0:43Rich Rhibar's puppy never sleeps. We never sleep on the Davis Mattek Best Ball Channel.
0:47Either we are drafting an underdog fantasy, gonna hang out with Reebs for about an hour.
0:52Then Mr. Greg Branos from Coach Speaking Next is gonna hop on next.
0:56We're gonna do a Draft Kings draft after that.
0:59Reebs, I wanna ask you a clear, clear question here.
1:02Okay. Brian Thomas Jr. Was he a Mac Jones merchant or is it gonna happen?
1:07Is it gonna happen for him? Yes. Or no.
1:09What is the context? Will it happen for him?
1:12Like, what is the, how are you defining? Can he average, can Brian Thomas Jr.
1:17average 13.7 fantasy points per game this upcoming season?
1:19Yeah, I think that's in the range of possible.
1:22I still think as a touchdown scorer, he could, he's still like the top guy that you look at.
1:28And then from a best ball stance, the types of targets that he's gonna earn with these guys on the field.
1:35The Jaguars are a fun team in general to try to diagnose because, you know, they found this, you know, they had
1:41this weird sliding doors thing that happened last year with like the Travis Hunter injury, right?
1:46Cause that was the, you know, Travis Hunter goes down before the bi-week.
1:50We think that like, he's coming on to be the wide receiver one.
1:54He gets hurt. Parker Washington had think at 17 catches before that point in the season.
1:59They don't have Jacoby Myers in the roster, but then when they get all these guys, when they have to settle in
2:06on the, the Jacoby Myers at the Z, Parker Washington in the slot, and then, you know, BTJ at the X, it's like when they took off.
2:14Uh, at that point of the season, they were like 28th in points per drive.
2:19They went to third in points per drive. Afterwards, they went to fourth and explosive pass play rate.
2:24They kind of find the, found the genie in a bottle and everything came together.
2:29And then this off season, they're like, well, you know what we'd like to do?
2:33We'd like to run more 12 personnel. We'd like to run more 13 personnel because the rest Gladstone's commentary after the draft,
2:40after taking the two tens is like, well, the league is doing this.
2:44So we're going to do it. It's like, so we're going to do it.
2:48Wait a second, man. Like you guys found like 11 was your best personnel.
2:53Your offensive line is still not good. You're running back room.
2:56It was kind of, kind of a mess still.
2:59Like, why wouldn't you just lean into letting Trevor Lawrence and these three wide receivers and Brent and strains just go work?
3:06Uh, so I'm curious to see like what they actually come out and do.
3:10If Liam Cohen's like, just has this thing. He's like, hold on, man, this is our best outfit here.
3:16Uh, let's keep these guys on the field. It's all, but all the commentary has been that they want to use these tight ends.
3:23So I'm very curious to see if they kind of get in their own way.
3:28They should do a little bit of regression to Jaguars scored the most points in the NFL off turnovers.
3:34Trevor Lawrence had nine touchdowns on drives that started in the opposing territory.
3:38So there's going to be some top down pull down too, but I can't put my, um, the game that I can't
3:44put out of my brain with the Jaguars is the Denver game.
3:48They just went into mile high and Denver could not stop them.
3:52So, um, like, I just, I just really hope they stick with what worked last year.
3:57And they just let Trevor Lawrence and these receivers go to work.
4:00Yeah. I mean, I hope they do. I hope they don't try and turn themselves into a ground in pound 12 personnel.
4:07You know, the commentary when they took the Dubroni from Texas A&M, like, Oh, we're going to, we're going to shock the world type situation.
4:15Um, I, I mean, I, I don't, I don't, uh, I don't really think, I don't really think that works.
4:21I didn't, didn't seem like smart decision-making in any way, shape or form.
4:25So that is a, that is a bit of a bummer.
4:28I, I am drafting a lot of Brian Thomas Jr.
4:31Well, he makes sense for like this, right? Like, uh, non PPR, uh, best ball, like, cause when they settled in all
4:38these roles, like his aid dot jumped to almost like, like around 18 yards, his deep ball rate went up 10%.
4:44Like this is the format for like, if he's going to deliver, you don't have to get their weeks, right.
4:51When they throw, right. Like this, he makes sense.
4:53I think around, he's still going around like wide receiver, like 30 to 32, right?
4:58Yes. And he was, he was hurt last season, you know, I mean, he, he, he, he, he played injured.
5:04All right. All right. We are up and Jonathan Taylor's available for us at a pick nine.
5:09Good with that. Um, if, if you wish I have a, I, he's not my favorite pick, but I don't have a lot of who's your favorite pick.
5:18Uh, here would be either like cook JT or Marion Hampton just cause I, I shoot for a little more upside, but
5:25if you want to take Taylor, that's fine too.
5:27You are, you are never, ever going to have to talk to me about taking Ashton JT.
5:33I am, I am an Ashton JT guy through and through.
5:36I'm worried about the Colts, man. That, that is, that's completely my deal too.
5:40I am. And Jonathan Taylor has been one of these backs that's been so dependent on the success of his team for fantasy football.
5:48Uh, he ever just almost 10 more points and wins than losses.
5:51Uh, and man, the Colts, like there's a number of questions for them.
5:55Obviously a lot of offensive losses, at least in Michael Pittman and Braden Smith, the defense is, is an absolute train wreck
6:02outside of, you know, having some good cornerbacks. Pass rush looks terrible.
6:06They opened the year Ravens, chiefs, Texans. Then they have an international game.
6:10They don't take a buy after the international game.
6:13They go at Pittsburgh. Like there's a real chance.
6:15They're like one in four, Oh, and five. Uh, it's, it's not a great layout for the Colts.
6:21And you're so much as contingent on Daniel Jones playing well, it's I'm, I'm a little scared of, of Jonathan Taylor, man.
6:28Then Hampton, Hampton or chase Brown. I'd be Hampton.
6:30Cool with me. If it was full PPR, I could be swayed a little bit to chase Brown.
6:36Uh, but this is like legit, like 15 to 20 upside touchdown upside for a Mary and Hampton this season.
6:42Yeah. Uh, I mean, I am a little, I'm a little worried about.
6:46Keaton missile. Well, I'm not worried. I'm, I'm there's Hey buddy, there's no concern there.
6:51There's, there's absolutely zero level of concern there. What I'm concerned about.
6:54It would be the chargers are, have been the off season champions for the last 19 years in a row.
7:00And then things seem to not work out for them.
7:03That's an, that is, uh, that is irrational. Lucy with the football is what you call this.
7:09What is, what is more rational is that actually the McDaniel offenses have been slower than you would think in terms of total plays per game.
7:17Yeah. They run a lot. They run a lot.
7:19What you need from Hampton is you need a monopoly of all of the goal line stuff and you need the team
7:26to be more run heavy than pass heavy in those situations as well.
7:30You also need, I mean, if you think about the, the crazy seasons that HN and most are dad, McDaniel was dialing
7:37up lots of passing plays for them in short yardage situations, getting HN in space, letting him generate those screens.
7:43I like, I don't know if Hampton is that style of guy.
7:47I mean, Hampton is obviously a good pick. Like I, I don't, I don't need to, I don't need to say Amari
7:53and Hampton is a bad pick, but. And, and I guess the offensive line is good in the sense of the week one projecting starting lineup is good.
8:02I also don't have a sense of like how unlucky was it that everyone got injured last year or like, or a
8:09lot of those guys old is like trade Pipkins was involved.
8:12Like, you know, I mean, Joe, all it is obviously going to be very, very injuries were just kind of more, they weren't like chronic, it was severe.
8:21They just got whomped. They just got whomped. Yeah.
8:24Slater had the ACL and then, you know, Joel had the fractured ankle.
8:28Like it's like, well, what are you going to do, man?
8:31Yeah. Their, their, their guards were in center were awful.
8:34They bring in beat as to, uh, at center.
8:37Uh, Cole strange comes over who was with, um, McDaniel in Miami.
8:40So, I mean, it does, it definitely looks a lot stronger.
8:44It's just hard for me to not look at a guy that was a former first round pick super athletic can catch the football 230 pounds.
8:52Like in that system. Are you taking neighbors? I haven't been, but if you want to try to take some guys, we haven't, that's fine.
8:59We can take, we can take a lobby. We can take a lobby.
9:03Uh, I'm, I'm in these big best ball tournaments.
9:06I'm pretty in on neighbors. Cause I'm like, Hey, yeah, dude, it's fine.
9:10I get it. Probably, probably going to lose anyways.
9:13Well, they're, they're over like the, but over like the most recent couple of days, there's actually been more positive stuff on his health.
9:20Like the, the GM was like, yeah, you know, we expect him to be back.
9:25Like the most recent two things I've read on neighbors have been positive.
9:29And frankly, if neighbors doesn't play week one, he would be the abnormality this off season because all the other injury guys
9:36are way ahead of pace right now. Like they're all pacing, like Kittle's going to play week one.
9:41Mahomes is going to play week one. Craft is going to play week one.
9:45Like it's, it's more abnormal than not for neighbors to not be active.
9:49Um, all right, we're about to be up again.
9:52We've got Gentie Hampton, a lava. We're in the fourth round.
9:56What are you thinking here? I would be a book here.
9:59Um, but I'm, I could take a number of these guys.
10:02If you wanted to do Jacobs, uh, I would be a book though.
10:06Um, no, I, I like a book and talk to me about a book and how you grade that rookie season where
10:13he starts out so good in terms of the results gets hurt.
10:17The target earning the separation. Like I remember him being like on all the fancy metrics, all of his separation and stuff was quite low.
10:24So how are you working through that? Uh, no, I think when you look at a first round pick that did what
10:31he did immediately out of the box. Like it's like, there's a number of these guys where we try to tear these things down in fantasy football.
10:39Like you go under the hood. It's like, Hey man, they took out in the first round.
10:45He almost had a thousand yards as a rookie.
10:47And it was in a season where the entire offensive line got hurt.
10:51I mean, they had three different linemen get hurt during the course of the season.
10:56Um, you had Baker Mayfield had like three different injuries.
10:59They had no run game. It's just like, why don't we dwell on the positives a little bit in this scenario as well.
11:06And then when you remove Mike Evans from the field last year, I mean, with Mike Evans off the field last year,
11:13which was almost a 400 route sample, this dude had just under two yards per outrun and was targeted on 26% of his routes.
11:20Like, this is what we want. The usage we want.
11:23I'm also very bullish on the bucks in general because Zach Robinson runs a very adjacent scheme to Liam Cohen, which, you know, very adjacent.
11:31Yeah. Which Baker had. So Jack, Zach Robinson was there with the Rams when Baker made his little pit stop there that
11:38at the end of, uh, was it 2022? Um, also the bucks in general, I think they're built to throw, which fits the scheme and their defense.
11:46When you look at it, their front seven is gnarly.
11:49Like they're going to be awesome against the run, but they lose Jamel Dean.
11:53Their cornerbacks look a mess. Like this is a team I think that has had high shootout potential in the range of outcomes.
12:00We're like, they're good against the run forcing teams to pass.
12:04Like remember like the lions a couple of years ago where they just like shut down the run and everyone's like, man, we can't run on these guys.
12:12There's a, Hey, wait, their secondary sucks. What do we throw on them?
12:16And they played in like all these high scoring games.
12:20I think the bucks have that kind of potential and their team is like outside of a book up is really cheap
12:26to kind of build some stacks around like Baker, a book, a, you know, Godwin.
12:31If you want to take shots on McMillan later, Ted Hurst even late.
12:35Um, so I'm pretty bullish on the bucks being a pretty big value team right now.
12:40All right. Well, Hey, this is very topical. Then do you want to take Bucky Irving here?
12:45Not really, but Judkins passing. Do you want Judkins?
12:48Do you want to try to do, we could try to do a saints double if you want.
12:53That's on the table. I would be, I would be a dunes a or carnell Tate.
12:58If you, if you made me pick a player.
13:01Uh, all right, there we go. We got a dunes a who I am.
13:05I am way below market on a dunes a.
13:08Cause I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, and I think Luther burden, I think you just flipped the sites.
13:14I think Luther burden on underdog is like not a tremendous underdog type player.
13:18He's very Zay flowers. He in like his ceiling outcome is being like a Zay flowers.
13:23He in type player. Oh, he only got an end zone targets last year, man.
13:28And the grant that he'll get more than two as a full-time player, but the Colston Loveland and a dunes.
13:34They are the, are the packed in money zone guys.
13:37And that's what underdog, like you're just chasing touchdowns.
13:40Uh, yeah. Uh, I would probably be Jadarian price here or Caleb Williams.
13:44What do you think? Um, we have options that do stacks later.
13:47If you want to take Caleb, that's fine. I'm fine.
13:50I'm price. Yeah. What? Uh, so how do you running back anyways?
13:54We did, we did need a running back. So how do you die prices?
13:58Like the firewall. He's literally the last one. And how do you view the Buccaneers running back room in terms of, you
14:05know, uh, they, they got a, they got a lot of options there.
14:09They signed Kenneth Gainwell. They call him the one B Sean Tucker got all the rushes inside the five Bucky.
14:15No rushes inside the five last year. Yeah. So yeah.
14:18How are you, how are you breaking that down?
14:21It seems to be like word of mouth is it's good.
14:24It's Gainwell Irving. Sean Tucker. I know there's like some hope he's kind of in that Katron Allen zone, right.
14:31Of like, you just hope this guy has like a role near the goal line and then maybe he can turn to
14:37something more, but they remember they didn't give the tender to him at first.
14:42Then they did. Then they did. And like, like no one really wanted him.
14:46And then they did, they, they went out and got Gainwell right away too.
14:50I just don't know how bullish they are on like having him be like a focal point of the offense to the degree he was even last year.
14:59But this is a guy that continuously pops up every season.
15:02And like when he plays, you're like, oh, this dude can play a little bit when he gets a chance to play.
15:09So it just depends on how much of an opening he gets to start the year.
15:14But Bucky's pretty tricky. Because you know, the, the mental health stuff is crazy.
15:18Like this stuff we just can't quantify, right? Like we just don't know.
15:22Like what's a Will Fuller was this way. Remember like Will Fuller just like disappeared because he didn't want to play football anymore.
15:29Like we don't, we just don't really know. I had, frankly, I had kind of forgotten the mental health stuff with Bucky,
15:36but he was, like he was making some crazy posts on Instagram.
15:40Yeah. He's been pretty open about it. Yeah. Todd, Todd Bowles had said the same thing.
15:44He's like, oh, you know, he's trying to work through some stuff.
15:48And I'm sure, you know, frankly, I mean, the Rondell Moore thing, like these guys who are professional athletes, it gets very,
15:55very difficult when your body is not responding and not like you make a living off your body.
16:00Your whole self-worth is tied up in your ability to be a fucking gladiator.
16:05And then when your body is not responding the way you want it to, like, I'm sure that is insanely difficult for these guys.
16:12And frankly, that might be part of the reason why they chose to give Gainwell that contract and why they wanted to get him right away.
16:20It's like, yeah, we got to figure that out.
16:23The issue, the issue is that Gainwell is starting to get quite expensive in these drafts.
16:28Now Gainwell is, he's like one of the, he's like one of the biggest risers overall.
16:33Um, all right. I don't want to dismiss Gainwell either because I thought coming out of college, he was a, Oh, I loved Gainwell as a prospect.
16:41He was a pretty good prospect. He just was buried and never really had a chance.
16:46So it's like, I don't want to just say like he was a flashing pan either.
16:51Yeah. All right. We are up in two picks.
16:54We have three running backs, three wide receivers. Uh, let me sort up by ADP here.
16:58We can honestly here, we can kind of do whatever.
17:01Do you have a favorite here? Um, I'm usually in this spot, I'm more of like a Pollard Tucker craft guy.
