Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty
Dude Podcast. I'm your host, Corey

2
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,719
Evans. Thank you for listening to
this week's show. This episode is title

3
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:32,759
ten Pre Draft Rookie Storylines. So
we're now post NFL combine. We have

4
00:00:32,799 --> 00:00:36,960
a lot of measurables and metrics from
an analytics point of view to not couple

5
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,679
with all of these prospects and their
college film the production. So I've constructed

6
00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:47,079
ten storylines or opinions about prospects and
what I think we're gonna have to pay

7
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,679
close attention to as we approach the
end of April and the NFL Draft itself.

8
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:55,159
Before I get to that, shout
out to j MMR seven for leaving

9
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,600
a five star written review on Apple
Podcasts. It is titled great Podcast,

10
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:03,399
Great Roster Call Stuff. The podcast
is great to the point he does his

11
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:06,359
research and covers a variety of topics. I just did a roster call with

12
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:08,400
Corey, and I strongly recommend it. Mine was thirty minutes, but I

13
00:01:08,439 --> 00:01:11,799
wish I would have opted for sixty. His insight was helpful and answered all

14
00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:15,040
my questions. Well. Something I
really respect is that he is honest and

15
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:19,959
stands by his convictions. Some fantasy
analysts throw every take at the wall or

16
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,959
hexe their bets. I appreciate that
Corey knows his stuff and has confidence in

17
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,200
his work. Wow, thank you
so much. Based on your Apple podcast

18
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,680
use name, I'm thinking that was
Jim, So Jim. Appreciate the investment

19
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,319
in a roster call for thirty minutes. I'm glad you enjoyed it and found

20
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:37,239
a beneficial and the positive feedback along
the testimonial to give the confidence in other

21
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,959
listeners to schedule a roster call means
a lot. Speaking of they'll forget My

22
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,840
March promotion is seventeen percent off all
roster calls to celebrate Saint Package to Day

23
00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:49,760
this month. So that's thirty bucks, thirty minutes, fifty hours, one

24
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:53,319
hour. You sliced those seventeen percent
off. If interested, hit me up

28
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,639
seventeen percent off. All right,
no specific order, hear, but ten

29
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,000
pre draft rookie storylines as we head
into the new league year, the legal

30
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:20,520
tampering period begins I believe Wednesday of
this week, that's the thirteenth of March.

31
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,719
We know that some free agents in
the NFL are going to sign beforehand.

32
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:29,159
We'll hear those transactions or contracts prickle
through throughout the week. But once

33
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:32,400
we have free agency in the rearview
mirror, it then opens up the landscape

34
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,000
to see where rookies could land opt
them landing spot. So a great time

35
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:40,719
of the season to pitpoint NFL team
needs in order for us to hope or

36
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,639
project prospects to land. So Number
one is that JJ McCarthy is now in

37
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,240
the quarterback two to quarterback four mix
behind Caleb Williams. I think we can

38
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,439
all pretty much agree that Caleb Williams
should be the one point oh one overall

39
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,240
in real life as well as super
Fox drafts. McCarthy weighed in at six

40
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,360
two two nineteen to the combine.
That's roughly ten pounds more then expected based

41
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,120
on his college listing at Michigan six
point eight two second three Coln Durrial.

42
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:08,439
That was first among quarterbacks, a
testament to his short area quickness, lateral

43
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:12,879
agility to move, and the pocket
left the right or even scramble with his

44
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,759
legs. He just turned twenty one
this passed January, so he's young,

45
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:20,680
might not be ready to lead an
NFL franchise were out of the gate.

