Superflex Dynasty League Rookie Draft First Round Recap

1
00:00:11,390 --> 00:00:16,550
Hello and welcome back to Lab
52, a dynasty football podcast.

2
00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:20,630
I'm one of your hosts, the Tecmo
Weave, joined as always by my Co

3
00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:24,910
host Weapon X.
Once again, this is not dynasty

4
00:00:24,910 --> 00:00:30,280
advice, this is dynasty insight.
Before we get started, today,

5
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,360
Weapon X and I talked and
today's going to be a really

6
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,280
serious episode of Lab 52.
You know, we're going to have

7
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,640
some some difficult
conversations regarding the

8
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:48,360
draft because in order to be
successful on and off of this

9
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,880
podcast, both Weapon X and I
have to make good decisions.

10
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,720
And that includes us, starts
with us, and we take

11
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,880
accountability for the insight
that we provide.

12
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,920
No, I, I'm just joking around
here at Mike Vrabel's expense.

13
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,440
We talked about this before,
man.

14
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,640
It's quite a way to spin, you
know, a potential cheating

15
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,200
scandal on your wife.
He he claimed that he had some

16
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,040
difficult conversations with the
people he cares about, his

17
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,480
family, the organization,
coaches and players.

18
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,320
Those have been positive and
productive.

19
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,680
I don't know if your wife would
agree with that, Like, oh, that

20
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,640
was a real positive conversation
about what you were doing at

21
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,400
that private hotel or wherever
you were at.

22
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,880
Oh, man, yeah, yeah, I don't
think that would be a, a

23
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,040
conversation that many people
would want to have.

24
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,360
But yeah, getting back to the
the, the real point of this

25
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,320
podcast, dynasty fantasy
football.

26
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,400
Yeah, it's it's a serious
conversation, but not in

27
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,120
reality.
All jokes aside, this is this is

28
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,920
where a lot of a lot of teams
can make or break their upcoming

29
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,720
season.
You know, a lot of teams are,

30
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,760
are either they're rebuilding
or, or they're trying to make a

31
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,199
move within a rookie draft to,
to add some value to their team.

32
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,160
They're the rookie drafts are so
important.

33
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,440
And obviously we just watched
the NFL draft and you know, so

34
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,480
many players dreams coming true.
It's just so cool to see, you

35
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,920
know, the reactions on their
faces.

36
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:22,560
It's it's awesome to watch.
But those organizations are

37
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,680
making important picks for their
dynasty, for their franchises,

38
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,480
just that just as we are making
important picks for our dynasty

39
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,600
teams.
It's always a fun time of the

40
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,200
year and there's a lot of action
happening now.

41
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,080
Absolutely, Absolutely.
Yeah.

42
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,520
I know before we get started
today and, and today's topic is

43
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,280
we're going to, we're going to
cover the, you know, primarily a

44
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:50,680
first round of a rookie draft.
Your league, the one you run is

45
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,160
drafting today.
A lot of the, the more serious

46
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,360
leagues you, you want to draft
right away.

47
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,480
You don't, you don't want all
the, the pundits and the experts

48
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,880
telling you who to pick.
You want to pick first.

49
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,080
It, it, I think it makes it a
little bit more fun.

50
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:13,560
But I, I had two, 2 owners and a
couple different leagues tell me

51
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,000
the same thing yesterday and it
just, it blew my mind and I

52
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,320
wasn't sure.
Well, maybe this is just a draft

53
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,800
negotiation talk.
You know, people say things,

54
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,160
I've said things.
What did I call Chris Bell?

55
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,080
I, I said he was the only
noteworthy receiver that was

56
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,840
drafted to Miami.
And that's because I have him

57
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,360
that that's why he's the only
noteworthy wide receiver.

58
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,400
So, but yeah, they both said the
same thing.

59
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,440
They were, you know, we were
talking about some late 1st in

60
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,320
this year's draft.
And I'm saying all those are

61
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,720
kind of more of a, a, a throw in
asset.

62
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,120
I, I don't know if I'm going to
go out of my way to dry, you

63
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,560
know, give something of a high
value for those picks.

64
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,680
And they said, well, any first
this year is worth of first next

65
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,760
year plus more.
So if you have the 19 and, and

66
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:14,640
you're looking at Omar Cooper,
that that's worth of 1st 27

67
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:20,079
first plus more, you're at 1/10
1:11 and you're looking at Ty

68
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:23,040
Simpson.
Now that's a that's a 27 first

69
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,200
plus extra.
And, and I just thought it was,

70
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,120
it was absurd.
What?

71
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:32,400
What's your take on that?
Yeah, I mean, obviously there

72
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,760
are there were some really good
landing spots for some of the

73
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,640
early first round picks in these
dynasty rookie drafts.

74
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,000
But when it comes to later in
the round, and we talked about

75
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,240
this several weeks back, it it
seemed like when you got to like

76
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,920
the 1819, it starts to get
thinner as far as how

77
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,160
comfortable you are picking a
player like that as opposed to

78
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,480
taking the 2027 first said,
yeah, I mean, I, I, I think,

79
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:03,960
yeah, I, I, I don't think it's a
blanket statement to say any

80
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,560
2026 first round or equals a
2027 first rounder.

81
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,000
I, I don't see how that could be
the case when, yeah, it's a year

82
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,360
out.
And obviously we don't know

83
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,800
exactly where these players are
going to go to, what teams are

84
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,920
going to go to next year.
But we know the class and we

85
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,440
know the, the depth in this
class coming up here in 2027.

86
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,680
And we know the, the elite level
talent that we're going to see

87
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,240
entering the draft.
And there's a lot, there's a lot

88
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,840
of teams dynasty rosters that
are jockeying for more picks

89
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:35,040
next year because the
opportunity to to land some of

90
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,920
these prospects is, is really
exciting.

91
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,640
Yeah, the 2027 draft over
overall, you know, as a whole,

92
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,320
it's, it's been known for quite
a while that that is going to be

93
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,960
a much better class than 2026.
It doesn't mean you're not going

94
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,960
to end up with a really good
player here in this rookie

95
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,760
draft.
Doesn't mean that just you're

96
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,080
going to have much more
opportunity in next year's

97
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,760
draft.
And you know, I, I personally,

98
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:04,120
when you get to 18108 in these
drafts coming up here, yeah,

99
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,440
we'll talk about it coming up
here soon.

100
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,080
But once you get to one O 8, it
starts to get uncomfortable for

101
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,280
me.
It gets to the point where I'd

102
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:15,400
rather have 2027 first.
It start having difficult

103
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,240
conversations with yourself,
yeah.

104
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,320
Yeah.
But but The thing is that's

105
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,280
interesting about those those
statements.

106
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,280
Yeah, obviously everyone values
their picks differently.

107
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,440
Everyone has different view of
future classes.

108
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,920
It it also could just be right.
We're right here, right now in

109
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,280
the moment, we're on the clock,
we're picking players that are

110
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:37,120
currently known, going to a
known team, all these things.

111
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,760
So that could elevate the value
of those players specifically.

112
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,560
But I mean, you, you have to
trust the talent, you have to

113
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,720
trust the evaluations.
I mean, we we've been hearing it

114
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,120
for a long time.
This 2027 class is really good

115
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,760
and really deep.
So you know, I think you just

116
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,680
got to stick to what to what you
know and what you know is this

117
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,960
class coming out. 2027 classes
is 1 you want to be a part of.

118
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,240
I think that's fair, that's
absolutely fair.

119
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:09,120
And you have to look at the
players that are available at

120
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,680
face value and and what
situation they're stepping into

121
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,120
and ask yourself if this was
November, this is middle of

122
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,560
November and you have a first
round pick.

123
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,440
Is this what you want to give it
up for?

124
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,560
You want to give it up for the
wide receiver for in Cleveland?

125
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,760
Is that what you want?
Like, no, no, I I don't think

126
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,480
many people would say that that
would make a lot of sense.

127
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,760
But we're going to use your
draft here and we're not going

128
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,400
to spend a lot of time on the
11.

129
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,560
That's kind of pointless.
And we're going to use this just

130
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:49,360
as I guess, kind of an outline,
but I would tend to think that

131
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,680
these are pretty much the
players that are going to go in

132
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,120
many first rounds.
As we said, this isn't in deep

133
00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:01,240
class, but I liked the top of
the draft, the first five

134
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,320
players first.
I'll even say the first six

135
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,440
players.
I was excited about those

136
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,480
players.
I felt like, you know, I'd, I'd

137
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,080
be willing to give a first plus
for about the first six players.

138
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,280
After that, as you said, my
interest starts to wane.

139
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,400
But in your draft here, we had
one, one Jeremiah Love.

140
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,800
There isn't a whole lot to say.
You know, the comps that are out

141
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,320
there, Bijan, Saquon Barkley,
all the analytic scores, you

142
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:38,039
know, some, I, I saw Acbs
broadcast team talking about

143
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:42,720
Price versus Love and they were
all saying the same thing.

144
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,960
And I'll get your take on it.
They were all saying they

145
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,160
believe that Jadarian Price will
statistically have a better

146
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,240
season his rookie year than
Jeremiah Love.

