00:00All right, so Peter Schrager has put out his mock draft, his loan mock draft.
00:03Wait a minute.
00:04Wait a minute.
00:05First of all, I'm tired of you pulling out random information on the internet.
00:11Peter Schrager is no random.
00:12What is wrong with you?
00:13Okay, okay, okay.
00:14I stay corrected.
00:16I stay corrected.
00:17You sit corrected right now.
00:18Okay, I sit.
00:20I sit.
00:21I sit corrected.
00:21Peter Schrager, formerly of the NFL Network.
00:24I think if you work for the NFL Network, that is a reputable place.
00:27Okay, Vlad.
00:28He no longer works for the NFL Network.
00:30I am correct.
00:31He now works for ESPN now.
00:34Yeah, because just what ESPN needs is another NFL insider.
00:37They got them all.
00:38They're like the Panthers.
00:39They're like hoarding NFL insiders.
00:41Like just waves.
00:44So Peter Schrager, but here's the thing, Leroy.
00:47He nailed last year Chop Robinson to the Dolphins.
00:51A little bit of a, you know, which I think it caught, you know, some Dolphins by surprise.
00:55Chop Robinson going to the Dolphins.
00:57Ends up having a good rookie year.
00:59But this one's interesting for the Dolphins because he's got a little bit of a switch.
01:03Now, listen, I've been mock draft.
01:05I've been looking at every mock draft that comes out here because I'm fascinated where
01:09the Dolphins are going to end up.
01:10They're in this kind of weird middle tier where you're kind of at the mercy of what
01:14everybody else is going to do.
01:15But the Dolphins also have a lot of needs.
01:17And I would say based on what I've seen on mock drafts, the most popular three guys I've
01:23seen the Dolphins go for.
01:25It's really switched to the two Texas guys, but it's mostly been Jaday Barron, cornerback
01:30from Texas, Calvin Banks, tackle from Texas, and Will Johnson, the cornerback from Michigan.
01:36Correct.
01:37Will Johnson sinking like a stone.
01:39Now everybody's scared as hell of his medicals.
01:41He's apparently got degenerative knees.
01:43I don't know where he's going to end up, but everybody says like, Hey, he's got all the
01:47talent.
01:47He's a prototype, but everybody's scared off by the health.
01:50So I feel like he's sinking like a stone on all these mocks.
01:52So I've, it's been mostly the Texas guys I've seen, but the guy that Schrager has going
01:58to the Dolphins is another Michigan Wolverine who I have basically seen leveling.
02:04No, not the tight end.
02:05Oh, the defensive tackle of defensive tackle Mason Graham.
02:09Cause I've seen Mason Graham on every mock draft, basically not past five.
02:13Everybody has Jacksonville taking him or New England.
02:18Right.
02:18Although I think the most popular thing I've seen with new England is Campbell.
02:21The, uh, the, the T-Rex arm tackle from LSU.
02:25I'm sorry, Will Campbell.
02:26You seem like a nice man.
02:27If you end up a dolphin, I would love it.
02:29But, uh, Schrager.
02:32So he's got the typical top four.
02:34No surprises, you know, nothing.
02:36Cam Moore, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, the Giants, Will Campbell, the Patriots, pretty
02:40much chalk of what it's been five though.
02:45Switchy poo.
02:47Apparently there's a lot of buzz instead of Mason Graham, which has been the most popular
02:52pick because of need and where Jacksonville is at.
02:54They got them taking Ashton.
02:56Gentry at number five.
02:58Wait, Jacksonville.
02:59Yup.
03:00So what happened to 18?
03:03Wait, we can't have Haitian on Haitian crime.
03:05I don't know what to tell you, dude.
03:06I don't know.
03:07Like, we're not having Haitian on Haitian crime.
03:09Has he been banged up though?
03:11He has been banged up.
03:12He kind of lost his job last year.
03:14I mean, he's been in the league a while already.
