1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 2: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly 3 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 2: source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and 4 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 2: Now here's your host, Paul Chargian. 6 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody. I am Paul Charchie and it's Fantasy Football Weekly. 7 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 3: Joining me again. 8 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: Like last week, thorn Eister Mischieval really put a rap 9 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: on most of our very draft specific coverage. You know, 10 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: at this point, now we're a couple of weeks out, 11 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: and you know, I feel like we've covered a lot 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: of bases leading up to the draft, the draft itself. 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: We did a first round show last week. We talked 14 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: about the ideal landing spots, guys that fell into spots 15 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: where we think they can have immediate impact. Now we're 16 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: gonna flip it overor we're gonna talk about some of 17 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: the guys that we feel like good players, but guys 18 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: that didn't really fall into spots or they have as 19 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: nearly as easy an opportunity for immediate success. 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 4: That's right. Yeah, you got to roll with the punches 21 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 4: in life, and some of these guys their initial step 22 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 4: acclimation into the NFL. They have some tougher situations to 23 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 4: work through than some of the guys that we were 24 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 4: talking about last week. So we're going to talk about 25 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,279 Speaker 4: those some of those situations today. 26 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: So we're not suggesting these players are never gonna have 27 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: fantasy value or that they're not good players. A lot 28 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: of times we like these players, we don't like the situation. 29 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: What we are saying is they've got complicated paths to 30 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: achieve reliable fantasy success, particularly in the short term. Mostly 31 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: I've done I've called this list together from players who 32 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: have are that were taken between rounds two and four 33 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: because I don't think there's a lot of value going well, 34 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: this seventh rounder didn't really hit a great. 35 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 4: Spot, you know. 36 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: So you know, we're talking about good players that just 37 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: fall fell into tough spots. 38 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 3: And like last week, I want to start the running 39 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: back position. 40 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of running backs that really fell 41 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: into tough spots. So this was a thin running back 42 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: draft anyway, right didn't have the big high end talent, 43 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: and then some of these guys fell into bad So 44 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: let'speaking with Blake coorm False goes to the Rams in 45 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: round three. He's currently going off the board at picks 46 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: seventeen in non superflex rookie drafts. And obviously the problem 47 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: is Kyron Williams was really good last year. You know, 48 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: Sean McVay, you know, middle of the pack. You know 49 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: he's he's not a run heavy cours play caller. So 50 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: the competition with Kavi Williams Williams is real. What are 51 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: your thoughts on this spot for Blake. 52 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 4: Korm Yeah, I think that they took him in order 53 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 4: to try to protect themselves as an insurance policy against 54 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 4: the Kyron Williams injury. Obviously, with the size with Kien Williams, 55 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 4: using him as a bell cow every single season, with 56 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 4: the usage they were giving them last season is not 57 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 4: going to work out long term. You're gonna get him injured. 58 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 4: And the way that they did this, it's interesting. With Korum, 59 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 4: I think the quorum initially bites heavily into the early 60 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 4: down work of Kien Williams. Kyen Williams will be on 61 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 4: the field for all the all the passing downs and 62 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 4: everything like that, and I'm not saying that. 63 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: So you're saying Blake Koram is going to start. And 64 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: if you think that's the case when well. 65 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 4: I think right from the get it's the early down stuff. Okay, yeah, 66 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 4: but the offense they're the constitution of it. It's so 67 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 4: much of the passing and Kyen Williams. You're not taking 68 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 4: him off the field for that, but in order to 69 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 4: keep him on the field and guarantee that you have 70 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 4: Karen Williams into the playoff theoretical playoff run. Yeah, I 71 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 4: think you know, again the buying the insurance policy here 72 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 4: with Quorum, and Quorum's thing is it's that stuff, the 73 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 4: efficiency on the ground, which obviously they leveraged so much 74 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 4: on the last year's national title team at Michigan. They're 75 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 4: going to like the patience with him, the vision and 76 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 4: then the agility, the way that he sets guys up 77 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 4: and then forces the off angle attempts, the early down efficiency, 78 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 4: and I think that that's what they're bringing him in 79 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 4: for and again in order to increase the odds that 80 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 4: they have Kien Williams healthy the entire season. Karen Williams, 81 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 4: his owners probably didn't like to see that, but you're 82 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 4: still going to get all the passing down stuff with him. 83 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 4: But yeah, the early down work, I think Quorum takes 84 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 4: a bit bite out of it as a rookie. All right. 