00:00Ah, yes, the draft class of 2023. Now or never is a good way to put it with a lot of these guys. And every single one of those guys listed has a big question to answer. I'll start with the bubble. Zach Pickens has to be on the bubble for me. He has the benefit of the front office, which drafted him still being here. It wasn't a complete regime change in January. And so you have probably a general manager in Ryan Poles who would like to see that through to the fullest possible extent.
00:27But when you put new eyes of a new coaching staff in place, they're going to want to see something to believe that you belong in their program. And so Zach Pickens has been largely disappointing. He's been hurt a lot over his first two years. He hasn't really produced much on a consistent basis. That's the bubble guy from that list there.
00:44As far as a breakout candidate, I'm going to give you Tyreek Stevenson because I think his skill set, I think his union with both Dennis Allen and Al Harris set him up for a real prove it season with the defense that the Bears are vowing to play with more press man coverage, man to man coverage overall.
01:02And Tyreek Stevenson's got an opportunity here to put the horror of last year behind him. I really do appreciate his mindset. He's got an edge to him. He's obviously bothered by what happened in Washington and everything that followed. But this dude's been through things in life. And I think he's ready to really seize a starting role and then see how much he can do with it. And so that would be my breakout candidate.
01:27He's got a good position coach now. Yeah, Al Harris is one of the best.
