1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,840
Hello, welcome back to Lab 52, a
dynasty football podcast.
2
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,240
I'm one of your hosts of Techno
Weave, joined by my Co host
3
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:23,880
Weapon X.
As always, this is not dynasty
4
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,320
advice.
Use your own research, go on the
5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,760
websites and watch YouTube just
like we do and you can make your
6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,040
own decisions.
The topic for today's show is
7
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,880
going to be Wide Receiver
Threes.
8
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,360
Are you as excited about this
product as I am?
9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,760
Oh yeah, absolutely.
You know how excited we are
10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,800
about this product.
We're not taking the big
11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,880
hamburger bite as the McDonald's
CEO took that one time, but it's
12
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,960
it's, it's approaching that that
size bite.
13
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,200
That's right.
That's right.
14
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,480
And we talked about last week
wide receiver threes and, and
15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,560
once I started to break down
this list, maybe I overstated.
16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,040
Wide receiver threes is where
you make your money.
17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,840
It it's getting, it's putting
its foot in that pool of
18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,480
starting to make money.
Maybe it you make it more in the
19
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,640
wide receiver fours and fives,
the guys that are just dirt
20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,560
cheap that if they have a, a big
swing in value, you know, from
21
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,080
your investment on them, it's
like like buying a penny stock.
22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,960
If it goes up $0.20, well,
that's all you, you made a lot
23
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:34,600
of money, you know, versus a
more valuable asset that just
24
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,240
goes up a few percentage points.
You're not making as much.
25
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:43,080
So I don't know if you noticed
anything with the list you came
26
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,480
up with.
The list I came up with once I
27
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,440
got to the second-half of the
wide receiver threes, that's
28
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,960
where I wrote here.
Lots of variation and probably a
29
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,880
good time to go.
Best player available.
30
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:04,040
Because really, once we get
through the 1st 6, I'd say it's
31
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,759
a real, real crapshoot.
Did did you have any anything
32
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:11,400
you noticed or anything that was
interesting to you when you were
33
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,000
creating your list?
Yeah, I mean, at quick glance,
34
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,280
obviously there's there's some
really good values you can find
35
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,520
here.
As I've said to you before, I
36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,080
don't actually create the list.
I actually like to treat these
37
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,320
as kind of like a draft on the
fly, so.
38
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,080
So.
Yeah, I see who you, who you
39
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,920
pick and then I see who's
available and I kind of like to
40
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:32,160
look at do it that way just cuz
I don't know.
41
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,320
I just, I really like to do it
that way, but I have looked at
42
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,480
the wires here, three options.
And yeah, I mean, like you said,
43
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,080
I I don't know.
I mean, there's definitely some
44
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,840
guys here that can really hit
and then some guys in new
45
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,760
opportunities this year, some
guys we'll see what happens in
46
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,400
NFL draft.
They could be phased out.
47
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,400
It's it's it's really it's it's
tough.
48
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,280
Some of these this is this was
probably this will probably be
49
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,360
our toughest, you know, list to
come up with as far as you know,
50
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,520
you know, options that we have
later in the round here.
51
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,880
Then we're going to be leaving
some players off that we might
52
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,960
think we should leave.
All should have put back on
53
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,840
here.
I don't know it's tough.
54
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,520
I I think there aren't as many
sure things on this list.
55
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,680
But again, we're in the wide
receiver three category and
56
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,640
we're not going to have as many
short things as you as you
57
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:21,520
would, you know, earlier on.
Absolutely.
58
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,280
Well, you want to kick us off
with #20 Oh, I guess before we
59
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,200
do that, I guess we maybe should
we go through the entire list to
60
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,080
get get everybody up to speed.
Yeah, yeah, I could read off the
61
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,880
top 12 and if you want to go
through 13 to 24.
62
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,800
That sounds good, all right.
We start off our top 12
63
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,280
receivers with JSN, Chase Nakua,
Amaral St.
64
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,920
Brown, Malik.
Neighbors, CD Lamb, Drake,
65
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,680
London, JJ, Justin Jefferson,
Ted McMillan, Collins, Ladd
66
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,640
Mcconkey and we rounded out with
George Pickens at 12.
67
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,200
All right, moving on to wide
receiver twos #13 to 24.
68
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,160
We got a Mecca egg.
Buka at 13.
69
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,920
I remember saying that he was
the only sure pick in this
70
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,160
group.
Everybody else was up for grabs.
71
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:18,680
Crystal Lobby at 14.
Offseason darling Luther Burden
72
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:24,480
at 15, we picked Tate, Carnell
Tate at 16.
73
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,080
But I would imagine that could
vary, right?
74
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:30,800
If all of a sudden Tate goes to
a situation and it's really
75
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,720
Lemon that's in the good spot,
you know, the landing spots
76
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,440
going to matter a lot for those
guys.
77
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,080
But we have Carnell Tate at 16.
We got no disciplinary action
78
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,640
needed.
Rushy Rice at 17, That certainly
79
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,240
helps his draft stock.
Got Garrett Wilson at 18, Got
80
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,720
Marvin Harrison junior at 19.
A.J.
81
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,760
Brown at 20.
Got Roma Doonese at 21.
82
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:02,800
Got Amaro star Zay Flowers at
22.
83
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,840
We got winner of the maybe most
over ranked player on our list
84
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:16,920
here, Wandale Robinson at 23 and
Jameson Williams is at 24.
85
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:18,760
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
86
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,720
All right, so we'll hit it off
here at #25 just doing a quick
87
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,840
glance here, I'm going to go
with Devonta Smith at #25 to
88
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:27,440
start off the wide receiver 3
rankings.
89
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,680
He somehow still squeaked out
1000 yards last year in the
90
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:32,680
debacle of the Philadelphia
offense.
91
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,040
That was just a bad season.
We know A.J.
92
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,600
Brown had a down year.
Hertz didn't play well.
93
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,960
Running game was off.
But as we've said before in
94
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,440
previous shows, we're we're
definitely looking forward to
95
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,200
seeing how this new offense with
the new offensive coordinator,
96
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,760
Shawn Mannion, it's his first
time calling plays, But it's
97
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,880
going to be very, very
interesting to see what what we
98
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,560
have here at the bottom to Smith
is 27.
99
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,720
It'll be turning 28 in November.
So obviously he's getting up
100
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,000
there closer to 30.
It's it it's just one of them
101
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,840
players who you know, he's been
boom bust more recently than he
102
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:05,720
was early in his career.
Last year.
103
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,280
He had 68 catches for 833 yards.
He did miss some games this past
104
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:13,720
season, just 11.9 points per
game that this is not going to
105
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,760
get it done.
But you know, we had 77 catches
106
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:21,440
target share he had let's see
how many targets he had 113
107
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,720
targets last year.
I think with an offense and
108
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,160
improved offense when moving the
ball better, better play
109
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,520
calling.
I think you're going to see that
110
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,520
target go, target number
probably approach a potential of
111
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,000
130.
And if you can get to that, you
112
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,680
have a really good value with
Devonta Smith that as a wide
113
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,920
receiver three, we know how
talented he is.
114
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,600
We know the tremendous route
runner he is.
115
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,560
He's just a solid football
player.
116
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,040
It's just going to really come
down to will this offense bounce
117
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,520
back?
And I but I do think in a two to
118
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,120
three-year window, I don't mind
having Devonta Smith as a wide
119
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,960
receiver 3.
And again, we've said many
120
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,680
times, if A.J.
Brown does end up getting moved,
121
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,720
yeah, this is going to look real
strong for for anyone who hasn't
122
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,120
this point.
And I think that's the key.
123
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760
When I was creating some of my
list here, I was looking at the
124
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,240
ages of some of these guys.
And I was like, well, OK, I
125
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,040
guess that's why they're not
ranked higher.
126
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,560
You know, how much value do you
put into a guy that probably
127
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,440
just has, you know, a good maybe
maybe two or three years?
128
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,680
Not everybody is Devante Adams.
You know, most of the players
129
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,760
are like, you know, Cooper Cup
in in the sense that, you know,
130
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,120
you kind of hit 30 and then you
just sort of sort of fade away.
131
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,960
But if we're reading the tea
leaves, Devante Smith, yeah, all
132
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,760
the talk about A.J.
Brown going away, more focus on
133
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,200
the passing offense when he's
been the main target.
134
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000
He produces.
He's got the draft capital.
135
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,720
There's no one else that's just
going to appear and take that
136
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,280
spot from him.
So for at least a year or two,
137
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,920
he he kind of, you know,
bridges, bridges that gap and
138
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,840
hopefully helps people forget
about A.J.
139
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:12,560
Brown and his, his bad attitude.
So I, I, I like that pick.
140
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,160
It's, it's a smart pick.
And when we're talking about
141
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,920
wanting players with the arrow
pointing up Devante Smith, he's,
142
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,560
he's kind of got it.
It's it's the only gamble you're
143
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,280
making.
Is that maybe?
144
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,160
Well, what if A.J.
Brown stays?
145
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,480
Do you feel the same?
If A.J.
146
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,480
Brown stays, pretend we know
already that A.J.
147
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,280
Brown will play this whole year.
Do you feel the same?
148
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,120
I, I base, I'm basing this on
A.J.
149
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,120
Brown staying.
Yeah, I have him at 25.
150
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,640
With A.J.
Brown staying, if he, if he
151
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,120
leaves, I think we could bump
him up a couple spots.
152
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,920
I'd feel more comfortable with
him maybe 2021 to 23 if Devante
153
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,760
if A.J.
Brown leaves, but this is this
154
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,960
is based on A.J.
Brown staying and I still think
155
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,200
he is still a solid pick for
this high up on the wire. 0
156
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,520
threes.
OK, OK, well, I I like it if he
157
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,200
leaves.
I don't like it if he doesn't
158
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,080
leave.
So, but I guess that's that's
159
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,240
what opinions are.
We can.
160
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,120
We can have different ones.
So to ask you if if A.J.
161
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,360
Brown stays where you do still
have him as a wide receiver?
162
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,880
Three though, correct?
Oh yes, yes, yes.
163
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,480
I had him at #20 I had him at
27, OK.
164
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:29,640
So it's not like I, OK, I didn't
have him a mile away, you know,
165
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:35,960
I had two couple spots away.
But I, I feel more strongly
166
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,960
about the first player I picked
on my list at least.
167
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,000
But, you know, I don't have him
too far away.
168
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,400
I just think, yeah, with his
production, if you can slot this
169
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,360
guy in as a low end wide
receiver, 2IN your lineup at
170
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,720
wide receiver three prices,
that's a good thing.
171
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,760
And we know the volatility of
A.J.
172
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,680
Brown.
Or maybe it's a declining skill
173
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:01,520
set.
We don't really know.
174
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,800
You know, the first thing he
does is blame the offense, blame
175
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,440
the game plan.
Maybe it's him.
176
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,120
You know, some players go that
route, but I guess we'll have to
177
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,560
wait and see.
And I I do like the the gambling
178
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:21,520
aspect of him that his value
could shoot up a lot on some
179
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,520
A.J.
Brown news.
180
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:29,880
Well, moving on to #26 as the
first player on my list and you
181
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,080
know, I just mentioned gambling.
I I think that that that's an
182
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:41,160
important thing you need to do
in moderation when it comes to
183
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,800
your team.
Not everything can be a sure
184
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,280
bet.
You have to put some of your
185
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:54,080
draft capital, your your assets
into speculative pieces.
186
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:59,360
And there's no more value of a
player right now.
187
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,080
And the question is Doctor
Jekyll or Mr. Hyde, which is the
188
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,840
real BTJ?
Is it the guy that had 87
189
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,320
catches, 133 targets, almost
1300 yards and 202410
190
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,880
touchdowns?
Or is it the guy that couldn't
191
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:21,760
beat out Parker Washington for
targets 700 yards, 2 touchdowns,
192
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:29,080
somehow lost 40 targets last
year, nearly half the amount of
193
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:35,080
catches at 48.
I'm OK rolling the dice at this
194
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,560
price with this guy and his age.
He's 23, will turn 24 in
195
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:43,200
October.
So we can say this is his age 24
196
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,720
season.
This will only be his third year
197
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,240
in the league there.
If it doesn't work out in
198
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,520
Jacksonville, he's always going
to have that that kind of
199
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,240
asterisk by his name.
Well, can somebody fix him?
200
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:03,640
Can somebody fix the situation
because you don't have nearly
201
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,120
historic rookie year like that
And all of a sudden that it
202
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,840
wasn't they didn't scheme him
the ball open.
203
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,120
That wasn't a Wandale Robinson,
you know, 100 catch season for
204
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,600
900 yards.
No, he was a big play threat and
205
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,680
and was easily a top ten dynasty
asset going into 2025.
206
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:32,840
And now here we have them ranked
at #26 it it seems if you're
207
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,360
looking at these players and
you're not in a win now, must
208
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,520
win right now, or you've you've
banked your assets in that way
209
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,760
where you can take a speculative
player.
210
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,360
There's no better speculative
player at this price than BTJ.
211
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,440
What do you think?
Yeah, absolutely, man, that
212
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,800
that's I was between BTJ and
Devonta Smith for 25.
213
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,640
So, yeah, I have absolutely no
problem with him there.
214
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,080
Yeah.
I mean, like you said, it's it's
215
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,880
a speculative pick here, but
man, we're really hoping, we're
216
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,760
really hoping what we saw last
year wasn't, you know, a trend
217
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,080
what we're going to see in his
career.
218
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,440
I I would, I find it really hard
to believe that he's just going
219
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,280
to fizzle out and just be a, you
know, a Jag player the rest of
220
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,120
his career.
I can't see that.
221
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,640
I know.
I just can't see it.
222
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,800
The talents just too strong.
We just need to see him have a
223
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,800
better role in this offense.
We need to see him stay healthy,
224
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,680
motivated, just build more
chemistry with Trevor Lawrence.
225
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,760
Yeah, it's it's mind boggling
the what we saw from his rookie
226
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,000
year to his second year, just
the numbers across the board.
227
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,920
Everything was down.
Everything was down.
228
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,680
It's just so hard to it's so
hard to imagine him just staying
229
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,000
in this in this type of role at
this type of situation.
230
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,640
But we're going to really,
really need to see it, see it
231
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,160
happen on the field.
It's just going to be a lot of
232
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,520
talk until that happens.
So BTJ at 26, no issue with
233
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,840
that.
I did the upside.
234
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,240
We know what the upside is.
We already saw it in his rookie
235
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,120
year.
He could be a top five, top top
236
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,880
five receiver.
So that's kind of potential he
237
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,600
has.
But you know, we need to see it
238
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,760
first before we can get back.
Feel uncomfortable with him.
239
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,640
All right #27 very soon.
Not, not not very similar to
240
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,600
BTJ, but similar in the fact
that it was just a complete
241
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,400
debacle of a season for this
team.
242
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,720
I'm going to go with Jordan
Addison at #27 We know exactly
243
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,520
what happened with this team.
The quarterback play in the last
244
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,520
several years, I don't know if
we've seen quarterback play as
245
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,320
bad as they they received last
year.
246
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,400
We saw how much impact the
Justin Jefferson's numbers.
247
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,640
Jefferson didn't get worse.
He's still an elite receiver.
248
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,000
It the what happened was
unbelievable and it affected,
249
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,120
obviously it affected Jordan
Haddison as well.
250
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,640
He had 19 touchdowns his first
two seasons.
251
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,840
This year only three.
The whole offense as a whole
252
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,760
struggled this year.
He only had 79 targets.
253
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,600
You're not going to do anything
with 79 targets.
254
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,480
He played fourteen games.
We know the offseason issue,
255
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,320
offseason offseason issues, off
the field issues he's had the
256
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,840
last couple years.
We hope that can kind of, you
257
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,800
know, as he gets more mature in
his career, as he gets older,
258
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,640
his career, we hope that those
types of issues start to fade in
259
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,960
the they don't become a problem,
but they are right now
260
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,160
currently.
So you always have to think
261
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,760
about that when you're drafting
Jordan Addison, but only 24
262
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,960
years old.
He came to the league really,
263
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,120
really young.
He's only 24 years old going
264
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,120
into his fourth season.
He's an outstanding talent.
265
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,160
He's a first round pick on the
2023 draft.
266
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,320
Then you know, draft capital.
He played for USC.
267
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,160
You know, he just a super
talented player.
268
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,160
But we need the quarterback play
to get better.
269
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,800
And it's Kyler Murray going to
be the answer.
270
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,120
We don't know cuz Kyler Murray
hasn't played well either last
271
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,800
few years.
So it really, really comes down
272
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,480
to can they get competent play?
They only really need to have an
273
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,760
average quarterback play for
either of these receivers to
274
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,000
play well.
They're both great players.
275
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,840
I'm going to be very interested
to see what happens this year in
276
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,080
Minnesota.
It can't get worse.
277
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,320
I mean, I'm hoping it can't get
worse.
278
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,240
It was that honestly, that's
probably one of the worst
279
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,800
quarterback plays I've ever
seen.
