C.J. Stroud

PositiveProjection0:06

CJ Stroud had a bottom 10 postseason success rate since 2007 but was a top 10 quarterback by EPA per play in the regular season, sandwiched between Sam Darnold and Patrick Mahomes, suggesting his poor playoff performance shouldn't completely discount his regular season ability.

Insight page

CeeDee Lamb

PositiveValue0:05

CeeDee Lamb is liked as a receiver but has ecosystem and quarterback questions that make him rank slightly behind Justin Jefferson in early round decisions.

Insight page

Drake London

PositiveValue0:06

Drake London is a strong receiver with a skill set well-suited to PPR formats like DraftKings, but is ranked slightly behind Nico Collins in overall player evaluation despite being liked by the analyst.

Insight page
PositiveValue0:10

Drake London is presented as a more consistent alternative to Nico Collins in the second round for those seeking stability over ceiling upside.

Insight page
PositiveRole0:12

Drake London experienced a role change under Zack Robinson where his on-ball/off-ball snap distribution flipped and his slot snaps increased, similar to what should happen for Ibuka.

Insight page
NegativeValue0:21

Analysts prefer Nico Collins over Drake London in early-round WR selections.

Insight page

Jayden Higgins

PositiveRole0:08

Jaden Higgins is mentioned as an interesting secondary receiver option in Houston's offense behind Nico Collins.

Insight page

Jordan Addison

PositiveRole0:02

Jordan Addison ran slant routes on only 5.9% of his sampled routes in the Kevin O'Neill passing game, indicating the offense does not rely on short layup routes.

Insight page

Justin Herbert

PositiveRole0:16

Will no longer be handcuffed by Greg Roman's offense under new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, allowing the Chargers to open up their playbook.

Insight page

Justin Jefferson

PositiveProjection0:01

Justin Jefferson is described as an 'obvious rebound candidate' with elite reception perception metrics (94th percentile success rate vs man, 94th percentile vs zone, 98th percentile vs press coverage), and the analyst prefers him slightly over CD Lamb as a round one fantasy pick due to his talent and the Vikings' downfield-heavy route design.

Insight page
PositiveRole0:02

Justin Jefferson ran slant routes at only 10.8% and curl routes at 8.3% in 2024, indicating the Vikings offense runs a ton of downfield patterns that can produce big plays when they hit.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:05

Justin Jefferson is expected to get fed a ton with Kyler Murray at quarterback and should benefit from downfield route opportunities in Minnesota's offense.

Insight page
PositiveValue0:05

Justin Jefferson should be taken ahead of CeeDee Lamb in early round drafting despite both being strong receivers.

Insight page
PositiveValue0:21

Analysts agree on ranking Justin Jefferson over CD Lamb in rounds one, two, and three of drafts.

Insight page

Kyler Murray

PositiveRole0:04

Kyler Murray has a strong track record of sustaining and feeding his number one wide receivers, having done so with Larry Fitzgerald, DeAndre Hopkins, and Hollywood Brown throughout his career.

Insight page
PositiveRole0:04

Kyler Murray has a strong track record of sustaining and maximizing his number one wide receivers, having done so with Larry Fitzgerald, DeAndre Hopkins, and Hollywood Brown throughout his career.

Insight page

Mecole Hardman

PositiveProjection0:13

Could be a 140-target player in Tampa Bay's offense, which throws the ball more than Los Angeles, giving him a higher target ceiling than Lad Makanyi due to environment and player skill set.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:14

Over his first five games was on pace for 1500 yards, but over his last 11 games was on pace for only 724 yards—less than half his early-season pace.

Insight page
NegativeInjury0:14

Suffered a hamstring injury that significantly hampered his explosiveness and durability throughout games, causing his snap share to suffer in subsequent contests.

Insight page

Nico Collins

PositiveValue0:06

Nico Collins is the preferred pick over Drake London in round two, with an ADP of 22.9 compared to Drake London's 19, as Collins is viewed as the better overall player.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:07

Nico Collins is an elite receiver with a 96th percentile success rate versus press coverage in the 2024 season and is ranked ahead of Drake London as a real-life player.

Insight page
PositiveRole0:08

Nico Collins is the clear number one alpha receiver in Houston's offense, with the second year of the offense under Nick Kaye expected to improve and the offensive line potentially better than last year.

Insight page
PositiveProjection0:09

If Nico Collins can stay healthy for a full 17-game season (which he's never done in five NFL years), he has 1500-yard and 10-12 touchdown potential upside.

