Starting point is 00:00:00 The six players we're buying today will not be at this price by training camp. One of them, nobody's talking about, and he could genuinely win you your league. So stick around for that. Welcome into the lineup fantasy football show. I'm Mitch Anderson. I'm Justin Mellow. And we are joined today by a very, very, very special guest. We've got Danny from Fantasy Stock Exchange here.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Going us some of his favorite picks following the NFL draft. Danny, how's it going? Going well, going well. Before we started recording, obviously, we were just talking about the NFL draft and how excited I am as a Cowboys fan. We need a defense and getting the best defensive player in the graph doesn't hurt. Does not hurt at all. We're going to shift here from defense, though.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Let's talk some offense and let's talk about some of our favorite dynasty buys. Danny, as the guests, we would never not let you go first. So I want you to kick things off. I appreciate it. And this is a guy that I feel like when we first started, we were talking about as the next Messiah in Dynasty with Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars. he's a quarterback 12 according to the market on keep trade cut and I just don't really understand this one.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Like this is a guy coming off of his age 26 season. He was the quarterback four on points per game across the season. And yet we're still able to get this guy out of the top 24 in startups. Like I've seen him go early to mid third. Sometimes he even falling in the third round. To me that's outrageous because we expected that slow start that he had last year, you know, ironing out the kinks, figuring out what works on that offense. Obviously, Liam Cohen first year over.
Starting point is 00:01:24 We kind of would seem what the offense ended up. maturing into. But once that Jaguars' biweek took effect, this guy was the quarterback won in fantasy, 23.3 points for game. You got the rushing. You've obviously got the elite talent around. I mean, you're not going to find a bigger Travis Stann, Travis Hunter stand on Earth. Obviously, Brian Thomas Jr. what he did in his rookie season, potential balance back there, Jacoby Myers, they trade for, Parker and Washington really productive down the stretch. Like, you can argue in terms of a wide receiver one to four, this is one of the most well-rounded groups in football. Dude, I couldn't agree more.
Starting point is 00:01:56 We keep talking about this Jaguar's team, and I feel like, we feel like broken records, so thank God you came on here to talk about them so that we didn't have to. But like, when you talk about depth in a wide receiver room, you just mentioned all those guys. Like, I don't know if you could be putting Trevor Lawrence in a better position, along with what Liam Cohen did for that offense last year. Yeah, like, he's my quarterback 8 in Dynasty. When I saw that the market had him at 12, I'm just looking at it. Like, I understand, like, there's some, you know, more proven year-to-year options that we've seen
Starting point is 00:02:24 recently. But again, who's to say he can't be an MVP candidate year two in that cone system? He was already the quarterback one. Like I said, down the stretch last year. We saw the legs. We know the out of structure ability. We know the big time arm 6-6, 220-pound frame. Like, if you can get this guy around 30 to 35 passing touchdowns, 400 to 500 rushing yards with five plus rushing scores, he's going to be a threat to be a quarterback, you know, one to five option each and every single year. Something we mentioned earlier on this spring, like to play devil's advocate against him was like I believe he had nine rushing touchdowns, and that's like an obvious case of regression.
Starting point is 00:02:57 But like, man, quarterback 12, you don't need him to get nine rushing touchdowns again. Like maybe Chris Jones actually pursues him as he runs for the end zone this time and he gets eight. But this price is so low. I think this is like the best pick to just kick this all off. Oh, yeah. He's one of the guys I'm coughing.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Like, say you're early in a startup, maybe you're in a third round reversal, instead of, you know, you're at the 103, 104, Greg May, Josh Allen, go off the board. If you want to start with, you know, double wide receiver, pivot back in that early third, get Trevor Lawrence as your anchor quarterback, man. I can't think of much better bills. Like, could you imagine leaving your startup first three rounds with, let's just say, Jackson Smith and Jidbutt, the 105, and the second round who you wrap back around, maybe take a guy like Brock Bowers and he falsie in the early third? You can't complain with that whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Not at all. No. And going back to the rushing touchdowns, too, something I think is worth noting because I do think that's the big criticism is touchdown regression. it wasn't like he had too many fluky rushing touchdowns last year. Like, yeah, the Chris Jones play, I guess, against the Chiefs. But they were kind of using him like Josh Allen down by the goal line. Like design runs, quarterback powers. Like that is a little bit more sticky than somebody just kind of stumbling in the end zone set in eight times a year.
