1
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: Good morning, Fantasy coaches are welcome to the Fantasy Pros

2
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: Football Podcast. I'm your host, Bobby Silvester, and today we'll

3
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: be answering many good questions from the listener mailbag to

4
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: help prepare you for your upcoming drafts. Producer JP Gale

5
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: is going to be reading the questions, and we'll be

6
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: borrowing some knowledge from our guest, James COOABENEFL dot com.

7
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: He's an Emmy Award winning news and sports journalist. Before

8
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: we jump into the questions, though, I want to tell

9
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: you about a fun opportunity we have coming up. We've

10
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: decided to start a podcast fantasy league that you can

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: get entry into. You'll be competing against me, Producer JP,

12
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: two of our experts, and a bunch of other listeners.

13
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: The best part about this league, though, is the settings.

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: You've never done a league like this. I developed an

15
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: idea a few years ago that maxes out the strategy

16
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: component of fantasy football. I call it a deep waiver

17
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: flex league. There's gonna be eighteen teams. You're gonna start

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: with two tight ends, and you have the potential every

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: week for two quarterbacks. With the super flex, you get

20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: three running back wide receiver flexes to go with your

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: normal two running backs and wide receivers. And then here's

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: the best part of it. I borrow the matchup concept

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: from DFS that makes DFS so great. So what you're

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna do. You only get one bench spot, and get this,

25
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: you have to drop three players every Tuesday, which means

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: you get to pick up three players every Wednesday. You

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: have a huge waiver budget, so you're gonna be picking

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: up three guys based on their matchup for the week.

29
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: And that's where the strategy comes in. It's a lot

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: of fun. I've played in these leagues before. It takes

31
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: fantasy football to a whole new level. That's what we're

32
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: gonna be doing for our podcast league. So what you

33
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: have to do to get into it. If you want

34
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: to enter the drawing, tweet me at Bobby Fantasy pro

35
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: or email me at Bobby at Fantasy pros dot com

36
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: and tell me in ten words, just ten words, why

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: we should choose you for the league. All right, now,

38
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: let's head on over to the listener mailbag and we've

39
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: got a ton of great questions, so keep sending in

46
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: the show two weeks from now. All right, Jp, what's

47
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: the first question in the listener mailbag? Our first question

48
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: comes from Shane and he wants to know what is

49
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: the most common mistake made by people when they draft.

50
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: That's a good question, Shane, You know, I think the

51
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: most common question, I'm sorry, the most common mistake is

52
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: is when you buy into the hype on these guys

53
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: from preseason. You know, we've seen so many examples of this. Sudfeld,

54
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: the tight end for the Patriots a few years ago,

55
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: was going just as high as Julius Thomas, and everyone

56
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: thought he was going to be a superstar because he

57
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: had a nice preseason. Do you remember that? That was crazy? Yeah,

58
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: that was crazy, and I just feel a lot more.

59
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: How about more recent how about last year with Davante Adams. Oh,

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: you're exactly right. He was going in the top forty picks.

61
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. It was crazy, you know, And and

62
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: I'll be one hundred percent honestly, I bought in, not

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: into him as a player, and I should have known better,

64
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: because you know, I saw him playing college. But I

65
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: bought into the system, and I bought into Aaron Rodgers

66
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: and boy did too. It was ugly. I was that

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: guy who wanted to make sure that I got the

68
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: number two wide receiver and the Packers, so I reached

69
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: for Davante Adams and I felt like such a chump.

70
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: So it happens, man, I get it. I think for me,

71
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: it's you know, look, you know we're obviously fans first,

72
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of folks will start reaching

73
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: for their team's guy. So you know, whether I've been

74
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: in a league where I saw Russell Wilson in the

75
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: first round and I'm like, this is ridiculous, but it's cool.

76
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a fan of the person, that's great,

77
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: But I kind of just understand where their relative value

78
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: is and I say just go from there. But I

79
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: think the other most the other common mistake is taking

80
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: a defense in like the six or seventh round. I

81
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: see that a lot, man, I see that a lot

82
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: and unless you're in one of those leagues and I

83
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: am in one of those leagues where you have a

84
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: move cap, like I play in a league where you

85
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: only get sixteen moves on the entire year like that. Yeah,

86
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy strategy. It's it's good stuff. But I mean,

87
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: if you're in a standard league, there's no reason to

88
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: take a defense within the first you know, twelve picks

89
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: of your draft, so because honestly, there's just not enough

90
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: you know, differential and you're always going to be playing

91
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: matchups anyway. So so yeah, I think that's the most

92
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: common mistake for me. I don't even draft a defense.

93
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: I just figure I'm gonna stream anyway, and I just

94
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: want to pick up a guy in the very defense

95
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: in the very last day and load my bench with

96
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: another backup running back just in case the starter goes down.

97
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's slim chances, but if he

98
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: does go down, I've got another starting running back. And

99
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: if not, just picking up a streaming defense, who cares? Man?

