1 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody. 2 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 2: It is Thursday, April twenty seventh, and welcome to a 3 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 2: bonus edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. 4 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: It's Me Your Man, m P. Marcus Grant, joined by 5 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: Michael F. Flooria. 6 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 2: We sits in our respective homes just a few minutes 7 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: after the ending of Round one of the twenty twenty 8 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: three NFL Draft, and Mike, I don't know your immediate thoughts. 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 2: There were some things that were expected early on, but 10 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 2: I feel like midway through this round things kind of 11 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: went sideways winded with a lot of surprises. 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: In Round one, Yeah, we certainly did. 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 3: I was very happy to see a certain quarterback go 14 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 3: to the landing spot. I was hoping he would. But 15 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 3: besides that, my biggest takeaway, especially in the second half 16 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 3: of the draft, is like, why do teams just let 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 3: how Roseman just dominate the draft every single year? 18 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: Why why I keep saying this. 19 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: If I am a GM and the caller ID says 20 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 2: Howie Roseman, I'm letting it ring through the voicemail because 21 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 2: nothing good is going to happen for me. If Howie 22 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: Roseman is calling, I don't understand it. You know, I 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: know we're not going to talk a lot of defense, 24 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 2: but you know what, I respect the fact that basically 25 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: the Eagles looked at the University of Georgia and is like, 26 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: you know what, they've got the best defense in the 27 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: country the last two or three years running. Let's just 28 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: do that, and they just go out and get all 29 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 2: these guys. I was sort of joking that, you know, 30 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: the Eagles, they got that dog in them, that Georgia 31 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: bulldog in them. They really just loaded up. I'm amazed 32 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: that teams keep letting this happen. The Eagles had on 33 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: paper the best roster top to bottom last year. I 34 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: know they didn't win the Super Bowl, but top to bottom, 35 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,279 Speaker 2: I thought they had the best roster in the league. 36 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: And you know, Night won. The instant action is that 37 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: they went out and they crushed again. I just don't 38 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: know how teams let this happen. I just don't. 39 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 3: I tweeted it like four times. They have the best 40 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 3: chance to make the Super Bowl, like, maybe not to 41 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 3: win it, but look at the AFC and only quarterbacks 42 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 3: and then just look at the Eagles. 43 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: Path, right, I mean to go through the NFC. Look, 44 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: I mean, look, I get it. The division may be 45 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: a little bit tough. They got to deal with the 46 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: Cowboys a couple of times a year. They got to deal, 47 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: you know, with the Giants. I'm sure there's a chance 48 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: they may run across the forty nine ers or someone 49 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: like that again, but they are the deepest team in 50 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: the NFC without a doubt on paper, and it's just 51 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 2: a matter of sort of putting it together right there. 52 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 2: So we're jumping in here with sort of a bonus 53 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: podcast to recap the first round. 54 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: From a fantasy perspective. 55 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: Hit some of the more interesting picks, the ones that 56 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 2: are more fantasy relevant. But I want to start with 57 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: some non draft news specifically, But what was the biggest 58 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: news of the day before the picks started coming in. 59 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: The Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson have agreed to a deal. 60 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: It is five years, two hundred and sixty million dollars 61 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: for Lamar Jackson. It includes one hundred and eighty five 62 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: million dollars in guarantees. The deal makes Jackson currently the 63 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: highest paid player international football league. So not long after 64 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: we salve the Aaron Rodgers dilemma, we also saw the 65 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson dilemma. So all the quarterbacks are now in 66 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: the Barn. Everything is sealed up in that regard, and 67 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: so I know we'll get into what happened in the 68 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: draft a little bit later, but just your first takeaways 69 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: when you. 70 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: Saw the deal, I mean, how'd you feel for Lamar? 71 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: How does this? What does this mean for the Ravens. 72 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 3: I was so happy for Lamar Jackson after everything he's 73 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 3: kind of the back and forth with him and the 74 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: Ravens for the last couple of seasons. It's been no 75 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 3: surprise or secret. I guess us on this podcast. Our 76 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 3: team Lamar, We're team player on this podcast. So very 77 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 3: happy to see him get paid, and even more so, 78 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 3: I'm happy that he kind of shoved it in the 79 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: faces of everyone who said, oh, if he had an 80 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 3: age and none of this would happen. You know who 81 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: was his agent, It was basically. 82 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, Like, Jalen Hurts. 83 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 3: Signed this contract, and Lamar was like, I will sign 84 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 3: that deal, give me one million more per year. And 85 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 3: that's exactly what happened. 86 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 2: Basically is what happened. I mean, sort of the way 87 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 2: it has worked over the last few years is that 88 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: a quarterback signs and then whoever's next in line sort 89 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: of resets the market again. And you're talking about a 90 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: guy who said this plenty of times. He's twenty six 91 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,559 Speaker 2: years old, he's a former league MVP, He's had plenty 92 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 2: of success on the field, and yes, Jalen Hurts was 93 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: amazing last year. But this is a guy still very 94 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: much in the early part of his career, still sort 95 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: of proving himself in a lot of ways, whereas Lamar 96 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 2: Jackson has already gotten that done. So I'm thrilled to 97 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: see this happen. I feel like, you know, the two 98 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: sides sort of needed each other. I think I think 99 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: the Ravens probably needed Lamar even more than Lamar needed 100 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 2: the Ravens. He could have gone any number of places 101 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: and still been successful. If Lamar Jackson leaves Baltimore, that 102 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: team is in a world of trouble. I mean, I know, 103 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 2: we jokingly talk about Pro Bowl quarterback Tyler Huntley, but 104 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 2: nobody really believes that if the Ravens had to go 105 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: into the season with Tyler Huntley is their quarterback, that 106 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 2: they were poised to do anything special. So they bring 107 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 2: in Lamar Jackson. The next question is would they get 108 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: him some help? And we'll get to that in just 109 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 2: a little bit. So let's turn our attention to what 110 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 2: happened in Night one of the NFL Draft. We'll start 111 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 2: at the top where the first two picks. I don't 112 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: think any surprise at all, Mike. Bryce Young goes number 113 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 2: one to the Carolina Panthers. 