Starting point is 00:04:10 So that's a big reason I love this pick. Also because I have him in a dynasty league. So keep feeding me this hype here. I'm eating it all up. But I totally think last year is going to be closer to his long-term outlook than the prior. years, definitely. No bias there at all. No bias. No bias. That is a very good point too. And again, people might bring up, well, you know, Baye-Haltudin, even though he was the backup last year at the same time, you did have a relative goal-line role. At the same time, you know, you bring Chris Rodriguez,
Starting point is 00:04:39 like, people are going to point to that. First off, Chris Rodriguez before this year, like, this is the complete definition of a replacement-level player. I think this is a guy that you can, you know, flirt with 100 to 130 touches on a given year. But it's not like I'm really, you know, fearful of Chris Rodriguez punching in 15 rushing touchdowns. This isn't a David Montgomery situation like maybe some people might bring up. Absolutely. 100% agree. That's actually the perfect segue to my first player I want to talk about it, if you don't mind.
Starting point is 00:05:06 You set me up beautifully. There you go. I, too, agree that Chris Rodriguez is not a clear starting caliber, real threat to volume in this offense. And all offseason, I felt pretty noncommittal about where I stand with the basal-toot. debate and whether, you know, he's going to take off or whether it's not really going to happen for him, day three pick. But after the draft especially, I am all aboard the Basel Toot and hype train. We're going to go from one Jaguar to another here. We're kind of becoming an unofficial Jaguards podcast here, I think, too. I say with my Parker Washington jersey in the background.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Parker Washington, Jersey in the background. We want shares of this offense. I think it's going to be a good offense. We already touched on it a little bit, just talking about Trevor Lawrence and that's your director he's on. And now all of us in, you have Basial Tutin, who seems like he might be the guy. You look at the draft in what they did or what they didn't do, I should say. They did not draft a single running back in this year's draft. So now it's really just Tutin and Chris Rodriguez being the only thing standing between Tutin and that full-time starting gig. But what the Jaguars did do in the draft is they selected a blocking tight end in the second round, who James Gladstone immediately was very quick to talk up in terms of why they made sure to get
Starting point is 00:06:22 him there in the second round. And then they took one of the top guards in the third round as well, paving the way for an improved running game, which obviously the starting running back is going to be a huge beneficiary of that. And you've already heard the rumblings even prior to the draft out of Jacksonville that he's going to be a major part of this offense. His role is going to grow quite a bit. And I'm really buying into that now. And I think if there's one knock, it's what I mentioned earlier day three pick, although I will say barely a day three pick. He slipped into the fourth a year ago. And I'm usually the one to fade your day three running backs as they go into their second, third years. I feel like a lot of the time those are the guys that fizzle out. But I do think Tutin is one of those exceptions,
Starting point is 00:07:03 because it's important to remember he was handpicked by this very regime by Liam Cohen himself as somebody that Cohen really wanted. And they also let Travis A-chan, which still doesn't sound right to me. It hurts me to not say ETN. But they let Travis A. Chan Walk in free agency for a reason. I think they have a lot of faith in Bachel Tutin. And the cost is cheap. He's right now ranked as the running back 22 on keep trade cut,
Starting point is 00:07:28 running back 25 on fantasy pros consensus dynasty rankings. And at that cost, I'm just absolutely in. I think he was probably the guy, one of the guys who realistically had the most to lose in like a fantasy football perspective going in this draft. And no, I mean, I'll eat crow. We were worried about Tootin. worried about Scataboo and bringing another running back.
Starting point is 00:07:47 And we were wrong about both those guys. And so I think Tutin is definitely the one that I identify more as not as many people talking about getting this big opportunity versus Scataboo. Yeah, I'm in agree. And so I have them as my RB20 in Dynasty, basically for the reasons you kind of outline there, handpicked by the regime. Liam Cohn basically implied on the draft call that, oh my God, I have the vision for you.
