1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, Wow. Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, April fifth, twenty

2
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: twenty three. Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast or

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: we're doing our own pro days. It's me your Man,

4
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: NAMG Marcus Grant joined by Michael F. Floria. We're in

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: studio today. She means, we got specialists, soba there, give

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: yourselves around up applause. We got a plan to talk about. Man,

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: this is the time of year where there's no actual news,

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: but somehow, Florio, we have devised a whole lot of

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: things to talk about for the next little bit. Yeah.

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: I feel like March and definitely April are like outside

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: of the season, are probably the busiest months, and everyone's like, oh,

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: what are you doing with all your free time? And

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, we're still in the midst of like draft

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: season right now, maybe maybe after the draft. It's funny too,

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: because it's like, I feel like you for people close

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: to me, family friends, are like, yeah, this must be

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: kind of nice. You have so much downtime, and I'm like, look,

18
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm not doing TV shows every day, but there's still

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: plenty of stuff to look at to research. I feel

20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: like I'm behind on everything, like I dare to actually

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: take some time off because family was in town, and

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: now I feel like I'm like way behind it. To me,

23
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: this feels like the closest to like taking the bar

24
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: that I'll ever have to be, where like we're just

25
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: like crame because I don't watch much college football during

26
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: the season because the NFL takes over our lives in

27
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: the season, So now it's like playing ketchup. And I've

28
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: been trying to watch and like research as much as possible,

29
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: and I'm like, huh, lawyers do this for like months,

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: but I don't know how they do. Yeah, it's a

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: whole different thing. So we don't have to get licensed

32
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: to do what we do, which I don't know if

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: that's good or bad, but it certainly is. We're going

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: to start over the next few weeks kind of putting

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: together our desires and needs four teams. When it comes

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: to the draft, where we think they should go, where

37
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: they potentially may go, we'll sort of look at how

38
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: many picks they have, what they're being mocked as potentially

39
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: drafting that sort of thing. So that'll be the next

40
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: few weeks. Because of that. Again, the film Festival going

41
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: on a little bit of a hiatus, just because I

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: don't necessarily want these pods to be like two hours

43
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: long when we're doing this. So we'll get back to

44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: that in a few weeks, probably after the draft. At

45
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: some point. It gives us a whole summer of movies

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: potentially to watch. So if you were ready for us

47
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: to talk about Desperado, just hold that thought. We'll get

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: back to that really, really soon. Today we're gonna look

49
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: at the AFC and the NFC East, gonna look at

50
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: each of the four teams and kind of figure out

51
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: where they may be going and whether or not this

52
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: impacts some of their guys fantasy. Why so, let's start

53
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: in the AFC. I'm doing this alphabetical order, lest you

54
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: think I'm trying to pick a finishing order for whatever

55
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: we're doing. So we're gonna start with the Buffalo Bills

56
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: in the AFC East. And I promise this isn't because

57
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to butter up Florio or anything. It just

58
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: happened to work out that way, that's all it is.

59
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: The Bills this year, they have six total picks in

60
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: the draft. They have the twenty seventh overall pick in

61
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: the first round. I went and looked up the team needs.

62
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: Article that Dan Pard Eric Edholme put together. You can

63
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: find that on NFL dot com. And according to their estimation,

64
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: the Bills could use a wide receiver, defensive tackle, and

65
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: a linebacker. Two of those three things don't really matter

66
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: for us in fantasy football. When I looked at some

67
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: of the most recent mock drafts on our site, all

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: of the or several of the analysts we have here

69
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 1: have them going offensive in the first round. Quentin Johnston

70
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: is mocked by Daniel Jeremiah. Bucky Brooks has them taking

71
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison from USC and Lance Zerline. Maybe the eye

72
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: opener be Jean Robinson going to the Buffalo Bills. But

73
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: maybe the biggest question is, and you know this team

74
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: better than anybody's sitting in this room right now, is

75
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: it time for them to start spending some of these

76
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: early round picks on the offensive side of the ball. Yeah,

77
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: And uh, if if it was up to me, that

78
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: that would be the focal point, Like they've they've tried

79
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: doing it the way of building up the defense for

80
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: you year now like like and for a while it

81
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: was like if we we got to build up d

82
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: line and they use picks on like at Oliver and

83
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: their whole D line outside of von Miller. Is their

84
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: big free agent signing is picks that they use like

85
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: first and second round picks on and then every year

86
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: in the playoffs it gets punched in the mouth. So

87
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: invest in your best player, invest in why you are

88
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: a top team, a super Bowl contender, and that is

89
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: and always will be Josh Allen as long as Josh

90
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: Allen is playing at the peak of his ability. So

91
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: looking at the madraft, Quinton Johnson, Jordan Addison, b Jean Robinson,

92
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: I would be happy with any of those. Bijon is

93
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: the one that feels like as it's not a need,

94
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: it's a luxury, Like you're like, all right, we could

95
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: get this workhorse running back here, but then you have

96
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: a very crowded backfield. Quintin Johnson. Johnson is the one

97
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: that I'm most excited for if this was to work out,

98
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: because I think he has the upside to be a

99
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: true one at the NFL level, where I think, like

100
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Addison is more of a number two. Johnston also, I

101
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: think works well because the Bills didn't really have a

102
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: lot of yat guys last year, Like Dave Davis is

103
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: more of a downfield stretcher, and Johnston is the best

104
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: YAK receiver in this class. I would say so, I

105
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: think he fits, but any I will be ecstatic if

106
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: they could take a running back or a wide receiver

107
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: in round one rather than like a defensive lineman, which

108
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: they've been doing year and year. Again, I said, I

109
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: was going back through their recent draft history, and you

110
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: go back to twenty fifteen, so where you're like eight,

111
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: eight years, nine years now. The only offensive player they

112
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: have taken in the first round since then is Josh Allen.

113
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: That's it. It has been very heavy on the defensive

114
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: side of the ball. Now, look, they've gotten some decent

115
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: players kind of in the second round. I mean they

116
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: got James Cook in the second round last year. I

117
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: mean Zach Moss didn't quite work out. He was a

118
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: third round pick the year before. Devin Singletary a third

119
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: round pick in twenty nineteen. So they are spending some

120
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: draft capital on that side of the ball. But they're

121
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: certainly not really investing very heavily in there. But this

122
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: isn't just because he's a USC guy. I like the

123
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: idea of Jordan Addison going there because I think he's

124
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: a really nice compliment to Stefan Diggs. There are two

125
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: guys who are very similar in the sense that, you know,

126
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,559
Speaker 1: maybe more quick than fast. They win with route running.

127
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: They can find ways to get open and earn targets.

128
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: And when you've got a guy like Josh Allen, I

129
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: think that's sort of all you want, is just that

130
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: guy that can present himself as a really nice target.

