Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

Speaker 1: on your twenty four to seven home of the Black

Speaker 1: and GOLDNR Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: As we are, Matt, I am Dale LOWI he is

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: the Matt Williamson and Matt. It's that time of year

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: here for the dynasty fantasy football stuff. I going on.

7
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just about to complete my first dynasty rookie draft.

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 3: I made a big dynasty trade this morning in a

9
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: different league, gets picked up cde Lamb. I'm pretty happy

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 3: or a loaded team and gave up five different assets

11
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 3: for cdee Lamb from a team that's just kind of

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 3: cool about dynasty like this. That league, my team was

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: really really good and playoffs didn't treat me well. I

14
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: didn't end up in the money, but I'm still in

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: it to win it in a big way. So we

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: had a new owner'd an owner leave that league in

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: an orphan. They picked them up and the team has

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 3: Ceedee Lamb and nothing. So smartly, this guy's like, I'd

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 3: rather have five pieces than Ceedee Lamb. I'm not winning

20
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 3: anything right now. I want picks, I want youth, and

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 3: so I'm like, I'm the perfect team to talk to

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 3: I'm trying to make roster space to get ready for

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 3: my rookie draft. Anyways, I'll gladly give you five roster

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: spots for one if it's one of the best players

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 3: in all dynasties. So it worked out great for both

26
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: of us, and I'm sitting pretty So who'd you give up?

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: I gave up, well, the two guys hardly matter. But

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: he didn't have any backup quarterbacks, so I gave him

29
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones. He didn't have any backup tight end, so

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: I gave him Chicka kong Wu. Neither really influenced the deal. Yeah,

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: he's a big Jalen Reed fan. He wanted him. I

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: have like six receivers ahead of Jalen Reid on my

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: death chart, especially when Lamb comes cool. I gave him

34
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: next year's first, which I hope is the twelfth overall

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 3: because my team's loaded, and I gave him the fifth

36
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: pick overall this year. I did it, harpeat. That was

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: my first offer. He took it so cool, but I

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: probably would have pushed it even further. But that's one guy.

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: I mean, lamblows on his knee. I just threw away

40
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 3: five things, you know what I mean. But in the meantime,

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 3: I'm starting them for the foreseeable future.

42
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: And that fifth round picked it. We talked to our

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: fifth pick over all this year. We talked about that

44
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: on Monday. I mean, you were looking at I don't

45
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: love that do or you know.

46
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 3: Well, this isn't super Flex. Okay, so the quarterbacks that

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: that league is not. I just finished my super Flex draft,

48
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: and I loved, you know, the fourth area for super Flex.

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: Without it, those top three receivers are gonna be the

50
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 3: first three picks. I mean, so a Doonesday is probably

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: gonna go three neighbors to Harrison one. And with the

52
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: makeup of my team, I didn't love five. So I

53
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: was either trying to trade into the top three or

54
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: even get future picks because you'd probably end up with

55
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: like a Thomas or a McConkey or your favorite running back.

56
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: And I don't love that at five. But then super

57
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 3: Flex you're getting legit stuff because the quarterbacks were as

58
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 3: strong as here.

59
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 2: So I'm looking here at Mike Clay's his overall top

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: two forty for super Flex.

61
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,119
Speaker 3: For super Flex, Okay, he has cd land number one.

62
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 3: I get it. I mean Jefferson and Chase used to

63
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: own that and Jefferson's quarterback situation is not ideal. But

64
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 3: Lamb was a tier two guy right behind them. But

65
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: I get it though.

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: Then he has Jefferson, Chase John Robinson.

67
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, he's been running back one for a while,

68
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: but Hall's close.

69
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: Jamier Gibbs, Okay, Christian McCaffrey and he's done a seven

70
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: because he's not twenty eight.

71
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing. How many more years ago?

72
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: Get Like, if I had Christian McCaffrey in Dynasty, I'm

73
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: probably looking to move him.

74
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd get less than you think, right, But if

75
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: you trade him to the right team, that team could

76
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: win at all and heartbeat like Frankly the team I

77
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: just discuss. I'd give you something for McCaffrey now. And

78
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: I'm starting Josh Allen, Mark, andrews Lamb, Wilson, Ayuk and

79
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: McCaffrey every week. I'm hard to beat. But you do.

80
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: You don't have a first round draft pick next year,

81
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: right to make right? I mean you don't want to

82
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: go all in. I'm this won't shock you at all.

83
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: Considering all the mock drafts we did for the Steelers.

84
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: Future picks are a big thing with that don't make

85
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: the steel, but throw in your third next year. I'm like,

86
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: I do a lot of that.

87
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Monron Saint Brown eighth. Then you got Garrett Wilson, Yeah,

88
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill. Tyreek Hill the one outlier, Yeah in that

89
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: top ten because he's now thirty and a half.

90
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: I mean the time to move him was last year. Yeah,

91
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: but that's a lot of points you left on the

92
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: table if you trried Tyreek Hill for Ramadonday, right, you

93
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: know what I mean.

94
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: Then you're looking at the second tent of AJ Brown,

95
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor, Tyron Williams.

96
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, sa Kwan Barkley, who's.

97
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: Also getting to he's running, he's twenty seven and a half.

98
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison Junior the first rookie on that doesn't shock me.

99
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 2: Elik Neighbors at sixteen, Travis at and at seventeen, Josh

100
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: Allen at eighteen, Pukin Naku at nineteen, and then Chris

101
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: Olave at twenty.

102
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: Okay, let's focus on running backs because I could make

103
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: a case that Marvin Harrison Junior is more important or

104
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: more valuable than McCaffrey. Let alone. A couple of names

105
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 3: you mentioned, they're Kyn Williams and guys like that. And

106
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: a big theory we've had in analyzing running backs for

107
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 3: Dynasty is treated like it's redraft. I mean, it's so

108
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: hard to count on them year after year after year.

109
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: And even like Kien Williams, he looks great, but he's

110
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: not a special player, and they drafted Blake Korum in

111
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 3: the third round, like they're so fragile that early on

112
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 3: in my Dynasty career, I made the mistake of building

113
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 3: teams around running backs like I do in redraft, and

114
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: they just don't last, you know. So if I can

115
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: have if I can start three stud receivers for five

116
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 3: years in a row, you're not gonna be able to

117
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: do that at running back. So it's it's kind of

118
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 3: just always churning and hustling and picking guys up with

119
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: the waiver wire. Running Backs are brutal in Dynasty.

