to the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.
Oh, welcome in.
What's that sound?
That's me doing rookie drafts, guys.
You're not having a good time?
Oh, barf.
So, I mean, this is a big show because we have not got to really come together and react here.
on the 2026 NFL draft.
So this is our first chance to get the opinions shared.
What about the Cardinals, though, Jay?
Oh, they're bad.
Okay.
No, they're, they're much worse.
There were things.
They're much worse with the Cardinals.
No, the Cardinals are, I mean, it's like a child
is running the organization on some level.
And it's such an insult to Jeremiah Love and the talent that he is to say that because quick thoughts on the Cardinals, we can all share them.
Fact number one, Jeremiah Love is an incredible football player.
Absolutely.
And will not bust.
Correct.
He will be a valuable, important, fantasy relevant player for the Arizona Cardinals for many years and $50 million.
Yeah.
And for whoever his next team is as well, he could go on to great success.
Like maybe he'll win a Super Bowl with his next team.
Jeremiah Love is great.
And so the argument of, look, you take the best player.
And I will say this.
If you draft an edge rusher who busts,
it is less valuable than drafting Jeremiah Love, who is good.
Yes, who you have a more guaranteed outcome with.
But it is, it is indefensible to use the number three overall pick on a row.
running back, no matter how good they are.
It is, and people are like, you know, it's all about the contract.
That's kind of the argument, but that's not really what it is.
The 50 million guaranteed, which is the most guaranteed money that's ever been given
to a running back in the history of the NFL, just simply because you're slotted in
at the number three pick overall.
11 million more than any other running back in the game today playing.
And people say, well, look, if it's a good player and you're going to be on a rookie
quarterback contract, you can afford them, you've got the cap space.
that isn't the point.
The point is what you're giving up.
Yes.
Opportunity cost.
Will Anderson is getting $50 million a year now.
He just signed a cut a year.
We just said $50 million in guaranteed money was the most of all time for a running back.
It's because they don't matter as much.
They just don't.
You can't get an edge rusher.
You can't get one on the free agent market.
They don't hit the free agent market.
Once upon a time, the Cardinals.
passed on Adrian Peterson in the first
round for an offensive tackle
that didn't pan out
and we lived and watched what Adrian
Peterson did for the rest of his career.
So on that level, yeah, you don't
want to whiff on an Isaiah Simmons or
Andre Wadsworth or whoever else the Cardinals took.
Everything you said is correct.
Love will be very good. It's compounded
by the fact they spent offseason money resigning
James Connor, Tyler, Alger, they have
Trey Benson. They have running backs
on this roster already.
And so everybody, I mean, I have been
asked about my opinion on this pick more times than I can count.
And everybody wants to hear our opinion on it.
Jeremiah Love doesn't deserve any hate.
He's going to go and be great in Arizona.
And he'll be the number one pick in Dynasty rookie drafts.
And we'll talk about him on our winners and losers today.
I think we're doing AFC.
But, yeah, I mean...
The good news is the genuine good news is I think that drafting Jeremiah Love
and then a couple rounds later with Carson Beck is a very...
very good recipe
for marching for Arch
like get the number one
you're calling it? Yeah the March for Arch
is on for Archie Manning
let's put Manning
with a Harrison
it's got to work again
it worked for their daddies
or their their you know
their relatives I guess you should say
but yeah
I think it's it's a great way
to get the number one pick so the original
vomit sound effect that Mike
produced at the top of the show
was more about just
expectations for where a lot of running backs
were going to go, didn't come to fruition.
We didn't really get a lot of names
with the draft capital that correlates
to fantasy success.
We got none. We got none.
But we got Judarian Price.
Sure, but I'm saying day two.
Yeah, we got none.
Day two, there was one running back.
Was that Kalem Black?
Yeah, and he wasn't invited to the combine.
And he drafted by a team that is whiffing on almost all their picks.
If the 49ers draft you, I mean, I could just say if they draft you, your chance of not being a good player is very high.
But specifically, did he, Lynch sucks.
Day two sucks.
No, he does suck in.
He sucks.
He sucks.
San Francisco fan.
Yeah, we got one over there.
What do you think?
Yeah, it's not good.
Okay.
Thank you.
Could you imagine how good your team could be with Shanahan coaching if they would.
They were given quality players.
But like, how many years in a row are we now of the 49ers taking a running back in essentially the third round?
And then it never being the guy.
I feel like we'll get hate like we're attacking the 49ers as Cardinals fans.
No, I'm attacking one specific.
Football fans.
Yes.
One specific GM.
And your team is always great.
Would you rather be Kalin Black who was not invited to the combine drafted by a team where these these home run picks never work out?
Or would you rather be, I think.
think it's Adam Randall, who was not drafted by the general manager, not drafted by the coach,
but given a token opportunity to the owner of the Ravens that said, he's been begging me for a
pick, so I just let him pick somebody. It was unbelievable. The GM, if you haven't heard this story.
Yeah, the owner asked for a pick and the GM's like, well, it's your team. What are you supposed to say?
Yeah. Yeah, of course you can have a pick. Oh, and in the way he talked about it. He's like,
and he did his research. It was like, he's talking about it. It's like, he's talking about it.
Like, you gave the pick to his son.
And what's so sad about this is, like Mike and I, I know, both like Adam Randall,
he's one of the more sleepy, deeper picks that were...
Sleepery, deepery, yeah.
Sleepery, deepery picks that were, like, I could see how that works.
Does Steve Listen to our show?
I mean, he probably does.
Honestly, probably.
But I would say that...
There's no other explanation for this.
When the pick came and the Ravens took Adam Randall, I was like,
that's not a bad landing spot for him.
You've got King Henry, who's in Desperman.
but he's also human and at some point will stop and will self-destruct.
And Adam Randall is, that's a good spot.
You're on a good team.
And then you find out later it was like a gift pick.
It'll reflect.
So silly.
It'll reflect on the GM on his future resume.
I know that.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was a wild draft.
We're going to get into our AFC draft recap show today talking through the picks and what we
think, you know, there are opportunities.
out there. There are a number of players that slipped
in the draft or went to teams
that look like, you know, Michael Lim and being one of
them that went to a spot we didn't expect,
a team that traded up to acquire them,
that has plans for them.
He went to a spot that the team
drafting him didn't expect.
Yeah, and that the Steelers didn't expect.
But lots to talk about our draft
I didn't even know. What was the final total
for our draft prediction? You won by one.
I think I got one right. Because
I changed on Judarian Price last
second moved away.
You did. And you got them.
And I got Stowers.
Yeah.
Is that what?
Because you had gotten Jordan Tyson.
So yeah, it's always tough in the streets because once a couple trades happen,
the, uh, the ramifications.
The domino effect.