131
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: They do, without a doubt need a consistent second wide receiver.

132
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: And I think you've got a guy in Gabe Davis

133
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: that can be a field stretcher. He can kind of

134
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: take the top off the defense, get down the field,

135
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: open some things up underneath for you know, for Diggs,

136
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: for here, whoever, if it's Addison, if it's Dawson Knox,

137
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: and just kind of create that space in the field.

138
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: But I think we learned this past year that Gabe

139
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: Davis is not suited to consistently be a number two

140
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: wide receiver week in and week out. Interesting you mentioned

141
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: Quinton Johnston because our pal and wide receiver grew. Matt Harman,

142
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: just as you were speaking, tweeted out his reception perception

143
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: profile for one Quinton Johnston. I mean it's almost like

144
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: Harmon is listening to what we're saying right now and

145
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: tweets it out this as you were talking about, and

146
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: I would just give you the bullet points. Very good

147
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: success rate versus man coverage, but on a relatively small

148
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: handful of routes, middling results versus press coverage, very poor

149
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: against zone coverage. And the thing a lot of people

150
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: have been saying is that kind of a body catcher,

151
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: which is kind of a thing. There's a lot of

152
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: negatives with him, but um there's pob I do think that,

153
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: like with the right coaching staff, you can mold him

154
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: into a very useful receiver. But to your point of

155
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: them needing a number two last season, through like the

156
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: whole second half of the season, teams were doublings to

157
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: Fund Diggs and I would like repeatedly be on Twitter

158
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: like why are you choosing not to your best player?

159
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: You're doing what the defense wants. But teams figured out

160
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: like if we takes the Fund Diggs away, good luck.

161
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's not gonna have to scram because the old

162
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: line was poor, and then he's gonna have to try

163
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: to find Gabe Davis one of these secondary options, like

164
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: another pass catcher. There will go such a long way.

165
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: They definitely need somebody there. I will ask you, though,

166
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: do they need to at some point, you know, and

167
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be early in this draft. Do

168
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: they need to add to their backfield just because it

169
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: seems like there isn't any real plan there? Right? We

170
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: can talk about they bring in all these guys who

171
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: catch the football out of the backfield, but then they

172
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: don't throw them the football. I know they're leaning on

173
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: James could potentially this year, but do they need to

174
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: add somebody there? Like I would love a Bijean Robinson

175
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: and to have someone that you can finally be like, Okay,

176
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: we could take some pressure off of Josh Allen. But

177
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: I don't think the one. I'm not sure if he

178
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: falls to twenty seven. And I would be shocked if

179
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: being traded up to get a running back because their

180
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: GM is always like all the running backs to taker

181
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: in the third round. I actually, I do think they'll

182
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: add someone, but I think it'll be day two, maybe

183
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: even day three, because I think they're gonna feel better

184
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: about James Cook. I think last year was about getting

185
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: his feet wet and letting him kind of play that

186
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: secondary role, and this is the year they want to

187
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: let him go. But there's Damien Harris there, and then

188
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: I think people keep overlooking that he Hans is there

189
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: as well. So I do. I don't think they have

190
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: a great back or a great backfield or anything, but

191
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: I do think they have depth. So I would be

192
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 1: surprised if they did anything huge, like a big splash,

193
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: like I would be shocked if they got Bijeon or

194
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: Gibbs at this point. Even though a lot of people

195
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: are mocking Bijean to the Bills, Yeah, I've seen a

196
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: lot of that. You know it. I don't want it.

197
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: So I remember a few years ago, right, we were

198
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: like the chief need to get a running back, and

199
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: they traded up. They traded back into the first round

200
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: to get Clyde Edwards, Hilaria. We were fired up about that.

201
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: That didn't work out. Bijeon is better than ceh Oh,

202
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: So I don't think. I don't think. I think if

203
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: the Bills decide to go that route, I don't think

204
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: we'll have any sort of sort of fear about that.

205
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: Typhon Kalani makes a good point too. A thing that

206
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah Bucky Brooks always talk about is if you

207
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: are if you are finding yourself as a competitive team,

208
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: right if your goal is to win the Super Bowl,

209
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: you have to figure out how to keep up with

210
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and that means adding pieces on offense, because defensively,

211
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: nobody has found the skeleton key to lock this defense up.

212
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: That means you just got to keep scoring. And in

213
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: that point, I think what the Bills have done for

214
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: the last since the twenty twenty AFC Championship Game where

215
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs blew there the doors off of them, I

216
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: think every move the Bills have made has been about

217
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: beating the Chiefs, and to be honest, they've had success

218
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: doing it. Like they've beat them both times in the

219
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: regular seasons the last two years, and then in the

220
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: playoffs when they met it was the thirteen second crazy game.

221
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: Like the Bills I think are building this defense solely

222
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: in the idea of trying to slow down Patrick Mahomes.

223
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: But what we've seen is that like the defense with

224
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: the top offenses with the Bengals that happened last year

225
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: against the with the Chiefs, like they can only slow

226
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: them down to a point, and then you're asking Josh

227
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: Allen to keep up with these offenses and when like

228
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: the Bengals showed everything like, if you can limit Josh Allen,

229
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: this Bills team has no chance of winning in the playoffs.

230
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: So I think you need to make it as hard

231
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: as possible to slow down Josh Allen. And because yeah,

232
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: I agree, I think the only way the Bills get

233
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: over this hump is they're gonna have to not only

234
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: be able to outscore the Chiefs, but the Bengals as well. Yeah.

235
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I know, everybody wants to play defense,

236
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: and that's important and you gotta get stops. But the

237
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: way this league is going, when you're talking about the

238
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: top level teams, it really is who can win the

239
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: track meet who can score more points? And for all

240
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: that you want to do defensively, you know you might

241
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: have to score forty to beat the Chiefs. To beat

242
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: the Bengals, the Chiefs are doing it with a hodgepodge

243
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: of nobody's at waters. Like I love Kadarius Tony, but

244
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: like he's ere a one going into this season right now.

245
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: It is it is a grab bag of wide receivers

246
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: that they got there in Kansas City. Let's look at

247
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. They have four total picks in this draft.

248
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: They do not have a first round pick. They had

249
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: to forfeit it after the league found Stephen Ross guilty

250
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: of game violations integrity of the game violations. Basically, this

251
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: is their punishment, so they don't have a first round pick.

252
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: Their first pick is number fifty one in the second round.

253
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: Going back to the team needs document offensive line, running back,

254
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: tight end, so basically beefing up that offense. Defense I

255
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: think has been pretty good over the last couple of years.

