| 0:00.0 | We will get to the game at hand this weekend with Washington and Philadelphia, although admittedly that game is going to suck and it's going to be very difficult to watch because no one is going to be playing in the season ended weeks ago for Washington. |
| 0:14.0 | But we're still looking ahead. I want draft. I love draft. And there's nobody better than Ryan Fowler. Join us here on the Kevin Sheehan show. Ryan, how much fun have you had the past two days watching some of the top prospects play in the hope for the national championship? Man, it's been great. First off, then, appreciate you, man. Happy New Year to you and yours. It's been great, man. It's been great. I love watching ball this time of year. It's really, you know, for Washington's perspective, unfortunately, you know, just a lot of really, you know, just a scout in the off season. It's been their Super Bowl for decades now. Now hopefully moving to this year with a major offseason, right, for Dan, Quinn, Adam Peters. but it's always a joy watching these big-time ball players go out it, blue chip recruits, four stars, five stars, guys even lower, |
| 0:56.7 | guys like Trinidad Chameless. Dan, Quinn, Adam Peters. But it's always a joy watching these big-time ball players go out of blue chip recruits, |
| 0:55.0 | four-star, five-stars, guys even lower. Guys like Trinidad Chamberlis, you know, really kind of letting a nation know, hey, he can play ball even at the highest level. So it's a lot of fun watching these guys really let their socks store or for some of the guys, let it slip a little bit as well. So we've been having a conversation about available options potentially for Washington |
| 1:13.2 | and who they should go with. |
| 1:15.5 | Should certain guys be available? |
| 1:17.2 | One of the guys that I am in love with is David Bailey. |
| 1:21.3 | And that would be my selection if I'm Washington. |
| 1:23.4 | What did you see when you watched him yesterday and when you watch him throughout the course of the year? Yeah, entering even yesterday, he was my ed one in this class, Stenton. I know the consensus is really revolving around Ruben Bain. I think he's an outstanding football player as well. But every time he watched David Bailey on tape, whether it was at Stanford or whether it's been this year at Texas Tech. He is the most explosive pass thruster in this class. |
| 1:46.6 | He can affect the game in a variety of ways that you saw him batting down passes yesterday |
| 1:50.2 | if he's not able to get to the quarterback. |
| 1:52.5 | I think he's just a flat-out dominant potential type of football player at the NFL level |
| 1:57.4 | that can win with speed. |
| 1:59.1 | He can win through your chest plate with power. |
| 2:19.3 | You saw the versatility that he has dropping into the fringe areas if you have to. Now, you're not drafting him to play in the fringe areas and coverage. You're asking to pin his ears back and get you 10 plus sacks a year. But he is edge one for me right now in this class and specifically for Washington where you got to get guys that can get after the passer. You tried it in years prior drafting guys like Case Young, Lamontes |
| 2:21.1 | sweat, you thought this class and specifically for Washington where you got to get guys that can get after the passer. You tried it in years prior drafting guys like Chase Young and Montes-Swed. You thought they would be these elite types of guys. In my opinion, I think David Bailey is the premier, pure pass rusher in this class. Again, sensational yesterday in that ballgame. And I'm very, very excited to see him in a couple weeks that and in those |
| 2:35.3 | one-on-one situations down there in Mobile where I think he's going to absolutely solidify himself as a top 10 pick in this class. Has he officially accepted an invite to the senior bowl in Mobile? He has, yes. Oh, that's going to be, and that's your bread and butter too. You're going to be, yeah, that's going to be, you're going to be in heaven for a couple of days. |
| 2:52.9 | And it's a loaded group down there that Drew Fabianich, you know, taking over for Jim Nagy down there, Mobile to Senior Bowl, has a really good group going down there in just a couple weeks. There should be a lot of fun. Is the Ruben Bain arm length a big deal or no deal? I don't think it's a deal at all. I'm not going to say, hey, it's apples to apples with what we talked about last year, you know, with Will Campbell on the opposite side of the ball at LSU. But I just watched the tape and tape never lies. You know, for a lot of people, I just, I beg you guys, hey, just turn the film just a little bit of Ruben Bain. He is the most elite run stopper in this class, whether it's an edge guy or an interior player, and then he is the most powerful edge rusher in this class. Really, for me, the best power rush I've seen since Jared Verst at a Florida state. And he's even got some George Carlis to his game as far as the ability to win with power and win with the hand, swipes, the rips, the |
| 3:41.9 | dips, the things that he can do at three tech, at five tech, outside the shoulder of the tackle. |
| 3:46.3 | Just a very versatile and powerful player that really has only gotten better as the season has |
| 3:52.0 | gone on. |
| 3:52.5 | I'm very excited to see him against this Ole Miss Front Five and Trinidad Shameless next time |
