0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>time over a year since I've I've seen Greggy, I've

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>seen Frankie since then, but it's been We got the

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>invite to Lukers. I heard. I had literally no idea

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.679
<v Speaker 1>what was happening. I was told we were going to

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 1>some chicken spot. Yeah. There was just like I was

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>walking and I was like wait and there was like

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>fifteen people I knew in front of Lugers and I

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>was like, this is awesome. That's awesome. It was a

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>great night. But delicious. Did you like your food more

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>than Frank did? I loved it, Frank, you didn't love it.

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>It was a little it was not cook. I told

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.799
<v Speaker 1>you I liked the food right now. They said that

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>it was a little bit more read than I would

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>have liked. Well, we had this discussion. Frank said, how

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>do you eat your steak? I said, normally medium, But

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>when you come to a place like this, medium rare,

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Like you gotta do that And Frank said, no, I'm

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>more of a I listened. You like your steak medium? Well,

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you said, right? Is that it right? Is that is

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>that bad? It wouldn't say it's good. Yeah, I think

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.399
<v Speaker 1>that's a little bit overcooked. Just I don't I don't

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>like my meat too block it makes you feel better.

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>The President likes his meat well done. Let catch up,

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's catch up. I don't do either of those things.

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I hope not. Let's bring in our buddy, e y

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.359
<v Speaker 1>or Yo, what's up you y going on? Boys? Uh?

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Wine shirt days? We're all looking real, real, real solid um.

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Dixon Flannel company sends me all my shirts and they

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>are the best colored shirts. You can wash them, the

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>collar never crumbles or fades. I mean, I'm telling you,

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>these are the best shirts and they're super affordable. Awesome stuff.

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Awesome guys. There you go, And that's a plug for you.

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>If I've ever heard one, e Y strikes me as

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 1>a big steak eater. E Y, how do you eat

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>your steak medium rare? Uh? Well, that's what I the

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>other day. I would have loved that he was a

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>man's man, was there. If you're a person that that

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:11.839
<v Speaker 1>eats steak well done, don't talk to me totally. Don't

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 1>get it well done. I don't. I don't get it

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>well done. You wouldn't mind it well eat? Eat slice

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 1>roast beat from the from the grocery store. Something. You're

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:22.840
<v Speaker 1>wasting your time, amateurs, amateur Uh So the story of

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>the Hawaiian shirts in this room that you're seeing, we

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>told it last week, going to relay it again. So

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the Hawaians were all wearing are from my closet, and

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 1>these were all worn by me in the sixth grade

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 1>when I was twelve years old, and they all still fit.

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 1>They somehow fit, they stay somehow fit us pretty nicely.

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>To be honest with you, That's why I was saying

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:46.479
<v Speaker 1>right before the show started, I would love to see

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 1>a picture of sixth grade Greg wearing one of these shirts,

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>because I had to be addressing. I don't think it was.

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>These fit us very well, in fact, quite perfectly. Actually,

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Like this is like I went to a store and

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:00.479
<v Speaker 1>was buying Hawaiian shirt. This is the size I would buy. Yeah,

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I would not mind laying on a peach right now

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 1>with a with a fruity drink in my hand, pretty

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>drinks or that day. Yeah, I wouldn't mind. Whatever you

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>want to do. I'm pretty sure at least mind and

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Frank's close from like middle school would still fit us

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>today because I I don't know about Frank. I think

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>probably so. But baggy clothes were in when we were

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 1>in middle so I used to wear like a four

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>x T and like I was like five foot, it

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>would fit me. It would probably be big on me.

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 1>Today it's pretty good. I didn't button it up because

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.040
<v Speaker 1>like the shirt has a hood and stuff, but it's

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>fitting pretty well. I think so too, man, I think

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>so too. Alright on the program, name is gonna be

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 1>a great great show today because an our one. We're

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 1>going over the second round. Frank and I today first round, mok.

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 1>We only had one player that was not in um

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the same in between the first round, and that was

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Michael Thomas. Michael Thomas, that's right, who signed a big

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 1>extension today, and I had Joe Mixing. That was difference

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Michael Thomas versus Joe Mixes. So one player each that

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>was different. Everything else. We did a couple of picks

0:05:58.360 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>for each other, so that was pretty cool. I assume

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>that today will be a little bit different. We're gonna

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 1>go over the second round. Will we come back that

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll do it now. I'm gonna tell you guys what

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.119
<v Speaker 1>our first round was, and you let me know both

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>you Mike and you euy, what really stands out is

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 1>wrong to you? If you could, like, well, let you

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:15.720
<v Speaker 1>know what we did, and you let me know what

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 1>you really dislike or we're all so for me my

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>top twel when you care years In the second, frank

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 1>take Kawon Barley number one, c MC number two, Alvin Camara, three,

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Ezekiel Elliott, four, DeAndre Hopkins five, Davanta Adams six, David

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Johnson seven, levy On Bell eight, Jimmy Connor nine, Julio Jones, ten,

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Michael Thomas, Levin and Juju twelve. Frankie take Kawon Barkley,

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:43.799
<v Speaker 1>Alvin Kamara, CMC, Zekiel Elliott, David Johnson, Davante Adams, DeAndre Hopkins,

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Julio Jones, Levian Bell, James Conner, Joe Mixon, and Juju

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Smith Schuster So Flora after hearing that, what do you

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 1>think mine would be a lot different only only because

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 1>of uh, not a lot of different names, but different

0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.359
<v Speaker 1>order because of stylistic approach this year heavily, heavily a

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>believer that there's a finite value of running backs. We

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>are going to give you two fifty plus touches. I

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>want one of those guys on my team. I like

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 1>the receivers in round two a lot. I'm gonna get

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a running back and round one kind of guy. So

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>this is like my top seven picks would all be

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>running backs. What stands out to you in our first rounds? Yeah,

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I feel like all those guys are are fairly there.

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm gonna be honest, I still have Ezekiel Elliott one.

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I believe they're going to get it done. Jerry Jones

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 1>will pay him, he will play this year. He's been

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 1>in the system for a while. He doesn't really need

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 1>to be a training camp. Zeki Elliott's my number one

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 1>one running back and that hasn't changed. But I mean

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the order would be a little bit different for me,

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>but that's basically and Nick Chobs are definitely in my

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>top twelve. Nick Chob definitely in your top twelve. We're

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna get into Nick Chub because he is my next twelve.

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll discuss where he lands as well, and some of

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 1>the other running backs like Damian Williams you here from

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Todd Gurley, who I know Mike Floyd has a lot

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Frank staffle Michael Florio in studio, Eric Young as well

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Rocket on Hawaiians, we were called the Fantasy Jimmy Buffett's

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it. I get behind that lem in

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:41.199
<v Speaker 1>on it wasted game Maville. You know I have a

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:46.200
<v Speaker 1>wedding next year at Margarinaville in Florida. Really yeah, it

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 1>sounds like something you're going to love. I don't see

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 1>how I wouldn't love. Can you wear your Hawaiian shirt?

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to ask if I just wear like a

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>sports jacket with my Hawaiian Yeah, and maybe just button

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:58.600
<v Speaker 1>it all the way up and wear a bow tie

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>with a wine shirt. I get your Head's that supported?

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 1>All right? Let me get to the second round here

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>for me and Frank will reveal his and you guys

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>will obviously all comment at number thirteen. Overall, you're not

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna like this one Florio for me because it's another

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver and he was the one that just missed

0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 1>out of course in my first round. Clease's number thirteen clearly, Um,

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 1>that's Odell Belholm Jr. I had a hard time differentiating

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 1>between Michael Thomas JUJU and Odell's. Odell is the next

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.160
<v Speaker 1>highest player on my board. I think he's in store

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>for a big year with Cleveland as long as you

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 1>can stay healthy. A lot of what you've seen on

0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Twitter over the past few days or all the um

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>all the throws that Eli missed them right all the

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 1>throws where Eli was high and and Odell had like

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>seven steps on um a quarterback, and that should change

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 1>now with Baker Mayfield throwing the ball. I think O'Dell again.

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 1>As long as he stays healthy, He's in lying for

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.079
<v Speaker 1>a big year. He frank he's my number thirteen player

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>overall in the first pick of the second round, I

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.600
<v Speaker 1>don't have him number thirteen. That's where Michael Thomas comes

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 1>in for me, who you had inside your top twelve.

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I still I like Odell Becky. Come I don't have

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>any shares of Odell Beckham because based on where you

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>haven't ranked, other people have him ranked very similarly. And

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.440
<v Speaker 1>whenever I'm in that position, I'm always going Juju over him.

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm always going Michael Thomas over him. So I like

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Odell Beckham, but I haven't really been able to grab him,

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.680
<v Speaker 1>just because there are other wide receivers in that range

0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 1>and I think are a little bit safer. Odell Beckham

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 1>admittedly might have a little bit more upside, but really

0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:25.319
<v Speaker 1>I just want to build my foundation with my first

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 1>two picks. I think Michael Thomas and Juju are safer

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.679
<v Speaker 1>than Odell Beckham this year, Florio, how does that has

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 1>threesome work for you? With Juju, Odell and Michael Thomas.

