Speaker 1: Friends too. Yeah, now's welcome your bab your host by
Speaker 1: date from Mane Spun, your co host by died from
Speaker 1: SAT Francis Frank standfall ladies and tell me your ps
Speaker 1: and with that we'll look at you inside Studio thirty
Speaker 1: four is the BFFs. That is Frank Staffel, I am
Speaker 1: Greg sauceman Eric Young alongside as well. We made it
Speaker 1: halfway through the NFC South yesterday and given the fifty
Speaker 1: four minutes we have remaining, we'll get to the other half.
Speaker 1: We hope, we hope that's exactly right. Greg. Happy hump
Speaker 1: Day to you, buddy. Had to sleep last night. I
Speaker 1: slept pretty well alright, if I remember correctly. How's the
Speaker 1: scott fishball going today? I heard you're you're moving along
Speaker 1: very quickly. Well, I know, I was very interested in
Speaker 1: an update. Uh so I made the last uh the
Speaker 1: last pick of last night, I believe. Um. I texted
Speaker 1: you guys around twelve or some made my pick. Uh.
Speaker 1: Since then, that was about fourteen hours ago. Uh, there's
Speaker 1: been one pick? Is it the same culpra as before? Oh?
Speaker 1: My goodness, the same exact person. God. We yesterday we
Speaker 1: were on the show and we were talking about how
Speaker 1: one person hadn't hadn't picked for six hours. Now he
Speaker 1: has not picked for another six hours. It was funny.
Speaker 1: Like five rounds ago, Greg, we're now officially the slowest
Speaker 1: draft in Scott's fishbole. I'm sorry this must be killing you.
Speaker 1: Why how are you man? I'm doing good, Man, I'm
Speaker 1: doing good. Uh, yesterday was was fun man. I enjoyed
Speaker 1: doing the show again with you guys. That made me
Speaker 1: think about all kinds of stuff. Fantasy football season. We're underway,
Speaker 1: we are, We're here, and it's it's awesome. It makes
Speaker 1: me super super super pumps to have you here along
Speaker 1: with us. Fantasy football season is clearly underway. We had
Speaker 1: a massive argument breakout in the control room down stairs
Speaker 1: over Leonard four Net, which is excited to get him
Speaker 1: next week. Unfortunately we're doing the NFC South to the South,
Speaker 1: so I'd love to hear coming up next week. Might
Speaker 1: have to invite Sean Gassimakia and Steve sata boy E
Speaker 1: y s thoughts on four Nett as well, um, but
Speaker 1: with just an to do it before the break and
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna start the next team yet, but any
Speaker 1: other thoughts Frankie when it comes to Atlanta or New
Speaker 1: Orleans since yesterday, No, I mean nothing really stands out.
Speaker 1: I think we got to a lot of them. Like
Speaker 1: we didn't really talk about Jared Cook. I mean we'll
Speaker 1: have time to do that once we get into like
Speaker 1: position previews. So then we'll get into Jared Cook and
Speaker 1: how he fits in with the New Orleans Saints. But again,
Speaker 1: if we expect their pass volume to come down a
Speaker 1: little bit, then is there really going to be that
Speaker 1: much to go around with Jared Cook? So when we
Speaker 1: get into the tight ends later on in the draft season,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Jared Cook. All right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 1: When we come back, Eric Young, Frank Stample and myself
Speaker 1: breakdown now Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bruce Arians back and why
Speaker 1: it matters to us and that comes your way next. Hey,

Speaker 1: Back with you, BFFs, Frank Stamford, Gregg Sauceman, Eric Young alongside.
Speaker 1: Let's not waste any more time, guys, Let's get right
Speaker 1: into it. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have long been a
Speaker 1: place for fantasy goodness or wanted fantasy goodness, from Jameis
Speaker 1: Winston onto the running Max and certainly to Mike Evans,
Speaker 1: who was drafted just a year or two ago as
Speaker 1: a top five wide receiver. Well it's not going as
Speaker 1: that so much anymore. But now that Bruce Arians is there,
Speaker 1: everyone's back on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers bandwagon. Arian's got
Speaker 1: a year off to refresh himself and now we all
Speaker 1: jump back in. So I'm gonna start with you. Is
Speaker 1: it a bit premature to jump back in on a
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians offense. I mean, by the time he was
Speaker 1: done in Arizona. Maybe it was based on their quarterback
Speaker 1: usuing all the injuries, but it kind of just felt
Speaker 1: like he was mentally done, that what he believed in
Speaker 1: the NFL didn't necessarily work as well as it did
Speaker 1: in his early years with the Cardinals. Again, it could
Speaker 1: be really the injuries, certainly, and it could be related
Speaker 1: to just getting a mental break. But now he's in
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Is it all just gonna go back to
Speaker 1: what we thought it should be? For me, this is
Speaker 1: a super interesting coaching change. Um. I like Bruce Arians.
Speaker 1: I loved the Cardinals. Um I have a couple of
Speaker 1: Cardinals hats. I'm kind of high on the Cardinals this
Speaker 1: year just because all the interesting stories drafting Murray in
Speaker 1: the first round and this new offense that's supposed to
Speaker 1: be prolific and it's college style and will it work
Speaker 1: in the NFL? But Arians was was that guy first?
Speaker 1: You know, he was doing different kinds of things five
Speaker 1: or six years ago, and I loved his coaching style.
Speaker 1: I think it fell off. I mean with anything, things
Speaker 1: gets dale and and with coaching, I think, you know,
Speaker 1: players eventually stopped hearing your voice and stop doing what
Speaker 1: they're told, and you get tired of the same old
Speaker 1: things and him saying the same things. All coaches have
Speaker 1: a shelf life, except for Bill Belichick. Maybe, um so,
Speaker 1: maybe it was hard for him to move on, hoping
Speaker 1: he comes in fresh. They are loaded with talent all
Speaker 1: over the field. On the offensive side of the ball,
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm pump man like I got. Mike Evans
Speaker 1: is my tenth overall pick. Mike Evans tenth overall on
Speaker 1: eui's big board. He is buying, he is buying hard
Speaker 1: on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Frankie, you're right there with him. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of what happened with Bruce
Speaker 1: Arians the down years that he had as their head coach,
Speaker 1: specifically their offense was due to injuries. Greg. If you
Speaker 1: look at the five years that he was with the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: they ranked top twelve in total offense. The three years
Speaker 1: that Carson Palmer was healthy in they ranked twenty four.
