Speaker 1: let's talk about Brandon Marshall because I know that you

44
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: talked to my good pal Jay Glazer, who's an NFL

45
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: Network contributor, and of course on Fox Sports about Marshall,

46
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: and Jay had some really glowing words for b Marshall. Yeah.

47
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: Waits way to change the topic there, feb Wait, I

48
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: have had that working with you guys. Now. I got

49
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: to talk to Jay Glazer when I filled in on

50
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio last week, and and you see some

51
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: reports in NFL dot com now about Brandon Marshall and

52
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: how he's the big star of Bears training camp. Alston

53
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: Jeffrey has looked good. He's got the inside track to

54
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: be the number two receivers there so which makes him

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: more draftable in late rounds in UH in some leagues.

56
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: But Marshall looks like he could be one of those

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: one year wonders where he's back. He's always had issues

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: with his quarterbacks, but now he's back with Jake Cutler,

59
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: who he enjoyed the best success of his career with

60
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: for one season. I'm very confident he can stand upright

61
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: and be the beast that he had been previously in

62
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: his career. Marshall for me now is I think he's

63
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: gonna be a top five Fantasy wide out this year.

64
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: He's a guy that that in my league me drafting,

65
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: he's off the board by the end of the second round,

66
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: beginning of the third round because people are gonna see

67
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: this kind of kind of rapport that he's got, and

68
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have that kind of season. He's

69
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: gonna have that kind of monster season. For Let me

70
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: give you some numbers, because you know I love the numbers.

71
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall in two thousand and seven and two thousand

72
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: and eight was targeted three fifty one times, had two

73
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: hundred six catches ninty yards in those two years. Jay

74
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: Cutler was his quarterback and Jeremy Bates was the quarterbacks

75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: and or wide receivers coach in Denver. Marshall, of course,

76
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: now remember the Chicago Bears whose quarterback is Jay Cutler

77
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: and Bates is the quarterbacks coach. So pretty good stuff there,

78
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: and some statistics that I think fantasy owners need to

79
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: wrap their brain around. Now, our boy Rob Tuesday just

80
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: sent me a A O L I am really fun

81

Speaker 1: he's gonna be You think he's gonna go? I think

92
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: he's a lock first round pick in a ten team league. No?

93
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: Do I think he's a locked first round pick in

94
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: a twelve team league? I leaned closer to yes. Is

95
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: he going to be off the board in the first

96
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: eighteen pick so Jason Smith can't take him at nineteen? Yes? Alright,

97
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: not even a question about it. Now, let's go to

98
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: the phones. You guys. I don't want to have some

99
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: fun with you. No, I think of the two of us,

100
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: you my friend need to be in the white padded

101
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: room in the street jacket as a keeper. Question Mark,

102
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: what's going on? Welcome to NFL Fantasy Live, and uh,

103
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: can you please straighten out Jason Smith here? No problem.

104
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: So I got a question. I'm in a twelve team

105
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: keeper league. We keep three guys two quarterback league. Um,

106
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: the keepers that I'm looking at, I got Tom Brady,

107
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson or DeMarco Murray. Um, and my

108
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: first ticks probably gonna be Chris Johnson. Okay, so how

109
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: many of these players can you keep? I can keep three?

110
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: I got Brady, Calvin Johnson and Andrew Johnson and DeMarco Murray.

111
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: Is my four guys those right? And you said you're

112
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: going to be taking who in the redraft I'm gonna get,

113
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: uh Chris Johnson. Oh, so you're getting c J two K.

114
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: So that's gonna leave you. So you set a quarterback

115
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: with Brady, you would have Calvin and Andre Johnson at

116
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I mean I liked him Arco Murray a lot,

117
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: but based on the fact that boy, that's tough. That's

118
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: a tough one. Because we like to see is it

119
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: a PPR league nor no PPR league? Do we give

120
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson one more year? Smith or I'm ready. I'm

121
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: ready to cut bade On Johnson as an elite receiver

122
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 1: because you can get you can have Brady Megatron, Andre Johnson,

123
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: and then Chris Johnson. That's pretty good. It's a lot

124
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: of Johns. I love DeMarcus, that's a lot of you

125
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: know what, man's the thing. I'm not gonna take a

126
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: guy and I'm gonna just so I can have a

127
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: funny name and say, look, I got Johnson, got john

128
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: I think this year you're gonna see Andre Johnson take

129
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: a dive back and become Next year he's maybe a

130
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: wide receiver too. He's on the wrong side of thirty.

131
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: He's injured. They've committed to run the football number one.

132
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: I just don't see suddenly Andre Johnson becoming a great

133
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: fantasy Why I don't like he was in the past. Again,

134
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: we've seen his best. We've seen his best. Have we

135
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: seen de Marco Murray's best? No, we have not. He's

136
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: a guy on the way up. Andre Johnson at best

137
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: is staying where he's at, potentially on the way down.

138
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: So there you go. Mark Jason Smith says, keep Andrea. Actually,

139
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, keep de Marco Murray. Dave In Rhode Island.

149
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: seriously have to wonder if if if Jason is just

150
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: being heavily medicated or there is zero chance, zero chance

151

154
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: he's not. He's not a mid second round guy right now.

155
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's late first, early second.

156
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: He's a mid second second. At worst, he's well, well,

157
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: are we talking ten team league or twelve team league? Well,

158
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: ten team league, he's a mid second round both. Jason,

159
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: You're good at what you do because you inspire the

160
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: couple like me to call because I almost ran off

161
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: the road. I mean, I um, I don't see anyway

162
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: Chris fifth rank running back on most people's boards. I

163
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: just don't unless you just throw things against the wall

164
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: to see what sticks. I don't see how you can

165
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: conclude that he would even remotely be there. I pick

166
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: number nineteen. Play this out, okay, play this Play this

167
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: out with me now, because you're you're talking about drafting

168
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: now when I'm talking about when most people are drafting,

169
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be towards the end of this month,

170
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: after the third preseason week, when most people are gonna

171
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: do their draft. Think about guys like Darren McFadden, who's

172
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: gonna who's going to for three weeks at least show

173
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: he's healthy. Think about DeMarco Murray who could have a

174
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: really big preseason move up. Think about a guy like

175
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: Trent Richardson who could have a big preseason and move up.