But, um, I mean, goodness.
You've won for so many years in a row.
I just assumed you'd pull it out.
Right.
Um, we've decided to extend the UDK pre-order giveaway an additional day.
We have?
Yes.
Through the end of the day, Mike.
Oh.
And we're going to give away some extra swag
So not just the Jamar Chase signed jersey
Not just the Bijan sign jersey
Not just the listener league spot
But some extra swag as well
You know what I realized
Through the end of today Tuesday
Just now looking at because the
If you haven't tuned to YouTube.com
slash the fancy footballers
And check out Magic Mike's wall
The signed jerseys that were giving away
Those guys are on my league of record team
Oh my gosh
Still
They made it.
Bejohn made it, everybody.
Mike, we had our...
The magic Mike Wall.
We had our Keeper Lottery this weekend as well, which we do in our League of Record.
If you're new to the show, we have kind of a cool format where you get a franchise player,
and then you pick three players from your roster.
There's a Keeper League.
And those three players go into a Keeper Lottery, and two of the three remain on your team.
One drops into the draft.
In our Keeper Lottery, we saw the likes of Jemir Gibbs drop back into the draft.
we saw jason we saw puka and we saw cmc and then jason
who was in your lottery my lottery was uh josh jacobs Travis Achan Jr. and
Jonathan Taylor yeah and I no longer have Jonathan Taylor it was I was not happy about it
Jason popped into the lot the zoom oh that looks so cool uh Jason popped in on uh there's a
new graphic up on the wall. He popped into
the Zoom. He found out he had lost
Jonathan Taylor in the lottery and then he disappeared.
He threw a smoke bomb. Yeah. And he was gone.
Well, because of course, I show up
right after everyone tells me I lost
Jonathan Taylor. He was like, I didn't even get to
see it. It was like, oh, you just lost Jonathan Taylor.
You weren't on time. I was driving
through mountains. I didn't have service.
You didn't wait.
There you go. So Jason
was super happy. Yeah.
But yes, UltimateDraftKit.com through the end of
the day to day. And we'll give away that listenerly
spot. We want somebody to come and play with us in the
listener league in 2026. Super excited about
that. And yeah,
there you go. On that note today,
all of our ultimate draft kit,
the plus, all the dynasty information, all got updated
post draft. So our rookie
rankings, our dynasty startup rankings,
all that stuff is fresh.
It is ready to be drafted.
A lot of details. And more than
just that, the opportunity pages,
everything in it got the post
draft refresh. So if you
already have the ultimate draft kit and you're in the contest.
Great. Go check out all the new information.
If you need a reason to pick it up now, all that new information is there.
All right. Let's get into the news.
News and notes from around the league.
Just a few bits of news here.
Jaden Reed, three-year contract extension with the Packers, who said goodbye to
Dontavian Wix and Romeo Dobbs is off-season.
They did not draft any major replacement.
This was a big win for Jaden Reed.
And Matthew Golden, the fact that they
didn't draft anybody. They do seem to have
plans, I mean, for him. And
at least we had one game.
So the... Jaden Reed, three year,
50 million. Yeah, so 20 guaranteed.
The Romeo Dobbs contract was
much bigger.
Okay.
That's interesting. I hadn't thought about it until now.
Reed has been a good player, but
not a high volume player.
Not a high route
participation player. Right.
His talent has always been there. I've always really
liked what I saw from him on the field.
he's always flashed but the issue is he is only a slot wide receiver when they're in two wide and even
now even though they lost romeo dubs it seems like it'll be golden and watson and watson in in two
wide which jaden reed is valuable to the team unlike you know you look at what's happening for the
colts and you look at downs and you go oh you know i think he's going to be on the field in too
wide now a huge upgrade this is like oh it's good for jane reed for the draft but he didn't get to me
an upgrade over what he has been.
The Vikings officially exercised Jordan Addison's fifth year option.
Okay.
Is Addison?
He's interesting.
I feel like he's not been talked about a lot.
Whereas, you know, we talk about the uptick that Jefferson should receive by a competent
quarterback in Kyla Murray, who I think will be a competent quarterback.
Addison will benefit tremendously.
I mean, Tyler has, you know, it kind of reminds me of the Christian Kirk era for the Cardinals.
sure in Arizona where you had Hopkins on one side
and Addison who's capable of taking advantage of defensive backs
and especially on deep plays
that combination kind of reminds me of that
that's a good comp I believe it was
Kyler who was with Christian Kirk when he was a wide receiver one in fantasy
I'll have to look that up
Kyle get on it
Christian Kirk no Christian Curry was a wide receiver one in Jacksonville
really yeah oh okay it wasn't not Kyle
no it was not
the NFL networks Ian Rappaport reporting that
Brandon Ayuk will be playing with his good friend
Jaden Daniels for the commanders soon
okay
I mean
the Iyuk saga is it's still going
for those who have forgotten
because it had been kind of quiet there for a while
no one's going to trade for him
and
I would imagine he's not let go
yet because the 49ers
hate him
like they're i think they're legitimately mad about everything
of a punitive situation yes everything that has taken place with brandon iukovai you won dude
you got your money and then you were not good and then there's the reports of not
taking rehab seriously on on his injured uh knee and no one they've trashed him you know
publicly no one's going to come trade for him because they just why we'll wait for you to release
him but i feel like the four nage is like we're not going to release him well you're just going to
hold on to him i mean the thing
is usually you would say you want to get the most value out of the assets you have. And the 49ers
proved they don't care about that at all. This draft, like value means nothing to them.
MVS, still playing football. Marquez Valdez Scandling signing a one-year deal with the Cowboys.
Good for you, man. Oh, and then the other news, George Pickens has not yet signed the franchise
tag? Yeah, there was a lot of reporting on. Didn't they say he did? Yeah, night one of the draft,
they were saying George Pickens has signed his franchise tender.
which felt very much in the moment of like,
well, the only reason he's going to sign that right now
after they have said, we're not going to give you a long-term deal,
is because to trade him.
You can't trade him unless he signs the franchise.
So with all the reporting, that's what it seemed to be the implication.
But now they're saying he didn't even sign it.
Yeah, then it came out that the Cowboys aren't going to trade him.
Well, at first it was, at first, I believe it was Ocho Cinco that had this cryptic tweet.
He's going to be happy?
Yes.
like there was some big news, some big contract coming his way.
And then it was, oh, he's going to sign his franchise.
That's not what a player's happy about.
Like, yeah, I sign my franchise.
And so you assume he's going to get traded.
And then the Cowboys come out and say, we're not trading them.
And now it's gone full circle to, I'm not signing that franchise.
Jerry.
Which you guys have talked about on the footcast, like how he probably won't sign it.
And then it seemed like the news came out that you were wrong.
