1
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody. Welcome to a special edition of the

2
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. I'm Marcus Grant, joined by Michael f.

3
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: Florio and Lakwan Jones here hanging out with you after

4
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: the first round of the NFL Draft. Night one is

5
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: in the books. Officially we've had thirty two picks. I'm

6
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: just saying we had thirty two teams too. That is

7
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: not the case because the Rams traded out and New

8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: York Giants got a second pick in the first round.

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: So you see, Lawan, they're fist pumping because the Giants

10
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: traded back in. The Falcons did get what a second

11
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: pick in the first round as well, so we had

12
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: a couple of teams that did have two picks in

13
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: the first round. But otherwise, thirty two picks are gone,

14
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: a handful of fantasy relevant picks, some surprises in the

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: first round as well, some names that we thought might

16
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: get called that did not get called. So we will

17
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: dive into all of that and more. Of course, if

18
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: he got questioned, if you have things you want to

19
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: kind of talk about, you can drop them in the

20
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: chat and we'll be glad to discuss some of those

21
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: as well. But in the meantime, we're gonna go through

22
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: some of these picks. Also a little bit of a surprise.

23
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: We've got a surprise for you all we know about this.

24
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: I had a chance to talk to Carolina Panthers wide

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: receiver Xavier Leget earlier in the week. Now I will

26
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: warn you that we talked to him before we knew

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: what the Panthers were going to do with their first

28
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: round pick, so we did not ask him about Ted

29
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: Roll McMillan or anything that was going to happen with

30
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: the Panthers offense. So just be aware of that when

31
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: you hear the interview later on in the show. But

32
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: let's get started. Let's show all the fantasy relevant guys

33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: that went in the first round here and what do

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: we got? Ten guys that should could make a fantasy

35
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: impact in year one go in the first round of

36
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: it and uh, well, fels I guess. Let me get

37
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: your overall thoughts. Floorial will start with you your overall

38
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: thoughts on what you saw in this first round.

39
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: It was more entertaining for real life purposes than for fantasy.

40
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: I mean, we got the the early big names that

41
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 2: we expected. They felt to good spots, But after that

42
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: like only got two qbs, only two running backs. I

43
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: thought maybe we'd get another wide receiver in there. So

44
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: and then some weirdness too, like uh like loveling going

45
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: over war in. It was overall an interesting night, and uh,

46
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: it was really fun for me because my Knicks got

47
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: an NBA playoff dumb tonight too, So I'm really having

48
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: a good night.

49
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, lakwan. I know the Rams did not pick

50
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: because the Rams don't like first round picks. That's just

51
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: the thing we know about them. But it ended will

52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: be a good end the I think being a good

53
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: night for the Rams, nonetheless, But just your overall thoughts

54
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: of what you saw in night one.

55
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: Night one was great, man, just seeing some of these

56
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: players go off the board, and then you immediately just

57
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: start thinking, like, oh my god, this guy's fantasy relevant.

58
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: He's going into a great situation. But then there's the

59
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: confusing one. I was really confused about the Bucks, like

60
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,559
Speaker 3: a mecha boa.

61
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 4: Whoa, Like what the heck was that?

62
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: But you know what, I kind of see the vision

63
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: Mike Evans is getting up there in age. You have,

64
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: you have Chris Godwin back and signed. But I'm just

65
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 3: trying to see how all this will work and what

66
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: his year one impact will look like like. Man, that's

67
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: just a little weird. That was the most oddest pick

68
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: for me. Honestly, I don't.

69
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Know if that was the oddest one for me. We'll

70
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: get into that one a little bit later, but that

71
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: was definitely I think a head scratched. I think, you know,

72
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: the interested is sort of talk through this as we

73
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: get down to that pick a little bit later on

74
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: in this show. Very surprised, I think at the lack

75
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: of skill position guys that went in the first round

76
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: of this draft. But we were also talking before we

77
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 1: came up live that rounds two and three I think

78
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: will be very heavy with fantasy relevant players. We're gonna

79
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: see a lot of running backs. We're gonna see a

80
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: lot of wide receivers. We're gonna get some more quarterbacks,

81
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: I think in rounds two and three as well. So

82
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: I do think that Friday is going to be a

83
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: very interesting day when it comes to fantasy football. But

84
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: still I thought we'd see maybe another wide receiver or two.

85
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: I kind of assume that we'd only get the two

86
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: running backs that that went as I anticipated, thought, maybe

87
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: we get one more quarterback then we did, so a

88
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: little bit surprised by difference. Second one definitely definitely a

89
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: different second one for sure. So like let's just let's

90
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: start at the top. Then here, guys, no surprise at all,

91
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: cam Ward the number one overall pick going to the

92
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. You know, we joked on our podcast not

93
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: that long ago that you know he was naming his

94
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: top five reivers in the NFL, and yeah he had

95
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: he had the Calvin Ridley and Treylan Burks as to

96
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: his top five guys in the NFL. So already trying

97
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: to basically butter up his guys in that wide receiver room.

98
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'll ask you, Lakwan Kim Ward in

99
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: redraft leagues, is he a guy you're interested in taking

100
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: a shot at Leyden drafts this year?

101
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 3: If you're a team that likes to draft two quarterbacks,

102
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: who'll probably be my second quarterback? Like the same way

103
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: we approached Caleb Williams last season, Like I kind of

104
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: look at that situation like it was a question mark,

105
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 3: Like we know how good he is, we know his

106
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 3: generational talent, But the situation here with the Titans, it's

107
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: kind of like, let's just wait and see how this

108
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: plays out. Because I know they just signed Tyler Lockett

109
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 3: and Calvin Ridley has been such a deep threat. There's

110
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 3: still more that they're gonna add to this Titans offense.

111
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 3: I don't think they're done adding wide receivers whatsoever, but

112
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: most likely looking at Kim Ward as a guy you

113
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 3: get in those later rounds, like if you want a

114
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: QB two just to hit on the upside, why not,

115
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 3: Because honestly, we know the talent is there. There's a

116
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 3: lot of traits and qualities that we explained about cam

117
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 3: Ward to what he brings to the table, bring us

118
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: a lot of what they lacked last season. And the

119
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: number one thing that I see that pops off tape

120
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: that Will Levis did not have was pocket awareness.

121
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 4: Like it just did not exist with Will Levis last season.

122
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: So you bringing cam Ward a guy that could shift

123
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 3: and move around in that pocket and has a deep

124
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 3: arm that's accurate as well. I know Calvin Ridley is

125
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: just grinning in the ear to ear right now, like,

126
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 3: oh man, I cannot wait to catch some of those

127
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: deep balls with him.

128
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Floryda, I know how you feel about cam Ward.

129
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: You were a big cam Ward guy. Throughout this process.

130
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: Does it make you feel a little more excited about,

131
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: say a Calvin Ridley drafting him in fantasy?

132
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. Like I'm not super I really

133
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: like cam Ward for real life purposes. For fantasy, I

134
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: agree with what LQ said, he's like a dart throw

135
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 2: later in drafts, but he's good for all. Like he's

136
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: better than Will Levis, he better than Mason Rudolph. He's

137
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: better than everyone who is throwing the ball in Tennessee

138
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 2: last season. So he's really toolsy. And that's what I

139
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: like for Calvin Ridley is he has a cannon for

140
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: an arm. He can he can air it out downfield

141
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: and even more so, like there could be this much space,

142
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: he does not care. He's like Calvin Ridley's there, I

143
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: know I can get this ball in that. And I

144
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: think that's something Brian Callahan is gonna have to kind

145
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: of coach out of him a little bit, maybe not

146
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: forcing as many throws, but I would always rather have

147
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: a young QB trust his arm too much and kind

148
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: of have to dial that back than vice versa. But yeah,

149
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: I think it's arrows up for all of the Titans

150
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: pass catchers right now and just get ready for cam

151
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: Ward because he is the biggest on field troll I've

152
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: ever seen, Like.

153
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 4: He plays with his.

154
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: Food like no quarterback I've ever seen.

155
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is interesting when you watch him sort of

156
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: scramble around that you know, and you and I think

157
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: talked about this very early in the process, that he

158
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: would sort of like almost he's the defender, right, he's

159
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: sort of slowing down as he gets to the sideline. Yeah,

160
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: and he was like, you know what I mean he is.

161
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: He's the kid that when you played tag, he would

162
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: sort of like run toward base and then wait for

163
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: you to get close and he put his hand down

164
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: like on the tree like I'm safe. I mean, you

165
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: can't get me.

166
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: I forget who it was against. But in one game

167
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: he had such so much time in the pocket he

168
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: stood flat footed like the play was blown dead, just

169
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: like what are you doing?

170
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so very interesting. I want to take a look

171
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: at the if we could the the Titan sort of

172
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: and it's not updated to include cam Ward just yet,

173
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: but the Titan sort of, uh screen here what we

174
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: got there? Obviously, I said, cam warden not on here yet,

175
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: so you could put him over Will Levis at the

176
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: quarterback position over Tim.

177
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: Boyle, though.