176
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: All these guys will move up ahead of Chris Johnson

177
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: because the fantasy owner is gonna think, boy, look at

178
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: these guys. They're great. They're moving up. Chris Johnson's coming

179
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: off a bed here. I don't know actually has has

180
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: had two down years in a row a little bit.

181
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: I don't know Chris Johnson has a better chance to

182
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: be in there at nineteen just because of how things

183
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: are gonna play out during this preseason. Look, if Matt

184
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: Forte suddenly starts getting all the carries and Michael Bush

185
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: gets none, then guess what, Matt Forte is moving up

186
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: back into the first part of the second round. So

187
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: these guys are going and the chance and when m

188
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: J D signs, he's gonna move up ahead of Chris Johns.

189
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: People are gonna say, well, I'll take the former rushing champion,

190
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: then Chris Johnson. All these guys will move up. See

191
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: I'm like Butch Cassidy and butching the Sundance kid, I

192
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: got vision and the rest of the world's wearing bifocals.

193
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: That's what's going on right now. Smith. I think you're

194
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: absolutely possive. I don't think anything I just said could happen. No, Well,

195
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: is there a Is there a chance? I know? And

196
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: that's why I know Chris Johnson is not gonna be

197
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: there at nineteen overall? Is there is there a handful

198
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: of leagues out there that Chris Johnson could last until

199
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: the second round. Yeah, there's a handful of leagues out

200
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: there where no one's gonna draft Tom Brady in the

201
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: first run. Maybe they're all Jets fans. I have no idea,

202
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: but in the majority of fantasy leagues this year redrafts,

203
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson will not be on the board at number

204
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: nineteen overall, and Reggie Bush will not be drafted or

205
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: should not be drafted in the second or third round. Dave,

206
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. Let's go only done with this, Fabia.

207
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 1: I'm nearly done with you on Mike refused to see

208
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: logic Mike and Cleveland. Uh, Chris Johnson available at number

209
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: nineteen overall. What are your thoughts, my friend? You know, honestly, Uh,

210
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: back here for Chris Johnson. Man, I mean he's uh,

211
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: he's a hot commodity and uh and a lot of

212
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: dependancy circles that I'm talking to. Um, so yeah, I'm

213
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: saying no way, man, I'm saying he's gone by the

214
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, before the second round. I would guarantee he's

215
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: gone before the second round. I would guarantee A people

216
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: are going to call and say the same thing. You're

217
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: all pod people from the body snatch. What's your question.

218
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: All right, this is what I got. Um, I'm in

219
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: a twelve team keeper league PPR. When keep up the

220
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: three guys with no penalty for drafting, my obvious keepers

221
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: are gonna end up being Calvin Johnson and Ray Royce.

222
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: And now I got to the side between Adrian Peterson

223
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: and Met Staffords. Oh wow. Well, and to me also

224
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: sec maybe a factor. I might have the opportunity potentially

225
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: to get like a Michael Vick and or a Kneeli

226
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: Manning with my second pick, I'm drafting eleventh and a

227
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: snake draft. I look, if if you're talking between Stafford

228
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: and Adrian Peterson, he's another guy. Adrian Peterson. We've seen

229
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: the best of him, likely in the start of the

230
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: season on the pup list, and you don't know how

231
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to bounce back. He's his game

232
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: is big in those violent, violent rushing style. He has

233
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: a lot of cuts. You don't know how the knee

234
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: is gonna respond to that. Also, the Vikings are going

235
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: to try to lessen his load a little bit when

236
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: he does come back to keep him healthy. Matt Stafford

237
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: became an elite fantasy player last year. He was your

238
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: breakout guy last year FABS and now he's at worst

239
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: the number five fantasy quarterbacks. So I think if you're

240
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: talking about a choice between Adrian Peterson and Matt Stafford,

241
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford clearly is the guy proved you could stay healthy.

242
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: It's the same team coming back this year, great offensive

243
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: system there, Maybe the running backs get healthy easy. Matt

244
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: Stafford over Adrian Peterson. Yeah, I would agree with otunity

245
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: with a possible Eli and Michael Vick one of my

246
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: first two picks. You know what, I Stafford, I think

247
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: it is he's certainly better I think in fantasy than

248
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: Eli man and Eli Manning is very good, but he

249
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: hasn't been great throughout his career. Stafford is young, He's

250
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: got Kelvin Johnson there. I think a lot of it

251
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: depends on sort of what's going to be available in

252
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: the redraft. So if you think you can get Michael

253
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: Vick guaranteed you're gonna get Michael Vick in the redraft,

254
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: then I would think maybe twice about keeping Adrian Peterson

255
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: because this year you're probably going to see an off

256
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: year because of the a c L surgery so so

257
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: soon after uh the end of campaign, But you should

258
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: still get two good years from him. I would say,

259
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: at maybe not great spectacular, and then he hits thirty

260
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: and then sort of hits the cliff. It depends on

261
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: the chance, like, is it a great chance you could

262
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: get Michael Vick or is it just a well, you know,

263
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: he could be out there I could get That's you

264
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: know what kind of that. That's exactly what you have

265
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: to think about. Yeah, because I think that I think

266
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: Vic has a big bounce back a year two. This year,

267
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: Adam in d C has a PPR question. Adam, Welcome

268
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: to NFL Fantasy Live. What's going on, my friend? So

269
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: I am struggling with my second tick overall half point

270
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: pr note keeper and it's shucked out. Ray Rice and

271
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rock just staring me in the space, and I

272
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: just don't know what to do and where to go

273
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: keep depending on where the road for help me out?

274
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: When do I take a quarterback? Who should it be?

275
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: If I go with right, Well, let's put it this way.

276
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: This year is gonna be different than most in that

277
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: the first round and what you you in the first

278
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: round is almost gonna entirely dictate what you do over

279
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: the next few rounds. So if you get Aaron Rodgers

280
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: in the first round, as Jason Smith hopes too because

281
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: he loves Aaron Rodgers. I love Aaron Rodgers too. If

282
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: you get Rodgers in the first round, you're not gonna

283
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: be even looking at a quarterback until late So the

284
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: second round, third round, fourth round, fifth round, all running

285
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: backs and wide receivers. I wouldn't even worry about a

286
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: tight end unless Gronkowski slides to the end of the

287
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: second round of Graham slides into the second round. If

288
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: you get an elite running back in the first round,

289
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: say or Ray Rice l The Shawn McCoy and Areyan Foster,

290
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: well then you can play with things a little bit.

