Time 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:10.800 now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly source 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:14.920 for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and whatever 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:17.919 stupid stuff they decided to drop into the show. Now, 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:24.680 here's your host, Paul Argie. Welcome to the first rookie 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:28.520 oriented fantasy football weekly of the year. I am Paul 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:32.159 Jarchie and co host today Brian Johnson. Hello, what's up charge? 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.320 First of many, right, yeah, it's gonna be rookie intensive 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.159 for the next two months, because that's you know, that's 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:39.960 the hot news. And then of course we've got we're 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.120 only a couple of weeks away from free agency in 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.960 full bloom, so the tampering period starts, I believe on 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.880 the fifteenth, so we've got that coming as well. There's 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.680 gonna be a lot of potential big moves. Tee Higgins 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.360 might be on a different team in two weeks, which 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.680 would be pretty wild. He could be in Chicago, Bear, 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.560 I doubt that's happening. I don't know. I still can't 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:05.040 believe the is traded the thirty second overall pick for Chaselaypool. 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.720 Oh last year, Oh yes, that hurt there are a 0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.680 lot of intriguing wide receivers. Yeah, you would rather have 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:16.440 yeah than Chase Claypool. That hurt, but you're not gonna 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.479 be crying much for Chicago when they turn that first 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:23.640 overall pick into like three firsts and two seconds. There's 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.880 the perfect, the magic scenario for the Bears, Brian. They 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:30.119 go from one to two, pick up like a first 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:32.480 round pick next year and a second round pick this year. 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.320 Then they go from two to four and pick up 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.080 another couple of first round picks and a couple of 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.600 second round picks. They could just stockpat. They could move 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.840 down two three times in this draft and still get 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.200 impact players and tons of picks. The Bears aren't such 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.760 a great spot. Now. I have an off the cuff 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.120 pivot idea. If you want, we can talk about these 0:01:53.240 --> 0:02:00.000 um the grades for like facilities and nutrition. Yeah about that, Yeah, 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.920 and doing right. I don't know if it's I'd never 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.920 before that I've seen until now. Well, first off Vikings 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:11.400 finally champions champions at something raise the banner. They had 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.480 six different categories, I believe, and the Vikings graded in 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.560 A or A plus in all six. It is important. 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.120 You don't want to it is important. Free agents look 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.160 at that kind of stuff. But it's the Commanders and 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.679 the Cardinals though, getting Cardinals and make their players pay 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:32.239 for food. I can'tnot my head around that. No, you're 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:36.200 paying these guys millions and millions of dollars and even 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.679 you're you're you're even like your your bottom of the 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.919 roster guys are like, you know, three hundred thousand dollars 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.920 and you're danging them eight bucks for a chicken sandwich. Seriously, 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.880 and not NFL pro to even college teams. They feed 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:53.079 the media for free. Unbelievable. Yeah, you're like, wow, come 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.160 in after a practice, like it hasn't be eighty nine 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:59.760 cents for that granola bar? Kyler. Yeah, sorry, that's I mean, 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.640 we were ragging on like Moneyball in you know, the 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.359 early two thousands, the scene where David Justice finds out 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.720 he's got to pay a dollar for his own soda, 0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.320 and that's their got right, And that's in two thousand 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.400 and I don't know's it is. That was. That was 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.400 what was the Washington grade for their traveling party was 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.160 F minus or something? Yeah, I didn't know there wasn't 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.239 F minus. Disaster franchise, and and then that article that 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:29.040 came out about recently about Dan Snyder. They're very serious 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.359 allegations in there, but one of them is he charged 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:35.160 his own tea Charged Washington, I'm gonna guess was before 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.000 they were football team. You know, their original name. He 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.960 put the logo on his private plane and charged the 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.040 team four and a half million dollars per year as 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:49.680 an advertising his own team. So dumb. I'm sure there's 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.000 some good accounting reason for that, but I