Oh you made 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: it through your horrible, horrible malady. God, it was so bad. 8 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: The jiggers, jiggers, that's what I had. Oh it was 9 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 1: Coatards Coatard's malady or whatever it was. That too. Then 10 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: there was the Africanized killer be Sting got that that 11 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: was bad. Oh, you never wanted on your elbow just 12 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: see you know, yeah, I see that. It's the swelling down. 13 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: That's good. I mean before but it looked you know 14 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: what they looked like at softball. In my elbow. It 15 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: was terrible, very repeatedly, repeatedly. Just yeah, and when you lanced, 16 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: it just sprays hidden. Start the podcast over. Oh my god, 17 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: it's so bad. Yes, it's still draft time. Technically it 18 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: feels like a million years ago. But now is the 19 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: time when we've got DNA leagues already drafting. Rockie Draft 20 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: already mad, and we're here with our own rookie draft, 21 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: two rounds, twenty four players, the order we would take 22 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 1: guys in, and you and I are pretty different from 23 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: the the published a d P A lot of these players, 24 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: which I think is healthy. You know, let's give people 25 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: some different viewpoints from what they're hearing traditionally about where 26 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: rookie should be going right now? Absolutely, what what places 27 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: do you look for rookie A d P S when 28 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: you when you are looking stuff up like this. Um see, 29 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: you know I have friends in the industry. I'm good 30 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: friends with the people that own football guys Rhoda Wire, 31 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: so I tend to use I tend to use those 32 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: as as some of my go to places. How about you? 33 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: I I like to look at Fantasy Pros and and 34 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: then the DLF guys Dynasty League Football. They do good 35 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,839 Speaker 1: work as well. So this is right there, wheel House, 36 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: This is absolutely it. So yeah, we were looking at, 37 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: you know, different things between the two of us, and 38 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: and we came up with guys in totally different spots 39 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 1: than a lot of the consensus we did. Of course, 40 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: you sniped me a few times. I'd like to think 41 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: I got a couple of your guys, Well, let's let's 42 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: talk through the first round. Will begin with the first 43 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: round and we'll get to the second round after the break. 44 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: I gave you the first pick. Who did you take first? Overall? 45 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: I got the odds, you got the evens. So I 46 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: took Breece Hall of the Jets, number one, consensus, number 47 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: one across the census, number one across the board. And 48 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: for me, I think he's just the most talented runner 49 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: in the draft class draft class. And I know that 50 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: you're going to make the case that Kenneth Walker is 51 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: because we've already had this argument three weeks ago. Um, 52 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: the offense in New York looks like it's just improved 53 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: immensely with the additions this offseason. And Michael Carter is 54 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: kind of more of a change of pace guy to 55 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: me than a full on first and second down runner, 56 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: and I think that's where Bruce Hall fits in. UM 57 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: with you, I wouldn't have spent the draft capital on 58 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: Bruce Hall. Also, I don't I've been burned enough collecting 59 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: lots of rookie drafts and rebuilds and stuff rookie draft picks. 60 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: I've been burned enough in the past by really focusing 61 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: on landing spot and making that be the tiebreaker the Jets. 62 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: It does look like there's you know, other mouths to 63 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: feed there, and he might not get as many touches 64 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: as maybe Walker could in Seattle. But I'm gonna just 65 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: default to the guy who I think is the best 66 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: player on the board. So I'm I'm gonna go with that. 67 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to overthink it, don't want to make 68 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: it Clyde Edwards Hilaire over a couple of other good 69 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: runners or something like that, because he ended up in 70 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: Kansas City, you know, and I think we talked ourselves 71 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: into that that year. I was very excited about the spot, 72 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: and I'm still still baffled that they haven't been able 73 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:21,799 Speaker 1: to ring more value out of Clyde Edwards Hilaire. Uh 74 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: the number two pick. Traditionally here it's been it's going 75 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: wide receiver, okay, But for me, I did not, and 76 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: normally I lean wide receiver because when you draft a 77 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: wide receiver position to you usually have like a you know, 78 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: an eight year long starter. You know you've got a 79 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: great wide receiver in a great spot. You are very 80 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: good for a long time. Most of these regular listeners 81 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: know how I I feel about do the opposite and 82 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: infesting in non running backs because the length of their 83 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: careers and everything else. But I just can't get one 84 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: wide receiver that feels like the match that I want 85 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:04,559 Speaker 1: between talent, location, quarterback, long term viability, and nobody's hitting 86 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: the sweet spot of all of those. That ven diagram 87 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: doesn't come all the way together. No, it doesn't, and 88 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: it doesn't like a Justin Jefferson or I don't know 89 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: many others recently. Well, a great example from last year 90 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. You know that's you know, it felt like 91 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, both ended up with quarterbacks who were viable 92 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: quarterback one fantasy starters in leagues, right ceedee lamb. Another example. 93 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: So I decide I'm just gonna go running back. I 94 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: thought Kenneth Walker was the best running back in this draft, 95 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: the most explosive. And I like Breese Hall just fine. 96 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be very, very good. I just 97 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: love the explosiveness that Kenneth Walker brings. And I just 98 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: don't see where Shad Penny is as any real He 99 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: can't here and apparently Seattle doesn't either because they also 100 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: Drean you know, they resigned Pennies the like. But you 101 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: know they but they spent the draft capital on Kenneth Walker. 102 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: You know, we have a long history with Shot Penny. 