1
00:00:00,677 --> 00:00:02,829
Oh, my goodness, Matt W and good morning.

2
00:00:02,989 --> 00:00:05,460
Happy Monday. You know, you know, by by

3
00:00:05,460 --> 00:00:07,054
the way, you can say hello. How are

4
00:00:07,054 --> 00:00:08,741
you? But I think so sorry. Of things

5
00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:10,169
I'm fine, but I got things on my

6
00:00:10,169 --> 00:00:12,947
mind. No. Like... So, you know, we talk

7
00:00:12,947 --> 00:00:14,613
about the quiet period and we are in

8
00:00:14,613 --> 00:00:16,969
the quiet period. Client periods competitive

9
00:00:17,888 --> 00:00:20,365
significantly. Right? Like, the final mini camp... Or

10
00:00:20,365 --> 00:00:22,603
final Ot mini camp sessions were the first

11
00:00:22,603 --> 00:00:24,441
week after ended into... Into the second week

12
00:00:24,441 --> 00:00:27,167
of June ever everyone had wrapped up. I

13
00:00:27,167 --> 00:00:28,601
looking at the schedule for training camps. The

14
00:00:28,681 --> 00:00:31,150
Ravens report on the thirteenth. Ravens Rookie report

15
00:00:31,150 --> 00:00:31,947
on the thirteenth.

16
00:00:32,982 --> 00:00:34,177
Veterans on the fourteenth.

17
00:00:34,576 --> 00:00:34,869
Like

18
00:00:35,625 --> 00:00:37,773
Next week, next Monday we'll be our... I

19
00:00:37,773 --> 00:00:39,762
mean, they'll... Look, we'll we'll find something to

20
00:00:39,762 --> 00:00:42,242
talk about people relax. But after that the

21
00:00:42,242 --> 00:00:43,911
flood gates start opening, and it will be

22
00:00:43,911 --> 00:00:48,147
an endless stream of of tidbits and nuanced

23
00:00:48,362 --> 00:00:49,530
information that we'll be able to sort it

24
00:00:49,649 --> 00:00:50,787
through So February.

25
00:00:51,324 --> 00:00:53,798
Until February. Right? Like, the roller coaster ride

26
00:00:53,798 --> 00:00:54,994
get, scrap up kids.

27
00:00:57,003 --> 00:00:58,592
Wow. I just feel like I just got

28
00:00:58,592 --> 00:01:00,420
off and the baby had thrown up and

29
00:01:00,420 --> 00:01:03,202
like, you, I you know and and somebody

30
00:01:03,202 --> 00:01:05,428
else somebody's crying and there's a husband and

31
00:01:05,428 --> 00:01:08,073
wife having an argument deserve. I wasn't actually

32
00:01:08,073 --> 00:01:10,625
crying. I wasn't crying. I was never I

33
00:01:10,625 --> 00:01:12,619
was with sniff or something. I don't really

34
00:01:12,619 --> 00:01:15,331
know. I understand. I understood. Just not I'm

35
00:01:15,331 --> 00:01:17,100

36
00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:18,775
2 people go to football guys dot com.

39
00:01:23,641 --> 00:01:26,207
a 15 fantasy prospects under the 80 radar.

40
00:01:26,764 --> 00:01:28,594
That's fantastic. We're gonna talk about some of.

41
00:01:28,753 --> 00:01:30,106
We may talk about more next week. We'll

42
00:01:30,106 --> 00:01:31,778
see. My fantasy notebook is out,

43
00:01:32,573 --> 00:01:34,643

44
00:01:34,643 --> 00:01:36,333
round up a and top stories and how

45
00:01:36,493 --> 00:01:38,811
I see them and as always go to

at w dot com, the Rs, the ongoing

47
00:01:42,167 --> 00:01:43,366
issues are ongoing.

48
00:01:44,005 --> 00:01:46,647
Your rank rankings. Everything is available. My rankings

49
00:01:46,647 --> 00:01:48,079

50
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:49,932
up with football guys with full commentary,

51
00:01:50,785 --> 00:01:51,715
Matt, 1 of the few

52
00:01:52,712 --> 00:01:55,025
football guy staffers who's filling in all the

53
00:01:55,025 --> 00:01:57,019
blanks for everybody? I feel like a slack.

54
00:01:57,816 --> 00:01:59,092
What what what do we got going at

55
00:01:59,092 --> 00:02:00,687
matt w dot com? But what's going on

56
00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:02,694
with Rs right now this very minute. I

57
00:02:02,853 --> 00:02:04,126
I could read my email that I figured

58
00:02:04,126 --> 00:02:05,239
you to read it better. Yeah. I mean,

59
00:02:05,398 --> 00:02:07,626
I'm I've given you 4, you know, 4

60
00:02:07,626 --> 00:02:09,155
running backs to keep an eye. On for

61
00:02:09,155 --> 00:02:11,314
the college football season and what they need

62
00:02:11,314 --> 00:02:11,814
to

63
00:02:12,194 --> 00:02:14,834
really kind of improve upon and focus on

64
00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:16,775
to elevate their draft status

65
00:02:17,968 --> 00:02:20,205
I am starting the 20... I've already started

66
00:02:20,205 --> 00:02:22,442
watching for the 20 25 season I watched

67
00:02:22,602 --> 00:02:25,331
Ali, Gordon, the running back of oak, Oklahoma

68
00:02:25,331 --> 00:02:27,633
state last night. I'm gonna finish up a

69
00:02:27,633 --> 00:02:29,539
little bit of him today and probably start

70
00:02:29,539 --> 00:02:30,833
with Qui sean J

71
00:02:31,683 --> 00:02:32,160
little miss,

72
00:02:33,366 --> 00:02:35,195
I'm thinking about sharing a debbie draft that

73
00:02:35,355 --> 00:02:36,388
I'm in right now.

74
00:02:38,217 --> 00:02:40,205
You know, down the line here and we

75
00:02:40,205 --> 00:02:41,001
just had a podcast.

76
00:02:41,414 --> 00:02:44,051
With Brandon Angelo 9. We talked a little

77
00:02:44,051 --> 00:02:46,767
bit about what we thought a sleeper is,

78
00:02:47,406 --> 00:02:49,653
how we would define that, and our thoughts

79
00:02:49,653 --> 00:02:52,039
on some sleepers, You know? So we're gonna

80
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:53,232
continue that today as well.

81
00:02:53,869 --> 00:02:56,033
We certainly are, but we'll start with some

82
00:02:56,033 --> 00:02:58,742
less sleepy things that are of interest. Like,

83
00:02:58,902 --> 00:03:00,097
there's a lot of high end players that

84
00:03:00,097 --> 00:03:01,691
are... You know, there's been a little bit

85
00:03:01,691 --> 00:03:04,174
of chatter about. And, you know, some of

86
00:03:04,174 --> 00:03:06,552
them are contract related, some of them, you

87
00:03:06,552 --> 00:03:09,089
know, coming off injury related, whatever, whatever the

88
00:03:09,089 --> 00:03:10,913
case. The fuck fading uncertainty.

89
00:03:11,484 --> 00:03:14,749
There's contract situations ambiguous use Jeff charts or

90
00:03:14,749 --> 00:03:15,067
roles.

91
00:03:17,058 --> 00:03:18,730
Are you running away from that or are

92
00:03:18,730 --> 00:03:20,897
you running into that? Or is it... Situational

93
00:03:20,897 --> 00:03:23,451
dependence. Like, you know, prime example, what brought

94
00:03:23,451 --> 00:03:24,648
this up in my mind. I was talking

95
00:03:24,648 --> 00:03:26,165
about in the radio show. By the way,

96
00:03:26,245 --> 00:03:29,289
the football Die radio program will Beyond 5

97
00:03:29,289 --> 00:03:31,754
days a week starting next week, football season

98
00:03:31,754 --> 00:03:32,867
has begun sorry baseball,

99
00:03:33,344 --> 00:03:35,810
Not really. Really sorry at all. Football season

100
00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:37,559
begins in earnest on Sirius this week. D

101
00:03:37,559 --> 00:03:39,667
and I are back 5 nights a week

102
00:03:39,805 --> 00:03:41,718
next week. But we were talking a little

103
00:03:41,718 --> 00:03:43,632
bit about, like, you know, Cd lam generally

104
00:03:43,632 --> 00:03:45,466
seen as, you know, after Christmas Mc caf,

105
00:03:46,423 --> 00:03:47,300
number 2, overall,

106
00:03:48,828 --> 00:03:50,340
contract issue for him. I mean, there are

107
00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:51,774
concerns. He's not gonna show up for training

108
00:03:51,774 --> 00:03:53,286
camp at least until he gets his new

109
00:03:53,286 --> 00:03:56,326
deal. There's questions about Dax contract at anyone

110
00:03:56,326 --> 00:03:57,678
thinks he's not going to play. I don't

111
00:03:57,678 --> 00:03:59,347
think Cds is not going to play. But,

112
00:03:59,506 --> 00:04:01,255
you know, Brandon and I. There are others

113
00:04:01,255 --> 00:04:03,401
of how Camaro looking for a new deal.

114
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:03,694
I think

115
00:04:04,450 --> 00:04:06,357
I wanna say that, like, Levi bell ruined

116
00:04:06,357 --> 00:04:07,390
it for almost us. We used to always

117
00:04:07,390 --> 00:04:09,139
be able to say, nobody holds out the

118
00:04:09,139 --> 00:04:10,888
whole season. Right? Or nobody holds out in

119
00:04:10,888 --> 00:04:12,557
the season, then Le Bell says oh you

120
00:04:12,557 --> 00:04:13,128
ever. Really.

121
00:04:13,924 --> 00:04:15,754
But what are you doing with players like

122
00:04:15,754 --> 00:04:17,822
this? Are you hoping to gain some value?

123
00:04:18,220 --> 00:04:19,357
Are you looking to

124
00:04:19,811 --> 00:04:21,893
not like for basketball purposes. But for, like,

125
00:04:22,052 --> 00:04:24,039
you're, like, say you're in a single lead.

126
00:04:24,675 --> 00:04:26,503
And you're sitting there with pick number 2

127
00:04:26,503 --> 00:04:28,967
as Cd land comes up, or you're considering

128
00:04:28,967 --> 00:04:31,130
drafting your brandon in I if you go

129
00:04:31,130 --> 00:04:33,039
running back heavy early as your wide receiver

130
00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:34,312
1. What how do... How does you get

131
00:04:34,312 --> 00:04:35,368
certain situations

132
00:04:35,982 --> 00:04:38,074
affect your drink app strategy. Not a lot

133
00:04:38,074 --> 00:04:40,314
because even though we remember Levi on bill

134
00:04:40,314 --> 00:04:42,634
and maybe Vincent checks and and and look

135
00:04:42,634 --> 00:04:44,475
at situations like that and think, oh, those

136
00:04:44,475 --> 00:04:46,888
are nightmares and Don't ever want that to

137
00:04:46,888 --> 00:04:48,726
happen to me. At the end of the

138
00:04:48,726 --> 00:04:50,484
day, if you're wearing...

139
00:04:50,963 --> 00:04:53,120
If you're giving that much gravity to your

140
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,172
second overall. Pick,

141
00:04:55,765 --> 00:04:57,516
you you need to stop. Because I think

142
00:04:57,516 --> 00:04:59,904
the first... 1 of the first important lessons

143
00:04:59,904 --> 00:05:01,417
to learn is that you can build a

144
00:05:01,417 --> 00:05:04,698
champion she'll ship in multiple ways, the draft

145
00:05:04,698 --> 00:05:06,052
free agency trades,

146
00:05:07,167 --> 00:05:09,238
and how you do with your lineup decisions.

147
00:05:09,716 --> 00:05:11,332
And you can

148
00:05:11,723 --> 00:05:14,454
you... While it's very helpful to have

149
00:05:14,910 --> 00:05:17,460
hit on your early picks because they're supposedly

150
00:05:17,460 --> 00:05:18,256
your safest picks,

151
00:05:19,069 --> 00:05:21,706
if you're drafting strong everywhere else and building

152
00:05:21,706 --> 00:05:24,023
strong even if you suffer an injury or

153
00:05:24,023 --> 00:05:26,100
have a hold out to a prime time

154
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:28,420
player, as 1 of your top 2 picks,

155
00:05:28,737 --> 00:05:31,196
you can still win leagues. You can still

156
00:05:31,196 --> 00:05:34,147
build a successful team. So for me, you're

157
00:05:34,147 --> 00:05:35,659
looking at Cd lam, and you end up

158
00:05:35,659 --> 00:05:37,091
getting the discount on him.

159
00:05:37,886 --> 00:05:39,954
Because of all this, I would take it.

160
00:05:40,432 --> 00:05:43,399
I... I would definitely... I... I'm not gonna

161
00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:45,953
shy away from these players at this point.

162
00:05:47,150 --> 00:05:49,797
If if we get into August, and we

163
00:05:49,797 --> 00:05:52,893
start to see more rhetoric that says, he's

164
00:05:52,893 --> 00:05:54,163
prepared to set out the year,

165
00:05:54,957 --> 00:05:55,457
and

166
00:05:55,910 --> 00:05:58,584
there's some credible sources talking about that, and

167
00:05:59,181 --> 00:06:01,329
then, yeah, that's the time that maybe you

168
00:06:01,329 --> 00:06:03,556
abandon that. But right now at this stage,

169
00:06:04,033 --> 00:06:06,196
if you're drafting in in 1... League and

170
00:06:06,196 --> 00:06:08,659
it's right now or in the... Within the

171
00:06:08,659 --> 00:06:09,215
next month,

172
00:06:09,931 --> 00:06:11,997
I'm still gonna I'm still gonna take the

173
00:06:11,997 --> 00:06:13,825
player. Yeah. I think they're... You know, and

174
00:06:13,825 --> 00:06:15,430
there are some new nuance. On on all

175
00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:17,260
these situations. You know, like, you know, they

176
00:06:17,260 --> 00:06:18,692
ambiguous you with dev charts and roles. That's

177
00:06:18,692 --> 00:06:19,568
not happening in round?