256
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: I went and looked at some other second round mocks

257
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: around the internet, and some of the names that sort

258
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: of popped up Kendram Miller from TCU, the running back there,

259
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: Devin ah Shane. I think I'm saying that right. I'm

260
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: probably not. I apologize if I'm not, but running back

261
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: from Texas A and M and a tight end Luke

262
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: Musgrave from Oregon State. So a lot of suggestions that

263
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are going to add some pieces to the offense.

264
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: Could a rookie pass catcher succeed here when you already

265
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: have Tyree Hill and Jalen Waddle? Admittedly Mike Gasiki is

266
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: now gone. Is there room for another pass catcher in

267
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: this offense? I don't think so. I think it could

268
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: be a situation, especially like if they get one of

269
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: these rookie tight ends, because I know it's such a

270
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: deep class where they'll be good weeks for them, but

271
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be consistent enough where for fantasy

272
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: you'd be like, Okay, I could trust this guy, because

273
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: we know Tyree Hill and Jalen Waddle pretty much are

274
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: gonna get close to double digit targets each and every week,

275
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: and the weeks that they don't get that many targets,

276
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: it could be because you know, Tyreek Hill broke a

277
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: sixty yard touchdowns, just less pass plays that you need,

278
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: because that's how explosive these two are. So we saw

279
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: last year the third option in this offense was different

280
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: each week almost because that's the other thing with Mike McDaniel,

281
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: like he's gonna game plan your weakness and he's gonna

282
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: find it and attack it. And so I would like

283
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: to see them add to this offense here to give

284
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: to just even some more weapons around him, But I

285
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: don't think for fantasy it would do a whole lot.

286
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm on the side thinking that they should get a

287
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: running back because Raheem Mostart Jeff Wilson, Like, those guys

288
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: are really serviceable, but that's all they are, you know,

289
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: and like they're also both misstime due to injuries, and

290
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: you don't want it to be a situation like they

291
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: had at the end of last year, where like you're

292
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: digging deep into your running back depth. So I would

293
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: like to see them add an explosive running back because

294
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: I think someone that's fast and has breakaway speed could

295
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: do a lot of damage in this offense. Yeah, by

296
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: the way, devon a chain a chain, I have been informed,

297
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: So sorry for blowing at the first time, but I

298
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: was surprised in free agency hearing all this talk that

299
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: the Dolphins wanted to do something big, that they wanted

300
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: to make a big splash and maybe add a big

301
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: name running back. Now I know some of the wind

302
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: was taken out of their sales when a lot of

303
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: those names were franchise tag, right, they immediately didn't have

304
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: a shot at se Quan or Tony Pollard or Josh Jacobs.

305
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: So that's where it took a lot of it out

306
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: of their hands. But didn't the turnaround and basically resign

307
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: the guys you had to bring back. Wilson Mostard and

308
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: Miles Gaskin that that surprised me a little bit, and

309
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: so maybe it is. Maybe it's opening the deck for

310
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: them to go out and draft a guy in the

311
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: second round, and I think that's potentially where we see

312
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: them go. I mean, I'm looking at the targets right

313
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: last year, Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle took fifty percent

314
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: of fifty one percent actually of the targets in that offense. Look,

315
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: there's still room potentially for somebody to go out and

316
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: maybe get another fifteen percent in there. But it seems

317
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: really really difficult to do. Like you really got to

318
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: make yourself available. You have to be a high level

319
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: target earner. And I don't know that where the Dolphins

320
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: are picking, there is that guy available. And I think,

321
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, you're going to see a lot of wide

322
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: receivers go first round, probably early second round when you're

323
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: talking about getting to the mid to later part of

324
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: that second round, I don't know that there's that guy

325
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: that comes in and he's immediately a big play guy.

326
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: I know the scouts love Musgrave at tight end. They

327
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: really like his upside, what he can be. I think,

328
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, you look at his sample size at Oregon

329
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: stay you look at the production you had. You know,

330
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: there's some nice things about it. There are also some

331
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: things that are worth questioning here. It was a very

332
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: deep tight end class, so it could be that running

333
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: back is the place to go. If that happens, though,

334
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: then how do we how do we handle this this

335
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins offense? Right? We know that most certain Wilson are

336
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: going to get touches. You know, if they draft another

337
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: rookie running back, does this mean we stay away from

338
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: this backfield altogether? I think it would be a backfield

339
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: where the like if we're talking like eighth, ninth round,

340
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: maybe later you could be like probably in the double

341
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: digit rounds even you could be like, I'm okay taking

342
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: a stab at it here and seeing what I can get.

343
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: But outside of that, yeah, I wouldn't paston if it's

344
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: three running backs and we're true because last year with

345
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: Mostard in Wilson week to week was like a head scratcher.

346
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,239
Speaker 1: Like some most weeks, Wilson played the more snaps, but

347
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: most sometimes we'll get more carries. They would split targets.

348
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: It was very confusing to figure out. So if you

349
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: had a third piece in here, it makes them at

350
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: best flex options and probably later round picks. Yeah, it's just,

351
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, it just really is not a great situation

352
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: for fantasy if we're talking about a three headed potential attack.

353
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: You know, I would imagine that whoever, if they draft

354
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: the running back, whoever it is, is going to be

355
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: in competition for snaps and touches, and that's just going

356
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: to be a really gross situation for us to try

357
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: to monitor at any point in the offseason. The Patriots

358
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting situation there in New England eleven

359
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: total picks there one pick in the first round comes

360
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: at number fourteen. There needs the need defensive back, they

361
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: needed offensive tackle, They need a wide receiver. I sort

362
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: of chuckled to myself when I saw that they needed

363
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, because at this point, do we trust

364
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick to draft a wide receiver. It's just it

365
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: has been a It has been a glaring weak spot

366
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: throughout his career. All the other things he's accomplished, he

367
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: has not been able to scout wide receivers very effectively.

368
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: Looking at some of the mocks though on NFL dot Com,

369
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah has been taking Bijean Robinson, which sort of

370
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: seems great unless you like remind Ray Stevenson, which kind

371
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 1: of destroys both of those guys. Bucky Brooks has been

372
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: taking an offensive tackle Broderick Jones from Georgia, and Lanzerline

373
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: has been taking Anthony Richardson from Florida. So you say no,

374
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: all right, which is which is sort of funny. But

375
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: you know, there are rumors out there, and again it

376
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: might just be rumor, but that you know, Bill Belichick

377
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: and Robert Kraft are sort of butting heads over the

378
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: future of the quarterback position and whether or not it's

379
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: time to move on from Mac Jones. So maybe this

380
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: is just sort of wish casting based on you know,

381
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: just the sort of the rumor mill. But you're why

382
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: are you so against Anthony Richardson going to New England

383
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: Because everything that Bill beck like, Look, he's the goat,

384
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: he's a legend. I don't want to take anything away

385
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: from him. But everything he has touched since Brady left

386
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: has been bad, Like the offense has been awful. Like

387
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: I understand cam Newton was broken down at that point

388
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: in dealing with shoulder injuries, and but then he showed

389
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: some promise with mac Jones, and first of all. Not

390
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: only do I not trust Bill Belichick to draft a

391
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver, Let's look at the pass catchers that he

392
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: gave a boatload of money to just a couple of

393
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: years ago. John hu Smith is now on the Falcons.

