What's going on on the 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:17.399 pretty long weekend? Fun times? As long as an interesting 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:24.160 dude there? Yet? I was your I woke up. I 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:25.960 think I'm sick, but like I don't it might just 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.200 be like sick. I don't know. I think I might 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.480 be super dehydrated. To be honest with you, I think 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.600 that's what it is. We're not drinking yesterday, No Saturday. 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.160 Was that drinking they'll dehydrated from Saturday. Dude. I was 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.640 a mess yesterday Mornday. I was hung over for quite 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:44.000 a while. Um, and then I thought I was through it, 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:45.720 and then I woke up this morning, Ale, I am, 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.960 I am not in a good place, and I like 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.280 me Saturday more. Yes, that's exactly what it was. And 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.720 of course Judy is running around like she's always one 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.080 that sleeps late and gets hungover, and she's like running 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.000 around the apartment. I'm sitting there like, oh my god, 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.280 what is happening life? It was not gonna have a 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:07.480 playoff kickball game tonight, Final four. Monday's Monday kickball Monday Thursday. 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.960 This week if we make it Thursday. Yeah, Well, our 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.600 number two hitters out with an injury. He heard his 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:20.200 knee last week. Number two hitter, kick kicker. He's hurt, 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.480 so he's not gonna play, which is a little scary, 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:24.239 but we'll see what we can do. You know the 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.280 guy who the guy who backs you up. Yeah, he's awesome. 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:31.919 It's it's my guy. It's come big. Jets fan watched 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.240 the show good job. Yeah, Saturday was a crazy day. Um, 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.960 we had a draft. Frank of course showed a late, 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:39.880 as he does every year every g s T draft 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:41.760 that we have. I think it was there for the 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.239 first selection. You were there for our first selection and 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.200 not the first selection of the draft, even though it 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.520 starts supposed to start at eleven. Drank out there closer 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.320 to twelve eleven thirty. I took an uberpool. Man. You 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.880 can't control those things, you can't, um, and then I 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.560 had to leave early so I had more important business 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.520 to tend to. What kind of business, Greig? I am 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:05.679 also now engaged, yes, and that's why we were on 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.480 drinking on Saturday night at one point. At one point 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.480 everybody in the control room today, I was engaged. Yeah, 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:18.959 I'm married, doesn't have a girlfriend that's single? Engaged? So 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.000 how has that change your life? I wasn't. How did 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.000 everything go? Everything went great? It went really really great. 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:25.800 Our buddy Steve was gonna be here a little bit. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:27.760 It was fantastic. With the pictures, he just said them 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.000 gonna be this morning, so I was able to take 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.760 a look at them. Sweet. He was awesome with them. Um. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.320 She walked in and we had the front of a 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:39.000 restaurant decorated, and she walked right past the decorations and 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:40.640 then I popped out and I was supposed to be 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.320 at a draft which just was it just left early, um, 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.480 and she was like, hey, what are you doing here? 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.960 Like turn around, turn around to the direction the decorations. 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.600 She's like, I knew it, and I'm like did you though, 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.880 Like your nails aren't done, you have no idea? And uh, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.880 we got the proposal and then she was just like, 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.960 oh my god, this is happening to me. This is me. 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.440 You're like, yeah, the best part is the whole story. 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.000 She'll kill me for saying this if I'm going to. 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.960 So I get down on one knee and I say 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.000 some things. She later told me she expected a little 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:14.600 bit more out of the out of the speech. On 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.040 the knee, I told I was like, listen, I mean, 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.800 I can't even think right now. I wasn't writing a 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:25.599 whole paragraph here or a poem right exactly. So I said, 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.200 you know, a couple of lines, um, And then before 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.120 you get off with knee, she grabs up the ring, 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.720 the box of the ring out of my hand, takes 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.080 the ring and puts it on her finger herself, and 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.400 then proceeds to put it instead of putting on her 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.280 ring finger up on her index finger, and she was, 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.919 oh my god, oh my god, like, what are you doing. 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:48.280 I go it's on the wrong finger and she she's 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.560 literally shaking, and she's just like, I don't know, I'm 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.360 not used to this. And and and about an hour later, 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.520 we're eating and she's like, did I ever say yes? 