I'm 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: Paul charge In my co host as usual, Brian Johnson, 7 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: what's up, Charge? Hey, great to have you here.

The next series of shows are 10 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: gonna be dedicated to rookies. Brian, Yeah, it's about that time. 11 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: Let's get this draft going. Let's get the draft going. 12 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: I know it's uh, you know, it always feels like 13 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: there's a long, long lead up to the draft, But 14 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: I think it's just because we care and you know, 15 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: we spend two or three months planning for it and 16 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: looking forward to it. Now, do you think these rookies, 17 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: because I think we got to touch on this, that 18 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: we're playing seven team games. Now, imagine going into your 19 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: starting a new company and they're like, well, you're gonna 20 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: have to work an extra extra week, extra at least 21 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: half per day something like that. I think they're excited 22 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: about this or uh, they're they're young, they should be. Yeah, 23 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: they're they're gonna be They're gonna be fine. I mean, look, 24 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: this is a this is the players negotiated this themselves. 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: So you know, I don't know if the owners took 26 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: advantage of the players that you're ago at this time 27 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 1: when they when they negotiated this deal in the depths 28 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: of the pandemic or not. But quick thumbs up or 29 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: thumbs down from a fantasy perspective, seven, Yeah, I'm with you. 30 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: Excuse with the records. We love talking records and those 31 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: are certainly pertinent to fantasy football. And man, these guys, 32 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: they essentially put their lives on the line for the 33 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: sake of players. They're highly compensated, they are they're getting 34 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: in too. There's no surprise for them that this is 35 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: a contact game. Um, but you know, we already have 36 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: a lot of injuries, and we already have a lot 37 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: of situations where guys missed a lot of time. And 38 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: I I just and I always felt like sixteen games 39 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: was plenty of time to figure out who was the 40 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: champion of your league. And you know, I didn't feel 41 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: like there was uh, there was a real problem, like well, 42 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: you know, you know so and so in the championship. 43 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: But if we'd have gone one more week, you know, 44 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: then the outcome would have been different. And with sixteen weeks, 45 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: really the best team in your league usually gets screwed 46 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: anyway too, right, there's plenty of those two weeks or 47 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: plenty of time to let the best team in your 48 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: league just go belly up. It does happen a lot 49 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: that way. So this week we're going to talk about 50 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks, and we'll turn our attention to different positions 51 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: in each of the weeks leading up to the draft, 52 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: and then obviously after the draft, we'll do a series 53 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: of shows about where these guys all landed up and 54 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: what we think they're their fantasy value is gonna be like, 55 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: and so for these shows before the often it's largely 56 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: about familiarizing ourselves with the fantasy notable players that we 57 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: think can make a difference, especially in short order with 58 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: their teams, beginning at the quarterback position. So we're gonna 59 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: hit on six guys, Trevor Lawrence, Zack Wilson, Justin Fields, 60 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: Trey Lands, Mac Jones, and the sixth guy is just 61 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: a favorite of mine. Davis Mills, who I'm really intrigued by. 62 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: There's the big five and then you're your sixth quarterback 63 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: is TBD. But I'm with you on on Mills. He's 64 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: really intriguing. I'm really drinking right and I'm not I'm 65 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: not guaranteeing he's going to be an impact player in 66 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: the NFL, but he's got the upside to do that 67 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: if things break right for him. And um, and we'll 68 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: talk more about Davis Mills at the end of this. 69 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: Let's begin with Trevor Lawrence Brian Um. Everybody knows that 70 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: he's they're barring a shot going to go to Jacksonville 71 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: with the first overall pick. Let's talk about him and 72 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: what he'll bring to the table, presumably for Jacksonville. Yeah, 73 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: nine percent chancey he ends up with the Jaguars, and uh, 74 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: if he does, he should be the starter. Ye right 75 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: out of the game. Sorry Gardner, Minshew and you all 76 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: you Minshew Bobos and some exciting weapons in Jacksonville. In 77 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: d J. Chark, the newly acquired Marvin Jones, the vastly 78 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,239 Speaker 1: underrated Marvin Jones as marked on for weeks, Laviska Chennault, 79 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: James Robinson and running back. And I mean at this point, 80 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, we know he checks all the boxes on paper, 81 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: size and the metrics in college the most, the winning 82 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: ist uh quarterback against Power five schools, and he's played 83 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: like twice as many as the other quarterback prospects. He's 84 