There, but we'll be 10 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 1: talking about his top targets in the first ten rounds 11 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: of every draft. And we're gonna go through. There's no 12 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: real position here, It's just who you like in every round. 13 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: This is not to be clear building a team. 14 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: You're not saying like this is my perfect draft. 15 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: It's in a vacuum, irrespective of who I've gotten in 16 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: previous rounds. These are the names I am targeting in 17 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: these rounds. Fantasypros dot Com slash rankings. Everybody can check 18 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: out ECR, you know kind of those half PPR rankings. 19 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: See roughly where those guys are going. We'll move quickly here. 20 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 1: Jake looks start at the very top. Who's your top 21 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: target in round one? 22 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 3: Everybody? 23 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 4: I almost put Christ McCaffrey again. I know we've talked 24 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 4: about him a few times, but I'm gonna say a 25 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 4: mom ron Saint Brown only because it seems to he's 26 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 4: a little bit of pushback lately. And I know a 27 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 4: lot of the concerns are the Ben Johnson leaving and 28 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 4: what is the Morton gonna do? And I know they 29 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 4: said they're doing a little bit of changes, but I 30 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 4: just think it's strange of one of the most consistent 31 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 4: wide receivers wide receiver three in points per game and 32 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 4: overall two years ago, wide receiver seven in points per 33 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 4: game and top five again last year. And maybe people 34 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 4: want to say, well, wide receiver seven, you shouldn't be 35 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 4: going in the first round. 36 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 3: But I feel like it's the floor I saw. 37 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 4: I think you've seen a little bit different with Saint 38 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 4: Brown last year with some of the stuff being shorter, 39 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 4: and you know, Jered Goff had this huge passing season 40 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 4: and the touchdowns might not be there. 41 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: GET like, it seems like a lot offs. 42 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 4: For somebody who is clearly the number one focal point 43 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 4: in this passing game, even with the emergence of Jameis 44 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 4: and Williams last year, that I'm taking those targets. I'm 45 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 4: taking that consistency and even if he finishes between last 46 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 4: year and the year before, that would still put him 47 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 4: inside the top five with what I think is one 48 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,639 Speaker 4: of the safest floors. You tell me who's more risky, 49 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 4: and I love Pooka Nakua, but who's more risky? Between 50 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 4: Nikoua and Saint Brown, there's more risk with Niakua. Look 51 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 4: if would you be shocked if he was the number 52 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 4: two alongside Adams this year just because of how good 53 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 4: Adam still is. 54 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 2: No, I would not be shocked, and let let alone 55 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: the injury history. We think. 56 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 1: I like Puka, I think when you look at the 57 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: other guys in this because I am somebody who has 58 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: kind of been fading him, like not all the way 59 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: out of the first round. But there's just other names 60 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: in the first round that I've been kind of drawn to, 61 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: and every single one of them it's the upside case. 62 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: It's not the floor case. Pukahs the upside case, Malik 63 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 1: Neighbors ups Nico Collins upside case, Asha Genty upside case, 64 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: like Christian McCaffrey upside case. None of them is the 65 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: safety case. So I think it's a it's a really 66 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: fair point, and it's one of those things where, like 67 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: I feel the way I draft and I try to 68 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: aim for upside, I won't be taking there will be 69 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: somebody else who will take Amara ahead of me. But 70 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: at the end of the season, I think when we 71 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: look at the rankings and who has outperformed whom like, 72 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: I am pretty confident Amora Saint Brown will be very 73 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: near the top of that list. So I think it's 74 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: it's one of it's it feels weird to call him 75 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: a boring play because he's not old, it's been for 76 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: a while, but it almost kind of feels like that 77 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: a less boring pick and a guy who is also 78 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: a big upside guy. 79 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 2: Is he you have in round two? 80 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I wouldn't be afraid of taking him at 81 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 4: the end of round one. That's Drake London and we've 82 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 4: done another show. It was including deebra on that one, 83 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 4: and I said that a lot of people are like, well, 84 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 4: we hope Pennox can be blank, and my pushback was like, 85 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 4: I don't even need Pennox to be blank. If Pennix 86 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 4: is just the bad version of Kirk Cousins from last 87 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 4: year and plays the entire season as such, that's basically 88 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 4: about a four thousand yard, twenty three twenty four touchdown 89 