147
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,760
What, what, What do you think
about that?

148
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,240
Yeah, yeah.
I, I think, I mean, it really,

149
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,160
it really comes down to workload
with any of these guys, no

150
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,960
matter what.
Workload is going to be the most

151
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,200
important, important aspect when
you're talking about who's going

152
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,000
to produce more.
Does Jadarian Price have a

153
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,240
chance to exceed Jeremiah Love's
workload?

154
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,600
I don't know, man, I really
don't know.

155
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,960
I know, I know there's really
good running back depth in

156
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,160
Arizona right now.
Are they going to run Jordan

157
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,600
Love, Jeremiah Love into the
ground right away?

158
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,640
He's on his rookie contract and
they picked up #3 overall, I

159
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,240
would have a hard time thinking
they're going to ease him in.

160
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,280
I mean, he's going to be the the
focal point of that offense is

161
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,600
going to be the talking point of
the whole entire offseason for

162
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,680
that heading into training camp
and into the season.

163
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,120
I don't know.
I am very, very, very excited

164
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,080
about Price's landing spot.
I think that really it

165
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,160
lengthened the first round here
for the for the rookie draft.

166
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,880
They gave more options to pick
from in my opinion, because

167
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,360
Genarian Price, if he doesn't
land in Seattle, is he going to

168
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,280
be a first round rookie picking
these drafts?

169
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,720
Maybe not.
You know, we don't know where

170
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,720
he'd be.
So that's a good part.

171
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,400
But I, I think Jeremiah love my
opinion.

172
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,440
I believe he will give in full
health for both players.

173
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,280
I think he's just going to get
more work and I think he'll

174
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,280
he'll out produce Genarian
Price.

175
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,960
But it would not be surprised me
to see Genarian Price end the

176
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,240
season as a potential RP 2.
Yeah, the I think the point they

177
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,000
were trying to make was that the
workload will be split.

178
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,600
In Arizona you have Tyler
Algier.

179
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,400
He's certainly a competent RB2.
He just has, as they say as some

180
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,680
of the worst luck getting boxed
out.

181
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:42,040
All he did is have 1000 yards as
a rookie and and nobody cares.

182
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,840
And he's relegated to being a
backup for the rest of his

183
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,440
career.
And then you have more, you

184
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,520
know, you have Jacoby Brusetta
quarterback versus, you know,

185
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,160
say what you want or what people
will say, Sam Darnold is a Super

186
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,080
Bowl winning quarterback.
He's competent and capable

187
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,080
enough to lead his team to the
Super Bowl.

188
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,960
And that's not a individual
accomplishment.

189
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,000
That's a team accomplishment.
But quarterback is a pretty

190
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,560
important part of that team.
Better offensive line, better

191
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:19,600
passing game, better defense and
less competition from the

192
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:24,760
running backroom, You know,
Emmanuel Wilson, George Helani,

193
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,080
you know, versus Tyler Algier.
And I still like Trey Benson.

194
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,120
I'm I'm going to go down with
that ship.

195
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:38,080
I want Trey Benson to get a shot
and not just a shot of some sort

196
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,920
of like numbing, numbing cream
for his injuries.

197
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,800
I want to see him get an
opportunity somewhere, if it's

198
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,440
not in Arizona elsewhere to to
play a meaningful role because

199
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,720
when he's been given a chance,
he's produced.

200
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,760
He just hasn't been able to stay
on the field.

201
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,880
So but that's Jeremiah Love.
I just thought that that was

202
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,360
interesting that the whole panel
was all saying to Jerry and

203
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,960
Price will have statistically a
better year.

204
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,920
So I guess we'll have to wait
and see #2 in your league's

205
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,520
rookie draft was a guy that at
least some of the analysts would

206
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:21,040
say was overdrafted here.
Because you can't look at it's

207
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,120
for man Fernando Mendoza.
Can't look at Fernando Mendoza

208
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,720
and say, well, it's a superflex
league, quarterbacks are

209
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,840
valuable.
So we're going to pretend he's

210
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,280
Joe Burrow.
You can't do that.

211
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,160
You have to look at who he's
kind of comped to and they're

212
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:44,080
saying it's more of a golf
somewhere in that range.

213
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,120
And I mean, that wouldn't be bad
if you had a high end golf year.

214
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,520
But he's not.
He's not supposed to be Jane

215
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,400
Daniels.
He is not Drake May and he's a

216
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,240
player that may be in a redraft
league will go in the sixth

217
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:05,200
round.
So taking him here at 1-2, the

218
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:10,720
second pick of the first round
on most, most analysts will say

219
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,440
that that was you.
You drafted him on that was that

220
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,440
was incorrect.
And they also say you should

221
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,600
never draft for need, which I
think it's kind of a hit, hit

222
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,200
and miss advice.
But what do you think about

223
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,440
seeing Fernando Mendoza go out
1/2?

224
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,400
Yeah, I mean, that was obviously
the first surprise of the draft

225
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,880
here.
I I wasn't anticipating that to

226
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,560
be the case.
I think if you're going to take

227
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:39,200
Fernando, Fernando Mendoza this
high, you also need to look into

228
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,480
and, and, and he, he may have
looked into this.

229
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,160
You need to look into trading
down a couple spots because he

230
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,480
he's most likely going to be
there still one O 4, one O 5 in

231
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,440
a majority of drafts.
And if by chance he's not,

232
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,560
you're still picking up
tremendous value with any of his

233
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:56,440
picks because I I just think
you're leaving too much value on

234
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,480
the board for your dynasty
roster when you're when you're

235
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,720
drafting Mendoza a few spots
higher than his rookie ADP would

236
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,400
be.
Yeah, I mean, I, I really think,

237
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,840
yeah, I've heard the cops have
got golf and and Jordan love

238
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,160
those types of comparisons on
those types of upsides.

239
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,240
And if he ends up being one of
those quarterbacks, that's

240
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,560
totally fine.
I mean, that's a, that's a back

241
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,040
end QB 1QB2 and and fantasy
football, it's no problem with

242
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,560
that at all.
But when you're drafted one O 2,

243
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,560
you have a chance to draft a guy
who can be, you know, you can

244
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,840
draft Jordan Tyson, Carnell
Tate, a player who can be in the

245
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,560
top 10 to 15 dynasty wide
receiver and wide receiver

246
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,440
values.
Obviously they're they're the

247
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,240
position that holds value the
longest of any position in

248
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,080
dynasty football.
So when you have a chance to

249
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,240
draft a top tier talent at
receiver, I think you got to do

250
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,240
it.
I just think you do.

251
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,280
So I think the main thing here
is value was left off the board.

252
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,080
Value was left on the board here
for the number two pick.

253
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,000
In my opinion, Fernando.
Fernando could be a very, very

254
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,360
solid NFL quarterback, but I
just think you left value on the

255
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,520
board.
Exactly, exactly.

256
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,640
I mean, I guess you can say it's
a safe pick, right?

257
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,480
It's it's not a, it's not a
risky pick.

258
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,240
He didn't take.
Hi Simpson #2.

259
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,840
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's a safe pick.

260
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,640
But then again, you you're going
to have to be patient because

261
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,840
you may not even see him.
I mean, you might not even see

262
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,080
him produce results for at least
half a season his first year.

263
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,520
So if you needed him at all this
season, it it's not going to be

264
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,920
something you're going to be
able to be able to rely on right

265
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,920
away.
Kirk Cousins is going to most

266
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,960
likely be starting the season.
I don't think he'll end the

267
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,400
season as a starter, but if
Fernando Mendoza was a player

268
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,240
you're relying on, it's going to
be 2027 and not to see.

269
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:59,240
Exactly, exactly.
I mean, it's a luxury pick and

270
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,800
it's, I mean 27 is supposed to
be a quarterback heavy class,

271
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,520
but you never know when those
are going to fall your way.

272
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,400
So I guess if you have the
chance, you take it, you get a

273
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,760
quarterback, you get the number
one pick in the draft, They have

274
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:17,680
the the the most leash given to
them to produce.

275
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,880
And I don't know, it certainly
feels like the arrow is pointing

276
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:29,040
out for the Las Vegas Raiders
and number 13, Jordan Tyson, he

277
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:34,120
went number 13.
I thought it was a given that it

278
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,480
was Carnell Tate that that he
has the clearest path to being

279
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,840
the number one wide receiver on
his team, the least amount of

280
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,800
competition.
There's no injury specific

281
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,840
injury concerns about Carnell
Tate.

282
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,280
They do say that the ceiling may
be the highest for Jordan Tyson,

283
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:58,520
but he also has a Crystal Lave
across from him and he has no

284
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,960
better of a quarterback throwing
it to him.

285
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,319
Tyler Shaw versus Cam Ward.
Yeah, I don't think we can

286
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:08,520
really draw the line there.
So I don't know.

287
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,760
How did you feel about Jordan
Tyson going at 1 three over

288
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,240
Carnell Tate?
Maybe we'll kind of combine

289
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,000
these two picks.
Yeah, I honestly was very

290
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,200
surprised, first of all, that
Carnell Tate was not drafted at

291
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,920
1:02, but 103.
I can see the I can understand

292
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,080
why you would go Jordan Tyson.
I mean, the, the, the upside is

293
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,200
through the roof.
I mean, we, we see, we see what

294
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,280
he, you see the film.
This guy's unbelievable.

