Today, we are going to be ranking our top 10 incoming rookies for 2026 based on their super flex fantasy football potential and then identify their ideal landing spot. Welcome into the lineup fantasy football show. I'm Mitch Anderson. I'm Justin Mello. And without further ado, we are going to get right into things. We don't want to waste anybody's time. So let's get into number one, a very controversial pick here.

We're talking Jeremiah Love, running back out of Notre Dame, number one for each of us. I think this is the least amount of time we're going to spend on a guy. because unless you've been hiding under a rock, this is the most obvious pick going on right now. 199 carries for 1372 yards this junior year, 6.9 a carry with 18 touchdowns. The number is just speak for themselves. Yeah, very, very easy 1.1.

Even in Superflex, like still, easily, my number one, not even a question. Super versatile, capable of being a true every down back, gets involved in the passing game. I think over the last decade or so, The only, I think, more highly regarded running back prospects have probably been Sequan, Bejohn, maybe Genty. That one's honestly kind of questionable. Yeah.

I guess maybe Leonard Frenette, too, way back in 2017. That one's sort of questionable as well. But regardless, my point stands, this is an elite running back prospect who should have a very, very immediate impact wherever he lands. We're going to talk NFL player comps at the end of each of these guys. but I actually think the most interesting conversation right now about Jeremiah Love is going to be our first point, which is where do you think his landing spot's going to be? I'm going to audible here, Mitch. I've got crazy a minute into the episode. I'm going to audible.

I have my notes down here. I'm throwing him away. I'm throwing him to the side. So after Ken Walker landed with the chiefs leaving Washington's backfield looking pretty barren, I was convinced he was going to be a member of. the Washington commanders. I don't think he'll be there. And the real popular rumor is the Titans at 4. It seems like everyone in their mother isn't on the Titans taking him.

I think they have too many needs elsewhere to take a running back at 4. That's been my concern there. I agree. Yeah, I don't think they can just because there are so many other needs they have. But all of a sudden we're hearing the whispers about the New York Giants at 5. We talk about Cam Scadaboo maybe being in trouble in Dynasty. That's my prediction. and I think he ends up in New York as a giant.

I love that. I agree on Tennessee. I think you look at exactly what just happened with Ashen Genty in Las Vegas last year. And I don't think teams are going to be clamoring to spend a top pick on a running back when they're not ready as a full football team. Yeah.

I haven't thought about New York that much. That is really interesting. It seemed too high for me for a team that already, I thought, would feel good about Scataboo. But I'm just, I'm buying into the height. I'm a sucker for the height and ending it up. The rumblings going around right now absolutely support that thesis.

Yes, absolutely. I'll go with the more boring landing spot. I initially had him going to Kansas City, but with Ken Walker now headed to the Chiefs, I'm going to go with Washington at the seventh pick, and I think you're going to see your Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry Light with Jaden Daniels and Jeremiah Love. But give me your NFL player comp for love.

I'm going to go with Bejohn. I don't know that he'll be as good as... I mean, I think Bejohn is maybe the best running back in the NFL, but stylistically, the elusiveness. Jeremiah Love has one of the sickest spin moves I've ever seen, by the way. Oh my God. It feels like Bijan and the passing game work as well.

So I'll go with Bijan. I tried to say current players, but for this one I want to get a little different because I think Bijan was just so obvious and I figured you'd go with him. I wanted to say Reggie Bush. I think watching his film he reminded me so much, just the way he moves, how elusive he is. The spin move, like you said, like I just, I see so many shades of Reggie Bush. and that excites me like so much. I love that.

I love that. Let's move on to number two. In Superflex, this is also going to be pretty obvious, but a guy that I'm just so excited to talk about in general this summer as we look at Dynasty redraft best ball. That's Fernando Mendoza, quarterback out of Indiana, 3,535 passing yards, 41 touchdowns, and six interceptions with 276 on the ground and a heism. What are your opinions here?

is Fernando Mendoza the dorkiest athlete we've ever seen? Elite athlete. Potentially. In the NFL in a while, yeah. Yeah. And I'm not, I'm a dork, but I'm also not an elite athlete. So it's just kind of jarring to see this elite quarterback prospect. He's at least like an endearing, likable dorky, not like a Mr. Unlimited kind of dorky, which is horrible.

No, yeah, you're right. Dorkiest since Russell Wilson. Dorkiest since Russell Wilson, but in a good way. But all jokes aside. there's a reason he will be the first overall pick. I don't know if I'm allowed to say this match or just cut it or bleep me out, if not. But he's got a fuckable ball.