114 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: CJ. 115 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 2: Stroud goes number two to the Houston Texans. I'm this 116 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 2: is sort of what we talked about. I know I 117 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: said that I thought maybe CJ. Stroud would go first. 118 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: I thought Bryce Young should have been the first pick. 119 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: It turns out he was. Your takeaways from those first 120 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 2: two picks in the. 121 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 3: Draft, Yeah, out of those two, I definitely would have 122 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 3: had Bryce Young as my first overall pick as well. 123 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 3: And Bryce Young is a playmaker. 124 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: Look. 125 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 3: I know the knock on him his size, but when 126 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 3: I watched a lot of his college games, I didn't 127 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 3: see his size hold him. 128 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: Back at all. 129 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 3: Like the only thing I saw is he takes maybe 130 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: a step or two back deeper in the pocket than 131 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 3: most quarterbacks. His throwing motion makes him seem bigger than 132 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: he is. And I know there's a lot of concerns 133 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: about can he hold up to taking hits and the 134 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,679 Speaker 3: NFL level, And I understand why because of his size, 135 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 3: But again, when I watched this guy play one, his 136 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 3: vision and his peripheral vision is insane, like he always 137 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: knows where everyone is at all times. And then I 138 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 3: don't think a defender who's the first defender to get 139 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: through has ever actually touched him. Like he's so quick 140 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 3: and elusive, and he's got this really great spin move. 141 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 3: I think he is a great pick at number one. 142 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 3: I think that he not only can read a defense 143 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: and everything make all the throws that you want, but 144 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 3: you now, I think in today's NFL need to be 145 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 3: able to be a playmaker and extend the plays with 146 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: your legs and then kind of improvise. We've seen Mahomes, 147 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson, Josh Allen quarterbacks like that take that to 148 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 3: the next level, and I think Bryce Young has that 149 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 3: capability for fantasy purposes. For me, he's my rookie QB two, 150 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 3: and I think that he should be in like re 151 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 3: draft leagues, like a borderline low end quarterback two, somewhere 152 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 3: in like the QB like eighteen to twenty three range, 153 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 3: something like that. But I do think depending on how 154 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 3: much he runs, he does bring more upside than. 155 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 2: That fantasy wise, his value is definitely speaking of Young, 156 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: his value is definitely greater in dynasty than it is 157 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: in redraft leagues this year, just because you look at 158 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 2: the rest of that team around him in Carolina and 159 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 2: it doesn't necessarily blow you away. 160 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: You know, they went out. 161 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: They added Adam Thielen, who in the past has been 162 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 2: a nice receiver but is on the downside part of 163 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: his career. I think we're still sort of hoping that 164 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: Terras Marshall Junior kind of turns into something. I mean, 165 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 2: DJ Chark has never really proven that he could stay 166 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 2: healthy and be a playmaker consistently. Miles Sanders a nice piece, 167 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: but not necessarily one that's going to kind of get 168 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 2: you over the hump. 169 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: So it's like the Panthers. 170 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: We talk about teams kind of having a bridge quarterback 171 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 2: or a stop gap at quarterback. It's almost like they 172 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 2: finally have gotten their quarterback and now they have a 173 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: lot of stop gaps on the skill position players on 174 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 2: the rest of the offense here. So there's not a 175 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 2: lot to get you super fired up about Bryce Young, 176 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: at least in twenty twenty three. Maybe down the road, 177 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 2: depending on what Carolina is able to do. Of course, 178 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: you know, we still have two more days of this draft. 179 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: There's still time for them to go out and add 180 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: to more pieces. But right now, I think Bryce Young's 181 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: value is greater in dynasty leagues than it is in 182 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 2: redraft leagues. 183 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: CJ. 184 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: Stroud now going at number two to Houston, I think 185 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 2: it's sort of a similar situation. I don't know that 186 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: he's quite the playmaker that Young is, but he's a nice, steady, 187 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 2: solid option there. He's I think more of a pocket passer. 188 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: We saw what he did at Ohio State. Of course, 189 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: in Columbus, he had one of the greatest collections of 190 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: wide receivers anybody could ask for when you talk about 191 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 2: you know, in the last couple of years, Ohio States 192 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 2: had Garrett Wilson, Chris o'lave, Jackson Smith, and Jigba Marvin 193 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 2: Harrison Junior, who right now could probably be the number 194 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 2: one wide receiver in next year's draft when he's eligible. 195 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: So it's a little bit harder to evaluate him just 196 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: because of the talent around him. I think it's similar 197 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 2: to what we saw with you Mac Jones and a 198 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 2: lot of the Alabama quarterbacks previously, because they had so 199 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 2: much talented wide receiver. It was hard to evaluate, but 200 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 2: I think Stroud is a nice If I say safe pick, 201 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 2: it always sounds it always sounds like a back handed 202 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 2: cobl to say that somebody's a safe pick. But I 203 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: think he's kind of a safe pick because I think 204 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 2: he can be a solid guy, if not spectacular. 205 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: But it's for me. 206 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 2: It's it's similar to to Bryce Young Mike is that 207 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 2: they don't have a lot of pieces there in Houston. 208 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 2: Right now, Nicocollins. 