00:00 Patriots Daily is brought to you by FanDuel, the exclusive wedgering partner of the CLNS

00:04 media network.

00:06 So I think with Caleb Williams, it was...

00:13 Compared to expectations, it was disappointing.

00:14 He was the reigning Heisman winner, USC was coming in with all this talent, he was supposed

00:19 to compete for national championship.

00:21 Now, the main reason USC didn't compete for national championship was their defense.

00:25 128th, 133rd in the nation, they were ass.

00:29 Technical term, ass defense.

00:31 It was bad.

00:32 Yes, that's right.

00:34 That's not Caleb Williams' fault at all.

00:36 He scored the points, he put up the numbers.

00:38 Did have 10 fewer touchdowns than last year, threw as many interceptions in two less games.

00:44 I think it's one thing to be a true sophomore transfer who probably wasn't that...

00:52 People knew Caleb Williams was good, but he was not a Heisman, not in the Heisman contention

00:57 that started last year.

00:59 For MTEV the season he had, it was kind of going to be all up because the expectations

01:05 really weren't that enormous.

01:07 Whereas this year, they were talking about him being generational and he was very, very,

01:13 very, very good, but he didn't hit those expectations.

01:17 I still think as we get ready for what I call the true pre-draft process, which is the games

01:24 are the games, the season is the season.

01:25 Right now we'll start doing the senior bowl, the combine, pro days, interviews, meetings,

01:30 all of that.

01:31 It's a pre-draft process.

01:32 As we go into the process, he is still the best quarterback in this draft.

01:35 I do truly believe that.

01:36 I think he showed a lot of talent.

01:37 I think the flaws he showed last year or the flaws he showed this past season were also

01:43 apparent last year.

01:45 We just weren't focused on them because we were so wowed by what he was doing.

01:51 Once we became accustomed to him doing some of that Patrick Mahomes stuff, you dig a little

01:54 deeper.

01:55 Yeah.

01:56 He gets a little fluster in the pocket.

01:57 He doesn't always set his feet, things like that.

02:00 They're all coachable issues.

02:02 No prospect is perfect.

02:03 I say that all the time.

02:05 I would rather try to fix what Caleb Williams needs fixed than what any other quarterback

02:09 in this draft needs fixed.

02:10 Or some of them have things that simply can't be fixed.

02:12 Right.

02:13 My penchant, right.

02:14 We'll get to Jane.

02:18 But I, did he, if he hurt his stock to me, it's because he opened the door for Marvin

02:25 Harrison jr.

02:26 To go one, one, which I still don't think will happen.

02:28 I think even if the bears were going to take Marvin Harrison jr.

02:31 One, one, they would sell that pick and then use whatever they get back for that.

02:35 Plus three to move up to two and take Harrison.

02:37 I still think Caleb Williams ultimately goes one, one.

02:39 I just think this year the shine was off.

02:43 He was a known commodity and it was easier to dig a little bit deeper.

02:47 So still love him as a player.

02:50 Definitely.

02:51 There's things he needs to work on.

02:52 I felt that way before the season.

02:54 I still feel that way.

02:55 I just think those things were emphasized a little more in, in this year than they were

03:00 last year.
