Amari Cooper

PositiveValue38:43

Pat Kerrane suggests Amari Cooper is a strong candidate to pay off his current ADP simply by maintaining his level of play.

Insight page

Breece Hall

PositiveValue8:12

Pat Kerrane expresses confusion over Breece Hall's availability in the fourth round on DraftKings, labeling him a must-draft target who will crush his current ADP. Kerrane believes Hall can pay off this draft capital by catching a high volume of passes, even if the Jets struggle as a team.

Insight page

Cam Ward

NegativeProjection16:12

Pat Kerrane expresses skepticism toward Cam Ward, citing a concerning rookie season and stating he is not a 'Cam Ward guy.' However, Kerrane notes he is willing to draft Cornell Tate despite his lack of belief in Ward's individual talent, and suggests waiting on the QB position because stacks involving Ward or Jacoby Brissett remain available through rounds 14 and 15.

Insight page

Carnell Tate

PositiveValue15:46

Pat Kerrane advocates for drafting Cornell Tate in the seventh round, emphasizing that his status as a fourth overall pick makes him a high-upside target regardless of quarterback concerns. Kerrane believes Brian Daboll's coaching style is conducive to letting a playmaker like Tate take risks and establish himself as a rookie WR1.

Insight page

Chris Bell

PositiveValue10:03

Pat Kerrane and Ian Hartitz are aggressively targeting Chris Bell in drafts because he is healthy and remains affordable, with Kerrane noting he is "hammering" him.

Insight page

Chris Rodriguez

NegativeValue24:16

Pat Kerrane identifies Chris Rodriguez Jr. as an available running back option but prefers drafting Josh Jacobs over him at that draft position.

Insight page

D'Onta Foreman

NegativeValue29:52

Pat Kerrane notes that D'Onta Foreman was drafted as part of their roster construction.

Insight page

Darren Waller

PositiveValue43:48

Pat Kerrane indicates interest in drafting Darren Waller as a late-round tight end target.

Insight page

David Montgomery

PositiveUsage12:46

Pat Kerrane highlights David Montgomery as a player with a certain, reliable role, which makes him valuable in best ball formats where roster flexibility is limited.

Insight page

Denzel Boston

PositiveBreakout57:03

Pat Kerrane is high on rookie Denzel Boston, labeling him as underpriced upside in the 14th round. Kerrane expects Boston to be a starter who runs routes on 80% or more of snaps in Week 1, and prefers him over T.J. Hockenson for late-round roster depth.

Insight page

Dontayvion Wicks

PositiveRole61:46

Pat Kerrane targets Dontayvion Wicks for early-season production, noting he is expected to be the WR2 to open the year. Kerrane compares Wicks to AD Mitchell, stating they share the same player profile and both have positive camp momentum.

Insight page

Drake Maye

PositiveValue14:06

Pat Kerrane expresses interest in drafting Drake Maye as he begins to fall in draft rankings.

Insight page

Elijah Mitchell

PositiveValue38:48

Pat Kerrane views Elijah Mitchell as a valuable early-season producer who can help fantasy teams navigate the first six weeks before potentially losing his role.

Insight page

Greg Dulcich

PositiveValue39:25

Pat Kerrane targets Greg Dulcich as a late-round tight end option, noting that the offensive staff, including former assistant Sloick, has a history of utilizing him effectively. He is considered a viable target in the range for a TE2.

Insight page

J.K. Dobbins

NegativeValue24:16

Pat Kerrane identifies J.K. Dobbins as an available running back option but prefers drafting Josh Jacobs over him at that draft position.

Insight page

Jahan Dotson

PositiveValue43:13

Pat Kerrane identifies Jahan Dotson as a late-round value target, noting that he is expected to be a starter for the Falcons and can be acquired very late in drafts.

Insight page

Jake Ferguson

NegativeValue30:50

Pat Kerrane advises against drafting Jake Ferguson at his current price point.

Insight page

Javonte Williams

PositiveValue12:03

Pat Kerrane pushes back on the 'dead zone' label for Javonte Williams, citing his role in a potentially great offense with touchdown upside. While Kerrane acknowledges he is difficult to draft in redraft at a mid-third round ADP, he is overweight (14%) on Williams in best ball formats, valuing the certainty of his role.

Insight page

Jaxon Smith-Njigba

PositiveValue6:41

Pat Kerrane identifies Jaxon Smith-Njigba as a preferred alternative draft target if Puka Nacua is unavailable at the 1.05 draft position.

Insight page

Jaxson Dart

PositiveValue18:01

Pat Kerrane identifies Jaxson Dart as a desirable draft target, suggesting they should monitor his availability to potentially select him later in the draft.

Insight page

Jayden Reed

PositiveValue19:06

Pat Kerrane identifies Jayden Reed as a viable wide receiver target in his current draft range.

Insight page

Jerry Jeudy

NegativeBust59:14

Pat Kerrane expresses regret over his earlier summer exposure to Jerry Jeudy, noting that he is currently hoping for a trade to improve the player's fantasy outlook.

Insight page

Josh Jacobs

PositiveValue2:29

Pat Kerrane views Josh Jacobs as a strong value at the end of the starting running back range, preferring him over J.K. Dobbins, Chris Rodriguez, and Rachaad White. While Kerrane acknowledges potential 4-6 game suspension concerns, he believes the advancement of Jacobs' court date signals a likely plea deal and increases the probability of him playing this season. Kerrane now considers him an RB3 candidate, though he notes Jacobs is not expected to provide early-season production for certain roster builds.

Insight page

Keon Coleman

NegativeValue47:11

Keon Coleman is noted as being drafted during the session, serving as a marker for the current draft round.

Insight page

Malik Nabers

PositiveValue3:33

Pat Kerrane identifies Malik Nabers as a preferred second-round target, noting that if healthy, Nabers possesses first-round value due to his off-the-charts talent level.

Insight page

Matthew Stafford

NegativeValue20:16

Pat Kerrane notes that Matthew Stafford is falling in ADP, making him a potential target, though he was ultimately passed over in favor of Jackson Dart.

Insight page

Michael Penix Jr.

PositiveProjection40:38

Pat Kerrane views Michael Penix Jr. as a good draft pick, anticipating he will likely start by week three once he is fully healthy.

Insight page

Puka Nacua

PositiveValue1:02

Pat Kerrane identifies Puka Nacua as the clear pick at 1.05 due to his elite talent level; Kerrane also notes that the absence of news regarding an exempt list placement suggests he is safe to draft and currently active with the team.

Insight page

Quez Watkins

PositiveRole55:27

Pat Kerrane identifies Quez Watkins as the Eagles' WR2 to start the season; while acknowledging potential downside if the offense lacks passing efficiency or runs too much, Kerrane views him as a necessary source of early-season production.

Insight page

Rachaad White

NegativeValue19:20

Pat Kerrane views Rachaad White as a potential clear number two back, noting that momentum is shifting toward Jayden Bell. Kerrane also ranks White behind Josh Jacobs among available running back options.

Insight page

Rashid Shaheed

PositiveValue48:14

Pat Kerrane identifies Rashid Shaheed as an interesting wide receiver target in the middle-to-late rounds, specifically noting that he provides a useful roster construction 'out' for managers drafting Sam Darnold.

Insight page

Rhamondre Stevenson

NegativeUsage13:41

Pat Kerrane and Ian Hartitz discuss bypassing Rhamondre Stevenson in drafts. Kerrane specifically argues that Stevenson is significantly less explosive than Trayveon Williams, suggesting Williams is more deserving of field time.

