1 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,679 Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I am your host, 2 00:00:23,679 --> 00:00:26,839 Corey Evans. Thank you for listening to this week's show. It is titled 3 00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:31,600 Rookie Wall or a Bust. I have five rookies to discuss with a Dynasty 4 00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:35,000 long term perspective in mine. I will preface I had come up with a 5 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,880 creative episode title, but I don't think any rookie in the NFL today is 6 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,240 a bust, not even Quentin Johnston with his drop issues we've seen over the 7 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,240 past few weeks. It's far too early to write off someone that has the 8 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,280 pedigree or draft capital that we were intrigued by only a short few months ago. 9 00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:55,039 We are now eleven weeks into the twenty twenty three campaign, which is 10 00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:59,359 a solid but not large enough setle size of data to truly determine the career 11 00:00:59,439 --> 00:01:03,320 arc of any rookie, prospect or now player in the NFL, So keep 12 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,480 that in mind. Even though some could be labeled a bust, I'm not 13 00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:08,200 quite there yet.

Let's get right to it. 21 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,719 Rookie wall or a bust up? First is Bryce Young, who I think 22 00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:42,359 many will label in that bust category, and I caution you to do so. 23 00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:45,840 A lot of factors that are working against him. He's only twenty two 24 00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,760 first overall pick out of Alabama. Size was the one caveat to his upside 25 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,840 as a pro at five ten two oh four some website tad and listened at 26 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,959 one to ninety four post NFL draft. For the most part, though, 27 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,439 it sounds like he is right around a two hundred pound range, give or 28 00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:04,319 take a fee lbs in either direction. So far, Bryce completing sixty two 29 00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:07,760 point one percent of his passes for five point three yards per attempt, both 30 00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:13,639 of which are well blow his college norms. The accuracy is puzzling, but 31 00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:16,960 the yards per attempt downfield are downright Dreadfield's one of the worst numbers I've seen 32 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,800 out of a starting quarterback in quite some time. He missed Week three with 33 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:27,120 an injury, otherwise has been available for Carolina with inconsistent performances bryce one or 34 00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:30,319 fewer passing touchdowns and eight contests. He's had three passing touchdowns only once. 35 00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:34,479 That was in Week five at Detroit, representing one of his best showings of 36 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,360 the season. Young is making some outright bad decisions. If you watch a 37 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,199 film or any Carolina game, you know what I mean. The footwork in 38 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:45,599 the pocket at times appears stuggish as he drops back to pass go through progressions. 39 00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:49,319 Conversely, factors as I alluded to, such as timid play calling with 40 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,520 either Frank Reich or Thomas Brown, below average supporting cast of weapons. Adam 41 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,560 Thielen is a volume hawk, sure, but wrong side of thirty is not 42 00:02:55,599 --> 00:02:59,639 what he used to be in his elite prime as in Minnesota. If he's 43 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,400 your facto number one, that's a problem, not to mention mediocre to subpar 44 00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:07,639 offensive line support, and we saw it on full display a meek eleven against 45 00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:12,000 Dallas, where Young was sacked left and right. That's all working against Bryce 46 00:03:12,039 --> 00:03:15,360 succeeding as a rookie to this point. Carolina is not. And I want 47 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,560 to stress this's the same fantasy friendly environment like Houston is CJ. Stroud, 48 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,240 or even Indianapolis was for Anthony Richardson before injury. Young has a lot less 49 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,840 to work with in order to produce. If you were to insert Young in 50 00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:30,680 those schemes with Houston or Indianapolis, I promise you would look a lot better 51 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,879 than what we've seen in Carolina. That is part of the value assessment conversation 52 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,919 for any rookie quarterback. And I've had Bryce Young as QB one up until 53 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,199 my latest quarterback ranking show over on Patreon, where that is now CJ. 54 00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:46,599 Stroud among those three, I still like Young more than Richardson long term because 55 00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:51,919 I don't know if ar can change his mindset of being a running, mobile 56 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,520 quarterback. That's not going to work, as we saw in twenty twenty three 57 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,159 before he was injured out for the year, because you take enough hits, 58 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,199 especially to a throwing shoulder, you're not gonna be able to last in the 59 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,400 NFL. Let's go back to Bryce Young. Passing volume has not been an 60 00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:08,520 issue. The Panthers are routinely facing negative gamescript and he has hit or eclipsed 61 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,719 thirty one PAS attempt at eight different games. Therefore, process over results is 62 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,399 