1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on Home of the Black and

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back on Dale Lally here

3
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: with Matt Williamson. This is the Drive on Steelers Nation

4
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: Radio and it is Fantasy football Time. Matt. Yeah, this

5
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: will tie into real world as it always does, and

6
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: absolutely new listeners that haven't listened to our fantasy segments.

7
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: We try to make it, even if you're not into fantasy,

8
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: to be as interesting as possible with what we together.

9
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Right right, it does, and this one was going to

10
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: tie into the draft. Yeah, right, Looking, you're gonna go

11
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: team by team, but who makes an impact and you

12
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: know kind of where they fit into everything here? So

13
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals are first. Really they're only true fantasy player

14
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: who will make an impact this year is Ron del Moore,

15
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: their second round pick. How do you see him fitting

16
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: in in that? Just talking fantasy, there's eight to ten

17
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: of these small receivers that I like better for the

18
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: real world than I do fantasy, you know, I mean,

19
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna be big touchdown producers. I mean,

20
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: I just think some of them are gonna be sort

21
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: of gadgety, a little on the small side. They'll manufacture

22
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: some you know, some quick throws to him, which is great.

23
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: You know he gets three or four easy catches a game,

24
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: but they're they're not gonna be deep downfield all that much.

25
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,919
Speaker 1: I like the player, but for fantasy, I'm staying away

26
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: from him and others will fit that. I kind of

27
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: see that as the who's the Penn State kid? That

28
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: handler handler? Kind of a handler situation where there were

29
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: some games where handler would have been useful if he's

30
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: in your life, but most games he wasn't right mostly

31
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: gay as he wasn't because it's still largely you know

32
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and but know that matters. I mean, Christian

33
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: Kirk might have a better year than you know, so

34
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: that that one's not one that doesn't excite me. The Falcons, however,

35
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: with Kyle Pitts, that excites you. Um, if we just

36
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: talk fantasy, he's not gonna I mean just for this

37
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: year rookie year. Are you taking him as like the

38
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: six seventh, eight tight end? I think he might be

39
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: higher than that, like Chelsea Kittle. I'm taking Waller over him.

40
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: I mean I'm doing this aft top of my head.

41
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: I'm taking Hawkinson over him. I'm not as a rookie.

42
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm not. I mean, like big picture, I'm not. They

43
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: didn't take him fourth overall, not to use the superstar.

44
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm taking him over the Gasekis of the world.

45
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: And I mean, I don't know. I don't know what

46
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: to make of the Patriots situation. I don't either one

47
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: of those guys over him. Yeah, I think Dallas Goddard

48
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: went to Art Sleeves. I think he stopped five. Yeah,

49
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: but I'm having a hard time taking coming up with

50
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: other names, Hawkins and someone I just really like. But

51
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: that might be about it. Goddard comes to mind. Is

52
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: a tough one if because they still don't they didn't

53
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: draft a running back. No, they're gonna throw the football

54
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: and they're gonna score a lot of points. So he's

55
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: gonna get a hundred targets. Yeah. So if he gets

56
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: a hundred targets and catch us seventy passes, that puts

57
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: him in tight end five conversation, Like you're taking him

58
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: over Ingram easily, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah. How about Andrews.

59
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna be on the field more often. Yeah, Andrews

60
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: a pretty good history, he does, but he's not a

61
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: full time player. He was a great last year. Either

62
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: wasn't And again it's probably the neighborhood. Yeah, it's five

63
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: six ish Kara line of Panthers. Uh. They drafted Terroris

64
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: Marshall in the second round. They drafted Tommy Tremble and

65
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: Chuba Hubbard in the third round in fourth round. Hubbard

66
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: is not fantasy relevant on that, but he might be

67
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: the direct backup with it could be Mike Davis out

68
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: of there. I mean, he might be a high end handcuff.

69
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: He could be Marshal to me, I don't know if

70
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: that moves a needle. There's too many other miles to

71
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: feed there. The rookie receiver class is really really good,

72
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: but it's gonna take me some convincing and fantasy for

73
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: and Trembles largely a blocker, although I think he has more.

74
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: There's more, but you got to prove it to me

75
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: at this level for him. Consider him in a fantasy world.

