I mean, not gonna lie. 6 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: It was nice to have a month off. Well I was. 7 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: I was about to say, you got some quality time 8 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: with with baby Q got some quality time with the kid. 9 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: I also, as I told you guys before, we started out, 10 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: some quality time with Disney Plus. And I'm like, I'm 11 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: about I've binged about three and a half seasons of 12 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: Clone Wars, which I've said in the FABS, it makes 13 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: me want to go back and watch the prequels again. 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: It adds some depth to the prequels that wasn't there 15 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: necessarily in the movie. So now I want to go 16 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: back and like, I even might be willing to sit 17 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: through Attack of the Clones again. Yeah, but that's I mean, 18 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: that's Clone Wars is good. The prequels a tough watches, 19 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: but but yeah, I mean I think if you watch 20 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: Clone Wars and I don't know, want you tuned in 21 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: to hear me talk about Clone Wars. But whatever, Um, 22 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't add some things that like they couldn't either 23 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: they couldn't or chose not to get too in the movies, 24 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: and it it adds some depth to all this talk 25 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: about like you know, trade negotiations and like the battle 26 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: between the Republic and the separatist It adds some depth 27 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: to it. So you know, if you haven't watched Clone Wars, 28 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: I recommend it. The final season is now airing a 29 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: week by week on Disney Plus. So yeah, it's a 30 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: it's a good watch.

So, uh, 48 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: we will talk some of the combine. I mean, it 49 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: won't be a deep conversation because look, most of the time, 50 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: your opinions have been formed before now. But there were 51 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: some guys who performed well some guys who maybe weren't 52 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: quite as good. So we'll talk a little bit about 53 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: some of the risers of the followers, uh, you know, 54 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: some of the guys who had big standout performances as well. 55 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: But then we will go behind the glass first and 56 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: say hello to our faithful producers. And you're Edward L. Murphy, 57 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: Esquire MP Marcus, I'm I'm thrilled your back and uh, 58 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: in the spirit of the combine, as the non daddy 59 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: duty of the last month, what's your what is your combine? 60 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: Your your best, like, you know, not your forty or 61 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: your bench right as a dad, what's your best drill? 62 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: All you did? Was it the you know, feeding the 63 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: baby and changing the diaper? Like, man, um, what is 64 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: the thing that I'm best at? Yeah, I think I've 65 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: I've figured out how to how to how to change 66 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: the diaper like efficiently. Um, he has his new game 67 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: is in. You know, anybody out there who is a 68 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: parent will probably know this, Like he has this new 69 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: game that where he'll take you, take the diaper off, 70 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: and he'll try to squirt you. He has not gotten me. 71 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: He's gotten his mother several times. But I figured out 72 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: how to prevent myself from getting So you'd be rated 73 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: very highly. All that would are like this guy, he's 74 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, he's he's prepara. He's preparation is good. You 75 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: get one of those rain ponchos if you go to 76 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: a golf tournament, you just man, yeah, So yeah, I 77 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: guess that would be the thing that I've gotten good at. 78 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: Although now like he's mobile, he's almost walking, So now 79 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: I gotta keep my head on a swivel. And uh, 80 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna test my agility. I'm sure that's 81 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: a blessing and a curse. You know, yes, because I 82 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: always know where he's at. You know when he's before 83 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: he's walking. But now it's mobile, which is good. But 84 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: say he's mobile, which is good because he's heavy. Um, 85 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: but not like I gotta keep my head on a 86 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: swivel because he's all over the place. So all right, 87 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: there you go, enough of me being back. Let's do 88 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: some news. Well, the Tom Brady saga is in full 89 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: swing right now. Um. This is sort of the football 90 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: version of Where's Waldo? I think it's gonna be. But 91 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots appeared to possibly be making plans for what 92 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: comes next when and if TB twelve is gone. Reports 93 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: are Dalton could find his way on via a trade. Um. 94 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: I mean your actually service says everything. I mean, I 95 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: don't really know. For Dalton, I guess it's I don't know, 96 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: I really know what it means. It's gonna be hard 97 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: to sort of pretty's gotta stay with the Patriots? Has 98 00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: what are they gonna go on? Better than the Gray? 99 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 1: Just quarterback all time? Dalton? I don't get it. Ryan Tanner, 100 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I have Jamis Winston had Peter 101 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: King's reporting that the Bucks are move on from Jamis 102 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: Winston Bruce Arians. I think he's just putting up a 103 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: nice front. He doesn't want Jamis, the guy turns the 104 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: ball over too much. But if Brady goes anywhere, I 105 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: feel like it would be like Raiders or Chargers. But 106 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: the Patriots can't do better than Anny Dalton. I think 107 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: there's some smoke to the Titans too. I definitely think 108 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of smoke to the Titans. For Brady. 109 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: Connection is real interesting. Yeah, and then they had the 110 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: whole thing with him and Edelman at was a basketball 111 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: game where they had Rabel on the Syracuse game on 112 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: the phone. I still I'm still steadfast. I think the 113 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: Patriots will get it will get it done too. But 114 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: I think there's some smoke to the Titans. I do 115 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: believe that the Patriots will get it done. Yetta. Look, 116 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: and I think for for Tom Brady, it's a chance 117 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: to go out and test the waters, see what's out there, 118 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: see what kind of interest you draw. But what I 119 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: was thinking about this last week, do you think there's 120 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: any because look, we all know that there's tampering before 121 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: his free agency period goes on, you talk about that. 122 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: Do you think do you think there's just like a 123 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: little bit of hold back because it feels like Brady 124 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: is the biggest cookie to crumble out of the quarterback market, right. 