Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if I had a
Speaker 1: long weekend. I don't know where my head's at. But

Speaker 1: was Wednesday or Thursday. I would have believed you. It's
Speaker 1: just been that kind of week already. Yeah, man, I
Speaker 1: feel you, bro, I feel you, brother. All right. You

Speaker 1: and I can be found on Twitter as well at
Speaker 1: Kyle y NFL. We've got some news on tap for
Speaker 1: tonight that we're going to break through a breakdown from
Speaker 1: a Dynasty perspective. We've got twenty twenty one rookie sleepers,
Speaker 1: some guys that we think you should be paying attention
Speaker 1: to as we move into officially draft season, right as
Speaker 1: we look at the NFL Draft upcoming, and then getting
Speaker 1: ready for our Dynasty rookie drafts, taking a look at
Speaker 1: some guys that are flying under the radar, and then
Speaker 1: aid listener mailbag. We've got a ton of questions that
Speaker 1: we're going to try to rip through before we get
Speaker 1: into all that. We are giving away a signed at
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert full size Chargers helmet courtesy of our friends
Speaker 1: at Pristine Auction dot Com. Entering the contest is super easy,
Speaker 1: just complete these simple steps. One, head to Apple Podcasts

Speaker 1: Contest for more information. All right, ray, some news items here.
Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears have reportedly prioritized making a run at
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I just want to mention this man because
Speaker 1: I'm saying, if the Bears do trade for Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: I will be the most obnoxious person in the world.
Speaker 1: You will not be able to deal with me. I'm
Speaker 1: just throwing it out there and just saying, if this
Speaker 1: does happen, don't say that I didn't warn you. Zach
Speaker 1: Ertz could potentially be traded in the coming days. I
Speaker 1: just want to throw this to you really quick. Ray
Speaker 1: any optimism for Ertz's dynasty stock if he does end
Speaker 1: up let's just say in Indianapolis with reuniting with Carson Wentz, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think he becomes a solid veteran value.
Speaker 1: Nobody that I'm going to prioritize. But if you can
Speaker 1: get zach Ertz, you it's it's just like the stock
Speaker 1: market man. You you you buy the room or sell
Speaker 1: the news. So if there is any any opportunity for
Speaker 1: ERTs to regain any type of value, you get him
Speaker 1: for dirt cheap right now. It's worth the shot man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: super cheap, but you know, don't go over paying. I
Speaker 1: am at least on board with going out and acquiring
Speaker 1: him wherever I can, because I think that you can't
Speaker 1: get him super super cheap, and again not as someone
Speaker 1: who I would love to have as my tight end
Speaker 1: one on my Dynasty roster. If I can have him
Speaker 1: as a depth piece, I'm on board with that. Eagles
Speaker 1: owner Jeffrey Lurie is instructing the team to prioritize Jalen
Speaker 1: Hurts as the starter going into next season. Now, I
Speaker 1: still don't think that this discounts or takes quarterback off
Speaker 1: the board at number six overall. If Zach Wilson falls
Speaker 1: to them at number six overall, if Justin Fields is there,
Speaker 1: I think they're going to have a very very tough time,
Speaker 1: you know, passing on one of those guys. But all
Speaker 1: indications at this point are saying that they're not going
Speaker 1: to be players in free agency. They're going to move
Speaker 1: forward with trying to build the roster around Jalen Hurts. So, Ray,
Speaker 1: does this move the needle at all for you? We
Speaker 1: talked about Jalen Hurts and our Dynasty Quarterback rankings episode
Speaker 1: that we did a couple back. If you're looking for
Speaker 1: where our rankings are on Jalen Hurts, you of course
Speaker 1: can go back and listen to that. But this is
Speaker 1: move the needle for you at all on Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: his dynasty stock or is this kind of just what
Speaker 1: we expected and we're going to keep, you know, keep things.
Speaker 1: That's the way that they are. I believe I had
Speaker 1: Hurt said quarterback thirteen. It doesn't move the needle, but
Speaker 1: it solidifies the needle for me, and I do think honestly,
Speaker 1: quarterback was never a thought for me personally. I just
Speaker 1: never thought that was going to be a possibility for Philly.
Speaker 1: I mean, when they took Jalen Hurts in the second round,
Speaker 1: it seemed like they were he started four games, man,
Speaker 1: he started four games at the end of the season,
Speaker 1: give him a shot. You know. I think what this
Speaker 1: does is it locks him in for twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: and if you're a contending team. We saw his fantasy
Speaker 1: production with limited opportunity with starters. He had no offensive line,
Speaker 1: no wide receiver help. I think it is a foregone conclusion.
Speaker 1: I'm just calling my shot here. They are going to
Speaker 1: draft Jamar Chase if Penny Soools not on the board,
Speaker 1: They're gonna surround Hurts with as many weapons as possible,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna try to see what he can do,
Speaker 1: and I think that's a good move for Philly, to
Speaker 1: be honest with you. Yeah, we'll see what happens as
Speaker 1: we moved throughout the off season, but as of right now,
Speaker 1: it does look like they're moving forward with Hurts in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. And then finally, this bro just before
Speaker 1: we started recording. Here tonight, Dak Presscott, come on down
Speaker 1: and get your money. Dak Presscott signed a contract extension
Speaker 1: four years, one hundred and sixty million dollars. Now, if
Speaker 1: you're looking for Yates, I did You didn't know this.
Speaker 1: I want to yell, but my boys are right next
Speaker 1: door and I can't do it. But I did not
Speaker 1: see that. I literally just got arm You didn't see this, Yeates,
Speaker 1: I did not see like. I literally put my arms
Speaker 1: up in Jubilatian because here and that I just drove
Speaker 1: from downtown Dallas. I would have pulled over and dance
Speaker 1: with my pants down. How do I know this happened?
Speaker 1: But no, I did not know this. This is this
Speaker 1: is breaking news for me. I did not know this.
Speaker 1: This is awesome. Yeah, this broke just before we started recording.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Deak Presscott signed a four year, one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty million dollars extension. If you're looking for a
Speaker 1: breakdown of what all this in tails, you can find
Speaker 1: the breakdown of this and all the other information on
Speaker 1: our Fantasy News app. You can download this on the
Speaker 1: Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Our news
Speaker 1: desk does a just phenomenal job of gathering this information.
Speaker 1: There are much more of a breakdown there, but is
Speaker 1: a ton of money up front. As far as is guarantee.
Speaker 1: It is a ridiculous contract. So really really happy for Dak.
Speaker 1: This is something that we kind of expected. We talked
Speaker 1: about this on our Quarterback Rankings podcast saying that you know,
Speaker 1: we expect Dak Prescott to be in Dallas and at
Speaker 1: least for the next season, whether under the franchise tag
Speaker 1: or whatever. Nope, he's going to be in Dallas for
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. Great news for Seedee Lamb and Marii Cooper,
Speaker 1: Michael Gallop of course, the running backs there and then
Speaker 1: the tight ends that you and I both like here.
Speaker 1: So Dak Prescott quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys foreseeable future,
Speaker 1: and Ray just found out all right, twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: rookie sleepers here, So we haven't broken down like our
Speaker 1: official rankings yet, Ray, we haven't gone in depth on
Speaker 1: these guys as far as who you know overall running
Speaker 1: back rankings for us and wide receivers. People have a
Speaker 1: pretty good idea of who the top guys are. But
Speaker 1: I thought it would be beneficial for us to sit
Speaker 1: down and go through some of the guys that towards
Speaker 1: the bottom of this class as far as adp or
Speaker 1: public perception. However, we want to classify it and at
Speaker 1: least put the spotlight on them for a little bit,
Speaker 1: because the guys that you can hit in your third round,
Speaker 1: your fourth round of rookie drafts can absolutely make a
Speaker 1: difference for your dynasty roster. So wanted to take a
Speaker 1: look at these guys. We're gonna go from five to
Speaker 1: one and one being like our top sleeper, the guy
Speaker 1: that we're super super excited about heading into this rookie class. So, Ray,
Speaker 1: I'll throw it to you here at number five in
Speaker 1: your twenty twenty one rookie sleepers. Who are we talking about? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got the unt the University of North Texas blur
Speaker 1: Jaden Jalen Darden, the small wide receiver, just explosive, fast,
Speaker 1: big time playmaker. I know he played at a small
Speaker 1: school at UNT Conference, USA, but there was a quote
Speaker 1: from Jamar Chase of LSU, you know, probably the number
Speaker 1: one wide receiver off the board in the draft. During
Speaker 1: an interview, they asked Chase who's been the most impressive
Speaker 1: player that he's seen throughout the workouts. In his respond
Speaker 1: was Jaylen Darden. So I think he's a player who's
Speaker 1: probably going to be a day three pick, probably early
Speaker 1: day three pick. And somebody that you know most of
Speaker 1: your league mates aren't thinking about. And Jayalen Darden at speed,
Speaker 1: that versatility, that explosiveness, that playmaker and nobility is somebody
Speaker 1: that you know, hey, is well worth a shot. Did
Speaker 1: I like write down this entire blurb like somewhere and
Speaker 1: you like copied it and just read it as it
Speaker 1: was your Because this is literally everything that I was
Speaker 1: going to say as my number five guy was Jalen Darden.
