WEBVTT - NFL Draft Preview: Running Backs & Tight Ends 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:13.880 Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, April seventeenth, twenty seed twenty four. 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.680 Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where we're trying 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:18.400 to figure out how to mute Aaron Rodgers. It's me 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:20.400 and your man, MG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael f. 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.960 Florio and Lakwan Jones. Gentlemen, we are in the season. 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:30.560 We are eight sleeps away from the NFL Draft. Eight 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:34.040 sleeps away. It cannot come soon enough. Draft season is 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:36.080 too damn long. I know I probably shouldn't say that 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.520 as an employee of the NFL. It is too damn long. 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.680 We should have had the draft at least two weeks ago, 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:41.920 maybe even more. 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.520 We have reached silly season. But how are you guys coping? 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.320 How are you going to get through the next you know, 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:49.239 eight days until we actually do this thing. 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:51.680 I think I differ a little bit. I'm like, I 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:53.760 wish we had two more weeks of this time. 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:54.840 Yeah, gus sick. 0:00:55.640 --> 0:01:00.280 It's fun. And then when this ends like it, it 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.480 just it's dry for a couple of months. So I 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.800 wouldn't mind extending draft period a little bit. 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.720 No, no, yeah, that's gonna be a no for me. 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.880 Doug Money Okay, So honestly, okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:15.640 I'm gonna throw this take out here. I've said it 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.360 like on social media before. And if the black helicopters 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.039 come from me and you don't see me ever again. 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.679 You know why drafts are an American and we should 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:23.240 banish them. 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.240 Oh that I agree. That's a different conversation. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.039 You go, it is a different conversation, but drafts are 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.240 an American and we should banish them. In the meantime, 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.240 let's let's preview the draft we're gonna do on this show. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.959 Last week we talked about quarterbacks. This week we will 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:37.800 talk about running backs and tight ends. 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:38.520 Uh. 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.680 You know, we had Emory Hunt on a couple of 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.039 weeks ago. We talked some running backs kind of with 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.080 him there, you know, and just sort of the I know, 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.000 the pulse of draft nation right now is that this 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.680 is not a deep or a great running back class. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.480 But there are some names out there that I think 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.280 are interesting. It will kind of dive into some of 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.559 them there. And with side ends, I mean, there's really one, 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.680 but we'll try to scrounge up another name or two 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:02.560 that may be of interest. 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.720 So we'll dive into that too, But. 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:10.600 Let's start with a mock draft that hit the interwebs yesterday. 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:15.280 But yesterday or Monday, it was earlier this week. Peter Schrager. 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.919 Now Peter Schrager, you know, you know him from Good 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.720 Morning Football. You probably know him from Fox and some 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.960 of the other things he does. Usually very plugged in 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.880 with NFL front offices, with general managers, et cetera. Peter 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:32.040 usually does just a mock draft the entire off season. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:33.960 It's not like you're getting mock draft two point oh, 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.800 three point oh. He's not tweaking things. He goes and 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.880 he talks to as many people as possible, and then 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.799 he puts out the mock draft. And now I think 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.919 a caveat that's important because I saw a lot of 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:48.000 people talking about this on Twitter, is this isn't Peter 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.560 Schrager telling you what his draft grades are or where 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.799 he thinks a person will slot in the draft. This 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.680 is a mock draft based on things he is hearing 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.400 from NFL front offices. This is how he believes it's 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.880 going to shake out, based on conversations. This is not 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.720 about talent, This is not about fit. This is about 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.840 what he's hearing. So some of the big highlights are 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.760 headlines from his mock draft top three picks not really 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.359 a surprise Kayleb Williams at number one, Jaden Daniel's going 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.880 number two to Washington, Drake May going number. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.320 Three to New England. 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.120 Four is where it gets a little bit spicy, fellas, 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:28.840 and this is where we can start to dive in 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.800 on this one. He has the Giants making a trade 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.119 moving up to that number four spot, switching with the 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:42.560 Cardinals and taking JJ McCarthy. My first question to you, 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:47.960 Michael f Florio, is does this mean rip Daniel Jones. 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:50.240 Yes, like. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:55.320 Peter's plugged in, So if he's mocking a quarterback, if 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.680 he's mocking them trading up to get a quarterback, I 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.120 think that tells us everything we need to know about 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.000 Daniel Jones. But I think we could have came to 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.240 this conclusion on our own. Daniel Jones is arguably one 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.920 of the worst contracts in the NFL right now. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:10.240 Like yeah, and we've. 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.120 Been saying that, not just us, like the whole NFL 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.760 watching community since the day he signed that contract was like, 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:21.240 how much did you give Daniel Jones? So they have 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:25.279 an out after this year, no money on the books 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.520 really with him after this season, so I think we'll 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.120 see Daniel Jones start if he's ready for Week one 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.200 for the Giants, but no guarantee he finishes the year 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:39.640 as the starter. And clearly they're thinking ahead because everything 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.800 you hear is that next year's quarterback draft class is 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:45.159 not nearly as talented as this one. Plus Brian Dable 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.520 probably doesn't anticipate having a pick as high as six 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.080 next year. So if there's ever a year where you 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.320 make a move to get your new quarterback, it would 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:53.880 be this one. 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.440 Yeah, it's funny you talk about that contract, right, And 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.680 usually when big contracts are signed, there are always people 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.039 out there who are trying to find silver linings in 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:03.280 it and like, no, but. 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.960 This give us a team flex money. I think universally 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:10.280 it was like what are you doing? Like why is 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:11.000 this happening? 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:15.600 Like it's rare when everybody comes together with the same opinion. Uh, 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:17.600 this one seemed to be one of those things that 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:22.360 did that. So I you know, I know, we talked 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.560 about JJ McCarthy. He has been the subject of a 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.960 lot of conversation so far this draft season. I was 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.000 just sort of curious and like this was just a 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.160 fan perspective. I talked to some friends who are are 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:36.120 huge Michigan fans who watched every game, who traveled to 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.680 watch them in the playoffs or whatever, and I asked 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:41.479 them just their honest opinion, like what do you think 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.560 of JJ McCarthy, And they both immediately said he needs 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:49.080 a red shirt year, that he's not a guy and like, 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.080 mind you, these are died in the wooll you know, 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.599 go blue forever Michigan fans, and he's not gonna be 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.280 the guy that comes in in year one and is 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.760 the immediate starter and it's gonna lead you anywhere. That 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.320 he needs a red shirt year, which I thought was 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.839 a very honest and refreshing sort of take on this 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.280 whole thing that being said, And I think every scout 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.360 has said that he's a guy that has promised but 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.600 has flaws and needs polish. Yeah, if he does go 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.400 to New York, lakwan and he does become the starter 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.080 and he pushes Daniel Jones aside, or even if it's 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:24.320 just a competition, Yeah, is there anybody in this Giants 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:25.880 offense that we want this year? 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.800 No, that's the unfortunate part. Unless they bring in some 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.760 quality you know, players through the draft where you get 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.599 a little bit interesting, Like if I see a marshn 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.440 Lloyd go there, of course I'm going to be you know, 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.400 in on him in drafts, but I'm not going to 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.080 be paying a pretty penny for him based on you know, 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.720 the offense just doesn't have much around as what we're 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.880 looking at on paper. But I think JJ he comes in, 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:49.920 he puts some heat on Daniel Jones. I don't think 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.960 he comes in starting, so I don't think we'll be 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.120 talking about JJ and redraft this year. He'll be more 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.479 so behind Daniel Jones. And I think, you know, I 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.520 can see the quality that some of the scouts are 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.000 seeing in JJ. I mean, he's a guy that needs 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.680 some polish, but he has some twitch to him. He 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:06.839 has some calmness in the pocket about him, like he 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.720 can take off and go when when you know need be, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.080 he runs what effort And it's kind of like, you know, 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.360 he's an accurate quarterback that just needs some type of polish. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.560 There's building blocks there, so you can kind of see 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.000 why he's getting pushed up in drafts. So I agree 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:21.680 with schreker Man, the Giants need to move up and 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.280 get aggressive because, like Floria said, they're probably not going 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.440 to have this pick is high next year, and no 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.840 guarantee that Brian de Bull will be there next year 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:29.200 as well. 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:29.640 Well. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.480 I also think that you know right now, the early 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.240 scuttle butt is that the quarterback class is not going 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.480 to be quite as deep next year too, So I 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.880 think that's why you're seeing a lot of teams itching 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.720 to try to move up to get somebody, because I 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.680 don't think anybody wants to wait and see what's going 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:46.000 to be out there next year. 