I've spent more 20 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: time with them. We've had a chance to look at 21 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: guys in OTA's and mini camps, and we want to 22 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: talk about some. 23 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 3: Of the deep sleepers. Right. We we know about the 24 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 3: obvious guys. We want to drill deeper. 25 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: And you weren't yet on the show at this time 26 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: last year, Thor. But it had you been on this show, 27 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: you'd have been talking up pookin Akua, because when you 28 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: did get on the show. 29 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 3: In August, you were talking to Pooka Nakula. 30 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, banging the drum. We're gonna bang the drum 31 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 5: for some guys today. I can't promise that they'll become 32 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 5: Pooka Nakula, but they are guys that to be monitoring 33 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 5: that could fit, you know, yeah, jumping off really quickly. 34 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: There almost can't be another Pookinakua. That's I mean, you 35 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: could go a lot, you go ten years and there's 36 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: just not another rookie fifth rounder who does what he 37 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: did last year for sure. 38 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 3: And that's not your fault. That's just like the math. 39 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 5: Yeah right, yeah, I mean like almost a once in 40 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 5: a lifetime think you're not going to get a Day 41 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 5: three guy shattering all the NFL records again as a rookie. 42 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 5: But I think we got some guys in here we 43 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 5: can point people to where they can get really really 44 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 5: good values on them because they're being overlooked in fantasy 45 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 5: drafts right now. 46 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: So going through your list of guys everybody were going 47 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,919 Speaker 1: to talk about in rookie drafts are going at least 48 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: at eighty P eighteen or higher. Most of these guys 49 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: are going in the twenties and thirties or even forties 50 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: of rookie drafts. Rookie drafts correct, So these are all deep. 51 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: These are deep, right, right, So we're not expecting every 52 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: one of these guys to hit. And also, these guys 53 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: all have warts, right, I mean, if they didn't have 54 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: any warts, they wouldn't be at you know, eighty, you know, 55 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: the rookie ADP wouldn't be thirty five thou right, So 56 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: you know, keep it, you know, keep that in mind 57 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: as we're talking through this. We'll we'll talk about some 58 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: of the good and bad for all of these guys, 59 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: and we'll do it by position or let's beget a quarterback. 60 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: It goes without saying for anybody who allowed here for 61 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: the last year, JJ McCarthy his rookie ADP is eighteen. 62 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: So this is the most highly ranked of anybody we're 63 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: gonna talk about in this set. 64 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 5: The only first round that we're going to. But of course, 65 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 5: you know, again I had to sneak the man, you. 66 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: Know, any chance to talk about jjmrect But let me 67 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: set the Let me set the table this way. Almost 68 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: everything we're hearing out of the Vikings from both externally 69 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: that they're saying openly to the media and everything i'm 70 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: hearing back channel, everything that is being discussed in the media. 71 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: They all say the Vikings are going to take their 72 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: time on JJ McCarthy. And there's a very real scenario 73 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: where Sam Darnold, now surrounded by the best talent of 74 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: his life, has a long runway here. So talk to 75 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: me about what you if a do you disagree with 76 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: any of that, because you're welcome to and there could 77 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 1: be a lot of smoke screen here and it could 78 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: be the JJ McCarthy just too good to leave on 79 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: the bench. What how if you were to if I 80 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: were to put a weak number on when JJ McCarthy 81 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: starts this year, if at all, what do you. 82 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 4: Think before the midway point of the season. 83 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: Okay, they got a buy in week six, I'll mention that. 84 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 4: But I think it could be right around then. 85 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 5: Okay, that's where I put it on your good you know, 86 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 5: And they're the way that they're conveying this to the 87 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 5: public gets the right way. You're being deferential to a veteran, 88 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 5: but also a veteran who is literal real life friends 89 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 5: with the quarterback coach is very they played together with 90 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 5: the Jets, very friendly with the head coach, and they 91 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 5: brought him in. You know, they sold him on this idea, 92 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 5: Darnold I'm talking about of you know, revitalizing his career, 93 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 5: et cetera. I would expect him to get that first opportunity, 94 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 5: but I don't think it's the lock that other people 95 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 5: do that McCarthy doesn't. You know, either start week one 96 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 5: or shortly thereafter, you need to get the if you're 97 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 5: the Vikings, you need to get the referendum on JJ 98 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 5: McCarthy this coming season. You need to know if he's 99 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 5: the answer for a year two. So he going to 100 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 5: be starting for at least half that season. I think 101 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 5: a little bit more than that, and I think that 102 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 5: they're going to give him at least a shot in 103 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 5: camp right now. They're modulating his footwork into longer throws 104 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 5: and then the throws down the sideline. Something we talked 105 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 5: about during the pre draft process about how JJ loves 106 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 5: to come over the top with that exaggerated lead step. 107 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 5: The kids got a bazooka, but a lot of the 108 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 5: throws they're bullet type throws like that down when you're 109 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 5: going down the field, you want to deduct some of 110 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 5: the velocity for trajectory, arch, touch, et cetera. That's what 111 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 5: they're working on him with right now. How quickly will 112 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 5: that take? Will that take by mid August late August 113 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 5: to give him a shot early in the season to 114 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 5: potentially see the field or do they want to go 115 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 5: a little bit slower. But either way, I think we're 116 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 5: gonna see JJ out there quick. 