103 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: He's been good for one month out of his entire career. 104 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: I think Kenneth Walker is a special player, and I 105 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: think Penny will be a little more than a change 106 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: of pace back before long. Now, two things before we 107 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: move on. When you're doing dynasty rookie drafts, in my mind, 108 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: I tend to want to grab those running backs when 109 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: I feel like it's the last piece I'm adding to 110 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: my team. I want to trade up and get those 111 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: running backs and and and see if I can put 112 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: everything together. I got all my wide receivers, I got 113 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: my tight ends, I got my quarterbacks, are ready to go. 114 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: People do the opposite that most people do the opposite 115 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: there because your your window with a running back is 116 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: probably four years. That's almost an ideal scenario to get 117 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: four viable years out of a rookie running and and 118 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: like you said, your your window for a wide receiver 119 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: could be eight ten maybe, so I I think that 120 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: that's important. But the second thing is this the end 121 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: of a tier in the rookies this year, and we 122 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: should rookie running back all the rookies. I don't think so, 123 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: because there are good receivers here that have that. I 124 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: think there are good There are pretty good receivers. To me, 125 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: this is not the end of it. Tier do do 126 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: believe it is? I kind of think it is. I 127 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: think it's the first two picks. I think it's going 128 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: to be these two guys in whatever order they go. 129 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: And if if you, if I would have taken Kenneth Walker, 130 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: would you have taken Breece Hall number two? Yes? Okay, 131 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: But again because I don't think again, I don't think 132 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: the Venn diagram for all these receivers comes together. And 133 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: now we're gonna go to number three. And I'm looking 134 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: and going, okay, best receiver, best receiver available? Which one 135 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: do I like the best? And so to me, it 136 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: was a choice between two. It was Drake London or 137 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson. I went London for the same reason. I 138 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: think the Falcons chose him over Wilson. He's just a 139 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: massive physical mismatch on the field, and I like that 140 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: he instantly slides in as the feature receiver in Atlanta, 141 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: playing a similar role to that that A. J. Brown 142 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: played in the Arthur Smith offense in Tennessee. So but 143 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: the other thing I like is he's not the only 144 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: target there. They have Kyle Pitts, they have Core Darrel Patterson, 145 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: they have some other guys that are weapons on that team. 146 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: And actually, if we could keep going down, I have 147 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: a lot of Atlanta that I'm taking. So I'm kind 148 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: of investing in the Atlanta way right now. And I 149 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: kind of like it here. I just wish we had 150 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: quarterbacks stability and maybe maybe, you know, maybe there will 151 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: be long term but you know, right now, I can't 152 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: tell you who the starter is going to be next year. 153 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: I can't tell you who the starter is gonna be 154 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: in week one. Oh that's good. You know that could 155 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: be up for debate, although I think it'll be Marcus 156 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: Mario probably, But I have a feeling Atlanta is gonna 157 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: want to see a lot of Desmond Ritter. But we'll 158 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 1: talk about him a little later. Yeah, But is it 159 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: it is that at the end of a lost season, 160 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, is that it's going to be a lost 161 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: season anyway, To be honest, I pick for Garrett Wilson 162 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,479 Speaker 1: was my selection. You said you were between London and 163 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: and Wilson. I prefer will and because I loved what 164 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: I saw from Zack Wilson in the second half of 165 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: the season after he came back from injury and was 166 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: a dramatically better quarterback. Reportedly worked out a lot in 167 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: the offseason. He's lost some of the baby fat pictures 168 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: where he looked like young Tom Brady. And well, I 169 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: know some people are scared off by Elijah more Strong 170 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: finished last year. You know they're there are dozens of 171 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: teams that keep two good receivers Fantasy relevant. Are people 172 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: talking themselves out of Jamaar Chase last time at this 173 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: year because of Tee Higgins some and then all the drops? Yeah, 174 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: but foolishly so Yeah, I went Garrett Wilson here. I 175 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: love the deep speed, Uh, the opportunity immediately start and 176 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: he will immediately start Week one. Starter for Garrett Wilson. 177 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: You had picked number five. Where did you go? Um? 178 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: I this is where it got dicey for me. And 179 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: I think that was the end of another tier for me. Um. 180 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: Traylon Burks is the next guy. Uh, he's in Tennessee. 181 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: I think after London and Wilson, Uh, that it's probably 182 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: the tier Burks Olav and sky More in the next 183 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: tier for me, and I took Burke's here. He's good 184 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: enough player to be a first round talent, as we've 185 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: highlighted over the last few weeks on this show, and 186 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: he landed in a spot where he's easily the flashiest 187 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: name on the depth chart, but not in such a 188 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: spot where he's going to be doubled on every play 189 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: because Robert Woods is there in Tennessee well at some point. 