We knew the Bears were going to trade out of this pick, just a matter of when. Do you have the specific trade details, Andy? Yeah, so the Carolina gave up pick number nine and 61 in this year's draft. A first round pick in 2024, a second round pick in 2025, and receiver DJ Moore. And the Bears just give up the number one pick, and that is it. Nice. So this, my gut reaction here was that the Bears, you know, this is a great deal for them. I love the idea of getting Fields a dude and DJ Moore.

And Moore is probably like, I just said, white by the way, of like. Moore is probably like one of the most underrated receivers in the league. Yeah, I was thinking about like where I'd rank him and kind of like a tier. He feels like a fringe tier two, maybe tier three receiver. If like the elites are, you know, the Tyree kills, the Devante Adams, A.J. Brown. And then you've got this other tier of, I don't know, kind of the younger guys like T. Higgins and. Yeah, Amin Ra St. Brown. And then there's like tier three where it's like good receivers.

on bad teams are not great quarterbacks, like Terry McLaren and DJ Moore. Yeah. That's a great comp there. Yeah, I think DJ Moore can play, though. I mean, I think he's a really good player. The things he does for your offense, you know, he does everything. He attacks all three levels of the field sufficiently.

It's a good deep threat. He's a good route runner. And he's pretty good on those gadget type stuff. You know, can make guys miss at a pretty good rate. It's funny, I tweeted something about, I'm sure you saw the tweet where it was like, you know, Josh Allen or the bill's got Josh Allen, Stefan Diggs, the Eagles got Jalen Hertz, A.J. Brown. Fields gets DJ Moore. You know, there's a, there's a blueprint for how to do this and the bears are following it. And the pushback I got on that was insane, Chris. Like people don't feed the fact that DJ Moore can help Justin Fields. Most of the replies were from Vikings fans. who are, you know, admittedly miserable people. So they just can't stomach the bears having a potentially good quarterback. It's not even the point.

Whether Fields is on those guys's level or not or Moore's on the other guys's level or not, it doesn't matter. It's get your quarterback good weapons. And you can't argue that DJ Moore is not a massive upgrade for them. Yeah, this is what you have to do. They're not saying we think Fields is good. they're saying we're going to give remove all doubts from if fields is good or not and they're going to find out and giving him everything they possibly can to succeed and if it doesn't work out they'll now have the ammunition to replace him next year or the year after whenever it is yep this is this is literally the brulupment that the eagles did with hertz they you know they end up going to a super bowl but there's a world where hertz doesn't take another step they're in that 10 to 15 draft range and

they've got two first round picks and can move up and draft a guy this year or something. It feels like we haven't really seen it work out to where the QB doesn't end up getting substantially better when they're surrounded with weapons. But, I mean, it's bound to happen eventually. Who knows if it'll be fields. You know, Daniel Jones might be another one that we'll see if the Giants surround him with good receivers and maybe want to work out. Maybe they'll both work out. We just don't know. But this is the path you got to go.

There's other examples too, right? I mean, Joe Burrow getting Jamar Chase and T. Higgins and Tua getting Tyreek and Waddle. Those guys weren't necessarily on the same struggle bus, though. The reason I used Allen and Hertz specifically is because there was this developmental curve needed for those guys. And so getting them that true dog. I do want to point out to you, by the way, for the naysayers that when Stefan Diggs was traded to the bills, he was not even remotely considered the player he is now. he had i think he had two 1,000 yard seasons in five years

he was a good player but he was very similarly thought of as dj morris right now yeah there was a there was a point where like diggs and thieland weren't thought of as totally different levels of receivers yeah i would i would even argue thelan was thought of way higher than digs was at that time yeah that's why they were willing to trade diggs um yeah i mean i So I do think DJ Moore there's a chance This is probably the best quarterback He's going to get a chance to play with in his career It's like there's a chance you see a similar spike

From both players in fields and Moore So Moore's had just a gauntlet of terrible quarterback I was trying to think through when you said Is it the best one that he's played with And I was like All right Sam Darnold Baker Mayfield Kyle Allen

Yeah Kyle Cam Newton again Did he play with Cam twice or just once Twice Twice on two separate stints Yep. Kyle Allen, I think, was probably the bulk of Moore's catches. Then you had Taylor Heineke in there as well. Sam Darnold, Baker Mayf. It's been a litany of just terrible for him. So some stability there could be huge for him.

