I'm Paul Charchion, my guest, 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:28.760 as he has been for many of the last shows, 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.120 and we'll be for a few more thor nice strow, 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.440 Hey buddy, Hey, how you doing it? Is certainly your 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.640 time of year, isn't it? Ah? The best, the best? 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:39.680 And I know you're super busy. We love you find 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.040 time to get us up to speed on the rookies 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.440 every year, this time of year and this is this 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.600 is high demand thor season right here. I mean, this 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:50.400 is like you know, for me, when I'm in like 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:53.920 late August early September and everybody's getting ready for their 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.760 guillotine drafts, that's my busy, busiest time of the year. 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.640 This is this month is just nuts for you or 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.400 are you all prepped up to the point that now 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.600 it's just easy? I mean, nothing's your evaluation of players 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:08.399 doesn't change much at this point. Right as we get 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:08.959 into April. 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.720 I would love to say the latter, but you know 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:15.040 you're going deeper into the position. You know, when you 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.039 do a five hundred player big board like I do 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.759 with the five hundred comps, like I mean, it becomes 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.800 a real discussion down the board draftable grades and then 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.039 down the board and then you know who's who's gonna 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:26.920 be on there, who's gonna miss it? But yeah, like 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.440 there's there's a lot of guys to watch and to 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.880 dig into to get to a five hundred player bard. 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:33.440 So now we will we will be going right up 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:34.000 to the draft. 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.880 I love it. Okay, So we've got what rookie wide 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:41.480 receivers today, then next week tight ends week after that 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:45.759 quarterbacks and and it's quarterback has seen Well, we'll talk 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.640 more about it when we get to that episode. Feels 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.800 like it's been fairly stable other than cam Ward now 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.560 moving to the presumed one to one from where this 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.520 was a while ago. But let's let's talk wide receivers. 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.600 Just overall, we had had over the past four or 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:03.000 five years, we had had just these really deep classes 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.240 of rookie wide receivers that were good at the top, 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:10.280 middle end of the draft. This one, to me doesn't 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:12.480 feel like as strong a class. So just talk to 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.240 me before we get into specific guys, talk to me 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.639 about this rookie class of wide receivers. 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.000 Yeah, it's like we talked about with the running back 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.240 class from the other direction. These things are cyclical, and 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.560 after we had a couple bad running back classes in 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.440 a row, now we have one of the best that 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.440 we've seen in the last fifteen twenty years. Whereas with 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.919 wide receivers, like you mentioned, we had some stacked wide 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.560 receiver classes here in the recent past, and that everything 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:41.960 is cyclical. You can't have an awesome position class every year. Yeah, 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:44.079 you know you're going to get it on the other 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.760 side of the variants at some point, and that's what 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.680 we have that with this receiver class. This receiver class 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.160 is way way down from what we have seen in 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.240 the past couple of years. There are interesting prospects though, 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.640 there's a couple in here that absolutely should go in 0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:00.160 the first round, and there's some interesting sleepers, but overall, 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:03.360 as far as class quality, this receiver class does not 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:04.800 stack up well against the last couple. 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.360 All right, let's talk about Travis Hunter as his own 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.560 unique situation here, I think the fantasy utility on Travis 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.240 Hunter will be capped by just the snap count. But 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.200 talk to me about him. Where would if Travis Hunter 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.359 were only playing wide receiver and he, you know, was 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:22.760 going to be on the field as a full time 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.040 wide receiver. Where would Travis Hunter fit into this? And 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.800 do you just disagree with my understanding that he's just 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:30.919 not going to be on the field enough for him 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.480 to be somebody you can reliably count on from a 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:35.840 fantasy standpoint to the first. 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.840 Question, he would be wide receiver one, yeah, bullet and 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.240 he and of course he'd be one with the bullet 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.680 as well, So you're talking about a unicorn prospect there 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.240 that I do have a slightly different take as far 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.560 as the fantasy utility with Okay, I think this kid 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.480 starts out as a rookiet. Of course you're going to 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.440 be playing all the snaps on defense, but I think 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.800 it's going to be My ballpark is roughly forty percent 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.120 and could be up to fifty percent of the snaps 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.400 on offense. Whatever team takes him, you cannot afford not 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.320 to have him taking offensive snaps. In addition, for you 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.440 to the cornerback that you know that he's going to 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.360 be playing right away. You just have to get him 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.200 out there, and Travis Hunter, that's what he wants to do. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.120 Travis Hunter wants to be the sho Heyo Tani of 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.479 the NFL. He's going to get that opportunity. That's something 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.080 that he's put out there. He does not want to 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.520 be a one way player. He wants to play both ways. 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.520 You can't put him out there one hundred percent of 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.560 the snaps on both right away, because you know we 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.320 are starting to walk at that point, you're in unprecedented 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.800 territory and your medical staff is going to tell you 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.320 that you are elevating his injury risk above where they 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:42.159 are comfortable. I think there's going to be discussions about 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.120 that between the medical staff, between your analytics department, and 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:46.760 then of course the coaching staff in the front off 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.479 is going to get involved with this as well. They're 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.359 going to come up with some sort of snapshare for 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.640 offense in his rookie season that people are comfortable with 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.640 starting and then you just see from there. But those 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.480 snaps when he is on the field, you are going 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.560 to be getting the ball to Travis Hunter. I think 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.240 the team and it has him, you will have one 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.080 non Travis Hunter playbook. You will have one Travis Hunter 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.520 Playboff he's on the field, they will be looking to 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.160 get him the ball. He's not gonna be out there 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.599 many running plays. They're not gonna ask him to block, right. 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.520 I mean that you're trying to keep him out of 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.560 the collisions as much as you can when you don't 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.479 when that ball is not in his hands. But I 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.000 do think he's gonna get enough snaps to be Fantasy 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.120 relevant as a rookie, especially because he's this classic best receiver. 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.000 And I think the catch with Travis Hunter is you 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.040 have to be playing in a format where it's okay 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.400 if he I think he's gonna have some two catch 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.599 twenty yard games because he's just not on the field 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.000 as much as every down players. And then there's gonna 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.200 be other games where he's gonna have five catches and 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.360 he's gonna do something special on three of them, and 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:45.400 he's gonna have explosive games. And so to me, you know, 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.000 when I when I look at him as a potentially 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.040 part time player, I think you just have to bake 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.120 in the understanding that Travis Hunter is gonna have some 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.320 games where the volume just isn't there is that fair? 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.520 That is fair? And I think we're getting deeper into 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.240 the weeds or more inside baseball here, because when I 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.720 say forty percent, I'm talking about over the ocean of 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.440 snaps in a season, assuming his health. And I'm gonna 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.320 knock on when I say that. Yeah, But the way 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.120 that you get there in games where the game script 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.240 gets away one way or the other, I think that's 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.839 where you save the snaps, right, I mean, because you 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.000 only want him out there when he is juicing your 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.360 opportunity to win the football game. If we're down by 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.799 two touchdowns, all right, Travis, you know what, You're finishing 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.440 out the game on defense. But we can probably save 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.400 some hits for you here. Whereas games where they're closer throughout, 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.640 I think you will see him out there on the 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.520 field more than that forty percent, and they will probably 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.400 trying to look to get him the ball even more 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:43.600 because he can swing games. 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.760 You've got Travis Hunter. I'm looking at your most current 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.559 mock draft at fantasylife dot com. You've got Travis Hunter 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:54.080 going third to the Giants. Yeah, that's a you know, 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:58.279 it's Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston throwing him the ball, which, honestly, 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.440 from a fantasy standpoint, I take Winston because we don't 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.200 care as much about the interceptions as we do the 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:08.680 long arm the you know, so he'll have funk quasi 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:12.760 functional quarterbacking. I don't you know, I don't love the 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.560 quarterbacking spot there for Travis Hunter, but that's okay, and 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.480 that I think that would make sense for him to 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.720 drop to the Giants. He's arguably the best player in 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.440 this class, right so him going third overall wouldn't be 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:24.080 a stretch. 