190 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: At some point, Austin Hooper is also there, and they're 191 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: respectable enough names that NFL defenses aren't going to leave 192 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: Robert Woods in Austin Hooper wide open on the field 193 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: and just cover trayl On Burks. So I I I 194 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: think that Burks will have the ability to have some space, 195 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: and Tennessee really drafted him as the replacement to A. J. Brown, 196 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: and I think that he kind of hops into to 197 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: that role and let's see if he can roll with it. 198 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: With pick number six, I went with Sky Moore for 199 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: Kansas City. If I were to ask you who is 200 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: the best wide receiver on Kansas City at this time 201 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: next year, who's the probable answer to that question? Uh, 202 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: I guess it's sky More. Schuster is on a one 203 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: year deal, Marcus Valda Scantling is nothing special, and Nicole 204 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: Hardman is nothing special. And we're looking at sky More. 205 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: He's probably the next guy up. He could be Patrick 206 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: Mahomes go to receiver for four years, five years, six years, 207 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: especially with Travis Kelsey, you know, looming towards the end 208 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: of his career, lumbering, lumbering. Um. I like. I like 209 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: sky Moore as a player anyway. You get the quickness, 210 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: the footwork, the balance, the fact that he was productive 211 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: at all levels of the field. There's a lot to 212 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: like about him there. And I'm just not scared off 213 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: by Juju Smith, Schuster and me Cole Hardman together, those 214 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: two guys who they both feel like they're young, but 215 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: they've combined for eight seasons and have managed one one 216 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: thousand yards season between them. I'm just they don't scare me. 217 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: Sky More. This they put eight They put real draft 218 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: equity into sky More, and I think I want Patrick 219 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: Mahomes first, best first and best receiver. Yeah, Juju is 220 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: surprisingly young still, I think he's only or twenty six. 221 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: He got into the league at an incredibly young age. 222 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: But I see your point there, and if Juju works out, 223 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: they'll probably resign him in Kansas City. But other than that, 224 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: sky Moreri's probably the guy for maybe the best quarterback 225 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: in the league. So I agreed, Yeah, what would you 226 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: do with pick number seven? I have Chris Olave of 227 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: the Saints. Um. Some people are like, can Jamis Winston 228 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: support a wide receiver one? Well, yes, he's done so 229 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: with Mike Evans. Uh. And if Michael Thomas is there, 230 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: can Jamis Winston support two wide receiver ones? Well he 231 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: did it with Evans and Chris Godwin a few years ago. Uh. 232 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: The Saints need Olave to work out so badly to 233 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: unlock this offense. They need it more than just about anything. 234 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: A single good wide receiver just makes that offense functional. 235 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: But two good wide receivers of Michael Thomas comes back 236 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: and he's actually healthy, Why that opens up everything for 237 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, and all of a sudden this team is 238 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: a completely different team and maybe one in playoff talks. 239 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: So what I like about Alave was all the deep, 240 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: big plays that he made for Ohio State, and now 241 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: he pairs up with the Yolo stylings. Maybe he wasn't 242 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: super yolo last year. He was pretty conservative last year 243 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: before the injury. You know, I thought that too, But 244 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: then I looked up his His average throw was nine 245 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: point two yards, was his It was his average. His 246 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: average pass when he was with the Bucks, he was 247 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: nine point five. Okay, So you know, they really didn't 248 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: dial in back as much as I thought that maybe 249 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 1: he just got better. Maybe that could be. The interceptions 250 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: are way down, that's true. So you know, I'm we'll 251 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: find out whether or not Jameis Winston is ultimately the 252 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: answer here or not. But I at least I like 253 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: the short term pairing. With pick number eight, I chose 254 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: Christian Watson. Obviously he's steps right in as the Packers 255 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: number one wide receiver, and it's not close. It it's not, 256 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: I mean, it isn't Alan Lazard kind of like the 257 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: de facto number one, just because Aaron Rodgers is such 258 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: a weirdo and so fickle about who he throws the 259 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: ball to that you have to pass the Rogers test 260 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: and you know, be in his inner circle in order 261 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: to have a pass thrown at you. He'll take anything 262 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: he can get at this point. And the Packers liked 263 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: Christian Watson so much they gave a division rival two 264 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: second round picks to get him in the second round. Um, 265 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: that's that tells you a lot about how their esteem 266 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: for Watson. And Watson's got some special traits, great deep 267 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: ball receiver, He's tall, lanky, he's a leaper, he's a finisher, 268 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: tons of scoring prowess after the catch, and obviously pairs 269 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. Now it feels like Aaron Rodgers is 270 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: at the bitter end of his career. He's under contract 271 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: for five years and it's not like the last three 272 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: of them are are phony avoidable years or do you 273 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: think you know? Rogers? And apparently the Packers feel like 274 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: he's got plenty left in the tank. And I will 275 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: take even if Rogers gets ten worse even each of 276 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: the next five years, he's still gonna be better than 277 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: most of the quarterbacks in the league. For what did 278 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: you decide to do with pick number nine? So this 279 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: was kind of my first reach out of the zone 280 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: of what the rookie a DP is and I went 281 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: with James Cook out of Buffalo. Um, I think that 282 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary is just a guy. Pretty good last year, 283 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: I know, but we've seen three years of Devin Centitary 284 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: in the first year, he basically had that backfield all 285 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: to himself, so much so that the Bills were like, 286 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: let's get Zack Moss and give him a year and 287 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: a half worth of work in the backfield. I don't 288 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: think the Bills think he's special. So I think that 289 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: James Cook, if he is indeed special, has a real 290 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: shot of maybe not taking over this role, but being 291 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: the sixty on the sixty split in this role. And 292 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: if you look at what they have in that backfield, 293 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: they haven't had a really good runner in that backfield 294 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: since Fred Jackson left and that was a long time 295 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: mar Sean Lynch, I think was after mar Um. But 296 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: the way the Bill's offense runs, Josh Allen is going 297 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: to do crazy stuff with the ball, which means design runs, rollouts, 298 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: read option plays. That's set up for a guy who 299 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: can get out in the flat and runner out and 300 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: catch passes. I think that's set up for James Cook 301 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: to be a really good runner in in many systems. 