178
00:06:20,204 --> 00:06:21,875
Yeah. That's later. And we're gonna talk about

179
00:06:21,875 --> 00:06:24,593
some situations here. It'll maybe be more illustrated

180
00:06:24,593 --> 00:06:26,732
of illustrative of that. But I think, like,

181
00:06:26,811 --> 00:06:28,000
in the case of Cd land. Like it...

182
00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:30,694
It makes you nervous. There's other really good

183
00:06:30,694 --> 00:06:32,698
guys. They're guys you could argue are wider

184
00:06:32,937 --> 00:06:36,282
Tomorrow Chase. Hi, Hill. I mean, Right. Or

185
00:06:36,362 --> 00:06:37,875
I'm pushing a little harder on Bi john

186
00:06:38,034 --> 00:06:39,946
Robinson in a brief hall. Maybe you take

187
00:06:39,946 --> 00:06:42,433
or what open to open day can make

188
00:06:42,433 --> 00:06:44,108
a run at Christian Mc mckay is running

189
00:06:44,108 --> 00:06:45,624
back 1. Whatever the case. I think Yeah.

190
00:06:45,863 --> 00:06:48,734
But but the other reminder is these...

191
00:06:49,532 --> 00:06:50,305
The public portion

192
00:06:50,901 --> 00:06:53,287
negotiations are always the most contentious portions. Yep.

193
00:06:53,606 --> 00:06:55,753
You will hear howling kicking screaming And I

194
00:06:55,753 --> 00:06:57,026
wanna say I have brought a branded. I

195
00:06:57,026 --> 00:06:58,710
have the 04:49 are famous for this. Right?

196
00:06:58,949 --> 00:07:00,459
Like we spent a whole off season in

197
00:07:00,459 --> 00:07:02,604
what 20 19 or 20 21 or what

198
00:07:02,604 --> 00:07:03,637
when was it with with

199
00:07:04,273 --> 00:07:07,391
with T Samuel. My years are 40 climbing

200
00:07:07,391 --> 00:07:09,704
together. Where he spent an entire off season

201
00:07:09,704 --> 00:07:11,140
saying, look, man. I'm not playing for these

202
00:07:11,140 --> 00:07:12,735
guys. I wanna trade. Let me out of

203
00:07:12,735 --> 00:07:14,809
here and they got the deal done eve

204
00:07:14,809 --> 00:07:16,498
of Trade camp. I believe it was anyone.

205
00:07:16,578 --> 00:07:17,292
That it was July,

206
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,550
July 30 first, They got the deal that

207
00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:22,297
he comes in last year San Francisco took

208
00:07:22,377 --> 00:07:23,274
Nick Bo

209
00:07:23,648 --> 00:07:25,415
all the way out to the first week

210
00:07:25,415 --> 00:07:27,014
of September before they got the deal done.

211
00:07:27,175 --> 00:07:29,334
This seems to be their style, and and

212
00:07:29,334 --> 00:07:31,574
everyone sounds really pissed off because probably they

213
00:07:31,574 --> 00:07:33,910
are, but the people behind the scenes are

214
00:07:33,910 --> 00:07:36,550
working and grinding away the negotiations and all

215
00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:38,069
of a sudden, the deals done and everybody's

216
00:07:38,069 --> 00:07:40,550
happy. The other thing is the, you know,

217
00:07:42,002 --> 00:07:45,435
the ruling is now that fines being charged

218
00:07:45,435 --> 00:07:47,749
players can't be forgiven them, but there's a

219
00:07:47,749 --> 00:07:49,745
loophole there. If you're on your rookie contract,

220
00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:52,959
you can give away with 5. So Yeah.

221
00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:54,560
They can be... They they can go away.

222
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,600
Players have G goes, the the people in

223
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,413
charge who are maybe not. Doing the fine

224
00:08:00,413 --> 00:08:02,491
details of the negotiation have Huge g goes.

225
00:08:03,130 --> 00:08:05,208
And they're gonna say thing... And the players

226
00:08:05,208 --> 00:08:06,726
are are young, and this is their first

227
00:08:06,726 --> 00:08:07,899
time doing... They're gonna proceed

228
00:08:08,577 --> 00:08:10,647
slight and hurts very quickly.

229
00:08:11,285 --> 00:08:13,515
And and I think that you have to

230
00:08:13,515 --> 00:08:15,586
understand that the people who are the adults

231
00:08:15,586 --> 00:08:18,231
in this situation, you've tend to just, like,

232
00:08:18,550 --> 00:08:20,065
they know these things are gonna be said,

233
00:08:20,385 --> 00:08:22,139
and they just smile and they look back

234
00:08:22,139 --> 00:08:24,054
and forth, and it's like, they're like, the

235
00:08:24,054 --> 00:08:25,808
sheep... They're like the sheep dog in the

236
00:08:25,808 --> 00:08:26,048
wolf.

237
00:08:27,179 --> 00:08:29,826
Who in the old warner Brothers cartoon that

238
00:08:30,042 --> 00:08:30,519
clock in,

239
00:08:31,314 --> 00:08:32,927
Exchange present pleasant,

240
00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:35,783
ask about the family, and then the go

241
00:08:35,783 --> 00:08:37,618
to war and then this lunch break and

242
00:08:37,618 --> 00:08:39,373
they have lunch together, and then they go

243
00:08:39,373 --> 00:08:40,888
back to war. This is how this works.

244
00:08:41,287 --> 00:08:42,962
Right. And, also, you know, that... You mentioned

245
00:08:42,962 --> 00:08:44,956
the nature that and it's something I always

246
00:08:44,956 --> 00:08:47,193
think about especially when, like, Cb come up

247
00:08:47,193 --> 00:08:49,413
and it's, like, the Union negotiating and it

248
00:08:49,413 --> 00:08:52,109
gets the league. Like, if you think players

249
00:08:52,109 --> 00:08:52,609
are

250
00:08:52,981 --> 00:08:55,857
especially open to being pushed around. That's not

251
00:08:55,857 --> 00:08:58,083
how their job works. Right? Their job is.

252
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,150
I'm aggressive. I'm gonna come kick your ass,

253
00:09:00,309 --> 00:09:02,296
and and there is no no inches are

254
00:09:02,296 --> 00:09:04,784
given Right? And so maybe that's the public

255
00:09:04,784 --> 00:09:07,098
stance on negotiations as well. So so I'm

256
00:09:07,098 --> 00:09:09,491
with you. I'm not panicking on contract situations

257
00:09:09,491 --> 00:09:11,020
for sure. And I think they tend to

258
00:09:11,020 --> 00:09:13,166
get ironed out. Like, there are players Are

259
00:09:13,166 --> 00:09:14,597
I like equal value. Like, I I feel

260
00:09:14,597 --> 00:09:16,505
like with the 49 in particular brand and

261
00:09:16,584 --> 00:09:18,810
I... We're drafting of it a ceiling anyway.

262
00:09:19,287 --> 00:09:20,980
Right? Like, I mean, what you're doing with

263
00:09:20,980 --> 00:09:22,659
every player in the first round. Don't don't

264
00:09:22,659 --> 00:09:23,860
get me wrong, but he's spoke a little

265
00:09:23,860 --> 00:09:26,259
later than that. Yeah. But he's going as

266
00:09:26,259 --> 00:09:27,139
wide receiver 12.

267
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:28,980
His best finish is well wide I receiver...

268
00:09:29,394 --> 00:09:32,115
13. Yeah. Right? So maybe he is why

269
00:09:32,115 --> 00:09:33,875
receiver 12. Maybe there are other guys at

270
00:09:33,875 --> 00:09:36,194
the Wide receiver 12, price the rage though

271
00:09:36,194 --> 00:09:38,366
that I'm a little bit kevin taking. Mike

272
00:09:38,526 --> 00:09:41,155
Evans, for example might be more appealing to

273
00:09:41,155 --> 00:09:41,634
me. So,

274
00:09:42,351 --> 00:09:44,024
for sure. So that's all part of the

275
00:09:44,024 --> 00:09:44,763
equation too

276
00:09:45,793 --> 00:09:47,945
yeah, you know, I try to shift out

277
00:09:47,945 --> 00:09:49,939
of my best ball mindset, which I'm in

278
00:09:49,939 --> 00:09:52,092
right now because, you know, that's more as

279
00:09:52,092 --> 00:09:55,136
much about portfolios and and who I'm in

280
00:09:55,136 --> 00:09:57,129
on and who I have heavy shares of

281
00:09:57,129 --> 00:09:59,601
who I'm underweight on. I mean, there's a

282
00:09:59,601 --> 00:10:01,036
lot more goes in it. I tried it

283
00:10:01,036 --> 00:10:03,205
under the... They gotta read on here. Yeah.

284
00:10:03,445 --> 00:10:05,684
You gotta put on, like, your your your

285
00:10:05,764 --> 00:10:07,605
Josh Norris wig,

286
00:10:08,004 --> 00:10:10,897
and, you know, and start drinking 1. Fine

287
00:10:10,897 --> 00:10:13,310
and, like, I do... And eating fine foods

288
00:10:13,367 --> 00:10:16,873
and traveling on jets and Go And, you

289
00:10:16,873 --> 00:10:17,032
know,

290
00:10:18,082 --> 00:10:20,860
screwing up the rams front office and whatever,

291
00:10:21,019 --> 00:10:22,289
You know, whatever he was doing.

292
00:10:22,925 --> 00:10:26,180
You know. But, you know, III would seen

293
00:10:26,180 --> 00:10:27,782
you in a Josh Norris Wig would be

294
00:10:27,782 --> 00:10:29,290
pretty funny. I think was that an Andy

295
00:10:29,369 --> 00:10:31,432
Bo benoit shot there with helping out the

296
00:10:31,511 --> 00:10:32,305
Rams? I think

297
00:10:32,940 --> 00:10:34,623
was that Andy that worked for Shaun Mc

298
00:10:34,623 --> 00:10:36,777
mckay. Oh, he did. But Josh was a

299
00:10:36,777 --> 00:10:37,734
an assistant of

300
00:10:38,452 --> 00:10:40,366
Got the intern... Was an intern with the

301
00:10:40,446 --> 00:10:41,881
Rams for a little bit That's right. That's

302
00:10:41,881 --> 00:10:43,397
back in Saint Louis, I think back in

303
00:10:43,397 --> 00:10:43,556
the.

304
00:10:44,687 --> 00:10:46,997
Yeah. I'm... So best, Rose, I'm with you,

305
00:10:47,236 --> 00:10:49,387
but also, you've got... You know, there there

306
00:10:49,387 --> 00:10:51,697
does come a point in the... And it's

307
00:10:51,697 --> 00:10:53,585
usually for me in August or you have

308
00:10:53,704 --> 00:10:55,699
to switch that mindset. And and for people

309
00:10:55,699 --> 00:10:57,216
out there who are just jumping in and

310
00:10:57,216 --> 00:10:58,652
getting back in, they're thinking what the hell

311
00:10:58,652 --> 00:11:00,807
are they talking about, never mind, Get ready

312
00:11:00,807 --> 00:11:02,654
for your read drafts and get is advice

313
00:11:02,654 --> 00:11:04,081
for you as you get ready for your

314
00:11:04,081 --> 00:11:06,246
red draft is Yeah. Don't over play these

315
00:11:06,301 --> 00:11:07,967
situations, no matter how loud and ugly they

316
00:11:07,967 --> 00:11:09,924
get. And if they do concern you, is

317
00:11:10,123 --> 00:11:11,954
there's probably gonna be another lane. You can

318
00:11:11,954 --> 00:11:13,863
avoid the pothole. If that's what you wanna

319
00:11:13,863 --> 00:11:15,534
do. Who's the the fact that you bring

320
00:11:15,534 --> 00:11:17,762
up, who's at their ceiling of value who's

321
00:11:17,762 --> 00:11:20,246
at their midpoint. Lose at their floor. Right.

322
00:11:20,644 --> 00:11:23,035
That... That's a that's a very important piece,

323
00:11:23,195 --> 00:11:24,390
and we're gonna talk a lot about that.

324
00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:26,622
I think coming up here. Alright. Let's move

325
00:11:26,622 --> 00:11:28,471
on to Google. A lot of chatter in

326
00:11:28,631 --> 00:11:30,088
Los Angeles, Ky Williams

327
00:11:30,625 --> 00:11:32,779
currently going as running back 8. There's a

328
00:11:32,779 --> 00:11:34,215
lot of players I like in that range

329
00:11:34,215 --> 00:11:36,248
and that a that that I've been drafting

330
00:11:36,547 --> 00:11:37,985
way more than Ky williams was the third

331
00:11:37,985 --> 00:11:40,383
round though, and we saw his ceiling last

332
00:11:40,383 --> 00:11:42,141
year was running back to, which he was

333
00:11:42,141 --> 00:11:44,093
over the last 5 games of the season

334
00:11:44,550 --> 00:11:46,383
as he got the 25 periods. And like,

335
00:11:46,542 --> 00:11:48,535
I'm a volume chaser. The concern is Blake

336
00:11:48,694 --> 00:11:51,299
Quorum, who I think is being wildly

337
00:11:51,817 --> 00:11:53,809
drafted right now. Even if I think Ky

338
00:11:53,889 --> 00:11:56,837
Williams is gonna suffer a bit. Blake quorum

339
00:11:56,837 --> 00:11:58,430
is currently going on under underdog.

