Sean, 14 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: what's going on? 15 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 2: What's up? 16 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, still recovering from our New York trip. But how 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 3: to bloss with everybody and hope you're doing good? 18 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, man, been been traveling a lot this uh this summer, 19 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: just kind of going back and forth Denver, York, all 20 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: these different places in Hawaii. Was in Arizona for the 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So I feel like I'm getting running the 22 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: gamut of domesic. You went to Spain though, So, yeah, 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: you got out of the country. You're a smart one. 24 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, do you have anything else planned before the season starts? 25 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: No, But that doesn't usually stop me because I'm a 26 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: very last minute traveler. I'm not into logistics, so I 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: just kind of it's like, oh, we got a few 28 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: couple of days, let's just go somewhere. Like I don't 29 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: mind picking up and going, uh anywhere. But I'm also 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 1: I just hate logistics, so that's like I'm personally never 31 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: quite I'm not gonna be the one. Yeah, I make 32 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: these like big plans ahead. That's just that's just not me. 33 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: But uh yeah. We're gonna talk through the top twelve 34 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: wide receivers in this episode and then we'll have two 35 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: more wide receiver focused episodes. But Mike to kind of 36 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: talk through, you know, these guys in terms of ADP, 37 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: you know, you know, is that where they should be 38 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: going or is it too high too low? And just 39 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: anything else that could kind of help people in terms 40 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: of how they're looking at these guys as they approach 41 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: of their draft. So let's start right away with Justin Jefferson, 42 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: the wide receiver one, the number one overall pick. Is 43 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: that justified it should Justin Jefferson be number one or 44 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: is there you know, do you think people should be 45 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: looking at like a running a different position number one? 46 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 3: No, I think Justin Jefferson should be the first or 47 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 3: overall pick, although it's not a slam dunk like I 48 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: think you could argue for like a McCaffrey here even Yeah, 49 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 3: like like we said on the tight End episode, Travis Kelcey, 50 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 3: I mean, he's earned that right, but I would go 51 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 3: with Justin Jefferson. You know, ninety percent of the draft 52 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 3: if I had the first pick, and there's really nothing 53 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 3: left to say with them. I mean, he's had a 54 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 3: historic start to his career. He has, you know, the 55 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 3: most receptions and receiving yards after the first three seasons 56 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: of his career. Now, granted, you know he's had the 57 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 3: extra game, but either way, you know, he's been one 58 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 3: of the best receivers of all time in his first 59 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 3: three seasons. So he deserves to be the number one 60 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 3: overall pick. Just because wide receivers are a little less 61 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: fragile than running backs. You know, you can get running 62 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: back one late in the draft picking them up off 63 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: the waiver wire. You can't really do that with wide 64 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 3: receiver it's very rare. So I do like to lock 65 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 3: in you know, high end wide receiver value early in 66 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 3: my drafts and then just feel confident, especially you know 67 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 3: in read draft leagues, being able to kind of get 68 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 3: like a high upside backup or play the waiver wire. 69 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 3: That's just something that's the luxury you don't have at receivers. 70 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: So just having said that, that's that's why Jefferson should 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: be the number one overall pick in most formats. 72 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this guy, he might not be done 73 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: setting records and you know, yeah with like Adam Deeven, 74 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: god like, I know, you know a lot of people, 75 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: I know you you like Jordan Addison, but you know 76 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: there's still a chance that just more falls on on 77 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: the plate of Justin Jefferson. So, uh, with the way 78 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: receiver is it kind of sets up this year, I 79 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: see a drop off earlier in that, you know, as 80 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: you're kind of going wide receiver two to wide receiver three, 81 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: there's just there's a lot of guys that could also 82 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: fall out of that range and then there's I would 83 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: say a big drop off. You know, once you get 84 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: outside that wide receiver three, it's hard to get it's 85 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: hard to get four quality wide receivers on your team. 86 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: So I think if you, if you do draft Justin 87 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: Jefferson first overall, you're in good position to do so. 88 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: And I personally feel a lot more comfortable waiting at 89 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: a position like running back. But we're getting just you know, 90 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: one running back in the first five six rounds. I 91 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: like the value at running back two and running back 92 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: three this year a lot more than I like it. 93 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: You know, as we go down the board at wide receiver, 94 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: so I think you know that that extends to the top. 95 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: But beyond that, Justin Jefferson is just an amazing, an 96 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 1: amazing football player. Uh you know, could he be challenged 97 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: by a guy like Jamar Chase maybe, Cooper cup maybe, 98 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: but you know Cuples a year older, is coming off injuries. 99 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: You know, Chase is amazing too, but Jefferson has been 100 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: even better. So yeah, Jefferson, for my money, he should 101 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: be the first pick, and he should be the first 102 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: overall pick because, like you mentioned, wide receivers just less 103 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,239 Speaker 1: fragulant running backs. You expect them to miss a fewer games, 104 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: and we've seen that with Justin. Jefferson specifically is in 105 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: his career. He's been extremely durable, played every single game 106 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: in his career that potentially he could suit it up for. 107 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: So Number two is Jamar Chase. And I think the 108 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: question there is no how much of a gap is 109 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: there between Chase and a guy like Jefferson? And does 110 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: that invite you to then look at a guy like 111 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: Kelsey or look at a guy like McCaffrey over Chase, 112 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: or do you think Chase should still be that second overall? 