WEBVTT - Too Early First Round 0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:04.800 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:10.280 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio, 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:14.040 your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy football advice 0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:17.319 and speculation and whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:22.840 into the show. Now, here's your host, Paul. Welcome to 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.400 Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchy and my co 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:31.880 host today Brian Johnson. Hello, it's always fun to talk 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.000 through the first round. We do it kind of on 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:38.800 and off all off season, really, and maybe it's not 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:41.120 fair to all the other players. Maybe you know, the 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.479 second round is just as important as the first round. 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.839 Maybe it's more important. Third round, maybe that's more important, 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.839 But the reality is it's the first round and everybody, 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.400 it's all the star players, and who doesn't love talking 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:56.040 about all that stuff. Everybody everybody loves talking about those things. 0:00:56.480 --> 0:01:01.680 So we're going to do a too early PPR mock 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.679 draft of the first round, twelve players order. We take 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:08.480 them in. You and I basically alternated making making selections, 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:12.440 so we don't have twelve different minds here, and so 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.600 you know, there's there's that, But we're smarter than most 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:17.400 of the other ten would have been anyway, and right, 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:21.200 we're representing each of the twelve teams. So like if 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.640 the first three picks I make are running backs, it's 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:26.520 not like I'm gonna stop picking running backs because I'm 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.440 building one team. I'm just correct. We're doing what as 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:33.080 this as these players fall off the board. That's right, 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.800 That's right, all right? So uh, in listeners, if you 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:38.720 want to uh, if you want to respond to this, 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.000 we care about what you think, you probably will listen 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:42.920 to us and go what you didn't take so and so, 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.679 or you took this guy too earlier, too late. You 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.680 can tweet at us at Paul Charchion on Twitter and 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:53.960 at b t x J for Brian Johnson. We uh, 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.000 we want to know, do you buy into our mock 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.840 draft to our picks make sense. Let's begin with the 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.280 first pick. We flipped the virtual coin. It was the 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:07.040 Fantasy Football Weekly Anniversary coin, and I lost that pick. 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.960 You have the first selection in next year's draft. What 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.359 you're doing at one oh one? Well, let's shake it up. 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:19.880 This pick might draw some disagreement, but I'm going Derrick 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.040 Henry first. Overall, I know it's a PPR league and 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.200 it doesn't catch a lot of passes, but the age 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.880 old adage is you can't win your league with your 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.600 first round pick, but you can certainly lose it. And uh, 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.440 you know you lose it when you take guys like 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:38.240 Christian McCaffrey or U s Kwon Barkley to no fault 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.560 of their own, get injured, stuff like that, and then 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.680 you're really swimming up, swimming up stream for the remainder 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.200 of the season if your first round pick, uh goes 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.320 belly up like that. But Derrick Henry has not gone 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.959 belly up over the last three seasons, really the only 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.720 the three full seasons he has played. He turns twenty 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.560 seven in July, basically entering the prime of his career. 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.320 Uh star twenty seven the prime for running back. It 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:05.760 seems like considering his first three years he still had 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.840 a lot of tread on his tires. Just from twenties 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:11.960 when he's really gotten the heavy volumes. Carriers have gone 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.880 up from two fifteen to three oh three to three 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.760 seventy eight. This sounds a lot. Uh you know what 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.639 happens to to running backs that get over the whatever 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.120 three or thirty carry threat. I don't know, but Henry 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:29.560 Man he seems like he's cut seems different. The corresponding 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.480 touchdowns have gone up each year to twelve, sixteen, seventeen 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.920 this year. It's just he gets stronger as the season 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.600 goes on. He's proven that year in and years right 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.320 for fantasy playoffs. And he he doesn't catch a lot 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.280 of passes, I know, but his targets have gone up 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.360 year over years as well, and the catches have gone 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.560 up with them, fifteen to eighteen to nine to not 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.640 a ton. But it's not like he can't catch, just 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.560 the opportunities really haven't been there. And there's nothing scarier 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.840 than Derrick Henry with the ball in open space. I 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.400 don't know why they don't try to throw them the 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:04.800 ball more, but maybe they will coat coate right. Arthur 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.440 Smith is gone, and but I gotta believe he's still 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:12.360 going to be a Derrick Henry lad offense, absolutely and 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.520 and and it's not like he's the only offense too. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.000 He's got a great pass game. Tennessee has a great 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:21.360 pass a tack to balance things out. So Henry, Yes, 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:27.560 McCaffrey Barkley have a higher ceiling probably, but Henry's ceiling 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.839 is just about the same. And I'd like his chances 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.320 of hitting it more than the other guys. He's just 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.960 more more trust word. Well, it's a very safe selection. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.520 It would not have been my selection at with the 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.200 first overall pick, but that's okay. It's totally defense. I 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:40.880 don't think it would be most people, but that's where 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.760 I'm going. Okay. With the second pick of the first round, 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.640 I A'm taking Christian McCaffrey, um, which it was a 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:48.840 very tough call over what's going to be the next 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.160 three guys that are going to go in our draft? 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.279 And you hear about the others in a moment, who 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:57.280 I considered all of them? Here he's um. Christian McCaffrey 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.799 was the consensus first pick last year by a mile. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.560 Like drafts, Christian McAffrey was number one last year and 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.040 lost of course, as you'd already know, the seasoned injury. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:07.919 But none of those injuries last year the type that 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.120 are gonna linger into this year. If they needed Christian 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.080 McAffrey to play a game right now, he'll be fine. 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:17.200 He's fine now, So I do believe that he's You 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.200 don't have to worry about last year's injury. In fact, 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.440 it's one fewer year of wear and tear on Christian McCaffrey, 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.960 and whether it's Teddy or somebody else at quarterback for 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.800 the Panthers, Christian McCaffrey likely remains the focus of this offense. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.120 I can it will be if it's Teddy, I could 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.400 throw screen passes the Christian. Yes you can? Yes? If 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.440 um now in you get this. In Christian McCaffrey's two 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.279 and a half games that he played this year, he 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.840 averaged thirty fantasy points per game, which is more than 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.000 any other runner two and a half games and a 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.520 half games. But yeah, I guess because he seemed like 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:54.480 he was coming back every week. But so in his 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.920 two and a half games, he averaged thirty fantasy points 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.760 per game, most of anywhere on there. The modestly skilled 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.680 like Davis ended up being an every week starter for 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:07.840 you in this same offense. And he's fractionally as talented Caroline. 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.559 His offense is capable of creating fantasy production. We already 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.080 know that for Christian McCaffrey that will seduce. So again, 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.320 what are you doing to pick one oh three third 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.640 pick the first round? Yeah, it's uh, like you said, 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.680 these are the first five picks are first? Yeah, four 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.600 or five picks very tough, I should say, I don't 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.840 think Derrick Henry was with a bullet pick at one, 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.680 but that's where you could go of Anyways, McCaffrey is 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.479 certainly a viable option, and so is uh Dalvin Cook. 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:34.080 Who's is who I would take if McCaffrey and Henry 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.200 had fallen off the board. Uh, it's kind of really 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.480 the same concerns with McCaffrey. It's injury, right, um, and 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.719 now that you should be so concerned with him getting 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:47.320 injured in one. But Cook has never played a full season. 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.880 Tore his a c L four games into his rookie 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.680 year and his games played in the three years following eleven, fourteen, 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.479 and fourteen, so he's never played a full year. Gary 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:00.839 Kubiak is retiring. I think that things Cook's value a little. 