00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,640
Hello and welcome back to Lab 52
at Dynasty Football Podcast.
2
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,040
I'm one of your hosts, the Tecmo
Weave, joined by my Co host
3
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,360
Weapon X.
As always, this is not Dynasty
4
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,320
advice.
You need to do your own
5
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,640
research, watch YouTube.
As I said, it's just it's what
6
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,960
we do.
We watch YouTube, we go on the
7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,960
websites and form your own
opinions.
8
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,640
We're just here to help you get
get some insight from what we
9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,680
think Today we're going to do a
show about RB threes, basically
10
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,320
running back in dynasty 25 to
36.
11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,720
And, and when I was coming up
with my list today, I started to
12
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,360
think to myself, well, you know,
are we looking at this through a
13
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:04,200
lens of startups or are we
looking this through a lens of
14
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,000
just the general dynasty
economy?
15
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:14,120
And when when you create and and
rank your players weapon X, are
16
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,480
you looking through it through
just a startup lens or are you
17
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,920
looking at through the dynasty
economy like once once a team is
18
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,840
already established?
Yeah, dynasty economy, but I do
19
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,120
use the startup draft positions
as a guide, you know, to kind of
20
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,760
you see where they're going
right now in startups and kind
21
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,560
of go by that.
But yeah, just dynasty economy
22
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,160
just based on their, you know,
dynasty outlook for this coming
23
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,200
season and, you know, their
outlook for the next couple
24
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,120
years.
That's kind of how I look at it
25
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,000
when I do these rankings in a
dynasty economy tub.
26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,120
Aspect, wonderful, wonderful.
And I mean, I guess it is all
27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,720
baked into the price that if
you're getting a player like
28
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,400
David Montgomery and maybe we'll
talk about him later, when you
29
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,640
look at him through a redraft
lens, he has one value.
30
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,920
When you look at him in
comparison to RJ Harvey, the,
31
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:11,800
you know, next All Pro, a Hall
of Fame player, they have value
32
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:14,920
similarly, but it's in a
different way.
33
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,560
But yeah, no, I mean, I guess
we'll we'll get to the list
34
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,600
here.
But once again, before we get to
35
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,320
the list, do you think we should
cover?
36
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,280
Let's cover one through 12 and
then 13 through 24?
37
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,320
All right, so the top 12 R BS we
have #1B John Robinson, 2, Jamir
38
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:39,080
Gibbs, 3, Ashton Jetty, 4, Devon
A chain, five Jeremiah Love, 6
39
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,040
of Marion Hampton, 7 Taylor, 8
Cook, 9 is Bruce Hall, 10
40
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,280
Irving, 11 Henderson, and 12 is
Chase Brown.
41
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,120
Yeah, going through these top 12
and we did this several weeks
42
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,240
back.
It's, it's still looking pretty
43
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,480
strong.
And I, I just as I was reading
44
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,800
these off, it's still looking
really strong based on how the
45
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,600
offseason has been going.
But it's going to be really
46
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,800
interesting when this draft
comes.
47
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,720
So if you want to cover the 13
to 24.
48
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,520
I would love to do that.
At 13 we got Saquon Barkley.
49
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,680
At 14, we got Kenneth Walker 15.
We got CMC 16.
50
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,400
We got Javonte Williams At 17.
We got Quinch on Judkins.
51
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:25,000
At 18, we got Kyron Williams 19.
We have etn #20.
52
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,120
We have a guy that may get
sniped at the draft, Cam
53
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,240
Scatabo.
I guess we don't know 21.
54
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:37,640
We got Josh Jacobs, 22, DeAndre
Swift 23, Derrick Henry.
55
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,360
It's a joy to watch him play,
but not as much of A joy as #24
56
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:47,840
RJ Harvey.
Yeah, I mean, you look at the 13
57
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,400
to 24, obviously Harvey, we've
been talking about him for a
58
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,000
while, but obviously we're we
we're just having fun with it
59
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
all started obviously when we
talked about their kind of
60
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,440
reaction being a joy to watch
and a blessing to watch play.
61
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,080
Techno came in here trying to
equate RJ Harvey with Derrick
62
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,040
Henry.
It's it's tough to do that right
63
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,240
now, but let's let him.
Let's let him do something first
64
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,280
before we can officially label
him all time great, which I
65
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,680
fully expect we can do.
Yeah, I mean, if he's already
66
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,519
pretty old RJ Harvey, that is
for for a second year player.
67
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,320
If you we tacked on a couple
more years, I'm not sure he'd be
68
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,640
in the top 24.
But then again, he's only had
69
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,720
one year of production.
All players can learn a system
70
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,600
and time has shown us batting
against Sean Payton, it doesn't.
71
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,880
I guess you end up losing if
you're betting against him.
72
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,360
Yeah, for sure.
I and I think when I look at
73
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,280
these also here, another thing I
was thinking of, when you look
74
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:52,240
at the RB 13 to 24, there are a
couple here.
75
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,800
Obviously Kenneth Walker, when
we were doing the, the rankings,
76
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,360
he wasn't signed with the Chiefs
yet.
77
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,880
So that I think that definitely
changes with him.
78
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,800
Where do you think you, you
would have him now in the
79
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,480
rankings if we had to redo it?
Is he still in the same range or
80
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,760
do you think he's up a couple
spots?
81
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,680
Well, you got to move them up a
couple spots.
82
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,400
You have to, you absolutely have
to.
83
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,640
I never liked Bucky Irving in
our top 12.
84
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,560
So there we go.
That's a perfect replacement.
85
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,840
We'll, we'll move Kenneth Walker
right in there.
86
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,320
For sure.
Yeah, I can see that.
87
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,160
And then for the most part,
though, I would look at the rest
88
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,840
of the rankings.
I, I like pretty much where we
89
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:33,120
have everyone here, Scatterbell.
Obviously it's, it's going to be
90
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,320
tough and see what happens.
If, if, if, if Jeremiah Love
91
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,480
goes to New York, that's going
to be really tough.
92
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,600
That's going to be really tough
for him and his dynasty outlook.
93
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,520
But I still like the, the
potential for him as a, as a
94
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,080
really good value of drafts
right now.
95
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,920
But yeah, I, I did have one
question.
96
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,280
I know we've been doing this for
a while now.
97
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:55,360
We, we did a reboot show couple
months back.
98
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,160
Let's, let's let's explain our
nicknames.
99
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,640
I think that's a good thing to
do.
100
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,560
We did, we talked about it way
back five years ago.
101
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,360
But like you said, I don't think
the, I don't think the audience
102
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,560
from five years ago is still, is
still locked in as much.
103
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,120
So if there's a there's a new
audience, maybe now listening,
104
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,600
so maybe we can explain how we
got our nicknames.
105
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,360
I'll let, I mean if you can take
the floor first and then.
106
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,520
I'll for sure, yeah.
For me, basically it was when I
107
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,760
started playing Dynasty, I
believe it was around 2014.
108
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,440
Around that time, 2014, I
started playing Dynasty and you
109
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,400
know, the 1st team name I could
think of was Weapon X.
110
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,600
And that's not the Marvel
character actually, it's
111
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,720
actually Brian Dawkins who is
one of my all time favorite
112
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,280
football players, amazing
defensive player for the
113
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:49,480
Philadelphia Eagles Hall of
Famer.
114
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,800
And his nickname was Weapon X.
So that's one of the first names
115
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,440
I thought of when I was thinking
of my team name.
116
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,640
And it's just stuck.
I've I've kept that name
117
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,680
basically with every single
dynasty team I've had.
118
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,040
Yeah, and that's, that's pretty
much what it is.
119
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,080
And, and the, the people in our
leagues were the majority of the
120
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,640
people that were listened to
when we were recording episodes
121
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,680
were the people in our leagues.
So we're like, I know you and I
122
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,400
talked about it and we said,
it's just, you know, roll with
123
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,200
that, roll with the names.
That's what they know us as.
124
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,360
So let's just keep it going.
Yeah, yeah.
125
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:25,720
No, I, I, you know, being in a
number of leagues and you may
126
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,800
see some of the same owners when
an opening opens up or someone
127
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,040
does a startup, some folks will
go in there and they'll create a
128
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,000
new team name for the new
league.
129
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,160
So you know them as Weapon X in
one league, but they are a
130
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,000
different name in a different
league.
131
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,440
I'm like you I I tend to keep
the same brand name throughout
132
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,600
each and every league that I can
unless there's some reason that
133
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,960
I can't.
It it may be an aspect of the
134
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:02,080
league, like a namesake league
where you draft A-Team instead
135
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,920
of players.
Then your your name is based on
136
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:11,000
the team you pick.
But yeah, the Tecmo weave, it's
137
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,240
based on Tecmo.
Super Bowl.
138
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,640
You asked me probably one of the
top top five games, best games
139
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,760
ever created.
They still update the rosters
140
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,560
every year underground that is,
you know, people that just are
141
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,600
fans of the game.
So that says something that a
142
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:38,480
game that was made probably 35
years ago, it really spoke to a
143
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,799
lot of people.
There's national championships,
144
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,520
I'm pretty good, but I'm not
sure if I'm on that level.
145
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,000
But the Tech, so that's techno
Super Bowl.
146
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,440
But if you're familiar with the
game, the if there's a winning
147
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,360
move, it's when you're about to
be tackled.
148
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,160
You kind of weave up back and
forth on the field.
149
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,160
That's how you dodge tackles.
So if you can do it, if you can
150
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,520
do it, the better you can do
that, the better you'll do in
151
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,560
the game.
So it's a winning move.
152
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,760
And I figured, well, what a
better name.
153
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,560
If you want to have a winning
brand of fantasy football, then
154
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:26,040
the unstoppable Tecmo weave.
And you'll notice some NFL
155
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,640
players do a version of that
where they weave back and forth
156
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,640
as they're trying to dodge
people's tackles.
157
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,360
If they're breaking away, it's
it's kind of funny.
158
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,920
Yeah, absolutely.
That game has always been one of
159
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,880
my favorites.
I remember I was playing it when
160
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,800
I was real little, I think 5-6
years old.
161
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,080
I started playing that game.
My brother showed me the game
162
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,200
and we would play season after
season.
163
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,720
You could play a season in a day
sometimes how quick those games
164
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,560
went.
But it it was a great game, man.
165
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:57,160
It definitely helped me learn
more about football when I was
166
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,760
at that age.
Learn the players.
167
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,000
I would know.
I knew all the players names
168
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,800
just because when you play
season after season, you just
169
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,200
get used to it.
That's one of my favorite games,
170
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,280
man.
I I think if you look back at
171
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,080
some of the video games that
have come out in the years, I
172
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,160
think Tecma Super Bowl right up
there Mario three, one of the
173
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,280
best games of all time.
That these are just classic
174
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,960
games and you just can't.
You can't top it.
175
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,960
Absolutely.
It's a, it's a very, very
176
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,600
influential game and, and
hopefully our our podcast
177
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,000
reflects that.
This is a very influential
178
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,640
podcast and, and considering
that I, I, I thought when you
179
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,360
wanted to talk about, you know,
how some things have changed and
180
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,480
other things have stayed the
same.
181
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,160
I thought you wanted to talk
about my new voice.
182
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:49,160
I, I decided to go into a, that
Steve Urkel machine where he
183
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:54,560
becomes Stefan Urkel.
And so I decided I, I jumped in
184
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:58,920
there and I, and I became the
new suave version of the Tecmo
185
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,680
weave.
Now I, I as, as we talked before
186
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:06,440
the show, I got new, new
microphone and so it's a brand
187
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,240
new me.
Yeah, I mean, that's everyone's
188
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,560
listening in there and they're
they're noticing a little bit
189
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:14,040
different sound from the Tecmo
weave.
190
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,720
And yeah, definitely sounds
great, man.
191
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,640
Really, really good microphone
you got there going.
192
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,400
Well, thank you and we'll thank
zeal sound.
193
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,560
They can be the unofficial
sponsor of today's show.
194
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,160
Check them out on Amazon and if
they somehow hear this, send us
195
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,840
some more free microphones.
I, I like the quality of your
196
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,760
product, but let's let's jump
into the, the big arch of the
197
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,360
show here.
The, the big deal, the topic of
198
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,240
the show RB threes this year.
So when you're in RB3, you're
199
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,280
right on the border of being
meaningful.
200
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,360
Certainly the list I came up
with I I would certainly find
201
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:05,240
myself trading for these
players, drafting some of them
202
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,840
and depending on your team
makeup, these would potentially
203
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:17,400
be starters on a lot of people's
teams, depending on, you know,
204
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,640
once again, you know, the health
of the player and the depth of
205
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,480
your own team.
These are definitely, I would
206
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,640
say at very least by week
starters.
207
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,800
If you have some sort of super
squad on a bye week, I'm sure
208
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,920
this year you'll probably be
starting Rico Dowdell if you had
209
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,760
him and if he's not a starter he
should be at least a bye week
210
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:43,000
starter.
Absolutely, Yeah, Yeah.
211
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,520
I mean, if you want to kick it
off, that'd be great.
212
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:49,840
Start off here at #25.
And I, you know, making this
213
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,840
list IA lot of times the very
first player I pick, I feel the
214
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,560
most strongly about them.
And this player I don't.
215
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:01,440
And I think it's it's simply due
to the injury.
216
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,640
He wasn't injured.
Then I would feel different.
217
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,960
But when I think about players
that I would want to draft in a
218
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,840
startup or players I might want
to trade for, I know I hear you
219
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,280
talk about the two to three-year
window.
220
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,080
And I think that's fair.
Dynasty changes so quickly.
221
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,240
You can't really look beyond
that.
222
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,480
Yes, you can look at age, but
you've got, you know,
223
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,200
opportunity is king situation
can be extremely meaningful.
224
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,520
We've talked, we beat that topic
into the ground.
225
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,480
So I'm going to go with Zach
Charbonnet here at 25.
226
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,720
Yeah, he's, he's injured.
Looks like he's got an ACL
227
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,960
injury.
A lot of what I read about him
228
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,800
says they're not.
What the what did the coach say?
229
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,480
We think he'll come back.
I hope or I hope he'll come back
230
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:03,040
sometime during the season.
That doesn't make me feel really
231
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:09,560
great about Zach Charbonnet and
what he's going to do in 2026.
232
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,120
And then we got the rookie draft
to deal with and who did they
233
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,880
sign?
They signed Emmanuel Wilson to a
234
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,000
one year deal for two for $2.1
million.
235
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,040
OK, that is not big time starter
money.
236
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,800
I, I think all the people
thinking that it's going to be
237
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,720
George Helani and Emmanuel
Wilson that that seems unlikely.
238
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,800
I, I would imagine one of the
the bigger name running backs.
239
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,720
We just don't know who it is.
It's not going to be Jeremiah
240
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,640
Love, but will it be Jerian
Price would be Jonah Coleman?
241
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,520
Will it be Mike Washington?
One of those players will go to
242
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,480
Seattle and then I would
imagine, unless they just blow
243
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,000
the doors off that off the
opportunity they're given.
244
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:01,680
Once Charbonnet comes back the
the keys to the RB, one job will
245
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,560
be his and he was a Thorn and
Kenneth Walker's side so much
246
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,400
that he said I'm leaving, I'm
leaving and I'm not coming back.
247
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,840
And I guess I would do the same
if I was Kenneth Walker.
248
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,360
I'm just leaving.
You know, Charbonne had a
249
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,680
surprisingly good season last
year.
250
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,840
I guess if you're a big fan, it
wasn't a surprise.
251
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,520
He had 730 yards, 1212
touchdowns.
252
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,320
So he was vulturing a lot of
those Kenneth Walker touchdowns,
253
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,520
not this year, but the year
before.
254
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,960
He caught 42 passes.
So he's a capable pass catcher.
255
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,240
Last year he only had 20, but he
was splitting time almost 5050
256
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:48,400
with Walker.
So I think at 25, he just turned
257
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,680
25 in January of this year.
So he'll be 26 for next year.
258
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:58,920
You can do a lot worse in an RV
3 and hoping that his value at
259
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,280
this point, if it hasn't dipped
that far, knowing that he's not
260
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,000
going to play a whole lot this
year and he may not be his full
261
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,800
self.
I I think at 25, Kenneth
262
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:15,800
Walker's a fair bet.
Yeah, I mean 25 Kenneth Walker,
263
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,000
I don't think was the the man
you meant to say there at the
264
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,760
end, but Charbonnet at 25 I
think is I.
265
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,000
Apologize.
I don't think the new the new
266
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,640
microphone's going to be able to
edit that one out.
267
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,760
I'm sorry, but Char Charbonnet
at 25, it means like it's like
268
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,960
you said, the coach isn't really
giving a whole lot, a lot of
269
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,160
confidence to anyone right now
with that he might be back at
270
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,600
some point.
We all we always knew he we
271
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,400
missing some time just due to
the timing of the injury.
272
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,160
But if you just look at him as a
player, I mean, we really like
273
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,720
what we saw going into the post
season.
274
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,520
He had a 18 carry, 110 yard game
against Carolina and then and
275
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,280
that was Week 17.
That was not the postseason, but
276
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,040
that was Week 17 and then the
postseason.
277
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,200
He had a 17 carry, 74 yard game
before he went down with the
278
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,119
injury.
Such a tough injury to to see
279
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,440
happen there at that time.
We know we can do it around the
280
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,079
red zone and the goal line.
Yeah, he's he's he's he's a
281
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:15,319
really good player.