340
00:11:58,924 --> 00:12:00,840
Running back 35 and around 9.

341
00:12:01,479 --> 00:12:03,554
I feel like that's, you know, like, I

342
00:12:03,714 --> 00:12:05,471
I agree with something that was posted on

343
00:12:05,471 --> 00:12:08,025
the website, the football guy's website, the contingent

344
00:12:08,025 --> 00:12:10,275
value is what everyone talks about if something

345
00:12:10,275 --> 00:12:10,595
happens.

346
00:12:11,233 --> 00:12:13,409
Like quorum is gonna get an 8 percent,

347
00:12:13,628 --> 00:12:15,863
you know, snap share. If something happens with

348
00:12:15,943 --> 00:12:18,433
Ky Williams. The question is, how worried are

349
00:12:18,433 --> 00:12:20,690
you of about him putting into that volume

350
00:12:20,989 --> 00:12:23,226
that was essential to Ky Williams last year?

351
00:12:23,466 --> 00:12:25,716
And are you buying Iron Williams at his

352
00:12:25,716 --> 00:12:28,667
current price. They're both overrated right now, and

353
00:12:28,826 --> 00:12:31,538
I think that really it's because the, you

354
00:12:31,538 --> 00:12:31,698
know,

355
00:12:33,213 --> 00:12:35,779
the the contingent you for Blake corn as

356
00:12:35,779 --> 00:12:37,691
you as you phrase it as very well,

357
00:12:38,807 --> 00:12:40,480
is a as a good point, and it's

358
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,327
1 of those things that we see All

359
00:12:42,327 --> 00:12:45,348
the time with the with the leading Russia

360
00:12:45,348 --> 00:12:47,892
who has a talented backup. Way back when

361
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:50,452
it was priest homes and Larry Johnson. I

362
00:12:50,452 --> 00:12:52,545
call this the priest holmes, Larry Johnson

363
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,152
situation where you take the town back and

364
00:12:55,152 --> 00:12:57,303
you draft him somewhere between rounds 8 and

365
00:12:57,303 --> 00:13:00,189
10. Even though he may have... No real

366
00:13:00,189 --> 00:13:00,689
value

367
00:13:01,787 --> 00:13:04,264
if the other guy continues to play like

368
00:13:04,264 --> 00:13:05,783
he did in previous years. Now this year

369
00:13:05,783 --> 00:13:07,541
it's a little different because when you look

370
00:13:07,541 --> 00:13:08,340
at Ky Williams,

371
00:13:09,554 --> 00:13:09,873
he's...

372
00:13:10,513 --> 00:13:12,351
I don't think he's gonna get treated like

373
00:13:12,351 --> 00:13:14,748
priest homes. Even though they're similar size, they're

374
00:13:14,748 --> 00:13:17,225
similar speed, You know, there... You could probably

375
00:13:17,225 --> 00:13:19,473
make the comparison. Between those 2 guys on

376
00:13:19,473 --> 00:13:20,748
a, at least on some level,

377
00:13:21,465 --> 00:13:24,254
where athletic, they don't unbelievably stand up, but

378
00:13:24,254 --> 00:13:27,600
they're smart runners. But I think that the

379
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,753
win they drafted

380
00:13:29,447 --> 00:13:29,765
corn,

381
00:13:30,403 --> 00:13:32,234
and the way they're talking about using Williams.

382
00:13:32,393 --> 00:13:34,225
They're gonna use Williams less as a runner

383
00:13:34,225 --> 00:13:36,216
and more as a receiver. He's still gonna

384
00:13:36,216 --> 00:13:38,083
lead... They're this team. But

385
00:13:38,696 --> 00:13:40,446
again, when I look at the fact as

386
00:13:40,446 --> 00:13:43,149
you mentioned the... Some of these players that

387
00:13:43,149 --> 00:13:45,376
are available are in the same range. If

388
00:13:45,376 --> 00:13:47,615
you want running back, their Henry's is getting

389
00:13:47,615 --> 00:13:50,629
drafted after Ky Williams. Like, how do you...

390
00:13:51,025 --> 00:13:51,501
III...

391
00:13:51,898 --> 00:13:54,649
I'm sorry. The the that magical number of

392
00:13:54,848 --> 00:13:55,167
30,

393
00:13:55,803 --> 00:13:57,712
Just scares the Be jesus out of people,

394
00:13:57,951 --> 00:14:00,019
But fuck that. It it really does. Like,

395
00:14:00,337 --> 00:14:01,451
it... Like, I wanted to say too that.

396
00:14:01,690 --> 00:14:03,122
Mean, the the the list of guys.

397
00:14:03,774 --> 00:14:06,411
Henry. It's Travis Junior, who... Even if I'm

398
00:14:06,411 --> 00:14:08,968
not a huge Et stan. I think Kim

399
00:14:08,968 --> 00:14:10,087
getting something set like.

400
00:14:12,165 --> 00:14:14,334
It's Josh Jacobs going after him. Isaiah Pac

401
00:14:14,334 --> 00:14:16,329
check going after him. Like, I'm into Joe

402
00:14:16,409 --> 00:14:18,963
Mix too. I mean, and. You've gotta carry

403
00:14:18,963 --> 00:14:21,446
that price into that factor. Well. You're now

404
00:14:21,446 --> 00:14:23,670
getting into, you know, the what the fifth

405
00:14:23,670 --> 00:14:25,361
sixth round for some of these guys

406
00:14:26,211 --> 00:14:28,117
and so... And I'm talking about mixing Rash

407
00:14:28,117 --> 00:14:28,689
rochelle white.

408
00:14:29,408 --> 00:14:31,405
Another 1 going after him, we're gonna talk

409
00:14:31,405 --> 00:14:33,003
about another 1 of these players. And if

410
00:14:33,003 --> 00:14:34,921
you don't wanna running back in round 1,

411
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,609
then get 1 of those. Other guys. I

412
00:14:36,609 --> 00:14:39,155
mean, Nico Collins is sitting there. Yep. A

413
00:14:39,155 --> 00:14:40,189
lava solid.

414
00:14:40,587 --> 00:14:42,257
You, you know, if you're looking for just

415
00:14:42,257 --> 00:14:44,977
a high floor, Da Adams. He's even with

416
00:14:44,977 --> 00:14:47,361
the quarterback back scenario there. Look at what

417
00:14:47,361 --> 00:14:49,746
they had last year and what Adams did.

418
00:14:50,063 --> 00:14:52,210
Right. You're still looking at strong value. Drake

419
00:14:52,369 --> 00:14:54,373
London if you wanted up in common Da

420
00:14:54,373 --> 00:14:56,289
von H chain who we should probably talk

421
00:14:56,289 --> 00:14:58,124
about down the line here. I think he's

422
00:14:58,124 --> 00:15:01,019
a little drafted, but he has a

423
00:15:01,876 --> 00:15:02,355
ceiling.

424
00:15:02,928 --> 00:15:03,805
Still awesome of. Yeah.

425
00:15:04,762 --> 00:15:06,117
I felt like that all. I felt like

426
00:15:06,117 --> 00:15:07,733
we've been drafting Von chan

427
00:15:08,110 --> 00:15:10,981
incorrectly, but but that's not a... That's only

428
00:15:10,981 --> 00:15:13,539
in reading draft for, you know, discussions. In

429
00:15:13,539 --> 00:15:14,413
best ball discussions.

430
00:15:15,207 --> 00:15:17,272
I want those weeks where he's gonna be

431
00:15:17,272 --> 00:15:18,940
that dominant force us, I want those, and

432
00:15:19,099 --> 00:15:20,542
I'm willing to spend up a little bit

433
00:15:20,542 --> 00:15:22,049
to get them. So I'm with you a

434
00:15:22,049 --> 00:15:23,398
hundred percent on ones. I think 1 of

435
00:15:23,398 --> 00:15:24,508
the things that, you know,

436
00:15:25,540 --> 00:15:27,523
I worry about, especially in red draft is

437
00:15:27,523 --> 00:15:28,513
the you

438
00:15:29,044 --> 00:15:31,264
I call the hand premium. There is a

439
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:33,325
price for players that are perceived to be

440
00:15:33,325 --> 00:15:33,825
these

441
00:15:34,197 --> 00:15:36,279
big premiums I could tell you, you know,

442
00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:38,519
is somebody who's seen many people pay that

443
00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:40,039
for a let's say an Alexander or Madison

444
00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:41,799
only to come up short. Yeah. You know?

445
00:15:41,959 --> 00:15:43,492
I mean, it's a perception. Right? A lot

446
00:15:43,492 --> 00:15:45,000
of the things we're drafting here are based

447
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,428
on our perceptions, but 1 of the things

448
00:15:46,428 --> 00:15:47,539
about the rams that, you know,

449
00:15:48,412 --> 00:15:50,316
we should be mindful. Sean Bay wants to

450
00:15:50,316 --> 00:15:52,325
lean a I'm 1 guy. I mean, he's

451
00:15:52,325 --> 00:15:54,240
told us this year in year out. I

452
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,634
to talk girly about this. You know? So

453
00:15:56,793 --> 00:15:59,279
I mean, this has been his pathway to

454
00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:02,167
success. But that said, last year, they lose

455
00:16:03,339 --> 00:16:05,090
Williams for a 4 game stretched with an

456
00:16:05,090 --> 00:16:06,857
ankle injury. They lost 3 of those games.

457
00:16:07,017 --> 00:16:08,692
They couldn't run the football. Yeah. When he

458
00:16:08,692 --> 00:16:10,287
was on the field, all the pieces worked,

459
00:16:10,447 --> 00:16:13,477
then Blake Quorum is addressing that absence. If

460
00:16:13,557 --> 00:16:14,057
Quorum

461
00:16:14,435 --> 00:16:16,603
fares well and does better in his better

462
00:16:16,603 --> 00:16:18,997
than, you know, we expect, it'll be a

463
00:16:18,997 --> 00:16:21,572
change from the norm. If he gets heavier

464
00:16:21,631 --> 00:16:22,131
usage

465
00:16:22,588 --> 00:16:24,859
as the change of pace or a backup

466
00:16:24,999 --> 00:16:26,437
than what we've seen? What was it last

467
00:16:26,437 --> 00:16:28,754
year for Royce Freeman. And who may not

468
00:16:28,754 --> 00:16:29,873
be a blank core, but it was, like,

469
00:16:30,033 --> 00:16:32,350
77, you know, turns. Right? I mean... They're

470
00:16:32,350 --> 00:16:34,040
not looking to force these guys in action.

471
00:16:34,517 --> 00:16:36,902
Will... That's true. And I would say, while

472
00:16:37,061 --> 00:16:39,526
Zach Evans is a very talented back in

473
00:16:39,526 --> 00:16:41,275
his own right, he didn't get that off.

474
00:16:41,609 --> 00:16:43,839
Opportunity. So that's an argument supporting what you're

475
00:16:43,839 --> 00:16:45,193
saying. At the same time,

476
00:16:45,910 --> 00:16:48,402
he is a Rookie, Mc doesn't like Rookie

477
00:16:49,032 --> 00:16:49,532
usually,

478
00:16:49,907 --> 00:16:52,158
and he also was known to be somewhat

479
00:16:52,772 --> 00:16:55,717
off field guy. Yeah. Ky Williams. So maybe

480
00:16:55,876 --> 00:16:58,438
Blake Cora, if Blake Ko gets significant plain

481
00:16:58,438 --> 00:17:01,780
time with his draft capital as well, then

482
00:17:01,780 --> 00:17:03,315
you're gonna know that Mc

483
00:17:03,850 --> 00:17:05,123
behind a lot of this. So it's not

484
00:17:05,123 --> 00:17:06,254
just the g pick.

485
00:17:07,293 --> 00:17:09,291
So we'll see. So there's 1 that I

486
00:17:09,291 --> 00:17:10,969
feel like is or 1 are these running

487
00:17:10,969 --> 00:17:12,008
back to is We're gonna talk about it

488
00:17:12,008 --> 00:17:13,366
a couple more here, but we'll start with

489
00:17:13,366 --> 00:17:15,204
this 1 that I feel like totally owns

490
00:17:15,204 --> 00:17:17,215
some certain about. Kenneth Walker in third, I

491
00:17:17,215 --> 00:17:18,892
think is, like, not at a bad value.

492
00:17:19,131 --> 00:17:21,446
He's running back 16 on best right now

493
00:17:21,446 --> 00:17:24,375
on underdog going in around 7. Zach Char

494
00:17:24,654 --> 00:17:27,610
going in round 12 is running back 41

495
00:17:27,610 --> 00:17:28,809
right at the 11:12 range.

496
00:17:29,847 --> 00:17:30,966
We don't know what the hell is gonna

497
00:17:30,966 --> 00:17:32,419
go on here. It's new coaching day staff,

498
00:17:32,817 --> 00:17:35,129
Ryan Gru comes in coming off a run

499
00:17:35,129 --> 00:17:37,122
in Washington is the offensive coordinator with Mike

500
00:17:37,281 --> 00:17:38,875
Mcdonald's a. Coach. Know I'm thinking about the

501
00:17:38,875 --> 00:17:41,517
coordinator your people because Who we're interested in.

502
00:17:42,787 --> 00:17:45,487
A super past heavy attack. I think they

503
00:17:45,487 --> 00:17:47,075
threw the ball had a higher drop back

504
00:17:47,075 --> 00:17:49,159
rate in Washington for the past Husky last

505
00:17:49,159 --> 00:17:50,677
year. And any other team they played at

506
00:17:50,677 --> 00:17:52,754
a much faster pace too or they did

507
00:17:52,754 --> 00:17:55,231
in Washington, Sea hawk have. And the Sea

508
00:17:55,231 --> 00:17:55,871
hawk haven't been,

509
00:17:56,924 --> 00:17:58,783
What you would call Pass half under

510
00:17:59,641 --> 00:18:02,038
under pete Carol, the the who who were

511
00:18:02,038 --> 00:18:04,515
last 4. It was Shane W. And then

512
00:18:04,515 --> 00:18:05,802
before the that we have Brian Sc oppenheimer.