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: just great. A blue chip prospect. What can you say? 85 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: So I think he's he's more. You know, at this 86 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: time last year, we're talking about Joe Burrow as being, 87 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: you know, an astounding blue chip prospect, which you was, 88 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: but Lords has done it for longer and it seems 89 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: even more battle tested and more likely. And Burrows turned 90 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: out great, more likely to be headed for a successful 91 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: NFL career than than Burrow was. And the in the 92 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: enticing thing with the Jaguars from a fantasy perspective is 93 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: they're not a great team. Maybe they're on their way up, 94 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: but it's it tends to have their offense chasing points 95 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: more often than not. So it's a great point. Right now, 96 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: Lawrence is going off the board, and like in best 97 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: ball leagues, rejaft leagues, like quarterback sixteen, he's right, He's 98 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: going right after Matt Ryan's, the Joe Burrows, Ryan, Tannehills, 99 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, and before Kirk Cousins Baker Mayfield. So he's 100 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: settled right into that fantasy relevant territory for a guy 101 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: who's not all that mobile. I mean, he's he's mobile, 102 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: but he's not like the other guys we're going to 103 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: talk about, right, He's not like Justin Fields and Trey Lance. 104 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: That's a pretty high ranking for for a guy who's 105 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: gonna make most of his points with his arm as 106 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: a rookie in Jacksonville. And he's certainly viable as a backup, 107 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: but I don't I want him as my backup if 108 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: I have like Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen is my starter, right, 109 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: I think I think the ceiling is very high for 110 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: Lawrence in his first year as a rookie, just from 111 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: a redraft perspective, But the floor is also very scary. 112 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: So if I'm rolling out Matthew Stafford or Baker Mayfield 113 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: is my QB one, I don't know if Trevor Lawrence 114 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: is the backup I really want. I want like an 115 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: elite option in one quarterback leagues. If I'm contemplating Lawrence 116 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: so let's let's talk about his longer term outlook with 117 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: Jacksonville for Dynasty and Empire League players. For Trevor Lawrence, um, there, 118 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: the offense is not the problem so much in Jacksonville. 119 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: It's a horrible defense. And he does have some weapons 120 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: around him, and mostly young weapons. No, not so much Jones, 121 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: Marvin Jones, but other people around him. That suggests that, 122 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: you know, there could be a long and reasonably good 123 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: run for Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville. And you know, as 124 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: we'll talk through the rest of the guys, I don't 125 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that I would take 126 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence first in the Dynasty draft because of the 127 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: running prowess we're gonna get with these other guys. And 128 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: you mean in a startup, not just a rookie, not 129 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: just a rookie trap, but in a Dynasty start up, 130 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: his value is up from re draft. He's in the 131 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: eight quarterback eight nine range. I mean, of course Mahomes, 132 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, justin Herbert Dak Prescott 133 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: and then right, but he's right in the mix there 134 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson. If you're starting a startup league, Russell Wilson, 135 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow or Trevor Lawrence. Like he's right. If those 136 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: three guys, he's right in that mix. In the top ten, 137 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: let's go to Zach Wilson, presumably the the second quarterback 138 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: expected to be taken in the draft, that'd be by 139 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: the Jets. We should say, yeah, so Jacksonville. Of course, 140 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: Jets at number two. Niner is probably at three, and 141 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: then Falkin's Panthers Broncos are like the real quarterback needy teams. 142 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: And we'll talk about when we get to pick four, 143 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that a little bit more. But I, 144 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: you know, pick two, I don't think the Jet Jets 145 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: would be more on it not to take a quarterback here, 146 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: even if they love Sam Donald. And by the way, 147 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: nothing bugs me more than teams that are totally cool 148 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: with having competitions at every position, but not quarterback. Oh no, 149 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: our frail the frail psyche of our quarterbacks. If we 150 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: if they, if they do draft Zack Wilson here, everybody 151 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: just assumes they have to move Sam Donald. My feeling is, why, 152 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, Sam Donald might still be a good quarterback, 153 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: You're gonna get a third round pick or maybe a 154 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: second round pick for Sam Donald. He's worth more to 155 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: just keep and find make sure you know what you've 156 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: got in him, because Donald has flashed moments of greatness, 157 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: and he's been in such a bad position over his 158 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: entire career with terrible coaching and a bad offensive line 159 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: and few good receivers. Man, if you're the Jets, just 160 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: I keep both guys and let him battle it out 161 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: and see who see who what you've got? And maybe 162 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: you have great quarterbacks? Fine, how many NFL teams have 163 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: two starting caliber quarterbacks on their team? Not and Donald? 