Alec Pierce

NegativeInjury6:48

The source is highly critical of Alec Pierce, noting he has not practiced all summer due to injury issues. The source also questions the massive contract extension given to Pierce, arguing he is overpaid relative to his production.

Insight page

Christian McCaffrey

NegativeBust15:04

The source advises caution with Christian McCaffrey, citing his age (30) and a history of missing games. The source expects a regression in performance and notes that the team drafting Kalen Black adds further risk to his workload.

Insight page

Christian Watson

NegativeBust32:36

The source strongly advises against drafting Christian Watson, citing his failure to eclipse 621 yards in four seasons, recurring injury issues, and a limited ceiling of roughly 200-220 fantasy points. The source considers his fourth-to-fifth round ADP to be a 'cookie cutter' mistake.

Insight page

Emeka Egbuka

PositiveBreakout21:49

The source is very high on Emeka Egbuka, predicting he will finish as a top wide receiver. The reasoning is based on the departure of Mike Evans and the lack of competition from other receivers, creating a massive opportunity for Egbuka to dominate targets.

Insight page

Jadarian Price

PositiveInjury8:39

Jadarian Price is dealing with leg soreness but is expected to return in a few days. The source maintains a positive outlook on Price and holds stock in him for the upcoming season.

Insight page
NegativeBreakout35:29

Jadarian Price is viewed as a high-upside breakout candidate who has performed well in camp despite a minor leg issue. While there is a committee risk with Zach Charbonnet, the source believes Price has the talent to dominate the backfield if he can prove he is the 'main man'.

Insight page

Jahmyr Gibbs

PositiveProjection10:28

Jahmyr Gibbs is considered a must-draft 1.01 or 1.02 pick. Despite the presence of David Montgomery and the addition of Pacheco, the source believes Gibbs is the primary back and will continue to produce at a high level, citing his 360-point performance in each of the last two years.

Insight page

Jaxon Smith-Njigba

NegativeProjection24:09

There is a disagreement regarding Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The source argues he is a regression candidate due to the 'law of averages' and a history of wide receivers busting after one good year. However, Tim defends him as a consistent performer who has shown steady production over his career.

Insight page

Jaylen Waddle

PositiveValue19:06

Jaylen Waddle is viewed as a strong value pick in the fourth round. The source believes a change of scenery and Bo Nix's tendency to spread the ball around will allow Waddle to emerge as a primary target with significant upside.

Insight page

Josh Jacobs

NegativeValue28:29

Josh Jacobs is considered a solid mid-fourth-round pick. While the source notes concerns about his lack of passing game usage and recent off-field legal issues, they believe he still has one or two productive years left in him as a primary back in Green Bay.

Insight page
PositiveValue31:42

The source is high on Josh Jacobs, currently drafting in the mid-fourth round, and is comfortable with his role in his third year with the Green Bay Packers despite potential off-field concerns.

Insight page

Luther Burden

NegativeInjury3:25

The source expresses concern over Luther Burden's status after he left practice with a groin injury. While the team described it as missing 'a little bit of time,' the source notes that groin injuries are notoriously tricky and could linger, making him a risky 16-round draft pick.

Insight page

Mike Evans

NegativeInjury5:07

Mike Evans is dealing with a quad strain, though head coach Kyle Shanahan reports he is close to full strength. The source remains skeptical of his fantasy value, noting that Evans is aging and prone to injury, suggesting that even if he returns, he is not the player he once was.

Insight page

Omarion Hampton

PositiveBreakout12:27

The source is extremely high on Omarion Hampton, projecting a massive year due to an improved offensive line and his role in Mike McDaniel's offense. The source believes Hampton has the potential to outperform Jahmyr Gibbs in total fantasy points.

Insight page

Rashee Rice

NegativeInjury8:47

Rashee Rice is dealing with a knee issue that limited his participation in individual drills and caused him to leave practice early for treatment.

Insight page

Zach Charbonnet

NegativeRole35:35

The source is not a fan of Zach Charbonnet and views him as a potential obstacle to Jadarian Price, though he notes Charbonnet's 10-12 touchdown production from the previous season as a point of concern.

