Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly
Speaker 2: source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and
Speaker 2: whatever stupid stuff they decide to drop into the show. Now,
Speaker 2: here's your host, Paul Chargion.
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchi and
Speaker 1: my co host today. It's not thorn Eystrom what Matt Harrison?
Speaker 3: I have no idea what I'm doing here. It's im season.
Speaker 3: What is going on?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we decided to give thor a break. He did
Speaker 1: just drop his five hundred player cops goodness for rookies
Speaker 1: in this year's draft class. Matt, they only draft two fifty.
Speaker 1: That's crazy.
Speaker 3: What an idiot? I mean, he could have done like
Speaker 3: three hundred.
Speaker 1: All right, what right?
Speaker 3: Three?
Speaker 1: Nobody you would have quibbled. I asked him, why are
Speaker 1: you Why are you doing five hundred, and he said,
Speaker 1: it's a personal challenge to myself. There's no assignment to
Speaker 1: do five hundred. He just wanted to do five hundreds.
Speaker 1: He wanted to know something about everybody that can possibly
Speaker 1: have an impact. That's amazing.
Speaker 3: I mean, to that end, why stop at five hundred.
Speaker 1: Let's start breaking down Division II football.
Speaker 3: You never know.
Speaker 1: This week's show sans thor, I want to look at
Speaker 1: the ten players who are expected to go at or
Speaker 1: near the first round that are fantasy fantasy position players.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a ton of offensive and defensive linemen
Speaker 1: taken in this draft, but there's ten guys who can
Speaker 1: go through the first round or early second round, maybe
Speaker 1: working their way into the bottom of the first and
Speaker 1: I'd like you and I had to go through them
Speaker 1: the ten. You can take five, I'll take five. We'll
Speaker 1: hit Travis Hunter at the end because he's his own
Speaker 1: special case. But here's the challenge, man. For each player,
Speaker 1: I want to give the probable landing spot, Like if
Speaker 1: you had to just bet on where that player is
Speaker 1: going to go, this would be the one team. I
Speaker 1: also want you to give me the perfect spot for
Speaker 1: fantasy greatness. If you could pick a semi plausible spot
Speaker 1: for that guy to drop too, this is where we
Speaker 1: would maximize his fantasy value. And then for each player,
Speaker 1: the dark horse team, somebody that people aren't generally talking
Speaker 1: about but could actually land that player.
Speaker 3: And we should mention that we're going to skip former
Speaker 3: incarnate word quarterback cam Ward, who's going to go first overall? Yes,
Speaker 3: because I bet Thor probably did the current incarnate word quarterback.
Speaker 3: He probably I don't know.
Speaker 1: The guy's name, but you are probably right about that.
Speaker 1: And so we're not going to do cam Ward because
Speaker 1: we all know where he's going. He's going first overall.
Speaker 1: There's a ninety five percent chances.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's pretty pretty obvious that he's going
Speaker 3: to go there. I got a couple of things in
Speaker 3: here later in the show that maybe if there's some
Speaker 3: crazy things that happen, I don't know, you never so
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, the reason why something crazy could happen at
Speaker 1: pick one is because cam Word should not go pick one.
Speaker 1: He is not the most talented player in this draft.
Speaker 1: In my mind, this is there are two players that
Speaker 1: are on their own tier, Travis Hunter and Abdulla Carter.
Speaker 1: Those are the two best players. They're not quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: I believe I heard on another podcast that last year
Speaker 3: when cam Ward came out and said he was going
Speaker 3: to join the NFL Draft, that they gave him a
Speaker 3: fourth or fifth round comp and then he went back
Speaker 3: to school.
Speaker 1: Good call. That's gonna make him many many millions.
Speaker 3: Dollars and it will. But we're talking about a guy
Speaker 3: who last year was a fourth or fifth round pick
Speaker 3: going first overall. That if I'm the Titans, that makes
Speaker 3: me pause a little bit.
Speaker 1: Just a little bit. What when I asked about cam
Speaker 1: Ward with thor and asked where would he have gone
Speaker 1: this just last week? Where would he go in last
Speaker 1: year's draft class as this year's cam Ward? So based
Speaker 1: on everything that we know through this season, he still
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a top five quarterback in last year's draft,
Speaker 1: but he's gonna go first overall here. So all right,
Speaker 1: let's roll up our sleeves beginning with and we'll put
Speaker 1: these in order. These are the order that they're generally
Speaker 1: being mocked in, but that doesn't mean that this is
Speaker 1: the order we think they're gonna go in or that
Speaker 1: they will go in. This is gonna be a super
Speaker 1: weird draft because it's so level. There isn't the steep
Speaker 1: cliff between players, and so this thing could go a
Speaker 1: lot of different ways.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's two players at the top in Travis Hunter
Speaker 3: and Abdull Carter, and then tier two is gigantic.
Speaker 1: Gigantic I think it is. I think it's a gigantic
Speaker 1: tier two. After those two guys, let's go to Ashton Genty,
Speaker 1: who's probably after cam Ward, expected to be the next
Speaker 1: Fantasy relevant player drafted on Thursday.
Speaker 3: I agree with that his probable landing spot is the
Speaker 3: Las Vegas Raiders. At pick numbers, they're the Draft Kings
Speaker 3: sportsbook favorite to land Ashton Genty. They're minus one ten
Speaker 3: to get them. And normally when they do like landing
Speaker 3: spots for specific player, they don't put a minus number
Speaker 3: on any guys. It's usually like, you know, the favorites,
Speaker 3: like plus two ninety or ago something like that. So
Speaker 3: Genty at minus one ten is a pretty telling sign.
Speaker 3: Pete Carroll likes to run the ball. He had Marshawn Lynch,
Speaker 3: he had Kenneth Walker, he had a bunch of different
Speaker 3: guys that were pretty good in that position.
Speaker 1: And Marshawn Lynch made those Super Bowl offenses as in
Speaker 1: my mind, as much as Russell Wilson did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Tom Brady, right, who who is Pete Carroll's boss?
Speaker 3: Why did you? Why did you throw? They'll no, So
Speaker 3: Caroll likes to run the ball. This a mere White
Speaker 3: experiment was an absolute disaster. Last year, and the Raiders
Speaker 3: want to bring some level of professionalism back to their franchise.
Speaker 3: Running the ball really well will do that, and I
Speaker 3: think that it brings another dimension to that offense. My
Speaker 3: pie in the sky perfect landing spot for Genty is
Speaker 3: the Chargers trading up from number twenty two, and it
Speaker 3: probably be trade now this is I don't think there's this.
