Speaker 1: Everyone, Welcome into the Fantasy Pros Dynasty Football Podcast presented
Speaker 1: by Reality Sports Online. My name is Kylie Yates and
Speaker 1: I am your host, and I'm joined as always by
Speaker 1: Ray Garvin. Ray. I was thinking about this earlier tonight
Speaker 1: and I had to just talk to me about it.
Speaker 1: We warned the people that we were probably gonna have
Speaker 1: some like dad talk on here, right. We were both
Speaker 1: dads to young kids. I was thinking about this as
Speaker 1: I was putting my son to bed tonight. Story I
Speaker 1: am one convinced that story time makes me more tired
Speaker 1: than it does my son. Do you do you agree
Speaker 1: with this? Am I out on a limb here by myself, like,
Speaker 1: I am so exhausted when I'm done with storytime. I
Speaker 1: mean I am too, especially when you have to read
Speaker 1: it to your one year old like seven times in
Speaker 1: a row. So yeah, I completely understand. And I know
Speaker 1: these books like the back of my hand right now. Man,
Speaker 1: it's it's exhausting. Oh one hundred percent. If someone said, like, hey,
Speaker 1: quote this book, I would absolutely be able to do it.
Speaker 1: For memory one boom boom boom in Brown Bear. I
Speaker 1: just I know at all, man, just A told b
Speaker 1: b tl C I'll meet you at the top of
Speaker 1: the coconut tree. Yeah, yep, Hey, we're at We're with Llama,
Speaker 1: Lama red pajama. That's that's the staple in our house. Anyway.
Speaker 1: You can find Ray on Twitter at rag Q. That's
Speaker 1: que and I can be found on Twitter as well
Speaker 1: at Kyle y NFL. What is on doct for tonight?
Speaker 1: While we are going to take a look at some
Speaker 1: news items that broke, there's a little little thing that
Speaker 1: happened earlier on today that well that we'll get to,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do a one round rookie mock draft.
Speaker 1: We'll take a look at what we think the first
Speaker 1: round of rookie mocks should look like at this point.
Speaker 1: Obviously things will change as we move into draft season,
Speaker 1: especially after the NFL Draft. But then we will also
Speaker 1: take a look at the listener mail bag. We've got
Speaker 1: some questions that weren't answered that we weren't able to
Speaker 1: get to our first listener mail bag last week, so
Speaker 1: we're gonna double back and hit some of those questions too.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look at the news, and
Speaker 1: again I mentioned there was a small little breaking thing
Speaker 1: that happened. Carson Wentz has been traded to the Indianapolis
Speaker 1: Colts from from the Philadelphia Eagles for a twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one third round pick and then a twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: second round pick that could become a first if he
Speaker 1: ends up playing seventy five percent or more of the snaps. So,
Speaker 1: ray what we've got here. You put out on Twitter
Speaker 1: earlier today that you wanted to gather some people's questions.
Speaker 1: And I love that we did this because we could
Speaker 1: sit here and we could just ramble on and we
Speaker 1: could give our takes right on the Carson Wentz But
Speaker 1: that might not hit exactly what the people want. What
Speaker 1: people are going to be asking what, So we turned
Speaker 1: it over. We've got a little mini mail bag here.
Speaker 1: We've got some questions that I'm going to ask you here,
Speaker 1: and we'll just kind of rip through these and provide
Speaker 1: our thoughts here on the Carson Wentz trade. Jeff Mueller
Speaker 1: asked which scenario is more likely now for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: Number one, sign a veteran free agent to compete with Hurts.
Speaker 1: Number two drafted rookie quarterback at number six overall, and
Speaker 1: then number three trade for a stud quarterback like Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1: So let's just answer that part first. Which scenario is
Speaker 1: the most likely do they sign? Because I think everyone
Speaker 1: is agreed or in agreement that they're not just going
Speaker 1: to roll in with in the next season with Nate
Speaker 1: Sudfeld and Jalen Hurts as their quarterbacks. I don't think
Speaker 1: they can do that, So I do expect someone to
Speaker 1: be brought in. So what is the most likely scenario?
Speaker 1: One sign a veteran free agent or number two drafted
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback at six, or make a big, all outplay
Speaker 1: to go get someone like Deshaun Watson if he becomes available. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's exactly in the order that Jeff has
Speaker 1: it listed. I think it's signed a veteran quarterback to
Speaker 1: compete with Hurts, two would be drafted rookie quarterback, and
Speaker 1: then three is trade for Deshaun Watson. And I really
Speaker 1: don't think they're in a win. I don't think the
Speaker 1: team is good enough even with Deshaun Watson to make
Speaker 1: a serious playoff push show I'm gonna go with one
Speaker 1: sign of veteran free agent to compete with Hurts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm in agreement there. I think that you could see
Speaker 1: someone like a Tyrod Taylor or Jacoby Brissette or you know,
Speaker 1: following Nick Sirianni over from Indianapolis, like those could be
Speaker 1: potential fits here to be that veteran free agent to
Speaker 1: come alongside Jalen Hurts. But again, I do think that
Speaker 1: you're going to see them bring in someone now. I
Speaker 1: don't think that that completely discredits the notion that they
Speaker 1: could take a quarterback at number six. Overall, I think
Speaker 1: that's very much on the table. If they aren't able
Speaker 1: to bring in someone in free agency that can be
Speaker 1: a solid veteran presence to at least push and compete
Speaker 1: with Hurts quarterback at number six. Overall, you're going to
Speaker 1: be looking at guys like, you know, as Zach Wilson
Speaker 1: probably could still be there, Trey Lance probably, I'm like
Speaker 1: ninety percent sure Trey Lance will still be there. And
Speaker 1: then maybe even justin fields it falls to that spot.
Speaker 1: We've been seeing that in some industry mocks. So I
Speaker 1: do agree that number one is the sign veteran free
Speaker 1: agency or free agent to compete with Hurts, But that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that I don't think number two is still realistic.
Speaker 1: Jared Pfeiffer, what is wentzworth in super flex rookie drafts
Speaker 1: now am mid first, early first. Let's answer that one.
Speaker 1: What is his value right now in terms of a
Speaker 1: rookie draft pick? Oh Man, I probably say if anything,
Speaker 1: for me personally, it would be a late first. It
Speaker 1: would be a late first. I'm not trading in early first,
Speaker 1: no way, I'm not trading a mid first, So it
Speaker 1: would have to be and I'm saying probably like one eleven,
Speaker 1: one twelve for me personally, I just I'm not there
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz. I think the landing spot for him
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis is fantastic. They've got a good running back,
Speaker 1: a young wide receiver in Pittman, good offensive line. I
Speaker 1: know they need a left tackle. But I'm not trading
Speaker 1: the potential of a trade Lance or Justin Fields or
Speaker 1: a player like Naja Harris for Carson Wentz, even in
Speaker 1: super flex. And that's that's just me personally. I'm not
Speaker 1: giving up that kind of draft equity for Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: right there with you. Late first for me, early second
Speaker 1: in a super flex league is probably where I'm looking
Speaker 1: to part with or what I'm looking to part with
Speaker 1: four Carson Wentz any earlier than that, I do think
Speaker 1: that you're starting to push you into that category where
Speaker 1: these guys who are going to be the top four quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: they're going to be guaranteed a starting position and they're
Speaker 1: going to be given every opportunity to succeed. With Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: the investment is not that significant where if Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: does struggle, you could see them just move on next year.
Speaker 1: So I don't think that you know, with Wentz this
Speaker 1: is a situation. I still I still like him, and
Speaker 1: it all depends on how how desperate I am for
Speaker 1: a quarterback that then I may push into the mid
Speaker 1: of the first round. If you absolutely need a quarterback,
Speaker 1: then go get one. But with Carson Wentz, like you said,
Speaker 1: I do really like the situation here landing in Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to go too crazy. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at a late first, early second, and then if I
Speaker 1: am absolutely desperate for a quarterback, I'll move a little
Speaker 1: bit higher up than that. Brady McClure asks, what should
Speaker 1: I try to sell Hurts for now in a super
Speaker 1: flex league? So I put out a poll on Twitter
Speaker 1: the other day and this was before the trade, and
Speaker 1: asking what would it take or what pick would you
Speaker 1: be comfortable giving up to go get Jalen Hurts right now?
Speaker 1: To go trade for Jalen Hurts, And a lot of
Speaker 1: answers were a twenty twenty one first. The majority said
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty two second in a super flex format.
