1
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, it is Wednesday, April twenty six, twenty twenty three.

2
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where we are

3
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: ready for draft season to be over. It's me and

4
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: your man, MG, Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Floyal

5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: back at Studios. We got specialists in the background. Always

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: appreciate being able to hang out and have even a

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: small live audience, mostly because we talk about random things

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: before we start the show.

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: Well it here, it is, man.

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: We have one more sleep until it is actually the

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. So all of this speculation, all of these rumors,

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: all of these hot takes can either find a home

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: or be roasted forever and ever. I'm glad we have

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: reached this point.

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: You know, the draft season always starts out with like, hey,

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: this makes sense, this is how the draft should go.

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: A team that needs a quarterback should take a quarterback.

19
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: And then the two weeks before the it's just like

20
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: everything like goes up in smoke and you hear all

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 3: these rumors and I don't believe anything that's getting said

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: right now.

23
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: No, at this point, we're pretty much just it's smoke

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: screen season.

25
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 2: Yess what this is right now?

26
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: So we are nearing the end of it, but twenty

27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: four hours from now we will, yeah, we'll pretty much

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen, at least in the first round.

29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: We will.

30
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: So along those lines, we will finish up our series

31
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: that we have been doing where we have been talking

32
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: about what we think should happen for each of these

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: teams in the draft, and we will wrap this up

34
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: with the AFC and the NFC West, after going obviously

35
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: through the East, North, and South the last few weeks.

36
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 1: But let's start with a little bit of news, because

37
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: we do have some news. First and foremost, our long

38
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: national football nightmare is over. The Green Bay Packers and

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: the New York Jets have a greed to a trade

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: for the four time most Valuable Player, Aaron Rodger. The

41
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: particulars of the deal, the Jets will get Rogers. They

42
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: will also get the number fifteen pick in the first

43
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: round and a fifth round pick in this year's draft,

44
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: which is number one seventy. In exchange, the Packers get

45
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: the Jets first round pick, which is number thirteen, so

46
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: basically they're moving up a couple of spots. They get

47
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty three second rounder, which is number forty

48
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: two and a sixth round pick number two hundred and seven,

49
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: and also a conditional twenty twenty four second round pick

50
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: that could become a first if Rogers plays at least

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: sixty five percent of the Jets snaps this year, and

52
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: that feels like, barring injury, pretty much like a certainty

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: that that's going to happen. So those are the particulars

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: of the deal. I'm just gonna say what I wrote

55
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: here in the rundown. We've talked about this trade for

56
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: so many weeks. Is there really anything left to add now?

57
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: I know I went on the network like six times

58
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: during free agency to break down the fantasy implications of

59
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: this trade.

60
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: You can go back. It's on my Twitter and all that.

61
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: Like I tweeted when this happened, I was like, cool,

62
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson is a wide receiver one, but we've been

63
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: drafting him as that for a whole month now in

64
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: best Ball, like Breze Hall, he's a winner, but we've

65
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 3: already talked about it and pushed Breeze Hall up. I

66
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: think the losers are obviously the weapons that are still

67
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: on the Packers.

68
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 2: This trade happened, right, and you.

69
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: Normally you'd see a player like Aaron Rodgers get traded

70
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: and you're like, oh my god, And it happened the

71
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: other day and I looked.

72
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: At my phone, I was like, Oh, it finally happened. Done.

73
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Like we've known about this for well over

74
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: a month pretty much.

75
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: That's that's kind of how it's felt. And you're right,

76
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson. I know he's a top ten wide receiver

77
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: and a lot of best ball drafts. I think Christian

78
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: Watson is somewhere around twenty four to twenty five. It's

79
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: been this way for a while because everybody has anticipated

80
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: this happening, so that part of it is not a surprise.

81
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't think there's really anything left to say that

82
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: we haven't said over the last few weeks. If you

83
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: want to know how we feel about to just dig

84
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: back through our podcast archives for the last month, and

85
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's some comment about it somewhere along the way.

86
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: One thing, though, that is maybe worth discussing, that has

87
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: changed a little bit. The Packers move up from fifteen

88
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: to thirteen in the first round of the draft. Not

89
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: a huge jump, but maybe it does change their calculus

90
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: a little bit. In the latest Bucky Brooks mock draft.

91
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: His mock draft four point zero. He has the Packers

92
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: taking tight end Dalton Kincaid, who, at least offensively, is

93
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: maybe the most ready to come in and produce. He's

94
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: not a guy who's going to be an inline blocker,

95
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: but he can run routes. He can catch the football

96
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: very very effectively. The Packers, I don't know I had

97
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: a tight end like this, eh, since it's been a

98
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: few years, right, I mean, you had a couple of

99
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: decent years with Robert Tunyan, but he was certainly not

100
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: on the same level. Maybe a Martellis Bennett somebody of

101
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: that ilk. I mean, does that make sense? Would you

102
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: get excited about Dalton kN playing with Jordan Love in

103
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay to an extent?

104
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 3: Like it's still a rookie tight end when they first

105
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: time starting quarterback, but it's another weapon there. And look,

106
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 3: if we could wish cast this, if I was the Packers,

107
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 3: I would be looking to add a pass catcher, whether

108
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 3: that is a tight end like a Kincaid. Maybe at

109
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: that pick they could still have their pick of the

110
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: litter at receivers as well. Not a lot of mocks

111
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: have a receiver going in the top ten. The Titans

112
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 3: are a wildcard there at eleven, but if a receiver

113
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: falls past them in the Texans, they could just be

114
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: getting their pick of whoever they want. I would be

115
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: adding pass catchers because something that we've seen a lot

116
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: of teams do is put young weapons around their quarterback

117
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 3: and let them kind of develop and grow together. It

118
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: makes life easier on the quarterback. I could also see

119
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: them taking an old line, potentially an alignment, because last

120
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 3: season that was an issue for them at times. I

121
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: know they have some needs on defense, but like you've

122
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: spent so much of your draft capital on this defense already,

123
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 3: Like put Jordan Love in a positions to succeed, give

124
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 3: him as much help as he possibly can get.

125
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's got to be the goal,

126
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: right building this offense around him. I know that was

127
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: a thing that Aaron Rodgers had wished for, wanting more

128
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: help at wide receiver, wanting more help on the offensive

129
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: side of the ball.

130
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 2: That never really came.

131
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: He overcame it because he's Aaron Rodgers, one of the

132
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: greatest quarterbacks we've ever seen. He was able to sort

133
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: of get through that. I don't have the same expectation

134
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: for Jordan Love at this part of his career. Maybe

135
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 1: one day he really does take that step forward, but

136
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: for now, I do think it would be who the

137
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: Packers to try to get him some additions to help out,

138
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: whether it's on the offensive line, whether it's at the

139
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: pass catcher position. But I do think they have to

140
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: focus offensively in this draft a little bit. Staying in

141
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: the NFC North sort of, I guess. The NFL has

142
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: suspended five players, including four Lions, including wide receiver Jamison Williams,

143
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: for violating the gambling policy. Now, a couple of those

144
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: guys did get quick test Siphis CJ. Moore and Shaka Tony,

145
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: who plays for the Commanders, are suspended indefinitely. They can

146
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: apply for reinstatement after the twenty twenty three season. For

147
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams and Stanley berry Hill, they received six game suspensions.