Speaker 3: There's a possibility that Jenty goes further than Dallas at twelve.
Speaker 3: I think I think that that is the drop dead
Speaker 3: spot right there. So I think if he if the
Speaker 3: Raiders skip him at six and he falls a little bit,
Speaker 3: this would be the Chargers moving up to like ten
Speaker 3: or eleven to go get Janty. The Harbaugh offense last
Speaker 3: year proved that it can have at least league average
Speaker 3: rushing stats with JK. Dobbins and Gus Edwards.
Speaker 1: The undead corpse of JK. Dobbins Gus Edwards.
Speaker 3: Ye, but uh, Jim just watched his brother John get
Speaker 3: rid of those two guys exactly and then insert a
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry runner into the Baltimore offense, which turned out
Speaker 3: to work really amazing for him. I think that the
Speaker 3: Charge would like to do something like that too. They
Speaker 3: added Naji Harris in the off season. They still have Dobbins,
Speaker 3: but it doesn't take much to beat out either of
Speaker 3: those two guys for the bellcow role.
Speaker 1: I commend you for not going Chicago for genty because
Speaker 1: there's going to be good running backs later for Chicago,
Speaker 1: and we'll talk more about those later. I think they'll
Speaker 1: they'll go another direction, including offensive line.
Speaker 3: Chicago has picked thirty nine and pick forty one, and
Speaker 3: I think that that's too juicy for them to just
Speaker 3: take a running back all the way up at what
Speaker 3: are they ten?
Speaker 1: Ten? Yep? At ten?
Speaker 3: The dark horse candidate?
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought you Chargers were the dark There are
Speaker 1: my pie in the sky the dark horse.
Speaker 3: The Cleveland Browns at two. I don't think it too
Speaker 3: but probably moving down from two, and that's if the
Speaker 3: Patriots or the Jaguars want to bump up into the
Speaker 3: top three to go get a guy like Travis Hunter
Speaker 3: so or Abdul Carter. If the Browns slide down to
Speaker 3: four or five, suddenly, Ashton genty is kind of interesting
Speaker 3: right there. Jerome Ford, Pierre Strong, and John Kelly are
Speaker 3: the running backs on roster right now. And how do
Speaker 3: you overcome Deshaun Watson. You just make him turn around
Speaker 3: and hand the ball off to Ashton Genty.
Speaker 1: Over and over and over again. Come to this, they
Speaker 1: have to overcome their own quarterback.
Speaker 3: They do so I'm I'm I actually wouldn't rule out
Speaker 3: the Browns taking him at pick number two either.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Tet McMillan. And for me,
Speaker 1: I don't have any trades. I'm assuming all the teams
Speaker 1: stick to their spots when I do my probable landing
Speaker 1: spots and are pie in the skyline and the dark cars.
Speaker 3: You don't have an imagination, no.
Speaker 1: Imagination, No Teed McMillan. His comp has been t Higgins.
Speaker 1: You get the huge catch radius, you get the big hands,
Speaker 1: you get the his ability to outleap everybody. He's got
Speaker 1: the big frame. There's a lot of spots for him.
Speaker 1: I think the most probable landing spots for Teed McMillan.
Speaker 1: And this was a hard one for me. I think
Speaker 1: Alice at twelve because they they need another receiver after
Speaker 1: Seed Lamb.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think that there they are a lock to
Speaker 3: get a position player in the first round.
Speaker 1: In mind, doesn't it feel that way? It does? It does,
Speaker 1: Although they need help on offensive line too, and that's
Speaker 1: their line has gotten worse. They need they need a
Speaker 1: few things, you know. I could see McMillan. The only
Speaker 1: reason I hesitate on McMillan to Dallas as opposed to
Speaker 1: Matthew Golden we'll talk about in a minute, is McMillan
Speaker 1: is not fast, and I think they could use a
Speaker 1: downfield burner and and so we'll see, we'll talk a
Speaker 1: little Matthew Golden later and see if that it makes
Speaker 1: a little more sense for Dallas. If there's a pie
Speaker 1: in the sky spot for Ted McMillan, to me, it's
Speaker 1: Seattle where he could walk in and replace DK Metcalf.
Speaker 1: Sam Donald was able to power Justin Jefferson into being
Speaker 1: an elite fantasy wide receiver. Sam Donald is a better
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback for his receivers than Gino Smith would have been.
Speaker 1: And so I think the I think an ideal spot
Speaker 1: for Ted McMillan is if he does drop, and I
Speaker 1: I see him dropping in more and more mocks as
Speaker 1: we're getting closer to the closer to the draft itself,
Speaker 1: I could see McMillan dropping to eighteen for Seattle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's there's an opportunity that we could
Speaker 3: see one wide receiver maybe picked in the first round.
Speaker 1: And it might not be Tet. They could drop yeah,
Speaker 1: and then my dark horse team, how about the Chargers?
Speaker 3: How about him? How about that?
Speaker 1: They just talked about the Chargers a little bit.
Speaker 3: They probably need a wide receiver Cocky over there, but.
Speaker 1: Said it slot for the ladd Their outside receivers are horrible.
Speaker 1: They might be starting Mike Williams, who couldn't catch a
Speaker 1: pass last year. So this is a This is a
Speaker 1: Charger team that really needs help. And if Ted, if
Speaker 1: Ted is sitting there at twenty two, I think the
Speaker 1: Chargers would make that move. This is a very good
Speaker 1: tight end draft class, beginning with Penn State tight end
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren. Talk to me about him.
Speaker 3: Matt the probable landing spot. Well, the the Vegas odds
Speaker 3: have the Colts at number fourteen or the Jets at
Speaker 3: number seven as the top two options. I think the
Speaker 3: most likely outcome is the Bears at number ten, though
Speaker 3: the new coach Ben Johnson had Sam Laporta in Detroit,
Speaker 3: and when you have a top tier tight end like
Speaker 3: Sam Laporta, it unlocks your offense in so much of
Speaker 3: a different way. Cole Komet's a guy. He's not a
Speaker 3: difference maker.
Speaker 1: You know what he is. He's an overpaid guy.
Speaker 3: He's an overpaid guy fifty And it's possible what a
Speaker 3: bad contract. Ben Johnson could come in and just say, Hey,
Speaker 3: some of these guys that you've signed, I don't really
Speaker 3: want them. Cut them.
Speaker 1: It's possible that happens when new regimes take over.
Speaker 3: So you think that they could go runner maybe at ten.
