Theo Greminger and Brett Whitefield for fantasy points here on fantasy football daily. We are through the NFL draft. We officially have landing spots for everyone. And we are deep in the weeds of Dynasty rookie draft week. For most managers, the Dynasty rookie drafts are going to be a couple of days. I am on the clock in one league. I have league starting up today, tomorrow. But a lot of people, it's sort of the Saturday after.

day three. So we are really trying to unpack a lot of information in a very quick amount of time. We're going to hopefully get you through some potential on the clock decisions as well. We're not just going to say we like everybody. We're going to make a couple of draft this guy over this guy arguments. So Brett, we had a chance to stream day one, day two. It was just awesome. Big shout out to everybody at fantasy points who appeared on our pod. I mean, unbelievable. This is my first year doing with you guys. But unbelievable. depth of talent on the roster that we have at fantasy points now in terms of just great fantasy football minds collectively coming on and putting together something just really, really cool.

So I was happy to be a part of that. I think we crushed it. And you absolutely crushed it, Brett, because a lot of your takes came into fruition. Like big like brush your shoulders off type week for you. Jackson Dart ends up going the first round like you told everybody for two years. And RJ Harvey Harvey ends up being the RB-6. off the board, RB five, RB5 off the board, correct? RB5 off the board.

And not only that, but he goes inside of round two to the nuts landing spot of Denver. Brett had him as his RB3 heading into the NFL draft. A lot of people, like we said this for weeks, Brett, they're going to have to correct their takes on RJ Harvey. You've already seen it on a bunch of other sites. Fantasy points, we didn't have to do anything. He was right there. Yep.

Yeah, thanks for joining too, man. I was glad to get you in there. And we kind of, we went a different direction with the stream this year. And I thought it was awesome. So, yeah. It was just fantastic. So let's start to unwrap it a little bit because, you know, we had a lot of these takes while we were on the stream.

But the podcast audience didn't necessarily listen to them. It's one player who's really difficult to kind of unpack here is Jalen Milro. So Milro does not get the excessive draft capital that we thought he could. There was a lot of rumors for like the last two weeks heading into the draft that Milro could end up inside of the first round. And if not, he would go inside of the top 40 picks. That seemed like a pretty decent bet to make. In fact, he doesn't. He falls, but he falls well, I would argue.

Ends up going in round three to the Seattle Seahawks. Unpack this one a little bit. Your thoughts on Milro and does he have the opportunity to win the job this year? Is this a developmental pick? And how safe should Sam Darnold managers be? after this one. Yeah, it's a good question. I kind of, like, other than the three spots that had just open quarterback situations,

this is probably the next best landing spot, Sam Donald on a very short-term contract, another prove-it deal for him. They can escape that contract. Is it only a year? It's a two-year, but with a fake year built in, right? It's essentially you just said it. It's a two-year deal on paper, but they can get out of it. And I wonder how much of a leash he has there.

And I think just a quick, quick note, Seattle crushed the draft. Like this is a, they went super heavy athletic in a number of positions and really crushed it. But the Mill Roan is the one that can make this very good draft into a special draft for them. So I don't know. I think there's a lot of people in the building who really like him in Seattle as well. It's eerily reminiscent of the Russell Wilson draft. Like it's, it really is. high level athletes, even Nick Imanwari.

I think Russ got drafted the same year as Cam Chancellor, so that's kind of funny. But Mill wrote, yeah, so like in Sam Darnold, I know the stat line last year was fine. It was good. He led his team to 14 wins. I had been banging the drum all season long that the tape wasn't matching the production. And I think you see that with the contract again. I don't think the Seattle Seahawks really believe that that's who he is. And so I think Milro for sure has a chance to win the job, whether it's this year or not, I don't know.

it's definitely not going to be right away. I think Milrow has some development he needs, like throwing the football, for example, not a strong suit. But the athletic upside, if he gets on the field at all, Theo, I mean, this is a guy you're starting in fantasy football in pretty much every format. Yeah, it's a no-brainer. Because when you talk about Milrow, you're talking about a guy who can rush for a thousand yards. And I think if we said he's going to start every game this year, we'd put the over under on rushing yards at like 950. And I don't think that's that's a hyperbole at all. he's extremely fast. He's put up rushing yards at the highest level of college football.

And he's also a guy who won a lot of huge games. So you wonder with Seattle, this is sort of an interesting year. They end up, they end up with one of the better draft classes, I think, collectively as a whole. We mentioned the athleticism they were able to add. I mean, they even add what like Damien Martinez in the seventh round. They get Elijah Royo in the third round. So I think they did very, very well, addressed a lot of their offensive line concerns with Gray Zabel in the first. So we'll keep an eye on this one.

Now, if you're talking about Jalen Milrow, though, we can both say we're optimistic. Where would you be comfortable selecting him inside of a dynasty rookie draft? And let's say Superflex, of course. He's out of the first round. That ship has sailed. But is this a guy that you think people should be aggressively trying to add in the middle of the second round if they need upside at the quarterback position. Like, where is your comfort level?

That's a great question. I'd have to find what my cutoff point is, right? Like, where do I feel like I stop finding players that can help me this year at wide receiver running back in tight end? But it probably is right around that mid to late second round, for sure, early third round. Yeah, so I'll ask you this, basal tutin, Cam Scataboo.

Yeah. Or just take Jail and Milro. So, whew, that is, you put me on blast here. I love that. That's the kind of decision I think people have to make. So it's those kind of guys versus Milro. Trey Harris is, I know for you, it'll be Milro over Harris probably. Yeah, I think all three of those guys.

So there you go. And again, that sort of shows the conviction of the upside of Milro from Brett because we'll unpack Cam Scadaboo and Basial Tutin, but those are two of the guys that are going to be going, towards the top of second rounds in Dynasty Superflex drafts. Like both those guys landed extremely well. It's running back profiles that we liked heading in. Now they have kind of clean, clean landing spots.

So Milro, I'm sort of the same way. Whenever you feel like the dangerous impact guys are done at other spots that you really need, take a shot on Milro. There's a chance it's a pick that you're completely burning on fire. But if Milrow gets on the field, Brett, I would argue that he's going to be a guy that you can flip for a first round pick because he's going to put up fantasy numbers. So all it takes is getting on the field.

