Hello and welcome into a post-draft edition of the Bird Tuttle podcast, our second ever Bird Tuttle podcast, Mike Mulhern here with Barrett Brooks.

Don't get upset.

Dave Zangarer, Ruth and Frank, you're always going to get your eagle eye. We're just here to supplement, give you even more birds coverage. Barrett, how are you feeling today? I'm feeling pretty good. You know, I think the Eagles did pretty good in the draft, you know. I'm not as high as everybody else, but I am very, very confident that they can do something with this roster that they've accumulated, you know, in this draft.

So I'm good with it.

All right. Well, today we're going to do some player comps. Always a fun exercise. We went pie in the sky here with all these guys. You know, most of the time these guys aren't going to hit the level that we set for them. see one splash play and you think, oh my God, this guy can be, you know,

we're talking about who are Bernard later on being compared to maybe the greatest

defensive player of all time. we set for them. You see one splash play and you think, oh my God, this guy can be, you know,

we're talking about who are Bernard later on being compared to maybe the greatest defensive player of all time. So we're going to get crazy here. We're going to get crazy. We're taking the guardrails off, get nuts on these cops. So we'll have some fun with that. What do you think, Barry? I mean, let's make it happen, you know, because I mean, these are just projections. these guys haven't touched an NFL field yet in competition. You know what I'm saying? So the level they're going up, they haven't seen before. It's going to take a bit of adjusting for them to get at that level and understand the speed of the game. And that's the thing. They're just getting into many many camps right now, their rookie camp this is rookie camps i can remember when i

came with the rookie camp bro talking of my head spinning you get drafted you come down and all of a

sudden bam you know what's saying you're you're you're right there i look up from from sitting in

and trying to learn the offense you know trying to get all those plays in off they give us a playbook

about this thick is this before they had the i pass but it's about thick. And they tell you all these plays we're going to run today. And the next thing you know, my head is spin. I'm trying to think of it. I go outside. I get in the first huddle and I look across from me. Who do I see? Randall Cunningham, Ricky Waters, who's beside me? Guy McIntyre, Ryan McKinsey. Rodney McKinsey won the original hogs.

Guy McIntyre, Riley McKinsey.

Riley McKinsey won the original hogs.

Guy McIntyre was in, you know, in a Super Bowl.

He blocked for Joe Montana, Steve Young, and Ricky Waters won a Super Bowl like the previous

year.

So I'm like, come on, man.

The ultimate weapon is giving me to play, so they got a lot a lot of expectations on

them right now and uh this is where it all starts yeah so let's get down to it with some of these

comps uh we start with the eagles first round pick 20th overall out of USC the bolitnikoff award winner