125 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: Do you think the Patriots are just waiting on the 126 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: new CBA to be officially signed and ratified and that's 127 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: why this process has kind of taken so long or what? Interesting? 128 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's kind of my theory. 129 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: I think there's also a power struggle between Bob Craft 130 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: and Bill Belichick. You know that Belichick I think is 131 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: willing to move on and see what else is out 132 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: there and see if he can rebuild this team with 133 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: a younger quarterback. Bob Craft just he understands what Brady 134 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: means to this franchise is legacy, and I think I 135 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: think he just doesn't want to see him playing in 136 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: another uniform. So you'd be you'd be a fan of 137 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: them taking for Trevor Lawrence next year, thanking for Trevor. Uh, 138 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: by the way we're going with tanking for Trevor Or 139 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: losing for Lawrence, Like what's for Lawrence comes off the 140 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: tongue better? Yeah, yeah, I think, uh, you know, I 141 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: don't know what's gonna be. But so well, I think 142 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: it's just how much of the Patriots going to spend. 143 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: I mean what he want thirty for two years, so 144 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: sixty total. Yeah, that's a lot of a lot of 145 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: time or a forty two year old quarterback year old 146 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: by the time this starts. Uh huh yeah, yeah, that's 147 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: a lot of money. Well imagine that just the whole 148 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: fantasy ramifications. If Brady ends up going someplace else and 149 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: you know what that's going to do to the value 150 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: of a guy like Julian Edelmyn or Tequila Harry or 151 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: the backfield. I mean it's gonna be completely thrown into 152 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: a state of flux. I mean Andy Dalton by the way. 153 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: This also, I mean, if you're the Bengals, what are 154 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: you going to get back in return for Andy Dalton? 155 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: Because everybody knows you're taking Joe Burrow number one, third 156 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: or fourth round. I mean, you're not gonna get much 157 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: in return, right, You're you're sort of quarterback. So I 158 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: mean it maybe that that will help his his trade 159 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: value a little bit, but third or fourth rounder, maybe 160 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: they have no leverage. They have no leverage whatsoever. Everybody 161 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: knows that they're moving on from Dalton, So it's like, 162 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: why would I give you a whole bunch back exactly 163 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: when he's just gonna be cut, you know, don't you 164 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: know in the next couple of years. Speaking of the 165 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: Bengals too, it sounds like they're gonna franchise a J. Green, 166 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: which is good news for Burrow when he comes, uh, 167 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: you know, to to the Queen City News for Burrow, 168 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: I don't know how excited a J. Green is gonna 169 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: be well. I mean, you know, good young quarterback comes in. 170 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not gonna win a chance. If I 171 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: was a J listen and if Brady is not in 172 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: New England, that was where I would like to see 173 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: a J. Green go with Brady to New England. Um. 174 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: But if Brady's gone, I guess staying in Cincinnati's as 175 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: good as any other place probably, um. Other veteran quarterback 176 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: news reportedly there's interest from Indianapolis in Philip Rivers. Now, 177 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: I will say that with the caveat, and this is 178 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: according to Stephen Holder, who has been a cult beat 179 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: writer for a number of years, is that all these 180 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: rumors you're hearing about the Colts having interest in veteran quarterbacks, 181 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: whether it's Brady, whether it's Rivers, what have you. A 182 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: lot of these stories seem or at least aren't coming 183 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: from the Colts. The Colts themselves haven't really said much, 184 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: so it seems as though these are being floated by 185 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: agents maybe trying to position their clients with the Indianapolis Colts. 186 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: But Philip Rivers in India, I mean, obviously they're not 187 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,599 Speaker 1: sold on Jacoby Brissette, I mean Graham. If if the 188 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: wide receivers can stay healthy, if Philip Rivers can avoid 189 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: throwing it to the wrong color jersey, right, it's not 190 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: a bad place. I don't know. I think FABS and 191 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: I talked about this a couple of weeks ago when 192 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: we went through just kind of a quick glance at 193 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: the free agency free agency group, and I think we 194 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: both agree that Rivers to Indie's the best spossible, really 195 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: good offensive line there. We talked about it. Uh, the 196 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: charges were thirty first and past protection per Pro Football Focus. 197 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: The cults were believe eleven and he's got weapons there 198 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: that they could add to that arsenal of weapons in 199 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: the draft and via free agency. So I mean, River 200 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: is not going to be a QB one in fantasy, 201 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: but he's going to be potentially a late round QB two. 202 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: And depending on where each of these guys end up, 203 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: Tom Brady might not get drafted, while Rivers would, which 204 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: is kind of wild. I think if Rivers goes to Indie, like, 205 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: we have to be all in on t Hy Hilton 206 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: again because why Hilton, I mean getting him a competent 207 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: quarterback that can push the ball down the field. So 208 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I know Philip Rivers is no longer 209 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: in his prime, but Keenan, Allen Hunter, Henry, all those guys, 210 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: Mike Williams even were great for fantasy. Jack Doyle would 211 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: also see his value go up because we all know 212 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: Rivers had an affection for tight ends during his career 213 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: in San Diego. I would love to see one more 214 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: two more years out of t Y Hilton where he's 215 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: just like a top six, top eight fantasy receiver, his 216 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: value go through the root of fun. Yeah. If Rivers 217 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: goes to Indianapolis, man, he just last year was just 218 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: rough because he just got hurt and stay healthy. Got 219 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: hurt so well. With the news that with Peter King 220 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 1: reporting that you know the Bucks are potentially going to 221 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: move on from jamis are not going to franchise him, right, so, um, 222 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: Rivers is going to be linked to the Bucks too, 223 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: So there's gonna be some suitors. I assume you guys 224 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: talked about this. This this story about Jamie's getting lasix surgery. 