394
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: Nelson Aghilor, who he made one of the highest paid

395
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: receivers in that free agent class, is with the Ravens.

396
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry's been okay, Kendrick Bourne has been okay. Like

397
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick hasn't really done a great job of building

398
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: up this offense. As of job, Myers is maybe the

399
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: best in that group. He was undrafted gone, And the

400
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: only thing that makes sense to me is with what

401
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: he decided to do last year with the OC, bringing

402
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: in a special teams coordinator and a defensive coordinator and

403
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: being like YouTube figure out the offense each week, is

404
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: that he probably is sick of Mac Jones already and

405
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: was like I want to make him look bad and

406
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: not develop or whatever. But like, I don't feel confident

407
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: that Anthony Richardson will go there and we will get

408
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: the best version of Anthony Richardson. Like I think that

409
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: it fits the ground and pound style that like the

410
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: Patriots wanted to do with Cam Newton where they're controlling

411
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: the ball the clock and they're just running the ball

412
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: the whole time. But like for fantasy, there's much better

413
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: landing spots for him. I will say this, if there

414
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: is a silver lining to Anthony Richardson landing in New England. Again,

415
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: this is all is your mock drafts, This is all speculation,

416
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: but it's Bill O'Brien now being the offensive coordinator there

417
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: in New England coming back to the Patriots after kind

418
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: of being all around the place for the last few years.

419
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson certainly was much more of a finished product

420
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: when he got to the NFL. I mean, he had

421
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: played at a really high level in college. There was

422
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: very little doubt that he was going to be successful

423
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Whereas we're still sort of looking at

424
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: Richardson as kind of a guy with tools that may

425
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: need a little bit more refinement. Bill O'Brien could be

426
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: that guy to sort of build him up there. Now.

427
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: The other part of it, though, is what does he

428
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: have around him if he does go to New England.

429
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: Who's catching the football? What are they doing for him

430
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: at as pass catchers? And that still remains up in

431
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: the air, which goes back to our earlier point about

432
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick not doing a very good job with that position.

433
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: Is there a player or should we actually be rooting

434
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: for a player that we like, Say it's Robinson Richardson,

435
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: say it's b Jean Robinson. Should we be rooting for

436
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: one of these guys to land there? And do we

437
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: want them to stay away? I very and I don't

438
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: say this as like a Bills fan who watched the

439
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: Patriots dominate the division for two decades, because I think

440
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: those days are long gone. I do not want players

441
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: I like ending up in New England. Let them take

442
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: an alignment a defensive player. Yeah, Bill Belichick, you still

443
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: do good to work on the defensive side. Why don't

444
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: you just load up on there, try to win your

445
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: seven to nine games this year, and then let us

446
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: enjoy the fun pieces of this draft. Because they're gonna

447
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: bring Beijan there, let's say, and like they're gonna like

448
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a hey, we're gonna give Bejean

449
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: Robinson three hundred touches, which is what other teams I

450
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: think will do. I think it's gonna be a situation like, hey,

451
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: Stevenson will get involved We'll probably find some guy off

452
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: the street to give ten carries too in random games, because,

453
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: like we say it all the time, Bill Belichick does

454
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: not care about fantasy, and the Patriots offense have made

455
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: that abundantly clear in recent years. Yeah, I mean, they

456
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: really don't. They don't care. They're gonna put together what

457
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: they think is the best team or the team that

458
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: can most win games. It may not be exciting, it

459
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: may not be interesting. I don't want Bijon there because

460
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: you know, we want the door to stay open for

461
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: Ramandre and we wanted to be able for Bijan too.

462
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: You put them both in the same backfield, and that

463
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: limits both of their potentials there. I don't know, the

464
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: idea of Anthony Richardson is sort of intriguing, but I

465
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: would need to know they're going to spend some more

466
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: draft capital, some more resources to put an offense around him,

467
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: And I would like for somebody not named Bill Belichick

468
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: to be scouting some of these pass catchers. If that's

469
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: really the case about his dog, I think I want

470
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: his dog scouting them either. But eleven total picks, right,

471
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean that means there's an opportunity to go out

472
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: and get somebody. Even if this isn't the deepest wide

473
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: receiver draft class, there is a chance to go out

474
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: and maybe take a few swings at the position. Maybe

475
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: that's what they need here if they're going to really

476
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: go and spend a first round pick in the middle

477
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: of the round a quarterback. The other part of this, though,

478
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: and I think this is sort of a new philosophy

479
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: among NFL teams, is not being afraid to go back

480
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: to the quarterback. Well, if the guy you drafted isn't

481
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: doing what you expected him to do. And I immediately

482
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: think of Josh Rosen in Arizona, h you know, the

483
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: Cardinals spent the high pick on him. I think number nine.

484
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: I think excited. I think I think if I remember right,

485
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: he was going sort of Arias Stark and like was

486
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: listening the names of all the people drafted ahead of him,

487
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: sort of thing that didn't work out. So it wasn't

488
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: that long after that they went out and they drafted

489
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray mac Jones is better than Josh Rosen. I'll

490
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: just put that out there right now. That's not really

491
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: an argument. Mack Wilson, though, another one went second and

492
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: they two years in they they've given up on They're

493
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: given up on him, right, They're they're trying to make

494
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: a move for Aaron Rodgers, and I think this is

495
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: potentially what the Patriots were looking at. Remember last year

496
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: there was real talk about should Bailey Zappi take over

497
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 1: the starting job at some point? So there is at

498
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: least some discontent with mac Jones and maybe that's leading

499
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: to this, this rumor that Anthony Richardson could be the guy.

500
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: I do like the way that a lot of teams

501
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: like the direction that's going in because my philosophy was

502
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: always like if I was a GM, I guess more

503
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: so would have to be the owner because if I

504
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: was a GM, I would get fired if I wanted.

505
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: But like my approach would be churning burn quarterback like

506
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: rookie draft uarterbacks until I found a franchise guy. Like

507
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: if you're just a league average quarterback, I'm gonna sit

508
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: ship you off and I'm gonna try to find because

509
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: I truly believe you can only win a Super Bowl

510
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: either if you have a franchise quarterback or everything else

511
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: in your roster needs to be perfect. Yeah, it really does.

