18
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: some time calling my representative. I have a new thing

19
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: where I don't complain about and I'm not gonna say

20
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: which way I lean but I don't complain on Facebook.

21
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: I now count my rep and now we're we're best friends,

22

00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: We have a great show in front of you here today.

24
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: We we just finished, because we are degenerates. We just

25
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: finished our very first off season mock draft. I put

26
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: it in my calendar as mock draft number one. There's

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of them, exactly, and I'm excited.

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm excited for May I say one thing please, in

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: addition to what I just said, can we and I

30
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: get this a lot on the on the social media

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: people don't necessarily appreciate ten team mocks. Those people don't

32
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: have to try to organize wrangling ten people to be

33
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: in one place at the same time. So I'm sorry

34
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: to people who sit around us. I'm sorry that we

35
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: provide you with free content. Okay, let me say a

36
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: couple of things about this one. I know if people

37
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: complain about it, there are still plenty of leagues that

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: are ten teams too. As the person who has to

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 1: orchestrate all these things and get ten busy people who

40
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: aren't always the prompt us to respond to emails or

41
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: text messages on the same place, on the same time,

42
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: on the same platform, with no technological other hang ups.

43
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: You all come schedules. I understand why people complain about it,

44
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: but you also don't understand the imaginations that go into putting.

45
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: Before you started talking about busy people, we have a

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: person in here just watching the podcast. Well, we're gonna

47
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: do well now we will be doing twelve teams. We'll

48
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: be doing four teams. Were servicing all fans and like

49
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: also like we want qualities of the mocks. We're not

50
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: just gonna grab Joe Schmo's that sit around us as well.

51
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: Elliott was in it shots fire listen. The odds of

52
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: him listening is even worse than the Oh my goodness.

53
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: But anyways, No, we will have a fourteen team mock

54
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: later this summer. We will have multiple twelve teams standard

55
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: and PPR. We'll do ten team PPR. Should we throw

56
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: up a pole who was more likely to listen to

57
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: this podcast? Dave Damna, anyone from a t N or

58
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: Elliott Harrison, I'd put I'd probably put Potus above all

59
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: of those people. That's a that's a good, solid four

60
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: choice pole. Right, President Trump, Elater, Damage oh Man Wow,

61
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: Dylan als us through an eisen if five deep, maybe

62
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: we kick somebody else off. See, I guess we just

63
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: take off the orange dude. Probably all right, Well, should

64
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: we get to the show though, this is gonna this

65
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be our last show now. I just know

66
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna get listening. Get this. This is going to

67
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: be our last show. I do like it. We're gonna

68
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: have a full complete mock draft number one reaction, and

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about some trends we saw himerging, some surprising,

70
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: pick some uh, some interesting you know guys who fell

71
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: in the draft. Will close out your show with daily

72
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: depth wile we start, as always with your top headlines,

73
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: the camera highlights in the world of sporting freaking news,

74
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: freaking continue to follow breakings you kids, wife, We'll start

75
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: in Carolina. Kelvin Benjamin is reportedly fat. That's according to

76
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera. No, actually didn't say that. He said he's

77
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: a quote unquote a little heavy. That was last week, though,

78
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: per the Charlotte Observer. This week, Ron Rivera said KB

79
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: is working off the extra weight, extolling the work ethics, saying, quote,

80
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: he's been what you would hope for or what he

81
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: I can get this, he's been what you would hope

82
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: he would be. What do we make of the news, gentlemen,

83
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: do we like KB in this offense? They've added some

84
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: they've added some extra dimensions to they're talking about opening

85
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Uh. You know, Kelvin Benjamin could

86
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: be a guy that could provide some sneaky value. No. Yeah,

87
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: I think, especially when you consider his current UH draft

88
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: costs we saw on the mock draft. He didn't go

89
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: until until much later, I think because of concerns over

90
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: the way this offense could be changing with the additions

91
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: of Christian McCaffrey and Curtis Samuel, and also the fact

92
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: that Kelvin kind of fell down, fell back a little

93
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: bit to the to earth. He's coming back from a

94
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: baijor knee injury, and you know that could have been

95
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: a cause to why he was a little overweight reporting

96
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: for camp. But I just don't think this is gonna

97
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: be an offense where it's going to be highly concentrated

98
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: through Kelvin Benjamin, like it was his rookie year when

99
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: he had a hundred forty targets or whatever. So he's

100
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: certainly there should be a good offense with Cam Newton

101
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: and all these guys around it, but it's not one

102
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: where you're gonna go out and throw a third round

103
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: pick or something like. I mean that, Kelvin. I just

104
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: feel like the way, looking at the moves that the

105
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: Panthers made this off season, especially with their draft picks,

106
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: they are going away from you know, these two big,

107
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: lumbering guys they had out there and Kelvin Benjamin and

108
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: Devin Funchius, I mean guys who were kind of you know,

109
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: overgrown wide receivers or undersized tight ends whatever you want

110
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: to call him, uh, in favor of you know, more agile,

111
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: more versatile, speed SPEEDI you guys with Christian McCaffrey and

112
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: the Curtis Samuel so um. I don't know. Maybe this

113
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: is partially to try to light a fire underneath the

114
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin or something, but I just feel like this

115
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: offense is going to look like I keep saying that,

116
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna look very different this year than

117
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: what we've seen the last few years. I just I

118
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: don't buy it yet. I really don't buy it. Uh,

119
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, color me skeptical. I just think, what are

120
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: you not buying that he's fat. I buy that. I'm

121
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: not buying the fact that I think. I don't think Carolina,

122
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: We've seen this offense for so many years now. It's

123
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: been the exact same damn thing. Um. They talk about

124
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: adding new wrinkles and I haven't really seen anything of

125
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: any significance. And I know they've got we haven't seen.

126
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree that they've invested draft capital in

127
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: these guys. Curtis samuel In its actually Christian McCaffrey. But again,

128
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: it's all off season talk until I actually see it

129
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: on the field. I kind of I kind of get

130
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: where you're coming from. It's like the dude who goes

131
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: to Dick's Sporting Goods and he buys like orange golf pants,

132
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: a white belt, new clubs, Like I still haven't seen

133
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: you swing the club, Like I still have to have

134
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: some sort of information that a little bit can I

135
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: have a little bit you can you can use that

136
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: you know, you know, James, I disagree. I think that

137
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: will be James. This time last year, Ezekiel l had

138
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: never played in the NFL game. Oh come on, that's

139
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: completely like I'm not making I'm not making the the

140
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott argument that he's got to do it first.

141
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, we've seen so much evidence contrary to

142
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: what we're I mean, it's amazing that we're just people

143
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: in the fantasy community are just so easy to just say, well,

144
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: Ron River is obviously going to change. Ron River's obviously.

145
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: Why what evidence do we have right now that that

146
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: that indicates that we are going to see a significant

147
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: change in the Carolina offense. Ten draft pick in a

148
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: completely different player, to me, is the sign that this

149
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: is different than It's a sign this is different than

150
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: lip service with oh yeah, we're gonna get player X

151
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: more involved this year. Oh wow, he's gonna break out

152
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: this year. He's in the best shape of his life.

153
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: That's very tropes we had. Dan Hans has come on

154
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: a few episodes back in the shop making that kind

155
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: of financial and draft capital commitment. To me, is a

156
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: sign that this this offense is changing. Yeah, I mean,

157
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: I I understand both sides of it. It's just to me,

158
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: we're so fast to say, well, Caroline is obviously gonna change,

159
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: and and I'm just and I'm sitting you're saying, I

160
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: don't I don't know if that's I don't know if

161
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: it's on this with Calvin Benjamin, then is my question,

162
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: are you higher on him than like where he went?

163
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: I think I am. I think I am. If if

164
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: it's the Cam Newton we've come to know and love,

165
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna you know, he's gonna sling it. Uh.

166
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: And we've seen him pound targets to Greg Olson. We've

167
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: seen the pound targets uh to Calvin Benjamin when he

168
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: was rookie as well. So you know, I think he's

169
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: got at least he certainly has positional upside. I don't

170
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: know if he'll get there because of the weight concerns.

171
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: And and again, as you mentioned, if the offense does

172
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: change to feature Christian McCaffrey and Curtis Hamuel Moore, I

173
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: don't know where Kelvin Benjamin fits into that. But I'll

174
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: tell you what if it's the same old, same old,

175
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 1: I like the price that Kelvin Benjamin is going at.

176
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: Right now, all right, we'll move on Tavon. Austin had

177
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: risk surgery about a week ago to repair some ligament

178
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: damage for the Rams. UH. The team is hopeful Austin

179
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: is gonna be available for when the Rams open training

180
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: camp in about a couple of months here shocking no

181
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: one except Marcus Grant. Tavon Austin was horrendous last year,

182
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: collecting a paltry six hundred and sixty eight total yards

183
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: and four combined score. I mean, you know, like look

184
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: in his defense, he got all of the targets last year,

185
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: and so I mean, I mean it was the like

186
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: the football equivalent of shooting the moon, like when you're

187
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: playing hearts and like you know, you either get all

188
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: of the books or like none of them. You know,

189
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: like it's kind of like that. That's what he did

190
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: last year, where he got all of the opportunity and

191
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: none of the production. What do you see for h

192
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: John McVeigh is, I mean, you know, I would imagine

193
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: it's going to be a much more up Temple offense,

194
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: more imaginative. We'll see here too, of of Jared Goff here.

