Now, 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:24.200 here's your host. It's another edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:27.000 I am Paul Charchy and I'm back. Oh you made 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:31.240 it through your horrible, horrible malady. God, it was so bad. 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:37.680 The jiggers, jiggers, that's what I had. Oh it was 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:42.919 Coatards Coatard's malady or whatever it was. That too. Then 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:47.919 there was the Africanized killer be Sting got that that 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:51.519 was bad. Oh, you never wanted on your elbow just 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:56.000 see you know, yeah, I see that. It's the swelling down. 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:58.240 That's good. I mean before but it looked you know 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:02.080 what they looked like at softball. In my elbow. It 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:09.800 was terrible, very repeatedly, repeatedly. Just yeah, and when you lanced, 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:16.319 it just sprays hidden. Start the podcast over. Oh my god, 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:21.760 it's so bad. Yes, it's still draft time. Technically it 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.040 feels like a million years ago. But now is the 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:29.240 time when we've got DNA leagues already drafting. Rockie Draft 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:33.720 already mad, and we're here with our own rookie draft, 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.640 two rounds, twenty four players, the order we would take 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:42.199 guys in, and you and I are pretty different from 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:46.600 the the published a d P A lot of these players, 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.440 which I think is healthy. You know, let's give people 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:53.680 some different viewpoints from what they're hearing traditionally about where 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.760 rookie should be going right now? Absolutely, what what places 0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.120 do you look for rookie A d P S when 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.480 you when you are looking stuff up like this. Um see, 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.440 you know I have friends in the industry. I'm good 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.880 friends with the people that own football guys Rhoda Wire, 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:10.959 so I tend to use I tend to use those 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.880 as as some of my go to places. How about you? 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.680 I I like to look at Fantasy Pros and and 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.720 then the DLF guys Dynasty League Football. They do good 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.839 work as well. So this is right there, wheel House, 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.720 This is absolutely it. So yeah, we were looking at, 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.359 you know, different things between the two of us, and 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.560 and we came up with guys in totally different spots 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.959 than a lot of the consensus we did. Of course, 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:34.480 you sniped me a few times. I'd like to think 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.760 I got a couple of your guys, Well, let's let's 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.480 talk through the first round. Will begin with the first 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.720 round and we'll get to the second round after the break. 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.840 I gave you the first pick. Who did you take first? Overall? 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.000 I got the odds, you got the evens. So I 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:51.000 took Breece Hall of the Jets, number one, consensus, number 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.919 one across the census, number one across the board. And 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.760 for me, I think he's just the most talented runner 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.000 in the draft class draft class. And I know that 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.120 you're going to make the case that Kenneth Walker is 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:07.600 because we've already had this argument three weeks ago. Um, 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.560 the offense in New York looks like it's just improved 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:14.160 immensely with the additions this offseason. And Michael Carter is 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.720 kind of more of a change of pace guy to 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.480 me than a full on first and second down runner, 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.359 and I think that's where Bruce Hall fits in. UM 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.120 with you, I wouldn't have spent the draft capital on 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:31.399 Bruce Hall. Also, I don't I've been burned enough collecting 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:35.000 lots of rookie drafts and rebuilds and stuff rookie draft picks. 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.520 I've been burned enough in the past by really focusing 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.840 on landing spot and making that be the tiebreaker the Jets. 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.640 It does look like there's you know, other mouths to 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.280 feed there, and he might not get as many touches 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:52.360 as maybe Walker could in Seattle. But I'm gonna just 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.240 default to the guy who I think is the best 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.640 player on the board. So I'm I'm gonna go with that. 0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.840 I don't want to overthink it, don't want to make 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:03.120 it Clyde Edwards Hilaire over a couple of other good 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.200 runners or something like that, because he ended up in 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.880 Kansas City, you know, and I think we talked ourselves 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.440 into that that year. I was very excited about the spot, 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.560 and I'm still still baffled that they haven't been able 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:21.799 to ring more value out of Clyde Edwards Hilaire. Uh 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.599 the number two pick. Traditionally here it's been it's going 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:29.280 wide receiver, okay, But for me, I did not, and 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.480 normally I lean wide receiver because when you draft a 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.120 wide receiver position to you usually have like a you know, 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.320 an eight year long starter. You know you've got a 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.440 great wide receiver in a great spot. You are very 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.560 good for a long time. Most of these regular listeners 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.680 know how I I feel about do the opposite and 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.600 infesting in non running backs because the length of their 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.640 careers and everything else. But I just can't get one 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:58.120 wide receiver that feels like the match that I want 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:04.559 between talent, location, quarterback, long term viability, and nobody's hitting 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.200 the sweet spot of all of those. That ven diagram 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.400 doesn't come all the way together. No, it doesn't, and 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.599 it doesn't like a Justin Jefferson or I don't know 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.080 many others recently. Well, a great example from last year 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.719 in Cincinnati. You know that's you know, it felt like 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:25.080 you know, both ended up with quarterbacks who were viable 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:29.840 quarterback one fantasy starters in leagues, right ceedee lamb. Another example. 