A
Marlon Klein's 15th ranked tight end on our sheet. Do we want to do a video here? He caught 38 passes in four years. I mean, I know we're supposed to like, do like every offensive player, but like, should we do a two minute video where it just says, like, ignore this guy for fantasy? Or we let Conor open Monday's show with his right. He became a star, but it's also landing sparks. Not even that. We're saying, like, he's a bad player. It's just like he went to a team that has four tight ends, right? No, we're not doing a video. You know what?
- [00:29]
B
We could. We can.
- [00:30]
A
I know we can. I just. If you want to, we will. But I'm just thinking, like, you know what someone else can talk about? Michael Klein. Fantasy Football Happy hour with Matthew Berry.
- [00:45]
B
Welcome, folks, to the Fantasy Football Happy Hour. I'm Lawrence Jackson Jr. To my right, my man, Conor Rogers. To my left, my other man, Matthew Berry. And so here we go. Connor. Marlon Klein.
- [00:59]
A
I love this.
- [01:00]
B
So we did not do the video? No, that was the video right there.
- [01:04]
C
Marlon Klein video.
- [01:05]
A
Yeah.
- [01:05]
C
No, no one needs to do a Marlin. No disrespect to Marlon Klein.
- [01:09]
A
No disrespect, but we were pounding them out. Lawrence and I were like. And you know, every offensive player we were doing one for, you were excited. And then you get to Marlon Klein and you're like, man, how many catches? Right? We had.
- [01:19]
B
We had a. We had a run on tight ends that we had to. So I think by the time we got to Marlon Klein, we were like, damn. Yeah, we just gonna have to.
- [01:28]
C
Is that. Is it the Marlon Klein line now? Like how there's the Mendoza line in the. In batting average and the Nate Bor Kircher line. Like there was. There was a lot of times we got him, though.
- [01:37]
B
We did Bork. Her only fantasy show talk about him.
- [01:42]
A
We did. We did a Borka shirt. But then we're like, all right. No, stop it.
- [01:45]
C
You know, you felt like you're being pranked at that point.
- [01:47]
B
Hold on. We got Valiant Vincent, 13, LJ in the lead chair. We love to see it. Hey, man. Appreciate you, man. Hey, this the. I've been doing this show four years. This is the first time sat next to Matthew right here.
- [01:59]
A
That's true.
- [02:00]
B
You know, but, you know, you know, it's kind of like how, you know, Drew Bledsoe, you know, he leading the Patriots for so long. That's Connor. Tom Brady comes in, never gives the job back.
- [02:13]
C
I got my ass Knocked out.
- [02:14]
A
Yeah.
- [02:15]
B
That's not me. That's not me. This more like Lynn Sanity.
- [02:19]
C
Jay Ajayi when he wanted hey Lynn, Sanity was fun.
- [02:23]
B
We'll go with it like that today.
- [02:24]
A
But today look is a good reference. Yeah.
- [02:27]
B
Shout out to Jeremy Lynn out there. We got Barry, we got your super flex rankings today. Hell, let's start it off right now. Jeremiah Love, third overall, Arizona Cardinals. Everybody's number one.
- [02:42]
A
Yeah.
- [02:43]
B
How you feeling about him?
- [02:44]
A
So just so we're clear that these rankings are for a are these. This is a rookie super flex dynasty league. So obviously two quarterbacks using PPR scoring as well. I don't think it matters the format. Jeremiah Love would be number one regardless of the format. But just so you guys understand that so we get through. These are dynasty rookie rankings for a super flex league. Jeremiah Love is my number one. I think he's everyone's number one. Look, I think just draft capital, right? Number three overall since 2012, five of the eight running backs drafted inside the top 10 finished as top seven running backs in points per game. Then you think about, you think about just the talent here, right? Right Back to back seasons over 7 yards per touch, a very good pass catcher. So I'm not worried about that. And they're making some moves to try to improve this offensive line, Connor, but ultimately I think you're banking on the tal, the opportunity and the fact that even in negative game script he's not somebody that comes off the field.
- [03:34]
C
That's an important key. Right. He's so good in the pass game and I wouldn't get too caught up in what's on their backfield now. Yeah, you get a veteran and a power runner and Tyler Algier, he'll annoy you stealing some touchdowns but it's not going to drive you crazy. We'll see what James Connor has left in the tank. I don't think Trey Benson's going to be on this team to start out the season. I could see them finding a late day three pick swap to move on from him. So Jeremiah Love, not a guy to overthink. I think you will get Jameer Gibbs level production one day from him. He's such a dynamic threat that this is one to feel really easy about. Especially there. You have quarterbacks that don't look to necessarily throw the ball down the field all the time. So he'll get dump offs. Whether it's Brissette, whether Carson Beck has to play one day, man, this is an easy 101. I, I wouldn't even want to move at it like consider moving out of this pick for a ton of resources. Just get the great player.
- [04:21]
B
We got ved fantasy football happy hour regular Jor Jeremiah Love or Ashton Genty this season.
- [04:29]
A
Matthew Believe it or not, I actually have Genti higher because I'm a believer more in just I think that I think the competent offense with Kubiak, with Kubiak, given how much they use, how much they use run game to set up play action that I think whether it's Mendoza or Kirk Cousins under center to start out, like I just think it'll be a functional offense and I think people are going to be so out on Genty after last year but like he didn't forget how to run the football. And so with Jeremiah Love, like you mentioned Jameer Gibbs and I think that's a great point. Like remember Jameer Gibbs? Everyone was like he came in the league and everyone's like dude, you used the 12th overall pick on him. And why is David Montgomery getting all these theories? It took a while for Gibbs to sort of get up to speed and for them to trust him with a full workload. I suspect. As you mentioned they signed Algiers. They have James Conner, the veteran there like ISIS. Look, he's still going to get like 12 to 15 touches but like full on all. Jeremiah Love isn't going to happen until the second half of the season. And I think that's you start and end with Ashton Genty if you're the Raiders. If you're Clint Kubiak, it's going to
- [05:28]
C
be a really interesting debate. I wonder what it'll look like at cost when we get to August. You get the one Jeremiah Love camp clip of him catching a pass. You know what? Yes or De Genti bounce back. It is, it is easy to buy into. You have a quarterback that could throw the ball down the field. We don't know if that quarterback is going to start week one, which is another variable in all of this, the Kirk Cousins, Fernando Mendoza debate. But that'll be a close one.
- [05:51]
B
Here's a question.
- [05:52]
A
And they've improved their offensive line obviously starting with the center. Right. I mean they've got the best center in the NFL in Las Vegas.
- [05:59]
C
Yeah.
