00:00 the- we live over here. Let's
00:19 go all right what's going on
00:21 everyone welcome in to. The
00:23 LNS media's draft central
00:25 coverage. Powered by price picks
00:27 the exclusive daily fantasy
00:28 news. And we're excited. And
00:32 you know why we're excited.
00:33 Because Drake may is a freaking
00:35 patriot baby they made it
00:36 happen. It made it work a stock
00:39 they picked. They wrote it out
00:41 it was. Gail Williams it was
00:44 Jaden Daniels it was Drake may.
00:46 And from what Elliott Wolfe
00:47 told us Taylor that was really
00:49 the plan all along they knew
00:51 that Jaden was going to
00:52 Washington. Weeks ago according
00:55 to Wolfe. They stuck they sat
00:57 they picked. And the person who
01:00 really we thought was a fit for
01:01 the Patriots all along going
01:03 back to like November. We sat
01:05 in those rooms and we talked
01:06 about it when the season was
01:07 dwindling away. We want Drake
01:09 may be here and that's what
01:10 happened so- as we get into it
01:13 we're gonna let you know let's
01:14 know what Drake made to say
01:15 we're gonna talk about that.
01:16 We're gonna quick recap day one
01:17 where the Patriots are at where
01:19 they go from here. But Taylor
01:20 first and foremost I know we
01:21 kind of did earlier draft
01:22 central. But your reaction to
01:25 Drake may. Being the next
01:27 quarterback in the wing of
01:28 Patriots what you got for us.
01:29 I'm fired up man I've been
01:31 saying like I warned you I was
01:33 like I'm gonna be very
01:34 unprofessional. Pagers actually
01:35 get Drake may just because I
01:37 thought he had the highest
01:38 ceiling of everybody who wasn't
01:39 Caleb Williams. And you know
01:41 bill Belichick actually had a
01:42 pretty succinct explanation of
01:44 you know. What Drake may brings
01:46 and what he still needs to work
01:47 on. And he said like he's got a
01:48 great. Like a ceiling and even
01:50 was- who's the first guy with
01:53 the hair. So bad ESPN draft
01:56 analyst. All of them now
01:58 Kieper yeah look hyper cheese I
01:59 was gonna say Merrill hot for
02:00 some reason yeah no piper. You
02:02 know he isn't really a fan of
02:03 me but even he was like yeah
02:04 he's got all the potential.
02:05 Really starts it like next year
02:07 three years four years got
02:08 crazy about it. But in all
02:10 seriousness you're hoping that.
02:12 Drake may is someone who you
02:13 can bring your coaching staff
02:14 and have them bring out all the
02:16 good things. Well kind of
02:17 weaning out all bad habits some
02:19 of the inconsistencies and all
02:20 those things. And that's why
02:22 you bring in Alex van Pelt you
02:23 know I've said it a couple
02:24 times to TC McCartney is an
02:26 unproven commodity at this
02:27 point. But Alex van Pelt said
02:28 even when he was in Cleveland
02:29 was hired to be the offensive
02:30 coordinator. Was the
02:31 quarterback's coach he still
02:33 said he planned on being
02:34 heavily involved in the
02:35 quarterback room. You have to
02:36 think that's going to be the
02:37 case like it was with Baker
02:38 Mayfield. As it's going to be
02:40 with Drake may. In the fact
02:42 that we know that like
02:43 everybody was on board where
02:45 only will said that he talked
02:46 to. You know and that could do
02:47 he talked. To Alex van Pelt he
02:49 talked to TC McCartney about.
02:51 What they thought of Drake and
02:52 where they thought they could
02:53 really bring the best out of
02:54 him and if they can you know
02:55 given the structure. To really
02:57 help and be the best he could
02:58 be. And they did and you saw
03:00 the room dude I've never seen
03:01 Matt gross I don't think I've
03:02 seen him smile ever. With
03:03 smiles yeah that was hilarious.
03:05 Open mouth smile it was crazy
03:07 so like you know that kind of
03:08 energy man coming off the
03:09 season they just came off of.
03:11 It's nice to see one you've
03:12 already heard like from players
03:13 that there's a different energy
03:14 in a different vibe. In the
03:16 room Drake may even said it
03:17 during his press conference that
03:18 you know it was pretty good.
03:20 You know he's a guy who's
03:21 already proven. He's a guy who's
03:22 already proven. Bob's news in
03:23 the facility. Complimented
03:24 Rod Mayo everybody loves Rod
03:25 Mayo players coach guy who's
03:26 already proven but- I mean it's
03:28 exciting this is what we wanted
03:29 now. You know we can look ahead
03:31 and it'll be a better picture of
03:32 what the outlook might be. Once
03:34 you actually get the receiver
03:35 get the tackle and all those
03:36 things and help support him.
03:38 But I mean this is the perfect
03:39 first step like what you got to
03:40 give this an A. A. plus like
03:42 this is one of the- few times
03:43 with Christian Gonzalez
03:44 obviously one of the few times
03:45 you look at a Patriots draft
03:46 pick and you're like L. yeah.
03:48 I mean it's a perfect first step
03:49 and then you get the tackle.
03:50 They nailed it. That's the
03:51 thing too it's like. They
03:52 didn't overthink it they didn't
03:53 do their trade backs their
03:54 typical Patriots you know trade
03:55 backs we've seen for years it
03:56 wasn't stressful it wasn't like
03:58 it was just. It was chalk it was
04:00 right and it happened and you
04:02 mentioned to like- you know
04:05 hey the the vibe the vibe in
04:07 this new era and- Rod Mayo and
04:09 everyone likes it and Drake
04:10 Mays excited like what. When we
04:12 were down in. In Gillette this
04:13 after this evening. We spoke to
04:15 Drake May- over video
04:17 conference and that dude is
04:18 just like. Genuine fired up
04:21 like. Southern drawl excited to
04:23 be a Patriot- and we actually
04:25 have the clip so if we can roll
04:27 you know Drake may talk about
04:28 being excited to be a picture
04:29 will play that and then we'll
04:30 we'll react to it. You want to
04:32 know best nights of my life and-
04:34 can't wait to. Get up there get
04:35 started and get to work-
04:37 watching your film and one of
04:38 the things that stood out was
04:39 your ability to attack the
04:40 entire field inside and outside
04:42 some curious. Since fourth and
04:43 seven with the game on the line
04:44 whether it's a concept or route
04:46 what would you say is your
04:47 bread and butter play you feel
04:48 really comfortable. Yeah- so I
04:51 think don't know from over the
04:52 cross the middle I think you
04:53 know I see well on big six five
04:54 do back there was a seam shot.
