In the Lab, a Texans podcast that takes a different look at things. Drew Doherty and John Harris have their lab coats and goggles on and the Bunsen burners burning. Here's Drew.

Oh hey there, John, how you doing Drew?

It is good to see you, my friend. Great to be back in the lab. Is going to hit you right in.

The face today. What's going on between the eyes?

Not much. We're gonna do a few things today.

We're gonna do a mock draft simulator because things are a lot different now for the text week after free agency, so things have been jiggled. We're gonna talk a little bit before that about the mock draft roundup that just came out.

Oh yeah, but we got to start with sting.

And I know you and Mark have probably touched on this and probably I know you've touched on and talked a lot about the Sting thing. But I add a few things I just wanted to add. Okay, we saw last year he had seven interceptions in the regular season and postseason combined. The final four interceptions of those seven all came in the fourth quarter of wins. Every interception this season came in a Texans win, Houston went five to zero when Derek Stingley intercepted a pass. In his three years as a Texan, this team is eight and two in games in which Derek Stingley intercepts a pass. So good things happen. I mean, if you intercept a pass, there's a better chance you're gonna win a game. But it's been a great chance for the Texans to win a game when Derek Stingley intercepts a pass. And I gotta think it still goes back. I believe at its core, the Texans took Derek Stingley third overall despite him not playing as much as he could have or should have injury wise at LSU. I still think it all comes back to when scouts were allowed to attend practices at LSU in twenty nineteen, and they saw these future pro Football Hall of famers in Justin Jefferson, in Jamar Chase, in Joe Burrow going to work, and they saw this alien Derek Stingley junior, holding his own as a true freshman and doing a fantastic job. I still think, and it hasn't really been talked about at length in any press conference by anybody, but I gotta believe because I saw a tweet with some practice video from that year and Stingley just, you know, basically mirroring. I don't know if it was Chaser Jets, but I gotta believe over and over and over again those guys seeing it and just being like and then they're there to watch the older kids, not the freshman. But I gotta believe that just leaped out made a solid impression on everyone's brains who was at those practices or saw that practice footage and they said, look, this is a guy you need to invest in.

This is a guy to take.

And I bet you a lot of other teams would have gladly gone after Derek Stingley Jr.

Yeah, I don't think there's an any question. I think the ceiling, to me was higher for sting than it was for anybody else in that draft. And obviously we know that draft was staying in sauce.

And sauce Garter is awesome.

I also loved Trent McDuffie in that draft. That was a big fan of Hit, another awesome player. I mean the corners here are the corners that came out of that draft. Stingley, Sauce, Trent McDuffie, Tarik Woolen, even Zion McCollum, who has become a starter with Sam Houston State, even he was in that mix. I think it was a fourth round pick, but tremendous athlete. I heard John Middlecoff's friend of ours guy was a scout for the Eagles. He made a comment about and it made it sound so simple, and yeah, I think at hindsight. In hindsight it sounds so simple. At the time, probably not, but I always I didn't love Sauce because I felt like Sauce was so grabby and handsy and that was the only way he could cover people. Whereas when you watch Sting at his best, which is basically nineteen, he mirrored those guys without having to grab and clutch and hold. He could transition with them, and out of breaks, he didn't have to rely on, you know, stick them on his gloves to just.

Go grab every guy.

And a lot of college corners know what they can get away with and they get away with it. Sting felt like, nah, I'm gonna play basketball with this guy, and the upside of it was that much more. And so that's what Middelkoff was saying. Was that you bet on traits to go through the ceiling, and especially at pick number three, And I know in hindsight it looks like, well, yeah, you bet on Sting's traits if he.

Could be healthy, if he could be healthy, if he could be.

Healthy, and he was finally in the middle of twenty twenty three and beyond, he's been that guy. And the ceiling to me, was always higher for Sting because he was a guy that had those natural cover skills. He didn't have to go out there and make it up Mike Tyson fight, yeah, to cover somebody like I thought Sauce did. And so that's why I was always higher on Sting. But I think the injuries you know that happened here, I think that, you know, it even upset my confidence, like god, dang it, man, Like are we gonna see the real Sting at any point?

But I go back and I look, I look.