17:08Um, I've haven't, I've been liking the dip on Alec Pierce though too, in these, uh, cause he's the type of guy
17:15you would want in this type of format. Right?
17:17Like he's still going to get more targets when he's available.
17:21And it doesn't sound like he's in jeopardy of not starting the season either.
17:25I have. And we faded JT at the top and we, okay.
17:29That's a good point. You got me. I am.
17:32I am so, I'm so not now Pierce guy.
17:34I'm a Josh Downs guy. Um, and I was already, this is the wrong site for Josh.
17:40It is. It is definitely the wrong site for Josh Downs.
17:43I, I'm concerned about any guy like Pierce who just completely sun run all his results the years before, year before.
17:49Like that is a red flag anyway. Oh, we should have taken Godwin, right?
17:54We should have. I think, I think it's, I think it's fine either way.
17:58I actually think Igbuka and Godwin, you, you could argue that Godwin can't really get there on efficiency anymore.
18:04So he kind of needs Igbuka to not be a target hog.
18:07Like I could see them not being, he's head of the Baker.
18:11Um, all right. We are up. Harvey is kind of truly the last running back.
18:16Uh, what do you, what do you think here?
18:19Uh, hot take man. But, uh, I came on your show last year and said that we're Xavier worthy was the worst pick in drafts.
18:26I actually, I actually think he's a pretty solid pick at this point.
18:30Yeah. Because yes, the, the, the math is now the math is now all the way back around on.
18:36On Xavier worthy side. I hold no biases, man.
18:39I just call, I just call the spades as they come.
18:42Would you, would you have drafted, uh, would you have drafted Chris Hogan at, uh, at this price?
18:48No, not Chris. You guys took that one a bridge too far, but you would have said it.
18:53We didn't you, we, no one, no one put any words.
18:57No one put any words in your mouth. You're the one who said it.
19:01Listen, I'm a man of principle. Uh, and now a guy like Xavier worthy, I think it's easy to excuse what happened to him last.
19:09He's just so cheap. Like if you just, if there's this avenues where he pays off at this cost, right?
19:15Like he's, he's very much like, you know, chiefs Jordan Addison in a sense.
19:19So he goes right near him. Yeah. Where he's kind of like chiefs Jordan Addison.
19:24Yeah. Where are you, where are you at on the chiefs?
19:27Are you, are you like, they're all priced kind of appropriately there.
19:31It's a little bit too rich. My homes is about like the passing efficiency has been down for three years now.
19:37Like I think there are a lot of reason ways.
19:40Obviously I think my homes at quarterback 11 is preposterous, but you know, I have the, the faith of a religious zealot that not many people have.
19:48Yeah. I am very interested to see what Kenneth Walker does for this offense.
19:53I mean, this, this is a team I think that is capable of running.
19:57They kind of had hubris with the running back position, you know, Oh, you, you think, you think finishing, you think finishing,
20:04you think finishing 32nd, 32nd and 32nd and explosive run rate might be an explanatory variable for why the passing game didn't work that good.
20:11You think those things might be related. And it makes, I'm very interested to see how Kenneth Walker's, uh, you know, input
20:18on the offense impacts how Rishi Rice is used or to the degree Rishi Rice is used because, you know, they haven't
20:25made any wholesale changes at wide receiver, but I think they're looking at the addition of Kenneth Walker saying like, maybe we
20:32don't have to have Rishi Rice be this extension of the run game to the degree that it's been fundamentally dragging our offensive down as well.
20:40Maybe we shouldn't throw this guy 30% of the passes at four yards downfield.
20:44So maybe we get more play action, uh, more, more stuff like that.
20:48But the ACL is probably why we're not going to get that full run out because he's going to be in the
20:55gun probably a lot still to open up. Uh, I, I can't believe people haven't run with like a conspiracy theory on
21:01the chiefs because everyone loves the chiefs. Do you like, do you like Laporta?
21:06Yeah, I do very much so. Yeah. Okay. That's just, that gives us, that gives, it gives us another quarter.
21:12No. Hey, you're, you're here. I know what I'm doing.
21:15I'm driving the ship. Did you see what the league did for the chiefs though?
21:20Well, I say did for the chiefs. I'm trying to push the conspiracy for towards people.
21:24Uh, there, there's something with the way their schedule starts at the beginning of the year.
21:29That's favorable for them. I don't remember. I mean, they, they gave them, they gave them the early bi-week, you know, they
21:36have the tough game in Denver week one. It's at home at least, but then they go, they go Colts, Dolphins, Raiders,
21:43and then they get that week five by. So they basically like accounted for like my homes needing like a month to ramp up.
21:50And I just can't believe like, I just love the good chiefs conspiracy.
21:54I do. I love it. Uh, all right. We can take golf with, we can take golf with the porta.
22:00We can take, okay. Uh, can't take Baker golf or shock for our stacks.
22:05Oh, I'm golf all the way for sure, man.
22:07Yeah. Lions got a pretty dream layout too. And pet things.
22:11I think it was an underrated addition for them.
22:14Um, he was just a bad, like he and Kyler were bad fits for what the other wanted to do.
22:20Like Petsig didn't want to call an offense that made Kyler strengths better.
22:24And Kyler didn't want to do the base Petsig system.
22:27I mean, bad, bad hire in the first place to set yourself up that way.
22:31But I think that they are both going to be happy.
22:35Like, I think Kyler is going to be very happy with KOC in Minnesota.
22:39And I think KOC is going to be pretty happy with him.
22:43And I think Petsig is going to be very happy to be with a quarterback who will do what he says and not complain about it.
22:51Well, Petsig wants to play that under center passing game and extension of the run, give you a lot of run looks
22:57and have the offense run through that. And that's exactly what the lions were, are good at.
23:03They're built for that. That's what they did under Ben Johnson.
23:06The offensive line got banged up last year. They've retooled that a little bit this offseason.
23:11I think Goff plays three outdoor games before the fantasy playoffs, too.
23:15Like, I mean, he's like my favorite pick, like if you're someone that waits on quarterback.
23:20I think because this is the only guy with 30-plus passing touchdowns the last three years, too.
23:25So he's just a real safe, reliable pick. You know what we're getting.
23:29And you can always attach him to someone along the way, whether you don't get Amon Ra early.
23:34You can even attach him to Gibbs. You've got Laporta as like a mid-range sack.
23:39Jameson's in like that wide receiver pocket that's really hot, that wide receiver 20 to 30 range.

24:54Isaac Tesla, I mean, don't make me, don't make me.
24:57I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure you're not a Tesla guy.
25:01Oh, no, absolutely not. Because they're going to play fewer three wide receiver stuff this year than they had, so.
25:07Are they? Are they, Reeves? No, there's been, there's been a lot of talk about Tesla.
25:12Here's what I'll say about Tesla. He's fine in this, right?
25:15Like, we could absolutely take him on a call.
25:18I was going to say, Isaac Tesla, I probably will not draft him in managed points.
25:23Not one managed league. Not one managed league. He'll be on waivers in every managed league.
25:28He'll be on waivers. I mean, huge ADP value on Kelsey here.
25:31Okay, he goes. Are you a Malik Willis guy?
25:34Yeah, absolutely. You invented the Konami code. How could I not be?
25:38You better be a Malik. It's, Reeves, this has been my number one pain point with the fantasy football industry this offseason.
25:45Everyone is cowards. It's like, okay, you went to the mat for Trey Lance.
25:49You went to the mat for Anthony Richardson. You went to the mat for Trey Lance.
25:54You went to the, like. And I was telling everyone not to, even as the Konami code guy was like, yo, like.
26:01Because the whole point of the, like, paying top price for the guys, like, where Anthony, remember Anthony Richardson's going to QB5 as a rookie?
26:08I do. To take those guys that high, you have to have the marriage of the rushing and the passing.
26:14It can't just, the whole plan can't be the rush.
26:18It's a great point you've always made. That the rushing, more than anything, actually kind of builds in a floor.
26:24It builds the floor in. That's what the whole, the whole antithesis of the original Konami code article is like, these guys
26:30have a way higher floor and they're more valuable than you realize.
26:34But to get the ceiling, like 2010 Michael Vick or 2015 Cam Newton or like what Josh Allen is doing.
26:40Do you want to do dimes with Pierce? No, we don't need to, right?
26:45I guess we do. This is kind of a 3QB team, I guess.
26:48It's a 3QB team for sure. Or Woody Marks.
26:51Let's take Keaton Mitchell, man. Wow, doubled up. I don't think I've done this yet.
26:56I don't think I've taken them both. Why not, though?
26:59It's kind of fun. There's a world where we get 6-8 Keaton Mitchell touchdowns and 15 Omer and Hampton touchdowns.
27:05Yeah. Hey, H-Han and Mostert. Why not? They're not, there's not, because I actually think from a contingency side of Hampton were
27:12to get hurt, that's how Vidal gets in the mix.
27:15Like, you know, I don't think Keaton Mitchell is just going to turn into a 20-touch guy.
27:20He's a sub-200-0 guy with past-touch issues. This is the, this is, I mean, I basically do nothing but argue with Corain
27:27and Jacob and these guys about this. Like, I would say this is every day we're arguing about this.
27:33I think that Keaton Mitchell easily pays off this price tag with his designer boutique touches that McDaniel has set up for him.
27:40And you never have to get him right. Never have to get him right.
27:44Never have to get him right. Because someone's going to take Keaton Mitchell in managed leagues, right, in this RB48 spot.
27:50And he's going to just be a paperweight on your roster.
27:54You're looking at him. You're looking at him. It's McCall Hardman at the running back position.
27:59If you enjoyed the, if you enjoyed McCall Hardman at wide receiver, you are going to love McCall Hardman at running back.
28:06His name is Keaton Missal. Yeah. But you're, what's going to happen is Keaton Mitchell, you're going to have three games.
28:12You're like, oh, I'm going to flex him. And he's going to get you six points.
28:17And then you're like, all right, what am I even doing here?
28:21And then he's going to, he's going to have a, he's going to have a two touchdown game.
28:26And you're like, oh, son of a bitch. Yeah.
28:29I mean, so, so Silva made this point when he was on with me, which is like, there is going to be
28:36some weeks where Keaton is like a more important part of their run game than Hampton.
28:40Because he is the space chewer. He's the one that gets the screens.
28:44He's the one that gets the power sweeps. Like he, like he's the game breaker.
28:49Hampton is your, you know, if you're, if we're making the old thunder and lightning.
28:54Hampton is way more explosive than can give him credit for though.
28:57Like, and he's a really good athlete. I think the offensive line is going to show the changes are going to show a lot.
29:05He's, he's a lot more explosive than give him credit for.
29:08Yeah. All right. We are up in two picks.
29:11We have a two, four, five. Oh damn. I was going to say Jones made it all the way around, but he didn't.
29:18Was he too short? Yeah. Uh, shit. I don't really know.
29:21We, I guess one of these tight ends, any of these guys do anything for you?
29:26Nah, I mean, yeah. I mean, Hunter Henry would just be the, you're getting, you know what you're getting out of Hunter
29:33Henry with Drake may, you know what? Better than a best ball.
29:37I'm calling, I'm calling an audible. I'm going to take someone.
29:40I never take last QB golf and Willis have the same bi-week.
29:44So we had to take it. We had to take a third one anyway.
29:48And Bryce is whatever. He's fine. We, we need him.
29:51We need him to score some points in week six.
29:54I guess, I mean, we could have waited and taken Rogers or whatever.
29:58Not that. Well, listen, taking Keaton Mitchell over Daniel Jones was still a lot more fun.
30:03It was a, it was a lot more fun.
30:06I stay. I mean, what's the difference? Daniel Jones versus Bryce Young.
30:09Assuming the Daniel Jones, like assuming the running is impacted by this Achilles repair, then he and Bryce Young are probably both going to suck.
30:17They're, they're both going to not be fun fantasy options at all.
30:21And we lose Hunter Henry because we had to take Bryce Young.
30:25Well, that's fine. Terrence Ferguson is, Terrence Ferguson is going to easily outscore Hunter Henry.
30:29Easily. Easily. Easily get out of here. Oh, that one.
30:32I really believe that. I mean, that one, that one, I, I, I just, I absolutely believe that.
30:38Um, all right. We are up by ADP. I mean, it's kind of like the last little group of running backs here.
30:44Uh, I do like taking Debo here. Cause I think his ADP is going to shoot way up.
30:50When all those guys are going to climb. We did the same thing last year at Keenan Allen.
30:56Do you like Tajay Spears or Brian Robinson or Bigsby?
30:59No, I don't like any of those guys. I would rather just take like Flournoy, right?
31:03And just. I, I have been lighter than the market on Flournoy, but he does have, uh, quite a bit of contingent upside actually.
31:11Like an insane amount of. I mean, you've seen it that, uh, the, the game where.
31:16Lamb missed against the jets. He goes for a hundred yards.
31:19And then when Lamb got the concussion against the lions, he comes in and goes nuts.
31:24So he definitely has big time contingent upside. He also has a chance just to be a bigger, bigger part of the base offense.
31:31Cause Jake Ferguson was ass at the end of last year.
31:35Like the back half of last year, Jake Ferguson was dust.
31:38I mean, Jake Ferguson is not good. You know, Jake, Jake Ferguson is just a guy.
31:43He's, he's, he's, he's Dalton Schultz or whatever. Yeah.
31:46He's very Dalton Schultz adjacent. Yeah. Dalton Schultz goes in the 15th round.
31:50There's a place for those guys. They're good players.
31:53Like an end. Jake Ferguson does what he does that the, the, the Cowboys asked for him to do.
31:58Yes. Sure. I mean, that, that, that is, that is certainly true.
32:02Doesn't make me, doesn't make me that interest in them.
32:05So I think an interesting element this year is a lot of these guys were used to getting snaps in 12.
32:12Those snaps are just going to be limited because teams, I think.
32:15Yeah. I wrote about it for, I've been writing about it for two years, man.
32:20Yeah. Teams, teams are just going to take, they're just going to be a lot less 12 out there to, to be had for everyone.
32:28Well, the, the guys that have been more reliant on 11 personnel are the guys we should have been like hesitant on in recent years.
32:35And we've seen that play out. Like, you know, I literally wrote my draft guide.
32:40Like you should remove Josh Downs, Jaden Reed and Khalil Shakira from your draft board last year.
32:45Like just take them off your board. So we're still like, and nothing's changed, right?
32:50Like I would love to zig when everyone's zagging because running backs are more expensive, but like what happened in the NFL
32:56this season to suggest there's going to be some shift.
32:59We had a terrible offensive draft, a really good defensive draft.
33:03Yeah. And the way, and the way, and the way everyone, yeah.
33:07The way everyone responded to the draft was by taking a bunch of tight ends.
33:11Everyone took a shit like tight ends. Everyone took tight ends.
33:15Are you a, are you a Dulcich guy? I mean, he's fine because we have Willis.
33:19So I'm, I'm cool with it. Well, Dulcich here or Debo?
33:23Dulcich. Bang. We need to, we need to do two tight ends, two more tight ends anyways.
33:28Yes. Yeah. And they both have the same bi-week.
33:31So we're locked in. I'm going to make you take Iyuk instead of Debo anyways.
33:35All right. Hey, you, you give me, you, I'm going to take Terrence Ferguson with our next pick.
33:41You give me, you give me your Iyuk spiel right now.
33:44I have no, I have no real Iyuk. Spiel except for the fact that I definitely believe he plays football this season.
33:51I think there's a larger chance. He still plays football by the time we get to August and doesn't.
33:57And you're just looking for closing line value. I have nothing to sell you on.
34:01He's going to be good or he's going to do it.
34:05I have no idea. So he's just going to go.