113 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I have Chase as my second overall value, just 114 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 3: because when you think about Jamar Chase, the sky is 115 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: still the limit with him. You know, he's entering year 116 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 3: three and he's paired with the quarterback who's still entering 117 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 3: his prime as well in Joe Burrow, and you know, 118 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 3: one of the better quarterbacks in the game, and he's 119 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 3: to have already had you know, years of experience in 120 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: college with each other. So this is still a situation 121 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 3: you know, I want to invest in. You know, they 122 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: did change up Chase's role a bit last year. You know, 123 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 3: his a dot fell three yards last season to you know, 124 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 3: closer at nine and a half, so that allowed him 125 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 3: to see more high percentage targets and just helped give 126 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 3: him a high weekly floor, and he still has that 127 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 3: massive upside as well, So I think that's actually helped 128 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 3: him out long term and he's gonna make him more consistent. 129 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 3: So yeah, if if I have the second overall pick 130 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 3: and Justin Jefferson is off the board right now, I'm 131 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: taking Jamar Chase. 132 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, Chase. I think, you know, Cooper Cup has the 133 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: upside to finish higher than Chase. You know Tyre Kill 134 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: as well. But yeah, just because I love the town enough, 135 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: I think the floor is high enough that out you 136 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: can because again, you do not want to lose your draft. 137 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: You can't win your draft in these first few rounds, 138 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: but you can lose it because all these guys are 139 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: gonna have you know, high ceilings, high medians, high floors 140 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: for the most part. Maybe the you know, maybe you 141 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: would argue that a guy like Cup has a could 142 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: have a higher floor, but he's coming off an injury, 143 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: and I still think the ceiling for Chase. I think 144 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: the floors are all similar enough. That's the ceiling for Chase. Still, 145 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: he still hasn't scratched the surface whereas Cup probably has. 146 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: But you know, he is the wide receiver three. But 147 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: you know, he is thirty now, so that's I think 148 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: the difference. Whereas Jamar Chase still entering his prime, it's 149 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: gonna be his age twenty three season, It's gonna be 150 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: Cup's age thirty season. So do you you know he's 151 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: the wide receiver three? Is Cup? Do you have him 152 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: at wide receiver three? Do you like Tyreek Hill more? 153 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: Or what are you doing with Cup? 154 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: Yeah? No, I have I have Cup as the wide 155 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 2: receiver three. 156 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: You know last year he had that season ending ankle 157 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 3: in Week ten, but up to that point, he was 158 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 3: wide receiver one and points per game, So he's still 159 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 3: got it. You know, he's he's going to be thirty, 160 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: so he could start to decline. It'll also be key 161 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 3: for Matthew Stafford to stay healthy. But if Stafford's healthy, 162 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 3: a Cup is healthy, he's absolutely still a top three receiver. 163 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: Uh. 164 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 3: And you know, as you've talked about, the Rams defense 165 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 3: should take a huge step back this season, so it's 166 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 3: going to force them into more pass heavy game scripts. 167 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: So yeah, I love Cooper Cup. 168 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,239 Speaker 3: You know, number three, he's my number three pick overall. 169 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 3: You know, I'm I'm still drafting a receiver at number 170 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 3: three before drafting running back, so I think he's still 171 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 3: valuable and just you know, with Matthew Stafford, I think 172 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 3: I'm less concerned than other people just him staying healthy 173 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 3: this year. I think last year was kind of fluky, 174 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 3: all showing all signs points in him being one hundred 175 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 3: percent sturning the season. 176 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: So that's key. 177 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 3: Whereas you know, a guy like Tyreek Hill, we'll talk 178 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 3: about that, but there's a little bit more concern about 179 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 3: the quarterback situation. But yeah, right now recuts my wide 180 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 3: receiver three. 181 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: So let's talk about tyre Kile. You know, So when 182 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: you say concerned about the quarterback situation, I'm assuming you're 183 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: talking about, you know, the health of to a tongue 184 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: of aiuoa, which I mean, you know, it's tough because 185 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: it seems like like if he gets let's say he 186 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: gets a concussion this year, like what happens, what happens, I. 187 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 3: Don't know, but like there's a chance he could miss 188 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 3: a handful of games, shut it down for the season. 189 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 3: I mean, last year he mentioned that he was contemplating retirement. 190 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 3: So that's that's a huge concern. Unfortunate part of the 191 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 3: game obviously, So I think with that just underlying concern 192 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 3: that hurts Tyreek Hill. It's it's just more of a 193 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 3: clear path to a floor season for Tyreek Kill. If 194 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 3: TUIs stays healthy, If Tyrek stays healthy, he absolutely has 195 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 3: number one overall upsides. So you know, it's not a 196 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 3: knock on Tyrek Hill at all or Tua. It's just 197 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 3: you know, a legit concern that I have heading into 198 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 3: the season. So that's why right now I have Tyrek 199 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 3: Hill number four, just because kind of you mentioned it. 200 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 3: Just when it comes to the first couple of runs 201 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: of the draft, you're just kind of avoiding disaster. And 202 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 3: if you know, if Tua gets a cushion early in 203 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 3: the season, I'm very worried. 204 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 2: You know how that will pan out, and that that's. 205 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 3: The potential scenario that you know, when you draft Tyreek Hill, 206 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 3: you have to be you know, taking on. 207 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, and listen, I think it. You know, they got 208 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: Mike White to be the backup, so which helps, Yeah, yeah, 209 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: he I don't. But you know, so Tyreek actually averaged 210 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: about thirteen yards per target with Teddy Bridgewater on twenty 211 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: four targets last year, so like the backup, it wasn't 212 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: the backup. So Tua that really hurt Tyreek at any point. 