His his ADP is going to 23 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: go way, way up. I believe we'll find out. We'll 24 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 1: talk more about it in a few minutes. 25 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: I can't tell if that's satirical or no, that's not 26 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 3: at all genuine. All right, good, No, not at all. 27 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: This Sam Donald right now is one of my five 28 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: to ten favorite sleepers across all positions because I believe 29 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: he will start more most of the season, and he's 30 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: got a really nice opportunity with the talent around him 31 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: Jordan Addison, a pass catching running back, and Aaron Jones. 32 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: While I'm stealing your your bullet points, so I won't 33 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: do that. 34 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 3: Okay. I love hearing someone else brace Sam Donald for once. 35 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: I feel like I'm a one, one man army on Twitter. 36 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 3: That's not true. There is a nice The Sam Donald 37 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: Hive is growing by the day. People are starting to believe. 38 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: So well, okay all day with Sam Donald, stef charge. 39 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: That's fine. So let me just set up well, let's 40 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: jump right into Sam Darnald. But let me just set 41 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: this up as we talk through our favorite last picks 42 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: of your draft. First, you got your guy has to 43 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: be going in the fifteenth rounder. Later, that's an ADP 44 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: of one hundred and seventy five or beyond. And I 45 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: think critical to this discussion is at this stage, all 46 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: of these players have wards. I mean, we're gonna make 47 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: a case for these guys, and you might be listening going, well, 48 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: what about this and what about this and what about this? 49 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: And sometimes we'll acknowledge that stuff, but we're talking about 50 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: round fifteen guys. So you know, none of these players 51 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: do not have question marks. They all do. To me, Brian, 52 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: I'm looking at one of two angles. Can this guy 53 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: just be like a consistent, if not splashy performer who 54 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: can help me in a bye week or a short 55 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 1: term injury replacement situation, or does he have some special 56 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: traits that could allow him to really emerge this year? 57 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: Is this guy really you know, there is there something 58 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: about this guy where he hasn't performed at this point, 59 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: but then these traits are gonna kick in and the 60 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: opportunity is gonna kick in and he could he could 61 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: emerge and have a great year. And I've got a 62 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: couple of both category guys, but let's start with Let's 63 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: start with Sam Darnold, your choice at quarterback for Round fifteenth. 64 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: Or later is adp last I saw he was going 65 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: off to board it like his quarterback, like thirty three 66 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: deeper than there are teams in the NFL. 67 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd be thirty four to be exact. Now, let 68 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: me preface this again. What I'm about to say is 69 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 3: no knock on JJ McCarthy. Whatsoever weve JJ McCarthy. He's 70 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: got a lot of potential, probably very bright future in 71 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: the league. But we're talking solely the twenty twenty four 72 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 3: season on this podcast, and right now JJ McCarthy is 73 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: going is you be twenty five in underdog draft, which is. 74 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: That he may not start a game this year, So yeah. 75 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 3: And if he does, it's what they're gonna start. Nick Mullens, 76 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 3: excuse me over JJ McCarthy earlier in the season if 77 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 3: they have to. Sam Donald is hurt. So anyway, love 78 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 3: Sam Donald in the last round. Right now. First, let's 79 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 3: talk about the situation in Minnesota. You kind of touched 80 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 3: on this very past friendly system. Kevin O'Connell runs the 81 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 3: Vikings ranked third and passing play percentage last year. As 82 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 3: you said, they have the best wide receiver in football 83 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 3: under a fresh new contract in Justin Jefferson alongside him, 84 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: alongside him as Jordan Addison one of just six wide 85 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 3: receivers to record double digit touchdowns last year, it should 86 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 3: take a big step in his second season. Of course, 87 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: t J. Hockinson gonna miss some time, maybe all season. 88 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 3: That stings a little bit, but an exciting arsenal for 89 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 3: Sam Donald, who will be the quarterback oneen heading into 90 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 3: camp and into the season. Ye, Kevin O'Connell's still sort 91 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,559 Speaker 3: of using some kind of you know, quarterback competition between 92 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy, but that's all smoke screen. You can look 93 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 3: at DraftKings sportsbook. Donald's now minus two seventy to take 94 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 3: the first snap for the Vikings. So that's gonna happen, 95 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 3: whether some Vikings fans like it or not. But they're 96 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 3: just gonna have to accept it. And really, those who 97 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 3: have accepted it are a lot of them. I'm gonna say, 98 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 3: they're just like, Oh, Donald's gonna start, and he's gonna suck, 99 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 3: and then he's gonna, you know, give way to JJ 100 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 3: McCarthy after they're bye in week six. I don't think 101 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 3: it's gonna be the case. 102 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: It's possible. 103 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: I believe that. 104 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: Would be the earliest to me that would be the 105 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: earliest scenario where JJ McCarthy makes a start. 106 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 3: Now we all know it's easy to say Sam Donald sucks, 107 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 3: he sucked in his career, But to me, that's a lazy, 108 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 3: ignorant take. You just have to go back and look 109 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: at the history of this poor kid's career, who, by 110 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 3: the way, he entered the league as the startest young 111 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: the youngest starting quarterback in NFL history at the time. Yeah, 112 00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 3: still might hold that record. 