At my report on him, and I just think he's such an incredible you know, this was the last part of my report. The concerns are valid, the assets slash elite traits are too.

All that leaves to me in a quandary.

In the end, I trust what I saw is a true freshman, and I trust those elite traits as well, so he'll remain a top seven player in my opinion. He was number one going into the twenty twenty one season for me, number one player on my board.

It's remarkable.

And then he got hurt and I was like, I don't know that I can keep it number one, but to me, the skills if I rely on what I saw in twenty nineteen when he's covering guys like Jamar Chase in practice, and you saw those and you saw what he was doing as a true fresh And the funniest part about that juris in twenty nineteen, we were struggling covering people and I walked in here one day and I was just like, damn, Mark, I wish we could draft that kid from LSU.

And he goes Stingley and I said yeah, and he goes, well, what year is he? And I said he's a true freshman, and we just kind of yeah, I gotta wait for him. And then we're thinking we'll never get a chance to draft him.

That dude, it's the top five at a minimum, and we did, through our own screw ups, find a way to end up drafting him. But he's everything you want a corner and I'm so happy for him. I got a piece up at Houston Texas dot Com. People want to check that out, so I appreciate them getting that up there. So yeah, I'm just I'm very very pleased. Derek Stingley Junior is a Texan. Yep, very pleased.

Another long term or not long but another guy who's great locked up and you don't have to worry about him or any of the stuff that happens there.

That's right.

So with that in mind, and with a lot of the moves free agents, free agency wise in mind, trade wise in mind, Nick Cassario has been acting yet again.

The mock draft round up yesterday.

How did it change?

Change quite a bit?

So the first three we've done four now and the first three Tyler Booker, the offensive line of the guard from Alabama. He was the favorite in two and then he was tied to be the number one with the Texans in the third middle one, but he got a lot of votes siphoned off. That went to Josh Simmons, the left tackle who's he's got a knee injury, left tackle from Ohio State. He was mocked in eleven mock drafts out of fifty six. Now, not just every mock draft makes it into the mock draft round up. You kind of have to have sort of a reputation or a history of doing this, because everybody's got a I would if I did a mock draft right now, I probably wouldn't put it in, you know, like you do a mock draft, your mock draft gets in mine.

Not so much so.

Anyways, fifty six of the more notable ones from around the web compiled him. Simmons was on eleven, a mecha Buca, a wide receiver all from Ohio State. He was on eleven as well. And then you had Booker, you had Kevin Banks, the offensive tackle from Texas made it in.

And it really clumped up there.

It had gone, you know, like here's six doing this guy, seven or five choosing this guy, and then there were about nine with nine and one offs. There's only like two or three one offs now, I mean, it's it's really bunched up. Out of fifty six, you would have thought there'd be more one offs, but it's predominantly offense. I think fifty one of those fifty six mockers had the Texans choosing an offensive lineman or a receiver, and then it's predominantly offensive line men.

So interesting.

Josh Simmons is somebody you and I have talked about offline and I've I've texted, is it just the knee?

Is it? I mean?

And I don't want to make light of a knee injury, but he seems like he was one of the best tackles, if not the best tackle entering the season, and then he gets the bad Pateeller tendon injury. Yep, and you had you had some had some thoughts about that.

Yeah, I thought.

I remember seeing him in twenty three he transferred from San Diego State, and Ohio State had kind of reconstructed its line after CJ had gone, just because they had a lot of graduations and guys going to the NFL, so they had to reconstruct it in twenty twenty three, and I was watching Ohio State and my eyes kept going over there.

I'm like, that dude moves really well, Like who is this? And so went back and kind of saw his bio.

Like, oh, okay, transfer to House State, Okay, get that, And so I really had kind of noticed him about halfway through twenty twenty three, just kind of stumbling on watching Ohio State and I thought, man, Okay, this guy's pretty good, but nobody's mentioning anything about him. He's draft eligible, Like, why why aren't people not saying anything about him? I thought it was kind of odd. And then he decided to go back, and I think it was a good It was a good move for him to go back. And then he gets hurt in the organ game and was really having a good year. I mean, people were now finally kind of catching up, like, oh, hey, I told you about this guy from Ohio State, and I'm like, yeah, enough, tell me.

I know he's athletic, he moves well, he's very agile.