76
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: Juba Hubbard those an injury away from being a stud potentially. Yeah,

77
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: we don't know that he's a two. Yeah. The Chicago

78
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: Bears with Justin Fields Hi, I put him. I would

79
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: put him in my top twenty quarterbacks because he's gonna

80
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: start it's sooner rather than later. It easily could be

81
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: opening day. Yeah, I mean, if we're pick right now.

82
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: He's not my starter, of course, but I would last

83
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: year either, and he won a lot of leagues for people. Yeah,

84
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: I would. You know, just if you're gonna if you're

85
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: in a short league. Um, let's say it's a twelve

86
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: team league and you can draft three quarterbacks and stash one.

87
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 1: He's a perfect one. He's perfect to do that because

88
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: if he plays twelve games, he's rushing for at least

89
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: six hundred yards. His receivers are good too, like cold combat.

90
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: To me, he's gonna be fantasy worthy Mooney Robinson, Montgomery

91
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: catches the ball. Oh, by the way, they drafted Tevin

92
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: Jenkins to Like, I'm not a big Bears believer, but

93
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Fields believer, and I'm warming up to

94
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: the fact that they could be a good fantasy offense

95
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: all around. They got Khalil Herbert in the sixth round

96
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: as well. He's got some Montgomery like traits too. Yeah,

97
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: they don't. They didn't have much there behind Montgomery used

98
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: him last year. Um, so he's he's a round flyer

99
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: that wouldn't wouldn't mind either take a lot of punishment

100
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: in two years. The Cowboys didn't do any thing. They're

101
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: they're top offensive guy. With Semifajoko in the fifth round.

102
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: Its kind of like, but he's not He's not gonna

103
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: see the field for them. Yeah, so that's nobody's fantasy

104
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: relevant there. For the Lions, kind of the same thing.

105
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm on st raw St monros St Brown in the

106
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: fourth round. Could play receivers are so bad, um And

107
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: what's crazy is the rest of their offense is now

108
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: pretty decent. Yeah, Penny Swell, I think, you know, golf

109
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: should be protected. And he's an NFL quarterback and they

110
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: but they went big guys with their first three picks.

111
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: It's all d line, no line. That's why I like Hawkinson.

112
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna like Swift. Someone's would catch the

113
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: ball there. They're gonna be losing a time. Um St

114
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: Brown might be their leading receiver there. It could be,

115
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah. I mean it doesn't mean I'm using

116
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: a tenth round pick and fantasy on them. But the

117
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: Packers Maori Rodgers in the third round. That's interesting in

118
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: a very Randall Cob like way. I mean, he's different

119
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: than what they have. Yeah, and he's a good but

120
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: and there's some there might be some pathway to playing

121
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: time there. But is Aaron Rodgers gonna play? I want

122
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: Rogers throwing to Rogers, not love throwing to Rodgers him

123
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: out yea. And by the way, if loves the quarterback there,

124
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: Davante Adams is in the first round pick. Yeah, Aaron

125
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: Jones goes down the list, you know. Yeah, that that's

126
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: one to keep an eye on there, especially for fantasy purposes.

127
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: And the Rams two at well at fifty seven, he's

128
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: he's a perfect example of I'd rather Rondel Moore. Yeah,

129
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: they got guys. I mean, they took Jefferson last year.

130
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand they love space players, and I'm

131
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: sure they'll scheme up ways for him and Stafford will

132
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: probablyhit him deep a couple of times. But he's probably

133
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: the fourth receiver. Yeah, I don't I don't see. I mean,

134
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: but they didn't have to pick until after the Steelers

135
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: pick in the second round. Still the Minnesota Vikings Kellen

136
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: Mond in the third round. There's no value there. Uh.

137
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: Then you got down all the way to uh. I

138
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: can't think anybody that one wou the the kid out. Yeah,

139
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if he makes it there

140
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: so if yeah, really nothing of note, although they did

141
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: take a mere Smith Marsette in the fifth round. He's

142
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: got some the third receiver back, he's got some, he's

143
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: got some hops he can run. Yeah, there's a path

144
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: there at least. Yeah, there'll be one to keep keeping eye.