if you're trotting Young in your lineup out there, you're hoping for volume, 63 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,199 and he's your quarterback two in a super flex league. Unfortunately, the results 64 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:25,519 have not been in line with the rational thinking of said pass volume equating to 65 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,879 production. From a fantasy point of view, his season high in yards passing 66 00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:30,680 checks in at two forty seven, season low checks in at one to twenty 67 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,959 three. That accounts for an unpredictable floor and near non existent ceiling, particularly 68 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,160 in one quarterback league. Now, Brece Young sure off to a bat star 69 00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:41,560 as a pro, but as I mentioned earlier on this show, it's far 70 00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:46,079 too soon to label hammer anyone a bust, especially a former Heisman Trophy winner 71 00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:51,680 coming out of Nick Saban's Alabama regime, which is usually transferable to the NFL. 72 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,800 We've seen that at sowy positions, both offensively and defensively. I remain 73 00:04:55,879 --> 00:05:00,720 confident about his ability to process information downfield, offer plus accuracy, and own 74 00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:05,800 or display that innate playmaking ability. It could take time, sophomore leap, 75 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,079 third year until Bryce Young is what we thought he was going to be, 76 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,839 or at least three quarters of that ceiling. That being said, he is 77 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,279 very difficult to trust rest of season in a one quarterback super flex two quarterback 78 00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:20,759 format no matter what it is. He's more of a bet on future upside 79 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,600 as the Panthers add more talent to its offensive depth chart. Like I said, 80 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:30,040 You're not going to win football games with Adam Fielder's wide receiver one or 81 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,920 Terres Marshall. This is Channault, DJ Shark, Tommy Tremble, Hayden Hurst, 82 00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:35,759 Miles Sanders, Truba Hubbard. You get the picture. Bryce Young does 83 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:41,279 not have a lot of top tier supporting cast members like TJ. Stroud does 84 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,399 with Tank Dell or Nico Collins, Dalton Schultz, Devin Singleteer. You get 85 00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:47,399 the picture. That's the point I want to get. Context is everything, 86 00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:50,519 and at this point, Bryce Young is in a bad fantasy environment. Does 87 00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:54,160 I mean he's a bust? He's hit a rookie wall, that's for sure. 88 00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:57,360 Zay Flowers, He's twenty three, twenty second overall pick out of Boston 89 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,079 College. Some undoubtedly question his side at five nine two out of school. 90 00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:04,319 To this point, Zay's smaller stature has not proven to be an issue. 91 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,240 Instead, it's been a lack of consistency sending from viowel usage and fewer big 92 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,759 plays than were known or accustomed to being associated with Flowers and a set of 93 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,480 tools on the football field, at least at the collegiate level. And there's 94 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,279 Week twelve at Baltimore, a fifty three to five eighty eight one receiving log 95 00:06:19,319 --> 00:06:24,360 on seventy two targets, seven rushes nineteen yards. The Deebo Samuel Rowl was 96 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,839 a bit overstated. We haven't seeing that sort of Versaly usage yet. If 97 00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:31,600 Flowers had a few more receiving touchdowns on his rookie resume this year, the 98 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,079 narrative surrounding his outlook would be far more optimistic. That is, for sure, 99 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:40,319 one touchdown on fifth three catches and seventy two targets means he's been a 100 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,639 bit unlucky with find the end zone. With various injuries to a shot bateman 101 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,839 Odell Beckham, throughout most of this year, Zay has essentially operated as Baltimore's 102 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:53,120 wide receiver one as results volume has been up for distribution behind Mark Andrews private 103 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,639 injury running backs Gus Edwards, Keeta Mitchell, Justice Hill. Early on in 104 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,759 the campaign was JK. Dobbins, which means we should not be surprised with 105 00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:03,319 this per game target totals so far being ten, five, ten, four, 106 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,319 eleven, eight, six, seven, one, six and four. 107 00:07:06,519 --> 00:07:11,560 Those numbers should climb even more with Mark Andrews presumably out for the rest of 108 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,199 the season or at least until the postseason after the fibula and ankle injuries sustained 109 00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:19,079 in Week eleven, devastating blow to the Ravens offense and fantasy alike. Save 110 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,360 Flowers has yet to clear seventy eight yards receiving in a single game to date. 111 00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:26,720 That came in Week one. Fortunately, he's been serviceable enough from a 112 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,920 county sets perspective, with at least four catches in eight separate games, but 113 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,519 seventy eight yards being the top or peak and his value has been disappointing to 114 00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:36,439 say the least. Nonetheless, what Say is able to do with the ball 115 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,240 in his hands