Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, May first,

0:12

twenty seed twenty four. Welcome to the NFL

0:15

Fantasy Football Podcast. But we're also resigning

0:17

with the Dallas Cowboys. It's me your man, nam G Marcus

0:19

Grant, joined by Michael f. Florio and Laqwan

0:22

Jones, and we have made

0:24

it through the long, dusty

0:26

desert that is draft season.

0:30

No more speculation.

0:31

I mean, I guess there's still some speculation, but now it's

0:33

more educated speculation. I guess

0:35

instead of just trying to figure out where guys fit,

0:37

we know where guys have landed and

0:41

we can start to kind of talk about what this means. So

0:43

my first question to you guys at Florida, I'll start

0:45

with you, how many rookie drafts have

0:48

you been in?

0:48

Are you going to be in?

0:51

I have one that you're in as well. That's

0:55

that's right, that's right. Luckily,

0:57

it's a slow draft. I don't even think a pick

0:59

has been made yet. I have another one

1:02

that I think starts in like a couple

1:04

of days or something like that. And then I got to check. I

1:06

have a couple coming up. I've already jumped

1:08

in a best ball draft or two because I'm a lunatic,

1:11

and uh, that's what post draft

1:13

is for, right, we got to kill this void somehow.

1:16

Yeah, I'm looking that one that you

1:18

mentioned that we're both in together. I I

1:20

don't think I I think I have one pick. I think

1:22

I've traded away like all the picks, all

1:25

my rookie picks in that draft. It's

1:28

look, it's worked out. I won a championship a couple of years

1:30

ago. I got to the playoffs

1:33

last year, so like, yeah, I gave away assets,

1:35

but like I got It's

1:37

like the Rams. It's like your Rams look

1:39

on like they they didn't have first round picks for

1:41

a long long time, but they won a super Bowl out

1:43

of it. So it yeah,

1:46

yeah, are you in. I'm

1:48

assuming you're in some rookie drafts at some point, right

1:50

yeah.

1:50

I'm currently in three right now, and

1:53

it's struggling to get past the second round

1:55

because it's an eight.

1:56

Hour clock and then we pause it, you know, the

1:58

whole ordeal. But I'm in.

1:59

No, I mean, I'm pretty pretty happy

2:01

with I started out with Jadeen

2:04

Daniels.

2:05

So it's may first we

2:07

have time exactly.

2:09

But no, there's some people that are like really itchy,

2:11

just to make their first pick, and I get it, but you

2:13

know, you know, it's draft season.

2:15

This is what happens.

2:16

Yeah, So

2:18

anyway, yes, rookies have landed. We

2:20

were with you on Thursday night for our

2:23

live stream. Thanks to everybody who jumped in

2:25

and participated in that and everybody who

2:27

watched it after the fact.

2:28

You know, we're like, we're like a streaming service, buzzing

2:30

man.

2:30

It's like a.

2:31

Streaming service man. You jump in after the fact. It's

2:33

all good there too. We appreciate it. So

2:35

we're gonna come back and we're gonna recap the rest of

2:37

the draft and how we're feeling about some things.

2:40

So Day two, Day three, and then

2:42

we will give our top

2:44

ten dynasty rankings.

2:46

So I mean, it's just started with

2:48

Day two because a lot

2:50

going on there. The recap for

2:53

fantasy purposes for running backs drafted,

2:55

nine wide receivers drafted. Two tight

2:57

ends went off the board in Day two, rounds

3:00

two and three, So let's just start.

3:02

Let's start with wide receivers.

3:04

Your favorite and your least

3:06

favorite wide receiver landing spot, Laquon,

3:09

What did you did?

3:10

You not like?

3:12

There was a couple of landing spots that I

3:14

ended up liking after doing research

3:16

after like I love Jermaine Burton where he landed

3:18

with I love Xavier Worthy, but my least

3:20

favorite it was like spots for like Malik

3:22

Neighbors obviously going to the Giants. Man that was

3:25

a little gut punch, but we'll see how that

3:27

works out.

3:28

Passes from Daniel Doones. It'll be fun.

3:31

I can't even mispronounce my last name if I

3:33

wanted, I can't say that, like it's nuts.

3:36

But Ricky piersoll Man, he's

3:38

another one that ended up going to a situation

3:40

where it's a little crowded, so it might

3:42

take some time for him to build some fantasy relevance,

3:45

but it'll be you know, cool to see him on the field

3:47

make plays in real life football, but not much

3:49

you know, fancy relevance with those landing.

3:51

Spots for me, Florida

3:53

your your favorite least favorite landing spots?

3:56

Yeah, a lot of what LaQuan said, Like I

3:58

like Jermaine Burton going to to the Bengals

4:00

long term. I love for

4:02

me Tier two in

4:05

in uh In Redraft and Dynasty.

4:07

Well, Dynasty is a little different, but like Keon

4:09

Koleman, Xavier Worthy, lad McConkie. I

4:11

loved where all of them went, and uh, I

4:13

think they both all three kind of came away from

4:15

the draft as big winners. I don't

4:17

hate the Malik Neighbors landing spot nearly

4:19

as much as a lot of people

4:22

do. But then there were some like uh

4:26

I I really wanted. I like the Javon

4:28

Baker landing spot. I was hoping he went

4:31

a little earlier, but like Malik Washington

4:33

fell to a spot a point where I didn't like

4:35

Ricky piersoal Like Lakwan said, uh

4:38

so yeah, not not all great, but overall,

4:40

I thought more good landing spots than

4:42

bad.

4:43

So you guys are like, so the Ricky

4:45

Piersol thing, do is it because you

4:47

guys believe both Ayuk and

4:50

Deebo will still be there in week one?

4:52

Is that what it is for me?

4:54

Yeah?

4:55

Yeah, absolutely. I don't

4:57

think you trade a Diebo wait because

4:59

you got Ricky. I don't think you trade at Ayuk

5:01

because you got Ricky. He's a great addition to

5:04

the offense to contribute. But I think a

5:06

lot of people are having their fantasy lenses on, like

5:09

praying for Ayu trade or a

5:11

Debo trade. I think he honestly makes

5:13

that team a little bit better collectively than trying

5:15

to make him like a focal point of the offense.

5:17

I don't think Ayuk's going anywhere.

5:19

I think if anybody gets traded, it's probably gonna be

5:21

Debo and Yeah, I mean I think for the Niners,

5:23

they would love to keep both of them. They just have to figure out

5:25

how to pay both men. Yeah, yeah,

5:27

that's that's the issue. It's not you know, it's not that

5:30

they're tired of Debo or they need to move on. This isn't

5:32

a Stefan Diggs situation. This

5:34

is just more of a financial situation

5:37

for these guys.

5:38

They Yeah,

5:40

they have the option to move on from either one after

5:43

that, like Ayuk is a free agent,

5:45

Deebo, they have an out. So I agree,

5:47

I think they want to cover their bases. But Piersol

5:49

is a really nice like in case we can't,

5:52

we get our guy a year early as the replacement

5:55

exactly.

5:55

I can say that one of my favorite landing

5:58

spots was honestly, Lad mcconki. I

6:01

think he's in a great situation to get a

6:03

whole lot of opportunity there with the Chargers.

6:06

I mean, look, look, at who competition is right now, Right,

6:08

it's Josh Palmer and it's Quinton Johnston. Like

6:12

work right, Like he could very easily, you

6:14

know, overtake those guys and get a whole lot of targets

6:17

even in a run heavy offense. I like

6:19

that spot. Didn't love Jalen McMillan going

6:21

to Tampa. Yeah,

6:23

you know that's a that's a tough scene

6:26

right there, knowing that Mike Evans

6:28

is back, knowing that Chris Godwin is still there, uh,

6:31

and just not being sure that Baker

6:33

Mayfield can support a third guy. I think

6:35

he can support those main two receivers. I don't think he

6:37

can support a third guy. And

6:39

so I think McMillan his development

6:42

is sort of on hold, at least

6:44

for the for the next year or two, and then

6:46

we'll see what what sort of happens after

6:49

that. So

6:51

Lad mcconaughie, I mentioned that I love going

6:53

he goes to the Chargers, Kean Coleman

6:55

goes to Buffalo and Florida.