46
00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:24,319
Even so, hearing a lot of
chatter since the combine that McCarthy could easily

47
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,120
be a top ten, if not
twelve pick. A team could throw him

48
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,439
in the fire hope for the best
as he develops. Past season at Michigan

49
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:35,120
in twenty twenty three two thousand,
nine ninety one yards passing, twenty two

50
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,280
touchdowns, four interceptions, seventy two
point three completion percentage rate, nine yards

51
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,439
past attempt, and sixty four two
two and three on the ground. The

52
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,400
case for JJ McCarthy as quarterback two
to quarterback four in this class that puts

53
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:52,039
him in a conversation of Jaden Daniels
or Drake May behind Kiel Williams is that

54
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:55,759
McCarthy is built for today's NFL,
A pocket passer with top tier accuracy,

55
00:03:55,879 --> 00:04:00,360
mobility to extend plays with his legs
when needed. He's a proven leader who

56
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,120
was limited statistically because of Michigan's run
focused offense under Jim Harbaugh. Now,

57
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:09,960
the case against is that JJB performed
as more of a game manager at the

58
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,879
college level, so assuming he could
become a volume passer and sustain his level

59
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:16,319
efficiency at the pro level is an
uncertainty. It's not a guarantee. He

60
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,920
struggles with arm strength to the intermediate
and deep levels of the field. So

61
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,600
his accuracy was seventy two point three
percent at nine yards past attempt, which

62
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:29,319
is actually really good at Michigan,
but a lot of it was short intermediate,

63
00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:30,800
not taking those deep shots to the
next level, which he's going to

64
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,000
have to be able to do hit
all three levels in an NFL scheme.

65
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:40,199
So therefore JJ McCarthy quarterback two,
quarterback four, somewhere in between Caleb Williams,

66
00:04:40,399 --> 00:04:43,439
Jade Daniels, and Drake May.
It's going to be a fascinating situation

67
00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:48,079
to watch unfold in this April's draft
and are corresponding Dynasa rookie drafts to follow

68
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:51,759
in both one quarterback and super flex
leagues. If JJ McCarthy is quarterback two,

69
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,399
quarterback three, or even quarterback four, which seems like a lock at

70
00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:58,399
this point, and his rookie ADP
is going to hover, if not stand

71
00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:00,879
firm in the first round mid to
lights of twelve teen leagues for super fux

72
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,480
in one quarterback league's probably end up
somewhere in the second. Number two is

73
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:09,519
that Trey Benson is in the RB
one conversation among his twenty twenty four peers,

74
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,040
six feet two sixteen from his combine
check in, he ran a four

75
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:15,319
point three nine forty yard dash third
among running backs, one point five to

76
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,600
two second ten yards splits fourth among
running backs, thirty three and a half

77
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,480
is vertical, and a ten foot
two inch broad All in all, great

78
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:26,839
numbers for Benson athletically, twenty two
in July, so he's only twenty one

79
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,879
right now. One fifty six,
nine oh five fourteen in the ground,

80
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,639
five pointy yards per clip, and
twenty for two twenty seven and one as

81
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,639
receiver in twenty twenty three with Florida
States. On tape, you'll find Benson

82
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:41,040
being a violent rusher in terms of
cutbacks tackle breaking ability. The red flag

83
00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:45,800
on his resume is injury history,
and it's the main concern with Trey's outlook

84
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,879
in the NFL. He tours ACL
MCL, LCL, hamstring and meniscus in

85
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:55,360
a practice session thuring December twenty twenty
while at Oregon before transferring two Florida states.

86
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,439
The town is undeniable. He could
be a featured three down weapon at

87
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:00,600
the pro level if he'ar ins de
two capitals, especially second third round,

88
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:04,839
would be substantial for his fantasy outlook. You hope he lands in situation where

89
00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:08,360
could be at least a one A
to one B committee member, if not

90
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,600
sees the opportunity to take over the
reins of a running back room. Number

91
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,959
three is that Marshawn Lloyd is making
a strong case for being a top five

92
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,800
rookie running back. He's five nine, two twenty so a good build,

93
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:23,680
fairly similar to Trey Benson. Actually, Lloyd himself ran a four point four

94
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,800
to six forty that was six among
running backs. One point five six second

95
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,639
ten yard splits thirty six inch vertical
on a nine foot ten in is broad

96
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,360
athletically speaking, not as impressive as
Trey Benson, yet not far off either.

