Let's get on the clock as we have another edition of the GoBirds 2026 draft preview as we look at this draft class from all the different positions, all the different mock drafts, all the different experts. And today we keep it going on the defensive side of the ball as yesterday we did the edge position would highly recommend listening to it. Definitely some intriguing edge prospects in this draft. I don't think and we'll talk about the defensive tackle position on this pod. I don't, I think like the defensive tackle position, not a ton of great edge options for the Eagles at number 23. If you're drafting in that top 10, I think there's some more intriguing options, but at 23 with edge, just don't think there is a ton of great options there. And I'll, you know, spoil this pod, I guess from the beginning. Don't think there's a ton of great options for the Eagles at a defensive tackle at number 23, but a main differences, you might get the best defensive tackle prospect in the draft at number 23, as opposed to the edge position, you're probably looking at the third, fourth best edge prospect in that draft. Now, of course, we have no idea how this will actually play out in terms of who ends up being the best. The Eagles took the first corner in the draft back in 2024 and Quiniaw Mitchell and he's one of the best corners in the NFL, but they took him all the way deep, right? So, or all the way at the end of the first round. So sometimes just because a prospect goes late, obviously it doesn't mean they can't be great, but going into this draft, it just doesn't seem in my opinion, like a very strong or at least top heavy, I should say defensive line class. But we know the Eagles value the position. We know that they have needs at the position, especially at edge, at least more immediate needs at edge defensive tackle. I think their needs are a little more down the road. So today we're going to look at the 2026 defensive tackle class, what players could interest the Eagles, where they might actually take one, and how likely is it that when we're doing our draft recap pods, we're talking about a defensive tackle being added to the Eagles roster. So let's start with how we always do on these pods with looking at the defensive tackle position, where they're at, what the need really is, and what the long-term future is. So I think there's an argument that now that AJ Brown is going to be traded, that if you look at the Eagles defensive tackle position, it might, excuse me, it might be their best position in terms of top heaviness, right? If you look at corner, you can definitely make that argument with Quinion and Cooper. The fact Cooper plays on the inside, I think it's a little like, dings him just a little bit, but certainly Quinion and Cooper are up there. The tackles, Lane and my Lada, Lane coming off an injury prone year, I don't think you would really put him in there. You know, quarterback and running back are kind of one man positions there. So I think the defensive tackle room with Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis and Moro Jomo is probably the deepest position on the team. If Tariq Wollin has a really good year, then you can make a strong argument for corner, but going into the season, the trio of Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis and Moro Jomo are hard to beat on this roster in terms of the deepest position. And I would argue probably tough to beat around the NFL as well. You look at just strictly what they bring as players. Jalen Carter can be a top 10 defensive player in the sport. He's shown that ability. Jordan Davis was better than Jalen Carter last year. Now he needs to keep that going. It's only one year. He needs to still improve as a pass rusher now that he's got that big time contract. But he is somebody that is, you know, arguably like a top 10 player at his position right now. And then Moro Jomo, I think, had a very underrated year. I guess I should say for me, it wasn't underrated because I said all the time how good he was, but he was outstanding. He made himself a lot of money. I think 2025 Moro Jomo might have been better than 2024 Milton Williams. We know how much money Milton Williams got. Now I think Milton Williams is bigger than Moro Jomo. I think he'll get paid more. But regardless, so Jomo still one year left on his contract. And then this upcoming off season, he will hit the free agency market. So they have a decision to make about him. And I don't think it's a super easy one. Like he's awesome at getting after the quarterback. He really is. Now you're hoping Jordan Davis improves in that regard. But if you were to lose Moro Jomo, then you really have to find another pass rushing defensive tackle from a, from a depth perspective. You really hope Jalen Carter continues to be a dominant player. I still expect Jalen Carter to get paid this off season. Sometimes the bigger deals take longer. Fletcher Cox deal at one point took like into the mandatory mini camps. So I'm not worried about the Jalen Carter deal not getting done yet. But let's live in a world where maybe the Eagles are a little hesitant about paying Jalen Carter, then the defensive tackle need really becomes a much bigger one. Cause you're talking about Carter, you know, I would put this at 5% or whatever, but Carter maybe being traded after this upcoming season, if they simply can't agree to a deal Carter, the Carter situation getting ugly, I don't think