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of it is your format, like

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 1>and half PPR have them back to back to back.

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I have it Hill, Odell and Juju. Yeah, well oh

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>oh Michael, Okay. So Michael Thomas is to me, he's four.

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I have Tier one for me and all my formats

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 1>is Adams Hopkins, Julio, Michael Thomas. That's my top four,

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and then my Tier two is a combo of Beckham, Juju,

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Hill and Mike Evans and Antonio Brown as well as

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.800
<v Speaker 1>in there. But I like, I do like Odell Beckham.

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I I do have a few shares of him already.

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you, Greggy. I think him and Baker could

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 1>set the world on fire. I would not be surprised

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:14.719
<v Speaker 1>at all if Odell finishes as the w R one

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>this year. We know how talented he is, and he's

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:18.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be in the best offense he's ever been in,

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 1>with the best quarterback I think he's ever been with.

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 1>So I'm really excited for Adell this year. Emy. What

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.319
<v Speaker 1>about you when it comes to Odell Beckham, Michael Thomas. Um.

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess you could throw Tyreek Hill in there as well.

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I wasually get to him in a moment um as

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.959
<v Speaker 1>well as Jus Schuster. I have a hell above all

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.120
<v Speaker 1>of them. Then I have Odell Juju than Michael Thomas.

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the Saints are gonna throw enough for

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Michael Thomas to be in in the top round or

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>even um closer to the top round of the second round.

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.600
<v Speaker 1>So it's, uh, it's it's a sneaky one for me. Yeah.

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I think it's interesting because that's where you come in, right,

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Frankie on Michael Thomas, that you don't think the Saints

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>are going to throw enough to make him not be awesome,

0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:01.480
<v Speaker 1>because he's going to be awesome, but not as great

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 1>as these other players Tyree Hill, Juju Smith Schuster, and

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Odell Beckham Jr. Right. Yeah, I've talked about this a

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.560
<v Speaker 1>lot when we were previewing the Saints. I think there's

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>a direct correlation between how much they've been running the

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 1>ball the past couple of years and their defense being

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 1>better in the fact that Drew Brees is passing attempts

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.320
<v Speaker 1>keep coming down. So I agree with e Y to

0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:22.400
<v Speaker 1>a certain extent. I don't know that Michael Thomas has

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 1>as much upside as other players in this range, like

0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.679
<v Speaker 1>Tyree Hill and Odell Beckham. He hasn't finished higher than

0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver six in any of his first three seasons.

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>He hasn't finished lower than wide receiver seven, So he's

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 1>very consistent. You know what you're going to get out

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 1>of Michael Thomas. If it's a question of consistency versus upside,

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I tend to lean with the consistency. So that's why

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I have Michael Thomas ahead of those two guys. But admittedly,

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 1>I think Tyreek Hill and Odell Beckham probably have more

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.679
<v Speaker 1>upside overall than a Michael Thomas. But I have them

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>all in the same range, like, for example, Tyreek Hills

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 1>my number four team player. He's my next player off

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 1>the board, right after Michael Thomas. Florio, you have Michael

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Thomas inside your top chat Obviously, e Y and Frank

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different. I am, I have them fit.

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I have him fourth, But I think that's here actually

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>end with Julios. How come you're so high on Michael Thomas?

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>What these guys aren't? I do agree with Frank. I'm

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 1>don't think the Saints are going to pass a whole lot. Actually,

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Drew Brees isn't even a top twelve quarterback for me

0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 1>this year, and maybe I I know, like I'm always

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.200
<v Speaker 1>like I'd rather be off a guy year earlier. So

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing too. But Michael Drew Brees last year,

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>first time throwing under four thousand yards since two thousand five,

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:31.600
<v Speaker 1>fewest past attempt since two thousand four. But even with

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>all that said, Michael Thomas was a b S last year.

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Michael Thomas is this team's passing offense. Their whole offense.

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I think is Michael Thomas and a mc kamara this year,

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Like I wouldn't be surprised if they both combined from

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:46.320
<v Speaker 1>monster numbers, dominate target share, dominate air yards, dominate all

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the percentages of everything we want to see, it's gonna

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>go to those two guys. So I do trust Drew

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Brees to get his from Michael Thomas. And Michael Thomas

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.240
<v Speaker 1>is super consistent. He has some of the best hands

0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 1>in the league, is some of the best routes in

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 1>the league, and he just got paid and we don't

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about it. They're fully committed to him.

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 1>The highest paid guaranteed money for an offensive player that

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 1>doesn't play quarterback in NFL history. Clearly this offense is

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 1>going to run through Michael Thomas. I'm not too concerned.

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And I also I do love the consistency. Like Frank

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 1>said that he brings on a week to week basis. Now,

0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Tyreek Hill was the name that you brought off in

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 1>this tier. Um e Y says he has tyreek Hill

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 1>above all of them. Where do you have tyreek Hill? Frank? So,

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I have tyreek Hill just between Michael Thomas and Odell Beckham.

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>So that's the start of a of Well, actually, Juju

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 1>is the start of the of the next tier. I

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 1>agree with you. I have I have Vante Adams, DeAndre Hopkins,

0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and Julio Jones. Is my top three. That's Tier one.

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>That's to me, that's like really round one wide receivers.

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 1>And then tier two is I have Juju, Michael Thomas,

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Tyreek Hill, and then Odell Beckham. Uh, tyreek Hill. Look,

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I think there's risk involved with him as well, because

0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I think at any given moment, like something can happen

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 1>where another piece of evidence comes out, this guy gets

0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 1>suspended or so there's still that in the back of

0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.160
<v Speaker 1>my mind, Like I don't want to just complete Lee,

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, wash him free of like anything that's going

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>on there. But it's just the upside is immense. I mean,

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 1>he finishes the wide receiver one overall lest year on

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>a hundred and thirty seven targets. His targets went up

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>by you know, thirty two from eighteen. And the points

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.640
<v Speaker 1>that he misses out on not having like over a

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred receptions. I mentioned this when we were doing the

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs preview. He makes up with rushing yards. I mean

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 1>people don't really you know, they don't really take that

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 1>into account. But if he's behind these guys about like

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.040
<v Speaker 1>fifteen and twenty receptions, he makes up for it with

0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 1>his you know, a hundred fifty rushing yards every year

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 1>year that he has because he does get a few

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.560
<v Speaker 1>of those uh snaps in the backfield. So I like

0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Tyreek Hill. I'm not gonna say that there's no risk

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.880
<v Speaker 1>involved with drafting him because again, something could pop up,

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 1>but is upside, it's potentially higher than Michael Thomas. I'm

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna keep hitting on that. I don't I don't think

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy to say. I don't know, I don't I

0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.040
<v Speaker 1>don't disagree necessarily that the upside is potentially greater than

0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Michael Thomas. But on but on a week two week basis,

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.240
<v Speaker 1>e y, you don't think, I know, you have Tyreek

0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Hill both Michael Thomas on a weeks a week basis?

0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Are you not more comfortable with Thomas and Hill? I mean,

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>and this always goes down to I mean, I mean

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.719
<v Speaker 1>I feel also I've said this forty times and I'll

0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:12.640
<v Speaker 1>probably say it another two thousand times. It just depends

0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.880
<v Speaker 1>on your draft and how you've constructed your team from

0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 1>that point. I mean, like, do you already have another

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.960
<v Speaker 1>one not wide receiver? Do you have Hopkins? And now

0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.200
<v Speaker 1>in the second round, like, I'm probably not gonna take

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.200
<v Speaker 1>either of those guys. I'm gonna probably take a running back.

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:30.159
<v Speaker 1>So it just depends um on on what you have

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and what you're looking to do in your draft strategy.

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.800
<v Speaker 1>It's the most important part of the draft is have

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.480
<v Speaker 1>a bit of an idea and uh and but you

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.120
<v Speaker 1>gotta be totally plapable depending on who gets taken where. Yeah,

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I look at that consistency and that's why I had

0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Michael Thomas a little bit of above Tyreek Hill. Listen,

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.359
<v Speaker 1>I I think Tyrie Hill is very, very fun and

0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I think having him paired with Patrick Mahomes obviously it's

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:55.199
<v Speaker 1>like they're gonna put up a ton of points. Well,

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:57.440
<v Speaker 1>and again are you pointing to this yesterday with you

0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.200
<v Speaker 1>and Michael Thomas, Right, they had that middle stretch of

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.680
<v Speaker 1>season where he did nothing, and it's very very concerning.

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>But I think there's a better chance that there's games

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.440
<v Speaker 1>where Tyreek Hill also does nothing. Because it's Floria pointed out,

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:10.280
<v Speaker 1>it's almacamara, it's Michael Thomas. And what about Jared Cook.

