00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: gonna be difficult. We expect though. He will be back

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: for Thursday show so we can ask him questions about

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: some of his mock draft stuff. Then the one headlines

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: we get to by the way, we are doing a show.

24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: We did a mock draft yesterday. We're gonna talk about

25
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: the mock draft. We got some some other running back

26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: rankings things, and then maybe some fun in fravolity at

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: the end, depending on how long we are babbling about

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: the other stuff here. But yeah, we did a mock

29
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: draft the first of what several this year, I would assume, right.

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I like doing them, like we were

31
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: talking about doing them maybe like once a month or

32
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: something like that, just to kind of keep compare. And

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: it's really cool because, like you, you posted this on

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: Blue you skeeded it.

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: I guess, uh yeah, I Patrick CLAYBN has convinced me

36
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: that we're just we're just calling him tweets regardless.

37
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: Okay, so you tweeted it on Blue Sky, oh right,

38
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: and it filled within like twenty minutes. So it's a

39
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: lot of people who live in breath fantasy like we do,

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: which which is really cool.

41
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, we actually got some really cool folks in here.

42
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: Nate poll Vote joined us. Kevin Tompkins. I think you

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: could read him with some of his stuff over at

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: at Fantasy pros. Nate Yankie from Pro Football Focus was

45
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: in with us Pete Davidson him at Rotobond. There's a

46
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: whole lot of folks who jumped in, so we are

47
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: grateful for them for feeling this thing up. And I

48
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: think we just had some civilians out there as well

49
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: who just said jumped in.

50
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: Do you think Pete gets it as much as I do?

51
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: Like tweets thinking he's someone else, Yeah, except that his

52
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: are probably more fun than yours, oh easily.

53
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean he probably got a lot of tweets about

54
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: the SNL fiftieth anniversary or something like that. Yours. You

55
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: just get angry angry.

56
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: People whenever like a supermodel or like a singer breaks

57
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: up with their significant other. They probably slide into Pete's

58
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 2: DMS like yeah, I mean I would think so right.

59
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's probably a different, different level, for sure

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: than than what you get when when people make you mad,

61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: you make whatever when the other florio tweets things, writes things,

62
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: and people get upset about it. So yeah, I want

63
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: to go through this mock draft. It was a twelve

64
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: team PPR Snake draft. I will also try to post

65
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: the actual board, so folks can check that out too,

66
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: because I know, just sort of listening to this thing

67
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be a little bit difficult to follow. So

68
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: we'll post the board. You can take a look at that.

69
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: You can make your own determinations of who you thought

70
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: had a good draft or not a good draft. So

71
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like your overall impressions, your feelings on the

72
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: team that you came away with. You chose the twelfth

73
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: spot in the order, so talk to me about why

74
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: you chose that and how you felt like it turned out.

75
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: I took twelve because it's a little bit easier because

76
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: you could just double pick and you're good to go.

77
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: I also like being on the turn. It makes you,

78
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: at least with me, it forces me to kind of

79
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: get my guys a little bit more. Whereas if Sam,

80
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: I'm in the middle of a draft, I'll be like,

81
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: maybe I could wait and get this guy around later.

82
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: You don't have that option when you're at twelve, so

83
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: it kind of forces you to go get the guys

84
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: that you like. And to me, the most interesting part

85
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: of this mock was rookies. And obviously ADP isn't fully

86
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: up to like par yet we with the So the

87
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 2: rookies are still a little bit pushed down on ADP,

88
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: but you wouldn't know that by looking at this board

89
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: because everyone was pulling rookies up very high. I kind

90
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: of went in being like, I'm gonna draft a lot

91
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: of rookies. I don't think I drafted a single one,

92
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: because I should have expected this with who we were

93
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: drafting for such a sharp room that they went appropriate.

94
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: There was no discount on any of the top rookies.

95
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: No, there was, And like I was sort of with you,

96
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: was like, I'm gonna draft some rookies, and they kept going,

97
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: and they kept going. Eventually I did draft one late.

98
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: I just I chose the second spot, you know. I

99
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: wanted to see who would go first and sort of

100
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: make my decision. Accordingly, I'm just curious as to how

101
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: things are gonna shake out. And I was with you,

102
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: I was trying to get rookies. It never really happened.

103
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: Then finally late I just I felt left out. So

104
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: I drafted a rookie in the late rounds of this thing,

105
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: just to kind of see how, you know, how it

106
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: would feel a little bit. Did you have a particular strategy,

107
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: were you you know, I always feel like you never

108
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: really know until you kind of get into it a

109
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: round or two. But did you go into it, you know,

110
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: planning to do certain things?

111
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: I kind of felt like you, like, especially with this

112
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: being my first real mock for twenty twenty five and

113
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: it being February, and like I said, ADPs still kind

114
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: of skewed off of what it was last year. These

115
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: early drafts are always very interesting, and I kind of

116
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: went into like, I'm gonna find all the guys who's

117
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: ADP are suppressed and I'm gonna take them, and we're

118
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 2: in such a sharp room that everyone had that same thought.

119
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: My plan was to I wanted to leave the first

120
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: couple of rounds with running backs because at least one

121
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: like I know, me and like Lakwan talk about a

122
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: lot like we want wide receivers early on. But the

123
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: more we were talking, especially Marcus when we did our

124
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: rankings last week and we talked about running back, I

125
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: was like, there's such a like I think there's a

126
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: bigger fall off at running back after the top like

127
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 2: five than at any other position outside of maybe quarterback.

128
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: But that's a very different position. So I left the

129
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: first two rounds. I made sure to grab Devan hen

130
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: who was my highest ranked running back, and then through

131
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: four rounds I ended up doubling down and taking Isaiah Pacheco,

132
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: who I loved last year as well. So after four rounds,

133
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: I had two running backs, and that was something I

134
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: wanted to emphasize, Like, I was confident I could find

135
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: receivers I would feel good about in the middle portions

136
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: of the draft, not so much with running backs, which

137
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: is why after I had those two guys, I took

138
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: one more running back until my last pick, the very

139
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: last pick of the draft. So wanted to emphasize it

140
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: early and then kind of because I also feel like

141
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: right now, Marcus, obviously things will change by August, but

142
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: out of all the positions, running backs are the one

143
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: that could change the most because it's so volume dependent. Yeah.

144
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: So I felt in some way, maybe a little bit

145
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: opposite of you in the sense that I didn't love

146
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: the receivers that were available when it got to even

147
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: like late round two. I mean, they're good players, but

148
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: I didn't feel comfortable taking them in that spot. So

149
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: I felt good getting you know, a big wide receiver early.

150
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: I came back and got a big running back early

151
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: we'll start talking about some of these guys individually in

152
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: a bit. But it was sort of like after a while,

153
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: like I don't love any of the receivers available. They

154
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: all come with big question marks attached to them. And

155
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: then sort of in the mid rounds I hit a

156
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: few receivers that I think could potentially either make a

157
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: leap or maybe have a bounce back year. Then later

158
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: I kind of took some, I guess, for lack of

159
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: a better screw, kind of more zero RB type guys

160
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: or guys that have upside potentially, and then you know,

161
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: the end of the draft is always sort of those

162
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: upside kind of dart throw guys that you think could

163
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: really maybe turn into something, but you're sort of, you know,

164
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: on the fence about them a little bit. So this

165
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: sort of dive into it. Justin Jefferson is the one

166
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: dot one your feelings on that I.