that's going to happen. I think they're going to pay him. So you're looking at Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis as your two foundational pieces at defensive tackle moving forward. So now we're talking about depth positions and what type of skill you want there. We just talked about Moro Jomo. I would expect he's probably gone in a year. I think he's a really good trade piece if they know they're not going to pay him. But of course, if you trade him, then you have to replace him. So behind Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis, Moro Jomo, Ty Robinson, Gabe Hall, Byron Young, Taquan Graham, and then I put BG with the question mark since he's kind of a defensive tackle now, but he's not on the roster yet and we'll see if they bring him back. So I think the key player here is Ty Robinson and Ty Robinson's development, a fourth round pick last year, had an awesome training camp from watching the video of him in college and what the Eagles thought of him, hearing in the building, how excited they were about him. I thought he could be an impact player as a rookie. He really wasn't. Only played 15% of the snaps, 104 snaps on defense. Majority of those that last game of the season where the backups played. So Ty Robinson not having a great rookie year isn't a huge red flag yet because they didn't need it last year. They had really good defense of tackle play, but this year they really need him to take a step forward. If Ty Robinson has another year where he's not a contributing player, you start to look at that as a pick that didn't hit and you have to think about replacing him. And again, with Moro Jomo potentially gone, and then you look at the rest of the guys, Gabe Hall, Byron Young, Taquan Graham, all like year to year players, not guys that you look at and go, okay, he will definitely be a contributing player in 2027. In fact, all three of them might not make the roster depending on what they do in the draft. So the needed defensive tackle is clear. I think you're thinking about 2027 with this class, assuming you're going to pay Jalen Carter because then you have the two starters absolutely locked in. And now you're talking about rotational pieces. And hopefully, they only need one piece if Ty Robinson turns into a contributing player. So with all that being said, look at this, when you look at this draft class, I think it's probably a good year not to go into it needing a defensive tackle. Like I said, I don't view it as a top heavy class where I'm impressed by the best defensive tackles in the class. And I think even as you go deep, like there's a few intriguing players we'll talk about, but I didn't leave my research of the defensive tackle position thinking, okay, here's a position where I'm just handing out stars, right? Like this is a great prospect. This is a great prospect. That's just not really how I felt about the players in this draft at the position. So let's look at the defensive tackles at the defensive tackle prospects and want some that some might make sense for the Eagles. Before we do this, I probably should have done this at the edge on the edge pod, but with the Eagles trading for Dontevian Wicks, let's just take a look at where their picks are at. And of course, this is via Jimmy Kemp's key of Philly voice does the best job in the business of tracking the Eagles picks. So going to give him credit for that, even though it's just basic information, he does a great job tracking all of it. So give them those clicks, he deserves it. So they still have obviously picked 23, they still have picked 54 in the second round, picked 68 in the third round, picked 98 in the third round, 114 and 147 in the third round, 178 and 197. 178 in the fifth round, 197 in the sixth round. And again, pretty interesting that of all the picks, only the first and second round are their original picks. So looking at it, I think you're probably thinking third round, fourth round of when they would realistically take a defensive tackle. But if they're going to take one early and they're going to take one with a premium pick, I think there's two, maybe three players, really only two that would qualify. And I think that you look at most mock draft boards, most, you know, draft rankings, and those two players are Katie McDonald, McDonald out of Ohio State, and Peter Woods out of Clemson. So let's talk about Katie McDonald first. So 21.2 gets the baby emoji. Now, as a player, he's not the type of defensive tackle I like to draft, right? Because when you watch him, when you read about him, he seems like he's just a run stopping nose tackle that doesn't offer much as a pass rusher. And that's obviously concerned for me if I'm taking him at 23 or even really at 54, because we saw Jordan Davis developed into one, but it took some time. I mean, it was what three years of Jordan Davis being a basically non non impact player against the past before he started to do that. And even last year, he wasn't as good as you want him to be against the past. So if I'm drafting somebody in the first round, I need to feel like he can be an impact pass rusher. So they'd have to feel confident that Katie McDonald could develop into a pass rusher. But for now, six to 326 pounds certainly fits the nose tackle type of role. Just to put in perspective, Moro Jamos, 292 pounds at 63. This guy's in it shorter and, you know, almost 30 pounds heavier. So definitely that nose tackle type of