Speaker 1: But again that was before we knew that Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: was traded. So I'll pose this to you now, Ray,
Speaker 1: what is his value right now? And is this actually
Speaker 1: a time to sell Jalen Hurts? Yeah? I think I
Speaker 1: think this is if you are a rebuilding team. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you are a rebuilding dynasty team. Michael lou at
Speaker 1: Mike me up on Twitter. I watched one of his
Speaker 1: fleets today and he made a really good point. He said,
Speaker 1: you want to minimize your risk profile and Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 1: I don't think either of us right now. Kyle can
Speaker 1: say definitively he's going to be the starting quarterback two
Speaker 1: years from now. I don't even know if we can
Speaker 1: say he's gonna be the starting quarterback for the entire
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season. So if I were a rebuilding team,
Speaker 1: I think you're I do believe that the potential what
Speaker 1: he can do on the ground with his legs and
Speaker 1: some of the things that he's shown, you know, with
Speaker 1: his arm through the air that you're looking at. He's
Speaker 1: a first round pick in twenty twenty one, easy, and
Speaker 1: probably worth a top ten pick in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: So if I were a rebuilding team, I would definitely
Speaker 1: be trying to move him. If I were a contending
Speaker 1: team that was already solidified at quarterback, if I can
Speaker 1: get that kind of draft capital back, I would do it.
Speaker 1: But if not, I think you're just banking on hitting
Speaker 1: a home run with the economic code type quarterback with
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, Well, this is the interesting conversation because it's like,
Speaker 1: where did he go in rookie drives last year? He
Speaker 1: was a mid second right in superplex leagues. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean he mid second, late second. This is all about value,
Speaker 1: and this is playing the value game where you invested
Speaker 1: a mid mid second, late secon can't sometimes even third
Speaker 1: round pick in super flex leagues for Jalen Hurts. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're telling me that you have someone in your
Speaker 1: league who is you know, maybe they're an Eagles fan
Speaker 1: and they're diehard Eagles fan and they're over the top
Speaker 1: about Jalen Hurts and you can get a first round
Speaker 1: pick plus something for Jalen Hurts, and potentially that first
Speaker 1: round pick could turn into one of Trey Lance, justin Field,
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. You know, I don't think it's gonna cost
Speaker 1: You're not going to get the one on one, which
Speaker 1: would be Trevor Lawrence. But yet, if you can do that,
Speaker 1: I'm all on board for that, because even if Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts turns out to be a good NFL quarterback and
Speaker 1: a good fantasy football quarterback, you've still gained value within
Speaker 1: what you paid for him originally and then what you
Speaker 1: ended up selling. So and again, if that can turn
Speaker 1: into a top tier quarterback, one who I have less
Speaker 1: questions about because we have a larger sample size here
Speaker 1: on Jalen Hurts with his work in college, which coming
Speaker 1: out of college, I don't know where you stood. I
Speaker 1: wasn't a huge fan. I thought that there were a
Speaker 1: lot of things that he still had to work on
Speaker 1: to be able to be come a refined quarterback in
Speaker 1: the NFL. In his four starts or whatever he had,
Speaker 1: he showed flashes, of course, but yet at the same
Speaker 1: time it was more of a backyard football style of
Speaker 1: play rather than a refined NFL quarterback with a full offseason.
Speaker 1: That I think that NFL coaches are going to be
Speaker 1: able to look at that film and say, this is
Speaker 1: how we can shut down Jalen Hurts when we play
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. It's kind of the same thing, and
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different because you mentioned the Konami code.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different with Jalen Hurts because of
Speaker 1: his rushing ability. But yet everyone went crazy over Drew Locke. Right,
Speaker 1: Drew Locke came on towards the end of his rookie season,
Speaker 1: played the five games or whatever went five and oh like,
Speaker 1: performed really really well, and he was getting sold for
Speaker 1: quite a bit in super flex leagues because people bought in.
Speaker 1: And yet now you can't pay anyone to take Drew
Speaker 1: lock off your roster. So you know, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that that's going to happen with Jalen Hurts, but play
Speaker 1: the percentages here and say what is the most likely
Speaker 1: outcome here? Well, most likely outcome is that he's not
Speaker 1: going to turn into a Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: at the top of year draft. Right, a Trey Lance,
Speaker 1: justin Field, Zack Wilson, they could. So I am willing
Speaker 1: to trade away Jalen Hurts because I paid a little
Speaker 1: bit for him and now I can turn it into
Speaker 1: a lot. Does that make sense. I think that's a
Speaker 1: good strategy. I think that's a sound reason, sound rationale.
Speaker 1: I would just I just want to remind people he
Speaker 1: started four games. He did not take any any reps
Speaker 1: with the starters the entire season. There was no plan
Speaker 1: to play Jalen Hurts. So while I just think that
Speaker 1: four games sample size for a player who had no offseason,
Speaker 1: no reps with the starters until the final month of
Speaker 1: the NFL season, to just slam the book shut on
Speaker 1: a player who every year of his college career progressed
Speaker 1: and got better in the passing department. Nobody was mistaking
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts for Drew Brees when he came out of college.
Speaker 1: He is who he thought he was. But to just
Speaker 1: my whole thing is if we're going to sit here
Speaker 1: and just assume or shut the book on him improving
Speaker 1: and getting better with an offense that will if he's
Speaker 1: the guy be catered around him. There is if you
Speaker 1: move him, you have to be prepared for maybe not
Speaker 1: becoming Lamar Jackson, but pretty dog gone close to that
Speaker 1: type of production from a fantasy quarterback skill set point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's a great point. And my discussion here, or
Speaker 1: argument with Jalen Hurts is not because I don't think
Speaker 1: that he could be Like he's my QB thirteen in
Speaker 1: Dynasty leagues right now in my rankings, he's my QB thirteen. Like,
Speaker 1: I still think that he can be relevant, especially because
Speaker 1: of his rushing ability. But yet this is let's pump
Speaker 1: the brakes here a little bit. People are already saying,
Speaker 1: like he's a top five quarterback for twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: top six, top seven, Like in that conversation, I'm saying,
Speaker 1: let's pump the brakes here a little bit. There's not
Speaker 1: even a guarantee that he's even the starting quarterback. You
Speaker 1: mentioned it not only in twenty twenty two, but in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. So let's pump the brakes here a
Speaker 1: little bit. Let's see what the what they do? Do
Speaker 1: they cater the offense around him because Nick Sirianni, the
Speaker 1: last we've seen he was working with Philip Rivers so
Speaker 1: and you can't get more opposite of Philip Rivers than
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. So let's just wait and see. Let's pump
Speaker 1: the brakes here a little bit, but let's take another
Speaker 1: look at the situation here. Nick Lewis asked bigger breakout
Speaker 1: chance Jalen Ragor, Michael Pittman, Paris Campbell, and then he
Speaker 1: includes j jaw jj Arthega Whiteside. So I think we
Speaker 1: can both sit here and say it's probably not going
Speaker 1: to be a j j Arthega Whiteside. So bigger breakout
Speaker 1: chance ragor your boy Pittman or Campbell. Well, considering that,
Speaker 1: I feel like Pittman sort of already arrived at the table.
Speaker 1: I think he's got the best chance to be the
Speaker 1: biggest fantasy producer out of all of these guys. We
Speaker 1: saw what he could do in limited opportunity last year,
Speaker 1: but looked really, really good. With Philip Rivers, when you're
Speaker 1: talking about breakout, I'm thinking a player who did absolutely
Speaker 1: nothing that could actually produce thisach year, So that would
Speaker 1: be Ragor, although I think Pittman has the higher upside
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz in that offense is to presume number one,
Speaker 1: especially if they let t Y Hilton walk. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: a big fan of Pittman. Anyone who has followed the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros Football podcast the last season knows that I'm
Speaker 1: a big fan of Pittman. So I am gonna that
Speaker 1: he'll be my answer here. Even though yes, he did
Speaker 1: arrive on the scene a little bit last year, I
Speaker 1: think that he's just getting started with Wentz now landing
Speaker 1: with Frank Reich, who was the key to his success
Speaker 1: previously in Philadelphia as the offensive coordinator. I think that
Speaker 1: we're going to see a rejuvenated You've got a better
Speaker 1: offensive line, outstanding offensive line, and then a great run
Speaker 1: game to take the pressure off. I think that we're
Speaker 1: going to see a little bit of a different Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz here. So I like Michael Pittman heading into next season.
Speaker 1: And then finally, f f goodboy, what happens to Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders's value with Hurts as the full time starter in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Now, typically a running quarterback, a mobile quarterback,
Speaker 1: can open things up for the running backs and the
Speaker 1: running lanes, right. But yet when you do have Hurts,
Speaker 1: who ran the ball what fourteen times times in one
Speaker 1: game like he was taking a weight a ton of
Speaker 1: rushing attempts here. So just initial reaction here, Miles Sanders
Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts as the presumed starter, let's operate under
Speaker 1: that assumption. Yeah, yeah, what does it do for Miles Sanders?
Speaker 1: I think it's relatively the same, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: because even with Carson Wentz, he couldn't he couldn't hit
Speaker 1: him out of the backfield on a flare route to
Speaker 1: save his life. So I just I think it's about
Speaker 1: the same, to be honest with you. I think the
Speaker 1: bigger thing is is Philadelphia going to upgrade their offensive line.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the biggest boost to Miles Sanders value.
