Dave
The NFL draft is just about a week away and it seems like most NFL draft content out there is either way too deep or just completely useless. Today, Joey Wright and I, we are finding that middle ground. We're going to talk about every single single team. We're going to talk about the picks that they have, the needs that they have. And one player that we would really like to see there for fantasy football purposes. Joey, let's just go ahead and jump right in. We've got a lot to discuss here. We're going to go through these alphabetically. Let's start talking about the Arizona Cardinals. They have the third overall pick. In addition to that, they have a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh, all of their picks in this year's draft. They need a quarterback. They need some offensive line help. They need a little bit of help on the defense as well. One pick that I would like to see there, Joey, and this is maybe a bit of a spicy one. Taylor Green, quarterback out of Arkansas. It could be fun, right?
- [02:01]
Joey Wright
No, it makes a lot of sense. You know, Arizona says that they're set with Jacoby Brissette for 2026. And I agree that with that. I think Brissette would be a really nice bridge quarterback to bring Taylor Green on. Yeah. For him to learn under, essentially. I love that.
- [02:17]
Dave
Yeah. And you know, they have that second round pick. They might use that on Ty Simpson if he's available early in the second round. But Taylor Green, just for the fun, you know, this is a guy who would be a cheat code in fantasy football. It would be a little bit of a departure from the typical LaFleur Hackett type of quarterback that we have seen in this system, but fun and that's what we are ultimately looking for in fantasy football.

So please, if you haven't left a review already, please go ahead and do that. Joey Onto the next team again. Working through these alphabetically, the Atlanta Falcons, their picks, they have a second round pick, third round pick, fourth, sixth and seventh. They do not hold a first round pick in this year's draft. Biggest need is probably wide receiver. They don't have a lot of depth behind Drake London, but they also need some help on the defensive line. My pick here that I think would be fun is Zachariah Branch. You know they've got these big bodied receivers in Drake London and Kyle Pitts. A guy like Zachariah Branch, he can kind of feast on those underneath routes. Being after the catch guy and then playing college at Georgia, he's also got that connection where he's been living in Georgia for the last few years. So staying right, right at home in Atlanta, I think that would be a fun one.
- [03:50]
Joey Wright
Yeah. I mean the Falcons, they don't have a first round pick like you mentioned, so they're going to miss out like on that first year. So I think Zachariah Branch is like the next name that I see that makes a lot of sense for them. He could do a lot right off this line of scrimmage. So it makes a lot of sense for them. They don't need to have a true other wide receiver one with Drake Len and Kyle Pitts there. So Branch makes a lot of sense there in Atlanta.
- [04:09]
Dave
Yeah and they, they brought in Jahan Dotson and Alamede Zakias this offseason. Those to me feel like depth pieces. I mean if you bring in a guy like Zachariah Branch, still a work in Progr, but a guy who could Be a lot of fun and could be a playmaking wide receiver too. Next team, we want to talk about Baltimore Ravens. They have the 14th overall pick in round one. They also have a second, third, fourth, four fifth round picks. A sixth and two, seven. So they are flush with draft picks this year. They need major work on the offensive line after losing Tyler Lindebaum. They've also got some other pieces that are aging there. They need some wide receiver help behind Zay Flowers. They don't have a lot of depth there. Edge defensive line, cornerback, some things that they can fix on the defense as well. My pick here, Joey, that I think would be a lot of fun. Caitrin Allen. You know, this is a guy who does early down work, goal line work. Derek Henry, going into his age 32 season, I could see maybe the changing of the guard finally start to happen this year if they draft a guy like Caitron Allen.
- [05:04]
Joey Wright
Yeah, Allen makes a lot of sense there. If they're wanting to see like just let's ride Henry into the ground. We know two years Henry's got left on the contract. So I like Allen there. But you know, you mentioned wide receiver and I want to shout out our rookie guide. Something our rookie guy brought up was Denzel Boston. Being there for the Ravens. Probably they have to go round two to probably get him. I think he'd be a fantastic fit. Somebody to kind of offset Zay Flowers a little bit. Makes a lot of sense to me.
- [05:30]
Dave
And a big bodied receiver that plays a very different game than Rashad Bateman. Bateman can kind of be that deep threat. We could have Denzel Boston working outside, underneath a little bit more. Zay Flowers does what he does is that versatile queen on the chessboard. I could see that being a lot of fun. I like that. Call out, Joey. Next team, we're going to discuss the Buffalo Bills. They are picking 26 overall. They also have a third, fourth, two fifths, a sixth and a seventh. Major needs for them are offensive line. There's also some buzz that maybe they want to add another receiver. You know, they've invested a lot in receiver but haven't had the best luck doing so. They also need a linebacker. They've got some decent safeties there, but might look for some safety help as well. My pick here, Joey Jacoby Lane. I think this would be so much fun. We've talked about this like big physical, contested catch specialist, how this guy could thrive in a Josh Allen offense. We've seen them try. I think this kind of gives them an opportunity to re Roll the dice. You know, they. They went for it with Keon Coleman. Didn't really work out. Jacoby Lane cut from a similar cloth. I think this would be a very good complementary piece to DJ Moore.
- [06:34]
Joey Wright
Absolutely. And I think you bring up a really good point is I think DJ Moore is probably the wide receiver one there in Buffalo. So going and grabbing something like Lane, who, who played behind Makai Lemon there at usc, makes a lot of sense. Wouldn't be much of a transition for the role other than coming to the NFL. But yeah, I like that fit as well.
- [06:51]
Dave
Next team we want to talk about Carolina Panthers. They have the 19th overall pick. Also hold a second, third, fourth, two fifths and a six. So no seventh round pick, but they make up for that with an extra fifth. They have invested heavily in the offensive line, but some of those guys are on expiring contracts. They can beef up that interior just a little bit here. They also need a wide receiver behind Ted Roa McMillan. They have not shied away from drafting wide receivers early, but haven't really hit on those guys outside of McMillan. Also could use some defensive line and cornerback help as well. My favorite pick here, Joey Schuyler Bell. And this is a guy that Matt Waldman and I just talked about last week. Just a super athlete. And this is the type of guy that we have seen the Carolina Panthers front office targeting in drafts. Xavier Legat, Jonathan Mingo, we know that they have a type and I think that this is the type that they want opposite Tedro McMillan, who is that prototypical traditional X receiver. You pair him up with a guy who can do the underneath yak stuff. That's exact exactly what Skyler Bell can do. I think this would be a perfect complementary wide receiver too, to McMillan.