117 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: Viking schedule is opening schedule before that Week six spy, 118 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: It's it's pretty darn tough and that could factor into this. 119 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: If the Vikings are looking at one in five rolling 120 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: into that buy, that might. 121 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: Be it, right. 122 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 4: I think that would be it, yeah, for sure. 123 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 5: And with McCarthy, we talked about this around the draft 124 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 5: of you have the best supporting cast of certainly any 125 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 5: quarterback that got taken in this class. Some people think 126 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 5: it's the best of the past twenty five years of 127 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 5: a first round rookie going in there. You have that, 128 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 5: but with McCarthy you have the arm town as well. 129 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 5: But I think the fantasy community is sleeping on the 130 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 5: athleticism and the amount of value they could get from 131 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 5: his legs. Sixth fastest three cone regardless of position at 132 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 5: the NFL. Combine also ran a four four eight forty 133 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 5: at Michigan. He would have run in the four fourth 134 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 5: had he run he did run during the pre draft process. 135 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 5: Didn't need to go in the top ten. But those 136 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 5: legs will add value as well at the next level. 137 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: And that's something nobody's really talking about, is JJ McCarthy 138 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: is somebody that's gonna chip in twenty five thirty forty 139 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: rushing yards per game, and that is that is possible 140 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: for him. Kevin O'Connell doesn't have a history of calling 141 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: designed quarterback runs and he obviously with Kirk Cousins you 142 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't do that, But weirdly, he also didn't do it 143 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: with Josh Dobbs and that was like the only thing 144 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: Josh Jobs could do was run, and O'Connell still. 145 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 3: Didn't do it. 146 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: So you know, I don't know where the running is 147 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: going to settle in, but McCarthy's got. 148 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 3: The ability to do that. 149 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,119 Speaker 1: Let me just mention the Vikings opening schedule here before 150 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: the buye. They're a pick them against the Giants in 151 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: Week one, and then it's all bad, bad news after 152 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: that Niners. Week two Texans. I've got the Texans, as 153 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: my AFC Super Bowl team tells you how I feel 154 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: about them. Then they go at lambeau Field. Then they've 155 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: got the Jets and the best maybe the best defense 156 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: in the league, and then they go into their by. 157 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: So if you know, even if they win that game 158 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: against the Giants, the probability in the betting line would 159 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: suggest this team's rolling into their Week six by at 160 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: one and four. 161 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 5: I think it would be JJ time at that point. 162 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 5: And I totally agree with that breakdown as well. Also, 163 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 5: you know what I mean, the kid just turned twenty one. 164 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 5: He was twenty win Michigan won the national title. There's 165 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 5: no reason to rush this and and I don't think 166 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 5: the Vikings will. But I again like, I think he's 167 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 5: going to be prove himself to be a better quarterback 168 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 5: than Darnold. 169 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: In short order, give me the deep dynasty pick that 170 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: you've got a quarterback. 171 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. 172 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 5: So we this year in the draft, we had of course, 173 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 5: as everyone knows, we had the sixth goal right away, 174 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 5: but then after that, after the sixth Bonnecks was taken, 175 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 5: we didn't have another run. End of the first round, 176 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 5: second round, third round, four or fourth round half. 177 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 4: So there was this enormous weight. 178 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 5: Once we got to the fifth round, the New Orleans 179 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 5: Saints end up taking Spencer Rattler for dynasty owners, That's 180 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 5: a guy that I would monitor. He's only behind car 181 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 5: right now. And then nominally Jay Cayner. Spencer Ratler is 182 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 5: a better quarterback than Jay Cayner. Spencer Ratler people might forget. 183 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 5: He was the top quarterback in his recruiting class coming 184 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 5: out and the first hand picked high school quarterback that 185 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 5: it ever started for Lincoln Riley. As a red shirt 186 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 5: freshman at Oklahoma, Spencer Rattler was absolutely incredible. People were 187 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 5: putting him as like the two early mocks, as the 188 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 5: number one pick in the draft. 189 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 4: The next year was when Kayleb Williams gets the town 190 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 4: and the whole thing got blown up. 191 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 5: Then Spencer Ratler transfers to South Carolina, where they had 192 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 5: one of the worst pass blocking offensive lines in the 193 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 5: entire country. 