle. And I don't know that you will be able to get 359 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:11.319 Sue Matilla here in real life. But Tavion Sanders also available. Some wide 360 00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:14.960 receivers that I think would be interesting, Tremaine Burton from Alabama, Da limp 361 00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:19.559 Polk from Washington. I think JJ McCarthy is still available. That's never gonna 362 00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:23.519 happen. Yeah, never anyways, sorry, And Tovandre Sweatt continues to be 363 00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:27.039 available in the second round of these. So this is where if you're doing 364 00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:30.880 these and you're only doing the simulators, like I can get derevondreswent in the 365 00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.920 second round. Of course, I'm taking a tackle in the first round. 366 00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:38.160 Yeah, would how tempting would you be? And it depends on free agency 367 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.799 just to keep Murphy and Sweat together. And just like if this did play 368 00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:49.240 out and and it's Sue Matilla, Sue Matteia, right, Kingsley, It's 369 00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:52.759 Kingsley and Tandre No, you got it right the second time, nailed it? 370 00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:57.440 Yeah, So would you still go offensive tackle? Let let's say they 371 00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:03.200 signed Jermaine Ilumini, which which way would you go here? I would still 372 00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:07.480 be very tempted by the upside with Sue Mattia at the same time. I 373 00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:10.400 mean, we talked last week about how much of that sweat, but I 374 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:14.720 would take the offensive tackle sweat and Murphy together. I'm drooling, but let's 375 00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:18.039 together. It would be fun. Let's go, uh, Sue Mattea. 376 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:23.200 Yeah, gotta say it with your chest, Sue Mattea, just just because 377 00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.519 I think the fall off there just I agree. We'll just look at tackle 378 00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:30.920 and maybe you can make an argument for Patrick Paul here. But like Dominic 379 00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:34.880 Pooney from Kansas, I don't think he's staying at tackle in the NFL. 380 00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:38.599 We talked about him with Mike last week a little bit, and then there's 381 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:45.480 huge gap. Christian Jones is probably the next guy, and the serious reason 382 00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:49.400 that he would not be picked in the second round, and chief among those 383 00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:52.279 is that he's like a twenty three year old. Oh I'm not saying picking 384 00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.480 that, but that's it is like the drop off and then you're talking about 385 00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.240 one guy. So no, let's go Sue a Mateia and see what we 386 00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:03.240 have next. I think what we're hoping for next, just just to look 387 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.000 ahead a little bit here, as I like to do, is Roman. 388 00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:10.319 One of these receivers. Roman see, that's not who I'm targeting. But 389 00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:14.680 I wouldn't be opposed, just not the guy I'm singling out. Let's see 390 00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:19.480 who we got, all right, So Kingsley, we officially take Sue Matteia. 391 00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:22.400 All right, Let's see what we're gonna do here at pick eighty. 392 00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:26.000 Xavier let Guette off the board, Jalen Polk off the board, Jatavian Sanders 393 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.559 off the board, Patrick Paul, Ricky Pursall. Look at that run on 394 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:34.960 receivers. Four receivers in a tight end in the next five pick. And 395 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.599 this is I think somewhat realistic. There's gonna be crazy runs on receiver in 396 00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:41.920 this draft. There is. It's it's funny. Everyone says how deep it 397 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:45.400 is, and it is. But they're gonna go like, there's gonna be 398 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:49.160 a lot of receivers taken, just like the tackles are gonna go no doubt, 399 00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:53.599 gonna go quick. And there isn't that depth of defensive tackle to wait 400 00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:56.839 super long either. They're gonna have to address one of the positions in free 401 00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:03.160 agency. Brandon Fisk. Branden f goes sixty sixth overall. IF's there at 402 00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:04.519 eighty, yeah, well, I mean, if he's there at eighty, 403 00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:07.200 I'd be in on it. I don't think you could take it much earlier 404 00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.119 than that. Roman Wilson off the board. Did the Jets come on? 405 00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.200 And JJ McCarthy off the board of the Broncos, that'd be crazy. And 406 00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:19.480 I gets picked Jarvis Bradley, one of Mike's favorite performers at the Senior Bowl. 407 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:22.119 He's going to be flying up Mark mock drafts. That's the name of 408 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:26.440 this noteworthy if you were listening last week. Bernardo Green another guy that's flying 409 00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.440 up right now on the post All Star Game process. And man Brandon Dorless 410 00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:37.000 one pick away from the Bengals pick in the third round, which Jalen McMillan 411 00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.559 too, Washington receiver. It's gone seems a little crazy that I don't know 412 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.440 what I know. Yeah, I know about your guy. You're not that 413 00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:48.799 guy. It's a different set of guys, although that's one of them. 414 00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:52.559 But Brandon Dorlyss is a guy that I would consider the second round for the 415 00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:59.759 Bengals. So talking about rare defensive lineman or landing in this draft, that 416 00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:04.519 is very interesting. I'm in on Trey Benson at eighty, by the way, 417 00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:10.160 so put him on as a potential option here. I'm not too familiar 418 00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:12.359 with the running back said I want to go look at, but he was 419 00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:15.960 familiar with your game. Oh you will be big dog. Benson is a 420 00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:19.400 problem. I just go back to when Mike Renner told us that there's like 421 00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:22.559 three running backs in this class that he would have graded ahead of Chase Brown 422 00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:26.519 and Trey Benson is one of them. I'm sure. But but running back 423 00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:30.400 really just went on the back burner after here. Yeah, I can't all 424 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:36.000 on that, though. I think that there's a very real possibility to after 425 00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:41.200 running back starting probably at this pick. I'm just saying I downloaded like eight 426 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:45.319 games to watch last night, and it's Ricky Piersoll, Brian Thomas, Adenin, 427 00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:51.039 Mitchell cade Stover, and Jatavian Sanders. None of those are running backs. 