167
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: Wouldn't do it. I can get the thinking like he's

168
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson. He probably is the best real life wide

169
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: receiver walking the planet right now. He's been so productive

170
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 2: regardless of who the quarterback has been. Last year we

171
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: were doing this with Sam Darnold, where we were like,

172
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 2: might not live up to expectations, and he was fine.

173
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: He produced with Nick Mullens for a stretch the year before.

174
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 2: But when you were picking first, you were splitting hairs,

175
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: and Justin Jefferson's quarterback is a much bigger question than

176
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: the guy that you got it too, in Jamar Chase,

177
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: who is, as Joe Burrow, one of the four best

178
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the NFL, is guy since college, all of that,

179
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: so I know we've talked about it already on the

180
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: show before. For me, one dot oh one is Jamar Chase,

181
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: and you just keep it moving. But you got a gift.

182
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: You got him at two. I get the thicking with Jefferson.

183
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 2: I just would never be the one to do.

184
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: That, which made me feel great that I was able

185
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: to like cause I see Jefferson go off the board

186
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: in one and I couldn't click Jamar Chase's name fast enough,

187
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: Like I was all in on Jamar Chase at the

188
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: one dot two. That was an easy one for me.

189
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: I assumed he was going to go one. I still

190
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: believe in most drafts that he's going to go number one,

191
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: but I was glad to get the very slight discounted too.

192
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: If he went one. Would you have taken Jefferson at two?

193
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,719
Speaker 1: Probably? Yeah, So Jefferson was coming off the board the

194
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: first two picks. I was probably gonna go Jefferson there,

195
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: but it got us number three with Bijon Robinson. Kevin

196
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: Tompkins takes Bijon Robinson at the number three overall spot.

197
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: Maybe the big headline though in the first round, and

198
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to ask him about this. On Thursday,

199
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: Lakwan was at the number four spot. He has been

200
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: talking up Poka Nakua all off season and he had

201
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: a chance to take Pooka and he takes aman Ross

202
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: Saint Brown.

203
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: Instead, which literally last week we did our rankings, both

204
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 2: me and Lakuan had Hookah as wide receiver.

205
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: Two. He takes a Monro instead, So again he is

206
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: en route to New Orleans. When we talked to him

207
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: on Thursday, this is going to be the first question

208
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: we ask is well, probably the second questions. I'll proably

209
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: ask him what's the best thing he ate? But the

210
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: second question was like, why did you take Amanrau over

211
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: Puka at the number four spot? He didn't text us

212
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: where he was like I want to see where he goes.

213
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: But I was sitting there at twelve, Like, yo, if

214
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: he got by Laqwan, there's an actual hands he makes

215
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: it to me. Now he went ninth overall, But yeah,

216
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 2: I think that's a great value for Puca right there.

217
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, absolutely, So I'm on Rago's four. Sa Quon

218
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: Barkley goes five, Ceed Lamb at six, Jamiir Gibbs is seven.

219
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: AJ Brown at eight. Now, AJ Brown is one that

220
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sure about. I mean, it's not

221
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: a talent issue, it's just that last year the passing

222
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: volume was diminished significantly in Philadelphia, and it feels like

223
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: that is a risk at eight for me.

224
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: I am in AJ Brown Stan. I love him, and

225
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: I'm I don't know if I was the highest of

226
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: the three of us when we ranked him, but even so,

227
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: I had the three wide receivers that went after him

228
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: ahead of AJ Brown, So I like him a lot

229
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: more like if he was there for me at twelve

230
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: rather than the guy I took, which was Nico Collins.

231
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: I probably like if you flip those two, I probably

232
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: still take Aj at twelve, but I I like him

233
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: a lot more as like a late first early second

234
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,119
Speaker 2: round pick than I do middle of the first.

235
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: So there he goes. He goes at one dot eight.

236
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: You mentioned Puka is at nine, Malik Neighbors goes number

237
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: ten overall, bres Hall at eleven, and then you finished

238
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: out round one with Nico Collins. For running backs in

239
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: the first round, is that a surprise to you a bit?

240
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 2: Not the first three, because I think Bijon, Saquon and

241
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: Gibbs are going to firmly be like first even like

242
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 2: probably middle first round picks. Earlier, I was not only

243
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 2: to see a fourth one go, but who the fourth

244
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 2: one was in Breze Hall. Like I I think Brits

245
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: Hall is more of a second round pick in drafts

246
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: next year than a first.

247
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: Breese Hall is one that's curious to me because I

248
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: think he's a borderline first round guy. Again, it's based

249
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: on ability, and it's based on a belief that whatever

250
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: happens with the Jets, whoever their quarterback is going to be, however,

251
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: this offense is going to be set up that they

252
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: are going to feature one of the more talented backs

253
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: in the league. And I that is sort of my

254
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: argument for him in the first round. My argument for

255
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: him out of the first round is it's the Jets.

256
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: It's chaos. You just don't really know what's going to

257
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: happen because there's so many unanswered questions in this offense. Again,

258
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: I get it, it's mid February, but there's just so

259
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: many unanswered questions that it's hard to plant the flag.

260
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: Like you want your first round pick to be a

261
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: guy that you know with certainty is going to produce,

262
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: and there's just a lot of questions around around Breeze

263
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: Hall at this point into the second a little bit

264
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: more running back heavy. We had six running backs off

265
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: the board. You started it with von Hian. You mentioned

266
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: he was your He's not your highest ranked overall, right,

267
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: he was just the highest ranked running back still available.

268
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: You have him as my so the big the top three,

269
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: and then I have Hn after that. Okay, so you

270
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: take to start the round. We did get our first

271
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: rookie in the second round, Ashton Genty. Nate Yankee takes

272
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: him from at the two dot eight spot, so we

273
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: actually started Nate starts with Saquon Barkley and Ashton Johnty,

274
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: which again in February, I'm not gonna lie to you,

275
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: that looks pretty awesome. Yeah, and I feel like this

276
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: is probably like the lowest portion of that. Like, I

277
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: don't see Jens falling much further than this unless he

278
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: goes to like an awful landing spot. But I think

279
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: there's only room for growth. Because we were talking about

280
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: it last week, Like, if he goes to a team

281
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: where they just hand him the keys in year one

282
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: and let him run wild, he is going to be,

283
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: in my opinion, a late first or early second round pick.

284
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: US fantasy guys love rookies, so not only is this

285
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: a pick that makes you look smart now, a month

286
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: from now, we might be like, wow, that was a

287
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: great value.

288
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean that's the thing, right, Depending on what

289
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: he goes, it's not inconceivable that he slides into the

290
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: first round. I mean I've seen mock drafts with John

291
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: c getting drafted fairly early in the in the first round.

292
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen mox with the Raiders taking him

293
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: at six. You know, I don't know if that really happens,

294
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: but that's where we are sort of in mock draft season,

295
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: like real NFL draft mock season at this point. There

296
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: was a run on wide receivers early in the second round.

297
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: Bryan Thomas Junior, followed by Drake London, followed by Marvin

298
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Harrison that I was just saying, hey, how are we

299
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: feeling about Marvin Harris because year one was a major disappointment.

300
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I it was a It was a disappointment because

301
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: of the expectations that we put on him and if

302
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: he this is where he's going to go in drafts,

303
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: we're not lowering those expectations at all. I don't like

304
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: him going there. Like I would have took Tyreek over him.