120
00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 2: Twenty one through thirty. Michael Pittman, Isaiah Pacheco Patrick.

121
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 3: I want nothing to do with Isaiah pa CHECKA.

122
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: Hired somebody after the Steelers declined to pick up Naji

123
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: Harris's fifty year option, Somebody trying to make the argument

124
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: that Isaia Isaiah pa Check it was better.

125
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't think Nauji Harris. I mean you talk

126
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 3: about runs versus light boxes and things like that.

127
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: I mean that's just looking at the numbers, just looking look,

128
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 2: well look at this on paper. Yeah, he's got Patrick

129
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 2: Mahomes as his quarterback. He never faces an eight or

130
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: nine man box.

131
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: I actually retweeted something about that, like two days ago.

132
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 3: The number of runs verse verse eight man fronts. The

133
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: Chiefs were the last in the league by a thousand.

134
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 3: I mean, everyone's playing too high against Mahomes. Steelers are

135
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: actually near the top of the league in terms of

136
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 3: runs against an eight man box. They were like fourth

137
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: or fifth And side note, what's funny to me is

138
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: the two Super Bowl teams were one and thirty two.

139
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 3: So there's just a lot of ways to skin a cat,

140
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like the Niners run against

141
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 3: a lot of fool boxes, but they also win a

142
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: lot of.

143
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: Games after Mahomes twenty three, Jalen Hurts, Drake London, Roma Dunezia,

144
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: Rashad White, Sam Laporta.

145
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 3: That's tight end worst one.

146
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, James Cook and then Nico Collins. I wouldn't take

147
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: James Cook ahead of Nauja Harris either.

148
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 3: I don't think I would either. I mean, I don't

149
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: know that he's long for this world either. I know

150
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 3: he's a young player. Yeah, if he's built for.

151
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: He's almost twenty, he'll be twenty five this month.

152
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they drafted it back to Yeah, like he's have

153
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: to score touchdowns. I'm just talking purely fantasy. He's have

154
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: to score touchdowns from depth. Yeah. That's a hard one.

155
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: That's hard to do. Hard, Yeah, because you know the

156
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: quarterback is going to vaulture away some of the short

157
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: yardage stuff.

158
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: I mean Jami or Gibbs even has a little bit

159
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 3: of that too him. Yeah, at least a quarterback doesn't

160
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 3: kill him though.

161
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: Thirty one Tk Metcalf, thirty two Brandon Ayuk. See that's

162
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: more like it for me.

163
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: For Ayuk, I think it was you at the point

164
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: two days ago. He's better for a real world and fantasy.

165
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, thirty two. If I'm looking at taking him

166
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: as my you know, my third player, all right, Yeah,

167
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: I can live with that.

168
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, he's good. You know he's gonna produce.

169
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 3: He'll have some down weeks, but you're starting I'm probably

170
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 3: for five as my number two.

171
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: I'm not Yeah, Yeah, then you're looking at Zay Flowers

172
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: that might be a little rich. DeVante Smith, Jaylen Waddle,

173
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: DJ Moore, Rashid Rice, who's getting more and more trouble.

174
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: We did a podcast abou him today, like if you

175
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 3: own him, just hold on to him. But yeah, you

176
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 3: know he's dropping like a stone right now.

177
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker and then Devin at Chan at thirty nine

178
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: with Josh Jacobs at forty.

179
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: The big crux of our conversation this morning was around

180
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 3: A Chan because right now he's going this is different lists.

181
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: It says, if you look at adp, he's the sixth

182
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 3: back off the board. That's insane to me. I can't

183
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 3: I can't go there that area. I love the player right,

184
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: but not at that price. That's the thing. Is my

185
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 3: co host and I kind of back and forth. I'm like,

186
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 3: the question was does the drafting of Wright hurt A Chan,

187
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: And I said, no, My opinion on him still the same.

188
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: I think Right's is going to take over from Moster,

189
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 3: who's like the oldest back in the league. They know

190
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: A Chan's a limited touch guy, so it doesn't change

191
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 3: his stock to me. But then the next question was, well,

192
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 3: were you willing to take him as a six back

193
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 3: off the board. No, it doesn't mean to solve them,

194
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 3: you know.

195
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: Right, So he's tucked in between Kenneth Walker at thirty

196
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 2: eight and Josh Jacobs at forty.

197
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 3: See, that's much more reasonable where he's actually going.

198
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: I would you much rather have maybe one of those

199
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: two backs.

200
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: Well, Jacobs probably only get for a year, but that's

201
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: fine if you look at it like redraft, though, he's

202
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 3: going to get a ton of touches Ken.

203
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: You know, if I'm weighing Kenneth Walker versus Devin a Chan,

204
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: I'm going Kenneth Walker all day long. He's going to

205
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: get fifteen to twenty touches a game.

206
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, for these ranks. You would never get a Chan

207
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 3: at that neighborhood even right he's long gone. Yeah, which

208
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: I think sponkers in this neighborhood. I'm cool with it,

209
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: you know, especially because Dynasty is a little different because

210
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: I probably have eight backs on my roster, So if

211
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 3: he misses a month, I'll throw somebody else in, you

212
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 3: know what I mean, much deeper benches. Yeah, yeah, I

213
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 3: mean I might have picked up Jaylen Warren two years

214
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 3: ago off the free agent heap, you know.

215
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: Forty one, Lamar Jackson forty two, Joe Burrow forty three,

216
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 2: c J.

217
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 3: Stroud Quarterbacks are were real. We're a weird world in

218
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 3: non superflex. Yeah, because it's great to have my homes

219
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: or even hurts. You know that you just plug in

220
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: for years. But there's so many of them. I can

221
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: get Kyled you e haven't mentioned like Kyler Murray yet

222
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 3: or you know what I mean. There's so many of them.

223
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: Forty four, Mark Andrews forty five is Dalton kin Kaid

224
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: that's tight.

225
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: End three, I says Andrews two. Okay.