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I knew was coming. But with Kansas City, like with

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Damie Williams, with Travis Kelsey, with Sammy Watkins, there's just

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 1>but he doesn't even need the target share. That's what

0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:19.840
<v Speaker 1>it comes down to, right. He only had a hundred

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 1>and thirty seven targets last year and still finished the

0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver one. That efficiency is not going the Chiefs

0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:28.080
<v Speaker 1>as a whole. Their offense is not going to be,

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, not nearly as efficient it was it

0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 1>was last year. Like Patrick Mahomes scored more Fantasy points

0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 1>than any quarterback ever, only LT had more than him,

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:39.199
<v Speaker 1>and their offense they were connecting on big plays. They

0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:43.080
<v Speaker 1>were like twenty second in the league in in y'all

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 1>targets to running backs, but they had the most efficient

0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.639
<v Speaker 1>pass kitchen running backs and as far back as the

0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 1>stats can track, so like they're they were off the

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.159
<v Speaker 1>charts efficient that I think we'll take a little hit

0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:56.159
<v Speaker 1>Florial quickly. In drafts in the second round. Would you

0:18:56.280 --> 0:19:00.160
<v Speaker 1>rather draft Tyree Hiller, Travis Kelsey, e Y, Travis else

0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 1>or Tyreek Hill? Jeez? I mean having Kelsey just gives

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.159
<v Speaker 1>you such an advantage of one position to probably Kelsey.

0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:09.879

0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Eligibility restriction supply see website for details. Before the break,

0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:34.439
<v Speaker 1>I asked both of you, guys, e Y and Floria,

0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:37.359
<v Speaker 1>who'd your rather have. It's not even in a vacuum.

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:40.280
<v Speaker 1>It's just because there can't pick very similar to each other,

0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Travis Kelsey or Tyreek Hill. And the reason I asked

0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:47.080
<v Speaker 1>it is because for me, I have Tyree Hill legitimately

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:51.680
<v Speaker 1>one spot above Travis Kelsey. E Y, you said Kelsey, Florio,

0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 1>you said Hill, But it seems like you want to

0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:55.919
<v Speaker 1>change your mind. I go back and forth because at

0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:57.800
<v Speaker 1>first I was like, no, I never took Travis Kelsey

0:20:57.800 --> 0:20:59.959
<v Speaker 1>in the second round. And then as they said Kelsey,

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.360
<v Speaker 1>was like, wait, that's because in all my drafts he's

0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:04.920
<v Speaker 1>gone and usually in the first round. Uh. I don't

0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:07.760
<v Speaker 1>love my team taking a tight end first at all.

0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I I especially, I can't do it. If I took

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 1>a wide receiver in round one, I would need to

0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:14.479
<v Speaker 1>have a running back in my first two picks. But

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:18.760
<v Speaker 1>if I could get that advantage with Travis Kelsey, I'm

0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be pretty happy about that and probably take that.

0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:23.159
<v Speaker 1>And then, look, I love the middle round receiver, like

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the rounds three through like six receivers. I feel like

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:29.080
<v Speaker 1>you can legitimately feel a starting roster with that. So

0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm okay taking Kelsey over Hill there alright, for Frankie,

0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:35.680
<v Speaker 1>what about you, Travis Kelsey or Tyreek Hill? Yeah, I

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.040
<v Speaker 1>would take Tyreek Hill even if we expect both of

0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 1>these players to regress. Uh. Tyreek Hill outscored Travis Kelsey

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:46.040
<v Speaker 1>by forty points last year and half point PPR leagues,

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:47.720
<v Speaker 1>And honestly, I just don't know how much better that

0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Travis Kelsey can possibly get. I think some of that

0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:53.240
<v Speaker 1>ADP that we see was when we assumed that Tyreek

0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Hill was going to be out me more so I

0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:57.840
<v Speaker 1>would put Travis Kelsey in the middle of the second round.

0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:00.359
<v Speaker 1>I have him as my pick eighteen overall here, Greg,

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:05.720
<v Speaker 1>But hundred and fifty targets last year for Kelsey, over receptions, yards,

0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:08.840
<v Speaker 1>ten touchdowns. Honestly, I just don't know how much better

0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 1>he can get. And Tyreek Hill and Patrick Mahomes, it's

0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 1>his play style just matches up so well with Patrick Mahomes. Greg.

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these guys go together like lamb and tuna fish.

0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:23.439
<v Speaker 1>It's a big dead reference. I thank you. It's like

0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:27.600
<v Speaker 1>right around night, a good reference to go. One of

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.680
<v Speaker 1>your buttons is undone too. How about you just I'm

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 1>button the top on two while you're at it, Greg,

0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what you're working with underneath there. I'm good.

0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Sure if you want to see the shirtless you watch

0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:40.159
<v Speaker 1>e Y on Monday nights, which can we lather you

0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:43.919
<v Speaker 1>up with baby oil again? I'm good. God, we've done that.

0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:45.720
<v Speaker 1>We've done that to prove that I that I can.

0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:50.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, yeah, you could do part of what I

0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:52.879
<v Speaker 1>don't think you could pick it up, like you know

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:56.200
<v Speaker 1>before you go take my shirt off. Yeah, there you go.

0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:57.679
<v Speaker 1>I can do. Yeah, maybe like what your hair a

0:22:57.680 --> 0:22:59.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit was that what you do would was that?

0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's definitely the hardest part of what I do. Yeah,

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't get more, all right, So that's that he here,

0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I'd say of wide receivers, obviously Travis Kelsey and a

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:14.800
<v Speaker 1>tear By himself at tight end. But for me, when

0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 1>you get the player number fourteen in the second round,

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:19.480
<v Speaker 1>so the second pick in the in the second round,

0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:22.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not Joe Mixon. I'm still not at Joe Mixon

0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:26.479
<v Speaker 1>because I have Todd Gurley ranked ahead of Joe Mixon.

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:31.600
<v Speaker 1>And the reason I do is simply based on upside. Right,

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:34.000
<v Speaker 1>if all goes right for both of these players, Joe

0:23:34.080 --> 0:23:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Mixon is a first round pick, He's a top seven,

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:39.120
<v Speaker 1>top six running back. If all goes right, Todd Gurley

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:42.200
<v Speaker 1>is the number one overall player in fantasy football. It's

0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:45.280
<v Speaker 1>a better offensive line, it's a better offense. Both of

0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:48.360
<v Speaker 1>these guys I believe are risks. Certainly the injury risk

0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:50.400
<v Speaker 1>comes with Todd Gurley. That doesn't need to be said.

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 1>But Joe Mixon, as I told you yesterday, Frank, for

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:56.760
<v Speaker 1>whatever reason, I can't get fully on board. There's just

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.440
<v Speaker 1>something that screams that it's not gonna work out. You know,

0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 1>new co, new scheme. I get the whole thing. I

0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:04.440
<v Speaker 1>want that upside of Todd Gurley, and I haven't ranked.

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:08.199
<v Speaker 1>I had one spot of Joe Mixon. Yeah, so you know,

0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I had Joe Mixon in my first round yesterday at

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:14.200
<v Speaker 1>pick eleven, just because my logic is you can grab

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:16.440
<v Speaker 1>the running back there and then whatever wide receiver comes

0:24:16.440 --> 0:24:18.919
<v Speaker 1>back to me, whether it's ju Ju, Michael Tomas, Tyreek

0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Hill in that second round range, I'm perfectly fine with that. Uh. Look,

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:25.639
<v Speaker 1>they're both risky. I get it. The injury risk probably

0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:27.399
<v Speaker 1>scares me a little bit more. As bad as the

0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Bengals were last year, all the injuries A J. Green,

0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:32.399
<v Speaker 1>Andy Dalton was injured for part of the year, the

0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:35.000
<v Speaker 1>offensive line wasn't good last year, Joe Mixon still finished

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:36.719
<v Speaker 1>in the top ten running back. He's still finished as

0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 1>RB nine, and I understand Todd Gurley has been the

0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:42.920
<v Speaker 1>RB one, not a r B one, the RB one

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:45.920
<v Speaker 1>each of the past two seasons. He scored forty total

0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns over the past two regular seasons. I'm just scared, man,

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Like you build your foundation of your fantasy teams with

0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:55.640
<v Speaker 1>with your first and your second round pick. I still

0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:58.760
<v Speaker 1>have Girle as my my fifteenth ranked player here. I

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:00.800
<v Speaker 1>have one spot ahead of Odell Beckham because I think

0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:03.280
<v Speaker 1>there's some injury concerned with Odell Beckham obviously as well.

0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Uh So, if if I'm looking at both players there

0:25:06.480 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that are risky, I'd rather go with the running back.