100
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: You know what, Bobby? You know the other thing too,

101
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, you got to keep in mind

102
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: when you're drafting, you bring up a good point because

103
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: he's saying, if you're drafting today or tomorrow or this

104
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: week or next week. You know what I'm saying, like,

105
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: you don't take a defense because you do have to

106
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: load up that bench because guys do get injured in

107
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: these preseason games. I mean, we saw last year too,

108
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: with Jordy Nelson going down. Some folks had some folks

109
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: had basically already done their draft and then Jordy Nelson

110
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: goes down. I mean that, you know, so you got

111
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: to keep that in mind. If you're drafting earlier in

112
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: the process, definitely don't take a defense. And I mean

113
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,119
Speaker 1: we've seen all these star running backs like Jamal Charles

114
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: has had a bunch of injury issues, and what happens

115
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: if he goes down and Spencer, we're sitting on your

116
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: free agents. I'd rather have him on my bench just

117
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: in case something like that happens, because Charles doesn't get

118
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: hurt a lot. Sure, absolutely, all right, JFE. What's the

119
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: next question? Our next question comes from Michael. He wants

120
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: to know should I preserve my money in an auction draft,

121
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: go all in on three stars or somewhere in between.

122
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: So I guess he's wondering if he should do a

123
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: Stars and Scrubs type auction draft or spread his money around.

124
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: It's interesting. I definitely have a strong opinion about this,

125
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: but James don't want to hear what you have to say. First.

126
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: I have been in a number of auction drafts, and

127
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: by the way, if you've never done one, you need

128
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: to do one. Auction drafts are the best. But man,

129
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: me personally, I can't help myself. I always go Stars

130
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: and Scrubs. But I got to be honest with you. Look,

131
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: I just can't help myself, all right. But that being said,

132
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: the times that I've actually won, it's usually when I

133
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 1: spread my money around, and I know that's the better

134
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: strategy generally, but sometimes I just can't help myself. Man,

135
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: And you get into bidding wars and stuff like that happened,

136
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: so I don't know. I honestly, I'm relatively confident doing

137
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: these Stars and Scrubs method is horrible. So fun, isn't it?

138
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: It is? I Yeah, sometimes I just can't help it.

139
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: You guys who are listening might have noticed this. But

140
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: I take a lot of pride in kind of having

141
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: oddball approaches, and so I had a lot more fun

142
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: when I'm the guy who's preserving his money and I

143
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: don't even really care who I get. I throw all

144
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: of my you know, my wish list out the window,

145
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: and I just get the best values no matter what.

146
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: So I'll be that guy in your draft with one

147
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars when everyone else is down to

148
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: thirty and just taking the best guys to our left.

149
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: And I know that's really annoying, and sometimes it doesn't

150
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: work out to pending on who you're drafting was So

151
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: really the best approach is just see what the guys

152
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: in your leaguer doing and zig when they're zagging. I mean,

153
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: if they're going heavy dollars on wide receivers, take a

154
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: chill pill on the wide receivers and go get yourself

155
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: some big time running backs in a real nice quarterback.

156
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: But as far as the big stars strategy goes, I've

157
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: seen that work. But it was a long time ago,

158
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, when Sean Alexander was scoring twenty touchdowns in

159
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: the season and Ladanian Tomlinson was a superstar and Kurt

160
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: Warner was by far the best quarterback. I mean, that

161
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: was a long time ago. But now all the stars

162
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: are not separated by as much and all these guys

163
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: are so injury prone. Now, I'm not sure what the

164
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: difference is. I don't think people used to get hurt

165
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: at the same right, So I'm avoiding that strategy. But

166
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: if you want to have fun, go ahead and do

167
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: a league like that. That's a lot of fun. Our

168
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: next question is also from Michael. He has another auction question.

169
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: He wants to know if he should nominate players that

170
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: he likes throughout the auction draft or if he should

171
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: stay away from nominating his picks. Michael, my advice for

172
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: you is to build a list of the guys that

173
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: are overhyped. Maybe if you live in New York, that

174
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: might be Eliam Anning. You know whoever it is that

175
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: you think people in your league are going to go

176
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: crazy about. Maybe you've talked to some of your friends

177
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: and you know who they really like. Bring those guys out,

178
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: let them spend big dollars on guys that shouldn't have

179
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: big dollars spent on them, and wait for your guys

180
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: to fall when you have more money. That's that's what

181
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: I do. Every time. I have a list of fifteen

182
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: or twenty guys that I go into the draft with,

183
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: and I bid those guys. I nominate those guys, let

184
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: people bit him up. Yeah, I think that's a great call.

185
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, especially early in the draft. Later

186
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: in the draft, it really makes no difference whatsoever. But

187
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: early in the draft we're talking like the first ten nominations.

188
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: If you nominate a second round guy in the first

189
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: round in the first ten nominations, that guy gets overbid

190
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: almost for sure. You're so so yeah. I mean, like,

191
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: let's say you view Doug Martin as like a second

192
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: round dude, right, like, and you're like the fifth nomination,

193
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: nominate him. It's cool, he's probably gonna get overbid. Well,

194
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: maybe Doug Martin's down a great call because he's got

195
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: an injury history and all that kind of stuff. But

196
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, Let's say you're not very high on

197
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, let's say like Lamar Millard, right, and

198
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: you really have no desire to have Lamar Miller whatsoever.

199
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, great, just bring him up, and

200
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: you know he'll he'll get bit up pretty quick, especially

201
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: that early in the draft. That's how I feel about

202
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Millard too. I'll tell you, Michael, the first guy

203
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: that I'm playing in bringing up in my auction drafts

204
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: this year is Greg Olsen, and it's not because he

205
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: has a ton of high but it's because of where

206
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: he's ranked, and people are going to look at him

207
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: and think, you know, this is a guy who we're

208
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: spending money on, and I just don't think that he

209
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: really is. I mean, they've got Calvin Benjamin coming back.