body. And when you look at pictures of him watching play, it checks. So his stats, 85 tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, three sacks, two force fumbles and three pass deflections in 36 games. You heard me say on the edge pod how much I value past deflections as a stat for defensive linemakes. I think it just shows such effort. It shows listening to coaches. It shows staying involved in the play throughout. So three pass deflections, not a huge number, but the fact that he's, he has some, I think, is noteworthy. The scouting report via the very talented Lance Zerloin of NFL.com as always, quote, a talented run defender. Don't love that as that first sentence. A talented run defender, McDonald plays with natural leverage and rattles pads with his initial contact. He's quick to locate ball carriers play off blocks and rally to the action. His technique is a bit underdeveloped and he's not a natural drain clogger against double teams, but he's still managed on unusually high tackle rate as an interior defense, as an interior defender. He managed in unusually high tackle rate as an interior defender, I should say. Quicker hand strike should allow for more effective reps and earlier wins at the point. He offers limited rush value. So his money will be made by giving grief to centers and guards as an even front nose tackle with starting potential end quote. So I think the value of taking Kaden McDonald at 23, and to be clear, I would not take Kaden McDonald at 23. But I think if you were to do it, you view it as, okay, we get another Jordan Davis body type to a degree. I mean, Jordan Davis is one of the biggest humans in the NFL, but you get like a backup nose tackle for Jordan Davis. And then, you know, if Moro Jomo leaves, like even then, I mean, Moro Jomo is such a good pass rusher. Like Moro Jomo can't do what Jordan Davis does. I think you're hoping Ty Robinson can do some of what Jordan Davis does eventually. But even he, again, we talked about his first year was not great. So Kaden McDonald, taking a central nose tackle at 23 that offers limited upside as a pass rusher, it is more of a run defender. Just don't love that. Now, Peter Woods of Clemson, the other guy, it seems like some Jamax drafts have him going in the first round does offer more from a pass rush perspective, but still not like a pass rushing defensive tackle stud. So gets the baby emoji, 21.3 years old, 62, 298 pounds in 35 games in college. He finished with 84 tackles, 14 and a half tackles for a loss, five sacks, two force fumbles and two pass deflection. So again, the pass deflections, getting his hands up in the air, two force fumbles, much like Kaden McDonald's like noteworthy, five sacks almost twice as many as McDonald in one fewer game, 14 and a half tackles for a loss. So he's getting the backfield a little bit more than Kaden McDonald. The scouting report, vnfl.com, quote, Woods is a young interior defender with room to add play strength as he fills out his frame. He's not a pure one or two gap fit, but he's capable in both schemes. He plays with good lower body explosiveness into initial contact, keeping his hands and feet synced to work around blocks when needed. He's more of an active brawler than a double team eating tree stump. Shorter arms allow blockers to crowd his frame and force him to fight harder at the point. Yet his ability to overtake and win as the rep progresses is impressive. He lacks quick, quick win talent as a solo rusher and he's, but he's fully functional as a part, as a part of a pocket collapse, collapsing collective. I butchered that sentence. Let me reread it. He lacks quick win talent as a solo rusher, but he's fully functional as part of a pocket collapsing collective. His 2024 tape might be a better representation of his upside, but Woods clearly has the potential to become a solid starter and an even front. So watching him, reading about him, not just in thenafell.com, but in the beast and everything just seems like he has more upside potential as a pass rusher. I really like hearing he's good with his hands already, good with his feet. He's part of a pass rush group that does it together. Like just feels like there's, there's more there. So again, wouldn't take him at 23, but I think if I had to pick between Cade and McDonald of Ohio State and Peter Woods, I would pick Peter Woods. So this next group is probably where you're looking more in the second round. It seems again, it's a tough class to get a read on because you look at the first round, it seems like it'll be tackle heavy. It'll be receiver heavy. I think obviously Kenyon Sidickel go, you'll see some corners go maybe two quarter backs. So I do think defensive tackles will get pushed down the board and you might get guys at 54 that in other years, maybe you're getting in the first round. Let's talk about Caleb Banks from Florida who with some injury concerns could definitely fall. So 23.1 years old. So he gets the old man emoji, especially compared to some of these other prospects, but six, six, 327 pounds gets the tree emoji and impressive numbers, 48 tackles. So lower compared to the other two, but 10 and a half tackles for a loss, six and a half sacks, three force fumbles and one pass deflection in 35 games. So got the tree emoji, got the old man emoji. He gets the ambulance emoji, which we'll talk about in a second, but he also gets a speed emoji because there's something in here in his scouting