1
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: What's up everybody. Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Live Podcast.

2
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: I am not Marcus Grant. No, I am Michael Fabriano

3
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: here with Graham Barfield. Marcus not with us today, so

4
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: we will do our best to make up for his absence. Yeah,

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: Marcus and his girlfriend are are kind of in holding pattern. Wait,

6
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: need to have a kid exciting time. Yeah, send Marcus

7
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: you're well. Wishes. Yeah, so obviously we wish Marcus uh

8
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: and his u mr is the best and uh hopefully

9
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: we'll have some some very good news very soon, maybe

10
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: on the next podcast. I think I'm very I don't

11
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: think I'm more excited than Marcus is. Well, that does

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: a little weird, that's a little straight. Marcus is just

13
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: not the type to get excited about a lot of things. Yeah, no,

14
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: I exactly, yeah, exactly, unless it's like USC or the

15
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: Dodgers or something like something that Ken Brown with us

16
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: today behind the glass, Ken, how are you? I'm doing well?

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: And yeah, you mentioned him with USC. I don't think

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot to be excited for with us. It

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: needs to put all the focus into the kid. Yeah,

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: and um uh WrestleMania is coming up, buddy, right I'm

21
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: a big wrestling fan. Oh yeah, are you going? No,

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: I can't go my days of going to WrestleMania or

23
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: over man, I got a kid to deal with, and

24
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: you know, when it's in I'll go. But like I can't,

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: Like it's in New York, I'm gonna New York exactly.

26
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: I can't do that. My girlfriend, my girlfriend killing me.

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: It should be a good card, but overall, I'm not

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: going to make the trip out in New York either.

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see miss beat the snot out

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: of Shane McMahon. It's gonna happen. It's gotta happen. It's

31
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: gotta happen. All right, guys, let's get to the news. Well,

32
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: unless you've been living under a rock, um, you you

33
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: know that Rob Gronkowski has is it officially retired, because

34
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: then you hear all these reports that he might come back.

35
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: So at this point, Rob Gronkowski has retired from the

36
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: National Football League and Graham, he was arguably the best

37
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: fantasy tight end of all time, gonna be hard to replace.

38
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's retired. I think we've kind

39
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: of been waiting on this for so many years now.

40
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: I mean, with with his back and knee and arm problems.

41
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: I think we've all kind of been waiting on the

42
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: inevitability that he would just kind of hit a wall.

43
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: It kind of seems like he's maybe already having second thoughts,

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: and if it turns August and he's like kind of

45
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: getting the edge, it kind of sounds like he'll come back.

46
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: But yeah, Gronk is the best tight end of all time.

47
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of been crazy and ridiculous, like

48
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: people feel like they haven't avenue they have to have

49
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: a contrarian opinion. Um, even though it's of course Gronk

50
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: is the best tight end of all time and he

51
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: is a surefire first out ballot hall face. Yeah. I mean,

52
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: you know, you could throw the names out there, Shannon Sharp,

53
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzaz were a fantasy show. No tight end in

54
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: the history of the lead who's played in at least

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: sixty five games has average more PPR points than Gronkowsk.

56
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the dude was a touchdown machine, and he

57
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: was he was entertainment to man. Those Gronk spikes, you

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: had to love it. No tight end has ever averaged

59
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: more yards per game, or touchdowns per game, or yards

60
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: per target, and Gronkowski at his best was probably one

61
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: of the best run blocking tight ends in the NFL histories.

62
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: Couldn't cover him red zone machine, and he was a

63
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: great blocker. I mean that's why I mean that Chargers

64
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: game in the playoffs was so it was just a

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: classic ground game because I mean, he didn't have a

66
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: huge receiving game, obviously, but he was so so good

67
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: and so effective in their in their running game. It

68
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: was a huge part of what they did. Patriots are

69
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: gonna miss him, obviously, and I mean even even a

70
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: shell of Gronkowski like we had kind of the playoffs

71
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: in this past year, they'll still miss that. You're not

72
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: buying into Matt Lacosse. I guess, oh boy, well, you

73
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: know what, Gronkowski's Uh, he's retired at this point. We'll

74
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: see if that changes as we get through the off season.

75
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: But absolutely, first ballot Hall of Famer, the best tight

76
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: end and Fantasy football history re and uh he goes

77
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: on on top two goes out on top of the

78
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship another one. I guess it's kind of

79
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: a quasi on top because he kind of took his

80
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: time to say he was retiring but sure, Yeah, I can't.

81
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see him wrestle. And you know

82
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: that's coming. He's gonna wrestle. Oh, I was surprised he

83
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: wasn't it raw on Monday. It was in Boston. I

84
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: thought he just remired he's gonna show up and be

85
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: on Monday night Raw. Yeah, he'll probably be at WRESTLEMANI

86
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: and you would think so, he's been there before, so

87
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: do it again? Getting in acting too, dude, Like there's

88
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a reality TV show, you know. I mean

89
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: this guy, Uh, he's he's made a lot of money.

90
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna make a lot more money. Outside of the

91
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: game of professional football. Now, we talk about the Patriots

92
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: and you lose a huge red zone threat in Rob

93
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: Gronkowski despite what his numbers look like in two thousand

94
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: and eighteen. You know, the Patriots they're right now, they're

95
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: in a bit of a hole in terms of pass catchers. Graham,

96
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: it is they are. But I mean, at the same time,

97
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: Brady and all of them. Man edge last year without

98
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: Gronkowski most of the year. Um Edelman is gonna be

99
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: another year old, but I mean he's gonna get peppered

100
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: with targets again, but moved him up. Absolutely, they have

101
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: got to. I will be surprised if they don't come

102
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: out of the draft with at least one tight end.

103
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: And they have I believe six top one picks, so

104
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: they're going to be well arranged to target Fan, Target, Hawkinson,

105
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: Target or Smith from Alabama. No. Imagine, imagine if they

106
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: got one of the top three tight ends, like suddenly,

107
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: everyone in the fantasy football world would be like sleeper

108
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: fat sleeper Hawkinson and mean and and our lands are

109
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: line as compared Hockinson to Travis Kelsey Getty up. Yeah,

110
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean they were apparently in on the Antonio Brown swoopsticks,

111
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: which I can believe now, especially since they Bill Belichick

112
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: probably knew Gronk. This would be Gronk's last ride. I

113
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: can't believe that the Steelers would do that though. Yeah,

114
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: that was never gonna happen for that, they were never

115
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: going to trade him to the a f c um.

116
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, the Patriots are in a bit of a

117
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: bind right now. Um, we'll see James White and and

118
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman get get their fair share of targets, and

119
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: Brady will just they'll just plot along like they always do.

120
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, this definitely takes a huge explosive vertical

121
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,239
Speaker 1: element out of their passing offense. Because even when gronkowskis

122
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: like I've mentioned, he's he was a shell of this

123
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: self last year, he's still fantastic. I mean, right now,

124
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: you're looking at Philip thor said as their number two,

125
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: Maria Harris as their three at the wide receiver position,

126
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: and uh, and I mentioned Maddie Lacosse now would be

127
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: projected to have the most fantasy value among Patriots side ends.

128
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens there, but um, yeah, the Patriots,

129
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: you would expect them to do a little bit of something. Uh.

130
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: One draft, I wonder if they'll kick the tires on

131
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. Well, and he's available, and he's he I

132
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna be He'll be signed on a one

133
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: year deal. There's a there's a chance because Graham has

134
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: had basically essentially no free agency puts whatsoever. Um, he's

135
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: still sitting out there. I mean, I wonder if they'll

136
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: go after him. But yeah, it's they're gonna be very thin.

137
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna roll into this year and be very thin regardless.

138
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: Well is Graham or free agent though Jimmy Graham, Yeah,

139
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a free agent. Is he still

140
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: on the Packers roster? He's still in the Packers roster. Yeah.