don't I 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:57.320 don't know. They're not cooking. No God, no, no, man, 0:03:57.400 --> 0:03:59.120 think about it. He's got so much dirt on these 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.280 other owners. The fact that they haven't kicked him out yet, 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.920 it tells you he's got all the dirt. He knows 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.680 where all the bodies are buried in the NFL. This 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:13.280 the we're calling this episode speed dating the first round 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.880 of a rookie draft. We've already established via early drafting 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.240 the rookies that are going in the first round of 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:25.640 rookie drafts and um and this includes like best ball 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.960 re drafts that are already happening. So you know, we've 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.560 melded in and we have found the first round of 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.240 the rookie drafts, and we're going to go through the 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.400 twelve players, the twelve rookies. These are the These are 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.800 the most important players at least right now. Yeah, and 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.360 of course no one's on a team yet and landing 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:46.080 spot doesn't matter, but really, based on talents alone, these 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.720 are pretty much the top twelve thirteen guys. I will 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.039 say it's an interesting class and that at each position 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:56.200 there's like two or three, maybe four, you know, standout guys. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.039 Then every everyone else in the position, it's all the 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.400 same range of outcomes we're in past years at least, 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.080 feel like there was three or four tiers at like 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.159 running back and wide receiver. Fuels like it's the big 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.080 dogs in some cases bigger dogs, and then it's just 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.600 ten other guys that kind of are all but we'll 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.440 get into them all. Like I think the running I 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.839 think running back is from what I've seen so far, 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:22.240 running back is super deep. I think this thing is 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.320 like ten guys deep. But the guy at the top 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.800 stands alone. Bijean Robinson. You want to talk about Bijean 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.160 Robinson As we get started, we don't have to get 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.720 into them too much if you haven't watched the Bijean tape. 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.080 And when I say tape. I'm talking about YouTube highlights. Yeah, 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.560 And don't you know the best way, the best way 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.440 for people at home that don't have access to all 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.039 twenty twos and stuff like that, watch full games. The 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.040 full games are out there, so you can watch every 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.000 snap of a player. If you watch just the highlights, 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.920 obviously you're gonna miss all the low lights and you're 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.839 gonna get deceived on a lot of stuff. Watch full 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.240 games for people that you're players you're targeting. That's the 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.240 best way to real get a read on the player 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.520 you're interested in. Agreed, but uh yeah. Bijeon running back 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:09.960 out of Texas, perfect size, basically six feet two twenty. 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.920 No running back has been drafted inside the top twenty 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.800 in the NFL draft since Sequon Barkley went second overall 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.960 in twenty eighteen. Bijean could go top twenty. He will 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.479 go first round. He'll go I think he'll go first 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:26.440 round us as I've now mentioned like five times as 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.560 in the off season. No way. I don't think Beijean 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.120 Robinson would get passed at the bottom of the first round. 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.280 The Bengals and the Chiefs, and if he falls to 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:38.480 one of those, it's brain exploding. Levels or Eagles. Eagles 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:42.240 are ye Eagles too, Yeah, right, Miles Sanders free agent, Yes, 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.159 but the Eagles with their the Eagles would be out 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.200 of the three, would be the least desirable because of 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.919 Jalen Hurt stealing the rushing touchdowns and the committee of 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.400 backs that they almost always use. But we talked a 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:59.200 little bit about him last week. Right now again team TBD, 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.640 but he's going bijan at the end of the first round. 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:06.239 He's LAB four in redraft right now and in rookie drafts. 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.159 I mean, if you're in a super flex league with 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.400 no quarterbacks, this is the league you're still taking Bijean Robinson, 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.560 no matter how needy you are at I mean trade yeah, 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.800 you're not drafting anyone but Bijean Robinson with the first 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.000 pick in any form, no matter what your format is. 