225 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: We did um jokes right themselves. Is this is gonna 226 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: be a narrative in the off season, like, Hey, Jamie's 227 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: got lasick. You know everything's be okay? Well, he got 228 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 1: to others. He's had two other surgeries too, I think surgery, surgery, 229 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: something else, like his shoulder. So like you know he's 230 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 1: gonna be bionic next year, right, Like why wouldn't you 231 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: draft this guy? I don't know. Um, there are rumors 232 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: out there that the Line might trade Matthew Stafford. Matt 233 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: Patricia calls those comical. Uh look again, I don't know 234 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: if you're the Lions, I don't know that you're in 235 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: a situation right now that you can get better than 236 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: Matthew staff He's not going any I can't imagine he's 237 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: going anywhere. And look, he's another one. Like if you 238 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: stays healthy, you put him with Kenny Golladay. Uh, you know, 239 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: if Marvin Jones is back again next year. T J. 240 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: Hawkinson gets better. I mean, that's fine. I have not 241 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: understood the Stafford the Stafford thing this offseason either. I mean, 242 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: if we've got all these moving pieces of quarterbacks, we've 243 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: got three potentially four good quarterbacks going in the first 244 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: round of this this coming draft, and for some reason 245 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: people think Matthew Stafford is moving on from the line. 246 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford was awesome. Stafford was fifth in fantasy points 247 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: per game on them on quarterbacks last season. He was 248 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: There was only eight guys that averaged over twenty. He 249 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: was one of them. He was the only reason the 250 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: lines were somewhat competitive to start the year, right, he left, 251 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: and then the lines fell apart well, and then they 252 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: had you know, David blow at some point, right they 253 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: had quarterbacking and everything went and somehow still Kenny Gollady 254 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: still had a really good year. Us that good last 255 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: But it is And this is sort of interesting because 256 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: the Cowboys reportedly would place an exclusive franchise tag on 257 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott this year. There are two different kinds of 258 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: franchise tags. There's the exclusive and then there's the transition tag. Look, 259 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: if you want to figure out the difference between them. 260 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: I suggest you go google it and read it. It's 261 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: win more complex than I want to get into right here, 262 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 1: but the point is the Cowboys, you know, may not 263 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: be able to come to a long term deal with that, 264 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: but they obviously don't want him to leave. Mike McCarthy 265 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: also would like to have a Mari Cooper and Randall 266 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: Cobb coming back. I read this morning from John Machoda 267 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: that if they had to pick one side versus the other, 268 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: that it would probably be Dak over a Mari, which 269 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: gotta be fas. I mean, obviously you're you're the Cowboy fan. 270 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: Seems to make the most sense, right dude. I mean, 271 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: it's franchise quarterback versus a very good wide receiver. But 272 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are hard to comply, So the Cowboys are 273 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: gonna do everything they can uh to keep Dak Prescott. 274 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: And um, you know there's reports out there that the 275 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys and Prescott's agent, Todd France, I've had conversations this week, 276 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: um or last week. It's it's basically the first time 277 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: the two sides communicated. UM. And then you've got the 278 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: new collective bargaining agreement, which could potentially force the Cowboys 279 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: to pick one or the other, like you said, and 280 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: it's it's got to be Deck. I mean, I know, 281 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: like there was some like hogwash out there from Colin 282 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: Cowhard that the Cowboys should go and signed that Tom Brady, 283 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: which is which is just there already. They're already spending 284 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: so much money in so many places they can't afford 285 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: to bring Tom right. I know, at some point maybe 286 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: it's already happening. The Cowboys are gonna regret giving Zeke 287 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: all that all that dough, but they have to keep Doc. 288 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: That's the biggest storyline from all of this is if 289 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: you don't pay Zeke all that money last year, like 290 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: you're cruising into resigning dec resigning Cooper, bringing Byron Jones 291 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: back to like Byron Jones, he's got He's gone, I 292 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: mean for sure, especially if they bring Dack and Cooper back. 293 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: Byrone Jones has been one of the best corners in 294 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean, Dallas died a fantastic job identifying him, 295 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: developing him, and he's been a shut down corner with 296 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: their only good corner for the past couple of years. 297 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: And now he's what sucked though, Like as a Cowboys fan, 298 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: if you lose Cooper because you know, you gave up 299 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,839 Speaker 1: he gave up a first rounder for him. He played 300 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: really well in Big d and then suddenly you're staring, 301 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: you know, the reality of maybe not having him right 302 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: in the face, that that that's gonna that that's gonna sting. 