Speaker 1: I was going to mention the interview on the Move
Speaker 1: the Sticks podcast with Damion Jeremiah and Jamar Chase talking
Speaker 1: about I'm a big fan of Darden and I put
Speaker 1: this out when I was going through his tape and
Speaker 1: I said that, and I said that Jayalen Darden is
Speaker 1: everything that people want to to at well to be
Speaker 1: as far as with two two people are like enamored
Speaker 1: with him talking about him in like the first round,
Speaker 1: second round. I don't see it, man, I just don't
Speaker 1: see that that side. I know right that, like lateral mobility,
Speaker 1: there's none of that there. Now, he can be a
Speaker 1: touch you know, behind the a touch pass guy behind
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. You put him in motion. He's fast,
Speaker 1: of course when he builds up momentum. But Jalen Darden
Speaker 1: is explosive. He's shifty, good hands, can be a guy
Speaker 1: that you can get the ball to in space, let
Speaker 1: him create. Now, I don't think that he's going to
Speaker 1: be someone who can go over the middle of the
Speaker 1: field and make those contested catches in tight windows. But
Speaker 1: I don't think it's one of those things like you
Speaker 1: got to catch him first. So I think Darden has
Speaker 1: the ability to stretch the field from the slot as well,
Speaker 1: being a guy who you can utilize out wide on posts, crossers,
Speaker 1: deep crossers, but then slot fades like. He just has
Speaker 1: a ton of versatility and what he can bring to
Speaker 1: an offense, A really really exciting player. I think that
Speaker 1: he's going to end up going higher in the NFL
Speaker 1: Draft than people think, and I want to at least
Speaker 1: you know, you said day three pick, I'd probably again
Speaker 1: there's something that I was gonna say so, but again,
Speaker 1: like someone I think that can go in the fourth
Speaker 1: round of the NFL Draft and end up making an
Speaker 1: impact right away. So love the call here obviously him
Speaker 1: as my number five guy too. Jalen Darden, wide receiver
Speaker 1: out of North Texas. All right, let's go back to
Speaker 1: you here for number four. And I'm telling you, if
Speaker 1: you're reading like my notes or somewhere like that, don't
Speaker 1: take my guy here at number four. Just warning you
Speaker 1: right now. I don't. I don't have your notes. But
Speaker 1: a player that I really like is an athletic tight
Speaker 1: end out of Old Miss. And it just seems like
Speaker 1: Old Miss just has skill position players for days, right,
Speaker 1: But I'm talking about Kenny Eboa, six foot four, two
Speaker 1: hundred and forty five pound athletic tight end. He was
Speaker 1: All SEC thirteen this past season. He was on the
Speaker 1: John Mackey Award watch list as one of the nation's
Speaker 1: top tight ends. And he's just an athletic playmaker. Man.
Speaker 1: We've seen these these athletic freaks out of old miss
Speaker 1: like DK METCALFEJ Brown, Elijah Moore's. They are Dawson Knox,
Speaker 1: and now Kenny Eboa transferring from Mississippi State. I just
Speaker 1: like his talent. Man. And when you're talking about the
Speaker 1: tight end position, you're gonna miss out on Pits at
Speaker 1: the top and Frear Muthan Jordans. So who are some
Speaker 1: of those later round tight ends? And no one's really
Speaker 1: talking about Kenny Eboa. And he's got tons of side,
Speaker 1: tons of athletic ability, and he's a player that in
Speaker 1: the later rounds of your rookie drafts. I'm talking late
Speaker 1: round three, early round four. Heck, I was even getting
Speaker 1: him in round five, and a couple of mocks that
Speaker 1: I've done, he's definitely worth the He's definitely worth that
Speaker 1: cost because of the upside. Now I haven't watched you
Speaker 1: Bowie yet, He's on my radar. He's on my list
Speaker 1: of guys to watch at the tight end position. So
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm glad to hear that you are a
Speaker 1: fan that you think that he can absolutely make an
Speaker 1: impact at the next level. I think that he's someone
Speaker 1: that I have put like a little star next to
Speaker 1: his name, you know, before it, because I've heard other
Speaker 1: people hyping him up. So we're looking for those guys
Speaker 1: in the third fourth round that we can take at
Speaker 1: the tight end position, and we can just stash right
Speaker 1: those guys that we can just let sit at the
Speaker 1: bottom of our roster, let them acclimate to the NFL level.
Speaker 1: If they turn out to be something down the road,
Speaker 1: then great. If they don't, you know, it's a third
Speaker 1: fourth round pick, it doesn't really matter. So but I
Speaker 1: do like that you're mentioning him here because I do
Speaker 1: think from what I've heard, from what I've seen in
Speaker 1: the limited you know, opportunities, is that you Bowa does
Speaker 1: have the talent to make an impact at the NFL
Speaker 1: level and real he was actually he was actually at Temple.
Speaker 1: I had the colors the Mississippi State colors and um
Speaker 1: the Temple colors mixed up, but he was at Temple
Speaker 1: before transfer into oh Miss. The colors. Can we talk
Speaker 1: about this really quick? The colors in the college football
Speaker 1: game and what they do from in my mind from
Speaker 1: a scouting perspective, mess with me so much. UCF, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt,
Speaker 1: those three schools there's another one in there that I'm forgetting.
Speaker 1: Those three schools with those color schemes, I get them
Speaker 1: confused all the time. I have no idea who plays
Speaker 1: at what school. I can tell you the players, I
Speaker 1: just can't tell you which one of those three schools
Speaker 1: that they play at. The only ones we know are
Speaker 1: Oregon right, highlighter yellow. That's Oregon, right, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Otherwise it's just a crapshoot. Okay, So my number four guy,
Speaker 1: my sleeper in this class. I'm gonna take a look
Speaker 1: at Jonathan Adams Junior, the wide receiver out of Arkansas,
Speaker 1: Arkansas State sixty three, two twenty pounds, has some of
Speaker 1: the best highlight real catches in this higher class. For
Speaker 1: everything that you see DeVante Smith do, Jamar Chase, of course,
Speaker 1: I mean Jalen Waddle has some jaw dropping like Jonathan
Speaker 1: Adams put him up there with some of these highlight
Speaker 1: reel catches. He's a big physical presence limited route tree.
Speaker 1: He was lethal against the competition that he played on
Speaker 1: go routes. On nine routes. They just said just go,
Speaker 1: you know, just literally just go and we'll huck it
Speaker 1: up to you. And it worked. So why not just
Speaker 1: continue to do it? Needs development at that in the
Speaker 1: ret running and the route tree that he's asked to do.
Speaker 1: But good athlete for his size, able to get out
Speaker 1: of his stance really quickly, accelerate off the physical you know,
Speaker 1: can excel off release, off the line of scrimmage, excellent
Speaker 1: deepall tracking ability, can go up and high point the
Speaker 1: football against anyone with his size, excellent vert I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna just at his pro day, I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna put up jaw dropping numbers here in the vertical
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So really really physical, big body
Speaker 1: presence now my only qualification here. And think I was
Speaker 1: watching him and I was getting Hikim Butler vibes right.
Speaker 1: And I was a big fan of Butler. I loved
Speaker 1: what he was doing, what he was able to do,
Speaker 1: But the NFL obviously didn't. And now Butler's being converted
Speaker 1: to a tight end in Philadelphia. So I just don't
Speaker 1: know how the NFL is going to value this guy.
Speaker 1: But from a talent perspective, big big fan, he's flying
Speaker 1: completely under the radar. There are very few people talking
Speaker 1: about Jonathan Adams Junior. But I did want to mention
Speaker 1: him because I think he has the talent to make
Speaker 1: an impact. Now, it's all gonna come down, dude, what
Speaker 1: does the draft capital, what does he get? What's the
Speaker 1: landing spot that's going to dictate where exactly we take
Speaker 1: him in drafts. But if I'm sitting here right now,
Speaker 1: I'm willing to take him as a late third, you know,
Speaker 1: early fourth round pick in rookie drafts because I think
Speaker 1: he can make an impact at the next level. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that. Now there are more and more people
Speaker 1: starting to sort of talk about Jonathan Adams, and I
Speaker 1: think he talking about sleepers here. We're not telling, We're
Speaker 1: not telling the listeners. These are players you go out
Speaker 1: there and take in the top half of your rookie draft.
Speaker 1: These are sleepers. And I think Jonathan Adams fits the
Speaker 1: mold of of a sleeper pick. So I really really
Speaker 1: liked that when Yates so my third pick, I'm my
Speaker 1: third guy at number three. I'm gonna stick it with
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position, and I'm gonna go to a
Speaker 1: player who was highly touted coming out of high school,
Speaker 1: Nico Collins, the wide receiver out of Michigan. And listen,
Speaker 1: let me just tell you something Michigan is like the
Speaker 1: black hole where high level recruits just go to die.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just under under Jim Harbaugh. It has
Speaker 1: not been what Michigan fans thought that he would bring
Speaker 1: to the table, and Nico Collins is no exception to that.
Speaker 1: So as freshman season didn't do much, but back to
Speaker 1: back seasons and I know this sounds gross, I know
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound good, but he had over six hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty yards in back to back seasons on thirty
Speaker 1: seven receptions and thirty six receptions. I mean that's crazy,
Speaker 1: Like the the the yardage he was putting up in
Speaker 1: limited opportunity at six withoot three six four two hundred
Speaker 1: fifteen two hundred pounds, He's got that prototypical size to
Speaker 1: be and and athletic alpha wide receiver at the next level.