after the catchpoint with speed and agility is special. Remain patient 116 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,480 with him as a wide receiver three, with long term wide receiver two upside 117 00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:47,199 even a wide receiver one season in fantasy cannot be ruled out if he develops 118 00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:50,600 into the Ravens top pass catcher over time. Given the body frame once again 119 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,920 five nine two, I'm not sold that the Ravens won't add an impact free 120 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,879 agent or select another wide out first round, second round and a loaded twenty 121 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:01,879 one for a crop next year, making Zay more of a number two. 122 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,040 Thanks true number one. But if he is, and him and Lamar on 123 00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:09,240 the same page, and they iron this offense out being led by Todd Monkin, 124 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,680 then the sky is truly to limit. He is not as talented as 125 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,839 a Deebo Samuels for comparisons out of bust in college four ze, but they're 126 00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:20,600 receiving and at the constability upside surely exists. He is not a bust. 127 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,720 However, no denying that at times Zave Flowers has hit the perceived rookie wall. 128 00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:28,519 How about Rochean Johnson, not like chatters surrounding him in don Ce Circles 129 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,840 lately twenty two years old, fourth rounder out of Texas similar to his time 130 00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:37,039 in college behind b John Robinson, Rochean playing second fiddle, even third fiddle 131 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,240 to both Cleveland Herbert and Deontay Foreman in twenty twenty three as a rookie. 132 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,799 To this point for the year, his output stands at forty four rushes for 133 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,200 about ninety seven one touchdown, four and a half yards per totes, and 134 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,840 then nineteen grabs ninety one yards on twenty three targets, which are below expectations. 135 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,519 Since many assumed that Rochan could push for everyone duties right out of camp 136 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,360 preseason week one in Chicago, that has not been the case. He has 137 00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:03,639 ideal size six feet two twenty five coupled with fluid rushing ability, pass projecting 138 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,399 chops that should keep on the field eventually and reliable hands. Underrated at that 139 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,639 as a receiver, it's only a matter of time until Johnson is featured or 140 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,000 earns a bit more work for the Bears. Where at that time comes this 141 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,360 season in the future, that's up for debates. Since Foreman has been performing 142 00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,240 at a high level in Herbert's absence. Herbert returned this past weekend, have 143 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,799 plenty of volume. He's the assume starter when active and healthy. It does 144 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,399 not help matters either that Chicago is one of the worst teams in all football 145 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,759 for game flow or efficiency purposes. Until we see an increase in snaps or 146 00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:37,120 total touches. Rochans should be on fantasy benches outside of the deepest of leagues. 147 00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,279 I wouldn't be surprised on the flip side if the Bears decide to ramp 148 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,720 up Roashwan's workload a bit after the week thirteen by as most coaches teams tend 149 00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:48,440 to do with rookies brought along slowly out of the bye week. Suddenly here's 150 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,879 your opportunity to prove your worth. The issue with the running back of Roshan's 151 00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:56,200 caliber is he's a fourth round pick, so it doesn't have that Day one 152 00:09:56,519 --> 00:10:00,759 or early Day two draft capital that would virtually guarantee him a roll right out 153 00:10:00,759 --> 00:10:05,159 of the gate. He's on the RB four RB five radar if not offering 154 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,240 some flex appeal or upside at some stage of the season. There's hope that 155 00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:11,600 a sophomore leap is in the cards for next year, since Khleil Herbert is 156 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,039 a free agent in twenty twenty five. But Deontay Foreman hits you of market 157 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,600 in twenty twenty four, and I'm surprised the Bears and not recuperate some draft 158 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:24,039 capital and cash out on Foreman at the NFL's deadline, because there's no need 159 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,799 for him on a team that's essentially tanking for a top five pick in twenty 160 00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:31,000 twenty four. Right now, I would be going to offer a twenty twenty 161 00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:35,399 four third Rookey draft pick. From a don's perspective for ro Sean hoping on 162 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,480 future dividends, you're not baking out into twenty twenty three. But the talent 163 00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:41,600 does remind me of a more agile AJ Dillon in terms of the size, 164 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,919 speed, profile, leticism, things of that nature. Time for a quick 165 00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:50,240 break. I'll be back with two more rookie wall or bust players on this 166 00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:52,639 week's show before I do that quicker minder. If you want to get that 167 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,080 one on one time with me over at Google meet Roster Call, offer those 168 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,039 in two time sessions.