- [05:59]
B
They also did a lot on defense too. That helps you get more possessions. Barry. What having if you have the one on one pick in a dynasty league, are you trading that away? If so, what would it take to give up that 101 pick for Jeremiah Love?
- [06:14]
A
It would take a. It would take a haul. I will tell you. So I Caused a bunch of controversy on NFL stock exchange. I was there prior to the draft with, with Connor and Trevor and we, we talk about like I got offered like the worst trade ever. It's an all timer, all time. Or like I got offered like Tank Dell and like everybody's joke, Jack Besh, Tank Dell, like, you know, a number one.
- [06:39]
C
Someone else was in there. That was not good.
- [06:41]
A
That was not good. It was like, oh, RJ Harvey. It was RJ Harvey. Jake.
- [06:46]
B
Was that the best part of it?
- [06:49]
A
Tank Dell and the, like the, and the 111 for Jeremiah love. In essence, Jeremiah Love.
- [06:54]
B
It was brutal.
- [06:55]
A
It was my buddy Scott Barrett, who I, I love Scott Barrett. I think he's a very. And it was. Anyway, it became a whole thing and I was just having fun with it and then it became a. Anyway, people got upset. People became upset. Scott took it in the right. In the, in the spirit that it was meant, but not everyone did. Anyway, point is, is what would it take to move off of Jeremiah Love? I would want multiple first round picks. I will tell you in this same league and it's a league of very smart, you know, fantasy analysts, a bunch of people you've heard of like Graham Barfield and Jeff Collins and Danny Kelly and you know, anyway, I'm forgetting Scott Barrettson and everything like that, so. But Pat Thorman's in it. But what I would say is that in that particular league, to move up to Genty, who I think is, you know, thought of as a similar way, three picks, you know, it was like the 104, 105 and the 108 to move up to get Jeremiah Love. So three first rounders. So I, so I think it's two first rounders in a piece. It's potentially three first rounders, especially given how weak this year's draft class is. As you'll see, we get into this,
- [07:56]
B
into these rankings, I would give that up. Moving on to number two in your super flex rookie ranks, Jordan Tyson Connor, your number one overall receiver in this draft class, he goes number eight overall to the Saints, goes there to kind of compliment Chris Olave. How do you see it shaking out for him?
- [08:13]
C
Well, you love the landing spot, right? Because Tyler Schuck is good. We could say that with our chest. Tyler Schuck is at least competent. We think there's more upside with him in this offense. They have a good offensive line where they could drop back and throw the ball down the field. Jordan Tyson was the receiver to me in this class that has the Most clear cut chance to be a dynamic number one receiver. Now, I know the combo of Karnell Tate will be more about opportunity because Tyson has to share targets for now with Chris Alave, who unfortunately has also been hurt a lot throughout his NFL career. But Matthew, I thought this was the best separator. He's got great ball skills. I know everybody gets hung up over the injuries as well with him, but he's been highly productive over the last two years where he's had almost a combined 2,000 yards. This is a, this is a one where, man, like, I'm not really thinking twice about it. If I don't need Fernando Mendoza at quarterback, I am taking Jordan Tyson.
- [08:59]
A
Yeah, I could not agree more. He's my number two guy on this list. As you can see, I have him ranked ahead of Fernando Mendoza. We'll get to that in a second as well. But. But like 21 games the past two seasons, scores 19 touchdowns. So we always talk about this. I've said it a million times. I'll say it a million more. The most important thing when it comes to fantasy success, both in redraft and dynasty, best ball. Whatever you play, Guillotine, whatever you play is talent and opportunity. The talent's off the charts. Right. I mean, like we've talked about this. Jackson, Smith and Jigba is a fair comp for Jordan Tyson. Right.
- [09:30]
C
I mean there's some Garrett Wilson in him. It's yeah, that level of player.
- [09:34]
A
Right.
- [09:34]
C
For sure.
- [09:36]
A
So you've got that kind of talent. And then you think about the opportunity here where other than other than Chris Olavi, there's not much there. 22% target share for Rashid Shahid in this offense prior to him being sent off to Seattle. And so you think about Tyson, who's the number two. And I would argue that if you look at the draft capital, what this, you know the Saints using a top 10 overall pick on him, right. Like they've done their research about the medical history and so obviously the, the front office and Kellen Moore in New Orleans are comfortable with the medical history there. Does. Is there some concerns injury wise? Yes. But you know what? So does every NFL player. Every NFL player can get hurt on every single play. You can't really draft like that. So I think especially when you consider the fact that Chris Olave is set to become a free agent after this season. So there's a, there's a scenario and we like this offense emerging. We like what we saw to Tyler Schuck last year. So you're looking at somebody who could be the number one wide receiver for a pretty good offense playing in a dome for the next decade, especially if Olavi moves on after the end of next year.
- [10:38]
B
Right on. Well, another player who has a potential to be a part of this pretty good offense, Oscar Delp. He was. He's also drafted by the Saints a couple of rounds later. But more importantly, more importantly, his dog is drinking for free today.
- [10:52]
A
Yeah, this is. So this is. This is from Georgia football on social media.
- [10:57]
B
He just. He just trying to find his spot, like, right, come on, dad.
- [11:02]
A
Let me get in there. Lots of hugs from the family. Everyone else, everyone's loving Oscar. He's going to the Saints. But then the dog maneuvering through traffic, getting up there onto the couch.
- [11:13]
B
He found his way.
- [11:14]
A
Exactly. Patience. Patience of the dog. The vision. Yeah, the vision. And so Oscar's up, drinks for free.
- [11:24]
B
I respect Oscar Del's dog. Cause he was such a gentleman and how he approached everything. He didn't just go, yeah, he a team guy. He's like, look, I'll wait my turn. This guy just got drafted. I always, I'm always the center of attention. Let me wait my turn.
- [11:40]
A
But Connor, I mean, again, we talk about the scouting, right? The patience behind that line, the vision, finding the crease, the vertical leap to finish. I mean, it's a dynamic athlete. I'm just saying.
- [11:50]
C
Oscar Delt, but bring your dog to New Orleans with you.
- [11:53]
A
Yeah, no question about it. So he was the star of the draft as well, as was the number three guy on my list, Carnell Tate. I think a lot of people were surprised, Connor, when he went to Tennessee.
- [12:07]
C
Definitely Carnell Tate being the fourth overall pick in the draft, a little bit of surprise. Even if you're like me and you evaluate him more as a high end. Number two. What you love about this is two things. One, you brought up opportunity, Matthew. Who's going to have more opportunity than Carnell Tate? In theory, this wide receiver room doesn't scare you at his ability. When the play breaks down and when Cam Ward's your quarterback, the play breaks down and turns into a scramble drill. A lot is very natural. He flows with his quarterback. He's got good body control along the sideline. He can leap and track the ball down the field. So I think these two will mesh together very well.
