But we're 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.120 also gonna go through them on the show live for you. 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.920 Give you the rankings, give you who are sleepers are 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.919 at the position and simply have a debate upon it. 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.600 That's what this time of year is for. We are 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.400 officially in the middle of August, so which means we 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.160 are officially in the middle of the draft season. I think, Frank, 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.280 every weekend going forward up until the draft day, like 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.720 I think I have a draft, Yeah, I would, except 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.120 this weekend. Yeah, ex so this weekend, That's what's right, 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.359 one Monday, We'll got Mondays this weekend, so I have 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.000 one this Monday that we have the g S t 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.639 uh the next weekend plus Carton's draft, and then a 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.720 week later is my home draft. That's and that's where 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.280 I got going on. So literally every weekend through the 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.560 beginning of football season, I'm rock and rolling, and I'm 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:10.720 sure all our watchers and listeners are too. Yeah, that's 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.000 exactly the point right around now. I mean every weekend, 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.120 like you mentioned, there's drafts going on. So you know, 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.320 people want to know about our updated rankings, how we 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.720 feel about certain players. That is basically what we're trying 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.320 to do here. And we're gonna talk about, you know, 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.600 tears rankings, which guy we have where, and maybe maybe 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.400 a little bit of debate who yeah, and probably so. 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.400 So today we're obviously starting with the quarterback position. Uh 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.359 and and when we get you can get rankings and 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:38.080 debate and tears everywhere. Um, but we appreciate you watching us. 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.840 We appreciate you given our rankings and our tears. Shot, 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.680 we'll defend ourselves. And today we bring up with the quarterbacks. 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.440 Tomorrow the running back wide receivers, and listen, if we 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.440 don't finish uh here, we don't finish the position in 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.480 a day, we'll do it in tomorrow, like no big deal. 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.440 There's no pressure on this. Obviously, as breaking news comes, 0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.120 we're gonna get to that too. So don't think you're 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.440 gonna miss any breaking news because of our regular scheduled programming. 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.440 Here we're all being said, Frank, what they started that 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.560 they Saturdayday has to do with your quarterback in the 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.560 Flex League. Actually, last season in seventeen, Cam Newton average 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.160 eighteen rushing yards per game in his first five games 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.360 of the season, sixty point four rushing yards per game 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.640 over his final eleven. Overall, finished first in every rushing 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.760 category for QB's last season, his seven hundred and fifty 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.800 four rushing yards was a career high so you saw 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.000 last year they were a little hesitant to let Cam 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.280 Newton run loose and really, you know, let him do 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.719 his thing. But after those first five games, they really 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.280 just said, alright, Cam your thing, go out there, be 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.640 who you are, and he took off and from there 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.000 on out he ended up finishing as the top five quarterback. 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.240 And I have him ranked at the top five quarterback 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.040 right now as well. And they ultimately last year they 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.039 kind of took the reins off him once they realized 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.240 and deemed that he was healthy. This seems to me, 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.200 Frank getting to Cam Newton, who is ranked as my 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.200 fourth ranked quarterback. UM, this seems like the one year 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.640 in in meanly a while that he's not banged up 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.039 and bruised coming into the year. I mean, he's had 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.640 some shoulder issues. I remember he had the car accident. 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:12.080 He went deep into the playoffs previously. It's not the 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.920 case right now, like he is totally totally healthy. The 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.800 body feels good. He's still pretty young, under thirty years old. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.279 I recognize there's new offensive coordinator, the new quarterbacks coaches, 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.039 the turners have come in here, but Cam is probably 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.320 still gonna Cam and when he is healthy he finishes 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.120 as a top of LEAs five quarterback every single year. 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.400 I don't see how that changes this year. He's still 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.080 gonna be the goal line beast. And I actually picked 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.240 things from Canuton. Yeah, so I actually have him as 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.680 my QB three. I moved him ahead of Russell Wilson 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.280 as well. Um, and partially just look at what he 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.960 did last year. He finishes the QB two last season. 