0:00We are talking must draft players that we absolutely love.
0:03I've got Tim the bald guy in the studio.
0:05This is a must listen episode and we've got a special guest coming on.
0:09We've got three opinions, nine players ready to dive in.
0:12I cannot wait to introduce the special guest very shortly here as we're going to get into this.
0:17Tim, what's happening man? Happy Monday. I'm excited man.
0:20Fantasy Football's back. This is that time of year.
0:22There's no better time of the year. The most wonderful time of the year.
0:26It's draft season. What's happening Tim? Welcome to the show.
0:29Yeah man, thanks. And you know we had game one go.
0:32We had a game on TV. It's amazing. Life is good.
0:35Preseason doesn't excite me. I want the best. I know but it's back though.
0:39It's back. It's coming, right? That's like your first breath.
0:42It's ready to rock. Yeah man, I popped up.
0:44So this special guest that we're having, is it by any chance a guy named Tom?
0:49Who's Tom? And his last name sounds like Brady?
0:51No, no, no. No Tom Brady today, unfortunately. But we've got someone even better.
0:55You guys got to buckle up. So before we get into that, make sure you guys do subscribe, hit the thumbs up and grab the 16 Round Drafts.
1:03Sleepers, breakouts, optimal players. Listen, do not draft without 16 rounds.
1:06I've linked it below. So I pinned it below or head on over to the fantasyfootballcounselor.com.
1:10Go create great. Go right now. You're going to get an account and then you're going to log in and you're going
1:17to get access to all my picks. Tim, I'm pumped up, man.
1:20The energy's high, dude. I'm pumped. I can tell you're ready.
1:23See, I don't get as uppity as you. You are like on a whole nother level.
1:27Man, it's draft season, man. You guys could draft every night with me at nine and create underdog count use code lion.
1:34I've linked that below. Create an account, man. We go not at nine o'clock Eastern every night.
1:38Create underdog count right now. And that's all I got, man.
1:41Let's get right to breaking Brad here. And we're going to start with some breaking news.
1:46We now have breaking. We now have break. We now have breaking.
1:49We now have breaking news. I think you broke Brad.
1:52Yeah, I wanted him to do that. It is with great urgency that we bring you these following messages.
1:57It is with great urgency. Now we record this the night before at the time of this recording, Tim, I want to talk about real quickly here.
2:05Luther Burden, you know, it was the second year.
2:07He kind of had a mini breakout at the end of last year.
2:11A lot of people high on him, including myself.
2:14I think he could have a good season since DJ Moore has now been shipped off to Buffalo.
2:19But check this out. He could miss. This is what they're saying here.
2:22And I don't like when they talk in like basic vague terms here.
2:26He left practice, but he's saying, quote, should miss a little bit of time with a groin injury.
2:31A little bit of time. That is all on.
2:33That's objective based on perspective. So a little bit of time is like could be four weeks.
2:38That's a little bit of time in contrast to an entire season.
2:41Right, Tim? Yeah, man. And we know those groin ones are a bad one.
2:45Those could come back, you know, after the first few games even.
2:49So I don't like that. Yeah, a little bit of time.
2:52That's that's anyway. You guys make a decision on that.
2:55I don't feel warm and fuzzy off that he is a 16 rounder.
2:58So I may have to update my notes there after that news.
3:02So we'll see how that goes. I'll be monitoring that for you.
3:05That's why you guys turn on the bell here.
3:07All right. Other things here. Mike Evans, who, again, they did.
3:11He's so old in his career, Tim. They re-signed him to another contract.
3:14I think it's three years, whatever, millions and millions with the 49ers there.
3:18And they're just plagued with injuries. Ricky Pearsall. Everyone's banged up on the 49ers.
3:22But he's dealing with a quadriceps thing, too. His quads are banged up.
3:25I think it's a quad strain. But he was able to work on the side on August 8th.
3:30Evans reportedly appears close to full strength, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
3:34Said Evans likely feels he can return right now, but the team wants to play it smart with the veteran receiver.
3:40That's promising if you're drafting Mike Evans. Sure. But let's face it.
3:43He's not what he used to be. So one of these little injuries for him.
3:47Yeah, give him some extra time. Sure. He's an old dude.
3:51We need more time to heal. We definitely do.
3:53But who cares? It's not going to be that big of an effect on your team.