If you watch Fernando Mendoza throw the football, it is extremely fuckable. I was like, what are you going to say right now? That would need to bleep out. I don't know if that was too risque. No, no, no, no, no. I'm good with it. I might make that the hook of this episode. I saw you getting a little, like,

tight in the collar there. I know. I was like, what is he about to say? Just started. I thought he was canceled. just saying some slurs or something. No. Tice spiral, though, super accurate ball.

Great, great passer. Use the RPO game a ton at Indiana. It was a big part of that offense. Clint Kubiak didn't use a ton of RPO's in Seattle last year. It was a part of the offense. It just wasn't like a staple of it. I'm curious to see if he tries to use it more Mendoza just because he's got that familiarity.

Obviously, Gentie being in that backfield with him too. I think the RPO game could be super successful. But Mendoza himself doesn't really run. And I think that's probably the thing that limits his ceiling the most, limits us from putting him over Jeremiah Love at one. He can take off and run a little bit. But in today's modern NFL with these dual threat quarterbacks, I think he's probably closer to like the 32nd best runner as a quarterback than the first, right?

Yeah. That's completely fair. Yeah, I think that's what limits him. Honestly, in one QB rookie drafts, I'd probably because of that put him like at the end of the first. like 10 or 11 even. It's kind of a weaker draft class, so maybe a little bit higher than that.

But obviously in Super Flex Leagues, that'll bump them up all the way to two. Yeah. Can I say something and you can bleep it out if it's too risky? Let's hear it. I think he's going to end up in Las Vegas. Bro, that is, you're a heathen for that one.

Something interesting about Las Vegas. We've spent the whole summer talking about how this situation is just simply going to get better because it couldn't have been worse than it was with Gino Smith. In fact, I promised to eat a literal crow if it got worse. But already Vegas is showing financially that they are committed to putting Mendoza in the best position possible. They had a lot of money burning a hole in their pocket. Defensive signings were kind of the headliners, but Tyler Lindelbaum, three years, $81 million.

They added Jalen Naylor, three years, $35 million. I can't say that that one was like the biggest signing that made sense. But to me, it's money talks. and they're putting their money where their mouth is. They think Mendoza is the guy. I think they want to put him in a position to succeed immediately, along with Gentie, along with Bowers. Also, does the Tom Brady involvement not excite you like a little bit?

I'm like, maybe I'm just being an idiot, but there's a part of it. I'm going to be honest. I'll be honest, not really. I think it's good for like... No, I don't think you are. I don't think you are. I think the narrative is definitely there because anytime you have the greatest quarterback of all time affiliated with a franchise

and you get the quarterback going first overall. I get it. I just don't know how involved he'll be. By the way, in free agent signings, you forgot to mention they signed Max Crosby from the Baltimore Ravens. Really big get. Oh, yeah, huge, huge get.

That was a big shock. Game changing edition. All right, we have our landing spot. My NFL comp was Matt Ryan. I love that. Yeah, I just said I wasn't going to do any more non-current players, but he just, it just fit to me.

No, I actually think that's really good. He's actually weirdly a little bit more mobile than Matt Ryan, even though we talk about because of lack of mobility. Yeah, I hadn't run down Matt Ryan with sneaky wheels. Sneaky wheels, I like that. I think that's really good. I'll try to say someone different

just so we're not repeating. I think there's some Andrew Luck in his game. I kind of like Andrew. I think Andrew Luck was a better prospect. Sure. But if you do want a current player who also probably was a better prospect, The closest thing I could think of was Joe Burrow.

In terms of play style, not Nora. Definitely not Joe Burrow with ORA. No, no. No. Very opposite. Very opposite. All right. Let's jump over to number three.

Carnell Tate, wide receiver out of Ohio State. One for 51 receptions for 875 yards and nine touchdowns. This is, I think, where things start getting interesting and a lot of, I hate using the word analysts because a lot of us are just assholes on microphones. But a lot of us podcasters, etc., us especially, um, you know, we're kind of debating who should be at the top of this three-headed wide receiver dragon. We both had Carnal Tate here, which I think is interesting. It's one of those really cool situations where he wasn't even the top wide receiver on his college team. And that's kind of becoming the new normal here at Ohio State where they're just pumping out

incredible wide receivers. You look at even like a guy like JSN and look how that. that's worked out. What jumps off the page obviously is like measurable and like size. He's six three hundred and ninety five pounds. Like super unique build for a wide receiver, but I absolutely love the talent. I would not be surprised if he was the number one wide receiver off the board, but it seems like all the news reports coming out right now are all over the place. I don't know if you're with me on that. Yeah, I think he has seemed like the favorite. I do think he will be the first receiver off the board. I think the 40 time might have put a little bit of a damper in that,

the disappointing 40 time. It wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't, but if I'm guessing who it'll be, I do think it'll be Carnal Tate. I don't like to, I don't like to concern myself with the combine and all of that stuff. But I will say what bothers me is like, these bigger guys that get worried about separation issues.