194 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 3: It was unreal. 195 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: I was trying to evaluate Spencer Rattler for the draft 196 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: thor you can't find a clean pocket for him to 197 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: just set up, And I'm just asking myself, what does 198 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 1: Spencer Ratler do in a clean pocket. When he's setting 199 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: up and he's throwing more than three yards downfield and 200 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: there's like. 201 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 3: No plays like that, the guy was just getting. 202 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 4: Murdered back there thousand percent. 203 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 5: Last time we saw it was during that red shirt 204 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 5: freshman year in twenty twenty at Oklahoma. He was number four. 205 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 5: Spencer Ratler was in the nation that year with a 206 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 5: ninety two point five PFF grade, which is sick led 207 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 5: the FBS and PFF big time throws under pressure and 208 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 5: passing grade out of structure. That gets back to what 209 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 5: hisar Rattler is similar ish in this regard to Bryce Young, 210 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 5: a guy who likes the field spread back in shotgun 211 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 5: so he can see the whole thing, and then he 212 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 5: likes to maneuver around to buy a little time, change 213 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 5: the launch angles and stuff like that. When you're moving around, 214 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 5: but you have a terrible sieve of an offensive line 215 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 5: that is immediately allowing pressure, your game is going to create, 216 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 5: which it did for Ratler at the beginning of twenty 217 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 5: twenty two. He figured it out the last three or 218 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 5: four games of that season, ripped up Clemson, ripped up 219 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 5: Notre Dame. He just had a great Tennessee great under 220 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 5: the season, and then this year the offensive line is 221 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 5: still stunk. Most of their guys had transferred out, Marshawn 222 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 5: Lloyd had transferred out. They guys go to the NFL. 223 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 5: Juice Wells gets hurt. He only had Xavier Legett there. 224 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 5: It was Xavier Lagat and pray for rain At helth Carolina. 225 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 5: But he played a lot better this year and going 226 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 5: to the NFL, he's finally going to be playing behind 227 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 5: a competent offensive line. I think that's where you could 228 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 5: see Spencer Ratler's pocket passing talent start to coalesce again. 229 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: All right, so he's he's only behind Derek Carr with 230 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: the Saints. It's not, you know, Derek carrs doesn't exactly 231 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: electrify anybody, you know. I would it surprise me if 232 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: Spencer Rattler is the starter next year. 233 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 4: No, No, not at all. And you think about this 234 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 4: coming season. 235 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 5: If Rattler indeed does beat out Jake Canner, which I 236 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 5: think is well with likely Yeah, and then the Saints 237 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 5: have a disappointing season, you might want to be getting 238 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 5: a look there at Ratler at the end of the season, 239 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 5: even if car doesn't end up getting hurt. 240 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: All right, we'll have to move a little more quickly 241 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: through the rest of our list, but let's go to 242 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: running backs. 243 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 3: Marshawn Lloyd. 244 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: If slots into Green Bay, obviously he's gonna He's got 245 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: a battle for time with Josh Jacobs. He's the USC 246 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: kid via South Carolina. As you mentioned, strong, a little 247 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: on the short side, but he runs upright, making him, 248 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: I think, feel taller than he actually measured at the combine. 249 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 3: I worry a little bit about. 250 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: Whether or not he's got NFL speed, but I like 251 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: the power side of Marshawn Lloyd's game. Talk to me 252 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: a little bit about him and why you think he's 253 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: a good sleeper candidate. 254 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 5: When he first got taken by the Packers, I hated 255 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 5: the landing spot, of course, and it sort of threw 256 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 5: some cold water on it for me, even though I 257 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 5: love the prospect. But thinking about it more and then 258 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 5: hearing from people around the Packers, I think Lloyd is 259 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 5: going to be nipping at Jacobs's heels real quick. Jacob's 260 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 5: contract so he got four years, forty eight million dollars. 261 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 4: What it actually is is a two year, twenty three 262 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 4: point six million. 263 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 3: Dollars, but that's still good running back money. 264 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 4: Still solid running back money. 265 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 5: But the Packers are going to be out of that 266 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 5: thing after next season, after the twenty twenty five season, 267 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 5: and you talk about not having incentive. Potentially you play 268 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 5: the better running back who is younger, if you know 269 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 5: you're gonna cut Jacobs the end of that year, that's 270 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 5: where I think for sure Lloyd ends up bypassing him. 271 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 5: I love Lloyd's talent. Jacobs last year, the way that 272 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 5: he looked out there coming off that three hundred plus 273 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 5: touch season that he'd had the year before. We have 274 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 5: numbers on this going back years and years and years, 275 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 5: and Jacobs appeared to depreciate a little bit. 276 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, last year, he didn't looked like the prior guy. 277 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: We may find out that he was playing her or whatever, 278 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: or just the totality of the Adrian O'Connell offense was 279 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: not good and we had you know, there was even 280 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: worse quarterbacking than that at various times throughout the year 281 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: for Josh Jacobs. 