00:00who will end out the second round
00:03and pick number 64,
00:05the birds drafting the Texas safety.
00:08What's the thought philosophy behind him, Cap?
00:10All right, so they had him in for a pre-jet visit.
00:12It was going to be, as I understand,
00:13it was either going to be him or Xavier Watts,
00:15but Makuba's a better athlete.
00:17Excellent ball skills.
00:18The one issue with him, Ben,
00:19is he's got a small frame.
00:21When you look at him, you say,
00:22well, 185, is that small?
00:23No, but it's his bones.
00:27They're just, he's not really thick.
00:28So the hope is he can put some weight on,
00:30but he's got great ball skills.
00:32This is an excellent value.
00:33Howie Roseman doing it again.
00:35It was a need.
00:35Remember, Sidney Brown,
00:37who was a third rounder a couple years ago,
00:38had the ACL injury.
00:39He only really contributed on special teams last season.
00:42Three blank ships, one of their clear starting safeties.
00:44Now they got the other one in Andrew Makuba.
00:46And CJ Gardner-Johnson,
00:47no longer there in Philadelphia.
00:49Andrew Makuba finds his way in cap.
00:52When you think about how Howie Roseman constructs his team,
00:55especially with those young defensive stars,
00:57because they're on those rookie contracts,
01:00it's how he can pay all of those big money extensions
01:02to everybody else.
01:03It's part of the roster building philosophy
01:05that might be a little bit lost on fans,
01:07but it's something that Howie Roseman excels at.
01:10Yeah, and what happened,
01:11it's really funny, Ben,
01:12this year, because Eagle fans were not happy.
01:14Milton Williams walked, got a big deal.
01:16They lost a number of free agents,
01:17but they're probably going to get
01:18four compensatory picks next year.
01:20So right now, Ben,
01:21if they get the four like they think,
01:23they're going to have 12 draft picks.
01:24That's crazy.
01:25Jahad Campbell, the second-to-last pick
01:27of the opening round last night,
01:29the linebacker out of Alabama,
01:31the final pick of round number two,
01:33Andrew Makuba, the safety out of Texas.
