Dane Brugler

this stuff for it.

So his favorite draft analyst is Dane Brugler from The

Athletic.

That's absolutely true.

And they do the athletic football shows.

This is Dane Brugler and his co-host Dave Hellman.

And the topic of Austin Simmons came up.

This is like two or three minutes.

But those first three quarters, it didn't look good.

We have a real... problem in national media the way we talk and evaluate college quarterbacks another one uh i was listening to dane brugler today building the beast very smart guy i think he's one of the best draft analysts out there

dane brugler i don't know who that is

very smart guy he is a he's a draft guru and i think he does his work unlike some people i think he actually watches a lot of tape and gives you an honest opinion i respect his opinion he certainly watches way more film than i do And so when he listens, I, or when he talks, I tend to listen.

Drew Mestemaker.

After week one, Dane Brugler went on, does building the beast every week with the athletic guys.

He simply said, here's a kid in Mestemaker that did not play high school football.

He played at, at North Texas and he's clearly overwhelmed.

At this point, it's just a little dry.

We're waiting on ESPN and Dane Brugler and these guys to kind of drop a new mock draft, but eventually that will kind of take the place of this so you don't have to hear our thoughts.

You'll hear our thoughts bouncing off of someone else's mock draft.

But nonetheless, mock draft feature is a part of each and every week.

I'm good.

What's going on, man? Let's spend a few minutes talking about how good Austin Simmons looks, huh? We listen to Dane Brugler, draft expert for the Athletic.

Just rave about him.

And, you know, he graduated college when he was 19.

Yeah, I mean, in CBS Sports rankings of quarterbacks, he went from 30 to 10 this week.

I just saw there's a clip out there with Dane Brugler talking about him, NFL draft eligible next year.

People are noticing, and you watch him play.

You watch him throw the football.

Drew Mestemaker.

After week one, Dane Brugler went on, does Building the Beast every week with the athletic guys.

He simply said, here's a kid in Mestemaker that did not play high school football.

He played at North Texas, and he's clearly overwhelmed.

And if you remember, he started the 2024 season as the preseason favorite to win defensive rookie of the year.

And here's what Dane Brugler wrote in The Beast in 2024 about Dallas Turner.

Turner is a long, explosive edge rusher with body twitch, hand usage, and play strength to leverage blocks and be disruptive in multiple ways.

He has the freaky tools to be a potential impact player in the NFL who should continue to improve as his body and rush attack mature.
