WEBVTT - Tank Bigsby and 11 Other Rookies 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:08.719 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio. 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:14.000 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:18.040 source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:21.439 whatever stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. Now, 0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:23.240 here's your host, Paul Jarkian. 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.560 Stupid stuff. While we would never do that, all right, Johnson. 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:31.400 Kevin Costner conversations, Yeah, should. 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:31.639 We do it again? 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.720 No, there isn't anything to say because there's not even 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:40.640 any real controversy that Kevin Costner plays himself in every role. 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:44.040 That's just that's a straight up fact. I mean, if 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.080 you took his character from I Don't pick a movie 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.360 Draft Day and put that guy in Dances with Wolves, 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:54.600 same guy, same outcome, none of the dialogue changes, nothing changes, 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:56.680 not always the same guy. 0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:00.480 Except that one where he played like the hit man, 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.120 killer guy. Even though he was like, he still was 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:04.440 Kevin Costner, just the hit man. 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:05.920 Kevin Costner. 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.920 His best movie is very old and he was young. 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:10.560 It was called No Way Out. I don't think we 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:11.160 talked about this. 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:12.000 Last time we did. 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:13.959 We did, okay, all right, so that one is good. 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:15.880 But he's still Kevin Costner in the movie. 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.360 I really didn't mean to rehash the whole Kevin Costn Yeah, alright, 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.200 because we're already touched on what we need to do. 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:26.280 Instead of rehashing, let's just hash on rookie quarterbacks and 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:27.639 rookie running backs. 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:28.320 Sounds good. 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.120 We've touched on rookies about I don't know a month ago, 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.039 but we really haven't done much deep dive. And now 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.920 here we are two weeks away from the draft. This show. 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.720 Two weeks from now, we'll be talking about the landing 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.600 spots for the players in the first round. 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:42.600 I cannot wait. 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.440 Oh, it's the best love this time of year. The 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:50.160 drafts so much fun. All right, So we'll do quarterbacks 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.280 and running backs. Now, you could do this forever and 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.680 do a million guys. I've made a tactical decision to 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.919 stop the listed five quarterbacks that I think have promised 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.720 to be relatively near term impact guys and where they 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.320 don't need like everything's got to break right for them to, 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.400 you know, for these things to work out. So I 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.680 got five quarterbacks, seven running backs. We could go much 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.240 deeper running backs, but at some point you just have 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.440 to stop somewhere. So we're doing seven running backs. 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.240 Yeah, after the big really the big one. There's really 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.440 like kind of like a big three. We'll get to it, 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.000 but there's probably like fifteen to twenty running backs. 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:26.000 It's so deep. 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.720 It's a landing spot will matter big time. It will 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.800 for short term returns, that's for sure. 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.880 And we'll be talking more landing spots stuff after the draft, obviously, 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:37.640 but can't wait to get into that, and especially for 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.680 the deeper running backs, because the right guys fall into 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.800 the right place and we're gonna have some There's gonna 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.640 be some great running backs that are that are gonna 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.160 be out there. I'm just I'm after years of having 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.880 pretty thin running back classes, just so excited at the 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.440 prospect of having like fifteen meaningful running backs to talk about. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.960 Not that all fifteen will work out, but a lot 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.200 are going to. It's gonna be great. Let's start a quarterback. 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.799 Bryce Young should be the first quarterback taken? 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.880 Should be opinion I don't know, okay, my opinion okay, 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:09.880 and the opinion of most I think it started out 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:10.880 is more like coin flip. 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.360 But I see much more of a much more of 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.480 a unison voice that Bryce Young should be the first 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.040 quarterback taken and the first player. 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.480 Can you remember, in most years it is a quarterback, 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.640 it goes first overall. But it feels like at this point, 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:25.920 two weeks out from the draft, the team has like 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:31.880 made the announcement almost already selling Jersey something Trevor and 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.280 Joe Burrow, you knew even Baker Mayfield that they know that. 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:36.280 No, you're mister. 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.800 Thought Mayfield is going to be like the third quarterback 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:40.720 off the board that year. 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.320 But I still thought they made like an announcement in advance, 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.080 or you know, a commitment to Baker. 