85 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: Interesting, So if that's the case, he's currently going off 86 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: the board to pick seventeen non super flex rookie drafts. 87 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: Is that too late? Do you think you should go higher? 88 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: Most people, I mean, the consensus thinking is that Karen 89 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: Williams was so efficient in this Rams offense last year, 90 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: that Williams is going to be is going to be 91 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: the primary and that Koran maybe you know, worked in 92 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: a little bit here and there, picked their spots, maybe 93 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: some passing downs, things like that. 94 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: You're flipping the narrative a little bit. 95 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: It might it might be a little bit. Yeah, Koran 96 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 4: could have found a better landing if. 97 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: Dallas, Dallas would have been great, Chargers would have been great. 98 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 4: The other side of La Absolutely there was ones that 99 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: were better. But I think that he's going to get 100 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 4: a bit more work as a rookie than people are 101 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 4: giving it credit for. And if Karen Williams gets injured 102 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 4: at Cours, then now then it's game. 103 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: It potentially a top ten for fantasy running back at 104 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: that point. Next let's go to Ray Davis, who drops 105 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: into Buffalo. Now, I like Ray Davis, and I texted. 106 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: You about a week before the draft. 107 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: Yes, because I finally up on Ray Davis and I'm 108 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: looking at his games. I'm like, man, this guy was productive. 109 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: They used him a lot of different ways. There were 110 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: a lot of things I liked about Ray Davis's game. 111 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: But he falls into Buffalo where James Cook is the 112 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: established starter and he's earned the right to get first carries, 113 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: and most of Sean McDermott's tenure a Buffalo, he's employed 114 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: a committee backfield, and then of course, on top of 115 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: all that, Josh Allen steals a lot of close in touchdowns. 116 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 3: So I don't like this landing spot for Ray Davis. 117 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 4: What are your thoughts as far as the evaluation itself? 118 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 4: And I'm rooting for Ray Davis a kid. People look 119 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 4: up his background. He's an inspirational story. And not only 120 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 4: that when he gets to college, he fought through bad 121 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 4: situations throughout. It was at Temple at the start, and 122 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 4: then later on Vandy and then he finally gets to Kentucky. 123 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 124 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, but he was getting ganged up on initially at 125 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 4: those spots because he was the only offensive player that 126 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 4: they had, and he would fight through all these loaded 127 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 4: boxes and then when he got to Kentucky, especially the 128 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 4: last season, you saw a little bit different. Where earlier 129 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 4: on been more the short yardage grinder guy and had 130 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 4: a bigger build. He clearly worked on his body to 131 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 4: try to improve the athletic testing, got a little bit smaller, 132 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 4: got down to two to eleven, bowling ball type guy, 133 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 4: another one of those five eight and a half. My 134 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 4: is my concern with his EVO is is he maxed out? 135 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 4: Is he another key Sean Vaughn. That is what we'll 136 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 4: have to see going to Buffalo. If it works out 137 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 4: for him as far as early on, it's because he 138 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 4: has taken the early down work and James Cook, you know, 139 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 4: essentially becomes what I was just suggesting that Kyron Williams 140 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 4: will be, and then Davis can steal some of that 141 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 4: Blake Korum early downwork here because Buffalo doesn't have a 142 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 4: lot of early down candidates for that. But like you 143 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 4: mentioned when when we're talking about fantasy, you want some 144 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 4: of those those high leverage opportunities to be a clear 145 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 4: pathway to that the touchdowns if it's going if you know, 146 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 4: he's not going to be getting any catches, which in 147 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 4: Buffalo they're not going to be using Ray Davis as 148 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 4: a result, you want to note that, Yeah, around the 149 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 4: goal line, we're gonna have that opportunity. I think hit 150 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 4: the nail on the head. I don't think that's going 151 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 4: to be there for him. Maybe between the twenties you 152 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 4: see a little bit of that stuff with him being 153 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 4: used in that area. But yeah, not the best landing 154 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 4: spot for him. 155 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeap, Ray Davis picked twenty seven in non superflex rookie drafts. 156 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to another guy who another running 157 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: back that we were pretty excited about, but we really 158 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: don't like the spot. It's Marshawn Lloyd falls to Green 159 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: Bay round three. He's picked nineteen in non superflex rookie drafts, 160 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: and he's just plastered on the bench behind Josh Jacobs. 