164 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, if the Jets do not take a 165 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: quarterback or trade down from two, and I guess the 166 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: worst case, you know, I said the worst thing apage 167 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: that they're both good. I guess really the worst seeing 168 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: appage that they're both bad. But still you needed to 169 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: draft Uno the quarterback to find out one of them 170 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: was bad. She's not a great asset for for trade 171 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: purposes in the future. So so Zach Wilson presumed the 172 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: to go to the Jets. And even if he doesn't, fascinating, 173 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: fascinating guy. And I gotta warn you when we talk 174 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: about Zach Wilson. You're going to think we're talking about 175 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes because the skill set is really similar. But 176 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: to be clear, obviously he's gonna have to prove a 177 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: lot before he's even remotely on par with Patrick Mahomes. 178 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: But the skill set is similar. Did his dad picture 179 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: the twins? Though, that's probably he's missing that from from 180 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: his bag. So Zach Wilson has a special NFL caliber 181 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: arm and in better than that, I mean his arm. 182 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: His arm ability alone could put him in the top 183 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: five of NFL quarterbacks if he realizes his potential. The 184 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: arm is fantastic. He has a shocking ability to throw 185 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: deep strikes and not even with planted feet. Much like Mahomes, 186 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: who can throw crazy accurate deep passes while on a 187 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: dead run. There is some of that with Zack Wilson too. 188 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: He doesn't have to plant his feet to throw deep 189 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: balls and accurately and just effort effortlessly. He's just he 190 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: He just flicks his wrist and the balls going forty 191 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: five yards downfield. He had a sixty five yard pass 192 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: in a game last year against I think it was Western, 193 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 1: uh Western, it was Wyoming or somebody um and he 194 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: just made it. Look it just effortless. Just do you 195 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: worry out of b y U? Of course is Zach 196 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: Well Wilson is UM a Mormon in the Big Apple 197 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: uch in general, right, the football culture, shock of going 198 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: to the Jets. But but yeah, he didn't seem like 199 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: he would be the number, the consensus number two. But 200 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: he has uh, it seems it's leaning that way. It 201 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: is um incredibly efficient release with very little wind up 202 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: as well. So he's got the quick release, which we 203 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: love that. It's just that many fewer sacks, the ability 204 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: to get rid of the ball quickly. Super smart guy, 205 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: you know, book smart. You know, he's an excellent student. UM. 206 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: By all accounts, he ingests the playbook extremely well. So 207 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot to like about Zack Wilson. The things 208 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: that we're gonna look out for are some minor mechanical 209 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: issues like holding the ball too high. He holds the ball, 210 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: he holds the ball up almost at helmet or ear 211 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: level rocket launcher. Yeah, a little bit, right, So they'll, 212 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: you know, they'll work on that. Um. Some people point 213 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: out that he's playing behind in the lead offensive line. 214 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: That meant that he didn't you he had the luxury 215 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: of a lot of time, and that may be, you know, 216 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: that has skewed a little bit of the productivity that 217 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: he's had and injuries limited him to really one year 218 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: of high level play. But what you see when you 219 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: you look at Zack Wilson's games are just remarkable. He 220 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: if he does go to the Jets, Brian Corey Davis, 221 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: Denzel Mims, and Jamison Crowder all all get a big 222 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: bump here. And I think this is a great opportunity 223 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: for Dynasty and Umpire leaguers keeper leaguers to target those 224 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: guys now, especially the Denzel Mims owner right now is 225 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 1: like h I blew that pick last year. There could 226 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: be a chance that Zack Wilson to Denzel Mims is 227 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: going to be a great combination for a long time. 228 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: So I'm I'd be interested in in those in picking 229 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: up those guys on on the cheap right now in 230 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: Dynasty and Empire leagues. You know, for Wilson um in 231 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: terms of redraft, I think he's gonna be He's just 232 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: a backup. I think in his rookie year. Now, rookies 233 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: can become starters like Justin Herbert Right and Joe Burrow, 234 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: those guys were fantasy starters and that he has the 235 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: possibility to do that. Um, it's there's a little bit 236 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: of Jets bias here. I just I don't know for 237 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: sure that in you're one that Jets gonna turn it 238 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: around enough for him to be fantasy viable on a 239 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: regular basis, But he Zack Wilson should get drafted. Yeah, 240 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: like a guy if you're, of course a quarterback league, 241 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: and depending on how deep your league is, but at 242 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: least twelve to fourteen teams, if you're again drafting a 243 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: guy like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, one of these bigger 244 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: name quarterbacks that you're essentially gonna start every week, but 245 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: they're bye week and you're gonna, you know, just fade 246 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: quarterback the rest of the way until the last round. 