report and not just in this one, but in a lot of them that I really liked about him. So quote at the NFL.com big frame, long-limbed and tiered defender whose play needs more polish to consistently match his traits. Banks has a quick first step. He can stun control single blocks when his handshakes are timely and accurate, but he needs faster disengagement to increase his tackle count. His high center of gravity allows double teams to generate displacement. So a move to odd front end could be in his best interest as a run defender, like a grappler without submission knowledge. Banks is still learning to unlock his physical advantage so he can turn them into sacks. His traits and flashes at the senior bowl, making him an imitating prospect, but injury concerns are potential stumbling block for him. So really like what I hear in there. Quick first step. So huge and so big for the Eagles. They really value it. So he gets the speed emoji. I also like that it seems like there's a lot to work with there. Like I said, 663 27 in there. Seems like he has some work with his hands, but needs to get better at it. I'm giving him the upside emoji, which makes him ding, ding, a five emoji player. The concern is he suffered, he suffered a broken, but, but he's suffered a broken bone in his foot at the combine requiring surgery. So there's an obvious medical concern there and he's had foot issues as well. So when you're that size, that heavy and you have foot problems, that's a concern for me. So I like the player. I like the upside. I like the physical build a bit on the older side at 23, but the broken foot definitely, definitely a concern there. Next up, Christian Miller out of Georgia, 21.7 years old gets the, gets the baby emoji. 64, 321 pounds. Big dude gets the tree emoji. 64 tackles and 43 college games to go along with 11 and a half tackles for a loss. Four sacks, zero force fumbles and one past deflection. The scouting report quote, Miller is an even front nose tackle who can rattle pads and gain early advantages at the point of attack. He has good sack stack and shed against single blocks, but lacks the prototypical mass of a space eater. He will lose his anchor to double teams and strong angle blocks at times. He's average at matching lateral movement off the snap, but is generally aware of play design and hustles across gaps to squeeze run lanes. He'll continue to bulk up and should become a good starter who is more consistent than dominant along the interior. So gets the nose emoji. That's going to be his position, 321 pounds. I just again, and this is being nitpicky, but like should become a good starter who's more consistent than dominant along the interior. I'll take that guy in the fourth round. I don't know if I'm taking that guy early. So for him, it would be about where you take them, but there's a lot to like, not even 22 decent college numbers in college, big body could be a backup for Jordan Davis with Christian Miller. For me, it's about where you draft him as opposed to the player. I like the player. I just don't like taking maybe a top three round pick on him. All right, this next guy, a four emoji player, one of them is the old man emoji. So you don't love that. But Lee Hunter out of Texas Tech, he'll be 24 for his rookie season. So by the time he hits his second year where he's not going to play much as a rookie, you would think he'll be 25 years old. And that's obviously a concern overall, just because you're getting an older play his second rookie deal, he'll be almost 28. So you don't love that. But insane numbers in college, 173 tackles, 32 and a half tackles for a loss, eight sacks, one force fumble, one pass deflection and 52 games. So obviously, he played way more. He's older, but 32 and a half tackles for a loss. He's someone that's consistently getting in the backfield, eight sacks, the most of anyone we've talked about so far, 64, 318 pounds, really a lot to like about him as a player. It's just the age that would be the concern. So the scouting report on him, quote, Hunter is a two gap, two gapping nose tackle for odd or even fronts. He has the size, strength and length to do battle in the heart of the trenches, but requires better block take on technique to sit firmer in his grass. He won't win in the gaps, but he can stack and shed single blocks or slide and stabilize his run fit against zone blocks. Hunter's girth and length are advantages when aligning over the center as a run defender. He doesn't have enough quickness or skill as a rusher to see many passing downs, but he can dent the pocket with his power. Hunter projects as an early down space eater who can make interior offensive linemen work for their gaps. So if you've listened to me long enough, I think you know exactly what I don't like in here, which is he doesn't have enough quickness or skill as a rusher to see many passing downs. So again, it comes down to like where you're drafting him. An older player, so you're not going to get as many years out of him. You want him to play sooner because he is older. He's older. He's probably more pro ready than some of these other guys, but if he can't get after the quarterback, that's a concern for me. So maybe a backup nose tackle for Jordan Davis, the 32 and a half tackles for a loss is very compelling. He's clearly getting into the backfield and bringing players down. But if we can't play on third down, I just don't love that. So you could draft him