161 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: I don't think AJ Dillon's a huge factor here, but man, 162 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: the fact that they even resigned AJ Dillon is anyway. 163 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: Jacobs signed through twenty twenty seven, but the nature of 164 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: his contract means that he's cuttable after two years. But man, 165 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to wait two years to see Marshawn Lloyd. 166 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: And Josh Jacobs. 167 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: Is I assume the clear number one based on what 168 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: they paid him in the pedigree. What are your thoughts 169 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: on Marshawn Lloyd in Green Bay? 170 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 4: This might be the most annoying landing spot of anyone. 171 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 4: I was very excited about, like you were mentioned, very 172 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 4: excited about Marshall Lloyd. Almost five nine, two hundred and 173 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 4: twenty pounds, eighty six percentile athlete, and he has four 174 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 4: or four wheels and he knows how to use him. 175 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 4: He has the combination of make you miss and power 176 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,239 Speaker 4: that gets him out to the second level into open grass. 177 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 4: The change of direction as well, and then he can 178 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 4: get to the top gear real quick. Once once he 179 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 4: is into it to open grass, he runs mean. We 180 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 4: asked him about that down in mobile, like why do 181 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 4: you run so mean, Marshawan, And he goes because I'm 182 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 4: from Delaware, And that's what we had to do. 183 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 3: We had to show but what it's like to Delaware. 184 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 4: So we got to kick out of that very thick 185 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 4: lower body and it's a loaded spring where he just 186 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 4: snaps the arm tackles. He's a fighter. I love his 187 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 4: contact balance. The thing with him though now you had 188 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 4: here it's a guy in college that was never used 189 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 4: on passing downs and that was the thing with his evaluation, 190 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 4: It's like, was that just because the usage first at 191 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 4: South Carolina and then at the other USC when he 192 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 4: went and played with Caleb Williams last season? Was it 193 00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 4: just because of that usage? And then he got dig 194 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 4: up throughout college, had an acl tear nagging injuries here 195 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 4: and there. The upside with him as the pure runner 196 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 4: on the early downs is just about as high as 197 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: anybody in this class. I don't think that they're going 198 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 4: to use him whatsoever on the passing downs. But the 199 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 4: situation that he got into on the early downs, what 200 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 4: are you going to be shoving aside Josh Jacobs or 201 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 4: aj Dillon. That's his mission if he choose to accept it. 202 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 4: But this is a tough, tough landing spot for Marshall Lloyd. 203 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: It is all right, Let's next. Let's go to running 204 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: back Jalen Wright, who drops into Miami. A brutal landing 205 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: spot for him. Fourth round selection going off the board 206 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: right now, pick twenty in non superflex rookie drafts. Obviously 207 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: massive problems here with Raheem Moster, Devon h Chan, Jeff Wilson. 208 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: And he's a Miami kind of run. 209 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 3: He's a Dolphin style runner. 210 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: Super fast, right, Yet he's got some of the solid 211 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: build abilities and he can run inside. I mean, he 212 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: fits what they like to do there. 213 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 3: But this is a up. It's a brutal spot to fall. 214 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 4: Into, and it's too bad because we were so close 215 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: to getting the ideal one. Dallas had done a lot 216 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 4: of work on Jalen Right during the pre draft process, 217 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 4: and Jalen Right at five ten and a half, two 218 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 4: ten with ninety eight percentile athleticism as a guy that 219 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 4: I compared to Tony Pollard in the middle. How about 220 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 4: that that would have been pert You would have had 221 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 4: your Tony p Yes, Dallas, strangely in that pick elected 222 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 4: to go with this long arm, Notre Dame linebacker who 223 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 4: misses a bunch of tackles. And I wasn't terribly impressed 224 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 4: with this tape, which then Jalen Wright you fall into 225 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 4: Saturday when when Miami ends up taking Jalen Right, a 226 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 4: lot of people were surprised. I wasn't I have been 227 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 4: told in the pre draft process that Miami was all 228 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 4: over it. Yeah, they were the number one team that 229 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 4: wastes all such a good fit for what they like 230 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 4: to do. Mike McDaniel fetishizes running backs like this, and 231 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 4: I think people when they look at the fitt devonan 232 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 4: Chane and then you re signed most of it, they're like, 233 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 4: why would you invest draft equity into a guy like 234 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 4: Jalen Wright. I'll tell you. I'll tell you why, because 235 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 4: I asked around. It's because you have Devon Chane. You 236 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 4: have to limit him to twelve around ten touches that's 237 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 4: per game. Yeah, you have to because if you do 238 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 4: more than that, now you are to break him down exactly. 