97
00:06:34,399 --> 00:06:39,160
They're both size speed freaks. Marshawn
Lloyd he turned twenty three to pass

98
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,480
January, so not all that young
for running back prospect to be twenty four.

99
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,079
Next offseason, he went one,
sixteen, eight, twenty and nine

100
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,839
on the ground for seven point one
yards per clip. Then thirteen for two

101
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:53,480
thirty two as a receiver in twenty
twenty three with USC. He previously spent

102
00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:56,199
twenty twenty one twenty twenty two with
South Carolina, who was a two year

103
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,279
transfer. Lloyd is a decisive runner
with a depth field vision, and his

104
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,199
tape speaks volumes to how talented could
be as a versaal weapon. His SI

105
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:09,519
speed combination is very intriguing and it's
evident on film from a burst perspective.

106
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:13,560
I don't currently have Marshawn Lloyd in
my top five Amongo they running backs in

107
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,319
my pre draft rankings, which can
be found on Patreon soon. Yet he's

108
00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:19,920
right on that cusp. So if
draft capital in the NFL and the cats

109
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,959
that teams perceive him as an impact
contributor, then I might have to readjust

110
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,600
I just don't know if he has
the upside of four to five other prospects

111
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:34,360
at running back in this year's crop. Marshawn Lloyd has electric bounce in his

112
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,079
step on cutbacks that stands out,
and there's big play ability written all over

113
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,040
him. It's from a consistency standpoint
where I see different plays where I'm not

114
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,040
one hundred percent sold on him.
Nonetheless, he undoubtedly improved the stock in

115
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,000
Indianapolis at the combine. Number four
is that Blake Korum solidified its Michigan resume.

116
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,000
In other words, he is who
we thought he was. Five eight

117
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,680
two oh five, not the largest
frame, good enough four point five three

118
00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:01,160
forty one point five tike at ten
yard split was actually for second worst my

119
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,439
running backs. So the straight line
speed the initial burst isn't all that great.

120
00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:07,639
Thirty five and a half inch vertical
six point eight two second three cone

121
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,040
drill second one running backs overall,
and that's where Blake Koram really put an

122
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,040
exclation point. Honest combat performance doesn't
have the best immediate speed, but the

123
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,519
shiftiness, a loosiveness in and out
of breaks, as well as the short

124
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:24,160
area quickness is where Blake Koram is
going to eat up defenses in the NFL.

125
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,839
He also had twenty seven bench press
reps that tied Joe alt Is one

126
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:31,319
of the best offensive linement prospects in
this year's class on Notre Dame. Just

127
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,320
goes to show that Korm is a
very strong running back, a Jim Ratt,

128
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:37,399
like an Austin Eckler or a Nick
Chubb, if you will for comparison's

129
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:39,720
sake, and those twenty seven bench
press reps were first my running backs at

130
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,440
the combine. Korm's overall meticism is
average at best. You can see that

131
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,399
from his measurables and testing performance.
However, his elite three cone drill score

132
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:54,200
confirms the change of direction skills and
latter quickness routinely displayed on his Michigan tape.

133
00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:56,120
He'll be twenty four in November,
and quite honestly, if it weren't

134
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,840
for the age, I probably had
Blake Korm at RB one, RB two

135
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,240
in this year's class. But being
twenty three soon to be twenty four November,

136
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,759
he cuts a little bit of shelf
life longevity off of his career arc

137
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,039
production wise stellar twenty twenty three Michigan
two eight twelve, forty five, twenty

138
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,159
seven rushing touchdowns, four pointy earth
per carry and then sixteen for one,

139
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,080
seventeen and one As a receiver.
He's a volume driven running back redown skill

140
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:24,320
set. If he earns second to
third round draft capital, even reunites somehow

141
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,000
Jim harbaut In La of the Chargers, then his Dynasty stock is going to

142
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,519
soar. So at this point,
Korm escaped the combine with pretty much the