Anyways, let's turn our focus to the draft, which is why this podcast exists. The Carolina Panthers now sit with the first overall pick. And, Chris, one thing I didn't realize when this trade happened, the reason I aired on the side of the Bears winning, But Carolina still has a full draft class coming in Because they had all the extra picks from San Francisco from the McCaffrey trade They still have the 40th pick overall They still have a third round pick They still have a fourth round pick

Two fourth round picks Is it two fourth round picks? Yeah, they have theirs and San Francisco's Yeah, I mean They're not sitting as poorly as I thought they were So they're going to be able to give whatever quarterback they take at one overall some help right away. Yeah, they're near locks to take a receiver with the 40th pick in the second round.

They, I mean, they've got to do something with the receiving room. And there's going to be a good group of receivers in that range. They've got a solid team outside of that. It really is their skill players that they need to give this young QB, whoever it is, some help with. Yeah, give me. Well, I mean, first of all, let's start with this. Which quarterback do you think they traded up for?

I probably would agree with the betting favorite right now, which is C.J. Stroud. But I mean. Based off of a YouTube video, by the way. What do you mean? The reason the markets are like that is because Josh McCown was on. Oh, yes, yes, yeah. Oh, saying he really likes Stroud. This is before he was hired.

I also want to point out offensive coordinators don't really have a lot of say in anything. when it comes to Yeah, you're probably right. But I mean, it feels like it's for sure. Like Stroud, so this could totally change by the time we get it. It's just Stroud has been probably seen the most hype recently of all the big four QBs with the combine and everything. And it feels like he's the guy, he's the safe pick, you know? Is he the highest upside?

I don't know. What you just said is exactly why I don't think it's Stroud. Yeah. You don't trade from 9 to 1 for safe. you trade from 9 to 1 because you're swinging for the freaking fences. I'm going Anthony Richardson with this pick every time. So you're not changing your latest mock draft? No, and I'm not biased either because I have Anthony Richardson at 100 to 1 to go first overall,

and I'm not letting that influence me. I would prefer. Strout is the 1QB. I don't have a nice line on to go first overall. So I would be totally fine if it's not Stroud. Right. So ideally they go Richardson here. But I don't think Stroud's a bad pick.

If they went Stroud, those are the two, though, I'm considering. Levis is not even in consideration. Bryce Young, you really got to, I don't think anyone's trading up for 5'10. I'm just saying. Like, we've, yeah, I don't think anyone's doing that. So whether it's Richardson or Stroud, though, I do think they go receiver at 40, like you said. There's a litany of guys there that really fit them. Actually, it doesn't even matter if they fit or not.

They need so much help. I mean, Josh Downs, you know, keep the Carolina kid there. Rishi Rice. I was going to say, Rice might be there. Yeah, Rishie Rice would be a great pick for them. Tank Dell, even. I just like that quick-twitch separation skills from the slot. They already have Leviska-Shanal.

What are you trapped in Nathaniel Dell for? Leviska-Schanol and quick-twitch separation skills don't belong in the same sense. Leviska does things well, for sure. but I don't necessarily need him to I don't need an offense with both of them on the same team I'm just thinking of ways to give the rookie QB some easy throws but I'd be fine with downs there Tyler Scott would be really intriguing

I know that's probably a little high for him for where the NFL's probably evaluating him right now but that would be really intriguing if they wanted to go with the bigger body guy Michael Wilson E.T. Perry Perry, Cedric Tillman those guys are going to

be, oh, Marvin Mims would be sick right there. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, so they're in good shape. I mean, not good shape. Like, it's going to take time. It's not like he's going to be dropped in and immediately have good receiving weapons. But they're not going to be, they're not going to have the room that they currently have, where it's Terrence, Terrace Marshall, shy Smith, Leviska-Chanal, and is it Richard Higgins, I think?

Is the other guy that's still there? Sounds right. And Ian Thomas at Tommy Trembal at Tight End, whichever one they're listing as their starter. I like that you mentioned tight end there because, I mean, this is a new regime. We don't know how they feel about Ian Thomas and Tommy Trembal. And there's a lot of tight ends in this class. What if one of the top four is sitting there at 40? Yeah, that might be the best receiving weapon on the board.

