 Welcome back, end of night two for us. Really excited to add the players that we added. Starting with Roger, obviously really high on him, good cover skills, covered a lot of good guys in the SEC. Nick at Ohio State played both sides, left and right. Long athletic spent a lot of time with here on the visit and then wrapped it up with Malik there. He was the best player on the board and excited to add him to the team. Well, that would open up for questions. Why was it important to move up a couple spots? I mean, how worried were you there that you had to do that? Well, you just never know what's going to go on behind you. He was the best player on our board with a couple picks out. You're looking at the teams that are ahead of you, but you're also looking and being cognizant of the teams that are behind you and the potential for somebody to come up or a team in the fourth to come back in to the third there. He's potential and what do you think about where he is right now? The quarterback, good arm, athletic, moves around well, got a really good skill set, throws a good ball, he's tough to tackle. He's got a lot of work to do, obviously, like all these rookies do, but excited to add him to the team and let him compete. What's it say? You mentioned he's got a lot of work to do. Is there one or two areas in particular? Well, it's just, I mean, you're learning a new offense. You're coming in and all these guys, whatever position they play, they're learning new terminology, they're learning new things. So how quickly he gets acclimated to that and we'll probably determine how quickly he progresses. We're excited. The Malik to the quarterback room with Kevin and Woody and obviously, Ryan, we're really just excited about being able to develop young players and see what happens. I don't think anybody's going to be able to talk about anybody's future tonight. I think we're just excited to be able to get these three players where we got them, guys that we've met about and talked about, so we're excited. Malik was a guy, did you ever think he would be able to get that guy in the third round? As it started to kind of go on, I had my doubts. I thought some teams might look at it like us and like, here's a good football player who has got a lot of good traits and things to work with and develop. And then as it got even closer and closer, it became a little bit more apparent, like we got a shot here. Mike, with Malik and his skill set, obviously you need to see him here, but potential maybe to work him into a package or two? Well, I think that there's a lot of things that we can do with different skill players, Teresa. So when we look and we talk and watching his tape, he's a tough tackle. Obviously there's a lot of things that we're going to have to work with and develop it. Our coaches are excited and I know Malik's ready to get here and get to work. But I think it's just too soon to talk about certain packages, and we've done that in the past. And we'll try to do and put the best players out there to give us a chance to win. What about Nicholas's skill set and he's kind of a unique personality as well? Yeah, extremely intelligent. I like the fact that he's played a couple of different spots and he's played a couple of different spots in game. You can see him, he's kicked over to the right side, kicked over to the left side in a game. And that's sometimes a tough transition for players to do that. And I thought he did it pretty well, like his length and like the way he competes. And obviously played at a really good school. Kudos. Really good, no. And in a great conference and for a great coaching staff. Mike, does he make Dylan more likely now to be guard? No, I don't think we've had those conversations. I think that Nick does have flexibilities, got some versatility. He's played a lot of snaps in the Big 10. Very familiar with the program that he's coming from. He's got a really good frame, great build. We'll figure out here where guys start to go. We haven't even been out on the field yet. With Roger, what does he give you from a trade standpoint? He covers his guy. I know when you press play, he's close to his guy and he's competitive, no nonsense. Came in, sat down, talked. I mean, every tape that we watched, he was close to his guy. They all get beat. But it was fun watching him in that Alabama game. And those guys got drafted high. So he was covering them pretty well. You mentioned, I think the other day, that if you're going to draft a guy at a position, I think you said it in reference to maybe even quarterback, that you might talk to the guy that's here first. Did you have any kind of a conversation with Ryan before taking a leak there? No, I mean, when you get the third round, like we got to, it was the best player on our board, like we said. And felt the value was there to add a player at that position. And really all of these guys, we're excited about the competition. Roger, Nick, Traylon, the competition that they're going to add and infuse into their position groups. Talking about him as a third round pick, sounds like it's different than if he was a first or second round pick in terms of what you're forecasting for him. I mean, you envision him as the starter of the future? Or is that less the predetermined case based on his draft slot? Well, I think his role will be determined by how quickly he comes in here and learns the offense and improves and gains the respect of his teammates. No different than any other player. They're going to earn opportunities. But again, he was a player that was just kind of staring at us there. And we were excited that when we were able to get up and get him and not get jumped or somebody was coming up. Three years in a row, you've drafted a cornerback first or second round. Is that one of those positions that it's harder to find quality later in the draft? They went pretty quick. Dave, after we took Roger, that was a position group that started to get picked pretty quickly. You see the receivers that are in this league. You better have guys that can kind of match and cover them. And Roger was great. He was great on the interview. He liked cereal and bologna sandwiches and baked beans. So a simple guide. He was like, I'm trying to cover my guy coach and don't let him catch it. And when they throw it to him, I tackle him. So that's like, you got the job description now pretty good, Roger. Lee, how did that interview process go? Because the worst thing said, like he didn't interview well, how did that go for you guys? Oh, I think, I mean, he came across good. He was well-spoken, was engaging, easy to talk to. I just got off the phone with him a while ago. He's deeply rooted in his faith. His family got together and prayed and thanked the