247 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson's in a Greek candidate. All right, let's go 248 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: to pick number three. This is San Francisco or quarterback 249 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: number three, San Francisco pick. Um, it's gonna come down. 250 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: Everybody believes it's gonna come down to Justin Fields or 251 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: Mac Jones. The the people who seem closest to the 252 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: Niners are all saying mac Jones, which surprises me. A 253 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: little bit because I think I would pick Justin Fields, 254 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: but it um both guys very intriguing. Let's let's talk 255 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: Justin Fields first and break his dame his game down 256 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: for us a little bit. All right, Justin Fields out 257 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: of Ohio State, who doesn't have the best track record 258 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: when it comes to producing pro quarterbacks starting with Dwayne Haskins. Yeah, 259 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean they can't play. I just don't think. 260 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: I just don't think that stuff matters that much. He's 261 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: the most intriguing prospect probably to ever come out of 262 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: the Ohio I don't come to quarterback. Spent a long 263 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: time anyway. Uh. He proved his toughness in the college 264 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: playoffs last year. Essentially died in the semifinal, not really, 265 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: but he broke like two ribs, came back and played 266 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: in the championship. They lost. I think I'm not great 267 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: with college football, but Fields in an amazing athlete. And 268 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: we'll get to how he's a good thrower of the football. 269 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: But the all time quarterback forty yard dash times. Now, 270 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: this isn't combine official Justin Fields today official four four 271 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: or four for Justin Fields. And next up was Russell 272 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: Wilson at four or five five, Cam Newton four or 273 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: five nine, same as Jalen hurt So an elite runner, 274 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: elite runner, wide receiver speed out of out of the 275 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: quarterback position with justin fields. But he proved you could 276 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: throw the ball pretty well last year. Um, here's the 277 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: percentage of total passing yards um from run pass, option 278 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: plays and screen passes last year, amongst so you know, 279 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: cheap yards. Trevor Lawrence of his yards came from r 280 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: P O s, screen passes, Mac Jones twenty two and 281 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: a half percent, then Zack Wilson twelve percent, Trey Lands 282 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: eleven percent, dead last, which is good in this regard. 283 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: He's starting justin fields. Eight and a half percent his 284 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: yards came from r pos and screen passes, So he 285 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: he is a viable quarterback end right now in redrafts. 286 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: He's going a little at his act fields. He's in 287 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: right around QB two range. You know, a backup quarterback 288 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: in UH one quarterback twelve twelve team leagues at QB 289 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: right behind Daniel Jones to Ben Roethlisberger and right before 290 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: guys like Jamis Winston and Jared Goff. And that seems 291 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: about right. I think it's too low because Fields is 292 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: going to run and run well in this league, whether 293 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: it's the Jets or the Niners. Yeah, he's gonna play immediately. 294 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: Not we assume, we assume, we assume, but um, but yeah, 295 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: when it comes to Dynasty, he pretty pretty undervalued here too. 296 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: He's well, maybe not quarterback twelve that's up there. I mean, 297 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: he's right behind Aaron Rodgers who was sixteen years this 298 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: senior at this point. But on the long term upside, 299 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: outside of Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields has the most I 300 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: feel like outside of mac Jones and Trade Lands. So 301 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: now for the forty, if it is the forty Niners, 302 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo still there, and I think, you know, there's 303 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: a good chance Garoppolo starts the season for the Niners, 304 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: whether they go Fields or they go mac Jones. Um. 305 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: And so there may have to be you may just 306 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: have to be patient on on that to play itself out. 307 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: The presumption is that Garoppolo will lose the jobs sooner 308 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: or later. But we are only one season removed from 309 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: Garoppolo bringing the team to the Super Bowl, so it's 310 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: not it's not a certainty that will happen. But we're 311 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: considering what the forty Ninders paid to move up. Everybody 312 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: assumes that they're gonna there. Ultimately will make the switch 313 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: to whichever quarterback they end up drafting. From a re 314 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: draft perspective, though, way better for Fields to good to 315 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: the Niners than the Jets this year alone. Kyle Shanahan, 316 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,239 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know. Shanahan's I think he's just an 317 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: offensive He's he is. He's an offensive wizard and can 318 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: get production out of guys that have no business, uh 319 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: getting that kind of production. So we've talked a lot 320 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: about Justin Fields or Mac Jones. What I want to 321 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: do is take a break, come back, and let's talk 322 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: about Mac Jones. And you know, because he could go 323 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: as high as three here to San Francisco, and then 324 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: if he doesn't go here, he could actually fall quite 325 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: a bit. So we'll talk through the the Fields Jones 326 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: debate a little bit here and familiarize ourselves with Mac 327 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: Jones when we come back. Welcome back Paul Charchie and 328 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: Brian Johnson with you Fantasy Football Weekly. We're going through 329 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,479 Speaker 1: the rookie quarterbacks, getting a little more familiar deep dives 330 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: with these guys. Let's talk about mac Jones. He does 331 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: not have the sensational arm that we've seen with the 332 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: first three guys that we've talked about, the eye popping 333 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: arm traits, but super productive player, super poised and um 334 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: and as NFL ready as anybody outside of Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, 335 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: there's he might be the most polarizing prospect when it 336 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: comes to right. There's a lot of love and a 337 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: lot of hate. I agree with tion for mac Jones 338 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: is good size, uh, six ft three, Uh, Like you said, 339 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: not an e white arm, but a pretty good arm. 340 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: His career passing grade versus the Blitz as these other 341 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: draft prospects uh. In college, mac Jones had the highest 342 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: grade against the Blitz point four according to Pro Football Focus, 343 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: ahead of Trevor Lawrence at number two and Zach Wilson 344 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: at three. His career passing GREDE against Power five teams 345 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: was the highest among the quarterback prospects. He was first 346 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: at ninety four point seven QP raiding against five teams 347 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: against just above justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence. So yeah, 348 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: it's it's some people are gonna hate the pick whatever 349 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: team here if he ends up on quote unquote your team. 350 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: Some people are gonna love it and some are gonna 351 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: hate it. But this is really he seems to have 352 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 1: all the tools to be a great pro quarterback. But 353 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna be, uh, show me what you got, Mac, 354 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: But it's gonna be to the Jets or to the 355 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: forts one would suspect. So for Mac Jones from a 356 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: fantasy standpoint, he doesn't have nearly to me the sizzle 357 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: that these other guys do because they is not good. 358 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: You know, he said he's not gonna have the rushing 359 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: that you're gonna get out of tray lance or justin fields, 360 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: or even some of the scrambling ability for for Zach 361 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: Wilson Um. But you know, he is a good accurate passer. 362 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: I just don't think he's going to have the bananas upside. 363 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: He's gonna feel like his upside is like what Philip 364 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: Rivers gave us over the course of his career. Yeah, 365 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: in redrafts, you're you're not drafting him. He might be 366 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: a waiver wide we have wire pick up later on 367 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: in the year named Dynasty. You're not drafting him as 368 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: a with QB one upside in a super flex league, 369 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,959 Speaker 1: which is what we play primarily he's got QB two 370 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: upsideer shirt like you said of Philip Rivers, maybe Matt Stafford. Yeah, 371 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: that's a good way to be cursed by Detroit for 372 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: the majority of his career. But that's kind of his ceiling. 373 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: But not not a mahomes like feeling. Like you said, 374 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the mobility to be a Josh Allen 375 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: or Lamar Jackson type prospect. He all right, let's go 376 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: to our fifth quarterback that we're gonna break down, and 377 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: that's Tray Lance. Lance should go fourth or fifth among quarterbacks, 378 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: and there's a chance that the top five picks of 379 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: this draft will be quarterbacks. Now in the NFL, there's 380 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: never been more than the top three picks have never been. 381 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: There's never been more than three quarterbacks taken in the 382 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: first three picks. So that's what I'm trying to I 383 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: think what I'm trying to say, there's never been four 384 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 1: in a row, and there's never been five in a row. 385 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: There could be all five. If Atlanta either moves their 386 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: pick or takes quarterback, they should take quarter um and 387 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: then Cincinnati at five might deal their pick because somebody 388 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: want might want mac Jones, especially if mac Jones goes 389 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: three to San Francisco, as you mentioned, superpolarized, it goes 390 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: so San Francisco loves him and they take him at three. 