Once again, this for a thirty minute, one hour 175 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,600 aster call which I hold on Google meet time for that quick break. Be 176 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:33,559 right back, rookie Waller bust might go. Mayer twenty two years old. 177 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,720 Check around selection out Notre Dame who pre drafts you as arguably the most complete 178 00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:41,440 tight end prospect in the twenty twenty class, despite Delta kin kid superior route 179 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,679 running, receiving traits, even Sam laport in that mix right now, in 180 00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:48,840 terms of pure value, we'd rank those in your consensus Kincaid, Laporta or 181 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,080 flip flop those two. But the third option would be Michael Mayer. If 182 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,519 you question ten people, I'm sure nine out of ten would say so. 183 00:11:56,279 --> 00:11:58,360 Don't think that's a mistake. But I also think that Mayor has the same 184 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,519 skill set or ceiling asking Kaid and LAPORTA long term. Yes, he was 185 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,639 quiet from Hes one to five with Amy r three catches to show for until 186 00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:09,679 his Week six outburst or mini breakout five catches seventy five yards on six targets 187 00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:13,120 versus New England. Since then, Michael Mayer scored his first touchdown in Week 188 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,159 ten, but otherwise it has been kept at bay In terms of emerging and 189 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,759 what's becoming a vanilla offense led by Adan O'Connell for the Las Vegas Raiders, 190 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,200 what I find most discouraging is that Mayor hasn't caught more than five passes in 191 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,799 a single game. Despite the Raiders lack of playmakers outside of Devonte Adams, 192 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,639 Josh Shakeups or even Jacobe Myers. I am still all in on Mayor becoming 193 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,279 a fixture at tight end for the Las Vegas Raiders. As a franchise, 194 00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:39,440 they building block for the team. As we all know, tight end production 195 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:45,039 or development isn't linear, so what Kinkaid does doesn't mean that Laporta will do 196 00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:48,440 or even Mayor. It takes time to acclimate to the pro level, so 197 00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:52,960 patients is required. Even if the lack of involvement is frustrating despite clear glimpses 198 00:12:52,159 --> 00:12:56,799 of top tier skills being out displayed when targeted, the issue at hand is 199 00:12:56,799 --> 00:13:00,000 that Mayor's snap rate more to come on that soon is not aligning with his 200 00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:01,759 on field production or box scores. As a result, more of a tight 201 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,559 end two for twenty twenty three could stream based on matchup rest of the way. 202 00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:07,919 Undoubtedly, though, could become a popular breakout candidate as a sophomore, 203 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,120 assuming the Raiders address quarterback over the offseason via fregency or the draft. So 204 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,120 if you don't want to spend a premium on King cad To Laporta or a 205 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,480 Travis Kelsey, Mark Andrews, Hockinson, Pitts Goddard, anyone in that upper 206 00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:24,559 tier range, then pivot to Mayor. Pay what was usually a second round 207 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:30,000 pick in any format and target him now for a late second or maybe two 208 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,639 thirds gets it done. There are people panicking who have roster Michael Mayer and 209 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,840 spent a late first, early midsecond on him. Trust me, it happens 210 00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:39,519 every year at oppositions, and I am sure that people are on the wrong 211 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,440 side of that equation thinking that Mayor is a bust. He's simply not. 212 00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:46,879 Snap rights indicates becoming a full time player for the Raiders offense. Since we 213 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,360 eight of ninety one percent, eighty eight percent, eighty eight percent and eighty 214 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,840 percent more often talent win's out and trusting the process in terms of draft capital, 215 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,519 college production or pedigree means a lot. And I'm only to bank that 216 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,159 mayor will pan out and so may shape or form. The usage is simply 217 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,559 not on par with Kinkaid or the Porter for comparison's sake, going apples to 218 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,720 apples for rookie prospects in twenty twenty three. Last, but not least, 219 00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:13,600 how about Kendre Miller. He's only twenty one third rounder out of TCU youth 220 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,639 immediately stands out jumps off the page when discussing Miller as he could be in 221 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,279 line for opportunities and as soon as twenty twenty four or not far after. 