6:58

Look, I know you guys are excited about what he

7:00

can be on the field. I'm excited about

7:02

the content we're going to get from

7:05

because the dude has

7:07

been super entertaining

7:10

so far, he hasn't even played one.

7:12

He haven't even had an NFL practice yet, and has been

7:14

incredibly entertaining.

7:15

But if we're talking touchdowns.

7:20

Of if we are talking fantasy

7:23

in you know, the year of our fantasy Lloyd twenty

7:25

twenty four, Key Coleman versus Lad McConkie

7:28

Florida, who do you got?

7:30

I have them back to back, and I

7:33

love Lad McConkie as a prospect.

7:35

I liked him a lot more than Key On Coleman coming

7:37

in. But I

7:39

think I'm gonna go with Coleman just

7:42

because the Bills have come

7:44

out and said he is going to be their ex guy.

7:46

Like he is going to be, They're

7:49

at least playwise, their traditional

7:52

wide receiver one on a team

7:54

that I think will pass the ball more with

7:56

a better quarterback. That being said,

7:59

I if you for McConkie, you're not getting

8:01

an argument out of me. I think he was the much better prospect.

8:05

You guys could tell me if I'm being a homer or not. The

8:07

reason I've warmed up to Coleman, other

8:10

than the fact that he now plays on my favorite team,

8:12

is I was like, I don't

8:14

think he's the type of

8:16

wide receiver that can just succeed anywhere.

8:19

But if one

8:21

he's someone who has a much faster game speed

8:23

than forty speed. But also if

8:26

there's a quarterback who can fit it into

8:28

that tight window and get it to where your wide

8:30

receiver can jump up and get those fifty to fifty

8:32

balls. A strong arm quarterback like

8:34

Josh Allen or Mahomes or Dak

8:37

or one of those guys are the ones that I think could get

8:39

the most out of this type of player. You

8:41

guys can tell me if you think I'm just putting rose colored

8:43

glasses on, but I like him a lot more

8:45

with a quarterback like Allan than I would with a

8:47

quarterback like say Jared Goff

8:49

or something like that.

8:51

Yeah, I mean, I was gonna say the landing

8:53

spot mattered one hundred percent when he came

8:55

to Coleman because we all had our concerns of going

8:58

into the draft.

8:59

He doesn't have that X speed to be a

9:01

true X wide receiver. Blah blah blah. He

9:03

can't separate.

9:04

But when you get a quarterback like Josh Allen

9:06

of that tier where he's going to be able

9:08

to develop his game to the next level, to this

9:10

is the type of player where if Josh

9:12

Allen wants to play hero ball, at least he

9:14

has somebody that has combat hands in the contested

9:16

catch to go get that for him. So I think

9:19

this is a great pick for you guys. And you got

9:21

a playmaker and he's given me Marshawn

9:23

Lynch vibes. Dude, So you got a great

9:25

character and you have a great player on your team.

9:28

So happy for you. Florio bound back

9:30

from the Dick's trade. I don't I don't think. I

9:32

don't think you're being a homer.

9:34

I mean when you say that, because I think it's a great

9:36

situation because there was a need, an absolute

9:38

need at the position. They got a guy who

9:40

can go out and play make and and you

9:43

know we got the pairing with the quarterback that we know is

9:45

going to be there for a while as well.

9:47

Yeah he I but

9:51

it's close.

9:52

Apparently Alan handpicked Coleman.

9:54

Does that matter to you guys at all? Like like mahomes

9:57

want and worthy to me, stuff like that always

9:59

matters a little when the quarterback wants

10:01

that player.

10:02

Strout won it tanked, Oh like the and

10:04

you're seeing wreaking the benefits of these

10:06

picks of the GMS listening to the Star

10:09

Player, you know, like, it's amazing

10:11

that Coleman was able to land.

10:12

There for you guys. So I think that's it's gonna

10:14

be a beautiful connection.

10:15

Man.

10:15

Yeah, no, I think it definitely matters, for sure, matters.

10:20

I said, I I think I like McConkie a little bit

10:22

more than Coleman. It's it's close again,

10:25

just because you know, the guys that I mentioned, right,

10:28

Johnston and Palmer, uh

10:31

don't pose a lot of a threat.

10:33

And I think I think McConkie is incredibly

10:35

versatile.

10:35

You know.

10:36

I know that the thought about him early

10:38

on in the processes that oh, well, he's a slot

10:40

guy, and you know, it was I

10:42

think it was easy for everybody to be like, oh yeah,

10:44

you know, and start throwing out the

10:46

Julian Edelman's and Wes Welkers

10:48

and Danny Mendola's, right.

10:50

I said, Walmart came Cooper cup

10:52

but.

10:53

You know, but I was

10:55

mine, you see.

10:56

But I think the more people started looking into him

10:58

and watching him, you started to realize that, like, he

11:00

does more than just that, and

11:02

he's the guy that you could put in a whole lot of places.

11:05

You know.

11:05

Having other multiple conversations

11:07

with Matt Harmon, who we had on the show

11:10

recently.

11:10

One of the things he mentioned was that like.

11:13

It sort of it could potentially work with Quinton

11:15

Johnston, where you put Johnston on the outside.

11:17

If you want to use McConkie as a slot guy, you

11:20

put Johnson on the outside, let him just occupy

11:22

some defenders out there and open

11:25

things up in the middle of the field for mconkie.

11:27

Or you can just try to put him outside and see if he's

11:29

able to win with you if you're running the right

11:31

kind of routes and running the right kind of schemes for him.

11:33

So it's close, it's

11:35

close. I've got McConkie. I don't know where

11:38

you fall on this.

11:39

O Q same way.

11:40

I mean, I'm gonna play it safer here being that there's

11:42

not much target competition behind him and just

11:45

we fell in love with Lab mcconaky for a reason.

11:47

Go back to watch the tapes, like I've been watching

11:49

you know, tapes before draft for weeks and weeks in

11:52

but I just went back to refresh, Like, Okay,

11:54

he's landing in the spot where there's not

11:56

much competition around him. He could put him anywhere

11:58

on the outside, inside, whatever you want

12:00

to put him. He's gonna make magic out there, and

12:03

I'm just gonna go here with the larger target share,

12:05

which more likely, you know. Kean Coleman

12:07

goes into a situation with Joe Brady where

12:10

I really think all these wide receivers and Dalt

12:12

kin Kaid are gonna equally eat.

12:15

Yeah, she's Dulton

12:18

think. I want Dalton kin k to be a

12:20

thing. Yeah, Like I like Dawson Knox. I like making

12:22

fun Dawson's creak puns whenever he does

12:24

things. But I

12:26

really want Dalton Kinkaid to be a thing. And

12:28

I'm hoping that I'm not. I'm hoping this isn't a thing where like

12:30

three years later, I'm like, I still want Dalton in k

12:33

to be a thing.

12:33

He's gonna lead them in targets this year, targets

12:36

catches touchdowns.

12:37

All right.

12:38

I love I love to hear it.

12:40

Jermaine Burton, this is the guy

12:42

that we were all surprised that he went

12:45

where he did in the third round.

12:47

Certainly, the chatter about him around

12:49

him was that he was gonna fall a whole lot farther than

12:52

he did. But the Bengals stop his slide.