113 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: I thought a great I think he might. And let 114 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: me mention this about that he made a big mistake 115 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: coming out when he did. He came out after his 116 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: sophomore year, after two years of starting at USC and 117 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: they were good years. They weren't even great years, they 118 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: were just good years. And that was on darnold he 119 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: came out. I think, you know, granted, he he got 120 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: selected with the third overall pick in the draft, so 121 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: you know, he made a ton of money and he 122 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: read the tea leaves correctly that there would be a 123 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: lot of interest in him. But he wasn't ready yet, Brian, 124 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: and he came out too soon. And I think part 125 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: of your case is that his last couple of years 126 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: sitting out as a backup effectively has probably given him 127 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: time to mature into the role. 128 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's been through hell and back and it started. Yes, 129 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 3: he came out to early and he didn't have any 130 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 3: control about getting drafted by the Jets, but unfortunately he did. 131 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 3: In his tenure there, he was primarily coached by Adam Gase, 132 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 3: one of the worst head coaches in NFL history, at 133 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 3: least this century, no longer in the league. 134 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: That can. Can I expand on that for a second. 135 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: I did a lot. I did a big thing on 136 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: Sam Donald on the radio about a week ago, and 137 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: so I'm all prepped up on this. Here. Let me 138 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: tell you about the coaches he's worked with, head coaches 139 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: and offensive coordinators in the games that he in the 140 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: times he's had to start, so not counting San Francisco 141 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: last year when we only played a meeting this week 142 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: eighteen game, Todd Bowles, his head coaches, Todd Bowles, Adam Gase, 143 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: Matt Ruhle, Steve Wilkes. His offensive coordinators Brian name these guys, 144 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: where are they now? Jeremy Bates, Dowell Loggins, Joe Brady, 145 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: Jeff Nixon, Ben McAdoo. As a group, those offensive coordinators 146 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: and head coaches. One of them is in the league today. 147 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: All the rest of them are out out of the league. 148 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: That's right, Todd Bowles. He's the only one that has 149 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: a job in the NFL today, isn't He doesn't That 150 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:56,679 Speaker 1: say a lot? 151 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 3: It does. And he was Donald's Bulls was Donald's which 152 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 3: is a rookie year, a defensive guy. You and he 153 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 3: got fired after Donald's rookie season. So he did the 154 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 3: one you know, one head coach that at any legitimacy 155 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 3: to his name anyway, head coach's coaching situation the nightmare 156 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: his receiving options throughout his career. These are the top 157 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: receivers he's dealt with, Robbie Anderson, now Robbie chosen, Jameson Crowder, 158 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 3: Chris Herndon, Quincy Unna. 159 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, DJ Mooreman DJ Moore in Carolina. He's a legit receiver. 160 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 3: But that's number one. 161 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: But that's it. But that's it. I mean, you know, 162 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: the rest of the receivers he's had to throw to 163 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: have been Sam for Sam Donald have been bad. 164 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 3: And lastly, I'll say the pass blocking, how his offensive 165 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 3: lines graded starting his rookie year. But with the Jets, 166 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 3: then with the Panthers, this is my pro football focus 167 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: U pass blocking. Again, they're ranked twenty second, twenty eighth, 168 00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: thirty first, twenty eighth his first four years in the league. 169 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 3: So again I think he's got and he's got some 170 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 3: mobility too. He's an athlete a little bit. People don't 171 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 3: know that. No, he has some wheels. Could have played 172 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 3: college basketball if you dig deep enough into his past. 173 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 3: So he's that much of an athlete. So anyway, Sam 174 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 3: Donald a freebie in the last round. If he doesn't 175 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 3: work out for him, you cut him, you drop him, 176 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 3: pick up someone else. But I think he's an ideal 177 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 3: backup candidate and fantasy football, especially if you pay up, 178 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 3: you know, payout for quarterback with one of the premium 179 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 3: guys like Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, someone along those lines. 180 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 3: Love Sam Donald in the last round has a ton 181 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 3: of potential in this offense. I'll shut up. I like 182 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 3: hibout him for at least today. 183 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: But here's I'm gonna make my case against Donald and 184 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: again because I've I've done all this research on him 185 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: and I'm and I'm still saying draft him in round 186 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: round whatever, seventeen, that he's going in so I'm not 187 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: even I would absolutely take him there. But here's your 188 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: case against Donald Way. Too many picks, even for a 189 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: young quarterback with bad blocking and lous and receivers good 190 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: not great, but just like good quarterbacks throw about half 191 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: a pickup per game, Sam has basically double that. He's 192 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: fifty six picks in fifty six starts. Too many interceptions 193 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: have plagued him in college, plagued him in the pros. 194 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: That's something that's got to get better, and that could 195 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: shorten his timeline as a starter. You know, you throw 196 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: a bunch of picks in the NFL, and you know 197 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: the least gets real short not nearly enough touchdown production. 198 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: And this is very siline for fantasy. Again, good not 199 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: elite quarterbacks, just good quarterbacks average about to a game. 200 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: Sam has just sixty three touchdowns in fifty six starts. 201 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: He's barely one touchdown per game. So that part's not 202 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: numbers aren't great. 