1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: The most valuable commodity I know of is information.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you agree? I've got five dollars?

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: This is a ratable up cowboy tackle.

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,440
Speaker 2: You're saying that humans need fantasy to make life bearable,

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: Humans need fantasy to be human.

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 3: My goodness, I don't misspeak, prone, the best, relentless, refusing

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: to give up.

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: All right, hit that horn.

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:40,400

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: one of the most accurate projectors and fancy rankers in

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: the game, has been for quite some time, the odds maker,

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: Sean Kerner. Sean, what's going on?

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: What's up?

16
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: Definitely excited for tight end draft and you know, we

17
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: just got to see a week one of the preseason,

18
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: so we actually got to see some of these guys

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: actually get some you know NFL snaps and you know,

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: like looking forward to drafting with you.

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is uh, this is gonna be an interesting

22
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: one because there's only so many guys here. But yeah,

23
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: you know last year you got you know, Sam, you

24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: got Musgrave at tight end thirty two. I got Sam

25
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: laporta tight end twenty even Kincaid was sixteen. So there's

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: definitely some few values to be had up and down

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: this board, and uh, you know, you never know which

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: one of those guys that it could be, So I

29
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 2: think it's important to kind of talk about the value

30
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: of each one of them and jump in. We'll go

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: eight pick excuse me, ten picks for the draft, five

32
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: tight ends each. But before we do, just want to

33
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,760

48
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: just the reminder this is the way we do it.

49
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: We draft, we go back and forth drafting rookie tight ends.

50
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: We'll take five each and we score it versus ADP.

51
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: W used besketball ten ADP over the last two weeks,

52
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: and last year you won. So I think we did

53
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: a running back in wide receiver first, and I actually

54
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: edged you out on both of those. But in terms

55
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: of tight end, we both were negative versus ADP, which

56
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: is not a surprise when you're drafting a bunch of

57
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: you know, tight ends that don't even have ADPs. But

58
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: you were. Your five tight ends on average were a

59
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: minus nineteen point three. Mine were on average a minus

60
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: twenty six point four. You had two of your five

61
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: beat ADP. I only had one. Mine did score more,

62
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: but that's just because I had Sam Laporta at tight

63
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: end twenty So I ended up with two hundred and

64
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: seventy eight half PPR points. You had two hundred twenty six.

65
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: But we're scoring versus ADP because I think I think

66
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: the valve. Finding value makes it more fun. You can't

67
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: just you know, pick the necessarily pick the you know,

68
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 2: best tight end on the boards. There's a little bit

69
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: of game theory here, and any tight end that does

70
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: not have an ADP because we are going ten deep

71
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: for this draft, will get an ADP of tight end

72
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: forty five because there were forty four tight ends currently

73
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: with ADP's over the last two weeks at Bestball ten.

74
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: So with that being said, I'll let you kick it off.

75
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: Where are you going number one this year? Last year

76
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: you had a pretty good start. You went Dalton Kincaid

77
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: at he was a tight end sixteen eightyp so that

78
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: cashed for you. How you're starting it this year?

79
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: I'm going with THEO Johnson of the Giants. He's unrented,

80
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: so I get him a tight end forty five. You know,

81
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,119
Speaker 3: I think that the Giants drafted him the fourth round

82
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: realizing that Darren Waller was likely going to retire, so

83
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: they probably want to give Theo, you know, every chance

84
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: to potentially be the starter of this season as a

85
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: rookie with Daniel Bellinger as you know, the safe option,

86
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: and just in case he doesn't pan out quite yet.

87
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 3: But you know hip injury did prevent him from practicing

88
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: a bit early in training camp, but he's he's returned

89
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 3: to return from that seems to be totally fine. So

90
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: right now he's he's Lissa as the four string tight end.

91
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: But apparently he's been getting a lot of first team

92
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 3: reps in camp, so I wouldn't look into that too much.

93
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: And he has the upside to be the number two

94
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: target in this offense behind Lak Neighbors, like that's that's

95
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 3: his ceiling a near one. So I think he's probably

96
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: the best bet right now to clear his ADP from

97
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: all these guys. So I'm gonna go THEO Johnson.