145
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: In the preseason, the Saints really didn't do anything to

146
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: help their offense. They took Ian Book in the fourth round.

147
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: He's not fantasy relevant. Kawan Baker, Uh no, no, it's

148
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: all you know, they had a first round pick. I

149
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: guess that's good for Trake Kuan Smith a winner. Uh

150
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: the Giants ka Darius Tony. He's not for me either.

151
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a lot different than what they had.

152
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: Is he gonna catch more balls? And Shepherd, like I

153
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: think Slayton really got hurt. But here's the problem is

154
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: Shepherd can't stay on the field. And they didn't bring

155
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: back Golden Tape, right, but they signed Goladay, you know,

156
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: but they you know who's playing the slot. Shepherd when

157
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: healthy went healthy, but he can also play outside. I

158
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: think they'll find ways to get Kadarius Tony the football.

159
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: I think they will too. But he's a little gimmicky.

160
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: But I don't know that it's going to be enough

161
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: to be fantasy relevant. I mean, this is a big gift,

162
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: But if se Kwan and Ingram stay healthy, they're gonna

163
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: catch a hundred fifty balls between them. Collidays gonna catch

164
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: an ain't much left after that, you know, there's not okay.

165
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Eagles with Davante Smith, however, I have mixed

166
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: feelings on this one, Like he's gotta repeat with the

167
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: number one right off the bat. He could be he's

168
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: got to report the quarterbacks, report the quarterback. He's a

169
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: route runner. He's the type of guy that translates quickly

170
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: to the NFL. How much are they gonna throw is

171
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: the question? See Justin Jefferson this year. See, I don't know,

172
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: I they're gonna throw the ball, and I don't know

173
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: that I trust the quarterback to to make that kind

174
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: of heavy team. Because they also drafted Kenneth Gainwell in

175
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: the fifth round. It's more of a receiving back on

176
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: the back of my roster at the very Yeah, if

177
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna you know, if you especially if you if

178
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: you take um Sanders, Sanders Who's it will be gone?

179
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: I think Ragor's it's too early to you know, flush him,

180
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: but Smith. I mean, who do you think it would

181
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: be the Eagles leading receiver? God heard Dante. I think

182
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: it'll probably Vante. I think DeVante is the guy. Yeah,

183
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean he's a wide. I'd have to go

184
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: back and look at where how Hurts distributed things like

185
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: if Wentz was still there. So oh, God is probably

186
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: gonna be the leading receiver. But I don't know that

187
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: offense was good or bad. I don't think the quarterbacks

188
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: a very good. I'm not a fan. Think the line

189
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: will be good. San Francisco takes Trey Lance. I don't

190
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: think he's fantasy relevant this year. No, i'd matter how

191
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: if I'm picking, you give me which are the you know,

192
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: give me two or three of the picks of the

193
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: of the rookie quarterbacks. He might be last to play

194
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: on my list, Like you'd take Wilson over him? Yeah, yeah,

195
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: take Wilson over him, to mac Jones over him. I

196
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: think mac Jones plays earlier than he does. Yeah, and

197
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: I know Fields try to win it with Jimmy. I

198
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: know Lawrence, does I know Fields? Does I think Also

199
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: there's an outside chance Jimmy's not on the team perhaps,

200
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: and if that happens, that changes the changes Coason. But

201
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're ready to just just say, here

202
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: you go, Trey, you've played one game in the last

203
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: two years. Now you're our starter with a with a

204
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: with a lineup that was in the Super Bowl two

205
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: years ago. I mean, Jimmy is the better player right now.

206
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: The question, but what's weird about Lance and what's weird

207
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: about that pick too, is is the best thing for

208
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: this guy to play one game in three years, he's

209
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna get the preseason. Yeah, heavy, heavy in

210
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: the preseason. So if he looks really good in the preseason,

211
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: he could win that job. But for the first time,

212
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: they lose. But still when he's right and he's in

213
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: the game, if he looks good in the preseason and

214
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: wins it him Verse Fields for me is a tough call.