Insight page
NegativeInjury0:09

Nico Collins has never played a full season in his five years in the NFL and has durability concerns, though he managed 1,100 yards in 15 games despite not having a great season.

Insight page
PositiveValue0:09

Despite not having a great season, Nico Collins still produced 1100 yards in 15 games, demonstrating his upside potential.

Insight page
PositiveBreakout0:10

The analyst is willing to chase Nico Collins' ceiling upside in the second round, viewing him as a potential breakout candidate if health cooperates.

Insight page
PositiveValue0:21

Analysts agree on ranking Nico Collins over Drake London in rounds one, two, and three of drafts.

Insight page

Tyler Lockett

PositiveValue0:19

Tyler Lockett comparison to Makkey highlights that while Lockett was excellent against man/press coverage, he managed only 110-132 targets annually in Seattle's run-first offense from 2019-2023, raising questions about target ceiling in similar schemes.

0:00What is cracking everybody? James Co.
0:02Matt Harmon here with you. We're using reception perception tools and data to help you in your best ball contest.
0:09Please go check out DraftKings for all of your best ball best baseball best ball needs. But man, today we are talking about wide receiver debates.
0:18This guy or that guy. In the very first round, we're going to go through the first three rounds. Rounds one, two, and
0:24three. In round number one, Matt Harmon, Justin Jefferson is going one pick ahead of CD Lamb. Who you got?
0:35>> This one is tight. Uh because listen, I think CD Lamb is going to have a big year this year.
0:42>> You know, I bounce back like he it's almost kind of weird that he's, you know, he seems like he's getting a
0:47little bit of shade at this point for the way he played last year. Let's not forget, of course, George Pickins was
0:51there. that was a big part of it. But also guy was playing through a high ankle sprain last year as well. Um I
0:57talked to CD Lamb after that season uh at the Super Bowl this past year and he mentioned like yeah you know uh high
1:05ankle sprain won't just like it could ruin your career. Not just ruin your season. I was like shoot that could that
1:10could ruin your uh that could ruin your your season. He's like dude that can ruin your career if you're not care
1:15careful with it. So I don't want to discount CD Lamb. He's obviously playing with the better quarterback. um you know, Dak Prescott, even if you're
1:23optimistic about Kyler Murray, which I am optimistic about, you know, Kyler Murray to some degree. At the same time, Dak Prescott is Dak Prescott, and this
1:31offense is going to be a really good passing game. That being said, I think there's no doubt that if you look at
1:36Justin Jefferson, he's just such an obvious rebound candidate uh to me, you know, for a variety of reasons, but one, we just know this guy's one of the best
1:44receivers in the NFL. uh 90, this is the 2024 season for him in reception perception, 94th percentile success rate verse man, 94th percentile success rate
1:54verse zone, 98th percentile success rate verse press coverage. Like this guy is an unbelievable talent. You go through the historic reception perception
2:05database, he's an elite receiver through and freaking through. There's no doubt about that. And I think one thing I've just really noticed about the Kevin
2:14Oonnell passing game, and this is something maybe like doesn't get discussed enough, but I was just recently working on Jordan Addison.
2:22>> Okay.
2:22>> And this kind of really dawned on me.
2:25Addison ran a slant route on 5.9% of his sampled routes. You know, like they're not running a lot of layups, dude.
2:32>> That is outrageous. And even if you look at Justin Jefferson's 2024 season, >> his slant route rate 10.8%.
2:39curl route rate 8.3%.
2:43>> They just run a ton of downfield patterns does this offense like >> in a way that almost, you know, you
2:49could kind of say like was maybe in disservice of a of a young quarterback who needed a lot of experience. Maybe JJ
2:56McCarthy like almost kind of needed more of those layups, but you know, that's like a whole separate conversation. But the point for fantasy
3:03>> Yeah. Is it like I think Justin Jefferson like obviously gets the quarterback upgrade but he also gets he's he's running a ton of these
3:09downfield routes like when he hits he's going to hit big. So yeah, give me like Jefferson slightly over CD Lamb as a
3:16round one fantasy pick this year.
3:18>> I can respect the injury conversation surrounding CD Lamb, but at the end of the day with George Pickkins there, there is a competition for targets that
3:26CD Lamb uh did not have to fight through I think for the seasons prior to that.
3:31Right. We're talking about a guy who saw 181 targets uh three years ago, 152 targets the next year, and then 117