Starting point is 00:08:09 You'll fit my scheme so well. Like, I know Gladstone basically in his pitch to become, you know, the general manager of the team. talked about Tudence Fitness' fitness scheme as well. So, yeah, obviously you had the H.C.M. last year and no, I'm not talking to Vaughn yet, Travis E.T.N. I don't know what's going on in there.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Like, are we calling them E.T.? You guys in the columns can let us know what you're going to be referring to Travis as. But he goes to New Orleans. He's out of the way. And again, Chris Rodriguez is a guy. Lequin Allen, sure, you might see him on 3rd and 19, but realistically, is he going to cause a huge dent
Starting point is 00:08:41 in terms of the carry share, in terms of the overall touch workload this Jags offense, not necessarily. And basically on the implication of what I think about Trevor Lords, what we think about Liam Cohn, like, this is going to be a top 10 Jags offense. It can flirt with top five numbers and you want the lead back for them. Absolutely. Billion percent.
Starting point is 00:08:59 And the Dynasty League last year, I was tilting between Tootin and Kyle Williams toward the end of the second round. And I went with Kyle Williams and I knew I'd regret it. And I stand here today regretting it so severe. I feel that. Why? What happened to Kyle Williams? Not much.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Man, I was Kyle Williams. spelled. Here's what it is. All right. Let's move on to our third player before this. Danny and I were talking and he was hoping to talk about this guy. But during the draft, I did not walk. I ran to our notes to type in about Cam Ward and his new wide receiver won Carnell Tate. I'm going to start off here. Like, I don't think this is a crazy one. I think a lot of people are talking about Cam Ward. It's funny because the rookie season wasn't sensational, but I also don't think it was quite as bad as a lot of people made it out to be. He did finish as the QB 23, but as we look at rookie quarterbacks, I think you guys would agree. We talked about it earlier with Trevor Lawrence. Like, I like to look at
Starting point is 00:09:51 after the by week. What happens when the game slowed down a little bit and they have some time to figure themselves out? After the by week, Cam Ward was actually the QB 14 from weeks 11 to 17, which is pretty impressive considering the fact he was throwing a three rookie pass catchers, Elyke Amnor, Chimari, D.K., Gunnardhelm, and then if you want to tack on the remains of Calvin Ridley for seven games, you can. But now you bring in Short King volume god, Wondale Robinson. You pair him with his new receiver, Carnell Tate, who's got a little Jamar chasing him. He said, whenever he needs me, I'm always open. And so right now, I don't think there's anything that's getting people hotter under the collar than when you offer them a 2027 first round pick. And so Cam Ward, 24 years old next month,
Starting point is 00:10:32 happy early birthday, valued as the QB16. Right now, that's a price I'd be willing to pay to go pick him up. I think if you believed in his talent coming into the NFL, now is where you're going to get to see that talent, like, come into, like, the works for him. Yeah, it was a miscast crew last year. Now you get a true alpha number one wide receiver. And again, we can have, you know, people on Twitter, people like Malik and Avers saying, well, he's never been number one in college. How could he do in the other? It's like, I'm sorry, Malik, you would have been number two to Jeremiah Smith as well. Like, don't, don't act that way. Well, let's be real here. Yeah. And it is, you know, well, this was the number two in college, Justin Jefferson. Like,
Starting point is 00:11:06 If you're on an elite team with another elite receiver, like, that's going to happen. I've never felt like the biggest Cam Ward stand by any means, but I am also on this hype train. I really respect what the Titans are doing, surrounding him with talent, making sure that if it doesn't work out, it's not going to be because they failed him. They are going to give him every chance with the weapons. Also, I just have to call out. I've never heard anyone say, what was it, hotter under the collar? Yeah. I'm going to start using that on a daily basis going forward, I think.