So if it's a dynasty theory argument, getting that sort of asset that can crush it. Like on the flip side, if Cam Scatabu has a Tyler Algear like rookie year, where it's a thousand rushing yards, catches some balls, he's not going to flip you a first because people are going to say, you know, we went fourth round, all that kind of stuff. Quarterback's way different. For sure. And the thing with Miller, like I know a lot of things. people are concerned about the passing, but Justin Fields had a top

Q, or top five QB season, like averaging 13 drop, uh, pass attempts a game. That's, that's all you need to do when you can run the way the road can run. So I wouldn't be too concerned about that. If the dude gets on the field, what does Scott Barrett always say upside wins championships? Take the upside shot for sure. So let's pivot over to the red. We'll, we'll quickly get this one out of the way. This, let's spend like 30 seconds on this one. Tyler Shuck goes, uh, the 40th overall pick, is essentially the bridge quarterback for New Orleans. This is my main question for you,

because I think this kind of answers the super flex drafters dilemma. He's a guy that nobody wanted to draft. Now he sort of has to be drafted. What are the chances Tyler Shuck is a two-year starter in New Orleans, that he does enough to hold on the job for next year, and New Orleans, which is a team, we're projecting that even if they play over expectations, they are going to end up with a top 15 pick next year.

if not higher. Yeah. And potential for a top five pick. So like, what are the chances he can hold on to this job for two years? Because if it's a two year starting job, then I can make an argument for drafting him. If it's a he oversees a bad offense that wins four games and gets replaced, that it seems sort of like a bad bet pick for dynasty managers. Yeah, I think he's, that's tough, Theo, because like, look at recently like Josh Rosen, you know,

I could see an outcome like that where the Cardinals drafted him. I was even in the first round. They went with Kyle and Murray the next year. Will Levis, you know, got benched his second year. He was basically drafted in the same slot as his Shuck. So, and now he's replaced by Cam Ward officially. So I don't know. I would say it's 50-50.

He gets a second year. Yeah. And I really don't like the tape either, Theo. That's the other component here. Like, I have to value my evaluation. He doesn't profile as a high-level starter to me. So if the Saints stink this year and he's just kind of mediocre, he for sure gets replaced next year with the top 10 pick.

Yeah, I mean, I'll put it lower than 50-50. Like they seem to like him. But again, we're projecting them to be picking very highly next year. There's going to be all kinds of pressure in that building to get Archmanning. And even if they don't go with Archmanning, there's going to be about three or four other quarterbacks that were projecting to go inside of the top 15. Like next year, I think is a quarterback correction class. This year we only had one quarterback.

go inside the top 10. Next year it could be back to like three or four guys. So I think New Orleans, it's shaky ground for them to justify keeping Shuck as the starter. I think it's a bridge quarterback. I think they absolutely like him, but it's a difficult bet for me to make. So for me, Tyler Shuck, I probably am going to pass on. And if he lands inside of the third round, then I'm taking a chance on him because of the quick opportunity to flip him.

If he just simply is the New Orleans Saints starter, somebody in your league is going to pay a second because of the scarcity of starting quarterbacks in Superflex. Sure, that makes sense. Okay, so let's take a quick break. We come back. Victory lapping time. We're starting out by talking about RJ Harvey

and a few other running backs that landed extremely well on day two. Welcome back, Theo Graminger, Brett Whitefield. We are talking about rookie risers and rookie sleepers, getting you ready to crush your dynasty rookie drafts this week. Let's talk about R.J. Harvey. Unbelievable nuts landing spot to Denver. Your rookie year expectations. Does he stay at at RB3?

Like, where are you at with him? I think I move him up to RB2, but I know I'm on an island there, Theo, so I don't want to mislead the listeners necessarily. But I stand by Chris Wecht, our projections slash director of analytics guy here at Fantasy Points. He's projecting RJ Harvey as the RB2 next year of among rookies. and then I just love the tape.

I love the landing spot more than I love Hampton's landing spot. I think if you go back, you're really deep dive on Greg Roman's history all the way back to like San Francisco, circa 2011, 12. You can find evidence that Hampton's going to be a Belcow RB1 type for sure. I think Sean Payton's recent history is way more impressive

with running back. So I'm going to go R.J. Harvey as my RB2. And I'm taking him second or third in Superflex drafts. And again, I realize I'm on an island, so I'm sure that people want to hear your take, too. Well, Brett, do yourself a favor. You can trade down and get R.J. Harvey. Yeah, like we're seeing, and I'm seeing people hit me up on X with these boards where it's like Ted McMillan over Ashton Genty, a bunch of boards that are existing. Yeah, I saw.

And I'm like, and I'm like, just take a little time. Trade down. Like, you're doing Dynasty all year long. You don't have to have this pick and, like, show everybody how much you love someone. You can trade down to the 102 and get Ted McMillan. every time. With RJ Harvey, I think that if you believe he's, he's that pick, I think that the 108 is going to be safe to get RJ Harvey in Dynasty Superflex leagues, because I, especially with tight end premium, in so much in play, people are going to take Ward, they're going to

take Henderson, et cetera. It comes down to whenever you see that Quinchon Judkins is still on the board, then you kind of make your move if you really, really have that conviction. Judkins is going to go ahead of him in most leagues. So, but it's, it's probably like 6040, Judkins versus Harvey at this point because of this late steam. So I've seen like guys, I really trust their, like Ray GQ, a good friend of ours. Yeah. He's got Harvey ahead of Hampton too. And so if enough sharps like that are saying this, I feel like it's going to steam Harvey up a little bit.

Maybe not up to where I'm saying 102, 103, but this is what trading, that's why trading back worries me. It's like, what if I trade to five and then someone takes him at four or, or you get what I'm saying? Like it gets tricky. Go and get your guy works. But I think if you're, if you're simply looking at most leagues, I feel like they're going to, unless your league is in extreme running back craziness, Travis Hunter, Ted McMillan with their landing spots are both going to go there. I just like it's at the point. Yeah, it's at the point. You don't need to be the highest on, like you can be the highest on Harvey and get him everywhere in your league at the 106.

So, yeah, I'm with you. I want to exposure to Harvey, but I also want to have like, I want to play this thing extremely well. You also could be able to add a second rounder next year by trying to move pivot down to him. So Hampton Harvey, like, I can get a lot more for, I can get a lot more for Hampton than I can for Harvey on the trade market. So I think like you're able to get Harvey plus plus. Yeah, what's that? Because he was drafted in the first round. Because he was drafted in the first round and also heading in a lot of these guys lock in their, their takes.

on players before the landing spots. And they'll adjust a little bit, but it's sort of like take lock with, like some of these guys are too big to fail sort of name. So, and we do like Hampton. It's just like, like Sarj Harvey a lot. So I'm still Hampton ahead of Harvey,

but I want a ton of Harvey exposure as well. Let's keep this going. Quinn Sean Judkins, we both mentioned him. And it's sort of like a little bit of a changing narrative here, where he gets drafted in the second round. We're sort of standing on our head. he's drafted 36th overall, which is excessive draft capital for a running back.