Insight page

Sam Darnold

NegativeValue28:41

Pat Kerrane mentions Sam Darnold as a potential roster construction 'out' when drafting wide receivers like Rashid Shaheed.

Insight page

Shedeur Sanders

PositiveProjection40:36

Pat Kerrane expresses confidence in Shedeur Sanders as a potential quarterback target, specifically noting he feels better about Sanders taking over for Watson than other options.

Insight page

Terry McLaurin

PositiveValue8:53

Pat Kerrane expresses interest in drafting Terry McLaurin, highlighting his successful rookie season and overall value as a wide receiver target.

Insight page

Trayveon Williams

PositiveValue14:23

Pat Kerrane and Ian Hartitz target Trayveon Williams as a 'game breaker' value pick. Kerrane notes that his ADP has cooled significantly since early summer (when he went at the 4-5 turn), making his current price much more comfortable. Kerrane believes Williams is more explosive than Rhamondre Stevenson and projects him to earn more work as the season progresses.

Insight page

Trey McBride

PositiveValue5:16

Pat Kerrane endorses drafting Trey McBride in the third round, citing his elite talent level and his performance as the TE3 last season. Kerrane also includes McBride as part of a late-round stacking strategy for the quarterback position.

Insight page

Tua Tagovailoa

NegativeBust40:53

Pat Kerrane believes Tua Tagovailoa has already blown his opportunity to remain the starter, citing his struggles against defensive coverage schemes. Kerrane expresses significant concern regarding Tagovailoa's physical limitations post-hip surgery, noting a lack of arm strength and mobility; he argues that Tagovailoa struggles when defenses take away intermediate crossers, leading to poor decision-making and panic, ultimately questioning if there is a meaningful performance gap between him and Mike White.