Speaker 1: Maybe it takes a little bit of a hit because hurts,
Speaker 1: you know, take some of those carries away. But Sanders
Speaker 1: wasn't being fed twenty five thirty carries a game in
Speaker 1: the first place. So I just think it's around the same,
Speaker 1: to be honest. That's right where I'm at too. I
Speaker 1: think this is just kind of really didn't move the
Speaker 1: needle for me, one way or another. When I went
Speaker 1: in and did my Dynasty rankings update earlier today, I
Speaker 1: moved Pittman, I moved Rager a little bit. Goddard just
Speaker 1: top of spots, and then of course the quarterbacks. But
Speaker 1: yet I didn't touch Jonathan Taylor or Miles Sanders because
Speaker 1: I think it just kind of is it's kind of
Speaker 1: the same thing for each of those guys. All right,
Speaker 1: let's look at some other news items here. Brashon Perryman,
Speaker 1: the wide receiver for the New York Jets, is not
Speaker 1: expected to be resigned this offseason, which, again, if we
Speaker 1: talked about on the last podcast that Jamison Crowder could
Speaker 1: be a cap casualty, it looks like it's just gonna
Speaker 1: be Denzel Mims next year. So expect some sort of
Speaker 1: high price free agent signing or heavy investment and a
Speaker 1: wide receiver at the top of the draft. Ben Roethlisberger
Speaker 1: wants to play next season. However, the Steelers are looking
Speaker 1: at the situation and they're evaluating it. So this is
Speaker 1: interesting with Ben very very hefty contract next season. I
Speaker 1: think it's over forty million dollars as far as a
Speaker 1: cap hit. So based on his play last year, the
Speaker 1: Steelers are seriously having a conversation and saying, are we
Speaker 1: willing to pay Ben forty million dollars for the type
Speaker 1: of play that we got from him? Towards the end
Speaker 1: of last season, or is he done? So let me
Speaker 1: just pose this to you in this let's let's play
Speaker 1: a wild game here. Let's say Ben Roethlisberger doesn't come
Speaker 1: back to the Steelers next season and it's Mason Rudolph
Speaker 1: as a starting quarterback. What does that do for Deontay
Speaker 1: Johnson and Chase Claypool. It destroys their value. I believe
Speaker 1: if Mason Rudolph is the starting quarterback. However, not only
Speaker 1: is it a hefty cap here, he's a hefty looking
Speaker 1: player at this stage of his career as well. So
Speaker 1: if they move on from Ben, I do believe that
Speaker 1: at twenty four they will draft a quarterback, which then
Speaker 1: we're having a different conversation. But for the sake of
Speaker 1: this question, if it's Mason Rudolph, I don't think it's
Speaker 1: gonna bode well for anybody in that offense. It might
Speaker 1: be ugly. Yeah, That's where I'm at. Of course, we
Speaker 1: can't rule out that they would sign a free agent
Speaker 1: quarterback or maybe bring in a Jamis Winston, right they
Speaker 1: court him away from New Orleans or something like that.
Speaker 1: But as of right now, it's it's a serious question
Speaker 1: as of whether or not Ben Roethlisberger will be back,
Speaker 1: You're kind of just holding your Steelers in dynasty right now.
Speaker 1: You're Deanti Johnson, You're Chase Claypool's Eric Ebrons. You're just hoping,
Speaker 1: you know, and in praying that Ben Roethlisberg does come
Speaker 1: back next season. Additionally, Johnny Smith and Corey Davis could
Speaker 1: both end up leaving Tennessee in free agency. Let me
Speaker 1: just pose this to you. Ideal landing spots for both
Speaker 1: of these guys. I've got mine for John U and
Speaker 1: that and I'll just mention it really quick. That's San Francis.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's New York Jets. The New York Jets
Speaker 1: have a ton of money in free agency. They need
Speaker 1: a tight end or upgrade over Chris Herndon, who has
Speaker 1: done nothing up to this point of his career. He's flashed,
Speaker 1: He's a darling of Fantasy football Twitter, but yeah, has
Speaker 1: done nothing. So and then you do have Mike Lafleur
Speaker 1: coming over as the offensive coordinator from from San Francisco
Speaker 1: and bringing in that Shanahan scheme. What's preventing them from
Speaker 1: making Johnny Smith the George Kittle love that offense? Rackability
Speaker 1: right athletic can get out and move, can block. I
Speaker 1: think that you could absolutely see JOHNY Smith become a
Speaker 1: dominant Fantasy force if he does end up in New York. Well,
Speaker 1: I like that a lot. I really like that. They'd
Speaker 1: need a tight end. It didn't work out for Christopher Herndon,
Speaker 1: even though I'm still a closet truther, or if Chris Herndon,
Speaker 1: but if John H. Smith lands in New York or
Speaker 1: East Rutherford, New Jersey, or wherever the heck did Jeff
Speaker 1: play at, I think that's gonna be I think that's
Speaker 1: gonna be good for John H. Smith. Let him finally
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to kind of be the guy break out.
Speaker 1: We've seen it a little bit in Tennessee. But Corey Davis.
Speaker 1: For me, I'm gonna stick with New York, and I
Speaker 1: think the Giants would be a nice landing spot for
Speaker 1: a player like Corey Davis. I'm not closing the door
Speaker 1: yet on Daniel Jones. I'm not the biggest fan, but
Speaker 1: I do believe he's going to be the starter for
Speaker 1: this twenty twenty one season. I like Darius Slayton, but
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton is not a number one wide receiver. I
Speaker 1: think he's better served as a number two, number three.
Speaker 1: So you throw Corey Davis out there with Sterling Shephard,
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram and Darius Slayton, get say Kwan Barkley back.
Speaker 1: I do think that's a better offense than it was,
Speaker 1: and Corey Davis could have a chance to finally live
Speaker 1: up to that top five draft capital. Absolutely, Chris Carson
Speaker 1: is unlikely to be resigned by the Seahawks this offseason.
Speaker 1: So what does this do for Rashad Penny? Remember this guy,
Speaker 1: rashaand Benny? What do we do from a dynasty perspective?
Speaker 1: If you've been holding on to Penny, do you think
Speaker 1: that he is now the main guy heading into next season? Sure?
Speaker 1: But I mean it's just he's one of those players that,
Speaker 1: you know what I just to me, doesn't move the needle.
Speaker 1: He's He's a complimentary piece to your dynasty roster. I
Speaker 1: don't think we're ever going to get like a top twelve,
Speaker 1: you know, top twenty running back out of him. So therefore,
Speaker 1: for me, it's just a guy man, and we haven't
Speaker 1: seen him do it. We have yet to see him
Speaker 1: be the guy in a backfield to command significant work.
Speaker 1: He's had flashes, but coming off of that injury, Seattle
Speaker 1: they just seem like they have issues left and right
Speaker 1: with Pete Carroll in that offense. So even if he
Speaker 1: is quote unquote the guy, I'm not going to trust
Speaker 1: Pete to give them all the work. And I'm not
Speaker 1: going to rule out the Seattle Seahawks from taking a
Speaker 1: running back in the NFL Draft. Yeah, that's for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think with Penny, if I've got him, I'm holding
Speaker 1: onto him. He's a fine depth piece. But I'm also
Speaker 1: not looking to sell high. You know, you can't sell high,
Speaker 1: and I don't think that I'm looking to buy low
Speaker 1: on him either, So just willing to hold him if
Speaker 1: I've got him, I think that he can turn into something.
Speaker 1: But I also wouldn't put it past Seattle to bring
Speaker 1: in a marking room James Connor or someone else right
Speaker 1: in free agency at cheap signing to at least be that,
Speaker 1: you know, fifty fifty times show that they've looked to
Speaker 1: do in the past. Before we keep moving with today's episode,
Speaker 1: I want to take a second to tell you about
Speaker 1: Reality Sports Online. By now, most of you have probably
Speaker 1: heard of Reality Sports Online. The powerful fantasy sports platform
Speaker 1: where owners get to build and manage their fantasy team
Speaker 1: like an NFL general manager. But the question is have
Speaker 1: you tried it? It's time to go see what all
Speaker 1: the buzz in the dynasty community is about. Free agency,

Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to a one round rookie
Speaker 1: mock draft. We've got one quarterback, one tight end, half PPR.