280
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,280
It was so bad.
Some of the IT was the numbers
281
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,160
we were seeing these
quarterbacks put up last year
282
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,760
where it was comical.
It was really comical.
283
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,360
And the fact that Minnesota was
competitive in a lot of games is
284
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,880
credit to their defense and, you
know, the coaching.
285
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,120
But I'm interested to see Jordan
Addison this year.
286
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,360
I think he's got a lot of
upside, a lot of potential.
287
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,960
And if they just get confident
play here, I think you can see
288
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,760
him rebound to put a wide
receiver 3 numbers.
289
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,240
Well, I'm happy to hear you say
that.
290
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,800
I I don't feel too.
Jordan Addison didn't even make
291
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:46,920
my list in wide receiver threes,
but I'm OK with him being on
292
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,920
there.
Yeah, it is a question of what
293
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,600
have you done for me lately?
And the experiment with the 9.
294
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,960
You know, that's what JJ
McCarthy calls himself, The
295
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:05,800
9:00, That's ridiculous.
But living in Minnesota, it's
296
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,040
always funny to hear you're kind
of average football fan.
297
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,240
I remember pre season I was
talking with a Co worker and
298
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,040
he's like, Oh yeah, when we get
McCarthy in there, you know,
299
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,240
this year is looking promising.
And then after like a few weeks,
300
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,000
he's like, well, I want to see
the backup quarterback with
301
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:30,920
Brossman or Brossman Viking.
Viking fans are always very
302
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,240
funny.
They, they, they don't have much
303
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,480
to cheer about.
So they just try to take out
304
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,960
their anger on Packers and, you
know, good teams and things like
305
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,360
that.
And, you know, they just never
306
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:46,400
can kind of Minnesota sports.
They're they're living in the,
307
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:53,200
the 80s with the Twins.
It's it's kind of funny, but is
308
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,880
Kyler Murray the answer?
I don't think so.
309
00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:59,320
Why would he be?
Is he going to be better than
310
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,480
the 9?
Sure he will be.
311
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:07,760
He'll be better than the 9.
But you know what's that going
312
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,560
to do for Jordan Addison?
Is he going to put up numbers
313
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,320
similar to Michael Wilson?
At best, he's he's going to have
314
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,880
numbers like Marvin Harrison.
I don't know.
315
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:27,600
I mean, unless Kyler Murray
grows a couple inches and they
316
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:35,400
somehow unlock a better caliber
of quarterback, you know, I
317
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,480
don't know it, it doesn't leave
me hopeful for Jordan Addison
318
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,320
other than his age.
And Minnesota doesn't need to be
319
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,960
the last stop of his career.
So I think that's the the
320
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,400
hopeful spot for Jordan as and
that OK, I, I think this should
321
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,440
be, this should be the end of
his his rookie deal, right?
322
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:57,880
Or would he have another year
left?
323
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,160
Yeah, this would be the last
year of the four year 4 year
324
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,480
rookie deal.
This will be his last year.
325
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,360
All right.
Oh, good.
326
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,120
Good for him.
Then he can get out and then
327
00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:11,720
maybe go somewhere else and play
with a little bit more
328
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,840
consistent quarterbacking but
wider saver three.
329
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,240
He's still young, you know, so
there, there's some runway and I
330
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,920
do like that aspect.
When picking dynasty players,
331
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:27,480
you do have to figure in the age
because if it's not based on
332
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,240
their age, then they need to
produce.
333
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:35,160
Now I will throw yeah.
There real quick before you
334
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:36,640
before you get to the next
player.
335
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:41,040
Yeah, Jordan Addison will remain
in Minnesota under contract
336
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,320
through 2027.
They did pick up his fifth year
337
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,000
option.
That was no that that was just
338
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
recent news that just happened
not too long ago.
339
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,000
So yeah, he will be.
He will be hanging out with the
340
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,680
9 for a little longer.
That's that's rough.
341
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,480
All right, Well, you're going to
have to be a real patient.
342
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,400
Jordan Addison, owner of or hope
for a trade.
343
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,480
I don't know.
Or hope.
344
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,320
I hope Kyler Murray is better
than he's been.
345
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,280
Yeah.
I mean, you think about though,
346
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,920
Minnesota isn't a team that you
know, is they're, they're one of
347
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,520
those teams that if they had a
really good quarterback, they're
348
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,360
going to contend.
I mean, they have that type of
349
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:21,920
type of talent on both sides of
the ball who could be a
350
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,520
quarterback they they could get
though that that makes it happen
351
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,960
to.
This isn't like 3-4 years ago
352
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,400
where you just pick up Cousins
or something and he puts a big
353
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,960
numbers.
I don't really know if there's
354
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,680
anyone like that right now.
So well, it's really going to
355
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,680
come down to Kyler Murray.
How well will he play?
356
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,920
I don't think they're really
banking on him being the future.
357
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,440
Obviously they made a better
minimum contract.
358
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,800
I believe it was.
That's just, yeah, I don't know,
359
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,120
very interesting situation in
Minnesota, that's for sure.
360
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,040
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, we'll, we'll move off of
361
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:58,240
BTJ here and move on.
Or excuse me, Jordan Addison
362
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,400
here.
That's right, because he wasn't
363
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,680
even on my list.
I have to put him on there.
364
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:04,600
Jordan Addison.
All right, so that was that
365
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,800
number.
What we say 27.
366
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:13,240
OK, so #28 going with the
fantasy pros over ranked player.
367
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:19,280
Not not our rankings, but
fantasy pros Mr. consistently
368
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:24,760
inconsistent, capped ceiling,
but decent situation.
369
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,160
And one of these guys, OK, he's
27.
370
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:34,360
It's T Higgins.
When Chase doesn't play T, you
371
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:37,840
know, if T was on a different
team with a good quarterback,
372
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,680
certainly the stats would look
different because I mean, man,
373
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,560
you look at this at least the
last couple of years, 10
374
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:51,960
touchdowns on 109 targets, 911
yards in 2024.
375
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:57,400
Last year, 846 yards, so around
the same, about 50-60 yards
376
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:02,480
different. 9 on 98 targets.
He had 11 touchdowns.
377
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,920
And to my knowledge, the
Bengals, their defense isn't
378
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,640
going to improve a whole lot.
They still got Chase, they still
379
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,080
got Burrow.
You still have the cap ceiling,
380
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,680
but when it comes to scoring
touchdowns, if it's not Chase
381
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,120
doing it and it's not the other
Chase, Chase Brown doing it,
382
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,880
it's going to be T Higgins doing
it because Joe Bro doesn't run
383
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:32,360
and they like to pass.
So at this point in making my
384
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:36,560
wide receiver three list, I have
all these guys that are kind of
385
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,880
win now.
They're going to have another
386
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,680
two to three years of
production.
387
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:46,960
Hopefully they've displayed
ability to be a wide receiver 2.
388
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,640
Maybe an occasional spike week
as a wide receiver 1.
389
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,680
I don't I don't know how we
can't put T Higgins here when
390
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:02,880
he's in Cincinnati at age of 27.
Tonight to Joe Burrow, if this
391
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,920
is the time for him to go, he's
not a wide receiver 2.
392
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,560
He's a He's a high end wide
receiver 3.
393
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,200
Yeah, I mean, T Higgins, we know
the type of talent T Higgins
394
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,760
has, you know, play alongside
Chase.
395
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,840
It's always going to be, you
know, a good potential to get
396
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,280
some good matchups there.
Yeah.
397
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,000
I mean, he's just he's he's one
of the when you pick T Higgins,
398
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,120
you feel like it's it's just one
of them guys that you don't
399
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:28,640
you're not you don't feel
disappointed to have him on your
400
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,080
team.
You feel you feel confident when
401
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,840
you have him, especially if he's
going to be a wide receiver.
402
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,320
Three.
I'm more than happy with that.
403
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,760
T Higgins, 27.
He turned 27 in January last
404
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,320
year.
He had 211.6 PPR fantasy points.
405
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,960
And he a lot of his points came
from touchdowns last year at 11
406
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,240
touchdowns.
So, yeah, I mean, he's just one
407
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,720
of them guys that you you could
plug in your lineup and when
408
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,120
he's out there, when he's
healthy, he'll produce for you.
409
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,160
He'll produce for you.
He's not going to, you know, be
410
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,960
a league winning receiver, but
he is a guy that when you're
411
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,240
looking at wide receiver threes,
yeah.
412
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,200
I mean, if he's your third
receiver, that that's a strong,
413
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,440
that's a strong quarter half.
So I, I feel pretty good about
414
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,440
him being there at 28.
All right, so we're going to go
415
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,800
to #29 I was between a couple
guys here, but I think I will go
416
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,120
with a rookie incoming rookie
here #29 I'll go with Makai
417
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:23,320
Lemon.
And just similar to Tate it it
418
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,640
just really a lot of it comes
down to where these guys land.
419
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,000
I mean, we do you and I have
talked about this before.
420
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,760
If Lemon is a player who lands
in a situation like say he lands
421
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,440
in New Orleans, you know, that's
a decent spot.
422
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,000
That's a decent spot for him.
We could develop there, but if
423
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,200
he lands in a spot like New
York, The Jets with Gino
424
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,480
throwing and Garrett Wilson
there, I don't know.
425
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,800
I don't know if I feel as good
about his first couple years.
426
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,920
But I think when you have a guy
as talented as Mackay Lemon, I
427
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,160
think when you obviously he's
going to be probably, you know,
428
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,720
second between 2:00 and 4:00 in
the rookie drafts coming up
429
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,440
here, a really good prospect
here, you know, five 11192.
430
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,080
I think when you look at him and
what he can do out there route
431
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,880
running, I think he he's he, I
don't know, we've talked about
432
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,320
before and previous episodes, I
think with Makai Lemon, we've
433
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,320
obviously we've heard a lot of
the Amaral St.
434
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,000
Brown comparisons.
Those comparisons are, you know,
435
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,160
obviously just just for
entertainment purposes,
436
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,720
honestly, I mean, I you can't
really you don't know for sure
437
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,560
how a player is going to
translate until they get into
438
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,040
this league.
But skill set wise, yes, he he
439
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,080
has that type of skill set.
He can, he can be a high volume
440
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,000
slot receiver.
You know, he, he doesn't have
441
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,920
extraordinary, you know, size or
anything like that, but he's got
442
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,760
tremendous ball skills.
You know, if you've seen him
443
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,640
play at the, the college level,
he's he's very, very smooth out
444
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,600
there on the field.
And again, when you're picking a
445
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,000
rookie without knowing where
they're landing at, it's always
446
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,160
tough.
But I think you're going to,
447
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,680
you're going to see it when you
do start up drafts, you're going
448
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,960
to see the one O 210-3104 get
picked in a range where these
449
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,800
receivers are going to be around
them that we're talking about
450
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,560
right now.
So yeah, I'll go Makai Lemon at
451
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,000
29.
And I feel, I feel good about
452
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,840
that, 'cause I think you're
going to have to probably,
453
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,760
you're going to have to probably
draft the rookie pick in that,
454
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,320
in that range or maybe even a
little earlier.
455
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,280
Yeah, that and this is the first
one we've come out with today.
456
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:24,840
I have the exact same number as
you #29 I, I put next to it
457
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,760
Makai Lemon, but also whatever
rookie is kind of in a good
458
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,920
situation.
Yeah, once again, you put Makai
459
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,680
Lemon in a so so situation, and
it's someone else.
460
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,760
It's Omar Cooper that's really
in the good situation.
461
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,600
Well, maybe.
Maybe then I feel a little bit
462
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,320
better about him, depending on
how bad Makai Lemon's situation
463
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,640
is.
I know you're not supposed to
464
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,320
play fantasy this way, but I
guess that's the nice part about
465
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,920
fantasy.
You can kind of play it how you
466
00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:00,040
want to play it, and situations
can change.
467
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:06,040
But also bad situations can ruin
players, and they certainly can
468
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,240
ruin the value that it takes
forever for that value to come
469
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,640
back.
Or you invest so much into a
470
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,960
player and then you hang on to
them and that oh, OK, it's the
471
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,640
year 6 breakout.
So you've just wasted five years
472
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,120
of your time hanging on to this
player and they finally have one
473
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:29,440
good year.
I know for me, I'm not going to
474
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,040
hang around to a guy that's
after a few years, if they're
475
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,920
just not producing like I
expected, I'm going to move
476
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,040
them.
I'm going to cut my losses.
477
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:47,920
And so landing spot it, it
matters.
478
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,320
I know everybody wants to
believe they're a tape reviewing
479
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:56,760
genius and it's all about the
talent, but it's what's that guy
480
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,000
in the NBA, Brian?
Brian Scalabrine I think is his
481
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,880
name, where he said people that
were making fun of him and he
482
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,840
said, you know, I'm closer to
LeBron than you are to me.
483
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:14,800
So the player, yeah, the the
player is in the NFL, they're
484
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:20,480
the most elite of all elite
football players, even the ones
485
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,560
that we we laugh at, let's say
Keon Coleman, oh, he's a joke.
486
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,520
But you know, you go put Keon
Coleman in the Canadian Football
487
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,640
League and watch him, you know,
dominate for, you know, 30
488
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,640
touchdowns in a year.
Like he, our level of
489
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,080
professional athlete is just so
much better.
490
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:47,680
So landing spot matters and you
don't want these guys to have
491
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,280
their career ruined.
Like, what's the other guy?
492
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,160
Elijah Moore, where he landed
with The Jets, he seemed so
493
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,320
promising.
He was a second round pick.
494
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:01,400
You saw some explosive plays and
now he's just a journeyman.
495
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:07,280
And so I don't know Mackay
Lemon, though, he's he's
496
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,560
certainly up there at least with
everybody's pre draft talk.
497
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,480
And I agree with you, 29 seems
fair or a rookie that's in a
498
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,320
comparable situation.
If Jordan Tyson lands in on the
499
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,800
Saints or maybe Jordan Tyson
lands with the Dolphins.
500
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,200
OK, well, give me Jordan Tyson
here.
501
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,160
But we'll have to wait and see
how that all plays out.
502
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,480
So Speaking of the go ahead.
I was going to say I agree with
503
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,280
that landing spot so important.
Tyson lands in a tremendous spot
504
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,920
and Lemon lands in a not so
ideal situation.
505
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,440
We're probably going to want,
you know, you're probably going
506
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,800
to see Jordan Tyson be the guy
that most people are taking
507
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:46,480
ahead of.
Lemon.
508
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,840
And that's why it's really hard
to rank players that aren't on a
509
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,560
team yet.
But I like the idea of just
510
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,360
taking a rookie player at this
spot.
511
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,160
But right now, just for our
ranking purposes, Lemon, I think
512
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,120
it's a good option for this one.
I agree.
513
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,960
I agree.
I think that's fair.
514
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:09,040
Well, I had just a briefly
mentioned the Dolphins and my
515
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,200
next pick is a a former Dolphin,
Dan Marino.
516
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,600
No, it's not Dan Marino.
So it's a Ronnie Brown.
517
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:22,040
No, it's not Ronnie Brown.
It's Jalen Waddle.
518
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,320
Yeah, no, a guy that you know,
you certainly could have.
519
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:34,960
I saw him go for some bargain
basement prices last year that I
520
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,680
was just like, man, you know, is
I mean, waddle couple years ago
521
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,120
he was a he was a first second
round startup pick.
522
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,760
Everyone thought he he was the
next big deal.
523
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,520
And once again, landing spot
matters.
524
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,480
He'll turn 28 this year in, you
know, right around Thanksgiving.
525
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,960
He's 27 right now.
His second year in the league
526
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:04,360
was his best year.
He had 13150 yards, 8 touchdowns
527
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,600
and only 117 targets.
That's that's pretty efficient.
528
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,160
But since then, he's had to play
with Tua, he's had to have Tyree
529
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:20,080
kill across the field from him.
And now he's not moving into a
530
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,440
Mike McDaniel offense, He's
moving out of that.
531
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,840
But he's moving with Bo Nicks
and Sean Payton and should be
532
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:31,880
the number one guy.
Is that am I missing that Jalen
533
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,000
Waddle?
He is the number one ride
534
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,360
receiver in Denver.
It's not Courtland Sutton.
535
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,440
You're not saying the 30 year
old guy is the is the number
536
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,920
one?
Or am I wrong about that?
537
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,760
No, I I would agree with that.
I think Jalen Waddle is.
538
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,480
They made the trade at the to
get Jalen Waddle.
539
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,880
My Miami traded Waddle and a
fourth round pick to the Denver
540
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,600
Broncos in exchange for a first,
third and 4th.
541
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,840
So, yeah, I mean, you saw that
you see the draft capital that
542
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,240
was traded to get Waddle.
They're not trading him to be
543
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,800
the backup to be a number two or
three option.
544
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,040
He's he they were they traded
there could they're contending
545
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,320
team.
They almost made the Super Bowl
546
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:08,400
last year.
They're really close.
547
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,200
So obviously this is a trade to
try to get them over the top.
548
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,480
He's going to be their normal
one target.
