0:45

to mention amazing content because in the weeks ahead,

0:48

we're gonna be doing mock drafts, evaluations

0:50

of rankings now that these rookies have landed

0:52

in certain spots on certain teams. So

0:55

we are now whether you like it or

0:57

not. And I think if you're listening, chances

0:59

are you li like we are in the fantasy football

1:01

season, folks. So before we get

1:04

to all that content that's waiting ahead

1:06

of us in the weeks and months to come, let's

1:08

take a step back. Let's take a breath and

1:10

get you caught up on the best of

1:12

Night two, Round two and three.

1:15

There's some running backs and wide receivers we got to

1:17

cover, and a whole lot more. So we're

1:19

gonna get after it right now with our incredible

1:22

crew at Fantasy Pros. All

1:24

right, I got a curveball for you here, potentially

1:26

another wide receiver that you mentioned before.

1:29

What about Keon Coleman as potentially

1:32

a guy who could land here? What would that look like.

1:34

For certainly a possibility and a

1:36

guy that would be a good fit with Josh Allen. The

1:38

thing that Keon Coleman will not do for

1:41

you is separate from cornerbacks.

1:44

He's not very fast. He ran the four to six to

1:46

one and last year PFF

1:48

separation percentile. Keon

1:51

Coleman not a typo and I'm

1:53

not going to make a mistake here, it was the zero

1:55

percentile. But what is he awesome

1:58

at it's downfield ball skills.

2:00

He uh like you you know

2:03

the stuff I just said. You're like, oh, you know, people

2:05

that have never seen him before at home, you're probably like, oh,

2:07

that guy must be a bum athlete. No, no,

2:09

no, he started out his career at Michigan

2:11

State because he was a dual sport

2:13

guy who was on the Michigan State basketball

2:16

team playing for Tom Izzo. The guy

2:18

can leap out of the gym and he's got

2:20

the ball skals. He got vice grip hands

2:23

as well. And you see the leap out

2:25

of the gym thing. It's not just going up to get

2:27

the ball. You will see him hurtle

2:29

defenders in the open field. You try

2:31

to go out and take out key on Coleman's knees. Get

2:33

ready, he's gonna do the pogo stick

2:36

thing that he does and then he'll just keep trucking up

2:38

field. So he he's like, uh.

2:40

The t Higgins thing would be an example

2:43

of a round two receiver that has a skill set

2:45

like this that obviously popped Courtland

2:47

Sutton would be one, but then there's also

2:49

it could go the other way. The bus Uh,

2:53

Mike Mayer are our boss and buddy who's listening

2:55

out there already knows the name I'm going to go to

2:58

here. J. J. Rosiga Whiteside would be an

3:00

example the other way, but that kind of a

3:02

guy goes him round two every year.

3:04

All right. Keon Coleman is

3:06

the selection from Florida State wide

3:09

receiver six three, two thirteen.

3:11

He is the first pick for nine two, round

3:14

two of the NFL Draft. So let's

3:16

talk about him. Andrew Erickson

3:18

give us the fantasy breakdown here in your evaluation

3:20

of Keon Coleman, who is now Buffalo Bill,

3:23

I.

3:23

Really like the spot.

3:24

I mean, Thor just kind of hit on how

3:26

he can be effective in this offense. Look, he's

3:28

going to a relatively weak wide receiver depth

3:30

chart, and he mentioned or Thor mentioned how

3:33

we saw Kean Coleman start at

3:35

Flores or excuse me, at Michigan State. You

3:37

know who also was on that team, Jayden Reed,

3:39

a guy that we saw in the NFL ball

3:41

out as a rookie, Kean Coleman outproduced

3:44

him at a younger age. Like that matters

3:46

to me that when he was faced with other NFL

3:49

talent, he was putting up numbers

3:51

and producing in that offense. And even

3:53

at Florida State a bunch of other talented players

3:55

in that offense as well. So I like Kank

3:57

Coleman. I you know, looking

4:00

at the forty yard dash time, it was not

4:02

great, But then you also look at how

4:04

did he do in some of the in the drills, like the gauntlet

4:06

drill. Oh, he's going up for twenty miles per hour in the gauntlet

4:08

drill. Teams are considering that more than

4:10

just looking at the hand time, the lazier time

4:13

of the forty yard dash, because we have this technology, Like

4:15

how fast is Keyon Coleman?

4:16

He actually plays? Oh what do you know?

4:18

He's pretty fast and he's also catching the football.

4:20

So I think this is a great spot for Kean Coleman.

4:22

I'm excited for him. And you know, you

4:24

look at guys like Pearsaw, you look at guys like Legette.

4:27

You know they were taken in the first round quote unquote,

4:30

I mean Keon Coleman got taken two picks

4:32

later. So do not fall for the

4:34

oh, well, he was a second round pick, Like he

4:36

went thirty thirty right like right after these

4:38

other two guys. So if you had King Coleman ranked

4:40

ahead, I had him ranked ahead of both Lagett

4:42

and pearsall pre draft like he's

4:44

gonna be ranked post draft even though he went in the second

4:47

round.

4:47

So Coleman joins Dawson Knox, Dalton Kinkaid,

4:50

James Cook along with Josh Allen.

4:52

So I'm gonna ask the same question I asked before Andrew

4:55

we were speculating about Lad macconkie. Now that's

4:57

key on Coleman. And you're looking at the Fantasy

4:59

Pro numbers here Mike Williams

5:01

at wide receiver forty six above

5:04

or below Mike Williams.

5:06

You got to stop giving me the Mike Williams ones. I'm

5:08

not taking Williams. I know

5:10

what they say, neither am I.

5:12

But again, that's exactly the point I think I'm

5:14

trying to make here, which is I feel like a

5:16

lot of people will look at that and they'll say, oh, Mike

5:18

Williams, he's playing with Aaron Rodgers. But

5:21

again he's playing on that turf. He's always hurt.

5:23

To me. That's where you start looking and saying, do I want

5:25

to take a chance on Mike Williams or an

5:28

aging Tyler Lockett at forty five

5:30

or Jamison Williams at forty seven or

5:32

do I start taking shots at rookies. I think right

5:35

around fifty is where we're talking about, because after

5:37

that it's the Jacoby Myers, Josh Downs, Romeo

5:39

Dobbs grouping. I think I think the answer

5:42

is yes on those guys. So when you push up, I don't

5:44

know if I want to take them over Tyler Lockett, but over Mike

5:46

Williams. I think that to me is that dividing

5:49

line where I feel comfortable. Maybe

5:51

if he has a good training camp, looks good in the preseason,

5:53

things are going in the right direction, the buzz is

5:55

good, and maybe I would take that leap of faith.

5:58

Do you think you might as well? Would? Yeah?

6:00

For sure. You know Micha Williams.

6:01

He's the same age as me, so he's washed at

6:03

this point, like he's going to be thirty years old very

6:05

very soon. So can't can't draft

6:08

Mike Williams. I'll take you on, Coleman. Look, this is a

6:10

really talented wide receiver class. And when

6:13

you get the receiver that breaks out

6:15

in the second half of the season at a wide

6:17

receiver forty wide receiver fifty price tag, like,

6:19

that's what a league winner looks like. So

6:22

yeah, you might draft a receiver two that doesn't

6:24

end up hitting, but if you draft enough of them, you

6:27

only need one or two to hit, and then you're gonna be in the

6:29

green.

6:29

So I really sorry to interrupt, guys.

6:32

So we have a trade right now.

6:34

Right here. Yeah, the

6:36

Patriots are trading pick number thirty

6:38

four and one thirty seven to the Chargers.

6:41

Uh, thirty seven and one twelve. So

6:43

the Chargers have moved up and

6:45

it looks like the pick is in for them. So

6:47

thord you want to speculate here on what that trade might

6:50

be looking at. Maybe the guy

6:52

that didn't just go Potentially.

6:54

I think the guy that we were banging the drum

6:56

for to get take and take and take, and I think he might

6:58

be walking, well maybe not walk into the podium,

7:00

but he's about to hear his name called lab McConkie

7:03

right here. And Jim Harby,

7:06

you know, people were like, oh, take the receiver at five, take

7:08

the receiver at five, which we had some fun with

7:10

because it's like, if you think Jim harbaught taking off

7:12

wide receiver over Joe Alt, you haven't

7:14

paid attention to his career or he didn't listen

7:16

to his comments at the owner's meetings. But

7:19

but Lad mcconky is a receiver that

7:22

is at least within the ilk of the thing that Jim

7:24

Harbot typically looks for. An efficiency

7:26

monster. You're talking about moving

7:28

the chains, moving the chains, a

7:31

decimated receiving corps. With the Chargers,

7:33

Lab McConkie is going to help out a ton with

7:35

that. And if the Chargers the offensive

7:38

constitution of it looks on the early downs

7:40

like it did with the Chargers, you're gonna see, I'm

7:43

sorry, with the Michigan Wolverines, you're going to see

7:45

more of the running on the on the early downs.

7:47

But when they go back to pass, you have to be able

7:49

to complete those passes. Obviously they were

7:51

last year on Michigan. Lab McConkie

7:54

gets separation at a ludicrous ray last

7:56

year. I think it was ninety seven percentile

7:58

on the field and over three yards per rolet

8:01

run. He had less of the box score

8:03

stats because he was hurt last year right

8:05

from out of training camp. He played well

8:07

hurt that cost him two games at the end

8:09

of the season. But we see that this

8:12

guy, he rolls out of bed getting separation, it's

8:14

just what he does. And a guy who can play on the

8:16

boundary as well. Last point I wanted

8:18

to make on him, don't sleep on that. There's

8:20

people that just want to think that he is a slot

8:22

receiver for reasons that I

8:25

won't get into. But he played eighty percent of his

8:27

snaps on the boundary at Georgia

8:29

on those dominant Georgia teams that won two

8:31

national championships in three years. Last

8:33

year they only lost one game. Lad, McConkie's

8:36

going to go in right away and probably

8:38

be the wide receiver one on the

8:41

charters next year and get a bunch of volume.

8:43

So that's a guy for fantasy owners

8:46

to keep their eye on very closely.

8:48

You had a top of him, Jordan

8:50

Addison, Yeah, walk me through

8:52

that. Why Jordan Addison.

8:54

Jordan Addison a guy in the NFL right now

8:56

of course playing in a twelve personnel offense for

8:58

Kevin O'Connell with the Vikings. A guy

9:00

who could play slot. We saw that in college

9:02

and interchangeably play on the outside.

9:04

McConkie when he's in the slot is great. We

9:07

saw that at Georgia, but in their twelve

9:09

personal offense when he was you know, on eighty

9:11

percent on the boundary, there destroys

9:14

people there. I was mentioning all the separation. McConkie

9:17

also has the jets to get downtown

9:19

at four three nine. But the thing

9:21

that that reminds me of Addison it is

9:23

that ability to separate, the efficiency

9:26

in the routes, the ability to win at

9:28

all three levels, the reliability

9:30

of the hands, and the silky smoothness

9:32

of the movement. It's not just the

9:35

athleticism and the understanding of how

9:37

to run routes. It's they almost

9:39

have this movement style. It's like a jet ski,

9:42

you know, like it's like gliding. It's not

9:44

like running. It's like, you know, it's like just

9:46

like this gliding sort of movement. And so

9:48

it's just like difficult for the defensive backs,

9:51

you know, because they could throttle up,

9:53

throttle down, you know, and it's just more

9:55

difficult for the defensive backs to get a beat on.

9:58

Okay, so let's bring in a

10:01

guest here to get his take on it.

10:04

Joining us right now from the Volume Network is

10:06

one of the best draft guys out there.

10:09

Middlkoff John, thanks for joining

10:11

us here on the program. I know you're turned us

10:14

on some other podcasts earlier in

10:16

the year, I'm sure you are running

10:18

on empty like all of us. But what

10:20

do you make of this Atlanta Falcons draft? Did

10:22

they make up enough ground here despite

10:25

the fact that the order might have been a

10:27

little exotic. Did they do what they

10:29

needed to do here in your opinion?

10:31

Well, I got to push back on

10:34

can you guys hear me? We all get this on

10:37

the Lions last year? Because I think we

10:39

were comparing those and I'm a big like anyone

10:41

that follows the draft value where you can get

10:44

players. Last year's draft was pretty

10:46

bad, right. There weren't as many high

10:48

end first round players. Now, if you want a crush for

10:51

not taking Jalen Carter, understandable,

10:53

but from a character standpoint, you could argue they

10:55

weren't really built.