Speaker 1: At the Senior Bowl, they said he was one of
Speaker 1: the most impressive players at the Senior Bowl. Now went
Speaker 1: throwing him the ball. If you have not seen Shaye
Speaker 1: Patterson or Joe Milton or Wilton Spit or John o'corn
Speaker 1: throw the ball, be thankful because none of them are
Speaker 1: anymoe and that's who Nico Collins was catching passes from
Speaker 1: so players like this, you have to they're like a
Speaker 1: clay mool do. You have to think about if they
Speaker 1: hit the right landing spot right, if they get in
Speaker 1: the right system. He has the physical ability and the
Speaker 1: tools to develop into something and he's the perfect late round.
Speaker 1: Stash him on your taxi squad and just let him
Speaker 1: marinade and develop and bake a little bit longer, and
Speaker 1: you could have something special in your hands with Nico Collins.
Speaker 1: So while you were talking about Collins, I went back
Speaker 1: and pulled up my summer scouting notes on Collins and
Speaker 1: from this past year, right when I sat down to
Speaker 1: start scouting the twenty twenty one class. Literally in my
Speaker 1: summer player notes, I have need to see Collins with
Speaker 1: a different quarterback before I assign a final evaluation because
Speaker 1: another note, horrific quarterback play, particularly downfield, never even gave
Speaker 1: his wide receivers a chance like so then need to
Speaker 1: see Collins with a different quarterback. And then he opted
Speaker 1: out this season and I didn't get that opportunity. So
Speaker 1: Collins is just a huge question mark for me because
Speaker 1: the talent, the pedigree you mentioned at five starts like
Speaker 1: it's all there for Nico Collins to make an impact
Speaker 1: at the NFL level, But I just don't know what
Speaker 1: version of him I'm getting. Now, I'll go back and
Speaker 1: I'll watch the Senior Bowl, and but that's I don't
Speaker 1: want to put too much weight on the Senior Bowl, right,
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to put a ton into that.
Speaker 1: I want to emphasize the tape. Well, then the tape
Speaker 1: just leaves a ton of question marks because he can't
Speaker 1: even be hit when he's wide open deep downfield because
Speaker 1: his quarterback just sails the ball on him. Right. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I like the call because Collins absolutely could turn into something. Now,
Speaker 1: my question is where exactly is he valued? Right, because
Speaker 1: I don't think that he is truly a sleeper because people,
Speaker 1: I mean he is, but yeah, I don't think that
Speaker 1: he's going to go in the back end of the
Speaker 1: third or fourth round, or if he's in the same
Speaker 1: class as Jonathan Adams, right, because people know who Nico
Speaker 1: Collins is because of his recruiting background, because of the
Speaker 1: platform that he played on at Michigan. So a lot
Speaker 1: of people know about him. But yet I just don't
Speaker 1: know where exactly he's gonna go in rookie drafts, right, now,
Speaker 1: because I don't know what his ADP is, what's the consensus,
Speaker 1: because he does have the background, but yet he does
Speaker 1: have all these question marks. Yeah, I don't that's I mean,
Speaker 1: that's fair, right. I think if I were just throwing
Speaker 1: it out there right now, based on some things that
Speaker 1: I've seen, it looks like he's going to be a
Speaker 1: late third, early fourth round pick in rookie drafts. Just
Speaker 1: and all of this is subject to change as we
Speaker 1: get closer to the actual, as we hit the NFL
Speaker 1: Draft and see the draft capital. But yeah, I get it, man,
Speaker 1: And that's why some of these guys you're just I mean,
Speaker 1: you're literally just taking the talent and you're crossing your
Speaker 1: fingers and hoping he lands with the Pittsburgh Steelers, you know,
Speaker 1: who routinely develops wide receivers. It's one of those things.
Speaker 1: I don't feel as confident that Nico Collins is going
Speaker 1: to become something, but if there is a player who
Speaker 1: can you realize that potential. I do believe Nico Collins
Speaker 1: has that ability. 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. If you've been listening to this podcast,
Speaker 1: for any length of time. You already know about Reality

Speaker 1: Sports online dot Com. For me number three, I'm going
Speaker 1: to talk about Larry Rountree, running back out of Missouri.
Speaker 1: I came away impressed with his tape. Now, I don't
Speaker 1: think that he is going to attract the same level
Speaker 1: of attention or buzz as the top guys in this class,
Speaker 1: but I believe that he's going to be a mid
Speaker 1: round steal for an NFL team. Smooth runner out in space,
Speaker 1: has really good burst and acceleration, can be extremely effective
Speaker 1: in a downhill running scheme. No nonsense runner, great short
Speaker 1: area quickness and acceleration ability. Was really really impressed with it.
Speaker 1: And then does have is a natural receiver as well.
Speaker 1: So I think that he's not going to be a
Speaker 1: guy who can step in and be a workhorse back,
Speaker 1: right He's a sleeper for a reason. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: did come away really impressed with his tape and someone
Speaker 1: who I'm at least putting the spotlight on. I'm putting
Speaker 1: an asterisk next to his name because I'm really really
Speaker 1: interested to see where the draft capital is for him.
Speaker 1: But the talent is there to be a significant contributor
Speaker 1: as a part of a rotational backfielder or something like that.
Speaker 1: Came away with Impressed with a round tree. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: what I like about what he was able to do,
Speaker 1: and I know this was a long time ago, but
Speaker 1: he also was a really really good kick returner as
Speaker 1: a true freshman at Missouri. And what I say is,
Speaker 1: I'm always looking for players in dynasty. I want players
Speaker 1: who have an opportunity to get an opportunity, and a
Speaker 1: player like Larry Rowntree, he's going to have to make
Speaker 1: you a name for himself on special teams, whether that's
Speaker 1: on kickoff, kick return and the fact that he did
Speaker 1: show an ability to return kicks, maybe that's what gives
Speaker 1: him the slight edge to get on the field and
Speaker 1: make that fifty three. So not a bad call. Not
Speaker 1: as impressed with him as a runner, you know, the
Speaker 1: sort of decline as junior and senior season, and I
Speaker 1: know the senior season was shortened, but we're talking about
Speaker 1: sleepers here in the fact that he does bring the
Speaker 1: return game to us element. I really really liked that man. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I love that you mentioned that. As far as bringing
Speaker 1: that to the table, that's something that I didn't have
Speaker 1: in my player card here for Larry Rountree as far
Speaker 1: as the kick return, So yeah, you mentioned it. That
Speaker 1: is the ability to make an impact. Right, if you
Speaker 1: have that in your repertoire, you can be someone who
Speaker 1: can make an impact and get at least stay on
Speaker 1: a depth chart. And again I'm not saying that he's
Speaker 1: going to be a guy who an NFL team is
Speaker 1: going to give him the keys to the kingdom, but
Speaker 1: a depth piece of rotational backfield, and if the starter
Speaker 1: goes down in front of him, I think he has
Speaker 1: the talent to at least capitalize on that opportunity. Listen,
Speaker 1: if the slug Jamal Williams can return kicks, Larry Round
Speaker 1: return kicks. I don't hate the call at all, but listen,
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna miss Kyle, if I'm gonna miss on
Speaker 1: one of these sleepers, damn, and I'm gonna miss fast.
Speaker 1: And there's nobody, not one single player in this twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one class or probably the twenty twenty class, faster
Speaker 1: than Anthony Schwartz. I mean literally world class speed. I
Speaker 1: mean as a as a as a high schooler, he
Speaker 1: set world youth records in the hundred meter dash, like
Speaker 1: almost sub ten seconds in the hundred meter dash, almost
Speaker 1: sub twenty seconds in the two hundred. I mean that
Speaker 1: is that is Olympic speed. He really and I'm not
Speaker 1: just saying this, he could be an Olympic sprinter. That's
Speaker 1: how fast Anthony Schwartz is. And playing on the theme
Speaker 1: of this show is bad college quarterbacks, which Yates, I know,
Speaker 1: you say a lot of it and bo Nix he's
Speaker 1: not Michigan bad, but he's not very good either. But
Speaker 1: catching passes from bow knicks just didn't go super well
Speaker 1: for Anthony Schwartz. But when he gets the ball in
Speaker 1: his hand, man that the speed is just it is.
Speaker 1: It's mesmerizing and he has that. In the NFL, we've
Speaker 1: seen year after year they are suckers for speed and
Speaker 1: Anthony Schwartz has no shortage of that. So as my
Speaker 1: second player on this list, I am very much interested
Speaker 1: in him, and I do believe as time goes on,
Speaker 1: the sleeper status of Anthony Schwartz will definitely wear off
Speaker 1: when some of the prote numbers come in and you know,
Speaker 1: the speed zealots start to take a hold of him.