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.760 I don't know, I don't click Kubiak's gonna it takes 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.760 over and really Zimmer, well, this is the beauty of 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.960 cook is Zimmer insists that is runners get a ton 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:10.880 of work. Well, you have your finger on the pulse 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:12.680 with the Vikings way way better than I do. Uh, 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.920 that's for sure. So I don't know. Is Dalvin Cook 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.160 incredibly high ceiling just like McCaffrey could easily finish RB 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:22.240 one fantasy player number one overall, so I would go 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.119 cook here for the moon and uh hopefully stays healthy. 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.880 Vikings offensive line as it is currently constructed in February 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.360 right now is about the worst pass blocking line in 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.920 the NFL. And they're just like a below average run 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.520 black blocking line. So they run. They need to run 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.680 a lot anyway because that's what their line allows them 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.920 to do. Sure to address that in the draft, yet again, 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.960 one would hold I think so at pick four of 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.240 the first round, I am taking Davante Adams dominated his 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.120 position last year, leading all wide receivers and fantasy points. 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.360 Despite missing two and a half games, he still let 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.720 all receivers and fantasy points. He had the second most 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:02.000 fantasy points per game, uh, and it was not even close. 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.080 And all season long he only had two Dudd games 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:08.560 all year, and even those two Dudd games was like 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.559 a six catch sixty yard game and a seven catch 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.880 like fifty yard game. That's not bad. I mean you've 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.000 got six and seven catches, you know, you end up 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:21.200 in double digit fantasy points in the PPR leagues anyway, 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:25.760 and if you include the playoffs, Adams scored in fourteen 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.120 of his sixteen full games, which is crazy for a 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:33.240 wide receiver or really anybody. I mean, they're treating like 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.280 a goal line running back. Essentially, it's like one yard 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:42.480 line right. His average game this year eleven targets, nine catches, 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:48.760 eight yards, and one point three touchdowns. Staggering production for 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:53.040 Davante Adams. Now, there are reasons to think Adams could 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:59.240 regress in almost that level of production is almost unsustainable. 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:05.000 Sod just natural regression would be number one, number two. 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.920 Two years ago, Aaron Rodgers was quarterback twenty by fantasy points. 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.720 Everything really fell off the table. And will he remain 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:18.040 at m v P levels at age eight? Maybe not? 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:20.640 You know, maybe that's not Maybe it doesn't all come 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:25.160 together Faron Rodgers. And then lastly, do the Packers bring 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.440 in a good receiver and there's a bunch of good 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.679 receivers in free agency? They bring in a good receiver 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.680 who's gonna siphon off targets and siphon off some of 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.960 the necessity that the Packers had to go to Davante Adams, 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:40.800 And I think that's a real threat. Yeah, I think 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.199 they definitely bring in another wide receiver. And and Robert 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.760 Tony in too, don't he's a he's a threat to Adams. 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.600 He wasn't like fully utilized all year. You could say, 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.280 and if they really take the let the take the 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.320 reins off at him, then uh, that could step Adams 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.080 production for sure. But Adams could still go. You know, 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.000 he could still regrets and he absolutely belongs to pick 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.400 for the first round. What are you doing do with 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.840 pick five? Yeah, I was. I was expecting to take 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.600 Adams here because I thought you would have selected Travis 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.800 Kelsey at four. But it was between those two. It's 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:11.959 almost so close, it's a virtual coin flip. But I 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:15.400 would take Travis Kelsey here if you're still available. Would 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.680 have finished as wide receiver three in twenty on a 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:22.360 total points and a points per game basis in PPR 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:27.360 fourteen PPR points per game. UM. Now, Darren Waller, if 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.280 he didn't exist, Kelsey might be the clear cut one 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:34.000 oh one, because Waller at eleven points per game can 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.840 almost cancel out the Kelsey advantage. But that's about it. 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:40.880 The next three tight ends with the most points per 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.840 game that played a full season, after Kelsey at fourteen 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.959 Waller to eleven, where Robert touny in, Mark Andrews and 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.439 t J. Hockenson, who combined to average around seven and 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:56.839 a half points per game, combined to like with the average. 