00:00Could the Cowboys actually improve their offense in the draft?
00:04Let's talk about it here in Below the Belt, which is sponsored by Window Nation.
00:09What is the earliest, like without knowing what the position is or anything else,
00:13what's the earliest they could use a pick on an offensive player where you wouldn't melt down?
00:17Fourth. Fourth round?
00:21Well, not the fourth pick. They don't have that one.
00:22Fourth round of 12th.
00:25What position would you be okay with them taking on offensive 12th? Offensive line?
00:28Yeah. But nothing else.
00:32If Tate is available or if Tate is as good as advertised and he's available,
00:38and that opens up an opportunity to move on, to pick up a first for pickings,
00:45I'd be doubting. I can understand that.
00:48It's not about, I'm still in team building mode.
00:50I'm always in team. ABB, always be building.
00:54They got, uh, not my preferred.
00:58Preferred is corners, but if that's, if it falls that way, I'm not saying anything.
01:02If the defense is completely depleted and that has pushed Francis Maui Noah,
01:06the offensive lineman from Miami down the board, then yeah,
01:08I could be talked into that potentially if I can't trade out.
01:12Because that's a good player. That's a really good, that's really good value.
01:15That's somebody who could go as high as three.
01:17I just, for, for years, people have said, uh, best player available.
01:23Don't trade away.
01:24McClay told us while we were in Indy said, said, what was it?
01:26You gave him the analogy of a seven versus an eight.
01:29Yeah.
01:29Even something that low where it's not even like a 10 versus a seven,
01:32a seven versus an eight.
01:33He said, he'd rather go the eight, even if it's not a need.
01:34You can't say never trade away from a good player or whatever.
01:40And then one is there.
01:41And then all of a sudden just say, I can't,
01:45I can't have that pick or I can't have that position.
01:48That's just me.
01:48I it's like, you know, if it's there, it's there.
01:50Well, we've got one of our first outlets that has produced a full seven round
01:54mock draft, which means we have all eight selections for the Dallas Cowboys.
01:58And then it's ESPN.
01:59It's Matt Miller's.
01:59Now you guys read the first two picks the other day on Monday, correct?
02:03You and Eric had gone over the first two.
02:04It was McCoy.
02:06And then the one I had a real problem with,
02:08which was, I'm guessing like Eric loved it.
02:11Cause I believe Eric does love him.
02:12Emmanuel McNeil Warren, the safety from Toledo was the second pick.
02:16Why would you be out on that?
02:18Just this position or the player?
02:19No, go back to last year's draft.
02:23Since NIL, you do not.
02:26And I mean, do not take G5 guys early.
02:30Do not.
02:31If they're worth a damn,
02:33they've already moved on to the big 10 or the sec.
02:36Wasn't Quinion Mitchell from Toledo?
02:39I have no idea.
02:40He was.
02:40When was he picked?
02:41Two years ago?
02:44That's early NIL.
02:45Going back to last year.
02:46Going back to last year.
02:47That would have to be one draft.
02:49Going back to last year.
02:50Three.
02:50There were three of the top 95 players taken for the group of five.
02:55Don't do it anymore.
02:57All right.
02:57Take a group of five early.
02:59Bad idea.
03:00These guys are,
03:02you want to talk about lottery tickets?
03:04That is your ultimate lottery.
03:05If they're worth it,
03:06they're already at a big school.
03:07Well, they go Jermod McCoy,
03:09the cornerback from Tennessee at 12,
03:10which I don't,
03:11I think that's just a hand me.
03:12Like that's all they have a need.
03:14Here's a player who plays that position and is a good player.
03:16Let's match them up.
03:17I don't necessarily think that that'd be somebody they would take at 12
03:20because I just think they,
03:22they want to.
03:23He looks the part.
03:24Yeah.
03:25Like brought us listening to him on Gbag yesterday.
03:27Get excited.
03:28Get excited over McCoy.
03:30Sent me down a highlight rabbit hole.
03:32And I am,
03:33I am on the fence.
03:35I am officially on the fence.
03:36He's so good.
03:37Cause he is a man.
03:38He,
03:38he,
03:38he is a damn baller.
03:40Now you had to watch that on,
03:41you had to watch those plays on beta max.
03:43Cause that was the last time that he played.
03:44Listen,
03:45I asked my,
03:46my,
03:46my,
03:47my Titans guy.
03:49And I said,
03:50what do you do with a player like this?
03:51And he says,
03:52you,
03:53you,
03:53you,
03:53you have to go by what your doctors say.
03:56Yeah.
03:56That's why it doesn't,
03:57it does not matter what we say.
03:58If a doctor has told them one thing,
04:00it doesn't matter what you hire these doctors for very specific reasons.
04:04If your doctor has said one thing as the Ravens showed us,
04:07it doesn't matter where they just go.
04:09Nope.
04:09We're trusting him.
04:10We hired this guy to make these decisions for us.
04:11We're not doctors.