213 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: It was the backup to the backup. It was when 214 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, the assistant to the to the region, 215 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: to the regional manager to the backup quarterback coming here 216 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: and Skyra Thompson and Tyreek O only averaged about five 217 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: yards per target with him and you know the twenty 218 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: targets there. So I think that, you know, that's kind 219 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: of the issue for you know, know, for this offense 220 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: or for Tyreek Hill in particulars. And I don't think 221 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: that there's not usually a big like Weihood that your 222 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: number three quarterback is going to have to you know, 223 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: start that many games or appear that much. So I 224 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: will say that, you know, I know there's something some 225 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: weal issues going on that might be a bigger risk 226 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: than anything with him. I mean, he's gotten into you know, yah, 227 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: throughout his career, he has kind of gotten into some 228 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: some trouble and and done some things that have gotten 229 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: him in trouble with the laws. So that could be 230 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: an issue. But outside of that, yeah, I think he's 231 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: kind of in a tier by himself, you know, cup. 232 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: I think he has that that that upside to just 233 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: be far and away the most targeted receiver in the game. 234 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: Still Tyreek Hill probably not going to be that, and 235 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: Wattle could still be getting better too. That's another thing 236 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: to keep in mind. Like last year, Tyreek Hill was targeted, 237 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: I believe it was thirty one percent of his routes, 238 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: and then Wattle was was it was in the low twenties. 239 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: And you know that could kind of converge a little 240 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: bit too. So I still think, I mean, he's so talented. Yeah, 241 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: I still think he deserves to be here, but yeah, 242 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: there's just a little more a little more of a 243 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: floor with him than I think the top three guys. 244 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: Why was the over five is Stefan Diggs another guy 245 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: who I think there could be a little bit of 246 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: a lower floor than people think, because I think this 247 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: Buffalo offense is going to kind of go to a 248 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: little bit more of you know, one two personnel, two 249 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: tight ends on the field, might even try to run 250 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: a little bit more. And we remember Diggs has this 251 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: like cryptic anger again, you know, against the coaching staff 252 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: when he came into camp, and I assume that was 253 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: when he kind of saw some of the changes in 254 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: the offense. I'm reading between the lines here. I don't 255 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: know if that's been confirmed, but it has been confirmed 256 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: that they do want to do more one two. That's 257 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: why they drafted Kincaid, you know, So with that, I 258 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: think comes just a different kind of offense. And the Spills 259 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: team has been very past heavy over the last couple 260 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: of years. So just something like that. And because Dick 261 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: wasn't even out there every play, he was kind of playing. 262 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: You know, he would say about fifteen of the pass 263 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: snaps out fifteen percent per game. Uh so it sometimes 264 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: he didn't even get the routes of a true number 265 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: one wide receive it. Now, he's so good it really 266 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: didn't matter. But there are a couple of things that 267 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: could squeeze him, so actually have him a couple of spots, 268 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: like I have a guy like Cede Lamb in front 269 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: of him this year. I'm curious to what you think 270 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: about about that. 271 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say that that he's he's not 272 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,839 Speaker 3: my wide receiver five, he's my wide receiver six. I 273 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 3: would actually prefer Ceede Lamb as well. And this is 274 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 3: the top of a tier, you know. I think once 275 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 3: Tyreek is off the board, that's sort of the end 276 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 3: of the Tier one, Tier two guys, and then you 277 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 3: kind of have a bigger tier here that you know, 278 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 3: I would absolutely love to have at the end of 279 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: the first round. I think if Digs were to follow 280 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 3: me at the end of the first round, I would 281 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 3: take him. But you know, like you mentioned this, this 282 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 3: offense could be a little bit more run heavy this year, 283 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 3: which are ding Digs a bit. Plus you know Dix, 284 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 3: he's gonna be turning thirty towards the end of the season. 285 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna decline at all, but he 286 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 3: is getting up there. But you know, he has great 287 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 3: chemistry at Josh Allen and you know his the season 288 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 3: ended kind of rough for him. I think that's kind 289 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 3: of the frustration heading in the season, just the way 290 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 3: it ended, because he had a target ra ableout twenty 291 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 3: percent and three of the final four games, and I 292 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 3: kind of noticed him being, you know, frustrated about down 293 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 3: the field. That's kind of how we exited the vikings, right. Yeah, 294 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 3: he's pretty vocal about it, so he's done this before, 295 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 3: so it is worth watching, you know, heading into the season. 296 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 2: But he's a reliable guy, high floor guy. 297 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 3: So getting him at the end of the first like 298 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 3: I said that that's certainly part of my draft strategy. 299 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 3: But you know, I have been able to get Lamb 300 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 3: ahead of him, So that's kind that's kind of the 301 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: guy I've been grabbing thing too in this tier is 302 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 3: Ceedee Lamb. 303 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about Lamb. You know, he's the next up. 304 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: I love him. I think I'm fine with taking that 305 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: that shot even though he's you know, going after digs. 306 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: You know, I'm fine with kind of taking the shot 307 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: that he's a top five receiver, you know, passing on 308 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: digs and taking him in spots because I have him 309 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: projected a little bit higher. Every year of his career. 