226
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: Then you're looking at Deebo, Samuel DeVante, Adams, Mike Evans,

227
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 2: T Higgins and Jackson Smith and Jigba at fifty.

228
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 3: So you're still still the case. But like a year ago,

229
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: you could get Mike Evans or Keenan Allen for peanuts.

230
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 3: This time of year, especially like this time of the season,

231
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 3: because it's rookie draft season. Everyone's psyched about, you know,

232
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 3: Xavier Legett. I'd so rather Mike Evans and Xavier Legett,

233
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: you know, right, But last year you would have most

234
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 3: people would have given you the rookie for Mike Evans

235
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: and then he has a monster season. Like some of

236
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: these guys fade away slow and their dynasty stock falls

237
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: way too rapidly.

238
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 2: We get all the way to fifty one before we

239
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: finally get our first Steeler Pickens, and that's George Pickens.

240
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: He's wide receiver twenty eight.

241
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: He's gone up dramatically to this offseason. He shouldn't keep

242
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: like he keeps going up though.

243
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: You're talking about a guy that's twenty three years old. Yeah,

244
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: who's coming off a thousand yard season, who's just scratching

245
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 2: the surface.

246
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: He's a touchdown producer too, Yeah, fantasy.

247
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can make the argument he should be uh something,

248
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: Maybe not top fifteen, but he should be in the

249
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: top twenty ish.

250
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: He's with Deontay Gone. He is ascended rapidly. I don't

251
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 3: know what his ADP is, but I bet you would

252
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: not get him if this was your list. If you

253
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: came into a dynasty startup draft with this list, I

254
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 3: don't think Mike Clay would end up with Pickings.

255
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: I'm sharing that looking here at the wide receivers that

256
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: are ahead of them up to twenty. So Jayleen Wattle

257
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: was wide receiver twenty.

258
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 3: That's a conversation to me.

259
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, DJ Moore was wide receiver twenty one, a lot

260
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: of targets, a lot of targets to share in the Chicago,

261
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: and it's Chicago. They're not going to get away from

262
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 2: running the football.

263
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: It's not gonna be a high volume passed the attack.

264
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: And you're hoping Caleb Williams hits right, I mean he

265
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 3: could be junk.

266
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: Rashi Rice was wide receiver twenty.

267
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: Pickings is going ahead of Rice now, yeah that's not close.

268
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: Uh, Deebo Samuel wide receiver twenty three. Now we're getting

269
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: into that IU conversation, like, yeah, there's gonna be weeks

270
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: where he doesn't do much.

271
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 3: And you really need to think ahead too, Like I

272
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 3: doubt Deebo's aniner next year, right, yeah, he'll be twenty

273
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 3: nine to think about all those things.

274
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams Okay, I could, I could. I can get that, Yeah,

275
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: you know with Mike Evans. Sorry, I get that.

276
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: I get that. And there are birds in the hand, yeah,

277
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: and they're kind of quarterback proof T Higgins.

278
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's you know again, I can he.

279
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: Might be a Patriot next year. Yeah, and then you

280
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: don't love it, then you're.

281
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: Not happy Jackson, Smith and Jigba got rather pickings.

282
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: I'd rather pickings, yeah, I mean, and something's gonna give

283
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 3: with Lockett and Metcalf within the next three hundred and

284
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 3: sixty five days. But I Smith and Jigbit was my

285
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: number one receiver last year in a much worse receiver class,

286
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 3: and I own him a couple of spots, but I

287
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 3: never start them, right. I mean, I'm starting Pickings in

288
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 3: week one. I'm not starting Smith and Jigbait in week one, no,

289
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 3: no doubt.

290
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

291
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 3: That's another brutal thing with dynasty is like Smith, the

292
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: Jigoba is still worth a lot, but I can't even

293
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: start him. Sometimes in this time of year, I'm like,

294
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: I got so young, and I love all these prospects,

295
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: and then you get the week one. I'm like, I

296
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 3: don't want to check the box on any of these dudes.

297
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: The next Steeler on there is Nauji Harris at number

298
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: seventy seven. He's running back twenty four.

299
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 3: I get it. I would definitely buy i Am at

300
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 3: that price. I mean, he scores touchdowns and catch the ball.

301
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 3: Some of the guys ahead of the wonderful Warren's much

302
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: behind him.

303
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: Ramondre Stevenson was watching running back seventeen, DeAndre Swift was

304
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: running back eighteen, Alvin Kamar running back nineteen.

305
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 3: Kamara should be like thirty.

306
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Derrick Henry running back twenty.

307
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: He's an interesting one. I mean, if you want to

308
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 3: live with him for one year. Yeah, you know.

309
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: Brian Robinson running back twenty one.

310
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: I don't even do with Brian Robinson. Ty J.

311
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: Spears is running back twenty two, Javonte Williams running back

312
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: twenty three, and then Harris is running back twenty four.

313
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: There's five or six of those I would take over.

314
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: I would take Harris over. Yeah, I'm with you on that.

315
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 3: I'm just looking here. Kamara to me might be shot.

316
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: Jalen Warren is actually running back twenty five. So the

317
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: Steelers have running backs twenty four and twenty five list,

318
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: so they should be close. Yeah, and then you're getting

319
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: into the Zach Charbonnees, the David Montgomery's and guys of

320
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: that nature.

321
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 3: After that, I don't see.

322
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: And this is his top one fifty.

323
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 3: I'm looking here.

324
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: Oh, Roman will comes in at one nineteen is wide

325
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: receiver fifty eight.

326
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: Okay, I I'm lower on him. I just did rookie ranks,

327
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: and I did it for super flex because that's the

328
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 3: only draft I've done so far. I'll probably tonight or

329
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 3: tomorrow I'll do rookie ranks because I got like five

330
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: more drafts coming up, none of which are super Flex.

331
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: And I was lower on Wilson than consensus. I'm higher

332
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: on him in consensus for the real world, but I

333
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: don't love him for fantasy at the moment because I

334
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 3: do think there's another shoe to drop, even if it's

335
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: next year or next year's first round pick. I think

336
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: he's a lifetime number three for the Steelers on a

337
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 3: team that doesn't throw the ball enough that I won

338
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: him for fantasy a lot.