98
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally agree. I think that's easily to pick, you know,

99
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: with the path to UH starting as soon as week one,

100
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: because like you said, it's in these depth tarts, they're unofficial.

101
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: I think Sean Payton says something like, yeah, I just

102
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: I just I just write names and without even thinking

103
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: about it, and it saves me. Instead of taking four

104
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: five minutes, it takes me five. Unfortunately, he also just

105
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 2: haphazardly played guys too, because I have no idea what

106
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: like how that depth chart was shaken out and what

107
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: to do with it. But as far as the Giants, yeah,

108
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: THEO Johnson doesn't matter where he's listed. Daniel Bellinger is

109
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: not really much of a threat offensively long term in

110
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: terms of being a pass catcher. And then you got

111
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: kind of like Tyree Jackson former quarterback. He's he's not

112
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: going to factor in too much. Cajer, you know, he

113
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: might catch a ball here and there. And then he

114
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: got some blocking guys like Man Hurts and Jack Stole

115
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: I think is still on there. So yeah, a lot,

116
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: a lot of opportunity for THEO Johnson in year one

117
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: for the New York Giants. Remember it was Evan Ingram

118
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: had a pretty good year one for the Giants and

119
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: kind of I think it was a pretty bad Giants

120
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 2: team and he ended up having a really nice year one,

121
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: So I think john I don't know if Johnson has

122
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: that kind of upside, you know, ingramqe sixty four balls

123
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: for seven to twenty two in year one, but I

124
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: would say Johnson could catch you know, forty balls maybe.

125
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: I think that's a realistic which would put him what

126
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,679
Speaker 2: probably inside the top thirty. So that's definitely some upside

127
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: for Johnson. Nice nice t E two or t E

128
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: three best ball pick if you're playing in that format.

129
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: For my first pick, second overall, I'm gonna go with

130
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: Jitavian Sanders at tight end thirty nine, and he is

131
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: in a somewhat crowded Carolina tight end room. But Ian

132
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: Thomas has been missing camp with injury and Tommy Trumble

133
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: has been missing camp with injury, and those are the

134
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: guys listed as the starters on the unofficial depth chart.

135
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: So Sanders were getting a lot of reps with the ones.

136
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: He did so in the first prese game as well.

137
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: And you know, I mean when you're talking about Ian Thomas,

138
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: Tommy Trumble, and Jordan Matthews with the position switch. Yes,

139
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: Jordan Matthews, the former Eagle wide receiver is still in

140
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: the league and may make the team right now. He's

141
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: on pace to make the team uh as the as

142
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: the third of the fourth tight end. So that's what

143
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: Sanders is competing with here on the Carolina Panthers. So

144
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: the only the reason I still like Johnson Moore if

145
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: you're choosing between the two, because Johnson's ADP is a

146
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: little lower and I think he has even less competition

147
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: like I do think Tommy Trumble they would like to

148
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: get him some some snaps in the passing game if

149
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 2: if he were healthy. But Sanders, Texas tight end, has

150
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: some explosiveness to him. So and he was a you

151
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: know pick just outside the top one hundred at pick

152
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: one oh one. So they spent a pretty penny in

153
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: terms of draft capital to get Sanders, even though they

154
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: did have that glot because they also had Stephen Sullivan

155
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 2: and he ended up he's they had to cut him

156
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: with an injury settlement. So Sander's just been you know,

157
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: climbing up the depth chart and his comp on player

158
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: profiler is Luke Musgraves, so that that's promising. So yeah,

159
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: six four two forty five, decent speed just under four

160
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: to six and another guy only twenty one and just

161
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: turned twenty one a few months ago, So a lot

162
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: of upside here for Sanderson.

163
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.

