00:00The first offensive lineman is a dead heat at plus 110
00:04between Mawaga and Freeland.
00:06The Georgia tackle has really rocketed up during this process.
00:11The NFL combine, he can really, I think, thank for that.
00:15Fano is at 6-1.
00:17I think what's interesting, and just as you try and follow
00:21the mock draft breadcrumbs, but sometimes things become
00:24a little too group-thinky here, a lot of people, Joe,
00:28and we don't have sixth overall pick odds out,
00:30but seem to not only believe Cleveland's going to go offensive line at six,
00:36but Freeland offering true franchise tackle upside
00:41could see him be the obvious pick for a team like Cleveland
00:46where Mawaga and Fano, people wonder, are these guys guards?
00:50Some people are wondering if Spencer Fano's a center.
00:53I've seen some of those conversations show.
00:55Yeah, I mean, Kevin, I mean, when you look at tackles
00:59and you look at guards, the player that can play multiple positions
01:02has better value, I think, right, especially on the NFL level
01:07when we see injuries take place and the ability to move from left tackle
01:12to right tackle or play guard or to your point center in that aspect.
01:17But if you're Cleveland and you're Arizona, here's the thing.
01:23Arizona couldn't run the football for anything last year.
01:26They had one of the worst rushing attacks.
01:28Offensive line is terrible.
01:29Cleveland, if Quinshawn Junkins comes back healthy,
01:33we know what the offense has now with Monken, right?
01:37You got to protect whoever it's going to be,
01:40whether it be Shadour or whoever wins that starting job.
01:43And the offensive line isn't a bad pick.
01:46But, you know, I feel like Cleveland does this time and time again
01:49where, you know, they're always taking the offensive defense alignment
01:53and they're never going anywhere.
01:56You know, they're stuck in neutral.
01:58At some point, they have to get star players on the offensive side of the ball.
02:04You can't just draft them in round two and three
02:07and expect them to be all pros each and every year.
02:10But right now, this year, it is good that I think Cleveland goes offensive line
02:16because, again, they want to run the football
02:19and they want to protect their quarterback.
02:21So we'll see how it plays out.
