00:00Charles, in your latest mock draft for NFL.com,

00:03you have the commanders taking Kelvin Banks Jr. tackle out of Texas.

00:07But in your comment, you write,

00:10Benjamin Morrison is your favorite corner in this draft.

00:14Now, I think Morrison is projected to go Friday night.

00:18This is a dude that I think dealt with injuries last year.

00:22But B, as a freshman, as a freshman three years ago,

00:28he had six picks.

00:30What do you like about Morrison?

00:31What do you like about him maybe Friday?

00:34You know, it's funny you brought that up.

00:36And for me, I'd written in my notes the word comfortable.

00:41Because everything I watched on tape, that's the word that came to mind.

00:45Whether he was impressed, whether he was off, whether he was in zone,

00:48whether he was a man, whether he was blitzing off the edge of the cat corner,

00:52whether he was coming up to tackle, comfortable.

00:55He looked fine in everything he was doing.

00:58I do believe that Friday is probably more likely because of the injuries.

01:02Like, he's had hip issues.

01:04So, I think he's had both hips done.

01:06That sort of deal.

01:07That took some time away.

01:09His medical recheck came back really good right before the draft.

01:12You know he had his own private workout on Monday,

01:14and I was told that went really well for him.

01:16But it's deep into the process.

01:19So, you wonder if people are going to want to take that shot at him.

01:22Because I do think healthy all the way through,

01:24we're talking about him with Will Johnson, Jaday Barron, Trey Amos,

01:29all the corners that I expect to go tonight.

01:32But to me, I love Benjamin Morrison.

01:34And Banks, I'm just going to tell you this, guys.

01:36I've got him down there.

01:38I've got a few people that I think are really smart in this

01:40that have called me and said,

01:41Dude, too low.

01:43You've got him too low.

01:44He's not going to be around there.

01:46Wow.

01:46That's the call.

01:47I've got multiple calls.

01:49Well, there's questions about the tackle depth here, right?

01:52So, I can see Banks going.

01:54Yeah.

01:54You can see him going.

01:55And here's the thing.

01:56When you watch these guys play,

01:58you guys remember when it all started,

02:00what did we talk about with him, right?

02:03Campbell from LSU was arm length, hand size.

02:07Can they do this?

02:08Can they do that?

02:09We've had examples all the way through of it working and not working.

02:13I think for Campbell and Banks,

02:16they're both going to be left tackles until proved differently.

02:19All right?

02:20I don't care about the arm length at all.

02:21Rashawn Slater had the same concern.

02:23That's the exact guy I think about every time I hear.

02:26Right?

02:26Yeah.

02:26He's living just fine with the Chargers.

02:28Now, the interesting thing is,

02:30the guy that succeeded Rashawn Slater at Northwestern was Peter Skorowski.

02:35And as soon as he was drafted, the Titans moved him to guard.

02:38So, it's all a matter of how you look at it.

02:40And by the way, he's staying at guard.

02:42He's not moving back out.

02:43It's all a matter of how you look at it, what you think is going to work.

02:47And in today's ball, I take him.

02:49I play him there until I believe he can't play anymore.

02:51And then I move him into guard if I have to.

02:53But I've still got a really good lineman.

02:55We don't have the same stigma that if you draft a left tackle and it doesn't hit,

02:59then he's an absolute bust.

03:01Robert Gallery went through that.

03:03Remember that?

03:03When he was number two over at the back of Iowa?

03:05And it didn't work well at left tackle.

03:07They moved him to guard.

03:08He played really well for double-digit years in the league.

03:11And everybody still says, oh, he was such a bust.

03:13No, he wasn't a bust.

03:14He was a good player.

03:15But he didn't make it at left tackle.

03:17So, that made him a bust in their eyes.
