00:00I'm curious on a couple of specific things he said yesterday, specifically on Will Campbell

00:05and Travis Hunter.

00:06He said you've got to evaluate Campbell as a tackle.

00:09It made it sound like Travis Hunter would be a guy who played on one side of the ball

00:13or the other, and then they'd put more on his plate.

00:16Did you gain any insight into what the Patriots may be doing it for based on those answers?

00:21Definitely.

00:22I think if they take Travis Hunter, Travis Hunter is going to come in with an expectation

00:26that he's voiced, that he's going to be met with, sorry, we're not doing it your way,

00:31Travis.

00:32You're 23 or 22 or whatever you are.

00:34We're going to do it our way, and you're going to play on the offensive side of the ball

00:37because we have two corners, a $20 million one and an all-pro.

00:41So come on over.

00:43Get yourself comfortable because you're not going to have a $20 million cornerback and

00:46Carlton Davis who's a backup.

00:48So I found that telling because if you draft Travis Hunter, you're probably drafting him

00:54as an offensive player, and he's not what you would call a finished offensive product

01:00yet because he's just not been devoted at the same level that some of the excellent

01:05receivers last year.

01:06Your McLeek neighbors or Ryan Thomas' or anybody else who came out in last year's draft.

01:10So to me, I find it really interesting, and I thought it was informative, and I did glean

01:15from the Campbell answer that if you're going to point out how well he looked in the SEC,

01:23which I think you rightly should, this is the safest thing to do to make sure you don't

01:28screw up the pick.

01:29And so you can get immediate bang for your buck is get the appliance that your house

01:32needs at four.

01:34And I know you guys keep saying, and I understand you don't do that at four, but this year's

01:39four is not like the other years for us.

01:41Well, I think if he's a left tackle, I am, you know, all right, taking him at four.

01:46I would rather have Travis Hunter, but he might be off the board.

01:49So if he's off the board, cause variable had that good line about, well, if you tell me

01:52who's going one through three, I can tell you who's going four.

01:54And so it does.

01:57My takeaway was maybe similar is like, it probably will end up being Will Campbell.

02:00And then I think if a year from now he ends up being a left guard, like, man, that is,

02:05that is so at this point, if they drafted Tyler Warren, all right, more traded down

02:09and drafted Tyler Warren.

02:11No, no, no.

02:12I wouldn't flip out.

02:13You are you.

02:14I heard you asking variable about this.

02:15You're like, take all the tight ends.

02:16I like Tyler Warren.