303 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: Uh as if you're a Cowboys fan and honestly, like, 304 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: where where would he have more fantasy value Cooper? I mean, 305 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, outside of like the well, let's send him 306 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: the Green Bay or whatever like that. But I mean, 307 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: you know, from a fantasy standpoint, the number one guy 308 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: in Dallas, I mean, that's that's pretty good. I could 309 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: see him being really fun in a place like Arizona. Yeah, 310 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: I know, he but he is. He is the number 311 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: one there and the Cowboys have Gallop. And then after that, 312 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm definitely with you that they traded 313 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: all of that capital to get him, resigned him after 314 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: you know, basically a year and a half and a half. 315 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: So let mean, let's play worst case scenario though, right, 316 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: and they don't bring him Ari Cooper back. Is Michael 317 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: Gallup ready to kind of step in and fill that role? 318 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, or do they they have 319 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: the seven teeth pick there in a draft full of 320 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: wide receiving Cowboys need dbs. I mean, I would hope 321 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: that they were going to focus, you know on a 322 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: safety uh in the draft, which a lot of mock 323 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: drafts have them going after that position, but there's a 324 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: lot of draft. If they don't bring back Keeper, maybe 325 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: they target I don't know who's gonna be out, you know, 326 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: be out there at that point. You know, is Lamb 327 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: going to be available at that point? Rugs, all the rugs. 328 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: I don't know that he's like A he's a true 329 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: number one, He's he's more of a ceedee Lambs going 330 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: He's going to go before seventeen. That's what I would 331 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: think to That's what I would think to. So see 332 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: Lamb Jerry Judy probably both be off the board by that, 333 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: I would think, so, yes, So we'll see. But it's 334 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. Uh what goes on with with the 335 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: MARII Cooper here? Uh, First we gotta figure out what's 336 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: going on the c b A. So yeah, well that's 337 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: the big thing that one made drag on I think 338 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: a little longer though, So that's that's gonna make this 339 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: really I think interesting over the next month or six 340 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: weeks or so. So there you go, all right, there, 341 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: you know, that's pretty much everything you need to know. 342 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: All right, Well, the combine for our intensive purposes are 343 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: in the rear view mirror. Believe they still but their 344 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: dbs that I think are performing today. I think there's 345 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: still some drills going on today. Um, it's a week 346 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: long event now it is. It is a week long event. 347 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: I know that with it being kind of later and 348 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: sort of in prime time that the numbers, the ratings 349 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: numbers have been good. So get ready for prime time 350 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: combine for the rest of your life. Um, that's what's 351 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: going to happen. But yeah, so there's still I think 352 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: some things I believe that maybe going on today. We'll see. 353 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: But anyway, for us as fantasy geeks, it is over. 354 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: So a couple of guys that really jumped off the 355 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: page performance wise, and someone was expected, but it was 356 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: still kind of good to see. The first one Jonathan Taylor, 357 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: who I have been big on pretty much since you know, 358 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: the college football season, guy who had a couple of 359 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: two thousand yards seasons at Wisconsin. And look, I know 360 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: there's been a history of Wisconsin backs who do big 361 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: things and it maybe just okay in the pros. I 362 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: thought Elvin Gordon is happening career, but they I mean 363 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: you got Monte Ball. Oh god, the ball? Yeah right, 364 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: but I mean Jonathan Taylor, Jonean Taylor looks a yeah, 365 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: and look the four three forty a seven second three 366 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: cone drill four to four twenty yards shuttle. I know 367 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: that before this thing there has sort of been Yeah, it' 368 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: been some division about whether it was Jonathan Taylor or 369 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift as your number one running back? Has this 370 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: changed the new minds is Jonathan Taylor? Has he taken 371 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: over that spot? Are we still kind of divided? I 372 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: think Taylor was the RB one coming into this two 373 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: into the combine and he exited. Is the clear cut 374 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: number one running back? And if you have a one 375 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: oh one in your rookie dynasty draft, you've got to 376 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: be doing like jumping jacks, because Jonathan Taylor's kind of 377 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: be a top twenty pick, top twenty pick in the 378 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: NFL and uh in the NFL draft coming up in April. 379 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: And as we know, when those guys go super early. 380 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: When rookie running backs go very early, they're going to 381 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: get the ball. Jonathan Taylor real quick on his forties, 382 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: so he ran the tenth fastest UH forty time once 383 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: you adjust for wait for three nine, se Kwon Barkley 384 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: was the fourth fastest. He ran a four four oh 385 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: at two thirty three. John Taylor is like two uh 386 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: like seriously generationally fast. Um almost ran for two thousand 387 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: yards in every single season. He came up just a 388 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: little bit short in a sophomore year. And the production, 389 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: the combine numbers, UM, the tape like, everything lines up 390 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: with Taylor. I mean he's the clear RB one, top 391 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: six in the twenty yard show, the three cone, the 392 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: forty yard dash, the ten yards split, and that there 393 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: are some people out there that worry that he had 394 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: a pretty massive workload at Wisconsin, but he never missed 395 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: a game and I got it. I got it. But 396 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective, really, what this all comes down 397 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: to is do the Miami draft Dolphins draft Jonathan Taylor 398 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: or do they draft deanor Swift? Because whoever gets drafted 399 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: by the Dolphins right is gonna end up being the 400 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: number one overall rookie in dynasty leagues. Am I wrong? No? 401 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I so, I was kind of 402 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: sketching out just some some fits for some of the 403 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: top prospects. And I actually liked Swift to Miami, either 404 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: Miami or Kansas City, UM. And I like Jonathan Taylor 405 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: to either Arizona or tam And like Arizona's depending that's 406 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: that's depending on what happens with Kenyan Drake. If they 407 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: don't come back with Kenyan Drake, is Arizona gonna like 408 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: Arizona is not gonna use the first round pick on Taylor. 