Mention my name for a free, no obligation in-home. estimate. Yeah, Coley's going to do film breakdowns today of Johnny Newton and Mikey Sanristill. Tomorrow, he'll tell you whether or not he thinks Brandon Coleman can be a starting left tackle in the league, and he will do wide receiver Luke McCaffrey as well. I mentioned on yesterday's show that I'm actually out of town, so I pre-recorded these two shows to run today, to be out today on May 23rd, and the other one to be out, tomorrow on May 24th. So there's not going to be much talking about games last night, although I will be watching the NBA games from where I am. I'm going to South Carolina for a long weekend, play some golf, hang out at the beach with family, and I will be back on Monday. But Cooley,

two straight days of film breakdowns starting in the next segment. But I wanted to share something with you real quickly before we get started with Cooley. And that's something is Warren Sharp's net rest advantage analysis that he does of the NFL schedule every year. I know we've done a lot of schedule talk here in the last week or so. But I think I found this maybe two years ago for the first time. I don't even know how long long time he's been doing it. Warren Sharp, long time NFL betting analyst. And he does this thing called net. rest advantage, where he looks at the entire NFL schedule, and he figures out which teams have the most rest going into their games and which teams have the least amount of rest going

into their games. Rest being a big deal in terms of time to prepare. You know, for player safety, more time to prepare is better than less time to prepare. Basically, net rest is how many more days you have to prepare for the upcoming game than your opponent. As an example, let's just say Washington has a buy week. So they have 14 days in between their last game and their next scheduled game. So they played a game on Sunday, May 8th, and they've got another game. They don't play in May. They have a game on Sunday, September 8th, but they don't have another game until Sunday, September 22nd. Their opponent on the 22nd is the giant. The Giants are actually playing on Monday night, September 16th.

So the Giants have six days to prepare for the Washington game, and Washington has 14 days to prepare for their game against the Giants. So the Washington commanders would have a plus eight-day net rest advantage. The Giants would have a minus eight-day rest edge, advantage. So he does this for the entire NFL schedule and he comes up with a net rest edge number for the entire season. Now, there are a couple of highlights to this year's analysis. First of all, the Ravens have the most rest of any team in the NFL. Their net rest edge is plus 16 days. All right. Sixteen days is the most in terms of a net rest edge since at least 1990, Warren Sharp reports.

The 49ers have the worst net rest edge at negative 21 days. That's the largest net rest disadvantage, Warren Sharp writes, in the last decade, and the sixth largest net rest disadvantage since. 1990. He says that the 2024 NFL schedule features a 37-day swing between the Ravens with the most rest and the 49ers with the least amount of rest, and that that is the biggest delta between the most rest and the least rest going back to 2000. He also says the 24 NFL schedule features a schedule in which there are 101 games played out of the 272, where 37% of the games where one team has a rest advantage over their opponent, which is the most in NFL history.

And he essentially says this is all about the NFL prioritizing, key matchups, and big-time television games for revenue. Of course it is. You know, safety, not so. much TV revenue. Yes, please, more of it. Now, I'm going to give you Washington's number here in a moment, but I did want to share just real quickly the 23 net rest advantage, net rest disadvantage numbers. And then you'll see that it doesn't necessarily mean if you've got a net rest disadvantage, an ugly number, that you won't do well. Because, Two of the three worst net rest disadvantages last year were Kansas City at minus 13 days and San Francisco at minus 20 days. They were in the Super Bowl.

The teams that had the biggest net rest advantage, the Jets, the Bears, and yes, Washington last year, three teams that were terrible. Now, he does explain this, and he talks about the numbers last year specific to the Chiefs and the 49ers. So he writes the following about last year's disadvantages for the Chiefs in the 49ers. He writes, the Chiefs had a net rest edge of minus 13, third worst in the NFL. But for the Chiefs, it wasn't just that they had less rest in general. They had less rest than their opponent for six straight weeks from week 12 through week 17. The Chiefs are uniquely built to overcome rest disadvantages. After all, they are back-to-back Super Bowl champions and have Patrick Mahomes.

