00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on Home of the Black and

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back to the Drive on

3
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Dale Lali here with Matt Williamson and Matt Earlier today

4
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: we talked a lot about the Julio Jones trade and

5
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: the day Evan Silva you sent me this is updated

6
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: his top one fifty. I would assume he did that

7
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: in part because of the Julio Jones trade. I would

8
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: imagine there are some adjustments here. I was just looking

9
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: here real quickly. There are adjustments on here because of

10
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: that trade. Let's start there, if you don't mind, Okay,

11
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: how do you think, just purely fantasy, how does this

12
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: trade affect current Falcons and Titans? Well, I think you

13
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: know when you when you look at the Falcons, I

14
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: think you bump Calvin Ridley up. I agree, and I

15
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: think you bump a J. Brown down. Yeah, And my

16
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: thoughts are the Falcons. Ridley gets a boost, but I'm

17
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: a little less confident that he can handle all the

18
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: attention that I was with A J. Brown Right, He's

19
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: going to demand some attention. I think Pitts gets a boost.

20
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: I think Ryan gets a knockdown a little. I don't

21
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: know that he moved. I don't know. I moved because

22
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: the first Julio Jones was he was never a big

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: touchdown maker, and they're still gonna have a high attempt

24
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: like Pitts. May actually help that because Pitts that was

25
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: one thing when you look at Pitts production, he's great

26
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: in the red zone. It's the one knock on Julio.

27
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: It's he's not a great go up and get it guy.

28
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: You know you would think he is, but he's a

29
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: lot of his touchdowns are catching run the longer ones. Right,

30
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: So I think it hurts A j. Brown a little.

31
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: I think it helps Derrick Henry, it helps Tannehill. I

32
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: don't think it hurts or helps Julio though, No, I don't.

33
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: I think he stays pretty much to say he is.

34
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: Might give Mike Davis a little boost. Maybe he catches

35
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: ten more passes or something. But it's not or shattering. No.

36
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: You know, Brown and Ridley were kind of in similar situations.

37
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: They have to be the man. They're young, can they

38
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: demand you know, they're gonna demand lots of double teams.

39
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: And now Brown gets less targets, but he gets less coverage. Yeah, interesing.

40
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: So his number one player, and this is unchanged. In fact,

41
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: his his top nine guys are completely unchanged. So his

42
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: top nine are McCaffrey, Cook, Kamara, Barkley, Henry Ezekiel, Elliott.

43
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: It's sad he's pretty high on Elliott, which I get,

44
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: but that's a leap of faith, that faith. Tyree Kill

45
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: at seven, DeAndre Hopkins at eight, Stefon Digs at nine,

46
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: and now Calvin Ridley jumps up to wide receiver four

47
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: at number ten. Okay, I don't have a clear cut

48
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: number one receiver. I was thinking it might be a J.

49
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: Brown before this trade, but I'm gonna put yeah, not

50
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: behind those guys. And I still kind of like Digs.

51
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: There is that number one guy. I think he's the

52
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: most easy to rely on of that he's he's really

53
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: the only I mean, he's the clear cut number one guy.

54
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: There's really no really worked out well. Yeah, and they

55
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: throw the football, that's what they do. And he's still

56
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: twenty eight years old, so he's in his prime. I

57
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: just think he's the safest. Yeah he doesn't, you know,

58
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: Tyree Hills great, but there are many miles to feed there.

59
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: If the question is pick one wide receiver this year,

60
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: that you're most comfortable will be a top five finisher,

61
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: which is really all you want from earlier. Right, Yeah,

62
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: you don't. He does have to be number one. I

63
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: think I take digs too. Yeah, he's safe, you know.

64
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: Uh so at eleven, Travis Kelsey, it's tight end one

65
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: is now eleven. He was at twelve before. I don't

66
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: know why. These guys kind of moved a little bit.

