00:00Washington right now has twenty-nine and sixty-one.
00:04What do you think the chances are twenty-nine and sixty-one turns into four picks in the
00:10top 100?
00:11Something like that.
00:12I mean, you you could maneuver it that way for sure.
00:16You know, and and you know, it becomes a three-dimensional chess game of alright, who is the edge rusher
00:22and the running back combo?
00:24I mean, I think for me, this is how I will be viewing it that we could expect to get
00:27with those two pegs.
00:29But then if we break it down, right, we trade that two dollars for the eight quarters or
00:34you know, however you want to do that metaphor, or I guess four half dollars we could do in
00:39this case.
00:40Then what would, you know, what could we be expected to get?
00:43But I think that's what it's going to become.
00:45And of course, you lead the dance with the edge rusher there.
00:47And then for that second round pick, there will be a running back available there that
00:51is going to steal the job of Mr. Robinson or, you know, the committee that you guys
00:57had there last year at day one guy who can become the bell car right away.
01:00Wow.
01:01Who are some of those backs?
01:02You like?
01:03I know there's a bunch of them.
01:04I know you like the Iowa kid.
01:05Yeah.
01:06Well, I mean, honestly, for for Washington, I kind of really like the scenario of bringing
01:12Travion Henderson home, right?
01:14The five-star Ballyhoo kid from Virginia, he leaves at the five-star and then all of
01:19a sudden he's dominating for Ohio State as the true freshman, but he had some injuries.
01:23And then, of course, they bring in Judkins last year.
01:25But this skill set for Travion Henderson is very similar to Reggie Bush coming out
01:30of USC.
01:31I mean, it's, it's, it's the same sort of frame and it's the same, like shot out of
01:36a gun straight line thing, right?
01:38Like they're, they're both technically air back speed back, you know, in, you know, passing
01:44game plus in the passing game, whatnot.
01:46But neither of those guys danced a bunch.
01:48It was just, they had that NOS button, like Dominic Toretto from too fast, too furious.
01:53And now you're out of there.
01:54Travion Henderson also has a physical bent to his game.
01:57He loves scrapping.
01:58I did the pass, bro.
01:59He throws the body around Ohio State, did runs with the quarterback, did fake it one
02:03way.
02:04Then they would send a Howard around the other way, following Travion Henderson, who inevitably
02:09would knock the block off of an unsuspecting linebacker as, as the lead blocker.
02:13I think he would bring a lot and that would still, if you get Travion, that would still
02:17allow Robinson to have some sort of usage because the one thing I'll say for Travion,
02:22he probably should have another do with him just doing the meat and potatoes stuff.
02:26That's more to save him from himself because the game that he plays, you are always hurtling
02:31down the field at high speeds, getting into these big time collisions.
02:35That's where we saw the injuries that, you know, the second year and the third year Judkins
02:39comes in the fourth year took, took away some of that, the unnecessary damage that he was
02:44taking on some of those things.
02:46And he was healthy.
02:47Travion Henderson was all 16 games during their national title run.
