We're going to get into 24 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:07.199 some topics from Vegas as Jamar Chase and t Higgins were on Radio Row making 25 00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:10.680 some comments about t higgins future, about what could have been this year. 26 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.759 Going to focus today on t higgins future and unfortunately Willy Anderson is still waiting 27 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:20.199 for the Hall of Fame. We're gonna start with those two topics. Yeah. 28 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:24.080 Look, I think there's so much made of the Jamar Chase, Joe 29 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:31.080 Burrow and LSU bond, and it's obviously, you know, especially between Jamar 30 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.919 and Joe, it's a great bond, Like justin Jefferson's always thrown out there. 31 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.159 Clyde Edwards a Larry and I'm gonna be guilty of it. I'm gonna 32 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.680 throw his name out there soon. In that connection that bond, bad Moss, 33 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.840 Joe Burrow, T Higgins, and Jamar Chase as a trio have been 34 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.080 together longer than that LSU group that everyone talks about the bond, And so 35 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.800 I do think it's interesting when you watch Kay Adams right or any of these 36 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:59.960 interviews from Radio Row and T Higgins is talking about his future, Jamar Chay 37 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.039 is talking about his future, and Jamar's like, I don't even want to 38 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:08.879 go there yet, And I agree because I think there's a very real scenario 39 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:15.039 where either it's the last season that they're together in twenty twenty four, or 40 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.599 maybe they've played their last snap together. And Jamar I think already felt that 41 00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.120 and went through that with Tyler Tyler Boyd in just processing that mentally. Now, 42 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.159 who knows, maybe Tyler comes back, but I think mentally he's there, 43 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.840 and so with t he doesn't want to be there, and so I 44 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.360 just want to highlight that I think they are tight. It's not just the 45 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.240 bounty sponsorship that has brought them together. I think they are good friends. 46 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.120 And they keep saying that that's my wingman. Well, I wouldn't go that 47 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.840 far. That's the little tag slogan that they're asked to say for the sponsor. 48 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.680 But I do think they view it that way to a degree, like 49 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:54.680 that, they're boys and so that does matter. And hopefully they can play 50 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:59.800 together for quite some time. And that's kind of where I'm at. I 51 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.560 would like the Bengals to re sign Tea above all else I don't think it 52 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.759 will happen, but that's where I'm hopeful that it does. Yeah, the 53 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:13.759 ideal outcome remains. T Higgins Extension and Andre Parrada just did some great analysis 54 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:18.480 on Twitter breaking down how the cap percentages would compare to the Peyton Manning Reggie 55 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:25.199 Wayne Marvin Harrison trio in Indianapolis. Back in Peyton Manning, stay in Indy. 56 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.800 The other thing from Higgins that I thought was interesting is when they're talking 57 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.720 about the future, te Higgins said, it's not really the plan. It 58 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:35.720 sounds like option A is stay in Cincinnati. Option B is get paid a 59 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:40.279 boatload of money in free agency. Option A, of course, also involves 60 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:45.439 getting paid a boatload of money and staying in Cincinnati. Neither's a bad option 61 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:50.120 for t You understand why he would take either of those choices, but it 62 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:55.519 does sound like option A is staying in Cincinnati. Meanwhile, let's talk NFL 63 00:04:55.639 --> 00:05:00.839 honors. Six of nine major awards go to the AFC North, and you 64 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.000 know, every time something like this happens, I just sit here and think, 65 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.920 Man, the NFL should does fall over themselves to pile awards onto the 66 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:14.000 Browns, the Steelers, the Ravens when they do anything well. The Bengals 67 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.360 not so much. Although Joe Burrow did recently win Comeback Player of the Year, 68 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.279 Jamar Chase did recently win Offensive Rookie of the Year. For these other 69 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:23.240 awards, you have to go way back, and probably deservedly so. I'm 70 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.800 not saying there's anything crazy there, but there is an anti Bengals bias historically 71 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:32.759 from AP voters and Willie Anderson I think in his still languishing Hall of Fame 72 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.639 campaign it is a great example of that. It just shouldn't be this hard 73 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:42.279 to get the best right tackle of his generation into the Hall of Fame. 74 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.120 And there's another great group of guys joining Hall of Fame eligibility next year. 75 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.040 James, It's hard to say what's going to happen in the future. It 76 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:54.920 sounds like Willy Anderson was closer this year, and it's a really good Hall 77 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:59.120 of Fame class. But like I said, it just shouldn't be this hard. 78 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.800 This should have been done a long time ago. It should be a 79 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.120 no brainer. The fact that we're sitting here talking about a year after year 80 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:10.120 is starting to get it, not starting to get continues to be frustrated. 