34:08He's going to be a top 48 pick though.
34:11If he joins the commanders in August 10th, he's still going to be a top 48 pick.
34:16He won't be a top 48 pick. Yeah, he will.
34:19Yes. Top 48 overall. On the commanders? Oh no.
34:22On the wide receiver. Oh yeah. Sure. Sure. It'd be a wide receiver for better.
34:26Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's probably true. I mean, I was never an Iyuk guy anyway.
34:31When... Yeah. I've got nothing to sell you on him as a player.
34:35I just... It'd just be like a... It's just CV.
34:38It's just... Yeah. It's... Yeah. Look, I agree. Again, this is another one that I...
34:43I'm going to take Terrence Ferguson. I'm going to go with that.
34:46I got to make sure that bye weeks... Yeah, bye weeks are okay.
34:50The deal with Iyuk is that... I actually agree with you.
34:54I think the chances he plays football are much higher than the market seems to suggest at this point.
34:59Like the fact that he is going after Jerry Judy and Dijon Stribbling.
35:03Like he can not even be that good at football anymore and easily outscore Dijon Stribbling.
35:08Yeah, Stribbling I've had a hard time getting for for 2026 because, you know, the runway for him I think is just too thin.
35:16You know, especially if the four... And granted, the 49ers just maybe will never be healthy again because of the substation jokes.
35:22But, you know, they actually got older. But it's still hard to find like the opportunities for him in the base 49ers offense in 2026, right?
35:30Because you still have CMC occupying his, you know, huge target share.
35:34Mike Evans when he's healthy. Ricky Pearsall when he's healthy.
35:37And then Kittle when he's healthy. It's like where do the opportunities come from for Stribbling to where like you're getting this massive run out?
35:45It's really all contingency stuff, right? They don't play a lot of 11 anyways to begin with.
35:50They don't play a lot of 11 anyways. I think the argument would be he has so many outs.
35:56He's got Evans injury outs. He's got Pearsall injury outs.
35:59He's got this guy's just so good. We got to get him snaps anyway outs.
36:04I mean, certainly Christian Kirk injury outs, right? I mean, I think that's like the market is almost assuming that Christian Kirk can't play.
36:11He's got a, you know, I mean, maybe McCaffrey just doesn't have any juice left and can't play.
36:16And they are just like a more pass heavy team.
36:20Like they like there. There are a lot of outs for Stribbling.
36:23And he was the 33rd pick in the draft.
36:26I mean, I honestly, at the end of the day, that is what it is.
36:31Like all the arguments for Stribbling are the dude was a 33rd pick in the draft.
36:36I was going to ask you when we were coming up, but what, uh, what you're doing at Jaden Blue.
36:42I'm, I'm drafting Jaden Blue again. Yeah. All right, Reeves.
36:45Give me your, give me your favorite late sleeper running back.
36:48Rich Rebar's favorite sleeper running back. He went, he went, he went, it was K-Tron.
36:53K-Tron was the dude. K-Tron, K-Tron is good. Uh, Jaman Claiborne is mine.
36:57Uh, you, you have any thoughts on this list of guys right here?
37:01No. Um, we took Jainty. So like, it doesn't make sense to really take Washington as a dart.
37:06Do you like either of the 49ers guys? Not really, but if you have a preference, go ahead and go, you fire here.
37:13I have nothing to do. I'm going to talk.
37:16I'm going to take, I'm going to take Marshawn Lloyd who got a university study done on his body, uh, to try
37:23and figure out why he cannot stay healthy. There you go.
37:26Marshawn Lloyd. I mean, I don't believe, I don't believe in, in that pick.
37:30And this probably has to be a running back too again or no, we don't say this.
37:36No, no, we're good. We started running back, running back.
37:39We started Jainty Hampton and we have Keaton. So we have, uh, all the chargers locked down so we can do wide receiver.
37:46Probably brazzle makes the most sense. Cause we don't have any other Carolina Panthers.
37:50I mean, we don't need to stack him. True.
37:53Uh, yeah. What if, what if Braylon Allen is a dog?
37:56I mean, Braylon Allen weighs 250 pounds. So I think he's, he's in the category of being a dog.
38:02It sounds like the problem with Braylon Allen is he's not as good as Isaiah Davis.
38:07Oh, come on. He's got his whole life ahead of him, dude.
38:11He does only nice. Isaiah Davis is legitimately good.
38:13Yeah. I took, I took brazzle. That's fine. Yeah.
38:16Whatever. I, again, not a guy, not a guy I have any strong feelings about.
38:21Although I, I do find myself in these situations more than I would think.
38:25We're like, oh shit. All right. I got to take a third quarterback.
38:29I don't want to take Jatavian Sanders. So I do take a lot of Chris brazzle.
38:34Like I bet. I, I wonder how often I have that combination of players, Chris brazzle.
38:39And I would even tell anyone. I have 12 on set of 712 completed drafts.
38:43I have 12. I have 12 of those teams together.
38:47One, 1.7%. 1.7% of my teams have those guys together.
38:50Uh, no. Malachi Fields is not a sloppy pick.
38:52Malachi Fields stinks. Not a, not a good player.
38:55Um, all right, Reebs. This is what we got.
38:58Jared Goff, Malik Willis, Bryce Young, Jenty Hampton, Jadarian Price, Keaton Missal, Marshawn Lloyd, Chris Alave, Imeka Igbuka, Roma Dunze, Alec Pierce,
39:05Xavier Worthy, Ryan Flournoy, Chris Brazzle, Sam Laporta, Greg Dolcich, and Terrence Ferguson.
39:09Yeah, it looks like a solid fifth place. Fifth place finish.
39:12Hey. Hopefully run hot. Well, hey, I think, I think the advanced structure here for 12.
39:17So if we're, if we're, if we're fifth place in this, we'll have a sweat.
39:22Fourth place is all we need. Yeah. Fourth place is all we need.
39:25That's right. And then, and then it gets going.
39:28All right. So talk to me. Let's, let's come back to, let's come back to the bears.
39:33I want you to talk to me about Roma Dunze.
39:37I mean, how much of his lack of efficiency do you ascribe to the offense, to the injury?
39:42Like where, where are you overall at on Roma Dunze?
39:45It's just where he earns his targets in the offense.
39:48I mean, he's the guy that's gotten the brunt of two years, the shortcomings of the underbelly of Caleb Williams and accuracy, right?
39:55He has the highest off target rate on the team the past two years after his opening five weeks last year, he
40:02was number one in the NFL and off target rate.
40:05And it's because he gets the more vertical targets, the more winning contested catch targets, whereas burden and, and Loveland, when you
40:12look at their off target rates, like they were pretty like just there, there was nothing out, outlier-ish with them with Caleb Williams.
40:19It's just Rome gets the, the high, the volatility targets, like the high bottle targets.
40:23And that's kind of what hurts him. But something like this structure, I think this is set up for a guy like
40:30Roma Dunze, because I would still put dollars of donuts.
40:33He has more end zone targets than Luther Burden and it's not full PPR.
40:38So if we're just looking for like comparable yardage, because he's getting more downfield shots and you can get maybe what four
40:44plus touchdowns, if not, maybe even the double up situation.
40:47Like this is the type of structure where I think it makes more sense at cost to be in on Rome versus Luther Burden.
40:55I still think, like I said, Luther Burden, it's not a knock when I say he's Zay Flowers.
41:00It's like Zay Flowers is a very good player.
41:03It's just Zay Flowers, when it's time to score touchdowns, there's a reason he doesn't score touchdowns.
41:08And it's because he's five foot nine and you know, he's, he's, he's around 200 pounds.
41:13Um, that's Luther Burden has that same structure. Like he's going to be doing a lot of touchdowns.
41:19He's going to have, be having to house himself.
41:21He's not going to get a lot of end zone targets.
41:25It's going to be Loveland and it's going to be a dunes.
41:29They still that are the guys getting those targets.
41:31So on underdog, like I think burden at like wide receiver 20, especially when you look at where he goes around, like
41:38guys like Christian Watson, Terry McLaurin, like those guys are the, like these, this is the format for those types of guys that go over them.
41:46And then on draft Kings, you would be like, Oh, Luther Burden can absolutely smash on draft Kings.
41:52I mean, I think Luther Burden can, I mean, I think Luther Burden can score touchdowns.
41:56Like there've been plenty of guys of his body type who have done, I mean the most obvious comparison.
42:02Yeah, but they don't play with two other guys that are probably more optimal targets for the coach to design targets too, for those targets.
42:10Like if it was just him in a wide open setting, you'd be like, if he was on like, uh, you know,
42:17if he swapped places like Tett McMillan, you'd be like, yes, he can, they, they could design plays for him.
42:23But when you have guys like Lovell and ended Dunes, a, you know, those guys are roadblocks, I think for those types
42:30of targets, like a coach is just going to want to design plays when that, in those types of areas of the
42:36field, cause that's where those guys win. What if Luther Burden just scores a bunch of long touchdowns though?
42:42What if they're possible? He's he's, he is that type of explosive player.
42:46Like I, I definitely, I think when you look at like if Burden scores eight touchdowns this year, how many do you
42:53think actually came on throws into the end zone?
42:56Like two to three, two. I was going to say two.
42:59Yeah. Two. Hey, get my, the size of my bags would allow it.
43:03I mean, there's also, there's also some health stuff with the Dunes.
43:07A like he's got the, he's got the bum foot that he said is like change the way he has to like train and stuff.
43:14So that is not great. I mean, frankly, DJ more not being there is, I mean, it's so big for all of them.
43:21Cause there's really not an alternative on the roster.
43:24The, the alternative on the roster would be what playing 13 personnel, I guess, playing Roush and commit together.
43:30I can't, I don't even really see it. What happened if you were at the end of the year and what they've
43:37done this off season, they're going to roll over what they did.
43:40You know, you look from week 10 on, they were second in the NFL in, in rate of 12 personnel and second and 13 personnel.
43:48They copied what McVay was doing. And part of that is was because, you know, Rome got hurt and Loveland was coming
43:55and Loveland was almost back to full strength. But then when you look at what happened this off season, they let DJ more go via trade.
44:03And we knew that that was going to elevate burden in terms of just route participation.
44:08But what they didn't do is make a counter move to add another receiver to the roster, because that's just going to
44:15mean like that Loveland is going to be their guy playing 12 and 13.
44:19Like he's going to be the mover. He's basically going to be that slot receiver and that, and that guy he'll line
44:26up outside for like probably 10 to 15% of his snaps too.
44:29But with them not making a subsequent move, it's a big signal that they're going to roll over that 12 and 13 personnel.
44:36And they're one of the teams that can do it.
44:39We talked, we let off the show talking about the Jaguars.
44:43They shouldn't do it. There's a number of teams that are going to copy this offensive meta that should have no business
44:50doing it or don't have the personnel to exploit it.
44:53The bears are one of the teams that absolutely makes a ton of sense to them, right?
44:58Like for them to, them to do this, the Raiders are another team that makes sense why they're going to do it.
45:05Just what, you know, will we get the quarterback play to have like a full fantasy run out?
45:10Um, but yeah, there's a number of these teams are going to copy this and it's going to be full hearty.
45:17I mean, there, there are going to be at least like five teams when you're watching them on Sunday or on Monday
45:23or on fucking Wednesday or Thursday now. Cause the NFL just has to take every game every day of the week where you're just watching them.
45:31And you're like, man, this situation would be so much better if you would just put a guy out there who is
45:38any kind of threat through the air at all.
45:41Like they're, they're like, it's going to be, you know, and, and some teams I think have realized that like the Vikings
45:48signing Juwan Jennings, instead of being like, yeah, we're just going to do TJ Hawkinson and Josh Oliver every down.
45:54Like if the chiefs try and run 12 as their base personnel with Noah gray, like that's stupid.
45:59They should, they should not, they should not do that.
46:02If the Cowboys are like, all right, dude, we got to have a Luke Schoonmacher out there on half our downs.
46:09That's not, you know, just, I mean, those are teams that we at least know, like there's teams that we know at
46:15least will be smart about, but then there's teams like when you look like the Houston Texans, like they're, they're, we're totally
46:22going to be pissed off when Jalen Noel and tank Dell have like 30% route participations and Marlon.
46:28Yeah. Marlon Klein is out here. Like I'm like 60% of passing plays.
46:32Like it just can be so weird to be so pissed off about it.
46:36Right. Like, uh, you know, the Packers are another team that constantly do this.
46:40Uh, we're into like Jaden Reed has, is still has like a 60% route participation.
46:45You're just like, what, what the hell is happening here?
46:48Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A hundred percent. All right. Another guy I got to ask you about one, Mr.
46:53Brock Bowers. I have a feeling. I don't, I don't know this based on anything, but I have a feeling that you're
47:00going to dump some cold water on my idea that Brock Bowers is going to be the story of the national football league season.
47:08Yeah. Unfortunately I will, but not because it's not because I don't have a little FOMO about Brock Bowers.
47:13Cause I honestly believe we're going to have a stretch of Brock Bowers his career where he has like a Kelsey type
47:20run where he's like the tight end one for like six straight years.
47:24It's just, I don't know if this is going to be one of them for a couple of parts, a couple of reasons.
47:31I'm actually lower on all the tight ends in general though.
47:35Like, so this isn't just the Bowers take, like I'm lower in the top tens.
47:39I think this is a year to kind of play the field of tight ends, then go for a top tier tight end.
47:46Loveland would be the kind of one guy at cost.
47:49Like I, I'm on board with the most just in terms of factoring capital.
47:54There's a few, few reasons though for Bowers. I think he's, he's obviously going to smash.
47:59He's going to be efficient. He's a great player.
48:01I'm happy that he's falling in this Kubiak system, but the last five tight end one scores overall have just led the position in routes run.
48:09I think that that's not really in the range of outcomes for Bowers in this system.
48:14Kubiak's going to play slow. They're going to play run heavy.
48:18Um, they're also a team. I think when you look at the way they've improved their offensive line and, and I say
48:24not only getting Ty Lindebum, but bringing in Rick Dennison, a 30 year, you know, offensive line head coach and not having
48:31the coach's son who doesn't coach offensive line, coach the offensive line this year.
48:35This is a team that's just going to be way more balanced than they were a year ago.
48:41They're going to have way more success running the football than they did a year ago.
48:46And just like, we're going to see that play.
48:49They're going to want to play, I think structurally like the, the Raiders.
48:53And there's a couple of teams like this too.
48:55Uh, the dolphins being one, the Cardinals being one based on their hires and what they're going to do offensively is like,
49:02these teams want to play in rock fights. They know they're not good enough to probably win, you know, 10 games going
49:09toe to toe with a lot of teams. But if they can just keep games close and then just have some variance
49:16skew in their direction, like that's a third style of football.
49:19Like the Raiders are going to want to play.
49:22Uh, that's how I believe it. But then the other thing is, when do we see Mendoza?
49:27Cause there has never been a tight end one score overall that's had a rookie quarterback play eight or more games.
49:33So the highest we've had a couple of guys finished tight end three Zach Ertz, uh, in 2016, Delaney Walker in 2015.
49:40So we saw the variance of just quarterback play still.
49:43And it's easy to look at Fernando Mendoza and say, Hey, when this dude plays, he's better than what Brock Bowers had before.
49:50Sure. But it still would be like an all time outlier and you're paying a real, real iron price to do, to, to, to chase this ceiling.
49:59Cause there's, if he's just all right, like you're not getting any value out of this in terms of the opportunity costs.
50:05So that's just the way I, it's the way I play.
50:09If, if, if you go, if you want to go in a different direction, I'm not going to push back because the player I believe in.
50:17So that's it. I saw you have a little FOMO for the player, but analytically, it just doesn't make a lot of sense to take him.
