00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Hello everybody. Welcome into the Fantasy Pros Football Podcast. I'm

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Warmley, joined today by Pat Fitzmorris and by Heath

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: Cummings of CBS Sports Heat. Thank you so much for

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: making the time to join us today.

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: Really happy to be here with you guys. It's the

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 2: most wonderful time of the year, right we're getting ready

7
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 2: for fantasy drafts. None of our picks or calls are

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: wrong yet, it's just an exciting time.

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're definitely not being too negative. We definitely weren't

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: just before the show talking about how nice they do

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: this to have players you can drop early in the year, Yes,

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,639
Speaker 1: as opposed to thinking about, hey what if they hit,

13
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: So we're talking about players from a positive angle today.

14
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: I feel like I've done a lot of, you know,

15
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: players who are likely to bust, players who are overvalued

16
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: type of shows lately. Today we are doing the opposite.

17
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: We're doing top targets in every round. We're going to

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: go fourteen rounds deep, so we're gonna hit a lot

19
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: of different players today, but our top targets in each

20
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: round of drafts, we're gonna be going kind of based

21
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: on the consensus rankings, which you can find at fantasypros

22
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: dot com slash rankings. All of our twenty twenty five

23
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: consensus rankings and years are there, and you can find

24
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: different scoring formats. We're kind of going with the half PPR,

25
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, baseline view, So if your ADP is different

26
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: on whatever site you're using, you know, that's fine. But

27
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: we're going based off the rankings who our favorite players

28
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: are in each round. Fitz, how are you feeling here

29
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: mid July, just a couple weeks away from August?

30
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: Feeling really good. Great to have Heath on the show.

31
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 3: By the way, we had not ever done a show

32
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: together for years and years, and all of a sudden

33
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: we're doing two together in the span of like five

34
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 3: or six weeks, which is pretty cool. Yeah, I'm feeling great,

35
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 3: Like we are right on the verge of you know

36
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 3: that crazy time when their drafts every weekend and you know,

37
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 3: people are asking you to grade their drafts and hitting

38
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: you up with a million pre draft questions. So just

39
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 3: enjoying that lull before the storm.

40
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: It's a great couple weeks stretch where we're really excited.

41
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: We're thinking about fantasy again. We're talking drafts, Scott fish

42
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: Bowl drafts, are going on, but it's not overwhelming quite yet.

43
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: We're not in that late August like real surge yet,

44
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: so it's a very fun, fun few weeks here.

45
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: We haven't had our first depressing training camp injury yet either,

46
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: so we're probably just days away from that, so enjoy

47
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: it while.

48
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: It lasts worst part of the summer for Sure's let's

49
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: dive in. We're gonna start with round one. Like I said,

50
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: go all the way through round fourteen. You have each

51
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: pick player that you guys like in this round and

52
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: obviously some of these earlier rounds. There's gonna be a

53
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: lot of players that we like, but you guys are

54
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: giving us your top targets here. He as the guest.

55
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: We will start with you. Who is your player in

56
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: round one?

57
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, looking at the consensus rankings, the guy that

58
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, I like him more than consensus

59
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: would be Ced Lamb, and it really has. It has

60
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: something to do with Lamb and the floor and upside

61
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: that he's shown When Dak Prescott's been healthy, He's basically

62
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: always been over eighteen and a half Fantasy points per game.

63
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: When Deck's been healthy, he's shown us the twenty two

64
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 2: point upside when Deck's been healthy. And then the other

65
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: part of it is and you'll see this as we

66
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: go through the next few rounds. When I look at

67
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: consensus rankings or ADP right now, a lot of my

68
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: favorite players in each round are running backs, which is

69
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: an uncomfortable position to be in a format that really

70
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: everybody wants to get those wide receivers. So it's really

71
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 2: made me kind of push the wide receivers in round

72
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: one up a little bit more comfortable starting with one

73
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: of them to give me the freedom to take as

74
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 2: many running backs as I want in the next couple

75
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: of rounds.

76
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: And I'm actually glad you mentioned like thinking about some

77
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: of these future rounds. We are not, to clarify, building

78
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: a team, and that's not what you're doing here. Of course,

79
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: this is just you are kind of pushing him up

80
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: because of the way you feel about guys later. But

81
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: we are not building out a team. So if these

82
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: guys say, like, oh, a tight end is my favorite

83
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: pick in the next ten rounds, you know that they're

84
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: not going to do that. But that's that would be

85
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: okay theoretically because we're just going with our favorite targets here.

86
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, CD Lamb. Is he somebody heath that you

87
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: see as I mean, I would assume you have Jamar

88
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: Chase number one like everybody else, But is he wide

89
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: receiver two like ahead of Justin Jefferson for you?

90
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: He is my wide receiver too, and I've actually got

91
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: him almost a full tier higher in terms of projection

92
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: than I do Jefferson. He's my number three player overall.

93
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: I'd go Chase than Bijon, then CD Lamb. But yeah,

94
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: I just think the addition of George Pickens seems to

95
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: have scared a few people about Well, maybe CD won't

96
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: see as many targets. Not just not the type of

97
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: guy that George Pickens has been. He is a very

98
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: efficient wide receiver on a per target basis. He can

99
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 2: make huge explosive plays, but he's not somebody who's going

100
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 2: to demand eight targets per game. I think he maybe

101
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: opens up the underneath for Lamb just a little bit,

102
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: makes the offense overall better, but doesn't necessarily impact Lamb's

103
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: target share very much.

104
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: And Fitz Lamb isn't your pick here in round one,

105
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: but it looks like you also have him as a

106
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: top three player in your rankings on the site.

107
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: I do in any league with a requirement to start

108
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: three wide receivers, I feel the same as Heath Lambs

109
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: my wide receiver too, my number three overall, and I

110
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: pretty much agree with Heath's take on pickins, like I

111
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: don't think it.

112
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 2: Hurts at all.

113
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: So who is the player you're going with in round one.

114
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 3: Oh worm, it's Bijon and you and I did a

115
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 3: short form video about my favorite early round picks a

116
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 3: week or two ago. I believe I mentioned Ashton genty

117
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: as my favorite first rounder on that show, but I

118
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 3: told you I chose Genti because you didn't have to

119
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 3: pick early in the round to get him. But my

120
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: real preference, as I think I mentioned to you then,

121
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: would be Beijon. I generally like hero running back roster belts,

122
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 3: and Bijeon would be my first choice of Heroes to

123
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: put on the cape for me. Eighteen hundred and eighty

124
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: seven yards from scrimmage and fifteen touchdowns last season, fifty

125
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: eight catches his rookie year, sixty one last year. Bijon

126
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 3: hasn't missed a game in his first two seasons, and

127
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: unless you count the infamous Headache game in twenty twenty three,

128
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 3: when Arthur Smith pulled him after one carry. But Bijon

129
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: just he passes every eye test. He's fast, powerful, has

130
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: really good patients and vision. Falcons played a fast pace

131
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: and they have a strong offensive line. They're just no

132
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: holes in Bijeon's profile.

133
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 1: Heath, do you see a case for Beijeon as number

134
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: one pick in drafts or do you think Chase is

135
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: very clearly in that spot and Beijon is just number two.

136
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: I think that you pet you put Chase first because

137
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: there's more separation for me between Chase and the wide

138
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 2: receivers that you're going to find in round two than

139
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: there is Bijon and the running backs that you're going

140
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 2: to find in that range or even in round three.

141
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: It's weird because I don't actually have Bijon as my

142
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: number one running back in the projections. He is in

143
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: the rankings because I think one of the things that

144
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: Pat pat mentioned, he is probably the safest pick in

145
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 2: Fantasy no injury history, to be concerned with skill set

146
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: that we love and an offense that we know is

147
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 2: going to run through him. There's not that many workhorse

148
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: running backs left in the NFL, especially work horse running

149
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: backs that are not old or injury prone, and he's

150
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 2: all of those things just quickly.

151
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: He actually before we move on round one, because Fits

152
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: mentioned Ashton Gent as a player he picked who maybe

153
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: more accessible to people like you have to have an

154
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: early pick to get Bijon, you can get genty later.

155
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: Do you like that as a back half of the

156
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: first round target?

157
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: I absolutely love it. I almost chose genty as my

158
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: favorite book in this round. I just didn't want to

159
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,239
Speaker 2: have seven running backs to start the show. But yes,

160
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 2: I think he is also one of those workhorse running

161
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 2: backs who is young and is not an injury concern.

162
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: I would not be really that surprised if fashion Gentyz

163
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: just goes out and scores more Fantasy points than any

164
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: other running back.

165
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: Let's get around too, Fits. I'll start with you on

166
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: this one. Who do you have for.

167
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: Us another Falcon Drake London. Now I wouldn't want to

168
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: double up with two players from the same team in

169
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: the first two runs, but there's really no danger of

170
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: that here. Bijon is going to be a top three

171
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: pick in every draft, and London is probably not going

172
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: to slip past the middle of round two. London just

173
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: fully arrived last year one hundred catches, one two hundred

174
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: and seventy one yards and nine touchdowns on a whopping

175
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty eight targets. Only Jamar Chase and

176
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: Elite Neighbors saw more targets than London did last year.