178
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: Look, NFL bylaws say that if Tim Boyle is on

179
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: a roster, he must play at least one game during

180
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: the season. Those are just the rules. I don't make them.

181
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: That's just how it works. But you want to look

182
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: at this room here, Calvin Ridley Van Jefferson, by the way,

183
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: we haven't mentioned because it happened since our last podcast,

184
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett going to the Tennessee Titans, So he's another

185
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: weapon that cam Ward is going to have to work

186
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: with their in Tennessee. Interesting backfield. We saw Tony Pollard

187
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: have a really nice season there. Tyja Spears kind of

188
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: an afterthought a little bit. Chigakon Kuo, a talented player

189
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: who we're looking to see if he can finally kind

190
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: of pop in this offense. But they have at least

191
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: they believe they have the quarterback that can sort of

192
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: make it happen.

193
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: There.

194
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 3: Solid offense man, just looking at it, like Tony Pollard,

195
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 3: Tajay Spears. You got a one two punch there, you

196
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: could run efficiently, and like Tony Poller quietly was like

197
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 3: top ten in.

198
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 4: Explosive plays as well.

199
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 3: So that's a real good look for this roster now

200
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 3: looking at it, A lot of guys that can go

201
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 3: deep and stretch the field as well. My guy Van Jefferson,

202
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 3: I got to put it on former Ram, you know,

203
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: I got to put it on for my boys man,

204
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: but he could definitely, you know, stretch the field at times.

205
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 3: So it was Tyn Lockett. So cam Ward is just

206
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 3: going to be airing this ball out every Sunday. I

207
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: cannot wait to that.

208
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: One thing he did in college a lot that I

209
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: love is when the defense was like, we know he's

210
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: gonna air it out, he was like, all right, I'll

211
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: just jump it off to the running back. So that

212
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: that could be a really good thing for Pollard and Spears.

213
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 4: Collar and Spears. Yeah, that won two punch is amazing.

214
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it should be very very interesting there. Let's move

215
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: on to the number two pick, which was supposed to

216
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: be the Cleveland Browns, was not the Cleveland Browns because

217
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: they traded out for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Jaguars

218
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: go on and they take Travis Hunter at number two overall. Now,

219
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: he was announced as I don't know if they said

220
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: I can't remeber if they said cornerback, wide receiver or

221
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver quarterback first. Yeah, but both of those positions

222
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: were listed when Travis Hunter's name was announced. So I

223
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys have seen anything. I certainly

224
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: have not seen anything any idea of what the Jaguars

225
00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: want to do with Travis Hunter. Do we know how

226
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: much they want to use him at the wide receiver spot.

227
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: I don't think they move up to not use him

228
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: at wide receiver right, Like I think they know all

229
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 2: their eggs are in the Trevor Lawrence basket right now,

230
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: and like Liam Cohen was brought in to save Trevor

231
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: Lawrence and get the most out of the money they

232
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: paid him, and that, Yeah, and I mean Travis Hunter

233
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: opposite of Brian Thomas Junior. Like, there's literally no excuses

234
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: for you now. You got the number one wide receiver

235
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: in this class, one of the best from last year,

236
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: two elite guys to playmakers who could win in a

237
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: number of different ways. Like I think he's gonna play

238
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: wide receiver primarily and have some cornerback sprinkled in. But

239
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: if you're telling me that he's gonna play most of

240
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: his snaps at wide receiver, I think he's a top

241
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: thirty wide receiver for fantasy.

242
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: I love that take. I'd love that take right there

243
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: at top thirty. I'm actually feeling a little bit better

244
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 3: because we were on the pod last week and I

245
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: was like, yo, I'm not I'm not drafting them at all,

246
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: but he's going to do like I honestly feel like,

247
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 3: oh man, this is about to beat exciting to get

248
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: him on that offense, for him to be electric, just

249
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 3: like Brian Thomas Junior. It's just like, Wow, Liam Cole

250
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 3: is gonna have a lot of fun. And you said it.

251
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 3: He's there to save Trevor Lards because he's in my head,

252
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 3: He's in my Satchel discontent. He was the og of

253
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 3: it because it's just like, wow, we have not seen

254
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 3: the best of Trevor Lawrence and if he doesn't get

255
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 3: it together, this season might be a dub.

256
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just I'm still I'm still very curious how

257
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: much of a wide receiver workload any team wants to

258
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: give him. I'm at this point convinced that he's going

259
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: to play both sides of the football, right, He's gonna

260
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: play both corner and wide receiver. I just don't know,

261
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: does he get a full compliment of snaps because if

262
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: he is just a guy with a package of plays

263
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: at wide receiver, is that gonna be enough to satisfy

264
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: what we want? And I guess some of it is

265
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: going to depend on the ADP. Know, that's the thing

266
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: we talked about with him Rey Hunt earlier this week,

267
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: talk about his a DP based on you know, what

268
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: we anticipate his workload is going to be. And I

269
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: think that's going to be very very key. I think

270
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to find that out sort of as

271
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: we get through training camp in the preseason see exactly

272
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: what they want to do with Travis Hunter, and that's

273
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: going to sort of make a big deal about that,

274
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: you know. I do think it was interesting though, because

275
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: I think we all thought the Browns were gonna do

276
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: something big at number two and it didn't really happen.

277
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: At this point, Marcel say, we agree the Browns got

278
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: finessed right, basically only getting a late pick this year

279
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: and a first next year.

280
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: We could have got Hunter and Sanders like the board

281
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 2: fell for them, where that could have been very realistic.

282
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, they could have got both. They could have

283
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: got the two guys that made the Buffaloes go and

284
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: they get, they get none, at least at least at

285
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: least not yet. Right, there's still a chance they could

286
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: get Shador Sanders. He's still out there. That's still the possibility. Yeah,

287
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: it's funny because I saw the trade happen, right, I

288
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: saw the details of the trade. And I've seen a

289
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: lot of people You're posting that they were watching the

290
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: movie Draft day in the last twenty four hours. You know,

291
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: I didn't watch it this year. I have not watched it.

292
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like not watching the Christmas Story right before Christmas.

293
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: What do you do?

294
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: You got to get David Putney.

295
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just right. It's like, well, it's funny because

296
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: you know what it's. It's the Browns trading with the

297
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: Jaguars in the movie. It's the Browns getting the best

298
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: of the Jags and they get to the number one

299
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: pig and they get Vonte.

300
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: Mack Jags GM. It lined up perfectly.

301
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: It lines up so perfectly, it's so perfect. Greg. Yeah,

302
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: I don't know why the Browns look. All I can say, Greg,

303
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: is that there's a reason bad teams stay bad. That's

304
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: all I know. There's a reason that team stay bad

305
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: because they make some of the similar mistakes year after

306
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: year after year. So that's that's sort of all I know.

307
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: Moving along at number six, this was one again. Like

308
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: we all knew cam Ward was going number one to

309
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. I think we were all pretty sure

310
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: that as long as he was there, Ashton Johnty was

311
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: going number six to the Las Vegas Raiders. Yeah, you know,

312
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: consensus number one running back in this class. I know

313
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Emrie Hunt said he didn't think the gap between you know,

314
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: John C and say Omarion Hampton or Trayvon Henderson was

315
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: as big as a lot of other people seem to believe.

316
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: But we all sort of believed he was the number

317
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: one guy. I mean, simple question, Florio, where are you

318
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: willing to reach to get Ashton Johnty, Because you know

319
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: you're going to have to reach to get Ashton Johnty.

320
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: I think late first, early second feels like a nice

321
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: sweet spot for him. But I was looking at RB

322
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: ranks right and I'm like, obviously he's behind Saquon, Bjeon

323
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: and Gibbs. But after those three, I don't think there's

324
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: another slam dunk RB ahead of gent Like I think

325
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: it's conversations then, and I wanted to have some fun,

326
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: so I put out a bunch of poles on Twitter

327
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 2: and it was just in PPR because that's what we

328
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: played on NFL. Who would you rather have? Genty? Or

329
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: He won every single poll then, And maybe it's just

330
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: you know, hype right now, but the names were Derrick

331
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: Henry A Chan, Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, Bucky Irving, Josh Jacobs.

332
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: He ran away with all of them. So maybe it's

333
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: just reactionary, but I think he's gonna go in like

334
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: somewhere in the RB four to like six or seven

335
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: range at latest.

336
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: Bro I'm look just talking with my friends, shout out

337
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: to my folks that are back in Jersey, but they're

338
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: saying they're gonna be taking them, like in that mix

339
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 3: of the names that you just named, the b Jon,

340
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 3: the Gibbs, that Barkley, and like, I honestly think he's

341
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: walking into a situation there's no running back behind him

342
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 3: that is going to take touches Chip Kelly, Pete Carroll.

343
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 3: They want to run the rock. That three hundred and

344
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 3: fifty touch mark is on the table for him. I

345
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 3: honestly think they're going to go out there and just

346
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 3: let him just run the ball every single play. Gino

347
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: Smith's going to have the easiest job ever in life

348
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 3: of just turning around and handing the rock to this

349
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 3: bulldozer because they need to revamp that run game. It

350
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 3: was god off last season. I mean, rps A Mere White.