It might supersede. No, barring Washington, I don't think he gives you enough receiving upside to justify taking him over. a receiver would you need a receiver but if musgrave or mayor or kinkade or for whatever reason are there i mean geez they got to they got to do that yeah all those guys will they've scored higher than any of the receivers i just mentioned so so going back to who we think might be the first pick do you put any there's been a lot of reports that carolina likes multiple kubes and is open to trading down now do you believe that at all yeah yes and no I think what they're trying to do is, you know, pull what the bears were forced into a couple years ago with Trubisky, where they had traded up one spot to make sure they got their guy.

I think they're trying to force Houston to leapfrog that so they can recoup a second round pick or something there. And not lose their guy. Yeah, because everyone knows Houston wants Bryce Young. Right. So I think they're floating that like, oh, we, you know, we like multiple guys. and then I think it'll even pivot to we really like Bryce Young and then he's which I don't understand the strategy if I'm Houston and you really like Bryce Young that much

it's probably worth just you know doing the deal to get up I wouldn't do it but if that's what your evaluation says then you kind of have to that's what would it even cost to move one spot from two to yeah yeah that's what I think the Bears paid a second to go from third to second to get Trubisky. I think the precedence is there. I don't think Carolina would risk getting leapfrogged

by dropping back to like three or four or something. Do you know what I mean? Right. So two is probably the only realistic spot they would drop two. Yeah. Unless they liked, so say they did like Stroud and Richardson and they know the Texans want young,

maybe they go back to three. But why would Arizona be trading up the first? Arizona was somebody would have to move to Arizona first. Right. So it just, it seems like Houston's really the only team they're targeting with this stuff. Right. So then on the flip,

all right, so then on the other side, what does this mean for the Bears? And now having the ninth pick, what type of player do you think they will be available for them there that makes sense? For me, this off season is 100% about Justin Fields.

And making him better, seeing what you have there. So at number nine, I'm now putting JSN on the table. I'm putting Quentin Johnson on the table. I think I did, because DJ Moore can play in the slot some. Darnell Mooney can play in the slot some. He played in the slot mostly for them last year.

Yeah. Yeah. So if they wanted to go Quentin Johnston at 9 and you have a receiving core now of Johnston, DJ Moore, and Darnell Mooney, that's. You left out, you left out Chase Claypool. Chase Claypool is your rotational guy. I mean, that's a really good rotation there. They did also re-signed Equanimia St. Brown.

So he's kind of locked in probably as that fifth receiver guy slash special teams player. But that's a much better situation for Fields, like light years ahead of where they were last year. Last year was brutal, man. Yeah, I would go that direction. The other option is because this is a deep wide receiver class, you could probably go O. lineman there, like a Peter Skoronsky. That's what I want them to do. taken O lineman.

I mean, they've got very little talent on that offensive line. Fields was, he was one of the most pressure to QBs last year. You know, sometimes it was his own fault because he moves around a lot, but it was not pretty. Yeah, he, the thing with Chicago is they have so much cabs face. They're rumored to be tied to Orlando Brown Jr. So they could plug left tackle like right away with that. So Scarazzi makes perfect sense then because he could play guard. Or right tackle.

Well, didn't they draft a tackle last year? Yeah, he played left tackle for them, but he was a fifth round pick. I don't think they're not like pot committed with him. Okay, yeah. Tavid Jenkins, their first round pick from two years ago, is playing right guard now. So they could use Scrantzky at left guard or right tackle. I mean, yeah, he feels like a slam dunk pick from them there. It's just because of how versatile he is and just, you know, they can figure out there.

They can still, well, we'll know what happens in free agency before we get to the draft. even if they do sign Orlando Brown, they can adjust. But whatever happens in free agency, he'll be able to fit somewhere on that offensive line. Parris Johnson's a good fit too, though. I mean, he's a two-year starter at guard and then played tackle last year very well. So, I mean, either one of those guys gives them the flexibility they need to be the best versions of themselves.

