00:00That is Travion Henderson goes to the Patriots.
00:03So a little bit of a surprise there.
00:05Wide receivers still a need for them, obviously,
00:07but give me Travion Henderson.
00:08So Henderson will be a changeup to Ramondre Stevens-Boward.
00:12Stevenson, by the way, could handle third down,
00:14but he's not explosive.
00:15Getting explosive playmaker with Henderson.
00:17I like this pick.
00:19Now they've got two backs.
00:20They could have a two-back system,
00:21but they still need, Mike, wide receivers right now.
00:24There's no question, but that is a major need for them.
00:26Running back was really not a need,
00:27but they needed explosiveness in the backfield.
00:30I get that.
00:30I get what they did.
00:31Obviously, we had an opportunity to talk about Judkins and Henderson
00:34and the duo that they were both, obviously,
00:37very talented backs going high in the draft
00:39and high in the second round.
00:41Their stats were very close,
00:43both over 1,000 yards on the season,
00:45both double-digit touchdowns for the Buckeyes this past season.
00:49As you said earlier, Judkins, a little bit of a bigger back,
00:52can probably sustain a little bit more punishment at the NFL level,
00:55but Henderson should not be doubted in the level of talent
00:59that he brings to the table.
01:00And as you said, a huge change of pace,
01:02and I would suspect ultimately the lead back on the Patriots
01:05with Stevenson filling in for him long-term.
01:09That'll be decided, but I do want to make one point.
01:11A runbacks coach told me, and it wasn't even close,
01:13Henderson was by far the best pass-protective back for this draft.
01:18Now, Stevenson, we know, Mike, is pretty good on third down,
01:20so they're going to have to make a decision.
01:21But long-term, Mike, you selected back the second round,
01:26today's NFL, it generally started at some point
01:28over the rookie contract.