But maybe you know George better than he knows himself.
Yeah.
And we know Jerry.
And you know, Derek.
He will fold.
I like their draft, man.
I love their draft.
You know what I hate the most about this draft?
And there are, oh my gosh, so many things.
But two of the best drafting and acquisition teams this cycle this weekend were the defensive side of the ball for the Bengals and the Cowboys.
What nonsense is this for fantasy football?
That's true.
Just hold out hope that it won't work.
Yeah.
I liked, like, you know, we'll go through the teams, but I like the Cowboys a lot, their draft.
I liked Cleveland again for two years in a row.
Yes, I did like Cleveland.
Yeah, they're doing, they're really doing good work over there.
I think they're going to be a good team.
It's funny, I had tweeted out.
I actually think they're going to be a good team.
I would, I would not know that far.
They were in every game last year with nothing on offense.
Their defense is unbelievable.
Incredible defense.
And I might believe in Todd.
Monkin more than I did a week or two ago.
I just... Interesting.
Look, this is going to be one of the big topics that we're going to talk about extensively.
How do you react to all of these draft picks and the players and the teams?
I always bring up Jalen Waddle to the hapless dolphins and how bad of a landing spot that was at number six years ago,
only for him to go out and catch 100 passes and be a great player.
The turnover in the NFL is so...
I mean, what do we have, 20 new coaches, head coaches, something like that?
I mean, when we did our coaching changes show between offensive coordinators, head coaches,
the change is so tremendous, the inner working of 11 on 11.
It just, you see change really, really fast.
Teams that seem completely hapless.
I'm not saying I like to Sean Watson or what you're going to get from Shadur.
Or, yeah, or Tailing.
Yeah, or Tailing Green.
I mean, there is, there's just potential to win with just some small competency on offense,
We love Concepcion.
I like Denzel Boston on the other side.
They have Harold Fandon who we love.
We love Judkins.
We have a defensive player of the year.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I get it.
They're still the Brown.
They do have the pieces there.
I loved the draft.
I had tweeted out that it was really bad what the Browns did to us for Concepcion and Boston,
which I stand by.
Yeah.
We don't want them going to the Browns without a known quarterback.
That's not where we would ideal.
put them, and then you put both of them there, and they're sharing targets was like, dead, gummit.
However, from a football perspective, from the Browns perspective, those are great picks.
That's, I mean, they're giving help to whoever that quarterback is.
Just to correct what I said earlier, there's 21 new offensive coordinators, 10 new head coaches.
So Cleveland at a six and a half win projected total.
It's a brutal.
It's a brutal division.
Okay.
So I, but yeah, I would take the over on that.
I would.
You get a little new head coach bump.
A little bit of locker room.
Cleveland seven games?
Yeah, seven?
Seven out of 17?
We can get there.
Miles Garrett could do five of those by himself.
I don't know why I got on a Browns tirade on this episode.
What am I thinking?
I do this every offseason.
What was that old head coach I used to talk about?
No.
No, no, no.
Mark was Cincinnati.
Hugh Jackson.
Yes, yes.
I should learn.
All right.
We're taking a break and we'll talk AFC NFL draft recap.
You're reminding me to Rod Taylor.
was once a my guy, huh?
Yeah.
This is not the first time you've been very impressed by Cleveland.
Is it a contrarian thing that I'm doing?
Is it me wanting to find the good and something bad?
Is that like a character thing?
It is.
And you know what?
I tried to find it in Gus Bradley once.
For you as a human, it's a good quality.
As an analyst?
But as an analyst of the NFL, it's not a good quality.
Okay.
They stink.
Does Newman?
Yeah, Newman's.
Newman has a Browns.
On our set.
Yeah, it's a newman on our set.
Careful with his head.
This is not great audio.
Okay, let's do it.
Hi, rookie.
Welcome to the NFL.
All right, we'll start in the AFC West with the team with the overall number one pick,
Fernando Mendoza to the Las Vegas Raiders in round one.
They did spend a fourth round pick after a slew of offensive line and defensive improvements
in the second and third and fourth round.
They spent a fourth round pick on Mike Washington, Jr., combine standout.
Yeah. And then a wide receiver in the six. So I think a couple of things that stood out to us, or at least to me, was like, who's going to play wide receiver for this football team? Because they did not invest. I mean, the Besh hive is back, baby.
Jack Bech. We are alive and well. He's not dead. We are thriving. I don't know about that. But Mendoza, I like Mendoza. I think he's going to be a very, trying to find the right word for it, like a very productive NFL.
quarterback. I don't know if that'll be
fantasy productive for
his whole career, but he is more mobile than people
give him credit for. I think I'm excited to see
him with Gentie and Bowers.
But adding a big name wide receiver
would have been, I think more exciting
for the entire fantasy world if you had seen third
round pick, you know, Denzel
Boston going there. Yeah, it's hard to
imagine a team with such
a needed wide receiver. Well, 36 wide
receivers went in this draft that they just
didn't even look that direction. And I think
that this is really Bowers
is, I mean, obviously their number one
wide receiver, but he's a huge winner
here. He will be soaking up all
of the targets. I will
probably be taking him over Trey McBride.
I think Bowers is the
tight in one. For sure. I feel like that's a
pretty big bold take. I
think we really enjoyed what we got from
Chocby Brissette and Trey McBride last year.
So I don't know if I'll go that far, but yeah, Bauer's should have
full confidence to be in that tight in one
contention. And I still expect
him to start the season with Kirk Cousins.
I think he's going to play
a while. I think he's going to play about half the season.
So in terms of, yeah, Jack Bess,
or any of the other wide receivers still on the team,
Trey Tucker, who was kind of their number one last year.
Dante Thornton.
Jaylon Naylor, the free agent signing of Jalen Naylor.
I mean, I forgot.
Didn't they give him a bunch of money?
They did.
They don't have a three-year, 35 million.
True wide receiver, unless one of last year's
rookies steps up, which they did not do last year with plenty of opportunity, there is not a lot.
It's not good for Mike Washington to go to this situation either. Like if you were looking at players,
like, yes, he'll have an opportunity to be the backup, but he could have gone to a team that he
could have emerged as the starter. Like if he goes to Tampa Bay or something, you know, you're like,
oh, maybe it doesn't work with Bucky and this is the dude now. I, that's not happening here.
It's obviously not happening where Mike Washington Jr. will ever be the dude without
an injury to Gentie. That's, that's clear and obvious. He is only a backup. However,
this was the team coming from, you know, the Coob's system. Now the head coach here coming from
Seattle, where even though they had a clearly superior Kenneth Walker on the field, they kept
putting Charbonnet out there. Then Coobes comes to the Raiders and they ask him what they
think about Gentie. And he basically says, I want a two-back system. We were arguing, you can want
whatever you want. You don't have another running back on the roster.