148
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: So we were again waiting on Jamison Williams. We waited

149
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: for him pretty much all of last year as he

150
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: was getting over a knee injury.

151
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: We saw him late in the season.

152
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: Now we're going to miss him for the first six

153
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: games of this season. So where are you comfortable now

154
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: drafting Jamison Williams knowing what we know.

155
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: This this one especially hurt because I had already said,

156
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: like on some shows I went on, I was like, anytime,

157
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: like a player, anytime people are like, who's your guy

158
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: this year or someone that the answer is gonna be

159
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 3: Jameison Williams, Like I had already been like, this guy's

160
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: gonna be amazing, and in some early best balls I did,

161
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: I took him in the fourth round, so I was

162
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 3: willing to pull him up the board to make sure

163
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: I got him. But now with no not having him

164
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: for the first six games of the season, my thinking

165
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: was something like ninth tenth round. Typically at that point

166
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: you kind of have all your starting wide receivers and

167
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: he could be then like your first bench receiver, because

168
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 3: my thinking is he's still gonna get you know, all

169
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: training camp and everything with the Lions, so he'll be

170
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: in a better position obviously in year two than he

171
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 3: was in year one. I just think he's so dynamic,

172
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: he's so talented, and he's on an offense that even

173
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: if the Lions improved their defense, they're gonna be the

174
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: focal point of that team. They're gonna have to score

175
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: a lot of points. And he is so explosive, So

176
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: I was thinking ninth, tenth round. I really hope, because

177
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: he's a hype guy, I really hope people don't pull

178
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 3: him up much higher than that, because then it's gonna

179
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: become harder to roster him because you're the whole first

180
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 3: month and a half he just sits on your bench.

181
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Right now, at last check, he's going around wide receiver

182
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: thirty to thirty two, depending on where you're looking for

183
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: best ball drafts. I'd imagine that's gonna come down a

184
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: little bit. Look, he is a hype guy, and I

185
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: think we were all excited to see what he could

186
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: be this year. And I still think that excitement is

187
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: going to be there. This isn't a physical issue for

188
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams. That's the thing. He's suspended. He's not gonna

189
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: be there for six weeks. But it's not like he's

190
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: dealing with a knee or an ankle or anything like that.

191
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: So that I think gives you some reason to still

192
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: sort of be optimistic about it. It's just how long

193
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: can you wait? Where are you going to get him

194
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: in drafts? And I think a lot of it is

195
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: going to be who's on the board sort of around

196
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: him at the time. But I do think you're looking

197
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: at you know, ninth round at the earliest right now,

198
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to think.

199
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: Of, you know, where I would go.

200
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can pull up a semi

201
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: recent adp here, because you know, Jamison Williams, you know,

202
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: would you take him over, say Traylon Burks, Gabe Davis, Kadarius,

203
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: Tony Jahan Dotson or any of those guys you would

204
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,119
Speaker 1: rather have ahead of Jamison Williams.

205
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: I can't quit Tony.

206
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: I think Williams belongs in that group though, because like

207
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: I'd rather have him over Traylon Burks, even with Burke's

208
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 3: playing the first six games over him. But that's like

209
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 3: a grouping of guys who are younger and not so

210
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 3: much proof, not as proven, but there's upside there, So

211
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I think that's a good grouping for

212
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: Jamison Williams to fall into, maybe even a little bit later,

213
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 3: because those guys are hell are active the first six weeks,

214
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 3: So I could see someone being like, all right, it's close,

215
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the.

216
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: Guy that I that I have available early on.

217
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: I do think, I do think it's gonna be a

218
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: big difference because right now we're sort of talking best

219
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: ball because that's what the ADPs generally are. I think

220
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: there will be a notable difference in best ball drafts

221
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: versus redraft leagues or anything like that, just because you

222
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: know you can sort of afford to wait on him

223
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: and not necessarily kill a roster spot if you can

224
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: handle it.

225
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: I have seen people be like a tourneys and missed

226
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: rookie year and then this, now it's a terrible start

227
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: to the career. Doesn't mean like this doesn't indicate he's

228
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 3: gonna be great or anything. And my point is like,

229
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: like you said, he's not hurt, he's also gonna be

230
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: with them all summer. He's gonna get to start practicing

231
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 3: like three weeks before he comes back. So my thinking

232
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 3: is like, hey, the most explosive receiver from last year's

233
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: draft class, now with fresh legs a year removed from

234
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: ACL like he could come back and immediately just go

235
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: on a run. So I'm willing to still take the

236
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: shot on him. And if those people who want to

237
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: put the negative stories out there, let them, let them

238
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 3: talk as loud as they want, because then.

239
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: It leads to his ADP falling I mean, look, he

240
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: is gonna be at worst the second option in that

241
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: passing game. I think i'man Ross Saint Brown's still your

242
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: number one option in the passing game. But Jamison Williams,

243
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: I think steps in and immediately becomes the number two.

244
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm still okay with it. You just

245
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: got to figure out kind of where you're willing to

246
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: draft him and how you're building your roster around him.

247
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: That's pretty much the news. Barring something weird happening. We

248
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: continue to record this show, but let's kind of get

249
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: into the AFC West here, and as always, we are

250
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: going in alphabetical order, so that starts us with the

251
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. They have five total picks in this draft,

252
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: none in round one. Of course, a lot of this

253
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: has to do with them trading for Russell Wilson also

254
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: bringing in Sean Payton that has depleted them of some picks.

255
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: They do have two picks though in round three. Now

256
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: their team needs per Eric Edholm on NFL dot Com,

257
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: a censor and edgreusher and a running back. Of course,

258
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: with no first round picks, sort of went and looked

259
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: through some mocks to see who some potential options are

260
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: a lot of folks have them going defense in the

261
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: third round. Kenu Benton from Wisconsin, DJ Turner a corner

262
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: from Michigan, and Julius Brents, a corner from Kansas State.

263
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: Some of the guys that you're seeing mocked to the

264
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. Look, there was talk about whether or not

265
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: they trade Courtland Sutton or Jerry Judy. It appears that

266
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: those rumors have been shot down. We're waiting to see

267
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: what the status of Javonte Williams is, how healthy potentially

268
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: he can be. All that said, does any of this

269
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: matter if Russ is actually washed and do you believe

270
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: he might be washed?