10:56

To do it.

10:57

The running back they got really as much more

10:59

in the mold of Alvin Kamara Christian McCaffrey

11:02

that you know, a dual threat catching the guy and as

11:04

we saw as the season played on, I mean,

11:06

he's a dynamic player. It also

11:08

gave them ability to get their second round

11:10

pick, which got him Laporta. So I love

11:13

their draft even at the time, and I'm an anti

11:15

running back high guy, but the

11:17

modern day running back is much more of a hybrid.

11:20

He's essentially a slot receiver as well. To

11:22

me, the Falcons, it's

11:25

it's insane because and

11:28

I'm a Michael Pennix guy, but

11:31

part of team building. It's pretty

11:33

clear right that they

11:35

would have been better off giving the one hundred

11:37

million that they gave Kirk Cousins if they knew what they

11:40

knew today, which they had to have a pretty good idea because

11:42

of the eighth overall pick, I would have got it

11:44

if they traded up to get him or whatever. It was a big

11:46

picture. They had the eighth overall pick, and

11:48

this was a guy, even through

11:50

his season, was viewed as probably you

11:52

know, by a lot of people in the NFL,

11:54

as like a late first round guy. So you're

11:57

gonna have a very good chance to get him. They give

11:59

a one hundred million dollars to Kirk Cousins, what

12:01

if they just would have given Sam Dardinell or Gardner

12:03

Minshew ten million, signed Wilkins

12:06

with eighty five million dollars and taking this

12:08

guy. This is not a project. To

12:11

me, if you get Drake may or JJ McCarthy

12:14

understanding, let him be around Cousins, who's

12:16

a little sensitive and clearly is not happy because

12:18

his agent came out right away and you

12:20

can get Michael Pennix. Is

12:22

not some sit on the bench guy for two years. I

12:25

mean, I'm not saying who knows if he's going to

12:27

be good or not? No one ever knows that. But he's a plug

12:29

and play quarterback. He's been starting for seventeen

12:31

years in college. He's ready to go. So

12:33

to me, it's a waste of the allocated resources

12:36

because the most powerful thing the

12:38

Vikings are going to get this, The Broncos

12:40

are going to get this all the teams at draft the corps is

12:43

the contract right because you then can

12:45

sign fifty eighty million dollar

12:47

players when they're available. They're giving that

12:49

to another quarterback. And that's the one position

12:51

really in sports beside the kicker. You know, in

12:53

basketball, you rote Tate guys. In defensive line,

12:55

you rote Tate guys. In baseball, you can switch

12:58

guy quarterback. One guy plays. So

13:00

to me, it's a waste of resources, even

13:02

if you're like totally understand doubling

13:05

down on the quarterback and the Aaron Rodgers

13:08

cop with Jordan Love is stupid because Jordan

13:10

Love a lot like even way worse

13:12

than JJ McCarthy or Drake may major,

13:15

major project, right,

13:17

So, and that was at the end of the first round.

13:19

The other thing is Michael Pennix has the eighth overall

13:22

pick. Unlike getting a guy in the late twenties

13:24

is pretty expensive, so he's

13:26

immediately one of the highest paid backups

13:28

in the NFL. And I don't always agree

13:30

with Chris Simms, but he had a pretty good point during

13:33

OTA's It's not like Kirk

13:35

Cousins is going to be out there. Well, who's going to be taking

13:38

the reps? Pennix? What

13:40

is? What is the Atlanta Falcons

13:42

full of young impressionable players. They're gonna

13:44

be like damn And the one

13:46

thing Belichick you can crush him on certain

13:49

things, was always a lead at Locker

13:51

Room Dynamics. It's already weird.

13:54

And you know, I.

13:55

See people like trade Cousins. He's got a no trade

13:57

clause. They're giving him sixty two

13:59

million dollars a actual cash in

14:01

like a six month period, and we know

14:03

the way these cap work, you kind of

14:06

mess with the cap, but they are pretty obligated

14:08

on the dead cap for a couple of years

14:10

to keep him around. So It's just

14:14

it felt like a fly by the seat of your pants

14:16

move when you would have known probably

14:18

early on in the process January,

14:20

early February. Definitely the combine like, we're

14:22

gonna have a pretty good chance to draft this guy. Why

14:25

not? Okay, Sam Darnold's getting ten million dollar

14:27

off of for Bikings, why not getting fourteen million

14:29

dollars one year? Right? You could have manipulated

14:31

a little bit, and maybe they got pressure

14:34

from the owner. But let's face it, that interaction

14:36

last night was pretty bizarre.

14:38

The Patriots are gonna blow up another draft. This

14:40

is just like a few years ago,

14:42

Andrew Rickson, that you and I sat on this very

14:44

show. We were waiting

14:47

for a selection for a wide receiver and we got

14:49

Taekwon Thornton instead. Now we're going

14:51

to get the wide receiver nineteen on

14:54

Thor's board, Jalen Polk

14:57

from Washington one twenty

14:59

two's or evaluation overall, pick

15:01

number thirty seven, Boys and girls.

15:03

It is gonna have Lad McConkie, and you trade

15:06

down three spots and.

15:07

Take you know, we could have lad McConkie.

15:09

You don't have to say it out loud over and over again,

15:11

but I know, Andrew Rickson, you're

15:13

gonna say it over and over again for a

15:16

very long time, ericson your

15:19

thoughts and feelings about this election here.

15:21

All right, So stay stick with the positives.

15:23

First, it is a wide receiver, so that's good number

15:26

one drafting on.

15:27

We are setting the bar very low here this season.

15:29

Yeah, I mean, look, he's my thirteenth

15:32

ranked receiver overall, so there are plenty of guys

15:34

I would have ranked and taken over him here.

15:37

The two things to point out, though, he fits

15:39

systematically to what they already had, Like he

15:41

can be an X They needed an X receiver.

15:43

They don't need more sought receivers, so I

15:46

think that he can fill into that type of role. And

15:50

he one of the Washington coaches that was

15:52

with Polk last year as part of that offense now

15:54

works for the Patriots. So I'm

15:58

assuming that that coach probably had some influence

16:00

on this particular pick here, and

16:03

that's why I went with it.

16:04

I like John John the stage

16:07

here too, because John, I.

16:08

Don't think you can play on the boundary I have

16:10

to say before you go over. I think

16:13

is it slot only? And I don't think they'll

16:16

get.

16:16

To your take too or we'll get to your takes. Also,

16:18

I want to get John in here. You're here all

16:21

night. John's in and out here. He's a busy man.

16:23

So John, give

16:25

me your take on this election here. If

16:28

you're talking about taking guys potentially out

16:30

of order, this has got to be like Christmas

16:33

morning for you.

16:34

Here. Maybe he was a top ten

16:36

guy on Jonathan Craft's board, because

16:38

we know Jonathan Kraft now is the pseudo GM

16:41

of the Patriots. So yeah,

16:43

I listen, I've shorted the Patriots

16:45

organization hard, just

16:47

moving forward for the foreseeable future. I

16:50

like Drake May. I just think it's a situation that

16:52

is going to be very, very difficult. I

16:54

mean, a coach who's been coaching for under

16:57

five years. You know, this guy

16:59

rolls up the ranks fast, and

17:01

the negativity surrounding that organization

17:03

with a quarterback. Here's the thing.

17:06

When you draft a guy like Drake May and

17:08

your team's bad, No one's gonna want to watch

17:10

seventeen games of Jacoby Brissett.

17:13

So he's gonna get thrown in way sooner

17:15

than he should and it could be really,

17:17

really difficult. Now I'm a PAC twelve

17:19

guy. I think Polk's a solid player. But I'm

17:21

with you. Elliott Wolf born and

17:23

raised in the Green Bay system, where they're

17:25

typically a little more hype weight, speed, and

17:28

right when I looked up, you know, it's not like he's

17:30

some blazer. He ran like a low four to

17:33

five. He's not to be six hundred

17:35

pounds. But yeah, I mean, I

17:37

listen, I'm just I'm out on the Patriots.

17:40

There's not many players that they could have taken that would

17:42

have made me feel really good, unless somehow they got Caleb

17:44

Williams. And I'm a like,

17:46

you know, for twenty years, I'm a President of State

17:49

guy. We had a lot of guys on that team.

17:51

Player. I've rooted for the Patriots, Belichick

17:53

guy. But I think it's gonna

17:56

be a rough couple of years. I think it's gonna

17:58

be really, really ugly. And this is a hard

18:00

situation for these

18:02

developmental quarterbacks to

18:04

get thrown into. I mean, look at Thors, guy

18:06

gets to just ease in

18:09

in Minnesota, right saying even

18:11

Bo Nicks, his head coach, might be a

18:13

little crazy, but is also the

18:15

play call and has a ton of experience,

18:18

right, I mean, you look at Brock Purdy having Kyle

18:20

whoever plays for Sean. It's such an

18:22

easier landing spot. You have this

18:24

head coach, there's a defensive guy, young guy, a

18:27

lot of moving parts. He's not he has

18:29

nothing to do with the offense. So they're

18:31

they're really tied to Van pell too. Probably

18:34

got a raw deal Deshaun wanted him out or whatever.

18:37

But because I'm not even a pretty good job with Joe

18:39

Flacco. But but still, I think it's gonna

18:41

be their personnel, their personnel.

18:42

Sting John.

18:44

The question I guess is this, and this

18:46

is something that you know. I think Patriot fans have been frustrated

18:49

with the last few years of the belischek Razema. Now

18:51

it seems to be carrying over. We thought it might be different

18:53

this year. They didn't trade back. They took the third

18:56

pick, which was Drake may at the quarterback. So so

18:58

far, so good. But here we're in another situation

19:00

where you could have had this guy at

19:03

was it sixty eight that they pick again? Right, theoretically

19:05

you probably you might have been able to wait and get

19:08

him there if you liked him and taken something else

19:10

here, isn't that the point here where

19:12

the teams in the NFL, like the Philadelphia

19:14

Eagles and the Baltimore Ravens who continue

19:17

to crush life every single year in these

19:19

drafts, who don't necessarily have high picks.

19:21

Every year they do the same thing, which is they take

19:24

the talent on the board where it's appropriate, and

19:26

then they still stash those guys that they like, those prospects

19:28

that they think are going to pop, and they get them

19:30

too. Why can't other teams

19:33

follow along this same suit, and why is it teams

19:35

like the Patriots specifically, they continue

19:37

to think they are smarter than everybody else in the room.

19:40

Well, I think a.

19:42

Lot of teams that I don't. You know, Jonathan

19:44

Graft clearly has his hands all over this. Their

19:46

coaches get really involved. And the

19:48

one thing coaches do not care at all about

19:51

is value. I want this player, and I want him

19:53

now. I want this player and I want him

19:55

now.

19:56

And I think.

19:57

When that happens, I think that's

19:59

where you see a lot of these picks. You know, once you get

20:01

past the third round, who cares, right,

20:04

But in the top like you said, top seventy five

20:06

picks, getting a guy, drafting

20:09

a guy at forty five when you could have had him at

20:11

seventy is pretty devastating when

20:13

you could have had two players instead of one with

20:15

that same guy. And I think the

20:18

coaches have a very very strong arm.

20:20

It's one thing with the quarterback. Honestly,

20:22

I thought with the Patriots, and people might have thought I was

20:24

nuts. I thought they and I understand

20:27

the owner wouldn't want to do this kind of

20:29

punted on this year, trade back,

20:31

accumulate a ton of picks and just draft sweet

20:34

players. But who's to say if they

20:36

had made the Drake Maytrey. Let's say with the Giants

20:38

gone from three to six, added some second or third round

20:40

picks or whatever, that they would have not just

20:42

taken these players anyway, So it might have been a moot

20:44

point, right.

20:46

More picks doesn't make you better with some organizations.

20:48

Just ask the Anthers. Just

20:50

ask the Panthers how that works. And that's what a general

20:53

manager is for the discipline to say, hey,

20:55

coach, yeah you love that guy, don't worry,

20:57

we have a plan for that. Thoor. You've been so patient,

20:59

which I know it's not your mo, so let's

21:01

know your take on Pulk there. I

21:03

just want to make sure, see this is the thing thor

21:05

doesn't have a lot of people up to his cabin in the woods.

21:08

I'm much more of an Italian host. I like

21:10

to have everybody over for big Sunday dinner.