295
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,000
Obviously with his injury
history, you want to see that.

296
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,520
You want to obviously see him
enter the NFL on a clean bill of

297
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,920
health and just be able to get
through a season here and and

298
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,360
play well.
He's going to be opposite

299
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,760
Crystal Ave.
I think that's an exciting duo.

300
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,120
They're they're forming here.
I like the landing spot a lot.

301
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:53,400
I think of all the players that
we're going to be talking about

302
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:58,560
here today, he he may have had
my favorite landing spot just

303
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,680
because I think with Kellen
Moore, a head coach, he develops

304
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,880
quarterbacks very well.
He he's had offenses that

305
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,480
produce multiple, you know, wide
receiver, one wide receiver

306
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,360
twos.
I think I saw a stat a couple

307
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:16,920
days ago in his seven years and
Callum Moore is 7 years as a

308
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:22,000
coordinator or head coach, he
has produced 10 wide receiver,

309
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,840
one per week type seasons and
man that that's pretty strong.

310
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,760
Ten of them in seven seasons.
So I think obviously Crystal Lab

311
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,520
is there.
We know he's the guy right now,

312
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,560
but that's not a bad situation.
I think I really, really like

313
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:36,960
the landing spot for Jordan
Tyson.

314
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,640
Yeah, for me, it's tough.
It's it's it's tough.

315
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:46,600
I think Carnell Tate, honestly,
I think immediate production

316
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,520
right off the bat, I think
that's the guy.

317
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,360
That's the that's the one O 2.
But Jordan Tyson, exciting

318
00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:58,720
prospect, you know, 62200, he's
got good size and yeah, I think

319
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,880
I think you're going to see some
some good things from him.

320
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,640
Just he just has to stay out.
But he's a he's an exciting,

321
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:10,800
exciting prospect.
Yeah, I know there were some

322
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,000
really killer landing spots this
year.

323
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,040
New Orleans, that was terrific.
Tennessee, that that wasn't too

324
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,160
bad.
Philly for Makai Lemon.

325
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,440
I know on the surface maybe that
doesn't doesn't sound excellent,

326
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,960
but it isn't bad and the writing
is on the wall.

327
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,360
That pretty much means A.J.
Brown is gone.

328
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,240
But we've seen this happen in
the NFL.

329
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,920
There's always a surprise.
Maybe A.J.

330
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,200
Brown sticks around and they
trade him next year.

331
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,000
So you may be holding the bag on
a Makai lemon for a year.

332
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,080
I would say at absolute most
worst case situation, but it

333
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,920
seems like that would be
unlikely.

334
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,680
But I I did like the
Philadelphia landing spot,

335
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,520
Tennessee, New Orleans.
Those were terrific.

336
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,840
Seattle for Jajarian Price,
while some of the other players,

337
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:06,320
you know, they you know who's a
Kenyan Siddique got a Mike Mayer

338
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,200
or he he did the Mike Mayer
ring.

339
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:16,120
You know, Brock Bauer's he took
out Taylor in New York.

340
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,680
So.
I don't know, it can always be

341
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:24,000
worse and Jordan Tyson at 3,
Carnal Tate at 4I I, I happen to

342
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,240
be the team getting him at
Carnal Tate at four.

343
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,960
I was certainly surprised and I
was very happy with that.

344
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:35,400
And I took Carnal Tate and and
#5 being a Eagles fan and you

345
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,720
get to hear some of the hometown
media.

346
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,840
What what are folks hopes about
Makai Lemon?

347
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,880
Are they scared that Hertz he
doesn't throw the ball enough?

348
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:47,920
You know, maybe I was only going
to do 22 pass attempts in the

349
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:48,960
game.
Where is that going to leave

350
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,520
Mackay Lemon?
But historically though the wide

351
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,720
receiver floors for both
Philadelphia wide receivers when

352
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,200
it's been A.J.
Brown and Devante Smith, you

353
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,920
have kind of this wide receiver
two floor.

354
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,960
So I personally am not afraid
having Makai Lemon there and

355
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:13,120
analytically he was certainly he
was in the top 2 wide receivers

356
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:16,400
depending on what you would look
at analytically in this class.

357
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:21,000
Yeah, 100% Philadelphia.
You know, by all counts, A.J.

358
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,360
Brown is going to be on New
England Patriot about a month

359
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:27,440
here.
So obviously the Eagles went

360
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,680
into this draft knowing they
need to try to make a make a

361
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,600
play out of receiver.
They weren't in a specific spot

362
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,040
to get the guy they wanted.
So they traded up and I know you

363
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,480
everyone's seen it by now.
Pittsburgh was they called

364
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,800
Mikhailan.
They had they had him on the

365
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,880
phone prepared to take him.
And then all of a sudden the

366
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,760
Eagles are calling Mikhailam.
And he's like, why are they

367
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,320
calling?
And it's because Eagles draft,

368
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,000
they flew right up there off the
board there and they drafted

369
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Mikhailam right ahead of the
Steelers.

370
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,440
So huge, huge move for
Philadelphia.

371
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,960
You know, they ought to replace
AJ Brown's production.

372
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,920
You we can't expect him to
produce A.J.

373
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,000
Brown level right away.
But I think long term this is

374
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,920
really nice.
This is really nice spot for him

375
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,960
playing alongside Devante Smith.
They they're going to form a

376
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,800
really good duo.
I think with the Eagles, their

377
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,520
passing game being so, you know,
concentrated, concentrated on

378
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,880
specific players.
It's not so spread apart.

379
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,480
You know, you got Dallas
Goddard, A.J.

380
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,640
Brown, Devante Smith.
That's what we've had for the

381
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,720
last few years, you know, and
now Makai Lemon, by all

382
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,680
accounts, will slot right in
there as one of those

383
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,800
concentrated targets.
They do have a Dante V Wicks.

384
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,640
They've got other guys they
brought in this offseason.

385
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,600
But I think this trade clearly
meant that they view Makai Lemon

386
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,200
as a a guy that can really slot
in there and and fill the void

387
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,840
that they're about to lose from
A.J.

388
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,440
Brown.
No, there's a lot of excitement

389
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,520
for this for this draft pick
here.

390
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,920
There's a lot of a lot of
excitement for what they did

391
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,720
overall in the draft.
But yeah, I think this this is a

392
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,480
good move and it's really good
for him and his long term

393
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,240
dynasty value.
I think it's a good it's a good

394
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,720
spot, very good spot for for
Lemon and I'm excited to see

395
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,880
what he can do.
It's going to be it's going to

396
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,000
be fun.
He's a flashy player and I think

397
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,160
the fans are going to really
like.

398
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,760
Absolutely, absolutely.
I'm excited for him.

399
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,800
It's a winning organization with
a good quarterback, good

400
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,560
leadership and that that kind of
makes it a prime spot.

401
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,320
Moving on to number six in this
draft.

402
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:31,520
KC Concepcion.
Not a player, I'll be honest,

403
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,520
not a player I know a lot about.
Not player.

404
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,720
I I did a whole lot of scouting
on initially.

405
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,120
I I like the landing spot.
Day one, I said, OK, cool,

406
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,480
Cleveland's got their guy and
and then all of a sudden they

407
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,760
got Denzel Boston.
And then I said, well, how am I

408
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,160
supposed to know?
How am I supposed to know who's

409
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,920
going to get the targets?
You still have Harold Fannin and

410
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,120
you didn't solve the quarterback
situation and you have a

411
00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:59,880
competent running back in Quinch
on Jugkins.

412
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:07,160
Because we've seen this before.
We we, we've seen, you know, the

413
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,560
Packers with their their tight
ends.

414
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,920
You got Tucker Craft and can't
even remember his name now, but

415
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,160
the the Titan was drafted the
same year right ahead of him.

416
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,120
Maybe you can come up with off
the top of your head and it was

417
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:26,160
Tucker Craft that, you know,
ended up being the Star or

418
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,880
Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews.
And Mark Andrews was drafted

419
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,400
after Hayden Hurst and it was
Mark Andrews.

420
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,160
So now we have these two wide
receivers that are drafted and

421
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,480
is it going to be Denzel Boston?
Is it going to be KC Concepcion?

422
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,720
And and they're saying that
Boston is supposedly it's going

423
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,240
to take a while for him to see
the field that he's he's behind

424
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,320
the depth chart behind Cedric
Tillman.

425
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,600
So I guess that puts conception
in ahead of him.

426
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,400
It's going to give him more
opportunities.

427
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,400
But you're still going to have
sure, Der Sanders throwing the

428
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,760
ball or maybe it's Dylan Gabriel
or maybe they bring back Joe

429
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,360
Flacco or Carson Wentz or they
just go and get somebody else.

430
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:13,960
It doesn't really matter.
I don't know, I was happy and

431
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,120
excited to see who might be the
the alpha target earner in

432
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:21,240
Cleveland, but now they added
two wide receivers.

433
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,840
Jerry Judy is still there.
It just feels like it's too

434
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,160
messy and the ceiling isn't high
enough.