209 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: Right now, is your your wide receiver? One. 210 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 2: I really thought, and you know, want to get your 211 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: take on this. I really thought that when the Texans 212 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 2: still had the twelfth pick that it would be nice 213 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 2: for them to draft Stroud and then wait and then 214 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 2: at number twelve go get Jackson Smith and Jigba reunite 215 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 2: the two guys from Ohio State. Instead, they trade that 216 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 2: pick and they move up and they get Will Anderson. 217 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, remind John Metchi is coming back as well. 218 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: Thanks Ryan for the reminder. Missed all of last year 219 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 2: with leukemia, so hopefully he's healthy. Would be glad to 220 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 2: see him back on the field. Still, it's not enough 221 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 2: that really gets excited. I thought they'd go get JSN. 222 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: They got Will Anderson to give themselves a pass rusher here, 223 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: and I just worry that CJ. Stroud's gonna walk into 224 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: a situation he just doesn't have any weapons to throw to. 225 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and one shout out to Daniel Jeremiah who mocked 226 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 3: the Texans having the second and third pick. He knocked 227 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 3: that one out of the park. I was of the 228 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: same thinking of you as you, Marcus. I was like, 229 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 3: I think it's smart. We've seen more and more teams 230 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 3: start doing this where you pair like Joe Burrow and 231 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase kind of started the trend about Tua and 232 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 3: Jalen Waddle. There's a number of cases out there where 233 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 3: a team has paired a young quarterback with their college 234 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 3: top receiver, and I think it's a smart play. Yeah, 235 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 3: that's the thing. Though I agree with everything you said. 236 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 3: I like CJ. Stroud as a prospect. I think he's 237 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 3: the safest bet of all of these quarterbacks. I don't 238 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 3: think he has the same ceiling as young with Richardson, 239 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 3: but I think he's got a much safer floor. No 240 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 3: one's gonna like confuse me with Like Daniel Jeremiah, I 241 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,079 Speaker 3: haven't been doing this for like twenty thirty years, but 242 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 3: in the short time that that I've been like getting 243 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 3: really into scouting players for the draft. 244 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: CJ. 245 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 3: Stroud is the best ball placement and touch of any 246 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 3: of the quarterbacks that I've watched this closely. But his 247 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 3: rushing ability, he has that ability. It's just a matter 248 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 3: of are we gonna see it because we really didn't 249 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 3: see it a whole lot in college and then they 250 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 3: played Georgia and he ran all over them. But I 251 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 3: agree with you the two concerns I had with him 252 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 3: were one, while he didn't wasn't under pressure a whole 253 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 3: lot in college, he did struggle when he was under pressure. 254 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 3: And then it's not a knock on the Texans wide 255 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 3: receiver room. That Ohio State receiver room would be better 256 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 3: than a lot of NFL wide receiver rooms. So but 257 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 3: he's going from having the unquestioned arguably the best college 258 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 3: wide receiver room in history to to, like you said, 259 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 3: Nico Collins, John Metchi, Dalton Schultz, like it's solid. But 260 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 3: because of that, I think CJ. Stroud for me, he'd 261 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 3: be in my in rookie drafts, he'd be my QB three. 262 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 3: But for like redrafter or twenty twenty three purposes. I 263 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 3: think he's more of like a borderline QB two or three. 264 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 3: I'd rather have Young, I'd rather have Richardson, But I 265 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 3: do think there's there is upside with him. 266 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: There's upside, but I think in redraft leagues, I'm probably staying. 267 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: Away from CJ. 268 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 2: Stroud right now just because I'm not excited about what 269 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: is around him down there in Houston. But the guy 270 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: who is everybody's rookie dynasty rookie QB one, especially in 271 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: superflex leagues, it happened. It's not very often that we 272 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 2: get what we ask for, but in this case, it happens. 273 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson goes to the Indianapolis Colts with the number 274 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 2: four pick. I was on another live stream at the 275 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 2: time when it happened, and immediately everybody kind of started 276 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: sweating because the idea of Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor 277 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 2: in the same backfield, it feels like a lot. It 278 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 2: feels great, it feels amazing. I mean, I don't know 279 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: that we could have asked for a better landing spot 280 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: for Anthony Richardson and going to an Indianapolis team that 281 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 2: while it's not great, there's at least something there to 282 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: get excited about, which is what we are struggling to 283 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 2: say with Bryce Young and CJ. 284 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: Stroud. 285 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, Anthony Richardson too. The Colts was my dream fantasy scenario, 286 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 3: and I know I'm not the only one, but I 287 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 3: had been wish casting it all day on Twitter and 288 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 3: stuff like that. And yeah, like you said, one, he's 289 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 3: got Jonathan Taalorvan that's gonna help take pressure away from 290 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 3: him to Michael Pittman Junior is a really good wide receiver. 291 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 3: But Shane Styke and is the head coach there, and 292 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 3: we saw what he was able to work with Jalen 293 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 3: Hurts and Philly not giving him all of the credit, 294 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 3: but obviously a big part of it. And they turned 295 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts from a quote unquote project into well, I 296 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 3: guess only for like five days, he was the highest 297 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 3: page of the NFL, which is pretty remarkable. And the 298 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: thing that I keep saying when it comes to fantasy 299 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 3: with Anthony Richardson, I don't care how bad passer you 300 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 3: think he is. I think he's much better than he 301 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 3: gets credit for, and I think he should start week one. 302 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 3: He can't learn anything from Gardner Minshew. 303 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: He's already better than Gardner Minshew. 304 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 3: But I use Justin Fields as the example of why 305 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 3: I'm so excited for Anthony Richardson. Last year, he was 306 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 3: the worst pass EPA by far in the NFL. He 307 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 3: threw for two two and forty two yards and seventeen 308 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 3: touchdowns over the course of the full season, and yet 309 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 3: he was the overall QB six and the QB five 310 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 3: in points per game, and for a stretch of the 311 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 3: season he was a cheat code QB one that if 312 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 3: you didn't if you had him, you were probably running 313 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 3: through your league at that time. Because of what he 314 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 3: does with his legs. I think Anthony Richardson joins Jalen Hurts, 315 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson Justin Fields as the best rushing quarterbacks in 316 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 3: the NFL. And it's why he's my my QB one 317 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 3: in dynasty. Like you said, I also think in redrafts 318 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 3: he should be a top twenty quarterback off the board. 