143
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:37,159
same expectations as when he entered it. He solidified his resume and is what

144
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,000
we thought he was from a box
score and tape perspective. When you line

145
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:46,039
up number for number forty ten yard
split vertical three cone drill, which stood

146
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:48,480
out in the best way, and
then the bench press, the showcase is

147
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:54,759
strength Number five is that Bucky Irvin's
athletic profile disappointed five to nine one ninety

148
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:58,440
two, which is rather small to
begin with. In a best case scenario,

149
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,480
Bucky was going to turn into a
form of Devon eight chan in terms

150
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:07,639
of being lightning in a bottle with
sporadic volume. The measurables and the testing

151
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,840
is where things went south for him. Four point five five forty one point

152
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:16,320
five four second ten yards split twenty
nine a Hals vertical WHI showcases explosiveness worse

153
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,000
of my running backs than a nine
foot seven inch broad second worstro running backs.

154
00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:24,120
So that is alarming when on film
urgulan to have top bend if not

155
00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:28,440
close to that speed. Yet a
four point five to five forty yet five

156
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,360
to nine about ninety two is not
going to turn any head. So this

157
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:37,879
is an indication that Irving benefited from
Oregon scheme and doesn't have the next level

158
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,799
explosion required to thrive the next level
like a Devon h Chan with a smaller

159
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,799
body stature. Doesn't mean we have
to ride off Buckey Irving. It's just

160
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:48,960
I'm lowering him in my ranks and
perceived Fantasy football valley because of his testing

161
00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:52,440
numbers. He's twenty one twenty two
in August, still very young. One

162
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,279
to eighty six eleven eighty eleven for
six point three yards per totes and fifty

163
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,919
six four to thirteen to to a
is a receiver last year with Oregon.

164
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,879
At this juncture, I feel like
Irving's receiving outlook is his best path forward

165
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,919
in terms of transferable skills to the
pro level. The fifty six catches last

166
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:15,360
season is very encouraging. However,
Irving is a tough assessment because his game

167
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:18,840
film gives off Devon eight Chan vibes
at times. As I mentioned. While

168
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:22,720
the athletic profile mirrors or replacement level
running back prospect or change of pace committee

169
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:28,840
running back, perhaps even satellite weapon
on third downs, overall NFL draft capital

170
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,120
and nanting spot will be crucial for
Bucky after a lacklusser showing in Indianapolis at

171
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,879
the Combine. He is a post
combined loser, which is rather unfortunate because

172
00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:41,559
Bucky Irving pre Combine was someone that
a lot of analysts are really high on

173
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,879
and we have to reevaluate. Not
saying that his testing numbers are the end

174
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:50,279
all be all, yet they are
certainly part of the prospect evaluation puzzle and

175
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,200
the athleticism is not what we thought
it was for Bucky. Time for a

176
00:11:54,279 --> 00:11:58,360
quick break and I'll be back with
five more storylines for us to keep an

177
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,559
eye on or monitor heading to the
NFL Draft at the end of April.

178
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,600
Before I get to that, don't
forget one stop shop. Four bonus episode

183
00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:24,120
There's a link also in the episode
notes that I'll join Patreon head of the

184
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,320
website download bi ble app. You'll
find me as Corey. You have as

185
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:31,519
a dynasty, dude. The pre
draft rankings are starting up this week.

186
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,200
I'll be doing quarterbacks and then running
backs, wide receivers, tight end,

187
00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:39,200
and at top fifty. Overall their
in tiered form as well as spoken audio

188
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:41,720
form. I used to publish them
with Excel spreadsheets. This year, I'm

189
00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:46,919
going to alter course and do them
with Google sheets because I can update them

190
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,480
more frequently. That's one of the
more requested pieces of feedback I get on

191
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,600
Patreon is how can I see when
you made up this year rankings? Well,

192
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:56,879
now you can, because I'm going
to update them routinely behind the scenes,

193
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,000
and when you click on a link, you'll see my most recent set

194
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,440
rankings. And this will be for
both my rookies, veterans rookies combined in

195
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,519
the season. Pretty Much all the
above is now going to be with Google

196
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,039
sheets. I mean it's just a
better FORMATS utilize. So you're getting the

197
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,480
most up to date in recent version
of my rankings. So that's all on

198
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:16,480
Patreon for this week, though.
Pre Draft twenty twenty four heat quarterback rankings

199
00:13:16,519 --> 00:13:20,679
will be published on Tuesday time for
that quick break and I'll be right back.