But like you mentioned, the the
282
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:18,400
draft is going to be big and you
would imagine they're going to
283
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,720
bring in some kind of
competition, somebody that could
284
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,599
come in right away and training
camp and, and carve out a role.
285
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,800
So Charbonnet not only has the
injury to come back from, but
286
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,480
also he may have competition to
try to come to try to compete
287
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,440
with right off the bat.
So what we'll see what happens
288
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,080
there.
But that that's, that's OK.
289
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,880
I'm fine with him there.
So #26 Very similar to
290
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,480
Charbonnay.
He's not injured, but it's very
291
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,800
similar in the number 2 back,
but also productive common gun
292
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,280
and #26 he he saw a lot of work.
He saw a lot, a lot of work this
293
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,360
year.
There was a point in the middle
294
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:55,440
of the season where he was
seeing 26 carries one game, 22
295
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,320
carries one game and putting up
some really good numbers.
296
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,680
Get a really good game against
Philadelphia week 1322 for 1:30
297
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,360
and that upset win and then 26
for 176 against Cincinnati.
298
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:09,800
We we know the kind of runner he
is, he's going to get work.
299
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,320
And in that offense, the way the
way that Hale William has that
300
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,680
awesome, awesome offense rolling
right now with the receivers,
301
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,680
they have the tight end.
It's a really strong offense and
302
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,560
this coaching staff is very
impressive.
303
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,040
I I like the outlook for him.
Obviously DeAndre Swift, Swift
304
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,200
is the main guy, but there's
plenty of room for them and and
305
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,560
a team that likes to run the
football and they like to use
306
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,640
their backs.
So yeah, I like him here at 26.
307
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,200
I had a much lower and he was a
player I was struggling to rank
308
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,920
and concerning you ranked him, I
guess based pretty much where
309
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:48,640
fantasy pros wants him to be
ranked.
310
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,920
And you know, I just did a start
up this week.
311
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,000
You're aware of that.
The listeners may not be Yeah,
312
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,200
he he went, I don't know, I'd
have to look where he went, but
313
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,080
he went a lot higher than I
would have taken him.
314
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,400
I have trouble shaking the draft
capital.
315
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:09,800
I, I do a seventh round pick
that OK, you, you beat out, you
316
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,360
know, I don't know who was even
in front of you, but you beat
317
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:15,440
them out.
You got a good opportunity and
318
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,960
you did well in a role where you
split time with DeAndre Swift.
319
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,920
Explain to me why I should not
be worried about the draft
320
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,720
capital, because teams teams
don't seem to forget that.
321
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,720
Yeah, I mean, I, I think you're
definitely, you know, have a
322
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,560
reason for concern.
Is is valid.
323
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,800
We've seen running backs drafted
late have good starts to their
324
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:44,080
career and then fizzle out.
But my main reason to not be
325
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,240
concerned is I just I really
think the fact that the offense
326
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:53,200
is how it is so productive.
Their coaching staff seems seems
327
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,160
to really want to rely on both
of these guys.
328
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,800
And I think sometimes at the end
of the day, draft stock, yes, it
329
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,880
does matter.
But when you put out the the
330
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,000
type of.
Performance that he put out this
331
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,000
season and and at 23 years old,
he still, you know, obviously in
332
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,200
that rookie contract, he he's
got room to grow.
333
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,560
There have been players that
drafted late in the NFL drafts
334
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,360
that have carved out tremendous
careers.
335
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,560
Yes, draft capital definitely
helps when your first, second,
336
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,720
third rounder day 2 pick up all
that matters and it definitely
337
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,400
helps.
But sometimes there's situations
338
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,000
where you're in great spots and
he isn't one of them and I think
339
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,360
there's no reason at all for
them to to worry about him.
340
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,920
Sometimes players just they come
into the league and they show
341
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,160
that their draft capital was was
not correct.
342
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,080
You convinced me.
I I have no more.
343
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,240
I have no more worries.
I mean, no.
344
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,480
The thing is, though, there's so
many players in this league who
345
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,440
have been drafted extremely high
or some players have been
346
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,680
drafted way late.
It really comes down to
347
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,160
situation and where they're at.
And his situation is a very
348
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,120
strong situation, a strong
franchise right now.
349
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:10,280
The Bears are really on the
upper trajectory right now.
350
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,360
They got a great core offense
and there's no reason for them
351
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:15,760
right now to change anything on
what they're doing.
352
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,120
I don't see what what they would
do right now to, to really
353
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:21,160
dramatically change their
running back core.
354
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,160
I, I like, I like him as a
player.
355
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:31,520
And yeah, I mean, at 27, at 26,
where we have him right here, I
356
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,000
don't know.
I, I just think that he can be a
357
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,840
guy that can still be productive
with that number 2 role and an
358
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,280
offense that runs a ton of
plays.
359
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,320
I think he's going to see, he's
going to see opportunities.
360
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,480
OK.
And the more I thought of it
361
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:50,640
too, he is from this regime, you
know, the Ben Johnson regime are
362
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,800
the ones that drafted him.
So they have no problem giving
363
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,400
him a shot for sure.
And you're right, you can't
364
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,400
really complain about the
results.
365
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,160
It would be foolish to go in
there and all of a sudden
366
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:10,160
relegate him to some change of
pace back versus 1A1B, which
367
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,360
appears if they're going to do
it how they did last year,
368
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:14,640
that's what we're going to see
more of.
369
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,000
But OK, so Kyle Menon guy at
2026.
370
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:23,720
That seems to be in line with
the general consensus 27.
371
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,200
I'm I'm picking a player that is
at least fantasy pros didn't
372
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:34,160
even have him as an RB3 and he's
a player that battles injury.
373
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:39,320
But when he's playing at least
last year and his situation is
374
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,000
pretty good.
JK Dobbins.
375
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,120
JK Dobbins is going to be 27
this year.
376
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:48,400
His birthday, it's middle of
December.
377
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,000
So he's 27 years old.
I guess you could say he's right
378
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,240
in the, you know, starting
moving off the peak of his
379
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,400
career.
But so much of his early career
380
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:03,680
was clouded with injury and then
recovery from injury.
381
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,240
And then he got the one year
prove it deal in Denver and he
382
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,880
proved it and they brought him
back and his only only person
383
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,800
that's blocking his way is the
all pro RJ Harvey.
384
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,600
And as that you'll see all the
shows they'll say this is the
385
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,440
same offensive line and you had
JK Dobbins and he did really,
386
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,000
really well.
You know, he had a couple games
387
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,440
over 100 yards website I'm
looking at doesn't break down
388
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,400
the yards per carry, but that
could be a a misleading staff.
389
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:44,000
He's not a big pass catcher, but
you know, he's an efficient
390
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,960
runner in a good situation and
he's not old in his competition,
391
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,800
at least at the moment.
Isn't isn't worrying you because
392
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,880
you would think if they wanted
to give the keys to RJ Harvey,
393
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,280
you know, I guess you, you
might, I mean, you could argue,
394
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,200
well, it only makes sense for
them to bring JK Dobbins back or
395
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,800
maybe he somehow gave them a
team friendly deal.
396
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,440
We don't know that there there
was no talk that JK Dobbins and
397
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,440
his contract was under market
value.
398
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,920
If I'm a player, I want to go
where I can succeed because then
399
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,800
I'll continue to make more
money.
400
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,680
You put me in a bad situation
where I'm getting hit behind the
401
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,000
line all the time.
I I may have a pretty short
402
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,680
career and my production is
going to look poor for that next
403
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:37,400
contract I want.
I've prioritized in a handful of
404
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:42,760
leagues that are not startups.
Acquiring JK Dobbins where I
405
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,400
could because he's almost a
forgotten.
406
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,240
Seems like he's a forgotten
player.
407
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,800
And people look at RJ Harvey as
the I guess more exciting,
408
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:57,360
younger but only barely by a
couple of years option.
409
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,280
And when I look at the other
people I have here as an RV 3,
410
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,760
JK Dammons is a player I can
feel good about having on my
411
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,360
team until he gets injured
again.
412
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,040
Yeah, I mean, obviously he's,
you know, obviously ranked in
413
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,120
this situation a lot higher than
where you'll see him.
414
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,480
I don't know if I would have him
at this spot, but I don't have a
415
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,640
problem with him being RB three,
maybe a little bit lower in
416
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,560
these rankings, but I don't have
a problem with him being in this
417
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,960
tier because when he is on the
field and obviously that's the
418
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,080
main thing, he misses quite a
few games.
419
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,680
You know, we we know that, but
when he is on the field there is
420
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,760
not many there.
There just aren't many
421
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,880
productive running backs in the
league.
422
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,120
There aren't many running backs
as productive as JK Dobbins.
423
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:45,400
As far as you know, yards per
carry efficiency.
424
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:49,120
I mean you look at every year of
his career when he has gotten a
425
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:52,520
decent amount of workload, the
six yards of carry is rookie
426
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,080
year.
And then you know when you look
427
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,240
at 2024, he had 4.6 on 195
carries.
428
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,480
In the last year before he went
down, he was averaging 5 yards
429
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,120
of carry.
So we know the type of runner he
430
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:03,640
is.
He's a, he's a, he's a strong
431
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,080
runner and in that offense, a
really good team, similar to
432
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,080
Monongah, really good, solid
foundation with a good
433
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,000
quarterback.
I think obviously they brought
434
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,920
him back for a reason.
They they believe he is a very
435
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,720
important part to this team
player that they want to, you
436
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,280
know, bring back to try to get
back to that AFC title game,
437
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,320
trying to get back to the Super
Bowl opportunity here.
438
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,160
They have a good team.
They have a good chance to to
439
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,600
make another run.
Yeah.
440
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,200
I think when you have a guy like
JK Dobbins and you can give him
441
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,560
that workload and you could
share it with RJ Harvey and and
442
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,960
mix it up, mix and match and use
RJ Harvey in creative ways.
443
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,040
It's very exciting the
opportunity that those two have
444
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,400
here.
We only have them three spots of
445
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,480
partner rankings with RJ Harvey
at 24.
446
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,560
So yeah, I don't, I don't have
any issue here with Dobbins
447
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,360
here.
It's not where I would put him,
448
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:52,920
but I think he still is worthy
of being an RV 3 for sure.
449
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:59,240
So #28 another player, you know,
it seems like so far in the
450
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,760
first three, these are players
who obviously one year we're
451
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,800
ranking RB threes.
Most most likely they're going
452
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,400
to be players that are sharing
the work.
453
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,160
You're not going to have too
many RB3 players who are the
454
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,520
main guy.
You know, most of them are
455
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,840
sharing the work.
But these are more higher end
456
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,680
type, either handcuffs or solo
contributors or they can make,
457
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,000
they can make it happen on their
own.
458
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,040
You don't need to have the the
starter to to be able to get
459
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,840
benefits from this type of
player.
460
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,240
So Blake Warm is who I have here
at 28 and very similar to the
461
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,360
other guys we talked about, just
another productive runner, just
462
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,400
a guy who you can feed the ball
and he's going to get you.
463
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,600
He's just going to continue to
move the chains, move the
464
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,440
chains.
He had 145 carries for 7:46, so
465
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,160
5 and 5.1 yards per carry in his
rookie year.
466
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,960
He had six touch sounds a very
good rookie year, a very good
467
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,400
rookie year and a very good
offense.
468
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,240
So the, the common theme so far
with what we've seen the first
469
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,120
four players is every single
player right now is in a really
470
00:27:57,120 --> 00:27:58,480
good offense, really good
situation.
471
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:00,480
So there's going to be
opportunities for them.
472
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,920
There's going to be
opportunities, especially when
473
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,120
they are getting the amount of
work they have been.
474
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,160
So I like Blake Quorum here at
#28 Carrie Rollins, Blake
475
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,480
Quorum.
I formed a tremendous duo and
476
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,840
this offense is going to
continue to thrive with what
477
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,800
Matthew Stafford just playing at
an extremely high level.
478
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,840
So, and you look at Blake
Cormoran, if he has a chance to
479
00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:22,760
to be the main guy at any
moment, he could be a top 12
480
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,680
runner, he could be a top 12
running back in this offense.
481
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,800
So you also have to keep that in
mind, obviously a priority
482
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,040
handcuff for Kyrie Williams, but
also someone that you could
483
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:37,960
start on his own.
Yeah, I, I, excuse me, I, I have
484
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,400
him exactly at, at 28.
So this is the first player
485
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,400
we've we've agreed on 100% with
the spot.
486
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,960
I do think though, when we talk
about him being a handcuff, yes,
487
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:54,880
he is a handcuff technically to
Kyron Williams, but he's also,
488
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,760
when I think of handcuffs, I
like to get like, OK, you get
489
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,000
the main guy and then I get the
handcuff for very cheap.
490
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,400
You're not going to be able to
do that with Blake Quorum right
491
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,880
now, at least if you think
you're going to get him cheap.
492
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,240
I don't think that's going to
happen because people are seeing
493
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,800
as you and I have talked about
that he has stand alone value.
494
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,360
And when you start to talk about
I don't know what, what price
495
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,200
you're going to pay for a guy
like Blake Gorham, you know, you
496
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:33,240
might pay a high 27 seconds.
I'm not even going to talk about
497
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,600
the 26th class because it's all,
it's all wonky.
498
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,360
The values are all weird outside
of maybe the top 6.
499
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,720
So we're going to look at things
in a realm of 27 draft picks.
500
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,120
I don't think there's a lot of
folks that would pay a late 1st
501
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,840
for Blake Quorum.
Maybe a late 1st in this year's
502
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,440
draft, possibly.
But even as a Kyron Williams
503
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,720
owner, do you want to be
spending that much money on a
504
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,640
guy that, yeah, he may vulture
some touches?
505
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,080
You know, if Kyron Williams
leaves, then I guess you do have
506
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,840
the heir apparent to the job.
I don't know.
507
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,800
I'm happy to have Blake Corum
where I do in a few leagues.
508
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,840
It's just he's a hard player, I
would think, to go out and buy
509
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,600
if you're just looking to buy
Kyron Will or excuse me, by
510
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:31,720
Blake Quorum because the price
isn't going to necessarily match
511
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,240
up with the value on paper.
And if you have Kyron Williams,
512
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,640
you probably should be somewhat
worried about Blake Quorum.
513
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,600
But there's not a whole lot that
having both is going to do for
514
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,360
you because you aren't going to
start both of them any given
515
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,400
week.
But that's just my commentary on
516
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:54,120
Blake Quorum.
I do have him here at 28, at 29
517
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,080
as a player.
I mentioned earlier he had some
518
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:04,640
explosive games last year, a
couple, and he's shown he can be
519
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:09,960
a starter in the NFL and he's
going into a situation where
520
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,720
it's more of a 1A1B.
And it's a question to the
521
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,680
listener, it's a question to the
dynasty owner.
522
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,560
Which one do you think he is?
Is he A1A, is he A1B?
523
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:31,880
But Rico Dowdle, I'm liking him
here at #29 on our rankings,
524
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,480
he's going to be paired up with
Jalen Warren.
525
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:43,240
And unless we view Caleb Johnson
as a threat, and I don't think a
526
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:48,560
lot of people do, but I still
just like a handful of dynasty,
527
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,360
dynasty hosts and shows that I
watch.
528
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,320
They say I refuse.
I refuse to believe Caleb
529
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,760
Johnson just led the Big 10 and
rushing and he was this massive
530
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,400
part of the offense.
And now he's nothing.
531
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,080
You know, he, he fumble the
kickoff and he he ran the ball
532
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,200
25 times in the NFL.
He didn't commit any crimes.
533
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,000
He's he's not an embarrassment
to the organization.
534
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,880
He he didn't do something that
was super awful and now he's
535
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,760
just trash.
I refuse to believe that that's
536
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,800
going to happen.
But we, I guess we've seen it
537
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,200
happen.
You know, third round running
538
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,600
backs don't always pan out.
I just thought he had a pretty
539
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:36,320
good draft profile, but I guess
the Steelers thought
540
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,640
differently.
They they were not Rico Dowdell
541
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,600
in and they're saying we don't
even want to bother with you as
542
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:46,680
in our RV too.
But I I would like Caleb Johnson
543
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,880
as maybe a handcuff.
If you have Jalen Warren, if you
544
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,040
have Rico Dowdell, go get Caleb
Johnson.
545
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,720
Because if one of them gets
hurt, then the door opens for
546
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,760
Caleb Johnson to get some
carries.
547
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,960
And if he's got anything to give
with a coaching staff that
548
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,400
doesn't have something personal
against him, you know, maybe we
549
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,960
start to see the reason he was
drafted so highly.
550
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,400
But Rico Dowdell, you know, he
had some starter time in Dallas.
551
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,760
I'm just looking for a team here
that has him to bring up some of
552
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,960
his stats.
I know he had a couple games
553
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,600
last year where he rushed for
like 200 yards.
554
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,040
You just don't see that that's
that's a special type of runner.
555
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,680
I know from like watching him
play, he he's a hard runner.
556
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,520
He he's kind of like an Isaiah
Pacheco that he just he runs
557
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:41,440
hard and OK, I guess he had one
game at two O 6 and one game at
558
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,560
183.
I take it back, OK, not 2200
559
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:51,560
yard games, 1200 yard game, but
yeah, I mean, when I look at
560
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,200
them, who do you think is going
to be the the 1A Jalen Warren or
561
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,680
is it Rico Dowdell?