177
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: And what's nice is that London really clicked with Michael

178
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: PENNOCKX Junior when Pennox took over as as the starter

179
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: late in the season. So in three Pennock starts, London

180
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 3: was targeted thirty nine times and had twenty two catches

181
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: for three hundred fififty two yards and two touchdowns. I

182
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: think London belongs on the same tier as Malik Neighbors,

183
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas Junior. I'man Ross, Saint Brown, Nico Collins, maybe

184
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: even Pukin Nakua, but London is typically drafted last among

185
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: that group. I think he's just a fabulous second round pick.

186
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: Hef Do you see London in that tier that fits

187
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: just mentioned or it is he little bit lower for you?

188
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: He's one tier lower for me. But I think that

189
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: there's no doubt he has the upside to prove that

190
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: he belongs in that tier. I've been a little bit

191
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: more skeptical of the Michael Pinnock's splits because they are

192
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: such a small sample size, because it was against terrible defenses,

193
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: and because Darnel Muoni missed one of those games. Right,

194
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: But I believe in the talent. I'm not of London.

195
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 2: I'm not quite as sure about the talent of the

196
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 2: quarterback or how great the passing game's going to be.

197
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: If Pinnis is good, then yes, London deserves to be

198
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 2: in that range.

199
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm excited to get to your player here for Ron two, Heath,

200
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: because I was looking at the CBS sportsve rankings earlier

201
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: today and you guys are all much higher, especially you

202
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: on this player than we are in the expert consensus

203
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: rankings on Fantasy Pro. So who do you have for

204
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: us a round two?

205
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: So I have this thing about my projections, where for

206
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: the most part, unless we have a long injury history,

207
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: I just project guys to play seventeen games. And if

208
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: I project hn for seventeen Devon Han for seventeen games,

209
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: I project him to be the highest scoring running back

210
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: in fantasy football this year. Now there's an asterisk next

211
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: to that because you also maybe have to project his

212
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: quarterback to play seventeen games. Also, he averaged more than

213
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: twenty three Fantasy PPR Fantasy points per game twin Tua

214
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: was healthy last year. I projected him to lead all

215
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 2: running backs in catches, in targets, and in receiving yards.

216
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 2: He had a massive role in the passing game last year,

217
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: and that was with John hu Smith having a big role.

218
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: They've replaced John hu Smith with Darren Waller, which whatever

219
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: Darren Waller may have left, I don't think it's going

220
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 2: to be those targets close to the line of scrimmage

221
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: where they asked him to run with the football like

222
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 2: a running back. I think we may even see a

223
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 2: Chan's target share go up a little bit from last year.

224
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: He showed the ability last year to play seventeen games.

225
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: He's one of the most explosive running backs in all

226
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: of football. And again this is where the projections diverge

227
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: from the rankings, because I do want to take Jon

228
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: ahead of him because Bijeon's a much safer pick, and

229
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 2: round one's the place where I really worry more about that.

230
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 2: But I don't think there's any reason at all that

231
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: a chance should fall to around two. He's a surefire

232
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 2: top ten pick.

233
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: For me, so he's obviously you have to pick him

234
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: in a round two for the sake of our argument

235
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: because of where he falls in ECR. Where would you

236
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: take him? Is he you said top ten? Do you

237
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: have a specific spot?

238
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: I've taken him fifth in a couple of drafts recently fifth.

239
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, Fitz, you have long been a big Devin

240
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: a Chan fan as well, So I don't know if

241
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: you're quite as optimistic as Heath, but I assume you

242
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: like the pick.

243
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: I do certainly a top fifteen, and I don't think

244
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 3: first round is crazy at all. And you know, I

245
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 3: wondered if there might be some pullback on the passing

246
00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: game usage if the Dolphins try to reinstore the principle

247
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 3: of verticality in their passing game since it really disappeared

248
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: and we saw Tyreek Hill and Jalen Wattle fall off

249
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 3: last year. But like any concerns about a Chan's target

250
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 3: drop off were sort of laid to rest by the

251
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: John hu Smith trade. Like, now a Chan is going

252
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 3: to consolidate those short area targets and have a massive

253
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: share of those for the Dolphins, And like, I'm not

254
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 3: worried that he might not be the goal lineback. Fine,

255
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: give Ali Gordon the goal line carries, but who's going

256
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: to be in there when the Dolphins are at the

257
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: four or five yard line or the three yards It's

258
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: probably still going to be a Chan and he can

259
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: absolutely score from there, So not worried about that. I

260
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: think what we see from a Chan this year could

261
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: look a lot like early career Alvin Kamara, where maybe

262
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: he doesn't get to one thousand rushing yards, but has

263
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 3: like eighty receptions, six hundred receiving yards, you know, and

264
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: collectively double digit touchdowns.

265
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: This might be a weird thing to say considering a

266
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: guy like Christian mccaffre. You just missed you know, so

267
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: the last season is inside the top two rounds, But

268
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: is a Chan the riskiest guy in the top two

269
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: rounds because it's not just him staying healthy. It is

270
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: like Heath just alluded to his quarterback needing to stay

271
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: healthy as well. Does that added risk play into your

272
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: ranking of in fits?

273
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 3: Those guys were so the backups were so bad last

274
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: year and now I mean Zach Wilson the much yeah,

275
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 3: also bad. Like I'm not gonna try to spin him

276
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: up into a you know, something better than he is,

277
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: but I do think it would be non disastrous if

278
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 3: Zach Wilson had to play some games.

279
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: Okay, that's the first time that sentence has ever been said.

280
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: Let's go around three. You've got a running back here,

281
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: and I will tell you this is also the player

282
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: that Fitz would have picked if you didn't pick him already.

283
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chase Brown. I'll be honest. I went into this offseason,

284
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: like a lot of people have with DeAndre Swift, just

285
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: thinking well, they're going to add somebody else that makes

286
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: me feel worse about him. I couldn't believe. I mean,

287
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: I didn't think coming into the league that Chase Brown

288
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: was the type of running back that teams would give

289
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: an eighty percent snapshare week after week after week and

290
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: give him twenty touches a game. Basically, that's what the

291
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: Bengals did in the second half of last year, and

292
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: they didn't add anybody this offseason. That scares me even

293
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: a little bit. This will be one of the best

294
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: offenses and this is a true workhorse running back in

295
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: that offense. And so I think you get that in

296
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: round three. You feel like you just received a gift.

297
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and fits you can chair your other player, but

298
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: obviously you also wanted to pick Chase Brown here, so

299
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: a strong agreement on this player.

300
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally agree with Heith. And maybe Chase Brown is

301
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: not getting ninety percent snap shares anymore. Maybe someone from

302
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 3: among Zach Moss, samajp Ryan and you know, my personal

303
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 3: favorite TJAJ Brooks steps in a steel a few of

304
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: the carries, but like Chase Brown is still going to

305
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: be a workhorse, and you just have to love that.

306
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 3: The Bengals offense is so consolidated, and you know, it's

307
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: this potent offense that really only goes through three guys

308
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: plus the quarterback.

309
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's I mean, I didn't sit down and

310
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: put together a list like this, but I can't imagine

311
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: the list is very long of running backs who are

312
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: very clear workhorse number one backs in what is very

313
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: clearly expected to be a top five scoring offense, you know,

314
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: top ten. To make the longer list, like I, that

315
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: list cannot be very long. To get a guy like

316
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: that in round three is really exciting, So you know,

317
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: like agree him across the board. I guess there's not

318
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: really much I can add to that one. But Fitz,

319
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: you actually went with one of his teammates in round

320
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: three to go in a different directionaire.

321
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 3: I did, and like Chase Brown, who is a second rounder,

322
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: who we've got is a third rounder in ECR, I

323
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 3: think T Higgins should probably be going late in the

324
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: second round. Two getting him in the third is a

325
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 3: really good value. I just I think this Bengals passing

326
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: game is going to cook this year because, well, because

327
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: it's really good. Joe Burrow is one of the best

328
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: care passers in the game, and because the Cincinnati defense

329
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: is likely to be really bad, so the Bengals are

330
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: gonna have to put up a lot of points to

331
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: win games. There are three good ways to tap into

332
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: this passing game. You could draft Jamar Chase, but that

333
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: requires you to have the one on one or maybe

334
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: the one oh two. You could draft Burrow, but he's

335
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: kind of expensive for a quarterback who doesn't run much.

336
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: Or you can draft T Higgins in the third and

337
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 3: I know some people don't like drafting a guy who

338
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: isn't the top receiver on his own team, but I

339
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 3: think Higgins will outperform a lot of teams number one receivers.

340
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: He scored ten touchdowns in twelve games last year and

341
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: was pacing for almost thirteen hundred yards. He missed five

342
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: games last year, also missed five games in twenty twenty three.

343
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: But the perception of injury risk is why Higgins is

344
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 3: there in the third round and not the second. He's

345
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 3: He's really good. He's averaged nine yards per target for

346
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: his career, almost two yards per route run. He's just

347
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 3: a fabulous receiver paired with one of the top two

348
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 3: pure passers in the game. The lowest yardage total for

349
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow in any of this full seasons it's four

350
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 3: four hundred and seventy five yards, and the fewest passing

351
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 3: touchdowns for Burrow in any of his full seasons thirty four.