195
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, they didn't really they didn't really get

196
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: a guy in the draft where I'm like, well, obviously

197
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: Tavion Austin is is now dead to me. I mean,

198
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: Cooper Cuff so targets monster. Here's the thing. Yeah, like

199
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: you were you were skeptical about the Panthers offense changing

200
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: right where I look at it as the coaches in

201
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: Carolina are the same, but they have new personnel. They

202
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: have personnel that they've never really had before. I see

203
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: what you're saying. In for the Rams, it's kind of

204
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: the opposite where coaching, but the personnel is pretty much

205
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: the same. So like I just don't see like for

206
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin, I see kind of much of the same.

207
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point we've seen him how many years,

208
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: Like he is who we know he is, that he's

209
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: a forty million dollar gadget player. I will say that

210
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: the offense lost because you were disrespecting Kenny Britt, who

211
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: actually led the team in targets. Marcus my bad. Yes,

212
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: Between Kenny Britt, Lance Kendricks and Brian Quick all leaving,

213
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: there are two d and seventy five targets at least

214
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: just from last year up for grabs. They went out

215
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: and got Bobby Woods, uh from the Bills and free agency,

216
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: who I think could have some sneaky value as well

217
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: as a guy that's going to see a lot of work.

218
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: And then you know Cooper, like Adam said, I mean

219
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 1: somebody of their draft picks of Cooper Cup who was

220
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: at Josh Reynolds and uh the tight end Gerald Everett.

221
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: One of those guys is going to fall into a

222
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: buttload of targets as a rookie. And you know, we

223
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: might need to just wait and read the tea leaves

224
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: in training camp to see which of those guys is

225
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: kind of emerging yet. Well. I mean the reason I

226
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: mentioned Jerald Evert is because Sean McVeigh went out of

227
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: his way to say that he thought this guy could

228
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: be his Jordan read interesting, So that that's something that

229
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: kind of piqued my interest there. Like every it was

230
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: a super raw guy out of South Alabama. If the

231
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: offense big and athletic, like Jordan read, if the offense

232
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: is much better than advertised, there's gonna be certainly some great,

233
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: great fantasy values here to be found in l A.

234
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: Because I don't think anybody's gonna be uh investing any

235
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: kind of significant draft capital in any ram. I mean,

236
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: even Todd Gurley, who's going you know, in the first

237
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: three rounds. You know, I don't know, is he could

238
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: hoping more than anything? Yeah? Exactly could he have a

239
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: bounce back? I don't know. I guess as possible. So

240
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't know we'll see Zeke Elliott told Dallas Cowboys

241
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: dot Com that he thinks he can be even better

242
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: this upcoming season. The reason why he thinks he can

243
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: do more on the second level, I mean, he just

244
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: passed the line of scrimmage. Cliff Avroll was on NFL

245
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: Network saying Zeke could go for two k. I'll seriously

246
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: ask you guys, though, can Zeke go for two k? Sure?

247
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: Why not? All purpose rushing? Two K rushing? He rushed

248
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: for sixteen thirty one last year? Why not? I mean,

249
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't really see why that's. Yeah,

250
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: I understand it's a big number, but you're talking about

251
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: a talented all around running back behind a great offensive line.

252
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: I know they've you know, they've lost some folks and

253
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: things are changed you there a little bit, but it's

254
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: still a very good offensive line. Um, a pretty good

255
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: offense and pretty good offense in general, and one that

256
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: looks you know, and and we're gonna get to our

257
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: mock draft, and I have some thoughts on does Bryant

258
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: okay there? Um? But overall, it's not a passing game

259
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: that you know it's gonna It doesn't rank with some

260
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: of the top passing games in the league. So this

261
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: is a team that could lean on Zeke and yeah, sure,

262
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's it's improbable, but it's not impossible.

263
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: My concern about it, I would just go out and say, no,

264
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: it's because their defense has lost a lot of good starters,

265
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: and that unit last year way overperformed and it kept

266
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: them in great game scripts where Zeke could be fed

267
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: the rockets. But you look back to like, if that

268
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: defense is worse, it resembles the unit that was kind

269
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: of getting carved up by the Packers in the playoffs,

270
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: and that's more of a weekly occurrence. The game scripts

271
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: are gonna flip on Zeke. And two, that's why I

272
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: think two thousand rushing hours out of the question. Two

273
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: thousand total yards. Sure, oh, that's totally double. If he

274
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: starts getting you know, starts getting worked in a little

275
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: bit more in the passing game, and they're playing catchup,

276
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to put the ball in the hand

277
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: to their best players. I think about why Zeke Elliott

278
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: said this as well. You know, we remember watching him

279
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: play the first couple of games, uh, and especially in

280
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: the preseason as well, when he did get into that

281
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: second level, he was much more concerned about protecting the

282
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: rock than looking for extra yard. And he looked a

283
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: little and of course he's a he's a rookie, you

284
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean. But he looked a little bit

285
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: tentative once he got into that second level, kind of

286
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: looking to absorb hits more than just kind of break free.

287
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: And we saw him breaking free, especially in the back

288
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: half of of last year. He averaged well five point

289
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: one yards per carry. He had twelve carries in Week sixteen,

290
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: and he sat in Week seventeen. Despite that, led the

291
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: league in rushing with six thirty one. Certainly, I think

292
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: I agree with Marcus. It's not I don't know if

293
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: it's probable, but it's not impossible to see this guy

294
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: run for two thousand yards. I'd be excited to see it. Uh.

295
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: Saints star center Max Unger, the centerpiece of that Jimmy

296
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: Graham deal a few years back, had surgery to repair

297
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: a broken foot last week. The Saints reportedly expect Unger

298
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: back sometime during the preseason. What does this mean for

299
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, that run game, and just the offense in general. Uh,

300
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's a solid loss because

301
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: a center who has had several years of consistency with

302
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback like Drew Brees makes of a lot of

303
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: a lot of adjustments at the line. I think that

304
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: that could have a negative effect if he can't get

305
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: back in time for the regular season. It certainly would

306
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: be something to watch. Um we saw just last year.

307
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: You know how in the past I thought that sometimes

308
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, depending on the center, it's not as critical

309
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: of a spot and the offensive line. Obviously you want

310
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: to go to the tackles first. But in a situation

311
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: like this, and especially where they just went out and

312
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: signed Adrian Peterson more between the tackles runner it could

313
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: have it could have a bigger impact. Not anything to

314
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: drop anybody seriously down the board, though, but it's something

315
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna need to watch his health coming back, because

316
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: if they have to throw in I don't know who

317
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: their backup center is off the top of my head,

318
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: but if they have to throw in Joe Schmo starting

319
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: uh starting off might be worrisome. I've the worry that

320
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: these Saints are going to introduce us to the horrid

321
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: concept of a one down back. So Adrian Peterson gets

322
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: first and comes in on the throw the passing down. Yeah,

323
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: we're just gonna have a series of one down backs

324
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. There was that report that they could

325
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: be trading mark Ingram Yeah. Yeah. And one last thing,

326
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: Dylan it's good we got him back here pointed this

327
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: out that the Vikings are reportedly signing Michael Floord. Apparently

328
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, it's not done, it's close to. That

329
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: was the one thing too. On last week's show, we

330
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of talked about the Saints offensive line and I

331
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: wasn't very respectful to them because I I spent a

332
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: lot of I usually look at like Pro Football Focus.

333
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: But as Chris Wesling pointed out, and somebody on Twitter

334
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: alerted me to this too, um no, but the Saints,

335
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: according to the Football Outsiders okay, actually had the most

336
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: efficient offensive line in terms of run blocking. Yes, which

337
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: I said, that's great for mark Ingram or lover is

338
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: actually whoever act for them, because that's the one thing

339
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: about Adrian Again, the thing with Adrian Peterson is that

340
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: like he's thirty two years old. There's not like a

341
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: lot of great evidence of these guys being in there

342
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: a thirty two year old coming, especially when you have

343
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: that much. I think Ticky Barber might be one guy

344
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: who was, well, what about the week we said that

345
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: Matt Hoggs unit was one of the best in NFL history.

346
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: So the Saints and it would be a big blow

347
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: if if Max Hunger is not able to play or

348
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: not play well or anything, or if he struggles some

349
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: lingering issues moving and God fixing that center positions. I

350
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: I would just take the most recent example I would

351
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: say is look at the Chargers where they've never got falcons, yeah,

352
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: you know, and the Charges never replaced Nick Hardwick, you know,

353
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: and it and it took Melvin Melvin Gordon some time

354
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: to to finally get going, and the kind of running

355
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: backs that they had to use. So if the Saints

356
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: are in a simil their position where their dominant run

357
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: blocking is dinged up a little bit, then you've got

358
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: to go to the receiver that can catch the football

359
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, which to me makes the idea

360
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: that they're going to be getting rid of mark Ingram

361
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: a little fishy to me, because he's great out of

362
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: the backfield. He's a good receiver out of the backfield.

