1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: The most valuable commandity I know of is information. Wouldn't

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: you agree to.

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 2: One out five dollars?

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: This is a regular level happing a table kite. You're

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: saying that humans need fantasy to make life bearable.

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: Humans need fantasy to be human.

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: My goodness, less good, prone, best, relentless, refusing to give up.

Speaker 1: Hey how are you?

25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: I'm doing fantastic.

26
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: I'm a huge Steelers fan, so honored to be discussing

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: rookies for the AFC, specifically. I've got my Steelers T

28
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 3: shirt on. I'm ready to talk exclusively about George Pickens.

29
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: I think that's why I've been contacted for this podcast. Right,

30
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: We're just talking George Pickens over and over.

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: Yes, And when I said five minutes per that can

32
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: be on average of course, like we could spend twenty

33
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: five minutes on George Pickens, if that's how you would.

34
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: Like to show.

35
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: Did you grow up in the greater Pittsburgh area?

36
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: So I grew up just about like an hour outside

37
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 3: of Pittsburgh. I've been a little bit all over the place.

38
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: I lived in Cleveland, I went to school in Cleveland,

39
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: stayed there for a couple of years. I've been in Miami,

40
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 3: but I lived in Pittsburgh most recently before just moving

41
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: to Houston. I'm like a globetrotter, is what I'm just

42
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: realizing now as I speak on this podcast. But I

43
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 3: lived in Pittsburgh for a number of years pretty recently

44
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: here love the city, but I did.

45
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: I grew up like halfway.

46
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: Between Cleveland and Pittsburgh, and so growing up it was

47
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: absolutely fascinating because you know, like you go to stores

48
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: like department stores and stuff, and I'll have the gear

49
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: for like the local teams. You would literally go to

50
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 3: these department stores and it's a split fifty to fifty

51
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: down the middle, like there's a brown section and a

52
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 3: Steelers section, which I feel like was the most unique

53
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: experience growing up because there's not a lot of places

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 3: that can have like two teams that close together.

55
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: So it was it was fun.

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: But I fell on the Steelers side, and I'm I'm

57
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: happier for it for sure.

58
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: That is so funny. So my boyfriend is an insoftable

59
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: Cleveland fan, in softwabl like the worst it's in. You know,

60
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't actually follow the NFL as closely as me,

61
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: but like you know who does right between us that

62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: like work in the industry. But yeah, he'll just like

63
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: ask me casually, like are the Browns going to win

64
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl this year? And I'm like, no, they're not.

65
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's a lot of Steelers hate here. He

66
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: actually like I'm like redoing this like backdrop, and he

67
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: wants to put like a Brown sat on the back

68
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: and I was like.

69
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't know.

70
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: I don't I don't have anything against the Browns, but

71
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not a Browns.

72
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: Fan, so I'm not going to do that, you know

73
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: what I do think, Like, I mean, again, as somebody

74
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: who's been like a little bit all over the place,

75
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: love Pittsburgh so much, I love the city of Cleveland too.

76
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: You've got to hand it to Brown's fans who are

77
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: just the most loyal human beings. When I lived there

78
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: before the Baker Mayfield era and it was like Deshaun

79
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: Kaiser and just like Cody Kess like, it was just

80
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: like a bunch of garbage. And to see the fans

81
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: that would show out every single week, it was phenomenal.

82
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: So like, bhudos to Browns fans because they've been putting

83
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: up with a lot for a really long time and

84
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: never gave up hope.

85
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: And I mean, we've seen it work out for the Bills.

86
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 3: Who knows what's in store for the Browns at this point,

87
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: but you.

88
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: Got to give it to their fan base.

89
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: Because they are some of the most loyal people you'll

90
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: ever meet.

91
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: I get that. And he's got this whole thing against

92
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: fair Weather fans, specifically the Golden the Golden State Warriors

93
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: right now, just because, like you know, it's been so

94
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: hard in Cleveland for so many years, and I get that.

95
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I know their fan base is interesting and

96
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: there are certainly worst fan bases out there, so yeah,

97
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: kudos to them for sticking it out. So, as I

98
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: mentioned in our previous episode, this list of wideouts is

99
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: just so long. It was such an amazing class we

100
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: are gifted for. You know, it is such a gift

101
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: for us as fantasy people. So we had to split

102
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: this into two. So we are tackling these seven AFC

103
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: wide receivers drafted in the first or second round. So

104
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: we're going to kick it off with Garrett Wilson, who

105
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: went to the Jets. Jets. I'm gonna first ask Landing

106
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: spot grade and I want to I want you to

107
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: give me something between an A and F for each

108
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: sort of team slash player accombination. The Jets have had

109
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: a top four pick in four of the last five drafts,

110
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: have not had a winning season since twenty to fifteen.

111
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: Do they get an automatic f for you in terms

112
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: of landing spot.

113
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: No, I actually think I think this is the year

114
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: that the Jets turn it around. I'm actually a really

115
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: big fan of sort of what they're building, how they've

116
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 3: put their team together. I think they've done a really

117
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: good job of rebuilding specifically over the last two years.

118
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: I think they have the right coaching staff. I mean

119
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: TBD on the quarterback situation. I think Zach Wilson definitely

120
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: has a ton of potential if they put the right

121
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: weapons around him. And I think that Garrett Wilson was

122
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: one of the most pro ready prospects among all of

123
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 3: these wide receivers and was my wide receiver two coming

124
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: in ahead of the draft.

125
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: Still my wide receiver too overall in this class.

126
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: But I think all of the weapons that they've put

127
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: into this Jets offense, between like Bryce Hall and like

128
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: Corey Davis, who's like a you know, an.

129
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: Actual solid wide receiver.

130
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: Three at this point, they've got Elijah Moore, who was

131
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 3: one of my favorite prospects last year. I'm actually going

132
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 3: to give this landing spot like a. I'll say like

133
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: a B plus, and it would be an A if

134
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: there weren't so many question marks about Zach Wilson, because

135
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: that's like the biggest I think this whole thing is

136
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: going to ride or die on whether or not he

137
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: can put together a solid sophomore campaign.

138
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: Fair enough, I mean, so at least he didn't look

139
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: as miserable as Jamison Williams going to Detroit. A lot

140
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: of memes were made out of that. But I mean,

141
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm maybe a little less optimistic. I think my time

142
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: at the Bigger Post has made me a little bit

143
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: sour on the jests, but I'm gonna give them a

144
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: C plus. Obviously. You know this. This is mostly tied

145
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: to my uncertainty with Zach Wilson. I think he just

146
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: needs to make a really significant leap to sort of

147
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: unlock the fantasy stardom for any of his past catchers.

148
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: There is a decent amount of competition, like I really

149
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: did like Elijah Moore last year. You mentioned Corey Davis,

150
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: So I mean it's not like there there's like a

151
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: ton of talent there, but it's a lot if you consider,

152
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, Zach Wilson's prowess at this point. So it's

153
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: just more that I'm taking a little bit more of

154
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: a conservative approach with him as of right now, but

155
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: going into sort of like how you view Wilson as

156
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: a prospect, So you did say he was your number two.

157
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: What makes you so hyped about him at number two?