435
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,400
It's a situation I'd want to
stay away from.

436
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,880
So at 1-6 here, I'm the 17 is
happy.

437
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,480
That's where Jadarian Price
went.

438
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,280
I I think the 1/6 here in this
draft should have clearly been

439
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,720
Chadarian Price, not a guy in a
messy situation.

440
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,360
What do you think?
Well, just for quick context

441
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:54,120
though, the 1/7 and 1/6 was the
same, same dynasty order.

442
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:57,240
So for him, he was planning on
getting both.

443
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,000
Yeah, yeah, he he was planning
on getting both.

444
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,880
OK.
Well, that that does matter.

445
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,560
That does matter.
You are correct.

446
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,400
So he could have, he could have
flipped him around.

447
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,920
I guess so.
OK, well, I, I think that that

448
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,480
makes me feel at least a little
bit better about it because

449
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,520
yeah, no, I guess I, I didn't
notice that at first year.

450
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,440
So if yeah, it, it makes a lot
more sense in that case if

451
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,000
you're going to the same owner
if, but if somebody went out of

452
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,200
their way, let's pretend
somebody went out of their way

453
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,720
to get Concepcion here, would
that would that make sense?

454
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,200
I'd say I have price over
conception.

455
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,080
So I I personally would say,
yeah, that was a mistake.

456
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,320
But conception, you know,
obviously when when he was

457
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,480
drafted, it was it was everyone
was like, man, this is great.

458
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,280
Look at that spot who no
competition.

459
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,280
And obviously, you know, 48
hours later, bold David Boston

460
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,960
is now on that team and now
there's you know, that's that's

461
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,560
two really good players are
bringing in.

462
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:55,120
But if you look at just the, the
the Longview of this for, for

463
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:58,440
this team, for Boston and
Conception together, I mean, if

464
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,280
you look at the 2027 draft, as
we mentioned a couple times

465
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,920
already, it is a very strong
quarterback class.

466
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,920
And the Browns in all
likelihood, they could be in the

467
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,640
mix to get one of these types of
quarterbacks.

468
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,000
So this is going to make their
outlook even stronger.

469
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,240
So I, I don't know, I think I, I
really think Conception is a

470
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,120
very explosive player.
He he, he can separate with,

471
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,320
with the best one.
I saw something earlier today,

472
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,520
it was the number and #1 in
success rate versus man coverage

473
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,640
#3 in success rate versus own
coverage, number one in success

474
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,000
rate versus press coverage.
He just, he just separates.

475
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,440
He's an absolute tremendous
player.

476
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,840
So I, I think the Browns saw a
potential, a potential target

477
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,200
hog that he could be and someone
that could just open up this

478
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,560
offense, something that they
haven't had for a long time.

479
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,920
So I I actually think I actually
think this is this is not a bad

480
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,240
spot for him.
I know Boston murky make makes

481
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,000
it a little murkier overall,
like right away, but I think

482
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,400
he's going to be the one that
that is ready to roll around.

483
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,240
I think Boston might take a
little longer to to cornbine a

484
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,320
role in that offense.
The draft capitals there for KC

485
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,920
yeah, I I think it's an exciting
player.

486
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,280
I'm really interested to see how
the Browns how they look this

487
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,000
year.
Quarterback situation.

488
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,720
Obviously it's a it's a training
camp battle.

489
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,480
We'll see who wins that one.
But it's really answer they're

490
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,480
building something good here.
They got a good running back.

491
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,240
They got tremendous receiver
core.

492
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,760
Now, Fannin's been, you know,
obviously had an amazing rookie

493
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,200
year and I'm really looking
forward to see what they'll do

494
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,080
at the quarterback position
going forward.

495
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,120
So for the dynasty outlook for
the both of those receivers, I

496
00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:40,160
think it's OK.
Yeah, I know it's the same

497
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,720
blueprint that The Jets are
using.

498
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,160
You're going to put all this
offensive talent out on the

499
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:51,280
field and you know, hopefully I
have someone competent sail the

500
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:56,560
ship next year in 2027 and give
them a shot to succeed versus

501
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,720
the teams that draft the star
quarterback and they're he and

502
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,200
they give them a Cam Ward
situation and you say, OK, Oh

503
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,360
boy, he didn't do really well
last year.

504
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:11,400
Maybe, you know, injuries in
every player is like one injury

505
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,440
away from having their career
altered.

506
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,160
And and you don't want to be
putting your all that money you

507
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,280
put into a first round pick and
having it go down the drain

508
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,680
because you don't surround them
with the right support or the

509
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:29,680
right supporting cast.
Yeah, I mean, at at 17, because,

510
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,400
granted, it's 16, but we'll get
to Jadarian Price.

511
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,920
This was the same owner.
Yeah.

512
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,400
I'm not sure really who else
you're supposed to take.

513
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,000
I just start to feel less good
about the picks at this range

514
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,080
when it's KC Concepcion.
I'm not.

515
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,200
I'm not getting my money back
right away.

516
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:53,600
I'm not excited about the player
year one when the situation is

517
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,160
like that.
Not that it can't be good, but I

518
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,080
start this, it's kind of the
breaking point where I start to

519
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:03,000
not feel good about it.
And the player that technically

520
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,360
went after him in our draft, but
he could have went before and he

521
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,320
should have went before.
It's Jadarian Price.

522
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:16,240
If if we put aside this draft,
this specific draft, and we're

523
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:21,280
from Nando Mendoza went 1-2 and
Jadarian Price went 17 so far,

524
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,240
what would the correct order be?
If we're saying Jordan Love is

525
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,240
1, I think we agree that Carnal
Tate should be two.

526
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,240
How does it play out after that?
Like where does where should

527
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,040
Fernando Mendoza have went and
where should Jadarian Price have

528
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,360
gone?
Yeah, for me and this, this

529
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,880
setup, you know, Superflex PPRII
would go.

530
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,320
I'm looking at it here.
I would say Fernando Mendoza one

531
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,560
O 6 is what I would say.
And then Jadaron Price, I would

532
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,440
probably have him at one O 4.
One O 4 to one O 5.

533
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,680
I'm OK in there.
I think right, right there.

534
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,080
One O 4 to one O 5, just because
that landing spot's so good.

535
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,120
One O 2 Tate, I'm good with
Tyson at three.

536
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,800
I am good with him there at
3:00.

537
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,720
And then, so then I would say
it'd be it'd be between Makai

538
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,200
Lemon and Jadaron Price for one
O 4.

539
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,600
And then the one that doesn't
get picked there would be the

540
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,200
one O 5.
That's how I would see it.

541
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,680
And then Mendoza would slot in
there one O 6.

542
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,080
OK, I think that's that's
absolutely fair.

543
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,040
And we've already covered
Jadarian Price.

544
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:35,800
So I mean, we don't need to to
rehash that topic, but you're

545
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,680
absolutely correct.
Him him getting selected even

546
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,640
though it's the last pick of the
first round certainly certainly

547
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:49,200
helped dynasty drafts.
They they get an extra year of

548
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,640
eligibility with him on his
rookie contract.

549
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,840
Statistically it bumps up the
chances of Jadarian Price being

550
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:01,240
a successful running back, at
least for a handful of seasons.

551
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,840
And for those players that play
in non PPR leagues, I think you,

552
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,880
you bumped Jadarian Price up
another you, you certainly can

553
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,920
bump him up into your top 4 if
you want to where where running

554
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,080
backs are king.
And it's such a shallow running

555
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:25,240
back class with some real, real
disappointing landing spots for

556
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,560
some of those other hopeful
running backs like Mike

557
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,880
Washington going to Las Vegas,
Ouch.

558
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,240
Jonah Coleman in Denver.
Yuck.

559
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,360
I sent you a message about I
mean he couldn't ask for worst

560
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,040
landing spots for some of these
players.

561
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,560
Like it literally is A2 running
back class.

562
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,760
You know, in reality for the for
dynasty, I mean, obviously

563
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,520
you're in the later rounds,
you're going to pick running

564
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,400
backs, but as far as the
relevant ones for this season

565
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,200
coming up and it it's two, I
mean that that just shows you

566
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,160
that this class doesn't have as
much depth overall as the one

567
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,000
we're going to see in 2027.
I can't I that like going back

568
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,440
to early conversation.
I want to have those 2027 picks

569
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:12,520
outside, outside of maybe the
1st 5 or 6 that we've talked

570
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,840
about here.
I will take any 2027 first

571
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,880
rounder.
That's what I, that's how,

572
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,800
that's how I feel about it
because I think there's just so

573
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:24,200
much more depth in the 2027
class that I don't, I'd much,

574
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,560
much rather be in a position to
draft to say one O 8 next year

575
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,120
as opposed to drafting Ty
Simpson this year.

576
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,880
I, I don't, I just don't think
there's a comparison.

577
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,840
I don't.
Absolutely, absolutely.

578
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,320
I mean, I think using our one
one O 8 here as an example,

579
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,000
granted, if you're in a tight
end premium league, it's a it's

580
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,120
a different game.
But even if you are everybody,

581
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,240
US included, we were all hyped
for Kenyan Siddiq.