We start looking at guys that hit in fantasy football, getting that top 40 draft capital is a great, great sign for these guys. So we're talking about Judkins in this high volume role. Judkins is going to eat. Like, we felt great about this one. We had John Hanson on. John Hanson was pounding the table for him. We had, like every guest we had on that night from fantasy points was bullish on Judkins.

even Scott Barrett sort of did a Judkins correction very quickly. But then Brett, we have a turn of events. Round four, Dylan Samson. So Cleveland double taps the position. They take Dylan Samson in round four. And every time I start, and I'm working on my rookie draft article, my rankings are up at fantasy points or they should be up soon.

But I have this article where I'm giving like my top 36 and I'm writing the guys up. I keep like having trepidation for Judkins because this Dylan Samson pick, I mean, it really sucks for him. They like Samson a lot. And I think there's a fear that this is going to be a 60, 40 backfield. Last year they were 31st in rushing touchdowns. And they draft two guys who are very, very good at scoring touchdowns at the college level. They also like they seem to want to protect the bad quarterback play by doing this with drafting two running backs. They're very high on in the building.

Yeah, I think that's for sure true. So this situation, I'm not 180ing on Judkins. I'm still excited about the landing spot, but you have to look at it. And Theo, we knew this was going to happen to somebody where this draft was so deep at running back. We knew there would be a team to double tap, right? Like that was expected. We knew someone, at least one team would do it. The Cleveland Browns ended up being that team.

So the nice thing for me is I really like Judkins tape. I really did not like Samson's tape. And I know that might be controversial. So to me, Samson shouldn't, in theory, be a threat to Judkins. But when you look at the differentiating skill sets where Samson profiles as that high level change of pace guy who could potentially develop as a really good receiver, who is very explosive, then you start to get a little nervous, right? Because the range of outcomes here is pretty wide.

You could get a 60-40 split at some point with Judkins Samson's. And that makes me very nervous. Yeah, it makes me very, very nervous as well. I worry a little bit about hot hand. I do think like when we look at the profiles and we take a deep breath and we go bird's eye view, Juddins is going to have a much better career. He's a true bell cow back. He's got this insane college production that's certainly a much larger sample size than Samson. Samson had like Samson was pretty good next to Jeline Wright last year, but nothing like he was this year where he was the most productive back in the SEC.

Judkins did it for three years. Judkins goes two rounds higher. But at the end of the day, Dylan Samson goes in the fourth round when they already took Judkins. So for me, it's just like I have to temper my year one, Quinshon Judkins takes a little bit. When we were on the pod with John, I sort of said Judkins could be this guy that we take in the end of round three in redraft. I think it's probably more like the end of round four now just because of the potential. annoying usage of Samson and the fact that we have overall concerns about Cleveland scoring a ton of points regardless of who's the running back. So that's sort of where I'm at with Judkins.

We're still absolutely taking him inside of the first round, but I'm not like steaming him up. And I'm definitely not taking him ahead of Trayvion Henderson. So Trayvion Henderson is the sixth pick in the second round, goes with the 38th overall pick to New England. Unlike Judkins, every time I keep unpacking this role and landing spot over the last few days, I get more and more bullish about it. The Patriots have a mobile quarterback creating incredible rushing lanes for a home run hitting back like Henderson. They also have a offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels, who has been known to pepper running backs with targets, multiple running backs during his time as a head coach with targets.

and you have a lack of big time weapons and past catchers in the offense as a whole. So like Henderson, to me, there's a chance that when you show up in 2026 in New England, you see a ton of people wearing Travion Henderson jerseys because he just makes all these explosive plays and ends up finishing as like a running back 15 this year. Yeah. Also, let's just check out this offseason New England's head on the offensive side of the ball. they've replaced three starters on the offensive line. They arguably have completely rebuilt their wide receiver core and have three new starters there.

And Stefan Diggs, Mack Hollins, and Kyle Williams. They draft Travion Henderson. Like they are all in, this is one of my favorite drafts because it was a all in push on the development of Drake May, which is needed. So yeah, I said live on the pod that I like the landing spot for Trayvion. I'm a little worried because Ramandre Stevenson is,

he's a good player. Like he just is. He's a bigger, early down successful kind of guy. And we saw all, despite, you know, the Dionne Lewis's of the world and the James whites of the world, McDaniels has also deferred to a bigger back on earlier downs, whether it was like Garrett Blunt or Cory Dill. We can go way back if we want. But they always had that guy in the fold.

So I just worry that, you know, and Henderson's, let's not get a choice. Henderson is a significantly better player. than James White and Dionne Lewis and those guys. So I'm not saying they're comparable, but I do worry that Ramandre has enough of a workload to kind of take the high end, you know, fantasy desirability away from Trayon Henderson. Just a little bit.

I'm worried a little bit. I'm still drafting him probably about his ADP, though. Yeah, I think that's fair. But I think if we want to look at it from a perspective, like another backfield, every time we have a two-headed monster now, I read on New Jersey.com. They want to make Tyrone Tracy and Camp Scataboo,

the Jemir Gibbs and David Montgomery. It doesn't work out like that. It's like people want to emulate that, but Detroit was able to sort of just crush it doing that. A lot of times it gets way messy. But when I look at the, if we're saying it's the Detroit model, especially for fantasy managers,

we understand that one. It's sort of like, what would the Gibbs role look like with 15% more usage? And Stevenson in the David Montgomery role, minus 15%. That's sort of like the way I see it falling, where Henderson is going to get, it's way less, like Stevenson to me is

way less of a threat than a guy like Montgomery would be to Gibbs. Stevenson's sort of done his thing there. Running back 27 in consecutive seasons, he's been on the field a lot for offenses that had trouble scoring. That's not necessarily his fault. I agree he does some things.

We saw his ability as a receiver early on in his career. He's a big back who can move. but I think it's going to be fewer touches for him. And we saw Antonio Gibson cut into him over the second half of last year. So keep an eye on that one as well. I'm drafting Henderson enthusiastically. Not sure where he's going to fall in my overall. I'll have the overall rankings again up at fantasy points very soon,

hopefully by like Tuesday. Keep this thing going. We talked about Harvey. We talked about Judkins. We talked about Henderson. All of those guys are going to go inside of the first round of dynasty rookie drafts. then we get to the two running backs where these guys are both going to go towards the beginning of round two.

So we're going to flag plant here. You're not going to be able to get Cam Scatabu and Basial Tutin unless you have like two early seconds. Yeah. So pick one. Would you rather have Basial Tutin or Cam Scatabu? I've workshopped this conflict in my head 17 different times and I come up with a different answer every time to show you how close it is. I am going to flag plant though. I think

Bachel Tutin I'm going to stand on the tape here and I think he's a better player than Kim Skadabob I had him higher in my my pre-draft evaluations and then he's paired with Liam Cohen who is a run game phenom we saw what he did with the bucks he turned one of the worst rushing teams in the NFL

to actually the best rushing team in the NFL on a per carry basis Tampa Bay was the best rushing team in the NFL last year I think he's going to have a similar impact in Jacksonville. And I know the pathway to the field in year one isn't super clear. They have Travis Etienne and Tank Biggsby, who might be a fake player. But man, I got to stand on Tutin here.