50:25Now, how true is that in terms of if you translate it to what JSN did for the Seahawks last year, because
50:31the Seahawks were also not a high volume team.
50:34They were not a high drop back team. You can't ask Brock Bowers to be Jackson Smith and Jigler.
50:40You cannot, this is. You can't, you can't ask him to do that in terms of the deep, like he will not
50:47generate the same efficiency on deep throws, but what he will add that JSN does not have is he might be one of the best yards app.
50:55Like he might end up being one of the best yards after catch players of all time.
51:00Like he, he could, he could end up being, and that's what you have to have happen.
51:05Yes. And that, so that is, I think that is the specific bet that I am making, which is that the reason why he would not project that.
51:14Well, I actually just had like the Mike Clay stuff up earlier and he has McBride better than him.
51:20I think because of the overall play volume concerns, the bet that I'm making is that if I get a 30% target
51:27share for Bowers on only, uh, what do we call it?
51:30517 dropbacks, 550 dropbacks. That, does that sound about right?
51:33About fair? Is that too high? I think that pull up.
51:36I haven't even had mass. I was going to say, I think that could be okay.
51:41Is that Bowers can generate a 30% target share on that degree of volume, but whatever his base yardage projection in is
51:48wrong is off by a factor of, I mean, at least one, like at least one standard deviation, because I expect him
51:55to be so good yards after catch. Also, another thing that we have not seen Bowers do in the NFL that he
52:02did at college is kind of effectively be the primary red zone weapon for his team.
52:06The Raiders did not use him that way in 2024 at all.
52:10They didn't really have a chance to use him that way in 2025.
52:14He only played. He was number one still. He was number one in end zone target share, 42% of the end zone targets.
52:21Well, end zone target share on the 2025 Raiders.
52:24How many? I'm just saying they like, I mean, they didn't add anyone.
52:28Like they're not throwing a Trey Tucker and they're in the end zone.
52:32Like, you know, even Jalen nail or who they added, they're not throwing to him in the end zone either.
52:38It's going to be Bowers anytime they can get down there.
52:41Well, I'm more, I'm more talking about like the type of cheating bullshit that the Eagles were doing for Dallas Goddard and
52:48things like that, or like the Devante Adams touchdowns that it was getting last year.
52:53Like, I don't think there's any, because the thing is when you do the, the cheating nonsense, the guy has to be really good at, at that.
53:01And I think that Bowers will be really good at that.
53:04I think, I think Bowers is going to be able to generate separation, generate, like, you know, you know, the, the, to
53:11me, the classic cheating tight end play. I don't even know what you call this play, but they line up in the bunch formation on one side.
53:20The guy just starts moving his body towards the end zone.
53:23The second the snap goes, you put, you get it inside the pocket and he just breaks the one tackle and he's
53:30in like, to me, that is the, like Bowers could, could score on that play every time.
53:35I mean, you just, like you said, it's just kind of, I think it's an opportunity cost for me and that your
53:42range of outcomes has, is so thin on a team that we still expect not to win a lot of games and be that good.
53:49And it's just really hard for me to, to pull the trigger at that cost.
53:54And I get it in best ball. You have a lot of outs.
53:58I will say this. I could see Bowers being actually a low advance rate player, but then still being pretty critical to winning a big tournament like this.
54:06Cause I believe in the playoffs, like it's like Denver, it's Denver, Tennessee, Arizona.
54:11So like if you, cause I think at cost, I think more often than not, the way this plays out is he's,
54:18is he is an overvalued pick, but if, if he ends up being a low advance rate player and then absolutely just
54:24comes out and smashes the Titans or Cardinals in week 17, then you might be in good spot.
54:30I think that's also true about Jeremiah love. I think Jeremiah love is going to be a very low advance rate player.
54:37You look at the Arizona schedule, it's absolute nightmare.
54:39But then after that week 14 by they have jet saints Raiders in the playoffs.
54:44Like if you can get a general Jeremiah love team through, he could be kind of critical for winning big tournaments like this.
54:51Yep. Um, I, I, and also good week 17 matchups for both of them, uh, which is, which is, but I think
54:58both those guys are going to be on the lower end of advanced rate players at cost though.
55:03They go near like the, uh, well, Bowers has moved way up, but yeah, cause Bowers already just leap.
55:09He's leapfrogged McBride, which I'm fine with, which I think is totally cool.
55:13I'm a fade at McBride at ADP too. So, all right.
55:16I got another one. I got another one for you.
55:19No, I'm out all the way here. Give me, give me, give me, give me the, give me all the way out in redraft.
55:27All the way out in best ball. All the way out on.
55:31Yeah. We started on, on BTJ. Give me the, give me the Reeves branded take on, on trap.
55:36I mean, everything dynasty redraft best ball. I want to, I want to hear your prognosis for, for Mr.
55:42Hunter. Big picture. It's still in keeping an open mind.
55:45Cause I think he's a talented football player, but I think short term, the Jaguars found their sauce, man.
55:51Like we talked about, we let off the show with, are they going to get in their own way?
55:57Even kidding. You know, Parker Washington on the field as much as they should.
56:01And Jacoby Myers in the field as much as they should, let alone Travis Hunter, right?
56:06Like at best, he's still not going to leapfrog all those guys at face value.
56:10Like he still needs a door open for him.
56:13The other thing too, that I haven't heard really discussed with Travis Hunter is the Jaguars are extremely thin at cornerback.
56:20And that's part of the reason why they've, they've kind of talked about playing more, but what if there's an injury there?
56:26Like we can't expect all their cornerbacks to make it through healthy either.
56:30So if they have an injury at cornerback too, I think it's just going to propel him to kind of be used
56:37on the defensive side a little bit more in a 2026 vacuum.
56:41He's going to moonlight, I think on offense, but I just think their base offense, he's right now.
56:46It's a, it's a detriment to take one of Parker Washington, Jacoby Myers, or Brian Thomas Jr.
56:52Off the field for him at this point. The, the pushback that I have and why I'm still interested in him at,
56:58uh, at his current price, particularly for best ball managed.
57:01I mean, this is a Davis Matic player if there ever was.
57:05It's a, it's a Davis Matic player. Really? It, it actually comes down to how I feel about James Gladstone, which is
57:12that James Gladstone, I don't think is going to want to take the L I, I find, I find the least plausible
57:19thing in the situation to be, all right, well, you know, we traded up, we did a massive deal to take this guy at number two overall.
57:27And now we're just going to make him a normal cornerback on our 11 win AFC South team.
57:32I, I just, to me, that feels so implausible that as an organization that they would have the humility to accept.
57:39They maybe made a mistake. Like maybe, maybe Travis Hunter is not that good of a receiver.
57:44Maybe I'm maybe my, uh, you know, uh, analysis of this guy winning the bullet in the coffin and the Heisman, all that stuff is wrong.
57:52And it actually is better. And that's the thing.
57:55A lot of scouts said was, he's a more natural corner than he is a wide receiver.
58:00Fuck if I know I can't watch cornerback and tell you how natural a guy is there.
58:05I know he looks good to me as a receiver.
58:08I mean, he looks really good to me as a receiver.
58:12Um, I, I just like, how, how likely is it that they give up on the, on the, the prospect, the, the
58:18prospect of him being a contributor wide receiver, like that feels so impossible to me.
58:23I don't think they're giving up on it. I just think that like what happened during the course of last season, like
58:30their base offense ran a lot better when, you know, again, they had Joe, Jacoby Myers at the Z, uh, Parker Washington's moving around slot Z.
58:38And then you have Brian Thomas Jr. You know, stretching the field.
58:41So where does he fit into that? I mean, how, how much does, how much do you remove a component of the offense that worked for you?
58:50And mind you, we've already talked about if you, if you're using the glad son's not going to take the L argument
58:56here, then that means you already think they're going to play more 12 because he's, you're saying he's not going to take
59:03the L on taking Nate fucking Bo Richter in the second round this year, uh, when he has no business playing on
59:10the field over any of these guys. Yeah. Yeah.
59:13You're yeah. I, and that might be the thing is there might just be like, no logical consistency, like no, no internal
59:19mechanism that keeps these things in check. My big worry is Liam Cohen is on his way to getting Stefanski or Kevin O'Connell.
59:26And I'm not ready to cement that as an actual take.
59:30I'm just worried that it's in the range of potential outcomes more in year two, because this happened with Stefanski where Stefanski
59:37was clearly a good coach and Andrew Barry just bricked like four straight drafts.
59:41And yeah, it just buried the team that happened to Kevin O'Connell a bit.
59:45I think too, uh, where obviously the Sam Donald thing fell out.
59:49He gets kind of put on McCarthy. Uh, there's a definite, I know a lot of people on back channels that I've
59:56talked to, like they really just want to drink Maine and they got shut out on that.
60:01And then I like when you look at Gladstone two drafts, I'm a big Cohen truther, but Gladstone's two drafts, they look objectively pretty rough right now.
60:09And I, I mean, they look real rough. I mean, if Travis Hunter is just a corner, that's one of the worst
60:16trades in the history of the draft. If he's just a corner, even a good corner, even if he is the ninth
60:23best cornerback in the league trading five and a future first to get up to, well, it was more than just five, right?
60:30It was also a later pick than that too, but like a huge jump, a future first and more draft capital to
60:36take a guy that is your second best cornerback is insanely bad.
60:40Insanely bad. Worse, worse than shocking the world of Nate Borkutcher or whatever, like way worse, way worse.
60:46Yeah. It's like, I'm just a little worried that Gladstone is, is because they, I'm man on paper or their team is not like, it's not strong.
60:54Offensive line looks real weak. Like I said, the, you know, I I'm confident they can coax something out of this backfield,
61:01but like, you know, they lose Devin Lloyd now, now Travis Hunter, they need him to be a really good cornerback in
61:07year two for the state of the state where the defense is right now.
61:12A lot of questions, a lot of questions about the direction of the team building here.
61:17Yeah. I have, I have many questions, comments, and they gave, you know, they just gave strange that extension.
61:22They're already talking about giving Parker Washington extension. They gave Myers the extension when he joined.
61:27What do we need out of Hunter this year?
61:30If you're taking, what is he wider? See your 50 something Hunter.
61:34Yeah. He's wide receiver 57. So what do we need?
61:37Three weeks out of him? Three weeks. I mean, if he, if he has, if he has, if he has a wide
61:44receiver nine week, like he did last year in that, the crazy blowout loss, you're probably calling it good there.
61:50I would say, so if you're saying you only need three weeks, I can at least acquiesce and say you might get
61:57those, but I think if you're looking for a larger run out, I am no longer like if, if I was having
62:03to take Travis Hunter in the Matthew golden, Michael Pittman, Jr., Casey Concepcion, Wondell Robinson tier of guys, I would not take him.
62:10I would, I would totally pass. Those are all real guys who are going to be startable and usable and redraft.
62:17They're going to get a hundred targets. They're going to get a hundred targets.
62:21Travis Hunter is probably going to get. But my guess is between 50 and 60 targets.
62:26The, the reason why I actually think if I, and maybe this is, maybe this is just pure cope, but the reason
62:33why I'm like actively targeting him in this format is my guess would be is those targets are going to coalesce in maybe six total games.
62:41There's going to be a couple of games where Travis Hunter runs like eight routes and is not targeted and is totally
62:47like the game script just totally goes against them.
62:50They need a more on defense, whatever. Then there are going to be two or three games where they're down 10 points.
62:57You know, the other team is just running the ball.
63:00Hunter's not going to be out there in like, you know, against heavy personnel anyway.
63:05And those end up being the games that Travis Hunter like clearly gets there.
63:09I would be your hope if you're, if you're someone, if you're someone like me, that would be, that would be the hope on, on Travis Hunter.
63:17But I, I'm not like my plan is not in like our main events and stuff like any of our high stakes stuff.
63:24He is not going to be a high on my target list in, in those formats.
63:29He's, he's definitely a better and best ball guy.
63:32Yeah. Yeah. He's not draftable. I don't even have him on my board for managed leagues.
63:37I don't want my, anyone, anyone to draft him in managed leagues.
63:41Yeah. Yeah. All right. There's just no point. There's just no point to it.
63:45All right. Who else is interesting out here that I've not asked you about yet?
63:49Is there, is there, you gotta, you gotta take your dying to get off your chest.
63:54So I don't need any of these guys. Well, how about, Hey, how about Seattle backfield?
63:59Jadarian price and, uh, sharbs and Helani. Like what's your, what's your breakdown of the, uh, the Seattle backfield.
64:05You know, what's funny is I would have thought if you had asked me, you know, post draft, what I kind of be in on Jadarian price.
64:13Now I probably would have said, no way you were in the threads with Evan, right?
64:18Like we were, we have the threads and it's just like, you know, uh, but then he's just kind of hanging around
64:25like this RB kind of 25, 26 range. And when you're looking at guys to kind of profit and beat ADP and
64:32become value picks in this range, like almost 50% of the guys that beat their APS range are one to two year
64:39players, guys that are rookies are second year players.
64:41Um, the other thing that I'm not the, that I think that people are taking the wrong way is that people are
64:48taking the commentary of like, they want to use him that he's not the RB one in the offense that he's going to slide into Kenneth Walker's role.
64:57And I'm like, yeah, that's what Jadarian price was in college.
65:00Like we have no sample of this guy. He's a 200 pound running back.
65:04That was terrible in pass protection. A small sample we had didn't really catch pass, but I think he's capable of catching
65:11passes, but he's just really bad in pass protection overall.
65:14Um, and he had a little bit of a fumble problem.
65:18Like there's no way they were just going to come out and have this guy be a three down player.
65:24But when you say the Kenneth Walker role, what is the Kenneth Walker role?
65:28Kenneth Walker came in, in the snaps he played, he just got the ball handed off to him.
65:33He was ninth in the NFL mall amongst all running backs and run rate on snaps played.
65:39And it went up in the playoffs after Charbonnet got hurt.
65:42They were still using George Lonnie on the past plays.
65:45So when I see those commentary, I'm like, yeah, they actually have a plan for Jadarian price that I think makes sense for your one Jadarian price.
65:53The plan is to not have him cut his teeth, trying to be a pass protector.
65:58Like the chiefs were going to try to do a CH when we knew he couldn't do it.
66:04Uh, they're just going to come out and say, Hey dude, we're going to put you in the game to run the football.
66:11And that's what he's going to do. So I'm like, yeah, this is actually makes a lot of sense.
66:17Why that, you know, to have a plan to use a guy like this, we still don't know if Charbonnet is going
66:24to play, but the fact that he's way ahead of schedule is a little bit dicey because like the one thing that
66:30you have with Jadarian price, especially in a format like this is like, you still need some touchdowns out of this guy.
66:37Like if he, if he ends up with five touchdowns, like what are you, what are you getting?
66:43There's a part of me that everyone sees. I'm Howie Mandel, the comedian.
66:47Apparently I know what funny is funny. He bought me a house, but I also know what isn't funny OCD.
66:53I've lived with OCD my entire life and people throw the term around like it's no big deal, but OCD is severe, often debilitating.
67:00It's a mental health condition that involves unrelented, unwanted thoughts that can make you question your character, your beliefs, even your safety.
67:07General therapy can help with some things, but for OCD, it can actually make things worse.
67:12That's why I want to tell you about NoCD.
67:14NoCD is the world's largest treatment provider for OCD and is covered by insurance for over 155 million Americans.

68:02That's code podcast at G-U-R-N-S dot C-O. Not that much.
68:05Yeah. I'm not interested in Charbonnet at all. I take him very, very...
68:09I mean, it has to be a really specific build.
68:12I just think unless this guy has access to the most breaking technology of gray market Chinese peptides, then I don't think
68:19there's really any way that he is impacting fantasy football.