210
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: We saw what he did last season when he was

211
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: really the only quality target that Cam Newton had. He's

212
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: thirty one years old. I'm not buying into the notion

213
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: that Greg Olsen is going to be any good this year,

214
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: and so I think he's a single most overrated player

215
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: in the top fifty. And that's why I'm bringing up.

216
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: As a result, I don't see I don't necessarily I

217
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: don't know if I agree one hundred percent, but I

218
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: do agree with the fact that you should bring up

219
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: Greg Olson early because, first of all, I just think

220
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: there's so many tight end value picks. You're going to

221
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: be able to get a good tight end for like

222
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: a dollar, right, So like, let somebody spend twelve fifteen

223
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: bucks on Greg Olsen, and you yourself can when you

224
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: nominate that person, you can totally bid him up too.

225
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: It's all good. But yeah, I mean bring up Greg

226
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: Olson early in the process, mostly because again, he's not

227
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: going to live up to that value. Whatever he goes

228
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: in the auction, I think you're gonna get way better

229
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: value for a dollar or two dollars like way later

230
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: in your draft. I'm so afraid to bid people up.

231
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very glad for people like you, James, who

232
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: aren't afraid to bid people up because you know someone

233
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: has to do it. But it's not gonna be me.

234
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: That's how I end up with, like you know anyways.

235
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, our next question comes from Cody. Cody wants

236
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: to know should I trade my first round pick for

237
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: high end depth. I love this strategy, and I love

238
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: this strategy because what we talked about, a lot of

239
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: first round running backs end up getting hurt and wide

240
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: receivers getting hurt at a higher rate. Now too, you know,

241
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: if you can pick up I don't know how crazy

242
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: the guys you're going to trade with, but if you

243
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: can pick up a second and third round pick and

244
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: all you have to give up is your first and

245
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: maybe tenth or something like that, I'm doing that almost

246
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: every time unless I have one of those top four picks,

247
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 1: because I think the top four guys this year are

248
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: significantly better than anything after that. So you know, if

249
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: you can trade your number six pick in the first

250
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: round for a second and third round pick, I'm doing it.

251
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: What do you think, James, Yeah, I mean you know,

252
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: if that's the offer, sure, yeah, absolutely. If if I

253
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: have the number six or seven pick and they're offering

254
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: a second or third yeah, of course you do that

255
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: all day. But that being said, I would if they're

256
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: asking you this question. I doubt that that would be

257
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: the case, but maybe it is. I'm not sure, but

258
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: I think you would probably jump at that trade offer.

259
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: You're probably right. It's probably something that's a little more questionable. Yeah,

260
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: you know, like let's say they're offering you, like let's

261
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: say you have the third pick and they're offering you

262
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: a fifth and a sixth. Then this becomes kind of like, Okay,

263
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: I probably won't. This is too tough of a question

264
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: because honestly, like I have to know scoring system, I'd

265
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: have to know how many teams are in the league,

266
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: because if it's fourteen teams and all of a sudden,

267
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, so it kinda this

268
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: is too a little bit too difficult of a question.

269
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: And I get these questions on Twitter all the time,

270
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: and I always follow up with, hey man, you gotta

271
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: give me more info than this, you know, Yeah, I

272
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: do the same thing. That's usually the first of several

273
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: follow up questions before I think I can even get

274
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: to the answer. Yeah. Our next question comes from Zach.

275
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: He's asking a very pop question this preseason. He wants

276
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: to know if he should wait on a QB when

277
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: he's drafting. Absolutely, there's not even a question like we

278
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: should just move on to the next question, because honestly,

279
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: like no, yes, wait like wait forever. As a matter

280
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: of fact, you can wait like I'm talking like when

281
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: I say wait forever in a ten team standard standard draft,

282
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: like wait till like the tenth or twelfth round. Like, yes,

283
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: you should wait forever on a quarterback this season? What

284
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are you waiting for? James m Like if you

285
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: look at if you look at the way Kirk cousins

286
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: schedule lays out in the first like six weeks of

287
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: the season, it's beautiful, right, So like I like Kirk

288
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: Cousins this year. Another guy that I'm super high on

289
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: and again, you're not going to get this guy for

290
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: value on the East Coast, but out here out west,

291
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: Eli Manning is a guy that's going drafted in like

292
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: the tenth or tenth or ninth or tenth round. Like yeah,

293
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: it's great. I mean, listen, man Eli Manning for me,

294
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: if you look at his progression under Ben mcado and

295
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: also just as overall numbers in general and the division

296
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: that he plays in, I wouldn't be surprised if Eli

297
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: Manning goes for forty five hundred yards and close to

298
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: forty touchdowns if he's got Sterling Shepherd. I mean, he's

299
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: gone Sterling Shepherd if if you know, obviously obj special

300
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: and again the running back two is pretty good. I

301
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: think Ben McIndoe really wants to speed up how they

302
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: play forty five hundred. First of all, he had forty

303
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: four hundred yards last year, forty five hundred and forty.

304
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: So last year he had forty four hundred and thirty

305
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. Okay, he was a top ten quarterback. If

306
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: he gets to forty five and forty, he would have

307
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: been a number three or four quarterback in fantasy last year.