3:57We'll see. Matthew Golden Toe did not take part in a closed indoor practice.
4:01Head coach Matt LaFleur said that the injury is not a long-term concern.
4:05A couple other things. Nothing crazy in the news.
4:08You know, Josh Downs, everyone's high on him because Alec Pierce may miss some of the season, right?
4:13Like dealing with his issues. And the thing I was just reading about Alec Pierce also in the news, they paid him like a huge contract, Tim.
4:20I think it was like, I don't know what it was.
4:23It was like four year, 114 million, over $110 million, which is ludicrous.
4:27He only had one 1,000 yard receiving season, Tim.
4:29Alec Pierce is nothing special. So apparently he hasn't like practiced all summer.
4:33Like, like what? First of all, I said that was a waste of money.
4:37Now we're seeing it. That that's really concerning. I mean, why do they pay these guys, Tim?
4:42It doesn't make any sense, man. It started a few years ago, didn't it?
4:46Like one of the, one of the medium guys, I don't want to call him a bottom feeder, but he was only a middleman.
4:52He wasn't, was it, was it Kirk? But anyway, someone got signed.
4:56Yeah, Christian Kirk. Christian Kirk started that whole trend.
4:58Yeah. Years ago. Like what the hell, man? You don't pay a guy like him, whatever it was, 20, $30 million a year.
5:05Like, come on. And then you pay your top running backs only like 15 mil.
5:09Something's wrong here, guys. Figure it out. It's crazy.
5:11It's like Alec Pierce is making like double what Jameer Gibbs is making, which is ludicrous.
5:16Like I, that makes no sense to me. A couple other things.
5:19Jadarian Price was dealing with a leg issue, leg soreness, but is expected to return a few days.
5:24Not that serious. Thank God. Cause I got some Jadarian Price stock.
5:27Love him. And Rashi Rice is dealing with a knee issue.
5:31He was limited in individual drills on Saturday, August 8th, left practice early to receive some treatment on his right knee.
5:36That's it, man. Unless anything breaks between the time we record this and we release this in the morning.
5:42That's it for breaking Brad, Tim. That's it. Where are you breaking Brad?
5:45We now have breaking news. No, Brad, you just broke the news.
5:49Damn you. I know he needs more than one line.
5:51We're still working. You think that he moved to relocate to Florida.
5:55He'd learn something on his travels, but he's, he's learned absolutely nothing.
5:58So an old man just stuck in his ways.
6:01He's in his lane. That's it. That's it guys.
6:03Again, make sure you guys grab the 16 round drafts.
6:06We'll show you a link to below all the answers, bulletproof roster, grab it below.
6:10All right, we're going to start off with your player, Tim, and then we'll go with my player and then we'll introduce our special guest.
6:17I know a lot of people have been waiting to bring this guy on and it's by popular demands, but we're going
6:23to start off with your pick first. This is captain obvious is a must draft pick.
6:28He's the 1.01, 1.02, depending on if you want Robinson or do you want him, but Jameer Gibbs, I mean, thanks captain obvious.
6:34This is, this one's an obvious pick. I mean, you can't, you can't make them all sleepers.
6:39You can't make them all like eighth round, 10th round guys.
6:42My next two are both like fourth rounders. So yeah, this is the one though.
6:46For me, my first round, I got to take Gibbs.
6:49I mean, just part of a well-rounded offense. He's still a young guy.
6:53Who cares that they put Pacheco on there? It means nothing.
6:56Gibbs is the man. Like what more can I say?
6:59Right? 360 points each of the last two years, each.
7:01And that's with Montgomery. I do believe Pacheco is a major downgrade.
7:05I don't think he's going to steal that much volume.
7:07Well, even though they say he's going to get the goal line work, I've been reading reports, but Jameer, they just paid
7:14him, made him the second highest payer player at the running back position.
7:17I think second or third, he's up there, man.
7:20And yeah, I love him. I think they made him the highest paid.
7:23I think he's just slightly above like him and Robinson are like right neck to neck at this point.
7:29Well-deserved. If anyone's deserves the payday, it's, it's Jameer Gibbs.
7:32That one, I'm not going to complain about at all.
7:34There you go. That's the way it should be.
7:37All right. Thank you. All right. Next one. I get, you guys know my pick you guys.
7:42I got it. It's, it's, it's a must draft.
7:44Like I can't just not put them on here.
7:47I know when I spend, if you guys follow the channel regularly, I'm going to keep talking about, but it's my conviction.