3:39targets last year. I I know the injury had a big part to do with that, but at the end of the day, George Pickkins is
3:46still there. Um and they're going to spread that ball around a little bit. I I'm with you, man. Dak Prescott has an
3:53he absolutely has a chance to throw for 5,000 yards this year. Dallas's defense, I think, uh, will not be, you know,
3:59again, a shutdown unit by any stretch of the imagination.
4:02>> It'll be better than last year, but that's a low bar to clear.
4:04>> Exactly. [laughter] Exactly. Right. So, uh, but still, so even if we're projecting Lamb to have I don't know, on a Rosie projection, I
4:12think 150 is still pretty good and like he could be really, really productive with 150 targets. But man, man, Justin Jefferson is another beast entirely. And
4:24you know, I like the fact that Kyler is going to be the quarterback there. Look, I've been highly critical of the Kyler
4:30to Minnesota um connection cuz I it to from a schematic standpoint, X's and no, it doesn't seem to be a great match. Um
4:37but when we're talking about just straight fantasy football, >> Kyler Murray I think has done um a really good job sustaining wide receiver
4:46ones. you know, whether it's Larry Fitzgerald way back in the day, Nuke Hopkins for multiple seasons, Hollywood Brown for a season with Kyler Murray as
4:55well. I Kyler's just done a really good job of feeding his number one wide receivers um and and maximizing what they can do. Listen, I'm not saying all
5:05those guys that I just listed off put together just insane O seasons, but they were also I mean, Larry Fitz was 36
5:12years old. like Nuke Hopkins was on the back nine of his career and dealing with multiple injuries. Hollywood Brown is just not that guy and still yet
5:20>> Kyler Murray I thought brought from a statistical point of view um brought these guys to the table. Right. So now
5:27now he's going to pair with you're telling me he's going to pair with Justin Jefferson. Yeah. No, I I think Justin Jefferson is going to get fed a
5:35ton. Um and if those what you said what you're talking about in terms of the downfield routes like if that materializes Yeah. 100%. Um, give me
5:44Justin Jefferson um, ahead of CD Lamb.
5:47And I like CD Lamb a lot as well. Okay, in round number two, it is Drake London
5:54or Nico Collins. Where are we going?
5:59>> Dude, this one [sighs and gasps] is honestly like asking me to, you know, I don't have kids.
6:06>> Pick your favorite kid.
6:07>> You You have two kids, so maybe uh you could speak to this better. I got two dogs. Okay.
6:12>> Pick pick between my two dogs.
6:14>> Sure.
6:14>> I don't want to do that. They're I love them both for different reasons. And Drake London and Nico Collins are very
6:20different receivers.
6:22>> Yeah.
6:23>> But I think I'm going to go with Nico Collins here.
6:25>> Um and I'm not outright just similar like we said with the round one debate.
6:28I'm not outright like fading Drake London just like I'm not outright fading CD Lamb, right? But I do have some, you
6:36know, I have ecosystem questions for both of these guys and I have some relative quarterback questions for both of these guys. But I do think CJ Strad
6:44is getting unfairly slammed for his playoff run. Uh, look, his playoff run was undefensible. It was it was one of the worst playoffs we've ever seen for
6:54any quarterback in the last >> seou he had a bottom 10 success rate uh for quarterbacks in ter since 2007 in
7:03the postseason guys who played multiple postseason games. It was it was it was atrocious. His his his playoff runs were terrible. That being said, in the
7:11regular season he was a top 10 quarterback by EPA per play. He was actually sandwiched between Sam Darnold and Patrick Mahomes. like he was not I
7:19think the problem is just the bad moments were really bad and the bad moments were like in the postseason when everybody was watching and in Seattle in
7:26a Monday Night Football I believe prime time game where everybody was watching and and that wasn't a great moment for Straoud either and I do think like bad
7:33habits have started to creep into his game. So again, I I get that, but like Straoud is not so bad that we need to
7:39knock Nico Collins. And Nico Collins is so freaking good, man. Like reception perception has always been ahead of consensus on Nico Collins remains really
7:50high on Nico Collins. 96th percentile success rate verse press for Nico Collins of the 2024 season. Like this guy is an elite elite receiver. Um I
7:59actually think just straight up real life he's actually a little bit I would rank him ahead of Drake London. I'm a
8:04huge Drake London fan. So, better player actually going a little bit later in DraftKings baseball right now. Uh 22.9
8:13ADP compared to 19 for Drake London. And Drake London definitely is his skill set as a layup kind of power slot receiver
8:21is a little bit akin to like a full PPR site like DraftKings. But this early, I'm not making those kind of