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:02.800 Like no, but it's cool. Um, at least you said 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:04.440 some things. I mean when I did know, I was 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.800 just like, yeah, you know, we were talking to our friends. 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.160 We were talking to our friends um later that night, 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:12.560 and he was like, at least you were better than that. 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:13.880 He was. He got on one knee and he just 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.800 he couldn't speak. He was just like, ah, I was 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.160 like a robot, like a robot. Robot. I wasn't a robot, 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.240 but it wasn't like as calculated as I normally am, 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.200 or was like like moving my hands as normal. I 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:29.200 was just in the zone, you know, beforehand to the nerves. 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.520 I was offered quite a few, and I just wanted 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.240 to be like totally sober for it. Not that one 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.919 shots can do anything. But the problem was we had 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.520 a bottle champagne there at the restaurant. Went back to 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.080 our apartment where our families were waiting. Uh, had quite 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.080 a bit more champagne at that point, and then went 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.080 to the bar and like took quite have been a 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.000 few shots and drinks and beard and it was just 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.800 like a whole mixture. And that was why I was 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.400 like disaster. And then of course the second bar then 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.599 plays the brutal Morris song Marry You, and everyone went crazy. 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.080 Yeah I know, um. And then I drafted them in 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:05.760 the morning and noon and spinning carton draft morning as 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.480 it was a wild, wild weekend. How was your weekend, Frank, Uh, 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.920 not nearly as eventful as that. Um. Friday was a 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.400 good time. And then Saturday I had to drafts. Sunday 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.760 I also had two drafts, and little did I know, 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.240 I'm a huge Kirk Cousins fan. I ended up with 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.400 Kirk Cousins, and I think four out of five drafts 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.440 I've done since Thursday, it just seems like he just 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.360 keeps ending up being the guy that's available when I 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.840 want to take a quarterback, and it seems like he 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.800 could take the the elite, elite level jumper. I think 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.000 because I wasn't in the room on Sunday, I didn't 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.720 necessarily realize who you were you had and like, I 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.040 was shocking you didn't the best tight on the board 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.440 where Glenny Walker and Trey Burtons, Like Frank's clearly in 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.040 to date Trey Burton to make sure he gets them 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:48.920 that I did, and I texted you was like, how 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.279 did you take him? Was like, dude, I have zach 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.200 ERT's Like, oh, okay, that Gert's too, another guy who 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.160 was just randomly going on the fifth round now everywhere 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.560 every year. I don't really know why. Yeah, um, we 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.600 had a Gronk and Eleague. We didn't see that coming. 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.040 I ended up with Gronk in two drafts that I've 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.000 done since the Thursday night was the beat Frank Standfeld 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.960 draft and then over the weekend Saturday GST. We end 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.160 up with Gronk again in the middle of the third round. Again, 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:19.120 you're getting a when healthy borderline first round talent. It's 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:20.880 just a matter of how healthy is he going to be, 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.280 But you baked that into where he's being drafted. He's 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.440 going in the middle of the third round. Yeah, it's 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.760 pretty good value. It's great listen, it's great value. And 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.760 I saw people actually on Twitter talking about it as well. 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:33.880 I think it was having Silva that was like, hey, 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.880 I'm not the ground guy. Might have been Pianowski, Okay, 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.840 because I'm not the grunk guy, but when he's there 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.440 in the middle of the third round, you gotta pull it. 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:42.960 And oh because I sent the text to you guys, 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.920 because Pianowski started his draft Kareem Haunt, Keenan Allen and 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.680 then Rob Gronkowski, and I was like, and when we 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.640 were in this draft, we had six pick, seventh pick, 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:57.120 and at that point, Antonio Brown was falling right and 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.520 seeing all the running backs go and it's very interesting 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:02.840 watching and this is now the second consecutive draft, but 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.200 we just saw all the running backs just get pushed up, 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.400 even ahead of Antonio Brown and DeAndre Hopkins. Um, we 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:13.400 see you get pushed up. And I was like, we 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:16.600 should take Kreem Hunt. And it is a three man team. 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:21.040 And at that point, both Florio and Franker Lake Antonio 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.120 browns the move and we wound up taking Antonio Brown. 