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer got hurt. That was the year that Drew
Speaker 1: Stanton stepped in and seen the final season that Bruce
Speaker 1: Arians was there calling plays, Carson Palmer also got hurt,
Speaker 1: and then blame Gabbert All No blame Gabbert. Journeyman in
Speaker 1: the NFL came in, stepped in in their offense ranked
Speaker 1: twenty two. But let's not forget Carson Palmer put together
Speaker 1: a career year through like thirty five touchdowns. Their offense
Speaker 1: finished first overall in the entire NFL total offense they
Speaker 1: finished first, So I think that there's a lot to
Speaker 1: be excited about with not only Bruce Arian's mindset, but
Speaker 1: obviously the weapons at the Tampa Bay Bucks possessed because
Speaker 1: they have Damis Winston, who obviously brings a high pedigree.
Speaker 1: Because of where he was drafted in the NFL draft,
Speaker 1: he hasn't been able to necessarily put it together. They
Speaker 1: have Mike Evans, they have Chris Godwin, they have Ronald Jones,
Speaker 1: and they also have O. J. Howard. So there's a
Speaker 1: lot of really interesting pieces on this offense. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: close to where e Y is that I'm very excited
Speaker 1: about both this marriage of Bruce arians style of offense
Speaker 1: and the weapons that they have there already. Greg, all right,
Speaker 1: so let's let's start here with like Evans. He said
Speaker 1: he's the number ten overall player on his word, I'm
Speaker 1: looking at like my Scot's fish bol For instance, Mike
Speaker 1: Evans wound up being the eighth wide receiver taken. I'm
Speaker 1: not worried about where he went because the quirky rules
Speaker 1: or whatnot. He was the eighth wide receiver taken after Hopkins, Adams,
Speaker 1: Julio Michael Thomas, juju Um, Keenan Allen, and Odell Beckham Jr.
Speaker 1: That sounds right to you, Frank, I think that Mike
Speaker 1: Evans should live in the second round. I would probably
Speaker 1: take him ahead of Antonio Brown just because I liked
Speaker 1: the Bucks offense a little bit more. Uh. Look, Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown is gonna be a target monster this year. And
Speaker 1: we'll get into more of the Raiders talk when we
Speaker 1: get to the a f C. West. But I just
Speaker 1: think Mike Evans is potential for targets. His efficiency went
Speaker 1: up last year. His potential for touchdowns, which we've you know,
Speaker 1: we've seen in the past. He has two seasons of
Speaker 1: double dig touchdowns already in his career. I mean, I
Speaker 1: looked this up before the show. Greg. There's an awesome
Speaker 1: stat on Mike Evans. He joins A. J. Green and
Speaker 1: Randy Moss is the only players in NFL history to
Speaker 1: start their career with five consecutive seasons of one thousand
Speaker 1: receiving yards. So, I mean, that's that's pretty good territory
Speaker 1: to be in there. We know that the talent is
Speaker 1: there with Mike Evans. Um, you know, a hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy nine targets are gone from this team now, with
Speaker 1: Adam Humphries gone, with the Shawan Jackson gone from this team,
Speaker 1: and you know that's why people are buying into Chris Godwin,
Speaker 1: which we'll get into. But look, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: targets gone, and Mike Evans was already a target monster.
Speaker 1: So I think the potential for UH targets, receptions, yards
Speaker 1: and touchdowns it's all there for Mike Evans. I mean again,
Speaker 1: it's just the marriage is perfect here for fantasy purposes.
Speaker 1: Greg Eric Frankie mentioned Chris Godwin, who, much like Hanny Golladay,
Speaker 1: bursted onto the scene in middle round pick and people
Speaker 1: were immediately excited about him. Now Tam was clearly excited
Speaker 1: about him. With Bruisiians as the head coaches, they didn't
Speaker 1: do anything to replace Adam Hume Freeze or do anything
Speaker 1: to replace the Sean Jackson. They just like Chris Godwin.
Speaker 1: It's your time, now, how early would you draft Chris Godwin? Um?
Speaker 1: I I feel like the hype is kind of getting
Speaker 1: out of control, but this happens with players that that show.
Speaker 1: He looked really good last year, even in a not
Speaker 1: massive role, but having Humphrey's gone and the offense is
Speaker 1: going to be different. I think they're going to throw
Speaker 1: the ball more. The running game is questionable. Um, I
Speaker 1: think with between the two guys, I think it can
Speaker 1: be serviceable. Ron Jones is a sleeper of mine. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to pick him high or anything, but if
Speaker 1: he's there and like the mid to later rounds, I'm
Speaker 1: going to take him because of his pedigree. Obviously last
Speaker 1: year was a nightmare. But um, Bruce Arians and whoever
Speaker 1: the number one running back, that's that's a recipe for success.
Speaker 1: So Chris Godwin, I mean where he's going now, I
Speaker 1: think it is still okay. But I think as as
Speaker 1: it goes, he's going to keep moving up. Since July
Speaker 1: on the NFC, Chris Godwin is the twentie wide receiver
Speaker 1: off the board that is at pick forty seven pick
Speaker 1: forty seven on average. But how can you argue it though,
Speaker 1: I mean the opportunity is there. He's going to start
Speaker 1: on the outside. I mean he's a verse of a
Speaker 1: wide receiver too. He can move inside. We saw it
Speaker 1: that last year. You can play a little bit in
Speaker 1: the slot. He could play on the outside as well.
Speaker 1: Greg he led this team in red zone targets last
Speaker 1: year with sixteen only playing scent of the snaps. So
Speaker 1: I would imagine, as you know, he steps into an
Speaker 1: every down kind of role now as a starter, and
Speaker 1: he's playing more snaps in that snap percentage you know,
Speaker 1: gets up over eighty five percent of the snaps. You know,
Speaker 1: more targets will be there, obviously, you know, I mentioned
Speaker 1: how many targets are up for grabs with Adam Humphreys
Speaker 1: now gone and DeShawn Jackson now gone, he's flashed. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think he could do a little bit of everything.
Speaker 1: I think he's a good route runner. I think he
Speaker 1: has strong hands, you know. I think he could be
Speaker 1: a possession receiver. I think they can use him in
Speaker 1: the red zone if teams are double teaming Mike Evans.