339
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: The next Steeler then is Pat Farmouth at one twenty eight.

340
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: He is tight end fourteen.

341
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: His stocks starting to go back up, and it was

342
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: taking people a little too long, but tight ends are

343
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: better now than they usually.

344
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: Here's the guys he's yeah. So this kind of gives

345
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: you an idea where the position is at. Jake Ferguson

346
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: is tight end twelve.

347
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: Oh, I'd take fire with over Ferguson.

348
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: Alice Goddard is tight end thirteen.

349
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: I say he's going around like Goddard and Ingram and

350
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 3: the Joku, those guys aren't far off. They're a little

351
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 3: ahead of them.

352
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: Firemouth is tight end fourteen. Dalton Schultz is tight end fifteen.

353
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: Okay, A big thing that really affected for pretty valuable.

354
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah right, they catch a lot of balls. Yeah, I

355
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: would take him over Schultz and Ferguson. I don't know

356
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: if i'd take him over Goddard. But a big thing

357
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 3: that happened is Rock Bauers came in the league this

358
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: year and he's ahead of all those guys. We'll see.

359
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 3: But last year was such a good tight end class

360
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: that the Musgraves and like Michael Mayer's stock got crushed

361
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 3: by Bowers, but they're still There was a lot of

362
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 3: really good rookie tight ends, Laporta and Kincaid at the

363
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: top of the list, but over the last year, so

364
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 3: we've got a lot of potential starting fantasy tight ends

365
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 3: at the league, which is rare. It is rare.

366
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get to a break that's going to do

367
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: it for the fantasy football focus.

368
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 3: A little bit of yeah, yeah, little dynasty talk. There

369
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: he trade this morning. There you go go.

370
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: He is Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lolli. You're listening to

Speaker 2: I'm Dale Lolli, he is d Matt Williamson and Matt

378
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 2: Look you here. Chad Reuter on NFL dot Com is

379
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: put together a list of some Day three rookies in

380
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 2: the draft who could compete for starter snaps in the

381
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: first year.

382
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 3: Okay in the league. Yeah, that's not all that uncommon.

383
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, last year, ten of one hundred and fifty seven

384
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 2: Day three selections started eight and more games. I was

385
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 2: actually down from sixteen of one hundred and fifty eight

386
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 2: selections in twenty twenty two.

387
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 3: You're about to say, I think ten seems low to me.

388
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, but that includes guys like Pooka Nakua.

389
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: That includes Aidan O'Connell, Anthony Bradford, Blake Freeland, Daywon Jones,

390
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: City Trey Palmer, Dante Sills, Jalen Jones, and Carrington Valentine.

391
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 3: So even like a guy like Day one Jones would

392
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: have started more, he could end up getting hurt. Yeah,

393
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 3: he won the job, you know.

394
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, So looking at his list of this year's guys,

395
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 2: number one as Tanner Borderlini, who was one hundred and

396
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: seventeenth pick and round four for the Colts.

397
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: I think he's blocked by Kelly and I mean unless

398
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: they think he's going to be a guard. But even

399
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 3: their guard, he.

400
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: Can compete it right, he's saying he could compete at

401
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 2: right guard with Will Freeze.

402
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 3: I guess. I mean it's I was trying to think

403
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 3: who their other guard was, not Nelson, and it's yeah.

404
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 3: Maybe I always thought Borderlini was the center only, but

405
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 3: I know he does have a background.

406
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he played guard before actually prior to last year

407
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 2: with the Raiders. He's looking at the Cameron richardson the

408
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: cornerback was the one hundred and twelfth pick.

409
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 3: Any corner I think could compete with them in their

410
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: corner group is off.

411
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Jatavian Sanders with the Carolina Panthers was one hundred

412
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: and first pick, A talented tye on a team. It

413
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: doesn't that, I mean, there's nobody blocking him.

414
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: We were just talking dynasty rookie drafts and things. Like that,

415
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 3: and he's been going higher than you would think, probably

416
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: better than he didn't the actual dra exactly. It is

417
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 3: more of a fantasy type asset because he's probably gonna

418
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: be on the field and they'd be losing a lot

419
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: and no brobably catch some ballss here. Uh.

420
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: The fourth guy he has on here is Cedric Gray,

421
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 2: the linebacker for the Titans. He was one hundred and

422
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: sixth overall pick.

423
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: I expected him to go earlier in that too. Yeah,

424
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 3: so I bet they're pretty happy with him. Their linebackers

425
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: are fine but not great. Yeah. I mean, he could

426
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: certainly compete. It would be shocked if he's a starter

427
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 3: by halfway through.

428
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: Jack Gibbons started thirteen games for the Titans last year.

429
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you can do better than that. Yeah.

430
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 2: Troy Franklin with the Broncos. He was one hundred and

431
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: second pick.

432
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 3: He was the one I was going to say before

433
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: we even started. It seems like the most obvious but

434
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 3: not much in his way. I mean, he was the

435
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 3: everyone's best available when Day three started, you know, and

436
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: I think people were worried about his physicality, but especially

437
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 3: they trade Sutton. He a starter probably, I would think so.

438
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: Of Tim Patrick Marvin Mims, Josh Reynolds, and Troy Franklin.

439
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. He's in the mix with those guys. Yeah.

440
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 2: Uh. Ray Davis with the Bills. Yeah, and he's a

441
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 2: much different style of back than James Cook.

442
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 3: Finally, they went out and got a bruiser.

443
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: Well, they had a bruiser. We went over this the

444
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 2: other day. They had moss, they had Zach Moss. They

445
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 2: didn't use them.

446
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 3: Didn't use them at all.

447
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 2: Oh he did last year. We go out and have

448
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 2: a thousand yards.

449
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think also was the starter. And since he starter,

450
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: I hope they used Davis properly. I mean he's an

451
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 3: up in age running back. Use him now or forever

452
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: hold your piece. Yeah. Uh.

453
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 2: Casey Washington with the Falcons, he was the one hundred

454
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 2: and eighty seventh pick in the draft wide receiver out

455
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 2: of Illinois.

456
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 3: They're looking for a third guy. I mean there was

457
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: an opening there. I'm surprised there weren't a little more

458
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 3: aggressive adding type of guys. The Steelers are.