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.200 And in the second round, I really wanted Keenan Allen 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:31.720 um compair with Cream Hunt. Now, Cream Keenan Allen was there, 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:33.440 but at that point I did not want to take 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.520 a chance on Alex Collins being my number one running 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.360 back as Frank pushed heavily, and at that point Frank 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.520 got outvoted and we took Davante Freeman with our second 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.360 bit pick. Then the third round, we were just like 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.360 which running back to we want? Which wide receiver do 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:47.920 we want? Because we would could went in every direction, 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:49.959 and we were about to I think, probably pulling the 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.199 trigger at Alex Collins. I guess um, and then I 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.480 just look at the board. I'm like, holy crap, we're 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:59.600 at three seven and Gronk is still there. And Frank 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.319 and I basically looked at each other and we knew it, 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:03.800 like as soon as I said it, and frankly got 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.280 the board, He's just like, we have to pull this. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.240 Like I don't want Gronk because I can draft, but 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.599 the value is just too good. We gotta do it. 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.400 So my biggest takeaway, as he mentioned zach Ertz and 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.040 I mentioned Gronk, the tight ends, much like the receivers, 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.000 they're all falling, they're all following. His running backs continue 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.440 to get pushed up the draft. Whether it's a Royce Freeman, 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:25.920 whether it's Jamal Williams, everybody's getting pushed up drafts. Right now, 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:27.920 and the tight ends are now falling. Gronk in the 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.000 middle of the third round is incredible value. I think 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.760 Earth's in the fifth is great value. Kelsey and the fourth. 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.920 It all makes sense to me. Um, that's kind of 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.760 how our early part of the draft went. Frankie. Yeah. 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:42.600 So basically, when we took Davante Freeman in the second round, reminder, 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:44.400 this is a full point PPR league. I was telling 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:49.040 these guys, let's say Keenan Allen and receiver. At that point, 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.040 I think, look, you started Antonio Brown, Keenan Allen, You're 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.439 gonna get two plus receptions out of those two guys. Um, 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.520 So I think if we did that, we probably don't 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.400 take Gronk in the third. We probably come back and 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.760 take Alex Collins, will make sure that we locked down 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:04.840 r RB one in the middle of the third round. 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.280 But seeing the way things turned out ultimately, I don't 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.199 really mind what we did. I'm again, I'm not a 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.600 big DeVonta Freeman guy. I feel like I've been pushing 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.559 him down a little bit. I'm worried about not a 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.559 little bit you were. I want to make this very clear, 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.640 and I could have him ranked very highly like a 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.400 high n RB two, so which is what we're RB one. 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.360 But Frank was so angry. Remember we talked about like 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.280 angry Frank, and he comes in here and he's just 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.719 like really mad. He's just like really really mad and 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.800 full around. I'm joke and makes him angrier when we 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.400 joke about that. And there's just certain days where stuff's 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.280 going on downstairs or in his life where he just 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.800 comes in he's angry. So on Saturday, he was very hungover, 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.000 so he was already not the best mood. Like, once 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:44.880 he got some water in him, he was totally fine. 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.480 He started drinking against drink before the king. Yeah, so 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.240 all was fine once you got the water in him. 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.439 But he comes in drunk, he comes and hungover. And 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.040 then that when he had DeVonta Freeman, that was as 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.120 angry as I Frank ever, and then the Gronk thing 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.360 kind of proked him up a little bit and he 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.400 was so man Javonta Freeman and I just all on 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.920 all honesty. Couldn't make Alex Collins by RB one And 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:09.040 that's what pour me. Apart from that pick. Yeah, I mean, 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.160 ideally you don't want Alex Collins to be or RB 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:12.760 one but you can afford to take the hit at 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.880 running back when your first two wide receivers are Antonio 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.880 Brown and Keenan Now And so that's what I was thinking. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.080 But you know, looking back on it again, I said, 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:20.400 the way it turned out, it made me feel a 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.880 little bit better because we got arguably the number one 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.160 wide receiver and then we got not arguably in my opinion, 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:27.880 he is the number one tight end. So we have 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.199 two of the best players at their positions. We have 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.040 a solid low end RB one and DeVonta Freeman. And 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:34.800 the reason I worry about him is, look, he's been 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:38.000 trending downwards for three straight years now. His usage with 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.840 Steve Sarkisian was questionable. Last year he was under forty receptions. 