WEBVTT - NFL Fantasy Football Podcast: Free Agency Preview + Combine Recap 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:14.040 Wow. Wow, Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, March sixth, twenty twenty four. 0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:17.239 Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where we didn't 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:19.400 write an open for this show today anyway, Well keep going. 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.040 It's me and your man, MG Marcus Grant, joined by 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.759 Michael f. Florio and La Kwan Jones. Ear, gentlemen, you 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.320 guys are actually face to face in studio. I'm feeling 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:30.479 sort of left out, like I have other obligations in 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.360 the morning that prevented me from being there when you 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.199 guys are. But how is it being back in the 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:36.080 building at the moment? 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.000 Uh, this is my first time being in in a 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.199 few weeks, so I kind of walked in and I 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.040 was like, I hope everything's the same, And luckily. 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.280 It's all pretty much the same, pretty much the same, 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:49.840 just familiar faces like Yo, hey, what's up man? 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.559 And catch it up? You're there, Lakwan, you're there more 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.040 frequently than me and Mike are this season. 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:57.680 Yeah, definitely, you. 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:01.440 Have actual like in building duty. We just kind of 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.160 show up when we feel like it, or you know, 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.880 we're summoned by summoned by higher powers to be there. 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:08.360 That's kind of the only time this time of year 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:12.479 that we actually show up. Anyway, we got a lot 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:17.880 to talk about. Free agency starts in about a week. Officially, 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:22.600 the new league year starts one week from today. That 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.440 is when free agency deals can officially be signed. Of course, 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.720 we will have the negotiating period because the league doesn't 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.559 like the word tampering, So we've got the negotiating period 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.919 on Monday and Tuesday. Deals can officially be signed on Wednesday. 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.520 So we'll talk about some of the big names that 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.200 we think could be moving, some names that we already 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.840 know aren't going anywhere. At this point, Weilsell sort to 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.080 do a quick combine wrap up just some of the 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.560 things we saw in our observations from what happened over 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.960 the weekend in Indianapolis. But I want to start with 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.920 the biggest news of the last couple of days. I 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.760 was gonna say of the day, but this actually happened 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.040 on Monday. But we haven't been here to talk to 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:05.040 you since then. So the Broncos have told Russell Wilson 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.480 that he will be released. It was a tumultuous two 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:12.519 years in the Mile High City for dangerous I will 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.360 stay for the record, I actually thought it was gonna 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.639 work out. I was very surprised to see how badly 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.880 it went for Russell, Wilson and Abron. Look, I know 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.520 there's a lot of people out there with like Revision's 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.280 history who are, yeah, this is never gonna work. Russ 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:25.960 was always washed, And I'm like, I don't know that 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:30.720 that was the consensus. It was not at all, no, right, 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:32.800 I mean, I think the belief was he'd go to 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.280 Denver again. Yes, he was not the same guy at 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.040 the end of his time in Seattle that he was, 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:38.440 you know when they went to the super Bowl and 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.480 they won the Super Bowl. But I think most of 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.960 us believed that there was still something left in the tank. 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.280 Now that that question is sort of up in the air, 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.320 I was gonna ask a different question, but Flourida, I mean, 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.600 does Russ still have anything left at this point? 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:57.040 For first, anyone who is saying that they were adamantly 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.480 against this when it happened, I need to see proof. 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.720 Because everyone was on board with this. Remember it was like, oh, 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.680 it's Mahomes and the Chiefs gonna be able to win 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:11.560 the division again. That was a wave and everyone was 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.000 discounting the bad year in Seattle because of the broken 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.440 hand which Aaron Rodgers last year in Green Bay comes 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:22.480 to mind. Ken Russell Wilson still play. I still think 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.079 he's a starter at the NFL level. I'm not sure 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.000 if he's an above average starter, though at this point 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.679 I'm not in the camp of saying Russell Wilson was 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:33.919 horrible last year, but I'm also not in the camp 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.200 of that he was great. I think he was kind 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.440 of somewhere in the middle. I think some stats indicate 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.880 that he played well, but then there's like EPA. These 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.560 are the quarterbacks that he had a better EPA than 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.520 last year midimum two hundred attempts, Bryce Young, Sam Hall, 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.720 Zach Wilson, both Patriots quarterbacks, Josh Jobs, and Kenny Pickett. 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:52.440 That's it. 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.840 So that's not good. 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.080 He still does have the deep ball, I'll give him that. 