352
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 3: And like, what if? I know Higgins has considered the

353
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 3: injury risk, but what if Chase were to miss any

354
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: time over the last three years, Chase has missed five games.

355
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 3: In those five games, Higgins has averaged one hundred and

356
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: two point two yards and twenty PPR points per game.

357
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: Heath, do you see this as assuming health limiting the

358
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: upside of your team if you're taking guy who's not

359
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: the number one target in his offense as early as

360
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: round three, or you with fits like the offense is

361
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: just so good it won't matter.

362
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: No. I think he inherently has upside at his cost,

363
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: because we are all factoring in not just the ten

364
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: missed games over the last two years, but the fact

365
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: that he's had a lot of partial games to a

366
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: lot of games he's left early that have kind of

367
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: really held down his per game stats, not just as

368
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: overall stats. And so with that being factored in, there's

369
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: the upside that T Higgins just plays seventeen games and

370
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: right there, you're getting a better player than what you drafted.

371
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: And I think that people do focus a little too

372
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: much on the time he's missed and not enough on

373
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: the contingent upside that fits talked about that if if

374
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 2: Jauar Chase missus time, T Higgins might be the number

375
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: one wide receiver in fantasy.

383
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: I'll have you go first here, but I will mention

384
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: that you also for the second consecutive round. Wanted to

385
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: pick the player that Heath will take.

386
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Heath stole him for me. He was Heath is

387
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 3: just being a rude guest, came into the house track

388
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 3: mode on the carpeting. No, but that's okay. Heath is

389
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 3: a great guy, so we'll forgive him. But yeah, So

390
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 3: it's Alvin Kamara for me, and I love him him

391
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 3: as a fourth rounder. He is only going that late

392
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 3: because people are worried that the Saints' offense is going

393
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 3: to be a dumpster fire, and it most likely will

394
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: be a dumpster fire, but with Kamara, I would encourage

395
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: people to warm their hands by the flames. He was

396
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 3: RB five in PPR points per game last year and

397
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 3: the Saints were not exactly an offensive juggernaut last year either.

398
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 3: Kamara always catches a ton of passes, and that is

399
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 3: probably going to be the case again since neither Tyler

400
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 3: Shuck nor Spencer Rattler are like these guys are going

401
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 3: to be eager to check down if they don't see

402
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: anything they like downfield. A few seconds after the snap

403
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 3: and the pass rush starts to close in on them.

404
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: So I think there's gonna be a lot of designed

405
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 3: dump offs to Kamara. I just I think he's a

406
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 3: value in the fourth round because what he can give

407
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: you as a pass catcher in addition to his eight

408
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 3: or nine hundred brushing.

409
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: Yards Heath Is this the right area for Kamara?

410
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

411
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: One percent. I don't like him here as much as

412
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 2: the guy I picked, But no, I think there's so

413
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: many reasons to just avoid the Saints. But if you're

414
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 2: going to draft one, this is the guy to do

415
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: it with because he is the security blanket for quarterbacks

416
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: that are very very much going to need security blankets.

417
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 2: I don't know that we get as much out of

418
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: him as a rusher as we have in the past,

419
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 2: but this team's gonna be playing from behind so often

420
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 2: that Kamara is going to have to be involved in

421
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: the passing game.

422
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: Who do you have here that you stole from Fits?

423
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go with ken Walker. And this one

424
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: is also, I guess a little bit polarizing because I

425
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: actually think he should be taken like mid round three,

426
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 2: and sometimes you see him fall all the way to

427
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 2: round five, He's had some injury concerns, he had some

428
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: real efficiency problems, but I think Kubiak fixes the rushing

429
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: efficiency of this offense, and they've made it very clear

430
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 2: that they want to run the ball a lot more

431
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 2: than they did in twenty twenty four. So I think

432
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 2: it's a run heavy system where Walker's the clear lead

433
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: running back, sharing passing downs and a little bit with

434
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 2: Zach Charbonnay, but he's definitely the one eight and the

435
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: explosi of ability he's shown in combination with the receiving

436
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: upside that he showed last year, I think really gives

437
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: him top twelve upside without a doubt.

438
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: This is one that his ranking in ECR I think

439
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: is even dragged down a little bit by folks that

440
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: are not here at Fantasy Pros because I know, like

441
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: Derek Brown is very big on Kenneth Walker. Fits obviously

442
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: wanted to pick him to like. As a team, I

443
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: think we are collectively pretty high on him. Also, Fits,

444
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: do you want to weigh in on why he would

445
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 1: have been your pick two?

446
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, in addition everything Heath mentioned, there is the

447
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 3: Kubiak Dennison combination coaching, with Clint Kubiak being the OC

448
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 3: and Rick Dennison being I think the run game coordinator.

449
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: That combination, well, at least Kubiak family, because going back

450
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 3: to Denver, it was Clint stad Gary as the Broncos

451
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: offensive coordinator under Mike Shanahan, and Rick Dennison was either

452
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 3: the O line coach or the run game coordinator, and

453
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 3: like that was the Terrell Davis Clinton Portis era and

454
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 3: they were always turning out big yardage. But after those guys,

455
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 3: it was dudes like Rubin Drones and Tatum Bell and

456
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: Mike Anderson having these one off great fantasy seasons and

457
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 3: it was because of that run game scheme, like it

458
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 3: was just gold no matter who was in the backfield.

459
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: And you know, not only that, but Kenneth Walker didn't

460
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: do much as a pass catchers for ast couple of years,

461
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 3: and then we saw a big spike in his passing

462
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: game usage last year, which is encouraging.

463
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: Let's got around five here, he Hooty have for us.

464
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: This is the guy that I talk about on every

465
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 2: podcast that I do. It seems like it's DeAndre Swift

466
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: who has really gotten a bad rap in the fantasy community. Mostly,

467
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: I would say because our expectations have been so sky

468
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: high two or three times for him, and he fails

469
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: to live up to those But what he has done

470
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 2: is be a top twenty four running back on a

471
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: per game basis. Every single year of his career, he's

472
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 2: shown us that borderline top twelve upside. People talk about

473
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: how Ben Johnson doesn't like DeAndre Swift, but the best

474
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 2: season of DeAndre Swift's career came when he was on

475
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 2: the same team that Ben Johnson was coaching. He was

476
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: when Jamal Williams was scoring all those touchdowns. DeAndre Swift

477
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: was finishing as a top sixteen running back in PPR

478
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 2: and full game basis on a per game basis. Another

479
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: team that everyone expected to bring somebody else in. It

480
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: was going to be Nick Chubb, or it was going

481
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: to be JK. Dobbins, or it was going to be

482
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 2: Mr n Hampton, and it was nobody. I think Ben

483
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: Johnson's pretty comfortable with DeAndre Swift as one of his

484
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: two running backs. Roshan Johnson's a great value also, But

485
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: what it feels like when you look at where he's

486
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 2: being drafted usually just outside of the top twenty four

487
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: running backs. We are drafting DeAndre Swift at the floor

488
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: that he's shown us over and over and over again,

489
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: and now you get a chance to also have the

490
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: upside of what we thought he could be earlier in

491
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: his career. I expected a big role in the passing game,

492
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 2: and I expect this bears offensive line and offensive philosophy

493
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: to be greatly improved from last year when he was

494
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 2: still a low end RB two.

495
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, just looking at his finishes, you know, five years

496
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: RB night t and RB twenty three, RB twenty two,

497
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: RB nineteen, RB eighteen. That's in HALFVPR scoring is just

498
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: like they you always talk about, like you learn in

499
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: size class scoring out the difference between accurate and precise.

500
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: He is precise. He is in the same area every

501
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: time every single season fits. You are roughly in line

502
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: with ECR on Swift. Ironically, Ericson and Debro, who aren't

503
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: on the show today, are both way lower on Swift,

504
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: so I'd be curious to get their opinion why they

505
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: disagree You're more along the lines with Heathier though.

506
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have moved him around pretty restlessly. I would

507
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: say I've moved him around probably more in my offseason

508
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 3: rankings than just about anyone else. I'm kind of conflicted

509
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: on him. Like, if you go to NFL Next Gen Stats,

510
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 3: they have this stat for running backs rushing yards over

511
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: expected rushing yards over expected per carry. DeAndre Swift rank

512
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: dead last in that category last year. I think he

513
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 3: was like minus zero point six y nine rushing yards

514
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 3: over expected per carry, so he was pretty far underwater.

515
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 3: But like, how much does that factor in what a

516
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 3: disaster the Bears offensive line was last year? And they

517
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: have completely overhauled the middle of that line in the

518
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 3: most impressive way possible, bringing in like three studs to

519
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 3: man the middle of the offensive line. So that's gonna help.

520
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson is going to help, and you know then

521
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 3: it's it's behind him Roshan who well might talk about

522
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 3: a little later, and uh Kyle Manangai a seventh round pick.

523
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean there is plausible upside for DeAndre Swift,

524
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 3: no question.

525
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: What they're actually in. Fits did you go in for

526
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: round five?