Speaker 1: But right now where we stand, if you're in any
Speaker 1: kind of dynasty startups, right now, Anthony Schwartz is a
Speaker 1: player that I'd be targeting pretty late and just saying,
Speaker 1: you know what, he's fast, We'll see what we can
Speaker 1: do with him. And that's really what it boils down to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at the top of my player notes here for Anthony Schwartz,
Speaker 1: I've got Schwartz is a big play waiting to happen
Speaker 1: on the football field due to his long speed. I mean,
Speaker 1: you talk about speed four days and you mentioned if
Speaker 1: you're gonna miss you're gonna miss fast. I think that
Speaker 1: he doesn't have elite burst or agility. He's more of
Speaker 1: a player that wins with momentum, So I think you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to rely on some scheme touches get him
Speaker 1: out in space. But once he is out in space,
Speaker 1: good night, You're not catching like he's taking it to
Speaker 1: the house. So he's someone who I'm really I was
Speaker 1: really impressed with. As far as the rule that he's
Speaker 1: going to be asked to phill I don't think that
Speaker 1: he's a well rounded receiver. I think that he definitely
Speaker 1: has some things to work on and refinement at the
Speaker 1: next level. But for a offensive coordinator that wants that
Speaker 1: big explosive play, the chunk plays, who can get him
Speaker 1: out in space, I think that Schwartz is a perfect
Speaker 1: option there, and again we're talking about sleepers. We're talking
Speaker 1: about these guys who are flying under the radar as
Speaker 1: a third or fourth round pick. I think that he's
Speaker 1: got the talent to be able to be someone that
Speaker 1: I'm willing to take the shot on for me at
Speaker 1: number two. I'm really interested to see what you think
Speaker 1: of this player, because there seems to be a divide
Speaker 1: on Romander Stevenson, the running back out of Oklahoma, six
Speaker 1: foot listed at two hundred and forty six pounds, comes
Speaker 1: to the Senior Bowl weighs in at two hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty seven pounds. So now I already have a question
Speaker 1: of Okay, what did you play what's your film at?
Speaker 1: Were you just like grossly overlisted or did you actually
Speaker 1: play at two forty six and now you came into
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl at two twenty seven. Regardless, I really
Speaker 1: like Romandre Stevenson's film. I came away really really impressed.
Speaker 1: I think that he carries his weight extremely well, great body,
Speaker 1: control able to I mean it's evident in his spin
Speaker 1: moves too, like you can just see it where he
Speaker 1: carries his weight extremely well, doesn't have the extra gear
Speaker 1: that some of the other running backs that would move
Speaker 1: him up into this top tier for me, Like when
Speaker 1: he gets to the open field, he's not pulling away
Speaker 1: from anyone, but he consistently reached the second level on
Speaker 1: tape and when you Oklahoma used him on both stretches
Speaker 1: and outside zones and stuff like that, but then also
Speaker 1: lining up and pistol pulling guards, and when he was
Speaker 1: behind those pulling guards, he was excellent. I saw a
Speaker 1: fantastic vision. Now he did miss some holes here or there,
Speaker 1: it went kind of off on his own. So he again,
Speaker 1: he's a little bit of a project. Only one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty five total carries and college, so still a
Speaker 1: little bit of a project, someone that I think requires
Speaker 1: some development. I don't think that you're gonna plug him
Speaker 1: in immediately and he's gonna start for an NFL team
Speaker 1: and be a two hundred and fifty touch guy or
Speaker 1: anything like that. But I do think that he has
Speaker 1: the ability to come in get early day three capital
Speaker 1: in the NFL draft, then develop, and when he gets
Speaker 1: the opportunity, I think he's going to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1: Because I was a big, big fan, so I'm interested
Speaker 1: because again I mentioned that there is a divide here
Speaker 1: on Stevenson, so some people see him as like this
Speaker 1: plotting back. I didn't see that, but I'm interest interested
Speaker 1: to see what's your thoughts here on Stevenson. Oh yate,
Speaker 1: So okay, you can disappear, Okay, okay, So here's my thing.
Speaker 1: If he gets early day three draft capital, I will
Speaker 1: reevaluate where I stand today. I think he's like a
Speaker 1: fifth round pick, fifth round pick, sixth round pick. When
Speaker 1: I watched him on tape, what I saw was versus
Speaker 1: third stringers versus South Dakota. He ripped off some big runs.
Speaker 1: Versus a poorous Kansas defense. He ripped off some big
Speaker 1: runs on those stretch stretched zone plays. Versus Baylor. I
Speaker 1: am seeing him getting beaten to the outside by outside
Speaker 1: linebackers versus Baylor, which for me does not bode well
Speaker 1: for what he's gonna do at the next level. If
Speaker 1: he's going north and south, I'm okay with him. East
Speaker 1: and west is not his game. I think he has
Speaker 1: exceptional footwork. I do for it for a larger back.
Speaker 1: I think he has exceptional footwork. I just wish that
Speaker 1: he had the burst and the athleticism to accompany his feet.
Speaker 1: I don't think Travis Etn has has really good footwork personally,
Speaker 1: just just me I see, but Etn is very very
Speaker 1: fast and he's explosive. I think Romandre Stevenson has better
Speaker 1: footwork than Travis Etn, but his lack of burst and
Speaker 1: a built if you're getting hawked down versus Baylor outside linebackers,
Speaker 1: when that's Isaiah Simmons on the outside, when you're having
Speaker 1: to deal with Lavonte David, when you're having to deal
Speaker 1: with Jalen Smith, I just I struggled to see how
Speaker 1: successful he can be for fantasy. I think he's going
Speaker 1: to be a good depth piece in the NFL. But
Speaker 1: for fantasy, I just if he gets early early, I
Speaker 1: mean fourth round, I will reevaluate, But anything after that,
Speaker 1: I am pretty much out. I've got him ranked outside
Speaker 1: of my top twelve running backs right now, but I
Speaker 1: like his feet. So it's interesting because I think if
Speaker 1: an NFL team does deploy him as the same style
Speaker 1: as a Raheem Moster and these guys that we've seen
Speaker 1: succeed in Kyle Shanahan's outside his own scheme, if they
Speaker 1: were deploying him like that, I don't think they got
Speaker 1: their head on, right. I don't think that that's what
Speaker 1: his game is, but plays with a very low pad level,
Speaker 1: low center of gravity, able to break tackles, easily, embrace contact,
Speaker 1: and just keep his feet moving. And it's interesting too,
Speaker 1: because you mentioned three games that you watched there. Those
Speaker 1: are not the three games that I watched and watched
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State in twenty twenty, Texas Tech in twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: in Florida in twenty twenty, so really interested to see.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back. Let's do this. Let's go back
Speaker 1: and let's each watch some of these games. Right, You
Speaker 1: go back and watch Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Florida, and
Speaker 1: then I'll go back and I'll try to find the
Speaker 1: tape on you said Baylor, Would you say Kansas, Kansas
Speaker 1: and South Dakota. Yeah, those are twenty nineteen, twenty twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: and the other two or twenty nineteen. Okay, I'll go
Speaker 1: watch that Baylor one from twenty twenty because I'm really
Speaker 1: interested to see what his tape looks like in there.
Speaker 1: But I came away and pressed with the games that
Speaker 1: I watched Oklahoma State, Texas Tech in Florida. So that'll
Speaker 1: be a guy that I'm really interested to see what
Speaker 1: you think. This is a learning thing, man, and I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people should like do this, right,
Speaker 1: you challenge me, Hey, go back and check out what
Speaker 1: I saw. I'll go back and look at what you saw,
Speaker 1: and then let's reconvene. And that's what this that's what
Speaker 1: this is about. Because I don't know what there may
Speaker 1: have been. I may have just watched the wrong games
Speaker 1: right and just watch them on bad days or or
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. But this is what this
Speaker 1: process is geared to do. And as you the listener
Speaker 1: hear this, you hear one side of the coin. You
Speaker 1: hear the other side of the coin. Now you go
Speaker 1: back and check it out for yourself and see what
Speaker 1: you You know, It's not about me being writer Yates
Speaker 1: being right. We're just giving you what our opinions. Now
Speaker 1: you take that information and go back and do your
Speaker 1: own due diligence. Absolutely. I yeah. And this is one
Speaker 1: of the things with scouting and why scouting is just
Speaker 1: so hit or miss is because for us as talent
Speaker 1: evaluators in our own right here from a fantasy football
Speaker 1: perspective and stuff like this, like the games matter, the
Speaker 1: games that you're watching can be drastically different depending on Okay,
Speaker 1: was the starting offensive linemen that you know is just
Speaker 1: a Mallard? Was he out that game? And that makes
Speaker 1: a difference, you know, But then also scouting the traits
Speaker 1: and trying to take this stuff away like it could
Speaker 1: have just been he was hampered by an injury and
Speaker 1: it wasn't reported, or different things like this, all trying
Speaker 1: to get as many games as you can. Well, that's
Speaker 1: the issue here with twenty twenty is that we don't
Speaker 1: have all the games from these guys. Like some guys
Speaker 1: Nico Collins, we just finished talking about it. He didn't
Speaker 1: play in twenty twenties. So there's just so many things
Speaker 1: that are missing from the talent evaluation standpoint this year
Speaker 1: that is going to make some drastic hits and some
Speaker 1: drastic misses this year. But there's a guy that you've
Speaker 1: got here up at number one who I am a
Speaker 1: fan of as well, and I think that if all
Speaker 1: things go his way, I think he could be one
Speaker 1: of those drastic hits. Let's talk about Elijah Mitchell Yates.
Speaker 1: This is my James Robinson of twenty twenty one. I
Speaker 1: love Elijah Mitchell. I love him. I mean, you know
Speaker 1: production from his you know, limited production as a freshman,
Speaker 1: but it's a sophomore over almost a thousand yards rushing.