0:04It is a great day to try to win $3 million over in the DraftKings streets with a man who knows all about winning a [ __ ]
0:11ton of money. Pat Corrales in the house, legendary upside. What's up, man?
0:16>> What's up, Ian? We haven't We haven't done anything all off-season, so I appreciate you having me on and and we can draft
0:23together to kind of close close out draft season a little bit. So, I was excited to get the the text and and jump
0:29on here.
0:30>> Yeah, bro. I always appreciate watching you and the ship other ship chasing guys from afar do their thing. I'm going to
0:35be going on Mike Shope's radio show with Theo Gremminger throughout the season as well. So, always love hearing that and just whole squad, man. Davis Mattek was
0:43on here before. Obviously, Jacob Sanderson, you know, Sam Shope. You guys You guys have some sharp dudes talking football. I want I want to know why all
0:49you sharp MFs >> [laughter] >> you know, just put all your focus on football, but we thank you for doing so.
0:55But, we're drafting out of the 105 here.
0:57Pretty chalky start overall, but we're on the clock, Pat.
1:02>> I'd be I'd be Puka here, I think. Yeah.
1:04I mean, he's I don't you know, at this point we would have gotten some news if he was going to go on the exempt list or whatever. So,
1:13uh I think it's you know, looking like he's uh just doing Puka things.
1:18>> Uh Wouldn't it be the most NFL thing ever though to be waiting for this Labor Day Friday to really do the news thing?
1:24>> It would. It It would, but um I don't know there was an announce or there was I saw something where McVay
1:30said, you know, everyone's going to Australia. So, I guess he can he can run around Melbourne uh if he doesn't play the game.
1:40>> [laughter] >> Puka I guess Puka's going to probably be on the uh earlier bedtime watch than the rest of the Rams staff. So, we'll see
1:47how that goes. We did get It was funny.
1:49I was doing an FFPC draft with a Dwayne, so I wasn't logged in uh scrolling Twitter every second of my life like
1:55normal, but apparently the Josh Jacobs court appearance got moved up two months. Yeah, that's a nice perk of being an NFL player. So, how's that
2:04change things for you, man? Are you just like me and just kind of wait and see what Drew Davenport says?
2:08>> It Yes, so Drew I he said I saw that he's going to have an update for us in like 20 30 minutes. So,
2:18looking forward to what Drew has on the subject, but um it does strike me as uh like I think on its own perhaps not not
2:30massive, but it seems like the NFL kind of signaled through Schefter earlier this week that they would like this to be wrapped up legally before he plays.
2:40Um and this to me, I don't know, I'm not you know, a lawyer or have any kind of legal expertise, but it seems like moving in
2:49that direction. You know, like they move up the court date, then they can wrap it up sooner. So, and potentially that
2:56would signal and this is where I'm really curious what Drew has to say like do they have some sort of plea that's
3:02close, you know, maybe maybe you know, that gets cuz I think if he gets a plea deal done, um then one, we probably don't ever get the
3:13video because >> Yeah.
3:16>> it's his security footage and it wouldn't go like in trial, it wouldn't be used as evidence and stuff cuz it
3:21wouldn't be a trial.
3:22>> I hear you.
3:23>> Um >> Hey Pat, we're on the clock though. Do you think Derrick Henry has legendary upside or should we go with a wide
3:28receiver?
3:29>> I I think I'd be neighbors here if uh what do we got here? I'd probably be neighbors. So, I've been trying to take
3:36more of in the second.
3:38>> Let's go neighbors.
3:40>> But I do I do you know, Henry Henry keeps getting there. He just won Sam $2 million 2.007 million dollars. Sorry,
3:46Sam. Um But but anyway, I think um with My guess is that it looks like Jacobs is probably going to get a plea
3:57deal done, and then they get suspended for like six games or eight games or something like that. But, I think I I I read this as he probably is is
4:05more likely to play this year. What do you think?
4:08>> That's how I feel, too. Again, getting it moved up and from again, just a handful of tweets I read about it and
4:13people trying to parse through it, it's like if they are going to come to a plea deal, and to your point, the video
4:19becomes cuz the video has been the smoking gun factor for me. I understand that we have bad people in the NFL that
4:25are suspended for less than everything, but we've seen how they react with the video and everything. So, >> And the Ray Rice thing. They hit him
4:32with two game suspension, video comes out, awful awful look for the NFL. I mean, I think that is like truly you know, something like
4:41they're just never going to let that happen again. And I think if they're like if there's a chance this video coming out during a trial and we've and
4:49you've played since then, like, nah.
4:51That's not happening for us.
4:52>> you.
4:53So, I I was pretty bearish on him even playing this year, but with this update, again, pending what Drew says, I'll
4:58probably get Jacobs back into kind of that RB3 range. Still not someone necessarily go super far out of your way for, but again, certainly going on the
5:06up and up. We are back on the clock.
5:08Devonte McBride, Allen, Kyren, some of the best players available.
5:13>> Where you at on McBride?
5:16>> Really, round three isn't bad. I'm good enough with him. Cole Kmet and Loveland already off the board.
5:20>> Yeah.
5:21>> You want Trey McBride?
5:22>> Trey McBride coming off an amazing tight end season as tight end three sounds pretty good to me.
5:28>> Sounds good to me, too, man. Again, it's kind of been that thing where I'm like every freaking annoying fantasy nerd where it's like, yeah, I like Cole
5:34Kmet and Loveland more at cost, but if the cost is all of a sudden flipping with him and Loveland, now, yeah, I'm
5:39cool with Trey McBride.
5:42>> Yeah, I think we might be overdoing it a little bit on the the pass volume dropping, which it will.
5:49Definitely will, but this dude's really, really good.
5:52We have like look look how talented Now, there are other questions. All three guys come with different, but relevant questions around, you know,
6:03they're you know, it's not just the talent that comes with these guys, but the talent level is off the charts for
6:08for all three of these players.
6:11>> And if you're going to take a discount on someone or deal with one of those questions, like I might as well do it
6:14for one of the best players in the league at their position. So, Puka, Neighbors, and Trey McBride start.
6:20Obviously, again, missing the boat on running back, but I know you've been in these redraft streets as well, Pat. I'm way more willing to get, you know, a
6:27little wonky with the zero RB stuff in Best Ball versus redraft.
6:31>> I've done both. I mean, I think, you know, I have lots of starts in Best Ball where it's like three straight running
6:36backs or two running backs, and then I'll hit another two running backs before the end of the fifth round, and so I've got four through five or four
6:43through six, and then I'm probably done with the you know, I just I I only finish with with four running backs,
6:49maybe like a fifth really late, something like that. I have a lot of builds like that, but I also think this
6:54is totally viable, and it really, you know, depends on how good of picks those wide receivers are. So, if you're kind of forcing it to
7:03get zero running back starts, I think you could end up in a pretty tough spot because running back is tricky this year
7:09the further you move into the draft, but you know, if Neighbors is healthy, we could feel like he is a first-round
7:15value. Obviously, I think Puka's just the pick there at 1.05. Like that's that's just the guy. If not him, I'd I
7:21would've gone JSN. So, that's a receiver, and then like I said, McBride, I mean, McBride McBride is probably just going to
7:28outscore Javonte Williams, you know, like and I can put it at the tight end instead of running back. So, I think we'll be all right. We'll probably
7:35take a running back here in the fourth would be my guess, but um we'll see who comes back.
7:41>> Swift, Breece, Scataboo, Monte, Bucky Irvin kind of sticking out as a top five. So, yeah, we'd like to see one of
7:47those guys get there. Travis Etienne off the board on the second pick. I finally got into the point where I just say
7:52Travis Etienne and I feel somewhat comfortable pronouncing it. I don't need to do the Twitter X back and forth thing every single time. We mention it,
8:00although I guess I just kind of did that by mentioning it again. Regardless, Pat, between those guys, Swift, Scataboo, Monte, Bucky, like is there a round four
8:06running back you've really been clicking? I think Breese and Etienne would have been nice, but obviously >> Dude, Breese in the fourth and this is a
8:13a consistent DraftKings thing. This isn't like uh you know, some random draft that we're in here that he's 404.
8:19You can be in the early fourth, you can pass on Breese, grab Devonte Smith like this drafter did, and then still get
8:25him. It's really wild. Uh I don't get it at all.
8:29Uh and I think it's a like a a key reason to be drafting right now on DraftKings is is to try to get
8:36some of this fourth round Breese Hall.
8:38Uh I love him there. Uh I think I think he's going to crush that ADP.
8:44>> Swift, Monte, Bucky, got Price, got Tueton. Burden was the last guy to go, so we're on the clock.
8:50>> And what's at wide receiver just to just to see?
