1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, Welcome into the Fantasy Pros Football Podcast. I'm

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Warmley, joined by Andrew Erickson and by Tom Strachan. Guys,

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: we are talking must have expert picks four every round.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: This is a jam packed episode. We are going through

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: our top targets through rounds one through ten. We are

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: also doing a more rapid fire version rounds eleven through fifteen.

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna hit on kind of like our favorite guy. Overall,

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: a lot of names to get through, so we're gonna

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: do no like preamble, how you do it. No pleasantry

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: is at the top. We all know each other. We're

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: diving right in here round one. I do want to

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: remind everybody though, that all of our twenty twenty five

13
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: consensus rankings and tiers can be found at fantasypros dot

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: com slash rankings. Round number one, Like I said, we're

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: going all the way through round fifteen. Ericson, who is

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: your top must have expert pick target in round one?

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 2: Well, assuming that you're not picking inside the top five,

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: because I feel pretty strong about that, I went for

19
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: a player that goes outside the top five that out

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: with a pick want six through twelve. You can get

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: this guy. I think almost every time Nico Collins wide receiver.

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: Of the few Houston Texans. If you look at the

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: betting markets, Jamar Chase surprising no one is the favorite

24
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: to leave the NFL and receiving yards right next to him.

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: According to the betting pros odds that we have listed

26
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: second chorist odds to leave the NFL receiving yards, it's

27
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: one mister Nico Collins. So I think that his ceiling

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: as the clearcut alpha in this Texans passing offense is immense.

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: Last two years with c. J. Stroud, he's top five

30
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: in receiving yards per game wide receiver six last year

31
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: in terms of points per game, I think that he's

32
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: going to see a boatload of targets. He's been super efficient.

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: So I think that when in doubt, if you're kind

34
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 2: of nervous about maybe some of the running backs at

35
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: the back end of round one, you just want to

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: lock and load with an alpha stud wide receiver who's

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: gonna put up fifteen hundred yards this season if he

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: stays healthy. Nico Collins is the guy for me.

39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: Niko is my wide receiver for this year. The reason

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: that I basically have I have no neighbors. I have

41
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: no amen Ra, I have no Puka, I have like

42
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: no Derrek, Henry, Ash and Geny. This year is because

43
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: every time I'm on the board in the second half

44
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: of the first Nico is there. And I'm like, if

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: you take out that elite group of six guys, the

46
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: three receivers, three running backs that I think we all

47
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: agree our tier one overall. Like Nico is my seventh

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 1: pick and he's usually available a couple of spots later.

49
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: Some leagues maybe not, but he usually is. And I

50
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: just agree with everything you said. The only thing I'm

51
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: worried about is did they do enough to fix the

52
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: offensive line and will that kind of hamstring the passing offense?

53
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: But it's been bad the last two years, I agree,

54
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: But yes, that's it. We've seen that he can produce

55
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: with it being bad.

56
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 3: But just for going the Bengals route, you don't care

57
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: about your offensive line and you just passed the ball.

58
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I like if they are doing I like

59
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: jayde Higgins, I like Jalen Nole, but like they will

60
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: be throwing to Nico Collins.

61
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: And there's still rookies and.

62
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: No part of me is worried about like, oh, Straut

63
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: took a step back in a year two, Like I

64
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: think that was offensive line related. I still think he's

65
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: really good, certainly good enough to support a guy who

66
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: like all the experts you know what they're talking about

67
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: with receivers, like like Matt Harmon is, like Nico Collins

68
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: is like the fourth best receiver in football, like like

69
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: like he is really really good. He's paired with a

70
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: great young quarterback. I think they've done at least just

71
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: enough to make the oppositie I'm better, And even if

72
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: they didn't, I don't think it matters. Like I love

73
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: Nico this year and I'm so happy to get him

74
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: late in the first. Every single time, Tom, you went

75
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: in a different direction where you didn't limit it to like, oh,

76
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: who can most people get that's available for your pick?

77
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: You got to have the number one pick.

78
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: Look great, This is the favorite picks in each round.

79
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: So like, if I have to choose to favorite pick,

80
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: then it's Jamar Chase and look, getting the one O

81
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: one is a treat. I've done almost three hundred drafts

82
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: this offseason. If the amount of times I've got the

83
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: one oh one has been disappointingly small, So of course

84
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: I want to talk about Jamar Chase because there's good

85
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: reason why he is the consensus. Like last year he

86
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 3: had almost two hundred yards more than anyone else. He

87
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: tied with Justin Jefferson at eighteen end zone targets. He

88
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: just became a red zone monster. That's something that Andrew

89
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 3: was talking about last year about how you know, when

90
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 3: you lead the league in red zone targets, it becomes

91
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: much easier to have the chance to become the wide

92
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: receiver one overall. And last year was the first year

93
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: where it felt like T Higgins wasn't hampering Jamar Chase's

94
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: upside whatsoever. Chase actually averaged more points with T Higgins

95
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 3: out there twenty four point seven PPR points compared to

96
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 3: when Higgins was missing at twenty one point three. And yes,

97
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 3: it is quite rare for one or one players to repeat,

98
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: but I just don't doubt him at all because last

99
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 3: year the Bengals past defense ranked twenty eighth in DVOA,

100
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: and you can make the argument that it looks so

101
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: much worse this year. So yeah, I think this one

102
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: it's definitely a layup. But like I don't get enough

103
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: chances to talk about Jamar Chase because it's just been

104
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 3: assumed since like March, but he is the consentus one

105
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: on one and we don't need to talk about it,

106
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,559
Speaker 3: and Jamar Chase deserves to be talked about.

107
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 1: I love the genre Robinsoning. I think he's a really, really,

108
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: really strong second overall pick. But to me, even as

109
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: much as I love a guy like that at number two,

110
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question every time somebody asked

111
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: me who should I take?

112
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: One?

113
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: Oh? One? Like I don't care what the scoring format.

114
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't care any Jamar Chase because unlike Saquon Barkley,

115
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: there's not this built in fear of taking this injury

116
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: related step back at this position like we have with Barkley.

117
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: And those were the two guys who had these historic

118
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: seasons last year. Barring a fluky, not predictable flukey injury

119
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: for Chase or Burrow. I don't understand what the case

120
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: is against Chase being the number one player in Fantasy

121
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: again this year. I really don't like. It's such a

122
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: It's like maybe the most perfect position. It's a situation

123
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: I should say that a Fantasy wide receiver has ever

124
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: been in, like marrying the talent, the quarterback, the defense,

125
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: just all of it. Like I Chase is such an

126
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: easy one, oh one for me. Having said that, I

127
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: really like picking late in the first round because I love, love,

128
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: love doubling up on receiver. My favorite two receivers to

129
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: double up on. It's rare that I can pull this off,

130
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: but it is doable are Nico Collins and Drake London,

131
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: which leads us to that's exactly who I was gonna say.

132
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: That leads us right into Ericson's pick here in round two. Ericson,

133
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: you are laying out my perfect draft here.

134
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: It's worms for perfect draft. It's Ryckson's perfect draft. We're

135
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: holding your hand holding here. Yeah, Drake London, that's the

136
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 2: guy for me in round two, and I would take

137
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: him in round one if you forced me to. If

138
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: Nico Collins just got taken, I would easily take Drake

139
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: London in the first round. Again talking about the red

140
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: zone targets and how that's a signal for wide receiver

141
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: one overall seasons that are coming well. Drake London since

142
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: he's enter the NFL, is number one in wide receiver

143
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: red zone target rate. Last year, he was top five

144
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: in red zone targets, and the thing is he's putting

145
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: up the yardage it's been there. So he's one of

146
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: three receivers over the last two seasons to have at

147
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: least two thousand receiving yards. But he only has eleven touchdowns,

148
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: so could he put up a Terry McLaurin like touchdown total?

149
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: Attached to Michael Pennix, who I think is a wide

150
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: receiver elevator. We saw him do it at the college

151
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: level where guys like Jalen pol Roma doonsday Jameick McMillan.

152
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: We're getting drafted inside the top three rounds of the

153
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: real NFL draft because Michael Pennox helped boost their numbers.

154
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 2: So again, the right tackle injury is concerning for the

155
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: Falcons losing Kaler McGarry, especially when he is the blind

156
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: side protector for Michael Penix. Like the Falcons really couldn't

157
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: afford to lose a right tackle more like other teams

158
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: because Michael Penix is a left handed quarterback. But besides that,

159
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: I mean, everything else is wheels off for Drake London

160
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: to be a top five wide receiver if not put

161
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: his hat in the ring for wide receiver one overall

162
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: if Jamar Chase is unable to repeat.

163
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: Nico Collins is by wide receiver four, Drake Leonard is

164
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: by wide receiver five, and you can come out of

165
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: drafts getting both of them. It's my favorite start that

166
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: you could possibly have for every I mean, I have

167
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: really nothing to add ericson every other reasons you laid

168
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: out Michael Penix, just the talent, everything we've seen. I

169
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: can't understand why he is currently the sixteenth overall player

170
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: in our expert.

171
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: Cause because it was adt is the same as it

172
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: was last year.

173
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: I don't get it, Like.

174
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: And I was fair much I remember doing.

175
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: It like again, Like there's He's the reason. I love

176
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas you this year right, like I want to

177
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: take swings on Christian McCaffrey. I love Derek Henry. I

178
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: don't understand why people aren't more excited about We just

179
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: saw this fit in Baltimore. He didn't slow down at all.

180
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: I love Ashton Genty as a rookie running back, but

181
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: I want to come away with Nico and London because

182
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: I like they are just that much better. Tom, you

183
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: said that you kind of knew that's the name I

184
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: was going to throw out there. Do you agree with

185
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: that as London is just like this ideal early second

186
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: round target.