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.480 You know, Jean Robinson's the first pick, including super draft 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:29.280 in two quarterback leagues because none of the quarterbacks are 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:33.160 Joe Burrow coming out where You're like, dude, isn't It's like, 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.520 can't fail? You know, Andrew Luck can't fail. You know, 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.880 there were there were guys that just everything looked so 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.840 perfect for this player to make the make the transition 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.040 to the NFL. There's not there isn't a quarterback I 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.240 like that industry. And you can trade the rights to 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:52.360 Bijan or your draft Bijean whatever for justin fields plus maybe, 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:56.840 I mean you can for sure. Yes, he is hands 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.240 down the number one picking all rookie drafts, regardless of 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.120 former that we said. But that's about it. So yeah, 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:02.960 be Jean Robinson. If you haven't watched him play or 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.840 watching the highlights, well, the things that make him special 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.880 are the footwork, the vision, the balance. You know, this 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.000 is it he is. He can catch, he can run 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.960 you over, run around you, run by up. Yeah, he's 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.640 the He's a total package guy. He's the sae Quon Barkley, 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.160 Zeke Elliott, Leonard Fournette. Probably shouldn't have gone as high 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.400 as he did, but he's gonna be a first round 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.400 running back in the draft. You don't see it often, No, 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.000 you're not, well, not anymore. Robinson will be. He'll be 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:34.360 um uh potentially if it falls into the right landing spot. 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.480 Be Jean Robinson can be the highest scoring running back 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.720 this year. Yeah, he could have a rookie year like 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:44.600 Barkley did, like Adrian Peterson did. He falls absolutely the 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:48.600 second player being taken in fantasy drafts right now. Rookie 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:52.320 is Alabama running back Jimir Gibbs. He played one year 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.920 at Alabama after transferring from Georgia Tech. He is an 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.480 elite receiver, maybe the best receiver in this entire class. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.400 Definite three down back. They do not have to take 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.080 him off the fields of the third down, accepting is 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.720 the fact that his past protection is not great. He 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:11.400 led all of college football in running back receptions of 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:17.480 fifteen yards or more. Jamir Gibbs is very fast. The 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.360 knock on Gibbs he's he's not small, but he's not 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.360 big enough to be a powerful back either. So he's 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.480 got to survive on a little bit of elusiveness and 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.240 guile and him being slippery, which he is. But there's 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.680 a lot to like about Jamir Gibbs currently going off 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.679 the board number two. College football fans saw him pretty 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:39.920 much every Saturday because he played for Alabama. YEA, Gibbs 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:45.160 could potentially outscore Robinson this year if the right in 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.520 a better landing spot. That's right. He's a ticka below 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.320 when it comes to talent, but he's definitely higher than 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:51.839 the rest of the other running backs in the class. 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.760 It feels that way. It feels that way. The third 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:59.959 player being taken is Ohio statewide receiver Jackson Smith in Jigba, 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.160 And first I want I think his parents, because in 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.360 jigba could have been pronounced a lot of different ways, 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.880 but it's exactly how it looks, which is fantastic. We 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:11.360 really appreciate that boy. He has got some remarkable all 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.000 ball skills and footwork. Talk to people, get us up 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:19.079 to speed on Jackson Smith in Jigbo. Yeah, six foot one, 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.120 two hundred pounds, pretty good size coming out of Ohio's state. 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.760 Basically the consensus rookie wide receiver one. We'll talk about 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.880 the other guy in the compo very soon here. But 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.440 as you were alluding to, great route runner, great hands, 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.559 might not be the fastest guy. He's not gonna run 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.559 the forty in the combine. I'll run on his protey, 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.160 but he'll be like a four or five forty kind 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.880 of guy. But that's nothing to be too alarmed about. 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.319 Dustin Jefferson's a four or five guy. Cooper Cups a 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.520 four six guys. I was about to run off their names. 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.640 Cooper Cup four to six two, Davante Adams four five six, 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.679 Michael Pittman four or five two, Seedee Lamb four or five. 