Starting point is 00:11:35 I just know people are getting really revved up about their 2027 first. It's a pandemic at this point. It's like, if you say, hey, I want your 27 first from someone, they'll be like, okay, give me Trevor Lawrence straight up for my projected 109 next year. It's like, okay, relax, buddy. Like, let's get some more reasonable. Which, again, I don't blame them. It's obviously going to be a good class, especially, you know, we've got the stick,
Starting point is 00:11:55 let's just say, like, say picks 111 on this year. You notice the Nervis Street pick 11 and 301, I don't. Yeah. Same here. Yeah. But I'll jerks aside, though, them going out and getting Carnal Tate, like, I thought when Rees was on the board, they would have instantly went up there, Robert Sala, given his history, drafted that, you know, elusive edge rusher that team desperately needed.
Starting point is 00:12:19 But them investing in Carnal Tate at 4 shows you that they are committed than Cam Ward. And Cam Ward is a guy that had a lot of talent was a little bit raw. Like, the way you get this guy to reach his ceiling is by providing him with Carnal Tate. And Cardinal Tate is also, like, one of the biggest, like, ball millers tests in this class. feel like because the casual fan is like, oh, he doesn't have the greatest highlight tape. Oh, like, Jordan Tyson's so snappy, such a better roadrunner. It's like, you walks the tape on Carnal Tate. That guy is a three-level separator with an 86% contested catrate this year. He is an absolute weapon. And honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if he became a top five, top 10 NFL wide receiver.
Starting point is 00:12:55 I was all in on Carnal Tate. He was up there with like Malik neighbors Marvin Harrison, Jr. when I did my prospect grades. We, it's so funny. Not to like going a tangent about Jordan Tyson, but like we were pretty high on him and now the buzz just got so out of control over the past few weeks. I feel like a Jordan Tyson hater and I don't want to be. It's like I like him like he's obviously a top
Starting point is 00:13:17 three receiver for me but I feel like the narrative was like oh if you don't have Jordan Tyson at one you don't know ball and I'm like why because you liked his TikTok mixed team? Yeah we all need something to talk about in April I guess he's Jamar Chase 2.0
Starting point is 00:13:32 like what where are we going? I agree, though, because I could have talked myself into putting Tyson in the same tier or maybe even above Tate a month ago, Tyson over Tate. At this point, though, with the landing spot for Tate and then also just sort of the way the hype is gone, I'm starting to get a little bit scared off Tyson. I have Tate clearly a tier above Tyson now in rookie drafts. I would be very surprised to see somebody Tate Tyson over Tate. That's a great teaser for our rookie mock draft next week. mellow. I'll chime in.
Starting point is 00:14:08 I completely agree. He is a tier of his own 102 for me, and I have him as the wide receiver 9 in Dynasty. I'm ahead of like, you know, Nico Call and George Pick
Starting point is 00:14:16 and Tett McMill. I think Carnal Tate, there's a possibility we're looking at it mid-season. He's the wider receiver 5 in Diocese because he has 600 yards in his first day games.
Starting point is 00:14:26 As we were just talking about that with Abuka last year, how if he had kept up that like pace that he was going in the first few weeks, I truly do wonder where we'd be racking him right now. people were calling on like oh he's going to be a mid two this summer obviously like with hindsight how we finished the year that didn't happen but like the halfway point of the year when he was averaging 18 points per game like it almost seemed contrarian if he didn't say that yeah he would have been so much more expensive than he is now if he had oh yeah even just played at like 80% of what we're happy about it we'll take the discount 100% oh for sure my second guy uh this is a peck out of mine um well transparency i am a michigan fan so so take it for what it is.
Starting point is 00:15:05 But I think everybody is a fan of this guy at this point. Ghost 10th overall, 6-6-240-pound frame. Started the season slow because, you know, he was dealing with an off-season training injury. I believe he was coming off of surgery. Came into camp a little bit late. Had to warm up, obviously, a veteran on the roster, kind of have to naturally usurp with a rookie head coach.
Starting point is 00:15:24 But once Colson Loveland became the guy, oh my God, was he dominant? And I have lost issues. Again, he's going tight end three overall in ADT. It's all like I'm saying. he should be tight end three and he's going off the board tight in nine right now. Like I don't think that necessarily is the hot take in its own right. But I would argue that he should be far closer to Trey McBride than he should be to number four.