158
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: For him to be the second wide receiver drafted off

159
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: the board, Like between him and Drake London, who was

160
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 3: my wide receiver one who went to the Atlanta Falcons,

161
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: I just think like it's impossible to go wrong between

162
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: these two. So even if your number one wide out

163
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: here was Drake London like mine was, to get Garrett

164
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: Wilson is at wide receiver two is incredible, not even

165
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 3: twenty two years old yet and just absolutely dominating an

166
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: offense that had a lot of I think overall talent

167
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: when you look at what him and Chris Olave were

168
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 3: both able to accomplish within the same offensive system. I

169
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 3: mean at Ohio State, they've just put out some really

170
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 3: solid wide receivers over the last couple of years. Really underrated,

171
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 3: I think in terms of his speed and athleticism. I

172
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: think Chris Alave got all of the love here for

173
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 3: the forty yard dash, but Garrett Wilson actually came at

174
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: a bit faster four three eight forty yard dash, which

175
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 3: is just incredible for a guy that I don't think

176
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 3: anybody really talks about is like this killer athlete's big hands,

177
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 3: Like this is a guy that I think comes out

178
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 3: just as a solid overall receiver. I think he's he's

179
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:51,479
Speaker 3: able to make those contested catch plays. I like everything

180
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: that he does, and I think he's got all of

181
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 3: the traits. So it really just comes down to will

182
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 3: he continue to grow as a wide receiver. I think

183
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 3: he will, just based on the weapons that they put

184
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: in the offense. But again, everything keeps coming back to

185
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 3: Zach Wilson for me, and what is he going to

186
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 3: do year two? Because he only had two games where

187
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: he put up more than two hundred and fifty passing yards,

188
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 3: not a single game with more than two passing touchdowns

189
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: in his rookie season.

190
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: It was just kind of like a big blue it was,

191
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: and I love that.

192
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: It was like how would I describe Zack Wilson's rookie season,

193
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: Like that's that's a new adjective in my book. And

194
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: like Garrett Wilson, it's just going to come down to

195
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 3: me whether or not Zack Wilson can make the jump.

196
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: And if he can, I think that Garrett Wilson is.

197
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: Enough profiles enough as like an alpha wide receiver one

198
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 3: that I mean he can be the next big name

199
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 3: in your fantasy leagues. And I think he's again pretty

200
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,599
Speaker 3: pro ready to make an impact whether you're playing Dynasty,

201
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 3: whether you're playing redraft. I think he can have an

202
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 3: impact on the stat sheet, like right off the bat.

203
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree. I mean, he is a blazing

204
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: fast prospect. He's got that stretch the field type capability.

205
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: He's got some concerns, like I think he should put

206
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: on a little bit of weight at sixty one eighty three,

207
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: he might have a little bit of trouble with press

208
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: coverage and sort of like NFL sized defenders, and like

209
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: there's some been some sort of things that he could

210
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: improve on some route running. I think Chris o'lovin maybe

211
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: had the edge there slightly. But Yeah, he definitely has

212
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: the capability of being the alpha receiver. So I am

213
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: super excited about him. Name a player current or retired

214
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: that comes to mind when you think of Wilson. Now,

215
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you something. Dannerlovski said Wilson could be

216
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: this year's DeVante Adams, and Milkiper said he could bid

217
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: this year's Jumar case, do either of those guys come

218
00:11:58,520 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: to mind or someone else.

219
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: You know, I think it's really hard to say that

220
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 3: he's going to step in to make either of those

221
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 3: like impact roles. I do kind of like the Jamar

222
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: Chase feel though Jamar Chase was walking into like a

223
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: much better situation offensively with Joe Burrow, and you know,

224
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 3: he had a lot of those weapons. The offensive line,

225
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: you know, was still a problem. But I think Joe Burrow,

226
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: especially as he was able to rehab a bit from

227
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: that acl and get back into the groove of the game,

228
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 3: he was able to make up for some of those deficiencies.

229
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: So I do kind of like the likening of Jamar Chase.

230
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 3: I just don't think there's a lot of holes in

231
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 3: his game that he can't really improve on. But definitely

232
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 3: I think what you mentioned the size bit is where

233
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 3: where that falls a little a little short for me understood.

234
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I hope that he reaches that. I'm maybe

235
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to give him more of like a Nicol

236
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: Hardman feel. I feel like that could be at least

237
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: where he falls maybe this year. And kind of this

238
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: goes into our next thing about twenty twenty two fantasy potential.

239
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: So I want to hear one prediction about Wilson's year

240
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: one for fantasy that could be upside, floor media, and

241
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: anything you want to say about him.

242
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: I think Garrett Wilson is going to be a really solid,

243
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 3: like wide receiver three with wide receiver two upside, and

244
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: that's just for this season. So I Garrett Wilson is

245
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 3: a guy that I'm kind of projecting to maybe get

246
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: drafted a little bit earlier than I'm comfortable taking him

247
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 3: in most situations. But he's a guy that I kind

248
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 3: of wonder, like, if he gets off to a slow start,

249
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: is he not going to end up on waivers at

250
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 3: some point in the season. You know, sometimes we get

251
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 3: really impatient with these rookies, especially after the immediate boom

252
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 3: that we had with Jimar Chase justin Jefferson, really hard

253
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 3: to like get off to any sort of slow start,

254
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: but and for us to hold on to him. So again,

255
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 3: I think this is a guy that I can project,

256
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 3: maybe not drafting a ton of, but if he does

257
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: manage to find waivers on you know, at some point

258
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: in the season, I'm gonna stash him wherever I can

259
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: because I do think he's gonna have a really killer

260
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: second half of the season once hopefully we see some

261
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: more rapport with Zach Wilson, they get into the groove

262
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: of the season because I think, I mean, the talent

263
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: is there, it's just got to come together for the team,

264
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: and sometimes that can take a little bit of time,

265
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: especially to start the year.

266
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I meant that, like wide receivers free upside at

267
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: this point, like I said, I'm just a little less

268
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: sold on him, at least for this year. I think

269
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: he's incredibly talented. I just think it's a system, but

270
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: that you know, such is what happens when you get

271
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: drafted early in the first round, right, Like you're not

272
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: going to go to the Chiefs. The Chiefs happen to

273
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: trade up, but like it's you end up on teams

274
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: like the Jets. So yeah, I mean at this point,

275
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: he his ADP for redraft and half PPR according to

276
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pro's ADP is wide receiver forty eight. I think

277
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: that I would probably buy him there. I assume that

278
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: you would probably do.

279
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's I think that's fair, and I

280
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: you know, again, I don't know how much I'm going

281
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 3: to actually end up drafting him just with all these concerns,

282
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 3: but one hundred percent, I think he's He's going to

283
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: have a really interesting season and I think the upside

284
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: is super high. It's probably just a matter of like,

285
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 3: is he going to have that consistency right off the bat?

286
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 3: And that's that's my biggest, uh my biggest concern with

287
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 3: him at this point. But you got to know with

288
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: the prospect himself that the ceiling sky high.

289
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: I agree, all right, let us move on to our

290
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: second prospect, that's maybe Traylon Burks. This is I mean,

291
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: I guess talked about how it's hard for early first

292
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: round receivers to go to good teams, but this is

293
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: an interesting little in draft trade where obviously A. J.