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 4: season that volume, even if it's not the forty percent 90 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 4: we saw at the end of the year, and it's 91 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 4: just thirty percent, which it should be. He's Drake London 92 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 4: and this offense centers around him and as the number 93 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 4: one option with fewer threats than Saint Brown has. Honestly, 94 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 4: if you want to go down that road too, Drake 95 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 4: London should be a lock for the top ten. So 96 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 4: I am hammering every time I see him in the 97 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 4: second round, and I think you can make a case 98 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 4: for him at the end of the first taking him 99 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 4: in the names of Brown, Brian Thomas, Malik neighbors, like, 100 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 4: I think his name deserves to be there, not in 101 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 4: the next group with like the AJ Browns and Jackson 102 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 4: Smith and Jigbos of the world. 103 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: And you did say on that show with Deebro, which 104 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: everybody should go check out if they want to hear 105 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: kind of a deeper dive on London. I said, are 106 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: you taking him in kind of that second round or 107 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: more of the third and you were like, neither, I'm 108 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: taking him in the first. He's not getting past the 109 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: top ten picks and drafts with Jake Seely. So, uh yeah, 110 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: definitely somebody that you are very excited about it if you 111 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: can get him in the second round, which I think 112 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: you can in most leagues. Like you wouldn't want to 113 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: look too late, depends on where you're picking, but I 114 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: think that'll be the case in most leagues. 115 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 2: So that's a that's a good call here. 116 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: And this is one that like we have a lot 117 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: of consensus on here, a Fantasy pros like debro Erickson degrees. 118 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: I agree. We are very heavy on Drake London this year. 119 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: Let's go to a running back here in round three. 120 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny, similar to Saint Brown, this running back 121 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 4: is getting a lot of pushback. And we've you and 122 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 4: I we've been on episodes where people are like touchdown regression. 123 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 4: Everything worked perfectly last year, but it's gone so far 124 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 4: that we went from course correcting of like late, Let's 125 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 4: not get too crazy on James Cook last year. Let's 126 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: not call him top five, top six running back. There 127 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 4: should be like touchdown regression anyway, just from any running 128 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 4: back in general. To repeat what he did is kind 129 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 4: of tough to put into a guarantee. And I know 130 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 4: people will say, well, it's the Bills offense and he 131 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 4: should be able to do it again, but there's risk, 132 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 4: like the contract and they use it. But anyway, I'm 133 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 4: bringing all that up to say is like there's been 134 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 4: so much of well, James Cook can't do it again. 135 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 4: James Cook's got this risk, this risk, this risk, this risk, 136 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 4: and now all of a sudden, James Cook is in 137 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 4: the third round, Like, well, thank you. 138 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: You baked in all the risk. 139 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 4: I can now just take him in the third round 140 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 4: and potentially still get that round one value that we 141 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 4: just saw last year. Even if you chop off four 142 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 4: or five touchdowns, he's still going to be producing as 143 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 4: a top six to seven running back. 144 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 3: So I get it. 145 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 4: The yards aren't enormous and it is a lot of 146 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 4: touchdown reliance, and Josh Allen's going to take his, but 147 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 4: he took his last year and he was fine, So 148 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's going to repeat and have mid 149 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 4: teen touchdowns. But you've now baked in so much risk 150 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 4: that I'm willing to say I'm in on James Cook 151 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 4: in the third round. 152 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: Speaking of James Cook this month, if you want a 153 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: chance to win a signed James cook Bill's jersey for 154 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: free courtesy of our friends at Pristineauction dot com.

I don't 167 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 4: want to repeat too many players from that show, but 168 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 4: I wanted to echo because I have come around on this. 169 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 4: This is coming from somebody that just a month ago 170 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 4: wasn't so sure about Kenneth Walker, because I was wondering 171 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 4: if we were going to see like a Steelers tight 172 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 4: backfield with Sharbonay being involved in the Jaalin Warren situation, 173 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 4: and then Michael Seanduger covers the Seahawks for the Athletic 174 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 4: I was about to call us the athletes, the athletic. 