81 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:16.279 Yeah, I agree. And the crappy part about it is I wasn't super 82 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.560 confident. I know there was a lot of hope. I wasn't super confident 83 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:23.000 he was getting in this year. And it has nothing to do with him. 84 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:28.680 It's just the process and I think it will happen. But until it 85 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.639 does, I'm just kind of like, Okay, we'll see. It's almost 86 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.439 like, all right, I'm the anti Michael Scott. I'm not ready to 87 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:38.879 get hurt again, so I'm not I like, mentally, I'm over here 88 00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.160 because I can't control it. I'm not a voter or anything like that. 89 00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.839 And me tweeting about it. There's been plenty of Bengals fans, pundits people 90 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.639 that have tweeted about it, and that's great. I think the pub is 91 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:54.199 certainly necessary. And then you look at who got in, and I would 92 00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:58.120 disagree and with some of them, not that they shouldn't be in at some 93 00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:02.839 point, but I do think Will deserves credit for his tweets of being humble 94 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:10.759 and respecting the process. At the same time, I don't think it takes 95 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:15.279 an NFL Hall of Fame voter to look at it and say, well, 96 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.959 Willy Anders didn't get in, Antonio Gates didn't get in. And the longevity 97 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.839 of Antonio Gates, how long he played, he retired in twenty eighteen after 98 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:29.920 the twenty eighteen season. Billy Price and Antonio Gates played in the NFL at 99 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.920 the same time. To just put it in perspective that way, it's kind 100 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.959 of wild. So yeah, I was surprised, and not just by Willy 101 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.879 but by Antonio as well, just to show that it's not just this orange 102 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:45.879 and black colored glasses that I'm looking at. Hopefully Willy gets in next year, 103 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.600 though, and Antonio Gates is a clear easy like I don't know, 104 00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:56.000 I don't know. The Hall of Fame voters seem to always get something wrong 105 00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.800 or something's wrong this year. It's tough. Like I said, like, 106 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.519 it shouldn't have taken Patrick Willis this long to get it. It shouldn't have 107 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.759 taken some of these guys multiple years. Patrick Willis probably should have been the 108 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.160 first out Hall of Famer. There's a bunch of guys coming up that are 109 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.319 deserving of the Hall of Fame as well. And this is part of the 110 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.199 problem they have where they're only putting five guys in from the modern list every 111 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.519 year. Is there's just a lot of guys to get through, and I 112 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.319 think that is a challenge. But Willie Anderson will be going into his twelfth 113 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:31.840 year of Hall of Fame eligibility. I believe he's gone three years now in 114 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.480 a row as a finalist. Next year's probably going to be four years in 115 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.759 a row, I would imagine. Don't think that should change. And hopefully 116 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.600 it's just the slow steps of progress and working his way through the process and 117 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.639 we don't have to talk about this for too many more years because the guy's 118 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:54.679 deserving of the Hall of Fame honor. I don't know how much I want 119 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.480 to talk about the rest of the NFL honors. James Kevin Stefanski became these 120 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:03.480 thirteenth coach ever to be a multi time AP Coach of the Year winner, 121 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.120 and on a tiebreaker, so Lisa was close, I guess. But they 122 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:16.600 should really rename that award to coach whose team outperform media expectations the most. 123 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:22.000 Because Andy Reid's won it once, Kyle Shanahan's never won to Bill Belichick only 124 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:28.399 won it three times in his coaching career. The best coach