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.040 I mentioned the rushing yards. He still had six rushing 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.839 touchdowns last season. Thinking about this, he only threw twenty 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:55.280 two touchdowns last year. He now has the best weapons 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.599 of his career. He did what he did last year. 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.160 That was without Greg Olsen for a majority of the year. 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.400 That was without d J. Moore, who they just drafted 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.640 in the first round. So now you give Cam Newton 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:06.880 the best weapons of his career. And there are question 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.240 marks with the offensive line. Uh, there's some injuries there. 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.000 We know that they lost. They lost a big piece 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.800 the guy that went over to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Let 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:23.560 me out here, Greg the offensive lineman. So um, yeah, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.479 so there's questions about the offensive line, but we've seen 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.520 that with running quarterbacks that doesn't necessarily hurt all that much. 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.680 Russell Wilson had a terrible offensive line last year, and 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.560 while he had to run around more, that kind of 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.799 led to more fantasy production. So I'm not really worried 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.040 about that for Cam. I think he's in line for 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.280 a big year. Al Right, So you said you moved 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:45.240 Russell Wilson down a couple of pegs consensus, Russell Wilson 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.800 is h B two everywhere else, Aaron Rodgers is your 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.279 number one. Aaron Rodgers number my number one. I don't 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:52.800 want to kind of dwell on that. He's both of 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.200 our number ones. And then we get to number two. 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.520 That's where I have Russell Wilson as most of the 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.200 fantasy community. Frank, you have dropped them all the way 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:04.560 down to number four. How come? Well, I am worried 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.120 about this double Baldwin injury. Um, they say that he's 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:08.600 gonna be ready for a week one, but you have 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.000 you have to worry about that. I mean, look, he's 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.680 not getting his repsin throughout training camp, and look he 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.680 doesn't necessarily need it. He's been with the team for 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.240 a while. He has a rapport with Russell Wilson, and 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:20.440 I was excited about Doug Baldwin in terms of you know, 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.240 he was gonna see a career high in targets. But 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.640 you take Jimmy Graham off this team as well. Now 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.880 they have Nick Vanette, they have Ed Dixon, Tyler Lockett 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.280 their deep threat. They're trying to talk up Brandon Marshall. 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.440 Now I worry a little bit about the weapons. I 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.720 still do like Russell Wilson. It's not like I dropped him, 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.920 you know, outside my top ten or anything crazy like that. 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.160 I moved them down a few pegs. I just feel 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.000 like Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, those guys are as safe 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:43.520 as they come. And and Cam Newton I think has 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.320 a little bit more upside. Brian Schottenhimer offense worries me 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.320 a little bit. So I just do think that when 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.360 you're splitting hairs with these guys at the top, for 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.840 those reasons, I drop him down a few pegs. I 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.160 still do think he's an elite rushing quarterback. We know 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.400 the floor that that brings every single year at least 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.640 four fifty rushing yards in every season. Actually, at least 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.920 four hudd and eighty nine rushing yards in five of 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.640 six seasons played with the Seahawks. Um. The offensive line 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.080 should be a little bit better. I just have some 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.760 question marks with the weapons there. So so I think 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.400 one of the reasons that I have Russell Wilson UM 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.280 ahead of Tom Brady was really there was a bit inconsistency, 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.840 oddly enough from Tom Brady, specifically from week thirteen on. 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.440 Let me let you know where he finished. Right against 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.120 Buffalo in week thirteen he was twenty eight ranked quarterback. 