- [07:50]
Joey Wright
Yeah, he was a finalist for the Blitnikov Award last year. And the thing with Leggett is like I had the highest hopes for him. And at some first you mentioned Mingo as well. These athletic wide receivers are not working out for Carolina. At some point they have to. So, Right. If they take Skyler Bell, that could be the. The one that does work out for him. So I like that a lot.
- [08:07]
Dave
And I also think that Jalen Coker, taking a big step forward in his development now they don't need a real wide receiver 2. They kind of need a wide receiver 2, wide receiver 3, because Coker can do a lot of those secondary things. So I think a guy like Skyler Bell, where they can just kind of feed him touches, let him create after the catch, would be A ton of fun. Chicago Bears up next. They are picking 25th overall. They also have 2 seconds, a third, fourth and 2/7. Big needs here are offensive line, Drew Dahlman retired, Joe Tooney's getting up there in age. They need some major help on the edge as well. Not much opposite Montez Sweat who also isn't living up to that big contract extension that he got. They also need some linebacker help. I didn't mark running back as a pure position of need because they have DeAndre Swift, they have Kyle Menung guy but Joey, I can't help but think about Nick Singleton in this offense and to me I think it makes so much sense because DeAndre Swift still has a year left on his deal. Nick Singleton healing up from the broken foot. This wouldn't force him to rush into any role. He can kind of just sit on ice this year, wait for the 2027 season and I see Nick Singleton is just that perfect complimentary piece to Kyle Menungai. You've got that Lightning Thunder backfield that we have seen in so many Ben Johnson offenses. This wouldn't be a move 2026 but it sets them up for a future without DeAndre Swift. This to me would be my favorite pick if they can get Nick Singleton in round two.
- [09:27]
Joey Wright
Yeah, I actually really love this. I mentioned my father in law, he's a huge Penn State fan. So I've been hearing about Nick Singleton for quite a while now. But the last time the Bears used a second round picker better on a running back it was back in 2008 when they took Matt Forte. They've just kind of been doing dart throws and picking up, you know, veterans in the league the last few seasons to try to piece together this running back. I am ready for the Chicago Bears to have a solid RB one once again that they draft. So it's time. Singleton in Chicago. I love it.
- [09:58]
Dave
I love it as well. And you know last year we heard that Ben Johnson wanted to draft Treveon Henderson and then he wanted to draft Cam Scatter Boo. And he kept getting sniped in the draft. Bashaw Tootin was another one that was on the radar. So we saw a few years back when he was in Detroit they spent that 12th overall pick on Jameer Gibbs. They won't shy away from drafting a running back early if the right guy is there. Next team, Cincinnati Bengals. They've got the 10th overall pick as well as a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 2 6th and 2/7. Need some major offensive line help and then pretty much every single Spot on defense. So, you know, we're a fantasy football show. Joey, we want to talk about this. I don't think that they need a wide receiver. They don't need a running back. They don't need a tight end or a quarterback. But Joe Royer, I think makes a lot of sense for them. One born and raised in Cincinnati, played college at Cincinnati. He's a Bengals fan and I think he also has that kind of dual skill set where he can be that inline guy when they want to run. And then when T. Higgins inevitably has to miss games because of an injury, then Joe Royer can kind of move in and be that big slot and catch the ball as well. So I think his versatility and the hometown connection would make Joe Royer a really fun pick for the Bengals. Bengals.
- [11:04]
Joey Wright
Yeah, we've seen like, I feel like the Cincinnati Bengals are like the waiver wire team. Chase or Higgins will go down and then whoever that wide receiver option is
- [11:13]
Dave
for the Bangles step on down.
- [11:15]
Joey Wright
Yeah. Every year there's just like a plethora of wide receivers.
- [11:20]
Dave
Andre Yosovash, Tyler Boyd. I feel like it goes back so far.
- [11:25]
Joey Wright
It really does. But the tight end position has been kind of like a revolving door. They've tried with a bunch of different tight ends and nothing's really panned out the last few seasons. So bring in the hometown kid. I like it a lot. Makes a lot of sense to me. And he's a great pass catching tight end, so he fits Cincinnati well and,
- [11:40]
Dave
and pass catching and run blocking. So like when they have a healthy Chase and Higgins, they can just use him as a blocker. And then when they need that extra receiving help, he can do that. And that's kind of exactly what we saw him doing at college, was switching roles on a, on a game to game basis. Cleveland Browns, next team up, two first round picks. They're picking 6th overall and 24th overall. They got that extra pick from Jacksonville in the big blockbuster trade for Travis Hunter last year. They also have a second, third, fourth, two fifths, a six and a seven. So very flush with picks for the next couple of seasons here. They need a quarterback, they need offensive line, they need wide receiver, they need cornerback, they need edge. Yes. If you are listening, those are all premium positions of need. There aren't really a lot of building blocks right now in Cleveland. You talked about Denzel Boston a little bit earlier as a pick for the Ravens. I love that. But I also think he'd be a good pick here in Cleveland. You know, we're getting some round one steam here that maybe they use that 24th overall pick, maybe they use that early second on Denzel Boston. But I think that he is just exactly what this team needs. They just have a bunch of wide receiver twos. Desperately need a wide receiver one.
- [12:46]
Joey Wright
Yeah, I think best available at the end of the first round you're going to see that was it the 24th overall pick. I'm pretty sure Cleveland's hammer and wide receiver there, Denzel Boston should be there and definitely the best available at that point. Fits the Cleveland not lifestyle but the whole scheme there really well. I think that would work out good for him and I know like the idea of a wide receiver going to it seems like the jets are the Browns every year is like oh please God no. But Boston's got the talent to where he could. We saw Harold Fannin produce really well last year with, you know, not the best people throwing to him. So I have a lot of faith in Boston goes there, he'll be fine.
- [13:21]
Dave
And Nijoku is gone. So that opens up a lot of opportunities. And I still think even if they draft a guy like Boston, I think Harold Fanning could still still be the number one pass catcher there. But they definitely need some help behind him. Next up, the Dallas Cowboys. They have two first round picks going 12th and 20th. I made the mistake last week in my mock draft of mocking an offensive line and wide receiver to Dallas with their first two picks. And Dallas fans weren't too happy about that because this team desperately needs help on defense. Edge, linebacker, defensive line, cornerback, they need help there. Offensive line is kind of set now, but again, aging guys on expiring contracts, they might use one of these picks on offensive line. So my ideal pick, Joey, and you would hate this as the the guy holding the torch for Javante Williams this year, but Jonah Coleman, I think maybe spending a day to pick on Jonah Coleman. A lot of overlapping skill sets here. You know, I almost went with Javante Williams as my comp for Jonah Coleman, but we have seen like they don't want to spend a lot on running backs. They want to use these day two and day three picks. I think Jonah Coleman can give them depth behind Javante Williams while also setting them up for a future a year or two down the road without him.