291
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: Look and see what the draft flow, uh is? Are

292
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: people grabbing quarterbacks like crazy as Tony Romeo going off

293
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: the board and like the second or third round. Are

294
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: people overvaluing the position too much? Then you know what,

295
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: let people do it. Let them do it. And then

296
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: when round five or six comes over and Phil Rivers

297
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: is there, take him. Or if Rivers goes in the

298
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: round in round four or five and you can't get him,

299
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: wait a little bit more. I love Ryan Matt Ryan

300
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: this year. I think he could be fantastic and the

301
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: number one fantasy quarterback. I think Ben Roethlisberger can be

302
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: very good as the number one fantasy quarterback. Not elite,

303
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: not elite, not Aaron Rodgers, not Drew Brees, but very

304
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: good for where you're gonna draft these guys. So again,

305
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: the first round, you get a quarterback, you wait on

306
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: that position until the middle of the late rounds to

307
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: take a backup. You focus on running backs and wide

308
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: receivers from round two to five. Maybe get a tight

309
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: end in there if it's one of the two league guys.

310
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: If you take a running back in round one, play

311
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: what happens in your draft flow. If people are waiting

312
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: on quarterbacks, you know what, maybe you can snag someone terrific,

313
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: like a Stafford at the beginning of the second round,

314
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: like a Newton in the beginning of the second round.

315
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: But if people are going crazy on that position, wait,

316
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: there's going to be value there. Yeah. That that's the thing.

317
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: And that's one thing it's become a little bit harder

318
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: to do with people doing online draft, something I always

319
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: like to do previously. You know, when it's a big

320
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: running back dominated league, I like to think, Okay, I'm

321
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: gonna take all my running backs, wide receivers, and get

322
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: a quarterback late. I would always make a mark, and

323
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: I would write down all the teams in the league

324
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: and next on my computer, and when someone took a quarterback,

325
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: I would just put a check mark next week if

326
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: I had time to write down the quarterback's name they took,

327
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: just so I know that after the midway point of

328
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: the third round, I'm like, okay, eleven out of the

329
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: teams have a quarterback now, so no one's taken a

330
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: quarterback for at least four or some so I know

331
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm safe not having to worry about taking a quarterbacks

332
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: another four or five rounds. Then when I start seeing guys,

333
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: a couple of guys will take their second quarterbacks, then

334
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: I'll go get my first quarterback, and then maybe I'll

335
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: come back with my second quarterback right away, depending on it.

336
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: But try to do that if you can, so you

337
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: know everybody that's already taken a quarterback, because you know

338
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: then then no one's doing it now. If you're still

339
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: in the third and fourth round and only six teams

340
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: have taken quarterbacks, well then you know there's gonna be

341
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coming off the board the next three four rounds,

342
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: So if you want a guy, you might have to

343
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: jump up and grab him. So that that's that situation there.

Speaker 1: send it to us. Matt sends a Facebook question that says,

349
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: if you're drafting twelve in a twelve team PPR league,

350
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: what do you suggest with the twelve and thirteen picks?

351
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: So he's picking last of the twelve ten PPR league,

352
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: what do you suggest with the twelve and thirteen picks?

353
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: Twelve teen PPR and basically got the last picks, got

354
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: the last pick of the first round of the first

355
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: pick of the second round. Immediately, I'm probably going I'm

356
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: probably going running back and wide receiver, unless again a

357
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: Stafford and Newton falls to me and I can grab

358
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: them at the beginning of the second round, So it

359
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: would be any to me. It would probably be a

360
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: running back in a wide receiver. I'm thinking an either

361
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: order who cares, Ryan Matthews, Calvin Johnson. I'm thinking that

362
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of where you're going to be. I think

363
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews might even be gone at that point, and

364
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson might even be gone at that point too,

365
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: So I think you're looking more at Jason Chris Johnson

366
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: or Larry Fitzgerald. Uh, maybe maybe even an M J.

367
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: D J. D Well. He will definitely be there. Dylan

368
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: Milner wants to what about a Wes Welker in a

369
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: PPR West Welker at you get like a Ryan Matthews

370
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: and West Welker. I don't know that I want to

371
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: take Welker twelve or thirteen. I like, I like welcome,

372
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, but you know, if you're the last pick

373
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: in the in the league, if you get twelve, last

374
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: and the first, first and the second, he's not gonna

375
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: be there by the time I think I could get

376
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: I can get I can get Larry Fitzgerald. I'd rather

377
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: have Larry Fitzgerald there. I really would rather have and Welcer.

378
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. Just keep this in mind. He'll probably catch

379
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: a hundred balls this year, which he's done every year

380
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: since he's spent with New England. Outside of the a

381
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: c L season, He's not throwing to Larry Fitzgerald. Yeah,

382
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald is gonna get a couple of the deep

383
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: balls a couple of times. I'll tell you something he

384
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: might have, like seventy catches. Uh. Larry Fitzgerald, no matter

385
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: who's throwing in the football, always produces good numbers. It

386
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: seems like last year if you look at the numbers.

387
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: He played in sixteen games last season, right, Uh. Eight

388
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: of those games Kevin Cobb led the team in past attempts,

389
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald average eighty two yards and scored twice. And the

390
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 1: other games where John Skelton led the team in past attempts,

391
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald average ninety four yards and scored six touchdowns. It

392
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who the quarterback is. I'd rather have John

393
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: Skelton if I'm a Larry Fitzgerald owner. Clearly from those numbers.

394
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: But I just to me, fitzherds guy who's gonna catch

395
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,239
Speaker 1: eighty nine balls and he's gonna score more touchdowns than

396
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: West Welker, just based on the fact that Brandon Lloyd's

397
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: there this year, and that is going to be a

398
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna really put a little bit of a

399
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: chink into what were I know, but you're looking at

400
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: the past. Hey, if he drops down to a hundred,

401
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: he's oh no, wait, he's still gonna be really, he's

402
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: still that's in an offense where they had Damn Branch

403
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: and Chad Johnson Rota Cinco, where ever the hell's name was.

404
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: I's best year was three catches. Yeah, but he's also

405
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: gonna put up hundred yards and he's gonna put up

406
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: somewhere between eight and ten touchdown. No, I get it.

407
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: But Welker's it's still gonna have a thousand yards receiving

408
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: and and uh, the PPR League is what I'm saying, right,

409
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: I know, I think, I think. I think Welker in

410
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: the second round in the PPR League makes total sense.