12:55

Look, Lakwan, they've got I would

12:57

say issues at wide receiver. But look, this

13:00

may be the last hurrah for T Higgins

13:02

in Cincinnati. Tyler Boyd

13:04

is already not coming back

13:06

to Cincinnati. Burton

13:09

on the field, there's no argument about

13:11

his talent. Everybody loves his talent. It was

13:13

the other things that had everybody sort of questioning.

13:16

So how confident are you

13:18

in a dynasty format, for instance,

13:20

to maybe take a flyer on

13:23

Jermaine Burton hoping that

13:26

whatever the Bengals do inside their building can kind

13:28

of get him in line.

13:30

Yeah, I mean, the off field stuff is always

13:32

going to worry me. But you just hope

13:34

that he could remain focused, keep

13:36

his nose clean, and hopefully the talent

13:39

speaks for itself to where he could just focus

13:41

and not do anything else and mess anything up.

13:43

But I'm willing to take a flyer on him because

13:46

he's landing in a great situation. Like you spoke

13:48

on T Higgins, this is possibly his

13:50

last season and then he walks into

13:52

year two at a decent target share. They don't

13:55

have, you know as of right now, A Joe

13:57

Mixon to go out there and take some

13:59

of those targets way. They don't have a Tyler Boyd

14:01

anymore. That was like Joe Burrow security blanket

14:03

there. And the great thing about Burton you could put him anywhere

14:06

on this offense. He could run every route tree. So

14:09

I think he's falling into a situation where

14:11

hopefully he is getting fed enough

14:13

to just remain focused on football and doesn't

14:16

become a wild boy, and hopefully there's not much

14:18

to do in Cincinnati.

14:21

So I'm looking Florida right now at some of the consensus

14:24

rookie rankings in Dynasty, and

14:26

I'm seeing Burton

14:28

at number twenty four overall wide

14:31

receiver fourteen. That

14:33

feels like enough of a discount that

14:35

it's worth taking the swing on him

14:37

if he really if he can put everything together and become

14:40

the guy you know that his talent

14:42

says he can be.

14:43

Is that wide receiver fourteen amongst just rookies,

14:46

amongst rookies, Yeah, I wow.

14:48

I have him for my Dynasty as wide receiver

14:50

eight. So yeah, that to

14:52

me is a value there. I agree with a lot

14:54

of what LQ said, not only I would

14:57

go as so far as to say, like I would

14:59

be shocked if T Higgins

15:01

is back with the Bengals next season,

15:03

so I think they did what kind

15:06

of what I was saying earlier with the Niners. They were

15:08

like, Okay, we're gonna draft this guy a year

15:10

early. Look

15:12

all the off the field stuff. I worry about that

15:14

coming into the draft because I think draft capital

15:16

matters so much. But these they didn't let him

15:19

fall too far. So I think

15:21

they're they're going to be invested

15:23

in him and stuff, and he'll be

15:25

if he could be that number two opposite of Jamar Chase

15:27

with Joe Burrow from next year

15:29

on. Yeah, that is a player

15:31

that I think you want on your roster and this

15:34

year. For this year, I don't. It'll

15:36

probably take an injury for him to be consistent

15:39

in redraft, but I think he is a player

15:41

that in best Ball drafts you could take late because

15:44

he is a downfield speed merchant

15:46

and he will have big plays in this offense

15:48

with Joe Burrow and co.

15:49

Yeah, And I think that's the thing. He'll have big plays.

15:51

I think the consistency, at least in year one

15:53

may be something that we're a little bit fresh. Part

15:56

of it is just because he is gonna

15:58

be playing with jim Ar Chase, and we know that Chase

16:00

is gonna get a ton of target. Speaking

16:02

of Jamar Chase, I I just saw something come across

16:04

my Twitter timeline his new grill,

16:07

which is I'm gonna

16:09

put this in slack. I mean like maybe we'll

16:11

talk about it on the cheat sheets tomorrow, like this is this

16:14

is wild Jamar Chase's new grill. This has

16:17

nothing to do with football or fantasy. It's just

16:19

like just like damn.

16:23

But because Jamar Chase is there, obviously he is

16:25

going to dominate the uh

16:27

you know, the target share in that offense.

16:29

And you know, as long as T Higgins is there, he's still going

16:31

to get opportunities. And so I think that is going to kind of

16:34

uh dictate how consistent

16:37

Jermaine Burton can be on a week

16:39

two week basis, you know, in his rookie

16:41

season. So another

16:43

who you got? Roman Wilson goes

16:45

to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jalen Polk.

16:48

Which it's funny because we talked

16:51

about this a couple of weeks ago on the show.

16:53

Peter Schrager said.

16:54

Jalen Polk or mocked Jalen Polk into

16:56

the first round and football

16:58

Twitter especially fantas football Twitter and

17:01

draft Twitter. Uh you know, pulled

17:03

the old the meme boo this man,

17:06

and and while he

17:08

wasn't one hundred percent right, he

17:10

was pretty close to right because Jalen

17:12

Polk goes very early in the second

17:15

round and so, uh, you know, Schrager

17:17

might have missed, but he wasn't crazy far off

17:19

on that. But if you're looking at the two sides

17:22

of Florida, Roman Wilson versus Jalen Polk, who

17:24

do you prefer there?

17:26

Roman Wilson.

17:29

One.

17:29

When the Steelers drafted running a wide receiver,

17:31

they get my attention, like they almost

17:34

routinely hit it out of the park Roman

17:36

Wilson, just like the Patriots, guys are

17:38

going to a situation where they need wide

17:40

receiver help behind George Pickens. Like

17:42

their number two before before the draft was

17:45

Van Jefferson, And no disrespect.

17:46

To Van, we know

17:48

what he is.

17:49

At this point, Roman Wilson

17:52

is actually a player that I come

17:54

to Tank Dell. I

17:56

I not that they're the exact same

17:58

player, but they're smaller watercs who could

18:00

win downfield. And Wilson

18:02

did a tremendous job of getting open

18:05

in the red zone time and time again.

18:06

He just had a nose for.

18:07

The end zone and that's exactly what Tank

18:09

Dell was in college. But then it was like, oh, well, he's

18:12

too small to do that in the NFL. I

18:14

don't believe that. So

18:16

I'll take the shot on Wilson. And like, I'll

18:19

admit I wasn't high on Jalen Polk. I

18:21

have put him ahead of Javon Baker

18:24

in my rankings, but they're back to back

18:26

coming in. I had Baker higher. I'm

18:28

not ruling out Baker. Look,

18:30

Polk is gonna get every opportunity because of the second

18:32

round draft capital they used on him, But I

18:35

would not be surprised if Baker ends up

18:37

stealing a lot of work away in that

18:40

Patriot wide receiver room that greatly needs

18:42

someone to step up.

18:43

Yeah, are are you team Wilson or team Polk?

18:46

Heck you?

18:47

Uh.

18:47

I was kind of undersided when I was thinking

18:49

about this. I mean, both could crash and burn. I

18:51

mean, I'm just a little.

18:52

Afraid that's not the way

18:54

I thought you were going with that. Since it's been continue

18:57

I'm a little afraid.

18:58

Of the boogeyman over there, you know, in Pittsburgh

19:01

as the offensive coordinator, So I was a little

19:03

scratching my head with his pick, but Florio's

19:05

right, they kind of hit on wide receivers,

19:07

so it does bring your attention. But I'm

19:10

honestly gonna go with Polk just with a

19:12

similar situation a little bit where they

19:14

need wide receivers, but I feel

19:16

as though he'll get a lot more opportunities

19:19

earlier because of the draft capital.

19:20

And also he's a reliable wide receiver.