- [14:28]
Joey Wright
Yeah, I take your Donald Coleman. We had our mock draft on the last episode last week and I took Jonah Coleman in the last round. He's someone that I'm really, really excited to see where he lands. I was hoping Minnesota because I feel like he would fit in really well there. Maybe it's the purple and purple, I don't know. But no, I mean, Dallas has kind of been taking these lottery tickets on running backs the last few seasons and none of them have proved to be a good backup. You have to go back to Tony Pollard in 2019 to where they actually drafted a running back with any success. So I think, yeah, Dallas brings in Jonah Coleman even though he's got the same skill set as Javante, it fits really well. They can complement each other and if something were to happen to Javante, which has happened in the past with him, they'd have someone that they can depend on to go to next.
- [15:07]
Dave
And that almost just feels like a one to one replacement. Like they don't have to change up the scheme at all. Like they can. If they had to go without Javante, they could just plug Coleman right into that role. Next thing we want to talk about. Denver Broncos no longer have a first round pick after trading for Jalen Waddle, but they still have a second, two fourths, a fifth and then three picks in round seven. This team needs some help on the defensive line. They could also use some tight end help right now. You know, they brought in Evan Ingram, not really doing too much. No real depth behind Adam Troutman and to me that sets them up to be a potential potentially in play for Eli Stowers. Now I don't know if Eli Stowers is going to fall deep into the second round. They might have to trade up to get him. But this would just be so much fun. We always talk about those super athlete tight ends in a Sean Payton offense. This would be a lot of fun for fantasy.
- [15:55]
Joey Wright
Yeah, I mean Sean Payton's got a type, so it makes a lot of sense that he would draft him. What I like most about this if Eli Stowers goes to Denver is he could work one year behind Ingram because Ingram's going to be there one more year and work on his pass blocking, which is the only thing I think Stowers really needs to work on because the athleticism is there. Just work on the Brock blocking a little bit, get up to the NFL level. It would be a good fit.
- [16:16]
Dave
So yeah, I, I could think of another tight end from a Sean Payton offense that historically could not block Joey. I mean, Jimmy Graham was just out there. They didn't ask him to block. He was just kind of a wide receiver. And I could see Sour is kind of playing in a similar role, just lining up in the slot and just doing that. And not even worrying about the blocking aspect of the game. Let's talk about the Detroit Lions. They are picking 17th overall. They also have a second, no third round pick, but they got two fourths, two fifths, two six and a seventh. Truthfully, Joey, this team doesn't have a lot of fantasy relevant needs. They've got a quarterback, they've got running backs, they've got wide receivers, they' got tight ends. But I've got a late round pick here that I think would be fun. John Michael Gillenborg. This guy is just a freak athlete, like huge fast, has a lot of the grittiness on tape that we know Dan Campbell would like a lot. And to me, a guy who has that elasticity to block and catch routes or run routes, that's exactly what we've seen the Lions really prioritizing in tight ends. So I could see him getting drafted just specifically for like red zone usage. Like you put him on the line, is he a sixth lineman? Is he running a route? You don't really know, but I think that type creativity near the end zone is what really gets them excited over in Detroit.
- [17:25]
Joey Wright
Yeah, and what you said, the Lions, you know, they don't really have a whole lot of offensive needs. Well, they don't really have a gadgety guy that can kind of. They can create some interesting plays for. So it makes a lot of sense. He would go there and he was someone we were watching the combine that we were getting excited watching him. So he would be fun to see with the Lions to see what Dan Campbell come up with for him.
- [17:43]
Dave
There's also been a lot of buzz about a potential Sam Laporta trade and this is not too long after they traded away TJ Hawkinson on his rookie deal. So. So I think if they drafted a tight end then we'd really start to get a lot of smoke about a potential Laporta deal sticking in the NFC North. The Green Bay packers do not have a first round pick after trading for Micah Parsons last year. I don't know where that brain fart came from, but they still have a second, third, fourth, two fifths, a sixth and two seventh round picks. They really need some offensive line help. They can use some wide receiver depth after trading away Don Tabian Wicks and letting Romeo Dobbs walk in free agency. They also need some cornerback help. Joey, the one that jumps out to me, and this might be kind of silly, but Jeremy Bernard and he does a lot of the same things that Jaden Reed does and a lot of the same things that Matthew golden does. But we know that that LaFleur isn't necessarily looking for the most versatile pro ready wide receivers. He wants athletes that can create after the catch and that he can get scheme touches up for. And we see that in the tight end room. We see that in the wide receiver room. And to me, Jeremy Bernard can just step right into that sort of role.
- [18:49]
Joey Wright
Yeah, it's funny, I feel like every we talk about the packers like oh they hopefully they draft a wide receiver. Hopefully they draft a wide receiver. Well this year going in they were like, oh man, they have too many wide receivers and now Wicks, Romeo Dobbs is gone so they need a wide receiver again. He does make a lot of sense there. I think he can work really well on the slot. I know you mentioned that he's got a lot of the similar skill set as Jaden Reed, but I think it's a good fit there to get six targets in every game just like every packers wide receiver seems to do under the floor.
- [19:14]
Dave
Yeah, we've been saying like every year like they need to draft a wide receiver. They finally draft around one wide receiver. Now here we are a year later saying they still need more wide receivers. It just seems to be, you know, the floor is out here coaching on hard mode, just refusing to get good receivers in that offense. Next thing we want to talk about Houston Texans. They picked 28th overall in round one. They've got two second round picks and a third, a fourth, two fifths and a seventh. Desperately, desperately needs offensive line help here. But they also need a wide receiver. You know, they, they, they went with Jaden Higgins and Jalen Noel last year, but didn't see a lot of promise from either of them. They've got David Montgomery on the short term deal, but he's getting up there in age. They could also use some tight end help behind Dalton Schultz. I think what we know is that the Texans are pretty set on defense. They've got a good defense so they will probably be investing in the offense here. Joey Emmett Johnson is the guy that jumps out to me. I think early on in his career he has that good skill set where he could be the pass catching back. David Montgomery can shoulder the majority of the load and then as he develops over the next year or two, puts on a few pounds, gets used to the NFL game, then he can be that three down back for Houston just like he was at Nebraska. You know, I've been, I don't want to say a hater, but I've had some doubts about Emmett Johnson, but I get really excited about this landing spot if it happened.
