00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: Dale Lally here with Matt Williamson and it's fantasy football

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: focused time. I imagine, Well, anybody who had their draft

5
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: before the final preseason games were over is not a

6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: happy person right now. For a lot of them aren't

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: because in the last couple of rounds or something like that. Right, Yeah,

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: if you took j K. Dobbins in the second round,

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: you're not a happy happy camper right now? Where you

10
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: You know, you took a guy like uh IRV. Smith Jr.

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: He's my He's my breakout tight end this year not

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: so much. Yeah, I'm gonna wait on tight end. I'm

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: gonna take him a tight end eleven. And I'm so smart,

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: and you know, I could very well could have been

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: that guy. I love Derv Smith, I like j K. Dobbins.

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: I would like to grab both those dudes. But damn well,

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean we've lost Acres, A, t N and Dobbins,

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: all of whom would have been top four round picks

19
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: and are all rookies or in their second year running back.

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 1: Already we've been played a game. Yeah, I haven't played

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 1: a game. I wanted to go through the running back

22
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: rankings because I think it's really important. Here I'm looking

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: actually a pro football Yeah, that's what I wanted to

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: kind of talk about. I'm looking here where they've slotted

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: them at. Let's go down through their top they're top

26
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: guys here. Uh, they get McCaffrey one, of course, everybody does,

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook too, Kamara three real Cook on Cook though,

28
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean they have no receivers and Derrissaw has hurt,

29
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: theeland has been banged up. IRV Smith Van Now we

30
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: talked about cousins with COVID and a segment ago. Things

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: aren't good in Minnesota right now. Either to use a

32
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: second overall pick on Cook, although I still would, it's

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: it's it's dicey. It's kind of the se Kwon Berkley argument,

34
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: like what do you do with these guys? They're running back?

35
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: This went through to me. You almost have to go

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: if you have the opportunity to go running back, running

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: back in the first two rounds, you have to. Yeah,

38
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: But I bet there's an artist, especially with everything with

39
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: everything has happened. Though, I know if you can get

40
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: too that you can count on great, as long as

41
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: your guy isn't the next one to fall. Yeah, if

42
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: you get three, yeah, look out they get Yeah Henry

43
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: pretty high pick just because insurance. Yeah, they get Thererick

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: Henry four. Um again, Kamarrow was three, Derrick Henry four,

45
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones five, Ezekiel Elliott is next. Then after that,

46
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: I bumped there and ends over Henry pr I think

47
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: that too. I might even put Ezekiel Elliott Prum right

48
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: now too. I think Elliott's cool. Questions, there's no doubt.

49
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: And I think your first three guys, you know, McCaffrey,

50
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: you just mentioned questions about Cook Kamara. You know he's

51
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: not a full time player. The running back position is

52
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: if you get two guys at that position that are studs,

53
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in it. You can pencil, Yeah, you're

54
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: gonna have a shot. You'll be in it, no matter

55
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: what you know, no matter what else you do. But

56
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: it's Barley or slam dunks. Yeah right, there are a

57
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: lot safer than Kamara or Cook, and they're gonna go later.

58
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: Um after Elliott, they have Barkley. I can't put that high.

59
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: I just can't because and he's never carried the ball

60
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: Hunter fifty times in a season. I know people are

61
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: looking at while he's gonna be Alvin Kamara this year

62
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: with with their offensive coordinator change everything is he is

63
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: he gonna be Alvin Kamara? I mean, I think that's

64
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: the plan. If you pull their you know Sullivan, their

65
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, and we're going to use them just like

66
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: we did Alvin in New Orleans. But he's not as

67
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: good I mean player, but Kamara is a special Hall

68
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: of Fame type player. Eckler system really good player. After

69
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: they got Joe Mixon and then Nausea Harris um, then

70
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: you got Nick Chubb. I'm gonna go down where they

71
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: have these guys ranked overall, Kamar's number one, two is

72
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: Cook through these are overall rankings. Three is Kamara, four

73
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: is Henry, five is Jones. Elliott is at seven because

74
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: six is uh Davante Adams, seven is Sekuel Elliott, eight

75
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: is Barkley, eleven is Keler mixing His is thirteen, Naja

76
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 1: Harris fifteen, Chubb is sixteen, Nick Chubb Taylor, Jonathan Taylor

77
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: seventeen overall. Antim new Gibson is nineteen overall. Clyde Edwards

78
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: Hilaire is twenty two. Overall, those are the only guys

79
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: in a twelve team league that they have in the

80
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: top twenty four. It's a running back position. You gotta

81
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: draw a line because then it's really easy exactly. Yeah,

82
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: it gets, it gets. There's guys there that are are

83
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: good football players, but you know, maybe they don't catch

84
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: the ball that well. Maybe they are in our committee.