21:13

So you got to give the other people, some new folks

21:15

some time to chat here. So give us

21:17

we have the Titan selection coming up in just a

21:19

moment here thor give us your take on Polk

21:21

here? What went wrong?

21:23

Yeah, with two Patriots homers

21:26

in here. Let me give you the hospitality

21:28

that I show in Minnesota. What a reach,

21:30

What an egregious reach by the New England

21:32

Patriots. Jalen Polk

21:34

is a mirage that was created by

21:37

Jalen McMillan September injury last

21:39

year. It very much like Jalen

21:41

Hyatt the year before when Cedric Tillman went

21:44

down in September. Let me give you guys some

21:46

stats in the twenty games the last

21:48

two years where Jalen McMillan and Jalen

21:50

Polk were on the same field together, healthy

21:53

and active and played the entire game

21:55

together. Jalen McMillan one hundred and twenty

21:57

four catches for sixteen hundred and fifty seven

21:59

yards, fourteen touchdowns. Jalen

22:01

Polk sixty eight catches, twelve hundred

22:04

and ten yards, nine touchdowns. Every

22:06

time Jalen McMillan was healthy, playing the

22:08

whole game, he was Washington's second

22:11

option behind Rome mcdoon's day, Jalen

22:13

Polk was the clear wide receiver three

22:15

and distant wide receiver three. When

22:18

McMillan comes back the end of last season

22:20

in November from the injury that he struggled

22:22

with, you know throughout the fall last season. This

22:24

was during the heart of that college football playoff

22:27

run that Washington had. Of course they end up playing

22:29

reaching the College Football National Championship

22:31

against Michigan. What do you think

22:33

happened with Jalen Polk? Then he went back

22:35

on the milk carton where he was before. There

22:38

was two of the games in the last five or

22:41

six where Polk plays the entire

22:43

game. He's healthy, of course plays a full

22:45

game. He had zero catches in

22:47

two of those games, again the heart

22:50

of the college football playoff, you know, during

22:53

that whole thing in this awesome

22:55

passing offense where Michael Pennicks Terry

22:57

Fontinos boy threw for five thousand

22:59

yards last year and Polk at zero

23:01

catchers in two of those games. I don't

23:04

know what you're doing there and the projection

23:06

going forward. I think he's a

23:08

slot. He did play on the outside

23:10

there in that offense. I

23:12

think he has to play slot at

23:14

the next level. The explosion

23:16

in this feed stuff like that, that is not his forte.

23:19

The thing that he leads with. He

23:22

has awesome hands. I will give him that, but

23:24

I think he has to be a slot at the next

23:26

level. It's just an efficiency thing.

23:29

If I'm putting someone in the slot, I want someone

23:31

that can stretch the field that is not Jalen

23:33

Polk. I think that's an egregious

23:35

use of an early second round pick, particularly

23:38

in this receiving class where you had

23:41

still on the board. You had Troy Franklin,

23:43

Roman Wilson, Javon Baker, aDNA

23:46

Mitchell. I would have taken

23:48

Jalen McMillan above him his teammate. Who's

23:50

going to go two rounds later? For

23:53

me a mistake, especially lad McConkie

23:55

was available and you traded down three slots and

23:57

then take Pulk. I don't know what they're doing

24:00

here.

24:01

The Panthers have picked up for a running

24:03

back, Johnian Hooks the

24:05

first part back. Oh,

24:08

so the Texas boy with

24:10

the ACL that's feeling for let's

24:13

go through this one. So he has got

24:15

a good vision. He is an elusive player. He

24:18

is six foot and changed

24:20

to sixteen running backs

24:22

from Texas certainly a storied

24:25

history. So what is it we should

24:27

be excited about with Jonathan Brooks? Or to Carolina

24:29

put the car before the horse yet again here and

24:32

take somebody off potential a little too soon?

24:34

Uh yeah, and don't go back to the safe I might

24:36

take the tickets I bought on RB one just

24:39

a little bit ago.

24:40

I don't know what you're talking about.

24:42

Never happened. That's a good host right

24:44

there. If I'm if

24:46

I'm Carolina, I don't. I don't think that this

24:49

is the position I'm I'm hitting right

24:52

here. I realized

24:54

that their running back room is not good,

24:57

but I think I would have waited

24:59

around. If you're the Panthers, why are

25:01

you leading the dance on this? They're

25:04

obviously one of the teams that likes Jonathan

25:06

Brooks mentioned before, and Joe just did in

25:08

this setup of him coming off the knee injury.

25:11

But I brought up the context before the

25:14

entirety of Jonathan Brooks's evaluation

25:16

comes off at ten games. He did

25:18

look good in those ten games, but we did not get the

25:20

athletic testing profile on him before

25:23

that. Earlier in his career stuck behind

25:25

Bijon and Rochean. I like

25:27

the agility and the make you mix with

25:29

him. He has good contact balance as well

25:32

the acceleration, but

25:34

lacks the long speed in the passing

25:36

game. Not quite as good with him. I

25:39

like Trey Benson Moore. That's a more dynamic

25:41

back to me that we have seen more tackle breaking

25:44

utility with and has proven it

25:46

for longer and you can do more stuff with him in the passing

25:48

game. Also a better pass blocker. So for

25:51

me, I wouldn't you know, especially

25:53

here at forty six leading

25:55

the dance, I think I would have let it come to me a

25:57

little bit more if you're a talent bref the

26:00

Carolina Panthers.

26:02

Panthers are gonna Panther after

26:04

all, Derek Brown, if

26:06

Brooks did not have injury concerns,

26:09

would that change your mind here about him as

26:11

a prospect.

26:12

I feel like it's still early to

26:15

select him, but I also will

26:17

say the Carolina I

26:19

tweeted this out a few like I think about

26:21

two weeks Ago. I said the Carolina Panthers

26:23

are the sneaky spot.

26:24

For a running back to land.

26:26

And because people look at their depth

26:28

chart and they say, but you got schuber Hubbard

26:30

there, but you got Miles Sanders there. That

26:33

doesn't matter at all. Chuba Hubbard

26:35

is an unrestricted free agent after this year. Miles

26:37

Sanders can be cut next year and

26:39

they could save They'll be only be on the hook

26:42

for two point nine million in dead

26:44

cap. So what do

26:46

we know about canelis his multiple

26:48

stops last year in Tampa. Bay

26:51

leaned on Roushad White. He wants

26:53

a guy that they can run their entire

26:56

rushing offense through, and I'm not telling

26:58

you Brooks is that guy out of the gate. But

27:00

also Thor talked about his prospect

27:02

profile. We need to also mention the

27:04

fact that in six of the ten full games he played

27:06

at Texas he had at least twenty carries, so

27:09

in the small sample, the ability

27:11

to handle volume. Now, I know he did eventually

27:14

get hurt and things like that, so you can make the case

27:16

of, well, did he really prove that he can handle

27:18

volume, but he did have

27:20

the volume in the games where he was healthy.

27:23

Carolina has been one of these teams that I was

27:25

like, Okay, I really think they're going to go running back

27:27

in this draft, because this coaching

27:29

staff is not beholden to anybody

27:32

on that depth chart.

27:33

None of those guys in that room, even the

27:35

GM.

27:36

Gave the contract to Miles Sanders, none of them

27:38

drafted Chuba Hubbard. So while

27:41

Jonathan Brooks might be slow off the blocks

27:43

from coming off the injury, I think

27:45

once he's up to speed and he's one hundred percent

27:48

good or not, and we can debate the pick,

27:50

I think he is going to be the.

27:51

Bell cow in Carolina for

27:54

sure. Right I can

27:56

tell you this, Derek, I

27:58

think Brooks is a guy that I will be rafting and redraft

28:00

leagues, and I'll tell you why because you

28:03

know my evaluation of the running back position lately,

28:05

which is there's like a handful of guys that I like and

28:07

after that forget it. And it's not zero

28:10

RB. It's just I'm not taking guys

28:12

at the cost where there's still valuable

28:14

wide receiver, tight end or quarterback

28:16

talent on the board. So Brooks, to me

28:19

is one of these perfect guys that you could throw some darts

28:21

on late if things are going well with

28:23

health reports and things like that, at some point

28:25

you do think is going to get an opportunity because

28:28

with the rookie running backs, I'm looking at the last

28:30

six weeks of the season, not the first six. I'll find

28:32

some guys early on injuries

28:34

happen, I'll find guys off the waiver wire. I

28:37

could see myself looking at Brooks, especially

28:39

since you know they were so aggressive with him

28:41

here that that tells me they

28:44

are going to find a spot for him sooner

28:46

than later to get some opportunities again, as long as

28:48

the health is trending in the right direction. So to

28:50

your point, Joey, from the standpoint, I

28:53

could see myself having a fair amount of shares

28:55

of in redraft. Go ahead, Yeah, I agree

28:57

with you.

28:58

And to your point, we also

29:00

need to talk about the landing spot

29:02

that has been discussed and discussed and discussed

29:04

and discussed about Jonathan Brooks, because

29:07

whether you want to talk about the coaching staff, what do you want to

29:09

talk about the medical team and stuff like that. The Dallas

29:11

Cowboys, Dallas Cowboys are sitting at fifty

29:13

six in this round, so this could

29:15

easily be Carolina got on the phones

29:18

and said could be trade back, or they're just

29:20

worried that Dallas was maybe going to pull

29:22

a Jerry Jones type of move and

29:24

move up for Jonathan Brooks, so they felt like they probably

29:27

had to take him.

29:27

Here, the Colts are back on the clock

29:30

here and the pick is in.

29:32

They are going to take a wide receiver and it

29:35

is ad Mitchell at fifty two. That'll

29:37

put the Commanders now theoretically on the clock

29:39

barring another trade this evening.

29:41

So let's go back to Russell Brown. Then we'll

29:43

get Thor's take on this. Russell the

29:46

Inuneapolis Colts take a wide receiver

29:48

that Thor has let's just say

29:51

taking a few shots at this evening

29:54

on Friday night. But let's hear a

29:56

different, perhaps point of view when

29:58

it comes to Mitchell, the wide receiver, who has

30:00

fallen a lot farther than some

30:02

people might have thought he would. What's your take on

30:05

the Colts getting Mitchell here at fifty

30:08

two.

30:08

Yeah, I'll be the other I'll be on the other side

30:11

of the coin here where Thor is

30:13

always upset about a d

30:15

Mitchell. I'll think a little bit differently here

30:17

he was my twenty second rank player.

30:19

I thought, you know, there was some first round value

30:21

with him. He did earn a second round grade for me,

30:24

and I ultimately thought he was going to go somewhere

30:26

in the second round to night, just because of

30:28

some of the character stuff that we had heard. And really,

30:31

you look at his tape, there's just those lapses

30:33

where there's no production,

30:36

no route running happening. The guy doesn't

30:38

look like he's interested in being on the field. But

30:40

when you look at him when he's on the field

30:42

and doing what he's supposed to be doing. At six foot two, two hundred

30:45

and five pounds running a four three four forty

30:47

with a thirty nine and a half inch vertical, there's so much

30:49

to be desired there. And it feels like whenever

30:52

you watch Georgia or Texas in

30:54

those big games, in a big moment they needed

30:56

a big catch, they turned to a d Mitchell.

30:58

So the hope here is that he goes to the Colts

31:01

and he's one of those guys that can find

31:03

some type of role with Josh Downs,

31:06

Alec Pearce, you know, Anthony

31:08

Richardson, Michael Pittman, those guys.

31:10

I think it's a good fit. Just

31:13

if he can keep his head on straight. He can certainly

31:15

be one of the better receivers from this draft

31:17

class.

31:17

But from a fantasy standpoint, Russell, you have

31:20

Anthony Richardson's gonna run the football. You also

31:22

have obviously Jonathan

31:24

Taylor there, you have a number one wide

31:26

receiver they franchise in Michael Pittman. What's

31:29

left here for Mitchell besides the occasional

31:32

home run? Does that hurt his dynasty

31:34

stock for you? Or you think this is a player that

31:37

over time and perhaps over

31:39

the evolution of Anthony Richardson, we

31:41

might get the best out of Mitchell.

31:44

I think it really depends on when you're going

31:47

to draft him, right like in your dynasty leagues.

