Where are you going? 41 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: I'm gonna kick it off with Latinikonky, who ended up 42 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: on the Chargers in the second round, talented wide receiver 43 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 2: out of Georgia. Just you know, with the Chargers losing 44 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: so many targets with Austin Eckler, Keenan Allen, and Mike 45 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: Williams on new teams. Just essentially, any wide receiver that 46 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: ended up on the Chargers, there's gonna be a great 47 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 2: landing spot. 48 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: You know. McConkie is a great fit too. 49 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: You know, he he can line up in the slot, 50 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 2: so he could take up a lot of those available 51 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 2: targets left behind like Kean Ellen. But he's also capable 52 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: of lining up outside as well, so you know, he 53 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: could be the number one target for the Chargers out 54 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: of the gate. He's attached to a very good quarterback 55 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 2: and Justin Herbert, So I just thought this was an 56 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: excellent landing spot form Conky, he's my wide receiver forty five. 57 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: He's being drafted around wide receiver thirty nine, which I 58 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 2: think is okay. I think he has the upside. He 59 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 2: has a very high floor and the high ceiling as 60 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 2: a rookie, so I'm okay drafting him inside the top forty. 61 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 2: But I was just in love with this landing spot 62 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: for McConkie. 63 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I've been following the Charger training camp. He's 64 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 3: been getting first team reps already both inside and outside. 65 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 3: So the role we kind of have projected for him, 66 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 3: because he's gonna need to be, you know, a first 67 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 3: team player to hit that ADP whether it's thirty nine 68 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 3: or forty five or whatever it is. But he is 69 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 3: getting those those those reps inside and outside. I think 70 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 3: the only thing I'm like a little bit scared of 71 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 3: is the Greg Roman effect, right, Like how because like justin, 72 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 3: Herbert's always been one of the highest volume quarterbacks in 73 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 3: the league. Do you think that carries over somewhat and 74 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 3: they kind of meet in the middle, or do you 75 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 3: think it's like a true lower volume Greg Row offense 76 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: or where are you I guess my question where are 77 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: you just like at this point in the offseason, kind 78 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: of projecting the charger pass attempt? I think that's a 79 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 3: really important question. 80 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm not projecting Herbert, you know, throwing more 81 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: than two seventy yards a game. I have it closer 82 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: like two forty five. Okay, But I think the case 83 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 2: is just you know, who the hell is he gonna 84 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: throw to? I mean they you know, I've always been 85 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: a big Josh Palmer fan, but he's not really a 86 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: number one wide receiver Quintin Johnson really struggle as a rookie. 87 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: I'm very concerned about him. 88 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: So I just think that McConkie's gonna take up, you know, 89 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: a pretty big portion of that pie, albeit it will 90 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 2: be lower again, like two hundred and forty five passing 91 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: yards a game for Herbert seems low, But I'm in 92 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: agreement with you. I think it is going to be 93 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: more of a run heavy offense. I mean, they have 94 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: both Ravens running backs, and Key Dobbins and Gus Edwards, 95 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: so I mean they're gonna be much more run heavy. 96 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: But in this case, you know, there's just so many 97 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 2: available targets. I don't think it really hurts mcconkye at all, 98 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 2: But yeah, I think Herbert will definitely take a step 99 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: back just because he lost so much talent around him. 100 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 2: So all of this is positive for McConkey, but for 101 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: justin Herbert in the passing offense as a whole certainly 102 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 2: going to take a step back this year. 103 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, And when you're looking for wide receiver value outside 104 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: of the you know, obvious guys probably the top thirty, 105 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 3: top thirty six, got those top thirty six guys. What 106 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 3: you're looking for is a kind of like a guaranteed 107 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 3: role like a floor and then a path to be, 108 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 3: you know, a top target on the team. And I 109 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 3: think McConkie does kind of satisfy both of those things because, 110 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: like you said, Joshua Palmer, you know, even if he 111 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 3: starts the season maybe drawing more targets, he's by no 112 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 3: means locked in as like a shore fire number one 113 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 3: wide receiver. And then Quentin Johnson. I'm sure they would 114 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 3: like that to happen, but this is a new regime, 115 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 3: Like they might just look at his tape last year 116 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 3: and say the hell with it. I mean, they did 117 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: spend a pretty high draft capital on mconkee, so that 118 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 3: already is bad news for Quentin Johnston as did so. 119 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I like him as well. I'm kind of 120 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: mad bestball drafters are so sharp with these rookies. Well, 121 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: like it's like I'm like trying to find rookie wide 122 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 3: receiver value. It's like Jesus, everyone's just well most at 123 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 3: their ceilings. 124 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, most rookies get drafted way too high this time 125 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: of year, and then it does cool off. It's just 126 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 2: after the draft, everyone's all excited to get rookies that 127 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: their ADPs are inflated. 128 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of inflated adpctive, Yeah, one of my favorite 129 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,559 Speaker 3: landing spots is start right at the top with Marvin 130 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: Harrison Junior to Arizona. Uh. And the reason I like 131 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 3: this is because I do prefer him to go to 132 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 3: a team like Arizona over a team like the Charges, 133 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 3: just because I think there's more pass volume gonna be there. 