175 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 4: I hit him up and I was like, hey, you're 176 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 4: close to the team. Answer the question, is it the 177 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 4: timeshare or is he the clear lead? And he said 178 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 4: nine as a bell cow. I'm like, oh, okay, I'm 179 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 4: moving him up. I'm giving him that workload. I'm giving 180 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 4: him near eighteen plus touches a game. And that puts 181 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker as It shocked me even because even was like, hey, 182 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 4: I'll buy in. I was not expecting him to jump 183 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 4: all the way to RB twelve overall for me, So 184 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 4: to get him in the fourth, do it while you can, 185 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 4: because I have a feeling he's going to climb into 186 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 4: the third and I think his name should be to 187 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 4: go back to James Cook. I would take Walker before Cook, 188 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 4: despite the fact you can get him later. 189 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, he is. 190 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: In the late thirties right now, so like overall, so 191 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: definitely a fourth round pick in terms of the ECR ranking. 192 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: I don't think that'll last either, Like you should be 193 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: very comfortable, don't see this and go oh, I have 194 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: to wait to the fourth to take him. See this 195 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: is if I'm picking the back half of the third 196 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: or maybe even earlier than that, Like be very willing 197 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: to take him. We like Kenneth Walker a lot, and 198 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: if he's healthy, there's just no way he's not outperforming. 199 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: This spot in rankings. There's just no way. 200 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: So to me, it's the only question there is health, 201 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: and I'm you know, everybody is health questions, right, It's football. 202 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: Everybody can get hurt. So I wouldn't take the swing 203 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: of the guy. 204 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: That is going to be a bell cow and could 205 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: be a league winner from the fourth route. 206 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: I'll take that every time. 207 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: So it's funny because looking at that rounds three and four, 208 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: and then you also have a running back around five. 209 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: People often think of this as kind of like the 210 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: RB dead zone. 211 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 3: Dead zone. 212 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: There's a lot of running backs that look pretty enticely here. 213 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: And I agree with you with the guy you're about 214 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: to talk about for round five too. 215 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, and this one I would almost guarantee is not 216 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 4: going to stay in round five. This is and this 217 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 4: was before the eye injury to Naja Harris, which, hey, 218 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 4: can we. 219 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: Stop playing with fireworks football players? Did JPP teach us nothing? 220 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 3: Just leave them alone. 221 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 4: Let somebody else do it. But Amaron Hampton and this is, 222 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 4: like I do believe, similar to the Bijeon Jamiir Gibbs 223 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 4: draft that Ameron Hampton should have been thought closer to 224 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 4: Ashton Genty than a lot of people gave him credit for. 225 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 4: Like everybody put a clear gap. And I'm not saying 226 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 4: I wouldn't take Genty over Hampton ten times out of ten, 227 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 4: but I think that gap should have been a lot 228 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 4: more narrow, like the Bejeon Gibbs situation, where say that 229 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 4: given the teams and if they saw I think this 230 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 4: is the risk if they saw similar workloads, the risks 231 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 4: being that Hampton doesn't see Genti's workload. That Hampton could 232 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 4: have the better season, especially on the Chargers, and so 233 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 4: that kind of upside in the fact that Naje Harris already. 234 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: Had that it was a one year deal. 235 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 4: I kind of I think most people and excluding myself, 236 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 4: assumed that we would see kind of a split to 237 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 4: see the season. It would kind of grow to Hampton's 238 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 4: role as the season progressed. But now you're opening the 239 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 4: door for him to show what he can do in 240 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 4: the preseason and everything, and then Naje Harris doesn't necessarily 241 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 4: get on the field that much, and all of a sudden, 242 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 4: you are talking about Hampton getting seventeen eighteen twenty touches 243 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 4: a game. This is not going to last. Get it 244 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 4: while you can. And I would even put him in 245 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 4: round four. I would still take them. I wouldn't be 246 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 4: afraid of taking them. Possibly even if you said this 247 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 4: earlier and I wanted to represent it, if you were 248 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 4: like pick three to eleven, you're like, well I have 249 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 4: to wait round four. No you don't, because you want 250 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 4: to make sure you get them. I want to be 251 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 4: even afraid of Hampton as like the three to eleven pick. 252 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: Do you get worried at all with Hampton? And like, 253 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: I think you're that he is going to go higher 254 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: than this. The helium will be there, But do you 255 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: think there is any cost for concern? Just that Greg Groman, 256 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: as much as he likes running, doesn't typically have the 257 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: belcow we just talked about Tennis Walker. I think I 258 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: think mark Ingram that first year in Baltimore is like 259 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: the most carries that any running back's gotten under Roman. 