308
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a crazy number to throw out

309
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: there for Eli Manning. I think forty five and forty

310
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: is totally doable. I think he's a for me. I've

311
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: been saying all preseason. I think he's a lock to

312
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: be a top five quarterback in fantasy this year, and

313
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: you can get him in double digit rounds. Yeah, I

314
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: was gonna say those stacks from last Junion, that's not

315
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: much worse than your top couple quarterbacks. That's really cutting

316
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: it clothes, That's what I'm saying. The difference between like

317
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: the number five and the number ten guys is minuscule. Now,

318
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm being said, Obviously, Cam Newton just went bonkers last year,

319
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers to me, looks primed to just go

320
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: off this year too. So I think if you're not

321
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: getting Cam, if you're not getting Aaron Rodgers, then you

322
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: just gotta wait forever. I'm taking the opposite approach here.

323
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: I think that everybody's waiting for quarterbacks, and yes, I

324
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: do love Kirk Cousins, but somebody has to reach for

325
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins in every draft. I've seen it happen in

326
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: many drafts. I like Jamis Winston, but I don't want

327
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: him starting every week. I'd almost rather start a streamer

328
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: than one of those guys. I'm with you with Eli Manny.

329
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: I like him, but I draft based on value. And

330
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, Aaron Rodgers in terms of points above replacement,

331
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: in six of the past eight years, has been the

332
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: top quarterback in points above replacement, and in fact, four

333
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: of those years he was the top player overall, even

334
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: above any of the running backs, because he was just

335
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: so much better than the rest of the quarterbacks. And

336
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna happen again with Aaron Rodgers. Now,

337
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go crazy and reach for him,

338
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: but if I can get him at his ecror ADP

339
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: drafts slot, I love Aaron Rodgers. Same thing with Russell Wilson.

340
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: Just because someone mentioned this on the podcast last week,

341
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: Russian quarterbacks are a cheat code with where Russell Wilson's going.

342
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: You know, there's only been one quarterback I wrote this

343
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: on for the Draft Wizard player notes, there's only been

344
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: one quarterback in the past two years who's been top

345
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: five each of the past two seasons, and it's Russell Wilson.

346
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: He's been top three each of those two seasons, and

347
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: he's only going to get better. So I like Russell

348
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: Wilson at his slot and Aaron Rodgers at his slot.

349
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: If I don't get either of them, I'm waiting. I'm

350
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: gonna go get myself. Kirk Cousins, Yeah, it's interesting because

351
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: I love Aaron Rodgers two. First of all, listen, I

352
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: went to Kyls me like a man crush straight man.

353
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: That being said, you know, I find it difficult to

354
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: get him because I'd like to spend a fourth round

355
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: pick on Aaron Rodgers, but I always see him going

356
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: in the second or third round. It's really hard to

357
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: get them, especially in in in regular person drafts. Forget it,

358
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: like that dude's going in the second round. I just think,

359
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: like when when you start playing with sharps or like experts. Okay, yeah,

360
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is going to fall and and that's when

361
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: you get good value. It just happens to be. If

362
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: you're again, you got to know your league. But if

363
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: you're playing in like a more casual league, forget it.

364
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: But that Our next question comes from Andy. Andy wants

365
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: to know how are experts using their bench picks in

366
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: a draft. Once they get to their bench, how how

367
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: are they making their selections? Andy, this is a great question.

368
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of theories out there. I have

369
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: my own strong personal opinion. As you've noticed, I have

370
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: a strong opinion about anything. I'm only drafting running backs

371
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: and wide receivers, and I'm only drafting high end ones

372
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: after the first two guys on my bench, just because

373
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, you make so much your money off the

374
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: waiver wire, and if when your high end picks doesn't work,

375
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: you just drop them and pick up a waiver wire guy.

376
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: But those high and bench picks are what winging the

377
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: league is part of the concern. Yeah, I would agree

378
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: with that. I mean, you know, the draft is thirty

379
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 1: percent of it, the waiver wire is another thirty percent,

380
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: and whatever. It's management too and just kind of keeping

381
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: an eye out employers. But yeah, I mean, look, you know,

382
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: should you It's kind of related to should I pick

383
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: up a backup you know, tight end? No you shouldn't.

384
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: Should I pick up two defenses? No, you shouldn't do that?

385
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean you you want to load up

386
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: just through process of elimination. I mean, really, if you're again,

387
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: if you're if you're someone like myself who's gonna wait

388
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: on quarterback and you're gonna wait until you know the ninth, tenth, eleventh,

389
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: twelfth round to go get these value quarterbacks. Then yes,

390
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: you want a second quarterback in that situation. Now, if

391
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: you have Aaron Rodgers, you got Cam Newton. Probably not

392
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: because quite honestly, if Aaron Rodgers or Cam Newton sucked

393
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: this year, well your season's kind of toast. Anyways, just

394
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: play the waiver wire and you maybe can make it

395
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: up on a on a crazy David Johnson type player

396
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: off the bench. So yeah, I would agree with that

397
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: you basically want to get wide receivers in running backs

398
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: on the bench. Our next question comes from Tony, who

399
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: wants to know how should my draft strategy change if

400
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm in a fourteen team league. For me, I think,

401
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: you know, running backs become a little bit more valuable

402
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: in those leagues because again, don't get me wrong, in

403
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: a standard you know, ten or even twelve team league,

404
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: I kind of sort of devalue running backs mostly because

405
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, they are more injury prone as we've seen,

406
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: and a lot of them are just in straight committees.

