00:00Miami Dolphins, rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas,
00:04third-round pick out of Texas Tech, lanky, speedy.
00:08He was working out with Jamar Chase and T. Higgins this offseason.
00:15Is he from Cincinnati?
00:17No, I think they were working out down here.
00:19I think they were working out down here.
00:20I think this was a local workout.
00:22Okay.
00:23I think they were all together, so that's kind of cool.
00:25I used to work out with a lot of Dolphins at Western.
00:29High School.
00:31The Chris Carter School?
00:33No, that's in Boca.
00:35I did that later on.
00:38That was at my high school.
00:39I remember that.
00:40Juan Pierre was at one time.
00:41That's the high school you went to?
00:42Yep.
00:43That was a long hike for me.
00:45Sounds like it, yeah.
00:47Yeah.
00:49You're just trying to like...
00:51The whole point was like, wasn't it like to learn how to get faster?
00:54Yes.
00:55That was like the thing Chris Carter was teaching?
01:02To get faster, you need to be fast to start with.
01:05I didn't have form when I ran.
01:09In fact, I didn't find out.
01:12Interesting point.
01:12I didn't find out until after my seventh year that I hold my breath when I run.
01:20I was doing one of those testing things.
01:22Like a free diver?
01:24Yeah.
01:25That's crazy.
01:26So I used to always wonder.
01:27I work out.
01:28In the summer, it never happened.
01:29I work out.
01:30Run, run, run, run, run.
01:31Soon as I get into camp or football or whatever, I would hold my breath when I ran.
01:37And so everybody thought I was out of shape.
01:43And then when I couldn't run fast, then I started being able to learn how to breathe and run.
01:47Sounds like you're set to go after the lobsters with the tickle stick once your arm's ready.
01:51Oh, hey.
01:53Come on.
01:53Let's do it.
01:54Can we do it?
01:55Do what?
01:55Yeah, let's do it.
01:56Let's go lobstering.
01:59Like you're getting a couple of them hogs to come home and cook.
02:03I got some recipes for lobster.
02:06You ever had fried lobster?
02:09Once.
02:09It was delicious.
02:10It's delicious.
02:11You know what I had the other day?
02:12Lobster risotto.
02:13That was really good.
02:14Oh, yeah.
02:15I've had that.
02:17I've had shrimp and lobster risotto.
02:20Real good.
02:21That is good.
02:22That is good.
02:23But I hate when people tell you it's shrimp, when they tell you it's lobster or crab,
02:27and they only put the tails in there.
02:29Like some people that do their lobster mac and cheese only put the claws in there.
02:33And I'm like, no.
02:36The ESPN, they ranked the NFL teams by their under 25 talent, under 25 years old.
02:45It says, we look at the NFL teams who are set up for future success.
02:48Big part of this is considering how much young talent is on the roster.
02:50Young talent is important for a couple of reasons.
02:52Can I guess who's number one?
02:54It could get even better.
02:55Yes, you can.
02:56I guess who's number one.
02:57Um, either Daniel, is it McDaniels or McDaniels?
03:01Teams, teams, team.
03:02You got a name.
03:03Oh, teams.
03:04Oh, teams.
03:04I thought you meant players.
03:05No, no.
03:06The team as a collective and they're under 25 talent.
03:10Uh, for, for the record, like the last few years, it says for the first time in 2022,
03:13we do not have the Houston Texans on top of the list.
03:17I would say the, uh, I would say they were definitely going to go with new England.
03:22It is new England.
03:23Yeah.
03:24New England was last year.
03:25Number seven this year.
03:27Number one, they're blue chip players.
03:28They consider Will Campbell, Christian Gonzalez, and Drake may.
03:32Yeah.
03:34Why wouldn't you?
03:34They just went to Superbowl.
03:35However, just copy in the top 10.
03:38Oh, I'll look.
03:38I'll find it.
03:39Let's see.
03:40However, I will say this, that that's all going to change next year.