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:46.560 Now. 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.040 Yeah, let's also not bury the lead here though. If 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:54.080 the Giants are taking a quarterback, that leaves Malik Neighbors 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.720 free to go somewhere that has a quarterback that can 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.480 get the most out of him right away. 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:05.520 Which at let's keep on rolling through Schreker's Frock draft 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:06.480 here right now. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:07.840 Mind, this is just the first round draft. 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:09.960 So we got the Giants moving up to four to 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.120 take JJ McCarthy at five. 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:13.240 That leaves the Chargers. 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:18.040 He has them taking Marvin Harrison Junior, So hallelujah for 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.320 Justin Herbert. He's gonna have at least one major target 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.040 to throw to after they let both Keenan Allen and 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:28.280 Mike Williams walk. It also means what we sort of suspected, 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.000 they don't think Quentin Johnston is ready, you know, if 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.280 this is really going to be the pick there, So. 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:35.360 MHJ at five. 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.280 Romo Donze going to the Cardinals at number six, so 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.720 Kyler Murray gets another weapon to throw to after Marquise 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.560 Brown has left to go to Kansas City. The next 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.880 big fantasy relevant thing comes to number nine, where the 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.200 Bears are currently sitting now. Cording to Peter Schrager, the 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.480 Bears are trading out of number nine, which that sort 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.800 of blew my mind on its own, because I think 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.080 the prevailing thought was, hey, look, the Bears can go 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.520 get a quarterback at number one and then pair him 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:07.760 with a wide receiver if they needed to at number nine, Like, hey, 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.160 how great would it be if the Bears showed up 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.360 to camp this year with Caleb Williams and you know whatever, 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.240 Romo dud Say, Melik Neighbors whomever it might be. That 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.360 seems like it would be amazing. So according to this 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.040 mock draft, the Bears trade out at number nine with 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:26.920 the Indianapolis Colts, who move up and take Malik Neighbors. 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.200 So Florida, you were talking about pairing Neighbors with a 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:30.160 quarterback who can do. 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:34.280 Him some good. Melak Neighbors and Anthony Richardson, how you 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.880 like them apples, I this is. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:41.240 A match made in my heart, Like Richardson, I've been 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.880 like he's my guy for a while. Now I'm a 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:48.200 huge fan, huge believer of his. And then Malik Neighbors. 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.760 Like the other day I put on Twitter, I made 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.079 videos of like like today after I'm gonna be dropping 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.000 Marvin Harrison Junior. But I said, like, Malik Neighbors is 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.520 my wide receiver one. And everyone's like, that's clickbait, that's 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.080 your doing this for. And I'm like, no, you can 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.760 go again. Like I'm not saying Marvin Harrison Junior is bad. 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.360 I just think Malik Neighbors is more well rounded and 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.360 I think he would be an excellent fit along with 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.880 Michael Pittman Junior, because Pittman Junior is that big body, 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.440 big catch radius, possession guy, can move the chains. Neighbors 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:21.040 can score from anywhere on the field. He could stretch 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.680 the field. He's great after the catch with the ball 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.920 in his hands. So now you're giving two premium weapons 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.920 to Shane Psychen into Anthony Richardson. I think it would 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:33.120 be tremendous for Anthony Richardson's value. It would keep him 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.240 in that QB five QB six conversation for fantasy, at 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.000 least in my opinion. And then Malik Neighbors goes to 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.080 a spot where there's a lot of volume. And what 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.600 I love most about Schriggers Mack is all three of 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.719 these wide receivers go to a spot where there's a 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:51.240 good quarterback in place already that can get them the ball, 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:55.240 and there's targets up for grabs as well. Like if 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.719 one of these three, like I kept thinking to be 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.880 a Dunes, they went to the Bears, You're like, Okay, 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.200 he could be good for real life for them, but 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.600 for fantasy, is he going to get enough volume to 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.480 live up to his ceiling? Probably not, But on these 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.360 these teams, all three of these guys, maybe not on 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.400 the Colts because Michael Pittman Junior is awesome as well, 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.040 but they can beat number one in targets year one. 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:16.920 I mean, that was gonna be my question to you, Lakwan, 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.320 is there gonna be enough volume? Like we hope there's 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.360 enough volume with Anthony Richardson that he can sustain both 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:26.080 Pittman and Malik Neighbors, or or do we just believe 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.880 that Neighbors doesn't necessarily need a ton of volume, that 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.240 because he is a game breaker, that he can maybe 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.280 do more with less, because I would think that in 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.920 year one he's going to be very much behind Michael 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:37.640 Pittman Jr. 