164
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 3: After brock Bowers, it's sort of up to up for

165
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: debate who's the next best tight end for fantasy purposes,

166
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 3: and Sanders is right in that mix. And the Panthers

167
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: they've been, you know, Fancy Wasteland a tight end ever

168
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 3: since Greg Olsen left. And you know, Sanders is not

169
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 3: a great blocker. He is a pass catching tight end,

170
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 3: so I think they have that envisioning with him. It's

171
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: just bringing back the tight end as an offensive piece

172
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 3: in this offense.

173
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And Sander's can do a little bit of

174
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: a boat. You can't. He can, he could, He could

175
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: block a little bit. You know, it's not gonna be great,

176
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: but right now, you can.

177
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: Do it enough to get on the field and make

178
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 3: some catches.

179
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, as good as Tommy Trumble can anyway.

180
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: Exactly, but exactly what.

181
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: Are you doing for your second pick, third overall of

182
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: our rookie tight end draft for twenty twenty four.

183
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 3: I'm going Ben Sennett at tight end twenty nine. And

184
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 3: I made a tweet over the weekend. This is the

185
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: third latest tight end that's probably gonna be delayed one

186
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: or two years for his breakout flying alongside zach Ertz,

187
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: you know, like Dallas Goddard, Trade McBride and yeah, who knows,

188
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: maybe learning under a great tight end like zach Ertz

189
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: may have helped them.

190
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: But he already looks good.

191
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 3: He had that amazing catch and run, I mean, dragging

192
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 3: guys that look Jimmy look like the Jimmy Graham play

193
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. But He's very talented. He has a

194
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 3: ton of upside. You know, I'm projecting him right around here,

195
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 3: just given zach Ertz will likely be the starting tight

196
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: end in week one. But you know, if Ertz missus

197
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: playing time Senate has you know, high end tight end

198
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: two upside. You know, we see that running back all

199
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: the time. You know, the backup will leap up the

200
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: ranks and be a useful fantasy asset if the starter

201
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 3: goes down. That's not really usually the case at tight end.

202
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: So Sinnett's kind of like the Isaiah likely where he

203
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: has this massive upside if the starter will go down.

204
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: So if he you know, starts a few games, he

205
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: could go off and then the rest of the time,

206
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: you know, he could be splitting reps with zach Ertz

207
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: or potentially leap frog him this year. So I just

208
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 3: think he has a good for ceiling profile as a rookie.

209
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: And you know this is a bad on.

210
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: Talent situation, but I think at tight end twenty nine

211
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 3: there's there's fairly low risk here. You know, he could

212
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: end up outside of the top forty, but I think

213
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: he has the talent and situation to potentially, you know,

214
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: finish in the top twenty or so.

215
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he definitely has a talent. He was another

216
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: one of those guys I thought was just getting overdrafted

217
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: all summer, and now he's starting to fall a little

218
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: bit because I actually think zach Ertz is a little

219
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: undervalued now looks at him and he's like, oh, he's old.

220
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: He's only gonna play like eight games. But I like

221
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsburg. You kind of alluded to it. This is

222
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsbury offense now, and he was the exact one

223
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 2: who was zach Ertz, and then Trey McBride was next up,

224
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 2: and you know it was like you said, year two.

225
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: But like, like we talked about, zach Ertz has been

226
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: missing half the season and he's old, so that could

227
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: definitely happen again. And Set has enough talent to be

228
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 2: productive in this offense where really after you know, besides

229
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: Terry McLaurin and Austin Eckler, they are targets up for grabs.

230
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess Dotson is in the mix, but

231
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: you know he's been disappointing and kind of wearing a

232
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: new role, so uh yeah, there's a path here. So

233
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: I like it, and I thought he looked good. Finally

234
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 2: kind of drop in to a decent ADP because I

235
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,599
Speaker 2: was off him all summer, did really get any of

236
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 2: them because he was going like tight end twenty two

237
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: at points in the in the summer, and I was like, well,

238
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: that's where I have zach Ertz. You know, if he

239
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 2: doesn't get hurt. But yeah, I do like the talent.