302 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: And and you know, a flex starter in in fantasy. 303 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna challenge you on this because I don't like 304 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: Cook very much in this offense. And and here's why. 305 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: I think he is a pedestrian runner who's a very 306 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: gifted receiver, and Devin Singletary is a decent receiver, and 307 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: I think a better runner based on the guy we 308 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: saw in the second half of last year, which was 309 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: shocking because usually dies don't get better in your three, 310 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: running backs don't get better in your three, but Singletary did, 311 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: so it feels to me like it best. It's a 312 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: blended backfield. And then we always have Josh Allen housing 313 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: touchdown and I feel like James Cook is gonna be 314 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: like a three four touchdown a year guy. We're getting 315 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: down to the point in this rookie draft where I'm 316 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: starting to look at guys like, where's where's the upside, 317 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: Where's the guy who can be a starter, And well, 318 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: there's the guy who's the guy that you did not take? 319 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: And then I'm not gonna take but every listener is going, 320 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 1: where is Jamis Williams? Why hasn't somebody taken to me yet? 321 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: And here's the bad part. I'm not taking him either, 322 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: because I got a big take on Rashad White. I 323 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: really like this guy, and I think he's gonna he's 324 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: going to bypass Leo four Nette for the Bucks sooner 325 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: than later, and I just I didn't want to let 326 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: him slide any farther down the Did you hear his 327 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: comments about coming into Tampa Bay? Tell me he said 328 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: he was coming into Tampa Bay to win the job, 329 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: not to compete for the job. He's like, I'm gonna 330 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: win the job good. I got attitude, and and he 331 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: he has the attitude that he's going to take this 332 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: job from Leonard Fournette and run with it. I would 333 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: have otherwise taken Jamis Williams here, just Jamison Williams. Just 334 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,360 Speaker 1: to be clear, Um, you'll need to decide for yourself. 335 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: If you think is Leo four Neette like a special talent? 336 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: Is Leo Fournette super durable? It? Does he still have 337 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: long term viability? I think the answer is no, no, 338 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: and no. Leo Fournet's none of those things. He is 339 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: a capable running back who Tom Brady trusts. He's not. 340 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: I don't think he's got so it does, and he's 341 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: been good, don't get me wrong. What's more, I think 342 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: I think White can earn the starting job at some 343 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: point this year if Tom Brady trusts him enough to 344 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: take over the starting the starting wall. I think it 345 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: can happen here. White to do everything back, elite pass 346 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: catching ability, he can run inside, he can run out. 347 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: I get this. Forty of Rashad whites touches last year 348 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: resulted in first downs or touchdowns. That is some heavy productivity, 349 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: and a touchdown is a first down according to Live Scoring. 350 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: If you use first downs as a as a point metric. 351 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: There you go. Alright, So now let's pick eleven. Yeah, finally, Um, 352 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: he did fall too far. Um. The talent is unquestioned. 353 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: He's fast, he's elusive, he can catch all this stuff. 354 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: I think he gets major ly dinged for a couple 355 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: of reasons. Um, we don't know for sure if he'll 356 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: be healthy enough to start the era. You know he 357 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: will not be healthy enough to start the year. And 358 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: he landed on the Lions. And while aman Ra st 359 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: Brown had a really good stretch at the end of 360 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: last year, you got to remember that was when t. J. 361 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: Hockenson was out and for the Lions, like four otherwide, 362 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: they had nobody else to throw too. And the goofball 363 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: is still the quarterback there. So suddenly there's a few 364 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: mouths defeat in Detroit, and we might not get Jamison 365 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: Williams still halfway through the year, maybe I think that 366 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: this is a three play and you're looking at the 367 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: Lions having a new quarterback and Williams fully healthy in 368 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 1: all right, so let me let me just posture this 369 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: for you, Matt if Williams, if you're not playing to 370 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: win in if you're not playing to win this year, 371 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: where would you have taken Williams? How far up does 372 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: he move? That's I mean, in my mind, if I'm 373 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: a good trader, and I kind of believe that I am. 374 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: If I'm looking at a draft and I think it's 375 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: gonna fall the way I do, and I think he 376 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: might fall to nine eleven, I'm not going to take 377 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: him with the high picks. I'm gonna try to trade 378 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: down and gain some extra draft capital. That's no answer 379 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: to this question. I mean, he's probably He's probably worth 380 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: a fifth, sixth, seventh pick right in there. I think 381 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: you're right. The final pick of the first round, and 382 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: we're not really doing the you know, the snake draft 383 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: and thing. I'm not trying to match pair up people. 384 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: But the twelve pick, last pick of a typical first round, um, 385 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: I took John Dodson and he goes ended up at Washington. 386 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: You mean Josh Dockson. Josh Dockson, remember Josh do the 387 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: Washington Football Commander games they are right. Um, I think 388 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: Eddie landed in a different spot. I think he'd have 389 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: been he'd already been drafted. But this is not the 390 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: greatest spot in the world. Yes, I'm nervous about Carson Wentz, 391 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: but we're time. I got through twenty seven touchdowns last year. 392 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: That's not that bad, and that's a number he's hit. 393 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz has hit twenty seven touchdowns in half of 394 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: his NFL seasons. If he can get to twenty seven again, 395 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: we already know Terry McLaren's just not a touchdown score. 