Starting point is 00:15:44 And in my current rankings, I have Trey McBride as my 23rd overall player in startup Superflex. I have Coulson Loveland at 26. Wow. And this is because I believe there's the opportunity come week five, come week six, given the role we saw at the end of the year, given the fact that as much as I really enjoy the overall factors of this bear's office. offense. Caleb Williams obviously a stud. You have three wide receivers that you felt comfortable with last year. We'll touch upon DJ more leaving in a second. I love Luther Burden. I really like Roma Dunzee. To me, with how they finished the seasons, it would be contrarian to think that Colson Loveland won't end up being the number one on the scheme. Because when you look at week
Starting point is 00:16:20 7 to 18, 12.9 points per game was a top five tight end in points per game down that stretch. But when you really look into it, when the marbles were on the floor, when everything was at stake, when the Bears had to win in the playoffs. They were going to their number one target, and their number one target was Colson Loveland. Colson Loveland in the final four games of the season, 10 plus targets, 90 plus receiving yards in three of his last four games, and 25 targets in his two playoff games.
Starting point is 00:16:47 This was a guy that didn't even turn 22 until after the season. He turned 22 years old on April 9, and he was a guy that had 25 targets in his first two career playoff games. Again, Bowders is the tight-in-one. I'm not arguing that, like especially in the role with lost days. Vegas now, Concubiak, the receivers over there. Like, Bowers is going to be an absolute stud. But after him, if you're talking about a guy that three years from now
Starting point is 00:17:08 is going in the second round of startups, I only realistic view that it's going to be Bowers and Loveland. Again, McBride right now, the level of production, I think he needs to be in that tier. But I really do think whether you take Loveland or McBride in a startup, it should be based off who you got in your first two picks. If you have a young team and you want to take the swing on Loveland, just wait a couple picks and take them later.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Absolutely. this it's so funny you bring him up and you talk about like people are so excited about dunez people are so excited about burden we actually brought up burden as a potential bust a few episodes ago which people are not happy about but mellow brought up that after the dj more trade obviously burden skyrocketed up and that was our concern colson lovelin's adp actually dropped which makes no sense to me no sense yeah but 100% it's you're right though like i think you put it so well when you said it'd be contrarian to say Colson Loveland will not be the number one receiver in this offense. And I think most people do like accept and acknowledge that. But at the same time,
Starting point is 00:18:06 the DJ More trade is such a great example of people not actually quantifying that or acknowledging that when you get really hot and bothered by a guy like Luther Burden, who sure is great. I like Luther Burden too. Yeah. But Loveland is ultimately going to be the number one receiver in this offense. And he's going to be the number one receiver at a more difficult position to fill in fantasy, which makes him all that much more valuable. Oh yeah. I mean, he's going, I believe, 45 overall currently in best ball ADP. BBM just dropped today. So I definitely going to start getting some bullets in. But he's going to like 45 overall. And when I was working on my best ball rankings today to get up on the site, I'm looking at it. And I'm like, do I want to take him or T. Higgins? Do I want to take him or Tedrole-McMillan? Do I want to take him or insert with Chris Alabe? Like, I'm looking at Loveland versus these players. And I'm like, I can see it being almost a 50. 50-50 and just pure receiving stat lines, and I'm giving this guy a tight end. Yeah, specifically the positional scarcity when you're talking about best ball.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Like, if you hit on the guy that's not the number one tight end off the board that finishes as the number one, you have such an advantage. Yeah, man. Talk about 17 plus points per game. He's one of the maybe three tight ends that I think are talented enough to reach that. I agree. I think he is the only tight end outside of McBride in Bowers, who legitimately could be the tight end one this upcoming season.