134 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 3: And then also because he could have gone to a 135 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: team like the Giants who just don't have as good 136 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 3: of a quarterback. So I think you have kind of 137 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 3: a decent compromise here with a pretty decent quarterback in 138 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 3: Kyler Murray. Yeah, probably gonna have a very bad defense, 139 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: Yet again, they were dead last and DVOA last year. 140 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 3: That should equate to lots of negative game scrit wats 141 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 3: of passing. You have a functional pass offense where it's 142 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 3: not like, you know, it's just Marvin Harrison is getting 143 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 3: triple teamed every time, like he's probably gonna get doubled 144 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: a lot. But you still have Trey mc bride. I 145 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 3: think Wilson, Michael Wilson came on. 146 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: Well. 147 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be a solid number two going forward. 148 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 3: And then also I think there's kind of some hidden 149 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,119 Speaker 3: upside here with Kyler Murray when you look at him 150 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,559 Speaker 3: with a guy with a true number one wide receiver, 151 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 3: the only one he's really had is DeAndre Hopkins. He's 152 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 3: played about half his career games with Hopkins, half without, 153 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 3: and with Hopkins he averages seven point seven yards in attempt, 154 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 3: one point seven touchdowns a game. Without Hopkins six point 155 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 3: six yards in attempt and just one point two touchdowns 156 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 3: a game. So I think you're gonna see a more 157 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 3: efficient Murray, which means, you know, more passing pie to 158 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 3: go around and into. You know, Harrison, I think right 159 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 3: away you project him for a pretty big target share 160 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: of that offense. So, uh, the landing spot like the 161 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 3: fact that it's a bad defense and the last place team, 162 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: but you still have a functional quarterback and a functional 163 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 3: pass offense and Kyler Murray, you know, and now he's 164 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 3: has a full offseason in this offense. You know, a 165 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 3: year two more continuity was hurt last year. So I think, 166 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: you know, I like the landing spot, No, not only 167 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 3: for Harrison, but I think it helps Kyler Murray a 168 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 3: lot as well. And I think Kyler Murray he's a 169 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: bigger threat to reach his ceiling than he would be 170 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 3: if if they had gone a different direction. And like 171 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 3: a guy like you know, Anthony Richardson, and a lot 172 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 3: of drafts goes ahead of Kyler Murray, I think Murray 173 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: has just as much, if not more upside as a 174 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 3: guy like Anthony Richardson. So I really like this spot 175 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 3: for Harrison but also for Kyler. 176 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, And you know, we've probably know, we 177 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 2: knew for a while that Harrison is probably gonna end 178 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: up in Arizona. But I agree that it's huge for 179 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 2: Kyler as well. I mean, Trey McBride's going to be 180 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: even better this year, and I like Michael Wilson as 181 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 2: their number two receiver as well. I think they're they 182 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: have a pretty good pass catching course. They brought in 183 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 2: z A Jones, so this is all good news for 184 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 2: Kyler Murray. But once again, ADP is pretty sharp. They 185 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 2: have Kyler eight, which makes sense. I think he should 186 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: be in the top ten. But yeah, like I would 187 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: not be shocked if Kyler has the top five season 188 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 2: because it's all come together from. 189 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 3: Just gotta stay healthy. Yeap, All right, who you got next? 190 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: It's another wide receiver. 191 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior ended up going to the Jaguars in 192 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 2: the first round. He's out of LSU, and you know, 193 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: there's a scenario where the Chargers potentially would have traded 194 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 2: down with the Vikings and grabbed Thomas with the twenty 195 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: third pick. I think that would have maybe been a 196 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 2: little bit better, but I don't mind. The Jaguars is 197 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 2: a lightning spot for him. You know, they have Christian 198 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: Kirk Evan Ingram will likely be the top two targets, 199 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 2: but I think Thomas could be the number three target 200 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 2: ahead of Gabe Davis. I don't think that Gabe Davis 201 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 2: is really a threat to Thomas Junior necessarily, So you know, 202 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: Thomas has a skill set to become a true number 203 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 2: one wide receiver. So I like his long term upside, 204 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: you know, being tied to Trevor Lawrence. Hopefully Trevor Lawrence 205 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 2: can finally, you know, make that turn and become you know, 206 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 2: a higher end quarterback. But I just like the setup 207 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 2: for Thomas Junior, who I like going into the draft, 208 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: and this is certainly one of the better landing spots 209 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 2: for him because I think in year one, you know, 210 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 2: he could establish himself at least as a top three target, 211 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: but potentially, you know, he could overtake someone like Christian Kirk. 212 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 2: But you know, he's my wide receiver forty six. He's 213 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 2: being drafted wide receiver forty two, so it's not that 214 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: far off. I think he's another guy that I could 215 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 2: make a case he has the upside at least to 216 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 2: take a flyer, you know, around the top forty. I 217 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: like his you know, his long term upside, and I 218 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: think this landing spot does give him a shot to 219 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 2: have a you know, solid rookie season. 220 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's another one of those guys with an outside 221 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 3: shot to even be like his team's number one target. 