04:56 You know big dig- knowing
04:57 corner out for post. I'm
04:59 into cross mill the field- like
05:01 you know- to make a throw make
05:03 all the throws and I'm excited
05:05 to- if it's not there to go
05:06 make a play for myself so- I
05:08 guess the most looking forward
05:09 to it. And- open can expand
05:11 that game into the NFL. That
05:14 was awesome I had that question
05:16 queued up for like a week I was
05:18 ready. It's gonna say it's a
05:20 while that actually. For we had
05:24 another clip I it's fine but
05:26 about him being excited that was
05:27 still. The super excited
05:30 ecstatic Drake may you want and
05:32 I even think about to like. I
05:34 wrote about earlier for the
05:35 website where- it Alex van
05:38 Pelt's new offense I asked him
05:40 to like you know what do you
05:41 like about it and he- he just
05:43 has this like. Rick rambling on
05:46 like and he finally gets to the
05:48 end is just like I'm just super
05:49 excited for Pat's nation and he
05:50 looks at it every time I was
05:52 like this guy just wants to be
05:53 a patriot and- look. I tweeted
05:55 that you know he wants to be a
05:57 pager and a couple of people
05:58 like well he just wants the
05:59 money and he's just the number
06:00 three pick and it gets wherever
06:01 he is like I get that of course
06:02 the guy would be excited
06:03 wherever he goes. But there was
06:05 still. There was a genuineness
06:07 to him today so- it was awesome
06:10 I think it's- like you said.
06:12 It's an A plus for what they
06:14 had to do- you know what they
06:16 did today because. Again they
06:18 stuck they picked they made it
06:19 happen- and I think. There I
06:25 guess they're born for may
06:26 where Gerard Mayo said it that
06:28 he's not automatically starting
06:29 quarterback and Drake may
06:30 understands that he's on a
06:31 automatically certain
06:32 quarterback. They have to call
06:34 you percent in the room they
06:35 have Alex van Pelt ready we've
06:37 talked about it three or four
06:38 times here no Taylor we talk
06:39 about the footwork and that's
06:40 the kind of thing that he has
06:41 to. You know get himself set up
06:43 with but- if it's going to be a
06:45 place right it's going to be
06:46 Alex van Pelt his system the
06:48 footwork group and I keep on
06:49 the footwork groups of the
06:50 footwork guru but his system
06:52 relies so heavily on it. That
06:54 it's naturally gonna. You hope
06:57 come to him you know through
06:59 practice through learning the
07:00 system it's you know what.
07:02 One of the few coaches who can
07:04 actually fine tune that during
07:05 the season because most
07:06 often. They talk about scheme
07:08 we're talking about matchups
07:10 you go through all the drills
07:11 before practice and all those
07:12 things but everybody does that
07:14 there's not a whole lot of
07:15 others like a hitch here or no
07:16 you need to be you know your
07:18 puts here. That doesn't happen
07:19 very often because one there's
07:20 just so many other things going
07:21 on but also. A lot of times
07:23 offensive coordinators are
07:24 really trained in that area
07:25 even like some quarterbacks
07:27 coaches in the NFL level. Are
07:28 really super fine tune to the
07:30 footwork. And then you get a
07:31 guy where it's like no this is
07:33 a system that. You know his
07:34 mentor learned literally from
07:36 bill. I think the- G. right
07:38 comes this West Coast footwork
07:40 so. Literally I was talking
07:42 about it for weeks that if you
07:43 want Drake me to go somewhere
07:44 that book work is going to be
07:45 more disciplined. I was watching
07:47 you could be percent tape
07:48 actually. Last night just to
07:50 get an idea. And you can see
07:51 what you Kobe every time he
07:52 throws it's from that wide base
07:54 and it's consistent in. You
07:55 know even if Drake does want to
07:57 be a little more narrow kind of
07:58 like a Lamar Jackson where. It
08:00 will affect his accuracy but at
08:01 the end of the day you want
08:02 guys to do what they're most
08:03 comfortable with because if
08:04 it's wide and then he doesn't
08:05 feel right and then that throws
08:06 other stuff off. You're just
08:07 going to exacerbate problems.
08:08 But whatever it is. Van Pelt
08:10 is going to be like Hey if this
08:11 is. You know what you feel
08:13 comfortable with we're going to
08:14 do it as close to the way I
08:15 want it done but we're going to
08:16 make sure it's consistent RG
08:18 three said it that's the whole
08:19 thing that kind of threw him
08:20 off. And again this it's
08:22 exciting because I feel like
08:23 he's gone to a place. Even
08:24 though everyone makes the
08:25 Patriots out to be some kind of
08:26 black hole for a rookie
08:27 quarterback. Right got a lot of
08:29 pros surrounding him I think
08:30 they've got really good
08:31 leadership as well. And the
08:32 coaching staff. Again TC
08:34 McCartney we're not really sure
08:35 yet but- I really do think he's
08:36 got a good. Supporting cast
08:38 so in the meantime I have we
08:39 have on that queuing up some
08:41 some more footage from Drake
08:42 Mase press conference but
08:43 before we get to that and
08:44 before we. Before we dive into
08:46 you know what's next because we
08:47 still have day two and day
08:48 three of this thing. We're
08:49 going to get all of it brand
08:50 and I you trade. The cast around
08:53 him what they need to do pick
08:54 sixty eight moving forward. I
08:57 was curious if you and I again
08:58 I had to bounce from the first
09:00 draft central. But if you saw
09:02 the report that. The Patriots
09:04 called the Chargers. On
09:06 Justin Herbert's availability
09:07 you see this. No I didn't. So
09:10 this is. Yeah Adam Schefter
09:12 this came from ESPN Adam
09:14 Schefter said that the Patriots
09:15 and I believe the Vikings were.