411
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: I just don't know to over thirteenth overall, I don't

412
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: know that I'm going there. NFL Fantasy Live here on

Speaker 1: You're a frustrated cat. I remember that. I serif we

428
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: have to wonder if if if Jason is just being

429
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: heavily medicated or zero chance? Zero chance. The Russia playing

430

Speaker 1: You know, here's the thing I get made. You know

432
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: what they made? Don't all geniuses get made fun of

433
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: with their ideas in the in the beginning, that guy's

439
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: you've been having a big disagreement today, like we had

440
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: the Reggie Bush disagreement last week on the round he

441
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: was gonna be drafted. Chris Johnson. I think he's a

442
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: bounced back guy. I think he's gonna wind up being

443
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: the number one overall running back when he comes to

444
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: Fantasy points this year. I think that that kind of

445
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: season is in store for him. And we debated on

446
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: his draft position and I said, you know what, mid

447
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: the late second round, the possibility exists that Chris Johnson

448
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: could be there. And Michael Fabiano says, the possibility might exist,

449
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna date Kate Upton, but it's probably not

450
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: gonna have no possibility of that. There's no I I am.

451
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: I am very confidence saying it stronger for Chris Johnson.

452
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: But now let's let's because we're gonna hear from me

453

Speaker 1: check all the guys from NFL Fantasy Live, and we

459
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: did a ten team, two round mock draft. Now we're

460
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: gonna tell you where everybody went, where everybody was slotted.

461
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: Answer some questions here, and I'll tell you why, just why.

462
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson. The possibility exists he could be there at

463
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: number nineteen. Let's just say overall eighteen nineteen. Overall first

464
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: round went like this, Arian Foster Well, Shawn McCoy, Aaron Rodgers,

465
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: Ray Rice cam Newton. That's the top five right there,

466
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, Tom Brady could have been either one Drew Brees,

467
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: but Dave Damaschick went with Cam Newton number five. So Foster, McCoy, Rogers, Ray, Rice,

468
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: cam Newton. The rest of the first round goes Tom Brady,

469
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Matt Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Chris Johnson. Alright, so

470
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: not bad, I think a little early but for Chris Johnson.

471
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: But if you're drafting back to back and you want

472
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson, take him there at number ten because he's

473
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: not gonna be there later on. Now, round two is

474
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: where things get interesting. The draft of ten spot went

475
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson. Then it went Larry Fitzgerald, Ryan Matthews, m

476
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: J D Jimmy Graham, Rob Gronkowski. So we had two

477
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: tight ends come off the board here at fourteen and fifteen.

478
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: Right then you went sixteen through twenty Darren McFadden, Matt Forte,

479
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: Trent Richardson, Roddy White, Andre Johnson. All right, so there's

480
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: your two round mock draft. We'll go in in groups

481
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: of five here until and and and see what stands

482
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: out here. So the first five picks, as we said, Foster, McCoy, Rogers, Rice,

483
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, little early for me for Cam Newton, and five,

484
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: I'd rather go with a more proven commodity like Tom Brown,

485
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: Brady or Drew Brees. Newton is one of those guys, FABS.

486
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: If he's there the end of the first round, I

487
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: need a quarterback, I'll take him because I don't want

488
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: to lose him just because of that potential what he

489
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: did last year. But I think five is too early

490
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: for Cam Newton. No, I completely agree with you. Uh.

491
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: If you look back at the history of the National

492
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: Football League and the quarterbacks who rushed for double digit

493
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns in a single season, every single one of them

494
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: saw a very significant decrease the next year, and the

495
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: Panthers have Mike Tilbert. So temper your expectations. I always

496
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: say that for fantasy owners, temper your expectations. He had

497
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 1: fourteen last year, I'd say he has eight this year,

498
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: and that's a very good season, all right. So you

499
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: get to six through ten, it goes Brady, Breeze, Stafford,

500
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson, Chris Johnson again pretty much according to plan.

501
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: You see how the end of that first round goes.

502
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: You could really split hairs between Brady and Breeze. Some

503
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: people are gonna take Brady, some people are gonna take Breeze.

504
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: There's nowhere to go really wrong there. But now you

505
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: see Matt Stafford and that season he had last year

506
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: FABS and and he's become that other elite level quarterback.

507
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 1: Those top five. We see the top five change from

508
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: year to year, but now Stafford is firmly entrenched in there.

509
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: Do you see him moving up even past any of

510
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: those other guys or is he coming off the board

511
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: after Breeze, Brady, and Rogers. Stafford's Stafford's four on my

512
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: list at quarterback. So I think the top the top

513
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: three guys you know it's Rogers number one, and it's

514
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: either Brady or Breeze at two or three. Correct. I

515
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: don't think there's any discussion about that. I think I'd

516
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: rather I know, I'd rather have Stafford than Cam Newton

517
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: because I think Cam's rushing totals are gonna drop this year,

518
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: especially the touchdowns, whereas I think Stafford could drop a

519
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: little bit. You can't go in and expect him to

520
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: throw for five thousand yards and forty touchdowns again, but

521
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: Candy go for hundred yards and somewhere in the mid

522
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: thirties and TVs absolutely so. And he's also got Calvin

523
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: Johnson the X factor there. Um. I think Stafford's four,

524
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: Camp's five. Both guys coming off the board somewhere in

525
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: the late first round. Damnage. I took Cam Newton at

526
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: number five. I just think that's too soon. All right,

527
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: Now we get through eleven through fifteen. Started the second

528
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: round that went like this, Larry Fitzgerald, Ryan Matthews, m

529
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: J D, Jimmy Graham, Rob Gronkowski. You expect Matthews to

530
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: go somewhere around that nine through twelve slot. Larry Fitzgerald

531
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: as well. Matthews could go sooner too. He could Yeah,

532
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: because he's that running back after Foster, McCoy and Rice

533
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: that you say, Okay, he's the guy I'm gonna go

534
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: all in on because he's he has that breakout potential

535
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: to But then you look at m j D who

536
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,199
Speaker 1: lasted till the thirteenth pick, and this tells you how

537
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: nervous people are about you right away, because we're still

538
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: in early August. There's still so so much time there,

539
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: but everybody here stuff about m j D. And suddenly

540
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: now he's this is the defending rushing champion. You expect

541
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bounce from him this year.