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.800 So yeah, no concerns there. His his pie in the 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.640 sky comp is a Cooper Cup. He's like that kind 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.480 of guy. They can just get open. He's gonna catch 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.240 the ball. He's not gonna run from the slot like 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.440 Cup though, Willie, I think he can run from all 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.000 over the field. I think a lot of these can. 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.920 A lot of these rookies can, even the shorter ones. 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:13.640 But at six one, he's got the size to play 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.800 from the outside. Um only played three regular season games 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.760 in twenty twenty two, so that kind of dings his 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.000 h prospects a little bit. But he had three hundred 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.000 and forty seven yards in the Rose Bowl when not 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.200 bad right right now, Wide receiver twenty nine, so he's 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.520 right outside that wide receiver two range. Yeah, and he's 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.240 in redrafts and Rady drafts. He's expected to be a 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.560 starter getting drafted there as a wide receiver three. Whoever 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:42.240 takes him, so Jackson Smith and Jigba will be a 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.760 immediate starter or whatever team drafts him. Because some teams 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.760 in the top ten is going to end up selecting him. 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.720 Um have we haven't put landing places to these players, 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.360 any of these players yet, and so you know, and 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.440 it's tempting to speculate a little bit about where some 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.360 of these players could go. UM, but if I were 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:05.320 to put Smith in Jigba on an NFL team, if 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.000 I think he's going to go in the top ten, UM, 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.439 it could make sense for him to hit Atlanta UM, 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.960 which you know is still looking for some help at 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.520 wide receiver, even though they went that direction last year. 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.120 Las Vegas at seven need some depth after Davante Adams 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.800 and he would be cheap depth. Tennessee went wide receiver 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:25.720 last year. They go wide receiver again at eleven. So 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.760 there's there's a couple of There's no Patriots at fourteen. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:32.520 They're about to lose Jakoby Meyers. They're they're constantly needed. 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.480 If you want to tank somebody's career, put a wide receiver. 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.200 If you're pulling for if you got some rookies on 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.800 roster already, you've been a prey. If their wide receivers, 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:42.440 they don't go to the Patriots because that has not 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:49.240 worked out ever. The fourth rookie being taken is USC 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.120 wide receiver Jordan Addison. Now, there is a kid who 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.600 won the bullet Nikoff Award last year twenty twenty one 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.440 while he was at Pittsburgh. Then he transferred to USC. 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.040 He still did well at USC, but USC had a 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:02.760 lot of weapons and they didn't rely on him nearly 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:04.640 as much, so he didn't put up the same kind 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:09.000 of eye popping stats Jordan Addison did last year as 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.440 he did the year before. But an elite route runner, 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.920 lots of separation through manipulation of defenders, an extra top 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.000 end gear that helps him separate after the catch as well. 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.559 The downside and Jordan Addison, dude is skinny, really skinny, 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.760 and not at all physical. Basically, you touch him and 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.000 he's down. But you know that that reminds me of 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.280 those concerns from a couple of years ago, the Vante 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:34.880 Smith liquid he just did. It took him, It took 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:36.480 him a while to fill out that frame a little bit, 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.160 but yeah, it was the BMI concerns. Yeah, they are 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:43.240 there though for sure. Other concern about Jordan Addison is 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.439 like half of his catches or within five yards of 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:50.000 the line of scrimmage, and so you didn't get a 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.360 real look at what he can do as as much 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.520 as of downfield receiver, at least not with USC. So 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.920 that's Jordan Adison. He's going off the board at number four. 