7:53It's up to you guys. If you guys believe in him, Omarion Hampton improved O-line second year player.
7:58He had the ankle issue last year. That's behind him.
8:01Mike McDaniel's office. We saw what we did with at chain.
8:04Everything is going towards this guy having a phenomenal year.
8:06Some people say Keaton Mitchell's there. I'm not concerned, but Omarion Hampton prime for a massive year, dude.
8:11I'm all over this guy. I think he's going to beat Gibbs and fantasy points.
8:16I know it's a bold prediction, but I see him crushing it this year, dude.
8:20Strong, viable run, catch strong. Everything, man. Everything. I'm all mauling him.
8:23I'm all in on Hampton, man. I can't argue with you really.
8:27Other than the fact that you say he's going to be Tamir Gibbs in points.
8:31I don't see that happening. He's on a great team.
8:34Lots of offensive weapon. Herbert spreads the ball around it.
8:36Everybody's going to eat. Everybody's going to get fed.
8:39Great pick. Not going to be kids. All right.
8:41We got another one and let's, let's bring in our special guest here, Tim.
8:45And he is actually really enjoying Florida so far.
8:48And we're going to bring them on here. Tim, do you have any, could you guess who it is at this point?
8:54I, I did, I guess Tom Brady, but you said, no, I'm thinking like, come on, man.
8:59What else we got? Well, here's a must draft pick and it's CMC, but guess who chose it?
9:04You won't believe it. It's Connor, the leader of the Kinsheepsis.
9:07Welcome to show Connor. He's not, he's not saying much, Tim.
9:10I don't know what's going on. Do you like those shades?
9:13What do you think, Tim? I, yeah, I mean, he's a good looking dude.
9:17I think the son is doing well for him.
9:19It's just what, why is he not talking? Why doesn't he have anything to say?
9:24Shut up, Tim. Shut up. Yeah, there you go.
9:26See, I'll take that. Shut your mouth. I don't like your picks.
9:29I don't like you. Why did I call him pork?
9:32You're not pork. Sorry. You're a lamb chop. That's right.
9:35Get it right. Okay. So I'm going with CMC again, because that's what everybody does.
9:39Connor, Connor, like, sorry. He sounds a little seductive there almost.
9:42I mean, what's going on? You know what's nice about him though?
9:46He actually wore his tie for the event. He dressed up and, and he's ready for that Florida sun.
9:51You can see it with the shades and everything.
9:53I'm really cool. I'm cooler than you. And I'm cooler than you.
9:57You are. Absolutely. Looking the part, my man. Okay.
9:59Back, back. Let's focus on the task at hand here.
10:02Christian McCaffrey. I factor in a, shut up. I factor in a regression.
10:06Connor, if you're going to come on the show, I appreciate it.
10:09You don't be rude. Shut up. Okay. Tim, what do we do here?
10:13Should we call breaking Brad and we can have him put them on the barbecue here?
10:17He's not, he's not behaving. Just put a little feed on the ground and that'll probably take care of him.
10:23Okay. Back to CMC here. Like again, I factor in a regression of a year.
10:27Connor, can you take those glasses off? There you go.
10:30We want to see his eyes. It's more, you know, better.
10:33We can actually see them and look them in the eyes.
10:36So yeah, Christian McCaffrey, I factor in a regression pinnacle year.
10:39You know me, it's him with the pinnacle years.
10:42I factor in, he's definitely going to go down this year.
10:45I think again, that's can't predict injuries, man, but I just don't believe in CMC H 30 now.
10:50And you know, they drafted Kalen black. I don't believe in a man.
10:53I think you're crazy for never believing in him.
10:56And how many pinnacle years can a guy have?
10:58Because I think Christian McCaffrey has had like six pinnacle years to you, but yeah, but the thing is everyone, everyone seems
11:04to remember his amazing years, but they don't seem to remember the years where he hasn't played, which is three out of the last six years.
11:12He hasn't played. It happens to everybody. And we had this argument before.
11:15I think you say the last three of the last six, I say two of the last four or something like that.
11:21But either way, he is amazing. When he plays, the guy is gold.
11:25There's no denying it. Connor, is there anything else you want to say about Christian McCaffrey?
11:30I love CMC, especially the time he posed in those, in those pajamas and this shirt off.
11:34Oh, Connor, this is way too much information here.
11:37Way too much information. I think the Florida sun is getting to him.
11:40All right, let's go. Let's go to your pick here.
11:43Let's move on, Tim. We're moving on from the CMC here.