512
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you know what's I think franchise

513
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: quarterback is the important part. I don't even think it

514
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: has to be a quarterback on a rookie deal. I

515
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: think it was Warren Sharp recently to put out a

516
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: tweet thread about how few quarterbacks on rookie deals are

517
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: actually having great success at the NFL level. You can

518
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: get a couple of them here and there, but for

519
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: the most part, the guys winning Super Bowls are our

520
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: franchise quarterbacks who are probably on their second or third

521
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: contract at this point. I think Pat Mahomes into an extent,

522
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow spoiled this a little bit, like that's the right.

523
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: It's like, if it was that easy, everybody would do

524
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: it right. Exactly. Last one in the AFC East, the

525
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: New York Jetropolitans, they got six total picks. They do

526
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: have a round one pick. It is number thirteen. Now.

527
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: According to Dan Parr and Eric at Home, their needs

528
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: are offensive line, defensive tackle, in safety. And I would say,

529
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,479
Speaker 1: as of this moment, as we are recording this in

530
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: the morning on April fifth, they need a quarterback. Now,

531
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: we assume they're gonna get this done with Aaron Rodgers,

532
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: but as of this moment, until it is done, they're

533
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: missing something at the quarterback position. Now, the mocks for

534
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: them in the first round, nothing that is immediately fantasy relevant.

535
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah hasn't taking Nolan Smith and edge rusher from Georgia.

536
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: Buckie Brooks has been taking oh Sirens Taurus offensive lineman

537
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: from Florida, and lanzer Line hasn't taking Roderick Jones to

538
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: tackle from Georgia. Do the Jets have any actual needs

539
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: on offense if they're able to get this Aaron Rodgers

540
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: thing done, do they really have any needs on offense,

541
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: especially at the skill position. It's insanely wild to say

542
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: about the New York Jets, but I don't think so.

543
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: Like they'd be set at quarterback with Aaron Rodgers, and

544
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: they've already said Zach Wilson will be their number two

545
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: running back. They're set with Breeze Hall, Ozonovian Knight in

546
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: Michael Carter at receiver, like Garrett Wilson is a young star.

547
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: They have Alan Lazard, There's still Corey Davis there. They

548
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: brought in Mikole Hardman maybe tight end, but I mean,

549
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think they're comfortable with that. To me,

550
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: the only thing they really need to improve upon for

551
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: offense is their offensive line. Especially if you're bringing in

552
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: a forty year old quarterback, you do not want him

553
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: taking hits like that. So I think they use this

554
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: pick because I don't even know if they have a

555
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: tone of needs on defense either. Like, the Jets are

556
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: a really well constructed team, which is probably the first

557
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: time we could say that this millennium. But they're really

558
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: built well and if you put Aaron Rodgers in there,

559
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: they don't have a big need outside of a line

560
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: in my opinion, No, they really don't. I mean to

561
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: tight end is probably the place if they need a

562
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: skill position guy they can they can maybe take a

563
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: swing at, and this is the draft to do it

564
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: because there are a lot of guys I believe. I

565
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: believe DJ said he has thirteen guys that he has

566
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: a starting level grade on in this draft, and that

567
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: that is, you know, that's a huge, huge number. I'm

568
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: really trying to think because I'm not sure when the

569
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: last time the Jets had a credible tight end. I

570
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: mean literally, you might be going back to the I

571
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: don't know if they ever have. You might be going

572
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: back to the George Bush Senior administration. Since they have.

573
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: It's been a really long time. They've just basically punted

574
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: on the position. So I guess if they wanted to

575
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: spend some draft capital on that, they could probably do that.

576
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: But but I think skill position wise, I think they're

577
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: they're really set. It really is just the quarterback that

578
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 1: they got to figure out. Um, if they do get

579
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, are they legit contender to win the AFC East? Yes,

580
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: so whin the AFC East. I think the AFC East

581
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: would be the most competitive division in football potentially because

582
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: people keep saying like, oh, Bills or Jets. It's like,

583
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: did you guys forget how close the Dolphins were last year?

584
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: We didn't get hurt? How that might have went. So, yeah,

585
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: the AFC East might have three teams that could compete

586
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: for playoff spots, super Bowl contender. I would still put

587
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: the Jets behind the Chiefs, Bengals, and Bills, But after that,

588
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: I think they're end the Eagles if we're talking NFC

589
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: teams as well. But after that, I think they're right

590
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: in the mix. I mean, you know, again, assuming this

591
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers thing happens, which it seems like it will,

592
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: the AFC East is going to be absolutely loaded. You know,

593
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 1: the Patriots look right now like the worst team in

594
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: that division. They could still win eight games this year.

595
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: It's going to be a brutal, brutal division. Potentially. We're

596
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: not done. We're halfway through with this. When we're gonna

597
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: take a break, come back, and we're gonna look at

598
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: the NFC East teams Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, and Commanders dive

599
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: into what we think they should be doing come this

600
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: draft season. Stay tuned for more of that after the

601
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: break here on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. Turning the

602
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: page to the NFC East now, and we'll start with

603
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. They've got seven total picks. They have

604
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: the twenty first or twenty sixth pick, I should say,

605
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: in the first round. According to Parr and ed Home,

606
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys could use a defensive lineman, an offensive lineman,

607
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: and a tight end. Of the big three first round

608
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,479
Speaker 1: monks that I took a look at on NFL dot Com,

609
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: Lance Zerline is the only one that has them going offensive,

610
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: taking Quinton Johnston from TCU, Daniel Jeremiah hasn't taken Mozzi

611
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: Smith from Michigan defensive tackle, and Bookie Brooks has him

612
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: taking Brian received the defensive tackle from Clemson. But what

613
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: is not listed in the mocks, but we know is

614
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: hanging out there because Jerry is always going to Jerry.

615
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: They just moved on from Ezekiel Elliott. But Jerry likes

616
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: to be old school. He wants to play defense, he

617
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: wants to run the rock. Could they go and take

618
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: a star running back from the state of Texas and

619
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: draft Vjen Robinson And if they do, do we have

620
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: to pour one out for Tony Pollard. I Jerry Jones

621
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: will do this. I think if he falls to twenty six,

622
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you will make it that far.

623
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: But let's not forget when when the Cowboys took Ceedee Lamb,

624
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: the receiving corps was a Marii Cooper, Michael Gallop and

625
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb and and that's when people thought Cob could

626
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: still play and they were like, they're the last thing

627
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: the Sea needs is another receiver. But it fell to

628
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: him and Jerry was like, this is the best player

629
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: available and I'm gonna take him. So yeah, I would

630
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: not put it past Jerry to take Bijean Robinson, but

631
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: I think we'd have to pour one out for both

632
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: of these running backs, at least that their current ADP.

633
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: They're both going as top ten running backs and rightfully so.

634
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: But with them on the same team, yeah, I would.

635
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: I would have struggle to have both of them be RB.