239 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 4: The injuries are going to come. So you have to 240 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 4: do that. Number One, Jalen Wright is being brought in 241 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 4: I believe, and you know the conversations that I've had 242 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 4: for the passing downs initially, that is how that they 243 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 4: can mitigate the times where aucchains on the field. He's 244 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 4: the early downs. You can have moster coming as well 245 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 4: a little bit on the early downs, but Jalen Right's 246 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 4: going to handle some the passing down stuff. Initially. Jalen 247 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 4: Right very good receiver. He's also a super duper underrated 248 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 4: pass blocker coming out there. Jalen Right freak athlete, was 249 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 4: on the Feldman Freak Class multiple times. Thirty five carries 250 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 4: of ten plus yards on only one hundred and thirty 251 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 4: six attempts last season. That means that more than one 252 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 4: quarter of his attempts went for more than ten yards. 253 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 3: That's nuts. 254 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 4: He had the fastest track GPS time on a run 255 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 4: last season amongst running backs twenty two point two miles 256 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 4: per hour. You're talking speed for days with that kid, 257 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 4: and he proved it down in Indianapolis at the NFL 258 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 4: combined with a high four to threes. And he also can. 259 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 4: He's elusive as well. He breaks tackles. One hundred and 260 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 4: thirty two point two elusive rating last season was near 261 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 4: the top of this class. So you have all that stuff. 262 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 4: What they have to work on him with it's the 263 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 4: vision and working in a conventional, more constricted area as 264 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 4: a runner on those early downs because Jalen Wright comes 265 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 4: from this Mickey Mouse spread offense where it played right 266 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 4: into his strengths. Because Jalen it's like a Tevin Coleman 267 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 4: as a runner where he wants to see that crease 268 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 4: down the field yea, and he wants to hit dingers, 269 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 4: which was great, a great fit for that Tennessee offense. 270 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 4: But initially in practices that is what Miami is going 271 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 4: to be working on him with but he doesn't. They're 272 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 4: not going to need him for that, I think right away, 273 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 4: because Auchan's gonna be handling that you use him on 274 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 4: the field as a rookie for the passing downs. And 275 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 4: then of course he's injury insurance for aud Chane as well. 276 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: That's Jalen Wright ends up in Miami. 277 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 3: I think he hits. 278 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: I think this just turns into now like a three 279 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: headed monster. But at some point they're gonna be games 280 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: or series of games where moster's hurt, a chans hurt, 281 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: and there's gonna be you know, he'll have some opportunity 282 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: and he used to go together like the twenty carry game, 283 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: and he's gonna go nuts. 284 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. 285 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: The Jets surprise many people by spending fourth and fifth 286 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: round picks at running back. They took Brailen Allen, Isaiah Davis. 287 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: They're currently going out the board is picks thirty three 288 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: and forty seven in non superflex rookie drafts. 289 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 3: Okay, the problems here are many. 290 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: They're stylistically similar, so they'll bad each other stylistically, and 291 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: then of course they're behind Breeze Hall and maybe is 292 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: he about a Conda who with many people at this 293 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: time last year we're super excited about So you get 294 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 1: the feeling here. And by the way, and if you're 295 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: gonna have to wait a while for them to be 296 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: a starter Alan or Davis. 297 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 3: Well, who's the Jets quarterback? 298 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: If you're waiting two years down the road for one 299 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: of those guys to pop, I don't know what that 300 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: offense is going to look like. Posts Aaron Rodgers, and 301 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: we you know how big of a setback is that 302 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: going to be? So thoughts on Brailan Allen and Isaiah 303 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: Davis for the Jets. 304 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 4: I was so confused by what the Jets did over 305 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 4: the week, and I was under the assumption that this 306 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 4: was a win now team and really none of the 307 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 4: decisions they were making were way to win now this one. 308 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 4: These two as well, we're confusing to me. I like 309 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 4: Isja Davis, he was my rbaight. I was bullish on him. 310 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 4: Braylan Allen was my RB nine. So they were there 311 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 4: right there and like you were setting up there. They 312 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 4: are similar ish in the utility that you would use 313 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 4: him for in the NFL. With Isja Davis, I compared 314 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 4: him to Tyler l Jeer you have the power and 315 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 4: the contact bounds and he's super patient and then he's 316 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 4: like he has this upright running style. He's sort of unique. 