But even they struggled with these games. When the Chiefs played with at least two days less rest than their opponents, as they did in five games last year, they were two and three and covered the spread in just one of those five games. In all of their other games, they were 13 and two and covered the spread in 12 of those 15 games. And so he said they did win the Super Bowl, they did have the third worst net rest number in the NFL, but a lot of that was confined to a five-week stretch where they actually went two and three during that stretch. The 49ers last year had a net rest edge of minus 20 days, by the way, back-to-back years with the 49ers having the

worst net rest number. He points out that the Niners had four games last year against teams coming off their buy weeks. And in those four games, they went just two and two despite being a heavy favorite in three of those four games. So two of their five losses, they went 12 and 5 last year were against teams coming off by weeks. By the way, betting-wise, in those four games, they were one and three against the number. And the three games that they didn't cover, they actually didn't cover by a whopping 32 and a half points. So they weren't even close to covering in any of those three games. So despite the 49ers and the Chiefs having significant net rest disadvantage, last year. They made it to the Super Bowl, but he points out that the worst part of their schedules

where they had major net rest disadvantages were the portions of their schedule where they struggled the most. So, where is Washington this year? Washington is at minus two days. Last year they were at the top. This year they're tied for 22nd with negative two days. of, you know, net rest disadvantage. Their number is negative two. They only have two games, actually, where they have seven-day differences, a seven-day advantage or a seven-day disadvantage. They're at a seven-day disadvantage against the Bears when they play the Bears on October 27th. The Bears are coming off a game in London two weeks previous to that, again, Jacksonville. So that's Washington's biggest net rest disadvantage. Their biggest net rest

advantage is off of their buy week, which is December 8th, and they play the Saints on December 15th, and they've got a seven-day rest advantage over the Saints on the 15th of December, because the Saints play the previous week. Anyway, it's something he puts together every year. I'll tell you what it does illustrate, no doubt. It illustrates that the NFL isn't really super concerned with player safety when it comes to rest. It's about the key matchups. It's about television matchups, you know, this year with so many holiday games and weird

scheduling with the Christmas Day games on Wednesday. because, as he points out, there's never been a more competitively imbalanced NFL schedule based on this criteria in the years in which he's been analyzing this. All right. Let's get to Cooley next right after these words from a few of our sponsors. Down to the final four in the NBA playoffs, guys.

He loved him and really thought there was no doubt that Jaden Daniels should be the number two overall pick. He actually would have picked Jaden Daniels number one overall. And then I asked him to do a film breakdown. of Ben Sinit, the tight end from Kansas State, which Cooley referred to as his doppelganger.

Yeah, I put a 47 on Ben Senate, and it looks just like Cooley. He's going to wear 82, by the way. But I asked you to do, and you were kind enough to do, four additional draft choice film breakdowns. So let's get started. And I would ask you, out of the four that I asked you to do, Mikey San Ristill, Johnny Newton, Brandon Coleman, and Luke McCaffrey. Why don't we start with your favorite player of the four that you did,

and I'll let you tell everybody who that is, and you can get started. Mikey Santer still. All right. Let's talk about Mikey Santerstil, the corner from Michigan. So how good is he going to be? He's really good. I think he's really, really good. Well, first of all, he's a nickelback.

He played nickelback at Michigan. Yep. Keep in mind, I'm learning about these guys just as we do these film breakdowns. Everyone probably knows these things. You probably know these things, but I think it's interesting that he played wide receiver of Michigan for three seasons. Yep. Have some catches.

Got hands. Got hands for DB. Oh, he has hands. So, 5-9-182, not a big dude. We're at 4-47-40. 40-inch vertical. More importantly, let's get to football. He's a guy that played nickelback.

He reminds me of like, gosh, dang it. He was the guy from Mississippi State that played for the Raiders. It was really good. Came out of Mississippi State played Nickelback. Not the same as far as physicality, but who is that dude? He was a second round draft pick. Oh. He was a second round draft pick for us.