85
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: Maybe they are just pass catchers and they are going

86
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: to be the primary just got thrown in that mix,

87
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: you know. So to me, I think you have to

88
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: come out of your draft with two of those guys

89
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: out of the top, out of those out of that group,

90
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: and this will be hard to pull off. I mean,

91
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pick like in that neighborhood to

92
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: get to I mean, so, what number running back is

93
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire? Is he twelve? RB twelve? I think so,

94
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: I think there's a dozen. They have him at fourteen,

95
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: they get him at fourteen, okay, okay, four every fourteen

96
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: RB fourteen, So I think again there's fourteen guys you

97
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,559
Speaker 1: can trust as much as you can trust the running

98
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: back position. Period to be would have been in that group, yeah,

99
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: probably right, and Bakers would have been in that group absolutely,

100
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: So you know those fourteen, I think Edwards Hilaire is

101
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: clearly number fourteen, but he's in the fourteen and those

102
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: top thirteen. I think you could shuffle around however you like.

103
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: You know, maybe you like nausey more than ekela As.

104
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: I think you and I probably do. And they all

105
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: have questions. But after fourteen it gets into sort of

106
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: dart throw land, you know, I mean, it gets scary

107
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: because you're gonna have to I mean, ten of these

108
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: guys were about to talk about are going to be

109
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: starting for somebody every week. Yeah, this next group here, um,

110
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: I would much really to be picking my third running

111
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: back out of this group as opposed to be too

112
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: Chris Carson mhm, DeAndre Swift, David Montgomery, who's fine, He's fine?

113
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: Fo Yeah, right, awful, awful, Miles Sanders Hi variants, James Robinson, right,

114
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: Robinson and Edwards to me are similar. This is where

115
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards falls in right behind, right behind James Robinson,

116
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: right ahead at Josh Jacobs. Yeah, I can see that.

117
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: Mike Davis Henderson. Some of those guys who want they

118
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: really good players, they're just in good situations, you know,

119
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: like he's not, you know, right, But in this situation,

120
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: if you've got Mike Davis as your number three, you're

121
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: real happy. If he's your number two, you're you're not

122
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: You're not super happy about him being your number two.

123
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: And he deserves to be ranked where he is because

124
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: his opportunity is tremendous and there's nothing behind him. You know,

125
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: James Robinson's in that mold. Um Edwards is in that

126
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: mold for right now. You know that it's just if

127
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: a running back. So we get a touch in Jacksonville, Baltimore, Atlanta.

128
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: It's one guy basically, So volumes came and that's wonderful.

129
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: But man, I don't like using third round pick and

130
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: fantasy on guys that are back up NFL players, you

131
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean, they start for a team. His

132
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: overall ranking according your Pro Football Focus is fifty second.

133
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: Who's just das Mike Davis. Just for argument's sake, Lamar

134
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: Jackson's ranked fifty one in their overall rankings. Who would

135
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: you rather have? Sure? I mean, who do you trust

136
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: without question? Yeah? That's scary. I mean I'm not a

137
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: big Chris Carson guy. I own him nowhere. I can't

138
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: remember one mock draft in you and I did a

139
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: million of them where we ended up with Chris Carson.

140
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: Not that he's bad, he's fine, but like all of

141
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: a sudden, he's pretty darn valuable. I mean as like

142
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: the next guy behind Edwards Hilaire. Oh absolutely, I mean

143
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: heat over the last two weeks dramatically, without a doubt,

144
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: and I don't like question. Yeah, I'm looking here at

145
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: the wide receiver rankings. They have Davante Adams six over all,

146
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill ten, Stefon Digg's twelve, Calvin Ridley fourteen, DeAndre

147
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: Hopkins eighteen, Justin Jefferson twenty, DK Metcalf twenty three, A J.