And me he's great, fe long, everything you really want to tackle.

This is Sean A. Seth.

On Sports Radio six'. Ten they had Mentioned todd McShay had some not so glowing things to say About, josh that there were some things that he needed to improve, upon especially in the maturity category and growing up a little. Bit i'm, like, yeah but you, know at the age of twenty, one who doesn't you?

Know we ALL i was an idiot UNTIL i was thirty. Eight we all. Are so the question becomes forty. One, yeah the.

Question becomes does that take away from his overall swarminess for, Us that's gonna end up being a. Question BUT i just know the player in a. Field it's a guy that if, healthy and that's going to be a big. Thing is he one hundred percent? Healthy apparently he's going to work out for HIS, prota AND i think that's going to be really important to see how he moves and how he's you, know kind of recovering from the. Injury but you, KNOW i find it ironic that the guy that ends up replacing him ends up replacing.

Him but then.

Happened at first it was left Guard Donovan jackson moved out to left.

Tackle that's a guy who's name but a lot of mock drafts as, well right in the first, round no, Less.

And AS i watched, Him i've seen him plenty at, guard BUT i watched him at tackle AND i, thought, dang he looks really good at.

Tackle and it's just so funny how it kind of you, know.

When you see a guy's, position or you see a guy play a spot for a long, time you, Think, okay that's the only thing you could. Do she got a forecast a little, bit but it was really he's a. GUARD i like him as a, guard but then you see him at, Tackling you're, LIKE i Like Donovan jackson at. Tackle SO i NOW i don't know if left, tackle but maybe right. TACKLE i don't. Know but the fact that you can play. Both HOUSTONIAN i love that went to piscol Bel. Air piscol in Bel, air SO.

I would love to have.

Him obviously protected C J stroud for a year BEFORE cj moved on to THE. Nfl SO i think there's a lot of really good stuff. There AND i think at that, POINT i know there's been a lot of. Panic It's march, whatever it's not even we're not even near the last few days Of. March we're not gonna. Panic we gotta give this team. Opportunities. Now a few years, ago when this team did not really have the confidence of the, fans, OKAY i could see the panic kind of setting.

In but this organization.

From Time nick stepped in with The miko, like they've done good, things they've done right, things they've done right by The, texans and so doing right by the, fans they'll get this thing.

Right it may not be all fixed in one.

Year but there are a lot of people that wanted that offensive line. Change they wanted. It you, know people gone they want to. Change, man it's definitely. Changed now it's. Different the demo's. Done now it's like building it back.

Up.

Now the windows have got to go in the right. Place the doors got to go on the right. Spot you got to get the right the right jar, wall you got to get the right paint. Molding all that it's now got to take place and be right for this organization to take another.

Step you're, right there's still. Time so with that in, mind let's do a mock draft. Simulate let's do.

It let's.

Go i've been waiting for, this, Man i've wait for. This for those of you who don't, Know i'm gonna screen share in just a. Moment but essentially there's this awesome there's many websites that do, this but we go with this One Pro Football. Network it's the mock draft simulator they. Have we'll do all seven, rounds trades get thrown at. You we could initiate, trades but we don't usually do the initiation of trades because a lot of times it doesn't really.

Work, out but we're gonna go through.

This So i've been. Drew i'll let you know as you're getting that set. Up i've been.

PRACTICING i do probably three or four a, night a COUPLE i.

Try i'm, like all, right.

That's all you do, Tonight come, on you gotta up.

Those the thing about it IS i do them to kind of get an idea Of LIKE i know that each different, website even mine football tak over dot.

Com go check it.

OUT i just put up scouting reports For Kevin banks trading On Henderson Tyler warren and, uh who's my other? One there's another ONE i have up. There SO i, have LIKE i just added like four of them in the last few.

Days so go check that.

Out but they're all gonna have the rankings, differently and that's kind of how they feed the log the. Algorithm so depending on what you you, know you're gonna see a lot of the same. Guys SO i try different, Scenarios well what IF i trade, This what IF i trade?

This IF i trade this? Guy what IF i do? This So i've tried all different kinds of things with BOTH pfn AND. PFF i WISH i had a mock draft.

Simulator BUT i know it's kind of tough to, do so, yeah that's something can work.