- [20:28]
Joey Wright
Yeah, I completely agree with you on all accounts, especially the past catching. He's a great compliment. And shout out to the YouTube comments. You mentioned it earlier because boy did they come for me after I said I didn't like David Montgomery on last week's episode. And you know, I, I reevaluated some stuff and he went as the second running back, a 22nd running back off the board, which I think is a fine area for Dave Montgomery to go. But yeah, Johnson would be a really good compliment for him. And let's cool it on the chin now. Bring the comments. I love them, I love them.
- [20:57]
Dave
And I'll say I did some best ball drafts over the weekend and found myself struggling to pass on David Montgomery when he was sitting there in round six. That feels like a pretty good value there. I mean if he was going a little bit higher I might be scared off. But at round six I feel like a lot of the downside is baked out of that cost. Indianapolis Colts no first round pick. They traded for Sauce Gardner last year and gave up their 2026 first, but they have a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and 2/7. This team needs some linebacker help, but they also need some wide receiver depth potentially. They've got Alec Pierce there. They've got Josh Downs, but with Michael Pittman out of the picture, I think there's a really obvious pick that would make a lot of sense here. Joey Elijah Surratt, the national championship hero. The wide receiver won for the team that won the national championship in Indiana. He could stay in state, play here and kind of step into that Michael Pittman role as that possession receiver. I don't think he'd be the number one ahead of Alec Pierce or Josh Downs, but just a good guy that could immediately get on the field and start making a difference for this Colts offense.
- [21:56]
Joey Wright
Yeah, that's why I like Sarai, because you don't. We don't need a wide receiver one to go to every single team. And so some of these guys are going to be round three, round four, maybe round two picks. They need to land somewhere. And Indianapolis, great landing spot for him where he can just be a wide receiver three and still produce. So I like that.
- [22:12]
Dave
Next up, Jacksonville Jaguars, also no first round pick as they gave that up for Travis Hunter last year, but they still have a second round pick. They have three thirds, a fourth, two fifths, a six and three seven. So they don't have a first round pick but are loaded up Everywhere else in the draft, they need some offensive line help. They can use some help on edge, linebacker and safety. But my dream pick here is not a position of need. They have running backs, they have wide receivers. So why not draft a guy that can kind of do both of those things? We know that this team likes these guys with the dual positional ability as they went hard for Travis Hunter last year. So Adam Randall I think would be a ton of fun. A guy who started his collegiate career as a wide receiver transition to running back. I just can't help but think of Liam Cohen, a young, creative head coach and some of the fun usage he can have drawn up for Adam Randall. This would be my favorite pick.
- [23:04]
Joey Wright
Yeah. And you know, we've been hearing a lot of rumors with Brian Thomas Jr. Like, is he going to be in Jacksonville anymore? Is he moving on? And the drafting of Adam Randall would bring that question even more because like you mentioned, he's a dual threat. He could play. He is a converted wide receiver. You know, Clemson running backs in Jacksonville, it's worked in the past. Travis ETN or HN up. I messed up up should have said HN is now in New Orleans. So there is that role for the former Clemson Tiger running back to be in Jacksonville so he could fill that well. But no, like you said, dual threat would make this offense even better. My Trevor Lawrence love would just be through the roof.
- [23:41]
Dave
Yeah, this, this would be a lot of fun. And also, you know, a little bit of a Clemson connection here. Right. You know, Travis HN is gone now, but Trevor Lawrence, Clemson products still there. Bringing in a guy like Adam Randall would be a lot of fun. Next up, Kansas City Chiefs. Two first round picks, including one inside the top 10. They are picking ninth and 29th overall. They still have a second, third, fourth, two fifths and six. So the Chiefs flush with draft picks this year. I don't know if everyone's going to say wide receiver is a position of need. I think it is. I think they also need some help on the edge. Somebody opposite Chris Jones. After trading away Trent McDuffie, they could bring in another cornerback. They can use some defensive line and linebacking help as well. My dream pick here, Joey pick number nine. I want them to take Makai Lemon and I know a lot of people are excited about Rashi Rice as they should be. He's been good when he is on the field and performing. In my opinion, Makai Lemon is just like a souped up version of Rossi. Rice can do all the same things. He can, can with arguably a higher ceiling and without all the legal problems. So I think this would be a lot of fun.
- [24:42]
Joey Wright
Yeah. And you know, the offensive lines come up as well for the Chiefs that they. That first round pick pick. They have two of them. It'll be interesting to see if they use a in the first side inside the first 10 picks with that nine pick to take an offensive line. I think it was Mike Kashuba over on a dynasty team was bringing up like, do the Chiefs just hate offensive linemen? But Lemon, I mean. So Dave, I have a question for you.
- [25:03]
Dave
Yes.
- [25:03]
Joey Wright
You have Makai Lemon as your wide receiver too. Is that correct? You have Jordan Tyson at 1.
- [25:08]
Dave
Yep. Yep.

Joey Wright
If Lemon goes to the Chiefs, is that enough for you to bump him up, up to number one?
- [25:15]
Dave
Possibly, depending on where Tyson goes. Because if Tyson lands with the Rams, then, you know, I get pretty excited about that landing spot too. So, Makai Lemon, very fluid situation at the top of my wide receiver rankings and landing spot and draft capital will absolutely change those up a little bit after next week. Let's talk about the Las Vegas Raiders. They're picking first overall. They also have a second round pick, a third round pick, three picks in round four, official fifth, two, sixth and seventh. So they have a lot of picks in this draft. Their needs basically everything except tight end. They need a quarterback, wide receiver, offensive line edge, defensive line, linebacker, quarterback. They need a lot of help here, Joey. Sometimes you just got to take the low hanging fruit. Fernando Mendoza in Las Vegas. It's going to be fun. You know, similar offense to what they ran at Indiana. He's got the pieces there with Brock Bowers and Ash and Ginsey to really set up for a fun play action offense with Clint Kubiak. This is the obvious choice here, but we all want to see it happen.
- [26:12]
Joey Wright
Yeah. So I agree there's like no notes. We know what's going to happen. But like, just for the sake of the conversation, is there any chance the Raiders trade out?
- [26:21]
Dave
No.