just doesn't win 125 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.320 this award most years. It's the coach who xeeds expectations by the most. 126 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.919 Yeah, a lot of these awards are like that, and that's why you 127 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.679 better not do in your profession. Don't try to do it for the trophy 128 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.879 are the hardware, because if you're getting the hardware, it might not be 129 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.679 the best sign. Kevin Stevanski did a great job. I also think that 130 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:54.120 the voting he should have been second. Dimiko Rans would have been my vote. 131 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.320 I would have voted for Puka Nakua by the way, so it's not 132 00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.440 like I was just thinking all Houston. Puka should have gotten way more votes 133 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.639 for Offensive Rookie of the Year to me. Didn't. And you know there's 134 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.840 a couple other ones that there's debate about I'm not shocked about Miles Garrett. 135 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.600 I think that makes sense. You made a good point about Assistant Coach of 136 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.120 the Year though, Steve Spagnolo. Definitely, And we're recording this before Super 137 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.559 Bowl fifty eight. Yeah, he's bawling. How does he not get more 138 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.960 votes? Regular season voting is a problem. Coming up next, let's get 139 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:30.759 into a mock draft.

It's a relaxed 169 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:28.240 environment and they have every option available that you can imagine, from unique custom 170 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:33.159 designs, top rated permanent jewelry and lab grown diamond so it's not going to 171 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.000 kill your wallet. Which, let's be honest, we want to find the 172 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.240 right value. They're going to have that and the right quality at Schultz Jewelers. 173 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.279 Check them out at twenty two h two Dixie Highway and Fort Mitchell, 174 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:48.399 just five minutes from the bridge into Kentucky. Also make sure you check them 175 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.440 out at Schultzdiamonds dot com. The Bengals drive for perfection, shuld Jewelers does 176 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.559 too, because when it has to be perfect, it has to be shild 177 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:03.519 Strollers. Here we are James Mock Draft simulator, locked and loaded and let's 178 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.320 see what's on deck for the first round pick. Let's see where we can 179 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:13.279 make fun of this draft simulator. Marvin Harrison Junior going behind Elik Neighbors. 180 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.039 There's one right away. I'm not making fun of them for it wholesale. 181 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.440 The first first five picks quarterback, quarterback, receiver, receiver, receiver. 182 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.480 You could you could see that for sure. Cooper Dejohn at seven, though 183 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.399 I could not see. Hey, by the way, Brian, let's see 184 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:35.279 Brian Callahan if Jade Daniels is there at seven, seriously consider it. Don't 185 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.759 be all in on Will Levis. You must be out your mind anyways. 186 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.840 I agree Cooper Dejohn at seven, though that seems pretty wild to me. 187 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:50.120 Totally agree. The rest of these are. I know you continue to not 188 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.399 agree with bo Nicks zero chance. I don't think I do either. But 189 00:13:54.559 --> 00:14:00.559 we'll see JJ McCarthy there. Put JJ McCarthy there. Sure that'll be who 190 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.559 goes in the top seventeen that isn't projected to right now quarterback wise. So 191 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.919 Bengals on the clock here. And the situation, just for the people who 192 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:16.399 aren't watching and are just listening, is Joe alt Olufshanu to Lise Fuaga, 193 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.720 j C. Latham are the tackles that have been selected. There have been 194 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:24.840 a couple of cornerbacks selected as well. Yep, I'm still thinking transranisters on 195 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:30.519 Newton. Johnny Newton also goes one pick before our pick, a situation where, 196 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.159 by the way, you're one hundred percent thinking about trading up for Newton 197 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:39.159 in my opinion, if he gets anywhere close to your pick. And you 198 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.039 know, I'm probably considering this from twelve on if I'm the Bengals, maybe 199 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.279 even a little bit earlier, depending on the cost of those I'd be calling 200 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:52.200 each of those teams. So there are trade up possibilities. There's also trade 201 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.440 back possibilities. They're five teams interested in coming up here, but it's probably 202 00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:01.799 look at the players available before we talk about Yeah, Terry on Arnold available, 203 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:07.000 quin Jon Mitchell available. So two top corners. Brian Thomas Junior available, 204 