68:22And I do wonder if the skill level of Helani and Wilson is low enough that, like, hey, we just took this guy 32 overall.
68:30Let's just let him play. Like, we don't... I know that the coaches last year were very regimented about the way they
68:37were using Sharbs and Walker to the point that Helani played like 30% of the snaps in the Super Bowl or whatever.
68:43So maybe I am just totally past it. Clint Kubiak is gone.
68:47How much of that was on the head coach or the running back coach?
68:51Like, I don't know. Like, it would be hard for me to say.
68:55But, like, Sharbs didn't have his ACL procedure until February.
68:58So you're looking at, like, late... Like, week 12.
69:01Like, week 12. Late October would be best case.
69:04So you've got a big runway for Price. I think the thing that I like the most about Price is I'm obviously unclear how good he is.
69:12And I think in terms of judging true talent level, it probably matters the least prospecting running back.
69:18Not even... I know that it matters the least in terms of prospecting running backs because they get given fantasy points instead of having to earn them.
69:26But if Price is quite good, and there's reasons to believe that his skill level would be, like, obfuscated based on who
69:33he played with in college because he was behind the third overall pick in the draft.
69:38And part of the reason why he stayed was that he was...
69:41Like, he did his Achilles his freshman year. His freshman year.
69:45And so maybe he never thought he was healthy enough to leave.
69:48Like, oh, like, I'm not going to go... I'm not going to transfer from Notre Dame to Southern Alabama and have a 2,000-yard season.
69:56And frankly, good bet by Jadarian Price. He's a first-round pick.
69:59He made a good bet. He bet on himself.
70:02He stayed at the school, and it ended up working out.
70:05He's got this huge runway. Like, if he's just awesome for the first month of the season, like, George Helani and Emmanuel
70:12Wilson are not taking touches away from him. They're not signing Najee Harris.
70:16Like, he's just going to keep getting the ball in a way that I think makes a ton of sense.
70:22Yeah, Seattle's an interesting team just because of all the changes, right?
70:26Like, we know they're not going to have... Even if they didn't have all the changes, we knew they just, by natural
70:33regression, were not going to be as efficient as they were last year.
70:37And then when you kind of factor in, you know, all the moving parts, you know, of losing Kubiak, you know, the backfield kind of emotion.
70:45People forget, too. They were a bad running team until very late last year.
70:49They were one of the worst, actually, rushing efficiency teams, like, basically through, like, 12 weeks.
70:54And then kind of found some stuff late. Does that roll over?
70:58Or is that something that was just kind of sporadic and, you know, kind of schedule induced?
71:03And then Kenneth Walker getting that run out in the playoffs.
71:06But harder schedule, too, for them as well. They're an interesting team to tackle.
71:10I remember I came on, I think, early on with you.
71:14And I, you know, JSN is a really tricky player, I think, at cost because he's a lot alike this year's Saquon Barkley.
71:21Where just, like, he had a season that's just so hard to replicate in terms of run out.
71:26And you obviously are now paying a top five pick on that type of player when there's just a lot of pulling threads.
71:33Yeah. Yeah. It's not that I think Jackson Smith is a bad player.
71:37I'm just saying this is completely fantasy football cost related.
71:40Yes. Just like Saquon last year. Yeah. All right, Reeves, man.
71:44Tell the people where they can get all of the Reeves goodies over on Sharp Football.
71:49What you've got planned for them coming up this offseason.
71:52And then I will let Mr. Branos in. Beautiful.
71:55Yeah, we just had the Sharp 2026 preview book come out.
71:58So all that work is done. So now that that's in the can and available, it's just, you know, full draft season content.
72:05I'll be coming out of Fourth of July. I have a different series every week till NFL kickoff formulating all of our draft plans.
72:12So look for that after Fourth of July. All right.
72:15There we go. Reeves, thank you very much for hopping on.
72:19I always appreciate your time, brother. Absolutely. Good luck, guys.
72:22All right. And bringing in the one and the only, I'm wondering, how's your voice doing, Greg?
72:27Are you fully, fully recovered from your 24-hour live stream?
72:30I mean, how good did sleep after that? Was that one of the best rests of your life?
72:36It actually took me a while to get to sleep because I think that's when this like Rich Samini report came out
72:42about Aaron Glenn saying that he wanted to deploy a three-headed monster in the backfield.
72:47But Aaron Glenn actually did not say that. So it was tough for me to get to sleep because it was itching at my craw.
72:55Itching at your craw. Who's your, of the current 32 head coaches, who's the worst?
72:59Who's the one that you have the greatest distaste for?
73:02Oh, man. I mean, as far as reliability, like Robert Sala has never been reliable.
73:07Never told the truth. But I like him as a person.
73:10I think he's a nice fella. Okay. As far as just like somebody who I don't like personally.
73:16Kyle Shanahan. No, I like. No, that's mine. Oh, no.
73:19Kyle Shanahan. You guys have Kyle Shanahan wrong, man.
73:22He is not this liar that you guys make him out to be.
73:26First off, I think he is a liar. No.
73:28But honestly, to me. The data proves you wrong.
73:31The data proves me wrong. Well, frankly, I honestly, and I don't even really care about that.
73:36I just find him grating and annoying. I just find, I just find his whole, he looks like a guy who in
73:43another lifetime would, would be asking you for a cigarette outside of a 7-Eleven in like Northern California.
73:49Like you're, you're on vacation with your family. You stop, you get gas here.
73:53You're doing whatever. And you're like, all right, I'm going to, I'm going to have a cigarette real quick.
73:59And Shanahan comes, Hey bro, got an extra one.
74:02Can I bum a light? He, that's, that's Kyle Shanahan.
74:05Yeah. Somebody, somebody in the chat said Sirianni. I can, I can get down with that.
74:10He's, he, he doesn't offer a lot as far as actionable coach speak.
74:14And he's just kind of a boring kind of guy.
74:17Yes. Uh, Siri, I mean, Sirianni also did, did one of the biggest, uh, errors that you can do where, uh, at
74:23his very serious, important job, he hired his buddy to do a job.
74:27He wasn't qualified for. And then didn't want the smoke that came with that.
74:32I mean, look, anyone it's like, uh, you know, I'm not going to vouch for any of you guys who hang out
74:38on my discord to go on Pete stream. If I don't think you can do it.
74:43Cause then the blowback for that is going to come, is going to come on me.
74:48You know what I'm saying? Like that tree. Yes.
74:51Yeah. You gotta, you gotta keep that tree. You gotta keep it pruned because when someone fucks up as bad as Kevin
74:58Petulo did, it reflects poorly on you. And Siri honey took new ownership of that.
75:02Um, at the, at the end of the day, he never was like, that's my bad.
75:07Right. That's my bad. Yeah. Cause he, he was a hand.
75:11They've been kind of alternating there in Philly with Sirianni.
75:14We'll handpick a guy. And then, uh, God damn it.
75:17Every time I say Sirianni, my, my Apple products go crazy, go crazy.
75:21I'm by the way, I'm waiting, I'm waiting for this draft to fill whenever, whenever I just entered, I have to enter
75:28it on my phone, uh, because the, the, okay, here we go.
75:31We're in the location software on all my products.
75:34Uh, every, every best ball product I'm on, they've, it's all been bad today.
75:38I don't know why weird. I, yeah, I, I really, I, I can't, I can't, I have not been able to enter
75:45into anything on my computer and we are drafting at nine, uh, in the, in the DK Millie, Greg.
75:51Have you tried the, the, the deposit button trick?
75:54No, I didn't, I didn't know this was a thing.
75:57Yeah. It was something that had worked with 100, 100%, um, of the time for me.
76:02And then the other day was the first time that it, it didn't work, but it's, it's a, it's a different type,
76:08I guess, like a more, I don't know if it's more precise or, but, but it's a different way of them verifying your location.
76:16And of course, you know, with the deposit button, like there's more emphasis there for them to make sure like a hundred, a hundred.
76:23Yes. No, a hundred billion thousand percent. It makes complete sense to me.
76:27Like, oh, we really got to get, we really got to get the, uh, the geolocation working when the customer is ready to put money on the website.
76:36So I have not tried that yet. Um, frankly, I've not deposited on one of these websites in a long time.
76:42Cause that's a real walk of shame to have to do.
76:45So I, I had, I, but now that you, now that you mention it, um, I will probably try that.
76:52I mean, some, sometimes I, it's just as easy as turning my computer off and back on or closing the Chrome tab and, and putting it back on.
77:00Um, you're, uh, all right. You're not the only person that's been experiencing this.
77:05I've, I've, I've heard it mentioned on other. It happens to everyone.
77:08Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I, I reached out to DK about that to let them know.
77:13Uh, okay. We are up at nine, which would mean we are probably going to get our pick between Taylor Jefferson or lamb.
77:20Do you have any big leans there between Taylor Jefferson and lamb?
77:24Not, not really. Yeah. I was going to say, you can, you can see from my exposures.
77:29I, I, I guess frankly, I'm lighter on St.
77:32Brown. That's honestly unintentional. It's just because I was taking so much Jefferson early on.
77:36I mean, these are my exposures going back to January.
77:39St. Brown just never falls. That's what makes it so hard to get.
77:43He never falls above market on them. Yeah. Yeah.
77:46He literally, he literally never falls. Um, Taylor, I don't love curious your thoughts on the, the Daniel Jones Achilles.
77:52Recovery. I don't know if you have anything really good on, on that.
77:56Cause I would just say I'm spooked. I, I, I, uh, Taylor lamb cook G and T.
78:01I mean, if you don't want Taylor, we can, we can take Taylor.
78:05I don't, I would also be down for Genty.
78:08Um, yeah, you know what? I just, it's never, it's just, it's just never, it's never slap baby.
78:14Yeah. It's just never look. If someone gives me the out, I'm happy to let my guests drive and draft a little
78:20bit more conservatively than I do or get exposed.
78:23But if they're going to, if they're going to give me the pick that I want anyway, I'm not going to push back.
78:30Yeah. I know your true heart Davis. You do.
78:33You do. Yeah. And my true heart is, I mean, frankly, like my, my heart of hearts ranking would probably have Genty third overall, fourth overall.
78:41Like if I was, if I was drafting a no market, no, no caring about my advance rate, no caring of people
78:48were going to screenshot my shit from the new best ball Palantir site.
78:52Yeah. I'd probably take Genty at three. I think.
78:54Yeah. He's a pretty, pretty good pick. You look at how much Clint Kubiak likes to run the ball when they get
79:01down near the goal line, upgraded offensive line through free agency and health.
79:05And an upgrade, obviously an offensive play caller. And yeah, Genty's just, he's a beast.
79:10Yeah. It's, it's so clear to me to see how he has the, the hashtag legendary upside season, you know, four and
79:16a half, four and a half catches per game, 20 touchdowns, 1500 rushing yards.
79:21Like it's really like I, and I wonder if one of the things is with it is that I watched so much
79:28of him play football in college that I just like, can't shake how insanely good he was.
79:33And then he, he dripped it out enough as a rookie with the two legendary performances, you know, was more efficient in
79:39the passing game than he had even projected to be.
79:43And one of the few guys who just is like, there's no competition for this guy on the roster.
79:48They're like, they are not going to play in there.
79:51They're going to be games where he receives every running back touch on the team.
79:56Like there'll be a couple of games where no other running back gets a touch of the ball.
80:02Yeah. I mean, Kubiak, they asked him about the workload split and, you know, people that there'd been that previous quote about,
80:08you know, like to kind of split it up between guys and, you know, have, have, have a good backup, that kind of stuff.
80:16And then the latest quote was, well, like, look at what Christian McCaffrey has done with his workload.
80:21Like we like to do that with Ashton. Yep.
80:24Uh, Barkley, Walker, London, Brown. I mean, frankly, Barkley for me.
80:27And then Walker, I was going to say, these guys to me are, are, uh, relatively flat here.
80:33All right. Uh, Barkley goes, you good with Walker?
80:36Oh yeah. Very good. All right. So, so here, dude, here's a chance.
80:40What do you got on Ken Walker? Where, how do you, how do you feel the chiefs like based on the stuff
80:46that you have got in, in the old coach speak database, how do you feel he's going to be deployed?
80:53Is this going to be Kareem hunt, but good?
80:55Is this going to be more like Kareem hunt?
80:58The first time. A lot of people watching this are probably too young to remember Kareem hunt.
81:03The first time on the Kansas city chiefs. Is this LaShawn McCoy?
81:07Is this Brian Westbrook? Like where, where, where do you, where are you coming down at on his, his workload?
81:13Well, I remember that first Kareem hunt game, I think against the Patriots, right?
81:17Like a primetime game fumbled and then scored three touchdowns.
81:20Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah. Eric B enemy on June 3rd in an oppressor was asked about Kenneth Walker and it was a
81:27lot of, um, like I love the enemy because he'll just, he'll, he'll give it to you like it is.
81:33And he was talking about love, love the enemy.
81:36Yeah. He was talking about the things that Kenneth Walker needs to get better at.
81:41Cause they asked him about that. And he talked about being a better player when the ball is not in his hands,
81:47uh, you know, past protection being a really good route runner.
81:51And then the efficiency, which that's, you know, if you look at old Kenneth Walker tape, or even, even some of the
81:58recent Kenneth Walker tape, like you understand what the enemy is talking about.
82:02Like they don't want him doing a lot of freelancing.
82:05It's like, okay, like this is where it's supposed to go.
82:08Let's kind of stay on this, on this running back track here.
82:12Um, and then you, you know, I have comments from Brett Veach earlier in the off season saying like kind of hinting
82:18months ago that Patrick Mahomes would be ready for week one, but we don't want him throwing the ball 50, 60 times out of the gate.
82:26So a lot of Kenneth Walker, they're very proud of how good their interior offensive line is.
82:32Like they've been talking that up quite a bit about the center and guards combo.
82:36Um, I, I, I do wish the chiefs had better tackles.
82:40Uh, that's a little bit of a concern, but yeah, there's not a lot of like, there's no Charbonnet in this backfield.
82:46Like we'll see what Emmett Johnson turns out to be, but yeah, like they, they paid him a bag.
82:52They, they paid him like a guy who they're going to play a shitload of snaps and it's just hard to see
82:59him ceding a ton of work to, to other people.
83:02I mean, it would be very hard for me to see Emmett Johnson or Di Mercado taking, I mean, maybe you could
83:09kind of work Di Mercado into the long down and distance guy kind of, but the, certainly not the McKinnon role, but
83:15maybe the P Ryan role from not last year, but the year before, I mean, P Ryan did nothing, but did take,
83:22you know, a decent chunk of the backfield. Famously, uh, iced the playoff game against the Buffalo bills had a 12 yard
83:29catch that led to a first down. The thing is though, and Corain has made this point the year that he got injured and only played 11 games.
83:38He actually was averaging over four catches per game.
83:40Like it, I think it is something that he can probably do a little bit.
83:45Um, all right, we are up really kind of fine with anyone here.
83:49Uh, I mean, wide receiver, uh, breeze, breeze is kind of a tear break at runoff shit.
83:54He went well, ETN. I don't hate. I like neighbors.
83:57I like Javante. What do you, what do you want to do here?
84:01How do you feel about lad? Lad is fine by me.
84:05I don't, so I don't, I don't love taking lad right now.
84:08Cause my reading of the tea leaves is that Keenan Allen will probably eventually sign there.
84:13Um, which will then nuke his average draft position.
84:16And means that you're just going to be up against a lot of combos that are worse than you.
84:22Frankly though, it doesn't, to me, the Keenan Allen thing is kind of immaterial in terms of how he projects because either
84:29Mike McDaniel has Justin Herbert, just absolutely throw in seeds, you know, third in the NFL in points per game, winning the
84:35division, or he doesn't, you know what I'm saying?