19:23

I mean, he's one of those guys that had a ninety

19:25

three percent catch rate on catchable targets

19:27

last season, So he's a guy that you could rely

19:30

on, and I think Drake may will probably

19:32

lean on him more likely than some of the veterans

19:34

that are there, just based on him just

19:36

being so elusive, great route running, little

19:38

polish areas that he needs to work on, and sometimes

19:41

when he runs in the coverage. But Polk is

19:43

one of those playmakers that can make the play intermediate

19:45

the field in downfield. So I look at

19:47

him as one of the guys that's gonna be one

19:50

of my late round flyers, even in redraft.

19:52

So I'm leaning Wilson,

19:55

and it's mostly because I

19:57

have a little bit more faith

20:00

in Russ than I do in Drake

20:02

May at this point, like at this moment,

20:04

and I think that's what it is, you know, knowing Deontay

20:06

Johnson isn't there that right now? They need a

20:08

real compliment to George Pickens

20:11

in that passing game. I

20:13

think that is where Wilson sort of

20:15

is gonna shine, and I think he can be. He's a playmaker,

20:18

right He's the guy who can who can get

20:20

yards after the catch, he can break big plays for

20:22

you. He's not exactly the human highlight

20:24

reel that George Pickens can be. But

20:28

but I think that that consistency and sort

20:30

of that uh you know. I don't want to say move

20:32

the change because that makes it sound like he's boring. But

20:34

I think just a little bit more that steadiness, I think

20:37

is what gives Wilson a little bit more value to me.

20:39

Even Polk.

20:39

I think there's a lot of upside with Jalen Polk,

20:42

but I am I just need

20:44

to see something out of the Patriots offense before

20:46

I can just jump in on it.

20:48

Like I said, both can crash and burn real

20:51

you're.

20:51

Gonna be like both could really have upside

20:53

where you're like crash I was like, wow, you you went that way

20:55

with it, Like, yeah.

20:57

I'm still unsure of these two. Really. In my rankings

20:59

as well, they're.

21:00

Well and I think that's fair.

21:02

I mean, I think there's Yeah, it's

21:04

funny because we have the elite wide receivers,

21:06

right your Harrison neighbors Odoonsa's,

21:10

and then you got sort of the mid tier guys, right, you got

21:12

your your Brian Thomas's, your Xavier

21:14

Worthies, Lad mcconkey's, what have you. You

21:16

get further down though, and there are just a

21:18

lot of question marks. I think with

21:20

some of these guys, you know that

21:23

that it could go either way. Either it could turn out

21:25

to be pretty good or it could

21:27

be like hey, remember remember

21:30

Jalen Polk, Like it could be one of those things.

21:32

Remember Terras Marshall Jr.

21:34

Remember Terras Marshall Junior.

21:37

Yeah, all right, let's let's get over

21:39

the running backs though for Day two Florida.

21:42

Start with you favorite and least favorite running back

21:44

spots from day two?

21:46

Are we talking for the individual

21:49

prospect or as fantasy as

21:51

a whole?

21:53

Let's talk what what?

21:54

What? What did you put it together? As I guess

21:56

is the question because.

21:58

I loved Blake Korham going

22:00

to the Rams from his standpoint.

22:02

I hated it from for Kien

22:04

Williams standpoint because I guess

22:07

it's a fantasy show.

22:08

We should just talk about it from a

22:10

fantasy But I agree.

22:11

I agree because I think Korum

22:14

is going to be year one involved.

22:17

You read and his scouting report, you watch

22:19

him play, and you're like, this guy's kind of like Kyen

22:21

Williams, and uh, the

22:23

thing is what made Kien Williams

22:26

so elite last year Beside

22:28

like, yes, he's very talented, he's on a great offense,

22:30

all of that, but it was the fact that he

22:32

was getting CMC type volume and

22:34

no one else besides CMC was getting anywhere

22:37

close to that amount of snaps or touches per week.

22:40

Now they have someone that they can trust to

22:42

to kind of ease him some

22:44

workload off of his plate. But also,

22:47

Kyen Williams has a long

22:49

history of injuries, so if he

22:52

was to miss any time, Blake

22:54

Korum, I think, well, moon will

22:56

be in RB two. Who can moonlight as an RB

22:58

one those weeks? Like that's how so high

23:00

the upside I think is? And uh,

23:03

I know lq's guy is Trey Bentson.

23:05

I think his landing spot long term

23:07

is really good. Connor has never played

23:09

seventeen games and he's on the last year

23:12

of his contracts, So don't be like,

23:14

oh, these guys got stud running backs ahead of

23:16

them. Like, I think both of those two could

23:18

make a big fantasy impact in year

23:20

one if things break their way.

23:22

Yeah, no doubt. Who do you like, Lukwan.

23:24

I was I was gonna say Trey Bentson,

23:27

that's my guy, bro, because once the

23:29

Cardinals took him, I was like, oh,

23:32

yes, I mean James Connor is twenty nine years

23:34

old in four days, so happy birthday,

23:36

single time birthday, James. He has not

23:38

played a full NFL season and this is

23:40

the exact place that he needed to go to

23:42

get this RB one workload. And I really

23:45

think we're gonna see him sprinkle throughout

23:47

this season where James Connor the misstime,

23:49

which it's kind of been his trend

23:51

of missing some time. I don't know if Connor

23:53

gets this job back for turning back from

23:55

injury and then the trade Bentson show starts

23:58

this season.

23:59

Yeah, I guess make it unanimous because I am on the

24:01

Tray Benson train.

24:02

Look, I let's go.

24:04

There's also Jonathan Brooks in there, right, I mean

24:06

he walks into when he's when he's

24:08

healthy, he's the RB one

24:10

in Carolina. Once he's healthy and

24:12

he's ready to go, I'm not worried about Chewba

24:15

Hubbard. I'm definitely not worried about I

24:18

mean Miles Sanders. Miles Sanders got

24:20

pushed to the background by Chuba Hubbard.

24:23

Jonathan Brooks

24:25

money.

24:26

Yeah, man, there's truth.

24:27

Yeah, the direct deposits still

24:30

hits, Like I'm I'm gonna walk

24:32

away from that.

24:32

But you

24:34

know, Chuba Hubbard pushed Miles Sanders to the background.

24:37

Jonathan Brooks, when he's healthy and ready to go, is going

24:39

to do the same to Chewba Hubbard.

24:42

I sort of like in general that

24:45

the Panthers they understood what happened last

24:47

year, and so they spent a lot of this draft,

24:49

and they spent a lot of this offseason trying

24:52

to build something around Bryce Young.

24:54

Like they they looked around and they realized that

24:56

the cupboard was bear so

24:59

like it was good to see that.

25:00

So I like that.

25:01

Jonathan brook Laney spot for sure.

25:03

Oh Bryce Young?

25:05

Yeah, can

25:07

one of you guys make me feel better about Marshall Lloyd's

25:09

situation. Potentially,

25:14

that's not a good that's not a good reaction.

25:16

There is look, I know it

25:18

called it's like nine million dollars, but

25:20

there is an out on Josh

25:22

Jacob's contract after year one. So

25:25

if Josh Jacobs struggles like he did lash,

25:27

like I keep saying it, that won

25:30

two years ago, that tremendous year

25:32

we got out of Josh Jacobs, that is the

25:34

anomaly in his career so far.

25:35

So if Josh.

25:36

Jacobs has a year like those other

25:38

years he's had, or like last season,

25:41

maybe they think twice about it and they're like, you

25:43

know what, we got Marshaon Lloyd and we like him a

25:45

lot, and we'll move.