317 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 4: It's like a slalomy thing. You know, he's waiting, waiting, 318 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 4: and then that's how he changes the angle of the 319 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 4: guy coming in on him to force it from a 320 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 4: flush tackle attempt to the off angle thing. And he 321 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 4: was playing in the FCS. He was the belkow for 322 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 4: the colossus South Dakota State team that just just rolled 323 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 4: over everybody, and when defenders would have an off angle 324 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 4: on him sometimes it was like in the cartoon where 325 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 4: they run into the side of the mountain and they 326 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 4: just peel off down on it. Like Ija Davis's contact 327 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 4: bounds with the power he runs with is so nice. 328 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 4: The receiving utility, I'm not really sure with him. I 329 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 4: know that Brailan Allen doesn't have any of that. Brailan 330 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 4: Allen is your classic Wisconsin hammerback who was miscast in 331 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 4: the system that they change into last year under Phil 332 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 4: Longoor is this spread thing and throwing a little bit more. 333 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 4: I compared Brailan Alan six one two hundred and thirty 334 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 4: six pounds to Rashad Jennings. They're very similar, and like 335 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 4: you said, it's a terrible landing spot for both of them, 336 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 4: and then you wonder can both of them make the 337 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 4: roster with what that room looks like right now? 338 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: All right, I've got a few more guys that dropped 339 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: into bad landing spots. 340 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 3: Will highlight them when we come back in just a moment. 341 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: Welcome back, segment number two Fantasy Football Weekly, talking about 342 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: some landing spots that have troubled us for a variety 343 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: of different players. It's been all running back so far, 344 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: and I got an all of it for you. 345 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 3: Will Shipley ends up in Philadelphia. 346 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: He was a fourth round selection by the Eagles. He's 347 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: going after the word right now, pick thirty seven in 348 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: non superflex rookie drafts. So a lot of people have 349 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: the same concerns I have because they signed Saquon Barkley, 350 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: and then of course you got Kenneth Gamil in there. 351 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: Philly always uses that rotation runners, and to top everything off, 352 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: anytime the balls inside the five yard line, the easy 353 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: touchdowns are getting swept up by Jalen Hurts. So a 354 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: lot of things working against Will Shipley here. 355 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, So the situation he heads into, that's problem one. 356 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 4: Here's problem two for me. The issue is Shipley's evaluation 357 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: is he's never going to be his NFL team's best 358 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 4: early down runner. He wasn't that at Clemson. That was 359 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 4: film offa. So for Will Shipley to have NFL utility, 360 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 4: it has to be on the passing downs, and then 361 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 4: he has to offer it on special teams as well. 362 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 4: He can return, He categorically cannot pass block, which means 363 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 4: that the utility on those passing downs it has to 364 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 4: come as a receiver. Well, here's the issue there. In college, 365 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 4: he never brought one yard flat per route run and 366 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 4: he dropped five balls the last two seasons on the 367 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 4: dump offs around lineup scrimmage for it. Yeah, people went 368 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 4: nuts about him because he was the five star recruit 369 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 4: and he's five ten two oh six and he tested 370 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 4: as a ninety seven percentile athlete. I did not see 371 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 4: it with Will Shipley. I I don't know how long 372 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 4: he hangs on that roster of Philly. 373 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: All right, that's that's that's some damning stuff right there. 374 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: Next we switch over to the wide receiver position. Donnie 375 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: Mitchell ends up in Indianapolis second round pick, currently going 376 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: off the board pick fourteen and non superflex rookie drafts. 377 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 3: But the problem is the competition, right. 378 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: So you know, Michael Pitman's great Josh Downs looks promising. 379 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: Alec Pierce hasn't panned out as hoped, unfortunately, but he's 380 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 1: still in the mix a little bit here. There are 381 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: some things to like about Mitchell. Not a big bodied guy, 382 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: but you like the acceleration, his fluidness, he plays with. 383 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: He plays with some swagger and some nasty to him 384 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: that I like. Uh, but this is a it's a 385 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: tricky landing spot with a young quarterback who's effectively on 386 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: a reboot of his rookie season. What are your thoughts 387 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: on a Donnie Mitchell in this landing spot with Indianapolis? 388 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 4: So I spent all the spring arguing with people about 389 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 4: a Donna Mitchell because they were you know, he's a first, 390 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 4: He's got the ceiling of a superstar in there. You 391 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 4: just have to assume a little bit of risk if 392 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 4: you take him. My take on him was the exact 393 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 4: opposite that inverted. I think he is a lower ceiling 394 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 4: guy who has a high floor. I thought he was 395 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 4: sitting dead red on the evaluation as your prototypical pop 396 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,479 Speaker 4: the top NFL wide receiver two, where the opposing defense 397 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 4: has to keep a safety high on that side of 398 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 4: the field, which has the effect of helping the spacing 399 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 4: of the other players on the field. The guys who 400 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 4: could tell you about this are Xavier Worthy and Jatavian Sanders, 401 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 4: who benefited from that extra spacing of having a Donna 402 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 4: Mitchell on the field. But he doesn't. A Donna Mitchell 403 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 4: does not win in the intermediate area. He doesn't win 404 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 4: in the short area. The reason for that is he 405 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 4: can't change directions without telegraphing. Yet he's not a good 406 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 4: rout runner. But he also just doesn't have agility period. 