294
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: Brown went to Philadelphia. Does Treylon Brooks get at least

295
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: an A or one of the top landing spot grazing

296
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: this class.

297
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: I think he does again probably B plus for this

298
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: better offense, But the question marks for me lie with

299
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: the offensive system and whether or not he's going to

300
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: be in for that instantaneous target share.

301
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: You know, there's been a lot.

302
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 3: Of offensive productivity from this offense, but it's come mostly

303
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 3: from the rush. Each of the seasons that we've seen

304
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 3: with Mike Rabel as the head coach, hasn't yet surpassed

305
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 3: ranking twenty fifth among NFL offenses in terms of pass

306
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 3: attempts for the team, which is kind of crazy because

307
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 3: you know, we've we've bought into a J. Brown, But

308
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 3: I think we bought into that with you know, the

309
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: notion that there's some efficiency there as long as Derrick

310
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 3: Henry's on the field, it's going to open up things

311
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 3: for the past. But the volume, that's the biggest concern

312
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 3: here because I can't imagine them, you know, ranking much

313
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 3: higher than twenty fifth than pass attempts for the twenty

314
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 3: twenty two season. That's the biggest question with Trailon Burks.

315
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: But interestingly, my pre draft comp for Traylon Burks was

316
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 3: AJ Brown.

317
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: So to have these guys.

318
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: Like a one for literally a one for one spop

319
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 3: essentially was kind of bonkers. You know, I don't think

320
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 3: he's quite as refined, but I mean Burkes, he just

321
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 3: plays physical.

322
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: He's such a fun player to watch.

323
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 3: If you haven't watched on him, any of the listeners

324
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 3: highly encourage you just go watch some highlights of Traylon Burks.

325
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 3: Even just type him into YouTube and enjoy what you

326
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 3: see on film because he's so physical. He's just a

327
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: kind of a tank, but moves much better than you

328
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: think he would at his given size. So I think,

329
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 3: like just such an interesting dude. People were a little

330
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 3: bit disappointed somehow based on his combine performance. He put

331
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 3: up a four five five forty, which I mean, let's

332
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: get this guy credit.

333
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 2: He's six to two hundred and twenty five pounds.

334
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 3: Like we were just talking about Garrett Wilson at one

335
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty three pounds. This is Trailon Brooks at

336
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: two twenty five.

337
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 2: Like, this dude's just a tank monster hands like.

338
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 3: He's a guy that I think again could profile as

339
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 3: that true alpha wide receiver one.

340
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: Now the questions come up.

341
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: We've heard some conjecture about how he's he's shown up

342
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 3: out of shape, which you feel like we've kind of

343
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 3: seen that across the board from a lot of people

344
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 3: this year. Do you have any concerns at all about

345
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: like some of these reports he's out of shape, His

346
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: asthma's bad, He's he's on the sideline using his inhaler

347
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 3: as an asthmatic.

348
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: I totally empathize with Trey Line here, but any of

349
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: those reports concerning in your immediate projections for him.

350
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: No, I just think this is like off season talk,

351
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: like there's not enough to talk about, so people have

352
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: to make Yeah, I mean I get it, I get it.

353
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: I work in media, and I've worked at a place

354
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: where like it was all about clicks, and you have

355
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: like you have to take the tiniest little like I mean,

356
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: I remember having to take tweets about like someone gaining

357
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: like five pounds, or like this little barb that this

358
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 1: person's wife took in another person's wife and how that

359
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: will affect their cornerback wide receiver matchup and things like Yeah.

360
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: So I mean personally, no, that doesn't really affect me

361
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: that much. I mean, the dude has asthma, Like let

362
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: him take some hailer. I don't know that that's not

363
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: really going to affect me. But yeah, I mean I

364
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: would say this landing spot is pretty ideal. I agree

365
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: with you that it's going to continue to be the

366
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: Derrek Henry Show. But that said, I mean, there's just

367
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: so little competition for targets. It's going to be Robert Woods,

368
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: who's quite a bit older coming off of an injury.

369
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: Nick Westbrookakina and Austin Hooper. Possibly could be someone that

370
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: like sort of sucks up some targets, but you know,

371
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: it just seems like he feels like the team like

372
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: views him very highly, and they vacated a huge spot

373
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: with Brown leaving. So I think that just the targets

374
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: alone will put him into that like fantasy relevance for sure.

375
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: I think that he has an awesome build, like you mentioned,

376
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: six to two twenty five, big hands, and we probably

377
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: make a little bit too much about people's hands. We'll

378
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: get to that about George Pickens, but we maybe make

379
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: a little bit too much about that, and like some

380
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: of the combine stuff, but aj Brown is a really

381
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: good analog. I was also thinking Julio Jones, another Titan guy,

382
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: so forward Titan guy, So I think that that's interesting

383
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: that you know, he ended up on the Titans. Give

384
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: me one prediction about Burke's year one for fantasy.

385
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 3: I'm projecting Burkes to come out and be more of

386
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 3: a volume guy. Then we project like I talked about him,

387
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 3: profilings like this ALFUA wide receiver. You know, he does

388
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 3: like his body type everything about trail on Burkes screams

389
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 3: a dude. That should be playing on the outside, but

390
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: he actually played out of the slot a lot, mostly

391
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 3: predominantly coming out of Arkansas.

392
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 2: That was his role was a slot wide receiver. So

393
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: I think if he stays in.

394
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: The slot, and I don't feel like we've heard enough

395
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 3: about how the Titans are going to use him, whether

396
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 3: or not Hull, you know, split some SNA apps outside

397
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 3: versus in the slot. But if he plays primarily out

398
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 3: of the slot, Burks might come out to have.

399
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: Like immediate, really high PPR upside.

400
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: You know.

401
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 3: I think one of the most interesting things about Trailon

402
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 3: Burks just overall is watching him after the catch. He

403
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 3: looks almost like a running back, like when he has

404
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 3: the ball in his hands and he's you know, making

405
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 3: contact with defenders down the field. Literally looks like as

406
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 3: strong as a running back out there.

407
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: He's really fun to watch.

408
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: So I do think if he plays out of the slot,

409
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 3: that could be where he gets his money, and he

410
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 3: could be a PPR gold mine, and that could put

411
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: him at the top of this class maybe in year

412
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: one right off the bat. But again question marks about

413
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 3: how he's going to be used again, how much, even

414
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 3: if he gets a high target share with those type

415
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 3: with the Titans. What does that mean overall for volume,

416
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 3: just because it is a low volume passing offense. But

417
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 3: I think there is a reality where Traylon Burkes finishes

418
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 3: as this class is wide receiver one in the twenty

419
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 3: twenty two season.

420
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree. I think he had that wide

421
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: receiver two upside. He's got such a high ceiling as

422
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: this like blue chip prospect and a solid system, lack

423
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: of competition. I just I expect him to just make

424
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: that immediate impact. And you know, to your point about

425
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: playing in the slot, it's like about the mismatches that

426
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: he's going to create his size against, like slot corners.

427
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be really awesome. So I

428
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: am buying him at his current ADP of wide receiver

429
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: forty three. What about you?