67
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: But Jonathan Taylor moves down to twelve. He like everybody else,

68
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: I really respecting a little bit. Yeah, you stare at list,

69
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: you start changing them. You do a lot of these

70
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: best ball drafts. You know. That's when your foot goes

71
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: to the fire and you actually have to pick for

72
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: your own team. You say, I really do like this

73
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: guy better than this guy as you swap him around,

74
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: and I think it's just like an NFL draft board.

75
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: Thirteen for him is Eler, that's RB eight. That's early

76
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: and I like it. Yeah. Fourteen is Nick Chubb, that's

77
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: RB nine. Cam Acres at fifteen, I'd be higher on Acres.

78
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: A J. Brown follows the wide receiver five at sixteen.

79
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: Still a tremendous talent and career and all those things.

80
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: I just think he gets fewered his his saying. He says,

81
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: Julio pick up caps his target ceiling a bit, but

82
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: he'll benefit from some friendlier coverage. Yeah, and he was.

83
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: He was not a huge target monster last YEAROD because

84
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: you mentioned a couple of segments. Ago didn't throw the

85
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: ball the ball that much and Johnny was gonna catch

86
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: some and Corey Davison nice year or so he does

87
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: a lot with a little Uh seventeen Aaron Jones is

88
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: RB eleven. Yeah, uh eighteen, RB twelve Joe Mixon. I

89
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: think Mixon's due for a breakout year, but that I

90
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: could eat my words and he could, you know, hurt

91
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: you again. I thought that last year, but not having

92
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: g oh, there's big. Uh. Nineteen is wide receiver six

93
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, These are unchanged. Twenty is Justin Jefferson at

94
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver seven. Wide receiver eight is twenty one DK Metcalf.

95
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: Okay's see any qualms with any of that. Twenty two

96
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: is wide receiver nine Davante Adams. That has to be

97
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: an asterisk. If you know that Aaron Rodgers is coming back,

98
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: Davante Adams is wide there's still worse than like wide

99
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: receiver four, I say maybe one, maybe one. Yeah, I

100
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: mean he's kind of like the Digs argument. If you

101
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: know Rogers is happy and everything. He's the guit targets.

102
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: He's got a low see or a low floor or

103
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: a high floor, high ceiling. He's in his prime. He

104
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: was awesome last year. I thought he was the best

105
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: receiver in the league fantasy aside last year. But if

106
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: you're picking today, Jordan Love would really hurt his stock. Yeah,

107
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: te RB Naja Harris, I think he's That's so if

108
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: you're doing a snake draft here, you come out of

109
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: your draft with Dalvin Cook at two and Naja Harris

110
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: right really happy. And if we were on Chargers Radio

111
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: or Eagles Radio, I'd be saying the same thing. I

112
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: think by the time all of you do your drafts,

113
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a first round pick consensus. And I

114
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: think all these guys that do this list start conservatively,

115
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: and he did it with Clyde Edwards Hilaire last year,

116
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: and you start bumping them up, and you start bumping

117
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: them up, and you do more drafts going he's still

118
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: sitting there the fifte pick. I'm gonna take him. I

119
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: saw something on a Nationals a national website today and

120
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 1: wait till you see him the preseason. People think clips

121
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: of the guy. I didn't recognize the writer's name, but

122
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: I opened the story. He said the top five running

123
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: back battles training camp battles, and they had Naja Harris

124
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: listed on there for the Steelers in the training camp

125
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: battle for the starting job. I'm here to tell you

126
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: right now, folks, that will not happen. No chance. He

127
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: is the starting running back the Steelers open mini camp

128
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: next week. When they open mini camp, Naja Harris is

129
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: going to line up with the first team offense and

130
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 1: take all the snaps with the first team offense. Write

131
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: it down, put it in stone. That's a done deal.