407
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: But then you know, once you get to fourteen and

408
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: especially you know, larger leagues with deeper benches, it becomes

409
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: a little riskier, a riskier proposition to try and find

410
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: good committee backs, you know, like the Charles sims Is

411
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: of the world. If that guy gets locked up, you know,

412
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: if you start seeing like Kadeem Carry or like Jordan

413
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: Howard start getting locked up, it's like, okay, cool, Like

414
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: now I've got five wide receivers and I've got one

415
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: running back. This is not great, you know. So yeah,

416
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: so I would you know not that I don't. I

417
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: fully subscribe if you want to do it. You want

418
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: to get crazy, you want to go zero RB this year?

419
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: A cool I'm down, But I'm just saying, in a

420
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: fourteen team league, gotta be a little bit more mindful

421
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: of that running back position. I'm in complete agreement with you.

422
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: It's all about that bell cow running back. In these

423
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: fourteen team leagues, especially sixteen or eighteen. I'm getting the

424
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: guys who are gonna get a bunch of carries that

425
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, don't really have much competition for the job.

426
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: So you know, you can get those bell called running

427
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: backs in the first and second round, but especially in

428
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: the middle of the draft. I'm targeting Duke Johnson, who

429
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: I think is gonna get a lot of carries, Melvin Gordon,

430
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: who I think is gonna get a lot of carries.

431
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: Rochard Jennings for the Giants, who's going really late. I'm

432
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: trying to get all those guys in my deeper leagues

433
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: just to make sure that I have plenty of running backs,

434
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: and especially for trade value. I mean, it's going to

435
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: come to the point where someone's gonna have one or

436
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: their two running backs go down and they're gonna come

437
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: crawling begging to you for one of year four or

438
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: five running backs who are getting consistent carries, and you're

439
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: gonna have the upper hand trade. So that's what I'm

440
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: doing in those deep leagues. We have a couple owner

441
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: dilemma questions. This first one is from Brock. He wants

442
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: to know he has a player that he really likes

443
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: who's being drafted around seventieth overall. How far should he

444
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: be willing to reach to ensure that he gets him?

445
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 1: This is tough. It really depends on who it is.

446
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: I kind of wish that this question had told us.

447
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: I know. I know, however, well, I understand the peer,

448
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, idea of the question, the principle of the question,

449
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: So I'll answer it. I would only reach two rounds.

450
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: I'm not going any further than that. If it's Donte Moncrief,

451
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm maybe reaching three rounds. I know he's going in

452
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: the seventies. Duke Johnson in some formats is going in

453
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: the seventies. I've reached three rounds for him too, But

454
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: for a lot of guys going in the seventies, I

455
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: don't like him. I would avoid him like at all costs.

456
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: So it really depends on who it is. But max

457
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: three rounds for those two guys. Otherwise two rounds. What

458
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: do you think? Yeah, I think two rounds sounds about right.

459
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: But you know, you also got to keep in mind

460
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: where you are in the draft. If you're on one

461
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: of the ends in a snake draft, either one or

462
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: two or one or twelve or whatever it is, even

463
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: if you're like two or like nine, you know you

464
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: really have to kind of sort of be mindful of

465
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: because when you get that turnaround pick, you're not going

466
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: to see a pick forever, right, So you know, I

467
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: don't if you wanted to go three rounds, and you know,

468
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: again one of them was your turnaround pick, I wouldn't

469
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: love it. But I get it, and I've been everyone's

470
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: been guilty of that. But you know again kind of

471
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: just look at your roster composition and the player too. Man.

472
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: I you know, this question is really difficult because it

473
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: really just depends on the player. You know. If you're like,

474
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, I know you said you're high on Duke Johnson,

475
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to reach three rounds, so you'll

476
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: get Duke Johnson he places in the Cleveland offense like Noah,

477
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it just depends. So

478
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,239
Speaker 1: it depends on for me, like people ask me, how

479
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: do I do player evaluations? Right, So like one of

480
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: it is number one is opportunity. Number two is athletic profile,

481
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: and then number three is you know, the overall offense.

482
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: I know that might surprise some people, but I kind

483
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: of view the overall offense to kind of be not

484
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: quite as important as the first two because I think

485
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman has the athletic profile. I think it's gonna

486
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: get the opportunities, but I think the offense is gonna stink.

487
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: But I still like them, So there you go. I

488
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 1: guess what I mean for Duke Johnson is, you know,

489
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: I think it's ESPN. I could be wrong, so forgive

490
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, but ESPN has them in the seventies,

491
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: whereas other people have them in the fifties, especially in

492
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: PPR leagues, I'd draft him in the late forties. It

493
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: just depends on the format. And if people are all

494
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: looking at him and seeing that he's in the seventies,

495
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: yet in a bunch of other leagues he's going in

496
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: the fifties, that's where I would reach. It's not technically

497
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: a reach compared to the ECR or ADP, but for

498
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: your particular league it might be. It might say, there

499
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: you go. Now, if there's a guy that you like

500
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: in the seventies, but you know your lowest pick before

501
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: then is in the early fifties or mid fifties, I

502
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: think you should just trade for a pick in the

503
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: sweet spot. I mean, here's the thing. If you're in

504
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: a draft. People are panicking during the draft because they're

505
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: not as prepared as you. And if you make trade aids,

506
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: people like to make trades. I mean, some people are

507
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: gonna be hesitant if you offer them a pick, but

508
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: if you just offered up in the draft room, somebody's

509
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: gonna scoop that up. Say you want to pick in

510
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: in the early seventh round so that you can make

511
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: sure to get Dante Moncrief. Go ahead and offer that

512
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: up and just throw the pick out there. Throw your

513
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: trade offer out there. Somebody's gonna take it, and you

514
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: could get great value. I love making trades during the

515
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: drafts because one, it's fun. It makes Draft DA so

516
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: much better. But two, somebody's gonna panic and they're gonna

517
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: pull the trigger. You've got the upper hand because you're prepared.