- [12:41]
A
Yeah, and then you think about. You think about Wandell Robinson as well. You know, coming over Brian Daboll, like you feel better about this offense. Just again, the addition of Daboll as a play caller, the addition of Wandell Robinson said we'll see what the. If Calvin Ridley has anything left. But we saw some moments out of DK last year. He'll play play in the slot here. And so suddenly, you know, Carnell Tate, I think and maybe I'm overrating this, Connor, and maybe this isn't fair, but for me, the fact that Carnell Tate went to Ohio State, when you just think about Garrett Wilson and Chris Olavi and Lauren and just a floor Jackson Smith and Jig, but just all these amazing Ohio State wide receivers that come out of that program, you just sort of like, like, I don't know, like I give him a couple extra points just because like if you succeed in that program, there's a long track record of you likely succeeding in the NFL.
- [13:27]
C
I think it's where helmet scouting does count because one, they know how to evaluate high school talent at wide receiver. By the way, Chris Henry's son is now on that program.
- [13:35]
B
You seen them highlights? Oh my God, yeah. Spring game.
- [13:38]
C
Yeah, it's going to be nuts. But they know how to scout high school talent, but they know how to develop it. They don't come into the league needing to learn a route tree or route detail or anything like that. Going back to all the guys you just mentioned, Matthew, and this time next year we'll be talking about Jeremiah Smith possibly as the one on one super flex. It's just, it's nuts. The wide receiver talent that they scout and develop. Carnell fits the bill.
- [13:57]
B
You talked about. When the play breaks down, go back to Cam Ward's first touchdown pass in his rookie season, the Ellic Isle Manor. It was that type of play. Right. And Carnell Tate's going to be the guy who could catch those type of passes.
- [14:09]
A
Moving on to number improve the offensive line as well. So I mean like they're Tennessee is. We'll see what happens with Cam Ward. But give the Titans credit. They are trying to put some pieces around Cam Ward.
- [14:22]
B
Now we go to number four, who was the first overall pick in the real NFL draft? Fernando Mendoza. Matthew, a lot of times we kind of know with the first overall pick he's going to play right away. In this case, we do not know that you have him number four here. What's the thought process there?
- [14:41]
A
Well, it's a super flex dynasty league, right. So I'm not really worried about whether he starts week one one or not. This is about long term and obviously, look, there's an argument that I'm both too high or too low on Mendoza, that the two, the Two low is again, he's a quarterback in a superflex dynasty league and he's the only quarterback in this class that has a clear legit shot to start. Like we'll talk about the Carson Beck's and Drew Ollers of the world, you know. But like, like, you know, Fernando Mendoza is going to get a very long leash to be a starter in the National Football League. Okay. And he's going to. He's got some nice weapons around him. Starting with Brock Bowers of course. Better offensive line as we just talked about. And we like the coach and Clem Kubiak, we like the coach quite a bit. Right. All of that said, Fernando Mendoza is not somebody who runs. Right. So he's going to have to beat you with his arm. And then you think about what's the offense that Clint Kubiak's going to beat like as good. Sam Darnold was unbelievable last year, right? Sam Darnold was amazing. Wasn't a top 12 fantasy quarterback.
- [15:38]
C
They run the ball.
- [15:39]
A
That is exactly right. Seattle Seahawks last year, in a year in which everything went right for the Seahawks, the Raiders would sign up for that season six ways till Sunday. They were 32nd in pass rate. Last year they were 29th in pass attempts. Clint Kubiak, what he wants to do, they're going to try to play good defense and they're going to just run the ball. They want to run the ball with Ashton Genty, set up play action. Like they don't have a great wide receiver room around. You know, I mean like, you know,
- [16:08]
B
so by Jalen Naylor right now you
- [16:11]
C
need Jack Crash to take a step forward a year.
- [16:14]
A
Yeah. And I mean I don't think they're done. I think they'll probably add a veteran or two. That's probably still out there. Right. But just feels like. It just feels like Brock Bauer is going to get a million targets. But the other thing is, is that they're going to want to hide Fernando Mendoza and just that even in full success, which is would be Sam Darnold last year. He's just not somebody that I think is going to be. He's going to be a QB2. I guess at least in the near future. It would be my argument here. We got Brian Hickman 3612. Right. Mendoza spent 24 hours in the Raiders and started dropping F bomb. Exactly. All right.
- [16:50]
B
And we got it right here.
- [16:51]
A
All right.
- [17:10]
C
I love that like the voice inflection didn't change. He just added a curse word.
- [17:14]
A
Yeah. Yeah.
- [17:16]
B
How much you Think he tensed up to say that? Or is it just a situation where he'd been holding it in for like in the national or was it the Big Ten championship game? Oh, one of those post game interview. Yeah.
- [17:28]
A
Do you think, do you think because he doesn't seem like he curses at all. Do you think he practice it? Do you think like he's in the mirror getting in the mirror. He's just like, let effing go. No, no, no. Let's effing go.
- [17:38]
C
Emphasize the F word.
- [17:40]
A
Let's effing go. All right, hang on, let me, let
- [17:42]
B
me play with it.
- [17:43]
A
Let's effing go.
- [17:44]
B
I can see the auto. Auto. Not without that one bit.
- [17:47]
A
Yeah, he's just kind of playing around with it. He's just testing it in the mirror. Like should I do with a fist? Do I do a thumbs up? Do I do a point? Do I do nothing? Like, you know, like he's just practicing, just trying it all out. Just trying to, you know, he landed it. He landed the point.
- [17:59]
B
Now he already Las Vegas. Connor, if you had to guess, we all know nothing. What week does.
- [18:06]
C
I wish he was starting week one. It does not feel like that's going to happen. Let's go with when's there. Well, we don't full schedules. I'll say week six.
- [18:14]
B
Yeah, I was going to say week seven.
- [18:16]
C
Cousins doesn't have a ton left in the tank. He doesn't move well so he unfortunately could get hurt. And also it's just like Mendoza is going to give you a shot in the arm, right. What if they start out a little flat and it's like you got this kid on the bench, this kid could be special.
- [18:29]
B
Then you run for a touchdown.
- [18:31]
C
Right? Yeah, I'll go week six.
- [18:32]
A
I mean, I think it'll depend sort of how the season goes. Right. Because like, I mean think about last year. Like they did not want to start Jackson dart as soon as they did, but it just got to a point where they had to because it looked
- [18:41]
C
great when they did.
- [18:42]
A
Right. They were losing the fan base. They were losing the locker room.
