00:00My friend Marcus Washington, very interesting character, college football player, does a
00:06lot of great work with the Washington Jesuit Academy, something that we support here on
00:11the B. Mitch and Finley program, but Marcus is also a psycho about the NFL draft, and
00:19I mean, hello Marcus, how do you do, sir?
00:22I'm doing great, how you doing JP, how you doing B. Mitch?
00:25Doing good brother, how you feeling?
00:27I'm excited, I'm excited, favorite time of the year.
00:29I know it is, because is it fair to call you a psycho about the draft?
00:34Is that too strong of a term?
00:36No, I think it's accurate.
00:38Yep, always been this way.
00:40I love it, man.
00:42So, we get to this stage, now, I know two years ago, you nailed the Mikey Sammer still pick
00:52from Adam Peters.
00:54And then, I believe last year, you got one of the fifth rounders right.
00:59I remember the Sammer still one specifically, but I can't remember which one you got last
01:04year, but I'm almost positive you did.
01:08I'm trying to remember.
01:09No, actually, I think I failed last year, JP.
01:11I think I failed.
01:12I got it in my heart, but I didn't get it in reality.
01:14It's an impossible task.
01:16So, let's start.
01:20The commander's currently 771, 147, 187, 209, 223.
01:26Brian, have you mocked out your seventh round for the coming?
01:31I struggle to mock out my first seven picks.
01:34Marcus' crazy ass has mocked it all the way to the end.
01:36And look, all I had was six of them to get for you, Marcus, because I know who number one
01:41is.
01:43Yeah, I got them all.
01:44I'm going to nail them all this year.
01:45I'm confident.
01:46So, do you want to give us your one through seven to build up to seven, and then we'll
01:52go on the deep cuts, and you can tell us who they're going to draft at 209?
01:56That's going to be hard, the one through seven.
01:58I got Mendoza, Reese, Bailey, Love.
02:05I don't have the Giants all the way down, but I think they're taking Sonny Stiles, and
02:11I think Cleveland trades out of number six is what I'm predicting.
02:16And I don't know who's coming up, but I think Cleveland trades out, probably with Dallas.
02:19All right.
02:20So, who do you have the commanders taking at seven?
02:23So, I've been on this since before free agency, and everybody got mad at me, and now everybody's
02:30coming around to it, but since before free agency, the pick to me has always been Mansoor
02:33Delaney, and it's obvious to me.
02:37Wow.
02:38Mansoor Delaney.
02:39All right.
02:40Silver Spring kid.
02:42Did you know him at all growing up?
02:44I didn't know him.
02:45I know some people that coached him and played with him, but he's a phenomenal corner.
02:49You got a chance to get a number one corner and a lockdown corner.
02:52Cost-controlled asset.
02:53You have to go and do it.
02:55And I think Love will be off the board, and I think Stiles will be off the board, and I
02:59think
02:59we take Mansoor Delaney.
03:01Okay.
03:01Mansoor Delaney is the pick at seven.
03:04Who do you have as your top wide receiver in this class, by the way, Marcus?
03:08I don't like the wide receivers in this class.
03:12You've got to give it to Carnell Tate, but I do like Jordan Tyson's film better than Carnell
03:16Tate.
03:17I do like Omar Cooper Jr., though, and he's somebody I said if that Jets trade were true at 16,
03:24I
03:24think we might target him.
03:26I've been hearing about that.
03:27Cooper did.
03:28Yeah, I mean, I like Lemon, too.
03:31I don't know that he gets to 16, but I'm with you.
03:34I got just question marks about the receivers.
03:36I like Delaney.
03:37I like that pick.
03:38All right, now it's time to get nuts with Marcus Washington.
03:40This is what you do best, sir.
03:42Okay.
03:4371.
03:44Where are we going?
03:45Yep.
03:47I wanted to go to the end here, but we had to get Jaden some weapons and then trying
03:51to go through all the wide receivers.
03:53Ted Hurst!
03:54No, Ted Hurst is going to be gone.
03:56I would love to get Ted Hurst if he were there.
03:58But I think everybody wants Ted Hurst.
04:00I think he goes late second.
04:01So, in this case, with the 71st pick out of Ole Miss, we're taking DeZon Strickland.
04:08He's a 4-3-6 guy.
04:096-2, 2-0-7, 9.54 raw score.
04:13Wow.
04:15What was the speed?
04:17He ran a 4-3-6.
04:19He's a deep threat.
04:20That's scooting.
04:21Yes, he is.
04:226-2, two bills.
04:23So, he's not too, too skinny.
04:254-3 speed.
04:26Damn.