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:12.280
<v Speaker 1>But admittedly I'm kind of scared. I'll throw it your

0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:14.359
<v Speaker 1>away now, Mike, because I know you are. You are

0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the Todd Gurley guy. In fact, I think the last

0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:18.080
<v Speaker 1>time we had you on we were talking about Todd

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Gurley as well. Yeah, not much has changed. I wrote

0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:22.720
<v Speaker 1>this article like a month or two ago, like pass

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 1>him Todd Gurley if you want to lose it fantasy,

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and some people didn't read it, and we're like, I'm

0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 1>not gonna take him over David Johnson and Sae Kwon Barkley,

0:25:29.800 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 1>and I was like that that's not what I'm saying.

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying that at where he's going now, you I

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:37.159
<v Speaker 1>think to take another running back over him after we

0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 1>get you know, past the James Conners and then Levy

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:41.639
<v Speaker 1>on bells of the world, because I have Girly after that,

0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:44.520
<v Speaker 1>I think you're making a mistake. Like Joe Mixon has

0:25:44.560 --> 0:25:47.320
<v Speaker 1>missed multiple games each of the last two seasons. Jonah

0:25:47.359 --> 0:25:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Williams is out for the year. A j Green, he

0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:52.160
<v Speaker 1>may miss a quarter of the season. Who knows how

0:25:52.160 --> 0:25:54.639
<v Speaker 1>he'll be when he comes back. Andy Dalton has missed

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 1>time the last couple of years. That offensive line isn't

0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:59.240
<v Speaker 1>as good as the Rams, the offensive play calling isn't

0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:01.200
<v Speaker 1>as good as the Rams, the quarterback isn't as good

0:26:01.240 --> 0:26:03.440
<v Speaker 1>as the Rams, the receivers around him aren't as good

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:06.359
<v Speaker 1>as the Rams, and most importantly, the offensive scheme is

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:08.960
<v Speaker 1>not built like the Rams. Is the Rams going to

0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 1>be a high It could be it cannot tayor it

0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:15.320
<v Speaker 1>will not be what Sean McVeigh and the Rams have there.

0:26:15.359 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 1>And even if Girley, you know, plays of the snaps

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:21.040
<v Speaker 1>like they're saying, that still started workload. Last year there

0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 1>was not many guys playing seventy plus percent of the

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 1>snaps and I in my article, I wrote it out

0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:29.560
<v Speaker 1>if he gets seventeen touches per game, even if you

0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:32.560
<v Speaker 1>lower his efficiency in recent the last two years combined,

0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:36.080
<v Speaker 1>he's averaged one point one five PPR points per touch.

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:38.600
<v Speaker 1>If you lower that all the way down to one

0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and he gets seventeen touches per game, he still would

0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:44.440
<v Speaker 1>have been the RB eight last year. So the upside.

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:47.000
<v Speaker 1>The downside I think is he if he plays as

0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 1>long as he doesn't miss a lot of time, he's

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:51.320
<v Speaker 1>going to be a top ten back. I feel super

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 1>confident with that. And the upside is that he's not

0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:57.640
<v Speaker 1>only the RB one, he's head and shoulders above every

0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:00.119
<v Speaker 1>other running back, like he is the first player to

0:27:00.240 --> 0:27:03.360
<v Speaker 1>lead the running back position and points back to back

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:07.400
<v Speaker 1>seasons since LT like he he was the I don't

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:09.639
<v Speaker 1>understand he finishes the RB three last year, but in

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:11.679
<v Speaker 1>terms of points per game that I don't think there

0:27:11.680 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 1>was a running back within two of him, So like

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.200
<v Speaker 1>he was so far ahead of everyone else that I

0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:18.439
<v Speaker 1>think the ceiling is a lot higher, and unless he

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:21.119
<v Speaker 1>misses a bunch of time, the floor is too. Because

0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:24.159
<v Speaker 1>let's be honest, if there's any position where you're drafting,

0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and you're accepting that there is an injury risk in

0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:29.400
<v Speaker 1>any sport, it's running back. These guys missed the most

0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:31.479
<v Speaker 1>amount of time. Joe Mixon has misstime, Doalvin Cook has

0:27:31.480 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 1>miss time in recent years, et cetera. That's why I'm

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:35.400
<v Speaker 1>making the case for Todd Gurley, and he would be

0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't have to take him in my first round,

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:40.080
<v Speaker 1>but he would be in my first round. Mike, you

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:42.680
<v Speaker 1>mentioned all the stuff that Gurley has that Joe Mixon doesn't,

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:44.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to mention something that Joe Mixon has

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:48.800
<v Speaker 1>that Todd Gurley doesn't, and that is two legs. He's

0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 1>missed multiple times with knee injury in the last two seasons.

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 1>So is that true? Any misstime in college? And the

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 1>thing with Todd Gurley that I keep going back to

0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 1>is all the reports were clickbait in my opinion, like

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:04.680
<v Speaker 1>there was nothing new. It was never, oh, this has

0:28:04.720 --> 0:28:07.400
<v Speaker 1>happened now. It was always Gurley's gonna be limited. They're

0:28:07.440 --> 0:28:09.280
<v Speaker 1>worried about his knee. They want him to hold up

0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:11.600
<v Speaker 1>for the playoffs, and I'm fine with him sitting out

0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the preseason. In fact, I'm cool with that he's still

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:16.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be practicing. I just don't want him to use

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:19.720
<v Speaker 1>those valuable reps and risk getting injured in the preseason.

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm totally fine with him not playing in those games.

0:28:22.280 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I And we've also heard a lot of positive reports.

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Sean McBey said nothing but positives. Todd Gurley himself has

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:31.159
<v Speaker 1>said positive stuff. M j D has said positive stuff.

0:28:31.200 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 1>To be fair, they did say positive stuff. Of course

0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:35.359
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs last year and in the Super Bowl

0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:37.639
<v Speaker 1>last it did, and nobody knew what was going on.

0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Remember I remember this very vividly. We're trying to set

0:28:40.200 --> 0:28:43.760
<v Speaker 1>DFS lineups, even you know, Fantasy championship lineups. We had

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:45.400
<v Speaker 1>no idea great. I mean, it was it was a

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:46.720
<v Speaker 1>toss up. We didn't know if it was gonna be

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Todd Gurley, if it was gonna be C. J. Anderson,

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:51.440
<v Speaker 1>and we just had no idea it was. We all

0:28:51.440 --> 0:28:54.440
<v Speaker 1>assumed that there was an underlying injury, which I guess

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:56.440
<v Speaker 1>we kind of found out, but we knew he was

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:59.120
<v Speaker 1>battling this knee thing. I mean, it's got to be

0:28:59.120 --> 0:29:01.600
<v Speaker 1>pretty significant. I mean the fact that he just didn't

0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:04.680
<v Speaker 1>play down the stretch, didn't play at times throughout the postseason,

0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:07.240
<v Speaker 1>like during the Super Bowl when they need him most too,

0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 1>he played, but he almost split snaps evenly with c

0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:14.280
<v Speaker 1>j Anders So I so definitely and I agree with

0:29:14.280 --> 0:29:16.960
<v Speaker 1>obviously with all of that. But is it a significant

0:29:17.040 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 1>enough injury and we know it, we've heard chronic arthritis,

0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:21.760
<v Speaker 1>we've heard all that that like six months later, he's

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:24.000
<v Speaker 1>still not is there? So we know there's no surgery.

0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:25.560
<v Speaker 1>And the thing is, I don't know that anyone knows

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the answer to that question, Greg, So it's kind of

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:29.200
<v Speaker 1>just like, but isn't that risk while let me go

0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:31.000
<v Speaker 1>to let me bring you in on this, isn't that

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:33.120
<v Speaker 1>risk here at the top of the second round or

0:29:33.320 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 1>or toward it well worth taking? I believe. So, I

0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:40.240
<v Speaker 1>mean I've said this before, is like, if we think

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:42.440
<v Speaker 1>that that he's the only guy with arthritis in your

0:29:42.720 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 1>in your the only guy with arthritis in his knee

0:29:45.520 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL, you're insane. Is that we're talking about

0:29:48.520 --> 0:29:52.920
<v Speaker 1>it because he's interesting to talk about it. And my

0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 1>question to you guys, though, are you concerned that he's

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:58.760
<v Speaker 1>going to miss games? Because if that's the concern, I

0:29:58.800 --> 0:30:00.600
<v Speaker 1>have that same concern with Doubt and Cook, I have

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 1>that concern with a lot of these running backs. With

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Damian Williams, another guy I love, I have that concern,

0:30:04.960 --> 0:30:08.320
<v Speaker 1>like he's never had this workload before. But I don't

0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 1>foresee a situation where Todd Gurley is phased out of

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:14.600
<v Speaker 1>this offense or where he's sparingly used all year. And

0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:17.320
<v Speaker 1>even if let's say he averages like I keep saying

0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:19.560
<v Speaker 1>the seventeen touches per game, I think he could lead

0:30:19.600 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the NFL and touchdowns again on seventeen touches per game.