518
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: So I would even say draw up a couple of

519
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: trade offers that you want to make based on the

520
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: sweet spots in the draft that you want to be,

521
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: and trade out of the spots that you don't want

522
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: to be. I don't want to draft in the seventh

523
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: and eighth round this year, so I'm trading out of

524
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: those spots, and I'm gonna see if I can get

525
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: a bunch of picks in the ninth and tenth round,

526
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: which I love, so I can get the high end

527
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: guys that I really like, and then maybe an extra

528
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: pick in the fifth where there's a bunch of guys

529
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: that I like too. So I don't know, go ahead

530
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: and try that this year, see if it works for you.

531
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: Our next owner dilemma comes from Matt. He's wondering if

532
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: he should keep Josh Gordon or Tyler Lockett for his

533
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: his eight keeper dynasty leaders. Stop it, keep Tyler Lockett Man.

534
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: Stop telling me about people on Twitter. You gotta stop

535
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: talking to me about Josh Gordon. This is ridiculous. Now.

536
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: It's like, if Josh Gordon stays out of trouble, though,

537
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,239
Speaker 1: how good of a keeper is he for next year?

538
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: That's the only thing I don't know for next year?

539
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: Not great. I mean, he's still gonna miss four games.

540
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: Like I don't get that, you know what I mean.

541
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: It's like what about a fight told you some guy's

542
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: gonna miss four Like people just glossing over the fact

543
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: that he's miss four games. I don't get it. He's

544
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: missing four games. Bell was missing four games though, too.

545
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: He's going in the second round Leve. I can understand

546
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: the whole Leve Bell situation more because right now there's

547
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: a big question mark as to how many games he's

548
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: actually going to miss. We know Josh Gordon is gonna

549
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: miss four games. The other thing is Josh Gordon's out

550
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: of shape. And the other thing I don't understand how

551
00:25:54,720 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: we're just completely whitewashing his last season, Like when he

552
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: came back, he was bad. He's not that good. He

553
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: was worse than Rashard Matthews, That's what I'm saying. Like

554
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: he was bad, Like he had a catch rate of

555
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: less than fifty percent. He was more inefficient with his

556
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: targets than Davante Adams last year. Man, Like, let's I

557
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: don't understand, Like it's it's ridiculous, like and it's like,

558
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: well just look at twenty thirteen. It's like, Okay, well cool.

559
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he had one good year. He's got a

560
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: great athletic profile. I get it. That's cool. But I

561
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know how much he's been in

562
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: the game. It doesn't sound like very much from all

563
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: the offseason reports and offseason things that I've seen about

564
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon. Like to me, he's not a football or

565
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: die guy. Like he's going to art exhibits like he's

566
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: an artist now. He goes to parties like he's kicking

567
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: it with Johnny Manziel. Nah, dude, I don't want that guy. Like, no,

568
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: stop stop talking to me about Josh Gordon's crazy. And

569
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: the other thing is his suspension, his reinstatement is conditional,

570
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: and who thinks that he is going to meet those conditions?

571
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: It's got I don't so I think I don't know

572
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: if he's going to play a single game this year

573
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: or for the rest of his career. So I am

574
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: definitely keeping Tyler Lockett in that situation. Our final owner

575
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: dilemma is from Drake. He has a keeper league. You

576
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: keep three. You get one player on a one year contract,

577
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: one on a two year, and one on a three year.

578
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: He wants to know who will be the best three

579
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: years from now, Rob Gronkowski, Andrew Luck, Jarvis Landry or

580
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: Kevin White. I just want to know if we're gonna

581
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: get a follow up question from Meek Mill or Kanye

582
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know. Brake. We appreciate you,

583
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: you know, mailing us these fantasy questions. Appreciate it. Views

584
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: from the six was hot, So it's good in my

585
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: In a keeper league though, if you're keeping three, wow,

586
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: this is these are a lot of conditions. You're keeping

587
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: three one one year contract, a one two year contract,

588
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: and a one three year con track. I like that

589
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: format a lot. I've never heard of that before. That's

590
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: a lot of rules Brot. That is a lot or

591
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: this sounds like a lawyer league. Is this a lawyer league?

592
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: What's going on here? All right? Who's going to be

593
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: the best three years from now? Gronk, Luck, Lantry or

594
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: Kevin White three years from now in fantasy? Come on, dude,

595
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: don't you know? It's really funny, Like go back and

596
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: look at your top scores from three years ago. It's

597
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: a mess. Yeah, it's an absolute mess. I don't think

598
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: it's going to be Gronk. I can almost guarantee you

599
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: it's not going to be Gronk. The way he plays.

600
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's probably gonna be Gonzo's by then, So no,

601
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be Gronk. Plus he's

602
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: got a pretty deep injury history, so I would probably

603
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: rule him out. He's good, great for a one year contract.