141
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: I thought they'd come that was wrong. Graham is still

142
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: on the roster. That that's sort of why, uh and

143
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: a lot of our guys have the Packers taking a

144
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: tight end in their mock drafts. That would sort of

145
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: be a dynasty league situation there too, unless the Packers

146
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: decide that they do want to cut ties with Jimmy Graham.

147
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: But he's still on. He's still on the roster and um,

148
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: although you wouldn't know it after what he did or

149
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: didn't do last season. So with the Patriots now losing Gronkowski,

150
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: we think you would expect there to be potentially a

151
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: bigger increase in terms of the ground attack with Sony

152
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: Michelle and James White who and I've seen a lot

153
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: of rankings out there. Obviously, Graham and I we do

154
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: our own rankings. And if the Patriots don't do something

155
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: in terms of improving their pass catchers. Let's not forget

156
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: James White was a top ten PPR running back. I

157
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: get it. He faded at the end of the last season,

158
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: but he could still see a lot of targets and

159
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities in that past stack off. The

160
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: Patriots don't do a little something something to improve what

161
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: they have right now at their pass catcher position, which

162
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: is uh Julian Edelman and uh not much of anything else.

163
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it, that's always got right now. Ye

164
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: Speaking of uh tight ends, Jared Cook did sign somewhere,

165
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: I did, guess with the New Orleans Saints, where Jimmy

166
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: Graham used to play, and Cook was a top ten

167
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: tight end last season with the Oakland Raiders. Goes to

168
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: New Orleans where I mean Graham had a lot of success.

169
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: Clearly since then, you know, not so much. You know

170
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: Ben Watson kind of what do you expect from Jared Cook?

171
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: And you see still a top ten tight end from

172
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: a fantasy respective in New Orleans. I don't know why

173
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: I didn't my Jimmy had Jimmy Graham got cut. That's

174
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: weird anyway, Maybe you're just trying to will that the world.

175
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: I guess I am. Yeah. Jared Cook. Um, look, he's

176
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: still Jared Cook. He's still a maddenly frustrating player. Um,

177
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: he'll be thirty two to start or excuse me, I'll

178
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: be thirty two to start this next year, um My

179
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: Stints of the Stints have kind of punted on their

180
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: tight end position, like you mentioned, since Jimmy Graham left,

181
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: they have not had an impact receiver. I think Jimmy,

182
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Jared Cook can come in and

183
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: catch fifty five balls. But am I super excited for him?

184
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: Is like a top twelve fantasy tight end there. It's

185
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: just it's still Jared Cook. Michael Thomas is going to

186
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: get his fair share. Alvin Kamara is gonna get his

187
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: fair share. I say he's he's sort of a back

188
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: end tight end one because of the offense because he's

189
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: catching passes from Drew Brees. But let's not forget he

190
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: became the number one option in Oakland last year for

191
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. Right, they traded Mary Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys.

192
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson who who has retired now it was a

193
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: shell of his former self. They didn't have much of anything.

194
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: Martavis Bryant was in trouble again. So you've got a

195
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: situation there where you know Cook was going from being

196
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: the top option to being three four, Maybe New Orleans

197
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: because you've got Alvin Kamara there as well, So who

198
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: who catches? As we know, two fabs. The Saints always

199
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: love to rotate the receivers too, so it's not like

200
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: Cook is going to have necessarily a locked in role

201
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: in their passing offense every single week. So perfect tie

202
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: in here to our next topic. Saints. The NFL owners

203
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: decided to pass the new p I rule. Uh, what's

204
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: the fantasy impact here? I've think it's negligible, but it's

205
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: still like, I mean, this is one of those things

206
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: that they just couldn't mess up. It's obvious that this

207
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: needed to happen, right, I mean after I mean, that

208
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: was a disaster. This should have happened four or five

209
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: years ago. Though, Like all plays should have been reviewable,

210
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: especially like pretty obvious non p I calls, right, yeah,

211
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: obviously great to see. Um, well, they can also a

212
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: red flag if they believe there was a p I

213
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: that wasn't called right, And if there was a p

214
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: I that was called correct and they don't agree with it,

215
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: then they could throw the flag. I don't like the

216
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: new rule really. I don't like being able to challenge

217
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: non calls to me, you can call pass interference on

218
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: almost every play, So I don't know would you be

219
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: thinking that way if you were a Sales fan. Yeah,

220
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: but ultimately ultimately yes, because you can't just look at

221
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: one play and make a rule change based on that.

222
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: The problem. The problem though is, um, you still only

223
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: get two challenges. I mean, so it's not like you're

224
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: gonna be sitting there throwing the red flag on every

225
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: ticky tacky. Then everybody on social media is like, oh,

226
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: the game is gonna get longer. Really, so the game

227
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: is already I know, even if it gets a little

228
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: bit longer, you're gonna turn the channel. Hell no, people

229
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: say football people say this every single year and they

230
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: end up watching the same four hour games that we

231
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: all do. I just feel like they missed so many

232
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: calls with replay anyways, that to me, less replay the better.

233
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm kind of one of those people. The more WePlay.

234
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: If they were accurate with these I would be fine

235
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: with it. But they're like, so you're not a big

236
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: fan of the final thirty seconds of college basketball games? Exactly.

237
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: Definitely not moving on Philip Lindsay, who had risk surgery.

238
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: Right now, there's a report that he won't be ready

239
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: for O t A should be ready for training camp.

240
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, Graham, Everyone including myself,

241
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: was on the Royce Freeman bandwagon at the beginning of

242
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: last season. Okay, Lindsay comes in and his yards per

243
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: cary was ridiculous, insane playmaker, caught around thirty five balls

244
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. Really became maybe the best waiver

245
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: wire pick up in fantasy football last season. And we're

246
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: all high him now. Is there any possibility that this

247
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: is the Royce Freeman year? I we we don't see

248
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: it now. We're all on the Lindsay bandwagon. Is this

249
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: potentially the year that Royce Freeman comes in and puts

250
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: a little dent into those touches, especially with with Lindsay

251
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: expected to miss some time in the off season. I

252
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: hope not. Because Philip Lindsay has the type of running

253
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: style and type of He's just the type of player

254
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: like you just don't want to take off the field.

255
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: And Joe flacc Joe Flacco loves dumping off to his

256
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: running backs um Over the last three years, Flacco has

257
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: targeted his running backs at twenty four percent clip. That's

258
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: the fourth highest rate behind Breeze, Tom Brady and Mitch

259
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: true Biski. Um, Flacco at this point in his career

260
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: can't really throw deep. He's shaky in the intermediate areas

261
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: and he can only dump off. So if Philip Lindsay

262
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: is healthy, I want him on all of my PPR

263
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: fantasy leagues this year. But yeah, this lingering risky shoe.

264
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it sounds very very serious for a

265
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: broken bone to require this level of you know, this

266
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: level of maintenance, and and um, yeah, I just got

267
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: to hope he gets back in time for August, as

268
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: long as he's there for training camp and he's healthy

269
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: for all and we're good. We're all in. We're all in.

270
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: Yesterday did uh Mock Draft Live with Cole Wright and

271
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: the guys, and we were talking about Peter Schrager's mock

272
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: draft and he had Dwayne Haskins going to the Broncos

273
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: at number ten, and I get it. You know, it

274
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: would be more of a dynasty league add because Joe

275
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: Flacco is going to be the starter in twenty nineteen

276
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: as long as he's healthy and the Broncos are competitive,

277
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: But think about Haskins with that big arm. Courtland Sutton

278
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: DeShawn Hamilton's Lindsay who that that that that could be

279
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: a fantasy friendly offensive that happens. I'm just not convinced

280
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: John Elway knows how to scout quarterback. I mean, I mean,

281
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: he was a great quarterback, but he's shown Mike frances

282
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: Sam to think that he's great. Yeah, I don't know,

283
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: by the way, but bron James is this type of

284
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: player too, Like he's he's an incredible athlete, but every

285
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: time he recruits a player, it's like so so. But

286
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: I love Mike Francis, Okay, I love him. But last

287
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: week Evan Silva got mentioned on Francis to Show and

288
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: I believe it twice and Francessa all them Evan Silver

289
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: because Francessa puts an R at the end of every

290
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: word that ends in avowal um. So Evan and I've

291
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: been I've been texting with him and tweeting with him

292
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: hashtag legend. I love to get on Francises Show. I

293
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: can't get on there, and Evan Silver's on there, man,

294
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: that's great for the fantasy community. And then I can't

295
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: you know what I got so and I'm gonna name drop,

296
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: fine whatever, but you know Jim nance is a really

297
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: good friend of mine. He's really close to Francessa. And

298
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: even Jim and Francesa played in fantasy leagues that I

299
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: was in years ago, although it wasn't him running the team.