- [26:22]
Joey Wright
Okay. I don't think there's another quarterback in this draft class. Let me just. They just brought in Kirk Cousins last week.
- [26:28]
Dave
Yeah.
- [26:28]
Joey Wright
For a. Was that a five year deal? It's one year, but yes.
- [26:32]
Dave
Yeah. You know, Kirk always gets the gaudy headlines. He's gonna make like a billion dollars before he retires. But the, the rumors we're hearing actually, and this would make a lot of sense with Tom Brady kind of having say in the personnel usage there are, that we're going to get a full year of Kirk Cousins and that Fernando Mendoza might just redshirt his rookie season, which we know that has worked for a lot of quarterbacks, including Tom Brady. So something to keep an eye on there. I'm back with Joey Wright and we are going through all 32 NFL teams talking about the draft picks they have, the needs they have and a player that we would like to see land there. We just talked about the Las Vegas Raiders. Now we're going to talk about the Los Angeles Chargers. They have the 22nd overall pick. They also have a second, third, fourth and sixth. They need some offensive line help on the interior. They've got those bookend tackles, but they could use some interior help. Also need some help on defense. This is another team though, like for fantasy football purposes. They've got a quarterback, they've got a running back, they've got wide receivers, they've got the tight ends. I think Max Bredeson would be a lot of fun here. He was the fullback, tight end, hybrid on the Michigan national championship winning team that Jim Harbaugh coached. That's pretty much all I got. This is going to be like a six or seventh round guy that has some ties to Harbaugh. I think that would be not fun for fantasy, but at least something we can get excited about in real life. Also sets them up to move on from Alec Engeld after this season.
- [27:52]
Joey Wright
Yeah, sometimes you just got to read the narrative and you know, Harbaugh being at Michigan, get your guys. And so this is one of those instances where yeah, I think we could see that happen. I literally, in my notes I'm like, Dave, this is all you. I'm just gonna say, yep, yeah, this
- [28:06]
Dave
was one of those because it makes
- [28:07]
Joey Wright
a lot of sense.
- [28:08]
Dave
When we were doing the rookie guy, there was a lot of discussion, is Max Predisone, is he a running back or a tight end? Mike Kishuba and I set him back and forth to each other a few times before I finally did the the scouting report on him. A fun, gritty, lunch pail type of player. Let's talk about the Los Angeles Rams here, Joey. They are picking 13th overall. They also have a second, third, sixth and three seventh round picks. They need offensive line. They might want to start looking at wide receiver in this draft just to get ahead of the eventual Devonte Adams departure. Also need edge, linebacker, defensive back. I hinted at it earlier in the show. Jordan Tyson I think would be so much fun here. He is a very good blocking receiver in addition to what he can do as a pass catcher. And this can help the Rams get back to that 11 personnel that we saw taking the lead by storm a few years back where they can roll out Pukinakua, Devonte Adams and Jordan Tyson still keep defenses on their heels. Not knowing if it's going to be a run or a pass. To me, Jordan Tyson just feels like a Ram.
- [29:06]
Joey Wright
Yeah. And it answers the questions for the future with wide receivers. With the Rams, you know, we know Devonte Adams isn't going to be there much longer than maybe this season. Do they move him out? But Dave, I'm glad you mentioned Tyson. I could definitely see that happening at some point. The Rams need to start thinking about quarterback and there's a few in this draft class that I don't know are exactly what the Rams are looking for. But Stenson Bennett's the only other quarterback they have on the roster right now. So you know, I have Garrett Nussmeier is probably an option to land there, but somebody that you like out of North Dakota State, Cole Payton. I think with Sean McVeigh it would be really interesting what they could turn Cole Payton into.
- [29:45]
Dave
I love, love, love that. Give him, you know, a year or two to sit behind Stafford and learn from McVeigh. And I think that was the plan with Stetson Bennett, a little bit of an older prospect, but they thought they can kind of make him this malleable piece that can become the quarterback of the future. And I don't think that they have a lot of faith there anymore. Cole Payton would be a ton of fun. Drew Aller also has some of the skills that would make him a fun target here as well. But yeah, if they spend a day three pick on a quarterback would not surprise me whatsoever. Let's talk about the Miami Dolphins here. They have two first round picks after the Jalen Waddle trade, picking 11th and 30th overall. They also have a second, no third round pick, but they have four picks in round three, a fourth, fifth and two seven. So a lot of round three picks here that we'll be watching closely on day two. They need a wide receiver after the Waddle trade. They also need offensive line, cornerback, edge safety. They have a lot of needs here. Kenyon Siddiq is the one that jumps out to me and they might even take him as early as 11th overall. We're expecting this real run heavy game plan from the Dolphins with Malik Willis and Devon H and using Kenyon Sadiq as that kind of fullback, tight end, hybrid that can be useful in the pass or in the in the running game while also rushing or also running routes. As a receiver, I think there's a lot of versatility here that can help kind of unlock this offense.
- [31:00]
Joey Wright
Yeah. Of all the. Of all the players we have been kind of mocking to these teams, this is the one that makes the most sense to me. I know Mendoza is going to go to the Raiders, sure, but Sadiq going to the office. They're rebuilding this team from the ground up, essentially. They've got a chain there, and that's like their only, like, really great piece. Malik Willis needs someone to throw to. If you look at this draft class, in my opinion, Kenyan Siddiq at his position is the most elite player compared to the competition. So the Dolphins get themselves an elite player to build this franchise around. And you think, you know, they need to have people in seats this year. Let's have him out there. It's something to look at.
- [31:37]
Dave
Sadiq would be fun, that's for sure. And he'd sell some. Some seats as well. Talk about the Minnesota Vikings. Here they have the 18th overall pick. They've also got a second, two thirds, fifth, sixth, and three picks in round seven. They need some offensive line help. They need some defensive line help. They need a cornerback, they need a safety. Most of their needs are on defense. But also I think running back could be a need for them. Aaron Jones, getting up there in age. Jordan Mason, not really living up to what they expected from him. Me, this. This is such a dumb, just like, meathead pick. But Leon Moss, I don't know, man. There's something about the way that he moves that reminds me of Dalvin Cook. He's just this fluid glider. I had Matt Waldman again on last week, and we were talking about, like, different types of movements. He's not a jab stepper. He doesn't really cut. He just kind of like weaves his way through the defense in a very similar way to Dalvin Cook. So I think this would be fun. You know, I just. When I watched Le'Veon Moss playing at Texas A and M, I just couldn't help but imagine him in a Vikings uniform.