549
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,200
We got to see it develop.
Obviously Courtland Suns going
550
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,480
to have a role, no question
about it.
551
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,120
He's still still important parts
in our offense, but they're not
552
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,280
going to you're not going to
trade all that to have him just
553
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,440
be a role player.
He's going to be the the main
554
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,560
target, but we need to see that
develop first before we can make
555
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,200
any claims on that.
Yeah, yeah.
556
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:36,520
I'm not a still not a big Bonex
believer, but you know, I, I
557
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,560
like Jalen Waddle.
It's an improvement from being.
558
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,920
I know the ship is going down.
It's sinking.
559
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:48,560
He took a life raft to Denver.
I'm I'm happy for him that he's
560
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:54,040
not stuck with Malik Willis and
you know, which most likely is
561
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,400
just going to be a layover
coaching situation until they
562
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,840
bring in some new players.
But yeah, Jalen Waddle is the
563
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,640
number one in Denver.
I like that it and it does bring
564
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,800
me to a kind of an offshoot
question I mentioned to you in
565
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,760
our free free podcast chat.
It got me thinking about
566
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,000
Cortland Sutton.
When I think of Cortland Sutton,
567
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,400
I always think that is a player
I don't want.
568
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,680
I don't want anything to do with
Cortland Sutton.
569
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,480
Now, once again, at the right
price.
570
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,400
If he's thrown in, I'm not going
to, though, go out of my way to
571
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:34,280
draft Cortland Sutton.
I'm not going to go trade for
572
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,880
Courtland Sutton, I don't think.
I mean, once again, unless the
573
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:42,080
deal is right and I started to
think about players that I just
574
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,560
staying away from.
I don't find them on any of my
575
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,440
startup teams.
They're not on any of my teams
576
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,240
overall.
I'm not going to go out of my
577
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,200
way to get them.
Other players I added to this
578
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,160
list, Travis Hunter.
Travis Hunter, I don't really
579
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,280
want anything to do with him.
It's just too uncertain and I
580
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,640
don't really even care what the
cost is because it feels like
581
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,560
whatever you spend on it, it
might just not be worth it at
582
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,000
all.
And yes, BTJ Travis Hunter, you
583
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,840
can gamble and could make a
potentially a good return on
584
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,440
Travis Hunter.
But to me, it's just the
585
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,400
uncertainty.
I don't want to have players on
586
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:23,800
my team.
I don't know if they're going to
587
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,239
be playing on offense.
It just seems like a question I
588
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,920
don't need to be asking about a
player on my team.
589
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,120
Courtland Sutton, he's too old.
He's 30 years old.
590
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,920
They bring in a new guy.
Why do I want the old wide
591
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,040
receiver?
2 on the Denver Broncos with
592
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,880
Bone Nix and also the other one
I have on here is Terry
593
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,080
Mclaurin.
I'd rather go with a guy like
594
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,480
Mike Evans, even though Mike
Evans is is, I think he's a
595
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,320
little bit older.
I have to look at Mike Evans age
596
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,640
here.
Let's let's find Mike Evans.
597
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:02,960
Yeah, 'cause Terry Mclaurin I
know is.
598
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,120
Yeah, Mike Evans is a full 2
years older.
599
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:11,080
He's going to be 33 this year
and Terry Mclaurin is going to
600
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,120
be.
Let's see, I want to say he's
601
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,720
30.
I'll have to.
602
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,960
There he is.
Yeah, he'll turn 31.
603
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,280
OK, so one guy's going to be 33,
the other be 32.
604
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,400
If you had to pick, I'd like to
hear a some players you like to
605
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,080
stay away from or you find
yourself staying away from.
606
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,320
And also, too, in a vacuum, who
do you want?
607
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,040
Terry Mclaurin or Mike Evans is
here.
608
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,280
I would say Mike Evans.
I I would definitely say Mike
609
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,440
Evans.
I think he's, he still can be a
610
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,200
high level receiver.
I think I love the, I mean, I
611
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,760
love the situation he's in now
with Brock Purdy, but I don't
612
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,440
dislike Terry Mclaurin too much,
though.
613
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,440
I I still think he can produce.
I think Jayden Daniels, when he
614
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,880
when he's out there and he's
slinging it, slinging the ball
615
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,240
out there and they're playing
well, I think he's going to put
616
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:00,240
numbers up.
But I think for this year for
617
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,000
sure, if you're just talking
about this year, Mike Evans, I
618
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,640
would go Mike Evans.
Yeah, no doubt about it.
619
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,400
And a couple other guys, you
know, Courtland Sutton was one
620
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,720
of the guys I thought about as
trying to avoid now.
621
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:15,440
I mean, even before the Jalen
Waddle trade, I still was
622
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,000
feeling uncomfortable with
Courtland Sutton.
623
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,120
It just seemed like it just
seemed like he was starting to
624
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,400
just the other receiving options
around him.
625
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,440
We're getting really they were
getting involved a lot, a lot
626
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,600
more than you would like to see
if you have Courtland Sutton.
627
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:34,400
He he to me now is a guy that, I
mean, I don't even you don't, I
628
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,120
don't know if you want him to be
one of your starting three
629
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,280
receivers.
You don't want.
630
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,400
I don't even think you want him
to be one of your starting
631
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,360
flexes.
He'd be nice guy to have off
632
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,320
your bench.
I think before the Wild trade, I
633
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,760
think he would have been a
decent flex, but I think now
634
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,560
it's really tough.
It's really tough.
635
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,840
So yeah, he would have been one
of the guys that I would have
636
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,840
mentioned on the list, a guy
that I would another guy I would
637
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,920
avoid, and it's one of the
Pittsburgh receivers.
638
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,920
I think a lot of people go back
and forth with that, but I think
639
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,600
I would avoid Michael Pittman
because I I would favor Metcalf
640
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:06,720
to Pittman.
In my opinion.
641
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:08,800
I just think Metcalf is a better
player.
642
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,080
Not that I'm super high on
Metcalf as a, you know,
643
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,880
obviously we haven't even listed
them yet on our rankings.
644
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,160
So obviously I'm not that high
on him either.
645
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,720
But Pittman's the other guy I
would avoid just because I
646
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:21,600
don't.
I don't know.
647
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,680
I mean, if it's Aaron Rodgers, a
quarterback, which you probably
648
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,440
will be, I'm not too excited
about him supporting multiple
649
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,280
receivers.
If this was Aaron Rodgers 10
650
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,560
years ago, yes, we're very
excited about it.
651
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,280
But this is a slow, slow moving
offense.
652
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:38,800
Running the clock down to barely
any time left on the clock.
653
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,480
Then they snap the ball, then
we'll see what happens.
654
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,920
He'll take a sack when someone's
50 feet away from him.
655
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,480
It's just not an offense that
I'm that excited about.
656
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:52,800
South Pitman will be a guy that
I would avoid right now as far
657
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,480
as where you're drafting them
at.
658
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,640
But it again, there is a price
for every player.
659
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,720
There's a spot for every player
that you feel comfortable with.
660
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:01,000
It doesn't mean I wouldn't want
Pittman.
661
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,640
All my team I'm OK having on my
roster.
662
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,920
But where I'm seeing him drafted
right now, I think right now at
663
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,760
that value, I don't think I
would want him there.
664
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,400
But yeah, I think those are two
guys I would mention here.
665
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,600
And then then I've just some
obvious players.
666
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,920
You know, Brandon Iuke, we don't
even know what's happening with
667
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,080
him right now.
I heard last that San Fran wants
668
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,000
to keep him.
You know, so is that if that
669
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,880
happens, you know, we'll we'll
see how that goes.
670
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,080
He's familiar with the offense.
Maybe things will turn around
671
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,400
from him.
Maybe things will turn around
672
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,160
there.
And then Matthew Golden, that's
673
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,600
another player.
I I don't know how, I don't know
674
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:40,520
if Green Bay, I don't know if
Green Bay is going to have a #1
675
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,040
receiver where they just target
140 times.
676
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,080
They haven't had that since
Rodgers and Aaron Randall Cobb
677
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,000
and Jordy Nelson and Devante
Adams.
678
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,160
They haven't had, they haven't
had anything like that since
679
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,800
then.
It's not the way they this is
680
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,960
not how their offense runs.
So Matthew Golden, you're not,
681
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,080
you're not going to have to pick
them that high.
682
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,200
But I still don't think it's
anyone that I really need on my
683
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,160
roster.
If you're a contending team, you
684
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,560
don't really even need them on
your roster.
685
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:04,960
If you're a rebuilding team,
it's fine to have them.
686
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,720
But like what's where's the
upside at right now?
687
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:08,960
I don't, I don't know, just
there's a lot, there's just a
688
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,920
lot of guys on that team.
So there's a couple guys that I
689
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,240
would certainly want to avoid
right now.
690
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,160
But again, it's not, it's like
I, I think you would agree.
691
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,000
It's not that we don't want them
on a roster at all, but where
692
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,640
you have to take them, it's not
good.
693
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,160
Exactly, exactly.
And I'll throw two other players
694
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,080
and we'll move on to #31 your
pick.
695
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:35,800
I'll throw some hate towards
Parker Washington and Quinton
696
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,880
Johnston as well.
I I don't want anything to do
697
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:44,160
with those guys.
It not not where they're where
698
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,120
they're ranked.
I just don't like Quinton
699
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,280
Johnson.
I just don't see a future and
700
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:53,040
Parker Washington, you know, it.
It's just kind of like, I don't
701
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,520
know the the the arrow is
pointing too much up at this
702
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,400
point where I'd rather spend it
on something.
703
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,680
A a bit more of a shirt thing
versus just, Oh yeah, all of a
704
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,840
sudden, Parker Washington, he's,
he's the man now.
705
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:15,440
I'll let somebody else do that.
All right, let's get back to our
706
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,040
rankings here.
We're going to go with #31 it's
707
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:20,360
going to be another one, an
older player, another older
708
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:24,120
player.
We've had a couple so far today,
709
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,600
but that's kind of what you said
earlier to show a lot of these.
710
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,000
You know, a lot of the wide
receiver three here's are guys
711
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,120
that are a little older but
still productive.
712
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,840
We don't know how he'll do on
his new team, but I think a lot
713
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,520
of people are excited about DJ
Moore #31 he's going to be
714
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,400
turning 29 in April now this
month, so very soon it'll be
715
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,760
turning 29.
If you look at his overall
716
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,080
career, we know he's he's a
really good player.
717
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,280
I mean, no one has ever even
questioned that last couple
718
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,960
seasons.
Not not really a huge factor.
719
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,640
I mean, he had a hundred 140
targets in 2024.
720
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,000
Didn't didn't do a whole lot
with it.
721
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,840
He had 98 catches, but he it
only amounted to 966 yards and
722
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,000
six touchdowns.
That's that's not, that's not an
723
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,480
amazing number with 140 targets.
And then last year, obviously 10
724
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,680
points a game target number went
way down, 85 target.
725
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,640
So he wasn't he just wasn't a
big part of the offense.
726
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,320
But now he's going to play with
Josh Allen.
727
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,480
Everyone knows the situation
here.
728
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,520
They've been looking for a #1
receiver for a couple years here
729
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,200
when Josh Allen has a number
receiver.
730
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,840
We saw what we saw, what could
happen.
731
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,920
Stefan Diggs, obviously at that
point of Diggs, his career, we
732
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:30,640
know.
We know.
733
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,560
Obviously if you compare DJ
Moore to Stefan Diggs at that
734
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,160
point of Diggs career, he was
still at the very top of his
735
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,360
game, one of the top 3 or 4
receivers in football.
736
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,400
Are we expected to see a hundred
15120 catches from DJ Moore?
737
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,160
Probably not, but I think it's
safe to say we can possibly see
738
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,280
a 90 catch season out of him,
especially if he gets targeted
739
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,520
the way Stefan Diggs did.
Still a good player.
740
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,640
I mean, there's no question
about he's still, still a good
741
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,640
football player.
He's played, he's played every
742
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:04,000
game though since 2021.
Very durable, extremely durable
743
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,560
player his whole entire career.
I think that's part of the
744
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:07,920
reason why the Bills wanted to
get him.
745
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,360
They needed someone to be able
to rely on because they're
746
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:11,560
trying to make a push for the
Super Bowl.
747
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,600
They've been they've been in
this state, same spot for the
748
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,800
last few years now.
So I'm I'm excited to see how it
749
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,920
goes.
I mean, wide receiver 31 for a
750
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,560
guy who can put up possibly put
up high end wire receiver 2
751
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,320
numbers this year.
I don't have any issue with that
752
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,720
dynasty wise.
I don't have any issue with him
753
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:33,040
being here either.
So yeah, DJ Moore, 3131.
754
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,600
I like it.
I had him at 30 when he said
755
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,320
he's durable, Yeah, no, I was
thinking so.
756
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,480
Physically, he never gets hurt.
The only part of DJ Moore that
757
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,520
gets hurt are his feelings
emotionally.
758
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,480
Emotionally he gets hurt, but
that that's OK.
759
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,080
He at least will be on the
field.
760
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:58,760
So let's move on to #32 this is
a guy who does get physically
761
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,800
hurt, but emotionally he is hard
as nails.
762
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,600
He's real tough guy.
Christian Watson.
763
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,320
I'm putting the Christian Watson
here at 32.
764
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:16,160
He's going to be 27 in May, and
you know how he flashed at the
765
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:21,680
end of last year, Once again,
the arrows pointing up that
766
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,960
maybe somehow the trainers have
gotten him healthy.
767
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,600
Maybe there's more of a desire
to play.
768
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,440
I don't know.
I don't know what it is, but
769
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:37,080
when I think of kind of like a
bargain bin Jameson Williams
770
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,760
type of player that's a little
bit older, a guy that's going to
771
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,400
be your big play guy that can go
out and score 2 touchdowns, have
772
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,480
100 yards.
You don't know when it's going
773
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,800
to happen because the floor is
really low.
774
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,680
It could be, you know, 3
catches, it could be here, what
775
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:55,800
do you have?
Week 16 last year against the
776
00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:01,080
Bears, 2 catches for 17 yards on
16 or on 6 targets.
777
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,600
That's it.
It was it was very, very low.
778
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,920
But the fact that the Green Bay
wide receiver room is so wide
779
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,280
open, Give me Christian Watson
here at #32.
780
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,880
Yeah, I mean, I, I like that.
I like that we all, we all know
781
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,080
the upside.
He has, we've seen the big games
782
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,120
he could put up.
There was a stretch this year
783
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,600
where he was, he was becoming a
must start.
784
00:44:25,720 --> 00:44:27,680
You know, he he was a guy that
if you had him, you were
785
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,400
starting him, then he was, he
was doing really well.
786
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,560
You know, it's really cool to
see him come off the injury and
787
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:34,520
and put together some good
games.
788
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,480
So yeah, it's just with
Christian Watson, it's just
789
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,640
about him staying on the field.
If you can get a decent amount
790
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,960
of targets, he's going to put up
numbers because he it only takes
791
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,400
one or two for him to have a
good game.
792
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,000
So Christian Watson, there #32
no issue with that.
793
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,400
This is this one here.
This one here is tough.
794
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,640
This one here I think is tough.
I'm looking at the list here.
795
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,960
There isn't anyone that totally
pops out right now, but I'm
796
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:03,040
going to go with and I don't
feel great about it, but I'm
797
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:07,920
going to go with DK Metcalf at
33 and we go with DK Metcalf at
798
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,200
33.
We'll see what we'll see.
799
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,720
We just talked about Michael
Pittman a little bit ago.
800
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:17,240
We'll see what happens now with
another guy here on the team
801
00:45:17,240 --> 00:45:20,880
that's going to command targets.
Metcalf, obviously earlier his
802
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,960
career, you know, everyone was
drafting him, first round
803
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,240
dynasty startup pick.
He was commanding tons in
804
00:45:27,240 --> 00:45:29,240
trades.
You know, everyone knew knew
805
00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:30,480
what he was doing there in
Seattle.
806
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,080
He was putting up really good
numbers.
807
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:40,680
But then honestly, since 2023,
yeah, he he had 11114 yards, but
808
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,720
his receptions have start to dip
since that year.
809
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,280
He had a 90 catch year in 2022
and then ever since then he
810
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,360
hasn't had any more than 66 in
the season.
811
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,960
So we we just see that his role
in the offensive he's in isn't
812
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,120
as premier as it was early in
his career.
813
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:01,080
He's got to keep his head on
straight and just just just find
814
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,280
a way to connect with Rodgers
more this year because it just,
815
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,600
it just wasn't working last
year.
816
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:09,320
I mean, 15 games play last
season, 99 targets, 59 catches,
817
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,880
that's not great. 850 yards, 6
touchdown, just not a great
818
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,200
season.
But at this point, you know, he
819
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:20,000
turned 28 in December.
At this point in our rankings,
820
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,400
33, we're getting close to the
end of the wide receiver 3.
821
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,840
He is a wide receiver three.