So it's going to be all Gentie.
Well, now they went and spent, you know, obviously it wasn't a day two pick.
It was a fourth rounder.
But, you know, Mike Washington was one of the somewhat touted running backs in this class and at least gives.
I think it's interesting.
It gives a little bit more credence to the ability to have a large split for Genty.
It's funny because, you know, it's, we'll just, you make the natural progression of, okay, well, Mike Washington's in the Charbs.
role for for for for kubiak except mike washington
athletically
is nothing like is
no is the opposite of charge yeah i i i um
i guess it just comes down to does that draft pick change your opinion of ashen gentie
for me the answer is no as in where he's going in fantasy or my confidence in him
uh i think my confidence is about the same i do think mike washington
is i don't think it's it's everything is ashen jen jen
I think you will have more of a committee that people are going to want.
For sure, without that pick,
Genti would have had a lot more volume when I stat them out than with this pick.
Okay. Yeah.
Well, we'll be doing that soon.
I mean, the full ultimate draft kit releases on June 1st,
which means you're going to have every team's individual players and stats from all three of us
in the ultimate draft kit and see how we break down each of those team's offenses.
Kansas City.
I'm at
Kansas City
went defense heavy early on
they traded up
they went corner
two corners
two defensive linemen
in the first four rounds
and then their first offensive
jump
which we thought maybe they were going to grab
you know a Jordan Tyson for
Patrick Mahomes
it didn't happen
they had two first round picks
they were both on the defensive side
Emmett Johnson goes in the fifth
round to Kansas
City
very similarly to my opinion of Mike Washington with Gentie.
In the fifth, who I liked,
has no impact on my view of Kenneth Walker whatsoever.
This was actually a huge, you know,
the fact that they didn't go get more offensive weapons
tells me they're focusing on the ones they have.
Yeah.
And so, you know, all the incumbents benefited from the way that they chose to go about this draft,
Rashi Rice, Xavier Worthy, Travis Kelsey,
because they didn't go after a Sadiq or Stowers.
and Kenneth Walker.
You know, Emmett is a
maybe you see the field.
He needed, I like the Mike Washington
comp in the sense that
this is a team that really needed
a backup running back.
They just, they lost Pacheco.
Sure, they went out and gave the bag to Walker,
but they don't have anyone behind him.
You have to have someone behind him.
It's a good quality pick.
Andy, I know you liked Emmett Johnson, his film.
I think it's just a good fit.
Walker's gone down.
I mean, both in the past.
For sure.
I don't think that the Chiefs are ideally wanting to do a split.
That's where I view it a little different than the Raiders.
But it's a good pick.
And honestly, the big takeaway for fantasy for me on the Chiefs is simply that the big fear I had pre-NFL draft of Rushie Rice being moved on from this offseason if they had taken one of those big three wide receivers.
For dynasty purposes, Rice is a little bit more solidified as in the future wide receiver for this team.
have someone passed him.
Kansas City thoughts, Mike?
Anything you want to add?
I have nothing new to add.
How about you talk to me about the Los Angeles Chargers, if you can, I dare you.
They had some picks.
They spent them on players that we probably aren't going to end up caring about in fantasy football.
Fourth rounder, Brennan Thompson is the lone, meaningful offensive piece in terms of fantasy production.
And Brennan is, this is a Mike McDaniel special.
of Thompson is fast.
Now, Kyle, you're telling me this is a real quote here from Mike McDaniel.
This is a real quote for sure.
So apparently Mike McDaniel talking to the GM said, quote, if you, I mean,
you didn't see this video?
I did not.
Oh, it's great.
And McDaniel, known for really, really good sound bites, but said, quote, if you can find
a way to get Brennan Thompson, I will take my shirt off in here.
So he goes opposite of you.
You're a, you're a no pants,
He's nips out for Hauron.
Okay.
No, it was a good video.
He was constantly asking for their GM to make this pick,
find a way to get Brennan on their team.
And it makes sense.
This is a guy who ran 4-2-6.
I don't view this as Brennan being a fantasy-relevant player.
I do view this as McDaniel wanting someone with such blazing speed that he can craft things
where you just have to, you're going to pull a safety away.
way. This is a player that I think opens things up for the other wide receivers on the team.
Does it make you nervous for Trey Harris? If you're talking three wide receivers,
Trey Harris feels like the odd man out for, I don't think we're getting huge or lad off
of the field. Yeah, and you're talking about a field stretcher. That's the role. And I think that that
would be Trey Harris's role. That will be Brennan Thompson's role. So yeah, that has an effect there.
I think it's good for Herbert.
Yeah, I mean, it was the only real swing they took on the offensive side in terms of skill position players.
They did draft the fourth round offensive tackle.
They drafted a center in the second round.
So we know the offensive line was a huge problem last year.
They're already getting injured players back.
Now they're solidifying it through the draft.
So that's good for Hampton, right?
If you talk about a fantasy winner, Hampton, Herbert, offense, let's go.
We got Jake Slaughter.
Oh, yeah, they did, huh?
Jake Slaughter.
That's such a good name.
It is.
Slaughter them.
Denver was 14 and 3 last year.
We thought they might come into this draft, which, by the way, they had very few picks.
No first or second rounder.
Their first round pick is Jalen Waddle.
Yes, yes.
They did acquire Jalen Waddle.
Just remember that.
But they did draft one of, I think, Jason's favorite rookie running backs.
Now, it came in the fourth round, which you might not love.
But they didn't have a chance to draft them in the other rounds.
And they have a need of a running back.
This is Jonah Coleman.
Right here explains the state of rookie drafts at the running back position.
Jonah Coleman is my running back three.
Fourth round running back Jonah Coleman.
Fourth round running back is my number three.
who will be barring injury at best in a three-way time share between last year's higher-drafted rookie Harvey and J.K. Dobbins.
This is when it happened, this was early in the fourth round.
So this is day three.
You don't want them to go day three, but you're hoping someone pulls the trigger quick.
They came in and that's who they targeted.
That's what happened for an offense that you think is good.
And I like the player.
So I was like, okay, this is okay.
This is okay.
but it's not good. It's not great.
And I don't blame you for having them as your RB3,
but please understand Foot Clan.
Whoever our RB3 is this fantasy football cycle in rookie drafts,
the gap is the Grand Canyon.
Someone has to be at three.
That does not mean they're good,
and that does not mean draft them like you would usually draft most years
third running back off the board.
It is, I mean, my fourth running back
is a fifth round
Nick Singleton in Tennessee.
Right.
Because of opportunity.
I don't blame you.
And you know what General Coleman does?
You talk about winners and losers,
which is what this show is about.
This is all the backfield mates are losers.