Speaker 3: We talked about that a little bit before, but I
Speaker 3: think Ashton genty is gone and no other runner really
Speaker 3: makes sense there. Plus the depth of the position so deep,
Speaker 3: so I think they grab one with one of their
Speaker 3: second round picks, the Pie in the sky. To be honest,
Speaker 3: we just talked about this team as well. I think
Speaker 3: the best possible landing spot would be Dallas at pick
Speaker 3: number twelve for a lot of the things you said.
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott, he's a good quarterback who supported good fantasy
Speaker 3: tight ends before Ceedee Lamb is gonna draw coverage away.
Speaker 3: Their offensive line is about league average, and I don't
Speaker 3: think that'll force him to stay in and block too much.
Speaker 3: And they have no other weapons. They'll definitely draft a
Speaker 3: running back but he's fighting with Jake Ferguson, Jalen Tolbert,
Speaker 3: and Cavante Turpin for targets. If that's all he's fighting with,
Speaker 3: he's getting ten targets a game in that offense. So
Speaker 3: the dark horse, I've got the Jacksonville Jaguars if they
Speaker 3: choose to trade down out of number five.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give you the I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: the trade down scenario for Jacksonville. You just mentioned the
Speaker 1: Bears how they need a running back. They'd love to
Speaker 1: get a running back, and they could get one in
Speaker 1: the second round, but they've got the two second round picks, Sojaguar.
Speaker 1: The Bears go from ten, they flip to five with
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, they give up one of their two second
Speaker 1: early second round picks to move five spots and to
Speaker 1: take genty yes, and they take Ashon genty yeah, and
Speaker 1: they stay get up one spot ahead of the Raiders.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 1: Let didn't that'd be amazing.
Speaker 3: I think the Jaguars are definitely in a spot to
Speaker 3: trade down a little bit.
Speaker 1: Agreed. They need help a lot of places, and you know,
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, it's a spot that's really kind of made
Speaker 1: for a tight end to pop in right now, all
Speaker 1: you gotta do is beat out Brenton Strange.
Speaker 3: They have pieces of a good offense with Brian Thomas
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence. They are a couple of running backs that
Speaker 3: are yeah all right, and they got a new offensive coach.
Speaker 3: Another spot. He'd be featured right away. They won't pick
Speaker 3: him at number five, but if someone skips out of
Speaker 3: the top three or four, the Jags would be a
Speaker 3: good spot right there. Notable I did see on thor
Speaker 3: Nis Drum's latest mock draft on Fantasy Life. He had
Speaker 3: the Niners trading up to number five. I don't see
Speaker 3: it to take Tyler Warren.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: I thought it's crazy, that's nuts.
Speaker 1: The George Kittle succession plan.
Speaker 3: Don't trade up to number five.
Speaker 1: I don't see that.
Speaker 3: Thorn.
Speaker 1: I love Thorp. Yeah that's I don't agree with that,
Speaker 1: all right. That was Tyler Warren. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: other tight end. Yeah, that's being mocked into the first
Speaker 1: round widely, and that's Colston Loveland. This is the Michigan kid,
Speaker 1: the big frame, He's smooth, he's fluid runner, elite route runner,
Speaker 1: can run in a full route tree for a tight end,
Speaker 1: and honestly, you can run receiver route trees. At Michigan,
Speaker 1: they lined him up slot in line and outside of
Speaker 1: the boundary for a tight end. Versatiles and Loveland ver
Speaker 1: very versatile. I like versatile, not versatile exactly.
Speaker 3: I say versatile when I'm using it in the middle
Speaker 3: of a sentence, but just saying.
Speaker 1: It alone, you gotta a little extra emphasis on the
Speaker 1: second sylt. That a drop rate of just three percent.
Speaker 1: Now everybody is tying Jim Harbaugh, Colton Loveland's college coach
Speaker 1: at Michigan to the Chargers at pick twenty two. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna go with the masses and say that's
Speaker 1: a very probable landing spot because la only has Tyler
Speaker 1: Conklin and then the Ben the Brian Johnson.
Speaker 3: Favorite Will Disley, well Dusli.
Speaker 1: Exactly, well done, that's the Brian Johnson. Is it British accent?
Speaker 2: Is?
Speaker 3: I think that was like Irish of Scottish.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Yeah, yeah, so that still makes it.
Speaker 1: It still makes a ton of sense. They could use
Speaker 1: help there where you talked about the Chargers passing game
Speaker 1: needing more than just Lad mcconkee here's the landing spot
Speaker 1: that is best for fantasy greatness for Colson Loveland. The
Speaker 1: Bengals pick seventy, they got Jamar Chase, they got To Higgins.
Speaker 1: You can't put more defensive resources against the tight end. Yes,
Speaker 1: Mike Kasicki's there, but Kasiki is like thirty years old
Speaker 1: in this point right, and Loveland would be a guy.
Speaker 1: Whereas Kasiki is a qualified blocker, he's more of an
Speaker 1: inline guy. Colson Lovelin could be standing in the slot,
Speaker 1: he could be boundary guy. There's a lot of ways
Speaker 1: that Loveland could still be fantasy impactful even with Kasiki there.
Speaker 1: I would love that spot for him long term. Not
Speaker 1: maybe not so much this year, but in future years.
Speaker 1: That would be a great spot for Colson Lovelin.
Speaker 3: I think that makes a lot of sense if the
Speaker 3: Bengals trade Trey Hendrickson on Draft Day and get another
Speaker 3: first round pick.
Speaker 1: Hmmm. I wonder if that could happen. Maybe think it
Speaker 1: could the dark horse team that could take Colson Lovelin.
Speaker 1: Let's say he falls. If he gets past the Chargers
Speaker 1: at pick twenty two. There isn't another team that needs
Speaker 1: tight end, particularly the Rams do somewhat until you get
Speaker 1: to thirty one and thirty two, and now we're talking
Speaker 1: Chiefs and Eagles, both of with older, very successful tight ends,
Speaker 1: offenses that need a good tight end and need to
Speaker 1: do succession planning. Whether it's Travis Kelcey or Dallas Goddard.
Speaker 1: Colson Lovelin could fall to either one of those two
Speaker 1: at thirty one and thirty two, and that would have
Speaker 1: massive dynasty implications. Again, not so much for this year
Speaker 1: with established starters there, but really beginning next year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the Eagles have Dallas Goddard firmly on
Speaker 3: the trade.
Speaker 1: Block too, probably thirty years old.