0:30:22.440 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 1>That's how much he's used in the red zone. And

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:26.680
<v Speaker 1>that's how good Sean McVeigh is with the running backs

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 1>in the red zone. It was it was basically a

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Girly versus Mixing conversation, because I still have Girly ranked

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:37.480
<v Speaker 1>fifteenth overall, So it's not like I'm significantly down on him.

0:30:37.760 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 1>But for me, it's just I would take Mixing. Time

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:42.800
<v Speaker 1>will tell whether or not you know that is uh

0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:47.200
<v Speaker 1>correct or not. It's just my philosophy is, I'm just

0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:48.800
<v Speaker 1>so scared, like I don't want to take someone that

0:30:48.840 --> 0:30:52.200
<v Speaker 1>already has an injury concern, like like a legitimate one.

0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Joe Mixing has miss games here there I understand that.

0:30:54.480 --> 0:30:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I just I worry that it's not just games, Mike.

0:30:56.800 --> 0:30:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I I I worry about like chunks of time, you know,

0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:03.200
<v Speaker 1>like a month, didn't didn't mix and have m CEL surgery.

0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Terris m cel last year and came back. He's come back,

0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:10.640
<v Speaker 1>but he said he's had knee injuries. Now that's three

0:31:10.720 --> 0:31:12.480
<v Speaker 1>years in a row. I think, going back to college.

0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:16.920
<v Speaker 1>So he's not without concern either. A little bit younger

0:31:17.120 --> 0:31:21.360
<v Speaker 1>youth is on his side, up that much younger. We'll see.

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:24.240
<v Speaker 1>I will tell time, we'll tell when do we come back.

0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:27.560
<v Speaker 1>We need to also talk about the glaring hole in

0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the second round. And his name is Melvin Gordy. What

0:31:31.200 --> 0:31:34.520
<v Speaker 1>do you do with Melvin Gordon We'll try to answer

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:44.320
<v Speaker 1>that next. Hey, thanks for downloading the podcast, and remember

<v Speaker 1>Enjoy the show and face for listening. And in mentioning

0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 1>these running backs, the one name that we continually don't

0:32:26.160 --> 0:32:29.200
<v Speaker 1>mention is Melvin Gordon of the Chargers, and Frank, you

0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and I have talked a lot about this, but I

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:32.280
<v Speaker 1>want to throw it to Florida and Eric because I

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:35.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know. It's very sensitive. Frank, Floria, Sorry, I forgot

0:32:36.120 --> 0:32:41.480
<v Speaker 1>all right, it's been a while. It's been a while. Um,

0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:43.240
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be our thing. Whenever we make a reference,

0:32:43.240 --> 0:32:46.960
<v Speaker 1>we have to say where the references from. It's been

0:32:46.960 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 1>a while, stained big Daddy. So Melvin Gordon holding out

0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:59.240
<v Speaker 1>of training camp for the Charges, there's no indication he's

0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:02.000
<v Speaker 1>showed up anytime him soon. We said yesterday, Frank, that

0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:04.680
<v Speaker 1>is we think it will work. It's alf out, much

0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:07.640
<v Speaker 1>like the Michael Thomas situation, work itself out. But Mike, Eric,

0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:09.880
<v Speaker 1>there's been no indication that's Melvin Gordon thing. He's going

0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:13.520
<v Speaker 1>to work itself out. If you were drafting today, e y,

0:33:13.560 --> 0:33:17.479
<v Speaker 1>where would you feel comfortable drafting Melvin Gordon. I've got

0:33:17.560 --> 0:33:20.440
<v Speaker 1>him outside of the first two rounds, um because of

0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the contract thing. We've said this before in the show. Uh.

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:28.200
<v Speaker 1>The Los Angeles Chargers are famous for being cheap the

0:33:28.200 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 1>front office. They did it last year. They did it

0:33:30.880 --> 0:33:35.440
<v Speaker 1>with Ladamian Thomason. They did it with uh Jacksonvi's and

0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Jackson a noo, they're doing it again with him. I mean,

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:39.600
<v Speaker 1>the reality is on gonna side, on the side of

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:44.880
<v Speaker 1>the player. Melvin Gordon is uh of an excellent to

0:33:44.880 --> 0:33:48.000
<v Speaker 1>top five running back in the NFL um and deserves

0:33:48.040 --> 0:33:51.200
<v Speaker 1>more money than what he's being paid, so he's going

0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:54.719
<v Speaker 1>to hold out. UM. He secured enough seasons where he

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:57.360
<v Speaker 1>can get the free agency, so I think this is real.

0:33:57.440 --> 0:33:59.360
<v Speaker 1>It's not the same kind of situation as is Zekil

0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Elliott michael I. I struggle with this one a lot,

0:34:03.480 --> 0:34:06.320
<v Speaker 1>like currently, and it depends on format and stuff. But

0:34:06.320 --> 0:34:09.320
<v Speaker 1>he comes in pretty much around like RB eighteen nineteen

0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:13.319
<v Speaker 1>for me, and that's behind guys like my tier four.

0:34:13.560 --> 0:34:16.040
<v Speaker 1>He's in my tier four. I'm sorry, he's in my

0:34:16.080 --> 0:34:18.440
<v Speaker 1>tier five right now, running back with guys like Marlon

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Mack and Leonard four Nette mark Ingram because I think

0:34:22.000 --> 0:34:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the top fifteen backs, you know, ending with like Josh Jacobs,

0:34:25.360 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Jones and carry on. Johnson Like, I'd rather have those

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:29.799
<v Speaker 1>guys over him right now because they're a sure thing.

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:32.879
<v Speaker 1>They're a little bit more they're safer. And but why

0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I keep struggling with this is because I moved Zeke

0:34:35.840 --> 0:34:39.040
<v Speaker 1>from one in my rankings to four with this holdout potential,

0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and I move with Melvin Gordon from six to like nineteen.

0:34:42.760 --> 0:34:44.359
<v Speaker 1>It's a huge fall up. But I do think it's

0:34:44.400 --> 0:34:46.560
<v Speaker 1>different like you I was saying, because I think Zeke

0:34:46.640 --> 0:34:49.920
<v Speaker 1>is an elite talent. Uh he also and this is

0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:52.279
<v Speaker 1>I know there's a whole notion of running backs don't matter,

0:34:52.719 --> 0:34:54.840
<v Speaker 1>and I think that the narrative is starting to change

0:34:54.840 --> 0:34:56.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit this year, and it's something that I

0:34:56.600 --> 0:35:00.719
<v Speaker 1>personally believe. I don't think rushing mad. If you are

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:03.120
<v Speaker 1>a running back who can be a dangerous pass catcher

0:35:03.239 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 1>out of the backfield, I think you are uber valuable

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:08.040
<v Speaker 1>to your team. Like I think Christian McCaffrey Nolvin Kamara

0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:09.920
<v Speaker 1>would be super hard to replace. I don't think you

0:35:09.960 --> 0:35:11.960
<v Speaker 1>could just get another running back off the street. Whereas

0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:13.960
<v Speaker 1>for the Russian attempts, I think it's a lot. It's

0:35:13.960 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot more on the line in the scheme and

0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:18.840
<v Speaker 1>all that Zeke Elliott is an elite pass catcher, is

0:35:18.920 --> 0:35:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Melvin Gordon? Is Melvin Gordon an elite rusher has Melvin

0:35:21.800 --> 0:35:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Gordon ben a benefactor of having this great talent around

0:35:25.160 --> 0:35:27.719
<v Speaker 1>him and you know, a great quarterback and and all

0:35:27.760 --> 0:35:30.040
<v Speaker 1>that because before last year his yards per carry we're

0:35:30.040 --> 0:35:34.799
<v Speaker 1>always very low. Plus the Cowboys backup is like Tony Pollard, right,

0:35:34.840 --> 0:35:39.319
<v Speaker 1>who's a pass catching specialist. Alfred Morris. Yeah, yeah, I'm not.

0:35:39.480 --> 0:35:42.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm not worried about that. Whereas Austin Ekeler is. He's

0:35:42.960 --> 0:35:46.120
<v Speaker 1>like an analytical darling, like everyone says Austin Ekeler, and

0:35:46.360 --> 0:35:48.480
<v Speaker 1>it's true, like he stands out in so many of

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:52.200
<v Speaker 1>these advanced stats. Plus they really like uh Josh Jackson there.

0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:55.080
<v Speaker 1>So I have a little bit more concerned with, like

0:35:55.120 --> 0:35:57.239
<v Speaker 1>e Y does that the cow like the Cowboys I

0:35:57.239 --> 0:35:59.840
<v Speaker 1>think will pay Zeke. I'm not confident at all that

0:35:59.880 --> 0:36:02.520
<v Speaker 1>the will pay Melvin Gordon. And after seeing Levian Bell,

0:36:02.560 --> 0:36:05.279
<v Speaker 1>I think Levian Bell really did change the NFL and

0:36:05.360 --> 0:36:07.799
<v Speaker 1>he changed the way running backs think, and I think

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:10.200
<v Speaker 1>it's for the better. But for fantasy it makes it

0:36:10.239 --> 0:36:12.839
<v Speaker 1>a lot frustrating. And for reference, I don't have him

0:36:12.880 --> 0:36:15.080
<v Speaker 1>inside my top two rounds either. I did a best

0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:17.719
<v Speaker 1>ball draft earlier today, Greg and he went in the

0:36:17.760 --> 0:36:20.680
<v Speaker 1>early third round, So just to kind of give people

0:36:20.680 --> 0:36:23.000
<v Speaker 1>an idea of how far Melvin Gordon is following right now.

