WEBVTT - First Round DEEP DIVE 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:05.880 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly 0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:11.680 source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. All right, 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:15.800 what's up, everybody, Welcome back, very exciting edition of Fantasy 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.160 Football Weekly coming at you with your host John Lageza 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:23.240 and my good pal in yours, mister Jake Trobridge. We're 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:25.160 fresh off the NFL Draft. 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:26.520 How did it go for you? 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:30.960 I mean, I lived to tell the tale that I 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.159 got out at the other end of this draft. There 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.160 was ups and downs. It was it was a roller 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.479 coaster ride. Not really, I mean part of it was. 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:40.919 Some of it was like the most expected stuff that 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.960 you could ever expect, and some of it was pretty wild, though, John, 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.640 I will say, especially some of these middle picks that 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:48.920 we're going to talk about here today. Uh, some of 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.440 the weird trading that happened. I wasn't fully prepared for 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:55.000 all of it, but I enjoyed it. You. 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.440 Yeah, I was doing a draft stream. We're kind of 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.240 trading back and forth. It was a lot of fun 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.760 to see how these markets move and just how much 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.880 one how much uncertainty there is, and to how you know, 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:10.800 how unpredictable and even the most accurate mock drafter probably 0:01:10.840 --> 0:01:14.280 gets I don't know, twenty five percent of these picks correct, right, 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.880 Nobody even gets all thirty two of the humans correct, right, 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.240 So forget landing spots. So it's a lot of fun 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.160 and felt the guests, my jets did okay, there are 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:24.640 always the point of consternation. 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:25.840 We'll get into them in a little bit. 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:30.000 You did us the solid of kind of mining all 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.959 the Fantasy Relevant offensive picks. We're gonna go through them 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.240 in order as they came off the board yesterday, and 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.440 then Fantasy Impact we've got adp We're gonna talk some 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.039 depth charts where these guys fall and how we're gonna 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.600 attack them. So at any further Ado was mister Fernando Mendoza. 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:50.520 Before I could bet on the Raiders not taking him, 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.240 they had snatched him right up. I just all right, man, 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.840 you know what I thought, if any team might have 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.120 been one percent crazy enough to do it, it would 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:02.200 have been the Raiders. Put it was after the Cousins, right, 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.120 so they had to kind of address it, and I 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.600 thought maybe that was them telegraphing if we don't take it, 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.359 we don't want to ride in the streets. 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:10.840 At least we actually have a quarterback. 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.000 So Mendoza we talked about, we know you're not too high, 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.359 when do you think he's under center? I think that's 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:18.040 a good question. 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.040 That's what's so hard about this, and it was it 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.560 was very expected. I was also hoping for a last 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.240 minute trade, just for the drama of it all. We 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.560 didn't get that, and that's fine. But I do think 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.680 the issue with Mendoza for a redraft is exactly that 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.720 I don't know when he's gonna start. I mean, reasonably, 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.720 you could say like maybe week five. I guess if 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.120 we're basing this off of what happened last year with 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.760 say the Giants, because there is kind of a similar 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.560 issue with Jackson Dart although he was taken much later 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.920 in round one, but they had Russell Wilson, another old VET, 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.119 and he just didn't know. I would say the earliest 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.480 is week five, but it could be. I mean, it 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.160 could be week ten. It might not be until Kirk 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.480 gets hurt or they just bail late in the season 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.840 because they're out of the playoffs. I don't know John, 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.720 but that's what's keeping me from wanting to draft him 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.600 at a hall in redraft. I think we talked about 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.120 this you're a little bit more okay, perhaps with the 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:16.360 risk if he goes late enough in drafts, right, yeah, for. 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.960 Fantasy rights, putting the puzzle together because you can't rely 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.360 on him early on. Mendoza makes a good pairing for 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.639 a sure thing quarterback. Right if I got a top 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.040 five QB and now I don't want to overlever myself 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.000 spend too much draft capital at the position. Mendoza feels 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.840 like a piece that if there's an injury or maybe 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.000 you give him some time to mature. Jake, I love 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.560 all those comps. They're all, like most every analysis, very 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.640 much grounded in reality. They're all really smart. The problem 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:46.960 isn't the difference with the Giants. I had to check 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.280 to myself, like I knew this. The contract to Raiders 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:56.320 gave Cousins five years, one seventy two. I just don't 0:03:56.440 --> 0:04:01.880 get how that's sympo contract. It's even yeah, it's it's 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.800 a lot of money, and it's pretty long for a 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.360 guy that's not only old but coming off a downswing. 