Because I don't think Sean Payton
has an ounce of loyalty to every one of them,
and any one of them.
I don't think Harvey is going to be anything
that we're happy about on a consistent basis.
He's entering the,
I can't wait to be Justice Hill in this league phase,
of his career. And
Jonah Coleman can come in and
he's a tough runner.
And let's add him to Julio McLaughlin
and just whoever else they can get
production out of at that position. This will be
three backs being used every drive.
Minimum. Disgusting.
Yeah. I could feel that.
They spent two more picks
on tight ends, Mike.
Jolie.
Jolie.
Jolie. Jolie. Jolie.
I was mad that we couldn't call him Jolly because his name's pronounced Jolie.
Not anymore.
And now I'm very happy.
We're begging of you, please don't take our man.
You went to Angelina Jolie?
Is that what you did now?
That's where my head went.
Okay.
The amount of tight ends in this draft,
freaking Sean McVeigh and the Rams with their,
I mean, number of what, they were a culprit of the dupe the league,
getting all the tight ends.
But they changed.
their offense.
They said, hey, wait, guys are
getting smaller? Okay, well, let's
beef up and put a bunch of tight ends out there.
How many tight ends were drafted? I think it was
23. Yeah, it just feels like
it's like
tight end, wink. Like,
their offensive linemen being drafted
and getting paid well. I mean,
every offseason we get these massive deals now.
For tight ends, you're like, who?
Because they don't catch the ball.
Yeah. So we got to
move on though. The AFC South, Tennessee, I just talked about them. They went and surprised a lot of people. Carnell Tate at number four overall.
Jeremiah Love was off the board. They did not go defense despite their head coach. And they went and got a number one wide receiver for a player I still believe in tremendously. Cam Ward. This makes me feel way better about it.
Yes. Because it's a certifiable number one. It's terrible news for Calvin Ridley. But if you care,
about Ridley, that's terrible news for you.
For you.
So this is a great landing spot.
I tweeted that out and I had so many people that were like,
what are you talking about?
They like it?
That they hate the spot.
And I'm like, look, Cam Ward is a young number one overall draft pick.
Sure, he hasn't really shown that he's a great quarterback yet, but you can't ask for
much more.
I mean, not everybody's going to get Joe Burrough.
Got better as the season went on, which is one.
So you go to a young, you know, future franchise quarterback on a depth chart with like, I mean,
people were throwing out, you know, all the names of the wide receivers that are at the Titans.
But Ile Manor was talked about last year, not because Ile Manor.
Yeah, nice.
Swish.
It's not because Iow Manor was great.
We talked him up because he might have been their best wide receiver because they don't have much.
Ridley is old busted.
I mean, they need, there's a reason they took someone.
fourth in the draft, the number one wide receiver off the board.
He, I think, has the opportunity to come in and be the number one in targets right off
the bat. Now, maybe he won't be this year, but he has that opportunity.
I think he will be this year, and I think it'll happen. I mean, number four overall,
he's going to come in the same way Malik Neighbors did and dominate targets from the jump.
It puts players like Chimre D.K. into the right position on their team, where he was a
great player for them. Great special teams player, gadget player. Can't be your number one.
Iowa Manor can't be your number one.
I mean, they did sign Wondale Robinson,
which is good. I mean, the nice thing is for you, Andy,
Wondell could lead in targets.
They believe, you know, for those that believe in Cam Ward,
now you start going, like Calvin Ridley,
old busted, has a place if he's not trying to be the number one for this team.
So take Wondale Ridley and the DK, that's good.
You could end up having a good wide receiver core here,
basically because one guy can move people around.
It's a good pick.
Did you like Nick Singleton's tape?
I did.
Penn State running back goes in the fifth round,
which you normally don't care about,
but this year you do.
And Tennessee has, I mean, they have Tony Pollard, dot, dot, dot.
Yeah, you had the debate between Singleton and Ketron Allen,
the two guys that were on the same team.
I was very much more on the Nicholas Singleton side.
He was not this explosive breakaway runner.
However, he is a 220-plus pound running back who caught
the ball like crazy and scored touchdowns.
That's pretty much all you need and want in fantasy.
The opportunity is good here.
He's a fifth round running back to just keep your eye on.
Yeah.
What round was the old, wasn't Barnes of Tennessee Titan?
The guy you liked years ago?
Oh, he was undrafted.
Oh, okay.
That's different.
Yes.
The Colts.
He would have been drafted this year.
If Barnes is in this draft, he would.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, winners and losers for Indianapolis.
they didn't do anything.
Josh. Josh Downs is a huge winner.
Not only did they get rid of Adnigh Mitchell and Pittman.
So those two guys are gone.
But then the GM basically comes out and says,
Downs should be involved in two wide receiver sets
and has the opportunity to get more work.
This is great.
And then they prove that with their actions.
I mean, they took a seventh round wide receiver who's just like a special team's guy.
Downs is
a great fantasy asset going into this year.
You're up on Downs?
I'm up on Downs.
Yeah, and the target volume,
like we loved Alec Pierce,
but he doesn't profile as the 100-catch guy.
I mean, Josh Downs, Tyler Warren,
wheels up.
I'm very excited for Downs this year.
And I'm glad you brought up Tyler Warren
because he very well might lead this team in targets.
Yeah, that would not be a bad bet.
Houston.
Houston's been a third rounder,
sorry, a second rounder on Marlin, Klein.
Not Merlin.
I thought maybe it was Merlin.
Merlin would have been more exciting.
Okay, winners and losers for the Texans, Mike.
I know you wanted to talk about the Texans all day.
You've been talking to me about that.
So Marlin Klein out of Michigan.
Have you ever eaten Marlin?
I've not.
Jason?
No.
You ever had swordfish?
Is it the same thing?
I don't know if, no.
No.
I consider those the exact same thing.
I thought Marlin is...
They both have the weapon in the front.
That's enough for me.
Marlon is...
That's what they're the same.
Clownfish.
Jason.
Yes.
Right?
Yeah, Marlon's a clownfish.
That is correct.
I've watched the movie, man.
I know.
Have you ever had swordfish, Al?
I don't think, Andy.
Oh, he doesn't...
I'm allowed to move on.
You didn't get the job.
I was a finding Nemo right.
By the name, Marlon, the dad.
It's clownfish.
Yeah, okay.
I don't have to...
I don't have to like it.
No, you don't have to like it.
You didn't like it because you didn't get it.
Yeah.
Because you're dumb.
Get body.
Watch a Pixar movie.
I like a good reference, but not like a deep cut.
That wasn't even a deep.
The dad of the main character?
When I think of Marlin, there's only one.
When you think of Marlin, you don't think of the fish?
I do think of the fish.
That's what I'm saying.