8:26format-based decisions. I'm taking the better player, which I do think is Nico Collins, and I'm a huge Drake London fan, but I think it's Nico Collins with
8:33the better quarterback. Second year of the offense under Nick Kaye should be a little bit better this year. The offensive line is also maybe a little
8:40bit improved. I just think things are actually pointing in a better direction for this passing game maybe than people realize. And I think like yeah, Jaylen
8:49Null is interesting. Jaden Higgins is interesting. There's an alpha, there's a number one in Nico in in Houston. And it's Nico Collins, man. Um, I mean to
8:57your point, I I just like the fact that they finally have tried to address the offensive line. It should be a more
9:04stable offensive unit there uh in Houston. Again, I everyone's got to stay healthy obviously, but if it does, I think Houston's offensive line will not
9:14be one of the worst we've ever seen. So hopefully uh that will help. And you know what's crazy, man? At the end of
9:21the day, I don't think Nico Collins had a great season by any stretch of the imagination. And yet when you go look he
9:26still had 1100 yards, right? So uh >> he didn't stay healthy.
9:30>> I mean in 15 games in 15 games he did 1100 yards. So again if there is a way and listen this is it's it's a tall task
9:39because he has never played a full season has Nico Collins in his five years in the in in the NFL. He's just
9:46he's just never been fully healthy. Um, but if we can miraculously get a full 17game slate from Nico Collins,
9:57which I think is possible, but if we can get that, um, this is a player that I think has 1500 yard and, you know, 10 to
10:0510 to 12 touchdown uh, potential upside.
10:09So, listen, I'll chase that upside too, man. Um, I think if you want to get with a little bit more consistent type of
10:16player, I think it might be Drake London. But for baseball, if I'm trying to chase a little bit of a ceiling, I
10:21think I'm going to take Nico Collins um here as well. So, um Okay, so we talk about Nico Collins versus Drake London
10:30in the second round. In the third round, it's a Mecha Ibuka versus Lad McConi. You and I have been
10:39sympatico in the first two rounds. We got Justin Jefferson over CD Lamb. You and I both have Nico Collins over Drake
10:46London. Where are you going in round number three? Amecha Ibuka or Lad Bukakei?
10:53>> This is another one where it's really tough for me to pick because I am pretty high on both of these guys and Dynasty
11:00and even this year I really like the way these guys set up. Um, but I'm going to I'm going to go slightly slightly
11:07towards Amecha Ibuka. And these guys are razor close in ADP. 32.3 overall ADP in DraftKings best baseball is a Mecha Ibuka. Lad Maki 34.8. But
11:17I'll I'll give this to Ibuka for >> okay >> a couple of reasons and I want to I like here's here's the biggest one. It is the
11:25role change and the position change that he's about to get. Uh Zack Robinson Bucks offensive coordinator used to be with the Falcons.
11:32>> Yeah.
11:32>> He said that he Iuka is going to play the Z receiver role in this offense which is like what Cooper Cup played for
11:39the Rams. Remember, Zack Robinson was uh involved on the coaching staff for the Rams before going to the Falcons.
11:46Obviously, we just talked about Drake London. That's kind of the position he was playing in this offense where you're going to kick into the slot on a good
11:51bit, but mostly you're going to be an offball outside receiver. Cooper Cup obviously is sort of the the lynchpin player of this kind of power slot Z role
11:59for the team uh in this offensive system. This is huge news for Acha Ibuka, who last year took 68.6% 6% of
12:06his sampled snaps outside, only 30.2% in the slot. He was on the line of scrimmage for 64%.
12:14That's not what you want for Ibuka. You want him more in the slot. You want him more off ball than on ball. That is
12:20exactly what happened to Drake London in Zack Robinson's first season with the team. His rate of snaps on ball, off ball, basically flipped and his routes
12:29and percentage of snaps in the slot kicked up. Ibuka was a big slot prospect coming out of Ohio State. He was one of
12:36the best zone be he wasn't just the best zone beater in his class outside of Travis Hunter. He actually would have
12:41been better than all of the prospects taken in the 2024 NFL draft which was this very hyped up receiver class. Been
12:48a little hit or miss in the NFL, but he was the best zone beater if he had been grouped in with those prospects as well.
12:53He came in under 80% slightly 79.3% not a bad score by any means but under 80% as his own beater in his first season. I
13:02would contend that had that had more to do with the fact that he's running so many of these outside ex receiver
