Yeah, 13 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 3: I mean, what a crazy weekend we're coming off of 14 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 3: with the NFL Draft, and it's it's super exciting to 15 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 3: get into the evaluations for these guys for the coming 16 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 3: fantasy season. 17 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: Yes, and we're gonna do this in two parts. This 18 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: week it's guys who hit the right landing spots after 19 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: round one because last weok, he did round one because 20 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: we record on Fridays and we knew all that. We 21 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: knew everything from Thursday. This week it's round two and beyond. 22 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: We're not doing every single player. I've limited this to 23 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: something in the ballpark of like I don't know, we're 24 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: going to do like eleven guys round two and beyond 25 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: thor that where we like the landing spot. 26 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 3: Yes, So now I. 27 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: Want to be clear, we're not suggesting these players are 28 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: automatically going to have fantasy success. What we are saying 29 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: is that these are guys who have fallen into a 30 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: spot that gives them a primrose path to fantasy success 31 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: and possibly in the near future as well. 32 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 3: And mostly I've mostly we're. 33 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: Looking at players in rounds two through four because these 34 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,639 Speaker 1: are higher value players that I think are probably better 35 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: that the team has got more equity built into. And again, 36 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: not a comprehendhensive list, but there's a lot of great 37 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,040 Speaker 1: names here in great. 38 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 3: Spots predominantly, yes, and we're going to talk about some 39 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: really interesting ones. We also have a couple of deep 40 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 3: sleepers for you guys. Excited for that too. And then 41 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 3: next week let's do worst landing spots. 42 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: So guys that were even if we really like the player, 43 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: we don't like where he ended up and we're worried 44 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: about the timeline for six sess on those guys. So 45 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: that'll be next week. Okay, So best landing spots. I 46 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: want to start with this guy, Trey Benson. He was 47 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: my favorite fantasy back coming into this draft. He drops 48 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: into Arizona in round three, currently going off the board 49 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: to pick twelve in non superflex rookie drafts. He gets 50 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: into an improving offense. And I feel like I've said 51 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: this stat like five times in the last month. Arizona 52 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: averaged twenty five points per game in their final five 53 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: or maybe it was six games of last year, so 54 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: they were getting better. They add a stable quarterback. They 55 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: add Marvin Harrison and James Connor, who played well last year, 56 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: but he's aged twenty nine. I mean, the cliff's coming 57 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: for James Connor. And when it does, there's Trey Benson. 58 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 3: Who is about to put his boot onto the bumper 59 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 3: of James Connor's car off a back cliff. Right, Yeah, 60 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 3: Trey Benson's coming for you at James. A very interesting 61 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 3: pick and a great landing spot for Trey Bentson. I 62 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 3: think he starts chomping into Connor's usage immediately bypasses him 63 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: in very short order. In twenty twenty two, Trey Benson 64 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 3: sets the single season PFF record for force miss tackle rate. 65 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: In that season, he became the first collegiate running back 66 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 3: in the PFF charting era with a force miss tackle 67 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 3: rate over fifty percent. Oh, I love it. That was crazy. 68 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 3: And then you combine the last two seasons, Benson was 69 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: number one out of two hundred twenty six qualifiers in 70 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 3: miss tackles force per attempt. Oh. So you have that 71 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 3: so sexy an you talk to me like this so hot. 72 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 3: You have that aspect of his game where he's breaking 73 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 3: the tackles in the first level to get out to 74 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: that second level. And once he does, that's where the 75 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: size speed combination comes in. He was the premier combination 76 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: of that in this class for three nine wheels at 77 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 3: two hundred and sixteen pounds. Guys an absolute stud of 78 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 3: an athlete. That's why you saw him a cru so 79 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: many explosive runs at Florida State. The other thing I 80 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 3: would say about him, Mike Norvelu, go back to Memphis. 81 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 3: Remember when the way that he used Antonio Gibson, the 82 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: way he used Tony Pollard, When he had guys that 83 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: could multi dimensional skill, guy that could handle this sort 84 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: of thing, he would he would motion them out to 85 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 3: the slot, do interesting receiving things with them, get the 86 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 3: blockers out in front of him. He was doing that 87 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 3: sort of stuff. With Trey Benson because he's skilled enough 88 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: as a receiver. I also liked on Trey Benson's tape 89 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 3: the way he would sell play the play action, then 90 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 3: work his way through the line of scrimmage, work his 91 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 3: way through the garbage, get around that, and make himself 92 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 3: immediately available to the quarterback. Got a lot of targets 93 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 3: doing that. His hands are good and you get the 94 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 3: tackle break in Berserker. After that, all you got to 95 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 3: do is get is hit him on the hands eighty 96 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 3: six percentile among running backs and miss tackles force per reception. 97 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 3: So that's a side of the other thing we were 98 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 3: talking about. 99 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: And Florida State never does like workhorse back that they've 100 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: just beaten into the ground with, you know, two hundred 101 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: and fifty three hundred touches. 102 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: You know, they always use rotations of guys. 103 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: I mean they And so Benson comes into the NFL 104 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: really with pretty low mileage but enough usage. You feel 105 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: really good projecting success for the Cardinals. 