363
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: So that kind of stuff just kind of doesn't jive

364
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: with me, and I think that if Anger is hurt

365
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: and anybody who is banking on this Adrian Peterson finding

366
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: the fountain of youth business needs to uh pepper temper

367
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 1: of their expectations a little bit. All right, let's talk

368
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: about the mock draft number one. We just did this

369
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: on Monday morning, right and early it am Uh, you

370
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: can find it. You can find the I think you

371
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: can find the the reaction right NFL dot com slash

372
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: galhar Uh. Yeah. That's got all of the results and

373
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: I provide a little bit of analysis in between each

374
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: of the rounds there and then it also has links

375
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: to Fabiano's picked by Strategy and thinking. And then Cynthia

376
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: did a little piece too where she kind of pulled

377
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: out some nuggets and things that were interesting to her

378
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: from the overall mock draft, both her picks and otherwise.

379
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: So mock drafted analysis. Just go to Gail Harst page

380
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash Gail hard You could also find

381
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: our top one rankings. Michael Fabionda did a top two

382
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: hundred ranking, which is why you can find it all

383
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: at NFL dot com slash top two hundred. So there

384
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: you go. Uh, we'll get into the first round. Here,

385
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: Mike Evans goes before Odell Beckham Junior. Is a great

386
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: place to start, because Rank said to me before started,

387
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: he's like, can I just put Mike Evans on the

388
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: board right now? He's like, He's like, nobody else is

389
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: going to pick him ahead of me. And I looked

390
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: at the board and I was like, yeah, you're probably right, Rank.

391
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: Rank was picking sixth overall and then Marcus. Yeah. And

392
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: no offense to Marcus, but this isn't kind of the savvy,

393
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: heavy pick that I would expect out of you. That's

394
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: where kind But I don't mean I don't mean that

395
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: in a bad one. Thank you. I don't mean that

396
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: a bad No, it's it's obvious. I didn't realize to

397
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: my my your grin, I didn't realize it was Marcus

398
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: directly in front of me because last year Marcus had

399
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: Mike Evans in our NFL fantasy and it's part of

400
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: the reason why his team was a juggernaut, So it

401
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: shouldn't have completely surprised me. It was one of those

402
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: things where I just looked at my draft position, didn't

403
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: see who was who was drafting ahead of me, and

404
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: then some people because they brought it up on obviously

405
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: on the social media about like why why do people

406
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: think he's the number one, like the number one receiver.

407
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I don't know, because he finished as

408
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: the wide receiver one. That's where I'm getting this crazy notion.

409
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 1: What a crazy thought that he meant he might and

410
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: and really you know, and you look at the top four,

411
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: but I would definitely have taken him above Antonio Brown

412
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: maybe on ye hold up holed up. So let's go back.

413
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: First of all, let's h Adam, let's get your thoughts

414
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: on why Mike Evans before Antonio Brown, because I saw

415
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: your rankings as well, and that did surprise me because

416
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: he was better than him last year. I like it.

417
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: I like that their offense is evolving, they're getting better.

418
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston is on the incline. And you think about

419
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,959
Speaker 1: how well Mike Evans played last season. He did that

420
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: without a guy who was there stretching the defense. Now

421
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: they've got Jean Jackson there. They added O. J. Howard,

422
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: who I don't think it's going to come in and

423
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: particularly have great fantasy stats right off the top, but

424
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: he helps you off. But he's on the he's on

425
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: the Field and you have to account for him. So

426
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: and I think that just But why not Antonio Brown

427
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: because he's been throughout his career with the big ben.

428
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: You're talking about somebody who's just as good, but you

429
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: can't listen. I would love to have both of them.

430
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: If I'm in a fantasy league, I will certainly petition everybody.

431
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: I want Mike Evans and in addition, I would also

432
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: like ev Antonio Brown. Unfortunately, you have to pick the

433
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: person that you think it's gonna be the best. And

434
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: I and I feel like with a full season from

435
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell, possibly Martevis Bryant coming back into the mix,

436
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: that perhaps Tonio Brown will not hit the touchdown numbers

437
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: that Mike Evans is gonna have an he had thirteen.

438
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken last year, I think you can

439
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: get in the fifteen. I think seventeen is an actual possibility.

440
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: All right, So let's get to Marcus Grant now Mike

441
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: Evans before oh b J. And I think that will

442
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: also surprise some folks. And you took him. I was

443
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: gonna say, let's just run through the first several ships

444
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: to give people context. Here we keep talking about what's

445
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: happening in the middle of the round, but it should

446
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: know so okay, should be no surprise, But franchise kicked

447
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: things off. David Johnson, Cynthia took Levian bell I took

448
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott, Elliott took Antonio Brown UH fourth overall, Marcus

449
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: took Mike Evans fifth, and then rank O B J sixth,

450
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: So Marcus grant Mike Evans before Oh b J and

451
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, which again, I think we'll surprise some folks

452
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: out there. Why why Mike Evans, I mean because he

453
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: was the number one receiver in UH Fantasy, thank you.

454
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 1: I mean, I do like what the Bucks offense is

455
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: going to be this year. They have so many weapons,

456
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: and I know people will worry that there are a

457
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: lot of mouths to feed um, but I do think

458
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: that this also opens things up for Evans down the field.

459
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: Now you can't just focus solely on him because you've

460
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: got to worry about DeShawn Jackson. On the other side,

461
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: You've gotta worry a little bit about O. J. Howard

462
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: if he turns out to be the guy we think

463
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: he can be. They've got guys out of the backfield

464
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: who can make play So there are a whole lot

465
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: more weapons there, and I think that's gonna bode well

466
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: for Evans. Maybe he doesn't get force fed quite as

467
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: many targets, but I also think that means he sees

468
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: more quality targets with maybe more one on one coverage.

469
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: And I know that you know, and I know the

470
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon. Uh, you know, double coverage is sort of

471
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: a myth thing. But I do think with so many

472
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: other weapons out there as a defense, you just can't

473
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: take away Mike Evans, You've got to worry about other

474
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: guys too. Yes, all right, so there you go. I

475
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: took a j Green eighth. Harmon took DeMarco Murray, the

476
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver guy, took a running back at nine overall.

477
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: That was after a round of five wide five wide

478
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: receivers in the first It was indeed, it was indeed,

479
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy. Jordy Nelson went ten eleven. Okay, so um,

480
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: you take a look at the second round now, Todd

481
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: Gurley was the running back nine taken in the second round,

482
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: seventeen overall. Thoughts, they're on Todd Gurley still being able

483
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: to sneak into the second round despite having you know,

484
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: what most people would consider a pretty poor And we'll

485
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: start with you, Adam right, I'm sorry, can you repeat

486
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: the question? Todd Gurley goes there in the second out

487
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: an urgent email from somebody, which is amazing. The one

488
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: thing about Todd Gurley if if you're like me, I

489
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 1: like to go wide receiver heavy from the very beginning,

490
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: and Todd Gurley is one of those guys that you

491
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: look at and just expect him to fall in draft.

492
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: I think anybody who drafted him last year will never

493
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: want to have anything to do with him. And I

494
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: think people just look at that situation in Los Angeles

495
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: and be like, I don't want any part of it,

496
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: and they will let him tumble down to draft. Now,

497
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: Elliott took him in the seconds, but it just takes

498
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: one person to buy it. Like the NFL draft, it

499
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: just takes one person to buy in. Like I think

500
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: they'll rebound and so for a second round price, I'm

501
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: not into that. I also feel like he's gonna oh

502
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: to the guy, to the manager who drafts more conservatively, right,

503
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: if you're drafting for upside or if you want to

504
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: swing for home runs or whatever, I just don't see

505
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley ending up on your roster unless he somehow

506
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: falls into like you know, late third early fourth value. Right. Well,

507
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: here's the thing that's baffling to me as well, because

508
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: Alex took J A G I with the next pick,

509
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: and I mean to me those two Oh geez, I

510
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to talk about J J I because I

511
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: left him off my top one. Because I I'll give

512
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: on accident, I'll give it to the podcast listeners like yeah,

513
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: because you know what, my friends steal all my picks

514
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: like they read and I'm sorry, I don't have to

515
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: give you everything. A lot of people notice that, like everything,

516
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 1: where's J. G. I. I'm like, you know what, I'll

517
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: give you my phone number. You can call me. I'll

518
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: let you know where he is, where he is, you know,

519
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: I'll give him Actually, if I had, if I had

520
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: a phone on my desk at work, I would literally

521
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: do that, because I think that that would be I

522
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: should get a desk phone, because I will literally give

523
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: it out and be like, yeah, just call me at work,

524
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: Just call me on my desk. Representative, call your call

525
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: your representative, and I'll like, you don't you don't you

526
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: don't have a phone on your desk. No, like, do

527
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: you guys have do you guys have land lines to

528
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: like it's two thousand seventeen. I don't I have slack.

529
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: I have my own personal phone. I've got a computer.

530
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: There's plenty of ways to reach me. I don't need

531
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: a desk butt, I have hold on. I didn't ask

532
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: for a phone. Pause to dive into this real quickly.