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.560 So I decide I'm just gonna go running back. I 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.679 thought Kenneth Walker was the best running back in this draft, 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.840 the most explosive. And I like Breese Hall just fine. 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.280 I think he's gonna be very, very good. I just 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:43.839 love the explosiveness that Kenneth Walker brings. And I just 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.400 don't see where Shad Penny is as any real He 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:51.520 can't here and apparently Seattle doesn't either because they also 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.359 Drean you know, they resigned Pennies the like. But you 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:58.960 know they but they spent the draft capital on Kenneth Walker. 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.960 You know, we have a long history with Shot Penny. 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.880 He's been good for one month out of his entire career. 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.480 I think Kenneth Walker is a special player, and I 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.520 think Penny will be a little more than a change 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.880 of pace back before long. Now, two things before we 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:19.160 move on. When you're doing dynasty rookie drafts, in my mind, 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.720 I tend to want to grab those running backs when 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.240 I feel like it's the last piece I'm adding to 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.320 my team. I want to trade up and get those 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.960 running backs and and and see if I can put 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.320 everything together. I got all my wide receivers, I got 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.320 my tight ends, I got my quarterbacks, are ready to go. 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.200 People do the opposite that most people do the opposite 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.440 there because your your window with a running back is 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:45.159 probably four years. That's almost an ideal scenario to get 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.800 four viable years out of a rookie running and and 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.240 like you said, your your window for a wide receiver 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:54.360 could be eight ten maybe, so I I think that 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.680 that's important. But the second thing is this the end 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.520 of a tier in the rookies this year, and we 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.919 should rookie running back all the rookies. I don't think so, 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.400 because there are good receivers here that have that. I 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.720 think there are good There are pretty good receivers. To me, 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:11.160 this is not the end of it. Tier do do 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:12.840 believe it is? I kind of think it is. I 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.040 think it's the first two picks. I think it's going 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.600 to be these two guys in whatever order they go. 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.200 And if if you, if I would have taken Kenneth Walker, 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.800 would you have taken Breece Hall number two? Yes? Okay, 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.440 But again because I don't think again, I don't think 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.400 the Venn diagram for all these receivers comes together. And 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.440 now we're gonna go to number three. And I'm looking 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:35.000 and going, okay, best receiver, best receiver available? Which one 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.880 do I like the best? And so to me, it 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.480 was a choice between two. It was Drake London or 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.280 Garrett Wilson. I went London for the same reason. I 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.200 think the Falcons chose him over Wilson. He's just a 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.520 massive physical mismatch on the field, and I like that 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.800 he instantly slides in as the feature receiver in Atlanta, 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.240 playing a similar role to that that A. J. Brown 0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:00.320 played in the Arthur Smith offense in Tennessee. So but 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.560 the other thing I like is he's not the only 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:06.440 target there. They have Kyle Pitts, they have Core Darrel Patterson, 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.920 they have some other guys that are weapons on that team. 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.880 And actually, if we could keep going down, I have 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:16.920 a lot of Atlanta that I'm taking. So I'm kind 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.280 of investing in the Atlanta way right now. And I 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.720 kind of like it here. I just wish we had 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.680 quarterbacks stability and maybe maybe, you know, maybe there will 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.160 be long term but you know, right now, I can't 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.680 tell you who the starter is going to be next year. 