459
00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 2: Darn They got Darnell Mooney, Rondell Moore in. Yeah, that's

460
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: what Casey, that's what Casey Washington is in front of him.

461
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: He's bigger than Darnell Mooney or Rondel say.

462
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: Somebody with size at least could be in the mix. Yeah,

463
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: to be the at least the London direct replacement.

464
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 2: Dadrian Taylor Demerson with the Cardinals, he was a one

465
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: hundred and fourth pick.

466
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: He was one I was holding kind of keep my

467
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: fingers crossed. Wuld it fell to the Steelers too? So

468
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 3: it's probably plenty of Cardinals, Cardinals and Commanders now I

469
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 3: think about it. I mean they had a ton of picks,

470
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 3: not much in front of him. I bet a lot

471
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: of Day three Cardinals and Commanders play.

472
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,239
Speaker 2: Tyresee Knight, the linebacker out of Texas El Paso who

473
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: went one hundred and eighteenth overall to the Seahawks.

474
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 3: I admit this on the air. When they took him,

475
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 3: I knew very very little about him. I was shocking

476
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: when as high as he did. But everyone's raving about

477
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 3: this kid all of a sudden. I don't know if

478
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: he's a super high character, super high you know, football

479
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 3: IQ guy, but they're talking about him being an every

480
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: down the back er for them and kind of being

481
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 3: their queen slash roquand do it, old guy. Where did

482
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 3: this guy come from? Yeah? Boy, everyone's raving about him.

483
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: Cedric Van prinn Grainger with the Bills. He was picked

484
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty first.

485
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, who's the guy that left that?

486
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 2: Mitch Morris interested in Jacksonville. You're looking at Connor McGovern.

487
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 3: That's not bad, right, Yeah. Again, I didn't love Van

488
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 3: prant as a Day three guy or as a round

489
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: three guy, but they got them the fifth. That's fine

490
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: with me.

491
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: Shall Smith Wade with the Carolina Panthers. He was one

492
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty seventh overall pick.

493
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 3: Panthers are a good team on this.

494
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, cornerback out of Washington.

495
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 3: State certainly could be in the mix. Yeah. I mean

496
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 3: they traded their defense the jackson to the Steelers, so

497
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 3: they went all in on offense, and now their defense

498
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 3: is going to be rough. Yeah.

499
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: I hadn't read this before I looked at it here.

500
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: But he has Mason McCormick on you. I'm going to

501
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: tell you right now, Mason McCormick is going to He's

502
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: not competing for a starting job.

503
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 3: No, I don't either. I love the player, I mean

504
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 3: we talked about him a lot pre Drives. I don't

505
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 3: love him because Steeler. I love them coming out I

506
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 3: don't think he'll get any meaningful apps unless there's maybe

507
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 3: two injuries, right, I mean he might put herb again before, right,

508
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 3: I mean maybe a Fraser got hurt early on, you'd

509
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 3: work a bit center. But he's red shirt program. Yeah.

510
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, at thirteen to reb still the cornerback out of Maryland.

511
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 2: He was the one hundred and thirty seventh overall pick

512
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 2: of the Chargers.

513
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 3: They Chargers are another team that could certainly use Day

514
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 3: three guys to get in the mix. Yeah, that would

515
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 3: add up.

516
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 2: Uh. Tommy Eikenberg with the Raiders, he was one hundred

517
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 2: and forty eighth pick, the linebacker out of Ohio State.

518
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 3: Perfect example because he's a high he's a Day three

519
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 3: pick because he doesn't have much upside. But he's a

520
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: plug and play dude. He's super smart, he's led defenses,

521
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 3: he's been in a big time program. He's just not

522
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: a high ceiling.

523
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: I mean, the are other starting linebackers a Divine Divine

524
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 2: Diablo and.

525
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 3: Robert Spalane, and they got a lot of splane.

526
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 2: Tommy Eikenberg might be their most the.

527
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 3: Best guy, yeah, might be the best guy.

528
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 2: And then the last guy on here is Walter Rowse,

529
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 2: the Oklahoma offensive tackle. He was one hundred and seventy

530
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: seventh overall pick.

531
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: Who do you go to again? The Vikings. He's not

532
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: going to beat out either of their tackles. You wouldn't think.

533
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 3: I mean, the guards are maybe he could make a splash.

534
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 3: Rookie o' linemen are tough. It's tough move and especially

535
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: Day three ones. I mean you mentioned the guys. Last year.

536
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 3: Jones from the Browns was a success story, but he

537
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 3: fell because of weight and motivation issues and things like that.

538
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 3: There are many Day three starters on the O line

539
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 3: by design at least. Yeah, it's usually rough way default

540
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 3: by November or whatever.

541
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, rough way to try to rebuild your offensive line,

542
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: as the Steelers found that. Oh yeah, from twenty ten to.

543
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 3: Last year. Last year I did podcast on this yesterday.

544
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 3: I was blown away by.

545
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 2: Two Steeler draft picks in the first two days on.

546
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 3: The defensive line, Chooks and Dan Moore. Yeah, Dan Moore

547
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 3: was a four. Here was a four. Okay, I threw

548
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 3: them all. I mean the names from when the castro

549
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 3: is drafted until when Broderick Jones was drafted. Green was

550
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 3: a three. Green yell. Yeah, But there's a lot of

551
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 3: drafts don't have any lineman drafted. I mean, there's a

552
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: lot of them that are late round. It was I

553
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 3: was startled for.

554
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 2: So long that line was. That was one of the

555
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 2: the It was the beauty and the curse of that

556
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: offensive line. Yeah, the continuity was that, Okay, we got

557
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 2: all these guys, the five starters, we know who they're

558
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 2: going to be. You know who they're going to be

559
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 2: next year and the year after that. They're all signed,

560
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: they're all the same age, they're all you know whatever.

561
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 3: But then when they crumbled and cumbled together, right, and

562
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 3: they weren't prepared.

563
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 2: And you weren't going to use first round draft picks.

564
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 2: We're going to sit on the bench for two years

565
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: behind these guys right now.