On But i'm. Pumped i'm.

Ready All, right it's time to. Go as you can, see we're going seven. Rounds we're doing fast.

Draft, yeah you do not want to mess a mess around with.

Slow clicking On. Houston we're entering the solo. Draft, okay so here we. Go we got a lot to work with. Too we had a lot of.

Picks we got to keep in mind people are just, listening so we'll help them.

Out we got four in the top ninety.

Five So Tampa bay's offering a, second a, third a second next.

Year, no, no we don't want. To we don't want to tell you When i'll take that.

Jet it's forty to a, second a third and a. Fourth no, Thanks, NO i don't like that from The. Patriots heat to do an.

Early second and a little early third and the sixth next.

Year we're gonna stick.

It we're gonna you know, What we're gonna stick at twenty five for. Now and look at the names that we've got on the board at this, point.

All, right at the tip top ranking, wise you Got Nicki, menware who is a safety you really really. Like you've texted me offline about. Him, yep you've said some good. Things he's one of the best safeties in the, draft maybe the best safety in the.

Draft in your, owes and you.

Could you could add to this right.

Here you could add strength to strength if you, want and be happy you Got Jihad campbell twenty second. Overall he's An alabama, linebacker looks like a, stud looks like a guy who could play for the next decade and play at a very very high. Level there's our Guy, Simmons There's abuka the wide, Receiver Luther, burden another wide. Receiver all the way down to number thirty. Three gray's able In North Dakota, state really really impressive offensive. Lineman right below, Him Kenneth. Grant, okay there's lots of options, Here, John, yep where do you?

Go, Okay i'm gonna rip through these really really, fast.

EMIR i would say no just because you brought in J Garner, johnson even THOUGH i Love amy, MORE i just don't think you do. It Jock, CAMPBELL i, love is kind of a three down linebacker that can rush on third, down play first and second down as a Stackbacker. Simmons we talked About. Abuka we've talked a lot ABOUT i Love. Abuka this is WHO i put in my mock. Draft mark thinks he did, it BUT i was going to pick a book. Anyways Luther, BURDEN i think is. Tremendous let's keep circle him for a. Second Tyler williams defensive. Line, now Between Tyler, Williams Walter, nolan And Kenneth, grant who's right there Beyond Greys, abel you've got three tremendous.

Options, yeah but you've really bolstered your.

Defensive, line AND i think you can get defensive line later in the. DRAFT i think defensive line number eight is way better than interier offensive line in a, break if that makes. Sense SO i think at this Point i've kind of got circled number thirty three On pffan's, board and That's Grey's. ABEL i Think zabel with the ability to play all three. Positions you get him here and you figure it out and you say maybe day, one look you're going to be our. Guard, okay you're gonna play, guard and that's what you're gonna. Do and then when it when there's, time we can cross train you at, center and then if we need you at, tackle maybe you want him at. Tackle he's a really good, athlete tremendous. Player held his own at The Senior bowl at guard after really not playing a whole lot of it At North Dakota, state held up against the best.

Competition you rare extensively about his His Senior bowl.

Exploits and his, heroic very very against the best in.

College and the thing about it is WITH fcs, GUYS i focused more on in The Senior bowl than really what's during this. Season LIKE i was Watching Charles grant From william And mary today actually AND i like. Him but you watch the players he's going against and you're, LIKE i don't. Know so you Watch graysabel Against colorado and you're, like, damn that's pretty.

Good then you watch with The Senior bowl where he's taking on the best of the.

Best this is WHERE i would Take Gray's, Abel, OKAY i think that would be the way to.

Go so you think he's a sure fire, starter comes on in AND i think so. FLOURISHES i think so because there's questions about well As simmons going to be? Healthy, yeah b do you want to have three? Tackles And, Simmons, Titus, Howard Blake fisher and make one of them push inside the. Guard so this does make. SENSE i think get a. Surefire that's. Right it's not the, sexiest but it makes you. Better that's fill with, it all. RIGHT i Think i'm cool with Grays abel as. Well all, Right so we're moving on to round. Two and as a, reminder you can click on my. Picks you got fifty, eight seventy, nine eighty, nine one six, six and then there's a big jump to two three six and two four. One So miami's offering, You, hey you want to move back forty, spots.