04:12We vetted this person and said,
04:14you are the expert that we want to make these calls for us.
04:16And they've told us this is what it is.
04:17So yeah,
04:18I mean,
04:18they could be even comfortable that he'll be fine for like the rest of his
04:23career.
04:24But I think for them,
04:25if they're like,
04:26if there's any question about him contributing early,
04:29no,
04:30and then I think that that's how they would have to look at it is that
04:32there's just so many questions.
04:34You've never seen him play as an adult.
04:38He was,
04:38I mean,
04:39technically you have,
04:39but he was a teenager.
04:40He was 19 when he played,
04:41like you've never seen him play.
04:42You haven't seen a place since he was 19.
04:44It's been two years,
04:45basically since he stepped on a football field.
04:47That's a lot to say.
04:49I'm going to take my biggest piece of draft capital and devote it to that
04:52question,
04:53especially coming off of Savone revel,
04:55where you felt like you got to steal,
04:56you got to deal in Savone revel.
04:57And then he went out there and it's like,
04:59yeah,
04:59this is what of rebel balls this year.
05:02Let's say McCoy.
05:04Let's say McCoy is available next year.
05:07After rebel balls this year.
05:09Does that change your mind on the thinking on McCoy?
05:11Well,
05:11it changes my mind that I just wouldn't feel I need a corner as much.
05:15I know.
05:16No,
05:16that's what I'm saying.
05:17I'm saying like,
05:17but I'm talking about in terms of your injury mindset.
05:19No,
05:19it doesn't change mine.
05:20Why?
05:21Revel's balling out in year two.
05:23Yeah.
05:23So like,
05:23to me,
05:24it's just like,
05:24I,
05:24I don't know what you're going to be when you come back.
05:27I would have been opposed to taking revel.
05:29Revel was by a lot of estimations.
05:31People thought he was a first round talent.
05:33Like he had that kind of ability.
05:34I was completely opposed to the idea of taking Savone revel in the first round.
05:37I was worried about taking him in the second third.
05:40Give it to me.
05:41But that's the same sort of thing with McCoy.
05:43Don't want to take him in the first.
05:44Cause I just don't know.
05:46Second.
05:46I could probably be talked into third.
05:49Absolutely.
05:49That's how I look at those.
05:51Broadus thinks that training,
05:52the training camp injury to revel,
05:54like that,
05:55that's the one that,
05:56that,
05:57that got him.
05:57The one is the brace.
05:58The one,
05:58his dad broke on the G bag nation.
06:01Yeah.
06:01Which is still hilarious to me that that's how some news gets broken these
06:05days is we're talking with Savone revels dad.
06:07He's like,
06:07yeah,
06:07he's hurt by the way.
06:08He's had a,
06:09he's had a problem.
06:09He's going to be out for the next 12 weeks.
06:11Yeah,
06:12man.
06:14I guess I'll,
06:15I'll,
06:15I'll put myself out there.
06:17All right.
06:17Oh,
06:18you've been,
06:18you've been coaxed.
06:20Broadus,
06:20I'll blame you.
06:21All right.
06:21And I might,
06:22I might want to throw Brian some love after this beanbag video,
06:25Bobby put up.
06:28If all the big names are wiped out at 12.
06:33Okay.
06:34If they're all gone and we hear afterwards that they tried to trade back and
06:40could not even for 80 cents on the dollar.
06:45Miller and they pick McCoy.
06:46I think I'll come in Friday morning being okay with it.
06:50I'll be more okay with it at 20.
06:52Let's see if he falls at 20.
06:54See,
06:54let's see if he drops on there,
06:55but I'm giving the caveat that downs and styles and Bane and,
07:02and those types of guys are gone.
07:04And I tried to trade back and I couldn't.
07:09I'll be excited about watching the highlight tapes until I find out if he
07:13can run in Oxnard,
07:14which he ran yesterday.
07:16438 ran a 438.
07:17Did,
07:18did,
07:18did what?
07:19I'm sorry,
07:19real quick.
07:20Did rebel run?
07:21No,
07:22I don't think so.
07:24No,
07:25rebel was more recent.
07:26What else?
07:27Rebels had occurred the previous fall.
07:28It was September.
07:29And so it was six months later.
07:31McCoy is a year and a half past his injury.
07:33What else does a DB do at a pro day?
07:35They'll do,
07:36they'll do vertical.
07:38They'll do broad jump.
07:39He did.
07:39He tested well yesterday.
07:40He had almost an 11 foot broad jump.
07:42The vertical was 38.
07:43He had some good numbers yesterday.
07:45They'll do three cone.
07:46They'll do bench sometimes,
07:47but the big thing is also just drills.
07:49Yeah.
07:49Like the drills,
07:50you're getting a lot of cutting and stuff.
07:52Yeah.
07:53He had a couple of videos yesterday that were out that he looked okay.
07:57I mean,
07:58it didn't look like great to me,
07:59but I'm also not a scout.
08:02Yeah.