300
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: I think it was. I think it was maybe Rich

301
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: Acerban or Mark Melussis that was running Frances's team, and

302
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: Dog was in the league too. But even then, with

303
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: Jim telling Mike, hey, let him on the show and talk,

304
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: Francessa would have nothing to do with it. Nothing. The

305
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: only time that I was ever on Frances's show was

306
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: to talk about and I can't remember the guy's name.

307
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: It was a Las Vegas singer, slash Uh. He was.

308
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: He was an entertainer who had passed away and I

309
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: was at one of his final shows and I got

310
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: on talking about that, not even fantasy football, that was it.

311
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: And I'd tell you that was one of the most

312
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: nervous I had ever been, and I've been, you know,

313
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: on air and on TV for like ever. I was

314
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: nervous calling in life to France Let's just show because

315
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: that was like the show that I grew up with,

316
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: Mike and the Mad Dog. It was great. Dude was awesome,

317
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: and you never know what you're gonna get out of

318
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: him too, and just might be in full hyper mode

319
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: and not want any part of you for that whole

320
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: interview and then you're You're done. As much as I

321
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: love him, what is it fun house on Twitter? Dude,

322
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: it's pretty funny. It's pretty funny. Yeah, alright, Moving on,

323
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston wants to play at two hundred fifty pounds

324
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: in nineteen. Now, we're not talking about him becoming the

325
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: next Jered Lorenz, remember him, dude, a hefty lefty. But

326
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: Winston at two fifty and Winston's gonna end up being

327
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: one of those players that a lot of us in

328
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: the fantasy industry are gonna be targeting late because Bruce

329
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: arians factor, offensive minded coach. And if you put Fitzpatrick,

330
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: who is now in Miami, and Jamis Winston's numbers together

331
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: last year, you're looking at one of the one of

332
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: the two or three best quarterbacks in fantasy football. So

333
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: what do you think of Winston wanting to play at

334
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: two fitty and what do you think for his uh

335
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: about his fantasy perspective for twenty nineteen. I'm now pulling

336
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: up his weight on Google so he's two twenty, he's

337
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: listed it to seven. Now he wants to put on

338
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: twenty five pounds for what reason. I don't know that

339
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: he wants to play at two fifty. Man, I have

340
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: no idea. I mean, he does live in Florida, and

341
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good soul food, especially in Tanta,

342
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: good barbecue. So maybe you could do it. But I

343
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: don't see the point. And we know he likes crab legs,

344
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: but those I got, I gotta take shots at jamis

345
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: when I got man, I thought I thought we had

346
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: blown past that for years. So his his quote is

347
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play bigger this year. Uh. He was at

348
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians Charity Golf tournament in Arizona, a solid two fifty.

349
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: It's just about hydration and being at the peak body too.

350
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: That's a big boy like quarterback at six fourths gonna

351
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: be I mean, that's gonna be hard to tackle him,

352
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I can give him twenty if he

353
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: wants them to very quick. I'll give him about eighth

354
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: to tid of mine as well. Man. Uh. Lastly, now

355
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: this one, so we're all gonna be sort of looking

356
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: at what the rams do. Uh In the draft and

357
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: the rest of the off season because there's so many

358
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: questions about Todd Gurley and that that knee uh, and

359
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: we've heard reports that it's an art riddick. Uh. They

360
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: matched the Lions offer to Malcolm Brown, so Brown will

361
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: remain in Los Angeles. And it looks like and I

362
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: haven't talked to c J lately, but it looks like

363
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: the Rams are gonna pass on him and bringing him back.

364
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: So if that happens, I guess that would be a

365
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: good thing for Gurley's fantasy value. The Rams obviously needs

366
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: some depth behind him. But Peter Schreeger, who again we

367
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: focused on his mock draft on Mock Draft Live yesterday,

368
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: had the Rams taking Miles Sanders at number thirty one overall.

369
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: If the Rams draft the running back, Graham, is that

370
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: going to absolutely freak you out when it's time for

371
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: you to draft. Been their first round and girly staring

372
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: at you. I don't think that they'll take a running

373
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: back in their first round. And I didn't think so either.

374
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: I thought that was a little nuts, but and I

375
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: said it, I said so. But they they still have

376
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: a ton of cash left on Gurley's deal, a ton

377
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: of cash at least for this year. Uh. Yeah, they're

378
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: gonna go into two thousand and nineteen with Todd Gurley.

379
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: Is their future back regardless of hisney because they have to.

380
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean they've put so they have such a massive

381
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: stunk cost into that contract. Uh, they don't really have

382
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: another option. Um. It has been a little bit surprised

383
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: to see literally zero buzz around c J. Anderson. Um,

384
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean he I think c J surprise too. Yeah,

385
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: I mean he'll he'll resurface at some point during the summer.

386
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: Obviously there were questions, you know, kind of swirling about

387
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: some of his conditioning problems when he was originally coming

388
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: back into the NFL with the Rams that could have

389
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: laid over. But yeah, I'm a little bit surprised he

390
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: has not gotten any basically any interest or any offers.

391
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: That said though, um yeah, them matching Malcolm Brown's offer

392
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: and basically being immobile um to the rest of the

393
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: free agency running backs is very good sign for Girlies.

394
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: Is for Girlies need at least for this year. Long term,

395
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: I have major major questions, um, and I would be

396
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: very concerned as the Todd Gurley dynasty owner, But for

397
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: this year, I still think we can kind of peck

398
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: him as like a top five or six back. But

399
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: we're I mean, we're all gonna be walking on next

400
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: shows until we see him be be that same explosive

401
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: player again. Maybe it's week one, maybe it's week four,

402
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: maybe it's never again. Um, until then we'll be we'll

403
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: be hoping girlies, right yeah, And uh, we'll be reviewing

404
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: my first mock draft five rounder, which will be on

405
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: NFL dot com later on today, and uh, we'll let

406
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: you know where I have girly and if Graham agrees

407
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: or disagrees with where I am putting him, and kay,

408
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: that's the news. So with the Rob Gronkowski retirement news,

409
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: I thought that gra him and I should go in

410
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: and talk about some of the tight ends that we

411
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: see that are going to be on the rise in

412
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. And I get it, we all had an

413
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: unbelievably difficult time trying to fill that position unless you

414
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: had Kelsey or zach Ertz or or George Kiddle. Last season,

415
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: it was tough. Eric E. Brunn was also fantastic, But

416
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: I would contend that the tight end position is going

417
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: to start to rise back. Okay, And I said this

418
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: with the running back position in the revival a few

419
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: seasons ago. But I want to talk about the tight

420
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: ends that we feel could end up being maybe not elite,

421
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: but very close to elite in nineteen Now, obviously, Kelsey Ertz,

422
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: we're not talking about George Kiddle. Those guys were already

423
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: at the top of their game. One of the players

424
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: that I expect to break out, and he only didn't

425
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: break out this past season because he blew out his knees.

426
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry Hunter, Henry is a guy I have ranked

427
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: fourth among tight ends right now. And in an offense

428
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: that you know you just lose Tyrolle Williams to to

429
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: free agency. Antonio Gates may or may not be back.

430
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: That's not going to really put a dent in Henry's value.