04:27All right.
04:27There's a receiver, B.
04:28All right.
04:30Okay.
04:31All right.
04:31Now, there's no fourth-rounder.
04:33So, we jump ahead to Saturday afternoon, the seventh pick in the fifth round, number 147.
04:40At 147, we're taking center Matt Goldman from Michigan State.
04:46And he has position flexibility.
04:47He can be active on game days as your backup center.
04:50Can swing the guard.
04:52And that's who I think we're taking in the fifth round.
04:54Can Matt Goldman compete for that job right away?
04:58I think he can, but I think if Nick Allen-Gretty is going to, I think he's just going to
05:03be
05:03our starting center.
05:04But I think a year from now, he'll be our starting center.
05:06Matt Goldman will be our starting center.
05:07Okay.
05:08I think it would be wise to draft someone that can help you there, even if it's a depth
05:13piece for now.
05:14Yeah.
05:15Absolutely.
05:15I think we have to.
05:16We move ahead to the sixth round, the sixth pick in the sixth round, number 187.
05:21Where's Washington going?
05:25I feel strongly, and I felt this way last year, that we have to draft a kicker.
05:30And in this case, it's Trace Smack from Florida, 187.
05:34Think about the jerseys they could sell with Smack on the back.
05:39Number 187.
05:40Now, AP has been part of front offices that have drafted kickers.
05:44Trace Smack.
05:45Trace Smack.
05:47That's an all-time name.
05:48That much.
05:49Wait, wait, where are you from?
05:51He's from Florida.
05:52All right, cool.
05:53Gators, right?
05:54Yeah, Florida Gators.
05:55Yep.
05:55Number one kicker on the board.
05:57Doesn't FSU have one, too?
06:00They do.
06:01There are three kickers that are draftable, but Trace Smack is widely considered the best
06:05one.
06:06Oh, and he's a Severna Park, Maryland native.
06:09Hmm.
06:11Is he a distance guy?
06:13Can I send him out there from 60?
06:16Yep.
06:16Yep.
06:17He's a strong leg.
06:18Really, really strong leg.
06:19And to me, if you want to solve your kicker problem, you're going to have to draft it.
06:22We've been going through kickers for many, many years.
06:24And I went to Tyler Lute last year, and then the Ravens got him in the sixth round.
06:27And we need to take Trace Smack.
06:30I'm not mad at that.
06:33We're staying in the sixth round, Marcus.
06:35Number 209.
06:36This pick was acquired from the San Francisco 49ers, I believe, in exchange for Brian Robinson.
06:41Yep.
06:42That's it.
06:43Yep.
06:43So at 209, we're going to take linebacker Jack Kelly out of BYU.
06:48He's 6'1", 240.
06:50He has the fourth-ranked raw score.
06:53And look at him as Leo Chanel-lite, just somebody that can come in to help you on special teams,
06:57do a little bit of pass rushing for you, kind of play all over, and just mostly be a special
07:01teamer.
07:02I'm also friends with a guy named Jack Kelly, so if that has any relevance.
07:06I like it.
07:08Can he play golf?
07:09You've played with him.
07:10I know.
07:11I'm saying, can this guy play golf?
07:12I don't know.
07:14Now, last pick, seventh round, seventh selection in the seventh round, number 223.
07:21How does Washington end this thing?
07:24We end it with a D-tackle from Texas Tech, Skylar Gale Howard, who will be our backup three
07:31technique.
07:32Passed off the ball, can disrupt it, and hopefully he'll be our bill for this year.
07:38Skylar Gale Howard.
07:40If they can get another bill in the seventh round, that would have huge value.
07:46All right.
07:46Marcus Washington official at seven.
07:50Mansoor Delane, cornerback out of LSU, Silver Spring native.
07:53Can you give me the young man from Ole Miss name again?
07:57DeZon Shriveling, out of Ole Miss.
07:59Okay.
08:00A receiver out of Ole Miss.
08:02DeZon.
08:03With serious speed.
08:06In the fifth round, Matt Goldman sent her out of Michigan State, rather.
08:10Yep.
08:11Sixth round, you're getting a kicker.
08:13Trey Smack, all-time name, from the Gators.
08:17Then a linebacker from BYU and Jack Kelly.
08:20And to round it out, a D-tackle from Texas Tech.
08:23Lubbock to Ashburn, Skylar Gale Howard.
08:26All right, Marcus.
08:26I'll be keeping track, man.
08:28All right.
08:29Appreciate you all.
08:30Thanks for having me on.
08:31Appreciate you, buddy.
08:31Bye-bye.
08:32Bye-bye.