533
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: Did you remove your own phone out of like millennial

534
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: cord cutting thing at the office, like I don't need this?

535
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: Exactly what happened? You just took it out. I said,

536
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: I don't need this this It's taking up space on

537
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: my desk, and I've got photos of my daughter and

538
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: stuff like that that would I would rather have on

539
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: my desk. Okay, this is a I've got a Darth

540
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: Maul lunch, but like there's a lot, there's limited space

541
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: on the And by the way, speaking of Darth Maul,

542
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: I don't I don't care that people go out and

543
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: they want to do their thing on May of the fourth,

544
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: be with you, and I love the people on the

545
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: show that we're doing, like their NFL two Star Wars comparisons.

546
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: But to pretend that Darth Maul died in episode one.

547
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: Is completely ignorant. Okay, he lives on he got chopped

548
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: at the surf into an endless pit. No, he did,

549
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,719
Speaker 1: and he falls on to another planet and he rebuilds himself.

550
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: Did you not you act like you've never seen the

551
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: Clone Wars? Oh my god. Okay, we get conversation, Dar,

552
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: what that's on? You up a couple of sicks. I

553
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: thought it was great dive into this right now because

554
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: you know it's not gonna so I'm wanna go back

555
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: up a couple of bicks in the in the second

556
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: round rank taking Des Bryant. Yeah, oh wait, can I

557
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: explain that please? We were using a list in the

558
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: middle of a second it is not mine. Now, I

559
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: would have taken DeAndre high. I feel like that's high

560
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: if this was like a real like I wasn't. I

561
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: was like, oh jeez, I missed it because like the

562
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: person whose list we were using was not very high

563
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: on DeAndre Hopkins. Because on my personal list he would

564
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: have been up there. He would have been right after A.

565
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: J Green and my receiver rankings because I would have

566
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: had him ahead of Jordy and ahead of Mike Mike Thomas.

567
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 1: How do you present, Okay, he's gonna rebound like he

568
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: was bad last year because brock Oswiler is terrible compared

569
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: to other NFL quarterbacks. So he's gonna have a If

570
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: you're looking for somebody to bounce back, if you're talking

571
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: about like, oh, I hope Todd Gurley bounces back, I

572
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: have more confidence in DeAndre Hopkins bouncing back. I have

573
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: more confidence in Alan Robinson bouncing back. All right, But

574
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, tell me why you're not very particularly high

575
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: on des Bryants this year. Um, I just want to.

576
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about that offense, and you know,

577
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: at least the passing game being good not great. Uh,

578
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: the schedule certainly is not in favor, and I know that.

579
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: You know, I know, trying to calculate strength of schedules

580
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: sometime times can be a fool's errand especially at this

581
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: point in the year. But at least right now on paper,

582
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: the schedule doesn't work well. There isn't a solid number

583
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 1: two to take a lot of that pressure off of him.

584
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: Jason Witten is like seventy three years old. Um, you know,

585
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: there's just there's a lot I think that's kind of

586
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: going against deaz and considering the you know, the last

587
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: couple of years he's had injury issues. Uh, he hasn't

588
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: really had a lot of great numbers. I mean, he

589
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: had those three years bunched up from twenty twelve where

590
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: he was fantastic yards and fifteen touchdown basically every year,

591
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you're good, You're good for double

592
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: digit touchdowns, twelve to thirteen hundred yards. It's been a

593
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: couple of years since we've seen that. Dez Bryant and

594
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: and you wonder whether or not and this isn't about desisibility,

595
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: but it's just the way the offense works there now

596
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: in Dallas. I have a hard time thinking of him

597
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver. One. He's kind of he's kind

598
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: of a low fringe wide receiver. One wide receiver. Two.

599
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: Would you take time, t Y Hilton or Dez Bryant?

600
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: T Y. I don't disagree with that. I don't disagree

601
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: with that. All right, let's go to the third round here,

602
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nette goes there with the first pick in

603
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: the third round. You know, I think it's an important

604
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: and I say this every year, but if you're on

605
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: the turn, go get your guy right. So I think

606
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: franchise did that a couple of times. Yeah, So you know,

607
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: when you're on the turn, you kind of have to,

608
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, escue rankings and just go get your guy so.

609
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: And even if it's you know, five or six or

610
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: seven picks before you'd like to make it, you know,

611
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: if he's there and you can go get him, go

612
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: get him so. And I think that's exactly what franchise

613
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: did there, uh in round number three. But Brandon Cooks

614
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: at twenty six, Why what am I the guy being

615
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: picked on all of a sudden? Actually that I was

616
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: gonna ask you a lot of I think there's a

617
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: look Brandon Cooks again, even though he's on a new team,

618
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: is still gonna be a highly polarizing uh fantasy. As said,

619
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: I think some people might see him there as a

620
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver in a great offense with Tom Brady.

621
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: Other people are gonna say, look they are they've got

622
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: a lot amounts defeat and you know, he might be

623
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: the number one quote unquote wide receiver, but it's so

624
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: long as Gronk is there. You know, Brandon Cooks ceiling

625
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: might be a bit limited. But I want to get

626
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: your take. Adam Rank on why you like Brandon Cooks

627
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: this year, Well, the one. I mean, you also have

628
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: to look at where he's going in that draft as well.

629
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide was the pick immediately after him, So I

630
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: kind of those are the two guys I was really

631
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: looking at um, But you look at the receivers who

632
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: go after him, al Shan Jeffrey, like he has an

633
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: injury history, He's joining a new team. Doug Baldwin has

634
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: not been a consistent force each and every week, Keenan

635
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: Allen has injury concerns, Trail Prior all right, maybe the

636
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: Marrius Thomas, Michael Crabtree, Samuel Okay. So there's not like

637
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: it's not like I'm passing him over, passing over like

638
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: a lot of huge names. And I do think that

639
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots were so enthralled with him, they put such

640
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: a need on him that they're going to go out

641
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: and get him. And I think that the last time

642
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: that we really saw Tom Brady surrounded by this much talent.

643
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: You gotta go all the way back to the two

644
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,959
Speaker 1: thousand seven season when he said those records, and I

645
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: really believe the Patriots are gonna be in one of

646
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: those situations again where they're really going to try to

647
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: put it on people. There's gonna be a lot of

648
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: opportunity to go out there and put up a lot

649
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: of points. Bill Belichick is not afraid to run up

650
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: the score and and to look at it about like

651
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski, who's missed a lot of time over the

652
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: course of his career, and some of the other guys.

653
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really find that as a concern.

654
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: I think that he's gonna surpass Julian Edelman. I think

655
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman is one who just they're gonna forget about him.

656
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the way the Patriots operate. It's like, hey,

657
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: thank you so much for everything you've done. We're done

658
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: with you now, and they move on. There was that

659
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: great video of uh, I forget what it was from

660
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: NFL Films caught it. I think where years ago when

661
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: Edelman was a seventh round rookie, he was returning a

662
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: punt in the preseason and Welker was talking to Belichick. Oh, man,

663
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: that number eleven's fast whatever number was the time. It

664
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: was Belicks, Yeah, he's gonna take your job. Holy. It

665
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: was basically like what he said to him, like he's

666
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: going to take your job and you he don't give else.

667
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: What I will say about this though, is like there

668
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: were a couple of wide receivers would have taken before

669
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks there. Like you said, Doug Baldwin hasn't been

670
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: a picture of consistency, neither his Brandon Cooks. He's been

671
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: a very spotty up and down guy. But Doug Baldon's

672
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: in consistency's still had him finishes like the wide receiver eight,

673
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver eleven the last couple of years. Keenan Allen,

674
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: if fully healthy, is still the top target in that offense.

675
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: And he was a guy that was looking set to

676
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: just set the statutes on fire before his injury last year. Um,

677
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: I still like Sammy Watkins here or you know, even

678
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree before for Cooks, just because that offense is

679
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: Landry filled this much. I mean, I mean we have

680
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: mr He's gonna get fourteen fourteen, But like, what's the

681
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: what's this, what's the ceiling for Landry? Like I think

682
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: that's why he falls. Like you know, he's gonna be

683
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: especially in PPR, is going to have a safe weekly output.

684
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna get his targets, but he's not getting into

685
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: the end zone a lot. He doesn't stretch the field

686
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: a ton, and that offense still did just resigned Kenny Stills.

687
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 1: Davante Parker's still air. I think I think there's enough

688
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: concerns about how high his ceiling goes, which is why

689
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: he fell to what the first pick of the fifth round,

690
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: we'll go to the last pick in the fifth round,

691
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: or I guess the second last pick in the fifth round,

692
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon selects a Mere Abdullah. Um. I don't know

693
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: where the hell to place a Mere Abdullah. We we've

694
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: got an injury history in his young career, We've got

695
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: fumbling issues in his young career, and yet he could

696
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: still be the you know RB one there for Detroit.

697
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 1: I just I don't know where to put this guy.

