Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty
Do podcast. I'm your host Krey Evans.

2
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,640
Thank you for listening to this week's
episode. I'm discussing ideal twenty twenty

3
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,520
four rookie landing spots. So the
premise here is we're post combine, still

4
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,840
pre draft. It's a matter of
a month now until we see where these

5
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,359
prospects in twenty twenty four end up
on actual NFL squads. So at this

6
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:45,399
point in time, we know what
rookies we like in terms of skill set,

7
00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:50,240
production, testing, measurables, et
cetera. But more importantly, landing

8
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:57,000
spots make or contain a big piece
of the evaluation puzzle. So this exercise

9
00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:02,600
intended to identify which NFL team have
a need at quarterback, running back,

10
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,239
wide receiver, tight end most and
for us to identify those weaknesses or opportunities

11
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:11,120
from a fantasy perspective, where if
those skills as your players are drafted to

12
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:18,519
those slots or depth chart openings,
that suddenly might prioritize said prospects post NFL

13
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,680
draft. I have a handful of
team to discuss before I get to that.

24
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:04,280
I did not include the Chicago Bears
in this conversation since it's safe to

25
00:02:04,319 --> 00:02:07,400
assume after trading just fields that the
team will address quarterback at pick one point

26
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,479
oh one with Caleb Williams or even
the Washington Commanders at pick one point zero

27
00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:15,599
two, since Jayden Daniels, Drake
may or JJ McCarthy are strong candidates be

28
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:20,240
drafted in those respective slots. So
here we go. Up first, I

29
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,680
have the Arizona Cardinals wide receivers of
pressing need and for the context of this

30
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:28,479
episode, I'm looking at top one
hundred picks, so most likely first,

31
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,479
second, or third round. There
could be some competitory picks included as well.

32
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,520
Just keep in mind that these are
mostly top three round picks or Day

33
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:38,680
one, Day two selections, and
for a time stamp, this episode's being

34
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,599
recorded on Friday, March twenty ninth, So if any big trades take place

35
00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:46,360
with the draft capital I'm discussing,
you'll know why to not bring it up.

36
00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:50,719
All right, So, the Arizona
Cardinals indeed do need a wide receiver

37
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:53,240
upgrade. They have pick one point
oh four one point two seven from Houston,

38
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:58,039
two point three five, three point
six six, three point seven to

39
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,560
one from Tennessee, and three point
nine nine zero from Houston, So a

40
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:06,360
lot of top one hundred picks to
solve the wide receiver conundrum. Currently on

41
00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:08,879
the depth chart you have Michael Wilson
and Greg Dortsch. Wilson is twenty four,

42
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,599
a third round pick out of Stanford
last year, where he output a

43
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:15,879
thirty eight five to five and three
for fourteen point nine yards per catch on

44
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,400
fifty eight targets in thirteen games play. He has good size at six two

45
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:23,400
to thirteen, he's not a franchise
caliber wide receiver one, a good two

46
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,560
or three rotational piece, not necessarily
a full time player. And then Greg

47
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:30,960
dortsch Is twenty six in May,
a former UDFA out of Wake Forest who

48
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,960
delivered twenty four to eighty and two
last season for eleven point seven yards per

49
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,240
grab, forty one targets, and
he's primarily a slot weapon or slated four

50
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:45,199
kick return duty's five to seven one
seventy five a much smaller stature. So

51
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,479
all rumors indicates that the Cardinals could
be set on selecting Martin Harrison junior.

52
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:52,919
I picked one point oh four soon
many slides that far. If not the

53
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Cardinals Mike trade Beck. Still,
you'd think that they end up with one

54
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:02,000
of harrison junior neighbors Odoonsay or the
next best thing in Brian Thomas junior at

55
00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:05,319
a I, mikeschow Lad McConkey.
The list goes on and on. The

56
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:11,479
main takeaway here is that Kyler Murray
needs a go to weapon not named Shane

57
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,639
McBride, who plays tight end of
course, at wide receiver. It is

58
00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:17,600
not Michael Wilson does not Greg Dortch. Therefore, from a dynasty lens,

59
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,879
a wide receiver earning first round,
second round, or third round draft capital

60
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,560
to Arizona is someone to keep in
mind and elevate in our post draft rankings.