I mean, to me it's it's clearly
562
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,120
Rico Dowdell.
Yeah, I mean, they brought him
563
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,280
in.
They brought him in for a
564
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,000
reason.
He he's had back-to-back years
565
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,120
over 1000 yards in two different
situations, two different teams
566
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:13,679
in Dallas, 2024, he had 1079 and
then last year, obviously 1076
567
00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:16,280
are pretty similar numbers.
I mean, the carriers are right
568
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,120
there, basically the same amount
of carries, touchdowns, six last
569
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,040
year, like you said, very hard
runner, very fun player to
570
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,080
watch.
And I think I'll just go right
571
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,360
into #30 it's going to be Jalen
Ward.
572
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,480
That's why I have it at #30 So I
think they're going to be like
573
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,120
you mentioned earlier, 1A1 BI
think that's what we're going to
574
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,679
see.
It'll be very interesting to see
575
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,960
how that workload divvies up and
and and who's going to be more
576
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,320
of the pants catcher.
And I think when you look at
577
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,280
Jalen Warren, he can be that
kind of player.
578
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,920
He had 61 catches in 2023.
Last year he had 40.
579
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,000
So hasn't the last couple season
that's that's gone down, his
580
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,120
targets have gone way down.
But I think maybe with their two
581
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,840
very similar type players that
can take that can carry the
582
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,760
load, they can carry the load.
But I think if you have Dowdle
583
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,800
carry the load with the majority
of the carries and then Jalen
584
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,000
Warren be used, not not exactly
the kind of game while was, but
585
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,640
in a similar way where he he's
still getting his carry, still
586
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,480
get his work, but also get a
little more reception.
587
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,120
So it's going to be interesting
to see how it works.
588
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,920
I don't feel, I don't feel
strongly either way about which
589
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,240
one's going to be the top guy.
I think that will probably lead
590
00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:25,440
in carries.
But as far as production, I
591
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,240
think Warren can make it up in
reception.
592
00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:29,680
So it'll be interesting.
But I have Jalen Warren at 30.
593
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,120
I think they're back-to-back.
I think you're going to see that
594
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,600
very often.
Yeah, I I would agree.
595
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,520
It's a it's hard to pick who's
going to be the main guy and
596
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,800
who's going to get you more
dynasty value.
597
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,560
Is it going to be Jalen Warren
with more of the pass catching
598
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,080
role?
And also what's the Pittsburgh
599
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:51,560
Steelers offense going to look
like under Mike McCarthy and
600
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,360
most likely Aaron Rodgers?
I don't think you bring in Mike
601
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,320
McCarthy when you are kind of
wanting to bring Aaron Rodgers
602
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:03,760
back just just because you
decided to in a vacuum hire Mike
603
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,840
McCarthy.
I think there was a reason for
604
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,800
that, that, you know, people
like to, for whatever reason,
605
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,640
cater to Aaron Rodgers and this
was an attempt to lure him back.
606
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:17,640
So Jalen Warren, he could be
slightly better.
607
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,600
Blake Gorham could be except
Blake Gorham, Rico Dowdo.
608
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,960
I'm looking on my list here.
Rico Dowdo.
609
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,720
He he certainly could be the the
1A, but when it comes to
610
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:31,720
drafting them, I I have no
problem with him there at 30.
611
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,640
I think that's fair.
So we're at 31.
612
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,680
Is that correct?
Yes, that is correct.
613
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,640
All right, well, you mentioned
the guy that I'm going to put
614
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,720
here at 31 and I'm shocked if
you would have asked me this
615
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:52,200
last year, it would he be the an
RB3 on this list, You know, and
616
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,000
and you know him as a he's a
former Eagle.
617
00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:02,080
He's a former Pittsburgh Steeler
Kenneth Gainwell talk about it.
618
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,280
If you had Kenneth Gainwell,
granted, it's a you're not
619
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,160
making a ton of money if you had
them and now you have them and
620
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,080
you, you trade them off.
But as far as a percentage rise
621
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,960
from a player, you just could
have picked off the waiver wire
622
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,760
for free in a lot of leagues, I
guess, depending on the depth of
623
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:23,160
your league.
Great return on investment for
624
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,600
Kenneth Gainwell.
Terrific pass catcher.
625
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,400
He he looked like the superior
back at times last year in
626
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,480
comparison to Jalen Warren.
I'm going to bring up some of
627
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,320
his stats here and we'll talk a
little bit about Jalen Warren.
628
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,920
Excuse me, not Jalen Warren kind
of gain.
629
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:48,080
Well, there we go.
We had 500 yards last year.
630
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:53,560
That's shocking. 500 yards,
roughly 5 yards of carry over 4
631
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,640
yards of carry, 4 touchdowns, 65
receptions.
632
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:02,680
My Lord, getting him for cheap
in APPR league he I mean
633
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,600
combined he almost had 1000
total yards.
634
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:11,680
It's like a Trayvon Henderson
cheap poor man's Trayvon
635
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:17,520
Henderson and half the price.
I don't know, but that's I like
636
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:22,920
Kenneth Gainwell here at 31.
And also with not having a ton
637
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,360
of faith in Bucky Irving.
I've seen people say, well, Sean
638
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,560
Tuck.
Yeah, the what?
639
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,160
It was a stat I heard the other
day.
640
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,960
How many carries did Bucky
Irving get inside the the 10
641
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,040
yard line or 15 yard line?
Last year?
642
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,240
It was 0.
It it was it wasn't a good
643
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:42,160
situation.
And that a lot of those are
644
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,720
vultured.
Sean Tucker.
645
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,840
And now you're bringing in a guy
like Kenneth Gainwell, not that
646
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,200
he's a great goal line back, but
I guess it shows more
647
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,680
uncertainty about the position
in Tampa Bay.
648
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,200
And, and who knows?
It's the NFL.
649
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,640
They'll probably go draft or
running back Day 2 or something.
650
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,600
Who knows?
But what do you think about
651
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,800
Kenneth Gainwell at 31?
Yeah, I actually have no issue
652
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,200
with that.
He's a guy you can get pretty
653
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,760
late in the draft.
I've seen that many times so far
654
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,240
in the startups just, you know,
looking at startups and where
655
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:19,280
they, where we've been seeing
him go, you can get it pretty
656
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,800
late.
That's not a bad value for a guy
657
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,400
who you could plug into your
flex.
658
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,800
I'm, I would imagine they're
going to use him similar, not
659
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,960
probably not the same exact way
that Steelers did because he was
660
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,200
pretty much their wide receiver
won last year at times.
661
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,120
So I, I obviously we're not
going to see that kind of
662
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,560
workload as far as receptions,
but I think he's going to still
663
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,760
be in that role.
I mean, there's, there's a,
664
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,400
there's definitely a good
opportunity.
665
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,800
I mean, they signed up for two
year, $14 million contract.
666
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,240
That wasn't that.
When you see that type of
667
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:50,720
contract, when a team already
has a starter like Bucky Irving,
668
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:52,080
you know, they're bringing him
in.
669
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,240
You know, they're bringing Kenny
Gamewell in to do some work.
670
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:55,920
He's going to, he's going to
get, he's going to get his
671
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,560
opportunities.
And if, like I said, he's a,
672
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:03,080
he's a really good guy to to
stash on your bench and a guy
673
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,800
who you can plug in, you know,
here and there, plug once in a
674
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,280
while, put them in your flex,
you know, get some PPR
675
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,080
opportunities there.
No, I do like Kenny Gamewell
676
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,480
there at 31.
I know they're going to be some
677
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,920
sites that don't have them
anywhere near there, but I think
678
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,600
Kenny Gainwell in this
opportunity and then a pretty
679
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,680
decent offense, I think you're
going to see him do well.
680
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,000
So now we're going to go to #32
and I'm telling you, man, these
681
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,000
rankings are getting tough.
They really are, because a lot
682
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,680
of these guys now, they're free
agents going to new teams and we
683
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,080
don't know exactly how they're
going to be used.
684
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,080
Tyler Ijir, who I have at 32, is
another one of those players
685
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,160
where he's going into a
situation, it's not the best
686
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,880
offense.
This is very, very different
687
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,520
than Charbonnay Manung, Guy
Dobbins, very different.
688
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,200
This is not a good offense he's
going into.
689
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,480
Yes, they're, they put up
numbers last year, but that's
690
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,360
not the way they they want to
play football.
691
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,800
They don't want to have to be
behind every single game aired
692
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,760
out 50 * a game.
You know, it's great for Marvin
693
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,480
Harrison and Michael Wilson,
fancy owners.
694
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,360
That's amazing.
And and McBride, obviously, but
695
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,880
I would imagine they're going to
try to get more more, get some
696
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,520
more work on the ground here
with Tyler Algier and James
697
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:11,960
Conner.
Obviously, we'll see what
698
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,760
happens with Benson.
And we talked about it before.
699
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,520
We believe Benson may be the odd
man out just because this
700
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,640
contract that Algier got and how
Connor has been very productive
701
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,360
every single time he's out there
on the field.
702
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,560
He's very productive running
back.
703
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,680
So we'll see how he looks, you
know, coming here training camp.
704
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,560
But Tyler Algier a very, very,
you know, he he's he's like a
705
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:32,560
char.
He's char, but he's like
706
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,000
Charbonnet.
I mean, not not maybe not the
707
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,800
same exact player as far as
receptions and everything.
708
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,040
Algiers not going to catch the
ball too much, but he's a guy
709
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,280
you can give the ball at the
goal line.
710
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,760
You know what he's going to do.
You know how the you know how
711
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,680
the Falcons use them.
Obviously it was probably a
712
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,800
thorn in the side for BJ
Robinson owners at times, but
713
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,960
very good runner, very strong
runner and a guy who is they're
714
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,400
going to use them in in Arizona.
We just don't know exactly how
715
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,320
and we don't know how the work
loads going to be.
716
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,240
So I think if you do have him
though, on your team, that is a
717
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:07,280
guy that you're going to have an
opportunity to start here and
718
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,640
there.
I don't see him being a guy
719
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,440
that's going to take over the
backfield fully unless there's
720
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,840
an injury behind them.
But I think the opportunity is
721
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,920
going to be there for him and
it's going to be exciting to see
722
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,960
what happens.
So who's the starter then?
723
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,800
That's a great question.
Number one, I would man that
724
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,160
that's a great question.
I I think I would say they're
725
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,280
going to get Connor.
He will be the starter just
726
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,040
because you know of how I think
the team loves him.
727
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,960
Obviously they love him,
Coaches, staff loves him.
728
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,280
I think he'll be the starter,
but it doesn't.
729
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,320
You know how there's nominal
starters like there's a there's
730
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,200
a team that says this is the
starter, but we know who's
731
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,560
getting more work.
I think Connor will be the
732
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:55,000
starter, but I think Algier will
be a guy who's going to get as
733
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,440
much work as Connor or maybe
even more.
734
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,720
So let's see what happens.
Everybody think Connor will be
735
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:00,800
Week 1.
He'll be the starter.
736
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:01,880
That's that would be what I'd
say.
737
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,720
OK, well, I'm going to say it
and I've said it before, I'm
738
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:12,320
going to talk it into existence.
I, I'm saying Algier was brought
739
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,160
in as the Conor replacement, not
the Trey Benson.
740
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:21,040
And I, I still do think that
they'll be a, you know, the one
741
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:27,520
A1B50, you know, 505040605545,
something like that.
742
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:30,080
But it's going to be James
Conner is the odd man out.
743
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:36,160
It just doesn't serve a
rebuilding organization to be
744
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,920
given a guy who, yeah, he gave
you some great years, but that's
745
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,720
yesterday's news.
And this is a business, this is
746
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:47,520
the NFL, and you want to see
what you have in Trey Benson,
747
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,880
who looked really good.
He looked really good until he
748
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,280
didn't play the rest of the
year.
749
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,240
And you brought in Tyler Algier.
Just kind of a holdover.
750
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,720
Steady Eddie but can do the
James Conner role.
751
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,640
And so I'm going to talk it into
existence that Trey Benson's
752
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,800
role hasn't changed.
He's the 1B and it's either it's
753
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,760
going to be James Conner, a
Tyler Algier on the outside.
754
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,360
And I would imagine it's not the
not the younger guy who could
755
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,440
just got brought in with the
contract.
756
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,640
It's the old guy who, yeah, they
resigned him, but he's coming
757
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,640
off an injury.
It only makes sense for him to.
758
00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:30,280
You know, the one thing we can
hope is that it's not a three
759
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,720
headed monster because a three
headed monster is is not a
760
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:36,280
monster.
It just isn't any.
761
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,640
They should come up with another
name for that.
762
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,840
Like, you know, I don't know
what we could call it, but it's
763
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,440
definitely not a monster.
It's nothing to be afraid of
764
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,680
when the team uses three
different running backs.
765
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,000
Just means they don't have
anybody good enough to to to be
766
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:55,200
the main guy.
So maybe that's a nice segue
767
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:59,120
here into #33 it's a question of
who's good enough to be the main
768
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:04,040
guy in Carolina.
You said earlier that RB 3 is
769
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,640
not the main guy, right?
He's not going to be the RB one
770
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,600
on the team.
But isn't that what Shuba
771
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,800
Hubbard is?
He's the main guy on the team.
772
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,720
And I mean, who's who's the
backup to Chuba Hubbard at this
773
00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:19,520
point?
Jonathan Brooks, right?
774
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,200
I mean, am I, am I missing
somebody?
775
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,880
You know, sometimes things do
slip my mind.
776
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:30,440
But if Chuba Hubbard is number
one, get him at #33 maybe as a
777
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,520
year like he did in 2024, he
turns back the clock.
778
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,800
Last year was a he was
definitely a bust.
779
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,480
If you went out and you said,
I'm going to get the cheap RV
780
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,200
one in Carolina and then he
gives you 500 yards and a
781
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:49,680
touchdown on the ground and
three through the air and 216
782
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,280
yards.
Yeah, that's a very
783
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:56,600
disappointing season.
But you know, I guess 2023
784
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,800
wasn't too bad.
I'll take that back.
785
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,120
But 2024 is where true.
But Hubbard really shined.
786
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,840
So once again, these are the
dynasty startup rankings right
787
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,760
now.
He's still young enough, he only
788
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:16,280
turns 27 and he's shown he can
carry the load unless Carolina
789
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,560
goes out and sign someone or
we're expecting Jonathan Brooks
790
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,560
cuz that's a popular stash,
right?
791
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,080
Everybody that didn't want
Jonathan Brooks for the last
792
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,280
couple of years, now they're
coming around to wanting him.
793
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,600
Seeing this is a backfield that
can easily be overtaken by
794
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:38,760
somebody, even a guy that's what
it tore is a ACL twice in the in
795
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:43,480
the same in the same leg.
I don't know.
796
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,680
I mean I don't feel great about
putting him here at #33 but I
797
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,000
don't feel like it makes sense
to have the current day started
798
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,200
here on the 13th of April.
The Carolinas starting running
799
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,760
back who's not old and has shown
production in the past and only
800
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,840
has a guy that's coming off A2
brutal injuries as your main
801
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:07,120
competition.
By the end of the year I would
802
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,800
imagine Carolina may have
somebody else, but then again I
803
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,000
could be wrong.
People have been betting against
804
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:16,960
Chuba Hubbard pretty much since
he came to the NFL, and if you
805
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,200
went against the grain in 2023,
it started to pay off.
806
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:23,480
Yeah.
No, that's good call out.
807
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,120
Definitely good call out there.
Chuba Hubbard.
808
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,680
Yeah, with Rico Dowell obviously
moving on to Pittsburgh, I think
809
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,160
that's going to obviously slot
Chuba Hubba right back where?
810
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,240
Right back where he was a couple
years ago.
811
00:47:35,240 --> 00:47:38,200
And then obviously the contract
he got, he's he's clearly going
812
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,120
to be there and he's going to be
a guy they're going to use.
813
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,120
I think it's just the efficiency
2 of the last three years at 3.8
814
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,800
yards of carry.
I think that's going to be,
815
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:51,040
that's probably the situation
here where you know, Jonathan
816
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,920
Brooks, we know what everyone's
been talking about him, he's
817
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,320
been hyped up.
But Shuba Hubbard, obviously,
818
00:47:56,160 --> 00:48:00,360
yeah, you know, when you look at
him and his body of work, he
819
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:01,960
he's a he's a productive running
back.
820
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,560
I just think I don't know if
they're going to be able to
821
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,320
fully commit to him, you know,
long term, two to three years,
822
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,560
three years be beyond this.
I don't think you can.
823
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:11,800
You know, they're going to
they're going to bring
824
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,840
competition.
I don't think, I don't think the
825
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,640
backfield right now as it is, is
what they're what they're going
826
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,760
to enter training camp with.
I believe they will draft
827
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:19,800
someone.
I think they're going to do
828
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,640
something in that not maybe not
to overtake you, but I'll be
829
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,240
right away.
But I think they have to have
830
00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:27,520
that, especially when they lost
out or they have to have
831
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,000
something to be able to replace
Hubbard if if something goes
832
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,800
wrong or Brooks is not able to,
you know, to become the player
833
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,920
that people think he could be.
You want you want Bryce Young to
834
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,760
have.
You want him to have more
835
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,280
support, you know, all around,
you know, you got Teddaroa
836
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:42,680
McMillan.
Yeah.
837
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:45,760
You just don't have a whole lot
else as far as, you know, help
838
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,560
for Bryce Young.
So they're hopefully true.