84:38Like I, like for the chargers to be a death star, Keenan Allen is not involved of the death star.
84:44You know, the, the, the death, the death star requires lad McConkie being like a legitimate JSN style breakout there.
84:50There is no death star without lad. Yeah. He's, uh, Keenan Allen is, is, is set up with a cushy job in the intergalactic Senate.
84:58Yes. You know, Keenan Allen, uh, you know, he presses the button to empty the trash compactor, but like, you know, he's,
85:05he's not, he's not up, uh, you know, charging the death ray or anything like that.
85:10Uh, I want to, I, neighbors would definitely be my pick here, but I'm, I'm open to whatever.
85:15I'm very open to neighbors. The, the, to me, it feels like, and I, I obviously don't study it, uh, to, to
85:22the depths that you do, but to me, the, the winds have changed with neighbors.
85:27Like the last like 10 days, it feels like the, oh shit, he goes.
85:31All right. What do you want to do here?
85:34Uh, we could go Garrett Wilson or TMAC. Yeah, let's go.
85:37Let's go Garrett Wilson. The, the way the wind is blowing with neighbors, specifically, uh, the most recent thing I read from Joe Shane.
85:44And it, it sounds like he has a pretty good chance of being active week one.
85:49Like certainly I wouldn't call it like a mortal lock or anything like that, but I feel, feel more bullish about his
85:56ability to play this season than, than I did, you know, uh, whatever two weeks ago.
86:01Yeah. I would, I don't think I'd call it more likely yet.
86:05Okay. I think there's a chance, but I mean, it's, it's been a lot of bearish stuff.
86:10It's been, it's been, it's been a lot of bear.
86:13So I will absolutely grant that there's been a lot of, you know, he's on national TV during the draft, barely able to walk.
86:20There's been Harbaugh, you know, like, yeah, you know, we'll see type stuff.
86:24Like I would say, I would say 80% of what I've heard has been bearish.
86:29Harbaugh said, if he's, if he's ready week one, great.
86:32If he's not ready, great. Yeah. Which is, that is, uh, that is very, very, very, very, very, very, very.
86:38Saying that he's in, in the slog of it, in the grind of it.
86:42Don't, don't like to hear slog. No, I never, I never want to hear slog.
86:47Obviously what I, what I would say is frankly, and this is, this is where my big bit disagreement with my, uh,
86:54ship chasing counterparty has been is that I don't give a shit because whatever I sacrifice in advance rate for Malik neighbors.
87:00And it certainly is some percentage of advance rate.
87:03He is going to project for so many more points than Garrett Wilson, than Ted, then Waddle, then McLaurin, then Adams, even the bird burden.
87:11I have the biggest burden bags. If you're giving me healthy burden, healthy neighbors, it's no contest.
87:16I'm going, I'm going neighbors a hundred percent of the time.
87:19Like if Malik neighbors held a press conference tomorrow with Joe Shane and with Harbaugh.
87:24And they said, it's actually, it's all been a send up.
87:27I'm fuck. I'm so good. My knee, my knee has never felt better.
87:31I'm going to do a backflip and then run a 40 right now.
87:35I'm going to run a 40 faster than I ran it when I was in college.
87:40He would be a one, two turn pick. He would, he would go, he would go where he might even go.
87:47He might even go ahead of that. If we, if he was a hundred percent healthy.
87:52And you know, if I'm only going to advance like 18% of my teams anyways, then I might as well try and
87:58get Malik neighbors on some of those teams that advance.
88:01Yeah. He's one of the few receivers where if you were to look at, you know, when he's healthy, you look at
88:08the box score after the game and you see that he, you see 10 targets.
88:13You're like, he only got 10 targets. Yes. He's, he's, he's a target vacuum.
88:17Yeah. He, he, and, and the, the only other target vacuum he ever played with is now, uh, applying his services and
88:24his trades for the Tennessee Titans, you know, like who, who is even, who is even close?
88:29Likely, likely is going to be like an 18% target share guy.
88:33Maybe Malachi feel like it's all jabronis. It's, it's neighbors and a bunch of jabronis.
88:37Um, I mean, I guess this is a huge ADP fall on DJ more who I don't like at all.
88:44Uh, Lamar is there. You, you got any thoughts here?
88:47I mean, typically I would take Lamar, but, but you know, if, if you want to get some DJ more, this is,
88:53I mean, this is like what, this is like a 10 spot.
88:57This is, this is an 11 spot ADP fall on DJ.
89:00Yeah. All right. I, I, against, against my better judgment.
89:03Um, how did that happen? Who, who went ahead of ADP?
89:07God, 57. I guess no one really went exceedingly early.
89:10I guess sometimes stuff like that just happens. That's crazy.
89:13The Josh Allen guy on the end was. Yeah.
89:16Josh, Josh Allen guy. He's tilting. Broke, broke his little heart.
89:19Yeah. Poor, uh, ideal early construction with neighbors. I think you want to do.
89:23Yeah. I think you want to do hero running back.
89:26And then I think you want to plan to have nine wide receivers.
89:30I think you want to plan on draft Kings.
89:33You want to plan to have an extra wide receiver, um, for, and, and in fact, he probably correlates just fine.
89:40You like, you can probably feel comfortable taking Slayton fields, Mooney, and just saying, I'm getting, I'm going to try and get the one.
89:47I'm going to try and squeak out 11 fantasy points per game out of these guys over the first month of the season.
89:54And while he, while he misses, what's your burden exposure thus far?
89:58Hi, hi. The bully 21%. I believe. I think he's my most drafted wide receiver.
90:02Um, I, I like, and, and Reeves was just making some anti-burden points, which I agree with overall in terms of how
90:09I would evaluate football as a whole. If I got to evaluate guys, like without ever having watched them play and just
90:16knew what size they were and things like that.
90:19But it's to me, there's, there's a little bit of, uh, yeah, you got to apply a little bit of that boy.
90:25Nice. When you're playing fantasy football and, and burden, I think probably leads the league right now in, in that boy.
90:32Nice for me. Can we fade one more, one more pick here?
90:36I mean, Quentin Johnson just went at 62. So I would say, never say never.
90:40Although this guy there, there's a chance this guy is auto drafting, which you don't, you don't love to see by now.
90:47I believe, well, Oh yeah, you're right. You're right.
90:50Cause it was, it used to be. So draft Kings has been, wow, let's go.
90:54You got to do it. Bang. All right. That's the both worlds where we are officially trying to not drop the baby now.
91:01Cause, cause DK used to have the, it was, so when it first started, it was two picks.
91:07You'd be an auto draft last year. It was six.
91:10And now I believe it is, is back to two.
91:13Um, yeah. What's the, I mean the, the coach speak on Luther burden could not be more bullish.
91:18Ben, Ben, Ben Johnson loves this dude. Ben Johnson.
91:21So obviously there is the big I'm buying stock in Luther burden, uh, quote that we got recently, but also super bullish
91:28is the fact that every time he is talking about the offense and the pass catchers, like Luther burden's name is always first.
91:35He's always leading off with Luther burden. And that includes when he's talking about like, you know, Colston Loveland, uh, in that,
91:42in that past catching group, he's talked about how Luther burden and Colston Loveland are going to be such a huge part of the offense.
91:49He's also talking again about how completion percentage is so important to them.
91:53That's like the number one thing that they're focusing on with.
91:57Caleb Williams is let's get the ball out. Let's get it to our playmakers, our guys, you know, with, with huge yak
92:04potential and then let them do what they do best.
92:07And that's, that's Luther burden and Colston Loveland. Yeah.
92:09Yeah. And, and I don't think, I don't think Rome is like some big zero or anything like that, but I think
92:16Loveland and burden are special players of their archetype.
92:19Like if you look at their ability relative to other guys who play.
92:23Like a duns and burden effectively play different positions.
92:26Right. Um, and if you look at a duns a in terms of guys who are of his body size, who run
92:32his similar routes, who have similar a dots, I don't consider him special.
92:36If you look at burden compared to other guys, his size, who run his routes, who run as a dot, he seems quite special to me.
92:44Um, and you know, in terms of his ability to generate separation, his ability to generate yak.
92:50And to me, I would bet that Ben Johnson thinks the same way that I do, where he looks at these guys
92:56and he's like, dude, I can create so much cool shit with Luther burden as the engine.
93:02Oh yeah. And he, I'm sure he accepts that like the Roma dunes, a position has to exist in his offense, but
93:08that's not what is getting his wheels turning. Yeah.
93:11And burden being so like, so good out of the slot, but also on the outside as well.
93:17Like he's not just a, Hey, this guy destroys in the slot, but we can't play him anywhere else.
93:22Like that's, that's great. I think we're also going to see a bunch of, uh, not a bunch, but I think we'll
93:29see more hook and ladder plays than ever before from a, for sure.
93:33Johnson offense. And I wonder if that, I think we're going to see teams do a lot of stuff like that this
93:40year, just as coaches get so frustrated with not being able to score points.
93:44My, my guess is chicanery is going to be at an all time high league wide.
93:49That, that is a, that is a guess. I feel comfortable.
93:53Yeah. Munkin has talked about it as well. All right.
93:56We're up in one pick. We have Lamar, Gentie, Walker, lad, Garrett, Wilson, DJ Moore.
94:00What do you want to do here? I like Warren here.
94:04I was going to say side, sidekick would definitely be Warren there.
94:07Um, and he, he really does feel like the last of a tier at running back, like price.
94:13So I think running back is like price is a huge tier break to these next guys.
94:18And then to me, Warren is then the end of like, I would say price is the end of a tier.
94:24I would say Warren is the end of a cliff where like after Warren, I'm talking about guys who like might not
94:31average eight fantasy points a game after, after he goes, I still think price needs to fall just a little bit more.
94:38Yeah. I, I mean, I argue about this stuff with, um, with Jacob and Corrine all the time.
94:43And, you know, in some ways, Greg, I'm a simple man.
94:47First, first round, first round running back on a team that's going to run the air out of the ball.
94:53I kind of don't care about like yards per contact before attempt and passing down.
94:58It's just like that guy's going to score 10 touchdowns.
95:01Do you care about the fantasy playoffs though? Um, their schedule is miserable.
95:05It's, it's so bad. Yeah. It's so bad. And, and Charbonnet will probably be back.
95:09Yeah. To me, Charbonnet is like, if he comes back great, but like Charbonnet didn't have much juice to give before.
95:16So how, what is, what is nine month ACL recovery Charbonnet going to look like in an NFL game?
95:21I don't know. They might not care. Could be fine.
95:25They might not care. They might not care. We see this with coaches all the time.
95:29We saw the Rams play Cam Akers coming off of a, like a five month ACL recovery.
95:35Yeah. Um, all right. We are about to be up at pick.
95:38We are up at pick 88. Uh, what are you thinking?
95:42Hmm. It's kind of a, kind of a gross range.
95:45I, I, I do like Godwin in this area.
95:48I like Godwin. I like Godwin just fine. That gives us another quarterbacks.
95:52We just lost Herbert. Uh, so let's take Godwin.
95:54So we've got, uh, and, and, uh, we, so we, Josh Allen's gone.
95:58I guess we already, I mean, we already have Lamar and, um, where are you at?
96:03Where are you at on Andrews? I'm a big Andrews drafter.
96:07Where are you at there? Yeah. I, I don't know.
96:10He's, he's, he's a hard one for me to kind of wrap my, my brain around.
96:15Like, I'm sure he's going to be involved there.
96:17Um, I think we'll see probably a decent amount of 11 personnel from the Ravens this year.
96:23And Andrew's probably the, the, the wide tight end there.
96:26So like he'll be on the field a lot.
96:28I'd imagine get, get a decent amount of routes, but like he, he, he doesn't look like a spring chicken anymore.
96:35He, he does not look like a spring chicken anymore.
96:38I mean, and I have frankly posited this. It doesn't really matter at tight end.
96:43You can, you can get by at the tight end position.
96:46So at the tight end position, you either need to be a mega freak.
96:50You need to be Ken, you need to be Kenyan Sadiq.
96:54You need to be Rob. You need to be freakier than freaky.
96:57Sadiq going rounds later, by the way. So Sadiq, a great pick too, in my opinion, or you need to have a, you need to have guile.
97:06I, I, I mean, I called it, you know, this is how Keenan Allen.
97:10I mean, what do you think Keenan Allen runs in a 40 right now?
97:14Five, five, maybe, you know, it's kind of, it's kind of a head start.
97:18Yeah. It's kind of the, the Andre Miller, you know, it's just like I, that get some of these guys, they can
97:25just get there cause they, they know the game.
97:28Yeah. Mark Andrews for sure knows the game. Mark Andrews could, you know, Antonio Gates could, could put the pads on right
97:35now and go, go catch a touchdown against an NFL defense.
97:38What hour will take 50? Probably he could. Yeah.
97:41We saw Ben, Ben Watson do it till he was about 50.
97:44Yeah. You, you like the tight end position. You can kind of just get by based on, on know-how it's, it's such a hard position.
97:52The intricacies of tight end are so hard that if you are one of these guys who just like gets it, you're
97:59just, you're just one of those guys. And Mark, Mark Andrews is one of those guys.
98:04He's a, he's a great tight end. Uh, all right.
98:07We are up in two picks. We have a one, three, four, one.
98:11This is the easiest pick of all time right here.
98:14Is it? Yeah. Okay. I'm not going to ruin it.
98:17I'm not going to ruin it. All right. We're up.
98:20Yeah. It's Jonathan Brooks. All right. Hey, talk to me.
98:23Talk. Cause I, we, I am, I'm now transitioning to, to pretty aggressively drafting Jonathan Brooks.
98:28He's a head and shoulders of better talent than Chuba Hubbard, who was not explosive, uh, last year has never been like a, a very explosive back.
98:36He's a decent pass catcher, but he's nothing like Jonathan Brooks in the passing game, which they talked about, like how much
98:43Jonathan Brooks brings to the table as a pass catcher, uh, Dave Canales months ago alluded to the, well, not even alluded,
98:50just like straight up said that Jonathan Brooks could be a starter for us this year.
98:55And I, I, I just think that offense works so much better with Jonathan Brooks.
98:59Who's a better running back than Chuba Hubbard and people, oh, like we haven't seen Jonathan Brooks do anything, blah, blah, blah, like back to back ACL.
99:08Well, the first ACL, uh, they fucked up the surgery, which led to the second one being necessary after he tore it.
99:14This one was done by the goat, uh, orthopedic surgeon, Dr.
99:18Neil Ella trashy. And, um, you know, every, everything right now is looking good.
99:22So I, I think he'll get kind of eased in early in the season.
99:26Uh, they're not going to put like a, a big workload on them, but like he'll, he'll get enough work to show
99:33the difference between those two running backs. Brother, Jonathan Brooks was, I mean, he was brother.
99:38He was different gravy in college. He really, he really, he really was.
99:42If he wasn't coming off an ACL, he would have been a first round pick.
99:47He had 103 rushing yards per game, 26 receiving yards per game.
99:50I I'd have to pull up a different tab to pull up his like yards per route run and everything.
99:56But he was, he was, he was different gravy at, uh, at, at Texas.
100:01He, he really was. He, I mean, um, the, the receiving yards per team pass attempt, which is kind of like the
100:07skeleton key for running back production in the NFL.
100:10He was, he was awesome at that. Yeah. So you look in this area where like Blake Corum is going and yes,
100:17Blake Corum has standalone value, but unlikely that he is just going to take that job over from Kyron Williams and end
100:24up with like a 70% point, 0.24, 0.24 receiving yards per team pass attempt is really, really strong.
100:29Um, he, he, he's a, he's a very, very good player.
100:33He's a, he, he elevates the offense. Yeah. Uh, all right.