148
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: Brown twenty four. So you're looking at it. You know,

149
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: eight or nine they were running back, he would be

150
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: second overall, you know what I mean? Like all those guys,

151
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: I trust, I have any doubt about any of them,

152
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: not that they're all hit, but every receiver you just

153
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: mentioned there to me is safe, high end wide receiver one,

154
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: exactly what you want out of the position, and they're

155
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: really really good players as sending players. I don't even

156
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: think you mentioned DK Metcalf. Maybe he didn't. I missed it,

157
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: but I mean he was twenty three. Yeah, yeah, I

158
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: mean tons of I mean Keenan Allen's twenty six, Terry

159
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: mclaurin's twenty seven seed lamp, yeah, Allen Robinson, Allen Robinson's thirty.

160
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean, now you're you know, you're the same number

161
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: of We're like, you know, thirty fourteen deep at the

162
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: receiver position. Those guys are all studs. They're all studs.

163
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: There's no if. It's Hilaire is at fourteen here and

164
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, he's okay. He's not player though, like

165
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: a J. Brown is better than everwards, a layer at

166
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 1: what they do, you know, the at their respective jobs

167
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: or as fantasy producers see. I always like to take

168
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: a step back before my draft because I get set

169
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: in my ways and I'm gonna take a running back.

170
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a running back. And we talked about

171
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: that ten minutes ago, and I still probably will because

172
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: I want two of those fourteen But what if I

173
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: could just have one of those running backs and a

174
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: double off the wall and Digs or Hopkins or something

175
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: like that, so in case my running back does flop,

176
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't just destroy me. I mean, like it's hard

177
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: to pass on all those surebet receivers is my only point,

178
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: because you're not going to get him if you go

179
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: running back running back, right well, I mean you're running

180
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: back running back, you're probably looking at maybe you get

181
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: Seedee lamp to get Allan Robinson as your number one.

182
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: Maybe get Mike Evans. Yeah yeah, And those guys are fine,

183
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: they will hurt you. But I think I'd rather be picking.

184
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: I'd be much rather be picking in that group. Then

185
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: I would be out of that second group, of that

186
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: second tier or even third tier of running backs. Agreed,

187
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: I would would you rather have Josh Jacobs or would

188
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: you rather have Tyler Lockett? But we also know how

189
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: and the overall rankings are right around the same. Right,

190
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: lock it's way better. I mean you trust him a

191
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: thousand times more in my opinion, So yeah, much rather

192
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: lock it. Like you don't you want to be receiver

193
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: shopping in the third and fourth round. You don't want

194
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: to be running back shopping in the third and fourth round.

195
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: But you know, no one kne who James Robinson was

196
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: a year ago. You know, if you're if you look

197
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: at it like I need to weather the storm at

198
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: running back for two or three weeks until somebody steps

199
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: up and becomes more valuable. I think though by this

200
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: point last year, James Robins sin at least emerged like

201
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: he was a guy. Yeah he at least he at

202
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: least had a preseason. I don't know if there's that

203
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: guy this year? Who are you looking at it as? Oh,

204
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: this young running back, he's got a great opportunity. There's

205
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: nobody ahead of him, and here it is. I mean,

206
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: maybe it would have been Henderson and then they went

207
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: and traded for making trade for Sony. Michelle. See some

208
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: guys in the mid rounds though I am a little

209
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: interested in it brings me to Michelle, Like Damien Harris

210
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: mac Jones looks really good and Harris is running really well.

211
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: Should he really be a second round running back considering

212
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: that he has as many things wrong with them as

213
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: Jacobs and Henderson? I mean, all these guys ragged above him,

214
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: but you can get him in the fourth or fifth,

215
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, is he really any

216
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: worse than anyone that's not in the top fourteen? Yeah,

217
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, it's just so much has

218
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: happened at the running back position. Is my point? Is

219
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: I really want to take a step back and say,

220
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: not where they're going. But I might just reshuffle a

221
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: lot of my rankings because so much has changed. And

222
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: if Damien Harris all of a sudden really is worth

223
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: a third round pick, but I can get him the

224
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: fifth because running backs are so bad and the position

225
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: took such a hit and he lost one competitor and

226
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: for touches. Is that the guys that are gonna win

227
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: the leagues this year? I don't know it's gonna be

228
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be difficult. I mean I really think, you

229
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: know it. It goes back to our argument all along

230
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: about the you know, taking Nase Harris in the first

231
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, the first round. I'm looking here at the

232
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: guys who are stud every down and running backs, and

233
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing a bunch of them. But at least

234
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: he's that Yeah, you know, he's got a lot of

235
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: touches behind the battle line. But he's really talented, you know.