132
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: It's a done deal. I mean, they're not even gonna

133
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: have to announce it like that's just And the only

134
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: way he isn't by far the number one back on

135
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: this team is if he fumbles like crazy or simply

136
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: can't perform in protection. And he's not. He's never been

137
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: a fumbler. The chances of those things are slim. I mean,

138
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: that's the only thing that could keep him from just

139
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: blowing everybody's doors off. Michael Thomas real quick I'm doing

140
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: a dynasty startup draft, so this is not a rookie draft.

141
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: This is just totally picking dudes. I had the fifth

142
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: pick overall, so the first four were McCaffrey, Barkley, Cook,

143
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: and I forget I took at five, and everybody's shocked,

144
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: Like I mean, I took him over every player in

145
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: the league to start my team with, he said, McCaffrey, Cook, Kamara,

146
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: Barkley was Henry the next guy in dynastay. Henry's like

147
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: a second round pick because he didn't catch football. Any

148
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: boy's old, you know. The top four were McCaffrey, Barkley, Cook,

149
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, so they were the fourth. We took him

150
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: ahead of Kamara. I took him well ahead of a

151
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: Kamara I was in. My next pick would have been

152
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: Acres if I mean ages a lot to do with it.

153
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: And that's so much faith I have in him now

154
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: and for the future. Here's the thing, and we just

155
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: talked in a previous segment about Bill Barnwell again crushing

156
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers for taking Nasea Harris. If he's the third

157
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: team best running back in the league this year, most productive,

158
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: third team most productive running back in the league this

159
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: year they made the right pick. Yeah, yeah, because last

160
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: year they're running backs were dead last production, right, if

161
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: you could get to even if that that running back

162
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: room can get the middle of the road from where

163
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: they were they were thirty second, that's as big a

164
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: jump as just about any where else were they going

165
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: to take a player at a position picking where they

166
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: were at? Who was going to take them from doing

167
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: that to make that big of a jump. They're not

168
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: getting pennies sold, They're not getting Kyle Pits, you know,

169
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: right right exactly that that's well a good way of

170
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: looking at it, like there was no way to get

171
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: better in one area. One offensive lineman who, by the way,

172
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: another offensive lineman was not selected until the second round,

173
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: was not going to make them a markedly better offensive

174
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: line Leah Miikenberg or Dicker Sam or whoever it is,

175
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: because it's not like they ignored the position either. But anyway,

176
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: we've talked about this all. Okay, So Michael Thomas, I'm

177
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: a believer in him. I don't want a quarterback. Uh

178
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: twenty five is Antonio Gibson. He's fighting a turf toe though.

179
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: That's I'm a believer in him, you know, I don't

180
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 1: like hearing one of those one of those type of

181
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: injuries that like lingers all the time is lingering in July,

182
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: like and that's not good. I want to see him

183
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: in the preseason, but I like him. I like that.

184
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: Offense to RB fifteen is Chris Carson. I'm not taking

185
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm not taking Chris Carson. It's no. I think he's

186
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: He's a guy that is really due to start breaking down.

187
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: I think the way he runs runs he's not super

188
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: talent to begin with. He's an average receiver at best.

189
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: I bet a couple of these running backs you mentioned

190
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: after him would be I would prefer to Carson. Sixteen

191
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: is Clyde Edwards Hilaire. I'm sorry, RB sixteen seven. If

192
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: it's a PPR, I want Edward Hilaire well over Carson. Yeah.

193
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: I think he's of a bye now. The only problem

194
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: with him is again, he's not gonna get any goal

195
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: line touches. So what's his what's his what's his touchdown?

196
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: Ceiling six eight. I think it helps though, that he

197
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: might be their third leading receiver. Yeah, you guys like

198
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins are gone. He's in the second year, so

199
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: that might make up for it, but I think he's

200
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: an RB two. RB seventeen is up next is J K. Dobbins.

201
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: He was my second round pick and that startup. I

202
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: know he's not gonna probably catch a ton of passes.