106 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: That's right. Yeah, And it's a it's a nippick you 107 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 3: can have about NorVa when you're thinking about these guys 108 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 3: for the NFL, because you're, like, man, I wish Benson 109 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: like last year, the usage he would get pulled off 110 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 3: the field sometimes because this is what Mike Norvell has 111 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 3: done going back to Memphis, and it's like, man, you've 112 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 3: got an awesome running back on your roster, just funnel 113 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 3: at all to him. But that's just the way that 114 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 3: does system. 115 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to the next running back with 116 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: that fell into a promising spot. Jonathan Brooks ends up 117 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: in Carolina in round two. He's currently going up the 118 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: board to pick eleven in non superflex rookie drafts. You know, 119 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: I was a little lukewarm on his overall game. I 120 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: don't see special NFL level traits like I do in 121 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: Trey Benson, but I love the opportunity in Carolina, and 122 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: Carolina's offensive line non awful in run black blocking. They 123 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: ranked sixteenth by Pro Football Focus. And he's just been 124 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: playing better than Chewba Hubbard and where Miles Sanders is 125 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: right now, and those I mean, those guys could be 126 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: cut candidates for me as far as I'm as far 127 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 1: as I'm concerned. What are your thoughts on this landing 128 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: spot for Jonathan Brooks in Carolina? 129 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 3: This is probably the best landing spot for any running 130 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 3: back that was taken, which is the case because I 131 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 3: don't know why Dallas didn't take a ruddy back draft 132 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 3: was weird. But because of that, this is objectively, I 133 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 3: think the best landing spot. He walks in immediately and 134 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 3: is going to be the belcow of the running game there. 135 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 3: Jonathan Brooks a guy earlier in his career stuck behind 136 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 3: Bijon Robinson and Roshawn Johnson. This this past season, he 137 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 3: made up for it. The first ten games of the season, 138 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 3: he was averaging over one hundred and forty scrimmage yards 139 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 3: per game. Unfortunately, he tears his ACL against TCU on 140 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 3: November eleventh. That was the then that of course wiped 141 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 3: out his entire pre draft process. Wasn't able to test 142 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 3: everything like that. I love his feet. I like him 143 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 3: as a runner. He makes people miss that. That's the 144 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 3: part of his game where I mean, I think Caroline 145 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 3: is going to give him a metric ton of carries 146 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 3: this coming season, the. 147 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: One assuming he comes back in short order from the injury. 148 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 3: And they've been the public comments about that have been 149 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 3: pretty bullish that he's going to be ready for the 150 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: start of the season. Well to see, I mean, like 151 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 3: we're in the middle of his recovery process right now, right, yes, 152 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 3: you know well to see, but at least the timeline 153 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 3: that has been given to us publicly, it sounds promising. 154 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 3: The one part of his game that I'll be interested 155 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 3: to see how much at the NFL level is the 156 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 3: receiving element of it. Obviously earlier in his career because 157 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 3: of the way that you know, with Beijon there and Rochean, 158 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 3: he just wasn't used as much as a receiver, and 159 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: then those first ten games a lot of the usage 160 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: was coming as a runner. So I'm not sure about 161 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 3: that aspect of his game, but he's gonna get He 162 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 3: is going to be the belcow of that Carolina offense 163 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: as far as the runner immediately, and. 164 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: That's Jonathan Brooks. Let's go to another running back that 165 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: fell into a nice spot. Kamani Vidal has been. 166 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 3: You know, he's been. 167 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: There's been a ton of talk and buzz in the 168 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: fantasy community since the draft, even though he didn't get 169 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: taken until round six, and he's currently going off the 170 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: board to pick thirty nine and non super flex rookie drafts. 171 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: He needs to get passed JK. Dobbins and Gus Edwards, 172 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: but they just haven't looked the same since their respect 173 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: of ACL injuries. I mean, you can't always bounce back 174 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: from these like you like you want to. But part 175 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: of the love here is Greg Roman and Jim Harbaugh 176 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: give us the most run heavy combo in the NFL, right, 177 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: so opportunity is. 178 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 3: Going to be there one thousand percent. Kamani Vidal, I 179 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 3: absolutely love his game. The last couple of years, he 180 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,679 Speaker 3: was the Belkow period, end of story for that Troy 181 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: team that was dominant in the G five. He got, 182 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 3: he got all the looks there. He would stay on 183 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: the field on passing downs, but to pass block in 184 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 3: that system predominantly last four years he averaged around twenty 185 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 3: catches per season, not because he can't catch, but because 186 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 3: that was the way their offense was set up. It 187 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 3: turns out that Kamani Vidal is probably the best pass 188 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 3: blocking back in this class, which is going to keep 189 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 3: him on the field for passing downs. If not. I 190 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: think he's a better receiver than he was given credit 191 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: for in the process. But as a runner, a very 192 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: very interesting player. And the landing spot here, of course 193 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 3: is great Jim Harbaugh. This is his type of running back. 194 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: Blake Korham ends up going in the third round to 195 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 3: Sean mcvabe, so at least he stays in the same 196 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 3: area code as Jim Harbaugh. But I thought it was 197 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: so interesting that three runs they can have sleepovers. They 198 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 3: can sleepovers exactly. But three rounds later he ends up 199 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 3: taking Vidal, who is essentially the pointing spider Man give 200 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 3: of Blake Koram as a physical package. They're in the 201 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 3: same height, they're the same weight. It's just Kamani Vidal 202 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 3: is a better athlete. Kamani Vidal ended up testing as 203 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 3: an eighty eight percentile athlete five A two thirteen. You 204 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: know you have that bowling ball build. Kamani Vidal ran 205 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 3: for four thousand yards in the FBS. He did it 206 