| 0:00.0 | I think there's going to be players taken on day two at safety that will start in this league for a long time. |
| 0:06.4 | And quite frankly, I think there's a handful of guys specifically that will go in that third round that can be starting safeties in this league. |
| 0:13.4 | And the first year, Jeff Hathley arrived in Green Bay, what did they do about sign Xavier McKinney and draft Javon Bullard and draft Evan Williams and remade a safety group in one year to one of the best in the entire national football league. |
| 0:25.3 | That could happen for the Dolphins quickly, I think, if they so prioritize it in this year's draft. |
| 0:32.0 | Hey, yo, what is up, Dolph fans? |
| 0:34.6 | And welcome to the draft time podcast. |