271
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 3: None of it matters if Russ is washed. And I look,

272
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 3: I don't have the faith in Russell Wilson like I

273
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 3: did the last few years, but I could see him

274
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 3: bouncing back again, maybe not to what he was with Seattle,

275
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 3: but last year was a pretty rough year. Like Nathaniel

276
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 3: Hackett just wasn't cutting in and we saw that from

277
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 3: week one, like literally his first game as a head coach,

278
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: people were like, were what was he doing with that

279
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: field goal situation and stuff? And then you know he

280
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 3: came out he was like oh, my system is a

281
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 3: tough one to learn, and it took Aaron Rodgers sometime

282
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: and blah blah blah blah blah. Russell Wilson played his

283
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 3: best football last year, very small sample size, but when

284
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: Nathaniel Hackett was not there, and then it's Sean Payton who.

285
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: Sean Payton got the most out of a Drew Brees

286
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: who realistically, I mean Drew Brees was a smart quarterback.

287
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: He was accurate, but talent wise that especially the later

288
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 3: years with the Saints, he was not nearly as good

289
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: as the stats indicated, but Sean Payton was able to

290
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 3: get the most out of him. So I do have

291
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: a lot of hope for Russell Wilson to kind of

292
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 3: salvage that for fantasy purposes, Like I think Russell Wilson

293
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: is a fine QB two to take, Like he's going

294
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: somewhere after the top fifteen right now, so they're still

295
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: upside there. But yeah, if Russell Wilson looks like Russell

296
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: Wilson did last season, none of this matters.

297
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing.

298
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: I am choosing to believe he's not washed, that there's

299
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: still something left there. And I do think that having

300
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: Sean Payton hopefully brings that out.

301
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

302
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't think he's the same guy who was leading

303
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks to the Super Bowl. I don't think he's

304
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: that player, but I don't think he's as bad as

305
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: what we saw last season. I also think Sean Payton

306
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: is going to rain him in and not let him

307
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: freelance quite so much and kind of stick to the

308
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: script and play within the system.

309
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: And I think that's going to help a little bit.

310
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: But I'm also with you in that I don't think

311
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: that makes him more than a QB two this year.

312
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: But if for whatever reason, Russ really is cooked, uh,

313
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's no more let Russ cook, it's is

314
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: Russ cooked. I yeah, I'm away from all these Like

315
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm out on Courtland Sutton, I'm out on Jerry Judy.

316
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: I think when it comes to Broncos, I will sort

317
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: of draft with caution, yeah, just in the event that

318
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: things go south again. I don't know that I want to,

319
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: you know, be heavy on Jerry Judy, you know, for instance,

320
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: on rosters and have to suffer through another year like

321
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: what we saw last year with or with with.

322
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 3: Denver, especially because, like Judy you're not going to get

323
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 3: any sort of discount on Sutton maybe, But like last year,

324
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: we were paying high prices for these guys and it

325
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: it was.

326
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: Rough for most.

327
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: Like I know Judy had the final like month or whatever,

328
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 3: but in as someone who had Judy like, there were

329
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 3: some really low points last season.

330
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: It really were. So hopefully it's better.

331
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: And I was very big on Courtland Setton last year

332
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: and that that did not work out at all for me.

333
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: Over to the Kansas City Chiefs, I guess I should

334
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: say you're defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. They

335
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: have ten total picks in this draft, one in the

336
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: first round, which is number thirty one. Their needs are

337
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, an offensive tackle, and an edge rusher,

338
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: and in the first round Daniel Jeremiah Bucky Brooks both

339
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: have Will McDonald the fourth the edge rusher from Iowa

340
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: State going to Kansas City, but lanceser Line, he pivots.

341
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: He gives them a wide receiver, Cedric Tillman from the

342
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee Volunteers. So I asked the question, do we trust

343
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: a wide receiver going to the Kansas City Chiefs. I

344
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: know we want one. We get all excited about it.

345
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: I remember how excited we got when they drafted Clyde

346
00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: Edward d Laire. But I asked the question because I

347
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: was going through Chiefs drafts, and I mean going a

348
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: ways back. Right, here's the list of wide receivers that

349
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: they have drafted over the last few years. Last year,

350
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: Skymore in the second. We're still kind of waiting to

351
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: see what that is. It's a twenty twenty one Cornell

352
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: Powell in the fifth. Let's see twenty nineteen. Mikole Hartman

353
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: was a second round pick who's no longer on the roster.

354
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, Tremon Smith in the sixth round. Jay

355
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: hu Chessen was a fourth round pick in twenty seventeen,

356
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson a fourth round pick in twenty sixteen. Tyreek

357
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: Hill in twenty sixteen is a fifth round pick. Right,

358
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: that one obviously worked out. I can keep going. I mean,

359
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: Chris Conley, Dron Brown, Let's see where else are we

360
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: going here, Devin Wiley, Junior, himning Away, Jonathan Bald I

361
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: mean this is going back to twenty eleven. Right, there's

362
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: one name in there where you're like, yeah, that one

363
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: worked out. The rest of them are not even met

364
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: So even if they draft Cedric Tillman, can we feel

365
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: confident that the Chiefs are gonna get this right? Because

366
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: this is over multiple coaching staffs and administrations. Do we

367
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: feel confident they can get this right?

368
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 3: Any receiver that they draft will get hyped just because

369
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 3: of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, and I do think they.

370
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: Could get it right.

371
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 3: A lot of those were were later picks, like oh,

372
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 3: fifth round, sixth round, and it's harder to hit there.

373
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 3: I mean, their early round picks didn't really hit either.

374
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: I mean we're still waiting on sky Moore, that's second

375
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 2: round picks. Is just like.

376
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 3: They're receiving like could you know I love Kadarius Tony,

377
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 3: but like Tony sky Moore, Richie James, I didn't know

378
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 3: they still had John Ross on their roster, even like

379
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 3: Justin Watson, like they're they don't have like a true

380
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 3: X receiver or something like that, which I think Cedric

381
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 3: Tillman is the most pro ready X receiver in this class,

382
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 3: so I think that would be a really good fit.

383
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 3: But maybe I've galaxy brained myself, Marcus. I have convinced

384
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: myself that the Chiefs are taking Jamiir Gibbs at thirty

385
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: one because they need a pass catcher and he is that.

386
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 3: Like he I think Jamior Gibbs is everything they wanted

387
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 3: Clyde Edwards Hilaire to be when they drafted him with

388
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: the last pick in the first round a few years ago.

389
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 3: And then look at like, how the last two years,

390
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 3: how big of a part of that offense Jack McKinnon

391
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 3: has been. They're able to get by with the receivers

392
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: that they get by with because of two players, Travis

393
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 3: Kelce and Jack McKinnon. Because McKinnon literally said, well this

394
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 3: was last season, but he set the record for consecutive

395
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: games with the receiving touchdown by a running back. And

396
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: let's not forget early in the year, Clyde Edwards Hilaire,

397
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 3: despite averaging like twenty yards a game, was a top

398
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: ten fantasy running back because of all the receiving touchdowns

399
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 3: he was getting. And then you add in Gibbs, who

400
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 3: is better than both of them, more explosive, such a

401
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 3: dynamic weapon. I think him and Isaiah Pacheco could be

402
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 3: like what Brandon Jacobs and Namad Bradshaw were with the

403
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 3: Giants all those years ago. Again, maybe I'm Galaxy branding myself,

404
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 3: but I think the Chiefs could look at this receiver

405
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 3: class and be like, we could get like the fifth

406
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: best receiver in this or we get the best weapon

407
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 3: possible for us here in Gibbs.