08:04It didn't look explosive to me when I was watching the drills.
08:08It's always the year after anyway.
08:09I don't know,
08:10man.
08:11It is the year after for him.
08:11Yeah,
08:12it is.
08:12It's been two years.
08:14Look,
08:14my biggest thing with him,
08:16and obviously I'll just be honest as a Tennessee fan.
08:18My biggest thing with him is not the knee.
08:21It's 2026.
08:21Not worried about knees anymore.
08:23Is it his agent?
08:24Nope.
08:24Okay.
08:24Who's his agent?
08:25David Mulgutter.
08:26Oh,
08:26it's the best in the game,
08:30baby.
08:30Not for Jerry and Steven.
08:32I'll be honest.
08:34He was clear to play.
08:37They,
08:37they were still in it at the time and decided he want to come back.
08:42That's my biggest issue.
08:44Why?
08:45Team still had a chance.
08:47Team had,
08:48they had one loss.
08:48They had,
08:49they were ahead home games ahead of them.
08:51They had winnable games.
08:53How many games did he sit out while technically clear?
08:56It was like half the year.
08:57Half the year.
08:58You know,
08:59like two lost teams got in.
09:00Right?
09:01Two lost teams got in.
09:02They had home games against Oklahoma and Vandy.
09:04They win them both.
09:04They're in.
09:06They were favored in both.
09:07Draft preservation,
09:08baby.
09:09Okay.
09:09I'm going in the first.
09:10I'm going,
09:11if I,
09:11if I'm his age,
09:12I'm putting this in his ear.
09:13Yeah.
09:13I'm playing devil's advocate.
09:14I get it.
09:15You sit out half the year.
09:16You're still going round one.
09:17You come back,
09:18you get hurt.
09:20You,
09:20you,
09:21you may,
09:21you may go in the fifth.
09:23Well,
09:23these are the game.
09:25I love the bank account.
09:28Love the bank account.
09:29This is my issue with Scoobel.
09:30You know,
09:31Scoobel didn't want to pitch to WBC because he's got all this money coming.
09:34He's going to get the money anyway.
09:35What do you mean?
09:35What do you mean?
09:36What do you mean?
09:36What do you mean?
09:36What do you mean?
09:36What do you mean?
09:38What do you mean?
09:38What do you mean?
09:40What do you mean?
09:41I'm sorry.
09:42Oh,
09:43for a wannabe Olympics.
09:44I bet if he played for a V,
09:45if he played for the Dominican,
09:47he wouldn't think that way.
09:47Cause they think it's the bigger,
09:48they think it's bigger,
09:49right?
09:50Venezuela thought it was bigger.
09:53Third round.
09:53The Cowboys take Harold Perkins linebacker from LSU.
09:56The fourth pick deny Dennis Sutton,
09:59edge rusher Penn state.
10:00If they got him in the fourth round,
10:01that's a steal.
10:01This is Matt Miller.
10:02Yeah.
10:02This is Matt Miller's mock draft at ESPN.
10:04That would be a steal.
10:04So four picks right there,
10:06all on defense.
10:07What do you need?
10:08You need nothing else.
10:09According to this mock draft,
10:10because the Cowboys,
10:12the rest of the way go offense in this mock draft in the fifth round,
10:17they take the Alabama tight end,
10:20Josh Cuevas.
10:21They've got at the end of the fifth round,
10:23jam Miller,
10:24the running back from Alabama,
10:26Cade club,
10:26Nick quarterback Clemson,
10:28who is not anybody that I'd be big on.
10:31And then chase Roberts,
10:33the wide receiver at BYU.
10:34So they would use that half their picks all day,
10:36three darts basically on the offense,
10:39which they were asked shot.
10:40He was asked about this the other day about like,
10:42Hey,
10:42have you guys,
10:43you guys still looked at anything on offense?
10:44And that's when he started talking about Guyton and some stuff.
10:46But he had said that Clayton Adams still walks into his office every day and
10:49just kind of raises his hand and goes,
10:51Hey,
10:51I'm here.
10:52Remember I'm over here too.
10:54We,
10:54we,
10:54we would like some stuff over here.
10:56And so shoddy of course is not going to forget that.
10:58He's a big offensive guy himself.
10:59But in this instance,
11:01this would be half of the picks,
11:02pretty much all your day,
11:03three capital,
11:03just throwing it against the wall,
11:05seeing what sticks on offense.
11:06Yeah.
11:06You know,
11:06not ideal,
11:07but look,
11:07the Carolina Panthers drafted every single defensive position and that didn't do
11:11anything for Matt rule.
11:12Now he's at Nebraska.
11:13Yeah.
11:13Yeah.
11:13Now he's at Nebraska.
11:15So,
11:15you know,
11:15not ideal,
11:16but if there's a deal offensively that you can't turn away from explosion,
11:22upgraded tight end.
11:23I'm not giving Jaden blue anything either.
11:26So if it's running back or tight end day three,
11:28okay,
11:29fine.