542
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: He's not gonna have quite the year he had last year.

543
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: But he's already in the early part of the second round.

544
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: What's that You know you're gonna see him go down

545
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: If you like m j D and you think this

546
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: is gonna happen for him, and he's gonna come and

547
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna get him as a as a value pick.

548
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: Eventually he'll he'll slide down towards the end of the

549
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: second round. If he's not in CAMPI the third week,

550
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 1: he's he could be a third round caveat um. Yes,

551
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: I agree, with you. But people also thought they were

552
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: getting a bargain last year when Chris Johnson fell to

553
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: them at that same area in the second round, and

554
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: that turned out to be an absolute disaster. So anyway

555
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: you slice it, Maurice Jones, Drew is a risk reward pick.

556
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: You were either gonna get burned by it or you're

557
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: gonna look like a genius. He's got it for me

558
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: to draft him, He's got to come into camp in

559
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: the next week or two. He's got to come into

560
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: camp where he can play three games and have a

561
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: lot of training camp. Because it's gonna get to a

562
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: point where I'm not gonna say I'm gonna set a

563
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: drop dead date, but if he's not in by a

564
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: certain time in August, I have to take him and

565
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: make him undraftable because I'm not gonna gamble on him.

566
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna gamble early on and hope that he's

567
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: he becomes that guy when I don't know if he

568
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: is or not, so that that's a big thing for him.

569
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: J d. You saw the tight ends come off the

570
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: board at fourteen and fifteen Graham and Gronkowski. That's gonna happen.

571
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: Whether you want to take tight ends in the second round.

572
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: Whether you want to take one of these guys in

573
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: the second round, both of them are gonna come off

574
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: the board in the second round, so you'd have to

575
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: love him and take him, or realize, all right, I'm

576
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: not to get him anywhere else, I'll get another tight

577
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: end later on. Tight End position is pretty deep. I mean,

578
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get Graham Gronkowski production fabs from from

579
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: anybody else, but you can still get pretty good production

580
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: down the road. They're still seven or eight other guys

581
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: out there that are gonna be absolutely you get Fred Davis,

582
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: I think in the eighth, ninth, or tenth round. Honestly,

583
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: I think Jason Witten couldn't fall into the six or

584
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: seventh round in a lot of leagues, and two years

585
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: ago he was the top scoring tight end and Fantasy

586
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: Football Antonio Gates risk reward pick right. But all reports

587
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: out of San Diego is that he looks great. He

588
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: seems like he's over the foot problems that have plagued

589
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: him over the last couple of years. If you get

590
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 1: him in the late fifth, early sixth, that could turn

591
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: into a bargain too, So don't get caught up in

592
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: that tight end run which is inevitably gonna happen in

593
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: the second round with Gronkowski and Graham in some order.

594
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: Don't go crazy and think I've got to get Gates,

595
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: now I've got to get Aaron hern end Is. Now

596
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: hold your horses weight on that position, because I can

597
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: guarantee you you need to put this as part of

598
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: your draft strategy. Weight on a tight end if you

599
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: don't get one of the two league guys until at

600
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: least round five, round six, and you can even wait

601
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 1: into round eight or round nine. I'm telling you right now,

602
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano here Series two ten x m

603
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: maybe seven from the NFL Network and NFL dot Com.

604
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: As we break down our first two rounds, Harrison is

605
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: calling you. The third member of this team who was

606
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: on vacation right now, knows when the draft is on,

607
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: and he's calling you. I'm gonna text. He knows we're

608
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: on the air. He knows we're on the air. Harrison

609
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: is just I love him, but he's uh, he's just

610
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: basically that sometimes. All right, let's get to the final

611
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: five picks of the second round. As we take a

612
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: look at our our two round mock draft done yesterday. Uh,

613
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: last five picks of the round went this way. Darren McFadden,

614
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: Matt Forte, Trent Richardson, Roddy White, Andre Johnson. A lot

615
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: of question marks there, Yeah, and a question marks there.

616
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: Mary kay Cabot from the Cleveland Plane Dealer just tweeted

617
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: out that Richardson's dealing with some soreness in his surgically

618
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: repaired knee and might not play in the preseason opener.

619
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that you should throw up the red

620
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: flag and say Richardson avoid in, but we should monitor

621
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: that because he's gonna see a big workload and hopefully

622
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 1: that knee is uh sort of just a little bit

623
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: sore and a little rest will cure what ails him. Yeah,

624
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: And I guess this shows you where you can see

625
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: where's the sure things stop in fantasy this year and

626
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: they go from Gronkowski to McFadden. All right, That's where

627
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: it was in this draft. Right around fifteen is where

628
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: you say, Okay, you know what, the sure things are

629
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: all gone, and now I have to go take some

630
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: guys and have to take chances because you're taking a

631
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: chance taking Darren McFadden there, You know what I'd rather

632
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: take Darren McFadden at sixteen or de Marco Murray. I'd

633
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: rather take to Marco Murray, but de Marco Murray comes

634
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: with risk. To Matt Forte. Love Matt Forte if this

635
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: if he didn't get hurt last year and and he

636
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: was the guy in the in the Bear's backfield, he's

637
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: a first round pick. But now the presence of Michael Bush,

638
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: he's a risk. Trent Richardson is a rookie. Roddy White

639
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: you think is gonna be good again because he's been

640
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,959
Speaker 1: good every single year, But Julio Jones is getting more

641
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: and more responsibility the Falcons offense. Andre Johnson, you took

642
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: him with the last pick of the second round, and

643
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: he could be someone that this year falls off the

644
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: cliff and becomes a wide receiver. Two next risk reward

645
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: is that limit. There's a lot of guys out there.

646
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: I've never seen a season in fantasy football where you

647
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: had this many risks in the first like couple of rounds.

648
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: And and again, I love Ryan Matthews this year. I

649
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have a great breakout season, but you

650
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: have to consider him at least somewhat of a risk.

651
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: Jason because He was good last year, but he wasn't

652
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: first round good, and you're gonna have to grab him

653
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: in the first round this season. Is he gonna be

654
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: worth that price tag? Adrian Peterson, Darren McFadden, Matt Forte,

655
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. Is Cam Newton going

656
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: to be the same as he was last year? Probably not?

657
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: Seventy Fantasy points two years in a row. Is Matt

658
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: Stafford gonna be the same? A lot of question marks.