839
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,400
But Hubbard can stay healthy out
there on the field.
840
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:54,720
But for for #33 back end of the
RB threes, like you said, you
841
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:57,160
mentioned already, he he's a
starter on his team.
842
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,080
And that's true.
You know, I, I didn't really
843
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,400
think there was many of them
available, but there is one
844
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,080
right here.
And Truba Hubbard is a guy who I
845
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,760
think not a lot of people are
talking about, not a lot of
846
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,640
people are thinking about, But
the opportunity is there.
847
00:49:09,720 --> 00:49:12,400
And he's going to have an
opportunity to be able to put up
848
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,560
some pretty good numbers this
year if he if he concedes to
849
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:19,600
stay on the field healthy as I.
Said I, I'm sorry, I, I didn't
850
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,600
feel good about it.
I, I don't feel good about that.
851
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,800
But he had to go somewhere.
Yeah.
852
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,920
No, no, I agree.
I like when I think about it, I
853
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,280
I don't feel great about it
either because there's a chance
854
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,080
as as I mentioned earlier,
there's a chance that that
855
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:33,840
backfield could look different
in a couple months.
856
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,960
You know, there is that chance
and I know the Panthers, they
857
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,600
need like, like I was saying a
little bit ago, they need
858
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,280
something to to help this
offense out completely.
859
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,800
And we'll see if that's going to
be via the draft or if it's
860
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,320
going to be, you know, some
other way they're going to
861
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,640
figure out to get this offense
better.
862
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,600
But yeah, I don't feel amazing
about it.
863
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,400
But he is a starter on his team
right now as we stand here in
864
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,040
April.
So I don't have any issue with
865
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:04,680
him being in these rankings. 34
is another player as well who is
866
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,920
a starter on his team.
He signed with a new team here
867
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:08,520
in the offseason.
David Montgomery.
868
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,240
We know what, what he can do
when he gets work.
869
00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:14,920
He he's he's obviously he's
getting older.
870
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,600
We know that already.
But Dave Montgomery now is going
871
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,000
to enter an opportunity here in
Houston where he's going to have
872
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,920
a chance to to get a lot of work
because there's not a whole lot
873
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,440
behind him.
I know what he marks is a guy
874
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,080
that, you know, a lot of people
were excited about last year.
875
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,400
At times.
He just has to he has to stay on
876
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:32,480
the field.
I mean, I don't think I don't
877
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,440
think what he marks is phased
out.
878
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,240
He's going to he's still going
to be part of the offense.
879
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,800
But David Montgomery is a guy
who can handle the workload.
880
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,840
He did it in Chicago and he he
had some stretches there in
881
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,360
Detroit where he was.
You know, obviously with Jamir
882
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:47,800
Gibbs, you're not going to,
you're not going to lead the
883
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,360
backfield.
But when you have 13 touchdown a
884
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,160
year, a 12 touchdown a year and
then an 8, those are the last
885
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,600
three seasons for him.
You know, he's going to be able
886
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,440
to be productive in that way.
But I think Dave Montgomery is
887
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,520
now in a good opportunity.
The offense is not.
888
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:03,920
Obviously the offense is not
great.
889
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,560
It's not a great offense.
But when you're looking at #34
890
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,680
in RV rankings, you just need
opportunity.
891
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,200
And opportunity is absolutely
going to be there for Dave
892
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,920
Montgomery.
I love it.
893
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:16,960
I love it.
I had him a little bit higher,
894
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,520
but the more we went through
this list, he had to be moved
895
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,880
down somewhat.
But he's definitely, I mean,
896
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,640
he's shown he can handle the
load.
897
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,440
He's a good pass catcher, he's a
good runner.
898
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,480
He's he's been productive.
The situation, it isn't
899
00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:34,920
completely awful.
I mean, I guess we have to hope
900
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:40,040
that Houston gets their
offensive line fixed because it
901
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,200
didn't work out so well for CJ
Stroud last year.
902
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,640
So I can only imagine that's the
the run blocking is isn't going
903
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,280
to magically improve a whole
lot.
904
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,480
But David Montgomery at he'll be
29 to start the year.
905
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,240
He definitely feels like one of
these guys that all the sudden,
906
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:02,160
you know, fears down the line
he's going to be 32 and a guy
907
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,440
you could get pretty cheap that
everyone kind of feels is washed
908
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,320
up.
He's just the holdover running
909
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:08,800
back.
Well, if you're playing in a two
910
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,040
to three-year window, why don't
you want to have David
911
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:18,200
Montgomery on the team on on
your team, especially when like
912
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:19,720
this is going to be the lead
back.
913
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:23,400
I'm not expecting Joe Mixon to
to just stroll in and to take
914
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:24,440
the job.
Right.
915
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,440
I don't know how much you've
been following Joe Mixon.
916
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,280
I really haven't.
I mean, I don't even know if
917
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:34,480
he's is he completely off of the
the Texans?
918
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:38,640
Is he still on the team?
Is he still rehabbing?
919
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,080
What happened?
I guess that's, that's a
920
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:46,200
question for for somebody else.
That's a question for Google or
921
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:51,600
ChatGPT.
But no, I, I, I definitely like
922
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,160
him here.
What do we have him here at 34?
923
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,040
You said?
I think that's very fair.
924
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:01,240
Good player, good situation
other than the the run blocking,
925
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,480
but good price you can get him
at too.
926
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,840
He's he's not a guy that has the
arrow pointing completely up.
927
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,320
People aren't excited about him,
but he he'll he'll definitely
928
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:13,680
be.
You know something you're not
929
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,200
going to mind as a bye week
starter?
930
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,480
No, absolutely.
Yeah, I, I think, yeah, I just
931
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,880
think when you have guys like
that that, you know, are going
932
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,640
to get the work and, and, you
know, are going into the
933
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,400
opportunity when, you know, when
a running back signs that type
934
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,760
of contract to go somewhere,
they have that insulation
935
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,680
already, you know, built in.
They're going to they're going
936
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,320
to be a part of that team.
Obviously you're bringing them
937
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,000
in for a reason.
And I think that's going to be a
938
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,920
good opportunity for him.
So it'll be fun to see it.
939
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,160
You know, obviously it was a
starter early in his career with
940
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,600
Chicago, so now he's got a
chance here later in his career.
941
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:52,040
Absolutely.
Well, moving into #35 and I, I
942
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,400
have, I actually have two
players in this spot.
943
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,440
It it's one that I can't call it
out.
944
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,720
I don't know, I, I don't follow
college football enough.
945
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,600
I'm going to wait.
I'm going to wait for the rookie
946
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,760
draft to happen in a couple of
weeks.
947
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:12,000
But in this spot right here, you
know, and depending on how good
948
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,800
the landing spot is, it's going
to be, it's got to be someone
949
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:20,120
like Jadarian Price or Jonah
Coleman that they're going to
950
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,680
land somewhere good.
It's not just Jeremiah Love
951
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,080
that's going to land in a good
spot.
952
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:29,040
Some running back, needy team,
maybe the Panthers if they all
953
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,080
the sudden get Jadarian Price.
Well, how do you feel about
954
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:36,760
Shuba Hubbard or Jonah Coleman
goes to Seattle?
955
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,840
Well, all of a sudden then I,
you know, maybe you start to
956
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,960
say, well, I might rather have
Jonah Coleman than Kenneth
957
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:48,080
Gainwell.
So from what we know today,
958
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,800
which we don't know where
they're landing, and we hear
959
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:57,240
that this class outside the top
players is, isn't that great for
960
00:54:57,240 --> 00:54:59,680
tentative rankings at this point
in time.
961
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,000
If you're wanting to play it
safe, I'm thinking you, you grab
962
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:08,760
one of these, you know, the RB2
or RB3 of this class or, and,
963
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:10,160
and I could be totally wrong
with that.
964
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,880
Maybe it's Mike Washington,
maybe he's the RB2.
965
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,720
I just, I don't know.
It's the NFL.
966
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:16,800
They owe it.
So it makes it exciting and
967
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,360
surprising.
But for the sake of our draft,
968
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,440
I'll go 35.
I'm giving it a combo just like
969
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:28,240
that one MVP award.
It was that Steve McNair that he
970
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:30,840
he won the MVP.
It was a it was him.
971
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,560
And I'm trying to think it was
like a Co MVP award.
972
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:38,840
We'll have to look that one up.
I'm giving this number 35 spot
973
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,240
here to Jadarian Price and Jonah
Coleman.
974
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,280
Well, I'm going to have to, I'm
going to have to push back on
975
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,800
that a little bit because I'm
going to need one of them for
976
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:50,800
number 36.
So you got to pick one of those
977
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,080
guys.
You pick which one you want
978
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,360
because one of them are going to
be my 36.
979
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,400
All right then.
I think that sounds fair.
980
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,800
No no Co no Co MVPS right here
today.
981
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:06,360
No Co MVPS Oh no OK, well I'll
go with Jadarian price.
982
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:10,400
I, I, you know that that's half
of the point of this show is
983
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:16,800
that we consume a lot of dynasty
media and my hope of this show
984
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,440
is you just have to listen to 1
show.
985
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,840
Just list only listen to this
show and you're getting the very
986
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,880
best of the best of all that's
out there.
987
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:30,640
We chew it up, we spit it out.
And I, I see Jadarian Price
988
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:36,800
consistently ranked as the RB2
of the class and some saying
989
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,160
it's really just that because he
was behind Jeremiah Love.
990
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:44,200
That's really all that was
holding him back that he he
991
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,680
could have went elsewhere.
He could have been a starter, I
992
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,160
want to say in the startup I
and, and that's something we'll
993
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,560
we'll cover next week.
I did a startup over the last
994
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,040
week or so and we're just
finishing it up.
995
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,640
But he was the second rookie
running back taken to Darian
996
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,680
Price.
So there we go.
997
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:06,440
That's my coin flip, that's my
information, that's the media
998
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:10,280
I've heard, and I'm going to go
at Jadarian price at 35.
999
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,840
Yeah, I I really like that.
I do like that a lot.
1000
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,360
I think Genarian Price, and I
think I told you about it too a
1001
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,760
couple days ago.
If he gets in a really, really
1002
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,520
good landing spot, which is
definitely an opportunity.
1003
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,760
If he gets in a good landing
spot, I could see him being
1004
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,400
being now the the one O 4 in
rookie drafts.
1005
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:31,680
He can go way up the list
because if you look at him,
1006
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,240
obviously he wasn't a workhorse.
You're not going to be a
1007
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,240
workhorse when you're sharing
the backfield with Jeremiah
1008
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:37,240
Love.
We know that already.
1009
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,200
But if you just look past that,
the fact that he wasn't the
1010
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,960
workhorse, you see a lot of
upside, see a lot of upside in
1011
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:44,440
his game.
He can, he, he can make big
1012
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,560
plays, man.
He can make big plays.
1013
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:47,920
He can produce.
And if he's given the
1014
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,160
opportunity to be a, a, a
starting running back somewhere
1015
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:55,880
and a decent opportunity, I
think, yeah, I, I think we have
1016
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:57,720
a chance to see someone that
could really put up some good
1017
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,520
numbers.
And with all the talk of
1018
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,400
Jeremiah Love, and rightfully
so, he's an outstanding player.
1019
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,960
He's going to be possibly a top
five pick coming up here in a
1020
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:09,240
couple weeks.
Don't sleep on Jadarian Price.
1021
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,600
He's he's a guy that if he is it
put in a situation where he can
1022
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,800
be the main guy.
I think we're going to be pretty
1023
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,480
excited to see what we can we
can get from him.
1024
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:21,200
And then #36 to round out the
the final RB 3 here, Jonah
1025
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,360
Coleman very similar, You know,
it just comes down the landing
1026
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,400
spot.
We we with him.
1027
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,400
He, he's a, he's a prostyle type
running back.
1028
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,640
He's got good size.
He's been, he was a productive
1029
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,000
running back on 20/24.
He had a really good season in,
1030
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,400
in college.
He had 1000 yards, 1053 yards,
1031
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,600
5.5 yards were carrying 10 S
sounds for Washington.
1032
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:44,520
I just think when you look at
him and his size and his ability
1033
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:49,360
to, to handle that load, it's
very similar to the price.
1034
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:50,960
You know, it's going to be
landing spot.
1035
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,040
He definitely benefits from this
RB class being very thin.
1036
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,120
So he could possibly be a day to
pick.
1037
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,320
And now you're looking at a guy
that, you know, you weren't
1038
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,280
really talking about last week,
but now you're talking about
1039
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,360
now, you know, So what what
really, really comes down to his
1040
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,000
landing spot.
That's what that's what's going
1041
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,440
to come down to in a lot of
these rookies that we talked
1042
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:11,400
about the last several weeks.
Even the receivers, you know,
1043
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,640
the landing spots are so
important for these guys.
1044
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,720
Jeremiah Love, honestly, yeah,
he might be the only one where
1045
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,560
you're not too concerned about
landing spot.
1046
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,640
As you can see he's been getting
picked sometime one O 8 one O 9
1047
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,080
and startups.
Obviously there's not too much
1048
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:29,280
concern about his landing spot.
But now there's there's talent
1049
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,840
here, there's talent here. 58220
General Coleman Coleman that's
1050
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,360
good size.
That's really good size for a
1051
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,720
guy that can come into this
league and and handle a
1052
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,440
workload.
I'm excited to see where he gets
1053
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:43,320
drafted and this drafts going to
be so important for these RB 3
1054
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,680
rankings and and some of our
other rankings too that we've
1055
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:47,480
done in the last couple couple
months.
1056
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:53,480
Absolutely, absolutely.
You know Vikings, that's another
1057
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,240
team.
All the sudden a day 2 running
1058
00:59:56,240 --> 01:00:01,400
back lands there and hopefully a
Round 2 running back, not a late
1059
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:07,280
3rd compensatory pick.
And but yeah, no, there's,
1060
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,600
there's a, there's a handful of
good options out there.
1061
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:13,680
And a guy like Jonah Coleman
with that kind of bowling bill,
1062
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:18,200
bowling ball size 58220.
You know, anybody has 58220,
1063
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,440
that's a, that's a pretty chunky
person.
1064
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,400
And then especially you imagine
that like this person is fast
1065
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,960
and athletic, yeah, you're not
going to they're going to be
1066
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:31,520
dealing some of that pain.
But yeah, that brings us to our
1067
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,840
list here.
And I think, yeah, no, I guess
1068
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,480
we can.
I'll have you cover the list
1069
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,760
here.
And next week we talked about it
1070
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,920
a little bit here because we're
at about an hour the startup I
1071
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,360
just did.
We're going to go over the the
1072
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,920
different rounds, pick out a
handful of players that stuck
1073
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,560
out to us.
This is a 12 team PPR tight end
1074
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,960
premium league and I believe
it's a start 10 league.
1075
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:03,960
So it's pretty standard across
the rankings on and we'll pick
1076
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,200
out some of the things we
thought that were interesting.
1077
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:12,000
It's a popular format and we'll
see see where the players landed
1078
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,040
and make some commentary.
And that way if you have a draft
1079
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,240
coming up, you have at least
somewhat of an idea if there's a
1080
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:19,720
favorite player where they're
going.
1081
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,200
Oh, absolutely, yeah.
Definitely look forward to
1082
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,560
discussing that startup draft.
I know there was a lot of action
1083
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,640
going on that draft.
I know you were, you know,
1084
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:31,440
scouring the trade block there
throughout the draft, but
1085
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:32,960
that'll be, that'll be fun to
talk about.
1086
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,080
All right, so our RB 3 rankings,
we had #25 we had Zach
1087
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:41,440
Charbonnette 26.
We had Menungai 27, Dobbins 28,
1088
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:46,840
Blake Quorum 29, Rico Dow 30,
his teammate Jalen Warren 31,
1089
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:51,880
Kenny Gainwell 32, Tyler Algier,
33, Tuba Hubbard 34, David
1090
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:55,640
Montgomery, and then we had the
2 rookie incoming rookies here
1091
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:59,240
to round it out, 35 Price and 36
was Jonah Coleman.
1092
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,560
That is our RB3 list.
And yeah, that was fun.
1093
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:04,760
I will let you close it out this
week, Tecmo.
1094
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:06,560
It's been, it's been awesome.
Been awesome.
1095
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,320
Talking football again as
always.
1096
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,280
Yeah, absolutely.
Fun time.
1097
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:13,600
I agree.
It's been a it's been a great
1098
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:16,280
time.
It's becoming a more fun time of
1099
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,960
the year that you got people in
your leagues that they they got
1100
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:20,880
nothing to say to you in
February.
1101
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,800
They can't really get back on
the trade.
1102
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,160
You look at how active they are.
They're not that active.
1103
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,400
Well, now it's rookie draft
time.
1104
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:33,720
Now it's dynasty startup time.
There's things to talk about and
1105
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,120
there's reason to be excited.
So no, once again, thank
1106
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:40,000
everybody that does listen for
listening.
1107
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,400
I I hope you enjoy it.
Weapon X and I, we enjoy doing
1108
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:44,320
this.
That's why we do it.
1109
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:51,160
Zeal sound isn't paying us any
bills just yet, but next week
1110
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,840
we'll do that startup.
So I'll I'll wish everybody
1111
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:55,400
well.
Have a great week, and we'll
1112
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,360
talk to you next week with some
startup insight.
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,640
Hello and welcome back to Lab 52
at Dynasty Football Podcast.