No, no. He was not for us. Oh. I'll look it up. I don't know who you're talking about. You'll have to figure it out. It reminds me a little bit of that. When did he get drafted?

It would have been like six years ago. Okay. Go ahead. Something like that. I'll find it. All right. So he plays outside on occasion. He doesn't come off the field, so he'll end up playing outside if they're in a two-receiver set.

He plays inside if they're in a three- or four receiver set. And he plays nickelback. He's an awesome athlete. He's got great feet. He's got great hips. To me, he's a really smart zone cover guy. He does a very good job getting depth in his drops as his own cover guy. He reads the eyes of the quarterback very well.

He's capable and able and does drive on the football, makes plays driving on the football. makes plays driving on the football. I think he does an excellent job finding the ball in coverage. Balls thrown down the field, and you do see, even with the nickel players, especially in college, a lot of those vertical themes from inside, like what you call number two, running that widened fade, which they run now instead of a corner because it's some easier throw. He does a really good job playing the ball.

A lot of times you think maybe turn around a little bit earlier, find the ball a little earlier, but when he doesn't find the ball earlier, He does an exceptional job with keeping his hands out the receiver, keying eyes of the receiver, and then going up and trying to play the ball when he keys eyes of the receiver. He's not a PI guy. To me, he's well-trained. He's technically very good in terms of going in an attack and a receiver

and meeting them with a good timing for the ball to be there. He got great hands. Had six interceptions, two of them pick-sixes, almost had a third pick-six against the turps. Yeah. You probably remember it. elbow touchdown. It looked like he rolled over. Yeah, I think he had two picks in that game.

But he did have two picks in that game. He had a pick from outside as well in that game. The thing I really like, and I love his coverage stuff, it's mostly the most important aspect of it. But he's a really good tackler, Kevin. He's a consistent tackler. I'm not saying that he has a mistackles or he can't go find some mistackles. But to me, he squares up his hips to the back

or to the receiver or the ball carry. well. He can be very physical as well. You watch him play Ohio State and he had a couple big time hits. He hit their back, Trigger at Henderson, it just knocked him out, man. So I see him as a physical

player, and he finds the ball really well. He tracks the ball, finds the ball, gets off blocks, and is capable of making a ton of tackles because he's getting to the football a lot. He's a zero-quit guy. He was a big-time blitz.

guy at Form of Michigan, they had a ton of blitzes that came off the edge. I actually like this when I was watching one of the games. The commentator said he's like a wisp of smoke. He's just really hard to keep track of. Right. Yeah. A smart player sees screens really well, and pick-sick, you pick-six against Rutgers on a screen. But overall, like, you look at the positive of this guy, and I just, he's what Scott McLuhan would call a football player. Right. And he's a football player. oh, Mikey Sandstrill is absolutely a football player. I was super impressed. You go to talk about some of the concerns.

The number one thing to read coming up, and I see it is his ability to play man coverage and his ability to play press and then run and play man coverage. Then you're like, what are they drafting? Are they a man-coverage defense? Is Dan Quinn a man-coverage defense? or is he a three-deep zone defense that demands the high-level nickel. Right.

Who's going to play a ton of zone drops and ton of zone stuff. Oh, yeah, they're drafting a guy that fits them exactly. I think he's exactly what they want. Other concerns, be over-aggressive in terms of attacking receivers, attacking route stuff. Double moves would be a problem, potentially. Receivered, like double moves. and ends up being a problem. And at times, you see him taking risks.

A lot of times he's getting away with him, though. And when I got a guy that's getting away with taking some risk, jumping balls, trying to make plays a little bit early, but he's a guy that's making picks and making plays, breaking things up. By the way, he's also got two batted ball picks. He's got the force fumble. I'm okay. The risk-reward on some of that stuff is big-time.