222 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, probably going to be Christian Kirk. But 223 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 3: and you know, Evan Ingram is a high volume guy. 224 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 3: But there's a shot because I think he especially with 225 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 3: the release of Jay Jones, I think it kind of 226 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 3: telegraphs what their attentions are, which is to give him, 227 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 3: you know, one of the you know, one of those 228 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 3: outside starting spots, essentially Ridley's, you know, kind of that spot, 229 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 3: and then gave Davis. I think gave Davis will be 230 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 3: I've been drafting a lot of gave Davis as well, 231 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 3: just because their ADP's have diverged so much that you know, 232 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 3: I think we learned to follow the money to with 233 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 3: the with the Jags. Remember when everyone was kind of 234 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 3: chatting them for uh for giving all that money to 235 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: Christian Kirk and then they they've been using him and 236 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: he's been a top Fantasy receiver. So I'm not down 237 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: on Gave Davis because of Thomas, but I do agree. 238 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 3: I think the Jaguars, we know what they do. They 239 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 3: remember when they had I think it was Zay Kirk 240 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 3: and Marvin Jones that first year two years ago, and 241 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 3: then like those guys are all on the field like 242 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 3: ninety percent of the time plus. So I think that's 243 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 3: kind of what you're gonna see with this Jags offense. 244 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 3: If they can, if they could swing it, like, you're 245 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 3: just gonna see the top three receivers hardly ever coming 246 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 3: off the field. I think they're gonna run a lot 247 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 3: of one one personnel or even more than they have 248 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 3: been in the past. And uh, yeah, I think Thomas 249 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 3: has a path to a very good, you know, top 250 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 3: thirty six, maybe even top twenty four season if one 251 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 3: thing's brick right. 252 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, And Gabe Davis is the perfect best ball, yeah, guy, 253 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 2: because you don't need to figure out when he's gonna 254 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 2: have his spiked week. So his ADP's you know, wide 255 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 2: receiver sixty two absolutely targeted there. And you know Brian 256 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: Thomas Junior is similar where you know, he's an excellent, 257 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 2: you know, deep threat, could be a red zone target. 258 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: So even if he's inconsistent, he does possess those two 259 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 2: traits that help him best ball where he's going to 260 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 2: have those spike weeks maybe similar to Gabe where we 261 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 2: don't really know when those are going to come. But 262 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: that's why, you know, for best ball, Brian Thomas Junior 263 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 2: could be you know, a really good rookie. 264 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I think the key is is the 265 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 3: release of Jones because without that, now you're looking at 266 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 3: I guess like a Jones always seems to be the 267 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 3: thorn in somebody's side. I guess that always seems to 268 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 3: outplay expectations. And he may have, you know, caused Thomas 269 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 3: to start the year on the bench or is it 270 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 3: the number four or something like that, especially with all 271 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 3: the money they gave Day they gave Gabe, but with 272 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 3: him gone, Yeah, I think Tom's kind of almost certainly 273 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 3: locked into a starting spot. Next for me is a 274 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 3: guy not necessarily locked into a starting spot. But in 275 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: terms of just pure landing spot, I think Kean Coleman 276 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 3: to Buffalo is a great spot because he has he's 277 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: gonna have a chance to be their number one receiver. 278 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 3: Now will he take advantage of it, that's yet to 279 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: be seen. But if you look at the depth chart, 280 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 3: you're talking about Curtis, Samuel Khalil, Shakir Valdez, Scantling, Mac Collins, 281 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 3: Chase Claypole, Justin Shorter, Andy Isabella kJ Hamdler. I mean 282 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 3: a guy who is drafted with the what is a 283 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 3: thirty third overall pick definitely has a chance to beat 284 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 3: those guys. Now, you know a lot of people look 285 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 3: at his forty times and saying that he's not fast enough, 286 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 3: But if you watch him play, I think he plays 287 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 3: a lot faster than that. I think he you know, 288 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,599 Speaker 3: he had a really good like ten yard shuttle, so 289 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 3: I think he plays faster than that forty. I think 290 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 3: Buffalo drafted him with the hoax that he can be 291 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: a number one wide receiver because if you just look 292 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 3: at the depth chart, I mean, who else you really 293 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 3: looking at to fill that role. I mean, I think 294 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 3: Samuel could continue kind of doing what he's been doing 295 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 3: at Washington, Jaki can kind of take a step forward 296 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 3: and be a little bit more of a higher volume guy. 297 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 3: But over like, if you're talking about a true number 298 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 3: one receiver, I think Coleman's still your best bet. So 299 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 3: the opportunity is there. He played seventy percent out wide, 300 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: thirty percent in the slot last season at Florida State 301 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 3: six hundred and fifty eight yards eleven scores, but he 302 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 3: did have a forty percent dominator rating, which means forty 303 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 3: percent of their receiving yards and touchdowns come on. So 304 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 3: I like, I'm intrigued. I'm you know, I think there 305 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 3: is there's like this could go a lot of different 306 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 3: ways with all these veterans here, but get based on 307 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 3: pure landing spot. You have a chance to be Josh 308 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 3: Allen's number one receiver, maybe number two target because Kim 309 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 3: k could still out target whoever their number one receiver is. 310 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 3: But anytime you have a chance to be Josh allen 311 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 3: number one receiver, and he's going pretty reasonable ADP. It's 312 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 3: it's around like wide receiver sixty. I'll take a shot 313 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 3: on that all day. 314 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I would say Kinkaid's the heavy favorite 315 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: to be the number one target. I could even see 316 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 2: James Cook being the number two target. It's just it's 317 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: wide open, right who's going to be the top receiver. 