240
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: So hopefully I mean, I don't want to say hopefully

241
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: Urtz gets hurt, but hopefully so now finds a way

242
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: to contribute right off the bat. He should be the

243
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: tight end two regardless, and then Baits will be the

244
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: blocking tight end, so he'll at least be the number

245
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: two pass catching tight end. I don't think Turner is

246
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: gonna make the team this year. Okay, for the fourth

247
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: overall pickup our rookie tight end draft, I'm going to

248
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: roll with Kate Stover undrafted, so it would be tight

249
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: end forty five Houston. I did peep that he gotta

250
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 2: he gotta snap with the first team offense in preseason

251
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: Week one. Their second game, Dalton Schultz played six of

252
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: all six of the snaps, but Stover, as the second

253
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: tight end, came on ran a route one of the

254
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: four routes that were available for that first team offense. Now,

255
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: not everybody was playing, but I do think Stover is

256
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: a guy who, you know, Dalton Schultz getting a little

257
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: bit up there in age, and Revin Jordan kind of

258
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 2: know what he is at this point. He I mean,

259
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: Revin Jordan did well to even just rebound after a

260
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: really bad start to his career and kind of make

261
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 2: a you know, find a role for himself last year.

262
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: But you know, this is a new regime, not the

263
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: one that drafted Revin Jordan. And Revin Jordan you know,

264
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: that was way back was twenty twenty one, I think

265
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: when he got drafted twenty twenty or twenty twenty one.

266
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, so like this is a guy in Stover

267
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: with better draft pedigree. He was a fourth round pick

268
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: this year, one hundred twenty fourth overall, compared to Jordan

269
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: at one forty eight back you know, a few years ago.

270
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: So I think Stover has a chance to leap frog

271
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: Jordan as soon as this year, maybe even as soon

272
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: as Week one, given how the preseason has been going.

273
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: And if he does that, then he's just an adult

274
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: and Show's injury away from being the number one tight

275
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: end on a CJ. Stroud offense, and he has been

276
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: catching balls in preseason as well. He's got he caught

277
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: two or three targets for twenty six on twenty routes

278
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame game, and then against Pittsburgh

279
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: and we won. Of the preseason, he caught three of

280
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: three for thirty two on eighteen routes, so you know,

281
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: he's been getting a decent amount. He's up to six targets,

282
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: five catches fifty eight yards on the preseason. He's playing

283
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 2: some plays, a couple of snaps here and there out

284
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: wide and playing about just under forty percent in the slot.

285
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: So they've been able to move him around. And that's

286
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: that's enticing when you think about how good we expect

287
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 2: this offense is. So could be a sneaky play, but

288
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: I could see us by like week four or five,

289
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: you know, projecting Stover for like you know, you know,

290
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: eleven eleven and a half or betting under on like

291
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: his prop at eleven and a half because he's he's

292
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: put up at fifteen to sixteen yards like each of

293
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: the first three or fours or something like that.

294
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: No way they're offering Stover props unless Schultz get gets hurt.

295
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: But well, you know, Raybon, you could bet on Stover's

296
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: props right now in the preseason.

297
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: I could, I could. I mean, I don't like I'd

298
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: have to bet an Over, you know me and Over.

299
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: I say, I'm not betting the under.

300
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: On K Stover. It was the it was the Hall

301
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: of Fame game. I took over.

302
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: It was like seventeen and a half yards. My medium

303
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: projection did not recommend that, but I thought, you know,

304
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 3: he's got a shot to show off tonight, and he

305
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 3: did impress. I do like this pick. He's he's a

306
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: good blocker, good pass catcher, could be great after the

307
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: catch as well.

308
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: He's he's sort of like a Tyler Higbee.

309
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: A Dulton Schultz ironically comp and I think he you know,

310
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: Brevin Jordan's there, but I think he could be you know,

311
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 3: Schultz direct backup. So if Schultz, yeah, miss his time,

312
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 3: I think it'd be Stover who actually steps up.

313
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: I hope. So, I mean that's kind of the sense

314
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: I've been getting, but nothing official yet, so we'll keep

315
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 2: monitoring him, but yeah, could be sneaky. All right, Pick

316
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: number five of our risky tight end draft. Where are

317
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 2: you going with this one.