408
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: That's interesting and I hadn't really thought about that. I

409
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: have seen some some rumors that maybe Gibbs could be

410
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: drafted ahead of Bijon Robinson, basically because teams may prefer

411
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: a more Alvin Kamara's style back, which is sort of

412
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,239
Speaker 1: what Gibbs is. I mean, every Wipe Wer're gonna get

413
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: hyped jor Gibbs to the Chiefs. The hype's going to

414
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: be insane.

415
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 3: If that he would be a top three round fantasy pick,

416
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 3: I think probably.

417
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we're talking about Bijon being maybe a

418
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: first round pick right now without even knowing where he's going.

419
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: Gibbs to Kansas City, Yeah, I could see him in

420
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: round three coming off the board.

421
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 3: We're gonna see so much outrage if Bijon goes to

422
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 3: like the Patriots or the Cowboys or the Chargers, Like

423
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 3: people are just gonna be like, I've drafted him over

424
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 3: there starter already.

425
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: If he goes to the Cowboys.

426
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: People will jump out of windows because I mean, other

427
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: people have Bijon and they love Tony Pollard and to

428
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: see the two of them have to basically eat off

429
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: the same plate would would make people insane.

430
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 3: But if he ends up in Philly, his ADP might

431
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: go up, which is insane because he's the RB four ring.

432
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: Let's just say, if he's in Philly, does that is

433
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: he a top four pick in redraft leagues?

434
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: With Austin Eckler's future being so up in the air. Yeah,

435
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 3: I think the only running back that I would say

436
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 3: confidently goes ahead of him would be Christian McCaffrey.

437
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: Wow, that's crazy. I mean, look, I would probably reach.

438
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: For it, but that's crazy crazy to think about there.

439
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: So so we'll see whether the Chiefs actually go offense

440
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: in the first round or what they do, and if

441
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: they do draft a wide receiver. Yeah, the hip rate

442
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: has not been great for them. Now see if maybe

443
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: they can can kind of pick something up in this draft.

444
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: The Raiders, they have twelve total picks, one in the

445
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: first round, that is number seven overall. They need a corner,

446
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: offensive line, and defensive line. See we've got a couple

447
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: of defensive mocks there, Daniel jeremiahs they're going Tyree Wilson,

448
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: edge rusher from Texas Tech. Bucky Brooks has them taking

449
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: Devin Witherspoon, the corner from Illinois. Now Lance Zerline, who

450
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: we love. Lance Adham on the show last week he

451
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: projects a trade with Houston Texans. So he's got the

452
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: Raiders moving back to number twelve and taking offensive tackle

453
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: Darnell Right from Tennessee. Meanwhile, he has the Texans taking

454
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: Will Levis at seven. A lot of people have them

455
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: taking will Levis at two. So one way or another,

456
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: defeers Will Levis might be in Houston. That's a whole

457
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: other conversation. But the Raiders, they trade Darren Waller away

458
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: to the New York Giants this offseason. Derek Carr is

459
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: now in New Orleans. Jimmy Garoppolo is the quarterback. How

460
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: many Raiders are you interested in drafting not named Davante

461
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: Adams or Josh Jacobs.

462
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 3: Zero, Like, I mean, look, there's a right place for

463
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 3: all of them, But like I'm someone who in the

464
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 3: middle to late rounds likes to go for upside and

465
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 3: not like just say, oh, you could give me a

466
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 3: safe ten or eleven points, and that's what like Jacoby

467
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 3: Myers is, that's what Hunter Renfro is. That maybe is

468
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 3: what Austin Hooper or O. J.

469
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 2: Howard could be.

470
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I don't really feel the upside

471
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 3: is really worth taking them. I'd rather go take bigger

472
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 3: swings elsewhere. That being said, like Josh Jacobs, I'm totally

473
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 3: on board with. I think they might run him into

474
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 3: the ground. Jimmy G is gonna check the ball to

475
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 3: him plenty. DeVante Adams scares me because you're not getting

476
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 3: a discount at all on Adams, and he has always

477
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 3: been someone who wins downfield and not so much after

478
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 3: the catch, whereas Jimmy G is a quarterback who relies

479
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: on these receivers winning after the catch and not so

480
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: much of a downfield thrower. So one of their style

481
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: of plays is gonna have to change. If I'm guessing,

482
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it's probably gonna be DeVante Adams having

483
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 3: to do more of what Jimmy G can do. Look,

484
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: he's still a top five wide receiver. He's still DeVante Adams,

485
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 3: but at cost it makes me nervous.

486
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can understand that. I still am sort of

487
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: in just because we've seen Adams be able to win

488
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: in so many different scenarios that I feel pretty confident.

489
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: And also part of it is just going to be volume,

490
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: just because when you look at the rest of their

491
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: past catchers, where are they going with the ball? I

492
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: mean you mentioned Austin Hooper and oj Howard. I mean

493
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: they're not really going to command a ton of targets

494
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: and the rest of that wide receiver corps what Keelan Cole.

495
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Jacoby Myers is there, Hunter Renfro, but I

496
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: don't know that any of them are going to command

497
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: the same share of targets that Devontae Adams, and so

498
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: I think that sort of keeps him afloat. But I

499
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: am worried though about where else you go here. I mean,

500
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: I guess you could sort of take some mid to

501
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: late round shots out of Jacoby Myers. You can take

502
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: a late round shot I guess at Hunter Renfro. But

503
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: there's not a lot here that I feel really excited about,

504
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: outside of say a Best Ball draft, where you hope

505
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: that they they just kind of pop on a given week.

506
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

507
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look, maybe maybe Hunter Renfro works with Jimmy Garoppolo.

508
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: But there's not a lot that I'm super fired up

509
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: about here. Patriots twist kind of is I mean Josh McDaniels.

510
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: McDaniels is putting together out there. He brought a lot

511
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: of guys in that he was familiar with. We'll see

512
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: how that works out. You don't have Tom Brady kind

513
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: of holding this whole thing together. Last one in the

514
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: AFC West, the Los Angeles Chargers have seven total picks,

515
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: one in the first round. It's number twenty one. They

516
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: need a wide receiver, a defensive line at a tight end.

517
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: DJ has them going Zay Flowers from Boston College, Bucky

518
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: Brooks has them taking tight in Michael Mayer out a

519
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: Notre Dame, and Lance Zerlin has them taking wide receiver

520
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Hyatt from Tennessee. So all three of our analysts

521
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: have them going on the offensive side of the ball.