187
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely and late. Unlike Ericson, I was in on

188
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: the Drake London height last year, so this year I

189
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 3: assumed that he'd be into round one for all the

190
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: reasons we saw down the back end last year. The

191
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: fact that Michael Pennix, with an offseason catered to him,

192
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: can take another step forward, and it's been surprising that

193
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: there's still this little bit of hesitation. I think it

194
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: links back to what Ericson said about the touchdowns. The

195
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: biggest surprise for me has been the fact that we're

196
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 3: heading into year four for Drake London and the Falcons

197
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: haven't locked him up with a contract already because that's

198
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: only going to get more expensive. And this time next year,

199
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 3: you know, you could be looking at like a market

200
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 3: second contract.

201
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: If I don't take London, if I don't have like

202
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: this early second round pick where I'm getting one of

203
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: those like London Gen Henry Thomas, Like whichever of those

204
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: guys is falling there. My next favorite pick a round

205
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: two is actually the guy that you're going with here, Tom.

206
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: Let's go again, like this is one which might seem

207
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 3: a bit of a layup, but Round two is so

208
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: stacked this year. There were several players that I really like.

209
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 3: There's several players that I think are going to outplay

210
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: their ADP significantly, but brock Bauers and I thought brock

211
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: Powers was going to be firmly part of round one

212
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 3: when drafts opened, like kind of like we saw with

213
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey, because the one hundred and fifty three targets

214
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: he got last year that's only been bettered once Zakertz

215
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: at one hundred and fifty six targets. I mean, only

216
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 3: Evan Ingram and zach Ertz have beaten one hundred and

217
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: twelve tight end receptions that brock Bauer's got in his

218
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: rookie year. And now we're talking about just huge upgrades

219
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: across the board. You've got Chip Kelly, who likes to

220
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 3: run fast paced offense the Raiders. Last year they ranked

221
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: fourth in past attempts, but in completion rate over expected,

222
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 3: Minshew ranked twenty seventh and O'Connell ranked thirty ninth out

223
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: of forty six quarterbacks for one hundred plus attempts. So

224
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: he was getting attempts. They were targeting him, but they

225
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: weren't that value much like elite neighbors. But Gino in

226
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 3: completions over expected ranked four last year, so the value

227
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 3: in the targets this year is going to be so

228
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: much better. Yards per attempt Gino ranked thirteenth last year,

229
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: and the two Raiders quarterbacks were back to back at

230
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: thirty third and thirty fourth. Even if Bowers doesn't hit

231
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: this kind of like one hundred and twelve hundred and

232
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 3: twenty receptions, there's room for him to grow with more

233
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: touchdowns because he only started scoring touchdowns later on in

234
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: the season. I just think the offense is going to

235
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: be more efficient, able to stay on the field much

236
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 3: more often, and we are looking at a true superstaff

237
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 3: for the next seven or eight years.

238
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: He is eighteenth in overall ECR. I have him fifteenth overall,

239
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: and I'm much closer to moving him higher than I

240
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: am moving him lower. I have a very clear top fifteen.

241
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm happy if I get any two guys in that group.

242
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: Bowers is in that group for me. I a generationally

243
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: good tight end prospect coming out of college who had

244
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: a record setting rookie season. Like we have never seen

245
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: any evidence that he is not going to be an

246
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: elite tight end. I don't know why we would talk

247
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: ourselves out of that continuing. And the reason I don't

248
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: like taking tight end early historically is because I'm worried

249
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: about them repeating and being correct. Like San Laporta maybe

250
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: more of a fluky rookie season, just relative to prospect pedigree,

251
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: he was really good. I don't want to diminish what

252
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: Laporta did. Bowers. I have full faith he is going

253
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: to repeat, if not maybe even add on to what

254
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: he did last year in year two with the quarterback upgrade.

255
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: So I like I have anybody who's like a tight

256
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: end second round is that? Yes, I would take him

257
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: and run if those other fourteen guys that I really

258
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: liked that top group off the board early second I

259
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: love him. Yeah.

260
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: And Laporte always looked that a little bit more fragile,

261
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 3: didn't it Because he scored nine touchdowns as a rookie.

262
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 3: Nobody else that year had scored more than six. So

263
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 3: it was easy right in with Bowers. I just don't

264
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: know what you can make for regressing him.

265
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eric said, we'll go a little quicker on some

266
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: of the later rounds, but I do want to get

267
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: your opinion on Bowers here as like that second round

268
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: tight end guy.

269
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: Well, I think that the reason we sometimes get concerned

270
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: about taking tight ends as highs because they're usually coming

271
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: off like the Laporta seasons where they score a lot

272
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: of touchdowns. I mean, go back to the Jimmy Graham

273
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 2: Gronkowski years where they're scoring fifteen, sixteen, seventeen touchdowns and

274
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: then they don't repeat because them scores many touchdowns. But

275
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: and again we haven't talked about him, but Trey McBride

276
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: and Brock Bauers, like they didn't score touchdowns last year? Well,

277
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: like what if they actually do score touchdowns? Well, also

278
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: seeing the same amount of volumes. So that's where you

279
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: get concerned about if I don't take one of these

280
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: top tier tight ends and they end up scoring eight, nine,

281
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 2: ten touchdowns with Brock Bowers and now getting a quarterback

282
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: upgrade with Gino Smith, like that's I think that's under

283
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: discussed too. I know Tom mentioned it here a little bit,

284
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 2: but Gino Smith is a massive upgrade over eight O'Connell

285
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: as the quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders. They're scoring

286
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: more points, playing in more high paced games. They play

287
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: in a dome Man. Brock Bowers, Yes, he plays tight end,

288
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: but he's really more of a slot receiver, Like just

289
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: look at his routes run last year. He's running from

290
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: the slot, so not a traditional in line tight end.

291
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: And although the preseason usually hasn't necessarily been great, they

292
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: also haven't been running a lot of twelve personnel, which

293
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: I think is going to be something that they're going

294
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 2: to be playing more of. And that means brock Bowers

295
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: is competing for targets with Michael Meyer, Jacoby Myers, who

296
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: was very good but I still think not an alpha player,

297
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: and Donde Thornton, who is a fourth round pick that

298
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 2: didn't command a target share at Tennessee. So I think

299
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: that brock Bowers is going to be fine. And if

300
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 2: he scores the touchdowns, well that's when you see him

301
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: being a Round one pick.

302
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: Next elite prospect who had an elite rookie season, who

303
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: upgraded his quarterback and his play caller and the offensive

304
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: situation around him, but without overly upgrading the pass catchers

305
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: around him, Like what could be more perfect than this?

306
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm all in on Bowers in that elite

307
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: group of players. All let's go to Round three, ericson.

308
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: This is the first one where I do start to

309
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: look a little bit of a different direction than you.

310
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: But I get it. Everybody is very much on the

311
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: hype with the guy you're about to say here.

312
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'll admit I'll be the first admit Round three.

313
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: This is the last round that I picked when I

314
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: was doing my picks, because I think that there are

315
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: so many different directions you can go in. So I

316
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: went with Omaron Hampton running back for the Los Angeles

317
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: Chargers because I just want to make a bet on

318
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 2: a first round rookie running back with elite draft pedigree

319
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: where he should see as many opportunities as Ashton Genty,

320
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: potentially with Naji Harris just a non factor in this offense. Like,

321
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what Najie Harris's role is going to be.

322
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: I don't know when he's coming back, And that's why

323
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: I was first hesitant about really buying into Omaron Hampton.

324
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: But the more time Naji has missed under a new

325
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: coaching staff, the more optimistic I am about Omaron Hampton

326
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: is going to be the guy here. So I just

327
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: think that when you zoom out first round rookie running

328
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: backs tend to be really productive from the get go

329
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: because they see immediate opportunities, and Array Hampton was an

330
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: immediate producer at the college level. He can catch passes

331
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: out of the back. He's a four down skill set.

332
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 2: That's what Arbad talked about. This guy can play on

333
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: every single down. And I'm just not convinced that Kamani

334
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 2: Vidal is going to force his way onto the field,

335
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: like after what they saw last year from JKD who

336
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: started out good but then sputtered out Gus Edwards, I

337
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: think they're going to see a Marion Hampton shot out

338
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: of a cannon and be yeah, I think we're going

339
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: to continue to use this guy as our bell cow.

340
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: So for me, it's a Maria and Hampton. But I'll

341
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: admit I thought about Tray mc bride here. I think

342
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: that the elite quarterbacks in this round are also just

343
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 2: the safest picks that you can make. You want to

344
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: go lamar Josh Allen and not try to take a

345
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: risk on a running back or receiver. I think that's

346
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: totally fine as well. So this was a round that

347
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: I struggled with, but based on my build here where

348
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: I went wide receiver, wide receiver. I wanted to get

349
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: a rookie running back, so I went with Hampton.

350
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: There also are a lot of running backs in this

351
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: round three and round four, and you have a guy

352
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: in around four that I really like too, that I

353
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: would maybe even consider. In round three, there's a lot

354
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: of running backs in what is historically the RB dead

355
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: zone that I am just buying into, Like, I don't

356
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: care about what history says about running backs in this range.

357
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: I like a lot of the guys here. Hampton, like,

358
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: I hope you're right because I love the player, like

359
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: he was so good at North Carolina. I have him

360
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: on like a campus, the can League team, so I've

361
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: been watching him closely for a while. A great player,

362
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: and the idea of the fit is so strong. But

363
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: just because Greg Rowan likes to run the ball, does

364
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: it mean he likes to have a belcow. Historically he

365
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: does not give too many carries to any one individual

366
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: running back, and I don't know if Hampton will be

367
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: the guy to break that streak.