319 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 3: And while he's gonna to be a QB two drafted, 320 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 3: he brings weekly QB one upside every single week. 321 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I think when you talk about him on 322 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 2: a weekly basis in redraft leagues, he gives you that 323 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: same sort of floor that you had with say, Justin 324 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 2: Fields last year. It's what you had with Jalen Hurts 325 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. Well, we still weren't sure 326 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 2: how those guys are going to be his passers. We 327 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 2: knew that every single week they had that rushing upside 328 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 2: and that's what gave them viability. And it's why last 329 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 2: year Justin Fields really was a great fantasy quarterback without 330 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 2: being a great passer in Chicago, because he was able 331 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 2: to give you those rushing yards and then he was 332 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: just good enough as a thrower to kind of sort 333 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 2: of make up for it. Richardson sort of has that 334 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 2: same mold to him, right he is there are things 335 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 2: about his passing ability that need to be worked on. 336 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 2: It's not insurmountable, but he does need to work on 337 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 2: some things. But we know he can run with the football. 338 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: If he gives you, say, eight nine hundred yards on 339 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 2: the ground, if he can supplement that with another couple 340 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: thousand through the air, some decent touchdown number, as long 341 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: as he's not terrible with turnovers, he really does have 342 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 2: the potential to be a top twelve fantasy quarterback this year. 343 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: I don't know that you're gonna get. 344 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 2: The same level of discount with him that you did, 345 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,479 Speaker 2: say with Justin Fields a year ago. But I think 346 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,239 Speaker 2: there are enough people who were worried about him as 347 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 2: a passer that maybe he doesn't come flying off the boards. 348 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: I think you can still sort of draft him in 349 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 2: the mid to late rounds and end up with a really, 350 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 2: really good quarterback fantasy wise. Again, I think this is 351 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 2: where you got to separate the real football from the 352 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 2: fantasy football, because I think there are things about him 353 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 2: that need work, But fantasy wise, I think he's gonna 354 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 2: be He's gonna be really really good this year. And 355 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: that is why, as you mentioned, he is the Dynasty 356 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 2: rookie quarterback number one without a whole lot of debate, 357 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 2: to be honest with you. So this is when things 358 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 2: got sort of interesting. Anthony Richardson comes off the board 359 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 2: at four, then at number eight Bjon Robinson, and there 360 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 2: had been plenty of debate in the last week about 361 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 2: whether or not it made sense to take a running 362 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 2: back this high in the draft. Obviously, you have sort 363 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 2: of the positional value people, a lot of the analytics 364 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 2: people who turn their nose up at taking a running 365 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 2: back to this early because statistically it just never really 366 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: works out. There is another school of thought that says, 367 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: you know what, you have a player this talented to 368 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 2: hell with positional value. You take this guy and you 369 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 2: figure out how to make it work. 370 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: Well. 371 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 2: Apparently the Falcons fall into that second camp because they 372 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: take Bjon Robinson at number eight. Now, as we were 373 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 2: talking earlier, I saw this tweet come across my timeline 374 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 2: and it was from Arthur Smith, not from Arthur Smith, 375 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 2: but about Arthur Smith via de Orlando Ledbetter from the 376 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 2: Advantage Journal constitution saying Falcons coach Arthur Smith described Tyler 377 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 2: al Jeer as a sledgehammer and Bjeon Robinson as a 378 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 2: contact balance guy Florida. We all believe that Bijon is 379 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 2: swallow hard here generational talent. You know, as much as 380 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: people hate that phrase generational talent, that wherever he goes, 381 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 2: he was going to be the RB one and in theory, 382 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 2: is going to dominate the touches. Is Arthur Smith going 383 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: to do this to us again? Is he going to 384 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 2: take another top level elite college prospect and either put 385 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 2: him in a committee or just not give him a 386 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: ton of touches? We are still we're still shook over 387 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 2: what happened with Kyle Pitts. 388 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: He can't do this again to us with Jon Robinson right. 389 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 3: If anyone could do it, it would be Arthur Smith. 390 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 3: But I even and if you listen to the show 391 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 3: during the season, you know how you know about my 392 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 3: disdain for Arthur Smith. Even, I would be completely shocked 393 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 3: if he pulled that stunt again. I mean, look, Tyler 394 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 3: Reill's year was really really good last year. But he's 395 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 3: a fifth round rookie, a fifth round pick, and you 396 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 3: already had him on your roster. You let him run 397 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 3: for a thousand yards and then you said, you know what, 398 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 3: let's use our eighth overall pick with all the holes 399 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 3: that we have on this roster. On a running back, 400 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 3: I'm convinced that Bijon is about to just run wild 401 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 3: and potent. I tweeted it out. I would not be 402 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 3: shocked if he led the league in rushing in his 403 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 3: first year, Like, I think he's that good. And I 404 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 3: think Arthur Smith wants to run the ball that much. 405 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: He really does want to run the ball. 406 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 2: And I've heard penal people say that it's in the 407 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 2: range of outcomes for Bejon Robinson to be the RB 408 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 2: one at the end of the year, simply because he's 409 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 2: going to get that kind of volume. The talent level 410 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 2: is certainly there. And look, I understand the argument in 411 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 2: terms of what the Falcons needed and all the different 412 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: things that they needed to fix on this roster, that 413 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: taking a running back, no matter how good he is, 414 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 2: at number eight, probably wasn't the best use of their assets. 