Yeah, I mean, he was one of the guys that I kind of lately have been, I'll be honest, I just, I saw the, the 2024 grade in his size. And then I thought, yeah, that sounds all right. What is his size? He's like 6.3, 200 plus. And I don't know exactly like Jake was talking about how well he's going to run. But he does seem like that in spurts that the guy's got enough Twitch where he can, I don't want to compare him to like an Allen Lazard because I feel like he's more of a better athlete than that. But I mean, I personally just, I want a big X that we know is going to run out there and just get people's attention. And if he is a little more athleticism to him, I thought that Pat Bryant looked really good. That's just personally. Got it. You know, we could pull the whole Jaden Reed thing, right? He runs slow with the combine, just invite him in for a top 30 until everybody ran a four-four and draft him, right? We're all good. That's the way that'll work. Up next, you got one of my favorite prospects of the draft. And Jake, if you know of any injuries, injury concern with any of these guys, just let us know that too. That's one thing that I'm definitely very, very ignorant with here with the draft. But Jay Higgins, linebacker out of Iowa, I feel like we're probably going to need two backers Eric Wilson. I would like to see him just let McDuffie walk and maybe bring back Eric Wilson if you can on a decent deal. They're a nice team-friendly deal if he doesn't have a whole lot of attention and free agency, seeing that he's flirting with 30 years of age. But Jay Higgins out of Iowa at 132 in round four, Emilio, where do we have him at, bro?

1:30.8

We have him at 89th, with an 80 overall grade.

1:34.8

Dude was consistent.

1:37.3

Yes.

1:38.9

Jake, what do you think about that, man?

1:40.8

Us having him right around the 80 mark.

1:48.0

Yeah, it seems like he's i i i'm not sure there there's clearly like a disconnect pff rankings versus grades which is totally fine like

1:52.9

you're if you're doing your own you know i don't know who's board this is built off of right

1:57.0

the the mock draft simulator who it's using but yeah it seems like he's being undervalued um

2:02.4

i know he's it it could be kind of a light version of jack camp same school right easy

2:09.2

maybe a lazy comp but like these guys who maybe aren't like super fast right there oh man

2:15.3

they're not running sideline a sideline oh no they can't They can't, you know, sprint up the Tampa 2 with receivers.

2:20.4

But he's instinctive in both phases completely.

2:24.0

Like run game, you know, coverage.

2:27.5

He's sinking when he needs to.

2:29.7

He's widening when he needs to.

2:31.4

Like you can tell that he's locked on the quarterback's eyes, locked in on concepts, like he knows where he needs to be at all times. And if you're instinctive enough, you can overcome a lack of speed and explosiveness. Some of these fast guys, sometimes they don't know where they're going, to be honest, run around with their head cut off, right? Like a chicken, right? It says it, so when you have instinctive linebackers, it really, really helps your entire defensive unit. And with, you know, how many guys, Iowa, you know, continues to send to the draft, he's kind of been there as like kind of the last guy holding the fort down almost of kind of the last, you know, four or five years of the position. So yeah, I, I'm, I mean, you could get about 132. Sign me up. Sounds great. Yeah, the consensus big board has him at 1.2040. He peaked at 95. So he's obviously dropped since then according to the consensus big board. Jacob, what do you think about Jay Higgins here at 132, man?

3:25.0

What you got on him?

3:26.0

I would love it. I mean, just personally, if we could get him in there, like you talked about, I've loved what McDuffie has done for the team. I really love what Eric Wilson did for the team coming in as a veteran that really could perform very well on special teams and just in a pinch. but could you imagine if our starting three was Quay, Edge, and a guy like Hidgens? I mean, that sounds pretty good to me, man. I mean, I don't even know where you'd want to categorize them as far as Mike, Will, Sam, Buck, whatever you want to call him. But as long as we got three guys, throw them out there, dude. I'm excited as all hell to see that.

3:58.6

And I keep forgetting about Hopper, dude,

4:01.0

because we could have something with him, man.

4:03.5

I really do think that we're sleeping on Hopper.