659
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: Don't ever think that anything is guaranteed outside of Arian Foster.

660
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: I think is guaranteed. Ray Rice is guaranteed. I think

661
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: Lashan McCoy is guaranteed. I think the top three quarterbacks

662
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: aranteed with Brady, with Breeze and with Aaron Rodgers. I

663
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: think Calvin Johnson is guaranteed unless the Madden curse bites

664
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: him in the in the Key Star, even Rob Gronkowski,

665
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: is he guaranteed? Jason touchdown. We talk about talk about

666
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: less Welker losing some value because of Brandon Lloyd. Gronkowski

667
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: doesn't alude value because of Brandon Lloyd. He's also gonna

668
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: lose value because number one, he's not gonna have the

669
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: year he had last year. Like Can Newton is not

670
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: gonna run for fourteen touchdowns. Gronkowski is not gonna have

671
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: that kind of season. Okay, So but now you also

672
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: throw in the mix here. He really became the number

673
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: one guy there. When Hernandez got hurt Week three, week four,

674
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: he was even and her Nandez was out of the

675
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: line of about five or six weeks, and Gronkowski became

676
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: the guy. Even when her Nandez came back, he became

677
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: the guy. Let me, but now other teams are gonna

678
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: start game planning for the Patriots, They're gonna game plan

679
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: for Gronkowski, so his numbers are gonna take a bit

680
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: of a dip because of all of this. So so

681
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question saying what you just said,

682
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: and I agree with you. Teams are not gonna let

683
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: Gronkowski beat them as often as they did last year.

684
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: Is it completely out of the realm of possibility and

685
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: Jason Smith's crazy world where Chris Johnson is still available

686
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: to the nineteen overall? Are alright that Aaron Hernandez scores

687
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: more Fantasy points in Ropper and Kowski this year? I

688
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: could see that easily. They like, That's what I'm saying

689
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: you can take it. You can get a tight end later.

690
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: You never get the third guy off the board of

691
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: tight ends. Her Nanda's will be the third guy off.

692
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: I think he comes off the board ahead of Jason Witten.

693
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: Ahead of Jason Witten. I think Hernandeth is at the board. Yeah. No,

694
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: I agree with you too. I agree with you too.

695
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: And that's another funny thing. How many how many years

696
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: have you seen two tight ends ranked in the top

697
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: five in the same year in fantasy football? Never? No, never,

698
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: it's never happened that. We've never done that. But that's

699
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick now because teams are saying, look at this crazy.

700
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: All they're doing is signing tight ends and playing tight ends,

701
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: and that teams are saying, hey, wait a minute, if, uh,

702
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: if Belichick is signed in tight ends, we should probably

703
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: go out and get a bunch of them. So now

704
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: you're seeing this, we're gonna be in the age of

705
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: the tight end. Now. Like I said, there's seven or

706
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,239
Speaker 1: eight guys out there, more tight ends that you can

707
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: get with good production, and no one's taking more than

708
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: one tight end. So you know that if you have

709
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: a list of say ten guys that you want, and

710
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: if they're coming off the board. As long as you

711
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: know you're going to get your one guy, you're okay,

712
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: don't go quick. And people are copycatting the Colts Duyne

713
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: Allen and Kobe Flinner. They're talking about running a lot

714
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: of two tight end sets. All right, let's go to

715
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: one call before we have to go to the break. Here,

716
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: Jason and Mike in Virginia has a keeper question. Mike,

717
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Fantasy Live. Hi, guys, Hi, I'm in

718
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: a trunk team standard scoring or keepers, and I've got

719
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: pree O god Rice, Calvin Johnson, and for my fourth

720
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if I should keep you Michael Finley. We're

721
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: throwing back and just take the third round pick. Oh so,

722
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: certainly throw Finley back. I think I think he's clearly

723
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: has upside. He was really inconsistent last year. You like

724
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: the eight touchdowns that he scored, but he was so

725
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: inconsistent he's not worth a third round pick. Okay, I

726
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: guess my the in my scoring system would be that

727
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: we start to tight end. Oh okay, well all right,

728
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: that's different, but still for a third but still we

729
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 1: talk about value for tight ends. You can get somebody

730
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: better for the rest of your team in the third

731
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: round and get a tight end later are you Are

732
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: you required to start too or do you have the

733
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: option to start to You're required to start to. Okay,

734
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: So that position is going to be a little bit

735
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: more heavily valued than in other leagues, where, for example,

736
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: because I don't play in any of these league, so

737
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: I clearly am not an expert in this. You you

738
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: know no more about this than I do. What sort

739
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: of tight ends are coming off the board in the

740
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: second and third rounds of your draft? All right? Now?

741
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: I would I would think that the top five are

742
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: going to be gone. The top five will be gone

743
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: in the third round, so you'll have Gronkowski gone. So

744
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: so Finly, if you consider him a top five, I

745
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: think he's right outside of my top five. He's right

746
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: in that mix. Hell, you think he'll be gone in

747
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: round three? Right? I was thinking about parting like Hernon Davis,

748
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 1: and then with some lower rounds like Jered Cook. Right,

749
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph is another guy who's starting to fly under

750
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,439
Speaker 1: the radar, been been very good in camp. I would

751
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: still release Finley because if you can still get that

752
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: level of value in the third round, maybe you're gonna

753
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: do better than Finley. Maybe you can get a Vernon Davis,

754
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: for example. So I think I would release Finley back

755
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: into the pool of available players for a third round pick.

756
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: You got it, Yeah, it's you're talking about a third

757
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: round pick. You're talking fantasy football. There's so many different

758
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: leagues like that. Guy is more of an expert in

759
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: where a tight end is gonna get drafted in his

760
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: league than we are. We don't play in leagues where

761
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: you're required to start two tight ends. But I can

762
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: tell you this, based on what he said, I think

763
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: Finley in the third round is still someone i'd let

764
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: go back into the into the free agent pool, because

765
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: he's saying that they are going to be players of

766
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: equal similar value with that position still on the board,

767
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: and maybe he gets lucky and get somebody who's a

768
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: little bit better. Jason Smith, Michael Fabiano here NFL Fantasy

788
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: all day we're talking about Chris Johnson. I think he's

789
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: a big bounce back guy. My bold prediction for this

790
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: year is he winds up being the number one running

791
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: back in fantasy football, and I think there's a distinct

792
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: possibility that depending how things go in the preseason, with

793
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 1: other running backs doing well, Chris Johnson coming off a

794
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: bad season will be there around the eighteenth or nineteenth

795
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: pick for you, and suddenly you and everybody else's life.