566
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: It was a weird situation. And oh, by the way,

567
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 3: Munchak's turning undrafted guys into starters for you two. So

568
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 3: the Hubbards of the world and the Finnies of the

569
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 3: world were good enough as your backups because your line

570
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 3: coach was a star, and Ramon and Villanueva were not

571
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 3: picked either, right, you know. So it's a crazy situation,

572
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 3: but it's funny. I did a podcast yesterday about that.

573
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 3: Like I went through draft history and went from the

574
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: Castro Draft and listed every offensive lineman before Rodert Jones.

575
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 3: It's like very few periods, I mean a decade there

576
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: where they drafted like six or seven total and none

577
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 3: of them high.

578
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 2: I would think we're probably heading into another.

579
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 3: Well that's where I was like, times to change, folks. Draft.

580
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 2: See another offensive lineman drafted in the first two days

581
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: of the draft for the Steelers in the next five years.

582
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 3: I bet not. I mean I bet I would be shocked.

583
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 3: I bet a d lineman will be the next one

584
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 3: the next next run of things. I bet there'll be

585
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: some three they've drafted.

586
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: They've drafted five offensive linemen in two years, yeah, right, four,

587
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 2: four of whom were in the top first four rounds.

588
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, top fifty one picks. You would hope you're close

589
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 3: to done.

590
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to have to get it. Bet

591
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: go back into that market again, because you know.

592
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 3: Right, No, that's the beauty of taking tackles. When they

593
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 3: took these tackles is because you don't want to be

594
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 3: in that market. I mean, it's it's a shortage position.

595
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: But I was shocked. I was flabbergasted. A decade's worth

596
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 3: of draft how few and how little resources they put

597
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: in the offensive lineman and still won a lot of games. Yeah,

598
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 3: it was mind boggling to me.

599
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: And then lost all all those guys all at the

600
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: same time.

601
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 3: No, we got to build a line to your project.

602
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 3: But they might have done it. They've done it.

603
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 2: They've rebuilt the whole thing. It's it's pretty impressive actually

604
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: to see how they've how they've accomplished this and gone

605
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: about it.

606
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 3: I do believe that you can rebuild a position group

607
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 3: in a year, but not o line. It's too many.

608
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, ten ten players in the room, five

609
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 3: of them on the field at once. You can't rebuild all.

610
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 2: Think about it from this perspective.

611
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 3: If they didn't too, that's a great.

612
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: The offensive line that they started the twenty twenty two

613
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: season with, yeah, twenty twenty Yeah, they've got two left.

614
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it makes sense. I mean just total just completely

615
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 3: reworked them.

616
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: It's it's Dan Moore and it's James Daniels.

617
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: That's it.

618
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 2: That's the only two guys who were on the on

619
00:27:59,160 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: that team.

620
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, wow, and yeah, that's crazy. I mean everyone

621
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: talks about rework at the quarterback room, and that was

622
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 3: wholesale changes.

623
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 2: You know, you've talked about nine or ten guys in

624
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 2: your offensive line room.

625
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean there's not even a finny that's

626
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 3: been floating around the type of guy. That's just a

627
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 3: stable environment. I think that's about the change. But boy,

628
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 3: the offensive line philosophy has changed dramatically in the last

629
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 3: two years.

630
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I think it'll pay off.

631
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 3: It should. I mean, that's a good place to start.

632
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 3: That's the idea.

633
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: And if you if you know that's your offensive line

634
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 2: should travel.

635
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I think teams with good offensive lines

636
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 3: have a high floor. Yeah, I mean, and it's a

637
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 3: great building block for fields or the first round rookie

638
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 3: quarterback or whatever you know. I mean, but if you

639
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: have a line in place, it's a nest I thought.

640
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh put it well at the at the owners

641
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: meetings when he said the offensive line is the only

642
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: position on the team that isn't dependent upon somebody else.

643
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 3: Doing their job.

644
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 2: Just you guys do your job by yourselves. If you

645
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 2: do your job by yourself, everything else kind of works out.

646
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: You're not relying on the.

647
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 2: Quarterback to do this, or the wide receivers to do that.

648
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 3: Or and that includes quarterback because the line stinks and

649
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: your quarterbacks at the mercy of those blocking form.

650
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, if the quarterback stinks, you can still get by

651
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 2: with your offensive line running the football and those kind

652
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: of things.

653
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 3: Or you're gonna get a lot of one on ones

654
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 3: because you're eight and eight man boxes and makes the

655
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 3: quarterbacks job a lot easier. Absolutely, let's get to another break.

671
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: lot entering the twenty twenty four season, but they're hardly alone.

672
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 3: No, there's still a lot of weak position groups right now.

673
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there may be some teams that you might

674
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: be able to do some things with with some of

675
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: these things.

676
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 3: So I'm looking here.

677
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: This is a story by Dan Pezuda on the thirty

678
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 2: third team. Yeah, just work looking at the biggest roster

679
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: questions entering the twenty twenty four season. Number one on

680
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 2: here for him is Jacksonville's secondary.

681
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 3: Oh I could see that. Yeah, they weren't real aggressive there. Yeah,

682
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 3: they got work to do. And it's a lot of

683
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 3: these aren't going to get fixed, you.

684
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: Know, right, You just can't. You don't at this point,

685
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: you can't fix it.

686
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 3: No. I mean, yeah, you can make some trades, you

687
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 3: can keep the scan the waiver wire, but you're probably

688
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 3: looking to do battle with what you got.

689
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and well you know who knows if you if

690
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: the team has a surplus of things, you might be

691
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 2: able to make something happen.

692
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think they're it's starting to become a trend

693
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 3: under this front office. But I think there's a real

694
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: good chance a current Steeler gets traded, which brings me

695
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 3: to Miami.

696
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Miami's big problem, their biggest issue, their offensive line.

697
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: They did nothing to fix it.

698
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 3: They just keep drafting speed. And we broke down the

699
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 3: AFC East draft classes yesterday on a podcast, and I

700
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 3: kept using the line it's like they dessert for dinner,

701
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, like, all these pass rushers and

702
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: all these speed demons, give me a guard, you know,

703
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 3: Like eventually you got to go to Buffalo and New

704
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 3: England and New York and hopefully in the winner.

705
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 2: And they're two big additions on their offensive line this year,

706
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: five pound Aaron.