351
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 4: You know, a lot of we felt for the trap.

352
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 4: We are still starting here.

353
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: We had that moment, we had the moment we had to.

354
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 4: Figure out this was a real person last season. But

355
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 4: light Peter since here too.

356
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 5: Geez.

357
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 3: But I honestly think there's PPR upside here with Genti

358
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: as well, because I spoke about it before. Like with

359
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 3: Gino Smith there, he is a dump off artist. If

360
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: it's trouble in the waters in the trenches, he's going

361
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 3: to drop the ball off. He was top five and

362
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 3: running back targets last season, top ten since twenty twenty

363
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: two and run back targets as well. So I honestly

364
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 3: seen Pete Carroll playing to his strength of understanding, like

365
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 3: if you want to bail out, you got this bulldozer

366
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 3: in open space that cannot be tackled, that is going

367
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 3: to go get lost upfield and find his way in

368
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 3: the end zone. So I honestly think there's some PPR

369
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 3: upside with Jent and that's why he belongs in that

370
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 3: conversation when you're in that first round of taking a

371
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 3: running back, because I'm telling you now, man him going

372
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: before Barkley, I would not be surprised.

373
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 4: I would not be surprised.

374
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 3: So you think he goes before Saquon, Yes, I honestly

375
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 3: think if you do it, like, nobody's gonna side on you.

376
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 4: Like what are you doing? No, there's a lot of

377
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 4: time coming his way.

378
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: But I think the consensus is gonna be Saquon.

379
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 6: Yeah.

380
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: I just think, like, I know, we've made the statement.

381
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: I have made the statement that I'm not touching Saquon

382
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: in the first round just because the history of two

383
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: thousand yard backs is not a great one. But I

384
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: still think the consensus is Saquon is going to go

385
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: very highly. Everybody's gonna be like, don't overthink it. It's

386
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: a great running back behind a great offensive line and

387
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: a great offense. So you know, I just I think

388
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: I think I know there's gonna be hype. I know

389
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of excitement. I'm not sure

390
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: that maybe outside of you know, some of us nut

391
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 1: jobs who do this for a living, or do this

392
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: because we are man like weird to start drafting right

393
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl, right like, you're not We're not right.

394
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: Just it's fine, just own it. We're not right. Something's

395
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: wrong with us, that's it. Uh So, you know, I

396
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: just I think that's a thing that that we got

397
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: to sort of keep in mind there. But but wow,

398
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you just threw that out there justin.

399
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw it every single week we come up here. Man,

400
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 3: I'm campaigning for him to go before Barkley. I don't

401
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 3: know where Barkley's gonna go exactly in order, but I

402
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 3: rather the fresh new toy. He's gonna get maximum buying

403
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 3: with nobody behind him. Like I understand Barkley's there as

404
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: the guy as well unders and he just ran for

405
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: two thousand yards. But I'm just betting on regression, and

406
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: I'm betting on ashion genty just being the RB one

407
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 3: next year. I'm gonna put it out there, all right.

408
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 2: I think I think you said though past catching, I

409
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: think he's a much better pass catcher than he gets

410
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: credit for. They just they didn't need him to do

411
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: that in Boys. Yes, No, one could drop it on

412
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: the ground yards.

413
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I think I think that's that's definitely

414
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: fair for sure. Next up at number eight, the Carolina

415
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: Panthers go with Teterro and McMillan, which I think at

416
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: the time was maybe a little bit of a surprise.

417
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that anybody anticipated that the Panthers are

418
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: gonna go with a wide receiver there. But Floya, I

419
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: don't hate it. I really don't hate it at all.

420
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: At number eight for Carolina.

421
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: I actually really like this for them because they remember

422
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: during free agency they got No. One and we were like,

423
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: look we love and exaviorly get friends of the show.

424
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: He wanted a little bit more help there too for

425
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: Bryce Young and team Matt could slide in and be

426
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: there one him and Leguet could like Flick. That's what

427
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 2: I like about McMillan is he's a chess piece on

428
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 2: this team, Like he doesn't have a defined role. He

429
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: could kind of play all over the field. You could

430
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 2: he can be your ex but if you want, you

431
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 2: can move him inside at times, you can move them

432
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: all over. He's a big bodied receiver. He could win downfield.

433
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: But what I think his.

434
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: Biggest calling card is, and I think it got overlooked

435
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: a lot by by some people during this process, Like

436
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 2: what he could do after the catch as a runner,

437
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 2: I know people are gonna see his size and think,

438
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: just throw the ball downfield, let him jump up and

439
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: get it. But as a pure runner, like his strides

440
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: are so long that he could outrun any dB in

441
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: the league. So, uh, he's the type of receiver that

442
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 2: can make life a lot easier on Bryce Young.

443
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, so now you've got you've got some

444
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: young guys there in that in that wide receiver room

445
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: for for Carolina. Uh you know, so you got Coker,

446
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: you got Leeguet. Uh, your thelan is sort of the

447
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: the veteran a little bit, you know, not a little bit.

448
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: He's very much the veteran in that room. We loved

449
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: him though, Yeah, I mean no, we don't really look

450
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: he's obviously for end of the show he came on,

451
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: we talked about severance with him, like, you know, we're

452
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: we're down with Adam Thelen for sure. But it does

453
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: seem like they're building and they're trying to They're they're

454
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: continually trying to get help for Bryce Young. That is

455
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: a good thing, you know, and that was the thing

456
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: that we saw, you know last year, Right, they bring

457
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: in Coker, they bring in Leguet, They're obviously trying to

458
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: build around their number one overall, pick the guy they

459
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: think and be their franchise quarterback. And we saw the

460
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: improvement from him as the season went along last year.

461
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, Lakwan even still McMillan year one,

462
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's more than a wide receiver three?

463
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: Is he?

464
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

465
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 4: That that's where I was going with it, like a

466
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 4: why three or four?

467
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 3: Because you're really taking a shot because honestly, looking at

468
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: him like you want to plug him as the wide

469
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 3: receiver one. But I just don't look at it that

470
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 3: way that they're gonna constantly keep feeding him that volume

471
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 3: that A one actually needs for a target share. Like

472
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 3: I don't see him coming in with a twenty percent

473
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: target share where most of the elite guys get like

474
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 3: it's gonna be spread apart with you know, Jalen Koker,

475
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 3: it's gonna be Xavirie La Guett moving around here and there,

476
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 3: and you still have old man Thielin going out there

477
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 3: putting up big number. So it's more so looking at

478
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: he's gonna be utilized properly, and the way that Florio

479
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: served him up the yards after the catch is definitely there.

480
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: He is such a huge threat in the middle of

481
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 3: the field as well, so lining him up all over

482
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 3: the place is gonna give defenses just constantly guessing like

483
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: where this ball is gonna go. And you obviously get

484
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: Bryce Young more guys that he could really dispose and

485
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 3: get the ball out quick, because honestly, will you watch

486
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 3: t max tape. I mean, honestly, the comeback route is

487
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 3: one of the most elite things that he has in

488
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 3: his arsenal because of his length, it's strength after the call.

489
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 3: So they're getting guys that can separate. That was such

490
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 3: a huge issue for the Panthers when they couldn't find

491
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 3: wide receivers to create that separation. So I think this

492
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: is such a good pick, But for fantasy managers, we

493
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: have to have our expectations tempered because I know people

494
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: want to peg him as a wide receiver one on

495
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 3: that team, but he's just simply probably not going to

496
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 3: get that type of buyme.

497
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the thing I see in the

498
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: chat Tom O'Malley saying I like the look of McMillan

499
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: for fantasy, and I don't disagree. I do think there's

500
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: something there. I think it's more of a longer term play.

501
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that it's going to necessarily pay huge

502
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: dividends for you in year one, but I do think

503
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: down the road there is something here. If Bryce Young

504
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: continues to develop the way we saw him develop at

505
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: the end of last season, they've got some weapons there.

506
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 1: I think if we see more from le get Get,

507
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: a little bit from Cocher, I would like to see

508
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: them maybe upgrade the offensive line a little bit as well.

509
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: But I do I think there's something there with tar

510
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: Ro McMillan there in Carolina.

511
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: Real quick. Shout out to Tom O'Malley because he's he

512
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 2: put in the chat that it is five am in

513
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 2: Ireland right now, So.

514
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: Shout out to you, for sure, sir. We salute you

515
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: for hanging out with us at this point in the day,

516
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: for sure. Next up, Colston Loveland is the first side

517
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: end off the board. He goes number ten to the

518
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. And this is what I think caught a

519
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: lot of us by surprise. Maybe not Daniel Jeremiah, but

520
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah is sort of you know, he's the oracle

521
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: when it comes to these sorts of things, right, Like,

522
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: maybe we should have known because he had them very

523
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: much neck and neck. I thought maybe there was some

524
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: daylight between Tyler Warren and Colston Loveland. Apparently not. The

525
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: Bears loved him enough to take him at ten. In fact,

526
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: I believe I saw he was the first tight end

527
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: the Bears have taken inside the top ten since a

528
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: guy named Mike Ditka many many many years ago.