368
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 4: Now.

369
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: The fact that Naji is dealing with the I stuff

370
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: helps O'maron Hampton in that regard, But the offensive line

371
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: takes a hit without Slater. I'm not sure what kind

372
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: of bellcout usage there's going to be. Greg Roman offensive

373
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: simply don't throw to the running back a lot. So

374
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: I don't know how many passes passes he's going to catch.

375
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: So there's just enough for me to say, like in

376
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: the third round, that's too aggressive for my blood. I

377
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: like the player, I like the idea of the fit,

378
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: and I would be really thrilled to be proven wrong.

379
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: But I'm just looking elsewhere in this round. Ericson, Now, Tom,

380
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: you do pick one of these elite quarterbacks here instead

381
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: of looking at running back or a receiver.

382
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it would have been very easy for

383
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 3: me to pick our guy Lama, but like I'm a.

384
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: Little insulted, we didn't. Honestly, given that you and I

385
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: are on the show together, we do have a.

386
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: Habit to stand away from Ravens when we're both fund

387
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: with child. But I went with Jane Daniel. And it's

388
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 3: more because I think that there's still some meat left

389
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: on the bone there. I think that he can still

390
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 3: ascend to another level. Like there's only three quarterbacks who,

391
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 3: across the course of their career average over fifty rushing

392
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: yards per game. It is Lamar Justin Fields and Jane Daniels. Now,

393
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 3: obviously Jane Daniels has done out on a much smaller

394
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 3: sample size than Lamar and even Justin Fields, but last

395
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 3: year he led the league in yards per attempt on

396
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 3: Froze outside the pocket, which was something I wasn't expecting

397
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 3: to see from him. It just showed a level of

398
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: calmness that I didn't necessarily expect to see, because look,

399
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 3: I got things wrong last year on Jane and Daniels,

400
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 3: not to the point where I wasn't drafting him, but

401
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 3: I was out there cutting up all these videos of

402
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: him getting absolutely sandwiched by linebackers and taking these monstrous,

403
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: big hits, and I just thought, this guy is not

404
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: going to survive. And then you see him in the

405
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 3: NFL under pressure and just looking so incredibly calm and

406
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 3: so good with it that I think that he really well,

407
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 3: he proved me wrong, and he proved a lot of

408
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 3: doubts wrong. And now you're throwing Deebo Samuel. Yes, there

409
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 3: was that moment where it was like, oh, look at

410
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 3: fat Debo who can't run very fast, and everybody had

411
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 3: a great time for a couple of weeks on the internet.

412
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 3: But now he seems good like we saw only a

413
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 3: snippet of him in pre season, but he looked like

414
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: he had some bursts to him and Jane Daniels. This

415
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 3: kind of goes back to the brock Bauers point about touchdowns.

416
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 3: He didn't get there last year on touchdowns. It was

417
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: only six Russian touchdowns, which isn't an unsustainable amount there,

418
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: Like the numbers of it Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts

419
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 3: get every year where you're talking double digits, it's easy

420
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 3: to make arguments a year on year that those numbers

421
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 3: might regress even though they don't. But Jane Daniels did

422
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 3: it with just rushing the ball at reasonable rates, six

423
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 3: Russian touchdowns and passing the ball really damn well. And

424
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: now he gets Deebo Samuel's upgrade. I would really like

425
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 3: to see Terry mcclaurin out there soon, but it's just

426
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 3: so hard to ignore that only Lamar Jackson had more

427
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: Top twelve weekly finished than Jane daniels twelve last year.

428
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: I So, for me, if I'm taking it to one

429
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: quarterback and I agree that Daniels belongs in t your one,

430
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to make the point that people should

431
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: be fading him in general, I would just rather reach

432
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: a little earlier and get the guys who have done

433
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: it multiple years in Alan and Lamar. Or I would

434
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: rather wait a half round or a round and take

435
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts because they didn't get rid of the toush

436
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: push right, like He's still going to be his usual self,

437
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: like we've only seen it once for Daniels, and the

438
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: other guys are so strong around him in this tier,

439
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: Like I would take him well ahead of like Joe Burrow,

440
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: for example, but of the elite four, he is the

441
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: one I am targeting least, because I would rather wait

442
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: and get Hurts, or I'd rather reach and say like

443
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: Alan and Lamar are just a different kind of animal

444
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to fantasy production and just get one

445
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: of them. Ericson, I'm curious when you approach an elite

446
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: quarterback build, is Daniels somebody that you're getting.

447
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 2: I think that I kind of agree with what you said,

448
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 2: where kind of just pay a little bit more to

449
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: get Lamar, Josh Allen, or wait to get Hurts a

450
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: little bit because he seems to always kind of fall

451
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: into that round four territory and it's just about this

452
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: Tarr McLaurin, right, Like, the guy's still not there and

453
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: he was their number one wide receiver. So how I mean, look,

454
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 2: we've been proven wrong, but for this guys have lost

455
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: their number one receivers. Patch Mahomes lost Terry kill and

456
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: three for five thousand yards next year. Josh Allen lost

457
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 2: all of his receivers last year, didn't matter he won

458
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 2: the MVP. So maybe we're reading too much into the

459
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: McLarin thing, But I would feel much better about taking

460
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,239
Speaker 2: my elite quarterback in round three if his number one

461
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 2: wide receiver was actually on the field and not getting

462
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: ramped up for Week one. So that's my only hesitance

463
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 2: on Jane Daniels.

464
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 3: They'll say out, they'll figure it out. They've got to

465
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: get it done before the season. It's just not they

466
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 3: can't treat Terry mccluarin out.

467
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: By the way, I want to highlight something, so Marion Hampton,

468
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: if you look at the rankings that I mentioned at

469
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: the top of the show, is more of like a

470
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: mid fourth round pick. The reason Ericson hasn't been round

471
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: three is because he's basing his off of real Time ADP,

472
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: which is this really awesome feature that Fantasy Pros added

473
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: literally earlier this week. It is brand new. ADP is

474
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: like a bit of a lagging indicator in terms of

475
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of noise built in from earlier

476
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: drafts on the season. So guys like Amaron Hampton who

477
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: have a lot of helium, guys like Bill Krosky Merritt

478
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: who might come up later, those guys they're ADP that

479
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: you might look at on a pre existing sheet is

480
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: not going to be reflective of where they're actually going

481
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: in drafts. Amaron Hampton in real time, ADP is RB

482
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: thirteen right smack in the middle of the third round.

483
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: So I wanted to highlight that difference between the rankings

484
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: and where these guys are actually going in drafts. I

485
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: also want to highlight DraftKings get in the game. Best

00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: point it's been going on for you. Guys have drafted

521
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: a lot of teams together.

522
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 3: A lot of teams.

523
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to round four here, Ericson, I know

524
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: I didn't agree with you in round three. We're back

525
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: to our round one and two, love, because this is

526
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: my favorite pick in round four. You could possibly make.

527
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: Well over round three, saying that it was the toughest

528
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 2: round for me to pick a player. So Homary Hmpton

529
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 2: is probably not my most confident pick, but here I

530
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 2: feel much more confident, and it's Kenneth Walker as my

531
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: pick in round four. I just think the upside case

532
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 2: for him in this Clint Kuback offense is a top

533
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: five fantasy running back we saw last year Alvin Kamara

534
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 2: was number one and expected Fantasy points per game in

535
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 2: this Clint Kubiak offensive scheme. And I know that Zach

536
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 2: Scharbonay has looked pretty good. I still think that he

537
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: is going to be just the backup to Ken Walker.

538
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 2: I think that he has will have opportunities at Walker

539
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 2: missus time to smash as that backup in full Dalvin

540
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 2: Cook Alexander Madison fashion. But I think that's what this is.

541
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 2: And Kubiak was with Minnesota during that Dalvin Cook Alexander

542
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 2: Madison during those heydays, and they had one guy that

543
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: was the bell cow and then when he missed time,

544
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,239
Speaker 2: they had someone else be the bellcow. So that's what

545
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be like with ken Walker.

546
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 2: And he's been out, he's following the script of what

547
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 2: McDonald has talked about in terms of their resting him,

548
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: making sure that he's maintenance and he's ready to go

549
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: for week one for the season, because once he's writing

550
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 2: and out there playing, I think that he's going to

551
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: be their bell cow. He showed last year the pass

552
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: catching chops that we were waiting to see if he

553
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: still had bet on guys that are explosive, that catch

554
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: passes and favorable offensive schemes, and that is ken Walker

555
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 2: to a t. So he showed no signs last year

556
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: besides the injury, and the guy's a mistackle, broken tackle machine.

557
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: That's all he does. So if he stays healthy, he's

558
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: going to be a top off fantasy running back. I'm

559
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: very convinced of that. And we're making bets about Christian McCaffrey.

560
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 2: What if he stays healthy, demon a Chan what if

561
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 2: he stays healthy? Well, ken Walker's available round four, and

562
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: I think he has a ton of upsides. So that's

563
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: why I'm circling as my running back one of the

564
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 2: guys i'm drafting.

565
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tom, I'm curious what you think about Walker because like,

566
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: if you guaranteed me health, i'd say, like Eric, and

567
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, this dude's top six running back in

568
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: fantasy for sure, but that he's not going in the

569
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 1: top six. That the health risk, which to me is

570
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: the only risk. I am not overly concerned about Sharbonney.

571
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: The health is the only risk, and that is baked it.

572
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 1: He's RB fifteen in real time ADP, and he's closer

573
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: to moving down. He's very close to RB sixteen and seventeen.