707
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: Brewer, who they lost Connor Williams. Lost Connor Williams.

708
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 2: They downgraded there with that, which they can still resigned

709
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: Connor Williams they could, uh, And then they drafted in

710
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 2: the second round Patrick Paul, who is a projec project.

711
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 3: He's gonna learn from Armstead, which is a good situation

712
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 3: for Paul and a good situation for.

713
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 2: Him's the problem though, because he's playing when he's playing

714
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: behind Armstead, he's gonna end up playing like six or

715
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: seven games this.

716
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 3: Year, he probably will get in the game. Yeah. So realistically,

717
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: the people that you're likely to play with at left

718
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 3: tackle and center are worse than last year.

719
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, which was already bad.

720
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 3: Which was already bad, right, all right? And they lost

721
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 3: They also lost Hunt to Carolina, the guard who's maybe

722
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 3: their best lineman when considering arms that doesn't play that much.

723
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 3: I don't know ship him Dan Moore her big. I

724
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: would certainly, I've talked to him. Yeah, yeah, you'rena probably

725
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 3: wattle away from him, but no, but get something that

726
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: could maybe turn into a receiver, get the round pick

727
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 3: or something.

728
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I I I would at least listen if

729
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 2: they called and say, you've got a surplus of offensive lineman.

730
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: We need an offensive lineman.

731
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 3: We've seen this with Dotson and Kendrick Green, and yeah

732
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 3: you can. I love the philosophy of having an extra alignment,

733
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: you know, I think they do right now.

734
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: They might have a couple extra Yeah, that's what happens

735
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: when you.

736
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 3: Draft three Yeah.

737
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: Uh, the Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers, so yeah, no doubt.

738
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you want to talk about a group that's

739
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 2: the Steelers aren't even close to being no dead last

740
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: in the league.

741
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 3: Like Mconkey's the only guy had one.

742
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 2: From him and he's done nothing and he's a nothing.

743
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 3: He's a total mystery r.

744
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, like DJ Chark might be their number two.

745
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a big addition for him. Like I honestly

746
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 3: think DJ Shark's on the same level of like you know,

747
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 3: Ques Watkins and those. Yeah, I mean he's four.

748
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a bad group.

749
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 3: It's a really bad group. And but in a way

750
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: they kind of did the Steeler move. Is well, our

751
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 3: O line is now firm and maybe that's next year's project.

752
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 3: But we got Alton Slater and we're pretty happy with

753
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 3: the big boys doing the walking. Yeah. Uh, Atlanta's defensive line.

754
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 3: They drafted three defensive linemens. I don't know. It's not

755
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 3: a great group, but I didn't love the players they took,

756
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 3: especially for the cost.

757
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 2: In the second round brayln Srice and the third Bendondurius

758
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 2: in the fourth.

759
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's not great. And maybe they could call

760
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 3: back Kalais Campbell or somebody like that, Nomakong Su or

761
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 3: something like that. But man, there's always old guy d

762
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 3: lineman out there that don't want to go to training camp. Yeah,

763
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 3: but they're not foundation players, no one year deals or

764
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 3: limited snap guys. Yeah.

765
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 2: So I look at that group and are some of

766
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 2: those groups I'm like, well, things aren't so bad.

767
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 3: I mean, oh, I'm sure every team has something like that. Yeah,

768
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 3: I mean that could be a much longer list than

769
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 3: what we list.

770
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean those are those are four big ones. Yeah,

771
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 2: but there are bigger ones than that.

772
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean even in the division. I don't

773
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 3: love the Browns running backs. I don't love the dns

774
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 3: in Cincy, especially if Hendrickson really once out. Baltimore's OH

775
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 3: line doesn't look complete to me. You know, I think

776
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 3: they could still use a receiver. You know, I just

777
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 3: could come up with something, probably for almost every team. Yeah. Yeah,

778
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 3: the Bills grabbed key On or Coleman, but another receiver

779
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 3: sure wouldn't hurt them either.

780
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that fixed you know, they lost Gabe Davis too.

781
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 3: Right, right, that's kind of a one for one swap,

782
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: and and Diggs is gone, right, so they still lost

783
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 3: more than they gained, and it wasn't a super strong

784
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 3: position last year. Yeah.

785
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 2: So, I mean every team has its problems.

786
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, you spend so much.

787
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 2: Time breaking down the team that you cover or the team.

788
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 3: That you follow microscope on.

789
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes it gets kind of lost in the shuffle

790
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: exactly what some of the other teams are going through

791
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: as well.

792
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and again, like Tennessee is an interesting example,

793
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 3: they signed Tyler Boyd. I didn't see that coming. I

794
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 3: didn't see that as a need for them, But I

795
00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 3: mean that.

796
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 2: To me just screams the same thing that the you know,

797
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 2: the Steelers did when they when they signed Van Jefferson.

798
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: Tyler Boyd have been with Callahan and Cincinnati. He's going

799
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 2: to be the guy comes in and teaches, makes sense

800
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: the rest of the room, the offense.

801
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's definitely a pro. And I'm not ripping

802
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 3: on him. I don't think he's worth four point five

803
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 3: million and I don't wouldn't fit here. Yeah, right, but

804
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 3: he is going to have value in that capacity. I mean,

805
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 3: he's gonna be good for the rest of the room

806
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 3: and all that.

807
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 2: I just saw a thing though. That said, if they

808
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,919
Speaker 2: end up with their starting three wide receivers of Hopkins.

809
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 3: Boy Ridley and Ridley, a lot of money.

810
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 2: It's a lot of money. They'll have the first all

811
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 2: over thirty Wow, and it's old wide receiver groups. I

812
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 2: think since somebody didn't like twenty.

813
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 3: Twelve with the young guys that are available with that

814
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 3: position too, four point five million, one of them is

815
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 3: like twenty two million. One of them is like close

816
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 3: to twenty, and they're old. Ridley's older than people think. Yeah,

817
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 3: he's gonna be thirty. He's me thirty. Wow, I didn't

818
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 3: think of that. I mean, it's nice for Levis, but man,

819
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 3: that's not a great way to tea they stay healthy. Yeah,

820
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 3: Westbrook Keene got money. I mean they resigned him and

821
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 3: he signed him but got some kind of bonus. I

822
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 3: don't love Burks, but I would call about him.