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.920 So it's like a lot of very confusing stuff. Again, 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.280 you can't always rely on the Raiders to be too rational. 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.640 We could put a bow on this Venosa right now 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.760 is going off the board as the QB twenty eight 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:26.000 ADP one seventy seven. So again I think, whether or 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.919 not you love it, there are weapons in Vegas, and 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.520 I think you don't have to overpay, and that's always 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.039 kind of my key to success, especially with the youth 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.680 in Fantasy. Next up was another one. I mean, I 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.640 wish I had the family feud buzzer that e because 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:43.080 I got them all wrong. 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.159 And you know what, you gotta wear these l's, you know, 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:46.160 el el for Love. 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.800 It was Jeremiah Love. He went to Arizona, which I 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:54.320 thought was a luxury pick. Didn't really make sense. They 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.039 could have moved down, gotten to first rounders for the 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.040 price of one that might actually kind of boost the 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.000 team that went out and paid Tyler Algier. So here 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.159 we have another team at the top of the board 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:11.080 making a pick that they don't necessarily need week one. 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:13.800 I mean, what do you think about Love? To me, 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.760 it's really tough right now, he's the RB twenty seven 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.880 and it's ADP seventy two, so it's not like you're 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:24.320 really paying up what you are drafting him quote unquote 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:24.880 as a starter. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:29.160 Yeah, this wasn't just a luxury pick. This was this 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.440 was egregious to be for the Cardinals to take him. 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.760 You had premier defenders, you had offensive linemen available, which 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.880 they desperately need, and both of them are gonna help 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.080 your team a lot more than this admittedly extremely talented 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.480 running back. So I think they drafted the player that's 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.080 gonna help them sell more jerseys rather than help them 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.000 win more games. So I'm not a fan of it 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.479 from their perspective, but from a fantasy perspective, which is 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.880 all we really care about, I'm still fine with it. 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.960 Wherever he went, save for I don't know a hand 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.839 full of spots, he's going to be the guy. It's 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.839 just a matter of how helpful is the rest of 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.960 the team going to be and getting him to like 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.320 top ten status on a week to week basis, because 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.280 right now he's somewhere between Bijon Robinson and Ashton Genty, 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.000 like Bijeon Robinson in terms of if you want to 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.120 look at how much workload he's gonna get, it's it's 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.200 probably just that, like move aside, James Connor, You're not 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.800 gonna be relevant in this backfield, Bye bye, Trey Benson. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.840 You might be traded before the season starts, and so 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.440 it's probably gonna be like those Falcons backfields of the 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.479 last few years, ironically also having Tyler aljear in it now, 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.240 so Love is going to be the Bijon Robinson to 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:45.440 Tyler Algiers. Tyler Aljier, I guess this poor guy. But 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.120 from an efficiency standpoint, the old line's still bad as 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:51.200 of right now. We're recording this on Friday before round two, 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.520 so maybe they addressed the old line more in the draft, 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.760 but as it stands, it's probably an ashton Gent level 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:58.520 of efficiency. 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:00.320 Yeah. 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.720 Wow, when you put that talent cump on him, I 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:07.040 started scrolling to see where alger is right his compliment. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:11.560 Maybe the market anticipated the Love thing. You know, these 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:15.280 markets are sharp because Algier is RB thirty two, that's 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:16.920 pick ninety eight, so both. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.240 Of those are after love. 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:20.400 And man, if you're going to put that type of 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:26.920 talent profile on Love, considering he's still kind of reasonably priced, 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:32.280 knowing they's some uncertainty with his direct threat going even later, 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.000 I think we liked him as a pair. Now how 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.640 effective that offensive line is going to be is another question, 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:44.640 and we've seen it sync supreme talents before. Yeah, so 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.800 I'm worried, right because again these are teams Cardinals in particular, 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:53.360 that defense was so bad that spurned the Jacoby Brissett 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.760 throw fest, right, the forty five drop backs a game 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.880 or whatever we've been getting. Yeah, it was fantasy goodness, 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.560 but it's really death to the run game, to any 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.560 kind of stability in the run game. And then you 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:07.840 have Alger kind of eating up red zone touches. You 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:11.360 know what, These prices probably stick and you probably get 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.040 a good value, especially if you pay him. So next 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:15.800 one was the Titans. This is another one get the 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:19.840 buzzer wrong again, John, where I said, well, the one 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:25.320 thing that Titans don't need or more receivers, right for 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.120 a team that was as bad as they were, that 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.880 position was still I considered it a relative strength. I 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.679 thought i am Anour showed us a lot as a rookie. 