409 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: If we're protecting them as a first round pick, they're 410 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: gonna probably go. They're gonna they could go wide receiver 411 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: and just yea, that offense would be sick. Oh man, 412 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: what if they draft Henry Ruggs. That's what we talked 413 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 1: about last week, that Ruggs and Christian Kirk. Rugs is 414 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: the next guy on my list here. I mean, look 415 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: the four two seven forty. You know, there was talking 416 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: he might break the record. He didn't quite do that, 417 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: but came pretty darn close. I met on top of it. 418 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys saw the ridiculous high 419 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: school basketball highlight tape that came out from him over 420 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: the weekend with him just like literally dunking over people, 421 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: not even dunking, just like yeah, like over people, like not. 422 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: It was one of the most ridiculous things ever. In 423 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: Ruggs is not tall. I mean, he's just a total 424 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: freak show man. I would love to see him. Nothing 425 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: wrong with or uh Baltimore. What about Baltimore will be 426 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: interesting because you know we put Mark's Brown and Henry 427 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: Ruggs opposite each other. Yeah, I mean I think what's 428 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: you know what's interesting because like usually you get one 429 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: speedster guy in the past, you have one guy who's 430 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: kind of just a route runner who can kind of 431 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: work underneath. But I think with the Chiefs winning the 432 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: Super Bowl with essentially a track team, I wonder if 433 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: more teams are going to kind of start to go 434 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: to that model. It's like, let's just get as much 435 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 1: speed as we possibly can and we'll let everything else 436 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: work itself out. So I wonder if the Broncos could 437 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: end up being in on him too, right, I mean, 438 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: you you pair him with Courtland Sutton, They've got some 439 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: weapons there. There are no fans, yeah, Because I think 440 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: I also think that for Las Vegas that's to happen. 441 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. Um. I also think that for Denver 442 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: they may be sort of over the day Shawn Hamilton's experiment. Yeah, 443 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: they needed number two for drewe Low. I think they're 444 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: sort of out on that one. I mean, fan fan 445 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 1: is He fizzled quickly after like the second half of 446 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: his rookie year where people were like, WHOA, he's getting 447 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: a lot of targets. He was really good and then 448 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I was definitely an on day show and 449 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,959 Speaker 1: I think I said at some point he would leave 450 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: the team and targets last year. That was a huge mistake. 451 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: He definitely was not very good this past season. But 452 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: I will say if Henry Ruggs makes it past like 453 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: Denver in Las Vegas, there's no chance the Eagles don't 454 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: take him at twenty one overall because they desperately need 455 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: somebody to stretch the field. For Carson Wentz. It's weird 456 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: to just hear people say Las Vegas for a while. 457 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: I know. Look, I almost said another podcast that was 458 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: the first time I actually got Oakland, so almost it's 459 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna take a while for that too, 460 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: sound semi normal, So um, a guy that's sort of 461 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: moved up a little bit, and Jordan's love the no 462 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: punting that the love for him was sort of big 463 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: coming into the combat line, and then he went out 464 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: and threw the ball very very well. Now there's talk 465 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 1: he might be the QB three that you know Burrows 466 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: number one too of probably the number two quarterback that 467 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: maybe Jordan's love has uh either caught or passed Justin Herbert, 468 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: I mean, are we are we buying this right now? 469 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but we talked about this, 470 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: right There's always that one quarterback that after the combine 471 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: people still, you know, like it was Josh Allen a 472 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: few years ago. I remember he was he was in 473 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: the mix to be the number one overall pick when 474 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: Baker got picked by the Browns. So you know, this 475 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: could end up being that situation here too. Um last 476 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 1: year he he had seventeen picks. So his decision making 477 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 1: still is a is a question mark. But we I mean, 478 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah said it. He's a raw prospect. He's so 479 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 1: so he's he's not gonna come in and turn your 480 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: franchise around. Let's just put it that way. But we've 481 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: seen teams. We I should have the research guys do this, 482 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: but we have seen time and time again over the 483 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: course of the history of the National Football League's draft, 484 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: how many teams take chances with high draft picks on 485 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who otherwise have failed. I mean, Christian Ponder, Achilles Smith, like, 486 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: just off the top of my there's a ton of them. 487 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: There's a ton of them, and so teams get enamored 488 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: with players who do well at the combine, who look 489 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: great on tape, who have big arms JaMarcus Russell, and 490 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to turn into anything. 491 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: But I mean Jordan Loves I think has solidified himself 492 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: as at least the top three quarterback and I'm sorry, 493 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: the top five quarterback in this draft. For me, I 494 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,239 Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for the Jalen Hurts buzz to get 495 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: really going. Yeah he had a good combine. Yeah, I 496 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: had a good combine. I mean he's look. I thought 497 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: his final year was better than the year before it 498 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: because he struggled with accuracy earlier in his career. But 499 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: I think he's gotten better. Um So I think, hopefully 500 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: for his sake, people are looking at last year's tape 501 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: and not from a couple of years ago. Um, It's 502 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: just like, how many times are we going to discount 503 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: running quarterbacks coming in the NFL? How many? I don't know, 504 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: one of them just was a unanimous m How many times? 505 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: How many times are we going to underrate these guys 506 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: that are prolific runners? And like sure, Jalen Hurts definitely 507 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: has his accuracy issues, but like so does Lamar jaxs 508 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: bro Bro I won games with Tim freaking Tebow. You 509 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: want to talk about accurate issue, actual issues. I mean, 510 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: like I was starting Terrell Prior, you know a few 511 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: years back when he was the quarterback of the Oakland Raiders, 512 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: and I'd be actually quarterback. Yeah, I mean you know 513 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: Hurt Hurts was second in the forty yard dash among quarterbacks. Uh, 514 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, great broad jump listen. He's an athlete, great athlete. 