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.760 At all, one thousand percent, and he would be a 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.880 perfect fit for the Giants as far as the dude 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.720 takes over CB one right away and then that you know, 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.320 we'll say the forty percent of snaps as a rookie 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.720 on offense. Can you think of a more awesome second 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.560 banana for Elik Neighbors? Right, Like Elik Neighbors, He's gonna 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.200 be doing his thing on one side of the field 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.640 and then Hunter on the other side. And neither of 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.440 those guys, of course, has Tetoa McMillan size or you know, 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.520 somebody like that, but both of them not only can 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.200 slice and dice you a short and intermediate by manufacturing 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.400 stuff you hit him on the hands in space. They 0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:01.320 also can both win downfield, right and and Travis Hunter 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.560 is incredible downfield because his best thing as both a 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.040 defender and a receiver is his ball skills. And you 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.800 don't have to take my word for it, ask any 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.080 of the coaches that have ever worked with Tim. It's like, 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.600 I've never seen a guy with these kind of ball 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.520 scales and down the field. Obviously he has all the 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.120 athleticism that he needs to get there, and he he 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.360 has like this gumbyl like contortionism to him as well. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:25.880 So he's going to get the best of it with 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.920 this with his body control when the balls on the doorstep. 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.440 But the other thing that's kind of unique about him 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.520 beyond that is, uh, you know, and beyond you know, 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.000 just the sort of the rope ball skills is physically 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.360 he has longer arms than he should with his frame. 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:45.840 In fact, his arms are I believe just one inch shell. 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:47.880 I'm looking it up to to make sure I don't 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:52.160 yeah one inch shell or actually yeah, almost exactly one 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:57.120 inch sheth of teterol McMillan's wow the arm arm mu Yeah, yeah, 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.400 so you're you're you're talking about to do with with 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.480 super long arms and that manifest down the field there. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:07.000 You know, as far as extending that catch radius, he 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.240 has more athleticism than you, so you know, again he's 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.960 usually getting the step and then he can obviously get 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:14.880 off the carpet and get in the air. And with 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.160 those long arms, he has the ability to get higher 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.840 than most of the guys that are defending him, certainly 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.520 in college, but that's going to be the case in 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.560 the NFL as well. He doesn't drop anything, So I 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:29.240 mean that's you're getting a home run hitter there. It's 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:30.800 also a guy of course, you know you hit him 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.199 on the hands in intermediate in space like I mentioned, 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:37.079 but talking about it, awesome second banana next to Moleague neighbors. Yeah, 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.120 the Giants you obviously would have you for the first 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.880 time since Eli Manning retired, you would have an interesting 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:43.840 passing offense. 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.440 There's that's Trevis Hunter and I do want to we 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:51.960 will dive into the next set of of wide receivers 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:53.640 and especially when I want to hit you with like 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.280 Day one and two receivers, guys that could go in 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.520 the first three rounds. When I look at teams that 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.000 could for make a wide receiver in the first two 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.240 days of the draft. I think Buffalo's in or really 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:09.360 just Khalil Shakir. New England is always in play at receiver. 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.640 They never do much about it and they haven't really 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:13.600 been able to start a gold there, but they certainly 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:17.760 need one. The Jets fall off a cliff after Garrett Wilson. Yes, 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.400 Tennessee has Van Jefferson as a starter right now, so 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.640 you know that is a team that needs wide receiver help. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.000 Las Vegas. We love Jacobe Myers on this show, but 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:32.480 they need a number one wide receiver. Washington, they just 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.199 landed de Ball on that one year deal, but it's 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.120 only a one year deal, and Luke McCaffrey barely even 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.400 got on the field last year. You and I differed 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.400 on him a little bit at this time last season, 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.720 and maybe his best days are still ahead of him. 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.520 But I feel like that's a team that, looking ahead, 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.720 could use the receiver. Green Bay's got all those, you know, 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.960 that gaggle of good receivers, but not that great receiver 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.400 that they've been searching for, and nobody's really emerged from 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:59.000 that group yet. Carolina spent that late first rounder on 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.360 Xavier lyget Lie last year, but they and so they 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.800 probably don't spend high equity on receiver again, but still 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.520 pretty telling that Adam Thielen was their best receiver last 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.600 year at age thirty four. And I'll hit you with 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:15.079 two more teams that I think are in play. New Orleans. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.480 They've got Chris Olave but like the rest of the 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:22.480 receiver room is coming off ACL surgery. And then the Rams, right, 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:24.760 so they added Devonte Adams obviously at his age, that's 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.120 a stopgap measure and they ultimately need somebody opposite pokin Akua. 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.120 They could be an interesting team later in the draft. 