I don't, I don't think there's
822
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,440
any question he is wide receiver
3 and I'm OK with him being here
823
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,360
again.
I'm not crazy excited about him
824
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,920
as a starting fantasy option,
but the end of the wide receiver
825
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,880
three list, I think he I think
he deserves a beer.
826
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,240
Yeah, I agree.
This is the second player in in
827
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:45,440
this listing that we've had
here.
828
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,920
I had him exactly at #33 I guess
you're right.
829
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:54,920
The age that works against him,
the declining production, he got
830
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,320
his money and then he played
worse.
831
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,600
The situation isn't getting
better.
832
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,680
It's like how many more years
does Aaron Rodgers have?
833
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:10,080
But he's he's not 30 plus he is
still the wide receiver one on
834
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,600
his team.
So I think it when we're we're
835
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,120
looking at this range of
players, you got to you got to
836
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:21,840
look for the positive and if you
can find the wide receiver one
837
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,720
on their team and it's not a,
you know, a total, you know,
838
00:47:25,720 --> 00:47:30,480
awful trash situation, which no,
being the number one wide
839
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,520
receiver with Rodgers throwing
you the ball, that that's it
840
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:40,560
could be a lot worse and hoping
that the old DK bounces back and
841
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,040
for a wide receiver 3 Price,
which you're right, that's what
842
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,360
he is.
He's he's not JJ.
843
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:50,920
He's he's a wide receiver 3.
So I'm OK with him here at #33
844
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:55,600
All right #34 And you know, I
don't, I don't feel good about
845
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,640
this one.
But I started when I was picking
846
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:03,960
this group of players to go, OK,
we got to focus on the known.
847
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:10,160
Like, OK, DK is on paper the
wide receiver one Alec Pierce at
848
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:15,680
34, OK, he got a lot of money
that we know that that's a known
849
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,840
and we know he's a big play
threat.
850
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,480
And they got rid of Michael
Pittman and Daniel Jones is
851
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:28,200
back.
And is he, you know, he's, he's
852
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,600
a worse version of Jameson
Williams than Christian Watson
853
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:35,480
is this guy that's just going to
make a few big plays.
854
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,840
I mean his, when you look at his
targets over the course of his
855
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:43,320
career, he's never topped 84
targets in a year.
856
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:49,200
And the most yards he has, he
just got over 1000 yards last
857
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:50,720
year.
And 1000 yards isn't what it
858
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:55,480
used to be in an 18 game season,
6 touchdowns year before he had
859
00:48:55,480 --> 00:49:00,440
7 touchdowns.
I'm going to hope that the money
860
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:04,360
means something and he's going
to be 26.
861
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:08,240
So he's at least he's still has
some room to play out this
862
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:14,000
contract and not a lot of top
end competition in Indy.
863
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:20,360
Maybe they focus on Alec Pierce
a little bit more and you got
864
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,840
your boom bust guy that all you
need is a touchdown out of him
865
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,080
every once in a while and you'll
be OK.
866
00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:29,800
So I I put Alec Pierce here at
34.
867
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,600
Yeah, he definitely, definitely
deserves to be on his list.
868
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,680
That contract he got that
definitely shows that they
869
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,400
really view him as an important
part to their future.
870
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,640
You know, he's only 25 right
now.
871
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,320
He's going to be turned 26 in
May.
872
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,880
So obviously age is, you know,
that's good age insulation there
873
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,480
for him.
They drafted him the second
874
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,680
round, so they view him as an
important part to the team.
875
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:54,200
So now let's see, let's see how
that plays out target wise.
876
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,320
Like you said, he was still,
he's never had more than 84
877
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,600
targets in the season, so he
hasn't been a target hawk at
878
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,000
all.
He never has been, but with
879
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,680
Michael Pittman out, you would
imagine there's going to be more
880
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,760
targets for him, but also we
could see there going to be more
881
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,200
targets for Josh Downs and Tyler
Warner as well.
882
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,240
So it's going to go hand in hand
with all those guys.
883
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,400
But yeah, I mean, I, I think
this is one of those interesting
884
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,360
players that he could win you a
week at any moment.
885
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,080
You know, obviously it's
amazing.
886
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,160
I still, I still am amazed at
that.
887
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,600
That stat line, 47 catches for
1000 yards.
888
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,560
That's that's amazing total of
catches, but he did it and and,
889
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,800
and he can do that and that's
the type of that's the type of
890
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,040
player he can be.
But man, it would really, it
891
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,480
would really would be cool to
see him get getting more
892
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,800
consistent targets and be able
to round out his game a little
893
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,320
more.
So, yeah, excited to see how he
894
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:45,360
does at 35.
We're going to go with the
895
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,080
oldest player.
I honestly think this is the
896
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:53,320
oldest player, not name, not a
quarterback and all the rankings
897
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,680
we've done, all the positions.
I think, I mean correct me if
898
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,640
I'm wrong, but I think this is
the oldest player on our
899
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,240
ranking, not quarterback.
It's going to be Devante Adams
900
00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:09,720
at #35 when he is the one player
on this list that we have that
901
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,040
if you have them on your team,
you're pretty much starting him
902
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:15,960
every week.
You just aren't.
903
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:17,560
You're starting them every every
single week.
904
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,320
There's a couple other players
on the list like Waddle, DJ
905
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:21,800
more.
I could see them being every
906
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:26,280
week starters Higgins, but Adams
is what the I mean, we have
907
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,120
ranked at 35.
This is dynasty.
908
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,280
Of course we can't we're not
going to be able to push him up
909
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,280
that much more.
He turned 33 in December.
910
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,920
He's he hasn't been healthy last
couple years.
911
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,600
He's missed it.
He missed three games last two
912
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,440
years each year.
So he's missed 6 in the last two
913
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,320
years.
But man, when he's on the field,
914
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,240
there is absolutely no question.
Even with the New York Jets, he
915
00:51:45,240 --> 00:51:49,560
put up 85 catches for 1063 and 8
touchdowns last year.
916
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,600
We know the touchdown machine he
was last year, 14 touchdowns
917
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,600
that propelled obviously his
numbers, but he's still putting
918
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,880
consistently 220 plus fantasy
points on the board.
919
00:51:59,720 --> 00:52:03,640
He he's one of the guys that if
you, if you're a contending
920
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,720
team, you are going for Devante
Adams.
921
00:52:05,720 --> 00:52:08,560
You want him on your team
because he can put up wide
922
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:11,880
receiver 1 numbers.
He can, he can do it and he can
923
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,160
finish the season.
Has a high end wide receiver 2,
924
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,120
maybe even a wide receiver one.
I mean, look at just look what
925
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,840
he did last year.
He only had 60 catches, only has
926
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,320
seven to 89 yards, but the
impact he made in the red zone,
927
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,280
you, you can't you can't ignore
that Matthew Stafford is still
928
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:29,840
going to be throwing the
football to these guys.
929
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,280
Pukuku is number one on the
Rams.
930
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,760
Nobody's questioning that.
But there's enough to go around
931
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,560
as they you know how Sean
McVeigh, they love to pass the
932
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:39,800
ball.
They're going to he's going to
933
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,520
get his numbers and this is this
is it.
934
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,400
Back and wide receiver 300
rankings that could put up wide
935
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,000
receiver 1 numbers week to week
and that he's an interesting
936
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,880
player to have.
But this is again, this is for
937
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,400
contending teams.
If you're rebuilding team,
938
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,920
obviously you look for someone
that is contending and you trade
939
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:59,360
them as it gets closer to the
season.
940
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,400
I wouldn't trade them yet.
I would wait till it gets closer
941
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,800
because people will look for
Adams as a guy they can plug
942
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,640
into the if you think about you,
you.
943
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:11,320
Have Devante Adams on your team
and you know it doesn't work out
944
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,480
for you.
Well, if he has another year
945
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,680
similar to how he had last year,
you're you're still going to be
946
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:21,600
able to cash out on him and take
something of value home with you
947
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:26,720
or trade him for a younger asset
and what he can give you in one
948
00:53:26,720 --> 00:53:30,440
season.
You know, not to mention if
949
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:36,520
there's injuries around him, he
hasn't shown that he's lost his
950
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,240
step.
And until he does, he's the
951
00:53:39,240 --> 00:53:43,520
outlier.
And yeah, no, I'm, I'm totally
952
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,920
comfortable with him here at #35
he deserves to be here.
953
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:52,600
And if he can give you 1 mid
wide receiver, 2 range season,
954
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,240
that that may be a lot more than
the players we would name after
955
00:53:58,240 --> 00:54:00,320
him.
We there's no one else with a
956
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,360
ceiling as high as him or a
player that's going to return
957
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,720
you what he can return you if it
doesn't work out for your team.
958
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,240
So no, I I'm comfortable with
that.
959
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,400
Yeah.
And and Adams is the one guy on
960
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,640
this list.
Today that if you're just
961
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:19,920
looking at 2026 this season
coming up, I mean, Adams, if
962
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,760
we're going to do some mock
drafts as they get closer to the
963
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,440
NFL season, redraft mock drafts,
we've done that before.
964
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,680
It's going to be so funny to see
where you're drafted, Adams at.
965
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:31,800
You're not getting them at the
35th receiver.
966
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,080
You're going to get them
probably at the 15th receiver.
967
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,440
You know, it's crazy.
It's going to be crazy to see
968
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,800
the difference, but that just
shows you what he could do for
969
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,960
you this year.
And if you're a contending team,
970
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,920
why would you not want to get
him at this point?
971
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,760
I know in our startup draft, I
got him in the tenth round.
972
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,760
I mean, you get a guy in the
tenth round that could put up
973
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,840
wide receiver 1 numbers and you
have a chance to compete this
974
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,080
year.
That's a great that's a great
975
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,640
pick to have and I've seen a lot
of people get him in that range.
976
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,840
I've seen a lot of people trade
for him because they have they
977
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,920
they just need that one guy to
get them over the top.
978
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,640
We obviously it's we're we're in
April right now.
979
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:11,520
Let's see how the offseason
plays out.
980
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,040
You know, God willing, he's able
to stay healthy, you know, take
981
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,440
good care of himself and it's
offseason and get ready for the
982
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,200
season.
But if he's out there on the
983
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,040
field, like you mentioned, he
hasn't lost a step.
984
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,440
He's still, he's still doing,
like you said, he's the outlier.
985
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,760
He's the he's the Derrick Henry
of the wide receiver position
986
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,480
when it comes to players still
producing at this crazy high
987
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,200
level at that age.
It's it's it's really pretty
988
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:33,520
awesome to see.
Yeah.
989
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:39,840
All right, well, we got one.
Spot left here number 36 and I
990
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:44,120
have it down to two players here
and one I said no, I'm not
991
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,840
falling for it again.
So I mean, maybe he'd he'd be
992
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:52,120
the honorable mention.
I, I have it between I got here,
993
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:57,000
Jaden Higgins and Josh Downs.
And of course we know about Josh
994
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,840
Downs and the analytics and
Pittman's gone and you only got
995
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,040
to deal with Alec Pierce and
maybe they're going to put him
996
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:07,320
on the outside.
I'm not going to, you know, I
997
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,960
don't mind getting Josh Downs or
having Josh Downs on my team.
998
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:13,720
No, he's not a player I'm
avoiding.
999
00:56:13,720 --> 00:56:15,600
He'd actually be a player I
might seek out.
1000
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,280
But for the wide receiver 3
here, we're going to look, you
1001
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:19,960
know, this is where you're
trying to make some money.
1002
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:25,280
Give me AT Higgins light here,
give me a Jayden Higgins,
1003
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,920
another Higgins, right?
We got T Higgins and now we got
1004
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,840
Jayden Higgins.
You're playing with the worst
1005
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,480
quarterback in a worse
situation.
1006
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:40,640
But Nico Collins, he's he's not
like super durable and Jayden
1007
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:44,600
Higgins is going to he'll be 23
for most of the season.
1008
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,640
His birth dates in December
15th.
1009
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,000
So he's 23.
He's a big wide receiver, just
1010
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:54,880
like T Higgins.
He's 64215 good draft capital,
1011
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:59,720
second round, second pick last
year and he had a decent year
1012
00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:03,920
last year. 525 yards, 6
touchdowns, 68 targets.
1013
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,800
Well, let's say they bumped that
up to 110 targets.
1014
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,720
What what do those numbers look
like if all the sudden he has
1015
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:15,600
800 yards and eight touchdowns?
We're we're he, he moves up our
1016
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,840
rankings.
And certainly if Nico Collins
1017
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,840
sits, you don't draft a wide
receiver like this because
1018
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,040
you're assuming Nico Collins is
the future.
1019
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:30,160
No, you draft a wide receiver
this high because he's he's
1020
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,240
going to play a complimentary
role now maybe for another year
1021
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:37,840
or so, but he's the future.
And for a guy that kind of a
1022
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:44,240
little bit under the radar, I I
like him at #36 yeah, that I
1023
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:45,800
agree.
Definitely under the radar.
1024
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,680
Not a player you're really
thinking about too much heading
1025
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,040
into the season.
But like you mentioned, I mean
1026
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,880
he he definitely put us some
good games, put us some decent
1027
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:59,880
numbers for his rookie season
here. 41 catches, 5 to 25 yards,
1028
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,280
6 touchdowns is a really good
rookie rookie year.
1029
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,040
It really is.
Especially an offense that just
1030
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:06,840
didn't produce a whole lot.
It just didn't.
1031
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,880
But I like that Nico Collins is
on the other side.
1032
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,960
I like that that that's going to
help him develop as a receiver.
1033
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,400
64215 really good, really good
size there.
1034
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,120
He was a second round pick for
the Texans, so we know the draft
1035
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,120
capitals there for him.
I like that pick.
1036
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,160
I really do.
I think he's he's a guy that can
1037
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,880
rise, rise up the rankings if he
put together a Goodyear too.
1038
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,240
Definitely exciting prospect.
I really, I really like that
1039
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:35,000
pick Terrific, terrific well.
To close it out, I'm curious if
1040
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,960
I can't remember, did we already
do running back threes?
1041
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,160
No, we did not do that.
We finished.
1042
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:45,440
We have the top 24 ranks so far.
We did not do the running back
1043
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,520
threes.
All right, Well, I I think
1044
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,360
that'll be a.
That's a a very, I want to say
1045
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:55,000
it won't be easy, but but it
makes sense.
1046
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,000
We're we're not doing the
quarterbacks, we're not doing
1047
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,080
the tight ends and we've already
done the wide receivers.
1048
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,800
So we might as well do the
running backs Next week.
1049
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:08,080
We'll do some running back
threes and that's a yeah.
1050
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,840
I imagine it's going to be a
list of guys that are just
1051
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,680
waiting on the sidelines waiting
for someone else to get hurt
1052
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:15,600
that that's what it's going to
be.
1053
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,200
It's going to be a lot of guys
just that are handcuffs waiting
1054
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,240
for someone else to get hurt.
But we'll, we'll get to that
1055
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,600
topic when we get to it.
Today's show was fun.
1056
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:28,520
It was a good show.
You know, I'm sure maybe we may
1057
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:33,640
be left out a player or two and
we once again, landing spots
1058
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,760
will matter.
I'm sure if we do this in a
1059
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:40,160
couple months from now, it'll
look potentially a heck of a lot
1060
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,600
different with different players
in different spots.
1061
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,800
But yeah, no, it was a good
show.
1062
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:50,520
And next week we'll do our
running back threes and want to
1063
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,120
thank everybody for listening
that listens every week.
1064
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,360
I appreciate that a lot.
It's a lot of fun for both of
1065
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,400
us.
So I'll I'll wish everybody a
1066
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,840
good week.
I got a start up starting
1067
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:06,320
tomorrow, so I got to get some
mock draft and then and maybe
1068
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:10,680
trade away some more picks.
But I'll let you, I'll I'll let
1069
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:12,160
you close it out.
Weapon X.
1070
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,320
Yeah, this was a great week,
Really fun.
1071
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:20,240
Ranking these receivers got
tough at times, but I'm sure we
1072
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:21,400
missed some players like you
said.
1073
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,400
But hey, as you said, you know
earlier in the beginning of the
1074
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,160
show, this is not dynasty
advice.
1075
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,720
So if we did miss a receiver,
you're going to have to yell
1076
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:32,200
someone else.
It's not it's not our fault.
1077
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,040
No, no, seriously though, it's a
lot of fun.
1078
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,840
It's a lot of fun.
A lot of there's a lot of
1079
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:42,200
players here on this list that
have either had monster seasons
1080
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,320
in the earlier their career or
have potential to to have big
1081
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:49,160
seasons coming up.
So yeah, it's exciting.
1082
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:50,880
Good luck in your draft coming
up.
1083
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:54,040
I know, I know you're excited to
get into that one.
1084
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,800
So yeah, we'll we'll look
forward to hearing about how
1085
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,720
your team shaping out next week.
All right, everyone, thanks.
1086
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:01,120
Thanks again for listening as
always.
1087
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:02,000
We really appreciate it.
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,840
Hello, welcome back to Lab 52, a
dynasty football podcast.