305
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: I would have took Eric Wilson over him. This might

306
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: sound crazy we're getting into round three here, but like

307
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 2: I would take Lad McConkey over him JSN. So at

308
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: least as of now, things could change again, we're still

309
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: in early February or mid February. But as of right now,

310
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: that to me is my least favorite pick in the

311
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 2: second round. I was gonna say though, last week Lakwan

312
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: was like, I'm the low guy on Kyrien Williams. He

313
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 2: took him in the second round, he passed.

314
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: So he passed on Puka, he takes Kyron. I'm I

315
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: don't know if he was hacked or what was going

316
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: on with Lakwan.

317
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: The Cooper Cup. Later on, like dude, there's a lot

318
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: of rams going on with this, uh, this draft of his.

319
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: There's a whole Yeah, there's a whole lot happening with

320
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: Lawan's team. Yeah. I am sad he's not here because

321
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: he has some things he has to answer for. Uh

322
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: for sure, I'm Christian McCaffrey at two six. I don't

323
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: hate it. I just I think I'm hesitant to draft

324
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: McCaffrey at all this year.

325
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 2: I get it, if you're gonna take him, I think

326
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: the second round is where you have to. And ye,

327
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: there's obviously like he could be the RB one again,

328
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: Like there's an obvious upside there. But I also feel

329
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: like he's riskier now than because in past years when

330
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 2: he missed time, I was always like, it's fine, like

331
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: draft him, Like especially that one year where he it

332
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: was like a shoulder injury and a hamstring injury. I'm like,

333
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: those two things aren't connected at all. It was just

334
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 2: bad luck. But he's older now, there's more wear and

335
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: tear on the tires and the Achilles thing that that

336
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: I hear Achilles, and I immediately am like I don't

337
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 2: want to touch that at all. And and you as

338
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: a forty nine Ers fan know how how big of

339
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: a story it was and how hard it was to

340
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 2: trust him last year. So if you're out on him,

341
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: that only makes me want to be even more so

342
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 2: out on him.

343
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: Well, it's well, it was hard to trust McCaffrey. It's

344
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: even harder to trust the forty nine er organization when

345
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: it comes to information about you know, their injury. And

346
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: I get it, like it's not advantageous to just blab

347
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: to the world like what a guy's situation is. But

348
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: the fact that the organization kind of kept stringing this

349
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: along during the season only to basically, you know, we

350
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: didn't get much right. It was forever before he got

351
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: on the field, and it didn't last very long before

352
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 1: he aggravated the injury, and we just didn't see him

353
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 1: again for the rest of the year. So I, you know,

354
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: I just have a little bit of nervousness. You know,

355
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: maybe if he falls a little farther, we can talk

356
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: about it. First sight end off the board, brock Bouers

357
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: at the two ten spots, You feel okay with that?

358
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I, And I didn't even have to what I

359
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 2: saw the next tight end go off the board. I

360
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 2: didn't even need to look at who it was that

361
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 2: selected him.

362
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: That's right, because Buyers goes two ten. I come around

363
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: the second pick of the third round and I took

364
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: Trey McBride. Yeah, I just I don't want to be

365
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: the person streaming tight end. I can't. You know, I've

366
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: planted my flag that McBride's going to finish the year

367
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: as the tight end one. So this was sort of

368
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: me reaffirming that belief by making him the same and tied

369
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: in off the board, taking him with the second pick

370
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: in the third round. First quarterback off the board happens

371
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: in the third round. You know, I know you're okay

372
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen being the first quarterback off the board?

373
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: Are you okay with him at three seven?

374
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 2: I'm okay with him there, But I'm never going to

375
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 2: be the person doing it because likely you know, I

376
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 2: love Alan, that's my guy. But like, what's the difference

377
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: between him and al and Lamar? Like a lot of

378
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 2: people are gonna have Lamars QB one coming into next year,

379
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: and Lamar went what was it?

380
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: Nine spots later?

381
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 2: Nine spots later, and then you get Jaden Daniels over

382
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: a round later. You, I thought, came away with the

383
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 2: best quarterback value, Marcus, because you got Jalen Hurts in

384
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: the fifth round, and I keep saying I think there's

385
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: like a clear cut top five, but I want the

386
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: fifth one. And it does appear that Hurts is going

387
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 2: to be the fifth one off the board. And you

388
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: get him over two rounds after Josh Allen and over

389
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 2: a round later or close to a round later than

390
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: like Lamar and those other guys. I think that's just

391
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: a great value. Yeah.

392
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: I felt good about it again because it was it

393
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: was right at the cutoff where look, if I didn't

394
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: get Hurts, then I was definitely gonna wait on a quarterback.

395
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: But the fact that he was still there second pick

396
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: of the fifth round, I said, Okay, I can pull

397
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: the trigger on this, and I can feel okay, and

398
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: I can continue sort of roster buildings. So by the

399
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: fifth round I've got I got two wide receivers and

400
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase in the first. I took Brandon Ayuk in

401
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: the fourth at the end of the fourth round just

402
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: because I feel like he's going to rebound, and especially

403
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: if the Niners, if they do trade Deebo Samuel, I healthy,

404
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk still gets plenty of targets there in that offense.

405
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: So I got my two receivers. I took Josh Jacobs

406
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: in the second, I took Trade McBride in the third,

407
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: and I got Jalen Hurts in the fifth. So I

408
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: feel really good about those first five picks.

409
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: I almost took Brandon Ayuk in my fourth round pick,

410
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 2: and then you got him at the end of the fourth,

411
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 2: So full rounds between us.

412
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: And that's where. But it's right about that spot where

413
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: I felt a little bit yeah about the receivers that

414
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: were out there, Like I took Ayuk at four to

415
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: eleven to pick right before him was Xavier Worthy earlier

416
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: in that round, DK metcalf went. But some of the

417
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: receivers that went right after Iu, Chris olave Goo's early

418
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: fifth Jamison Williams early fifth, rookie Teed McMillan out of

419
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: the University of Arizona was early in the fifth round.

420
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: Jalen waddles, A, Flowers, Rashi Rice good players, just I

421
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: didn't feel comfortable with them in that spot.

422
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: I felt the same and I'm the one that took

423
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 2: Rashi Rice. And the reason I did well because all

424
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 2: those other names you said were gone by it came

425
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 2: to me, but I also felt like you, like, I

426
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 2: don't love any of these guys, so I'm gonna go

427
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 2: for the one that I think has the most upside,

428
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 2: and that to me was Rashi Rice. But at that point,

429
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 2: but I also agree with you one hundred percent with

430
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 2: what you like. I Duke is going to be or

431
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 2: should be the number one wide receiver, top target in

432
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: this forty nine ers offense this year, and we already

433
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: saw it like last year, was going two rounds earlier

434
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: than this, so you're getting a discount already and he

435
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 2: could be even better.

436
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, And on top of it, with IUK, the injury

437
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: happened relatively early in the season. He played seven games,

438
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: so it's kind of in the earlier part of the season,

439
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: so it's given him a little longer runway to get healthy,

440
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: to rehab a little bit, and hopefully now that he's

441
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: got a contract, we see him at training camp, we

442
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: see him actually working out with the team, so he's

443
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: ready to go for week once. That gives me a

444
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: little bit more more confidence about it, got plenty more

445
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: to dive into. That is just a quick overview of

446
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: the first five rounds or so, we're gonna get into

447
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: some more favorite picks, maybe questionable picks, just some of

448
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: the early overall takeaways from what we took out of

449
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: this first mock draft. Stick around for more of the

450
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show, diving into our first mock of

451
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: the off season. Florio mentioned at the top of the show,

452
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: we are hoping to do maybe one of these a month.