391 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: That pushes Justin Fields and Trey Lance down to four 392 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: and five. And how somebody's gonna pay Cincinnati to move 393 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: up to that spot you mentioned the I think the 394 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: most obvious candidates Carolina and Denver, but don't forget Philadelphia 395 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: doesn't seem totally settled at Jay with Jalen Hurts, and 396 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: they may end up making a move because they don't 397 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: have far to go. And then there's of course New 398 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: England they need a quarterback. Uh So those are all 399 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: some some trade possibilities up to four or five for 400 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: Atlanta or Cincinnati, and again especially if mac Jones goes 401 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: a pick three. So let's talk about Trey Lance. Fascinating 402 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: prospect um who has as much upside as anybody in 403 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: this entire draft, including Trevor Lawrence. He is an incredible 404 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: athlete with all the raw skills to be an elite 405 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL if everything breaks his way out 406 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 1: of North Dakota State, So Dakota State lesser competition absolutely 407 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: at the highest, which still people are gonna hold that 408 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: against him. People are gonna hold the failures of Carson 409 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: Wentz against him for sure, you know, right or wrong. 410 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: And um amazing arm strength he throws sixty plus yards. 411 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: Uh frequently strongest arm in this rookie class. And there's 412 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: a rookie class loaded with arm talent. He's got the 413 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: strongest arm here. He had a massive A dot average 414 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: depth of target of eleven and a half yards. That 415 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: is massive. So when Trey Lance through the ball, he through, 416 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: he threw down field. Remarkable running ability for Tray Lance 417 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: as well. Now, if people are gonna give Lance, you know, 418 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: give him a hard time about Carson Wentz, I want 419 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: him to think a little further back to Steve Air 420 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: McNair out of Elkhorn State, another small I only don't 421 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: call it D two anymore of it. Back then it 422 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: was D two. So if you're gonna compare fields to 423 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: uh sorry Lance too, uh wins, also compare him to 424 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: McNair because the smaller schools can can you can? You 425 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: can do it now, Tray Lances running ability is really special. 426 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: He now he weighs two pounds. He's a big guy. Um, 427 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: not quite linebacker big, but he is a big dude. 428 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: His running reminds me of Cam Newton's running. You know, 429 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: a guy his size shouldn't be as fast as he is. 430 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: He is fast, and he's got some wiggle with his running. 431 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: He is going to be a fantasy powerhouse if he can, 432 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: if he can get, if he can get the passing 433 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: to a point where he stays on the field. Is 434 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: a good passer. Tray Lance never lost a game as 435 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: a starter he had. He makes very few bad decisions 436 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: and that's awfully rare for a young kid. Now, maybe 437 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: part of that is and this is you know, you 438 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier small school, small school defenses, so maybe it 439 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: wasn't challenged that way, and he will make more mistakes 440 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 1: obviously at the next level. The only average eighteen dropbacks 441 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: per game. That's not a lot. Now it's because nds 442 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 1: US got a run is a run heavy program and 443 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: because he ran a lot, so they didn't ask him 444 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: to pass all that often, and so we haven't seen 445 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: a ton of his passing. The biggest issue though, accuracy. 446 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: His his accuracy is fair, and that's something that doesn't 447 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: always get better, Brian, sometimes it does. Josh Allen's accuracy 448 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: was awful, and it got way better as he got older, 449 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: so it can get better. Um, his mechanics are going 450 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: to be passing. Mechanics are gonna need to help as well. 451 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: I just think that the perfect spot for Trey Lance 452 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: is Atlanta, where he learns and he can spend at 453 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: least a year on the bench and work out the 454 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: negatives that we've talked about with his game. I agree, Yeah, 455 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: he's not. He's probably the rawest of the Big five 456 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: quarterback prospects, but might have the highest ceiling. He might. 457 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: I think he does have the highest ceiling if everything 458 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: breaks right for him. So really really excited to see 459 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: what Trey Lance ends up doing at the next level. 