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.920 I think he can be a type of game managing 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.960 quarterback that like you could win with if you have 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.880 good pieces around. I no longer think Russell Wilson is 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.160 the guy that can lift your team and carry you 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:14.600 to the playoffs or anything like that. 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.159 I mean to that point though, about the deep ball, 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:21.600 and I sawing with Dwayne McFarlane over at Fantasy Life, 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:24.240 who is incredibly smart and makes me better at this 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.200 job every time I talk to him, and he brought 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:30.960 up the point that teams nowadays, the way the NFL 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.560 plays defense, we see a lot more you know, too 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.840 high safeties. I mean, that was the talk about Patrick Mahomes. 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.279 Have people figured out Patrick Mahomes. They're putting two guys 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.160 back deep. They're not letting him throw the deep ball 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:45.520 that is becoming the norm among NFL defenses. So now 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.240 that takes away that big deep ball that we all 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.760 love from Russ right, those moonshots he would take down 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.960 the field, So that takes a big part of his 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.560 game away. He also is not the same runner that 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.800 he was earlier in his career, which you know that 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.200 happens right father time comes for us all. He doesn't 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.600 run the way he did earlier in his career. Those 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.560 were the two things that I think made Russell Wilson special. 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.599 When those aren't available to him anymore, it is naturally 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.240 going to be a struggle for him to be a 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.400 productive quarterback. I put out a poll on Twitter, which 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.599 you know, this is super scientific, so this is binding 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.919 and we know that this is going to be But 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.160 about thirty five percent of the people who responded said 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.120 that they don't think he's going to be a starting 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:33.919 quarterback next year. Dikes, I mean, Lukwon, do you I 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.880 know Florio said he thinks he'll be a starter. I 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.480 do think he's going to be a starter somewhere. Do 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.040 you believe he's going to be a starter? And where 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:43.120 possibly could that be? 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.920 I mean yes, I mean do we know right now? 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:49.880 Like are we knowing what the Steelers are dealing with 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.880 in the house right now? Like there's plenty of teams 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.279 that would love to have Russell Wilson as an upgrade 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.480 so they can have something to build off. I mean, honestly, DeLanda, 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.720 spots I got for him would be Atlanta because that 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.280 would be obviously funny for non football purposes. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:07.880 But but just put out what the non football purposes are, 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.800 Like you've teased it. You can't throw that conversation grenade 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:12.280 and walk away. Just put it out there. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:17.400 Well, Sierra Baby Daddy Future is an Atlanta native, So 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.680 going there, I'm pretty sure there's some type of tension 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.479 and he'll being close proximity of hearing his music in 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.320 the locker room, which I think will call some friction 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.360 and some mental games, so he's not going. 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:28.960 To allow it. 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.119 Allow Russ. Russ is a rules guy. First day of camp, 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.680 no future. I just want to see future in the stands, 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:40.760 like wearing the colors of every other team that plays 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:45.960 the found just sitting there just you know, wearing Saints 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:46.880 colors and stuff. 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.600 Oh my god, mental warfare during the game. But man, 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.640 I feel like if you put him with the Steelers, man, 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.560 I think that will fit his mold because you have 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.760 Author Smith over there so oc so we know they're 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.480 not going to be throwing the ball as aggressively then 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.240 you know they've done in the past. So you talk 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.960 about Russell Wilson as a game manager. Now, he doesn't 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.120 have the tools to run the ball. He doesn't have 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.400 that deep ball as much as he had before. You 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:11.840 need a guy that's going to come in and take 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.480 care of the ball, and that's one of the things 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.440 that he did last season. He had the fifth best 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.200 touchdown in interception ratio. I mean, you want a guy 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.120 that's going to go out there and not turn the 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.239 ball over a bunch of times. But when you're looking 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.120 at the Zach Wilson's, the Kenny Picketts, the mac Joneses 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.160 of the world, the Desmond Riders of the world, and 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.560 you know, you're looking at the Vikings that need a 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.040 you know, a replacement of the Kirk Cousins return from injury. 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.000 There's a lot of options where Russell Wilson going to 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.320 be a nice plug and play to elevate some of 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.840 the players that need some development, elevate some of the 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.440 veterans there that you know, on the back in their career. 