Speaker 20s - 14.44s

It's the lockdown podcast network, your team every day. We told you two guys were going to get taken in the first round.

Speaker 314.76s - 49.7s

They did. We told you to keep your eyes out for a few more in the second round. That's where they went. We're talking about all the Georgia ORG Bulldogs and where they were drafted and the worst, the worst oversight that NFL GMs have ever committed in the history of the NFL draft next on the Locked on Bulldogs ORG podcast. You are Locked on Bulldogs, your daily podcast on the Georgia Bulldogs ORG.

Speaker 150.06s - 56.4s

Part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. Welcome back.

Speaker 256.52s - 91.24s

This is Locked on Bulldogs, part Lockedon Podcast Network, your team every day. Thanks for making Daniel and I Locked on Bulldogs your first listen of the day. We appreciate it. Today's episode is brought me by Fanduel. Fanduel.com ORG slash locked on. Make every moment more and more on Fandual here in a moment.You know that. But we talk about the Georgia Bulldogs ORG like we do as fans because this just in Alabama and Florida GPE fan and random Texas GPE fan I can only imagine in because you don't try to be Florida or Alabama GPE fan, and you speak a big game and have very little...Welcome to the SEC ORG.

Speaker 392.24s - 96.72s

Texas GPE fans. They don't know. Are from Texas GPE.

Speaker 296.96s - 100.7s

Do I need to tell you more about them? Or do you now know everything that you need to know?

Speaker 3100.7s - 101.66s

I need to know.

Speaker 2101.82s - 102.8s

Texas GPE is about me.

Speaker 3103.26s - 110.6s

I'm glad you guys are here. We talk like fans, dual because we love being fans. We are homers. We are Georgia ORG football fans. We're all.

Speaker 2111.12s - 124.74s

We're talking about then Georgia Bulldogs that are making coin now in the NFL ORG. We're so thrilled for these guys. So proud of them. We're going to talk about Kirby Smart as the developer and how he goes aheadand gets the most squeeze out of every lemon that he gets on campus.

Speaker 0124.9s - 138.1s

It's amazing what this guy's able to accomplish. That's right. And you should be impressed by it. Daniel PERSON, you said there's an underreach in the draft where GMs are going to be kicking themselves when it all is said and done that they had the opportunity to take this kid

Speaker 2138.1s - 185.2s

and they passed up on him to the sign of not counting against a draft choice, which is just lunacy. We're going to talk about a couple of safeties that land in perfect positions, and we're going to talk about all in all again, Kirby Smart PERSON as the dude who gets guys on campus and wherever they are ranked, they end up higher, higher than where they were, they brought into the program. So let's start, Daniel PERSON, on some guys.Let's start in the first round. We talk about Brock Bowers and Marius Mims PERSON. Amarius Mims goes 18th, 15th and 18th inside the top 20. We got the Raiders as well as the Bancel PERSON. Respectively for Brock Bowers and Amaris Mims PERSON.Marys Mims PERSON sets up in a situation where he is now protecting one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Brock Bowers PERSON is catching passes from a quarterback.

Speaker 3185.88s - 190.02s

I don't know who is going to be throwing him passes for the long run.

Speaker 0190.52s - 191.56s

But tease and peace.

Speaker 2191.56s - 193.98s

I mean, I don't think anybody knows who.

Speaker 3194.3s - 196.88s

It doesn't matter so much because if it's within.

Speaker 2196.88s - 197.94s

He's Brock Bowers PERSON.

Speaker 3198.24s - 198.82s

That's right.

Speaker 2199.24s - 203.22s

Let's talk about these two gentlemen's situations and how Kirby Smart PERSON brought them in,

Speaker 3203.32s - 216.38s

landed them and developed. And Brock Bowers PERSON was brought in and make no mistake. He came from Napa, California, which many of you don't even know where that is outside of a wine bottle. It is the coastal above San Francisco, so North Bay Area LOC.

Speaker 2217.18s - 231.74s

And this just in, Brock Bowers PERSON was athletic. He's an incredible blocker. Draft grades down on him because he didn't go ahead and test. But if you look at the film and you look at game tape, which is what's most important, not 40 or dash because anybody can train for that

Speaker 0231.74s - 236.68s

and be a track athlete. It takes a special kind of breed to be fast in game, which is what Brock Bowers PERSON is.