407 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 4: What he is is a size speed super free. He 408 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 4: has the four wheel four to three four I'm sorry 409 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 4: wheels ninety eight percentile broad jump. But I mentioned before 410 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 4: or a little bit slower of that ten yard split, 411 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 4: which was equivalent to Jalen Kulkers, Yeah, who ran a 412 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 4: four or five to seven. It was also a co 413 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 4: equivalent to Jalen polk Rana four or five two. He 414 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 4: needs some grass in front of him to get to 415 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,959 Speaker 4: top speed. But what he offers for Indianapolis it is 416 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 4: that popped the top boundary guy on the one side, 417 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, mister Alec Pierce. This is the end of 418 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 4: the stuff for your Donna Mitchell has been brought in 419 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,719 Speaker 4: to take your job, but with a DONNAE. Mitchell. As 420 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 4: far as the NFL fantasy utility, which is what we're 421 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 4: here to talk about, it's this, he either hits dingers 422 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 4: or he strikes out right. It was that case the 423 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 4: entire time in Texas at Donna Mitchell last season on 424 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 4: awesome passing offense, he finished with thirty five or fewer 425 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 4: receiving yards in half of Texas's game seven to fourteen 426 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 4: couch thirty five or less. Thirty five or less. 427 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: By the way, this guy's got guillotine disaster written all 428 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: over him. 429 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 4: Yes, I mean, you have to choose right, right, And 430 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,239 Speaker 4: then he went so, then how did he get all 431 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 4: the stats that he got, Well, he went over one 432 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 4: hundred and forty yards twice and he cracked one hundred 433 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 4: yards in a third. In those three games, he averaged 434 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 4: sixteen point six yards per catch. When he is not 435 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 4: hitting balls out of the yard, he's striking out and 436 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 4: he's a non factor outside of force in the defense. 437 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 4: To keep that safety high on his side of the field. 438 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: All right, another receiver in a tricky landing spot. Jacob 439 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: Cowing ends up going in the fourth round to San 440 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: Francisco picked forty three is where he's going in non 441 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: super flex rookie drafts. 442 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 3: So there's not a lot of people that like him here. 443 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: He's small, He's five eight, one hundred and seventy pounds. 444 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: He's a track star guy. He plays in the slot primarily, 445 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: and unless Deebo Samuel leaves, I don't see a pathway 446 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: for Cowing getting a lot of playing time here. 447 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 3: In an ideal. 448 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: Scenario, he can be tanked del in a really good offense. 449 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: But I think a lot of things have to drop 450 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 1: into place here for him to get onto the field. 451 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Jacob Cowing San Francisco. 452 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 4: You said it, there's been all the trade rumors with 453 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 4: the top two San Francisco forty nine er receivers. I 454 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 4: think Jacob Cowing is going to need chaos there with 455 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 4: both of them probably getting pushed out to have at 456 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 4: least early on utility when that probably is not going 457 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,479 Speaker 4: to happen. He's an interesting evel in that you were 458 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 4: mentioning the size five to eight one sixty eight, which 459 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 4: is the thing that reminds you of Tank Dell and 460 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 4: he has four three eight wheels. Early on in his 461 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 4: career at Utup, Jacob Cowing destroyed the Conference USA. He 462 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 4: was like a killer down there and he won down 463 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 4: the field. But then it was interesting the last couple 464 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 4: years he goes to Arizona and he's playing next to 465 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 4: a guy that charge one year from right now, we're 466 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 4: gonna be sitting here talking about a whole heck of 467 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 4: a lot TETAROA McMillan, who is going to be a 468 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 4: top tenser. 469 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 3: McMillan is a. 470 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 4: Absolute monster a right people watch Arizona this coming season. 471 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 4: This kid is amazing, but he's going to be a 472 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 4: top ten, top fifteen at worst pick on next season. 473 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 4: But Cowing was playing next to him. McMillan got everything 474 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 4: down the field. They turned Cowing into a close to 475 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage type guy. It was that that 476 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 4: was all the stuff. It was the quicker timing concepts. 