522
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: They need a wide receiver.

523
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: They need speed, which is why a guy like Jalen

524
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: Hyatt could be a nice addition for this team. But

525
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: considering they already have Keenan Allen, they still have Mike Williams,

526
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: They've got Austin Eckler. Uh would a wide receiver ceiling

527
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: be capped at least in the first year if they

528
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: landed in Los Angeles.

529
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I think the wide receiver, especially like a Flowers

530
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 3: or a Hyatt, because it's something we talked about last year.

531
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: They need speed on the on the outside, like, uh,

532
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 3: they Mike Williams can win downfield, but he's not a separator,

533
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 3: he's not a burner. He's someone who's gonna win that

534
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 3: contested catch at fifty to fifty type ball. So they

535
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 3: need someone who could kind of stretch the field take

536
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 3: attention away from the safeties. But for fantasy, yeah, Keenan

537
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 3: Allen is still gonna get a bunch of targets. Mike

538
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 3: Williams is still going to get a bunch of targets.

539
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 3: Austin Eckler, if he is there, is gonna get a

540
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 3: bunch of targets. It would be a better real life

541
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 3: fit than fantasy. And it would be a situation where

542
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 3: like if one of the receivers ahead of the rookie

543
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 3: got hurt, then it's like all systems go, because Justin

544
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 3: Herbert's really good. But uh, like a Hyatt or Flowers

545
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 3: in the Chargers would be a player that I'd much

546
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 3: more be interested. It's like a late round best ball

547
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: because if they can hit that home run play with

548
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert, but in redraft, good luck figuring out when

549
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 3: that's gonna happen, Dassie.

550
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

551
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: On a week to week it's gonna be really hard

552
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: to kind of figure them out. Because you're right, it's

553
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: a good football move. It adds something that the Chargers

554
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: really need. But it's gonna be hard to kind of

555
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: figure out weekly whether or not that player is going

556
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: to get targets consistently enough to be a regular playmaker

557
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: for you. A side note to this, I mean, you

558
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: know there is the Austin Eckler thing sort of still

559
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: hanging over here that you know he had requested the

560
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: ability to seek a trade. I don't think that's going

561
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: to happen, but obviously it's a situation where I think

562
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: Eckler wants to move on or at least wants a

563
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: better situation. Would you be surprised if they draft are

564
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: running back at all this year?

565
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:49,479
Speaker 2: No?

566
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 3: No, They basically draft one every year, like searching for

567
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: a number two behind Eckler. I would be surprised if

568
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 3: they were in on like Bijon or Gibbs or the

569
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 3: you know, someone in like the first two rounds. But

570
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 3: if they take someone in like round three or later,

571
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, this is what the Chargers do.

572
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean you and I were talking to Matt Muney

573
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: Smith not that long ago, who was the radio voice

574
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: of the Chargers and sort of asking him about it,

575
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: and I suggested to him that maybe they got and

576
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: they take a guy like Zach Charboneau on Day two

577
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: from UCLA and just kind of use him as the

578
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: air apparent. I mean, look, Money didn't know, but he

579
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: said it wouldn't be surprising maybe to see something like that,

580
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: that this could be Eckler's potentially last year in a

581
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: Charger uniform, depending on sort of what happens. So whoever

582
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: gets drafted, if they draft a running back, that player

583
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: could be sort of the next guy to step in

584
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: and maybe take over that spot.

585
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 2: If Austin Eckler does actually leave Alaye, that gets us

586
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: through the AFC West, it's like a break come back

587
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: and we'll go.

588
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: To the NFC West as we get a little bit

589
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: closer to Draft egg Here on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast,

590
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: NFC West will start off with the Arizona Cardinals eight

591
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: total picks, one of the first round at his number

592
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: three overall. After what was a pretty disastrous season for

593
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. They finished four and thirteen. Kyler Murray suffered

594
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: a knee injury. Later in the year, Cliff Kingsbury ran

595
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: off to Thailand to go hide.

596
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 2: Now ever, come back.

597
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, in fact, he came back and is now an

598
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: assistant at usc which time is a flat circle because

599
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: the Trojans actually had hired him to be their offensive

600
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: coordinator a few years ago. He spent I think all

601
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: of two weeks on campus and then got hired by

602
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and now he comes back to be an

603
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: assistant and work. I guess with Caleb Williams. Is he

604
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,239
Speaker 1: ThEC or No, No, he's like a consultant, like an

605
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: offensive consultant or something like.

606
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 3: So, in the grand scheme of things, being an NFL

607
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 3: head coach actually led to him getting demoted to take

608
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 3: a step.

609
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: Back when he went to college.

610
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: But I guess he can put on his resume potentially

611
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: that he worked with Caleb Williams, especially if Caleb ends

612
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: up being the number one pick, he can say that, yeah,

613
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: I helped work with.

614
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 3: Oh, Cliffs one hundred percent going to try to get

615
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 3: the head coaching gig wherever. Whoever gets the number one

616
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 3: pick next year.

617
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that makes sense, right, So whoever gets some

618
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: more pick if they fire their coach, Clip's gonna be like,

619
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, I worked at that guy.

620
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: So we'll see.

621
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: But the Cardinals need a defensive lineman, a corner, and

622
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: offensive line the first round Mox amongst our top analysts

623
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: are unanimous. DJ, Bucky, and Lance all have them taking

624
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: Will Anderson Junior, the edge rusher from Alabama. Meanwhile, offensively,

625
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: the drum beats of DeAndre Hopkins getting traded or.

626
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: Getting louder and louder.

627
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: I know Baltimore has been a very popular destination for him.

628
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray still gonna be dealing with that knee injury,

629
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: and it's very unlikely that he's going to be ready

630
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: for Week one. In fact, it may be a little

631
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: ways into the season before we see him again. They

632
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: do have Marquise Brown there, they do have some pieces there,

633
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: But how much does it hurt this girl for pass

634
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: catchers did not have Kyler Murray at the start of

635
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: the year.

636
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if we could even like quantify it

637
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 3: enough when when he got hurt last year. Look, I

638
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 3: understand the Cardinals in a real life NFL level weren't

639
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 3: like a great team or anything like that, but for

640
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 3: fantasy this was one of the best teams because Kyler

641
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 3: Murray was a top quarterback option. DeAndre Hopkins came back

642
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 3: and was putting up like twenty points. Not only was

643
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 3: he putting up great fantasy production, his volume was off

644
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 3: the charts. And then Marquise Brown was double figures every

645
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 3: single game, and then Kyler Murray goes down and it

646
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 3: took like three games for him combined to get to

647
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 3: double figures again. It was so bad down the stretch

648
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 3: watching this offense, and we're watching their backup quarterbacks, Colt McCoy,

649
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 3: Jeff driscoll, David Blau. It's like a who's who of Like,

650
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 3: who's not gonna help these receivers play any better? And

651
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 3: especially someone like Mark Ease Brown who relies on the

652
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: deep ball more than then, you know, like a normal would. I,

653
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 3: as of now, I have no interest in drafting any Cardinals,

654
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 3: especially because I do think d hop gets traded.