636
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: One's probably put both of them more in the like

637
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: somewhere between like ten and fifty because they're too good

638
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: to put lower than like RB fifteen, right, but they're

639
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: not guaranteed enough work to put in the top ten.

640
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: It would be it would be really frustrating. So by

641
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: the way, as we were talking, it's almost like people

642
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: are knowing what we're talking about, helping us out here.

643
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah just posted his updated top fifty prospects for

644
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: the draft, and Bijean Robinson right now sitting at number

645
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: three of the top fifty prospects. I was just gonna say,

646
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: before anyone says, oh, don't take a running back in

647
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: the first round, like, if you believe be Jean Robinson

648
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,479
Speaker 1: is as good as we all believe he is, I

649
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: think it is super smart to take him in the

650
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: first round because then you get five years of him

651
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: and then you could franchise him for the smallest franchise

652
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: at in tag at any of the positions, and you're

653
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: getting six seven years out of this running back before

654
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: you even have to think about giving him a second contract. Yeah,

655
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's I think it's worth talking about,

656
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: and especially where they would be drafting him. Right You're

657
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: talking about a late first round pick for the Cowboys.

658
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: It's not like you're taking him at twelve. And look,

659
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: here's the thing. The scouts believe he's good enough to

660
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: go that high. It's just more of a business side

661
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: of football thing that's sort of keeping him down at

662
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: this point. Side note, DJ has Jordan Addison as his

663
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: why receiver one right now. Yeah, you got him thirteenth

664
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: overall in the top fifty, the first wide receiver off

665
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: the board, or at least the most talented of the

666
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: wide receivers in this class, I should say, according to

667
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah and the latest Top fifty that just landed

668
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: on NFL dot com. Um another maybe more relevant question though,

669
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: outside of the Bijean Robinson thing, because that you know

670
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: that that's sort of a long shot. Which side note

671
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: to this, If Bijean's still on the board when the

672
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys come up, everybody's going to keep you know, keep

673
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: their eyes on Jerry. It's going to be like when

674
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel was available and everybody knew that Jerry Jones

675
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: wanted Johnny Manziel so badly, and you feel like, I

676
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: feel like everybody in the front office had to basically

677
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: tie him to a chair and stuff a sock in

678
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: his mouth so he didn't just grab the phone and

679
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: scream Johnny Manziel's name, you know, and they went offensive

680
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: lineman and that was a much better choice for them

681
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: at that point. But maybe more relevant here Dalton Schultz

682
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: is gone. Could a rookie tight end actually be more

683
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: of a help, at least fantasy wise in this offense?

684
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: I think so. Um, I'm not gonna say that like

685
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: I've dove into the tight end class like like Daniel

686
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,280
Speaker 1: Jeremiah has, yet I'm working my way through the position still.

687
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 1: But everything that you hear and read about the tight

688
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: ends is how deep of a class this is and

689
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: how much playmakers there are here. So yeah, there's a

690
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: lot of work up for grabs because Dalton Schultz was

691
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 1: the number two target of this offense last year behind

692
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: Cede Lamb. I think either a tight end or like

693
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: I don't love Quinton Johnson going here because he's more

694
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: of an outside receiver and they have Brendand Cooks and

695
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: Cede Lamb. I would like to see someone who could

696
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: play more in the slot and out. Why maybe it's

697
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: a Flowers, Jordan Addison fits that as well. But another

698
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: pass catcher, whether it be someone who could play the

699
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: slot receiver as well or a tight end, I think

700
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 1: will be enough to really push this offense over the top.

701
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: You know, I'm interested to see what happens. Would say

702
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: like a guy like Dalton Kincaid, if a fair looking

703
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: tight end, Dalton Kincaid, the guy out of Utah doesn't

704
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: really offer you much as a blocker, but is a

705
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: great pass catcher. I'm still shuddering. And the fact that

706
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: he would for was sixteen I think two forty five

707
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: and a touchdown against USC. I was like, how did

708
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: I've watched that game. I'm like, that's not fair that

709
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: they get to play Travis Kelsey on their team. I

710
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: don't understand how that works. But could be a guy

711
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: that sort of gives you that pass catching Now, he doesn't,

712
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: as I said, give you much as a blocker. If

713
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: they do want to go tight end, Michael Mayor maybe

714
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: more of an all around guy. I see. The comp

715
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: I saw for Michael Mayor is Jason Witten, which I'm

716
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: sure would warm Jerry's heart to bring in another Jason

717
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: Witten type guy to kind of run routes and be

718
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything for you there. I think

719
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: the issue is adding a pass catcher for the Cowboys

720
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: fantasy wise, is great for Dak Prescott. Maybe not so

721
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 1: much for that player individually, because you know, Ceedee Lamb's

722
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: going to get his They went out and they got

723
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 1: Brandon Cook, so he's there to catch the football. Tony

724
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: Poll is going to get his targets. So you add

725
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: another pass character to the mixing, it's gonna be hard

726
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: for that player to consistently get looks. But man, that

727
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 1: means great things for Dak. He has that many more

728
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: weapons in this offense. The New York Football Giants who

729
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: made it to the playoffs this past year, they have

730
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: ten total picks, one pick in the first round that

731
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: is number twenty five. They need a wide receiver. They

732
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: need a lot of wide receivers. They need wide receivers

733
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: in the very worst way. They could use an offensive lineman,

734
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: and they could use a cornerback as well. Two of

735
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: the three mock drafters I looked at have them going

736
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: offensive line in the first round. DJ hasn't taken Joe

737
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: Tipman from Wisconsin, Buckie has been taking John Michael Schmidt's

738
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: the center from Minnesota, and Lands Airline has them going

739
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 1: defensive back. Brian Branch the corner from Alabama. The Giants

740
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: just need a wide receiver, but they have a whole

741
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: team full of slot receivers. You know, Sterley Shepherd is back,

742
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: They've got jan Dale Robinson. What they said that there

743
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: is slate, they just have a ton Actually I don't

744
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: think is there a slate and officially signed. I think

745
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: he might to actually be a free agent, but I

746
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: know they brought in Paris Campbell and Jamison Crowder who

747
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: were both slot guys. Like they just have so many

748
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: slot receivers. Hodgens for sure is one that could play

749
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:16,439
Speaker 1: out wide. And I think they did get a deal

750
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: done with They did get it. Yes they do. They

751
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: do have Slayton back. He just he resigned a couple

752
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, so he is back. If they need

753
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: an outside receiver, is there one? Is there one that

754
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: they can easily attain in this draft. I mean, maybe

755
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: if Quinton Johnston was to fall to them, but I

756
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: don't know if he makes it to twenty five. I

757
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: also don't know if they take a receiver at twenty five.