310 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: He's jumped about ten yards per game fifty eight is 311 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: a rookie sixty nine year two, and then eighty yards 312 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: per game in year three. And you know, yes, they 313 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: have Brandon cooks now, but they do lose Dalton Sholtz. 314 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 2: Yep. 315 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: I still think this is going to be a pass 316 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: friendly offense. You know, Dak Prescott has always kind of 317 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: put up the numbers and always found Ceedee Lamb. And 318 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: you know, still I think there's a double digit touchdown 319 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: season in his range of outcomes. Still, he had hit 320 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: nine last year, so five his rookie year sixty or 321 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: two nine last year. I mean the numbers it has 322 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: been going up across the board. And he's only twenty. 323 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: He's gonna be twenty four. Yeah, well, I mean this 324 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: is his twenty eight twenty four season. He turned twenty 325 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: four in April, I should say. So he's young enough 326 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: to where he might not be finished with these you know, 327 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: improving So I love me some Ceedee Lamb this year. 328 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 329 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 3: And you know, like you said, he's entering year four, 330 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 3: he's only twenty four, coming off his first hundred plus 331 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 3: reception season. And you know, like I said, heading into 332 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 3: last season, it was his first post a Marii Cooper season. 333 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 3: That's that was the season we're all waiting for. When 334 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 3: you know, the Cowboys draft him in the first round, 335 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 3: they already had, you know, Mark Cooper, they had Michael Gallup. 336 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: We always knew he was going to take him a 337 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 3: few years to really erupt, and he did. And I 338 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 3: don't think he's stopped or I don't think he's finished yet. 339 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 3: I think this year could be even better. So yeah, 340 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 3: I love getting Ceedee Lamb in this range. Again, getting 341 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 3: him like at the end of the first round is 342 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 3: like the ideal draft strategy for me this year. 343 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, we love him. AJ Brown. He is the wide 344 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: receiver seven. You know, great season in his first year 345 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: at Philadelphia, didn't really fall off, ended up putting up 346 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: one fourteen hundred and ninety six yards. So he finally 347 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: you know, he's put up one thousand plus and three 348 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: of his four years in the league had his best year. 349 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: He's twenty six thing his prime. You know, what do 350 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: you think about AJ Brown? Here? 351 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 2: No, I love A J. Brown. 352 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 3: You know, look, heading into last season, I'll all be honest, 353 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 3: I said, you know, he was gonna unlock chayl and 354 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 3: hurt ceiling as opposed to his own. You know, I 355 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 3: wasn't that high on AJ Brown, and I couldn't have 356 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 3: been more wrong. You know, he's set career highs and targets, receptions, yards, 357 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 3: receiving touchdowns. So I mean, he was amazing in this offense, 358 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 3: you know, being the wide receiver seven in points per game. 359 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 3: Could be even better in year two in this offense. 360 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 3: But you know, I have him more in this fourth 361 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 3: tier wide receivers and they should be going after the 362 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 3: giant tier two and running backs that we talked about 363 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 3: are gone. You know, there's like six or seven running 364 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 3: backs that are all ranked together, you know, from Bijon 365 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 3: at RB three to Josh Jacobs at RB nine. I 366 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 3: have him ranked really close. So you should really be 367 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 3: getting one of these elite receivers we've been talking about 368 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 3: already and then one of those like tier two running backs, 369 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 3: you know, after you get one of those top receivers 370 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 3: or tight end. 371 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: So A J. Brown's kind of the odd man out 372 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 2: in my draft strategy in that reguard. 373 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 3: He's going like early second round, so you know, you're 374 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 3: when you're taking him, you might be taking two. 375 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 2: Receivers, which I can get behind. 376 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 3: But I think that the thing that you should do 377 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 3: is draft one of these like top six or seven 378 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 3: wide receivers and then pair them up with the Derrick 379 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 3: Henry with a Nick Chubb. I think that's my preferred 380 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 3: draft strategy. So just unfortunately, you know, A. J. Brown's 381 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 3: kind of in that no man's land where I'm not 382 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 3: getting him, even though I do have him right here 383 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 3: right around wide receiver eight. He's just not fitting into 384 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 3: my draft strategy right now. 385 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, he actually projects his wide receiver ten for me, 386 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: so but it's not like a massive difference. Right, there's 387 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: a there's a guy I'm a few spots high run 388 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: that will get to in a moment, But I don't 389 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: really have a knock on AJ Brown. And I actually 390 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: am drafting like I'd love get a getting a J. 391 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: Brown as my number two wide receiver. I've been doing 392 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: that a lot more, you know, just starting the the 393 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: drafts a lot more aggressively with wide receivers because again, 394 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: I just think, you know, there's there are times where 395 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: you know, I know, zero running back kind of popped up, 396 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: you know what was you know, five six years ago, 397 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: and it was like all the rage and then slowly 398 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: enough the market's kind of adjusted, and you know, now, 399 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: I think this year, just the way the tiers are 400 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: kind of setting up at running back and receiver, I 401 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: think zero running back is coming back a little bit 402 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: more as a viable strategy where, you know, if I 403 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: can get a J. Brown as my wide receiver two, 404 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: and I can get one of the top tight ends 405 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: and four of the top you know, thirty thirty five receivers, 406 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: I'm fine with kind of just taking my shot on 407 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: you know, three of those running backs, you know, outside 408 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: the top twenty five and just you know, hoping kind 409 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: of hoping for the best, which is what you're doing, 410 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: you know, just whoever falls. So I don't mind. I 411 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: don't really have a knock on aj Brown, but you know, 412 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: I do think last year it's going to be tough 413 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: to beat the numbers he put up last year. I 414 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: will say that, like fifteen hundred, you know, nearly fifteen 415 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: hundred yards, eleven touchdowns. You're gonna probably see some natural 416 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: regression from that. Doante Smith is still improving, Goddard may 417 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: not miss FI games. You also have DeAndre Swift as 418 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: more of a pass catching threat. So really what we 419 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: need is, you know, if the Eagles, if the volume 420 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: goes up for for the Eagles, uh, you know, it's 421 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: it's better for Brown. But yeah, no, no, no knock 422 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: on him, but yeah, there are some guys that I'd 423 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: still take over him that that aren't being drafted as such. 424 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 2: Uh. 425 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: DeVante Adams is next stup. He's been dropping. He's wide 426 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: receiver eight. Uh, there's concern, there's concern. You know, the 427 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: Raiders long time quarterback Derek Carr, they let him go. 428 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: They signed Jimmy Garoppolo, and now we found out Garoppolo's 429 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: you know, not a lot to be healthy to start 430 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: the year. I mean big, you know, big, big, big 431 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: surprise there. But even if he is, and they're saying 432 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: they're not concerned in terms of the Raiders, Brats is 433 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: saying that, but Garoppolo doesn't usually play full seasons as 434 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: it is, so there's still concerned. And Adams has been 435 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: quarterback proof in the past, but this offense, it is, 436 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: it's a different offense, you know. So we can't say 437 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: he'll necessarily. We can't necessarily you say he will be 438 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,719 Speaker 1: in the future. I just haven't been getting good vibes, 439 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: you know, out of Raiders Campbell off season. So I 440 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: see why to drop here. But do you think eight 441 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: is a little too far or what are you doing 442 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: with Devonte here? 443 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 3: Well, it's tough, and again it has nothing to do 444 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 3: with him, but you know, this is you we were 445 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 3: talking about Diggs being a disgruntled wide receiver situation. This 446 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 3: one's more concerning to me because there's a lot more 447 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 3: reason behind it. You know, he goes to Vegas to 448 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 3: play with his buddy Derek Carr, then they got rid 449 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 3: of them, and the quarterback situation is definitely a major 450 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 3: concern heading in the season. Even if Jimmy G stays healthy, 451 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 3: you know, they don't cut him because it doesn't pass 452 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 3: the physical that sort of thing. It's still a concern 453 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 3: because you know, Adam's already had chemistry with Derek Carr, 454 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 3: so you know they hit the ground running. Jimmy G 455 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 3: doesn't have chemistry with anybody, and you know, the longer 456 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 3: he's out unable to practice, he's not gonna be able 457 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 3: to get it with anybody heading into the season. So 458 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 3: he could spread the targets a little bit more like 459 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 3: Jacoby Myers might be a guy he targets more. So 460 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 3: there's a lot more volatility just in general. So while 461 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 3: DeVante Adams has been QB proof his entire career, I 462 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 3: mean he was putting up wide receiver one numbers with 463 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 3: you know, Brett Humley under center on the Packers. I 464 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 3: think this is a situation where I am concerned. He's 465 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 3: certainly still a tough fight talent. But having said that, 466 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 3: he's yeah right around here the wide receiver eight nine. 467 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 3: But you know, the floor is very low. Again, I 468 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 3: don't know if you have any update on the Jimmy G. 469 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 3: You know, physical, but if he doesn't pass that, they 470 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 3: could cut him and not spend a dime or something 471 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 3: like that, and they just might rebuild. So that scenario 472 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 3: would be very, very bad and probably land Adams outside 473 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 3: my top ten. So again, in this point of the draft, 474 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 3: I'm not really trying to roll the dice on anything. 475 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 3: So just given that he does also have a scenario 476 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 3: that could really lower his floor, I've been kind of 477 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 3: staying away from now until we get a little bit 478 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 3: more clarity. 479 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 2: On the Jimmy g situation. 480 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, we still don't have clarity. Yeah, I think it's 481 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: you know, we're talking about a guy passing a physical 482 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: with an injury or you know, so I don't think 483 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: we get clarity until he takes the physical again. And 484 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: maybe I don't know how that works, Like is he 485 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: taking physicals and faniling them and the meat. I don't 486 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: know what's going on exactly how that works. I'm guessing 487 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: there's just probably a physical, uh you know, plan for 488 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: whenever they think he's going to pass it next. I 489 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: haven't heard any update on that yet, but I agree. 490 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: At the same time, I think, you know, Davante Adam's 491 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: at wide receiver eight. You know, we mentioned a guy 492 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: with a j Brown might be going a little high too, 493 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: So you know Brown at wise, I mean Adams, excuse me, 494 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: a wide receiver eight. There is some by low kind 495 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: of appeal there, uh you know, falling that low because yeah, 496 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: his floor could be a little lower than uh then 497 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: than it has been in the past, but uh, it's 498 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: still going to be higher than you know, he's I 499 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: think he still has like a top eight top eight floor. 500 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: So you know, I'm willing to buy low on spots. Again, 501 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: I think it's really comes down to I like being 502 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,119 Speaker 1: aggressive at the wide receiver positions, so I'm willing to 503 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: kind of just kind of stack these guys up. You know, 504 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: even though they might not rank exactly where they're going 505 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: in ADP, like I might have Devonte Adams wide receiver nine, 506 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: I still wouldn't hesitate to take them in a lot 507 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: of spots. 