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to really critique where he's going
Speaker 1: in draft because at a DP right now, I mean,
Speaker 1: at that four or five turn, he's go right around
Speaker 1: guys like d J. Moore, Mike Williams, Tyler Lockett, Calvin Ridley.
Speaker 1: These are all breakout candidates. And you can argue that
Speaker 1: his opportunity, coupled with bruce Arians mindset and the scheme here,
Speaker 1: the fit and you know what we expect James Winston
Speaker 1: to do. How can you argue with him going ahead
Speaker 1: of all those other breakout candidates. I think his opportunity
Speaker 1: is probably the best. I think this area is probably right.
Speaker 1: I think it a lot of it doesn't depend on
Speaker 1: what you're looking for you looking at it. But it
Speaker 1: surprised you if he's better than Robert Woods. Greig. I
Speaker 1: know you're the Robert Woods guy, but there's three wide
Speaker 1: receivers in Los Angeles compared to two wide receivers for Tampa.
Speaker 1: I know James he's gonna get his too, but is
Speaker 1: he gonna get as many targets as like the third
Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams. I'm not so
Speaker 1: sure he's gonna get that many receiver in the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles right, But we know that they mix and match,
Speaker 1: you know, like they're pretty consistent for the most part,
Speaker 1: but most of like is it are all three of
Speaker 1: them going to go off in every single game? I
Speaker 1: guess my question is when you look at Bruce arians historically,
Speaker 1: has he even able to And I don't know the answer.
Speaker 1: I'm just throwing it out there to you guys, like
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to have an offense that boasts two
Speaker 1: thousand yard type of wide receivers because you're at the
Speaker 1: guy at twenty overall, you want the potential to have
Speaker 1: a thousand yards, to have closest double digit touchdowns. Can
Speaker 1: this offense produce that well? I know he did it
Speaker 1: one year with he put together Fitzgerald and John Brown
Speaker 1: when John Brown was still in Arizona. And then was
Speaker 1: John Brown's career year right where he went up over
Speaker 1: a thousand yards and he had like six or seven touchdowns,
Speaker 1: finishes like a top twenty four wide receiver. And I
Speaker 1: think that's what we're expecting Chris Godwin to do and
Speaker 1: just to piggyback off of you know what Ey said. Look,
Speaker 1: we could be excited about Ronald Jones. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: that more when we get back, but they don't really
Speaker 1: have a run game to speak of as of now.
Speaker 1: So if they have to lean more on the pass,
Speaker 1: I think that only works in the favor of both
Speaker 1: Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. I think this Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: team is gonna have to throw the ball even more
Speaker 1: than the Arizona Cardinals had to do in years past.
Speaker 1: When Bruce Haarians was with them. Let's take a break
Speaker 1: here e I mentioned Ronald Jones as a sleeper. We'll
Speaker 1: get Frank's thoughts on that coming up next. From the

Speaker 1: website for details. All right, e I mentioned or Rojo
Speaker 1: as a sleeper, and he's certainly not the only one
Speaker 1: to mention Ronald Jones here in year two. You're talking
Speaker 1: downstairs about Philip Lindsay in year two, and of course
Speaker 1: that inevitably leads to Ronald Jones, who struggled all last
Speaker 1: year injuries and ineffectiveness. And yet all season long we
Speaker 1: were on the bandwagon, off the bandwagon, and all the
Speaker 1: bandwagon we kept wanting to believe. Well, you can keep
Speaker 1: believing it never never happened. Peyton Barber almost from day one,
Speaker 1: held on to that job, and end of the season
Speaker 1: with that job. Reports had a training camp, say or
Speaker 1: not training camp, minicamp say, Peyton Barber's still a guy.
Speaker 1: But fantasy owners are rightfully so look the talent of
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones. Look at what Bruce Arians has worked with before,
Speaker 1: specifically David Johnson, and you're like, well, Ronald Jones best
Speaker 1: fits that profile. Fantasy owners right now, Frank are getting
Speaker 1: in on Ronald Jones. And and the discount isn't exactly
Speaker 1: well huge by any means. People seem to like Ronald Jones.
Speaker 1: If you look at the running backs over the nffc
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is going off the board as the thirty
Speaker 1: eight running back around pick one oh five. It's not terrible,
Speaker 1: it's not outstanding. I would say, what do you think
Speaker 1: about Ronald Jones going forward? I'm interested? How can you
Speaker 1: not be right everything we just said about the Tampa
Speaker 1: bay Bucks offense. We expect them to score a lot
Speaker 1: of points this year. They're gonna get down the field. Look,
Speaker 1: it's more so a vertical passing attack. But we have
Speaker 1: seen the upside of what a running back can do
Speaker 1: inside of Bruce arians offense. Now, I will say this,
Speaker 1: outside of that one monstrous David Johnson season, it's not
Speaker 1: like Bruce Arians produce a ton of fantasy viable running backs.
Speaker 1: There were years where like Andre Ellington let us down
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson was the starting running back in Arizona, and
Speaker 1: maybe he just didn't have the right running back for
Speaker 1: his system. And maybe, you know, once he got a
Speaker 1: guy like David Johnson, he was able to bring that
Speaker 1: to fruition. But Ronald Jones has the has a has
Speaker 1: the potential to start for this Tampa Bay Bucks team
Speaker 1: heading into the season. And if you look at his
Speaker 1: ADP right now you mentioned it, Greg, He's going around
Speaker 1: you know, one oh five a DP. He's one of
Speaker 1: the last potential starting running backs being drafted off the
Speaker 1: board right now. There was a report, you know, a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks back that Greg Allman of the Athletics
Speaker 1: said that he still expects, you know, Peyton barber to
Speaker 1: lead this team in in rushing attempts and rushing yards.