09:19 Among teams who called the
09:21 Chargers. This past week. On
09:24 the availability of quarterback
09:25 Justin Herbert now they were
09:27 shut down immediately and that
09:29 yeah and they were told that
09:30 he's not for sale but- I guess
09:33 now that I see it and you don't
09:34 know what's your reaction to
09:36 hearing something like that.
09:37 That's wild but I mean Justin
09:39 Herbert is a better player. I
09:41 love great day but when you
09:42 talk about we keep comparing
09:44 him to like Josh Allen and-
09:45 Justin Herbert but there's
09:46 always a caveat of like yeah
09:47 but he's like a tier lower.
09:49 Where Herbert in Allen like
09:51 Drake is a freak but those
09:52 dudes are aliens like they're
09:54 not of this world where I like
09:56 their arm strength is like.
09:58 Here you don't see that kind of
10:00 thing Herbert especially with
10:02 his mechanics in the way he is
10:03 in the pocket I'm studying him
10:05 last year. And I'm like it's
10:06 crazy how many times he made up
10:07 for his lack of protection
10:08 what he's getting the ball out.
10:10 Split second before guys are
10:12 going to hit it so like I mean
10:14 it's I don't think it's any kind
10:15 of slight against Drake may
10:16 Drake may is not even close to
10:18 being a Justin Herbert or Josh
10:19 Allen right now. He's got the
10:21 talent to be kind of in that.
10:23 Caliber a player where he's
10:24 just so dangerous and someone
10:26 where he's playing at the top
10:27 of this game. There's not a
10:28 whole lot you can do to stop it
10:29 but I mean that's fascinating.
10:31 Yeah I don't even know what
10:32 you'd even have to give up to
10:33 get Justin Herbert. That sounds
10:34 like multiple first round picks
10:36 so I don't know. I wonder if it
10:38 was like I wonder if it's like
10:40 hey what's what's Jim Harbaugh's
10:42 affinity for JJ McCarthy. Is it
10:43 real. Can we trade you three.
10:45 Yeah we take Herbert off your
10:47 hands type thing. But again
10:48 it's it's it's due diligence
10:51 that you have to do as a front
10:52 office. You know seeing with a
10:53 new regime come into L.A. with
10:56 with Ortiz and with Jim Harbaugh
10:58 obviously. But you know the
11:00 other the other way I look at
11:01 it and I'm sure that there's
11:02 people out there that are like
11:04 oh well they say they were
11:06 gung ho on Drake May but then
11:07 they called about Justin
11:08 Herbert like how is that
11:09 possible. It's like both of
11:11 those things can be true at
11:12 once. You can have conviction
11:14 all the way. Drake May he's
11:16 number three. He's our guy. We
11:18 love him. That's what we're
11:19 going to do and still make a
11:21 call to L.A. and be like hey
11:22 what would it take for Justin
11:24 Herbert. Like that's just doing
11:25 due diligence. That has nothing
11:26 to do with Drake May. That
11:27 doesn't mean you don't love
11:28 Drake May. There's this there's
11:30 this attitude where well if you
11:32 like the guy just take him and
11:33 I and I get that in some
11:35 instances like instead of
11:36 trying to get funky and if they
11:37 were to trade back and trade
11:38 forward and you know we did all
11:39 those situations last week but
11:41 thank God it's over. I know
11:44 God we have our guy. We have
11:45 Drake May. But yeah kind of
11:48 kind of fascinating that they
11:49 ended up making that call.
11:50 Also the fact they wouldn't
11:51 entertain trades for Herbert
11:53 tells you he's literally an
11:55 invaluable player even in a Jim
11:57 Harbaugh offense where you know
11:59 they're going to run the hell
12:00 out of the ball. And they're
12:01 still like yeah no we're not
12:02 even talking about Justin
12:03 Herbert. So yeah no it makes
12:05 perfect sense because Drake May
12:06 still is a gamble. All these
12:07 guys Caleb Williams is a
12:08 gamble. Jaden Daniels is a
12:09 gamble. You don't know what
12:10 they're going to be in the
12:11 pros. You know Justin Herbert's
12:12 one of the best quarterbacks in
12:13 the NFL and an all pro caliber
12:15 player. So yes it's yeah. Yeah
12:17 it's that's it's a fascinating
12:19 storyline but I would just
12:20 leave it at that. It's
12:21 interesting but it doesn't say
12:23 anything against Drake. So we
12:25 talk about the footwork. We
12:26 talk about the West Coast
12:27 offense West Coast adjacent
12:28 offense I guess that Alex
12:30 Van Pelt's going to run here.
12:31 I asked Drake May about this
12:32 earlier his thoughts on playing
12:34 in the system and meeting Alex
12:36 Van Pelt. So let's cue that up
12:37 where we can. Please. Alex Van
12:39 Pelt. Did you get to meet him
12:41 when you were up here. And
12:43 what do you know about the
12:44 offense and what are you
12:45 looking forward to running.