200
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,639
Number six is that Braylon Allen might
not be as athletic as advertised.

201
00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:31,080
Six' one two thirty five still
a very large frame for running back,

202
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,200
thirty two inch vertical third worst among
running backs, not great nine foot nine

203
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,840
ers broad jump and then twenty six
bench press reps was second among running backs

204
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,519
behind only like Korum, Meaning we
have to wait for Wisconsin's pro day for

205
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,000
Allen's forty times, which is whatever
he wanted to see with that six'

206
00:13:45,039 --> 00:13:48,159
one two thirty five body frame.
The positive spin is that Braylon Allen just

207
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,080
turned twenty years old in January,
so he was nineteen, still a teenager,

208
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,679
incredibly young for a prospect any position
entering the NFL. For production with

209
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,200
Wisconsin last year one eighty one ninety
four and twelve five point four exper clipped

210
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,120
in twenty eight for about thirty one
as a receiver, went to more of

211
00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:09,320
a pro scheme offense, and he
benefited from ample volume out of the backfield

212
00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:15,279
catching passes. Is Allen a natural
pass catcher like Jonathan Brooks, Trey Benson,

213
00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:20,399
or even Jalen Wright. No,
but there is clear versatility in Allen's

214
00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:26,200
repertoire that should not be ignored.
He might be more aj Dillon or Michael

215
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,240
Bush for a throwback comp than Jonathan
Taylor Dereck Henry in terms of NFL seiling

216
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:33,120
a player comparison. Nonetheless, I'm
still a huge fan of what Braylin put

217
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,679
on tape out of Wisconsin as a
bruiser with underappreciated receiving chops. It's not

218
00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:43,000
out of the question he still ends
up being RB one post NFL Draft four

219
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:46,879
twenty twenty four rookie drafts, but
it's less certain post Combine than it was

220
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,879
pre Combine. Whenever running back does
not run the forty, it's more of

221
00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:54,840
a question why not when all eyes
are on you. Wisconsin's Pro Day will

222
00:14:54,879 --> 00:15:00,080
be huge. It's just not as
trusted as when the entire league is watching,

223
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,480
monitoring under pressure all in, although
this could be a solid window to

224
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:09,080
capitalize on in early to mid second
in super flex leagues or a late first

225
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:13,320
to early second and one quarterback leagues
to potentially stash four bailing al in a

226
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,720
matter of months, assuming he gets
at least Day two draft capitol. In

227
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,840
real life. Number seven is that
Brian Thomas Junior is the makeup of an

228
00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:22,759
NFL wide receiver one sixty three to
two oh nine. He's been the talk

229
00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:28,360
of the town for a while now, behind elite neighbors out LSU four point

230
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,600
three three forty second among wideouts one
point five second ten yards split third among

231
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:35,519
wideouts thirty eight and half xs vertical
in a ten foot six inst broad jump.

232
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,480
Brian Thomas Junior is gifted. He's
a freak athlete. He'll be twenty

233
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:43,320
two in October, still only twenty
one come draft day production of sixty eight

234
00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:46,759
eleven, seventy seven and seventeen for
seventeen point three yards per grab last season.