415 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: But for fantasy, we don't really care about that. 416 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 2: I mean, we just know that we have a really 417 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 2: great running back that landed in a situation where they 418 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 2: want to run the football and he's likely to get 419 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 2: a ton of opportunity there. Look, I think people were 420 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 2: gonna draft Bijon high anyway, but this might been one 421 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,959 Speaker 2: of the best case scenarios for him in terms of 422 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 2: where he possibly could have landed. 423 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: So he's at eight. 424 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 2: There was talk that we could get two running backs 425 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 2: off the board in the first round. I don't think 426 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 2: anybody thought we were gonna get two running backs in 427 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 2: the top twelve because at number twelve, the Detroit Lions 428 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: go with Jamir Gibbs. And you want to talk about 429 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 2: just a timeline that slot machine. When Jamiir Gibbs got picked. 430 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 2: It was a combination of Oh no, Lions, what are 431 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 2: you doing? Oh no, Jamiir Gibbs, Oh no, DeAndre Swift. 432 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 2: I mean, there was just a lot of head scratching 433 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 2: and confusion. Gibbs is an amazing talent, a guy who 434 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 2: you know, you keep hearing the name Alvin Kamara come 435 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 2: up when people talk about Jamior Gibbs. But this one, 436 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 2: it just didn't make a lot of sense because DeAndre 437 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 2: Swift is there, because David Montgomery is there. If you 438 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 2: have any clarity as to how this happened and what 439 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 2: this means, please enlighten me. 440 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 3: No, I don't. 441 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: A team like the Lions. 442 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 3: I thought they were set on offense and they were 443 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 3: gonna load up on defense and just kind of try 444 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 3: to win their division this year. But the only thing 445 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 3: I can my biggest takeaway, and I know I'm not 446 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 3: the only one to say it, is like DeAndre Swift 447 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 3: probably not a member of the Detroit Lions. Maybe by 448 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 3: the end. 449 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: Of the draft. 450 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 3: I would be shocked week one if he's like he's 451 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 3: kind of been falling out of favor with his coaching staff, 452 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 3: especially last year, like when he was in and out 453 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 3: of the lineup constantly, and I so my thinking was, 454 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 3: if they get rid of Swift, they've built this backfield 455 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 3: to be a better version of what it was a 456 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 3: year ago. Because as much as I like DeAndre Swift, 457 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,239 Speaker 3: he was not available all year, and when he was, 458 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 3: they were very managing his touches a whole lot. Gibbs 459 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 3: could be everything that Swift was in that offense, a 460 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 3: great receiver, a weapon, not a running back, because I 461 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 3: don't think he's ever gonna get you know, fifteen to 462 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 3: twenty carries a game, but he could get something like 463 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 3: ten carries and I don't know anywhere up to ten 464 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 3: targets per game. He's that good of a weapon. And 465 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 3: then you have David Montgomery be the power back to 466 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 3: between the tackles, back the goal line, back what Jamal 467 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 3: Williams role was. But I think David Montgomery is an upgrade, 468 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 3: at least a slight one over Jamal Williams. But if 469 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,719 Speaker 3: you're going in with all three of these, then that 470 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 3: pick makes even less sense. The other thing I guess 471 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 3: to defend the Detroit Lions is, look, I know they 472 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 3: already had two running backs and they took another one. 473 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 3: But you can make the case that they came away 474 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 3: from this year's draft and last year's draft with the 475 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 3: most explosive offensive prospect in the class. 476 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 477 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 2: I mean, you look at Jamison Williams and I know 478 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 2: he's gonna miss the first six games of the season, 479 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 2: but still was arguably the most explosive wide receiver before 480 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 2: that knee injury. Now you get Jamior Gibbs to sort 481 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 2: of add to it. They do add some firepower to 482 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 2: this offense. But right now we're all just sort of 483 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 2: left waiting what happens in the backfield. 484 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: And I want to believe, I know a lot of 485 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: people want to believe. 486 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 2: That something's going to happen with DeAndre Swift, that they're 487 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 2: going to trade him, whether it's this weekend or sometime 488 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 2: just after. But I just I can't imagine they're going 489 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 2: to go into the season with these three running backs altogether. Again, 490 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 2: it just doesn't really make sense. And if that's the case, 491 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 2: then suddenly this becomes just a muddled mess of a 492 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 2: running back situation in Detroit. I think we were all 493 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 2: hoping for different circumstances for Jamior Gibbs. I know you 494 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 2: and I talked about the idea of the Kansas City 495 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 2: Chiefs potentially calling, but I don't think anybody saw the line, 496 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 2: and I don't think anybody saw Gibbs off the board 497 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 2: in the first twelve picks, So we had two running 498 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 2: backs go off the board before we had any pass catchers, 499 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 2: no wide receivers, no tight ends, and then all of 500 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 2: a sudden, everything kind of went nuts for the pass catchers. 501 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 2: We went on a run of four wide receivers in 502 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,239 Speaker 2: a row, and if I remember correctly, I believe this 503 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 2: is the first time in the modern draft era that 504 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: four wide receivers have gone consecutively. So at number twenty, 505 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 2: the first wide receiver taken Jackson Smith Injigma, no surprise 506 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 2: that he was the first one. He goes to Seattle. 507 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 2: The very next pick at twenty one, Quinton Johnston goes 508 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: to the LA Chargers. At twenty two, Zay Flowers to 509 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens, and at number twenty three, Jordan Addison 510 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 2: goes to the Minnesota Vikings. Of those four, which is 511 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 2: the one that excites you the most. 512 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 3: So it's pretty funny because the order they win in 513 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 3: is the order that I had them ranked, So you 514 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 3: would think, like jaysn excited me the most, but it's 515 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 3: the opposite. Like my number four ranked receiver was Jordan Addison, 516 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 3: But for fantasy purposes, I think he needs to be 517 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 3: the rookie number one wide receiver, at least for twenty 518 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 3: twenty three purposes, because the other three all are probably 519 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,719 Speaker 3: the third target in their offense. Like as much as 520 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 3: I like jaysn and I think long term he's a 521 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 3: great fit for Seattle, He's not gonna out if all healthy. 