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:11.480 Jackson Powers Johnson available, kool Aid McKinstry available, Amarus mims of available, 205 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.039 Troy Franklin. There are some options here. Byron Murphy, by the 206 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.440 way, who I do think, I think there's a real chance Byron Murphy's 207 00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:26.799 gone before pick eighteen. I know it's weird here, but I'll throw that 208 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:28.759 out there now and put that into the universe. I don't think it's just 209 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.360 jerse On Newton. I think there's a chance that Byron Murphy's gone as well. 210 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.440 It's also early in the process, and Byron Murphy's probably I think he's 211 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.279 expected to go test like an absolute freak. Yeah, the combine and then 212 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:43.919 you're gonna see, oh Man, Byron Murphy top fifteen. I think you're 213 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.440 gonna see a lot more of that after the combine if you tests the way 214 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.080 that I think he's expected to test, because then people will see it and 215 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.080 people will see the RAS score in the Nines. I think that's what's expected 216 00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.840 for him. Because as of now, I wouldn't trade up for Newton. 217 00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.159 I would just take Byron Murphy. If you're thinking the defensive tackle, I 218 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.759 mean, if he's just going to be there, I'm potentially potentially an option. 219 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:12.559 Tyler Geiton Senior Bowl tackle stand out. Also there, Troy Fatanu, 220 00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:17.919 a guy who a lot of people are projecting to kick inside in the NFL, 221 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.279 but also there if you wanted to go offensive line. Jordan Morgan from 222 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:26.399 Arizona another tackle if you're just interested in tackle. So a number of corners, 223 00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.279 a number of tackles. We took him Marius Men's last time he did 224 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:33.080 this exercise, I think he said Jackson Powers Johnson's name I did well. 225 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:41.039 Yep. The problem with this pick and doing mocked aff Monday in February is 226 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.720 we don't know what's going on with the Higgins. You don't know who they 227 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:48.559 signed him free agency, sure, and that's where it's always a little bit 228 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.679 more difficult. But man Terry on Arnold being there, I think he might 229 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:57.240 be the best corner in the class. There's some really good tape for Terry 230 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:02.159 on Arnold out there. I think that that would be tempting. We've talked 231 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:07.279 Quinon Mitchell, the corner from Toledo who Charles Burke's worked with at the Senior 232 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.000 Bowl. No, he would be very interesting as well. Didn't even mention 233 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.640 Layatu Latu, who has some injury concerns for sure. But if there's an 234 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:21.039 edge player in this draft that you were gonna pick, that guy is the 235 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:27.759 refined productive checks all the boxes except top top top end athleticism. Still a 236 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:32.400 good athlete, but not the freak athlete. But I think that would be 237 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:33.920 somebody you'd have to consider there as well. But this isn't one where there's 238 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:38.400 a clear that guy fell, let's pick him. This is one where you're 239 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:45.559 talking about Arnold, Latu, Mitchell, probably Brian Thomas. You're probably considering 240 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:51.359 JPJ, You're certainly considering Marius Men's and just going tackle. Maybe you're even 241 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:55.960 considering Troy Flanklin, Troy Franklin if you just like him better than Brian Thomas. 242 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.799 This is one where it's a very interesting set of players and where I'm 243 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.039 looking at this trade, I'm like, ah, yeah, trade back to 244 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.759 twenty two. I'm still going to get somebody I really like, and in 245 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.559 real life probably would consider that strongly. But what's your late Yeah, right 246 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:15.119 now, I would say either Terry On Arnold or Byron Murphy. Those would 247 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:19.000 be the two that they stick out to me the most. I think Murphy 248 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:25.480 clearly the bigger need. We don't know about a defensive tackle. It's kind 249 00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:30.240 of a cheat code right now in PFF mock simulator to your point, because 250 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.440 he's just there. He's ranked thirtieth, so he's going to be there in 251 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.039 a lot of mocks. But that's where I'm at. If he's there, 252 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.039 I don't think there's a standout offensive tackle right now, we could have taken 253 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.119 we could take a Marius Mims. Again, I go the other way this 254 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.119 week. I lean Murphy and Terry on Arnold would be a close second. 