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 3: a different way than Blake Korum, even though they're in 207 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 3: the same dimensions. Blake Koram is more your breaking bowling 208 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 3: ball on the lane, where he does it with agility, tempo, patience, 209 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 3: different stuff like that Kamani Vidal, whereas with him, it's 210 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 3: throwing the bowling ball at the pins where it's he 211 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 3: comes forward, the acceleration. He's not waiting for anyone breaking 212 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 3: through that line, and it's a different type of a 213 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 3: playing style for back that type where a lot of them. 214 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 3: Usually you see more of the Korum type, Devin Motor, Singletary, 215 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 3: those kind of guys where it's more shaken. Vadal takes 216 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 3: the fight to you. And and it's not just that 217 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 3: he accrued all these stats against G five teams. They 218 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 3: played Kansas State. Kansas State was loading eight man boxing 219 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 3: against Kamani Vidal. He was blowing through into the second 220 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 3: third level. The guy that I compared Kamani Vidal to 221 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 3: was Jalen Warren, which I got a chance to ask 222 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 3: Kamani down in Mobile at the Senior but what he 223 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 3: thought of my company, He was starting to laugh, and 224 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 3: he compared himself to Maurice Jones Drew. But he did 225 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 3: say that he liked my comp of him. The thing 226 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 3: with those two guys' games. When Jalen Warren came out 227 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 3: of Oklahoma State, obviously he was under sauld the ends 228 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 3: up going undrafted. Warren finished his last season there number 229 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 3: two in the FBS and forced miss tackles. This past season, 230 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 3: Kabati Vedal finished number two in the FBS and forced 231 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: miss tackles. I think that that's what he has bringing, 232 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 3: that kind of game is what he is bringing to 233 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 3: the Charterers. I believe that in his rookie season he 234 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 3: upset JK. Dobbins and Gus Edwards to start as a 235 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 3: rookie for Jim Harbaugh in that run first offense that 236 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 3: they have with Greg Roman. 237 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: Let's transition to tight ends, and you and I broke 238 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: down the tight end position only like what four shows ago. 239 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: So I don't want to spend a ton of time 240 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: on who these guys are, but I do like the 241 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: opportunities for three different guys that fell into spots where 242 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: they can be short, they can become starters, perhaps as 243 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 1: early as week one, number one Jatavian Sanders, he falls 244 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: to Carolina, He's only got to beat out Tommy Trumbull 245 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: and Ian Thomas here and a completely rebuilt Carolina offense. 246 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: You know, with new coaching staff, obviously we're you know, 247 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna get year number two for Bryce Young. It's 248 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: going to be better. It's going to be better for 249 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: Bryce Young. One hundred percent chance it's going to be better. 250 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about that landing spot for Sanders. 251 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 3: I'm interested to see if they're if Carolina is willing 252 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 3: to take a third receiver off the field to get 253 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 3: him onto it, or if or if they'll go without 254 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 3: an inline guy, because the thing with Jatavian Sanders is 255 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 3: he cannot play inline. He will get ragg dall and 256 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 3: it's one of the reasons why he fell down the 257 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 3: board a little bit. Yeah, as far as his receiving utility, 258 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 3: to me, it's isolated to two things. And Steve Starkesian 259 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 3: very cleverly schemed to uh to work around these things 260 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 3: and to play these things up. With his testing. You 261 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 3: saw the speed and you saw the burst. The rest 262 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 3: of his athletic testing disappointed. That's why he finished fifty 263 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 3: seven percentile in that. But he can stretch the seam absolutely, 264 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 3: he can absolutely do that, and he can make plays downfield. 265 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: The other thing that they would do for him, Sarkeshan 266 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 3: would get the defense focusing on Xavier Worthy Adonai Mitchell 267 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 3: on the other side of the field and would get 268 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,479 Speaker 3: Sanders isolated against one of the tertiary you know, linebackers 269 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 3: strong safety against Sanders in space one on one hit 270 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 3: him on the hands in the intermediate area where he 271 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 3: had the opportunity to turn up field and hit the jets. 272 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 3: So you would see the yak yardage there to Chaevian 273 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 3: Sanders does not break tackles, but he gets yak yardage 274 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 3: because of that and the way he was schemed with that. 275 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 3: If Carolina uses him cleverly like that, I think that's 276 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 3: where you get the receiving utility out of him at 277 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 3: the NFL level. But again I'm curious how they do 278 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 3: their offensive usage because you have the three starting receivers 279 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 3: now that they had to get to that room. 280 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's and on the interior they got Deontay 281 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: Johnson now add feeling, both guys that run a fair 282 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: amount from the slot, and so you worry about Sanders 283 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: necessarily just having room to stand up if he's not 284 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: gonna be an inline guy and he's going to be 285 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: standing in the slot. What do we do if we've 286 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: got two receivers who can run in the slot. 287 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: For sure, but a far far, far better receiver and 288 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: offers more utility than those two other guys that you 289 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 3: mentioned on the Carolina depth chart. 290 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: Sanders currently going pick thirty six and non superflex rookie drafts. 291 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: Let's go to another tight end. 292 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: Eric Hall drops into Cincinnati and one of the better 293 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: spots available for a tight end. He only needs to 294 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: beat out Tanner, Hudson, Drew sample Mike Koseki, who at 295 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: this point I think we can just call it. We 296 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: can stop referring to Mike Aseki as a former first rounder. 297 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 1: Let's just call him a journeyman because I think at 298 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: this point that's where he is and in his career path. 299 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: What do you think of Eric Hall currently going off 300 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: the board way down at pick fifty four in non 301 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: superflex rookie drafts. 