And when that's already a concern and you see the concerning 40, it sneaks into your head a little bit, but I do think he's going to be fine. I do too. He is really interesting to me, though, because you mentioned, like, so the thing he did best at Ohio State was he took the top off defenses. He's a field stretcher, high a dot kind of player.

But you're right, he doesn't have, like, game-changing breakaway speed. And he's also, I mean, he's big. He's a six-three. He's got a very big catch radius. But he's not like George Pickens towering over guys. is making these crazy contested catches. So it's kind of interesting to me.

He was so successful as a depot guy when there's not necessarily one specific attribute of his that is elite. But the production was there. You mentioned Ohio State. For me, that's the biggest thing. Unless your name is Marvin Harrison, Jr., I will not bet against Ohio State receiver.

I had it in my notes of like, I used to be LSU as wide receiver you. Like, as of right now, you cannot argue with it being Ohio State. they're just pumping out insane NFL talent. Yeah, year over year, multiple guys first round pick. So that's what I feel good about. The other thing, too, is obviously the draft hasn't happened yet.

We don't know where a hoax go. But something as somebody who spends way too much of researching for my dynasty drafts, I think the two things I care about most are landing spot, which we don't know, and draft capital, which we don't know. But I feel good there's a strong chance he'll be the first receiver off the board. a lot of NFL teams are enamored with him, and that says a lot that teams are that interested in him. So that is something to pay attention to.

Speaking of the other side of that, landing spot being so important, I'll give my prediction. I think that's who the Giants select at number five. I think they pair Malik neighbors and Carnell Tate for Jackson Dart. And I think they become one of the hottest teams to target for fantasy, which I think in turn then starts making everyone way too expensive for me. I kind of like that.

take. I think that's possible. And I think you're right. If he does land there, that will happen. I'm saying also redraft in best ball things get too expensive for me. 100%. They'll become like the Texans of 24 where we pumped up like, it was like Nico and Stroud and Diggs and Tank. Yeah. It was just, it got out of hand. But I like that. I have them going to pick later to the Browns because they don't have any wide receivers that are remotely close to like legitimate NFL talents. So you don't want Carnell Tate to have a good career. is what you're telling me. Yeah.

Sorry. That might be the worst possible landing spot. I think there's a chance. It's a little early for him, both the Giants and Browns. I wouldn't be surprised if they both pass on him. So we'll see. But at six, he's probably the top receiver in the draft, and you're the Browns, and you have no wide receiver talent.

It's really hard not to pick him at that point. I'd have to be happy for him to end up with a Pro Bowl quarterback. but true my uh my NFL comp was T. Higgins. I like that. Um, this was a hard one. This was actually one of the harder ones.

I saw yours in the notes. I think it's a great one too. He is a hard guy to identify an NFL comp for. I changed it like three times. I changed my comp so many times for him. I ended up landing on Nico Collins. I think that's great too. Yeah.

Like a field stresher without elite speed, relatively big. Probably the closest thing I could think of. Yeah, I think that's great. Let's move on to number four, another wide receiver in the mix. Mackay Lemon out of USC. He was my number five, your number four. Went for 79 receptions for 1156 yards and 11 TDs in his junior year. I'll let you start since you had him a spot higher than me.

He is Amundrae St. Brown if he were a Disney villain. And I know that probably sounds like a wild thing to say, but I'm assuming you and a lot of people have seen the, what was it a week ago the interview he did yes the press conference he did the way he talked i've never seen a human being talk like that except for like literal like disney villains it was it was kind of like a disney villain meets like somebody trying to seduce me you know what i mean the way he was just jogging it was like he was trying to seduce everyone around him uh very strange like very weird human behavior um but the other half of that comparison on around

St. Brown stuff. That's everywhere. That is not a unique take of mine. And I think it's a super justifiable comparison, given they both played at USC, of course, and then also just their play styles. He is predominantly a slot receiver. He was used on the outside, so I'm at USC, but I think in the NFL he'll be a slot more than anything. Incredible route runner, really NFL ready. I think day one can be a great contributor, great talent despite the lack of size. He has pro football focus's second highest ranked receiver in terms of receiving grade of all receivers in college football last year with at least 50 targets. Like I mentioned, he doesn't have the physical size.