431
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: But this is a guy here that I could see

432
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: easily catching sixty passes in that offense. Yeah, Hunter Henry

433
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,239
Speaker 1: is going to be I think once once everyone kind

434
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: of realized how how ridiculous is ADP is. Right now,

435
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've looked into too much of

436
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: like average draft position early, but Ebron is going in

437
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: like the fifth, sixth, seven. Bron is gonna be a bust.

438
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a bust if if you're taking him

439
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: that in that high and then Hunter Henry is going

440
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: in like the eighth or ninth. Rent, I mean, we're

441
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: obviously baking in some touchdown aggression with Ebron in that

442
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: some some yeah, for sure, some uh, And you're getting

443
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: a basically similarly upside in terms of upside, You're getting

444
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: a similar talented I think player, uh like four rounds

445
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: cheaper and a better offense. Yeah, yeah, dude, give me that.

446
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: I'm all in on him. I'm also all in on O. J. Howard. Okay,

447
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: targets are gonna be available. De Sean Jackson was traded

448
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia. Adam Humphreys went to the Tennessee Titans. You've

449
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: got Mike Evans. You've got Chris Godwin, who I love

450
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: but I loved last year and I love even more now.

451
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean, we could talk about him on another show.

452
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: But dude, I'm digging on him. I'm trying to get

453
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: him in every draft. I have him in my Dynasty League.

454
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: Get you up. But O J. Howard, and he showed

455
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: flashes last season, guys, before he went down with the injury.

456
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: He started to look like he was gonna be one

457
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 1: of those top five tight ends. The key, the key

458
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: to targeting these tight ends before they break out is

459
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: I think in terms of looking into their efficiency based

460
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: on like how they've played on their limited snaps. So

461
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: over the past three seasons, O J. Howard is fourth

462
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: in yards game per route run, behind Rob Gronkowski, George Kittle,

463
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: and Travis Kelsey. Hunter Company Hunter Henry is fifth behind

464
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: O J. Howard, just marginally behind a Hunter Henry or

465
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: excuse me, phind O J. Howard. Both of those guys

466
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: are gonna be hyped up, especially Henry once, like I said,

467
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: people are gonna realize his ADP is insane and start

468
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: hammering that. Um I I think I might be a

469
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: little bit priced on O. J. Howard this year, though,

470
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, because the Bucks have I mean, they've

471
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: got too fantastic receivers and Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.

472
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: Um yes, Bruce arians has never had a tight end

473
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: of O J. Howard's caliber, but still they have two

474
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: borderline alpha receivers there. And I think the Bucks will

475
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: be more competitive this year, and if they're throwing less

476
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: that might mean fewer targets. I think Howard is probably

477
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: priced somewhat efficiently. Um, but again, like I come back,

478
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: that's like what I'd rather have O. J. Howard in

479
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: the sixth or target Hunter Henry in the eighth or ninth.

480
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: And I well, I mean that's yeah, dude, I mean,

481
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, it's just a pricing it's a

482
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: pricing problem, and and Hunter going you know, behind, And

483
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: I love O. J. Howard, but behind Howard and Ibron

484
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: just doesn't make any sense to me at all. Evan

485
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 1: Ingram for the New York Giants. We all expect him

486
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: to see an upticking targets in twenty nineteen with the

487
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: departure of Odeo Beckham Jr. He is in my top six.

488
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: He's the guy who broke out as a rookie and

489
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: then last season didn't really start producing on our consistent

490
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: basis until the end of So let's go with JA

491
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: got hurt. Let's go through and so you've got Kelsey,

492
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: Art's Kittle, who's five for you, Howard, and then you've

493
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: got Ingram at six six, and then I've got Ebron.

494
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: I just like, I think you can make a case

495
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: for Henry over Ebron too. Like, if if we get

496
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: a clean. Yeah, I have a Overbron. We kind of

497
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: have a clean bill of health on Henry. I mean

498
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: he came back in the playoffs and he wasn't a factor,

499
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: but he played, um, which is obviously a great sign.

500
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: I think I don't will be interesting. I might end

501
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: up putting Henry over Howard to when it also when Yeah,

502
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: I have Henry over Howard right now as well. And dude,

503
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: like I always talk about it, every year there's guys

504
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: who have the magical season right it's the Oh my goodness,

505
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: this guy was tremendous. He was better than we all

506
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna be. Ibron will never have a

507
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: better season than he had from a fantasy perspective last season.

508
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: Fourteen total touchdownce Okay, I think that's like third or

509
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: fourth all time among tight ends in single season touchdowns scored.

510
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: And uh like Devin Functions is going to come in

511
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: and take some of the red zone opportunities and Functions

512
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: as a guy that that Frank Wright likes clearly um

513
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: that they brought him in on a one year, proved

514
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: deal and he's still the young player, a guy who's

515
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: gonna be utilized I believe by Andrew Luck and take

516
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: some of the Bron's targets away, and then you got

517
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle back for an entire season. We would expect.

518
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: I do think though that the bit about Doyle, what

519
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: would concern me about like Ebron not I mean, obviously

520
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: a touchdowns regress, He's not going to score fourteen, but

521
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: he saw a hundred in Tenbron saw a hundred in

522
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: ten targets last year. Like people, I think people are

523
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: kind of clossing over that Doyle underwent another hip surgery

524
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: this offseason. He's gonna be limited for o t a s.

525
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: He's apparently might even be sideline to training camp. What

526
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: are the chances that Doyle struggles through injuries again? You

527
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: know that's very possible, and we're back looking at Bron

528
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: getting targets. That's something that you have to keep tabs.

529
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: Of course, he's not going to score the insane touchdowns again.

530
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: One of those touchdowns too, wasn't it like on a

531
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: weird rushing touchdown touchdown maybe had thirteen touchdown catches and

532
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: then you had the rushing touchdown there too, which probably

533
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: made a lot of fantasy owners who had the Colts

534
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: running back at the time salty, right, Um other tight

535
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: ends that I like that you could probably get dirt

536
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: cheap in your drafts. Now, clearly we're gonna be talking

537
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: about fan, we're gonna be talking about Hackins, and we're

538
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about our Smith. We don't know where

539
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: they're going to go, and I don't know that they're

540
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: gonna be very valuable in redrafts. It depends on where

541
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: they land. Obviously, Uh, if they go to Green Bay.

542
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: If one of them goes to Green Bay, you're behind

543
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham at least at this point, So that could

544
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: be sort of a one year wait and say that's right,

545
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: Graham is off the roster. Uh. So like if if

546
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: one of these guys goes to say, you know, the

547
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, who could you know use the tight end

548
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: they signed Tyler Croft? But okay, whatever, the Jaguars could

549
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: use the tight end as well. If one of these

550
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: guys gets put in a position where they can see

551
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: targets and opportunities right away, then uh, clearly they're going

552
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: to be more valuable in redrafts. But some of the

553
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: players that I have, Uh, clearly you've got to be

554
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: looking at vance McDonald's right, because Pittsburgh's lost Levian Bell,

555
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: They've lost Antonio Brown or traded him, so he's gonna

556
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: see potentially more opportunities. We saw some flashes from from

557
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: Chris Herndon last season for the Jets, right uh. And

558
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: Sam Donald has a full year under his belt now

559
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: as an NFL starter, so that's big and a couple

560
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: of deep ones. You know, we're gonna talk about La

561
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: cost but we'll see what the Patriots do. But what

562
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: about Dallas Goddard. I mean, I get it like there

563
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: may not be enough targets to go around because they

564
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: have so many weapons, but he showed some flashes in

565
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: his rookie campaign. Yeah, the only problem. That's the only

566
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: problem is now they have Deshan Jackson, Alicehan, Jefferies healthy.

567
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz is a machine. Um. I think if we

568
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: want to wrap it up on a really interesting conversation

569
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: David and joking, he's always been kind of hyped up

570
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: and right now, like there's just not enough opportunity for

571
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: me to be super interested in drafting him, like the

572
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: seventh eighth round where he's going. Um, once Baker Mayfield

573
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: took over. Yeah, once Baker Maker Mayfield took over as

574
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: a starter in Joku average only four point six targets

575
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: per game. Now they've added Odell Beckham Jr. He's kind

576
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: of good. Um again, like it comes down to like

577
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: a pricing inefficiency right now, Like running backs and receivers

578
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: buy and large right now in ADP or priced very efficiently.