255 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.240 But if either one of those guys are there, I think that they would 256 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.559 be legit contenders for the eighteenth pick. And I think they're above just slightly 257 00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.039 above A quin Yant Mitchell, slightly above Jackson Powers Johnson, above A Brian 258 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.400 Thomas, above Franklin. So those are the two for me and Eileen Murphy 259 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.799 just based on need. I'm happy to pick Murphy here. You look at 260 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.759 the PFF profile here. If you're watching on YouTube, you can see it. 261 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.200 I'll just talk about some of these things for the people that are just 262 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:18.880 listening. The past rush win rate nineteen point six percent is insane for an 263 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:23.640 interior defensive lineman. That's like pretty close to t J. Watts win rate 264 00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:26.799 at the edge position last year. I think he was like a twenty three 265 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:32.880 percent past rush win rate guy last year. That's in the ninety ninth or 266 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:38.160 higher percentile. As you can see four prospects for defensive interior prospects, but 267 00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:42.119 still has a really high run stop win rate. A run stop rate as 268 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:47.839 well, nine and a half percent run stop rate probably like ninetieth percentile plus 269 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.599 judging where the dot is there, really good pass rush grading, really good 270 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:57.680 true pass set, pass rush productivity. Doesn't necessarily have like loads of sacks, 271 00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:02.000 right, he only has six sad charted by PFF in two thousand and 272 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:06.799 three. But you keep in mind that Texas is playing him in weird twenty 273 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:11.119 twenty three. You keep in mind that Texas is playing him in weird alignments. 274 00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:14.400 They're playing him in nose quite a bit. Just compare that to Newton 275 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.920 has a higher pass rush win rate, a higher run stop rate, higher 276 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.559 grating from PFF. Not that those are the be all, end all, 277 00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:26.039 but just something that's interesting. And let's just make it back to back interior 278 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:30.039 defensive lineman here in the draft. And part of it's for the sake of 279 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:32.720 doing something different. Maybe a Marius Men's would just be the pick here. 280 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:36.200 Maybe you just think Terry on Arnold is that much higher ranked of a prospect 281 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:40.200 based on your film evaluations. Maybe you want to take the risk on law 282 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:44.640 to and just get a high end edge player. But let's go Bira Murphy 283 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.279 will come back in just a minute and get to the second and third rounds 284 00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:53.559 to finish up this week's mock Draft Monday.

So Jake, for the first time since 319 00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:29.440 nineteen ninety four, the Bengals just took an interior defensive lineman in the first 320 00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.599 round. Since Dan Big Daddy Wilkinson, we're able to go against the grain 321 00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:40.119 with Byron Murphy and well Terry on Arnold went to the Rams right afterwards, 322 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:42.960 Latu went to the Steelers, so you got to deal with him. Jackson 323 00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:47.759 Powers, Johnson, Brian Thomas, Junior Quin, Jon Mitchell all off the 324 00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:49.880 board of Marius MEM's a few picks later, So all the guys that we 325 00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:55.079 were talking about go. Lad mcconki goes to the Ravens at thirty, Tyler 326 00:23:55.079 --> 00:24:00.519 Geiton off the board at thirty three, Troy Fatanu at thirty five, Donnie 327 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.640 Mitchell at thirty six, Darius Robinson at thirty nine. He's interesting. Keihan 328 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:08.480 Coleman off the board at forty, Chop Robinson at forty five, devontees Walker 329 00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:11.039 at forty six. Chris Jenkins by the way, so if you're thinking, 330 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:14.680 oh, maybe Jenkins will be there at forty nine, he goes off the 331 00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:18.000 board at forty seven. Christian Haynes, the interior Lemon from Connecticut that we've 332 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:25.480 talked about at forty eight. So a lot of guys that we've discussed at 333 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:27.440 some point on this pod off the board. One guy that is on the 334 00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:33.240 board that we talked about late last week, Patrick Paul still available, so 335 00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.920 that's someone that's near the top of the PFF board right now. And Kingsley. 