He's not particularly fast either compared to other receivers. But the run routing, the route running sabiness and the reliability of his hands, I think he should still be a very high pick because of how NF already he is. I have very little to contribute here because you hit on all my notes. Pro football focus is number one. receiver in the NCAA. I think he has got the type of game that is going to translate so quickly. I think he's going to be an instant impact kind of guy.

He's so sound technically. The route running's incredible. He's so good at creating separation. And then once he gets the ball in his hands, very similar to Amunrae St. Brown. It's just so exciting to watch. I think landing spot is going to be a big factor. And my fear, I'm not even saying my landing spot, I'm saying my fear is that he ends up with

the New York Jets playing with Gino Smith. I hope that's not the. case, but to me, where he's kind of being projected in the draft and they do have a need for like somebody to run alongside Garrett Wilson, like, it makes sense to me. And then I'll just spoil my NFL player comp is also Amin Ra. But I did have also, if you wanted a deeper pull, a little ways back. He kind of reminds me to Golden Tate, another lion. I like that. Yeah, undersized, like explosive out of the slot does a lot of the damage there. Like, Amman Ra is the better comparison, but if you want to get a little contrary and just say someone

else hit a different Detroit line. Yeah, both Detroit Lions. I like that. I think that's totally fair. You're right. I'm afraid he ends up with the Jets because they have no depth behind Garrett Wilson. I am going to officially make that my prediction as well. I'm so pissed. I had him at 14 to the Raiders and I felt really good about that. Get Mendoza to safety blanket. NFL ready guy. They had a big need out wide receiver. And then the frickin Ravens pulled the rug from, you know, from under the entire NFL. Now all the Raiders don't have that. pick, I think he ends up with the freaking Jets.

Yeah. Let's move on number five. Let's flip-flop here. My number four, your number five. And that is Jordan Tyson, wide receiver out of Arizona State. Somebody that I think I'm getting increasingly higher on. Same. Same.

Same. For 61 receptions for 711 yards and eight touchdowns in only nine games. You could 100% debate he is the most talented receiver in this class. But the elephant in the room is the injury history. You took the words right out of my mouth. I think he very well might be the best receiver in the draft. I'm actually pissed you had it higher than me. Like I wanted to be the Jordan Tyson Truther on this podcast.

We can share it. Yeah, why not? We can share it. I'll let you have Parker. I want a little bit of Parker. Yeah. But we can go 50-50 on Jordan Tyson. I want to give my, spoil my NFL comp early.

Yes, please. 200 pounds. When I watch Jordan Tyson, all I see is George Pickens. he's electric, he's flashy, the hurdles, the twitchy moves, he's so dynamic. I just, I couldn't not see George Pickens. With the ball on his hands, I 100% agree. That is very good comp. I think if I'm being like critical or nitpicky, he's not as big as Pickens,

and I don't think he has the catch radius of George Pickens, but with the ball in his hands, they do look pretty similar. That's fair. That's fair. I do like that. I do like that comp, though. in a weird kind of way, he almost parallels Carnell Tate for me. They're similar sizes. They can both stretch the field. I weirdly think, though, despite Carnal Tate probably being a little bit higher regarded

as a prospect, Jordan Tyson, I do think is the better athlete. Yeah. It's just like you said, he's just got to stay on the field. I also changed my NFL comp for him, just like I have for. for every other receiver. I feel like, um, I originally,

this would have pissed you off. I originally had Brian Thomas. Oh, because the big frame, the elite athleticism. Yeah. But I thought about it more and I watched the tape again. And Tyson's too shifty.

And I don't want to put him in the same category as Brian Thomas. It's hard though. It's like, Brian Thomas was such a great prospect out of college that it's like, it's not insulting. You know what I mean? No. Yeah.

100%. Um, but I do, I do genuinely think Jordan Tyson has like a, a quickness to him that you don't really see as much with Brian Thomas. So that's why I landed on

he's like a taller Justin Jefferson. I don't think he's going to be as good as Justin Jefferson. But Justin Jefferson's ability to get open, good with the ball on his hands. Fast, but more so quick than fast, I would say. That kind of reminds me of Jordan Tyson. I decided to say he goes to the bills.