Speaker 3: I would think that Howie Roseman would try to move
Speaker 3: him if they could, so I think that that makes
Speaker 3: a lot of sense if he falls all the way
Speaker 3: to the end of the first.
Speaker 1: And even if they don't move Goddard this year, it
Speaker 1: would be if they just passed the baton by next Well, that's.
Speaker 3: What they did with zach Ertz, right, Yeah, zach Ertz
Speaker 3: was a fantastic tight end, and they drafted Dallas Goddard
Speaker 3: in the first round.
Speaker 1: Right was it first round for Goddard or.
Speaker 3: Maybe early second, but he was early. I know that.
Speaker 1: Let's take a break. When we come back, we've got
Speaker 1: six more guys to get through. We'll talk through perfect
Speaker 1: landing spots, dark horse landing spots for the ten players
Speaker 1: we believe are going to go in the first round,
Speaker 1: plus Travis Hunter, who's got his own special case. We'll
Speaker 1: talk him through as well. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.
Speaker 1: We are enjoying some old forest or whiskey.
Speaker 3: Yeah side. I mean, it reminds me the.
Speaker 1: Old days of our old fantasy football almost daily when
Speaker 1: we had when we were we had whiskey tastings.
Speaker 3: And whiskey Wednesday, Whiskey Wednesday. You know, Church, I think
Speaker 3: that every time I come over here to do a
Speaker 3: podcast now for these off season shows, we're drinking whiskey.
Speaker 3: So you probably should demand to have me more often
Speaker 3: so I get more whiskey.
Speaker 1: I can't possibly drink whiskey without you, That's true.
Speaker 3: I'm looking into your pantry right now, and it's a
Speaker 3: it's a really nice little collection.
Speaker 1: It is a nice I've really gone towards quality over quantity,
Speaker 1: I mean, and that makes sense. I feel pretty good
Speaker 1: about that. Old You don't have just a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of winsor Canadian old red Reserve is if you can,
Speaker 1: if you're in the Twin cit you're in Minnesota. Old
Speaker 1: Red Reserve is still in some stores. You can still
Speaker 1: find it sometimes. That's my hand picked whiskey that I
Speaker 1: did with a my friend Chad Greenway through a Gray
Speaker 1: Duck Spirits. Highly recommend. It's fantastic Red Reserve. Thank you.
Speaker 1: It's really it is. It's delicious. I got to hand
Speaker 1: choose that and it's fantastic. Take a look for it
Speaker 1: if you're anywhere near the Minnesota area. Okay, let's get
Speaker 1: back to the ten players we believe will go in
Speaker 1: or near the first round and talk about their landing spots,
Speaker 1: including among the fastest and maybe the fastest wide receiver
Speaker 1: in this draft, Matthew Golden. He ran a four to
Speaker 1: two nine. But he's not just a cheap speed run,
Speaker 1: straight run, fast guy.
Speaker 3: He's not Troy Williamson.
Speaker 1: He's not He's not Troy. We're still wounded here in
Speaker 1: Minnesota from that.
Speaker 3: What, Yes, Matthew Golden like this whiskey right here? Yeah,
Speaker 3: it is probable landing spot right now. His over under
Speaker 3: was pick seventeen and a half and the under is
Speaker 3: currently favored at minus one forty.
Speaker 1: The tricky part about that landing spot, so seventeen is Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: They don't need a receive they don't, but most of
Speaker 1: the teams above them also don't need a receiver. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Arizona just one receiver, Atlanta took Drake London recently, Indianapolis
Speaker 1: probably not. Miami doesn't need a receiver unless they're really
Speaker 1: going to move on from Tyreek Hill. So I don't
Speaker 1: I think I think I'd rather be I think it's
Speaker 1: going to go on the other side of seventeen For
Speaker 1: Matthew Golden.
Speaker 3: I will be in Iowa tomorrow and I will probably
Speaker 3: place a few NFL Draft bats, and if it's still
Speaker 3: at seventeen and a half, I'm going to hit the
Speaker 3: over on Matthew Golden. But I do think the most
Speaker 3: probable spot is pick eighteen, and that's the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 3: And we talked a little bit about Seattle before. If
Speaker 3: you trade away a star receiver, usually like when we
Speaker 3: traded Randy Moss here in Minnesota, you go get a
Speaker 3: Troy Williamson as is a replacement, or a Stefan Diggs
Speaker 3: to Justin Jefferson, which worked out a little bit. They
Speaker 3: do have JSN and Cooper Cup and Seattle. But Cup
Speaker 3: might be cooked and he's probably just the slot guy.
Speaker 3: I don't know they got JSN and Cup. They're both
Speaker 3: kind of slot guys. It'll be interesting to see how.
Speaker 1: This work signing was. It was a bad signing. It
Speaker 1: was really expensive and just exact and kind of weird. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't get it.
Speaker 3: Feasibly, the Seattle front office could go to the fans
Speaker 3: and say we went from Metcalf, JSN and Locket to JSN,
Speaker 3: Cup and Matthew Golden, and that's easy to sell as
Speaker 3: a massive improvement. Right there, pie in the sky, what
Speaker 3: if he just drops? And I think that there's a
Speaker 3: good chance that he might just drop, and he's sitting
Speaker 3: there for Buffalo at pick number thirty. And I know
Speaker 3: that we all like Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman.
Speaker 1: But Coleman didn't show as much as I wanted him to.
Speaker 3: I think that we just we just like him on
Speaker 3: a per arsenal level because he's a very likable guy.
Speaker 1: He missed a bunch of time, and I like six weeks,
Speaker 1: so I appreciate that that he didn't get like a
Speaker 1: full rookie year. But I still thought the fact that
Speaker 1: he couldn't get on the field over guys like Amari
Speaker 1: Cooper as much as I wanted was disappointing for Coleman.
Speaker 3: Well, and just think about putting like a good weapon
Speaker 3: on the field for prime Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that too, Like, don't you think that you need to.
Speaker 3: Do that for Josh Allen? Right now? The time is
Speaker 3: now for the Buffalo Bills, right, it's a no brainer.
Speaker 3: If he falls to thirty, Buffalo could seemingly make a
Speaker 3: move up to say to you know, like pick twenty
Speaker 3: four if he were to fall in front of the
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings there who are probably looking to add some
Speaker 3: draft picks after having only four in this draft right now.
Speaker 1: And that would put him right ahead of Houston. That
Speaker 1: is a potential wide receiver target.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, the dark horse, and this one's dark. What
Speaker 3: if the Panthers take it?