Speaker 1: He had almost three hundred and fifty yards receiving comes
Speaker 1: back in his junior season, almost twelve hundred rushing yards
Speaker 1: you know, another ten receptions, and then this past season
Speaker 1: in ten games, he almost hit that nine rushing yard
Speaker 1: mark sixteen receptions while sharing a backfield with Trey Ragas.
Speaker 1: So listen. At five ft eleven two hundred fifteen two
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty pounds, he can do it all. He's
Speaker 1: a three down thread. He can run between the tackles.
Speaker 1: He's got smooth feet. He's not a blazer, right, I
Speaker 1: probably what a high four or five guy, low four
Speaker 1: six and to four yeah yeah, if yeah, But he
Speaker 1: can do it all. And I just think his game
Speaker 1: is predicated. An NFL team is going to fall in
Speaker 1: love with Elijah Mitchell. I think he's gonna be a
Speaker 1: Day three pick, you know, round four, if he can
Speaker 1: get that round four draft capital, round five. I think
Speaker 1: he's going to make a team as a backup. He's
Speaker 1: gonna have to show show well on special teams, but
Speaker 1: he's a player that I think, if given the opportunity,
Speaker 1: his game just screams NFL contributor and not saying he's
Speaker 1: gonna be some star or some top twelve, you know,
Speaker 1: running back right off the bat. But I do like
Speaker 1: his game quite a bit. Yeah again, you know, I
Speaker 1: keep going back to my player notes, and for me,
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell. Mitchell's not the flashiest running back prospect in
Speaker 1: this class, but he's very productive in his opportunities. He
Speaker 1: thrives on running downhill and building up ahead of steam
Speaker 1: would be excellent in a downhill running scheme. I think
Speaker 1: that he just produces with his opportunity and elusive in
Speaker 1: tight windows. Surprising top end speed for a playvor size two.
Speaker 1: That was something that stood out to me. Willing to
Speaker 1: punish a defender that meets him in the hole, too,
Speaker 1: excellent power to really really well rounded running back. And
Speaker 1: again I don't think that he We talk about Travis
Speaker 1: e Tn and his speed like that's one of the
Speaker 1: things that we can Javonte Williams and his contact balance,
Speaker 1: Naji Harrison. I mean, he's well rounded on a whole
Speaker 1: other level than Elijah Mitchell, right, But so there's not
Speaker 1: that one trait that we can look at with Elijah
Speaker 1: Mitchell and kind of hang our hat on and say
Speaker 1: this is how he's going to win in the NFL.
Speaker 1: But yet does have the talent and just the overall
Speaker 1: ability to produce in his opportunity. So yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that he is going to be a late round steel
Speaker 1: Now again, it's just really interesting to see how the
Speaker 1: NFL values him that is going to dictate what his
Speaker 1: fantasy stock looks like. But glad that you mentioned him
Speaker 1: here because he is someone that I wanted to talk
Speaker 1: about as well. Glad that you mentioned Elijah Mitchell. I'm
Speaker 1: going to finish it out here with a guy who
Speaker 1: I put in the first round of our one QB
Speaker 1: rookie mock draft that we did a couple of episodes ago,
Speaker 1: and it was more so to say, like, I know,
Speaker 1: this guy is not going to actually go in the
Speaker 1: first round of rookie mocks, but I think that he should.
Speaker 1: And the consensus thought on Dwayne Eskridge, wide receiver out
Speaker 1: of Western Michigan is that he is a third round,
Speaker 1: fourth round rookie picks rookie pick in some places. I
Speaker 1: am a big, big fan of Duyne Eskridge. Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: the popular comp out here is that I've been seeing
Speaker 1: is Will Fuller. I think that he has that level
Speaker 1: of speed to be able to take the top off
Speaker 1: of a defense. He's also excellent after the catch where
Speaker 1: you can get in the ball in space and then
Speaker 1: just let him pick up chunk gains. Good route runner.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing that really really impressed me with
Speaker 1: Eskridge is his release at the line of scrimmage. Every
Speaker 1: single snap he is fighting to create separation, and he's
Speaker 1: doing this and succeeding every single snap, like he is
Speaker 1: able to just create separation, constant fighting with his hands
Speaker 1: to be able to keep defenders, keep his frame clean,
Speaker 1: and then acceptate he has the acceleration and burst because
Speaker 1: one of the things that you're watching when you're watching
Speaker 1: release at the line of scrimmages, Okay, you're able with
Speaker 1: the wide receiver. Some of these wide receivers, they're able
Speaker 1: to create the separation, they're able to get the defender
Speaker 1: on their heels or they're able to fight them off
Speaker 1: with their hand create that space. But then do they
Speaker 1: have the acceleration and burst to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1: And some of these guys, like example, Jonathan Adams Jr.
Speaker 1: I like, I think that he can win in a
Speaker 1: different way than what I talked about earlier. He has
Speaker 1: good burst for his size, but it's not going to
Speaker 1: be enough where he takes advantage of NFL caliber defenders
Speaker 1: getting on their heels and then accelerating and getting the
Speaker 1: inside leverage and positioning to be able to then you know,
Speaker 1: set up his next break or whatever. Escridge has that
Speaker 1: Eskridge has the ability to be able to create that
Speaker 1: separation and then it opens up so many different options
Speaker 1: for him. So really really excited for him. I'm I
Speaker 1: think that when it's all Sadden done, he's going to
Speaker 1: be a second round NFL draft pick. I think the
Speaker 1: NFL is going to fall in love with this guy.
Speaker 1: We're going to start to see a lot of hype
Speaker 1: around him as we move towards the NFL Draft. I
Speaker 1: just want to get him onto everyone's radar right now
Speaker 1: because I think that he is completely undervalued and I'm
Speaker 1: really really excited to see where he lands. So I've
Speaker 1: got to say this, Yates, and I'm coming to your
Speaker 1: defense here, brother. I'm coming to your defense because I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people saw that We're like, oh
Speaker 1: my God, it's crazy. It's Ron Kyle. But the more
Speaker 1: that time has gone on, I listen to other podcasts
Speaker 1: and I'm reading things, I don't think it's as crazy
Speaker 1: as people make it seem. Okay, because while I do
Speaker 1: believe he's going to be probably he's not falling out
Speaker 1: of the second round. You could bet that, Like I'll
Speaker 1: bet the house on that. I think he's got a
Speaker 1: I think there is a chance, a chance that an
Speaker 1: NFL team in the back of the first round takes
Speaker 1: a shot on him. Okay, and if that happens, if
Speaker 1: he gets first round draft capital, early second round draft capital,
Speaker 1: I'll say he's going to be closer to the one
Speaker 1: twelve than he is the three twelve. Put it that way.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a player with that speed and
Speaker 1: that draft capital. And listen, I know he was in
Speaker 1: college for about ten years. That's my only Now he's
Speaker 1: been in college a long time, right, But with that
Speaker 1: draft capital in his production, his two way ability. I
Speaker 1: talk about the dynamism a lot. I want those players
Speaker 1: that can return kicks, return punts, well, that's Estrich. I
Speaker 1: believe he's one of the nation's leaders in all purpose
Speaker 1: yards as well. But again, I just I'm coming to
Speaker 1: your defense here because I've heard quite a few people
Speaker 1: on different platforms, on different networks pick him really really high,
Speaker 1: maybe like right around the two o two two oh three.
Speaker 1: So again, I do believe when it's all said and done,
Speaker 1: he's going to be closer to the one twelve than
Speaker 1: he is the three twelve. And you can quote me
Speaker 1: on that screen, record this whatever you want, but I
Speaker 1: do believe that's I don't think you're as far off
Speaker 1: as people want to make that same man. To be
Speaker 1: honest with you, yeah, I'm a big, big fan of
Speaker 1: his game, and I think that he's going to make
Speaker 1: an impact right away. All right, So my top or
Speaker 1: my five sleepers, just to go back through those, Jalen
Speaker 1: Darden wide receiver out of North Texas, Jonathan Adams junior
Speaker 1: wide receiver out of Arkansas State, Larry Rowntree the third
Speaker 1: running back out of Missouri, Romander Stevenson running back out
Speaker 1: of Oklahoma, and then Dwayne Eskridge wide receiver Western Michigan.
Speaker 1: Ray you want to run through year five? Yeah, my
Speaker 1: five Jalen Darden out of North Texas, Kenny u Boa
Speaker 1: from Ole, miss Nico Collins at three from Michigan, two
Speaker 1: Anthony Schwartz out of Auburn, and number one Elijah Mitchell
Speaker 1: from Louisiana, The Rage and Cajuns. All right, well that
Speaker 1: does it for our twenty twenty one Rookie Sleepers conversation.
Speaker 1: Let's move into a listener mailbag again. You guys can
Speaker 1: submit your questions when we put out a post over
Speaker 1: on Twitter. That's why you should be following us Twitter
Speaker 1: dot com. Of course, raygq que and Kyle y NFL.
Speaker 1: We got a couple of questions here or not a couple.
Speaker 1: We got more than a couple that we're going to
Speaker 1: try to get through here before the end of this episode.