8:53>> We have Emeka, T-Mac, Adams, and >> like T-Mac. I'd also be good with with Swift here.
9:00Um Yeah, one of those two guys. Okay.
9:05>> Got a running back. I see the Again, I think T-Mac had a really good rookie year. It's just God.
9:10>> I did a stat today. I think Bryce Young is throwing for 250 yards in seven of 44 starts.
9:15Uh like what most quarterbacks, right?
9:19>> Like is that is that what you meant?
9:21>> Say what? Sorry?
9:22>> 250 plus yards, is that what you meant?
9:23>> Yeah.
9:24>> Yeah, okay.
9:25>> said.
9:26>> No, [laughter] I you said 250 yards, so I was like is that is it 250 and more? But that's not
9:31good. Okay.
9:32>> Not good. Not good. Again, it's a day where like we're hoping for quarterbacks at 4,000 yards, but in Carolina it's
9:37like, can we just get to 3,000, Bryce, after 17 games?
9:41>> yeah. Yeah.
9:43>> We'll see what goes down. Hey, appreciate you guys hanging out. I was on the Fantasy Footballers MVP episode.
9:49Can you guess who I picked, Pat, as my MVP 2026?
9:54>> Um Duke Johnson's not in the league.
9:59>> He was a still finalist, regardless.
10:01>> [laughter] >> Who was it?
10:03Chris Bell. I decided to throw him >> nice, man.
10:07>> Not going too early. I just He's healthy now. Let's go. I'm back in.
10:11>> Dude, I've been taking a ton of Chris Bell. I think I I missed the boat on the super completely free Chris Bell, but
10:18you know what? He's still not that expensive. I I'm hammering Chris Bell right now.
10:23He's I I was wrong. He looks way healthier than I thought he was. You know what I mean?
10:28Like >> We had no good news about the guy, but now we do. So, let's do it.
10:34>> Wide receiver, Devonte, Watson, Evans, the artist formerly known as Maserati Marv. Devonte off the board. Demont, Price, Tooten, Judkins at RB.
10:44>> I'm Demont or Tooten here. I'm not sure where you stand on the on the Tooten wars, but uh I'm good with either guy.
10:53>> I feel like if we're trying to win 3 mil, I think Tooten's best case season is better than Demont's. Does that seem
10:59fair?
10:59>> Let's go. Let's go.
11:00>> Let's go.
11:03And I've gone back and forth on Demont, too. I think like, you know, >> He's a good pick there. Mid-fifth, he's
11:08a good pick.
11:09>> Sure.
11:09>> Yeah.
11:10>> But, you know, doing this job 365, which is a blessing, but, you know, I got to write like the bull call article in
11:14March, and I remember writing like I had Demont finishing low-end RB1, sick defense, falls into the end zone 12 times. I get it, but for me, and this is
11:23why I push back a little bit on like the Javonte Williams being a dead zone back.
11:26When I When I think of a dead zone back, I think it's an average talent who are just propping up with
11:32but also in probably a bad offense. Like we always use the Mike Davis example in that Panthers offense sucked. That's kind of what I think there. That's why I
11:40don't think Javonte is so much in there.
11:42De'Von's interesting because I could easily see the Texans offense being bad, but that defense is so good that they might not really be in bad game script
11:50even if Stroud and the boys can't keep up, you know?
11:53>> Yeah. Yeah, I mean I think I think both of them are dead zone backs, but I think if they both might work. You know, like
12:01um cuz your point about Javonte is a good one that he isn't a he's not just in like a pretty good offense. He's in a
12:07potentially great offense. He can score a ton of touchdowns. And I also think that the dead zone back thing it I worry about it more in redraft than I
12:18do in best ball because if you have a guy like Javonte Williams and he helps advance the team you know, where you don't get to play
12:28waivers, you don't get to pick up there might be some back on might be there's probably a running back who doesn't get
12:34drafted in this draft that is helpful that we end up picking up, right? And we don't know who that player is, which is
12:41the point. You got to get all the points on your team. They stay on your team for the whole season. You don't get to
12:46adjust it. So a back like Javonte Williams, David Montgomery, like the certainty that of like their roles, especially Javonte. I mean, who's
12:56challenging him? It's it's so Javonte I like I still find him tough to click in redraft.
13:03But I acknowledge that he's probably like a solid certainly in the fourth round, but you know, if he's going to go
13:07like mid third in redraft, I think I'm out, but I'm pretty overweight. I'm at like 14%ish on Javonte Williams in best
13:16ball.
13:17Just cuz he's been going more at the three four turn most of the summer and he's probably going to score a bunch of
13:22touchdowns that hit my lineup whenever he he does it. That's that's another thing with the profiles. Like if you are really touchdown dependent and I have to
13:28predict the week that you score the touchdown, I like that less than when the touchdowns hit, they they hit my lineup.
13:36>> To your point though, round four at GM, especially Breece Hall, really tough to be arguing with that. If you did want to
13:41bypass Rhamondre like we did here, we are about to be on the clock again. Got a two or 0221 start so far, so got some
13:48flexibility. Might be time to go back to wide receiver though. Rhamondre, let's see. Rhamondre, Trayveon, the Steelers back sitting there. Wide receiver
13:57Cornell, BTJ, Sutton, Stribdog all the way up here. What do you think of that?
14:02>> What do What do we got at quarterback as well?
14:06>> Drake Maye falling a little bit.
14:08>> I'd be cool with Maye. I'd be cool with Tate. Um and Henderson would be would be good, too.
14:15>> Okay.
14:17>> Those are Those are guys that jump out to me.
14:20I don't know. Is there anyone you're looking at?
14:23>> Sure. I don't get a ton of Trayveon. I feel like he's starting to fall a little bit. Rhamondre just went. Let's get
14:27Trayveon. Little game breaker.
14:29>> Yeah.
14:31I mean, Trayveon's been you know, early in the summer, in in in May and stuff, like he was he was going
14:38at the 4-5 turn.
14:39>> Right.
14:40>> And I was like what what what have we done to the game I love? Like that What This is kind of
14:46what I've been asking for.
14:48>> [laughter] >> But I don't like it and we should stop doing it. And this feels so much more comfortable to me. Like like yeah, he's
14:55not going to have this hot start to the season. He's going to have to earn more work over the course of the year. He's
15:00going to have to prove that he's He's just so much more explosive than Rhamondre Stevenson that it's worth having him on the field. But you know
15:05what? He is a lot more explosive than Rhamondre Stevenson. I think he probably does get more work as the season goes
15:12on.
15:13Um and he was an awesome college back.
15:15It's not like he's just some kind of like speed lightning compliment. He can be a starter.
15:19>> And can we change the explosive run play rate to more than 10 yards? cuz I know someone out there is like, well Ramondre
15:24actually had a better explosive run rate. Stop it with the 10 yards. I mean I need 20 plus to call them explosive.
15:30>> The NFL teams don't think 10's explosive. They they want like 20 yarders, like 15 yarders at least. So >> 15 minimum.
15:39>> Minimum. Yeah.
15:41>> Okay, if Drake comes up >> one more. Yeah, I think we definitely take May here. Ah, he goes, of course.
15:46>> Okay.
15:46>> Is Tate still here?
15:49>> Yeah.
15:50>> I think we take Tate, man. Fourth overall pick in the seventh round?
15:54>> I think I did one of these with Leon Murphy the other day and just same thing. It's like, all right, you can
15:58talk through your complaints about Cornell Tate and the offense and Brian Daboll. At the end of the day, it's the fourth It's like that meme of the, you
16:05know, the Jedi, the idiot, and the guy overthinking it. It's like, look, it's the fourth overall pick in round seven.
16:10Come on, guys.
16:12>> I I do not believe in Cam Ward. Like, I'm not a Cam Ward guy. I was not a Cam Ward
16:17guy coming in. I think his rookie season was like extremely concerning. I know there's there's people, you know, based on the tape that are that are more
16:25optimistic. And for the purposes of my Cornell Tate bags, I hope they're right, but I don't It's not To me, this isn't a
16:32bet on Ward. It's just a bet on a guy who is like a legit playmaker establishing himself as the number one
16:38target in his rookie season of an NFL offense. And that's that's worth a seventh-round pick almost regardless of who the quarterback is. But then you
16:46also have Daboll there. I think Daboll of NFL coaches, like who's going to be like Bruce Arians-ish, you know, willing to
16:55let someone kind of chuck it through mistakes? I think he's he's higher on the list than most guys.
17:02Um where I mean, and that's that's who If we want production out of Ward, we're going to have to have some really
17:08boneheaded plays in there.
17:11And then that helps unlock, like if he gets to drop back right after he took a ridiculous sack.
17:18That's amazing because he does have big plays in him. So, if he would Yeah, I don't think the Dave the Dave Ball part
17:24doesn't concern me. I think that's actually a little bit of a a bonus compared to some of these coaches who are just like
17:32you know, like an Arthur Smith type, right? Like that that would be where I'd be like, oh, we're we're cooked with
17:38with Ward because they just want to avoid mistakes and run the ball constantly. I think Dave Ball will be at least willing to take some
17:44chances.