I'm going, I'm going Basial Tutin. Yeah, I'm completely with you. And we both had him, like our rank, we have our rankings. We were able to see other fantasy points, content creators rankings. I would say the two of us were very, very high on Tutin. A few other people were high on Tutin as well. but I certainly had him ahead of Cam Scataboo. I had him like four spots ahead of Cam Scatabu,

and I'm going to stick to my guns here. It was pre-draft evaluation of the talent and the potential for fantasy football success. I was on Tutin. I also like the landing spot better. And I know that the Giants landing spot, it's a clear pathway, but I think Tyrone Tracy is better

than Travis ETS and Tank Bigsby. And I worry about it being a real split in New York. Whereas I think when it comes to, to Liam Cohen, there's a chance that Tutin can be the main back in a committee and the high value touch guy with explosiveness. I just think it's Tutin. If we're talking about the fantasy dream season, who has the best possible season in their outcomes?

Because anytime we get to day three backs, we need to keep a short term perspective. Even for guys we like, there are very few Aaron Jones types in the league. A lot of these guys are more on the trajectory where they have. maybe two seasons, and then they sort of get replaced. So when it comes to Tutin and it comes to Scataboo, I am on the Tutin has a higher ceiling case this year, and all those other factors. But at the same time, if he's gone,

I am absolutely fine drafting Cam Scadaboo as well. I still think he can be a fun player this year and maybe next year. They like him in New York. And I think that's an offense that with Jackson Dart, Malik neighbors, etc. They're also ascending. So we're okay drafting both, but we're both on Tutin head to head. Let's take two more quick ones.

Is Jarquez Hunter the Blake Corum killer? This one I really liked. Jarquez Hunter is a guy that I would say is a sleeper for people in rookie drafts. He goes inside of the fourth round as well. The L.A. Rams trade up to get him. So they have him targeted. Hunter, 1,200 rushing yards, eight rushing touchdowns, has speed. sort of the same size as Dorell Henderson,

if you want to find like a former Rams back. I think this is a shaky ground for Blake Corum managers. Yeah, so Blake Corum scored for me as a significantly better prospect than Jarquess Hunter, and I'm a big Jarquess Hunter guy. I just loved Corum's tape. The problem is, is he didn't get on the field at all last year. And it's a similar draft capital investment, right? Wasn't Corum a fourth rounder?

Corum was a third rounder. Okay. Yeah. Which, you know, no coach is going to care about that. Yeah. And again, I think that the trading up sort of, the trading up sort of evens out that bet. So like Blake Corum third round versus a guy you to trade up for in round four. It's similar enough.

Similar investment. Yeah. Hunter's obviously far more explosive than both Kyron Williams and Blake Corum. So I am definitely nervous about this for sure. I wouldn't say he's the Blake Corum killer because I really love Blake Corum as a prospect. So, but you, you'd be lying if you said you weren't nervous about this. Okay, so then let's take it one step further. Is this a reflection of Kairn Williams where the, and people can point towards the wide receiver

usage all they want, where there was the period of time where the Rams committed to Pukunakua and Cooper Cup collectively. They had like a 60% combined target share and the offense ran through him. But we had a period of time where that was happening where Kyrin Williams was not producing like he was the beginning of the year. Kyron Williams had a couple of good games towards the end, but Kyron Williams also had some issues with fumbles. And again, I know he's a McVeigh guy,

but they haven't extended Kyron Williams yet. Could this be coverage if they decide not to extend him? Oh, for sure. And I've listened to a lot of Shaw McVeigh's press conferences. I pretty much don't miss any of them. One thing they said recently before the draft was, he was really inspired by what Liam Cohen did in Tampa Bay last year

and he wants to take a lot of those concepts, a lot of that two-back pony type stuff. And so I think McVeigh's realizing, if you want to get the most out of your backfield, you have to have two competent backs with complementary skill sets. So I think the days of maybe that Belkow in L.A.

were typically McVeigh's preferred one back. I think those might be coming to an end. And I mean, it's tough to buy into that when we haven't seen it yet, but I'm listening to what McVeigh is saying. And this is what, this is what he's communicating to fans and to the team. And so it really does feel like a change is coming.

And by the way, McVeigh traditionally has been one of the, one of the few offensive coordinators that will change things to improve what they're doing. I remember they used to be an 11 personnel only team. They switched to a really heavy 12 personnel team when they had Gerald Everett and, Higbee. Higby, sorry, I always forget his name. And then they recently gone back to 11 personnel. They were an outside zone only team for a while.

then they went to a heavy duo's concept. Like they, they definitely, he's willing to change what he's doing to, to improve the team. So I kind of believe him here. Okay. So, you know, I'm with you. I think that like for me, it's a, I want to have access to all three of these guys because again,

the Sean McVeigh offense for running back is so productive. If in fact they're moving to a two back set, it bodes well for Corum or Hunter. And Hunter is a cheap enough bet for you to make to get a lot of access to him. Also, it's worth kicking the tires if you listen to Brett here. Like Blake Corum, I'm not the only person with the take that Hunter is a threat. You can make a buy low offer for Corum this week as well during like Dynasty Trade Madness. So I'm comfortable taking Hunter inside of the third round of rookie drafts.

And I think in some leagues he might steam into the end of the second. And I think Blake Corum, it's worth kicking the tires on with a third round offer. The one guy I'm not paying up for is Kyron Williams because I've seen a couple of Kairn trades go down. He's still commanding a first round pick in a lot of leagues. I'm not comfortable paying that just because I think there's a little bit more fear and uncertainty in the situation when it comes to Kairn. And he was always, like we said, a day three guy that kind of has punched way above his is a draft pick capital. Let's go lightning round here. Devin Neal, Tosh Brooks, Jordan James, or Woody Marks. Neil Brooks,

James, Marks. Pick one for dynasty managers. Neil James Brooks marks. Yep. All these guys are going to go close to one another in rookie drafts, sort of the, they have a chance to be the handcuff type guys in obviously different skill sets. Of the group he just gave me, I'd go Jordan James.

I think Jordan's, you know, he's a decent prospect, but from what I saw from CMC last year, he looks a little cooked. And even if he's not cooked this year, you got to imagine the end is nine with him. He's getting to that age. So, yeah, I think Jordan, and, you know, I'm not scared of Isaac Garendo at all. I don't think he's a very good player.

So, you know, being attached to Kyle Shanahan, I feel like this is a really good situation for James. Yeah, for me, I really want to say Devin Neal, but then we're talking about Devin Neal in the sixth round. It's a hard bet to make. Kendrae Miller versus Devin Neal is going to be a thing. and I don't know which way that is going to go. My bet would be on Devin Neal being able to beat out Kendrae. But again, Kenrey's young. Kenner was a high draft capital guy.

