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
for running the show behind the Glass. DJ will be
16:19
back next week and we will see you then here
16:21
on Move the Sticks.