260 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: And even that was like a sowhat split backfield. Like obvious, 261 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback was part of that running game too, so 262 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: it's a little bit different. But maybe he hasn't had 263 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: a running back on the level of Maryon Hampton. I 264 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: really like him as a prospect, but is that in 265 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: the back of your mind at all one. 266 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 4: Hundred and especially because it's a rookie and he hasn't 267 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 4: had a prospect like him, but also the Roman like, hey, 268 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 4: let's just keep and that's why I thought Naje Harris 269 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 4: would be more involved. But I think, like I said, 270 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 4: this is opening the door from the split starting to 271 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 4: go back to the Steelers in like a fifty five 272 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: to forty five, where I think the split will be 273 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 4: more like sixty forty and Hampton similar to Trevian Henderson, 274 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 4: who I keep bringing up. I don't think Hampton needs 275 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 4: twenty touches a game to put up top twenty running 276 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 4: back value. 277 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: Let's go to your number six, well not your number six, 278 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: you're around six round six. 279 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gal. This is similar to James Cook. 280 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 4: I wasn't on Jayalen Wattle a little while ago, but 281 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 4: now that the hesitancies and other names kind of getting 282 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 4: pushed in front of him in ADP like Wattle in 283 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 4: the sixth I'm okay with and I get frustrated with 284 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 4: these kind of leg injuries that are recurring, especially tissue 285 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 4: injuries and the same leg. And it's getting risky with 286 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 4: Jalen Wattle at this point, including the risk with two 287 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 4: of the hell, the risk with this entire offense, honestly 288 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 4: up and down the line. But if Wattle is healthy, 289 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 4: we still are talking about somebody who was considered and 290 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 4: should still be considered in the conversation with a Dvante 291 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 4: Smith and Jamison william as these twos who can put 292 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 4: up top twenty values. So now that he's been kind 293 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 4: of discounted a little bit to the sixth round, I'm 294 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 4: going to buy Jalen Wattle on the six where I 295 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 4: wasn't probably about two months ago. 296 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: I feel like I have been getting a lot of Wattle, 297 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: and I haven't been a great This isn't like the 298 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: running backs we just talked about where it's like take 299 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: him around early to make sure you get him. It's 300 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: just where he's been going. I've been very comfortable with 301 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: the I'll buy low on it. I liked him a 302 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: lot going into the last couple of seasons, just because 303 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: it didn't pan out for a variety of reasons. Yeah, 304 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: I think there's a chance tier Kill takes step back 305 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: this year, and there's a real opportunity here, like obviously 306 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: Johnny Smith gone. So it is everything you talk about 307 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: with the Dolphins offense. 308 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: There is risk associated with. 309 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: It, but you can paint a fun picture of the 310 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: upside and I think that Costs Waddle is a perfectly 311 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: reasonable pick here. I do want to let everybody know 312 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: before we move on with the rest of the rounds 313 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: about the Draft Simulator.

And not to say 326 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 4: like my wife is anything like an NFL player, but 327 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 4: she had a clean up on her ankle and she 328 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 4: was fine. 329 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 3: A few weeks and she had. 330 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 4: The tendon repaired and the scar tissue taken out. Like 331 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 4: I'm just saying, if she's not even an athlete and 332 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 4: she was fine, it's my point. So like I'm not 333 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 4: too scared by this, but if people want to avoid it, understand. 334 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 4: But you're getting Chris Godwin the seventh round. You're getting 335 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 4: Chris Godwin. He was a top three wide receiver before 336 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 4: he got hurt. You're getting Chris Godwin who showed last 337 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 4: year with that performance that he was a little bit 338 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 4: better stylistically with Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans is still 339 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 4: the touchdown guy. 340 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 3: But Mike Evans We've been waiting for him to. 341 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 4: Drop off for how long now, But still being point, 342 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 4: even if he doesn't, this duo is still god Wins 343 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 4: slightly ahead inconsistency wise. 344 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 3: And what Baker does than Mike Evans. 