460 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: From I think you should get drafted. Depends a lot 461 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 1: on where he goes. Again. Ideally is a backup, But 462 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: if he's not a backup and he's pressed into service 463 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: in his first year, he's absolutely draft old because the 464 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: running ability he's going to give you better runner than 465 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts I think. And Jalen Hurts was a fantasy 466 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: startable quarterback for his three or four games at the 467 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: end of the year. Yeah, and in Lance is he's 468 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: going slightly ahead of Mac Jones and dynasty formats behind 469 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: him in redraft. He's the one quarterback where you're not 470 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: You don't expect much from Lance this year, but his 471 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 1: long term prospects really good, way more into really good. 472 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about my, uh my, my most 473 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: intriguing quarterback in this draft, and I think it's Davis 474 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: Mills from Stanford. So he's he's grading out. People think 475 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna go roughly third round, but quarterbacks, some team 476 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: always needs a quarterback and ends up taking him early. 477 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: But watch out for Pittsburgh into the second round. All right. Um, 478 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: they have to get a contingency plan for next year 479 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: in place, and Davis Mills might be that guy. I 480 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: think I'm calling my shot right now, Pittsburgh's selection end 481 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: of the second round, Davis Mills, I get it right. 482 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: It's a there'll be some peacocking on this show. If 483 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 1: I do get it right, can take on this. No, 484 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: I don't think it's like peacock on your this is 485 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: NBA talk. You're Anthony Edwards Rookie of the Year prediction 486 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: from from early February when he was twenty to one. 487 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: That was a good one. Um, so here's the deal. 488 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: On Davis Mills from Stanford. He's only played eleven games 489 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: due to injuries and COVID, and he came out of 490 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: high school rated as a five star recruit by like 491 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 1: every service. They all loved it. And he's like, he's 492 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: like six four, He's like your prototype size, prototype size. 493 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: Everybody wanted him. He threw for six thousand yards in 494 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: high school and he scored eighty nine touchdowns in high 495 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: school between passing and running. Uh, that's Davis Mills. I 496 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: can't even do that per game, Matt. That's like, yeah, 497 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh, super super poised in the pocket. 498 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: He really looks comfortable. He looks like he looks like 499 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: he's played there for even though he only the eleven starts. 500 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: You look at him, he does not look at any 501 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: way skittish about that role. He's got good arm strength. 502 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: It's not a cannon. Davis Mills is not, you know, 503 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: not one of the other quarterbacks we talked about, like 504 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson and Trey Lance that way. But he has 505 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: good arm strength, highly accurate passer to all parts of 506 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: the field. And I love when you can get that 507 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: combination of of good arm strength and high accuracy man, 508 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: that's the that is a real indicator of NFL success potential. 509 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: He's a decisive passer with quick release and I like 510 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: that about him as well. Um, not somebody's gonna be 511 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: you know, sitting in the pocket waiting too long, absorbing 512 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: sacks or winding up with a windmill throw and then 513 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: you know, getting sacked halfway through the release. There are 514 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: some issues, of course for players only start eleven issues. 515 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: He needs to set his feet for maximum accuracy. He's 516 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: making he does, has made mental mistakes, and he's had 517 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: bad throws, and he has basically no mobility. Um, So, 518 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: Davis Mills, I think a very interesting player. And you 519 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: know Ben Roethlisberger hasn't had any real mobility for most 520 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: of his career either. You know, the Steelers know how 521 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: to work how to work around a quarterback who doesn't 522 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: bring that to the table. So Davis Mills, Yeah, I 523 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: like intriguing. Yeah, the top five the guys we discussed before, 524 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: Davis Mills are pretty much setting stone. But the number 525 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: six is up in the air. But I'm with you 526 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: on team Mills QB. Davis Mills, Um, it'll be fascinating 527 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: to see where he goes and in the right landing spot. 528 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: I think he's he's gonna be a nice dark horse 529 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: for sleepers. Uh for for dynasty empire leagues, or you 530 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: just if you can sit on a guy, develop them, 531 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: wait a year or two. Uh, Davis Mills, maybe your player. 532 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: Thanks Brian spun fun breaking down quarterbacks next week. I 533 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: believe we're going to do running backs next week. We'll 534 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: find out for sure, but I believe we're gonna be 535 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: running backs, and it is a It's a crowded running 536 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: back crop. Matt starting in like second third round. There's 537 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,239 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of good running backs you are 538 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: gonna drop. Thankfully, a few of these guys didn't declare 539 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: last year. They could have in a really thin class. 540 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: But it's pretty meaty, so it is very fun to 541 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: talk about. Can't wait for that.