Lord for the opportunity to come here, which I thought that was pretty cool. So he was good with us. He talked last week in terms of quarterbacks a lot about leadership. How do you go about evaluating that? What did you see from the league in that regard? Yeah, I think it's the teammates and how they respond to that player. And I think you saw guys rally and playing hard when he had the ball in his hands and trying to block guys to free him up and excited when he would make a big throw. So he knows he's got to come in here and earn the respect of new teammates. And that was one of the top of his to-do lists when I spoke to him. At the cornerback spot, if I assume that Farley is healthy, you've got Farley, Fulton, McCreary. Do they all get on the field in some ways together? Is that what you guys? We'll see how it shakes out. I mean, you can't have enough of them. We saw that last year when we went through 91 different players. So you can never have enough good players that we think can go out there and compete and play at a winning level. Mike, when you've got corners that have different skill sets and that have experiences that give you more flexibility, can you get a weekend and week-out determining match-ups? Well, obviously, if you could play man coverage every single snap and not get picked and rubbed, you would. And so I think the guys that we're starting to get now, we hope that we can continue to play some more man, mix in the zone. They've all played inside, except for me and Caleb. And they're all really, really improving. And I know that this is going to be a great opportunity for us to add competition, like John said, but also, man, you got some match-ups. You guys have different skill sets that Caleb's a little longer and Christian's maybe a little bit more seasoned, a little more versatile. And then Roger really excelled at that role, man coverage last year. When it comes in and grows, matures the way you guys envision a year from now, what do you imagine for it? Well, yeah, I don't know. I can't predict the future, but I know right now we're excited to get him and these other guys that we drafted, the guys that we're going to pick up tomorrow and sign the post draft and let them come in here for rookie camp and compete and then transition them over into with the vets, get them to know their teammates, and I hope they all grow and improve and develop into contributors here for the team. John, as he said, for most guys, you'd say you want them to compete for a starting role. Would you expect them to compete for a starting role? Again, like I said, I think that's up to the player and how quickly they come in here and learn the system, gain the respect of their teammates, and they'll determine how quickly they move up and compete for whatever role it may be. Our four quarter-bats. We want them all to compete for starting roles. I think that would be the idea. I think that everybody wants the corner office, everybody wants to live on the top floor. And so that's what you're trying to do in professional sports. Are four quarter-bats too many to get work for throughout the off-season? Well, we've tried to do a lot of two-spot stuff and we're gonna have to evaluate that and see if we can get everybody enough work. But hopefully in the off-season and some of the stuff that we're doing, we can two-spot it and make sure that we got two groups working at the same time. John, you mentioned Nick's swing tackle versatility. Can he also play inside or do you maybe see more of interchangeable attitude? Yeah, I think when we get those guys in here, we move them around. And like I said, when I spoke the last time, it's about getting the right five, getting the combination of the best five guys up there and whatever combination that is. I think he's probably a little more versed at tackle. But it doesn't mean he can't play guard. Nate Davis was a tackle at Charlotte who moved in to guard. So. You just gotta project ahead, John. I mean, what's the board look like now? Maybe one of some areas just feel like you still need to tackle. Well, I don't know what's loud. I think we don't know if the rounds ended up here. So we'll see kind of, we'll take stock in the morning and start to kind of see where we're at and who's left. And there's still some players that we certainly like at certain positions. And we'll try to get ourselves in position to get as many of them as we can. I know you want everybody to be versatile. He's more than a little bit more versed at tackle. He didn't play only tackle spots. He's played both tackle spots. But no dog. No, but I'm saying like you can work those guys at guard. Like that just because they're at tackle, like Nate was a tackle, we've moved him to guard. So, again, I think he would probably work at tackle and we'll see if he works at guard. Does that selection have any bearing on Dylan Rayden tonight? I know he's working left guard because he's working tackle. Does that have any bearing on where you guys are doing? I don't think we're going to go into projections. We're going to start next week with the guys that'll be here with a lot of individual work because that's what the rules are. And I think it's great. I would advocate for as much phase two work as we could possibly get because that's where you improve. That's where you make strides. That's where you learn your craft and are able to play in a manner that hopefully is safe and keeps you healthy and helps the team win. So that's where we're going to start. And if you're a guard or a tackle on the right side, you're going to be in a right-handed stance and you're going to be making the same movements. You're going to be coming off the ball. And if you're on the left side, so right now for the next three weeks, we're going to be working skills and we're not going to be working against each other. They're not going to be having to block anybody. So we'll go through that process. And once we get closer to where we have to compete and block somebody, then we're going to try to find a lineup and then allow them to compete. When you talked to my league, how emotional was that call? It's been a pretty rough 24 hours for him, the way he did it. Yeah, it started off kind of quiet. And then once I think it kind of set in that he was a professional football player, you could hear the elation in the background. He had a lot of family and friends there that were hooping and hollering pretty good. It's a cool moment for me to have those conversations with those guys when they pick up on the other end of the line and say hello. And you deliver that news to them. The aftermath of what happens is a really special moment. We have your rookie camp next weekend that we can follow. The weekend for my team.