236
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: I mean him and Naja are sort of similar at least,

237
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, they're getting the ball a lot. But yeah,

238
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: I just don't know that about that. Is that a

239
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 1: good spot for Nausea Harris? Overall? I would take him

240
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: well before that I think he's a first rounder still.

241
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: I mean i'd take him over Eckler. I mean I

242
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: would consider him. It's ten or later. He's a he's

243
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: a tenth rade of running back according to Pro Football Focus.

244
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: I think he should be like the tenth grade player overall.

245
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: There's another thing to throw at just since we've gotten

246
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: it ends a bit of a nightmare of course, as

247
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: as usual, but we mentioned Irv Smith, Dallas Goddard. I

248
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: can't trust anymore, you know, like he was my seventh.

249
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: There's three stud tight ends, and then there's Hawkinson, Pitts

250
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: and Andrews, and then who's seven and below? You know,

251
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: like you're punting if you don't get a top six.

252
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: Although I like logo, you need to get one of

253
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: those six guys or your trouble. But now I can't

254
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: trust Alice Goddard because Urch is not going away or

255
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: Smith's off the list. So where I'm going with this,

256
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: and again this is not what you and I do.

257
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: You might you just take Travis Kelsey instead of Edwards Hilaire.

258
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: You know, like they're not even close to being the

259
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: same type player. I will let you get a shot though,

260
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: to take Kelsey over it like like, I'm looking at

261
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: these rankings and somebody's gonna take Kelsey. A lot of

262
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: a lot of drafts. Kelsey is gonna go in the

263
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: first round. I think he'll go. Yeah, I think he

264
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: goes eight to eleven and just about every draft. But

265
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: would you consider being that guy with your fingers crossed

266
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: that nausey or Gibson's there in the second round just

267
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: so you don't forgetting that type. Actually, I actually did

268
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: a mock draft last night where I took Kelsey in

269
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: the first round. Um, I think I was picking it

270
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: like five, and I just took Kelsey just to see

271
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: what it looked like. And it actually grated out pretty well.

272
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: I bet it's better now than it was a month ago. Yeah,

273
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Because then I went running back,

274
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: running back, and I went diving in that that mid

275
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's fourth, fifth, sixth round wide receivers

276
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: um and came out. Okay, Claypole and Judy and those

277
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: type of guys. You don't have the you don't have

278
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: the star, but you've got the guys with a bunch

279
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: of upside. And then yeah, and then you you take

280
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers as your you know, seventh or eighth round

281
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: quarterback Brady or yeah, one of one of those guys.

282
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's guys there you're not you know,

283
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: it's right. Yeah, I'm just taking a step back right

284
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: now after all the weekend's activities and the end of preseason,

285
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: to make sure that my strategy is still as sound

286
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: as I originally thought it was, because I'm having doubts,

287
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, like I am so big on running back

288
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: running back and you said that originally, like if you

289
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: don't get two of these guys, you're in big trouble.

290
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: And if you do have to and they both stay healthy,

291
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in it and believe in that. But

292
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: they're just dropping like flies. And you know, I don't

293
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: want to scary. I don't want to take a fourth

294
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: round running back in the second round just because he's

295
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: a running back. No, I hear you on that. That's

296
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: why I think it's one of it's it's those it's

297
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: those top fourteen guys where nobody I'm not I don't

298
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: want to go. I'm not gonna take Chris Carson in

299
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: the second round just because take him in the third round.