522 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 3: He's not gonna out target DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, 523 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 3: Zay Flowers isn't gonna out target Mike Williams and Keenan Allen. 524 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Quentin Johnson isn't gonna out target those guys. 525 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 3: Jay Flowers isn't gonna out target Mark Andrews. And then 526 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 3: there's also Rashad Bateman and Odell Beckham, whereas Jordan Addison 527 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 3: falls in to the number two target behind Justin Jefferson. 528 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 3: And my concern with Jordan Addison when he played like 529 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 3: his size showed up a litt little bit like press coverage, 530 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 3: you were able to kind of affect him with that 531 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 3: and stuff. I thought Jordan Addison would be a great 532 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 3: real life number two. I had concerns if he could 533 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 3: be a true number one. That doesn't matter anymore because 534 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 3: he has the ultimate number one on the other side 535 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 3: of the field in Justin Jefferson, who's gonna get so 536 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 3: much defensive attention. Then you also add in TJ. Hokinson, 537 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 3: who's gonna get defensive attention. 538 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: There. 539 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 3: Addison's gonna be able to slide in the slot, slide 540 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 3: out wide. And I even sweeted I said, look, don't 541 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 3: get this excited for him, but he's such a good 542 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 3: route runner and he's like his physique I think adds 543 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 3: to it. When he's running around out there in purple 544 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 3: and gold, I think people are gonna be like, look, 545 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 3: the new Stefan Diggs. So I'm very I think that 546 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 3: was the best fantasy landing spot of any. 547 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: Of these receivers. I think you hit on it exactly. 548 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 2: Is that with these other three guys JSN Quentin, Johnston, 549 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 2: Ze Flowers, they are all battling for a lot of 550 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 2: targets in their respective offense, and there very well could 551 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 2: be weeks when they do pop. But there are veteran 552 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 2: guys ahead of them in line that are going to 553 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 2: sort of dominate the target share and they're really gonna 554 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 2: have to fight to get those opportunities, whereas for Addison 555 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 2: there's a little easier path to getting there. Yes, Justin 556 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 2: Jefferson is going to get a ton of targets and TJ. 557 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: Hawkinson is going to. 558 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 2: Get his, but I can very well see where Addison 559 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 2: can be the third target. And look, Kirk Cousins. Kirk 560 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 2: Cousins has generally been sort of a two player guy. 561 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: You know. 562 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 2: First it was it was Theeling and Diggs, then it 563 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 2: was Thelan and Jefferson, then it turned into sort of 564 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 2: theling In Hawkinson. But I do believe that he can 565 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 2: sustain a third pass catcher, and Addison does have the 566 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 2: skill set to be that guy. 567 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: So you're right. 568 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 2: I think he's the guy that sort of landed in 569 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 2: the best situation. 570 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. 571 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 2: I was a little bit surprised to see the Chargers 572 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 2: go with Quinton Johnston. I know he's a good yards 573 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 2: after catch guy, which isn't something Mike Williams can can be, 574 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 2: or isn't at least, but I was still surprised. I 575 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: felt like they are very similar in a lot of respects. 576 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,479 Speaker 2: I was just I was just surprised to see of 577 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 2: the receivers that Johnston was the one that the Chargers 578 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 2: went with. 579 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if you felt that way. 580 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 3: I did, and I had Johnston as my second ranked receiver, 581 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 3: but I agree with what you said, Like for fit wise, 582 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 3: I thought Zay Flowers made the most sense because speedy 583 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 3: receiver you could put on the outside. I know he's 584 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 3: a little bit smaller, but he's fast. He could win downfield. 585 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 3: He could also win after the catch, and then you 586 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 3: kind of play chess chess with all of your pieces 587 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 3: then because like he could play in the slot as well, 588 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 3: so you can move Keenan out wide at times. 589 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: But it's they're. 590 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 3: Really interesting because they have three receivers now and they're 591 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 3: all like pretty different skill sets, so they could have 592 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 3: some fun with that. But justin Herbert, I mean, and 593 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 3: the Chargers have no excuses now, right because like they 594 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 3: have their insurance policy if in case Allen and Williamsmith's 595 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 3: more time, like now's the time, Hermer you got to 596 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 3: step up? 597 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: Do you would think so? Right? 598 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 2: But also Chargers gonna charger sort of the way things 599 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: go there. I would say this all these guys, when 600 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: you look at the wide receivers, that were drafted. The 601 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 2: big winners here were the quarterbacks. I mean, for Gino Smith, 602 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 2: he gets one more weapon in JSN Justin Herbert as 603 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 2: though he didn't have enough weapons, now he gets one 604 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 2: more in Quinton Johnston. 605 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: And you know what, it was a great day for 606 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. 607 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 2: Right, you start the day by signing a new contract, 608 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 2: you get paid. Then on top of it, they go 609 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 2: out and they get you a wide receiver and they 610 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 2: really are sort of trying to remake this offense more 611 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 2: towards Todd Monkins liking than what we saw with Greg 612 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 2: Roman all those years in Baltimore. It was a big 613 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 2: day for Lamar Jackson. And then you know Kirk Cousins 614 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 2: getting Jordan Addison to go along with the combination of 615 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson and t J. 616 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: Hawkinson. 