318
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: All right.

319
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 3: So, I mean a lot of these guys that aren't

320
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: ranked or the last guy that's ranked it, it's gonna

321
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 3: be tough for them to provide value. So I'm actually

322
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 3: going with the stud here. Brock Bauers at tight end

323
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: eleven might be tough for him to clear this, but

324
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna come very close to a top

325
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 3: ten season as a rookie. You know, one of the

326
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 3: best tight end prospects we've seen over the past several years.

327
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 3: I didn't love the landing spot just given the quarterback situation.

328
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 3: Michael Penix was off the board at this point. They

329
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 3: I thought that they were going to get Michael Pennock,

330
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 3: So you know, they're stuck with Gardner Minshew Adan O'Connell

331
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 3: for this season. They already had Michael Mayer, who I

332
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 3: thought was an excellent prospect last year, and they have

333
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 3: DeVante Adams, who commends a high target share along with

334
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 3: you know, Jacoby Myers. But that could change, you know,

335
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: if Adams does eventually get traded away, Bowers could be

336
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 3: you know, the top target or a top two target

337
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: at least in this offense. So you know, I love

338
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 3: his upside this year, and we've seen rookie tight ends

339
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 3: fair a lot better lately with Sam Laport and Dalton

340
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 3: and Kay last year already breaking out. So he definitely

341
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: has the upside to finish top ten based on, you know,

342
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 3: his talent alone. The situation does hurt him, but again

343
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 3: in this range, you know, a lot of tight ends

344
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: have question marks, so I would not be shocked if

345
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: he has a top ten season this year. So I

346
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: think at worst, you know, he finishes top fifteen, So

347
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 3: I don't think I would take that big of a hit.

348
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 3: If he's healthy and plays all season, I think he's

349
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 3: pretty much a lot to be top twenty, top fifteen.

350
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that that's who I would have gone it next.

351
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: I mean, besides that, you're just kind of grasping few picks,

352
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 2: So I think that was the right pick. And yeah,

353
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: it's kind of probably gonna. I would compare him to

354
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: Don Kinkd. I think obviously not in the same caliber

355
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: of of offense, with the same caliber of quarterback, but

356
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: in terms of how the usage breaks down, I think,

357
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: you know, he'll start the year, uh you know, and

358
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: it kind of it'll be a platoon with Mayor, but

359
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: they'll be using mostly to like to tight end will

360
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 2: be their base offense. And that's even out of more

361
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: necessity now that what Gallup retired at wide receiver. You know,

362
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: they they have I think it's Tucker, Christian Wilkinson and

363
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 2: Jalen Geiton and DJ Turner, uh, you know, competing for

364
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 2: snaps behind Adams and and Meyers. So they're yeah, they're

365
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 2: best served going with, you know, two tight ends and

366
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 2: just treating Bowers like like the slot receiver. I do

367
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 2: think Tucker has some skills, you know, so hell, but

368
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: but this is gonna be a I would expect very

369
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 2: similar to what we saw out of Kincaid knocks in

370
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 2: uh in Kincaid's rookie year last year in Buffalo. And

371
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: if Mayer ever goes down, then you're looking at a

372
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: potential number two target because you know, this is a

373
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: new offense. So you know Jacobe Myers, you know, and

374
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: you're getting force fed targets in that preseason game. But

375
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 2: he could have a little bit of a different role.

376
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 2: So I don't know if he puts up a similar

377
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 2: season the last year, so there could be that number

378
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: two spot behind Adams, even if he doesn't get traded.

379
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: It could definitely be up for grabs in our raider offense. Regardless,

380
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: we are halfway through somehow this rookie tight end draft

381
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,520

00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 2: where it gets very very good luck.

395
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 3: This should be fun, though, I mean, yeah, where the

396
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 3: hell can you even go? This is where last year

397
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 3: we both finished like minus a million, and that's where

398
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 3: it happens. We're just trying to cut the losses right here.