758
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: I could see them more going with the secondary crop,

759
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: maybe like a Jalen Hyatt, who is someone who could

760
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: win down field, be a field chatcher for them, who

761
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: I've recently fallen in love with the idea of him

762
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: ending up on the Chargers. But I don't know if

763
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: they'll do it in the first round go for a

764
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I wouldn't more so think they might load

765
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 1: up maybe a second and third round receiver or something

766
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: like that, because at twenty five there's a chance that

767
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: the four top receivers could all be off the board already.

768
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: You mentioned Jalen Hyatt to the Chargers. I've seen that

769
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: mocked in a few places, and that's another one that

770
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: I think is great for the Chargers, not so much

771
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: for Hyatt's fantasy value, because there's just a lot of

772
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: targets to sort of deal with their Yeah, you know,

773
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 1: you're right. I don't think they spend that first round

774
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: pick on a wide receiver because I think a lot

775
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: of the guys that could potentially be difference makers for

776
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: them are going to be gone and will probably still

777
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: be around in the second or third round, maybe a

778
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: guy like Cedric Tillman, although I'm starting to see more

779
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: buzz about him potentially moving up draft boards. The wide

780
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: receiver out of Tennessee. You know, I just don't know,

781
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: because this isn't This isn't the deepest class. We've had

782
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: a lot of really deep draft classes over the last

783
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: few years. This one isn't that. So it could be

784
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 1: that maybe you wait until Day two and you try

785
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: to take that swing at a wide receiver. But I

786
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: do think it's something they have to try to figure

787
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: out because right now they got a whole bunch of

788
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: slot receivers and Darren Waller like, that's it, That's all

789
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: I got. So I love Darren Waller. Right now, so

790
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: many targets are gonna go his way, so many targets

791
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: Darren Waller. I saw our pal Derek Brown d bro

792
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: who says Darren Waller's his number two tight end right

793
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: now behind Travis Kelsey. He the trade happened, and I

794
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: came on the network and because that was like one

795
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: of the move the big moves. They were like, all right,

796
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: let's talk about this for fantasy. And I was like,

797
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: he's back to being a top five tight end and

798
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: I thought that was manbe be a little spice. Nope,

799
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have him tight end two.

800
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: I will say I think he's in obviously one as

801
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: Kelsey after that, I think Waller deserves to be in

802
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: the discussion. I don't know if I would quite have

803
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: him met too, but to me, he's in that second TiO.

804
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: I think he sort of fits in that. You know

805
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: that Andrew's Kittle Hawkinson. I think he's sort of in

806
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: that group there, Pits. Yeah, we're gonna say it. We're

807
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: gonna keep saying it. You know. I'm waiting for all

808
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: the casuals to log back in and be like, you

809
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: guys are talking about this dude, still like get him

810
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,919
Speaker 1: out of our lives. Anytime I tweet something positive about Pitts,

811
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: it's like, why will you not let trust me? He's

812
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: a good play. He's actually good. He's actually good. He's

813
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: just in a bad situation. The Philadelphia Eagles, you're defending

814
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: NFC champions. Six total picks, including two in the first

815
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: round because Howie Roseman continually fleeces all all the other

816
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: gms around the league. They got the tenth pick in

817
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 1: the draft, which they acquired from the New Orleans Saints,

818
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: and they have a number thirty. This team is very

819
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: good offensively needs safety, offensive lineman, and maybe a running back,

820
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: but that is way down the list. So the mos

821
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: here Daniel Jeremiah has them going Lucas Vaness and edge

822
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 1: rusher at the tenth pick, and another edge rusher from

823
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 1: Kansas State Felix and a dk Uzoma at the thirtieth pick.

824
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks has them going defense with both picks Nolan Smith,

825
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: the edge rusher from Georgia, Mozzi Smith the defensive tackle

826
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: from Michigan, and Lance has been going offensive lineman Peter Scronsky,

827
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: the old lineman from with Western and an edge rusher

828
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: Keyon Right White from Georgia Tech. So does Bijean fit here?

829
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: Does he does? He? Does he fit in Philadelphia? One

830
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: hundred percent? He does? But I think this is the

831
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: pie in the sky. Uh, Like, like hope, and I'm

832
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of people. I mean, it's no surprise.

833
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, oh my god. If Bijean was on the Eagles,

834
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: he'd be the RB one, and it's like, yeah, I

835
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: don't disagree, but I don't know of howe Roseman is

836
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: gonna pull the do that at ten, and I don't

837
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: know if Bejean to do it at ten. Yeah, and

838
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna make it to thirty. And

839
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't think Roseman is gonna trade up to get him. Um,

840
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: Bijean would thrive here. But the thing is the Eagles

841
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: lost Aligneman, they lost pieces from that defense. I think

842
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna use those picks to build up those areas

843
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: because no offense to Bijean. I think when you have

844
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback like Jalen Hurts, most running backs can succeed.

845
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: So I am super excited to see what Rashad Penny,

846
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: when healthy, could be for this team. They like Kenny Will,

847
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: they like Boston Scott, and it wouldn't surprise me if

848
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: they were because this running back class is pretty deep

849
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: as well. It wouldn't surprise me if they grabbed a

850
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: running back on Day two or Day three rather than

851
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: taking Bejan. But obviously I think Bijean to the Eagles

852
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,479
Speaker 1: would be amazing for fans. Yeah, I should, I should

853
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 1: sort of rephrase what I said, because Bijean fits anywhere.

854
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think right like I said,

855
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: does he fit in Philadelphia? Yes he does. He fits

856
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: pretty much everywhere. So that's maybe not the thing. But

857
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: does it make sense? And I don't know that it

858
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: does just because of where the Eagles are drafting and

859
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,399
Speaker 1: what some of their other needs are and what they

860
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: currently have, because I do think they're very interested to

861
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 1: see what they have in Rashad Penny. They sort of

862
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: like the supporting pieces around him, So I could see

863
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: them maybe taking a swing at it sometime late in

864
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: the second day, maybe sometime in Day three, I see

865
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: they take a shot at a running back there. I

866
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect that they're going to do a lot of

867
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: big moves offensively in this draft. I mean, they have

868
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: all the things they need. They were in the super Bowl,

869
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: you know, they just they ran up on, you know,

870
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: the guy who could end up being the greatest quarterback

871
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: of all time and they lost. So there's really no shame.

872
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything that they really need to

873
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: change significantly from what they've done last year. So I

874
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,959
Speaker 1: don't imagine they're going to add any pieces that become

875
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: immediately Fantasy relevant come in twenty twenty three. They're in

876
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: a place to where they're gonna like they've already paid

877
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: aj Brown, but they're gonna have to pay Jalen Hurts

878
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: and Rubers where he's gonna ask for fifty million a year,

879
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to pay Devonsa Smith. So I think

880
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: taking a running back when you're gonna have that much already,

881
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: like it's a luxury that I don't, they're going to

882
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: see better use for those picks. Yeah, I think I

883
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: think that's probably gonna be the point with the Eagles.