- [32:37]
Joey Wright
Yeah, I think the Vikings that. Well, you're right. I mentioned earlier Jonah Coleman. Like, I would love to see him end up in Minnesota. I think it's the most logical move for the Vikings to take a running back. And Le'Veon Moss fits that bill really well.
- [32:51]
Dave
New England Patriots, they have the 31st overall pick. They also have a second, third, two fourths, fifth, four, six and a seventh. So a lot of draft picks this year obviously need major help on the offensive line after we saw that offensive line getting decimated throughout the playoffs. They could also use some wide receiver help. Even though they brought in Romeo Dubs, still a position of need here. They need some help at edge as well. Joey, again, we took the low hanging fruit with Fernando Mendoza. I think there's a. There's something hanging even a little bit lower, and that's Eli Heidenreich with the New England Patriots. Just a scrappy gym rat. Positional versatility. Played at Navy where Belichick's dad was a longtime coach. This just almost feels too obvious.
- [33:30]
Joey Wright
Yeah, if it was 2016 fanatics that already have the jerseys printed up for this one before the draft even began. No, I mean like. And we've talked about teams that don't necessarily need a wide receiver one or a wide receiver two. There's a lot of talk about A.J. brown possibly coming into the Patriots. You know, Heiden, right, coming in there that gradually player that we've kind of seen cut from the cloth. Julian Edelman, Wes Welker. We all know what we're saying here. It just makes a lot of sense to be a New England Patriot.
- [33:55]
Dave
Yeah, my comp for him was Chris Hogan, which isn't even the Welker or Edelman. Just another page, maybe a little Danny M and cola in his game. Yeah, you know where we're getting at with this one? New Orleans Saints, they are picking eighth overall. They also have a second, third, two fourths, two fifths and a six. Need some wide receiver help behind Chris Olave. Also need offensive line, edge, defensive line, cornerback and safety. There's been a lot of smoke about Carnell Tate going here and I think it makes sense. You know, they struck old a few years back hitting on Chris Alabe. I think going right back to that Buckeye well would really behoove them and helps give a secondary option for Tyler Schuck to just open this whole offense up a little bit.
- [34:34]
Joey Wright
Yeah, I mean, as a Bucks fan, like, I don't want this to happen, but it makes a lot of sense to get somebody there to that can let Chris Olavi actually get some pressure taken off of him and do what he does best. Carnel Tate coming in there really terrifies me of what this offense could be because Tyler Shuck, I don't think he's going away. He impressed me down this stretch at the end of the season and I think they're going to bring pieces in to push this franchise forward. So Carnot.
- [34:59]
Dave
Yeah, I was gonna say they already have ETN Yeah, Hn, I'm sorry, I'm gonna get tripped up. Jeff Bell and I, we, we had like a five minute. I'm gonna be getting tripped up about this all year. But yes, Travis Hn in New Orleans and yeah, they could throw another receiver out there. I think it really, really helps Tyler Schuck's outlook. New York Giants, they have the fifth overall pick. A second, fourth, fifth and three, six. They need a lot of help. Offensive line, wide receiver, edge, defensive line, cornerback, linebacker. A lot of the same things that you hear a lot of other teams needing as well. My favorite pick for them, Joey Casey Concepcion. They lost Wanda Robinson. Casey Concepcion, another undersized guy who can do a lot after the catch. But really more than anything we know Malik Neighbors. He is best suited as a downfield target. I think you could put Casey Concepcion into the role that was just vacated by Wanda Robinson. I think I've seen some comps Zay flowers. So I think the, the Harbaugh connection as well, like there is some Zay Flowers in Concepcion's game. If he is sitting there when they have that early second round pick, I think that would be a really fun landing spot.
- [36:05]
Joey Wright
I think it would be great too. The only thing is if the Giants are going to make this happen, they're going to need to trade into the first round which they've got an early second round pick so they could easily make that happen. But what I like about this is okay, a guy left. Let's get a guy to fill that role that's just a little bit better than the guy that was there before. So you can see it working in the offense. And I think Casey's Concepcion could pick up in this offense and be a starter as early as week one.
- [36:29]
Dave
And I think he would need to be if they're drafting him that early. Especially with Malik neighbors like a dependable fan ready starter.
- [36:34]
Joey Wright
Week one. We could go to him right away.
- [36:36]
Dave
Yeah, and, and I think that would be a very fun pick. And also like we were just talking about a secondary receiver for Tyler Schuck being good. A secondary receiver for Jackson Dart would also be pretty nice. New York jets, they have two first round picks, second and 16th both in the first half of round one. They also have two seconds, two fourths, a fifth and two sevenths needs. Yes, they need. They need pretty much everything in this offense right now. My ideal pick for them, Joey, Ty Simpson. Not because I think Ty Simpson is a very good quarterback, but jets are desperate. Geno Smith is not the long term answer. I think if you're the jets and you have all of these picks, you just need to keep throwing darts at quarterbacks. I think they spent 16th overall on Ty Simpson. That's a bit rich. But if they can get him at 33, if they can get him at 44, you know, I think it just kind of makes sense for them given where they are.
- [37:25]
Joey Wright
Yeah, one day it's going to pan out for the jets and I'm excited for jets fans when that day comes. I think with Tyson's it's important to remember like what he looked like at the beginning of last season and not towards the end. Listen, Tyson's could come in and be like the steal of the draft. If the jets get them, man, if they get him 16th overall, I don't think they need to. I think they can wait until the second round. Unless less the Cardinals. Well, I wanted to mention the Cardinals could trade up into the first round and grab Ty Simpson. That I could see that happening. But yeah, like Ty Simpson can land at the jets and totally work out.
- [37:55]
Dave
Yeah. And if it's not Ty Simpson, it might be a Nussmeyer, an aller like somebody. I'd be shocked if the jets with all of those picks that they have, two firsts, two seconds. If they don't use one of those picks on a quarterback, I will be very, very surprised. Philadelphia Eagles picking 23rd overall. They also have a second, two thirds, two fourths, a fifth and a sixth. I'm gonna say wide receiver is a position of need for them because it seems like an AJ Brown trade is all but done at this point. Also need a tight end to set them up for life beyond Dallas Goddard. Outside of that, they're pretty much set everywhere. Joey, my ideal pick for them. This is another kind of just like silly like you know, I couldn't help but think about a player as I was watching them. Desmond Reed, a lot of Darren Sprolls to his game and I think seeing Desmond Reed who played college ball at Pitt, he could stay in Pennsylvania. Playing for the Eagles would immediately be a fun change of pace option behind Saquon Barkley. Like I said, team doesn't have a ton of needs, but they have a lot of Day 3 picks. Desmond Reed who played college ball in Pennsylvania. I think it would be fun to see him stick around.