Speaker 1: So Aggie Bass eighty five on Twitter. Maybe too early
Speaker 1: for this one, but top ten dart throws? Who Rookie
Speaker 1: Wise and or Vette are you willing to throw a
Speaker 1: dart at and hope that they come out as a
Speaker 1: taxi slash? Deep bench deep bench stash? So top ten?
Speaker 1: I'm not doing a top ten. I'm sorry, that's just
Speaker 1: way too much. We did. We did a Under the
Speaker 1: Radar Dynasty Bias episode a few back that you can
Speaker 1: go back and listen to, because that's got some names
Speaker 1: on it that are good dart throws in there, but right,
Speaker 1: just off the top of your head, I mean, I've
Speaker 1: got one that I can talk about that I did
Speaker 1: mention in that Dynasty Bias episode. As far as a
Speaker 1: dart throw, is there anyone that jumps to your mind
Speaker 1: is a Dynasty dart throw someone who are just saying
Speaker 1: I'm going to add them to the bottom of my
Speaker 1: bench and just let's just see what happens Dynasty, right,
Speaker 1: not rookie draft, just Dynasty dart throws. Dynasty in general. Yep,
Speaker 1: tight ind Donald Parham from the Los Angeles Chargers. There
Speaker 1: you go. If they let Honter Henry walk, Parham is
Speaker 1: in line now, they could very well draft the tight
Speaker 1: end in the draft. But dart throw Parham cost you
Speaker 1: literally nothing, nothing exactly. Donald Parham is a Dynasty dart throw.
Speaker 1: For me, I love that call. That was I did
Speaker 1: not see that coming, but I love that called X
Speaker 1: He was XFL right, he was A ye. I don't
Speaker 1: remember which league it was, but yeah, I mean tremendous
Speaker 1: size and he did flash last year. He had I
Speaker 1: think he had one or two big plays that Yeah,
Speaker 1: if he gets that opportunity, couldn't make a contribution there
Speaker 1: for for Dynasty. For me, I talked about JJ Taylor
Speaker 1: running back out of Arizona was his college, and then
Speaker 1: he's now in New England with James White heading towards
Speaker 1: free agency. I do think that JJ Taylor is going
Speaker 1: to step into that receiving back workload. Uh you know
Speaker 1: that role here in New England. Now, who the quarterback
Speaker 1: is and what the offense looks like, that of course
Speaker 1: will dictate his overall Dynasty outlook. But again we're talking
Speaker 1: about a dart throw. Some of that you can pick
Speaker 1: up everywhere in Dynasty League. So JJ Taylor running back
Speaker 1: really really impressed. He's a receiving back, kind of reminded
Speaker 1: me of terk Cohen him and out. That's kind of
Speaker 1: his frame too. Is a smaller back, but tremendous hands.
Speaker 1: I think can make an impact when he gets that opportunity.
Speaker 1: So Andrew Ericson, of course, Andrew Rickson over at PFF asked,
Speaker 1: what's the move on Henry Ruggs. Do we hold out
Speaker 1: for a bounce back or get out now before his
Speaker 1: value hits rock bottom? You want to answer this one first? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you have to hold and I give all
Speaker 1: these ricky wide receivers, the ones who did not do
Speaker 1: well year one. I give him a little bit of
Speaker 1: grace because of the season, right and everything with the offseason.
Speaker 1: My thing with moving Henry Ruggs now is you would
Speaker 1: truly be selling at rock bottom. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you can trade him for at all. So he's still
Speaker 1: a first round pick. He can stretch the field. You
Speaker 1: hold Henry Rouge. You don't trade him right now because
Speaker 1: your your return on that is going to be so
Speaker 1: bad you're not even gonna want to take the deal.
Speaker 1: Would you even give Do you think you can get
Speaker 1: a second for him right now? Because I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. So you're not accepting a third
Speaker 1: round pick for Henry Rugs. You gotta hold him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm actually looking to acquire Rugs where I can. I
Speaker 1: think the past couple of classes and the guys who
Speaker 1: have made an impact right away have warped our perception
Speaker 1: of rookie wide receivers and the impact that they're supposed
Speaker 1: to make. You remember, like a few years ago, everyone
Speaker 1: was saying, like, hey, rookie wide receivers, they take a
Speaker 1: couple of years to acclimate, right, Like no, Well, now
Speaker 1: we've got guys like Justin Jefferson and Ceedee Lamb, you know,
Speaker 1: and making highlight reel catches and stuff like that. There
Speaker 1: was one year of Henry Ruggs in this offense that
Speaker 1: I mean, the offense is not fantastic. It runs through
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, Darren Waller's there of course, and then John
Speaker 1: Gruden just does not want to use Henry Ruggs in
Speaker 1: the way that he should be used. So there are
Speaker 1: some questions, right, Like I there are definitely things that
Speaker 1: have to progress and change in order for Rugs to
Speaker 1: hit his true ceiling. Because the talent is there. I
Speaker 1: mean I had Ruggs as my number two wide receiver
Speaker 1: coming out last year for a reason, like he is
Speaker 1: just an absolute stud. So I think the talent is
Speaker 1: still there. He's someone that I'm willing to wait a
Speaker 1: little bit here and again even acquired because again, you
Speaker 1: can get them super super cheap. I think you can
Speaker 1: get them as a third round maybe even fourth round
Speaker 1: pick in some cases, as like that throw in We
Speaker 1: talked about it all the time, that throw in option
Speaker 1: on a bigger trade or something like that. If you
Speaker 1: can get Rugs, I love making that move because I
Speaker 1: am willing to hold at least another year here to see. Okay,
Speaker 1: what does it look like when we reevaluate and answer
Speaker 1: this question next year? At Harvey one hundred, I have
Speaker 1: the one oh four. The wide receivers and the running
Speaker 1: backs in that range are dominant, but I am not
Speaker 1: good at quarterback at all. Would you give up that
Speaker 1: talent and take a quarterback for the team? So I
Speaker 1: guess I'll just answer this really quick, Like that point,
Speaker 1: you do not sacrifice that value at the one oh
Speaker 1: four to reach on a quarterback, especially if this is
Speaker 1: a one quarterback league like that wasn't specified, but I'm
Speaker 1: assuming that's a one quarterback league. So at that point,
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence probably isn't going to go off the board
Speaker 1: until the one eight one oh nine in your casual leagues,
Speaker 1: and then you still have guys like Trey Lance justin fields,
Speaker 1: like all these guys that can make an impact trade down,
Speaker 1: like get out of that pick, or get a proven
Speaker 1: veteran right at the running back position, or or a
Speaker 1: proven quarterback right like I think you can. If your
Speaker 1: league overvalues the position, then go trade that for a
Speaker 1: proven veteran quarterback or trade down or something like that.
Speaker 1: But don't stay there at the one oh four and
Speaker 1: take the quarterback. I think that that would just be
Speaker 1: sacrificing and reaching, sacrificing on value and reaching just a
Speaker 1: little bit. So, Ray, do you have anything else that's
Speaker 1: different than that you want? No, you hit the nail.
Speaker 1: You don't do that. If this is a single quarterback
Speaker 1: league and you are in need of a quarterback, then
Speaker 1: you trade back. But you definitely do not in a
Speaker 1: single quarterback league take any quarterback at the one oh
Speaker 1: four spot, especially when you could probably get a trade
Speaker 1: lance at the end of the second adjustin field's midst
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, no no, no, somebody will trade you,
Speaker 1: move back, acquire picks, get a quarterback later. Don't do that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: especially because you do have other teams that are sitting
Speaker 1: there and saying I need a running back, and there's
Speaker 1: gonna be some guys are at the one oh four,
Speaker 1: So then they're willing to pay up and move up.
Speaker 1: You can just switch that, you know, switch those picks,
Speaker 1: take the extra draft capital, and rebuild your roster. At
Speaker 1: b ball Club on Twitter out of Brian Edwards, kJ Hamdler,
Speaker 1: and Jacoby Myers, which one are you cutting bait on?
Speaker 1: This One's actually pretty easy for me, But I want
Speaker 1: to hear what you're thinking. Oh, it's easy for you,
Speaker 1: which means I'm gonna pick the guy that you probably
Speaker 1: would cut and or wouldn't cut, and I'm letting go of.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go kJ Hamdler. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: he'd be the one I would cut bait on New England.
Speaker 1: When have they seen a commitment to add pass catching weapons?
Speaker 1: I don't know. And Jacoby Myers was arguably the best
Speaker 1: pass catching weapon that they had last year. Hamdler now
Speaker 1: has to compete with Jerry Judy, a healthy Courtland Sutton.
Speaker 1: We don't know who's throwing him the ball. And for me,
Speaker 1: it's just an undersized wide receiver that I'm keeping Brian
Speaker 1: Edwards and I'm keeping Jacoby Myers on this one. For me,
Speaker 1: I'm cutting Jacoby Myers. I'm keeping kJ Hamler and Brian Edwards.
Speaker 1: So with Myers, I think you mentioned it like with
Speaker 1: New England, when was the last time, well, they didn't
Speaker 1: have a wide receiver need as drastic as what they
Speaker 1: have this year, and they're sitting towards the top of
Speaker 1: the league in terms of available cap space. We talked
Speaker 1: about some of the free agent wide receivers that are
Speaker 1: upcoming here with our Free Agency Outlook episode that we
Speaker 1: did a cup last week. They have the potential to
Speaker 1: just either sign one or two one or two of
Speaker 1: these guys because the rest of the league does not
Speaker 1: have this cap space in hand, right, They do not
Speaker 1: have that cash to be able to spend and bring
Speaker 1: in some of these talented guys with you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: Corey Davis could be a guy that they bring in.