574
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: There's a gap between RB fourteen and RB fifteen, Like

575
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: he is not in that range. I don't agree with that, Like,

576
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm very happy to take him there. If he gets

577
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: to the fourth round, I am taking him one hundred

578
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: percent of the time because the upside is a guy

579
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: that produces like a first round pick.

580
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the kind of the knock on him

581
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 3: has always been that we haven't really seen as much

582
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 3: of a receiving role. But I don't think it's because

583
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: he can't do it. I just think it's like Zach

584
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 3: Chavney is probably a little bit best, so why not

585
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 3: split that work load? And as Ericson kind of touched

586
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 3: on briefly, like all off season, everything the Seahawks have

587
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: done have made as convinced that this is going to

588
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 3: be a round and pound offense. They've got rid of

589
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 3: DK Metcalf, moved on from Tyler Lockett, they moved on

590
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 3: from Gino and taking a cheaper option in Satwell sorry,

591
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 3: a younger option in Sam Donald, but I would say

592
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 3: not necessarily as good as passer of the ball. And

593
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 3: it all just feels like they're doing this as a

594
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 3: big reaction to Ryan Grubb, who was the offensive coordinator.

595
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 3: Last year, there seemed to be a few occasions where

596
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 3: Mike McDonald seemed annoyed that they hadn't run the ball

597
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 3: more in games, particularly against the Giants, was one that

598
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 3: stands out that reports suggested he was particularly annoyed about.

599
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 3: So I'm very much in on Kenneth Walker. I like

600
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 3: both the Seahawks Seahawks running backs at costs, I take

601
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 3: eve of him.

602
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: I promised that I want to disagree with ericson Moore.

603
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking ahead at some of his picks. Sound like that.

604
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 1: He really did lay out like my perfect draft, which

605
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: is kind of discouraging and I should stay scary to me, Tom,

606
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: who's your picking round for?

607
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 3: It's Stevane Adams wide receiver eighteen overall, and I would

608
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 3: have taken him in in round three. To be honest,

609
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 3: I feel really good about him. I just think that

610
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 3: he is the perfect kind of piece to not only

611
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: unlocked Pook and a CUA, unlock Matthew Stafford again, but

612
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 3: unlock this Rams offense. Last year, it felt like they

613
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 3: had to rely on the ground game, perhaps a little

614
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 3: bit more than they like. And what davantay Adams brings

615
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 3: is the fact that he can get open, whereas Cooper

616
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 3: Cup just couldn't get open. Last year, DeVante Adams ranked

617
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 3: fifty eight for ESPN's Open score metric, compared to Cupp,

618
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: who ranked one hundred and eighth out of one hundred

619
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 3: and sixteen qualifying wide receivers last year. Adams like, it

620
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 3: was obviously a slow start to the season, but once

621
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: he got out of Vegas, he averaged two point two

622
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 3: yards per out run seventy six point six yards per game,

623
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: even with like the ghost of Aaron Rodgers. And I

624
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 3: think the Rams need somebody like Davontae Adams, who has

625
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 3: been a red zone threat for years. Because Pook and

626
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 3: a Coua, on two hundred and sixty six targets across

627
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 3: the last two years, has nine receiving touchdowns, which is

628
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 3: just that's inefficient. And I'm not putting all of the

629
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 3: blame on Pook and a Coua, but you need somebody

630
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 3: who can be a reliable its own weapon, and I

631
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: think Devanta Adams can be that. And I wouldn't be

632
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 3: surprised at all if he hit double digit touchdowns this year.

633
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: You're not worried about Stafford's back, I guess. I mean,

634
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: if you're saying that you would even take DeVante as

635
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: highest Round three.

636
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the fact that he's out there now.

637
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 3: I mean, we've got a good couple of weeks. Matthew

638
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 3: Stafford is one of those guys who's been banged up

639
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 3: for his whole career, hasn't he Like it just felt

640
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 3: like the whole time he was in Detroit, he was

641
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 3: constantly dealing with stuff. It's not the first time that

642
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 3: we've done this kind of thing with Matthew Stafford. And

643
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 3: when the game start being played, unless it's really drastic,

644
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 3: then I'm okay taking that risk, and I think that

645
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 3: it's a significant upside swing.

646
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: He has an argument as like the toughest player in football.

647
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: He plays through a lot for sure. Round five ericson

648
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: make me happy again.

649
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: That's Roald McMillan, wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers. I

650
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: just think that he's being drafted closer to his floor

651
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 2: than his ceiling, which I mean he could be a

652
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: fantasy wide receiver one this year. That would not surprise

653
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 2: me at all, just based on what we've seen from

654
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: Dave Canals' offense over the last two seasons, the wide

655
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: receiver one in his offense just absolutely eats. We've seen

656
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: it with Adam Feln be really productive, even with Bryce

657
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: Young struggling at times over the last two seasons. So

658
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 2: I bust love this opportunity for Tetro McMillan that went

659
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: out drafted him inside the top ten, and you just

660
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: look at the average production of a wide receiver drafted

661
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: in the top ten of the last four seasons. Eighty

662
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: catches over a thousand yards, just shy of six and

663
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: a half touchdowns. That's fantasy wide receiver to production. So

664
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: that's where you're getting Tetro McMillan. But then you get

665
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: all this potential upside based on the talent the fit.

666
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 2: If Bryce Young takes a step forward in year three

667
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: as a quarterback and the Carolina Panthers again a defense

668
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: is still bad, Like, yes, it can't be worse than

669
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: it was last year, But I don't think the Panthers

670
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 2: are in a situation well, oh yeah, we'll just run

671
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: the ball in the second half, will be great. I

672
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: just think that it's all kind of set up for

673
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 2: Tetro McMillan, who I just think has been undervalued and underspoken,

674
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: under talked about in this draft class because he's not

675
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter, because he wasn't taking second Hall, because he

676
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 2: doesn't play the defense. But hey, it's not gonna matter

677
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: because against the Jaguar, he's gonna get the face Travishner

678
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 2: who's going to be playing defense, and he's going to

679
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 2: catch touchdown. It's gonna be a lot of fun.

680
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: I anybody who's been listening to show this summer has

681
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: heard my spiel about Tetero McMillan a lot, So apologies

682
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: if you've heard this before, but this time a year,

683
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: we get a lot of listeners that weren't listening earlier

684
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: in the summer, So I'm going to do it again.

685
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: I think he's not as good a player as Milik Neighbors,

686
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: but I think the best comp is Melik Neighbors in

687
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: terms of where he was going last year and where

688
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: he will be going a year from now. This is

689
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: the cheapest that Tedro McMillan will be available in fantasy

690
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: drafts in his entire career, at least for the next

691
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: you know, eight to ten years. Like I feel really

692
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: strongly that you know, again, top ten receivers tend to

693
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: be really good, especially in the current era. He is

694
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: the clear number one in this offense. He's in a offense,

695
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, designed by a play caller who can take

696
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: advantage of a clear number one. And the other thing

697
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: is Bryce Young doesn't need to take a step forward

698
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: compared to what he was in the second half of

699
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: last year. He just needs to be what he was

700
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: in the second half of last year, and that is

701
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: more than good enough to support an elite talent, which

702
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: I think TEDROA. McMillan is. I think a year from now,

703
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: this guy like an early second round pick at worse,

704
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: Like I genuinely believe that. I just think he's really,

705
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: really good. And the offense, the situation is so good

706
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: and the defense is bad, like they're going to need

707
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: to throw a lot. So he is one of my

708
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: favorite picks you could possibly make. I don't understand why

709
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: he's available in round five. I don't understand why his

710
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: real time ADP is wide receiver twenty six, like, not

711
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: even inside the top twenty four. For me, he's inside

712
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: the top twenty, probably inside the top eighteen. Honestly, Like

713
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: I want to be aggressive, I want to be over

714
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: my skis on Tetro McMillan, because I think he will

715
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: work out for it. He is somebody that I want

716
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: to come away with every single draft, especially if his

717
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: his capital state, you know, his you know cost days

718
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: where it is right now? And now, Tom, I know

719
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: I keep talking about Ericson's picks. I do really like

720
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: your pick here as well.

721
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I've got to point now Ericson beat

722
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 3: me to the show sheet, and there's definitely a lot

723
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 3: of crossover and players out to chose, including tet Or.

724
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 3: But yeah, Xavier Worvy. I just think that it's all

725
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 3: setting up to be another good season for Xavier Worvy.

726
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 3: Now Rashie Weis is going to serve a suspension at

727
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: some point that is TBC, but it's hard to imagine

728
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 3: it's going to be less than what five games at

729
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 3: a bare minimum, and by that point you're talking. It's

730
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 3: been a good run of games where Xavier Worthy has

731
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: been able to integrate himself into the offense. We know

732
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 3: down the stretch last year, but he really came along.

733
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 3: He average fifteen point six PPR points from Week eleven,

734
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 3: which was good for wide receiver nineteen across that time.

735
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 3: The one area where you can put sort of like

736
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 3: pull holes in the process. Last year was that he

737
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 3: only had three receptions on passes of twenty plus yards.

738
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 3: Last year, they really try to get that going. He

739
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 3: was targeted on seventeen of them and ranked sixty first

740
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: among wide receivers with ten deep targeting catchable target rates,

741
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 3: so Mahomes wasn't able to get him the ball deep downfield.

742
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 3: Mahomes had talked extensively about being better in the deep

743
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 3: game this year. So with a couple of those two

744
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 3: three turn into touchdowns, it's very easy to see Xavier

745
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: Worthy paying off like that. It's easy to see him

746
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: having a really good run of games where Rashi Rice

747
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 3: is out and he becomes a volume hug. And I

748
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 3: think at this we still see what we get in

749
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 3: a discount based on the fact that we don't know

750
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: how many games Rushie Rice is suspended for. So I'd

751
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 3: be very comfortable taking him here, and I'd be comfortable

752
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 3: pushing him even a couple of picks higher among wide receivers.