0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:25.160
<v Speaker 1>So I think that makes sense because the pact that

0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I have Melvin Gordon is and I want to have

0:36:28.040 --> 0:36:30.200
<v Speaker 1>above the one you were speaking about, Mike, because that

0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:33.360
<v Speaker 1>gets me into the Nick Chubb, Damie Williams Doalvin Cook conversation,

0:36:33.960 --> 0:36:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and I have him in this mix. Maybe I'm being

0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:39.160
<v Speaker 1>silly and we're gonna cost myself and maybe ultimately when

0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:41.480
<v Speaker 1>I do draft, I'll drop him down. But Melvin Gordon

0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:43.960
<v Speaker 1>is in this next year for me with Nick Chubb,

0:36:44.840 --> 0:36:48.640
<v Speaker 1>with um, Damie Williams, with Domin Cook, Eric with Thurst.

0:36:48.640 --> 0:36:50.239
<v Speaker 1>To you because you said Nick Chubb is in your

0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:54.680
<v Speaker 1>first round measons, he's above all of these guys. How come, Um,

0:36:54.719 --> 0:36:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I just believe in this offense. I believe Baker is

0:36:57.400 --> 0:37:00.759
<v Speaker 1>going to be better. The addition of Odell com a

0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:04.160
<v Speaker 1>top three, top five wide receiver in the league, the

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Jokus in the offense for another year, Callaway's in the

0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:11.480
<v Speaker 1>offense for another year. Uh, Look, they're they're not going

0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to be able to have guys down low in the

0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:16.719
<v Speaker 1>box to defend this guy. He's a freak athlete. He

0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:19.640
<v Speaker 1>can do everything. I was high on him last year

0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and had him everywhere and ended up paying off in

0:37:21.640 --> 0:37:26.359
<v Speaker 1>the long run, and I'm high on him now. I

0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:28.960
<v Speaker 1>like Nick Chubb a lot greg The only hesitance that

0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I have for him is a lot of us playing

0:37:30.560 --> 0:37:32.799
<v Speaker 1>a half point or full point PPR least. I don't

0:37:32.800 --> 0:37:35.359
<v Speaker 1>know how many catches he's going to pass. And it's

0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:37.040
<v Speaker 1>not one of those situations where I don't think that

0:37:37.120 --> 0:37:39.120
<v Speaker 1>he can be a pass catcher like a Jordan Howard.

0:37:39.160 --> 0:37:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's more like a Leonard four net situation.

0:37:41.600 --> 0:37:43.680
<v Speaker 1>We said this about four net and then it turned out,

0:37:43.800 --> 0:37:46.080
<v Speaker 1>oh wait, he can catch the ball. He's he's They're

0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:48.520
<v Speaker 1>just not always used in that capacity. So I think

0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:50.960
<v Speaker 1>that Nick Chubb can catch the ball, but I don't

0:37:50.960 --> 0:37:52.239
<v Speaker 1>know that they're going to need him to. They have

0:37:52.320 --> 0:37:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Jervis Landry, who can catch a lot of passes in

0:37:54.560 --> 0:37:56.600
<v Speaker 1>the slot close to the line of scrimmage. Same thing

0:37:56.640 --> 0:37:58.839
<v Speaker 1>could be said for David and Joku. And obviously now

0:37:58.840 --> 0:38:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Odell Beckham is going to be there and he's the

0:38:00.520 --> 0:38:03.120
<v Speaker 1>target monster. So and they have and they have Duke Johnson,

0:38:03.160 --> 0:38:05.040
<v Speaker 1>who was one of the best pass catching running backs

0:38:05.080 --> 0:38:07.520
<v Speaker 1>in the league. So for me, the only downside to

0:38:07.600 --> 0:38:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Nick Chubb is the fact that I don't really think

0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:12.359
<v Speaker 1>he's going to catch a lot of passes. But he

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:15.239
<v Speaker 1>can be a and I you know, I'll give you

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a visual for a second. He could beat Derrick Henry

0:38:16.920 --> 0:38:19.160
<v Speaker 1>on steroids, which I can't really imagine Derrick Henry being

0:38:19.160 --> 0:38:22.759
<v Speaker 1>bigger than he is from a fantasy perspective. He's going

0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:24.480
<v Speaker 1>to rush for a lot of yards. He's going to

0:38:24.520 --> 0:38:26.320
<v Speaker 1>score a lot of touchdowns for the reasons that e

0:38:26.520 --> 0:38:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Y mentioned. He's in a really, really good offense. But

0:38:28.880 --> 0:38:32.479
<v Speaker 1>I just worry that the receiving upside is capped here. Greg, Yeah,

0:38:32.480 --> 0:38:35.000
<v Speaker 1>so I agree. So for me, Nick Chubb is not

0:38:35.120 --> 0:38:38.160
<v Speaker 1>even the next running back on my list here. I

0:38:38.160 --> 0:38:41.160
<v Speaker 1>agree with you. By the way, it's for me Dalvin Cook.

0:38:41.320 --> 0:38:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I have Dalvin Cook next. I think you've talked a lot,

0:38:44.239 --> 0:38:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Frank about Kevin Stefanski wanted to run the football on

0:38:46.640 --> 0:38:49.800
<v Speaker 1>this offense being based around the run. I believe Dalvin

0:38:49.800 --> 0:38:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Cook should be the next running back off the board

0:38:51.680 --> 0:38:53.440
<v Speaker 1>in the second round. And I actually think you can

0:38:53.480 --> 0:38:54.960
<v Speaker 1>make the case that Nick Chubb is not even next

0:38:54.960 --> 0:38:57.680
<v Speaker 1>after that because I think Damian Williams and Florida. You

0:38:57.719 --> 0:38:59.400
<v Speaker 1>were the guy who was on Damian Williams last year.

0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:00.879
<v Speaker 1>You picked him up like hey, I got a great keeper,

0:39:00.920 --> 0:39:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, you're an idiot. They're gonna replace him,

0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:05.160
<v Speaker 1>and they have it every time they have tried to

0:39:05.600 --> 0:39:08.719
<v Speaker 1>um give credit to Damian Williams and talk of Damian

0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Williams they have and I know he's bad like a

0:39:10.520 --> 0:39:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Hampshire right now in training camp it should be okay,

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:17.000
<v Speaker 1>But Damian Williams love seems real. So I have it

0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Dalvin Cook, Damian Williams and then Nick Chubb to me,

0:39:21.080 --> 0:39:23.759
<v Speaker 1>in like standard, I have Chubb ahead of Williams. But

0:39:23.840 --> 0:39:26.759
<v Speaker 1>in PPR, yeah, I to me, I do have a

0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:29.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit of concern about I mean, it's a rightful

0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:30.759
<v Speaker 1>so concerned in the passing and that you guys have.

0:39:30.880 --> 0:39:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I still think though that we do see Duke Johnson traded.

0:39:34.520 --> 0:39:36.560
<v Speaker 1>The reports have been if they can get a fourth

0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:38.520
<v Speaker 1>round pick for him, they will and no team has

0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:40.880
<v Speaker 1>been willing to give that up yet. But we're gonna

0:39:40.880 --> 0:39:43.520
<v Speaker 1>see injuries in training camp. We're gonna see teams like

0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:45.800
<v Speaker 1>potentially like the Bucks, who I'm hoping that is the

0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:48.799
<v Speaker 1>one who trades for a Duke Johnson but we could

0:39:48.880 --> 0:39:52.120
<v Speaker 1>see him moved, Gregy, I know why you're excited and uh.

0:39:52.320 --> 0:39:55.120
<v Speaker 1>I also think though, because Freddy galviss Homeward uh and

0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:58.319
<v Speaker 1>is not Zack Gallant was traded. Oh whoa, No, it's not.