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.239 He had nine point three fantasy points. In Week fourteen 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.080 in the playoffs, he had eleven point three fantasy points, 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.720 finished twenty second that week. In Week fifteen against Pittsburgh 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.600 fourteen point seven fantasy points that was good for again 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.760 twenty second, and then in Week sixteen against Buffalo he 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.720 finished in the top ten, number nine, with just sixteen 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.920 point six fantasy points. I get why everybody loves Tom 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.280 Brady because he's the goat, right, He's one of the 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.760 greatest quarterbacks to ever do it and to ever live 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.560 the The offense for the Patriots gets the red zone 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.400 more than any offense in football, but he had more 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.760 red zone attempts throwing the passing the ball, uh than 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:06.120 Tom Brady last year. UM. Nobody had more attempts in 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.600 general than Tom Brady last year. We had more passing 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.520 yards and Tom Brady last year. I understand all of that, 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.360 but how you ended what you did with Russell Wilson 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.800 kind of described why I'm interested in him. They need 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.280 improve their line this offseason for the run game. You 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.400 asked the d J fluker. But they obviously also signed 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.280 Wayne brand to the long term contract extension. They realized 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.800 that this is by far the biggest weakness of this team. 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:36.240 And yes, Doug Baldon being out hurt, but like there's 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.800 this connection between Doug Baldwin and Russell Wilson over the 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.240 past five seasons that I'm not exactly worried about that. 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.280 Maybe he will will be back for Week one, maybe 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.960 he will whatever, but I'm not I'm not worrying about 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.199 that injury when it comes to Russell Wilson. And we 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:50.920 keep hearing that Seattle wants to go back to the 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:52.880 basics and back to what has worked in the past, 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.839 and nobody's talking so much about running the ball like 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.079 they used to. They're talking about the competition and that's 0:09:58.080 --> 0:09:59.880 what they want to get to on the defensive side 0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:02.520 of the ball. All about competition, say with the wide receivers, 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.559 the best player is going to play. The best player 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.760 on this team for the last couple of years, regardless 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:09.520 of any position, has been Russell Wilson, and that ability 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.480 to rush for the four hundred and fifty yards he's 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:14.840 going to every single year. To me, he makes up 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:16.560 for the fact that they don't necessarily give the red 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.920 zone as much as Tom Brady does his ability to 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.079 rush for a touchdown. Yeah, Brady's gonna get you your 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.599 your plunges from the one yard line, no doubt, but 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.360 I think you can count on Russell Wilson to do 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.600 that more. Um So, I'm definitely gonna have Russell Wilson 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.520 at two. In fact, to me, it's closer to put 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.800 Newton over Brady than it is Brady over Wilson. I 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:35.679 didn't do it. I'm kind of gonna split the hairs there. 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:40.440 Um So I have Wilson to Brady three and Newton four. Yeah. 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.719 I respect everything that you said about Tom Brady, and 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.120 people might have a salty taste in their mouth if 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.679 they had him in fantasy last year. And look all 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.480 the stats that you mentioned for him, the game by 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.360 game of stats. They're all valid. But then look at 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.720 what he did in the playoffs, right, Like, he's still 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.920 Tom Brady. Three thirty seven and three touchdowns against Tennessee's, 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.120 nine and two against Jacksonville, five and five passing yards 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.000 and three touchdowns against the Philadelphia Eagles. So I don't 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.120 really have many question marks with Tom Brady for fancy 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.360 to be honest, I'm probably not gonna own any of 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.960 these guys. But like if Cam Newton or Russell Wilson 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.160 were to slip a little bit, like maybe I'll take 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.920 a shot on those guys. But like Aaron Rodgers, where 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.400 he's gonna go in most drafts fifth sixth round, Tom 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.320 Brady sixth round as well, Like, probably not gonna end 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.640 up with any of those guys regardless. Do you think 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.640 the tier ends here because we both have the same 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.599 four quarterbacks in some mored you so you were with me, 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.160 that's here ends there? Yeah. I mean a lot of 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.320 people have Deshaun Watson and that's here too. I don't, 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:37.760 and we'll talk about that. But I don't have him 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:39.800 in the top tier. I don't. I I'm feeling more 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.640 confident on him. I don't have him in the top tier. 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.079 Stone I am feeling more confident on him. And in 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.599 reference to where you're taking quarterbacks, you put up a 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.360 really interesting poll about basically, what's your strategy with the quarterback? 