Speaker 1: I mean you could even double down and add in
Speaker 1: a proven veteran of a t Y Hilton and then
Speaker 1: look at the draft and they add in Jalen Darden
Speaker 1: in the fourth round or whatever like. I think that
Speaker 1: they have the potential to do that. And at that point,
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers, who was an undrafted free agent, yes, he
Speaker 1: performed well in his opportunity, but his opportunity was because
Speaker 1: there was literally no one else on that roster that
Speaker 1: had any sort of talent. So I think Myers was
Speaker 1: a product of his opportunity rather than an overall talent
Speaker 1: that I think is worth betting on. kJ Hamdler big
Speaker 1: big fan of love this speed element to his game.
Speaker 1: Think he's a well rounded receiver in his own right.
Speaker 1: I think that he can if Denver upgrades at the
Speaker 1: quarterback position, handler should be fantasy viable. And then Brian
Speaker 1: Edwards has the talent. I'm not quitting him just yet.
Speaker 1: So point let me ask you this, nikkil Harry or
Speaker 1: Jacobe Myers? Which one Myers? In that point? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: just you know, I'm just as I'm thinking through it,
Speaker 1: like I can't knock, Like I agree with you with Hamdler.
Speaker 1: What free agent wants to come to New England? Like
Speaker 1: who unless it's just about the money, who's throwing in
Speaker 1: the ball? Cam Newton, Jared Stidham. I just it might
Speaker 1: be bad for New England for a while. I think
Speaker 1: that's the overall sentiment, like do we want any of
Speaker 1: the past there? Really? Right? Right? And at that point,
Speaker 1: I mean, no, I don't want Myers, but you know,
Speaker 1: if that's the the option, then I'll take him. But
Speaker 1: what compared to Brian Edwards and Kenjra Hamdler, I'll let
Speaker 1: I'll let Myers walk. This one's really interesting, right and
Speaker 1: I'm really interested to hear your thoughts. At Anderson ninety
Speaker 1: nine NHL rebuilding team in a super flex league. Okay,
Speaker 1: does he sell Mahomes and Tyreek Kai or try to
Speaker 1: build around them? And then he provided they provide a
Speaker 1: little bit more context to the roster. The other other
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are Jimmy Garoppolo and Drew Locke, so kind of
Speaker 1: gross also own Courtland Sutton and two first round picks
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one plus two first round picks in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. And then they put in quotations the
Speaker 1: rest of the roster our parentheses. The rest of the
Speaker 1: roster can more or less be ignored. Okay, so you
Speaker 1: need to re They essentially need to rebuild this roster
Speaker 1: in a big, big way. So it all comes down, dude,
Speaker 1: do you actually, if you're a rebuilding team in a
Speaker 1: super flex league, do you actually look to sell pa
Speaker 1: Rick Mahomes Because you're going to be able to get
Speaker 1: a king's ransom for him, And the same with Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 1: Even at his you know he's getting up there own
Speaker 1: age and stuff like this, he's still going to be
Speaker 1: a very very productive wide receiver for the for civil future.
Speaker 1: So do you actually look to sell Patrick Mahomes and
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill? The short answer is you look to sell
Speaker 1: anybody given the right price. The problem is, and this
Speaker 1: is what I love about Dynasty. It's the game theory aspect.
Speaker 1: If his roster is pretty much more or less can
Speaker 1: be ignored. If I know that's all you really have,
Speaker 1: and I know you're if you're thinking you're desperate to
Speaker 1: move them, I'm not gonna give you an arm and
Speaker 1: a leg like I'm just not because your roster, probably
Speaker 1: even with Mahomes and Tyreek, probably isn't good enough to
Speaker 1: win it. And you're not going to be that bad
Speaker 1: with them. You're going to be decent as far as
Speaker 1: you're into season finished. So to sell those two, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about what I would even accept Patrick Mahomes. I
Speaker 1: would want at least three first round picks, and that
Speaker 1: was what I had in mind too, just for my homes.
Speaker 1: And if I'm selling Mahomes and Hill to the same
Speaker 1: Dynasty manager, that stack is even more valuable. So I'm
Speaker 1: thinking if we're just talking strictly picks, yates, and I
Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't want to confuse it with players.
Speaker 1: I need at minimum five first round picks at before
Speaker 1: I could even even start taking this seriously. And I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about the one twelve and the one eleven.
Speaker 1: I want one, one, one O two, one oh three.
Speaker 1: So but I don't think Mahomes and Tyreek Is is
Speaker 1: bad to build around. But if I were going to
Speaker 1: move one of them, it would be Tyreek Hill, not
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. But I would need at minimum three high
Speaker 1: first round picks to even consider trading Patrick Mahomes. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: The five first round picks. It was exactly what I
Speaker 1: had in mind too, so I think that's an absolute haul.
Speaker 1: I think that I'm fine selling Tyreek Hill at this
Speaker 1: point because the end for him will come sooner than
Speaker 1: it will for Patrick Mahomes obviously, so I think with Mahomes,
Speaker 1: I'm still willing to build my super flex team around
Speaker 1: him rather than you know, the combination of the two
Speaker 1: and try to sell him away and then try to
Speaker 1: eventually find a Patrick Mahomes again in the draft, which
Speaker 1: probably just isn't going to happen. So if I can
Speaker 1: get Tyreek Hill, I can sell him for two first
Speaker 1: round picks, one this year, next year, whatever, then that
Speaker 1: at least I have three first round picks this year
Speaker 1: to build around and add some talent, and then I'm
Speaker 1: entering into a long term rebuild right and just adding
Speaker 1: the talent and trying to make some savvy moves as
Speaker 1: I go along. So yeah, I'm fine with that. I
Speaker 1: don't think that you have to sell both of them.
Speaker 1: If I'm looking to sell one of them, I am
Speaker 1: looking to sell Tyreek though. At jack Rose Underscore twelve.
Speaker 1: Who is a safer pick at the one O nine
Speaker 1: and who has a higher ceiling between Rashad Bateman wide
Speaker 1: receiver out of Minnesota, Rondale Moore wide receiver out of Purdue,
Speaker 1: and Terrace Marshall wide receiver out of LSU. So who
Speaker 1: is this safer pick at that spot and who has
Speaker 1: the higher ceiling out of those three? I think the
Speaker 1: safer pick is undoubtedly Rashod Bateman, and I'd argue that
Speaker 1: his ceiling is probably just as high as the player
Speaker 1: that I would say, Rondel Moore. But I think Rondel
Speaker 1: Moore's ceiling is incredibly high because of the versatility that
Speaker 1: he brings to the game, what he can do. You know,
Speaker 1: he's one of those players. You know, we see Robert
Speaker 1: Woods catch eighty ninety passes a season and then give
Speaker 1: you twenty five carries, which that's added value. Rondel Moore
Speaker 1: can easily do that and probably score you a punt
Speaker 1: return touchdown for in a game here or two in
Speaker 1: a season. But Rashot Bateman, I think when you're talking
Speaker 1: about a prospect with if you're just saying where are
Speaker 1: the red flags? I don't see much of any at all.
Speaker 1: I think he's incredibly safe with a very high ceiling.
Speaker 1: And I like Terrace Marshall as well. But if I
Speaker 1: had to say who's the safer pick at one or nine,
Speaker 1: rashat Bateman because we know exactly how he could be
Speaker 1: used at the NFL inside outside, Rondel is going to
Speaker 1: be a slot receiver. Terris Marshall, you know, we just
Speaker 1: haven't seen him be the guy for consistent for an
Speaker 1: extended period of time. So I think Rashad Bateman is
Speaker 1: a safer pick. Ceiling is probably a tie for me
Speaker 1: between Bateman and Rondelle. Yep, that's exactly what I was
Speaker 1: gonna say. Bateman is the safer pick. I think that
Speaker 1: it is an extremely high ceiling in his own right.
Speaker 1: But yet the ceiling for Rondale Moore is just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Now as far as I really don't see Terris Marshall
Speaker 1: having the ceiling and impact landing spot could change that,
Speaker 1: but as far as like the overall ceiling, I just
Speaker 1: don't see it with Terris Marshall to that level. I
Speaker 1: think that he's got a lot of refinement that he
Speaker 1: has to work on to get to the at the
Speaker 1: next level, an extremely low floor. I don't know exactly
Speaker 1: where you feel on what your feelings are on Marshall,
Speaker 1: but I just feel like he is a very boom
Speaker 1: bust pick. Yeah, I'm with you on that. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's like Rashad Bateman. I think regardless of where
Speaker 1: he lands Yates, he's going to be a good wide
Speaker 1: receiver period. I can't say the same thing about Marshall.