513
00:18:05,961 --> 00:18:07,709
Right? Yeah. Pete Carroll wanted to run the

514
00:18:07,709 --> 00:18:09,616
football? Or we gonna see similar value or

515
00:18:09,616 --> 00:18:11,444
should we expect similar value out of this

516
00:18:11,444 --> 00:18:13,603
back that and are we drafting these 2

517
00:18:13,603 --> 00:18:15,983
players correctly right now in best ball? I

518
00:18:15,983 --> 00:18:18,364
think they're starting to fall a little... They're

519
00:18:18,364 --> 00:18:20,427
they've been slowly sliding, and I think they're

520
00:18:20,427 --> 00:18:22,376
gonna con... Need to slide a little bit

521
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:23,392
if you ask me,

522
00:18:25,226 --> 00:18:26,981
as camp goes on and they start talking

523
00:18:26,981 --> 00:18:28,975
up the the value of this passing offense

524
00:18:28,975 --> 00:18:30,490
and how much volume they're gonna do as

525
00:18:30,490 --> 00:18:32,497
a pass in offense. But Walker to me

526
00:18:32,497 --> 00:18:34,728
is probably the best value as the receiving

527
00:18:34,728 --> 00:18:36,560
back. I'm in Char is not bad, but

528
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,349
walker in space is a more compelling player.

529
00:18:40,146 --> 00:18:40,799
That's in said,

530
00:18:42,159 --> 00:18:44,720
I think that he's the type of player

531
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:45,220
whose

532
00:18:45,679 --> 00:18:47,440
upside is limited by Char a.

533
00:18:48,172 --> 00:18:50,582
And limited by his offense. So

534
00:18:51,116 --> 00:18:53,343
looking at the players around him that I'm

535
00:18:53,343 --> 00:18:54,297
seeing around him,

536
00:18:54,949 --> 00:18:57,733
guys like maybe Tank del, Alvin,

537
00:18:58,846 --> 00:18:59,824
Dalton Kin.

538
00:19:00,517 --> 00:19:02,281
Somebody named Anthony Richard, richardson,

539
00:19:03,471 --> 00:19:05,932
you know, George Pick, Keen and Allen.

540
00:19:06,488 --> 00:19:09,027
Those are guys that all sound as or

541
00:19:09,186 --> 00:19:09,996
Mo appealing,

542
00:19:11,269 --> 00:19:14,712
and have maybe higher ceilings in their respective

543
00:19:15,007 --> 00:19:15,405
offenses,

544
00:19:16,121 --> 00:19:18,993
re of to their position, then maybe what

545
00:19:18,993 --> 00:19:21,770
can walker offers with Char a and this

546
00:19:21,770 --> 00:19:24,409
new offensive change. I think Walt gonna be

547
00:19:24,409 --> 00:19:27,445
an okay running back to with some strong

548
00:19:27,445 --> 00:19:27,684
weeks,

549
00:19:28,323 --> 00:19:30,960
but I don't think that he has... I

550
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,966
don't think his ceiling is running back 1

551
00:19:32,966 --> 00:19:35,376
territory whereas. All those other guys I mentioned

552
00:19:35,513 --> 00:19:39,595
have top 12, maybe even top 5 ceilings,

553
00:19:41,005 --> 00:19:42,078
because with

554
00:19:42,455 --> 00:19:44,369
what they could what could happen in their

555
00:19:44,369 --> 00:19:45,485
office offense and their ability.

556
00:19:46,681 --> 00:19:47,181
So

557
00:19:47,798 --> 00:19:48,994
you bring up out in Camaro who's is

558
00:19:48,994 --> 00:19:50,132
a player. I'm increasingly

559
00:19:50,684 --> 00:19:53,081
intrigued by. He... There's contractor discussions with him.

560
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,637
Clint K comes over from San Francisco everywhere

561
00:19:55,637 --> 00:19:58,928
that's San Francisco, Mc all those offense, you

562
00:19:58,928 --> 00:20:01,086
know, move out through they end up with

563
00:20:01,086 --> 00:20:02,684
get really good results We're expecting the same

564
00:20:02,684 --> 00:20:04,522
in Atlanta with Zach Robinson moving from the

565
00:20:04,522 --> 00:20:06,520
rams to the Falcon. Clint Qb from the

566
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,295
49

567
00:20:07,891 --> 00:20:09,641
and and in Alvin Cabrera, I think the

568
00:20:09,641 --> 00:20:11,471
thing overlooked last year. He missed... He was

569
00:20:11,471 --> 00:20:13,459
sped 3 games. After to a little slow

570
00:20:13,459 --> 00:20:16,492
start with working behind a ragged ass offensive

571
00:20:16,492 --> 00:20:19,349
wine. Yeah. That has been upgraded. But if

572
00:20:19,349 --> 00:20:21,888
we're expecting kind of a semi, you know,

573
00:20:22,841 --> 00:20:26,267
working C ish treatment or usage, Rob Ka

574
00:20:26,267 --> 00:20:27,774
camaro, the weeks he played he was still,

575
00:20:27,932 --> 00:20:29,757
I wanna say in the top 10 and

576
00:20:29,757 --> 00:20:30,729
point per game,

577
00:20:31,368 --> 00:20:33,525
A. So, I'm not giving up on him.

578
00:20:33,684 --> 00:20:35,043
He's a player that we'll be talking about

579
00:20:35,123 --> 00:20:37,220
More. As we get closer to the season

580
00:20:37,533 --> 00:20:39,045
the do I wanna talk about that hasn't

581
00:20:39,045 --> 00:20:40,955
had hasn't been discussed widely that I think

582
00:20:40,955 --> 00:20:44,058
were not necessarily drafting correctly. James Connor are

583
00:20:44,058 --> 00:20:45,987
running back 20. Going into the seventh round

584
00:20:46,067 --> 00:20:48,701
Trade Benson running back 31 going in round

585
00:20:48,701 --> 00:20:48,940
8.

586
00:20:49,898 --> 00:20:52,453
I think that gap is closer than it's

587
00:20:52,453 --> 00:20:53,831
going to be in real life

588
00:20:54,303 --> 00:20:55,978
health for Connor. Right? Like... And we all

589
00:20:55,978 --> 00:20:57,813
know. I hear you out there. He all

590
00:20:57,813 --> 00:20:59,089
these mister Todd. By.

591
00:20:59,488 --> 00:21:01,482
Okay. Yes. He a lot of players miss

592
00:21:01,482 --> 00:21:03,795
time. James Connor coming off a career best

593
00:21:03,795 --> 00:21:06,361
sea and however, and all the talk is

594
00:21:06,361 --> 00:21:06,839
this week,

595
00:21:07,716 --> 00:21:10,368
people talking Johnny Van, I think in in

596
00:21:10,745 --> 00:21:13,153
speaking in Arizona covers dean club closely. Says

597
00:21:13,233 --> 00:21:14,832
James Connor is the locked in starter. Don't

598
00:21:14,832 --> 00:21:16,749
think that's changing. Trey Benson is the is

599
00:21:16,749 --> 00:21:18,747
the heir Apparent. He's the guy in waiting.

600
00:21:18,987 --> 00:21:20,425
I think that's totally true. There's things about

601
00:21:20,505 --> 00:21:22,275
Trey Benson Find very appealing. You know what

602
00:21:22,275 --> 00:21:24,508
they are is the... It's the cleavage that

603
00:21:24,667 --> 00:21:27,698
I love. Yep. That works get away from

604
00:21:27,698 --> 00:21:28,336
that. Yep.

605
00:21:29,372 --> 00:21:32,182
But What, keep Eyes up. Bob, Dick keep

606
00:21:32,182 --> 00:21:34,500
eyes off the feet my, man. Yeah. That

607
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:37,557
said, that said, I I think James Connor

608
00:21:37,616 --> 00:21:38,116
ridiculously

609
00:21:38,575 --> 00:21:41,211
well priced. Yeah. Without a doubt. I mean,

610
00:21:41,846 --> 00:21:43,751
if you play at least 13 games,

611
00:21:44,624 --> 00:21:46,291
you're doing pretty good as a running back

612
00:21:46,291 --> 00:21:48,237
in the Nfl, I know everybody wants 17,

613
00:21:48,772 --> 00:21:50,760
but come on. He's played at least 13

614
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,669
games since his last year in Pittsburgh.

615
00:21:53,385 --> 00:21:55,018
And He's averaged

616
00:21:55,957 --> 00:21:58,294
at this 0.1010

617
00:21:58,354 --> 00:22:00,192
touchdown even though he's... 1 of them was

618
00:22:00,192 --> 00:22:02,998
an an inflated 15 touch down season. He's

619
00:22:02,998 --> 00:22:05,063
had no worse than 7 in the past

620
00:22:05,063 --> 00:22:07,470
3 years, and he's giving you

621
00:22:07,843 --> 00:22:10,226
quality receiving stats most of the time. Now

622
00:22:10,226 --> 00:22:12,237
that's gonna a chain. He's been really... Since

623
00:22:12,237 --> 00:22:14,154
he's been in Arizona, he's been no worse

624
00:22:14,154 --> 00:22:16,391
than a than a mid range running back

625
00:22:16,391 --> 00:22:18,954
to. Yep. And a And so you're getting

626
00:22:19,113 --> 00:22:20,010
James Connor

627
00:22:20,384 --> 00:22:21,202
right now

628
00:22:21,814 --> 00:22:24,038
as a low end running back too. So

629
00:22:24,038 --> 00:22:25,626
you're getting them middle of value. Now you

630
00:22:25,626 --> 00:22:27,310
could... At some of the other players around

631
00:22:27,310 --> 00:22:29,457
him, but I look at... You're... When you

632
00:22:29,457 --> 00:22:31,365
talk about good value. I mean, I look

633
00:22:31,365 --> 00:22:33,194
at this list, There's Kyle Murray, There's a

634
00:22:33,194 --> 00:22:35,102
lot of players after him that are compelling.

635
00:22:35,420 --> 00:22:38,299
Look The Andre Hopkins who I think will

636
00:22:38,299 --> 00:22:39,810
continue to fall a little bit when the

637
00:22:39,890 --> 00:22:41,878
Calvin Ridley Noise comes up in camp and

638
00:22:41,878 --> 00:22:43,908
they talk about how... Fast he is and

639
00:22:44,208 --> 00:22:46,285
and how explosive he is and then Hopkins

640
00:22:46,285 --> 00:22:48,442
ends up being the main guy. He might

641
00:22:48,442 --> 00:22:50,120
be the only other contender on this list.

642
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,446
Because Amir fight to me. Right. They're gonna

643
00:22:52,446 --> 00:22:54,913
take him out and pass situations. Jordan Addison,

644
00:22:55,231 --> 00:22:58,256
who's throwing them the football, you know, good,

645
00:22:58,494 --> 00:23:00,380
but how much... How high is the fight

646
00:23:00,499 --> 00:23:03,131
feeling gonna be same with Johnson, and then

647
00:23:03,131 --> 00:23:05,842
you have Ferguson and Then and Tony Poll.

648
00:23:06,241 --> 00:23:08,873
Really? I'll take I'll take Connor. The real

649
00:23:08,873 --> 00:23:10,964
question that we should be asking, I think

650
00:23:10,964 --> 00:23:13,384
in this isn't whether James Connor

651
00:23:13,924 --> 00:23:16,964
and Trey Benson should be equal value. It's

652
00:23:16,964 --> 00:23:19,859
whether Michael Carter has more value than Trey

653
00:23:20,019 --> 00:23:20,419
Benson.

654
00:23:21,139 --> 00:23:21,639
Because

655
00:23:22,179 --> 00:23:25,859
Michael Carter is an excellent receiving bag Yes

656
00:23:25,859 --> 00:23:28,339
who can block and is better between the

657
00:23:28,339 --> 00:23:30,899
tata and you'd expect. And they like him.

658
00:23:31,138 --> 00:23:32,807
And I think that they just know he's

659
00:23:32,807 --> 00:23:34,397
not in every down back,

660
00:23:35,033 --> 00:23:37,272
and Benson sends his week because points are

661
00:23:37,272 --> 00:23:38,248
running routes

662
00:23:38,701 --> 00:23:41,558
and past protection, and then you've got the

663
00:23:41,558 --> 00:23:43,542
decision making acumen that goes with it.

664
00:23:44,273 --> 00:23:46,977
Michael Carter is probably relative to these guys

665
00:23:46,977 --> 00:23:49,148
as free money that I would be taking

666
00:23:49,523 --> 00:23:51,432
as kind of a late hedge if I

667
00:23:51,432 --> 00:23:52,625
want to or off the waiver or why?

668
00:23:53,754 --> 00:23:56,461
Very early once he started charles. Look at

669
00:23:56,461 --> 00:23:57,416
what happens when

670
00:23:58,053 --> 00:23:59,804
look at Trey Benson, and he didn't get

671
00:23:59,804 --> 00:24:02,293
any touches or barely any snaps and Michael

672
00:24:02,430 --> 00:24:04,997
carter not snapping them. Right. Michael car that

673
00:24:04,997 --> 00:24:06,752
guy that comes in, you know, with a

674
00:24:06,752 --> 00:24:08,927
history of shared back fields

675
00:24:09,384 --> 00:24:10,363
super productive

676
00:24:10,899 --> 00:24:13,230
teammate with Monte Williams. Think they both had

677
00:24:13,230 --> 00:24:15,869
a thousand yards their final season and and

678
00:24:15,869 --> 00:24:18,029
a big play making threat too. So we're

679
00:24:18,029 --> 00:24:20,450
noting that Wall well placed, sir. He's

680
00:24:20,990 --> 00:24:22,992
wave. I quality, you know?