396 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 1: His average, Terry McLaren averages five touchdowns a year. So 397 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: I've got twenty two unaccounted for Carson Wentz touchdowns. McLaurin 398 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: also heading into the final year of his rookie deal, 399 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: and he's kind of been rumored to be on the 400 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: block like a J Brown was Deebo Samuel that kind 401 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: of thing. So there's a chance here the dots and 402 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: ends up in a and being a bigger part of 403 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: this offense and I think a lot of people think, 404 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: and I don't hate Carson Wentz as much as most 405 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: people do. And he's he's been able to ring productivity 406 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: out of his receivers. You know, Pittman was pretty good 407 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: last year and his tight ends were pretty good in Philadelphia. 408 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: So hopefully he's gonna get he's gonna be able to 409 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: use some of the speed and separation that he showed 410 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,719 Speaker 1: in college. And you know that's you know, that's why 411 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: I tip dots in here at twelve. Let's uh, let's 412 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: put a let's put a boat into the first round. Yeah, 413 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: tie it up with the boat. Here I go. We'll 414 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: come back and we will go through the next twelve 415 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: rookies in our Rookie Dynasty Draft Welcome Back Segment number 416 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: two Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchie and Matt Harrison with you. 417 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 1: I didn't properly introduce you at the beginning. It's okay. 418 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: They know me by now lancing my elbow and next thing, 419 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: you know, we're just chatting. Sorry about that. I think 420 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: they've figured out who I am after this is now 421 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: my tenth year on the show. Gosh, I've made it 422 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: a decade decade. Wow, we've got hold together. It's kind 423 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: of scary. You're a young man when this started. I know. Yeah, 424 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: there's gray hair and the sideburns now only the Yeah, 425 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: I'm still okay, let's go to the round number two. 426 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: We've we've already talked through our twelve players that are 427 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: off the board so far. Let's go to pick you 428 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: are up. I took George Pickens out of Pittsburgh because 429 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh wide receiver factory has proven success. Kevin Colbert, 430 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: the GM there has drafted a wide receiver almost every 431 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: year since he took office. And here's the names. A 432 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: few names that he's had success with. Santonio Holmes, Mike Wallace, 433 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, Martavis Bryant, Juju Smith, Schuster, James Washington, 434 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson, Chase Claypool. Only one of those guys turned 435 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: out to be a relative bust. All the rest pretty 436 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: much hit. Which one is the relative bus James Washington Okay, yeah, 437 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: he's still in the league. That it's not even on 438 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 1: the team though. Yeah, but all have been viable Fantasy 439 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: starters at one point or another. He did he did 440 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: miss on Marcus Wheaton in the third round and Limas Swede. 441 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: I don't even remember that guy. Two thousand eight second 442 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: round picks miss Swede, So he missed on two out 443 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: of the last twenty years. Jeez um. Also, we didn't 444 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: draft him here. But I will give an honorable mention 445 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 1: to Calvin Austin, who I think was drafted in the 446 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: fourth round by the Steelers, and there's a lot of 447 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: people who really like him as well. He had gone 448 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: two more picks in our draft I would have taken. Yeah. 449 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: So I think Pickens and Calvin Austin are both very 450 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: interesting guys. Deonte Johnson probably not on the Steelers in 451 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: a year or two, do you think so? Pittsburgh is 452 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: giving up on every one of their wide receivers. They 453 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: just keep going through the factory. The only one one 454 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: of those guys that they signed long term was Antonio Brown. 455 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: Look how that worked out. It did work out for 456 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: a couple of years for a while. I mean he 457 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: was he was the top wide receiver in Fantasy for 458 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: four years straight. But other than that, unless you're gonna 459 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 1: be the top wide receiver for four years straight, Pittsburgh 460 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: is gonna let you walk with Pickens. You get the 461 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: big body, you get a guy who you know, he's 462 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: not Chase Claypool big, but he's a bigger range year 463 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: receiver you can bring in downfield, contested catches, everything that 464 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: Calvin Austin isn't. Who will be their little water bug guy. Um. 465 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: And I think there's touchdown upside in George Pickens and 466 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: touchdown upside that Deante Johnson doesn't usually have. Yeah, and 467 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: and the touchdown upside that we all want Chase Claypool 468 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: to maintain from his rookie year. He didn't really show 469 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: it last year. Maybe Pickens steps in and just kind 470 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: of steals that from Chase Claypool. And picked fourteen, I 471 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: took Damian Pierce from Houston. I got an NFL probable 472 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: starting running back at pick fourteen. Yeah. I was considering 473 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: him a pick or two above, but I just couldn't 474 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: get past the last two receivers. If nothing else, Pierce 475 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: is going to be a rotational back and the definite 476 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: goal line back because man is he built for it. 477 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: Just a wrecking ball. The thick build, the powerful running, 478 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: the punishing finishes. He's got shocking burst and footwork for 479 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: a man his size, good balance, There's so much I 480 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: like about him. It was just weird that they didn't 481 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: use him that much at Florida. I think when we 482 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: talked about that when we're highlighting the runners coming in 483 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: one game with more than fifteen touches, and that was 484 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: the thing we were worried about, is Florida didn't seem 485 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: to figure out how to scheme him enough touches. So 486 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: is weird? Is it something that you know, just college 487 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: coaches didn't figure out in the NFL? Will who knows? 