Hold on time out.
I think of the fish.
The ground fish from finding Nemo, Marlon.
Nemo, they have to find him.
I know.
He's lost.
He's not the main character.
The movie should be called.
Marlon finds Nemo.
finds Nemo.
Yes.
But they didn't want to give away the ending.
Nemo's not telling you how he's doing the whole movie in the tank?
Yes.
Name another Marlon.
The one's in the ocean.
No, no, no.
When you think of Marlon, the name, who, who comes to mind?
Baseball.
Yeah, baseball.
Oh, give me a break.
Or the old NES game.
What was that game?
Oh, gosh.
Oh, no.
Now I'm on it.
Marlon Wayne's?
All right, good work, Josh.
You think of Marlon?
Was it blue Marlin?
This is all much more entertaining than the Houston.
Anyway, so Marvin, Marlon, Marlon,
out of Michigan
an okay
athletic profile
I mean
I'm trying to give you something here
he's a blocker
speaking of
he's a very good run blocker
this is good for David Montgomery
Jacksonville
Jacksonville spent a second round pick
on Nate Borercher
tight end
blocking tight end
good job
that's how Jeremy says
caricature
I would say the biggest winner
in Jacksonville was the existing running back room.
Because there was Bachel Tudin and Chris Rodriguez, who, look, I don't think that,
I think they're willing to have either guy step up there and probably both.
So I think both of those guys were big winners, obviously.
You didn't have, they didn't need more wide receivers.
They spent six rounders on them, but they've got a, you know, a ton of those guys.
I think the big winner for the Jacksonville Jaguars draft,
is the San Francisco 49ers, because they might be the only other team that had more reaches
in this draft than the Niners.
If you just look at like the value chart.
Oh, it was wild.
Incredibly bad draft.
We'll find out.
We're just going to be talking forever.
That's what we do.
I know that they're sitting up, like at a press conference, they're kind of sitting up,
like maybe on a step.
But man, does that come with a lot of the fart sniffing self-assurance that every year these
guys like, oh, I know better than all of you.
Like, history says you don't.
Right. History says we're all just whiffing over and over and over again.
And this idea, when you listen to Lynch talk about this consensus and why do you go and
reach for players and then you go look at the evidence.
Yeah.
And they're, uh, Warren.
Warren,
wrote an incredible piece breaking down.
Yes.
The horrific San Francisco.
Like it's in, you don't get to defend.
So if you make a bunch of picks, let's say you make 20 picks and 20 picks don't work, that's now, that's called history.
Yeah, and when you compare the value of what players have done versus where they went in the draft, it's kind of like how in fantasy football, when you look at ADP, especially over recent time, ADP is pretty accurate.
The guys in the first round score a lot more on average than the guys of the second round.
And it's not like, oh, well, the fifth round bumps up.
It's almost linear.
It's like the ADP is usually correct.
Every round you get some wrong.
Every round you get some right.
But if you reach multiple rounds in your fantasy draft, you're making a mistake.
You're not taking advantage of capital.
And you're probably wrong.
You're not outsmarting the crowd.
But the funny thing is, like, they just stand there and smell their farts and they love them.
And they're like, I'm so good.
We don't listen to consensus.
I love J.J. Zacharisa, good friend of the show, tweeted out. He was on a little Twitter rampage on this as well.
But it was at one point they said, well, people don't bring up the great fines we have later in the draft.
You know, like getting George Kittle. And then. Yes, we do. That's a great job.
But yeah. And on that, JJ tweeted out, George Kittle, when they drafted him, was 20 spots behind where he was going.
Like that was the, you got a guy behind value, which you never do. You're always taking these guys.
way ahead of value. Like, no, that was a good
example of what we're talking about.
That's how you do it.
Why pay $20 for something
when you could pay $40? Right.
Right. It makes it better. Cleveland, the
Browns. I love their draft.
You know, a lot of people thought Carnell Tate
would end up in Cleveland. They thought they'd go
what, you know, they end up trading down
when Tate was not on the board.
So maybe they would have. But they end up at 9.
They draft a wonderful offensive
tackle and Spencer Fano.
And they end up with a back-to-back
combo of Concepcion who a lot of people like.
I love them. And Denzel Boston, totally different types of receivers, which is awesome.
Equipping a receiving room that really needed it. I don't know. And then they just solidified
on both sides of the ball. Two offensive tackles in the first two days, two wide receivers
in the first two days. This is a great improvement for an offer. They knew where their problem was.
And they did because in the sixth round, they went and got a quarterback, which is what they really need.
Dude, week 18,
Tailon Green.
Yeah.
He's going to rule.
Yeah.
He's rushing for 150 yards.
Jerry Judy,
a fantasy loser in this equation?
Yeah.
Yeah, I would say so.
And you could argue that,
I mean,
I guess it would not argue
that Fandon is a loser
in the situation,
but there's just more mouths to feed now.
Yeah.
More opportunities.
Let's take a break
and we'll get into some more
of these teams.
Unless you wanted to add anything
on the Browns, Jay.
I really like Concepcion.
I think that I'm going to bet on talent
over situation
and hope that it works out.
Have you, for your wide receiver rankings,
did the Cleveland Brown's destination?
It did not.
Concepcion.
No, Concepcion is still my number four.
Okay.
All right.
We'll take a break and we'll talk Bengals.
You know, it's funny to think about as we get ready to talk about Cincinnati.
The Cardinals, we started the show with our normal routine
of making fun of our own team and their stupidity.
But boy, the Rams and 49ers really tried.
to make it up to us this year, didn't they?
I think the 49ers sure did.
The Rams, I will just talk about that tomorrow, and I think we'll disagree on that.
You can't disagree with Ty Simpson not helping you this year?
No, no, I can't.
On a team that was a nipple from the Super Bowl.
Yeah, we'll discuss it.
I think Ty Simpson is a fascinating, great conversation.
You didn't like him when the-
Yeah, for Thursday.
You didn't like him.
When the Cardinals were going to get them?
Yeah, of course not.
At the end of the-I-I-I can't wait to explain.
Cincinnati, 6 and 11, they had traded their first round pickaway for Dexter Lawrence.
They did not get a running back in the draft.
They didn't have a lot of picks, but you look at Chase Brown.
Two years in a row, Chase Brown survives the draft.
Oh, that's money's coming, Chase Brown.
Any, yeah, I mean, a commitment.
Get the pen ready.
So, yeah, defensive end, cornerback center, fourth round wide receiver for some depth.
Dexter Lawrence.
Yeah, Dexter Lawrence with pick 10, you know.
So, I mean, this was a team that when I,
out had a great draft, drafted mostly on the defensive side of the ball, which is where
their issues are.
For fantasy purposes, you hope they whiffed.