215
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: That's a tough call because they run and he's a

216
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: very very good runner and a good offense. But the

217
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: forty nine wns have also shown us that if they're

218
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: running the ball effectively, they'll just keep running it and

219
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: it might not be there. They're not gonna do it

220
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: with the quarterback they get. They asked they also drafted

221
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: Tray Sermon, Did they draft another back to They drafted

222
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Tray Sermon and Elijah Mitchell, and they signed someone right

223
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: before the draft. I can't remember who that is off

224
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: top of my head. Like that, that backfield is all

225
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: over the place. I just stay away from it. I'm done.

226
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm done playing with it. It's like the Patriots backfield

227
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: used to be. Trying to try to guess who the

228
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: lead back is gonna be this week. You can't do it.

229
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: I was listening to a podcast that their favorite bet

230
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: was Tray Sermon for Rookie of the Year. Because it's

231
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: a super long shot. It's way worse than it's like

232
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: fifty to one or something. I still wouldn't trust it

233
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: because he could have he could have a hundred and

234
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: fifty yard game, and then the next week he come

235
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: out and Elijah Mitchell is running the ball or he

236
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: most at running the ball. Who knows. The only point

237
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: is he if he does grab it, if he goes

238
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: two games in a row, three games in a row,

239
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: that'd be great. That's probably not gonna happen. Most are

240
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: not going away they like Jeff Wilson, you know, I

241
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: mean there was a problem before they brought three new guys. Uh,

242
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: the Seahawks bringing Dwayne Eskridge. That's an interesting one. I

243
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: like that better than Ron del Moore or at what's yeah,

244
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: because I think he'll be in the field a lot.

245
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: I think you'll see a lot of three wides, a

246
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: lot of single coverage. Um maybe I mean for the

247
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: small guys that aren't gonna be super high. We're for

248
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: a late round flyer on him. Especially. Let's you know,

249
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: let's say something happens in one of the top two guys, especially,

250
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: it'll be the lock it roll, you know, Right, Tampa

251
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: Bay took Kyle Trash in the second round. He's not

252
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: gonna play this year, that's it. Right. They did take

253
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Darden in the fourth round. But it's the same thing.

254
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: He's blocked. Yeah, he's super blocked. They signed a b

255
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: if he makes her roster this year. Right. Johnson is

256
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: a good player they drafted last year. I mean he's

257
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: a sixth receiver Washington Diami Brown in the third round.

258
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a pathway to play there, Yeah, there is.

259
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: He's a lot different than Samuel you know, he could be.

260
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: He could even be the number two opposite McLaurin at times,

261
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: you know bad. They also took John Bates, the tight

262
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: end of b y U or not Boise State, a

263
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: little earlier than I thought though. Yeah, maybe he plays

264
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: more than I expected. But that offense isn't bad. No,

265
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: it's not away from Washington, it's not. Um, that was

266
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: the NFC where the a FC draft here, Baltimore is

267
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: gonna be first. Yeah, okay, so I'm on it here. Okay,

268
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: so Baltimore. I would have liked it if he went

269
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: to somewhere else. Yeah, because they also drafted another receiver

270
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: was pretty good in Wallace. Rashad Bateman loved the player,

271
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: hate the landing spot, same with Tylan Wallace. But yeah,

272
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that I can invest in those guys

273
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: for fantasy. I mean, what's it. What's his ceiling? Fifty catches?

274
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: Probably that's just not enough to be fantasy relevant. I

275
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: think he's got a good chance to be the Ravens

276
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: leading receiver, but he's not gonna catch Adie passes. No,

277
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: it's just not gonna happen. Um, they didn't take a

278
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: backer tight end. They did not Buffalo. They took Marquez

279
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: Stevenson in the sixth round. That doesn't That doesn't make

280
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: it Cincinnati with your mar Chase. That's an interesting one.

281
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: I was pretty high on them. I mean, what what

282
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: round do you pull the check? There's so many receivers

283
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: in the league. Did you take him over Claypool, keep

284
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: it close to him, take him over with Jarvis Landry? Yes?