655
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: I tweeted yesterday, I was.

656
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: Like, remember when Marquis Brown got traded on draft nights

657
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 3: and we were all shocked. But then he showed up

658
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 3: at the draft party, so they clearly had this in

659
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 3: the works for at least days, maybe weeks. I'm not

660
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be shocked if d Hop gets traded tomorrow

661
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 3: night and it's like, oh, yeah, we've known about this

662
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 3: for weeks.

663
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 2: We just kept it under wraps.

664
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean probably I know that. You know, Lamar Jackson

665
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: obviously didn't know about it because he had some unhappy

666
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: tweets after that trade wasn't down, so he obviously didn't

667
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: know about it, or somehow they convinced him to like

668
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: keep it quiet.

669
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: But I don't really believe that. Yeah, it's it's scary.

670
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: I mean, part of last year too was that we

671
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: never got to see this offense fully operational, right because

672
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: you had nukes suspended for the start of the year.

673
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: He comes back, you know, Marcus Brown gets hurt, zach

674
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: Ertz gets hurt at different points, James Connorman is a

675
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: few games, and Kyler Murray gets hurt. We never got

676
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: to see this whole group together all at the same time,

677
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: and so I think we're still sort of wanting to

678
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: know what everybody can do. But look, I think Brown

679
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: is still draftable. I think Ertz is still draftable, but

680
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot lower than it would

681
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: have been otherwise, especially until we get I guess, some

682
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: more definition on when Murray could be back, but it

683
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: there's a good chance you're gonna see a good chunk

684
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,959
Speaker 1: of the season without Kyler Murray there in Arizona.

685
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: That's gonna hurt.

686
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 3: Everybody, especially because if they lose early on what incentive

687
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 3: do you have to rush to bring him back?

688
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: Like, well, you'll want the draft pick.

689
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: You're in a division where, at least on paper, the

690
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: forty nine ers still appear to be the top team

691
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: in that division. I expect the Rams are going to

692
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: be better next year. Overall, the Seahawks are very competitive.

693
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you come out of the gate really slowly,

694
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: there really is less incentive to rush Kyler back. For

695
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: who and the words of Ricky Waters for who what.

696
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: I do agree.

697
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 3: I think Zach Ertz, like he said, I think he's

698
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 3: the biggest fantasy appeal because his skill set has won

699
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 3: that a backup quarterback, Like just all you gotta do

700
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 3: is short dump offs to him and you know, help

701
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 3: him move the chains a little bit, where's Marquis Brown?

702
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 3: Is someone who you need to win downfield? More that

703
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 3: that to me scares me.

704
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that's going to be one that that's gonna

705
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: be tough. I guess we will watch and see who

706
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: exactly takes that starting job in Arizona. I guess Colt

707
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: McCoy is the favorite. Right now, that's man, all right,

708
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: we'll see Over to the La Rams.

709
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 2: Eleven total picks.

710
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: The Rams notoriously never have a first round pick, and

711
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: this is also the same. Their first pick is number

712
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: thirty six overall. In round two. Need an edge rusher,

713
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 1: a corner, and a defensive lineman. Some of the options

714
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: being mocked there all defensive or most of them defensive.

715
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 2: Clark Phillips the corner from.

716
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: Utah, John Michael Schmidts a center from Minnesota, and bj

717
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: Ojalai edge rusher from LSU.

718
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 2: Simple question.

719
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: Their offense was bad last year, especially once Cooper Cup

720
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 1: went down.

721
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 2: Will it be better this year? How could it not be?

722
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 3: Like last year was so bad that Rams games were

723
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 3: almost unwatchable because like literally and for fantasy, we were

724
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 3: like start cam Akers and that's it. And I think

725
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 3: like cam Akers looked really well down really good down

726
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 3: the stretch last year. He's someone I can see myself

727
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 3: getting excited for Cooper Cup. As good as Cooper Cup is,

728
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 3: I feel like he continues to get overlooked. Like if

729
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup is fully healthy and Matthew Stafford is fully healthy,

730
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup should be in the discussion to be the

731
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: number one overall pick in my opinion, and you don't

732
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 3: hear a single.

733
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 2: Peep about that.

734
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 3: Like as good as Justin Jefferson was last year, you

735
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 3: know who was better when he was healthy, Cooper Cup.

736
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 3: You know who had the best season since Jerry Rice

737
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 3: the year before that, Cooper Cup. Like the last year

738
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 3: and a half, Cooper Cup. He has been the best

739
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 3: player in fantasy football, especially receiver, hands down. And yet

740
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 3: we're like, yeah, we'll put him in the borderline top five.

741
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 3: Maybe you know, he's gotta like give this guy his flowers.

742
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 3: He is amazing. I think he's amazing too, you know.

743
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: And what was even more amazing, Let's how many times

744
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 3: can we say amazing here in this section of the show,

745
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 3: is that there were points, especially earlier in the year,

746
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: when you knew that's all the Rams had, you knew

747
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 3: that's where the ball was going and somehow he was

748
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 3: still putting up one hundred yards and scoring a touchdown

749
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 3: every single game. That is sort of mind blowing you

750
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 3: right now. I think he's coming as the wide receiver

751
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 3: three and a lot of best ball drafts behind Justin

752
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: Jefferson and Jamar Chase. I would say the only real

753
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 3: concern for me is how healthy is Matthew Stafford really?

754
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 2: Now?

755
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: He says he's ready to go. I know at one

756
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: point there was talked of maybe he was going to

757
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 1: retire because the injuries had been so bad, but he's

758
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: downplayed that. Sean McVay has sort of kind of poop

759
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: pooed that idea as well. But I do think there's

760
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: some concern, right because you're talking about an older quarterback

761
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: who throughout his career has taken a little bit of

762
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: a beating. The Rams offensive line was not particularly good

763
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: last year, so I do think there's some some worry.

764
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: But a healthy Cooper Cup is still easily a top

765
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: five wide receiver, especially because I don't know who's the

766
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: number two option in the passing game there now.

767
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 2: Man, your boy Van Jefferson, I can be a Van

768
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 2: stand again. I don't know.

769
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 3: I want to ask you, does this give you any confidence?

770
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 3: Or is this just like a head scratching What are

771
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 3: they doing? Move Matthew Stafford, at least listed wise, is

772
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 3: the only quarterback on the roster. That's very much what

773
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 3: are you doing?

774
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: Yeah?

775
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 3: I understand you believe he's gonna be healthy, but even

776
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 3: you need a fallback, you got it.