Speaker 1: Do you steer typical league here? We'll do some super
Speaker 1: flex formats. We'll do some other fun formats here in
Speaker 1: rookie mock drafts as we moved throughout draft seasons. So
Speaker 1: but right now, as I mentioned at the top of
Speaker 1: the show, this is going to be what we would do,
Speaker 1: right So these are going to be leaning into our rankings. Obviously,
Speaker 1: as you sit in your rookie mock draft or your
Speaker 1: rookie draft in your league, team needs are gonna change,
Speaker 1: right They're going to change this order. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: people reach for players and all this stuff. But as
Speaker 1: of right now, we wanted to sit down and at
Speaker 1: least in a fun way introduce you to some of
Speaker 1: these prospects and at least give our little thoughts on
Speaker 1: them as we go throughout. So the one oh one
Speaker 1: here in a one quarterback, one tight end format rate,
Speaker 1: who are you taking? Kyle? I just want to thank
Speaker 1: you for being so gracious to me. I know I'm
Speaker 1: the new guy here, so you let me have the
Speaker 1: one on one and I'm very happy because this selection
Speaker 1: for me is extremely easy. He's the best running back
Speaker 1: in this draft class. He for me right now is
Speaker 1: a top ten dynasty running back. I think he is
Speaker 1: just a blend of Stephen Jackson and Matt Forte incoming
Speaker 1: two point Oh give me Nagy Harris, the six ft
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty pound All American back out of
Speaker 1: Alabama could do it all between the tackles on the outside,
Speaker 1: catch the ball out of the backfield. He's a three
Speaker 1: down threat for me. This is easy money at the
Speaker 1: one on one. Give me the stud running back, Nagy Harris. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that you've got to take Harris. If you're
Speaker 1: sitting at the one on one, you're gonna have fans
Speaker 1: that you know, people that really like Travis etn They're
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna have people that really like Javonte Williams
Speaker 1: will of course select these guys within the first round,
Speaker 1: but at the one on one. Based on everything that
Speaker 1: Harris has done. And now I've gone back like three
Speaker 1: years of watching this guy right because I've watched his
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, the improvement that he
Speaker 1: has made in his ability to embrace contact. Right in
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, I was watching this tape and I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: you are two hundred and twenty pounds, lower your shoulder
Speaker 1: and drive through this safety that you met at the
Speaker 1: second level, right, and he just he was looking to
Speaker 1: sidestep him. He was looking at now fully willing to
Speaker 1: embrace that contact, lower his shoulder, utilize his size and power,
Speaker 1: and again you mentioned it. Excellent hands out of the
Speaker 1: backfield as a receiver. I think that he can be
Speaker 1: a two hundred and fifty touch guy a season right
Speaker 1: out of the gate, depending on what fency Lanson. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: Naji Harris at the one on one, that's no brainer.
Speaker 1: Pick all right, I am up. Yeah, you're up. Kyle,
Speaker 1: you got the one on two spot, you got the
Speaker 1: one out two? Where are you going? We gotta know
Speaker 1: where are you going? Yeah? One ot two? Here looking
Speaker 1: at the running backs, Travis E ten because I do
Speaker 1: place a little bit higher of a importance on the
Speaker 1: running back position. But yet it's gonna be really hard
Speaker 1: man to let Jamar Chase fall pass the one out two.
Speaker 1: So Chase is the high is my wide receiver one
Speaker 1: in this class. It's been a while since we've seen
Speaker 1: him on the field, but yet extremely talented, excellent at
Speaker 1: the catchpoint, great mover out in space, excellent release off
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, is able to fight off contact
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. Two. They just all well
Speaker 1: rounded player and one who I think is going to
Speaker 1: have an immediate impact at the NFL level. So Jamar
Speaker 1: Chase here at the one O two. It's rich for
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, but when we're looking at a running
Speaker 1: back class that I'm not super in love with, I
Speaker 1: will definitely take the talent here and I'll go Jamar
Speaker 1: Chase at the one O two. Hey, did you see
Speaker 1: that guy Justin Jeffers in break Randy Moss's rookie receiving
Speaker 1: record this past season. I think you think you saw it, right? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, Jamar Chase outproduced him at nineteen years old
Speaker 1: last year in twenty nineteen, right, like crazy man. That's
Speaker 1: it's so I'm just listen Jamar Chase. He's I don't
Speaker 1: want to call anybody a short thing, a bad a lock.
Speaker 1: There are none of those in football. But at the
Speaker 1: wide receiver position, what he can do with the ball
Speaker 1: in the air after the catch's physicality, playmaking ability, and
Speaker 1: he's just got that cocky confidence. You have to have
Speaker 1: that at the wide receiver position. So I think that
Speaker 1: was a really good choice. I'm glad you did not
Speaker 1: go Travis et in because I was going to gobble
Speaker 1: up one of these wide receivers if you passed on him.
Speaker 1: But you left my wide receiver won for me, and
Speaker 1: I will take him right here at the one oh
Speaker 1: three Kyle And that is the Ragning Heisman Trophy winner,
Speaker 1: the Slim Reaper himself, Davonte Smith from Alabama. Listen, you
Speaker 1: could talk about all of the concerns right Oh, he's
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy hundred seventy five pounds. He broke
Speaker 1: every single record that Jamar Chase set in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Davanta Smith shattered that in one fewer game here in
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty season. He did that without Jaylen Waddle
Speaker 1: for majority of the season, without two without Henry Ruggs,
Speaker 1: without Jerry Judy. Any played in all SEC schedules. So
Speaker 1: when you're talking about a player who produced as a
Speaker 1: junior outproduced Henry Ruggs as a junior, outproduced Jerry Judy
Speaker 1: as a junior. I think he's the one of these
Speaker 1: savvyest players in this draft class at the wide receiver position.
Speaker 1: Speed for days, he's a technician on the outside, and
Speaker 1: his wing span you talked about it weren't you the
Speaker 1: one who said his wingspan is longer than Antonio Gandy
Speaker 1: Golden and Colin Johnson. The catch radius is ridiculous, and
Speaker 1: he offers special team's ability as a punt returner. I
Speaker 1: will happily take Davante Smith here at the one oh three.
Speaker 1: Stupid production. I mean, just what he is able to
Speaker 1: do on the football field defies logic. Right, and you
Speaker 1: hear the comp all the time and I really like it.
Speaker 1: Marve and Harrison right that that is the comp for
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith. And from his ability as a route runner
Speaker 1: to win, to be able to separate his speed long
Speaker 1: speed too, He's able to take a pass and be
Speaker 1: able to take it all the way down the field.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got the entire package. But it all
Speaker 1: is going to come down to how does an NFL
Speaker 1: team value him as far as his size. Do they
Speaker 1: believe that he can withstand the NFL? You know, size
Speaker 1: and it. But he but he did it in the
Speaker 1: SEC and he's been doing it, so I complete. I
Speaker 1: have no issue with you taking him here at the
Speaker 1: one oh three. But we left some of these running
Speaker 1: backs fall. We let some of these running backs fall.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I'm gonna let take my RB two here
Speaker 1: at the one oh four, I am going to take
Speaker 1: travesy t N and let get another running back off
Speaker 1: the board here. So with travasy ten speedster, right, that's
Speaker 1: been how he has made his mark in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: IMP comped him to a like souped up version of
Speaker 1: Matt Brita as far as very long strides, someone who
Speaker 1: can pick up speed. If you get him an inch
Speaker 1: of daylight, he is going to absolutely just take it
Speaker 1: to the house. So but this past season I saw
Speaker 1: a drastic improvement in his receiving ability. He was utilized
Speaker 1: heavily out of the backfield as a receiver from Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: So when you are talking about Travis c ten, we
Speaker 1: kind of have this idea of, Okay, well, is he
Speaker 1: going to be a true workhorse back or whatever. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's ever gonna see more than one
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five carries on a season. But yet
Speaker 1: he does have the skill set where he can have
Speaker 1: and I'm not comping him to it, but he can
Speaker 1: have a Alvin Kamara type effect on an offense where
Speaker 1: excellent as a receiver, heavily targeted out of the backfield
Speaker 1: does handle the workload as far as handling some carriers
Speaker 1: game in and game out. But yet I think that
Speaker 1: Travis c Ten, based on his skill set, should absolutely
Speaker 1: be in consideration here as a top five pick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think at the one oh four, I don't
Speaker 1: think that's a bad choice. Right. He's clearly for me
Speaker 1: a player that's after Naji Harris, and I would take
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase and take the DeVonta Smith over him. But
Speaker 1: like you said it, and when you made that comp
Speaker 1: call to Matt Breeder, I think that was like a
Speaker 1: year and a half two years ago, Yates. I was like,
Speaker 1: that's it, Like that's and a lot of people hear
Speaker 1: that and they get up sadder. But here's the thing, folks,
Speaker 1: we can't comp everybody to all pro running backs. It's
Speaker 1: just that's not how this works, right. And I'll tell
Speaker 1: you this about et and I have not seen a
Speaker 1: player with zero to sixty type acceleration that Eat possesses
Speaker 1: since like a Chris Johnson. His acceleration is crazy. But
Speaker 1: you let my RB two fall to me, and my
Speaker 1: comp for him is Thor's hammer, because that's how this
Speaker 1: player plays. Uh, He's just comped to an object the
Speaker 1: hammer of thor and that's UNC's Javonte Williams. I just
Speaker 1: I love his game. He's sort of a throwback NFL
Speaker 1: running back with the splash of new aged ability because
Speaker 1: he can catch the ball out of the backfield, and
Speaker 1: he did share a backfield with another talented running back
Speaker 1: who may come off the board here in this draft.
Speaker 1: But I just like the way that he can force mistackles. Man.