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:46.880 I think if it was, it was like a day 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.920 in advance. I don't think it was two weeks in advance. 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:50.960 Well we're still waiting, but go on, all. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:52.119 Right, so let's talk Bryce Young. 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:52.360 Uh. 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:57.680 He is a special playmaker with uncoachable poise, you know, 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.760 playing in the the and playing it Alabama, the biggest 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:07.680 spotlight there is in college football, and he's got it, 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.880 tons of it factor. He's got a good, lively arm, 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:16.400 he's got tremendous creativity. He was super productive. Obviously, throws 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.239 a very accurate pass, he can make all the reads. 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.240 He doesn't have a cannon. And then of course the 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.279 bigger issue is his size, which comes up all the time. 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.640 But I think the comparable here is Drew Brees. He's 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.400 a low mobility He's not no mobility, by the way, 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:38.000 but he's a low mobility, very smart, smaller quarterback who's 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.640 remarkably accurate. I think his upside is to have He's 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.719 not gonna have Drew Brees' career. Drew Brees finished with 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:45.839 the most passing yards on history in the NFL. But 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.159 that's the upside, is that kind of player. Now his 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:53.719 downside is Andy Dalton, where he could be a immobile, 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:59.320 reasonably accurate, but you know, non playmaker kind of quarterback 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:00.000 like Andy Dalton. 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.680 Another good comp or what I thought was a good comparison, 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.400 or he could hit this. I won't call it a milestone, 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.480 but Russell Wilson not at all quarterback. 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.280 We'd take that absolutely. Yep, we would take Russell Wilson, 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.839 but not not twenty twenty two Wilson also had. Russell 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.800 Wilson also augmented fantasy owners with a lot of running 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.040 through the first six seven years of his career. That's 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.600 all right up, but Bryce Young is never going to 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:26.960 be that mobile, no, like Russell Wilson was, so ninety 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.200 five percent chance Bryce Young goes to Carolina or Houston 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.760 at pick one or pick two. Tiny chance one of 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.160 them surprises and takes Anthony Richardson, at which point Young 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.920 would fall to Indianapolis at pick four. Probably, but there's 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.599 there's a ninety five percent chance he goes to Carolina Houston. 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.480 I think it's Carolina and not the greatest wide receivers 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.920 to work with. After shipping DJ more Away, they brought 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:54.640 in Adam Thielen. But still I think Bryce Young is 0:05:54.720 --> 0:06:01.600 a safe fantasy quarterback. Well, I believe will be productive, 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:06.479 but probably not like you know, roster changing. You know, 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:07.840 I don't think he's so many guy that's gonna be 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.080 delivering championships. 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.320 I'm with you there. Yeah, his ceiling doesn't seem incredibly high, 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.960 but his floor pretty safe. Yeah, as long as he 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.880 doesn't buckle under all the hits he's gonna take in 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.720 that tiny frame that everyone's ragging on him for now. 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.400 He didn't help his cause at the combine when he 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.480 wore his platform sneakers. 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:31.760 One guys like zoomed in on those. That's the only 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:33.680 picture he took. He's like, look at those things. 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:35.719 All right, let's talk to ce J Stroud. 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:36.039 All right, c J. 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.360 Stroud, Yeah, out of Ohio State, could be the number 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.000 one pick as well. It's kind of right now a 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.240 toss up between at least the books have it as 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.120 a kind of toss up between Stroud and Young. Some 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.279 say Stroud has ideal size for a pro quarterback. He's 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.920 there with the height at six three, but at two fifteen, 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.599 he too could stand to pack on a few pounds. 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.920 Put up great numbers over his last two seasons at 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:00.880 Ohio State, averaging more than three hundred and twenty yards passing. 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:01.600 Touchdowns per game. 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.440 Great n Mercy is also ranked first in completions of 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:05.760 thirty plus yards. 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.320 But he was surrounded by pro level talent. Yes, he 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:10.559 was at Ohio State. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.400 Oh every you know, every aspect of the offense, offensive line, 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:15.040 wide receiver. 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.160 Not likely going to walk into a situation. You know that. 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.520 It's comparable to Ohio State in the pros. He does 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.760 have a good arm, not great. He's accurate, has good 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.720 pocket awareness, but again, his pockets aren't going to be 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.680 as clean as they were at Ohio State. 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.880 He do he didn't operate under pressure as well as 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.880 Bryce Young did either, and that's one of the that's 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.880 a frequent knock on him. And you know, as a 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.080 probable landing spot in Houston, he's gonna get some pressure. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.160 Yep, yeah, right in that same Vein not known for 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.679 his mobility really and has struggled to improvise under pressure. 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.960 Ye doesn't mean he can't improve in those areas, of course, 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:56.760 According to quote the Athletics Dane Brugler, is it Brugler 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:57.360 or Bruler? 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:58.040 Is it assignment? 0:07:58.240 --> 0:07:59.840 I think it's I think pronounce. 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.920 The G Brugler, he says quote. 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.720 His passing skills give him an encouraging floor as an 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.200 NFL starter, and his development as a creator will ultimately 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.040 determine his NFL ceiling. That kind of sums it up 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.120 right there. So from a fantasy perspective, he's not the 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.760 most exciting prospect, but in the right situation he can 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:19.720 thrive as a passer and if the legs come along, 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:21.880 he does have a bright future. And like you said, 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.520 probably not going to Carolina. It's either going to be Houston, 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.720 maybe Indy at pick four, But uh, I don't know. 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.760 Those all kind of feel like the same man. 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.280 You know, it doesn't change their fantasy autum. 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.559 Now Houston, they got another first round pick, and. 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:38.760 I think they go wide receiver, so. 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.520 Jackson Smith and Jig Bud probably the pick. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.400 So that would be the ideal spot for I think 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.120 for any of these quarterbacks really that we're going to 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.600 talk about would be Houston this year or Indian not 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.240 as much Carolina like you said. 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:53.439 But yeah, that's c J. Stroud. All right, that's c J. 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.800 Stroud. Let's go to Anthony Richardson, who I believe. Let's 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.960 talk this through and now up, I believe from a 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.640 dynasty standpoint, if you're the first quarterback who should go 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:10.320 off the board is Anthony Richardson because of the freaky 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.840 upside he gives you if it all comes together. Let's 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.680 talk through his game. He is a rare total athlete, 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.880 maybe the best total athlete ever seen at the combine 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:26.360 at the quarterback position. Gigantic arm, highly mobile at a 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.360 level you rarely get. He can throw in the run, 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:33.360 he can throw bucket passes downfield, and his game translates 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:38.120 into possible fantasy championships. He can become Josh Allen or 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.760 Jalen Hurts if his passing comes together. 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.720 And not even among quarterbacks when it comes to his 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:45.400 combine testing, like all players. 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.720 It's not the highest vertical. 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.880 And he ran a four to three forty and yeah, guys. 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.960 Total freak athlete. Now, so the upside is again it's 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.120 Josh Allen Jalen Hurts level upside if the passing come together, 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.520 which everybody knows is very raw for Anthony Richardson, or 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.559 his passing never comes together and he washes out of 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.280 the league completely. I mean this is it's the total 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.959 opposite of Bryce Young and c J. Stroud that are 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:15.120 super safe but have limited I believe limited fantasy upside. 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:22.280 Richardson is for people who have the digestive fortitude to 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:26.080 risk it all. Anthony Richardson could make sense to be 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.600 the first player taken in a dynasty draft ahead of 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:29.480 Bryce Young. 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:29.600 C J. 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.319 Stroud, and even in super flex or two quarterback leagues. 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.000 I think he's in the conversation to go first overall, 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.400 over Bjon over b Jon Robinson. Yes, actually we'll talk 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:39.880 get him. 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.880 It's Bezon not Bijon. 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:43.520 Thank you. 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:44.760 Yeah, I didn't know. I learned that. 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.920 I did not know that. Okay, now it's staying with 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.200 Anthony Richardson from for a minute. Presumably whatever team drafts 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.120 him is going to create designed runs for him, right, 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.079 I don't think you draft Anthony Richardson too, go, Well, 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.840 he's a pocket passer. Now now those days are over. 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.320 I mean, we just see what the Bills and the 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:06.000 Eagles and the Bears and the Ravens have done with 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.640 their mobile quarterbacks on designed runs. You know he's gonna 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.079 get designed runs and we're here. That's that's how you 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.720 break apart your fantasy league. Most people have got Anthony 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:19.000 Richardson going to Indy, but the next four teams are 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:23.360 also possible landing spots. Seattle thinking of the future, Detroit 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.760 thinking of the future. Last is it last Fate? No, 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.360 it's uh yeah, I think it's Las Vegas is next, 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.920 and Atlanta after that. I And I don't see him 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.040 getting past all those teams. I think that's he'll he'll 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.080 be taking. Anthony richards will go in the first eight. 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.600 And then some other teams right following them, Tennessee, Tampa Bay. 