Speaker 1: And you know, with all due respect to to Greg Alman,
Speaker 1: look he's he's around the team a lot, so he's
Speaker 1: got a pulse of what's going on there. Peyton barbera's
Speaker 1: average three point eight yards for carrying. The question is
Speaker 1: Greg Allman related to Dwayne Allman? I don't even know
Speaker 1: who Dayne Alman is. Greg. What it was there was
Speaker 1: a Greg all of an Allman brothers joke. Come on,
Speaker 1: I couldn't say that I knew their first name. Continue,
Speaker 1: I have like five of their records downstairs. I just
Speaker 1: don't know the first name. Basis well, I knew Greg
Speaker 1: Allman and telling hiout Greg Allman or whatever. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure it's spelt differently to Greg. But we'll let you
Speaker 1: rock for now. Look, the fact of the matter comes
Speaker 1: down to where Ronald Jones being drafted right now. It
Speaker 1: would be one of the last starting running backs off
Speaker 1: the board. You're getting at a good discount. You're getting
Speaker 1: him in the nine tenth round. I wouldn't want him
Speaker 1: as my RB three. I wouldn't want him starting on
Speaker 1: my team. I wouldn't even want him as my starting
Speaker 1: flecks to start the year. But if I could get
Speaker 1: him as my RB four as some depth and with
Speaker 1: the potential to start on a really good offense where
Speaker 1: we expect him to score a lot of points, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna downplay his pedigree. Look, he was a second
Speaker 1: round pick, but he wasn't Bruise arians second round pick.
Speaker 1: That is true. It was. It was the same GM,
Speaker 1: but not but not the same not the same coaching staff.
Speaker 1: So you know, he's kind of inheriting that too. But again,
Speaker 1: like they hate him. It's it's not like it's not
Speaker 1: like Bruce Arians wanted Peyton Barbera on the team either.
Speaker 1: But they didn't do anything any of these players. You
Speaker 1: didn't pick any of these players. I mean, someone's gonna play. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't like that argument. I don't think it's silly, Okay,
Speaker 1: but I look, they had all off season to go
Speaker 1: out and bring in a running back Craig draft one,
Speaker 1: you know, sign a Levian Bell, sign a mark Ingram
Speaker 1: something like that, and they didn't. So maybe Bruce Arians
Speaker 1: likes one of these two, and Ronald Jones has the pedigree.
Speaker 1: Peyton barbara wasn't in draft undrafted free agent. You brought
Speaker 1: up the fact that in the past, like I got,
Speaker 1: like Andre Ellington led the way and they didn't really
Speaker 1: run the ball. Ultimately, they tried and it stopped. It's
Speaker 1: not it's certainly possible they do that. But I agree ultimately,
Speaker 1: Ei like where he's going around pick one oh five,
Speaker 1: that's probably that's fine. That's not costing you all that much.
Speaker 1: It's not insignificant, but it's not costing you all that much. Ultimately,
Speaker 1: let me get to O. J. Howard and Jameis Winston
Speaker 1: here Wednesday. Tumultuous season last year, So Moulture's last couple
Speaker 1: of years. I'd say under Dirk Cutter, this is his
Speaker 1: last shot, essentially under Brusarians O J. Howard in year
Speaker 1: two cameraon Brad coming off an injury. People are really
Speaker 1: investing on both of these guys. E y, are you
Speaker 1: you on both O. J. Howard and Jamis Winston? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think I am. And I think that just comes
Speaker 1: down to I believe in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense.
Speaker 1: And look, if I believe in their offense, I have
Speaker 1: to believe in their starting quarterback. My my hope is
Speaker 1: that Jamis Winston has matured and has become a growing
Speaker 1: up and in his taking his craft serious. He's got
Speaker 1: every two a possible big guy, can move pretty decent,
Speaker 1: can run a little bit, can make every throw short, long,
Speaker 1: decent accuracy. Like he is a superstar quarterback. I mean,
Speaker 1: he has the ability to be a superstar quarterback, and
Speaker 1: I think the mental side of it is the only
Speaker 1: thing stopping him, and in the end, in the NFL,
Speaker 1: the mental side is the only thing that stops all
Speaker 1: these guys. They're all freak athletes. They're all playing in
Speaker 1: the NFL because they're in the five percentile of freak
Speaker 1: athletes in the world. And but what separates them is
Speaker 1: their mental side, their preparation, uh, you know, being able
Speaker 1: to bounce back from mistakes, things like that. I think
Speaker 1: this is going to be his biggest year yet. And
Speaker 1: I believe that because he's older, hoping that he's more mature,
Speaker 1: will approach the game. And he now he's back up
Speaker 1: is backs up against the wall with professional athletes, with
Speaker 1: people in general, this is where we get to see
Speaker 1: what you're really made of. And I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: do well. I think he's gonna end up as a
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback this year. And e Y staring around
Speaker 1: the term freak athlete, find it interesting because you know,
Speaker 1: e Y knows what a freak athlete looks like. He
Speaker 1: has a freak athlete himself. I work with a bunch
Speaker 1: of them, and he works with a bunch of them,
Speaker 1: So no, you're absolutely right. Look, Jameis Winson is in
Speaker 1: a great spot here. I saw have some question marks
Speaker 1: about the offensive line the rank according to Football Focus,
Speaker 1: but in terms of the weapons, again, the weapons and
Speaker 1: the scheme and having Bruce arians there, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin,
Speaker 1: O J Howard. You know I said this about Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1: It's not to the same level. But everything is set
Speaker 1: up here for Jameis Winston to have a monster year. So, UH,
Speaker 1: the defense is I still don't expect the defense to
Speaker 1: be very good. They invested a lot in the draft.
Speaker 1: You know, they brought in some guys in the UH
Speaker 1: through free agency, Shaquill Barrett and Dion Buchanan. But I
Speaker 1: still don't think that this defense is gonna turn around
Speaker 1: right away. And that was that led to a lot
Speaker 1: of the fantasy production last year is the fact that
Speaker 1: they were trailing a lot in games and they had
Speaker 1: to throw the football. Jamis Winston looked some of the
Speaker 1: positives for him. Two sixty passing yards per game in
Speaker 1: his career, seven point six yards per tempt. Those are
Speaker 1: both good numbers. He actually averaged a career ards twenty
Speaker 1: five rushing yards per game last season. The negatives greg
Speaker 1: the turnovers. We have fifty eight career interceptions in fifty
Speaker 1: six games. That's not gonna had the job done. He's
Speaker 1: got to cut down on the interceptions. He can make
Speaker 1: every throw. I mean there were a few games I
Speaker 1: watched last year with James Winston. He would make some
Speaker 1: of these throws that and it's baffling to me. And
Speaker 1: it's honestly, it's frustrating because he can make throws in
Speaker 1: the NFL that other people can't make. He can flat
Speaker 1: out he can make all the throws. But Ey is
Speaker 1: just right about it's the mental capacity. That's the step
Speaker 1: that he has to take this year, and it's really
Speaker 1: his last chance. So many different quarterbacks that choose from. Obviously,
Speaker 1: another one we're gonna get to in a moment is
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, and I'm excited about him very very much
Speaker 1: so just based on his ADP. More so for me
Speaker 1: that jameis Winston. O J. Howard I mentioned, and the
Speaker 1: tight end position always seems to be very very tough
Speaker 1: to fill um O J. Howard has that pedigree. Top
Speaker 1: ten draft pick, he's draft being drafted is a top
Speaker 1: five tight end right now? Does that make sense to you, guys? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think it does. I want one of those top
Speaker 1: six tight ends this year. It's it's it's a very
Speaker 1: obvious group. You have your type, your your top three guys,
Speaker 1: in Travis Kelly, see Zach Ertz and George Kittle, and
Speaker 1: then you have that next year of really talented tight
Speaker 1: ends that we expect to make that next step in O. J. Howard, Hunter, Henry,
Speaker 1: and we spoke of Evan Ingram the other day as well.