515 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: He's an athlete, man, and and and that's what the 516 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: NFL is moving towards. What are y'all all the old 517 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: quarterbacks that we're talking about right Rivers Statue of Liberty. 518 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 1: You know, Tom Brady's He's gonna get very mob these 519 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, the young and we had a number one 520 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: overall pick last year Kyler Murray who was ridiculously mobile. 521 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: And that's great for fantasy perspective. From the fantasy perspective 522 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: because we like these running quarterbacks and it's making the 523 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: position even deeper. Uh No, absolutely, And so you know, 524 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: and I think I think when you talk about some 525 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: of these guys that are you know, in the draft 526 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: right now, I know for fantasy, that's that's what we're 527 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: looking for, is guys who can move. And I'm curious 528 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: to see how long it takes the actual NFL scouts 529 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: to kind of come to that. And that's that's something 530 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: I missed on a couple of years ago when josh 531 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: Allen came out because he had all these accuracy issues 532 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: obviously big timeline, but josh An was a fantastic runner 533 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: coming out. I mean he was looked at times like 534 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: Cam Newton seriously some of his tape. I mean, he 535 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: was a man amongst boys. So I'm really trying as 536 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: this as we get further and deeper kind of into 537 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: this change in the NFL, to really kind of boost 538 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: up some of these guys that can run the ball, 539 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: because it really is a tone setter and kind of 540 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: a difference maker and Jalen Hurts concerned pro that, and 541 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: I think that's a big part of the reason why. 542 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: Who is going to be the big sleeper quarterback in 543 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: fantasy Daniel Jones, d Jon Danna Jones is gonna be 544 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: able to be He could beat you with his legs, Yeah, 545 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: I guess, because I mean, Y's no longer sleeper right 546 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: like an actual sleep. I mean, Daniel Jones is gonna 547 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,919 Speaker 1: end up being He's gonna be, But are gonna draft him? 548 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: Not until the late rounds because that's what we do 549 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: with quarterbacks. But he's going to be moved on up 550 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: and if he looks good in the off season, and 551 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: if he looks good, he's gonna keep moving on up, 552 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: moving on up. H one of only three quarterbacks to 553 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: score over twenty eight Fantasy points as a rookie, and 554 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: I believe the other two were Cam Newton. I don't 555 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: remember who the other one was, but it may have 556 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: been r G three. But regardless, people love him not 557 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 1: only because he's got big time upside as a passer, 558 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: but he can run with it, dude. Yeah. The ability 559 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: to extend plays, I think, yeah, I was just huge, 560 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 1: especially at the end of his career. You I just 561 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: could not move in the pocket like Daniel Jones. Even 562 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: though maybe he's not gonna scramble as much as Lamar Jackson, 563 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: he can certainly move. Just just cut back on the 564 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: turnovers many, Yeah, stop fumbling over the Hopefully a year 565 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: of experience as a starter in the NFL is going 566 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: to help that a little bit. But we'll see. Maybe 567 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: they put in pairing with the you know another former Giant, 568 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: Tiki Barber, who had his own fumble issues earlier to 569 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: and that's right, you know they worked that out. Tiki 570 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: Barber went from just an absolute nothing in fantasy to 571 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: like a study got they got. Tom Conflin is not 572 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: the coach in New York anymore. Because Daniel Jones would 573 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: have been benched like fifteen times last year. It would 574 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 1: have been he would never see the light of day. 575 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: I never seen the light of day. Guys who maybe 576 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: didn't perform quite as well as people would have thought 577 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: at the combine. Clyde Edward Hilaire from l Should we 578 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: come up with a nickname for him? Because if I'm 579 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: gonna have to say Clyde Edwards Hilaire every single time, 580 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: I mean we're counna be lazy. He could just be 581 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: c H. But I guess, yeah, we gotta, we gotta 582 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: come up. I feel like he had one. And if 583 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: there's somebody out there who's an L. S U fan 584 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: or at least an sec text, I'll text guy and 585 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: he's gotta you gotta have some kind of nickname. I 586 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: feel like he had one, uh in Baton Rouge. So 587 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: if there's somebody out there who knows, feel free to 588 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: hit us up on Twitter and UH and let us 589 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: know about that. UM. But his forty his forty time 590 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,479 Speaker 1: wait adjusted ranked in the thirty percentile. Not great. UM. 591 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: I mean his his game film looks good, and I 592 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: think a lot of people are kind of going back 593 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: to that. But I just think that his testing, Yeah, 594 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 1: I loves something to be desired. I didn't expect uh 595 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: Edwards Aliert to to really say it's hard to get 596 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: it off the tongue. UM. I didn't really expect him 597 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: to run that fast, be forty though. I mean, I 598 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: just don't think that's the way he plays. He he 599 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: makes guys miss in short, small confined spaces and and 600 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: I don't think Edwards alia really had like the deep speed. UM. 601 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: And you don't have to have home run speed to 602 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: be a quality NFL back. We've seen that guys like 603 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 1: Kaream Hunt came out with like four six speed and 604 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: they've been fantastic, right. Um. I mean, if you'd ran 605 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: like a four seven like Zack Most did, then that'd 606 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: be a little more scary. But for me, I'm not 607 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: really I'm not really too low on Edwards alert because 608 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: his tape really is that good and he caught fifty 609 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: sixty balls last year. And again the combine the common 610 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: is is great TV. If you're a football fan from 611 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, there are certain things that you can 612 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: look at, and I wrote a column about that last week. 613 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: Uh and Gil Brand the Godfather put out a list 614 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: of sort of target totals for the drills to look 615 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: at per position. Um, there are certainly things to look at, 616 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: but it's only a piece of what's going to make 617 00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: a player a good fantasy player or not. And sometimes 618 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: these guys come out and they have a bad day, 619 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: so they weill have bad days, So I'm not worried 620 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: about it. DeVonta Freeman is five eight to DeVonta Freeman 621 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: did not have a good company is five seven six. 622 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,719 Speaker 1: I have I have Edward Hiller peg to go to Atlanta. 