318 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 2: And Kean Coleman is certainly in that discussion. That's that's 319 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: the ideal landing spot for a rookie wide receiver. 320 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: So I agree. I don't know how it's going to 321 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: shake out. 322 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 2: They have a bunch of slot guys now, they have 323 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 2: mbs and bigger body guys like Chase Packbull, Matt Collins. 324 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 2: I don't know who's going to replace the digs role. 325 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: So yeah, Kean Coleman, could you know, just immediately get 326 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: one hundred plus targets as a rookie. So love his 327 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 2: like he has a high floor, I think, and his 328 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: ceiling is high as well. 329 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 3: I mean, even if he's in the Gave Davis role. 330 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 3: I mean Gave Davis, I believe he never finished lower 331 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 3: than wide receiver fifty four. So even if he's in 332 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 3: the Gave Davis role even as a rookie, I think 333 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 3: Davis finished in the top fifty five, So I think 334 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 3: there's still some value here. On Coleman as long as 335 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 3: he can nail down like a starting spot, which I mean, 336 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 3: looking at this depth trot, I think he should. But yeah, 337 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 3: like still still something to monitor, But I like taking 338 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 3: that fly because there's a lot of upside there. All Right, 339 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 3: who you got next? 340 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 2: Let's go with a running back. I'm gonna go with 341 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 2: Bucky Irving ended up with the Buccaneers fourth round pick 342 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 2: out of Oregon. It wasn't a very good running back 343 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 2: class this year, and the best landing spot for anybody 344 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 2: probably would have been Dallas, assuming they would just use 345 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: them as the workhorse and not bring back Zeke. But 346 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 2: you know, I thought Bucky landing in Tampa Bay was 347 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: a good landing spot for him. You know, he's a 348 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: smaller back. He's a good receiving back, so he could 349 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 2: carve out, you know, a third down role potentially as 350 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 2: a rookie. But I think just backing up Rashaud White 351 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: has a path to some success because you know White, 352 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 2: I like him as a you know, running back, but 353 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: he just hasn't been efficient in the NFL. You know, 354 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 2: he only averaged three point six yards per carry last year, 355 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 2: but he saw you know, nearly three hundred and fifty touches, 356 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 2: so you know, he was very good for fancy managers 357 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: that you know took a flyer on him last year, 358 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 2: but that was mainly due to just none of the 359 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 2: backups were able to step up. And you know, Todd 360 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 2: Bowles has mentioned that that he wants to lighten White's 361 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 2: workload and has been talking up Irving and you know, 362 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: saying they want more efficiency out of the running back position. 363 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 2: So I think Irving has a shot at least to 364 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 2: carve out big enough role to offer fancy value even 365 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 2: when White is healthy. But you know, there's also a 366 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 2: slight chance he could leap frog him. I can't really 367 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: say that about most rookie running backs where they landed. 368 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 2: So I think Irving just checks all the boxes of 369 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 2: you know, a pretty good landing spot and what I 370 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 2: thought was a pretty poor class. So you know, I 371 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 2: have him right around running back sixty ADPs, round RB 372 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 2: fifty five. 373 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: So these are just backup running backs. We're taking a 374 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: flying around. 375 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 2: But I think there is a path for him to 376 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 2: have success even if White does stay healthy all year. 377 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know, like week one, they probably 378 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 3: envisioned him. I think they would love it if he would, uh, 379 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 3: you know, win that Chase Edmund roll from last year, 380 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 3: but you kind of hit on it. White had three 381 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty touches. Running Backs usually don't play a 382 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 3: full compliment of games the year after touching the ball 383 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 3: like that. And I mean, Rashad White's not Derrick Henry, 384 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 3: so right, I mean, I think there's a pretty solid 385 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 3: chance that White gets hurt this year. So if Irving 386 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 3: is able to win that number two job over Chase Edmonds, 387 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 3: then it gets really interesting because then I mean where 388 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 3: would he be in like your running back upside ran 389 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 3: because like do you think him and somebody else still 390 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 3: form a committee or like do you think if if 391 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 3: he was a number two, would he just get like 392 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 3: the White the full like featured workload or what do 393 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 3: you think would happen? 394 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: Yeah? 395 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 2: I think like, if you know, White, we're out a 396 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 2: couple of games. I think Irving could you know, see 397 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: twenty plus touches the game. He's not that type of 398 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 2: back who can do that over or you know, five 399 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 2: plus games, but certainly as like a spot starter, I 400 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 2: think he's capable of that. I guess he would split 401 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 2: the load with Chase Edmonds. Sean Tucker, you know, struggle 402 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 2: as a rookie. I was disappointed at him. They just 403 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 2: don't really have That's kind of the point. They don't 404 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 2: really have anybody else that would step up. Maybe in 405 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 2: this situation like that where White miss missus extended time, 406 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 2: they bring an a vet. But I just think that 407 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 2: just based on the metrics and what Bulls has been saying, 408 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 2: they just haven't been that pleased with White. They just 409 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 2: haven't had a reason to give touches anyone else. I mean, 410 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 2: Chase Edmonds barely stepped up last year when he was healthy. 