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.640 You get growth in through a petition. I thought jamier 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.000 Dk showed us a lot as a special team player. 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.760 And in the slot ability is a number one option. 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.600 And they go out and they drafted Tait, who is 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.160 apparently a freak right now, he's wide receiver forty five. 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:55.840 That's ADP one oh four and he's gonna join Wondale Robinson, 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.640 Calvin Ridley, and then I am Anir and Jamiir DK. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.880 That is quite a lot of mouse to feed again 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.440 with something you and I spoke about Wandale soaking up 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.360 a lot of those layup targets. What do you think 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.199 about Tate? Can you give me this year and then 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.720 maybe even like a Dynasty take looking forward? 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:14.839 Yeah, and that's a good call out. By the way, 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.840 I should quickly mention if you're doing your super flex, 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:22.040 you know, rookie Dynasty drafts, I still have Jeremiah Love 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.200 is my one oh one even in super flex, I 0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.880 have Mendoza's my one o two, just because of positional scarcity. 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.160 And then we get to these wide receivers. Carnal Tate 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.360 is gonna be my one oh four in Dynasty rookie drafts. 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.319 I don't hate it, John, because you mentioned all these 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.320 wide receivers, but none of those guys make me go 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.640 like ah, Carnal Tate can't beat them, you know, no 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.160 disrespect to any of them. I'm a Wisconsin guy, so 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.480 I'll always love DK, especially, but I think he probably 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.720 suits in more naturally as a compliment or as a 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.600 special teams guy, and then you have Wandale as kind 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.120 of like the second in command. But I didn't know 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.880 if any of these wide receivers would step into wide 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.880 receiver one status on the day that they're drafted, And 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.760 that kind of remains true with Tate, like he'll be 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.080 a one A, but Wandell will probably soak up those 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.280 targets and be a one B. So for redraft purposes, 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.480 he's the most pro ready guy, it seems to me. 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.559 So I think you get some comfort from drafting him. 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.640 I don't know that you get a ton of upside. 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:26.920 People are, of course going to be critical of Tate 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.319 because in college he didn't have a ton of production, 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.959 never had a thousand yard receiving season. I get all that, 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.640 But also neither did Lad McConkey, and he finished his 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.960 workie season just fine. So I've tried not to make 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.839 that a big crux of my argument one way or 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.200 the other for these guys. So I don't know if 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.720 it's like Tate versus Mike Evans when we get to 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:51.120 that point and redraft, I will probably take the upside 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.360 of a guy like Mike Evans, but I could see 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:54.560 the argument either way. 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.080 Yeah, Well, Evans might be a tough one. I think 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.080 I want to see that the health situation first. Again, 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:06.520 there's always a game of pricing and value. So Tate 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:10.640 right now is going right after Quentin Johnston, which is 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:16.559 an interesting pick, right before Jayden Reid, and that's right 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.439 around Makay Lemon, who are going to talk about in 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.200 a minute, Josh Downs. 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:20.760 Khalios Shakir. 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.240 I'll tell you again, if you think that talent could 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.400 rain out, and if it's good for the goose, it's 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.160 good for the gander. I don't want to write off 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.760 cam Ward taking that step forward. My problem again is 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.720 I didn't It didn't feel like a wide receiver problem. 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.840 It never felt like a wide receiver problem. Ward through 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:44.320 for five point seven ypa. He took fifty two sacks. 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:48.840 The Titans again have tried to build the interior. Just 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.520 because it doesn't work doesn't mean you need to give up. 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.880 There's a lot of first round picks on that line 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:55.360 in the past couple of years. But just because they 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.839 don't work doesn't mean they're like, oh right, well, maybe 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.880 that's a bad idea. It's the process of the pick 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.240 that wasn't working. I would have been looking to protect 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:07.400 Ward and trying to cultivate those young pass catchers. I 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.200 think Tate will be good, and I guess at one 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.000 O four next to those other players, you could spin 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:16.000 yourself a tail where he's clearly the most talented. But 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.520 the volume and the quality of that volume, and the 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:23.600 contextual environment if anything Tennessee stinks, will always be behind them. 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:25.920 I guess you'll always have that, right, Well, we'll always 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:27.080 have that to share, Jake. 