529
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 2: Did he have a good career?

530
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he had. He had an okay career?

531
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 4: Uh that that with Will ferrelle.

532
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: Who knows. Maybe that's the thing, and maybe he could

533
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: probably won't be any movies with Will Ferrell, but maybe

534
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: something maybe there's something else there. I don't know, but

535
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, I was sort of the opinion that really

536
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: the only guy that we might be able to rely

537
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: on as a first year tight end was going to

538
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: be Tyler Warren. I mean, LaQuan, do I have to

539
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: rethink that is Colston Lovelin? Now maybe a guy we

540
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: got to pay attention to in fantasy drafts this year?

541
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Do you know who's on the sticks over there

542
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 3: in Chicago? Ben Johnson, Like, boy, we saw his impact

543
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 3: with san Laporta in his first year. I honestly think

544
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 3: this was a pick where they're comfortable with moving him

545
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 3: in the slot, moving around because Keenan Allen's still on

546
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 3: the streets right now and they were okay moving on

547
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: for him. But they get another big body, tight end,

548
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 3: another playmaker for them in Colston Lovelin. I'm honestly thinking, like, hey,

549
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 3: he's definitely gonna come off the draft boards over Tyler Warren,

550
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 3: just based on the creativity of what Ben Johnson and

551
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 3: the quarterback play. Like, Caleb Williams is set up for

552
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: success and they've been building those trenches to give him

553
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 3: protection and having a guy like Loveland having that size

554
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 3: and being able to move the way he does in

555
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 3: the route running and contested catch Like, there's so many

556
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 3: qualities about Loveland that, honestly, I don't see how Caleb

557
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 3: Williams fails.

558
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean, could could Caleb Williams possibly fail?

559
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 7: Why?

560
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: No, I'm saying it because I'm I'm cautious, like I

561
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: want I don't want him to fail, But like you know,

562
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: everybody was so hyped on him last year and it.

563
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 2: Was just kind of nah, if he it's on him right,

564
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 2: like the play calling upgrade, the O line upgrade. He's

565
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 2: got good pass catchers around him. They're probably gonna draft

566
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 2: a running back tomorrow or Saturday, like they all. I

567
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: like this pick a lot more for Caleb than I

568
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 2: do for Loveland himself. I think Loveland probably gets drafted

569
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: in that like low end tighten one, high end tight

570
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 2: end two range. But DJ Moore is going to see

571
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: what twenty five percent of the targets Roma Dnesay I

572
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 2: expect is going to have a large target share.

573
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: Uh.

574
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 2: We know the running backs are gonna be involved in

575
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: the passing game, and I don't think cole Kmet just

576
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 2: goes away. So like, I don't think I think Comet's

577
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: days of being fantasy relevant might be over, at least

578
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: for this end season.

579
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 4: But I like, I don't know.

580
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: I don't feel like this was a slam dunk for Loveland.

581
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: It does feel like he's a nice piece for the

582
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: Action Bears offense. Yeah, but I'm not sure that he's

583
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: the piece that we're gonna say He's not going to

584
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: fill in where you know, Sam Laporta and Brock Bauers

585
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: were as rookies, like I don't see that happening.

586
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 4: I ain't say all that. I say all that.

587
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 2: You know, Lakwan instead of here tight end won this year.

588
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: So then okay, so Lakwan, I'll ask you this then,

589
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: Colston Loveletard T. J. Hawkinson Man, ah man, that was

590
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: you had to think about it. You really didn't have

591
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: to think about it.

592
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to think about my thoughts before I

593
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: just spew you out. But uh, I probably would go

594
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 3: Hawk then. And you know, you know how I feel

595
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: about Hawk this year. I'm a little little I might

596
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: go howk to feel a little safer.

597
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: Oh so you so we found somebody that.

598
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 4: It's a it's a rookie. I'm still taking John Ue

599
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 4: a Hawk.

600
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: And we don't have that. Well, you're taking John new

601
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: because you know you had to.

602
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: X where the blonde hair is.

603
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: It's true we did. Heywood Wong wants to know where

604
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: where is the hair dye? Hair dye job for La Kwan.

605
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 4: You know, my wife is not really a big fan

606
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 4: of it.

607
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 3: So I still want to sleep in the same bed

608
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 3: and cut on and not be looked at it as

609
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 3: a complete crazy maniac with blonde hair.

610
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 4: Out of noise.

611
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: Everybody I thought she. I thought she sort of warmed

612
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: up to it. I mean, you only had it for

613
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: like thirty six hours, but I thought she got warmed

614
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: up to it a little bit.

615
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 4: She ain't that big of a fan of it.

616
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: All right, all right, fair enough, fair enough. As we

617
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: go down the list, Uh so Colston loved Them goes

618
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: at number ten. Number fourteen is Tyler Warren. Uh he

619
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: goes to the Indianapolis Colts. They were very much considered

620
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: a favorite to go and get a tight end. I

621
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: think everybody thought they were going to get Tyler Warren.

622
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: I think everybody just thought that Warren was gonna come

623
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: over the bar before Loveland did. Uh is the only

624
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: thing there that was I think the only surprise. I

625
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: love Tyler Warren. I think now I think he is

626
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: the next guy to follow in the laporta brock Bauers footsteps.

627
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: And now I don't think, let me just preface it here.

628
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna go out and set some

629
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: sort of rookie record for tight end receptions the way

630
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: we saw with brock Bauers or anything like that. But

631
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: I do think, and you know, you guys can correct

632
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: me if you think I'm wrong if I'm crazy, but Lakwan,

633
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: I do think that Tyler Warren will be talking about

634
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: him as a top ten, maybe even top eight fantasy

635
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: tight end this year.

636
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 4: But who's going to be the quarterback?

637
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the biggest issue here.

638
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 3: That a huge question mark that I don't know, Like,

639
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: I'm so hesitant because one, they never had a problem

640
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 3: of finding pass catchers that were weapons.

641
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 4: Alex Pierce, he's a deep threat. Michael Pittman.

642
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 3: We haven't seen the best of him because he had

643
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 3: an injury last season, but cool, he is still serviceable.

644
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: Josh Downs is an absolute dog. So it's just one

645
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 3: of those things of like, Okay, we have the pieces around,

646
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 3: it's a very crowded room for Warren to be coming into.

647
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: But the only difference that he has with all these guys,

648
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 3: all the other pass catchers, is his versatility, your ability

649
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 3: to be you know, disguising of where he could be

650
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: at and be creative of how you want to utilize them.

651
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 3: He could throw the ball, catch the ball, run the ball,

652
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 3: whatever the case may be. But more so looking at

653
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 3: who is going to be the quarterback? If you tell

654
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 3: me Anthony Richardson is going to be the starting quarterback,

655
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 3: I'm a little hands off. If it's Daniel Jones, I

656
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 3: might be like, maybe, okay, but I will pay the

657
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 3: tight end options. Like I'm just not quite sure that

658
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 3: I trust the decision making that the Colts have had

659
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 3: these last couple of seasons, Like it's one of those things,

660
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 3: like it looks like a great landing spot, but for fantasy,

661
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 3: I'm just like, I don't know, it just feels a

662
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 3: little weird for me.

663
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: So maybe I'm maybe I'm maybe you need missle gymnastics

664
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: on this floyo?

665
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 2: Could it work?

666
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: Could it work with Anthony Richardson? Just because he's not

667
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: very accurate? So why not give him some shorten intermediate

668
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: throws to work with it?

669
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: Side in right, and not only give him short intermediate throws,

670
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 2: have him throw to the like people like to say, oh,

671
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: he can't hit the side of a barn. Let him

672
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: throw to a player that is the size of a bar,

673
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: like that's what he If you cannot hit Tyler Warren

674
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 2: across the middle, you don't deserve to be playing in

675
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 2: the NFL, like simply put. And then if it's Daniel Jones,

676
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 2: he loves quick, short throws to the middle, of the field.

677
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 2: Wandel Robinson made a living off of catching hill quick

678
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: passes from Daniel Jones. So I agree with you. I

679
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: think a lot of people are not going to like

680
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 2: this landing spot because of the quarterbacks. But to me, Warren,

681
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 2: his size and his skill set, I think he's almost

682
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: QB proof, Like, as long as you could put the

683
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: ball in his vicinity, he will catch it and he

684
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: will turn it into probably a long game. And you

685
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 2: could tell me now if you think I'm crazy. I

686
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: think there is a chance year one that Tyler Warren

687
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: comes in and leads this team in targets, like more

688
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: than Pittman, more than Down, more than all of them.

689
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: Hmm, I see, I'm yeah, that's spicy. I'm not I'm

690
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: not willing to go there, but I here's the thing.

691
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: I can imagine a I can imagine a strand of

692
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: the multiverse where maybe that comes to pass.

693
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: You know, we need Anthony Richardson Warren playing catch tomorrow.