17:46>> I'm actually now a lifelong Arthur Smith fan cuz he is sadly leading my Ohio State Buckeyes, but you know what?
17:51That's in college football and uh we'll see what goes. Matt Patricia made it work last year on defense, so I guess
17:57that's just what we're rolling with this year, but we are into round eight now.
18:01Would be pretty cool if Dart comes back around to us, right?
18:05>> That'd be cool, yeah. That would be very cool.
18:09>> He's down there, though. Maybe we could potentially push it a little bit. I don't know.
18:14Pits, Faneca, Cave. We already got McBride anyway.
18:18You drinking the Stribling Kool-Aid?
18:20>> I have a bunch of Stribling when he was really cheap and not much since. I I don't I Yeah, I'm not sure he's good,
18:28but I wasn't sure he was good complimentary when he was a 16th round pick.
18:34>> Yeah.
18:34>> Now it's like I don't want to I don't want to pay for it.
18:37>> I don't think Kendrick Bourne is that special. Didn't stop him from going for 142 and a >> Yeah. Dante Pettis put up put up
18:44production in this offense >> Richie James that one day. That's that's really what did it. That's what did it for me, man. It was just like
18:50remembering those games, but there goes Stribling anyway.
18:54>> If we want a running back deal, yeah.
18:56>> Yeah.
18:58I think we can probably wait on Dart.
19:00>> Probably. Yeah. I'm good with Bill.
19:03>> No wide receivers really?
19:06Fancy >> I like Reed fine if you wanted to go wide receiver. I I do like Lemon.
19:11Um but he might come back to you.
19:13>> Bell though, we're going to we'll be pretty good at RB. Cool Bell?
19:17>> Yeah.
19:18>> All right.
19:20I was a little more of a Rashad White earlier in the off-season, but it just seems like everything is going towards
19:26Bell and I don't know, man. I think Rashad White could just be a pretty freaking clear number two. I think Bell's going to be very involved regard-
19:33It could be 50/50 with them, which would be nice for White, or it could just be the Bell show. I don't see a scenario where Bell
19:40was just an afterthought, you know?
19:42>> Yeah, I think he could become an afterthought, but it represents him failing.
19:47Like I could see him getting phased out if like Ke'Shawn Allen's actually like a more consistent runner.
19:55But I'm talking about week 11 or something, you know? So, I think you're getting Yeah, he It looks like they want Bell to be their starter.
20:04Um and we'll we'll kind of see how that goes. So, I've been I've been taking him in the eighth and ninth round.
20:10>> Nice.
20:11>> Uh, more than than I would I I was a little like I don't know, like what do they want? It And it it seems pretty
20:17clear they do want him to be the starter and he's done enough where he's not going to like tip their plays when he's out there. Like he can
20:24be involved on a drop back now, even if it's not to do anything. Like So, I I I definitely feel better about him
20:34than I did earlier.
20:36>> We do have Stafford still on the board as well. Obviously, we started off with Puka and Neighbors. So, we're back on
20:41the clock. I think Dart just has to hire ADP, but Stafford is falling a little bit. Who are you good with there?
20:48>> If I would be into Lemon here if you're if you're not out on him.
20:52Um, I know Lemon's kind of divisive, but I like him a lot.
20:57>> It's fun. So, you think we're good pushing QB another another round?
21:00>> Well, you mentioned the Stafford out and I I think we could use that to to take Lemon.
21:05Um, well, you know, I don't know if if you want go quarterback and I wouldn't fight it.
21:10>> I think we just talked out OF JOSH JACOBS.
21:13>> [laughter] >> WELL, LET'S HOPE THAT PLEA deal comes in.
21:19>> [laughter] >> Oh, that's why you said your queue ladies and mostly gentlemen.
21:25>> Le'Veon Bell, aren't you watching the Le'Veon videos?
21:28>> Oh my god.
21:29>> Well, we're good at running back now.
21:31>> Honestly, that's a good thing.
21:32>> Coming out of the ninth, it could be worse. It could be worse, man.
21:36>> Okay.
21:37That was dumb.
21:39Okay, we're all clear on that. But, that's just probably about the range he should be going now, right?
21:45>> about the range, yeah. Honestly, I think like all in all like it might not be that bad.
21:51>> We're good at running back.
21:53>> [laughter] >> We're definitely good at running back.
21:55Yeah.
21:57That's so good.
21:57>> Oh, wow. Okay. That's on me.
22:00>> And then Stafford goes You're you're probably right as far as the 80P goes that neither of those those quarterbacks are coming back, so.
22:09>> I actually think man, it's something weird thing I've had on my desktop, too.
22:12I've noticed this over the years. So, like if your clock is a little bit off on the desktop, the timer ends at like 3
22:17seconds instead of zero.
22:18>> way to reset that.
22:20>> Okay. You know what I'm talking about though. I'm not making things up.
22:23>> You know, I know what you mean. It can get out of sync, but I there's a way to like re- recalibrate it somehow.
22:29>> Oh, oh dear, he's right.
22:31>> [laughter] >> Well, said Tyler. So, all right guys, through nine rounds, we certainly have our running backs covered with Swift,
22:39Akers, Henderson, Bell, and then just after a long back and forth, we decided to go ahead and go with Jacobs. All
22:46right, that happened.
22:47>> Did we decide [laughter] the the >> We I collectively we collectively decided to go [laughter] with Josh Jacobs at that point. I messed up and
22:57timed out. We got Puka Nacua, Trayveon Pryor sitting there, and Cornell Tate as well. So, going to be pounding some wide
23:03receivers. Also need to get our QBs.
23:06Would be very cool if Dart makes it back, but probably a little bit unlikely, let's be honest. So, yeah, you know, one of the drafts of all time,
23:14Pat.
23:15>> I In all honesty, dude, like it's not that bad of a [laughter] pick.
23:20Like, he kind of We have We have Swift.
23:24We have Bill, who as we established is probably going to get Like, I feel most confident about Bill early in the
23:29season.
23:30>> Mhm. [clears throat] >> And then you have Henderson, Tooten, and Jacobs is kind of like, you know, by mid-season the running back room's maybe
23:36getting better. Um and we have a rookie in in Tate. Like, this As long as we get enough out of Swift and Bill early, and hopefully
23:44Tooten. I mean, Tooten is a bit of a wild card.
23:47But, if he hits, he could hit, you know, on the on the quicker side at least as an RB2 type.
23:52So, with Henderson and Jacobs, the running back room has like a lot of late-season upside.
23:57>> But, that really It's funny the way it worked out cuz I'm probably, again, if Drew's takeaway is similar to what we
24:04were talking about, where it does seem like there's more of just a four-to-six game early season suspension on the table.
24:09I mean, Jacobs, we basically got him at the end of the starting running back range. That's That sounds about right. The other guys
24:17on the board right now are Dobbins, Mike Washington, Chris Rodriguez, Rachaad White. Like, I feel I'm taking Jacobs over them at that
24:25point.
24:26>> I think so. I think right in that Like, I just updated the rankings and and had him more like where we are now,
24:34um in you know, kind of in the early to mid-10th round, but I mean, if you're like taking a dude in in the ninth who I
24:42have ranked in the 10th, I don't think that's a big deal. So, um Yeah, I think we'll be all right. We
24:49What What do we have left at quarterback? Cuz that's that's what's >> Dart's still sitting there. That would be fantastic.
24:54>> Oh, wow, yeah. I I didn't realize that.
24:57Um >> Hopefully, these two guys let us have nice things.
25:01Come on Holmes.
25:02It's Love, Shock, Baker, and Willis afterwards.
25:05>> Oh, yeah.
25:07>> Let's go. We're back.
25:09We're back, boys. All right, I'm doing this as fast as possible. Jackson Dart, come on down.
25:14>> Tell you what, Jordan Love comes back.
25:16That actually works out.
25:18>> We were talking about I mean, I was going to click Stafford or Dart right there, so all worked out. There is a
25:23fantasy god.
25:25>> Yeah.
25:26Beautiful. Played the board perfectly, Tiger. I'm going to cut this.
25:29>> [laughter] >> Never in doubt.
25:32>> Never in doubt. Okay, yeah, getting Love. Do you feel like yeah, cuz quarterback's about to fall off in a hurry, so Love, Shock, Baker, Malik.
25:41Dude, I'm with you on Love. I moved him up in the last week just given the Jacobs thing. I think they're going to
25:46be throwing the ball quite a bit more.
25:48>> Yeah. I think they've kind of signaled that maybe I mean, what I'd say is LaFleur has signaled that like he
25:54understands he needs to like make some adjustments, and the two big things that he's done over the years that don't make a
26:01ton of sense is like a really bizarre level of rotating his starters.
26:06>> Yep.
26:07>> Um, which he has more specifically said I'm going to stop doing. And then uh, yeah, playing really slow and running too much. And like losing just
26:16like blowing games they should win because he's been overly conservative.
26:21So, I'm less confident he fixes that one compared to the rotation thing, but I think there's at least some upside for
26:27him to to just play a little more aggressively and and sharper, to be honest.
26:33>> So, we're cool Jordan Love?
26:35>> I think Jordan Love's great here, like it gets shaky at quarterback uh, on DraftKings sometimes, so >> Absolutely love it. Absolutely love our
26:45friends at DraftKings, too, guys. So, we'll be right back. Short break from our quick friends over at DraftKings.