527
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: I went with DeVante Smith, And I'll be honest, I

528
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: did not love any of the fifth round options, but

529
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 3: DeVante Smith is one of the best route runners in

530
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 3: the game. He's dangerous After the catch, DeVante would have

531
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: had his third straight thousand yard season last year, if

532
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 3: he had missed four games, he scores touchdowns. He has

533
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 3: averaged nine point one yards per targets and one point

534
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 3: nine to two yards per route run for his career.

535
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 3: Those are outstanding numbers. And you know, again, people are

536
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 3: often reluctant to draft a player who's the number two

537
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 3: target on his own team, and you know, DeVante Smith

538
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: does have to share targets with aj Brown. But Smith

539
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 3: was ride receiver seventeen in PPR Fantasy points per game

540
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 3: last season, even though the Eagles were the run heaviest

541
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 3: team in the league. So Smith offers this sturdy floor

542
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 3: and we could get a high ceiling season from him

543
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 3: if the Eagles are forced to throw a little more

544
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: this year.

545
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: Heath with a guy like Smith kind of the same

546
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: thing as Higgins, right, you know, in a different sense.

547
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: But you're taking a guy who's not the number one

548
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: target on his offense. Do you like him in round five?

549
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 2: I'm just a little bit lower on this. I don't

550
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 2: like it though, because I think that everything that fits

551
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: said about Smith is accurate. I think he is an

552
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: exceptionally talented player. The problem is he plays in one

553
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: of like t Higgins is the second option in one

554
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 2: of the best pass offenses in the NFL. Davante Smith's

555
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 2: the best, and that's why he's going three rounds later.

556
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 2: I think they're great. Thing about Smith and the reason

557
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 2: that I rank him higher than his projection is that

558
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 2: he has been so good if either aj Brown or

559
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 2: Dallas Goddard is out. When both of those guys are healthy,

560
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 2: he's been a little bit of a bust that costs

561
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: most of the time, more of a wide receiver three

562
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: than a wide receiver two. We saw goddardt miss extensive

563
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: time last year, Brown missed a little time last year,

564
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 2: and so DeVante Smith finishes at the top twenty wide receiver.

565
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: It's good to have that type of contingent upside. I'd

566
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 2: rather wait just a little bit longer. But the thing

567
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: I like about drafting him is I know he's very good,

568
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 2: and who knows, maybe the Eagles throw just a little

569
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: bit more this year.

570
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be curious to see what the offense looks

571
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: like in general, just you know, the Super Bowl champion

572
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: every year, you see the brain drain, you see you know,

573
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: talented players go. Also, it's still a really, really good team,

574
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: but I'll be curious if maybe they are forced to

575
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: throw just a little bit more than they did last

576
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: year too, even if it's not their plan going in.

577
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to a round six here. Fitz will start

578
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: with you on this one.

579
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley, I think he can give you wide receiver

580
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 3: two numbers and a wide receiver three like. He's just

581
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: such an easy click for me in the sixth round.

582
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 3: Ridley has given us two straight thousand yard seasons after

583
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: missing the twenty twenty two season because of that gambling suspension.

584
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 3: He got to one thousand yards last season with Will

585
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 3: Levis and Mason Rudolph as his quarterbacks. Now he gets

586
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 3: to play with number one overall draft pick cam Ward,

587
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 3: and I know Ward is going to struggle at times

588
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 3: most rookie quarterbacks do, but he's an aggressive downfield thrower,

589
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 3: and he's more accurate than either Levis or Rudolph. There's

590
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 3: also very little target competition for Ridley. I just I

591
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,479
Speaker 3: think there's a great chance Ridley sees significantly more than

592
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: the one hundred and twenty targets he saw last year.

593
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: Heith Calvin Ridley is sixty ninth overall wide receiver thirty

594
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: two in HALFVPR. Is that too high to low or

595
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: just right.

596
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: That's pretty much just right for me, don't. I don't necessary.

597
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: I think there's upside with where you're taking him, and

598
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 2: there's risk, and it really just comes down to can

599
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: this Titans offense with a quarterback look a little bit

600
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: more competent, And if it does, then I think Ridley

601
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 2: probably pays off just a little bit at value. He's

602
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 2: one of those guys that I just haven't I don't

603
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 2: have a lot of takes on. I think he's a

604
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 2: round six pick. He's a number three wide receiver who

605
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: has huge upside on a given week.

606
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: You have got one of the rookie running backs here

607
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: in around six Heath, and this is kind of the

608
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: range for a couple of these guys, and I think

609
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 1: it's really interesting. I know you've been really high on

610
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: this player, you know, since the draft, so I was

611
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: kind of expecting you to pick him if you're going

612
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: to go in a rookie running back direction. But I'm

613
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: curious to hear your thoughts on why you're going with

614
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: the guy you did.

615
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trevion Henderson was my second favorite running back in

616
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: this class before the draft, and I'm pretty much still there.

617
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 2: I didn't like the fact that he didn't get drafted

618
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 2: quite as high as I would like, But I think

619
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: the situation actually works out really well for him. First off,

620
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 2: we know what Josh McDaniel's history is with pass catching

621
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: running backs, and Trevion Henderson profiles with somebody who could

622
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: be very, very good at that, and so he doesn't

623
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: necessarily even have to win a large share of the

624
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: rushing down work to pay off in round six. But

625
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: I think he has a chance to, partially because of

626
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: Vermandre stevenson struggles and the one thing that can keep

627
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: the two things that can keep veterans on the field

628
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: over rookies who are more exciting, or when you have

629
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 2: veterans that are really good in pass protection or really

630
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 2: good at ball protection and Ramondre Stevens is bad at

631
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: the Stevenson is bad at both of those things. I

632
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: think Henderson might be a better pass catcher the first

633
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 2: day of training or a better not pass catcher pass

634
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: blocker the first day of training camp than the Stevenson is.

635
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 2: So I think there's a real opportunity for him to

636
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: begin the year in that third down role with some

637
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 2: explosive playmaking in the running game and then as the

638
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 2: season goes on, he becomes the number one guy for

639
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: hopefully an improving Patriots offense.

640
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: And I believe this is what you just said, but

641
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: I just want to clarify for the listeners, this isn't

642
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: that you see him like, oh, round six Henderson is

643
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: a better value than round five R J. Harvey. You

644
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: actually have Henderson ranked ahead of guys like Harvey and Hampton, right, absolutely, yes, yeah, fits.

645
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that ranking of the rookies?

646
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think Heath is smart to focus

647
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 3: on what Henderson can give you as a pass catcher

648
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 3: and then what he gives you as a runner is gravy,

649
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 3: but it could be a lot of gravy. Like it

650
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 3: could be a double ladle of gravy, because I love gravy.

651
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 3: Because Stevenson had the fumbling problems, man, I mean, like

652
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 3: they sat him on the bench for Antonio Gibson last year,

653
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 3: but like Henderson is going to own those passing downs

654
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 3: because he's electric on screens and because I mean you

655
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 3: would think a guy like Henderson who's not a big

656
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: prospect like Omarion Hampton, but he is a dog as

657
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 3: a pass blocker, like he's really good at it. That

658
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 3: did's not coming off the field on passing downs.

659
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: The thing I really like about Henderson as opposed to

660
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: somebody like Hampton is, you know, we have concerns about

661
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: how much work is Hampton gonna get early in the

662
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: season with Najee Harris there. If Henderson doesn't get a

663
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: lot of the work, He's still getting really valuable work

664
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: catching passes, getting explosive plays like maybe not the short

665
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: term like touchdowns, but everything else, the most valuable stuff

666
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: you can be doing as a running back right off

667
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: the bat. I think Henderson is going to be doing

668
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: that for what I expect to be a better offense

669
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: in Drake May's second year. So yeah, I think it's

670
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: a great pick. And he's not somebody that needs to

671
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: be a workhorse for it to pay off, kind of

672
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: like a poor man's Junior Gibbs in that sense where

673
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: he's just gonna be doing stuff that we like to

674
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: see in fantasy. So I think it's a great call,

675
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: and you know, I think it's smart to play your

676
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: flag on him compared to some of the other guys

677
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: going in this range. I want to let everybody know

707
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: have for us.

708
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 2: This is kind of kind of one of my guys

709
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 2: this year. In terms of value, it's Jerry Judy, and

710
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: I think if Joe Flacco wins the starting job, this

711
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 2: is way way way too low, and if anybody else

712
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: wins it, this is probably just about right. I'm a

713
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 2: little hesitant to buy mid career breakouts, especially as like

714
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: a year, five, year six, and then believe that's going

715
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 2: to continue. But he was only twenty five years old

716
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: last year. I think people don't realize how young Jerry

717
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: Judy is he'd shown us flashes in the past, took

718
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: off last year with Jameis Winston and Joe Flacco at

719
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: this stage of his career is basically older Jameis Winston.

720
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 2: We've seen him ele of eight pass catchers, like he

721
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 2: did with Josh Dowens last year, like he did with

722
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: teammate David Njoku a year before. And I really believe

723
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: that Judy, who was a top five wide receiver in

724
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 2: the second half of last year, has top fifteen upside

725
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: for as long as he's playing with Joe Flacco.