282 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 3: So you can make an excuse. Can you can think that. 283 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs has the right to get better on a 284 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: way better offense, And I think that's probably the case, 285 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: but maybe again a little bit like Spencer Rallert next year, 286 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: who's your starter? 287 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 5: That's it for Dynasty guys in particular, especially because Lloyd 288 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 5: is going at a discomb because of that situation. Right, 289 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 5: but AJ Dillon can be cut at any time, was. 290 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 4: Given very I don't know. 291 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 3: I don't even think. Yeah, I think he could. 292 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 5: Cut this preseason, absolutely yeah, with no pain for the Packers. 293 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 5: So you can already consider Lloyd RB two with a 294 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 5: bullet And again, Jacob's only on that two year deal. 295 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 5: Other thing I'd say is I think Lloyd is a 296 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 5: better early down runner than Josh Jacobs. I think we're Jacobs. 297 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 5: It could become some sort of a time split distribution, 298 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 5: with Lloyd getting a lot more of those early down 299 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 5: type lie around the goal line, short yardage, et cetera. 300 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 5: Initially at Jacobs of course is gonna be on the 301 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 5: field for all the passing downs. He skilled it that, 302 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 5: but that's something to keep an eye on as a 303 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 5: rookie as well. 304 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Kamani Videll. He lands at 305 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: the Chargers intriguing spot. This is the kid from Troy. 306 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: Not many of us were watching Troy football, but they 307 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: brought in Gus Edwards and JK. Dobbins, who who followed 308 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: Greg Roman from Baltimore over here. Roman, you know, had 309 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: been the long time offensive coordinated there prior. 310 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 3: To last year. He's an interesting guy. I like to burst. 311 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: He's a good three down back. He's got better hands 312 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: than any other back on the Chargers roster, and he's 313 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: a good pass protector. Bidell could end up being for 314 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,599 Speaker 1: a factor in the passing. 315 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 3: Game like Week one. He could be somebody who gets 316 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 3: on the field. 317 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 5: That way one thousand percent. Jim Harbaugh, everybody knows his offense. 318 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 5: The ethos is you run on the early downs and 319 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 5: then on third down either you have to get the 320 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 5: conversions you mentioned. Vedell was the best pass blocking back 321 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 5: in this class, so that is the passing down stuff. 322 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 5: I do think he's going to be on the field 323 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 5: on passing downs as a rookie. I also think he 324 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 5: has a decent shot to upset the two veterans ahead 325 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 5: of them, who also are not being given much. That 326 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 5: Chargers don't have a lot invested in those guys, Vdell. 327 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 5: What happened with the Chargers, They were certainly monitoring Blake 328 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 5: Korum during the draft ends up getting taken by the 329 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 5: other Los Angeles team across town. Vedell is about as 330 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 5: close as an animal gam for quorum as you could get. 331 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 5: They're about in the same physical package, but Vedell is 332 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 5: more athletic, was a ninetieth percentile athlete during the pre 333 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 5: draft process, also finished number two last season in the 334 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 5: NCAA and broken tackles, broken tackles. 335 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 4: Force excuse me. 336 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 5: He is very, very tough to square up, and he 337 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 5: runs like a bullet. It's just straightforward, hard charging. He 338 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 5: packs a lot more power into that condensed bowling ball frame. 339 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 4: I think then it sort of sneaks up on defenders. 340 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: I loved both Gus Edwards and JK. Dobbins prior to 341 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: their ACLS. They both, to me looked really, really good, 342 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: and it's it's really sad that the ACLS appeared to 343 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: have sapped the careers out of both of those guys. 344 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 3: Yes, but you know, but that's the nature of this game. 345 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: And Videl's got a chance to make an impact and 346 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: pass those guys on the depth chart, perhaps as early 347 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: again as week one. Absolutely, let's go to audric estime. 348 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: He lands in Denver, a spot I do not like 349 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: in this and what we're gonna end up talking about. Unfortunately, 350 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: because I'm a big Julia McLoughlin guy, I love him 351 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: and so I really I don't want to hear about 352 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: how great estimate is that he may end up passing 353 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: Jaliel because that's kind of my that's kind of my guy. 354 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: But let's talk about the Notre Dame back. 355 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, someone who doesn't like someone a Broncos running back 356 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,479 Speaker 5: as Sean Payton doesn't appear to like Javonte Williams. 357 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 3: And I didn't either. I thought he was bad last year. 358 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 5: So Jalil certainly is going to be on the field, 359 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 5: but he can't be on the field always, right. 360 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 4: There's size limitations. 