We don't know what Kellyn Moore thinks about Kendra Miller either. So for me, I'm going to agree with you. I actually think Jordan James is a good bet. I think Woody Marks is also a decent bet as well. And then quick, quick thoughts, Jaden Blue, Trevor E.N., is there any of these guys that went a little bit higher than anticipated? that you have a strong feeling about. I'm completely out on Jaden Blue.

Trevor E.T.N. See, I didn't love him as a prospect either, but he did land in a decent spot where I think Chuba is what he is. Jonathan Brooks, obviously going to miss most of the season, if not all of it. And then Rico Dottles, he's a decent player, but he's a jag.

You know, he's nothing special. ETS has that hot, that you call him high value touches. He has that in his profile. So I think he could get to a point where he is getting those high value touches. Let's take a quick break. And when we come back, let's start breaking down some of these wide receivers and tight ends. Okay, Brett, so we've got to, we spent a long time on running backs because that's a very important position for fantasy managers to nail in their dynasty rookie drafts, especially this year. But we had the, we anticipated there was going to be a lot of tight ends selected on day two.

It actually worked out extremely well. All of the tight ends that we projected to get strong draft caps. of our big six, all did. And when we look at round one, Loveland goes at the 10th spot, Tyler Warren at the 14th spot. That in itself is historically big to get two top 15 tight ends.

And then getting three more in the second round after the two in the first is a big testament to just how strongly the NFL views this collective tight end class. Let's unpack the landing spots. Elijah Royal was our tight end three going in. Do we love this landing spot? it's when we were on the on the stream we kind of talked about it for like two minutes and then we had to react to another pick but elijah royo big athletic player who can make catches downfield big play potential in an offense where everybody else is sort of a slot guy at heart yeah this is this spot is disgusting for him i love it discussing in a good way um go watch the press conference of coach and gm talking about a royo they were giddy they couldn't contain them

themselves. They were so pumped. The vertical element he's going to bring to that offense with with Jackson Smith and Jigba and Cooper Cup is just it's going to be special. I'm very, very excited about this one. In fact, like, I actually think there's a debate to be had on him whether he's tight end two in the class or not now with Tyler Warren, who's locked into a rough situation. So, yeah, I love this, man. This is awesome. Well, that's another one where, you know, Elijah Royal, if you want them, go and get them because you're not going to have to make that decision with Warren. Right. And

Arroyo, there's also, Brett, a lot of indecision between Arroyo, Terrence Ferguson, Mason Taylor, and Harold Fannan Jr. now that he landed early. So you can maneuver yourself to get a lot of Elijah Oroyo. I certainly will try to have a lot of Elijah

Royal in my drafts, and I'm very, very enthusiastic. I share everything that you said. And again, Brett, it was another, we really like this guy heading into the process. Now we love the landing spot. Don't overthink it type player. But I got to say, Terrence Ferguson also landed very, very well. This is another player where I want access to him because we're talking about a elite athlete tight end who gets second round draft capital. He's essentially the first pick of the LA Rams who maneuvered down.

So this, a lot of a lot of the Ferguson stuff I'm really into where McVe, we start unpacking like his history. His first draft pick in L.A. was Gerald Everett. Tyler Higby had a period of time where he was very, very, very good fantasy asset. And then go back to McVeigh's time in Washington talking about guys like Jordan Reed.

So McVeigh's always sort of been a move tight end guy. He's been chasing this. Now he gets one. Yeah. For I love the landing spot. I'm just not sure you're going to see a huge ROI early with Ferguson. You know, Tyler Higby is still there.

Now, maybe he's not by the time the season starts. But they do have two huge target earners in Pooka Nakuwa and Devanta Adams. In L.A., they have a negative pass rate over expectation. The last two years, negative pass rate over expectation, they get into these game scripts where they want to run the ball, they're going to control the clock, they play slow. So I don't know that the opportunity early on is going to be there for Ferguson. So I'm a little more hesitant early, like long term for sure.

love it. Early ROI, I just don't know that you'll get a ton out of them. And I think that's fair. And I think you have to like when you're drafting tight ends, if we're spending a first round pick on Colston Loveland, we're spending a first round pick on Tyler Warren, they better give you some production year one. When you're using a second round pick in tight end premium, it's sort of a, this is an investment you're making. Elijah Royal, we're hoping you get some year one production. But again, it could be like an annoying buildup. And a lot of times the tight ends that hit for us in fantasy as rookies,

it's not always a Laporte of Bowers. A lot of times that situation looks like a Pat Friarmouth, it looks like a Chigacanquo, where you have to wait for half of the season and then you're able to put them in your lineup, maybe week eight on. So even with the Royal, that could be the case. So like with Ferguson, I agree with you.

If you're getting Ferguson, it's a 2026 big breakout type bet. And if you get anything in 2025, just be kind of happy about it. I would say that he's sort of a, he'll be drafted around like tight end 30 in, in best ball. And that seems about right because I think with his athleticism, he could have some spike weeks. But I still want access to him.

Mason Taylor lands in New York. It goes very, very highly as we anticipated. New York has no other pass catchers. So like Mason Taylor was a guy that we would always kind of project to be a very complete tight end who will be a very strong blocker, will never leave the field. But I think based on the lack of targets in New York, they might use him more as a pass catcher than some people anticipate. Yeah, they for sure could.

They have tenor egg strand call in the plays there too, who comes from the Detroit system. I think their first priority is going to be getting the run game straight in New York. But when you have Garrett Wilson and basically nobody else, I don't know what else. I mean, it is Justin Fields at quarterback. He's traditionally quarterbacked really low pass volume offenses. But even with that, he still produced a, what, a DJ Moore, wide receiver one season,

and Cole Komett, tight end one season in the same year. So actually, Cole Komett was a tight end, what, three or four that year overall. It was gross. So, yeah, I think Fields can do it. And he only has the two guys to work with. So, I mean, it's just not to get off subject here, but the Jets are so weird. When they pick Aryan Smith with the eighth pick in the fourth round, when you have Eilke Iyamanner, Jalen Royals,

like actual guys who can absorb a number of targets still on the board, it makes no sense to me. I know you're not a fan of Tori Horton, but at Tori Horton there, you would have said, okay, like. Yeah, way better than Aaron Smith. Way better than Aaron Smith. Like, Aaron Smith is like a super fast guy who's going to run a lot of cardio

and maybe make a couple splash plays here and there. Like, the pick makes no sense. Literally can't catch. makes no sense. And last year, they take Malachi Corley, like your ultimate, like, limited, limited targetry guy. So Jets are doing some weird things, not to get a soft subject, but Mason Taylor is a guy. I've always said this about Taylor. Like, Taylor's a guy where I think he's going to spend a lot of his career somewhere between, like, tight end 15 and tight end 20 range, which in fantasy, I think is fine. But now that the situation

it becomes a little bit more gets a draft capital and has maybe a higher chance of getting a higher target share in year one, I think you can move those expectations up slightly with this landing spot. I think they really, really like him. And again, he goes ahead of Ferguson. He goes ahead of Arroyo. He goes ahead of Fanon and all those guys get great draft capital. So I think the NFL viewed Mason Taylor as one of the cleaner prospects in this draft at the position.