11:46Your next pick here is a must draft is Jalen Waddle.
11:49Yeah, once again, it's just a nice price for Waddle.
11:52He's got a change of scenery. We all know what he did when he was in Miami and when Miami was hot.
11:58There is a little caveat there. It's when they were hot because they did not do well the last few years.
12:04Yeah, I just, I think change of scenery, Bo Nix likes to spread the ball around.
12:09I think if Waddle comes in early and kind of dominates and shows that he is the man to go to, boom,
12:15there's big upside, especially for a fourth rounder. Yeah, he comes in takes, but again, I don't like that he was a wide receiver to his whole career.
12:23Now he comes in to be the one. I'm not sold on that.
12:26I think they're going to spread the ball around and he's going around the same places like Amica.
12:31I'd rather have Amica 10 times out of 10 over him.
12:34So I'm not sold on Waddle. There could be an opportunity that he emerges.
12:38He's got Cortland Sutton there who again is kind of like a 1B, right?
12:42So it's not like I'm really concerned of him being a threat to steal volume, but I don't know just because he's been there.
12:49They got Pat Bryant, they got pass catching running backs, they got options, you know, I'm just not, I'm not sold on
12:55Waddle as much as you are, I guess. Yeah.
12:58And I get it. Like I say, but for the fourth, for fourth round price, I'm totally in.
13:03I think he can easily surpass that. All right, moving on to my guy again, you guys listen to you know, I
13:09cannot stop talking about this guy, Amica Egbuka. And this is the thing, Tim, let's go to pronunciation.
13:14They call him Amica Ibuka. Like they're just ignoring the G.
13:17I don't like when people ignore the G and it's, oh, it's a certain, I don't know what country's from, but it's
13:23because that that country, it doesn't matter. Like I'm reading it how I see it.
13:27We live in America. I see Egbuka. Ibuka. That's it.
13:30Oui, oui. I mean, uh, you can be en français where it's, uh, ET is eh, you know, it's eh.
13:36Or when you speak Spanish and you have double L, it's a J.
13:39Like people have their own crap, man. Just pronounce it the way you want.
13:43I like Egbuka. I think it sounds good when you give that G a little bit of, uh, enunciation.
13:48You got to egg it in. So, uh, yeah, I mean, I might be egging people on with this whole thing.
13:54Uh, but listen, I love them. Great opportunity. No Evans now.
13:57Godwin sucks. He's just going to eat, man. Like I see this guy finishing as the top wide receiver.
14:03Like that's how much I love this guy, Tim.
14:05I love him. I love him. I think you're reaching, reaching a lot on some of your points there, man.
14:11I mean, let's put it this way. The team, if you've ever seen that movie, the replacements with Keanu Reeves, that's what this team is.
14:18I like them. I like them. They're exciting to watch, but they're not like massive fantasy points here.
14:23They're not a high scoring offense. They're just good and fun to watch.
14:26Yeah. We'll see Baker Mayfield. He still hasn't gotten his big contract yet, but he's still waiting.
14:31So I like the egg man. I like the egg man, which leads us to number six, which is Connor's pick again.
14:37Should we bring him back on at this time?
14:40Yeah. Let's bring him back one more time. Yeah.
14:42Yeah. Let's see. Let's see what he has to say here.
14:45Connor, you're back on the stage, buddy. And look who it is.
14:49JSN, of course, who happens to be the top receiver from last year.
14:52And he's on top again. He's going to do it again.
14:55The exact same thing. Well, Connor, you know what?
14:58Remember that time where Mike Thomas had that good year and then the year after he busted.
15:03And then remember Cooper Cup? He had that one good year in the year he busted after pinnacle year.
15:08It happens a lot with wide receivers and, and JSN just for the, you know, just for a matter of fact, had
15:14one good, one good year out of the three that he's played.
15:18And he's on a contract hangover being paid big time.
15:20And he's got a Superbowl hangover and he's got all this stuff working against him from law of averages.
15:26Like what goes up must come down yet. You still love him and you're going to draft them.
15:31Oh yeah. I love them. I love the copy and paste.
15:34I do it every year and I'm never going to hold myself accountable.
15:37Tim, any thoughts here with, with what's Connor's doing here?
15:40Yeah. I, I actually like the JSN pick. I mean, you look at it, you say he's only had one good year, which isn't really true.
15:47His rookie year was pretty damn decent. Second year was pretty darn good as well.