753
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: Eric said, I want to go to around six. And

754
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: this is maybe the name that I've heard you say

755
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: on the show that since we have started doing shows together,

756
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: most often I think.

757
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 2: It's Jalen Wattle round six, Jamon Wattle. Every single time

758
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: Jonah Smith is gone, Terry Kill may not be on

759
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 2: this roster by the time Week four, Week five rolls

760
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: around and Devon ae Chan has already banged up. Like

761
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: this is all they got left is Jalen Waddle as

762
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 2: the focal point of this offense. They have no choice

763
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 2: but to feature Jalen Waddle unlike last year where they

764
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: just totally forgot about him. So Waddle to me, yes,

765
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: I know that last year and even the year before

766
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: that just not exactly what we wanted to get from him.

767
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 2: But I just can't forget the first two years that

768
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 2: he did in the NFL, where he was I believe

769
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: top ten and then top thirteen three one thousand yard

770
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: seasons started his career. He's shown that he can win

771
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: in multiple ways, whether it be a ton of volume

772
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 2: as a rookie or high indeficiency years two and three.

773
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: So I'm just not willing to write off Jalen Wattle

774
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 2: as this guy's not a talented player. He's twenty six

775
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 2: years old. I think that if we're expecting Tyreek Hill,

776
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: which I do, to take a step back or if

777
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 2: the Dolphins decided to move on from him, because clearly

778
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 2: the chemistry with Tua is not there. There's no chemistry

779
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 2: issues with Jalen Wattle in Tua, Like these guys have

780
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 2: been playing together since Alabama. So that's what I'm banking on.

781
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 2: If this defense is horrible, they have a major question

782
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 2: marks in their secondary they're playing in shootouts. I think

783
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 2: Wada is gonna be the main benefactor and I think

784
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 2: that his costs and values is going to increase as

785
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 2: the season goes on. So Jalen Watta for me, uh

786
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 2: this maybe this is my last year backing Jalalen Watta.

787
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: I say, you know you need you're going to go.

788
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 2: Down with the ship because I've done this before where

789
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 2: I've hopped off the bandwagon too earlier. I was too

790
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 2: early on a player. Courtland Sun comes to mind after

791
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: he's had a couple of really great seasons after I

792
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 2: went too aggressive on him earlier in my fantasy analyst career.

793
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to learn from that, and yeah, I'm

794
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 2: not backing off Jalen Wall yet.

795
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: Wattle is a sneaky Kyle Pitts All Star, Like how

796
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: many times do you go back to this well and

797
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: keep getting you know, burned by it. Well. See, I

798
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: do like the pick, Like round six, I think it's

799
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: a very good, good pick to me, this is actually

800
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: probably the single round where I liked outside of the

801
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: early rounds where you like everybody, I think this is

802
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: the round where your guys' picks like. I don't know

803
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 1: that I could pick between them. I really like both

804
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: of them. I think they're both very very strong and

805
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: pretty like dead even in my eyes in terms of

806
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: where they should be ranked. So, Tom, you have Calvin

807
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: Ridley here, and why do you like him?

808
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: Yeah?

809
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 3: I mean, much like Ericson, Kevin Ridley's been my go

810
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 3: all off season. I think he's just been undervalued compared

811
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 3: away should be. There's only seven teams who have the

812
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 3: wide receiver one drafted later than Calvin Ridley right now,

813
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 3: and I don't think that reflects how good of a

814
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 3: player Calvin Ridley is. Last year, Will Levis absolutely killed

815
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 3: this fantasy value among wide receivers fifty plus targets. Last year,

816
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 3: Kelvin Ridley ranked seventy eighth in catchable target rate. That

817
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 3: was out of eighty five players. Like the ball was

818
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 3: just it was coming his way, but it wasn't particularly useful.

819
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 3: But when he did of the ball, he ranked fifteenth

820
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 3: for mistackles forced, eighth and yards per reception. Camp reports

821
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 3: have been positive about cam Ward or Summer. It looks

822
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: like the offensive line is going to be better and Ridley.

823
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 3: He's been over a thousand yards in each of his

824
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 3: last three healthy seasons, including last year with will Levis.

825
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 3: I just can't imagine. But he's not more productive this

826
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 3: year when his main source of competition is Elchaiamna, Tyler

827
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 3: Lockett and Chegozie Macconquo.

828
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, like he's still he's why did she for thirty

829
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: in real time ADP? By the bay Waddle is why

830
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: does she were twenty nine in real time ADP? So

831
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: they're back to back of the position. But I'm just

832
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: like he should be in the twenties. Like I'd rather

833
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: have him than Zay Flowers. I'd rather have him than

834
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: James and Williams. I might rather have him than Courtland Sutton.

835
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: I'd rather have him the DK metcalf I just like

836
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't it should not be in the thirties. His

837
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: his ADP of almost.

838
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: People are afraid of the Week one match up and

839
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: then they know the sharp plays, don't draft him.

840
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: Trade for him after week one. Yeah, sure he will

841
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: be a value this season, assuming health. Like I'm extremely

842
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 1: confident on that weekly draft. Fantasy football is here. Welcome

861
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: another good pick by you. Ricky Piersaal talk us through it.

862
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, San Francisco, forty nine Ers. I think he's going

863
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 2: to be the number one wide receiver on this team,

864
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 2: at least out of the gates. But showed out at

865
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 2: the end of last year week seventeen and eighteen, and

866
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 2: this forty nine Ers team just needs wide receiver bodies

867
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 2: out there. Everybody is banged up. Branda Yuk is not

868
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 2: going to return till at least week six when o

869
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 2: Juwan Jennings is dealing with a calf and contract injury dispute.

870
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel is no longer on the roster now on

871
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 2: the Commanders, So Ricky Piersaal again, we see a lot

872
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 2: of receivers take a step going from year one to

873
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 2: year two. And I can't get it out of my mind.

874
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 2: Where in twenty twenty three, the talk of forty nine

875
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 2: Ers training camp was brand Nayuk. Oh my god, Brandon Yuke,

876
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 2: he's gonna break out, He's gonna smash. That's exactly what

877
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 2: he did. He was an absolute monster. And this year

878
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 2: the talk of training camp out for the forty nine

879
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 2: ers has been Ricky Piersaw. So the fact that he's

880
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: actually had a full off season where he's not recovering

881
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 2: from a gunshot wound. He's not a rookie anymore. He's

882
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 2: more familiar with Rock Purty actually getting reps with his quarterback.

883
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 2: I think that matters so much. And why I like

884
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 2: buying into Pearsaw here in round seven is I don't

885
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 2: have any concerns about his quarterback. I know Brock Purty

886
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 2: can support offensive receivers in this Kyle Shanahan's scheme. I

887
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 2: have no issues with that. So getting someone that's attached

888
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: to Rock Purty in round seven is a former first

889
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 2: round pick from just one season ago. I think Rickey

890
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 2: Piersaw is just one of the easiest clicks that you

891
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 2: can make ericson.

892
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: We did the segment on Fantasy Fest, which if anybody

893
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,760
Speaker 1: miss they should go and check out. It's still available

894
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: on YouTube. You can go rewatch, you know, pick and

895
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: choose whichever segments you want out of this. Several hours

896
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: we were streaming, we did a segment with Andy Barns

897
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: and he picked Pearsaw as his favorite wide receiver breakout.

898
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: I think he said he had him correct me if

899
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm misremembering inside his top twenty four receivers. Isn't that

900
00:39:58,960 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 1: what he said?

901
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had very aggressive. Yeah, I think that he

902
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 2: was in the conversation of do I want Dj Moore

903
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 2: and I want Ricky Arsa. So that's where he was

904
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 2: at with Pearsall just But I mean, if he is

905
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 2: the forty Niners and wide receiver one goes out leak

906
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 2: one sees ten targets, he's gonna be ranked. I mean,

907
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 2: it's the top twenty.

908
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: It's like Calvin Ridley where it's like the ADP is

909
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: just rot like he's just flat out wrong. He's wide

910
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: receiver thirty five in real time ADP going in the eighties,

911
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: and it's jumped up a lot. He's moved up fourteen

912
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 1: spots in the overall ADP inside the last week. But

913
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: that's not high enough.

914
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 3: Tom No, It's not like last year was so abbreviated

915
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 3: for him because of the gunshot and all of that

916
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 3: went into it, and obviously the Nineers just weren't particularly

917
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 3: great last year. But in the nine games he played,

918
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 3: he had twenty eight receptions for three hundred and seventy

919
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 3: six yards. If he'd held that pace across the entire season,

920
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 3: he'd have pushed Marvin Harrison for the fourth most receiving

921
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 3: yards among rookies. He was on track for a good season.

922
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 3: It just, you know, didn't work out. And I think that, yes,

923
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 3: you can point holes slightly and say maybe he didn't

924
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 3: earn targets at as higher level as we might have

925
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 3: liked to cross some of the games early on. But look,

926
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna pull holes in anything to do with

927
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 3: Vicky Pearsall. He was a former round one pick for

928
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 3: the Niners and they've been pretty good at drafting wide receivers.

929
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: Who's your guy in this round? And would you have

930
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: considered Piersol here if he wasn't already taken by Ericson?

931
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's probably not. It's not an easy

932
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 3: one for me, But I like both Piersol and Juan Jennings,

933
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 3: So if I can leave drafts with either of those,

934
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 3: I tend to be happy. But I don't have a

935
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 3: massive lean to one or the other. My guy is

936
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 3: Jalen Warren. I'll be twenty nine in real time ADP

937
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 3: and somebody that spent a lot of time talking about

938
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 3: last year, and I've been surprised at how many people

939
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 3: were on board of Jalen Warren expressed last year and

940
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 3: have completely jumped off and it's slowly starting to take

941
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 3: hold again now. But look, Najie Harris average three hundred

942
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 3: and nineteen carries per year in his time in Pittsburgh.