336 00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:41.880 Sue Mattea, which was the guy Suma Matteia, which was one of 337 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.880 the guys I was going to go look for. And what's his name, 338 00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:52.079 Sua Matteia. You Pronouncetea. I don't know you pronounced the I. Is 339 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.039 the tip from Parker. Parker Blake, who was with us last week, 340 00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:02.039 pronounced all the vowels in Islander names. Yeah, yeah, it's Matia. 341 00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:08.160 Nope, Sue Matia, sum Sue Sue Mattea. Oh, I gotta get 342 00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:11.960 it down before they pick him. Forty ninth overall, all right, Kingsley 343 00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:17.720 Matea, Yeah, sue a Mateia. Yep. The crazy part is I 344 00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:21.599 have Yosi vash down in most of Cincinnati can't do it. So I'm gonna 345 00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:25.559 get Sue a Matea down by draft night. I got a lot of a 346 00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:32.200 lot of syllables, salables, salables. Uh played right tackle. If you're 347 00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:36.000 watching it on YouTube, you can see he played six hundred and eighty seven 348 00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:38.480 right tackle snaps in twenty twenty two, six hundred and forty four right left 349 00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:41.559 tackle snaps in twenty twenty three, so he's played both sides. He was 350 00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:49.519 a transfer, But the upside with Sue Matilla. Sue Matteia is very, 351 00:25:49.640 --> 00:25:56.440 very high, and we talked about last week one of the one of the 352 00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.039 Sewel relatives, so has that bloodline going as well? Patrick Paul, I 353 00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:07.039 think maybe is going to be the higher rated PFF prospect probably throughout the process, 354 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:10.720 might be seen as a higher floor player. But never played right tackle. 355 00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.799 And I'm ignoring pretty much every other position here because I think this is 356 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:18.279 the latest you can get a tackle, and I don't know that you will 357 00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:23.240 be able to get Sue Matilla here in real life. But Tavion Sanders also 358 00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:26.720 available. Some wide receivers that I think would be interesting, Tremaine Burton from 359 00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:33.480 Alabama, Ja lim Polk from Washington. I think j mcorsi is still available. 360 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:36.720 That's never going to happen. Yeah, never anyways, sorry, and 361 00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:40.440 Toandre Sweat continues to be available in the second round of these. So this 362 00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:42.559 is where if you're doing these and you're only doing the simulators, like I 363 00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:45.240 can get trevondreswent in the second round. Of course, I'm taking a tackle 364 00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:51.559 in the first round. Yeah, would how tempting would you be? And 365 00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:56.039 it depends on free agency just to keep Murphy and Sweat together. And just 366 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.960 like if this did play out and and it's Sue Matilla, Sue Matteia, 367 00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.559 right, Kingsley, It's Kingsley and Andre. No, you got it right 368 00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:11.119 the second time, nailed it. Yeah, So would you still go offensive 369 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:15.079 tackle? Let's let's say they signed Jermain Iluminis, which which way would you 370 00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.400 go? Here? I would still be very tempted by the upside with Sue 371 00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.400 Mattilla at the same time. I mean, we talked last week about how 372 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.759 much I left Sweat, but I would take the offensive tackle Sweat Murphy together. 373 00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.160 I'm drooling, but would be fun. Let's go, uh, Sue 374 00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:34.880 a Mattea. Yeah, gotta gotta say it with your chest, Sue a 375 00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:40.400 Mattea, just just because I think the fall off there. Just agree we'll 376 00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:42.759 just look at tackle and and maybe you can make an argument for Patrick Paul 377 00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:48.720 here. But like Dominic Pooney from Kansas, I don't think he's staying at 378 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:51.920 tackle in the NFL. We talked about him with Mike last week a little 379 00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:56.720 bit, and then there's huge gap. Christian Jones is probably the next guy 380 00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:02.319 and the serious and that he would not be picked in the second round, 381 00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:06.160 and chief among those is that he's like a twenty three year old. Oh 382 00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:08.640 I'm not saying picking that, but that's it's like the drop off and then 383 00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:11.400 you're talking about one guy. So no, let's go Sue Matteia and see 384 00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:15.640 what we have next. I think what we're hoping for next, just just 385 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.279 to look ahead a little bit here, as I like to do, is 386 00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:22.559 Roman. One of these receivers. Roman. See that's not who I'm targeting, 387 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.799 but I wouldn't be opposed, just not the guy I'm singling out. 388 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:33.279 Let's see who we got, all right, So Kingsley, we officially take 389 00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:36.839 Sue Mattea, All right, let's see what we're gonna do here at pick 390 00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:38.759 eighty. Xavier le Guette off the board, Jalen Polk off the board. 