203
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: I just think he's really good and they run the

204
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: ball really really well. Uh. I would take him much

205
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: higher than that is RB eight team Miles Sanders. That's

206
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: about as low as you're gonna see. Miles. Yeah. I

207
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: mean he's a high touch guy. I mean I think

208
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: he's a second rounder in Fantasy this year. Uh, thirties

209
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: MARII Cooper. That's why receiver eleven. I'd never end up

210
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: with him. There's a lot of receivers in that neighborhood.

211
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: I just trust a little bit more. He's a good player.

212
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: I think I'd rather see lamb is here. How about

213
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: this one thirty one tight endto is Darren Waller. I

214
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: heard Evan talking about this, and his logic is just

215
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Kittle's production isn't that much better than Wallers, but his

216
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: walls big games are big games, big game he had.

217
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: He makes note of this. He has five plus catches

218
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: and twenty three of his LASS thirty two games. He's

219
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: their number one receiver and it's not even close. It's

220
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: not close. It's not close. They scheme him up. Well,

221
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: Carl loves him and really he's a big receiver. Anyways,

222
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: that he's pretty awesome. Uh Thirty two Quick Kittles right

223
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: behind him, so he kind of Yeah, Kittles better football player,

224
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: but he doesn't. The injury stuff makes you crazy. Thirty

225
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: three RB nineteen David Montgomery. He's good. Yeah, he's all right.

226
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: Nobody makes a big fuss when you put the sticker

227
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: on the board. But he's fine. Thirty four DeAndre Swift.

228
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: That is RB twenty. That's late. I think he's I've

229
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: actually heard him say this. He's afraid of Jamal Williams.

230
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: Which that's what Jamal Williams career will go down, as

231
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: is making fantasy kick owners unhappy they have nobody's don't

232
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: give it Jamal Williams anywhere, No right. He screws things

233
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: up the guy who drafts him because he doesn't play enough,

234
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: doesn't play enough to get into your lineup. But he

235
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 1: plays enough to screw the other guy. They're the better player, right,

236
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: that's what he is. Uh. Thirty five is that wide receiver?

237
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: Twelve Ceedee Lamb. Yeah, I might take two Cowboys receivers

238
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: in the top twelve. Yeah, I think got offense as

239
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 1: a chance to be really good wide receiver. Thirteen is

240
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson. Yeah, I love him. I mean I don't

241
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: know that his situation got so much better. Yeah, everyone

242
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: talks about, Wow, he's finally got a quarterback? Does he

243
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: this year? Guys still a rookie and he might not

244
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: even start and read one. Dalton didn't help the Dallas

245
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: receivers dramatically. A bunch of guys here that are up,

246
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: A bunch of guys that have moved up spots starting

247
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: with thirty seven tight in four Kyle Pitts and we

248
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: talked about it. You know, Judio leaving helps him. Yeah,

249
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I'm ready to take him over

250
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: Andrews or Hawkinson. They think I am. I mean, he's

251
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: so talented. I mean, what's his ceiling this year? Okay,

252
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: let's say he goes out and catches when we've talked

253
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: about they're gonna stink, they're just STROI I mean if

254
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: he catches seventy five passes this year, yeah, look you

255
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: gotta look at him as is the number two wide receiver. There, Yeah,

256
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: is how you look at it. I think Hawkinson might

257
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: be the number one, and Andrews might be the one

258
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: though in their respective teams. Yes, those three are tough

259
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: for me to who I would pick out of it,

260
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: But Andrews Andrews team does not throw the ball a lot.

261
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: I think Andrews is third for me, to be honest,

262
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: I'm a big Hawkinson fan. Hawkinson could be there, but

263
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: they'll be losing a lot to They'll be losing. But

264
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: Pits is so dynamic and after the catch and and

265
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: the other. The other part of the equation is, well,

266
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: he's not number one. They're gonna have to shade. Ridley's

267
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: gonna get all, you know, all the attention, and now

268
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: Pitts is gonna be running against single coverage. Who do

269
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: you line up on? It? Is a cornerback because he

270
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: dominated cornerbacks in college. There aren't many styles of players

271
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: that defenders that can handle him. Uh. Wide receiver fourteen

272
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: at thirty eight is Terry McLaurin. I'm a big McLaurin fan.