285
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: And yes because I think again, the rapport with the

286
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: quarterback goes a long way. To take him over to Higgins. Yes,

287
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: and I think it hurts Higgins bad, hurts Boyd. It

288
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: helps the Bengals, helps Burrow a lot. I mean, I'm

289
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: gonna boot gladly. It burrows my quarterback. Like, think of

290
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: all those all those targets that A. J. Green was

291
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: getting last year, peppered with them and they weren't coming

292
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: up with any catches. I think they'll come up in

293
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: those catches. It's right. No, he can be on my

294
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: fantasy team and he's probably a top twenty guy at

295
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: the bottom of that. But yeah, I mean I'm not

296
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: taking him over d J. Moore and Ridley, some established guys. Yeah,

297
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: Like I'll take Ceedee Lamb over him from last year.

298
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: Take him head of Judy who's the quarterback, right, But

299
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: in that neighborhood, if you compare him to the young guys,

300
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna be high in the conversation. No, I agree.

301
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: They also grabbed Chris Evans kind of like that. That's

302
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: a nice set backup for Joe Mixon there that he's

303
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: not super reliable. Yeah, he's been nicked, so I know

304
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: they've drafted some other backs, but Geo's gone. Evans was

305
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: kind of a favorite of mine, keeping, you know, keeping

306
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: keep him on the watch list. The Browns took Anthony

307
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: Schwartz in the third round. Nothing to do him. Yeah,

308
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: he may get two targets a game. Talk about him,

309
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: They talked about him. He's a really fast guy. I'm

310
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: looking here on the road world and their comp on

311
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Schwartz's Philip dor set. That's that's not a good

312
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: comp though. If you're bad for fantasy, Yeah, good if

313
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: you're a play action and throw deep team and he

314
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: converts a couple of times a year, keeps defenses honest,

315
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: But that's bad for fantasy. But he average eleven yards

316
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: to catch last year. That was probably my least favorite

317
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: pick they made. I thoink they had a good draft,

318
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: but that's not for me. Denver takes Javonte Williams in

319
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: the second round. They traded up to get him. I

320
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: have a good line and play a lot of close games.

321
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: They've got Melvin Gordon. That's if it were just him,

322
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: if he had a clear path to be the guy

323
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: Lindsay's there anymore, He's not. No, I can't think of

324
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: anyone else that's so. Are they gonna split carries with

325
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: those two? If if I think I'll go past Gordon

326
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: by mid season, probably not the first month or so, though.

327
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: So where do you draft? I mean, especially after last year,

328
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: so many people drafted, including ourselves rookie running backs, sat

329
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 1: on them all year long, paid for it, you know,

330
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: you had to make the playoffs for it to really

331
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: pay off, you know, and in the end you didn't

332
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: get there because you've been sitting on. Because you were

333
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: sitting on you know, you're wasting roster spots in these guys.

334
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: But for the thirty four pick in the draft, he's

335
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: gonna go late as running backs go, you know what

336
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean? For fantasy I take him as my number

337
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: three with some upside. I want to make sure I

338
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: got two more safer guys. Dobbins a year ago. It

339
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: could be a home run, was there because don't run

340
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: the football. Don't run the football. They we'll play a

341
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: lot of close games. It could win me a league.

342
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: To Gordon's on a young man, what if he gets hurt.

343
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: Houston takes Davis Mills. He could be their starter for

344
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: half the season, by the way, I mean, you might

345
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: as well see what you have in the guy might

346
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: as well because they're not winning any games. Watson's gonna

347
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: play another game, and but he's not a runner, so

348
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: you're not getting anything there. They also took Niko Collins

349
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: because he's very different than Cook's. I bet he starts.

350
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: And Brevin Jordan's huh even I tight end forever. They've

351
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: had a bunch of them, but ever, you know, never

352
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: got to fall. But you know, Collins and Jordan aren't

353
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: the worst picks I've ever heard round. Yeah, because somebody

354
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: goes back to the theory, somebody has to catch football.

355
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking the organizational philosophy is gonna play young guys,

356
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: let's develop. You know, they know they're not winning anything.

357
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: The Colts took nobody of value Colin Grantson in the

358
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: fourth round. No Michael my my sleeper wide receiver, Michael

359
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: Strachan out of Charleston in the seventh round. Big guy

360
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: that can run. It would take a lot for him,

361
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: but he's not getting on. Aren't great? More of a

362
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: developing model thing? Jackson Bill, This is interesting, Lawrence. Where

363
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: does Lawrence factor in as a rookie quarter? Lawrence verse Burrow?