03:15Like, you know, it's, it's one of those things where they're like, they're like, oh, you've
03:18been in the league four years.
03:19See you running back.
03:20You know, unless your name's Saquon.
03:22They don't treat you like that.
03:23Hey, let me tell you, them streets are tough out there for running backs.
03:26They are.
03:27So he just do a back, uh, a Haitian, uh, um, backfield, but he's got, but he's got Ashton
03:37Gentry going to the Jaguars.
03:38I was like, okay.
03:40Membu going to the Raiders at six.
03:43That's been pretty common.
03:44Got the jets though.
03:45Vlad, they can tie the woman at seven.
03:48See, no, we want Membu.
03:49We're trading, by the way.
03:51We're trading down.
03:53We're trading down.
03:54You think you're trading back?
03:56I think we're trading down.
03:57Yeah.
03:57Cause I think Membu.
03:59Gentry is very interesting.
04:00This is going to be an interesting job.
04:02Gentry was always said to be going to the Raiders.
04:04Yes.
04:06Right.
04:06And then all of a sudden now it seems like they want to shore up their offensive line.
04:11So now Membu is going to be the, uh, best tackle available.
04:16The jets can go tight end.
04:18They can go right tackle or they can trade down and get more picks.
04:22You want to have as many picks in these top ones, especially when this, this is a deep
04:27draft, right?
04:28It's not as much top heavy as normal drafts.
04:32This is a really deep draft in that you might have some actual contributors in the third,
04:39fourth and fifth round.
04:40So he's got, um, so he's got Warren going to the jets, Warren going to the jets, Jalen
04:49Walker, the linebacker from Georgia, going to Carolina, Mikael Williams, edge from Georgia
04:53going to the saints.
04:54He's got a Colts trade up to 10 to take Loveland, the tight end at 10.
05:00He's got a Walter Nolan, defensive tackle from Ole Miss going to San Francisco at 11.
05:04And then the, the Dallas Cowboys taking Tyler Booker, the stud guard from Alabama at 12.
05:11And then a man who's been pretty much projected chalk wise as a top five pick.
05:16He's got Mason Graham falling to the dolphins at number 13.
05:21He says Graham has been viewed likely as a top five pick for the past few months.
05:25And he could still go there, but if he falls to number 13, this is a nice win for Miami.
05:29Who would be getting a day one culture changer and a can't miss prospect.
05:34And I got to tell you him and Zach sealer.
05:38I still think it's a long shot because you know, it doesn't feel like he's going to fall
05:42that far, but if that did happen, Leroy, him and him and sealer next to each other, that'd
05:48be something.
05:48So my question is this, if you have a chance to get the guard or.
05:58Or Mason.
06:01Ooh.
06:01So Booker or Mason.
06:02Right.
06:03With I'm, I'm just, I'm curious to, to.
06:09What will you rather have?
06:12Like you need both.
06:15But for this team, it's almost like the offensive guard is more important.
06:21Even though Mason may have more production.
06:27So how do you, and, and here's the thing.
06:30If they end up with the D tackle for Michigan, that is actually a value pick.
06:37Yeah.
06:37Cause you're getting a guy at 13.
06:39That was a top five pick.
06:41Oh, all.
06:44Draft season.
06:45It, it, it, guys.
06:48Yeah.
06:51Who's going to cover your receivers for you?
06:54Oh, that's a good storm.
06:55Duck.
06:56Oh, no.
06:58What do you mean?
06:58No.
06:59He's got the name storm.
07:00Duck.
07:01But.
07:02You might.
07:02Thing is, is that.
07:04Have you ever, have you ever met.
07:06A corner.
07:07A starting corner.
07:14That all of a sudden came around that you didn't know was any good till his third or fourth year.
07:21Yeesh.
07:22I don't know.
07:22See what I'm saying?
07:23You, you understand what I'm saying?
07:25That, that if there's a corner on your roster that is worthy of playing that position,
07:34you would have already been talking about him because he'd been playing and playing well.