273
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: Thirty nine is wide receiver fifteen Mike Evans. Yeah, I

274
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: think those three Tampa guys hurt each other though. Uh,

275
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: sixteen is wide receiver. Sixteen is Adam Feeling. Yeah, I

276
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: mean I saw this can be wide receiver. Seventeen Tyler

277
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: Lockett might be a little rich for me. Unlock it. Uh.

278
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: Forty two is wide receiver eighteen Julio Jones. I think

279
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm taking Julio over a couple of those guys. Still.

280
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: Wide receiver nineteen is Chris Godwin. It's same thing with

281
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: the Tampa. I think a B is still really good

282
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: and no one seems to mention that forty four wide

283
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: receiver twenty is d J Moore. That would be much

284
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: higher him. More than that. We both had the good

285
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: and bads with him. That was so ugly. Lasst year

286
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: was hard. But I don't blame him. I don't blame

287
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: him though, you know. I think he's still a really

288
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: good player, and it's problem checked down. Teddy running back

289
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: one is up nine spots to forty five. That's Mike Davis.

290
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I don't think he's a bad player.

291
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: Don't forget about him. He's gonna catch. I would think

292
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: that they'll dump it to him a fair amount no competition. Yeah,

293
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: he could be my running back too, if I'm loaded

294
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: everywhere else or I'd love him to be my flex

295
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: tight end five down nine spots. The aforementioned Mark Andrews. Yea,

296
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm cool with it. I take Hawcketson over Andrews. But

297
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: we munched this a lot with Andrews. He only plays

298
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: sixties some percent of the snaps. I mean even on

299
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: a good day. He's not out there all the time.

300
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: He's always on the injury list, so you're always shaping

301
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: to see if he's gonna be ready to play or not.

302
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he's as talented as some of those

303
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: guys either, Like he doesn't blow me away with how

304
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: he wrung. I mean he's good. I don't think he's special.

305
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: We get the four receivers in a row here twenty

306
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: one through DJ Chark, Robert Woods, Cooper Cup oh Del Beckham. Yeah,

307
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm cupping. Woods are as solid as you can get.

308
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: Beckham is swinging for the fences. You might strike out,

309
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: you might blast one. Who's the first guy somebody? I

310
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: like Chark, that's pretty rich. Yeah, but I struggled with

311
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: him last year too. Yeah that was painful. Jar and like, yeah,

312
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: that was just brutal. I think both bounce back, like

313
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: their talents. I like where they're at in their career,

314
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: but man, that's a little rich. The next three, the

315
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: next three on his board at fifty one through fifty three, quarterbacks, Yeah,

316
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: he always does that. Is this Mahomes it's Lamar Jackson,

317
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray. He has Lamar one, which I get.

318
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: I think that I think he was passing numbers, but

319
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: he had he hasn't one. But it's I mean, they'll

320
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: be the person to tell you, um RB twenty two

321
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: all the way down to fifty four. We had a

322
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: nice stretch of wide receivers and tight ends and quarterbacks.

323
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: There is Josh Jacobs. The receiving thing is a problem.

324
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: It's a problem. And the Dracob showing up and people

325
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: wanting to say because they both went to Alabama and

326
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: they played together, well, Najia Harris and Josh Jacobs are similar.

327
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: Najia Harris catches the ball way better than Josh Jacob.

328
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: I thought Jacob's caught the ball well with Obama and

329
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: has not been used that way. How about this, He's

330
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: been thrown the football on third down for his career once.