Speaker 1: How dark is it? The pain the Panthers an eight?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the Panthers have wow, luxurious black fur.
Speaker 1: That's out dark.
Speaker 3: What if Ted McMillan goes in the top seven, or
Speaker 3: what if the Panthers just have a higher grade on
Speaker 3: Matthew Golden and they've got Adam Thielen, Xavier Lagette and
Speaker 3: Jalen Cocher. Flan's not going to be there for very long,
Speaker 3: and I don't know if Lagett and Cocer are any
Speaker 3: good for real. The Panthers might be looking for that
Speaker 3: perfect wide receiver match still for Bryce Young.
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I don't you framed it up as
Speaker 1: a dark horse pick, and it is a dark It's
Speaker 1: a legitimate need for Carolina for sure.
Speaker 3: It's a dark cat pick.
Speaker 1: Oh. I like it dark cat better because so many
Speaker 1: players after Travis Hunter and a dual Carter Great out
Speaker 1: almost identically. There's going to be stuff that happens just
Speaker 1: like that, where Matthew Golden, you know, could be anywhere
Speaker 1: in the next twenty picks, including up to eight. It's
Speaker 1: not impossible, so he could go anywhere from eight to thirty.
Speaker 1: That what we're saying. Yes, that's really broad. I don't
Speaker 1: think you're gonna get it wrong.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I will try to bet him between
Speaker 3: eight and thirty.
Speaker 1: You'll get a great return on that. Omarion Hampton is
Speaker 1: a North Carolina running back who is a North South
Speaker 1: drop the hammer banger and he can catch. He has
Speaker 1: he had really lousy blocking for most of his time
Speaker 1: at North Carolina didn't matter. He turns negative plays into
Speaker 1: positive plays. He posted at least sixty seven missed tackles
Speaker 1: in each of the last two seasons. He averaged four
Speaker 1: almost four and a half yards after contact. He broke
Speaker 1: at least one tackle on a majority of his forty
Speaker 1: five carries of ten or more yards last year. Hampton
Speaker 1: is going is by most everybody believed to be the
Speaker 1: second best running back in this draft class. So where
Speaker 1: does he go? Almost everybody has got him mocked to
Speaker 1: Denver at twenty and it makes sense.
Speaker 3: Okay, Denver Ne's the.
Speaker 1: Most running back help but evan any team in the
Speaker 1: league and it's not close. So it makes total sense
Speaker 1: that Marion Hampton could be at Denver. And I'm not
Speaker 1: even gonna argue that part. No team drafting from pick
Speaker 1: three thirteen to nineteen needs a running back, so nobody
Speaker 1: from nineteen to thirteen to nineteen's taken a runner. So
Speaker 1: it just it all lines up for Denver. And I
Speaker 1: feel as confident about Omarion Hampton landing in Denver as
Speaker 1: I do any player in the second half of the
Speaker 1: first round ending anywhere. But If it doesn't go there,
Speaker 1: the perfect spot would be Washington twenty nine. Yep. You know,
Speaker 1: longtime FFW listeners, you know that. I think Brian Robinson
Speaker 1: is just a guy. Austin Eckler is a role player
Speaker 1: as a pass catcher and a change of pace guy.
Speaker 1: I would love to see Omarion Hampton fall to twenty
Speaker 1: nine for Washington. It's possible it could happen. In this
Speaker 1: deep running back draft, a lot of teams that need
Speaker 1: running back could wait. He could fall to Washington at
Speaker 1: twenty nine and join one of the better, young, most
Speaker 1: exciting offenses in the league, and your dark horse team
Speaker 1: to take Omarion Hampton Chargers.
Speaker 3: Yep, they Chargers are gonna take somebody.
Speaker 1: They're gonna right, we want them to go offense. Apparently, Yes,
Speaker 1: they signed Najie Harris, But is Harris the ultimate workhorse
Speaker 1: back that you know Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman want
Speaker 1: to have. Uh, he is not the final solution workhorse back.
Speaker 3: You know what the Chargers are gonna do. They're gonna
Speaker 3: go trenches again again. That's what they're going to do.
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. We'll find out, but it wouldn't
Speaker 1: surprise anybody, right, No, you never have enough good linemen. Yep,
Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Shadur Sanders. Matt this is
Speaker 1: a player we've seen mocked as high as two and
Speaker 1: as and and as low as the mid twenties with
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at twenty one seems to be the range.
Speaker 3: So a few mocks where he's falling out of the
Speaker 3: first round too. So I think that Chadur in the
Speaker 3: black and metallic gold, stays in the black and Metallic
Speaker 3: Gold and goes to the Saints at number nine. They're
Speaker 3: the current favorite plus one ninety five to take Sanders.
Speaker 3: I think it's most likely it's Derek Carbage time right now.
Speaker 3: He suddenly injured in April with some weird shoulder injury
Speaker 3: that just is announced like right before the draft. What
Speaker 3: a weird thing to drop right before the draft.
Speaker 1: That is suspicious.
Speaker 3: So and plus he hasn't been good. The Saints just
Speaker 3: hired Kellen Metter to be their coach. He's gonna want
Speaker 3: to play making quarterback like you had in Philly last year.
Speaker 3: A Jalen Hurts or Dallas with Dak Prescott before it
Speaker 3: might be the only chance the Saints have to be
Speaker 3: relevant in the league this year, and if they want
Speaker 3: to make some sort of splash, I think they have
Speaker 3: to take a quarterback, and I think he's gonna go
Speaker 3: at nine. The only way the Saints don't get him
Speaker 3: is if my Pie and the Sky team jumps the
Speaker 3: Saints oh and takes Shadure Sanders at number eight, and
Speaker 3: it's another Black and Gold team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. I
Speaker 3: think that this trade would make a lot of sense
Speaker 3: for the Panthers, by the way, because the Panthers at
Speaker 3: eight get to keep Shaduur Sanders out of the division
Speaker 3: and they get to, you know, a trade up from
Speaker 3: twenty one to eight that's gonna give them some expertise.
Speaker 3: So the Steelers could tell Aaron Rodgers Cyinara though, and
Speaker 3: Shadur comes to the team with George Pickens, DK Metcalf
Speaker 3: and a similarly below average offensive line, which Schadur already
Speaker 3: dealt with in Colorado. So I think that that one,
Speaker 3: while it's while it's a good landing spot for him,
Speaker 3: I think it makes sense in a lot of ways too.
Speaker 1: The dark horse here for Shador Sanders.
Speaker 3: For Shadeur Sanders, the Tennessee Titans yes, that's right.