694
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: No, here's the thing about Tyler Warren. And if you

695
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: watched any Penn State football this past year, you knew

696
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: they didn't really have wide receivers. I mean, they had

697
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: guys who played the position, but none of them were

698
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 1: really true threats, and you knew most of the time,

699
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: and especially in gotta have it situations, you knew that

700
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: ball was going to go to Tyler Warren. And he

701
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: made a lot of ridiculous catches and big situations for

702
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: the Nitney Lions all year long last year. So I

703
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: think he's no stranger to getting targets, to making tough catches,

704
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: to being a security blanket for a quarterback. And I

705
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: think we could see that a lot his first year

706
00:34:58,960 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis.

707
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a crazy take, but if I'm taking a

708
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 2: chance on any of these guy Colts pass catchers, for me,

709
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: it's gonna be Warren. Because I say it a lot

710
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 2: like the bar for tight end success is so much

711
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 2: lower than wide receivers.

712
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: That's very as well. Yeah yeah, yeah, Heywood says thought

713
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: Warren was going to the Jets. I couldn't imagine. Yeah.

714
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: I just felt like seven was really early for for

715
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: Tyler Warren. Maybe if the Jets were able to trade down,

716
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: I think that would have been more more likely.

717
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 3: Justin fields, man, I mean, that's that's the most important

718
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 3: part of it, you know. So I kind of figured

719
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 3: that was the way they were going to go.

720
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: They didn't take a tackle armand membut at number seven,

721
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: so that probably is more It makes more sense.

722
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 2: Thought, if you're the Bears, right and you're sitting there

723
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 2: at ten, why didn't you trade down.

724
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: Like you probably could have moved a few spots back

725
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: that was going to help and still got Loveland. Yeah.

726
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 2: I didn't think of that until right now, but like, yeah.

727
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: I mean, and who says that, who says they didn't try?

728
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 1: Maybe they're just no offers that that they really liked

729
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: at that point. I'm not really sure. All right, here's

730
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: the here's gonna be the interesting conversation because when the

731
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: when Roger Goodell announced that the Buccaneers were taking a

732
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: Mecca Abuka, our tex chain kind of had a little

733
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: bit of a moment. It was as very much a wait,

734
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: what huh, what's happening here? Because it did. I think

735
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: it caught us all by surprise, right, because you look

736
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: at that offense and they got Mike Evans and they

737
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: just you know, they just resigned Chris Godwin and they've

738
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: got Jayleen McMillan, who we all really like. So the

739
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: fact that they went out and drafted Abuca, it just

740
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: was immediately a head scratcher. But Lakwan, you touched on

741
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: it at the start of this show that when you

742
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 1: sort of dig into it, maybe it's not all bad, right,

743
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: Like there are reasons when you start to sort of

744
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: strip away the play that maybe this pick is not

745
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: as crazy as it originally seemed.

746
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, this probably.

747
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 3: Won't be a pick that you know, makes fantasy impact

748
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 3: in year one. Like they're looking for the future. They

749
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 3: locked in Baker, so Baker has you know, compimary weapons

750
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 3: for the next couple of years because Mike Evans is

751
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 3: gonna ride off into sunset pretty soon. So they're gonna

752
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 3: need weapons around Baker to keep this, you know, afloat man.

753
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 3: They still got to compete in the South. Like, I

754
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 3: honestly look at this as like we just got to

755
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 3: be patient. We just have to wait for him to

756
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: get his opportunity, like we might see flashes this season,

757
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 3: who knows, you know what I mean. So I'm looking

758
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 3: at it like it's unfortunate you won't be able to

759
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 3: take him off the draft board, you know, in those

760
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 3: mid rounds, you know, this summer. But I guess you

761
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: could take a dart throw in those bestball leagues you know,

762
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 3: maybe there's another injury or Chris Godin, Mike Evans. These

763
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 3: guys are up there and they have an injury history,

764
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 3: so he might find a way to find opportunity to

765
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 3: get on the field this season and be usable. So

766
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 3: it's one of those things that you just wish he

767
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 3: went to a location where he can get the volume

768
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 3: from day one and then have all those type of

769
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 3: flashes and develop. But it's more so of like just wait,

770
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 3: just wait and see, you know, just be patient.

771
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: I think that's the thing, Floria. When we look at

772
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: these guys in the first round, we're always expecting that

773
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: they're going to walk into situations where they're going to

774
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: be fantasy relevant or at least have the opportunity to

775
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: be fantasy relevant right away. This feels more like a

776
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: keeper league, dynasty league situation, just because even if even

777
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: if we see Abuka get on the field, it just

778
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: feels like there's too much competition for him to really

779
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: be impactful in year one.

780
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only way that I think he becomes fantasy

781
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 2: relevant is if something like last year happens where one

782
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 2: of the top guys go down, like cause that's what

783
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 2: opened it up for Jalen McMillan, because we were excited

784
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: about Jayleen McMillan coming into the year, and before Godwin

785
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 2: got hurt, he was averaging fifteen yards per game. Bit

786
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 2: it was then Godwin gets hurt and all of a sudden,

787
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 2: he's a wide receiver three that we're talking about starting

788
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 2: most weeks. So this especially kills both of their values

789
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: because now McMillan and Abukba are gonna be competing for

790
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: that wide receiver three spot and those touches behind Godwin

791
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 2: and Evans. But I think Lakwan hit the nail on

792
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 2: the head here, Like I think the Bucks are looking

793
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 2: long term and they're like, we have Baker paid. And

794
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 2: this is something a lot of teams do. They draft

795
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 2: a year or two before they have a need. So

796
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 2: now you have a guy here who could get that chemistry.

797
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: And when his time comes, either when Mike Evans retires

798
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 2: or god forbid, Chris Godwin isn't the same player this

799
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: year coming off of another pretty severe injuries something like that,

800
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 2: or he takes time to get air, whatever the case

801
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 2: may be, you now have your long term insurance plan

802
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 2: in place. But I agree, a name that's much more

803
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 2: appealing in Dynasty for Redraft, I think he's purely like

804
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: a late.

805
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: Round dart throw. Yeah, I think so too. I mean

806
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: I like the long term prognosis for America Abuka. I

807
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: just in twenty twenty five, I think it's gonna be

808
00:39:55,800 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: really hard to get any true consistent fantasy production from him.

809
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: So that's at number nineteen. A few picks later, at

810
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: number twenty two, the Los Angeles Chargers go with a

811
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: running back. This is a team. I don't know how

812
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: many more ways they have to say it. Maybe they

813
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: can buy a billboard off the four h five. We

814
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: want to run the ball like that is a thing

815
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: that they at all costs, right, I mean, they hire

816
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, he brings in Greg Roman, they draft Joe

817
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: Alt they were trucking running backs over from Baltimore. Right,

818
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: They bring in JK. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. They drafted

819
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: Kamani Vidal. Now they go and sign Najee Harris in

820
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: free agency. By the way, I know, right, you have

821
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: like you have one of the best seasons of your career.

822
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: And then they go get Najie Harris. And then they

823
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: draft Omarion Hampton, who by many accounts was the number

824
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: two running back in this class behind Ashton Jentt.

825
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 2: One.

826
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: I guess one for me poor one out for Kamani

827
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: medal because he was a guy that I thought had

828
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: some some sleeper value last year that didn't really work out,

829
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: and now there's another guy that's probably going to be

830
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: ahead of him, uh in the pecking order there in

831
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: Los Angeles.

832
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 2: One.

833
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: I guess, Floria, how are you looking at Hampton knowing

834
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 1: what that backfield is going to be? You know what,

835
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: mid round, late round? Where would you take a shot

836
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: at him?

837
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 2: I think mid round. I'm expecting him to go in

838
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 2: that like low end RB two range, maybe like he

839
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 2: slides to the high end rby three. But I I

840
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 2: might be the wrong person to ask because I like Hampton,

841
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: I don't love him, and everyone else had him as

842
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 2: like their consensus RB two. I didn't. I had him

843
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 2: at three.

844
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: Uh.

845
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 2: There was a running back who didn't get drafted today, Henderson,

846
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 2: who I personally liked more. But when I thought Hampton,

847
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 2: specialty was like his best calling card is this dude

848
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 2: was built to handle like three hundred plus touches and

849
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 2: get all the volume. But that's what Naji Harris was

850
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 2: also put on this planet to do right. And I

851
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 2: know Hampton is faster than Naji Harris, but I kind

852
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 2: of thought of him like a little bit similar, Like

853
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,959
Speaker 2: he's good for chunk plays. I don't think he's gonna

854
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 2: be breaking out these long touchdown runs. And other people

855
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 2: seem to disagree, but I just when I watched him,

856
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 2: I saw him getting chased down at times, and I

857
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 2: didn't really love that. But I don't think Naji Harris

858
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 2: just goes away either. And I think it's very possible

859
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 2: that they could split passing down work, or it could

860
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 2: be nause seeing that, or goal Lie could go to him.

861
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: So I know some people were really celebrating this, like

862
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 2: the Chargers want to run the ton and they're going

863
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 2: to but I wanted to all go to one guy,

864
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 2: or the bulk of it to go to one guy.