698
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: Uh and Matt Harmon taking him at the end of

699
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: the fifth round, I don't know if that's good value,

700
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: bad value, or what to make of it? What? What

701
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: do you guys say? I like that spot. I think

702
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: that's probably about the draft price you're gonna have to

703
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 1: pay for Mere Abdullah. I think right now we're chasing

704
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,959
Speaker 1: the upside and what we believe he can be because

705
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: we've seen glimpses of it. Do you do that as

706
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: early as round five? I mean, considering if he's going

707
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: to be the lead back in a high powered offense

708
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: that's going to have lots of opportunities to score points,

709
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: the heck yeah, uh Like I'd rather take him than

710
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 1: you know, Paul Perkins, who he took two rounds later,

711
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: or some of these other guys that are mired in

712
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: bigger committees. So I just, you know, I just wonder

713
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: how much the Lions believe and trust in a mirab Dulla.

714
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: That has always kind of been the issue for me

715
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: that I don't think to your point, I don't think

716
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: he's got a clear role in Detroit's offense. I don't

717
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: think they have any clear defined running back roles at

718
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: all in Detroit. I mean it's not just Abdullah, he's

719
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: the guy that we're talking about here, But I just

720
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: feel like over the last few years, we've seen any

721
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: number of guys in any number of spots. I mean,

722
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, THEO Riddick's been there, We've seen what Dayne

723
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: Washington come through, and we've seen so many guys get

724
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: opportunities there with no real rhyme or reason. Uh, you know,

725
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: Zack Zenter is still hanging out on the roster here too,

726
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: So I just, I just, I mean, he and Dwayne

727
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: Washington didn't really get chances until the other guys got here,

728
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: got hurt. Theo got nicked up as well, and proved

729
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: he couldn't run between the tackles. It just seems like

730
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: from what they've said, what they what they invested him

731
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: as the draft capital, and what we've seen at times

732
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: on the field, they're gonna want to give him. I mean,

733
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: this was the second round pick a couple of years ago.

734
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: They're gonna want to give him every chance to be

735
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: that dynamic piece. And while he'll certainly lose some catches

736
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 1: to Theoretic, who's almost like more of a late receiver

737
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: at this but they're also kind of the same guy. Yeah,

738
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: but a mir is much more capable between the tackles

739
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: runner and he's proven that and also next level he's gone, dude,

740
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like Theoretick is good, especially

741
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, but once he's he doesn't have

742
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: that breakaway speed that that Ameer Abdulla has. By the way,

743
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of breaking news here, the Patriots have

744
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: extended a minimal offer to look Garrett Blunt. I'm not

745
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: sure if he's expected to sign or not. Hey, Patriots,

746
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: stop talking to players. I mean, is ridiculously had a

747
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: visit with Kristen Michael earlier. I think in the week

748
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. I believe it was stop talking to people, like,

749
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: you only have fifty three roster spots, only five of

750
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: them are going to running backs. Uh. They They have

751
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: extended a reportedly a one point one million dollar offer

752
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: to la Garrett Blunt, and considering there, I haven't heard

753
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 1: of any other teams interested in Lagarty's circling the Lions

754
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: reportedly as well. And it's a good fit Giants. And

755
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 1: I don't want him to go to the Lions. I

756
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: mean it's a good fit. Football wise, I'd rather I'd

757
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 1: rather have him give the chance to Amir No kidding,

758
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: I'd rather have him go to I just from a

759
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: pure football like real football standpoint. I understand that too, Yeah,

760
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: But fantasy wise, I want fantasy results here. It's so

761
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: funny because I don't want to be I don't want

762
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: this because I've been on a Mira abdula like every

763
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: year of his career. It's like I still feel like

764
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: I have he was one of your pot committed Now

765
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't want his breakout to come when he's not

766
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: on my team, alright, because I would be the worst

767
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: feeling in the world, because like we have like a

768
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: we have like a keeper baseball league, but it's a

769
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: pretty extensive and it's nearly a dynasty league. And I

770
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: had like Xander Bogart's one year when he was like

771
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: a prospect and they had to get rid of him,

772
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: like that kind of stuff. Lingers with you, Okay, all right,

773
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: let's go to the sixth round. Deshan Jackson, Martavis Bryant

774
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: go within a couple of picks of each other. I

775
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: feel like that's gonna be a good debate that we're

776
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: going to see throughout the fantasy off season as well.

777
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: Who would you guys rather have Deshan Jackson or Martavis Bryant. Well,

778
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: I mean you can ask me, because I was the

779
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: one that took to Sean Jackson. I was staring at

780
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: him and Martevis Bryant, and there I took to Sean

781
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: Jackson with the eighth pick in the sixth round, hoping

782
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: perchance that Martavis would come back around to me on

783
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: the turn forgetting. Of course, that sitting on that turn

784
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: was Noted Steelers Homer Matt Franciscovitch, who quickly scooped up

785
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: Martavis Bryant. I think they're both very close right now.

786
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: I just I've been high on the Deshan Jackson to

787
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay thing. Is one of my dream fits. It happened.

788
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about the Bucks offense and what

789
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: it could mean, and I think it's just exciting the

790
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: prospect of de Sean Jackson being a dynamic number two

791
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: that's probably gonna see plenty of targets and have a

792
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: ton of upside. I wouldn't fault anybody for going the

793
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: other way, but that whole sixth round was loaded and

794
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver harmon started off with Tyreek Hill. You took

795
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: Dante moncree FABS took Davante Adams like, and then we

796
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: got DeShawn Jackson, Golden taint, Martavis Bryant. That's a lot

797
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: of good depth there. What's up? Kelsey Pick was right

798
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: there saying I was talking about wide receivers, I don't

799
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: care talking about pass catchers. I think I'm like insanely

800
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: high on DeShawn Jackson, cause I'm looking at this and

801
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: I would have taken him before a number of the

802
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: receivers that win ahead of them. Okay, I would. I

803
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 1: would take him over. I'm just gonna looking. I'd take

804
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: him over Davante Adams. Uh yeah, see, I'm like, hang on,

805
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: where where is he here? Okay? So it's around six

806
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: right the other way. So I mean I'm looking at

807
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: you know, uh, Immanuel Sanders fits Jarvis Landry, it's a

808
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: real prior. I don't know about prior. I think i'd

809
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: take him ahead of prior. I'm not gonna lie. I

810
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: don't take him over. Sammy Watkins. I want no part

811
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: of Sammy. I want no Let's let's talk about both

812
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: those guys real quick. Why do you guys want no

813
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: part of Sammy Watkins is here? All those lower body injuries,

814
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: forget about it. I want no piece of that. They

815
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: have denied his fifth year option contract year. Talented guy,

816
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: still a good offensive round even all the ones in

817
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: the world. Didn't help your feet? Yeah, you know, I

818
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: think that's the problem. What I mean, if it was

819
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: a conditioning issue, if it was a motivation issue, you know,

820
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: i'd be with you. I love the contract of your thing.

821
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: But he's had it's the health. He's had one decent

822
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: year one that's it. And like so, I'm I just

823
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,959
Speaker 1: I'm not sold that that he is that guy that

824
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: that they want him to be. I'm just I'm too scared.

825
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: I can't do it. It kind of goes hand in

826
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: hand with what Cynthia Freeland did in round seven, which

827
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: is when she took za Jones, and I think a

828
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: lot of us were like, WHOA, that is awfully early

829
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: for z Jones, But in her ride up, she said

830
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: she really likes the upside of za Jones, mostly because

831
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: of the health concerns surrounding Sammy Watkins. I don't know,

832
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 1: what do you got? What did you guys think about

833
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,959
Speaker 1: that pick in the seventh round? Uh? That wasn't touch early.

834
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: I felt it was a couple of rounds early too.

835
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: I understand the reasoning, and I'm sure her model might

836
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 1: have been pushing her towards that as well. I wasn't

837
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: like over the moon about za Jones is like talent,

838
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: I like, I like him. I think he's a good

839
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: fit there as the number two. I wouldn't would be

840
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: over the moon about him taking over for Sammy Walks

841
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't mean like that, but I I mean that makes

842
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: like more of a like a high level, you know,

843
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: underneath guy. You know what I'm saying. I guess I

844
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: just think that Sammy Watkins, I mean, this is a

845
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: guy that, amidst his injuries and years past, we were

846
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: still having to draft in like the second round. And

847
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: the fact that I got him at the end of

848
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: the fourth here probably could have excladed into the fifth

849
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: and got him. You know, that's a good point. That's

850
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: that's not bad value for a guy who very easily

851
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: could get throw up double digit touchdowns. I mean that's

852
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: if and it's a tremendous if stays healthy. I mean,

853
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: but if he doesn't do that, where does the production

854
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 1: go to? Lashawn McCoy. Yeah, I mean I really see.

855
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: That's my That's also my feor with Za Jones is

856
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: that he's going to be very reliant on Sammy watching

857
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 1: being there and being productive because if it's a situation

858
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: like last year. Remember at points last year, uh, Robert

859
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: Woods had to double as their number one guy because

860
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: Watkins wasn't available. Um, you know, I just don't see

861
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: Za Jones stepping in here and having and being able

862
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: to successfully carry that burden if it comes to that.

863
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: I am not scared to say and not ashamed to admit.