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.480 We'll always have that. Can we quickly note? Though, what 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.040 a win for Tony Pollard and ty j Spears. If 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:35.760 you have these guys like on your die. They avoided 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.400 the Adam bound that was Jeremiah Love, which is where 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:39.959 we were expecting him to go, or a lot of 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.400 people were anyway, So good for them. I don't know 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.520 that I'll be nuts drafting them either, but they definitely 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:46.200 came out winners. 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.400 Yeah, Pollard, it's funny you mentioned that this is kind 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.240 of an interesting topic to either write about or cover. 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:58.280 Would be like the unsung winners of the draft? Right, 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.840 Tony Pollard is quietest winner of the draft. Well, everyone 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.880 is talking about, right, the rookies and the big moves. 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:10.000 It's actually Pollard who was probably suppressed because of the 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:15.040 anticipation that didn't manifest. He now should move up slowly 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:18.600 as people kind of say, wait, he's a starting running back. 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:22.280 There's legit projectable volume there, and he was pretty good. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:27.360 So hey, I guess the fantasy gods closed the door. 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.960 They opened a window. Apparently. 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.600 Next at the number eight, pick this one. I did nail. 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.160 I actually hit this one right on the head. A 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.640 few analysts had talked about this. It kind of made 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.960 sense to me. That was Jordan Tyson. He went to 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:47.240 the Saints. The idea was there's a need for pass catchers. 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.880 They appear to have found what they like beyond the 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.439 center and Tyler Shuck, who I think was very good. 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:54.520 I think people are rough on him as just a 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.240 strict game manager. He started to show us not only 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.319 pass efficiency but the ability to run, which wean his 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.599 fantasy gamers. He's one of my favorite late round quarterbacks. 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.880 They all need weapons. The von Veley might be a 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.600 nice three. He could be a really nice three if 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:13.520 Tyson eats up these inbreaking routes with a lavee kind 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.760 of doing the field stretching. So I'm seeing Jordan Tyson 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.480 wide receiver fifty three ADP one twenty one, And if 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.360 you can't tell me the inflection of my voice, I 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:27.760 am certainly interested because I see positive trajectory and I 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.520 see suppressed costs. These are my favorite things as a 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:31.400 fantasy cheap skip. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.840 That's good to know. I'm going to clock that for 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.560 future reference. By the way, if we're ever in a 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.320 leadue together, I need to know these things about you. 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:37.640 John. 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:42.360 I will say well for you personally, because you called 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.160 this with Jordan Tyson to the Saints. How many games 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.440 are you worried about the injuries at all? How many 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.640 games are you okay with him missing in a given 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.200 year before you go, ah, this guy's not worth it? 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:53.120 What is it? Six'. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:58.800 Ten i've become injury agnostic in my old, age AND 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.520 i feel LIKE i just got the best EVIDENCE i could, 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:03.960 get and it's in the, Past, like let's hold. It 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.960 the last fourteen months of The caldary, Year christian McCaffrey 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:12.200 went over four hundred touches And jacob De gram made thirty. 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:17.000 Starts and the REASON i say that is everybody is 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:21.520 so certain of, injuries who are they're going to affect 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.760 when and? How and we just don't know and then 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.840 SOMETIMES i even make the counter of you could guarantee 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:32.720 me That tyson is going to get, hurt a stone hold, 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.080 Guarantee BUT i would still have the question of. When 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.480 what if it's in the first round of the? Playoffs 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.080 what if, it's you, know In week eighteen after the 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.040 fantasy season is wrapped. Up AND i hate to put 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.120 the negativity out, there but it's a game of attrition 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.720 and injuries are, real So I'M i don't want to 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.120 say him flat out ignoring. It i'm considering this baked 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:54.240 into the price for the, potential AND i JUST i 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:58.240 like The saints as a cheap place to. Invest what 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.520 do you think about? That that part of might take, 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.040 like are you seeing The saints as an arrow up? 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.000 Team And i'm not talking about a top five, offense 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.360 but do you see them trending in the right way? 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.560 Directionally, well that's kind of WHY i, asked because if 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.760 The saints are okay drafting him where they took, him 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.320 THEN i think we should be comfortable with. It, obviously 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.680 they know his injury track record and he did have 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.760 that workout shortly before the draft that kind of said, like, 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:25.440 Hey i'm mostly healthy Now i'm. Good SO i actually 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.880 like the landing spot BECAUSE i do think that there's 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.360 plenty of room for a second pass catcher to emerge 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:34.320 here as a maybe not elite fantasy, asset but somewhere 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:38.280 in that. Proximity And Jordan tyson without the injury, HISTORY i, 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.840 think is the de facto number one receiver for most. 