- [18:45]
C
Yeah, that's a big part of it too.
- [18:46]
A
So that's part of it. But I will just say if I have to throw a dart, I will say the week after they played Denver, like get them through the first Denver game so he doesn't have to face off defense. And then you're like, okay, now he's got some time before he's got it because that's the best defense in that division. So I Think just getting him through, you know, let Cousins again unless it's. It comes out late but there we go.
- [19:06]
B
All right, back to the super flex rookie rinks. Number five on your list, Matthew Makai Lemon Connor. Is this, is this another steal by the Eagles? We know it's a sign that A.J. brown is up and out of here but is this another, you know, one of those damn. Why did we let Makai Lemon get to the Eagles?
- [19:26]
C
No, it's just right. This is exactly where I had Makai Lemon in big board range. I think he's going to be a good NFL slot receiver built to funnel all your targets through in the offense. He doesn't have to do that here because when they trade A.J. brown you always say this Lawrence Devontae Smith is so good and people almost forget that. But this is good for Makai Lemon more in a real football world where he could play the slot. He's the number two. He's not going to draw number one matchups. The biggest question I have Matthew is they now need to be a more rhythm based offense.
- [19:56]
A
Sure.
- [19:56]
C
Makai Lemon is a and even their second round pick Eli Stowers, you know, timing based detailed routes, toughness through the middle ball out. I don't think Mikhail Emon has the speed where okay it's we're on second number four, five, six now he needs to run away from coverage over and over again. So I'm fascinated to see how the offense looks under Sean Manion, the new play caller.
- [20:16]
A
Do you think by the way with the, you know, so they brought back Dallas Goddard on a one year deal. They get Stowers as you mentioned here and I've seen this floated out there by a couple of people online as well. So not my original thought. I apologize is who I thought saw this first but just seeing how many tight ends were drafted overall we talked about Oscar Delp and start. We just you know we made, we made fun of Marlon Klein, Marvin Klein, Marlon Klein. But when you see all these tight ends going in the first couple of rounds do you think teams are looking more to go like you know two tight ends, a lot of 12 set, a lot of 12 set personnel that you're just going to see that more and more and more and that you've got a, you know I'm you know simplifying it here but basically in a lot of places you've got here's our blocking guy, here's our move tight end kind of feels so feels a little bit that like that here as well as we Think about sort of how this Philadelphia offense, you know, kind of evolves.
- [21:09]
C
We saw him both ways in the draft. Right. The jets took Sadiq early to be more of the move guy to Mason Taylor. We're talking about Stowers. Well, Goddard's there. Goddard could block. Stowers is the move guy. And then it went the opposite way, where we're laughing at how early guys like Klein and Will Kaczmarek and Max. Claire and Matt. Yeah, right. Like, but like, you look at them playing on the line of scrimmage where Claire is also a move guy. So everybody's chasing the version of the tight end they don't have, and they're willing to pay a premium to get that.
- [21:36]
A
Yeah. And so to the point of Makai Lemon, I agree with you in that, you know, better real life player than fantasy player, but I have him fifth on my list here because I'm believing in the talent. Talent. I'm believing in Howie Roseman and I'm believing that ultimately, when you think about who else they have there. So looks like AJ Brown is going to be a patriot, you know, given all the reporting. Right. So he moves off and obviously this draft pick solidifies the feelings there. You've got Hollywood Brown, you know, I don't think he's long for this team. They traded for Don Tavian Wicks. Okay, great. Sure, we like Don Tavian Wicks, but like, Don Tavian Wicks has never been a. A guy that you count on one or two. Not a one or two. He's really nice depth, and so is Makai Lemon. Is there a scenario where Makai Lemon is their number two wide receiver as early as this year? Potentially. Now, again, they've got a lot of mouths to feed, so I think he's going to be a better real life player than fantasy asset. But, like, long term, you could certainly see him being a bigger part of this offense.
- [22:31]
B
Speaking of good real life wide receivers, you got another one. Up next, Matthew, at one of your schools, Texas A and M. Yes, sir. Casey Concepcion in a receiver room headed by Jerry Judy at the moment.
- [22:45]
A
Yeah, no, I know. And I know that, like, you know, Andrew Barry and the staff there was like, no, no, no. We still believe in Jerry Jeudy and. Sure you do. Sure, sure. Janep and I think is just a really good fit for this offense. When you think about Todd Monkin and you think about some of the stuff that Todd Monken did in Baltimore with Zay Flowers, some of the gadgety stuff, manufacturing touches, using his speed, getting creative, getting him into space. Like that's what Casey Concepcion can do, right? He is unbelievably fast. He's somebody that carried the ball in college at my Texas A and M University. Giga Maggies. So just a really talented player on a team that needs to generate offense, that has a, has a solid offensive line, has a really good defense, has a good run game. We've got question marks at quarterback. So can you figure out, can you get talent where if you just get the ball in their hands, they can do a lot more? And so I think that's the idea here with Concepcion, whose talent I love.
- [23:37]
C
Connor, I totally agree with you with Concepcion. I have some questions as just a total wide receiver, but when he goes with Todd Monken it's like, oh, Todd Monken knows exactly how to use this guy. You said it, Matthew. Look at, he had a ton of carries at NC State and then he goes to A M and he's still a versatile kind of player. I actually liked Denzel Boston, the other receiver they took better just as a pure wide receiver. But I think they complement each other so well. We're in fantasy. Concepcion is going to get more manufactured looks and more short area looks. So it's hard to disagree with the ranking here as much as Boston should catch more touchdowns and play more on the perimeter. But yeah, I mean it's just, it's comforting that Todd Monkin knows how to use this skill set because it's not a, hey, go play the X and run down the field or go run a 10 yard out or anything like that. You need to be creative with Concepcion to maximize his ability.
- [24:24]
A
And the other argument here in terms of just from a fantasy perspective, I hear you on Boston, but because the manufactured touches and also, you know, draft capital matters, it shouldn't, you know, field, but it is real. And so with the fact that, you know, the fact that the Cleveland Browns in this new regime, you know, under Todd Monken use a first round pick on Casey Concepcion sort of tells you how they think about him. And as you sort of look at that wide receiver room, so we make jokes about, you know, Jerry Judy and of course club set is always open. Cedric Tillman is there. We like Harold Fannin there as well, Connor, but. But they don't have anyone in the wide receiver room like him. There's arguments, there's other people that could compete with Boston that maybe aren't as good as Boston. But you know what, I'm just saying, I just feel like he's unique in that room.
- [25:12]
B
Connor I would argue that the Seahawks don't have anybody else in their running back room like this guy. Jadarian price, picked number 32 overall, now gets a chance to finally, you know, compete to be a lead back.