453
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: They're bouts and great putting it out there on social media.

454
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: Having a lot of different folks jump in definitely better

455
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: than having it be an auto draft only with the

456
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: three of us, because then that just throws things off.

457
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: But kind of diving in back to the sixth round here,

458
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: at this point, it just sort of seemed like, I

459
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: don't know if there was a real flow to the

460
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: draft from this point on. And I get the sense

461
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: like that has a lot to do with because it's

462
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: so early and ADPs haven't settled and we haven't gone

463
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 1: through free agency yet, that people haven't really figured out

464
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: where a lot of guys should be slotted right now.

465
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a lot of people spend like and

466
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 2: it's what we have kind of been focusing on, is

467
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 2: like the early portion of the draft because the high

468
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: end guys we kind of know. Some of them still

469
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 2: could change via free agency or quarter back or whatever.

470
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 2: But for the most part, these are guys that are

471
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: kind of they're so good that they're locked into their

472
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: team and their role. But when you get into the

473
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 2: middle and later portions of the draft, yeah, a lot

474
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 2: of that comes down to like volume, opportunity, stuff like that,

475
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: and we don't we don't have any of those answers yet.

476
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: You also did see older players fall, probably like I

477
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: was shocked DeVante. I'm not taking Davante Adams most likely,

478
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 2: but middle of the seventh round, Like to me, that

479
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 2: felt like a like, Okay, he's probably fell further than

480
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 2: he should have.

481
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: Probably, But I think everybody sort of had the same feeling,

482
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: right because I looked at DeVante adams name and it's

483
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: sat at the top of the list for a long time,

484
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: and I was like, I can't do it. You know,

485
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't know where he's going to be. I don't

486
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: know what his situation is. Yeah, he's still one of

487
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: the better receivers in the NFL, but he is getting older,

488
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: you know. I think it's just there were so many

489
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: question marks, and I think a lot of people just

490
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: sort of passed to the point whereas you mentioned, then

491
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: suddenly you're in the middle of the seventh round and

492
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: it's like what are we doing here? And and then

493
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: he ends up getting drafted. So yeah, I just it

494
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: just felt like there was a weird flow to this draft.

495
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't know about you. I got to the eighth round.

496
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: I took Stefan Diggs. At the end of the eighth round,

497
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: I just looked at the list and I'm like, I

498
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: don't I don't love any of the options out there anymore.

499
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: Like it just seemed to all fall apart by like

500
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: late seventh early eighth round.

501
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: For me, I think you did a good job there.

502
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 2: Of like, Diggs is a safer option. He doesn't bring

503
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: like the top five upside that it used to bring,

504
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 2: but he's still very very safe. But then you paired

505
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 2: him with Hollywood Brown, who brings absolutely no floor but

506
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 2: a lot of upside as the potential big play threat

507
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs. So that's something when I'm in the

508
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 2: later rounds of drafts that I will do. Sometimes I'll

509
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 2: be like, all right, I'm gonna get this guy who

510
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: if I'm in a pinch or whatever, or or if

511
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 2: I still am filling out my roster. I don't mind

512
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: like my starting lineup. I don't mind starting this guy,

513
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna pair him with someone that if he hits,

514
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 2: I'm pulling Digs out of my lineup for this guy

515
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: because the upside is so high. So that's the strategy

516
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: that I love to do, especially that portion of the draft.

517
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and that's sort of what I went. Three

518
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers in a row seven, eight nine. It's like

519
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: Romo Dunes in the seventh, Stefan Diggs in the eighth,

520
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: and in Hollywood Brown in the ninth. So at that

521
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: point I felt like I was pretty good at wide receiver.

522
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: I gotta get back to your draft, though, because like

523
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: six seven eighties took TJ. Hockinson, which I know you

524
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: said you were kind of gotta weight on a tight end.

525
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: Is this about where you plan to make the move

526
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: when you can.

527
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 2: So I think what I'm kind of figuring out is

528
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: I'm probably like five six if I could get one

529
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 2: of like Kittle Andrews Hockinson, I think I'll pull I'll

530
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: pull that on, like pull the trigger on that. But

531
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,479
Speaker 2: if I miss out on those guys, then I'm just

532
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 2: I'm saying, whatever, and I'll be one of these teams

533
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: that took their tight end and like the tenth round er.

534
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: So but I don't know. I felt like at six,

535
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: just like you were saying, like, I didn't love I

536
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: already had three wide receivers at that point. I didn't

537
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 2: love any of the others like George Pickens I was considering.

538
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 2: I definitely did not like any of the running backs

539
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: that were there, not enough to take as my third.

540
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: So I was like, and quarterback, my plan was to wait.

541
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: So I was like, all right, I'll take the tight

542
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 2: end here that me I don't mean and you were

543
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 2: in on TJ. Hockinson, Lakwan is not. But I feel

544
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: like a healthy TJ. Hockinson could get me nine hundred

545
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 2: yards and like six seven touchdowns and be a top

546
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 2: five tight end.

547
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I'm with you on that. I think. You know,

548
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: last year, obviously he was coming back from a major injury.

549
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: We didn't see him until late in the season. It

550
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: took him a while to sort of get up to speed.

551
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: But I'm with you, I think a healthy TJ. Hawkinson

552
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,959
Speaker 1: is still a very productive player.

553
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 2: Do you think I made a mistake taking him over

554
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 2: Andrews cause I went. Once I saw Mark Andrews go

555
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: right after me, I was like, did I did I

556
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: go wrong?

557
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: I don't think so, I don't, and I like Mark Andrews.

558
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: But you do start to wonder if if the decline

559
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: is happening a little bit. That was my concern, you

560
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: know that, just whether or not he's starting to decline

561
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: a little, partially just because of him, partially because it

562
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: seems like the Ravens want to incorporate wide receivers more.

563
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: You know what we saw out of Zay Flowers. You know,

564
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know what Rashad Bateman is going

565
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: to be at this point, but it does seem like

566
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: they want to start incorporating other pass catchers. You know,

567
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: Isaiah likely had a huge game in Week one. He

568
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: might be the best tight end two in football, like

569
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: I think most teams likely as a starter. Probably it

570
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: probably is for sure. So no, I don't. I don't

571
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: think you you went wrong by by taking Hawkinson over

572
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: Andrews at all.

573
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 2: Thank you, because I I that was the one pick

574
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: that when I made it, I was like, you ever

575
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: had that? I'm sure you have happened on time. But

576
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 2: like when you make a pick and then you immediately

577
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: start second guessing, like, ah, did I leave the better

578
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: player on the board, Like.

579
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: Usually it's the it's the oh crap, I forgot that

580
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: dude was there? Ye what am I doing this sort

581
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: of thing? So no, I understand it, But I think

582
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: you were fine at that one. Just sort of scanning

583
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: the rest of this year. Any thought, like, so you

584
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: get Kyler Murray over Jordan Love. The thoughts on that

585
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield comes off the board fairly late in the

586
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: ninth round, I mean, after Love, after Nicks. That surprised me.