488 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. But Pierce has built for goal line use. 489 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: There's gonna be goal line uptunities in any offense. Even 490 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: Houston not a pass catcher, so he's not gonna help 491 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: me PPR wise, But I do believe that Pierce in 492 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: year one will be a fantasy flex opportunity most weeks. 493 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: Let's go to pick number fifteen. Who did you take? 494 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: I took Isaiah Spiller of the Los Angeles Chargers of Anaheim. 495 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: I think we all like the talent and the profile 496 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: of Spiller coming into the draft, but we don't like 497 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: the landing spot because we love Austin Ekeler. Everybody loves 498 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler. Now he turns twenty seven years old next week. 499 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: He missed six games in twenty with injury, and he 500 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: really wasn't right that whole year. Um saw a handful 501 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: of games where he just wasn't as efficient as he 502 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 1: was back in nineteen. He was okay last year, he 503 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: could have been better seeing him go as like early 504 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: ADPs pick number three in fantasy drafts. I was one 505 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: of the guys who was on Austin Ekeler mountain. I'm 506 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: kind of getting ready to jump off of that mountain. 507 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that he's going to have a full 508 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: workload this year. I think Isaiah Spiller is going to 509 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: cut into it. Because when Melvin Gordon was there and 510 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: taking regular touches, totally different coaching staff, totally different coaching staff. 511 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: But that's when Austin Ekeler's efficiency was through the roof. 512 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 1: And then Gordon left and we're all like, look at 513 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: the efficiency. He's Christian McCaffrey. If he gets to just 514 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: like double the touches as he did last year, he 515 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: kind of was, though he kind of was, but so 516 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little nervous that the end could be 517 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: closer for Eckler than we're all letting on end. Like 518 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: career end, dude, running backs just disappear. They all off 519 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: the face of the earth. That's percent true, But there 520 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: was no indication last year that that was coming. And 521 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: I agree that Spiller is going to have a role 522 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: in this office and they'll use it to extend Austin 523 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: Ekeler's career. If I'm starting a dynasty league right now, 524 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler is a guy that I'm not going to 525 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: have on my roster, I think again, I think I'm 526 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,479 Speaker 1: sure you're you're thinking of you and I have been 527 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: on I have been as heavier proponents of Austin Ekelers 528 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: over the last two years. Is anybody, so I'm a 529 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: little surprised you say it. But I do think Spiller 530 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: will will take ten ish total touches a game out 531 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: of that offense, and that will that will hurt Austin Ekeler. 532 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: But Ekeler is still a special back that Spiller is. 533 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm not doubting the talent. I think that there is 534 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: another runner there that can take touches. I think that 535 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: he's going to still be very efficient, but he also 536 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: does turn twenty seven and the end comes quicker than 537 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: you think for running backs and by by their birthday. 538 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: There's not very many running backs who are really good 539 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: in the league anymore. At pick sixteen, I took John 540 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: Mechi for for Houston, So I went Houston. Houston, good 541 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: for you really want to double down on that Houston 542 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: off that awesome Texans offense. The Texans liked him so 543 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: much they spent pick forty four on a wide receiver 544 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,719 Speaker 1: coming off a December a c L. So he's not 545 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: going to play for a while, but he was highly 546 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: productive with even with all the competition at Alabama, he 547 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: was highly productive. Here's what Nick Saban had to say 548 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: about John Manchi. The guy's the epitome of what you 549 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: look for at a wide receiver. He is tough, he 550 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: plays hurt, he plays physical, he gets open, he makes catches, 551 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: he makes plays, he never complains. I'll take that perfect now. 552 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: Part of my rationale is that I am a believer 553 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: in Davis Mills. I was talking about Davis Mills at 554 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: this time last year that I liked him for Houston 555 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: and thought he would be a factor for Houston. He 556 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: was better than I had even hoped Lettie would be. 557 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: And I think Davis Mills is a legitimate NFL quarterback 558 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be a top five quarterback, 559 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna. I think he will be 560 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: better this year and will emerge out of this season 561 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: as a middle of the pack NFL starter, and those 562 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: guys get those guys can feed fantasy points. Well, I 563 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: think it's in portant to note that the Houston Texans 564 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: also think that, because you know, they passed on Desmond 565 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: Ritter and Malik Willis five times, but they didn't think 566 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: there was a need to change. If Davis Mills, if 567 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: everything we knew about Davis Mills today was a parent 568 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: and Davis Mills was in this draft, he'd go in 569 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: the first round. He'd have been the first quarterback taken. Probably, 570 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: let's go to pick number seventeen. I took Tyler l. 571 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: Gier my second Falcon. If you believe that Cordineral Patterson 572 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: will be the quote unquote running back we saw in 573 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: the first half of last season, Algiers probably not your guy. Yeah, 574 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: but Cordell Patterson fell off the face of the heath 575 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: basically from Thanksgiving forward absolutely, and and Atlanta re signed him. 576 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: So they think that there's value in having CP eighty 577 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: four on the team. But if you watch how big 578 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: and physical Tyler Algier was in his highlight packages from 579 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: b y U, you know he's got a shot to 580 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: be a legit fifteen touch of guy touch guy in 581 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: this offense. And yes, it's the same Arthur Smith offense 582 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: that used a big, physical, bruising running back and had 583 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: him run downhill. That's totally it. Drop Austin Ackler, pick 584 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: up Tyler Alger. It'll all work out, no, um but 585 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: I but honestly, there's a path for Tyler al Geer 586 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: to be the thunder to the CP eight four lightning 587 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: and the Falcons are gonna maybe use Patterson more in 588 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: a Deebo Samuel style role, which I think, uh gives 589 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: him more upside than he is if he's you know, 590 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: lining up in the backfield for twin carries a game. 591 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: So um, I think that Algiers kind of a really 592 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: interesting guy. I I believe he's going to be one 593 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: of those rookies that's going up the adp UH. In 594 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: July and August for US, Zamir White found himself in 595 00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: a lousy spot Las Vegas for running backs. I would 596 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 1: like to live there, and it's not a lot of Yeah, 597 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: it'd be nice. You're talking to guy who just survived 598 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: six months of Minnesota winter. I mean, Vegas sounds great. 599 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: I like to visit Vegas, though I think it would 600 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: be ruined if you lived in Vegas. Like the allure 601 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: and the magic of Vegas, which is I mean, what 602 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: if I live in St. George, Utah, which is about 603 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: uh seventy eight minute drive? Perfect? There you go. There, 604 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: we'll do that. Zamir White needs probably a year before 605 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna really get good dividends out of him, because 606 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: there's already Josh Jacobs and Kenyan Drake. But the team 607 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: just denied Josh Jacobs the fifth year rookie tag. That happened. 608 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake is just a guy and he's on a 609 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: one year deal. Next year's starting running back right now 610 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: looks like Zamir White. Dudes, ripped, super muscular, physical, known 611 00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: for his burst. He punishes tacklers, which I love. He's um. 612 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: He looks like a fantasy touchdown guy. I think he's 613 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: going to be a scorer in this league, and it's 614 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,879 Speaker 1: just a matter of whether or not it comes through 615 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: this season. So you know, I'm gonna sit on to 616 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: your White for a year and then see what I 617 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: got next season. Okay, I took Jalen Tilbert with the 618 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: pick in our draft. Um, he's in Dallas, and we 619 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: all know that Ceedee Lamb is the wide receiver one, 620 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: and Michael Gallup is coming off late season knee surgery 621 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: and he's the wide receiver number two. But Mary Cooper 622 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: he's gone, Cedric Wilson he's gone. After that, it's the 623 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: aforementioned James Washington and Jalen Tilbert. And Talbert's a small 624 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: school guy who fought his way into the third round 625 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: of the draft, and my guests, he fights his way 626 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,919 Speaker 1: into the starting lineup if Gallup is gonna miss some time, 627 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: and who knows after that. If he's really good, this 628 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,879 Speaker 1: could be a guy who's maybe the wide receiver too 629 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: in a Dak Prescott offense. And that's a guy that 630 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: I'm interested in. Do you think he can get past 631 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: Lamb and Gallop to be wide receiver too? I mean, 632 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: he doesn't have to get past Lamb to be the 633 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 1: second wide receiver on that team. Lamb is wide receiver 634 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,479 Speaker 1: one team. Okay, just got past Gallop. As what you're saying, 635 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 1: just gotta get past Gallop. It's just gotta gallop past gallop. 636 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: At pick number twenty, I took Malik Willis much like 637 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 1: the real NFL draft and ignominious fall for Malik Willis 638 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: here at this point and this is our first quarterback 639 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: off the board. Were not super flex? Is not super flex? 640 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: But how about where would you take Malik Willis if 641 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: this was a super flex draft? Since he's still off 642 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: the board, I still think I wouldn't have taken him 643 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: in the first round. I think he'd have been the 644 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: top of the second round super flex. Alright, too much 645 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 1: risk here, but your upside is significant. Everybody knows everything. 646 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,800 Speaker 1: There's no about Malik Willis. There's I'm not telling you. 647 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about his style anything else. 648 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm here for the running and may in the hope 649 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: that Malik Willis can find himself in a position to 650 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: be a starting quarterback and go run me for a 651 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 1: bunch of touchdowns in a bunch of yards. That's it. 652 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: That's picked twenty. What'd you do? I took the next 653 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: quarterback off the floor started quarterback round. Yeah, hey, and 654 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: it's uh Desmond Ritter not Kenny Pickett. Um. I was 655 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: going to take picket here for a second and actually 656 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: wrote him in the document and then I contacted you 657 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,479 Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm gonna change my pick since 658 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: you're you haven't gone yet, and I changed it to 659 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,280 Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter. Why I think the Falcons are in clear 660 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 1: yolo mode. They traded Matt Ryan, they added weapons to 661 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: the offense, probably not enough to challenge for the division, 662 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: but they're in a spot where they have to see 663 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: what they got with Ritter and Mariota. And Ritter was 664 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: only a third round draft capital, so that doesn't prevent 665 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 1: Atlanta from drafting a wide receiver a quarterback in the 666 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: first round next year. I think that they're going to 667 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: see everything that they can out of both of these 668 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 1: quarterbacks this year, use it as the proving ground for 669 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: and that means Ritter is going to get a shot to, 670 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,160 Speaker 1: you know, be the quarterback of this team. So I'm 671 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 1: flipping a coin and I'm going for it. I think 672 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: you just told me you're you're drafting Desmond Ritter even 673 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: though they're going to spend a first round pick on 674 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: quarterback next year if he doesn't work out, Atlanta has 675 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: no reason that they wouldn't spend a quarter spend that 676 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,879 Speaker 1: first round. So we're in high risk hyro territory, So 677 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 1: there's that. I guess at pick number twenty two, I'm 678 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 1: with wide receiver David Bello finds himself in Cleveland. Now, 679 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 1: of course Cleveland brought in Amari Cooper, but after that 680 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,280 Speaker 1: there's there's really nobody to threaten David bell from walking 681 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: in and being a starter as early as week one. 682 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: He's not a flashy player. He is a productive chain 683 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: mover who's got just a very good overall game. But 684 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,320 Speaker 1: he's not explosive. He's not hyper athletic. He's not gonna 685 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: rip off seventy yard runs, but he can move chains. 