777
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: Look, man, go go ask Kyle Shanahan about that. Right

778
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: in the forty nine ers. I don't care. I don't

779
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: even care if Matthew Stafford had never had injury issues

780
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: in his life. The job of NFL quarterback is hazardous

781
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: to your health. You gotta have something so I you know,

782
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm serious. I'm curious what the rams do you know

783
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: at at the position. I wouldn't be surprised if you

784
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: see them draft somebody a little bit later. But you know,

785
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: maybe they go and see who's on the on the

786
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: free agent market once we get past the draft, and

787
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: they go add somebody because yeah, oh no, I took that. Well, see, well,

788
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: Bryce Perkins actually is a free agent, and uh is

789
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: John Wolford a free agent? I don't know, but it's

790
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: it's not great.

791
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 3: I mean, you benched those guys through Baker Mayfield last year,

792
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 3: Like good point, Sam Donald for four million looks better

793
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 3: and better by the day that you know what, I

794
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 3: still don't think that was a bad signing.

795
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 1: I think I think, you know, Kyle Shanahan can can

796
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: sort of shine this up and at least if if

797
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: it came to it, make him passable for a few weeks.

798
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm completely gone, But like I'm galaxy braining it

799
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 3: to be, like you know, like Brock Purdy, I keep saying,

800
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 3: like imagine with Trey Lance, if he gets a fair chance,

801
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 3: I wouldn't not be surprised if Sam Donald would be

802
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 3: the best. Like the pedigree is still there, the the

803
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 3: ability is still there.

804
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: The situations he's been in in the past haven't been great,

805
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: although I will say that you know, Carolina I thought

806
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: would be a good shot for him, and that that

807
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: wasn't particularly good. But uh, San Francisco would give him

808
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 1: his best supporting cast that he's had in his career

809
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: and a really good coach basically drawing up plays for him.

810
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: So who knows.

811
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if Brock Perty's not ready, there will be

812
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: a legitimate competition between Donald.

813
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 3: Usc legend goes on to become the forty nine ers

814
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 3: starting quarterback.

815
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: This is just made for you. Uh, you know what

816
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 2: this You know what I'd have to get like a

817
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: half nine or half.

818
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 1: Trojan like Sam Donald Jersey or something like that. If

819
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: the colors work, if they are very similar. It worked

820
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: very well. Speaking of which, let's get to the forty

821
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: nine ers here eleven total picks, none in the first

822
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: two rounds. They do have three picks in round three.

823
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: In fact, I think it's like ninety nine, one oh

824
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: one and one oh two. So basically there's going to

825
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: be like a forty nine er section of the third

826
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: round offensive line.

827
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 2: In a corner they need an edge rusher.

828
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: Some of the options Blake Freeland the tackle from BYU,

829
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: Zach Harrison and edge from Ohio State, Jayden Reid, a

830
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver from Michigan State, and Tyler Scott, a receiver

831
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: from Cincinnati. We love Deebo, we love George Kittle, we

832
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 1: love Brandon Ayuk. How much do things change in this offense?

833
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 2: Though? If it's not Rock Purdy under center in week one.

834
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 3: You're asking the wrong person, because, like I just said,

835
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 3: I continue to be like Brock.

836
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 2: Perdy played really really well.

837
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 3: It was seven or eight games like we've seen quarterbacks

838
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 3: going runs before. I think the fact that he won

839
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 3: is in the system that's easiest for a quarterback to

840
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 3: operate in, with probably the best supporting cast, and had

841
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 3: a top two or three defense last year, probably made

842
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: his run a lot better than I don't want to

843
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 3: take anything away from Perdy, but I continue to be

844
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 3: like Trey Land. He's had one start and it came

845
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 3: in a monsoon, and then he threw three passes and

846
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 3: got hurt.

847
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 2: Again.

848
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 3: Don't want to take it away from Purdy, but I

849
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 3: don't think he should just be handed the starting job.

850
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 3: I would like to see a camp battle between all

851
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 3: three of these quarterbacks. So for me, I think if

852
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 3: you ask other people, they might be like, no, the

853
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 3: offense takes a hit wayout Brock Perdy. But for me,

854
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 3: I'm kind of like, let's let's give each of these

855
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 3: three quarterbacks.

856
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 2: A fair chance.

857
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: We really don't know about Trey Lance. He very much

858
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: gets an incomplete right this very college class. It's an

859
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: incomplete because we haven't seen all that much of him.

860
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: I know that rookie year when he did get a

861
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: chance to start, you know, the passing ability looked like

862
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: it needed some work. It looked raw, but again it

863
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: was a small sample size. And then you mentioned last

864
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: year right week one, hard to really evaluate when you

865
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: have weather conditions and field conditions as bad as that,

866
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,720
Speaker 1: and then you're right that second game he gets hurt

867
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: very early on. So we still really don't know. As

868
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: for a quarterback competition, I mean, John Lynch has essentially

869
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: said that this is Brock Purdy's job when he's healthy,

870
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: that you know, he's done enough what he did last

871
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: year that if he's ready to go, he's going to

872
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: be the starter. And if there is a competition, it's

873
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: going to be between Trey Lance and Sam Darnold.

874
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,439
Speaker 2: If Brock Purty isn't ready to go.

875
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, we may go until August before we

876
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: get any real clarity on this, which is going to

877
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: sort of make it hard to draft. You're going to

878
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: have to sort of, you know, kind of plant your

879
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: flag if you're drafting forty nine ers and decide where

880
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: you want to go. I know that there are people

881
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: who are still very much believing that Trey Lance is

882
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: going to get a shot at this job, that Purty's

883
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: not going to be ready. I think, I think for

884
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: the Niners, part. There haven't been particularly forthcoming in what

885
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: the status is going to be. I am going into

886
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: this believing that brock Purty's going to be ready for

887
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: week one, in which case I'm fine drafting you know,

888
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: Samuel and Kittle and Duke pretty much at cost. But

889
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 1: if we get something that says, hey, it's going to

890
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: be Trey Lance week one, I am knotting him down

891
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: just a couple of rounds at least, just because you know,

892
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: maybe he's not bad, but we just don't know, and

893
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: that uncertainty is enough for me to feel a little

894
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 1: bit more hesitant about those guys.

895
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 3: I do think it's if you're interested more in just

896
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 3: like the pass catchers for fantasy, I think you should

897
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 3: be rooting for brock Purty. I do think that Lance

898
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 3: would run a little bit more and make the running

899
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 3: game more dynamic. His upside is higher than Purdy's in

900
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 3: a fantasy regard because of that rushing ability. But I

901
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 3: think Purdy is more the quarterback that like, instead of

902
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 3: looking to take off or scramble to extend the play,

903
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 3: he's just gonna boom boom boom hit it to his guys.

904
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 3: So I think if you want a Debo or CMC

905
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 3: or someone like that. Then you're you should be.

906
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 2: Rooting for Brock Purty Rock Purty QB two.