364
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: I take Burrow, Take Burrow better surround the cast. I'll

365
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: take him over to Oh yes, I take Hurts over

366
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: all of them. I think he's probably fifteen ish. It's

367
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: about where Burrow was last year too. Yeah. I mean

368
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: he'll run, but he won't run like um Fields or Lands,

369
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: nothing like that. Yeah, I mean it'll be an asset

370
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: as a runner. Um. I know he's a superstar prospect,

371
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: but you can't take him like over Dak Prescott. Uh.

372
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: What about Trevor Matt Ryan who total opposite bet Ryan

373
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: throws a million passes this year. Yeah, Maryan's gonna throw

374
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: like crazy and he's got He's got the big receivers.

375
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: I think i'd take Ryan. Ryan's with my guys I'd

376
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: like to have this year. Yeah, Travis A t N

377
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm taking ahead of Robinson. Yes, absolutely, I bet I'm

378
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: not paying the price that a t N ends up going.

379
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: He probably ends up being third round pick, a top

380
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: fifteen back when it's all said and done, I mean

381
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: first round running like where did clydearlo last year? Really

382
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: hot in the top five and a lot of I

383
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: mean I bet a t N ends up in the

384
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: second round when it comes down to it. Yeah, it

385
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: works with me. Yeah, it's a good receiver, but he's

386
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: not an elite receiver. And he's working with his college

387
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: quarterback though, so there's there's again that rapport thing. Gona

388
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: be short yardage guy, No, no, no, Yeah, what's his

389
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: upside if I said, Travis a t N total yards

390
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: over under go under that, Yeah, I think I think

391
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: you'll catch a lot of passes. Yeah, but he's not

392
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: a real developed route running right, But I think they'll

393
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: find ways to get him the football in space to

394
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: try to make some things happen. But they'll do that

395
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: with Chinnault and you know, but I think he's a

396
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: fifteen touch of game guy. I might go slightly under. Yeah.

397
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: I mean, a nice addition to the team and makes

398
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: lawrences life easier. I just think in the end, there's

399
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: a lot of backs I take ahead of him, like

400
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: I'll take Myles Sanders or even Montgomery. We're not finding

401
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: a lot of slam dunk No, but a lot of

402
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: things will change. But there's not a lot of guys

403
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm super excited about for fantasy in Kansas City. Really

404
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: has nobody, um, although I'm buying Edwards Hilaire Low right now. Yea,

405
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: the line changes they made and Davy and Williams is

406
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: not there. You know, I think people be soured on him.

407
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: I'll take him this year at his cost. The Raiders.

408
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: There's really nobody there. No, No. The Chargers took Josh

409
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: Palmer in the third round weight on the list. I mean,

410
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: I like the player I like to pick. They took

411
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: Trey McKitty in the third round. They lost town or Henry,

412
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: but they still have that. They have yeah, six eight

413
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: guy that they supposedly really like, So don't run out

414
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: and get that. They did add another running back late

415
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: and Larry Rountree. That's the Kelly and those guys. Ekeler

416
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: is the guy I love this year. Yeah. Oh absolutely.

417
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: Saint's offensive coordinator coming over Miami with Jalen Waddle. What

418
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: do you do with that? Because two is not a

419
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: guy that throws a football down the field, and I

420
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: think he'll be overdrafted in fantasy. Yeah, I love the

421
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: football player. I mean they have Fuller is the deep

422
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: guy too, and Parker's established Becauseki is not going away.

423
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't see it being a high volume path the attack.

424
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't what you asked me, But all

425
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Miles Gascon is super exciting. Like they

426
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: did not a little bit. Well they got They got

427
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: Garrett Doakes there, who's different from those guys. He's a

428
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: bigger belly, put up money. They put up numbers when

429
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: he was allowed. Yeah, you know, I mean can you

430
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: hold up though, That's that's the question. But they also

431
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: drifted me. They also drafted Hunter Long. Bad um, you

432
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: got Kasiki there already. I wouldn't go crazy on Hunter Long.