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.439 Bring people up to speed on the fifth rookie being taken, 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:06.520 wide receiver Quinton Johnson. Yeah, six four two fifteen out 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.480 of TCU. He's kind of the probably the most prototypical 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.720 X receiver in the draft, you know, just your outside 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.240 boundary guy has got that kind of size. Kind of 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.839 looks like AJ Green a little bit. To me, I 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.720 would take AJ Green's career. I don't think he's got 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.200 quite the AJ Green ceiling. I don't claim to be, 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:28.600 you know, a pro scout or an expert film analysis guy, 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.840 but I see a lot of body catches when I 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.320 was watching John Johnson highlights. Now everyone want the body 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:38.240 catches in the NFL. Those defenders get there and they 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.200 hit a little harder than they do in college. So 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.400 I don't know, but he's still likely he's gonna be 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:49.480 most cases, JSN, Jordan asenor they're gonna go before Quinton 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.880 Johnson and Quintin Johnson probably the third wide receiver to 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.240 go in rookie drafts. In most cases, wide receiver forty 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.120 one right now in re drafts. So he's in that 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.880 wide receiver three range where you know you're you're gonna 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.720 expect some production out of him pretty much right out 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.640 of the gate. But again we'll see where he lands. 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:08.320 Six player taken rookie taken. Is we finally get to 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.080 a quarterback now? Obviously in super flex this, you know 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.400 these players, all these quarterbacks move up potentially to pick 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:18.360 number two. So but in non super flex, non two 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:24.200 quarterback leagues, Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. First here, everybody's talking 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.040 about his size. It's probably the single biggest talker at 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.880 the combine. He's six foot tall and he's thin. He 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:34.720 had a rough, rough day on Friday. First he said, basically, 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:38.880 he quote, I've been this height my whole way. It's 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.840 just really it's a tough birth. That would be a 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.240 tough kid to get birth to. And then while he's 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.720 making that preposterous statement, someone not at the exact same moment, 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.320 but someone takes a picture of him from behind the 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:54.400 podium and he's wearing these sneakers that are like platforms 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:59.120 thick souls. It's like, no, no, you cannot do you know, 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:00.400 you know what he should have done. That would have 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.680 been really really funny, is walk up to the podium 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.600 with a big like step ladder and then get on 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:10.040 the step ladder to just make fun of the whole thing, 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.040 like a crate or something, and then you know, get 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.600 on the crate. You can get on some stilts, but uh, 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.240 I think that would have been really funny. He's drawing 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:23.000 a lot more attention right now. It's almost worse than 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.480 Kenny Pickett in his hands last year, and it's just 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.760 like came out of nowhere basically. But everything else about 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.600 Bryce Young looks very promising, excellent overall passer. He's got 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.560 an NFL caliber arm that can make all the passes 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:39.560 that he needs to make. He's got tremendous pocket poise, 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.800 very calm under duress. He has subtle moves in the 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.840 pocket to buy some time, and just the pocket intangibles. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.880 For Bryce Young, it's the stuff you can't coach. Do 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.960 you panic when the when the when the pocket is 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.680 breaking down is kind of built into you. It's like 0:16:55.720 --> 0:17:00.320 a fight versus flight response. And some guys got it 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.000 and Bryce Young's got it. Um doesn't make many mistakes. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:08.400 He's got decent mobility, can extend some plays those legs. Um, 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.919 but yeah, that's you know, Bryce Young feels like the 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:16.120 probable first quarterback taken in the draft. Yeah, we shall 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.320 see you though. Yeah, that's it's still up, still up 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.520 in the air. Yeah, well we'll talk about a couple 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:24.280 of the other ones. Yeah. The number seven R rookie 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.680 off the board in the early drafting, early fantasy drafting 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:35.440 is running back Zach Carbonet, uh ucl Carbonet or Charbonnay Charbonnet. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.520 I think it is Charbonne. Some great names and this 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.080 we got some great ones coming up. But yeah, he's uh, 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.560 he looks like not a lot of fun to tackle, 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.840 Zach Charbonnet out of UCLA six foot one, two hundred 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:51.240 and twenty pounds. But he's not just a downhill run 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.680 order at all. He jump cuts, jukes, he can catch, 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.160 He's got Bill Cow potential, and uh, I think we're 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.800 going off football guys rankings here. I'm right with him. 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.840 Where they have charbonnais RB three. You'll see some other 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.080 varying opinions out there, but I'm I'm all in on 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.320 Charbonne at RB three. I'm very excited to see where 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.720 he ends up. Just he he's a monster, but he's agile. 