726
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: It's funny, Fits, I'm realizing that you were the wrong

727
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: person have on the show because once again I'm looking

728
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: like Ericson is lower the consensus, Deebros. Lower and the consensus.

729
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: You are above consensus. So I'm assuming you're going to

730
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: agree with Heath here.

731
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just here to be the Greek chorus for

732
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 3: Heath today.

733
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 2: I like it. I could use this more often.

734
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 3: So. Yeah. The funny thing is is Judy averaged three

735
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: catches and thirty eight yards last year in the seven

736
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 3: games that Deshaun Watson started like he did not work

737
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 3: well with Watson obviously just smashed in the Jameis Winston

738
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: games and even was really productive in the Dorian Thompson

739
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 3: Robinson and Bailey Zappie games. So did not click with

740
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 3: the Shawn Watson, but everything else was just gold. Like

741
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 3: he said, he's still young, and if you draft Judy

742
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 3: are just praying that Joe Flacco makes a bunch.

743
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: Of starts fits. We've talked about some of the younger

744
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: guys available in previous rounds. You have, I think probably

745
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: the oldest player we're talking about today as your choice here.

746
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is probably going to be controversial. It's

747
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey. And it's funny that it's controversial because we've

748
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 3: been debating for so long whether he should be a

749
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 3: first round pick in fantasy. Now you can get him

750
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 3: in the seventh round. And I feel like the only

751
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 3: way he doesn't pay off on this price is if

752
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: he gets hurt. And Travis Kelcey is not missed more

753
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 3: than two games in any season since its rookie year,

754
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 3: and a lot of the games he's missed have been

755
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 3: regular season finales when the Chiefs had a bye week

756
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 3: wrapped up already, or if he just collapses. I suppose

757
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 3: the collapse as possible he's thirty six. Last year was

758
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: the first time he averaged under ten yards per catch,

759
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 3: but he's still had ninety seven catches last year. Like,

760
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 3: do we really think Travis Kelcey isn't going to be

761
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 3: a big part of this offense again, that Patrick Mahomes

762
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 3: isn't going to look for him? Like, come on, I'm

763
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 3: just I'm not buying that. So seventh round, Yeah, I'll

764
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 3: take it.

765
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,479
Speaker 1: Heath Let's loop in your a round eight pick. Who's

766
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: David and Joku? Because it's the first tight end that

767
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: you brought up on the show. How do you compare

768
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: a guy like Joku in the eighth to Kelsey in

769
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: the seventh?

770
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 2: I have them both. I think back to back in

771
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: my rankings. I love Fitz's call here. I think one

772
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 2: of the things he didn't talk about was that I

773
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 2: think Kelsey outscored Sam Laporta and Mark Andrews per game

774
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: last year, despite the fact that he only scored three

775
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 2: touchdowns and those guys lived on touchdowns, and we know

776
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 2: touchdowns are not the stickiest stat We've seen big touchdown

777
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 2: seasons from Kelsey in the pack. I would be more

778
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 2: likely to believe he was going to ride into the

779
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 2: sun off into the sunset. If it wasn't for how

780
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 2: hard he's been working this offseason to get in shape

781
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 2: and how all the things Patrick Mahomes is saying about

782
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 2: how much better he looks. I think Kelsey wants to

783
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 2: have one more great season. So great call there, n Djoku.

784
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 2: It's a lot of the stuff I said about Jerry Judy.

785
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: The difference is that he's actually safer because they're layups

786
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 2: in that Brown's offense and the Kevin Stefanski system. I

787
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: know they got a new offensive coordinator, I still think

788
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 2: Stefanski has a big impact on things. The layups go

789
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 2: to the tight ends. Joku had a five yard eight

790
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 2: OT over the last two years. If they play one

791
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 2: of the younger guys, kind of like the Alvin Kamara

792
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 2: is the guy that they dump it off to in

793
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 2: New Orleans and the Joku is the guy they dump

794
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 2: it off to in Cleveland. So I think he's a

795
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 2: little bit safer in terms of if Joe Flacco is

796
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: not the starter. But it's worth remembering that in twenty

797
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 2: twenty three he played five games with Joe Flacco and

798
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 2: averaged eighteen fantasy points per game in those five games,

799
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 2: So big time upside for as long as Flacco was starting,

800
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 2: and I think he might be better than an eighth

801
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 2: round value even with one of the other guys.

802
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: Flacco has always loved his tight ends from day one.

803
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: What is your approach generally, Heath on the tight end position?

804
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: Is it to I know you didn't mention these guys earlier,

805
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: but is it to try and get a Bowers or

806
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: a McBride or a Kittle early or is it more

807
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: to get you know, this mid tier or do you

808
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: just want to kind of punt and wait till even

809
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: later to get your tight end.

810
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. I wish almost that Ashan had been twelfth in

811
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 2: the rankings, so I could have set him for round

812
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 2: one and I could have said one of the tight

813
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 2: ends for round two, because my plan so far this

814
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 2: year has pretty much been take Bowers or McBride in

815
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 2: round two. If I miss both those guys, it's take

816
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 2: Kelsey or Nijoku in round seven. So yeah, these are

817
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: the four guys that I usually end up with.

818
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: Am my misremembering? Did I see you took Bowers first

819
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: overall in scott Fishbowl? That's its own same.

820
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 2: I took him first overall on Scott fish Bowl. I've

821
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 2: heard some of the arguments about why he won't be

822
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 2: as good as he was last year. I just can't

823
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 2: believe in a better off with a better quarterback and

824
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 2: no significant target competition added that he's going to be worse.

825
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 2: I think brock Bauers might be worth a first round

826
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 2: pick and just a standard PPR league.

827
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: I've got the third pick in my draft this weekend,

828
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: so maybe if he's there, I'll go the very nicely.

829
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 3: I took him at one oh four, and okay, I

830
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 3: saw a lot of people getting him at like one

831
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 3: oh nine, one eleven. I Mike, did I reach? But

832
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 3: so Heath is making me feel better about that. But yeah,

833
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 3: I like powers at one o four. Scott Scott fish

834
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 3: always pumps up the tight ends in his league for sure, Fits.

835
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: We have not done your round eight player yet. Who

836
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: do you have for us?

837
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Brock Purty. So in his two full seasons

838
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 3: as an NFL starter, Perty has finished QB seven and

839
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 3: QB ten among quarterbacks who made at least six starts.

840
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 3: His ADP is QB thirteen. Pretty is averaging eight point

841
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 3: nine yards per attempt for his career, and just to

842
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 3: put that number into perspective. The single best one season

843
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 3: YPA that Tom Brady ever had in his care was

844
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 3: eight point six yards per attempt in twenty eleven, So

845
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 3: pretty averaging eight point nine yards per attempt over forty

846
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 3: careers game shows that one he's good and two Kyle

847
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 3: Shanahan's system is good. So I mean Perty even gave

848
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 3: us some rushing value last year three hundred and twenty

849
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 3: three yards five touchdown runs. Maybe the rushing numbers dry

850
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 3: up a bit, but Perty could be due for some

851
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 3: positive regression and touchdown rate. Only four point four percent

852
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 3: of his throws resulted in tds last year. That's below

853
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 3: his career mark of six percent.

854
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, heth I'm curious. I'm curious where you have Pretty

855
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: ranked amongst quarterbacks. But also because you didn't pick a

856
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: quarterback for this kind of the same thing about tight ends.

857
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: What's your approach with the position.

858
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 2: So the last three drafts that I've done, I've drafted

859
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 2: Bruck Perty, So all I can do is just one

860
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 2: hundred percent agree. I think he's going to smash his

861
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 2: career high in pass attempts. I think people focused on

862
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 2: the weapons that he's lost, But I think this forty

863
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 2: nine ers defense may not be near as good as

864
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 2: a spin during the time that he's been there, I

865
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 2: expect he's my QB seven. Absolutely love it. The reason

866
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 2: I didn't put him here is because I've been spoiled

867
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 2: by all these analyst drafts where I get brought party

868
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: in round ten or around eleven. But he is my

869
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 2: QB seven, and amongst the quarterbacks, I think he is

870
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 2: probably the guy that I am highest on amongst all quarterbacks.

871
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: Before we get to the rest of the show, I

872
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: want to take a quick second to talk to everyone

873
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,719

Speaker 1: Yes that's a real thing, and of course my longtime

883
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: dynasty NFL league made the switch as well, whether it's

897
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 3: Well here again, I am so I have to admit

898
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 3: that Perty is not my favorite click at quarterback in

899
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 3: drafts this year. It's Drake May. And you know this worm.

900
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 3: I mean, after doing shows with you all off season,

901
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 3: you could probably recite my Drake May sales pitch for me.

902
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 3: And I've been giving it to our viewers and listeners.

903
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 3: You know, they've been getting the hard sell on Drake

904
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 3: May off season, So I will spare all of you

905
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 3: a long breakdown of why I think Drake May is

906
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 3: going to run for eight hundred yards and at least

907
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 3: four or five touchdowns this year, and why I think

908
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 3: he'll put up solid passing numbers. I'll just say that

909
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 3: if anyone out there believes in Drake May and wants

910
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 3: to get him this year, use justin Fields as your

911
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 3: alarm clock. Like when Fields gets picked, take Drake May

912
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 3: in the next round, and Fields ADP is ninety three overall,

913
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 3: May is one fifteen overall, So you'll probably be picking

914
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 3: May a full round ahead of his ADP, but you

915
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 3: will be assured of getting him, and I think it's

916
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 3: well worth it to get him this year.