13:08routes. So if we're thinking about him in this new alignment, this new role, you look at the routes he's really successful on, post routes, dig routes,
13:16slant routes. I mean, shooty, you mix the curl in, but especially those like breaking inbreaker, the the break in breakers. True. Like in cuts, slants,
13:24digs, posts. These are some outrageous success rates. Really high success rates for him. That's the main diet that this Z receiver and this offense will run. I
13:35I love the role change. I love the routes that he's going to be running. He was kind of cooking on those posts and
13:41digs to begin the year before the hamstring injury as a rookie.
13:44>> Yeah.
13:45>> And I just think if we're talking about overall target like ceiling and projection here, I think it's got to go
13:53to a Mecha Ibuka in an offense that probably throws the ball more in Tampa Bay than what we see in Los Angeles. And
14:01I just think I could be like a 140 target player. I'm I'll talk about Lad Mani maybe in a second, but I I don't
14:07know. I think I has a higher target ceiling than Lad Makanki does. Some because of environment, but also some of player skill set. So, give me Ibuka a
14:18little bit more in the third round in baseball than Lad Makanki. And that hurts to say because I am very high on
14:23Lad Maki as well.
14:25>> Amecha Ibuka over his first five games came out gang busters, right? I mean, over his first five games was on pace
14:31for he had a 1500 yard pace. I mean, it was just absolutely outrageous. He was crazy. [snorts] But then over his last
14:3711 games, he was on pace for 724 yards.
14:41So, less than half of what he was on pace for over his first five games. So, um, but to your point though, Matt, I
14:48don't think enough has been made of his hamstring injury because remember, he suffered a hamstring injury and people thought he was going to be done for a
14:55couple of weeks. He didn't miss any time at all. So obviously he played through that and it it significantly hampered his explosiveness um and his durability
15:04throughout games as well. Um you know I think his snapshare ended up you know suffering quite a bit in in in games
15:12right. So >> to me achabuka I I think the player that Amecha Iabuka is is between those two very extreme you know uh scenarios.
15:23>> Yeah. That being said though, Matt, I I am so hard in on Lad McConi. I I I would take >> I mean, yes, I'm all in on this dude,
15:34man, because I tell you what, if if if I see Lad there in the third, I'm celebrating. Like, I can't believe he
15:40would be a third round pick because I would take him in the second round.
15:44That's how high I am on Lad Manki. When you talk about a dude that again um no Keenan Allen now in uh with the Chargers
15:55um Mike McDaniel in there at offensive coordinator there's just so many signs pointing to Lad truly honestly having a
16:05not just a breakout but like a monster season, right? So he to me is the clear-cut number one. I know you might
16:12disagree with me uh that uh that there is a smaller gap. I'm not going to disagree with you on that.
16:18>> No, but [laughter] but but I'm saying the talent gap between him and the rest of the unit is is significant. Um and so
16:28yeah, I think he's going to be the number one guy. Uh he's going to be the go-to guy in a Mike McDaniel offense.
16:33The offense has been updated. Uh Justin Herbert is again not going to be handcuffed by this Greg Roman offense.
16:42Um and they're going to open this bad boy up. By the way, defensively, I'll be curious. Um, they lose Jesse Mentor. I I
16:48I think that Harbaugh will still have obviously his thumb pressed very heavily onto the defensive side of the play calling and all that stuff. So, I think
16:56they'll be fine, but I also wouldn't be surprised if an aging unit in the Los Angeles Chargers plays a little bit
17:04worse for wear um next season, which could again force the hand of Justin Herbert and the OC to to open it up. I
17:13look, I think that Lad Maki truly honestly has 1500 yard potential. That's his upside to me and I'll chase that all
17:20day long.
17:21>> Okay, a couple things here. Um, one I actually thought your best point was about the defense there. Uh, because I
17:28don't think this is getting talked about enough. Um, look, like we can show the reception perception route charts for Lad Maki. He's awesome. Like we we know
17:35he's a stone cold stud. Of course, >> we know that. That's like unquestionable. I would say that the the talent gap part of it as I've tried to
17:44get you on board with QJ being a an improved and functional player, >> you're basically because I know you're good at geography, so you'll you'll
17:52you'll catch on to this.
17:53>> You you basically think that the talent gap between uh Lad Maki and everybody else is like Maine to Florida, >> and I think it's more like Maine to, you
18:04know, Maryland. still pretty significant, >> but we're not talking about all the way down to Florida.