31:49

I wouldn't say take him in

31:51

the first round or anything like that, but

31:54

depending on where you get him, there

31:56

could be some value there. I

31:58

think at the end of the day, he can and certainly

32:00

carve out that number two wide receiver role

32:02

because I know there is quite a few mouths to feed

32:05

there. But I think there's still

32:07

some things left to be seen with

32:10

Josh Downs, Alec Pierce and

32:12

those guys being a little bit more consistent in

32:15

the NFL, where if ad Mitchell, if

32:17

again, if he keeps his head on straight. He could

32:19

easily be a you know, fifty five

32:21

to sixty five catch guy in this

32:23

offense. So I'm very intrigued

32:25

with this pick. I think it's a good pick, especially considering

32:28

where they got him compared to you know, on my board.

32:30

So I think it's a good fit, and I think it's

32:32

a good pick.

32:34

Ericson, let's get some fantasy perspective here on

32:36

Ady Mitchell here in this selection. So

32:38

I'm going to give you another home run hitting kind of wide receiver.

32:41

It's sixty overall. Rashid Shaheed right

32:43

now is on the board. Would you take

32:45

Shahed or would you take Mitchell?

32:47

In redraft leagues, I'm going to

32:50

take Shaheed. I mean, the guy's

32:52

already done. Like the thing with Ady

32:54

Mitchell and and Russell hit On this

32:56

is he's going to have big games like he's done that, Like

32:59

he's had games in big spots where he's

33:01

put up major production, and

33:03

he'll probably have moments of that in the NFL, especially

33:05

in an offense like with Anthony Richards said, with

33:07

Shane Stike and dialing it up.

33:09

But will the consistency be there?

33:11

I know I commed him to DJ Shark, I know that's

33:13

what Thors is to DJ Shark, and

33:16

what had DJ Shark done in his entire NFL

33:18

career except for that one year is just like splash

33:20

weeks like here and there, Oh, Djhark caught a bomb

33:22

like touchdown the Great and then the next week

33:25

he doesn't do anything like That's kind

33:27

of what I think the ad Mitchell treatment is going to

33:29

be this year.

33:31

Next year.

33:32

I just don't think we're ever going to see necessary the consistency

33:34

from him, especially with Anthony Richardson. So

33:36

we didn't see a lot of passing from him last year, So

33:39

how good is that gonna be? I think it's great for the Colts, think

33:41

that he's an upgrade over I think the Alc

33:43

Pearce experiment has kind of run its course.

33:46

I think they're ready to kind of move off of al Pearce and

33:48

get a better player in that spot,

33:51

someone that can stretch the field. But for me,

33:53

I think this is a major with Michael Pittman. I

33:55

was really high on Pittman. I think this means he's going to continue

33:57

to see like really high target share in this offense,

34:00

or Mitchell's kind of opened things up for him underneath

34:02

just continue to be fed targets from

34:04

Anthony Richardson. So I think real life fit, it makes a

34:06

lot of sense. I know that the cults

34:08

were interested in Xavier Worthy, so they get to

34:10

wig another round. They get the other Texas receiver

34:13

again, another one guy that has speed that he can

34:15

offer. So I think it's a really good life cause,

34:17

a real life fit that fits well. But Mitchell,

34:20

I think he's gonna leave you wanting more again. It

34:22

kind of reminds you also two of Cadarius

34:24

Tony a little bit. Where Canarius

34:26

Tony had that one game against Dallas where

34:29

he just went nuclear and then

34:31

you could just sell him for anything, like if

34:33

you drave Ady Mitchell, keep that in mind. After

34:35

he has that massive game, maybe want

34:38

to just put him on the trade block.

34:39

All right, what about Josh Downs now on this offense?

34:41

Where does this leave him? This selection?

34:44

I think that it leads him in a good

34:46

position to

34:48

see more volume because I think that's kind of how

34:50

he wins. You know, he is the primary

34:52

solot receiver in this offense. So Mitchell's more of the splash

34:55

by guy where I think the Downs thing is more

34:57

about just how much passing volume is going to

34:59

be in the offense, like how much throwing

35:01

issuing s. I'm going to allow Anthony Richardson to

35:04

think that's how Josh Down succeeds. And

35:06

it's unfortunate for him because Michael Pittman

35:08

is also kind of like another possession receiver in that offense.

35:11

So if he's always playing second fiddle to Pittman,

35:14

I'm not sure, necessarily sure how much production

35:16

downs can really hit in this offense.

35:19

All right, the commanders make a selection

35:21

here. They select a tight end, Ben

35:23

Sinnat at fifty three. The Browns

35:26

are now on the clock the commanders.

35:29

Dare I say it, Russell? I think I might

35:31

agree with you. You're putting

35:33

it in our little chat here, and it

35:35

seems like the Commanders are having a

35:37

good draft. Is that safe to say? Because it

35:39

feels weird when I say it out loud.

35:41

Yeah, I mean, it does feel like they're

35:44

having a good draft right now. I mean to get Ben

35:46

Sinnat here, he was somewhat

35:48

expected to be the second tight end. There was some love

35:50

for Theo Johnson as well, but you

35:52

know they have Jaden Daniels there

35:55

and they're trying to build around him and getting

35:57

pass catchers and getting people that can

36:00

go in and make plays. That's

36:02

what it's all about, right, like building around

36:04

your quarterback. And I think when you look

36:06

at Ben Sonnat, I'm late to the party

36:09

on Ben Snat, but he was one of those guys

36:11

that I was like, man, this guy's a San Francisco forty

36:13

nine or all day long. He's going to

36:15

go right into that role, play h back,

36:18

run after the catch. And this is just

36:20

one of those where I think it's it's

36:22

just a great fit. And I

36:24

love what they've done up to this point.

36:27

If I'm a Commander's fan and you look at an NFC

36:30

East that is very winnable

36:32

with the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants

36:34

and the Philadelphia Eagles, you add

36:37

Mike sanderstill, Johnny Newton, Jaden

36:39

Daniels, now Ben Sonnat, I

36:41

think this is a this is a great pick. And this

36:43

is one of those things where they're putting some pieces

36:46

around dan Quinn to be very successful as a head

36:48

coach.

36:48

Yeah, they are, and dan Quinn I think is I

36:51

think dan Quinn is a good football coach.

36:53

Yeah, he has had you know, I think everybody

36:55

is better the second time around. As a head coach Bill

36:57

Belichick was for goodness sake, most of them are

37:00

they get that second shot at things. So I

37:02

think it's gonna be fun for Dan Quinn here and

37:05

yes and not from Kansas State. That is the selection.

37:07

Andrew tight ends in this class.

37:09

That's brock Bowers and everybody else by

37:11

a wide margin. But we're

37:13

looking long term and projectability. Do you think Sana

37:16

is somebody that is going to be eventually

37:18

a fantasy asset?

37:20

Well, he's in one of the better landing spots

37:22

for a tight end. They have zach Ertz.

37:25

How old is zach Ertz now? Like one hundred

37:27

and forty seven exactly, So Bensonatt,

37:29

I think has a chance to at least like again,

37:31

we're gonna Cliff Kingsbury loves arts. He played

37:33

arts over Trey McBride famously with the Arizona

37:36

Cardinals. So may take a couple of weeks,

37:38

but eventually Ben s Knatt should take over

37:40

as the tight end one in the Commander's offense,

37:42

and attached to Jade Daniels, look

37:45

sinnat super athletic, very

37:47

productive. I get Rock Bauers is the

37:49

crown jewel of the tight end class, but when you

37:51

look at the second most productive tight end overall,

37:54

it was bensonatt in this class, so

37:56

he has a lot of there's

37:59

a lot to like out him. So in getting

38:01

second round draft capital is great for a tight end.

38:03

You know, this is similar to where we saw Mayor and

38:05

La Portogo at the top of the second round. So

38:09

yeah, this is a the Commanders

38:11

like new management.

38:13

What do you know?

38:14

Hey, that's you thought

38:16

with new management with the Patriots things would go better,

38:19

but they have not. You

38:21

know what, Door's taking

38:23

a little break here. So we can ask Russell

38:25

this question, Russell, what

38:27

the hell happened with the Patriots at the top of this

38:29

draft here in the second round? What the hell is

38:31

going on? Any insight with Polk

38:34

that you could share that might make Ericson and myself

38:36

sleep better tonight.

38:37

Yeah, Look, I don't know why

38:39

there's so much hate with Jalen Polk. I mean,

38:42

I'm gonna be honest, because I don't

38:44

hate Polk.

38:44

I just hate the fact that they took him ahead of other

38:47

guys like Lad mcconkee could have been

38:49

there. That's my problem.

38:50

I understand, and I get that, But

38:53

at the same time, it's like the board fell

38:55

the way it did, whether they traded out of that

38:57

spot or not. It's

38:59

you know, when you look at when they traded back and

39:01

then you've got a receiver

39:04

staring you in the face, like, I don't know what other

39:06

receiver they would have taken that would

39:08

have made anybody happier. Is it Roman

39:10

Wilson? Is it somebody else? Like if

39:12

you have a preference, cool, But

39:14

it's clear that the Patriots have a

39:17

preference for a type of receiver that they're looking

39:19

for. And I think Polk's a pretty versatile

39:21

player that can align inside

39:23

outside. He was that motion man in that offense

39:26

at times. So he's going to force rotations

39:28

in the secondary, which is going to free up you

39:30

know, Juju Smith, Schuster, the Mario

39:32

Douglas. It's going to free up a couple of different

39:34

players in that offense. And

39:37

I like what he does on fifty to fifty balls.

39:39

He high points the football, he makes the proper

39:41

adjustments. He's he's physically

39:43

he can wish stand physicality at the at

39:45

the catch point, something that I think Troy

39:48

Franklin might struggle with at the next level.

39:50

You know. So I like Jalen pol because as

39:52

a number two, number three receiver. I don't think you're

39:55

drafting them to be your true number

39:57

one receiver, And I don't know if

39:59

they need to have a number one receiver right

40:01

at this very moment, because let's be honest,

40:03

I mean they picked third overall wide

40:05

receiver. Was pretty top heady, top

40:08

heavy with the first three wide receivers,

40:11

and then you kind of start to see

40:13

a little bit of a drop off. Not saying Lad McConkie

40:15

and Keon Coleman and those guys won't be good, but

40:17

I do feel like we do this every year with wide

40:19

receivers, not saying specifically you guys, just we

40:21

as fans and draft people. You look

40:24

back at twenty twenty one, you look at that wide receiver class.

40:26

If you go to the middle rounds, there were a lot of guys

40:28

that I was pounding the table for that aren't even in the

40:30

league anymore. So we kind of do

40:32

this to ourselves. I think Jalen Polk's all fine

40:34

fit for New England, and if Drake May is

40:37

anything that we think he's going to be as a quarterback,

40:39

it shouldn't matter what the receiver is.

40:41

What do you think Drake May is going to be

40:43

because that's a fun take too. I'd love to hear your thoughts

40:45

on Drake May and also your

40:48

thoughts on the other quarterbacks that went

40:50

not in one and two overall, Well,

40:54

I'll keep.

40:54

My thoughts on Michael Pennix for maybe

40:56

a little bit later.

40:57

But from the after dark

40:59

version of the show exactly.

41:01

We'll get back to Pac twelve after doc talking

41:03

about Michael Pennix. But yeah,

41:05

you know Drake May, he's so intriguing

41:08

natural arm talent, can

41:10

throw from different arm angles. I think he's got

41:12

to work on, definitely the lower body mechanics. His

41:14

footwork is so sporadic. There were a lot of times

41:16

where he would try to drive a throw

41:19

and he would pick up his front foot and

41:21

it was just more like a baseball motion. And

41:23

then there's times where he's not resetting his feet

41:26

and then he kind of drifts in and out of the pocket,

41:28

and I think that'll work at times,

41:30

but it will also get him in trouble. My biggest

41:33

concern with him was he would leave the

41:35

pocket prematurely. There were times

41:37

that no routes were developing downfield,

41:39

and it was not a designed quarterback draw

41:41

or quarterback run. He just simply hit

41:44

panic mode. But I think when

41:46

you look at the pro comparisons

41:48

of like Justin Herbert meeting Josh

41:50

Allen, that's the type of player he can be.

41:53

They've got to build this thing around him. They're clearly

41:55

trying to do that with the addition of Jalen Polk. I would

41:57

love to see them get themselves select

42:00

tackle. I don't like the thought of Connor McDermott

42:02

in that office offense, as you're starting left

42:04

tackle right now, but I

42:06

think the future is bright if they continue to piece

42:08

things around him.