587
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: I think a little bit.

588
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: I'm cool with Murray going ahead of Love because he

589
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 2: can run. But I I and look, I was the

590
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes guy when we did our rankings last week.

591
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 2: I was the only one that had him in the

592
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: top six. But I think after the top five quarterbacks

593
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: there should be a multiple round gap between that cause,

594
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 2: like to me, the top five guys are the clear

595
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: cut five best fantasy quarterbacks in the game. So like

596
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 2: to me, taking Mahomes four picks after you took Jalen

597
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 2: Hurts felt like throwing all the value away, right, being

598
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: like I don't want to miss out on a quarterback,

599
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 2: I'm chasing it and even getting like Kyler Murray in

600
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 2: the sixth round, Like, I don't think that's a big

601
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: enough gap for me to want to take a quarterback. There.

602
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: There were a lot of quarterbacks that went like bo

603
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: Knicks winning round eight, Baker, and nine. I didn't take

604
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: my quarterbacks till round eleven and twelve, and I took

605
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: Kleb and Drake May, but like Herbert and Goff went

606
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: later than that. Purdy dak So to me, I understand

607
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: firmly taking a top five quarterback, but if you miss

608
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: out on those top five, I think you should immediately

609
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: pivot to Like, all right, I'm gonna wait a few

610
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 2: rounds now, because as much as I love like Mahomes

611
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 2: is my QB six, if I'm not getting any discount

612
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 2: and I'm paying a similar price to the top five, now,

613
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: I need him to be as good as those guys,

614
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: and I don't feel comfortable that he will be. So yeah,

615
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: that Mahomes is probably my least favorite pick in this draft,

616
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 2: but all of the quarterbacks that win right after the

617
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: top five, I feel like I'd rather just wait a

618
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 2: couple rounds to get someone that's pretty similar.

619
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: So Kyler goes with the last pick in the sixth round.

620
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: We go over a round until the next quarterback, which

621
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: is Jordan Love at eight dot two. Bo Nicks later

622
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: that round at eight dot nine Baker Mayfield at nine

623
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: to three. Then after Baker we go again. We go

624
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: almost a full round.

625
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: C J.

626
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: Stroud goes at at in the tenth round. I mean,

627
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: I guess I don't hate it because the person who

628
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 1: took Stroud also took Josh Allen, So I guess this

629
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: is where we are where CJ. Stroud is a QB two.

630
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: Now huh, he's a QB two. But if I have

631
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, like at that point where CJ. Stroud was,

632
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 2: there was still so many good quarterbacks that I would

633
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 2: have just waited. But I do think it's something that

634
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: we spoke about last week. But like quarterback, I don't

635
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: want to say it's deeper than ever because we say

636
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: that every year. But there's a lot of good options

637
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 2: that I feel good about that you don't need to

638
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 2: take as like a top twelve. Like I understand, not

639
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: everyone is gonna want to go with Caleb and Drake

640
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: may as their guys because there's a lot of projection

641
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: there and a lot of hope that they take the

642
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: next step. But I also would argue there's a lot

643
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: of upside there with both of them. So I could

644
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 2: have paired one of those two upside guys with a

645
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: Dak or a Golf or a Herbert or a Purdy,

646
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: someone safe. And with this draft really affirmed to me,

647
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 2: Marcus is if I don't get a top five quarterback,

648
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 2: I'm waiting, and I'm just taking two of these guys

649
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 2: that I believe are all in this huge tier of

650
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 2: second quarterbacks which is ten plus deep. That to me,

651
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 2: they're all like I know, Lakwan loves bon Nicks, I

652
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 2: don't think there's a huge difference between bo Nicks and

653
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: Drake May and I got a four round discount on them.

654
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 2: Like there's a lot of quarterbacks like that, where like

655
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: I'd rather have Caleb over Stroud straight up got him

656
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: around and a half later. I think there's not a

657
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: huge difference between someone like Jordan Love and Brock Purdy,

658
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: but you got a four round discount on them. So

659
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 2: it just kind of made me realize that waiting is

660
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: probably the way I'm going with quarterback this year.

661
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: So I would say this because I saw your Caleb

662
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: Drake May and back to back rounds. In fact, with

663
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: back to back picks Caleb to in the eleventh round

664
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: Drake May to start the twelf. That feels like a

665
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: February Yes, like it feels like a thing that you

666
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,719
Speaker 1: do in February to say like, hey, this is like,

667
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: this is what I like. These are guys. I like that.

668
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: Maybe you get to August and you're starting to draft

669
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: a little bit for real, You're.

670
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, maybe not, I'll pair one with like a

671
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: safer guy. I also think both of those two guys, though,

672
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 2: are going their ADPs are going to go up in

673
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 2: my vimion, like I think the Patriots bringing receivers or whatever,

674
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 2: and I think everyone just realizes, like Caleb is still

675
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 2: good and he's Ben Johnson now, and like, yeah, that's

676
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: all we really need.

677
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, right after you took Drake May Scheud where Sanders

678
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: goes off the board, you mentioned at the top a

679
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: lot of rookies and I'm looking pff night who he

680
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: took one, two, three, four in the chart five six rookies.

681
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: He drafted six rookies in this one started with John

682
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: c in the second he took Omarion Hampton in the sixth,

683
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,240
Speaker 1: a Meccabuka, a wide receiver from Ohio State in the eighth.

684
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 1: Let's see who he took. Uh, Let's see Caleb Johnson

685
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 1: that was in the ninth round. I took Matt Matthew

686
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: Golden wide receiver from Texas in the eleventh. And then

687
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: with Cam Loveland is it Colston Loveland, I should say,

688
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: tied in from Michigan that was in the twelfth round.

689
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: So he was all and he pushed all the chips

690
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: in the rookies.

691
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: I will fully admit come next month, I will probably

692
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 2: be more aggressive with the rookies because I'm still in

693
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 2: the early process of getting ready for the NFL Draft.

694
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 2: I know some guys that I like, but I'm not

695
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 2: at the point where I'm like flag planting for them

696
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 2: or anything yet. If we run this back in a month,

697
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 2: I probably will feel a little bit different. But I

698
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 2: understand his thinking because rookies are the ultimate lottery ticket. Like, yeah,

699
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: every year, at the end of the year, I go

700
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 2: look through like the top scorers and figure out who

701
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 2: stands out, and like it's almost always rookies that are

702
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 2: the ones that are Like I did not expect this

703
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: person to be here.

704
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, and I get it right. It's and

705
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: again this is this is February too. Like you can

706
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: sort of take these big swings and you can make

707
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: these declarations. I do think some of these guys as

708
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 1: more people start to kind of study them as we

709
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 1: go through the combine, because you know, the combine always

710
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: gives guys a bump in certain places. I think we

711
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: will start to see some of these ADPs for some

712
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: of these rookies go up. I took cam Ward in

713
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: the thirteenth. I just didn't want to be left out.

714
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to have a rookie, you know, So I

715
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: pair him with Jalen Hurts. I do. I'm curious. I

716
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:23,240
Speaker 1: think it'll be interesting.

717
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 2: Do you do you have a preference yet between Sanders

718
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 2: and Ward.

719
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: I think I prefer cam Ward over Sar Sanders. You know,

720
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: I watched Sudur at Colorado. I watched it more last

721
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: year than this year. I did catch a couple of

722
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: games this year. I don't think his ceiling.