300
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: Let's say you have the first or second pick in

301
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: your draft and you take McCaffrey or Cook whatever. Okay, no,

302
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: that's great. The pick come rolling around, you have to

303
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: take a running back with one of those, right, and

304
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be You're not gonna draft way overdraft, like

305
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: Carson isn't even gonna be there at that point. That

306
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: might be Josh unless just to run those receivers, right,

307
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you wait to the fourth round when

308
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: you have the first or second overall pick, you're gonna

309
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: end up. You're not gonna get Edwards. You're not gonna

310
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: get You're gonna have. Yeah, you're gonna have Christian McCaffrey.

311
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: And I was just gonna bring up Miles Gaskin is

312
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: gonna be your your number two back? Good luck with that.

313
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: Good luck with that, Michael Carter right right, and then

314
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: the sixth, seventh round Ronald Jones, Evan Coleman open, he

315
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: hits and you know, bad years. So like, if you're

316
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: really I mean, it's better to be at the second

317
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: half of the first round, for the second, third round, guys,

318
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: at least you have some options at those top fourteen

319
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: we brought up. But if you don't take one and

320
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: you're picking one man. I mean, you're gonna either overdraft

321
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: a running back badly, you know, Josh Jacobs or whoever

322
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: that is, or you're gonna be really weak at running

323
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: back to no matter what. Yeah, you're gonna be chasing

324
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: running backs every week, which is fine, you can do

325
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: that because guys will get hurt. But I still think

326
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: there's there's some the guys at the top of the border,

327
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: at the top of the board because they earned it. Now.

328
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry scares me just just because of his work

329
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: the last two years, you know, I mean, I think

330
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: that's why to me, I have Aaron, I have Aaron

331
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: Jones ranked ahead of of of Henry just I know,

332
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: I know it's hard to is to say, well, I

333
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: trust Aaron Jones because you know he's not the primary ball,

334
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: But I do trust Aaron Jones. You know, he's been

335
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: a top five performer each of the last two years

336
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: and is great. Can Henry have a better year than

337
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: he did last year? I don't think. I mean he

338
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: can't have a better year than he had last year.

339
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: He could have similar, But I don't think they'll be

340
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: playing with the Leeds as much. I don't trust the

341
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: team is quite as much, and even on a per

342
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: game basis, Henry was behind Kamara Cook, you know. I mean,

343
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 1: the guys that catch passes still were proposed at points

344
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: than Henry, and you're drafting him at his ceiling. I mean,

345
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: he has to have the exact same year to be

346
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: worth the third pick in your fantasy draft, and chances

347
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: of it are slim by the same token to you.

348
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: Afraid of Christian McCaffrey at one. Overall a little, I mean,

349
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: the Panthers are kind of interesting to me because everyone's

350
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: super high on Terence Marshall. I'm a big DJ more guy,

351
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, and I think he left a lot on

352
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: the bone last year because of whose quarterback is they

353
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: just resigned Robbie Anderson. All three of these guys are

354
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: players I want on my fantasy team. Plus you mix

355
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: h McCaffrey's catches, but Donald's like my thirtie rand quarterback,

356
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: Like that doesn't add up, you know what I mean,

357
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: catches and all these receptions and all this great passing game,

358
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: but I want nothing to do with their quarterback. Like

359
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: something's got to give, you can't. They can't all catch

360
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: a hundred balls And then Donald ends up as a

361
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: quarterback eight. You know, something's got to get and probably

362
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: some of it affects all of them. So I bet

363
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: all those guys are a little inflated because we like

364
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: the players, but that's not what fantasy football is like.

365
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: You'd like them all to be Steelers, but that doesn't

366
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: mean you want to pick them wear at ADP for fantasy. No.

367
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: I agree completely. I had that pies and I just

368
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: I look at that. There's questions about McCaffrey. There's questions

369
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: about Cook, as you mentioned, and he misses. He misses

370
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: games every year. Kamarrow's got a situation. I think Jamis

371
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: Winston being the starter in New Orleans helps Alvin Kamara

372
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: without question. Hill supposed to Taysom Hill would have been

373
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: a disaster. We don't know Jamis will do for seventeen

374
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: games right, and Hill might still. To me, that's why

375
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: I think I think. I think Aaron Jones and Ezekiel

376
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: Elliott are safer picks in some respects. I know Elliott

377
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: didn't have a great year last year, but he was

378
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: playing with garbage at quarterback. He was, he really was,

379
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: and the line was everyone was injured. So that's actually

380
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: what I was about to ask you is nausey to

381
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: bring it back to Steelers. Is he one of the

382
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: safest first rounders? I think he is. I think he is.