617 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 2: It was a good night for some veteran quarterbacks around 618 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 2: the NFL getting some help. Also, pretty good night your guy, 619 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 2: Josh Allen, because the last Fantasy relevant pick of the night, 620 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 2: Dalton Kinkaid, the tight end from Utah, goes with a 621 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 2: twenty fifth pick to the Buffalo Bills. Every USC person 622 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 2: watching the draft said, good riddance, get out of the 623 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 2: Pac twelve after Dalton Kincaid went all Travis Kelce on 624 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 2: the USC Trojan defense during the regular season there in 625 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 2: the PAC twelve. I know you tweeted when you saw that, 626 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 2: you know you like kan Kid as a player, you 627 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 2: weren't quite sure the fit for him in Buffalo. In 628 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 2: My response was just go put on that sc Utah 629 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 2: tape and you will understand. And I would say this, 630 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 2: The immediate reaction amongst the fantasy community has been, let's go. 631 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: It's been diamond hands to the moon. Right. 632 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 2: You take the best playmaking tight end in this draft 633 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 2: and you put him in an offense with Josh Allen, 634 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 2: everybody's fired up. Are we going to go a little 635 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 2: bit overboard drafting this guy in the early part of 636 00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,479 Speaker 2: the draft season. 637 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 3: I think you're gonna have to be patient, just because 638 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 3: even with the best rookie tight ends, like outside of 639 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 3: maybe Kyle Pitts, they tend to start off slow as rookies. 640 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 3: And I don't know if Kinkaid will be the exception 641 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 3: or not, but I'm starting to make more sense of 642 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 3: this of this draft pick. My initial like you said, 643 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 3: was love the player, don't really love to fit because 644 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 3: I was like the Bills run a lot of three 645 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 3: wide receiver sets. In fact, they're always towards the league 646 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 3: lead in most three wide receiver sets, but they don't 647 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 3: run a lot of twelve, which is two tight end sets. 648 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 3: And then so I was confused because I'm like, they 649 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 3: already have a pass catching specialist tight end, Like they 650 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 3: don't really ask Dalson Knox to block a whole lot, 651 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 3: So what's gonna happen here? And then I read quotes 652 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 3: from their GM Bean who said that they will incorporate 653 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 3: some more twelve, but he also said, like, we're still 654 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 3: gonna run three wide receiver sets. Kinkaid's just gonna be 655 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 3: our third receiver, Like he could play in the slot, 656 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 3: he could plat wide. He compared him to Cole, a 657 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 3: bigger Cole Beasley's. So my thinking is like, Okay, as 658 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 3: long as they're not planning, like they even said, we're 659 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 3: not gonna ask him to. 660 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: Block a whole lot. 661 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 3: So as long as I was nervous that, like, hey, 662 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 3: they're gonna turn one of these two into a blocking specialist, 663 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 3: doesn't seem to be the case. It seems like they 664 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 3: were like, hey, we think he's better than any of 665 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 3: the receivers available to us. So I guess it's wheels 666 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 3: up for Josh Allen and the Bills get get a 667 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 3: little help for Stefan Diggs out there. I don't know 668 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 3: which of the Bills tight ends which one, Like, do 669 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 3: you think, offhand. 670 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: Would you rather have in fantasy? 671 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 2: I mean, at this point, I would probably go with Kinkaid, 672 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 2: even though he is a rookie. It's sort of the 673 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 2: potential upside there is sort of what we like. I 674 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,479 Speaker 2: think I don't know who it was, I missed who 675 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 2: tweeted it, but base it's like, you know, the Bills 676 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 2: keep losing to the Chiefs, so they're they're gonna go 677 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 2: and get their own Travis Kelcey and that was I 678 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 2: think that's sort of the thinking. 679 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: And look, DAWSA. 680 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 2: Knox has done some good things, but I think we've 681 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 2: seen what he is and I think we've seen ceiling there, 682 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 2: whereas I think, you know, I always say this, we 683 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 2: love the new shiny thing, and that is Dalton Kincaid 684 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 2: right now. So he's the guy that I would probably 685 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 2: take the shot at and hope that the athleticism and 686 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 2: the upside end up sort of winning the day, even 687 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 2: if it does take a little bit further into the season, 688 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 2: uh for it to happen. 689 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: I did. 690 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 3: I did love this sour puss like face on Mike 691 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 3: McCarthy after, like the Cowboys were one hundred percent taking him. 692 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely, they were taking him. Yeah, they wanted 693 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 2: a tight end. They wanted Dalton Kincaid, should say, because 694 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 2: I think if they just wanted to tight end, they 695 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 2: could always have you gone after, say Mayor or somebody 696 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 2: like that. And who knows, maybe they do that later 697 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 2: on they go get themselves. 698 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: A tight end. 699 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 2: But Kincaid was definitely their guy, and the Bills were 700 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 2: able to swoop in and get him there. So uh, 701 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,439 Speaker 2: those were all the fantasy relevant picks. When you look 702 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 2: at the round one in totality, what was your your 703 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 2: favorite pick? 704 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,240 Speaker 1: What was your re least favorite pick? 705 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 3: So my face pick was Anthony Richardson. But besides that, 706 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 3: one a non fantasy pick that I really enjoyed because 707 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 3: I'm a troll. I loved the fact that the Jets 708 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 3: pick Swapping and then Bill Belichick after the Packers took 709 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 3: the old lineman that I think the Jets had their 710 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 3: eyes on. 711 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: Uh, there was one. 712 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,280 Speaker 3: More Broderick Jones and the Bill Belichick and the Patriots 713 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 3: were like, hey, Pittsburgh, you want to jump the Jets 714 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 3: take him and then we're still gonna get the guy 715 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 3: we're gonna take now and Christian Gonzales three picks later. 716 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 3: I was having some fun with a lot of my 717 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 3: Jet fan friends because I was like Bill Belichick, he 718 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 3: doesn't care what he does. As long as he could 719 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 3: stick it to the Jets. 720 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: He's happy pretty much. 721 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 2: I mean, that's that seems to be his whole reason 722 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 2: for being at this point. My favorite pick I mean, 723 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, the you know, the Richardson pick I love. 724 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 2: I love the Jordan Addison pick. I just wanted him 725 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 2: to go somewhere where he didn't necessarily have to be 726 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 2: the number one, but he was in a good situation. 