917
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: Heath, Again, we just talked about how Purty is such

918
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: a great target for you. Is May kind of also

919
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: in that conversation. In this round of drafts, no.

920
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 2: I My Drake May ranking was so low that we

921
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 2: have our Saint Jude Draftathon coming up and just starting actually,

922
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 2: and we had somebody make a donation if we would

923
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 2: do a weekly segment about how wrong I will about

924
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: Jake May, because he's just convinced I'm gonna be eating

925
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 2: Crow all season long. So we appreciate the donation and

926
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 2: we're gonna do the segment and hopefully I'll look dumb.

927
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 2: I'm probably still more of a Steffan Diggs skeptic in

928
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 2: terms of his health and his age, and I think

929
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 2: if Diggs is not good, this is still the worst

930
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 2: receiving cores in the NFL, and so that's what worries me.

931
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 2: I loved what May did as a rusher last year,

932
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 2: but also there's some efficiency there that's just probably not repeatable.

933
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 2: He had some very long runs and he'll have a

934
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 2: couple of those. But I think we see the yards

935
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 2: per attempt come down a little bit. I'm hopeful that

936
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 2: the rush attempts go up, but in the Josh McDaniels

937
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 2: get it out quick system, I'm a little bit more

938
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 2: worried they're going to train him to not take off

939
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 2: and run but dump it off to Trevion Henderson instead.

940
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 2: And so we'll just we'll see if I'm wrong. I

941
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 2: like the player. I like him a lot more in

942
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 2: Dynasty than I do in Redraft. And if Stefan Diggs

943
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 2: is somehow at thirty one coming off of an acl

944
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 2: Steffan Diggs again then I'm gonna bag on my face.

945
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: So who are you going round nine?

946
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 2: Then in round nine, I'm gonna go with Ricky Pearsall.

947
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 2: And this feels like cheating because from the moment the

948
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 2: Dwan Jennings trade request or contract request happened, it seemed

949
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: like a switch flipped and everybody started taking Piersall a

950
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: couple of rounds ahead of Djuwan Jennings. I like both

951
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 2: of them. I'm happy to take whichever one goes second.

952
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 2: I think in the consensus rankings, Piersol was showing as

953
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 2: the second one, so I chose him. There's big time

954
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 2: upside for Ricky Piersoll, and he showed it in the

955
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 2: last two games of last year. The reason we can't

956
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 2: rank him any higher is because it was two games,

957
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 2: and I think I don't expect much from Brandon Auk

958
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 2: until probably week seven. Week eight gives him a great

959
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 2: runway to establish himself as the number one receiver in

960
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 2: this offense. Either way, I think if I can get

961
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 2: at the eight to nine turn both Jennings and Piersol,

962
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 2: I feel great about that.

963
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: Fitz, what do you think about Pearsal?

964
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 3: Like him a lot. It's funny because people on a

965
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 3: bunch of Finns analysts on Twitter this week. We're sort

966
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 3: of fighting the Juwan Jennings crusades. People on either side

967
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 3: of that battle and I have tended to be I

968
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 3: did not join in with my sword and shield, but

969
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 3: I have been on the Ricky Pearsol side of things.

970
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 3: I feel better about Pearsaw. I mean, I never trust

971
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 3: Age twenty seven breakouts. And if you look like Juwan

972
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 3: Jennings yards per route run last year was fabulous, it

973
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 3: was like two point twenty six. But like for the

974
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 3: rest of his career, which I think amounts to more

975
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 3: route runs than he had last year, it was like

976
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 3: one point four. Like it just wasn't good. So I'm

977
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 3: not sure I trust the breakout for Jennings. I trust

978
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 3: more in the draft pedigree and athleticism. And you know,

979
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,439
Speaker 3: Pearsaw gave us a pretty good audition in the last

980
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 3: two weeks of twenty twenty four.

981
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: Sorry he did you say where you would take him?

982
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: Because you said round nine is almost like cheating at

983
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: this point, where is the round that you would be

984
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: wanting to reach for him?

985
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 2: Well, what I'd like to do is take one of

986
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 2: them in round eight and one of them at the

987
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 2: start of round nine, like, I'd feel pretty good that

988
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 2: I've considered it in round seven, but I think round

989
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 2: date's probably the sweet spot.

990
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to round ten. Here he will start with

991
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: you who you.

992
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 2: Have, Well, we're not going with the youth this time.

993
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 2: We're going with the old man, and it's Cooper Cup.

994
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 2: And I do have like I've been taunted by our

995
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 2: listeners over this, I have kind of a theory that

996
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 2: if a guy shows you that in his thirties that

997
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 2: he's done, believe him. The problem is kind of like

998
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: I can't quite believe the last two games for Ricky Piersol.

999
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 2: It was only really the last four games for Cooper Cup.

1000
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 2: Through Week fourteen, he was on a twelve hundred yard

1001
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 2: ten touchdown pace, and then those last four games he

1002
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 2: just disappeared. I'm I'm hopeful that was some sort of

1003
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 2: injury and he's Cooper Cup again at the beginning of

1004
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 2: this year, which is probably a big time problem for JSN.

1005
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: I love the fact they're talking about playing him predominantly

1006
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 2: in the slot. He's just been elite too recently for

1007
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 2: me to see him fall this latent drafts. I would

1008
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 2: actually prefer Cup to the forty nine ers, and I'd

1009
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 2: take him as early as round seven.

1010
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 3: Do you think I don't know if I've taken him

1011
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 3: in any draft yets. I mean, I'm not one of

1012
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 3: these people who's done two hundred Best Ball drafts already.

1013
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 3: But yeah, I just I don't know if he, like

1014
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 3: he said, like the switch just flipped off very abruptly.

1015
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 3: I don't know if he turned to dust, or if

1016
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 3: there was some sort of hidden explanation and injury or

1017
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 3: something else. I'd like to believe that he goes back

1018
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 3: to his home state and has like one more really

1019
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,919
Speaker 3: nice season. I just I don't know. I'm very sort

1020
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 3: of torn on him and have aired on the side

1021
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 3: of not drafting him.

1022
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 1: Fits Who's year round ten pick.

1023
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 3: It's Jordan Mason, and I actually think both of the

1024
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 3: Minnesota Viking running backs are pretty attractive. Aaron Jones might

1025
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 3: even be the better value at this point because Mason

1026
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 3: is starting to get expensive. I'm just not sure if

1027
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 3: people can actually get Jordan Mason in the tenth round.

1028
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 3: So please don't yell at me in the YouTube comments

1029
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 3: about Mason not being available here, but if you can,

1030
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 3: and that's where he has him like Mason should have

1031
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 3: some standalone value this year, and if anything happens to

1032
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 3: Aaron Jones, who's thirty now by the way, Mason will

1033
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 3: be a guy that we will be ranking in the

1034
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 3: top ten or even in our top five at running

1035
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,439
Speaker 3: back every week that Jones is out. So Mason showed

1036
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 3: us what he could do last year when when Christian

1037
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 3: McCaffrey was hurt early in the year, Mason averaged one

1038
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty scrimmage yards a game in five point

1039
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 3: one yards per carry before getting hurt himself. And the

1040
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,479
Speaker 3: Vikings run games real heavy on the outside zone, which

1041
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 3: is just totally suits Mason's abilities. I think if you

1042
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 3: can get Mason in the tenth round, you should pounce

1043
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 3: on him.

1044
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: Heath, is Mason a target for you as sort of

1045
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: like a handcuff plus type of player?

1046
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I think he's got flex appeal. Even with

1047
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones healthy, I would not be surprised if he

1048
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 2: just has more rush attempts than Aaron Jones this year,

1049
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,240
Speaker 2: and I certainly wouldn't be surprised with jones fumbling issues

1050
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 2: if he has more rush attempts inside the five or

1051
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 2: ten yard line, and maybe even more rushing touchdowns. I

1052
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 2: hope that this high flying Vikings pass game can still

1053
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 2: be that with a first year starter at quarterback. I

1054
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 2: do think there's a chance that with a first year

1055
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 2: starter at quarterback they go a little more run heavy

1056
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 2: than they have in the past. And there's room for

1057
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones to touch the ball fifteen times a game.

1058
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 2: And Jordan Mason still be a contributor in fantasy. So

1059
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 2: I think if if you can find him in round ten,

1060
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 2: that's great.

1061
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,760
Speaker 1: Fits Who is your round eleven.

1062
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 3: Guy, Keon Coleman. So we saw glimpses of Keon's big

1063
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 3: playability in year one. He averaged nineteen point two yards

1064
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 3: per catch, just under ten yards per target. He just

1065
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 3: needs to get more consistent and earn more targets. But

1066
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 3: the Bills don't really have anything close to an alpha

1067
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 3: receiver on their roster. There's substantial target upside for Coleman.