Speaker 2237.34s - 282.22s

He was incredible. He goes to the Raiders ORG. Daniel, talking about the development that Brock Bowers had in Georgia ORG's offense. And it was just unlocked. Like he had a lot of raw skill sets that didn't come across in high school tape because he had to be an end all be all. He was quarterback running back, linebacker, punt returner, punt.I mean, he just did it all. He goes to Georgia ORG. He just said, give me the ball in space and let's see what happens. I'll be stronger than everybody, faster and everybody, more agile than everybody. And oh, yeah, just this. I'll block in line against a linebacker or DB or an end that you give me, no problem. He translates easy to the NFL. And Kirby Smart and Mike Bobo PERSON are credited withdeveloping him into an all-around weapon on offense, Daniel PERSON. Yeah, I mean, it's, these guys are

Speaker 3282.22s - 309.88s

going to be easy stars on their respective teams. These were very can't miss round one prospects. We thought Georgia was only going to have two in the first round. They only had two in the first round. I'll say this. And I told you, if somebody's going to sneak into the first round, Glenn, who did I say it was going to be Ladd McConkey PERSON?And I'll be danged if he didn't almost sneak into that first round. The LA Chargers said, I can't believe he's still here.

Speaker 0310.18s - 322.24s

We're going to need to snatch him up. Second pick, 34th overall of the second round. I would say of those three guys, you have got to love Ladd's situation.

Speaker 3323.5s - 335.68s

I mean, like going out, playing for the Chargers ORG. Obviously, first year coach Jim Harbaugh PERSON. I loved that video of that phone call between the two of them.

Speaker 0335.82s - 356s

It was fantastic. That's some of my favorite things that come out during the draft. But it's a good situation, Justin Herbert, a team that you feel like, say what you will about Jim Harbaal PERSON, but you tell me the spot that he's been, that he hasn't been successful as a coach.I expect him to be successful as the San Diego Chargers ORG head coach.

Speaker 2356.92s - 361.88s

And it's a great, I think of all three of those, Ladd-McConkey PERSON may have found himself

Speaker 0361.88s - 366.06s

into the best situation of all of them.

Speaker 3366.52s - 367.92s

And he's an instant starter.

Speaker 2368.1s - 370.48s

Day one starts on that offense, Daniel PERSON.

Speaker 3370.48s - 399.8s

The offensive wide receiver group is depleted. Absolutely. Yeah, Keenan Allen PERSON gone. Like there's, I mean, there's a lot of openings on that roster. And so you love that. All right, we're going to come back segment two.We're going to talk about who we thought was the biggest steal of the draft. And then segment three, y'all, I'm going to go off and talk about the most ridiculous oversight in the history of the NFL ORG draft.

Speaker 0400.08s - 407.04s

But first, some from these. Some like game time.

Speaker 2407.16s - 420.72s

Game time is fantastic because Daniel and I can get last minute tickets on the places we want to go. The ticket plays for NBA ORG as well as playoff tickets. It's faster. It's easier. Prices on Game Time PRODUCT app actually go down the close you get to tip off. This is just good for everybody.

Speaker 0421.18s - 441.58s

Pick specific games and matchup that you want to attend and go ahead and find out where the seats are and how the deals you get going. Last minute deal, save with the 60% of buying last minute sports concerts, comedy theater. You better believe that Daniel and I may just book plane tickets before we get Tuscaloosa GPE tickets or may get plane tickets and hotel reservations before we do anything else for games

Speaker 3441.58s - 443.56s

in Athens GPE because we're not worried about the tickets.

Speaker 2443.86s - 444.74s

We're not about the tickets.

In round five, the Buffalo Bills picked up Cedric Van Pran Granger PERSON and the Falcons rounded out the Georgia Bulldogs draft in the sixth round taking Zion Loeg PERSON. I'm going to start Clint PERSON and I'm going to tell you this. The folks in Buffalo ORG, New Yorkhere we go. Are going to love this man, Cedric Van Pran. He comes inhe may not be the day one starter at center But he may be But he may be He comes in To a proud fan baseA great football culture And he is only going to make that culture Better He is instant credibility Anywhere he goes And he is only going to make that culture better. He is instant credibility anywhere he goes. And this just in, Clint PERSON, he's a ridiculously talented football player.

