| 0:00.0 | This is the CARM top 5, 1.0 mock draft targets, okay? |
| 0:06.6 | And ideally on some of this as you were underlining earlier, Hogue, I think the Bears would |
| 0:12.0 | love to trade back out of 25 if somebody would love to trade up. |
| 0:15.5 | But as a first round target, all right, here we go with my edge and my desire. And his name is T.J. Parker. Hogue, you underline him, but not as beautifully as I'm about to. This guy played in 39 games at Clemson. And by the way, he didn't miss a game in his final 39 games, which is a beautiful thing. I like durability. How many times did he have tackles for loss in those 39 games? 41 and a half. Wow. So we're talking about more than won a game, basically won a game, but that's outstanding. 32% of his tackles were for loss. This guy lives in the back through. You know what? He read that in the Beast for sure. I definitely did. But I've got notes from all over the place on him. |
| 1:10.7 | Let me tell you something else that he does. You know what I like about guy? You know what I like? I like good family backgrounds. His dad, army, 11 years. I like dudes that come from that. Military families. You, you probably woke up. You were making your bed when you were four years old. Brad Xanzana made his bed at any point in his life yet. |
| 1:13.5 | He moved around a ton as a kid, all right? |
| 1:10.8 | And then so when he, he's going to be moving to Chicago, |
| 1:17.8 | a colder climate. I went in, I actually did a deep dive on the weather. And he said, quote, |
| 1:22.7 | I like change. Cold weather doesn't bother me. That's my guy. T.J. Parker, come on down. You're my edge. |
| 1:29.5 | Chicago Bears. Pick 32. Ideally, we add a draft pick along with it. By the way, if it doesn't work |
| 1:34.9 | out and somehow some way, Emmanuel McNeil Warren falls to 25. No problem there. I like, |
| 1:42.7 | you underlined it yesterday. The peanut punch, that's a natural fit. How many force fumbles did he have in his career, Toledo? You don't know. He had three last year. Well, right. So he had nine total in his career. He's one of nine children. He's the oldest of the nine children. The mom was leaning on him to be a leader early in his career. I like guys like that. This guy's more of a quiet leader type, but that's fine. Nine times nine. Ed Rooney, I like you, nine. Now let's go over to your guy, R. Mason Thomas, who, by the way, I look at him. I'm more, because I've seen him mocked in the late 40s. |
| 2:19.4 | So I'm dreaming that either the bears are somehow, someway, moving up. |
| 2:23.9 | It doesn't, it doesn't line up perfectly. |
| 2:26.4 | But what I like about him, Hogue, and I think you said this too, the dudes that never quitter. |
| 2:32.9 | This guy is, the motor is high. I look for high motors. I like working with high motors. You never quit. You never quit. Stephen, like, motor is, it's almost, it's an unstoppable force. It puts him down to even say he's got a motor. I know that Dennis Allen, according to Gary Ross doesn't like bend the athletes. I don't really believe that, but this guy's a big time bender. He's explosive. I enjoy all that. And I think he's the only player in the history of Oklahoma to go to Oklahoma and actually graduate and get a degree from Oklahoma. Nobody gets a degree from Oklahoma. He actually went to class. I like that about him. Shots fired at Stacey Dales. Okay, there's two. I don't, I don't. Have you heard of a guy by the name of Keon Crawford who's making Carmack 1.0? Now, what do you like about him? Hogue? This is your segment, bro. Well, just listen. What would I like? That's right. What do you like? Motor. It's always revving. This is a, this is a, he's, he's, he's, he's, they compare him to a Rottweiler, to a bulldog, to somebody who's just going to eat your face up. That's my guy. mom, military, Crawford. Now, these guy could almost fall all the way. |
| 3:44.6 | You could. to somebody who's just going to eat your face up. That's my guy. Mom, military, Crawford. Now, |
| 3:42.9 | these guy could almost fall all the way. You could be getting him in the late stages here. |
| 3:48.7 | Some people have him as low as 90s, so maybe the bears can get a later value. But this is a huge |
| 3:53.8 | high character person quoted from one scout, always see him working. |
| 3:58.5 | Coaches say he does even more when people aren't watching. |
| 4:01.3 | What do you do when people aren't watching? |