823
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd at least make, you know, make the phone

824
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 2: call and say, hey, what would it take.

825
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're interested. If if he's making first round money,

826
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 3: that at least saved something there. It would be a

827
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 3: big cap hit for the Steelers. And I'm not saying

828
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 3: he's the answer, but I'd like to see him run around

829
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 3: the camp see what happened, right, Yeah, you know, if

830
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:28,959
Speaker 3: you got a first round pedigree.

831
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,399
Speaker 2: If he's had a favor, he's at a favor same.

832
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 2: That's the same reason I would call the Packers and see,

833
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 2: you know, if one of their guys is available.

834
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 3: Yea, did they draft any receivers? I don't think they

835
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 3: believe they did this.

836
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 2: That you know, when you draft so many last you

837
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 2: draft like five and two years yea draft anymore?

838
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I'd be really interested in Christian Watson if

839
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 3: you get him a great deal. Yeah, there's probably more

840
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 3: of those names than we think. Recently drafted kind of

841
00:37:55,120 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 3: having quite hits, aren't terrible players, high pedigree, guys injured. Yeah,

842
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 3: I'm sure we could come up with more names.

843
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: And then I look at that Packers depth chart at

844
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 2: wide receiver. You got Watson, you got Dobbs, you got

845
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 2: Jaden Reid.

846
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 3: Bo Melton. They like Melton, they love Reid.

847
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 2: Uh, Malika Heath, Dantavian Wicks.

848
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 3: I'll say Wicks is a guy that's definitely gonna be

849
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 3: a keeper.

850
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 2: That would be a guy that I mean, if he's

851
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 2: gonna be your number four or five.

852
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 3: I've never been a Dobbs guy, but it could be useful.

853
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 3: I a two for the Steelers. He's better than Yeah,

854
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 3: and all these guys are young, they're all cheap. Watson

855
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 3: would be my target.

856
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 2: But I would you know, if they want to give

857
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 2: me Dantavius.

858
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 3: Wicks, Okay, I'd be really interested.

859
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 2: You want to give me, We'll make a deal for

860
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 2: Romeo Dobbs, all right, we can do that.

861
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: They're also flush with young tight ends. I mean they're

862
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 3: all they're past. They have a lot of pass catchers

863
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 3: at that point. Yeah, they're not a bad team to call.

864
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 3: I do them warming up to the slate and call

865
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 3: too with the Giants and they got if they're not

866
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 3: going to resign them. Maybe some of these are even

867
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 3: like into the season or into training camp type moves too.

868
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 3: I don't know. I still thin't Steelers are going to

869
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 3: be calling about receivers.

870
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I mean there's some teams out there that

871
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 2: have maybe more than what they need.

872
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 3: Or boy, he's fine, but we just drafted one, and like,

873
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, I know the Steelers aren't the market

874
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 3: for a tight end, but I'm sure that there's receivers

875
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 3: that are in the Michael Mayer situation where we couldn't

876
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 3: believe this guy was available, so we took him, and

877
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 3: the player we like is now buried and maybe you

878
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 3: can get him a little bit of a discount. Yeah,

879
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: Miami's situations. I saw he was fullded Miami's death charge.

880
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 2: They got a lot of dudes, A lot of dudes like,

881
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 2: so you got Waddle, you got back in me get Tyreek.

882
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 3: I think that DeVante Parker too, don't they No?

883
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 2: Okay, but they got Eric Sukhana, who was a fourth

884
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 2: round pick last year, right River Craik Craft.

885
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 3: He's been drafted to this year. That are both Braxton Barrios.

886
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 3: I forgot Barriers is still there too.

887
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 2: Anthony Schwartz, Braylan Sanders, Malik Washington, and TODs Washington.

888
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 3: I mean I think Malik and are probably gonna make

889
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 3: the team.

890
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: Maybe Tadj Washingt's a seventh round draft pick, and yeah,

891
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 2: Malik Washington is a six.

892
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 3: But shocked me. I think there was an injury there. Yeah,

893
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 3: I don't know why you needed Beckham with that group.

894
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 3: I mean drafted that's again. Could you get one of

895
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 3: those guys for her, big damn or I'm not sure?

896
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 3: I mean, Wattle will be the one I really really want.

897
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 3: What will be the one you want?

898
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 2: But you're not going to get to.

899
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 3: Give up substantial draft pick capital for it.

900
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 2: Does Braxton Barrios do it for you?

901
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 3: No? Not really? I mean wat will be the one

902
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 3: I want from the group. Yeah, and you could convince

903
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 3: me to give you good stuff for Wattle. Yeah, I

904
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 3: mean first, next year's first is off the table for

905
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 3: me in any trade that might have to be a quarterback.

906
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 3: I'm just not traded next year's first. But I would

907
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 3: consider moving twos for the right guys and more. Yeah.

908
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 3: I don't love giving a future for early picks, but

909
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 3: I mean it's going to take more than a two

910
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 3: to get Wattle.

911
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 2: I mean their offensive line right now is bad. Armstead,

912
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 2: Isaiah Winn, Aaron Brewer, Robert Jones, and Austin Jackson.

913
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yu and Paul sitting and waiting. But Armstead never

914
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 3: plays the full season and probably he's done after this

915
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 3: year either way. And we talked about Brewer for the Steelers,

916
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 3: but he's a middle of the road center at best. Yeah.

917
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 3: I mean, he's not much better than Mason Cole or

918
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 3: you know, he's certainly yeah, yeah, yeah, he's not going

919
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 3: to get bigger. No, I mean as many edge draft

920
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 3: of two edge guys tomorrow was one that we liked

921
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 3: and two receivers, I can't believe they couldn't take more

922
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 3: guard center types at least or project tackle in this draft, right.

923
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 3: I mean it just screams, we're going to outscore you

924
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 3: to no end and then rush the passer because we're

925
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 3: so good and I don't know that they're at that level. Yeah,

926
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 3: good luck with that. Yeah, they'll be fine. September. Call

927
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 3: me in December. Yeah, that's going to do it.

928
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 2: For the show today, met.

929
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, fun one absolutely touched on a lot of stuff.

930