723
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 3: Is quite as high as Wards is, so just like you,

724
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 3: I think he I think he has the safer floor,

725
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 3: like I think you can you kind of know what

726
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 3: you're getting out of him.

727
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 2: He's pro ready. But Ward's tools to me are are

728
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 2: so elite one that I think, like you said, the

729
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 2: upside is higher. But I also think for fantasy, he

730
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: is going He's gonna run a little bit more. He's

731
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 2: got a stronger arm, some more big play capability. When

732
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 2: I watched Sanders, I was like, he runs, he can run,

733
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 2: but he doesn't. It's a lot like Kalob. I feel

734
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 2: like like he doesn't want to run. If anything, he

735
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 2: wants to use his legs to create for his arm.

736
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was certainly that first year at Colorado.

737
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: That was one of my frustrations watching Shoulders that I

738
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: felt like he probably should have run more, especially because

739
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: that first year the offensive line was so bad that

740
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: he was consistently under pressure that I felt like, hey man,

741
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 1: every now and then, you just got to take off,

742
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 1: you know, do something so at least freeze the linebackers.

743
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: If they know that you can take off, then they

744
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: got to really think about it a whole lot. But

745
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: that was never the case that I felt he held

746
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: the ball too long. I think it improved a little

747
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: bit last year, but I think I think that's an

748
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: element of his game that I would like to see

749
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: get used a little more.

750
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 2: I think people are gonna see him and be like,

751
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: he could be like Jaden Daniels. But I don't think

752
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 2: he's ever gonna run like that.

753
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: No, I don't. I just don't think that's his game.

754
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: It's just yeah, that's just not who he is as

755
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: a as a quarterback. So I you know, I think

756
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: if that's what you're hoping for, I think you're going

757
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: to be very disappointed. All right, So you asked me

758
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: about about taking Hawkinson, I got to ask you about

759
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: a thing I did in the kind of later rounds.

760
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: I went three three rounds of a round. I went

761
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: Blake Kormanton Rico Dowdell at eleven, Kamani Vidal at twelve.

762
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 1: I already had Josh Jacobs and Aaron Jones. These sort

763
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,959
Speaker 1: of felt like, hey man, these guys potentially could pop off.

764
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't know about Dwell so much, but I do

765
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: think Korum maybe gets a bigger role. I think Vadal

766
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: potentially gets a bigger role. Understanding that there may be

767
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 1: guys ahead of them, but I just sort of, you know,

768
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: they're not quite the lottery ticket of a rookie, but

769
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: you know there may be a scratcher or something.

770
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 2: No. I think you crushed it with this portion of

771
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 2: the draft because uh Korum, like you said, could one,

772
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 2: he's one injury away from becoming in like an RB one,

773
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 2: because if Kiren goes down, all of that workload is

774
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 2: going to play koram Videll. We saw the flashes at

775
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: times last year, but Gus Edwards is dust at this point,

776
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 2: I think. And as much as JK. Dobbins was awesome,

777
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 2: there's a long injury history there. Even last year he

778
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 2: missed time with injuries. So if they don't bring anyone in,

779
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 2: he's an injury away from being a weekly RB two,

780
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 2: I would say. And then Rico free agent, depends where

781
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: he goes. But I mean, you got a running back

782
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 2: who just put up a thousand yards in round eleven

783
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 2: like that. That's never a bad pick.

784
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I sort of I sort of enjoyed,

785
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: you know that little run I had of three straight

786
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: running backs. It was like I said, it's not quite

787
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: zero RB, but sort of zero RB.

788
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: I didn't one of my picks that I didn't understand

789
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: at all. Why did de Hunter Swift make it to

790
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: the last pick in the ninth round.

791
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: I don't know other than other than I you know,

792
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: I've seen some things that he could end up being

793
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: kind of a cap casualty. I guess, Okay, I don't

794
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: know if I don't even know if that's the case.

795
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm I might just be making that up. I'm not

796
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: even sure. So I'm trying to I try to figure

797
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: out why it is that that you got him at

798
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: nine to twelve. I don't know.

799
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 2: At no point in this draft was I'm like, I

800
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 2: need DeAndre Swift. But I'm sitting there in the ninth round,

801
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 2: I have two running backs, and I'm like, he's All

802
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: the other guys on the board here are backup, like

803
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 2: they're like, yeah, legitimately, like zach Sharbonint went ahead of him,

804
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 2: a bunch of rookies win ahead of him, but like

805
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: I got him. And then in the next round, like

806
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 2: that's when like Korum and and Spears and Javonte were going.

807
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 2: So I was like, I I'm not a huge DeAndre

808
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 2: Swift fan, but this just feels like good value. And

809
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 2: this won't be the case come August if he's the

810
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 2: bear starting running back.

811
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of good values, You're getting Ricky

812
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 1: Piersall in the tenth feels really nice.

813
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 2: I won't lie. I wanted to take Travis Hunter there,

814
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: but I was like, Pierceall feels like just because he

815
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 2: could be the leadst this.

816
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: Top slot guy this year. Yeah again, I mean with

817
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, Debo asking for a trade and the Niners

818
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: looking as though they were going to accommodate that request.

819
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: The thought process when Piersall was drafted is that he

820
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: was going to be the eventual replacement for either Brandon

821
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,439
Speaker 1: Ayuk or Deebo Samuel, whichever one of them didn't get

822
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: signed to a contract. They obviously bring Ayuk back. Now

823
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: it looks like Debo's going to be heading out. It

824
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: really does feel like it's opened the door for Ricky Piersol. Now,

825
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: mind you, Piersall had that huge game late in the season.

826
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: The Niners lost to the Lions, but Piersall eight catches

827
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: for one hundred and forty one yards at a touchdown.

828
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: He had another really good game kind of in mid

829
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 1: November where he had four for seventy three in a touchdown.

830
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: So you know, we have seen Ricky Pearsall go out

831
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: and be productive. And now with the opportunity to have

832
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: more snaps, more.

833
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 2: Targets, not be coming off of a gunshot injury.

834
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,760
Speaker 1: That part too, it does feel like that's an ADP

835
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: that's to go up. I think people are going to

836
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: start to catch on and like, oh yeah, I thought.

837
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 2: Him, and I will admit like I loved getting Jalen

838
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 2: McMillan in round eight, but that felt like a the

839
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 2: ADP was very suppressed. This won't be the case in

840
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: the summer.

841
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 1: You know. It's also some of that too, like as

842
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: you as we're doing mocks on different platforms and the

843
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: draft list is what it is, because that has a

844
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: lot to do with ADPs. I think early on, because

845
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you do try to scroll, sometimes you

846
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: miss names, or the way things are set up, you

847
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 1: know some guys are higher on the list and so

848
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: you just end up drafting them. I think as ADPs

849
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: start to come into form, and as different platforms sort

850
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: of change their rankings, lists and their draft list, I

851
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 1: think you'll start to see some of these change. But man,

852
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: Piercell on the tenth it feels great, Like I.

853
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 2: Scrolled pretty far on Running Back and I did not

854
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 2: see Bucky Irving's name, and he ended up going in

855
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 2: the fourth round. I don't think he goes in the

856
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 2: fourth round at all, Like I didn't. He's a second

857
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,959
Speaker 2: maybe probably third round pick in my opinion next year.