15:52Third year was pretty great. Um, week after week, great numbers.
15:55So he's not just a one hit wonder. He's not getting, you know, a 30, 40 point week and then a six point week.
16:01He is very consistent. So a week to week basis, man, I'm sold.
16:05I'm in. Yeah. Oh, Tim, I love you for this one.
16:08Right. I know. A lot of people like to think I am a sheep as well.
16:13So I guess it kind of fits. Tim, I really don't like that you're agreeing with Connor and I cannot wait.
16:18I cannot wait till JSM bust. And yes, injury does count.
16:22And that in fact, in the year that Cooper cup went down, I, he went down with injury.
16:27I didn't celebrate the fact that he was hurt.
16:29I celebrate the fact that I was right that I avoided him.
16:32And I told you to avoid him because what goes up must come down.
16:36And I really believe JSM, I'm not sold on him having another good year.
16:40That's it. All right. So all we can do is hope and pray that none of your guys get injured so that
16:46we can say you were wrong and they, they had a regression or they busted.
16:51Yeah. Injury counts. If one of my players goes down, I'm going to be held accountable, Tim.
16:55It's that simple, man. Injury plays a big, if they're on the field, they don't count.
17:00They don't, they're not putting up points. Right. All right, man.
17:03As long as it works for you as well.
17:05Absolutely. All right. Your next pick here. I'm not sold on explain to me, Josh Jacobs, whose ADP right now is around the fourth round.
17:12He had some off field issues. I can't remember what it was.
17:16Josh Jacob, uh, off field issues. Can't remember what it was, but yeah.
17:19What is it about Josh Jacobs that you love so much?
17:22Well, let's not call it love. I mean, once again, it's a mid fourth, right?
17:27So you're, you're kind of at that point where if you're a guy who's going, um, receiver first couple, then Jacobs is a great grab.
17:34He's done well the last two years in green Bay.
17:36We all know that he was pretty exceptional for quite a period of time with the Raiders.
17:41The only thing that bothers me with him is he's not getting a lot of usage in the passing game.
17:47So he needs to get more in there. And I don't think that's going to happen.
17:51He's starting to get up there a little bit in age.
17:54So there is some risk to this one. However, I think he's still got one to two more good years in him.
18:00But if he busts this year, you're dead to me, my friend, you are dead.
18:05So I'm looking it up right now. I'm trying to see if there's an update on his situation.
18:10So what ended up happening was in May, 2020, May 26, uh, 2026 this year, uh, in Brown County, Wisconsin on preliminary
18:16domestic abuse charges, he was basically including felony strangulation.
18:18He was released the next day without immediate formal charges.
18:21So it's probably paying somebody off at this point.
18:24You know what I'm saying? I'm just trying to say, no, Josh Jacobs is not in jail.
18:28He was held overnight on May 26 arrest and was released.
18:31And then basically said that, uh, the office said he was not prepared to file a formal or after district attorney said
18:38they were not prepared to file formal charges. They wanted additional investigation as of August 9th.
18:42I'm not finding any reliable reports that persecutors have formally charged him.
18:45So yeah, I don't like that, man. I don't like the fact that he is even in part of anything off field
18:52like that, even though it's alleged, just want to let you know.
18:55Yeah. And you know what? I mean, we're here to talk fantasy football.
18:59We're not here to talk about how a person is outside the game.
19:02He may be a complete dick. I don't know.
19:05I don't care. I shouldn't say I don't care.
19:07I do care on a personal level. However, I'm here to talk fantasy football right now to me, Josh Jacobs, mid four on green Bay third year there.
19:15Now I'm just, I'm in, give me him. You'll care.
19:18You'll care if those charges come up and he has to miss time or end up in jail for four months, then then you'll care.
19:25I absolutely will. But nothing is pointing to that right now.
19:28All right. So let's move on to the next guy here is Christian.
19:32This is Connor's pick. I'm not going to bring Connor back on.
19:35He is out of control here. He's insulting us.
19:37He's throwing his glasses down. He is, he's, he's been completely rude.
19:41And while we're talking, he's going up to the camera, making faces.
19:44So we're going to keep him off camera here.
19:47We've got breaking Brad who's subdued him recently. He's feeding him some, I don't know.