42:10

Well, the Jets have started the third round,

42:12

and they've started it with a wide receiver Malachi

42:15

Corley at sixty five full

42:18

running back. I had to

42:20

scroll on

42:22

on your board there to find him one forty

42:25

five. So clearly there is

42:27

a sickness in the AFC

42:29

East and it's catching the Patriots

42:32

at it. And now they've sneezed and they've given

42:34

it to the Jets.

42:35

Yeah, I you know the way that I

42:38

just disagree with. I knew that Malachi Corley

42:40

was going to go around here. That's where everyone else ranks some my

42:43

take on Malachi Corley thoughways He's not a wide

42:45

receiver. He reminds me

42:47

so much of Amari Rogers, a guy

42:49

who his process I argued with everyone

42:52

about and happen to be right about that one.

42:54

We'll find out if I am about Malachi Corley

42:56

as well. But it's the same thing of a

42:58

guy who is a run back playing slot

43:01

receiver that doesn't run routes. Like

43:03

all of the production for Melcha,

43:06

Malokai Corley is the boonicks of wide receiver

43:08

prospects, all of he

43:10

does on a T shirt, which

43:14

he has a lot of catches, but all

43:16

they are. It's the dumb boss behind

43:18

the line of scrimmage. This all

43:20

that screen passes in the Western

43:22

Kentucky air raid offense that

43:25

Clay Helton runs there the running

43:28

game, the function of that. It's the slot

43:31

receiver that Malachai Corley plays, where

43:33

you just immediately throw him the ball and then you

43:35

have the couple receivers in front that are blocking for

43:37

him. The thing that he is good at is breaking

43:39

tackles. He's very good at that. And you

43:41

see that the piling up with the broken tackles,

43:44

but they all come off the spoon fed touches

43:46

to him behind the line of scrimmage. You don't

43:48

see Malachai Corley running routes.

43:51

Ever, he just doesn't do

43:53

it all of his you know, again the receptions

43:55

with that a couple of times, you know

43:57

he won down the or not really one

43:59

down the field when he went down the field.

44:01

The twenty plus yard receptions, I need

44:04

to pull up how many he had. It was very

44:06

very few. But on the few that he did

44:08

that, the go route said he did, he'd just run

44:10

as fast as he could down the field and

44:12

then he'd just do like an in you know, unconvincing,

44:15

like headdeek and then like if the ball

44:17

happened, you know, he you know, if they

44:19

threw it to him and he was opened down there might catch

44:21

the bar or whatever. But so little of his

44:24

utility was there. It was all that dump

44:26

it off to him short and then break the tackles.

44:28

He was a running back earlier in his career, at

44:31

shifted to that position after going to WKU

44:33

as a cornerback. I don't see a wide

44:35

receiver in Malachai Corley. It's not

44:38

something that typically translates to the NFL

44:40

at that position. People called him the Deebaut

44:42

Samuel of this class. That is apocryphal.

44:44

He is nothing like Deebo Samuel. Deebo Samuel

44:46

is a wide receiver. Malachai Corley is

44:49

not, at least not yet. They will be let

44:51

They will be setting him up to fail if

44:53

they try to send him out with a full route tree next

44:55

year, he won't be able to do it.

44:57

I'm gonna have to look up that word. In the meantime,

44:59

an action running back goes off the board.

45:02

The Arizona Cardinals select trade

45:04

Benson from Florida State. So

45:06

you're right there. It is very

45:08

exciting here the Cardinals.

45:10

We said it yesterday thor It feels

45:12

like maybe a shift in the

45:15

earth a little bit for this organization where

45:17

they've got their quarterback, they've committed, they

45:20

had a really good night one. They took a generational

45:22

talent at wide receiver. Now you've got

45:24

a running back to go with him. Again, this running back class

45:27

a little bit on that lower scale. But there's

45:29

no denying that Trey Benson was a productive

45:31

player. There's no denying that he's got the skills sets

45:33

there. So what's your take on not only

45:36

Benson but also now more importantly his

45:38

landing spot and than ericson. I want to get

45:40

your take on him and break that down because now

45:42

it's Murray, Connor Benson, Marvin

45:44

Harrison, Trey McBride. That looks like

45:46

an offense to me.

45:47

Thor Yeah, this guy is going to be the

45:49

bell call in year one for the Cardinals.

45:51

This is the dude right here. He

45:54

started his career at Oregon, had a devastating

45:56

injury right away towards a CLMC

45:58

alateral meniscus a medio meniscuez

46:01

hamstring as a freshman. It's

46:03

a reason why he didn't play as a sophomore and then

46:05

led to his transfer to Florida State. It

46:07

was like, what's going to become of this guy's career,

46:10

but as a junior. So he comes back

46:12

from that. As a junior, he breaks

46:14

the PFF record for forced miss tackle

46:16

rate, their charting record, became

46:19

the only player that season to go over fifty

46:21

percent in that. So he's a broken

46:23

tackle guy when he gets out to the second level.

46:25

And once he does that, once he's able to break the

46:28

tackle, get out into the open field, hits

46:30

the jets, and he has the four to three wheels, which

46:32

he proved in Indianapolis at the NFL

46:34

Combine. I love that aspect of

46:36

his game doesn't have the joystick agility,

46:38

but he has the one cut thing, so

46:41

he has that violent cut and then

46:43

once it's the arm tackle off angle attempt,

46:45

those are the tackles that he breaks. You're

46:47

not taking that guy down. And let's unless

46:50

it's the flush tackle attempt or unless it's multiple

46:52

guys. Like I said, once he gets out into

46:54

open grass with the cuts, sometimes he'll

46:57

get out into open grass, then it's it's

46:59

the jets. The other thing with him he

47:01

played in the Mike Norvel offense at Florida State.

47:04

Recall Antonio Gibson recall

47:06

the other multi dimensional guys that he had

47:08

at Memphis. The way that he liked to move them around,

47:10

play him in the slot. Different the way that

47:12

he use those guys in the passing game. Same

47:14

thing he did with Trey Benson. So you would

47:16

see him in the slot. Sometimes they'd throw it to him

47:18

out there, have the blockers in front of him. The other

47:21

thing I liked about his receiving utility the

47:23

thing that in the play action game, Florida State loved

47:25

to do this play action Benson was

47:27

really good at selling it then working his way

47:29

through the garbage around the line of scrimmage quickly

47:32

getting around it, making himself available

47:34

to the quarterback. He got a lot of targets

47:36

doing that. The other thing, he's a good pass

47:38

blocker. A lot of running backs in this class

47:40

not only are they not, they literally can't

47:42

do it that. You can't even leave them on the field. So

47:44

he will be able to stay on the field all three downs

47:47

in the NFL at Florida State. The

47:49

one nippickye about Norvel's usage.

47:51

You saw this last year, well going back years

47:53

with him. He likes to use the multiple running

47:55

backs. So that was the reason why Trey Benson's

47:58

usage got a little bit wonk, even though he would he

48:00

was clearly their best running back in the NFL.

48:02

I think it's gonna be a three down thing in Arizona in

48:05

particular.

48:06

So Benson's comp according to

48:09

thor Is DeMarco Murray, that's a really

48:11

good one. Ericson, let's

48:13

talk about that, and let's break that down for a moment

48:15

if we can, because it feels like, as

48:18

Thora was saying this, the guy could jump in right

48:20

away be the Bell cow Gow. I know James Connor

48:22

is still there, but still James Connor is

48:25

towards the tail end of his running back career.

48:27

I think we can all agree on that. So

48:30

ericson what does this mean here, not just in redraft

48:32

leagues but also dynasty leagues. This landing spot

48:34

here for Benson, I.

48:36

Mean, it's a really good landing spot because, like you said, James

48:38

Connor is no spring chicken, Like this is the last year

48:40

of his contract, so it's still entirely

48:42

possible that they just ride James Connor till

48:45

the wheels fall off. But that being

48:47

said, Trey Benson has the skill set

48:49

to still be efficient and earn touches even

48:52

alongside James Connor, So I

48:54

don't anticipate him totally neutralizing

48:56

James Connor unless there's an injury. But that's

48:58

a big part of James Connor, Like he plays very physical

49:01

style of football, so he gets banged double a

49:03

lot. So I think you could see a

49:05

tandem between the two earlier in

49:07

the season, but as we

49:09

think, as things kind of trickle down, you could see

49:11

Benson kind of taking over this back, especially if

49:13

there's James Connor injury the next year. I mean,

49:16

it's all wheels up because James Connor is going

49:18

to be a free agent, so it would definitely be Trey

49:20

Benson's backfield and Marvin

49:22

Harrison, Kyler Murray, like, you're

49:24

excited about this card's offense. So for Dynasty

49:27

and Redraft, this is definitely a slam dunk

49:29

spot for Trey Benson.

49:31

Listen, I'm gonna say the same thing I said about the

49:33

last running back selected. I could see myself

49:35

in twenty twenty four redraft leagues Layton

49:37

Rounds taking shots on Trey Benson

49:39

too, just because, uh, look

49:42

again, I think this is where the value is. It's in

49:44

the youth of the position. It's in guys

49:46

who don't have much in front of them. They've

49:49

got guys that have towards

49:52

the end of their contracts or end of their careers.

49:54

Those are the guys that you want to invest in late

49:56

that don't cost you anything, because if

49:59

you can just kind of tread water those first six

50:01

weeks, or play the waiver wire, or

50:03

take that hero RB and then figure

50:05

out RB two, one of these

50:07

guys is gonna hit. It could be multiple

50:10

of them too. So Benson is another one for me that I'm

50:12

certainly going to be looking at the

50:14

Cincinnati Bengals picking

50:16

now. So picks coming in fast and furious. T

50:19

J hush Benzada doing the

50:21

pick here too, which is another fun

50:23

name to say. So we've run the gamut of fun names.

50:26

We had Amagaji with, we

50:28

had we TJ Houshmnzada,

50:31

and now we have wide receiver Jermaine

50:33

Burton from about to.

50:34

Get excited, de bro good hypes.

50:36

Let's go.

50:38

Jera. Why should we be hyped

50:41

about this young man now being

50:43

selected by the Cincinnati Bengals. And does it mean

50:46

that T. Higgins could be on the move

50:48

potentially Derek Brown.

50:50

I will not rule that out.

50:51

Jermaine Burton is a freaking stud

50:53

man and people have talked about in the entire

50:56

time, and I get it. We have heard

50:58

in this process about Main and Burton

51:00

possibly falling down draft boards because of

51:02

all field concerns. If you take

51:05

that out of the equation, Jermaine and Burton

51:07

should have been gone in the second round. He

51:10

I understand people will pigeonhole him as

51:12

a deep threat only because of how

51:14

Alabama used him. I adamantly

51:17

disagree with that. Bama used

51:19

him in a terrible way. He

51:22

is a stud guy's a triple threat

51:24

as far as three levels underrated.

51:26

Route Runner if and

51:28

this is not me throwing shade at Milroe, if

51:31

he could hit the broadside of a freaking barn, Jermaine

51:34

and Burton would have had a monster

51:37

season last year at Alabama. I freaking love

51:39

this pick. He's gonna be a awesome

51:42

value in Dinasau rookie drafts.

51:43

That was you not throwing trade at Melroe.

51:46

That oh I could get worse.

51:48

Yes, well, honestly, I'm here

51:50

for it if you want to get worse. I mean I thought he

51:52

was pretty under he

51:55

was he was. Let's call it like it

51:57

is. I mean, how many times have we sat here in

51:59

our lifetime and it hasn't been Alabama

52:01

guy, Alabama guy, Alabama guy. And you

52:03

know, then we have that little Georgia guy, Georgia guy Ron and

52:05

now it's like Michigan guys,

52:08

eh, Michigan guys. Like it's not quite

52:10

the same thing that we're used to. We're used to

52:12

seeing the Alabama factory

52:15

of guys. So this is sort of interesting

52:17

here that Burton makes his way to this

52:19

spot. Now it's becoming a crowded

52:21

room and wide receiver. So I have

52:24

to believe Derek that a T.

52:26

Higgins deal could be imminent

52:28

here. And it's funny because we have not gotten the Ayuke deal

52:31

that we thought we were going to yet we haven't gotten

52:33

t Higgins. We don't know what's going on. So maybe

52:36

tonight there will be some activity into tomorrow

52:38

morning, but certainly intriguing. I want

52:40

your take throworer on Burton though, because

52:42

look, whenever you get a wide receiver who lands

52:45

with a premium quarterback, and Joe Burrow is a premium

52:47

quarterback in the league's an MVP caliber

52:49

talent, you have to stand up and take notice.