Speaker 1: He's just he's a physical downhill runner. He's got more
Speaker 1: speed than people think at five eleven, two hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty pounds. His physicality's got good footwork and vision and
Speaker 1: again can catch the ball out of the backfield. Was
Speaker 1: not heavily utilized in college, so he still should have
Speaker 1: a lot of tread left on that tire. So here
Speaker 1: at the one oh five spot to get my RB
Speaker 1: two and my personal rankings, Davante Williams. I'm a static
Speaker 1: of how this draft is playing out right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the difference in my rankings between Travis E. Ten and
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams is very very slim. Right, there's a gap
Speaker 1: between Nagy Harris and then these two. I'm fine going
Speaker 1: either one of these guys. Javontay Williams bowling ball is
Speaker 1: how I've described him previously, right, excellent contact balance. You
Speaker 1: watch this guy play and you're just like you have
Speaker 1: to sit there and wonder how does he break this
Speaker 1: many tackles? Like how is it humanly possible? And for
Speaker 1: him to I think he's going to step into an
Speaker 1: NFL off and immediately handle a heavy and significant workload.
Speaker 1: So he's got the talent. I don't think that with
Speaker 1: both of these guys, and this was something I was
Speaker 1: going to ask you. With both of these guys, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't put them in the conversation of you know where
Speaker 1: we put Jonathan Taylor, DeAndre Swift, JK. Dobbins last year.
Speaker 1: If you wanted to put Cech in that conversation too,
Speaker 1: I would still have these guys below them. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not a far gap. I think that they are very,
Speaker 1: very talented running backs in their own right and can
Speaker 1: absolutely make an impact for Dynasty purposes when we find
Speaker 1: out what their landing spot is. Kyle, you hit the
Speaker 1: nail on the head. I think Dobbins, Swift, Taylor, and
Speaker 1: for me personally, I mean we had Cech in there
Speaker 1: as well. If we're just if we're being an objective
Speaker 1: and thinking back to that time frame, I would have
Speaker 1: all though those guys from twenty twenty ahead of Williams
Speaker 1: and etn. But that's no slight to those two players
Speaker 1: because they are very talented. Put here at the middle,
Speaker 1: I think things are going to get interesting. Kylie, You've
Speaker 1: got the one oh six, so I'm really really interested
Speaker 1: to see where you go here. Yeah, this is where
Speaker 1: the consensus is going to kind of waiver, but I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna make it spicy just yet. I'm going to
Speaker 1: stay and take my wide receiver too. It's actually funny
Speaker 1: my grading system spit out both of these guys with
Speaker 1: the exact same grade, which is DeVante Smith and Jalen
Speaker 1: Waddle wide receivers at Alabama. I'm gonna take Waddle here
Speaker 1: at the one oh six. If I can get Wattle
Speaker 1: here at the one oh six, one of these guys
Speaker 1: who it's a play against Missouri that I was watching
Speaker 1: back just recently when Alabama played Missouri. Waddle takes a
Speaker 1: it's an out route or something like that. He takes
Speaker 1: it towards the sideline and he just operates at a
Speaker 1: different speed. It's like watching the flash man like legitimately
Speaker 1: like out on the field his ability. He just moves
Speaker 1: at a different speed than everyone else on the field.
Speaker 1: So not only is he just a like speed threat,
Speaker 1: but he is a well rounded receiver in his own
Speaker 1: right and still has and still shows signs that he
Speaker 1: has room to grow. So Jaylen Waddle absolutely here at
Speaker 1: the one oh six, I think that he's gonna go.
Speaker 1: I actually wouldn't be shocked at in the NFL draft
Speaker 1: if he went above Davante Smith. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I can see him going above Jamar Chase, but Jayalen Waddle,
Speaker 1: there are very few concerns with him. I'm happy to
Speaker 1: get in him here at the one oh six. Well,
Speaker 1: the first snipe has just occurred, because that was I
Speaker 1: had him teed up and ready to go, and you
Speaker 1: nailed it once again. I mean, his play speed is
Speaker 1: one thing. The athleticism and then the beginning of this
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season Listen had Waddle not been injured versus Tennessee,
Speaker 1: and this is no slight to Davante Smith, I don't
Speaker 1: think Smith would have won the Heisman. I don't think
Speaker 1: Waddle would have won the Heisman either, But he would
Speaker 1: have put up ridiculous numbers as well, probably would have
Speaker 1: been back Jones. But I mean, Waddle's tier to twenty
Speaker 1: twenty is phenomenal, and I'm with you. You know, if
Speaker 1: he weren't dealing with an injury, he was pushing wide
Speaker 1: receiver one status for me in this class. He's that talented,
Speaker 1: So loved that pick right there at the one oh
Speaker 1: six spot, right here, one oh seven. I'm gonna stay
Speaker 1: true to my board and I'm going to I guess
Speaker 1: this may be a little spicy for some, but a
Speaker 1: player that I've been in love with for the past
Speaker 1: two years, Ron del Moore out of Purdue, just a dynamic,
Speaker 1: undersized playmaker. I completely understand that he does not fit
Speaker 1: the mold of a prototypical X wide receiver, but we
Speaker 1: talked about the explosiveness that Jaylen Waddle has. Ron del
Speaker 1: Moore has that as well. As freshman season at Ohio
Speaker 1: State was historic, completely historic. He won the Paul Horning
Speaker 1: Award as the nation's most visional player. He joined the
Speaker 1: likes of Christian McCaffrey, Odell Beckham, Junior, Sequon Barkley, Jabrill Preppers.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's that talented of a player has not
Speaker 1: played a complete season since twenty eighteen, so there is
Speaker 1: a little bit of concern there. He's got the size issues,
Speaker 1: but when you're talking about just freak athlete, and I
Speaker 1: don't think there's any more dynamic player with the ball
Speaker 1: in their hands than Ron del Moore. What he can
Speaker 1: do at the slot wide receiver position as well as
Speaker 1: taking handoffs out of the backfield. Just a talented player
Speaker 1: that I'd love to have here at the one oh seven. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love more film. You do have the concerns and
Speaker 1: questions of the injury history. How much does that affect
Speaker 1: where he's going to go in the NFL draft? Could
Speaker 1: be a draft capital conversation. But as far as a talent,
Speaker 1: he's up there with the rest of these wide receivers.
Speaker 1: Rond Elmore here at the one oh seven, I am
Speaker 1: not going to have any issue with that. I'm going
Speaker 1: to go here with a player that I honestly thought
Speaker 1: you were going to take a little bit earlier. Now,
Speaker 1: from a value perspective, this might not line up with
Speaker 1: a lot of people's boards, but Kyle Pitts here, He's
Speaker 1: going to go off the board at the one oh eight,
Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitt's tight end out of Florida one of
Speaker 1: the most ridiculous prospects that I've watched. Absurd what he
Speaker 1: is able to do on the football field. What is
Speaker 1: he six five, two hundred forty two hundred forty five
Speaker 1: pounds and moves like he's two hundred pounds? Like the
Speaker 1: way he is able to line up in line and
Speaker 1: get out and move is in space. It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: But incredible hands and incredible contested catchability, able to be
Speaker 1: a force in the red zone. If you're looking for
Speaker 1: a player, if you let me phrase it this way,
Speaker 1: if you've looked at other Dynasty rosters that have a
Speaker 1: Darren Waller, a Travis Kelsey and you've like looked at
Speaker 1: their roster and coveted what they have, then you take
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts because he's going to have that same type
Speaker 1: of impact. I know you've done a lot you're a
Speaker 1: huge fan of Pits. No, you've done a lot of
Speaker 1: more in depth scouting on him than even I have.
Speaker 1: So Kyle Pitts here at the one o eight from
Speaker 1: a value perspective, does this make sense? Yeah? Because you're
Speaker 1: getting a listen and I don't I do not want
Speaker 1: people to take this the wrong way. Please don't take
Speaker 1: it the wrong way. He's like he's like a Calvin
Speaker 1: Johnson esque prospect at tight end. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: what he's able to do. I think he's a blend
Speaker 1: of Darren Waller and you know, throw Kelsey kill. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's that talented of a prospect. And again the sniper
Speaker 1: was out got me again because I thought I could
Speaker 1: get Amble on Rondelle. And let me just tell you, Krab,
Speaker 1: if we could rewind a few minutes, I would have
Speaker 1: taken Pits instead of more because I just thought I
Speaker 1: was gonna be able to get him put right. I
Speaker 1: love it. I even listen, you go look across the
Speaker 1: championship teams in leagues, and I guarantee you they either
Speaker 1: had Waller or Kelsey on him. So to get this
Speaker 1: type of prospect, he's a wide receiver playing tight end
Speaker 1: position to run through the board really quick. So Naji
Speaker 1: Harris won at the one oh one, Jamar Chase at
Speaker 1: the one O two, DeVante Smith at the one O three,
Speaker 1: Travis E Ten, Javonte Williams, Jayalen Waddle, ron Dale Moore,
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, Ray, Who are you taking here? At the
Speaker 1: one oh nine? Just a few picks left in this
Speaker 1: round one rookie monk draft. All right, So I'm playing
Speaker 1: poker with you right now, and I'm going to bet
Speaker 1: that you don't take the guy that I want to
Speaker 1: take here. I think I can get him at the
Speaker 1: one eleven spots. So I'm gonna go with my wide
Speaker 1: receiver four in the class, and that's Minnesota Gopher. We're
Speaker 1: a shod Bateman. I think he's probably probably just the
Speaker 1: most pro ready wide receiver in my opinion. He does
Speaker 1: everything exceptionally well without being a Jalen Wattle level speedster,
Speaker 1: without you know, putting up the ridiculous Jamar Chase numbers
Speaker 1: or DeVante Smith numbers. But Rasha Bateman, I think he's
Speaker 1: a player that's not being talked about enough. And you
Speaker 1: know you talked about. You wouldn't be shocked if Jalen
Speaker 1: Wattle got picked ahead of DeVante Smith. It wouldn't shock
Speaker 1: me if a Rasha Bateman was picked ahead of those guys.