So, honestly, I look at this dude, and I think he's a big-time football player for him. I think he's going to be really helpful. you're taking a nickel. The other thing is, he's going to fall in the second round. It might be the best corner, but he's going to fall in the second round

because he's only played cornerback for two seasons, and he's playing more interior stuff. Well, shoot, your NFL offense is predominantly 11 personnel, or you're in a nickel personnel more times than not. So it's going to be on the field, 70% of snaps just based on if he's your nickel or you're in a dime, you'd also have him out there. I think it's a big time pickball.

You did, did you read or did I even tell you what Nick Saban said about him that he was the best pound-for-pound football player in the draft? That's an easy thing to say, but someone that weighs 182 pounds. Yeah, well, that's true. Yeah. No, it's clear. That's a huge compliment for Saban, though. And it's really easy to see why Nick Saban would say that.

So much of what they have done at Alabama has been predicated on what defenses they're showing, what defense they're doing, what your nickel guy is, what your backside linebacker is. They're trying to dictate sides, and I'm sure Sanstrel made that hell for them. He's probably their number one game plan issue. I mean, he can't play anywhere, but the inside, right. I mean, he can't play on the outside. He's just too tiny, right? It's debatable.

I think it would depend on what your matchup is. Like, if you went into a week and said, hey, look, we like Stancheril outside versus smaller dude, if they're going to put him out there, I think so. It's really crazy, though. You think, like, you got a six-four-four-old. receiver and he'll just go get it every time. I'll jump anyone that's 5-8, but that's not always the way it works out.

Preferably, I would want him inside. I think there's a massive need for them inside. I mean, I just think you get a really versatile dude. I think you get a guy that you can play all the field. I see him, you don't match up with anybody on the inside. I see it all

bring pressure. You know, the other thing about his, the nickel blitz stuff and why he makes a quarterback make quick decisions is because he's able to avoid past protectors, especially backs. There's a lot of times, man, those nickel guys can't rush. They can rush if they're unblocked, but they're really bad at avoiding blockers in the pass rush. They don't practice it. They don't have pass rush moves. They're just looking for speed off the edge. Sanders still has some good hips and good movement when it comes off the edge.

So he's actually pretty tricky to block. He gets blocked often. The other thing he really does, I like this a lot. Wait, did you say he gets blocked often or he doesn't get blocked off? He does not. No, no. Well, he gets blocked often. He gets attempted.

It's not like he's just got a bunch of free rushes. They're attempting to block him off. He's elusive. So he evades the block often as well. I can see where I was confusing there. It makes no sense. I hope it does now. With moves or with speed?

Is he just tricky? Yeah, he's just hard to block. He's hard to block in space as well. Like he's really good for a little guy. He's really good at shedding blocks. Getting off blocks. Playing around blocks. He can play through him.

He's got to go low. Did they do the right thing moving him to defense? We'll never know. What were you going to say? The other thing, what? Oh, the other thing I like, situationally, I think he's really aware. Like when he makes an attempt to make a diving tackle, like, third and three, and he understands where the sticks are.

And he's going to take a shot. Like, let's get him down here. And he'll go low, take a diving shot. I think situationally, he's really, really smart. So he has in the past game as well. He knows when you're taking shots. He knows when you're throwing a five-yard hitch or when you're throwing an eight-yard spot route based on down-and-distance. I think he sees things really well.

I think he has a great understanding of football. He's going to be a good player. I'm sure the Mikey Sanders still is going to be a good football player. Worth a second-round traffic. I'm sure of it. All right. Do you want to stay defense and do Johnny Newton next? would you like to take one of the two offensive players I asked you to do, Coleman or McCaffrey?

I think you will make that decision for me. All right. We'll do Johnny Newton, the other defensive player they picked in the second round, right after these words from a few of our sponsors.