430
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: I am buying And UH like very interesting because I'm

431
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 3: not as high on Trailon Burkes in dynasty as I

432
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: am in redraft, which is kind of interesting because I

433
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 3: feel like usually you get high on play in your

434
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 3: dynasty leagues for this long term value. But I think

435
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 3: again Treylon Burk's immediate impact, I think it could be instantaneous.

436
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: Though I don't think he's as refined as a guy

437
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 3: like Garrett Wilson. So right off the bat, I'll buy

438
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 3: at that ADP.

439
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: Love it, love it. We're going to jump into John

440
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: Mitchi the third. So the Texans eight combined wins over

441
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: the last two seasons, I don't know, so they get

442
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: an automatic f for you or how do you? How

443
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: do you feel about them? Yeah?

444
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 3: Kind of, And I feel like I'm very optimistic. You

445
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: heard my optimism surrounding the Jets, and despite their their

446
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 3: lack of success in recent seasons, but the Texans are

447
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 3: a team that I just don't really think has an

448
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 3: identity just yet. You know, they don't really have a

449
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 3: solid run game, they don't have a a presumed answer

450
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 3: at quarterback. They seem to like Davis Mills. I just

451
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: don't really have a direction for this team. And that's

452
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 3: sort of what bumps them down in my rankings. The

453
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 3: opportunity is there, but I mean the Texans dead lasting

454
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 3: yards last year third fewest points scored, only ahead of

455
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 3: the Giants and the Jaguars, which we were avoiding at

456
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 3: all costs. And when I asked myself, did enough change

457
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 3: this past off season?

458
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: I don't think enough changed.

459
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 3: But we're not going to see you know, John Matchi

460
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 3: and the Texans kind of continue to flounder a little bit.

461
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think I'm going to give them

462
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: a baby minus. I mean, they're not a great landing spot.

463
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: I also don't think they have the worst. Like Davis Mills,

464
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: he was actually pretty surprising last year. So probably a guess.

465
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: Rockie quarterback there was, which is crazy.

466
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to give a credit where credit is due here.

467
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he did not enter a good situation. He's

468
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: a third round pick, and you know he ended up

469
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,239
Speaker 1: playing thirteen games, eleven starts and did pretty well. I mean,

470
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: the depth chart really just fell off a cliff after

471
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks. I mean it's like Nico Collins, Chris Conley.

472
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: It's tough. There's gonna be targets to go around. Though.

473
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: For MITCHU, I think healthy. I mean, he was part

474
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: of that Alabama once you punch aside alongside Williams. He

475
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: definitely could have gone earlier in the draft. Speaking of

476
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: that injury, he did tear his left acl sort of

477
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. How much does that

478
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: impact to your evaluation as mechi as a prospect and

479
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: like just generally what do you think of him?

480
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: I like Metchi a lot, another guy that I think.

481
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 3: Profiles really well as like a slot wide receiver, allow

482
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 3: him to get the ball in his hands, make some

483
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 3: plays after the catch. But the torn acl is absolutely

484
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 3: a huge concern I think for specifically Redraft and you know,

485
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: the landing spot location that factor more into my considerations

486
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 3: for him to than in Dynasty.

487
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 2: But the torn azl it did happen.

488
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 3: In the college football playoff semi finals, so like we're

489
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 3: talking late, what was that like December thirty first, I think,

490
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 3: like really really late in the season, so that that

491
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 3: definitely brings a lot of concerns because he's not yet

492
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 3: running routes at full speed that he's running. So that's great,

493
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 3: but he's missing kind of a lot of these like

494
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 3: really valuable pure reps that he.

495
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: Could be getting within the offense.

496
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 3: It's great that he's you know, in OTA's MIDI camp,

497
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 3: like he's doing all the right things, but there's nothing

498
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 3: like actually simulating that play and that physicality and learning

499
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 3: to trust your knee. Like I just don't think he's

500
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 3: going to be there in time for him to make

501
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 3: an immediate impact.

502
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 2: In year one.

503
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 3: It just sucks for John Metchi because the opportunity here

504
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 3: with the Texans is totally there. They have the door

505
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 3: wide open for a wide receiver.

506
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 2: Two in this offense.

507
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 3: But I think he's going to be playing catchup a

508
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: lo out of the season once he's finally healthy.

509
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough. I mean that is something that fantasy

510
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: managers really do need to take into account, like the

511
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: amount of games that we assume Jamison Williams is going

512
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: to miss, like John Mechi's gonna miss the same amount

513
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: of games. It's the same injury and basically happened at

514
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: the same time, so that's very significant. His size, I mean,

515
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: he profiles basically the same as Garrett Wilson five to

516
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: eleven Woody D seven, So I mean, if he plays

517
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: out of the slot mostly it won't be as detrimental,

518
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: but certainly could be a thing to think about in

519
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: terms of like long term durability with his size. You know,

520
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: I think of another Alabama receiver, Daylan Waddle at five

521
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: ten wody two. I think that he's an interesting sort

522
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: of analog. Anyone else come to mind for you?

523
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: No, I think that's actually a really interesting comp there.

524
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: I kind of like that, especially the size coming out

525
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 3: of the system.

526
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 2: I don't know.

527
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 3: It's so hard, I think for me to evaluate John

528
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: Metchie and what he might be able to accomplish when

529
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 3: I'm just projecting this offense to be so poorly. Like

530
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 3: I've almost looked at John Metchie and I'm like, does

531
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 3: John Mitchie really matter? Because I don't think he's a

532
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 3: good enough wide receiver in terms of his talent to

533
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 3: necessarily transform this offense. Like Garrett Wilson I think is

534
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 3: a guy that can transcend quarterback play. John Mitchie I

535
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: don't think has that same talent. But definitely he's just

536
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 3: such an interesting guy, and I think the range of

537
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 3: outcomes is very wide for him both. I think on

538
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 3: the low side in twenty twenty two, but long term,

539
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 3: the range of outcomes is really anywhere.

540
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 2: It's pretty incredible.

541
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not even listed as a top one hundred

542
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: and twenty one receiver on Fantasy Fro's ADP as a

543
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: recording this podcast, all right, and moving on to Taekwon

544
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: Thornton Baylor receiver who went to the Patriots. I think

545
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots are overall a below average landing spot for

546
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: most positions as far as Fantasy it's concerned like, obviously

547
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: there were a great franchise in Bill Belichick's amazing, but

548
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: they don't have a particularly stacked receiving corp or anything

549
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: like that, So how do you rate them in terms

550
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: of a landing spot.

551
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 3: I actually ranked them a bit higher than you might think.

552
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: Mac Jones, I mean, ranked twelfth in passing yards in

553
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: his rookie season. Again, nobody talks about mac Jones enough.

554
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 3: He's not a rusher, so I feel like, you know,

555
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 3: we don't care about him for fantasy, but the passing

556
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 3: production is totally there. And I think when you think

557
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 3: about the fact that mac Jones had four thousand passing

558
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 3: yards last year, you have to think when there are

559
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 3: opportunities to be had here. I think both in terms

560
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 3: of yardage production and scoring production.

561
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: So I think.

562
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: The the opportunities there. But let's talk about Taekwon Thornton

563
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 3: the pick, because I feel like there was no pick

564
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 3: that came more out of left field than Taekwon Thornton

565
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 3: this year.