222 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:24,240 As Alvial Kamara and Jamal Williams age on with their contracts, they're both UFAs 223 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,840 and twenty twenty six. That means unrestrict the free agents, but both have 224 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,639 outs or possible outs in their contracts. Beforehand, Expecting ken Dre to contribute 225 00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:35,799 much as a rookie was far fetched. Outside of when Kamara was suspended. 226 00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:39,440 Miller did not debut himself because of injuries until week three, and as filled 227 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,799 they changed a pace roll with stat lines of twenty eight carries for eighty three 228 00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:45,720 yards only three yards per carry, and nine catches for one hundred and eleven 229 00:14:45,799 --> 00:14:48,840 yards on ten targets prior to start of this upcoming Week twelve with a total 230 00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:52,080 three miss contest due to injury and now out of the Week eleven by There's 231 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,799 a chance that Miller's healed up could see additional reps as regular season unfolds. 232 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,080 That versatility and explosiveness as a rusher that we saw a TCU and really made 233 00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:03,720 him a prominent prospect have not disappeared. It's a matter of being available on 234 00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:09,600 the field, and I think the way in for Miller from our perspective, 235 00:15:09,639 --> 00:15:13,360 to carve out works value is usurping Jamal Williams. Williams has been ineffective in 236 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,240 twenty twenty three with two point nine yards for clip on forty five carries, 237 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,759 compared to his dominant twenty twenty two season with the Lions, where he went 238 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,879 off for a two sixty two ten sixty six seventeen rushing effort that jow Williams 239 00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:28,039 seems to have come and gone, or at least a situation of how he 240 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,519 was utilizing Detroit compared New Orleans is night and day different. Once again, 241 00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:35,600 though Hendre Miller was and still is a bet on future dividends as Kamara is 242 00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:39,879 eventually going to be scaled back or phased out like most A twenty eight running 243 00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:41,799 backs. The key is to invest in Miller before that time comes. You 244 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,840 could benefit from his obvious potential a feature running back in the NFL. I'm 245 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,799 not promising he's going to main healthy because even at TCU he missed a lot 246 00:15:48,799 --> 00:15:52,720 of pre draft events due to his meniscus or knee injury. So dating back 247 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,559 to the college levels, even in those concerns, and that's my main issue 248 00:15:56,559 --> 00:15:58,519 with Miller is the lack of their ability, which keeps his doney stock in 249 00:15:58,559 --> 00:16:02,919 my opinion. In more, in the second round rookie draft pick range's opposed 250 00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:07,120 to a first rounder, and given how loaded the twenty twenty four crop is, 251 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,360 we're talking one quarterback. I'd say Kendry Miller mid second, late second 252 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,440 in a best case scenario in terms of requiring him, but in super flex, 253 00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:17,600 I would not be shocked if you send out a twenty four to third 254 00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:21,120 for Miller. Someone took that pick because they think Miller's quote unquote a bust 255 00:16:21,159 --> 00:16:23,360 because of his discourage. You start as a rookie, it takes time. 256 00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:26,480 And I want to stress this, emphasize it, and make it crystal clear 257 00:16:26,879 --> 00:16:30,879 that not all prospect development is linear. There are so many different ways that 258 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,200 a quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tenant can emerge. So yes, 259 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,360 all five names I discussed have all hit the rookie walls at some point 260 00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:40,919 in twenty twenty three. Do I think they're bust? No? Are there 261 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,399 some trending in a bus direction. Could be, but it's far too small 262 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,600 of a sample size. Or use six thermometer to freak out, panic and 263 00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:52,600 sell for pennies and a dollar. That's not where we're at as a sophomore. 264 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,720 If the struggs continue, then there's a conversation to be had. Hope 265 00:16:55,759 --> 00:16:59,200 you all enjoyed this week's episode, a quick recap of the five rookie wall 266 00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:03,279 or a bust player I described, Bryce Young, Zay Flowers, Roshawn Johnson, 267 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,519 Michael Mayer, and KeAndre Miller.