I don't know he's there, to be honest, by the time Buffalo is picking. I think there's a chance he is. though, and despite them landing DJ more, they still need more at wide receiver at this point. I think Keon Coleman is kind of out of chances. And if he's there, I think they pull the trigger on. I think that would be such a phenomenal, I mean, oh my God, if you're a Josh Allen dynasty manager right now and you picked up another weapon this off season, I feel like you're just like playing with house money without good things are on for you. I think that would be a great landing spot for him.

And I don't think, like you said, like the Keon Coleman thing's not working out. It's not like they have an abundance of riches at receiver with DJ Moore now. Like, they can absolutely keep adding. Yeah, I think that would be the best scenario for everyone on the bills, besides, I guess, DJ Moore. Yeah. All right, at number six, we have our first tight end, Kenyon, Sadiq, out of Oregon. We both had him at number six.

I wanted to rank him higher, but I just couldn't. I'm just such a sucker for these wide receiver-esque tight end archetypes, but last year at Oregon, 51 receptions for 560 yards and eight touchdowns. When I talk tight ends, I'm also someone who is so cognizant of the scarcity of truly elite tight ends. And when you're looking at a guy like this, like he profiles as a guy who could break out as like for fantasy, one of the top five guys. And so that does really excite me. I know you have a lot of notes on this guy. I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Yeah, he mentioned it. He's kind of a big wide receiver, which is what we see with a lot of tight ends coming into the league. Part of me thinks six is a little high for a tight end in a super flex rookie draft, but I mean, basically is a wide receiver anyways. It's a position where if you get the edge, it means a whole lot. I think this is also just a weaker draft class for rookies in general. And it's like, why would you not take a shot on the guy that's far in a way the best at his position for like fantasy football outlook? I think that is a very fair take and a good way to put it because right it is a weaker draft class and this guy's a freak I mean if there's any physical knock on him which there isn't much it's just that he's a little bit short for a tight end but like who cares he is a freak of nature 6-3 yeah yeah but number one athleticism score among all tight ends in the draft according to next gen stats ran a 43940 and has a 43 and a half inch vertical I can't stress enough how

absurd that is for a 240 pound tight app. Dude, this guy's going to be a mad and demon. Yes. Oh my God. Mad and he is going to be a cheat code. And he might be in real life too. I'm very curious to see where he lands for, I mean, obviously just in fantasy, that matters a lot.

But I think the T matters because it will greatly dictate how he's used because he was used as a blocker or something he could develop and be okay at in the NFL. but certainly from a fantasy football perspective and honestly maybe even in a real life situation, real life perspective, I think it might be best for a team to just say we're going to use him like the Saints use like Jimmy Graham and we're just going to line him up in the slot and out wide

and we're going to draw mismatches against linebackers and safeties and we're going to not really give a shit if he can block because we're just going to use him as a big mismatch at the tight end position. Yeah, I could completely see that. Where do you have him for a landing spot? I landed on the Carolina Panthers. Similar to Jordan Tyson, I'm not sure he's there where I have him going.

Panthers at 19, I think there's a good chance he's gone by then. But if you look at the teams picking before Carolina, there aren't a lot of teams that desperately need a tight end. So if he gets there to 19, I think the Panthers are all over it. I have him falling to Baltimore. I think with Isaiah likely's departure, and I think with Mark Andrews kind of on the back nine here, I could see them bringing in a new tight end

And like, I think maybe it's just like the fantasy football fan in me just gets so excited at the thought of Lamar Jackson having a new toy in that offense. That would be very fun. And they could use pass catcher. So the fit does kind of make sense. And you know Lamar Jackson loves targeting his tight ends too. Absolutely. Who do you have for an NFL cop? I have, I hope this doesn't come across as insulting.

I had Harold Fanon Jr. Just because of the athleticism and the run after catchability. He's faster than Harold Fanon. He's also, I think, a little bit shorter. Although I think they're probably pretty similar sizes. And I think he could be a lot better than Harold Fennon, but that's the best I could come up with. I had a very hard time on this one. I said Brock Bowers, and I think a lot of that is how much of an ability I think he's going to have to be a high-volume pass catcher immediately in the NFL.