Speaker 0595.66s - 604.24s

I think he's the most underrated Georgia football player, maybe of the Kirby Smart PERSON era.

Speaker 3607.48s - 615.6s

Like that's how I feel about Seder of Van Pan PERSON. And it's not just his intangibles. It's not just his leadership. Do yourself a favor and go find some video of

Speaker 0615.6s - 622.18s

Cedric Van Pran in the Orange Bowl against Florida State ORG in a game that I was told

Speaker 3622.18s - 625.22s

by Florida State University ORG didn't matter.

Speaker 0625.82s - 626.42s

Now, hold on.

Speaker 3628.52s - 630.72s

That's a lie, apparently.

Speaker 0630.72s - 634.56s

He played in the game, first of all, which is interesting.

Speaker 3635.8s - 638.16s

And then when he played in the game,

Speaker 0638.54s - 646.12s

he came off the ball and absolutely destroyed some people. I'm talking

Speaker 3646.12s - 677.46s

about physically annihilated some people. Now, Sederg van Pran is a home run pick in the fifth round. Can't believe it. We'retalking about, there's some fifth round players that aren't going to make rosters. No, we'll be cut. And you may have just drafted your center for the next 10 years in SVP ORG. I cannot imagine a fan base more excited to have a Georgia Bulldog than the Buffalo Bills today, Clint PERSON.

Speaker 2678.38s - 691.64s

It's really wild to me because if I look at the amount of bulldogs that went later than expected, yes, Ladmanconkey snuck in there to nearly the first round, which is unbelievable if you process that.

Speaker 3692.98s - 694.94s

Kirby Smart took Ladd-McConkey PERSON.

Speaker 2695.44s - 696.34s

How many stars did he have?

Speaker 3696.68s - 713.9s

And made him into dang near a first-round wide receiver. And there's Alabama GPE fans on Twitter. They were going to troll Ladd-Mconkey for slipping out of the first round. Just processed for me one second what we're doing. I'm waiting. Yikes.

Speaker 2714.44s - 736.82s

It's ridiculous. Here's the reality. Sedge, Van Prandt PERSON is going to go ahead and absolutely, we got a guard in as center for Buffalo ORG, a guy who was with the Dallas Cowboys earlier SVP has every shot in the world of making not just the roster but go ahead and getting a starting position very soon in Buffalo ORG um they love toting the rock they

Speaker 3736.82s - 742.66s

love running with a quarterback that is you think he knows how to block for james cook i do know i

Speaker 2742.66s - 746.26s

in fact i know definitively that he enjoys.

Speaker 3746.3s - 746.52s

Okay.

Speaker 2746.68s - 748.98s

You think James Cook PERSON maybe just phoned in a little bit?

Speaker 3748.98s - 755.3s

He just said, who do you? GM. Real quick. My guy's still out there. He's still out there.

Speaker 2755.38s - 775.94s

He's on the board. There's four centers drafted ahead of him. We need this dude instantaneously. But Jordan, Daniel, Jordan, love in the Packers ORG. If you don't understand how much love I have for the Packers ORG' GM in front office right now. No, we love them.It's because they triple, quadruple dipped into Georgia ORG's.

Speaker 3776.06s - 777.5s

They love Georgia ORG defenders.

Speaker 2777.72s - 792.16s

Do they not? Well, Devonthe White PERSON is starting as a tackle. He's there. Now, who else? Quay Walker. Now, I'm sorry.How about he just was one of the leading tacklers for the defense?

Speaker 3792.2s - 793.22s

That's probably it, though.

Speaker 2793.88s - 795.2s

Well, no, no, no.

Speaker 3795.24s - 796.84s

What if I told you that Stokes PERSON is all.

Speaker 2796.84s - 799.46s

Oh, Eric Stokes PERSON, he out there as well.

Speaker 3799.72s - 810.98s

All right. Well, they didn't add anybody this draft, did they? No, Javon Bullard's PERSON slots in right? I think day one starting safety for the Packers ORG.