25:46

On, all right, all

25:48

right? That that that makes me feel slightly better about

25:50

it. And I look, I've seen multiple

25:53

people saying something similar, right, that

25:55

this is not necessarily a forever thing,

25:57

that if Josh Jacobs does not perform, that they

26:00

could move on. My

26:02

fear is that Jacobs is going to be good

26:05

enough to sort of keep Lloyd

26:09

as the number two guy for a while. There's just

26:11

not gonna be enough, right, that it's going to be

26:13

sort of similar to what we saw with Aaron Jones

26:15

all those years where we wanted Aaron Jones

26:17

to be the guy, and there's always somebody

26:19

it was, you know, it was Jamal

26:21

Williams for a while, that it was aj Dillon, and

26:25

that we're gonna get a similar situation where we've got Jacobs

26:27

and Lloyd's sort of working in tandem and both

26:29

guys are going to be kind of unsatisfying

26:32

for fantasy, but they'll be good enough for the

26:34

Packers to not want to move on

26:37

from any of them.

26:37

I think it's like a two year Maxwody, you know, I think,

26:40

you know, two years he'll sit behind Jacobs.

26:42

It's just that he's sitting behind

26:44

a workhorse that like one of the work horses that are

26:46

left in the NFL right now. I mean, since twenty

26:49

nineteen, him and Dereck Henry, there are only two running

26:51

backs to average twenty touches

26:53

per a game. Like this is just something that

26:55

Josh Jacobs has in his DNA to kind of

26:58

just take all the work and it's

27:00

probably going to look ugly this year and no real

27:02

fantasy impact. But I'm hopeful for the

27:04

future for Lloyd.

27:05

All right, I am too, But

27:07

you guys know how I feel, like, I know, I'm wearing cardinal

27:10

and gold colored glasses. So I needed, you

27:12

know, I needed help on this one. And I saw

27:14

the pick. I thought I was gonna text you. I was like, yo,

27:16

No, you guys jumped in slack immediately

27:18

You're like, yeah, your guy, and I'm like, yeah, trust me,

27:21

I know I'm watching it,

27:23

so like I know that I'm a little bit, you

27:25

know, biased in that regard. I really

27:28

wanted him to go, Like I thought the Chargers would

27:30

have been a great fit. I thought, you know, how boy,

27:32

the Cowboys, the Giants, just somewhere where

27:35

he could have gotten, you know,

27:37

a big workload where he would have been,

27:40

if not the guy, something close to the

27:42

guy, and that at least

27:44

at least any short term, that's not gonna

27:46

happen in Green Bay.

27:48

So so we'll see about that.

27:49

So I was gonna ask you guys, who has the better outlook between

27:52

Marshawn Lloyd, Blake, koram Or or Trey

27:54

Benson. I feel like we sort of talked

27:57

through that at this point, right that we

27:59

all like Trey Benson. I think

28:01

we all like Korum for

28:03

actual football purposes, fantasies.

28:06

So so are they both

28:08

ahead of Marshawn Lloyd right now?

28:09

For you?

28:11

Yes, Korum is my RB two in

28:13

Dynasty en re draft.

28:14

Wow.

28:16

Wow, just because if you're tied

28:18

to Sean McVay, I get excited.

28:20

Okay, I guess that's fair. I haven't

28:23

that high too. Actually, there

28:25

we go three.

28:26

So I put Lloyd ahead of Korum. But again,

28:29

this could be just me, you know, being

28:31

hashtag fight on forever, but

28:34

also sort of this belief that you know,

28:37

maybe this Josh Jacob's situation

28:39

isn't a long term one, so

28:42

I don't know, but that that again, this could be wish

28:44

casting for all I know.

28:45

I'm not dropping the past five because he's at

28:48

five right now for me for Lloyd, So.

28:50

He got there, all right, That sounds

28:52

good.

28:52

Take a break, we'll come back.

28:53

We'll talk about Day three, where it

28:55

was a running back heavy Day three

28:58

across the NFL Draft of what this means for fantasy,

29:00

plus we'll give you our top ten Dynasty

29:02

rankings at the end of the show. Stick

29:05

around for more of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast.

29:10

So Day three, rounds

29:12

four through seven of

29:14

the NFL Draft and the quick recap

29:17

of Day three. Five quarterbacks.

29:19

We had six quarterbacks on Day one. We

29:21

didn't get another quarterback until day three.

29:24

They just took the second day. They got to have Friday off,

29:26

So that's cool. Everybody likes getting a Friday off. Five

29:29

quarterbacks in day three, sixteen

29:31

running backs, twenty wide receivers, and

29:34

nine tight ends go off

29:36

the board in Day three. Let's

29:39

start with the running backs because it was much more of a

29:41

heavy running back draft. These

29:44

maybe not by the numbers, but at least in terms of the guys

29:46

that potentially are impact players that went

29:49

LaQuan your favorite and least favorite running

29:51

back spots on Day three, And look, I understand

29:53

like in some of these you kind of kind of squint

29:55

and you know, and squint and put

29:58

asterisks to make allowances when you're talking about f

30:00

or least fave.

30:01

Here, I like

30:03

Kamani Vedell going to the Chargers because

30:05

I think he honestly has opportunity

30:08

to even get sprinkled in this offense

30:10

this season.

30:11

But we already know JK is on

30:13

a one year deal.

30:14

I mean the injury history between

30:16

him and gush Head which is a little shaky, So at

30:18

any point one of these guys can drop, because

30:21

we saw it in Baltimore.

30:22

They dropped in the same season again.

30:24

So it's like one of these things where they're

30:26

gonna be running the ball and they're gonna be ground and

30:28

pound. And I don't know if these two guys ahead of him

30:30

actually have you know, the durability

30:32

to last seventeen games. So I

30:34

think we might see his explosiveness,

30:37

his usage in the pass game as well

30:39

as you know, a guy that can take it to the

30:41

house at any point. Like, I just love the

30:43

way this dude runs and how he contribute to the

30:45

passing game as well.

30:46

Man, they just say straight up just alsin

30:49

eckler By, like they just turn he

30:52

immediately gave away his bridgits.

30:55

I mean, it's just like man like y'all,

30:57

even you know, he's still probably

30:59

got some shoes in his locker that he didn't get out. Yeah,

31:01

man, like that was on that jersey,

31:03

man, that was that was that was a little harsh. Like that

31:05

kind of hurt my heart a little bit that they just gave that

31:08

number away for him so much. Yeah,

31:10

who do you like or who did Who's lastwick?

31:13

Did you like? Did you not like Florio?

31:15

So I agree with LQ on Videll. I

31:17

like Ray Davis to the Bills because

31:19

they need an RB two there, and I

31:22

think he's a bigger threat to

31:24

steal James Cook's work than people

31:26

want to like. James Cooker will be the RB one,

31:28

but Davis is a physical runner who could be

31:30

a goal line runner, who could also catch

31:32

passes. And then there's a Audrich

31:35

estimated from the the Broncos. I know they

31:37

have four running backs, but that's one that I'm gonna

31:39

keep an eye on. A couple others that

31:41

I know we're gonna touch on. My least favorite

31:44

was Braylen Allen. I thought Allen was a sleeper

31:47

in this class, a big body back. Now

31:49

he's going behind Breece Hall. And they drafted

31:51

other running backs too, so in these little Michael

31:54

Carter. So like, best case scenario

31:56

for him right now is UH is probably

31:58

unless barring injury like goal on

32:00

work and that's it.

32:01

So I did not like him falling there.

32:04

Yeah, I'm with you on Ray Davis. I liked

32:06

his spot going to Buffalo, and I'm with you. I think

32:08

you know, I think he does sort of cut into

32:11

James Cook's work more than

32:14

a lot of people would imagine. I also

32:16

like Tyrone Tracy going to the Giants

32:18

there.

32:19

Oh, I forgot that happened.

32:20

Actually, yeah, because I think I think he's

32:23

a guy that really didn't get talked about a lot

32:25

during the draft process. I heard his name's sort

32:27

of come up a few times at the end. And

32:30

the Giants need running back help, you

32:32

know, Floyda, You know how I feel about Devin Singletary.

32:34

I like him. He's a good player.