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.000 I can't tell you who the starter is gonna be 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.200 in week one. Oh that's good. You know that could 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.360 be up for debate, although I think it'll be Marcus 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.120 Mario probably, But I have a feeling Atlanta is gonna 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.360 want to see a lot of Desmond Ritter. But we'll 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.559 talk about him a little later. Yeah, But is it 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.720 it is that at the end of a lost season, 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.000 you know, is that it's going to be a lost 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:54.480 season anyway, To be honest, I pick for Garrett Wilson 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.479 was my selection. You said you were between London and 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:01.920 and Wilson. I prefer will and because I loved what 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.280 I saw from Zack Wilson in the second half of 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:05.839 the season after he came back from injury and was 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:10.040 a dramatically better quarterback. Reportedly worked out a lot in 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.400 the offseason. He's lost some of the baby fat pictures 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:17.600 where he looked like young Tom Brady. And well, I 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.959 know some people are scared off by Elijah more Strong 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.240 finished last year. You know they're there are dozens of 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:28.680 teams that keep two good receivers Fantasy relevant. Are people 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.240 talking themselves out of Jamaar Chase last time at this 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:35.440 year because of Tee Higgins some and then all the drops? Yeah, 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.960 but foolishly so Yeah, I went Garrett Wilson here. I 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.960 love the deep speed, Uh, the opportunity immediately start and 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.800 he will immediately start Week one. Starter for Garrett Wilson. 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.400 You had picked number five. Where did you go? Um? 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.160 I this is where it got dicey for me. And 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.400 I think that was the end of another tier for me. Um. 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.760 Traylon Burks is the next guy. Uh, he's in Tennessee. 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.600 I think after London and Wilson, Uh, that it's probably 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:04.080 the tier Burks Olav and sky More in the next 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.360 tier for me, and I took Burke's here. He's good 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.280 enough player to be a first round talent, as we've 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.520 highlighted over the last few weeks on this show, and 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:15.199 he landed in a spot where he's easily the flashiest 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.120 name on the depth chart, but not in such a 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.040 spot where he's going to be doubled on every play 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.480 because Robert Woods is there in Tennessee well at some point. 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.760 At some point, Austin Hooper is also there, and they're 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:30.199 respectable enough names that NFL defenses aren't going to leave 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.720 Robert Woods in Austin Hooper wide open on the field 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:36.080 and just cover trayl On Burks. So I I I 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.080 think that Burks will have the ability to have some space, 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:43.160 and Tennessee really drafted him as the replacement to A. J. Brown, 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.000 and I think that he kind of hops into to 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:46.800 that role and let's see if he can roll with it. 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.120 With pick number six, I went with Sky Moore for 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.760 Kansas City. If I were to ask you who is 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:57.640 the best wide receiver on Kansas City at this time 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:04.600 next year, who's the probable answer to that question? Uh, 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.199 I guess it's sky More. Schuster is on a one 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.400 year deal, Marcus Valda Scantling is nothing special, and Nicole 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.120 Hardman is nothing special. And we're looking at sky More. 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.679 He's probably the next guy up. He could be Patrick 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:23.319 Mahomes go to receiver for four years, five years, six years, 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:28.040 especially with Travis Kelsey, you know, looming towards the end 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:32.240 of his career, lumbering, lumbering. Um. I like. I like 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.600 sky Moore as a player anyway. You get the quickness, 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.840 the footwork, the balance, the fact that he was productive 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.520 at all levels of the field. There's a lot to 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.640 like about him there. And I'm just not scared off 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.959 by Juju Smith, Schuster and me Cole Hardman together, those 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.280 two guys who they both feel like they're young, but 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.880 they've combined for eight seasons and have managed one one 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.480 thousand yards season between them. I'm just they don't scare me. 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:59.400 Sky More. This they put eight They put real draft 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.520 equity into sky More, and I think I want Patrick 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:06.200 Mahomes first, best first and best receiver. Yeah, Juju is 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.320 surprisingly young still, I think he's only or twenty six. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.679 He got into the league at an incredibly young age. 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.559 But I see your point there, and if Juju works out, 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.640 they'll probably resign him in Kansas City. But other than that, 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:22.920 sky Moreri's probably the guy for maybe the best quarterback 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:26.360 in the league. So I agreed, Yeah, what would you 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.280 do with pick number seven? I have Chris Olave of 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:33.160 the Saints. Um. Some people are like, can Jamis Winston 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.880 support a wide receiver one? Well, yes, he's done so 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.760 with Mike Evans. Uh. And if Michael Thomas is there, 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.760 can Jamis Winston support two wide receiver ones? Well he 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.880 did it with Evans and Chris Godwin a few years ago. Uh. 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:49.040 The Saints need Olave to work out so badly to 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:53.160 unlock this offense. They need it more than just about anything. 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:57.679 A single good wide receiver just makes that offense functional. 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.400 But two good wide receivers of Michael Thomas comes back 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.480 and he's actually healthy, Why that opens up everything for 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.160 Alvin Kamara, and all of a sudden this team is 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:10.280 a completely different team and maybe one in playoff talks. 