582
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,560
That's who went at one O 8.
And I don't fault the team

583
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,960
picking them at one O 8.
Who else are you supposed to

584
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,360
take when you hear some of the
names that are leftover?

585
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:07,080
And but on face value, why would
I want to give a 27 first for

586
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,800
Kenyan Siddiq when Mason Taylor
is in the picture?

587
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,480
I'm not, so I'm not expecting
immediate production.

588
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,800
Mason Taylor was taken with a
high second round pick last

589
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,520
year.
It's not like he was just some,

590
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,560
you know, 5th, 6th round rookie
that just happened to fill in

591
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,280
and do OK.
And maybe he's, you know, in his

592
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,760
fifth, sixth year in the league
and he's, you know, learned the

593
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,480
position.
No, they invested a high pick in

594
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:39,440
him and now, now you have two
guys playing the same position

595
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,560
in a dysfunctional organization
waiting for the future.

596
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,400
Granted, they got Gino.
I mean, Gino can do OK, you

597
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,600
know, I don't think he's
completely washed up.

598
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,960
You know, if in a vacuum, who
would you rather have, Gino or

599
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,120
Jacoby Brissett?
I mean, for this specific

600
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,040
season, I would still go with
Jacoby Brissett.

601
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,880
Yeah, You know, for right now
this year.

602
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,920
Yeah, Jacoby Brissett.
Yeah, no, I guess I I'd say give

603
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,280
me Gino.
Gino's had some periods of

604
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,040
success where Jacoby percent
just reminds me of Jameis

605
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,680
Winston.
He just comes in there, he

606
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,160
chucks it a few, you know,
chucks it a few times and Gino's

607
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,360
LED some winning teams a couple.
Years ago.

608
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,920
You mean you're talking about
specifically winning football

609
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,800
games and not as not as far as
supporting dynasty receivers is

610
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,600
not what you're talking.
I'm talking about this year.

611
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,720
If you you know someone said OK,
you know, you put either of

612
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:40,960
those players in the same
situation, who would you rather

613
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,240
have, Geno Smith or Jacoby
Brissett?

614
00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:46,080
Who do you think has slightly
more left in the tank, more

615
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,960
talent overall?
I'd have to say it's Gino.

616
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,720
Yeah, it's just just seeing what
happened last year.

617
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:57,800
I wasn't good, man.
It was tough.

618
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,040
I'm not.
I mean, I'm not saying, I'm not

619
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,240
saying Jacoby Brissett is Joe
Montana.

620
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:06,480
No one's saying that, but just
based on last year, there was

621
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,840
one quarterback that was
producing and the other one was.

622
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,480
So that's it was for last year
at least.

623
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,120
But yeah, I I could see your
point heading in this heading

624
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,800
into this season.
Yeah, yeah, I know.

625
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,920
I'm, I'm holding on to hope that
he hasn't, he hasn't lost it

626
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,160
just yet, I mean.
When you get, when you're back

627
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,920
at The Jets for the second time,
maybe that maybe that's the

628
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,800
solution.
Maybe going to New York, NY Jets

629
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,360
the second time, maybe that's
the way you get better as a

630
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,440
player because the first time is
not really what happens.

631
00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:41,480
No, no, he had.
This is his homecoming and he's

632
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,600
going to show the world what
he's about.

633
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:49,360
So but Kenyan Sadiq at one O 8,
if you're in tight end premium,

634
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,760
you know, absolutely.
You know, I don't think I could

635
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,560
rank him even in tight end
premium.

636
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,960
I don't want to rank him a whole
lot higher than any of the

637
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:04,240
players we've already named just
due to the poor situation.

638
00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:07,840
I don't see, it's not like Eli
Stowers where you can say, OK, I

639
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,480
see it.
He just has to sit out a year

640
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,320
and it makes sense and he's gone
to a good organization.

641
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,480
Now he's going to a poor
organization with competition

642
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,920
and we don't know who the
quarterback is going to be.

643
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,280
And to assume that a rookie's
just going to come in, even a a

644
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,120
highly rated rookie and they're
just going to they're just going

645
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,480
to mop it up there.
It'll be all pro.

646
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,280
No, that can take 2-3 years.
It can take more.

647
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,640
And by that time, some of these
players, they've signed, Garrett

648
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,080
Wilson, moves on.
Players get injured, players

649
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:43,560
retire the House of Cards that
they're building for the future

650
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,240
that can easily collapse really
fast.

651
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:50,480
So disappointing for Kenyan
City.

652
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:57,160
Maybe his talent will shine
through or or or he won't have

653
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:01,800
the opportunity as he'll be, you
know, there's a lot of a lot of

654
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,560
targets being drawn in other
places.

655
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:11,040
So, and it brings us to our next
New York Jet in this league.

656
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,960
Omar Cooper went one one O 9.
So now you got 2 rookies on the

657
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,200
same team, Mason Taylor, Garrett
Wilson, and you still have

658
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,840
Breeze Hall and we're all kind
of playing for the future.

659
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,560
I mean, it might be kind of a
fun team to watch until, you

660
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,040
know, if Gino stays healthy and
doesn't make a lot of mistakes

661
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,280
and they don't just decide to
hand the keys over to some

662
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,880
random rookie quarterback
because they're not winning

663
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:40,800
games, which may actually be the
goal to to tank out the rest of

664
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:41,880
the season.
I don't know.

665
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:48,320
But Omar Cooper here at one O 9.
I'm not really sure who else

666
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,200
you're supposed to pick when
these are the names on the

667
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,480
board.
I mean, I guess maybe I would

668
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:58,080
have said when I see who we have
left, I like Eli Stowers here

669
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,320
more.
You know, I'm not going to take,

670
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,320
you know, why do I want to take
the the shot on the wide

671
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:11,360
receiver 2 on The Jets that
just, you know, at least when I

672
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,080
can say, OK, I'll get the tight
end one in Philly in probably a

673
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:20,160
year, potentially this year.
Yeah, yeah.

674
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,720
I mean, man, it's very
unfortunate that both of these

675
00:39:23,720 --> 00:39:28,840
players went to The Jets.
I mean, I, I wouldn't even want

676
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,960
any of them going to The Jets to
begin with, but both of them

677
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,600
going there, I mean, this it's
that's tough.

678
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,800
That's really tough.
Really was excited to see the

679
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,200
landing spots for these players
too.

680
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,320
But when I saw them both go to
the same exact team and you

681
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,520
think about it, how often is it
in the NFL?

682
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,360
Doesn't I mean, regardless of
what team it is, it could be the

683
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:47,360
Rams.
It doesn't matter.

684
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:52,120
How often do you see three
fantasy relevant receiving

685
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:56,160
targets on the same team?
It just you just don't see it.

686
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:57,920
You just don't see it very
often.

687
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,920
And you don't expect that to
happen with the New York Jets.

688
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,360
So let's be realistic.
Going into the season, this is

689
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,160
this is really hard to to expect
a whole lot from either of these

690
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,440
players.
One of them could come for sure

691
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,640
be be someone who steps up.
One of them can.

692
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,880
But I can't envision both of
these guys being an immediate

693
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:22,160
impact this coming season.
I tend to think it would be

694
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,360
Sadiq more than it would be
Cooper.

695
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,920
Just because they got a $30
million receiver in New York, he

696
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,440
is going to be the number one
target.

697
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,520
Doesn't matter who is coming in
to this team.

698
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,040
The rookie draft, that doesn't
matter.

699
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,480
Garrett Wilson is going to be
the go to receiver.

700
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,320
That's just the way it is with
his team.

701
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,480
But outside of him between these
two guys, I think Sadiq will be

702
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,960
the guy that's going to be
featured a little more.

703
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,600
The Cooper.
I really, I like both players

704
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,240
and and like you said, who else
are you really going to pick?

705
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:53,960
I, I think the pics are totally
fine picking them in these

706
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,480
spots.
It's not not a problem because

707
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:59,840
there isn't a ton of more depth
after these guys that you feel a

708
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,800
lot more comfortable with.
But like you mentioned, Eli

709
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,160
Starr is the guy that I think
gets bumped up because of his

710
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:08,680
landing spot after this season.
He he could, he could be the

711
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,640
main tight end in Philadelphia
and that's been a very lucrative

712
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,320
position to to be it.
Dallas Goddard.

713
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,440
Yeah, when he is healthy and on
the field, he's a he's a guy

714
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,480
you're going to start every
week.

715
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,240
He's got touchdown potential
every week.

716
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,920
And Eli Stowers, his upside and
this offense is absolutely it's

717
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,600
tremendous.
He's got his his skill set, his

718
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,560
athleticism.
It it's going to fit really well

719
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,480
if jail and Hertz is going to
fit really well with the other

720
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,480
receivers they have and, and on
this team.

721
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,760
So yeah, I could have seen, I
could see Eli Stowers getting

722
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,400
picked in this range because of
that landing spot, because of

723
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:46,000
his opportunity that's coming.
Sadiq and Cooper, we don't

724
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,600
really know for sure what we're
going to see this year.

725
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,920
And we definitely don't think
Geno Smith will support 3

726
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,080
receiving targets.
I don't, I don't think you think

727
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,600
that.
I don't think anyone does.