579
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: But I mean, these tight ends right now are it's

580
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: it's it's shaky because Ingram's I think Ingram's too low.

581
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: I think I just can't I can't believe in Joker's

582
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: going that high. Like he's a double digit round tight

583
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: end right now, honestly, Like and Joko he finished US

584
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: at top ten titan last season. But the tight end

585
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: position sucks terrible. People are buying in on the hype

586
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: of the Browns. That's essentially what it comes down to.

587
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I again it but like you have, like honestly,

588
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: like let's let's look at their offense. Okay, who's the

589
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: first option? We would Odell Beckham Jr. Who's the second option?

590
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: Maybe it's Nick Chubb. Who's the third option, Maybe it's

591
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: Jarvis Henry and then Kareem hunt Will will eventually be

592
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: on the roster too. I mean, and Jokers like the

593
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: fourth option in that offense right now. Yeah, it's seventh

594
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: eight th seven, way too high, way too high. Yeah,

595
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: that that's what that was. I think kind of the

596
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: flag I wanted to put on this is like, I'm

597
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: not really entirely sure what people are expecting right now

598
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: in terms of early ADP is way too early to

599
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: make any fair assumptions. But yeah, and joke, who is

600
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,239
Speaker 1: is going to go? Dude, I am waiting on tight end.

601
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm waiting a quarterback. It's something I've always done. Unless

602
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: I can get a Hunter Henry somewhere, like that's a

603
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: Steel or an R. J. Howard or an Evan Ingram,

604
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna wait. I'm just gonna wait on that position.

605
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: And I think it will get deeper with this incoming

606
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: draft class. Obviously, with the three guys we've mentioned, it

607
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: will get younger, and hopefully it'll get deeper and better

608
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: from a fantasy respective over the next couple of years.

609
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: So let's move on from the tight end position to

610
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: my mock draft, and I do these starting right after

611
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: free agency every month leading up into the start of

612
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: the regular season. Uh as we get deeper, I do

613
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: ten rounds right now, I'm doing five rounds and that's

614
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: gonna be released on NFL dot com shortly. So I

615
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: wanted to have Graham sort of like you're you're the professor, man,

616
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: You're like the teacher. You're gonna you're gonna say, here's

617
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: the gold star. I like this pick, or you're gonna

618
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: hit me with a ruler and think, hey, you're you're

619
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: misbehaving with this one. I don't know where you're coming

620
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: out now. My top five guys say kwan Zeke, Kimara,

621
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: CMC and Girly. And this is a PPR league because

622
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: is there any anybody playing standard anymore? He would he

623
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: would come over here and have something to do. He

624
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: PPR PPR Standard. That's yeah, that's right. That's my top

625
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: that's my top five. My first seven picks are running Actus,

626
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon Levi on Bell at six and seven, New

627
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,719
Speaker 1: Copins at eight, Davante Adams at nine, and then Julio

628
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: Jones at ten. What say you, Graham? Yeah? The top

629
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: six this year is so easy. I mean you can

630
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean, do you think I have Bell too low?

631
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: I have him at seven. That's I've seen people put

632
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: him at three or four, and I think that's too

633
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: I I've had I have Bell at seven, okay, well,

634
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: and after Gordon I have I don't have um, I

635
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: have Kamara now at two with with Ingram for sure

636
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: out but obviously, I mean you could make the case

637
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: for Zeke even at one. At this point, du Um,

638
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: the more of the contentious point I think I have.

639
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: If anything in this first round is Julio at ten,

640
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to be much higher on juju

641
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: than it would have seemed. I'm gonna be higher on

642
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: ju so so juju. Then your rankings will be ahead

643
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: of Julio Jones. He will be ahead of Julio You

644
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: will not be ahead of Michael Thomas, who you have

645
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: going at to the first pick of the second round.

646
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: Who you get too in a sick juju as a

647
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: first rounder for you? Border one? Wow? Yeah, I mean

648
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: look the Steeler are I get it? I get it, dude.

649
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean he was the most past heavy offense in

650
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: the NFL. Uh, Antonio Brown is gone, Levy on Bella's conu. Yeah,

651
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: unless they draft like Hackim Butler or something in the

652
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: first round. Um, James Washington introduced in this Schusters, I

653
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: mean it's a fine in Monk Croof. That's a fine trio,

654
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: but Juju is by far the best player of that trio.

655
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: And with moncriefinte, they'll be able to move him into

656
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: the slot. Juju into this lot more like he was

657
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: in the past. Yeah, I think he's gonna go nuts

658
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: this year. And hey, look he's I wouldn't be shocked.

659
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: He's only twenty three. I know, I know he's young. Dudes,

660
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: I love him. I love on and off the field.

661
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: I love him. Yeah, and I'd love to see him succeed.

662
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: I have it Hopkins, Adams, Um, Michael Thomas j at

663
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: four and then oh b j okay five or six,

664
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: but keep going, please. So second round starts with Michael Thomas,

665
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: and you're gonna see this guy. So the first round

666
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: is gonna be a lot of running backs, a lot

667
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: of running back. Second round you're gonna see more wide

668
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: receivers sprinkled in. And some of these wide receivers were

669
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: first round picks last year. But to me, because I'm

670
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: a running backstruth or, I gotta go with the running

671
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: back position because I the revival is here, my friends.

672
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: So I've got Thomas and I've got Joe Mixon, who

673
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: was six in touches last year running among running back

674
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: tight was tremendous, and I think the arrow is still

675
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: pointing up for him. I mean, was twenty two years old. Uh.

676
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: I've got James Conner at overall, the third pick in

677
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: the second round, and I mean we're talking about a

678
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: guy who was one of the better runners in terms

679
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: of yards after contact. He had fifty five catches despite

680
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: the fact that he missed three games last season. He

681
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: isn't all around fantasy superstar, and he was so last season,

682
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: putting up equal or better numbers than Levian builded in

683
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: A two thousand and seventeen in his final year. I

684
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: have O. B J next at number fourteen, so he's

685
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: obviously a wide receiver one. Then I've got Antonio Brown,

686
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: first time in a long time that AB is not

687
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: in my first round. And um, maybe why I blocked

688
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: me on Twitter, not sure, but I just don't. I

689
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: don't believe in him as much as I did with

690
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders. Uh. And Derek carth throwing him with

691
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: the football now at sixty nine Tyreek Hill and and honestly,

692
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: we know the stories out there that are going around.

693
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what the deal is. Nobody knows what

694
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: the deal is yet, and until we get some more

695
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: concrete reporting about what exactly happened and if their potentially

696
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: could be uh some some team or or or league discipline,

697
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: he is where he is for me. And then I've

698
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: got Juju, which obviously you disagree with Kelsey. The first

699
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: tight end coming off the board at eighteen, Nick Chubb

700
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: at nineteen, Mike Evans, Yeah, Juju, I think would slide

701
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: up my board for sure, and I probably would take

702
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: Beckham over Connor and Mixing. Um. I understand though obviously

703
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: both of those players are potential workhorses. You could score

704
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: double digit touchdowns. But I just I mean, O b J,

705
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: excuse me, O b J with with Baker Mayfield is

706
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: too too sexy for me to pass up Um in

707
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: that early second round range. This is I mean, it's

708
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: just loaded the top thirty. So the the one player

709
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: that I that I sort of well, there was two

710
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the second round. So Nick Chubb,

711
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: when he was the featured back for the Browns last year,

712
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: he was averaging right around sixteen and a half PPR

713
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: points per game and he wasn't catching a ton of

714
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: passes out of the backfield. This guy is a monster. Okay,

715
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: he is an absolute beast. He was eighth in yards

716
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: after contact him on running backs. He's awesome. Do you

717
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: think the second round is too high for Nick Chubb?