604
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck in three years that's probably my guy, right,

605
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: so reliable, That's who I'm going with. And it's not

606
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: a question to me. Yeah, in three years because the

607
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: quarterback position age as well, you know obviously he'll be

608
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: at that point, he'll be in his absolute prime. There's

609
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: really you know, you look at you kind of look

610
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: at the landscape. Who else really is they're going to

611
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: be in three years. There's gonna be Russell Wilson, like

612
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is gonna be gone. Eli Manning's going to

613
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: be on the tail end of his career. Tom Brady

614
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: obviously would be gone as well. Aaron Rodgers is going

615
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: to be thirty six at that point, so he'll still

616
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: be relevant, but not nearly as good. Cam Newton will

617
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: obviously be there, but Andrew luck Will will definitely be

618
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that, but he most likely will be

619
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: one of the top three quarterbacks three years from now.

620
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: Shoulder issues really scare me. And that's what lucked out

621
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: with last year. That's really scary. That's true. You know,

622
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: I think I think he's your best bet. The second

623
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: best bet, and I don't even think it's close is

624
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry. And the reason for that, I mean, Kevin White,

625
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: sure he could be great, but we haven't seen him.

626
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: We don't know yet. And like you said, with Rob Grincounts,

627
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: he a lot the injury issues. He's getting up here

628
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: in age, but Jarvis Landry was perhaps the most reliable,

629
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: consistent wide receiver in football last year. I mean, he

630
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: had over fifty yards almost every single game. There were

631
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: only two games he didn't. One of him he had

632
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: forty two yards and the other one he had just

633
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: two receptions against Baltimore because they were running the ball

634
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: against him. Jarvis Landry is so consistent. I think he's

635
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,239
Speaker 1: going to be consistent through his career as long as

636
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: he can avoid the injury book. Yeah. I mean he

637
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: had one hundred and ten receptions. Anytime you get that

638
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 1: kind of work, it's gonna be hard not to at

639
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: least be semi productive on a week to week basis.

640
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: So it's at least, at the very least very consistent,

641
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: which is cool. I don't know, I'm intrigued by Kevin

642
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: White honestly. I mean, obviously we haven't seen him play yet,

643
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: but his athletic profile obviously a side size speed combination.

644
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: Great loved his hands in college. Who knows what happens

645
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: with Alshon Jeffrey, But if he becomes the number one

646
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: for any particular team, Kevin White has certainly got I

647
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: don't think it's a stretch to say he's got higher

648
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: touchdown upside than Jarvis Landry, who, again, just due to

649
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: his size in game, it's gonna be hard for him

650
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: to really be one of those ten twelve touchdown type guys.

651
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: I'll say this about Kevin White. I think he's more

652
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: opposite than Alshon Jeffrey. I mean I look at him.

653
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: He's a he's a freaking nature athlete, and if you

654
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: watch him in college, he's purely he's clearly a gamer.

655
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: I mean he was playing there for West Virginia against

656
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: all those great defenses and he shredded him. Double triple

657
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: coverage didn't matter. He had the hardest scheduled strength in

658
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: college football and he put up by far the best numbers.

659
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: He's a gamer. He's a freak athlete. Kevin White could

660
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: be a superstar in this league. And uh, I don't

661
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna be year, it's probably not, but um,

662
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: three years from now, maybe I agree that Kevin White

663
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: could be a superstar. But more better than al Sean Jeffrey.

664
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: That's uh, that's high praise. Man. Alshon Jeffrey when he

665
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: plays is a He's great, isn't he so? But yeah, no,

666
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean the injury concerns obviously, but man, I like

667
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: I like Alshon Jeffrey a lot. I think he's being

668
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: under drafted quite Honestly, Jay Cutler's got to be licking

669
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: his chops with those two guys. Yeah, I think they're

670
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be fine. He'll find I think

671
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be fine. I don't know. Jay

672
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: Cutler is is an above average quarterback, you know, obviously

673
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: he's not an elite guy. But who else they got

674
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: behind him? I mean, I think they're both going to

675
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: have fine seasons. Do you think to hug Marquis Wilson Marcus,

676
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: I think he's still on the squad. Yeah, but I

677
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: think they're talking about Marianni moving up in the depth chart.

678
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: Wilson might end up getting cut just because Marianni has

679
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: been playing so well. So we'll see. It's not looking good.

680
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: It's I don't like their running back situation either. Okay,

681
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: we have one more question. It comes from Derek. He

682
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: wants to know, who have you been moving up your

683
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: draft board since training camp started? Since training camp started? Well,

684
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: I think the guy that I have been moving up

685
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: my board in general, and it was regardless of whatever

686
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: is happening in training camp. But he's having a fabulous

687
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: training camp is Marvin Jones. Again. I just look I

688
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: watch him go into that situation and there's one hundred

689
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: fifty targets for grabs. I just not saying that he's

690
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: going to get one hundred fifty targets. But let's say

691
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: he gets one hundred and twenty. He's a locked in

692
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: did wide receiver number two. There's just no chance in

693
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: hell he doesn't finish as a top twenty wide receiver

694
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: if he gets one hundred and twenty targets next year. Really,

695
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: if if we're just going off of training camp, dude,

696
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, come on, no, because I mean, look, Sterling

697
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: Shepherd at the end of the day is still going

698
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: to be a clear cut number two wide receiver. And

699
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: again he's a Jarvis Landry type in that he's the

700
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: fabulous route runner, very quick, but he's a smallish guy too.