12:46 Yeah. Oh yeah. I'm a coach and
12:48 I met first time in the former
12:50 interview the combine. He was
12:52 asking questions and then went
12:53 up there for a 30 visit and
12:54 went through some of the film
12:55 outside zone scheme and like to
12:57 throw it around. He was showing
12:58 some clips and plaques stuff
12:59 with Rogers back in the day in
13:00 Green Bay. So I'm looking
13:01 forward to being in that
13:02 offense. I know they had a lot
13:04 of success in the past and just
13:05 look forward to kind of find my
13:07 way to best contribute to the
13:09 to the past past nation. Aaron
13:13 Rogers. He just loves it. He
13:16 just loves being a patriot. And
13:18 the best thing about that Van
13:19 Pelt offense like we always
13:20 talk about when you think of
13:22 West Coast most people think
13:23 of like slants and underneath
13:24 stuff where it's like you know
13:25 the past the extension of the
13:26 run. But the way Alex Van Pelt
13:28 does it a lot of it is that
13:30 hard play action. They're
13:32 trying to go vertical like
13:33 there. I think they were up
13:35 three top five last season in
13:37 downfield. Those are deep
13:38 passes. A lot of that had to do
13:39 with Joe Flacco. But that's
13:40 Drake Mays. That's a strength
13:42 of his game. He's not really
13:43 great in that underneath part
13:44 of the field and that's where
13:45 he really needs to get better.
13:46 But if you're going like run in
13:48 the run games going and you can
13:49 use that hard play action and
13:51 take the top off defenses when
13:52 they're vulnerable he's going
13:54 to eat like that's the kind of
13:55 situation you want to be
13:56 putting him in. So it's really
13:58 exciting because once that like
14:00 you know once the more routine
14:01 stuff does become routine then
14:03 it's like oh this is a guy who
14:05 can dice us up on a down to
14:07 down basis. And if we decide we
14:09 want to get aggressive or we're
14:11 sleeping out there he's going
14:13 to exploit us downfield. Like
14:14 when I asked him what would
14:16 your play be if you could just
14:17 know what the game winner
14:18 whatever he's like I want to
14:20 throw over the middle which you
14:21 love to hear because not a lot
14:22 of quarterbacks do that shows
14:23 the anticipation ability to
14:25 read the defense. It's also
14:26 like yeah but I'll hit the
14:27 corner to like I'll throw
14:28 outside and it's just I keep
14:30 saying it's exciting I feel
14:31 like I'm a broken record but
14:32 like this is what we wanted
14:33 this whole time and just the
14:35 talent in that offense and
14:36 knowing that van Pelt is going
14:37 to put him in positions to use
14:39 his arm and use his deep
14:41 accuracy is it's going to be
14:42 fun to watch. I'm excited. So
14:44 what are the downsides then.
14:46 Let's be negative for a second
14:48 and you know obviously it's it's
14:50 no fun and we're excited and
14:51 I'm excited and there are
14:52 negatives and I ultimately
14:53 think that this is going to be
14:54 the right pick but how does
14:56 this go wrong in your opinion
14:57 like what what what has to go
14:59 wrong in order for Drake
15:00 Bennett will be a bust here.
15:02 I mean he doesn't get the
15:03 coaching he needs and if
15:05 anything like his bad habits
15:07 get exacerbated where it's
15:08 like the over aggressiveness
15:09 never gets reeled in and he
15:11 just actually becomes Josh
15:13 Allen where he's making
15:14 boneheaded decisions on a
15:15 consistent. That's the evil
15:17 Josh. Yeah. We're having
15:19 even if it's not even if it
15:20 is kind of like Allen where it
15:22 happens so much that it does
15:23 put your team in a hole because
15:24 Josh Allen's great. We've also
15:25 seen plenty of times where he's
15:27 lost his team the game because
15:29 of his poor decision making.
15:30 So it's that it's if his
15:32 accuracy never really gets good
15:33 enough to where like he's not
15:35 sailing passes because you
15:37 know it's one thing to miss
15:38 high on like a corner route
15:40 where it's not even no one has
15:41 a chance at it but there's also
15:42 times like the South Carolina
15:44 or the NC State game where he
15:46 threw a crossing route that was
15:47 high and behind the receiver
15:49 tried to get it bounced off his
15:50 hands. I think it was Tess Walker
15:52 somebody and then he got picked
15:53 off where like when you're
15:54 thrown over the middle that
15:55 inaccuracy is a lot more
15:57 dangerous or even when he's
15:58 throwing a lot of them out routes
16:01 the short out routes he tends to
16:02 throw in the dirt but then when
16:04 you get more to like the deep
16:05 out routes a lot of the time
16:07 he'll leave the ball inside and
16:09 when you do that you can start
16:11 against Clemson where the guy
16:12 was able to punch the ball out
16:14 but smarter corners they can
16:15 jump that and pick it off
16:17 because you're supposed to be
16:18 throwing those routes to the
16:19 sideline so the only receiver
16:20 can get it instead he's giving
16:22 defensive backs an opportunity
16:23 to make plays so really if
16:25 you're talking worst case
16:26 scenario his accuracy doesn't
16:27 improve at least on a
16:28 consistent basis or he has
16:29 plenty of splash plays like
16:31 that's the thing Drake may for
16:32 him to be a bad player I really
16:35 think the system and the
16:37 coaching would have to almost be
16:38 working against him and
16:39 completely not supporting him
16:41 because he is so talented you
16:42 saw a confident that they have
16:44 that here I am I am they have
16:46 professionally I mean it sounds
16:48 I feel like as a fan it sounds
16:50 like something you kind of just
16:53 say which we have NFL receivers
16:54 but no like Hunter Henry and
16:56 Kendrick Bourne and even KJ
16:57 Osborne have proven that they
16:59 are solid players at the very
17:00 least like Hunter Henry's great
17:02 red zone guy great security
17:04 like really good especially for
17:05 young quarterback goes over the
17:06 middle Kendrick Bourne might not
17:08 be as explosive but he's savvy
17:10 like we know Kendrick Bourne
17:11 knows how to get open he's also