Speaker 1: What do you mean they're not taking him at one.
Speaker 3: No, they're not gonna take him at one. But if
Speaker 3: they get the Godfather offer for number one, h and
Speaker 3: they're not in love with cam Ward because like we've
Speaker 3: kind of talked about, he was a fourth or fifth
Speaker 3: round pick comp last year. Yeah, and might have been
Speaker 3: the sixth or seventh quarterback off the board last year,
Speaker 3: they might not be totally in love with them. And
Speaker 3: maybe the Giants call and say, we're gonna move from
Speaker 3: three to one and we're gonna give you our first
Speaker 3: next year.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And so okay, the Titans move down to three and
Speaker 3: they're all set to take Abdul Carter, Travis Hunter, and
Speaker 3: that's a pretty good spot for them to be in.
Speaker 3: But what if all of a sudden the Raiders call
Speaker 3: and say, hey, we're gonna move from six to three
Speaker 3: and the Titans gain another first round pick in which
Speaker 3: they maybe they can, and all of a sudden they're
Speaker 3: sitting there with the Giants and Raiders first round picks
Speaker 3: next year, Oh my gosh. And then suddenly they're sitting
Speaker 3: at six and they've made up huge haul of future picks.
Speaker 3: It's probably not gonna happen. But Shador Sanders at six
Speaker 3: to the Titans. You're if you're the GM of the
Speaker 3: Titans and you walk away doing.
Speaker 1: That, Yeah, with two more first round picks.
Speaker 3: It's like cheers to you, man, you did it, all right.
Speaker 1: It's it's highly implausible, but this was the dark horse. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, if it works out exactly the way you
Speaker 1: said it, Yeah, they go three to six. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: play this back. We're gonna play this back, play it
Speaker 1: back every every show for a year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be like the John Tuv call of who was.
Speaker 1: It that would be the Detroit Lion wide receiver, the
Speaker 1: take a chance on me.
Speaker 3: We're he was a Bengal at the time.
Speaker 1: You're right, a turn Lion, Bengal turned Lion.
Speaker 3: Ah take a chance on me, called out.
Speaker 1: He had a four touchdown. Take a chance on me.
Speaker 1: I can't remember.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be that guy.
Speaker 1: The receiver was in the league forever too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we should know it's gonna come to me.
Speaker 1: Amika, you'll look it up on Amika Abuka. This is
Speaker 1: the Ohio State slot receiver. Pure slot receiver, which is
Speaker 1: really important when you're trying to when you're trying to
Speaker 1: line up where he might go. Thorist comp on him
Speaker 1: was Jackson Smith and Jigbup. He's Marvin Jones, Jones, I was,
Speaker 1: I was, I was, I was at the Marvi it
Speaker 1: was Marvin Jones.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, absolutely only.
Speaker 1: A five percent drop rate. He's super slippery. Some people
Speaker 1: quibble about how much he was helped by the totality
Speaker 1: of the awesome Ohio State offense because he rarely got
Speaker 1: double coverage, and yes, but nevertheless there's a lot out
Speaker 1: of the belief is that Amika Egbuka will go late
Speaker 1: first round, early second round. So let's look at some
Speaker 1: possible spots for him. I want to start with pick
Speaker 1: twenty seven, Baltimore. So Baltimore's got Za Flowers. He plays
Speaker 1: the left side, the right side in the slot roughly evenly,
Speaker 1: not a pure slot guy. They also overshot Bateman, who
Speaker 1: never plays the slot, so they could bring in Egbuka
Speaker 1: and make him an immediate slot receiver on every down.
Speaker 1: That's got three receivers on the field, and the.
Speaker 3: Ravens feel like a team that's like looking at their
Speaker 3: window and going, we got a year, we got two years.
Speaker 3: We need to add guys that help us get over
Speaker 3: the humprun.
Speaker 1: I think he would be that guy. They could really
Speaker 1: use a pure slot receiver. So if I had to
Speaker 1: pick a spot right now, it would be Baltimore pick
Speaker 1: number twenty seven for Amika Egbuka. Then my pie in
Speaker 1: the sky is this pick twenty six the Rams. He
Speaker 1: would walk into the Cooper Cup role. Here's Sean McVay
Speaker 1: who schemed open to his slot receiver, Cooper Cup for years,
Speaker 1: and now you get a young slot receiver many believe
Speaker 1: the best slot receiver in this draft, and you get
Speaker 1: to pair him with Sean McVay.
Speaker 3: Oh baby, I like that. You're pie in the sky
Speaker 3: team as it picked twenty six and the probable seven.
Speaker 1: You're just sitting there. Yes, it's a one pick later.
Speaker 1: I just think the Rams have more varied needs than receiver,
Speaker 1: but that Baltimore does. But you're right, there's not a
Speaker 1: big distinction there, all right, my dark horse team, And
Speaker 1: I think this also makes a ton of sense. Pick
Speaker 1: thirty two Philadelphia, So they've got two hour up primarily
Speaker 1: outside receivers AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, and then it just
Speaker 1: falls off a cliff John Dotson. Last year that trade
Speaker 1: yielded them I don't know, like twenty receptions all year, Man,
Speaker 1: that team desperately needs a third wide receiver.
Speaker 3: They've tied up so much capital into the wide receiver position.
Speaker 3: With DeVonta Smith just signing a big contract, d aj
Speaker 3: Brown's making a lot of money with.
Speaker 1: This kid's on his rookie deal. I know it's not expensive.
Speaker 1: At pick thirty two.
Speaker 3: Man, I think that that one, that one's the darkest
Speaker 3: of horses.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's I don't think it's unrealistic.
Speaker 3: I think that's more unrealistic than Shadure going to the
Speaker 3: Titans at six.
Speaker 1: No, no, it is not that is you are crazy.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Travon Henderson while we're talking
Speaker 1: about Ohio State guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Henderson could go anywhere from the mid first round
Speaker 3: as RB two off the board to the mid second
Speaker 3: round as a possible fifth or sixth running back, which
Speaker 3: means we're looking at late first, early second. The most
Speaker 3: likely outcome in my mind is the Bears with one
Speaker 3: of their two early second round picks picks thirty nine
Speaker 3: and forty one, thor has him compeded Clinton Portis That
Speaker 3: seems pretty similar to like a David Montgomery style runner.
Speaker 1: To me, I think Montgomery. Well, I'm older, remember Clinton Portis.
Speaker 1: Montgomery's more of a straight ahead banger than Portos, but
Speaker 1: there is some complimentary skills set there.