686 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: I think I view him as a poor man's mm hmm, well, 687 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: I view him as somebody that in a typical week 688 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 1: you could flex start, a guy that you want to 689 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: get six catches sixty yards. And do you look at 690 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 1: him as a Cold Beasley type? No, I don't think. 691 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: I don't think he's that slippery. To be honest, I 692 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: really it's not as slippery as Cold Beasley. Let's pick 693 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 1: him up. No, I don't think he has so you know, 694 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: there's more about opportunity, I think than like massive upside 695 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 1: town in in David belt. But I just think he's 696 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: going to be a consistent guy. You know, we don't 697 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: know yet when, at what point he'll have stability at 698 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: the quarterback position. Well, that's all other questions. We'll worry 699 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: about that down the road. Find out more about that. Alright, 700 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: your last pick of the draft is up. I was 701 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: gonna go take Picket again here, but go take him 702 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: last that then I didn't. I thought would be more 703 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 1: fun to talk about the best tight end project in 704 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: the draft. That's except you didn't get the push over there. Uh. 705 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: Trey McBride is backing up Zach Ertz in Arizona. Earts. 706 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: Will turn thirty two this season. This is a future 707 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 1: play though, as we always say on Fantasy Football Weekly, 708 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: rookie tight ends do nothing and Brian's gonna chirt back 709 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: and say, oh, Kyle Pitts made the Pro Bowl pictures, 710 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: the fifth player taken in the draft. Kyle Pitts scored 711 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 1: one touchdown and it wasn't in the United States of America. Um, 712 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: So this is a future play. Art is probably the 713 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,760 Speaker 1: main guy this year, but we're probably looking at McBride 714 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: to be the main contributor in his second year. It's 715 00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: just got that new deal. I'm nervous about her. It's 716 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: sticking around a while. I'm not nervous because he's old, 717 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 1: so old. Yeah he's nine years younger than me, but 718 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: he's so old. Uh. The tight end I like and 719 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: the why and the guy that I took with the 720 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 1: last pick of the draft was tight end Gilani Woods. 721 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:57,720 Speaker 1: He's gigantic. I love this. I love his kid man. He's, 722 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: by the way, funny. The last two picks are tight ends. Um. 723 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: And I'd rather have Wood Stean McBride because he's a 724 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,759 Speaker 1: freaking beast. He is the tallest heaviest wide receiver in 725 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: the entire draft class. He's six ft seven, two hundred 726 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: fifty three pounds. He has built for end zone use. 727 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 1: He's uh is that, by the way, scored eight touchdowns 728 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: last year. Um. And here's the thing. When I say 729 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: six ft seven, biggest, heaviest, you might think of this 730 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: lumbering guy who can't get open. But from the Adams fans, 731 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: very um, especially in the haircut it four he ran 732 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: a four six forty And the way that they used 733 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 1: him at Virginia, he would they just run him down 734 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: the seam and he's wide open. He's humongous target and 735 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 1: here come these passes into the end zone. And we 736 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,919 Speaker 1: know the Colts love their tight ends. We know Frank 737 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 1: Reich loves his tight ends. And he's just got a 738 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: battle mo Ali Cox for time at least this year. 739 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: Cox is just a guy. He's also really big. You 740 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,800 Speaker 1: know Matt Ryan through the Levine toil Lolo, who was 741 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:11,479 Speaker 1: also a super giant man. So yeah, Gelanni Woods, last 742 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: pick of our of our draft. Okay, I even in 743 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: super flex, I don't think I don't think many of 744 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks. You can make a compelling case for many 745 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 1: of these quarterbacks. Yeah, Kenny Pickett, I don't think we'll 746 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 1: start at the beginning of the year. But with the 747 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 1: NFL schedule released coming out, the early season schedule for 748 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,919 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was incredibly hard. So it might be a good 749 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,279 Speaker 1: thing that Kenny Pickett's not starting, and they're gonna maybe 750 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: throw Mitch True whisky to the Wolves and it'll be 751 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,759 Speaker 1: sad Trombone Ski for a while. Do you want to 752 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: find the button uma, hold on? Hold on there it is, 753 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 1: so it might be sad Trombones Ski for the New Father. 754 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 1: By the way, Oh congratulations, Now a little corner. I 755 00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: like it. I like it, um I If I had 756 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: had one more pick in the draft, I would have 757 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: gone quarterback. Okay, I would have taken Matt Correll, okay, 758 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 1: because I'm intrigued by him. He's he's wiry guy, but 759 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 1: I like the arms strength I think he's got. He's 760 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: a really good athlete. He's got some running ability to him. 761 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,279 Speaker 1: I'd have thrown a draft a pick on him if 762 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,439 Speaker 1: we had gone just even one more selection. And he's 763 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 1: in Carolina where he's opportunity, opportunity is there. I mean 764 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,000 Speaker 1: he could win the job from Sam Donald, that's for sure. 765 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: How about Sam Howell who has never had a steak 766 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 1: in his life, Well, he's never had none. Chicken the 767 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: only meat. He's Corey Cove. He is the Corey Cove 768 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: of the NFL. That remember was who was at Marinovich 769 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 1: that had never had pop? Wasn't that his dad? His 770 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 1: dad wouldn't let him, I think him. Yeah, I don't know. 771 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: It's hey, Look it worked.