477 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 4: So Cowing's a doots plummet to eight point four and 478 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 4: six point seven the last two years. Now he still 479 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 4: got pounded with a ton of targets. But again McMillan's 480 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 4: getting all the downfiel, so Cowen getting all the short stuff. 481 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 4: I was hoping when when Cowing went to the Senior 482 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 4: Ball that he was going to harken back to his 483 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 4: usage at start winning down the field more. I didn't 484 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 4: see it as much with him. He was getting pushed 485 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 4: around a little bit. It wasn't the same thing that 486 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 4: I had seen with Tank Dell the year before, when 487 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 4: Tank Dell was destroying everyone and no one. Everyone started 488 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 4: wanting to tie their shoes in the one on one. 489 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 4: The defensive backs when they get the up front of 490 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 4: the line, they're like, oh, no, coach, I gotta go 491 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 4: and get some water. Now let him go. It wasn't 492 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 4: the same thing with Colling. I saw one rep where 493 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 4: cam Hart, the kid from a Notre Dame who's like 494 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 4: six foot two and a half and two hundred ten pounds, 495 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 4: he was staying with Jacob Cowing in the intermediate range, 496 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 4: just staying in his hip pocket. So and then Jacob 497 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 4: Cowen got injured on the last day at the Senior Bowl. 498 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 4: He has ability and he can separate. His separation rates 499 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 4: have been very good throughout his career. But you're you're 500 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 4: wondering about the body type and then going to the 501 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 4: next level. But it is a good in terms of 502 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 4: San Francisco. If if stuff clears out ahead of him, 503 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 4: that's what he's going to need to have that utility 504 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 4: early on. 505 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: We've got just another minute here. I want to I 506 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: want to ask you about this, and we limited our 507 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: focus here to just from rounds two through four, basically because. 508 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 3: These are good players, promising players. 509 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: But I want to hit you with the one first rounder, 510 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: Rock Bowers, the oddball landing spot. I don't think an 511 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: anybody saw the Raiders coming as your as the landing 512 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: spot for brock Bowers. I would have assumed the Raiders 513 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: are traded out of the spot or they'd have done 514 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 1: something else because they put that high second round pick 515 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: and the first tight end taken in last year's draft 516 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 1: in Michael Mayer. So you know it's an oddball spot. 517 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: What do you think about brock Bauers And do you 518 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: feel like this. 519 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 3: Bowers is awesome? 520 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, but do you think this slows 521 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: the progression a little bit or changes your outlook fantasy 522 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: outlook on brock Bowers having fallen to Las Vegas. 523 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 4: Not at all maybe a little bit for Mayor, although 524 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 4: they can play on the. 525 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 3: Field like Daggers may right, but they can play. 526 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 4: On the field at the same time to see the 527 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 4: way that that shakes out. But no, not for Bowers. 528 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 4: I'll tell you why. Brock Bauers walked into Georgia when 529 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 4: he did their receiving court, they had George Pickens, they 530 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 4: had Donnie Mitchell, they had lad Conky, Kiris Jackson, and 531 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 4: Marcus Rossomi Jack Saint. They had all these NFL guys. 532 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 4: Then in the tight end room, they had Darna Washington, 533 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 4: NFL tight end. Yeah, their starting running back was James Cook, 534 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 4: an awesome man, pass right guy on So he was 535 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 4: there for three seasons as a true freshman. He leads 536 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 4: the team in receiving. Was there clear wide receiver, which 537 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 4: is pretty crazy wide receiver one. I'm putting that in 538 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 4: bunny quotes. And then it was a first team All American. 539 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 4: He did it again the next two seasons. What's so 540 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 4: crazy about that. It's not just that he shoved aside 541 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 4: all these different NFL guys to assent immediately to become 542 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 4: the number one guy for that. It's it's coming right 543 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 4: out for these teams that were dominant. Georgia won the 544 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 4: national title when he was a true freshman, but he 545 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 4: was clearly their best offensive weapon. They did it again 546 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 4: when he was a sophomore, and they may have done 547 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 4: it again last year if brock Bauers hadn't gotten nicked up. 548 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 4: People don't talk enough about that. The middle of the season, 549 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 4: he gets injured, anyone else in his position shuts it down. 550 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 4: He wanted to come back as fast as he could 551 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 4: to try to give Georgia a shot for the three beat. 552 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 4: He did tight rope surgery, this emergency tight rope surgery 553 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 4: back for the end of the season. He was not 554 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 4: one hundred percent when he came back. They end up 555 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 4: Georgia ends up losing a close decision to Alabama in 556 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 4: the SEC title game. They didn't get that shot. Despite that, 557 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 