Episode Summary

It's Big Butt time! Chris (@CSimmsQB) and Ahmed (@ahmedNBC) hit the DT portion of our 2023 Draft rankings series. Also, is there a chance the Texans DON'T take a QB at No. 2 overall?

Episode Notes

(5:20) Chris and Ahmed look back at some of the Big Butts who slipped through the cracks, Big Butt Busts, and explain the different roles and positioning of defensive linemen

(27:00) #1 DT Jalen Carter (Georgia): “He is the best defensive player in the Draft.”

(38:15) BetMGM 1st Defensive Player Drafted Odds: Should Jalen Carter be the first defensive player off the board? And could the Texans be the team that surprises with a defender at #2?

(44:00) #2 DT Calijah Kancey (Pitt): “I watch him and think, there’s no way he didn’t work with Aaron Donald on that move. It’s Tasmanian devil type stuff”

(1:03:00) #4 DT Mazi Smith (Michigan): “The big dancing bear of this draft, but too good of a player to not dominate more”

(1:11:00) #5 DT Adetomiwa Adebawore (Northwestern): “His game is about explosion and disruption”