2
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,040
I'm one of your hosts, the Tecmo
Weave, joined by my Co host
3
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,360
Weapon X.
As always, this is not Dynasty
4
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,320
advice.
You need to do your own
5
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,640
research, watch YouTube.
As I said, it's just it's what
6
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,960
we do.
We watch YouTube, we go on the
7
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,960
websites and form your own
opinions.
8
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,640
We're just here to help you get
get some insight from what we
9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,680
think Today we're going to do a
show about RB threes, basically
10
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,320
running back in dynasty 25 to
36.
11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,720
And, and when I was coming up
with my list today, I started to
12
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,360
think to myself, well, you know,
are we looking at this through a
13
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:04,200
lens of startups or are we
looking this through a lens of
14
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,000
just the general dynasty
economy?
15
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:14,120
And when when you create and and
rank your players weapon X, are
16
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,480
you looking through it through
just a startup lens or are you
17
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,920
looking at through the dynasty
economy like once once a team is
18
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,840
already established?
Yeah, dynasty economy, but I do
19
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,120
use the startup draft positions
as a guide, you know, to kind of
20
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,760
you see where they're going
right now in startups and kind
21
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,560
of go by that.
But yeah, just dynasty economy
22
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,160
just based on their, you know,
dynasty outlook for this coming
23
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,200
season and, you know, their
outlook for the next couple
24
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,120
years.
That's kind of how I look at it
25
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,000
when I do these rankings in a
dynasty economy tub.
26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,120
Aspect, wonderful, wonderful.
And I mean, I guess it is all
27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,720
baked into the price that if
you're getting a player like
28
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,400
David Montgomery and maybe we'll
talk about him later, when you
29
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,640
look at him through a redraft
lens, he has one value.
30
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,920
When you look at him in
comparison to RJ Harvey, the,
31
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:11,800
you know, next All Pro, a Hall
of Fame player, they have value
32
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:14,920
similarly, but it's in a
different way.
33
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,560
But yeah, no, I mean, I guess
we'll we'll get to the list
34
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,600
here.
But once again, before we get to
35
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,320
the list, do you think we should
cover?
36
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,280
Let's cover one through 12 and
then 13 through 24?
37
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,320
All right, so the top 12 R BS we
have #1B John Robinson, 2, Jamir
38
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:39,080
Gibbs, 3, Ashton Jetty, 4, Devon
A chain, five Jeremiah Love, 6
39
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,040
of Marion Hampton, 7 Taylor, 8
Cook, 9 is Bruce Hall, 10
40
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,280
Irving, 11 Henderson, and 12 is
Chase Brown.
41
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,120
Yeah, going through these top 12
and we did this several weeks
42
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,240
back.
It's, it's still looking pretty
43
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,480
strong.
And I, I just as I was reading
44
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,800
these off, it's still looking
really strong based on how the
45
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,600
offseason has been going.
But it's going to be really
46
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,800
interesting when this draft
comes.
47
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,720
So if you want to cover the 13
to 24.
48
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,520
I would love to do that.
At 13 we got Saquon Barkley.
49
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,680
At 14, we got Kenneth Walker 15.
We got CMC 16.
50
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,400
We got Javonte Williams At 17.
We got Quinch on Judkins.
51
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:25,000
At 18, we got Kyron Williams 19.
We have etn #20.
52
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,120
We have a guy that may get
sniped at the draft, Cam
53
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,240
Scatabo.
I guess we don't know 21.
54
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:37,640
We got Josh Jacobs, 22, DeAndre
Swift 23, Derrick Henry.
55
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,360
It's a joy to watch him play,
but not as much of A joy as #24
56
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:47,840
RJ Harvey.
Yeah, I mean, you look at the 13
57
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,400
to 24, obviously Harvey, we've
been talking about him for a
58
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,000
while, but obviously we're we
we're just having fun with it
59
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
all started obviously when we
talked about their kind of
60
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,440
reaction being a joy to watch
and a blessing to watch play.
61
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,080
Techno came in here trying to
equate RJ Harvey with Derrick
62
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,040
Henry.
It's it's tough to do that right
63
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,240
now, but let's let him.
Let's let him do something first
64
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,280
before we can officially label
him all time great, which I
65
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,680
fully expect we can do.
Yeah, I mean, if he's already
66
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,519
pretty old RJ Harvey, that is
for for a second year player.
67
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,320
If you we tacked on a couple
more years, I'm not sure he'd be
68
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,640
in the top 24.
But then again, he's only had
69
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,720
one year of production.
All players can learn a system
70
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,600
and time has shown us batting
against Sean Payton, it doesn't.
71
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,880
I guess you end up losing if
you're betting against him.
72
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,360
Yeah, for sure.
I and I think when I look at
73
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,280
these also here, another thing I
was thinking of, when you look
74
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:52,240
at the RB 13 to 24, there are a
couple here.
75
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,800
Obviously Kenneth Walker, when
we were doing the, the rankings,
76
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,360
he wasn't signed with the Chiefs
yet.
77
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,880
So that I think that definitely
changes with him.
78
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,800
Where do you think you, you
would have him now in the
79
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,480
rankings if we had to redo it?
Is he still in the same range or
80
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,760
do you think he's up a couple
spots?
81
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,680
Well, you got to move them up a
couple spots.
82
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,400
You have to, you absolutely have
to.
83
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,640
I never liked Bucky Irving in
our top 12.
84
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,560
So there we go.
That's a perfect replacement.
85
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,840
We'll, we'll move Kenneth Walker
right in there.
86
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,320
For sure.
Yeah, I can see that.
87
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,160
And then for the most part,
though, I would look at the rest
88
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,840
of the rankings.
I, I like pretty much where we
89
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:33,120
have everyone here, Scatterbell.
Obviously it's, it's going to be
90
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,320
tough and see what happens.
If, if, if, if Jeremiah Love
91
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,480
goes to New York, that's going
to be really tough.
92
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,600
That's going to be really tough
for him and his dynasty outlook.
93
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,520
But I still like the, the
potential for him as a, as a
94
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,080
really good value of drafts
right now.
95
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,920
But yeah, I, I did have one
question.
96
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,280
I know we've been doing this for
a while now.
97
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:55,360
We, we did a reboot show couple
months back.
98
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,160
Let's, let's let's explain our
nicknames.
99
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,640
I think that's a good thing to
do.
100
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,560
We did, we talked about it way
back five years ago.
101
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,360
But like you said, I don't think
the, I don't think the audience
102
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,560
from five years ago is still, is
still locked in as much.
103
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,120
So if there's a there's a new
audience, maybe now listening,
104
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,600
so maybe we can explain how we
got our nicknames.
105
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,360
I'll let, I mean if you can take
the floor first and then.
106
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,520
I'll for sure, yeah.
For me, basically it was when I
107
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,760
started playing Dynasty, I
believe it was around 2014.
108
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,440
Around that time, 2014, I
started playing Dynasty and you
109
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,400
know, the 1st team name I could
think of was Weapon X.
110
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,600
And that's not the Marvel
character actually, it's
111
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,720
actually Brian Dawkins who is
one of my all time favorite
112
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,280
football players, amazing
defensive player for the
113
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:49,480
Philadelphia Eagles Hall of
Famer.
114
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,800
And his nickname was Weapon X.
So that's one of the first names
115
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,440
I thought of when I was thinking
of my team name.
116
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,640
And it's just stuck.
I've I've kept that name
117
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,680
basically with every single
dynasty team I've had.
118
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,040
Yeah, and that's, that's pretty
much what it is.
119
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,080
And, and the, the people in our
leagues were the majority of the
120
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,640
people that were listened to
when we were recording episodes
121
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,680
were the people in our leagues.
So we're like, I know you and I
122
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,400
talked about it and we said,
it's just, you know, roll with
123
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,200
that, roll with the names.
That's what they know us as.
124
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,360
So let's just keep it going.
Yeah, yeah.
125
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:25,720
No, I, I, you know, being in a
number of leagues and you may
126
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,800
see some of the same owners when
an opening opens up or someone
127
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,040
does a startup, some folks will
go in there and they'll create a
128
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,000
new team name for the new
league.
129
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,160
So you know them as Weapon X in
one league, but they are a
130
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,000
different name in a different
league.
131
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,440
I'm like you I I tend to keep
the same brand name throughout
132
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,600
each and every league that I can
unless there's some reason that
133
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,960
I can't.
It it may be an aspect of the
134
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:02,080
league, like a namesake league
where you draft A-Team instead
135
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,920
of players.
Then your your name is based on
136
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:11,000
the team you pick.
But yeah, the Tecmo weave, it's
137
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,240
based on Tecmo.
Super Bowl.
138
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,640
You asked me probably one of the
top top five games, best games
139
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,760
ever created.
They still update the rosters
140
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,560
every year underground that is,
you know, people that just are
141
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,600
fans of the game.
So that says something that a
142
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:38,480
game that was made probably 35
years ago, it really spoke to a
143
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,799
lot of people.
There's national championships,
144
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,520
I'm pretty good, but I'm not
sure if I'm on that level.
145
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,000
But the Tech, so that's techno
Super Bowl.
146
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,440
But if you're familiar with the
game, the if there's a winning
147
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,360
move, it's when you're about to
be tackled.
148
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,160
You kind of weave up back and
forth on the field.
149
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,160
That's how you dodge tackles.
So if you can do it, if you can
150
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,520
do it, the better you can do
that, the better you'll do in
151
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,560
the game.
So it's a winning move.
152
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,760
And I figured, well, what a
better name.
153
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,560
If you want to have a winning
brand of fantasy football, then
154
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:26,040
the unstoppable Tecmo weave.
And you'll notice some NFL
155
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,640
players do a version of that
where they weave back and forth
156
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,640
as they're trying to dodge
people's tackles.
157
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,360
If they're breaking away, it's
it's kind of funny.
158
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,920
Yeah, absolutely.
That game has always been one of
159
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,880
my favorites.
I remember I was playing it when
160
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,800
I was real little, I think 5-6
years old.
161
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,080
I started playing that game.
My brother showed me the game
162
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,200
and we would play season after
season.
163
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,720
You could play a season in a day
sometimes how quick those games
164
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,560
went.
But it it was a great game, man.
165
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:57,160
It definitely helped me learn
more about football when I was
166
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,760
at that age.
Learn the players.
167
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,000
I would know.
I knew all the players names
168
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,800
just because when you play
season after season, you just
169
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,200
get used to it.
That's one of my favorite games,
170
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,280
man.
I I think if you look back at
171
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,080
some of the video games that
have come out in the years, I
172
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,160
think Tecma Super Bowl right up
there Mario three, one of the
173
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,280
best games of all time.
That these are just classic
174
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,960
games and you just can't.
You can't top it.
175
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,960
Absolutely.
It's a, it's a very, very
176
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,600
influential game and, and
hopefully our our podcast
177
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,000
reflects that.
This is a very influential
178
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,640
podcast and, and considering
that I, I, I thought when you
179
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,360
wanted to talk about, you know,
how some things have changed and
180
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,480
other things have stayed the
same.
181
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,160
I thought you wanted to talk
about my new voice.
182
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:49,160
I, I decided to go into a, that
Steve Urkel machine where he
183
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:54,560
becomes Stefan Urkel.
And so I decided I, I jumped in
184
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:58,920
there and I, and I became the
new suave version of the Tecmo
185
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,680
weave.
Now I, I as, as we talked before
186
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:06,440
the show, I got new, new
microphone and so it's a brand
187
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,240
new me.
Yeah, I mean, that's everyone's
188
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,560
listening in there and they're
they're noticing a little bit
189
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:14,040
different sound from the Tecmo
weave.
190
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,720
And yeah, definitely sounds
great, man.
191
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,640
Really, really good microphone
you got there going.
192
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,400
Well, thank you and we'll thank
zeal sound.
193
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,560
They can be the unofficial
sponsor of today's show.
194
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,160
Check them out on Amazon and if
they somehow hear this, send us
195
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,840
some more free microphones.
I, I like the quality of your
196
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,760
product, but let's let's jump
into the, the big arch of the
197
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,360
show here.
The, the big deal, the topic of
198
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,240
the show RB threes this year.
So when you're in RB3, you're
199
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,280
right on the border of being
meaningful.
200
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,360
Certainly the list I came up
with I I would certainly find
201
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:05,240
myself trading for these
players, drafting some of them
202
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,840
and depending on your team
makeup, these would potentially
203
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:17,400
be starters on a lot of people's
teams, depending on, you know,
204
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,640
once again, you know, the health
of the player and the depth of
205
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,480
your own team.
These are definitely, I would
206
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,640
say at very least by week
starters.
207
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,800
If you have some sort of super
squad on a bye week, I'm sure
208
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,920
this year you'll probably be
starting Rico Dowdell if you had
209
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,760
him and if he's not a starter he
should be at least a bye week
210
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:43,000
starter.
Absolutely, Yeah, Yeah.
211
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,520
I mean, if you want to kick it
off, that'd be great.
212
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:49,840
Start off here at #25.
And I, you know, making this
213
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,840
list IA lot of times the very
first player I pick, I feel the
214
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,560
most strongly about them.
And this player I don't.
215
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:01,440
And I think it's it's simply due
to the injury.
216
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,640
He wasn't injured.
Then I would feel different.
217
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,960
But when I think about players
that I would want to draft in a
218
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,840
startup or players I might want
to trade for, I know I hear you
219
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,280
talk about the two to three-year
window.
220
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,080
And I think that's fair.
Dynasty changes so quickly.
221
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,240
You can't really look beyond
that.
222
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,480
Yes, you can look at age, but
you've got, you know,
223
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,200
opportunity is king situation
can be extremely meaningful.
224
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,520
We've talked, we beat that topic
into the ground.
225
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,480
So I'm going to go with Zach
Charbonnet here at 25.
226
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,720
Yeah, he's, he's injured.
Looks like he's got an ACL
227
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,960
injury.
A lot of what I read about him
228
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,800
says they're not.
What the what did the coach say?
229
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,480
We think he'll come back.
I hope or I hope he'll come back
230
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:03,040
sometime during the season.
That doesn't make me feel really
231
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:09,560
great about Zach Charbonnet and
what he's going to do in 2026.
232
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,120
And then we got the rookie draft
to deal with and who did they
233
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,880
sign?
They signed Emmanuel Wilson to a
234
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,000
one year deal for two for $2.1
million.
235
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,040
OK, that is not big time starter
money.
236
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,800
I, I think all the people
thinking that it's going to be
237
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,720
George Helani and Emmanuel
Wilson that that seems unlikely.
238
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,800
I, I would imagine one of the
the bigger name running backs.
239
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,720
We just don't know who it is.
It's not going to be Jeremiah
240
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,640
Love, but will it be Jerian
Price would be Jonah Coleman?
241
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,520
Will it be Mike Washington?
One of those players will go to
242
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,480
Seattle and then I would
imagine, unless they just blow
243
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,000
the doors off that off the
opportunity they're given.
244
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:01,680
Once Charbonnet comes back the
the keys to the RB, one job will
245
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,560
be his and he was a Thorn and
Kenneth Walker's side so much
246
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,400
that he said I'm leaving, I'm
leaving and I'm not coming back.
247
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,840
And I guess I would do the same
if I was Kenneth Walker.
248
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,360
I'm just leaving.
You know, Charbonne had a
249
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,680
surprisingly good season last
year.
250
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,840
I guess if you're a big fan, it
wasn't a surprise.
251
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,520
He had 730 yards, 1212
touchdowns.
252
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,320
So he was vulturing a lot of
those Kenneth Walker touchdowns,
253
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,520
not this year, but the year
before.
254
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,960
He caught 42 passes.
So he's a capable pass catcher.
255
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,240
Last year he only had 20, but he
was splitting time almost 5050
256
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:48,400
with Walker.
So I think at 25, he just turned
257
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,680
25 in January of this year.
So he'll be 26 for next year.
258
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:58,920
You can do a lot worse in an RV
3 and hoping that his value at
259
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,280
this point, if it hasn't dipped
that far, knowing that he's not
260
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,000
going to play a whole lot this
year and he may not be his full
261
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,800
self.
I I think at 25, Kenneth
262
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:15,800
Walker's a fair bet.
Yeah, I mean 25 Kenneth Walker,
263
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,000
I don't think was the the man
you meant to say there at the
264
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,760
end, but Charbonnet at 25 I
think is I.
265
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,000
Apologize.
I don't think the new the new
266
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,640
microphone's going to be able to
edit that one out.
267
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,760
I'm sorry, but Char Charbonnet
at 25, it means like it's like
268
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,960
you said, the coach isn't really
giving a whole lot, a lot of
269
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,160
confidence to anyone right now
with that he might be back at
270
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,600
some point.
We all we always knew he we
271
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,400
missing some time just due to
the timing of the injury.
272
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,160
But if you just look at him as a
player, I mean, we really like
273
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,720
what we saw going into the post
season.
274
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,520
He had a 18 carry, 110 yard game
against Carolina and then and
275
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,280
that was Week 17.
That was not the postseason, but
276
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,040
that was Week 17 and then the
postseason.
277
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,200
He had a 17 carry, 74 yard game
before he went down with the
278
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,119
injury.
Such a tough injury to to see
279
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,440
happen there at that time.
We know we can do it around the
280
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,079
red zone and the goal line.
Yeah, he's he's he's he's a
281
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:15,319
really good player.