701
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: I think his touchdown potentialial is not great. Um, I

702
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: have him capped out, I mean absolutely capped out this

703
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: year at eight. That's an I mean an absolute ceiling.

704
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: I think more realistically, you're looking at five or six

705
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: and when you only get five or six touchdowns, who know,

706
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: and maybe two of them come in one game even right,

707
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: So now you're it's that's a tough proposition for a

708
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: rookie A M and B. I mean, what's the yardage?

709
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: I think I like him a lot, and I think

710
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: that's why I'm really high on Eli Manning. But what's

711
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: his yardage ceiling? Like his yardage, there's no way he's

712
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: going above twelve hundred, there's no way. So you know,

713
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: I have him capped out in terms of a yardage

714
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: ceiling as at eleven fifty. But I think more realistically

715
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: we're looking at like ten fifty, So like ten fifty

716
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: and five touchdowns. That's like a season, you know what

717
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: I mean? Ye're right, so um and again, I know

718
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: we get enticed by rookies, and I like him a

719
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: lot as a rookie as well. I just again, he's

720
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: a rookie. OBJ is still there. But Michael Thomas man

721
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: there's no reason, there's really honestly no reason why they

722
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't funnel one hundred and ten targets to Michael Thoms.

723
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: It's the way it's looking right now. Brandon Cooks is

724
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: going to be on the outside. That's fine, but he's

725
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: again a small a little bit of a smaller dude,

726
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: also very limited in what he can do. He's a

727
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: vertical guy. That's it. Michael Thomas is a bigger dude,

728
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: a freak athlete. I questioned his hands coming out of college,

729
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: but right now it looks like he's either a developed

730
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: which is totally possible, or be he just straight up

731
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he's got a better quarterback, so I

732
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 1: don't I don't mind taking a flyer on Michael Thomas

733
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: at all, and don't be surprised if he becomes an

734
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: every week flex play if not better. If not better,

735
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: that's great insight. You really just sold me on Michael Thomas.

736
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no reason why he can't get one

737
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: hundred and ten targets. I like, Willie sneed a lot too,

738
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: But dude, yeah, Drew Brees is gonna throw the rock

739
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: six hundred times next year. He's gonna throw the ball

740
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars. You're telling me, you're telling me one

741
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: hundred and ten targets can't go to Michael Thomas. Come on,

742
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: I feel really horrible for following that up with this,

743
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: because I know you're gonna make fun of me for

744
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: the guy that I'm gonna say, because every single year

745
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 1: he gets hyped up in every single year he lets

746
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: people down. It's Christen Michael, don't do it. His ADP

747
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: right now is over two hundred. His EHRs one eighty. Yeah,

748
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: And with what Pete Carroll's saying in that offense, they're

749
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: saying he's gonna split carries with Thomas Rawls, and if

750
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: he does, he's got to go in the top one hundred, right,

751
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: all percent. I mean, how high are you taking him

752
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: for me? Just because you know, again, as you mentioned,

753
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: you've been burned by by him so many years. Like, look,

754
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: if you're taking him before the twelfth round, I just

755
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: think that's a mistake because there are other deep sleepers

756
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: and just regular sleepers that are I think more locked

757
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 1: and loaded to be, you know, to have a better season.

758
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: Because keep in mind, I think he's going to be

759
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: a tremendous player the first week, maybe first two weeks

760
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: of the season, But once Thomas Rawls starts getting right again,

761
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: that might just be a batfield we avoid entirely. C J.

762
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: Prosie is going to get passing down work, that is

763
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: for sure, hundred percent, all right. So Thomas Rawls is

764
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: going to come back, you know at some point, you

765
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: would hope, unless he suffers a setback, but man, you

766
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: know what, You're right though, Christian Michael, what we saw

767
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: at least in that limited preseason game and all the

768
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: camp reports have been great. He looks good. We knew

769
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: about the north south ability. I never doubted that ever,

770
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: but his lateral movement all of a sudden is looking great.

771
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: So it's a great run offense that they have there.

772
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: But again, I just you know, I don't think you

773
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: should take him before the twelfth round in the standard

774
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: ten team league, and I know that pushes him his

775
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: ADP below a pick hundred. But again, I mean we

776
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: kind of have to be aware of who the player

777
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: is and also the situation. I saw a picture of

778
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: Christine Michael Wentz that just made me think, this is

779
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: going to be the greatest football player ever. I mean,

780
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: just go to Google images and look up a picture

781
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: of Christine Michael. Oh he's an Adonis. Yeah, he looks

782
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: like an alien. I mean, he's It's like when you

783
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: look at you and Neil, like that can't be a

784
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: real person, right that. I've always said this too, like

785
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: if those guys are humans, like I have to be

786
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: something else, Like I can't also be a human, Like

787
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: there has to be some other like subsect or something like,

788
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: I gotta be something else, like I can't be. You

789
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: can't put me next if you've showed me in shack

790
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: like and you put us next to it, and like

791
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: you showed an alien these two guys and you said, Okay,

792
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: these guys are the same thing. They're gonna be Like, No,

793
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: they're not. They're not the same. They're not the same thing.

794
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, no, I agree with you. Michael is

795
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: an athletic. We never doubted the athletic profile. It's just

796
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, again, does he get his head on straight?

797
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: Does he fit into a system. And for me, it's

798
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: always been whether or not he was willing to do,

799
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, side to side and move laterally. But his

800
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: north south speed man is just unbelievable. All right, James,