681
00:24:24,657 --> 00:24:26,163
I, like, I I do like Trade benson

682
00:24:26,163 --> 00:24:27,694
and a lot, but I I think also

683
00:24:27,749 --> 00:24:29,668
that this is... He's more of a down

684
00:24:29,668 --> 00:24:31,262
the road play. Isaiah likely.

685
00:24:32,058 --> 00:24:33,732
I think, like, I look at his prices

686
00:24:33,732 --> 00:24:36,202
tied in 23 right now. Right? And like,

687
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,875
I don't know that that's wrong, but I

688
00:24:37,875 --> 00:24:39,070
look at a lot of the guys going

689
00:24:39,070 --> 00:24:40,677
ahead of them, and I feel like, man,

690
00:24:40,836 --> 00:24:43,383
If Todd monkey actually takes and, you know,

691
00:24:43,543 --> 00:24:45,931
uses more of the 12 person, we've seen

692
00:24:45,931 --> 00:24:48,095
him do, like, a charge of, he led

693
00:24:48,095 --> 00:24:50,007
the nation in 2 tied in sets. If

694
00:24:50,007 --> 00:24:52,714
we see more of that with Isaiah likely

695
00:24:52,714 --> 00:24:55,262
working alongside Mark Andrews, you're gonna get better

696
00:24:55,262 --> 00:24:58,086
than tie 23 value. Is there any standalone

697
00:24:58,143 --> 00:24:59,417
value ties a like.

698
00:25:01,806 --> 00:25:04,368
There could be. There could be 20 it

699
00:25:04,368 --> 00:25:06,356
might be a good play, but when you

700
00:25:06,356 --> 00:25:08,584
think about the players around him, Tyler Con,

701
00:25:09,141 --> 00:25:09,618
Yeah

702
00:25:10,016 --> 00:25:11,544
Better. Is... Yeah. I like him better too.

703
00:25:11,704 --> 00:25:13,542
He's a he's a very good man to

704
00:25:13,542 --> 00:25:16,259
man route specialist with a top quarterback who

705
00:25:16,259 --> 00:25:18,017
who knows how to target tie ends like

706
00:25:18,017 --> 00:25:20,346
this. Then he got... Thinking of a Rookie

707
00:25:20,346 --> 00:25:22,495
like German Burton who can really have a

708
00:25:22,495 --> 00:25:23,211
high ceiling.

709
00:25:24,643 --> 00:25:27,363
So I I look at players. I I

710
00:25:27,363 --> 00:25:28,181
mean there's not

711
00:25:29,033 --> 00:25:30,385
likely on the list,

712
00:25:31,181 --> 00:25:33,487
but I think that even like Tyson Hill

713
00:25:33,487 --> 00:25:35,635
just a little bit earlier. You know Ty

714
00:25:35,809 --> 00:25:37,886
Ends gonna be featured in that that New

715
00:25:38,046 --> 00:25:39,884
Orleans office offense with Clint K,

716
00:25:40,283 --> 00:25:43,252
and Hills playing more of that then that

717
00:25:43,412 --> 00:25:45,484
Garrett Graham, Owen Daniels,

718
00:25:46,122 --> 00:25:48,354
aging myself, role of, like, the guy out

719
00:25:48,354 --> 00:25:50,129
of the back who's like

720
00:25:51,475 --> 00:25:54,096
a use check maybe, but you know that's

721
00:25:54,096 --> 00:25:56,321
gonna get play in the red zone. Right.

722
00:25:56,639 --> 00:25:58,163
He's gonna get more usage. I think know

723
00:25:58,163 --> 00:26:00,546
is the, you know, probably some plays under

724
00:26:00,546 --> 00:26:02,294
set. Like, I feel like there is a

725
00:26:02,294 --> 00:26:04,915
range of tied end twos that I'm drafting

726
00:26:04,915 --> 00:26:06,369
that I have a hard time and

727
00:26:07,235 --> 00:26:09,621
leagues where he is available as a tied

728
00:26:09,621 --> 00:26:11,290
end. It's not every platform that he is.

729
00:26:11,450 --> 00:26:13,517
But in platforms where he is tight and

730
00:26:13,517 --> 00:26:13,915
eligible,

731
00:26:14,630 --> 00:26:16,221
I could make a really strong argument for

732
00:26:16,221 --> 00:26:17,827
taste some hill over a hell of a

733
00:26:17,827 --> 00:26:19,259
lot of guys at to tied in 2

734
00:26:19,259 --> 00:26:21,429
spot just because he's gonna get those meaty

735
00:26:21,486 --> 00:26:22,838
opportunities. Some of those, you know,

736
00:26:23,713 --> 00:26:26,438
you know, shotgun court max situation in the

737
00:26:26,438 --> 00:26:27,637
red zone where he's just there to run

738
00:26:27,637 --> 00:26:29,236
it in. I mean, it's there's a lot

739
00:26:29,236 --> 00:26:30,674
to like about. I got feel it or

740
00:26:30,674 --> 00:26:32,033
fuck it for you. What do you think?

741
00:26:32,512 --> 00:26:34,190
Are you feeling the idea that maybe all

742
00:26:34,190 --> 00:26:36,125
this talk about ice... Isaiah likely so that

743
00:26:36,125 --> 00:26:37,005
they can trade him.

744
00:26:37,884 --> 00:26:41,265
Because Charlie Ko is no likely, but he's

745
00:26:41,325 --> 00:26:43,098
more of a... He's more of them Mark

746
00:26:43,497 --> 00:26:45,647
Andrews who can block a little bit better

747
00:26:45,647 --> 00:26:48,036
and is good in zone. And maybe they

748
00:26:48,036 --> 00:26:50,425
feel like, maybe we can get something for

749
00:26:50,425 --> 00:26:53,153
likely or maybe they trademark they trade Andrews

750
00:26:53,153 --> 00:26:55,790
and keep coal in that in that capacity.

751
00:26:56,430 --> 00:26:58,667
The younger guys. Yeah. I don't know. But

752
00:26:58,827 --> 00:26:59,067
I mean,

753
00:27:00,026 --> 00:27:01,440
I I don't know if I'm feeling that

754
00:27:01,559 --> 00:27:03,305
but I'm just wondering... You know, I thought

755
00:27:03,384 --> 00:27:04,655
I'd throw that up there to see what

756
00:27:04,655 --> 00:27:04,893
you thought.

757
00:27:05,687 --> 00:27:06,798
I'm gonna... You know, I like I looked

758
00:27:06,798 --> 00:27:09,100
at it number likely caught, was targeting 40.

759
00:27:09,274 --> 00:27:11,337
Time get 5 touchdown on 40 targets. That's

760
00:27:11,337 --> 00:27:12,766
pretty good. I think the key for me

761
00:27:12,766 --> 00:27:15,225
is how much they actually follow through with

762
00:27:15,225 --> 00:27:16,549
the whole idea And by the way, time

763
00:27:16,989 --> 00:27:19,303
He has talked about learning all the receiving

764
00:27:19,303 --> 00:27:21,059
positions, not just tied end, but working in

765
00:27:21,059 --> 00:27:22,735
various places in the slot out of the

766
00:27:22,735 --> 00:27:23,235
back

767
00:27:23,693 --> 00:27:24,012
etcetera,

768
00:27:24,810 --> 00:27:26,981
splitting out out wide. So he's been working

769
00:27:26,981 --> 00:27:27,380
all that.

770
00:27:28,577 --> 00:27:30,813
But I wonder if at some point, Ravens

771
00:27:30,813 --> 00:27:32,888
used 12 personnel 11 percent of the time

772
00:27:32,888 --> 00:27:34,485
last year, and. Right. And that was, like,

773
00:27:34,565 --> 00:27:35,059
really low.

774
00:27:35,700 --> 00:27:39,000
That's not what Monk did in his previous

775
00:27:39,059 --> 00:27:40,980
stops. Right? That's... I mean, like, if you

776
00:27:40,980 --> 00:27:43,220
go back to Georgia, that's about all they

777
00:27:43,220 --> 00:27:46,192
did. Right? They lu nation. But let's but

778
00:27:46,192 --> 00:27:48,189
let's ask you this? Who do they have

779
00:27:48,189 --> 00:27:49,808
it running back last year

780
00:27:50,187 --> 00:27:52,319
and And how often were they running Well

781
00:27:52,439 --> 00:27:54,905
12 before Jk k Do got hurt in

782
00:27:54,905 --> 00:27:57,371
the first half. That would be interesting to

783
00:27:57,371 --> 00:27:59,335
see if they were going 12 heavy against

784
00:27:59,533 --> 00:28:01,755
t in that first game. And then when

785
00:28:01,755 --> 00:28:04,136
that didn't work out and he got hurt,

786
00:28:04,612 --> 00:28:06,516
they just were like, let's do more 11

787
00:28:06,516 --> 00:28:07,469
because we gotta get our purse...

788
00:28:08,118 --> 00:28:10,735
Our best personnel on the field or more

789
00:28:10,735 --> 00:28:13,114
10 and 11 personnel. And maybe this year,

790
00:28:13,352 --> 00:28:15,944
maybe they do go to more of our

791
00:28:16,304 --> 00:28:18,938
hybrid attack because with Derek Henry having that

792
00:28:18,938 --> 00:28:20,156
extra gap with him

793
00:28:20,774 --> 00:28:23,808
is it could be devastating for run defenses.

794
00:28:24,686 --> 00:28:26,296
Okay. I have we're all fucking on. No,

795
00:28:26,614 --> 00:28:28,765
Isaiah likely having any standalone value. And never

796
00:28:28,765 --> 00:28:31,098
the nonsensical question almost, But I do think

797
00:28:31,235 --> 00:28:33,163
metallic. Oh, I like this. I I don't...

798
00:28:33,403 --> 00:28:34,599
I don't... You know, like, I think it,

799
00:28:34,998 --> 00:28:37,631
I do think, like, it's... To me, he's

800
00:28:37,631 --> 00:28:39,067
priced right to be a handcuffs for Mark.

801
00:28:39,546 --> 00:28:41,310
Like, if that's you're not paying a hank

802
00:28:41,310 --> 00:28:43,637
of premium here. Right? You're not paying

803
00:28:44,010 --> 00:28:45,995
any extra because he's the guy and we've

804
00:28:45,995 --> 00:28:47,742
seen what he can do with, Andrews. Who's

805
00:28:47,742 --> 00:28:48,115
still

806
00:28:48,553 --> 00:28:50,547
Who's the third receiver in Baltimore?

807
00:28:51,743 --> 00:28:52,940
Right now is it not

808
00:28:53,738 --> 00:28:56,130
And that's my point. Nelson Ag. Yeah. That's

809
00:28:56,130 --> 00:28:59,098
my point. Nelson Ag or Likely. Right now,

810
00:28:59,258 --> 00:29:01,256
I would say, I pretty even. I'd go

811
00:29:01,256 --> 00:29:03,973
a little more towards likely. And so that's

812
00:29:03,973 --> 00:29:04,452
possible.

813
00:29:04,932 --> 00:29:06,690
Since you brought that up, we're shot M

814
00:29:06,770 --> 00:29:09,592
Wipes over 74. That seems insanely cheap for

815
00:29:09,728 --> 00:29:12,113
a a guy who's likely starting receiver on

816
00:29:12,113 --> 00:29:13,942
an Nfl team even if you think derek

817
00:29:14,022 --> 00:29:15,389
Henry's is gonna run the ball. Every 3

818
00:29:15,389 --> 00:29:17,789
single snap. They're gonna throw some Z flowers

819
00:29:17,789 --> 00:29:19,710
there. I realized that as Abatement of free

820
00:29:19,710 --> 00:29:21,789
square player they're just, like, not enough upside

821
00:29:21,789 --> 00:29:23,525
there for you to have any so fucking

822
00:29:23,564 --> 00:29:26,270
no. I'm totally into getting rash abatement at

823
00:29:26,270 --> 00:29:28,419
the current value. I probably take them little

824
00:29:28,419 --> 00:29:30,568
everybody. We mentioned other than maybe German burton.

825
00:29:30,727 --> 00:29:32,972
And I problem... Even consider him over burton

826
00:29:32,972 --> 00:29:35,123
in a lot of my drafts just because

827
00:29:35,123 --> 00:29:36,716
he's so good after the catch. He's a

828
00:29:36,716 --> 00:29:39,424
good route runner. He he just had some

829
00:29:39,424 --> 00:29:42,308
injury and they had some system issues. I

830
00:29:42,308 --> 00:29:44,540
think that they've made a sec... They've made

831
00:29:44,540 --> 00:29:46,612
an investment in him this year. It's to

832
00:29:46,612 --> 00:29:48,685
kind of reinvest in the idea that this

833
00:29:48,685 --> 00:29:50,525
kind I can be a thing. And I

834
00:29:50,525 --> 00:29:52,192
and I I think we've seen moments where

835
00:29:52,192 --> 00:29:52,827
that's happened.

836
00:29:53,462 --> 00:29:56,812
So I'm I'm buying into that Id. And

837
00:29:56,971 --> 00:29:58,641
I know that I'm not alone. I know

838
00:29:58,641 --> 00:30:01,028
there's a certain guy who's who looks like

839
00:30:01,028 --> 00:30:03,198
he's trying to train to become a defensive

840
00:30:03,429 --> 00:30:04,145
in Matt Harmon.