07:40And then you could do without certain guys.
07:44So, I don't know if anybody on this roster can step up to play at that level.
07:52Cause we would have kind of already heard about it.
07:55You don't just go from cold turkey to starting corner.
07:59Especially when you need dime, nickel.
08:02So, that, that guy's probably been playing and you've seen some promising signs out of him before.
08:08Now, this is what I would say though.
08:09Like, I agree with you, but here's what, with, with the corner thing.
08:14Even if they, even if these guys aren't very good, first of all, they did half a season with Eli Apple at starting corner.
08:20Okay.
08:21We can, if we can, if we can survive that, we can survive anything.
08:24You ain't even got to.
08:25We, we, we survive.
08:26If we can survive that, we can survive anything.
08:28Second of all, like, it's not like these rookies, well, they may not be Jalen Ramsey, which I kind of cooled off too.
08:36Like, uh, you know, I saw that, uh, McVay opened the door for reuniting, which God, I hate that.
08:43That's like, uh, it's not that it look, get what you can for him.
08:46But the fact that you'd like, end up going back to the Rams with a trade and be like, Oh, it didn't work out for you.
08:51Poor dolphins.
08:52I'll take them right now.
08:54Here's the, here's the, here's the other one.
08:58Yeah.
08:58If Mason's playing D tackle, does that make storm duck better?
09:05Because you got a better pass rush.
09:07That's what, well, yeah.
09:07And that's like, I just think that I feel like the, that to me, it's probably the bigger hole, even then I, so if it's him in offensive, like I think if he's that good and you can get him, I would go, I would, I would go with him.
09:24But it's, it's, you're getting what has been determined to be a top five pick for most of the off season.
09:32But, but Traeger, I'm going to tell you right now, Traeger, you get my hopes up and this doesn't happen.
09:37You're dead to me.
09:39Because if he goes in the top five, I'm going to be really mad.
09:41Wait a minute.
09:42Wait a minute.
09:43You're dead to me.
09:44Don't tease me.
09:46Hey, he brought out the appetizer and got him all excited for the meal.
09:52And then just give me like, you know, like rice kinks.
09:58Don't do that to me.
10:01You say, Will John.
10:02Yeah.
10:03Mason Graham coming to the Dolphins.
10:06That's great.
10:07Peter Traeger.
10:07Don't do this to me.
10:08You're dead to me.
10:09He's just giving you something.
10:11Listen, by the way, because both teams are in a similar situation, except that you have a quarterback.
10:17We don't.
10:17But when you're a team that has a lot of holes, you're really going to find, you're going to fill up one of those holes.
10:24You're going to fill one of those needs.
10:25Right.
10:26It's just the, which one has the immediate impact.
10:30And Mason Graham has that.
10:32And that's, and that's, and, and, and here's what I would say.
10:38You probably need the guard more, but Mason Graham will make a more of an impact immediately.
10:47So, and, and keep in mind, if it's me, I'm looking at it like, I got a top five pick, a top five graded player, because all these other dummies drafted out of need, I got to take them.
11:05I have to, right?
11:07You have to take them because that is value.
11:10I don't care what position he plays.
11:13That's value.
11:15But.
11:17It sounds right.
11:18If this is a fluffer mock draft, I'm going to be pissed at trigger.
11:21Got my hopes up for it.
11:22Wait, no, no, no, no.
11:23First of all, timeout, timeout, timeout.
11:26You fraud.
11:27What?
11:27Because, Vlad, when this all started and I was asking questions and, and try to, and try, and try to question, question my man's bona fides, right?
11:42Y'all jumped down.
11:43No, no, no, no, no, no.
11:44I jumped you to.
11:45No, he was like, he was like, he got stormed up, right?
11:48And now.
11:49Stormed up.
11:50No, you can't do that.
11:52You can't do that.