You know, you hope they got it all wrong.
And then Dexter Lawrence isn't...
Sorry, Bengals fans.
Yeah, I mean, for fantasy purposes, we need you to score 35 points to win a game.
Yeah.
Because...
For Super Bowl purposes, you did the right thing.
Absolutely.
I mean, the truth is when you are...
When you've scored 21 points and you're up in the fourth, you run the ball, and that sucks
for Jamar Chase.
And that sucks for T. Higgins.
I think we're greedy.
Of course. I mean, I think we're really greedy with those two teams.
And I do like consequential football.
Let me put it out that way.
I want this team to care about the games they play late in the season.
They're not going to care when their defense was that bad.
I'm going to go glass out full.
They did a good job.
Baltimore.
They had a lot of picks.
They end up spending.
And so many that they gave one to their owner for free.
Oh, they did.
Yes.
It's Adam Randall with the bonus second pick in the fifth round.
Jacoby Lane, Elijah Surrott.
Jason, you like Sarat a lot out of Indiana.
Jacoby Lane goes quite a bit ahead of him in the third round.
Yeah, it's interesting because we've always talked about the pie,
the passing pie of the Ravens and the Lamar Jackson era
and whether or not you can support multiple targets.
You obviously have Zay Flowers here as the one,
and they're bringing in two, I think, pretty good wide receivers,
solid at least wide receivers in Jacoby Lane from USC and Elijah Surrott from the national
champion team. I like Elijah Surrott as a player. I really, I did not think that the gap between
him and Omar Cooper Jr. was a three-round gap, which the NFL thought. Good pieces to add.
However, those being wide receivers, they did not really do anything from a passing tight-in, a
receiving tight-in. I think Mark
Andrews is a winner in this. His
role as the receiving tight end
is pretty safe. Yeah, I don't
know if I'd go as far as to call
Zayflower as a loser because of these acquisitions.
I wouldn't. But I would say that, you know,
they haven't had a lot of talent
at wide receiver at all beyond
Rashad Bateman is the loser
and those who still
continue to support
Rashad Bateman. Adam Randall
has potential to, you know,
if you had an injure,
step in to a role? Yeah, I'm on Jason's
opinion of Adam Randall. I think he will be
if he gets an opportunity here for the Ravens, I think he'll be solid.
I think Al Borland would like me to enter into consideration
Elijah Saracha. Oh, that's already been entered.
Yeah. We've already discussed this. You guys already talked about that?
I haven't heard that. I have. So Mike talked about it with himself.
Or on the Dynasty podcast. Make sure you're listening every Wednesday.
Pittsburgh, guys. What do we think? Jeremy Bernard
in the second round. They apparently were going
to take Mackay Lemon, which
let me talk about the
the comedy
of like, who was the player
that you thought they might reach on?
I thought that they were going to reach on Omar
Cooper Jr. Okay. That was the one
that you thought that they would stick with Pittman
and with D.K. MacK. McHaff and be dumb.
And then I'm like, they're not going to be dumb.
And then it comes out that they were going to be kind of
maybe, maybe not dumb at 21.
Right. But Mackay Lemon was the
pick that they were going to make.
I think somebody referred to the Steelers ending up
auto drafting after the trade up by Pittsburgh
or by Philly.
If you don't know what happened,
the Dallas Cowboys were the pick ahead of the Steelers
and everyone knew that the Dallas Cowboys are focusing on defense.
So because they knew that the Cowboys were looking at defense,
Pittsburgh called Mackay Lemon and told him
that we are going to draft you with the next pick.
while he was on the phone with the Steelers,
the Eagles traded up and swapped with the Cowboys.
Oh, man.
And called him, and they couldn't get a hold of him because he was on the phone with the Steelers.
And then they're like, Mackay's like, why are the Eagles calling me?
Boom, you switched teams in the blink of an eye.
And then that's where the Steelers were on the clock.
Yeah, with little time.
And they're like, uh, uh, who, who's out there?
ADP. Offensive lineman.
So Jeremy Bernard, second round wide receiver out of Alabama, who I think he's a pretty good player.
He also spent a third round pick on yet another of the same type of quarterback.
But Drew Aller, when you look at it from a dynasty perspective, players that could have opportunities sooner.
Yes.
He is on the upper half of that list.
I don't know if you guys would have him higher or lower than Carson back in Arizona.
I toyed with those guys back and forth.
I actually put Drew Aller one spot ahead.
This felt like when they were making this draft that they were doing this draft for Aaron Rogers.
They're like trying to get him a Kyle Lemon.
No, okay, well, let's get him an offensive tackle.
Then we'll get him a wide receiver three.
Hey, come back.
We improved our offensive line.
Honestly, Jeremy Bernard, I believe is a perfect pick here for what they need, like a third wide receiver.
He's just going to be a quality third wide receiver, not a fantasy superstar here.
And obviously being behind Pittman and D.K. Metcalf.
I don't think he matters that much for fantasy in and of himself.
However, for whoever the quarterback is, it's great.
And then they did get the superstar at the end of the draft.
Hyden, right.
Man, did they even have Roman Wilson on this roster anymore?
He's somewhere.
Oh, man, Roman Wilson.
RAP.P.
AFC East, the New York.
Who's the second round paper?
Holy crap.
Yeah, I know.
He broke their streak of drafting perfectly at wide receiver.
No, does he even count?
Right.
He played so little.
Goodness.
The Jets fulfilled Jason's prophecy.
Jason was not very high on Kenyon Sadiq compared to others.
Stowers of powers.
And he said, well, what he'd love to see is Sadiq go to the Jets to where I don't have to care.
He's a really good player.
He goes to, I think when you brought it up, we were like, oh, cats and dogs.
Because Miaoston Taylor is there.
And Kenyant Sadeke, uh,
I think the career is now over for Mason's upside.
And Omar Cooper Jr., who, look, a first round pick,
two first round picks on receiving options in New York for Gino Smith.
Well, it's going to be great for next year's quarterback.
Yeah, I mean, this is like, if you look at consensus big boards and consensus
mock drafts, both Kenyon Sadieck and Omar Cooper.
Junior, extremely highly valued, highly touted prospects.
You needed to get receiving options.
So you can make an argument very clearly that this was excellent work.
I think they got value on both.
Perfect for the future.
They definitely got value on Sadiq.
I mean, Omar Cooper was starting to be drafted pretty heavily in the first round.
So drop into the last.
You could say they got value on both personally.
And we just talked about being away from consensus is usually not the smartest
plan to be right. But personally, I thought both
Sadiq and Cooper Jr. were two of the most overrated people going into this draft.
So the fact that they both went to the Jets was a dream come true for me.
And then you can hit the club, Nick, in the fourth round. They added Cade Club
Nick. Quarterback.