841
00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:07,009
I've seen certain recent pictures of an I'm

842
00:30:07,009 --> 00:30:08,362
going, Matt Harmon. And what are you doing,

843
00:30:08,601 --> 00:30:10,351
Man? Like you're... I thought you were a

844
00:30:10,351 --> 00:30:12,181
wide receiver. You're woken up to be a

845
00:30:12,181 --> 00:30:14,291
defense in. I mean, it's he's getting muscular

846
00:30:14,350 --> 00:30:14,749
over there.

847
00:30:15,787 --> 00:30:17,383
You know not a damn protein. You all

848
00:30:17,383 --> 00:30:19,618
that damn protein, but he likes a he

849
00:30:19,618 --> 00:30:21,135
likes rash shot bat too. I don't think

850
00:30:21,135 --> 00:30:22,029
he got any...

851
00:30:22,990 --> 00:30:24,430
I don't think he's lost faith in the

852
00:30:24,430 --> 00:30:25,950
guy. I think he's still open to the

853
00:30:25,950 --> 00:30:27,710
idea, especially with the price. I mean, are

854
00:30:27,710 --> 00:30:29,710
you really gonna take their car over Rash

855
00:30:29,710 --> 00:30:32,115
rochelle Bat. You know, maybe you take Tyler

856
00:30:32,275 --> 00:30:34,107
Con in a 1 point. It depends on

857
00:30:34,107 --> 00:30:36,657
my Sa at best small, Bob. Yeah. That's

858
00:30:36,657 --> 00:30:38,968
right. There we go. But I... I would

859
00:30:38,968 --> 00:30:40,576
definitely consider I think it's a good deal

860
00:30:40,735 --> 00:30:42,567
I'm feeling it. Alright. Let's talk about some

861
00:30:42,567 --> 00:30:44,001
of the guys that I mentioned at the

862
00:30:44,001 --> 00:30:46,732
top of this podcast, the 15 fantasy prospects

863
00:30:47,108 --> 00:30:48,861
under the Adp radar, the drop.

864
00:30:49,751 --> 00:30:52,217
It's a kids say on the football guys

865
00:30:52,217 --> 00:30:54,683
dot com website. And we're not gonna go

866
00:30:54,683 --> 00:30:55,637
through all them, but I didn't wanna touch

867
00:30:55,637 --> 00:30:58,281
on some Out interesting Bra Allen first and

868
00:30:58,281 --> 00:31:00,512
foremost. He's currently running back 58,

869
00:31:00,910 --> 00:31:02,743
tell us what you think about his prospects.

870
00:31:02,982 --> 00:31:04,496
Yeah. I mean, I'm not in love with

871
00:31:04,655 --> 00:31:07,140
Bra Allen as a stand. Own prospect, I

872
00:31:07,140 --> 00:31:09,211
think that he's kind of a player who

873
00:31:09,211 --> 00:31:11,442
has a lot of positives, but they're kind

874
00:31:11,442 --> 00:31:13,615
of fragmented in his game and he hasn't

875
00:31:13,673 --> 00:31:16,319
completely integrated them yet. But if he can,

876
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,359
he could become, you know, probably 1 of

877
00:31:19,359 --> 00:31:22,720
the more dominant producers at his position, and

878
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,356
in any given year. And the offensive line

879
00:31:25,356 --> 00:31:27,260
on paper looks good for the jets if

880
00:31:27,260 --> 00:31:29,561
it can stay healthy. That's a big if.

881
00:31:29,719 --> 00:31:32,116
But with Aaron Rogers and tow you're gonna

882
00:31:32,116 --> 00:31:34,105
be able to dictate to defense a little

883
00:31:34,105 --> 00:31:35,616
bit more and that helps the run game.

884
00:31:35,775 --> 00:31:39,367
So if priest hall gets hurt, Bra Allen

885
00:31:39,367 --> 00:31:41,375
probably has the best chance to come in

886
00:31:41,509 --> 00:31:43,413
and the jets do things that fit what

887
00:31:43,571 --> 00:31:45,475
Alan does well. He's a good gap runner,

888
00:31:45,872 --> 00:31:48,670
and he... And I think that there's enough

889
00:31:48,670 --> 00:31:50,842
there that he could give you,

890
00:31:51,457 --> 00:31:53,925
you know, 8 to 10 touchdown as a

891
00:31:53,925 --> 00:31:57,289
rookie if the... 3 to hall happens early,

892
00:31:57,608 --> 00:31:59,124
and he plays out a whole year. He

893
00:31:59,124 --> 00:32:02,177
could be a thousand 1112 hundred yard back

894
00:32:02,236 --> 00:32:04,159
from the jump and people go nuts about

895
00:32:04,159 --> 00:32:06,622
them and then find out, okay. Maybe he's

896
00:32:06,622 --> 00:32:08,926
not that great in subsequent years, but he's

897
00:32:08,926 --> 00:32:11,801
good enough to be. He's fantasy good He

898
00:32:11,801 --> 00:32:13,863
may not be reality great, but he can

899
00:32:13,863 --> 00:32:16,560
be fantasy good. Yeah. I should qualify this.

900
00:32:16,719 --> 00:32:18,440
And currently best boss. Everyone worry about it

901
00:32:18,638 --> 00:32:20,463
talk about our free squared players. You can

902
00:32:20,463 --> 00:32:23,400
get them especially with we'll last 2 rounds,

903
00:32:23,797 --> 00:32:26,099
some of them after round 20 years And

904
00:32:26,099 --> 00:32:28,099
he's a bus grab at that... Situation. I

905
00:32:28,099 --> 00:32:29,451
and I feel like even in red draft

906
00:32:29,451 --> 00:32:31,199
if you're investing in brief calls. I plan

907
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:32,789
to be doing, and I will be investing

908
00:32:32,789 --> 00:32:33,107
early.

909
00:32:34,140 --> 00:32:35,984
He looks like the the Clear cut hey

910
00:32:35,984 --> 00:32:37,257
company to. I don't think is israel Ob

911
00:32:37,257 --> 00:32:39,405
robotic condos the seems to be that guy

912
00:32:39,405 --> 00:32:41,553
or or Else Sp allen might not be

913
00:32:41,553 --> 00:32:42,610
there. So

914
00:32:43,224 --> 00:32:45,229
moving on, you said something a little earlier

915
00:32:45,229 --> 00:32:47,140
and I think set this next 1 up,

916
00:32:47,856 --> 00:32:48,674
Dylan M

917
00:32:49,607 --> 00:32:52,289
currently being drafted is running back 68. You

918
00:32:52,650 --> 00:32:55,210
you feel like maybe Amir White is not

919
00:32:55,210 --> 00:32:56,590
going to be a

920
00:32:57,049 --> 00:32:59,210
through full time a true feature back end

921
00:32:59,210 --> 00:33:02,045
that he'll remain on the feel for asking

922
00:33:02,265 --> 00:33:03,865
situations is lobby me the guy that's gonna

923
00:33:03,865 --> 00:33:05,625
be on when that happens. It could very

924
00:33:05,625 --> 00:33:07,785
well happen. A amir abdul of, you know,

925
00:33:07,944 --> 00:33:09,944
a journey and veteran who can do that

926
00:33:09,944 --> 00:33:13,080
job. What called upon. But lobby is probably

927
00:33:14,086 --> 00:33:16,702
equally compelling as an open field runner and

928
00:33:16,702 --> 00:33:19,285
maybe even more compelling as between the Tackle

929
00:33:19,345 --> 00:33:22,224
player who has maybe you add another 5

930
00:33:22,224 --> 00:33:24,224
to 7 pounds of muscle and could challenge

931
00:33:24,224 --> 00:33:24,964
a guy

932
00:33:25,265 --> 00:33:27,184
like Z amir White for a lead role

933
00:33:27,184 --> 00:33:28,057
in a year or 2.

934
00:33:29,167 --> 00:33:30,832
As early as next year, I would bet.

935
00:33:31,387 --> 00:33:33,132
I think that there's potential there for his

936
00:33:33,132 --> 00:33:35,612
game, And he's 1 of those players that

937
00:33:35,612 --> 00:33:36,430
teams get

938
00:33:37,123 --> 00:33:39,192
teams get excited about and they're trying to

939
00:33:39,192 --> 00:33:41,996
cool their jets because they've always been once

940
00:33:41,996 --> 00:33:44,789
bitten twice shy about small school players at

941
00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:46,545
running back and not sure what they really

942
00:33:46,545 --> 00:33:48,620
have. But this is a guy that when

943
00:33:48,620 --> 00:33:50,067
you... If you know what to watch on

944
00:33:50,067 --> 00:33:51,579
film, I think this is 1 of those

945
00:33:51,579 --> 00:33:52,795
guys that will validate

946
00:33:53,488 --> 00:33:56,845
that he can make the transit. Mission and

947
00:33:56,845 --> 00:33:58,379
that he is a legitimate

948
00:33:59,869 --> 00:34:01,700
between the tackle running back in the style

949
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:04,503
of maybe not like Tai Spears, But, like,

950
00:34:04,902 --> 00:34:06,419
on a level where if you look at

951
00:34:06,499 --> 00:34:08,356
Tai spears and he's gonna split duties

952
00:34:08,814 --> 00:34:11,289
down the middle with Tony Poll this year,

953
00:34:11,449 --> 00:34:13,659
that it's not even, like they're getting the

954
00:34:13,779 --> 00:34:15,449
find different duties. They're just splitting in half,

955
00:34:15,528 --> 00:34:17,675
which tells you that they feel like just

956
00:34:17,675 --> 00:34:19,424
workload may be a little bit of a

957
00:34:19,424 --> 00:34:21,014
concern, but the talent is there to do

958
00:34:21,014 --> 00:34:23,421
the do a lead job. I think Lobby

959
00:34:23,421 --> 00:34:24,081
will someday

960
00:34:24,699 --> 00:34:25,177
show that.

961
00:34:25,976 --> 00:34:28,052
And they're are already excited on Cadillac Williams

962
00:34:28,052 --> 00:34:29,568
knew a thing or 2 about running the

963
00:34:29,568 --> 00:34:31,619
football. And he's the running back coach, the

964
00:34:31,978 --> 00:34:34,129
And I think he... He's already liked what

965
00:34:34,129 --> 00:34:35,005
he's seen from lobby,

966
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,793
and there are a lot of Nfl players

967
00:34:37,793 --> 00:34:39,724
who've trained with him. Pre draft who are,

968
00:34:39,805 --> 00:34:41,724
like, wait till they wait till the team

969
00:34:41,724 --> 00:34:44,364
sees this kid. Because Let let the Fc

970
00:34:44,364 --> 00:34:45,885
mcs in all purpose yards in each of

971
00:34:45,885 --> 00:34:48,210
the past. 2 seasons and set a school

972
00:34:48,210 --> 00:34:50,359
record for receiving yards in a game with

973
00:34:50,359 --> 00:34:51,553
295,

974
00:34:51,871 --> 00:34:54,179
and reno know central Michigan in 20 23.

975
00:34:54,418 --> 00:34:56,144
White has to prove that he can do

976
00:34:56,264 --> 00:34:57,319
that he can be

977
00:34:57,851 --> 00:34:59,835
a guy in space as a as a

978
00:34:59,835 --> 00:35:00,233
receiver.

979
00:35:00,708 --> 00:35:02,455
And even as a blocker he has to

980
00:35:02,455 --> 00:35:04,518
prove a little bit more. I think the

981
00:35:04,518 --> 00:35:06,837
doors hope open for lobby to to really

982
00:35:06,837 --> 00:35:08,743
take this... To get this job as a

983
00:35:08,743 --> 00:35:10,093
rep. I think so too. I would just

984
00:35:10,093 --> 00:35:11,523
wonder how much bandwidth there is there If

985
00:35:11,523 --> 00:35:13,760
we look at the way in Antonio... Nurses

986
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,424
run, the raiders Luke Gets he comes in

987
00:35:15,424 --> 00:35:17,167
as the offensive coordinator coming from 1 of

988
00:35:17,167 --> 00:35:19,068
the run heaviest teams in league last year,

989
00:35:19,465 --> 00:35:20,550
whether that was by Nurses

990
00:35:21,305 --> 00:35:24,507
for by design or just due to circumstances,

991
00:35:25,676 --> 00:35:27,743
the same could be said in Las Vegas

992
00:35:27,743 --> 00:35:29,492
where you have issues a quarterback, whether it's

993
00:35:29,492 --> 00:35:32,131
8 Mcconnell, or Gardner. We're gonna have a

994
00:35:32,131 --> 00:35:33,483
competition there. I think, you know, a lot

995
00:35:33,483 --> 00:35:34,279
of people feel like,

996
00:35:34,915 --> 00:35:36,586
it's gonna be gardner dementia. I'm not so

997
00:35:36,586 --> 00:35:37,381
sure I agree,

998
00:35:38,670 --> 00:35:40,746
And I'm not... Because I don't think Antonio

999
00:35:40,906 --> 00:35:42,664
Pierce agrees that I think this is this

1000
00:35:42,664 --> 00:35:44,341
is 1 situation where you gotta watch what

1001
00:35:44,421 --> 00:35:46,753
Pierce is done, and think Josh Jenkins was

1002
00:35:46,753 --> 00:35:48,988
on track to get, 80 plus percent of

1003
00:35:48,988 --> 00:35:49,967
the snaps

1004
00:35:50,345 --> 00:35:52,261
last year when he got hurt, and then

1005
00:35:52,261 --> 00:35:53,938
he got hurt and then Z White came

1006
00:35:53,938 --> 00:35:56,183
in and took all of those snap. Averaged

1007
00:35:56,183 --> 00:35:58,085
a hundred and 14 yards from sc per

1008
00:35:58,085 --> 00:36:00,461
game down the stretch including a huge game

1009
00:36:00,461 --> 00:36:02,546
gets achieved So I think he's... I think

1010
00:36:03,173 --> 00:36:03,412
me,

1011
00:36:04,368 --> 00:36:06,360
white is a little bit under priced right

1012
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,989
now, Sure, based on that, But based on

1013
00:36:08,989 --> 00:36:10,742
anticipated volume, but I do think if there's

1014
00:36:10,742 --> 00:36:12,175
somebody gonna have a receiving role. I don't

1015
00:36:12,175 --> 00:36:13,548
know if gonna be a a Amir abdul,

1016
00:36:13,628 --> 00:36:15,465
and I think that that La someone would

1017
00:36:15,465 --> 00:36:17,942
look at or for all the reasons you

1018
00:36:17,942 --> 00:36:19,002
outlined. And do they?

