And now move the sticks with

0:03

Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky

0:05

Brooks.

0:07

Hello, friends, move the sticks off

0:09

and running Here rapid reactions to Day

0:12

two of the twenty twenty four NFL

0:15

Draft. We had sixty nine

0:18

picks here from

0:20

rounds two and three. Took it all the way from

0:22

thirty three to one

0:25

hundred. Buffalo Bills made

0:27

the first pick. It was Keon Coleman

0:30

from Florida State. They got their wide

0:32

receiver. And then the last pick

0:34

of the day was the Washington

0:37

Commanders and they

0:39

end up taking a bloodline Luke

0:42

McCaffrey, Christian McCaffrey's

0:44

younger brother.

0:46

Okay, Bucky Brooks, Rhet lewis here

0:48

with you.

0:48

Daniel Jeremiah just now getting off the set

0:50

up in Detroit. He'll be back with us next

0:53

week to put a bow on a phenomenal

0:55

draft weekend. We've got four

0:57

more rounds for you tomorrow, Day three, four

0:59

rounds four through seven. But let's

1:01

talk about what we loved here, some of our favorite

1:03

Day two overall

1:05

picks from rounds two

1:08

and three.

1:08

What rings the bell for you, my friend?

1:10

Okay, so let's ring the bell with the first pick of

1:12

the second round with Keank Coleman. Sure

1:15

the Buffalo Bills got rid of Stefan Diggs

1:18

and Brandon Bean went on look,

1:21

he went on a thing saying, Hey, I

1:23

don't feel like we need a number one receiver, And

1:25

so they bring in Kean

1:27

Coleman to give them a big body playmaker

1:29

on the outside, someone who is a legitimate red

1:32

zone weapon, someone who really specializes

1:34

in making these circus catches down

1:36

the field for Josh Allen. To

1:39

me, it's a nice fit because Josh Allen

1:41

hasn't always been the most accurate passer.

1:43

And what you do is you get a guy who expands the

1:45

strike zone, gives them a big

1:47

body to kind of fill out that wide

1:50

receiver core. And when I think about

1:53

what he could be at the next level, reminds

1:55

me a lot of Marcus Colson being able to

1:57

maybe be the big slot receiver

1:59

to go with their two tight ends and give

2:01

them just a different look. And remember Joe

2:04

Brady spent time in New Orleans. Remember Joe

2:06

Brady basically took the playbook from the New Orleans

2:08

Saints before he went to LSU as the pass game coordinator.

2:11

Maybe he has a way

2:14

to unlock Kean Coleman that allows

2:16

him to be one hundred catch guy at the next level.

2:18

Yeah, I mean there's actually some Michael Thomas there

2:20

too, you know what I mean, you know, just

2:22

a little bit more recent there for

2:25

the New Orleans Saints. So certainly something to think

2:27

about. Look, I mean, I'm

2:29

not we're not going in order here, we'd be here

2:31

all night. But I loved the second pick

2:33

of the second round, and it was the

2:35

Chargers trading up to

2:38

get Lad McConkie, who I thought could have ended

2:40

up in the first round, but probably more of a second

2:42

round, and.

2:43

He goes very quickly here on night two,

2:45

the Georgia.

2:46

Technician, routecraft specialist

2:48

and absolute stud athlete

2:50

for three nine forty Ladi McConkie

2:52

goes to the Chargers. I

2:54

think Justin Herbert is going to love

2:57

what Lad McConkie does here. He's going to

2:59

be exactly where Herbert expects

3:02

him to be. He's going to get open, create separation,

3:04

stays healthy. Is going to be a home run pick for Jim

3:07

Harbaugh in the Chargers there, and our Daniel

3:09

Jeremiah weight in on

3:11

that selection from the draft desk

3:13

in Detroit.