391 00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:44.440 Jatavian Sanders off the board, Patrick Paul, Ricky Pursaw. Look at that 392 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.519 run on receivers. Four receivers in a tight end in the next five pick, 393 00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.759 and this is I think somewhat realistic. There's gonna be crazy runs on 394 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.279 receiver in this draft. There is. It's it's funny. Everyone says how 395 00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.720 deep it is, and it is. But they're gonna go like, there's 396 00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.880 gonna be a lot of receivers taken, just like the tackles are going to 397 00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:06.839 go, no doubt, gonna go quick. And there isn't that depth of 398 00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:10.720 defensive tackle to wait super long either. They're gonna have to address one of 399 00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:15.799 the positions in free agency. Brandon Fisk. Branden Fisk goes sixty sixth overall, 400 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:18.640 IF's there at eighty, yeah, well, I mean, if he's 401 00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.160 there at eighty, I'd be in on it. I don't think you could 402 00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:22.960 take it much earlier than that. Roman Wilson off the board. Did the 403 00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:26.680 Jets come on? And JJ McCarthy off the board of the Broncos. That'd 404 00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:33.480 be crazy. And I gets picked Jarvis Bradley, one of Mike's favorite performers 405 00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.359 at the Senior Bowl. He's going to be flying up Mark mock drafts. 406 00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:38.160 That's the name of this noteworthy if you were listening last week. Bernardo Green 407 00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:42.960 another guy that's flying up right now on the post All Star Game process. 408 00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:48.400 And man Brandon Dorless one pick away from the Bengals pick in the third round, 409 00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:53.559 which Jalen McMillan too at Washington receiver. It's gone seems a little crazy. 410 00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:57.640 That's I don't know what I know. Yeah, I know about your 411 00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:03.200 guy. You're guy. It's a different set of guys, although that's one 412 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:06.799 of them. But Brandon Dorlis is a guy that I would consider the second 413 00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:11.960 round for the Bengals. So talking about rare defensive lineman or landing in this 414 00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:18.759 draft that that is very interesting. I'm in on Trey Benson at eighty, 415 00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:22.599 by the way, so I put him on as a potential option here. 416 00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:25.519 I'm not too familiar with the running back, said I want to go look 417 00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:29.480 at but he was familiar with your game. Oh you will be big dog. 418 00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.599 Benson is a problem I just go back to when Mike Renner told us 419 00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:36.599 that there's like three running backs in this class that he would have graded ahead 420 00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:40.240 of Chase Brown, and Trey Benson is one of them, I'm sure, 421 00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:42.880 but but running back really just went on the back burner after here. Yeah, 422 00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:47.799 I can't all on that, though. I think that there's a very 423 00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:52.160 real possibility to draft a running back starting probably at this pick. I'm just 424 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:56.720 saying I downloaded like eight games to watch last night, and it's Ricky Pierceoll, 425 00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:00.759 Brian Thomas, ad and I, Mitchell k Stover, and Jatavian Sanders. 426 00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:07.799 None of those are running backs. Fair fair anyway. Leonard Taylor, 427 00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:12.240 speaking of defensive interior in the third round, I think would be extremely interesting. 428 00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:15.680 But let's look at wide receiver, because that's what I want to look 429 00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:19.079 at right now. I don't know about you, Malachi Corley. I don't 430 00:31:19.079 --> 00:31:22.599 know that you'll get him in the third round, but certainly interesting. Jamari 431 00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:26.160 Thrash is actually the guy then I was very interested in seeing. Here. 432 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:32.519 Jon Baker the other one. I'm gonna buy you a Javon Baker jersey if 433 00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:36.039 he goes to someone that isn't like an AFC North team or the Chiefs. 