433
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: That's not a good landing spot for him. No, man,

434
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: Rookie tight ends are bad investment, but he had. It's

435
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: similar to the Steeler situation where the rookies the more

436
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: well rounded player. Yeah, I agree, Mac Jones. No, I

437
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: don't let somebody else do that. The Patriots with mac Jones.

438
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: I think he's the starter there. Maybe not right out

439
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: of the gate, early, but early, because here's the problem.

440
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: He'll start out of his offense. What you're gonna have

441
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: to do with mac Jones is gonna be completely different

442
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: than what you have to do with with Newton. I

443
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: would think it's more of the Jones passing game than

444
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: the Newton passing game. Here's the problem with that. Yes,

445
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: they signed a couple of receivers in free agency, they

446
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: didn't bring anybody else, didn't do anything to help the

447
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: offense at all. I would much rather have Cam Newton

448
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: is my quarterback for fantasy the Mac Jones. Yes, it's

449
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: not even close. Yeah. If mac Jones he's just starting,

450
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: like I, I don't want him, obviously, you want him

451
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: over Trey Lance. If Trey Lance is not playing right,

452
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: But the other guys, I'm taking all them before I'm

453
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: taking mac Jones. There would be no running no, yeah, right,

454
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think he would hurt Henry or

455
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: Smith if you're interested in those guys or the backs.

456
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: But he's not gonna be a fantasy producer. He's gonna

457
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: have to complete forty game, you know, forty passes a game. Yeah,

458
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: I agree Zack Wilson, wherees he fit into the equate

459
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: quarterback equation lower than the others. Although I know he's

460
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: a Day one starter playing times great, I still want

461
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: Lance and Fields ahead of him. Thank to get him

462
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: away with it. They did get him some weapons. They

463
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: drafted Elijah More in the second round. I really liked him. Yeah,

464
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: I bet they cut Crowder in the next day or two.

465
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: They say, like eight million. By cutting Crowder, Elijah More

466
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: might be their leading receiver this year. Oh absolutely. I mean,

467
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: for you think about the way Crowder has I don't

468
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: know if they cut Crowder because you can find ways

469
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: to use him. Um, and he was, he's been valuable.

470
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: I just think I'd rather eight million than Crowder. But

471
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: if you if you give more Crowders targets, yea, all

472
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden, that looks pretty good. He gets outside

473
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: targets too. Yeah. I mean, I know that they have Mims,

474
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: who's kind of exciting and probably get hurt a little

475
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: bit by that pick up, and Davis um, but they

476
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: have a decent group of receivers. I don't know why

477
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: I can't get super excited about Wilson for fantasy because

478
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: they'll run a little. He's gonna start probably sixteen games,

479
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: seventeen games, you know, I don't know. I think he's

480
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: gonna have some there'll be some growing paints. Yeah, he's

481
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: a long way from home. Um, they drafted Michael Carter.

482
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: That's a good landing spot for a tow Michael Carter.

483
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: They drafted two of them, they drafted one that was

484
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: fantasy relevant. Yeah. I think it's a great landing spot

485
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: for him. He could end up being the guy. Yeah,

486
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: if you want to pick out, if you want to

487
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: pick out the guy, the rookie running back who could

488
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: be the quote unquote sleeper, it's him. There's not much

489
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: ahead of him. None of their backs will catch more

490
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: passes than him. He has to be the third down

491
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: back almost from day one, which has value in itself,

492
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: and he's probably the most talented back the old line's

493
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: not bad. No, I like him. Yeah. So that that's

494
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: one And when that happens this year, people sa see

495
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: you can get it back in the fifth round. And

496
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: if he got him in the fourth round of Steelers

497
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: could have done that. Steelers of a Carter, though, I mean,

498
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: they can ask him to do much different things in

499
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: the real world. Absolutely, Uh, the Steelers with Naja Harris.

500
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: Where's Naja Harris fall into the equation? I think he's

501
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: a fantasy back this year. I would just say I

502
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: think he's a top fifteen pick. Yeah. I think he

503
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: goes in a second, top half, a round two at

504
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: the latest. Yeah. I mean like around the corner, around

505
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: the Bend neighborhood, you know, because I think they're going

506
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: to give him the ball a little bit in the

507
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: preseason to get for an extra game. He's gonna he's

508
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: gonna see some carries, people are gonna he's gonna break

509
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: some tackles and there's no smoke screens. I mean, having

510
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: the world knows is just do you take him over

511
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: Mixing or Miles Sanders or or last year's guys. Take

512
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: him over Derrick Henry. No, he's gonna catch your football.

