00:00I think James Pierce Jr. is a guy that could be there at 29.

00:05More than all of it, though, B, I think trading out of 29

00:08is probably more likely than us picking the player they take.

00:11It's probable.

00:12I mean, if you look at the position at 29,

00:15let's say they get to 29 and the player that they may be looking for,

00:21but I think they put themselves in a position

00:23where they could take best player available.

00:25But if they get to 29, there are some people

00:27that completely is against what they're looking for.

00:31Moving back and getting some extra picks wouldn't hurt.

00:34A guy getting picked at 29, a guy getting picked at 33 or 34

00:37in the second round is much different, not much.

00:40You know, those guys are sometimes they get on the runs

00:43of a certain position grouping and you slip out of the first round.

00:48Hey, that's cool.

00:51I think the best thing that can happen for Washington

00:54is continued interest in Jalen Milrow and Jackson Dart.

00:59And some team wants to get back up into there,

01:03into the first round to get those quarterbacks

01:06so they get a fifth-year option on them.

01:09And let Washington move down.

01:11I mean, right now they just have so few picks.

01:13Right now they have five picks and only two of them

01:15are in the top 100 at 29 and 61.

01:19We saw it last year with Adam Peters moving back in the draft

01:22to acquire more picks. I think we'll see that again.

01:25Whether it's 29 or 61, I bet they move out of one of those two picks.

01:30And what Peter said is, you know, you need somebody

01:33that will move, that wants to move up.

01:36I think usually that will exist.

01:39I did have a question for you.

01:42We've all kind of talked about the same names.

01:45There's no way Carter, Walker, Stuart, Green are there.

01:49I think those are all top 20 picks.

01:51And then you've got Michael Williams from Georgia that I like,

01:54Aziraku, James Pierce.

01:55There's other names, right?

01:58Texas A&M has Scowerton.

02:02I'm curious what you think about Jack Sawyer, the big dude.

02:07The kid from Ohio State?

02:08Yeah, the kid from Ohio State.

02:09These guys tend to like captains and leaders.

02:15Yeah, he's a steady inning.

02:16Right.

02:17You know, and I think a lot of times we get caught up in the section

02:22that's how I'm a pick.

02:24This guy does this, does that.

02:26But also when you start picking those guys like that,

02:28those are the ones that normally have that risk of getting banged up a lot,

02:33not making it the whole year.

02:35But you get a guy who rolls in like a Ryan Kerrigan was.

02:38He wasn't very sexy what he did, but he constantly was just there,

02:43year in and year out.

02:45And I think Sawyer kind of reminds me of somebody like that.

02:48You know, so if you get a guy that can play 10, 12 years for you,

02:52and he gets 9, 10, 9, 10, 9, 10, maybe 11, back to 9, 10,

02:58but you get another guy come in and he gets 15 one year,

03:01he's hurt the next year.

03:02It's 10 the next year, banged up again.

03:06Who's best overall?

03:07Right.

03:08You know, and I think that's what you got to start looking at.

03:11Yes, you want guys who could do it.

03:13If you find one, cool.

03:15But if there's a guy that you can get that can be consistent

03:18for a long period of time, over time that will pay off for you.

03:24I mean, so here's my thing.

03:26If they do move back, a guy like Sawyer I find interesting.

03:29When you watch Michigan, did the kid Josiah Stewart pop for you at all?

03:36He's kind of skinny.

03:36He's 6'1", 250 or something.

03:40Yeah, but see, J.I., from years back, I got away from thinking the guy got to be 6'6",

03:46whatever.

03:47Right.

03:47Because we went through the, Dwight Freeney was about 6'1", what was the kid in Denver?

03:555'11", 245.

03:57Doomerville.

03:58Yeah.

03:58You started getting guys that were the 5'11", to 6'2", 240, 250.

04:04Those guys are super athletic.

04:06And guess what?

04:06The 6'7", 6'8", office alignment, you got to get down low enough for them, you don't have no damn power.