718
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: Considering Cream Hunt will come back after nine games, assuming

719
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: the Browns have a BI somewhere and I'm gonna pound

720
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: this table. Um, we we don't know where Kareem Hunt

721
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: is at in terms of his like where he's coming back.

722
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to He's gonna be suspended for half

723
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: the year. Um, There's just so much that can change

724
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: in nine weeks. I'm just not hanging my hat on

725
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: Cream Hunt coming in and being an impact player year one,

726
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: coming off of suspension with a incredible offensive climate, surrounded

727
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: you know by amazing players, including Nick Chubb. Um, it's

728
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: not going to concern me enough to take to not

729
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: take Nick Chubb in the first first couple of rounds.

730
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: I think, if anything, you can protect yourself from the

731
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 1: downside though, because I inc you can make the argument

732
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: for Connor and Nixon over chubbed just because they have

733
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: they have they have locked in roles. But I still

734
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: at the same time, like the Browns. That Brown's offense

735
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: could seriously be one of the three best in the

736
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: NFL this year, and Nick Chubb could score twelve touchdowns

737
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: and Mike Evans I have closing out the second round, uh,

738
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: coming off a very solid season. I believe he was

739
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: third yards along wide receivers and Deshan Jackson, Adam Hunh

740
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: Freeze no longer than mixing Bruce Arians. Somehow, Mike Evans

741
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: has gone from from underrated to overrated to extremely underrated,

742
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: and it's in He's had such a weird career. He

743
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: was underrated his first year, and then he was over

744
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: in the second year, and then he's gone back to

745
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: being just incredibly underrated. And again we're about to get

746
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: to this third round here, but might the turn of

747
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: receivers here. We haven't talked about Mike Evans, we just did.

748
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: But yeah, we haven' talked about Adam Fling. We have

749
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: talked about Keen Nowen. We haven't talked about H. J.

750
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: Creane and all these guys are our third round pick.

751
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: So moving into the third round. Top of the third round,

752
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: I have a David Johnson and I want to get

753
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: your thoughts on David Johnson. So Cliff Kingsbury comes in. Okay,

754
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: this is a past first coach. Okay, he is going

755
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: to throw it if you can throw. And I'm excited

756
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: if they dropped Kyler Murray. I don't know where Josh

757
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: Rosen would end up. But boy, I'm telling you, if

758
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: Murray goes to Arizona and ends up being the Week

759
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: one starter, you're gonna hear me screaming from the mountaintops.

760
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: Get this guy on your fantasy team. Get him. Not

761
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: gonna cost you a lot, Get him. Okay, get him. Now.

762
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: Kingsbury did not target his running backs a lot when

763
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: he was in college. Yeah, that's actually he did. And

764
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: that's my biggest point. I thought he his his the

765
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: most receptions that one of his running backs had, And

766
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: I have to go back and look at this. The

767
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: Believer was in like the like maybe like thirties, so

768
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: they didn't have didn't have any bulk producers. They just

769
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: had as a team. They were tenth among all UM

770
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: all college football teams last year. They were tenth among

771
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: all the running backs were tenth among all teams in

772
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: receptions last year. Um, excuse me. Over the last three

773
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: years in Kingsbury's tenure, Uman Kegan Abdu, who works down

774
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 1: in the research department. Over the next stats. He pulled

775
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: some pretty cool contexts from Sports Info Solutions dashboards and

776
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: said that Texas Tech targeted a running back out of

777
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: the backfield on about eight percent of plays on first

778
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: down last year. That was the sixth highest rate in

779
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. Or excuse me, in college. In college, I

780
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: always say that, but they're the most catches a running back.

781
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: Ad owner Kingsbury was only forty one, right, so they

782
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: didn't have a bulk, a single running back bulking up

783
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: all of those stats, but as a team, they still

784
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: targeted running backs pretty heavily. This is a team to

785
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: fabs like their offensive line sucks, right, That's not me.

786
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: That's why I don't have him in the top twenty.

787
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 1: But you could take this on the backside is smart coaches,

788
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: which sorry Mike mc you're not. I mean, obviously Mike

789
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: McCoy's and I smart coach if you have a bad

790
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: offensive line. The number one thing I think teams should

791
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: do more often, and good teams do do this is

792
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: they target their running backs in first and second down

793
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. Guess what of Johnson can do.

794
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 1: I'm buying a DJ bounce back in a big way.

795
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: So the third round, is he a second rounder for you?

796
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: He's not a second rounder in a ten team league

797
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: because I would still have Chub and Connor and Mixing

798
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: ahead of him. Um, but he is a back end

799
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 1: second rounder in a twelve team league for me. And

800
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: I think if they do, if they do draft Kyler Murray, yeah,

801
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of it's kind of gangbusters. I think

802
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: you could still start even pushing them up even more. Um.

803
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: The biggest hurdle I see though, is like I think

804
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: you can make an argument for Travis Kelsey is the

805
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: top fifteen pick this year, and I could not draft

806
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: DJ over Travis Kelsey at any point ever. Now I

807
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: have Kelsey ahead of ahead of DJ, I have Kelsey

808
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: at but no. But my point was that they do

809
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 1: draft Murray, I think that's his ceiling. I think that's

810
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: I could not go any further drafting DJ, any further

811
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: than than that than around Kelsey. So now we're we're

812
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: going to get into some of the wide receivers you mentioned.

813
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: And this this is interesting to me. Now now we're

814
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: doing ten team leagues because that's standard on NFL dot

815
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: com But if you decide that you want to go

816
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: running back running back, you can easily still get a

817
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: very good number one wide receiver UH in the third round.

818
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling at twenty two, Keenan Allen at twenty three.

819
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: I've got a Green at twenty six, Marie Cooper at

820
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: twenty seven, Digs at eight. UH. There's a lot of

821
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: talent at the wide receiver position in that third round

822
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: for fantasy owners. I've also got Dalvin Cook coming off

823
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: the board. I mean Latavious Mariason no longer. They're no

824
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: competition for carries. Depending on what they do in the draft,

825
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: we'll see, but he's risk reward. If he can stay healthy,

826
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook could be an easy cinch top ten fantasy

827
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: running back. I've got Zachert's coming off the board at

828
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: number twenty five as the second tight end behind Kelsey. Yeah. Again,

829
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: this is just the top thirty. Top forty is extremely

830
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: extremely loaded this year. I think the interesting one though

831
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: for me is Cooper versus Diggs. Um. Yeah, that's that's

832
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: really That's really where I'm wearing. I'm wearing a Cowboys

833
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 1: T shirt. I think I think that'll be the tough

834
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: call because I've kind of reversed chorus on Cooper. Um,

835
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: I'm we just went on this Mike Evan's talk. But

836
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,760
Speaker 1: like Cooper has gone from being overrated, I think somehow

837
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: being underrated again now with Dallas, even though he just

838
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: exploded based on my Twitter mentions every time I talked

839
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: about him, are Cooper positively? People don't like it? A

840
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: lot of cowboy haters out there, man, I know that, Hey,

841
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: he averaged almost nine targets and six catches a game

842
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: when he went to Dallas last season. Yeah, the ceiling

843
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: is pretty pretty huge for him. But Stefan Diggs has

844
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 1: always been my guy, Like every time, dude, I've loved

845
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: Diggs ever since he came out of school. Every time

846
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: on the every time he's on the field, He's just

847
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: like a low end, just solid receiver, one for for PPR.

848
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: So you're going Digs over Cooper? Are you going Diggs

849
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: over Theeeling? No? I can't go Digs over Ceeling. Okay,

850
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: I think Dick. I think Theelan's role is just slightly

851
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: slightly better. He saw more targets and slightly more areards.

852
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: But Digs is just me so explosive down field. Um,

853
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 1: digs versus Cooper that that's a tough one. Yeah, final

854
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: two picks in the round. And I want to get

855
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Leonard four Nette and then Philip Lindsay

856
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: I have at the bottom of the round. But four

857
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: net when he played last season and it was sparingly

858
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: because he was injured and you know, he got suspended

859
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: for a game most most of the most of the

860
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: time he was giving you a nice stat line. Uh,

861
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: and I had two or three twenty point performances in

862
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: PPR leagues, was getting the opportunities that he had gotten

863
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: in his rookie season when he put up such good numbers.