- [25:27]
C
Jadarian Price. I mean I saw his offensive rookie of the year odds. I believe it's plus 750. Yeah, I'd be on it. Jadarian Price, he is incredibly talented. He's got big playability, he's a really gifted zone scheme runner. He's got natural feel. Notre Dame didn't use him in the past game, but in workouts leading up to the draft he showed teams he can catch the ball and they did use him as a pass protector which he was good in. Notre Dame did a great job coaching up him and Jeremiah, Jeremiah 11 pass where he can get on the field on third downs which is typically really hard for rookies. So if I was betting on a guy from this list to outperform his ranking and of course there's risk with it, it would be Jadarian Price because I believe in the talent, that runaway talent. But he did go to the place that he has opportunity, which is always the hard thing with running backs taken outside the top 20 picks.
- [26:14]
A
Again, talent and opportunity. And so that's the question for you and sounds like you're sold on the talent. I know some of the evaluators don't love him because they're like never had more than 125 touches at you know, at Notre Dame and you know he was. But again he had Jeremiah Love in the back, you know he was competing, competing with there. But like to me what I love about the landing spot here is that we talked about Lawrence and I talked about this the other night with Jay but you know Zach Sharbourday, right, has the ACL surgery in February. There's a chance that he's not back to a week 12, 13, 14, 15 like towards the end of the season. And is he fully back all the way?
- [26:55]
C
Could be over, right?
- [26:56]
A
Price, Price could take the take this job and no pun intended, run with it. At worst he's going to have half this backfield. We already saw Ken Walker be fantasy productive in a, in half of a backfield with Charbonnet, the two of them going back and forth and so the team is ready made. It's a team that wants to run the ball, that has a good defense, that wants to have their running back be heavily involved. And so again look, I have it running back seven. I'm at seven Overall, it's a weak draft class, just generally for fantasy, but I do think he landed in possibly the best spot for him.
- [27:29]
C
I think so, too.
- [27:30]
B
Connor. Oh, before Connor, we got cryptic. Would you take Jadarian Price over Lemon in a Dynasty draft for a running back, needy team?
- [27:43]
C
Yes. Yeah, but not even close. Yes, you need a running back. Take Jadarian Price. He's good enough to warrant that.
- [27:49]
A
Yeah. I will say in general, with Dynasty, I mean, it depends on when you say running back needy team. What I would say in general is running back needy team if you're trying to win this year. I mean, again, Dynasty is about, you know, thinking about long term and everything like that. So if you are. So it's. I would only take him again. I have limit at 5. I price at 7, so I'm fairly close. So I have no problem taking Price over Lemon, especially if that's a better fit for your team. My only thing is, is that I don't want you to think about like, oh, well, I'm going to need somebody, you know, in three years. Like, to me, in Dynasty especially, I'm very much kind of best player available. Unless you are basically right there to win and you just need one, one additional piece. Otherwise, it's just best player available. Because running backs come in the league and, you know, you can always make a trade, you know, to a team that's rebuilding to get a. To get a piece to get you there. So Dynasty is the one place where I am mostly position agnostic when you're building a team, with the exception of quarterback and super flex.
- [28:48]
B
All right, the best available player to the jets at 16, Connor was Kenyon Sadiq. I think you had him going 14 to the Ravens. So not far off there, but now he lands on your Jets. How do they use them there?
- [29:00]
C
That's the golden question. What does Frank Reich have left in the tank as a play caller is what everybody wants to see. Now, the positive for Kenyon Sadiq, and if you're. If you're playing tight end premium, obviously he's going to be very, very interesting to you. We're just doing standard super flex in this spot, is that he's one of the number two options in this offense. Obviously, Garrett Wilson is the clear number one. And then you have Sadiq, Omar Cooper, Adnai Mitchell and Breece hall getting targets. But guys, what stands out to me with Sadiq is, is that Geno, when Brock Bowers was healthy last year, Geno got Brock Bowers the ball.
- [29:32]
A
Yes.
- [29:32]
C
Sadiq is not Brock Bowers because nobody is Brock Bowers. But he is a dynamic athlete that is a pass catcher first before blocker. It's just on Frank Reich and that's the part where you're like, do we trust Frank Reich? And nobody was more excited in the draft room than Frank Reich. He was going nuts when they got Sadiq. So hopefully he has a real plan for him. But that's the unknown in all this because he's a unique player.
- [29:51]
A
Yeah, we talked about this. You know, I shed, I shed a tear for my Mason Taylor dynasty shares.
- [29:57]
C
Oh, it's over.
- [29:57]
A
Yeah, it's. I shed a tear and then I drafted.
- [30:01]
C
Yeah, he's gonna block and be good at it, right?
- [30:03]
B
Exactly.
- [30:04]
A
But I moved getting five, six, seven targets a game. Those are gone. So. Yeah. And then second tier. When Omar Cooper got drafted, it was very sad. But in terms of Sadiq, again, we sort of look at, we look at draft capital, we look at opportunity here. We think Geno is going to be better than people think. I don't know that you necessarily want Gino as your fantasy quarterback unless you're in a two quarterback league and you punt on the position the way Lawrence always does in the league of assholes. But generally speaking, what I'm saying is that to your point, like he's got to beat up like Omar Cooper in terms for targets. And you're right, Reich likes him. They took him ahead of Cooper and they traded in to get Cooper. We'll talk about that in a little bit. But Sadiq has a. He was clearly, he was clearly the best athletic prospect at the tight end position in this year's draft of almost all time.
- [30:49]
C
Yeah, it's like him and Vernon Davis in a bucket together.
- [30:51]
A
Right.
- [30:52]
C
So.
- [30:52]
B
But he got wheels.
- [30:53]
C
Yeah.
- [30:54]
B
Barry Batsheu, man, this is working out perfectly to your second college team right here. Your number ninth ranked player here, Ty Simpson. This was the most shocking pick by far. On night one of the NFL draft, he lands with the Rams, gets to learn behind Stanford, Matthew Stafford. How do you see his dynasty prospects going?
- [31:13]
A
Yeah, roll. Ty. Ty Simpson could not have landed in a better spot for his long term dynasty prospects. Which is why I'm at nine. I have as a first rounder in a super flex league, I think in a number of spots Simpson goes. And he's not a first rounder in super flex dynasty because you're like, well there were questions about his development, there's questions whether he can be a starting quarterback in the NFL, a franchise guy, but the fact that the Rams take him the fact that the Rams take him at 13, the fact that he's going to learn behind Stafford, there's no pressure. This is like a perfect scenario for him to learn from, you know, the MVP who, by the way, turned 38 in February. So if Stafford has one year left, maybe he's got two, but probably doesn't have three. And so Simpson's going to learn in a Sean McVay offense where he's going to get to continue to grow with. With. With Puka Nakua, with Colby Parkinson, with their 8 billion other tight ends that they drafted.