Speaker 1: So I just think he's a talented, talented, pro ready
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and he produced on a team with Tyler Johnson.
Speaker 1: Is a true freshman. So there's not a lot to
Speaker 1: be concerned about rasha Bateman. I completely agree, obviously, you
Speaker 1: heard me in my frustration with you taking Rashad Bateman there.
Speaker 1: I'm am a huge fan Bateman has graded out extremely
Speaker 1: high in my greeting system here. So Bateman is someone
Speaker 1: who I'm a big fan of. You mentioned it. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have like one of the that like elite trait
Speaker 1: that we can point to and say like this is
Speaker 1: how he's going to win in the NFL. But yet
Speaker 1: one of the most well rounded prospects at the wide
Speaker 1: receiver position didn't have a crazy productive twenty twenty season.
Speaker 1: Now there was the he opted out originally and then
Speaker 1: opted back in and then opted out again, if I'm
Speaker 1: remembering correctly. So there's some questions here with Bateman. A
Speaker 1: lot of as I scan Twitter, a lot of Fantasy
Speaker 1: football Twitter is kind of down on him, And that's
Speaker 1: fine with me. I will gladly take Rashad Bateman at
Speaker 1: this discount. To get a talented player like him at
Speaker 1: the one oh nine I think is great value. I
Speaker 1: am am, I gonna do it, Am I gonna do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna throw my first curveball
Speaker 1: here and I'm gonna get spicy. Okay, So my top
Speaker 1: four wide receivers are all off the board. We in
Speaker 1: order Jamar Chase, Jalen Waddle for me, and then Davante
Speaker 1: Smith and then Rashad Bateman at number four. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take my number five wide receiver in this class. He's
Speaker 1: currently going in the third round of rookie ADP that
Speaker 1: I've seen, and that's Dwayne Eskridge, wide receiver out of
Speaker 1: Western Michigan. Eskridge from his ability, an incredible speed, probably
Speaker 1: going to run four three at his pro day, incredibly
Speaker 1: twitchy at the line of scrimmage. His release at the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage is something to behold. I he does
Speaker 1: have some concerns with drops. It's not always the most
Speaker 1: consistent as far as his receiving ability, but yet able
Speaker 1: to take any pass, run after the catchability and be
Speaker 1: able to turn it into a big gain. Explosive plays
Speaker 1: waiting to happen. Dwayne Eskridge is going to step into
Speaker 1: an NFL offense and immediately produce. I don't like him
Speaker 1: as a number one, Like you said, with a Darius Slayton,
Speaker 1: right that's not what I think that he's going to be.
Speaker 1: But yet, as a number two wide receiver in an offense,
Speaker 1: I think he's going to step down to the field
Speaker 1: and immediately produce. So this is not something that you're
Speaker 1: going to see. Typically you're not going to see Dwayne
Speaker 1: Escridge going in round one. However, I think that he should. This.
Speaker 1: You shocked me here. I knew you. I figured you
Speaker 1: were gonna go a little off, a little off scrip,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know you were gonna go to Estrich.
Speaker 1: But listen, he's a fast riser. A lot of people
Speaker 1: didn't know the name. He goes to the Senior Bowl,
Speaker 1: tears it up, and then you start looking at some
Speaker 1: of the numbers that he produced. Uh, you're right, he's
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna run fast. And there is buzz about
Speaker 1: him being a first round pick. And I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you right now, at this one eleven spot, Yates, if
Speaker 1: if this were a real rookie draft, if you're picking one,
Speaker 1: one eleven, one twelve, you probably have a really really
Speaker 1: good team, right you You If one eleven you were
Speaker 1: in the championship, you just barely lost. So I'm making
Speaker 1: this pick based on pure upside. Right, Yes, I could
Speaker 1: take Terrace Marshal or I could take a Jamark Jefferson,
Speaker 1: But those are those are good, solid, safe picks, right.
Speaker 1: I like those players. But I think a player that
Speaker 1: is not being talked about enough. That he was a
Speaker 1: top five wide receiver for me coming into the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty season, that is, that is factual. I had him
Speaker 1: top five coming into the season. The team start, he
Speaker 1: didn't play the whole year. It was a COVID field season.
Speaker 1: But I think the talent of this six foot four,
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty pound wide receiver that can run
Speaker 1: a four to three forty yard dash shocked at twenty
Speaker 1: three miles an hour. I'm taking to Marion Terry here
Speaker 1: at the one to eleven spot. Okay, I understand there
Speaker 1: are some off field attitudinal problems, some concerns. But if
Speaker 1: to Marion Terry hits, and I think he's probably going
Speaker 1: to be a second round pick in rookie drafts when
Speaker 1: it's all said and done. But if he hits, would
Speaker 1: you be shocked if two years from now, Yates, we're
Speaker 1: sitting here talking saying that he's a better wide receiver
Speaker 1: than more He's better than DeVante Smith, Like, would you
Speaker 1: be shocked if I told you two years from now
Speaker 1: to Marion Terry was one of the best wide receivers
Speaker 1: from this twenty twenty one class. I would not be
Speaker 1: shocked at all. I actually legitimately finished watching his tape
Speaker 1: earlier today and it graded him out and I was
Speaker 1: shocked at where he ended up. He ended up as
Speaker 1: a first round grade for me. So to Marion Terry
Speaker 1: from a talent perspective, absolutely and complete agreement with you
Speaker 1: here as far as where he should go and what
Speaker 1: he can do for an NFL offense. Now you mentioned
Speaker 1: it there the off field question marks with him leaving
Speaker 1: FSU or that's just a whole situation, right there's been
Speaker 1: there's been very little buzz about him as far as
Speaker 1: is he even in this NFL draft? I had to
Speaker 1: ask that question. I was like, is he even in
Speaker 1: this draft class? And turns out he did declare, So
Speaker 1: you're you're right here for selecting him. But from a
Speaker 1: talent perspective, absolutely, Now it's just going to be a
Speaker 1: matter of does he even get drafted. That's a that's
Speaker 1: a conversation, that's a question right now. If he doesn't
Speaker 1: get drafted. Guess what, He's not going anywhere near the
Speaker 1: first round of rookie mock drafts. But yet, at the
Speaker 1: same time, from a talent perspective and where we're sitting
Speaker 1: here in February, absolutely I think that he does belong
Speaker 1: in this conversation. Now, I have a tough decision here
Speaker 1: with the last pick, and I'm trying to figure out
Speaker 1: if I want to go wide receiver here or if
Speaker 1: I want to go running back. I've got my eyes
Speaker 1: on or two guys here. I am going to go, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go running back. I'll go Michael Carter. Jamonte
Speaker 1: Williams teammate at UNC and from a talent perspective and
Speaker 1: what he can bring to the table for an NFL offense.
Speaker 1: Think of Niheim Hines. Niheim Hines and his ability as
Speaker 1: a receiver out of the backfield. Now, people are going
Speaker 1: to hear that name and they're gonna say, like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't want nihem Hines on my dynasty roster. But yet,
Speaker 1: Michael Carter is not going to be a guy and
Speaker 1: that really there aren't any top tier talent guys in
Speaker 1: this draft class now at the running back position that
Speaker 1: we can sit here and say they're going to step
Speaker 1: into two hundred plus two hundred and fifty carries. Right,
Speaker 1: the guys that you're looking at, Kenneth Gainwell, A, Michael Carter,
Speaker 1: Jamar Jefferson even like those are going to be the
Speaker 1: guys who are change of pace backs, complimentary pieces out
Speaker 1: of the backfield. But Michael Carter what he brings to
Speaker 1: an NFL offense. You're talking about burst, You talked about
Speaker 1: the zero to sixty acceleration that Travis Etn possesses. Michael
Speaker 1: Carter is not far behind him. Men. His burst and
Speaker 1: ability to accelerate between the tackle's excellent vision. Was used
Speaker 1: as an outside zone runner frequently, so the lanes are there,
Speaker 1: but yet I still see it within the tackles, within
Speaker 1: the tackle box. His ability to see the field, be
Speaker 1: able to get open, and he is an angle buster
Speaker 1: out in the open field. His ability to freeze the
Speaker 1: safety or incoming defender and then accelerate around them is
Speaker 1: just outstanding. Excellent pass catcher out of the backfield too,
Speaker 1: So he's going to be an explosive play waiting to
Speaker 1: happen at the NFL level, And I think that he
Speaker 1: absolutely does belong in the conversation here at the back
Speaker 1: end of the first round, So to run through the
Speaker 1: draft again, that was Naji Harris at the one on one,
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, Davante Smith, travesy Ten, Javonte Williams, Jalen Waddle,
Speaker 1: Ron Dale Moore, Kyle Pitts, Rashad Bateman, Dwayne Eskridge to
Speaker 1: Marion Terry and Michael Carter. We got a little spicy
Speaker 1: there at the end, Ray, yeah, we did, but honestly,
Speaker 1: like it's not just doing it for the sake of
Speaker 1: I mean, at some point you have to make the
Speaker 1: decision based on your dynasty team. Do you want to
Speaker 1: go safe? Because I think Jamark Jefferson's a safe pick.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a superstar no matter how the
Speaker 1: things turn out. I think a player like Tomarion Terry
Speaker 1: could be a superstar type type Tarlen. So, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: a little spicy, but there's some sound reasoning behind some
Speaker 1: of those picks towards the end for sure. All right,
Speaker 1: let's move onto a listener mailbag here. Let's close this up.