But like you mentioned, the the
282
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:18,400
draft is going to be big and you
would imagine they're going to
283
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,720
bring in some kind of
competition, somebody that could
284
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,599
come in right away and training
camp and, and carve out a role.
285
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,800
So Charbonnet not only has the
injury to come back from, but
286
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,480
also he may have competition to
try to come to try to compete
287
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,440
with right off the bat.
So what we'll see what happens
288
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,080
there.
But that that's, that's OK.
289
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,880
I'm fine with him there.
So #26 Very similar to
290
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,480
Charbonnay.
He's not injured, but it's very
291
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,800
similar in the number 2 back,
but also productive common gun
292
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,280
and #26 he he saw a lot of work.
He saw a lot, a lot of work this
293
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,360
year.
There was a point in the middle
294
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:55,440
of the season where he was
seeing 26 carries one game, 22
295
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,320
carries one game and putting up
some really good numbers.
296
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,680
Get a really good game against
Philadelphia week 1322 for 1:30
297
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,360
and that upset win and then 26
for 176 against Cincinnati.
298
00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:09,800
We we know the kind of runner he
is, he's going to get work.
299
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,320
And in that offense, the way the
way that Hale William has that
300
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,680
awesome, awesome offense rolling
right now with the receivers,
301
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,680
they have the tight end.
It's a really strong offense and
302
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,560
this coaching staff is very
impressive.
303
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,040
I I like the outlook for him.
Obviously DeAndre Swift, Swift
304
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,200
is the main guy, but there's
plenty of room for them and and
305
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,560
a team that likes to run the
football and they like to use
306
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,640
their backs.
So yeah, I like him here at 26.
307
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:40,200
I had a much lower and he was a
player I was struggling to rank
308
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,920
and concerning you ranked him, I
guess based pretty much where
309
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:48,640
fantasy pros wants him to be
ranked.
310
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,920
And you know, I just did a start
up this week.
311
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,000
You're aware of that.
The listeners may not be Yeah,
312
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,200
he he went, I don't know, I'd
have to look where he went, but
313
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,080
he went a lot higher than I
would have taken him.
314
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,400
I have trouble shaking the draft
capital.
315
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:09,800
I, I do a seventh round pick
that OK, you, you beat out, you
316
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,360
know, I don't know who was even
in front of you, but you beat
317
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:15,440
them out.
You got a good opportunity and
318
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,960
you did well in a role where you
split time with DeAndre Swift.
319
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,920
Explain to me why I should not
be worried about the draft
320
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,720
capital, because teams teams
don't seem to forget that.
321
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,720
Yeah, I mean, I, I think you're
definitely, you know, have a
322
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,560
reason for concern.
Is is valid.
323
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,800
We've seen running backs drafted
late have good starts to their
324
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:44,080
career and then fizzle out.
But my main reason to not be
325
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,240
concerned is I just I really
think the fact that the offense
326
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:53,200
is how it is so productive.
Their coaching staff seems seems
327
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,160
to really want to rely on both
of these guys.
328
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,800
And I think sometimes at the end
of the day, draft stock, yes, it
329
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,880
does matter.
But when you put out the the
330
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,000
type of.
Performance that he put out this
331
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,000
season and and at 23 years old,
he still, you know, obviously in
332
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,200
that rookie contract, he he's
got room to grow.
333
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,560
There have been players that
drafted late in the NFL drafts
334
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,360
that have carved out tremendous
careers.
335
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,560
Yes, draft capital definitely
helps when your first, second,
336
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,720
third rounder day 2 pick up all
that matters and it definitely
337
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,400
helps.
But sometimes there's situations
338
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,000
where you're in great spots and
he isn't one of them and I think
339
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,360
there's no reason at all for
them to to worry about him.
340
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,920
Sometimes players just they come
into the league and they show
341
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,160
that their draft capital was was
not correct.
342
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,080
You convinced me.
I I have no more.
343
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,240
I have no more worries.
I mean, no.
344
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,480
The thing is, though, there's so
many players in this league who
345
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,440
have been drafted extremely high
or some players have been
346
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,680
drafted way late.
It really comes down to
347
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,160
situation and where they're at.
And his situation is a very
348
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,120
strong situation, a strong
franchise right now.
349
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:10,280
The Bears are really on the
upper trajectory right now.
350
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,360
They got a great core offense
and there's no reason for them
351
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:15,760
right now to change anything on
what they're doing.
352
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,120
I don't see what what they would
do right now to, to really
353
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:21,160
dramatically change their
running back core.
354
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,160
I, I like, I like him as a
player.
355
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:31,520
And yeah, I mean, at 27, at 26,
where we have him right here, I
356
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,000
don't know.
I, I just think that he can be a
357
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,840
guy that can still be productive
with that number 2 role and an
358
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,280
offense that runs a ton of
plays.
359
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,320
I think he's going to see, he's
going to see opportunities.
360
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,480
OK.
And the more I thought of it
361
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:50,640
too, he is from this regime, you
know, the Ben Johnson regime are
362
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,800
the ones that drafted him.
So they have no problem giving
363
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,400
him a shot for sure.
And you're right, you can't
364
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,400
really complain about the
results.
365
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,160
It would be foolish to go in
there and all of a sudden
366
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:10,160
relegate him to some change of
pace back versus 1A1B, which
367
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,360
appears if they're going to do
it how they did last year,
368
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:14,640
that's what we're going to see
more of.
369
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,000
But OK, so Kyle Menon guy at
2026.
370
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:23,720
That seems to be in line with
the general consensus 27.
371
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,200
I'm I'm picking a player that is
at least fantasy pros didn't
372
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:34,160
even have him as an RB3 and he's
a player that battles injury.
373
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:39,320
But when he's playing at least
last year and his situation is
374
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,000
pretty good.
JK Dobbins.
375
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,120
JK Dobbins is going to be 27
this year.
376
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:48,400
His birthday, it's middle of
December.
377
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,000
So he's 27 years old.
I guess you could say he's right
378
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,240
in the, you know, starting
moving off the peak of his
379
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,400
career.
But so much of his early career
380
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:03,680
was clouded with injury and then
recovery from injury.
381
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,240
And then he got the one year
prove it deal in Denver and he
382
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,880
proved it and they brought him
back and his only only person
383
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,800
that's blocking his way is the
all pro RJ Harvey.
384
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,600
And as that you'll see all the
shows they'll say this is the
385
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,440
same offensive line and you had
JK Dobbins and he did really,
386
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,000
really well.
You know, he had a couple games
387
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,440
over 100 yards website I'm
looking at doesn't break down
388
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,400
the yards per carry, but that
could be a a misleading staff.
389
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:44,000
He's not a big pass catcher, but
you know, he's an efficient
390
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,960
runner in a good situation and
he's not old in his competition,
391
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:54,800
at least at the moment.
Isn't isn't worrying you because
392
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,880
you would think if they wanted
to give the keys to RJ Harvey,
393
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,280
you know, I guess you, you
might, I mean, you could argue,
394
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,200
well, it only makes sense for
them to bring JK Dobbins back or
395
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,800
maybe he somehow gave them a
team friendly deal.
396
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,440
We don't know that there there
was no talk that JK Dobbins and
397
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,440
his contract was under market
value.
398
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,920
If I'm a player, I want to go
where I can succeed because then
399
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,800
I'll continue to make more
money.
400
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,680
You put me in a bad situation
where I'm getting hit behind the
401
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,000
line all the time.
I I may have a pretty short
402
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,680
career and my production is
going to look poor for that next
403
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:37,400
contract I want.
I've prioritized in a handful of
404
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:42,760
leagues that are not startups.
Acquiring JK Dobbins where I
405
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,400
could because he's almost a
forgotten.
406
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,240
Seems like he's a forgotten
player.
407
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,800
And people look at RJ Harvey as
the I guess more exciting,
408
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:57,360
younger but only barely by a
couple of years option.
409
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,280
And when I look at the other
people I have here as an RV 3,
410
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,760
JK Dammons is a player I can
feel good about having on my
411
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,360
team until he gets injured
again.
412
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,040
Yeah, I mean, obviously he's,
you know, obviously ranked in
413
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,120
this situation a lot higher than
where you'll see him.
414
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,480
I don't know if I would have him
at this spot, but I don't have a
415
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,640
problem with him being RB three,
maybe a little bit lower in
416
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,560
these rankings, but I don't have
a problem with him being in this
417
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,960
tier because when he is on the
field and obviously that's the
418
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,080
main thing, he misses quite a
few games.
419
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,680
You know, we we know that, but
when he is on the field there is
420
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,760
not many there.
There just aren't many
421
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,880
productive running backs in the
league.
422
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,120
There aren't many running backs
as productive as JK Dobbins.
423
00:25:43,120 --> 00:25:45,400
As far as you know, yards per
carry efficiency.
424
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:49,120
I mean you look at every year of
his career when he has gotten a
425
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:52,520
decent amount of workload, the
six yards of carry is rookie
426
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,080
year.
And then you know when you look
427
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,240
at 2024, he had 4.6 on 195
carries.
428
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,480
In the last year before he went
down, he was averaging 5 yards
429
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,120
of carry.
So we know the type of runner he
430
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:03,640
is.
He's a, he's a, he's a strong
431
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,080
runner and in that offense, a
really good team, similar to
432
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,080
Monongah, really good, solid
foundation with a good
433
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,000
quarterback.
I think obviously they brought
434
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,920
him back for a reason.
They they believe he is a very
435
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,720
important part to this team
player that they want to, you
436
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,280
know, bring back to try to get
back to that AFC title game,
437
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,320
trying to get back to the Super
Bowl opportunity here.
438
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,160
They have a good team.
They have a good chance to to
439
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,600
make another run.
Yeah.
440
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,200
I think when you have a guy like
JK Dobbins and you can give him
441
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,560
that workload and you could
share it with RJ Harvey and and
442
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,960
mix it up, mix and match and use
RJ Harvey in creative ways.
443
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,040
It's very exciting the
opportunity that those two have
444
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,400
here.
We only have them three spots of
445
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,480
partner rankings with RJ Harvey
at 24.
446
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,560
So yeah, I don't, I don't have
any issue here with Dobbins
447
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,360
here.
It's not where I would put him,
448
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:52,920
but I think he still is worthy
of being an RV 3 for sure.
449
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:59,240
So #28 another player, you know,
it seems like so far in the
450
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,760
first three, these are players
who obviously one year we're
451
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,800
ranking RB threes.
Most most likely they're going
452
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,400
to be players that are sharing
the work.
453
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,160
You're not going to have too
many RB3 players who are the
454
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,520
main guy.
You know, most of them are
455
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,840
sharing the work.
But these are more higher end
456
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,680
type, either handcuffs or solo
contributors or they can make,
457
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,000
they can make it happen on their
own.
458
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,040
You don't need to have the the
starter to to be able to get
459
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,840
benefits from this type of
player.
460
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,240
So Blake Warm is who I have here
at 28 and very similar to the
461
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,360
other guys we talked about, just
another productive runner, just
462
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,400
a guy who you can feed the ball
and he's going to get you.
463
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,600
He's just going to continue to
move the chains, move the
464
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,440
chains.
He had 145 carries for 7:46, so
465
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,160
5 and 5.1 yards per carry in his
rookie year.
466
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,960
He had six touch sounds a very
good rookie year, a very good
467
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,400
rookie year and a very good
offense.
468
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,240
So the, the common theme so far
with what we've seen the first
469
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,120
four players is every single
player right now is in a really
470
00:27:57,120 --> 00:27:58,480
good offense, really good
situation.
471
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:00,480
So there's going to be
opportunities for them.
472
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,920
There's going to be
opportunities, especially when
473
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,120
they are getting the amount of
work they have been.
474
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,160
So I like Blake Quorum here at
#28 Carrie Rollins, Blake
475
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,480
Quorum.
I formed a tremendous duo and
476
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,840
this offense is going to
continue to thrive with what
477
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,800
Matthew Stafford just playing at
an extremely high level.
478
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,840
So, and you look at Blake
Cormoran, if he has a chance to
479
00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:22,760
to be the main guy at any
moment, he could be a top 12
480
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,680
runner, he could be a top 12
running back in this offense.
481
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,800
So you also have to keep that in
mind, obviously a priority
482
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,040
handcuff for Kyrie Williams, but
also someone that you could
483
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:37,960
start on his own.
Yeah, I, I, excuse me, I, I have
484
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,400
him exactly at, at 28.
So this is the first player
485
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,400
we've we've agreed on 100% with
the spot.
486
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,960
I do think though, when we talk
about him being a handcuff, yes,
487
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:54,880
he is a handcuff technically to
Kyron Williams, but he's also,
488
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,760
when I think of handcuffs, I
like to get like, OK, you get
489
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,000
the main guy and then I get the
handcuff for very cheap.
490
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,400
You're not going to be able to
do that with Blake Quorum right
491
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,880
now, at least if you think
you're going to get him cheap.
492
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,240
I don't think that's going to
happen because people are seeing
493
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,800
as you and I have talked about
that he has stand alone value.
494
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,360
And when you start to talk about
I don't know what, what price
495
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,200
you're going to pay for a guy
like Blake Gorham, you know, you
496
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:33,240
might pay a high 27 seconds.
I'm not even going to talk about
497
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,600
the 26th class because it's all,
it's all wonky.
498
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,360
The values are all weird outside
of maybe the top 6.
499
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,720
So we're going to look at things
in a realm of 27 draft picks.
500
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,120
I don't think there's a lot of
folks that would pay a late 1st
501
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,840
for Blake Quorum.
Maybe a late 1st in this year's
502
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,440
draft, possibly.
But even as a Kyron Williams
503
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,720
owner, do you want to be
spending that much money on a
504
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,640
guy that, yeah, he may vulture
some touches?
505
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,080
You know, if Kyron Williams
leaves, then I guess you do have
506
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,840
the heir apparent to the job.
I don't know.
507
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,800
I'm happy to have Blake Corum
where I do in a few leagues.
508
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,840
It's just he's a hard player, I
would think, to go out and buy
509
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,600
if you're just looking to buy
Kyron Will or excuse me, by
510
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:31,720
Blake Quorum because the price
isn't going to necessarily match
511
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,240
up with the value on paper.
And if you have Kyron Williams,
512
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,640
you probably should be somewhat
worried about Blake Quorum.
513
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,600
But there's not a whole lot that
having both is going to do for
514
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,360
you because you aren't going to
start both of them any given
515
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,400
week.
But that's just my commentary on
516
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:54,120
Blake Quorum.
I do have him here at 28, at 29
517
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,080
as a player.
I mentioned earlier he had some
518
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:04,640
explosive games last year, a
couple, and he's shown he can be
519
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:09,960
a starter in the NFL and he's
going into a situation where
520
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,720
it's more of a 1A1B.
And it's a question to the
521
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,680
listener, it's a question to the
dynasty owner.
522
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,560
Which one do you think he is?
Is he A1A, is he A1B?
523
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:31,880
But Rico Dowdle, I'm liking him
here at #29 on our rankings,
524
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,480
he's going to be paired up with
Jalen Warren.
525
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:43,240
And unless we view Caleb Johnson
as a threat, and I don't think a
526
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:48,560
lot of people do, but I still
just like a handful of dynasty,
527
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,360
dynasty hosts and shows that I
watch.
528
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,320
They say I refuse.
I refuse to believe Caleb
529
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,760
Johnson just led the Big 10 and
rushing and he was this massive
530
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,400
part of the offense.
And now he's nothing.
531
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,080
You know, he, he fumble the
kickoff and he he ran the ball
532
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,200
25 times in the NFL.
He didn't commit any crimes.
533
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,000
He's he's not an embarrassment
to the organization.
534
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,880
He he didn't do something that
was super awful and now he's
535
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,760
just trash.
I refuse to believe that that's
536
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,800
going to happen.
But we, I guess we've seen it
537
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,200
happen.
You know, third round running
538
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,600
backs don't always pan out.
I just thought he had a pretty
539
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:36,320
good draft profile, but I guess
the Steelers thought
540
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,640
differently.
They they were not Rico Dowdell
541
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,600
in and they're saying we don't
even want to bother with you as
542
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:46,680
in our RV too.
But I I would like Caleb Johnson
543
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,880
as maybe a handcuff.
If you have Jalen Warren, if you
544
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,040
have Rico Dowdell, go get Caleb
Johnson.
545
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,720
Because if one of them gets
hurt, then the door opens for
546
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,760
Caleb Johnson to get some
carries.
547
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,960
And if he's got anything to give
with a coaching staff that
548
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,400
doesn't have something personal
against him, you know, maybe we
549
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,960
start to see the reason he was
drafted so highly.
550
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,400
But Rico Dowdell, you know, he
had some starter time in Dallas.
551
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,760
I'm just looking for a team here
that has him to bring up some of
552
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,960
his stats.
I know he had a couple games
553
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,600
last year where he rushed for
like 200 yards.
554
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,040
You just don't see that that's
that's a special type of runner.
555
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,680
I know from like watching him
play, he he's a hard runner.
556
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,520
He he's kind of like an Isaiah
Pacheco that he just he runs
557
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:41,440
hard and OK, I guess he had one
game at two O 6 and one game at
558
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,560
183.
I take it back, OK, not 2200
559
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:51,560
yard games, 1200 yard game, but
yeah, I mean, when I look at
560
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,200
them, who do you think is going
to be the the 1A Jalen Warren or
561
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,680
is it Rico Dowdell?
I mean, to me it's it's clearly
562
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,120
Rico Dowdell.