203 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 3: And is deep. 204 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: Passing particularly bad? Here is this? Here are his PFF 205 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: ranks as a deep passer for Sam Darnold in his 206 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: five years getting starts thirty fourth. Again, there's thirty two 207 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, thirty fourth, thirty first, thirty sixth, 208 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: twenty ninth, and twenty eighth. He has just fifteen career 209 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: touchdowns of more than twenty yards and again, fifty six 210 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: NFL starts, just fifteen touchdowns of more than twenty yards 211 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: struggles under pressure. Here's his completion percentage ranks under pressure, 212 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: Thank you Pro Football Focus thirty fifth, twenty eight, thirty second, 213 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: twenty fourth, and thirty first. He's played. I mean, what 214 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: you can't what you can't, well, you can't get around. 215 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: Donald's played some bad football. You just don't know if 216 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: it's because of the surroundings, the position he's been in, 217 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: or if it's because he's not a very good quarterback. 218 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: And this is gonna be the first time to find out. 219 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, he deserves some blame, for sure, but I do 220 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 3: give him the benefit of the doubt for a lot 221 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 3: of bad a lot of bad play around him, and 222 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: a lot of bad tutelage coaching that he's had. But 223 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 3: I again, he's been through hell and back, so I'm 224 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 3: excited to see what he can do with the vikings. 225 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 3: I'm gonna close with this angle or more angle? All right, Well, 226 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 3: i'd won more on Sam darld Okay all right, real quick, 227 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell's cut by the New York Jets on hard 228 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 3: knocks in front of the whole world. Do you not 229 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 3: think that Kevin O'Connell wants to take Sam Donald as 230 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 3: a reclamation project, turn him into the all pro quarterback 231 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 3: he was meant to be blue chip prospect and just 232 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 3: shove it right back in the Jets face and say 233 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 3: look at us. Now. I know it was a whole 234 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 3: different regime at the time Rex Ryan was licking feet 235 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 3: and all that, but still, Kevin O'Connell has so much 236 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 3: spite in his heart. 237 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: He might be licking feet now. We don't know that. 238 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: You probably could be a lot of right this minut 239 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: he might be. 240 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 3: He's probably got diamond these days. This there's a bunch 241 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 3: of foot liquors. But anyway, all right, I'm done with Donald. 242 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 3: There was like the whole podcast we could probably no kidding, 243 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 3: Holy cow, Sam Donald, baby, all right, my last pick 244 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 3: of the drafted quarterback. And I considered Russell Wilson here 245 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 3: going off the board as QB thirty I believe, or 246 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 3: thirty one. And because you know, Russell Wilson, he finished 247 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 3: from weeks eight to from weeks eight to sixteen. Last year, 248 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson was QB eight eight in a bad situation 249 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 3: which his team was trying to actively bench him. 250 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: So I liked him. But the problem is he goes 251 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh and it's the Arthur Smith problem, right, and 252 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: I don't the wide receiver group in Pittsburgh looks really unappealing. 253 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: So I decided not to go to with Russell Wilson. Here, 254 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 1: I'm going Bryce Young pick one ninety five in Best 255 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: Ball Round seventeen. Brutal last year. But as we broke 256 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: down when we did the Panthers full we did the 257 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: offseason recap for the Panthers a couple of weeks ago. 258 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 1: Remember another first overall pick, Trevor Lawrence, looked unfathomably bad 259 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: with a bad coaching staff in his rookie year. The 260 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: team Nukes's coaching staff brings in receiving help, brings in 261 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: better coaching, and then Trevor Lawrence rebounded really nicely. Maybe 262 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: Bryce Young's got that in him. Look at all the 263 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: help Bryce Young is getting. The Panthers spent their entire 264 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: offseason putting tools around Young to succeed, starting with new 265 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: head coach Dave Canalis, who has that history of reviving 266 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: the careers of underperforming quarterbacks Gino Smith, Baker Mayfield and 267 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: both those guys, you know, they turned around so well 268 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: that they got new sizeable contracts. You know, they came 269 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: into their teams on like one year prove it deals 270 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: and they walked away with sizeable new contracts. 271 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 3: Dave Cannils, you remind me of someone too, by the way. 272 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: Sam Donald, by chance, and we get just who are 273 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: we going? Back to Sam Donald? Back to Donald. The 274 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: Panthers traded for Deontay Johnson, so they've added a solid receiver. 275 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: Adam thelem remains fine, if non explosive at this stage 276 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: of his career. They're both solid hands, guys who are 277 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: going to catch what's thrown to him them. The Panthers 278 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: poured first, second round, and fourth round picks into this offense, 279 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: including the marble mouthed Xavier Lagette, bringing vertical speed to 280 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: the table, something Thelan and john and don't have. He's 281 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: the guy who is got the big, enormous upper body, 282 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: the thick build and then runs a four to three 283 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: nine forty. I mean that guy is bringing He is 284 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: bringing a totally different skill set to that receiver group 285 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: and maybe Xavier Laget's gonna be very good. And they 286 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: improved the interior offensive line. They've got a new left guard, 287 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: right guard, and center, and last year they were the 288 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: twenty seventh best pass blocking unit, so they needed to 289 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: get better there too. And the Panthers ad drafts to 290 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: all that stuff. And then lastly, for Bryce Young, Fantasy 291 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: Pros has Carolina tied for the easiest strength of schedule 292 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: in the entire league for quarterbacks? Bryce Young? Round seventeen, 293 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: your backup quarterback. It was brutal last year. Doesn't have 294 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: to be brutal this year. 295 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 3: What do you think, Brian, Yeah, I like it, actually 296 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 3: not lying. I ran into Bryce Young yesterday. I walk 297 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 3: around the Panthers stadium all the time, walk my dog 298 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 3: and I saw him in a said what's up, Bryce? 