434 00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:38.160 No, just get you one. I will be watching his career with great 435 00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.319 interest. Still need to find his tape. Don't don't have access to any 436 00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.200 of his tape yet. I've only been able to watch I went Marcus for 437 00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.160 seem me Jack Saint because of his name. That's a great name. Molie 438 00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.759 Washington is another guy that I think people will have to familiarize ourselves with, 439 00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:57.079 just from like crazy production profile had a crazy All Star game as well, 440 00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:02.599 but and a wide receiver that is very much not the Bengals type. No, 441 00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:07.880 you got to be at least my height five nine. The other name 442 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:12.440 here that I I that's not their threshold, just to be clear for everybody, 443 00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:15.559 Well, it is at least that it's higher than that, but it 444 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:20.319 is higher than that. Leuth McCaffrey. I don't think in the third round 445 00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:22.279 as a guy considering, but another wide receiver to mention that I think will 446 00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:28.119 be higher than he's currently situated in the similar fourth round. You know, 447 00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.880 if he's there and you need one, you know it could certainly be in 448 00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:34.720 the mix. Certainly like his pedigree, you take him thrash. I'm not 449 00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:37.240 going to say no to our receiver man, I would have taken three receivers. 450 00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:40.400 I like Jamari Thrash quite a bit. As you can see here on 451 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:44.200 PFF. It seems to be some drop rate issue, seems to be some 452 00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:47.839 contested catch issues or red shirt Junior had a great senior Bowl. I would 453 00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:51.720 just look at tight end as well. I don't know a lot about Thrash. 454 00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:54.680 I'm not gonna lie to you, not yet. Kate Kate sover Ben's 455 00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:58.720 not will be the tight ends here. Theo Johnson another one that stand out. 456 00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.000 I think all three of those guys and Jahem Bell could all be in 457 00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:06.920 this late third between the Bengals third and fourth round pick kind of range. 458 00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:10.119 Honestly, I think we should go with your guy, though not Jamary Thrash. 459 00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:14.000 Let's do it because we haven't picked him, right, we haven't picked 460 00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:19.319 Javon Baker, and I think, like you, a lot of people are 461 00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:22.319 viewing him, starting to see him. I'm seeing him mention more and more. 462 00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:24.319 There's a real chance he's not even available at pick eighty. I see 463 00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:28.559 people in the simulators getting him in round four and five. Yeah, no, 464 00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:31.440 that's not happening. I think eighty could be his floor. You know 465 00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:35.559 in that third range, the third round, day two is his floor. 466 00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:37.599 Maybe not eighty, but eighty for the Bengals. So let's take him. 467 00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:42.279 He's your guy, and you know me, I love wide receivers, Javon 468 00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:45.119 Baker. Let's roll with a baby, even though Trey Benson is in there. 469 00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:47.480 Trey Benson is in there for me, ladies and gentlemen. Absolute flir. 470 00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:51.480 When I was talking to Mike Renner about Baker last week, he told 471 00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:54.880 me second round is probably where the Bengals would need to pick Baker. And 472 00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:58.839 this is a guy that great change the direction ability. I think he's a 473 00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:01.359 good route runner in same ball scale's ability to play above the ram, plays 474 00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:06.160 bigger than his size just under six one. The only thing missing from his 475 00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:09.280 game is vertical speed acceleration. But then at the Senior Bowl he was the 476 00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:15.800 fastest wide receiver. I believe at the Senior Bowl fifth fastest player by GPS. 477 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:19.559 So if you can answer those speed questions and go run a nice forty, 478 00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:27.199 Javon Baker as a future two I guess across from Jamar Chace in that 479 00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:30.920 world where Tie Higgins is not a future Cincinnati Bengal long term would be my 480 00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:34.840 guy, and PFF is gonna kill this one. We're gonna get like a 481 00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:43.039 C minus for that pick, D minus D for the Baker pick. Man 482 00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:46.280 is in college? This is you in college, man, D minus. 483 00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:53.480 Wow. Never my life, never me, neither me neither Uh didn't love 484 00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:59.440 Anytia. Sue a Mateia got a B It's sue a Mateia. I'm getting 485 00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:04.159 it right by Murphy C plus on draft night, the Byron Murphy pick would 486 00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:09.400 be an A minus from PFF. Kingsley Sua Mattia will be probably another A 487 00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:13.719 minus and I think Baker at eighty would also be. I think this is 488 00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:16.559 actually an A So there you go. I would like it.