18:10>> Right. Right. Right. Right.
18:10>> East coast geography. That's I know your favorite level of geography there as well.
18:14>> It's that's tough. That's tough for me.
18:17>> All right. Fine. It's like uh it's it's uh you know uh let's say >> I think it's San Francisco. I think I
18:24think it's San Francisco to San Diego.
18:26You think it's San Francisco to LA?
18:29>> Maybe more like even Santa Barbara. I don't know. A little farther north. A little farther north. Okay. All right.
18:34You know, but okay. that maybe will help you out a little bit.
18:37>> That's helped me considerably.
18:39>> Anyways, >> point being, >> yeah, >> either way, I I think Vlad Makkey set up to have a monster year, but I do think
18:45that defensive point by you is really good because I think that the the toughest part for the Chargers is like every time I watch receivers on film,
18:54that secondary is so good in zone coverage, just closing windows. Jesse Mentor and I don't think they're like that I think they have some good
19:00players. I don't think they're like that that that talented there. Um for the the Chargers secondary, it's mostly just how good they were from like a, you know,
19:10just a standpoint of being just closing windows and really well coached and really well timed. How much does that work with Jesse Mter?
19:17>> So, I do think they could be in higher pass first game scripts, but Mike McDaniel offenses are always kind of
19:23slow paced. They run, you know, don't run a ton of plays. They run the football a lot. And some of these comps
19:30for Lad Maki I think are interesting from a reception perception standpoint.
19:33Like he was really good in 2025 still. I mean again we know he's a baller. Almost 77% success rate versus man almost 80%
19:40verse Press. He was actually better um in his first season. So even then I want to point out I'll actually I'll actually
19:47pull up his his his first season here because I think this it helps make this point when he was even better and we see
19:52some of these comps here. The second comp I want to point out here is uh Tyler Lockett.
19:57>> Okay. Tyler Lockett here comparable to Lad Maki. And the reason I want to highlight this is because one, it was
20:02like my player comparison for Lad Maki as a player. It's also one of the things I think I wouldn't call it a concern,
20:08but like from a fantasy standpoint, if Lad Maki ends if one real life standpoint, you know, like prospect victory lapping. If Lad Maki is Tyler
20:16Lockett, cool, we'll take it. Like he'll be awesome for the Chargers. He is awesome for the Chargers. But from a fantasy standpoint, Tyler Lockett in his
20:24good, really good run with the Seahawks from 2019 to 2023, 110, 132, 107, 117, 122 targets in kind
20:34of a slow pace run first offense with Pete Carol there.
20:40>> If those are the target totals, like if I just think physically like Lockett couldn't handle a lot of volume because
20:46he was a smaller player.
20:47>> Yep.
20:47>> He could win outside. He was awesome against man press coverage as the data shows.
20:51>> Lad Maki can play outside awesome against man press coverage as the data shows. But just physically we've seen Lad like have to scrape himself off the
20:58turf.
20:59>> True.
20:59>> You know it's true >> with the injuries. Can he handle 140 targets like I think Amecha Ibuka could this year.
21:05>> That's sort of again we're I'm not out obviously I'm not out on Lad. I think Lad is great. I I totally but I just if
21:11we're breaking ties here, maybe that's one reason to say like archetypewise Ibuka can handle more targets from a fantasy standpoint in your baseball
21:19draft than than maybe Lad Maki can. And and I hope I'm wrong about that. And you're right about the 1500 yards for
21:25Lad because I think he's a baller.
21:26>> Yeah, man. He's he's great. Um and again, um I I like the the Tyler Lockett comparisons. I just think in today's NFL
21:35they could just do a players are a lot more protected nowadays.
21:39>> Sure.
21:40>> Than Tyler Lockett was u when he was running rampant with Seattle catching those moonshots from Russell Wilson. Oh by the way Justin Herbert much better
21:49quarterback than Russell Wilson.
21:51>> Um I would agree. So there you go.
21:54Anyways there you go. Uh rounds one, two, and three. It's a little bit of a wide receiver battle. We agree on Justin
21:59Jefferson over CD Lamb. We agree on Nico Collins over Drake London, but we disagree on Lad Maki versus Amecha Ibuka. What do you guys think, man? Are
22:09we crazy? Do you guys agree with us? Let us know in the comments below.
22:12Obviously, [snorts] go check out the website receptionperception.com.
22:16And for all of your best ball needs, man, go to DraftKings. All right, there you go. We got to get out of here,
22:22though. For Matt Harman, I'm James Co.
22:23We'll see you. Remember, it's never too late to chase your dreams. Peace.