299 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 3: And he said, I can't sign for you? And I said, 300 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 3: I didn't ask that. God, I'm glad you said that. 301 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: But what does it say that he feels like he's 302 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: he's gotta cut that off. That's too bad. 303 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a little too bad. But I'll tell 304 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 3: you what. In person, he look smaller than he doesn't. 305 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 3: But I'm pulling for him, and you know Jonathan Mingo too, 306 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 3: who knows, maybe he could. He's a second year wide 307 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 3: receiver too. But like you said, it can only they 308 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 3: bolstered the talent around him. It can only get better 309 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 3: for Bryce Young definitely worth a last round flyer. 310 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: I like to pick all right, who is your last 311 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: round of your draft? Running back? Brian. 312 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 3: I've I only recently discovered this guy a couple of 313 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 3: weeks ago, and I'm I'm really excited about his prospects, 314 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 3: and I'm I'm pretty much addicted to drafting him in 315 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 3: Best Ball right now. And that's Rashene Alie, who was 316 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 3: RB seventy one right now on Underdog Wow. Pick two 317 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 3: fifteen is his ADP. And uh, if you don't know 318 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 3: who Rashien Ali, he's a ali Is. He's a backup 319 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 3: running back for the Baltimore Raven is now a rookie 320 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 3: out of Marshall, selected in the fifth round in this 321 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 3: pass draft. Likely would have been selected sooner, but he 322 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 3: tore his bicep at the Senior Bowl, so he didn't 323 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 3: play in that game. He wasn't able to test at 324 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 3: the Combine. His his stock certainly took a hit as 325 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 3: a result, but he was he was participating in OTAs 326 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 3: recently somewhat limited, but he will be full go when 327 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 3: training camp starts in late July. And when he does 328 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 3: or when, sorry, when it does, I think Rashin A 329 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 3: Lee has a great shot of winning the backup running 330 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 3: back job behind Derrick Henry. He's really just competing with 331 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 3: Justice Hill right now. Everyone probably remembers Keaton Mitchell from 332 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 3: last year, but he's all but guaranteed to start going to. 333 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: Miss at least sometime. 334 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, probably at least half the season. So I'm 335 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 3: excited for the prospects for Rashin. Ali has three down potential, 336 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 3: great initial speed and a second burst, so he's capable 337 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 3: of a lot of explosive plays, as evidenced by his 338 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 3: seventh play fifty plus yards last year that led all 339 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 3: of the FBS. He has good power in the gaps again, 340 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 3: three down potential. He can catch, he can pass protect. 341 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 3: I know Baltimore is saying they expect a huge workload 342 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 3: for Derrick Henry, but I'm not buying it. You know, 343 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 3: the Ravens, they have Super Bowl aspirations. They're not going 344 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 3: to get there by running Derrick Henry into the ground 345 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 3: throughout the regular season in the playoffs, and he is 346 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 3: north of thirty years old, thirty one, thirty two years old. 347 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 3: So right now I'm putting all my bets on Rashein 348 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 3: Ali and carve out some standalone value. But if something 349 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 3: were to happen to Derick Henry, rashin A Lee could 350 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 3: be your starting running back in one of the most 351 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 3: electric offenses in the NFL, and your your casual fantasy 352 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 3: football player has no idea who he is right now, 353 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 3: so a name to keep your eye on. I'm very 354 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 3: bullish on Rashein Ali right now at very low cost. 355 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got some some nice athleticism to him. He 356 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: was in Bruce Feldman's Freaks list right which is always 357 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: a good sign. Five foot eleven, two hundred pounds, so 358 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: he's got the physicality where, you know, if if he 359 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: needed to take over some of Derrick Henry's typical reps, 360 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: maybe even at the goal line, Rashin Ali interesting. 361 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 3: I meant to bounce him off Thor really quick, see 362 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,239 Speaker 3: what he thought. But I'm just gonna pretend Thor likes 363 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 3: him tall. 364 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: Oh I heard that? Oh yeah, Thor loves Thor loves 365 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: him absolutely for sure. Oh good, Yeah, we'll just assume 366 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm on Broncos running back Julia McLoughlin currently go after 367 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: board ADP one's seventy five running back fifty three in 368 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: round fifteen. He plays for the Denver Broncos. You may 369 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: remember him from last year. At this stage of the draft, 370 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: I'm looking for guys who can show some kind of differentiator, Brian, 371 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: something special that can put them on the field frequently, 372 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: even if even if it's not like super consistent, but 373 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: enough where they're like demand. The skill set is there, 374 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: they just have to get playing time. And McLaughlin can 375 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: be a thrilling runner. He's dynamic, he's elusive, he's fast. 376 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 1: Let me give you some stats from last year rookie year. 377 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: McLaughlin finished third among all running backs in PFF's elusiveness ratings, 378 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: and he would have graded out as the number one 379 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: player the year prior just based on his grade, which 380 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: was I think one hundred by their rating system. His 381 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: breakaway run percentage was twenty eight percent, fifteenth best in 382 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: the entire league, and Jalil McLoughlin finished as Pro Football 383 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 1: Focuses thirteenth ranked running back thirteenth. We're getting him off 384 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: the board at running back fifty three and by the way, 385 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: he can catch eighty six percent catch rate last year, 386 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 1: zero drops last year. 387 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 3: McLoughlin's the closest. 