- [32:04]
C
Max Claire, the newest one of the
- [32:06]
B
Bucks, not nine deep right there.
- [32:08]
A
I mean, it's unbelievable, right? Davis, Allen, they got them all. But I just think. I just think from a development standpoint, in terms of an organizational. It just. It takes the pressure off of him. Like, had he gone to the jets, had he gone to some of the other places where he was mocked, where he might have gotten rushed into service before he was ready.
- [32:24]
C
It's very Jordan Love esque of development, of you're not even gonna. Unless Stafford gets hurt, which we hope he doesn't have. You're not even thinking about Ty Simpson for a while, right?
- [32:32]
B
Yeah.
- [32:32]
C
So he's gonna compete with Stetson Bennett
- [32:34]
A
for the qbc, for the number two. Right.
- [32:35]
B
And yeah, it didn't seem like champion Stetson.
- [32:38]
A
It didn't seem like McVay was, you know, fully on board with this all that.
- [32:41]
C
But fascinating.
- [32:42]
B
They are now.
- [32:44]
A
That's exactly right. At the end of the day, like, he's in the building and Sean McVay is a players coach. He'll coach him up and he'll work with him and do the best he can. And again, there's no question there. No one's gonna be asking, like, well, when are we seeing Ty Simpson? Like, that's that conversation.
- [32:58]
C
Throws a pick and a chance for Ty Simpson.
- [33:00]
B
It would be really bad if they were. If we were doing that right now. Connor, a player, a wide receiver.
- [33:06]
A
Do you agree with that assessment on Simpson? Did you come as your number two quarterback?
- [33:09]
C
Yeah, but, you know, somebody had to be, right?
- [33:11]
B
Yeah, he should. He should be.
- [33:13]
C
He was.
- [33:14]
B
Connor, a player you were banging the table for, and I think you would have been okay if the jets took him at 16.
- [33:19]
C
Yeah, that's where I had him.
- [33:20]
B
They got him at 30. Omar Cooper out of Indiana. How do you see him fitting in after we just talked about Kenya Sadiq?
- [33:27]
C
So this one, I think gets mixed up with Omar Cooper. He is a good slot receiver. He was A good slot receiver for the national title winning Indiana offense. But in 2024 he averaged over 21 yards per reception while mostly playing outside. So I don't think he's going to get pigeonholed. They're going to like to use him in the slot because he's so good after the catch. But he will play outside as well where you could still have Sadiq on the field. You could still get Garrett Wilson reps in the slot as well. So Cooper, I don't know how fantasy relevant he'll be as a rookie because there's now it's weird to say with the jets so many mouths to feed but I like the players talent and in Dynasty you're betting on the long term talent, not just the short term opportunity.
- [34:06]
A
Yeah, I, I mean I think that's the, that's the clear thing here. I mean I think one of the write ups, one of the write ups we had@fasylife.com was like destined to be a number two wide receiver in the NFL and not said as a.
- [34:17]
C
No, that's a compliment.
- [34:18]
A
Yeah, it just like really solid and now he gets to be literally a number two wide receiver in the NFL whether he's the number two or number three pass catcher. We think this offense is going to be competent. I don't know that it's going to be great, Connor.
- [34:29]
C
But like and it be mediocre because it wasn't last year.
- [34:31]
A
Can it be mediocre? As Jay said on Friday night, can it be good adjacent? Right. And like I think it's.
- [34:38]
B
That's another word for mediocre.
- [34:40]
A
Yeah, it's, it's in the neighborhood. It's, it's, it's not in the good neighborhood but it's like it's on the outskirts.
- [34:45]
B
You don't suck.
- [34:46]
A
Yeah, exactly.
- [34:47]
C
There's really no excuses. The offensive line is, is loaded with draft picks. They have multiple capable pass catchers. Say what you want about Geno, but going from Brady Cook to Geno is such an astronomical jump. We don't want the jets, we don't need the jets to be a great or good offense but just good enough where you care about the players that they're rostering on the skill spots.
- [35:09]
B
Some games develop the young guys. Matthew, you got two Cleveland rookie receivers. How lucky to have within this top 12. The other one though, Denzel Boston who went in the second round, different style of player than KC Concepcion. How do you see him working out with the Browns?
- [35:27]
A
Well listen, Connor sort of hinted at this earlier when we were talking About KC Concepcion that like Boston will catch more touch touchdowns, right? 6, 4, 2 12. Like he's a big bodied like Mike Evans type. Is that a decent comp there?
- [35:37]
C
You reminded me a little bit of show favorite Michael Thomas.
- [35:39]
A
Okay, there you go.
- [35:43]
B
You say you're going to catch some slant.
- [35:46]
A
Slant Boy V2 can't guard Denzel. Look, Cleveland wide receivers last year combined for four receiving touchdowns. Four. Some of that was because they used Fannin and Joku so much in the red zone. But. But still the fact of the matter is is they need to get more production from that position.
- [36:01]
C
That's a Dylan Gabriel stat.
- [36:03]
A
Right. But whether it's. Whether it's Shadow Sanders or. Or Deshaun Watson or Dylan Gabriel or somebody else. Green Taylor Greene for Dalen Green for, for the Cleveland Browns. Like getting a big bodied, you know, a Mark Andrews type if you will for this Todd Monk in offense. Obviously I know wide receiver versus tight end but like just think about how Monkin likes to run his offense. Boston should be a red zone threat and not a lot of competition with, you know, Judy Tillman and the like.
- [36:34]
B
Back to you, Matthew. On Antonio Williams, your number 12 ranked player here.
- [36:40]
A
That one Commander's Hell victory.
- [36:41]
B
Yeah, yeah. I love it here. I give him two claps right here. Thank you, sir. He could possibly compliment Scary Terry. Well, how do you see him working out there? And Washington?
- [36:52]
A
Yeah, I mean they needed some help here, right? Traylon Burks, Diamond Brown, Luke McCaffrey. That's the receiving room after Terry McLaurin who turns 31 this year as well, was injured a little bit last year. They need some help for Jayden Daniels. They're in the rumor mill for Brandon Aiyuk. I think you could probably see a reunion there between him and Jayden Daniels, but right now and Tony Williams who profiles as a slot guy here, tough player. Again, talent plus opportunity. I think this is. I don't want to put this kind of pressure on him, but when you think about this David Blough offense which is basically going to be a Ben Johnson offense and Tony Williams could play the Amon Ross St. Brown role in this offense. I'm not saying he's Amon Ross St. Brown, but like that's the role in this offense.