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:44.960 People So New orleans threw the ball at the fifth 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.520 highest rate in the league last. YEAR i think part 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.400 of that is because there were also backfield, struggles to be, 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:54.800 fair But Kellen moore's offenses do this. Historically he has 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:58.040 pass heavy offenses when he has the healthy personnel to 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.520 get that. Done so maybe this is a lash back, 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.560 to you, Know Kellen moore's days In, dallas Where Ceedee 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.840 lamb And Amari cooper were both kind of. Thriving to some, 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.480 EXTENT i still Think Chris olave is the number. One 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.000 he's less. Exciting probably in your, drafts you're probably gonna 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.200 get bigger boom weeks out Of, tyson, though. 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.720 YEAH i think, yeah for, ME i totally agree With 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.480 lave is kind of a clear. ONE i, think you 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.040 know WHAT i think is the the unherlded loser. 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.040 Here is Probably Juwan. 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.720 Johnson if you remember back to the end of last, 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.960 year there was an unreal amount of volume going through 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:35.000 him just out of. Necessity, yeah SO i think that 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.119 shifts to are gonna it has to be a Healthy. 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.560 Tyson but where we're drafting, him, YEAH i think if 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.640 you're getting a high talent load with AND i don't 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.160 want to be galaxy braining is too, hard but there's 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.000 a lot of times WHERE i like a young player 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:51.119 to step into A b role and not THE a 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:55.040 role where you need to beat the most elite corners 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.800 in the toughest. Routes like let's get him on the 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.880 second best corner in somewhat right where he can kind 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.600 of be shifty and maybe slant over the. Middle, AGAIN 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.040 i love these high probability, routes AND i also love 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.000 the home environment for the, scenes, RIGHT a lot of 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:11.920 indoorsed offf in that division. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:13.320 Also all, right so. 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:16.680 Before we turn this into The tyler you Know shakastan, 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.440 podcast because he's like if you could google By niam 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.680 and his name And mike froto to the. Ring last, 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:28.680 year our, Fates our fates resigned Mister. Troubridge all, Right next, 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:30.560 up it Was, okay this had to be the shock 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.960 of the. Draft OBVIOUSLY i took a huge l on this, 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.760 one both betting in markets and then also as A jet. 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.240 FAN a few people hyped me up that it would 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.400 be The New York jets coming down with Quarterback Ty. 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:49.359 Simpson he goes to the very Competitive, rams who have 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:54.760 an agent quarterback who heals in. Spaceships, Apparently i'm Just 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:56.960 i'm just telling you what we. Know i'm just talking 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:01.359 what we know about, This and the cherry on top 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:03.359 WAS i don't know if this is. 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:04.920 TRUE i didn't hear it out of the horse's mouth. 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:08.320 BEFORE i understand that McVeigh and him hadn't spoken, yet 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:10.960 SO i DON'T i don't know how much of this is. 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.080 Real maybe The rams, are you, know working us a 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:16.920 little BIT ww. Style i'm not one hundred percent. Sure 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:19.239 so what do you take on the? PICK i, mean 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.200 there's so much to so many. ANGLES i don't even 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:22.600 want to rally right. 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.760 NOW i don't get. It what what? Happened what did 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:29.080 they Draft Ty simpson for spare parts For Matthew stafford 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.800 in case he does break? DOWN i don't. Know part 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:35.399 of because bad saying THAT i also kind of. FEEL 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.399 i almost feel bad For simpson because he's about to 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.679 become the most heavily scrutinized player in the league and 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.360 he didn't do. Anything he just got. Drafted but every 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.600 single game he doesn't, play every misstep that him or 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:49.960 the organization, makes it's gonna be AND i told you 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:53.640 so moment for anybody who's criticized the, pick which includes. 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.879 Myself but ALL i could think when they made this 0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:00.199 pick was, like they must really hate Mackay lemon over 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:03.000 there because he was still on the. Board The rams 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:06.080 Have DeVante adams at age thirty, three they Have, pucinacua 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.359 who is you, know a, walking talking time bomb off 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.520 the field at this, point and then you draft a 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:14.879 quarterback who has started one season in college that almost 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.440 never pays, off almost never the. HISTORY i, MEAN jj 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:22.040 McCarthy to The. Vikings different. Situation admittedly a lot of 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:25.560 people LIKE jj, McCarthy but there are questions and then you, go, 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:27.600 well he's with The, vikings so it's all gonna be. 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.639 Fine With kevin, O'Connell it hasn't been fine. Yet Anthony 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:32.920 richardson to The, Colts Trey lance to the forty nine, 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.879