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.920 So Kelsey's essentially two of those guys and you're tight 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:05.000 in spots. Such a huge positional advantage. Positional advantage is massive. Now, 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:09.440 could Darren Waller or a fully healthy George Kittle finished 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.680 the year is tight end one maybe, but it's gonna 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.880 be Travis Kelsey can and I don't trust Kittle to 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.520 stay healthy because it's such a violent blocker too, and 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.000 that's such a big part of his game. So Wallers, 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.959 you want to threat, yeah, Kelsey wide receiver three as 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.720 your tight end, and then it's such a huge advantage. 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.120 I have no problem with people going Kelsey at the 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.520 first pick, as you mentioned earlier, and I may end 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.120 up swaying myself to to do that over the course 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.880 of the off season. Right now, I agree with what 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:40.760 I agree with that you're where you've got him at five. 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.000 If you're doing multiple drafts, I think this is the 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.520 year you have to diversify not only among players but positions. 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.679 Running back, wide receiver. You can take Davanta Adams roost 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:53.160 overall this year, that's certainly a viable strategy at pick 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:57.000 six in the first round. I've got Tyreek Hill. I 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.960 don't think I need to defend selecting Patrick Mahomes is 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.840 go to wide receiver in any way here, uh. In 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.320 Fantasy points per game, he his rank since Patrick Mahomes 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.400 wide receiver to wide receiver eleven and wide receiver five. 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.640 He's been great, obviously, And you know what, just intangibly, 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.520 I love having guys in my fantasy team who can 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.360 score on every single play in which the ball is 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:23.600 in their hands, you know, like Barry Sanders in his prime, 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.800 and you could They're just there are only a couple 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.240 of guys like that in the NFL. Entyreek Kill, every 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.120 single play is a potential touchdown no matter where they 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:34.760 are in the field. And those guys are just fun 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.360 to have. When we come back, we'll go through pick 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:41.959 seven and beyond in our all too early PPR mock Draft. 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:46.000 Please stay tuned, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charging 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.240 and Brian Johnson with you going through the are what 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:54.640 we believe is a inappropriate first round PPR mock draft, 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.720 especially for February. For February for what, Yeah, it's it's 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:02.480 way too early. But February, UM already taken Derrick Henry, 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.760 then Christian McCaffrey, than Dalvin Cook soon running back, running back, 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.320 running back. Then we've gone off running back, Davante Adams, 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:13.600 Travis Kelsey, and Tyree Hill. Let's go to pick seven 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.959 of the first round. Brian. Now, when we were doing 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.120 this draft together, we were was going swimming lee for 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:21.960 six picks, and I think we can agree those are 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.320 the six in whatever order you prefer. And once we 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:26.920 hit seven, then I was like, Okay, I need a 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:28.360 few minutes to think about this. I'll let you know 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.000 when you're back on the client. And Uh, it's a 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.920 tough choice with these six guys off the board. Um, 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.080 and this is the first one of your picks that 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.720 I don't agree with. Really, Okay, I don't know if 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.640 I agree with this. Will be honest with you the 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:43.880 more I looked into it, But I said, I shot 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:47.079 for the moon with Dalvin Cook with the third pick, 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.000 But you're really shooting for the moon with se Kwon 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:53.480 Barkley the seventh overall pick in your draft. Let's start 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.520 with some good Uh, Barkley should be full go by 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.480 the time trading camp start. It's probably he blew out 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.000 the a c L in Week one, plenty of time 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:05.079 to recover. Very young, and his talent is undeniable. Passes 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.280 the eye test, the metrics were all there um since 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.960 the start of here. The most rushing touchdowns of twenty 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.880 plus yards, Derrick Henry has seven s. Kwan Barkley and 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.360 Nick Chob both have seven excuse Barkley's missed two seasons. 