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.359 Yeah. Right. Shortly there after that, the Vikings. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.360 Are in the conversation to move up after a lot. 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.200 I don't know, I don't. I don't think they could 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.360 do it, but that'd be fun to say. 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.560 They have to move up a lot for Richardson, but 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.760 not Will Levis. 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.360 Ah No, Yeah, let's talk about it, because we've seen 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.880 him being mocked all over the first round. 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.160 Yeah, and people are actually just outright just mocking him 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.600 for reasons I really don't get. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:07.760 We'll get to that in a second. 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.640 But Levis out of Kentucky has all the physical tools 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:16.000 six four two thirty cannon arm, quick release, stands tall 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:17.480 in the pocket, can absorb hits. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.920 He's a thread on the ground. Defenses are going to. 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.600 Have to respect his rushing ability. He can probably truck 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.760 stick most defensive backs in the league. He just looks 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.120 at like that kind of player. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:28.840 He's got that kind of attitude too, totally. 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.560 And the knock on him has been his decision making 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:35.000 and accuracy. He tends to lock in on his primary read, 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.280 you know, fails to see a secondary read. 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.440 But really, how many guys are getting open for. 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:44.240 Him at Kentucky or we're getting not a football school. 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.439 So this is just so eerily. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.640 Similar to all the bashing we heard about Josh Allen 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.160 prior to the draft, and they are almost the same 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:54.160 physical specimen. 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.679 It seems like just does not have the mobility or. 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.319 I've seen some runs from Levitt. He threw it like 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:03.880 he's seventy yards at his pro day. 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.880 I know, granted they're not wearing pads, but Allen wasn't 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.240 wearing pads his pro day. 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.840 He's got he's got a cannon. But uh And by. 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.640 The way, in twenty twenty two, twenty twenty one, Levis 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.680 had a great year. I think twenty five passing touchdowns 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.360 led Kentucky with like ten rushing touchdowns. Last year, dealing 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:24.280 with injuries, Kentucky had implemented an entirely new offense Wandelle Robinson, 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.800 and multiple offensive linemen left for the Pro, so he 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.120 was playing with scrubs. Essentially, no one can name another 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.520 player from Kentucky other than Will Levis right now. So again, 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.280 I don't really get the hate. I'm not saying he's 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:38.560 gonna be great, but people just bashing him out right, 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.680 saying he's gonna be a total bust and like, yeah, 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:41.679 waste a pickoff. 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:43.600 I don't see that really. 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.040 I'm with you on the richardson having the most upside 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.520 in a super in whatever super FLEXI one quarterback rookie drafts, 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:51.959 I think I'd rather take a. 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:56.120 Chance on Levis hitting his ceiling. But than taking Stroud 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.200 or Young. They just don't cite. 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.000 From a fantasy standpoint, Yeah, they're safe, but they're not 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:01.680 as exciting. 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.840 And uh, what's the preferred landing spot for Will Lovis? 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.640 It sounds like it's unlikely he'll go in the top 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:12.760 four picks, you know, really the top top three of 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:14.640 the four. We don't expect the Cardinals to draft a 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.240 quarterback at three. But uh, basically. 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.360 All the teams you ran off except to try. 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.440 Yeah, Atlanta, Tampa Bay supposedly loves him, but yeah, Tennessee, 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.920 Uh minutes. He could be there for Minnesota at twenty three. 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:28.400 Yeah, I don't. I don't think so. 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.760 But I don't think he lasts that long either. I 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:32.080 think he goes more mid first. 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.800 But I like Levis and I think I think he 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.000 has a better chance to play his rookie year than 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:39.120 Anthony Richardson does. 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.440 I think he Richardsons like more of a project. So 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:43.360 I don't know. 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:48.280 I'm not buying the hate and redraft and best Ball 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:52.880 people are taking Richardson is like quarterback fifteen and Levis 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.880 is going like quarterback twenty eight. 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.840 Wow, in redraft, that doesn't make sense. Richardson is ma 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:05.480 touching him. People were bought into this hype. They don't understand. 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.480 I don't like, they don't know how to differentiate dynasty 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.440 and redraft. But like people are drafting Richardson way too 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.360 high when you shouldn't be drafted at all. But I 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.800 think Levis could make an impact this year and we'll 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:15.560 see long term. 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:21.480 Let's talk Hendon Hooker from Tennessee. I'm pretty down on 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.200 his prospects. I you know, I hope it works out. 