345 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 4: Obviously the touchdown upside with Evans. But in the seventh round, 346 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 4: I'm willing to gamble because I still think and I 347 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 4: still would take a healthy healthy is the question Chris 348 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 4: Godwin over Mike Evans. And I know people point to 349 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 4: the ABUCA thing. I think that was more looking to 350 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 4: next year that Mike Evans might finally be done. The 351 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 4: contract and whether you want to go either way with 352 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 4: it my positive spin on it. You could go negative too. 353 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 4: Deebro brought it up. You and I were tall come 354 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 4: out after a show and Debro is like, well, maybe 355 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 4: that was the way they got him to stay is 356 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 4: guaranteeing money and other teams didn't want to. But I 357 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 4: go to the contract and the fact there's zero injury 358 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 4: claws in there, which makes me just kind of say, 359 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 4: if they were at all concerned, once you put something 360 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,839 Speaker 4: in there, again, you're not taking him in the fourth, 361 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 4: You're not taking them in the fifth, You're not taking 362 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 4: him in the sixth. You're getting Chris Godwin the seventh round, 363 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 4: who could start on your bench depending on your roster, 364 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 4: and then you just get the upside what he is 365 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 4: one hundred percent, And that's why I'm going to do it. 366 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: The cost is a really important factor here. Godwin is 367 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: the type of player I tend to avoid. I'd rather 368 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: get the guy the year after the year after the injury. 369 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 3: I mean, just. 370 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: Injuries will find you, right, this is football. 371 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: Your team is going to get hit with injuries at 372 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: some point, So why start off with the guy that 373 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: has the injury question marks already. But round seven for 374 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: a guy that was the best receiver in fantasy before 375 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: he got hurt last year, you're getting a discount. Maybe 376 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: it's not a massive discount, but it is a legitimate 377 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: discount enough so that I do think it's a good pick. 378 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: Even if I went into draft season expecting to not 379 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: be interested in Chris Godwin, if he's in round seven, 380 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: I'll be a lot more interested than where I really 381 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: kind of expected him to be with some of the 382 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: offseason talk. 383 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: Let's go to round eight. Who do you have here? 384 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, gonna go quarterback. Finally, Justin Fields. 385 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 2: Let's actually sorry to cut you off. 386 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: Let's move rounds eight and nine together because you have 387 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: quarterbacks back to back. 388 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 3: Yes, I do, I do. Yeah. 389 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 4: So obviously to what you said earlier, this is not 390 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 4: my perfect draft because I would not be going quarterback 391 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 4: quarterback right, not go do it? But Justin Fields and 392 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 4: Dak Prescott for different reasons. Obviously, I do not think 393 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 4: Justin Fields is going to be on the bench unless 394 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 4: he's hurt. The just did not bring him in. This 395 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 4: isn't like, oh my god, he might lose the job 396 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 4: if he has three rough games. But you know I've 397 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 4: said this to you before. I said it on Pat 398 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 4: Mayo's show. I don't know how many times I have 399 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 4: to say it. I don't need justin fields to be 400 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 4: a good passer, like I don't. But the thing is, 401 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 4: he's better than Anthony Richardson. He's better than some other 402 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 4: quarterbacks because I just need him to be okay as 403 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 4: a passer, which is what he was when he was 404 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 4: QB six over and in points per game because he 405 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 4: ran for eleven hundred yards. But I also don't even 406 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 4: need to run for eleven hundred, just nine hundred and 407 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 4: justin fields. Being justin fields and throwing for twenty five 408 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 4: hundred yards and eighteen touchdowns, guess what you're gonna be 409 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 4: a top ten quarterback. Daniel Jones did it with seven 410 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 4: hundred yards and seven rushing touchdowns, throwing fifteen touchdowns in 411 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 4: sixteen games. I pulled that up all the time because 412 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,239 Speaker 4: that's actually when I somewhat still cared about the Giants. 413 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 4: But justin fields, I'm going to hammer in the eighth. 414 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 4: I would even take him the seventh if actually cost wise, 415 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 4: I could take fields in the seventh and still get 416 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 4: Godwin in the eighth. 417 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 3: I just don't know if he'll fall that far. I 418 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 3: would do that. 419 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 4: That's how willing and I am to go in on fields. 420 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 4: And then if you don't get fields, if you don't 421 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 4: get a top tier quarterback. I think Dak Prescott's a 422 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 4: great one to chase slate, similar to Jared Golf last year, 423 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 4: where all we do is need him to be healthy. Now, 424 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 4: Dak looked the worst he's looked probably his entire career 425 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 4: last year. On top of it, but was that the 426 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 4: injury factoring in was that it was Ceedee Lamb and 427 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 4: nobody else to throw to. He now has George Pickens. 