Speaker 1: But I have a little stat here for you when
Speaker 1: it comes to O. J. Howard, greg and it is
Speaker 1: with de Sean Jackson and Adam Humphrey still on the team.
Speaker 1: Last year, his sixteen game pace was fifty five receptions,
Speaker 1: nine yards and eight touchdowns. They're now gone again. It's
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy nine targets up for grabs. So
Speaker 1: I know that typically in years past, excuse me, Bruce
Speaker 1: arians hasn't really used the tight end all that much,
Speaker 1: but he's never had a tight end this good. Um,
Speaker 1: And we know that O. J. Howard's gonna be on
Speaker 1: the field a lot because he's a really good pass
Speaker 1: blocker and you know, he could play the slot, he
Speaker 1: can play on the outside as well. It's just really
Speaker 1: really versatile tight end here. And I think he's one
Speaker 1: of the you know, top we're talking about physical freaks.
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the top two three among
Speaker 1: the tight end position in the NFL. I think every
Speaker 1: thing is set up for O. J. Howard to have
Speaker 1: him monster year. I haven't done my rankings yet, but
Speaker 1: I think, off the top of my head, I would
Speaker 1: rather have him over both Angram and Hunter Henry. He's
Speaker 1: probably gonna be my tight end four once the once
Speaker 1: the rankings get published, gig all right and e y
Speaker 1: us you a new problem either? Yeah, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: this guy is a freak. I think he might be
Speaker 1: the best athlete at the tight end position overall. Um,
Speaker 1: he's got everything that makes a superstar tight end. He's
Speaker 1: proven that he can do it. They just gotta get
Speaker 1: him in the ball and he's got to stay on
Speaker 1: the field. All Right, we got about a minute remaining.
Speaker 1: I want to get to Carolina on the other side. So,
Speaker 1: is there anything else with Tampa Bay that we need
Speaker 1: to know about guests? Well, we didn't really talk about
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber. He is going about like thirty thirty five
Speaker 1: picks later than Ronald Jones looked. There's nothing to be
Speaker 1: excited here in terms of upside, and for PPR leagues
Speaker 1: offers next to nothing. But you know, if you take
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones, it's very easy to just lock up the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay backfield. Greg, you can invest your ninth and
Speaker 1: eleventh round picks or ninth and twelveth on picks, and
Speaker 1: then you have the Tampa Bay backfield. So I just
Speaker 1: thought it was worth mentioning based on the report from
Speaker 1: Greg Allman, who still expects Peyton Barbera to be the
Speaker 1: starting running back Dayne's brother. He's just going super late,
Speaker 1: so I don't really want him. There's not a lot
Speaker 1: of upside, but it's very easy to lock up both
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay running backs this year. We talked about how
Speaker 1: hard it is to do with some of these other
Speaker 1: backfields potentially. Yeah, I mean with the Rams, you have
Speaker 1: to use your first in your sixth round picks right now, crazy,
Speaker 1: We'll take the break, We'll come back. Carolina is up next. Hey,

Speaker 1: So we're back the BFFs, Eric Young, Frank Standfile, Grex Sum.
Speaker 1: We're done with Tampa Bay. One last team left in
Speaker 1: then NFC South to get to and it's the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 1: And I mentioned before that I once again feel that
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is an undervalued commodity. If you look at
Speaker 1: the NFFC again, since the beginning of July, Cam Newton
Speaker 1: is not being drafted as a top ten quarterback. He's
Speaker 1: being drafted at number twelve, right barely in front of
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Is the Cam Newton that a year ago
Speaker 1: or two years ago, it was number one quarterback in
Speaker 1: the league. We had a conversation that you got a
Speaker 1: draft this guy inside the top five quarterbacks going forward
Speaker 1: yet major injury issues. But this offense. We talked about
Speaker 1: things changing with We talked about being smart. Savage is
Speaker 1: the same as as always been. I know the turners
Speaker 1: are there now just as they were last year. What
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, you know Cam is gonna run. You
Speaker 1: know he's gonna fall into the end zone. That's what
Speaker 1: he does. I think getting Cam Newton is a twelfth
Speaker 1: quarterback off the board. I love it. Man. You don't
Speaker 1: even pick one oh three right around where you're getting
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones. You mean Cam Newton every time that if
Speaker 1: he's healthy, Greg is a very big if. Though there's
Speaker 1: a lot of players you can say that about. It's true,
Speaker 1: but with a quarterback, specifically arthurscopic shoulder surgery in the
Speaker 1: off season. They labeled it as a clean up whatever.
Speaker 1: That's clean up YEA, to clean up, you know, just
Speaker 1: you know, spray a little, you know, something on it,
Speaker 1: you clean it up. Whatever. Yeah, I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: think it really works that way Greg. But here's what
Speaker 1: I'll say about Cam Newton. I think he took strides
Speaker 1: forward last year in terms of his completion percentage. Obviously
Speaker 1: a lot of that was just throwing dump offs to
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. What sixty seven point nine percent completion That
Speaker 1: was a massive, massive uptick for him in Norv Turner's office,
Speaker 1: I really thought Nerve Turner did a great job and
Speaker 1: getting the most out of Cam Newton, getting the most
Speaker 1: out of Christian McCaffrey and the rest of their weapons.