And it's more of a production profile than it is a physical profile. But I do think if you're looking at like, honestly, anybody in this draft class, like, who has the office? opportunity to make a huge difference at their position as a rookie. I think it's him. He could absolutely, like, his ceiling is being a volume king like Brock Bowers. So it's not like the craziest comparison to bank at all. Let's move on number seven. Another wide receiver, Denzel Boston out of Washington. He was both of our number sevens. 62 receptions for 881 yards and 11 touchdowns. He is an absolute outlier for size that receiver, 6'4, 209 pounds. I think he could very quickly become a guy for fantasy players and for any time touchdown betters that they would

just fall in love with because I think he's going to be such a dominant red zone threat in the NFL. The conversation around him is a little bit what I alluded to with Carnell Tate of separation problems and that always just scares me so much with these guys, especially at like such a big size. I think he's the most unique, highly regarded prospect in this class and my favorite guy to talk about. Not necessarily my favorite guy that I'm super excited about drafting and rookie drafts, but he's my favorite guy to talk about because he is so unique and so interesting. Yeah. One note before I let you go is, I was just talking about lack of separation. He did rank third among qualified receivers with 75 or more targets with a 76.9% contested catch rate,

which is pretty wild. The catch radius is great. He's big. He is physical. He is physical. He is physically, the reason he's knowing in the first run is because he has the physical abilities to be a very good NFL receiver. He's not particularly fast, so that is a problem. But he is, I would say, explosive, he's athletic, and I can't emphasize enough. He is big.

He was interestingly used at Washington a lot and like pre-snap motion. Kind of those cheat motions, like Mike Big Daniel and Kyle Shanahan have referred to them before, where he's running full speed at the snap, parallel with the line of scrimmage to kind of get full speed at the snap, crossing routes, a lot of slants,

a lot of deep posts. And he was pretty good at shedding his man defenders. I think the bigger concern is his ability to beat zone coverage. And this is a tweet. I have to share, uh, football insights on X. That's at F ball underscore insights on X.

I have to give them full credit for this because this is one of the most, like, jarring predictive stats I've ever seen. The lowest yards per route run versus zone coverage among receivers taking in the first two rounds since 2019, and this data was pulled from pro football focus. I won't go through the whole list, but number one, which is really like dead last, the worst separation against zone coverage. Jonathan Mingo was the second round pick of the Panthers, bust. Xavier Leggett was number two on that list.

On that list, also the Panthers also a bust. Adonai Mitchell hasn't really been all that good. Nikiel Harry, Kion Coleman, Terrah, Smarshall, KJ, Hamler. Bus, bus, bus, bus. This is like a crazy predictive stat. Denzel Boston will, in all likelihood, be a first two-round pick.

He would be fourth on that list, wedged between Adonai Mitchell and Nikol Harry. Scary. That is a perfect segue into my landing spot. I've been seeing a ton of New England and all I've been having in my head is Nikiel Harry. I wake up in a cold sweat thinking of New England drafting Denzel Boston and just getting Nikiel Harry part two. And so I don't know if

it's me being a New England Patriots fan. I do not, I don't want us to draft him. So I'm not going to go with New England. I'm going to say Vegas takes him. I think they pair him with Mendoza. Yeah, top of the second. I could very well see it. I'm going to do the fun fantasy pick. And I'm going to say the Kansas City Chief Stake. That's a little high. I don't know that he'll actually go that I think there's a good chance he falls into the early second, like you mentioned. But Rishi Rice, I don't know what his future is going to look like. And the depth behind him is garbage. And I think they really want to make it up to Mahomes for not giving him proper weapons over the last couple years.

So I could see a landing in Kansas City. That would be so Kansas City. They just took such like a Madden player with Xavier Worthy a few years ago. And now they just take the exact opposite with Boston. I had for an NFL comp and this was like sickening to me because I, A worse Nickyell Harry. I mean, not

Nickyle. A worst Nickyell Harry. I don't know how much worse you can get. A worse Nikolns. Worse Nico Collins. I think that's fair. Big buddy guy.

My comparison, this is kind of a funny one. If everything goes perfectly, and I mean perfectly, he's kind of a target brand, Pukinakua to me. Oh my God.

We just spent like five minutes talking about all the issues with this guy. Yeah, probably top five receiver. Well, you know, he's like Nico calling me as Puka Nakua. Full disclosure, I'm scared enough of that, that, uh, Yars Perra running against own coverage that I'm not really a believer. But stylistically, he's big. He's not super fast, which Puka, that was the big knock on him coming out of college.