943
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 3: Last year he had two hundred and fifty. Now, Jalen

944
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 3: Warren's never had more than one hundred and fifty, but

945
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 3: he said this offseason that he focused on training differently

946
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 3: to be ready for more carries. We know that Caleb

947
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 3: Johnson is doing awful in past protection, so it seems

948
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 3: like there's a chance for Jalen Warren to really not

949
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 3: necessarily become a bell cow or VRB one consistently for

950
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 3: the entire season. But if he's able to average more

951
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 3: touches per game, then we know that he can be explosive.

952
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 3: We know he can be fantasy relevant. He's averaged fifty

953
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 3: one receptions per year in his three years in the NFL.

954
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 3: Now breshold just at fifty seven with Aaron Rodgers last year.

955
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 3: Aaron Jones in Rogers last healthy season in Green Bay

956
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 3: had fifty nine, So I think he's going to be

957
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 3: bolstered by receptions, and I just think when you're talking

958
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 3: about a player this late in the draft, it's very

959
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 3: easy to buy into what Jalen Warren brings.

960
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: Ericson what do you think about Warren in round seven?

961
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 2: I think it's fair value there. I think that he's

962
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 2: a bet on early season production while Caleb Johnson gets

963
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 2: up to speed. But I'm just I'm in love with

964
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 2: the Caleb Johnson fit and Arthur Smiths offense, so I'm

965
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 2: not as concerned about pass protection in the long term

966
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 2: because they didn't draft him to go out there on

967
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 2: pass pro and catch pass out of the backfield. They

968
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 2: drafted him so he could be the hammer in the

969
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 2: second half to win games ten to seven or seventeen

970
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 2: to ten in the AFC North Like that's why they

971
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 2: drafted Caleb Johnson. So I agree that Jalen Warren probably

972
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 2: goes too late based on all value Keen offer, especially

973
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 2: in full PPR where he's going to catch passes from

974
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,919
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. And when I draft Cale Johnson, I'm looking

975
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 2: at Jalen Warren too, because I can acknowledge I may

976
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 2: not be able to start Cale Johnson out of the gates,

977
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 2: and I might have to rely on Warren until Caleb

978
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 2: Johnson gets caught up to speed. But I still think

979
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 2: that the upside play for the rest of the season

980
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 2: is Caleb Johnson. But I do see Warren as a

981
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 2: value where he goes.

982
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: It's interesting to me that there are only two spots

983
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: apart in real time ADP at the position, but they're

984
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: fourteen spotches fourteen and a half spots apart in terms

985
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 1: of the overall real time ADP. So even though they're

986
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: very close amongst the RB rankings, people are taking Caleb Johnson,

987
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, around ish around plus earlier than Jalen Warren,

988
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: despite you know, the level of uncertain there. Let's go

989
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: to round eight. Eric. This is another round where I

990
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: love both your picks. By the way, I want more

991
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: disagreement here, but you guys made good picks and it's

992
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: it's bothering me.

993
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 2: Sorry, did you want to come on here and make

994
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 2: These are all my best picks that are actually wanted.

995
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: I wanted your hottest takes that were terrible.

996
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 2: I just like spoiler for next week. Next week is

997
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 2: gonna be the worst picks of every round.

998
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, next week it's the first take episode where

999
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: we just make stupid arguments.

1000
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 3: We talked about highest exposed pas.

1001
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that'll that'll be fun. What do we regret

1002
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 2: before the season even started? You're my exposures. So for

1003
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: for me, Round and I think too, just to be transparent,

1004
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 2: I think with Round, I think this is where you

1005
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,959
Speaker 2: can start to reach a little bit and just get

1006
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: your guys. It's kind of this is where the beginning

1007
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 2: of my guys list kind of starts. And that's going

1008
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 2: to be With Jordan Mason running back for the Minnesota Vikings,

1009
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 2: I think that I've been on the Mason train. I

1010
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 2: think ever since he landed in Minnesota, I just always assume, like, yeah,

1011
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 2: he's going to have a big role in this offense.

1012
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 2: He's going to be the early down grinder. He's going

1013
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 2: to see red zone opportunities. And I think the Vikings

1014
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 2: showed what they did in the offseason by improving the

1015
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 2: interior offensive line. They want to play a little bit

1016
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 2: more bully ball with a younger, more inexperienced quarterback. Let

1017
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy get accustomed to the offense. Let him come

1018
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 2: back from the injury a little bit slowly. Don't have

1019
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 2: him don't put everything on his shoulders right away and

1020
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 2: have to drop back to throw forty five times per game.

1021
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 2: You have two talented running backs there. I don't think

1022
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: that Aaron Jones is dust by any means, but in

1023
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 2: terms of offering a lot of value from a touchdown perspective,

1024
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 2: especially in half PPR, George Mason's going to have some

1025
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 2: big weeks behind this Vikings offensive line. So for me,

1026
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 2: he's an auto pick. Every time I'm drafting, I'm always

1027
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:40,919
Speaker 2: looking for late round running backs, and Jeordan Mason's usually

1028
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,439
Speaker 2: the first guy that I'm looking for.

1029
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: I really like I said, I like this one a lot.

1030
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: He feels like like he's obviously way more than a

1031
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 1: handcuff you think of as like a backup like Bears

1032
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: a world where he's just flat out more productive than

1033
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. And in a world where Aaron Jones gets

1034
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: hurt or anything, he becomes like a weekly top ten

1035
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 1: running back. So I really really like this pick, strongly

1036
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: favor of it. Nothing to add here, Tommy. You can

1037
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: add to it if you want, or you can go

1038
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: to your player.

1039
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean for Smiths tackles at the sixth highest

1040
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 3: rate among running backs last year, and he was also

1041
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 3: really good on zone concept runs, some of which the

1042
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:14,919
Speaker 3: Vikings do a lot of. So it's an easy pick

1043
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 3: for me. And look, another easy pick for me in

1044
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 3: this range was a mecareg Booker, somebody I'd be willing

1045
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 3: to pull ahead of this I half expected. I refreshed

1046
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 3: the real time ADP just before we came on, and

1047
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 3: you'd only moved from wide receiver thirty seven to wide

1048
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 3: receiver thirty six. I will be pulling a Macro reg

1049
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 3: Booker much higher than that, So if you're in my

1050
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 3: home league, please do not listen to this. But like,

1051
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 3: it's just a reminder of not sweat landing spot A

1052
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 3: year after year we get to the draft and people like, oh,

1053
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 3: I loved that player, but now I can't draft him

1054
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 3: because I don't feel good about this. But now we're

1055
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 3: sure of a good clean run for a Macro reg

1056
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 3: Booker at a start this season, Jaylen McMillan, sadly heading

1057
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 3: to I r DU at sprain neck could be out

1058
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 3: as long as like week ten or so. Some reporters

1059
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 3: saying Chris Godwin that injury is nasty that he had

1060
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 3: last year dislocated and fractured ankle, but not putting a

1061
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 3: on ir at start this season, but he's unlikely a

1062
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 3: practice even until Week two. And now we're talking about

1063
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 3: an incredibly talented wide receiver who has the potential to

1064
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 3: go in and be the slot receiver from day one,

1065
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 3: playing on a team which we know campastable well with

1066
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield, Like this one just seems really easy, and

1067
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 3: I would definitely be willing to put in, Like I

1068
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 3: moved him up to my wide receiver thirty yesterday, so

1069
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 3: I'd take him six spots ahead of this.

1070
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Guka is really interesting, eric Son. I'm

1071
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 1: curious where you have him ranked because I feel like,

1072
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: like being in the mid thirties, there are so many

1073
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,319
Speaker 1: just talented receivers in football that it's hard for me

1074
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: to say, like these are the names that he should

1075
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: be moving ahead of specifically, But I just feel like

1076
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,399
Speaker 1: he should be moving up like ten spots on like, like

1077
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: it would not shock me in the slightest given what's

1078
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: going on in that receiver room. If he's a top

1079
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: twenty four receiver this year, I'm not going to rank

1080
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,439
Speaker 1: him that way because I don't know who I would

1081
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: move down, because again, there's a lot of good options,

1082
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: but I just really think that is in his range

1083
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: of outcomes. And it's a great point by Tom about

1084
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: not sweating, you know, the landing spots and everything. This

1085
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: is a player we all really liked. He got middle

1086
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,440
Speaker 1: to first round draft capital. Like even setting aside landing spot,

1087
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: that's a great news for somebody like him. He's somebody

1088
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: that everybody's really confident is just a capable going to

1089
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: be a very good NFL receiver for a long time.

1090
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: He gets a gunslinger and Baker like, this is an

1091
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 1: offense that is stow on the ball. I mean, it's

1092
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: a new play car. So we'll see. But there's just

1093
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,479
Speaker 1: a lot to really like here. And what I'm really

1094
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: curious about Erickson. The real time ADP is where it

1095
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 1: is right now. I'm curious what it's going to look

1096
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: like after this weekend because this is their second to

1097
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: last weekend of drafts. We have even more news you

1098
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: know about Jalen McMillan and Chris Godwin. So it started

1099
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: to move a bit already. It jumps up about nine

1100
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: spots in the last week. I think this weekend this

1101
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: might jump up even more. Maybe not amongst the receiver

1102
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,439
Speaker 1: ranking but the overall ranking, I think it will.