235
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,120
As the one B to mileak neighbors, being one A for LSU and

236
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:56,200
Jaden Daniels, Thomas Junior is arguably
the best deep threat among twenty twenty four

237
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,759
key wide receivers. He's not as
complete of a talent in terms of rope

238
00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:03,000
run or finesse as his peer neighbors. However, Thomas Junior is steadily climbing

239
00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:07,600
in value as the perceived rookie WHI
actually for four behind Marvin Harris, A

240
00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:11,840
Junior, Melik Neighbors and Roma Dunze. For Donaszie purposes, if you have

241
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,159
pick one point oh seven one point
eight, you're gonna miss out on the

242
00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:22,519
top quarterbacks Marvin Herris Junior, neighbors
Odoonzay and probably Brock Bauers, which leaves

243
00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:23,960
you with someone like Brian Thomas Junior, which I think is a big win

244
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,879
on paper, great value mid first
in a super flex format. Number eight

245
00:16:29,919 --> 00:16:33,120
is that Troy Franklin is becoming a
boomer Bus prospect. As you all,

246
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:36,360
though you follow my work this offseason, I've been more out than in on

247
00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:40,240
Franklin six two one seventy six.
The hike's not an issue, it's the

248
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,120
weight. And then the test team
was downright awful compared to what everyone was

249
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:47,919
touting. Franklin the beat four point
four and forty not bad, but everyone

250
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,039
said he had blazing speed, which
shows on film, but not with the

251
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,000
forty yard dash. To be fair, i'm't even that worried about the forty.

252
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,080
It's the worst among wide receivers.
Ten yards split for Troy Franklin one

253
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,960
point sixty one second. That has
my attention in a bad way. That

254
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,920
means that off the line of scrimmage
you're already smaller one to seventy six and

255
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,799
weights. Imagine pressman coverage lacking the
ten yard split speed to beat them.

256
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:18,000
So not only get facing faster,
stronger, more physical dbs, but your

257
00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:21,000
speed isn't as good as advertised.
Thirty nine ers vertical and then a ten

258
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:25,119
foot for inch broad six point nine
against three cone drill. The forty vert

259
00:17:25,519 --> 00:17:30,200
broad and three cone are fine,
not maybe what was expected. It's that

260
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:33,240
ten yard split that stands out in
a negative way. I've been labeling Troy

261
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,920
Franklin as a Boomerbus prospect for months, and I think it's even more true

262
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,640
now because of speed was truly supposed
to be his calling card he didn't show

263
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,599
at the combine. It now means
that he either a plays faster a pads

264
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:51,200
on or the scheme with Oregon just
adhere to his skill set. And there

265
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,599
was a lot of lapsed or broken
coverage from an age perspective. He just

266
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,440
turned twenty one last month in February, so very young. Production was really

267
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,720
notable eighty one, thirteen, eighty
three, and fourteen for seventeen point win

268
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:06,880
ards per ketch. Last season checks
a lot of boxes, none of which

269
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,599
are enough in my mind, though
surpassed Harrison Junior, Neighbors Odoonsea or even

270
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,680
now Brian Thomas Junior. Franklin being
a top five wide receiver as most rookie

271
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,119
ADP indicated pre combine seems to be
a thing in the past. He is

272
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,559
still possibly a top ten wide out, if not top fifteen for sure.

273
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,720
I'm just not sold that is a
bulletproof prospect at wide receiver for this year's

274
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,440
class. Number nine is that bub
Means is emerging as a sleeper wideout six

275
00:18:32,599 --> 00:18:36,160
one two, twelve, four point
four to three, forty one point five

276
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,680
five second, ten yards split thirty
nine a half inch vertical in a ten

277
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,240
foot two inc broad He tested solid
across the board, not spectacular, no

278
00:18:41,319 --> 00:18:45,920
standout traits, but managed to perform
well and looks smooth in receiving drills during

279
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:51,039
the combine. He just turned twenty
three in January. He went forty one

280
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,839
seven to twenty one and six for
seventeen point six yards per ketch with Pittsburgh

281
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,480
last season. I think Bob Means
is going to surprise us with Day two

282
00:18:57,559 --> 00:19:00,400
draft capital, be a steal for
a team on Day three and could fill