This time, Johnny Newton, their second round pick, their first second round pick, the defensive tackle from Illinois, who Cooley, I don't know if I told you this, if you didn't know this already, he's having surgery. I think this week, or maybe it was late last week,

on with another foot injury. It's the other foot that he didn't injure in college. Well, he injured in college, but he's getting it three, two, one. We continue with Cooley and his film breakdown of Johnny Newton, who did I tell you that he's got to have surgery? Did you know that? I was unaware, completely unaware. So Johnny Newton will,

have surgery maybe this week on his left foot. It's the same injury he had on his right foot. It's called a partial Jones fracture. And to be honest with you, there isn't a whole hell of a lot of information on, you know, this injury other than most players typically fully recover from it. he recovered from the one on his left foot. Now he's having the surgery on his right foot.

And he, it seems like, we'll be ready for training camp, but they certainly weren't definitive about that. But anyway, what did you think of the player? Well, hold on. Yeah. But you don't know anything about a Jones fracture? What do you mean? I don't know anything about a Jones fracture.

Like, what's a Jones fracture? Oh, you're asking me what a Jones fracture is? How long is he going to be out for? They were asked about it the other day They didn't give a real answer They just said we're glad that we got it done We're glad that we saw it and we're getting it done now So that it didn't happen in August or September

So it kind of meant, I guess, That they think he'll be back and ready to go He had the same injury and the same surgery At Illinois on his other foot It's a fracture Do you know what it is? Well, I'm looking at it right now These things

Interest you It's like the joint that connects your Fist metatarsal Your pinky toe Yeah Would your first metatarsal I broke my fist metatarsal In college

You did? Yeah I missed 12 days Okay But you didn't have to have surgery Did you? No

You broke your How long is this? You broke your little toe is what you're saying. Your pinky toe. Yeah, fifth metatarsal. Is your first metatarsal, your big toe?

I would assume so. Me too. Is your big toe a metatarsal? Or is it... I didn't know a metatarsal was a toe until your description of it. Yeah, well, it's got to be a metatarsal.

Your pinky toe is your fifth. Yeah. I mean, that's the only thing that makes sense. Well, The Jones fracture... Yep, number one. The Jones fracture is the fracture of the bone on the pinky toe side of your foot,

the fifth metatarsal bone. Well, there's lots of different parts of that. There's lots of different bones. Okay, so you get really interested in these injuries, and I can appreciate that because I like some of this discussion, too, but where are you going with this? I don't know when he'll be back. He's having surgery on it.

he was unsure of when he heard his right foot yes he thought it may have occurred during the middle of the season right and then how did they miss that at the combine I'm wondering I I I was interested to know whether or not because he was a projected mid to late first rounder and Washington got him at 36 in the second round

and he was clearly the highest rated player on their board because they drafted a defensive tackle with John Allen and Duran Payne on their team. So clearly this was a pick where highest player on our board, and they acted like they were thrilled. They couldn't believe he was still there. I'm wondering if maybe they missed the right foot injury and other teams knew it. I don't know. Dan Quinn said this.

I'm reading this article. So Newton on draft, on the night he was drafted, that said, I'm fully healed now. I'm fully ready to go. The injury happened mid-season, got surgery on it in January, healed up, fully healed. Then I did a pro day back in Illinois,

and ever since I've been ready to go. Dan Quinn's quote was, it's just an unfortunate act that he had, and we'll get him right. Yeah. It's an unfortunate act? Well,

he... Fake health? I don't like this. at all. What don't you like about it? I was a bit curious about it as well, and I thought it was a bit suspicious that they were caught off, you know, off guard with this, caught by surprise, and I'm wondering if the reason that he fell a few spots

after he was supposed to go is because other teams knew it and Washington didn't. It's possible. I don't know, he's just a big dude and he just heard it running around. Who knows? Tell me about the player. That said, amazingly, he's got great feet. He's got great fifth metatarsal. He really does. He's got great quicks with his feet. Productive.

You know, he's a consistently productive guy. He's had seven and a half sacks this year. Four block kicks. Yeah. Illinois. Yeah. I love a dude that can block kicks. There's a knack to it.

There really is. There's a neck to it. I don't have that. I can never block it. Well, you have to have some height and length and be able to get up a little bit, but you're right. It doesn't have a lot of height. Yeah. 6-2.