1068
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 3: I'm hoping for a big step forward in year two.

1069
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: I wonder I fits since, especially since we do the

1070
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: Dynasty Show together. If I've heard you talk more about

1071
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: Drake May or Kean Coleman or for the last year, because.

1072
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 3: It's a lot of being May. But there's been a

1073
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 3: lot of Holman.

1074
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: Hype too, Heath, are you buying into any of Fitz's

1075
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: Keon Coleman hype?

1076
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 2: I hate the bills offense so much, and then Josh

1077
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 2: Allen's awesome. They are very good, but just their offensive

1078
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 2: philosophy of even our best skill position player, James Cook. Yeah,

1079
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 2: let's just give him two hundred and thirty touches or

1080
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 2: something and mix in Ty Johnson and Ray Davis and

1081
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 2: let's throw it to seven different pass catchers. I think

1082
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 2: that the Keon Coleman breakout path is like James Jones

1083
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 2: season where he doesn't actually have a thousand yards and

1084
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 2: he doesn't catch that many passes, but he scores ten

1085
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 2: touchdowns because he plays one of the best quarterbacks on

1086
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 2: the planet. And so if you can get that in

1087
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 2: round eleven, I think it's not the guy that I

1088
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 2: generally click on that range, but he certainly has that

1089
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 2: potential upside because of who he plays with.

1090
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: Who is the guy that you click on here?

1091
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 2: So my round eleven guy was Tank Bixby, and I

1092
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 2: want to apologize and advance to all the baseial Tuton Tilts.

1093
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 2: I know everybody loves him. Well, I looked at ADP

1094
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 2: earlier this week, and there's some site where he's going

1095
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 2: earlier than both Travis CTN and Tanks Bigsby. Already. Tank

1096
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 2: Bigsby has had a terrible time catching the football and

1097
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 2: past protecting. He's not been passing Down's guy, but he

1098
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 2: was one of the most efficient rushers in the NFL

1099
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 2: last year. And I think that there is a chance

1100
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 2: everybody looks at Toot and says, well, he's the Bucky Irving,

1101
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 2: And I think there's a chance that Tank Bigsby is

1102
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 2: the Bucky Irving. And I would much rather take a

1103
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 2: chance on him if he's going third in this group

1104
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 2: in round eleven than drafting one of the other guys

1105
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 2: in round seven, eight or nine. I don't think we

1106
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 2: really know anything about the Jacksonville backfield heading into training camp,

1107
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 2: but the narrative that the day three running back is

1108
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 2: going to be the guy because he's the one the

1109
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 2: coach chose doesn't hold as much weight with me as

1110
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 2: it seems to be a flaut of people fits.

1111
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: What's your approach with this backfield?

1112
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean kind of lean into it. I want

1113
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 3: to get a piece of it in every draft, just

1114
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 3: because the ambiguity is keeping the prices low, and if

1115
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 3: you don't get the right guy, it's really easy to

1116
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 3: cut ties and just wave them after a while, but

1117
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 3: the potential rewards if you hit on the right guy.

1118
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 3: And maybe Bigsby well, as he said he's not going

1119
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 3: to plan passing downs. I'm kind of just scratching him

1120
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 3: off my board in full point PPR leagues and half

1121
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 3: point that's different. He was so much better as a

1122
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 3: runner than ETN was last year. It wasn't even funny.

1123
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 3: Like all the metrics yards after contact, per Kerry rushing

1124
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:25,280
Speaker 3: yards overexpected. ETN just got blown away by Tank Bigsby.

1125
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 3: So I see why Heath is attracted here. And like

1126
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 3: bay shal Touton is a fumbling issue, laquint Allen isn't

1127
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 3: really an early down guy, so it wouldn't surprise me

1128
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 3: if Tank got the vast majority of the first and

1129
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 3: second down work.

1130
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: Round twelve, we've got one rookie and one guy in

1131
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: his thirties, so opposite end of the spectrum here, Heath.

1132
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: Let's start with the rookie.

1133
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll go with Matthew Golden. I again, another guy

1134
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,840
Speaker 2: I would take three or four rounds earlier than what

1135
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:54,959
Speaker 2: the ECR shows right now, it seems like some people

1136
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 2: really hate Matthew Golden.

1137
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 3: I know.

1138
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 2: The downside is that so far Green Bay hasn't had

1139
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 2: a number one wide receiver. They just spread the ball

1140
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 2: around too much. But the other thing they haven't had

1141
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 2: is a first round pick as a wide receiver. It's

1142
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 2: something the Packers didn't do for basically two decades, and

1143
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 2: they did it this year. I think that's because they

1144
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 2: looked at their roster and said, we've got like four

1145
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 2: number two guys, we need a number one. And the

1146
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 2: thing that Golden possesses that the other guys don't is

1147
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 2: two hands. He can catch the football exceptionally well. They

1148
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 2: really had a problem with drops last year. He's also

1149
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 2: better as an intermediate route runner than he gets credit for.

1150
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 2: People see the forty time and think, oh, he just

1151
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 2: runs down the sideline. No, he can do other things.

1152
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 2: He really seems to be building a good report with

1153
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 2: Jordan Love already, and I expect Golden to function as

1154
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 2: a true number one in this packer's office. That doesn't

1155
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 2: mean one hundred and forty targets like some teams, but

1156
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 2: I do think there's a chance for one hundred and

1157
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 2: twenty targets, which would be the most I think in

1158
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 2: the Matt Laflorra at least since DeVante Adams left. And

1159
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 2: I love, love love him if you can get him

1160
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 2: in the double digit rounds.

1161
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: Fits your in house packers fan, What do you think

1162
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: about this pick?

1163
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:57,439
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1164
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 3: Were? I mean, we've talked about how conflicted I am

1165
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 3: with Golden. The guys in our business who do like

1166
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 3: models for rookie first round rookie receivers in general, but

1167
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 3: especially the first rounders, point out that every first rounder

1168
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 3: with a profile similar to Golden, like it's just littered

1169
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 3: with guys who have been busted. I mean, he two

1170
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 3: years ago, he was like the third best receiver in

1171
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 3: the University of Houston, and that was after Tank Dell left.

1172
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 3: But the scouting guys Daniel Jeremiah mel kiper Junior Dame Brugler,

1173
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 3: they all had Golden as a top fifteen overall prospect

1174
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 3: in this draft, like they loved him, and what he

1175
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 3: did down the stretch against some really quality competition was

1176
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 3: so impressive for Texas. So I don't know what to

1177
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 3: think here, but I do I'm encouraged by the fact

1178
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 3: that Matt Lafleur is one of the best play callers

1179
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,280
Speaker 3: in the NFL, and he if he and Brian Goodi

1180
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 3: Kunts the Packers GM were on the same page about

1181
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 3: drafting this guy. That Lafleur has a plan for him

1182
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 3: and it's going to get him involved and get him

1183
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 3: the ball. So yeah, mixed feelings for sure.

1184
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 1: Let's go with the older guy here now fits. Who's

1185
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:08,760
Speaker 1: your pick for round twelve?

1186
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 3: Austin Eckler. I was never really that big an Eckler

1187
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 3: guy when he was a first rounder, and I missed

1188
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 3: out on some good years. But now that he's so cheap,

1189
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 3: he plays in an exciting, up and coming offense with

1190
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 3: an electric quarterback and a much improved offensive line. And

1191
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 3: Eckler was productive when he was healthy last year. He

1192
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 3: scored double digit PPR points in eight of his twelve games,

1193
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 3: and I think there's some upside here too. When Brian

1194
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 3: Robinson Junior missed a pair of mid season games last

1195
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 3: year with a hamstring injury, Eckler at one hundred and

1196
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 3: thirty four yards from scrimmage in three touchdowns in those

1197
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 3: two games, and one of those games was against the Steelers,

1198
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 3: who have a pretty good defense. Heath.

1199
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: Is this somebody that interests you as a later on target.

1200
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 2: Oh, this is the guy that sits in my rankings

1201
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 2: as the best player available by rankings for a couple

1202
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 2: of rounds. And I just don't want to click it

1203
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 2: because it's an old running back who's sharing work. But

1204
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:06,800
Speaker 2: I think that he's an incredible value, especially at this cost.

1205
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 2: And I don't really fully understand the difference in the

1206
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 2: ADP of Brian Robinson Junior and Austin Eckler because if

1207
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 2: you just look at the games when both of those

1208
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 2: guys were healthy last year, first off, neither one of

1209
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 2: them was great, but they were both within like a

1210
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 2: point and a half of each other, right around ten

1211
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 2: or eleven Fantasy points per game. I think Brian Robinson

1212
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,760
Speaker 2: Junior is being overdrafted, Austin Eckler's being underdrafted.

1213
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 3: And Jacory krossky Merritt I think could steal carries from

1214
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 3: Brian Robinson, but he's not going to steal any work

1215
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 3: from Macklaer.

1216

1225
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: two rounds left. Will go quicker here because these are

1226
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: kind of the range of I don't want to say,

1227
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: like lottery tickets, but like kind of lottery tickets guys

1228
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: that you'll be willing to drop if they don't pan

1229
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 1: out pretty early on in the year. Heath, who do

1230
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 1: you have in round thirteen?