411 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 2: So I think they're just welcoming, you know, the potential 412 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 2: of more of a split backfield than I think most 413 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 2: people are realizing. So I think there's a reason they 414 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 2: took Irving in the fourth round. I think they really 415 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 2: do want more of a committee than last year. 416 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a good point, though they could, like 417 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 3: they could sign somebody. I guess if White went down, 418 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 3: because I'm looking at Irving now, he had two career 419 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 3: games of twenty or more carries, so yeah, they probably 420 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 3: would hesitate to give him a full workload. But yeah, 421 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 3: he would so he would probably have to be kind 422 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 3: of like one of those like Rico Dowdell, you know, 423 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 3: one be kind of guys who pops off in that offense. 424 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 3: Buccaneers just need to get better on the offensive line. 425 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 3: I think they were twenty ninth in PFF run block 426 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 3: grade last It wasn't all it wasn't all Whites. 427 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: It wasn't all White's fault. 428 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 2: His yards per carry, that's also an offensive line a 429 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 2: stat and I think you know. 430 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: They know that. 431 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 2: But Irving he's the kind of guy where he can 432 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 2: he's really explosive, so he can do a lot of 433 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 2: damage with just a handful of touches. So that's that's 434 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: why I mean, his upside is limited because we just 435 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 2: kind of said that he's not really a twenty plus 436 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 2: touches guy. But in part of the committee, I think 437 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 2: you know, he would offer value if if he were able. 438 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: To force, you know, more of a timeshare. 439 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, this bucks this do what do you think of 440 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 3: this bucks A line this year? By the way, any thoughts, 441 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 3: I mean, i'd like Goodecki actually played better last year 442 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 3: at tackle, but there's still a lot of question marks 443 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 3: about this interior, which is not good for White or 444 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 3: anybody on his team. 445 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: Right. 446 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, No, the offensive line is an issue. I mean, 447 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 2: they've kind of been in rebuilding. Well, they lost a 448 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 2: lot of talent. I think once Ellie Moore Pett retired 449 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 2: that was the beginning of the downfall of the Buccaneers 450 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 2: offensive line. So yeah, they got work to do. That's 451 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 2: why I'm saying it. When you look at Rashaud White's stats, 452 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 2: his poor efficiency, that is not necessarily an indictment and White, 453 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 2: if anything, it's just the offensive line struggles. But that's 454 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 2: kind of why you would want a player like Bucky Irving, 455 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 2: who's a good pass catching back, get him some space 456 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 2: and maybe reinvent how they kind of you run the ball. 457 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, no, the offensive line I think is still 458 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: going to be an issue this year. All right. 459 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 3: Next up for me, I like the landing spot for 460 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 3: Xavier Worthy. I mean, how can you not get a 461 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 3: wide receiver out of Texas? Go twenty eighth overall to 462 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 3: the Chiefs. And essentially the reason I like him is, 463 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 3: you know, this question marks about how good of a 464 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 3: receiver he is. But at the end of the day, 465 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 3: a four to twenty one, four point twenty one forty 466 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 3: yard dash, you're pairing outlier speed with the outlier quarterback. 467 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 3: I'll take my chances with that. I think that's a 468 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 3: really cool pairing, especially when you have a guy like 469 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 3: Andy Reid who's gonna be able to scheme some things up. 470 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 3: And you know, maybe he was Worthy the way he 471 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 3: was trying to use guys like Canarius, Tony and McCole Hardman, 472 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 3: you know, in the short area as well. And Worthy 473 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 3: can also go and get it down the field. He 474 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 3: can play inside outside sixty forty wide slot. Last season 475 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 3: at Texas, she Rice could draw a suspension, which things 476 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 3: then things will get really interesting because Travis Kelce he 477 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 3: is thirty five, so like at some point he's gonna 478 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 3: slow down. But even if he doesn't, he got Marquis 479 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 3: Brown on a one year prove it deal. You know, 480 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 3: MVS is out of the picture. He was playing a 481 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 3: lot of snaps, So either way, I think there's a 482 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 3: path for Worthy, especially in basketball, you know, to have 483 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 3: some some big games. And this is the most draft 484 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 3: capital that the Chiefs have used on a wide receiver 485 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 3: in the Andy Reid era, which is kind of saying 486 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 3: something because you know they've had, you know a lot 487 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 3: of guys kind of come in and out, a lot 488 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 3: of rookie wide receivers that we've been hyped out about 489 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 3: even in just the mahomes that are alone. So the 490 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 3: fact that they went and got this guy outlier speed, 491 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 3: I think they do have a plan for him and 492 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 3: Rashid Rice's legal issues might accelerate things a little bit 493 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 3: because but I like the way they you know, Rice, 494 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 3: even last year, they were willing to use him even 495 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,719 Speaker 3: as a rookie on a Super Bowl defending team. Uh, 496 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 3: high volume guy down the stretch. I think Worthy has 497 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 3: a chance, if he plays well early on h to 498 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 3: really carve out a big role for this team down 499 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 3: the stretch and headed into the postseason where he's just 500 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 3: going to create nightmares for opposing defense. 