383
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: I would you rather have You're gonna take those other

384
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: guys ahead of him, just because you know you're not

385
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: gonna take Naja Harris over Derrick Henry. You're not gonna

386
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: take him over, you know, Aaron Jones or Ezekiel Elliott.

387
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: I think i'd take him over Sae Kwon Barkley. Yes, yeah,

388
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: I'd take him over. I take him over at l

389
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: R because I know he's gonna get the the goal

390
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: line carries, right. But I feel like even mixings in

391
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 1: that Mold or Chubb, you know exactly what they are,

392
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: and they have no physical problems. You know, you know

393
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: what their problems are. At least you know what I mean,

394
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: which then makes them a little safer. It's not like, well,

395
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: I need this to happen, and this to happen. Even

396
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: as much as I love Antonio Gibson, we don't know

397
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: that he's the third down back yet. I think he'll

398
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: catch more passes this year. But Jadie Mkissic is still

399
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: going to trot out there on third and eight. You know,

400
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: he's not going away away. Look about Jonathan Taylor. I

401
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: know a lot of people downgraded him because of their

402
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: their situation of Quentin Nelson's. Well, Nelson came back today,

403
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: wentz probably there for the opener. They receiver problems. Like,

404
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: Taylor and Rubb are almost the same guy to me, right,

405
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: you know, and I think I agree. I'd rather probably

406
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: have Harris than both of them. But they're both pretty safe.

407
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: I mean, they're really good at what they do in

408
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: the real world. It's it's it's it's Chubb. I think

409
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: he I mean, I think he's you know, Chubb. To me,

410
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: if you take shob like say pick eight or nine,

411
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: that's the clear double off the wall. You know what

412
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna get. Yeah, he's not going to be on

413
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: the field on third downs and Kareem Hunt's gonna steal

414
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: some some touches away from him, but he's still gonna

415
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: have rushing yards and you know or whatever. Maybe more

416
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: than that, he's gonna average a touch. You know, he

417
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: averaged a touch on for game last year. He was

418
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: pretty darned good when he came back from injury and

419
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: caught more passes than people realized too. By the way

420
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: and tailored to I mean, if he averages, if he

421
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: averages two catches a game, that's fine because he might score.

422
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: You know, he might take one eight yards. And if

423
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: you believe that the Browns are as good as everyone

424
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: tends to think, he probably plays with more leads this year,

425
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, like they were even and basically

426
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: in uh uh point differential last year. I mean they didn't.

427
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: They didn't. They weren't beating people in the fourth quarter

428
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: and just handed the Chub over and over. You know.

429
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: I mean I'm kind of warming up though him, to

430
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: be honest with you, because like as good as Kareem

431
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: Hunt is, he's not nearly as good as Chub. And

432
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: they just gave Chubb money. When they just gave Chubb money,

433
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: they didn't give Chub money not to use him. No,

434
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: And and that's it's a great line. He's a great player,

435
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: you know, Like I think we all hope that Nagy

436
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: turned into as good a back as Chubb. I mean,

437
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: different top style, But if he's as good at ball

438
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: carrier's Chub, no one's gonna questions you are taking Naja

439
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: in the first round. No, absolutely not. But I I

440
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: you know again, there's so many question marks all over

441
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: that running backboard it is. And I think you know, again,

442
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: if you can get two of those guys, you're you're

443
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: in good shape. If you get three of them, um,

444
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: three of the top twenty five ish, you're gonna be

445
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 1: happy going down to a Josh Jacobs or Gus Edwards.

446
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: Is your number three back your static now? Yeah? Because

447
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: Jacobs is what he is too. I mean, he's not

448
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna catch any passes, but he's good at football, and

449
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: they'll give him the ball and you hope they're not

450
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: losing at the end of games too much. So would

451
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: you rather have Robinson or Edwards? K Yeah, probably Robinson,

452
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: although I think Robinson is gonna lose some That's that's

453
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: the difference. You know. I think they're gonna use Carlos

454
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: hide at times. But just because you know Urbin Meyer,

455
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: I coached him at Ohio Stetson, Ohio State guy, and

456
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: they gave him money. But I to your point, Robinson

457
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: will catch passes. Now. Is he gonna go out and

458
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 1: catch fifty passes? I don't know he's gonna do that,

459
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: but he's gonna catch more passes than Gus Edwards by far.