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.199 Do you take one of these top tiers? Do you 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.520 take Andrew Luck who? I actually didn't like that part 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:54.880 of the poll, and a lot of thing I explained 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:56.760 to that in a bit um, do you take a 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:00.320 middle round guy or do you take or you wait? Wait, wait, 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.840 and every fantasy expert and every fantasy analyst is going 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.680 to tell you to wait, wait, wait, hell. In that poll, 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:09.199 I voted for wait, wait, wait. But and maybe it's 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.800 just because we're in these quote expert drafts or high 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.280 stakes leagues draft but you only wait to a certain point, 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:16.840 like there's going to be value there and that's why, 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.000 or flex league like I drafted Cam Newton, was the 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.320 seventh round where I had basically my entire story lineup 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.720 was filled outside of my tight end and my quarterback. 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.280 Like every position was filled outside of my tight end 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.960 and my quarterback. So that's point like I had felt 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.000 like I waited enough and still somebody in my top 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.880 tier was there. So I understand why you're waiting for 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.079 a Stafford or Rivers guys are gonna get to throughout 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.040 the show. If there's value there to be had, I'm 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:41.800 going to grab it. Like there's going to be that 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.120 point to me where if Aaron Rodgers still on the board, 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.800 I don't care that he's a quarterback. The heat has 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:49.679 gone that not hate for him, the hate for the 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.679 position just goes too far, and I'm gonna grab it. 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:53.400 And we saw that in the seventh round of our 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.400 draft over the weekend, where I felt like we had 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.480 hit that part and that's why I wanted Cam Newton 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.280 in the seventh round. Yeah, and I actually really like 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.400 that pick. I no problem with taking him there in 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:03.640 the seventh round. I think that's great value. Uh. The 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.520 reason why I couldn't do that, and again it's roster construction, 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.400 how you start your draft. I started my draft with 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.559 three running backs, so from there on out, I was 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.800 kind of playing catch up on the wide receiver position. 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:15.320 So I was just loading up on wide receiver wide 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.839 receiver on all the picks after that, hopefully trying to 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.640 find like one of those mid round diamonds in the rough, 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.160 one of these guys that could break out. I ended 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.199 up with like Josh Gordon Randall, Cobb. So so you 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.040 have draft up. Now you rand up with Josh Gordon 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:29.800 in the fifth, you took carry on Johnthan who I 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.559 really liked in the sixth, um, and then we get 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.720 to the seventh and you had I guess, only two 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.560 wide receivers at the time in four running backs, which 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:37.920 is a story line up. I mean, you have your 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.240 story line up. We need three in this league. Um, 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.680 so you're one wide receiver away from from your story lineup. 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:49.319 Essentially to me, like knowing exactly what you had said 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.240 that draft ing that flover is gonna take Andrew Luck 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.720 on the turn, which he did, and you're you really 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.319 like Andrew Luck. I might have went with Luck there. 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.320 I'm not a really big Randall Cob guy, for instance, 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.079 I might have taken Luck there. That's that's all I 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.199 have to say about that. Yeah, So the way I 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.240 have it ranked, I have Andrew Luck is my QB five. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.160 I have Big Band is my QB six. A lot 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.199 of people are not that aggressive on Big Ben. But 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:11.679 for me to get Ben Roethlisberger as late as I 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.959 did and impair him with an upside guy and Patrick Mahomes, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.040 I have no problem with that. So I have Andrew 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.320 Luck ranked as my sixth rank quarterback. I could be 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.960 talking into moving him to five before we continue our 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.360 rankings to get to the next year. I want to 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.360 talk to you at eight four four, eight four, three 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.440 six eight seven nine. I want to go to Mike 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.880 in Philly. What's up, Mike? Hey? Are you guys doing 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.400 to day? Doing great? Man? What's going on? Hey? Are 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.240 you guys high on Mari Cooper this year? Frank is 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.320 much higher than I am on Mark Cooper, and Florida 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.920 was the highest out of all of us. I'll be honest. 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.880 I drafted him as my wide receiver one in that 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:45.880 draft in the fourth round. Mind you, this was a 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.120 non PPR draft. I think where he's going is adequate. 