1019
00:36:19,460 --> 00:36:21,333
I would joke that look of their quarterback

1020
00:36:21,471 --> 00:36:23,067
situation, do they really care that if their

1021
00:36:23,067 --> 00:36:25,699
quarterback gets hit a lot? No. I'm they're

1022
00:36:25,699 --> 00:36:27,373
gonna be drafted for another 1. I think

1023
00:36:27,453 --> 00:36:29,128
Carson beck might be high on their list.

1024
00:36:29,527 --> 00:36:29,846
You know,

1025
00:36:30,977 --> 00:36:33,868
in the future here. We'll see. Isaac G

1026
00:36:34,086 --> 00:36:36,795
in San Francisco. Portia Pic. Correct? Yes.

1027
00:36:38,150 --> 00:36:41,189
So... We've got elijah Mitchell who has had

1028
00:36:41,189 --> 00:36:43,416
trouble saying healthy. We have Jordan Mason.

1029
00:36:44,212 --> 00:36:46,374
Also has had trouble saying, hell, healthy. I

1030
00:36:46,374 --> 00:36:48,123
mean, I think that's the peck order right

1031
00:36:48,123 --> 00:36:50,508
now. Still. It's gonna be Mitchell after Christian

1032
00:36:50,667 --> 00:36:51,940
Mc caf. I know he's there people.

1033
00:36:52,814 --> 00:36:54,802
C. And I know also you could read

1034
00:36:54,802 --> 00:36:56,408
this about in my fantasy notebook.

1035
00:36:57,443 --> 00:36:59,353
Kyle Shana talking. We need to lighten his

1036
00:36:59,353 --> 00:37:00,944
load a little bit. We wanna preserve them.

1037
00:37:02,138 --> 00:37:04,070
Believe that when you see it kids. But

1038
00:37:04,128 --> 00:37:06,073
they do have pieces there. Tell us what

1039
00:37:06,208 --> 00:37:07,899
can deliver. I think Cor

1040
00:37:08,670 --> 00:37:09,170
is

1041
00:37:09,940 --> 00:37:11,766
1 of those guys that you look at

1042
00:37:11,766 --> 00:37:12,742
size speed

1043
00:37:14,085 --> 00:37:15,125
Work, power,

1044
00:37:16,005 --> 00:37:16,505
and

1045
00:37:17,445 --> 00:37:19,445
he's got a build that's similar to Todd

1046
00:37:19,605 --> 00:37:19,925
Girly.

1047
00:37:20,405 --> 00:37:22,485
Does that make him Todd Girly and ability

1048
00:37:22,485 --> 00:37:25,048
know, but does he have Todd Gu level

1049
00:37:25,048 --> 00:37:27,673
of speed and acceleration. It's not that far

1050
00:37:27,673 --> 00:37:27,833
away.

1051
00:37:28,787 --> 00:37:30,776
And he has gotten better every year. He

1052
00:37:30,776 --> 00:37:33,043
was on unloaded depth chart in Wisconsin

1053
00:37:33,501 --> 00:37:35,577
with Jonathan Taylor being 1 of those backs,

1054
00:37:35,737 --> 00:37:37,094
Bran Allen bean another.

1055
00:37:38,211 --> 00:37:41,324
And, you know, I've seen my share loaded

1056
00:37:41,324 --> 00:37:43,017
this step charts where guides like Ed and

1057
00:37:43,177 --> 00:37:44,536
James or T Davis,

1058
00:37:45,015 --> 00:37:46,474
don't always get maybe

1059
00:37:46,853 --> 00:37:47,353
the

1060
00:37:47,891 --> 00:37:48,391
the

1061
00:37:48,850 --> 00:37:50,141
opportunities, depth you know,

1062
00:37:50,937 --> 00:37:53,244
priest holmes, you know, don't always get the

1063
00:37:53,244 --> 00:37:55,710
opportunities that the star gets, you know, that

1064
00:37:55,710 --> 00:37:59,000
the the coach favored. And so Gu,

1065
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,079
you, you know, played well at Louisville,

1066
00:38:01,639 --> 00:38:03,319
and I think that they had a system

1067
00:38:03,319 --> 00:38:05,255
in place where they didn't want overt tax

1068
00:38:05,255 --> 00:38:07,255
him, so Jaw jo Jordan certainly got some

1069
00:38:07,255 --> 00:38:09,494
love and as a... Was a nice college

1070
00:38:09,494 --> 00:38:11,655
player. But Is that type of guy that...

1071
00:38:12,454 --> 00:38:13,994
You know, if he can pick up past

1072
00:38:14,055 --> 00:38:15,264
protection, the reasonably well.

1073
00:38:16,616 --> 00:38:18,048
This summer, and that's what you're gonna keep

1074
00:38:18,048 --> 00:38:19,559
an eye out for. If he can do

1075
00:38:19,559 --> 00:38:21,284
that, you hear, you know, that he's doing

1076
00:38:21,644 --> 00:38:23,964
okay in that department, he could wind up

1077
00:38:23,964 --> 00:38:26,444
the backup on this team. And even if

1078
00:38:26,444 --> 00:38:28,605
by injury that they have to do it,

1079
00:38:29,005 --> 00:38:30,777
he could perform well, just

1080
00:38:31,494 --> 00:38:34,127
if injuries, you know, decimate the depth chart

1081
00:38:34,127 --> 00:38:35,185
where Mc

1082
00:38:35,642 --> 00:38:38,833
and 1 of Mason or Mitchell get hurt

1083
00:38:38,833 --> 00:38:41,640
as well. So you're... You know, he's a

1084
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,954
dark throw at this stage. He's better dynasty

1085
00:38:43,954 --> 00:38:45,550
play than he is a red draft play,

1086
00:38:45,949 --> 00:38:47,305
but he's a guy you're gonna want a

1087
00:38:47,305 --> 00:38:48,938
mono or en camp because

1088
00:38:49,395 --> 00:38:50,534
the Shana hands

1089
00:38:51,231 --> 00:38:53,546
exe exemplified this better than anyone is that

1090
00:38:53,546 --> 00:38:55,722
they look at the running back position is

1091
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:56,394
interchange

1092
00:38:57,233 --> 00:38:58,988
that they can find a lot of talent.

1093
00:38:59,387 --> 00:39:01,541
And unless they I have the superstar, the

1094
00:39:01,541 --> 00:39:04,348
guys behind that, the the depth charts are

1095
00:39:04,348 --> 00:39:06,735
never settled. And I think that Gu is

1096
00:39:06,735 --> 00:39:08,008
that type of guy that could give you

1097
00:39:08,008 --> 00:39:09,065
that Mike Anderson,

1098
00:39:09,519 --> 00:39:11,324
you know, way back in the day are.

1099
00:39:12,397 --> 00:39:14,303
Where did he come from? You know? Yeah.

1100
00:39:14,621 --> 00:39:16,606
Brock P is, like an example of that

1101
00:39:16,606 --> 00:39:18,830
whole mindset you're talking about. Right? Like? Right?

1102
00:39:19,148 --> 00:39:22,594
Like, shit. Was telling his team's owner that,

1103
00:39:22,833 --> 00:39:24,749
hey. Like, as early as the first rating

1104
00:39:24,749 --> 00:39:26,426
game. This guy might end up being our

1105
00:39:26,426 --> 00:39:28,981
sa. Right? Like, his mind is working in

1106
00:39:28,981 --> 00:39:30,986
that way. For sure. Let's talk about 3

1107
00:39:30,986 --> 00:39:31,861
wide receivers here.

1108
00:39:32,736 --> 00:39:34,168
Jamal Baker, I think that for the patriots

1109
00:39:34,168 --> 00:39:36,476
is interesting, not the guy they picked first

1110
00:39:36,476 --> 00:39:39,512
and that's dale polk. But Baker seems like

1111
00:39:39,512 --> 00:39:41,501
more of a big play threat, tell us

1112
00:39:41,501 --> 00:39:43,409
what we should like about him as wide

1113
00:39:43,409 --> 00:39:45,635
receiver 83 in offense by the way, that

1114
00:39:45,635 --> 00:39:48,354
scored tied for the lowest scoring in the

1115
00:39:48,672 --> 00:39:50,262
Nfl last year. Well, if you're gonna pick

1116
00:39:50,262 --> 00:39:51,932
a patriot, go ahead and pick 1 of

1117
00:39:51,932 --> 00:39:54,873
the cheapest ones. Yep. At wide receiver because

1118
00:39:54,873 --> 00:39:56,066
you don't know what you're gonna get it

1119
00:39:56,066 --> 00:39:58,796
quarter. Back really for sure. But 1 thing

1120
00:39:58,796 --> 00:40:00,655
that you wanna know with all these quarterback

1121
00:40:00,794 --> 00:40:03,031
is, you want a player that's a good

1122
00:40:03,031 --> 00:40:05,197
route runner and I would argue that of

1123
00:40:05,197 --> 00:40:08,479
the Rookie that they picked while polk will

1124
00:40:09,013 --> 00:40:10,944
has really some nice developmental

1125
00:40:11,318 --> 00:40:13,489
upside, and he will be able to contribute

1126
00:40:13,489 --> 00:40:15,969
immediately with certain sets because he's good at

1127
00:40:15,969 --> 00:40:17,570
winning the ball in the air and playing

1128
00:40:17,570 --> 00:40:19,409
the boundary and he's got some skill after

1129
00:40:19,409 --> 00:40:21,730
the catch. J siobhan Baker is the better

1130
00:40:21,730 --> 00:40:23,905
run runner of the 2. I think that

1131
00:40:23,905 --> 00:40:25,585
he's the more refined rot runner.

1132
00:40:26,224 --> 00:40:27,984
He has some... He has some issues with

1133
00:40:27,984 --> 00:40:30,385
attacking the ball sometimes that lead to some

1134
00:40:30,385 --> 00:40:32,178
unfortunate drops, but they're not,

1135
00:40:32,713 --> 00:40:34,646
a, a high amount on his

1136
00:40:35,101 --> 00:40:37,092
plate, and he is a big play tight

1137
00:40:37,092 --> 00:40:40,612
window pass against man. And kenneth offer some

1138
00:40:40,612 --> 00:40:43,164
skill as a runner. So looking at him,

1139
00:40:43,324 --> 00:40:45,318
I think he's a real deal. The problem

1140
00:40:45,318 --> 00:40:47,312
it the reason he's a lower draft than

1141
00:40:47,312 --> 00:40:50,619
polk was not necessarily as a ability, but

1142
00:40:50,918 --> 00:40:54,194
apparently, character concerns. And the character concerns really

1143
00:40:54,194 --> 00:40:55,473
center her around his father,

1144
00:40:56,751 --> 00:40:58,441
and that may be that they feel like

1145
00:40:58,441 --> 00:40:58,917
the father,

1146
00:40:59,632 --> 00:41:01,457
maybe interferes a lot or creates a lot

1147
00:41:01,457 --> 00:41:03,362
of drama, and there have been issues in

1148
00:41:03,362 --> 00:41:05,505
the past in the Nfl where there are

1149
00:41:05,505 --> 00:41:08,220
players whose parents feel or family members have

1150
00:41:08,220 --> 00:41:11,262
come up to the facility and created drama

1151
00:41:11,318 --> 00:41:13,781
for employees who are just trying to... You

1152
00:41:13,781 --> 00:41:15,875
know, keep the lights on and pay the

1153
00:41:15,875 --> 00:41:18,195
bills and do things. And these people are

1154
00:41:18,195 --> 00:41:20,675
coming up there over things that nobody has

1155
00:41:20,675 --> 00:41:22,522
anything to do kind of, like, think about,

1156
00:41:22,681 --> 00:41:25,487
like, if you worked at, let's see. Walmart

1157
00:41:25,703 --> 00:41:27,532
and your parent came up to Walmart and

1158
00:41:27,532 --> 00:41:29,520
started, like, going off on the customer serve

1159
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:30,750
with and the management.

1160
00:41:31,284 --> 00:41:34,384
There about something about that had nothing that

1161
00:41:34,384 --> 00:41:36,292
had something to do with you, but it

1162
00:41:36,292 --> 00:41:37,817
would had nothing to do with miss what

1163
00:41:37,817 --> 00:41:38,134
their

1164
00:41:38,848 --> 00:41:39,641
their role was.

1165
00:41:40,434 --> 00:41:42,734
You know, it at the at the store.

1166
00:41:42,972 --> 00:41:44,955
I think that that's kinda what happens with

1167
00:41:44,955 --> 00:41:47,671
some of these... What football parents, and they're...

1168
00:41:47,989 --> 00:41:49,181
I think a lot of people are afraid

1169
00:41:49,181 --> 00:41:51,724
that Baker has 1 of those, but we

1170
00:41:51,724 --> 00:41:53,734
don't... A lot of this can also be,

1171
00:41:56,194 --> 00:41:59,383
speculation and editorial commercialization of issues that maybe

1172
00:41:59,383 --> 00:42:00,419
the guy's just different.