2
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,240
I'm one of your hosts of Techno
Weave, joined by my Co host
3
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:23,880
Weapon X.
As always, this is not dynasty
4
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,320
advice.
Use your own research, go on the
5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,760
websites and watch YouTube just
like we do and you can make your
6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,040
own decisions.
The topic for today's show is
7
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,880
going to be Wide Receiver
Threes.
8
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,360
Are you as excited about this
product as I am?
9
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,760
Oh yeah, absolutely.
You know how excited we are
10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,800
about this product.
We're not taking the big
11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,880
hamburger bite as the McDonald's
CEO took that one time, but it's
12
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,960
it's, it's approaching that that
size bite.
13
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,200
That's right.
That's right.
14
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,480
And we talked about last week
wide receiver threes and, and
15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,560
once I started to break down
this list, maybe I overstated.
16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,040
Wide receiver threes is where
you make your money.
17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,840
It it's getting, it's putting
its foot in that pool of
18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,480
starting to make money.
Maybe it you make it more in the
19
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,640
wide receiver fours and fives,
the guys that are just dirt
20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,560
cheap that if they have a, a big
swing in value, you know, from
21
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,080
your investment on them, it's
like like buying a penny stock.
22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,960
If it goes up $0.20, well,
that's all you, you made a lot
23
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:34,600
of money, you know, versus a
more valuable asset that just
24
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,240
goes up a few percentage points.
You're not making as much.
25
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:43,080
So I don't know if you noticed
anything with the list you came
26
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,480
up with.
The list I came up with once I
27
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,440
got to the second-half of the
wide receiver threes, that's
28
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,960
where I wrote here.
Lots of variation and probably a
29
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,880
good time to go.
Best player available.
30
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:04,040
Because really, once we get
through the 1st 6, I'd say it's
31
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,759
a real, real crapshoot.
Did did you have any anything
32
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:11,400
you noticed or anything that was
interesting to you when you were
33
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,000
creating your list?
Yeah, I mean, at quick glance,
34
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,280
obviously there's there's some
really good values you can find
35
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,520
here.
As I've said to you before, I
36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,080
don't actually create the list.
I actually like to treat these
37
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,320
as kind of like a draft on the
fly, so.
38
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,080
So.
Yeah, I see who you, who you
39
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,920
pick and then I see who's
available and I kind of like to
40
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:32,160
look at do it that way just cuz
I don't know.
41
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,320
I just, I really like to do it
that way, but I have looked at
42
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,480
the wires here, three options.
And yeah, I mean, like you said,
43
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,080
I I don't know.
I mean, there's definitely some
44
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,840
guys here that can really hit
and then some guys in new
45
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,760
opportunities this year, some
guys we'll see what happens in
46
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,400
NFL draft.
They could be phased out.
47
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,400
It's it's it's really it's it's
tough.
48
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,280
Some of these this is this was
probably this will probably be
49
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,360
our toughest, you know, list to
come up with as far as you know,
50
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,520
you know, options that we have
later in the round here.
51
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,880
Then we're going to be leaving
some players off that we might
52
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,960
think we should leave.
All should have put back on
53
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,840
here.
I don't know it's tough.
54
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,520
I I think there aren't as many
sure things on this list.
55
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,680
But again, we're in the wide
receiver three category and
56
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,640
we're not going to have as many
short things as you as you
57
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:21,520
would, you know, earlier on.
Absolutely.
58
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,280
Well, you want to kick us off
with #20 Oh, I guess before we
59
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,200
do that, I guess we maybe should
we go through the entire list to
60
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,080
get get everybody up to speed.
Yeah, yeah, I could read off the
61
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,880
top 12 and if you want to go
through 13 to 24.
62
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,800
That sounds good, all right.
We start off our top 12
63
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,280
receivers with JSN, Chase Nakua,
Amaral St.
64
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,920
Brown, Malik.
Neighbors, CD Lamb, Drake,
65
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,680
London, JJ, Justin Jefferson,
Ted McMillan, Collins, Ladd
66
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,640
Mcconkey and we rounded out with
George Pickens at 12.
67
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,200
All right, moving on to wide
receiver twos #13 to 24.
68
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,160
We got a Mecca egg.
Buka at 13.
69
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,920
I remember saying that he was
the only sure pick in this
70
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,160
group.
Everybody else was up for grabs.
71
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:18,680
Crystal Lobby at 14.
Offseason darling Luther Burden
72
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:24,480
at 15, we picked Tate, Carnell
Tate at 16.
73
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,080
But I would imagine that could
vary, right?
74
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:30,800
If all of a sudden Tate goes to
a situation and it's really
75
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,720
Lemon that's in the good spot,
you know, the landing spots
76
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,440
going to matter a lot for those
guys.
77
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,080
But we have Carnell Tate at 16.
We got no disciplinary action
78
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,640
needed.
Rushy Rice at 17, That certainly
79
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,240
helps his draft stock.
Got Garrett Wilson at 18, Got
80
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,720
Marvin Harrison junior at 19.
A.J.
81
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,760
Brown at 20.
Got Roma Doonese at 21.
82
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:02,800
Got Amaro star Zay Flowers at
22.
83
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,840
We got winner of the maybe most
over ranked player on our list
84
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:16,920
here, Wandale Robinson at 23 and
Jameson Williams is at 24.
85
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:18,760
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
86
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,720
All right, so we'll hit it off
here at #25 just doing a quick
87
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,840
glance here, I'm going to go
with Devonta Smith at #25 to
88
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:27,440
start off the wide receiver 3
rankings.
89
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,680
He somehow still squeaked out
1000 yards last year in the
90
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:32,680
debacle of the Philadelphia
offense.
91
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,040
That was just a bad season.
We know A.J.
92
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,600
Brown had a down year.
Hertz didn't play well.
93
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,960
Running game was off.
But as we've said before in
94
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,440
previous shows, we're we're
definitely looking forward to
95
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,200
seeing how this new offense with
the new offensive coordinator,
96
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,760
Shawn Mannion, it's his first
time calling plays, But it's
97
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,880
going to be very, very
interesting to see what what we
98
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,560
have here at the bottom to Smith
is 27.
99
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,720
It'll be turning 28 in November.
So obviously he's getting up
100
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,000
there closer to 30.
It's it it's just one of them
101
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,840
players who you know, he's been
boom bust more recently than he
102
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:05,720
was early in his career.
Last year.
103
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,280
He had 68 catches for 833 yards.
He did miss some games this past
104
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:13,720
season, just 11.9 points per
game that this is not going to
105
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,760
get it done.
But you know, we had 77 catches
106
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:21,440
target share he had let's see
how many targets he had 113
107
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,720
targets last year.
I think with an offense and
108
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,160
improved offense when moving the
ball better, better play
109
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,520
calling.
I think you're going to see that
110
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,520
target go, target number
probably approach a potential of
111
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,000
130.
And if you can get to that, you
112
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,680
have a really good value with
Devonta Smith that as a wide
113
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,920
receiver three, we know how
talented he is.
114
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,600
We know the tremendous route
runner he is.
115
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,560
He's just a solid football
player.
116
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,040
It's just going to really come
down to will this offense bounce
117
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,520
back?
And I but I do think in a two to
118
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,120
three-year window, I don't mind
having Devonta Smith as a wide
119
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,960
receiver 3.
And again, we've said many
120
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,680
times, if A.J.
Brown does end up getting moved,
121
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,720
yeah, this is going to look real
strong for for anyone who hasn't
122
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,120
this point.
And I think that's the key.
123
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760
When I was creating some of my
list here, I was looking at the
124
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,240
ages of some of these guys.
And I was like, well, OK, I
125
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,040
guess that's why they're not
ranked higher.
126
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,560
You know, how much value do you
put into a guy that probably
127
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,440
just has, you know, a good maybe
maybe two or three years?
128
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,680
Not everybody is Devante Adams.
You know, most of the players
129
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,760
are like, you know, Cooper Cup
in in the sense that, you know,
130
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,120
you kind of hit 30 and then you
just sort of sort of fade away.
131
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,960
But if we're reading the tea
leaves, Devante Smith, yeah, all
132
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,760
the talk about A.J.
Brown going away, more focus on
133
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,200
the passing offense when he's
been the main target.
134
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000
He produces.
He's got the draft capital.
135
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,720
There's no one else that's just
going to appear and take that
136
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,280
spot from him.
So for at least a year or two,
137
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,920
he he kind of, you know,
bridges, bridges that gap and
138
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,840
hopefully helps people forget
about A.J.
139
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:12,560
Brown and his, his bad attitude.
So I, I, I like that pick.
140
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,160
It's, it's a smart pick.
And when we're talking about
141
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,920
wanting players with the arrow
pointing up Devante Smith, he's,
142
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,560
he's kind of got it.
It's it's the only gamble you're
143
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,280
making.
Is that maybe?
144
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,160
Well, what if A.J.
Brown stays?
145
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,480
Do you feel the same?
If A.J.
146
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,480
Brown stays, pretend we know
already that A.J.
147
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,280
Brown will play this whole year.
Do you feel the same?
148
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,120
I, I base, I'm basing this on
A.J.
149
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,120
Brown staying.
Yeah, I have him at 25.
150
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,640
With A.J.
Brown staying, if he, if he
151
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,120
leaves, I think we could bump
him up a couple spots.
152
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,920
I'd feel more comfortable with
him maybe 2021 to 23 if Devante
153
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,760
if A.J.
Brown leaves, but this is this
154
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,960
is based on A.J.
Brown staying and I still think
155
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,200
he is still a solid pick for
this high up on the wire. 0
156
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,520
threes.
OK, OK, well, I I like it if he
157
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,200
leaves.
I don't like it if he doesn't
158
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,080
leave.
So, but I guess that's that's
159
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,240
what opinions are.
We can.
160
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,120
We can have different ones.
So to ask you if if A.J.
161
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,360
Brown stays where you do still
have him as a wide receiver?
162
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,880
Three though, correct?
Oh yes, yes, yes.
163
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,480
I had him at #20 I had him at
27, OK.
164
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:29,640
So it's not like I, OK, I didn't
have him a mile away, you know,
165
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:35,960
I had two couple spots away.
But I, I feel more strongly
166
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,960
about the first player I picked
on my list at least.
167
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,000
But, you know, I don't have him
too far away.
168
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,400
I just think, yeah, with his
production, if you can slot this
169
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,360
guy in as a low end wide
receiver, 2IN your lineup at
170
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,720
wide receiver three prices,
that's a good thing.
171
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,760
And we know the volatility of
A.J.
172
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,680
Brown.
Or maybe it's a declining skill
173
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:01,520
set.
We don't really know.
174
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,800
You know, the first thing he
does is blame the offense, blame
175
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,440
the game plan.
Maybe it's him.
176
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,120
You know, some players go that
route, but I guess we'll have to
177
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,560
wait and see.
And I I do like the the gambling
178
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:21,520
aspect of him that his value
could shoot up a lot on some
179
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,520
A.J.
Brown news.
180
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:29,880
Well, moving on to #26 as the
first player on my list and you
181
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,080
know, I just mentioned gambling.
I I think that that that's an
182
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:41,160
important thing you need to do
in moderation when it comes to
183
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,800
your team.
Not everything can be a sure
184
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,280
bet.
You have to put some of your
185
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:54,080
draft capital, your your assets
into speculative pieces.
186
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:59,360
And there's no more value of a
player right now.
187
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,080
And the question is Doctor
Jekyll or Mr. Hyde, which is the
188
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,840
real BTJ?
Is it the guy that had 87
189
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:13,320
catches, 133 targets, almost
1300 yards and 202410
190
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,880
touchdowns?
Or is it the guy that couldn't
191
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:21,760
beat out Parker Washington for
targets 700 yards, 2 touchdowns,
192
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:29,080
somehow lost 40 targets last
year, nearly half the amount of
193
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:35,080
catches at 48.
I'm OK rolling the dice at this
194
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,560
price with this guy and his age.
He's 23, will turn 24 in
195
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:43,200
October.
So we can say this is his age 24
196
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,720
season.
This will only be his third year
197
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,240
in the league there.
If it doesn't work out in
198
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,520
Jacksonville, he's always going
to have that that kind of
199
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,240
asterisk by his name.
Well, can somebody fix him?
200
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:03,640
Can somebody fix the situation
because you don't have nearly
201
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,120
historic rookie year like that
And all of a sudden that it
202
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,840
wasn't they didn't scheme him
the ball open.
203
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,120
That wasn't a Wandale Robinson,
you know, 100 catch season for
204
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,600
900 yards.
No, he was a big play threat and
205
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,680
and was easily a top ten dynasty
asset going into 2025.
206
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:32,840
And now here we have them ranked
at #26 it it seems if you're
207
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,360
looking at these players and
you're not in a win now, must
208
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:42,520
win right now, or you've you've
banked your assets in that way
209
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,760
where you can take a speculative
player.
210
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,360
There's no better speculative
player at this price than BTJ.
211
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,440
What do you think?
Yeah, absolutely, man, that
212
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,800
that's I was between BTJ and
Devonta Smith for 25.
213
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,640
So, yeah, I have absolutely no
problem with him there.
214
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,080
Yeah.
I mean, like you said, it's it's
215
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,880
a speculative pick here, but
man, we're really hoping, we're
216
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,760
really hoping what we saw last
year wasn't, you know, a trend
217
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,080
what we're going to see in his
career.
218
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,440
I I would, I find it really hard
to believe that he's just going
219
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,280
to fizzle out and just be a, you
know, a Jag player the rest of
220
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,120
his career.
I can't see that.
221
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,640
I know.
I just can't see it.
222
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,800
The talents just too strong.
We just need to see him have a
223
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,800
better role in this offense.
We need to see him stay healthy,
224
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,680
motivated, just build more
chemistry with Trevor Lawrence.
225
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,760
Yeah, it's it's mind boggling
the what we saw from his rookie
226
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,000
year to his second year, just
the numbers across the board.
227
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,920
Everything was down.
Everything was down.
228
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,680
It's just so hard to it's so
hard to imagine him just staying
229
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,000
in this in this type of role at
this type of situation.
230
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,640
But we're going to really,
really need to see it, see it
231
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,160
happen on the field.
It's just going to be a lot of
232
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,520
talk until that happens.
So BTJ at 26, no issue with
233
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,840
that.
I did the upside.
234
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,240
We know what the upside is.
We already saw it in his rookie
235
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,120
year.
He could be a top five, top top
236
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,880
five receiver.
So that's kind of potential he
237
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,600
has.
But you know, we need to see it
238
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,760
first before we can get back.
Feel uncomfortable with him.
239
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,640
All right #27 very soon.
Not, not not very similar to
240
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,600
BTJ, but similar in the fact
that it was just a complete
241
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,400
debacle of a season for this
team.
242
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,720
I'm going to go with Jordan
Addison at #27 We know exactly
243
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,520
what happened with this team.
The quarterback play in the last
244
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,520
several years, I don't know if
we've seen quarterback play as
245
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,320
bad as they they received last
year.
246
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,400
We saw how much impact the
Justin Jefferson's numbers.
247
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,640
Jefferson didn't get worse.
He's still an elite receiver.
248
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,000
It the what happened was
unbelievable and it affected,
249
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,120
obviously it affected Jordan
Haddison as well.
250
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,640
He had 19 touchdowns his first
two seasons.
251
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,840
This year only three.
The whole offense as a whole
252
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,760
struggled this year.
He only had 79 targets.
253
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,600
You're not going to do anything
with 79 targets.
254
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,480
He played fourteen games.
We know the offseason issue,
255
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,320
offseason offseason issues, off
the field issues he's had the
256
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,840
last couple years.
We hope that can kind of, you
257
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,800
know, as he gets more mature in
his career, as he gets older,
258
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,640
his career, we hope that those
types of issues start to fade in
259
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,960
the they don't become a problem,
but they are right now
260
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,160
currently.
So you always have to think
261
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,760
about that when you're drafting
Jordan Addison, but only 24
262
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,960
years old.
He came to the league really,
263
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,120
really young.
He's only 24 years old going
264
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,120
into his fourth season.
He's an outstanding talent.
265
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,160
He's a first round pick on the
2023 draft.
266
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,320
Then you know, draft capital.
He played for USC.
267
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,160
You know, he just a super
talented player.
268
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,160
But we need the quarterback play
to get better.
269
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,800
And it's Kyler Murray going to
be the answer.
270
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,120
We don't know cuz Kyler Murray
hasn't played well either last
271
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,800
few years.
So it really, really comes down
272
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,480
to can they get competent play?
They only really need to have an
273
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,760
average quarterback play for
either of these receivers to
274
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,000
play well.
They're both great players.
275
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,840
I'm going to be very interested
to see what happens this year in
276
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,080
Minnesota.
It can't get worse.
277
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,320
I mean, I'm hoping it can't get
worse.
278
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,240
It was that honestly, that's
probably one of the worst
279
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,800
quarterback plays I've ever
seen.
280
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,280
It was so bad.