3:14

I thought lab McConkie had a chance to hear his name

3:16

called last night. His tape

3:18

is impressive, and it wasn't just when you watched him

3:21

when you were studying him. I almost

3:23

noticed him more when I was watching all the

3:25

corners in the SEC because I kept going

3:27

through my notes. Great except against Georgia mcconkee,

3:29

really good except mcconkee beat him. Struggled

3:32

against McConkey. He is a big time

3:34

route runner with inside outside

3:37

flexibility. There is a route polish

3:39

to his game that is as good as it gets

3:41

in this draft class in and out of breaks, very

3:44

efficient, dropping his weight, creating separation,

3:47

outstanding, reliable hands,

3:49

the suddenness. This is not a quicker than fast

3:51

wide receiver, which we love to say in scouting.

3:54

He's got big time juice, legitimate

3:56

four to three speed to get on top

3:58

of coverage.

3:59

Here he is.

3:59

Watch him go from a static stop position

4:02

against the University of Florida and outrun

4:04

everybody on the field. So that

4:06

versatility, that route running polish.

4:09

Justin Herbert lost a premier route runner

4:12

and Keenan Allen. This is someone who can

4:14

plug in on third downs and is going to be able to win

4:16

one on one.

4:17

Okay, Bucky. Look as

4:19

we start to.

4:20

Kind of assess teams and

4:22

as they put together their Day two draft

4:24

haul man, I you know,

4:26

one of my favorite teams over the last couple

4:28

of years. On Day two picks has

4:31

in the la rams I a less

4:33

need in his scouting SI. They haven't had a first round pick

4:35

until this year since twenty sixteen,

4:38

so they've had to be really good on Day

4:40

two and Day three and I thought they they knocked

4:42

it out of the park again, went and got Jared

4:44

Verse at nineteen in the first round for first

4:46

year defensive coordinator Chris Shula,

4:49

helping make his job a little bit easier. Then they

4:51

go back and team Verse

4:53

up with his former Florida

4:55

State teammate in Braden Fisk.

4:57

Another athletic specimen, but as an interier

5:00

your defensive linemen.

5:01

I love that.

5:02

Then they come back and they get Blake Korum,

5:05

the phenomenal touchdown

5:08

machine out of Michigan and the national champion

5:10

running back there to add to that running

5:12

back group, they've been a more physical running

5:15

team as of late. Obviously Kyen

5:17

Williams led that charge last year, Ronnie Rivers

5:19

was a part of it. And now you add Blake

5:21

Korn into that mix. I really loved what the

5:24

Rams did today with their resources.

5:26

Yeah, I'll go with the entire draft hall.

5:28

When you think you're talking about Jerry Verse, pairing

5:31

him with his teammate Braydon Fist, getting

5:33

him at the top of the second round gives them more physicality,

5:36

more athleticism and toughness on the

5:38

line of scrimmage. And then to come back in the third

5:40

round and get Blake Korm at running back.

5:42

Everyone was excited about Karen william Karen

5:44

Williams was dominant last year

5:46

for the Rams, missing games and Steel put

5:49

off over a thousand yards. Well, now you

5:51

add Blake korm to the mix and you talk about a back

5:53

Bayck committee situation potentially. Blake

5:56

Horn, to me, is an underrated running back. Love the vision,

5:58

loved the birds, love the physicality and toughness and

6:00

the nose for the goal line. He is someone

6:02

that really really stood out to me.

6:05

So you talk about the Rams being a team that certainly

6:07

got better, Well let's go to the Green Bay Packers, and

6:09

the Green Bay Packers stand out because

6:13

Edrian Cooper, linebacker being able

6:15

to take him at pick forty five. Edren

6:17

Cooper, one of the fastest, more most athletic

6:19

linebackers, and then coming back

6:21

and being able to pick up Marshawn Lloyd

6:24

an Tyron Hopper being able

6:26

to continue to fill out that staff.

6:29

So with the two linebackers, you talk.