302 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 3: Oh, that's a mistake by people, isn't it. Yes, Eric All? 303 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 3: I love Eric All. I was so ballish on him. 304 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 3: He was my tight end three, and as I put 305 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 3: in my scouting report with the tight ends, he would 306 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 3: have been my tight end two if I had confirmation 307 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 3: on the medicals that that he had been cleared with 308 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 3: at it. It feels like the Bengals were okay with 309 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 3: it based on where they took him, which is right 310 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 3: around where he was on my board. Eric All is 311 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 3: very clearly the number two guy at this position group 312 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 3: in terms of receiving utility offered to the next level 313 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 3: he's been. He was starting at Michigan for the two 314 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 3: years prior to when he went to Iowa. Last year 315 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 3: at Iowa, when he was on the field the first 316 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 3: six games or so, he was one of the better 317 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 3: receiving tight ends in college football by the numbers and 318 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 3: what was once again a rancid passing offense in Iowa City. 319 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: But they had brought him in after he transferred from 320 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 3: Michigan in order to step into Sam Laporta's inline spot 321 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 3: in their offense. Yeah, when he was at Michigan, he 322 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 3: was playing more of the h back, big slot role, 323 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 3: move around chess piece, kind of a role that this 324 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 3: past year Colson Lovelin filled in Jim Harbaugh's offense. But 325 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 3: I love the athleticism with Eric All in conjunction with 326 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 3: the receiving skill, and he has ball skills as well. 327 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 3: But you can see examples of this even in his 328 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 3: brief time in Iowa City. There was a play last 329 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 3: year they hit him on the hands intermediate against Penn 330 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 3: State and he ends up turning the corner and Kaylan 331 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 3: King was the cornerback who is trailing him. Eric All 332 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 3: outruns Kaylan King to the end zone for love fifty 333 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 3: yards out. Wow, kaylan King and his pro day ran 334 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 3: I believe a four or five to one, So I 335 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 3: think eric All would have ran probably in the high 336 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 3: four fours had he been able to test Caylen King 337 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, four or five to two at Penn States Prode. 338 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 3: But at least on that play in pads, eric All 339 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 3: appeared to be faster than him. Washington's Devin culpad the 340 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 3: fastest forty time with tight ends that were tested this 341 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 3: year at four four seven, eric All would have been 342 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 3: challenging him. And then you know Theo Johnson was the 343 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 3: one everyone was going nuts about. Was a four or 344 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 3: five seven, eric All would have licked him. And again, 345 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 3: the route running, the ball skills. We have seen this 346 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 3: going back a couple of years. The only reason he 347 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 3: felt the way he did and in the pre draft 348 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 3: process there wasn't more talk about him. It's because of 349 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 3: that back injury that ended his career at Michigan. There 350 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 3: was a disagreement about whether he should shut it down 351 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 3: that season and rock for that thirt That's what ends 352 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 3: up leading to his transfer goes to Iowa. 353 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: If you're gonna go anywhere you go to tight end, 354 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: you leave Michigan. If you're gonna leave Michigan for any 355 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: program as a tight end, Iowa is the one. 356 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 3: And if they're attracted to you, Yeah, that's the one 357 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 3: position you could trust the Iowa City coaching staff to identify. 358 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 3: And like I said, he was doing so well at 359 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 3: the beginning of the season and then the torn ACL 360 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 3: I'm comfortable enough with that back into the a CL 361 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 3: with modern technology that doesn't concern me at all. The 362 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 3: back injury though, it seems as though he all was 363 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 3: the one who elected for it and there was no 364 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 3: one else who would shut him down that season. So 365 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 3: because of that and then because he comes back the 366 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 3: next season, I'm making a situational assumption, of course, looking 367 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 3: into the black box of his medicals which they don't 368 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 3: release to us, that it's it doesn't crazy elevate his 369 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 3: risk at the NFL level, and obviously that's what the 370 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 3: Bengals have told us. Their read is on it by 371 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 3: taking them where they did, but big time sleeper Eric Hall, 372 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 3: and at a position, by the way, we've been crying 373 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 3: out in the last couple of years for the Bengals 374 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 3: to take the pass catching monster at tight end for 375 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 3: Jie Burrow. They did it here at his sticker price 376 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 3: discon with a guy where if his body doesn't betray 377 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 3: him Eric All is going to be a star in 378 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 3: the NFL. 379 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: All right, last tight end I want to hit you with, 380 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: and then we'll switch over to wide receivers. Ben Sennett, 381 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,239 Speaker 1: I gotta love a guy named Senate finds his way 382 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: to Washington. You can't you can't make it any better 383 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: than that. Washington did sign zach Ertz, but Logan Thomas 384 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: is gone and there's just no other threats on the roster, 385 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: and zach Ertz is at the bitter end of his career. 386 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 3: I believe, so maybe Ertz holds him off for. 387 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: A year, but it feels like Senate's a guy that 388 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: by this time next year is going to be ready 389 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: to explode. 390 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 3: And then Jayden. 391 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: Daniels will be a year another year in as a starter, 392 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: and you can really project for a pretty cool twenty 393 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: twenty five for him, for sure, six foot four, two 394 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty pounds, ninety seven percentile athlete, eerily similar 395 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: in all those things, including the specific test to Sam 396 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: Laporta from last class. To me, he's like ninety five 397 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 1: percent ninety three percent version of Sam Laporta. Games are 398 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: very similar. You can play him inline stud blocker who 399 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: absolutely gets after I think he's number two in this 400 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: class in terms of that from the metrics last year 401 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: and then the receiving utility, and in particular I thought, 402 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: well projected, you know, you have the athleticism, you have 403 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: the idea of how to run the route. He has 404 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 1: really good hands. 