Speaker 1: But his ability to run is going to be dependent
Speaker 1: on how healthy he is, Greg, and we saw that
Speaker 1: last year. In his first eight games, nine point one
Speaker 1: rushing attempts per game, forty two point eight rushing yards
Speaker 1: per game. All four of his rushing touchdowns came during
Speaker 1: that nine game stretch. His his next his next six
Speaker 1: games four point six rushing attempts per game, twenty four
Speaker 1: point three rushing yards for games. So I mean, look,
Speaker 1: the numbers went down tremendously, zero rushing touchdowns, and during
Speaker 1: that stretch he was QB twelve. The first eight games
Speaker 1: that he played, he was QB two overall, So so
Speaker 1: much of his value was just dependent on if he's
Speaker 1: healthy enough to run, and the fact that we have
Speaker 1: this question mark about him coming off shoulder surgery. I
Speaker 1: agree with you that you're getting him at a really
Speaker 1: nice discount. Greg. I'm more willing to take Cam Newton
Speaker 1: in a one quarterback league because I'm going to be
Speaker 1: confident in my ability to get a serviceable backup for
Speaker 1: him in case he gets hurt. But if I play
Speaker 1: in super Flex and Cam Newton goes down and he's
Speaker 1: one of my quarterbacks or my super Flex, I'm screwed.
Speaker 1: So I'm more apt to take him in a one
Speaker 1: quarterback league where I could get a really good backup
Speaker 1: for him. Greg, what do you think about him Newton
Speaker 1: this year? Eric, Yeah, I think with that style of play,
Speaker 1: and I mean the way he's played his entire career
Speaker 1: college and pro is is it's not if he's going
Speaker 1: to get hurt, it's when he's going to get hurt.
Speaker 1: As far as a single quarterback rea draft league, look,
Speaker 1: Kim Newton is a fantasy stud with the touchdowns, running
Speaker 1: the ball, um having McCaffrey there where he can just
Speaker 1: do these small dumps and McCaffrey could take it, you know,
Speaker 1: ten yards. That's how is his stats? Improof? Like I mean,
Speaker 1: to me, it's a no brainer. Who do I throw it?
Speaker 1: Do I throw it to the best player on the field?
Speaker 1: That makes complete sense to me. But Cam, it's a
Speaker 1: huge risk. It can be a huge reward, but you
Speaker 1: have to be ready to put someone else in. My
Speaker 1: suggestion is maybe even taking another quarter back at the
Speaker 1: at the end of your draft, if there's a good
Speaker 1: one available, then that way you know you have somebody
Speaker 1: and you don't have the scoop off, some plug off
Speaker 1: the off the waiver wire a Week five or six
Speaker 1: kind of like you were saying, Frank, make sure you
Speaker 1: have a good backup and not some scrub that you're
Speaker 1: plugging off the waiver wire later in the year because
Speaker 1: of that injury risk that Cam Newton presents. Now, Eric
Speaker 1: was saying that smart strategy. You just dumped the ball
Speaker 1: off to your best player and kind of let him
Speaker 1: do his thing. No, I don't really want to go
Speaker 1: into Christian miccaffrey all too much, because we talked about
Speaker 1: Camary yesterday. Got it. There's nobody else there. He's a
Speaker 1: top three pick. You can make the case from a
Speaker 1: number one, number two, number three. I don't want to
Speaker 1: have the argument. We have not enough time to do it.
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about who else Cam Newton's
Speaker 1: gonna dump that ball off too outside of CMC. And
Speaker 1: that's d J. Moore and that's Curtis Samuel. Kelvin Benjamin
Speaker 1: was drafted several years ago to be the number one
Speaker 1: wide receiver and he was for about a year. Devin
Speaker 1: Functions was drafted to replace Kelvin Benjamin and he did
Speaker 1: for about it. You are neither of those guys are
Speaker 1: there anymore? D J. Moore and Curtis Samuel are the
Speaker 1: number one number two wide receivers theoretically on the team.
Speaker 1: Their fantasy values kind of open the air right now, Eric,
Speaker 1: if you have to pick one of those players, Curtis
Speaker 1: Samuel or d J. Moore in a vacuum, who would
Speaker 1: you rather draft? I feel like the more valuable is
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel because you can get him way later. And
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think anyone honestly could tell you
Speaker 1: which one of those guys is gonna pen out. They're
Speaker 1: kind of the same type of receiver UM with with
Speaker 1: Funchs and Benjamin. Those were guys. They run down the field,
Speaker 1: he throws it, they jump up in the air, and
Speaker 1: they fall into the m zone. That's the kind of
Speaker 1: receivers that both of those guys were. These guys are
Speaker 1: much different. They can line up all over the field,
Speaker 1: they can play outside, they can play slot slot. But
Speaker 1: they're not big bodies, neither of them. Um So for me,
Speaker 1: I I would pick more first if he felt to
Speaker 1: me far enough. But I think the better value is
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel because Curtis Samuel could end up being the
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver there in Carolina. The number one
Speaker 1: right receiver is going to be Christian McCaffrey. That's true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the number one receiver on the team is going to
Speaker 1: be McCaffrey. We saw that last year. He led all
Speaker 1: running backs and targets and receptions a hundred and seven
Speaker 1: receptions for Christian McCaffrey last year. If you got those
Speaker 1: numbers out of your wide receiver, you'd be happy let
Speaker 1: let alone from a running back. But I do agree
Speaker 1: with e Y in terms of the value right now,
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel does present more value. True story, Greg. We
Speaker 1: are going to do a Fandel Hurry video today where
Speaker 1: I will present six busts, and originally I had d
Speaker 1: J Moore as one of my bust. I started looking
Speaker 1: into him, and the more I looked into him, I
Speaker 1: realized there's not really much much that I could say
Speaker 1: bad about DJ Moore outside of where he's being drafted
Speaker 1: right now, and even that we mentioned it earlier, he's
Speaker 1: being drafted right around Chris Godwin. All the breakout wide
Speaker 1: receivers are going that same range. It's you know, it's
Speaker 1: at four or five turn. It's late fourth early fifth round,
Speaker 1: and when you draft them there, that's the fourth or
Speaker 1: fifth round. You can't have them. Must like me, you
Speaker 1: that safety at four or five because if they bust,
Speaker 1: you're screwed. But you can pretty much say that about
Speaker 1: all those wide receivers being there, like, is there a
Speaker 1: safe wide receiver there? It's you know, it's a lot
Speaker 1: of guys who are expecting to take that next step.