Yeah. He's a compact 6-2, 304 pounds. He had to get down at the combine to get to be 304. They had to put him on a cleanse. He looks like he's 334 at Illinois. He's. not then. No.

First team APL American. Big Ten defensive player of the year. He did. He wrecked Wisconsin. He can wreck a game. There's no doubt about it. He can wreck a game. He can play in the backcote.

Some of the stuff I really liked about him, he's got great suddenness. He's come off the ball and quick twitch and suddenness is really, really good. He can transition quickly from speed to power. It's not as necessary go-to,

is a power rusher. By the way, he's like a three-four defensive event. And he could play nose. He can play detackle. He's played more out on the offensive tackle. They play a three-fourth.

Buddy Ryan defense. But he can play inside. He can play nose. He can rush from anywhere. But his transition is really, really good from speed to power. And I think a big part of that

is because of of how good he is with his quick hands, his quick feet, and pass-dresh moves. When you're playing against Johnny Newton on the other side of the ball, you're worried he's going to beat you right now. He's going to go one, two,

and all of a sudden you're getting swam or hand-slapped, or you're leaning forward, and he's got a bunch of different moves. And he comes off the ball very quick. Hand-fighting is excellent. When you get your hands attached the lineman punches him. He's good at hand fighting.

He's good to battling through that and getting off stuff. I think when he wants to, he can crash. Backsetter run plays really well. He plays the front setter run plays pretty well. I think the backside, when he wants to, he can show you that he can do it really well. He can play through blocks what he wants to. He can take on two in the past game when he's really going and win.

He's got great pass-rush moves. His high end is really, really high end. No one's going to say he's Erand Donald, but it's Donald like what he's trying to do. It's probably someone he watches and wants to play like. So in the negatives. I think the number one negative I see is he picks and chooses.

And there are times where you can write L-A-Z-Y. You chose. You did your job. and someone else will go do the job of tackling the ball carrier. We're chasing the guy down field. I did my job. I held my gap. I am done with my job now.

I will get ready to do my job on the next place. Somebody get him down now. Somebody get him down. It's not that he can't run down the line scrimmage to make a play. It's not that he can't chase ball carrier. It's not that he doesn't do that. He just picks and chooses. So he's the guy that you want to make sure is always going.

You gotta make sure he's always rolling or have him out. His pad level's not very good. He plays upright and he plays high. And I think a big part of that is he always wants to come off and immediately handfight or swat or swim or use moves. Instead of what is like Geron Payne and Jonathan Allen is come off low, hard hand drive into the chest, hat under hat.

They're different styles. He reminds me of almost like Tim who's the Virginia Tech to tackle? Tim that would be drafted the second round. Oh, that ended up playing in Buffalo. Yeah, Tim Settle. Tim Settle. Tim Settle.

Yeah, he's a better athlete than Tim Settle. But some of the stuff coming off the ball that reminds me a little subtle. He'll play around blocks as well, which is you can't get away with him in the NFL. As much his own run as you can see, you can't play behind a block on the backsetter run place.

You can't play around the block on the front side or on place. And he's late a lot of times at getting off a block. The timing of it is late. And again, I think that it's more because he's not a hard hand-strike guy. He's a hand-fight guy or a move guy. So you get your hands on him, you can move him. He's not a guy that's going to get driven back. But if he's a guy that doesn't win in the first step,

he's a guy that can get stale-made or moved a little bit or double. double team this line. I really like Johnny Newton. You do. I do. I do. I do. I see, I do. I see like enough big time. Yeah, coach, I know about those 13 plays that you're putting on the film. I see him. I got it. I know. But what about the 13 best plays I made? What about those ones? And then what about the rest of the game that I played pretty well? I'm like, yeah, Johnny, we're just trying to get everyone to play hard all the time. We need you to be a great example here, but no place off.

