00:00I'm looking at like pick 44 now not that I look at like all the picks but pick 44 is something that
00:07I've kind of focused on and I wanted to run by you miss you mentioned Carson Schlesinger from UCLA
00:16is that a guy that you are considering at 44 the linebacker? Yeah I would consider him at 44. Okay
00:22we're still kind of waiting uh we got the full slate of tests from him today did you have what
00:27he what he ran and all that stuff like that you said uh yes let me pull that back up for you hold
00:32on one second I believe he had a 39 and a half inch vertical at the combine so the explosiveness
00:38is there with that uh you know the the thing that he he had 80 excuse me 80 18 quarterback pressures
00:46on 62 pads did you find that like I I said this guy has got the ability not only to cover
00:53but also the ability to be like a blitzer guy yeah I thought some of his downhill work was some of
00:56the most uh exciting part of his tape yeah like his ability to absolutely the blitzing but his
01:02instincts like his ability to diagnose and then fill the gap and and absolutely be explosive at
01:08the attack point to stop the run game like he definitely can cover but I thought he was really
01:13good going downhill so his numbers he jumped 10-7 on the broad yeah 6-9 on the three cone which I
01:18think it's the same time that Fred Warner had coming out sure and then 4-1 on the 20 yard
01:23shot yeah 4-1 that's an outstanding time and here's a team that's looking for linebackers
01:27and I you know what I would absolutely consider him there at 44 and you said he is the second
01:34best linebacker on your board right yeah he's right he's behind Jihad Campbell as the number
01:38two linebacker I mean he's a first team all-american and the thing is as we mentioned
01:42he's really only got one year of starting across his four years at UCLA but I think he's a guy that
01:49he's got some traits that really look like he could be an elite talent to the position I agree
01:54with so I think he's gonna end up going higher than maybe some thought initially because it's
01:58a thinner linebacker group and I think it for if you want him you probably do have to give it 44
02:02yep I agree with you