100:36We are back up. What are you, what are you thinking here?
100:40Should we grab a guy? I can, I can fuck with Kittle or, or, uh, or, or Baker with Godwin actually.
100:46I think we could wait a little bit for Baker.
100:49I bet quarterback is gone by the time we get back up.
100:53Okay. We can, we can, we can do QB if you want.
100:57I, I bet by the next time I bet by the next time we pick the top quarterback available is going to be Darnold.
101:04I bet they're, but they're all going to be gone.
101:07Yeah. Possibly was 129 or next. Like Jonathan, let me pull up Jonathan Brooks's final season at Texas.
101:13Cause it, I, I know it's, I know it's easy to, uh, I know it's easy to discount these guys.
101:19I mean, also here's another thing. He's been in our lives so long.
101:23We're like, Oh, Jonathan Brooks, he's, he's been around forever.
101:26Jonathan Brooks is 22. Yeah. Now today. Right. Which is another factor in his favor, like young, you know, when you're talking
101:32about ACL injuries, injuries of this type, young, very athletic athletes, um, you know, come, come back better, uh, from, from those types of injuries.
101:40And he is going to be about two years removed from that.
101:44Like he, they sat him for all of last season.
101:47And they also very important. They did not draft a running back.
101:51They had plenty of opportunities in the draft to take a running back.
101:55They did not bring anyone in except for AJ Dillon, who, if you think he's a threat to Jonathan Brooks's workload, um, he's not newsflash.
102:02Yeah. That's, that's, that's very bullish that they are confident that Jonathan Brooks will be available and productive for them.
102:08Um, yeah. I like, I, I actually think that right there is the big signal is that knowing Jonathan Brooks's scattered health
102:15history, it would have made a lot of sense for them to spend a fourth round pick on a running back to
102:22retain the services of Rico Dowdle at a pretty reasonable contract.
102:25Like what Dowdle got, like what? 8 million or something like that.
102:29I don't think it was anything close. It might, it might not.
102:33Let me pull up here. Let's make this pick and then I'll pull up Rico Dowdle's bow track.
102:38Uh, I mean, I think Kincaid, Kincaid. Kincaid huge.
102:41Over, over Andrews? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Hey. We'll, we'll, we'll push Andrews back around.
102:45You're, you're a guest in my domicile. I'm, I'm happy to allow that.
102:49I mean, this is a crazy fall for Kincaid.
102:52It is right. Rico Dowdle's bow track. Rico Dowdle signed a two year, $12 million contract with $5 million guaranteed.
102:58He can be cut after this season by the Steelers for two and a half million dollars of dead cap.
103:04Uh, yeah. Ollie Gordon ran Ollie Gordon, awful pass catching in Oklahoma state.
103:08And I say this as an Ollie Gordon guy.
103:11I say this as an, I say this as an Ollie Gordon guy.
103:15I, how about this? Jonathan Brooks had more receiving yards per game and more receptions per game than B.
103:21John Robinson. Same team, same coach, same quarterback. Not saying that Jonathan Brooks is better.
103:25I'm just saying like the evidence that we have for how these guys exist in the NFL, the outside of draft capital,
103:32the number one thing that correlates to future fantasy point scoring is receiving work.
103:36It's the, it's the, it's the, I mean, you could ask Coraine, you can ask JJ Zachary, you can ask anyone you want.
103:43They'll tell you the number one thing that they do is I, you can actually do it.
103:49I mean, raw receptions work, but receiving yard per team pass attempt is the number one.
103:54Yeah. And I like, frankly, if the Jonathan Brooks bet, if the Jonathan Brooks bet doesn't work, that's, it's one, it's the, it's one I'm comfortable losing.
104:02You know, the type of bet I'm not comfortable losing.
104:05Like when I'm doing my post-mortem of the best ball season, it'll be, I know Javante Williams stinks.
104:11I know Javante Williams is going to score fantasy points below expectation, but I took a bunch of them anyway, because I
104:17was scared of having a bad advance rate and, and like, whatever, like that to me is like, okay, you just, you
104:24knew you were making a mistake and you didn't change your behavior.
104:28Wow. Look at that, Greg Andrews. We are locked in.
104:31Okay. Lamar, Gentie, Walker, lad, Garrett Wilson, DJ Moore, Dalton Kincaid, Jalen Warren, Chris Godwin, Jonathan Brooks, Baker Mayfield, and Mark Andrews.
104:38That's a, that's what speaking of coach speak, Jaden blue arrows, arrows are up, dude.
104:42Arrows, arrows are back. Yeah, we are. We have, look, I have, we have never, we have never been more back than
104:49we are back on, uh, on the quotes about him this year, uh, not being about Louis Vuitton shoes, Gucci shoes, Louis Vuitton, Louis Vuitton cleats.
104:57Yeah, we did, we did get the Louis Vuitton, uh, cleat stuff early, early, I believe in the off season, but we're, we're off of that now.
105:05Well, the, the roster watch guys went to the senior bowl, the Cowboys coaches, senior bowl or shrine, but I don't remember one.
105:12And they asked, they, they asked some of the Cowboys coaches, um, you know, oh, you know, how's he doing?
105:18Like, well, are you guys going to get anything out of him?
105:22And, and the quote from the roster watch guys was that they laughed.
105:26Like they asked him about Jaden blue contributing to the team this year and they laughed.
105:31Oh no. Yeah. Damn. But that was before they knew he turned over, he turned over a new leaf.
105:37Yeah. He's, he's, he's a completely new person now.
105:39He's a completely new guy. There's no chance that this guy who was super lazy last year will ever revert back to being lazy again.
105:47I mean, it's, it's, it's going a long way back on Jaden blue.
105:51Like this was something I didn't know before I drafted him a ton last year, but apparently he quit high school football.
105:58He quit on his teammates. Yes. Yes. He quit.
106:01He said, I'm done. I'm out. Why? Not playing.
106:03Yeah. Jesus. Things, things that could have been brought to my attention, uh, before I invested like a Mazda Miata in him
106:10last year would have been, would have been nice to know.
106:14Didn't, didn't get that information in time. And I got, frankly, I got people, this is how, this is how deep it went.
106:21I had people like connected people reaching out to me, like via DM being like, I can't say this publicly, but like
106:27the Jaden blue stuff is worse than, you know, like he's a, he's a total loser.
106:32Man. Yeah. Yeah. I don't, it's hard. It's hard to buy back in on somebody like that because it's, it's, it is pretty hard.
106:40Uh, okay. We're up whoever you want, sir. What do we, what do we need here?
106:45Probably a wide receiver. Yeah. Probably a wide receiver.
106:47Unless any of these people up receiver. I think I'm a tree Tucker here or Travis Hunter, Travis.
106:53Um, you know what? I'm fine with Trey Tucker.
106:56That's another one where I'm kind of trying to eat my vegetables.
106:59I play Tucker. They're good for you. Dave. It's like, dude, Trey Tucker.
107:03He probably, you know, it's like I've, as an adult, I've discovered that like roasted cauliflower in the oven is like actually pretty good.
107:11It's like not really that gross. Like that that's Trey Tucker.
107:14It's a little bit of olive oil, a little bit of lemon juice.
107:18Like it's fine. Like you can eat it. You don't need to, you don't need to be, you don't have to just,
107:25you don't have to be a carnivore, you know?
107:27Yeah. We, we can, we can do hot ones with cauliflower.
107:31I was going to say Travis Hunter, Travis Hunter is like, uh, Reese's peanut butter cups that you have in the cabinet
107:38that you're like, I know I really shouldn't get those, but like what's just gonna have one.
107:43Yeah. A little peanut, I have a little peanut butter.
107:46And then you have three, you know, like, okay, I'm, I feel sick now.
107:50My, my blood sugar is spiking now cause I just had a Reese's peanut butter cup after, after dinner.
107:56Yeah. I'm a, I'm a kinder guy. I just had a, had a couple before jumping on here.
108:02Yeah. There's Hey, peanut butter and chocolate. Who knew?
108:04It's actually, it's actually, or kinder, kinder is a hazelnut, right?
108:08Kinder is, I don't think there's hazelnut. That's Ferrero Rocher.
108:11Oh, you're right. You're right. Kinder is just delicious chocolate.
108:14Man, don't make me, don't make me hungry right now.
108:17All right. So we got to decide if we want this to be a three quarterback team because they'll, all this group
108:24of guys will be gone by the next time.
108:26You think Gino will be gone next time? Uh, Gino will probably be there because there's a pending.
108:32Yeah. Mendoza falls a bit as well. What the Bowers guy, what does he have?
108:37The Bowers guy, the Bowers guy is to our right.
108:40Right. And he has Josh Allen and Bow next before him.
108:43Yes. We're going to pick before him. So let's leave that.
108:46Yeah. And should we take Hunter? Let's have, dude, let's have a little bit of peanut butter.
108:52Let's leave. I mean, come on, man. Yeah. Come on.
108:55Let's, let's, uh, let's live a little there. What is this?
108:58160 something? 160. What's the deal with Jalen Naylor and Trey Tucker?
109:02Why, why did the Raiders not, why did the Raiders not do anything?
109:06Or I guess they did do something at wide receiver.
109:09It was giving Jalen Naylor $33 million. What's the deal there?
109:12Yeah, dude, they fucking love Trey Tucker. Like Clint Kubiak cannot stop talking about this guy.
109:17And, and, you know, part of it is just like the insane work ethic and culture and all that stuff, but also
109:24the, like they're into the talent and people keep asking them.
109:27I know like Kay Adams was pressing their general manager.
109:30Oh my God. And if Kay Adams asked, these dudes will say anything to Kay Adams.
109:35They will give it up. You get, you look.
109:38Send Kay Adams to Guantanamo. If you ever need an answer out of someone, you get them a five minute spot on
109:45up and Adams because those guys will say anything, dude.
109:48It's great. Like the NBA players who go on with her, dude.
109:51I mean, it's great. These guys will say in like, they would never say this in a normal interview.
109:57And they're just like, oh yeah, you know, I hated that guy.
110:01Like we were teammates, but like, fuck that guy.
110:04Like that guy sucks. It's, it's, it's insane. It's wild.
110:07Yeah. Hey, she's very, she's very good at her job.
110:10She knows how to get those dudes talking. Yeah.
110:13But yeah. Spy tech. She asked spy tech. She was like, are you guys going to bring in another receiver?
110:19Like what, what's going on? He's like, we love our receivers.
110:22Like we love Trey Tucker. I do wonder if, I mean, obviously that's a potential Debo spot.
110:27There. That's, that's the one that has made the most sense to me.
110:31The need is so obvious and they have the money to do it.
110:35And Debo. Oh, I was about, I was about to say Debo.
110:39It lives in the area. Forgetting that they moved to Las Vegas.
110:43Like what? Like five years ago now, three years ago now.
110:46So I'm, I'm the old, I'm the old guy there.
110:49Damn. And doesn't went off. You're right. Have you heard anything on where Debo's going?
110:54Cause like, obviously like, yeah, that, that's a, that's an interesting one.
110:57Cause there, I keep taking him. Like someone's going to sign him, but maybe, maybe he is of the age where some
111:04team is like, actually, you know what? We're, we're good.
111:07We're good on that. You don't think one out of 32 teams will be like, we could use this guy.
111:13You know, he, he is a very specific type of wide receiver.
111:17You can't just be like, all right, you're going to go be our blank wide receiver.
111:22You're just going to go fill this position. Like he, he, I mean, this was even true for him all the way back at South Carolina.
111:30Like he has to be used in a way that matches his skill.
111:34Like if you asked him to just go be Torrey Horton, I don't think he could do it.
111:39Yeah. He, he, he, Debo is Debo. He can't, he can't really do anything else.
111:44Or it's like digs, any team that signs digs, like, okay, well, he's just a normal, like flank or wide receiver.
111:50You don't have to like invent a system for him.
111:54Okay. We are up. We did not get any of the quarterbacks.
111:57So we should probably, we probably just want to take Tucker and just be done at running back.
112:03Cause we have Baker. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. That that's, that's about as good as we can do there.
112:08Yeah. I mean, I guess we should have taken Mendoza, but like he got, he got snapped off by the nailer drafter.
112:15Yeah. Yeah. Bills reach out for Debo. I just like, they have, they have six different versions of Debo.
112:21They have, they have the, they have the Charizard, Charmeleon and Charizard, Charmeleon and Charmander of Debo because they have Khalil Shakur, DJ Moore and Skylar Bell.
112:29Like they, they already, they already have enough guys to run screens.
112:33They don't need another guy to run screens. Like they're good.
112:36You know where it would make a lot of sense for Debo is Washington.
112:40Well, frankly, I would get, I would bet that's their plan.
112:44I would bet they're like, if we cannot figure this stupid Brandon Iyuk thing out, we will just give Debo $8 million
112:51to come back and play for us again. What is there to figure out with, with Iyuk?
112:56All right. You know what? I say we just don't even mess around and we just take Terrence Ferguson here.
113:02Yeah. I, I, I, it's Terrence Ferguson is now.
113:05Ain't gotta sell me, buddy. He, he is now trendy enough that you basically just have to take him.
113:11Like you, like you can't be like, oh yeah, he'll, he'll fall.
113:14He doesn't fall anymore. It's over. I, I, I have seen him go in such a range of between like 15th and like 19th round lately.
113:22Yeah. It's been, it's been insane. I mean, basically it's just like, it's just like, are the 12, are the 11 other guys in your draft?
113:30Are they regular watchers of best ball content on YouTube?
113:33If they are, he's going in the 16th round.
113:36If they're not, yeah, you can get them at, at ADP.
113:39But if anyone watches best ball content on YouTube, like the, everyone is in on, on T Ferg, the right wing boomers,
113:46the left wing slot, everyone's drafting T Ferg. ETR has them ranked ahead of ADP leg up.
113:51I think has them ahead of eight. Every, everyone loves T Ferg.
113:55Yeah. They're too busy drafting Charlie Kalar. I had a, I did a draft with sacrilegious yesterday.
114:00And, and at the end I was like, all right, man, like sell me.
114:05Tell me on why Eli Stowers over Terrence Ferguson, because it seems like, like, I, you know, I could sell you that pen.
114:12I actually get that one. I mean, not, not, not like in what world could he be better?
114:17Cause like, yeah, obviously these guys all have different floors and ceilings, but there are some real questions with Stowers who I have a lot of.
114:25I've drafted a lot of Eli Stowers. Like he's probably my, I don't know, like my third most drafted tight end because he's going very late.
114:33And, you know, like Nick Sirianni recently said, like this guy is just such a unique mismatch at, at that position.
114:40But also like, we gotta, we gotta work on the blocking with him and he hasn't played the position long and all that.
114:47And then with, with Terrence Ferguson, man, like how, how is he not the third leading receiver for the Rams if they don't bring anybody else in?
114:55Let me, so I, I, we actually, we actually played this game the other day on, uh, on the stream, which is,
115:02um, guess the Mike Clay projection, which I am the absolute goat at.
115:06I got, I got like multiples of guys within like five yards.
115:09Like I, I, I know my, I know my projections, but the, the base projection for T Ferg is so bullish.
115:16You like won't even believe it. The, the freaking third tight end on the Rams, depending on your perspective, 42 catches, 535 yards, five thuds.
115:23I mean, first off, if he does that, which is just his base projection, you are like running naked in the streets
115:30for how good of a pick he is. And which is to not say like, what if Devonta Adams gets hurt?
115:37What if the Rams have, are just as efficient passing the ball as they were last year?
115:42Like there are ways where he finishes as like, like he's the, um, we made this comp yesterday.
115:47He's the Julius Thomas 12, 12 touchdowns on 72 targets.
115:50Like he can, he can do that. He really can.