388 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: Thing Sean Payton has to Alan Kamara if he wants 389 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: to put if you honest to get Alvin Kamara back, 390 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: McLoughlin's his guy, and I'll tell you who it's not. 391 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Javonte Williams for a minute. Man, did 392 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: he looked mundane last year coming off the knee injury. 393 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: Maybe he's never maybe gets better second year off the 394 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: injury and that happens sometimes, or maybe this is just 395 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: who he is now. I mean some guys never come 396 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: back from it. I mean look at Gus Edwards for example, 397 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: never really the same guy. JK. Dobbins, never really the 398 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: same guy. You know Williams last year I mentioned McLoughlin 399 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: finished Pro Football Focuses running Back thirteen. Brian, you want 400 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: to guess for Javonte Williams finished RB forty one, fifty six, 401 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: fifty six. They only did like four more guys qualified 402 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: to get a grade. That's that's how bad Williams was 403 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: last year. And let me give you more date on Williams. 404 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 3: Then, I'll let you jump in the steam. He might 405 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 3: not even make the team. Yeah, I've heard. 406 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: I've seen some of that speculation on Twitter. I mean, 407 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: I can't rule it out. 408 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 3: Get this. 409 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: Per next Gen stats, Williams finished dead last in rushing 410 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: yards over expectation at a full yard under expectation. He 411 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: was second to last in percentage of runs to go 412 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: over expectation. It's bad. Samaj p Ryan's still there, but 413 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: he's not really a factor at all, averaging three carries 414 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: and three targets per game. The Broncos did draft Audric 415 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: Estimate in the fifth round, and he was productive for 416 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. He was a bigger, bodied, bully guy with 417 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: some vision ability to cut, but very different runner. FM McLoughlin, 418 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: who brings you some really special traits that I don't 419 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: think anybody else has got in this backfield. I love 420 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: him at round fifteen ADP one seventy five, Jalia McLoughlin. 421 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 3: I'm with you a great value and a pounce. Pounce 422 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 3: on him while you can, because that ADP is should 423 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 3: to rise as you get closer to August two. I think, 424 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 3: no doubt. 425 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: Let's go to the wide receiver position. Who's your last 426 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: round of your of your draft wide receiver. 427 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 3: I'm going with Detroit's Khalif Raymond. Right now, his ADP 428 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 3: on a dog is two hundred and twelve. That's good 429 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 3: for wide receiver ninety three. I think he's very, very 430 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,239 Speaker 3: undervalued in one of the one of the offenses that 431 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 3: projects to be one of the most pass friendly in 432 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 3: the league this season. Everyone fixated on Aman Ross, ain't 433 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 3: Brown and Sam Laporta in the passing game for Detroit, 434 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 3: and rightfully understandably, yes, understandably so there should be enough 435 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 3: balls to go around for the Lions. Yes, Jamison Williams 436 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 3: people are predicting a breakout year in what will now 437 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 3: be his third season, but what if that doesn't come 438 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 3: to fruition? And even if it does, Kaliff Raymond still 439 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 3: poised to be a starter in three wide receiver sets 440 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 3: with Josh Reynolds now in Denver. But Jameson Williams turns 441 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 3: out to be a one trick pony, which he kind 442 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 3: of has looked like so far in his career. We 443 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 3: could see an extended snapcount for Khaliff Raymond, who last 444 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 3: year averaged two point zero seven yards per route run, 445 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 3: which is a very strong number that put him top 446 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 3: twenty four among wide receivers, and it was a better 447 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 3: clip than the likes of Jamar Chase, Davante, Adams, DK Metcalf, 448 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 3: George Pickens, and Michael Pittman. In terms of yards per 449 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 3: route run. Raymond also averaged more than six yards after 450 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 3: the catch per reception. That's something only seven other wide 451 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 3: receivers were able to do among wide receivers who saw 452 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 3: at least forty targets. So Raymond super efficient. And again 453 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 3: and what should be a high flying offense, it's playing 454 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 3: like fifteen of their seventeen games in a dome this year, 455 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 3: something like that, which you gotta love. And Jared Goff 456 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 3: has nothing but good things to say about Khaliff Raymond says, 457 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 3: it's been invaluable to have him. He can trust him anytime. 458 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: A little don't you think, Well, it's a little. 459 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 3: Bit he's pep, you know, he's pumping him up a 460 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 3: little little bit. But uh, rightfully, So they're gonna be 461 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,479 Speaker 3: They're gonna be leaning on Kalif Raymond more than they 462 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 3: have in the past with Josh Reynolds gone. And if 463 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 3: something were to happen to Sun God or Jameson Williams 464 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 3: or Laporta. Even Cliff Raymond could be a seven eight, 465 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 3: nine target per game. 466 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: Guy if those guys go down. Yeah, and even when 467 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: they don't, Kalif Raymond could be a spot starter in 468 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: some situation. 