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.120 Yeah, he'll be behind Pittman Junior. But the more difference 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.920 that I see here with them too is that Neighbors is, 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.160 like you said, a game breaker where he's just elusive 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.360 and he can score anywhere on the field one slang gone. 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.840 This is more like an Odell Beckham type that we're 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.120 really looking at, where he can change the game on 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.240 any time. So I think this will be an excellent 0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:01.040 weapon for Anthony Richardson. And now just elevate the conversation 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.480 and pounding on the table with Florio of like, Anthony 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.600 Richardson is a top five fantasy quarterback in twenty twenty four, 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.199 that's a lock. So if the Colts pulled this off. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:12.600 That he's the top five, a lock. 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.200 If you bring in Milik Neighbors, there's no way he 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.120 falls outside the top five. I'm confident I stand on that, 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:19.800 and I stand on business saying that. 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.480 Does he finish in the top five whereas he drafted 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:23.680 in the top five beause I feel like those are 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:24.640 two different conversations. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.439 Finish in the top five the rushing nobility, if he 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.600 stays healthy, this is going to be the biggest knock 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.240 on him. If there is no injury for Anthony Richardson, 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.439 he's already in top five conversation, if not top seven. 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.120 But if you add in a guy like Milik Oh, 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.000 I'm sorry, Milik Neighbors, that's going to be a total 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.480 change of dynamic of this offense. Where you have JT 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:46.240 as the running back, you have Hitman. You also have 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.880 Josh Down's work in that slot, who's actually stepping up 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:53.240 somewhat to be a valuable reliable target for Anthony Richon, 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.760 even Gardner Mischew last year. So I really feel as 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.960 though you bring in Milik Neighbors in that you have 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.240 a complete wide receiver set just like Man. There's no 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.680 way he could fail with this type of offset offense. 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.880 All right, So then that and you throwing Josh Downs 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.280 in there too, which I think is a good note 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:12.199 to add. Yeah, that feels I don't want to say 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.319 Jacksonville ish right, because last year we talked about the 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:15.040 Jaguars are like, I. 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:16.920 Don't know which Jaguars receiver I want, but I know 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:21.439 I want Trevor Lawrence. I mean that, I mean I 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:22.200 kind of went that way. 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.760 So I don't necessarily want to put that on Anthony Richardson, 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.920 but it does sort of suggest to me that we 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.280 can sort of count on Richardson, hopefully count on those 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.000 yards sort of all aggregating to him where we may 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.920 not be able to pick out another receiver consistently, maybe 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:43.640 beyond MPJ. Yeah, all right, all right, let's let's keep 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:44.880 on running down this thing, becase there are a few 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:48.200 other notable things that I saw in that draft. Brock 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.880 Bauers at ten to the Jets, potentially, that seems great. 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.480 The Jets have never had a Fantasy relevant tight end, 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:55.640 I don't think in my lifetime. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.160 Maybe maybe if I dig back far enough, I can 0:13:59.240 --> 0:13:59.920 kind of come up with. 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.679 It's so bad that Nikola's dad is a huge Jet fan. 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.439 He bought a CJ Usama jersey. 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:11.000 Oh lord, I think somebody once mentioned the name Dustin 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.080 Keller to me, like that was one that tried to 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.560 be a thing for a little bit. Whatever Rock Bauers 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.440 are the Jets. I think that'd be great. I think 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:24.120 that'd be awesome. Again, astrisk being Aaron Rodgers is healthy 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.040 and actually deciding to play football this year. 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:27.520 Who knows. 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.840 Yeh, that's a whole other conversation for a completely different 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:32.840 show anyway. 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.920 Some of the other notables though, Bo Nicks going to 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:42.320 the Vikings at number twenty three, I mean, it's not 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.760 jaj it's not jac. Sam Darnold's not a lock right 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.320 to be the starter. He is as of this moment 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.880 as we're recording the show, he is currently the starting 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:54.640 quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:57.080 I think Boon Knicks could challenge. 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.520 Now, I don't know if that means, like, I don't 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:04.520 know that I'm rafting bow Knicks and redraft leagues, but 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.960 I think he could challenge to be the starter. I 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.920 guess the question becomes, how do we feel about, say, 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:12.920 Jordan Addison in that situation. 