399
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is it's gonna be. I mean, all right,

400
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: let's go. Let's just go with draft pedigree. Let's just

401
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: go tip Raymond uh for the Cardinals. Now, he's I

402
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: expecting to be the number three tight end to start

403
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 2: the year, behind both Trade McBride and Elijah Higgins, who,

404
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 2: by the way, great pick by you. I think that

405
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 2: that pretty much was a difference in our draft. Yeah

406
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 2: you got him with your last pick. Uh, and he

407
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 2: was undrafted, so a T forty five and only he

408
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 2: was only minus six, which which is actually very good.

409
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: What did he do last year? He caught three balls.

410
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 3: Eight touchdown. This is with healthy Trey McBride. What the

411
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 3: hell was going on? Oh yeah, he's a former wide receiver.

412
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 3: That's why I went with him. But that's crazy.

413
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: He had a teen fourteen balls at fourteen.

414
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: This is all with Trade McBride doing Tray McBride things too.

415
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 3: Yeah that's interesting.

416
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean, now that's what I'm competing with

417
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 2: this year with Raymond. But you know he is. I mean, really,

418
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 2: you're just looking for draft pedigree here because this is

419
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: a notoriously tough position to learn. But if Trey McBride

420
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 2: goes down. I mean that he's projected to be a

421
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: top four Fantasy tight end, so, uh, you know, there

422
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: would be some targets. And Higgins is that I believe

423
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 2: he's a verted wide receiver.

424
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: Correct.

425
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: So Raymond is two hundred and seventy one pounds, but

426
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: he is athletic for his size. He's six' five two

427
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 2: seventy one bouts to turn twenty, three third round pick

428
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 2: out Of, illinois so you, know he's a more well

429
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 2: rounded tight. End at some, point it's possible he Jumps,

430
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: higgins you, know just just due to the fact that

431
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: he's a little bit more a well rounded Wherea higgins is,

432
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 2: more you, know straight up pass catching. Specialists So i'll

433
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: take my shot At. Raymond there's a bunch of WAYS

434
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: i could, go but if if mcgride gets, hurt it

435
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 2: could get interesting with With raymond in year. One all,

436
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 2: right pick number. Seven you got two, MORE i got two. More, well,

437
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: WELL i Guess i'm now in the same boat with.

438
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: YOU i don't know WHAT i would have done in your.

439
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: Shoes So i'm gonna go With Jared. Wiley he The

440
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: chiefs took him in.

441
00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 3: The fourth round and he is probably their plan for you,

442
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 3: Know Travis kelsey's got, one maybe two more seasons. Left

443
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 3: he's probably their plan on When kelsey. Retires and while you,

444
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 3: Know Noah gray has been solid As kelsey's back up

445
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 3: and probably is as true backup this, SEASON i Think

446
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 3: wiley does have more upside Than. Gray he's you, know

447
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 3: a very good, athlete really good pass catching tight. End

448
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 3: SO i think that he might take a couple of

449
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 3: years behind the, scenes but they're probably grooming him for

450
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: The kelsey. Role but you, know If kelsey misses time this,

451
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: year they could have to accelerate that a. Bit and

452
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: this is sort of a bet on. Talent he certainly

453
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 3: needs an injury to have any playing. Time but you,

454
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 3: Know i'm batting on the talent, here and being paired

455
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 3: With Patrick maholmes is. Huge no matter how good he, is,

456
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: like he's going to be elevated just by playing Alongside Patrick.

457
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: Maholmes so this is a shot in the, Dark BUT

458
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 3: i think that this is their long time plan anyway

459
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 3: to have him sort of take over The kelsey, Roles

460
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 3: so it could at times happen as soon as this.

461
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 2: Year, yeah he just got to stop FUMBLING i know

462
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 2: he lost to fumble In week, one But i'm hoping

463
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 2: that because if right now it seems like he, Would

464
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: Irv smith still has to make the. Team but If

465
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 2: Irv smith does make the, Team smith probably is active

466
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 2: for special. Teams So i'm hoping That Erth smith just

467
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: doesn't make the, team because then why we would be

468
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: active as the number three Behind kelsey And gray every.