Yeah, I mean, they brought him
563
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,280
in.
They brought him in for a
564
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,000
reason.
He he's had back-to-back years
565
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,120
over 1000 yards in two different
situations, two different teams
566
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:13,679
in Dallas, 2024, he had 1079 and
then last year, obviously 1076
567
00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:16,280
are pretty similar numbers.
I mean, the carriers are right
568
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,120
there, basically the same amount
of carries, touchdowns, six last
569
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,040
year, like you said, very hard
runner, very fun player to
570
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,080
watch.
And I think I'll just go right
571
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,360
into #30 it's going to be Jalen
Ward.
572
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,480
That's why I have it at #30 So I
think they're going to be like
573
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,120
you mentioned earlier, 1A1 BI
think that's what we're going to
574
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,679
see.
It'll be very interesting to see
575
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,960
how that workload divvies up and
and and who's going to be more
576
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,320
of the pants catcher.
And I think when you look at
577
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,280
Jalen Warren, he can be that
kind of player.
578
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,920
He had 61 catches in 2023.
Last year he had 40.
579
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,000
So hasn't the last couple season
that's that's gone down, his
580
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,120
targets have gone way down.
But I think maybe with their two
581
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,840
very similar type players that
can take that can carry the
582
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,760
load, they can carry the load.
But I think if you have Dowdle
583
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,800
carry the load with the majority
of the carries and then Jalen
584
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,000
Warren be used, not not exactly
the kind of game while was, but
585
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,640
in a similar way where he he's
still getting his carry, still
586
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,480
get his work, but also get a
little more reception.
587
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,120
So it's going to be interesting
to see how it works.
588
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,920
I don't feel, I don't feel
strongly either way about which
589
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,240
one's going to be the top guy.
I think that will probably lead
590
00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:25,440
in carries.
But as far as production, I
591
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,240
think Warren can make it up in
reception.
592
00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:29,680
So it'll be interesting.
But I have Jalen Warren at 30.
593
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,120
I think they're back-to-back.
I think you're going to see that
594
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,600
very often.
Yeah, I I would agree.
595
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,520
It's a it's hard to pick who's
going to be the main guy and
596
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,800
who's going to get you more
dynasty value.
597
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,560
Is it going to be Jalen Warren
with more of the pass catching
598
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,080
role?
And also what's the Pittsburgh
599
00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:51,560
Steelers offense going to look
like under Mike McCarthy and
600
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,360
most likely Aaron Rodgers?
I don't think you bring in Mike
601
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,320
McCarthy when you are kind of
wanting to bring Aaron Rodgers
602
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:03,760
back just just because you
decided to in a vacuum hire Mike
603
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,840
McCarthy.
I think there was a reason for
604
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,800
that, that, you know, people
like to, for whatever reason,
605
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,640
cater to Aaron Rodgers and this
was an attempt to lure him back.
606
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:17,640
So Jalen Warren, he could be
slightly better.
607
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,600
Blake Gorham could be except
Blake Gorham, Rico Dowdo.
608
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,960
I'm looking on my list here.
Rico Dowdo.
609
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,720
He he certainly could be the the
1A, but when it comes to
610
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:31,720
drafting them, I I have no
problem with him there at 30.
611
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,640
I think that's fair.
So we're at 31.
612
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,680
Is that correct?
Yes, that is correct.
613
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,640
All right, well, you mentioned
the guy that I'm going to put
614
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,720
here at 31 and I'm shocked if
you would have asked me this
615
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:52,200
last year, it would he be the an
RB3 on this list, You know, and
616
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,000
and you know him as a he's a
former Eagle.
617
00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:02,080
He's a former Pittsburgh Steeler
Kenneth Gainwell talk about it.
618
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,280
If you had Kenneth Gainwell,
granted, it's a you're not
619
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,160
making a ton of money if you had
them and now you have them and
620
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,080
you, you trade them off.
But as far as a percentage rise
621
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,960
from a player, you just could
have picked off the waiver wire
622
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,760
for free in a lot of leagues, I
guess, depending on the depth of
623
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:23,160
your league.
Great return on investment for
624
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,600
Kenneth Gainwell.
Terrific pass catcher.
625
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,400
He he looked like the superior
back at times last year in
626
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,480
comparison to Jalen Warren.
I'm going to bring up some of
627
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,320
his stats here and we'll talk a
little bit about Jalen Warren.
628
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,920
Excuse me, not Jalen Warren kind
of gain.
629
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:48,080
Well, there we go.
We had 500 yards last year.
630
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:53,560
That's shocking. 500 yards,
roughly 5 yards of carry over 4
631
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,640
yards of carry, 4 touchdowns, 65
receptions.
632
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:02,680
My Lord, getting him for cheap
in APPR league he I mean
633
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,600
combined he almost had 1000
total yards.
634
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:11,680
It's like a Trayvon Henderson
cheap poor man's Trayvon
635
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:17,520
Henderson and half the price.
I don't know, but that's I like
636
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:22,920
Kenneth Gainwell here at 31.
And also with not having a ton
637
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,360
of faith in Bucky Irving.
I've seen people say, well, Sean
638
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:27,560
Tuck.
Yeah, the what?
639
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,160
It was a stat I heard the other
day.
640
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,960
How many carries did Bucky
Irving get inside the the 10
641
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,040
yard line or 15 yard line?
Last year?
642
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,240
It was 0.
It it was it wasn't a good
643
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:42,160
situation.
And that a lot of those are
644
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,720
vultured.
Sean Tucker.
645
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,840
And now you're bringing in a guy
like Kenneth Gainwell, not that
646
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,200
he's a great goal line back, but
I guess it shows more
647
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,680
uncertainty about the position
in Tampa Bay.
648
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,200
And, and who knows?
It's the NFL.
649
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,640
They'll probably go draft or
running back Day 2 or something.
650
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,600
Who knows?
But what do you think about
651
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,800
Kenneth Gainwell at 31?
Yeah, I actually have no issue
652
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,200
with that.
He's a guy you can get pretty
653
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,760
late in the draft.
I've seen that many times so far
654
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,240
in the startups just, you know,
looking at startups and where
655
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:19,280
they, where we've been seeing
him go, you can get it pretty
656
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,800
late.
That's not a bad value for a guy
657
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,400
who you could plug into your
flex.
658
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,800
I'm, I would imagine they're
going to use him similar, not
659
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,960
probably not the same exact way
that Steelers did because he was
660
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,200
pretty much their wide receiver
won last year at times.
661
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,120
So I, I obviously we're not
going to see that kind of
662
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,560
workload as far as receptions,
but I think he's going to still
663
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,760
be in that role.
I mean, there's, there's a,
664
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,400
there's definitely a good
opportunity.
665
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,800
I mean, they signed up for two
year, $14 million contract.
666
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,240
That wasn't that.
When you see that type of
667
00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:50,720
contract, when a team already
has a starter like Bucky Irving,
668
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:52,080
you know, they're bringing him
in.
669
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,240
You know, they're bringing Kenny
Gamewell in to do some work.
670
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:55,920
He's going to, he's going to
get, he's going to get his
671
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,560
opportunities.
And if, like I said, he's a,
672
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:03,080
he's a really good guy to to
stash on your bench and a guy
673
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,800
who you can plug in, you know,
here and there, plug once in a
674
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,280
while, put them in your flex,
you know, get some PPR
675
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,080
opportunities there.
No, I do like Kenny Gamewell
676
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,480
there at 31.
I know they're going to be some
677
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,920
sites that don't have them
anywhere near there, but I think
678
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,600
Kenny Gainwell in this
opportunity and then a pretty
679
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,680
decent offense, I think you're
going to see him do well.
680
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,000
So now we're going to go to #32
and I'm telling you, man, these
681
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,000
rankings are getting tough.
They really are, because a lot
682
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,680
of these guys now, they're free
agents going to new teams and we
683
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,080
don't know exactly how they're
going to be used.
684
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,080
Tyler Ijir, who I have at 32, is
another one of those players
685
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,160
where he's going into a
situation, it's not the best
686
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,880
offense.
This is very, very different
687
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,520
than Charbonnay Manung, Guy
Dobbins, very different.
688
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,200
This is not a good offense he's
going into.
689
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,480
Yes, they're, they put up
numbers last year, but that's
690
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,360
not the way they they want to
play football.
691
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,800
They don't want to have to be
behind every single game aired
692
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,760
out 50 * a game.
You know, it's great for Marvin
693
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,480
Harrison and Michael Wilson,
fancy owners.
694
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,360
That's amazing.
And and McBride, obviously, but
695
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,880
I would imagine they're going to
try to get more more, get some
696
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,520
more work on the ground here
with Tyler Algier and James
697
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:11,960
Conner.
Obviously, we'll see what
698
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,760
happens with Benson.
And we talked about it before.
699
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,520
We believe Benson may be the odd
man out just because this
700
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,640
contract that Algier got and how
Connor has been very productive
701
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:22,360
every single time he's out there
on the field.
702
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,560
He's very productive running
back.
703
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,680
So we'll see how he looks, you
know, coming here training camp.
704
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,560
But Tyler Algier a very, very,
you know, he he's he's like a
705
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:32,560
char.
He's char, but he's like
706
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,000
Charbonnet.
I mean, not not maybe not the
707
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,800
same exact player as far as
receptions and everything.
708
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,040
Algiers not going to catch the
ball too much, but he's a guy
709
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,280
you can give the ball at the
goal line.
710
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,760
You know what he's going to do.
You know how the you know how
711
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,680
the Falcons use them.
Obviously it was probably a
712
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,800
thorn in the side for BJ
Robinson owners at times, but
713
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,960
very good runner, very strong
runner and a guy who is they're
714
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,400
going to use them in in Arizona.
We just don't know exactly how
715
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,320
and we don't know how the work
loads going to be.
716
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,240
So I think if you do have him
though, on your team, that is a
717
00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:07,280
guy that you're going to have an
opportunity to start here and
718
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,640
there.
I don't see him being a guy
719
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,440
that's going to take over the
backfield fully unless there's
720
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,840
an injury behind them.
But I think the opportunity is
721
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,920
going to be there for him and
it's going to be exciting to see
722
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,960
what happens.
So who's the starter then?
723
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,800
That's a great question.
Number one, I would man that
724
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,160
that's a great question.
I I think I would say they're
725
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,280
going to get Connor.
He will be the starter just
726
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,040
because you know of how I think
the team loves him.
727
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,960
Obviously they love him,
Coaches, staff loves him.
728
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,280
I think he'll be the starter,
but it doesn't.
729
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,320
You know how there's nominal
starters like there's a there's
730
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,200
a team that says this is the
starter, but we know who's
731
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,560
getting more work.
I think Connor will be the
732
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:55,000
starter, but I think Algier will
be a guy who's going to get as
733
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,440
much work as Connor or maybe
even more.
734
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,720
So let's see what happens.
Everybody think Connor will be
735
00:42:59,720 --> 00:43:00,800
Week 1.
He'll be the starter.
736
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:01,880
That's that would be what I'd
say.
737
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,720
OK, well, I'm going to say it
and I've said it before, I'm
738
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:12,320
going to talk it into existence.
I, I'm saying Algier was brought
739
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,160
in as the Conor replacement, not
the Trey Benson.
740
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:21,040
And I, I still do think that
they'll be a, you know, the one
741
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:27,520
A1B50, you know, 505040605545,
something like that.
742
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:30,080
But it's going to be James
Conner is the odd man out.
743
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:36,160
It just doesn't serve a
rebuilding organization to be
744
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,920
given a guy who, yeah, he gave
you some great years, but that's
745
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,720
yesterday's news.
And this is a business, this is
746
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:47,520
the NFL, and you want to see
what you have in Trey Benson,
747
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,880
who looked really good.
He looked really good until he
748
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,280
didn't play the rest of the
year.
749
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,240
And you brought in Tyler Algier.
Just kind of a holdover.
750
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,720
Steady Eddie but can do the
James Conner role.
751
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:05,640
And so I'm going to talk it into
existence that Trey Benson's
752
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,800
role hasn't changed.
He's the 1B and it's either it's
753
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,760
going to be James Conner, a
Tyler Algier on the outside.
754
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,360
And I would imagine it's not the
not the younger guy who could
755
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,440
just got brought in with the
contract.
756
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,640
It's the old guy who, yeah, they
resigned him, but he's coming
757
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,640
off an injury.
It only makes sense for him to.
758
00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:30,280
You know, the one thing we can
hope is that it's not a three
759
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,720
headed monster because a three
headed monster is is not a
760
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:36,280
monster.
It just isn't any.
761
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,640
They should come up with another
name for that.
762
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,840
Like, you know, I don't know
what we could call it, but it's
763
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,440
definitely not a monster.
It's nothing to be afraid of
764
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,680
when the team uses three
different running backs.
765
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:50,000
Just means they don't have
anybody good enough to to to be
766
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:55,200
the main guy.
So maybe that's a nice segue
767
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:59,120
here into #33 it's a question of
who's good enough to be the main
768
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:04,040
guy in Carolina.
You said earlier that RB 3 is
769
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,640
not the main guy, right?
He's not going to be the RB one
770
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,600
on the team.
But isn't that what Shuba
771
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,800
Hubbard is?
He's the main guy on the team.
772
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,720
And I mean, who's who's the
backup to Chuba Hubbard at this
773
00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:19,520
point?
Jonathan Brooks, right?
774
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,200
I mean, am I, am I missing
somebody?
775
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,880
You know, sometimes things do
slip my mind.
776
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:30,440
But if Chuba Hubbard is number
one, get him at #33 maybe as a
777
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,520
year like he did in 2024, he
turns back the clock.
778
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,800
Last year was a he was
definitely a bust.
779
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,480
If you went out and you said,
I'm going to get the cheap RV
780
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,200
one in Carolina and then he
gives you 500 yards and a
781
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:49,680
touchdown on the ground and
three through the air and 216
782
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,280
yards.
Yeah, that's a very
783
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:56,600
disappointing season.
But you know, I guess 2023
784
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,800
wasn't too bad.
I'll take that back.
785
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,120
But 2024 is where true.
But Hubbard really shined.
786
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,840
So once again, these are the
dynasty startup rankings right
787
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,760
now.
He's still young enough, he only
788
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:16,280
turns 27 and he's shown he can
carry the load unless Carolina
789
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:20,560
goes out and sign someone or
we're expecting Jonathan Brooks
790
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,560
cuz that's a popular stash,
right?
791
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,080
Everybody that didn't want
Jonathan Brooks for the last
792
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,280
couple of years, now they're
coming around to wanting him.
793
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,600
Seeing this is a backfield that
can easily be overtaken by
794
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:38,760
somebody, even a guy that's what
it tore is a ACL twice in the in
795
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:43,480
the same in the same leg.
I don't know.
796
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,680
I mean I don't feel great about
putting him here at #33 but I
797
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,000
don't feel like it makes sense
to have the current day started
798
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,200
here on the 13th of April.
The Carolinas starting running
799
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:58,760
back who's not old and has shown
production in the past and only
800
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,840
has a guy that's coming off A2
brutal injuries as your main
801
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:07,120
competition.
By the end of the year I would
802
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,800
imagine Carolina may have
somebody else, but then again I
803
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,000
could be wrong.
People have been betting against
804
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:16,960
Chuba Hubbard pretty much since
he came to the NFL, and if you
805
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,200
went against the grain in 2023,
it started to pay off.
806
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:23,480
Yeah.
No, that's good call out.
807
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,120
Definitely good call out there.
Chuba Hubbard.
808
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,680
Yeah, with Rico Dowell obviously
moving on to Pittsburgh, I think
809
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,160
that's going to obviously slot
Chuba Hubba right back where?
810
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,240
Right back where he was a couple
years ago.
811
00:47:35,240 --> 00:47:38,200
And then obviously the contract
he got, he's he's clearly going
812
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,120
to be there and he's going to be
a guy they're going to use.
813
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,120
I think it's just the efficiency
2 of the last three years at 3.8
814
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,800
yards of carry.
I think that's going to be,
815
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:51,040
that's probably the situation
here where you know, Jonathan
816
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,920
Brooks, we know what everyone's
been talking about him, he's
817
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,320
been hyped up.
But Shuba Hubbard, obviously,
818
00:47:56,160 --> 00:48:00,360
yeah, you know, when you look at
him and his body of work, he
819
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:01,960
he's a he's a productive running
back.
820
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,560
I just think I don't know if
they're going to be able to
821
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,320
fully commit to him, you know,
long term, two to three years,
822
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,560
three years be beyond this.
I don't think you can.
823
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:11,800
You know, they're going to
they're going to bring
824
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,840
competition.
I don't think, I don't think the
825
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,640
backfield right now as it is, is
what they're what they're going
826
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,760
to enter training camp with.
I believe they will draft
827
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:19,800
someone.
I think they're going to do
828
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,640
something in that not maybe not
to overtake you, but I'll be
829
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,240
right away.
But I think they have to have
830
00:48:25,240 --> 00:48:27,520
that, especially when they lost
out or they have to have
831
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,000
something to be able to replace
Hubbard if if something goes
832
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,800
wrong or Brooks is not able to,
you know, to become the player
833
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,920
that people think he could be.
You want you want Bryce Young to
834
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,760
have.
You want him to have more
835
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,280
support, you know, all around,
you know, you got Teddaroa
836
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:42,680
McMillan.
Yeah.
837
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:45,760
You just don't have a whole lot
else as far as, you know, help
838
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,560
for Bryce Young.