6:30

About adding speed, adding

6:32

explosiveness to the mix, and then Marshawn

6:35

Lloyd being able to kind of backstop Josh

6:37

Jacobs as they revamping

6:39

their running back room. This

6:42

is a team that has now become more physical and

6:44

dynamic in the backfield. And then I

6:46

just love what those guys can do at linebacker. When

6:48

you think about Jeff Affley's defense.

6:51

Yeah, good one there. I'll give

6:53

you another team to think about. I thought Omore

6:55

Cohn did a phenomenal job. And again you

6:57

could you could been you know what they

6:59

did in round one when they went and got Troy Filetanu

7:01

as he kind of started to slide a little

7:03

bit and was available there for them to take at twenty.

7:06

Thought he might be gone a little bit earlier. But then they

7:08

come back, they double down on offensive line. They

7:10

get Zack Fraser, super tough dude.

7:12

We saw the wrestling tape on our Draft Center

7:14

show. You don't want to mess with Zach

7:16

Fraser from West Virginia, and then

7:19

they come back at the end of the third

7:21

round and they get Peyton Wilson, another

7:23

wrestler, different weight classes, but

7:25

man, two tough dudes. Peyton Wilson

7:27

extreme value. If he's able to stay healthy,

7:30

that's the question. That's why he slid. But the

7:32

pick in between there was Roman Wilson. I

7:35

mean, good route runner,

7:37

athletic, fast, tough, physical,

7:40

little frame, not the biggest dude, but

7:42

man plays a little bit bigger. I love

7:44

that pick to replace you know, Deontay Johnson

7:46

who they sent off to Carolina.

7:49

Man. We put it all together, thought

7:51

Omar con did a great job.

7:52

Yeah, Omar Khan did a really good job.

7:54

And what they're doing and their characteristics

7:57

of franchises that always stand out when

7:59

you watch who they and why they're so successful

8:01

drafting. The one thing about the still

8:03

Is is when you're around people who

8:06

have worked for the Stillers, they just talk about Izia

8:08

Still that they have to kind of fit the brand, and when

8:10

you talk about Peyton Wilson and Roman

8:14

Wilson, you certainly fit because the toughness

8:16

is there, the IQ's there, but the production is

8:19

also there. They don't miss often

8:21

because they really stick to trying

8:24

to evaluate the players on the tape and making

8:26

sure that the tape shows that the players

8:28

are a really good player, more so than looking at the

8:30

workhouse in those things.

8:31

Okay, we had a couple of cool moments in this

8:34

draft, obviously, the Michigan Wolverine started

8:36

flying off the shelves on night

8:38

two. In fact, we'll have a

8:40

fun note from the Wolverines coming off the board

8:43

and the positions

8:45

who did not hear their names called on

8:47

night one. They came off the board in

8:50

round two and in a very

8:52

intriguing order. We'll have that for you when

8:54

we return right here on move the sticks. Okay,

9:01

Red Lewis Buckey Brooks back here with you as we continue

9:03

wrapping up night two. I thought this was really

9:06

kind of interesting, maybe an interest only me. Wide

9:08

receivers and defensive tackles started coming off

9:10

the board extremely fast in the second

9:12

round. But then we didn't see a linebacker.

9:14

We didn't see a running back, we did not see a safety

9:16

come off the board Bucky on night one.

9:19

On Night two, Edrin Cooper was

9:21

the first linebacker at picked forty five, going

9:23

to the Green Bay Packers. You mentioned you

9:25

liked what they did here on day two

9:27

of the draft. Then at pick forty six, the

9:29

very next selection, the Carolina Panthers

9:31

made Jonathan Brooks the first running

9:34

back off the board. So check two more positions.

9:36

Couldn't possibly get the first safety off the board?

9:38

Next? Could we?

9:39

Sure we did?

9:40

At pick number forty seven, the New York Giants

9:42

made Tyler Nuban the first safety

9:44

off the board, the ballhawk in centerfielder

9:47

from Minnesota. Look, I thought all three

9:49

really good fits, really good players, and they

9:51

just happened to come off the board back to back to back.