1103
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna move up both categories. I think

1104
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,240
Speaker 2: that he's, you know, someone that someone was asking me about,

1105
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 2: and I think that was a decision me and Tom

1106
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 2: had to make, was Puresol versus ag Buka on the

1107
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 2: DraftKings Best Ball Draft we did a couple of days ago,

1108
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 2: and now this was before we got more information about

1109
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 2: McMillan and Chris Godwin and they're not going to be

1110
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 2: there definitely for the first month. We know McMillan's gonna

1111
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 2: miss at least half of the season, so at the

1112
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 2: time it was already kind of close. But now is

1113
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 2: like Muka now going ahead of Pearsall in round seven.

1114
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 2: I mean, if you want, if I saw him go

1115
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 2: ahead of jay Len Watto, am I like surprised by that?

1116
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I mean, right now they're both

1117
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 2: number two wide receivers for Week one on their respective teams.

1118
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,720
Speaker 2: I think that the Pearsol comparison is the best because

1119
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 2: they're both going to have to fend off guys coming

1120
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 2: back from injuries at a later point down the year.

1121
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: So where at Buka was at first to bet on Okay,

1122
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 2: he's going to be more productive in the second half

1123
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,359
Speaker 2: of the season. Evan's God, when these guys are older,

1124
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 2: they get banged up and now it's okay, Well he

1125
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 2: needs to hit right away or else we're now more

1126
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 2: concerned about we now Chris Gobin's coming back and Buka

1127
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 2: still has it fired yet like we thought he would.

1128
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 2: Now are we getting concerned about him? And the same

1129
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 2: day with Pearsall at Pearsol has to fire right away

1130
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 2: because I don't think it's sssily going to get easier

1131
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 2: for him if Jennings is back now oh and now

1132
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 2: brand now you can back in the life. They're trying

1133
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 2: to get him back and going. So it's kind of

1134
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 2: weird because it's kind of flipped. Its flipped on its

1135
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 2: head a little bit in terms of we like rookie

1136
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 2: receivers to produce in the second half of seasons, but

1137
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 2: Buka now has the path to produce right away and

1138
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 2: is he ready for it? But I mean, with all

1139
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 2: the training camp reports, his profile, it seems like he's

1140
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 2: going to probably hit the ground running the.

1141
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: Names immediately ahead of him besides Pearsall, who is the

1142
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: one spot ahead of him in real time adp Roma Dunsay,

1143
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: Chris olave Rashi, Rice, Travis Hunter. I would take a

1144
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 1: Buka over all four of those guys right.

1145
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 2: Now, that's what it seems like a pretty clean sweep.

1146
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I might even Again, we always talk about me

1147
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 1: fading Za Flowers, and I might take I would probably

1148
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: take a Buko over Flowers, honestly. I just think the

1149
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: ceiling's higher, and I think they both have similar floors, honestly,

1150
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: Like I just think Buka's is really good and you

1151
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: don't have to take him that early. Although again, I

1152
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 1: want to see what the real ADP does and everybody

1153
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: should be checking that out after this weekend if you

1154
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: have a draft the following weekend, to kind of see

1155
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 1: what it looks like updated. But I think he's a

1156
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: screaming value right now. Let's go to round nine ericson

1157
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: who do you have for us?

1158
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 2: My favorite late round time end, Tucker Craft. I think

1159
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 2: that he could be a top five Titan when we're

1160
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 2: drafting next year. He's a yards up to the Catster Monster,

1161
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 2: and a lot of the package receivers are banged up.

1162
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 2: I think that he could step up and be the

1163
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 2: alpha in this Packers passing game. And I think that

1164
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 2: Tucker Craft. I think Jordan Love overall is just being

1165
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 2: underrated as a quarterback that can fuel fantasy success. I

1166
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 2: mean two years ago in twenty twenty three, in his

1167
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 2: first year as a starter, he threw for over thirty

1168
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 2: touchdowns and forty two hundred passing yards. If he's healthy,

1169
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 2: look out for Tucker Craft. Look out for this packers

1170
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:31,280
Speaker 2: passing offense.

1171
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: Seriously, there are only two tight ends within a thirty

1172
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,399
Speaker 1: five pick range in real time ADP. In this range

1173
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: that Craft is in its Kraft and Tyler Warren. If

1174
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: I don't get one of the elite tight ends this year,

1175
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: which is kind of my preference, and then maybe I

1176
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: take like I do think Andrews is a little undervalued.

1177
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: But if I'm not getting one of those guys I'm

1178
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: really sure about when one of Kraft Warren goes, I'm

1179
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: taking the other. Like I think they are both really

1180
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: excellent picks.

1181
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 2: Tucker Craft's the only reason I don't have more talent one.

1182
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they go four spots apart in real time ADP.

1183
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: Warrens moved up a lot to kind of catch up there,

1184
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: but again, like in Djoko, is way ahead of Craft

1185
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: in real time ADP Ferguson is way behind Warren. Like

1186
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: these two are kind of back to back in their

1187
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: own little little pocket. If one of them goes, I'm

1188
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: just immediately taking the other if I don't have an

1189
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: elite tight end already. So I really like that one. Tom.

1190
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: I know that you really like Craft. We're going to

1191
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: get to Ayu like him later. Who is your picking?

1192
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 1: Round nine?

1193
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just in Fields and like, look, I'm not

1194
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 3: sure he's ever cracked the mental side of the game

1195
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 3: in the same way that guys who took a leak

1196
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 3: like Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts have as they've developed.

1197
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,959
Speaker 3: But then he's not had the stability that they've had.

1198
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 3: This is for a different team now. Last year it

1199
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 3: felt like he was really done dirty by the Steelers,

1200
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 3: like they were playing to an okay standard. But just

1201
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 3: see Mike Tommlin being Mike Tommlin. We know how incredibly

1202
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 3: headstrong he can be when he's made up his mind.

1203
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 3: He had it in his head he wanted Russell Wilson

1204
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 3: be the star. So Russell Wilson was the star. Now

1205
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 3: in those six games, but Field's played, he averaged thirty

1206
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 3: eight Russian yards, he havingges fifty points two across his

1207
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 3: career since the Detroit lines by Week in twenty twenty two,

1208
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 3: they've allowed a player to reach one hundred plus rushing

1209
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 3: yards against him just six times in forty six games,

1210
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 3: and three of those six games were just In Fields

1211
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 3: and Aaron Glenn was the defensive coordinator for all of

1212
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 3: those games. Now, obviously the camp reports haven't been great,

1213
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 3: the stuff in the preseason hasn't been great, But we

1214
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 3: don't really need Justin Fields to be great like that,

1215
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 3: because in twenty twenty two he completed twelve point eight

1216
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 3: passes per game for Bears and he was still QB

1217
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 3: five in points per game. So yeah, I think that

1218
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 3: at this point, if you're looking for a massive upside

1219
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 3: swing at quarterback, Justin Fields, it's hard to go past him.

1220
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: I know everybody on YouTube has been admiring my Raven's

1221
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: shirt this whole episode. I know Tom has been in

1222
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: Birings very jealous, So you should be jealous. If you're

1223
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 1: ready for some football, you can upgrade your NFL wardrobe

1224
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: with Chubbies. They've got a whole NFL collection. So of

1225
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: course I had to get myself a Ravens shirt, and

1226
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you is very very comfortable. It does

1227

Speaker 1: love love the raven stuff, but like they are crazy.

1263
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: They are crazy guys out These guys out thighs out

1264
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: Round ten ericson who do you have?

1265
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 2: The only reason I'm not hired on Justin Fields is

1266
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,919
Speaker 2: because i want Drake May. That's who I want as

1267
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 2: my quarterback in round ten. I think that he is

1268
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 2: the elite combination of what you're looking for in a

1269
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,479
Speaker 2: late run quarterback. He offers the rushing upside thirty rushing

1270
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 2: yards per game last season, and I think that he

1271
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 2: has a higher ceiling as a passer than Justin Fields does. Again,

1272
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 2: what we saw last year. He threw one touchdown pass

1273
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,280
Speaker 2: in every single game that he fully completed last season,

1274
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 2: and he was in a garbage situation. Now. It's not

1275
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 2: a great in terms of relative to other NFL teams,

1276
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 2: but compared to the twenty twenty four in England Patriots, Oh,

1277
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 2: it's night and day difference for Drake may So throwing

1278
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 2: the ball to Efton Chisholm Stefan Diggs. How can you

1279
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 2: not be obsessed with Drake May as the best late

1280
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 2: run quarterback you can draft? And I think that gives

1281
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 2: me so much confidence in Drake may is Week one,

1282
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 2: Week two Raiders Dolphins, two matchups that I feel confident

1283
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 2: that he can win in So you're feeling good about

1284
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 2: not just drafting Drake May late, but also plugging him

1285
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 2: into your Week one lineup.

1286
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: I believe we agreed it's Efton Hissm, not Chisholm, So

1287
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: please get that right. Show some respect for our breakout

1288
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:01,720
Speaker 1: favorite of the summer. But yeah, Drike makes QB fifteen.

1289
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 1: That's like crept up a bit throughout the offseason. He

1290
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,959
Speaker 1: is my favorite late late round QB. Like, yeah, we've

1291
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: talked a ton about him. Eric, say, Tom, where does

1292
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: May rank for you amongst the late round QB options?

1293
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: Because there is a lot of depth here. You already

1294
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: already mentioned fields in the previous round. Caleb Williams, c

1295
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: J Stroud, Jordan Love, JJ McCarthy, Trevor Law, It's Michael Penix, Junior,

1296
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: Bryce Young all I think really reasonable values. We are

1297
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: all going after May. So there's a lot of good

1298
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 1: names here, but May is my favorite. Like, if I

1299
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: had to pick one guy outside the top ten to

1300
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: finish as QB one overall this season, I'm not saying

1301
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 1: I would bet on it, but he would be my pick.