- [37:33]
C
I think he's the candidate on this list to be the slot merchant. A lot of targets good after the catch. Really good hands. You mentioned it, Matthew. He is tough as hell. This is a great fit with Jaden Daniels. I think these two are going to mesh together really well. I think he's going to be their number two receiver. The other guys in the depth chart, he's just better than them and they'll realize that by August.
- [37:51]
B
We like it. Hey folks, more draft reaction coming your way with other players that caught our attention later in the draft. Coming up next, The NBA playoffs continue to roll on NBC and Peacock this week with a jam packed schedule. Tonight it all starts with the number one seed Pistons trying to bounce back against the magic, followed by SGA and OKC hunting for the sweep at 9:30. Wolves Nuggets is your nightcap at 10:30 and it's all on NBC in Peacock.
- [38:30]
C
That was nice.
- [38:31]
A
Like a young Conor Rogers out there.
- [38:33]
B
I've been watching the film. Yeah, I've been watching a little Connor Rogers, Jay Croucher film, Lawrence Connor Jackson.
- [38:40]
A
Yeah, I like it.
- [38:41]
B
Yeah, that's what you go name your son too. That already is locked in, especially after this episode. Folks, we got more draft reactions here. Players we like on the second and third day of the draft because we like, we. Who knows who could be the next, you know, Puka Naku or anything like that.
- [38:58]
C
Kyle Manung guy.
- [38:59]
B
Kyle Manunga, seventh round pick right there and he's one of the better players in fantasy. Now Matthew, who do you like? Oh, let's go with it again. Back to Alabama.
- [39:09]
A
That's right.
- [39:10]
B
Roll time back to Bama.
- [39:11]
A
Jeremy Bernard. And not just because he went to Alabama, not because I drafted in my dynasty league thanks to Connor, but merely because of the landing spot as well. So he goes to Pittsburgh. Obviously you've got Pittman and Metcalf on the outside, but he's going to be the slot guy. And shout out to my buddy Scott Barrett who I trashed in the earlier segment. But I want to, I want to, but I got to give, I'm going to give some love to Scott Barrett who has tweeted this out. He said something to the effect of like here's, here's the tweet. Mike McCarthy primary slight wide receiver, has finished top 10 in fantasy points per game in 7 of his last 13 full seasons of NFL head coaching here as well. So that's Scott at Scott Barrett, DFB. He pulled this one. And so you think about 2010, 2011 where Greg Jennings was wide receiver nine both years, 2013, 2014. Think about Randall Cobb who's a top 10 wide receiver for the packers. And then, and then you got CD Lamb. I'm not saying Jeremy Bernard is Ceedee Lamb, but what I am saying is that he's a talented slot Wide receiver on a team that's likely going to have a quarterback in Aaron Rodgers that has a very low average depth of target, that's going to throw near the side, near the, near the line of scrimmage here as well. And so he'll compete for Michael with Michael Pittman here. But just given that this is the first wide receiver of the Mike McCarthy era, Conor, kind of like Bernard.
- [40:24]
C
I love Jeremy Bernard and I'll tell you who I think he is. I thought he was Jacoby Myers. That's what you're reminding me of. But you're right, Matthew. The beauty of this is that he plays on the inside for this team to a quarterback that doesn't want to throw the ball down the field. And when Ty Simpson, you know, was panicked at times this year when guys were dropping passes and he was under pressure, he looked for Jeremy Bernard, which spoke volumes to me. So this guy will go over the middle of the field, he'll block his ass off. They gave him jet sweeps. Love the player.
- [40:49]
B
Yeah, very versatile player. A guy I like, fellas, is Chris Bell with the Miami Dolphins now out of Louisville. Interesting thing about him, big receiver, big strong receiver. Right. Mostly plays on the outside, but he plays almost 21% of his snaps from the slots. So we know he's versatile. The interesting thing here is guys, 54 of his 72 catches last year came from nine yards or below. So we know he could run with the ball. But here's the thing. The year before that when he played with Tyler Schutt, who has a much bigger arm, he averaged 17 yards of catch. And when you look at the Dolphins wide receiver depth chart, they're looking for Caleb Douglas, their other third round receiver drafted, and Chris Bale. They're going to be looking for them, both of those guys to play early. So I like Chris Bale. He was a guy they gave like late first round talk to had he not tore the acl.
- [41:43]
A
That's the issue, right?
- [41:44]
B
Yeah, you'll just have to be patient with that look for him later in the season. Who do you like? Connor.
- [41:49]
C
Man, that's a great call on Chris Bell. They got him on a discount. I'm always now looking for that Kyle Menon guy. And this guy has more name power and hype power. But he still fell in the draft in Jonah Coleman. Jonah Coleman to me was the second round running back prospect. His highest end outcome. Reminds me of Josh Jacobs. Can he be a Kyron Williams kind of a player? And he goes to Denver where you're not really afraid of the guys around him with Jonah Coleman, we like J.K. dobbins, but J.K. dobbins gets hurt all the time. RJ Harvey, he's just a totally different kind of player. He's not going to be that tough runner between the tackles that Denver really needed. And you look at Denver, they've ranked top 10 and running back fantasy points in two of their three seasons under Sean Payton. So you want to buy into their backfield, but the question is who? Jonah Coleman. I think in November and December, guys, we'll be talking about him a lot.
- [42:32]
A
Yeah, I think that's a great call because I do think people will be scared off because they have so many running backs in Denver. But to me, re signing J.K. dobbins and then drafting Jonah Coleman where they did sort of tells me like I think they're a little out on RJ
- [42:46]
C
Harvey or at least losing confidence.
- [42:48]
A
Losing confidence or just wanting more depth. And so it's easy to see a path where over the second half of the year we're talking talking about Jonah Coleman. Speaking of running backs that don't have an immediate path. But since we're talking dynasty, how about Nicholas Singleton from Penn State? Tajie Spears, Tony Pollard, they're both set to be free agents after this season. So Singleton comes into a young offense here again as they reshape, as they reshape this Tennessee Titans offense. Right. Again, new Brian Daboll. Like this is the first running back that Brian Daboll has selected, obviously. And so when you think about the success he had with Cam Scatter Boo or Tyrone Tracy as well, like, this is somebody who likes to take running backs. And again, Pollard and Spears aren't his guys. Nicholas Singleton is his guy and I think you could see him be the starter running back for the Titans next season.