17:12 got a great catch radius and
17:14 assuming he has some of that
17:15 explosiveness still he's good
17:17 after the catch we don't even
17:18 talk about pop Douglas think
17:20 about it his best receiver in
17:21 college was Josh Downs and when
17:23 we did this whole process last
17:24 year talk about receivers it was
17:26 a flowers as first round a
17:27 flowers Josh Downs is a Tuesday
17:29 flowers and then DeMario
17:31 Douglas is day three's a
17:32 flowers right DeMario showed
17:33 plenty of times last year he can
17:35 get open downfield he can
17:36 separate guys just this was not
17:38 a downfield passing game last
17:39 season there were so many
17:41 opportunities that weren't
17:42 taking advantage of so I know
17:44 we're supposed to be talking
17:45 about the bad but it's all good
17:46 I mean I do think they have a
17:48 very excited shows that getting
17:49 that also will be the thing that
17:51 puts them over the top and
17:52 that's what I think this
17:53 receiving like Brandon I you
17:55 Kendrick Bourne and DeMario
17:56 Douglas yeah that's a damn good
17:58 offense and then if you get
17:59 Hunter Henry Austin Hooper's
18:01 fine he's solid but then you get
18:03 maybe like an explosive tight
18:04 end as well you've already got
18:06 remandre who I think is still an
18:07 extension candidate Antonio
18:09 Gibson is explosive and a good
18:11 receiver who can also
18:12 contribute downfield maybe you
18:13 get another running back who's
18:14 explosive as well like you get
18:16 three young guys who can also
18:17 kind of mix in and be some
18:19 explosive presence I think
18:20 they're probably gonna double
18:21 take a receiver this is an
18:23 offense that looks a lot
18:24 different and I think the
18:25 offensive line as long as to
18:26 so core for can do on the left
18:28 side when you did on the right I
18:29 think he's solid like Donovan
18:31 Smith healthy she's going to the
18:32 Super Bowl Donovan Smith right
18:34 you can get away with like solid
18:36 tackle play and we've already
18:38 seen the Drake making
18:39 compensate for bad protection
18:40 now at the same time he's young
18:42 and you want him to get enough
18:44 structure where he's not
18:45 constantly thinking like the
18:46 left side of my line is going to
18:47 collapse but I think chooks is
18:49 one of the better like mid tier
18:51 offensive tackles when it comes
18:53 to pass protection he just isn't
18:54 very well rounded because he's
18:55 not a great run blocker but I
18:56 mean a left tackle there's worse
18:58 things so I still think and I
19:00 know you would agree that left
19:02 tackle has to improve like a
19:04 core of four is a fine stop gap
19:06 that's not what you want to do
19:08 moving forward however we look at
19:10 the chat right now Brandon I you
19:12 can was mentioned you just
19:14 mentioned Brandon I you're wrong
19:16 49ers drafted Ricky Pearsall so
19:20 we just did Drake may for 20
19:22 minutes but we're going to shift
19:23 our focus we're done with Drake
19:24 may we're talking about what's
19:26 next before we get to it a
19:28 reminder CLNS Media's draft
19:30 central is powered by prize
19:31 picks the exclusive daily
19:33 fantasy partner of the CLNS Media
19:35 network make sure you go
19:36 download the app today you can
19:38 use code CLNS 50 for a first
19:40 deposit match up to $100 again
19:42 that not CLNS 50 just code CLNS
19:45 I'm sorry I'm already back in
19:46 the groove here but CLNS on the
19:49 prize picks app for a first
19:51 deposit match up to $100 on
19:53 prize picks so shifting focus
19:56 now Taylor there is a lot to get
20:01 to day two day three because
20:03 they hit it it's good solid pick
20:06 whatever like we get all that
20:08 Elliot Wolf said they still have
20:10 to support Drake may any way
20:11 they can Sherrod Mayo alluded to
20:13 the fact that they still have
20:14 holds on this team they have
20:16 picked 34 coming up and as I
20:18 just briefly I just dropped my
20:20 mic as I just briefly mentioned
20:22 night it happens as I just
20:25 briefly mentioned the 49ers just
20:27 drafted Florida wide receiver
20:29 Ricky Pearsall with pick number
20:30 31 so there's been rumors that
20:33 Debo Samuel and Brandon Iuker on
20:34 the trade block the Patriots
20:36 into wide receiver if you're the
20:39 Patriots what's next here what
20:42 should they do with 34 do they
20:43 dangle 34 for Brandon Iuker they
20:45 stick and pick a wide receiver
20:46 because a D Mitchell's on the
20:47 board lad McConkey's on the
20:48 board Keon Coleman's on the
20:49 board do they shift the focus to
20:51 tackle as they wait with wide
20:52 receiver after reports that cage
20:54 I Osborne has had a good has had
20:57 a good camp so far like where do
20:59 you see this team going what's
21:00 your opinion what do they do
21:01 because we before we came on air
21:03 I'm kind of ranting here but
21:04 before we came on air we said
21:07 they can do a ton here like
21:08 there's a lot of different
21:09 options here and even though
21:10 they have just 34 and 68
21:12 tomorrow or today if this is
21:14 when you're watching this what's
21:15 the plan what should they do in
21:17 Taylor Kyle's opinion so I think
21:19 the top priority should be
21:20 trying to get Brandon Iuker and
21:21 even right before actually
21:22 let's go with the Ricky Pearsall
21:24 right before the Ricky Pearsall
21:25 pick I think was confirmed he
21:27 mentioned that the commanders of
21:29 the Patriots he specifically
21:30 named them could try to package
21:32 their second round picks with
21:33 Patriots have the second second
21:35 round pick after the bills now
21:37 the bills now how the first one
21:38 but they can package that and
21:40 maybe like a late round pick or
21:42 two for Brandon IU which I think
21:44 like if you can do that hell yes
21:46 because I don't think any of the
21:47 receivers that are left in this
21:49 receiver class period are ever
21:51 going to touch Brandon I like a
21:53 D Mitchell has the talent but he
21:56 fell out of the first round I
21:57 think that says a lot about what
21:58 teams think about him one even
22:00 if it's not you know a character