428 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 4: He has a serious threat as a second option. Finally, 429 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 4: again like Brandon Cooks when he was actually playing well. 430 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 4: And I think a healthy Seed Lamb, a healthy George Picken, 431 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 4: a healthy Dak Prescott, and you could be talking about 432 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 4: it has to do most of it with his arm. 433 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 4: But we've already seen Dak Prescott total five thousand yards 434 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 4: passing and rushing and well approaching forty total touchdowns between 435 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 4: those two aspects, even a Jared Golf like season, and 436 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 4: he's going to be a top six seven quarterback. 437 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: The last two fully healthy seasons Dak Prescott has had. 438 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: He has been QB seven and QB three like there, 439 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: even without the rushing being a significant part of his game, 440 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: there is real passing driven upside here. So like right 441 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: now he's QB thirteen. I've seen him going like well 442 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: below that, honestly because somebody wants the upside of like 443 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: a may Or Stroud or whoever. Like I he's consensus 444 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: right with QB thirteen, he goes lower than that often. 445 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: I think he is a great target if you were 446 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: waiting on quarterback, or if you're in a league where 447 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: it makes sense to have a high end backup he is. 448 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: He's a great call in that regard. 449 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 2: Fields. Also, I agree with you in that case, I. 450 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: Think he is a little more off because everybody knows the 451 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: running and like he should be going in the top 452 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: ten quarterbacks, Like the running is a chief code, and 453 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: unlike past years with the fields, we are really confident, 454 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: assuming health, he's going to be the. 455 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 2: Starter for the year. 456 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: So I yeah, these are two great picks, like you said, 457 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: for very different reasons between I'm totally on board with 458 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: both of them. Last player here in the top ten 459 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: Round ten, who do you have. 460 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, the round ten is the thing. Cooper Cup has 461 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 4: not looked good the past year and a half. I mean, 462 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 4: let's be on it. Last year, just focus on it, 463 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 4: and it looked good. Wasn't separating well anymore. It wasn't 464 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 4: the Cooper Cup. We knew he's been battling injuries. Guess what, 465 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 4: You can put Cooper Cup on your bench and if 466 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 4: he looks like trash the first two weeks, you can 467 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 4: move on because you're not drafting him as a starter anymore. 468 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 4: You're not even drafting him as a top forty forty 469 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 4: five wide receiver anymore. You're getting Cooper Cup going to 470 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 4: the Seahawks with a revitalized, hopefully offense with Kubiak opening 471 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 4: things up. We also went deeper into that on that 472 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 4: other show with Debro when I talked about JSN. 473 00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 3: But he's going to open things up. 474 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 4: And even if I'm wrong, which was Deebro was saying, 475 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 4: what if jas En is the short one, a Cup 476 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 4: ends up being better outside at this stage of his 477 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 4: career like he was last year, Well that's even better 478 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 4: for Cup because go back to a lave and shihied 479 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 4: in Kubiak's offense and breaking open downfield. I think Cup 480 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 4: is basically a free top twenty five upside pick. Do 481 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 4: I think he get Like if you just told me 482 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 4: ten times out of ten, how many times does he 483 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 4: hit it this year at this point of Cup's career, 484 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 4: I'd say three or four. I don't think this is 485 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 4: a definite smashing. You need to get him all your teams. 486 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 4: But at this point of drafts, round ten, I'm not 487 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 4: drafting somebody who I think can be wide receiver forty four. 488 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 4: I want you to either have top twenty upside or 489 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 4: you're not on my bench, because that's the league winners. 490 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 4: At this point, these are guys on your bench. You 491 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 4: have the top twenty twenty five upside, and if Cooper 492 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 4: Cup is even a hair of what he was two 493 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 4: years ago, you're gonna get that in this offense. 494 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: I was kind of grossed out by this pick when 495 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: I saw you put it in the sheet, but. 496 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 3: I ten, I was gonna say. 497 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: I went and looked at who, well, who else is 498 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: available at around there? There's around eleven that I like, 499 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: but in ec me in round nine that I like 500 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: like just before this stretch, but once you get to 501 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: round ten, like it is pretty gross so there's not like, 502 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: what am I gonna take Brandon I you can stay 503 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: like coming off the injury or Rashad White. 