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.199 He reminds me of a like a mark Ingram in 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:17.359 his prime, kind of looks like a James Connor two 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:21.119 three down. He thought's interesting my because he's so tall 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:25.280 and upright. I thought he reminded me of former Viking 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.920 Robert Smith, without the Robert Smith track speed and acceleration. 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.359 And I'm not worried at comp I'm worried a little 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:33.000 bit because he is. He is very tall, I mean 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:34.959 six foot one running back is you know you are 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.840 at the high high slow though I don't know he doesn't. 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.240 He doesn't run that tall. There's another running Yeah, I 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.040 think he does. But yeah, well, you know, we'll we'll 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:45.679 look more at him. I've only watched one of his 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.359 games so far, so I really can't say for sure. 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.160 I'm not one hundred percent in on. I haven't watched enough. 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.520 He's got a lot more wiggle than you would expect. 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.520 The vision and footwork are good, but his acceleration. I 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.560 want you next time you're looking at Zach Charbonnet, I 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:02.879 want you to look at the acceleration. This dude is 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.320 slow to get up to speed, and that could be 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:08.560 a real problem at the NFL level. We'll see among 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.840 running backs in this class though fifth in yards are 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.399 runs of ten plus yards last year, so do like 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:21.080 that he can produce. The eighth rookie Ohio State quarterbacks. CJ. 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:26.240 Stroud also a very interesting guy. Incredible accuracy he has. 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:30.119 He throws the most catchable pass in college football Super 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:34.000 High Football IQ makes all his reads. Some people are 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.760 knocking CJ. Stroud a little bit, well, not knocking him, 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:43.720 just throw cautioning. He's thrown balls to Garrett Wilson, Chris O. Lava. 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.960 Now we just mentioned Jackson Smith in JIGBA. Marvin Harrison 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.000 Junior is awesome. He's going to be a first rounder. 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.400 I mean, this is the guy has been surrounded by 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.320 amazing wide receiver talent and he's throwing to open receivers 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.879 a lot. He is not the same. He doesn't have 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:05.119 the same kind of pocket poise that Bryce Young has. 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.480 He can break down in the pocket a lot more often. 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.800 And he was playing behind an amazing OSU offensive line 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.280 as well. That may have hidden some, you know, some 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.480 issues that c J. Stroud might have to deal with 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:18.919 if he gets drafted by the Colts. And that crappy 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:22.680 offensive line, which is a possibility. By the way, he's 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:24.560 just an average arm talent. I mean, I think he's 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:28.160 probably gonna be his sweet spot's gonna be fifteen year, 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.800 fifteen yards downfield. He's gonna be an intermediate level passer. 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:34.480 I have some I have a little bit of concern. 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:38.320 I'm not about six foot three, six foot three about that. 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:41.919 That's right. The ninth rookie off the board wide receiver 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.600 Josh Downs, brings us up to speed on him. Yeah, 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:48.240 Josh Downs at a University of North Carolina, five foot ten, 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.919 one eighty not huge, but uh he plays big um, 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:54.840 serious threat from slot. But he can line up anywhere, 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:58.520 supposedly as a forty two inch vertical. Yeah, so that's 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:00.960 that's the that's high if you not know so, he 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.359 can go up and get it even at five to ten. Uh. 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:07.000 He's led all wide receivers in this uh rookie class 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:13.520 in contested catch win percentage seventy five percent, where when 0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:20.199 you can jump forty Yeah, and uh yeah, he's got speed. Um. 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:22.159 A lot of people were comparing him to be like 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:25.360 a Tyler Lockett type player, which is certainly a compliment. 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:29.720 Right now, wide receiver fifty four in redraft, so he's 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:33.640 you know, he is certainly draftable and really like this 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:37.000 is he's gonna be a good player regardless. It sure 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:40.879 seems like but if he gets lands in the right spot, yeah, 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:44.200 he could really like come out of nowhere and people 0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:46.439 can be like, who is this kid? He's incredible? So 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:49.399