61
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,879
Hopefully it's a premier name like Harrison
Junior, Neighbors or Odoonze Baltimore Ravens

62
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,720
also need a wide receiver upgrade.
The franchise has the thirtieth overall pick in

63
00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:39,279
the first round two point six two
and three point nine to three. As

64
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,240
it stands, he's a Flowers or
Shad Bateman and Nelson Agalore. So Flowers

65
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,000
locked in as wide hot one for
the Ravens franchise, whereas Bateman is up

66
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,120
for debates if he's even going to
be relevant for much more than a season

67
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,879
or two, and Agalore is well
past his prime purely depth. So Flowers

68
00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:58,519
twenty four September twenty second overall pick
last year, who burst outo the NFL

69
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,399
scene to the tune of a seven
twenty seven, eight fifty eight five log

70
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,720
eleven point poine yards per catch with
one hundred and eight targets. Solid production

71
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:10,279
for a rookie in the Todd mockin
offense took time to acclimates. Lamar Jackson

72
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,720
quickly favored and developed a rapport with
Zay Bateman. He's twenty five and November

73
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,480
twenty seventh overall pick in twenty twenty
one out of Minnesota who has struggled with

74
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,560
injuries without surpassing forty six receptions,
five hundred and fifteen yard receiving two touchdowns,

75
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,000
or sixty eight targets in any of
his three campaigns to date. He

76
00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:30,439
is a major wild card at this
point could be viewed as a by Lowan

77
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,279
dynasty circles third fourth. His market
value has plummeted compared to where he was

78
00:05:36,319 --> 00:05:39,920
as a rookie three years ago,
and then Nelson Agalore is I mactually he's

79
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,839
thirty one in May twentieth overall selection
back at twenty fifteen in Philadelphia, that

80
00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:47,000
seems so long ago. He's bounced
around through a lot of NFL locker rooms

81
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,360
as a two or three on each
team's target total poll. I just think

82
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:56,480
that sure you have a healthy Mark
Andrews Derek Henry now in the fold to

83
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:00,000
take a lot of volume for the
offense. You just need a solid one.

84
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,279
I really were two to compliment ze
Flowers, and that could be selected

85
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,079
thirtieth overall if Baltimore chooses go that
route, if not in the second or

86
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,279
third round. Now, I will
admit that the fantasy environment in terms of

87
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:15,560
target share would not be all that
great if at Xavier were the Alabmaconcky a

88
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,839
Xavier La Guet someone in that value
range where to land thirty the overall.

89
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:20,800
So keep that in mind, some
of the might lower in our rankings despite

90
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,240
the need for Baltimore. Real life
Carolina Panthers need wide receiver and tight end

91
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,519
help. They have picked two point
three three two point three nine from the

92
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,639
Giants and three point six five picked
one point oh one could have been Carolina's,

93
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,240
but that was part of the Bryce
Young trade of Chicago last year.

94
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:42,040
That is currently Adam thieland deontaey Johnson
and Jonathan Mingo. Of note for Carolina

95
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,079
wide receiver and a tight end Tommy
Tremble Ian Thomas theelan is thirty four in

96
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,399
August. He did flourish last season
one O three ten, fourteen and four

97
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,199
nine point eight per catch, one
hundred and thirty seven targets. He was

98
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,319
the leader in that wide out room. Deante Johnson was a recent trade for

99
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,199
the Panthers. He'll be twenty eight
in July, aging faster, and he

100
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,000
might think third round out of Toledo
in twenty nineteen to Pittsburgh receptions per year

101
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:08,480
fifty nine eighty eight, one oh
seven, eighty six fifty one with only

102
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:11,959
one one thousand yard receiving season A
show four and that was one thousand,

103
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,199
one hundred and sixty one yards back
in twenty twenty one. We all know

104
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,759
the deal or story with Deyontae.
A great route runner, fluid, quick

105
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,279
feet, good decision making in terms
of where to go on routes to create

106
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:27,600
separation. The issues are durability and
his hands are inconsistent when it comes to

107
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,639
drops. But he should be a
security blanket and nice outlet for Bryce Young

108
00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:34,000
in his sophomore campaign. I mean
Jonathan Mingo is twenty three and April.

109
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,480
He's a second rounder out of Ole
Miss last year a huge disappointment as a

110
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,519
rookie though four to three catches fours
and eighteen yards zero touchdowns on eighty five

111
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,000
targets. A lot of the Donsy
community seems to have written off Mingo.

112
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:49,360
I would not go that far because
his pedigree and profile we were excited about

113
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:53,519
for good reason last year. So
he's a solid BI low shoot for a

114
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,120
fourth or a fifth. I've seen
Mingo drop in a fe dynasty leagues,

115
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,160
I think it is way too early
to overreact in that capacity. Then at

116
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,480
tight end, Tommy Tramble's twenty four
in June, he has sixty two catches

117
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,000
in three NFL seasons, Ian Thomas
twenty eight in June, one hundred and

118
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,600
sixteen receptions since twenty eighteen, but
only five catches in twenty twenty three.