32:37

He's not gonna be the guy who's just like

32:39

the Hey, we're gonna lock down and he's going to be the

32:41

guy. There's room for somebody else to

32:43

get some opportunity in there, and I'm curious

32:45

to see if Tyrone Tracy can be that guy.

32:48

I'm also with you. Braylan Allen was

32:50

almost called him Braylean Edwards. Braylan Allen

32:53

was the spot that I

32:55

did not like, just because of what

32:57

is going to be in front of him there. So I I

33:00

don't see an easy path for him getting

33:02

a whole lot of opportunity. So I

33:05

just I'm sort of disappointed for him,

33:07

and I guess for fantasy for that to

33:09

happen. A couple

33:11

of interesting names Jalen Wright uh fast,

33:15

which means he goes to Miami because they

33:17

are continuing they are continuing

33:19

to assemble a track team down there in South

33:21

Florida. But Lakwan, can he break

33:24

through when Raheem Moster got

33:26

signed to an extension, dvon Ah Chan is still

33:28

there for now, Jeff Wilson

33:30

is still there. I could see right passing,

33:33

you know, passing Wilson on the depth chart, but but can

33:35

he do enough to make an actual breakthrough

33:39

in Miami?

33:41

Uh?

33:41

Yeah, I mean there's a lot of layers

33:43

to this man, Like it's an important year for Raheem

33:45

Moster for him to remain

33:47

productive.

33:48

I mean thirty two.

33:49

I mean, look that's up there in age and bumps

33:51

and bruises and stuff like that. And he also

33:53

missed it last two games of the season due to

33:55

injury with a knee and ankle, So he's

33:57

a little banged out walking into this season. Hopefully

34:00

offseason done him well. But even

34:02

with a chan, I mean he missed six games

34:04

and then left one game early. Like availability

34:06

is your best ability. So I think there

34:08

is a clear path for Jalen Right to

34:11

possibly get some usages this year

34:13

with some type of fantasy relevant weeks because

34:15

I think he's an explosive player, Like he's

34:17

one of those running backs man that you could put the ball in

34:19

his hand and he may be in the end zone by

34:21

the time you blink. So it's one of those things

34:23

where you know, if a Chan can't stay

34:25

healthy, he gets sprinkled in for some work. If

34:27

Raheem Moster is dropping down in production, it might

34:30

be to a Chan and right show there's a lot of different

34:32

variables with this to where I could see

34:34

him making an impact in Miami in year one

34:36

and possibly year two when they move on they

34:39

have an out for Raheem Moster so

34:41

Florida.

34:41

This feels though, sort of like last

34:44

year or the past couple of years in Miami

34:46

where we're looking at, you know, multiple running backs

34:48

and it's the you know, who do we really want? Is

34:50

it as simple as saying the

34:53

guy with the best ADP

34:56

is the guy that we want in that backfield?

34:59

No, because that'll be right, Like

35:01

I think right it'll be a late round dart throw

35:03

because I agree with what LQ said, like the

35:06

two ahead of him have both missed a lot of time

35:08

last year and if anything, and I think the Dolphins

35:10

know that, and I think the Dolphins were

35:12

watching their offense and they were like, were were

35:14

not the same when we had to get away from these

35:17

two running backs. We want to keep

35:19

that speed attack, so we'll have this

35:21

break in case of emergency back here that

35:23

will probably get some usage

35:26

at parts of the season, even if the other two guys

35:28

stay healthy. But you

35:30

know, if anything happens to them, okay, we could

35:32

slide this kid in. He's really fast. And

35:34

I agree with LQ for next year and beyond,

35:36

Like, I think they view the long term future

35:39

of being a Chan as the one

35:41

and right as like that that number two where

35:43

they almost split work and stuff like that. But

35:47

yeah, if I think you could

35:49

play that game, fine, Like I'll take

35:51

MOSTRT in the seventh, eighth round because that's where

35:53

he's going, and that feels very disrespectful

35:55

after the year that he just had. I

35:58

don't love a Chan as a round one pick,

36:00

and that's where he was going early. He's now going more

36:02

round two. But even that's it's

36:04

a big investment. But uh

36:07

yeah, so I'll take I'll play that

36:09

game with the top two and take the discount on

36:11

Mostert. But I don't think right, we'll

36:13

see enough volume to be a third in

36:15

that group.

36:17

Yeah, I mean that's sort of where I am too.

36:18

I mean, I think I think Jalen Wright he

36:21

needs an injury, I think mostly to get

36:23

a decent sized workload here. And you

36:26

know, obviously, with Moster's

36:28

history and you mentioned Lakwan, you

36:31

know, h En missing time last

36:33

year. With that history, that's certainly possible.

36:37

And I think, you know, maybe he ends up being a guy

36:39

that you draft late and you just wait and

36:41

see if something happened, so then you are ahead of

36:43

the crowd, you're ahead of the curve and not having

36:45

to worry about running to the waiver wire. But

36:47

I just think that it's a guy that you

36:50

know, if you draft him, just be prepared

36:52

to sort of sit on him for a

36:54

little bit before before anything happens.

36:58

Dylan Lobby goes to the

37:00

Raiders, And this is another guy that I sort of took

37:03

an interest in near the end of draft season,

37:05

just because I thought he had an interesting skill set.

37:07

Yes, they have some mere White.

37:08

They brought an Alexander Madison, which according

37:11

to you know, Fantasy Twitter, you

37:13

know, might as well have not happened

37:15

because they brought.

37:17

Alexander madisonverybody's like, yeah, he's a beer white.

37:19

You know, does that

37:21

give you any hope that lobby could

37:23

have an opportunity in that

37:25

offense?

37:26

Lookwan or am I just am I reaching

37:28

at straws right now?

37:29

Uh?

37:30

He can carve out our role as a third down back.

37:32

I mean he has great route running ability. I mean

37:34

the feat work is great. I mean he's able to line

37:36

up in the slot if you want him there. I mean he

37:38

could be a real pass threat to take off someone

37:40

that load of z a mere white. But I can see

37:43

him trying to, you know, carve something now, getting

37:45

opportunities back there this year, but not

37:47

for a full workload to be fantasy relevant

37:49

to go drafting them, you know, this summer. But he's

37:52

one of those guys you just add to the watch list,

37:54

just watch them and just have them close and then

37:56

you know, when you start hearing reports of injuries,

37:58

et cetera, etc. Alexander Madison,

38:01

obviously he'll get his one up and then

38:03

when it fails, then you already got him on your watch list

38:05

to go pick him up. Stay ready so you don't have to get ready.

38:09

I think he could be even better than that.

38:11

I think he can be their

38:13

past catching back, like

38:15

like LQ said, play the third down

38:17

the two minutes. That's not a role. That's

38:19

someone that like I want to start every week in

38:21

fantasy, but that's someone that like late round

38:23

Darthrow in Best Ball stuff like

38:25

that, because I mean,

38:28

Samir White has nineteen career targets.

38:30

This kid last year in college had sixty

38:32

eight catches and seven hundred receiving yards.

38:35

And you watch it, Blake, like OLQ

38:37

said, he looks like a slot receiver when

38:39

you see him. So I

38:42

think that he was brought into Vegas

38:44

specifically because they knew we

38:47

have a good RB one in Xemir White

38:50

and a solid backup in Alexander

38:52

Madison, but we don't have that change

38:54

of pace, third down pass catching specialist.

38:57

And I think he plays that role.

38:59

Yeah, I mean, I think that is his role there,

39:03

you know, But I'm curious and

39:05

I probably should look this up. I mean, how much are

39:07

we going to see Gardner Minshew use him

39:09

as an option, you know,

39:12

out of the backfield. That's the other kind of question there,

39:14

especially when you know you've got you got

39:16

Devontae Adams, you got Jakobe Myers. They have two

39:18

tight ends that they can throw the football to right

39:20

now at Brock Bauers and Michael Mayer.