566
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: This is just Bill Belichick playing like three dach other

567
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: right or I don't know, like I give him that,

568
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: Like when there's a really weird pick that the Patriots make,

569
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,479
Speaker 1: I just assume he can see something that no one

570
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: else can see. But I don't know, like maybe I

571
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: shouldn't just extend that to him.

572
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: He's got like Bill Bill goggles on. Like I mean,

573
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 2: Taekwon Thornton ran.

574
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 3: The fastest forty yard dash at the Combine this year.

575
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: He's like just a speed monster. But every time I

576
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 3: have one of these really speedy monsters that's you know.

577
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: A flash like that.

578
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 3: I do worry just overall for fantasy about lack of

579
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: consistency because these are a lot of guys that, you know,

580
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 3: I think turn out better for the football field sometimes

581
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 3: than they do for fantasy. They open up, you know,

582
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 3: everything for the past game because you always have to

583
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 3: consider them for a deep threat. But Taekwon Thornton didn't

584
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: have him on my, uh even my top ten ahead

585
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: of the draft. The opportunity is there, But I do

586
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 3: think Thornton has a lot of polishing to do before

587
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 3: I'm going to trust him in fantasy lineups in any

588
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 3: sort of capacity.

589
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I mean, like in terms of the Patriots,

590
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: like they are a fairly run heavy offense and Belichick's

591
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: just notoriously unpredictable with player usage, so that just and

592
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: it's more of a running back thing obviously, but it

593
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: makes me a little worry of kind of anyone, especially

594
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: considering that they have this like very saturated groove of

595
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: pass catchers, but no one's great. It's like Jacobe Myers,

596
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: who's like never had a touchdown, Nelson Aguiler, Devonte Parker,

597
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: Kendrick Boord, Nikhil Harry, like Hunter Henry and John Owsmith.

598
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: And then you know running back James White who siphens

599
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: away a lot of short yardage type plays. So I

600
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: mean there's like a lot of guys who can keep it,

601
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: but no one like really great. Obviously, Thornton, to your point,

602
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: is going to stand out because he has that kind

603
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: of speed that no one else on that team has.

604
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: I mean Tyreek Hill four point nine forty that was

605
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: an unofficial time when West Alabama's Pro Day, so just

606
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: as fast as him. I don't expect him necessarily to

607
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: make that kind of impact, but I mean he's almost

608
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: six foot three, very athletic. Any players particularly come to

609
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: mind when you think of Thornton.

610
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 3: Not really, but I do want to say the hands,

611
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 3: I like we talked about hands Taekwon Thornton eight in

612
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 3: a quarter inch hands like that's right, and six to.

613
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: Three like that's an interesting combo.

614
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 3: Right, He's just kind of a question mark. So like,

615
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,719
Speaker 3: is he a guy that's going to open things up

616
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 3: for the offense, Yes, But are you going to trust

617
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 3: mister eight and a quarter in chance with those contested

618
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 3: catch opportunities? Probably not, So I do I really just

619
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 3: wonder is Taekwon Thornton that speed demon that opens things

620
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 3: up for the offense but doesn't have the impact for fantasy?

621
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 3: That's what I'm thinking of Taekwon Thornton at this point.

622
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, he's a guy that had about twenty

623
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 1: two hundred receiving yards and nineteen touchdowns over four seasons

624
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: forty two games for Baylor, So it's not like he

625
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: had crazy college production either, which is partly why. I mean,

626
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: he's a freak athletically, but that's partly why he just

627
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: wasn't that high on most people's draft boards except for

628
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: you know, Bill Belichick. But the one guy that comes

629
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: to mind to me is like I would say, he's

630
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: a taller Will Fuller. Will Fuller was like six six

631
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: to blazing fast speed for three forty so he's kind

632
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: of like the only guy that I could think of

633
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: that maybe profiles similar because like guys that tall don't

634
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: always run that fast, So like those are kind of

635
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: like the only things that I could think of. But

636
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if to like that.

637
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 3: And I would say, like will Fuller feels like a

638
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 3: really nice vibe, but like a less polished, less refined

639
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 3: will Fuller. But like will Fuller is the guy that

640
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 3: hasn't always had perfect hands either, so maybe that's maybe

641
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: that's the perfect pomp.

642
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably his ceiling too. So speaking of that,

643
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: give me something a prediction about Thornton's year one for fantasy.

644
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're not optimistic about him right now.

645
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: ADP wise, he's also not a guy that's listed on

646
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: the top one twenty one.

647
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 3: This is going to be, I think, another player that

648
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 3: maybe puts up a couple of like just really solid

649
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 3: performances and then we rapid react pick him up off waivers,

650
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 3: try to plug him into our lineups, and then we

651
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 3: never see the light of day again because our fantasy

652
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 3: teams have crumbled. Like Taekwon Thornton, I think he'll have

653
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 3: at least a good game, maybe two good games, But

654
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 3: I worry about the reliability factor, the consistency there. So

655
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 3: he's definitely like, maybe, if you're in a best Ball league,

656
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 3: could be a really intriguing, very late round pick. But

657
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 3: for any league that I'm setting my lineup, I can't

658
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 3: fathom a situation where he's actually playable on a week

659
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 3: to week basis.

660
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna have that Sammy Watkins game at some

661
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: point where it's like, yes, three touchdowns or something, and

662
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: then we'll never hear from him again.

663
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 2: That's exactly what it feels like. I think we both

664
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 2: hit the nail on the head there.

665
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: All right, well, let us move on to our favorite

666
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: receiver of today's podcast that it's maybe George Pickens. He

667
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm actually a Georgia fan, so I was actually pretty

668
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: surprised to see how late he slipped in this draft.

669
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: Draft position over under kind of put him right right

670
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: on the first round bubble. He fell kind of to

671
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: the late second partially due to health concerns. Do you

672
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: I mean in terms of landing spot and general player

673
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: about like, do you think that the Steelers got to

674
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: steal for Pickens at number fifty two overall? I do?

675
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 3: And you know, I don't know how many of your listeners,

676
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 3: you know, participate in like college football DeBie leagues where

677
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 3: you know you're drafting like these college prospects way before

678
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 3: they make it to the NFL. But like way back

679
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 3: in the day, and by back in the day, I

680
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 3: mean like twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, George Pickens was considered

681
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 3: one of the top wide receivers in this class. You know,

682
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 3: tours ACL, tried to make it comeback, didn't quite look himself,

683
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 3: and I think that that.

684
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 2: That really hurt him.

685
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 3: Like I think he might have actually gotten higher if

686
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 3: we never saw him in the twenty twenty one season,

687
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 3: which is kind of crazy, but I think the Pittsburgh

688
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,479
Speaker 3: Steelers are really kind of an interesting offense. Like we've

689
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 3: seen plenty of production from the receiving corps despite like

690
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: just really crap offenses out of Pittsburgh in the last

691
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 3: three seasons. So I think the opportunity's definitely there for

692
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 3: him to make a huge impact.

693
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 2: The question for me, at least.

694
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 3: Comes in twenty twenty two in terms of, you know,

695
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 3: as Pittsburgh navigates this quarterback situation, what does that look

696
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 3: like for George Pickens? What does that look like for

697
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: Deontay Johnson because I still think it's the Deontay Johnson Show.