884
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: Last one here the Washington Commanders. They have eight total picks,

885
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: one in the first round. It is number sixteen. Their

886
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: needs already corner, an offensive lineman, and a tight end.

887
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: And to that point, Daniel Jeremiah has been taking Dalton

888
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,479
Speaker 1: Kincaid to tie it end out of Utah, Bucky Brooks

889
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: hasn't take, and Joey Porter junior the corner from Penn State,

890
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: and Lance Zerline hasn't taking Paris Johnson, junior offensive tackle

891
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,919
Speaker 1: from Ohio State. The interesting part of this whole thing

892
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 1: is I think, you know, they've got some good wide receivers.

893
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: They got Terry McLaurin that I like Johan Dotson. They

894
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: have Curtis Samuel those, They've got some some nice pieces

895
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Their running backs aren't awful. I mean,

896
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson can show show that he can still play

897
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. Brian Robinson looks like he can be something.

898
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 1: But right now they're going into the season looking at

899
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback battle of Jacoby Brissette and Sam Howell. Now

900
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera says he's cool with that. I think the

901
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: rest of us are gonna like, really, dog, really, his

902
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: job's on the line. Like, I don't think I want

903
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: to trust that to Jacoby Brissette or Sam Howe. That's

904
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: just me. Do they have to make a move for

905
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: a quarterback at some point in this draft? Um? I

906
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: guess they don't have to, because they could be telling

907
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: themselves that they're cool with seeing what Sam Howell is is.

908
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: I think the front office might be more cool with

909
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,720
Speaker 1: doing that, taking a long approach, rather than Ron Rivera,

910
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: whose job very well could be on the line if

911
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: the Commanders don't make the playoffs this season. The issue

912
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: is at sixteen, maybe Hooker falls to them and that's it.

913
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: Like I think the other four quarterbacks are all gone,

914
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: so they'd have to either trade up. I continue to say,

915
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: I think the play for them would be to trade

916
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: for Lamar if you're trading up at that point. But

917
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: they are a sneaky team to me. I think that

918
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: if any of the teams were to jump into the

919
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 1: top ten, maybe three, maybe with the there's a lot

920
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 1: of spots in the top ten you could jump because

921
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 1: like five and six could both be up for grabs

922
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: potentially with Seattle and the Lions. So the Commanders have

923
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 1: opportunities to jump back in that top ten and get

924
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback if there's one that they like. I think

925
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: they are a sneaky team to make that. If you're

926
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera, if you're the front office in Washington and

927
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: you know that you know the seat is getting hot, right,

928
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: do you take a guy like Hendon Hooker and sort

929
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,959
Speaker 1: of use that as a way to buy yourself another year?

930
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: You know, he suffers the ACL injury midway through last season.

931
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: There are reports that he could be ready to go

932
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: potentially buy week one of this upcoming year. But you

933
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 1: know that that means he's not gonna get that much

934
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 1: time to maybe work. He's still going to sort of

935
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: be rehabbing. He's not gonna be one hundred percent healthy.

936
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: But if you decide that, hey, we're gonna take a

937
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: chance on this guy. Admittedly, he will I think, be

938
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 1: twenty five by the time the season starts. He's gonna

939
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 1: be an older rookie. Do you take that shot and say, hey, look,

940
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 1: this is our guy. Give us another year to see

941
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: if we can develop him. You know, you put him

942
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: up there as a guy to compete with with Brissette,

943
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: to compete with Howell, and say, hey, you know, we

944
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,680
Speaker 1: think he could give us some really usable seasons, but

945
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: this year is sort of a red shirt year for

946
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: him as we try to get him up to speed

947
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: and get him healthy again. I know it sounds cynical,

948
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: but it sort of solves your quarterback issue at least

949
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: in the short term, and if you're head coach, maybe

950
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: buys you one more year to try to put things together.

951
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: If I'm Ron Rivera, I'm gonna sit there and be like, okay,

952
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: so you want me to use the sixteenth overall pick

953
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: this year on a quarterback? Like he said, who's gonna

954
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,959
Speaker 1: red shirt? Who is one year and six days younger

955
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: than Lamar Jackson? I would be like, no, let's turn

956
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: this sixteenth pick and next year's first into Lamar and

957
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,879
Speaker 1: let's just let's go. Because if you're talking about Hooker, yeah,

958
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: I do think a team's going to take him in

959
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: the first round to get that fifth year of control

960
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: on him and let him red shirt. He's freshman year,

961
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: but he's older, he's in a system that struggles to

962
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: translate to the NFL. Like, at that point, I don't

963
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 1: see any way you could convince yourself that that is

964
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: a better use of the asset rather than trading it

965
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: for a quarterback who is again one year and six

966
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: days younger, older, and already has a bunch of NFL

967
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: experience in an MVP and we know could play at

968
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: this level. Like, I get it. I get the line

969
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,720
Speaker 1: of thinking. But to me, if I was Ron Rivera,

970
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: I would just continue to be like, why would we

971
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: go this route when we could go this much safer

972
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: route and put us in a chance to win a

973
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? I mean, which again brings us back to

974
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: our point that from a couple of weeks ago, why

975
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 1: are people more interested in Lamar Jackson? I don't understand.

976
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense to me A twenty six

977
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: year old former MVP who can still play at a

978
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 1: high level and seems like nobody wants him. I I

979
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: will live hopefully a much longer life. Uh, And I

980
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: don't know that I'll ever be able to figure out

981
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: the answer to that one. Who knows? Uh? There you go.

982
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: That's why I look at the AFC and NFC East.

983
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 1: So we are off and running with our draft coverage.

984
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 1: Side note, we are going to attempt to get some

985
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: some other draft analysts in here. Hopefully we're able to

986
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: maybe maybe talks to land zero line. I don't know,

987
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: maybe we can even try to a move the Sticks

988
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: crossover event or something like that. I don't know. I'm

989
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: putting it out in the atmosphere, right, be a lot

990
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: of fun, see if we can make that happen. I'm

991
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: just putting it out in the atmosphere and seeing if

992
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: maybe these scheduling gods allow something like that to happen. Um.

993
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: And then you know, the draft is coming starting on

994
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: April twenty seventh. We're gonna do a little bit of

995
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: extra content for that as well. Maybe give you a

996
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: Day one recap pod and then we'll recap the whole thing.

997
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: Of course, the week after that, so stay tuned. We

998
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 1: got plenty on tap as we get close to the

999

Speaker 1: NFL's onboarding process when they hire some new employees, so

1000
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: we'll let you know all about that. In the meantime,

1001
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,040