9:53

Yeah, they just just happened to come off the board back to

9:55

back to back, and all really really good players.

9:58

And you know, to think about when you

10:00

drafting on day two, like your

10:03

team in theory should be.

10:04

Comprised of guys that are drafted in the first two days.

10:06

You want to make sure that you get those picks right because

10:09

those guys are going to be the nucleus of your team.

10:10

And we think about all of those guys going back to.

10:12

Back to back key roles that they will feel,

10:15

yeah, opportunity to jump into starting

10:17

roles if things go well, and they should

10:19

be productive in each of those respective situations.

10:22

Trey Benson came off the board in the third

10:24

round from Florida State, and we mentioned Blake

10:26

Korum with the Rams. Marshaun Lloyd

10:29

hit the Green Bay

10:31

Packers draft, as you mentioned,

10:33

So running backs did start to come off, but

10:35

maybe not quite as fast as

10:37

we thought they would. Jalen Wright is still available

10:40

from Tennessee. Bucky Irving

10:42

still available there, Ray Davis

10:45

still available. So still plenty

10:47

of good backs out there available

10:49

to be picked.

10:50

All right, let's talk best

10:53

steal pick of

10:55

the night.

10:56

We may have already hit on one with Peyton Wilson going

10:58

all the way down there at pick ninety

11:00

eight to the Steelers.

11:01

Yeah, that's great steal.

11:02

But how about Cooper Degen going to the

11:04

Philadelphia I know we talked about him.

11:07

He's one of my favorite players, but I just think a lot

11:09

of it is fit in scheme.

11:10

How does the player fit into the scheme?

11:12

Cooper Degen fits into the scheme

11:15

that the Philadelphia Eagles want to employ with

11:17

Vic Fangio and Vic Fangio

11:20

demands instincts, intelligence,

11:23

awareness, physicality, and toughness. Where

11:25

you can check off all those boxes with Cooper de Gen and

11:27

then I talked about him. I described him as a Decatholic

11:29

because he brings so much versatility to

11:32

the table. I just think this defense

11:34

gets smarter when you think about Quinnon

11:36

Mitchell being able to come on board as the

11:38

first round pick, Cooper Degen coming in as

11:41

the second round pick. How mcfangio

11:43

has been able to get young players to play in this

11:45

defense and play really well. To me, the Philadelphia

11:48

Eagles have completely flipped their secondary

11:51

and it may flip their fortunes when it comes

11:53

to the way the defense performs.

11:55

Yeah, that's a good one, and

11:58

I wanted to call out the Detroits. They doubled

12:00

down at cornerback just like the Eagles did. I

12:02

thought Annis Rakestraw was a bit of a steal late

12:04

second round. Thought he might end up late first round.

12:07

But I think the Steel that I want to go to at

12:10

this point is Junior Coulson third

12:12

round, off the ball linebacker going back

12:14

to reunite with Jim Harbaugh from Michigan.

12:17

Now to the Chargers. I loved that

12:19

pick there at sixty nine with the

12:21

Chargers. Okay,

12:24

biggest surprise that we saw today

12:27

which could be a selection or

12:29

could be a name still out

12:31

there on the board.

12:32

As we wrap up our rapid reacts.

12:34

Here, a name is still

12:37

out there on the board.

12:38

So we've talked about Franklin, Tom,

12:40

but I'm gonna say they got it. I'm a little

12:42

surprised that's still out there. Is Austin Booker

12:45

from Kansas. I just thought that

12:48

his flashes as an athletic

12:50

pass rusher, even though it was one year wonder

12:52

type situation. I thought that maybe

12:54

he would kind of sneak into the bottom of round

12:58

three. But I expect

13:00

his name to be one of the first ones to come off the board

13:02

when we opened up the draft.

13:04

Yeah, I agree with you. A couple other names

13:07

to kind of just a little surprise.