Speaker 3: But I think that either way, getting a one A
Speaker 3: in your running back offense and the Ben Johnson offense
Speaker 3: is probably probable. Here Pie and the Sky the Bears
Speaker 3: are about as good an option as there is. But
Speaker 3: if Henderson lasts into the early second round, any of
Speaker 3: the top three teams in the second round would probably
Speaker 3: have him slot in as their Day one starter. Cleveland
Speaker 3: at thirty three I talked a little bit about before
Speaker 3: with genty. The Giants have Tyrone Tracy, but he faded
Speaker 3: down the stretch, and the Titans at thirty five have
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard and TYJ Spears. Neither of those guys seems
Speaker 3: like a shoe in for two hundred touches next year.
Speaker 3: My official answer is Cleveland because I think whatever running
Speaker 3: back ends up in Cleveland, I think he's gonna have
Speaker 3: the most success and have the best chance of being
Speaker 3: a Belcow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Cleveland obviously is I think Cleveland and
Speaker 1: Denver the two teams most desperate for help at the
Speaker 1: running back position.
Speaker 3: All right, and my dark horse. Yes, I wanted to
Speaker 3: say the Chiefs, but I'm not gonna say the Chiefs
Speaker 3: because that's two easy.
Speaker 1: It's not dark enough.
Speaker 3: For not dark enough, the San Francisco forty nine ers
Speaker 3: is dark horse, and it's gonna get darker. Charge You're
Speaker 3: gonna get real dark for Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1: You're gonna give Christian McCaffrey the leprosy. How dark is
Speaker 1: this gonna turn?
Speaker 3: I think Christian McCaffrey might be a slot wide receiver
Speaker 3: by this time next year. Christian McCaffrey came into last
Speaker 3: season hurt. He never looked right. Guess what you can't
Speaker 3: do to an aging playmaker like that. You can't give
Speaker 3: him twenty five touches a game.
Speaker 1: But I can convert him to slot receiver.
Speaker 3: You can convert him to the D Bowl roll. You
Speaker 3: could give him five to eight rushes a game and
Speaker 3: have him split into the slot a ton of time
Speaker 3: and just be looking for chunksy yardage here and there,
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden you have Traveon Henderson
Speaker 3: to take twenty carries and run straight ahead with that
Speaker 3: four to four speed, in that four to three gpa.
Speaker 3: I think that this is kind of a no brainer
Speaker 3: for the forty.
Speaker 1: Nine ers point average into this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. College GPA of four to three is no
Speaker 3: laughing matter. Oh that's good, that's pretty awesome.
Speaker 1: I thought four was as high as you could go.
Speaker 1: You get a pluses in there, you can get a pluses.
Speaker 3: And and his mom paid him one hundred dollars for
Speaker 3: every uh a honor roll grade that he got.
Speaker 1: I've always wondered about whether or not you should do
Speaker 1: that as a parent. I do pay for good grade.
Speaker 3: I do that for my kids. But here's here's my rule.
Speaker 3: It's four point oh for four hondo oh, I like it.
Speaker 3: You have to get a four point oh, not a
Speaker 3: three point nine. Yeah, but if you get the four
Speaker 3: point oh, you get four hundred dollars. Okay, and I've
Speaker 3: paid it out once in fortune. Okay.
Speaker 1: One question.
Speaker 3: That's not bad.
Speaker 1: It's that's hard. It's hard to do. That is hard
Speaker 1: to do. How many four point ohs did you get?
Speaker 3: I think two or three in high school?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, not very many. It's pretty tough. It is
Speaker 1: pretty tough. That is pretty tough. And does four undred
Speaker 1: dollars even motivate kids anymore? Yeatlation everything okay, all right.
Speaker 3: Okay, good and and also alliteration of four you can
Speaker 3: chant it and all that stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when your kid's taking the test, are you outside
Speaker 1: the room chanting it?
Speaker 3: You know it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that wouldn't be weird at all that my dad's
Speaker 1: outside chanting all right. Our last player before we do,
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter is our bonus at the end.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Caleb Johnson is the Iowa running back who basically was
Speaker 1: the entire offense because they could not pass at all.
Speaker 1: They were great dead defensively, and then they had Caleb Johnson.
Speaker 1: He is the best power back, pure power back in
Speaker 1: this draft. Six foot tall, two hundred and twenty five pounds.
Speaker 1: He averaged six and a half yards per carry between
Speaker 1: the guards. He's got, really, he's got. He doesn't have
Speaker 1: the footwork of a big man. He's got the great footwork.
Speaker 3: And the footwork got a small man.
Speaker 1: I'm a small man. How much smaller man he's uh,
Speaker 1: he's He reminds me of Le'Veon Bell when they do
Speaker 1: stretch his own plays where he's patient. He's patient, he's patient.
Speaker 1: Then he cuts and plants one foot and now here
Speaker 1: comes this load downfield. He's just I if Caleb Johnson
Speaker 1: gets into the right spot, he's looking at ten touchdown
Speaker 1: seasons for many years because he is built for goal
Speaker 1: line use and he is he's a true workhorse. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for this guy. A lot of the
Speaker 1: Landing Spot conversations the same with Trevion Henderson because we're
Speaker 1: talking about teams that need running backs.
Speaker 3: I've got a bonus one for you because I know,
Speaker 3: I know I have to. I have a feeling I
Speaker 3: know who you're gonna mention it.
Speaker 1: Okay, you mentioned yours first, All right, Well, Chicago picked
Speaker 1: thirty eight to me, to me, I think they go
Speaker 1: offensive line at pick at pick ten, and then with
Speaker 1: the offensive line help, they go running back, so that
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson has got his new, his new you know,
Speaker 1: his new Jamier Gibbs.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Differently, I think it's a given. I think that
Speaker 3: at thirty nine or forty one, if the Bears don't trade,
Speaker 3: they will get a running back at one of the
Speaker 3: great picks.
Speaker 1: Agreed, Then I already mentioned Washington picked twenty nine in
Speaker 1: business for a running back that would really help take
Speaker 1: some pressure off of their young, exciting quarterback Jaydon Daniels
Speaker 1: and then the dark horse team for me, and I
Speaker 1: guess it's not that dark because you already talked about Cleveland.
Speaker 1: To pick thirty three is not even really a dark horse.
Speaker 1: They need a running back. They Nick Chubb's gone. He's
Speaker 1: a free agent, by the way, nob he's got Nick Chubb, right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And here's a bonus team for you. Give it to me.