Speaker 1: It's Calvin Ridley, it's Tyler Lockett, it's Chris Godwin. You know,
Speaker 1: it's guys that we haven't necessarily seen do it over
Speaker 1: the course of a full season. So if you go
Speaker 1: a little bit, you go a little bit later than that.
Speaker 1: Like someone like Cooper Cup is probably safer, that's probably true,
Speaker 1: But cutting off a torn a C is Tyler Lockett safer?
Speaker 1: He's probably safer because we kind of saw him do
Speaker 1: it last year, but just on really low volume. He
Speaker 1: was like record setting efficiency Tyler Lockett was last year.
Speaker 1: I think he finished as a top twenty wide receiver.
Speaker 1: You didn't even have a hundred targets last year. So again,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that when we get to the NFC West.
Speaker 1: But look, a lot of these wide receivers are going
Speaker 1: in the same range, and I think d J. Moore
Speaker 1: has the opportunity to break out here Greg because I
Speaker 1: think outside of McCaffrey. He's probably going to be the
Speaker 1: second most targeted player on this team. I think he
Speaker 1: is a and it's not a knock on Curtis Samuel.
Speaker 1: I think d J. Moore is a more complete wide
Speaker 1: receiver then yeah, but yeah, but it was drafted in
Speaker 1: the first round. D J. Moore was, and over the
Speaker 1: final nine weeks of the season, he played over of
Speaker 1: the snaps in eight of those games, and you know,
Speaker 1: we start to saw him take off a little bit.
Speaker 1: Thirteenth in the NFL in yards after after the catch
Speaker 1: while he wasn't even a full time starter for the
Speaker 1: most of the season. So he's dangerous in that regard.
Speaker 1: Nine point six yards per target that was nineteenth among
Speaker 1: wide receivers. So he makes the most of his opportunity.
Speaker 1: Originally I thought he was going too high, but when
Speaker 1: you compare him to other wide receivers going in that range,
Speaker 1: I understand why people are excited about d J. Moore.
Speaker 1: If I had to choose who's the better value right now,
Speaker 1: it's Curtis Samuel. I mean, there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: He's going sixty picks later right now, and he could
Speaker 1: have a similar opportunity to d J Moore a Swiss
Speaker 1: Army knife. You know. They can line them up in
Speaker 1: the backfield, get a few rushing attempts. They can use
Speaker 1: them for end around screenplays, quick slants. He can catch
Speaker 1: the ball down the field as well. I mean, really
Speaker 1: two versatile wide receivers. I'd rather have Curtis Samuel for
Speaker 1: the value, but I can't really get mad at people
Speaker 1: for expecting the breakout from d J Moore as well.
Speaker 1: I do want to mention also on this team, outside
Speaker 1: of d J Moore and Curtis Samuel, you have Tori Smith,
Speaker 1: you have jerryus right who comes over from Minnesota. And
Speaker 1: it's still Chris Hogan season Chris Hogan member of the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers as well. So there's a lot of names there,
Speaker 1: but the two that you trust most that are gonna
Speaker 1: be on the field consistently as they're two starting wide receivers,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Curtis Samuel and d J Moore at least.
Speaker 1: Actually so I think so. But I will say this
Speaker 1: on our lads dot com, which is evil scouting service,
Speaker 1: they have Curtis Samuel listens as the third wide receiver
Speaker 1: behind d J Moore. Like behind Toria Smith's Like, there's
Speaker 1: just a lot of names there. I mean a lot
Speaker 1: of NFL teams use three wide receiver sets often now definitely,
Speaker 1: I think it all move around like playing the slot,
Speaker 1: DJ Moreker play in the slot with Moore, Smith, Samuel
Speaker 1: right In Hogan, a lot of like similar guys Like
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just don't expect Chris Hogan or
Speaker 1: Tory Smith or Right to really demand any targets. I
Speaker 1: don't really think that any of them have done anything
Speaker 1: in their career. I mean, you know, sens Tory Smith
Speaker 1: a couple of years with the Ravens, But I don't
Speaker 1: know that any of those wide receivers at this point
Speaker 1: in their career, what they've done, what their pedigree is,
Speaker 1: just overall their skill level, do they deserve to get
Speaker 1: that massive target share? Uh, the answer for me would
Speaker 1: be no. So that's why I think Samuel and d J.
Speaker 1: Moore are entrenches the top two wide receivers on this
Speaker 1: team and should get the most opportunity in that regard.
Speaker 1: What other of you guys will start with you taking
Speaker 1: a chance of Greg Olson here, I don't think so, man.
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, I don't you just don't retire and
Speaker 1: then come back and are efficient. I just I just
Speaker 1: don't believe that he's going to be who he was. Uh.
Speaker 1: Ian Thomas is interesting to me because I feel like
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers are a team that throws to the
Speaker 1: tight end, especially in the red zone. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if that was because Greg Olsen was so good,
Speaker 1: but I feel like that scheme is set with all
Speaker 1: those kind of like not gadget players, but like what
Speaker 1: Frank said's kind of Swiss army knife players and you're
Speaker 1: kind of moving them all around and there is no
Speaker 1: real big body on the team. Ian Thomas could be
Speaker 1: a touchdown guy. Okay, I don't really have much interest
Speaker 1: in Greg Olson. Actually kind of wish that Greg Olson
Speaker 1: would have retired because then um Ian Thomas would be
Speaker 1: the starting tight end. And he kind of flashed a
Speaker 1: little bit down the stretch. I mean three of his
Speaker 1: last four games he was either seventy over seventy five
Speaker 1: yards or scored a touchdown in three of those four games.
Speaker 1: So he flashed a little bit. Uh. He had some
Speaker 1: pedigree coming out of college as well. I mean he
Speaker 1: was a productive college player. There was a lot expected
Speaker 1: from Ian Thomas, and I think maybe eventually he's the
Speaker 1: only twenty three years old, he could develop into a
Speaker 1: fantasy viable tight end. So for those who play in
Speaker 1: dynasty leagues or you know, deeper keeper leagues where you
Speaker 1: know tight ends get a premium or anything like that,
Speaker 1: then I would have interest in Ian Thomas for the future.
Speaker 1: I just don't know if it's gonna happen this year,
Speaker 1: barring on greg Olsen gets hurt. I just don't know
Speaker 1: that it's gonna happen. But I don't I don't really
Speaker 1: have much interest in Greg Olsen because this offense has changed.