508 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 2: You know. 509 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: I just think wide receiver. Drafting wide receiver early is 510 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: going to be a valuable strategy this season, just based 511 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: on just again based on the drop offs. Amon Rossing 512 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: Brown is the wide receiver nine. I actually have him 513 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: wide receiver seven. I really like him this year, always have. 514 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: I just think he's a guy. He's one of those 515 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: guys that could lead the league in receptions. He's he's 516 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: not really going to have a massive competition for targets 517 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: in Detroit. I mean you're looking at the number two 518 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: target for Detroit, could be at running back, could be 519 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: Jamier Gibbs, you know, then you have Marvin Jones, Josh Reynolds, 520 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: those are and even Jamison Williams. Those could be kind 521 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: of lower percentage route running route runners. Laporta, who we 522 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: both like at tight end, is still a rookie. So 523 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I just think league leader in targets, league 524 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: leader in catches is distinctly within the possibility for a Manra. 525 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: And we expect this offense to take another step forward, 526 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: you know, with Jared Goff, you know, kind of coming 527 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: into his own here. And I think the Lions have 528 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 1: a pretty good schedule as far as opposing defenses. So 529 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: I actually like a Monra above some of the other 530 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: guys we've just talked about. How are you feeling about him? 531 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's honestly, he's about as safe as it gets 532 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 3: in this range. You know, we have the concerns about 533 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 3: digs about you know, Brown to a lesser extent, but 534 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 3: you know, Adam certainly but Brown has a super high floor. 535 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 3: You know, you mentioned he saw target on thirty percent 536 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 3: of his routes, which only trailed Tyreek Hill. And he 537 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 3: had a seventy seven percent catch right, which is right 538 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 3: around where you expect the guy that season a dot 539 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 3: like closer to six point seven. So that's going to 540 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 3: make him extremely reliable, maybe expensive his ceiling, but like 541 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 3: you said, he could lead the league in receptions because 542 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 3: while I do like Sam Laporta, he is replacing TJ. 543 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 3: Hawkinson and he's not quite that level yet. So you know, 544 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 3: I think amon Ra could actually see an increase in 545 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 3: target share this year. And you know Jamior Gibbs, he's 546 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 3: a legit pass catching back, but he is replacing DeAndre 547 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 3: Swift who saw a high target rate, so it all 548 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 3: evens out, and you know, I think am On Ra 549 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 3: will only be better this year. So yeah, even just 550 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 3: when it comes to touchdowns, he's not really a guy. 551 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 3: You know, I'm expecting a ten plus touchdown season, but 552 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 3: you know, they had a lot of rushing touchdowns around 553 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 3: the goal line last year with Jamal Williams, and even 554 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 3: if Jamal Williams were there, you know, I would expect 555 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 3: a couple more of those to go to the passing games, 556 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 3: so Amon Ra could see a couple more you know, 557 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 3: in zone targets as a result, so that that could help, 558 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 3: you know, raise his ceiling a bit is in the 559 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 3: touchdown department. So yeah, there's really no holes of pokes 560 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 3: in Amal Ross Sam Brown's game heading into his third season. 561 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't find any, I really think in you know, 562 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: I haven't. I got to look at the futures markets. 563 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's pretty high up there. But yeah, I 564 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 1: think reading the league and catches and targets is squarely 565 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: within his range of outcomes this season. Garrett Wilson entered 566 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: year two is the wide receiver ten. What do you 567 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: think about him? Going from well is it Zach Wilson, 568 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: Mike White and you know, just just poverty at quarterbacks 569 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers. 570 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 3: Well, Mike White was fairly cool, he was decent, but yeah, 571 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 3: just a terrible situation. And you know, I mentioned it 572 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 3: with the running backs just you know, all three running 573 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 3: backs were in like the bottom five and catchall balls 574 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 3: last year, and you know, the one common theme is 575 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 3: the quarterback situation. And Garrett Wilson was also impacted as well. 576 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 3: You know, thirty one percent of his targets were uncatchable 577 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 3: last year according to Sports Info Solutions, which is the 578 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 3: fourth highest at receiver. So having a future Hall of 579 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 3: Famer like Aaron Rodgers will certainly take care of that, 580 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 3: which is why I'm just super high on Garrett Wilson. 581 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 3: Like every day, I'm you know, crunching more numbers, will 582 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 3: look into it. I love him even more so I 583 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 3: think where he's going, especially you know at. 584 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 2: The end of the second round. 585 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 3: That's that's kind of where I think you should be 586 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 3: taking this tier receiver. I'm a little bit higher, but 587 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 3: I love where he's going in the draft as well 588 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 3: at wide receiver ten. But you know, he he has 589 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 3: legit top five upside. You know, if he and Aaron 590 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 3: Rodgers can build chemistry early in the season, that's going 591 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 3: to be massive because we saw that just throughout Rogers' 592 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 3: career and like a guy like Christian Watson last year, 593 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 3: once they got on the same page, you know, he 594 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 3: was scoring more touchdowns than anybody. So I think Garrett 595 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 3: Wilson has all the talent. He showed that last season 596 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 3: with shitty quarterbacks. But you know, if you were to 597 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 3: click with Aaron Rodgers. It's game over. So I just 598 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 3: love love getting him at wide receiver ten right now. 599 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: Yep. You know, lookn a guy like I'm on russink Brow, 600 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: who we just talked about. Year one, his target route 601 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: rate was about twenty two percent. Year two had jumped 602 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: up to twenty nine percent. And that's something in your 603 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: uteine we see with these you know, day