907
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would not draft him as a top twelve quarterback,

908
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 3: but I think right after that he's right in the mix.

909
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I think that's that's fair. Last one, it's

910
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks ten total picks two.

911
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 2: In round one.

912
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: They have a number five, which they got from the

913
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos as part of the Russell Wilson deal, and

914
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: number twenty.

915
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 2: Overall.

916
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: They need defensive line, they need a wide receiver, they

917
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: need offensive line.

918
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 2: So here are the mocks.

919
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah's got him going Jalen Carter, defensive tackle from

920
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,760
Speaker 1: Georgia and Jordan Addison, the wide receiver from USC Bucky

921
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: Brooks as a couple of defensive players, Christian Gonzalez the

922
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: corner from Oregon, Nolan Smith the edge rusher from Georgia,

923
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: and Lanzer Line has him going Jalen Carter from Georgia

924
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 1: and Miles Murphy the edge rusher from Clemson. Last year's

925
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: Seahawks offense was very much a surprise. We went into

926
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: training camp thinking it was going to be Drew Locke

927
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: as the starter. Then he was surpassed by Gino Smith,

928
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: who ended up having a fantastic season and made Tyler

929
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: Lockett and DK Metcalf viable. Did they catch lightning in

930
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: a bos or is there something there? How do we

931
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: feel about the Seahawks offense this year?

932
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 2: I feel pretty good about it.

933
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if Gino Smith will be able to

934
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 3: replicate everything he did last year, Like I don't think

935
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 3: he's gonna lead the league in multiple passing touchdown games,

936
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 3: but I do think he could be very, very serviceable

937
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 3: in the sense that like DK and Lockett are gonna

938
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 3: get theirs and that's all I care about. And that's

939
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 3: why I like this offense because it's so funneled the

940
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 3: passing game. It's DK or Lockett and their secondary guys

941
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 3: are exactly that, Like they're just there to get a

942
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,399
Speaker 3: handful of targets and kind of take some attention away

943
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 3: from the top two. Kenneth Walker should be in RB

944
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 3: one in fantasy drafts, potentially going in the first round.

945
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 3: This is an offense that is pretty straightforward, and that

946
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 3: is the best kind of offense for fantasy football.

947
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: I agree, as long as it's still just the DK

948
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: and Lockett Show, then I think we're gonna be fine. Yeah,

949
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm curious if they were to say, drafted Jordan Addison

950
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: or add a wide receiver, how that player integrates into

951
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 1: an offense that again for years, And this is even

952
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: before Gino, even when it was Russ was pretty much

953
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 1: just two guys. So I don't know if there's room

954
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: for a third. I don't know if Gino Smith can

955
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: support a third wide receiver. But I do think what

956
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: we see this year looks a lot like what we

957
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 1: saw last year in this offense. Also sort of weird.

958
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean, as we said here, we talked about the Seahawks,

959
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: we talked about the forty nine ers. You know, we've

960
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 1: talked about you know, the Saints in the past with

961
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, the Raiders, now with Jamig Garoppolo. It seems

962
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: like there's a whole lot of QB twos guys that

963
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: we wouldn't draft or want as quarterbacks, but we do

964
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: want the pieces around them, which I don't know what

965
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: that means, but it just seems like a weird.

966
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 2: Trend to me.

967
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 3: It means you want to get one of these top

968
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 3: eight quarterbacks. Tough however, many you feel good about because

969
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,280
Speaker 3: there's a drop off after that, and there's a lot

970
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 3: of Daniel Jones, Gino Smith, brock Perdy, a lot of

971
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 3: guys who were like they were perfectly fine, if not

972
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 3: even better than that last year, but can they do

973
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 3: it again? So that's why I'm gonna be paying up

974
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 3: for quarterbacks. But on Seattle, a lot of people are

975
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 3: saying they need a receiver because Tyler, Tyler Lockett's thirty

976
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 3: DK is locked up, Like Pete Carroll is seventy one

977
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 3: years old, Gino.

978
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 2: Smith is in his thirties, and there's no.

979
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,919
Speaker 3: Get like go I if I was Seattle, I'm saying,

980
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 3: let's go all in. Let's get two defensive players, someone

981
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 3: in the secondary to kind of try to rebuild what

982
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 3: the legion of Boom used to be, and go all

983
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 3: in because how many, realistically, how many more Pete Carroll seasons.

984
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 2: Do we have? Right?

985
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean I think at this point, I don't know

986
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: that you know, if you're if you're Pete Carroll, you're

987
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 1: not really trying to be part of a rebuild.

988
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not trying to get the receiver to take

989
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 3: over for Tyler Lockett two years from now.

990
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: No, you want you. You gotta make this. You gotta

991
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: make a run with what you have, because you're right there.

992
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's too many more seasons, and

993
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: there's definitely not too many more seasons sort of with

994
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: this group as is. At some point they're gonna have

995
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: to kind of turn it down or tear it down

996
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 1: and rebuild this all over again. All right, So it's it.

997
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: We are we fully prepared for the draft? Are we ready?

998
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean we better be. We've been doing this for months.

999
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: I guess never really matter because it's coming, whether or

1000
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: not we are ready, but should be a lot of fun.

1001
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: Just a heads up, we will do a kind of

1002
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,399
Speaker 1: a I won't say any emergency podcast, but a day

1003
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 1: one recap podcast. We will record that on Thursday night

1004
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: and hopefully that will be in your feeds either late

1005
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night or early Friday morning, so be on the

1006
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: lookout for that, and then we will be back next

1007
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: week to recap the entirety of the draft.

1008
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 2: And I think I'm at liberty to say this.

1009
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 1: I believe that the NFL Fantasy Live Draft fallout show

1010
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: is scheduled for May twelfth, so a couple of weeks

1011
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 1: from Friday Central DVRs CENTR DVRs if people still use

1012
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 1: DVRs anymore. I still have one at home, but I'm

1013
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: kind of an old so I don't know if that

1014
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: applies to everybody.

1015
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,959
Speaker 3: I mean, I have YouTube TV, new sponsor of the NFL. Yeah,

1016
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 3: and they have unlimited d true, which is pretty nice.

1017
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 2: I know I want to go to YouTube TV.

1018
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: That's a whole discussion in my house, but like, yeah,

1019
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: some people like having cable boxes.

1020
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 2: Whatever.

1021
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: Uh anyway, get ready the draft is coming. We can

1022
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: finally put all of this speculation in the rear view

1023
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: mirror and we can kind of talk about what is

1024
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: I start to kind of figure out some rookie rankings

1025
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: as well. So getting forward, look forward, get ready, look

1026
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: forward to all of that coming. Really really assume that

1027
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: feels like a good place to put this one down.

1028
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,240
Speaker 1: That'll do it for this edition of the NFL Fantasy

1029
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: Football Podcast. They happy, safe and healthy, do good and

1030
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: live well. Enjoy the draft everybody, and we'll talk to