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.760 Right like last year, he was an early to mid 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:53.680 second round pick that might have been a little bit 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.640 too high, but you just look at the pedigree, the 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.200 background of John Gruden. Every year he's been a head coach, 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.080 he's had a one thousand yard receive. Everything that we've 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.120 heard U until this point is that they're going to 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.000 put Amari Cooper in the position to be this team's 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.360 wide receiver one, to be the top target in order 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.960 to succeed They're gonna move him all around the formation. 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.080 They're not just gonna keep him on the outside. I 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.240 know that's something Michael Florio spoke a lot about, and 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:18.640 that they're gonna move him before the play starts a 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:21.400 lot to get him moved off of the team's opposing 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.080 number one cornerback. And that's big because he plays in 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.520 a division where he's gonna see Casey Hayward, where he's 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:30.000 gonna see the Broncos corners as well. So, um, that's 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.920 important for him. I think where he's going, maybe that 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:37.480 three four swing, I think that's adequate value. I don't. 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.280 I don't feel great about it. I don't think it's 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.680 like a steel I don't I think it's adequate. Let 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.080 to be fair, when you said those Broncos cornerbacks obviously 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:49.000 not what they want, were Radley Roby the other starting 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.960 to other starting quarterback right now for the Brackos, Like 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:53.840 one more call before we hit the break. We're gonna 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.640 go to Shawn in New York. What's up Sean? Hey, guys, 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:01.520 and I called yesterday running backs in my sixteen team 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.440 standard league. Um, I'm gonna call it today about you know, 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.480 maybe some mid round receivers that I could start at, 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:12.040 like a wide receiver three, maybe even two. I didn't 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.440 know if you guys had any players on your mind, 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:18.040 maybe I could plug and start on draft night rank 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.080 so some mid round wide receivers. Look, I I waited 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:23.720 on some of these guys. So just to give you 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.200 an idea of who I ended up with. Like, I 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.240 got Josh Gordon in the fifth round. That's the twelve 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.360 team league. He's dropping a little bit. It is a 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.280 risky play, but there is some upside there. And then again, 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.160 guys like Randall Cobb right around here, I would say 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:39.680 it's like the late twenties, early thirties in my rankings. 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:43.880 Michael Crabtree, Randall Cobb, Jamison Crowder, Emmanuel Sanders, who I 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:45.960 feel like is being disrespected a little bit in drafts 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.360 right now. Uh, some later guys, Robby Anderson, Mark He's Goodwin, 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.440 Cooper Cup, Robert Woods. I think those are all you know, 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.960 solid wide receivers. You know, high end wide receiver threes 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.640 who have a little bit more upside, who are slipping 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.800 in drafts right now for whatever reason. And we've talked 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.080 about these guys, but I still do like them. Couple 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:06.560 of those guys I like in that same section, Robby Anderson, 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.520 Devin Funcis, Markey's goodwin. A little bit later on Nelson 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.280 Aghilor and Cooper Cup all guys in that middle round 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.560 wide receivers that I really really like this. Yeah, Mike 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.320 Williams from l A two, I'm starting to warm up. 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.919 I just rose him on my draft ward this morning. Actually, 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.640 we take a break here, we'll come back. More quarterback 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:26.600 rankings coming up next, like a great pass rusher.

We're giving you the 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.280 quarterback rankings, your tears, your debates and your sleepers were 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.680 doing this all week long, certainly not with the quarterbacks, 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:20.399 but that is where we begin. Frankie. You you mentioned 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.600 you have Andrew Luck at number five. I have Andrew 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.879 Luck ranked at number six. We have both bought in 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.600 that he's back. He's healthy, uh, and he looks good. 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.240 And I read a lot about Andrew Luck actually this morning, 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:33.760 and I was reading how it's amazing though the guy 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.520 playing his first game and seemingly two years picked up 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.280 Frank's Frank Rice's offense pretty easily in game one. And 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:40.960 I know there was not you're not like a game planning, 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.240 but he looked good in that first preseason game, and 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:48.000 you're completely buying that he's back. That's why he's number five, 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.880 because he still has a potential to finish his QB one. Overall, 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.800 you're getting at the fifth spot, and in the expert draft, 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:55.920 he's going you know, around seven round eight, which is 0:18:55.960 --> 0:19:00.679