513
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: Henry leads leaging rushing every year. Is he gonna do

514
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: it again this year? Because history shows is that doesn't happen.

515
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Henry is probably not. Take him over Zeke Elliott.

516
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Elliot's hard to count on. I mean,

517
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: you're taking him over the Backs last year. I'll take

518
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: Acres over him. I'll take him ahead of Swift. See

519
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: how we gonna take Acres over him? Because I don't

520
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: know that Acres is gonna be the the guy the

521
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: way they messed around with it last year. It's just

522
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: I think the offense will be better and he'll be

523
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: the guy. I'll take if you and guarantee me that

524
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: Acres is the guy, Okay, but I don't know that

525
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: you can do that because they've got the Hey Malcolm

526
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: Brown and he's not there anymore. But I know Harris

527
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: is a guy. Yeah, now he's gonna go early, there's

528
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: no question. What about Friarmouth not fantasy worthy? How many

529
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: paths do you think you catch this year? I think

530
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: if he catches thirty five, that's a good year. Yeah,

531
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: it's not great for fantasy, but then it's not good

532
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: enough for fantasy yet. I think he eats in the

533
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: Ebron's numbers suffers a little bit. I think the two

534
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: of them combined for sixty to seventy catches um, and

535
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: then the rest of them aren't really fantasy relevant there. Uh,

536
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: Titans really didn't do anything there. He took Dez Fitzpatrick

537
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: in the fourth round. That doesn't really there is a

538
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: path there and Racy McMath in the in the sixth round.

539
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: I wonder if they try to find a veteran that

540
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: could be a good something that they do. Yeah, they

541
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: do anything else. So they didn't take a backworth, They

542
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: took Farley Radden's, Monty Rice, Elijah Molden. They went defense defense,

543
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: defense Tree a lot better. Yeah, but that doesn't help

544
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: you in fantasy sleeper fantasy defense. We're not quite there

545
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: yet for that. But that's the league. In the hole,

546
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of rookies that were like despite

547
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: last year was better. It was a heavy offensive draft

548
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: in the first round, and yet it was a lot

549
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: of big guys, a lot of offensive linemen there, of course,

550
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: who weren't fantasy relevant guys. In terms of the receivers

551
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: are all. Yeah, the quarterbacks are interesting, yeah, yeah, very

552
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: I think the first round running but the first three

553
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: running backs are interesting. And Michael Carter in the is

554
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: a kind of a sleeper there. But Harris stands alone

555
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: is first rookie off the board. Chase his second maybe

556
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: probably goes ahead of him just because you're back, but

557
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: Chase is a quality one. But the next couple of

558
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: receivers aren't super exciting. They didn't land in great spots,

559
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: so that Davante Smith could be interesting. Yeah, you know

560
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: if he emerges as the true number one. Yeah, Pitts

561
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: is again the top five tight end. I believe in

562
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: that neighborhood. But it's a tight end. But usually get

563
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: him a much more of a rookie infusion of early

564
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: redraft picks, and I'm not sure I'm backing on that,

565
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: not this year, but interesting. Yeah, the first time we

566
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: talked about that, I'm sure our opinions will change too.

567
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: But what's all said and done, Harris might go aped

568
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: the overall. He's a good he should be a front

569
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: runner for offensive rookie the year. Yeah, I've seen the

570
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: odds and they're not super in his favor, which shocks me,

571
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: which is crazy. I mean, I understand Laurence should be one,

572
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: but right after that, I mean, I'll take him against

573
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: people's people talked about that with Burrow last year. Burrows

574
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: an easy slam dunk. Well, quarterbacks do get hurt, you know,

575
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,719
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's worth throwing a shekel or two

576
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: down on Yeah, right, right, right now, I think Harris

577
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: is a real chance. That's gonna do it for this

578
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: segment of the Drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. So

579
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,200