796
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: It's like I said, well I would take ben Ta

797
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: ahead of Aryan Foster. You guys are nuts. You guys

798
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: aren't seeing how the draft board is gonna go, how

799
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: the room is gonna be, how the next two or

800
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: three weeks is gonna play out. Fabs, You don't see.

801
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: You don't have the vision that there's some guys in

802
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: white coats coming through the door, Dylan, Can you let

803
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: them in and let them take Jason over to the

804
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: padded room downstairs. You know, you know, you know what

805
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 1: if if But you loved Chris Johnson somewhere, so you

806
00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: think he's going to be the number one over our

807
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: running back and still think he's gonna be available with

808
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: one pick left in the second round. I don't I

809
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: don't think anybody else's I don't don't know how many

810
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: people agree with me on this. I'm okay with where

811
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm at on Chris Johnson, where I believe on them.

812
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: Now that being said, if I'm picking tenth and eleven

813
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: in in the first round and all the other guys

814
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: are gone, you know, everybody else is gone that I like.

815
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: Am I gonna take Chris Johnson there? Yeah? Sure, Am

816
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: I gonna take him at number two? No, because I'll

817
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: take Arian Fast, And I'll take Aaron Rodgers at number

818
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: two because you know, I mean, I take quarterbacks over

819
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: running backs. I'll take Aaron Rodgers number two and say, Okay,

820
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: I'll wait because the possibility exists that he could be

821
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: there for me at eighteen or nineteen. The other guys

822
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: aren't gonna be, but they might be. And look, you

823
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: don't know how how the next couple of weeks are

824
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: gonna are gonna unfold. If de Marco Murray, Trent Richardson, McFadden,

825
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: these guys have good preseasons, something, they're gonna shoot up,

826
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be taken ahead of Chris Johnson. The

827
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: bottom line. People can think that Chris Johnson is gonna

828
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: be a bounce back guy all they want, like I do.

829
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: But when it comes to it, if these guys have

830
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: great preseasons, they're gonna rise up other people's draft boards

831
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 1: and they'll be taken earlier in the second round than normal.

832
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: That's just how the world is. Seeing I know how

833
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: the world works. You need me next to you at

834
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: all times. If I if I was next to you

835
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: at all times, you'd have been I'd have you married

836
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: with five kids, living in a mansion and doing fantasy football.

837
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: I like the mansion and fantasy football thing, but I

838
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: definitely don't like the married and five kids. No, thank you.

839
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: You don't like me. You know what. You don't want

840
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: to be married with five kids. No, you wouldn't marry

841
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: Kate Upton and have five kids. Well maybe, but that's

842
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: not gonna happen, just like Chris Johnson is not gonna

843
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,959
Speaker 1: be available with the bat thing. People were real pick wow,

844
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 1: you that the same kind of thing. All right, that's fine,

845
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, hey, Kate Upton, we'll agree to disagree. We

846
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: are we absolutely and we'll have some fun with this

847
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: throughout the year. And uh, you'll owe me a couple

848
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: more lunches. But on the line now we have NFL

852
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: Put my phone away. I was trying to God, man,

853
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: this is fantasy football. This is huge. I got caught

854
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: up in uh kind of in the bucks practice and

855
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 1: uh yeah, but on my apologies, what's going on? That's okay,

856
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: that's okay. Really the reason I wanted to talk to you,

857
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: and we've been talking about Chris Johnson this whole show,

858
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: is that you were at Titans camp last week and

859
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 1: I remember seeing you talk about Chris Johnson, Uh, and

860
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: how he's looked. Why don't you give the fantasy fans

861
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: out there sort of the inside scoop on how he

862
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: looked in practice and what are your expectations for c

863
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,919
Speaker 1: J two K this season. Well, I mean I totally

864
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: looked great. Um. You know, I was kind of blown

865
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: away by how he looked because he watched last year

866
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: and you get I mean, you know it's funny he

867
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: actually has house in yards last year. I forgot that,

868
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: but he did. Um, and you know, you just get

869
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: used to seeing him a certain way, you know, kind

870
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 1: of a little slow, kind of stutter stepping in the

871
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: hole and you know, totally decent, you know, slightly blow

872
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: average back. Um, you forget how amazing he was. You

873
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: you forget that he gained two dozen yards and you know,

874
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: one of the fastest guys I've ever seen, and then

875
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: I'm watching him in practice and it's like I'm watching

876
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: a different guy. I mean, and it's it's funny because

877
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't even that he was going full speed.

878
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: It was that he was just faster than everyone else

879
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: at have speed. You know, that was really the thing. Um.

880
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: And then she talked with him afterwards to just about

881
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: how much it takes to get ready for an NFL season. Um,

882
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: he said it takes the entire camp. So last year

883
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: he you know, in a contract disputy, showed up late

884
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: and he just never felt like himself. You know. He

885
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: tried to kind of say it and he was like,

886
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 1: you know what, He's like, it's not true. I just

887
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: he's a guy never felt right. And you know he

888
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: heard his team a lot and kind of killed a

889
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: bunch of fantasy teams too. Yeah. Hey, uh, as far

890
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: as uh some other news there with the Titans go,

891
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: we heard Jake Locker has the inside track to the

892
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: number one job here. Anyway he loses it, Um, it

893
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: would I think it would be difficult. Um. You know, Look,

894
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: it's a it's an interesting sort of multifaceted process because

895
00:42:55,880 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: on one hand, Um, the Titans want their organism sation

896
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: to go in the right direction. You know, as one

897
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,760
Speaker 1: team source told me, you know, we'd like the starter

898
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: to be Jake, And that's the thing. You'd like Locker too.

899
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: Two progress enough and show you enough where you know

900
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: you you install them as a starter and he's your

901
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: guy for ten years. Um. So so that's what they

902
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: would like. The problem is if he doesn't give you

903
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: the best chance to win now, then you're really doing

904
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: everyone in your service. So I think if it's even,

905
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: then you go with Locker. He wins the competition and

906
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: you go with him obviously. Um, but you know, if

907
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: Hassleback is clearly clearly the best choice, then put Locker

908
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: on the bench for another year and you see what happens.