52:51

So what sort of compliment

52:54

is he potentially to a Jamar Chase?

52:56

Because Chase is clearly the alpha.

52:58

But can he be the Omega? Can he

53:01

be what Higgins was? If Higgins is indeed

53:03

speculation potentially him moving

53:05

on from the Bengals.

53:07

If he keeps his head screwed on straight.

53:10

I mean, that's what it comes down to. What Jermaine

53:12

Burton off

53:14

the field stuff is the thing that concerns

53:17

you. We've heard

53:19

about that throughout the process. You know what

53:21

I had in my write up about that. I

53:24

had a full paragraph about it, and so I

53:26

put it in there, I said, and I hesitate to even

53:29

include this but it's a contextual fear

53:31

warning. I've heard multiple NFL

53:33

teams do not have burtened on their draft parts over

53:35

character concerns. I reached out to an NFL

53:37

agent who pursued sued Burton last year

53:39

about that and got the following response. Not

53:42

surprised. Burton faced intense

53:44

public criticism after Alabama's twenty

53:46

twenty two last second lost to Tennessee

53:49

after cameras appeared to catch him taking swipes

53:51

at two different crowdstorming Tennessee

53:54

or Walls fans, one of them a female,

53:57

as he walked out the field. Dan Brugl

54:00

to this on a recent episode of The Athletic Football

54:02

Show, and

54:06

this is Brugler quote. The talent's there,

54:08

it's a matter of consistency on and off the field.

54:10

He's been to six schools in eight years.

54:12

As one NFL scout put it, he was

54:15

on the

54:17

crap list of the coaches

54:19

of both the Georgia and Alabama.

54:23

He has all the talent that you would want. He

54:25

does. But it's another guy

54:27

that Kirby Smart did not mind when he walked

54:30

out the door, didn't care at all. In

54:32

fact, he might have. He might have told Jermaine Burton

54:34

to go ahead and go. Jermaine Burton was,

54:37

and this might speak to some of this stuff, was

54:39

like, all right, I'm gonna go to your biggest rival and I'm

54:41

gonna beat you. And last year he did in the

54:43

SEC title game, and

54:46

it was it was the reason that that Georgia

54:48

did not have the shot to three pete like I

54:50

was talking about before. And to Debro's

54:52

point about the usage and the fact

54:55

that we now moving to the on the

54:57

field stuff, Jermaine Burton has

54:59

all the the physical certainly the athletic

55:01

profile six foot one hundred, ninety six pounds,

55:04

ninety fifth percentile athlete, but he

55:06

also has the skills on the field to win at all three

55:08

levels. But last year, because

55:11

the very eloquent way that Deebra

55:13

talked about Jalen Milrose gave in

55:15

the pocket, I would leverage

55:17

the Downtown game of Jermaine

55:20

Burton's on field utility. That

55:22

was almost all the way he was used twenty

55:24

point two a dot for Jermaine Burton

55:27

last year, because that's what Jalen Milroe

55:29

is. He is the scrambler or he is throwing

55:31

it deep. The rest of this stuff he struggles

55:34

with that twenty point two a dot led

55:36

the class, but the route running, with the

55:38

athleticism, he's gonna be able to win at the other levels.

55:40

It just comes down to ken Jermaine

55:42

Burton ingratiate himself with his teammates,

55:45

not be grading in terms of that the the off field

55:47

stuff in the locker room. Will

55:50

that stuff jive because if it does on the field,

55:52

he has all the talent in.

55:53

The world.

55:55

Making a good joke.

55:57

Well, I just want to say, put a round on him, de bro, because I

55:59

think this is important power in dynasty

56:01

rookie drafts, like is this a guy that

56:03

you take in the fourth round and

56:05

you wait on and say, Okay, I'm

56:07

going to make an investment or does he not even fall

56:09

that far? Potentially in this year.

56:11

He doesn't fall to Nope, he doesn't

56:13

fall that far.

56:14

I'm pulling up my rankings right now in superflex

56:16

rankings.

56:17

I've got Jermaine Burton.

56:20

As I got him at as twentieth

56:22

overall, so I had them as well.

56:26

I had landing spot. Can he

56:29

leap frog somewhere else?

56:30

I mean, I mean, I'm keeping him around where

56:32

I'm at because the only guy I mean the guys I got above

56:34

him. Well, considering we still have Javon Baker

56:37

out there, we still have Troy Franklin where they land.

56:39

I think, if anything, Jermaine Burton is going to go

56:42

up for me. And Thorn

56:44

talked about it. If if the

56:46

if he is

56:49

focused and can put all

56:51

of the all field stuff behind him,

56:54

the talent is absolutely

56:57

there. Thorn and I have talked about him in

56:59

space. He's speaking of phone calls. If

57:02

it wasn't for that, Like, like I said, I've

57:04

got a head a round two grade

57:07

on Jermaine Burton, just based off of

57:09

the freaking talent. And if anybody pushes

57:11

back, go watch the game against LSU

57:14

this past season and people

57:16

think I'm hating on Milroe so much, Jermaine

57:18

Burton would have put up a nasty ridiculous

57:21

He was burning the LSU corners for days

57:24

on double moves and he's running down

57:26

the sideline wide open and he gets

57:28

to see the ball go over his

57:31

head, like, well, guess what so much for that

57:33

sixty yard completion.

57:36

More picks are in. After the Bengals

57:38

selected Jermaine Burton at eighty, the Seahawks

57:40

took offensive guard Christian Hayes

57:42

at eighty one, and the Cardinals

57:44

took a tight end, which is sort of interesting here

57:47

tip Ryman at eighty two. Thora

57:49

can you can you walk me through tip Ryman

57:52

here and why this

57:54

might be for a team that's already got one

57:56

of the right young stars at

57:58

the position of tight end in Trey McBride, this makes

58:00

very little sense to me.

58:01

Well, you're just.

58:02

Talking as a blocking tight end and he's an extraordinary

58:04

blocker.

58:06

That gardenerff pick was bizarre, especially for a team

58:08

that I thought was having a pretty good draft

58:10

up until then. You said

58:12

that the word tight end, there was like six names

58:14

that came into my head that was not one

58:16

of the six. I

58:18

don't really know what they're doing. That to

58:21

me, I think is just an athletic traits.

58:23

I shot in the dark. I

58:26

watch I watched that kid's tape.

58:28

He's not a good receiver. I don't

58:30

know what else to say. You

58:33

know, you can block with him a little bit in

58:35

terms of like the size he's he's almost

58:38

six foot five, two seventy one. And

58:40

to the point of why they're drafting him here,

58:42

it's because of the ninety ninth percentile

58:45

rat that that's the reason why they're doing it

58:47

at that size four six four forty.

58:50

And you know, like I said, but the

58:52

rest of it, I was not his

58:55

tape. I did not I

58:57

did not love so.

58:58

I just drafted't frustrated,

59:02

just the tip. It's just let's

59:05

get

59:07

let's let's get Russell Brown in for

59:09

a moment. I want to get your take on the

59:11

next election here of the Rams, because the Rams

59:14

have taken a running back. It's Blake Korum

59:16

at eighty three, Russell.

59:19

Brown, Jim Harbutt, right

59:21

now.

59:22

Your name's not Russell Brown's Thorneistrom. It's Russell's

59:24

turn, Russell Brown. You give me your

59:27

take here on Blake Korum, another running back

59:29

off the board here for the Rams. Your

59:31

thoughts and what it means for fantasy.

59:34

Well, I mean, this is the player that made JJ McCarthy

59:36

look so good. Thor Blake Korum

59:38

the fifty fourth ranked player on

59:40

my board, second round pick. As far

59:42

as evaluation, I think he was the top back

59:45

in this class. Ran a four five three forty.

59:47

That's okay. Long speed is not his game.

59:50

He's a downhill runner, always

59:52

able to run forward, fall forward,

59:54

get that short yardage. He runs with great contact

59:57

balance, consistently running through that initial

59:59

contact, really good lateral movement

1:00:01

for a player his size, and he's

1:00:04

just got great vision. He changes directions

1:00:06

so well. I know that long speed will get

1:00:08

brought up a lot. I know limited explosiveness

1:00:10

is there, and I know he's

1:00:13

going to be one of those guys that might be a little

1:00:15

boring for some, but he just reminds me

1:00:17

so much of David Montgomery. And I think he goes

1:00:19

to a great situation with the Rams

1:00:21

where they showed that they want to commit to running the football

1:00:24

last year, and I think that they can split those

1:00:26

duties in that backfield pretty well. So I like

1:00:28

this pick a lot for the Los Angeles Rams.

1:00:31

Five seven two oh five. What

1:00:33

do you make of the size here of Blake Korum.

1:00:36

I actually like running backs

1:00:38

to be a little bit smaller. For example, Trey

1:00:40

Benson, fun player, but being

1:00:42

over six foot tall that's always a little concerning.

1:00:45

Like I compare Trey Benson more so to TJ.

1:00:48

Blake Korum. I think that smaller

1:00:51

compact frame, that downhill running style

1:00:54

can translate to more success as far

1:00:56

as getting those yards, you know, yards

1:00:58

per carry and running between the t So

1:01:00

I like Blake Koram a little

1:01:02

bit more than probably the consensus.

1:01:04

Andrew Rickson, Let's bring you in and talk about Blake

1:01:06

Korum the latest selection. Finally, the Rams

1:01:08

took an offensive player. Everybody

1:01:10

would have thought Sean mcvayh oh, we just gotta

1:01:13

go ahead and take all the offense. No lots

1:01:15

of discipline there from Sean McVay. So ericson

1:01:18

your thoughts on Blake Krum, What do you think of the selection

1:01:20

of the Michigan running back now a Los

1:01:22

Angeles Ram Officially, I absolutely.

1:01:25

Love it because as bad as my

1:01:27

bets have gone today, I had a ticket

1:01:29

plus four thousand on Blake korm to be drafted

1:01:31

by the Los Angeles Rams.

1:01:33

So whoof, So that's saving

1:01:35

my bacon.

1:01:36

You hit the big one.

1:01:37

I gotta give you that. You might miss the small ones,

1:01:39

but you sing and the big.

1:01:41

Ones got a path.

1:01:42

You got a plus three thousand on Pennix, A plus

1:01:45

four thousand, you said on this.

1:01:46

Yeah, plus four thousand on Blake Cormy draft. I

1:01:49

mean, but that's how you play the NFL draft Like there are plenty

1:01:51

of these plus two hundred and five like that

1:01:53

have all flamed out because again,

1:01:55

sometimes the chalk hits. But when the

1:01:58

odds are there and value, it's like I could

1:02:00

see the Rams drafting running back Blake Korms should

1:02:02

be available. The Rams have a bunch of picks in round two

1:02:04

and round three and plus four thousand

1:02:07

sign me up. So it worked out. So

1:02:09

happy about that. But I like

1:02:11

this fit a lot. I think that Blake korm

1:02:13

offers a very similar skill set to

1:02:16

what Karen Williams can do. Like, I think that

1:02:18

if Blake korm got the volume that Karen Williams

1:02:20

did, he would be an RB one.

1:02:22

Like, I really don't think that

1:02:24

that's being too overly aggressive

1:02:26

with Blake Korm. It's just a matter of how much volume

1:02:29

is a offensive coordinator or head coach

1:02:31

going to load him up with. And he showed at Michigan that he

1:02:33

can handle load, so I

1:02:36

think that he's a very intriguing handcuff

1:02:38

option. I still think Karen Williams will be the

1:02:41

guy, But it's like, Okay, well, if

1:02:43

Karen goes down, are they going

1:02:45

to go right back to him like they did last year? Last year

1:02:47

it was just Ronnie Rivers, like that's who they had as

1:02:49

their backup, and then they brought it they did the Darryl Henderson

1:02:51

experiment, you know.

1:02:52

Off the couch.

1:02:54

So I think this is a really intriguing

1:02:56

spot for the Rams with a guy like Blake

1:02:58

Koram, who who can handle the workload

1:03:00

and the thing that I compared him to when I talked

1:03:03

about he was my RB two. So like Russell,

1:03:05

I think I was higher on him than the consensus

1:03:07

because I just felt like he

1:03:10

did everything that coaches wanted to running back to do.