469 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he could be you know, that safe four 470 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 3: to five catch per game guy that gives you that 471 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 3: double digit PPR floor, which is all you need for 472 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 3: a guy you're drafting with the two hundred and twelve 473 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 3: to overall picks. So, Kleiff Raymond, I'm clicking on a 474 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: lot in the last round. 475 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: I like it. I'm going to Arizona wide receiver Michael 476 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: Wilson currently ADP won seventy seven round fifteen wide receiver 477 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: seventy eight off the board. Hollywood Brown gone in Kansas City. 478 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: So Wilson walks into the starter's role opposite Marvin Harrison. 479 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: He's got the advantage of having a year and Drew 480 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: Petsing's offense. He knows the offense and the terminology everything else. 481 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: And remember Wilson is you know, it wasn't like he 482 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: was a total schlub. You know, he's a third round 483 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: draft pick last year. So they have some legit draft 484 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: equity in him now. Michael Wilson struggled with terrible quarterbacking 485 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: in the beginning of the year. Then he had a 486 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: shoulder injury right in the middle of his rookie year 487 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: and that sapped like six seven weeks right out of 488 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: the middle of his season. But then at the end 489 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: of the year he finally gets healthy and Kyler Murray 490 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: is then the quarterback and in the final two games 491 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: of the year, Wilson scores a touchdown and then posts 492 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 1: ninety five yards in the final game of the year, 493 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,479 Speaker 1: So we started to see a little end of season 494 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: kick for Michael Wilson. Just one drop all of last year, 495 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: which is promising. Wilson can be a downhill threat. He 496 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: finished with the eighteenth deepest a dot among all wide 497 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: receivers and had a healthy fifteen yards per reception, which 498 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: is very good. Yeah is he He's got to compete 499 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: for targets with Trey McBride, who's turned into a target hog. 500 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison is going to be very good. Greg Dortch 501 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: is there too, but that doesn't matter a lot. Michael 502 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: Wilson Round fifteen with competent quarterback and an offense that 503 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: got a lot better as we've As we've mentioned many 504 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 1: times this offseason, Cardinals offense came to life in December, 505 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: averaging twenty five points per game at the end of 506 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: the year when nobody was paying any attention to Cardinals football. 507 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: So there's a little something there for Michael Wilson as 508 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: a sure starter in an offense that might be better 509 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: than people think. 510 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no doubt. And he's certainly not going to 511 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 3: be seeing any double teams for the top corners in 512 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 3: any game. Yeah, I'm excited about the Cardinals offense as 513 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 3: a whole. Kyler Murray dark horse QB one candidate, just 514 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 3: to go off off track a little bit, if he 515 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 3: stays healthy with Harrison now and McBride and Wilson and 516 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 3: his obvious rushing potential. 517 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: To be one like as a starting quarterback in fantasy 518 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: football or the top scoring quarterback in fantasy. 519 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 3: Offense score stop top scoring quarterback has that potential, has 520 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 3: the profile playing for a team that's not great on 521 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 3: defense either, probably a lot of positive game scripts he was. 522 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 3: Murray was one hundred and fifty to one on FanDuel 523 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 3: to win Offensive Player of the Year, and I've put 524 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 3: quite a bit of PiZZ of money on that, considering 525 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 3: on other sites, he was like fifty sixty to one. 526 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 3: He's got the I don't know why I'm talking about 527 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 3: Kyler Murray right now, but I love all the Cardinals, 528 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 3: and Michael Wilson one of them. 529 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. I like betting on improving offenses, and 530 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,719 Speaker 1: this is one of them. And I don't mean betting, 531 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: I don't mean betting cash. I just mean fantasy wise. 532 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: I like I like buying low. I did it, you 533 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: did it on a bunch of Houston players last year. 534 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: This is this is an offensive that looks like it's 535 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: going to be a lot better for sure. Let's take 536 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: a break, and when we come back, let's get in 537 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: our final, our final sleeper guys, beginning beginning with one 538 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: that well, I don't even I don't actually, I don't 539 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: even know who your sleeper tight end is. 540 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 3: Do I you know? You know I bring the goods 541 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 3: on sleeper tight ends. Jeish, I got a good one, 542 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 3: come good. 543 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: And I've got a long time favorite that I think 544 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: is set to finally do great things. We'll find out 545 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: who the Aaron Moments. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

I'm excited 551 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: to get back and the Guillotine frame of mind, it's 552 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: gonna be a fantastic season. We've got a bunch of 553 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: new stuff coming. Oh can't wait. Chop Podcast check that 554 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: out as well. All right, last pick of your draft, 555 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: and you need a tight end. Maybe it's probably not 556 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: your first tight end off the board, but you need 557 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: a backup for whoever you took in the whoever your 558 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: first tight end was. Who are you looking at here? 559 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 2: Brian? 560 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 3: I like, uh, this guy Definitely you want to start 561 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 3: the season as a backup, but he could have starter 562 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 3: potential as the season wears on, hopefully not too long 563 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 3: into the season. And that's the rams Colby Parkinson formerly 564 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 3: of the Seahawks. We'll talk about that a little more 565 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 3: in the second his former team, but right now, Colby. 