22:02 thing or an effort thing or
22:03 whatever it's the consistency
22:05 where it's like why wasn't he
22:06 more productive in college with
22:08 all this talent like yeah there
22:10 was a lot of talent around him
22:11 but also it still doesn't make
22:13 sense like you're talking after
22:14 the catch like consistency it
22:15 just wasn't there and Brandon I
22:17 you we already know is a top 10
22:19 honestly if you look at the
22:20 numbers like a top five receiver
22:22 earlier we said that uh earlier I
22:23 said that he was better than AJ
22:24 Brown and then I kind of back
22:26 tracks I was mostly joking and
22:27 said that they're just different
22:28 I actually looked at the numbers
22:30 he was better statistically than
22:31 AJ Brown which you know I'm a
22:33 film guy so I don't like to just
22:34 go by numbers I think that's
22:35 silly but I do think that you
22:37 could just say yeah they're
22:38 different flavors but they're
22:39 both dominant wide receivers in
22:41 their own different ways so I do
22:43 think that I should be the
22:45 priority that said that's because
22:47 like so look at I'll look at the
22:48 receivers that are left Ladd
22:49 McConkie before we get to that
22:51 before we get to them it's
22:52 Brandon I you and I just the
22:54 only reason I want to I want to
22:55 get in here because I've been on
22:57 team I you for this team for a
22:59 long time I think it makes I
23:01 don't want to say it makes too
23:02 much sense but it kind of does
23:03 like there's this recipe and I
23:06 kind of sound like a broken
23:07 record when I do this but
23:08 there's this recipe for young
23:10 talent young talented
23:11 quarterbacks where whether
23:13 they're a rookie or a second
23:15 year you go and bring in that
23:17 veteran pass catcher who can be
23:18 that blanket that security binky
23:21 whatever you want to call it and
23:23 help you get through the you
23:25 know the rookies ups and downs
23:26 and the fact that you know you
23:27 might struggle and there's just
23:28 this guy that you can go throw
23:30 it to like you look at freaking
23:31 Josh Allen with Stefan Diggs now
23:33 it's going to be CJ Stroud with
23:34 Stefan Diggs they did it with AJ
23:36 Brown in Philly they did it with
23:39 to a tiger by Lowa in Miami with
23:41 Tyreek Hill like it's just and
23:44 they have all this money to
23:45 spend and not all this money to
23:47 spend because you know there's
23:48 the back and forth on do they
23:49 spend the money whatever and they
23:50 they got to that threshold they
23:51 got they you know they cut that
23:53 cap space that they had in half
23:54 but they still have plenty of it
23:56 they can go get Brandon Iuk he's
23:58 a guy who can come in here and
24:00 help rejuvenate this team and
24:02 Taylor I'm going to steal
24:03 something you told me just
24:04 before we came on here Drake
24:05 made the most talented
24:06 quarterback Brandon you Iuk has
24:08 played with in the NFL he was
24:09 there with Jimmy G he was there
24:11 with Brock Purdy he put up yeah
24:14 he put up 1400 yards with Brock
24:16 Purdy last year imagine what he
24:17 can do with Drake May when he
24:18 hits a ceiling like come on it's
24:20 it's too obvious they need that
24:22 guy they need the guy on the
24:23 outside you asked the three by
24:24 one question or you asked the
24:26 question to LA Wolf and then he
24:27 mentioned the three by one stuff
24:28 with an exercise who can split
24:29 out wide and just beat guys one
24:31 on one that's Brandon Iuk and
24:34 when I say it's that simple it's
24:36 that simple of an idea it's not
24:38 going to be that easy for them
24:39 to go get him so I'm not going
24:40 to sit here and say that they're
24:41 stupid for not getting him if
24:43 it doesn't happen because I
24:44 believe they're going to try Tom
24:45 Caron reported that there's a
24:46 framework set up for an Iuk
24:47 trade you just mentioned Ian
24:49 Rappaport mentioned that you
24:50 know that those are two teams
24:51 that could go try and get Iuk
24:52 so I believe they're going to
24:54 try and if they swing and miss
24:56 we'll see what happens but it
24:58 would really really really help
25:00 this team Drake May the idea
25:02 around the wide receiver room
25:05 and just that offense that
25:06 Alex Ampel is going to want to
25:07 run in general if they can get
25:08 Brandon Iuk here. Yeah and one
25:11 thing that's interesting about
25:12 the commanders and the Patriots
25:13 specifically in this race right
25:16 now you guys connections with
25:17 somebody on both teams he
25:19 passes from Jaden Daniels in
25:20 college now this is a lesser
25:22 version of Jaden Daniels but I
25:23 think Justina Anderson said that
25:24 they're live right now together
25:26 Jaden Daniels and Brandon Iuk
25:28 are on live together so yeah
25:31 that's a that's not a great
25:32 sign but also Kendrick Bourne and
25:34 Brandon Iuk are friends and
25:35 Kendrick Bourne has been
25:36 campaigning for Brandon Iuk to
25:37 come to the Patriots now the
25:40 Patriots have the second pick in
25:41 the second round higher capital
25:43 but at the same time the
25:44 commanders are only two picks
25:45 away right and with Brandon Iuk
25:47 and John Lynch I think he's
25:48 going to want to help especially
25:50 if it's that close I know
25:52 Patriots just straight up out
25:54 bid the commanders I think that
25:56 John Lynch is going to be like
25:57 hey where would you is there
25:59 somewhere you really want to go
26:00 because a lot of the time you
26:01 know these teams tried
26:02 especially for veteran players
26:04 who've done a lot for the team
26:05 they try to give them some
26:07 saying where they end up going
26:08 so honestly unless it becomes a
26:11 real bidding war I don't really
26:12 know how great the Patriots
26:15 chances are if you know I really
26:17 just want to just reunite with
26:18 Jaden Daniels so it may not even
26:20 be in the Patriots hands but you
26:22 know I was saying like you
26:23 talked about the X receiver
26:24 question looking at the
26:25 receivers available and why I
26:27 think you know I'll talk about
26:28 the tackles in a second I do