Losers, I would just say, Miaoson Taylor's potential as a tight end one is going to be
squashed by a first round tight end.
Will he finish his career with zero broken tackles?
Yes.
Probably.
Not enough opportunities.
That's what I'm saying.
This was your year to do it.
Although maybe now they-
I just remembering Frank Reich is an offensive quarter in the NFL again.
Maybe it gets sneaky, though.
But why?
I don't.
They don't think they'll throw to Miaoson, so he's on some cornerback.
That doesn't mean.
If it's like a little cornerback.
Miaoons is good for some fall-down first downs, big time.
Just not breaking tithe.
tackle. The Miami
Dolphins had 652
picks in this draft, and they
chose to
wait on the
wide receiver position. I think that was the biggest shock
here. I'd love to tell you
that there are some existing wide receivers on the roster
that are, quote, winners because of this
decision, but there aren't any.
Well, they don't have any. Caleb Douglas.
2-2-Atwell? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, and Taj Washington.
Jalen Tolbert?
Malik Washington, rather.
This was actually a really important place. Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell, two wide receivers that went on day two in the third round. This is good draft capital. You got to take a look at those two wide receivers. See who you believe in. Chris Bell was in theory going to be a first round wide receiver, very highly touted, a big bodied guy.
You had Dane Bruegler before the season had Chris Bell ranked as his number two wideout.
Yeah, I mean, he was supposed to be great, but then he tore his ACL.
Fell in the draft because of that.
So when I look at Chris Bell, I'm a little excited.
I've got him higher in my dynasty rankings than I think most people have him,
simply because if you're talking about a first round talent who simply dropped because of injury,
finding his way on a team
that desperately needs
an alpha wide receiver,
there is a path to emerge here.
But it could also be Caleb Douglas,
their other wide receiver,
taken out of Texas Tech.
Jalen Talbert's on the roster.
They're going to have to figure it out on offense.
They spent a fifth round pick on Kevin Coleman Jr.
As well,
I mean,
getting more weapons for Malik Willis' win for him
because they started with zero.
So Buffalo.
Another bell.
Skylar Bell in the fourth round
defensive end cornerback
offensive tackle before they went fourth round wide receiver
everything else was pretty much defensive
and a punter by the way in the seventh round
are you what were your
takes on Skylar Bell out of Connecticut
and do you think Kean Coleman's a winner
maybe
Skylar Bell huge production
you know over 100 catches
almost 1,300 yards and 13 touchdowns
but
it
the bills just keep doing this
of overlapping their
archetype of wide receiver
and Khalil Shakir
yeah and then and not that
more can't DJ more can do other stuff
but it's still you know like these are
these are yards after catch
type of slot wide receivers it's
it's very strange to me
uh so you're asking Keon Coleman
he could be because you had the
the new head coach was talking him up yet again he would be their boundary wide receiver
and Skyler Bell would not profile there at all but I don't I don't know what to make of this
it's a fourth round wide receiver so it's not he has the draft capital's not there to like you
got to get Skylar Bell on your roster he has some good metrics behind the scenes there's
questions about how they came about a lot of screen work level of competition those things
In the fourth round, being that you project he will be playing behind Khalil Shakir in that role,
there's not much to get excited about other than the fact that you get to play with Josh Allen.
And so should you emerge, there's the chance to do something special.
The final team we'll talk about today.
We'll get into the NFC winners and losers on Thursday.
The New England Patriots, not a lot to talk about here.
Blocking tight end, right, in the third round, or half and half.
half, two ACL tears for Raredon.
Eli Raridon.
He, at least when you're talking production profile markers,
he did okay in terms of receiving in yards his last year.
His athletic profile is strong.
So he's not in the nothing blocking tight ends to me.
I'm not outrageously excited to draft him.
But, you know, if you're in a four-round rookie drafts,
he might be someone I'll all take at the end.
As of right now, Romeo Dobbs is not a, I mean, he's a winner from the draft.
They didn't invest in other weapons.
We think the AJ Brown story is on the way.
The Mackay Lemon draft pick almost certainly says that AJ Brown will be traded.
Yeah.
I mean, it's being reported as a done deal.
No.
It's being reported as pretty much a done deal.
I was just thinking, like, we launched the ultimate draft kit on June 1st.
Oh, yeah.
And they can't do this trade for cap reasons until at least June 1st or after June 1st.
first. I'm like, how are we statting out these two teams? Are we going to put, like, I think I'm
just going to put A.J. Brown on the Patriots. On both of them? I don't, I can't imagine a world
where he's an eagle. Even if he's not a Patriot, it seems like, is an eagle. Man, they got three
great wide receivers on that team. And finally a great tight end. Finally. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry,
Oh, man.
I feel like that was an insult to Ertz.
Yeah, sure.
Where are you going on the way back?
No, it was really, it got her.
Okay.
Well, who had a great year?
Yeah, he did.
He's not under contract, right?
Jalen Hertz.
Yeah.
Yeah, I thought they held on to him.
I feel like Jalen Hertz is a pretty big winner.
It was a one year, seven million dollar extension.
Yeah.
Pretty big winner in this draft, adding Mackay Lemon.
And obviously when you lose A.J. Brown, it's going to be tough.
But personally, like,
Mackay Lemon is, I think, awesome, and Stowers is awesome.
Those two are such a better value than what the Jets got in Sadiq and Omar.
They gave up two first-rounders to get those two guys.
If they both cost a dollar, I would rather the guys that the Eagles got.
Yeah, Goddard, one year, $7 million deal to just be a transition year to Stowers.
Yep.
And don't forget about you got James.
Jam Miller?
Jam Miller.
Running back?
Seventh round pick.
You don't need to worry about it.
But you got Jane.
Yeah.
Come on.
Thursday NFL or rather NFC recap coming your way.
That's where the spicier stuff is, man.
Apparently.
The NFC West was drunk.
Apparently.
Yeah.
The NFC West was crazy.
We'll talk about that on Thursday.
A final reminder, we do have the,
today's the last day for the UDK pre-order giveaway.

We'd love to have you there.
We have signed jerseys, Bejohn, Jamar Chase,
Mike's keepers in our League of Record.
Oh, man.
Which Jase is super thrilled about.
Awful.
We didn't give away any Jonathan Taylor stuff
because we knew, you know.
I gave away Jonathan Taylor.
On your own.
Things went well for me.
It really did.
I ended up winning the lottery for the number one pick.
Yeah.
And then getting all the keepers that I wanted.
Yeah.
And then Jemir Gibbs went back into the draft.
So he's going to be on my team.
That's great.
That's fun for you.
I'll see you in the championship.
Do you want to be a co-manager on my team?
I would love to.
This year.
All right, that is going to be it for today's show.