Speaker 2812.22s - 813.84s

And I promise you this.

Speaker 3814.44s - 819.36s

If he ain't day one starting safety, he can be lighting some fools up on special teams.

Speaker 2819.78s - 820.96s

I'm telling you this right now.

Speaker 3821.06s - 827.04s

Evan Williams as well as back there as uh, as the draft out of Oregon ORG.

Speaker 2827.04s - 849.92s

So they got a couple of rookies back there. Zamea Kinley is back there in the second. I think Jubon Bullard set himself up really well to be drafted by the Packers ORG. I think Packers ORG did a great job. They, they hit the Packers ORG drafts. Devonte White PERSON is a starter on the defensive line. Quay Walker PERSON is a tackling machine.Eric Stokes PERSON is a lockdown corner. They just said, well, why wouldn't we just get as many Georgia players as possible? Jemont Bullard PERSON sets himself up into a

Speaker 0849.92s - 858.48s

fantastic situation. Just I think the fit and the scheme and the need and the skill set is ideal.

Speaker 1858.62s - 865.68s

I think Javon Bullard is underrated. He could have gone second first round. The skill and the talent is there.

Speaker 0865.68s - 870.82s

For him to fall to 58, the Packers ORG had to feel like they won the lottery. I mean,

Speaker 1870.94s - 877.08s

won the dang lottery. A need, a filled need, a skilled need, and a guy that they know comes

Speaker 3877.08s - 882.38s

ready because Kirby Smart PERSON has coached him up personally. How many stars did he have coming out

Speaker 2882.38s - 888.62s

in high school? Probably five, right? He was probably, it's all about just simply getting the best recruits in Georgia ORG.

Speaker 3888.82s - 889.66s

That's all they do.

Speaker 2889.76s - 894.1s

They can't develop or coach or scheme or game plan for anybody.

Speaker 3894.1s - 894.56s

Oh, cool.

Speaker 2894.68s - 897.24s

Another three star that Kirby Smart PERSON turned into a.

Speaker 3897.24s - 897.76s

Oh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2897.94s - 899.76s

Was everything I just said not true?

Speaker 3899.96s - 900.56s

Not true.

Speaker 2900.8s - 901s

No.

Speaker 3901.72s - 902.66s

That's wild.

Speaker 2903.24s - 952.86s

Daniel PERSON. We're going to come back after this. Daniel PERSON's going to pop off. I'm going to agree with him. And it's for, no. That's wild. Daniel. We're going to come back after this.

Daniel, you wanted to pop off so I can give the representative from Tennessee GPE the floor.

Speaker 31022.2s - 1054.1s

Listen, I get it that not everyone in the NFL, it's not their job to be a fan of Georgia ORG football. I get it that it's not their job to pick the guys you like. Okay? And let's just be honest. Look across the NFL ORG. There's plenty of guys who are awesome at football who didn't go to Georgia, who are absolutely murdering it in the NFL ORG right now.That's fine. For every Nick Chubb, there's 10 other running backs who are also very good at football who didn't go to georgia GPE but listen you don't have to take him in the first

Speaker 21054.1s - 1059.14s

round you don't have to take him in the first few rounds but the fact that kendall milton did not

Speaker 31059.14s - 1063.84s

get drafted and i can't even talk about dajan edwards PERSON right now who also did not get drafted signed

Speaker 01063.84s - 1066.26s

with a pittsburgh ste. Congratulations to Dajun Edwards PERSON.

Speaker 31067.38s - 1147.1s

But the fact that Kendall Milton PERSON didn't get drafted is to me insanity. I understand the injuries. I understand that he's, you know, maybe GMs have a tendency to do this. They have a tendency to get on a certain line of thinking and scare themselves off of common sense, right? There have been hundreds of running backs who have overcome similar injuries to Kendall Milton PERSON.And Clint, you get the feeling that what happened is that NFL ORG GMs looked at last season and said 121 carries, 790 yards, 6.5 yards of carry, 14 touchdowns, which is pretty good. six and a half yards of carry, 14 touchdowns, which is pretty good, but you look at his whole career and, you know, there's nothing. He never rushed for near 1,000 yards.He never. But Clint PERSON, you and I both know that right now is the healthiest that Kendall Milton PERSON has been since he was a senior in high school.