19:51So it's got him in a chokehold. Yeah. He's got him in a chokehold on the side, whatever.
19:56But anyway, Christian Watson here is his pick. And here's the deal, man, like me and you are shaking our heads at this.
20:02This is such a cookie cutter pick fourth round, fifth round ADP for a guy that the Packers should have not paid over a hundred million dollars to.
20:10He has not finished a season. He has not eclipsed even 621 yards.
20:14He sucks. He's had four years to show us that he gets capable and he's busted four years in a row.
20:20Tim, I don't understand fourth round pick for a guy who's a so-called one.
20:24I'm not sold on this, Tim. I'm not doing it.
20:26No, man. This is, he's like a wide receiver for something like that to me.
20:31This is where it gets ridiculous where the business side of the game doesn't match up with what's put on the field.
20:37Like you're giving him big dollars and now there's all this hype.
20:40He has done nothing exceptional. He's just a good average player.
20:43Let's put it that way. Nothing special at all.
20:46He'll just get hurt again. Even if he's not hurt, he's going to get a standard year.
20:50He's going to put up 200 points, 220 points done.
20:53That's it. That's to me, that's probably the high end.
20:56Ceiling is limited. There's a chance he breaks up at four years.
20:59It's just, that should be enough time for me to say, Hey, this guy's good.
21:03This guy's not good. Shouldn't take me four years to, you know, like he's showing me, it's like fool me once shame on, what is it?
21:11You fool me twice. Shame on me. This is fool me four times.
21:14Like who on the fifth time? I'm like, it's nuts, man.
21:17I'm not wasting a fifth round or fourth round pick or any pick on Christian Watson.
21:22I'm not. So that's why I like Matthew Golden as a sleeper.
21:25Tons of upside. All right. Last one here is my guy and I love him.
21:29I love him. I love him. I love him.
21:32Is your dairy and price. I mean, there's a chance this guy busses a chance that Charbonnet comes back healthy.
21:38It's a split committee, but he was drafted in the first round by the Seahawks, Tim.
21:42He's great talent. Apparently he's doing really well in camp.
21:45And mind you, we talked about it in the news.
21:48He was dealing with that minor leg issue, which again, it's just leg soreness not to be a concern.
21:53But again, he's doing so well in camp. I'd imagine my leg would be sore if I'm tearing up camp to some degree.
21:59So dairy and price. I'm excited, man. There's something telling me that this guy's going to have a good season.
22:05I like the position. Charbonnet really doesn't matter to me too much.
22:08However, you look at the touchdowns last year and Charbonnet did have a lot.
22:12I think he had 10 or 12 touchdowns. So there could be some concern there.
22:16To me, price has to come in and he has to dominate.
22:20He has to basically say, this is my team.
22:22I'm going to be the main man. And with the leg injury right now, this might be a tall task to ask.
22:28So I hope that it can come true, but I'm not 100% sold either.
22:32So what did we say? Fourth round, fifth round pick?
22:35Round, fifth round ADP for him. Okay. So, I mean, you're not risking too much.
22:39Again, if you've gone wide receiver heavy early and Jadarian price is there and you're willing to take a little bit of a risk at five.
22:47Yeah. Why not? It could work out great. I'm not, I'm not a Charbonnet fan by any means.
22:52So like I say, if he comes in, he dominates, he says, this is my team.
22:56Rock and roll. He has the opportunity to run away with that job.
23:00That's it, man. Those are players that we love.
23:02Connor is, again, we're not going to bring him back on the camera.
23:06If you guys want to see Connor, drop a comment.
23:09Say, we want to see more Connor. Some people love Connor.
23:12He's one of those, like, he's very polarizing. It's either you love him or you hate him, Tim.
23:17There's no middle ground with Connor. Some people just love him on a barbecue.
23:21I don't know what that's all about. In fact, I asked Jimmy the Maverick to come on.
23:25True story. I said, you want to come on the show?
23:28Connor's on. He's like, I'm not coming on with that sheep.
23:32He doesn't want to do a show with me with Connor on.
23:35I keep on thinking Jimmy's a Texas guy, but he's not.
23:38He's a- New Mexico. New Mexico. Yes. So I'm sure he's still down for some good barbecue down there.
23:43So Connor better watch it. Jimmy seems all nice and friendly, but you get on his bad side.
23:48I think you're becoming a lamb chop. That's it.
23:51That's all we have for you guys. Tim, we'll get you back on.