Some of the IT was the numbers
281
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,160
we were seeing these
quarterbacks put up last year
282
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,760
where it was comical.
It was really comical.
283
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,360
And the fact that Minnesota was
competitive in a lot of games is
284
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,880
credit to their defense and, you
know, the coaching.
285
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,120
But I'm interested to see Jordan
Addison this year.
286
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,360
I think he's got a lot of
upside, a lot of potential.
287
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,960
And if they just get confident
play here, I think you can see
288
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,760
him rebound to put a wide
receiver 3 numbers.
289
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,240
Well, I'm happy to hear you say
that.
290
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,800
I I don't feel too.
Jordan Addison didn't even make
291
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:46,920
my list in wide receiver threes,
but I'm OK with him being on
292
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,920
there.
Yeah, it is a question of what
293
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,600
have you done for me lately?
And the experiment with the 9.
294
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,960
You know, that's what JJ
McCarthy calls himself, The
295
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:05,800
9:00, That's ridiculous.
But living in Minnesota, it's
296
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,040
always funny to hear you're kind
of average football fan.
297
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,240
I remember pre season I was
talking with a Co worker and
298
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,040
he's like, Oh yeah, when we get
McCarthy in there, you know,
299
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,240
this year is looking promising.
And then after like a few weeks,
300
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,000
he's like, well, I want to see
the backup quarterback with
301
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:30,920
Brossman or Brossman Viking.
Viking fans are always very
302
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,240
funny.
They, they, they don't have much
303
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,480
to cheer about.
So they just try to take out
304
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,960
their anger on Packers and, you
know, good teams and things like
305
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,360
that.
And, you know, they just never
306
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:46,400
can kind of Minnesota sports.
They're they're living in the,
307
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:53,200
the 80s with the Twins.
It's it's kind of funny, but is
308
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,880
Kyler Murray the answer?
I don't think so.
309
00:17:56,360 --> 00:17:59,320
Why would he be?
Is he going to be better than
310
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,480
the 9?
Sure he will be.
311
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:07,760
He'll be better than the 9.
But you know what's that going
312
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,560
to do for Jordan Addison?
Is he going to put up numbers
313
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,320
similar to Michael Wilson?
At best, he's he's going to have
314
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,880
numbers like Marvin Harrison.
I don't know.
315
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:27,600
I mean, unless Kyler Murray
grows a couple inches and they
316
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:35,400
somehow unlock a better caliber
of quarterback, you know, I
317
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,480
don't know it, it doesn't leave
me hopeful for Jordan Addison
318
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,320
other than his age.
And Minnesota doesn't need to be
319
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,960
the last stop of his career.
So I think that's the the
320
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,400
hopeful spot for Jordan as and
that OK, I, I think this should
321
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,440
be, this should be the end of
his his rookie deal, right?
322
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:57,880
Or would he have another year
left?
323
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,160
Yeah, this would be the last
year of the four year 4 year
324
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,480
rookie deal.
This will be his last year.
325
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,360
All right.
Oh, good.
326
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,120
Good for him.
Then he can get out and then
327
00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:11,720
maybe go somewhere else and play
with a little bit more
328
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,840
consistent quarterbacking but
wider saver three.
329
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,240
He's still young, you know, so
there, there's some runway and I
330
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,920
do like that aspect.
When picking dynasty players,
331
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:27,480
you do have to figure in the age
because if it's not based on
332
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,240
their age, then they need to
produce.
333
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:35,160
Now I will throw yeah.
There real quick before you
334
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:36,640
before you get to the next
player.
335
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:41,040
Yeah, Jordan Addison will remain
in Minnesota under contract
336
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,320
through 2027.
They did pick up his fifth year
337
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,000
option.
That was no that that was just
338
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
recent news that just happened
not too long ago.
339
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,000
So yeah, he will be.
He will be hanging out with the
340
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,680
9 for a little longer.
That's that's rough.
341
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,480
All right, Well, you're going to
have to be a real patient.
342
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,400
Jordan Addison, owner of or hope
for a trade.
343
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,480
I don't know.
Or hope.
344
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,320
I hope Kyler Murray is better
than he's been.
345
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,280
Yeah.
I mean, you think about though,
346
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,920
Minnesota isn't a team that you
know, is they're, they're one of
347
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,520
those teams that if they had a
really good quarterback, they're
348
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,360
going to contend.
I mean, they have that type of
349
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:21,920
type of talent on both sides of
the ball who could be a
350
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,520
quarterback they they could get
though that that makes it happen
351
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:25,960
to.
This isn't like 3-4 years ago
352
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,400
where you just pick up Cousins
or something and he puts a big
353
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,960
numbers.
I don't really know if there's
354
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,680
anyone like that right now.
So well, it's really going to
355
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,680
come down to Kyler Murray.
How well will he play?
356
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,920
I don't think they're really
banking on him being the future.
357
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,440
Obviously they made a better
minimum contract.
358
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,800
I believe it was.
That's just, yeah, I don't know,
359
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,120
very interesting situation in
Minnesota, that's for sure.
360
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,040
Yeah, absolutely.
Well, we'll, we'll move off of
361
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:58,240
BTJ here and move on.
Or excuse me, Jordan Addison
362
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,400
here.
That's right, because he wasn't
363
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,680
even on my list.
I have to put him on there.
364
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:04,600
Jordan Addison.
All right, so that was that
365
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,800
number.
What we say 27.
366
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:13,240
OK, so #28 going with the
fantasy pros over ranked player.
367
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:19,280
Not not our rankings, but
fantasy pros Mr. consistently
368
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:24,760
inconsistent, capped ceiling,
but decent situation.
369
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,160
And one of these guys, OK, he's
27.
370
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:34,360
It's T Higgins.
When Chase doesn't play T, you
371
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:37,840
know, if T was on a different
team with a good quarterback,
372
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,680
certainly the stats would look
different because I mean, man,
373
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,560
you look at this at least the
last couple of years, 10
374
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:51,960
touchdowns on 109 targets, 911
yards in 2024.
375
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:57,400
Last year, 846 yards, so around
the same, about 50-60 yards
376
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:02,480
different. 9 on 98 targets.
He had 11 touchdowns.
377
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,920
And to my knowledge, the
Bengals, their defense isn't
378
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,640
going to improve a whole lot.
They still got Chase, they still
379
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,080
got Burrow.
You still have the cap ceiling,
380
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,680
but when it comes to scoring
touchdowns, if it's not Chase
381
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,120
doing it and it's not the other
Chase, Chase Brown doing it,
382
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,880
it's going to be T Higgins doing
it because Joe Bro doesn't run
383
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:32,360
and they like to pass.
So at this point in making my
384
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:36,560
wide receiver three list, I have
all these guys that are kind of
385
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,880
win now.
They're going to have another
386
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,680
two to three years of
production.
387
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:46,960
Hopefully they've displayed
ability to be a wide receiver 2.
388
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,640
Maybe an occasional spike week
as a wide receiver 1.
389
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,680
I don't I don't know how we
can't put T Higgins here when
390
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:02,880
he's in Cincinnati at age of 27.
Tonight to Joe Burrow, if this
391
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,920
is the time for him to go, he's
not a wide receiver 2.
392
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,560
He's a He's a high end wide
receiver 3.
393
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,200
Yeah, I mean, T Higgins, we know
the type of talent T Higgins
394
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,760
has, you know, play alongside
Chase.
395
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,840
It's always going to be, you
know, a good potential to get
396
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,280
some good matchups there.
Yeah.
397
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,000
I mean, he's just he's he's one
of the when you pick T Higgins,
398
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,120
you feel like it's it's just one
of them guys that you don't
399
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:28,640
you're not you don't feel
disappointed to have him on your
400
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,080
team.
You feel you feel confident when
401
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,840
you have him, especially if he's
going to be a wide receiver.
402
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,320
Three.
I'm more than happy with that.
403
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,760
T Higgins, 27.
He turned 27 in January last
404
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,320
year.
He had 211.6 PPR fantasy points.
405
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,960
And he a lot of his points came
from touchdowns last year at 11
406
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,240
touchdowns.
So, yeah, I mean, he's just one
407
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,720
of them guys that you you could
plug in your lineup and when
408
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,120
he's out there, when he's
healthy, he'll produce for you.
409
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,160
He'll produce for you.
He's not going to, you know, be
410
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,960
a league winning receiver, but
he is a guy that when you're
411
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,240
looking at wide receiver threes,
yeah.
412
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,200
I mean, if he's your third
receiver, that that's a strong,
413
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,440
that's a strong quarter half.
So I, I feel pretty good about
414
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,440
him being there at 28.
All right, so we're going to go
415
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,800
to #29 I was between a couple
guys here, but I think I will go
416
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,120
with a rookie incoming rookie
here #29 I'll go with Makai
417
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:23,320
Lemon.
And just similar to Tate it it
418
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,640
just really a lot of it comes
down to where these guys land.
419
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,000
I mean, we do you and I have
talked about this before.
420
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,760
If Lemon is a player who lands
in a situation like say he lands
421
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,440
in New Orleans, you know, that's
a decent spot.
422
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,000
That's a decent spot for him.
We could develop there, but if
423
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,200
he lands in a spot like New
York, The Jets with Gino
424
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,480
throwing and Garrett Wilson
there, I don't know.
425
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,800
I don't know if I feel as good
about his first couple years.
426
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,920
But I think when you have a guy
as talented as Mackay Lemon, I
427
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,160
think when you obviously he's
going to be probably, you know,
428
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,720
second between 2:00 and 4:00 in
the rookie drafts coming up
429
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,440
here, a really good prospect
here, you know, five 11192.
430
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,080
I think when you look at him and
what he can do out there route
431
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,880
running, I think he he's he, I
don't know, we've talked about
432
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,320
before and previous episodes, I
think with Makai Lemon, we've
433
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,320
obviously we've heard a lot of
the Amaral St.
434
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,000
Brown comparisons.
Those comparisons are, you know,
435
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,160
obviously just just for
entertainment purposes,
436
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,720
honestly, I mean, I you can't
really you don't know for sure
437
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,560
how a player is going to
translate until they get into
438
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,040
this league.
But skill set wise, yes, he he
439
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,080
has that type of skill set.
He can, he can be a high volume
440
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,000
slot receiver.
You know, he, he doesn't have
441
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,920
extraordinary, you know, size or
anything like that, but he's got
442
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,760
tremendous ball skills.
You know, if you've seen him
443
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,640
play at the, the college level,
he's he's very, very smooth out
444
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,600
there on the field.
And again, when you're picking a
445
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,000
rookie without knowing where
they're landing at, it's always
446
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,160
tough.
But I think you're going to,
447
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,680
you're going to see it when you
do start up drafts, you're going
448
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,960
to see the one O 210-3104 get
picked in a range where these
449
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,800
receivers are going to be around
them that we're talking about
450
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,560
right now.
So yeah, I'll go Makai Lemon at
451
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,000
29.
And I feel, I feel good about
452
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,840
that, 'cause I think you're
going to have to probably,
453
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,760
you're going to have to probably
draft the rookie pick in that,
454
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,320
in that range or maybe even a
little earlier.
455
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,280
Yeah, that and this is the first
one we've come out with today.
456
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:24,840
I have the exact same number as
you #29 I, I put next to it
457
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,760
Makai Lemon, but also whatever
rookie is kind of in a good
458
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,920
situation.
Yeah, once again, you put Makai
459
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,680
Lemon in a so so situation, and
it's someone else.
460
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,760
It's Omar Cooper that's really
in the good situation.
461
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,600
Well, maybe.
Maybe then I feel a little bit
462
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,320
better about him, depending on
how bad Makai Lemon's situation
463
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,640
is.
I know you're not supposed to
464
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,320
play fantasy this way, but I
guess that's the nice part about
465
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,920
fantasy.
You can kind of play it how you
466
00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:00,040
want to play it, and situations
can change.
467
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:06,040
But also bad situations can ruin
players, and they certainly can
468
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,240
ruin the value that it takes
forever for that value to come
469
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,640
back.
Or you invest so much into a
470
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,960
player and then you hang on to
them and that oh, OK, it's the
471
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,640
year 6 breakout.
So you've just wasted five years
472
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,120
of your time hanging on to this
player and they finally have one
473
00:27:27,120 --> 00:27:29,440
good year.
I know for me, I'm not going to
474
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,040
hang around to a guy that's
after a few years, if they're
475
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,920
just not producing like I
expected, I'm going to move
476
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,040
them.
I'm going to cut my losses.
477
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:47,920
And so landing spot it, it
matters.
478
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,320
I know everybody wants to
believe they're a tape reviewing
479
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:56,760
genius and it's all about the
talent, but it's what's that guy
480
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,000
in the NBA, Brian?
Brian Scalabrine I think is his
481
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,880
name, where he said people that
were making fun of him and he
482
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,840
said, you know, I'm closer to
LeBron than you are to me.
483
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:14,800
So the player, yeah, the the
player is in the NFL, they're
484
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:20,480
the most elite of all elite
football players, even the ones
485
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,560
that we we laugh at, let's say
Keon Coleman, oh, he's a joke.
486
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,520
But you know, you go put Keon
Coleman in the Canadian Football
487
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,640
League and watch him, you know,
dominate for, you know, 30
488
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,640
touchdowns in a year.
Like he, our level of
489
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,080
professional athlete is just so
much better.
490
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:47,680
So landing spot matters and you
don't want these guys to have
491
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,280
their career ruined.
Like, what's the other guy?
492
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,160
Elijah Moore, where he landed
with The Jets, he seemed so
493
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,320
promising.
He was a second round pick.
494
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:01,400
You saw some explosive plays and
now he's just a journeyman.
495
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:07,280
And so I don't know Mackay
Lemon, though, he's he's
496
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,560
certainly up there at least with
everybody's pre draft talk.
497
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,480
And I agree with you, 29 seems
fair or a rookie that's in a
498
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,320
comparable situation.
If Jordan Tyson lands in on the
499
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,800
Saints or maybe Jordan Tyson
lands with the Dolphins.
500
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,200
OK, well, give me Jordan Tyson
here.
501
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,160
But we'll have to wait and see
how that all plays out.
502
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,480
So Speaking of the go ahead.
I was going to say I agree with
503
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,280
that landing spot so important.
Tyson lands in a tremendous spot
504
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,920
and Lemon lands in a not so
ideal situation.
505
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,440
We're probably going to want,
you know, you're probably going
506
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,800
to see Jordan Tyson be the guy
that most people are taking
507
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:46,480
ahead of.
Lemon.
508
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,840
And that's why it's really hard
to rank players that aren't on a
509
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,560
team yet.
But I like the idea of just
510
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,360
taking a rookie player at this
spot.
511
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,160
But right now, just for our
ranking purposes, Lemon, I think
512
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,120
it's a good option for this one.
I agree.
513
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,960
I agree.
I think that's fair.
514
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:09,040
Well, I had just a briefly
mentioned the Dolphins and my
515
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,200
next pick is a a former Dolphin,
Dan Marino.
516
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,600
No, it's not Dan Marino.
So it's a Ronnie Brown.
517
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:22,040
No, it's not Ronnie Brown.
It's Jalen Waddle.
518
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,320
Yeah, no, a guy that you know,
you certainly could have.
519
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:34,960
I saw him go for some bargain
basement prices last year that I
520
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,680
was just like, man, you know, is
I mean, waddle couple years ago
521
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,120
he was a he was a first second
round startup pick.
522
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,760
Everyone thought he he was the
next big deal.
523
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,520
And once again, landing spot
matters.
524
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,480
He'll turn 28 this year in, you
know, right around Thanksgiving.
525
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,960
He's 27 right now.
His second year in the league
526
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:04,360
was his best year.
He had 13150 yards, 8 touchdowns
527
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,600
and only 117 targets.
That's that's pretty efficient.
528
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,160
But since then, he's had to play
with Tua, he's had to have Tyree
529
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:20,080
kill across the field from him.
And now he's not moving into a
530
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,440
Mike McDaniel offense, He's
moving out of that.
531
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,840
But he's moving with Bo Nicks
and Sean Payton and should be
532
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:31,880
the number one guy.
Is that am I missing that Jalen
533
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,000
Waddle?
He is the number one ride
534
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,360
receiver in Denver.
It's not Courtland Sutton.
535
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,440
You're not saying the 30 year
old guy is the is the number
536
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,920
one?
Or am I wrong about that?
537
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,760
No, I I would agree with that.
I think Jalen Waddle is.
538
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,480
They made the trade at the to
get Jalen Waddle.
539
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,880
My Miami traded Waddle and a
fourth round pick to the Denver
540
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,600
Broncos in exchange for a first,
third and 4th.
541
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,840
So, yeah, I mean, you saw that
you see the draft capital that
542
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,240
was traded to get Waddle.
They're not trading him to be
543
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,800
the backup to be a number two or
three option.
544
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,040
He's he they were they traded
there could they're contending
545
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,320
team.
They almost made the Super Bowl
546
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:08,400
last year.
They're really close.
547
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,200
So obviously this is a trade to
try to get them over the top.