4: Guess what, brock Bauers led the team in receiving again, 558 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 4: even though he would played ten games and he was 559 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 4: compromised most of the time. Not only that he was 560 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 4: amazing on the running concepts, They would do different stuff 561 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 4: with him, bring him into the backfield. During his career, 562 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 4: nineteen carries over three seasons. Those went for one hundred 563 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 4: and ninety three yards. Five touchdowns. That's over ten yards 564 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 4: per carry. Kirby Smart, who is not a man known 565 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 4: for hyperbole, one of the best coaches we haven't college football, 566 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,479 Speaker 4: probably the best right now, said that if Georgia had 567 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 4: shifted brock Bauers two running back when he was on campus, 568 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 4: he would have been the best running back that they 569 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 4: had to. 570 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 1: Brock Bowers his size as a running back exactly. 571 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 4: It's just incredible, his vision, the agility, of course, the 572 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 4: speed he can take it to the house there and 573 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 4: he's the tackle break and berserker guy, you know, even 574 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 4: better than Senate of course, and even better than Laportovs. 575 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 4: So with him, people think about because you have to 576 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 4: call him and just with the position designation, so in 577 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 4: their head they start to evolte Kyle Pitts. It's different 578 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 4: with Kyle Pitts. He was the big guy that you 579 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 4: send down and the team and that was the utility. 580 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 4: So that's dependent on other players on the field. Brock 581 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 4: Bauers is dependent on nobody else. He is idiot proof. 582 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 4: I heard people tossing on Oh, their offensive coordinators are dope. 583 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. He's going to make that guy and 584 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 4: he's gonna make Gardner Minshew look like a better quarterback 585 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 4: than he has by far, because all you have to 586 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 4: do is just shuttle the ball off to Tobauer short. 587 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 4: He will take care of the rest, just like he 588 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 4: did throughout his career, from the day he stepped foot 589 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 4: onto those Colossus Georgia teams for in the middle of 590 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 4: their dynasty. 591 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, how about that? 592 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: It's all right, So you made me feel better about that. 593 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: Right now, he's going off the board in dynasty drafts 594 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: at pick eight. I'm thinking to myself, Okay, wait, I 595 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: mean is I don't think it's I don't think it's 596 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: unfair to say if I had to put one player 597 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: in this draft to go to the Hall of Fame, 598 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: I would I would pin my hopes on brock Bowers. 599 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's fair. 600 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: Right, So okay, I have to start a tie down. 601 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: We always know every year there's about six good ones, 602 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: and sometimes there's even less than six good ones. 603 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 4: Right. 604 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: I don't understand why brock Bowers is going pick eight 605 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: right now in fantasy drafts. And it's still early, but 606 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: I think it'll change. But what are we missing here? 607 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 4: You get an immediate four or five step head start 608 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 4: on your opponent every single game. Now you have Brock 609 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 4: Bowers in your tight end slot against whoever that guy has. 610 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 4: I mean that that's what it's going to become. It 611 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 4: might be a little bit into the season when when 612 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 4: the usage starts to get I mean when they find 613 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 4: out really like okay, when Minshoo's like every single you know, 614 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 4: between him and Adams. But that's where all the usage 615 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 4: is going with that and with Bowers, it's going to 616 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 4: be the short intermedia and then again you can shift 617 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 4: them into the backfield, do cool things with him around 618 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 4: the goal line, speaking to the fantasy thing. He can 619 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,959 Speaker 4: run the ball in, he can He's absolutely comfortable doing that. 620 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 4: We saw that at Georgia in very high leverage spots. 621 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 4: The Raiders are going to see this immediately. The Raiders 622 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 4: juice their passing game way more with one slot later 623 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 4: than their division rival did. Take in a cornerback one 624 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 4: spot higher than they did. 625 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, well, all right, you maybe feel a lot 626 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: better about Brock Powers. 627 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 3: I love the kid. 628 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: Didn't love the landing spot as much, but you know, 629 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 1: we don't have a great quarterback. We got Gardner Minshew's okay, 630 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: and then the Michael mayerth thing. But you've you've You've 631 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: got me totally energized. 632 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 4: Now now I'm in Gardner Minshew's gonna look better than 633 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 4: competent with rock powers. 634 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: It could be, it could be he might turn into 635 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: a sneaky fantasy starter. I think he could. He could, 636 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 1: I think he could. All right, thank you, my man, 637 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: great job, Thank you.