728
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,280
So let's, let's see what
happens.

729
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,800
They're good players.
Unfortunately drafted on the

730
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,560
same team, unfortunately drafted
on The Jets.

731
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,280
I think that's just, that's
tough, man.

732
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,560
Yeah.
No, I mean it really comes back

733
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,480
to landing spot.
It matters.

734
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:20,160
It matters so much more than the
the experts, the analytical

735
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:25,840
gurus want to acknowledge that
if psychologically you're put

736
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,840
into a bad situation,
psychologically you're playing

737
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,480
the backseat to someone else
ahead of you for 2-3,

738
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:37,800
potentially 4 years.
You get beat up, you're a little

739
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:43,280
bit older, you know, your
excitement, your drive, it may

740
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,560
or may not be there as it once
was when you first came into the

741
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:51,200
league.
And so the idea that the talent

742
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:56,280
is all that matters and the
situation can change absolutely.

743
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:03,840
But if you bury someone in a bad
situation, it it, it takes takes

744
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:08,080
a really special kind of player
to to pull themselves out of

745
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,840
that.
And with Eli Sauer still on the

746
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:17,040
board in this specific draft, I
just think it doesn't make sense

747
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,960
to take Omar Cooper.
It just doesn't.

748
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:25,920
It does not make any sense when
you said, yeah, Gino's not going

749
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:32,840
to support 3 fantasy relevant
players and the path to success.

750
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,800
It just seems like it's so far
off.

751
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:40,120
And for a player you're drafting
here, I don't know, I I'd go

752
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:44,320
with the the easy money, the the
tight end one in Philly in at

753
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,320
least a year or maybe just go
with the next pick here.

754
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:53,520
We at 110 Ty Simpson went and he
went to the Los Angeles Rams.

755
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,240
What is that?
What do you think that means?

756
00:43:55,240 --> 00:43:58,320
Do you think that means Matthew
Stafford's out the door or is

757
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,360
this a Jordan Love Aaron Rodgers
situation?

758
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,960
Matthew Stafford's going to hang
around for another four years

759
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,120
until they somehow kick him out
of the building.

760
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,440
Yeah, I definitely don't think
it's a situation where they're

761
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,920
trying to rush him out of there.
Matthew Stafford's still playing

762
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,240
at a high level, I think.
I think it's mainly just trying

763
00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:19,840
to protect themselves for when
it does happen because they're I

764
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,880
don't think they know for sure
if he's going to be finished

765
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,640
after the season.
Matthew Stafford may not know

766
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,120
that right now.
So I think they're they saw

767
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,520
themselves in a position to get
a quarterback and and they see

768
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,360
themselves as a team that's
going to be competitive and they

769
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,200
don't believe they'll be in that
position to get a quarterback

770
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,640
next year.
So they I think they're thinking

771
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,280
is AI mean what is the
likelihood we're going to be in

772
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,800
any spot to draft potential
franchise quarterback is Ty

773
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,280
Simpson that we don't know.
We'll see, we'll see.

774
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,920
Obviously he he got picked much
higher than most people thought

775
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,120
he would.
So I think for them was more

776
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,800
protection against what will
happen put potentially after the

777
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,160
season and knowing that they are
not going to be in that spot to

778
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:04,680
be able to draft the quarterback
next year.

779
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,360
They're just too good of a team
to be there.

780
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,880
They would have to completely
fall apart to have any

781
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:10,840
opportunity at one of these top
quarterbacks next year.

782
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,480
Yeah, I think it was.
It was smart for that reason and

783
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,360
that reason only that when are
we going to get a chance to to

784
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:23,440
get a first round quarterback
again and one that we're

785
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,680
choosing.
It may also be an indictment on

786
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,120
this class that they weren't
that excited about the other

787
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,120
skill positions.
So they said, let's let's do a

788
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,720
luxury pick here.
Let's pick a quarterback, Let's

789
00:45:35,720 --> 00:45:37,440
kind of groom him for the
future.

790
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,080
So, no, that was certainly a
surprise in the first round.

791
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,640
I have no problem with someone.
And certainly in a superflex

792
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:48,120
league, you're going to, you
know, you don't want to count on

793
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,840
Ty Simpson for anything this
year and maybe even next year.

794
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:58,520
But you know, you supposedly you
should have the the QB one on

795
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:03,000
the Rams waiting there in a
terrific, terrific situation.

796
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:08,000
So at this range in a super
flex, I mean, who else you going

797
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,360
to take?
I guess you could have taken our

798
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:14,280
number 11 pick that we we've
talked trash about already.

799
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,040
Denzel Boston wide receiver 4IN
Cleveland.

800
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,680
So much can change, you know,
And he may be the alpha.

801
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,560
I don't know.
He he emerges and he pushes

802
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,640
Jerry Judy aside.
And Casey Concepcion and Harold

803
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,760
Fannon was only relevant last
year because he was the only

804
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,720
offensive target.
I just don't think there's any

805
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:39,160
way to know any of this.
There just isn't.

806
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,160
We have to wait and see how it
plays out.

807
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:45,360
And it's a gamble, I guess, at
their price.

808
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:51,040
Would you do if someone said,
OK, I'll sell you, you know, KC

809
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:56,000
Concepcion for the for the 17 or
Denzel Boston for the 111?

810
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,800
Which price feels like more of a
a value to you?

811
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,280
Say those ones again.
Let me hear that one more time.

812
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,560
OK.
If you were going to buy KC

813
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,760
Concepcion and I'm going to bump
him to the 17 here because it

814
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:16,560
went to the same owner, OK.
Or someone says I will sell you

815
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,000
and, and what you give for this,
you know that that's besides the

816
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,240
point.
You're just giving something

817
00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:25,040
that equals this value.
Or you're going to buy Denzel

818
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:31,200
Boston for 1:11, which which
price feels like more of a steal

819
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,680
because I feel like they both
have almost an equal chance of

820
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:39,160
doing well.
I mean, draft capital isn't that

821
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,400
far off.
Yeah, Yeah.

822
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,040
I guess if you look at it that
way, yeah, Boston at 111 would

823
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,440
be the easier 1 to attain.
Obviously, you know when you're

824
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:53,560
talking about a 16, that's a or
five spot, five spot difference

825
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,760
here.
So yeah, I guess the easier 1 to

826
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,040
get would be Boston.
I guess the better value would

827
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:00,200
be Boston as well, just because
you're not going to have to go

828
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:04,600
up as much in a trade.
And it's all about value If you

829
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,120
don't have to give us give up as
much for someone that you think

830
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:12,200
could be equal or possibly
exceed his teammate.

831
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:13,840
You know, Boston's a big
receiver.

832
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,720
He's a he's a tall guy.
He could be a possession

833
00:48:16,720 --> 00:48:18,240
receiver for this team.
So we'll see.

834
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,840
I I still, you know, for this
year coming up, I, I would 100%

835
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,840
rather have KC.
But if we're talking about value

836
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:27,960
in a trade, yeah, I guess Boston
would be the better value.

837
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,560
Just because you're not, you're
not going to have to give up

838
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:33,160
nearly as much.
No, you can always fall back on

839
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,440
the wall.
You know, KC is the main guy.

840
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,680
I'm just I'm just getting the
throw in here at Denzel Boston.

841
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,720
When in reality, at this point,
it feels like to me they have an

842
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:46,160
equal chance of of success.
They're they're both part of the

843
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:51,000
future and oh, here it just
finished.

844
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:55,120
You know, it's the weekend.
People have things to do are the

845
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:59,280
final pick of the first round
just was selected and it's

846
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:04,680
Jeremy Bernard going to the
Steelers at 1:12.

847
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,040
Where?
What is your initial hot

848
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,280
reaction on this one off the
cuff?

849
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,400
Yeah, I was very surprised to
see that.

850
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:17,800
Yeah, I think I have to look at
his roster, but Eli Stowers has

851
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,720
to be the guy here.
I mean, he just has to be the

852
00:49:19,720 --> 00:49:22,080
guy.
I think he needs to be a first

853
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,840
round pick in this draft.
Just not seeing the roster right

854
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,680
now.
But even that I don't, I'm not a

855
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,600
I'm not a big, I'm not a big
proponent of drafting for need.

856
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,440
You just pick the best value on
the board, especially in a

857
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,880
rookie draft, you pick the best
value because a lot of times

858
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,000
rookies aren't going to they're
not going to produce right away.

859
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,840
So let's let's pick the guy who
can can have a really high

860
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,520
ceiling and has an and he's
going to have an opportunity.

861
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,600
Bernard is going into a
situation now where he's going

862
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,520
to be behind two guys, one that
he's traded for and then they

863
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,520
have DK Metcalf there and they
have a quarterback who, where is

864
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,960
he at?
Is he on a different island

865
00:49:59,960 --> 00:50:01,080
right now?
We don't even know who's going

866
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,080
to be the quarterback right now
for for Pittsburgh.

867
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,360
So I don't love that situation
and I don't love the fact that

868
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,360
they may not be in a high enough
spot to get a a top tier

869
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:10,680
quarterback next year's draft
either.