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.720 And then Seattle, who signed Cooper Cup to a three 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.240 year deal, which I do not understand at his age 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.840 and given the metric drop offs that we've seen, but 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.600 he's not a long term solution. And they lost DK Metcalf, 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.760 So I think Seattle is in play as well. 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.240 I would the ones I would add, did you say 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:48.360 Jaguars and Cowboys. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.920 I did not say Jaguars or Cowboys. Tell me why 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:52.880 you think they're they're in play here at receiver. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:57.280 Well, with the Jaguars, you have Brian Thomas and you 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.079 like you, like Brian Thomas a lot outside. They need 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.719 guys that can advance the ball for them, and I 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.160 think they're a sneaky you know, everyone now is putting 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.880 Mason Graham to the Jay and I have plenty, but 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.600 I think they're If there's going to be a surprise 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:17.040 in the top five, I think it's Lee and Coleen 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.640 to commandeering that war room and saying I need I 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.200 need a dude who can advance the ball for me. Now, 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.800 this probably is more for our tight end conversation because 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.160 I think Tyler Warren could end up being that guy. Yes, 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.320 teterol McMillan, that might be. I like Tet, but might 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.960 be just slight slightly over where you should be. But 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.040 like Tyler Warren, it would be hard to argue against 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:42.240 him there, right, Like, that's a guy who is one 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:43.680 of the better way we'll talk about this in the 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.360 tight end prospect, but that's one of the best prospects 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.000 to come out at that position, particularly just with the 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:50.959 idea of moving that football forward. 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.600 Yeah, that makes sense, That makes sense. Yeah, I think 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.120 I think the Jaguars like Brent Strange, and I think 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:58.560 they're you know, I think that's part of why they 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.840 let Ingram go. So you know, I don't know if 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.360 they love Strange enough right now that they would pass 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:08.280 on potentially a different game changing tight end. Let's dive 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.440 into your wide receivers. You're number one ranked wide receiver 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:16.000 and again not counting Travis Hunters will put an asterisk 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.880 on that. That's Ted McMillan. You've already referred to your 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:23.080 comp on him as T Higgins, and the ball skills 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:24.680 on Ted McMillan are just sick. 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.320 That's the thing. And like T Higgins, I think Ted's 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:33.200 destiny if he's defined the right situation, it would be 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:37.640 as an awesome wide receiver too. He kep you know, 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.920 in the same way that Drake London's a wide receiver. 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.840 Ted's also very similar to Drake London. But I you know, 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.280 if you're talking like a very dangerous offense and a 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.880 dangerous sort of contender, that's the role that I would 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.680 prefer Ted end. His tench ball scials are insane because 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.280 he has one of the biggest catch ratierses you'll see. 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.160 You know, obviously he's stretched out at a little over 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.079 sixty four and then he's got to long arms as well, 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:07.439 and his insure hands as well, Like he has some 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.400 highlight reels out there on YouTube, and you know, like 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.160 in the facility where he's you know, jumping up, catching 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.080 the ball between his legs and then putting the ball 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.319 through his legs before he lands, like all this sort 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.520 of he can do all sorts of ridiculous things, but 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:24.040 he's awesome in contested situations. Nineteen for thirty one last season, 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.000 he was number two and contested catches in this class 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.280 the year before that. This is also the thing people 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:34.360 nitpick him for, though, is his work against man coverage, 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:39.480 where it's it's not that he couldn't create separations that 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:43.200 sometimes it doesn't appear that he's even trying. It's it's 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.760 he is one of those guys with man coverage he 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.680 wants to It's sort of like a child who's afraid 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:50.440 in the dark and they're with their parent and they 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.240 want to sort of feel that their parent is next 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.240 to them. That's sort of what he's like with his 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.880 man defender. He wants to know where that do it 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.200 because his ball skills are so good and he positions 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.800 his body so so it's like when when he going 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.560 down on you know, along that stem, he sort of 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.360 wants to know, get his bearings with where is that guy? 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.120 And then it's the equation when the ball's on the doorstep, 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:11.880 what he's going to do with his body in his hands. 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.960 But his his separation rate against man coverage was very, 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.880 very low. Interestingly though, he was at the top of 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:21.120 the class in separation rate quote unquote against zone coverage. 