- [43:33]
B
Yeah, guys, when I look at this Chargers receiving depth chart, I see a lot of young players and they're just trying to figure out who that guy is. Right. We think it's slab McConkey. He went a little bit over a thousand yards, but he didn't necessarily blow you away. Right, but he's their guy. But they got Quentin Johnston, they've drafted him recently. Trey Harris, Keandre Lambert, Smith. And now enter Brennan Thompson out of Mississippi State. About 591-65-1, tank down size. Yeah. The difference with him though, this is an outside receiver, folks. This is not a guy who played in the slot. He has a unbelievably easy time getting, getting his releases off. Only played 13 1/2% of his snaps in the slots, and he led the SEC in receiving yards. So I think with him being a deep threat, with him being explosive, we know Justin Herbert's been dying to throw that deep ball for the past couple of years. If he could start getting some reps and being dependable for Herbert, we could start calling his name soon.
- [44:35]
A
Let me get this straight. So Mike McDaniel drafted a guy that runs a 4264 NASA's at the combine. Interesting. Interesting.
- [44:42]
C
He was going in the war room, too. I think he told him to take his shirt off when he called him.
- [44:48]
A
This is a Mike McDaniel draft pick if you've ever saw one. Speed upon speed upon speed. Again, new offense coordinator. So really like it. Again, other than lad McConkey, you don't. You feel like it's a little bit open there. They don't get the production out of Trey Harris that they would have liked to last year as well. So Brendan Thompson's really interesting, as is Cyrus Allen Conner.
- [45:06]
C
Cyrus Allen, one of the most inexplicable combine snubs. Doesn't make sense. This guy was awesome for Cincinnati. He caught 13 touchdowns. He was beating everybody at the Senior Bowl. I don't know what he needed to do, but obviously the NFL picked up on this because wasn't invited to combine. But still taken at 176, taking in the top 200 players. He gets open. That's what matters. He's a really good athlete that gets open. And he gets open at an alarming rate in the red zone. That's why he caught 13 touchdowns. There's a world for me. You look at this Chiefs depth chart, right? You have Rasheed Rice, obviously, Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royles. I mean, outside of Rice, when he's on the field, Cyrus Allen could end up being their number three receiver before. You know, I think he's that good. I do. And I think Patrick Mahomes will realize that, too. And I know Mahomes is very into the NFL draft. Some veteran players are like, okay, the team Mahomes is involved in Kansas City. I'm not saying he made this pick, but when they take a receiver, you catch your eye and go, hmm, I think the quarterback probably liked that player a lot. I think they'll have pretty good chemistry.
- [46:04]
A
I know he advocated really strongly for Rasheed Rice.
- [46:07]
C
He absolutely did.

And it feels like Xavier Worthy took a step back last last year as well. This is likely Travis Kelsey's last season as well. So as we talk about Dynasty Cyrus Allen becomes really, really interesting. Last guy for me here. How about Jacoby Lane? Again? Like, we just talk about. We talk about Baltimore after Zay Flowers, all due respect, we like Rashad Bateman, friend of the show. But, you know, whether it's Tez Walker and they. And they got Eli Sarat as well, right? Thin there, but they are thin. Like, there's a non zero chance that the number two wide receiver for Lamar Jackson this year is Jacoby lane. You know, 6, 4, 200 pounds. Gives him a big target for Lamar again, Mark Andrews. We'll see how many more years he has to play. But I love the pick of Jacoby Lane in the landing spot in Baltimore.

B
I definitely think they're going to let Jacoby Lane and Elijah Surratt. They're going to let those two.
- [46:54]
A
Yep.
- [46:55]
B
Because they just be like, who's that guy that we could just throw to in the end zone when we're in the red zone? The last guy for me here. What was your.
- [47:03]
A
I was going to ask about Ted Hurst.
- [47:04]
B
I'm going to tell you about Lil. Ted Hurst. Ted Hurst from Georgia, actually.
- [47:07]
A
Yes, sir.
- [47:08]
B
Former D2 player, went to Georgia State and Atlanta, but now he's in Tampa Bay, where Tampa Bay ranks second in cumulative wide receiver target share at 76%. So we know Baker loves to throw the ball. We know Mike Evans is in San Francisco now. I think this is the guy who they're going to look to to make that big, acrobatic catch. He's not the most elusive, but he can run after the catch as well when you hit him. Intermediate, so. And we know Tampa Bay will let their young receivers play. That's the key here. So I don't think it'll be like, you know, you know, rookie, you got to earn your spot. He. He's going to earn it, you know, and I think he could end up finding a role because they need that type of receiver. He's a different player than a mecca. Buca small school.
- [47:51]
C
George Pickens is what I wrote down. How is it going to look against a higher level of competition? That remains to be seen. But what he did at Georgia State, in the air in contested catch situations. And after the catch, you said it's small school. George Pickens. I'm excited to see Ted Hurst.
- [48:04]
B
Yes, sir.
- [48:05]
A
By the way, we have a surprise for the regulars when we come back, by the way, so everyone stick around.

C
The Crown is yours.
- [48:34]
B
Your it's indeed yours. And here we are folks. Last call. Offensive rookie of the year odds. No shock to see Jeremiah Love as the favorite here trail by Fernando Mendoza. Then we got the defensive rookie of the year odds David Bailey. The Connors New York Jets Ruben Bane not far behind that plus 550 there.
- [48:59]
A
So you know Sonny Styles is winning this thing.
- [49:02]
B
He just might. He just need a couple of interception. Fellas. I'm going to go with Jadari and Price. Connor, I love this pick earlier. Plus if Jeremiah loves plus 250 price plus 750. I want to go with a guy who's on a little bit better team, has a little bit better situational offense and I know he could get those touches. Connor, who you got?
- [49:22]
C
I got Caleb Downs at plus 750. Right. I thought he was the best defender in this. He's going to have the star on his helmet. He's going to play on a ton of big time games. He's going to get all that intention and I think honestly the ball is going to find him at the next level. I think he'll force enough takeaways to be in the mix for this award.
- [49:37]
A
Yeah. Give me Jordan. Jordan Tyson right at plus 600. I see again like if planet can go to a quarterback I think rookie of the year is going to go to a skilled player. And then you see the Saints knocking on the door making a playoff run. I bet you think you think about that division. I think they could get to the playoffs if he stays healthy and he has a big year. Is that offense especially if Love struggles on a Cardinals team. Even if Love has big numbers but the Cardinals don't do anything. I think justif Tyson's a big star for a team that makes the playoffs after a drought here give me Jordan Tyson at +600. All right, here's the exciting news that I was promising for all the regulars. Shout out Jonathan Medici who's setting up a Discord server for us to see if the regs are interested in joining. We are going on hiatus here in a couple of weeks. Weeks. And so until we can be back with you as well. Everyone join the Discord. I'll be in there. Producer Damien's already in the jump in and talk with you guys. So that's the.