- [38:57]
Joey Wright
Yeah and that's something we used to see from the Eagles a lot more before Barkley got there is these third round right, third down backs that which is. Kenneth Gainwell was producing really well before Barkley was there. And he did well last season with the Steelers, now he's with a better team than the Steelers. But yeah, I could definitely see that happening. And because they do need to address the Saquon Barclays if he's going to be there for a while with the Eagles, they need to take a little bit of pressure off of them on third down. So bringing somebody in like Reed would make a lot of sense.
- [39:25]
Dave
Pittsburgh Steelers, they picked 21st overall. They also have a second, three third round pick. So yeah, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 picks inside of day two, two, four fifth, sixth and three seventh. So loaded with draft picks here. They need a quarterback because as of right now, Aaron Rodgers technically isn't a Steeler. And all expectations are that he's going to come back and join Mike McCarthy on this ride, but hasn't happened yet. They also need some offensive line help, they need some linebacker help as well. My pick for them, Joey Drew Aller. Now we saw Mike McCarthy was integral in the development of Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers was a toolsy guy that didn't always have the best decision making on the field. And we saw he was coached up to be one of the best quarterbacks of all time. I think them drafting Aller, who also, like we just said about Desmond Reed played football in Pennsylvania, he was at Penn State. He can stay in Pittsburgh here gets a year or two to sit behind Aaron Rodgers, learn from Mike McCarthy. I'm not saying that this is a slam dunk pick by any means, but I think this would probably be the best path for Drew Aller to find a successful NFL career.
- [40:30]
Joey Wright
If Aller is going to be a slam dunk, this is how he's going to be a slam dunk dunk where he gets to sit behind something like Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh. I, I absolutely love this. This is kind of what I want to happen because I don't think Will Howard's the, the answer there. And Pittsburgh, you know, they took him and that's nice. But there'll be a QB competition, I'm sure, when Roger steps aside. But Drew Aller, if he gets to sit a year or two behind Rogers could really be a starting quarterback in this league.
- [40:58]
Dave
Why can't Rogers just make a decision? Like, I'm sick of doing this. He wants song and dance every off season. Yeah. Here we are doing just. It's April and we're wondering what Aaron Rodgers is going to do. We'll probably be doing this again the same time next year. San Francisco 49ers, they have the 27th overall pick a second round pick and four fourth. So a lot of picks early in the draft, but not too much happening late. They need wide receiver help, which is crazy to say because like two years ago this was the deepest, best wide receiver room in the NFL. And they did try to address that with Mike Evans, but I don't think they're set up for long term success beyond that. That also needs some edge help, somebody that can play opposite Nick Bosa. Omar Cooper Jr. Joey just feels like such a slam dunk pick. Like I. We always talk about the next Debo and there probably isn't a next Debo, but if there is, Omar Cooper kind of fits the bill.
- [41:47]
Joey Wright
Yeah, he really does. And it's funny you mentioned like wide receiver with the 49ers. Well, they've already got wide receivers. I got Mike Evans, Ricky Piersall and Christian Kirk. Well, Mike Evans is going to be there forever, maybe a year or two.
- [41:59]
Dave
Yeah.
- [42:00]
Joey Wright
You know, he's chasing a ring we all know it could have got with Tampa Bay. It's okay, Mike. I still love you, Ricky. Pierce all like for me, like, I've not fully bought in on Pierce all being a wide receiver too. And Christian Kirk's on the downturn of his career. If you ask me, Omar Cooper could come into this offense and be a wide receiver too. Like we mentioned who we were talking about a few seconds ago that week one they could be on the field with the Giants.
- [42:21]
Dave
Casey Concepcion. Yeah, I think it would be the same with Omar Cooper.
- [42:24]
Joey Wright
Yeah. Yeah. Week one Cooper's on the field producing for the 49ers. It wouldn't take him no time at all to be the wide receiver too in this offense.
- [42:31]
Dave
And we hear so much about Kyle Shanahan, how much of an importance he places on yak and blocking, doing all that gritty dirty work that's required from receivers. I feel like Omar Cooper just perfectly encapsulates being that type of NFL player. Seattle Seahawks pick a 32nd overall after the Super bowl win. Also have a second, a third and a sixth. They traded away a lot of draft picks, picks. They were flush in last year's draft and then a little bit scarce at this year. They need some offensive line help. They can use a quarterback after losing some guys in free agency, but they've done a pretty darn good job of building out this roster to get through. Like, I'm not expecting any huge super bowl hangover here. This is just a good roster, top to bottom. Mike Washington Jr. Just, just for the fun. Like we have seen that Seattle loves These big physical, hyper athletic running backs. He'll probably be there in round two, maybe even in round three if they really want him. This to me sure like we want Zach Charbonnet to come back healthy. They've got Emmanuel Wilson and George Holani to shoulder the word workload early in the year but Mike Washington would be fun even if it is just for half a season.
- [43:39]
Joey Wright
Yeah, I think what's important to remember about the situation of Seattle is any running back they bring in kinda they would hope be a three down back and Washington fits that bill just with the whole sack sharpening. I still think Zach Charbonnet is going to be fantastic in this league so I've not given up on him. It would be nice to see him ease then and not have to come right in week one, week two and start. If the Seahawks wait at running back though, Adam Randall, please, oh my God, go to Seattle. It would be so much fun.
- [44:11]
Dave
You know since Marshawn lynch they really have opted for a two running back backfield. Like we thought that they were set with Rashad Penny and then they went out and they drafted Ken Walker. We thought they were set with that and then they went out and they drafted Zach Charbonnet. So Zach Charbonnet a very good running back and I am fully confident in him being a three down back that can handle 350 touches in a season. But I don't think that's how the Seahawks want to use running backs. So don't be surprised if they use one of this year's picks to add some depth there. Tampa Bay Buccaneers picking 15th overall. They've got a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh. So all of their picks in this year's draft need some offensive line help. Could also use some help on the defense. But Joey, I don't know if wide receiver is a position of need after. You know they've still got Godwin there and they've got some good young guys including Ameca Buka. But Chris Brazil just feels like a guy who can kind of step into Mike Evans shoes. And I know stepping into the shoes of a future hall of Famer is a tall ask for anybody but just a guy who is SEC tested, big, long, physical, can come down with contested catches. He can kind of step right into that Mike Evans role and keep the offense moving.