865
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 2: And this feels like a committee written all over it.

866
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: So feels like for me. Lakwan, another North Carolina running

867
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: back that people had high hopes for that went to

868
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: a situation where he had to share now was Javonte Williams,

869
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: Like Meloy, yeah right, he went, melgo stop doing that.

870
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 4: Stop.

871
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: We cannot let Adam Rank win on that way. Right,

872
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: he's not Melgo. We're not doing that, dude, Melgo.

873
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 2: I haven't said that name in three years now.

874
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 1: I had honestly forgotten about Melgo until just this very moment.

875
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: But it does feel a little bit like that. Though Lakwan,

876
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: where it's a guy coming out of North Carolina had

877
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: a lot of high people were very excited about him.

878
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 1: He goes to a place that already has an established

879
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: running back, and yeah, he probably will get some opportunity,

880
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: but it's very much going to be at least a

881
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: two headed monster, maybe a three headed monster if for

882
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: some reason Greg Roman decides he's cool with Hassan Haskins

883
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know.

884
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 3: The way I look at this is that they made

885
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 3: this pick for the future. Obviously, you have a workhorse. Workhorse,

886
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 3: DNA is all over him. But when you look at Nagy,

887
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 3: he's been running in oversized wet jeans.

888
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 4: He is not that.

889
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 2: Pass or efficient.

890
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 3: I've been trying to tell you guys like this guy

891
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 3: has been underwhelming efficiency wise, like three point nine yards

892
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 3: per carriers since his time in Pittsburgh. They're looking at

893
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 3: Hampton like, Okay, we're gonna double down on the run.

894
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 3: We need somebody that's gonna be efficient, and JK. Dobbins

895
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 3: was that guy. He was efficient, but he didn't have

896
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,439
Speaker 3: that breakaway speed. He was getting chased down a lot.

897
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 3: Sounds a lot like Hampton, but what he adds to

898
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 3: the plate is efficiency. He's going to be able to

899
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 3: get you the first downs, to convert, get you and

900
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 3: scoring opportunities, red zone, etc.

901
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:42,720
Speaker 1: Et cetera.

902
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 3: Naji's still gonna get ran down to the ground because

903
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 3: he's on a one year contract, so they're already looking

904
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 3: at his past work. They're looking at it like, oh, man,

905
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 3: I love Nagy, but I don't know about Naji. I

906
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 3: don't know if he's gonna be the guy for us.

907
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 3: So this pick, I absolutely love it. And for fantasy

908
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 3: I am drafting him at as like an RB three,

909
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 3: RB four.

910
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 4: He's making my.

911
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 3: Roster because I could see the change happening mid season,

912
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 3: and then when we get to the playoff season, we're

913
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 3: gonna be looking at Hampton like, Hey, what's up, bro,

914
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 3: I'm glad I drafted you in August because he is

915
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 3: going to be chasing guys to the playoffs. I'm telling

916
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 3: you now, man, I'm calling it now.

917
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I was just in my head, I'm just

918
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: imagining Najie Harris running in junko jeans. I'm just like,

919
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm just like I was, just like you said, oversized

920
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: wet jeans. And then my mind just sort of wandered

921
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: after that a little bit. Here's the other part of

922
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: this equation though, right, they do still have Justin Herbert at.

923
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 2: Quarterback, and Lad McConkie and.

924
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 1: Ladd McConkie, and they brought back Mike Williams the yes,

925
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: but Mike Williams nonetheless, and Quentin Johnston still walks the

926
00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: earth for whatever that's worth. I just don't know what

927
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: to do with this offense, Like it just feels like

928
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: a heap and help and of me, it's kind of

929
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: what it feels like.

930
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 4: It's only day one that you know they might add

931
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 4: some more guys.

932
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 2: They're another running back, all fun and games.

933
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: When quin Shawn Jackson said shows up in Los Angeles.

934
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 2: Bring back JK Like there's the full running back system.

935
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 3: They're gonna convert those first downs on the ground somehow, some.

936
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: Kind of way. All right, I gotta go more picks,

937
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: at least that are fantasy relevant. Matthew Golden goes to

938
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers hate So you know, I was.

939
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: I was watching the NFL network coverage of it, and

940
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: and Mark Murphy comes out and makes the whole big

941
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: thing like for the first time since two thousand and two,

942
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: and everybody's like.

943
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 2: We're drafting a wide receiver.

944
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 8: I was just like, no, yeah, here, no, like no,

945
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 8: like you know, it's just it's like I would say,

946
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 8: it's like collecting Pokemon, but it's like collecting a whole

947
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 8: bunch of.

948
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:08,879
Speaker 1: Mid level Pokemon, right, like right, like you're just getting

949
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of just like knids, And like, you know,

950
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: Matthew Golden, Matthew Golden would be really good in a

951
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: situation where he's not expected to be the alpha, right

952
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: And I don't know, maybe this is this is Matt

953
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 1: Lafleur's whole thing about, Like I don't want to have

954
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: a number one receiver. It's talking about it makes me

955
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: sick to my stomach. Bro, you need a number one

956
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver. You need that guy that other defenses have

957
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: to pay attention to, that guy that defensive coordinators get

958
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: a little bit nervous when they have to face it. Now,

959
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: you just got a whole bunch of you know, like

960
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: our pale hypom Kloni producer High Kalani just refers to

961
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: with his oatmeal. It's it's it's fine, it's good enough

962
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 1: when you go out to breakfast, when you got to

963
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: breakfast with your friends and family, you're like, mmm, let

964
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,760
Speaker 1: me get some of that oatmeal, Like you just don't

965
00:47:54,800 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: do that, Like that's I'm still. I'm done. I'm I'm

966
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: with packers wide receivers. I'm not. I don't want to

967
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: wade through them. I don't want to sift through them.

968
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 1: I don't want to choose. I don't want to like three,

969
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to figure out, like, oh is this

970
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: the this the Jayden red Week? Is this Christian? Why

971
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: is it Romeo? I don't, I don't. I'm done. Somebody

972
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: else to have that.

973
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 2: Headache, man wi but like done, Like I like Jayden Reid,

974
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,399
Speaker 2: I like Matthew Golden. But if I have to take

975
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 2: any of them as more than a wide receiver four,

976
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 2: I am just not interested because of it. I might

977
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 2: not even want him in that range, you know, because

978
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 2: of everything you just said, Marcus and the thing with

979
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 2: Golden right, like he's very versatile, which is good for

980
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 2: him and for real life, But it's just going to

981
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 2: make it a nightmare for fantasy because I think that

982
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 2: the Packers are viewing their wide receiver room like chess

983
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 2: pieces and we can move them all over and and that, Like, look,

984
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 2: it's cool for it's fun to for you're a Packers fan.

985
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 2: It sucks for fantasy.

986
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's this. It just sucks.

987
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 3: Honasty folks gotta be pulling their hair out when with

988
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 3: all these Packer wide receivers, Like what do you do?

989
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 4: Like what are you selling for?

990
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 3: Or like I don't see myself buying a Packers I

991
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 3: don't see me drafting a Packer in any format this

992
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 3: season because the exact reason is Mark and said, I'm

993
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 3: gonna have a headache to know which week it is.

994
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 3: Is it gonna be Romeo, Dobbs, Jayden Reed. I don't

995
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 3: like those headaches. I want to be stress free on Sunday,

996
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 3: watch my rams collect the dub and watch my fantasy

997
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 3: rosters start and sit and forget. And when I don't

998
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 3: need a Packers wide receiver stressing me out every single week.

999
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 4: I'm really getting hot about this, man. I hate the

1000
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 4: Well here's.

1001
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: The other part about this too, is that you know

1002
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 1: a lot of times we look at that and you're like, oh,

1003
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: well they're good. They're not even better in best ball

1004
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: because like, I don't even think the ceiling is that

1005
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: high on any one guy right, like points right, Like

1006
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: I guess, I don't know. Maybe maybe you you'll get

1007
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: like the one Christian Watson blow up week or something.

1008
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: But to your point, look what it is. It's like

1009
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: it's like fifteen to seventeen points, Like I think that's

1010
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: the ceiling on these guys every single week. It's it's

1011
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: just not exciting like at all for fantasy.

1012
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 2: And the other part is like it's not like one

1013
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 2: of those rooms like the chiefs or the bills where

1014
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 2: they spread it out. But you're like, all right, but

1015
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 2: the quarterback is gonna eat, Like I'm not even excited

1016
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 2: for Jordan.

1017
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:20,280
Speaker 1: Love No, no, no, Like what is like a bland mile.

1018
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: It's like it's it's like it's I don't know, some

1019
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: kind of bland. I don't know. My cheese is well

1020
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 1: enough to make a Wisconsin.

1021
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 4: Cheese unseasoned chicken. There you go, all right, let's moisture.

1022
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: Uh So the last one here, maybe the head scratchingest one.

1023
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I know, Lakwan, you said that

1024
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:47,240
Speaker 1: the Abuka one was the one that confused you the most.