858
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 2: But that felt like one to me that was like, Oh,

859
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 2: if his name was higher on the list, he probably doesn't.

860
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: Fall that far. Yeah. Some other picks that that caught

861
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: in my eye. Tight end was interesting. Tyler Warren, who

862
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: I think is going to be a stud tight end

863
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: out of Penn State. He goes. He goes in the

864
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: eighth round, one pick ahead of Travis Kelsey. Kelsey's going

865
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: to be an interesting case because I guess, first we

866
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: need to know if he's actually playing football next year.

867
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 2: I said they gave him some March fourteenth, and people

868
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 2: who are like, oh, he's waiting to see if m

869
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 2: will be the show is worth retiring for or not.

870
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: So Yeah, Kelsey goes at the eight that six. He's

871
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: going to be one that I think is very much

872
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: in flux depending on what his future plans are going

873
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: to be. I don't know any other any other ones

874
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 1: maybe like the later rounds that jumped out to you good,

875
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: bad or otherwise.

876
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 2: Well, one I knew in the tenth round like once

877
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 2: tight end started going, I was like, I don't even

878
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 2: need to look at who's taking Johnny Smith. I know

879
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 2: that's Lakwan. I thought, to me, was interesting to see

880
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,720
Speaker 2: a couple of big like Amari Cooper in the eleventh round.

881
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 2: I know he's a free agent, but still, this is

882
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 2: a guy who's been a top four round pick for

883
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 2: years now, and then like Tank Dell. I understand injuries,

884
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,840
Speaker 2: but him going in round twelve kind of Marvin Mims

885
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: in the thirteenth, like no one pulls him up after

886
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 2: the end of year that he had. So yeah, to me,

887
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 2: it was more that some of these veterans, and I

888
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 2: felt like there was there was value on Year two players,

889
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 2: Like you got Ben Snatt, who everyone loved at this

890
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 2: time last year, you got him in the fifteenth round.

891
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 2: Because we're fantasy analysts. Fantasy people were like goldfish, Like

892
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 2: you put a new shiny toy in front of us,

893
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 2: and we're like, forget about all these guys we loved

894
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 2: last year. So I always think that Year two players

895
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 2: who didn't quite live up to expectation in year one

896
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 2: could be could be a value. And this kind of

897
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 2: showed that.

898
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I liked Sinnet. I did not think

899
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: last year was going to be his year. Zach Ertz

900
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: was still there, and granted Ertz obviously getting older, what

901
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: have you, but I just didn't think there was going

902
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: to be a real opening for him there last year.

903
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: This year could be a little bit different. I think

904
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: we see him get on the field a little bit.

905
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: One of the things I just I just noticed this

906
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: Pete Davidson talking about waiting on a quarterback, and then

907
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 1: in back to back rounds thirteen fourteen, he gets Justin

908
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: Herbert and Jared Goff. I mean to wait that long

909
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: and still get those two quarterbacks, That's that's a steal

910
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned.

911
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, which to me shows again like how deep that

912
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 2: position is. M I was surprised too. Anthony Richardson went

913
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 2: ahead of like Brock perty, Justin Herbert, Jared Goff. We

914
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 2: talked about Richardson last week that he brings all the

915
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 2: same upsides, so I think it's like a great pick,

916
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 2: But I did not think that he would go ahead

917
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 2: of some of those safer quarterbacks.

918
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, interesting too, because he had Nate poll Vote took

919
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: Richard's and at the end of the twelve paired him

920
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray, which I don't know. I feel like

921
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a ceiling on Kyler, like he's

922
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: hit his ceiling and Richardson we need him to get

923
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: up off the floor. So I you know, I would

924
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,479
Speaker 1: want I would want to have one of those guys

925
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: be a little more consistent and explosive, just for my

926
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: taste personally.

927
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 2: It is kind of crazy though, because last year those

928
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 2: guys were going like QB five and six.

929
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, not now, not now. I do love Lawan planting

930
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 1: his flag with Jalen Milroe. He has basically stated him

931
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: how much he loves Milroe. He takes him in the

932
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: fourteenth round that point, So that is kind of the

933
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: quick overview of it. You know, we're gonna go pick

934
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 1: by pick because that's kind of a little bit much.

935
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: But we will post this on social media so you

936
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: guys can take a look at that. You know how

937
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: this thing turned out. You can obviously certainly leave your

938
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: comments and your thoughts, tell us who you felt like

939
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: I had a good draft, who did not, what have you.

940
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: It's February. It's gonna change a whole lot. It'd be interesting.

941
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,839
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting like in in July to come back

942
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: and look at this one and be like, man, what

943
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,479
Speaker 1: were we thinking we should keep.

944
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 2: A screenshot of everyone that we do? And then like

945
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 2: so yeah, like come July, we could just look at

946
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,439
Speaker 2: all like six or whatever it will be and be like, wow,

947
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 2: look at we were idiots here right, like what we

948
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 2: did here? So like I always find that stuff fun.

949
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: And it told me like remember when you got Ricky

950
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: pearsall on the tenth, Now he's going in the seventh.

951
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: You know, stop.

952
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 2: Those kind of things by August.

953
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, those kind of things for sure.

954
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 2: Terry McLaurin in around end of round three though, I

955
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 2: I I was so sad I didn't get him. I

956
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 2: loved that pick.

957
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but one pick ahead of you just you just

958
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: missed him. And but then you got DJ Moore, which

959
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't think is a terrible actually paired him up

960
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: with Did you mean to pair him with Caleb? Was

961
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: that the plan or they just sort of happened? No,

962
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: that just kind of happened. Yeah, all right, I don't

963
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 1: hate it at all, not at all. Ten quick break,

964
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: come back. We will talk some Olympic sprinters maybe something

965
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: like that. Stick around for more of the NFL Fantasy

966
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: Football show. Wrap it up the show and as always

967
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: appreciate you hanging out with us. Saw this you know

968
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: coming across the webs. Recently, Tyreek Hill, who we all

969
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: know is very fast and who enjoys challenging other people,

970
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 1: has challenged Olympic gold medalists medalists. Easy for me to say,

971
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 1: Noah Lyles to a race in twenty twenty five. Now

972
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 1: we don't have a date, we don't have a length

973
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: of the race. Apparently Tyreek would prefer it being closer

974
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: to forty yards. Lyles understandably wants it to be one

975
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: hundred meters. That is one of his specialties. Simple question,

976
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 1: can Tyreek Hill beat an Olympic sprinter in a race? No?

977
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 2: I think he can, so I just have to google.

978
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 2: One yard is almost equivalent to one meter, so.

979
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: It's pretty close. Yeah.

980
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 2: Look, Tyreek is incredibly fast. I think he's too bulky though,

981
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 2: Like he's got a lot of muscle. Noah Lyles looks

982
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 2: cut up up, but he's definitely a skinnier dude. Also,

983
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 2: this is what Noah Lyles does every single day of

984
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 2: his life. Like Tyreek is fast with pads on and

985
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 2: like to cut in all of that, but just straight

986
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 2: sprint speed. I don't know. I'm gonna go with the

987
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 2: guy who's done it and won at a world champion

988
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 2: level before.

989
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: Well, I think I see. I think this is the

990
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: reason though Tyreek understands a shorter race benefits him just

991
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: because he is shorter than Lyles, he has shorter legs.