39:23

Like you know, by the way I think we talked

39:25

about it on Thursday night, Like my heart hurts a little bit for

39:27

Michael Mayer because he's the guy that I liked coming

39:30

out of Notre Dame and I still think he could

39:32

be something. But he's

39:34

going to have to share now with brock Bauers. Like there's just

39:36

no way around that. The opportunity

39:39

to be the tight end in Las Vegas has now

39:41

gone for him, and that's,

39:44

yeah, that's tough. And so I think for Lobby that that's

39:46

also going to be kind of a sticking

39:48

point. If that is going to be his role as the pass catching

39:50

back. How much opportunity is going is

39:52

he going to get when there are you

39:55

know, at least three, possibly four bona fide

39:57

targets ahead of him in that offense

39:59

with a or back that you know.

40:02

Gardner can run when he has to.

40:04

He's not going to, you know, he's you're not gonna think

40:06

he's not gonna be Jayden Daniels or anything back there.

40:08

He's not gonna be Josh Allen. He's too small

40:10

to be Josh Allen.

40:11

But he's not gonna He can

40:13

run when he has to when and be effective at

40:15

times.

40:17

The wide receivers, twenty of them

40:19

go off the board.

40:20

There weren't I think as many necessarily impact

40:22

guys immediately. But

40:25

of the guys who did go Florida,

40:27

your favorite and least favorite landing spots.

40:31

From Day three, UH.

40:34

I like Javon Baker a lot. Javon

40:36

Baker going to the Patriots where

40:38

they have opportunities to UH.

40:41

They need multiple wide receivers to step

40:43

up here, and Baker to me

40:46

was a I don't think he'll ever be an ex but

40:48

he can be an out wide out wide

40:50

field stretcher who

40:52

who helps create a lot of

40:54

stuff for his other teammates. A lot of what he did

40:56

in college was run clear out routes. But I also

40:59

think he could be a really option at

41:01

times from the slot. Senior Bowls

41:03

stand out with someone that I highlighted as

41:05

a Day three sleeper even before

41:07

the draft, and he

41:10

his quotes, Man, he has wide receiver one quotes.

41:12

I don't know if you saw. He said he makes people

41:14

in wheelchairs stand up. So

41:16

I'm excited to

41:18

see him play their least

41:21

favorite there. There was like,

41:23

I, okay, I'll give you one more that I

41:25

like. I like devontees Walker going a whole lot

41:28

to Baltimore. I don't think he's a redraft

41:30

guy because I think he'll be inconsistent, but

41:32

late round, like last pick in your best balls,

41:35

take a shot on him because he's field stretching

41:37

abilities for days, and he just seems

41:39

like the type of weapon that Lamar Jackson will get the most

41:41

out of.

41:42

Yeah, it's funny because I had sort of when I was talking to

41:44

Harmon On on the Yahoo podcast, I think I wish

41:46

cast Detroit Franklin to UH

41:48

to Baltimore if I have it right, just

41:50

just to get another receiver there. Like they've done

41:53

well, have

41:55

they?

41:56

I don't know. They got.

41:59

Zay fly hours obviously seems to be working out Rashad

42:01

Bateman. Yeah, I think the jury's sort

42:04

of still out on that, but they do need somebody that

42:06

can sort of help in that regard.

42:08

Who did you like? Who did you not like?

42:10

Look on my rams.

42:12

Man getting Jordan Whittington Man

42:14

a slot wide receiver that gave high praise

42:16

to Cooper Cup and you know I love slot

42:18

wide receivers in mcveigh's offense.

42:20

I think that he can learn from Cooper Cup. That's

42:22

like a great, you know, backup plan if Cup

42:25

was to face injury. Again, he's a great guy

42:27

that knows how to get open and be serviceable,

42:30

just be ready for the ball. And like, I feel

42:32

like that was such a great underrated move by

42:34

us in the draft.

42:35

That's not getting talked about enough. Of

42:38

course you're going to talk about the Rams guy.

42:40

Why wouldn't you.

42:42

I'm I'm with Florida. I like Javon Baker a

42:44

lot.

42:44

I think that's a good situation there because again,

42:47

they they had maybe the worst wide receiver

42:49

room in the league last year. And so even

42:51

if he is still a little bit

42:53

of a project, he's gonna get

42:55

the opportunity to play because they they need

42:58

bodies out there, any guys who can be playings,

43:00

and so there's that opportunity for him there. Didn't

43:02

love Anthony Gold going

43:05

to Indianapolis.

43:08

Look, they've you know, they've already got Michael Pittman

43:10

junr. They drafted A d Mitchell earlier

43:12

in this draft. They have guys at

43:14

Josh Downs. They still have a lot of guys

43:17

there and so I think he's just going to be blocked

43:20

certainly in the in the short term. So

43:22

that was a tough one I think for me

43:25

to see Gold going to Indianapolis.

43:27

Speaking of Troy Franklin, a simple

43:30

question lakwon yay or nay on Troy

43:32

Franklin with with the

43:34

Denver Broncos.

43:35

Uh yeay, it could be a good situation

43:38

for him where he could see Vyum. I mean, it's

43:40

always talks in the fantasy streets of a

43:42

trade of Courtland Sutton, they're getting rid of them

43:45

and all this other stuff. But even if you know Gorton

43:47

Sutton is there, I think you can't

43:49

discount or knock the

43:52

prior chemistry he has with bo Nicks, because

43:54

I think bo Nicks is going to be the Week one starter.

43:56

So just being that you already have that plug

43:59

and play can street there with bow Knicks

44:01

and Troy Franklin. I think it will just

44:03

be a lot of like automatic like security

44:06

blankets. Like I know Troy Flanklin's route

44:08

pattern, I know how he likes it. Those little

44:10

things, little details won't matter for

44:12

a young quarterback like Bo Knicks that's still

44:14

getting no NFL polished. So I

44:16

say yay. I'll take a shot on I'll

44:19

take a shot on when Dynasty. You know, hopefully

44:21

it all works out, but this offense

44:23

was like terrible to watch

44:25

last season, so hopefully it can change around.

44:27

This all right, So your thoughts floyo,

44:30

yay or nay on Troy Franklin.

44:32

I agree, I'm in. I was all

44:34

ready to just write him off and be like, the NFL

44:36

has told us what they feel about him. And for

44:39

every Aman Russain Brown that breaks out in the fourth

44:41

round, there's hundreds who do not. But he

44:43

went to the one landing spot that I would change

44:46

my tune about. Because the Broncos

44:48

are in cap hell again next year. They

44:50

need a lot of wide receiver help this

44:53

year, so there's going to be year one opportunity.

44:56

Then you tie in that his quarterback

44:58

is Bo Nicks, who they went to college together,

45:01

and I think with a

45:03

receiver needy team, bow Nicks

45:06

is gonna be like, hey, I have chemistry with this guy. I

45:08

trust this guy like we've we've been to war together.

45:10

So I think he'll get

45:13

opportunities in the first two years

45:15

as if he was drafted higher than

45:17

he was.

45:19

So I'm gonna go nah, on

45:21

on Troy Franklin there.

45:23

I'm yes, I think the bow Knicks thing is

45:25

certainly worth uh you

45:27

know, worth noting they have that chemistry,

45:29

certainly, but you

45:32

know, like you mentioned, the the offense was

45:34

not great last year.

45:36

It was not really fun to watch.

45:37

And what what really is just sticking

45:40

with me is the fact that Franklin fell as

45:42

far as he did. The fact

45:44

that, you know, there was talk that he could be

45:46

a first round pick and

45:49

suddenly he falls all the way to day

45:51

three. You

45:53

know, I don't know what it is, what it was, but something

45:55

about that just sort of rubs me

45:58

the wrong way. The fact that all three of the Washington

46:00

receivers went right, I mean, O Dune say, is

46:02

not a surprise, but that you know, Polk and McMillan

46:05

also both went ahead of Troy Franklin.