623 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: I would love to see him in Atlanta. It looks 624 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: like they're moving on from DeVonta Freeman, so why not 625 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: just slide him in there? I think I think it's 626 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: a great match there. They are in terms of height, 627 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: end weight, and speed. They are literally identical. Yeah. Like 628 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: I said, when I was like sort of mocking dream 629 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: spots for some of these guys, I had him like 630 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: and uh and if I remember correctly, Freeman barely hit 631 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: any of Brand's marks. Uh. When I did the research 632 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: on that, and Freeman ended, I mean he was the 633 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: RB one one season. Yeah, So it doesn't necessarily mean, 634 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: you know, if the guy has a bad combine and 635 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: he's gonna stink in the NFL. I mean that's that's obvious. 636 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: So then another guy again. So then let's go to 637 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: Jalen Raaker, Right. I think people were expecting him to 638 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: have a huge, a fast forty times. That didn't quite happen. 639 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: It was just sort of you know, man, Look, I say, 640 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: man in relation to the other guys running there, right, 641 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not running a four fourt so so 642 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: let's just get that out of the way. Uh, but 643 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: a guy who, again on tape, you watch him on film, 644 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: he looks okay, times not great. But I think I 645 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: think a lot of people will sort of kind of 646 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: overlooked that, right for what he did at TCU, I 647 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: think people expected Rigor to run somewhere in the range 648 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: where Henry Ruggs ran, and I found that just to 649 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: be crazy watching some of Rigor's tape, I mean, Rigor's 650 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: very good. Uh he dealt with just maybe the worst 651 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: quarterback situation you could deal with. UM Pro Football Focus 652 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: charted Ragor with like thirty of his targets being accurate 653 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: last year, which is dead last among all college football 654 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: receivers coming in. But I mean, four four seven is 655 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: still moving man Like, That's still really what I'm saying that. 656 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: That's why I said he was like man in relation 657 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: to everyone else there, right, he blew up the the 658 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: jumping drills to like, Yeah, he was third in the 659 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: vert and he was second in the broad jump and 660 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: uh ninth in the bench press. Yeah among wide receivers. 661 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: So right there, it is um any any tight ends 662 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: jump out of anybody. I mean, I know this, this 663 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: is not expected to be a huge tight end. Last 664 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: year we had, you know, between we had Hockinson and 665 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: fant and uh. I really wanted Harrison Brian to test well, 666 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: but he had one of the worst combines you could 667 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: have that f a you. I liked him a little bit. 668 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: Albert ran really fast. Yeah, but about that, There's been 669 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: rumors that Chase Claypool end Up could end up being 670 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: drafted as a tight end. I don't think he will 671 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: anymore after that combine he just had. I don't know, 672 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: I'm still I'm still seeing stuff about that that teams 673 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: could be interested in him and used utilizing him as 674 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: a tight end. That I think you just if he 675 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: if he gets drafted as a tight end, that just 676 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: makes his fantasy value exponentially better. Yeah, because he's gonna 677 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: be put in the slot and used as like a 678 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: big slock eye regardless of where he goes. I could 679 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: see him kind of being like an Evan Ingram hybrid 680 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: type Darren Waller kind of bulk up though, I mean 681 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: Darren wall Learning So worry about guys like that, because look, 682 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: we already know that it takes a couple of years 683 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: for tight ends generally to make an impact, and I 684 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: feel like guys who have to transition. Then that that 685 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: makes their learning curve even Like I keep thinking of 686 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: Devin Funches, right who at Michigan he was sort of 687 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,719 Speaker 1: a tweinter I think that he was. They flopped him 688 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: back and forth between wide receiver and tight end and 689 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, he he seems to have just never really 690 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: found a role until that. That would be the only 691 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 1: thing that worries me about Claypool moving to tight end 692 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: is just that suddenly his learning curve becomes that much steeper. 693 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: And maybe they don't use him to block quite as much. Um, 694 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I don't know. Let's get Edie. 695 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: Because Eddie is are our resident Notre Dame fan here, 696 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: you probably know more about Claypool. But I was gonna 697 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: say about Claypol he never got a chance to play 698 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: tight end at Notre Dame because they had called Comet, 699 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: who who actually had a pretty decent He ran like 700 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: a four seven and he's a big body. Um. Claypool 701 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: was more of the guy like the jumball guy. Or 702 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: he would catch these like deep down the field balls 703 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: and he would just go, you know, he would moss 704 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: other dbs because he was just way bigger, faster, or 705 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: strong than these guys, but um, he his measurables are similar, 706 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: and I believe some of his combine results were similar 707 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: to Evan Ingram. So I think Evan Ingram was a 708 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: good comp for that because you can put