1231
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1232
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:17,439
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of things to say about

1233
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 2: Jaydahon Blue, so I'm glad that you said that we're

1234
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 2: going to be quick on these guys. I'll just say

1235
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 2: that if I can take a running back with receiving

1236
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 2: upside who's currently behind Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, who

1237
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 2: have both failed plenty over the last couple of years,

1238
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 2: that seems like a decent bet to make.

1239
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: Are you interested at all? I know I said, we

1240
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: go quick here, Heath, but are you interested at all

1241
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: in Javonte Williams just as like a guy who we

1242
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: don't think is like what he used to be, But

1243
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: there's just so much opportunity here.

1244
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I think if if he falls to that

1245
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 2: round nine, round ten range, then sure, it's especially if

1246
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 2: it's one of those teams where I started.

1247
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 3: Now.

1248
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 2: The reason I don't end up picking him a lot

1249
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 2: is something I said at the start of the show.

1250
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 2: A lot of my favorite picks in the first few

1251
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 2: rounds are running backs, and I think Williams is the

1252
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 2: type of guy you target. If you started off with

1253
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 2: three wide receivers, an elite tight end, and a good quarterback,

1254
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,439
Speaker 2: and now you're trying to piece together that zero RB team,

1255
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 2: then Javonte Williams is a good option if you already

1256
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 2: have three running backs by the time you get to

1257
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 2: round nine. I'm not sure that Williams has the upside

1258
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 2: to really ever matter on your team, but yeah, I

1259
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 2: think any of the Cowboys running backs are a worthwhile

1260
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 2: click in the double digit rounds for sure.

1261
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: Fitz, we've talked a lot about Javonte. Do you have

1262
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: any thoughts on Blue as a pick here.

1263
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think you're getting pretty good pot

1264
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 3: odds on him, as you know, in the thirteenth round. Basically,

1265
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:38,919
Speaker 3: like I don't know how he's going to work into

1266
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 3: that running back rotation, but there's a chance he is

1267
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 3: a pretty substantial role.

1268
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: You are picking round thirteen here. Fits is a longtime

1269
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 1: fantasy pro's favorite.

1270
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Marvin Mimms Junior, And I know people have heard

1271
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 3: me talk about him and how he scored six touchdowns

1272
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 3: over Denver's last seven regular season games despite let's see,

1273
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 3: sixty two yards per game in those seven games, despite

1274
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 3: playing fewer than half the offensive snaps in all of them.

1275
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 3: So he averaged zero point seventy two PPR fantasy points

1276
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 3: per snap in those seven games, which is almost double

1277
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 3: the zero point three eight PPR fantasy points per snap

1278
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 3: that Jamar Chase averaged last season. And I realized it

1279
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 3: was a lot of schemed up production, Like Mims got

1280
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 3: a bunch of yards and screens. Sean Payton was putting

1281
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 3: him in the backfield some of the time. And now

1282
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 3: the Broncos have RJ. Harvey and Evan Ingram to steal

1283
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:29,480
Speaker 3: some of those short area targets. But Mims averaged up

1284
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 3: to the target as a rookie was fifteen point one

1285
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 3: yards in college. His last two years at Oklahoma, he

1286
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 3: averaged more than twenty yards per catch in each of

1287
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 3: those two seasons. Like, if he goes back to being

1288
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 3: a downfield receiver this year, fine, Like there's still a

1289
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 3: chance for him to produce that way, and he just

1290
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 3: turned twenty three. I think there are a lot of

1291
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 3: potential pass to value for this guy, and I like

1292
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 3: him as a late run dart throw.

1293
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 1: Heath Is Mims somebody that interests you in this range.

1294
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 2: I love Mims. I loved him as a prospect. I

1295
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 2: got too excited when Sean Payton took him in round

1296
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 2: two and then talked about how Invaldi was going to

1297
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 2: be I got too excited last year when Sean Payton

1298
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 2: talked about how they had to get him on the

1299
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 2: field more and then a snapshare actually went down. And

1300
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 2: it's probably part of the reason where I've been skeptical

1301
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 2: about the things Sean Payton says about RJ. Harvey, another

1302
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 2: second round pick that he keeps talking good about. So yes,

1303
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 2: if I'm definitely interested in drafting Mems at this point

1304
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 2: in the draft, and I will be optimistic, but I

1305
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 2: really don't think Sean Payton's going to let it happen.

1306
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: You beat me through the RJ. Harvey comparison, so we'll

1307
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: done on that. Let's go to round fourteen. And there

1308
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 1: were three players in this exercise that you guys both

1309
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: wanted to pick. One was in round three, one was

1310
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 1: in round four, and one was all the way down

1311
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 1: at round fourteen. You guys had the same guy again,

1312
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: Heath who did you take and snake away from fits?

1313
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how so many people hate DeAndre Swift

1314
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 2: and think that Ben Johnson hates DeAndre Swift, and yet

1315
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 2: nobody wants to draft for Sean Johnson until round fourteen.

1316
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense to me. But yeah, he

1317
01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 2: should be in that Jamal Williams slash David Montgomery role.

1318
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 2: He was already basically the goal line back last year.

1319
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 2: If this offense takes the leap that we're hoping it does,

1320
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 2: with Ben Johnson and hopefully Caleb Williams turning into the

1321
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 2: guy he was drafted to be, then this could be

1322
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 2: a team that scores forty five touchdowns in a season,

1323
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 2: and Rochean could definitely get to double digit touchdowns. I

1324
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:20,919
Speaker 2: don't know that he does much in the passing game.

1325
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 2: I don't expect him to be that efficient and as

1326
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 2: a rusher, but he doesn't necessarily have to be. If

1327
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 2: it's blocked well and he gets the short yardage opportunities,

1328
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 2: he's a value here.

1329
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: Fitz, you wanted Roshan, where did you go instead?

1330
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 3: I went with Isaiah Likely just to pander to you,

1331
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 3: the Ravens fan worm. Yeah, I mean, it's just if

1332
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 3: Mark Andrews stays healthy all year. Isaiah Likely is probably

1333
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 3: someone I don't know. You're cutting fairly early in the season.

1334
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,919
Speaker 3: You're just needing an extra spot, and you can't draft

1335
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 3: him as your top tight end. But if anything were

1336
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 3: to happen to Mark Andrews Warm We've talked about this

1337
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 3: in games. Andrews has missed. Likely has produced at a

1338
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 3: rate that I think, like, if you pro rate it

1339
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 3: over a full season, works out to almost nine hundred

1340
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 3: yards and like eleven touchdowns. And I just think the

1341
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 3: guy's really good and I'm willing to kind of throw

1342
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 3: a dart and hope that the opportunity presents itself. We've

1343
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 3: heard talk that they're looking to lock up Likely with

1344
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 3: the long term contract, which maybe bodes well for him

1345
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 3: getting used a little bit more aggressively this year. So yeah,

1346
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 3: I think he's worth a shot this light.

1347
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 1: The rumor around Baltimore is that they've made him the

1348
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 1: same contract offer that they extended Andrews to a few

1349
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: years ago, kind of that four year. I think it's

1350
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: like fifty two million, like as an offer, which obviously

1351
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: hasn't been accepted yet, but they are looking to extend him.

1352
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 1: From what I can tell, it is likely he somebody

1353
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 1: that if you do end up waiting late on tight

1354
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: end or as like a second tight end that interests you.

1355
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think when you get to round fifteen of

1356
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 2: a draft, or around fourteen of a draft, what you'd

1357
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 2: like to do is draft people that you know are

1358
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 2: good at football. If they get the opportunity, they're going

1359
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 2: to smash. And I think likely is exactly that. The

1360
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 2: hard part last year was that Week one was so

1361
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 2: good you couldn't drop them. You just had to hold

1362
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 2: them on your bench all year long and wait just

1363
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 2: in case. And that's kind of a pain when you've

1364
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 2: got short benches in a redraft league. But the potential

1365
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 2: is so good, the offense is so good, that it's

1366
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 2: worth having him on at the end of your bench

1367
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 2: for as long as you can handle that.

1368
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 3: Keith.

1369
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: Before we get out of here, you mentioned already the

1370
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Saint Jude Drafts of thought. Just such a cool thing

1371
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: that you guys do. Do you want to take a

1372
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: moment to let everybody know in case some people listening

1373
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: don't know what that is. Yeah.

1374
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Basically from now until the end of August, we

1375
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 2: are raising money for Saint Jude. Last year we raised

1376
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 2: over one hundred thousand dollars. We're going to smash that

1377
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 2: number this year. We'll have all types of opportunities for

1378
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 2: people to get involved in, including play in leagues with us,

1379
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 2: do mock drafts with us, have your question read on

1380
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,439
Speaker 2: the air, all kinds, and then there'll be other things

1381
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 2: throughout the year. You'll get to watch Dan Schneier beat

1382
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 2: at a mazer at tennis. Again, it's one of the

1383
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 2: best thing I feel like that we get to do

1384
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 2: in this industry is stuff like the Scott Fish Bowl,

1385
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 2: like the Saint Jude Drafts on anything we can do

1386
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,240