331
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: It's never on the field. Once they were using Jay

332
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: they were using. You know, I don't approve of that usage,

333
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: but he's hard to like for fantasy. If he's gonna

334
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: get one third down target a year at most, put

335
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: it this, okay. So RB twenty three at fifty five,

336
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: right at the one pick after Josh Jacobs is Kareem Hunt. Yeah,

337
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: I'll think it. Josh Jacobs over cream Hunt all day

338
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: every day. I might. I might even take a mover

339
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: Mike Davis. And you know I like Davis. But Jacob

340
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: is gonna get the end zone too. Yeah. Uh fifty

341
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: six is RB twenty four Miles Gaskin, as long as

342
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: they don't trade for Gordon or somebody like that. But

343
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the ball. I mean, the most important

344
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: thing by far for fantasy running backs is volume volume.

345
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: He should volume volume, volume, and he should get volume. Uh.

346
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 1: RB twenty five at fifty seven is Travis A. T N.

347
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if he will get volume. Uh fifty

348
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: eight is tightened six t J. Hawkinson. I'd probably be higher.

349
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: I think he's closer to the Pitts Andrew's level, but

350
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: were splitting there. Uh fifty nine is Jamaar Chase. I

351
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: don't think my next tight end is is something. I

352
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: bet that's where it falls off. Yeah, and then sixty

353
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: is is our first Steelers receiver Deonte Johnson. Question for

354
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: you in redraft, I would prefer Deonte to the other two.

355
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: I had this dilemma in Dynasty. All three were available.

356
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: I took Claypool. I think that's to pick the swaying

357
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: for the fences, and I was born. I almost took Deonte.

358
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: I took Claypool over Judy and Sutton, and a couple

359
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: of those are a couple of guys I was thinking about.

360
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: But that's the neighborhood. Sixty one is QB four Josh

361
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: Allen Alan versus Dac is a conversation for me. Sixty

362
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: two RB twenty six Javonte Williams. I think he will.

363
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: You'll be really happy with that by about week eight,

364
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: maybe earlier. Here's where I also run into an issue here, Okay,

365
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: wide receiver twenty seven at sixty three is Marquis Brown.

366
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: So you now have two Ravens receivers in your top

367
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: sixty three and we've only seen and we've only seen

368
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: one Steelers receiver, right. I would much rather have the

369
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: Steelers receivers than the Ravens and one of the teams

370
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: used the first round pick on the receiver and the

371
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: other one didn't. Yeah, fantasy doesn't always translate that way,

372
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: but the way you said that certainly makes sense. People

373
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: forget Marky's Brown finished the season strong. I don't care

374
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: how strong he finished the season. And I had him

375
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: on my roster to less like ye, my receiver group

376
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: last year, DJ More and Mark Yes Brown should have

377
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: been much better than what it was, and yet in

378
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: reality they weren't. No, in the end, the number of

379
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: the stunk. He finished the season strong. I bet he

380
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: plays fewer snaps they used they did last year. Maybe

381
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: he's a little more spot duty. There's receivers I take

382
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: ahead of him, including Clay. They just don't throw the ball.

383
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: And like you're telling me, Okay, you're gonna tell me

384
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: that this team is gonna throw the ball four fifty

385
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: times and this one's gonna throw it five. Let's say

386
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: the Steelers cut it down the five t this year. Yeah,

387
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: they're going to throw it less. You still can't have

388
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: that's a hundred targets, Like that's a that's a lot.

389
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: However I think about it. Evan, he had Lamars is

390
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: number one quarterback. I mean barely. I do think they'll

391
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: throw the ball more than they have hopefully the Dobbins

392
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: here and there. But if they do that, is he

393
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: then running as much? Therefore do you keep him an?

394
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. They're a weird offense. I mean, I

395
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: just look at it. I'm looking down the line here.

396
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: I don't see Claypool and Juju Smith Schuster our thirty

397
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: four and thirty five on this list. Marquis Brown is

398
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: twenty seven. Yeah, I don't see that gap. I'm sorry.