698
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: I agree with you there. Yeah, in terms of landing

699
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: spot grate, I'm going to give them like a B

700
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: minus now, and this is for twenty twenty two because,

701
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, there's just that glaring boy at quarterback.

702
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean, is it going to be? You tell me,

703
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: is this going to be some kind of training camp

704
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: battle between Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Bigott, and Mason Rudolph. I'm

705
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 1: serious to see.

706
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 3: It really could be, and I think, like if it's me,

707
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 3: I was actually probably more disappointed in the Kenny Pickett

708
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 3: pick than anybody. I'm just not a huge Kenny Pickett fan.

709
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 3: The Steelers, I feel like, are a very emotional team

710
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 3: and they draft with their heart. Sometimes they make like

711
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 3: decisions with their heart, and sometimes I think that bites

712
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,439
Speaker 3: them in the button. I think Kenny Pickett, the hometown boy,

713
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 3: the hometown hero, the fifth year breakout at pitt who

714
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 3: just brought it all together for them. It was a

715
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 3: nice story, and I think the Steelers are just a

716
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 3: team that is prone to playing into that. But I

717
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 3: genuinely think this will be a quarterback battle. Like Mitch Trubisky.

718
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 3: If I'm the Steelers, I'm wanting to see what he

719
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 3: can do because I do think I mean, we've already

720
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 3: seen him, you know, with a strong defense in tow

721
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 3: bring a team to the playoffs. Like, I think he's

722
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 3: a suitable game manager. He's not gonna go out and

723
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 3: I think win you a lot of weeks, but I

724
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 3: think he can help lead you and your team to

725
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 3: some wins. Of Kenny Pickett's kind of a shot in

726
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 3: the dark for me, but I can absolutely imagine Kenny

727
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 3: Pickett winning this job. You know, at Mitt Trubisky might

728
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 3: have it in camp, but I do think we see

729
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett year one, And I mean, who knows what

730
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,280
Speaker 3: we're going to see out of out of Kenny Pickett

731
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 3: if we're going to see a high powered passing offense

732
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 3: from those tiny hands.

733
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: I'm not so high on George Pickens uh year one.

734
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 2: We still have to see him really return from that

735
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 2: torn acl and look fully healthy. But just the overall.

736
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 3: Weapons in that offense that they have at this point,

737
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 3: I think there's enough there to sustain some fantasy value

738
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 3: across the board.

739
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know there's there's going to be a

740
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: lot of targets vacated with Juju go on and everything

741
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: like that. So even though I think Deantay Johnson's going

742
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: to be a total star, he'll get he'll definitely get

743
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: some targets out there, and you know his positive attributes.

744
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: He's got a great build, six foot three, one ninety five.

745
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 1: He's going to stack up really well against those NFL cornerbacks.

746
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: And his size didn't seem to be a hindrance at

747
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: the combine, I mean four point four to seven forty

748
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: yard dash. His route running seems to be pretty decent. Yeah,

749
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean the health is definitely been an issue. He

750
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: had not that much playing time at Georgia, so he's

751
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: kind of viewed even though he comes from one of

752
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: those great programs is raw talent, which is not something

753
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 1: that like a lot you know, you hear that alive,

754
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 1: like someone's coming out of North Dakota State or something

755
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 1: like that, like Christian Watson. But yeah, so, I mean

756
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: there are a lot of unknowns combined that with you know,

757
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation it is. There's there's a decently wide

758
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: number of outcomes here. Who comes to mind when you

759
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: think of Pickens. I'll give you two that came to

760
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,919
Speaker 1: mind Julio Jones and Mike Williams. Do you like either

761
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 1: of those?

762
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 3: I like Julio Jones better than Mike Williams. And I

763
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 3: think the size definitely is a big help. Like I think, potentially,

764
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 3: even if we don't see him necessarily get a huge

765
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 3: target share, I could picture him coming in Gear one

766
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 3: and scoring touchdowns like kind of like Friarmooth did in

767
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 3: his season to start. I think the size is going

768
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 3: to give him that opportunity and you know, be that

769
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,479
Speaker 3: sort of red zone threat right off the bat.

770
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: I like that for twenty twenty two. Give me a

771
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: prediction about Pickens year one for fantasy and do you

772
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: buy or sell him at his current EDP of wide

773
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: for sixty seven.

774
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 2: I'll actually buy at his current ADP.

775
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 3: Again, I think this is a guy that can come

776
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 3: in and maybe put up like six seven eight touchdowns

777
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 3: right off.

778
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,720
Speaker 2: The bat, especially just due to his size.

779
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 3: Due to the fact that, you know, I think this

780
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,720
Speaker 3: is a team that develops wide receivers very well.

781
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 2: Just a solid situation to land in.

782
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 3: I think, you know, despite the questions at quarterback, I

783
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 3: do like there's going to be enough offensive production to

784
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 3: sustain some fantasy value there, So I think I would

785
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 3: definitely say he falls as like a fringe wide receiver

786
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 3: four wide receiver five for me, but definitely a guy

787
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 3: that I think is probably going to win you more

788
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 3: weeks with the touchdowns than he is necessarily the volume

789
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 3: right off the bat.

790
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't I don't have two Rosie

791
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: of an outlook right just for twenty twenty two, I

792
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: think he's a great dynasty pick, but like I feel

793
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: like he would have to leap frog Chase Claypool on

794
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: the depth chart for him to really like reach his

795
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: ceiling for fantasy for this season, which, like, given sort

796
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,399
Speaker 1: of the things with the injuries and just him being

797
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: not having as much sort of experience at the college level,

798
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: I think it could be it could take a little longer.

799
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: So for twenty twenty two, I'm probably going to sell

800
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: him at his ADP, but I'm excited for him as

801
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: a prospect for you guys. All right, let us move

802
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: on to Alec Pearce from the Colts. So it is

803
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: the the Jonathan Taylor Show in Indianapolis. But with the

804
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 1: off season upgrades at quarterback, you know, like, how do

805
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: the Colts rank for you? As a landing spot for Pierce.

806
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 3: They actually rank pretty well. I think though it is

807
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 3: The JT Show, it's definitely you know, an offense that

808
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 3: I think is going to benefit from the upgrade at quarterback.

809
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 3: But also, you know, despite the focus on the run,

810
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 3: that does tend to open things up for a more

811
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 3: efficient passing game.

812
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan we can't see.

813
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 3: I think, much lower than we saw him in Atlanta

814
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 3: last season, like barely through twenty touchdowns. Like I think

815
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 3: that feels like a really low ceiling of expectations for

816
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 3: Matt Ryan. I think we see a bounce back just

817
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 3: overall with the nice balance they've struck there. I really

818
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 3: like Michael Pittman, but I think Alec Pierce, you know,

819
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 3: is a super interesting addition because he brings so much

820
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 3: in terms of his athleticism ranked ninetieth percentile in the

821
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 3: broad jump, ninety third percentile in the vertical jump, like

822
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 3: so explosive, eighty second percentile in the forty yard dash,

823
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 3: Like this is a killer athlete with the potential to

824
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 3: really kind of take the top off of things. Then

825
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 3: you know, just I don't know, play play more athletically

826
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 3: than maybe he would, you know, for his size, specifically six'

827
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 3: three to be that kind of athlete at six three

828
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 3: and have that kind of explosiveness six, three two. Eleven

829
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,240
Speaker 3: Like I'm i'm feeling, That i'm liking.

