| 0:00.0 | All right, so we're less than three weeks away from the NFL draft coming up in Pittsburgh. |
| 0:03.7 | It starts on April 23rd. |
| 0:05.8 | So every day between now and then, you're going to have rumors and people weighing in on what they think the commanders will do with the number seven overall pick. |
| 0:15.3 | Coming up right now, we have some audio of Dan Orlovsky from ESPN weighing in on what he thinks the commander should do with |
| 0:21.7 | pick number seven in the upcoming 26 NFL draft. So when you look at the number seven pick |
| 0:28.3 | because you mentioned the draft, do you feel that there's going to be somebody there at number |
| 0:31.4 | seven that is that defense. Of course, I don't put you on a spy here, but I have to ask because |
| 0:35.6 | it sounds as if maybe you're seeing them maybe maybe go that route. |
| 0:38.8 | Yeah, I think the whole NFC East is really interesting draft wise. |
| 0:42.4 | But I think it's interesting because I can sit here and owe you like, yeah, if there's a player that a Caleb Downs or a Sunny Stiles falls, both Ohio State guys, you sit there and say and say you just it makes a lot of sense |
| 0:56.6 | to have a piece like that I'll go to Durante a huge part of Minnesota's defensive |
| 1:02.1 | success is having a safety and I'll put up a Harrison Smith type of safety that was |
| 1:08.4 | super smart could be a great liar with coverages understood everybody's job |
| 1:13.9 | and everyone says that about a Caleb Downs or you say the sunny styles type of player that is that |
| 1:18.8 | change move piece crazy athlete i can get him in rush situations you get okay so like i could sit |
| 1:25.7 | there and i think everybody if one of those two players were the selection, you would sit there and say, that totally makes sense for exactly who Washington wants to be. But then I could also go, well, I could see if a Jeremiah love false to them. I don't want to say false, but is available at seven, you know, then you go, man, could you |
| 1:44.9 | replicate the Jalen Hurd's Sequin Barclay running attack of 2004? Or for Carnell Tate, the wide |
| 1:51.5 | receiver, how state goes and says, because David Blow, I think of David Blow. And I go, okay, |
| 1:56.7 | David Blow was in Minnesota when they had a Justin Jefferson and two wide receivers set, maybe it's in Addison or a Thielen. And then he's in Detroit when they had James and William's and Ahman Ross St. Brown. Okay. Well, we know they have Terry McLaren. You know, so what happens if a Cardinal Tate is there or Jordan Tyson's there? Like, do they want that second wide receiver piece? That's why I think there's a lot of available options. |
| 2:20.5 | So, Daniel Oloski, not really nailing down who he thinks that they're going to pick. |
| 2:24.2 | He threw out 15 different players. |
| 2:25.5 | So he's just going through, you know, a list of options. |