Yeah, they're going to be, they're in a good spot to say the least. Yeah, and if the thing too is if they really want, say they feel, say they do sign Orlando Brown Jr. And they feel good at tackle because maybe that, who's the guy they drafted last year? Fifth round pick. I can't remember why I'm blanking on his name for whatever reason. But I mean, he could be your rotational guy or you could play right tackle. And then you could go, you could get an interior offensive lineman at pick 54 or pick 62. The Bears have three picks in like.

like a 10-pick span at the end of the second round. They're 54, 62, and 65. They're going to all be good players there. Yeah, that's a really nice range to draft players. Do you think they add to the, you know, I know you already mentioned they may take a receiver at nine. Do they potentially do that later in the draft after taking an offensive line? I mean, they're still going to, like we were just talking about with the Panthers,

there's going to be receivers in the second round. Yeah, that's a great way of doing it. I mean, looking at my scores on my sheet, Parker Washington would be a guy, maybe end of the second round, early third. They could get Jaden Reed. Even Marvin Mims. I don't know how the NFL is going to value him.

I don't understand how this guy's not a consensus top 50 pick, honestly. But Tyler Scott, another one. You know, I think I'm higher on him than the NFL probably is. So these are all candidates. Charlie Jones, I know as a guy you like. I'm considering him with that third round pick at 65. Yeah. There's a ton of John Mingo.

Like there's a ton of receivers in that range. So to your point, I think Skoronsky or Paris Johnson at 9 probably makes the most sense. But giving Fields, Jackson Smith, and Jigba kind of just feels nice. You know, that's... Yeah, there... Really have any overlap. I mean, they'll find out. I mean, Fields can't make it work with if it was him, Mooney, and DJ Moore, I mean, Colquemette.

Col Commit. They're going to have to draft a running back at some point. I don't think Montgomery comes back. And they definitely like Khalil Herbert, but we talk about all the time that, you know, super late round running backs tend to get replaced pretty easily. He was a fifth round pick, if I remember. Yes. So they could, you know, there's going to be plenty.

of running backs in that back of the second round that they may like. I mean, this Bears team should be so significantly better than it was this past year. Yeah. Real quick, I tweeted a, the get Justin Wright plan. I just did a quick mock draft in the PFF mock draft simulator. Tell me what you think of this hall. Number nine, I went Jackson Smith and Jigba. 54 I went Luke Weibler, Center from Ohio State.

He is a early second grade for me, and I got him at 54, so I was very happy with that. 61 was Sam Laporta, tied in from Iowa, to pair with Cole Comet. Porter's more of a move, slot weapon. Pick 64,

so third round pick, 64 there. Blake Freeland, tackle from BYU. And then, that was a freak athlete. He tested amazingly at the combine. So he's more of a developmental tackle,

but he could be very good. And then pick 66, I went Zach Charbonnet. If you dropped, if you dropped Patrick, my homes on this offense they'd win the Super Bowl right I'm saying so we just got to we just got to figure out what we have in Mahomes and in fields you did I say Mahomes yeah we know we have in my homes you tricked me that is that is that is nuts I mean yeah you if you want to talk about

figure out what your QB is that would be a way to do it there'd be zero doubts and and throw a big contract with Orlando Brown Jr just throw everything on the table Because honestly, until you know what you have in fields, it doesn't matter what you put on defense. I'm sorry. No, it doesn't really matter. Forcake it for finding out how good fields is. And if everything hits and then he turns into a great player, then that makes playing defense a lot easier because your offense is a little time. Yeah.

They're not going to, yeah, they are definitely not going to do that draft plan. No. But they should. They could. Yes, they could. So then what does this do, what do you think this does to kind of the draft order as a whole? What does Indianapolis do right now? What does the Raiders do right now?

Are they now like, oh, man, like we have to do something? Do you think they try to stay pat where they are and just take whatever falls to them? The Raiders are going to have to really feel good about their intelligence collecting. Because Carolina's taking a quarterback, Houston's taking quarterback. you're assuming Indies taking quarterback. And so Vegas needs information on three levels. They need to know who those three quarterbacks going ahead of them are likely to be. And they need to know if Seattle or Detroit's considering a quarterback.

That's a whole other layer. Yeah. So that's complicated. If I'm Las Vegas and I am looking at this situation going, man, I only really like one of these guys or two of these guys. I got to get to three. you know, I got to get the three overall. So I think you could see a trade there because they're going to have to get ahead of Seattle or Detroit, presumably. Or not, I guess I shouldn't say presumably, but there's a chance they have to get ahead of those guys.