0:39:58.360 --> 0:39:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was because Zack Wheeler was traded to

0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:03.920
<v Speaker 1>as shows that just happened too that yet, But on

0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:06.040
<v Speaker 1>the Nick Chubb thing, real quick, you guys didn't even

0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:09.879
<v Speaker 1>mention my biggest concern. Kareem Hunt returns in week ten,

0:40:10.360 --> 0:40:12.080
<v Speaker 1>and I think Kareem Hunt is the biggest waste of

0:40:12.120 --> 0:40:14.839
<v Speaker 1>fantasy pick right now. But I think when Kareem Hunt

0:40:14.880 --> 0:40:17.720
<v Speaker 1>does return, he will eat into Nick Chubb's work because

0:40:17.760 --> 0:40:20.319
<v Speaker 1>I think this is a team with playoff aspirations. If

0:40:20.320 --> 0:40:22.239
<v Speaker 1>I can be as bold as to say maybe even

0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:25.479
<v Speaker 1>deep playoff aspirations. I think they're gonna want Nick Chubb

0:40:25.520 --> 0:40:27.920
<v Speaker 1>healthy and it's gonna become a two headed monster once

0:40:28.000 --> 0:40:31.480
<v Speaker 1>cream Hunt does come back. Where is that Wheeler thing?

0:40:31.960 --> 0:40:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I think Andy Mortineo traded tweeted it out. All right, well,

0:40:34.960 --> 0:40:36.880
<v Speaker 1>our two of this show is going to be completely

0:40:36.880 --> 0:40:39.359
<v Speaker 1>been at it. A ton of baseball trades going on

0:40:39.520 --> 0:40:41.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure y was to strangle all of us

0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:44.360
<v Speaker 1>right now. Never mind it was Arrio Cohen, the Fantasy

0:40:44.360 --> 0:40:46.759
<v Speaker 1>Baseball writer quoted someone and I saw it real quick

0:40:46.800 --> 0:40:49.160
<v Speaker 1>as I was talking about Chubb. I don't I don't

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:56.560
<v Speaker 1>know if it's accurate, though, Are you kidding me? M yeah,

0:40:56.640 --> 0:40:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I have it. I have a Dalvin Cook, Nick Chubb,

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:02.480
<v Speaker 1>and then me and Williams. I still like Damian Williams

0:41:02.480 --> 0:41:05.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot, but I mean there is risk that he's

0:41:05.800 --> 0:41:08.880
<v Speaker 1>been a journeyman in the NFL so far and he

0:41:08.920 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 1>hasn't ever really handled a full workload. We saw last year.

0:41:12.280 --> 0:41:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Nick Chubb did handle a full workload over the final

0:41:15.480 --> 0:41:18.600
<v Speaker 1>ten games of the season, or so did it from

0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Week fifteen throughout the playoffs like it was like a

0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:23.120
<v Speaker 1>five game stretch. It was. But if you look at

0:41:23.160 --> 0:41:25.799
<v Speaker 1>that he had of the snaps, and I believe he

0:41:25.840 --> 0:41:28.200
<v Speaker 1>was averaging over eighteen touches per game. That's something that

0:41:28.320 --> 0:41:30.279
<v Speaker 1>only a handful of running backs could say they did

0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:33.120
<v Speaker 1>last year. Uh. And my thing is not this is

0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:34.560
<v Speaker 1>what I keep saying, Like I have a video on

0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:36.319
<v Speaker 1>it on fan tracks YouTube page. You can go out

0:41:36.320 --> 0:41:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and check it out. I think you're making a mistake.

0:41:38.840 --> 0:41:41.399
<v Speaker 1>If you value or look at what Damian Williams has

0:41:41.400 --> 0:41:44.000
<v Speaker 1>done the last five, four or five years, however long

0:41:44.040 --> 0:41:46.640
<v Speaker 1>he's been in the NFL, he you are not buying

0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Damian Williams the player. I don't think. I look at

0:41:49.480 --> 0:41:52.080
<v Speaker 1>it as you are buying the lead running back on

0:41:52.120 --> 0:41:55.680
<v Speaker 1>an Andy re led team that also happens to be

0:41:55.719 --> 0:41:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the best offense in football and and also the best

0:41:59.280 --> 0:42:01.440
<v Speaker 1>offense for a has catching running back to playing. Like

0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:03.919
<v Speaker 1>I said, Chiefs running backs last year average nine point

0:42:04.000 --> 0:42:07.680
<v Speaker 1>five receiving yards per target. No other team was over

0:42:07.719 --> 0:42:10.880
<v Speaker 1>eight point three since two thousands, So that shows you

0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:13.239
<v Speaker 1>how efficient. That is why because they have a bunch

0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:16.960
<v Speaker 1>of burners in in Hill, in Watkins and Kelsey. Now

0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:18.719
<v Speaker 1>they have hard men. They have all these guys who

0:42:18.760 --> 0:42:21.359
<v Speaker 1>can play downfield that the defense has to sell out

0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:23.400
<v Speaker 1>to try and stop the deep ball. And if Damian

0:42:23.440 --> 0:42:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Williams can catch and lower his head and run in

0:42:25.640 --> 0:42:28.160
<v Speaker 1>open space, I think he's gonna pick yards up in chunks,

0:42:28.200 --> 0:42:31.520
<v Speaker 1>and the teams like that. It's it's why Todd Gurley

0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:33.640
<v Speaker 1>last year saw the fewest eight men in the box

0:42:33.680 --> 0:42:36.040
<v Speaker 1>because teams like this, with these dynamic offense that spread

0:42:36.040 --> 0:42:38.319
<v Speaker 1>the ball so much, teams have to worry about the

0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:41.160
<v Speaker 1>passing offense, and teams are not going to game plan

0:42:41.239 --> 0:42:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to stop Damian Williams. They're gonna game plan to stop

0:42:43.760 --> 0:42:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Kelsey and Hill and Mahomes and his passing attack. That

0:42:46.640 --> 0:42:49.280
<v Speaker 1>is why I'm so high on Mahomes. On Damian Williams

0:42:49.280 --> 0:42:51.919
<v Speaker 1>has nothing to do with Damian Williams himself. I would

0:42:51.960 --> 0:42:55.239
<v Speaker 1>love if it was Carlos Hide, if it was Williams,

0:42:55.239 --> 0:42:58.479
<v Speaker 1>whoever was the lead back for the Chiefs, I would

0:42:58.520 --> 0:43:01.000
<v Speaker 1>be saying, I want this guy in my fantasy team.

0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:03.480
<v Speaker 1>And I agree with that. It's kind of we're in

0:43:03.520 --> 0:43:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a weird spot when we're trying to like nit pick

0:43:06.640 --> 0:43:09.120
<v Speaker 1>these players because we're basically just splitting hairs, trying to

0:43:09.120 --> 0:43:11.080
<v Speaker 1>figure out, oh, well, why do I like this running

0:43:11.080 --> 0:43:13.319
<v Speaker 1>back over this running back. So that's the only reason

0:43:13.400 --> 0:43:16.879
<v Speaker 1>why I was mentioning, you know, these things the downsides

0:43:16.960 --> 0:43:19.800
<v Speaker 1>for Damian Williams. I still really like him, and Michael

0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:22.200
<v Speaker 1>was right, you know, over that five game stretch last year,

0:43:22.360 --> 0:43:26.000
<v Speaker 1>he was basically used, maybe not as a complete workhorse,

0:43:26.040 --> 0:43:28.600
<v Speaker 1>but he was used a lot in the Chief's offense

0:43:28.640 --> 0:43:30.719
<v Speaker 1>and to be the number one running back and Andy

0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Reid offense on the best offense in football. I mean,

0:43:33.960 --> 0:43:36.200
<v Speaker 1>that is a desirable position to be in. I have

0:43:36.320 --> 0:43:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Nick Chubb one spot higher than Damian Williams just because

0:43:39.360 --> 0:43:40.920
<v Speaker 1>he did it for a little bit longer last year.

0:43:40.960 --> 0:43:42.440
<v Speaker 1>He did it for double the time. He did it

0:43:42.440 --> 0:43:45.440
<v Speaker 1>for ten games rather than five games. And we saw

0:43:45.760 --> 0:43:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Nick Chubb's upside last year. And for all the reasons

0:43:48.280 --> 0:43:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that you just mentioned, you like Damian Williams, the Cleveland

0:43:51.280 --> 0:43:53.799
<v Speaker 1>Browns with Odell Beckham now on the field, and the

0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:57.359
<v Speaker 1>fact that defenses have to factor, you know, worry about him,

0:43:57.680 --> 0:43:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and they have to worry about in Joku and worry

0:43:59.520 --> 0:44:02.279
<v Speaker 1>about land jury over the middle, worry about Callaway taking

0:44:02.280 --> 0:44:04.719
<v Speaker 1>the top off the defense. There's gonna be so much

0:44:04.800 --> 0:44:07.279
<v Speaker 1>room to run for Nick Chubb and he's just gonna

0:44:07.320 --> 0:44:09.400
<v Speaker 1>finish off a lot of these drives scoring touchdowns. We

0:44:09.400 --> 0:44:12.120
<v Speaker 1>saw it last year. Like Freddy Kitchens, once he came in,

0:44:12.520 --> 0:44:14.319
<v Speaker 1>it was no nonsense. He was like, all right, Nick

0:44:14.400 --> 0:44:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Chubb is the starting running back. That's it. And for me,

0:44:17.800 --> 0:44:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that he is still going to score a

0:44:19.160 --> 0:44:21.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of touchdowns and run for a lot of yards.