460
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: Probably and I think they're you know, yeah, I think

461
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 1: their numbers overall will be similar on the ground, So

462
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: Robinson is a more valuable player. Yeah, I mean, even

463
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: if the Jags are losing by four keen in the

464
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, I don't think that's Carlos hide time. No,

465
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: certainly not, you know what I mean? Definitely not. You

466
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: would you rather have those two guys with Javante Williams.

467
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: It's been a lot more buzz about it. He's been

468
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: moving up my list as some of these things above

469
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: him have gotten less settled. And my reasoning was, first

470
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: of all, we both loved them coming out of school,

471
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: so I like the player. But they've really rested him

472
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: in the preseason as if he's the number one, Like

473
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: we might all kick ourselves a week one go and

474
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: Denver told us there are the number one by not

475
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: playing him and we didn't listen. Yeah, I mean, I

476
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: would be more than happy to have him as my

477
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: number three. Yeah, I do car wheels for that. That's

478
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: a perfect number three. But I've moved him up like

479
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: five spots just this morning to be honest with you,

480
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: But like would rather have Henders. I think I'm reluctant

481
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: with Henderson. I think they might see Michelle. I'd rather

482
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: have Javante Williams. I'd rather have Javante Williams and anybody

483
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: else in that tier all those guys were talking about. Yeah, yeah,

484
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: you might not be, especially if I got my especially

485
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: if I got my two starters, if I got my

486
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: two starters before that. Yeah, and he's my three and

487
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: I'm I'm throwing him in as my flex. I'm super happy.

488
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: Then you're super happy, right, Like, I'm taking him above

489
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunts, you know what I mean. Oh yeah, the

490
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: guys that you can start, but you need an injury

491
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: like he's got. They traded up in the early chase

492
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: for him, Like they've kind of told us what they

493
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: think of this guy. It's not much different than what

494
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: chase Edmonds or that Jacob. Yeah, the more I think

495
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: about it, maybe I should move them up even more

496
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: because the writings on the wall and the writings on

497
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: the wall that he's their guy. Yeah, there's no doubt

498
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: they don't play him. You know, Bridgewater is probably good

499
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: for and he'll dump it down to him a fair amount,

500
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: you know, keep him in game. I can't move I

501
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: can't move him up ahead of Carson. I can't move

502
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: him up ahead of Swift. I can't up ahead of

503
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: a little bit Montgomery. I can't put him ahead of

504
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 1: Montgomery at this point. But I think he's I think

505
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: he's right there with Miles Sanders in that area. Yeah,

506
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: and those three guys you just mentioned, though, Montgomery, Swift,

507
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: I forget who else you've said. They're not Sanders, Carson, Carson.

508
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: I want somebody else to draft. Yeah, yeah, I don't.

509
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm oh, you're hoping, and then then you take then

510
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: you take Javante Williams, right like, I don't want to

511
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: have to take one of those three. I mean, there's

512
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: there's some negatives to them, for sure. In fact, I

513
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: think I just thought Javonte Williams is this year's James Robinson,

514
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: although it's not the same story and he's not a

515
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: he's not an undrafted guy coming out of nowhere. This

516
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: is the guy is a second round pick who is

517
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 1: going to be perhaps a thousand yeard Russia. I mean,

518
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: they've kind of come out and said it's not going

519
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: to happen. But I don't think it's outside the realm

520
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: of possibility that Melvin Gordon goes to Miami or Baltimore

521
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: or somewhere else. Yeah, you know, all these running back injuries,

522
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: they have to be fielding calls. No, there's no doubt.

523
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: And if somebody makes you an offer for a guy

524
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: you don't have plans for, you trade them and you

525
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: just mean, yeah, you don't have plans for him because

526
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: you drafted Juante Williams and they've been resting him, and yeah,

527
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: right now I'm really warming up to him too. And

528
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: again I think Bridgewater is good. But that will all. Uh, yeah,

529
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: we'll continue to track all this. That's going to do

530
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: it for today's show. So for my partner Matt Williamson,

531