501 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:01,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 502 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 2: No, this is a great landing spot for him. They're 503 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: obviously going to capitalize on his speed. And like you said, 504 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: he's he's perfect for Best Ball because you know, he'll 505 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 2: probably have some duds throughout the season if he's just 506 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 2: more than justin Watson MBS deep threat role. But he's 507 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 2: gonna have some spike beaks in best Ball. That's what 508 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 2: you're looking for. And Yeah, when it comes to where 509 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,719 Speaker 2: she writes, it seems like every day his odds of 510 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 2: getting suspended go up. It just keeps getting worse. So 511 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: if that does happen, that's just gonna you know, accelerate Worthyes, 512 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 2: you know, need to be one of the top targets 513 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 2: in this offense. 514 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember people were drafting Cadarius Tony inside the top. 515 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: Fifty last year this time last year. 516 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, where these probably gonna be what people wanted Tony 517 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 3: to be at least to start, like kind of like 518 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 3: a guy who he probably won't play a ton of 519 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 3: like a high percentage of snaps early, but his target 520 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 3: rate when he's on the field will probably be pretty high. 521 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 3: And then you know, if he can carve out more 522 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 3: of a every down or you know, regular role, then 523 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 3: things will start to really take off. But yeah, I 524 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 3: don't think there's a better landing spot for a guy 525 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 3: like this than Kansas City. All right, who who you 526 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 3: got next? 527 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 2: Let's go at the quarterback JJ McCarthy to the Vikings. 528 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 2: They traded up one slot to get him with pick 529 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: ten out of Michigan. You know, he's probably gonna be 530 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 2: more of like a game manager. I think, like an 531 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 2: Alex Smith. Comp for him makes sense, So he's you know, 532 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: gonna be only as good as his supporting cast. So 533 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 2: I think the landing spot for him was critical. There 534 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 2: was a chance the Patriots were going to take him 535 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 2: at number three, would not like that landing spot. You know, 536 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 2: he'd be throwing to you know, Jamario Douglas and Hunter 537 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 2: Henry and whoever the hell else. They have the wide 538 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 2: receiver room now, but now he gets Justin Jefferson, Jordan 539 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 2: Edison and TJ. Hawkinson to throw to. As a rookie, 540 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 2: there's a chance that he does open up the season 541 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 2: as a backup. They have odds up for you know, 542 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 2: who's gonna be the week one starter. He's only plus 543 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 2: one twenty two, so Sam Darnold's, you know, the slight favorite. 544 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 2: But I think that if he doesn't begin the season 545 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,199 Speaker 2: as a starter, it'll just be a you know, a 546 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: couple of weeks, I think, until he takes over. You know, 547 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: they're gonna want to see what he has as a rookie, 548 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 2: so you know, just this is a situation where you 549 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 2: know he's probably should be drafted, you know, in that 550 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 2: QB twenty five to you know, thirty range, just given 551 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: just his surrounding talent, he. 552 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: Does have some upside. 553 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 2: But I thought this is a really good landing spot 554 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 2: for McCarthy specifically. 555 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean anytime you're throwing at Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, 556 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 3: I mean Haston. We'll see if, like when when his 557 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 3: timeline is, but just those two guys alone, I mean, 558 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 3: that's a great spot for a rookie quarterback. And I 559 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 3: think O'Connell is a very good offensive Yeah, called coach 560 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 3: as well. One of my favorite questions for you this 561 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 3: time of year. You know, we don't have the micro 562 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 3: breakdowns of every quarter of you know, quarterbacks, each training 563 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 3: camp rep and his completions and is incomplete and all 564 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 3: that stuff. But just right now, at this point in 565 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 3: the off season, what is your projected split for game started, 566 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 3: like for McCarthy versus Donald. 567 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 2: I have a fourteen games for McCarthy and Donald three. 568 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 2: So I do think that Donald will probably begin the 569 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 2: season as a starting quarterback, and the likely scenario is 570 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 2: McCarthy takes over in week two or three. But you know, 571 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 2: we'll see what happens during training camp and everything. I 572 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 2: still think there's a shot that you know, McCarthy, you know, 573 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 2: will start week one, but right now I'm playing it safe. 574 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 2: Fourteen three in favor of McCarthy, how about you. 575 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I have about thirteen four like same in that role. 576 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 3: You know, there's definitely some question marks at this point, 577 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 3: but you know, I'll if McCarthy plays well, you know, 578 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 3: I'll increase him. I think that that week two after 579 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 3: week two is interesting because week one, I mean, like 580 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 3: Vikings are at the Giants, like if Sam Donald can't 581 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 3: hold the job like three weeks, I shouldn't. I shouldn't 582 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 3: say that because the Giants. I mean, now we got 583 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 3: Ryan Burns, so I mean we got a pretty scary 584 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 3: d line. But still week two, though they play San 585 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 3: Francisco like they could get destroyed. Donald could get destroyed 586 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 3: by the Niners, and you know, the Vikings lose like 587 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 3: forty four to seven or something, and then yes, right, 588 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 3: it's might as well make the switch. But they also 589 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 3: have a week's early by a week six by, which 590 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 3: is why I'm being a little conservative, because I they're 591 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 3: also if for some reason Donald does start the year, 592 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 3: they might let him, you know, go through the buy 593 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 3: and then make the switch. 