727 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 2: I had seen him mocked to Buffalo, I would have 728 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,879 Speaker 2: loved that. But minnesot I think is a really good 729 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 2: landing spot for him as well. I'm just still trying 730 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 2: to wrap my head around the Jamiir Gibbs pick. I 731 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 2: just I don't It's not about him, it's not about 732 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 2: his talent. It's just about the fit. It's what are 733 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 2: the Lions doing? What do they do with with DeAndre Swift, 734 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 2: how do they use him? Also having David Montgomery on 735 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 2: that roster. There's just a lot of things about it 736 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 2: that didn't necessarily make sense. And you know, we talk 737 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 2: about the Falcons having a lot of holes to fill 738 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 2: and using an unbraked pick on a running back. You know, 739 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 2: the Lions need a lot of work on the defensive 740 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 2: side of the ball. And I know they traded back 741 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 2: to get to where they are to get Gibbs, but 742 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 2: it just I don't know. I think they could have waited, 743 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,760 Speaker 2: you know, they had they had what two picks, they 744 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 2: could have probably waited until eighteen to get Jamior Gibbs 745 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 2: and still gotten somebody at twelve to maybe fix some 746 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 2: of the holes in their defense. So that one, that 747 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,439 Speaker 2: one just sort of confused me a little bit. Still 748 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 2: funny things to watch for day two. Will Levis still 749 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,240 Speaker 2: on the board. I think that surprised a lot of people. 750 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 2: I can't imagine he's gonna wait very long though, in 751 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 2: day two to get his name called. 752 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 3: Do you no, I'm shocked he's still available, not that 753 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 3: I mean, I've been very vocal that I'm not a 754 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,879 Speaker 3: Will Levis guy, but I thought for sure someone would 755 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 3: have taken him in the first round, especially when he 756 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 3: was still there, you know, in the late twenties. I'm like, okay, 757 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 3: I thought some team would trade in back in to 758 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,080 Speaker 3: get that fifth year option for Hendon Hooker. I thought 759 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 3: for sure someone would have done it if Will Levis 760 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 3: was available. I think tomorrow, if you're one of the 761 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 3: first teams up, like I know, the Steelers have the 762 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 3: first pick, but if you're one of those early teams, 763 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 3: he should be spending all night or all morning whenever 764 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 3: you wake up, calling around and trying to ship that pick, 765 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 3: because suddenly there's a quarterback that we thought would have 766 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 3: been gone, maybe even in the top ten available. So 767 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,799 Speaker 3: I don't think it's a long wait for him. And 768 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 3: I'm guessing Hendon Hooker goes shortly after he does. 769 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just looking right now. 770 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 2: I mean, if there are no more trades, and by 771 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 2: the way, there were six trades in round one, if 772 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 2: no one else trades the Steelers the first pick, they're 773 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,319 Speaker 2: not going to take a quarterback. The Cardinals are the 774 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,720 Speaker 2: second pick, I don't think they will. The Lions could 775 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 2: make the move at pick thirty four, just because we 776 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 2: know Jared goff is not the long term answer there. 777 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 2: They've got to start thinking about that position. They could 778 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 2: do it at thirty four maybe, you know, the Seahawks 779 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 2: were sort of in the market potentially for Anthony Richardson 780 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 2: until he got drafted. I don't know if they would 781 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 2: do it at thirty seven. The Raiders could do it 782 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 2: at thirty eight. There were some talk that they would 783 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 2: do it potentially at seven. They could maybe make that 784 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 2: move at thirty eight and have Levis be the backup, 785 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 2: the understudy to Jimmy Garoppolo for a few years. 786 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: So those are some of the options. 787 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 2: I guess the Titans potentially at forty one could be 788 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 2: another potential option, but maybe somebody trades up and makes 789 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 2: the move. Running backs, they're pretty much all there except 790 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 2: for you know, obviously Bijon and Gibbs are gone. Pretty 791 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,480 Speaker 2: much all the running backs are there, so I think, 792 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 2: you know, guys like Zach Charboneau will come off early. 793 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 2: I would think Florida, we're gonna see a lot of 794 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 2: running backs in Day two. 795 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's typically what we see. Unless you're like to 796 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 3: get two running backs in the first round is extremely rare. 797 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,320 Speaker 3: So that says how good Bijon and Gibbs are especially 798 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 3: two in the top twelve going over any other skill 799 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 3: position players outside of the quarterbacks. So that says a 800 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 3: lot about this class. And the thing about running backs, 801 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 3: especially Day two running backs, it all depends on landing spot. 802 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 3: Like you can like a running back as much as 803 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 3: you want. Landing spot great like for fantasy at least, 804 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 3: landing spot determines everything. 805 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, so we'll see where some of these guys go. 806 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 2: The wide receivers, still plenty of wide receivers on the board. 807 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 2: Jalen Hyatt is still out there, Josh Downs, Centric Hillman, 808 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 2: some of the names that are still out there at 809 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,640 Speaker 2: the wide receiver position, and then tight ends. Everybody save 810 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid is still available. So I would think we're 811 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 2: gonna see Michael Mayer, Luke Musgrave, Darnell Washington, Sam Laporta 812 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 2: would expect to hear some, if not all of those 813 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,439 Speaker 2: names called coming up on Friday night. 814 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: So eventful first round. 815 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 2: We'll be back with you next week to recap the 816 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 2: entirety of the draft, and I guess I should also 817 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 2: remind you that the NFL Fantasy Live Draft fallout show 818 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 2: is coming on May twelfth. 819 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: Check your local listings as they say. 820 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 2: For that one, we'll be back with you on the 821 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 2: TV side to sort of recap everything and kind of 822 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:49,280 Speaker 2: preview you for what is to come in this fantasy season. 823 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 1: So a fun first night of the draft. 824 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 2: Hopefully you enjoyed it as much as we did, and 825 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 2: that this is where we will sort of set things 826 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 2: down for this bonus edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. 827 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: Stay happy, safe and healthy, do good and live well. 828 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: Enjoy the rest of the draft everybody, and we'll talk 829 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 1: to you next week.