He wasn't very fast. And I mentioned those pre-snap motions getting him going and those crossing routes. Puck and Akua does that all the time with the Rams. So I think that's probably a big reason why teams are interested. in looking at him like a potential first because of a guy like Pooka Nakua. Worth knowing though, Pukina Kua, super reliable hands, and great

against zone coverage, which cannot be said about Denzel Boston. So not the perfect comparison. Both of our comps are like top five percentile outcomes for Denzel boss. Yes. I think that's a good way to put in for sure. All right.

At number eight, another guy on your graphic that you were just talking about, Casey Concepcion, Y Receiver out of Texas A&M. 61 receptions for 919 yards and 9 TDs in his junior season. This is actually a smaller-sized guy, but very versatile, mainly played in the slot, but they loved moving him around. I see you have it noted down as well, but the drops are actually a bit of an issue. Tied for the eighth most drops last season of qualified receivers with seven and the 14th highest drop rate at 10.3%.

I think this is a guy I have a lot of concerns about translating of the NFL. which is why I have him as our lowest ranked wide receiver here in the top 10. Yeah, he mentioned he is also on that same chart I was mentioning earlier. He would actually be right after Nikolhiari before Kiann Kulman. He also struggled against zone coverage, which is kind of funny because he's so different from Denzel Boston. Like Tenzel Boston we're talking about is like this big physical presence, whereas Iseption, you mentioned, is smaller side, more of a slot receiver.

But he struggled with drops. He struggled versus zone coverage. Um, but overall, I see why teams are interested. He is very, very fast. He doesn't have a lead speed or anything like that, but he is very, very fast. He could be a good slot receiver, good with the ball on his hands after the catch. Needs to work on the hands, absolutely, the catch reliability, but he is very explosive, very quick, and there is potential there. Where do you have him for a landing spot? I landed on actually the team you had Denzel Boston taking. I have them with the Raiders at the top of the second round. Okay. I have him going to San Francisco, almost similar to the DJ Moore situation you were talking about

where it's a team that just brought in a receiver and free agency, but I don't think that fixes the whole problem. And I talked about this. I forget if this was earlier this episode or last episode about this kind of new generation of San Francisco receivers to surround Brock Purdy with. And you don't have Debo, Samuel, or Brandon Ayuk, or Joanne Jennings. So what's the next step with this team?

And I think they try taking a shot on a receiver. And I think this guy probably fits the profile of what they need the most. Keep him away from the electrical substation. But who do you have for an NFL comp? To me, he screams Zay Flowers. He's a little bit taller than Zay, but stylistically super similar. I would like to preface what I'm about to say with the fact that I was going to write Zay Flowers. but you had it and I wanted to get different

and I don't know if I was feeling some type of way but my NFL comp is Roman Wilson who it's like it's not wrong but I also'm like reading it back I'm like that's a little mean but I actually I don't know I think it makes sense

I think he could be a better version of Roman Wilson but to me if you look at like the physical profile and what he's done in college that's what I got I think that's that's actually really good. I won't lie. I kind of like that. Sometimes I think, and this is us included, all of us in the football community are too afraid to give like a mean comp. When in reality, like, I kind of think that's what his comp is right now. Physically and like in stature they're

similar. And you're right. He could end up being a lot better than Roman Wilson, but even stylistically too. Like it does make sense. It makes sense. All right. Let's move on. Number nine, Jadarian Price running back out of Notre Dame. We just had an opportunity to talk. about guys who weren't even the best wide receivers on their team. Let's talk about a guy who wasn't even the best running back on his team. Back up for Jeremiah Love, but got 1113 carries for 674 yards and 11 touchdowns. He runs very hard, not a ton of passing work, but I actually do think this is a guy that could be a difference maker in the NFL, like almost immediately if he gets the right opportunity. I think you put it well. He wasn't even at the starter on team. That's concerning.

He does have good vision. He's a good natural. runner between the tackles. He doesn't really have breakaway speed. He doesn't really feel like much of a home run hitter. But he's the whole hard. He fights for extra yards. He's probably the second best running back in this class, albeit it's a weaker running back class. Yeah. Who do you have for his landing spot? This could go a lot of different ways. I am going to say the Tennessee Titans, like I mentioned earlier in the episode. A lot of people have Jeremiah. I love going there at four. I I think they address a probably more important position with their top five pick, but they can get Jeremiah Love a whole round later anyways.

We got Jeremiah Love at Home type pick. Yeah. Yeah. Jeremiah Love version 2 with Price. So I think that's a more likely direction for them to go. I kind of like Seattle to pick him up. It's looking more and more like we're not going to get some big splashy move. to replace Kenneth Walker.