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.120 And he has a very good zone coverage barometer or 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.000 calculator in his head. Like right after the snap, those 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.000 couple beats you see the movement of the defenders. Tet's 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.640 one of those guys that immediately knows where they are headed, 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.840 which means that he knows where the open spot of 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.280 grass is before it appears right And those are the 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.920 guys where it's like they're always available to the quarterback 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.840 and the balls right there. You would see Noah Fafida, 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.960 the underside scrambling quarterback for Arizona, when he saw the 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.320 drop zone his eye. You'd see it every time on film. 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.520 He's going right to tat because you know tech going 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.680 to be open right like and you know and and 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.720 and then he can even throw an Aaron ball and 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.520 it is going to be speared by those long arms. 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:01.440 But Te's a very good receiver. It's not I would say, 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.080 an Alfa Alpha wide receiver one in the NFL, but 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.160 it certainly an acceptable Drake London like wide receiver one 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.920 if that's what he ends up going to an offense 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.440 like that. But like I said, his destiny, I would 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.960 prefer that he get in a situation. Not everyone can 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.800 play across from a Jamar Chase or a Justin Jefferson 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:19.920 or someone like that. But if he could get into 0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.760 that situation, you could just allow him to do tet 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.080 things while the other guy is rampaging on the other 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:25.720 side of the field. 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.440 You've got tet right now. Going to Dallas, had picked 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:34.240 number twelve, he's Is he the best contested catch receiver 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:35.600 in this in this draft class? 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.560 Yeah? Probably yes, Yeah, in terms of contested catches for sure. 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.360 Yeah, it feels that way, and that you know, Ceedee, 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:47.680 Lamb's already awesome at that. But that is a team 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.080 where the drop off after Lamb it goes to what 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:54.440 Tolbert and then it's I don't know, are they going 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.640 to actually play Jonathan Mingo in one of the worst 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.320 trades that nobody talks about, that fourth rounder that they 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:00.760 gave up for Alison Mingo. 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:05.199 Let's just say they they need to draft a receiver 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:07.680 real quick because right now on their projected depth chart, 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.560 Mingo is the wide receiver three and they need to 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.200 knock him down. Maybe even wide receiver four is a 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.520 little bit above Jonathan Mingo's import as to what he 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.800 actually is. So they need some help. 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.360 All right, Let's go on our next receiver. Matthew Golden. 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:24.359 This is the speedster from Texas. You've comped him to 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.520 Chris Olave and you've got him going in the first round. 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:33.200 Yeah. The thing that evokes Olave is Olave. So I 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:35.240 always think of it as like a jet ski, you know, 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:37.480 just because I'm from northern Minnesota with you know, but 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.000 like the throttle ford, throttle back, throttle forward, throttle back, 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.720 the speed change temple guys. And that's like Matthew Goh, 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:46.240 you just think of him out there on the jet 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:50.359 ski throttles forward but then throttle back, throttle forward. He 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.760 changes his speed so well that that's how he ends 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.399 up creating separation because he keeps guys off of him. Right. So, 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.000 so along the stem you're able to keep the defense 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:01.800 off you, and once you get to the route break, 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:03.960 you got a little more room to maneuver, and he 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.679 certainly has the footwork and agility through there. He's a 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.960 good route runner. And then I think that's a part 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:11.960 of the reason why no one was seeing that four 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.760 two nine come in, because he does not play full 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.400 throttle all the time, certainly along the routestem by design, right, 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:20.679 I mean, that's what leads to the separation rate that 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.040 he has, very very good with that. This is also 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.240 a guy even though he is quote unquote undersize at 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.840 that combine five ten, one nine one, I know that 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.280 he can play on the boundary. He can absolutely be 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.159 drafted by a team that's like you are one of 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:36.199 our starting bowery wide receivers going forward. Because gold improved 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.520 the concept of that in college. Yeah, first two years 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.000 was at Houston, and then last year at Texas he 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:42.840 did it, you know. I mean he was the dude 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:44.840 down the stretch there when they were making a run 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.640 trying to get to the national championship. And in part 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:52.080 because Matthew Golden got injured right before Treveon Henderson did 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:54.639 his seventy five yard touch and run delayed screen right 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:58.280 before halftime. Those two things in conjunction took all the 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.040 wind owt of the Longhorns' sales, and the rest was 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.760 history as far as Ohio State goes. But Golden can 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:08.000 interchangeably play between the slot or the boundary, so creative 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.560 offensive staffs you can move him around to try to 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.399