one, Day 604 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: two picks and just these talented guys in general. So 605 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: you're one of year two, you know, especially, we've always 606 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: seen Aaron Rodgers top receiver. It's been Devonte Adams a 607 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: lot at the time. But even last year, you know, 608 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: Christian Watson was targeted on twenty four percent of his 609 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: routes from Rogers. You don't think of Watson as like 610 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: a high necessarily a high target per route rate guy. 611 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: So you know, I think Rogers is going to force 612 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: feed Wilson. Obviously still got his Boiletzard there as well, 613 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: but Wilson is just too talented and he has essentially 614 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: a massive target hug. Oh and by the way, this 615 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: guy rarely came off the field down the stretch, playing 616 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: about ninety six ninety seven percent of the snaps over 617 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: his last ten games, So we like that even more. 618 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: You know, this guy, unless he catches like a fifty 619 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: yard bomb and it's not a touchdown and he doesn't 620 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: need a breather like, he's probably not ever coming off 621 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: the field. So yeah, I think it's all upside with 622 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, Jaalen Wattle and wide receiver eleven. What do 623 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: you think of him? You know, is he still on 624 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: the upswing? Because I know we were worried a little 625 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: bit about him last year with a guy like Tyreek 626 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: Hill coming in and turns out that Hill was able 627 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: to be targeted over thirty percent of his routes and 628 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: Wattle still managed an extremely productive season, targeted on twenty 629 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: two percent of his routes. Now, that was down about 630 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: two percent from his rookie year, but you know this, 631 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: guys still tend to make these jumps in terms of 632 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: efficiency year two to year three as well. So you know, 633 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,719 Speaker 1: what do you think about Wattle? Are we just kind 634 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: of kind of see more of the same And is 635 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: that even a bad thing considering how good he was 636 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: last year? 637 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely not a bad thing. And you know, to 638 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 3: be fair, has a bit down Wattle last year. I 639 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 3: just didn't know this offense was going to be as 640 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 3: potent as it was. But this year, I'm in line 641 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 3: with him in ADP. He's my wide receiver eleven, and 642 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 3: it's just a combo of you know, just Mike McDaniels 643 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 3: and the scheme and Tua playing a lot better. And 644 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 3: it left just Jenn Wattle wide open over the middle 645 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 3: of the field just constantly last year, and we saw 646 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 3: his a doc go up over five and a half 647 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 3: yards from his rookie season. His rookie season is really 648 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 3: weird where just everybody was hurt, so they were just 649 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 3: peppering the targets at the line of scrimmage. But last year, 650 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 3: you know, they got to open it up a bit 651 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 3: with Tyreek there, so you know, he led the NFL 652 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 3: with eighteen point seven yards per catch. So I would 653 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 3: be more than happy if he stays in that role. 654 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 3: And you know, as you mentioned, with Tyreek Hill having 655 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 3: a pretty high target share around thirty percent, and you 656 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 3: know Wadelell closer to twenty percent. If that you know, 657 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 3: narrows this year, you know, the sky's limit for Wattle 658 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 3: as well. So the Dolphins are certainly a top heavy 659 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 3: offense where both these receivers should be in the top twelve, 660 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 3: you know, after getting rid of g Is sicky even 661 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 3: last year, just they're completely punting on the tight end position. 662 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 3: So it's just one of those things where it's a 663 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 3: very top heavy target offense where just Wattle and Tyreek 664 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 3: you are going to get most of targets. So I 665 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 3: think that Wattle himself does have a high flour, high 666 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 3: seiling combo, even though he is technically the number two 667 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 3: receiver in their offense. 668 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 2: But I still like him at wide receiver eleven. 669 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the talent there, you know, it's it's 670 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: he's at this point, especially given the offense Heason, he's 671 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: a poor man's tyree Q at this point. You know, 672 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,479 Speaker 1: he's the target rate is going to be a little lower, 673 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: but you know, in terms of the speed and the 674 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: breakaway ability and the ability to threaten deep. I mean 675 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: his rookie year, you know, to your point, he only 676 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: had four catches on passes of twenty yards and more 677 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: on nineteen I mean, excuse me, on twelve targets for 678 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty one yards. No touchdowns on such 679 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: passes last year that that jump. You know, he's got 680 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: ten catches for three forty nine and three touchdowns on 681 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: passes twenty yards and more according to PFF. So as 682 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: long as he's still kind of in that role where 683 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna he's still going to do his thing intermediate, 684 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, some stuff short. But I think I think 685 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: the fact that he's getting deep targets as well really 686 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: opens it up for him. Because you know, a guy 687 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: getting you know, twenty plus percent target chair that's also 688 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: can be productive down the field. Good things are gonna happen. 689 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, like like Wado here at a wide receiver eleven, 690 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: and then T Higgins is the wide receiver twelve. What 691 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: are you seeing with him this year? 692 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 2: Well? Ti Higgins is always my guy, love him. 693 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 3: And if there's if there's you know, two offenses that 694 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 3: could port too wide receiver ones, it's the Bengals and Dolphins. 695 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 3: So I have T Higgins as my wide receiver twelve. 696 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,959 Speaker 3: And you know, he missed a few games last year 697 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 3: due to injury, but he was still you know, the 698 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 3: wide receiver eleven in terms of points per game. So 699 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 3: I think he's definitely you know, a low end. 700 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 2: Wide receiver one. 701 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 3: But this probably does honestly represent close you know his 702 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 3: ceiling just because Jamar Chase, you know, I mentioned his 703 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 3: his aid out dropped three and a half yards last year, 704 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 3: so they're just you know, they're feeding Jamar Chase even 705 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 3: more and unfortunately that that leaves Higgins with just a 706 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 3: bit less in terms of volume. But he's still talented. 