Speaker 3: Why not the Houston Texans at twenty five.
Speaker 1: I love it because I think Joe Mixon's cooked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looked good for like about six games, and
Speaker 3: then he looked.
Speaker 1: Terrible in Their whole offensive line look terrible too. But yes,
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that I think that that's kind of
Speaker 3: a dark horse there. K Caleber, another runner might go
Speaker 3: at twenty five to the Texans.
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. I worry the Texans
Speaker 1: don't see it that way, but that's how I see it.
Speaker 3: I heard they might like Mixon more than we like Mixing.
Speaker 1: I think that's the case it could be. Let's talk
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter. On Thursday, Browns general manager Andrew Berry said
Speaker 1: he sees Travis Hunter is a wide receiver first and
Speaker 1: a quarterback second.
Speaker 3: That's telling that's.
Speaker 1: That would change. That would change the out look a lot.
Speaker 1: If you knew he was gonna play almost every snap
Speaker 1: at wide receiver and only some snaps at cornerback. That
Speaker 1: really changes all of the the all of the ways
Speaker 1: that you would be looking at Travis Hunter where you
Speaker 1: draft him, especially in dynas.
Speaker 3: So the Browns are for sure taking Abdull Carter then yeah, right,
Speaker 3: maybe yeah, I trying to tock him up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that's it. Maybe that's it. I I'm fascinated
Speaker 1: by Hunter. Where I think you wouldn't want to take
Speaker 1: Hunter is in a guillotine league, Oh, because sometimes he's
Speaker 1: not gonna be on the field enough.
Speaker 3: Are you gonna start putting production cornerback points into guillotine League?
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't have me. I t PDP guillotine League.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Hunter's gonna be really really interesting, right if to see
Speaker 1: where he goes and how much how much he gets
Speaker 1: used offensively, And we won't know the answer to that
Speaker 1: until probably week one or into the season. This is
Speaker 1: gonna be one of the biggest speculation talking points. Are
Speaker 1: gonna have all preseason?
Speaker 3: Uh, charge, I don't play IDP at all? Do you
Speaker 3: play IDP?
Speaker 1: I haven't in about twelve years.
Speaker 3: I'm interested to see how they treat Travis Hunter and
Speaker 3: if they have to treat him like Baseball treated show
Speaker 3: high time art and have an offensive and a defensive
Speaker 3: version of Travis Hunter. Yes, because if he's playing both,
Speaker 3: and he's playing both at a high level, he breaks
Speaker 3: the game, right because all of a sudden, you're getting
Speaker 3: double points. You're getting double points off everybody, and then
Speaker 3: they'd be kind of the number one overall pick.
Speaker 1: And well unless and this is this is going really deep.
Speaker 1: But if he's so, if you are absolutely awesome at cornerback,
Speaker 1: like Dean Sanders was, Dean Sanders never racked up any
Speaker 1: points because nobody threw at him and he didn't tackle.
Speaker 1: Dean Sanders was a Hall of Fame grade Is he
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame Hall of Fame grade cornerback?
Speaker 1: But he never racked up stats. Nobody threw on his
Speaker 1: side of the field.
Speaker 3: He just scored touchdowns that they did, right. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: think it would be interesting to see, even in standard
Speaker 3: fantasy leagues that still use team defenses, how do you
Speaker 3: treat Travis Hunter in those situations? If you have Travis
Speaker 3: Hunter as a wide receiver on your team. Are you
Speaker 3: getting credit for his his defensive scores? Can't?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, that's that part is a that's it's something
Speaker 1: every league's gonna have to deal with and get codified
Speaker 1: in the rules. And if you draft the wide receiver
Speaker 1: and he gets a pick six and as a cornerback,
Speaker 1: are you getting those points?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have just the important thing you should decide
Speaker 1: at a time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now in dynasty, right now, Travis Hunter is going to
Speaker 1: pick six in re in rookie dynasty drafts. That's pick six.
Speaker 3: That seems insane to me. I think he's gonna end
Speaker 3: up as a corner more often because it's so hard
Speaker 3: to find shut down corners in this league and they're
Speaker 3: worth so much, and there's so many good wide receivers. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we might have the deepest wide receiver pool in the
Speaker 3: league ever right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but not in this draft class. Yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be. I can't wait to see how it plays
Speaker 1: out for him. And again, it'll be all speculation until
Speaker 1: week one, and even then it might change by week
Speaker 1: eight or week twelve, and you know who knows. I
Speaker 1: believe it'll be it'll be Cleveland that takes me.
Speaker 3: You think it's gonna be Cleveland. I would like to
Speaker 3: think that we have some trade Shenanigans because I love
Speaker 3: trades in the NFL Draft. I hope it's the Patriots
Speaker 3: trading up, oh God, to get him. I think that
Speaker 3: that would be more fun. I know that you love
Speaker 3: Drake May.
Speaker 1: I love Drake.
Speaker 3: I would love to see Travis Hunter paired with Drake May.
Speaker 3: And gosh, if the Patriots could trade from four to
Speaker 3: two and take him, they solve a lot of things.
Speaker 3: And it seems like a Mike Rabel kind of move,
Speaker 3: doesn't it.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, I think Mike Rabel.
Speaker 1: I think of Derrick Henry rumbling down the you know,
Speaker 1: the middle of the building. Stuff you could take. You
Speaker 1: could take him as a defensive player. And also, oh,
Speaker 1: we didn't really help our our.
Speaker 3: Quarterback very much.
Speaker 1: Thing to help. They did nothing to help Drake May
Speaker 1: this offseason. Yeah, it's so dumb Patriots.
Speaker 3: I don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 1: I mean, Drake May, God love him. The dude was
Speaker 1: getting murdered every play last year, no help from that
Speaker 1: horrible offensive line. They added Stephan Diggs and the one
Speaker 1: is one leg. Come on, Patriots and it's not even
Speaker 1: a guaranteed contract if he doesn't pass the physical right,
Speaker 1: so they might not have added Stephan Diggs. I don't
Speaker 1: know what they're doing there. Thank you, Matt. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: has been a ton of fun. Thanks for listening, everybody.
Speaker 1: We'll be back next week on Friday, the day after
Speaker 1: the first round, and we'll thorough join us good carved
Speaker 1: already carved out our time with Thor in a very
Speaker 1: busy day for him. Next week and we'll recap all
Speaker 1: of the fantasy relevant first round picks.
Speaker 3: I'm excited.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll talk to you then, everybody. Bye bye. Fantasy