469
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 2: Week so that's that's something to. Watch but, YEAH i

470
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 2: definitely noticed him too and very intrigued by by. Him

471
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 2: long term might still be a year, away probably, is

472
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 2: as are most of these guys at, least but, yeah,

473
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,239
Speaker 2: YEAH i mean you. Can't you could do worse than

474
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: A Kansas City chief tight.

475
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: End especially the third.

476
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: Stringer don't always make fun Of Andy reid likes to

477
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 3: get these like random.

478
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: Guys yeah they.

479
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 2: Do like the quarterback sneak because my homes won't.

480
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 3: Sneak, yeah random looks in the end. Zone so maybe

481
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 3: he's The Jody fortson replacement and it might get me

482
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 3: a couple of touchdowns this.

483
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: Year oh, man we are digging indeed with this one

484
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: On oh my, god, MAN i can't even. WAIT i

485
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: need to hear who you're going With Devin. Cope Devin

486
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 2: cope seventh Rounder una Bay buck may not even catch

487
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 2: the opening day, roster but he might because it's an,

488
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 2: again it's a it's not one of these new offensive.

489
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: Regimes last, Year Kate outen played probably a little too.

490
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 2: MUCH i, mean this dude did not come off the.

491
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: Field Payne durham is there as a receiver, tighter But

492
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 2: Cooke keith is like a straight up more of a blocking,

493
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: back So cope he's more of a. Receiver Uh so

494
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: there's a chance he cracks the roster of the game

495
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 2: day roster as the number three tight end and his

496
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 2: uh you, know catches a ball here and. There maybe

497
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: wait in the year more. So but he did run

498
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 2: sixteen pass, routes did not block once in the first

499
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 2: week of. Preseason so that's that's about ALL i can

500
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 2: ask for When i'm just trying to get get a

501
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 2: couple of catches here and not finished below te forty,

502
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: Five and you, know maybe it was A with a

503
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 2: good enough, camp he might even be able to beat

504
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: out a guy Like. DURHAM i Think durham's playing, well

505
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 2: so probably, not but you, know he is a seventh

506
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 2: rounder out Of. Washington he who has a little bit

507
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: of pass catching acumen and is competing for that number

508
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: three maybe even number two Row and If aton goes,

509
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 2: down there's a lot of snaps to go. Around So

510
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: i'll take my chances with With coulp because if he's

511
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 2: on the, field it's kind of like a like A higgins.

512
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 2: Type he's probably gonna be on the field to catch catch. Passes.

513
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah he ran sixteen rounds and drew a targa

514
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 3: on four of. Them he only caught one, ball but

515
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 3: again he's he's drawing. Targets that's all you could ask

516
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 3: for these. Guys and if IF i don't have to

517
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 3: Project Koke keith ever, again that would be.

518
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: Great So i'm hoping he makes the.

519
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: Team there you, go all, right one more pick for

520
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 2: us each you got you got your first up number nine?

521
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 2: Overall are you?

522
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 3: Going i'm gonna have to take the guy that has

523
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: AN adp because tight end forty isn't that far away

524
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 3: from forty, Five so at Least i'm taking the GUY

525
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: i think has the best shot, of you, know potentially

526
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 3: catching some balls this. Year So i'm Going Eric all

527
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 3: from The. Bengals, NOW i this tight end depth chart

528
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 3: is very. CROWDED i don't know where he's gonna settle.

529
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 3: In you, know they Have mike A, Seki Tanner hudson,

530
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 3: example will obviously get playing, time And Tanner hudson looked

531
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 3: great last. Year, AGAIN i don't know who's all gonna

532
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: make the, team but it's very crowded tight end.

533
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: Room and you, Know Eric all does kind of.