26:30 think that's an area of concern
26:31 but looking at the receivers
26:33 left Vlad McConkie really good
26:34 player we talked about it he's
26:35 not an ex AD Mitchell is an ex
26:38 but on this rebuilding team
26:39 where you're trying to
26:40 establish a culture do you want
26:41 to take a chance on a guy who
26:43 might not be consistent may not
26:44 have the work ethic that you're
26:45 looking for and maybe you have
26:47 to kind of supercharge him some
26:48 of that comes down to coaching
26:49 but do you want to take that on
26:51 who knows Keon Coleman I don't
26:53 think he's really a prototypical
26:54 ex I think he's a ball winner I
26:56 think he's way better people
26:57 give him credit for sure the
26:58 chat's gonna love and I brought
26:59 him up but I still he's not a
27:02 by any stretch of the
27:03 imagination and I also frankly
27:05 would rather trade back if he
27:06 was somebody that wanted to
27:07 target then Roman Wilson not an
27:09 ex I don't think he's a good fit
27:10 on this team Troy Franklin is
27:12 someone they did have for a 30
27:13 visit someone who has
27:14 experience at X but also has
27:16 that same type on Thornton just
27:17 gives me Taekwon vibes I just
27:19 got chills thinking about Troy
27:20 Frank he's a better route runner
27:21 I think he's got more weight
27:22 when he's better after the
27:23 catch but he is undersized he's
27:24 got small hands like it's the
27:26 things about type one that scare
27:28 you and then Malachi Corley who
27:29 obviously is not an ex either
27:31 those are the guys that are
27:32 probably going to get taken
27:33 tomorrow now I love Javon Baker
27:35 so that's my third round guy
27:36 where I think he's super
27:37 talented and can be an ex
27:39 although he's just got those
27:40 inconsistencies he's got to work
27:41 out so I you is the best receiver
27:44 that you're probably going to
27:45 get early like relative to the
27:46 early round two guys now if you
27:49 do trade for IU and you miss out
27:51 on the tackles that are
27:52 available and the top tackles
27:53 left are Patrick Paul who
27:55 thought he was going to go on
27:56 the first round and might be
27:57 somebody who starts within his
27:59 first season Kingsley so much I
28:01 EO who I've been saying I hope
28:03 that to the Patriots end up
28:04 getting where in that sense I
28:05 think it's kind of a win-win to
28:06 be honest because you get
28:08 Brandon I you can you get your
28:10 bonafide alpha receiver that
28:12 makes your whole offense look
28:13 completely different or you can
28:15 get Patrick Paul or Kingsley so
28:16 much IE who are very good
28:18 tackles like guys who have very
28:20 high upsides and could be
28:22 potential pro bowlers if you can
28:24 maximize their talent which you
28:25 hope happens with Scott Peters
28:26 because he learned from Bill
28:28 Callahan one of the best
28:29 offensive coaches offensive line
28:30 coaches in NFL history so those
28:33 options really aren't bad
28:34 especially if maybe you can get
28:36 a trade back get some more picks
28:37 and then get them but then
28:39 Brandon Coleman who is a bigger
28:41 guy I think he could still play
28:42 left tackle but and then Roger
28:44 Rosengarten who's undersized
28:46 probably can't really play his
28:47 first season unless it's more of
28:48 a swing tackle role I think he's
28:50 got a high upside as well as a
28:52 left tackle and can also play
28:53 either side of the line he
28:54 played right tackle but it was
28:55 for Michael Pennix Jr. who's a
28:57 lefty so he was a blindside
28:59 protector and I think he can do
29:00 both so if you don't get those
29:03 guys though then things get a
29:05 little bit more complicated
29:06 because then you're banking on
29:08 either Kieran and Maggie out of
29:09 Yale who's got a super high
29:11 ceiling super talented but he
29:13 came from Yale and there's going
29:15 to be some development that
29:16 needs to happen similar to
29:17 Kingsley where you might need to
29:19 let him take a redshirt season
29:21 which you could argue like I
29:22 think Kingsley has a higher
29:24 ceiling also he's a captain
29:25 which I really love in those
29:26 bloodlines like I'm sorry that's
29:28 very he's got a family of freak
29:31 athletes so they're kind of in a
29:33 similar boat and then after him
29:35 who's the other one I literally
29:36 tweeted about it it's Kingsley
29:38 and then it is Blake Fisher who
29:41 I think really is more of a
29:42 tackle so if you do get IU which
29:45 I'm all for your offensive
29:47 tackle options honestly aren't
29:49 fantastic now obviously all
29:51 these are developmental guys so
29:52 if they do like here in a mega
29:53 G that's awesome I don't think
29:54 they've shown any interest in
29:55 him though I don't think they
29:56 had a visit or combine or that I
29:58 can recall I don't think any
29:59 meeting was reported so that's
30:01 my one concern is maybe if you
30:03 love Javon Foster if you love
30:05 Travis Glover and think they
30:06 have legitimate starting
30:07 potential which I think they
30:08 need to prove I think they're
30:09 talented but you know there's
30:11 also some issues where like
30:12 Foster's footwork isn't super
30:14 quick and the same with Java
30:15 yeah I would sorry so wait the
30:18 same with Glover where you know
30:20 he really is more patient and
30:21 wins with his length and
30:22 compensates for his lack of
30:24 foot speed but I really do think
30:27 if it's not IU I think it has to
30:28 be a tackle even if you want to
30:30 trade back and get some more
30:32 picks and then get your tackle I
30:34 feel like a non-branded IU that's
30:36 your best case scenarios you get
30:38 more picks you get your tackle
30:39 and then you get your bond in
30:40 the third or you know another
30:42 receiver in the second if you
30:43 you know you can finagle actually
30:44 that wouldn't make sense but no
30:47 I'm kind of with you I think
30:49 that you know the order of
30:51 preference if you will would be
30:52 IU a trade back and then the
30:56 tackle because look the tackles
30:59 kind of went towards the end
31:00 there you talk about Guyton and