830
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: That, YEAH i just love these big. Receivers in terms

831
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: Of Matt, RYAN i, mean it was an interesting little

832
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: like experiment to see what it's like to give someone

833
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 1: no offensive line and no receivers for an entire.

834
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 3: Season worst experience and worst experiment That Matt ryan has

835
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 3: ever partaken.

836
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 2: In, Forgan, yeah it.

837
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: Was cool to see At Corderill patterson. BREAKOUT i did

838
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: not have that necessarily on my bingo. Card but like you,

839
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 1: know this has got to be an upgrade For Matt,

840
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: ryan and it's got to be an upgrade for The.

841
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: Colts even at the ripe page of thirty, six he's an.

842
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: Upgrade so, yeah And Michael pittman's going to be his

843
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: main competition for. Targets but it's pretty shallow after. THAT i,

844
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: mean we've Got Zach pascal and T Y hilton who

845
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,959
Speaker 1: have just not been. DURABLE i, mean T Y hilton

846
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: is quite old at this, point but like you can't

847
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: imagine that they're going to be playing too too much

848
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: so he seems to be the incumbent number two at this,

849
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: point assuming that you know he. Can he he does

850
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: well at camp and makes that rapport With, ryan and,

851
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: yeah he's just got an exciting sort of athletic and physical.

852
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 1: Build and in addition to, that he was just really.

853
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: Satile he played inside and outside for the Bear, cats

854
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: which will be really awesome even if he doesn't really

855
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 1: line up, Inside LIKE i just think having that ability

856
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: and having that like route running sort of prowess is

857
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: is really invaluable at this. Level player cop Aj green

858
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: six four two, eleven you know forty that that's The

859
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 1: that's the person that came to mind for.

860
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 2: Me that's actually an interesting.

861
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 3: ONE i did have a player comp for him THAT

862
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 3: i ACTUALLY i kind of, LIKE i.

863
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: Didn't mean to steal your.

864
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 2: Thunder, no it's, OKAY i actually like that.

865
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 3: One the other one THAT i was gonna roll with

866
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:42,240
Speaker 3: WAS Dj shark okay wide receiver currently with The, lions

867
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 3: but you, know PLAYED i think pretty well for The

868
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 3: Jacksonville jaguars in his second. Season prospect out OF lsu

869
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 3: kind of again came in as one of these like

870
00:48:55,120 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 3: bigger athletic guys who you know have that those explosive of,

871
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 3: elements AND i think that that sort of fits What

872
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 3: Alec pierce is going to. Do you, KNOW i kind

873
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 3: of wonder, too like what are we going to see from?

874
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 3: Him just overall in terms of a volume right out

875
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 3: of the, Gate i'm not sure that he's going to

876
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 3: see a ton of. Volume you Have Nim hines, too

877
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 3: WHO i think is going to be a big part

878
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 3: of this offense this. Year Michael pittman who had his big.

879
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 3: Breakout we know they like to utilize the tight, end

880
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 3: though there are plenty of question marks as to you

881
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 3: know what that's going to look. Like we we don't

882
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,439
Speaker 3: Have Jack doyle? Anymore is it THE Molei cox? Show

883
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 3: LIKE i Like Alec pierce the, PROSPECT i really like

884
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 3: the landing. SPOT i don't know what it's going to

885
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 3: look like year, One So I'm i'm not as bullish

886
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 3: on him in year one AS i would. Be, again

887
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 3: like A Garrett wilson WHO i think might have some

888
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 3: more more immediate showings in.

889
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy, YEAH i, MEAN i think when you're getting to

890
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: those late, rounds like he could be worth adding as

891
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: a very late round flyer or in a deeper league for,

892
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: Sure like he'll go drafted in my sixteen team league for.

893
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: Sure but you, know like it's more of a thing

894
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: like down the, Line LIKE i don't know that he's

895
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: gonna have that wide receiver three or four upside in week,

896
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: one but, maybe you, know like halfway through the season

897
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: he starts to sort of. EMERGE i could see him

898
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: being as like a little bit of a slower. Start

899
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: he's like a guy that if you have a deeper,

900
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: BENCH i would like to. Stash, Yeah i'm not thinking

901
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: even as an immediate, starter sixty six receivers in your

902
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 1: league are going off the, board like you're you're just

903
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: taking shots at that.

904
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,720
Speaker 3: Point, yeah there's there's not a lot of risk baked

905
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,839
Speaker 3: into THAT, adp which is very. Nice AND i, think

906
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 3: like again going back to like the quarterback play, specifically

907
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,919
Speaker 3: we've Seen Matt ryan be able to sustain offenses with

908
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 3: plenty Of fantasy relevant assets. Here you, know we saw

909
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 3: him Support Austin hooper Alongside Julio, jones Alongside Calvin. Ridley,

910
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 3: like if they get this this recipe right In, indy

911
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 3: WHICH i think they have the coaching staff to, DO

912
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 3: i think they have.

913
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 2: The general framework to.

914
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 3: DO i think all of the assets that you want

915
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 3: are are, there BUT i just don't Think Alec pearce

916
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 3: is necessarily as polished to make the media impact their.

917
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 1: Enough all, right we are onto our file Receiver skymore

918
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 1: to The. Chiefs this is a really interesting one BECAUSE

919
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: i actually thought he had he was like right on

920
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: the bubble. TOO i think for like projection, wise to

921
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: go maybe as like a late, first early second and

922
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: he obviously fell to The chiefs late in the second

923
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:59,760
Speaker 1: round in terms of a landing. Spot obviously With Tyreek

924
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: hill gone catching passes From Patrick, WHANS i, mean does

925
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: it get much better than that for?

926
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 2: You it really.

927
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 3: Doesn't and this is one of these prospects WHO i

928
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 3: think right now is kind of like the hot guy In.

929
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 3: Dynasty i'm not projecting him to have his media in

930
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 3: an impact despite the departure Of Tyreek. Hill you, KNOW

931
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 3: i kind of project Sky moore as like that slot,

932
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 3: receiver AND i do Think Juju Smith schuster is going

933
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,439
Speaker 3: to do a lot of work. There BUT i, mean

934
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 3: like long, term it's you're going to find offensive production

935
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,439
Speaker 3: with The Kansas City. Chiefs you're tied to the best

936
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 3: quarterback in THE. Nfl for at least the full length

937
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 3: of your rookie. Contract it is really surprising to see

938
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 3: how far Sky moore slipped because they did think, that you,

939
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 3: know he was possibly a pick for The chiefs at

940
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 3: the end of the first, round so to see them

941
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 3: get him at pick number fifty four was kind of

942
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 3: kind of wild for. Me BUT i do think, that you,

943
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 3: know he's got enough, speed he's just got A i

944
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 3: think he's a really well balanced wide receiver and just

945
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:17,919
Speaker 3: again one of maybe the more capable guys that fell

946
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 3: in this. Range LIKE i would take Sky moore probably

947
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 3: over let's, see in, redraft Like Alec. Gears i'd take

948
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 3: him Over George. Pickens i'd take him Over Taekwon, thornon

949
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 3: just for that that upside alone of being tied To Patrick.