504 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 2: These are some of the names that. 505 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: Are near Cooper Cup. So so it's a five. I 506 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: withdraw my initial discuss. 507 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 3: See, yeah, Rashat White or Cooper Cup. I'm taking Cooper Cup. 508 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's very fair. 509 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: Give me two just bonus players anywhere outside the top 510 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: ten rounds that you're interested in. 511 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 3: Ooh, top ten. 512 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 4: We briefly touched on his name, so I'll go a 513 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 4: little bit more. Jayden Blue. I think that this is 514 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 4: you and I have talked about being in on Javonte Williams, 515 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 4: but I think at cost for both, you can get 516 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 4: Williams and Blue, and then hopefully you get whoever ends 517 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 4: up being the lead. If Williams doesn't look anything like 518 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 4: he was before that injury, is still taking his toll. 519 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 4: Blue in a Warren type of fourteen to fifteen touches 520 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 4: a game kind of range, can have RB two value. 521 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 4: I don't think he'll be in RB one just because 522 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 4: he's not built for it, but I think that's a 523 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 4: great value there. And then this is it's interesting. I say, 524 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 4: you know the kenth Walker. I've changed my tunes and 525 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 4: stuff like that. I've been in on saying like, let's 526 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 4: not just toss away Travis Etn is like never being 527 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 4: able to do anything again. But post draft, the excitement 528 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 4: and the hype that people were going, I mean, diving 529 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 4: off the hills to go get base Shall Tuton, like 530 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 4: you have to get I'm the most explosive player ever. 531 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 4: He's gonna be you know, Bucky Irving in this offense, 532 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 4: and I'm like, dude, like chill out. Could be a 533 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 4: full blown committee. Well as you and I are sitting 534 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 4: here looking he's going in the one thirties like I 535 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 4: was out on toot and it's saying like, oh, I 536 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 4: don't want to take Tooton in like the eighth round 537 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 4: because everybody's going nuts. But if you're gonna tell me 538 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 4: I can still get double digit rounds and get base 539 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 4: shall Tuton, I would consider him in round ten with 540 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 4: Cooper Cup. It was the problem was that post draft 541 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 4: excitement was just getting out of hand. But it's a 542 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 4: warranted cost. 543 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: Now are you do You feel the same way I do, 544 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: which is that frankly, I'd be willing to take anybody 545 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: in the Jaguars back that even Tank Bigsby, like if 546 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: they're going late enough, if we're talking and like outside 547 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: the top ten rounds, like I want to take a 548 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: swing on this backfield. We know what Liam cohane can 549 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: do with with a running game. We don't know that 550 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: Basehall Tuton is Gonn is going to be the Bucky 551 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: Irving right, like he had the fumble stuff early on 552 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: in the OTAs and like clearly is a somewhat limited player. 553 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: Everybody in this backfield has red flags. Of course, that's 554 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: why they're all going as late as they are. But 555 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: I just want to take the late swing. And typically 556 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: ETN is gonna go ahead of the other too, at 557 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: least at this point in the rankings. So I'm willing 558 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: to take Tank or Tooting if they're outside of the 559 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: top ten rounds. You just take a shot on this backfield. 560 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. 561 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 4: Like this is why, like I go back to that, 562 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 4: I want to take the shots, Like I don't want 563 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 4: Michael Wilson on my team. Like and Michael Wilson's like okay, cool, 564 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 4: maybe he breaks out twice, Darius Slaton maybe has one 565 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 4: good game. You can go down the list, like all 566 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,479 Speaker 4: these kind of wide receivers that people just end up 567 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 4: drafting and it's like why, what's it? Like Antonio Gibson, like, 568 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 4: what are you gonna draft the third running back on 569 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 4: a team? For the hell Ramandre Stevenson, Like what we 570 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 4: just saw the best case scenario for him last year? Cool, 571 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 4: you got an RB three and that he's going way earlier. 572 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 4: I'm just saying, once you hit your bench those first 573 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 4: two players, we did it on the Advice Show. One 574 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 4: of those first two players probably need to get your lineup, 575 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 4: but those last four spots should essentially be lottery tickets. 576 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 4: And what's a lottery ticket somebody with top twenty twenty 577 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 4: five upside, not somebody who's gonna finish wide receiver forty 578 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 4: three like they no, never gonna be on my team. 579 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 1: Want to let everybody know that we'll be tackling your 580 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: fantasy questions all week every week on Twitch.