28:45>> Restroom seemed to know we had an ad going and really didn't take their time on that clock. Now we got a couple of
28:51spots though we're still ready to go. I think we can wait on quarterback here because we have stacks with Cam Ward or
28:57even Jacoby Brissett and Trey McBride and we're going to see them until round 14, 15. So looking at the best available
29:04wide receivers, Shakur, Shaheed could be interesting too because that gives us a Darnold out.
29:10>> Yeah, Shaheed's interesting. I like Shakir a lot. I'd take a lot of him.
29:13What what do we have at He goes? What about tight end?
29:18Andrews, Okonkwo. Yeah, I mean, we'd have McBride so it's not like a huge uh Um Shaheed goes.
29:27>> Come on, guys.
29:28>> What pick is this?
29:30>> Uh round 12, I think.
29:32>> Yeah, I I would be open to Tyson um as a as kind of late season upside.
29:39>> First or last?
29:41>> Then we have Yeah, first or last, exactly.
29:44>> anymore.
29:45>> Yeah.
29:46>> Let's do it.
29:46>> we'll end up with some guys who can who can can you know kind of contribute earlier, too.
29:52>> Fill some weeks.
29:53>> Yeah.
29:54>> God, Shakur and Shaheed back-to-back.
29:56You know what? We >> That does hurt.
29:58>> We got D'Onta Foreman to fall to us, so understood.
30:02>> Yeah.
30:05It's okay.
30:05>> If Tyson is like 140, I mean if he comes back and is healthy and I think I do think there's some upside to
30:13him getting sat down. We uh we just debuted uh a doctor who's who's writing for Legendary Upside now um who's been helping us behind the
30:20scenes. Uh he he just had an article up early this week where he dove into he just kind of like laid out like the way
30:27we've been thinking through some of these situations and he's relatively bullish on on Tyson given the information that we have. It's not
30:35not like an absolute gem because it does come with some uncertainty of re-injury and stuff, but it it looks like, you
30:42know, they're being responsible with this and are are like, let's get you healthy and then you can have an awesome second half of
30:50the season. So, I I think his upside is still intact even though it it it obviously is a risky pick.
30:57>> I know Nick Underhill could not stop saying good things about him and just how dominant he was looking in practice
31:02early on. So, get healthy soon, Mr.
31:05Tyson. Tight ends on the board, Chiggy, Henry, T-Ferg. You You You drinking the slappy cool-aid with T-Ferg?
31:13>> Not Not at this price, to be honest.
31:15>> Yeah.
31:16Yeah, we probably need more wide receiver help.
31:18>> Okay. Yeah.
31:20I'd be good with Wix if you want to try to get some like early season to to pair with the Tyson stuff that we just did.
31:27Um Lane, I think is pretty exciting. I mean, he's had an awesome camp.
31:31Uh >> Let's go Wix. I think that kind of works with this build.
31:34>> Yeah, I think he could be useful.
31:39>> I do worry that the Eagles offense could just be, I don't know, kind of bad. Like we we have all these new play callers
31:45who have never called plays and we're all just like, oh no, they're going to they're going to use play action and
31:49they're going to take snaps from under center and we're just talking about it like that's going to solve everything and I'm just worried that maybe not
31:56having a consensus top five wide receiver last five years makes life a little bit tougher for everyone. I don't know, Pat.
32:02>> Yeah, I mean, I think losing Brown definitely hurts. I do think that um Patullo is was >> a cover >> band. He's a cover band of Kellen Moore
32:12and it's just like not a particularly good one.
32:15>> Um good line.
32:17>> [laughter] >> I'm not sure I've used it before. And uh I think I did beat it. Uh or I used it
32:24so long ago that I forgot and then used it again and uh >> Let's go. We're back.
32:28>> a new thought. It's one of those, too.
32:31Um but >> [laughter] >> then I think it might be the second one.
32:34But uh I do I have I have some hope for Mannion. You know, he was he was seen as like this up-and-coming coach that, you
32:44know, was This is kind of the opposite of how Patullo happened where it's like >> [clears throat] >> Well, you need an OC. Like, I guess
32:52you'll do. Versus we need Let's go get someone who is probably going to be a head coach in a couple years. And uh
33:00you know, Mannion I think is is a hopefully like a really sharp hire. I think he's a high-upside hire at the
33:05very least. Um and he's seemed to be bringing some new ideas. You know, it seems like Hurts probably is going to
33:11run a little bit more.
33:13Um playing a little bit more under center.
33:16So, I am optimistic for the Eagles offense. Uh you do obviously have some downside if they're just going to run a
33:22bunch and and not pass very much. Um and if they aren't efficient in the passing game again, then yeah, it could be
33:27disappointing. But Queix is going to be the wide receiver two to open the year. Um and even though I believe in Lemon, I
33:34think I think he can kind of at the very least like compared with Tyson and Jacobs you kind of like we know we need some
33:42early season production from someone cuz it's not those two guys.
33:46>> I do buy into the idea that these career backup quarterbacks who have had to make their hay basically, you know, being
33:51smart and mastering the mental side of the game like becoming really good offensive minds does make sense to me.
33:57It's just the first year of it. So >> That's true.
34:01>> And Ward went at the end of the last round. Jacoby's the second guy up behind Bryce Young if we do want to get a third
34:08quarterback.
34:11>> Uh >> [snorts] >> Jacoby Brissett, yeah.
34:15I think we could probably push third quarterback. I'm more worried about >> Yeah, not receiver.
34:21>> receiver. There's receivers fairly weak.
34:23Oh, no, Boston's here. But I like I like Denzel Boston. And what about tight end?
34:27We still don't have a tight end two.
34:30>> Hock, Barner, Dulcich, Sadeeq.
34:32>> We probably should be in this range for one of these tight end twos. Even with McBride, I think it would make sense
34:38that to tag someone like that on.
34:40>> Darnell Love, like if we do end with that, it's not the end of the world.
34:44>> the end of the world. Yeah.
34:46>> If we had missed out on Love, it probably would have been the end of the world, but okay, is there a tight end
34:49from this group? Just say, "Hey, maybe the 16th overall pick is good at football."
34:53>> I'd probably Boston over over Hockenson and then try to get like Barner.
34:58>> Cool.
34:58>> Um Yeah.
35:00>> Say less.
35:03Boston's good, man. I mean, Ben's Do you see Ben Solak when he went to the Browns camp? He just could not stop gushing
35:11over how good Boston was. Like he threw the caveat that K.C. looked good, too, but man, Boston's Boston might be special,
35:17who knows?
35:18>> Yeah, that's the thing. I mean, he's a second-round pick. He had a really strong camp and he could be awesome. Like I don't know
35:26if he's awesome, but like neither does anyone else drafting against us.
35:31You know, like he's it's upside and and it's it's underpriced upside, I think, in the 14th. I mean, he's he's going to
35:38be a starter. Like he's going to play a ton of he's going to run a ton of routes. Like he probably has like 80%
35:43plus routes week one.
35:45Which for a second-round pick, like that's pretty cool because if he is really good, we'll we'll get to know >> Yeah.
35:52>> very soon, you know.
35:54>> I can see Jeudy being traded, or at least that's what I'm just telling myself each and every day as I sadly
35:59look at my Jeudy exposure from earlier in the summer, but I will say, man, too, Cleveland, Miami, and Vegas, we can talk
36:06so much about them wanting to run the ball. That's easy to say in August. It's not as easy to say when you're a
36:11horrible football team and you're down three touchdowns at halftime every game, so >> Yeah.
36:16>> something to keep in mind there with the Browns pass game volume. Also, Jacoby went one pick before, so yeah, couldn't
36:21take him anyway.
36:22>> Sounds good.
36:22>> Yep.
36:24>> All right, we should probably get that tight end now.
36:26>> Did Ward go?
36:29>> Yeah, Ward went.
36:30>> Ward went, okay. Yeah, yeah.