405 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 3: But what I like for the projection to the NFL 406 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 3: is we talk about a lot with the quarterbacks JJ 407 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 3: McCarthy and Drake May about how they were so good 408 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 3: ten to nineteen yards down the field between the hashes, 409 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 3: in the intermediate range. How well that projects the NFL. 410 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 3: We so rarely talk about that though with receivers and 411 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 3: tight ends. Ben Sennett destroys people in that range down 412 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 3: the field ten to nineteen in the intermediate between the hashes. 413 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 3: That's where a metric ton of his usage came in college. 414 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 3: Then once he catches the ball there he becomes the 415 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 3: tackle breaking berserker. That's where it was akin to Sam 416 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 3: Laporta for me in terms of that, I think the 417 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 3: name where it's going to be evolkedmore in Washington now 418 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 3: that he's going there is Chris Cooley. I think who 419 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 3: he's going to remind him of. But yeah, he's going 420 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 3: to force his way onto the field one way or 421 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 3: another the first season, maybe not the full snaps with him, 422 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 3: but I think, you know, with jayde Daniels's evaluation, so 423 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 3: good throwing down the field, such a good scrambler. We 424 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 3: had talked about how in the LSU offense they didn't 425 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 3: throw into that sector. I was just talking about quite 426 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 3: as much. Ben Fennett, I think is being brought in 427 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 3: to make Jaden a little more comfortable throwing over the 428 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 3: middle the hashes at the NFL level. 429 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: We'll take a quick break when we come back. Let's 430 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: go to the wide receivers, beginning with Keon Coleman, who 431 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: drops into Buffalo.

Look in the show notes you can 435 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: get our Discord channel show notes right here in the 436 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: show notes you can get to a Discord channel with 437 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: a link there, and you can join our conversations about 438 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: each episode and everything fantasy football related. Let's go to 439 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. Keon Coleman drops in. Was it 440 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 1: pick two of the second round? First the second round, 441 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: first pick of the second round, Keon Coleman, Buffalo. This 442 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: is obviously turned into a position of great need for 443 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: them with Stefan Diggs gone, gave Davis gone, They're really 444 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: rebooting the spot, not a lot of competition. Coleman walks 445 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: in is the probable starter week one here, and he's 446 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: got a great quarterback to throw them the ball. So 447 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: let's you know, Coleman's not a speed guy, so you know, 448 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, Josh Allen's got the big, 449 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: big arm, so I don't know if that's going to 450 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: be like bombs away. But you know, Gabe Davis was 451 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: a speed guy and it never came together in a 452 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: way that materially helped fantasy players. So what do you 453 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: think about this landing spot for Keon Coleman and Buffalo. 454 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 3: I love this landing spot for ke On Coleman in Buffalo. 455 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 3: You not only walk into that starting spot on the 456 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 3: boundary in a good offense, but it's his stylistically his game. 457 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 3: It fits so well with Josh Allen. The thing I 458 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 3: was concerned about with Coleman is that he would go 459 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 3: into like a timing rhythm type offense where they would 460 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 3: ask him to try to do stuff in the intermediate area. 461 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 3: That's the part of the game where he struggles with 462 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 3: Last year PFF he was zero percent out in separation rate. Wow. 463 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 3: Keon Coleman doesn't care if you are in his kitchen 464 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 3: when the ball is coming, because generally it is down 465 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 3: the field. And this is where you know, It's funny 466 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 3: when people on Twitter at he ran them four to 467 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 3: six one at the combine were like, he's not athletic. 468 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: I was just chuckling. It's it's like a kid who 469 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 3: was on Tom Izzo's basketball team at Michigan State two 470 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 3: years ago isn't athletic? Right? Are you kidding me? You know? 471 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 3: And I saw him so often hurtle defenders after the catch, 472 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 3: he jumps out of the gym, and that is the 473 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 3: utility with him down the field and with Josh Allen 474 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 3: in particular, That's what's gonna play up a comment about 475 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 3: him last year. At the beginning of the season, he 476 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 3: was doing tremendous He lit up LSU one hundred and 477 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 3: twenty two yards three touchdowns, lit up Clems in eighty 478 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 3: six yards two touchdowns. That through September and October, he 479 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 3: was doing great. That's when Keyon Coleman suffered an injury 480 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 3: that the cause him to miss a game. Then he 481 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 3: comes back, he wasn't one hundred percent. Then Jordan Travis 482 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 3: gets injured, and that brought in quarterbacks that should not 483 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 3: have been on a Power five field or maybe even 484 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 3: a G five field, and so what ended up happening. 485 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 3: People look at his stats and they think he was disappointing. 