03:45Do you want to know where the jets are, Vlad?
03:47Or do you want me to just keep going on the list?
03:48They should be in the top 10.
03:49Wait, says Vlad.
03:51They are in the top 10.
03:52They are in the top 10.
03:52Yeah.
03:53They, uh, they.
03:54Like number seven?
03:55They are number seven.
03:56There you go.
03:56They are number seven.
03:57I know my team.
03:58They got, uh, David Bailey and Armand Membu as their blue chip.
04:02Let me see.
04:03Let me see.
04:03Oh, because you know what?
04:04Garrett Wilson.
04:05Oh, Seattle's got to be up there too.
04:07They're pretty.
04:07Brees Hall is on the list.
04:09He's on their notable graduated players.
04:11So.
04:12Because he's 25.
04:13He's not under 25.
04:14He's not under 25.
04:16So how about Seattle?
04:17Seattle.
04:18I don't know.
04:19Seattle is.
04:20I mean, I know they got JSA.
04:21They had a lot of, a lot of their defensive linemen are old.
04:24Really?
04:25Seattle?
04:25Yeah.
04:26Yeah, but they have young secondary guys.
04:28Like Kobe, Ryan, and all of them.
04:29The MVP was.
04:30Well, MVP was Kenneth Walker.
04:32And he went to KC.
04:34He went to KC.
04:34He went to KC.
04:36Seattle is.
04:38How are they?
04:40They're eight?
04:41Did I skip them?
04:41I must have.
04:43Yeah, Seattle's eight.
04:44Okay.
04:46How about, you know who might be on there too is Carolina.
04:53Carolina is.
04:56Let's see.
04:57I got to scroll through because they all have paragraphs on everyone.
05:01Oh, 21.
05:01Oh, really?
05:02So is it only Bryce?
05:04Only Ted McMillan is their, their blue chip guy.
05:06Now here's the crazy thing.
05:07So you want to know where the dolphins are?
05:08Where?
05:10Middle of the pack?
05:11A little outside the top 10.
05:13They're 12.
05:14Oh, not bad.
05:14But here's the one that, that.
05:16Can I guess the guys then?
05:18Is it Devon HN?
05:19HN.
05:20Chop Robinson.
05:21No, no, no.
05:22Patrick Paul.
05:23Patrick Paul.
05:24Under blue chips.
05:26This is where we may have to throw this list out.
05:28Another list we have to throw out?
05:29Oh, no.
05:31Cause he's got chop Robinson or Kenneth Grant.
05:34You would have to guess.
05:35They got KG.
05:36No, Jonah.
05:38They got Jonah.
05:39They have Jonah.
05:41I told you, listen, I don't want to.
05:45I'm going to tell you guys this.
05:47And I'm going to say this.
05:51You guys, I'd been saying this since last year.
05:54How hard it is to go from right to left.
05:57Blue chip.
05:58What?
05:59I'm telling you, listen, Vlad, Tobin, I'm telling you, it is really hard to switch sides
06:08on the offensive line.
06:10Cool.
06:10Leroy.
06:11I, I, I agree with you.
06:13Look, when you speak football, I listen.
06:16If I disagree with you, it's only for entertainment purposes.
06:20But you did see Jonah play last season, correct?
06:23On the left side.
06:25So what makes us believe what we saw from the left side is all of a sudden, he's going to
06:30be turning to the all pro right guard.
06:33He didn't, he didn't, they didn't say he was going to be an all pro, but he's saying that
06:37we talk about guys that are 25 and under chip.
06:40You're saying that's their best young guy.
06:41Yeah.
06:42Okay.
06:43I don't think anybody would agree with that.
06:44Right.
06:44All right.
06:45Who else would you go with?
06:46Who else is on that list with?
06:48Oh, that's the only person on their list.
06:50No way.
06:51That's what they put.
06:52I'll read the paragraph.
06:53This is their description, but it goes number 12 dolphins.
06:56Last year's rank.
06:5731 blue chips.
06:59Guard.