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.920 Barkley's played thirty one games, chob has played forty four, 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.520 and Henrys played forty seven. So Barkley arguably the most 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.160 talented running back in all of the NFL. The problem 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:29.840 is this is on the Giants and that's where the 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.440 where the bad comes in, especially the rest of the team. 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.600 The old line ended the season ranked second to last 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:39.160 by Pro Football Focus. New York drafted Andrew Thomas fourth 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:42.680 overall last year. The first tackle selected in the draft, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:47.640 Thomas allowed fifty seven pressures pressures tackle, fourteen more than 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:51.040 any other player at the position. He was the only 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.920 player at left tackle to be charged with ten sacks 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:59.880 allowed as well. So and you know Daniel Jones for 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.520 Nick still out on him, and I might be the 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.480 best thing you can say, although I'll mention this there. 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:06.840 I saw a bunch of metrics at the end of 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.240 the year that showed that Daniel Jones played the hardest 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.960 schedule against the past of any quarterback by a mile, 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.520 and I think that's I think there's some truth to that. 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.120 So there is some opportunity for him to get better there, Yes, 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:23.360 And so back to the line. Giants sure to address 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.360 it in the draft again, one would hope, and they'll 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.400 get Nate Solder back, the right tackle that locked it 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.720 out because of COVID concerns. I think his wife has 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.600 had cancer or something like that. So we didn't play, 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.800 so that should help. But uh yeah, again, you're kind 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.600 of fearing re injury, even though you necessarily shouldn't. It's 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:40.960 not that Barkley is injury prone or as a history 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.200 of injury, but you're worried about the a c L. 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.480 But if he stays healthy all year, he should live 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:49.600 up to the seventh pick, if not higher. So cross 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.960 her fingers healthy. You know, he was picked two on 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:55.880 average last year, and because he's an extraordinary talent, and 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.400 you just hope that these the the a c L 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.880 doesn't say some of that from him and but nowadays 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:04.840 you look at Dalvin Cook came off the a sail 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:06.600 and look as good as he ever did. So it 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.280 just it just doesn't mean as much as it used to. Um. 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.880 I think you can get Barkley later than that, but 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.320 not a lot later. I think I think he's going 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:17.480 to be going into first round more often than not. Yeah. Now, 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.640 a player that I'm gonna take with pick eight is 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.600 somebody who I think some of you would have taken 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:27.200 as earliest pick two. Alvin Kmara. His average draft position 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:31.320 is pick three right now. In the in the early ADPs, 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.040 it was it was a Kimara Barkley quin fla. So 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:39.080 why did you pass on Kimara four times? I just 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.880 still don't view him as a true running back. I 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:44.760 don't know, you know what I mean. He just it's 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.640 not like the no, I don't know carry guy. He's 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:50.400 never going to see that kind of volume of carries. 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:54.080 I mean he has periodically, but you know, and losing 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:56.520 breeze hurts. I don't like that offense. I don't like 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:58.560 him as much with if Taysom Hills a quarterback, that's 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.960 your damn sure, So unmitigating that risk unless you're gonna 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.480 prove me wrong here. Well, well, let's talk it through. 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.879 He scored Alvin Kamara scored the most fantasy points of 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.720 any running back. But it's harder to evaluate his season 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:14.720 because the six touchdown explosion against Minnesota skews all his 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.400 status just a little bit. You know, if we remove 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.080 the Minnesota game altogether, just wipe that off the books 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.000 as though it never even happened. He's still RB three though, 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.520 behind only Cooking Henry for Alvin Kamara. So you know, 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:31.439 as even without those six touchdowns, he was still awfully good. 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.800 He only had nine hundred rushing yards and he only 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.440 hit one hundred rushing yards one time that Viking game, 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:42.919 but he chipped in seven hundred fifty receiving yards. That 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:46.920 puts him at almost seventeen hundred total yards, which is fantastic. 