Starting point is 00:19:26 and he's still so, so young, so you could be getting close to a decade of that kind of production. All right, we ready for the next one here? So ready. I'm going to shift gears to quarterback, and I hate to sound like a broken record, because I have brought up this guy on the show before, although I haven't really given my full sales pitch,
Starting point is 00:19:41 but I'm ready to do so now after the draft, and that is Jalen Hertz, and I can see Danny getting ready to grab the pitchfork as a Cowboys fan, but bear with me here, spare me for now. Let me lay out my argument here for Jelan Hertz, and why I think he is such a great value. right now. There is such a stench
Starting point is 00:20:00 on Jalen Hertz right now, especially with the fantasy community. It's like overwhelming. He almost has like J.J. McCarthy energy to him at this point. Just to the extent he's getting. Start calling him one. See, I'll start going him one.
Starting point is 00:20:13 But I mean, people are just like so disgusted by Jalen Hertz. And I think he was already because of that becoming a great bylaw option in Dynasty. And now all of a sudden he has some new tools around him to help a rebound going into next year. I won't even get into the Batula firing. We've talked about it, but that's obviously a huge step forward. Then you look at the actual roster.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Yes, A.J. Brown will absolutely be gone. But I do love Mackay Lemon as a prospect. They traded up to 20 to make sure they get him. He should be a very immediate contributor. I think a very good, incredible contributor for this offense. There's a reason they did trade up to get him. Then you look at what they did in the second round, taking Eli Stowers, who, yes, is a titant.
Starting point is 00:20:55 ends, but truly he's just a wide receiver. He is a big body wide receiver who will be a nice complimentary piece in this offense. He might be the X. 100%. They're going to move him all over the field. They still have Dallas Goddard for now, but again, that doesn't mean they can't both be on the field,
Starting point is 00:21:12 especially with the skill set. And then long term, he's going to be the tight end on this team, X receiver, Joker, whatever you want to call him. Evan Engroom. The movable chess piece. Exactly. The movable chess piece. Every cliche you can think of.
Starting point is 00:21:27 The playmaker. Exactly. And I think the cherry on top for me, too, is you look at what they did in the third round. Again, taking an offensive tackle, Markell Bell, who last year the Eagles had some injury issues at the offensive tackle position. So in the short term, they got their new swing tackle to help, you know, hold things together if there do continue to be injuries. And then long term, hopefully he's the Lane Johnson replacement, who's going to retire probably very soon, has been very good for them. Obviously, it's good if they can get that replacement. and I can't emphasize enough that even with the disappointment of last year, which felt so
Starting point is 00:22:01 disappointing for Jayland Hertz and Eagles, he was still a quarterback one, just like he is every single year. And I am planting my flag right now that he will be a whole lot better next year because of these changes we talked about. Everyone seems to be wanting to sell Jaylen Hertz. To me, that's exactly why he's such a great buy. And no, he's not cheap by any means. He's still the quarterback 10 on keep trade cut, quarterback 8 and fantasy pros. But that's the cheapest he's been in many many years since like Corson Wence was still an eagle. So that makes him a great buy candidate right now. Melo, if that's your sales pitch, then I'm buying. I think something so important about everything you just mentioned is I keep hearing the same thing about, yeah, well, AJ Brown's out of the building.