- [45:16]
Joey Wright
See, I think it is a position of need for the Buccaneers because when they were trying to have step up to be the Mike Evans in this offense, he wasn't ready for that role. So he does need somebody that Can. What'd you say?
- [45:28]
Dave
I said very good point.
- [45:30]
Joey Wright
Yeah. So I do think that Igbuka needs somebody on the field with him. Chris Godwin's not going to be there for long and he's not shown a really great track record of being healthy the last few seasons. So I could see them bringing Brazilian. It makes. It's a kind of a one for one switch with Mike Evans. Big body, wide receiver, end zone threat. I like it a lot. Please Bucks go defense in the first round though, please, because I want to win some games next year, but if I can make one more suggestion just to make all my dreams come true. Kenyan Sadiq, please come to the Buccaneers. I love you. Let's look. Hey, Dot and Block and not have to be a pass catcher, which, like, listen, when he's asked to step up to the plate, I gave him the nickname Pedialyte because when the Bucks need them, when they're sick, he steps in and helps them out. But let's just get you back to block and get you on the field. I love you, but Kenyan Sadiq and the Bucks offense would be unbelievable.
- [46:20]
Dave
And back to what you said about the wide receiver like being a position of need. There are young, fun names there, right? Like Jalen McMillan, Tez Johnson. We saw flashes from these guys, but we haven't seen any semblance of consistency. So that does worry me a little bit. Like both these guys kind of came on really strong, took the league by storm and then quickly faded out. So, yeah, like outside of Ibuka, there's really nobody you can be excited about long term in that receiver room now. Tennessee Titans picking fourth overall. They have all of their picks, including a couple of extra dates. A three pick, so they've got a second, third, fourth, two fifths, a sixth and a seventh. They need offensive line, wide receiver, running back, edge, linebacker. They need a lot of holes filled here. Jeremiah Lovett, pick four though. It would be fun. Joey, that's what we want to see, right?
- [47:05]
Joey Wright
And I think that's what's going to happen. It's a slam dunk pick for the Titans the last two seasons to get two elite players in their offense with Cam Ward and now Jeremiah Love. And listen, I just took. I had my first draft of the season this morning. First rookie draft. It took Jeremiah Love with the 101. So go to Tennessee, be the next Eddie George and really, let's just make this all happen.
- [47:26]
Dave
It's kind of crazy to think how long they've had that. Tony Pollard and Tajie Spears duo in Tennessee and haven't really done much to change that up. And I think this is the year we finally see that change. Last team we're going to talk about.
- [47:37]
Joey Wright
Yeah, if Love does come into Tennessee, I do think we might see Pollard just right on his way out immediately.
- [47:44]
Dave
Oh yeah, absolutely. They can move on from him pretty easily, even if it's just a flat out release. They've got it built into his contract that they can save a lot of dead Cap if they they choose to move on from him. The last thing we're going to talk about here, Joey, the Washington Commanders, they've got the seventh overall pick, no second round pick, but they have a third, fifth, two six and a seventh. They need offensive line help. They really need some wide receivers behind. Terry McLaurin also needs some running backs. So this is a team that does have a lot of fantasy relevant needs. Could also use some help on the edge and edge at cornerback. You know, there's a lot of running backs that I think would fit here. I think Jeremiah Love, if he falls to seven, makes a lot of sense. Seth McGowan kind of feels like he could be a commander's running back, but Jam Miller makes a lot of sense to me. Brian Robinson Jr. Was the RB one for Alabama for a few years. When he left, Jam Miller stepped into his role as Alabama's wide receiver one. I think it would just be very fitting now with Brian Robinson Jr. Out of Washington that he follows a similar path, filling in in his shoes at the NFL level. And we've seen that this is the type of running back that they really want these SEC tested, you know, productive guys in college who are athletic and physical runners. I think Jam Miller would just make a lot of sense as a commander's running back.
- [48:57]
Joey Wright
Yeah, it's funny, it's the last team we're talking about is the Commanders and they're the team that I feel that needs the most running back and wide receiver help. So really anyone that comes in here for the commanders, I'm going to be somewhat excited about. With Jam Miller, he immediately would step into a running back room where he's at least, at least third. And I'm, I'm giving jcm, I'm giving Bill Crosky a little, a little more credit than maybe I should to say he wouldn't be the second best running back on the team. I think Rashad White is the best running back they have right now and maybe that's because I'm a little bit of a homer with the Bucks, but I do think Rashad White can produce in this offense, but yeah, Jan Miller going there there would take no time at all before he's the RB2.
- [49:33]
Dave
Well, Joey, before we recorded the show, we deluded ourselves into saying, like, we can cover all of these teams in under 30 minutes. Not quite under 30 minutes, but we, we got it to under 50. So I'm feeling pretty good about that. Not an easy thing to do talking about every NFL team in a single show. But for anybody watching the show, Joey is going to be out here in Colorado next week with Jeff Bell. We're going to be doing a live watch party for the NFL draft, so be sure to support subscribe here on YouTube to check that when we're doing that next weekend. Joey, any final thoughts before we wrap up this episode?
- [50:04]
Joey Wright
Today I, I looked at the weather report for Colorado Springs. Oops, I doxed you where you live. And it doesn't look like it's gonna be that cold, so I'm from Florida, so I was excited to see that. It's like, you know, it might start off in the 40s, but it's going to end in the 70s each day. So that's when you know a couple
- [50:19]

weeks ago what the weather would be like. April in Colorado is impossible to predict. You could get an 80 degree sunny day. You could get two feet of snow. So now we're close enough that we can start looking at the forecast. The, the most common days that you get, April in Colorado, sunny mornings, rainy afternoons is kind of the, the M.O. out here.

Good. I can't wait. But no, what I can't wait for more is just seeing some of these players that we've just been watching lots of tape on, you know, evaluating his rookies, get them some landing spots so we can really start to develop what their 20, 26 and beyond is going to look like. So I'm really excited for this.

That, yeah, we are in that kind of like, lull right now where we're just kind of talking about players and where we'd like to see them, but my goodness, a week and a half from now, we're going to be drinking out of a fire hose. When it comes to writing articles and trying to get rankings up to date and doing all this stuff. There is a lot that we will be talking about in a very short time and we appreciate you, the audience, hanging out with us while we discuss all of those things. Thank you so much for tuning in. We will see you soon.