399
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: I I'm sure there's some good receivers in between. But

400
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: I would take Claypool over Brown. I would take right now.

401
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: If we're just we're just we're picking up teams and

402
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: you say, can you have this? You can have this

403
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: guy or you can have that guy. I'm taking Claypool

404
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: in the real world and in the real world and fantasy. Yes,

405
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm taking Brown over Juju though, yeah, what the real

406
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: world is? Yeah, because physicality that matters, right, Yeah, I

407
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: think you use clearly three here though, um, where are

408
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: we at here? Uh, He's got Trey Sermon and RB seven.

409
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm not buying on that. That's a swing for the fences.

410
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson at wide receiver twenty eight. He was pretty good.

411
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: He was pretty good. He was pretty good. I mean

412
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: Matt Rule had that connection with him and actually used

413
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: him out the slot and things that the Jets didn't.

414
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: And Adam Gaze isn't exactly the best guy to maximize talent,

415
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: and Donald knows him. Yeah, RB Torobby Anderson can start

416
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: for me every week. RB twenty eight Chase Edmonds. Yeah.

417
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 1: RB twenty nine is James Robinson. This is that neighborhood

418
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: where you don't This is why you take back where

419
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: you don't want to be. You don't want to be

420
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: shopping in this. This is okay to shop for a

421
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: number three. Yeah, but you better get your your your

422
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: studs and the rob these guys from the teams that

423
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: don't have a second starter, let's do that real quick here.

424
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: So if you took Christian McCaffrey at number one, that

425
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: means you have so his twenty four pick is Michael Thomas.

426
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: So he came out of this with McCaffrey and Michael Thomas.

427
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: If you had Dalvin Cook at two, then you took

428
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: Nausea Harris Atree. That that's a really nice backfield. That's

429
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: a nice start too, um number. Pick number three is

430
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara and pick twenty two is Davante Adams. That's

431
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: a nice foundation. I'd still prefer back there. Let's say

432
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm not taking it gets your dond in because I

433
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: say it too much, but I'm not taking a receivers

434
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: in the top two rounds. But I don't make top

435
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: fifty list. You can't just have twenty four running backs

436
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: as you're talking. You could pick four se Kwon Barkley, uh,

437
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: and then pick twenty one is DK Metcalf. That's fine.

438
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: Pick five is Derrick Henry and pick twenty is Justin Jefferson.

439
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: Pick again, though, I'm taking nausea overall over those guys.

440
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: Pick six, I hate this one. Ezekiel Elliott and Keenan Allen.

441
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm not happy with that at all. I not happy

442
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: with that at all. I'm feeling pretty crappy about that.

443
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: Pick eight, with all respect Allen, that's the story for

444
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: Allen or Pick seven is Tyreek Hill. Pick eighteen is

445
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon. It's not a bad rebound from Hill. Yeah,

446
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: but boy, I would who's the back you could have

447
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: taken there? Pick eight is DeAndre Hopkins, and seventeen is

448
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones. Fine, that's similar. Uh. Pick nine is Stefun Digs.

449
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: Pick sixteen is a j. Brown. Then you're then you're

450
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: shopping in that other neighborhood at James Robinson as a starter, right. Uh.

451
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 1: The problem too is then in the third round you

452
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: have to take you have to take it back, and

453
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: you just don't want to do business that way. Pick

454
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: ten Calvin Ridley, Pick fifteen is Cam Akers. I'd be

455
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: fine that I'll take it on the opposite order. But

456
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: pick eleven is Travis Kelsey. Pick fourteen is Nick Chubb. Again,

457
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: if you take Kelsey, you have to take a back.

458
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: Pick twelve is Jonathan Taylor. Pick thirteen is Austin Ekeler.