361 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 5: Right there, and they're not a workhorse back. There's certain 362 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 5: things that are outside of his skill set as well. 363 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 5: Odric Estimate is not competing against Jalio. He is coming 364 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 5: against Javonte Walliams. That that is a guy that he 365 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 5: can beat, and then if that ends up happening, you 366 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 5: get some of the early downlooks, certainly the short yarded 367 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 5: stuff end around the goal line. Estimate is a sledgehammer 368 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 5: of a running back. Is six feet tall, two hundred 369 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 5: and twenty one pounds, runs with a ton of oomf 370 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 5: and power runs over guys. And he was only twenty 371 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 5: years old when he got drafted. These the one thing 372 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 5: he lacks, it's the long speed. You know, around four 373 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 5: to seven or high four to six is type speed. 374 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 5: But what he can do again is grind out those 375 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 5: yards every single time. It's like a Lee Ray Horde thing. 376 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 5: You need one year to get you three years. You 377 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 5: need five yards to get you three years. 378 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 4: That is utteric esime in the NFL. 379 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Tyrone Tracy, who lands in 380 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: a good spot with the Giants. Really not a lot 381 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: of competition there. Singletary's there is the presumed starter. The 382 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: Purdue kid is a converted wide receiver. He's a kick returner. 383 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: He's got this long, loping stride that you don't normally 384 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: see in running backs. And I don't love that part. 385 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: And he's got that slight build. But man, you get 386 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: him an open space and he looks really good. Well, 387 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: everybody looks good and open space, But tell me your 388 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: thoughts on Tyrone Tracy here. 389 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 5: Well, when he gets out into that open space, he 390 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 5: had the ninety eight percentile. He's got all the wheels 391 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 5: in the world four four eight during the pre draft process. 392 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 5: The other thing with him, he had more feel for 393 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 5: running than I would certainly have given him credit for 394 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 5: or thought was possible after he had converted to running 395 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 5: back after unfortunately playing four years at receiver at the 396 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 5: University of Iowa, which. 397 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 3: Doesn't give you a lot of volume. 398 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 5: No, and he was obviously frustrated by both you know, 399 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 5: the amount of targets he was getting and then also 400 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 5: the development he was getting there. But he found his 401 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 5: destiny going to produce switching to running back. Last year's 402 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 5: Purdue team was absolutely awful, and teams, especially the passing 403 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 5: game teams were able to load up against the run. 404 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 5: Despite that, Tyrone Tracy one hundred and sixty three point 405 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 5: five elusive rating four point four to four yards after 406 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 5: contact per attempt. Both of those were the highest of 407 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 5: any of my top thirty ranked running backs in the 408 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 5: last class. Wow, and Tracy can get out into space. 409 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 5: And this is for people out there that play in 410 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 5: leagues where they count kickoff return stats at lower touchdowns. 411 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 5: Another reason to maybe bump Tracy up a little bit 412 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 5: in your rankings. I think he is going to take 413 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 5: over as the kick returner there right away, you have 414 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 5: the new rules. 415 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. 416 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 5: What I like about his running style, I mean this 417 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 5: is the running style thing that goes back into the 418 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 5: kickoffs he had, Like I said, has the decent feel, 419 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 5: runs with the wide base and he can slash over, 420 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 5: you know, sort of bouncy, make people miss the first 421 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 5: guy off the cut, and then he finds his open crease. 422 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 5: That's where you see Tyrone. Tracy hit the burners. Only 423 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 5: Devin Singletary really ahead of him. I don't think much 424 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 5: of Eric Gray. I think Tracy goes in as RB two. 425 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 5: It's a team that might be. They're amid a rebuild 426 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 5: right now. They don't have a ton of loyalty to 427 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 5: Singletary who just came in. I think Tracy again nipping 428 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 5: at his heels early on, and if Singletary gets hurt, 429 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 5: I think Tracy becomes the RB one. 430 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: There your deep dynasty guy, somebody. I really haven't spent 431 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: much time with Dylan Lowby. Dylan Lowby lands in Las Vegas. 432 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 4: Where do he play again? Remind me he played at 433 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 4: New Hampshire and yah. 434 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 3: That's why I did not see a lot of Dylan Lowby. 435 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, he was up there in the FCS. 436 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 5: But the thing that he is really really good at 437 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 5: it's catching the ball. And right now, the Raiders at 438 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 5: running back, you have Samir White. He is a grinder. Yeah, 439 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 5: sort of just the guy, but he's a grinder. Alexander 440 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 5: Madison stings. I'm sorry, mister Madison, if you're out there, 441 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 5: I think Lowby takes over right away as that team's 442 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 5: passing down back. Samir White for sure is going to 443 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 5: have the early downstuff and you're gonna give him all 444 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 5: the handoffs and whatnot. But you need to have Dylan 445 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 5: Lobby on the field on passing downs. He's really, really, 446 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 5: really skilled at that. 447 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so PPR League Dylan Lobby as somebody 448 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: that you can you can throw throw a dart at 449 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,479 Speaker 1: at with a last pick of your Dynasty draft. I 450 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: like Ray Davis, you and I disagree on him, the 451 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: kid from Louisville. You and I've talked about him way 452 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: back shortly after the draft, as I recall what you 453 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: were talking about with Ray Davis and who landed in Buffalo. 