864
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: Is this a safe spot for four net? Too high

865
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: for you? Too low? He's risk reward Like he's the

866
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: same thing as Dalvin Cook. He could end up being

867
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: the top ten running back or he could end up

868
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: missing eight games and driving you nuts. Well, I don't

869
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: like buying players without like clearly Leonard Fournett has some

870
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: sort of issue going on with his foot ankle. I

871
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: do not like buying players at cost when risk and

872
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: basically you're you're we're getting a discount on Leonard Fournette

873
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: right now. There his his injury concerns are priced end

874
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: and when his when a player's injury concerns are priced

875
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: end and we have upside. Like Leonard Fournets, thunder four

876
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: nets average five touches per game with the Jags, he

877
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: has double digit touchdown appeal. Their offensive line will be

878
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 1: healthy again because they fell apart last year. We're now

879
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: getting a humongous discount on a player that last year

880
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: we all viewed as an RB one. Um. That is

881
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: always something I want to attack. I want to attack

882
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: players that were formally that we formally thought because of

883
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: the right reasons, we formally thought he was an RB

884
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 1: one and now he's being drafted as a mid tier

885
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: RB two. Those arbitrage situations where you can buy low

886
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: on a player that we all loved just because I mean,

887
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: there are formidable injury concerns. They're they're they're they're formidable,

888
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: and they're they're real. That said, I mean, this is

889
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: a humongous discount on a player that we're expecting to

890
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: be a workhorse for next year because the Jags, again,

891
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:45,959
Speaker 1: it's the same thing as girls the sunk cost theory.

892
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: Sure under four net probably isn't what they expected. Todd Gurley,

893
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: his knee is probably not any better off than it's not.

894
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound good. These teams have so much invested

895
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: in these backs, and they've got to get him on

896
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: the field and gotta get them touches and make this

897
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: make sense. And Leonard Fournett is in the third year

898
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: of his rookie deal. The jack just got Nick Foles,

899
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 1: their offensive lines healthy. Yeah, I'm back in on four

900
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: Nett too. So for Nett would go even a little

901
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: higher than this, it sounds like it sounds like I

902
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: don't know. Again, I wouldn't take him over Digs and Cooper.

903
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: So it's it's kind of like you're, you're, you're, you

904
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: have him in the right spot. It's just I would

905
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: It's the same argument as DJ's kind of like, once

906
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: he gets to a certain point, I would be blocked

907
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: out from taking him. But it is a humongous, humongous discount.

908
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: Moving in around four. Finally Patrick Mahomes comes off the board.

909
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: I have him going at number thirty nine. Overall, Sorry, dudes,

910
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: I get it coming off the greatest so much. I

911
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: don't care. Yeah, he's gonna go first round, he may

912
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: go first overall, I'm not doing it. I don't care

913
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: quarterback is too deep. I've got mark Ingram leading the

914
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: round off and I love the move to Baltimore, featured

915
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: back run, heavy offense, guy who can catch the ball

916
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: out of the backfield as well. Love Ingram in Baltimore.

917
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 1: Then I've got t Y Hilton, Sony Michelle, Damian Williams.

918
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: Want to get your thoughts on him, Aaron Jones, Robert Woods,

919
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay, and I moved Julian Edelman up so right

920
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: now he's a fourth rounder for me. Mahomes and then

921
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup and I want to get your thoughts on

922
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: Cup as well, because people think I'm maybe a little

923
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: too high on him coming off the A c L.

924
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: But I don't care. I love this dude. So let's

925
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: start off with Damien Williams at number thirty four overall.

926
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: Kansas City gave him the reins to that backfield at

927
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: the end of last season and he was tremendous. The

928
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: downside is sample size was small. Sample size are small.

929
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: They did get Carlos Hide, but Hid as such an

930
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: atrocious receiver since he entered the league. Hide as like

931
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: dead last and yards per target, dead last and yards

932
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: per reception among running backs. There was a year that

933
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: I think he had fifty nine catches, but I mean

934
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: he was targeted a ton out of the backfield. I

935
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: mean he was he was the offense there for San Francisco.

936
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: He's bought it. He's bottom five or bottom six and

937
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 1: yards after yards after the catch to perception in that span.

938
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: Damie Williams is a fantastic receiver. He flash, yes last,

939
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: huge receipting ability. That was the biggest thing I thought

940
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs would miss losing Cream Hunt is Creme. Hunt

941
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: was a fantastic receiver, and I was like, you know,

942
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: Damon Williams can probably provide, uh, most of what Kareem

943
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: Hunt provides on the ground, but he really really excelled

944
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: as a receiver. Um. Again though it's Damian Williams. Uh,

945
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: it's here's being a player. You're buying a player on

946
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: a very short sample size. So so so here's and

947
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, I honestly think that Carlos Hyde. I wouldn't

948
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: be surprised if Hyden ended up taking the job at

949
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 1: some point, but he's not as good of a pass catcher.

950
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: And Andy Reid likes his running backs to be versatile, right,

951
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: So let's go back to Philadelphia. Hell, I'll go back

952
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: to Douce Staley. Okay, I'll go back to Brian Westbrook,

953
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: and we'll go back to Shady. And then let's take

954
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,479
Speaker 1: a look at what happened in Kansas City with Kareem

955
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 1: Hunt before the madness. That guy was a fantasy star.

956
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: You put a running back and Andy Reid's offense, and

957
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: that guy nine times out of ten is going to

958
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: produce for you. Okay. With that being said, small sample size,

959
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: Damian Williams has never really had to carry the full

960
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: load of a ackfield as an NFL player, so there

961
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: are some question marks, but I think the opportunities are there.

962
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: And I'm also interested to see if the Chiefs go

963
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: after running back in the draft as well. That could

964
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: drop Damian Williams stock somewhat right. I mean, the thing

965
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: I come back to with Williams though, is Okay, let's say, Hi,

966
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: it does take ten carries away from him, right, If

967
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: we still get Damian Williams with four or five six

968
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: targets per game, twelve fifteen carries, that's he's going to

969
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: be a solid carby two and no doubt, no doubt.

970
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodger, I'm sorry. Aaron Jones at number thirty five,

971
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: and I've cooled on him a little bit. I loved

972
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,479
Speaker 1: him last year, but now we hear the talk about

973
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 1: a potential committee with Jamal Williams, which I don't like. Um,

974
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: what's your taking Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones on a per

975
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: carry basis has been one of the most awesome. He's

976
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: been one of the most efficient running backs in the

977
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: NFL over the last couple of years. I find it

978
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: hysterical that the Packers still keep talking themselves and Williams

979
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 1: over Aaron Jones. And it's not like it's McCarthy there anymore.

980
00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, McCarthy's brain linked into la floor,

981
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: Like no, just give Aaron Jones the ball eighteen times

982
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: a game. I always I always have kind of like

983
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: a I don't know my BS filter on when coaches

984
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: start talking about running back by committees in like March

985
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: and in April, especially when they don't make any sense,

986
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: and Aaron Jones first. Jamal Williams does not make any sense.

987
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has even come out and vouched for Aaron Jones. Um,

988
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 1: I'm buying Aaron Jones low and dynasty. Um. I think

989
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: he still has like legitimate top twelve potential in this

990
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 1: offense attached to Aaron Rodgers. Um. That said, we also

991
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: can't discount the fact that the Packers, for whatever reason,

992
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: love playing Jamal Wills. Yeah, and Williams was good at

993
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: the end of last season, but he is not the

994
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: playmaker that Aaron Jones is. As I mentioned, I closed

995
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: my fourth round with Cooper Cup and that could increased

996
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: decreased depending on the news. Uh with his with his

997
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: torn a c L He's expected to be back in

998
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: time for training camp. I just remember I had Cup

999
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 1: last season. He was He's got eighty catch potential. He

1000
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 1: was on pace for twelve touchdowns. And you know, I

1001
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: get I've got Robert Woods ahead of him, and I've

1002
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 1: got Brandon I have like three Rams running backs in

1003
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: like seven picks. I was gonna say, you have the

1004
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: Rams receivers ranked correctly because I have it the same

1005
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: way I have Woods, Cup and Cooks. But they're I mean,

1006
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: it's barely negligible. I just I love Cooper Cup man.