So we want some access to him. Let's talk about Harold Fanon Jr. So Harold Fana Jr., great, great draft capital. Like this is a guy where we said if he could get top 70, even day two draft capital, it'll alleviate a lot of concerns, at least I had, about the NFL like overlooking him because of his athleticism, his size, that sort of stuff. So like Cleveland takes him more highly than we anticipated. But of course he has a boxed out situation at least this year with David Njoku.

Now, Cleveland can get away from Injoku when it comes to 2026, no problem. But does Harold Fanon, when you look at Cleveland's roster and skill position players, can he just be like a really fun player and they're in 12 a lot? It's Jerry Judy and then Cedric Tillman and not a whole lot else. I know Elijah Moore and all that is there. But Harold Fanon, to me, I don't think he's a guy that's going to end up starting fantasy games for me. But I do think he can make an impact and at least flash in year one. the plan has to be 12 personnel the browns didn't draft a single wide receiver and they have one of the worst wide receiver rooms in the league so they have to be viewing fanning as like a power slot type player for them that's the only thing i can come back to so yeah i you know i'm probably still going to draft him as the tight end six like where he was drafted but that's okay i like it's pretty rare for me to get excited about accumulating shares of the tight end six in a fantasy draft but this is one where i am getting excited about it so i think this is

great. Obviously some red flags. You have the Nijoku situation. You have the quarterback situation. They don't have a quarterback. They have Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dylan Gabriel and Cheduer Sanders. Who knows how that shakes out? That could be a rough path though for a little while. But yeah, ultimately, I want shares of him, but I'm

still going to draft them as the tight end six. I think that's fair. And I think that, like, again, it's temper your expectations for year one. But if we get Harold Fanon the starting tight end job in 26, I'm cautiously optimistic that's going to work out well. I'll also say that I love seeing when you get a team that has close proximity to the college, taking the player and taking

them ahead of where we projected them, it's sort of like they've had access to Harold Fanon Jr. Maybe a little bit more so than some of the other franchise in the league just because of the proximity. Like I love that. So a lot of the Harold Fanon landing spot, for me, it's, and we don't want to say that we like every tight end. I don't want to take this positive spin on every single player. But I think if you're a high volume dynasty manager, sprinkling shares of all these guys could work out. And a lot of pushback. People say Theo, you rarely get more than two fantasy-friendly tight ends coming out of any class. This class, we've always said could be a transformative one.

I think a year from now, all six of these guys could be like inside of the top 24 players at the position in redraft. That's how optimistic I am about them. So I think we were right about this tight-end class in our evaluation process, and the NFL told you we were right as well. Wide receivers, we're going to attempt to unpack right after this. Welcome back, Fantasy Football Daily. We're going to rip through the running backs, excuse me, the wide receiver position. We talked about on the stream, all the guys that went in round one,

let's leave those guys alone. Let's unpack round two and beyond, starting with Jaden Higgins. How enthusiastic are you about Higgins? Is he a first round pick in Dynasty Rookie Drowse? That's a you would know better than me. I don't know. Probably for me because I love the tape. I love the landing spot.

It's funny because he's very similar player to Nico Collins, who they already have. But I think you can obviously live with two guys that are awesome. So that's great. Yeah, probably for me, just because I love the tape. Yeah, I'm with you. And Higgins, like, I think in some leagues, you'll get them at the early second. Some leagues you may have to take them as high as like the 110, 111.

It comes down to your conviction and your leaguemate's conviction on guys like a Mecca, versus a guy like Jaden Higgins. Jaden Higgins has the clear path. Egbuka is a guy where it's a lot of targets to mouse to feed. But when we look at Jaden Higgins, like the T. Higgins comp, we made it on the stream, but this is where it's at. It's a big wide receiver who goes to the beginning of round two with a plus quarterback in C.J. Stroud and in a role where there's not a, like there's not a tight end sapping targets. And his teammate, Jalen Knoll is going to be his biggest competition for targets when it comes to getting on the field.

Like they told you a lot about what they think about Christian Kirk here. Like the Christian Kirk arguments for me go way downhill. I like Christian Kirk. I think Christian Kirk just continues Houston. in like it's sort of like when Houston got Robert Woods. They see a veteran that had success. They make a small bet on him. They're happy to have them in the room.

But at the end of the day, I think it's the rookies that are the biggest threats for the number two targeted role here. So like Jaden Higgins to me, if he's the number two target, you're talking about 100, 110 targets in that offense for him. I feel great about him. Totally agree with you.

Christian Kirk is security for them. They got to the playoffs last year and had nobody to play wide receiver. So I think this is just, hey, we're, we're making sure that that never becomes a problem again, right? So totally agree with you. I'm all in on Jane Higgins. He's also, like, I love the T. Higgins comp, except that Jane Higgins is a significantly better athlete than Higgins was. I think he has more route running upside. He's a better mover, body control, all that stuff.

So I'm all in on Higgins. Yeah, I mean, Higgins, like when you start trying to poke holes in the profile, perform well at the senior ball, had very, very strong athletic testing numbers, an incredible, incredible NFL combine and now gets incredible NFL draft capital for this sort of profile. So like he's checked off all four boxes and has this landing spot where we have seen multiple wide receivers thrive in with varying skill sets. The number two pass catcher in Houston, Tank Dell thrived in this role. Alongside Nico Collins, we saw Stefan Diggs thrive in this role and have that low A dot 15

point per game run for like half the season. So Jaden Higgins, I said this in my article, is it's not out of the question that Jaden Higgins rookie season is comparable in terms of production to Tank Dell rookie season and gets you like 14 points of per game. So if I'm saying that, then I, yeah, absolutely I want access to him in the first round. I think he's one of the biggest winners, fantasy wise, of this entire draft class.

