00:00I thought it was a good, solid draft.

00:02I would put it in those terms, you know.

00:04I thought it was a winning draft.

00:06I mean, they addressed, obviously, a little bit of everything

00:09if you just look at the positions, but they got a couple guys.

00:14I mean, their first two picks, and I'm a big fan of the offensive lineman,

00:18Trapillo, is that how you pronounce his name, Trapillo?

00:21Trapillo.

00:22Trapillo, Ozzie.

00:23I'm a big fan of his, too.

00:25So I would say their first three picks are all guys that got a chance

00:32to make a difference.

00:34I mean, I really do.

00:37And then from there, you know, the defensive lineman guy,

00:40you know, just to go quick here, he's an aggressive, tough guy.

00:45You know, can he make enough plays?

00:47You know, it depends on how they're going to use him.

00:49And then from there, the linebacker, you know,

00:51anytime you get a linebacker, the first question that you should ask yourself,

00:55is this guy going to be a core special teams guy?

00:58And I kind of compare him to Sanborn and say,

01:01I don't think he's as good a linebacker.

01:03He's not as Sanborn, but he is faster.

01:05More athletic.

01:05And more athletic.

01:06He can fly.

01:07And he can fly.

01:08Talking about Ruben Hippolyte.

01:09Yeah, he can fly.

01:10So he should be a good special teams guy.

01:13And if he can be a backup linebacker and a special teams guy,

01:15then you've got a good player.

01:17And I like the Newman guy.

01:18I'll tell you what, you know, doing the Big Ten TV every week,

01:21this guy at Michigan State talking to people up there,

01:24they felt the same thing.

01:25They said, he is an athlete.

01:26He can play guard.

01:27He can play center.

01:28He can play tackle.

01:29So, I mean, he could end up being a fine.

01:32And then our guy, Mononga, Kyle Mononga from Rutgers.

01:36I'm a fan of his.

01:38I'm a fan of his.

01:38I would have liked to see the Bears.

01:40I guess the only thing is,

01:41I just know that a running back and running the ball is critical to this style of offense.

01:48Critical.

01:49And between the tackles running the ball.

01:52And he can do that.

01:53He can do that.

01:56In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at the end of the day if he doesn't surface as being a heck of a lot better than what perception is right now.

02:03Interesting.