950
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 3: Mahomes despite the questions of, like where are all these

951
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 3: pieces gonna fit Without Tyreek, Hill that's my biggest question

952
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 3: there for this.

953
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: Offense, YEAH i, AGREE i, Mean i'm giving them an a,

954
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: plus and one could argue that he got the best

955
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: landing spot of this. Draft LIKE i the only one

956
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: THAT i think you could make an argument for would

957
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: Be Green bay And Christian. WATSON i mean obviously the

958
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: upside mostly coming from the. Quarterback Patrick home's astronomical upside

959
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 1: there and to your, point under contract until twenty thirty,

960
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: one so there's a lot of long term value. THERE

961
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 1: i don't know how the targets are going to kind

962
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: of shake. Out, uh he's got ten and a quarter,

963
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 1: inchans which is pretty new seven percentile that's, crazy pretty.

964
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:25,280
Speaker 1: Impressive or a guy that's small but pretty pretty strong

965
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: showing at the combine overall four point four to one

966
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: forty yard, Gosh so he's got a lot of like the.

967
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: PIECES i just really the upside for me comes from

968
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: the system. Itself what receiver do you think profiles closest

969
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: to More.

970
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 3: To be, clear he's like my comp is Not Tyreek,

971
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 3: Kill BUT i think in terms of what he does

972
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 3: after the catch and his like movement abilities and, SHIFTINESS

973
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 3: i think that kind of reminds me of what The

974
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 3: chiefs want to replace In Tyreek.

975
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 2: Hill, again not my.

976
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 3: Comp he's he's, bigger he is not as, Fast he's,

977
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 3: like he's Not Tyreek. Hill but When i'm watching him

978
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 3: after the catch and his ability to maneuver and get

979
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 3: get around things and just be. Elusive ranked first among

980
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,800
Speaker 3: wide receivers in twenty twenty one and miss tackles force

981
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 3: like he's just once you get the ball in his,

982
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,280
Speaker 3: hands similar to A Tyreek.

983
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 2: HILL i think he's really really hard to.

984
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:42,959
Speaker 3: Beat so that's again my not my comp but sort

985
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,439
Speaker 3: of my comp fish fair.

986
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: ENOUGH i had, sense, no it does? It? Does it definitely.

987
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 1: DOES i struggled with this what ACTUALLY i just MAYBE

988
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: i don't Know more enough as a prospect to really

989
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: come up with a good. One BUT i came up

990
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: With Golden tate Or Antonio, brown which neither of those

991
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: are really perfect, analogs but that's pretty much where my brain.

992
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: Is those are kind of like a little bit undersized

993
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: type guys with decent. Speeds So more does line up

994
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 1: sort of both inside and. OUTSIDE i think his size

995
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: is maybe going to have him profile more as an inside,

996
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: receiver but we shall see sort of how The chiefs

997
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 1: end up deploying.

998
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 3: Him, like both of those are guys that you wouldn't

999
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,879
Speaker 3: say win because of their, size but it's in the

1000
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 3: elusiveness of their their play style and like the magic

1001
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 3: once they get the ball in their. Hands SO i,

1002
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 3: think like that's a much better way of saying this

1003
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 3: comp than my nod To Tyreek, hill who like again

1004
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,839
Speaker 3: physically does not profile like Sky moore.

1005
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 2: Whatsoever but the whole gist was, there, Right, Like.

1006
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: No that definitely made sense to. Me so all, right

1007
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: so we're obviously excited about him for year. ONE i,

1008
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: think you, know if he catches onto the system really

1009
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: well and makes that connection With Patrick, mahomes he has

1010
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:12,879
Speaker 1: like wide receiver two three. UPSIDE i, mean he's he's

1011
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: a guy that was a fringe first round pick that

1012
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: they nabbed in the lead second THAT i think that

1013
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: like that probably impacts people's opinion of him a little,

1014
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: bit but really. SHOULDN'T i think he just brings lots

1015
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: lots of upside with The mahomes. Connection it'll it'll take

1016
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: some time to, develop but you, know wide receiver sixty

1017
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: five in that same range to your point As Alec,

1018
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: pearce As George, pickens, Like i'm definitely buying him.

1019
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 3: There, yeah this is such an interesting draft class, too

1020
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 3: because so many of these wide receivers are being drafted

1021
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 3: right around, that like wide receiver Sixty, mark AND i

1022
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 3: think all of them have some upside here in terms

1023
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 3: of what they can even do year, one just based

1024
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 3: on talent, alone BUT i mean in terms of, situation

1025
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 3: it's really hard to come up with a rookie that

1026
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:06,919
Speaker 3: landed in a better, spot especially considering The Tyreek hill.

1027
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,880
Speaker 2: Trade So i'm all about Sky.

1028
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: Moore all, right that'll do. IT i just want to

1029
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: get before you, LEAVE i want to get your top

1030
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: three of these players For redraft and top three For.

1031
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 3: Dynasty all, Right i'm actually going to go kind of boring,

1032
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 3: here so please bear with. Me i'm gonna go just For,

1033
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 3: Redraft i'll Do Trailon, burks WHICH i think is kind

1034
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 3: of the consensus, Here Garrett, wilson and then For, Upside

1035
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 3: i'm going to go with Sky moore BECAUSE i, think

1036
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 3: again just the, offense the potential with the absence Of Tyreek,

1037
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 3: Hill i'll take him. There For, Dynasty i'll Take Garrett,

1038
00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 3: Wilson Traylon, burks and then again Sky. Moore i'm actually

1039
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 3: surprised That George pickens didn't make my top, three neither of. Them,

1040
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 3: so but again the question marks about The. Steelers my,

1041
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 3: gosh Darn steelers forced them down the. Ranks BUT i

1042
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 3: certainly hope that an improvement at maybe the quarterback, position

1043
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 3: hopefully maybe someday.

1044
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 2: We'll Rank George pickens up into the top. Three but

1045
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 2: that's that's my gist for.

1046
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: Now that is exactly HOW i had, It SO i

1047
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: feel really good knowing that you're on the same. Page,

1048
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: YEAH i would have just Swapped wilson And burkes for For,

1049
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 1: dynasty so it's the exact. SAME i think that that's

1050
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: pretty much the consensus so, Overall so, yeah it's it's

1051
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,959
Speaker 1: going to be a super exciting class And i'm really

1052
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: excited overall to start. Drafting i'm sure you've been in

1053
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: lots of drafts. Already i've done. Some i've done a

1054
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: few of the eliminator drafts for. Sure but that'll do so.

1055

1071
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 3: an interesting class we have.

1072
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:48,439
Speaker 2: Here.

1073
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, ABSOLUTELY i think there was a kind of an

1074
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: overall sentiment at the draft that there were so many

1075
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: guys that like they could either go in one round

1076
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 1: or they could go through rounds. Later like it was

1077
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: an interesting sort of like we have no idea where

1078
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: these prospects are going to, go and like even now

1079
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: that they're, drafted there is just so much. Intrigue SO

1080
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 1: i think that that's what makes it more. Fun like

1081
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: some people want a predictable sort of fantasy, season BUT

1082
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: i want the, chaos SO i am all here for.