1007
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: I liked him, like him coming out of college. It

1008
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: didn't think he was gonna make that big of him

1009
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: impact as a rookie. Last year started to show Flashes,

1010
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: had a fight through the knee, eventually succumbed to knee injury.

1011
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: If there's any setbacks, clearly he's gonna move down. But

1012
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: I still have Cooper Cup as a top forty pick.

1013
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: Moving on to round five, this is where we're gonna

1014
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: get a lot of running backs, a lot of running backs.

1015
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: I start off the round with George Kittle. I believe

1016
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: that's right around where you're gonna be taking him coming

1017
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: off of a historic season. I mean, he had the

1018
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: most receiving yards in a single season of any tight

1019
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: end in the National Football League. Had he not done that,

1020
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey would have proked the record. Uh. Last season

1021
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: that I mentioned Brandon Cooks. Then I've got a run

1022
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 1: on running backs here, guys, I've got and and I'm

1023
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: I'm really like to hear your opinion on where I

1024
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: have these guys ranked. Uh. I love carry on Johnson

1025
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: once he sort of took over as the guy in Detroit,

1026
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: average seventeen touches seventeen PPR points per game over his

1027
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: final five games before he went down with the injury.

1028
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,439
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman, I'm all over the place, like I want

1029
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: to rank him higher, but I can't. I don't know why.

1030
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: I just can't. No more Tevin Coleman. You know, Smith

1031
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: is in the mix there. I have him coming off

1032
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: the board in the middle of the fifth round. Then

1033
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: I've got Chris Carson. I'm a little worried about Rachade

1034
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: Penny Marlon Mack who his value went up because the

1035
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 1: Colts didn't do anything at the running back position. And

1036
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: you wonder if they're going to draft the running back

1037
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 1: because they drafted two last year. So we'll see James

1038
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: White and he could move up like James White could

1039
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: end up going into the fourth round for me, depending

1040
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: on what the Patriots do or don't do for the

1041
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: rest of the off season. Derrick Henry at number forty eight,

1042
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 1: Trek Cohen at forty nine. And also we have to

1043
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: figure out what the deal is with the Jordan Howard

1044
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: situation because I can't see them keeping him after they

1045
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: signed like Davis and then Kenyan Drake. Uh the running

1046
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: back everyone loves to hate who's really talented. But calebliges

1047
00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: there and I don't know if they're gonna give him

1048
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, eighteen twenty times a game, he's

1049
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: uh he closes out my my, my top fifty. Yeah,

1050
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: the biggest one I want. I think we should spend

1051
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 1: some time on his DeVonta Freeman M Last year he

1052
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: dealt with a knee injury, a foot injury, and a

1053
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: groin injury. Landed on I R with that groin injury.

1054
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: Still only twenty seven years old, and we have seen again,

1055
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: we have seen him be a back end RB one

1056
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: when he's fully healthy. It's the same conversation we just

1057
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: had about Leonard Tornette. We are getting a player at

1058
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: a discount off of injury. Um, but he's at I

1059
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: mean people are like that injury discount is priced in.

1060
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: You're you're basically not assuming any risk. You're not assuming

1061
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: much more risk by drafting Leonard Fournett at the end

1062
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: of the third round, there's not much risk and drafting

1063
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman fourth round. You think you think I have him?

1064
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: I think if we get a clean bill of health, yes,

1065
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: which I'm waiting for bay June. Again, he did just

1066
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 1: come off I mean knee, foot and groin injuries. Um.

1067
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: But again twenty seven years old and no Heavin Coleman um.

1068
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: I think although you do hear them talking about Edo

1069
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: Smith kind of coming in and getting his share. I mean, yeah,

1070
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 1: Edo Smith will get his touches. DeVonta m is not

1071
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 1: a work course. He's not gonna play the snaps fabs

1072
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:15,239
Speaker 1: like like Bell does. But yeah, I think if here,

1073
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,960
Speaker 1: I think, if he's right, I could take him over um,

1074
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: pretty much everyone you have in front of him except Man.

1075
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: I would put him as high as like the early

1076
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: early into the fourth round, like I could. I got draft,

1077
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: I would draft so over Ingram, over Sony Michelle. I

1078
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I would draft a vont Freeman over

1079
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: mark Ingram, t Y Hilton, and Sony Michelle if we

1080
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: knew DeVonta Freeman was healthy. It seems like so long

1081
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 1: ago that Freeman was the number one running back in

1082
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy foot That was the craziest year ever because everyone

1083
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: got hurt. Everyone dinning backs died. This was the top

1084
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 1: ten guys Freeman, Lamar Miller, Doug Martin, Latavius Murray, mark Ingram,

1085
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory who just got cut by the Bills, Chris

1086
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: Ivey was a top ten for the Jets. For the Jets,

1087
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: uh and uh Sandy McCoy. It's it's it's ridiculous and

1088
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: then with Johnson came in, that was that was when

1089
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: David Johnson started to see that rise in value. And

1090
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 1: then following year, that was the year DJ went off. Right.

1091
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 1: DJ was not a starting player until the final few

1092
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: a few games. Holy, you're right, Oh my god. Chris

1093
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: Ivery was the RB eleven that year. Yeah, dude, that's insane, right, yeah,

1094
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,439
Speaker 1: it's it's it's crazy, man. He he was up thirty,

1095
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 1: he was he was very good. Uh, well you have

1096
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: come along, yes, yes, exactly. So I closed it out

1097
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: with Kenyan Drake. And Kenyan Drake was a guy that

1098
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 1: I didn't like last year because I knew and I

1099
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: think a lot of us did that Frank Gore was

1100
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: going to take touches no matter what you talk about

1101
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: with his age, he's not He's not your typical thirty

1102
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 1: four thirty five year old running back which was last season.

1103
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: Now he's going to be uh coming into that. Boy,

1104
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: that's that's an old backfield with McCoy and Gore. And

1105
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm afraid of McCoy's value. Uh. And I was before

1106
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 1: they signed Frank Gore. But Kenyan Drake he's the best

1107
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: offensive weapon they have in Miami right now? Am I

1108
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: am I wrong. Well, the Miami Miami is a super

1109
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 1: super interesting case study right now because it does seem

1110
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: like they're actually doing the right thing and tearing this thing,

1111
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: tearing it down and kind of rebuilding and playing for

1112
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: two and next year. UM yeah, I would be very

1113
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: surprised if Miami invests again heavily into their backfield this offseason,

1114
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: considering their rebuilding, considering there's now trying to sit. I mean,

1115
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 1: they have hunt like literally over a hundred million dollars

1116
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: in cash UM secured for UM. I will be very

1117
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: surprised if they spend one of their top picks on

1118
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: a running back. That that said, they're going to roll

1119
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: into this year with Kenyan Drake and Caitlin Bellage and

1120
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: both of them are going to be cheap. They're going

1121
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 1: to be cheap relative to their opposite. I mean, and

1122
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: you may you may end up seeing a scenario where

1123
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 1: Blage is the better value based on where he's going

1124
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: to be projected to go than than Kenyan Drake. Right now,

1125
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: I haven't going in the fifth round. And you know,

1126
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: Drake was what RB four team in PPR leagues last season.

1127
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: There wasn't terrible. The problem is he was like all

1128
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 1: or nothing. Yeah, he was all or nothing and if

1129
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 1: they gave him a bigger workload, my god, he would

1130
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: be He would be a top ten running back, no

1131
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: question about it. Um, but that didn't happen. So again,

1132

Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to check that OUTFL dot com