594 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: At that's a good point. I could yeah, yeah, I 595 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: could see that. 596 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 2: And I think when it comes to these qbs in 597 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 2: this range where we're not projecting these quarterbacks to play 598 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 2: as many games as possible as long as they're healthy. 599 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 2: Is like comparing the Raiders. You know, Gardner Minch and 600 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 2: a O'Connell. I don't know how many games either quarterback 601 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 2: is going to start, but like McCarthy, I think it's 602 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 2: safe to say the second half of the second half 603 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 2: of the season, you would expect him to be starting. 604 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 2: When it comes to Menshaw O'Connell, I have no idea, 605 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 2: So I'd rather target somebody like McCarthy, where I'm more 606 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 2: confident that he will be starting in the second half 607 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: of the season, because that's when you know your other 608 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 2: quarterback might have a buy or might be missing time. 609 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 2: So I think it's important to think of that context 610 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 2: of if you're not projecting him to start every game, like, 611 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 2: how do you envision the second half going. If it's 612 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 2: still murky, then I would go with the player like McCarthy. 613 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 2: I'm pretty confident he'll be starting the second half of 614 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 2: the season. 615 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: That makes sense. 616 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, screw the Raiders. Like I don't even want to 617 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 3: think about the Raiders and everything. They have two quarterbacks that, 618 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 3: like I have to project the equal number of starts. 619 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 3: They have two tight ends that well, they they. 620 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 2: Thought Pennick, they thought that Pennix was gonna make it 621 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 2: to them at thirteen. 622 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how they wouldn't. 623 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, no one saw what what the Falcons did come in, 624 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 2: so I don't I can't blame the Raiders for what 625 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 2: happened there, but I think they were playing on Pennix 626 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 2: being the starting quarterback this year. 627 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I don't like Raiders played the board probably 628 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 3: the way they should have. It's just I mean, for fantasy, 629 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 3: it's not fun to project though, That's what I'm saying. 630 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 3: But yeah, no, I mean, going back to McCarthy, I 631 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 3: feel like every Vikings quarterback last year had fantasy value 632 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 3: at some point, Like Josh Dobbs had some big games. 633 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 3: Cousins obviously, who was it Jared All I mean, if 634 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 3: you extrapolate his first one quarter again out, yeah, I 635 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 3: think he would have even have had a good game. 636 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 3: And then there was Nick Mullens had a couple of 637 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 3: monster games. So it's like, at this point, I feel 638 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 3: like you're prone to Jefferson and Addison and like you said, 639 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 3: you know Hockinson too. At some point it's hard to 640 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 3: have to be too bad. So it's just it's really 641 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 3: just a matter of how quick we can McCarthy get 642 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 3: this job, because if he does, I think he'll have, 643 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 3: you know, some situational upside depending on you know, the matchup, 644 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 3: Like not every matchup, but if he's playing you know, 645 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 3: Detroit indoors, like, yeah, give me some JJ McCarthy, and 646 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 3: I think let's see they have. Yeah, they because they 647 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 3: the tough part of their schedule is, you know, early 648 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 3: on after that Giants game versus San Francisco, versus Houston 649 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 3: at Green Bay versus the Jets, and a bye, and 650 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 3: then they come out to buy Detroit indoors at the Rams, 651 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 3: indoors against the Colts Indoors at Jacksonville, warm Weather at Tennessee, 652 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 3: Easy at Chicago, probably Easy versus Arizona, Easy versus Atlanta, 653 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 3: probably indoors in the Easy versus Like that second half 654 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 3: of the schedule sets up really well for some some 655 00:31:54,920 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 3: nice passing conditions and some potential shootouts. So yeah, I 656 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 3: think McCarthy has some nice upside, nice landing spot for him. 657 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 3: Speaking of the Rams, I'm gonna close it out with 658 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,479 Speaker 3: a guy who, like you mentioned, there's his running back 659 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 3: class and not the greatest didn't love most of the 660 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 3: landing spots for these running backs because there just wasn't 661 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 3: a lot of great running back landing spots, so you 662 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 3: kind of got to squint a little bit to see 663 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 3: to see it. But I do like Lake Korum to 664 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 3: the Rams. And the reason why is, at first you 665 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 3: look and you say, Okay, Karen Williams, he was getting 666 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,239 Speaker 3: like twenty plus carries every game, He's playing almost all 667 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 3: the snaps. Why would you like Quorum to the Rams? Well, 668 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 3: for precisely that reason, because Kyen Williams is five ft nine, 669 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 3: one hundred and ninety five pounds, he missed twelve games 670 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 3: over the past two years, and the Rams were fifth 671 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 3: in the league in running back rushing attempts