486 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 3: Last season. Key On Coleman got eighty seven targets. Only 487 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 3: fifty five of those were chartered as catchable because of 488 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 3: all the bad targets that he got in November when 489 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 3: these guys were on the field that shouldn't have been. 490 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 3: Of those fifty five targets, Keon Coleman caught fifty of them. 491 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 3: Eleven went for touchdowns, twenty eight others went for first downs. Dang, 492 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 3: and he's now about to go from these flotsome guys 493 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 3: after Jordan Travis got injured to playing with Josh Allen, 494 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 3: who is again the perfect stylistic fit for his game. 495 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 3: You chuck it up to Keon cole It's a rebound thing. Yeah, 496 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 3: that's what that kid is done, Knox since he was 497 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 3: a kid. That's all he does iley higher than you. 498 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 3: It's full extension because it's just the box out thing 499 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 3: with basketball, it's all it is downfield. If it's only 500 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 3: one guy on Keon Coleman, he is getting higher. He's 501 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 3: getting up to that ball and he doesn't drop it either, 502 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 3: as he has really good hands. This is a really 503 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 3: good fit. Let's go to a player who is really fast. 504 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: Troy Franklin ends up in Denver currently going off the 505 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: board his pick twenty one and non super flex rookie drafts, 506 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: I should mention Kean Coleman going his pick eleven right 507 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: now in non super flex rookie drafts for Troy Franklin 508 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 1: gets teamed up with this college quarterback Bonix. I don't 509 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: think that means very much. I mean, I think you 510 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: gain a little a little out of that. You get 511 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: in a little chemistry gain, but not a ton. Jerry 512 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: Judy's departure opens up reps for somebody. 513 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 3: But is it. 514 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: Franklin right away? What about Marvin Mims? I mean they 515 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: put second world equity into Marvin Mims one year ago? 516 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: What about free agent Josh Reynolds has proven he can 517 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: be a contributor. Franklin's viewed as a pretty raw project 518 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: who might need some time in coaching. But you know, 519 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: we love his speed, we love the deep separation, we 520 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: love the big playmaking ability that he demonstrated regularly with 521 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: bon Nicks. 522 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 3: What are your thoughts of this landing spot. Yeah, Troy Franklin, 523 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 3: I was surprised that he fell down the board, and 524 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 3: he finds a really interesting landing spot here, both with 525 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 3: being reunited with Bonex's collegiate quarterback and then also Troy 526 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 3: Franklin's closest comparison in terms of this size and the 527 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 3: athleticism in the entire NFL. When you look, you pump 528 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 3: them into a mock draftable, you pump them into the 529 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 3: rat system. It's right. So it's it's kind of crazy 530 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 3: that those two guys are going to be duking it 531 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 3: out for reps. And then obviously Reynolds is involved with 532 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 3: that as you are going to see Troy Franklin on 533 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 3: on the field in year one, and he absolutely out 534 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 3: of those three guys fighting for two spots, could win 535 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 3: one of the starting spots. Immediately he got the NFL 536 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 3: was punitive with Troy Franklin because he's skinny. I mean, 537 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 3: that's what it is. Six six, but he's a ninetieth 538 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 3: percentile athlete, extremely productive at Oregon three point three two 539 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 3: yards per route run last year, and he wins at 540 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 3: all three levels. Now, of course, with bo Nicks, there 541 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 3: was a lot of screen passes being thrown to the outside. 542 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 3: At least with that, Troy Franklin got to show that 543 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 3: he can manufacture yards after the catch, including breaking tackles, 544 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 3: which was impressive for a player who is on the 545 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 3: skinnier side. But in the instances where he was allowed 546 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 3: to go downfield, I saw a better route runner than 547 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 3: he was given credit for this process. To me, he 548 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 3: is a better prospect than the round four early round 549 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 3: four price tag that was put on him. And I 550 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 3: like Troy Franklin as a fantasy asset sleeper kind of guy. 551 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: Currently going off the board pick twenty one in non 552 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: super flex rookie drafts. Next Lad McConkie, who did go 553 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: second pick of the second round, he goes. He currently 554 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: going off the board pick eight in non super flex 555 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: rookie drafts. He lands with the Chargers. Now, the Chargers 556 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: passed on the leak neighbors, which ended up resetting a 557 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: lot of that first round, I believe, and I think 558 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: that's it. I think that call ended up putting the 559 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: Vikings in a spot to get JJ McCarthy ultimately, but 560 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: they pass on neighbors instead they go offensive line. But 561 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: then they reinforce this position at the very top of 562 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: the second round, and you get a player who is 563 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: hyper productive at Georgia and Ladd McConkie, and he walks 564 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: into a wide receiver room where he's the best player. 565 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean, he's better than Josh Palmer, and it looks. 566 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 3: Like better than Quentin Johnson base on what we saw 567 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 3: last year. 568 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: Super slippery, lots of separation. I didn't see him breaking 569 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: tackles after the catch. I don't think he's that guy. 570 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: But mann does lad McConkie get open? And maybe it's 571 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 1: because brock Bauers was opening up a lot of space 572 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: for him, But man, when you watch Georgia games, you're like, 573 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: there's nobody. 574 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 3: Within five yards of lad McConkie. Ever, it seems like 575 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 3: that's what it is. That kid rolls out of bed 576 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 3: getting separation. Yeah, yeah, he's opened more than seven to eleven, 577 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 3: as the kids say. And he is the inverse of 578 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 3: Keon Coleman, who is the get separation in his downfield. 579 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 3: Now I'll jump in with Kean or with Lab McConkie. 580 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 3: It's I'm separating from you and we're going to make 581 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 3: ourselves available at the quarterback right away. I love this 582 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 3: fit with the Chargers. Lab mcconky became the wide receiver 583 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 3: one on that team the second that card was submitted. Now, 584 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 3: of course, it is the run first offense. That is 585 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 3: the ethos of those guys there. Now, so you're going 586 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 3: to run on the early downs. But the thing is, 587 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 3: and the reason that they were attracted to Lab mcconki, 588 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 3: it is not just to address their terrible wide receiver room. 589 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 3: It's also because of the constitution of their entire offensive philosophy, 590 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 3: which is, we get closer to the sticks on the 591 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 3: early downs. We need the efficiency guys in order to 592 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 3: convert on those third downs. Sure that is Lab McConkie. 