1173
00:42:00,977 --> 00:42:03,779
Maybe he's a little bit more direct a

1174
00:42:03,779 --> 00:42:05,627
communicator, maybe he has certain differences

1175
00:42:05,999 --> 00:42:07,902
that they look at and it scares them,

1176
00:42:08,139 --> 00:42:09,036
and he's hard,

1177
00:42:09,487 --> 00:42:11,569
you know, we'll find out. As Yeah. In

1178
00:42:11,569 --> 00:42:13,409
in the vast majority of leagues I play

1179
00:42:13,409 --> 00:42:15,730
in, there will be no interest in any

1180
00:42:15,730 --> 00:42:17,670
patriot not named Mon Stevenson

1181
00:42:17,969 --> 00:42:20,150
except maybe Hunter Henry and

1182
00:42:20,463 --> 00:42:23,094
after that, probably numb, but in leagues where

1183
00:42:23,094 --> 00:42:24,529
both Matt and I play in, and he

1184
00:42:24,529 --> 00:42:27,001
knows what I'm talking about where there might

1185
00:42:27,001 --> 00:42:29,562
be every single person wrapped. I'm I met

1186
00:42:29,562 --> 00:42:31,148
her a in Baker in a super deep

1187
00:42:31,148 --> 00:42:32,893
lake. Yeah. Let's just put it that way.

1188
00:42:33,130 --> 00:42:35,906
16 teams, you know, 16 teams with, like,

1189
00:42:35,985 --> 00:42:38,231
50 man Wrapped roster. Yes. If you're and

1190
00:42:38,231 --> 00:42:40,306
a trick man, and a lot of people

1191
00:42:40,306 --> 00:42:42,860
who listen to this show certainly are about

1192
00:42:42,860 --> 00:42:45,988
that life. Right. And and, you know, Baker

1193
00:42:45,988 --> 00:42:47,663
will have some value they're done 1. And

1194
00:42:47,663 --> 00:42:48,860
what is... I like a medical?

1195
00:42:49,418 --> 00:42:52,050
Grows fast. If he grows fast, Siobhan Baker

1196
00:42:52,050 --> 00:42:53,485
could be an integral part of this team.

1197
00:42:53,805 --> 00:42:55,534
And if alex van Pellet figures out off

1198
00:42:55,813 --> 00:42:57,642
coordinating all these 6. Who like, a confluence

1199
00:42:57,642 --> 00:42:59,630
influence of great event. If if if if...

1200
00:42:59,869 --> 00:43:00,028
Yeah.

1201
00:43:01,142 --> 00:43:03,130
So I wanna revisit a question. I was

1202
00:43:03,130 --> 00:43:05,370
asked on the floor and the fantasy football

1203
00:43:05,370 --> 00:43:07,593
expo. I will be back there in August.

1204
00:43:07,752 --> 00:43:09,578
This this year, I won't have to be

1205
00:43:09,578 --> 00:43:11,721
asked in this question though. I'm going to

1206
00:43:11,721 --> 00:43:13,071
pose it to you again. And I know

1207
00:43:13,071 --> 00:43:15,324
our listeners out there and 1 in particular,

1208
00:43:15,724 --> 00:43:17,565
had this very question for me at the

1209
00:43:17,565 --> 00:43:17,804
expo.

1210
00:43:18,924 --> 00:43:22,136
Calvin... Calvin asked the third Can fuck? I'm

1211
00:43:22,136 --> 00:43:24,851
feeling it. At at his price, he's a

1212
00:43:24,851 --> 00:43:27,006
better version of Wand Robinson in a more

1213
00:43:27,006 --> 00:43:27,506
versatile

1214
00:43:28,603 --> 00:43:30,850
receiver who can win more mandarin to man

1215
00:43:30,850 --> 00:43:32,914
at the boundary. He's a little quicker and

1216
00:43:32,914 --> 00:43:34,820
faster than him, better rot runner.

1217
00:43:35,932 --> 00:43:38,155
And I think the steelers have been intrigued

1218
00:43:38,155 --> 00:43:39,998
with them, but injuries have been an and

1219
00:43:39,998 --> 00:43:41,852
then they did they had crap fantastic quarterback

1220
00:43:42,069 --> 00:43:44,618
play and there's a lot of revolving parts

1221
00:43:44,618 --> 00:43:46,451
and coaches going in and out and all

1222
00:43:46,451 --> 00:43:48,123
that kind of thing. And you look at

1223
00:43:48,123 --> 00:43:50,206
them now, do And I think he...

1224
00:43:50,762 --> 00:43:52,748
It just depends on whether Arthur Smith is

1225
00:43:52,748 --> 00:43:53,145
gonna,

1226
00:43:54,019 --> 00:43:56,482
motion his receivers more often. He doesn't didn't

1227
00:43:56,482 --> 00:43:58,920
do that in Atlanta very often, but he

1228
00:43:59,039 --> 00:44:00,951
didn't have a quarterback who was very good

1229
00:44:00,951 --> 00:44:03,341
at reading the field. So maybe didn't wanna

1230
00:44:03,341 --> 00:44:05,492
complicate things. If they feel like with Russell

1231
00:44:05,572 --> 00:44:07,404
Wilson, they can complicate things a little bit

1232
00:44:07,404 --> 00:44:10,044
more. Calvin Os and might be a low

1233
00:44:10,044 --> 00:44:13,404
key wannabe be Doug Baldwin type for

1234
00:44:13,858 --> 00:44:16,340
for Russell Wilson. There's that some buzz this

1235
00:44:16,340 --> 00:44:18,099
here. And obviously, you know, the you look

1236
00:44:18,099 --> 00:44:20,599
at the pieces around him and it's totally

1237
00:44:20,659 --> 00:44:22,179
unresolved too the even the Live receiver two's

1238
00:44:22,179 --> 00:44:24,119
is going to be there whether you think

1239
00:44:24,500 --> 00:44:26,349
some pretty Van Jefferson for right now.

1240
00:44:27,705 --> 00:44:29,380
Seems to be the guy. So, you know,

1241
00:44:29,539 --> 00:44:31,294
maybe it's pat prior you is that guy.

1242
00:44:31,533 --> 00:44:33,607
I don't know, but, yeah. So my answer

1243
00:44:33,607 --> 00:44:35,719
this year is not not as different

1244
00:44:36,257 --> 00:44:38,175
from Calvin than it was, the last time

1245
00:44:38,335 --> 00:44:40,413
I was asked this specific question. I don't

1246
00:44:40,413 --> 00:44:42,251
know if I'm totally feeling them, but definitely

1247
00:44:42,251 --> 00:44:44,264
not totally leaf fucking him either. That's... This

1248
00:44:44,264 --> 00:44:46,734
is this is 1 to watch especially, given

1249
00:44:46,734 --> 00:44:48,726
the changing circumstances. That's think about the nfl,

1250
00:44:49,045 --> 00:44:51,038
switches around. Things change. Yeah. And you gotta

1251
00:44:51,038 --> 00:44:53,284
understand women with... You, you know, Pick is

1252
00:44:53,284 --> 00:44:55,275
your main guy, for, your rise is probably

1253
00:44:55,275 --> 00:44:57,266
the number 2 guy, but who's gonna be,

1254
00:44:57,426 --> 00:45:00,650
you know, Roman Wilson can block. Fan Jefferson

1255
00:45:01,265 --> 00:45:01,765
is

1256
00:45:02,540 --> 00:45:04,930
kind of like his dad, which is, as

1257
00:45:05,010 --> 00:45:06,763
I often talk about and kinda pick on

1258
00:45:06,763 --> 00:45:08,277
good rot runner, not great hands.

1259
00:45:09,489 --> 00:45:10,469
Not very dynamic

1260
00:45:11,329 --> 00:45:13,890
as a as a weapon. Austin can give

1261
00:45:13,890 --> 00:45:15,969
you more at the boundary as a deep

1262
00:45:15,969 --> 00:45:17,924
threat and more over the the middle

1263
00:45:19,020 --> 00:45:21,015
with his speed after the catch and skill.

1264
00:45:21,334 --> 00:45:24,286
And I think Russell Wilson gonna find ways

1265
00:45:24,286 --> 00:45:26,867
to get him the ball. I think that

1266
00:45:27,081 --> 00:45:28,903
I think we're gonna see that a little

1267
00:45:28,903 --> 00:45:30,885
bit more than we're gonna see from gods

1268
00:45:30,885 --> 00:45:31,623
like Jefferson

1269
00:45:32,074 --> 00:45:33,832
or you know anybody else And I think

1270
00:45:33,832 --> 00:45:36,605
that will offset help f booth too because

1271
00:45:36,605 --> 00:45:38,214
when you got 1 side of the field

1272
00:45:38,427 --> 00:45:39,482
occupied with Jump

1273
00:45:39,789 --> 00:45:42,335
austin inside, that's gonna open things up for

1274
00:45:42,335 --> 00:45:43,369
a guy like Fire booth.

1275
00:45:44,085 --> 00:45:45,836
So if you're playing best ball and you

1276
00:45:45,836 --> 00:45:48,260
get to that final pick Your twentieth pick

1277
00:45:48,316 --> 00:45:50,859
underdog. There is a wide range of players

1278
00:45:50,859 --> 00:45:52,528
available to you. And I think, you know,

1279
00:45:52,608 --> 00:45:53,800
1 of the goals there is I wanna

1280
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:54,913
find a guy who might give me 1

1281
00:45:54,913 --> 00:45:55,787
or 2 big weeks.

1282
00:45:56,438 --> 00:45:58,664
And 1 of the guys who says, hey,

1283
00:45:59,061 --> 00:46:01,049
me, I can do that is noah Brown.

1284
00:46:01,287 --> 00:46:03,911
I think he's being widely overlooked with the

1285
00:46:03,911 --> 00:46:06,160
arrive little of dig I get it, but

1286
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,916
that whole receiving core last year had trouble

1287
00:46:07,916 --> 00:46:09,353
staying in 1 piece over the course time,

1288
00:46:09,672 --> 00:46:11,748
including though Brown. He's a wide receiver 01:03

1289
00:46:11,748 --> 00:46:13,838
right now. Total free square play How do

1290
00:46:13,838 --> 00:46:15,292
you feel about here? Is is

1291
00:46:15,906 --> 00:46:17,497
do you think there's a chance we're gonna

1292
00:46:17,497 --> 00:46:19,168
get a couple games like we saw last

1293
00:46:19,168 --> 00:46:21,475
year? Yeah. At a rate that injuries happened

1294
00:46:21,475 --> 00:46:22,271
in the Nfl?

1295
00:46:22,925 --> 00:46:24,605
I'm taking a guy like that. Like, if

1296
00:46:24,605 --> 00:46:27,724
you're gonna take a a cuff or a

1297
00:46:27,724 --> 00:46:29,699
backup who doesn't give you any

1298
00:46:30,539 --> 00:46:32,460
value other than contingent value.

1299
00:46:33,099 --> 00:46:35,339
Get 1 that you know who is just

1300
00:46:35,339 --> 00:46:38,034
basically gonna blow the doors down show happy

1301
00:46:38,394 --> 00:46:40,394
he's proven it the... For 2 years.

1302
00:46:40,875 --> 00:46:43,694
I'm taking no brown easily at that range

1303
00:46:43,835 --> 00:46:46,245
because you've got a hyper lens up tank

1304
00:46:46,245 --> 00:46:48,548
cell. You've got a big body guy in

1305
00:46:48,628 --> 00:46:50,851
Nico collins and an aging stuff on digs.

1306
00:46:51,249 --> 00:46:52,543
There are 3 paths

1307
00:46:52,916 --> 00:46:56,042
right there, the that are there are, you

1308
00:46:56,042 --> 00:46:56,282
know,

1309
00:46:57,481 --> 00:46:59,398
valid paths to playing time.

1310
00:47:00,677 --> 00:47:03,407
So the rapport that he's got with Cj

1311
00:47:03,407 --> 00:47:05,319
j Str. Yeah. That... That's 1 of those

1312
00:47:05,319 --> 00:47:07,391
that I go If I'm gonna play it

1313
00:47:07,391 --> 00:47:07,891
safe

1314
00:47:08,267 --> 00:47:10,338
and pick a guy who doesn't have, you

1315
00:47:10,338 --> 00:47:13,460
know, who doesn't have weekly order value, but

1316
00:47:13,460 --> 00:47:15,849
has tremendous upside when when he does get

1317
00:47:15,849 --> 00:47:17,782
a new game, there's 3

1318
00:47:18,158 --> 00:47:19,750
opportunities for him to get into a game

1319
00:47:19,750 --> 00:47:20,467
and and be a,

1320
00:47:21,437 --> 00:47:23,425
rotational contributor of high level.

1321
00:47:24,460 --> 00:47:26,528
Alright. Fair enough. There you have it. That's

1322
00:47:26,528 --> 00:47:28,691
it for this week again. You can find

fun things that you can do Or I

1360

was playing all the corners that could be

1361
00:48:47,973 --> 00:48:48,291
cut,

1362
00:48:48,848 --> 00:48:50,916
you know, all of the little cheat codes

1363

you at the end of the day if

1365
00:48:54,097 --> 00:48:56,340
it's a little too dangerous. But what was

1366
00:48:56,340 --> 00:48:59,210
more fun? You know? I would say, yeah.

00:49:09,086 --> 00:49:11,324

00:50:07,512 --> 00:50:08,708
the fall, and then again,

1399
00:50:09,664 --> 00:50:12,295
probably, like in, like, December or January. And

1400
00:50:12,295 --> 00:50:14,063

1401
00:50:14,063 --> 00:50:15,736

mount w dot com for 46

1404
00:50:19,879 --> 00:50:21,631
90, I think is the total price,

1405
00:50:22,362 --> 00:50:24,932
you get, you know, you're basically getting,

1406
00:50:25,547 --> 00:50:27,639