Speaker 1: Everything used to go through him, but now he's really
Speaker 1: fourth in the pecking order behind McCaffrey, d J. Moore
Speaker 1: and Churs Samuel. He's Cameron Artist pain the handcuffed Christian McCaffrey,
Speaker 1: I guess, but I mean, I mean the guy, Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 1: I was gonna mention this stat earlier on and it's
Speaker 1: it's not one that comes from me. It's actually from
Speaker 1: Ben Gretch following on Twitter at yards Pergretti of uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true. He works with CBS Sports.
Speaker 1: He had this awesome stat about Christian McCaffrey. He played
Speaker 1: of the snaps eight different times last year. That was
Speaker 1: done only three other times by all the running backs
Speaker 1: in the NFL combined. So that kind of usage is
Speaker 1: exactly why Christian McCaffrey goes as one of the top
Speaker 1: four running backs and can flirt with being the top
Speaker 1: running back because he plays as many snaps as he does.
Speaker 1: They don't really have a serviceable backup. They're not really
Speaker 1: gonna come off the field. And if you've seen any
Speaker 1: pictures of him in the off season, he basically looks
Speaker 1: like a white miniature version of the Incredible Hope. It's insane,
Speaker 1: like you might be able to get you might be
Speaker 1: able to work him into like a w W contract
Speaker 1: if you wanted to e y, because honestly, Christian McCaffrey
Speaker 1: is jacked out of his mind. Now, Yeah, it's it's madness, man.
Speaker 1: And I will say this, Uh, he was a guy
Speaker 1: that I don't think I was ever super high on.
Speaker 1: Um I just thought that maybe he wouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to hold up. But um man, he won't a season
Speaker 1: last year, and I think he's gonna be a beast
Speaker 1: again this year. All right, fishball just just took Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garoppolo with the seventh round. Like it, Jimmy g as
Speaker 1: your second quarterback. Let's go speaking Jimmy G probably quarterback
Speaker 1: rock Like it's just praisy. Everyone's gone west tomorrow. Let's
Speaker 1: do it. Let's do it. You will be here, Frank
Speaker 1: will be here, and I'll be here too, and hopefully
Speaker 1: you will be as well. We're back tomorrow, we hope,
Speaker 1: from the NFL to the NBA. Ealy Rhodo dot com

Speaker 1: So what did appen? What did happen? Here's what you
Speaker 1: missed on the BFFs. Mike Evans tenth overall on ei
Speaker 1: S Big Board. He is buying up. He is buying
Speaker 1: hard on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Frankie, you're right there
Speaker 1: with him. Yeah, yeah. And I think a lot of
Speaker 1: what happened with Bruce Arians the down years that he
Speaker 1: had as their head coach, specifically their offense, was due
Speaker 1: to injuries. Greg. If you look at the five years
Speaker 1: that he was with the Cardinals, they ranked top twelve
Speaker 1: in total offense. The three years that Carson Palmer was healthy.
Speaker 1: In fourteen, they ranked twenty four. Carson Palmer got hurt.
Speaker 1: That was the year that Drew Stanton stepped in. And
Speaker 1: then in seventeen, the final season that Bruce Arians was
Speaker 1: there calling plays, Carson Palmer also got hurt, and then
Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbert all no blame Gabbert, journeyman in the NFL,
Speaker 1: came in stepped in and their offense ranked twenty two.
Speaker 1: But let's not forget Carson Palmer put together a career
Speaker 1: year through like thirty five touchdowns. Their offense finished first
Speaker 1: overall in the entire NFL total offense, they finished first.
Speaker 1: So I think that there's a lot to be excited
Speaker 1: about with not only Bruce arians mindset, but obviously the
Speaker 1: weapons at the Tampa Bay Bucks possessed because they have
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, who obviously brings a high pedigree. Because of
Speaker 1: where he was drafted in the NFL draft, he hasn't
Speaker 1: been able to necessarily put it together. They have Mike Evans,
Speaker 1: they have Chris Godwin, they have Ronald Jones, and they
Speaker 1: also have O. J. Howard. So there's a lot of
Speaker 1: really interesting pieces on this offense. I'm I'm close to
Speaker 1: where e Y is that I'm very excited about this
Speaker 1: marriage of Bruce Arians style of offense and the weapons
Speaker 1: that they have there already. Greg, all right, so let's
Speaker 1: let's start here with Mike Evins. He said he's the
Speaker 1: number ten overall player on his board. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: like my Scott's fish Well. For instance, Mike Evans wound
Speaker 1: up being the eighth wide receiver taken. I'm not worried
Speaker 1: about where he went because the quirky rules and whatnot.
Speaker 1: He was the eighth wide receiver taken after Hopkins, Adams, Julio,
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, juju Um, Keenan Allen, and Odell Beckham Jr.
Speaker 1: That sounds right to you, Frank, Mike Evans should live
Speaker 1: in the second round. I would probably take him ahead
Speaker 1: of Antonio Browns just because I like the Bucks offense
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Uh. Look, Antonio brown is gonna
Speaker 1: be a target monster this year. And we'll get into
Speaker 1: more of the Raiders talk when we get to the
Speaker 1: a f C West. But I just think Mike Evans
Speaker 1: is potential for targets, his efficiency went up last year,
Speaker 1: his potential for touchdowns, which we've you know, we've seen
Speaker 1: in the past. He has two seasons of double dug
Speaker 1: touchdowns already in his rear. I mean I looked this
Speaker 1: up before the show. Greg. There's an awesome stat on
Speaker 1: Mike Evans. He joins A. J. Green and Randy Moss
Speaker 1: is the only players in NFL history to start their
Speaker 1: career with five consecutive seasons of one thousand receiving yards.
Speaker 1: So I mean, that's that's pretty good territory to be
Speaker 1: in there. We know that the talent is there with
Speaker 1: Mike Evans. Um you know, a hundred and seventy nine
Speaker 1: targets are gone from this team now, with Adam Humphries gone,
Speaker 1: with the Shawn Jackson gone from this team, and you
Speaker 1: know that's why people are buying too. Chris Godwin, which
Speaker 1: we'll get into But look, there's a lot of targets gone,
Speaker 1: and Mike Evans was already a target monster. So I
Speaker 1: think the potential for UH targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns,