283
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:06,559
an ancillary or red zone wires three
roll for a team. Perimeter wide out,

284
00:19:06,599 --> 00:19:11,240
good size, speed, tested well
the combine better than most people are

285
00:19:11,279 --> 00:19:14,799
anticipating. That's once again bubb means
out of Pittsburgh, and the number ten

286
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,240
is a storyline that does not discuss
one singular prospect. It's that in my

287
00:19:19,319 --> 00:19:22,759
opinion, we should be stockpining as
many twenty twenty four second round here draft

288
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:27,759
picks as possible right now between NFL
fregency and the draft, especially in superflex.

289
00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:32,519
Names in the two point oh one
to two point twelve super Flex mix

290
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,240
based on early ADP data includes Jonathan
Brooks, added I Mitchell, Xavier Worthy,

291
00:19:37,279 --> 00:19:40,960
Trey Benson, Lamacacky, Keyank Coleman, Blake Corham, Jalen Wright,

292
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:44,119
brayln Allen, Michael Pennix, Junior
bo Nix, Marshawn, Lloyd, Roman

293
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,440
Wilson, Bucky Irving, to Tavion
Sanders, is Abely get, Ricky Piersall,

294
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:51,400
Jalen Polk or even audrec estimate.
Of course, that's a lot more

295
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,039
than twelve names, so we're into
the third round. Goes to show the

296
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,039
depth that this class is going to
offer us and the value we're going to

297
00:19:57,079 --> 00:20:00,960
see second to third round in super
flex this year. In one quarterback,

298
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,079
it's not as deep because quarterbacks will
inevibly fall in that format. Compared to

299
00:20:06,079 --> 00:20:08,240
super flex. You get the point, though, first round picks will be

300
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,400
treated as golden dynasty for twenty twenty
four from here on out to the draft

301
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,559
complete itself, and eventually we enter
our personal rookie drafts. As such,

302
00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:19,480
it won't be cost effective to trade
into the first round from this point forward.

303
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:25,559
Instead, don't spend that premium.
Focus on the second third rounders,

304
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:30,720
specifically the second rounders and super flex
as solid alternatives to exposure of rookie shares

305
00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:33,000
for this year. The best part
is that there's a chance that second rounds

306
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,519
become even more valuable if another rookie
quarterback or two like bo Nix, Michael

307
00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:41,960
Pennis Junior or Spencer rather enter the
first round of rookie adp by the time

308
00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:45,720
late April or the mayberls around.
Because it's going to then inevitably about running

309
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:51,000
backs wide receivers tight ends to fall
even further, so stockpiles many twenty twenty

310
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,680
four six rounders. As you can
right now, don't pay that first round

311
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,759
premium unless you're really sold on a
prospect that will do it. A quick

312
00:20:56,839 --> 00:21:02,799
recap of my ten pre draft rookie
storylines we should be monitoring very closely between

313
00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:07,599
now NFL free asy as well as
the NFL draft itself. Number one Jj

314
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,079
McCarthy is now in the quarterback two
to quarterback four mix behind Caleb Williams.

315
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:15,079
Number two Trey Benson is an RB
one conversation among his twenty twenty four peers.

316
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,720
Number three Markshawn Lloyd is making a
shrawn case for being a top five

317
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:22,640
Rookey running back. Number four Blake
Korp solidified as Michigan resume. Number five

318
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,559
Bucky Irvin's profile disappointed. Number six
Braylan Allen might not be as athletic as

319
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,759
advertised. Number seven Brian Thomas Junior
as the makeup of an NFL wide receiver

320
00:21:32,839 --> 00:21:36,680
one. Number eight Troy Franklin's becoming
a boomer Bus prospect. Number nine Bob

321
00:21:36,759 --> 00:21:40,920
Means is emerging as a sleeper wide
receiver and number ten stockpile as many twenty

322
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,920
twenty four second round draft picks as
possible, especially in Superflex. Thank you