That's your biggest concern. What's surprising about that is that the history of the 49ers drafts with Adam Peters in that organization and what he and Quinn have emphasized since they've gotten here is they're just looking for a certain kind of player trait, which is fast, physical, high motor, high energy, and you're suggesting the motor's high sometimes, but sometimes it's not. Yeah, he's got an on-off switch. Yeah.

He is fast. He is a great athlete. I don't think he did anything in the combine. I don't think his 40 speed is going to be high-end. Well, it's because he was still injured. Yeah. I wonder what his 40 would be. 5-1. He didn't run a 40 at any point. Pro day?

You're not fast. Why would you run a 40? At a point in showing everyone, you're not 40-yard fast. Running a 5-2 or worse. He just don't run it. Yeah, he didn't do any on-field work, combine or pro-day. His quicks are good, though. He's what?

His short shuttle would be good. I said his quicks are good. No, honestly, I think he's a great pick. He's going to be around a couple defensive tackles that will not accept anything. like go all the time anyway. Right. I think it'll be a really good fit for him.

And I think it'll be a good change-up. And it's interesting that we look at the three of them. John Allen's a, he is a consistent hand strike, control my gap, battle low pad level. And then you get drunk pain, and

he's got all that in him. And he's in Alabama detackle, so it's obvious that's the other coach, but he's got a little one, too. and some quick feet, and he can slide by blocks quick and play in the back both quicker. And then now you add Newton, who's like more of what the pain side of it is. Why do I need to go through this guy when I can just go around it and beat him? And I like all three. I have a huge amount of respect for all three of those things,

and there's no absolute right and absolute wrong. You know, it's just the Newton side of it. If you pick wrong, you're getting beat. You're in trouble. I just think there's a couple concerns, but I think there's so much positive to him. I think there's so much upside to him. As long as he doesn't have any more Jones fractures. Yeah.

When those Joneses aren't fractured, he's got good feet. Plant on that fifth metarcial, and he can really get lateral movement. All right, so the two players we've done, Mikey Sanry Still and Johnny Newton, You like both of those players? You feel like second round good spots for them? Yeah, I think Johnny Newton might have been high, but that's the guy they liked. I mean, that was, for whatever reason, that was their number one guy, you know, after the quarterback. It seemed like it.

It seemed like that was their reaction. That was the type of player that they wanted. I think it was just that he was so high on their board, and they were surprised that he got to them, and they weren't going to pass him up to pick for. need, which is the right way to do it, in my opinion. I don't think that, I mean, based on what Adam Peter said, they never anticipated that he would be there at 36. They were hoping when the second round began, and that was their guy when the second round

began. But they certainly didn't go into this draft thinking that at 36 they were going to get Johnny Newton, at least according to them. You never know. I think most people had a first or second. round grade on him. I think it was pretty common that he had a second round grade placed on him in a lot of places. He was mostly late first. But, you know, Washington tried to trade back into the first round, and they were unsuccessful for an offensive lineman. So they ended up sticking with 36 and then traded their

other pick to pick up the two from Philadelphia, because the Eagles ended up taking, um, Cooper de Gene, the corner, with Washington's number 40 overall. And Washington picked up 50 and 53, I think it was, and it got Senate and San Francisco. Okay, so good players. We'll play in the NFL. You feel good about both of those players. I feel really good about the cornerback. I feel good about Johnny Newton.

I just think that there's more unknown. Okay. All right. It doesn't mean it's not going to be great. So on tomorrow's show, you will do the two offensive players that you haven't done. You'll do Brandon Coleman, the offensive lineman from TCU, who a lot of people have high hopes for, and then the receiver, Luke McCaffrey. So we'll do that tomorrow, even though we're actually going to record both of those right now. But people understand that I am away.

And we are doing this in advance. There you go. So stay tuned. Coolie tomorrow. We'll have Coleman and Luke McCaffrey. Thanks, bud. Thanks. I'll talk you soon.

Yes, very soon. But those of you who are listening won't hear the next part until tomorrow. So more Cooley film breakdown tomorrow of Luke McCaffrey and Brandon Coleman.