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.680 But let's talk about what I like. Uh, he's poised. 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:31.600 He's got a basically like perfect body and frame for 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.480 a quarterback. Decision making is pretty good. Scholar of the game. 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:39.360 Character is through the roof. Everybody associated with Hendon Hooker 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.520 loves this kid. Arm strength is good. He can throw 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:47.440 an accurate pass. It's a lot of things that worry me. 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:52.440 First is he They've got the weird Tennessee offense that 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.160 is very non pro. It's he runs almost entirely from 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.360 the shotgun. I watched whole games and I couldn't find 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.880 plays where he was under center, and that is always 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:02.720 a red flag for me. You can't do that in 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:06.080 the NFL. Play every every play out of the shotgun. Uh. 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.160 He is a one read quarterback in college. If you watch, 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.160 you watch through his game logs. And I watched two 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.520 full games of Hendon Hooker to just really get up 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:18.080 to speed on who this who he is. Virtually every 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.840 play was a first read for him. I don't I 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.560 don't like that part. And then lastly in this specifically, 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.160 I think maybe for Dynasty League, he's twenty five years old, 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:31.960 which is a incredibly old quarterback. So yeah, Brandon Whedon 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.200 I think was the last twenty five year old quarterback 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.720 that I can remember getting over. He might have been 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:37.760 twenty seven or something. 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.640 And then before that was uh Chris wink. 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.000 Oh yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right about that. Yeah, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.120 I drafted, was it Carol Carolina did? 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:46.440 Yeah? 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:47.760 Pretty sure at least he ended up. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.920 In it and Weeden' yeah we didn't. Went to Cleveland boy. 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.840 Uh okay. So a couple elements to think about with 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.760 Hendon Hooker here. That ACL recovery is basically going to 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.200 knock him out of this year. So Redraft, I don't 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:04.520 think Hendon Hooker's even on radar. That was in late November, 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.920 I believe, yea yep, his So I think he's got 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.040 virtually no redraft value. He is a raw project who's 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:13.960 gonna need a lot of time to learn the NFL game. 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:18.760 And then in a dynasty league, then it's kind of tricky. Right, 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:20.520 So he's twenty five years old, so you're gonna get 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.320 like three or four fewer years from him than you 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:28.760 would get from other rookie quarterbacks. But does that really 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:30.560 matter because really kind of those three or four years 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:32.480 are on the back end of his career, not on 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.240 the front end. You're really gonna hold Hendon Hooker for 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:38.560 like twelve years in Dynasty. Now, you really don't know 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:39.600 anybody look him. 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.240 On three to four years ahead at most in Dynasty. 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:44.120 So you know, I think there's gonna be a temptation 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.280 to ding him in Dynasty because Hendon Hooker is twenty 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:50.119 five years old. But again, those years come off the 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.000 back end of his career, not the front end. So 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.959 to me, that doesn't To me, that doesn't really change anything. 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.600 Yeah, I should have thrown out. Will levis also kind 0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:57.880 of old. 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:00.280 He's twenty four, I believe, But being out, I'm not 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:02.800 reading too much into that or looking too much into that. 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:06.800 Hendon Hooker's long term upside is pretty high because he 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.840 can lead a downfield passing attack with his big arm, 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.560 and I could see him being a big play producer 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:17.200 if everything comes together. But his downside is like out 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.399 of the league in three years. I mean, it's it. 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:23.879 It might never come together based on Hooker's experience in 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.880 Tennessee and you know the fact that he's never done 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:28.840 anything close to an NFL style offense. 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.160 What he has going for him, I'm sure is he's 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:36.000 got fellow volunteer alumnus Peyton Manning on speed dial if 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:37.840 he ever needs a little advice, I would imagine. 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.080 I would that would be helpful. I think Peyton Manning's 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:41.200 got a lot going on right now. 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:42.639 He's got time for Hooker. 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.960 I think Hendon Hooker falls out of the first round. 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.280 I think he goes to a quarterback needy team in 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.520 the top middle of the second round, which puts him 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.280 right back into the conversation with the other teams that 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:58.399 we were talking about before, Seattle, Detroit, Vegas, Atlanta. You know, 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:00.920 I think all of those could be back in play 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:05.480 in the second round for Handon Hooker. Let's take a break, Brian, 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.399 we come back. Let's look at running backs. Rookie running 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:19.560 backs when we come back Fantasy Football Weekly.