46:07

I don't know. Something about that just sort of stays with

46:10

me.

46:10

And this isn't this isn't a draft capital thing

46:12

as much as it's a what did

46:14

everybody else see or not see

46:17

from Troy Franklin that let him

46:19

fall that far. That's

46:22

the part that that makes me a little

46:24

bit concerned about.

46:25

What did he do? What were the secrets,

46:28

right, was he?

46:28

He wasn't the worst gauntlet drill I've ever

46:31

seen?

46:31

Was he in a Netflix documentary when he

46:33

was in high school?

46:34

Too?

46:34

Like what happened there?

46:36

Like, I don't, I don't know yet, and that that

46:38

worries me a little bit. Also the same thing about

46:40

Malik Washington though lakwanumy

46:42

he's down there in Miami, yay or nay

46:44

on on mak Washington.

46:47

Maybe in the future, I like it, but not

46:49

many wide receiver threes exist for fantasy

46:52

on a Dolphins offense. When you have Waddle,

46:54

when you have Tyreek Hill, I mean, and you have the

46:56

running game that you have, it's such a powerhouse.

46:59

So I think he will be a

47:01

great addition for the offense in the future.

47:03

I just feel as though it doesn't really move

47:05

the needle for me for fantasy to go out

47:07

there and draft them or even Dynasty,

47:10

Like I kind of lost a little interest once

47:12

he went there and it was just like, ah,

47:14

all right, cool.

47:17

Are you feeling the same way, Florio,

47:20

Yeah, Malik Washington was a

47:22

wide receiver prospect that I thought

47:25

was a sleeper and you could just check my timeline

47:27

all Saturday.

47:29

I was just like all right, the bills are up and he's somehow

47:31

still there, and they just kept

47:33

passing on him, and the NFL kept passing on

47:35

him, and two hundred picks went by and he was

47:38

still on the board. So there's some

47:40

juice here because he's in Miami. If

47:42

anything was to happen to Hill or

47:45

or Waddle, we could see him maybe get some burn.

47:47

But yeah, being a six round pick buried on the depth

47:49

chart, that that's probably

47:51

the kiss of death for him.

47:52

See, I'm trying to believe.

47:54

I'm trying to I think there's something there,

47:57

and I think the skill set is there. He's

48:00

you've got a coach that can scheme up something for him

48:02

in Mike McDaniel. I think that's that's a

48:04

positive there. The question is, you know, can

48:06

Tua get something out of three guys?

48:09

I'm maybe I'm being foolish and maybe I'm swinging

48:12

for the fences here, but I still think there's something

48:14

there with Melik Washington potentially in this

48:16

offense. I don't know, but they

48:19

they have redundancies at so

48:21

many positions.

48:22

Right.

48:22

We just talked about the running back room, and

48:25

now they're stockpiling receivers as well, like

48:27

I get it, like injuries happen, guys,

48:29

just you know, you want that flexibility in

48:31

terms of play calling and scheme and that sort of

48:33

thing. So there are a lot of redundancies in the

48:35

Miami offense. But I have my fingers

48:38

in my toes and my eyes kind of crossed that

48:40

that something can work out with Malik

48:42

Washington this year.

48:43

If he beats out Braxon Burials for the top

48:46

slot option, which is what his role is

48:48

at the NFL level, then I

48:50

will completely change my team because I still believe

48:52

in him as a prospect.

48:54

All right, all right, that makes me

48:56

feel better coming around

48:58

to my side a little bit there.

49:00

Anyway.

49:01

That's our look at days two and three of

49:03

the draft is like a break come back. We'll give you our

49:05

top ten dynasty rankings.

49:08

That's coming up next on the NFL Fantasy Football

49:10

Podcast.

49:14

All right, So we.

49:14

Talked about the next two days

49:17

of the draft, where a lot of the prospects

49:19

have gone, how we feel about them. Now it's time for

49:21

us to sort of put our money where

49:23

our mouths are and talk about some of our

49:25

dynasty rankings. You're going

49:28

forward, of course, they're out in a lot of places. You can

49:30

find them for a lot of different people. These

49:32

are hours, so Florio, you can

49:34

start. You do the honors, your top ten dynasty

49:37

rankings. Let's just say one quarterback leagues.

49:39

I know it's probably different for superflex and two qbs,

49:41

or did you do two qbs?

49:43

I was gonna say I teachers petted

49:45

it because I wasn't sure which way we were gonna go.

49:47

So I did.

49:47

I did one of each. So I'll just run through

49:50

both of them real quick. Sure, one one QB Marvin

49:53

Harrison, Roma, Duneesay, Molik,

49:55

Neighbors. Then I get into the quarterbacks with Caleb

49:58

and Jaden, then back to receivers with

50:00

Xavier Worthy, key On, Coleman, Lad

50:02

McConkie, then Brooks, then Brian Thomas

50:04

Junior. Uh super flex, I

50:06

still think Marvin Harrison Junior should be one,

50:09

unless you desperately need a quarterback. Then

50:11

I go Caleb, Jayden, Roma, Doonsay,

50:13

Melik, Neighbors, JJ McCarthy, Drake May

50:16

and then Worthy, Coleman, mconkie,

50:18

Brooks, Bonix.

50:19

All right, Uh, okay, what

50:21

do you got?

50:22

Wowser? So I got one quarterback league.

50:24

I went Marvin Harrison, got

50:27

Caleb Williams Jayden Daniels, Roman

50:29

Doonsay, and then Malik Neighbors at five,

50:31

and then JJ McCarthy, Drake

50:33

May, Exavier Worthy, Lad McConkie,

50:36

Trey Benson, and Brian Thompson

50:38

Jr.

50:39

All right, all right, so mine

50:41

are Marvin Harrison at one, followed

50:44

by Romeo Doonsay, Caleb Williams

50:46

Is at three. I put my league Neighbors

50:49

at four just because I don't know if I trust Daniel

50:51

Doones.

50:54

Jade. I'm gonna just I'm gonna hammer.

50:55

You're gonna be sick of me

50:57

saying this by September.

50:59

Trust me.

51:02

There was a four, Jayden Daniels at five, Xavier

51:04

Worthy at six, I go, Lad McConkie at seven,

51:07

uh Brock Bauers at eight, Brian Thomas Junior

51:09

at nine, Jonathan Brooks slides in at

51:11

number ten for me. Yeah,

51:15

I don't know anybody else that that we missed talking

51:17

about that You guys just really, you.

51:18

Know, want to want to discuss at this.

51:20

Point, I think we

51:22

talked about some of the main guys. We

51:25

can save it for later for tomorrow.

51:27

All right, sounds good, which is a perfect

51:29

segue into the fact that tomorrow we're

51:31

back with you with another edition

51:33

of the cheat sheet. We can talk about,

51:36

you know, maybe some guys that we missed, some of their

51:38

goings on that happened. There were other things

51:40

that happened in terms of you know, league and

51:42

player movement that didn't

51:44

necessarily involve the draft. We could talk about that, and

51:46

maybe we'll talk about Jamar Chase's grill too,

51:49

because yes, man,

51:51

that's amazing. That's it. That's a piece

51:53

of work there. You know that probably costs

51:55

like two houses, but it costs

51:58

costs more than my life. I'm pretty sure that the case

52:00

there, So I was talking about that. Of course, we'll

52:02

be back with you streaming live on the

52:04

YouTube's I believe noon Pacific

52:07

time, three Eastern tomorrow,

52:09

so come check that because you're still

52:11

pathing. You're pathing after the draft now

52:14

right, Yeah, we're path after the

52:16

draft now, yeah, because we've already we've gotten to

52:18

the drafts so now it's path after the draft. So