as a backup, but as like a guy that could be a starter in 27, I don't think this is that guy. All right. Grayson Halton out of Oklahoma, three emoji player and a good set of emojis technique gets the karate emoji fast, get the speed emoji and then just 22 just turned 22. So the baby emoji as well, 63, 293 pounds, pretty good size, size there close to the, close to the tree emoji lean players. You can see 63, not even 300 pounds, 84 tackles, 17 and a half tackles for a loss, eight and a half sacks, good number, three, fours fumbles, two pass deflections and 47 games. The scouting report, quote, an undersized three technique with disrupt disruptive attributes. Halton is best suited for a rotational role in a movement based front. He plays with sink tans and feet and good lateral agility. Really like that. His initial quickness makes him quite slippery, but a centered block can clear him from the run lane due to his lack of mass slash anchor. So he's got to put on weight. He's an energetic gap to gap rusher who can threaten guards on their edges or play his roles in effective twister. Finding the right scheme will be critical for Halton in the NFL end quote. So again, a lot to like there, right? Good with his hands, good lateral agility, can win at the line of scrimmage, sounds like he needs to put on weight. Ironically, they just worked with the defensive tackle and Jordan Davis needed to lose weight, but I do think Eagles have shown an ability to develop well, shown an ability to get the best, like in develop players bodies in the way they need to. So Grayson Halton for me is definitely an intriguing prospect. Going to give him the star emoji. The more I think about it. So I would like him in like a fifth ish round pick, fourth round pick, wouldn't take him early for all the reasons we've discussed, but as a mid round pick, I like the upside. All right. On the other side, we're going to keep this going with a few more defensive tackles and one of my, if not, my favorite defensive tackle prospect in the draft. Let's talk about Caleb Proctor, but the defensive tackle, not the offensive tackle. So we'll get into that on the other side, but first a word from our sponsors. Okay. So if you've been following this draft cycle, you've been listening to the pod, reading mock drafts, really paying attention at all, you know about Proctor, the offensive tackle prospect, Caden Proctor, the offensive tackle prospect, a real possibility for the Eagles as their first pick in this draft class, especially if they move up, they stay there. He checks a lot of boxes, right? So obviously we're not talking about Caden Proctor, but let's talk about Caleb Proctor, the defensive tackle out of southeastern Louisiana, maybe my favorite defensive tackle prospect in this draft class. So clearly you hear where he plays college, like the competition, he's not playing it like a big SEC school, but 21.9 years old gets the baby emoji, six, two, 291 pounds, definitely a bit undersized and a bit light, but his college production, 134 tackles, 26 tackles for a loss, 16 sacks, two force fumbles and two pass deflections, really, really like that. And ultimately what I think you're getting with him is a special athlete that can rush the passer. I think probably can move to the outside. You look at position versatility there our first time putting the position versatility emoji for any of these defensive tackle prospects. Let's talk about the scouting report. Quote, NFL.com. As an interior defender, Proctor is an elite athlete with rare playmaking range. He's an elusive rusher with an explosive first step in the ability to unlock openings with varied approaches and angles. He's also very undersized with limited recourse once Lyman have him squared up and put hands on him. He lacks the anchor or contact balance to withstand power. Proctor needs to find a fit in a move based defensive front where he can try to mismatch interior protection with his quickness and athletic gifts. End quote. So clearly just big buzzwords in there. Elite athlete, elusive rusher, explosive first step, quickness, athletic gifts like this is the type of defensive practice, defensive tackle I'm drafting to try to replace Moro Jomo. He can get after the quarterback. He has the body type of Moro Jomo a little lighter than Moro Jomo Moro. Well, actually exact same weight as Moro Jomo. And I think has upside obviously as a, as a pass rusher. So Kayla Proctor again depends where you draft him. But man, you could even convince me for a third rounder on this guy. Like I think he has upside, upside, upside all the physical gifts you want to see. And I think is the best Moro Jomo replacement in this draft. All right. Next up, completely opposite end of the spectrum as a player, Dominique Orange out of Iowa State 22, just turned 22 years old gets the baby emoji. But we're talking about a nose tackle here that will back up Jordan Davis, six to 322 pounds, 66 tackles, seven tackles for a loss, one sack, zero force fumbles, two pass deflection. So one sack, seven tackles for a loss. But six to 322, the scouting report, according to NFL.com quote, Orange is a sturdy nose tackle capable of muddying the middle of the field with this first step, step, quickness, you like that, and take on power. His reaction time makes it hard to reach block to reach block him and zone, and he has the anchor to play landlord over the A gaps against double teams. He gets bounced around