864
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: I have no idea what happens if Sammy Watkins goes

865
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: down again. Because it's a brand new coaching staff. Sean

866
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: McDermott is there now. Uh, we don't know. I mean,

867
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: you know, they have a quarterback situation there that I

868
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,919
Speaker 1: guess they they they like or they signed ty Rod.

869
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,720
Speaker 1: It seems clearly they don't like ty Rod. Who knows.

870
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what kind of offense

871
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: they're gonna employ. I don't know how featured. I don't

872
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: know how much of a featured role Sammy Watkins is

873
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: gonna have. I don't know. There's just a lot of

874
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: question marks they're surrounding the health, the coaching staff. There's

875
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: a lot of question marks, uh, surrounding Buffalo right now.

876
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: But I'm excited to see what the preseason looks like.

877
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, because Buffalo certainly one of those

878
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: teams I'm gonna be keeping a very very close eye.

879
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: Od Can I ask you guys, what trends did you

880
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 1: guys see emerge? One clear trend that I saw was

881
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: that top flight wide receivers seemed to fall quite a

882
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: bit in this draft. Willie Sneed, Randall Cob, John Brown

883
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: they went't round ten. Well, that's being a little loose

884
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: with the term top flight, but I think it more

885
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: speaks to the depth of the position that that guys

886
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: like that really Sneed, as we all said in the

887
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: chat of the draft two, should have gone probably at

888
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 1: least three rounds earlier. Randall Cobb, I mean he's had

889
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,240
Speaker 1: recent injury concerns. Davante Adams stepped up. I think there's

890
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, the concern is warranted as to what his

891
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: role in the Packers offensive. Martelli Spennett there and all

892
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: three of those guys plus Martelli Spennett are healthy. And

893
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 1: then John Brown, I mean him, he too is coming

894
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: off the sickle cell trait, which allegedly he's he's good

895
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: to go from now. But where how are the targets

896
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: going to be distributed in that offense? With David Johnson

897
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: seeing a hundred and twenty last year fit seeing a lot,

898
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: they drafted Chad Williams out of Grambling in the third round.

899
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: You know, I'm assuming if Brown would come back and

900
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: it's healthy, he would see quite a few, but there's

901
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 1: just a big question marks around that, all right, any

902
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: other trends you saw, Alex Kilher, I think we're getting

903
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: we're falling into the trap at least this point of

904
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: drafting some rookies very early. That's getting a little ahead

905
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: of ourselves. That's the point Fingers that you guys, but

906
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 1: you know, Jamal Williams and Kareem Hunt and then Mike

907
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: Williams all went together in the eighth round. It just

908
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: feels Jamal Williams, we don't even know if he's going

909
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: to beat out Time Montgomery, much less the other rookies.

910
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt has still got to get over Spencer where

911
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: which was potentially smart on Marcus point in this draft

912
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: took Spencer were in the third then Kareem Hunt. I

913
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: just I just think right now, it's kind of a

914
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: case where a lot of these guys, yes, it's exciting,

915
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: and their unknowns and stuff like that. A little bit

916
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 1: of recency biased too, right, because the draft just happy.

917
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, that's what I'm saying. But there are a

918
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: lot of good veterans in really good spots that you

919
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: can get values later. Like I ended up taking to

920
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 1: two Ravens in round nine and ten. Mike Wallace and

921
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,959
Speaker 1: Terrence West like that. They did nothing aside from getting

922
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: Danny Wood had this offseason to address that offense. It's

923
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: good point. Mike Wallace is going to be the number

924
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: one receiver there because Brashot Pairman is still a question mark.

925
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 1: Terrence West is the number one and especially goal line

926
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: back for at least four weeks, if not more. And

927
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, if he keeps Kenneth Dixon at Bay. I

928
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: just think and there's a there's a lot of good

929
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: value with veterans when you look around the board in

930
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: these later rounds. All right, how about for you, Adam

931
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: rank any trends you saw emerge. Yeah, the rookies were

932
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,280
Speaker 1: the one things that that stood out to me. Christian

933
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: McCaffrey goes in the fourth round, Leonard Ford and the third,

934
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon and the fourth. I like a lot of

935
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 1: people will be looking at last year's success and be like, oh, yeah,

936
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: the running backs are are They're good again? I'm gonna

937
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: draft all these rookies. I don't know that's necessary, although

938
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: I do like those three guys. Um arguing against herself,

939
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: I am arguing against you. Took Christian McCaffrey too, because

940
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: he's the exception, He's the one, He's the one of

941
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: the three who's would be really good. I like it

942
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: you took Jamal Williams in round day. I'd love to

943
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 1: hear a cross talk between Adam Rank and uh Alex

944
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 1: Gelhart regarding Jamal Williams. Look, a lot of folks actually, wait,

945
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: hold the phone. Frank drafted four rookie running backs. He

946
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: took Christian McCaffrey, Jamal Williams, Jeremy McNichols, and Alvin Kamara.

947
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: What I doing it out? I like it because it

948
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: is it is a recency bias. Can you talk to

949
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: me about Jamal Williams oo a little bit? Uh? And again,

950
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: I think when drafts come around in you know, late July,

951
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: early August, I think Jamal Williams will fall. But a

952
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: lot of folks don't know anything about this kid, Jamal Williams.

953
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: Can you guys expound a little bit on his game?

954
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: You drafted him. I hope he sucks. I just want

955
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: to jink some wait wait, wait, wait, I really do

956
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: did not take him in the fifth round though, That's

957
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: I ruined. I ruined mark Ingram instead because Jamala in

958
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: the fifth is a little bit too much. But you know,

959
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: he's he's a bruising running back coming out of b

960
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: y u Um. Got a chance to see him. He

961
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: really strikes me as the kind of running back that

962
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: they really need in Green Bay. Now. They don't have

963
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: John Coon sitting there annoyingly taking touchdowns. Eddie Lacy obviously

964
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: is playing for the Seahawks right now. It's hard to

965
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: imagine Tie Montgomery being able to carry the ball two

966
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty times. I think he's gonna be a great,

967
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 1: a great I don't want to say gadget type player,

968
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: because he's a little bit more skilled than that. But

969
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna fit into a role where he's gonna be

970
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,439
Speaker 1: able to move all over the field. And I think

971
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: last year he averaged what five point seven yards per carry,

972
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: that's what That's what Jamal Williams averaged in college, but

973
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: he ran the ball like three hundred times, So he's

974
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: a guy who can do a lot of the dirty work.

975
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,760
Speaker 1: I think that for the Packers to be successful going forward,

976
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: if they want to start moving on in the playoffs,

977
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: they've got to have a little bit more of an

978
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: established running game that can sometimes slow the games down.

979
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: Do give them another option when they get near the

980
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: red zone instead of having to always rely on Aaron

981
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: Rodgers to carry them, just to have a running back

982
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 1: there who can go in there and punch it into

983
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,760
Speaker 1: the end zone. And I think Jamal Williams can certainly

984
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: do that. He reminds me a lot of Freddie Morris

985
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: when he came in where it's like he there's nothing

986
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: about him that stands out as spectacular. Where you watch

987
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, you're just like, oh my god, this guy

988
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: is amazing, Like there's so many good things. But Jamal

989
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: Williams is also like a good football player. And I

990
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: think you're saying Time Montgomery is not but he's a

991
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: different kind of football player. I think Time Montgomery is

992
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: a special player. Um, but you're saying there's a there's

993
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 1: a role in the offense from he's not a three Yeah,

994
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: that's the way the NFL. I mean, why why do

995
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: you think Time Montgomery is less of a guy for

996
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: three carries than Jamal Williams Because they are honestly like

997
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: the exact same size. They're about six they're about six ft,

998
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: Like really, yes, but Time on time. Montgomery was a

999
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver, but he was always short and stocky. How

1000
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: do not know that Jamal Williams was so I don't

1001
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 1: know to fifty for Jamal God, he runs like he's

1002
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: two thirty man. There was a reason though, that he

1003
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: was moved to the wide receiver position. Is that they

1004
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 1: felt that over the course of his career or season

1005
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 1: or anything, he wasn't gonna be able to take the

1006
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: pounding year in and year out. I don't know if

1007
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: it was Dave Shaw or Jim Harby. Harbu would have

1008
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: been gone. Um who initially made that decision. I would

1009
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: assume it's Shaw. But at some point they said, you

1010
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 1: know your best bet is to be a wide receiver,

1011
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: and you know you can be the same size. Well,

1012
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: let's have Alex ka. Let's have Alex. Guys are a

1013
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: different runners. Jamal Williams there in Green Bay again is

1014
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: going to be a guy that a lot of people

1015
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: don't know right now. But because he plays for the Packers,

1016
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: because he plays for this high profile team, he's gonna

1017
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: be a name that a lot of people's circle. What

1018
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: did you think about his game? I mean, I I

1019
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 1: wasn't as enamored with him as several other analysts where

1020
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: I know Franchise really liked him, Matt Waldman, who we

1021
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: had on the show and really respect as a big

1022
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 1: fan of Jamal Williams. I just think the Freddy Morrison

1023
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: comparison wasn't a bad one rank because he just doesn't

1024
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 1: He didn't do anything that would allow me he wasn't.