459
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Now, think about it this way when

460
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: you're when you're thinking about this, folks, think about it

461
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: this way. So we just went through what the picks

462
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: would be if what you're starting off going off of

463
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 1: Evans list. Here, let's look at the running backs now

464
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: taken after twenty four. So if you took Christian McCaffrey

465
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: and passed on Michael Thomas instead to take Antonio Gibson,

466
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: you're in a lot better shape. Are you gonna be

467
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: a lot happier? I think so. I think so. Like

468
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: of all those teams, of those twelve teams you mentioned,

469
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: my favorite is cook and Nausey. My second favorite is Taylor, right,

470
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: because then then you playing with house money. Right, I'm

471
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: sure you don't have a J. Brown, But okay, you

472
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: have um Claypool and people better than him still, I mean,

473
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: like he's still a pretty good receiver. Like would you

474
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: rather have Alvin Kamara and J. K. Dobbins or would

475
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: you rather have Alvin Kamara and Davante Adams running backs?

476
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: Running backs? All day long? All day long, I keep

477
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: referencing this dynasty draft them in the middle of because

478
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm consumed with it. Right now, I've made four picks.

479
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: I've made five picks. My first three were all running backs.

480
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: That was the only thing that all the time. And

481
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: Mixing is my only old guy. I mean he's the

482
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: oldest the twenty four. I want Nausey Dobbins Mixing, and

483
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start them every week for at least two

484
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: or three years. And then I took Lamar because I

485
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: just thought there's still a ton of receivers. He keeps

486
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: my seal. He keeps my point total every week pretty high.

487
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: And then at Clay Pools my number one receiver. But

488
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Judy next round or I'm gonna get

489
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: don't give it all away. There's we were down to

490
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: the out. We were down in the forties at the

491
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: receiver position. And there's still guys who are going to

492
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: be thousand yard receivers or catch ninety passes. Davante Smith

493
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: will be their next round for him, you know, like

494
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: there's so many. I might say an extra one, but

495
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm the only one. Took three backs to start to

496
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: do that all the time. The three of my first

497
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: four picks, at the very least, we'll be backs. It

498
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: always is and the thing I love about it, and

499
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: I saw it throughout this draft, but you really see

500
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: it in redraft. If I'm the a hole that does that,

501
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: three three picks in a row, all of a sudden,

502
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: it drives my It hurts my opponent. Now where it

503
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: screwed me last year was my receiver group. I drafted

504
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson is my number one, which was fine, but

505
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: I then traded him. I can't remember for what now

506
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: because I had Shark Well the guys you mentioned more

507
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: and more in Brown. I'm thinking I'm okay here. And

508
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: I had a couple other guys on there, you know,

509
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: a couple other Yeah, you need those guys to hit.

510
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: They can't the right guy, they can't be complete and

511
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: utter busts, like because you're you're counting on your You're

512
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: counting on getting the majority of your points each week

513
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: out of those three backs, which is the way it

514
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: should work, and that's the way it did work. But

515
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: you can't take zeros or get five points out of

516
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: your receiver. And I had a terrible team last year.

517
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: In my redraft, I took Mixing late in the first round,

518
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: came around the corner, took Chub, and I forget who

519
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: my third back was. I was feeling pretty good about

520
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: it at the mid round back I liked, so I

521
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: traded Chub for Kiddle, who I got one game out of. Yeah. Well,

522
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: and that's the thing, like I had, I had Mixing

523
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: as well, and that can happen anybody. But I'm still

524
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: gonna take the exact same strategy even though I got

525
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: burned by It's gonna get the right guys, yeah, of course.

526
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: But anyways, that's gonna do it. We're looking there at

527
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: Evan Silva's top one fifty, and we got through throughout

528
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: the off season and always fun to do a little

529
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: fantasy uh fantasy focus and uh, we won't do that

530
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: every week, folks in the off season. As we get

531
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: closer to camp, will start cranking it up a little

532
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: bit more, without question, without without a doubt. But that's

533
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,000