But you pick up a second next. YEAR i don't. Know that seems like a.

Lot, well let's look at what's on the board here for a, second.

And then, yeah move back fourteen to The bears and you give away a seventh next year and you get back a.

Third NOT i. DON'T i don't like. That but let's look at who's on the board before we make a.

Decision here you Have Walter, nolan who's thirty rank thirty, first pretty. Good and THEN i haven't talked with you much about the running, backs But Omarion hampton's there stud further down the, Line Quinn Shawn judkins is. There, Yeah Traveon, henderson who he's the one who has leaped out the most to me running back, wise just just stare at, you, know, Casually i'm a casual Watching i've texted you about.

Him, yeah like.

Wow But Walter nolan And omari And hampton there seem like really good value at fifty.

EIGHT i have given running back a lot of thought during his, thing and these three are are guys that pop up a. Lot Waryon. HAMPTON i my comp for him Is Joe mixon like? That and so WOULD i want Another Joe? Mixon, sure a Younger Joe mixon S, Yeah i'd be excited about. That Quinjawn judkins is kind of a kind of a mix Of Travion henderson And Marion. Hampton BUT i think the higher, upside to be honest with you and just kind of envisioning what this offense might. BE i Think Traveon henderson is one hell of a. Player he's a great pass. Protector and oh that was the other ONE i. Did Traveon. Henderson scott a reporter football takeover Dot. Com so if you don't check that out please. Do one of the THINGS i realized About Trevion henderson he was asked about a Particular it was asked about his screen touchdown Against, texas AND i thought it was really. Interesting he was about a ninety second discussion and he mentioned on the he had messed something up and then he.

Got kind of mad about.

It, yeah because there was something that went, on and then he, SAID i went over the, SIDELINE i collected, MYSELF i prayed on, IT i went back at a game and THEN i made this play AND i was, like faith is a, big big thing For Treyon, henderson which for some people, great not.

WHATEVER i just think he's very grounded in the way that he thinks about.

THINGS i just feel like this running back class is so good THAT i can maybe go beyond. That and this is where the double dip of offensive. LINEMEN i have to Consider Marcus sembo From. PURDUE i didn't love The Senior, bowl and really that's the guy THAT i would look. At the only other GUY i would look at here AND i think he's off the board Is Donovan.

Jackson but he's off the board at this.

Point so THEN i look at defensive Line Walter nolan at number fifty eight is a freaking.

Steal let's do. That, then let's do. IT i Think Walter nolan fifty eight is a. Steal there's some reason labels let's do. It, yeah he's he's a. Freakazoid he can disappear at. Times but gettinghim at fifty, EIGHT i think is a great. Pick SO i like That Waltern nolan. Pick all, right so we've gone beefy With zabel on THE o Line nolan on THE d. LINE i don't like this offer from The, cardinals so we're GONNA i, mean do you like?

It cardinals are offering one fifteen fifty and a. Third, NO i don't like. It all?

Right you said double Dip Emery jones offensive, TACKLE. Lsu that's that's your highest rated. Guy, wrong offensive. Lineman, Okay Alfred, collins defensive tackle From.

Texas, well we just.

Took Walter, nolan who's kind Of Alfred, collins very very, similar very similar skill.

Set Xavier, streppo wide receiver From. Miami i'm only saying no because who's. Next, okay who's next Is Jared wilson and From. Georgia he's a. Center, NOW i have seen a few different people THAT i really really respect over the last month or. Two say you can Get, Wilson ratledge or who's a third From.

Georgia the interior, Guy Dylan fairschild Or Dylan.

Fairchild you can plug them in and you will never have to worry for a. While you'll have starters there that, like that's that put, off like sirens and warning sick.

Ore, Well i'm Gonna i'm gonna throw one more siren at, You, okay and hopefully you respect the guy that you're doing this podcast. With ye because my name Is John. Harris, yeah you know For Plano Sylind, report For Houston Texans Football Takeover. Deck hopefully've done a lot of draft Football takeover Dot. Colm Jared wilson is the best center THAT i have studied in a long.

Time that's all you gotta. Say let's take. Him that's all you gotta.

SAY i love, Him, OKAY i love.