566 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: Barby Parkinson, you say, wowkay off the board as tight 567 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: end thirty two, pick two fourteen overall. Wow. 568 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 3: Most people when they think of Rams and tight ends 569 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 3: in recent history. 570 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: They think of Tyle Tyler Higbee. 571 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 3: Right, yes, but Higbee tore his ACL and MCL in 572 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 3: the playoffs last year, so he most certainly will be 573 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 3: starting the season on the pup list, probably won't even 574 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 3: play another snap for the Rams. Sadly, I think his 575 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 3: time might be up. I don't think he sees the 576 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 3: field this year. So enter Colby Parkinson. Free agent Colby Parkinson, 577 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 3: who la signed to a two year deal with fifteen 578 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 3: million and guarantees. That's that's starter money right there for 579 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 3: Colby Parkinson, who is six seven, two hundred and fifty 580 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 3: two pounds and ran a four eight. 581 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: Forty Wow col right, I did not realize. 582 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 3: That he is an athlete. And Parkinson was stuck in 583 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 3: a three tight end platoon with the Seahawks previously with 584 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 3: Noah Fant and Will Dislay, so no tight end could 585 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 3: stand out in Seattle's old regime. That should change this year. 586 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 3: I do like Noah fan do'll throw that out there 587 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 3: real quick. But sticking with Parkinson, he appears to be 588 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 3: the guy for the Rams, who have utilized their tight 589 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 3: end heavily under Sean McVay and last year Parkinson proved 590 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 3: to be a receiving threat went on the field. He 591 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 3: took more than or at least half of his snaps 592 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 3: in the slot or out wide. So you know, we 593 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 3: love Puka Nakua. Cooper Cup supposedly healthy again, but Cup 594 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 3: is up there in age, could get hurt. So there's 595 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 3: not a lot of receiving depth behind Nikouah. There's DeMarcus Robinson, 596 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 3: but not a lot of size, especially with two two 597 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 3: at well as what they're fourth wide receiver. So Colby 598 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 3: Parkinson a guy I'm targeting as my tight end two 599 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 3: in later rounds, So keep your eye on Colby. He 600 00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 3: could surprise a lot of people. 601 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: That is some deep, deep stuff right there. But you 602 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: want the Rams starting tight end in the what'd you say, 603 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: round twenty twenty five, something like that last pick of 604 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: your draft, the Rams starting tight. 605 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 3: End, and you get your two revenge games baked in 606 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 3: per years. 607 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, and yet we know how you 608 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: love that. 609 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 3: Well little bonus. 610 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: Longtime listeners already should know where I'm headed with my 611 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: tight end with the last pick of your draft, Indianapolis's 612 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: Jilannie Woods, my guy ADP selection two hundred and fourteen 613 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: tight end twenty eight, Round eighteen for Jilanni Woods. You've 614 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: probably heard me talk about him before. Tragically, you know, 615 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: I was talking about him at this time last year, 616 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: but then amstring injury sidelined him for the entire season. 617 00:32:53,440 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: So here's a refresher. An elite size speed freak athlete. 618 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: He is six foot seven, two hundred and fifty five pounds, 619 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: came out of Virginia two years ago. Do you know 620 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: what his RASS ranking was, Brian, you happen to recall 621 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: for Jelanni Woods athletic score? 622 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 3: Yes, probably off the charts. 623 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: That would be a perfect ten out of ten in 624 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: the history of the RASS looking at one thou ten 625 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: tight ends, he's number one with the highest relative athletic 626 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: score of all time in the thirty five year history 627 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: of RASS testing. So he's fast, he can get open downfield. 628 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: Jolnni Woods. Then after the catch is a complete mismatch 629 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: because he's got these cornerbacks that are trying to tackle 630 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: a six foot seven, two hundred fifty five pound guy 631 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: where they're giving up a foot in fifty pounds. It's 632 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: a big, big mismatch. He's also excellent blocker that could 633 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: keep him on the field. He was a goal line 634 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: target in college, scored eight times his senior year alone, 635 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: and Jelanni Woods only needs to beat out the middling 636 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: talents of Moli Cox Kylon Granson for playing time. They're 637 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: not athletically, they're not even in the same ballpark. I 638 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: want to try Johnny Woods, see if this is the 639 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: big third year tight end breakout coming. We know that 640 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: happens a lot, the third year tight end breakout. He 641 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 1: missed the season, so it's kind of like a second 642 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: but yeah, maybe this is it all comes together for 643 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: Johnny Wood and in round eighteen. Yeah, that's my guy, 644 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: Johnny Woods. 645 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely worth a flyer in the last round. Deserts 646 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 3: to be going a round or two sooner based on 647 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 3: his potential. Yeah, Moli Cox, Kylon Grantson, they've had their 648 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 3: they've had their chance when when Woods has been hurt. 649 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 3: So hopefully Wood stays healthy and the Colts just let 650 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 3: them play. 651 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 1: Let that kid play. Absolutely. 652 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, we brought the beef for tight ends. Parkinson's six ' 653 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,919 Speaker 3: seven too. Yeah, how about that. 654 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: That's amazing. I didn't think there was another six to 655 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 1: seven tight end in. 656 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 3: The league being either. I remember he didn't play much 657 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 3: obviously Woods last year, but when he was on the field. 