on contact, but is excellent in recovery and winning the final phase of the rep. Orange is a non factors a pass rusher, but he values his value versus the run should attract teams end quote. So I'd like to quick first step, you know, at six to 322 having a quick first step, definitely noteworthy, but a backup nose tackle. This is someone I am taking later, later on in the draft. All right. Next up, one of the biggest players in the draft at this position, Daryl Jackson Jr. out of Florida State, just about to be 23. So he'll play his rookie season at 23 years old, 24 his second year. I'm giving him the old man emoji because I just, that feels on the older side. Six, six, 315 pounds. So big body here. And it's 663 15 like kind of lean and you look, he looks a little lean 129 tackles, 12 tackles for a loss, seven and a half sacks, one force fumble, two past deflections. So a little low on the past deflection there. Scouting report quote, he's an enormous interior presence with impressive physical features. Jackson's, sorry, while he's an enormous interior, enormous interior presence with impressive physical features, Jackson's inconsistencies are partially rooted in flawed fundamentals and technique. He plays two upright and with inconsistent base width slash block take on, making him more easily cleared from gaps. He might never become a tree stump at the point, but he could see vast improvement in his shedding control with quicker hands, improved upper body power and a full time move to odd end front. The tape is even is uneven with a floor of average backup, but Jackson's size and length could be considered unmind gold by some teams. End quote. So gets the upside emoji. You like that the tree emoji big guy, a little older. And what I like in there is that, and I like from the other scouting reports as well, feels like there's room to grow there. When you're 663 15 pounds, you just have special physical attributes than other guys don't like Dominique Orrin's out of Ohio State might come and be a better NFL quick, a better NFL player quicker. Cause what he does is easier, but Daryl, Daryl Jackson to me at 663 15 is someone you want to, to draft late. Like remember that clip of Howie last year when he was talking about later rounds and he was saying, you know, basically what we look for are big swings and I'm paraphrasing, right? Like they're looking to draft starters. You can find backups everywhere in the NFL. You can find them on practice squad. You can find them as UDFAs. When you're using a draft pick on someone, you want him to have the upside of a starter. And I think Daryl Jackson, because of his size, because of his quickness, because of what he, you know, you just read everything about him seems like he checks that box. So I am in on Daryl Jackson as a later round pick. All right, a few more here. Rashaun Benny out of Michigan, almost 24 years old. So 25 for his rookie season gets the old man emoji. 63, 298 pounds, 107 tackles, 12 tackles for a loss, four sacks, one force fumble, five past deflections, quote, NFL.com. Benny is a tricky evaluation as a three technique. He has good length and is consistent entering into block battles. He's an effective two-gapper who locates the ball carrier and quickly sheds on the flip side. He's not a true wide body and struggles to drop a sudden anchor when challenged by downhill double teams. He lacks ideal explosiveness and is unlikely to meet much of a disruptor. Benny is capable of competing for backup roles as an early down and tier lineman who can play in one or two gapping front. So don't really love the player. You know, maybe he's a late round pick if you just think you played a big time program and and could be a run stopper, but he's not even 300 pounds. So don't really love that. The last two players that when looking around at scouting reports stood out to me, Zayn Durant out of Penn State, just about to be 22. What stood out to me is 10 sacks and 54 games. So he gets after the quarterback. He is again a Moro Jumbo type of replacement. And then Brandon Cleveland from North Carolina State, not even 22 years old, six, three, 200, 307 pounds, six sacks, which stands out. So I like both of their ability to get after the quarterback as a defensive tackle position. So overall, I'm not taking a defensive tackle early in this draft. I think some guys you look at as potential like intriguing options late, Caleb Banks, but there's the injury history there. You know, Caleb Proctor, obviously who I really liked, I think could be like a third or fourth round pick and Grayson Holton from Oklahoma. I liked as well. So it'll be about finding a Moro Jumbo replacement. It'll be about finding a body type that can back up Jordan Davis. And it'll be about probably not using a high pick on defensive tackle. So that'll do it for today's for today's draft pod. Only two more positions left, which is kind of sad. We got cornerback and linebacker. So looking forward to talking about those. So go out, enjoy your day. And I'll talk to you guys soon. Until next time, he's Elliott. I'm James. Talk to you guys later. My family has more fun about Disney World. Like me, Papa, he's super serious. But since he met Goofy, he's been laughing all day. Or my sister. I never thought she'd try out the fast rides. But Space Mountain was her favorite. And me, I didn't think anything could feel so special. The memories made at Walt Disney World Resort. That's pura magia.
