And now, Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

What's up, everybody?

Welcome to Move the Sticks, DJ and Buck with you.

Buck, what is going on, man?

Not too much, DJ.

Just, you know, rocking and rolling, knocking out these top fives, trying to put together boards.

I don't do the top 50 like you do, but I do kind of compile my own list and I'm going through it kind of stacking everything before we get to the combine. So I don't get swayed by some of the performance that we'll see in the underwear Olympics. Yeah, it is hard, man. It is hard to, you know, to make sure you're being thorough, to make sure, okay, I'm taking, there's new information we're getting here as we're going through the process, but make sure you still hold to what you saw in the video. Now, the one thing I'll, I'll kind of give people a little peek behind the curtain, at least on my process. And I know, you know, was like this for teams and I know

it continues to be like this. I think there's a disconnect between the general public and the

scouting community of how do you guys change your, how do you guys change your order at this time

of year? Like they haven't played any games. It's been months. And then do you guys have changes?

You update your top five. They update my top 50 and guys are moving jostling around and months. And then you guys have changes. You update your top five.

They update my top 50 and guys are moving and jostling around and everything. And I always say,

look, it's, it's always new information that's coming in. And it's not like we sit here,

you know, in the scouting community as well. You don't sit there and watch all 13 games on every

player and then and then put them in concrete on the wall.

What happens is you've got a, you know, economy of time here.

So you got to be able to get through all these players.

I kind of equated to getting a base layer of paint done.

So I'm taking these guys in a list.

If you could just imagine just kind of this long list of names and just think of lists of buckets. And it's like, okay, these are these are the six three grades. So boom, boom, boom, dump all these guys in the bucket. So all the time is being spent getting these guys in the right buckets. And then as we get time once that whole, you've watched this whole kind of group to that level. Now the guys that haven't made the cut, you're probably done with them. Probably not watching any more on those guys. But I'm going to take that slot receiver day two bucket where I might have four or five guys. And now I can really drill down and watch them one after another after another, watch everything. And then I'm going to watch them block. I'm going to watch the whole thing because I'm going to find the smallest little separators and that could move guys within that four or five group up or down. Yeah, the best way to give an analogy is say the first thing that you're trying to do is get the right people on the bus. So we got everybody on the bus. We understand like, okay, these are the tiers of players. Then it's about getting them in the right