36:32>> All right, we're on the clock.
36:34I'm queuing up Barner just in case.
36:35Dulcich, Saddiq.
36:37>> Yeah, I'm good with Barner or AD Mitchell if we want to try to push Barner cuz Mitchell gives you that same
36:44early season. But if I I'm good with either guy.
36:47>> like we could push. Let's go AD Mitchell.
36:49>> Okay.
36:51>> AD Mitchell on the same team.
36:55>> Yeah, we got Mitchell. Cool.
36:58Hilarious how the Colts could just so obviously use someone. What the hell just happened?
37:03Okay.
37:04>> [snorts] >> We're back. That was weird.
37:06>> Yeah, we're back. It is funny, uh, first of all, like Mitchell and Wix are just like the same person. Which
37:12>> They're literally the same person. Yeah.
37:14>> [laughter] >> But hey, man, Mitchell is doing some good things down the stretch. Again, same thing with Wix, like just nice
37:20little drumbeat coming out of camp. We do have the first-rounder coming up, but we need a guy to try to help go ahead
37:25and get us through the first handful of weeks. Seems like they could be those guys. I get the Look, with the Jets and
37:31the Cardinals, like if you go through the roster, we've seen it from Jacoby, we've seen it from Geno before.
37:36Like I understand there is a pathway to them being good, but I just feel like we can do that for all 32 teams. And that's
37:43where I'm like, all right, well, if we had to rationally rank these teams, I know Vegas does and they have the Jets
37:48and Cardinals 31st and 32nd, so.
37:50>> Yeah, yeah.
37:52No, I'm completely with you, like I don't think I mean the Jets I I wrote a Breece Hall and, um, uh,
38:01as we talked about, you're you're much better about getting the writing to actually published and on the internet than I am. So I I haven't published this
38:07yet, but I I wrote up Hall and, um, it's like one of those things where even though I do have worries about the Jets,
38:16I was like, you know, they could kind of they could be well below 500, miss the playoffs easily, and I had them
38:24missing it by one game just for fun in this write-up. But, um you know, they don't make the playoffs or anything, Glenn gets fired.
38:31Um they're supposed to tank for a quarterback, but they kind of mess it up by by winning, you know, a game they
38:36shouldn't. And Hall just catches a bunch of balls. Like, I think he can pay off fourth-round ADP that way. I think Omar
38:43Cooper can like really pay off his ADP just by being good. And I think Mitchell can pay off ADP particularly on teams
38:50like this by producing before the rail before things come off the rails. Like, the Jets could be an an absolutely atrocious team that you don't want a
38:57single player on. And we could win $3 million because Adam Mitchell got us through those help those first six weeks along with the Wix and and Swift and,
39:07you know, some of the some of the other guys that are going to be producing right out of the gate because you have a
39:11Jordan Tyson coming on, you know, down the stretch where like, you don't need Mitchell to be a good player.
39:17>> coming back from suspension. That's what he just ultimately played out. All right, we are on the clock.
39:24Let's see.
39:25>> I could I'd be down to go Valay if you want to just fully But, Dulcich would probably be the move. Dulcich is
39:30probably the move. Let's get that tight end, too.
39:33>> it up last time.
39:34>> Yeah, we [snorts] we we're pushing that.
39:36>> weeks okay?
39:37>> Yeah.
39:39>> Always scary to check the by weeks after the fact, but we are in fact good.
39:43I will say with Dulcich, what I feel good about is Sloick was like their senior offensive assistant on the staff last year when they actually were using
39:51Dulcich more, and Wilk as Merrick from Ohio State very much block first. I think he's a banged up as well. Miami's
39:57another team where I just Kasmarek could be out there, but you look at their wide receivers. Miami, the Raiders, and the
40:03Bears and it's just like they're probably going to live in multi-tight end personnel anyway.
40:08>> Yeah, and Dulcich is a big wide receiver ultimately, which sometimes is a bad thing.
40:13Um but, it's less of a bad thing when the team like doesn't have a single veteran wide receiver.
40:19Which like straight up like I guess Malik Washington, but they're just they're starting I think two rookies as soon as Bell's, you know,
40:27I think Bell's a starter today, but if he's if he's not, he will be soon.
40:31Um >> Dotson, if we wanted a third quarterback, Shador could be there for Boston later.
40:38We could do something with Penix and maybe a Dotson or a Branch if we wanted to go >> I was going to throw out Penix, too. I
40:44think Penix is a good pick for this team.
40:46>> He's kind of got that James Jean, you know, if they actually I I I like to well, oh gosh.
40:53Tua might have already just blown his chance, honestly. Like I don't I would have been worried about cuz I feel better about Shador taking over for
41:00Watson and then being the guy the rest of the season.
41:04The fact Penix is probably going to start week one, I almost would feel better if they started Tua week one, let
41:10him blow up, and then Penix >> Penix already blew it. I think he's done.
41:14>> Tua already blew it. Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at.
41:16>> Sorry, I said Penix, I meant Tua.
41:18>> So you give up Penix?
41:19>> Yeah, I'm good with Penix.
41:20>> Cool.
41:22>> The other thing, too, that that can work is like with you when you have a team that's like going to be a little bit weaker at
41:30the flex for the beginning part of the year where, you know, with the Jacobs Tyson thing and then potentially with Henderson as well,
41:37you know, we're building a team that hopefully gets stronger over the course of the year.
41:42>> Yeah.
41:43>> The third quarterback just like yes, we don't have a stack for Penix, but that might not be the point of him on this
41:50team. The point he might be someone who helps us get through, especially if he's starting by like week three, which I kind of think he will be. I
41:56think I think they want him to start as soon as he's healthy enough to start is is my reasoning.
42:00>> That's probably the only reason why they're waiting, right?
42:03>> I think so. I think it's literally just about his health. They they saw Tua all summer and I they seem
42:09petrified of of anyone else seeing that in a in a professional setting.
42:15>> Yeah, do that. Some of those highlights were were just Dude, that was the thing with Tua where I We were We were all there for 2022 and
42:232024. I don't know where that guy went though. I mean, at some point Tua just I think when defenses just started sitting
42:29in those windows >> Mhm.
42:30>> for those, you know, crossers. And like once he didn't have that intermediate 15-yard shot, like he just started to panic, man. And you can't be Tua
42:40physically just so limited post hip surgery and doesn't have the big arm, can't get outside the pocket. You combine bad decision-making with that
42:47and like what what are we doing?
42:50>> Yeah, like I'm not sure the difference between like Tua and like Mike White at this point.
42:56>> [laughter] >> I will say the one thing with the Cardinals, it's like, well, Michael Floor got a lot out of Mike White back
43:03in the day, so I don't >> Yeah, yeah.
43:05>> Damn, dude. I >> Mike White had his moments, you know? He really did.
43:08>> Right.
43:10I was scrolling. Dice missing.
43:13Jahan Dotson is like you have to scroll so far down to even find the guy.
43:19I don't know. He's going to be starting for the Falcons. We don't have to take him here. Like we can get him in round
43:2320 if we want, but that's >> What are we looking at a tight end? Cuz that's that's where I think we could try to build in a little bit
43:29more boring production.
43:32>> Dude, I mean, Gadsden I know we're more confident that Kolar and Njoku are going to be ahead of the guy, but he's got that same T Ferg gene
43:41where he's a top 10 dude if you just let him >> Kolar. I'm team Kolar on the Chargers.
43:46>> Okay.
43:48Anything on Waller?
43:50>> Waller I'd be down for, yeah. Ingram is another guy we can We can probably wait on.
43:55Uh >> Zacharias there if we want him.
43:57>> Zacharias, let's do Zacharias. He He's you know, he's a a little stack option.