him in 709 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: the slot and have him just be a mismatch with 710 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: these tight ends who he's with, these linebackers that he 711 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: just clearly fashioned them. But I mean, I think him 712 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: and Commed, both people have a pretty good future in 713 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: this uh, in the in the league because they had 714 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: a really good last season. I know here Dame all right, cool? 715 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: Uh good enough for me. I know, like I said, 716 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: we're we all want tied end to be deeper. Look, 717 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: we need to have no offense t J. Hockinson. Really 718 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: that's what we're banking on because I'm really low on 719 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: this tiden class and I think that's like a lot 720 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: of people all. I think the combine kind of cemented 721 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: it for me. Yeah, So we'll see if anybody comes 722 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: out of here. Uh. Is there anything else that jumped 723 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: out at you guys, good bad otherwise from from the 724 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: combine this week? I think that you know it are 725 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: some of the big ones this justin Jefferson, boy, Oh 726 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: my god, like four four. I was not expected justin 727 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: Jefferson Man, I'm a fan. I don't know where he's gonna. 728 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: There was a there was a comp on next gen 729 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: Tory Smith to Smith actually had a pretty decent Rickie season. 730 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: He had a career, but I think it could be 731 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: better than tor Yeah, statistically, I think my biggest takeaway 732 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,320 Speaker 1: from the combine and people have been talking about this 733 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 1: at nauseum on Twitter, but like this, this receiver class 734 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: is just ridiculous. I mean we've just spent this whole 735 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: podcast and we haven't brought like brought up like a 736 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: guy like Michael Pittman, your guy from US. Look, I 737 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: I do. I want great things for Donovan. People's Jones too, 738 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: who had a really had a great combine jumped out 739 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: of the building and uh and really struggled. I mean 740 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: his quarterback play in Michigan last year was really brutal. 741 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: I mean this, this receiver group is just really deep 742 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 1: and for fantasy, like there are gonna be some some 743 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 1: guys like you know, off the top of my head, 744 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: like Buffalo is a team that really needs to pick 745 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: up receiver and guys somebody like John Brown, who he 746 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 1: loved this past year might see their opportunities start to fall. 747 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be this coming year is gonna be 748 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 1: a loaded crop for receivers in fantasy. I mean, it's 749 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 1: gonna be very very deep this year. Yeah, it's gonna 750 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,959 Speaker 1: be one to watch. So hey, we have what about 751 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: six weeks more than that of talking about this before 752 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,839 Speaker 1: the draft. So um, if you're not sick of draft 753 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: season already, you will be by the time we get there. 754 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: Although we we are gonna free agency is gonna be 755 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: so much fun. It's got to be so much fun. 756 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: Will be faking. I mean, I am so looking forward 757 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: to what we a couple more weeks. Yeah, I think 758 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: it's only gonna be. I think we're all so excited 759 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: about it just because we actually have like a quarterback carousel. 760 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: Like most years, it's like really good defensive players, like 761 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 1: a couple of good receivers, maybe a few good running 762 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: backs like mark Ingram last year. But outside of that, 763 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 1: we very rarely have quarterbacks that can move. Now we 764 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: have like six or seven that can move. Oh. It's 765 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: interesting about that is that like they're big names, but 766 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: I think when we talk about fantasy, there guys that 767 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 1: you know we're gonna get drafted low or maybe even 768 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,720 Speaker 1: not at all. Right, so, I don't know they'll effect 769 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: players like t Y Hill, there's right exactly. Yeah, there 770 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a domino effect, no question about that. Right. So, 771 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 1: and it's also gonna be interesting to see, uh what 772 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: happens with the Mark Cooper. There's there's there's some big 773 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: names out there. Man. I mean, I don't know how 774 00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: to Coop to leave Dallas, but there's some big name 775 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: is out there that could be on the move here 776 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: in the very near future. And you all know, at 777 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: the NFL nowadays, it's certainly not adverse to trades, So 778 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 1: I think we could see some trades that could be fun. 779 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: Remember that before it was I think it was like 780 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 1: the Clinton Portist Champ Bailey trade and that sort of 781 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: opened for everything. Yeah, I mean, like the NFL trading 782 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: deadline used to be the worst of all the major sports. Um, 783 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: you know, just be crickets, like that thing happens And 784 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: I was like whatever now, and I was like, you know, 785 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: there's a chance that that things could happen. Yeah, dude, 786 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: look at I mean, Kenyan Drake going to going to Arizona. 787 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: That was a huge from a fantasy perspective, and that's 788 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: there's just there's so much right now that's up in 789 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: the air that hopefully we're gonna have answers for here 790 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: in the next month or two. And Arizona's backfield is 791 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,400 Speaker 1: certainly one of them. What are they gonna do. They 792 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: can't release David Johnson, maybe they trade him Tampa Bay. 793 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be a lot, It's gonna be 794 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: so much fun. What did what would you get for 795 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: David Johnson right now? I don't know a few years 796 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 1: ago you would have a big gas contract about it. 797 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: So alright, all right, it's that this is just the beginning. 798 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: We have seven and a half weeks until the draft, 799 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 1: so we have plenty of time to talk about this. 800 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 1: And FABS mentioned free agency is gonna throw some some 801 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: wrenches and things too, so we got plenty of stuff 802 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: to talk about over the next couple of months. There 803 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: you go, all right, that's it. We are done. We 804 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 1: appreciate you downloading and listening.

We'll see your next Wait, 808 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: yea warm, warm, I'm going, I'm don't go.