658 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 3: Remember watching one Colts game, it might have been the 659 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 3: Vikings game when the Vikings came back like thirty three 660 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 3: nothing but Woods this like dwarfed all the offensive linemen 661 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 3: in the huddle. You're like, who yeah, yeah. 662 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: The tight end. That's their tight end streaking down the seam. Yeah, 663 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: he's uh, he's gonna get this at his size six 664 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: foot seven, two hundred fifty five pounds. He was a 665 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: quarterback in high school and the beginning of college quarterback 666 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: six seven, two point fifty five. That's that's unreal. Toilanni Woods, 667 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: my love affair continues. It's not. It's not abating now, 668 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: I can tell you that much. Not in around eighteen, 669 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 1: that's not. 670 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 3: Can I throw out a quick bonus tight end? 671 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah please do. 672 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 3: Empire players and another guy I just kind of heard about, 673 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 3: and this is uh, you know, this is a future play, 674 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 3: probably not coming into play this year, but keep your 675 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,279 Speaker 3: eye on Jared Wiley, who is uh looks to be 676 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,280 Speaker 3: the backup tight end now for the Chiefs. Rookie Jared 677 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 3: Wiley out of Texas Christian University getting rave reviews and 678 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,240 Speaker 3: basically getting comped to Travis Kelcey, a young Travis Kelcey, 679 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 3: and he's obviously learning behind Travis Kelcey right now. And 680 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey's expiration date so year or two. So Jared Wiley, 681 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 3: if you're looking for a tight end to stash in 682 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 3: Dynasty or Empire leagues, that's the name you want to 683 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 3: keep in mind. 684 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 1: Other guys I considered Damian Pierce can't. But I can't 685 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: bring up his name anymore, right, So I can't. I 686 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: couldn't officially go to bat for Damian Pierce, and he 687 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: had a bad season. But all YES to do is 688 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: give I Joe Mixon. Dude, is Joe Mixon is so cooked, 689 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 1: so cooked, he's got nothing left. What do you think 690 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:55,919 Speaker 1: of Ray Davis? Yeah, Buffalo's back presumed backup running back 691 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: behind James Couk. 692 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. I remember when we did the team previews, I 693 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 3: had the Bills and James Cook. I believe that the 694 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 3: Bills had twenty rushing touchdowns and James Cook had two 695 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 3: of them, right, right, So it's Josh Allen is the 696 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 3: guy that they need someone other than Josh Allen to 697 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 3: be the guy at the goal line. And that's not 698 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 3: James Cook. And uh yeah, Ray Davis, why not Why 699 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,240 Speaker 3: I liked him? Just beat James Cook outright. 700 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know that he's as good as James Cook, 701 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: but he's not that far off. You know what he's got. 702 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 1: He can do a little of everything, which you have 703 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: to do with the bills. You have to be able 704 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: as a running back. You have to be able to catch, 705 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: you got to be able to pass, protect, you gotta 706 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 1: do a little of everything, and he's got those trades. 707 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: Thor thinks that Ray Davis is good at a lot 708 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: of things, not special at any and he doesn't think 709 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 1: he's got huge upside. But again, last pick of the 710 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 1: draft kind of territory I like. I like the Buffalo 711 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: running back Ray Davis. 712 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 3: Yeah. Buffalo went very run heavy in the second half 713 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 3: of the season last year, and that looks to be 714 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 3: the case this Yeah. 715 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, given the receivers, right, Kean Coleman and Curtis 716 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: Samuel and Khalil Shakir. I mean they've got to go 717 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 1: run heavy, don't they. And you know they're not gonna 718 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: run James Cook into the ground because they never do 719 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:09,319 Speaker 1: their running backs that way. 720 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Davis. 721 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go all right, thanks for thanks for listening. 722 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: Everybody appreciate getting to the end of the show. We'll 723 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,399 Speaker 1: we'll be back next week, and I can't I think 724 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: I know what we've got coming next week. To have 725 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: it in front of me, darn it, I don't have 726 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: I don't have the topic in front of me, but 727 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: I think it's already all planned out. 728 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:29,760 Speaker 3: It'll be riveting. 729 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, God, it's gonna be It's gonna be so good. Oh, 730 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: you know what it is. Matt Harrison wants to talk 731 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 1: about now that do the opposite is just normal drafting, right, 732 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 1: this is it's become so widely accepted. Matt wants to 733 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: talk about, at what point do you undo the opposite? 734 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: At what point are running backs such particularly such big 735 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: values that you have to move on them. So we're 736 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,919 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna h that next week, and that'll be fun. 737 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: And I'll give me a chance to uh, give me 738 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,280 Speaker 1: a chance to chat with him a little bit about 739 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: that and and defend might do the opposite, which I'll 740 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 1: usually do. But there's a point of which I you know, 741 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: there's a point in which I'll take running backs to 742 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 1: if a guy falls far enough Christian McCaffrey's looking at 743 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: me in the second half of the first round him 744 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: and you're thinking real hard about that. 745 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that's gonna be happen. 746 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. An it's not gonna happen in 747 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: any of them. But should he be the first pick 748 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: in a guillotine draft, you might want to listen to 749 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 1: the Chat podcast for that and more.