909
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: I mean, wouldn't be the first highly touted guy to

910
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: sit and wait. Um, but I know it's not what

911
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: the organization wants. And what did you see, if anything,

912
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: from Kenny Britt out on the field, and what are

913
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: you hearing about a potential suspension? Uh? Let me let

914
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: me go back to one thing I was gonna say

915
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: about Locker just quickly because I kind of forgot it.

916
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: And for since it's a fantasy show. I know this

917
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: is important. Um, Hassleback would be a very intriguing pick

918
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: for someone because Locker runs around a lot and his

919
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: athletic and gets hit and he's going to get injured.

920
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,959
Speaker 1: I mean that's basically the assumption that the team is making,

921
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: which is why I don't think they're going to trade him.

922
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: So fantasy wise, Hassleback would be a great backup because

923
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: Locker is gonna get kicked anyway. UM. Now you mentioned

924
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 1: Kenny britt Stress on workout. He looks like a truck.

925
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's built. Um, he looks fast. He's

926
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised with how his recovery from both of these

927
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: surgeries just going. Um, I think they're actually being cautious

928
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: now motally just for the sake of being cautious, because um,

929
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: it's been so eye opening how quickly he's gotten ready. UM.

930
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: You know there is the talk of a suspension. UM,

931
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: I think he you know, it's definitely possible that he

932
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: gets one. UM, but you know, this team drafted kind

933
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: of right. I think as a team they're in position

934
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 1: to withstand the game or two games or three games.

935
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: The problem is is that he's up the rest like

936
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: eight times um and the be on a different scale

937
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: from everyone else. NFL dot Coms and Rabbitport is with

938
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: us Jason Smith Michael Fabiano from NFL Network and NFL

939
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 1: dot Com here on Series two ten x M eight seven. Now, Ian,

940
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: you're in Bucks camp now, and one of the conversations

941
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: Fabs and I had earlier in this hour is about

942
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: the value of Vincent Jackson. Potentially he's a he's a

943
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: he's a risk reward type player because with a new

944
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: start here in Tampa Bay, he could potentially be close

945
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: to the player he was in San Diego. What have

946
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: you seen out of him so far? I'm actually in

947
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs camp now, was in Bucks yesterday. I'm watching the

948
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: Cardinals in Chiefs to a joint practice. But you know,

949
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 1: the Jackson looks fantastic. I mean, I'm you know, I

950
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: don't really know how else I can say it except

951
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: it's absolutely everything you would think he was. I mean,

952
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 1: he you know, my favorite thing to see during practice

953
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: was it was a go one situation. I think they

954
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 1: were on the fifteen um her red zone situation there

955
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,879
Speaker 1: on the fifteen and you know, Josh Freeman drops back

956
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: and sees Vincent Jackson kind of lost it up to

957
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: him and Jackson and a cornerback collide midair and it looks,

958
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: you know, it's a clear jump ball, and of course

959
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson comes down with the ball and kind of

960
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: chops laughing back to the huddle, and then the cornerback

961
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 1: limps to the sidelines because he just got hit by

962
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: a two town man. Vision Jackson is the beast, he

963
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: really does. And I think and I think he's and

964
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: I just quickly, guys, and I think he's he's having

965
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: a good effect on Mike Williams, who destroyed my fantasy

966
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: team last year. William says he's in the best shape

967
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: of his life and he's starting to understand how to

968
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: prepare a late round guy and won't get a bad

969
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: value pick. And in just so you know, if you

970
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 1: don't know already, that we are going to be setting

971
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: up fantasy football leagues for all the NFL dot Com

972
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: and NFL Network talent. And I'm gonna than that, my friend,

973
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: you will be in there with some of the other reporters.

974
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna do. You know I'm gonna do.

975
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have my brother co GM with me. So

976
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: he tells me what to do, and you could do that. Bell.

977
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: If you think Warren Sapp's running his own team or

978
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: Marshall Fox running his own team, it's not happening. Those

979
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: guys have a Jim Rich eyes and actually runs his

980
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 1: own team. But a lot of guys have the GM

981
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: that doesn't me. Yeah, but hey man, thank you so

982
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: much for coming along, and uh, we'll talk to you soon,

983
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: all right, son's good. Sorry for hiding for you guys. Okay, thanks,

984
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: they're going to be NFL dot com. Thanks a bunch.

985
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: But you know, I like we gotta get to t

986
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: o here at a second. But I like Josh Freeman

987
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: as potential, you know, by low guy, good sleeper. Get

988
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: him in this as my second quarterback and maybe he

989
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: turns into something this year. He's the guy in the

990
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: Bucks team that I'm I'm I'm the most intrigued about

991
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 1: two draft as Josh free Well, my for me, it's

992
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: Doug Martin. Uh. He's been drawing reviews like that of

993
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: Ray Rice and Maurice Jones Drew. You know, he's just

994
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: smallish back, but he's just three down back who can

995
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 1: pick up blitz is and he's just gonna stay on

996
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: the field and his values rising. Although if you look

997
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: at buccaneers dot com, Lagart Blunt is listened as the

998
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 1: number one running back on the that chart. That's gonna change.

999
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: So to me, if we're talking Buccaneers, we're talking Doug Martin,

1000
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: and I still think Vincent Jackson's risky. I really do,

1001
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: all right, real quick? Now, is t O is now

1002
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: officially you see hawk We talked about this last hour

1003
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: on the show. Uh does he have the most fantasy

1004
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: value out of guys like t O and Chad Johnson

1005
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 1: and Randy Moss. Yes, I had ranked them TiO, Randy Moss,

1006
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: and then Chad Johnson, and I wouldn't want any one

1007
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,439
Speaker 1: of them as more than a four or five. See,

1008
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: I would go with Moss out of the group, just

1009
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: because I can't ever see myself starting t O or

1010
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: Chad Johnson on my teeth. Whereas if Randy Moss maybe

1011
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: catches lightning in a bottle decides he wants to play,

1012
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 1: could I see myself starting him at some point? Yeah?

1013
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: He Again, he's a guy I don't really I'm not

1014
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: interested in. But if I have to have one of

1015
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: them out of those three, these aging whiteouts. I'd take

1016
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: him late. I'd take really, I'm talking like four teens

1017
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: round in the draft. And you know what that Pantera

1018
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,879
Speaker 1: signals signals the end of the show. My friends, thanks