Two other players that were not Brett Whitefield favorites, but both had fantastic landing spots. were Luther Burden and Trey Harris. Now, we can go back to tape versus analytics with you and Scott if somebody wants to get Brett's full opinion. But Brett, these were neither one of these guys were guys that you had as highly ranked as the NFL. But

Luther Burden goes off the board with the seventh pick in the second round, significant draft capital. And Chicago takes him after they took, take Colston Loveland and with DJ Moore and Roma Dunzee on the roster. And I, did watch Ben Johnson press conference on this one. He said he's a stud. He said that Jameson Williams went to the same high school as Jameson Williams. And there's all these parallels here with this explosiveness and stuff like that. So for me, like we're always chasing the Ben Johnson slot receiver. Are you adjusting your ranks on Luther Bergen? If he's competent of Jameson Williams, I'm not sure he's playing in the slot. Well, I don't think it was a copping him. It was saying like it was sort of a it was sort of, it was sort of, of a explosiveness argument, like where he's this sort of explosive athlete and I'll pull up the exact quote, but

definitely some parallels with potential usage. And I think that's on top of the slot usage. May yes and no? Like if Burns in the slot, he can't have, there's no parallels to Jameson's usage. Jameson's entire route tree is runaways. And you can't. Could they be moving, could they move these guys around? For sure. I mean, iTunes had power slot, you know, opportunities at Washington. DJ Moore obviously has had a long track record of playing 30 to 35% in the slot.

So for sure, they can move them around. I don't want to get too nitty gritty. I'm just thinking role specific. If he's thinking JMO, then that's more of a Z receiver role. But if you're making me pick between Burden and Harris, I'll go burden, even though I don't like either guy. The thing that's really, really fascinating about this pick to me, Theo, is like burden doesn't currently possess the desire to.

skill set for him to thrive in Ben Johnson's offense as a slot receiver. That doesn't mean he can't get there, right? But that, to me, like massive developmental runway needed to get him to anywhere close to the detail-oriented nature, even the run-blocking stuff. Like, it's just not even close to what Ben Johnson has demanded from receivers in Detroit. So I don't know how this works. This was one of the weirdest player team fits to me, but I will take him over Harris, not to be long-wounded about it, but.

Yeah, I'm with you. It's burden over Harris for me, but Harris does land very cleanly. This is a second consecutive year that we've seen the LA Chargers select a wide receiver from the Southeastern Conference in the second round. Now, Ladd-McConkie worked out tremendously.

They go back to the well this year with Harris. Harris is also a guy that I thought was going to fall to the third, goes inside the second, doesn't get the top 50 draft capital that we like to see for fantasy football, but it's sort of splitting Harris. He was like the 55th overall pick. You really like the optimism level here is super low for you with him.

Do you think it's like a superfluous skill set with guys like Quentin Johnston? Like unpack it, Brett. Yeah, I don't think Trey Harris is destined to be a very strong fantasy player at all. He doesn't have an explosive skill set. It's not a good route runner, has stiffness in his lower half that will prevent him. from becoming a good route runner. So for me, he profiles very similar to a Romeo Dubs, who we've seen in Green Bay be, like if you're in a start 13 league, sure, that's fine.

But I think the upside is severely capped, even with a good role, it's severely capped. He just doesn't offer a ton. He's going to need a ton of volume to be super fantasy relevant. And so I'm just pretty out. And that's not even considering the fact that they want to be a run heavy team. They have Quentin Johnston still who, you know, know, he's, he's, he's, he's, the tape is not that bad. Like, it's pretty good. He's been productive. He scored a bunch of touchdowns. Like, I don't, I don't think they're all the way out on

him yet either. He's, he's, he's only played two years in the NFL on a five year contract. So I don't, I don't know. I, I'm, I'm just, I'm pretty out on this. I don't know that I'll have any shares of Trey Harris. And typically, I take the approach of like, I want at least a little bit of everybody, but I don't think I'll have any of him. Yeah. And I think that that's, that's fair. But Trey Harris is going to go in a range that's not dissimilar to Jaden Higgins, not dissimilar to Luther Borden, and not dissimilar to Cam Scataboo and Bachel Tutin. So like Trey Harris is steamed up in these dynasty rookie draft. So again, if, Brett, if you don't have the conviction, it's not like you're going to get to 11, 212 shares of Trey Harris. I think he's going to go higher than that,

almost every league. There was a hive of Trey Harris backers heading into the draft. Now they get a great landing spot. This, it's sort of like, there's going to be a guy in your. your league who's going to steam Trey Harris up. So if you disagree with Brett and you want Trey Harris, I think the way you play it is you're going to have to take them around the 205. And I think that's sort of the safe range. Don't play games. If you want to move up, get them.

But again, there's other wide receivers who a Brett likes more. And for me, I'm completely with you. I'd rather take the chance on Luther Burden than Trey Harris all day long. I like Luther Burton more heading into the NFL draft by like several tiers. I'm probably more bullish on Burden than you are. and I know Scott Barrett is as well. Make sure you're tuning in to School of Scott this week. We're doing a rookie mock draft with Scott Barrett,

Rich Haribar, and myself. We did one a few weeks ago. We're going to run it back with the landing spots, and we're going to do it as super flex as well. So that should be a lot of fun. And then on Dynasty Life, I'm having Heath Cummings from CBS on. We're going to be revealing our post NFL draft rookie rankings.

So Brett, we're almost at the close here. Let's just lightning round a couple more wide receiver thoughts. Kyle Williams in New England. Yeah, love it. They don't, you know, they don't have any real long-term fixtures there. So, you know, I love the fit. You know, I wasn't the biggest Kyle Williams guy, but I did have, actually, he got drafted about exactly where I scored him.

So that's, that's good. He has some upside. I think there's some untapped potential with him. And he has a chance to establish himself as Drake May's top target, long term, which I think is attractive. attractive, right? Yeah, it's, it's super attractive. And I think the fact that Jalen Polk and Javon Baker failed so massively, uh, bodes very, very well for Kyle Williams here. It's also, like we said, it's a new regime pick where like if you show up and you're Mike Vrable and Josh McDaniels and

you've got these two guys who had high draft, like in Jalen Polk's case, we had high draft capital. Like, you don't owe him anything. And instead, Kyle Williams goes as the fifth pick in the third round. I think that he's going to end up being a starter for them this year. And I think that we also factor in the Stefan Diggs's age where I think Diggs will be the number one target. I think obviously Henderson out of the backfield will get a lot. And Hunter Henry will get is underrated right now. But Kyle Williams is a chance to establish himself as like the big play guy in this offense. He was 17.3 yards per catch this past year. And he's a speed guy with four four speed. So like I think Kyle Williams absolutely worth a shot. And you'll get access to him

in the third round of your dynasty rookie drafts. Let's talk about Jack Bech because it's so funny. Jack Brech is a guy where people refuse to move him up, Brett. Like we had him pretty high. You had him very high. I had him pretty high. We were always like pretty higher, I think, collectively, like the two of us than a lot of people in fantasy.

Betch was a guy that has size, performed well at the senior bowl. I like the profile a lot. And then he lands in this free square role where the whole build, up. We're like, whoever the biggest Raiders draft as the wide receiver two has an instant pathway. And people are still not like getting excited about Jack Betch. I don't, I don't understand it. I don't know what it is. I've even more bullish on Petch now. Like I admitted the entire process. If you listen to Theo and I talk, I said all along, I'm going to be higher on Jack Betts than the NFL probably. Well, guess what? The NFL was just as high on him as I was. So let's go.