Speaker 21147.66s - 1152.48s

Correct. I was just going to say ever since we've seen him on ESP and out of Fresno, California.

Speaker 31152.7s - 1191.2s

This very moment is the healthiest he's ever been. And I'll validate that by telling you that in three of his last five games as a Georgia Bulldog, he rushed for over 100 yards in those games. And oh, by the way, he did so averaging over 10 yards a carry. Oh, that's unique. Well, it's also he had six touchdowns in those three games, nine touchdowns in his last five games of his Georgia ORG career. It's almost as if he is just round. nine touchdowns in his last five games of his Georgia ORG career. It's almost as if he is just rounding into form.

Speaker 01191.2s - 1193.42s

Like he's figuring it out.

Speaker 31193.42s - 1227.52s

His body is healthy and he is poised to begin his career right now for a team. And the fact that the Philadelphia Eagles were able to not spend a draft pick and just pick this guy up is unbelievable, Clint PERSON. I guarantee you he's going to be a good NFL ORG running back. I guarantee you.

Speaker 01229.62s - 1231.38s

He may not make a Pro Bowl EVENT.

Speaker 21231.62s - 1232.86s

He might not be a Hall of Famer.

Speaker 31233.16s - 1238.16s

I guarantee you he is going to be a good NFL ORG running back.

Speaker 21238.16s - 1251.88s

I'm going to compare him to another NFL player that was actually drafted by the Eagles and then compare them with a Georgia Bulldog. This is not Elijah Holyfield PERSON. Elijah Holyfield injured did not have the burst of the

Speaker 01251.88s - 1259.72s

speed or the vision that Zeus PERSON, I'm sorry, the Kindle Milton had. Zeus, another player drafted

Speaker 21259.72s - 1300.44s

by Georgia. But Elijah Holyfield injured, had some, had some marks on him. That's not what Kind of Milton PERSON is a big bodied, huge running back that can hit a hole with some burst, with some speed, who is now healthier than he's ever been in his entire life. And Shipley was drafted by the Eagles ORG with a fourth round selection that was often injured as well that had some intriguing upside to him. And if you look at the other running backs, Bucky Irvin out of Oregon in the fourth round,you're going to tell me you're going to take Bucky Irvin above a healthy Kendall Milton PERSON? No thanks. Ray Davis, Kentucky GPE, that dude had volume and an offense that only ran through.

Speaker 31300.74s - 1302.62s

Kendall Milton is a better running back than Ray Davis PERSON.

Speaker 21302.82s - 1306.42s

Bucky Irving and Will Shipley PERSON, those are different kinds of players.

Speaker 31306.72s - 1308.88s

Those are not Kendall Milton PERSON, right?

Speaker 21309s - 1309.66s

Like you understand,

Speaker 01309.76s - 1310.78s

these are different,

Speaker 31311.4s - 1316.48s

those are different receiving threats out of the back field. Like, that's a different kind of player. I'm not even going to compare him.

Speaker 21316.96s - 1330.04s

Ray Davis PERSON, Ray Davis PERSON, Esmey out of Notre Dame ORG, goes to the Broncos in the fifth round. Another big, you telling me that you'd rather have him because I saw tape.I watched film. I watched games. These guys are different.

Speaker 31330.04s - 1335.26s

If you look at the whole careers, yes, they had better careers. Sure. That's not, talk about career.

Speaker 21335.64s - 1338.38s

That is not an indicator of reality.

Speaker 31339.5s - 1341.58s

A reality is who he is right now.

Speaker 21342.1s - 1386.18s

South Dakota State, New Hampshire GPE had running backs. Louisville had two running backs taken. I'm telling you this right now. Daniel is right now. South Dakota State, New Hampshire had running backs. Louisville had two running backs taken. I'm telling you this right now. Daniel PERSON is right. The ceiling for Kendall Milton PERSON. The Eagles ORG may have just found a solution to their.They let one Georgia ORG bulldog go. He went to the Bears ORG. DeAndre Swift PERSON, go be great.