1025
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: It was not bad or anything. He's a good runner,

1026
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,800
Speaker 1: he's capable of seeing the cutback lanes. He is pretty

1027
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: powerful as well. But I just think I think like

1028
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: he's he's a watered down Eddie Lacy almost in this offense.

1029
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: He's not as big, he's not as bruising, and I

1030
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: think I think Time Montgomery is gonna be able to

1031
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: offer more than the to the offense than Jamal Williams

1032
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: would have. Given the opportunity, like the equitable touches, I

1033
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: think Time Montgomery would produce more with those. Time Montgomery

1034
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: is also, overall the much better athletes and probatic profiles

1035
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 1: a lot better. He's got a lot better short range

1036
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: quickness and things like that, and an explosion. So I

1037
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: I honestly think Time Montgomery, they I mean they didn't,

1038
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 1: He's obviously they didn't. They wouldn't have drafted three running

1039
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: backs if they had faith in Time Montgomery. But I

1040
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: think that the cream is gonna rise to the crop

1041
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: from this group in training camp and stuff. And Montgomery's

1042
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: you know, dynamism, being able to catch passes and being

1043
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: a strong physical runner is going to have him at

1044
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: least be the starter for a while. But it's he

1045
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: has sample size last year was limited. It was and

1046
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: I think that coach and again the coaches know what

1047
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 1: they got, and you use him into a variety of

1048
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: different ways that you wouldn't use Jamal Williams. And if

1049
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: have it, you could have both of those guys on

1050
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: the field at the same time. You put obviously Time

1051
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,280
Speaker 1: Montgomery into the slot, let him go and do his damage.

1052
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: I just think that you can be more creative with

1053
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:21,359
Speaker 1: Time Montgomery. He's your more high end, like expensive, like

1054
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 1: that's the dress shirt that you bought, you know, at

1055
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: at Nordstrom that you only wear on special occasions or

1056
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: when you really want to impress, and then you put

1057
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: on a T shirt and like Jamal Williams, we could

1058
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: ruin this guy's career in three seasons by over using him,

1059
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: and we don't care but we want to protect thy

1060
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 1: Williams because that's the way a lot of these time

1061
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: excuse me away, a lot of these coaches are operating. Now,

1062
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: all right, let's go around the horn. Marcus will start

1063
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: with you. Your favorite pick in your own draft was oh, um,

1064
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: John Ross and no, no, no, no, no, let me think, no,

1065
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: let me, let me, let me revise that. I go

1066
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: with the Richard Matthews in the ninth and why, I

1067
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: do think he's gonna be a sleeper. And I like

1068
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: Corey Davis. I think Corey Davis is gonna be the

1069
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: number one I did. I took him both um, I

1070
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: took him like two rounds earlier. I think he's gonna

1071
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: be the number one Rickie wide receiver. But and I

1072
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: know Alex feels sort of the same way, like I do.

1073
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: Think we've gone so overboard into thinking that somehow Davis

1074
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: is gonna like absorb all of the targets. Um, Richard

1075
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,240
Speaker 1: Matthews is still a good wide receiver, and he obviously

1076
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: showed that he can work well with Marcus Mariota last year.

1077
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: And I think I think he's going to see a

1078
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: lot more opportunity than a lot of people realize right now,

1079
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: Alex Kalah are your favorite pick in your own draft, Um,

1080
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: I'd probably have to go with Isaiah Crowell and the

1081
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: fifth I think he you know, Kroll was a guy

1082
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: that I just broke my thing back here. Never mind,

1083
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: he just came off. Karl was a guy that had

1084
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 1: put together a pretty good season last year, but he

1085
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 1: had spots where he didn't see touches. I think is

1086
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,600
Speaker 1: that offense was kind of figuringhself out. Maybe they're motivating

1087
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: him or whatever. But the upgrades to the offensive line,

1088
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: the fact that I don't think Duke Johnson and I

1089
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: think the team understands it now after last season, isn't

1090
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: ready to be like a between the tackles hammer. You know,

1091
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: the offense could just be better in general with that

1092
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: influx of talent Cody Kesler in his second year, or

1093
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 1: maybe Deshaun Kaiser. I think, you know, Crowl is going

1094
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: to be a very solid RB two and I consider

1095
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: I got him as my RB three yor flex play

1096
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: after already having Elliott and a Gy in the fifth round.

1097
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,919
Speaker 1: I was very happy with that value. I think that's

1098
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: his floor. I think that's the ceiling. I think he

1099
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: provides you a very good RB two floor. I think

1100
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: he could absolutely being RB one one. I mean that's

1101
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: what he was just shy of a thousand yards last year,

1102
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: I think, Or did he just get over it? I can,

1103
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what, man, I'll buy that in

1104
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: the fifth round all day long, Adam rank, your favorite

1105
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: pick in your own draft was, I'm gonna go with

1106
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey in the sixth round. He was the tight

1107
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: end one last year, and just to sneak him in there,

1108
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: it just seemed like a robbery to men um Can

1109
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: I say that are we This may sound, you know, blasphemous,

1110
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 1: but are we too high on Gronk or maybe not

1111
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: high enough on other tight ends? The fact that Gronk

1112
00:53:54,600 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: went at two picked round three, round three picks twenty

1113
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: two overall, the next tight end doesn't go until fifty one,

1114
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: Greg Olsen. And look, I know that the legend of

1115
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski looms large. And when he is at his best,

1116
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 1: obviously he is a one man wrecking crew, multiple back surgery,

1117
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: He's getting up there in age. The Patriots now have

1118
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: a gazillion weapons in this offense, and yes, he will

1119
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 1: always be Tom Brady's number one target as long as

1120
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: he's out there and healthy. But I do feel like

1121
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: that gap in terms of fantasy tight ends is closing

1122
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,880
Speaker 1: significantly on the field in the stat sheets, but it hasn't.

1123
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: It hasn't manifested itself quite yet in draft. You don't

1124
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: think so, because I mean, last year, this guy was

1125
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: going at the end of round one, and you weren't

1126
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: seeing the next tight end go until you know, maybe

1127
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: round six. So I mean, I don't know. I feel

1128
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: as if that the draft gap has closed a bit.

1129
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: I guess it just seems like that still twenty nine

1130
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: picks between tight ends seems huge. I think the reasoning

1131
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: is is because I honestly don't think the gap is

1132
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: closing that much. Rob Gronkowski is an all time great

1133
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: tight end, and for fantasy purpose, is what separates him

1134
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: from the pack is that he's only gonna be twenty

1135
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: eight this year too. For the record, so getting up

1136
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: in six of his eight years he's had double digit touchdowns,

1137
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: and I don't think if we went through the rest

1138
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 1: of all those tight ends you just mentioned, they have

1139
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: six double digit touchdown seasons combined. Might be true. So

1140
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: like that is why you put the premium on him.

1141
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 1: There is because those you know, six five to five

1142
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: to seven touchdowns will say that he gets over those

1143
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: other guys. That is a huge difference maker at the

1144
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: end of the year. Yeah, that's a good point. That's

1145
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 1: a good point. And uh and again, as you mentioned,

1146
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, I mean the double back surgery or

1147
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: I guess he's had three back surgeries now, hasn't he?

1148
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 1: God Lee, So I don't know. I think that's gonna

1149
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: scare off a lot of folks. And that's why we've

1150
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: seen him fall in drafts. From myself, gosh, man, you know,

1151
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: I kind of liked uh taking time Montgomery near the

1152
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:50,320
Speaker 1: end of the fifth round there. I thought that was

1153
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: good value too, you know. And again, I know we've

1154
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: talked about Green Bay's backfield a lot, but you know,

1155
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: if we're if we are this hyper of Christian McCaffrey,

1156
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:02,359
Speaker 1: I think we've already seen it being utilized, that game

1157
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: plan be utilized for a guy like Ty Montgomery. Um,

1158
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 1: and I do think that he's going to be I

1159
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: just think he can be a really really special player,

1160
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: uh in, But we shall see. All right, let's close

1161
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: out your show with a round of daily depths. Depth.

1162
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: Does that depth jail a da time we go to MG.

1163
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 1: My guy, Marcus Grant. I'm going comic book heavy with

1164
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: my daily DAPs today. Wandered just by chance into my

1165
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,759
Speaker 1: friendly neighborhood comic book store on Saturday, only to be

1166
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: reminded that was free comic book Day, which is great.

1167
00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: Um how does that work? It's sort of like record

1168
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,920
Speaker 1: store day where you know, you know, publishers and writers

1169
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: will you know, maybe have a storyline or a particular

1170
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: artist or writer they want to feature, so they'll do

1171
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: a short issue and they'll pan them out for free.

1172
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 1: So it was great, but I did pick up some

1173
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: cool things. Uh. Saga number seven is out, which is exciting.

1174
00:56:57,960 --> 00:56:59,919
Speaker 1: Blew through that as soon as I got home. It's great.

