We just have 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.759 tight ends left, yeah, and we've got an amazing one 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.320 in Brock Bauers. You and I talked about Brock going 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.039 back a whole year and how he was going to 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:45.160 be a lottery pick player, and we knew it last year. 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.280 He did nothing in his senior not a senior junior? 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:49.840 Is he a junior junior junior year? 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.080 To change anybody's mind here, I don't. 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.920 Think no, no, Yeah, And a guy that led Georgia 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.120 and receiving yards two of his three seasons. Of course, 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.880 Georgia won the national title in two of those years, right, 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.800 Not only that, you know, we call him an offensive weapon. 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.800 Kirby Smart said if they had used him at running back, 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.440 Bowers would have been their best running back as well. 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.120 All that, and you know, they just figured out all 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.520 these kind of ways to manufacture touches for him, whether 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.560 it's out wide, whether it was in the slot, whether 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.480 it's uh you know, in line, whether they shifted him 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.200 into the backfield and they would do end rounds with 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.880 him like a Deebo Samuel at tight end sort of 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.760 a thing, the creative usage, and that is going to 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:33.680 continue at the NFL level. Great athlete obviously, the speed 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.280 and direct change of direction are both elite, super duper 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:41.120 skilled receiver. He was charted with a couple of drops 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:45.799 on PFF and both of the ones were Yeah, well 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.000 it was like balls were anyone else, I don't think 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.440 they would have given him drops like reeling out. But 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.520 the standards for him are higher, there's yeah, they absolutely 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:54.880 are because he can get to you know. It's like 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.160 back in the day, was like Ozzie Smith because he 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.160 had such great range. Football clanged off into his If 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:01.799 someone else wouldn't have got to, they would have given 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.480 him an error on it. But yeah, super duper dangerous 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.800 with the ball in his hands, and he facilitates that 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.920 with the route running machinations before that. He has an 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.800 eye for detail with that, and then he becomes the 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.240 broken tackle machine speed when he has that ball in 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.880 his hands. So that's why they Kirby smart and that 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.280 staff went to those lengths to manufacture opportunities for him 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.000 to get the ball on his hands because he had 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.840 that speed, he has the agility, he has the power. 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.280 He also is a decent blocker, you know what that Yeah, 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.639 I mean he gets after it for sure. He does 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.960 not take plays off. Of course, you know his size 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.080 six three two forty three, there's gonna be some guys 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.240 that can overpower him. But especially in space, he'll take 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:44.760 care of who you need him to take care of. 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.760 Very very very good player. And of course he's going 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.160 to go somewhere in the top fifteen, a little bit 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.120 fluid right now where that that eventual landing spot is. 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.200 But wherever he goes, it's going to be the same 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.880 thing that you saw at Georgia. They will figure out 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.839 all kinds of creative ways to manufacture that ball into 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:02.280 his hands. 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.960 We're talking about brock Bauers from Georgia and the word 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.280 that I love that gets associated with brock Bauers and 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.520 why I get so excited finisher. He you know, when 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.840 the ball gets in his hands, that's just the beginning 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.159 for him, you know, And that dude is it's like 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.280 all right now, it's game on, you know, And I 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.520 love that about him, and I think that's part of 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:28.839 why twenty six touchdowns in thirty seven career starts. But 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.360 you know we're talking, you know, point eight touchdowns a game. 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.080 Oh for my tight end, I'm really interested in that. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:34.880 Yeah. 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.479 You know, with college players, you can tell the really 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:41.080 elite ones by the way that the defense reacts to 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.880 them and the defensive strategy of the coordinator heading into 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.880 the game. With Georgia games, you would see the enormous 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.880 amount of attention that was paid to Bauer's pre snap 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.480 and then the delineation of coverage resources to him after 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.800 this snap. Sometimes they couldn't stop him anyway, right, but 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.960 this always opened up spacing for the rest of it. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.600 His teammates I remember when they remember when they slapped 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:06.520 around TCU in that National title game. TCU, they were 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:10.799 trying to take Bowers away, but whenever they would wrote 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.120 double team him, it would leave someone open on the 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.640 other side, right, So it's sort of like pick your poison. 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.159 But yeah, he is just so dangerous and a different 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.719 kind of a tight end too. Let's say than Kyle Pitts, 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.320 you know, the last one that wins high as we 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.960 think he's gonna go. Bowers is more that guy like said, 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.360 shift him around. You can do all these different kind 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:31.480 of things with him. 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:36.520 Bowers, everybody's got pegged going to the jets at ten. Honestly, 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.360 I think he's a great value at ten. I think, 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:39.920 you know, you could you can make a case from 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.520 going much higher. But it makes sense where he go 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.320 to the jets at ten. Other possible landing spots if 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:49.640 he slides past the jets Denver could make sense at twelve. 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:55.760 Indy at fifteen, and Seattle. I'm really fascinated by Seattle 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.600 that has not had a meaningful tight end. I I 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.839 don't know how long it's been. I'm trying to remember 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.400 the last good one. You know, if Seattle at sixteen, 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.560 I can see them moving up a few spots, that 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:07.039 will be a. 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.719 Dangerous pass catching corps. You add him to DK and 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:15.760 lock it into into JSN. I know, right, that's gonna 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:17.440 be a tough one at a defan, wouldn't it be? 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:18.040 So? 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.760 Seattle would be fascinating to see if they and I 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.600 think they'd have to move up a little bit, but 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.119 maybe they don't have to move up that much. 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.599 Yeah, it's one to monitor because because of the the 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.880 you know, you were sort of hitting on the positional 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.640 value the way the NFL sees that, it does open 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:36.839 up the possibility of a potential quote unquote fall beneath 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.760 where he probably should go. Yeah, And to that point, 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.520 there's that argument about what the franchise take cost per position, 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.039 and so this argument is sort of made against him, 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.040 like the amount of money you're gonna have to give 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.719 him initially it's close to what the franchise take is 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.120 for tight ends. But on the other side of that, 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:57.320 you could begin franchising brock Bauers once his rookie contractor's 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.799 done and get him for way cheaper than he should 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.320 be on the open market. This guy is more just 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.760 again offensive weapon pass catcher get the ball in his hands, 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.560 than he is comparable apples to apples to other tight ends. 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.680 The Vikings could move down from eleven to sixteen, Seattle 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:17.280 moves up. Seattle's biggest needs across the offensive line, garden center. 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.920 There's no garden center that should go at sixteen. Well, 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.960 guard maybe, but that's a whole other conversation. All right, 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:24.040 So that's Brack Bauers. 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:24.480 We love him. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.880 He's probably gonna have an immediate fantasy impact, and in 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.960 any tight end mandatory league. He's somebody that's going to 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.160 have to be taken early in your dynasty rookie draft 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.440 for sure. Let's go down one level, I think, and 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:43.000 probably one full round down. Ben Senate from Kansas State. 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:45.640 This is I think you're a little higher on him 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.400 than others as I'm looking at some other grades. Tell 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:48.800 me what you love about Ben Sennett. 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.000 There's and I almost don't even want to evoke this 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.280 name because I love this guy so much last process 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.520 and I don't want to put like that expectation on him. 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.880 But his game reminds me a lot out of Sam Laporta. Boy, 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.679 it's it's a very similar frame six four two fifty 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.920 and the RAS nine seven three. You see the athleticism 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.840 with him on the tape, but the similar thing with 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.040 with Laporta, it's the tackle breaking stuff in the lunch 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:20.040 pale game that he has. He's very skilled at getting 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.080 open right off the get and then when he gets 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.360 that ball in his hands and he turns into the runner, 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.760 he has the agility with the power so he can 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.400 force off angle attempts, ar arm tackle attempts, and he's 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:35.440 going to run through them like turnstiles. And then He's 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.520 one of those guys who becomes the best friend, you know, 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.640 not only the quarterback in the passing game, but to 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.360 the runners as well. 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:43.439 He is a vicious blocker. 