So they're hopefully true.
839
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,400
But Hubbard can stay healthy out
there on the field.
840
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:54,720
But for for #33 back end of the
RB threes, like you said, you
841
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:57,160
mentioned already, he he's a
starter on his team.
842
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:00,080
And that's true.
You know, I, I didn't really
843
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,400
think there was many of them
available, but there is one
844
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,080
right here.
And Truba Hubbard is a guy who I
845
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,760
think not a lot of people are
talking about, not a lot of
846
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,640
people are thinking about, But
the opportunity is there.
847
00:49:09,720 --> 00:49:12,400
And he's going to have an
opportunity to be able to put up
848
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,560
some pretty good numbers this
year if he if he concedes to
849
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:19,600
stay on the field healthy as I.
Said I, I'm sorry, I, I didn't
850
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,600
feel good about it.
I, I don't feel good about that.
851
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,800
But he had to go somewhere.
Yeah.
852
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,920
No, no, I agree.
I like when I think about it, I
853
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,280
I don't feel great about it
either because there's a chance
854
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,080
as as I mentioned earlier,
there's a chance that that
855
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:33,840
backfield could look different
in a couple months.
856
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,960
You know, there is that chance
and I know the Panthers, they
857
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,600
need like, like I was saying a
little bit ago, they need
858
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,280
something to to help this
offense out completely.
859
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,800
And we'll see if that's going to
be via the draft or if it's
860
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,320
going to be, you know, some
other way they're going to
861
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,640
figure out to get this offense
better.
862
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,600
But yeah, I don't feel amazing
about it.
863
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,400
But he is a starter on his team
right now as we stand here in
864
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,040
April.
So I don't have any issue with
865
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:04,680
him being in these rankings. 34
is another player as well who is
866
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,920
a starter on his team.
He signed with a new team here
867
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:08,520
in the offseason.
David Montgomery.
868
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,240
We know what, what he can do
when he gets work.
869
00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:14,920
He he's he's obviously he's
getting older.
870
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,600
We know that already.
But Dave Montgomery now is going
871
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,000
to enter an opportunity here in
Houston where he's going to have
872
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,920
a chance to to get a lot of work
because there's not a whole lot
873
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,440
behind him.
I know what he marks is a guy
874
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,080
that, you know, a lot of people
were excited about last year.
875
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,400
At times.
He just has to he has to stay on
876
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:32,480
the field.
I mean, I don't think I don't
877
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,440
think what he marks is phased
out.
878
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,240
He's going to he's still going
to be part of the offense.
879
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,800
But David Montgomery is a guy
who can handle the workload.
880
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,840
He did it in Chicago and he he
had some stretches there in
881
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,360
Detroit where he was.
You know, obviously with Jamir
882
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:47,800
Gibbs, you're not going to,
you're not going to lead the
883
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,360
backfield.
But when you have 13 touchdown a
884
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,160
year, a 12 touchdown a year and
then an 8, those are the last
885
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,600
three seasons for him.
You know, he's going to be able
886
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,440
to be productive in that way.
But I think Dave Montgomery is
887
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,520
now in a good opportunity.
The offense is not.
888
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:03,920
Obviously the offense is not
great.
889
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,560
It's not a great offense.
But when you're looking at #34
890
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,680
in RV rankings, you just need
opportunity.
891
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,200
And opportunity is absolutely
going to be there for Dave
892
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,920
Montgomery.
I love it.
893
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:16,960
I love it.
I had him a little bit higher,
894
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,520
but the more we went through
this list, he had to be moved
895
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,880
down somewhat.
But he's definitely, I mean,
896
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,640
he's shown he can handle the
load.
897
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,440
He's a good pass catcher, he's a
good runner.
898
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,480
He's he's been productive.
The situation, it isn't
899
00:51:32,720 --> 00:51:34,920
completely awful.
I mean, I guess we have to hope
900
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:40,040
that Houston gets their
offensive line fixed because it
901
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,200
didn't work out so well for CJ
Stroud last year.
902
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,640
So I can only imagine that's the
the run blocking is isn't going
903
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,280
to magically improve a whole
lot.
904
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,480
But David Montgomery at he'll be
29 to start the year.
905
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,240
He definitely feels like one of
these guys that all the sudden,
906
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:02,160
you know, fears down the line
he's going to be 32 and a guy
907
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,440
you could get pretty cheap that
everyone kind of feels is washed
908
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,320
up.
He's just the holdover running
909
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:08,800
back.
Well, if you're playing in a two
910
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,040
to three-year window, why don't
you want to have David
911
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:18,200
Montgomery on the team on on
your team, especially when like
912
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:19,720
this is going to be the lead
back.
913
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:23,400
I'm not expecting Joe Mixon to
to just stroll in and to take
914
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:24,440
the job.
Right.
915
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,440
I don't know how much you've
been following Joe Mixon.
916
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,280
I really haven't.
I mean, I don't even know if
917
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:34,480
he's is he completely off of the
the Texans?
918
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:38,640
Is he still on the team?
Is he still rehabbing?
919
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,080
What happened?
I guess that's, that's a
920
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:46,200
question for for somebody else.
That's a question for Google or
921
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:51,600
ChatGPT.
But no, I, I, I definitely like
922
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,160
him here.
What do we have him here at 34?
923
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,040
You said?
I think that's very fair.
924
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:01,240
Good player, good situation
other than the the run blocking,
925
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,480
but good price you can get him
at too.
926
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,840
He's he's not a guy that has the
arrow pointing completely up.
927
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,320
People aren't excited about him,
but he he'll he'll definitely
928
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:13,680
be.
You know something you're not
929
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,200
going to mind as a bye week
starter?
930
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,480
No, absolutely.
Yeah, I, I think, yeah, I just
931
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,880
think when you have guys like
that that, you know, are going
932
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:24,640
to get the work and, and, you
know, are going into the
933
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,400
opportunity when, you know, when
a running back signs that type
934
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,760
of contract to go somewhere,
they have that insulation
935
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,680
already, you know, built in.
They're going to they're going
936
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,320
to be a part of that team.
Obviously you're bringing them
937
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,000
in for a reason.
And I think that's going to be a
938
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,920
good opportunity for him.
So it'll be fun to see it.
939
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,160
You know, obviously it was a
starter early in his career with
940
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,600
Chicago, so now he's got a
chance here later in his career.
941
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:52,040
Absolutely.
Well, moving into #35 and I, I
942
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,400
have, I actually have two
players in this spot.
943
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,440
It it's one that I can't call it
out.
944
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,720
I don't know, I, I don't follow
college football enough.
945
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,600
I'm going to wait.
I'm going to wait for the rookie
946
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,760
draft to happen in a couple of
weeks.
947
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:12,000
But in this spot right here, you
know, and depending on how good
948
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,800
the landing spot is, it's going
to be, it's got to be someone
949
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:20,120
like Jadarian Price or Jonah
Coleman that they're going to
950
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,680
land somewhere good.
It's not just Jeremiah Love
951
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,080
that's going to land in a good
spot.
952
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:29,040
Some running back, needy team,
maybe the Panthers if they all
953
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,080
the sudden get Jadarian Price.
Well, how do you feel about
954
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:36,760
Shuba Hubbard or Jonah Coleman
goes to Seattle?
955
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,840
Well, all of a sudden then I,
you know, maybe you start to
956
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,960
say, well, I might rather have
Jonah Coleman than Kenneth
957
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:48,080
Gainwell.
So from what we know today,
958
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,800
which we don't know where
they're landing, and we hear
959
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:57,240
that this class outside the top
players is, isn't that great for
960
00:54:57,240 --> 00:54:59,680
tentative rankings at this point
in time.
961
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,000
If you're wanting to play it
safe, I'm thinking you, you grab
962
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:08,760
one of these, you know, the RB2
or RB3 of this class or, and,
963
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:10,160
and I could be totally wrong
with that.
964
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,880
Maybe it's Mike Washington,
maybe he's the RB2.
965
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,720
I just, I don't know.
It's the NFL.
966
00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:16,800
They owe it.
So it makes it exciting and
967
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,360
surprising.
But for the sake of our draft,
968
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,440
I'll go 35.
I'm giving it a combo just like
969
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:28,240
that one MVP award.
It was that Steve McNair that he
970
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:30,840
he won the MVP.
It was a it was him.
971
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,560
And I'm trying to think it was
like a Co MVP award.
972
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:38,840
We'll have to look that one up.
I'm giving this number 35 spot
973
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,240
here to Jadarian Price and Jonah
Coleman.
974
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,280
Well, I'm going to have to, I'm
going to have to push back on
975
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,800
that a little bit because I'm
going to need one of them for
976
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:50,800
number 36.
So you got to pick one of those
977
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,080
guys.
You pick which one you want
978
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,360
because one of them are going to
be my 36.
979
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,400
All right then.
I think that sounds fair.
980
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,800
No no Co no Co MVPS right here
today.
981
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:06,360
No Co MVPS Oh no OK, well I'll
go with Jadarian price.
982
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:10,400
I, I, you know that that's half
of the point of this show is
983
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:16,800
that we consume a lot of dynasty
media and my hope of this show
984
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,440
is you just have to listen to 1
show.
985
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,840
Just list only listen to this
show and you're getting the very
986
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,880
best of the best of all that's
out there.
987
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:30,640
We chew it up, we spit it out.
And I, I see Jadarian Price
988
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:36,800
consistently ranked as the RB2
of the class and some saying
989
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,160
it's really just that because he
was behind Jeremiah Love.
990
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:44,200
That's really all that was
holding him back that he he
991
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,680
could have went elsewhere.
He could have been a starter, I
992
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:51,160
want to say in the startup I
and, and that's something we'll
993
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,560
we'll cover next week.
I did a startup over the last
994
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,040
week or so and we're just
finishing it up.
995
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,640
But he was the second rookie
running back taken to Darian
996
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,680
Price.
So there we go.
997
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:06,440
That's my coin flip, that's my
information, that's the media
998
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:10,280
I've heard, and I'm going to go
at Jadarian price at 35.
999
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,840
Yeah, I I really like that.
I do like that a lot.
1000
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,360
I think Genarian Price, and I
think I told you about it too a
1001
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,760
couple days ago.
If he gets in a really, really
1002
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,520
good landing spot, which is
definitely an opportunity.
1003
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,760
If he gets in a good landing
spot, I could see him being
1004
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:27,400
being now the the one O 4 in
rookie drafts.
1005
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:31,680
He can go way up the list
because if you look at him,
1006
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,240
obviously he wasn't a workhorse.
You're not going to be a
1007
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,240
workhorse when you're sharing
the backfield with Jeremiah
1008
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:37,240
Love.
We know that already.
1009
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,200
But if you just look past that,
the fact that he wasn't the
1010
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,960
workhorse, you see a lot of
upside, see a lot of upside in
1011
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:44,440
his game.
He can, he, he can make big
1012
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,560
plays, man.
He can make big plays.
1013
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:47,920
He can produce.
And if he's given the
1014
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,160
opportunity to be a, a, a
starting running back somewhere
1015
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:55,880
and a decent opportunity, I
think, yeah, I, I think we have
1016
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:57,720
a chance to see someone that
could really put up some good
1017
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,520
numbers.
And with all the talk of
1018
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,400
Jeremiah Love, and rightfully
so, he's an outstanding player.
1019
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,960
He's going to be possibly a top
five pick coming up here in a
1020
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:09,240
couple weeks.
Don't sleep on Jadarian Price.
1021
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,600
He's he's a guy that if he is it
put in a situation where he can
1022
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,800
be the main guy.
I think we're going to be pretty
1023
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,480
excited to see what we can we
can get from him.
1024
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:21,200
And then #36 to round out the
the final RB 3 here, Jonah
1025
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,360
Coleman very similar, You know,
it just comes down the landing
1026
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,400
spot.
We we with him.
1027
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,400
He, he's a, he's a prostyle type
running back.
1028
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,640
He's got good size.
He's been, he was a productive
1029
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,000
running back on 20/24.
He had a really good season in,
1030
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,400
in college.
He had 1000 yards, 1053 yards,
1031
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,600
5.5 yards were carrying 10 S
sounds for Washington.
1032
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:44,520
I just think when you look at
him and his size and his ability
1033
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:49,360
to, to handle that load, it's
very similar to the price.
1034
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:50,960
You know, it's going to be
landing spot.
1035
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,040
He definitely benefits from this
RB class being very thin.
1036
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,120
So he could possibly be a day to
pick.
1037
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,320
And now you're looking at a guy
that, you know, you weren't
1038
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,280
really talking about last week,
but now you're talking about
1039
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,360
now, you know, So what what
really, really comes down to his
1040
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,000
landing spot.
That's what that's what's going
1041
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,440
to come down to in a lot of
these rookies that we talked
1042
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:11,400
about the last several weeks.
Even the receivers, you know,
1043
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,640
the landing spots are so
important for these guys.
1044
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,720
Jeremiah Love, honestly, yeah,
he might be the only one where
1045
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,560
you're not too concerned about
landing spot.
1046
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,640
As you can see he's been getting
picked sometime one O 8 one O 9
1047
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,080
and startups.
Obviously there's not too much
1048
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:29,280
concern about his landing spot.
But now there's there's talent
1049
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,840
here, there's talent here. 58220
General Coleman Coleman that's
1050
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,360
good size.
That's really good size for a
1051
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,720
guy that can come into this
league and and handle a
1052
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,440
workload.
I'm excited to see where he gets
1053
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:43,320
drafted and this drafts going to
be so important for these RB 3
1054
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,680
rankings and and some of our
other rankings too that we've
1055
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:47,480
done in the last couple couple
months.
1056
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:53,480
Absolutely, absolutely.
You know Vikings, that's another
1057
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,240
team.
All the sudden a day 2 running
1058
00:59:56,240 --> 01:00:01,400
back lands there and hopefully a
Round 2 running back, not a late
1059
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:07,280
3rd compensatory pick.
And but yeah, no, there's,
1060
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,600
there's a, there's a handful of
good options out there.
1061
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:13,680
And a guy like Jonah Coleman
with that kind of bowling bill,
1062
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:18,200
bowling ball size 58220.
You know, anybody has 58220,
1063
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,440
that's a, that's a pretty chunky
person.
1064
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,400
And then especially you imagine
that like this person is fast
1065
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,960
and athletic, yeah, you're not
going to they're going to be
1066
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:31,520
dealing some of that pain.
But yeah, that brings us to our
1067
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,840
list here.
And I think, yeah, no, I guess
1068
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,480
we can.
I'll have you cover the list
1069
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,760
here.
And next week we talked about it
1070
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,920
a little bit here because we're
at about an hour the startup I
1071
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,360
just did.
We're going to go over the the
1072
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,920
different rounds, pick out a
handful of players that stuck
1073
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,560
out to us.
This is a 12 team PPR tight end
1074
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,960
premium league and I believe
it's a start 10 league.
1075
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:03,960
So it's pretty standard across
the rankings on and we'll pick
1076
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,200
out some of the things we
thought that were interesting.
1077
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:12,000
It's a popular format and we'll
see see where the players landed
1078
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,040
and make some commentary.
And that way if you have a draft
1079
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,240
coming up, you have at least
somewhat of an idea if there's a
1080
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:19,720
favorite player where they're
going.
1081
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,200
Oh, absolutely, yeah.
Definitely look forward to
1082
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,560
discussing that startup draft.
I know there was a lot of action
1083
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:27,640
going on that draft.
I know you were, you know,
1084
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:31,440
scouring the trade block there
throughout the draft, but
1085
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:32,960
that'll be, that'll be fun to
talk about.
1086
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,080
All right, so our RB 3 rankings,
we had #25 we had Zach
1087
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:41,440
Charbonnette 26.
We had Menungai 27, Dobbins 28,
1088
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:46,840
Blake Quorum 29, Rico Dow 30,
his teammate Jalen Warren 31,
1089
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:51,880
Kenny Gainwell 32, Tyler Algier,
33, Tuba Hubbard 34, David
1090
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:55,640
Montgomery, and then we had the
2 rookie incoming rookies here
1091
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:59,240
to round it out, 35 Price and 36
was Jonah Coleman.
1092
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,560
That is our RB3 list.
And yeah, that was fun.
1093
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:04,760
I will let you close it out this
week, Tecmo.
1094
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:06,560
It's been, it's been awesome.
Been awesome.
1095
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:08,320
Talking football again as
always.
1096
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,280
Yeah, absolutely.
Fun time.
1097
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:13,600
I agree.
It's been a it's been a great
1098
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:16,280
time.
It's becoming a more fun time of
1099
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,960
the year that you got people in
your leagues that they they got
1100
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:20,880
nothing to say to you in
February.
1101
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,800
They can't really get back on
the trade.
1102
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,160
You look at how active they are.
They're not that active.
1103
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,400
Well, now it's rookie draft
time.
1104
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:33,720
Now it's dynasty startup time.
There's things to talk about and
1105
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,120
there's reason to be excited.
So no, once again, thank
1106
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:40,000
everybody that does listen for
listening.
1107
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,400
I I hope you enjoy it.
Weapon X and I, we enjoy doing
1108
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:44,320
this.
That's why we do it.
1109
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:51,160
Zeal sound isn't paying us any
bills just yet, but next week
1110
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,840
we'll do that startup.
So I'll I'll wish everybody
1111
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:55,400
well.
Have a great week, and we'll
1112
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,360
talk to you next week with some
startup insight.