11:53So, you, you like, so now all of a sudden, you all of a sudden flipping and say, you better be right.
12:01He got, he got Chop Robinson, right?
12:04Chop Robinson, right?
12:04I'm sorry.
12:05He only got Stormed up, right?
12:06Shrake, I'm going to give you Shraker.
12:08He's had the last four Super Bowls, right?
12:11Shraker knows stuff.
12:12Shraker's right.
12:13Like, hey, that's fine.
12:15But you can't.
12:16And they share a lot of information, but people love to talk to him.
12:20So, if he's telling you this, that there's a legit reason why he's telling you this.
12:24But, Vlad, the conversation started.
12:28With Tobin.
12:28With Tobin all on board.
12:32And then at the end of the segment, after 12 to 15 minutes talking about it and talking about the validity of the guy,
12:42giving the information, you just jumped off the ship.
12:46I told you when I grew up on the farm.
12:47We're not even in treacherous waters.
12:49You just jumped off.
12:50I'm out.
12:51I told you when I grew up on the farm about the teaser horse, right?
12:54And the tough life of the teaser horse, where they just let him smell the mare and he gets to hump the wall.
12:58That's basically what Traeger's doing to us if he does that.
13:01Wait, but you didn't start the conversation off like this.
13:05I'd be very excited.
13:06I would love getting used to be there.
13:08Wait, did you hear how he started this conversation all excited?
13:12I was the negative Nancy.
13:14You're right.
13:14And then when you start hearing this stuff, you're like, oh, okay.
13:17Yeah, and then as soon as I get my wet ass back on the boat and say I'm all in, you jump off.
13:25The motor starts.
13:27The motor starts.
13:29You jump right in.
13:31Make up your damn mind.
13:33I'm going to believe him.
13:34I'm going to believe him.
13:34We believe him.
13:35It just seems too good to be true.
13:37Wait, because like what the hell is wrong?
13:40Now, all right, that explains all.
13:43Things always go left when you think it should be going right with the Dolphins that you don't expect this fortune to happen to you.
13:53That's why you're – okay, that makes sense.
13:54I tell you what.
13:55I understand that.
13:56As a Jet fan, I understand that.
13:57This Tyler Warren and this Loveland, oh, my goodness.
14:03They're animals.
14:04They're good.
14:04They're good.
14:06They're good.
14:06And they're big.
14:07And somebody told me the difference between those two guys and the other two.
14:17Huh?
14:18Our guy down here?
14:19Yeah.
14:20Is they're bigger.
14:23A lot bigger.
14:25Yeah, a couple of just rhinoceroses who can –
14:28Right, right.
14:29Fleet of foot rhinoceroses.
14:31And, yeah, can run.
14:34They like to block as well.
14:35And, see, that's the kicker with these tight ends now.
14:42If I can put you on the end of the line of scrimmage and not have to show what I'm doing so we can still run the ball or we can throw the ball to you or we can split you out or there's so many things that we can do with you, that creates versatility in our offense.
14:58If you're a smaller tight end, right, and I can't put you on the end of the line of scrimmage, all you are is a big-ass slot receiver.
15:06Let's do it.
15:07Please structure.
15:08Let's do it.
15:09Make sure you once it takes over, wait a second.
15:10Let's do it.
15:13Well, thanks again.
15:13See you next time.
15:14Let's do it.
15:15Yeah.
15:15Make sure you wash your brow.
15:16Please control your hands in the choice right now.
15:18I'll cover it.
15:20Let's Cri sociedade.
15:20Say.
15:21Let's do it.
15:22May hair.
15:23I'll cover it.
15:24May hair.
15:25especially supposedly since the Bible.
15:26Sometimes it's stop your arm.
15:27Can you no denammers prep for example?
15:29Well, if you can select yourself.
15:30And now there's not a choice right now.
15:31Jennifer, give himself a vara.
15:32Stay cured victim and his place.
15:33Stay large my feet, or not a Pel Person.