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.720 He's the guy that you want as the lead guy, 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:47.679 you know, heading out to. 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.720 The second level, he's going to destroy someone. You know. 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.520 It's the the seek and destroy kind of a thing. 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.000 He sort of seems to savor that aspect of the game. 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:02.079 Very contact intensive. But yeah, you have a little bit 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:06.920 of the athleticism there with that lunch pail thing, you know, 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:08.840 to the point of why you know he's a little 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.920 bit lower with the consensus. A couple of things. He 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.120 wasn't a belly who had recruit at all. In fact, 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.880 he was totally overlooked. And then his arm length is 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.680 on the shorter end, and that's something the NFL is 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.800 going to. Dingy Fort's this his teammate Cooper Bebe coming 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.760 out was one of the best guards we had in 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:27.600 college football as a couple of years. But he might 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.839 fall down a little bit because the shorter arms. It's 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.480 the same thing with Senne you know, of my top 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.120 let's see twelve guys, I think he has the shortest 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.320 arms of the tight end class, but the other stuff 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.360 all plays. You have the athleticism, you have the production profile. 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.880 You saw him block in college. You could do all 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:47.640 that kind of stuff with him. Another guy you can 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:51.559 shift around the formation. He has plenty of experience in line, 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.480 so you could do that with him. Versatile player, and 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.640 I think he is definitely a fantasy guy, a fantasy 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.560 asset that people need to monitor because of the pass 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.359 catching ability, the athleticism, and then the tackle breaking afterwards. 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.440 I'd love to see Ben Sennett find his way to 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.920 Cincinnati later in the raft where he could walk right. 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:12.440 It wouldn't that be glorious? 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:13.200 Yeah? Yep? 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.520 T Higgin's gone. Yeah, And you know, potentially. 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.480 They were a team that we've been pointing at take 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.600 a tight end for a couple of years now, and 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.880 they probably should have done it last last year, right, Yeah, 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.440 and they might be kicking themselves of why didn't we 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.840 just take Sammy Laporta. And now the next year we 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.040 get into day two because I think Senate's going to 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:33.400 fall a little bit more than. 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.040 Laport You know, Laporta early round two. 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:40.199 Yeah, And people out there need to remember during Laporta's process, 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.280 he was ranked where you know, by the media essentially 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.360 where Senate is now. Yeah, so yeah, don't don't use 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.240 that to discount Ben Senen's game at all. 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:52.160 I don't have Cincinnati's full draft chart in front of me, 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.000 but I'm assuming they pick they pick eighteenth in the 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:56.840 first I'm assuming they have their second round pick and 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.600 that they're picking roughly eighteenth in the second. And if 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.480 that's the case, that could be a Ben sinence. 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.840 Yeah, that would be really interesting. They're at forty nine 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:05.840 and eighty okay. 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.120 Forty nine and eighty okay, so forty nine, yeah, forty 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.400 nine totally in player. Yeah, absolutely, so that we'll see. Uh, 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.319 let's uh, let's get one more in before we take 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:17.920 a quick break. Jatavian Sanders from Texas. He's the next 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:23.200 tight end on your list. I've seen only seven touchdowns 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.360 in thirty nine games. Worries me a little bit because 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.800 I want you I want touchdowns from my tight ends 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:28.520 if I can get them right. 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.200 Sure, those guys are special. Talk. 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:31.719 Let's break down his game a little bit. What do 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.679 you like about Jatavian Sanders. 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.920 Jatavian Sanders is a guy that I liked more off 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.360 of film and his work during the season than than 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.240 what I've seen during the draft process. Okay, he did 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.880 not help himself with a five to seven to three rats. 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.360 Yeah. Wow. And the reason why it. 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.760 You know, it's case specific with these tests in the 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.199 athletic profiles. You know, with regards to the prospects, this 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.040 one hurts because Jatavian Sanders can't block. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.480 He is a he's a big receiver. He's a big 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:02.920 slot is what he is. 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.400 And you were hoping to see the athleticism becoming of 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.200 that because you know you're not going to deploy him 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.800 as a blocker at the next level. The testing profile 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.960 dragged that down a little bit. Will he still be 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.680 tight end two as he was seen? He was seen 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.840 his tight end two with a bullet coming into the process. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.080 Will he still be the second tight end take it 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.760 in the draft? I'm not sure about that anymore. But 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.719 he's six foot four two forty five catch first tight end. 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.720 He is skilled, and he's very good down the scene, 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.000 very smooth with that. He has plenty of experience playing 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.520 in line at Texas. But like I said, I would 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.840 not trust that guy to be blocking out of in line. 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.240 He's going to get ragged. All he has to be 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:42.040 the big slot. 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.640 So it's just going to depend on does he have 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:45.959 the athletic trump cards, does he have an or I 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.840 should say, does he have enough. We know he doesn't 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.480 have the trump cards. Does he have enough athleticism for 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.600 his game to be able to translate one to one 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.280 the receiving aspect of it to the next level. But 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.959 I saw the speed, acceleration, agility on film. He appear 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.080 to move better as a route runner on film than 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:07.040 he tested. I like his core strength and balance. He 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.800 does not get jarred when he's running his routes. He 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:13.480 also has a high conversion rate in contested scenarios, which 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.320 I think is important here when you're talking about going 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.960 to that next level when you're facing the elite athletes, 0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.400 especially if that's something that he has to overcome. 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.000 He was very good at that. 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.679 He doesn't break many tackles, but if you hit him 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.840 on the hands in space, he is a yet guy 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:31.080 because he smoothly transitions from the receiver to the runner, 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:34.360 thing gets up field, starts running, has pretty good vision. 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.360 But yeah, he will not be a blocker at the 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.200 next level. He's got to be. He's got to make 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:43.040 it as a big slot. It's bad sign, bad sign. 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.840 You know, in my experience, players who don't have a 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.000 natural fitted at anyone position fail at all of them, 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:55.280 you know, And I would get worried that I'm thinking 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.280 of like the Iowa state wide receiver from like three 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.840 years ago, who they you know, like, was too big 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.559 and slow to be a wide receiver. Butler Keem Butler 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.400 super productive, like all these acrobatic catches and stuff. And 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:09.280 I was really excited for what I thought could be 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.360 a decent NFL career. But he was a player without 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.480 a position, and I worry that that's a little bit 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.400 of what we've got with Jatavian Sanders, a player without 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.240 a position for dis guys and a size and skill set. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.080 Let's take a break. When we come back. 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:23.920 I want to get to. 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:29.520 Tight End University, Iowa. H You like Eric all And 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.120 a lot more than some other people. Let's talk about him. 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.560 He started at Michigan ends up but at Iowa. Let's 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.880 talk through him when we come back. Welcome back, Paul 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.600 Charchie and Thor Nystrom with you. You can follow Thor 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:46.280 on Twitter at thor K. You like Kansas University, you 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.960 got it at Paul Charchie in as well, and again 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.240 check out our Discord server. Go to the show notes, 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.800 click on the link there, and or just look for 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:59.000 Fantasy Football Weekly on Discord. Eric All was I don't know, 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:03.280 three years, four years in Michigan and then left Michigan, 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.680 which is like, why do you leave in Michigan, goes 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.440 to Iowed, which is I guess the one place that 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.880 titan could go, or it makes some sense. Tell me 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.480 why you like Eric Hall a little bit more than 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:16.320 some others. I've seen him ranked as low as like ten, eleven, 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.560 twelve and in some rankings, but you're a lot more optimistic. 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:20.280 Let's talk about it. 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.720 Yeah, I think he's getting slept on, and it's good 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.800 symmetry to talk about him. Right after we brought up 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.720 Sam Laporta, Eric All was imported to replace Sam Laporta, 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.400 and he went right into the inline spot that Laporta 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.440 had played and then became the same sort of aspect 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.240 of the offense. Of course, Iowa's offense is terrible, and 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.000 right there's funnel a bunch of usage from this terrible 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.880 passing get into good tight ends. And Eric All certainly 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:47.040 is that and was that at Michigan. He was the 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.960 move guy, the h back guy, more the sort of 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.680 the niche pass game stuff. Then he had a back 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.640 injury that ended his season in twenty twenty two. There 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.360 was a disagreement about whether to get surgery or not, 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:03.680 the ultimately, you know, cutting the season short. That ultimately 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.200 led to him transferring spinal surgery. 