Starting point is 00:22:39 And of course, AJ Brown is AJ Brown. But like, not only do I think McCoy Lemon is incredibly talented, he's much younger. And you talk about bringing in stowers and you talk about bringing a new offensive tackle. And you're getting Jalen Hertz all these weapons and pieces that are younger and they're looking to the future for him. I think when you look at Dynasty, like, that's exactly the type of opportunity and situation that you want to target. Yeah, I mean, this guy's been a, like you said, top six level quarterback producer for how long, and this is the cheapest you're going to get him. And again, I will acknowledge, like, there are some longevity risks that I have as well. It's like, is this guy going to be
Starting point is 00:23:15 starting at a high level in five years? Maybe, maybe not. But at the same time, all the other guys that are producing at the level he is, or either extremely old. or top 15, 18 startup picks. The fact that you're getting, you know, at least a round discount between him and the other options, to me is worthwhile as well. And again, I'm not just saying that because despite being a Cowboys fan, I do have a lot of deal and hurts in my portfolio.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Good. I'm glad you're on board then. That makes you feel a lot better about it. Oh, yeah. I hope everyone has enjoyed this episode so much because you're going to stop enjoying it for this last pick. I'm going to talk about Terry McLaren. And hear me out. I know Terry McLaren's 30 years old
Starting point is 00:23:54 And so this is like, if you're trading for Terry McClorin, this is an absolute buy now, sorry, win now move to get him. Do you guys know how many games Terry and Jaden played together healthy last year? Don't like zero. I was going to say maybe like it felt like four or five maybe in the mid portion of the year before he got hurt again. They only were on the field for three games together. Wow. So, wow.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Obviously it felt like Terry McLaren had a catastrophic year, Jaden Daniels had a catastrophic year. Even so, and even while competing for the targets with Devo Samuel, Terry still finishes the wide receiver 34 in points per game, now the wide receiver 42 in Dynasty. And to me, there's zero reason to assume he's going to be worse statistically with the situation they have right now in Washington. I think it's very easy to forget that if you turn the clocks back one year to 2024,
Starting point is 00:24:44 Terry McLaurin came within 0.1, which I thought that was insane, 0.1 points of JSN to be the wide receiver 7 on the season. And of course the devil's advocate there is touchdown regression and he was second the whole NFL with 13. But now you have a healthy Jaden and a healthy Terry reuniting, Dibo Samuel out of the building, and they're going from the eighth most difficult strength of schedule to the 16th. They did bring in Antonio Williams out of Clemson in the third round, but they had to. They had to bring in someone who wasn't Luke McCaffrey or Traylon Burks. And so something that stood out to me is that Jaden Daniels right now is most people's in the top four
Starting point is 00:25:18 quarterbacks for Dynasty, if not the top three. And that's obviously accounting for age. But what's more important to me is that I haven't seen anybody rank him outside of the top four or five quarterbacks in redraft. So if we're pricing in a bounceback for Jane Daniels, I think it's very easy to forget that he would have to bring along some pass catchers. So whether you think that's Terry or Chigaconkwo, I think the odds are that Terry can outproduce a wide receiver 42 price tag. And maybe if you have to give what a mid to late second rounder, that could be the difference in going from a playoff team to a contender. Especially in this class,
Starting point is 00:25:52 like early to mid-second rounder in this class, I'd be willing to give probably, like I said, Mickley, late 2nd, 2027. Yeah, I agree. Look at that depth chart. It's as easy as you can put it. Tonya Williams, sure, you added Kalil Shakir maybe to the offense, maybe, and that's giving him my praise.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Like, if he became an 800-yard-water receiver this year, I think we would say that's a glowing success of Antonio Williams. And if the expectation is where it's at with Jaden Daniels, somebody needs to be dragged along. I'll take the guy that's proven to be a 1,000 yard, 10 plus touchdown type of option. It's almost like with Terry McCorn, when he has his good years, I am all the way out because the market just completely artificially rises him. Like last year, I felt like, oh, I'm not taking him in the third round. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:34 He was one of my biggest fades last year. Same. Him and a lot of it, I feel like every other year, depending on what year they had, they're either the best value or the worst value on the board. Yeah. I agree. And I think it's a way like a blessing how disastrous last year was. He was hurt. Jaden was hurt. But it's like a dream scenario now. I mean, this was an offense that was electric two years ago. Largely because of Terry McLaurin. He's still clearly their number one. I'm not saying the commanders are going to be getting to the NFC title game again,
Starting point is 00:27:07 but I do expect them to go. Third division. Yeah, another, we're to keep pulling these NFC. I know, I'm sorry. This feels targeted at this point. Hey, you guys are lucky I didn't come with Cowboys. We'll do an NFC East special next time. Yeah, that's next on the docket. Yeah, I mean, but there's a lot of good pieces in that division, and I think Terry McLaurin is one of the most forgotten ones, and agreed it has to be sort of a win-now move if you're doing it in Dynasty.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Of course. But at the cost, that's a phenomenal win-now move in my eyes. 46 overall, my best ball rankings? Enter the fourth round. Yeah, I'll buy in on the Redeem season all day. 46 and basketball is even more disgusting to me. That's like an instant buy. For sure.