And they might have to get ahead of Indianapolis as well to get the guy that they want. And I mean, you saying that they have to do that it has to put a little bit of fear into Indy as well of do we need to move up a spot or something or like maybe with Chicago. or something, who knows, and just make sure that we get a guy that we like. Because if they get leaf-frogged by any of those Seattle, Detroit, or Vegas to three, now they're taking whatever the fourth guy is on their list or no QB at all. Or Atlanta. Atlanta's in play, too. True.

Atlanta is also in play. Yeah, it's going to be fascinating because you could be like Seattle and get your pick between Will Anderson and Jalen Carter. I mean, that's wild. Yeah. I don't think Detroit harder, but I do think they would take Anderson. Yeah. Arizona now, I mean, they have, they're kind of in a spot that the bears were just in.

Like, it feels like they should definitely be on the phone with teams to looking to move back because why not? I mean, you know, it might be one spot to Indy. It could be to five or six. It could be to eight, seven or eight. and they would still, you know, maybe they miss out on Will Anderson and Jalen Carter, but they're still going to get a good player there for sure. And then if you can get a haul with it, a team, they're a team that needs some fresh young talent as well. Yep.

All right. Let's talk quickly about the Jalen Ramsey trade. It doesn't have a ton of draft implications, but it has some. Ramsey gets traded to the Miami Dolphins for a third round pick and Hunter Long, which is a throw-in, honestly. Sorry, Derek Brown, but Long is not that dude. Miami now has what, one pick in the top? I mean, what, 85? Oh, they do have a second-round pick still.

They have a second-round pick and a third-round pick, but only four picks total. with only six and seven after that. Yeah, so I mean, they're sitting in an interesting position. I kind of evaluated this trade as they felt like they needed first round talent to get better and they didn't have a first round pick. So they got a first round pick or a first round talent for a third round pick. Yeah, they're going to have to pay them, but it was a pathway to getting better. Now, I don't know that they should be the team going full L.A. Rams because I don't think they're there.

But well, the Rams did it with Jared Gough. I mean, they could certainly do it with Tua. Golf is better than Tua. Especially that. They have their own issues. I mean, golf definitely does things better than Tua, for sure. I mean, honestly, they're decently similar players and their skill sets. Yeah.

That's what I was getting at. General lack of mobility. They're both pretty accurate throw. I mean, very accurate passers. not a ton of umph to push the ball down the field in time. Although golf has a much better arm than Tua. Yeah, Gough's got to can throw a deep ball for sure. Yeah, it is, it is, their track is similar.

Just Tua has all the injury stuff though as well. That's, yeah, for sure. They just don't seem like they're in position to push the cart forward the way they are. I mean, Tua's going to be playing on a fifth year option. What if he's not healthy next year? Like, you put all your eggs in a win now bucket and you don't even might not even have a quarterback. Yeah, this is the opposite of what the bears are doing.

Well, they're both trying to surround their young KB with talent, except now the bears have loads of picks to replace him if it doesn't work out. And Miami is not going to be able to do that. If you remember, Miami, they were the king of draft capital for a while. Yeah. Every year they were trading back and trading back and collecting all these extra first. I mean, they had three first round picks one year. Yeah, Laramie and Tunsell got them a bunch of picks from Houston, right? Yep. And then they did the trade with San Francisco to get more for the trade lands deal or whatever.

So, I mean, they've completely flipped. Now they've gone from we're stockpiling draft capital to we don't want any draft capital. It is what it is. But the other draft implication, Chris, that's a little underrated. And no one's really talking about is Detroit was the other big landing spot for Ramsey. They were the other team that was connected to him throughout the process. You had at least five Detroit line players actively lobbying Ramsey to come. to Detroit on Twitter.

And Brad Holmes obviously has a connection to Ramsey from his time in L.A. Detroit desperately needs an upgrade at cornerback. So it's like, you know, they're sitting there at six and everyone's been mocking them CB consistently. That's almost feels like a lock now, right? Like if they didn't get Ramsey, I guess they could go sign Jamel Dean or something crazy, but I don't see them doing that. I see them maybe going for a lower key free agent and then also adding a rookie at six.

Yeah, if they don't add a bigger name corner in free agency, like a Jamel Dean James Bradbury or something like that, they, yeah, I'd say they have to do something at corner. They cannot continue to go into a season with the same secondary talent that they've had the past two years. Right. I think the guy they're going to go after is Cam Sutton, by the way. Yeah, I wonder what he will cost relative to the other, the bigger name guys.