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.439 This is a PPR league, and you have the concussions 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.160 on top of all that. So I feel like we 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.160 have all the warning signs right there in front of 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:50.880 us or DeVonta Freeman, yet we're still still taking him 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.840 in the middle of the second round. Um so whatever, 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.200 he's a solid low end RB one. Uh. And then 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.520 we come back around in the fourth round and we're debating. 0:11:58.600 --> 0:11:59.959 I want to I want to actually, I want to 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:01.800 I want to stop you St'll be right there just 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:06.439 for a second. Because one name who has obviously risen 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:08.800 from where we started this a while ago. I go 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:10.760 back to our Todd Who's the next Todd Gurley show? 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.319 It was Christian McCaffrey. Right, like Christian McCaffrey's preseason has 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:18.199 made him has made my first round pick. Essentially, he 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.400 went to three in this draft. But he's close to 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.480 that swing now. He's closer to the swing. And I 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.199 was talking to my friends on Saturday night, and you know, 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.800 normal home league draft, and you're saying, all the running 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.640 backs go and get pushed up, and and because of that, 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.400 DeAndre Hopkins, O'Dell Beckham, these guys are falling. People are 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.840 drafting pretty consistently that I've seen, maybe not in our draft. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.720 Christian McCaffrey in a PPR or half PPR over Dalvin 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.600 Cook now, and that was not something that I had 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.400 previously seen. And there he's much closer to Dalvin Cook. 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.480 It seems like that he wants to devote Freeman. I 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.000 have them back to back, and I was really taking 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:54.079 Freeman over McCaffrey the whole way. That's not the case anymore. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.640 And now in those half point PPR and the PPR 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.800 I'm closing in on pushing him right past Cook as well. 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:02.640 I don't know where I am right now on that, 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.480 but it's very close. It is very close. And I 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.520 could see people painting the picture for McCaffrey over Dalvin Cook, 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.760 because if you're buying this North Turner has always had 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.000 a workhorse running back UM theory pretty much, then you 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.679 think that McCaffrey is gonna be the guy. Personally, I 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.120 still feel like, yes, they haven't you see to Anderson 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.240 all that much in the preseason. He'll still get some 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.640 work throughout games. But I think there's concerns for both still. 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:27.679 Dalvin Cook coming off the A c L. We know 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.320 how much I like him, but both offensive lines are 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.600 questionable right now, dealing with injuries even more so the Panthers. 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:37.120 Now that can help the reception total for McCaffrey, but 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.880 I worry about UM his efficiency a little bit more, 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.079 and I mentioned I generally don't worry about efficiency with 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.120 workhorse running backs. I just don't know that is Christian 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:52.439 McCaffrey really gonna get us two carries this year. I 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.120 don't know that that's happening. I don't know that I'm 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.960 buying that yet he'll maybe he's at two hundred now 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.559 two hundred with you know, sixty to seventy receptions, and 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.600 we get that we get close to the two seventy 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.680 five touch mark. But Dalvin Cook, when you know, when 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.599 we went over the early round running backs and I 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.400 painted the picture of how much this Vikings team ran 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.040 the football last year, it was twenty eight carries a 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.520 game with Latavius Murray and Jerick McKinnon, and then another 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.760 five receptions per game. We're talking about over thirty touches 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:22.000 per game between those two running backs. So even if 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.760 you're worried about Latavius Murray being there, I think Dalvin 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.560 Cook is still gonna be a lot for eighteen and 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.080 twenty touches per game. Uh. And overall, I just think 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.360 I like the Vikings offense a little bit more. I 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.520 think I think they're a little bit more balanced. I 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.800 like the defense more than the Panthers. They could be 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.720 playing with more leads. I think it is very close, 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.920 but I still have Dalvin Cook rankedead of you know, 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.120 it's interesting because you mentioned Ottavius Murray and how they 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.440 split carries with Jerry mckinn. He split carries with Jered 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.720 McKinnon last year. Um, And that's part of the reason 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.960 people are are cooling just a bit on Dalvin Cook 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.120 because Latavius Murray is going to have a role. They 