115:53I think, I think double digit touchdowns would be a bit tough with, uh, Devonta Adams and Puka there.
115:59Uh, all right. We're up here. I would say wide receiver.
116:03I would say, I would say wide receiver. Yeah.
116:05Hmm. You got a favorite here. I mean, I don't want to lose Surratt.
116:10Hey, we can, we can take Surratt. It's fine by me.
116:13Get, get the stack. These, you know, Hey, these are all dollar players at the end.
116:18I do not care. Um, our tight end position is Kincaid, Andrews, Teeferg.
116:22This would be a team where I'd be comfortable taking four.
116:25Yeah, for sure. I'm, I'm, I'm taking so much for tight end builds, but, but you know, for later tight ends, starting with guys like Kincaid.
116:33Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's, that's fine. That's fine by me.
116:36Um, Kincaid's going to have a big, big year fellows.
116:40Well, I hope the lava lamp in his knee is fully repaired.
116:43That's all I got to say. Are you at all ever taking Watson to a penics?
116:48Shoulder like any of the, the, the non clear playing time quarterbacks.
116:52I take some penics. I think he will end up being the guy there.
116:56I don't know if it's going to be, you know, if he'll be ready week one and I could also see them
117:03ping ponging a little bit of like one of these guys starts and the other, like he's so bad that the other is brought in.
117:11And then that guy is so bad that, that they have to go back to the, the original, but God, that is so the thing you're saying.
117:19That is so bearish, man. That, that right there, the ping ponging is just like, Oh, that's going to be tough football
117:26to watch if that's the way it plays out.
117:28I mean, same true for the Browns. Like if Shadur and Watson are like trading starts, that is going to be some
117:35of the darkest football you can possibly imagine. Rough stuff.
117:38We looking at tight end or I mean, if you, do you have a favorite like later running back?
117:44I know, I know the, the leg up boys are not so in on this strategy, but do you have a favorite here or running wide receiver?
117:52Let's see here. You take Iuke. No, I don't.
117:55I don't take Iuke pull up running back again.
117:58I mean, we could go Halani. I'm anti Halani.
118:01I'm not enjoying that one. Claiborne? Yeah, we can go Claiborne.
118:04Did I get it in? I didn't get it in.
118:07We took Tyreek. See, that's so there's, there's a little, there's a little bit of latency on UD where you get like
118:14a half second to make it click even after it gets to zero.
118:18I got to, I mean, that is, that's pretty dire right there.
118:21Cause I don't, I don't think Tyreek is going to be back until like November or whatever.
118:27Yeah. Maybe helps us out week 17. Hey, you, you truly never know.
118:31I did see here. If you want some copium, I did see some anonymous fantasy football account.
118:36I get all these on my for you page.
118:39They, they said that Tyreek Hill is this year's Christian Watson.
118:42Everyone writes them off injury issues, whatever, whatever. But modern, modern medicine.
118:46He's back way before everyone thinks he signs with the team.
118:49He's impacting fantasy football in like week 10. Well, I really doubt it.
118:53Some key differences though. One being a big gap in their age and the other being the type of injury that these
119:00guys were returning from now, if you were to choose one NFL player who would find some experimental recovery drug to take,
119:06to get one more season out of their body though, Tyreek could be pretty high on the list.
119:12He'd be pretty high up on that. I don't think he would have many qualms about being like, Hey man, I'm going
119:19to, I'm going to go to this sketchy clinic in South Florida that has boutique peptides and I'm going to just take whatever they give me.
119:27Yeah. You, you, you need a translator to tell you what's on, on, on the box that those peptides comes in.
119:33A hundred, a hundred percent. Tyreek released a new YouTube video.
119:37How healthy is he in this video? Listoic. Is he running?
119:40Is he running? Does he have a brace on?
119:43How does his knee look? That's, that's where I'm at.
119:46It's a, it's a wrap video with Darren Waller.
119:49Please tell me that's a joke. Please say psych.
119:51It's a joke. I've, I've not seen this. All right.
119:54I'm going to video. This is going to mess up.
119:57This is going to mess up my algorithm. To go to Tyreek's YouTube channel.
120:02Horrible. I should go on one of my alt channels, but cheetah reborn intro four days ago.
120:07Uh, going to get to the end here. You know, I got to be honest.
120:12It's kind of bullish. I got it. I got it.
120:15I got to be honest. He is getting something he's getting.
120:18He he's doing, he's literally doing, um, not box jumps.
120:21Uh, the, the, what is the ball? The medicine ball?
120:24No, no. The half ball. It starts with a B.
120:27Oh, you know, it's, it's got the, it's got the flat and then it's, I was going to handle.
120:33No, I'm going to pull it up here in a second.
120:36We're going to make, we're going to make this back and I'll pull it up.
120:41What, uh, what, what are we picking here? What position?
120:44I would say wide receiver. I would say we need a wide receiver.
120:48Uh, Horton is a guy I like, uh, Brazel Thornton.
120:51Do we, we, I love Thornton. Yeah. I love Thornton, bro.
120:55Thornton's the guy. All right. Let me see if I can pull this up.
120:59Uh, all right. This. Bosu ball. Somebody saying. Bosu ball.
121:02Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Would have driven me nuts.
121:05Um, here you go. He's doing, he's doing the Bosu ball.
121:09Okay. Bosu ball with, Bosu ball with no brace on.
121:12Hmm. Oh, is that a, is that a brace?
121:14No, I think that's a brace. Yeah. It's, or it's some weird short, short sling.
121:19Slash pants. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. He's got a brace on.
121:23He's got a brace on, but you know what?
121:26I'm going to, I'm going to call that. I'm going to call.
121:29I, I, it could be, it could be a brace.
121:32It could, it might just be a sleeve. If it's just a sleeve.
121:36Like if I told you Tyreek played week three, where would you have, and I didn't even tell you the team, but
121:43I just told you Tyreek is active playing week three.
121:46Where, where would you start to take him? And you want to take a, do you want to take a running back?
121:53Or a fourth tight end? I think we're good at running back.
121:56I think we can take a tight end here.
121:59All right. We can take. Kolar, Delp, Rairden. I'd be down for either Tongass, Mayer, or Kolar.
122:04All right. Wherever, wherever the fuck Sacrilegious and Shady are right now.
122:08Just, uh, you, you got, you, you got Kolar.
122:11Well, we'll take it. I mean, just, just whatever, man.
122:14Let's go. The audio is all about revenge and don't doubt me and don't mess with my money.
122:20Yeah, dude. I'm saying I'm, I look. What I, what I'll say is it's not going to surprise me if Tyreek ends
122:26up being a way better pick than Brandon. I uke.
122:29Yeah. You can say, you can say whatever you want about Tyreek.
122:33Tyreek's not a very good dude. Tyreek has really never covered himself in glory in terms of like his, uh, morals or ethics or anything.
122:41He has always played and he has always gotten back from injuries.
122:44He is like, I don't know, man. Like if I told you if like, okay.
122:49So if I told you he's going to play week three, where would you start taking him?
122:54I didn't tell. I'm not telling you where, but he plays week three, plays week three and he's, he's like fully healthy.
123:0167% of the routes week three. I mean, I think you've got to take him in the like eighties or nineties.
123:07I was going to say gut, gut check was nineties.
123:10Gut check was just first, first thought you're taking him.
123:14Godwin downs, Pittman, Addison, worthy, Pierce all that, that range.
123:17That was my, that was my first gut instinct.
123:19Cheetah reborn months of silence, countless days of hard work and pain.
123:23This is the beginning of the next chat. I mean, dude, that's so.
123:27This is what I should be doing. I, by the way, this is what I should be doing.
123:33Brandon I should not be posting Instagram videos of him throwing money around acting like a dick.
123:38It should be I'm training. I'm running routes. Yeah.
123:41Um, um, and, and, and the song you put over that video.
123:44Is about money. Yes. Oh man. I frankly, I wish I didn't see that.
123:48I wish you guys didn't show me that. Cause I've kind of been looking for an excuse anyway.
123:54This is a great pick here. Now Tyreek doesn't even on in 18 round drafts.
123:59He doesn't need, he's not even a hundred percent drafted anymore.
124:02I really wish I didn't. I don't know, man.
124:05That was just a brutal, brutal injury. And he's an older guy who relies a bit on speed.
124:10Not, not, not completely, but. I mean, yeah. And the last time we saw Tyreek, he wasn't like blow the, blow the doors off good anyway.
124:18Right. He was. And he won't be with Mike McDaniel.
124:21Most likely. He won't be with Mike McDaniel. But he also won't be with Tua.
124:26Most likely. Uh, yeah. I was about to say he won't be with Mahomes, but I guess you can't say that.
124:32I guess he could be with Mahomes. His, his last game before he got injured six for 67.
124:38He did have six for one Oh nine against the Patriots.
124:41And we too. I don't, I don't know, man.
124:44Shit. Oh shit. The Michael Corleone. Yeah. Pulling the fist.
124:47Okay. This is another thing. All off season. He, not the whole time.
124:51Cause he's been back in South Florida to rehab, but he has been in Kansas city a ton.
124:57He's been working out in Kansas city. He's been actually one of the videos he posted was at my old gym, uh, um, on 85th street in Olathe.
125:05Like he, he's been in Kansas city. He's been doing, he's been doing things there.
125:10So how are you feeling on, on Iuke? I feel like if you, if you put me on the, the chess, Liam, like I'm taking it.
125:18And like 30% of him, he's going to play to the, the Corrine.
125:22Like I'm taking 0% of them. I'm not interested at all.
125:25Yeah. Probably right about in the middle. I think there's like a better than 50, 50 chance.
125:30He plays for the commanders this year. I just am not, I'm not certain about how great he is going to play.
125:37Cause the thing is, is I, you, if you really look at it really only had one great season, he really only
125:44had the one crazy year where he just absolutely sun run, um, efficiency, you know, one, one year with above 60 yards
125:51receiving per game, one year with above 10 yards per target.
125:54Like he's, he's a good player, obviously. But to me, this is a lot different than like, honestly, this is even different than like the Keenan Allen bet.
126:03Like Keenan Allen, you just like know exactly what you're going to get from Keenan Allen.
126:07Like, I don't know what I'm going to get from Brandon.
126:11Iuke. Yeah. He could just not be good anymore.
126:14Yeah. Yeah. People, people, you know, having this discussion kind of centered around, well, if, if I, you plays football this year,
126:20then like he should be going at this pick or whatever.
126:24But I think, I think that line of thinking is wrong.
126:27You can't say like, if he plays football, it's, you got to talk about how many games because this isn't a guy
126:34who's like coming back from, from injury. And like, that's the only question that that's kind of surrounding him is like, will
126:41he, will he be back to a hundred percent coming off of this injury with Iuke?
126:46It's like, okay, even if he, even if he gets signed by the commanders, even if he's ready and playing week one,
126:52like how many games is that going to last?
126:55Like how long will they tolerate his Deontay Johnson type bullshit?
126:58I was going to say like, is Dan Quinn, even the type of coach that's just like, yeah, bet.
127:04Dan Quinn's motto is doing hard shit with good people.
127:07Yeah. Like I, like are, are we, is that really what's happening?
127:11Are we really, we really think Brandon Auk is just going to be able to do whatever he wants in that locker room.
127:18I mean, the most, if you wanted to be a Brandon Auk bear, the most bearish quote imaginable is Jaden Daniels saying
127:25Brandon Auk is my brother, but I have no sense of his football future.
127:29Mm-hmm. I think Rashad White said like a similar thing as well.
127:33That's crazy. A month or so ago. Yeah. Yeah.
127:36I think the, the most bearish quote about Auk is all the stuff that Auk is saying.
127:41Is all the stuff that Auk is saying. Yeah.
127:44Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's completely insane. Yeah. Um, all right, man.
127:47That was a, it was a good draft. Let's see.
127:50Let's recap the team here real quick. We did, but we did Lamar Jackson, Ashton, Gentie, Ken Walker, lad McConkie, Garrett Wilson,
127:57DJ Moore, 10 picks after ADP, Dalton Kincaid, Jalen Warren, Chris Godwin, Jonathan Brooks, Baker Mayfield, Mark Andrews, Trey Tucker, Travis Hunter,
128:03Sean Tucker, T Ferg, Elijah Surratt, Tyreek Hill, Otto, Miss Click, supposed to be DeMond Claiborne, Tyquan Thornton, and Charlie Kalar.
128:10Yeah. Yeah. That's a, that's a shipper. Yeah. I, I, and I'm just taking, I'm just taking Kalar in, in round 20
128:17as a total, uh, rope protect so that if, if sack ends up being right, that I'm not, I'm not totally, um, totally out of it.
128:25Listen, the Kolar, the Kolar stuff does actually make sense.
128:28It makes a lot of sense. Oh, it doesn't.
128:30It does. I'm so, I'm so against it. Arande Gadsden is really fucking good.
128:35They are, they are not. That doesn't mean that Kolar can't, can't be good and productive.
128:40Like he's, he's an insane blocker and a good receiver.
128:43He's a, he's a pretty good blocker. He was 11th amongst tight ends in PFF run blocking grade last year.
128:49He's a, he's a good blocker. It's not like having an extra tackle out there.
128:53His 408 career receiving yards. Gadsden had more than that in his first five career games.
128:58I think I, I, I get it. But I, I, Kolar was playing behind.
129:03Like look at it. Look at his college receiving production.
129:06If you get, he was really, so yes, he was a very good receiver at Iowa state that, that much.
129:12I absolutely do grant, but I mean, is getting mogged by Isaiah likely.
129:16Is that good? Cause I don't think Isaiah likely is that good.
129:20If you, I guess if you think, if you think Isaiah likely is in a, a well above average pass catching tight end, then it's more excusable.
129:28I kind of think likely is fine. I think it's not like he was behind Andrews and likely Andrew Andrews was the inline tight end.
129:36And then likely was like the move F tight end there.
129:39So like that's like Kolar would have had to overtake Mark Andrews, which was just not going to happen in Baltimore.
129:45Yes. Yeah. Well, it'll be, it'll be something that I am.
129:49If, if Gadsden becomes a plus blocker, which he was bad last year, but I do think that he has the frame to like fill out.
129:57And, and, you know, we got these reports that he put on 10 pounds this, this off season.
130:02I do think he could turn into a plus blocker.
130:05Like if he could end up being a, an inline tight end for them, like that would be fucking amazing.
130:11Cause you could, you could, you can run 11 personnel all day with him.
130:16And you know, when you need them to block, he could do that.
130:20And then we know how good of a pass catcher he is.
130:23And I do think that Mike McDaniel will have a tough time seeing what a Rondae Gadsden can do with the ball
130:30in his hands and not want to use that in his offense.
130:34But I think, I think Kolar brings a lot to the table that this isn't a guy that you really want off the field.
130:41Yeah. All right. Um, um, I'm, I'm eating, I'm eating more vegetables.
130:45I ate Kinkade vegetables. I haven't even given today.
130:48I'm not even dude. I'm not even giving Charlie Clark roasted cauliflower.
130:51You think Kinkade is vegetables? Kinkade, Kinkade is veggies, dude.
130:54Kinkade is veggies. No. Kinkade is veggies. He's dessert pizza.
130:57No. And dessert pizza, dude. Oh my God. You want to talk about something else that's delicious.
131:03Um, okay. Fair enough. It's he's vegetables, but Charlie Clark's like unseasoned green beans.
131:07It's like, it might be, it might be, it might be, it might be, it might be good for you, but I'm not enjoying eating this at all.
131:16It is not a pleasurable experience. No. Um, okay.
131:18Let's get out of here. Hey, tell the people about the things that you guys have going on, on the, uh, coach
131:25speaking next YouTube channel and over at the coach speak index website.