He is the cleanest pathway of the second round receivers to me, to be. To be. the number one target on his team, number one wide receiver target on his team. I love the landing spot. Gino Smith is a guy who traditionally has led offenses with insane amount of volume, right? And he's back with Pete Carroll. I think they'll dial that down a little bit,

but, you know, especially with Ashton Genty at running back. But Chip Kelly has a nice pro-style system, I think is going to bode real for Jack. He's what I also love about Jack and why it makes so much sense. He's a Joker-type player. this term's getting used way too much now, but he's a guy you can line up

anywhere, X, Z, slot. He's a mismatch weapon. He's athletic. Played tight end. Played tight end if you want to get cute. Yeah. He can win vertically. He's amazing after the catch. He's a really good route runner. There really isn't anything he can't do. Is he the best athlete in the world? No, but he's good enough to do everything. And so I think he's got Pooka Nakua all through his veins.

And if you like that profile, this is the guy, for you. Yeah, I mean, like, and it's, I like Jacobi Myers, but you would argue that Jacobi Myers is one of the least inspiring wide receiver one profiles in the NFL. Like to me, Jack Betch, like everything about this pick is great. It's a really, really fun offense now. They're borderline loaded with young skill position talent, not even borderline. Ashton Gentie, Brock Bowers as the focal points. And then Jack Betch in this fun role with Jacoby Myers. Like, I even like Thornton. I like the Thornton pick for this offense.

I love the pick. They needed a legit field stretcher. Trey Tucker is super fast, but he's 5'7. So it's like not really a legit field stretcher. Dante Thornton has the frame in the catch radius to be a field stretcher. He's going to make life on Jack Betch and Brock Bowers easy. So yes, I agree with you. 100%.

So Eeluk-Iiamanor was the guy that we were high on in the process. And we're not even getting to Jail and Noel. We got too much to unpacked this episode. But Elik Iyamanner was a guy that we were very, very high on in the process. And it was a little disappointing for both of us to see him fall to round four. But the landing spot, Brett, is really, really fun. The Tennessee Titans needed speed. They needed athleticism.

And they really simply needed bodies at the wide receiver position. I think Ilech Iymanor is a starting wide receiver day one in Tennessee. I totally agree with you. I totally agree with you. I know that they took another, they took what, Chimery, DK.

So DK, like, DK, just in like a couple sentences here, DK is this four three, like close to four three flat speed, hyper athlete. I think that it's more a stylistic pick for,

for Cam Ward than a guy who's ever going to develop into a target owner. Totally, totally agree. Yeah, Eleg, Eleg should win a job here pretty easily. You know, that I'll say if Tyler Lockett is the slot receiver, then yes,

Ehrlich can definitely win a starting job here. But yeah, I love, maybe it's the bias of me because I had ELEC as my wide receiver too, but I love the landing spot. I think he's a starter by the end of the year. Yeah, I think I am aner as a guy. You also don't have to make a big bet on now. So we like the profile. Now we can get him in the third, the fourth in a lot of leagues because he's obviously

a day three pick. Okay, so this side, I wish we had way more time for this one, but we got to unpack Isaac Tesla. Yeah. Isaac Tesla is the one. I'm in the discord with you and Scott and we're just talking it out. And I'm like, I'm getting more and more enthusiastic about this because of the combination of the landing spot to Detroit, a plus a plus organization that really evaluates skill position player as well. The athletic ability of Tesla, the now draft capital for Tesla, senior bowl standout.

And the excessive amount that they gave up for him. This was a massive trade. So for me, I'm like trying to unpack Isaac Tesla really quickly in my before my dynasty rookie draft. But it's a guy that I didn't think I was going to draft. Now I want some exposure. For sure. I did a lion-centric pod, part of Detroit last week before the draft.

And I said on that pod, they asked me if the lions were to draft a receiver in this class, who would it be? I gave him two names, Matthew Golden or Isaac Tesla. He's a local kid from Hudsonville, Michigan, grew up a Lions fan, big, strong, freak athlete the production at Arkansas was really weird, but the Hillsdale tape is crazy at like 1,300 yards and 15 touchdowns. It was and it was a

small conference, but he was player of the year in that conference. Literally the MVP of the conference, yeah. Division 2 National Championship while he was there. Former quarterback too, so he's only been playing receiver for a little bit. Yeah, the profile is awesome, but what I really

like is I know draft capital matters a ton, Theo, and if you really want to extrapolate this, look at any trade value chart. whether it's the Jimmy Johnson chart, the Fitzgerald Spielberger chart, or the eager chart, they gave up a ton. Like, if you just go with the most common one,

the Jimmy Johnson chart, they give up two future thirds, and they use the 70th overall pick on him, which is the equivalent of the 44th overall pick. So that's round two capital. If you look at the Fitzgerald Spielberger chart, they have the value at the 17th overall pick in the draft. That's a crap ton of a draft cup.

They have a ton of invested in this. kid. So this isn't a throwaway Tim Patrick replacement player to me. This is a legitimate guy. They see a role for in their offense, a mismatch weapon. They like to move these. They don't have X, Y, and slot roles in this offense. They all play all the roles. I'm on raw, despite everyone thinking he has a slot receiver. He's a 50-50 guy. He plays X about 50% of the time and slot 50% of the time. So Tesla's going to move in and be a mismatch guy for him. He might not go off for you in year one. He's got a, he's got some development to get through here. But yeah, I want to exposure to him because the offense he's going to be attached to.

The skill set is is kind of jaw dropping actually. Yeah, it's wild because I also think that there's a, this could be a guy that could be in the plans if they do, in fact, move on from Jameson Williams, athletically gifted. And I also look at the fact that you start looking at the wide receivers who they took him ahead of. They took him ahead of Jalen Knoll, which I think was a great prospect who was got, you know, a little bit disappointing draft capital in the third round. But then they take them ahead of Sabion Williams, who if you're just looking for an athlete,

Sabion was this ridiculous athlete. And then if they would have just stood Pat and selected and didn't move up, then they would have had access to guys like DK, guys like Thornton, or Eeluk Ayamanner, Jalen Royals. There was a lot of wide receivers they took him ahead of. So Isaac Tesla's a name. If you're looking for a sleeper, this is a player that this is why the NFL draft really matters and you can't have take lock.

Isaac Tesla could be a guy that you draft inside of round three towards the tail end of round three and end up getting huge returns on your investment down the line. So this was a lot of fun. Brett, we're going to keep crushing it all week long. Make sure you're tuning into all of the podcast here at fantasy points because there's going to be a lot of NFL draft reactions. We want you to absolutely crush your dynasty rookie drafts. What do you have planned this week, Brett? Yeah, first read with Joe, we're going to be unpacking each team's draft class.