1302
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's two paths to consistently be in a top

1303
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 3: end quarterback in fantasy, it's either passing for two point

1304
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 3: seven touchdowns and average in like two hundred and forty

1305
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 3: passing yards or more, or it's rushing for about thirty

1306
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 3: five rushing yards per game. Like consistently, you go back

1307
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 3: over years and you look at the majority of the

1308
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 3: players who make up the weekly high scorers or the

1309
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 3: guys at the end of the season, and they come

1310
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 3: down to one of those factors by a rate of

1311
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 3: about sixty percent. And Drake Maye is going to give

1312
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,439
Speaker 3: us the rushing yards. He's got significant upgrades as pass

1313
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 3: catcher this year. And yeah, it's very hard for me

1314
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 3: not to click drag mate if I don't have a

1315
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 3: caught back by the time I get to him.

1316
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: Tom, who is your pick in round ten?

1317
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 3: It's Zach Charboney, So you know I kept my bit

1318
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 3: my tongue earlier while Andrew was singing Kenneth Walker's praise.

1319
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 3: But like Charbone at cost RB thirty five four games

1320
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 3: last year where he touched fall fifteen or more times.

1321
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 3: In three of those he finished as top eight running

1322
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 3: back if that included scores of eighteen points, twenty five

1323
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 3: and thirty eight points, Like, he is a really good player,

1324
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 3: and it's just one of those situations like taller LGA

1325
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 3: where you just get stuck behind perhaps just a slightly

1326
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 3: bed or running back or a much better running back

1327
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 3: in case of Algier, but he ranked twelve yards b

1328
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 3: target among running backs into fourth highest catch ray as well,

1329
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 3: and I think that's something that Sam Donald's gonna love.

1330
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 3: Like Sam Donald gave Aaron Jones fifty nine targets last year,

1331
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 3: and I think he's going to be checking down to

1332
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 3: Charboney plenty. And we know the continuent upside with Shabney

1333
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 3: is about as high as any backup running back in

1334
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 3: the league.

1335
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: We're into our rounds eleven to fifteen, this is going

1336
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: to be more rapid fire, and I think because we're

1337
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,280
Speaker 1: running along, what I actually want to do is have

1338
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: you guys do these guys as a group for each

1339
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: of your picks here. The exception is because I think

1340
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 1: we do need to talk about Ericson's first pick here,

1341
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 1: just given what has been going on in the last

1342
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: week in terms of the helium this guy has in

1343
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: the space. I'll pull up his real time ADP to

1344
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: see what it is right now. But Ericson, who is

1345
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: your picking round eleven and then we'll speed through all

1346
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: the others.

1347
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 2: Bill krossky Merritt running back for the Washington Commanders. So

1348
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 2: maybe you've heard of him.

1349
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe you've seen a highlight here or there,

1350
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: some tweets about him. He's RB forty one in real

1351
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,919
Speaker 1: time ADP that has jumped up in the last week

1352
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: twenty seven spots, so there's still more to go. I

1353
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to end there, but it's obviously

1354
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: moved up a ton already.

1355
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I just think that the play on him, I

1356
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 2: think the upside case frame is pretty clear. Just he

1357
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 2: could take over that Brian Robinson role, but maybe get

1358
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 2: a little bit more and be the more explosive version,

1359
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 2: which is why the Commanders think that Brian Robinson is expendable.

1360
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 2: And right now he's still on the Commanders, but all

1361
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 2: indications are if he's not traded, he's getting cut from

1362
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 2: this team. So somebody in this commander's backfield showed out

1363
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 2: enough during training camp in all indications where it was

1364
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 2: Bill that was doing it, that made the team look

1365
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 2: and see Brian Robinson and say we don't need this

1366
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 2: guy on the team. And Brian Robinson again We talked

1367
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 2: about him throughout the offseason. He's an average running back.

1368
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 2: He's not terrible, but he's an average running back. And

1369
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: they saw something in Bill where this guy can be

1370
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,919
Speaker 2: more than average, and I want to buy into that upside. Again,

1371
01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 2: there's obviously risk involved, but as long as you're not

1372
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 2: drafting him in round five or getting out of control,

1373
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 2: I think that round eight is probably the most aggressive.

1374
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 2: I would push him up because that's kind of where

1375
01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 2: Brian Robinson was going, and if he is in that role,

1376
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 2: then I think he can pay off that round eight

1377
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 2: ADP while working in tandem with an Austin Eckler. So

1378
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 2: I think it's a matter of just trying to play

1379
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 2: the ADP game with Jacroy krossky Merit. Try to get

1380
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 2: him on your roster, find out where he is going

1381
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 2: using the real time ADP. This is why this app

1382
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 2: was made, like why this tool exists so that you

1383
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 2: can have an edge and understand where crossky Merrit is

1384
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 2: being valued to your specific platform, trying to figure out, Okay,

1385
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 2: when can I pull the trigger on him and don't

1386
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 2: feel like I'm over extending. So I don't know if

1387
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 2: round eighty is too rich for you. Guys. I feel

1388
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 2: like that's probably where I was from up the most.

1389
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 1: But I was going to ask Tom, what's the right round?

1390
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1391
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 3: Well, So, like I said, I had Matthew Berry on

1392
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 3: with me yesterday, and being a commander's fan of the

1393
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 3: first thing I had to ask him was about Bill

1394
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 3: and he said that the feel he gets from sources

1395
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 3: he knows when the team and we all know that

1396
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 3: Matthew Berry knows a lot of people around the league

1397
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 3: is that they really love Chris Rodvegas as well, and

1398
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 3: that they're gonna really be okay if this is a

1399
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 3: three headed committee. So I think that Chris Rodriguez later

1400
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 3: in drafts in deeper leagues is definitely worth it. But

1401
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 3: I'd absolutely be fine taking Crossky Merriort in this kind

1402
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 3: of range, and I have taken him in a bunch

1403
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 3: of drafts over the last few days in this kind

1404
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 3: of like round eleven to twelve range.

1405
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 1: Art ericson speed through your rounds twelve through fifteen that

1406
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: you're interested in.

1407
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, round twelve is Bishal toot And running back

1408
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 2: for the Jaguars. Round thirteen is Bringlan Allen running back

1409
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 2: for the New York Jets. Round fourteen Marvin Mims wide

1410
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 2: receiver for the Denver Broncos with a full time role.

1411
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 2: Now Devon Bailey's season is over, Martin Mims is about

1412
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 2: to take over the world and round fifteen my bet

1413
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 2: on a fifth year wide receiver breakout the annual tradition

1414
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 2: like no other. Josh Palmer wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills.

1415
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Tom running through your rounds eleven through fifteen.

1416
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 3: Yes, Colston Loveland, Austin Eckler, then Tyler L. G. Cam

1417

1427
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 1: if you could leave with one player from every single

1428
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: draft at cost you know routs to where they're going,

1429
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 1: who would it be? Tom. I'll let you go first,

1430
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: because Erickson stole this guy from you in the main

1431
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: part of the show.

1432
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's a good job. We've drafted him a

1433
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 3: whole boat load on our Best Ball drafts every Monday,

1434
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 3: four pm Eastern on Twitch. Took a Craft like just

1435
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 3: such a good player, and I can't understand why he's

1436
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 3: going outside of the top twelve tight ends. Like he

1437
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 3: was a leading yard after the catch last year he

1438
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 3: had nine point three eight. No other tight end had

1439
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 3: more than seven. He also got there in touchdowns with seven.

1440
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 3: The only guys who had more touchdowns than him with

1441
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 3: George Kittle who had eight, and Mark Andrews said ten.

1442
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 3: He's shown us everything we need to see. And I

1443
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 3: think if the Packers lean more pass heavy, which feels

1444
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 3: like some of they want to do. Now we've added

1445
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 3: Matthew Golden, their first round one wide receiver in twenty

1446
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 3: plus years, then took a Craft is absolutely going to

1447
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:52,919
Speaker 3: benefit as well.

1448
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: Ericson Obviously you like Craft a lot because you picked

1449
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: them there, But who was your number one player you

1450
01:03:58,280 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: want to leave every draft with.

1451
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 2: Still one from Tom kind of just picked m Chase.

1452
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 2: He did no, no, no, no, because you only get

1453
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase out the one on one and one out

1454
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 2: of twelve chance. So for me, it's obvious drake Man,

1455
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 2: straff track mane Guys, fans, football doesn't have to be

1456
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 2: hard Straff trick man.

1457
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: I know we're talking about this from a snake draft

1458
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 1: perspective and you're making a joke about Chase. Would it

1459
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: be somebody like Chase if the if this was a

1460
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 1: salary cap draft where like you can choose to spend

1461
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: your I mean, it's a lot of money to spend

1462
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: of your draft budget. But would it be somebody like Chase,

1463
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: like I just want to get the best player in

1464
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 1: fantasy or would it still be like I'd rather get

1465
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: like a two dollars drink may or something.

1466
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 2: I'd still just want Jamar Chase. I just think that

1467
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 2: he has he has the situation where, yes, we don't

1468
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 2: see a lot of wide receiver ones repeat, but I

1469
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 2: mean his situation is a lot of that's because there's

1470
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 2: always things that are changing, right like quarterback injuries and

1471
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 2: off it's a coordinator changes and head coaches. But there's

1472
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 2: nothing different about the Bengals than last year, except their

1473
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 2: defense might be worse.

1474
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 1: Like that's the thing.

1475
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 2: The defense might be worse. So h yeah, just continue

1476
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 2: to draft Jamar Chase and just be happy. There we go.