454 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: Kid from you Louisville. Was you like that he can 455 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: do everything? You feel like he does everything? Okay, but 456 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: he's not special in anything, and you have to have 457 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: some special traits to succeed in the NFL. 458 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 3: I think he's really good at everything. 459 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 4: You know. 460 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: I think he's like an eight out of ten at everything. 461 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: He's just not a nine or a ten. 462 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 3: And I think there's going to. 463 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: Be a role for Ray Davis to play, and perhaps 464 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: at the goal line, because James Cook is really he's 465 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: not a power back, and Ray Davis can. 466 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 3: He can really give you some oomph. And I like 467 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 3: this kid and well and. 468 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: Buffalo is just based on the wide receivers, they're going 469 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 1: to have to do more with their running backs than 470 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: they did last year. 471 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 5: Absolutely, yeah, and that is a role that I could 472 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 5: see him taking over pretty early. On My nitpick with 473 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 5: Davis was more the lack of ceiling and at that 474 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 5: position in the draft, I would be swinging for the 475 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 5: fences every single time. But to your point, Thank he's 476 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 5: solid to good at almost every metric that you would 477 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 5: look at running back play. It's just you don't have 478 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 5: this special athleticism, you don't have some of. 479 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 4: The special trades. 480 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 5: But for a guy what they're looking for behind Cook, 481 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 5: I think he could absolutely fit the bill this year. 482 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: Let's take a break through and we come back. Let's 483 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: talk about some of your favorite rookie sleepers at the 484 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: wide receiver and tight end position.

Gullantine Leagues coming your way soon. 495 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: Let's go to the wide receiver position, Thor. We've got 496 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: some deep sleepers, beginning with Roman Wilson, currently going off 497 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: the board in antasy drafts as pick number twenty one 498 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: in Rookie Dynasty drafts. This is the kid from Michigan. 499 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: There were things I liked about him. I liked the separation. 500 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: I like that he finds cushion. I liked his route tree. 501 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: I liked how many routes he ran over the. 502 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 3: Middle of the field and could be effective in the 503 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 3: middle of the field. 504 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: It's a lot easier to play wide receiver when you 505 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: don't have any defenders on one side of you, because 506 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: that's the sideline. I like guys who can find separation 507 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. There's a lot about 508 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: Roman Wilson that I find pretty compelling, and he finds 509 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: himself now with the Steelers and a team with a 510 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: lot of need at receiver. 511 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 5: A lot of need at receiver, and Roman Wilson going 512 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 5: to be the starting slot from day one. He was 513 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 5: the second that they turned that cart, and you know, 514 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 5: to your point, you're looking at their depth. Charte, George 515 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 5: Pickens and Van Jefferson and. 516 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 3: Van Jefferson, I love. 517 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 4: They have to put the. 518 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 5: Ball in the air at some point, and I think 519 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 5: Roman Wilson is going to command a lot of targets immediately. 520 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 5: For a guy right now who in Rookie ADP is 521 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 5: the twenty first rookie going off the board, I just 522 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 5: think that that's a little cheap for him. I think 523 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 5: he should be going a little bit above that. He's small, 524 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 5: for sure, one hundred and eighty five pounds five to ten, 525 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 5: but he's athletic eighty six percentile runs in the high 526 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 5: four threes. 527 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 4: And the thing with him is. 528 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 5: Yes, the body is small, and that's why he has 529 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 5: to play the slot. But the thing that I always 530 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 5: point out with Roman Wilson, he had only two drops 531 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 5: zero fumbles twenty twenty two, only one drop, zero fumbles 532 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 5: last year as the wide receiver one for Michigan's undefeated team. 533 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 5: And the reason to extrapolate this ford and think it 534 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 5: has predictive value is well, Roman Wilson's body is small. 535 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 5: His hands happened to be enormous. He has the They're 536 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 5: bigger than Roman Dunesa's hands. Roman Wilson are one eighth 537 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 5: of an inch smaller than Marvin Harrison's. They're the same 538 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 5: size as Xavier la Get all these receivers that are 539 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 5: bigger than him. Yeah, he doesn't flub balls. He's extremely 540 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 5: reliable running the routes like you mentioned, And he's not 541 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 5: one of those slots, for instance, like Malachi Corley, another 542 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 5: rookie where you have to manufacture such as close to 543 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage. Roman Wilson can win deep and 544 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 5: did plenty for JJ McCarthy in that Michigan team. 545 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to Jermaine from Alabama via Georgia 546 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: where he was very lightly used, goes to Alabama, still 547 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: kind of lightly used. He falls into Cincinnati. I see 548 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: a very raw project, but I see an NFL level 549 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: athlete in Jermaine Burton. I don't know that he has 550 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: an impact this year, but with the T Higgins thing 551 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: really on a timer, at this time next year, there. 