last year 672 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 3: at four hundred and fourteen. So spending a third round 673 00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 3: pick on Korum, who's also kind of like a he's 674 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 3: a little bigger than Williams but can also play all 675 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 3: three downs, I think that you know, Quorum can play 676 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 3: himself into a role and kind of take some of 677 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 3: the burden off Williams. But Williams is also I think 678 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 3: a pretty big injury risk, and to that point, he's 679 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 3: already out a month with a foot issue in Ota, 680 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 3: so he's gonna he's gonna miss the next month. That 681 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 3: gives Korum, you know, some chances to familiar, you know, 682 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 3: get more first team reps, more, you know, more reps 683 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 3: with the with the starting unit. And you know McVeigh 684 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 3: over the last really last year in particular, transition more 685 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 3: from like his zone scheme to more of a gap scheme. 686 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 3: And he was sixty two percent gap last year. Korum 687 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 3: at Michigan sixty six percent gap. So I think he 688 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 3: fits with the Rams are trying to do. I think 689 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 3: if Kired Williams went down, there's a chance Quorum is 690 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 3: that kind of that same kind of back in terms 691 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 3: of fantasy and gets that full featured workload. 692 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 2: Uh. 693 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 3: And I think even if not, there's still a lot 694 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 3: more carries than people realized to go around for a 695 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 3: pretty good Ram offense. And they were trying at times 696 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 3: to kind of spell Karen Willis. I mean, they had 697 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 3: was it, Royce, Freeman and Henderson. They were trying to 698 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 3: find guys to do it, and they just couldn't. So 699 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 3: they just you know, reverted back to giving Williams all 700 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 3: the carries, but again a third round draft capital for 701 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 3: a team that was kind of on the brink, you know, 702 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 3: right there, like wild card team, but probably has more 703 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 3: upside for them. Just been a third round pick on 704 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 3: a running back that's pretty significant draft capital. So I 705 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,320 Speaker 3: think there is a plan to get him involved right away, 706 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 3: and Kyron Williams already being injured just I think raises 707 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:41,280 Speaker 3: the ceiling for Quorum to potentially, you know, have some big, 708 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 3: big weeks if Williams misses top Yeah. 709 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was a fan of this landing spot was 710 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 2: well obviously if he ended up in Dallas, that would 711 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 2: have been the ideal landing spot. But I agree everyone 712 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 2: like Kyen Williams. I was high on him as a rookie, 713 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,240 Speaker 2: but I didn't envision him being a twenty plus touches 714 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 2: game kind of guy. He was like a like a 715 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 2: James White type of guy, where you know, I thought 716 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,439 Speaker 2: he's gonna be a really good pass catching back. So yeah, 717 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 2: I don't think he can withstand like a full season 718 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 2: taking twenty plus touches. So they drafted Korum, you know, 719 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 2: knowing that, and I think he's going to have a 720 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 2: big role than people realize, even when Kyrin is healthy, 721 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,720 Speaker 2: and like you just mentioned, he's dealing with the foot 722 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 2: injury now, So I think that's you know, good news 723 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 2: for korm Stock as a rookie, but you know, long term, 724 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 2: I think this is you know, a good landing spot 725 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 2: for Korn. 726 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: Yeah. 727 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 3: Kyarin Williams at Notre Dame topped out at about two hundred, 728 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 3: just under two hundred and fifty touches in a season, 729 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 3: I guess his max. And then last year two hundred 730 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,760 Speaker 3: and sixty. But he was kind of you know, hurt, 731 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 3: you know, on and off, and now he's hurt again. 732 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think, I mean, he's great when he's healthy, 733 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 3: and but yeah, I think that he's like my my 734 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 3: antendants are a little bit raised with him, and like, 735 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 3: I hate, I hate this part of the year when 736 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 3: you kind of have to try to adjust running backs 737 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 3: for like potential games missed and stuff like that, because 738 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 3: it's so difficult. But Kyrian Williams is like, I'm I'm 739 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 3: getting a little bit worried about him just because you know, 740 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 3: you have all the red flags, like the size, like 741 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 3: a career high and touches. You know a bunch of 742 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 3: different injuries that have caused him to miss miss a 743 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 3: chunk of time, you know, in both of his pro seasons. Like, 744 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 3: it's just it's getting a little bit worrisome here. So yeah, 745 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 3: I think Koram is a guy who uh like, at 746 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 3: first glance it doesn't look like it, but I think 747 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 3: really good landing spot for him, uh in la. And 748 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,760 Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if, if, if Williams does suffer 749 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 3: like a significant injury, if Korum ends up being uh 750 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 3: the most productive of rookie fantasy back, because I mean, 751 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 3: he's you know, he's going up against Brooks, who you know, 752 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 3: if he's he's back, we'll see what if he gets 753 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 3: that feature role right away and then Benson who's kind 754 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 3: of dependent on Connor a little bit. But I think 755 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 3: Korum's in that mix now, especially with Williams already banged up. 756 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 3: All Right, That that was a that was a good discussion. 757 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 3: Nice to get get back to talking some fantasy here. 758 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,280 Speaker 3: That'll do it for this episode of the Fantasy Flex. 759 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 3: For more fantasy content from Showing it myself, remember Fantasy 760 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 3: labs dot com.