1:03:12

Like he's not perfect at everything, Like he's

1:03:14

not the most explosive running back, but he

1:03:16

just does his job like and he obviously

1:03:19

has that instilled from what's set

1:03:21

up at Michigan under Harbaugh. So I'm

1:03:24

really intrigued by this for for

1:03:28

the Korum and obviously very happy

1:03:30

that he got drafted by the Rams.

1:03:31

Well, guess what another Michigan guy goes off

1:03:33

the board. The Steelers select Roman Wilson at

1:03:36

eighty four. Russell, let's get

1:03:38

to you Roman Wilson. Now,

1:03:40

comp that Thor gave for him is Golden

1:03:43

Tate. That would work out very well for the Steelers

1:03:45

here in this situation. So Russell,

1:03:47

what do you think about this selection here for the Steelers? They took

1:03:49

their offensive linement. They had a need at wide receiver.

1:03:52

Some other teams have taken some wild swings

1:03:55

at that position. We'll see if they hit

1:03:57

or miss. But from most big

1:03:59

boards here, this seems like a win for Pittsburgh. What

1:04:01

do you think?

1:04:02

Completely agree? I mean, I'm not a Michigan

1:04:05

fan by any means. I live in the state, but I'm a Michigan

1:04:07

state guy. I don't know how I get stuck talking about

1:04:09

all these Michigan guys.

1:04:10

But when they win the national championship,

1:04:12

that happens.

1:04:13

I know, I know five ten five

1:04:16

ran a four to three nine. This guy's a burner.

1:04:18

He is so efficient over the middle of

1:04:20

the field. I mean he can run those shallow

1:04:22

crossers, deep crossers, dig routes,

1:04:25

dagger concepts. He provides all that.

1:04:27

Just a fluid route runner that can beat defenders

1:04:30

with head and shoulder fakes consistently.

1:04:32

I love what he can do after the catch. He had

1:04:34

a great Senior Bowl, and there was

1:04:36

some thoughts going into today

1:04:38

that he would be the fifty first pick for the Pittsburgh

1:04:41

Steelers. So the fact that they took him

1:04:44

eighty fourth overall, that's just great

1:04:46

value to me. I think he was a second round

1:04:48

type of player. The pacing of his

1:04:51

routes could improve a little bit. I think he'll

1:04:53

struggle a little bit with the physicality

1:04:55

in the NFL, but again, just getting

1:04:57

open that's going to be the name of his game, and

1:05:00

this is about getting a number two into

1:05:02

that offense with George Pickens. I think it's

1:05:04

a great fit and also fun story

1:05:06

just about his high school career

1:05:09

and the fact that he had to like hop

1:05:11

on planes and go from one part

1:05:13

of the islands in Hawaii to another

1:05:15

part. He would get up at three thirty

1:05:17

in the morning just to get to school and it's

1:05:19

like, Okay, this guy was really dedicated to

1:05:21

his craft and playing for

1:05:24

the high school of Saint Louis High School there in Hawaii.

1:05:26

So just a great story and I think it's a great

1:05:28

fit in Pittsburgh.

1:05:30

What do you think about the Jermaine Burton selection there?

1:05:32

The boys were very excited about that pick for the Bengals,

1:05:35

the wide receiver from Alabama. Are you equally

1:05:37

excited about it?

1:05:38

Absolutely? I think he goes to a great landing

1:05:40

spot. Obviously, we'll see what happens with t Higgins,

1:05:43

but when you look at Jermaine Burton on my board,

1:05:45

third round, grade eighty second overall

1:05:47

player, so right exactly where, like the value

1:05:49

fits four four five speed, and

1:05:52

he's a guy that the explosiveness off

1:05:54

the line of scrimmage is some of the best in class.

1:05:56

I mean his ten yard spit split was only

1:05:58

one point five to three seconds, but he

1:06:01

gets ten yards in the snap of a finger,

1:06:03

and he can create separation

1:06:05

due to that speed. He's gonna win in

1:06:07

all three levels of the field. Like Debro said,

1:06:10

so I like that fit for Jermaine Burton

1:06:12

and Cincinnati just as much as I like this

1:06:14

one with with Roman Wilson in Pittsburgh.

1:06:17

Roman Wilson to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Andrew

1:06:19

Erickson, let's get your take on this one.

1:06:21

So Steelers had a need, they got

1:06:23

their wide receiver. What do you make of Roman Wilson

1:06:26

now officially in the Black and

1:06:28

Gold.

1:06:29

I think that Roman Wilson will be very efficient. The

1:06:32

Pittsburgh Steelers just have a very strong track

1:06:34

record of successfully drafting

1:06:36

receivers in round two and round three of these middle

1:06:38

rounds. So mining for value

1:06:41

on day two is some of the Steelers.

1:06:42

It's like it's.

1:06:43

A good bet to bet on guys that they like

1:06:45

because they know what to scout for. So the

1:06:48

only concern is is he

1:06:51

where is he gonna get volume in this offense? Like

1:06:53

we talked about with box coming on, they

1:06:55

want to run the football right And part

1:06:58

of the reason why Roman Wilson's counting

1:07:00

stats weren't so great

1:07:02

is because he played in a run first offense in Michigan.

1:07:05

Like, so again, they saw what

1:07:07

he could do in a run first offense to be really efficient

1:07:10

vertical threat down the field. So the

1:07:12

Steelers obviously see that and they're like, oh, this guy

1:07:14

can really work in our offense, which is also gonna

1:07:17

be run dominant. So I think

1:07:19

it might be a case of he's a

1:07:21

better real life fit. But in terms

1:07:23

of fantasy football, like if he's

1:07:25

strictly behind George Pickens, they still have Pat

1:07:27

Faouermouth there, who's going to be backing up

1:07:29

targets underneath is third

1:07:31

in the pecking order. Also, considering

1:07:34

the running backs in the passing game, is

1:07:36

that enough for fantasy football?

1:07:38

So again, as I'm kind of like ranking some

1:07:40

of these rookies as they've hit these landing spots

1:07:43

between Burton and Wilson, like in

1:07:45

this next tier after some of the guys that went yesterday.

1:07:48

I'm trying to keep that in mind.

1:07:49

Where not trying to overvalue

1:07:52

like real life spot versus Okay, at the end

1:07:54

of the day, like they got to.

1:07:54

Score fantasy points like who's going to score?

1:07:56

And Roman Wilson to me, it

1:07:59

might be a better real life fit than necessarily

1:08:01

for fantasy.

1:08:03

I don't know if I got your take on this one. Jermaine

1:08:05

Burton, So so far

1:08:07

it's three for three. The boys are all very excited

1:08:09

if you want to make it a clean sweep here as Burton for the Bengals.

1:08:12

Yeah, I look, the only thing

1:08:14

hesitance was just the off field stuff and

1:08:17

considering that it did not really

1:08:19

hinder his draft capital, or if it did and it only resulted

1:08:21

him falling into Round three, then that's pretty

1:08:24

good. So going to Cincinnati,

1:08:27

the writing is on the wall that t

1:08:29

Higgins whether he's going to be traded this year.

1:08:32

It doesn't think he's gonna come back at least next year, so

1:08:34

they have another answer at wide receiver

1:08:37

opposite Jamar Chase. So Burton

1:08:39

to me, not a player that's gonna again

1:08:41

soak up a ton of volume. But if

1:08:44

I'm looking for. Okay, I want a deep threat or a vertical

1:08:46

threat that can make big plays. I would rather

1:08:48

have it in the Bengals offense versus the

1:08:50

Steelers offense. Like as you're making like comparisons

1:08:53

to some of these players being drafted near each other, just

1:08:55

think about that, take a step back and be like, Yeah,

1:08:57

I made like the talent Jerame Burton or Roman

1:08:59

Wills, and maybe more than Draan Burton. But is

1:09:02

it by that much? Where in an offense that's

1:09:04

going to throw it all significantly more? Okay,

1:09:06

It's much easier to see Jermaine Burton's path to

1:09:09

success, especially in the long term, attaching Joe

1:09:11

Burrow, versus a guy like Brummin Wilson,

1:09:13

where he may just be efficient but doesn't

1:09:16

actually translate to a lot of fantasy success.

1:09:18

All right, let's get back to thorn Nystrom

1:09:20

Thor getting you caught up

1:09:22

here. A few picks on the offensive

1:09:25

side that I want to get your take on. First, Blake

1:09:27

Koram running back from Michigan going

1:09:29

to the Rams, and then his teammate Roman

1:09:31

Wilson going to the Steelers. So you had Korum

1:09:33

at nineteen to the Rams,

1:09:36

and then Wilson at twenty

1:09:38

or eighty four overall, I should say total

1:09:41

to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Thore your thoughts on these

1:09:43

two selections.

1:09:44

Yeah, for the Yeah, I

1:09:46

made the crack about Jim Harby getting

1:09:49

ticked off that McVeigh did that to him

1:09:51

With Korum. I Harbaugh loved

1:09:53

Blake Korum twenty twenty two.

1:09:55

Blake Koram was an absolute beast.

1:09:58

He had the injury at the end of that which

1:10:00

if that had not occurred, Blake Korum

1:10:02

would be coming off his rookie season in the NFL

1:10:05

right now. He had to go back to school because

1:10:07

of that injury. Last season. When

1:10:09

he comes back, he was sluggish at the beginning

1:10:11

of the season. He played a little bit better at

1:10:13

the end of it, but he didn't

1:10:15

test very well, you know. And then in the process

1:10:18

as well. The things

1:10:21

that he is very good at, a lot of them you

1:10:24

can't test for in Indianapolis,

1:10:26

like the field, the running with tempo, the

1:10:28

vision, different stuff like that. The agility

1:10:30

he showed. That's the athletic trait

1:10:33

that he has bowling ball. Build that

1:10:35

thing in conjunction with the vision and

1:10:37

the field and the tempo. That's how he gets

1:10:39

his yards right and then he can get into the second

1:10:42

level. Sometimes categorically lacks

1:10:44

the long speed. One of my favorite plays from

1:10:46

JJ McCarthy's tape was his true freshman

1:10:49

year Big Ten title game against Iowa,

1:10:51

hands the ball out to Blake Blake Korum

1:10:53

gets into the second level, then the third level.

1:10:56

JJ McCarthy just sprints past them

1:10:58

and then at the goal and ends up waiting

1:11:01

for Blake Korum to get there, blocks

1:11:03

a guy and then that gets corm into the end

1:11:05

zone. But Korum, I you know, good

1:11:08

back. The receiving utility, that's

1:11:10

one thing that we don't know about. He wasn't used a

1:11:12

ton as that at Michigan. But

1:11:14

the Rams, we know this. They don't care as much about

1:11:17

the testing data that we get during the pre draft

1:11:19

process, so it's not a surprise that they

1:11:21

would be attracted to a back like that. He

1:11:23

will be a compliment for Kyron Williams

1:11:25

Karen Williams, the guy who is a very good receiver

1:11:27

at Notre Dame. I think you can mix and match

1:11:30

those guys so that you

1:11:32

know that's that's those two guys. And then of course

1:11:34

his teammate Roman Wilson cool

1:11:37

a little bit of symmetry there with him

1:11:39

going off the board right after that, and

1:11:42

a great value there for the Steelers at an

1:11:44

acute position in need. Bruman Wilson

1:11:46

was number forty four on my board wide

1:11:48

receiver nine ends up going eighty

1:11:50

four to the Steelers. I think he gets

1:11:52

under sold a bit because of the size

1:11:55

right like he's a hair

1:11:57

under five to eleven one five

1:12:00

I have eighty fifth percentile athlete.

1:12:02

He does have the speed. It

1:12:04

played in the slot at Michigan, but

1:12:07

and he's going to be a slot in the NFL. But

1:12:09

he can win at all three levels. He can win

1:12:11

down the field. Maybe not

1:12:13

in the true contested situations, but

1:12:15

he's able to win. He was able to win separation

1:12:18

down the field. When he does win the separation down

1:12:20

the field, he will track the ball and catch it down

1:12:22

the field. Had some explosive plays there,

1:12:24

Certainly short and intermediate. Intermediate,

1:12:27

I think is where he makes a lot of his

1:12:29

money and his hay and his targets in the NFL.

1:12:32

I think that's where Russell Wilson will be targeting

1:12:35

him a lot next year. They need guys

1:12:37

to target the ball to next season.