552 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 3: Is another one of those. 553 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: At this time next year, Jermaine Burton could be a 554 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: starting receiver for an offense led by Joe Burrow. 555 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 3: Which is a pretty good spot to be in. 556 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 5: For sure, it is and Jermaine Burton. This is going 557 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 5: to come down to Jermaine Burton deciding he wants to 558 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 5: be an above average NFL player or stay in the 559 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 5: NFL for a while. The talent has never been an 560 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 5: issue for Jermaine Burton. It's always been his attitude. And 561 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 5: if he corrects that and that's different going forward, he 562 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 5: will be a long term starter with the Bengals obviously 563 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 5: a very advantageous passing environment there. 564 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 4: Last year, Jermain Burton didn't get. 565 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 5: To show off his all the skills that he has 566 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 5: because he had a ludicrous twenty point two a dot 567 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 5: that led this wide receiver class, which be because the 568 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 5: quarterback he was playing with at Alabama, Jalen Millroe, a 569 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 5: scrambler who then also just chucks the ball a mile. 570 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 5: The accuracy of everything in between can come and go. 571 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 5: But that's why Jermaine Burton was down the field so much. 572 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 5: Earlier in his career. He showed he could win short 573 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 5: make people miss, and then the intermediate range as well. 574 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,239 Speaker 5: So I think this guy potentially could win at all 575 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 5: three levels in the NFL, certainly as the athleticism for it, 576 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 5: will the attitude be there for Jermaine Burton. 577 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: Luke McCaffrey is next on your list. You and I 578 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 1: are going to disagree on Luke McCaffrey. I don't like 579 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: him looking at you, and you've seen more of him 580 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: than I have, just watching a couple of games of 581 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: routes and and and passes his way. I don't like 582 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: the size. I don't like how underpowered he is. I 583 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: didn't see a lot of separation. I just think he 584 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: needs more strength. I understand just reading up on him. 585 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: The intangibles are phenomenal, and obviously he's in the McCaffrey family, 586 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,959 Speaker 1: So you know that's family. The DNA is good, but 587 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: I didn't love the production. And you know, and Rice, 588 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: I don't even know how much I can gage. The 589 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: last notable player to come from Rice is Tommy Kramer. Right, 590 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: talk to me about Luke McCaffrey and tell me why 591 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm ron. 592 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 5: Luke McCaffrey I think is a perfect fit for Washington, 593 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 5: particularly because of the game of their first pick, Jalen Daniels, 594 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 5: where he loves to throw the ball. 595 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 4: Down the field, Yes, including to the slot. 596 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 5: Now, I think McCaffrey could play either inside or outside 597 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 5: at the next level. He played seventy percent of his 598 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 5: snaps in the slot. Well at Rice thirty percent on 599 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 5: the outside. But the reason for that was Number One, 600 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 5: Luke McCaffrey just started playing the wide receiver position two 601 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 5: years ago after busting as a dual threat quarterback earlier 602 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 5: in his career. 603 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, and the G. 604 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 5: Five programs a lot of times will put their best 605 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 5: receiver closer to the quarterback make it easier on them. 606 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 5: But McCaffrey is tremendous down the field. Tremendous is getting 607 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 5: down the field and then the contested situations down there. 608 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 5: Seventeen of twenty eight last year, only three drops on 609 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty targets in twenty twenty three. That 610 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 5: guy catches all these balls in tight quarters between two defenders, 611 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 5: a defender descending down on him, catches the ball, gets smacked, 612 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 5: his helmet pops off. Whether that's playing the slot which 613 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 5: jalen last year, Jayden and Daniels throwing downtown to Molik 614 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 5: neighbors all the time, or on the other side of 615 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 5: McLaren depending on what happens with Johan dottson there. McCaffrey 616 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 5: can win down the field. I also think you're going 617 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 5: to see more of progression from him as a route runner, 618 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 5: certainly in the intermediate range. 619 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 4: Again, keep in mind he only. 620 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 5: Played those two years of a receiver after switching over 621 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 5: the one other thing to keep in mind with McCaffrey vs. 622 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 5: AV his fantasy value the next level the former dual 623 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 5: threat quarterback thing. He can do trick plays, and Rice 624 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 5: had a whole lot of fun with him on ender 625 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 5: rounds and gadget plays. McCaffrey ended up breaking twenty five 626 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 5: tackles over the last two years, did not fumble the 627 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 5: ball one time. You're going to see him used by 628 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 5: Washington on some trick plays, all right, Javon Baker. 629 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: Right after the draft, when we looked at the Patriots draft, 630 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: they took Jalen Polk in the second round and then 631 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: they took Baker in the fourth round. And like the 632 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: day after the draft, you're on this show saying I 633 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: like Baker, yeah, more than I like Polk. You're happy 634 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: to see land in this spot. And I think Drake 635 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: May's gonna be great. Uh, talk to me about the 636 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: kid from Central Florida via Alabama. 