593 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 3: He will get open. You know the third and fours, 594 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 3: they were in the third and fives. They're in the 595 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 3: third and six, is you lad McConkie won on one 596 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 3: and man coverage is shaking as dude, and then Herbert 597 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 3: hitting him on the hands and we're getting the first down. 598 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 3: One of the craziest stats that I pulled from this 599 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 3: past draft class. Last season, more than eighty percent of 600 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 3: the balls that left the quarterback's hands headed in mcconkey's direction. 601 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 3: I'm not talking chartered as catchable. I'm just talking peer 602 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 3: balls that were throwing his way eight more than eighty 603 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 3: percent of them became completions. And this was not on 604 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 3: the spoon fed targets that a guy like Malachi Corley got. 605 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 3: McConkie's twelve point two eight out was the exact same 606 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 3: as Malik neighbors Is. Last season, mcconkee finished with three 607 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 3: point twenty six yards per route run that was number 608 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 3: four among FBS prospects in this class. He plays on 609 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 3: the people were tossing, Oh, he's just a slot, He's 610 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 3: a slat. No, he wasn't. At Georgia, a team that 611 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 3: won two of the last three national titles. He played 612 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 3: eighty percent of his snaps on the boundary in a 613 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,959 Speaker 3: twelve personnel offense. And hello, he is now going to 614 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 3: a twelve personnel offense under Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman. 615 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 3: He is going to be an outside receiver. The guy 616 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 3: that I compared him to is Jordan Addison, and I 617 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 3: think you're going to see a similar sort of a deal. 618 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 3: The efficiency thing getting open and then he converts it 619 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 3: and by the way, four to three to nine gas 620 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 3: for the times where potentially they do want to send 621 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 3: him down the field a little bit. You can't just 622 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 3: always be trying to play up on him, cause he 623 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 3: can get around you if you try to take that 624 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 3: away and try to start jumping things. All right, Let's 625 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 3: turn our attention to the Patriots. Two receivers. 626 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: They put second and fourth round equity into the position, 627 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: a massive position in need. Jalen Polk and Javon Baker 628 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: currently going off the board his picks twenty three and 629 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: twenty eight. In non superflex rookie drafts, they have virtually 630 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 1: no competition. They can walk right in and potentially be 631 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: starters here. Drake May could be really good. I really 632 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,919 Speaker 1: like Drake May. Talk to me about these two. I know, 633 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: having talked to you, you like Baker. You're not as 634 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: high in Polk, even though they took him in reverse order. 635 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was super confused by the Pulk pick, and 636 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,959 Speaker 3: I think that they're gonna come to greatly regret passing 637 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 3: on lad mcconky in order to take Jaalen Pulk. The 638 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 3: last couple of years when Jalen McMillan and Jalen Polk 639 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 3: were on the field together at Washington Together there was 640 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 3: twenty games where that occurred where they both completed the 641 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 3: full game. Jalen McMillan in those games one hundred and 642 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 3: twenty four catches for sixteen hundred and fifty seven yards 643 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 3: and fourteen touchdowns. Jalen Pol in those games sixty eight 644 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 3: catches for twelve hundred and ten yards and nine touchdowns. 645 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,479 Speaker 3: Jalen Polk was always the clear and distant wide receiver 646 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 3: three when Jalen McMillan was on the field. The only 647 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 3: reason he ends up going at the top of the 648 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 3: second round was because Jalen McMillan suffered a knee injury 649 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 3: against Michigan State in September, which allowed Jalen Polk to 650 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 3: finally jump up into the wide receiver two role and 651 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 3: he went off in for the five next games where 652 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 3: they were playing these crappy Pac twelve defenses. But when 653 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 3: Jalen McMillan came back at the end of the season, 654 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 3: Jalen Polk came right back to where he came from 655 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 3: as a distant wide receiver three in fact, two of 656 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 3: the games down the stretch where they're play and keep 657 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: in mind Washington was going towards playing in the National 658 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 3: title game in full games, Jalen Polk that he played 659 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 3: in active zero catches in two of those games down 660 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 3: the stretch. Wow. The guy that I really like, though, 661 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 3: is Javon Baker. Javon Baker is the guy that I 662 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 3: think will quickly ascend to being the top option in 663 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 3: that Patriots passing offense. The wide receiving room there stings 664 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 3: and Jawn Baker can actually play. The reason he felt 665 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 3: on the board, it's not because he can't play, it's 666 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 3: because some of the evaluators have issues with his personality, 667 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 3: which he's not a bad kid, but he It reminds 668 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 3: me a lot of stuff on Diggs, another guy who 669 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 3: fell down the board, because you know, evaluators thought, is 670 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 3: your attitude in the way that you see yourself commeserate 671 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 3: to your ability on the field. 672 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: And something that has haunted Diggs to this day. 673 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 3: Exactly. Yeah, yes, And when things are going well, you 674 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 3: never hear about that saft with stuff on Diggs. When 675 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 3: it's not, that's when that sort of stuff starts coming out. 676 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 3: But Javon Baker ardently believes that he is the best 677 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 3: wide receiver in this class, you know. And last year 678 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 3: he was blowing the kiss at Oklahoma. Everyone gave him 679 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 3: crap about that, but that touchdown answer when of Oklahoma's touchdowns. 