534
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 3: Remind me Of mike A, Seki so it's it's ironic

535
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 3: he's going to be backing up, potentially but he's a

536
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 3: really athletic past catching tight. End might be a bit

537
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 3: raw entering year, one just because he missed a ton

538
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 3: of time in, college like he missed a lot of

539
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 3: games due to, injury so maybe you know there's injury

540
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 3: risk here as. Well but he always performed well when

541
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 3: he was, healthy so you, know there's a shot he

542
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 3: ends up being the number two tight. End he, could you,

543
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 3: know leap frog of Healthy guseki this. Year who, knows

544
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 3: BUT i think just in this, offense he at least

545
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 3: has the upside to potentially be a top four target

546
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 3: Of Joe borrow at some point this. Season so that's

547
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 3: that's ALL i could ask for with one of these,

548
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 3: Guys so there's a reason why he's the only guy

549
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 3: left that actually has AN, Adp so you, Know i'm

550
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 3: taking a little bit more of a risk with, Him but,

551
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 3: again he's only five slots higher than this cutoff that

552
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 3: we have at tight end forty, Five So i'm okay

553
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 3: taking him here at tight end Forty.

554
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: YEAH i know it makes a lot of. Sense you,

555
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 2: know there is a, glut but this this team was

556
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 2: using what four or five tight ends some weeks last.

557
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 2: Year Once hudson true started getting, activated they might go

558
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: A SMITH Irv, smith who was their starter last. Year

559
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: so it's wide. Opening gasecki is he's always been known

560
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 2: to kind of, disappoint so who knows how long he he,

561
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 2: can you, know stick with. It And hudson he could

562
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: be who, knows he could be a trade candidate if

563
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,959
Speaker 2: he continues to play well and they feel like they

564
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: got they want to get the two young guys because

565
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: it's not Just Eric, ahl it's Also tanner McLaughlin AND

566
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: i think that's Who i'm gonna go with with my

567
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: final pick because it was between him And Jaheim bell

568
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: of The. Patriots but you Got henry And hooper there

569
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: and then A. J barner on The seahawks is like

570
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: the fifth string tight. End he hasn't had a good,

571
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: camp So i'll just go McLaughlin and hope that Uh

572
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 2: cincinnati trades one of their tight ends or, maybe like you,

573
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: said maybe all gets hurt or something like. That so

574
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: it's kind of like a somewhat negatively correlated to. Yours

575
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: whereas you, KNOW i don't THINK i don't think five

576
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 2: tight ends are gonna make the the. TEAM i mean it's,

577
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: possible but more than likely McLachlin ends up on the practice,

578
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 2: squad but it's sicky never he's a little bit, FRAGILE

579
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 2: i think in all you, mentioned so there's a chance

580
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: to McLaughlin gets some. Steps and he had a pretty

581
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: decent week, one graded out pretty well AT, pff played

582
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 2: and ran fifteen. Routes got a couple of targets on

583
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 2: those fifteen, rounds called a twenty three yard pass with

584
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: twenty four yard drafted the. Catch, YEAH i think that

585
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 2: was like a little screen tight end screen or something like.

586
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: That so, yeah he's another one of these. Guys and

587
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 2: he was drafted in the sixth, round so you, know

588
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 2: not quite the pedigree of all but, DEFINITELY i think

589
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 2: a guy who they at least are intrigued. By so

590
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 2: like you, Said Joe, burrow same, Thing Patrick. Mahomes just

591
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: take these tight ends and hope for the. Best So

592
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: i'll take McLaughlin and hope he doesn't give me a

593
00:31:59,080 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 2: straight up.

594
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 3: Zero he, might but good With he was very productive

595
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 3: At arizona the last, tiear so he has that to go.

596
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 3: Off a lot of these tight, ends you, know they're

597
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 3: averaging one and a half catches the, game but they

598
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 3: have talent AND nfl coaches think they can like bring

599
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 3: it out of. Them McLaughlin was already very productive of At,

600
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 3: arizona so that that definitely gives him a shot to

601
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 3: make some. Noise and, yeah he was very good in

602
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 3: week one or. Preseason all.

603
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: Right that's WHAT i wrap it up for rookie tight end.