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.920 So what I like about Alave was all the deep, 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:18.360 big plays that he made for Ohio State, and now 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:23.760 he pairs up with the Yolo stylings. Maybe he wasn't 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.960 super yolo last year. He was pretty conservative last year 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:28.920 before the injury. You know, I thought that too, But 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.480 then I looked up his His average throw was nine 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.400 point two yards, was his It was his average. His 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.679 average pass when he was with the Bucks, he was 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.520 nine point five. Okay, So you know, they really didn't 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.520 dial in back as much as I thought that maybe 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.839 he just got better. Maybe that could be. The interceptions 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:48.080 are way down, that's true. So you know, I'm we'll 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.520 find out whether or not Jameis Winston is ultimately the 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.000 answer here or not. But I at least I like 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:57.720 the short term pairing. With pick number eight, I chose 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.480 Christian Watson. Obviously he's steps right in as the Packers 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:05.000 number one wide receiver, and it's not close. It it's not, 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.080 I mean, it isn't Alan Lazard kind of like the 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:12.640 de facto number one, just because Aaron Rodgers is such 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.320 a weirdo and so fickle about who he throws the 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.160 ball to that you have to pass the Rogers test 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:22.160 and you know, be in his inner circle in order 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.160 to have a pass thrown at you. He'll take anything 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.440 he can get at this point. And the Packers liked 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:32.320 Christian Watson so much they gave a division rival two 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:36.800 second round picks to get him in the second round. Um, 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.360 that's that tells you a lot about how their esteem 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.720 for Watson. And Watson's got some special traits, great deep 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:47.040 ball receiver, He's tall, lanky, he's a leaper, he's a finisher, 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.600 tons of scoring prowess after the catch, and obviously pairs 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.440 with Aaron Rodgers. Now it feels like Aaron Rodgers is 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.400 at the bitter end of his career. He's under contract 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.200 for five years and it's not like the last three 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.120 of them are are phony avoidable years or do you 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.480 think you know? Rogers? And apparently the Packers feel like 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.640 he's got plenty left in the tank. And I will 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:10.080 take even if Rogers gets ten worse even each of 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.400 the next five years, he's still gonna be better than 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:16.120 most of the quarterbacks in the league. For what did 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.000 you decide to do with pick number nine? So this 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.520 was kind of my first reach out of the zone 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.400 of what the rookie a DP is and I went 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:28.720 with James Cook out of Buffalo. Um, I think that 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:33.000 Devin Singletary is just a guy. Pretty good last year, 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:37.080 I know, but we've seen three years of Devin Centitary 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.160 in the first year, he basically had that backfield all 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.520 to himself, so much so that the Bills were like, 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.160 let's get Zack Moss and give him a year and 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.760 a half worth of work in the backfield. I don't 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.480 think the Bills think he's special. So I think that 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:55.960 James Cook, if he is indeed special, has a real 0:15:56.080 --> 0:16:00.960 shot of maybe not taking over this role, but being 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.400 the sixty on the sixty split in this role. And 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.600 if you look at what they have in that backfield, 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.920 they haven't had a really good runner in that backfield 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.040 since Fred Jackson left and that was a long time 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:19.320 mar Sean Lynch, I think was after mar Um. But 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.560 the way the Bill's offense runs, Josh Allen is going 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.800 to do crazy stuff with the ball, which means design runs, rollouts, 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.720 read option plays. That's set up for a guy who 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:30.960 can get out in the flat and runner out and 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.920 catch passes. I think that's set up for James Cook 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.920 to be a really good runner in in many systems. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.320 And and you know, a flex starter in in fantasy. 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.320 I'm gonna challenge you on this because I don't like 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.720 Cook very much in this offense. And and here's why. 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.160 I think he is a pedestrian runner who's a very 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:54.840 gifted receiver, and Devin Singletary is a decent receiver, and 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.200 I think a better runner based on the guy we 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.920 saw in the second half of last year, which was 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.440 shocking because usually dies don't get better in your three, 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.280 running backs don't get better in your three, but Singletary did, 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.000 so it feels to me like it best. It's a 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:11.680 blended backfield. And then we always have Josh Allen housing 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:15.080 touchdown and I feel like James Cook is gonna be 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:18.720 like a three four touchdown a year guy. We're getting 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.160 down to the point in this rookie draft where I'm 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:24.520 starting to look at guys like, where's where's the upside, 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:28.200 Where's the guy who can be a starter, And well, 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.359 there's the guy who's the guy that you did not take? 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.240 And then I'm not gonna take but every listener is going, 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.640 where is Jamis Williams? Why hasn't somebody taken to me yet? 