Speaker 1: I think depending on where he lands, he could be
Speaker 1: a really good wide receiver a really bad wide receiver
Speaker 1: as well. Yep, same here Graham on Twitter. I've been
Speaker 1: offered the one oh five plus the three, twelve and
Speaker 1: four oh one for Michael Thomas. Now, we talked about
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas on the last episode as far as sell
Speaker 1: now before it's too late, so giving your views on
Speaker 1: MT as a guy to sell, would you be taking
Speaker 1: this offer feels risky. When I'm not in rebuild mode,
Speaker 1: I'd be going wide receiver with a pick, and Chase
Speaker 1: will probably be gone to mar Chase will probably be
Speaker 1: gone by the one oh five and a twelve team
Speaker 1: full PPR. So essentially looking to make the trade of
Speaker 1: a one oh five for Michael Thomas, who is the
Speaker 1: guy that you'd be taking there at the one oh five.
Speaker 1: You probably have DeVante Smith, at Jalen Waddle and Rashad
Speaker 1: Bateman all on the table. Is that worth it for
Speaker 1: you to make that trade of Michael Thomas now? And
Speaker 1: we've talked about this, Yeah, I'm one who will move
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, but not for the one oh five, like
Speaker 1: and we talked about it. His name alone should fetch
Speaker 1: you a little bit more than that. If you're telling
Speaker 1: me I can get the one oh five and the
Speaker 1: two five now we can talk. But the one oh
Speaker 1: five and then the three twelve, three twelve and the
Speaker 1: four I went do absolutely nothing for nothing. And if
Speaker 1: Chase is gone, if you know Michael Thomas or DeVante
Speaker 1: Smith or Michael Thomas and Rashat Bateman is what you're
Speaker 1: looking at. And as much as I love both of
Speaker 1: those players, you're praying that they turn into Michael Thomas,
Speaker 1: So just for the one oh five, you can get more,
Speaker 1: So I would not make that deal. Yeah, same here
Speaker 1: for me, I think you can get a little bit more.
Speaker 1: I think it's close. I don't think you're going to
Speaker 1: be able to get much much more, especially with MT
Speaker 1: coming off the season that he did, but I would
Speaker 1: personally be looking to get just a little bit more
Speaker 1: there for Michael Thomas at the day Man forty one,
Speaker 1: this is my first time doing a dynasty league. I
Speaker 1: have the last pick in a twelve team league for
Speaker 1: the startup draft. Also means that I have the first
Speaker 1: pick in the rookie draft, so you get to select.
Speaker 1: You know you're doing that selection. You get the last
Speaker 1: pick in the startup draft, and then you get to
Speaker 1: choose where you're drafted in the in the rookie pick,
Speaker 1: knowing I can have Trevor Lauren for his career. Do
Speaker 1: I go big with my startup draft and try to
Speaker 1: win now or play safe? So this is a really
Speaker 1: interesting overall philosophy question, and I'll throw it to you first.
Speaker 1: What do you think you should do here? If you
Speaker 1: do have that rookie pick, that one on one where
Speaker 1: you know that that can turn into Trevor Lawrence. Does
Speaker 1: that mean that you are just going all out, You're
Speaker 1: taking the proven veterans and you're you know, punting. You know,
Speaker 1: we talked about the what was it the productive struggle approach?
Speaker 1: Like we talked about that, like are you going to
Speaker 1: go that route or are you going to try to
Speaker 1: get the value where it falls and get those proven veterans. See,
Speaker 1: I think the beauty of startups and the beauty of
Speaker 1: dynasty leagues are A you can let the board fall
Speaker 1: to you and B you can have so much fun.
Speaker 1: So if you just want to load up on young players,
Speaker 1: I guarantee you'll have an opportunity to do that. If
Speaker 1: it's super flex, I bet you Joe Burrow sitting there
Speaker 1: at the one twelve, you can go Burrow and Lawrence
Speaker 1: and now you are loaded at QB for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 1: If it's a quarterback, they're gonna be some great picks.
Speaker 1: There could be a Johnathan you know that, DeAndre Swift
Speaker 1: waiting on you, a Justin Jefferson waiting for you. So
Speaker 1: if this were my team, I would go young, high
Speaker 1: upside and build a young roster that may not compete
Speaker 1: and win this year, but by next season I could
Speaker 1: have an absolute juggernaut on my hands. But this is
Speaker 1: the beauty of it, Like what do you want to do?
Speaker 1: I mean, you are going to be open for business
Speaker 1: either direction. Yeah, I'm gonna take more of a balanced approach.
Speaker 1: And that really is kind of the strategy that I
Speaker 1: deploy across the board and my startup drafts is really
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna look for the value. If a veteran
Speaker 1: running back is sitting there who's really talented, is a
Speaker 1: proven guy that you know, falls to me, then I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take him there. If I'm looking at the board
Speaker 1: and I don't really like any of the proven veterans,
Speaker 1: but there's a young, intriguing, you know, wide receiver who
Speaker 1: I am a big fan of, then I'll take him there. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the guys where where the board falls
Speaker 1: and where it lands and stuff like that. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but again Ray mentioned it like just have fun, like
Speaker 1: do what you want to do? What do you want
Speaker 1: to do? Do you want to go into next season
Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence? And then you know the guys and
Speaker 1: just go purely A twenty twenty and twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: and draft and you know, rebuilding roster, then do that.
Speaker 1: You're going to be great in a year or two.
Speaker 1: If you want to go with Lawrence and the proven veterans,
Speaker 1: then do that too. You're going to be productive as well.
Speaker 1: So at JD. Newman two, you said on Monday for this,
Speaker 1: so this is more for me and a referencing our
Speaker 1: last show. You think Russ is ninety five out of Seattle?
Speaker 1: If so, what are you doing with DK Metcalf? Are
Speaker 1: you trading or holding? I am going to look to
Speaker 1: trade DK Metcalf if I can, because I think that
Speaker 1: I can get a king's ransom for him. And I
Speaker 1: think that if Russell Wilson is indeed out of Seattle,
Speaker 1: and I think that is going to happen sooner rather
Speaker 1: than later, then at that point, who's going to be
Speaker 1: playing quarterback? Now? I think Metcalf has the talent to
Speaker 1: absolutely just you know, supersede the situation. It will still
Speaker 1: be relevant. But if I can trade Metcalf right now
Speaker 1: for a king's ransom, I'm probably gonna do that. But
Speaker 1: the issue now becomes do I have the own does
Speaker 1: the DK Metcalf manager in my league? Know that Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson might leave, right, like, is he Are they going
Speaker 1: to be or I'm sorry, the person trading for DK Metcalf,
Speaker 1: Are they gonna know that, you know, Russell Wilson might leave?
Speaker 1: And at that point, are they gonna be hesitant to
Speaker 1: try to make that trade? Are they gonna be hesitant
Speaker 1: to give up the pure or the most value, right,
Speaker 1: the most worthier for DK Metcalf, that's the only question.
Speaker 1: So if I can turn him for a couple of
Speaker 1: first round picks or a first a high high first
Speaker 1: round pick, I might do that. What do you think? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this one is really tough because it seems like just
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, the consensus was DK Metcalf
Speaker 1: was wide receiver one in Dynasty, right, and honestly, without
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson even being traded, I don't think he's even
Speaker 1: top three anymore. Just change. I think people would take
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. I still think Tyreek kill Davante. I just
Speaker 1: if Russ leaves, this is not good for DK Metcalf,
Speaker 1: And I don't know how quarterback independent he is, Like,
Speaker 1: just it doesn't matter who's back there, you just throw
Speaker 1: it at DK. You would like to think so, but
Speaker 1: it just seems like that. It seems like everything is unread,
Speaker 1: Everything is unraveled with the Seahawks since they threw the
Speaker 1: interception versus New England like five years ago in that
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and whenever it was I would definitely be
Speaker 1: looking to move DK, but I would need if we
Speaker 1: were talking Tyreek Hill, we probably needed two first for DK.
Speaker 1: I know this sounds crazy, but Dynasty, I need two
Speaker 1: first and a player, and I mean in a decent
Speaker 1: player at that. You know, three first might be pushing it,
Speaker 1: but I need two first and some sort of younger
Speaker 1: player to add to that in order for me to
Speaker 1: even consider moving DK. Same here, man, Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that if you can capitalize on that value, I'm pulling
Speaker 1: the trigger just because of the percentage chances, Right, I
Speaker 1: talk about it all the time, like, what are the
Speaker 1: percentage chances that Russ stays in Seattle? Well, it talked
Speaker 1: about it, but I think it's ninety five percent that
Speaker 1: he's gone. Okay. Well, then at that point I'm gonna
Speaker 1: pull the trigger based on that probability and the probability
Speaker 1: that Seattle goes into next season with a very run
Speaker 1: heavy approach and not Russell Wilson behind center, which is
Speaker 1: a huge part of what makes up the value of
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and makes him so valuable for fans. He's
Speaker 1: only twenty three still, it's crazy twenty three years old.
Speaker 1: He's super super young. So yeah, I get I mean,
Speaker 1: you talked about him being ranked as a wider super
Speaker 1: one in Dynasty. I totally get it. Like I get it,
Speaker 1: he's super young and extremely talented, tied to a phenomenal quarterback.
Speaker 1: Well now he might not be tied to that phenomenal
Speaker 1: quarterback long term, so that definitely puts just this kind
Speaker 1: of cloud over DK Metcalf in his Dynasty stock. So
Speaker 1: if you can get the true value, if you can
Speaker 1: sell him, I'm doing it. I think that I'll pull
Speaker 1: the trigger on that, all right, Matt, That is going
Speaker 1: to do it for today again. Thank you so much