Him and there's been a lot Of georgia center's talked about the last few.

Years Ben georgia. Center Ben jones is really really Sure texans had never let him.

Leave Jared, wilson he, can he can, Play he will hold his own at center he will hold his own against zero.

Techniques you hold his own against against big.

Guys plays with a, big strong, base can move good in his own but good in power. GAME i Think Jared wilson is by far the best Center i've studied in a.

While all, right now we're back up at eighty. Nine, okay And Emery jones is still there at. Seventy but you were were not? Wild Jack beck besch bes excuse? Me nice Senior, bowl nice career AT.

Tcu.

Yep you Got Shamar, turner the defensive, Tackle Leithan.

Ransom. Yeah.

Uh and THEN i know there's a couple of tight ends that you've you've had your eye, on Namely Elijah royo From.

Miami but he's. Gone, yeah he's.

Gone And i'm not.

Surprised No Gunner helm From texas. Either but you do Have Terrence ferguson Of oregon.

Available. Yep what are you seeing? Here what are you? Thinking Jack?

Sawyer do you have?

EDGE i have my?

Eyes, well if you scroll down just a little, BIT i don't know that we can get in one sixty, six but if we wanted to go one more offensive Lineman Anthony Belton Fromanci STATE i think transitions into is gonna be a.

HAMMER i, MEAN i think he's gonna end up being a. Hammer but.

That's one GUY i would go with on the offensive. Line would think About Emy jones. TOO i think he's gonna move into. GUARD i like you like him better at. GUARD i think he can be very feisty at. GUARD i thought tackle maybe a little overwhelmed by the, speed but you do a really good job at l shops And Will Campbell Schamar turner is the guy to think. About But schamar's two hundred ninety pounds and we've got a lot of, light quick guys in the defensive line. Already Lathan ransom is teammate Of Jean Robinson High. School, uh they're At Tucson. ARIZONA i love him as a, player BUT i think he kind of have him At Chauncey Gardner johnson right. Now so to, me WHAT i don't know that you have Is Jack. BESH i Think Jack besh is.

The swarmiest of the.

SWARMING i think one of my, favorite my favorite moment in The Senior bowl was The ran toss crack And Jack besh was in The Nico collins alignment and that means you got the down block on a defensive, end And Jack besh HIT. R J oben From Notre dame and then stayed on the block to a point where Rj oben is basically like banging on the back of, him like get him off, me get him off.

Me besh can. Run he's gonna be in four or five.

Range kind of got some build up, speed great, hands, tough mentally.

Tough fortune lost his Brother.

Tiger besh in The tradgedy In New orleans this Past New Year's eve and Then Senior bowls basically dedicated to, him and he rose up and just was.

Incredible AND i think he had a great.

CAREER i think it was a freshman LSU i he dominated games at times At alabama game and twenty twenty, ONE i think it.

WAS i think he's twenty twenty. One he's.

Tremendous he was absolutely. TREMENDOUS i would Take Jack besh. HERE i think he would fit with what you have at your receiver. Room and, oh by the, way worst, Case Jack besh is a core fourth special teamer that you're getting at the bottom of the third.

Round all, right that's the. Pick now you gotta wait a little, bit one six, six.

But we put it on turbo, speed so we're we're, okay we'll get there soon, enough.

Exactly AND i LOVE i love That Nick cassario has maneuvered and added that extra pick in the top. NINETY i don't think you're gonna see The texans pick at twenty, five fifty, eight seventy, nine and eighty.

Nine, ULTIMATELY i THINK i think those are going to move around a.

LOT i could see all four of those being different spots in each each of those same, rounds but just different. Spots, Yes so here we are one six. Six Riley mills defensive tackle is the highest RAN. J.

J watt Poor MAN'S Jj. Watt you see, him you'll, Know.

Okay you also.

Have Elijah, Roberts Go PONIES smu proud Alum plass two, Thousand Simeon barrow Yep Rishard SMITH.

Smo, okay running right back. There you've highlighted it right, there.

But you Got Dylan.

Samson those are the. Two those are the two right, there.

Okay and if you look at what we've, done you can see on the left of the screen we went offensive, Line Gray's, abel we went defensive.

Line Walter.