548
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,480
He's going to be their normal
one target.
549
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,200
We got to see it develop.
Obviously Courtland Suns going
550
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:16,480
to have a role, no question
about it.
551
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,120
He's still still important parts
in our offense, but they're not
552
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,280
going to you're not going to
trade all that to have him just
553
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,440
be a role player.
He's going to be the the main
554
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,560
target, but we need to see that
develop first before we can make
555
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,200
any claims on that.
Yeah, yeah.
556
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:36,520
I'm not a still not a big Bonex
believer, but you know, I, I
557
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,560
like Jalen Waddle.
It's an improvement from being.
558
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,920
I know the ship is going down.
It's sinking.
559
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:48,560
He took a life raft to Denver.
I'm I'm happy for him that he's
560
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:54,040
not stuck with Malik Willis and
you know, which most likely is
561
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,400
just going to be a layover
coaching situation until they
562
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,840
bring in some new players.
But yeah, Jalen Waddle is the
563
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,640
number one in Denver.
I like that it and it does bring
564
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,800
me to a kind of an offshoot
question I mentioned to you in
565
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,760
our free free podcast chat.
It got me thinking about
566
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,000
Cortland Sutton.
When I think of Cortland Sutton,
567
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,400
I always think that is a player
I don't want.
568
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,680
I don't want anything to do with
Cortland Sutton.
569
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,480
Now, once again, at the right
price.
570
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,400
If he's thrown in, I'm not going
to, though, go out of my way to
571
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:34,280
draft Cortland Sutton.
I'm not going to go trade for
572
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,880
Courtland Sutton, I don't think.
I mean, once again, unless the
573
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:42,080
deal is right and I started to
think about players that I just
574
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,560
staying away from.
I don't find them on any of my
575
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,440
startup teams.
They're not on any of my teams
576
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,240
overall.
I'm not going to go out of my
577
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,200
way to get them.
Other players I added to this
578
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:58,160
list, Travis Hunter.
Travis Hunter, I don't really
579
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,280
want anything to do with him.
It's just too uncertain and I
580
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,640
don't really even care what the
cost is because it feels like
581
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,560
whatever you spend on it, it
might just not be worth it at
582
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,000
all.
And yes, BTJ Travis Hunter, you
583
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,840
can gamble and could make a
potentially a good return on
584
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,440
Travis Hunter.
But to me, it's just the
585
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,400
uncertainty.
I don't want to have players on
586
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:23,800
my team.
I don't know if they're going to
587
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,239
be playing on offense.
It just seems like a question I
588
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,920
don't need to be asking about a
player on my team.
589
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,120
Courtland Sutton, he's too old.
He's 30 years old.
590
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,920
They bring in a new guy.
Why do I want the old wide
591
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,040
receiver?
2 on the Denver Broncos with
592
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,880
Bone Nix and also the other one
I have on here is Terry
593
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,080
Mclaurin.
I'd rather go with a guy like
594
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,480
Mike Evans, even though Mike
Evans is is, I think he's a
595
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,320
little bit older.
I have to look at Mike Evans age
596
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,640
here.
Let's let's find Mike Evans.
597
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:02,960
Yeah, 'cause Terry Mclaurin I
know is.
598
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,120
Yeah, Mike Evans is a full 2
years older.
599
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:11,080
He's going to be 33 this year
and Terry Mclaurin is going to
600
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,120
be.
Let's see, I want to say he's
601
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,720
30.
I'll have to.
602
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,960
There he is.
Yeah, he'll turn 31.
603
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,280
OK, so one guy's going to be 33,
the other be 32.
604
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,400
If you had to pick, I'd like to
hear a some players you like to
605
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,080
stay away from or you find
yourself staying away from.
606
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,320
And also, too, in a vacuum, who
do you want?
607
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,040
Terry Mclaurin or Mike Evans is
here.
608
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,280
I would say Mike Evans.
I I would definitely say Mike
609
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,440
Evans.
I think he's, he still can be a
610
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,200
high level receiver.
I think I love the, I mean, I
611
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,760
love the situation he's in now
with Brock Purdy, but I don't
612
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,440
dislike Terry Mclaurin too much,
though.
613
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,440
I I still think he can produce.
I think Jayden Daniels, when he
614
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,880
when he's out there and he's
slinging it, slinging the ball
615
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,240
out there and they're playing
well, I think he's going to put
616
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:00,240
numbers up.
But I think for this year for
617
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,000
sure, if you're just talking
about this year, Mike Evans, I
618
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,640
would go Mike Evans.
Yeah, no doubt about it.
619
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,400
And a couple other guys, you
know, Courtland Sutton was one
620
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,720
of the guys I thought about as
trying to avoid now.
621
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:15,440
I mean, even before the Jalen
Waddle trade, I still was
622
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,000
feeling uncomfortable with
Courtland Sutton.
623
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,120
It just seemed like it just
seemed like he was starting to
624
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,400
just the other receiving options
around him.
625
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,440
We're getting really they were
getting involved a lot, a lot
626
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,600
more than you would like to see
if you have Courtland Sutton.
627
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:34,400
He he to me now is a guy that, I
mean, I don't even you don't, I
628
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,120
don't know if you want him to be
one of your starting three
629
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,280
receivers.
You don't want.
630
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,400
I don't even think you want him
to be one of your starting
631
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,360
flexes.
He'd be nice guy to have off
632
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,320
your bench.
I think before the Wild trade, I
633
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,760
think he would have been a
decent flex, but I think now
634
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,560
it's really tough.
It's really tough.
635
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,840
So yeah, he would have been one
of the guys that I would have
636
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,840
mentioned on the list, a guy
that I would another guy I would
637
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,920
avoid, and it's one of the
Pittsburgh receivers.
638
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,920
I think a lot of people go back
and forth with that, but I think
639
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,600
I would avoid Michael Pittman
because I I would favor Metcalf
640
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:06,720
to Pittman.
In my opinion.
641
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:08,800
I just think Metcalf is a better
player.
642
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,080
Not that I'm super high on
Metcalf as a, you know,
643
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,880
obviously we haven't even listed
them yet on our rankings.
644
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,160
So obviously I'm not that high
on him either.
645
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,720
But Pittman's the other guy I
would avoid just because I
646
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:21,600
don't.
I don't know.
647
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,680
I mean, if it's Aaron Rodgers, a
quarterback, which you probably
648
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,440
will be, I'm not too excited
about him supporting multiple
649
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,280
receivers.
If this was Aaron Rodgers 10
650
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,560
years ago, yes, we're very
excited about it.
651
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,280
But this is a slow, slow moving
offense.
652
00:37:35,720 --> 00:37:38,800
Running the clock down to barely
any time left on the clock.
653
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,480
Then they snap the ball, then
we'll see what happens.
654
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,920
He'll take a sack when someone's
50 feet away from him.
655
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,480
It's just not an offense that
I'm that excited about.
656
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:52,800
South Pitman will be a guy that
I would avoid right now as far
657
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,480
as where you're drafting them
at.
658
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,640
But it again, there is a price
for every player.
659
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,720
There's a spot for every player
that you feel comfortable with.
660
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:01,000
It doesn't mean I wouldn't want
Pittman.
661
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,640
All my team I'm OK having on my
roster.
662
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,920
But where I'm seeing him drafted
right now, I think right now at
663
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:09,760
that value, I don't think I
would want him there.
664
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,400
But yeah, I think those are two
guys I would mention here.
665
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,600
And then then I've just some
obvious players.
666
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,920
You know, Brandon Iuke, we don't
even know what's happening with
667
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,080
him right now.
I heard last that San Fran wants
668
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,000
to keep him.
You know, so is that if that
669
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,880
happens, you know, we'll we'll
see how that goes.
670
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,080
He's familiar with the offense.
Maybe things will turn around
671
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,400
from him.
Maybe things will turn around
672
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,160
there.
And then Matthew Golden, that's
673
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,600
another player.
I I don't know how, I don't know
674
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:40,520
if Green Bay, I don't know if
Green Bay is going to have a #1
675
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,040
receiver where they just target
140 times.
676
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,080
They haven't had that since
Rodgers and Aaron Randall Cobb
677
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,000
and Jordy Nelson and Devante
Adams.
678
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,160
They haven't had, they haven't
had anything like that since
679
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,800
then.
It's not the way they this is
680
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,960
not how their offense runs.
So Matthew Golden, you're not,
681
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,080
you're not going to have to pick
them that high.
682
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,200
But I still don't think it's
anyone that I really need on my
683
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,160
roster.
If you're a contending team, you
684
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,560
don't really even need them on
your roster.
685
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:04,960
If you're a rebuilding team,
it's fine to have them.
686
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,720
But like what's where's the
upside at right now?
687
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:08,960
I don't, I don't know, just
there's a lot, there's just a
688
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,920
lot of guys on that team.
So there's a couple guys that I
689
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,240
would certainly want to avoid
right now.
690
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,160
But again, it's not, it's like
I, I think you would agree.
691
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,000
It's not that we don't want them
on a roster at all, but where
692
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,640
you have to take them, it's not
good.
693
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,160
Exactly, exactly.
And I'll throw two other players
694
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,080
and we'll move on to #31 your
pick.
695
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:35,800
I'll throw some hate towards
Parker Washington and Quinton
696
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,880
Johnston as well.
I I don't want anything to do
697
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:44,160
with those guys.
It not not where they're where
698
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,120
they're ranked.
I just don't like Quinton
699
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,280
Johnson.
I just don't see a future and
700
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:53,040
Parker Washington, you know, it.
It's just kind of like, I don't
701
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,520
know the the the arrow is
pointing too much up at this
702
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,400
point where I'd rather spend it
on something.
703
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,680
A a bit more of a shirt thing
versus just, Oh yeah, all of a
704
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,840
sudden, Parker Washington, he's,
he's the man now.
705
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:15,440
I'll let somebody else do that.
All right, let's get back to our
706
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,040
rankings here.
We're going to go with #31 it's
707
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:20,360
going to be another one, an
older player, another older
708
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:24,120
player.
We've had a couple so far today,
709
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,600
but that's kind of what you said
earlier to show a lot of these.
710
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,000
You know, a lot of the wide
receiver three here's are guys
711
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,120
that are a little older but
still productive.
712
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,840
We don't know how he'll do on
his new team, but I think a lot
713
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,520
of people are excited about DJ
Moore #31 he's going to be
714
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,400
turning 29 in April now this
month, so very soon it'll be
715
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,760
turning 29.
If you look at his overall
716
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,080
career, we know he's he's a
really good player.
717
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,280
I mean, no one has ever even
questioned that last couple
718
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,960
seasons.
Not not really a huge factor.
719
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,640
I mean, he had a hundred 140
targets in 2024.
720
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,000
Didn't didn't do a whole lot
with it.
721
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,840
He had 98 catches, but he it
only amounted to 966 yards and
722
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,000
six touchdowns.
That's that's not, that's not an
723
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,480
amazing number with 140 targets.
And then last year, obviously 10
724
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,680
points a game target number went
way down, 85 target.
725
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,640
So he wasn't he just wasn't a
big part of the offense.
726
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,320
But now he's going to play with
Josh Allen.
727
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,480
Everyone knows the situation
here.
728
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,520
They've been looking for a #1
receiver for a couple years here
729
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,200
when Josh Allen has a number
receiver.
730
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,840
We saw what we saw, what could
happen.
731
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,920
Stefan Diggs, obviously at that
point of Diggs, his career, we
732
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:30,640
know.
We know.
733
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,560
Obviously if you compare DJ
Moore to Stefan Diggs at that
734
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,160
point of Diggs career, he was
still at the very top of his
735
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,360
game, one of the top 3 or 4
receivers in football.
736
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,400
Are we expected to see a hundred
15120 catches from DJ Moore?
737
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:48,160
Probably not, but I think it's
safe to say we can possibly see
738
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,280
a 90 catch season out of him,
especially if he gets targeted
739
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,520
the way Stefan Diggs did.
Still a good player.
740
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,640
I mean, there's no question
about he's still, still a good
741
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,640
football player.
He's played, he's played every
742
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:04,000
game though since 2021.
Very durable, extremely durable
743
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,560
player his whole entire career.
I think that's part of the
744
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:07,920
reason why the Bills wanted to
get him.
745
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,360
They needed someone to be able
to rely on because they're
746
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:11,560
trying to make a push for the
Super Bowl.
747
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,600
They've been they've been in
this state, same spot for the
748
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,800
last few years now.
So I'm I'm excited to see how it
749
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,920
goes.
I mean, wide receiver 31 for a
750
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,560
guy who can put up possibly put
up high end wire receiver 2
751
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,320
numbers this year.
I don't have any issue with that
752
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,720
dynasty wise.
I don't have any issue with him
753
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:33,040
being here either.
So yeah, DJ Moore, 3131.
754
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,600
I like it.
I had him at 30 when he said
755
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,320
he's durable, Yeah, no, I was
thinking so.
756
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,480
Physically, he never gets hurt.
The only part of DJ Moore that
757
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,520
gets hurt are his feelings
emotionally.
758
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,480
Emotionally he gets hurt, but
that that's OK.
759
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,080
He at least will be on the
field.
760
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:58,760
So let's move on to #32 this is
a guy who does get physically
761
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,800
hurt, but emotionally he is hard
as nails.
762
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,600
He's real tough guy.
Christian Watson.
763
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,320
I'm putting the Christian Watson
here at 32.
764
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:16,160
He's going to be 27 in May, and
you know how he flashed at the
765
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:21,680
end of last year, Once again,
the arrows pointing up that
766
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,960
maybe somehow the trainers have
gotten him healthy.
767
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,600
Maybe there's more of a desire
to play.
768
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,440
I don't know.
I don't know what it is, but
769
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:37,080
when I think of kind of like a
bargain bin Jameson Williams
770
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,760
type of player that's a little
bit older, a guy that's going to
771
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,400
be your big play guy that can go
out and score 2 touchdowns, have
772
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,480
100 yards.
You don't know when it's going
773
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,800
to happen because the floor is
really low.
774
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,680
It could be, you know, 3
catches, it could be here, what
775
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:55,800
do you have?
Week 16 last year against the
776
00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:01,080
Bears, 2 catches for 17 yards on
16 or on 6 targets.
777
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,600
That's it.
It was it was very, very low.
778
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,920
But the fact that the Green Bay
wide receiver room is so wide
779
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,280
open, Give me Christian Watson
here at #32.
780
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,880
Yeah, I mean, I, I like that.
I like that we all, we all know
781
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,080
the upside.
He has, we've seen the big games
782
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,120
he could put up.
There was a stretch this year
783
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,600
where he was, he was becoming a
must start.
784
00:44:25,720 --> 00:44:27,680
You know, he he was a guy that
if you had him, you were
785
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,400
starting him, then he was, he
was doing really well.
786
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,560
You know, it's really cool to
see him come off the injury and
787
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:34,520
and put together some good
games.
788
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,480
So yeah, it's just with
Christian Watson, it's just
789
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,640
about him staying on the field.
If you can get a decent amount
790
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,960
of targets, he's going to put up
numbers because he it only takes
791
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,400
one or two for him to have a
good game.
792
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,000
So Christian Watson, there #32
no issue with that.
793
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,400
This is this one here.
This one here is tough.
794
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,640
This one here I think is tough.
I'm looking at the list here.
795
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,960
There isn't anyone that totally
pops out right now, but I'm
796
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:03,040
going to go with and I don't
feel great about it, but I'm
797
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:07,920
going to go with DK Metcalf at
33 and we go with DK Metcalf at
798
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,200
33.
We'll see what we'll see.
799
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,720
We just talked about Michael
Pittman a little bit ago.
800
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:17,240
We'll see what happens now with
another guy here on the team
801
00:45:17,240 --> 00:45:20,880
that's going to command targets.
Metcalf, obviously earlier his
802
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,960
career, you know, everyone was
drafting him, first round
803
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,240
dynasty startup pick.
He was commanding tons in
804
00:45:27,240 --> 00:45:29,240
trades.
You know, everyone knew knew
805
00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:30,480
what he was doing there in
Seattle.
806
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,080
He was putting up really good
numbers.
807
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:40,680
But then honestly, since 2023,
yeah, he he had 11114 yards, but
808
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,720
his receptions have start to dip
since that year.
809
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,280
He had a 90 catch year in 2022
and then ever since then he
810
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,360
hasn't had any more than 66 in
the season.
811
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,960
So we we just see that his role
in the offensive he's in isn't
812
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,120
as premier as it was early in
his career.
813
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:01,080
He's got to keep his head on
straight and just just just find
814
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,280
a way to connect with Rodgers
more this year because it just,
815
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,600
it just wasn't working last
year.
816
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:09,320
I mean, 15 games play last
season, 99 targets, 59 catches,
817
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,880
that's not great. 850 yards, 6
touchdown, just not a great
818
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,200
season.
But at this point, you know, he
819
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:20,000
turned 28 in December.
At this point in our rankings,
820
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,400
33, we're getting close to the
end of the wide receiver 3.