He's going to be a little cheaper. more in their free agency wheelhouse. Brad Holmes, I don't think he's a guy who likes to go after the top dudes. And then he also can play inside or out. And they love that versatility because Akuta's the same way. So they like to play matchups. And so if they can play matchups and have guys shadow, that's nice. I think he probably fits what they're looking to do better than Brad Barry or some of the other guys.

No, Jamel Dean is the exception because he is a great press man corner. he can be physical to line of scrimmage and they play a lot of press man. So, you know, I just don't see them breaking the bank for him. But regardless of that, I do think Detroit is fully in the market for CB now at 6 with Ramsey getting traded as a Dolphins. What do you think that the trade means for the corner market as a whole, both free agents, players on teams and just like as corner being, I mean, that sounds like a steel to get Ramsey. Obviously, you have to pay him. But it costs them, you know, it didn't cost them much at all. corners being overvalued, undervalued.

No, that's because the age. He's going to be 30 next year. And then he was also demanding an extension. So he got an extra year and like an extra $25 million and guaranteed money put on his deal. So his cap hit the next three years is going to be $22 to $24 million. That's expensive. If I'm Jamel Dean, I'm excited. Like, oh, thank you, Jalen.

That was brilliant negotiating on your part. Now I'm going to go collect the bag. So you're saying teams are willing to still go out. after a corner. So we may see a run on corners in the first round that, you know, maybe there's an extra guy or two that currently we're not usually being mocked in the first round.

Yeah, possibly the issue this year is there's like a collection of 10 guys. Actually, I think I scraped this data last week. There's 10 different cornerbacks being mocked in the first round by all the different sources. Really? That's way more.

I can't even think of who the 10 are off the top of my head. I know the obvious ones. Dang it. Now you're testing. So it's Gonzalez and Witherspoons are locks. Joey Porter is a lock. Witherspoon, Gonzalez, Porter, Banks, Cam Smith, Emmanuel Ford, Clark Phillips, Travious Hodges Tomlinson, Keely, Ringo.

DJ Turner now is getting first round because he ran a 4-2-something-40. Is he a first-round player? No. But did he run a 4-2-something-40? Yes. And we see this all the time. Eric Stokes a couple years ago was not, did not have the cleanest college tape in the world, goes at the combine scorches of 4, 2, 5, 40, or whatever it was gets drafted in the first round by the Packers.

It happens. And he's probably been better than I thought he would be, to be quite fair. So it happens. But yeah, so I think I counted nine actually, not 10, right? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Yes. No, 10. That's a lot.

That was over the last 60 days. 10 different corners have been mocked in the first round. So to your point, Chris, I don't know that that means we'll get an extra one, but I do think maybe in the top 50, you see those 10 guys go. That would be a lot. That'd be, yeah, that's a lot. 50 picks. Yeah.

So, yep. Any other implications with that trade? Probably not really, right? Not really draft. We'll see. So there was a report that Darius Slay might be seeking a trade from the Eagles. We'll see what that, if this trade influences that at all. It's for, I mean, he's got even a bigger salary than Ramsey, I think, currently.

Yeah, it's a $26 million hit. Although if he got traded, I think the Eagles eat some of that. I don't know if they can. Well, I don't think there's a legal workaround. I think they have to. Yeah, yeah, yes, yes. Slating even costs his next team $26 million on the cap this year is what I'm saying. Yes, yes.

I'm saying they're not going to, I don't think they'll purposely take more money off the table for whoever trades for them. True. So yeah, we'll see if this trade impacts that at all. I mean, not looking great for my Eagles to roll back any kind of the same team that they just did this year. I'm sorry, man. It's the price you pay for a Super Bowl. Yeah. All right, Chris, let's get out of here.

We did it. We'll be back. Well, I'll be back tomorrow. I have the guest lineup this week is actually kind of insane. I don't want to, I don't want to jinx myself, but we have Ian Cummings from Pro Football Network coming. We have Thor Nystrom from Fantasy Pros.

We have Steve Palazolo of Pro Football Focus. And then we have Lance Zerline at the end of the week. There's a chance he bumps till the beginning of the next week, though, so I don't want to jinx myself. but this is a star-studded guest lineup for this week. You are officially in the presence of greatness. And with that, we are out. Thanks for tuning in to this edition of the Fantasy Points podcast.