680 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 3: The Oklahoma is a twenty two point favorite in that game, 681 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 3: UCF was a failed two point conversion at the end 682 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 3: of the game for taking that game into overtime, potentially 683 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 3: upsetting Oklahoma. The only reason they had that shot was 684 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 3: because Javon Baker was going ballistic. Reason he blew the 685 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 3: kiss there at the end of the first half was 686 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 3: to tell him like, we're here. You're not getting rid 687 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 3: of me all this game, And that's why UCF almost 688 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 3: rose up in that game. Javon Baker can win it 689 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 3: all through levels of the field. The way they predominantly 690 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 3: use him in that offense was the deep shots. But 691 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 3: I saw that kid win short, win intermediate, the yards 692 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 3: after the catch when he does the quarterbacks, he had 693 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 3: a UCF. We're not so good at hitting him on 694 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 3: the hands in space, but he can do that stuff. 695 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 3: And then the release package with him is crazy, very 696 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 3: very dynamic, bullish on him, and I think he's better 697 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 3: than Jalen Polk and like I said, I think he's 698 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 3: going to be Patriots wide receiver one at some point 699 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 3: his rookie season. 700 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: All right, last guy, I want to talk about it 701 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: as we wrap up our perfect landing spots Guys that 702 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: dropped into positions. We really like Roman Wilson in Pittsburgh. 703 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: They put a third round equity into him. He's currently 704 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: going up to board pick twenty two in non superflex 705 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: rookie drafts. You know, Dante Johnson now gone as we 706 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, and whether it's Russell Wilson or justin fields, 707 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: he should have decent quarterbacking. Maybe he's better than Kenny 708 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: Pickett level quarterbacking anyway in Pittsburgh. What do you think 709 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: of Roman Wilson in Pittsburgh? 710 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 3: Huge fan, great landing spot and draft day bargain on 711 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 3: his price point. What Roman Wilson is not as an 712 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 3: outside receiver just because of the size five ten, But 713 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 3: he's bursty, he has the speed and he makes plays downfield. 714 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 3: He also has tremendous hands. One drop, zero fumbles as 715 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 3: the wide receiver one on last year's title team after 716 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 3: two drops and zero fumbles the year before and this 717 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 3: is with usage that went down the field with him. 718 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 3: It was not spoon fed stuff. And here's something to 719 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 3: keep in mind with that. I this should have been 720 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 3: talked about a lot more during the pre draft process. 721 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 3: They talk about his frame so much, but they never 722 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 3: brought this up. Visa Vive the no drops with him ever. 723 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 3: In an odd genetic quirk, Roman Wilson had what quirk, 724 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 3: an odd groenetic quirk. I don't know what that means. 725 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 3: He has enormous hands, oh, especially for his size. Roman 726 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 3: Wilson's hands are get this bigger than Roma dunesays. They 727 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 3: are one eighth of an inch smaller than Marvin Harrison's 728 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 3: and they are the same size as Xavier Lagetze, that 729 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 3: guy's receivers that got huge. Yeah. And Roman Wilson never 730 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 3: flubs balls, So I feel like that is something that 731 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 3: should have been discussed more with him. Very very good 732 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 3: out runner, very very reliable last year on the field, 733 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 3: number one in the FBS and expected points ated per 734 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 3: route run. He was also top ten nationally in quarterback 735 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 3: rating when targeted. All right, love it. 736 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: Do you have any sleepers that we haven't addressed that 737 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: you feel like guys who just dropped into really nice 738 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: landing spots that you also want to you want to 739 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: chip in here. 740 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 3: I want to go totally off to grie with the 741 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 3: guy that wasn't even drafted. If we can go at 742 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 3: the end of the deepest of weeds, Jalen Cocher went 743 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 3: to the Carolina Panthers. He's coming out of holy Cross. 744 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 3: I was stunned that that kid did not get drafted. 745 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 3: I have to assume that that's the FCS say what position. 746 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 3: I don't know who this kid is. Jalen Coker wide receiver, okay, 747 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 3: and he's heading into a room where it is wide open. 748 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 3: And and to me qualitatively, I did not have him 749 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 3: ranked too far behind where I had Jonathan Mingo on 750 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 3: my board last year. Wow, Jonathan Male like in the 751 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 3: high eighties. I had Jalen Coker in the one twenties, 752 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 3: so pretty close. And the rest of the wide receivers 753 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 3: there that are backups in Carolina, they're just flats them. 754 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 3: Jalen Coker's ball skills are incredible. He has the laid hands, 755 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 3: he doesn't drop anything. He spears things outside of his frame, 756 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 3: very very good with and while he lacks the downtown wheels, 757 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 3: he ran somewhere in the mid four fives, which you 758 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 3: can see that on film. He is super bursty and 759 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 3: the acceleration, including in and out of the route breaks. 760 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 3: That is also something, interestingly enough, that showed up in 761 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 3: his testing. Even with the mid four to five speed, 762 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 3: he had the same ten year split as mister at 763 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 3: done Mitchell, who really four three to three? Wow, that's right? 764 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 3: All right? Yeah, So Jalen Cocher, watch out for him. 765 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 3: I think he's making that Carolina Panthers teams. And for 766 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 3: any of our deep Dynasty listeners out there, make sure 767 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 3: you grab that guy at the end of your draft 768 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 3: and stashum. All right, I love it. 769 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: That's uh, that's kind of stuff that we that we 770 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: love to hear. That would have been a little bit 771 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,879 Speaker 1: of what you would have been saying had we done 772 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: this segment a year ago, you'd a bit you'd have 773 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: thrown in Pukinakua at the end at the end. 774 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 3: Of our discussion. All right, you'd have brought him to 775 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:47,959 Speaker 3: art in the last round. 776 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: That's right, And we're so we're uh, we're going with 777 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: Cocher as our dart throw this year. Thanks for listening, everybody. 778 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: We'll be back next week with players who we like 779 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: but don't love the landing spot.