0:44:21.400 --> 0:44:24.160
<v Speaker 1>But ultimately, if you play in PPR. I could see

0:44:24.239 --> 0:44:26.880
<v Speaker 1>why you can make the argument for a Damian Williams

0:44:26.920 --> 0:44:29.120
<v Speaker 1>over Nick Chubb, just because I don't know that Chubb

0:44:29.160 --> 0:44:31.279
<v Speaker 1>is going to let's say, like his upside might be

0:44:31.320 --> 0:44:34.359
<v Speaker 1>capped at like forty five recessions, maybe fifty. I saw

0:44:34.440 --> 0:44:36.399
<v Speaker 1>I think I think it was Scott Barrett or maybe

0:44:36.440 --> 0:44:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Scott Barrett quote tweeted it. But there was a big

0:44:39.000 --> 0:44:41.480
<v Speaker 1>argument on Fantasy football Twitter the other day about like

0:44:41.520 --> 0:44:44.560
<v Speaker 1>rushing attempts compared to receiving attempts, and I think it's

0:44:44.600 --> 0:44:48.280
<v Speaker 1>like triple the value of running back receives in Fantasy

0:44:48.320 --> 0:44:51.680
<v Speaker 1>points style on a target compared to a rushing attempt.

0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:55.040
<v Speaker 1>That's why in standard I'm going Chubb, but in anywhere

0:44:55.080 --> 0:44:58.319
<v Speaker 1>with a PPR, I have Damien Williams, like a spot high.

0:44:58.440 --> 0:45:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't argue it. I can't argue it. I think

0:45:00.600 --> 0:45:03.280
<v Speaker 1>it makes sense. I agree with you. That's how I reveal.

0:45:03.360 --> 0:45:06.040
<v Speaker 1>So you have Williams, all right, so e y, e y,

0:45:06.040 --> 0:45:08.239
<v Speaker 1>and myself we're on the side of Chubb versus Nick

0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Damian Williams and you guys are you guys have anythings

0:45:11.239 --> 0:45:13.120
<v Speaker 1>from week ten on with Kareem Hunt in the picture,

0:45:13.160 --> 0:45:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Because I think touches for the playoffs, Like, I think

0:45:16.560 --> 0:45:20.239
<v Speaker 1>they want to keep Chubb fresh, And I don't think

0:45:20.239 --> 0:45:22.600
<v Speaker 1>anybody knows though I don't think honestly, I don't think

0:45:22.600 --> 0:45:24.719
<v Speaker 1>anybody knows how Like it's in the back of your

0:45:24.760 --> 0:45:26.600
<v Speaker 1>mind for sure, Like you don't have that lingering in

0:45:26.640 --> 0:45:27.880
<v Speaker 1>the back of your mind when it comes to the

0:45:27.920 --> 0:45:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs for the second half of the season. But and

0:45:30.480 --> 0:45:32.400
<v Speaker 1>they obviously signed him for a reason. You mentioned this,

0:45:32.480 --> 0:45:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Greg like even though knowing pr hit Like, yeah, I mean,

0:45:36.480 --> 0:45:38.400
<v Speaker 1>that's a pretty big deal. They clearly are going to

0:45:38.400 --> 0:45:40.680
<v Speaker 1>get him involved. Nobody knows how much it's gonna be.

0:45:40.760 --> 0:45:42.960
<v Speaker 1>It could be five to seven touches, it could be

0:45:42.960 --> 0:45:44.320
<v Speaker 1>eight to ten touches. It could be more than that.

0:45:44.360 --> 0:45:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Nobody knows. But if Nick Chubb is crushing it in

0:45:47.200 --> 0:45:49.640
<v Speaker 1>this offense, I don't think that he just sees this

0:45:49.760 --> 0:45:52.840
<v Speaker 1>significant downtick and touches. There's two or three more players

0:45:53.120 --> 0:45:59.439

<v Speaker 1>Daily Rhodo millionaire. J Alright, three minutes, three questions for

0:46:47.000 --> 0:46:50.000
<v Speaker 1>both Mike and e Y. We got about three spots

0:46:50.239 --> 0:46:54.080
<v Speaker 1>left in our second round, so gentlemen, let's get right

0:46:54.160 --> 0:46:58.200
<v Speaker 1>into it. Question. The next wide receiver off your board

0:46:58.480 --> 0:47:01.560
<v Speaker 1>is who? Who? Who? Are we? Is this after like

0:47:01.680 --> 0:47:04.120
<v Speaker 1>at the Tyreek Hill, Odell Becka, Michael Thomas and Jujia

0:47:04.680 --> 0:47:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Uh Antonio brownad of Mike Evans. I had Mike Evans

0:47:08.880 --> 0:47:11.759
<v Speaker 1>higher for a while, but yeah, I think Antonio Brown

0:47:11.800 --> 0:47:13.840
<v Speaker 1>is still gonna see like a hundred and sixty targets,

0:47:13.880 --> 0:47:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and I I think the ball is gonna be spread

0:47:16.160 --> 0:47:18.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more. But I had them back to back,

0:47:18.040 --> 0:47:20.080
<v Speaker 1>and to be honest, I keep going back and forth

0:47:20.080 --> 0:47:22.399
<v Speaker 1>and flip flopping them. Why your next wide receiver off

0:47:22.400 --> 0:47:24.719
<v Speaker 1>the board is go ahead and make fun of me

0:47:24.719 --> 0:47:29.239
<v Speaker 1>about a MARII Cooper. Oh my god, he's just not

0:47:29.280 --> 0:47:32.799
<v Speaker 1>gonna to the ball enough. It'll throw enough. If Zeke

0:47:32.840 --> 0:47:34.960
<v Speaker 1>sits out, they will. I still don't think they will.

0:47:35.719 --> 0:47:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it could be one of those situations where

0:47:38.640 --> 0:47:40.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, although they don't throw the ball a lot,

0:47:41.000 --> 0:47:42.719
<v Speaker 1>he just gets so much of the targets share, much

0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:44.879
<v Speaker 1>like Michael Thomas in the Saints. Like that could that's

0:47:44.920 --> 0:47:47.239
<v Speaker 1>the path to Amari Cooper being great, So I could

0:47:47.239 --> 0:47:48.719
<v Speaker 1>see it. I don't think it's all that crazy e

0:47:48.880 --> 0:47:51.399
<v Speaker 1>Y For me, it's Mike Evans. For me, it's Mike

0:47:51.440 --> 0:47:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Evans as well. In fact, the rest of my second

0:47:54.280 --> 0:47:57.000
<v Speaker 1>round is full of wide receivers. I haven't Mike Evans.

0:47:57.120 --> 0:48:00.279
<v Speaker 1>Then I have Antonio Brown do you agree? Yes? And

0:48:00.320 --> 0:48:03.040
<v Speaker 1>then I go to end the second round it's twenty

0:48:03.080 --> 0:48:05.600
<v Speaker 1>three and twenty four, I go t Y Hilton and

0:48:05.680 --> 0:48:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Keenan Allen in that order. This pomp from Frank, how

0:48:09.600 --> 0:48:11.319
<v Speaker 1>do you end the round of Floria? How do you

0:48:11.400 --> 0:48:15.359
<v Speaker 1>end to Greggy t Y and then Keenan Allen. Uh? Yeah,

0:48:15.400 --> 0:48:17.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm cool with that. I like those guys. I like

0:48:17.560 --> 0:48:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Keenan Allen a little bit more. In PPR like t

0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Y Hilton a little bit more in half or standard.

0:48:21.680 --> 0:48:26.640
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, if where is are we talking? Like? So

0:48:27.040 --> 0:48:29.759
<v Speaker 1>the running backs all gone? It's after chubbing donmand Cook, right, Yeah,

0:48:29.760 --> 0:48:31.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm cool with those receivers. It would be like the

0:48:31.320 --> 0:48:33.840
<v Speaker 1>next running backs up would be Carrie on Johnson, Aaron Jones,

0:48:33.880 --> 0:48:36.759
<v Speaker 1>that whole unless you like one of those players more.

0:48:36.960 --> 0:48:39.359
<v Speaker 1>I saw Leonard Fournette go I pick fifteen today in

0:48:39.360 --> 0:48:41.440
<v Speaker 1>a draft, and I almost through my phone out the

0:48:41.440 --> 0:48:45.120
<v Speaker 1>window because that's just crazy. Who do you have? Ending

0:48:45.160 --> 0:48:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the round? Eric? Round three? Round two? Oh geez um,

0:48:52.960 --> 0:48:58.279
<v Speaker 1>it's a round uh Michael Thomas crazy? She shows you

0:48:58.280 --> 0:49:00.560
<v Speaker 1>how ablody ranking everybody's rankings are differ. You know. Michael

0:49:00.560 --> 0:49:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Thomas ends my first round, he ends e y second round.

0:49:03.680 --> 0:49:05.680