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:40.920 And here's the bad part. I'm not taking him either, 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:45.320 because I got a big take on Rashad White. I 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.800 really like this guy, and I think he's gonna he's 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:52.400 going to bypass Leo four Nette for the Bucks sooner 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.639 than later, and I just I didn't want to let 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:56.879 him slide any farther down the Did you hear his 0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:00.440 comments about coming into Tampa Bay? Tell me he said 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.840 he was coming into Tampa Bay to win the job, 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.560 not to compete for the job. He's like, I'm gonna 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.280 win the job good. I got attitude, and and he 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.000 he has the attitude that he's going to take this 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:12.360 job from Leonard Fournette and run with it. I would 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.720 have otherwise taken Jamis Williams here, just Jamison Williams. Just 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.360 to be clear, Um, you'll need to decide for yourself. 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.960 If you think is Leo four Neette like a special talent? 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:25.280 Is Leo Fournette super durable? It? Does he still have 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.160 long term viability? I think the answer is no, no, 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:32.200 and no. Leo Fournet's none of those things. He is 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:38.000 a capable running back who Tom Brady trusts. He's not. 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:42.080 I don't think he's got so it does, and he's 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.800 been good, don't get me wrong. What's more, I think 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.920 I think White can earn the starting job at some 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:51.800 point this year if Tom Brady trusts him enough to 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:54.080 take over the starting the starting wall. I think it 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.879 can happen here. White to do everything back, elite pass 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.000 catching ability, he can run inside, he can run out. 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:05.560 I get this. Forty of Rashad whites touches last year 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:11.440 resulted in first downs or touchdowns. That is some heavy productivity, 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:15.320 and a touchdown is a first down according to Live Scoring. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.000 If you use first downs as a as a point metric. 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:26.160 There you go. Alright, So now let's pick eleven. Yeah, finally, Um, 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:29.600 he did fall too far. Um. The talent is unquestioned. 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:32.439 He's fast, he's elusive, he can catch all this stuff. 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:34.960 I think he gets major ly dinged for a couple 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:37.480 of reasons. Um, we don't know for sure if he'll 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:39.480 be healthy enough to start the era. You know he 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:41.760 will not be healthy enough to start the year. And 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.880 he landed on the Lions. And while aman Ra st 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:46.639 Brown had a really good stretch at the end of 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:48.879 last year, you got to remember that was when t. J. 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:52.520 Hockenson was out and for the Lions, like four otherwide, 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.720 they had nobody else to throw too. And the goofball 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:59.280 is still the quarterback there. So suddenly there's a few 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:02.280 mouths defeat in Detroit, and we might not get Jamison 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:06.920 Williams still halfway through the year, maybe I think that 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.280 this is a three play and you're looking at the 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:14.119 Lions having a new quarterback and Williams fully healthy in 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.400 all right, so let me let me just posture this 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:21.280 for you, Matt if Williams, if you're not playing to 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:25.240 win in if you're not playing to win this year, 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.919 where would you have taken Williams? How far up does 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:33.800 he move? That's I mean, in my mind, if I'm 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.720 a good trader, and I kind of believe that I am. 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:38.640 If I'm looking at a draft and I think it's 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:40.280 gonna fall the way I do, and I think he 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:43.520 might fall to nine eleven, I'm not going to take 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:45.480 him with the high picks. I'm gonna try to trade 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.200 down and gain some extra draft capital. That's no answer 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:50.720 to this question. I mean, he's probably He's probably worth 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.360 a fifth, sixth, seventh pick right in there. I think 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:56.760 you're right. The final pick of the first round, and 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:59.800 we're not really doing the you know, the snake draft 0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:01.639 and thing. I'm not trying to match pair up people. 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:05.679 But the twelve pick, last pick of a typical first round, um, 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.360 I took John Dodson and he goes ended up at Washington. 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:13.720 You mean Josh Dockson. Josh Dockson, remember Josh do the 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:19.040 Washington Football Commander games they are right. Um, I think 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:20.919 Eddie landed in a different spot. I think he'd have 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.919 been he'd already been drafted. But this is not the 0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:27.320 greatest spot in the world. Yes, I'm nervous about Carson Wentz, 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.160 but we're time. I got through twenty seven touchdowns last year. 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:33.760 That's not that bad, and that's a number he's hit. 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:37.359 Carson Wentz has hit twenty seven touchdowns in half of 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:41.080 his NFL seasons. If he can get to twenty seven again, 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:44.600 we already know Terry McLaren's just not a touchdown score. 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:48.959 His average, Terry McLaren averages five touchdowns a year. So 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:52.960 I've got twenty two unaccounted for Carson Wentz touchdowns. McLaurin 0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:56.120 also heading into the final year of his rookie deal, 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:58.720 and he's kind of been rumored to be on the 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:01.440 block like a J Brown was Deebo Samuel that kind 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:04.159