06:59Jonas of I.
07:00Naya notable graduated players.
07:02Guys who are now just 25 Malik, Washington.
07:04As you would expect the team that is rebuilding the dolphins have a ton of young talent, but
07:09few top players.
07:10After all, they had 13 draft picks this year, but only three came in the top two rounds.
07:14Caden Proctor will start at left guard, moving from tackle.
07:1821.
07:19You have cornerback, Chris Johnson, who's also 21 years old and linebacker.
07:22Jacob Rodriguez is 23.
07:24Also along the offensive line, left tackle, Patrick Paul is 24.
07:27Savai Naya, who will play right guard is 22.
07:30Running back Devon A. Chan has impressed to start his NFL career.
07:34It doesn't turn 25 till October.
07:36Rookie wide receivers, Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell are each 22 and defensive line features
07:4022 year olds, Kenneth Grant and Jordan Phillips.
07:43So they just have a lot of young talent, but it's not necessarily, right.
07:48But like, I I'd still say like, wouldn't you say it's Patrick Paul?
07:51Like if we're going to say blue chip, young guy, number 28 is your blue chip guy.
07:57Right.
07:58But even if they were being, cause he's got to, cause he's going to turn.
08:0025 in October.
08:02So like, even if we took them on it, yeah.
08:04They put brights off.
08:05But the age is 25 and under.
08:07So if even if he's 25 or turning 25, he falls within the criteria.
08:12Shona Savai Naya is our blue chipper.
08:14Oh my God.
08:15Not even Patrick Paul, bro.
08:17Hey, let me say this.
08:20And I have been a champion of this because I've seen Savai Naya is going to be a different
08:28player on the right side.
08:31I know you guys don't want to hear it.
08:33I hope so.
08:34I understand everything that you've seen and I understand, but I also know the difficulties
08:42of doing what he did as a rookie last year.
08:48That one of the reasons why they did it as a rookie, because they figured, Hey, he's young.
08:54If we get him used to this sooner, he'll be able to flourish.
08:58Right.
09:00It didn't quite work that well.
09:04So the Browns are four in case you were wondering, Leroy.
09:08Wasn't that?
09:08The blue chips are Harold Fannin Jr., Spencer Fano, Mason Graham, and Carson Schlesinger.
09:16Oh, that guy's a good player.
09:18Yes.
09:18Yes.
09:20He's all over the place.
09:24Mason Graham is, I mean, I'm guessing Mason Graham is why they probably thought, and that
09:31D-line is probably why they thought they could trade.
09:36Miles.
09:37Miles Garrett.
09:38And they got Jared Burst.
09:38Jared Burst is a good player.
09:39Jared Burst is a good player.
09:41And he's inside though, right?
09:44No, he's outside.
09:45He's outside?
09:45He's outside.
09:46He's an edge.
09:46It's the same thing.
09:48He's an edge.
09:48Junkins was hurt last year.
09:51So not Junkins.
09:56But yeah, they have, but here's the, look.
09:59Say what you want about all that nonsense.
10:04The Browns, they talk about the Browns.
10:07Right?
10:08If the Browns are going to be any good, there's only going to be one player on that list.
10:13Shadour?
10:14Yeah.
10:15But here's the kicker.
10:19I, me personally, I think the best thing to ever happen to Shadour was one off season.
10:29Right?
10:30To where, like, there's a lot of times when rookies come in and they come in with that
10:36kind of bravado that they came from college and you look at it that way.
10:41Whereas if you have an off season, you get an opportunity to learn about that player and
10:47say, oh, that's just who he is.
10:49But the guy works.
10:51The guy puts in the work.
10:52I think an off season of being able to prove to his guys, right, that he's putting in the
10:59work and doing the things to get better at his position.
11:03Right?
11:04Because there's a lot of things that, like, keep in mind, he said it himself.
11:07When he was in college, he didn't, they didn't, he didn't read defenses.
11:11So imagine being thrown into the fire without having that skill.