1175
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: It continues to be an amazing series. To go get

1176
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: that Deadly Class number five. Also speaking of the trades,

1177
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: by the way, not the individual issues, but uh, Deadly

1178
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,439
Speaker 1: Class the Trade number five is out as well, which

1179
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 1: is continues to be one of my favorite. And the

1180
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 1: other not comic book but comic related news that really

1181
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: got me excited. UMX has announced they are doing an

1182
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: animated Deadpool series with Donald Glover involved. Is one of

1183
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: the creators of it. So. I know I've professed my

1184
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: man crush on Donald Glover on this show before, and

1185
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: the fact that he's now involved in a Deadpool thing

1186
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: is amazing. And I do think this is, you know,

1187
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: this is him getting his incremental you know, payback for

1188
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: not being able to be Spider Man a few years ago.

1189
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: I think he's he's going to take it out on

1190
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. I continue to do a

1191
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: lot of really cool, you know, comics, sci fi stuff.

1192
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna be Lando CALARISI and now he's doing Deadpool.

1193
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: This is this is his get back. You should't le

1194
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: him be Miles Morales. Now he's gonna take over everything. Boom.

1195
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: I like it, Adam Rank what you got. I also

1196
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: went to the comic book store over the over the weekend.

1197
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: I bought just one raid. I just bought the Darth

1198
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: Vader one, just because I just find myself not having

1199
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: a lot of time. It's always great, like I'll go

1200
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: home and read it and be like, I won't be

1201
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: reading comic books for another three I have I have,

1202
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: I've like, I have books in my desk. I don't

1203
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: have a phone. You don't know. And the thing is is, uh,

1204
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: we had this young lady that worked here, Katy, and

1205
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: she's not she moved on. She was a temporary position.

1206
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: She came up to me one time She's like, yeah,

1207
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: my friend worked for DC Marvel and I'm like, okay,

1208
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: which one that's not two different ones? And uh So

00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: she gave me a couple of titles, including a Harley

1210
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: Quinn trade that I haven't even been able to crack yet.

1211
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:44,880

Speaker 1: this about him in the plane? Oh my god, this

1277
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: is the best. I didn't see the challenge, but I

1278
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: saw so. So for those of you who are not

1279
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: in the no, bow Wow instagrammed the photo of a

1280
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,439
Speaker 1: private jet and like a Bentley in front of parked

1281
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: in front of it and said something about whatever, right,

1282
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: So obviously, you know, implying that he's going to be

1283
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 1: traveling on this private jet. Well, a few hours later

1284
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: somebody saw him on a commercial flight in coach in

1285
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: coach and took a picture of him. Um, so obviously

1286
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: he was outed for the fact that, you know, trying

1287
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,760
Speaker 1: to say he was on a private jet win. In reality,

1288
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 1: he's flying coach on and there's nothing wrong by the way,

1289
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong, flying coach. Okay, there's nothing wrong, but

1290
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 1: why are you fronting like you're on a private jet?

1291
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:40,680
Speaker 1: That doesn't I mean, I get that your bow wow,

1292
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: but okay, what you're on c S I cyber right

1293
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: now at this point, we just go back to calling

1294
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 1: him shad character. CBS Drama is not pulling in the

1295
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: kind of coin. First private jet that's been canceled, and

1296
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: second of all, it's a good show like that, so

1297
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: second was back and so then so then so then

1298
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: the twitter spear gets ahold of it and they create

1299
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: this challenge, uh, this hashtag called the bow Wow Challenge,

1300
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: where it's basically people faking like they're doing you know

1301
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like an example of this would be like, uh,

1302
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: they're like about to get turned and it's like a

1303
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: picture of like, uh, what seemingly is a giant bottle

1304
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: of Hennessey or something, right, and in reality it's one

1305
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: of those little miniature airplane bottles the airplane. So it's

1306
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: just and there's a series of these pictures floating out

1307
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: on the internet right now with the hashtag bow wow challenge.

1308
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: My god, I was dying. I'm gonna have to look

1309
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: at some of these afterwards. Some of them are very

1310
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they're done very very well. I will

1311
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: undap myself because I got fooled by a troll account

1312
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 1: from uh C D Underscore Carter thirteen. He sent me

1313
01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: something in French and the French translation was how did

1314
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: this guy get a job? And he at tweeted me

1315
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: and he at tweeted NFL network and he used the

1316
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: shrug emoji. I had to obviously use a Google machine.

1317
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: I don't speak French, and so I saw it was

1318
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 1: how did this guy get a job? And I was

1319
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 1: I was kind of like, WHOA, why is this dude

1320
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: who is in the fantasy community. I'm like, why is

1321
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 1: this dude taking random pot shots at me? This is

1322
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: so random? And so I replied back to him saying like,

1323
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: you know, uh, I I appreciate your book. Apparently you

1326
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:40,640

Speaker 1: and blues and rock and he's just phenomenal with an

1350
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,960

01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 1: is adorable and funny, stupid cute. In the Don't Hate

1363
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: don't you dare yes that that impacts the story? Uh?

1364
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: And then last also Better Call adapts to Better Call Saul,

1365
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:38,560

Speaker 1: was Monday's the show. But if you're not watching Better

1369
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 1: Called Saul, get caught up. It is exceptionally well written. Uh,

1370
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: and it's just great to see all those other characters

1371
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: playing things out. Unnaps the James co for hating on

1372
01:06:56,040 --> 01:07:04,240
Speaker 1: Big Lebowski. Yes, we do because you think you and

1373
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: then he comes after look this is the and and

1374
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 1: it's funny too, because I said, Okay, you know, I

1375
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 1: gave the preface of hot take alert, I think Big

1376
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 1: the Big Lebowski is is horribly overrated. Why is that

1377
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: a hot take? Can you just not like a movie?

1378
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't look and I don't think like and this

1379
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 1: is the funny thing. So my reply of I think

1380
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: it's horrendously overrated got a bunch of retweets and likes,

1381
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 1: and also your take of or no, your take of

1382
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: you're dead to me, Marcus Grant, you said, James Tico,

1383
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: You're dead to me also got an equal number of

1384
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 1: retweets and likes. I didn't understand that there are so

1385
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: many people out there who had poor taste tvies. It's

1386
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: a polarizing film. Um, and it's funny, like you know,

1387
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,919
Speaker 1: when it's in the top five of people's movie I'm

1388
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: just like, don't you don't see don't you look at it?

1389
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: When you started? I think it's in the good five film.

1390
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 1: When you start doing the top five movies of the

1391
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: nineties and look at some of the things that it's

1392
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 1: up again and you're like, Nope, no, maybe it's not

1393
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 1: that great, right, Like Paul Fiction came out in the nineties,

1394
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 1: like that should be your thing. Pul Fiction was my

1395
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 1: number one, and The Big He was my number two.

1396
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: Those two films changed my outlook on cinema, Like the

1397
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:20,719
Speaker 1: two best two My two favorite quarterbacks in the NFL

1398
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:25,799
Speaker 1: are Aaron Rodgers and Mike Lennon. But I said, Aaron Rodgers,

1399
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 1: did you just compare the Big I'm done, I'm not,

1400
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm leaving. He said, the Big Lebowski is the mikew

1401
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 1: I said, I gave Aaron Rodber created by saying he

1402
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 1: was the Big Lebowski. Thank you. But that's what it's like, right,

1403
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: like you compared to something else and you're like, um,

1404
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 1: this is This is one of the reasons I said

1405
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 1: The Lebowski is the Big Lebowski. It was not in

1406
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,760
Speaker 1: my top five was because I thought some of it

1407
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 1: was overacted. I thought some of it was a little

1408
01:08:55,960 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 1: bit over overdone. Uh that being said, still funny movie,

1409
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:02,559
Speaker 1: still a good movie. Alright, say it's a bad movie

1410
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 1: real quick. Let's just not in my top ten. Let's

1411
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 1: get your guys top fives in the nineties or the

1412
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: nineties top five nineties. I's not ready for it. This

1413
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 1: needs to be adjudicated on Twitter dot com, because of

1414
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 1: course it does. Of course, I'm just a drugs in

1415
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: the nineties, so it's gonna take me a while to

1416
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: remember what happened. I think Terminator too, you guys throughout

1417
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 1: Terminator two. That's certainly in my top five. Yeah, because yeah,

1418
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: mostly because fiction. Good Fellas nine was Reservoir Dogs in

1419
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:36,719
Speaker 1: the nineties. Yes, it was, I think seven the nineties.

1420
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 1: That's what so hard as the nineties is an extremely

1421
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 1: deep I will saw shank dem I will say that

1422
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: the one, the one bad omission I had because Alex

1423
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: and Alex and I were kind of spitballing doing this

1424
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:50,719
Speaker 1: club bad drinking beers. Yes, So my my one regret

1425
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 1: is that I did omit the usual suspects that should

1426
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: have been in my top five Independence Day Stick get

1427
01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:58,960

1428
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: we can hit the music of all Blue Liss five,

1429
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 1: Will you get out of Here? But I'm saying there's

1430
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: good movies. Yeah, I know there's good movies, just like

1431
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 1: The Big Lebowski is a good movie. It's just not

1432
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 1: in my top five. It's not even in my top ten. Guys, scream,

1433
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:20,000

01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: deep decade, but let's get out of nights. Oh my god, Lebowski.

1435
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Is Big Lebowski gonna break my top twenty?

1436
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: Big Lebowski is far superior to Boogie Nights. You can

1437
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 1: fight me about that. If literally not figurative, why are

1438