31:01 going and they're still I mean
31:02 you Kingsley and Patrick Paul
31:04 are sort of that next level 34
31:07 at least for Paul feels like a
31:09 reach Kingsley makes a little
31:11 bit more sense and maybe not a
31:12 reach for Patrick Paul he was
31:14 going in if he's getting first
31:15 round buzz yeah I guess you I
31:18 think it was like the value of
31:19 the process if you like them
31:21 grab them stick my left tackle
31:23 and that's your guy for the next
31:24 you know have to see what the
31:25 beast has a mess I'll check
31:27 yeah I'll see what that is but
31:29 so I still think it's I you can
31:31 again you talk about 80 Mitchell
31:33 Vlad McConkey McConkey is not
31:35 really that X he's a he can do
31:37 it all but he's not necessarily
31:39 an X and then 80 Mitchell like I
31:41 like he's a bit of fan of him I'm
31:43 surprised frankly that he didn't
31:45 go tonight but when you look at
31:48 it and you you weigh your
31:49 options of trying to get IU can
31:52 you again you level out like we
31:53 just did you go get IU or you
31:56 just sit and take 80 Mitchell it
31:58 kind of feels like such a step
31:59 down it's like well we should
32:00 just trade back Elliot Wolf
32:01 mentioned they want more capital
32:04 and I just feel like that that
32:05 would be I guess be a move that
32:07 would make more sense for for the
32:08 holes they want to fill because
32:09 again you can trade back you can
32:10 still get a solid tackle you get
32:12 more picks and like Bill
32:15 Belichick picks are like every
32:18 team but you know everyone got so
32:19 mad when it was Bill around here
32:21 Pixar Pixar currency Pixar King
32:24 and Wolf wants more they want to
32:25 make more you know make more
32:27 selections so ultimately we'll
32:29 see where it goes what's on a
32:30 very I just think they are in a
32:33 very good spot because like the
32:34 receivers that are available
32:36 don't really fit unless you do
32:38 want to bank on 80 Mitchell or
32:40 you really like Keon Coleman
32:41 none of those guys in the second
32:43 round are really what you need
32:44 and then the tackles it's like
32:45 you trade back if the tackles are
32:47 gone you know then you can keep
32:48 getting more picks maybe get a
32:49 good value for a Brandon Coleman
32:51 or Roger Rosengarten Kingsley if
32:52 he slips like I think you can
32:54 really just kind of let the
32:55 board come to you which is a
32:56 great place to be after you just
32:57 got your quarterback like you're
32:58 kind of in the driver's seat
32:59 right so here's a look at what we
33:01 have going forward you talk about
33:02 the position there and the talk
33:03 about you know be in the driver's
33:05 seat would have you tomorrow
33:06 starting at 7 p.m. is the second
33:08 round we have picked 34 the
33:10 second pick of the second round
33:12 then obviously pick 68 also comes
33:14 tomorrow and then on day three
33:16 they have 103 137 180 193 and 231
33:22 so what's that seven picks left
33:25 to tomorrow and we go from here
33:28 but like you said Taylor they
33:29 aren't a good spot especially with
33:31 Drake make they're in a good spot
33:32 they have their signal caller they
33:34 have feelers out for Brandon Iuk
33:37 there's talent on the board and
33:40 they can move up they can move
33:41 back they can use that 68 they can
33:44 move it back they can move for
33:45 like there are options there are
33:46 players and they're in these good
33:48 spots to fill out set holes so
33:52 before we get going Taylor I don't
33:55 have one off the top of mind but
33:57 I'm curious what's your bold
33:59 prediction for tomorrow in rounds
34:00 two and three for the Patriots
34:03 bold prediction and I took I
34:06 completely gave you that on the
34:07 spot so I'm sorry you know sure I
34:11 think I have to be the bold
34:13 prediction because again like I'm
34:14 looking at the board for receivers
34:16 and I'm like I'm honestly not that
34:17 wow like this is a deep receiver
34:19 class but it's not deep at X like
34:22 well that's not fair I think it is
34:24 in on day three but those are all
34:26 developmental guys where there's no
34:27 guarantee that they're going to live
34:28 up to their potential and then
34:30 offensive tackle again like I feel
34:32 if you trade back and those guys
34:33 are gone and you're kind of in a
34:35 weird spot and I feel like you kind
34:38 of if it's not I you guys think you
34:40 kind of have to get one of those
34:41 guys after like a small trade back
34:42 like maybe just a couple spots but
34:45 yeah I you cast to be the bold
34:46 prediction I think that's where's
34:48 mine they trade for San Francisco
34:51 49ers wide receiver Devo Samuel
34:54 Samuel that is pretty bold I hope
34:57 they don't know one it's going to be
34:58 one of the two I think who ends up
35:00 getting traded and I love the mobile
35:02 one he's not an axe he's not a guy
35:03 who wins one on one and also the
35:05 injuries like I I don't know why I'm
35:07 not saying I'm not gonna say I don't
35:08 know why a team would trade for Devo
35:10 that'd be silly he's also like a
35:11 captain like he's clearly not a
35:13 player but for a team that's
35:15 probably not going to compete for at
35:16 least like two three years I am still
35:19 young if you pay him that'll make
35:21 him happy you'll be like yeah I'll
35:22 be part of a rebuild for paying me
35:23 thirty two million dollars a year
35:25 like hell yeah I'm on board um
35:27 especially with Jacoby where one
35:29 thing I would be worried about is
35:30 with Drake early on like missing him
35:32 a lot when he's wide open like I can
35:34 see that being frustrating for a guy
35:36 who's you know your alpha but your
35:38 Kobe Drake may does have that
35:40 concern he's good like he'll he'll
35:42 hit an open receiver you're a ton I
35:44 was looking at that Cleveland tape
35:45 there were a ton of high quality
35:47 throws when he was with the Browns
35:50 and in Alex van Pelt's offense so
35:51 yeah I hope Sunday though I really
35:54 it's Brandon I you pray on it sleep on
35:57 it let's go to bed let's figure this
35:59 thing out let's reset let's
36:00 rejuvenate and get ready for Patriots