44:02He should He should have some some playing time reasonably quickly.
44:06Uh Get the ball in his hand, and him do stuff.
44:10>> We're probably >> I think we're good at running back, yeah.
44:13>> I tend to agree. All right, let's go Zach Kuntz.
44:16Dude, that Georgia I do think too when you do the college football studies and you're like this guy is an RPO and screen merchant,
44:23you got to look at the offense a little bit cuz there's just some weird stuff that goes on in college football and
44:28that I think it's more so the Georgia offense was playing to the limitations of their quarterback versus Zach Kuntz.
44:36>> He was also good at that. You know, it was a very gimmicky thing, but he was like a really fun player in that role.
44:44We've been burned by that guy it you know, in fantasy a decent amount. Like I was you know, I've I've drafted some of these guys.
44:51It's it can be pretty disappointing, but I do think with Branch they'll take a look at him probably. It seems like he's had a solid enough camp
44:59where he's going to he's going to get some work.
45:02And the profile's kind of nice where it's like if he gets on the field, he'll probably get targeted because he's a
45:09shallow target type of guy and and then he can he can add with YAC. So, um it's like a lower upside swing than
45:18you typically see for a rookie, I'd say, but uh I think he fits the team nicely.
45:24One cuz we got him we already have some upset swings and we also have Pinix.
45:27Yeah, let's go let's go Cole Kmet. He's I I swear I think he's just the starting tight end for the Chargers.
45:32>> He might be, man.
45:34>> He's like if he has like 450 yards, I'm going to be stoked. Like just just just just to set [laughter] expectations.
45:42But like >> Well, I think I think you were the first person I saw just kind of pull up the Iowa State stats and like you know, bad
45:48receiving tight ends don't just walk into 2,100 yards.
45:51>> Yeah, dude. I I liked him coming out. I thought he I I liked him more than Isaiah Likely, which was wrong.
45:58>> [laughter] >> He He we literally >> For now.
46:00>> behind him. Yeah, for now, but uh you know, and probably he's probably just for good, but he was he was not
46:08an un glorified tackle in college. He was actually a receiving tight end.
46:14It could be quite bullish that he learned how to be a really good blocker as long as he didn't forget how to be a
46:20receiver.
46:21And you know, reports out of camp were that he's getting used as a receiver like quite a bit. I think I think we have been and probably
46:30rightfully like pretty skeptical that this guy on his second contract is going to emerge as like a do everything tight end.
46:38But I think the Chargers are kind of intrigued by that possibility at at a minimum, so >> Yeah.
46:43>> he he could actually he could be another guy that produces early when is they're trying to figure out like do we have a real kind of guy
46:51who just like helps us be versatile, you know, like not tipping plays at all. He can do everything we need. We can punish defenses for playing
47:00the run actually.
47:02Um probably not. But it probably doesn't work.
47:05>> But what if it does?
47:06>> Round 19 to find out. I don't know.
47:08>> Yeah.
47:09Yeah.
47:11>> There goes Keon Coleman. Do you have a round 20? Just scroll down you've been clicking. I do think Dotson could be
47:16nice in this build, you know.
47:18>> Dotson's fine. Dotson's going to start for at least week.
47:24>> [laughter] >> But I mean it's stacked with Penix. I'm I'm totally giving up Dotson.
47:28>> Where is Okay, I got him over here.
47:31Yeah, dude, seriously. He's like 220 now. There he is. Behind Aiyuk now.
47:36God, there was like a week where I was drafting Aiyuk. I just came and looked myself in the mirror when I think about
47:40it.
47:41>> Yeah, I I don't think I took him once cuz uh I just Yeah, I the vibes were bad. The vibes
47:50the vibe were not it was not my >> [gasps] >> Once you start taking shots at Jayden Daniels, I I like oh, I've made a I've
47:56made a mistake.
47:58>> [laughter] >> Made a big mistake. This is crazy like Jahan Dotson's a first round pick that's starting and he's going behind T Martin
48:05who plays for my Columbus Aviators or at least did.
48:08>> [laughter] >> Let's go, Jahan.
48:10>> seem too low.
48:12Right? It's still too low. It's still too low.
48:14>> Pat, I'm not going to lie. After the Josh Jacobs pick, I just thought we were going to put together because of my dumb
48:20ass one of the worst teams of all time.
48:22I think we kind of did okay.
48:24>> No, dude, we we Look, there's all these I guess this is like the the Friday before Labor Day is when everyone
48:33unloads the clip of like, "You got to take running backs early." tweets cuz I've seen like eight different ones today. But, um
48:40in fact we built a pretty good team that has running back upside like a good amount of running back upside without taking a
48:49running back through the first three rounds.
48:51Um it's actually wide receiver that we were hammering late cuz we we ended up being pretty damn good at running back
48:58by uh by going three in round uh four, five, and six.
49:02>> I felt like the whole time I was like, we need to catch up at wide receiver, but we got Puka and Neighbors in one and
49:07two.
49:07>> Yeah, we're good.
49:09>> Yeah.
49:09>> It's more about like filling the flex.
49:12>> Mhm.
49:13>> Like our flex score could be kind of weak early or at least it had the potential to be pretty weak. I feel better about
49:20it the way we closed though because uh we got Weix, we got uh we got Mitchell, you know, we we have some
49:27receivers that should Like if those guys are good picks at all, they should help out early on and then yeah, I mean, down
49:33the stretch like if if this team can just be like fourth place by, you know, week if we're fourth place rolling into week seven, like I think
49:42this this team's advancing and then it has a ton of upside if it can get out of the pod.
49:48>> Well, let's freaking party then, my friend. Josh Jacobs nine. He's going to be going round four by tonight. So, that
49:56was just a sharp pick that we thought out and it just, you know, all came together. But, Pat, great stuff, man.
50:03Legendary Upside, Ship Chasing. Anything else you want to get off your chest?
50:07>> No, uh that's that's all my all my content's over at Legendary Upside uh for written and rankings and all that
50:12good stuff. Got you covered with Draft Kings rankings over there as well as, you know, redraft rankings.
50:18Um but, yeah, Ship Chasing will be back Monday for our final draft of the summer uh drafting with Mike Leone and Ben
50:27Grech and Peter Overzet in a 5K Big Payback. Um so, that'll be that'll be a ton of fun.
50:34Uh also, for anyone who has not seen it, we did a draft earlier this week called the Spite Draft where me, Davis Mattek,
50:41Jacob, and Pete drafted our own separate teams taking the players that the other three kept out voting us but then also increasingly just taking
50:52the players we knew that our our co-managers wanted and sniping each other. So, it kind of went off the rails a little bit.
51:01>> [laughter] >> It's uh it was just an absolute joy of a draft.
51:06>> I would I would watch that stream.
51:08>> You'll get a kick out of it, yeah.
51:10>> Did anyone walk away actually feeling good about their team or did it leave you feeling >> good about my team, yeah.
51:14>> Okay.
51:15>> Uh especially, yeah, I ended up I ended up taking the uh the Jacobs plunge there in uh in the 10th round. So, we'll see
51:21how that shakes out, but um uh yeah, I actually felt really good about my team, but I kind of kicked off
51:28the the sniping because I was out of the 12 hole.
51:31Didn't get McBride, tight end premium league. Didn't get McBride. Didn't get Justin Jefferson.
51:36Went with CeeDee Lamb. Needed a running back.
51:40Took Kenneth Walker. Of course, Davis is two picks after me, slamming his fist into the table, you know.
51:46>> [laughter] >> Come on, man.
51:49So, that kind of set the tone for the rest for the rest of >> Early.
51:54>> [laughter] >> That's fantastic. Make sure you guys check all that out. Again, always doing fun stuff over there in a sharp way,