Speaker 1: These are taking questions that, as I mentioned before, that
Speaker 1: we didn't get to the first time that we did
Speaker 1: a listener mailbag here, so wanted to double back and
Speaker 1: at least get too because again we talked about it,
Speaker 1: we had over like a hundred questions and so we
Speaker 1: wanted to double back and try to answer some of these.
Speaker 1: So at f Underscore Rebel, how many starting quarterbacks do
Speaker 1: you personally need to walk away with at a startup
Speaker 1: super flex league to be comfortable? And then signs it
Speaker 1: sincerely the guy who holds QB's hostage in a super
Speaker 1: flex league. So, how many starting quarterbacks do you personally
Speaker 1: need to walk away with at a startup draft? In
Speaker 1: my opinion, three to four or I think three starting
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and maybe a fourth upside play like last year
Speaker 1: would have been perfect to have three quarterbacks and then
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is your fourth there's an upside play. I
Speaker 1: think anything less than three you're playing with fire in
Speaker 1: a major way. That is exactly what I was going
Speaker 1: to say, three starting quarterbacks and then a fourth one
Speaker 1: that I feel like if the situation breaks their way,
Speaker 1: that they can get some significant playing time. Right. So,
Speaker 1: and I'll go a little bit more in depth to you,
Speaker 1: and I'll say I'm looking to walk away in a
Speaker 1: super flex league with two quarterbacks in my first four
Speaker 1: rounds if I'm not going to pass on value if
Speaker 1: one of the top two running backs falls to me
Speaker 1: in the first round or anything like that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: i want two of the top tier guys, and I'll
Speaker 1: take the shot there, and then later on I'll double
Speaker 1: back in the ninth, tenth round and I'll take a
Speaker 1: Derek car I'll take a you know, Matthew Stafford or
Speaker 1: whatever in a startup draft where that can be my
Speaker 1: third quarterback, where if I'm in a pinch, bye weeks, whatever,
Speaker 1: I can plug them in. I definitely want to have three, though,
Speaker 1: like you said, at any lesson that, you're definitely playing
Speaker 1: with fire. Jay Flesher asked Mac Jones or Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: in a super flex league. I see easy Matt Jones.
Speaker 1: Easy Mac Jones. He's younger, it's gonna be a first
Speaker 1: round pick, which gives him at least four years is
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback. I don't even know if Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: how much longer he's gonna be with Atlanta, how much
Speaker 1: longer he's gonna be in the NFL. So, especially in
Speaker 1: a in a startup, no doubt I'm taking Mac Jones.
Speaker 1: If I'm probably if I'm win now, I'm taking Matt
Speaker 1: Jones no matter how you slice it for me personally.
Speaker 1: For me personally, I'm gonna go to the other side.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Matt Ryan. Like you mentioned, he's towards
Speaker 1: the end of his career. Absolutely we have no idea
Speaker 1: how much longer he's going to be playing. But yet
Speaker 1: I still think that in my window right where we're
Speaker 1: playing in Dynasty of two to three years, I still
Speaker 1: think that Matt Ryan is going to be Fantasy relevant
Speaker 1: and he's someone that I know right I know what
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is going to bring to the table. Mac Jones,
Speaker 1: I do have the questions of, Okay, where how's he
Speaker 1: going to succeed? Is he to be surrounded with the
Speaker 1: best supporting Cassidy can They're just going to be those questions.
Speaker 1: If we find out his landing spot and you know,
Speaker 1: then talk to me, then I might have a different opinion.
Speaker 1: But as of right now, I have a little bit
Speaker 1: more questions with Mac Jones. I will take Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: in that situation. CG back five. As someone going into
Speaker 1: his first rookie draft with the one oh four and
Speaker 1: the one ten picks, what's the best approach to upgrading
Speaker 1: the running back position. The cost to move up in
Speaker 1: the draft it's a one QB full PPR. So for me,
Speaker 1: I will say at this it's perfect that we're answering
Speaker 1: this question after doing the rookie mock draft, because you're
Speaker 1: going to see that you can get a Travis Etn,
Speaker 1: you can get a Javonte Williams there at the one
Speaker 1: oh four, But yet after that it drives up pretty quick.
Speaker 1: So if you are in need of a running back,
Speaker 1: you're probably going to have to move up in the draft.
Speaker 1: But I will say this as another side, hold onto
Speaker 1: that pick and do not be afraid to sell that
Speaker 1: one oh four for a proven running back. As we
Speaker 1: get closer We've talked about it previously, right as we
Speaker 1: get closer to your rookie drafts, those picks are only
Speaker 1: going to increase in value. And you might have someone
Speaker 1: who says, I'm the biggest Travisy TN fan in the
Speaker 1: world and I want him on my team, or Javonty
Speaker 1: Williams or whatever. I'll trade you Joe Mixon for the
Speaker 1: one off four. I'll trade you one of these other
Speaker 1: you know, Miles Sanders, whatever. At that point you hit
Speaker 1: accept because you have the proven asset, you know what
Speaker 1: they're going to be, and they're more talent. Obviously, it's
Speaker 1: going to depend on who exactly you get offered, but
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you're going to see some running backs
Speaker 1: be offered your way with that one of four. If
Speaker 1: you dangle that out there, that are going to be
Speaker 1: better long term options in my opinion then a Travisy
Speaker 1: Tan or Javonti Williams without knowing their landing spot right now.
Speaker 1: Great advice. If if you're not getting nausey Harris in
Speaker 1: this draft, when the one of four rolls around, I
Speaker 1: would be shopping at four Joe Mixon, maybe a Mile Sanders.
Speaker 1: There may be some other running backs you know if
Speaker 1: they're if somebody is afraid of Jared Goff in Detroit
Speaker 1: and wants to get rid of DeAndre Swift, to upgrade
Speaker 1: to whomever that one of four pick is, because there's
Speaker 1: a chance it could be a Jamar Chase, it could
Speaker 1: be a Kyle Pitts. So I think that was the
Speaker 1: If it's Naja Harris, you take Naji. If not, don't
Speaker 1: be afraid to shop the one oh four and also
Speaker 1: don't reach at one ten if the best player on
Speaker 1: the board is Kyle Pitts staring you in the face
Speaker 1: at Rasha Bateman and you're you're sitting there thinking, oh,
Speaker 1: I need a running back. I'm just gonna take Kenneth Gaine. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take you know, Jamar Jefferson. I would
Speaker 1: really be trying to trade that one ten pick and
Speaker 1: move back. Completely agree at BFTG pod, this isn't really
Speaker 1: about rookie players. What's the best thing to do to
Speaker 1: improve your team? If you're a middle of the pack
Speaker 1: dynasty team, do you agree in blowing it up or
Speaker 1: do you keep trying to get better. I'll throw this
Speaker 1: to you first in the Lancer. Yeah, the worst place
Speaker 1: to be in dynasty is in the middle. You want
Speaker 1: to either be a competing team or you want to
Speaker 1: be real bad so you can get high draft picks.
Speaker 1: So it really depends on your league, your league mates.
Speaker 1: If you really think that you can maneuver enough to
Speaker 1: get better, then you do that right And if if
Speaker 1: you don't feel like not, all leagues are superactive and
Speaker 1: you can't really do a lot, so maybe your best
Speaker 1: bet I've done that and it's fun, like the joy
Speaker 1: of dynasty is having fun. I've got some teams where
Speaker 1: I've traded everybody Devontae Adams by A. J. Brown. But like,
Speaker 1: we'll get into this later, because there's strategy and there's
Speaker 1: method behind the madness of why in a rebuilding team
Speaker 1: you don't want to hold on to Devontae Adams. But ultimately,
Speaker 1: the worst place to be in dynasty is in the middle.
Speaker 1: So if you think you have a shot to compete,
Speaker 1: go ahead and go for it. And if not, you
Speaker 1: need to be one of the worst teams in the league.