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.400 So I think he could still be a starter man 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.920 because again, the word we should be using for him 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.680 is decent. Last year, he wasn't terrible, he wasn't great, 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.960 He was decent. He was a serviceable quarterback and that's 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.920 hard to find right now for some teams that are 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:57.160 struggling to find a quarterback. 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.280 Yeah, I mean I like that you said game manager 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.560 because I think that's sort of what he is now. 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.320 Where once upon a time he was he was the 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:09.640 playmaker right when when the Seahawks were great. Look, Russ 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.080 was the guy who kept the line moving. I mean, look, 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.920 it definitely helped that they had Marshawn Lynch, they had 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.200 some really good receivers, but there were so many times 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:18.680 and I look, I can tell you this is a 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.280 forty nine er fan. I'm sure you can say it. 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.200 As a Rams fan, there were so many times you 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.640 just sat and watched and you were cursing at the 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:29.080 television because Russ somehow got out of a pass rush 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.080 and you know, either scrambled for a first down or 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:36.240 he found somebody downfield, made a play and kept the chains. Movie. 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.520 I mean, everybody in the in the NFC West probably 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.960 has a similar story during Russell Wilson times. Those times 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:45.839 are gone, and and to your point, I think the 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.439 most common response that I got when I put the 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:53.560 question out there was Steelers, probably followed by Falcons. The 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.040 Raiders were another team that that sort of came up. 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.760 Raiders were one I could see a lot too. Yeah, 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.200 Russ could still lead, like he could still lead a 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.320 locker room, I believe. Uh. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.880 I do think russeans to change his style of play though, 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.679 like he's still holding the ball for far too long. Absolutely, 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.400 I agree, and like, look, most fans are gonna look 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.360 at the amount of sacks he takes and blame the 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.400 offensive line. It's like no, no, no. This has been a 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.720 Russell Wilson problem going all the way back to his 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.760 early Seattle days. Like he holds it too long, he 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.120 thinks he can avoid the pressure. He needs to learn 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:26.920 how to get the ball out of his hands quickly 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.520 and be that game managing style, because I think if 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.120 he could play how he did last year with cleaning 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.559 that up, because everyone loves to point out like, oh, 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.880 when a quarterback throws an interception, but a sack could 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.800 be a drive killing play just as much as an interception. 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:44.040 So range, Yeah, yeah, a lot. 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.440 There's a lot that it can do. So Russe needs 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.240 to clean up some stuff as well. But I think 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.440 if he can do that, he could still, like you 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.840 put him on the Steelers. They're they're probably be in 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:53.840 contention for the seven. 0:09:53.720 --> 0:10:01.440 Seed again this year. Goals Man hashtags low. Yeah, I mean, 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.360 I think to your point though too. Also, it is 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.760 easy to, you know, point out sacks as an offensive 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.520 line issue when it oftentimes can be a quarterback issue. 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.240 It can be a problem with a guy holding the 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.680 ball too long, not getting it out quickly. Yeah, there's 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.680 there's only so long you can ask guys to offer protection, 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:24.400 especially against good pass rushes, especially when teams are bringing 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.280 a whole lot of potential. So I do think that's 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.080 sort of something to kind of keep in mind, I'm 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.679 sitting here on philibusterings, I'm trying to look up, you know, 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.240 longest time to throw the football, and I would guess 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.640 that rust is probably high on that list. Yeah. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.719 I mean Denver's old line was pretty good last year 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.120 in my opinion. They were a top six top five 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.199 you know line last year in protection grade. As for PFF, 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.240 so those sacks that he was taking is on him 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.000 really have just him not. 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.559 Getting the side of it. Is like Patrick Mahomes and 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.600 Josh Allen are not the sacks the two least sex 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.880 quarterbacks in the NFL because of their O line. Like 0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.480 the quarter sacks are just as much a quarterback said. 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.440 As it is an off decision making and how long 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.720 you're holding onto the ball. It was a huge thing there. 0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:09.240 So minimum hundred and fifty drop backs, Russell Wilson had 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:13.520 the third highest time to throw. Uh. The only guys 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.760 who held the ball longer on average Nick Mullens and 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:22.560 Justin Fields Okay, the mobile Yeah right, I mean like 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.800 fields your finger like he's gonna get himself out of trouble. 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.560 Russ used to be able to do that. Can't do 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:28.679 that anymore. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:30.360 And I really want to know what Nick Mullens, what 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:31.480 goes through Nick mullens head. 