870
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:13,320
There's if Rogers comes back,
they're going to contend for the

871
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:17,120
playoffs again.
So, yeah, I, I, I'd rather have,

872
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,680
I think it's Stours.
I think Stour should have been

873
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,240
picked here.
I think I think it's like we

874
00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:24,400
talked about it, right?
His opportunity is, is clear.

875
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,240
He has a clear path to
production.

876
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,960
It may not be right away in
2026, but it's a clear path to

877
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,600
production because, you know,
Dallas Gotter is not.

878
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,920
They already extended him to two
separate seasons offseason.

879
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:39,560
They already extended him one
more year.

880
00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:43,480
This pick here for the Eagles
was to replace Dallas Gotter.

881
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:47,720
I have no question about it.
And I think that's you're when

882
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:51,160
you're picking here 112 and
there's still value to be had.

883
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:52,200
I think you got to go with
value.

884
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,480
You just have.
Yeah, absolutely.

885
00:50:55,480 --> 00:51:00,160
When there's a seemingly a clear
cut starter right in front of

886
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:05,960
you, and even as we've been
talking about so far in this

887
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,400
specific draft, a clear argument
when I'm looking at it could be

888
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:15,040
made that it should have been
Eli Towers at one O 8 and then

889
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:20,720
bump everybody down a spot.
But here we are at 21.

890
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,520
All drafts are different.
That's what makes it fun.

891
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:30,880
You know, you have the human
aspect to it and people, people

892
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,680
will see things differently.
And I think some of the the

893
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,520
Jeremy Bernard pick may just be
related to fandom.

894
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,160
That's the fun part.
I don't know if GMSGMS shouldn't

895
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,360
be picking based on who they're
a fan of because they should be

896
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:48,560
a fan of their own team.
So when it comes to a fantasy

897
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:53,560
owner, you know this person's
name has the word steel in it.

898
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:59,440
So Steelers fan, having played
with him in different leagues, I

899
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,960
also know he is a Steelers fan.
So maybe that's some of what is

900
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:06,520
driving this pick.
And that's an interesting part

901
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:11,200
as we we've talked before in our
trade related shows, knowing

902
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:15,960
knowing your team and the your
other owners and who they like,

903
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,520
it's important.
And let's preface all this by

904
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,880
saying some of these guys that
were talking about the later end

905
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,400
of the first round, there is a
chance they emerge.

906
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:27,720
There's a chance that they
surprise everyone and end up

907
00:52:27,720 --> 00:52:29,800
being an impact right away.
It happens all the time.

908
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:34,960
So when we talk about City,
Cooper, Boston or even Bernard,

909
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,880
when we talk about them as just
not being the guys she picked

910
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,080
there, it doesn't mean these
guys aren't going to come out

911
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,040
here and surprise everyone.
It doesn't mean that.

912
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,920
And it doesn't mean that Tate is
guaranteed to be a wire

913
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,400
receiver. 1 doesn't mean it at
all.

914
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,920
These are rookies, some of them,
some players that have entered

915
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,760
the league are are just sure
things, you know, and, and in

916
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,160
this first round, there aren't a
whole lot of sure things that

917
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,040
we're looking at right here.
There's a lot of talent, there's

918
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:05,000
a lot of opportunity and that's
what makes it exciting because

919
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,480
you could draft the Sadiq and
not feel great about it in the

920
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,320
moment.
But what if he hits?

921
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,080
You're feeling, you're feeling
great and you're you're feeling

922
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:16,000
you just feel like the pick you
made you, you, you have the

923
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,960
justification when he he he has
a great, great couple games here

924
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,080
because tight ends, it takes
them a couple years sometimes to

925
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,560
to really get it going.
But if he starts out and plays

926
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:29,640
well, that value he has now,
it's going to keep it keep

927
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,960
increasing because everyone
before he landed on The Jets was

928
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,440
excited about where he would go.
That's just one example.

929
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,080
You know, Cooper, Boston, just
guys like that.

930
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:43,520
We don't know exactly who who
will emerge or who won't emerge.

931
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,000
We don't know that right now.
We just know that there is

932
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,640
talent on the board here and
it's going to be exciting to

933
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:53,240
see.
So when when we talk negatively

934
00:53:53,240 --> 00:53:57,560
about any of these guys, just
know that they could absolutely

935
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,120
prove us wrong.
They prove everything.

936
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,800
Everyone's been proven wrong
throughout the years.

937
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,960
And I would be very happy if
Cooper an awesome year.

938
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:09,760
It'd be great to see.
Oh, absolutely, absolutely.

939
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:13,640
I know.
I think it's just about using,

940
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:18,440
using our rational mind with
what we do know and what we do

941
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,320
see and then kind of taking it
from there.

942
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,560
But does that work year in and
year out?

943
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,000
Absolutely not.
If you want to have fun, go look

944
00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:30,520
look at a draft list from 5 or 6
years ago.

945
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:35,920
Half the players aren't aren't
relevant anymore.

946
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:40,160
All the talk that we had about
them at the time and the great

947
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:44,400
futures that they would or
wouldn't have it.

948
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,880
It works for some, but in the
reality it doesn't work out for

949
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,960
most the NFL.
It's a it's a tough business and

950
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,400
it's even harder to stick
around.

951
00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:02,760
This this type of analysis is
really just about using what we

952
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:06,560
see and what we know and what we
can predict to make decisions

953
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:12,120
that do make sense in in an
objective way.

954
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,000
Well, can we see the future?
Of course not.

955
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,480
No Kenyan city could be the
rookie of the year.

956
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:22,720
Of course he could.
You know, Jonah Coleman, he

957
00:55:22,720 --> 00:55:26,280
could easily just steamroll the
rest of that Denver backfield.

958
00:55:26,720 --> 00:55:30,280
JK Dobbins gets hurt again and
he pushes RJ Harvey aside and

959
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:35,640
it's Jonah Coleman show.
Same with Nicholas Singleton in

960
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,800
Tennessee.
That's an easy backfield to to

961
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:44,360
rise to the top of Elijah Sarat.
You know, he, you know, Flowers

962
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:47,720
gets hurt and he has to Lamar
has to throw someone the ball

963
00:55:47,720 --> 00:55:51,200
and it's Elijah Sarat.
We don't know.

964
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,200
We don't know.
But some of these outcomes, it

965
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:59,840
requires a lot of if thens to
happen, doesn't mean it can't.

966
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,520
And some of it definitely will
happen.

967
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,800
The things we don't predict.
So you're always looking for

968
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,520
that edge.
You're looking for those, you

969
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,000
know, you're telling me there's
a chance that's what you're

970
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,680
looking for.
That's realistic.

971
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:19,480
You don't want it to be that,
OK, you're you're tight end 4

972
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:25,880
needs to overcome, you know,
perennial Pro Bowler and and you

973
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,600
know, that's going to lead your
team to the, the championship.

974
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:30,640
No, you want to be something
realistic.

975
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,480
But yeah, absolutely.
A lot of things can and will

976
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,280
happen.
But I think just with what we're

977
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:40,720
seeing here, that's that's
certainly where our our

978
00:56:40,720 --> 00:56:43,280
commentary comes from. 100%
yeah.

979
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,840
And like like you said, it's a
great point.

980
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,960
We, we are drafting and everyone
else that's doing the rookie

981
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,720
drafts now and in coming days,
we are drafting on what we know,

982
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,240
how these players produced in
college, you know, their landing

983
00:56:56,240 --> 00:56:58,880
spots, opportunity they're going
to have.

984
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,640
We're drafting based on all the
things we know right now.

985
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:06,200
And you're going to see very
similar drafts coming up from

986
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,760
all the drafts you see your
other leagues you may be in or

987
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,720
other leagues you see online.
You're going to see a lot of

988
00:57:13,720 --> 00:57:18,200
these drafts go very similarly
with, you know, the top 6 or 7.

989
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,320
And that's what I, I think the
top seven we talked about today.

990
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:24,240
I think you're going to, that's
going to be consensus.

991
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:28,040
I really, really think that's
the cut off 17 after that.

992
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:33,440
And my advice, my insight, as we
like to say by insight would be

993
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:38,280
after 17, if you are getting any
offers for a 2027 first for your

994
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,800
1819, I would accept that
because I think you're going to

995
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:45,000
be in a situation next year's
draft, yeah, you don't know

996
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,120
where that where that landings.
We don't know where the draft

997
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,240
pick will be.
But I don't think it I don't

998
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:50,680
think it matters when you get to
that point.

999
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,200
Before that, I think you'd think
about a little harder because I

1000
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,560
think there are some really,
really good players in the top 7

1001
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:57,600
here.
I really think so.

1002
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,720
And I think we're going to see
some production from some some

1003
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,840
of these guys this year for
sure.

1004
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:07,320
But 2027 first rounders have a
lot of value and they're going

1005
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,280
to continue to increase in value
as we get to November, December,

1006
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,040
January.
And if you accept the trade for

1007
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:16,880
one of them and you didn't draft
18 or 19 or 1:10, I think you're

1008
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,000
going to feel really good about
the value of that pick come

1009
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,480
December, January.
Oh, absolutely.