And so I'm like, is this their Kenneth Walker replacement? Obviously, we're going to get Charbonnet back whenever he's back from his injury. But I'm going to plant my flag. I think this is Seattle's pick. I like that a lot. That is very much a real possibility. Give me your NFL comp.

I, again, changed a few times. But I landed on Sony Michelle for a few different reasons. Yeah. Almost like New England Patriots, Sonyi Michelle, where he was used a little bit less in the passing game than he was at Georgia. If you want a current guy, though, he does remind me some of Kyrin Williams as well. He's a little bit bigger, a little bit taller than Kyron, but there are some similarities there. It's so funny that you chose Sony, Michelle, and I also get the comparison because not the best running back at his own college.

I went with Nick Chubb. I watch him, and he reminds me so much of Nick Chubb. I thought about it, too. I literally was thinking about Nick Chub. The only reason I didn't is because Nick Chubb is a little bit physically. bigger. Yeah, yeah. But I think that is a totally fair.

Running style, though, and I think the lack of, like, real, like, receiving work to me, like, he reminded me so much of Nick Job. I fully understand where you're coming from there. Let's get into our final pick. Jonah Coleman running back out of Washington, got 156 carries for 758 yards and 15 touchdowns. I've seen him described as a wrecking ball, a bowling ball. he is just like powerful runs, absorbing contact. In so many ways, from a fancy football perspective,

he profiles more as a guy that's going to be a thorn in your side for your RB1 than the actual RB1 himself. And based on where he'll go in drafts, just in terms of like capital, I think that's a real possibility. Like, he could be that, but you're right, he's big, he's like a bowling ball, but he's elusive to, like he's got some wiggle to him.

He's pretty agile. It's really the one cut. ability I think is most impressive with him aside from just like the physicality his ability to plant his foot in the ground and quickly change direction cut across the field pretty impressive so I don't think he's like going to be an every down back in the NFL but I think he could be a good contributor somewhere another guy who I think is relatively NFL ready yeah I think he could be like and again a thorn in your side but like a really elite goal line guy in the NFL yeah uh who do you have have for a landing spot.

This one was tough because I have no idea where he's going to go. Like, he will be a first round pick in the actual draft. I could see him going in the second round. I could see him falling all the way to day three in like the fourth round. I feel you. This one's, it's really tough. But I'm going to take a page out of your book, and I'm going to say the Seahawks get Joanna Coleman instead, because you're right.

They have to do something in the draft. They didn't make enough big splashes and free agency at running back. So I think adding a guy like Coleman makes sense. he mentioned to that Charbonnet with a torny CL. Let's see how that goes. They added Emmanuel Wilson. That doesn't really move the needle. So adding a guy like Coleman, I think would make sense.

It pains me to say, but I had Denver. I think this is going to be the move of them bringing in a little. I just, I don't know. I don't believe that J.K. Dobbins can still be a difference maker. It felt like he was an injury away from the wheels falling completely off. And we got that injury. And yes, they signed him to a two-year deal. But I kind of think he ends up in Denver.

it feels like they have to do something, right? Because all the reports were they were interested in like almost every running back in this agency class. And all they did was bring back J.K. Dobbins and Jaliel McLaughlin. They gave them both contracts again. So I wouldn't be surprised if they do draft running back in this draft. It's similar to the Scadaboo situation where you were saying all the buzz was that they were going to get someone to spell him or replace him.

And that's why you've got Jeremiah Love going there. Yeah, absolutely. My NFL comp, something was in the water this day. I said he was Mike Tolbert. I kind of like that big boy running back. I'm just imagining a meatball on the field and I'm like Mike Tolbert, Jonah Coleman. Yeah, I don't hit that at all. I actually didn't do a current guy for this one either.

I just, I tried to think of one and I was just kind of forcing it. But the past player I had with C.J. Anderson, I can unsee it. Watching the tape, he is so similar to C.J. Anderson to me. I think they are very, very similar. That's a better comp. I like that. I like Tolbert too, though. We need another Tolbert kind of guy.

We do, right? It's so fun. You see him trot out there and your buddy who had an anytime touchdown bed on RJ Harvey chucks his water bottle into the wall. You're going to be that buddy. I'm going to be that buddy. That's 100% got to you. If you made it to the end of the episode, please make sure hit that subscribe button to be notified every time we drop a brand new episode.