1:12:39

In that offense, we talked about

1:12:43

possibly why not take Marshall

1:12:45

Lloyd there if you're the Cowboys instead. Yes, regardless

1:12:48

of the arm length. Marshall Lloyd did go with the very

1:12:50

next pick to the Packers and de

1:12:52

Bro, I don't know if I love this or hate this because

1:12:54

Josh Jacobs is already there Aj

1:12:57

Dillons on this roster two. So explain

1:13:00

this one to me, Debro. Is this one of these, well,

1:13:02

we'll love it in two years kind of things.

1:13:05

I'm fine with the pick right now.

1:13:07

Looking at Josh Jacobs, we

1:13:09

didn't see the same Josh Jacobs. Now

1:13:11

everybody's looking at him and talking about, oh, he's a bell

1:13:13

cow, he's going to be that. They look at the contract

1:13:16

and they say four years, forty eight million. This

1:13:19

is basically a one year deal, a really

1:13:21

puffed up one year deal by the

1:13:23

Green Bay Packers. If you want to get very

1:13:27

I want to say, look at this in a positive light, look

1:13:29

at it as a two year deal. But the

1:13:32

reality is the Green Bay Packers if Josh

1:13:34

Jacobs doesn't bounce back,

1:13:36

which his tackle breaking metrics were terrible

1:13:38

last year after the previous

1:13:41

season where he wrecked up. It was over four

1:13:43

hundred freaking touches. He was

1:13:45

worn down, he got hurt, he wasn't

1:13:47

breaking tackles, and he

1:13:50

struggled last year. And people could

1:13:52

try to wish that away, but it's the reality

1:13:54

of it. If Josh Jacobs does not bounce

1:13:56

back, the Green Bay Packers could cut him.

1:13:58

And only be on the now.

1:13:59

I say all, they would have to absorb

1:14:01

a nine point three million dead cap

1:14:03

hit, but they would be jettisoning

1:14:06

him. Marshawn Lloyd is gonna be the quick

1:14:09

RB two on this depth chart over AJ

1:14:11

Dillon. I'm not worried about aj Dillon. AJ Dillon

1:14:13

hasn't broken a tackle since his first year

1:14:15

in the league. But don't you think

1:14:18

the perception out there is going to be he's

1:14:20

buried on the depth chart. Whether you are

1:14:23

right or wrong, I think the perception is clearly,

1:14:26

ah, well, I'm not going to take him

1:14:28

with my rookie picks because he's behind Josh

1:14:30

Jacobs. He's you know, AJ Dillon still

1:14:32

around. This guy's buried on the depth chart. I think

1:14:35

that perception makes him an intriguing

1:14:37

dynasty league value. I think and you is

1:14:39

certainly looking at it that way. Hit the nail

1:14:42

on the head I think that people are going to tell themselves

1:14:44

two very very different stories in

1:14:47

with two running backs that are basically

1:14:49

in the same situation. Now, you could talk about,

1:14:51

okay, well, James Connor is a free agent next year.

1:14:55

Josh Jacobs could be a free agent next year.

1:14:57

So while people will jump on the trade Benson stuff

1:15:00

and say, oh, well, look, James

1:15:02

Connor's definitively out the door,

1:15:04

he's gone, they're

1:15:06

gonna sleep on the fact that maybe Josh Jacobs

1:15:09

is going after this year. So if you're telling

1:15:11

me Marshall Lloyd has become is going to

1:15:13

become an even better value in Dynasty

1:15:15

rookie drafts, I'm here for it.

1:15:17

Well, the Buccaneers didn't just

1:15:20

go ahead and take a safety. They also

1:15:22

took a wide receiver just now with the ninety

1:15:24

second pick, Jalen McMillan, wide

1:15:26

receiver from Washington for let's

1:15:30

take a look into his comp

1:15:32

and his potential for fantasy in

1:15:34

twenty twenty four and beyond, what do you have on McMillan.

1:15:37

Yeah, so we're gonna come full circle,

1:15:40

you know, closing out the night now, because I

1:15:42

believe that Jalen McMillan is and

1:15:44

Joey. I hate to do this to harken

1:15:46

back to earlier, but I believe he is a better prospect

1:15:49

end player than Jalen Polk. And

1:15:51

the only reason that people don't think that, and obviously

1:15:54

Elliot Wolf doesn't, is because Jalen

1:15:56

McMillan got injured in September when

1:15:58

those two guys were healthy. I mentioned this before.

1:16:01

There was at no point when those two guys

1:16:03

were on the same field together did Michael

1:16:05

Pennix or Kalin debor did they ever

1:16:07

think that Jalen Polk, by

1:16:09

the usage, by the way that they were

1:16:11

using them, was better than Jalen McMillan.

1:16:14

And I also believe you know, of course, that those guys

1:16:16

are both going to be slots in the NFL. I

1:16:19

think Jalen McMillan is going to be a very very

1:16:21

good one. He going to start for a long time. I

1:16:23

comp him to Tyler Boyd. That's

1:16:25

what I think he is. He's the super duper

1:16:27

crafty guy, well fortified. Is

1:16:30

he going to blow your socks up go downfield?

1:16:32

No, it's the intermediate

1:16:34

stuff, just the clever, get get open,

1:16:37

out of the route break kind of stuff. He introduces

1:16:40

doubt into the defender's head. By the way

1:16:42

he's running the route. He's going to create a little bit of separation.

1:16:44

You're going to catch every ball. That's what he does.

1:16:47

It's the efficiency stuff with Jalen McMillan.

1:16:49

You can pound him with targets. That's what he's going to

1:16:51

bring to his NFL offense. I liked

1:16:53

him a lot of I think I had a wide receiver of fifteen

1:16:56

somewhere in there. I had Polk, you know, four

1:16:59

spots or so on my wide receiver rankings

1:17:01

below that. But this is a good value.

1:17:04

It's it's funny. I was bullish,

1:17:06

you know, as Dee bro knows, super bullish

1:17:08

on McMillan. I had him ranked

1:17:10

above I believe it, maybe

1:17:12

anyone in the industry ranking him ninety

1:17:15

third overall. He just went ninety

1:17:17

second in the NFL draft

1:17:19

soul by the NFL

1:17:22

ended up seeing him exactly like I did

1:17:24

the Buccaneers dead and I think, like I said, I

1:17:26

think you're gonna start in the NFL for a long time

1:17:28

in that slot, and I think he's a guy that you can

1:17:30

pone with targets.

1:17:32

Well, the last one is a name

1:17:34

familiar to a lot of fantasy matagers out

1:17:36

there, it's Luke McCaffrey and wide

1:17:38

receiver. My boy commanders at

1:17:40

one hundred, so they no, let's

1:17:43

talk about it. What excites you about McCaffrey

1:17:45

and should we be excited about him as a commander?

1:17:48

We should, Yeah, especially

1:17:50

with Jayden Daniels's game. I was punning

1:17:52

the table for McCaffrey all spring long

1:17:56

and ends up going in around three. Kind of crazy

1:17:58

and people that look at like Christian's brother,

1:18:01

YadA, YadA. Keep in mind, this guy when he came into

1:18:03

the process was being talked about as a UDFA

1:18:05

or round seven guy. He

1:18:07

goes into the pre draft process was impressive

1:18:09

and mobile. Then it

1:18:12

was really when he went to the combine and tested

1:18:14

like he did, when people really open their eyes

1:18:16

to his game. But he was

1:18:18

a guy when he comes into college,

1:18:20

he was a dual threat quarterback, a good one top

1:18:23

hundred recruit, but he failed at quarterback.

1:18:25

He goes then to Rice. Finally after

1:18:27

a couple years fail in there, Nebraska

1:18:30

Louisville transfers down to Rice finally

1:18:32

transitions to receiver. His first

1:18:34

two years at receiver. So the last two seasons

1:18:37

dominated Conference USA eighty

1:18:39

percent of his snaps were played in the slot twenty

1:18:41

on the outside. He might be able to hang

1:18:44

on the outside, but especially in

1:18:46

G five conferences, they will play their best

1:18:48

receiver in the slot. You get them closer

1:18:50

to the quarterback. The accuracy of first guys.

1:18:52

Luke McCaffrey wins down the field.

1:18:55

His hands are awesome, he doesn't drop anything.

1:18:57

His contested catch rate is ridiculous,

1:19:01

especially you look at him down the field. Dee

1:19:03

bro and I we had so much fun watching

1:19:05

his tape when you look at the amount

1:19:08

of catches that he caught where his helmet popped

1:19:10

off. We saw more of that with McCaffrey

1:19:12

than we did with the rest of the wide receiver class.

1:19:15

Combined the concentration that

1:19:17

he has, you know, both with getting popped, but

1:19:19

also the times where like JT. Daniels would

1:19:21

try to like fit the ball in with the

1:19:23

descending safety and then he had the cornerback

1:19:25

from behind try to fit it into these tight

1:19:28

quarters. He would see the ball in through,

1:19:30

you know, in these situations where other receivers

1:19:32

the concentration just is in there. I

1:19:35

was just a huge fan of his game in the past couple of years

1:19:37

in Conference USA prove the concept

1:19:39

of the athleticism, which you probably shouldn't have had to

1:19:41

do since his brothers this athletic freaking

1:19:44

you know, NFL royalty, the

1:19:46

bloodlines obviously ed you know, Denver

1:19:48

Broncos and whatnot. And prove

1:19:51

the concept. And again the other thing I

1:19:53

wanted to, you know, the context of it. Keep

1:19:55

in mind for people out there, he has only

1:19:57

been playing the receiver position for two

1:20:00

and the things that he showed doing that the last

1:20:03

couple of years were very contextually impressive.

1:20:05

You now put him with Jayden Daniels, a

1:20:07

guy who was an absolute killer throwing

1:20:10

the ball down the field. That's what Luke

1:20:12

McCaffrey did at Rice. I love

1:20:14

this pick for Washington.

1:20:16

Ericson your thoughts on McCaffrey before we

1:20:18

shut it down for the evening.

1:20:20

It's prout it was pretty good at football, So I mean

1:20:22

chasing those blood lines, well.

1:20:24

I mean, come on, just because someone you know, that's

1:20:27

that's crazy talk. We can talk about

1:20:29

some other brothers that were not as good as

1:20:31

their other brother at certain sports

1:20:33

all day long. So you know,

1:20:35

Jose Canseeco and Ozzy Canseco were twins,

1:20:37

for God's sake, let's not forget

1:20:39

that. So what can McCaffrey

1:20:42

do in fantasy for folks, that's the real

1:20:44

question.

1:20:45

Well, that depends on how he

1:20:47

slides into the depth chart. Now you look

1:20:49

at the way the Commanders are set up. You have Terry

1:20:51

McLaurin as the number one. Johan Dotson

1:20:54

took a step back last year after an

1:20:56

impressive rookie year, but he's

1:20:58

still probably going to be at least number two. So

1:21:01

then Sanat joins the crew

1:21:03

as a number. They still need number three. Like

1:21:05

that's the way I look at it. So zach

1:21:07

Ertz like, no, Ben's to not like the Diany

1:21:10

Brown Jamison crowd. Are those types of players

1:21:12

Like, Yeah, you could see Luke McCaffrey

1:21:14

like carving out that starting slot role, you

1:21:16

know, with John dottson and Terry mccaoring in

1:21:19

eleven personnel. So that's

1:21:21

pretty exciting. I'm always kind

1:21:23

of hesitant to just buying to Cliff Kingsbury, but with

1:21:25

Jane Daniels there, Commander's

1:21:28

just you know, talking about how good

1:21:30

their draft has been, how they haven't done

1:21:32

what it seems like Commanders or Washington

1:21:34

has done in the past with draft picks, Like

1:21:37

they're heading in the right direction. So you

1:21:39

know, when Luke McCaffrey was drafted here, it's

1:21:41

like, oh man, like it seems like this is like much

1:21:43

higher than I anticipated him drafting. But maybe

1:21:45

it's a signal to hey, like he's

1:21:48

legit, like you know, you should take notes.

1:21:50

So I'm gonna move him up my ranking significantly.

1:21:52

And I need to go back and kind

1:21:55

of re evaluate McCaffrey now that you

1:21:57

know he's been drafted so high.

1:22:00

Just one hundred, but you know I was higher

1:22:02

on him that. I'm pretty sure that anyone

1:22:04

in the industry is pretty interesting in the NFL

1:22:07

draft goes right about there.

1:22:09

There you have it, everybody. That is the recap

1:22:12

of Night two of the NFL

1:22:14

Draft. Again, that's round two and Round

1:22:16

three. But if you want more breakdowns, head