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:37.680 I mean, right now, Nick Mullens is just like it 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.240 is probably like you know, a second and a half 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.520 of just loud screaming and they're like, I gotta get 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.319 rid of the ball. I don't do it. Four fifth 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:49.160 read back to the town. Yeah, So like that that 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:50.760 because there are things that Nick Bullins would do it. 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.000 I'm like, what what were you thinking? Were you thinking 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.800 at all? Like making that really what's going on here? 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:00.240 That that was a lot of what happened there. But 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:04.120 now for the Broncos, right because they don't have Russell 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:08.560 Wilson anymore right now. I mean, if you know, quote unquote, 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:12.320 if the season started today, Jared Stidham would be their 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:17.720 their starting quarterback. Florio, I don't believe Sean Payton wants 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.720 to go into the season with Jared Stidham at his 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.839 starting quarterback. But what do they do? I mean, do 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.600 they go harden free agency? Do they try and move 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.240 up and try to get one of these guys in 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.120 the draft? What is the best course of action? 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.160 The draft? I think is one hundred percent their best 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.040 course of action. And I'm so excited for the draft now, 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.440 because we know the top three picks are all in 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:42.600 play to be quarterbacks, but the Giants are heavily rumored 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.000 to be in play for a quarterback, and the Falcons 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.640 depending on what happens with Kirk Cousins. But if Kirk 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.440 Cousins goes to Atlanta, then eleven, twelve, thirteen becomes the 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.080 most interesting portion of the draft. I would say, because 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.120 you have the Vikings, the Broncos, and the Raiders, you 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.440 can make a case that all three of them could 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.240 be in the market for a quarterback. So do one 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.440 of these teams try to jump the others and move 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.240 into the top ten. Do we see a trade up 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:10.800 something like that? But unless the Broncos are gonna be 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.920 really aggressive, they're not gonna get Kleb, Jayden Daniels, probably not, 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:17.400 Drake May even JJ McCarthy might be out of their 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:18.840 range unless they're gonna jump up. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:20.400 Sounding like it, now, you got to jump up a 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:21.440 few picks to get that. 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.280 That's what it sounds. I think Bo Knicks is the guy. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.160 I could see Sean Payton being like a veteran guy 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:28.920 coming out of college who would get the ball out 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.200 of his hands very quickly. Has a strong arm, could 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.760 kind of operate the offense how we're saying rush should 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.840 like you take some deep shots occasionally, but a lot 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.880 of it is just on rhythm, like on schedule, getting 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.079 the ball out of your hands quickly. Bow Knicks could 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.240 kind of do that. And and if he's sorry, if 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.760 we're not talking about bo Knicks potentially to the Broncos. 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.400 I think it's very, very very possible we could see 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:52.760 six quarterbacks in the first round. 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.760 I like it, so I'm I'm pulling up mock drafts 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:01.080 right now on NFL dot Com and looking. Lances aer 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:06.280 Line has the Broncos trading up to number nine, trading 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:08.000 with the Bears getting up to number nine and taking 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:13.920 JJ McCarthy at that spot there. I'm curious if McCarthy's there, 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.360 just because all the hype about him in the last week, 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:22.120 especially post Combine. You know, I've seen people talk about 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.880 him as number one. I saw somebody put up put 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.120 out there that JJ McCarthy is their number one quarterback, 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.479 ahead of Caleb, ahead of Drake May, ahead of Jayden Daniels. 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:37.720 That to me feels, yeah, a little a little wicked aggressive. 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:40.920 I try to find the right word aggressive. Is the 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:42.160 word I'm gonna land on right here. 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:42.560 I didn't. 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:46.160 I just don't really see that being the case with McCarthy. 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.720 But nine, I think that's in play. 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.640 It's in playing because the Broncos are at twelve, I mean, 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.600 how aggressive, Like they honestly really don't have draft picks, 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.280 to be honest, Like they don't have like the ample 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.360 amount of quantity of draft picks. But they they have 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.480 two wide receivers they've been trying to move, you know, 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.480 for some time now. So the Bears could use another 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.440 wide receiver if they don't go at nine, taking Roma Doonzay. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.520 So you get a Courtland Sun or Jerry Judy, you 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.720 take your pick. But the Bears need weapons, They need 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.360 guys on the perimeter. They need wide receivers bad And 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.280 I think you can get a guy, you know, like 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.600 Gordon Sun and Jerry Judy if you let the Broncos 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.360 move up from twelve to nine. So that can only 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.600 be the way, honestly, for them to do anything aggressive 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.440 because they really don't have draft picks to share that 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:29.480 people are interested in. 