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.320 He caught eighty three passes after catching one and eighty 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.440 two passes the previous three years. He can bank on 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:57.680 him hitting between eighty one and eighty three receptions every year. 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.840 And that's that is PPR gold we love at now 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:02.960 as you meant to the offense loses Drew Brees and 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.880 his games under Taysom Hill were the worst of his season, 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:12.200 Hill started four games. Camara's PPR points per game dropped 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:17.480 in half half. Three of Camara's four worst games the 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:22.280 entire year, including the playoffs, were under Taysom Hill and 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.919 Hill starts. I told you I mentioned before Camara finished 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:30.040 the season as RB one and Hill starts. He was 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.719 RB twenty in Fantasy points per game, Alvin Camara, And 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.240 that's your worry. Remember before Breeze went down, Camaro was 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:41.520 on pace to break McCaffrey's reception record. But for running 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.920 backs that just last year. But yeah, that all went 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.000 out the windows. It did. There was a game it 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.639 wasn't even targeted. I recall, which was we're like, why 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.280 would you ever do that? So you gotta call the 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.320 police and Camara drops to eight. That explains why he 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.680 drops to eight, is that's the concern. But the upside 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:00.640 is RB one by scoring back in the league last 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:02.320 year and he's and I got him at pick eight. 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.200 You're up on for pick number nine. Who are you selecting? 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.200 It didn't seem like you would have RB one potential, 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:11.320 uh watching his first eight games in the league. But 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:16.560 Jonathan Taylor came on strong. Yeah, from Week eleven through 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:20.320 the wild card game. I'll include that seven games he 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:22.840 averaged twenty carries, a hundred and seventeen yards and more 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.719 than one rushing touchdown per game, caught around two balls 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.359 fifteen yards. We know that's more of Nahem Hines is 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:34.000 a bit, but uh, Taylor just gangbusters in the second 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.200 half of the year and he looks just great going 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.480 into one, as do the Colts. Uh in terms of 0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:41.800 the offensive line, at least for next seventh last year 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.280 by Pro Football Focus, they'll all be in place going 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:47.679 to one. Yes, Indian needs a quarterback, but I'm not 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.520 too worried about that from Taylor's perspective. And I should 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.280 have mentioned this for Derrick Henry h at the first 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.119 overall pick, because this is a major boon for he 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.600 and Jonathan Taylor. Two games against the Texans and Jaguars 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:02.320 next year, right, that helps, That's the quarter of your season. 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:07.280 He's like guaranteed scream of Jars at least. So Yeah, 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:10.040 Taylor looked like he was a borderline bust first half 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.879 of the year, but uh, that changed drastically in the 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.160 second half. And uh, I think he's got bell cow 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.920 written all over him going into well, I see, I 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.200 don't think anybody Bell cows in that offense. I don't 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.719 think Frank Raich is built that way, and he's proven 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:29.240 it in in Philisolphia late in the year, he was 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:31.399 getting over twenty carries. Twenty seven carries, you have to 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.760 get thirty carries in the game. I that's the part 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.760 that worries me about Taylor is just is that what's 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:39.680 the usage gonna be like? And is he gonna have 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:44.520 these games where he just disappears still he s the 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.320 carries in the bag. I hope you're right for Taylor 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:53.800 pick ten. I struggled with this selection and ultimately decided 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.840 on dk Metcalf, who is the fourth highest scoring receiver 0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:01.480 from weeks one through twelve, And then the wheels came 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:04.560 off for that whole Seattle offense and he felled the 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:10.440 wide receiver thirty seven after that, including being outscored by 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:16.480 guys like Isaiah mackenzie and Darnell Mooney. Are you serious? 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:20.679 Those guys more better than dk Metcalf. But really it 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:22.840 wasn't just him. The whole Seattle offense came to a 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.399 halt in December. There's an offense that generated seventeen points 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:31.520 three points, fifteen points nine points and then twenty three 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:35.280 points in the playoff game. That's it. So it was bad. 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:40.359