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.880 Nasty uh. I'll take the first look on this. I'm 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.680 kind of fading Jordan Addison this year just based on 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.920 there's other wide receivers I would like in his area 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.400 of ADP right now Underdog. It's might have changed from 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.240 the last couple of weeks when I last checked, but 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:28.480 I just feel as though the quarterback play is going 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.960 to be huge, huge importance there with Sam Darnold as 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.320 a starter, and you draft the guy like bo Nicks, like, 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.160 I'm much rather JJ being I know he'll be able 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.160 to go down the field and kind of move the 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.840 chains and have that twitchiness to him that explained before 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.960 with JJ, But with bo Nicks there's a lot of, 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:45.960 you know, questions that we have here, is he going 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.600 to be able to get the ball downfield aggressive as 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.720 much as you know the Vikings would like being that 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.440 they have Jordan Adison, being that they have JJ, being 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.600 that they have TJ. Hockinson. I don't know that many 0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.440 people know that amazing stat that my fellow research Kendall 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.000 looked up. I mean, out of the three hundred and 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.680 sixty one completions, two hundred and thirty eight of them 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.400 were within five yards of the line of scrimmage, which 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.360 is about sixty five point nine percent in his passes. 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.560 So this is gonna be a lot of dump off 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:17.080 screens and etcetera, etcetera. So I'm not too sure that, Uh, 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:19.920 you know, bow Knicks would be the right choice here. 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:23.200 But for redraft, I'm not interested whatsoever. And Jordan Addison 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.680 or Bo Nicks or Sam Donald, that's fair. 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.440 I think bo Nicks. Look, he's he's not great, and 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.120 I think the screens and everything, it's it jumps out 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.400 on tape and it's why he is the most accurate 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.760 quarterback and all of that. Yeah, but I think I 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:43.720 think there's tools here, Like when he had to throw downfield, 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.080 he has a strong arm. Uh, he he can move 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.000 a little bit with his legs. So if he went 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.240 to a spot like I agree with Lakwan, like, I'm 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.600 not drafting bo Nicks in redraft or anything like that, right, 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.000 I wouldn't be surprised if Sam Donald starts Week one, 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.440 regardless of who their rookie quarterback is that they end 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.160 up taking and we see that a switch come like 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.840 pretty quickly. I don't love Jordan Addison at either. I 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.240 agree with all of that, But for just for bo 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:13.440 Nicks's standpoint, I think going to Minnesota with great weapons 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.040 with Koc who has proven to be a really good 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:20.600 offensive play caller and just offensive mine like, there's tools 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:24.000 there that in time they could potentially get the most 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.200 out of him. But for redraft rookie. 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:28.280 Year, Yeah, he's a waiver wire quarterback. 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:29.880 Yeah, yeah, for sure. 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.439 Next thing, Xavi, You're Worthy number twenty four to the 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:34.720 Dallas Cowboys. 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.800 Wow, that was my exact creation reactor. 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.240 But it feels like a Jerry Jones kind of move, right. 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:45.160 I mean, you get a guy with blazing speed who 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.320 played at the University of Texas. I mean the only 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.480 other thing that would be more Jerry would be to 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:51.240 spend like a second round pick. If he comes back 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.480 and gets like Jonathan Brooks right and makes him the 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:54.080 running back. 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.320 People would knock this Worthy pick. But I Worthy and 0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.600 the other wide receiver we're about to talk next are 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.680 They're in my top five head of wide receivers heading 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:03.560 into the draft. 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:05.600 Well, and I think the thing with Worthy that sort 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:09.560 of works in his favor. Worthy works more in this 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.240 current era of the NFL than he would have, say, 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.440 ten to fifteen years ago, right, because yeah, he is fast, 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.320 but he is he is small, right, I mean he's 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:22.880 a he's not a big man. And I think ten 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.080 fifteen years ago, you're making him a kick returner, right, 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.680 he's a punt and kick returner, and that's sort of it. 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.119 He gets on the field at wide receiver because you 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.520 have a whole bunch of injuries or anything like that. 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.639 This this era he worked Mark. You can find ways 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.960 to move him around, you can find ways that you 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:42.879 can put him in the slot, you can find things 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.080 to do with him to get him the ball and 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.960 just sort of let him work in space. This move 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.359 would sort of signal that the Cowboys are sort of 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:52.200 all in on Dak. Whether or not they are giving 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:55.880 him a contract, that's a different conversation. But they've decided 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:59.400 that this offense is fully built around Dak Prescott. They 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.520