Speaker 1: Completely agree. I wish that we had like disagreed more
Speaker 1: to at least provide some like better content, But no,
Speaker 1: like we're gonna agree a lot here because I think
Speaker 1: this is a sound strategy that you mentioned it, the
Speaker 1: worst place to be is in the middle in a
Speaker 1: dynasty league. I'm in complete agreement there because and I
Speaker 1: answered it this way, like only you can assessor. I
Speaker 1: answered it this question a similar question recently in an
Speaker 1: article that I wrote this, only you can assess your
Speaker 1: league and your roster and determine whether or not you
Speaker 1: have a legitimate chance to compete for a championship. Right
Speaker 1: if there is a team that has just made some
Speaker 1: incredible moves. They've drafted really really well throughout the years.
Speaker 1: They've got a stacked roster, and you know that you
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs, you are most likely going to
Speaker 1: get smacked by them. At that point, you sell, you rebuild,
Speaker 1: because at that point you know that you do not
Speaker 1: have a legitimate shot. If you assess your league and
Speaker 1: you say, okay, this team's pretty strong, but yet they're
Speaker 1: like one starting running back away from being irrelevant. Right,
Speaker 1: If they're starting running back goes down, then at that
Speaker 1: point I think I can beat them in the playoffs
Speaker 1: or whatever. At that point then you make some moves,
Speaker 1: you sell away some future picks or whatever to be
Speaker 1: able to position yourself to compete. Right, So that compete
Speaker 1: until you know that you can't. It is kind of
Speaker 1: the model here right. So again, but you mentioned it,
Speaker 1: the worst place to be in a dynasty league is
Speaker 1: in the middle. JVIV twenty six. Can you and Ray
Speaker 1: talk about the gap in differences in Kyle Pitts and
Speaker 1: Brevin Jordans. Kyle Pitts, obviously we talked about him tight
Speaker 1: end out of Florida and then Brevin Jordan tight end
Speaker 1: out of Miami, yeah. So for me, I think both
Speaker 1: both tight ends are very very high. For me, Brevin
Speaker 1: Jordan's the top three tight end in the class, and
Speaker 1: I mean he's pushing tight end two status. For me,
Speaker 1: I think he's a fantastic tight end prospect. But Brevin Jordan,
Speaker 1: make no mistake about it, he is a tight end.
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts has tight end designation, but he moves, he
Speaker 1: plays like a wide receiver. I think there's a pretty
Speaker 1: big gap between the two. Kama. However, I still think
Speaker 1: Brevin Jordan is still I believe he's a top twelve
Speaker 1: dynasty tight end in the making. I believe Kyle Pitts
Speaker 1: is an elite tight end. And when you when you
Speaker 1: ask this question, I want you to ask yourself, how
Speaker 1: big of a difference is Travis Kelsey, George Kittle, and
Speaker 1: Darren Waller compared to a Robert Tonyan who was also
Speaker 1: a top twelve tied end, you know, or a John Smith.
Speaker 1: There's a big difference. So, although Jordan is talented, Pitts
Speaker 1: has elite ceiling capability, and I don't think that's Brevin Jordan.
Speaker 1: I agree, And for me, actually there's another player in
Speaker 1: between these two. I don't know where you land on
Speaker 1: Pat Friarmouth, but the tight end out of Penn State.
Speaker 1: But I'm a big fan. He moves extremely well for
Speaker 1: someone who's two hundred and sixty pounds. Can be an
Speaker 1: inline blocker, but then a steady chain mover at the
Speaker 1: next level. So with the difference here of Kyle Pitts
Speaker 1: and Brevin Jordan, there's actually a pretty big gap because
Speaker 1: Pitts I have as like my top two or my
Speaker 1: number two overall player in this class as far as grading.
Speaker 1: But then Brevin Jordan still very talented, really like him,
Speaker 1: but he's my tight end three. I've got Friarmouth in
Speaker 1: between the two of them, Mister underscore eb who is
Speaker 1: this year's rookie wide receiver that people will regret letting
Speaker 1: fall to the mid second or third round of their
Speaker 1: rookie drafts Allah to m Terry McLaurin, Chase Claypool, and
Speaker 1: Brandon I Yuk. The past couple of years, I had
Speaker 1: two names come to mind, but I'll let you answer. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: I think one of them just came out of this
Speaker 1: exercise we did. I think Tomary on Terry. The most
Speaker 1: realistic possibility is He's probably going to be a second
Speaker 1: round pick in rookie drafts, and I do think if
Speaker 1: things line up for Terry, the organizational structure and him
Speaker 1: his talent right an opportunity, I think we will regret
Speaker 1: passing on Tomory On Terry. Therefore, I'm going to make
Speaker 1: sure that I acquire him across the board everywhere and
Speaker 1: the other players. North Carolina's wide receiver Dammy Brown back
Speaker 1: to back thousand yards seasons competing for targets with das
Speaker 1: k Newsom, who's a talented wide out on the other side,
Speaker 1: and then Carter and Javante Williams. I'm a big fan
Speaker 1: of Dammy Brown. Not quite a top ten wide receiver
Speaker 1: for me, but I do think he's got the talent.
Speaker 1: If he lands in a situation where he gets an
Speaker 1: opportunity to play early, I think he's going to produce
Speaker 1: at the NFL. Yeah, with Dimmi Brown, someone who I
Speaker 1: just scouted just the other day, really impressed, reminded me
Speaker 1: a lot of like Gabriel Davis and how he's utilized.
Speaker 1: I don't think Brown is going to blow away people
Speaker 1: as far as the forty R dash or anything like that,
Speaker 1: which Davis ran a four point five four with Brown,
Speaker 1: though he wins vertically a lot, and I think that
Speaker 1: he can fill that role in the NFL too, So
Speaker 1: very similar to how Davis has won at Buffalo right
Speaker 1: already through one season, I think that he could have
Speaker 1: a similar type of impact for me. The two guys
Speaker 1: that I was going to highlight, one was Dwayne Esquig,
Speaker 1: who we talked about. I think that if his ADP
Speaker 1: stays around this that range of the third round, which
Speaker 1: is where I'm seeing right now, then absolutely I think
Speaker 1: that he's going to be someone who makes an immediate impact.
Speaker 1: Another guy Monross Saint Brown. I don't know where you
Speaker 1: land with Saint Brown right now, but I am a
Speaker 1: big fan of his game. I think that he is
Speaker 1: a smooth route runner out in the open field, reminds
Speaker 1: me a lot of Robert Woods, and someone who I
Speaker 1: think can have that type of impact if he lands
Speaker 1: on the right offense. So I would not be shocked
Speaker 1: to see a monro Sat Brown go in the second
Speaker 1: or you know, or the early second of the NFL draft.
Speaker 1: I think that's how highly I think of him. So
Speaker 1: Saint Brown and Duyne Eskridge were the two guys I
Speaker 1: wanted to mention there, love it, love it. I'm high
Speaker 1: on Brown. I think I have him a wide receiver
Speaker 1: six for me overall? Oh perfect, Yeah, it's the same
Speaker 1: range for me. Let's go with Let's go with one
Speaker 1: more U Fantasy one five. How high are you willing
Speaker 1: to draft Kyle Pitts in a dynasty startup? So? How much? Do?
Speaker 1: Let's answer that one and then we've got a second part. So, Hi,
Speaker 1: how high are you willing to draft Kyle Pitts in
Speaker 1: a dynasty startup? Let's assume that it's just a one
Speaker 1: tight end format. Yeah, if it's just one tight end, um, gosh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I don't know, man, like I know. So for me,
Speaker 1: I think the better way I think to look at
Speaker 1: it is like where would he slide in in dynasty
Speaker 1: rankings overall? Right? Rather than rather than answering like a
Speaker 1: specific round, I think we and a better exercise would
Speaker 1: be where to see slide in? Right now? Yeah? For me,
Speaker 1: he's right there with Mark Andrews and the T. J.
Speaker 1: Hockenson like, he's right in that range. For me, he's
Speaker 1: he's he's after Waller, Kelsey and Kittle, And I wouldn't
Speaker 1: argue if you took him fourth after Waller or Kelsey,
Speaker 1: whoever you have it ranked, and I may take him
Speaker 1: over Mark Andrews. I mean for me personally, he's the
Speaker 1: top five Dynasty tight end. I know that may shock
Speaker 1: some people, but it's the top five Dynos tight end
Speaker 1: for me right now. So however, you have the fourth
Speaker 1: guy or the fifth guy, that's where i'd have Kyle Pitts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. I was gonna off the top of my head,
Speaker 1: I was like, tight end six sounds right, and that's
Speaker 1: right where he's gonna be for me. So yeah, wherever
Speaker 1: that falls in your startup draft, if you see you know,
Speaker 1: and again each league is different, You're gonna have some
Speaker 1: people who value that tight end position highly, and then
Speaker 1: you're gonna have some other leagues that let Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: or George Kittle or whatever fall to the second or
Speaker 1: third round. So, as far as answering the overall, very
Speaker 1: difficult exercise to do, but hopefully that at least provided
Speaker 1: some context Ray's looking looking at him as a top
Speaker 1: five guy. I'm right in that range as well. All right,
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for today's show. Again, a huge