992
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: I think he gets up to top speed quicker. But

993
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: over the course of a longer race, when Lyles finally

994
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: gets going, I think he eats up that space. I

995
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: think he eats up that ground. Right, and you're talking

996
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,720
Speaker 1: about one hundred meters is about one hundred and ten yards,

997
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: So it's like you're starting, so you start on one

998
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: goal line and you go through the back of the

999
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: other end zone basically is what it is.

1000
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: That's insane. I did not realize it was that far.

1001
00:49:54,960 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about one hundred and ten yards. So I

1002
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,919
Speaker 1: think I think a longer race benefits Lyles. I think

1003
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: in the end, I think they'll probably meet in the

1004
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: middle somewhere like I don't know, sixty meters or something

1005
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, sixty seventy meters something like that is

1006
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,760
Speaker 1: probably where they they sort of split.

1007
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 2: The difference they do you remember a couple of years

1008
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 2: ago when the Pro Bowl did like a track race

1009
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 2: and Tyreek participated, but he didn't really run, Like, right, Tyreek,

1010
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 2: if you're if we're setting this up, you need to

1011
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 2: be going one hundred percent.

1012
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: Well, I think for this he will, right, because this

1013
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 1: is a chance for him to, yeah, sort of claim

1014
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: supremacy for NFL players, because I know that's the whole thing.

1015
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: It's you know, Noah Lyles likes to take shots at

1016
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: other sports. Tyreek Hill definitely wants to stand up for

1017
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: NFL players in a race. Yeah, so this is there,

1018
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: This is the opportunity.

1019
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 2: I understand Lyle's argument with like the whole you're not

1020
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 2: a world champion thing with other shits, but with football

1021
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,240
Speaker 2: it is null and void because please find another team

1022
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 2: outside of the thirty two NFL teams that could beat

1023
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 2: the in a game right now, Like you can't, You're.

1024
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 1: Not You're not gonna do it. I mean they are.

1025
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: They are the world champions by default because you know,

1026
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: it's our sport and no one else really plays I

1027
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: mean like no one else really plays it at a

1028
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 1: high level anywhere else in the world. It's not like basketball,

1029
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: where you know there are a lot of really good

1030
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: basketball players in other countries and good teams in other countries.

1031
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen that the gap between the USA

1032
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: and the other countries, at least in men's basketball, and

1033
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,760
Speaker 1: in women's I guess too, But certainly in men's basketball

1034
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: that gap has closed pretty significantly over the last few years.

1035
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 2: And in baseball, I don't know if we're if we're

1036
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 2: the we have the most volume America does, but I

1037
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 2: don't know if we have the best anymore. Like Otani

1038
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 2: is easily the best player in baseball.

1039
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: Well, and I the World Baseball Classic. I feel like

1040
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: it's legitimately up for grabs every couple of years, you know, like, yeah,

1041
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: the US is competitive, but Japan is very good. Uh,

1042
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 1: you know, Puerto Rico has its own team, they're very good.

1043
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: You know, Mexico, you can go. You can start picking

1044
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: naming countries that are all really talented.

1045
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 2: Dominican Republic always is stacked.

1046
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Dominican I mean, all these other countries have

1047
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 1: legitimate shots to win in baseball. You know, it's part

1048
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 1: of the reason, and that part of the reasoning was

1049
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: out of the Olympics for a while because we stopped

1050
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 1: winning it easily.

1051
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 2: I really don't want to send like pauls the season

1052
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 2: in the summer, but I'm always like I would sign

1053
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 2: up for that because that's when players are actually ready

1054
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 2: to compete. Whereas World Baseball Classic, they're also kind of

1055
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 2: using it to get ready for the season.

1056
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of spring training extra, is what

1057
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,760
Speaker 1: that is. Yeah. Now I would be down with taking

1058
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: a two week break for the Olympics. I think it

1059
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: would be a great way to showcase the sport. I

1060
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: know that the commissioner's not really for it. I know

1061
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: Shohey made a case that they should do it. I

1062
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: think it would be cool when everybody's like warmed up,

1063
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: ear ready to go. But then again, also if you're

1064
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: the Pirates and Paul Schemes blows out his arm playing

1065
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: in the Olympics, yeah you're not going to be thrilled

1066
00:52:58,080 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 1: about it.

1067
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 2: And the Dodgers pretty much our team Japan right.

1068
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: Now, so pretty much. Yeah, that is true, very very

1069
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 1: true for sure. So any other players you would like

1070
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: to see in a race, maybe not evenst like an

1071
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:12,320
Speaker 1: Olympic sprinter or anything.

1072
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 2: I think the obvious answer Xavier Worthy after what he

1073
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 2: did in the forty last year. I would still to

1074
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 2: this day, like we've had Chris Johnson on this show before,

1075
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 2: I to this day would love to see what what Like,

1076
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 2: I think he could outrun most NFL players today, even

1077
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 2: being as far removed from the game as he is.

1078
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 2: What I really want to see is let's have some

1079
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 2: big guys run right, like, yeah, one hundred meter for

1080
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 2: people who weigh over like three fifty or.

1081
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: Something like that. I think that's the thing that certainly

1082
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: non football fans I don't think understand is that, yeah,

1083
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: these guys are not you know, they're not as fast

1084
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: as Xavier Worthy. These guys are really fast. I mean

1085
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: they are shockingly fast for their size. The fact that

1086
00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 1: even these linemen are running forty yards in under six seconds, Like,

1087
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that a lot of people comprehend really

1088
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 1: how fast that is at that size. So I'd be

1089
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:11,359
Speaker 1: down for that.

1090
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 2: I think the combine has broken people's brains because, like

1091
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 2: you'll see a running back run like a four to

1092
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 2: six and it's like, oh, well, careers over for him.

1093
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 2: And the difference between four six and four to four

1094
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 2: is like a microscopic second, Like it's these guys are

1095
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 2: all extremely fast and athletic and good at what they do.

1096
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 2: And a offensive lineman could run forty yards faster than

1097
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 2: most humans can like that, that just shows you how.

1098
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 1: Good of an athlete they are. Yeah, one hundred percent.

1099
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: So I'd be down for that. And also I also

1100
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: want to just see, like, you know, I don't know,

1101
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford versus Patrick Mahomes or something like that.

1102
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 2: Old quarterback like Joe Flackover's Matt Stafford.

1103
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 1: Yeah that's why because for years I always wanted like

1104
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 1: a Peyton Manning Tom Brady foot race, Like that's what

1105
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: I wanted for a long time. Maybe we could still

1106
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: make that happen, Like I don't know, but you know

1107
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 1: I want something like that. Yeah, yeah, you don't get

1108
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: the Manning brother Let the Manning brothers race each other.

1109
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: I'd be down for that.

1110
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,280
Speaker 2: If Lakwan was here right now, he'd probably be saying,

1111
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 2: like I could beat Tyreek and Noah Lyles in the

1112
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 2: hundred meter.

1113
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: I mean, what animals, You gotta fight a kangaroo like

1114
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: he wants to fight a kangaroo Like I wouldn't. I

1115
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't put a whole lot of oh Hue, we love you, man,

1116
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: but you're not fighting a kangaroo. You're not beating Tyreek

1117
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: Hill in a race. For next show, I have to

1118
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: remember this.

1119
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask him in our text chain what he

1120
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 2: thinks he can run the forty in, just to see

1121
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 2: what numbers he puts out there.

1122
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I'm very curious about that too. So yeah,