821
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,840
He is a wide receiver three.
I don't, I don't think there's
822
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,440
any question he is wide receiver
3 and I'm OK with him being here
823
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,360
again.
I'm not crazy excited about him
824
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,920
as a starting fantasy option,
but the end of the wide receiver
825
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,880
three list, I think he I think
he deserves a beer.
826
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,240
Yeah, I agree.
This is the second player in in
827
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:45,440
this listing that we've had
here.
828
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,920
I had him exactly at #33 I guess
you're right.
829
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:54,920
The age that works against him,
the declining production, he got
830
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,320
his money and then he played
worse.
831
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,600
The situation isn't getting
better.
832
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,680
It's like how many more years
does Aaron Rodgers have?
833
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:10,080
But he's he's not 30 plus he is
still the wide receiver one on
834
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,600
his team.
So I think it when we're we're
835
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,120
looking at this range of
players, you got to you got to
836
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:21,840
look for the positive and if you
can find the wide receiver one
837
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,720
on their team and it's not a,
you know, a total, you know,
838
00:47:25,720 --> 00:47:30,480
awful trash situation, which no,
being the number one wide
839
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,520
receiver with Rodgers throwing
you the ball, that that's it
840
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:40,560
could be a lot worse and hoping
that the old DK bounces back and
841
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,040
for a wide receiver 3 Price,
which you're right, that's what
842
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,360
he is.
He's he's not JJ.
843
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:50,920
He's he's a wide receiver 3.
So I'm OK with him here at #33
844
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:55,600
All right #34 And you know, I
don't, I don't feel good about
845
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,640
this one.
But I started when I was picking
846
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:03,960
this group of players to go, OK,
we got to focus on the known.
847
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:10,160
Like, OK, DK is on paper the
wide receiver one Alec Pierce at
848
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:15,680
34, OK, he got a lot of money
that we know that that's a known
849
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,840
and we know he's a big play
threat.
850
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,480
And they got rid of Michael
Pittman and Daniel Jones is
851
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:28,200
back.
And is he, you know, he's, he's
852
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,600
a worse version of Jameson
Williams than Christian Watson
853
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:35,480
is this guy that's just going to
make a few big plays.
854
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,840
I mean his, when you look at his
targets over the course of his
855
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:43,320
career, he's never topped 84
targets in a year.
856
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:49,200
And the most yards he has, he
just got over 1000 yards last
857
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:50,720
year.
And 1000 yards isn't what it
858
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:55,480
used to be in an 18 game season,
6 touchdowns year before he had
859
00:48:55,480 --> 00:49:00,440
7 touchdowns.
I'm going to hope that the money
860
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:04,360
means something and he's going
to be 26.
861
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:08,240
So he's at least he's still has
some room to play out this
862
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:14,000
contract and not a lot of top
end competition in Indy.
863
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:20,360
Maybe they focus on Alec Pierce
a little bit more and you got
864
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,840
your boom bust guy that all you
need is a touchdown out of him
865
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,080
every once in a while and you'll
be OK.
866
00:49:26,720 --> 00:49:29,800
So I I put Alec Pierce here at
34.
867
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:33,600
Yeah, he definitely, definitely
deserves to be on his list.
868
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,680
That contract he got that
definitely shows that they
869
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,400
really view him as an important
part to their future.
870
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,640
You know, he's only 25 right
now.
871
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:43,320
He's going to be turned 26 in
May.
872
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,880
So obviously age is, you know,
that's good age insulation there
873
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,480
for him.
They drafted him the second
874
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,680
round, so they view him as an
important part to the team.
875
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:54,200
So now let's see, let's see how
that plays out target wise.
876
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,320
Like you said, he was still,
he's never had more than 84
877
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,600
targets in the season, so he
hasn't been a target hawk at
878
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,000
all.
He never has been, but with
879
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,680
Michael Pittman out, you would
imagine there's going to be more
880
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,760
targets for him, but also we
could see there going to be more
881
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,200
targets for Josh Downs and Tyler
Warner as well.
882
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,240
So it's going to go hand in hand
with all those guys.
883
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,400
But yeah, I mean, I, I think
this is one of those interesting
884
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,360
players that he could win you a
week at any moment.
885
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,080
You know, obviously it's
amazing.
886
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,160
I still, I still am amazed at
that.
887
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,600
That stat line, 47 catches for
1000 yards.
888
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,560
That's that's amazing total of
catches, but he did it and and,
889
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,800
and he can do that and that's
the type of that's the type of
890
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,040
player he can be.
But man, it would really, it
891
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,480
would really would be cool to
see him get getting more
892
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,800
consistent targets and be able
to round out his game a little
893
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,320
more.
So, yeah, excited to see how he
894
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:45,360
does at 35.
We're going to go with the
895
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,080
oldest player.
I honestly think this is the
896
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:53,320
oldest player, not name, not a
quarterback and all the rankings
897
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,680
we've done, all the positions.
I think, I mean correct me if
898
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,640
I'm wrong, but I think this is
the oldest player on our
899
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,240
ranking, not quarterback.
It's going to be Devante Adams
900
00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:09,720
at #35 when he is the one player
on this list that we have that
901
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,040
if you have them on your team,
you're pretty much starting him
902
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:15,960
every week.
You just aren't.
903
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:17,560
You're starting them every every
single week.
904
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,320
There's a couple other players
on the list like Waddle, DJ
905
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:21,800
more.
I could see them being every
906
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:26,280
week starters Higgins, but Adams
is what the I mean, we have
907
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,120
ranked at 35.
This is dynasty.
908
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,280
Of course we can't we're not
going to be able to push him up
909
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,280
that much more.
He turned 33 in December.
910
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,920
He's he hasn't been healthy last
couple years.
911
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,600
He's missed it.
He missed three games last two
912
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,440
years each year.
So he's missed 6 in the last two
913
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,320
years.
But man, when he's on the field,
914
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:45,240
there is absolutely no question.
Even with the New York Jets, he
915
00:51:45,240 --> 00:51:49,560
put up 85 catches for 1063 and 8
touchdowns last year.
916
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,600
We know the touchdown machine he
was last year, 14 touchdowns
917
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,600
that propelled obviously his
numbers, but he's still putting
918
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,880
consistently 220 plus fantasy
points on the board.
919
00:51:59,720 --> 00:52:03,640
He he's one of the guys that if
you, if you're a contending
920
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,720
team, you are going for Devante
Adams.
921
00:52:05,720 --> 00:52:08,560
You want him on your team
because he can put up wide
922
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:11,880
receiver 1 numbers.
He can, he can do it and he can
923
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,160
finish the season.
Has a high end wide receiver 2,
924
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,120
maybe even a wide receiver one.
I mean, look at just look what
925
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,840
he did last year.
He only had 60 catches, only has
926
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:24,320
seven to 89 yards, but the
impact he made in the red zone,
927
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,280
you, you can't you can't ignore
that Matthew Stafford is still
928
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:29,840
going to be throwing the
football to these guys.
929
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,280
Pukuku is number one on the
Rams.
930
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,760
Nobody's questioning that.
But there's enough to go around
931
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,560
as they you know how Sean
McVeigh, they love to pass the
932
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:39,800
ball.
They're going to he's going to
933
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,520
get his numbers and this is this
is it.
934
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,400
Back and wide receiver 300
rankings that could put up wide
935
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,000
receiver 1 numbers week to week
and that he's an interesting
936
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,880
player to have.
But this is again, this is for
937
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,400
contending teams.
If you're rebuilding team,
938
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,920
obviously you look for someone
that is contending and you trade
939
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:59,360
them as it gets closer to the
season.
940
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,400
I wouldn't trade them yet.
I would wait till it gets closer
941
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,800
because people will look for
Adams as a guy they can plug
942
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,640
into the if you think about you,
you.
943
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:11,320
Have Devante Adams on your team
and you know it doesn't work out
944
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,480
for you.
Well, if he has another year
945
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,680
similar to how he had last year,
you're you're still going to be
946
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:21,600
able to cash out on him and take
something of value home with you
947
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:26,720
or trade him for a younger asset
and what he can give you in one
948
00:53:26,720 --> 00:53:30,440
season.
You know, not to mention if
949
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:36,520
there's injuries around him, he
hasn't shown that he's lost his
950
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,240
step.
And until he does, he's the
951
00:53:39,240 --> 00:53:43,520
outlier.
And yeah, no, I'm, I'm totally
952
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,920
comfortable with him here at #35
he deserves to be here.
953
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:52,600
And if he can give you 1 mid
wide receiver, 2 range season,
954
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,240
that that may be a lot more than
the players we would name after
955
00:53:58,240 --> 00:54:00,320
him.
We there's no one else with a
956
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,360
ceiling as high as him or a
player that's going to return
957
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,720
you what he can return you if it
doesn't work out for your team.
958
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,240
So no, I I'm comfortable with
that.
959
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,400
Yeah.
And and Adams is the one guy on
960
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,640
this list.
Today that if you're just
961
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:19,920
looking at 2026 this season
coming up, I mean, Adams, if
962
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,760
we're going to do some mock
drafts as they get closer to the
963
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,440
NFL season, redraft mock drafts,
we've done that before.
964
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,680
It's going to be so funny to see
where you're drafted, Adams at.
965
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:31,800
You're not getting them at the
35th receiver.
966
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,080
You're going to get them
probably at the 15th receiver.
967
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,440
You know, it's crazy.
It's going to be crazy to see
968
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,800
the difference, but that just
shows you what he could do for
969
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,960
you this year.
And if you're a contending team,
970
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,920
why would you not want to get
him at this point?
971
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,760
I know in our startup draft, I
got him in the tenth round.
972
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,760
I mean, you get a guy in the
tenth round that could put up
973
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,840
wide receiver 1 numbers and you
have a chance to compete this
974
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,080
year.
That's a great that's a great
975
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,640
pick to have and I've seen a lot
of people get him in that range.
976
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,840
I've seen a lot of people trade
for him because they have they
977
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,920
they just need that one guy to
get them over the top.
978
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,640
We obviously it's we're we're in
April right now.
979
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:11,520
Let's see how the offseason
plays out.
980
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,040
You know, God willing, he's able
to stay healthy, you know, take
981
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,440
good care of himself and it's
offseason and get ready for the
982
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,200
season.
But if he's out there on the
983
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,040
field, like you mentioned, he
hasn't lost a step.
984
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,440
He's still, he's still doing,
like you said, he's the outlier.
985
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,760
He's the he's the Derrick Henry
of the wide receiver position
986
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,480
when it comes to players still
producing at this crazy high
987
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,200
level at that age.
It's it's it's really pretty
988
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:33,520
awesome to see.
Yeah.
989
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:39,840
All right, well, we got one.
Spot left here number 36 and I
990
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:44,120
have it down to two players here
and one I said no, I'm not
991
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,840
falling for it again.
So I mean, maybe he'd he'd be
992
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:52,120
the honorable mention.
I, I have it between I got here,
993
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:57,000
Jaden Higgins and Josh Downs.
And of course we know about Josh
994
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,840
Downs and the analytics and
Pittman's gone and you only got
995
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,040
to deal with Alec Pierce and
maybe they're going to put him
996
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:07,320
on the outside.
I'm not going to, you know, I
997
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,960
don't mind getting Josh Downs or
having Josh Downs on my team.
998
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:13,720
No, he's not a player I'm
avoiding.
999
00:56:13,720 --> 00:56:15,600
He'd actually be a player I
might seek out.
1000
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,280
But for the wide receiver 3
here, we're going to look, you
1001
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:19,960
know, this is where you're
trying to make some money.
1002
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:25,280
Give me AT Higgins light here,
give me a Jayden Higgins,
1003
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,920
another Higgins, right?
We got T Higgins and now we got
1004
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,840
Jayden Higgins.
You're playing with the worst
1005
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,480
quarterback in a worse
situation.
1006
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:40,640
But Nico Collins, he's he's not
like super durable and Jayden
1007
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:44,600
Higgins is going to he'll be 23
for most of the season.
1008
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,640
His birth dates in December
15th.
1009
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:50,000
So he's 23.
He's a big wide receiver, just
1010
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:54,880
like T Higgins.
He's 64215 good draft capital,
1011
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:59,720
second round, second pick last
year and he had a decent year
1012
00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:03,920
last year. 525 yards, 6
touchdowns, 68 targets.
1013
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,800
Well, let's say they bumped that
up to 110 targets.
1014
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,720
What what do those numbers look
like if all the sudden he has
1015
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:15,600
800 yards and eight touchdowns?
We're we're he, he moves up our
1016
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,840
rankings.
And certainly if Nico Collins
1017
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,840
sits, you don't draft a wide
receiver like this because
1018
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,040
you're assuming Nico Collins is
the future.
1019
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:30,160
No, you draft a wide receiver
this high because he's he's
1020
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,240
going to play a complimentary
role now maybe for another year
1021
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:37,840
or so, but he's the future.
And for a guy that kind of a
1022
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:44,240
little bit under the radar, I I
like him at #36 yeah, that I
1023
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:45,800
agree.
Definitely under the radar.
1024
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,680
Not a player you're really
thinking about too much heading
1025
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,040
into the season.
But like you mentioned, I mean
1026
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,880
he he definitely put us some
good games, put us some decent
1027
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:59,880
numbers for his rookie season
here. 41 catches, 5 to 25 yards,
1028
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,280
6 touchdowns is a really good
rookie rookie year.
1029
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,040
It really is.
Especially an offense that just
1030
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:06,840
didn't produce a whole lot.
It just didn't.
1031
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,880
But I like that Nico Collins is
on the other side.
1032
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,960
I like that that that's going to
help him develop as a receiver.
1033
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,400
64215 really good, really good
size there.
1034
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,120
He was a second round pick for
the Texans, so we know the draft
1035
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,120
capitals there for him.
I like that pick.
1036
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,160
I really do.
I think he's he's a guy that can
1037
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:27,880
rise, rise up the rankings if he
put together a Goodyear too.
1038
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,240
Definitely exciting prospect.
I really, I really like that
1039
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:35,000
pick Terrific, terrific well.
To close it out, I'm curious if
1040
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,960
I can't remember, did we already
do running back threes?
1041
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,160
No, we did not do that.
We finished.
1042
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:45,440
We have the top 24 ranks so far.
We did not do the running back
1043
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,520
threes.
All right, Well, I I think
1044
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:51,360
that'll be a.
That's a a very, I want to say
1045
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:55,000
it won't be easy, but but it
makes sense.
1046
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,000
We're we're not doing the
quarterbacks, we're not doing
1047
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,080
the tight ends and we've already
done the wide receivers.
1048
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,800
So we might as well do the
running backs Next week.
1049
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:08,080
We'll do some running back
threes and that's a yeah.
1050
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,840
I imagine it's going to be a
list of guys that are just
1051
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,680
waiting on the sidelines waiting
for someone else to get hurt
1052
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:15,600
that that's what it's going to
be.
1053
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,200
It's going to be a lot of guys
just that are handcuffs waiting
1054
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,240
for someone else to get hurt.
But we'll, we'll get to that
1055
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,600
topic when we get to it.
Today's show was fun.
1056
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:28,520
It was a good show.
You know, I'm sure maybe we may
1057
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:33,640
be left out a player or two and
we once again, landing spots
1058
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,760
will matter.
I'm sure if we do this in a
1059
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:40,160
couple months from now, it'll
look potentially a heck of a lot
1060
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,600
different with different players
in different spots.
1061
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,800
But yeah, no, it was a good
show.
1062
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:50,520
And next week we'll do our
running back threes and want to
1063
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,120
thank everybody for listening
that listens every week.
1064
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,360
I appreciate that a lot.
It's a lot of fun for both of
1065
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,400
us.
So I'll I'll wish everybody a
1066
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,840
good week.
I got a start up starting
1067
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:06,320
tomorrow, so I got to get some
mock draft and then and maybe
1068
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:10,680
trade away some more picks.
But I'll let you, I'll I'll let
1069
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:12,160
you close it out.
Weapon X.
1070
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,320
Yeah, this was a great week,
Really fun.
1071
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:20,240
Ranking these receivers got
tough at times, but I'm sure we
1072
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:21,400
missed some players like you
said.
1073
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,400
But hey, as you said, you know
earlier in the beginning of the
1074
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,160
show, this is not dynasty
advice.
1075
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,720
So if we did miss a receiver,
you're going to have to yell
1076
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:32,200
someone else.
It's not it's not our fault.
1077
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,040
No, no, seriously though, it's a
lot of fun.
1078
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,840
It's a lot of fun.
A lot of there's a lot of
1079
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:42,200
players here on this list that
have either had monster seasons
1080
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,320
in the earlier their career or
have potential to to have big
1081
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:49,160
seasons coming up.
So yeah, it's exciting.
1082
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:50,880
Good luck in your draft coming
up.
1083
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:54,040
I know, I know you're excited to
get into that one.
1084
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,800
So yeah, we'll we'll look
forward to hearing about how
1085
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,720
your team shaping out next week.
All right, everyone, thanks.