707 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 3: We could see him break out in terms of touchdowns 708 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 3: and really go off there. But I do think this 709 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 3: is closer to his ceiling, So I'm not getting him 710 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 3: as much here. You know, you can get like Olave 711 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 3: a few picks later, who I have ranked you know, similarly, 712 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 3: so he's sitting on top of like a you know, 713 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 3: five waight tier here. So while I do have Higgins 714 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 3: ranked you know, wide receiver twelve, I just don't get 715 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 3: him too much because I typically wait, get a guy similar, 716 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 3: you know, the next round. 717 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 2: So I'm ranked similar to ADP. 718 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 3: I'm just not getting much Higgins's based on my draft 719 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 3: strategy right now. 720 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm good. I'm getting I'm getting a little 721 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: more of him in Best Ball. I love it because 722 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: you can there's spots where you can get Chase and 723 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: Higgins and kind of do that, you know, Bengal stack. 724 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 1: It's pretty Brow. Yeah, yeah, but you know, I you 725 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 1: know there is in bastball you do want to try 726 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: to stack, especially with those large fields, larger field tournaments 727 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: you know, to win. So I do like it there. 728 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: And like I said, I am drafting wide receiver pretty aggressively, 729 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: so I'm getting quite a big bit of Higgins. Don't 730 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: think he's out of line in terms of where he's going. 731 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,919 Speaker 1: I think I actually have DK Metcalf with one spot 732 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: ahead of him. But it's all you know, these guys Higgins, Wattle, Higgins, 733 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: Davonte Smith, Olave, Keenan Allen, they're all in that same 734 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,439 Speaker 1: range for me where it's more about me getting one 735 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: of those guys in you know, wherever I'm drafting and 736 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: then stacking it up and getting as many as possible 737 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: more than differentiating between, you know, between any of them 738 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: in that specific tier. I think I think the floor 739 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: ceiling combination for all of them is pretty similar. It's 740 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: just gonna come down to things like you know, touchdown 741 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: walk miss games, things like that. But you know, guys 742 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: like Metcalf, Allen, I do think, you know, they're like 743 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase is unquestionably gonna be the number one receiver 744 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: whereas you know Higgins is so that means Higgins probably 745 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: on question with the number two. So you know, in spots, 746 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: will I mix in an Allen or a Metcalf or 747 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: somebody like that, if if they're eightyps are in similar spots. Yes, 748 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: But a lot of times you can you know, I'm 749 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 1: getting Higgins and then just still trying to get other 750 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 1: guys I have ranked, you know, similarly, rather than fading Higgins, 751 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: if that makes sense. 752 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And this is this is where the draft 753 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 3: opens up, just backtracking, Like if I'm looking at my 754 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 3: overall rankings, it's like the top twelve or like all receivers, 755 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 3: so I'm usually drafting a receiver on one. Round two, 756 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 3: I have like all running backs, so usually get a 757 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 3: running back round too. This is round three where it's 758 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 3: like you can draft a quarterback here and I wouldn't 759 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 3: hate it. You can get Mark Andrews again if you 760 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 3: want to just settle the tight end position or you 761 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 3: know your first or second running back. 762 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 2: But it really opens up so if. 763 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 3: You're if you are still aggressive receiver, you can still 764 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 3: get a good one here with like a Higgins A 765 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 3: lave about to smith DK like you said, so that 766 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 3: round three is really where I think think the draft 767 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 3: opens up and you can go any direction, and it 768 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 3: kind of depends on how you attacked you know, the 769 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 3: first couple rounds. But yeah, just the fact that you 770 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 3: can get these receivers in round three just shows you 771 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 3: know how deep it is. But how important is to 772 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,040 Speaker 3: lock up receiver early. Like if I get out of 773 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 3: round four, I better have two receivers, Like that's that's 774 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 3: my plan. 775 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 2: So it's you just really have to get these guys early. 776 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 3: Because you know, we'll talk about the next pod, but 777 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 3: you know, they go quick and then that's it. And 778 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 3: then it's it's really hard to find value later on 779 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 3: and hit home runs because this position is usually top 780 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 3: heavy and you can't you know, bank on getting a 781 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 3: wide receiver at the end of the draft or on 782 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 3: the waiver wire like you can at say like running 783 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 3: backers sometimes even tight end. So I think it's just 784 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 3: absolutely critical to target wide receiver early and often. 785 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's only so many guys that are gonna you know, 786 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: get targeted on twenty plus percent of their routes and 787 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: be efficient, uh yeah with that, and you know it 788 00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: kind of drops off quick. You know if if a 789 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: lot of times if guys, if the team's number one 790 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: wide receiver goes down, the targets is kind of flatten out. 791 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: Whereas at running back, and like I said, even in 792 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: the running back two three tier, I think there's a 793 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: lot of flyers you could take that have that RB 794 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: one upside. So yeah, I if I'm getting Higgins as 795 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: my tight my wide receiver one, I'm probably disappointed. If 796 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: I get him as my wide receiver two, I'm thrilled. 797 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: So that is the Yeah, that's going to do it 798 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: for the for the top twelve at receiver. We'll be 799 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: back next week to break down the rest of the 800 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: wide receivers.