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.000 have kind of said that, and he's gonna have this 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.760 role potentially as a goal lineback. They've also pointed out 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.080 to the Vikings offensive line troubles where they've had some 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:02.680 injuries now during the offseason. The Panthers offensive line troubles 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.360 are well documented, but they have just fed Christian McCaffrey 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:09.400 so precipitously. Um, during this preseason. People are overlooking that 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.800 and I think both of these guys are just very, 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:13.840 very close. And then it does scare me if they 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.160 do give Latavius Murray this goal line role, which we've 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.280 seen him have success with both last year and was 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.520 last year in Oakland, So you know, are they going 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:24.640 to Are we positive? And this is my question to you, Frank, 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:26.560 are we positive that Dalvin Cook is going to have 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:28.880 more touches what it's all said and done, than Christian McCaffrey. 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.240 And if the answer is no, isn't Christian caffrey the pick? 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:35.800 I am positive of that? Okay? Me? Me personally, Okay, 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.240 I think I think Dalvin Cook is in that two 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.320 forty fifty Carrie range and then it gives I think 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.280 he gives you another forty to fifty receptions on top 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.480 of that, maybe even more than fifty. Again, we saw 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.280 how much they use McKinnon and even Latavias Murray in 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.440 the past game last year, So I still think fifty 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:54.040 receptions is doable for Dalvin Cook. Maybe early on they've 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.280 mentioned they're gonna use Latavia's Murray, but as the season 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.160 goes along, I think they're gonna lean on Dalvin Cook 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.680 a lot. And you brought up LaTavia. It's Murray taking 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:05.760 goal one touches away from Dalvin Cook. Am Newton Gregg like, 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.040 we can't overlook that's McCaffrey didn't get a single goal 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.280 line carry last year. Now he has converted some in 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:14.160 the preseason, but maybe C J. Anderson gets a few. 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:16.280 I'm not gonna say that he takes it fun. Maybe 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:17.800 he takes a few, and then you have to battle 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.320 with Cam Newton there on the goal line as well. 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.240 So I think two of those things. Playing against Christian McCaffrey, 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.560 I think the touch on upside is better for Dalvin Cook. 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.960 I think the overall yardage upside and touch upside is 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.280 more so for Dalvin Cook. I will say the receptions 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.120 is clearly in favor of McCaffrey. That all right, So 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.240 it's it's getting closer certainly to where it was just 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.840 a month ago at this time. Those are from my 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.360 early first round ish takeaways. Nothing else really surprised me. 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.320 I guess Stefon Diggs is climbing a bit, and we 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.000 saw that in both drafts that we and we he 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.160 went at the he went of the for us, he 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:52.560 went in the last second last pick of the second 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.040 round because you took him right in the in the 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.080 cart and draft that we had one spot before I 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.000 was gonna take him. And it looks like Stefon Diggs 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.800 is now going right after a J. Green in that 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.160 wide receiver's here. From what I'm saying, Yeah, I would 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:05.240 say that's fair to say. And it's an update on 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.159 where Royce Freeman is going. He's solidly cemented in that 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.720 mid third round. He went three six in his DFC draft. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.320 We'll talk more about our draft, the trends that we're seeing. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.320 All the drafts we took place this weekend and We 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.160 certainly want your calls four four eight, four three six 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:24.040 eight seven nine from the NFL to the NBA.

There you go. 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.720 All right. So back in the draft, we're doing the 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:51.560 g S t We're just looking at that and we're 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.639 looking at trends more than anything else. I'd say, Um, 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.280 the Stefon Diggs thing really stood out to me. Um 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:03.080 in the third round as nothing really surprised life. It's 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.320 Gerald's dropping a bit more than I expected. Then he 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.760 had Josh Gordon go early in the fourth. Now Josh 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:13.680 Gordon returns to practice almost immediately injures his hamstring. What 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.320 do you make of Josh Gordon right now? I am 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.040 not pulling him up to the fourth yet. I think 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:22.880 it's tough because you have to react to the draft, 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.120 and obviously wide receivers are going earlier in this draft 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.600 because it's three wide receivers, it's PPR. You have a 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.119 flex play as well, it's not super flex, so a 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:32.680 lot of people are gonna be flexing wide receivers. So 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:34.880