1025
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart. Jackson Dart in part because it was he's

1026
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: the number two quarterback off the board, but also because

1027
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: the Giants traded into the first round. They gave up

1028
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: assets to move up and get Jackson Dart in a

1029
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: situation where like, I don't know, I don't know if

1030
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: they were worried that the Browns were maybe gonna jump,

1031
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 1: but if the Browns jump back up, like, I don't

1032
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: think it was gonna be for Dart. The Giants had

1033
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: the number two pick in the second round, with both

1034
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: Sanders and Dart still on the board. I don't understand

1035
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: why this happened. I don't think Jackson Dart is going

1036
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:37,439
Speaker 1: to play very much this year. No, Like I don't

1037
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: think he beats out Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston for

1038
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:45,160
Speaker 1: any significant playing time. It's him and Tommy DeVito battling

1039
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:50,720
Speaker 1: for the QB three job in New York. Tommy Florida'll

1040
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: make it make sense.

1041
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 2: Well, I it's not what I would have done, so

1042
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 2: I don't get it. But putting some clues together, I

1043
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 2: was listening to NFL radio today actually, and they were

1044
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 2: saying that apparently the Sanders interview with Brian Dable did

1045
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 2: not go particularly well, and that the Giants just really

1046
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 2: liked when they met with Jackson darr And then we

1047
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 2: heard reports that they met with him earlier this week,

1048
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 2: and then I know they there was another report that

1049
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,479
Speaker 2: like they were trying for the last couple of days

1050
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 2: to get a trade in place to be able to

1051
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 2: jump back in the first round. All great, if he

1052
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 2: was the best quarterback on the board, which look they

1053
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 2: clearly think he was. We all thought it was Sanders,

1054
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 2: and I think most of the NFL probably thinks it's Sanders.

1055
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 2: Like if I'm the Giants, I'm sitting there calling every

1056
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 2: team that's up, Like, once Sanders goes, I want to

1057
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 2: jump and take your pick, right because once he goes,

1058
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 2: then I think you really have to worry about Dart

1059
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,240
Speaker 2: going and not making it to round two. But while

1060
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 2: both of them were on the board, I would have

1061
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 2: treated it like a fantasy draft, you know, like there's

1062
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 2: two qbs that I I feel good about. When one goes,

1063
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 2: that's what I'm gonna jump in and get the other.

1064
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 2: And right now it's looking like the Browns might have

1065
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 2: played this right because they could get Sanders in the

1066
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 2: second round, and I am surprised no one jumped up

1067
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 2: to take him in round one to get that fiftyear option.

1068
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, I agree with you, Marcus. It's gonna be

1069
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson most of the year, maybe we get Dart

1070
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 2: at the end of the year. He's purely a dynasty pick,

1071
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 2: and uh, yeah, it would have been a fun QB room.

1072
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 2: And I think there would be a lot more pressure

1073
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 2: to start Sanders than Dart if they went that direct.

1074
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, I mean I do think that's why if

1075
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm the Giants, don't I don't take Sanders because you are,

1076
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: I think pressured a little bit more because he is

1077
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: more ready to go right now. And especially when you

1078
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: signed at this point two veteran kind of journeyman quarterbacks

1079
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: that are essentially placeholders for whatever you're gonna do in

1080
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: the future, I think it's harder to hold off Shador Sanders.

1081
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: You know, It's it's harder to make your QB three

1082
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: when you're number one and two are Russell Wilson and

1083
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston at this point in their careers. So having

1084
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart gives you a little more runway. But I

1085
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: also think you could have gotten Jackson Dart at pick

1086
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:19,720
Speaker 1: thirty four. Yeah, you know, you really could have just waited,

1087
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 1: like you could have just waited.

1088
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 3: Like with this move, they are just setting up the

1089
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 3: next coach to be able to develop Jackson Dart.

1090
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 4: So that's cool.

1091
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 3: Shout out to them for setting up the next coach

1092
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 3: in GM to do all this because this is it,

1093
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 3: man Like, this does not look like this is on

1094
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 3: the course to be a successful Giants offense. I'm sorry,

1095
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,359
Speaker 3: I don't care who they draft on day two, day three.

1096
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 3: Like it is what it is, Jackson Dart, you are

1097
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 3: a New York Giant see in twenty twenty six. Whoever

1098
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 3: the quarterback coaches, whoever the GM head coach developed this

1099
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 3: guy as a player, as a complete quarterback, because I

1100
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 3: honestly do believe he has some tools, he has some

1101
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 3: traits that he could be a starting quarterback in this league.

1102
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 3: There's just need there just needs to be the right

1103
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 3: coach to develop him. I wanted him to come to

1104
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 3: LA with Sean McVay to learn from Matthew Stafford and

1105
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 3: even your guy Jimmy g that op.

1106
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 4: But anyway, I just don't. Yeah, yeah, you're a guy

1107
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 4: ex San Francisco.

1108
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: Me and James Richard Garoppolo are not friends. That's like,

1109
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 1: you know, I wish him well, like I have no

1110
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: ill will toward him. I'm you know, I I don't

1111
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 1: necessarily want him quarterbacking my favorite football team anymore. Uh

1112
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: but but me and James are not friends.

1113
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 3: Goes down at any point and I have to watch

1114
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 3: Jimmy g play football for that.

1115
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you could watch you could watch Stetson Bennett

1116
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: play football.

1117
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 2: Brian Dabile developed Josh Allen. All he has to do

1118
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 2: is do that again. The way that people throw that

1119
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 2: out annoys me so much, Like like it's if it's

1120
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 2: that easy, everyone would do it, you know.

1121
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: All Right, So let's take a look again at the

1122
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: first round, the guys, the fantasy relevant guys that win

1123
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: the first round Florida. I will start with you, who

1124
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: is your who's your favorite pick in this round? Who's

1125
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: your least favorite pick in this round?

1126
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 2: I'll start with the least favorite. It's a Beck, maybe

1127
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 2: it's Golden, I don't know. It's one of those two

1128
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 2: wide receivers for my least favorite pick. The two my

1129
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 2: favorite was Travis Hunter because that's my guy, and uh,

1130
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 2: I think he's an elite wide receiver. I know a

1131
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 2: lot of people do as well, but I think, uh,

1132
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 2: some people were pushing him to be a corner and

1133
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 2: I really want him to be a wide receiver. And

1134
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 2: then gent like he's the obvious one oh one in

1135
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 2: rookie drafts. He's gonna be a first round pick. He

1136
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,520
Speaker 2: was the biggest Fantasy winner of anyone today, but we

1137
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 2: knew he would be coming in.

1138
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, favorite, least favorite, Lacon.

1139
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 3: My favorites A Mari and Hampton. To the Chargers, you

1140
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 3: already know what they're gonna do. They're gonna run the rock.

1141
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 3: So I'm excited to be taking him off the draft

1142
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 3: board in those mid to lay rounds and folks are

1143
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,479
Speaker 3: gonna forget about him, you know. And Naji's an ADP

1144
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,320
Speaker 3: obviously falls down as well because in besketball leagues before

1145
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 3: the draft, he was a steal. But you know, you

1146
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 3: kind of had to figure that they were going to

1147
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 3: bring it in a running back, but at least favored

1148
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 3: has to be Matthew Golden. I just cannot stand a pick.

1149
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 4: I hate it.

1150
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 3: It just doesn't make sense. For fantasy, and we're not

1151
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 3: gonna be talking about him much on Sundays.

1152
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's consensus. Golden is I think our

1153
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: least favorite pick in this one. It just I don't

1154
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 1: get it. I mean I get it for the Packers'

1155
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: point of view, but for fantasy, it does absolutely nothing

1156
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: for any of us, So that one is sort of out.

1157
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: I think for here from KOTJ for twelve, I like

1158
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 1: Tea Matt going to the Panthers with Bryce Big New

1159
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: or new big target. They'll be playing from behind nice

1160
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: spot for fantasy. I think it'll be fine. I do

1161
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: think it's more of a long play than it is

1162
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: a short term play, and so i'd say this for me,

1163
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: if we're talking sort of long term plays, my favorite

1164
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: is Abuka in Tampas. I do think there's some long

1165
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: term value there. Maybe not this year, but I think

1166
00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: down the road. For right now, it's Johnt. I think

1167
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: Ashton john T is the guy that that comes in

1168
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: gets the huge workload there. Pete Carroll, you know, is

1169
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: gonna want to run the football. Chip Kelly the offensive coordinator,

1170
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how he is as a

1171
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: head coach. I don't think he's particularly great. But I

1172
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 1: think as an offensive coordinator, I think he's very creative.

1173
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: I think he's very good, and I'll find creative ways

1174
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: to run the football. So I do like what John

1175
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 1: c has to offer potentially as a guy right on

1176
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: the rock in twenty twenty five.

1177
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 2: Has carl are gonna come together and be like, so

1178
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 2: you think four hundred and fifty touches is doable.