13:09

And I mildly at this point right because

13:11

it might the weight might not last longer. But I

13:13

think, look, Troy Franklin sticks out

13:15

like a sore thumb. Fortieth overall

13:18

player. I believe he was in for Lanzerline.

13:20

Believe he was in DJ's top fifty. You

13:23

know, speedy wide receiver, vertical player

13:25

from Oregon, but still out there and

13:27

available after one hundred selections.

13:29

And then Jayden Hicks from Washington,

13:33

you know, one of the top safeties in this class.

13:34

He was in your top five I believe or

13:37

just outside.

13:38

Just as he was.

13:40

He was in a conversation because there were a lot of people that

13:42

were buzzing, Yeah, leading into the draft.

13:44

Surprised that he's still out there.

13:47

Athletic, long, physical,

13:50

really intriguing traits.

13:51

TJ.

13:52

Tampa is still out there from Iowa State,

13:54

as.

13:55

Was another one that caught buzz

13:57

late.

13:58

Yeah, hasn't come to fruition in

14:00

terms of the way people that we're talking about them. But

14:02

yeah, when you get into the fourth round, so the

14:04

fourth round.

14:05

Is developmental round.

14:06

These are the developmental players, the players

14:08

that you think have an opportunity to eventually

14:11

not only make the roster, but crack the lineup.

14:14

Or they're players that have had some issue

14:16

that's plaguing them, whether it's medical, whether

14:18

it's an off field character concern, something

14:20

like that, things where they've been penalized

14:23

outside of their talents. That's

14:26

why you see a run on players and some of the notable

14:28

names that we're surprised they didn't go off.

14:30

Those guys should come off the board within the first ten to fifteen

14:33

picks.

14:33

Man, I think these running

14:35

backs Ray Davis will Shipley, Tyrone,

14:38

Tracy. They're gonna come off, I think

14:40

pretty quick when we get this fourth round roll in

14:42

here. Jalen Wright probably right

14:44

up there as well, who led all running

14:47

backs in FBS and yards per carry this year

14:49

for Tennessee. Mohammed Kamara is

14:51

another one to think about as an edge rusher.

14:53

Another one right up there with Austin Booker.

14:56

I think you could look at Kate Stover and THEO Johnson

14:58

as the tight ends the next to come off the board.

15:01

And we did see Tip Ryman go was

15:03

that the was Tip the Tip and

15:05

Ben Sennett I think the only tight ends

15:07

that I can recall.

15:10

Johnson, we haven't seen any of the guys that we

15:12

talk We knew the class wasn't wasn't

15:15

what has been in the past, but we thought some

15:17

of the athletes would go Yeah,

15:19

the guys that really tested well with THEO. Johnson in particular

15:22

from Penn State hasn't happened yet.

15:24

I would expect in the fourth round we'll see all of those

15:26

guys kind of fly off the board.

15:27

Keep your eye Malik Washington to the

15:30

talented slot receiver from Virginia

15:32

who led college football and receptions

15:34

this year. So again, just a couple

15:37

of names to keep an eye on there

15:39

as we get set for a round. By

15:41

the way, only position well outside of the specialist

15:44

that didn't hear a player called on day

15:46

two.

15:47

Quarterback.

15:48

Oh that's right.

15:49

We thought Spencer Rattler would be gone by non

15:52

We haven't seen that happen.

15:53

Six quarterbacks went in the first twelve

15:56

picks.

15:57

We didn't get another one in the next eighty

15:59

eight, so you think there was a little

16:01

bit of a gap, but you're gonna see. I bet you see

16:03

Spencer Rattler and Michael Pratt from two lane

16:05

off the board in the fourth row. A couple of things to think

16:07

about. Look forward to seeing you back here for

16:09

Move the Sticks. A full draft recap

16:12

next time. We come to you next week for

16:15

Bucky Brooks. I am Red Lewis. Thanks to the Bielle

16:17