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.280 By the way, for Eric All, you know what, that. 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:10.560 Doesn't ever make me feel better. 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.200 No, yeah, it's you know, and he is going to 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.360 be a big medical guy where your your team's medical 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.640 staff is gonna pulke around in there, and they need 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.240 to give him obviously not a clean bill of health, 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.280 but you need to know what the risk of re 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.880 injury is, you know, how elevated is that. And then 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.040 he comes off an ACL tear in October, So we're 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.280 getting this scary stuff out of the way first. Now 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:35.080 he's rehabbing from the ACL, right, which is the reason 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.480 he did not work out during the pre draft process. 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:41.320 Of course, so the health caveats aside, right, Like, Eric 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.200 All needs to be healthy at the next level, and 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.560 I think that's why some people rank him maybe a 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.600 little bit lower. If now this is a big if, 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.000 I grant you, but if Eric All is healthy at 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.320 the next level or healthy ish. If he has a 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.680 season long periods where he's healthy, he is going to 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.600 be a steal, not only in the NFL draft, obviously 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.640 for fantasy players as well. Eric All six foot four 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.200 and a half two hundred and fifty two pounds. Like 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.879 I said, he did not get to test. If he 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.280 did get to test, I think he would have run 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.040 the fastest forty time of any tight end. The guy 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.720 who did that was Theo Johnson with a four or 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:18.560 five seven. That the Penn State kid we're going to 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:22.200 talk about in a second. Yeah, but eric All, interestingly enough, 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.800 you see multiple instances of this on tape, but one 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.480 sort of proof of concept I have on this idea 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.840 against Penn State. He caught a ball, accelerates around the 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.840 corner around Kaylan King, and then it became a foot race. 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.080 Eric All separated away from Kaylan King down the field. 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.080 Kaylan King runs a four or five two right a 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.240 draft prospect in this class. I think eric All was 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.480 going to perhaps run a high four to four forty, 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.440 just didn't get the opportunity. I also like his change 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.960 of direction on the field. Pretty solid route runner. The 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.800 best thing about his route running is he accelerates quickly 0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:00.000 out of route breaks and then gets back to top speed. 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.800 There are some there's a few concentration drops. That's the 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.159 one thing I'd want for him to clean up. But 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.440 I like his ball skills. He's one of those guys 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:10.480 that works back to the ball, attacks it in the 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:15.520 air full extension. I comp him, you know, interestingly, we 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.399 also had brought up the Seattle tight end room and 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.119 former Iowa guys. No, you're gonna go a lot of 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:24.439 no offans in his game. When again, when he's healthy. 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:27.040 The first six games of this past season at Iowa, 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.560 when he was on the field prior to that ACL tear, 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.440 he was putting up numbers comparable to most other tight 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.280 ends in the nation. Like he was way up there 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:36.920 in terms of just the counting stats and certainly yards 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.520 per roub run. He might have even been first. But 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.359 then you know, of course, what happened happened. But I 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.000 see if he is healthy at the next level, I 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:46.760 think it's a Noah fan like skill set. 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.119 All right, that's Eric all from Iowa. Why do you 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:50.240 leave Michigan. 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.360 Because of the back the back injury and then they 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.399 didn't think he should get surgery, but he thought he 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.080 should get surgery. Okay, it was a little trust broke 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.440 in there, Yeah it was, and there was a deal, 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:02.600 like not all of it got out, but we knew 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.119 that there was a disagreement, and then right after that 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.080 he summarily announced his transfer. 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:08.640 So yeah, okay, all right. 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:14.159 Kate Stover from Ohio State grew up helping raise cattle 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:18.040 and pigs and farming hay, corn and soybeans. His teammates 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:23.320