637 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 5: I would pick him over Polk, And for me, it 638 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 5: wouldn't be much of a you know thought there. I 639 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 5: think Baker assents to the top of their wide receiver 640 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 5: room very quickly. Speaking of good fits with with particular quarterbacks, 641 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 5: the thing that Drake made is best at is flinging 642 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 5: bombs down the field. Last year, Javon Baker was the 643 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 5: only guy that was beneath Jermaine Burton and a dott 644 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 5: seventeen point one, a dot h just assassin downfield at 645 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 5: UCF was Javon Baker attacks the ball in the air, 646 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,239 Speaker 5: latches onto that thing. He can get jarred and he's 647 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 5: still going to come down with the ball. Twenty of 648 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 5: thirty six and contested scenarios the last two years for 649 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 5: Burton or I'm sorry for Javon Baker. He's also very 650 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 5: good after the catch, breaks tackles. 651 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 4: He is elusive. 652 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 5: The one thing he needs to clean up his concentration 653 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 5: drops drops with a little over front. Yeah, yeah, that's 654 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 5: the one thing. But if he can clean those concentration 655 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 5: drops up, and he has great hands, so it is 656 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 5: this is a concentration issue. If he cleans that up, 657 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 5: like I said, I think he has sends very quickly 658 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 5: to the top of that depth Shart. 659 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: All right, that's Javon Baker. You're deep sleeper at wide receiver. 660 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: Malik Davis from Virginia finds himself from Miami. Obviously that's 661 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: a that's a pretty stacked depth chart. But that doesn't 662 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: mean we don't like the kid. What do you what 663 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: do you like about Milk Washington? 664 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, so with him, Miami of course has the awesome 665 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 5: two receivers at the top, but they've been looking for 666 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 5: ancillary receiving options when they have three wide receivers on 667 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 5: the field. I think you were going to see Melik 668 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 5: Washington in the slot last year in Virginia. He blew 669 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 5: up doing that. Thirty five broken tackles for Malik Washington 670 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 5: last year. That was five more than the next highest 671 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 5: finisher in this class, which was a guy named Melik Neighbors. 672 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 5: So Washington brings the ball in and then he has 673 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 5: this short compact, just sort of muscle hamster type frame 674 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 5: to him. He is not afraid to catch the ball 675 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 5: middle of the field, has eighty nine percentile athleticism. But 676 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 5: then he's got the acceleration and will run through arm tape, 677 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 5: arm tackles, off angle attempts and stuff like that. Pile 678 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 5: up the broken tackles. 679 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: All right, that's Malik Washington. Now we go to tight end. 680 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: There's a player that you talked about going into the draft. 681 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: You and I talked about him right after the draft, 682 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: and the landing spot is very encouraging. Iowa tight end 683 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: Eric All, who finds himself in Cincinnati, and we. 684 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 3: Love his quarterback. 685 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: We love the fact that he might right now be 686 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: the best tight end on roster and could start in 687 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: very short order. Talk to me about Eric All, the 688 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: kid he transferred from Michigan, went to Iowa for a. 689 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 3: Year, so he got the Iowa tight. 690 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: End treatment, if only for a year thor and now 691 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: he's got this nice opportunity. 692 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 5: I think he bypasses Mike Kiseki for t one the 693 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 5: gig as a rookie. Eric All tremendous athlete. He has size, 694 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 5: speed and feet. Wasn't able to test during the pre 695 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 5: draft process because he tore his ACL at Iowa in October, 696 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 5: but he would have been running in the high four 697 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 5: fours or low four fives, which would have put him 698 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 5: number two among testers at his position group. The thing 699 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 5: you like about him is the ball skills in conjunction 700 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 5: with that athleticism, and then he can end up running. 701 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 5: He was destructive for Iowa when he was on the field. 702 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 5: He was number one among all FBS tight ends in 703 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 5: yards per route run prior to tearing that ECO. That 704 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 5: was on that abomination of an Iowa passing offense, which 705 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 5: I can say because I went to Iowa wasn't fun 706 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 5: to watch. But All ended up leading the Hawkeys in 707 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 5: receiving last year despite playing in less than half of 708 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 5: the games. He has been the pass catching tight end 709 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 5: Joe Burrow has been crying out for, and I think 710 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 5: he's gonna be on the field and solidify that job. 711 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 4: Carrie going forward in very short order. 712 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: Eric Hall going off the board in Rookie Drafts, Rookie 713 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: Dynasty Drafts, Pick forty seven. 714 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's way too low for way too low, especially 715 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 5: in a tight end class where there's just not many 716 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 5: other guys like he is the guy who could. 717 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 4: Blow up and become a star. 718 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, well Flowers, Yeah, well not Bowers, but yes, after that, 719 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: Bowers is in his own file. 720 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, and then it really yeah, you know, we're talking 721 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 5: about Senate and Eric all pretty much those are the 722 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 5: two guys at Target. 723 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,239 Speaker 1: Great job, Thor, Thank you appreciate it.