1010
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,720
Or if your team is, you know,
you're doing well and you're

1011
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:30,840
making a push for the
championship, you know, you you

1012
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:36,320
have something to to offer to to
put you over, you know,

1013
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:40,160
hopefully into to getting that
to obtaining the championship.

1014
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:44,600
By no means you're not
guaranteeing that, but I do

1015
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:50,120
think it just makes sense to to
critically think to say yes.

1016
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:55,840
It's just not worth to to blow
your future 1st or your current

1017
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,960
first.
If you can get a 27 first, why

1018
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:03,280
spend it on something you're not
that excited about when it could

1019
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:07,640
serve you better later on?
Yeah, once again, no guarantee,

1020
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,880
but you're right.
One, one through 1, seven.

1021
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,800
There's there's reason for
excitement after that it, it

1022
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,760
does seem to, to fall off, but
I'm sure there'll be some, some

1023
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:23,320
news in the offseason that gets
us excited about someone else.

1024
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,560
There's an injury, a trade,
something happens.

1025
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,520
And, and maybe you know, these
drafts all the sudden you do

1026
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,920
them again in July and it looks
a little bit different.

1027
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:37,400
But this is exciting.
And hopefully, you know, our,

1028
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,240
our listeners, we appreciate
anyone listening and listening

1029
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,920
to the whole show.
That's important.

1030
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,000
And I hope you find it enjoyable
and insightful.

1031
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:52,160
But yeah, I had a lot of fun and
yeah, no, it's it's been a lot

1032
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:55,960
of rookie chaos today.
So I think I'll let you close

1033
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,920
out the show because we've hit
our one hour mark and and next

1034
00:59:59,920 --> 01:00:04,240
week, I'm not sure.
Do you have any indication what

1035
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:07,320
you think we should talk about?
I think next, yeah, yeah, I

1036
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:09,600
think next week would be really
good week to do.

1037
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,960
Just do some trade talk, dynasty
trades, go go back again and

1038
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,280
look at trades we're seeing in
the community because this is

1039
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:19,080
rookie draft season.
And I, I don't want, we can't

1040
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:22,920
end this show quite yet until we
talk about the trade, the Tecmo

1041
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:26,240
we've made today in this draft.
I mean, there's no way we can

1042
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,640
leave this podcast without
talking about that.

1043
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,880
Let's let's hear, let's hear
your thoughts on and your

1044
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,080
thought process on the trade you
made today.

1045
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,720
It was a big trade, very big
trade.

1046
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,360
And there's no way we're ending
this show without hearing your

1047
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,000
thought process on it.
I'll just say what it was it you

1048
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:48,200
traded 32027 first and anyone
who listens to this show, anyone

1049
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:52,440
who's in the league, they know
techno weave has about 75 first

1050
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,840
round picks next year.
So he has the ability to trade

1051
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,840
multiple first round picks.
But now in reality you had seven

1052
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:02,520
right entering or 7.
Right, 88, you had eight, you

1053
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,000
had eight.
First round picks so you said

1054
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:08,000
three of them and you got the
one O 4 and one O 5.

1055
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,280
What was your thought process
behind it and how do you feel

1056
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:14,600
about it now after drafting the
two players you did, Cardinal

1057
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:18,200
Tate and Mackayla?
OK, I'll, I'll try my best to

1058
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:22,200
make this relatable to anyone
that's listening because the

1059
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,400
saying holds true.
Nobody else cares about my

1060
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:30,720
fantasy team besides me.
But it it was the idea that I

1061
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:35,200
had eight first and when I was
looking at my team, I kind of

1062
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,800
already looked at my roster and
I said, OK, I always try to

1063
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:44,200
build out a roster so I have the
best starting lineup I can get.

1064
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:49,080
That's my first priority.
So when I looked at my team and

1065
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,480
I'm saying OK, I'm kind of
punting this first year, how

1066
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:57,960
many players do I have and how
many firsts do I have to spend

1067
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:03,280
to obtain a full roster of 10
players, a full starting lineup?

1068
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,480
And I looked at my team and I
said I had about four players.

1069
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:12,720
So I need 6 more players and I
have 8 firsts.

1070
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:18,160
That's where I was coming from.
So I was like, OK, if I can get

1071
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:23,720
two more foundational players, I
go from four players that I have

1072
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:29,120
to six players and then I have I
only need four more players and

1073
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:35,920
I have 5 first round picks.
So that was really the question.

1074
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:39,880
And that when I saw Carnell
Tate, he fell.

1075
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:44,440
And then Mackay Lemon, I felt OK
that he's he's got to be this

1076
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:49,360
time next year a top 50 player.
I mean, maybe, maybe I'm just

1077
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:54,600
projecting there, but
analytically, the people he's

1078
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:58,560
been comped to, Carnell, Tate,
the great situation, the draft

1079
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:05,840
capital, it felt like those were
two very safe players in good

1080
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:10,080
situations that if they were in
my startup, I would have no

1081
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:14,280
problem drafting them in the top
five rounds.

1082
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:18,720
So yes, coming back to what we
said earlier in the show, a

1083
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:22,200
first this year is worth a more
than a first next year, and it

1084
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:26,080
was.
But these aren't just any

1085
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:29,360
players.
So in essence, I figured, well,

1086
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,000
OK, I gave a first and a half
for each of them.

1087
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:35,480
And that's how I get a lot of
trades done.

1088
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:37,560
I mean, I've done hundreds of
trades.

1089
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:41,160
If I look back and counted them
all, it, it would be in the

1090
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,480
hundreds.
And sometimes to get a deal to

1091
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:47,960
go through, it seems more
recently, almost all the time to

1092
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:51,800
get a deal to go through, you
have to come out on the losing

1093
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:56,360
end to some degree.
I'm not saying, you know, sell

1094
01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:02,760
your house to get a, a Kia Soul.
No, don't do that you, but you

1095
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:07,880
can come out behind a second
round pick because if it if the

1096
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:11,880
trade pays off for you, the
profit should be more than what

1097
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:13,800
a second round pick is going to
be.

1098
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,280
So I just felt Carnell Tate, a
Kyle Lemon.

1099
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:20,200
Those felt like good
foundational assets for the

1100
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:24,680
future and spending I have in
too.

1101
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,880
You know, if you're rich, you
have the money to spend.

1102
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,040
And in this case, I was pick
rich.

1103
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:34,400
I had it to spend What?
Why does someone drive a

1104
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:38,960
$500,000 car when they could
drive a $20,000 car?

1105
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,120
Because they're rich.
Because they can do it.

1106
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:47,480
So I guess that's part of why I
did it too, just because I could

1107
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,840
and I wanted to, but I also have
to eventually get players on my

1108
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:55,280
team and, and felt like that
was, you know, and, and I'll be

1109
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:56,960
honest, maybe a little bit of
rookie fever.

1110
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,320
I caught some rookie fever.
I have to go to the doctor.

1111
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,200
Yeah, I mean, you got Carnell
Tate, McKay Lemon.

1112
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,120
I'm looking at fantasy prize
right now.

1113
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:08,160
They're currently ranked.
Carnell Tate #17 overall or wide

1114
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,120
receiver in McKay Lemon?
It's 22 and there's other sites

1115
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:12,600
that have them even higher than
that.

1116
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:16,120
So when you're you're getting
two of those types of receivers,

1117
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:19,320
if you think about it, say I'm
not saying right now that's just

1118
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:22,400
who they are, but say you go up
the rankings a little bit and go

1119
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:27,040
to number 12, for example, a
Mecca Buca, You're probably

1120
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:30,440
going to have to trade two first
to get them most likely or first

1121
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:32,080
and something else.
You're not just going to get a

1122
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:33,440
first, right.
You're not just going to be able

1123
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:37,240
to trade one first for a Mecca
Buca right now or even go up, go

1124
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:38,760
up the list a little more.
Go to Ted.

1125
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:43,480
If someone offered you 127 22,
seven first for TET, are you

1126
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,440
going to take that?
No.

1127
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:48,480
Exactly.
Not at all exactly so.

1128
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:52,640
I think you're right on if these
players hit to some degree

1129
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:57,360
their, their price all of a
sudden becomes that first and a

1130
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:00,640
half or more because you're not
going to take, you're not going

1131
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:03,720
to take a first and 1/2 for TET
or or IGBUCA.

1132
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,600
Exactly.
So, so value wise, if Carnell

1133
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:10,280
Tate and Makai Lemon have solid
first first seasons, you're

1134
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:11,960
you're you're going to feel
pretty good about the trade you

1135
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:15,000
made because these guys are
going to be worth boarding 12027

1136
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,440
first going into next offseat.
So but yeah, I thought I'd throw

1137
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:19,840
that out there.
That was that was an interesting

1138
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:21,280
trade.
It was a it was a big trade and

1139
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:23,520
it was it was cool to see.
But yeah, I think next week

1140
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:26,000
it'll be a good idea to, you
know, talk some dynasty trades,

1141
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:27,880
especially with the rookie
drafts coming up.

1142
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:31,120
And again, we appreciate
everyone for listening to the

1143
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,480
show.
We have so much fun doing this

1144
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,120
and we're excited to talk some
trades next week.

1145
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:37,320
All right, everyone, have a
great week.