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:35.520 For what it's worth. Bucky Brooks in his most recent 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.760 mock draft, which granted was a little over a week ago. 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:44.080 He's got the Broncos taking McCarthy at twelve. Charles Davis 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:48.040 has been taking bow knicks at twelve. So at least 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.000 it seems like most people believe they are going to 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.760 go get a quarterback in the draft, which, yeah, look, 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.520 it sort of makes sense, right, It doesn't really make 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.360 sense to go out and pay for a quarterback that 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.640 is going to be a bridge guy when right now 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:05.640 you're still a little ways away. I'm right. I mean, 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.720 like the the the raigning Super Bowl champs, the two 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:12.360 time raigning Super Bowl champs are in your division. The 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.720 Chargers have a new head coach to go along with 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:19.320 their franchise quarterback. The Raiders. I'm not really sure, but 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:23.520 the point being they're doing Broncos, they're doing things. If 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:25.880 you're the Broncos, I think the point is you do 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:27.880 have a couple of years to play with to try 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.600 and build the program, So why not get yourself a 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:34.080 rookie quarterback on that that rookie deal and try to 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.360 build from there. As of this moment, as we sit 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.440 here on March sixth, recording this thing in the morning, 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.560 are there any Broncos that any of you guys are 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:44.520 interested in in fantasy. 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:49.120 You go first, because no, no, nope, I evans No. 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.000 Look, we were talking before the show, me and the Kwan. 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.520 I said, Jerry Judy's career ended the Steve Smith night. 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.000 At least his Bronco career ended the night that Steve 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:02.400 Smith eviscerated him on. As Sutton is, he's a good 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:05.239 wide receiver, but we don't know where he's gonna end 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.920 up playing as of right now, which makes it very risky. Actually, 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.159 Marvin Mims, especially since this time of year, if we 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.440 drive season, I would take a shot on Marvin Mims. 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.720 I took him in our mock draft. But like even 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.760 Javonte Williams, I'm good on. Like I think Javonte just 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.280 gets over hyped at this point by the fantasy community. 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.359 I was a Javonte guy coming out. 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.480 Of college, but such a Javonte guy. 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.200 Yeah, We're multiple years into his career and he has 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.560 proven that he's just an RB two and I kind 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:33.800 of think that's what he is. 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.520 He got the chance. I'm still I'm not I'm not 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:42.560 letting go. And the fact that the fact is, the 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.679 fact is that the draft price is going to be 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.040 decent on him. He's not gonna have to pay up 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:50.439 to get Javonte Williams. No, you know, I just I 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.240 just need for Ryan to calm down a little bit. 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.320 Does look like it's gonna happen, because I literally was 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.919 just looking at their numbers. Man, they literally split the 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.480 entire targets, you know, out of the backfield. So there's 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.320 not much PPR upside. We could chase with the reason 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:09.040 for Javonte Williams, but like you said, his price is 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.560 going to be decent to where I can get him 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:12.440 as my RB three. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.240 Maybe things will change, maybe things will go more where 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.520 he'll take a workload because he was returning back from 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.040 injury as well, so they kind of probably slowed down 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.080 the space and I think, you know more so he 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.680 wasn't fully recovered, so that could have been why SOMEMANJ. P. 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:28.439 Ryan played so much. I mean their targets. Williams had 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:32.000 fifty eight, Pan had fifty six. Like pick a running 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:33.800 back you want to target to. But we know Sean 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.920 Payton likes throwing to his running backs because his time 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:37.920 in New Orleans. 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.320 So no team did it more last year than Denver, 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.240 which is why, like when we talk for agents, I 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.240 have a certain running back that I want to go there. 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:49.200 But uh my thing is like, if Davontae can't shake 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:53.520 Samaj p Ryan, it probably says some stuff about Javonte Williams. 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:58.240 Come on, I mean that's kind of harsh. 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:02.199 I mean, I just la la la la la la, 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:04.960 Like I don't but I just know that I remember 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.359 I had a sad when the Broncos drafted him because 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.879 they had Melvin Gordon and so that that made me 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:11.560 sort of sad. 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:13.360 And you know, Adam Rank tried to kind of talk 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:14.919 me down off the ledge and kind of got me 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:16.400 to buy in a little bit. Then, as you mentioned, 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.760 Lakwani did have the major injury. So I'm not I 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:21.800 think I'm realizing that he's not going to be the 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.879 back that I hoped he would be coming out of college. 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:27.600
