| 0:28.9 | on ESPN.com have all sorts of analysis up on every commander's pick also have a video up just |
| 0:35.1 | kind of wrapping up the draft and just a little bit you know 45, 45 seconds to a minute, whatever. So that's all up on ESPN.com. And for you, gold members, we'll be doing a private Zoom later in the week. Don't know what yet, what night. And there you go. And I'm not sure when the next podcast is out. If it's going to be either Monday or Tuesday, a little bit drained folks've been doing one every day for a while. |
| 0:56.5 | And so, you know, just we'll see what it is. |
| 1:00.1 | And I don't want to, if I don't have a lot to say, I don't feel like you need to have a lot to hear. |
| 1:00.6 | But I will have something. |
| 1:01.6 | If it's not Monday, it will be Tuesday, but you will know because it will be here. |
| 1:04.9 | Anyway, today I want to talk, just kind of wrapping up the draft and the value of the draft of what they picked. I think there's a lot of value there according to a lot of the board rankings for whatever that's worth. But a lot of times in the past, people might look at, oh, this guy was a reach because he was here and like Ben Sinit. Who else? Luke McCaffrey, some guys like that were there, okay, they were picked higher than what a lot of boards maybe had them ranked. Now, the only board that matters is what Washington had them. |
| 1:29.9 | That's all that matters. So if they had them higher, then you take them higher because maybe it's about fit or scheme or whatever it is. That's what you go on. I will say when Ben Sennett's case a couple years ago, I do know there are some people like they were, They were a little bit surprised by that pick just because they didn't feel like he fit what a Kingsbury offense would do. |
| 1:47.3 | Well, now they're not here anymore. I do know there are some people like they were, they were a bit surprised by that pick just because they didn't feel like he fit what a Kingsbury offense would do. |
| 1:47.3 | Well, now they're not here anymore. So let's see if it helps them. Bottom line, though, is, you know, there was some guys who were considered reachers. there was only one that would be in that category this time. |
| 1:57.2 | And I do have some information on the quarterback that pertains to that. |
| 2:01.7 | So he was the only one that really went higher. |
| 2:03.3 | But here's the, here's the value of the picks. And I want to go over there. I'm going to go over some of the picks and just you look at some of the choices that they made and maybe what else may have been available. Could they have found somebody over here or in another position, whatever? With six picks, it's hard to fill everything that everybody |
| 2:17.9 | wants. It's just impossible. So, and what they want or what they feel they need is going to be |
| 2:23.2 | different sometimes than what others say they need because they're also looking a year ahead. |
| 2:27.9 | But I want to get in the value picks. And I'm going to go by ESPN's rankings, not by, you know, |
| 2:32.5 | Kuiper or anybody else with us, but just we have the scout service. And just if you go to ESPN's rankings, not by, you know, Kuiper or anybody else with us, but just we have the scout |