1179
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 1: At all times? You're okay with that? You're good with that? Yeah, sure, sure,

1180
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: look at him be like more exactly earlier in the week,

1181
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: we had the chance to talk to Panthers well now,

1182
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: second year wide receiver Xavier Lee get get his thoughts

1183
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: on his rookie year, his rookie journey, and just you know,

1184
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: sort of talk to him about some things. A caveat

1185
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: to this, we talked to him on Wednesday before the

1186
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers spent a first round pick on Ceterroll McMillan,

1187
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 1: So there will be no talk of that because we

1188
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: didn't know about it at the time, but a pretty

1189
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: good conversation as well. Let you take a listen to that.

1190
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: Right now, I have a special guest with us today.

1191
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: It is Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier League get Xavier,

1192
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 1: appreciate you hanging out with us. Man. How are you today?

1193
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 7: I'm good, I'm good. I appreciate y'all having me on.

1194
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. So you had your you just went through your

1195
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: rookie season there in Carolina. Tell us a little bit

1196
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: about what that experience was like. What were some of

1197
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: the things that stood out to you in that first year?

1198
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 6: Oh, and I say, I think the season it was okay.

1199
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 6: It was a little bit of a roller coaster. It

1200
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 6: could have been better, it could have been worse, but

1201
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 6: I mean I think overall it was it was a

1202
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 6: pretty good season. I think it's going to be better

1203
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 6: this upcoming year. I don't cameralize on the things that

1204
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 6: I hate negative space in last year and turn them

1205
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 6: into some bead man.

1206
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 7: That's all I'm trying to do.

1207
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 2: And speaking of year two, what are do you have

1208
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 2: any goals for yourself or what are your expectations for

1209
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 2: your second year in the NFL?

1210
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 7: Oh Man, only goal I really have. It just makes

1211
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 7: this up coming you're better than elast year.

1212
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: For you. I mean everybody talks about that adjustment going

1213
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 1: from the college game to the NFL. For you, what

1214
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 1: was the biggest change stepping up to that next level.

1215
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 6: I'll just say, man, the NFL is more detailed than

1216
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 6: than playing in college. I wouldn't say the speed of

1217
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 6: the game was in a different or the competition was

1218
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 6: in a different I think is more so actually knowing

1219
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 6: your assignment and being able to be the best player

1220
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 6: at doing what you're doing.

1221
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 2: And you you have the privilege of playing with a

1222
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 2: good young, up and coming quarterback in Bryce Young, And

1223
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 2: it seemed to me as an outsider just watching the

1224
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 2: games that he was just getting better and better as

1225
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 2: the year went on. So as his top receiver. Did

1226
01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 2: you notice any change in him in the locker room

1227
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 2: and anything like that? They got you guys kind of

1228
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 2: cooking as the year went on.

1229
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 6: Oh man, I think I think after after we made

1230
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 6: that change and when he when he was able to

1231
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 6: come back in and he was on fire. Man, I say,

1232
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 6: at the start, I don't think it was bad then neither.

1233
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, the coaches made they adjustments, but

1234
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 6: I think from the start he was he was still

1235
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 6: doing good at how I see it. But I think

1236
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 6: just by him still being young, all we want to

1237
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 6: do is just grow together.

1238
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: You have also the benefit of playing alongside Adam Feeling,

1239
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: who's been in this league for a long time. And

1240
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: we had a chance to talk to him a couple

1241
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: of weeks ago on this show. What was it like

1242
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: playing alongside him? How much of a help was he

1243
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 1: in terms of getting adjusted to the NFL?

1244
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:51,959
Speaker 7: Oh Man, just.

1245
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 6: You know, he being in the league a long time,

1246
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 6: So him seeing a couple of the things that I

1247
01:01:56,920 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 6: was doing to him being able to make adjustments to

1248
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 6: help me out hate everything all thenothers he was giving

1249
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 6: me was just things to help better my gun.

1250
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 7: Oh Man.

1251
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 6: I think as long as I still got him in

1252
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 6: the room, I'm not my game is going Olav.

1253
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 2: And we we had Adam on the show a couple

1254
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 2: of weeks ago, and one thing he spoke about was

1255
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 2: having an offensive minded head coach and that it kind

1256
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 2: of allows you to play in the same system yearly

1257
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 2: and stuff. So I know you've only played one year

1258
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 2: in the NFL, but did you enjoy playing in an

1259
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 2: offensive friendly system like Dave Canalis's last season?

1260
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, for sure. For sure.

1261
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 6: I might think he was trying to run the ball,

1262
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 6: but he wasn't too scared to put it in their eason.

1263
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: You know. So the draft obviously is coming up this week.

1264
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 1: It starts on Thursday night. You were a first round pick,

1265
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: So I what was that draft process, like, I mean

1266
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: going through like the combine in the workouts and stuff.

1267
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 1: What was that? What was that whole thing like for

Speaker 6: to make it into the NFL and be a first

1271
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 6: round pick. That's a very big thing because I'm mainly

1272
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 6: like the first one to be able to make it

1273
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 6: into the NFL from where I'm from. So many everybody

1274
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 6: was just excited, and I was. I wasn't trying to

1275
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 6: get too excited. I was trying to be even killed.

1276
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 6: On the days I knew I was going to get drafted,

1277
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 6: I just didn't know when. So I was just waiting

1278
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 6: on my oble to to see who was gonna.

1279
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:30,560

1280
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 2: you were going to get drafted in, But did you

1281
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 2: have any idea that it would be Carolina? Were there

1282
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 2: any other teams that you thought that you might be

1283
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 2: going to. Did the Panthers talk to you more than

1284
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 2: other teams?

1285
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:41,440
Speaker 7: Like?

1286
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:42,760

1290
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 6: So I just I just knew I was going to

1291
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 6: fall somewhere.

1292
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:00,040
Speaker 1: Is it kind of like dating? I mean it's it

1293
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 1: sounds like it's like almost like speed dating, right, Like

1297
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: of going on a series of weird football dates more

1298
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: than anything.

01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, you can put it in there. You can say

1300
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 7: like they, oh favorite reason that I went on.

1301
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 6: Man, I enjoyed it, being able to get to get

1302
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 6: learn from like a couple of the coaches of what

1303
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 6: they thought about me, being able to really like get

1304
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 6: to know them as William.

1305
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 2: And so you went in the first round last year,

1306
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 2: but were you starting to get a little uh like

1307
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 2: antsy as because the first round takes hours, so like

1308
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 2: as it's going on, or you like, I just want

1309
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 2: to get picked already, And I know the Bills were

1310
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 2: sitting there at thirty two before they traded that pick

1311
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 2: to the Panthers. Did did you think that's where you

1312
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 2: might end up? Or did you have an idea that

1313
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 2: Carolina was going to be the place?

1314
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 7: And I was just sitting by the phone waiting on

1315
01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:01,960

Speaker 6: to put it in the pressure cooker, let the meat

1379
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 6: fall off the bone so we can trap it up.

1380
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:16,560

Speaker 1: having gone through the league, having played you know the schedule,

1430
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: who was who were some of the toughest guys you

1431
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:38,400

Speaker 6: And then you know I was going to get in

1441
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:06,920

01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:17,639
Speaker 1: And what would your advice be. There's a whole bunch

1446
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: of guys gonna get drafted over the next few days. Now,

1447
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 1: having been through one year in the league, what is

1448
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:24,040

Speaker 6: just be a spun soak in every information they older

1452
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 6: guys trying to give, because it's gonna be some things

1453
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 6: that you think you might know and be able to overcook.

1454
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 7: But it's a little different in the league. Man, talk

1455
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,960

Speaker 3: day long.

1490
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 1: Doesn't mess with water. Looking forward to what he has

1491
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 1: in year two after a pretty good rookie season and

1492
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: just watching this whole team grow. Now a new teammate

1493
01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: in the wide receiver room with Tenoro McMillan getting drafted

1494
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 1: by the Panthers at number eight, So obviously night one

1495
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 1: in the books. We got two more days of the draft.

1496
01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: Rounds two and three are gonna be on Friday, and

1497
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:36,840
Speaker 1: Marcel asking the question that I think a lot of

1498
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 1: people are asking, are the Browns really gonna get Sanders tomorrow?

1499
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 1: They have the first pick in the second round. Fellas,

1500
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,879
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if they do not take Shador

1501
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 1: Sanders to start round two.

1502
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you have to, and he just got Joe Flacco,

1503
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,760
Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett, the Jersey Legends. But you need somebody to

1504
01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 3: come in there that needs to give this city some

1505
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 3: type of hope. You know that we have a chance

1506
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 3: to go out there and win some games. I don't

1507
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:06,600
Speaker 3: think you're going out there winning many games with the

1508
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:07,680
Speaker 3: Jersey folks out there.

1509
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 1: Man.

1510
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:10,320

1511
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 2: second pick.

1512
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:16,720
Speaker 1: There you go. I think, I know, I agree with

1513
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: you too, but I think we're gonna have a lot

1514
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 1: to talk about on Friday as a ton of a

1515
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:22,759
Speaker 1: ton of guys that I think will make a fantasy

1529
01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:00,200