Nolan we went offensive Line Jerry, wilson and we got a, Receiver Jack. BESH i feel like there is just another level of weapon that we we lack, offensively and the question, becomes we Want Breshard, smith who you actually could play in the slot if you. Needed, yeah before, tremendous tremendous, player but that explosive.

Speed.

Wow And Dylan sampson is more true running, back but the same, thing explosive, Abilities LIKE i Have Dylan sampson way higher than whatever this is at one sixty.

EIGHT i really Like Dylan. Sampson So i'm.

Gonna leave it up to you to pick one of those two BECAUSE i think those are the two. Best but before we do, that let's scroll. Down let's scroll down just to see who's at. One we see if there's anybody else that catches our.

Eye we've Taken Dylan sampson, before and you, KNOW.

I feel Like i'm stealing WHEN i do.

That, YEAH i don't think he's gonna be there at this.

Spot and that's one of the reasons WHY i don't take him a, lot BECAUSE i don't. Think NOW i THINK i Think burchard's will higher than the number they've given as.

Well But i'm, saying for the sake of, this let's just let's just do. IT i, MEAN Sec offensive player of The. Year you mentioned the. Explosiveness, yep you could just always add in competition in the running back.

Room Go Dylan.

SAMPSON i want to go With Dylan. Sampson no offense For Shard, smith but he understands playing in THE sec and doing that draft simulators just for, business Bro, Samson now you're waiting till the seventh. Round you got a couple of picks back. THERE i don't think those picks are going to be there When nick and The texans are. Picking but, yeah, uh that's what we'll, do just TO.

I, mean the thing about it is to consider they do have to you have to make a decent number of picks or have undrafted free agents because the, roster you, know they had twenty five free agents going, in they didn't bring them all.

Back so, yeah, Okay, now the names we've looked at before we Drafted Cody, simon the linebacker From Ohose state who was very productive on. Defense you also think would be a killer on special. Teams AND i like the name above him in the zer. Stackhouse, yep he's a. House more of a trash can full of rocks type Of, yeah you want to try and double. Dippancy we'll get those two right. There if you had to, choose you would go with i'mon.

First.

Right got to tell you the tight END i like in that group Is Thomas fedoni From.

NEBRASKA, ok but, No i'm fine with that you do need.

It i'll tell you. What go up to the offense and go to tight. ENDS i want to see who's there at tight, end because there's one tight end.

That i'm looking. FOR i think he's.

Gone and, Yeah Jackson hawes would be the tight end For Georgia.

Tech that like.

HIM i just like him as a y in line, blocker good soft, hands good, athlete Plate yale transwer To Georgia. Tech but he's just really a rock solid. BLOCKER i think that would be. Nice willie Lamp AND i know, it says guard. Center he's a five to, ten two hundred and seventy five pounds. CENTER i think you maybe you could take him and turn it into A Patrick ricard kind of, player use him at fullback in a. Sense Jamari, harris that, dude what was, that Say, Iowa, Yep, no that's the wrong.

Guy i'm thinking of the guy from Cal i'm thinking Of Marcus harris from all The. Harrises get.

Confused, YEAH i Think stackhouse is probably the way to go. Here bolster that he just gives us an athletic big up.

Front THAT i would like to. Add so let's do that and then we'll see what we got.

Left simon still Ver imon is still there It simon, Says Cody, simon special teams linebacker.

HELP i like. It there you.

Go, okay so The texans went for some help in the.

Trenches gray's, Able Walter nolan on the defensive, side who you called a, steal a freaking.

Steal Jared wilson probably gonna go a little.

Higher, YEAH i think offensive center From, Georgia Jack, besh Receiver Dylan samson definitely going.

Higher but you got him right.

Back and then another trash can full of rocks who's athletic And Cody simon there at the.

END i like, This Mark mark.

Draft, yeah we did. Well we didn't trade, once which is kind of.

Weird, yeah that won't Be Nick, casario BUT i feel like we we targeted a bunch of, needs but got best player available in a lot of those. Situations so good, Job, drew we did a good. Job we'd feel good about that draft On.

Sunday we will do one more of these before the actual thing goes down at, least and it's gonna be a lot of. Fun BUT i had fun doing. THIS i hope you had fun watching it you or listening to.