428 00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:56.200 Fair anyway, Leonard Taylor, speaking of defensive interior in the third round, 429 00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:00.920 I think would be extremely interesting. Let's look at wide receiver, because 430 00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:03.400 that's what I want to look at right now. I don't know about you, 431 00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:07.559 Malachi Corley. I don't know that you'll get him in the third round, 432 00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:11.440 but certainly interesting. Jamari Thrash is actually the guy then I was very 433 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.880 interested in seeing here Jon Baker the other one. I'm going to buy you 434 00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:21.319 a Javon Baker jersey if he goes to someone that isn't like an AFC North 435 00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:23.200 team or the Chiefs. No, just get you one. I will be 436 00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:26.640 watching his career with great interest. Still need to find his tape. Don't 437 00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.000 don't have access to any of his tape yet. I've only been able to 438 00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.680 watch. I went Marcus for see me Jack Saint because of his name, 439 00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:37.480 that's a great name. Molie Washington is another guy that I think people will 440 00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:42.440 have to familiarize ourselves with just from like crazy production profile had a crazy All 441 00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:47.880 Star game as well, but by and a wide receiver that is very much 442 00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:51.240 not the Bengals type. No, you got to be at least my height 443 00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:56.559 five nine the other name here that I that's not their threshold. Just to 444 00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.000 be clear for everybody. Well, it is at least that it's higher than 445 00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:05.960 that. But it is higher than that. Luke McCaffrey. I don't think 446 00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:07.839 in the third round as a guy considering, but another wide receiver to mention 447 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:13.680 that I think will be higher than he's currently situated in the semi in fourth 448 00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:15.279 round, you know if he's there and you need one, you know, 449 00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:20.200 it could certainly be in the mix. Certainly like his pedigree. You take 450 00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:22.599 him Thrash. I'm not going to say no to a receiver, man. 451 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:25.480 I would have taken three receivers. I like Jamury Thrash quite a bit. 452 00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:29.559 As you can see here on PFF. It seems to be some drop rate 453 00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:32.119 issue, seems to be some contested catch issues. A red shirt junior had 454 00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:36.359 a great senior Bowl. I would just look at tight end as well. 455 00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:39.160 I don't know a lot about Thrash. I'm not gonna lie to you, 456 00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:43.200 not yet. Kate ken Sover Benson not will be the tight ends here. 457 00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:45.279 Theo Johnson another one that stand out. I think all three of those guys 458 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:50.960 and jaheem Bell could all be in this late third between the Bengals third and 459 00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:54.200 fourth round pick kind of range. Honestly, I think we should go with 460 00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:58.720 your guy, though not Jamury Thrash. Let's do it because we haven't picked 461 00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:02.400 him right. We have picked Javon Baker, and I think, like you, 462 00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:07.279 a lot of people are viewing him, starting to see him. I'm 463 00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:09.480 seeing him mention more and more. There's a real chance he's not even available 464 00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:13.599 at pick eighty. I see people in the simulators getting him in round four 465 00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:16.279 and five. Yeah, no, that's not happening. I think eighty could 466 00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:20.640 be his floor, you know, in that third range, the third round, 467 00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:22.240 day two is his floor. Maybe not eighty, but eighty for the 468 00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:27.279 Bengals. So let's take him. He's your guy, and you know me, 469 00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:29.960 I love wide receivers. Javon Baker. Let's roll with a baby, 470 00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:31.680 even though Trey Benson is in there. Trey Benson is in there for me, 471 00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:36.000 ladies and gentlemen. Absolute flair. When I was talking to Mike Renner 472 00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:39.440 about Baker last week, he told me second round is probably where the Bengals 473 00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:43.920 would need to pick Baker. And this is a guy that great change the 474 00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:46.119 direction ability. I think he's a good route runner, insame ball skills, 475 00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:50.480 ability to play above the ram, plays bigger than his size just under six 476 00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:53.759 ' one. The only thing missing from his game is vertical speed acceleration. 477 00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:58.359 But then at the Senior Bowl he was the fastest wide receiver. I believe 478 00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:02.440 at the Senior Bowl fifth fifth fastest player by GPS. So if you can 479 00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:08.119 answer those speeding questions and go run a nice forty Javon Baker as a future 480 00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:14.719 two I guess across from Jamar ch Ace in that world. Barretie Higgins is 481 00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:19.199 not a future Cincinnati Bengal long term would be my guy. And PFF is 482 00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:22.400 gonna kill this one. We're gonna get like a C minus for that pick, 483 00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:30.199 D minus D for the Javon Baker pick. If man, this is 484 00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:32.960 going in college? This is you in college, man, D minus Wow, 485 00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:40.719 never my life, never me, neither me neither uh didn't love Anytia 486 00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:45.039 Sue a Mateia got a B It's Sue a mattea. I'm getting it right. 487 00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:50.559 Byron Murphy C plus on Draft night, the Byron Murphy pick would be 488 00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:57.199 an A minus from PFF. Kingsley Sue Matilla will be probably another A minus, 489 00:34:57.239 --> 00:35:00.360 and I think Baker at eighty would also be I think this is actually 490 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:02.840 an A. So there you go. I would like it.