119
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,720
So I do think that wide receiver
and tight end our spots we want to

120
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:16,160
see Carolina address and based on pure
opportunity, would be solid from a fantasy

121
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:20,519
perspective, assuming that Bryce Young takes
a step forward in twenty twenty four with

122
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:24,360
the guideance and direction of Dave Canalis, who has right of the ship for

123
00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:28,680
other quarterbacks like Geno Smith, Baker
Mayfield in the past, the Dallas Cowboys

124
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,840
running back stands out most Without twenty
powared obviously pick one point two, four,

125
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:35,480
two point five to six, and
three point eight seven. We can

126
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:39,759
all agree that there's no running back
that deserves to be selecting the first round

127
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:43,240
of this year's draft, so we
can ignore that maybe the second round could

128
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,600
be a target for Dallas, or
even a third So right now, it's

129
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,960
Rico Dowdle, duce Vaughan, and
Malik Davis. Dowdell's twenty six in June,

130
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,240
a former UDIFA out of South Carolina
who served a solid change of pace

131
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,039
roll behind twenty powered last season.
He went eighty nine three sixty one and

132
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,440
two for four point one yards per
carry and seventeen for a buck forty four

133
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,159
and two receivers touchdowns. As of
right now, we can assume that donalds

134
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,600
RB one in Dallas. However long
that lasts is up to the Cowboys front

135
00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:11,639
office and how they proceed to move
with their draft capital, because in free

136
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:15,279
agency no running backs were added up
significance. Duce Vaughn will be twenty three

137
00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:18,159
in November, a sixth rounder last
year out Kansas States who generated some rookie

138
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:24,279
buzz based on his college production and
preseason play, yet was not a large

139
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,840
factor in the regular season twenty three
rushes for forty yards, only one point

140
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,759
seven yards per clip, seven grabs
forty yards. Keep in mind, duce

141
00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:35,120
Vaughn is also very small five six
one seventy six. He is not going

142
00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:39,519
to be an ample workload weapon at
professional level. And then Malik Davis twenty

143
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,039
six November did not earn a single
carry last season, instead chipton six receptions

144
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,399
for sixty three yards. Okay,
So if Dallas bypasses running back in the

145
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:52,960
first round, we assume so second
round comes around, perhaps it's Jonathan Brooks

146
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,440
or Blake koram Trey Benson, Jalen
Wright, perhaps in the third round Braylen

147
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,120
Allen or actually estimate we will see
but Land in Dallas to become potentially a

148
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:05,360
featured back in that system with Dak
Prescott and all the weapons that would take

149
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,080
defensive attention away from running back.
To replace twenty powered would be a huge

150
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,840
boost for any running back prospect in
this year's class, So keep that in

151
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:18,240
mind as a post draft point of
emphasis. The Denver Broncos need a quarterback

152
00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:22,120
without Russell Wilson, they have picked
one point twelve and three point seven to

153
00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:26,279
six to work with. Jared Stidham
is the current starter. He's twenty eight

154
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:30,360
in August, a fourth rounder out
of Auburn in twenty nineteen to the Patriots.

155
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:33,720
He then spent time with Las Vegas
in twenty twenty two and Denver in

156
00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:37,960
twenty twenty three. He's a career
fifty nine point four percent passer, eight

157
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,519
touchdowns, eight picks on his resume
and has a career seventy eight point three

158
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:46,200
passer rating. Unless Denver is fully
tanking for twenty twenty five, it's hard

159
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,879
to envision Sean Payton entering twenty twenty
four with Stidham as the team starter.

160
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,519
There's been a lot of chatter in
the rumor mill that Denver is linked to

161
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,279
JJ McCarthy, but at one point
twelve it seems unlikely slides that far,

162
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:01,039
so Denver gonna have to trade up
if they want secure one of not named

163
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,759
Cale Williams, McCarthy, Drake may
or Jaden Daniels. The Indianapolis Colts tight

164
00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:09,120
end hear me out. I know
they have plenty of depth, but I

165
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,759
just don't think it's a standout strength
for the team in real life, especially

166
00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:16,720
if we assume Anthony Rigerson is back
and healthy this upcoming season. They have

167
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:20,200
the fifteenth pick overall two point four
to six and three point eight two,

168
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,360
so the depth the room at tight
end for the Colts looks like Will Mallory,

169
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:26,039
Jlanny Woods, Kylin Granson and Mollalley
Cox. Their career reception stand at

170
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:30,159
Will Mallory eighteen, he was rookie
last year. Jelanny Woods twenty five missed

171
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,480
all of last year with a very
serious hamstring injury. Should be back this

172
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:37,759
season, but is he a franchise
caliber starter and even viable for us in

173
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:41,960
fantasy? Who knows hard to trust
right now? Kylin grantson seventy two catches

174
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,399
and mo Alle Cox one hundred and
two. They thought here is that if

175
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,840
somehow brock Bowers were to slide to
the fifteenth overall pick and the Colts are

176
00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:52,320
on the clock, I think it'd
be a dream scenario. He will eventually

177
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,919
supplant replace Mallory Woods, Granson Cox, and be a fundamental component of the

178
00:11:56,919 --> 00:12:01,919
direction that the Colts franchise is headed
with a are Michael Pittman Jonathan Taylor a

179
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,519
key cog offensively who can block and
also serve an extension of the passing game

180
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:11,039
with ridiculous after the catch abilities.
Brock Bauers is essentially a glorified wide receiver

181
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,759
and a tight end body frame,
so that'd be really nice I have panned

182
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:18,480
out, if not second third round
kup looking at THEO Johnson, Ben Sinnett,

183
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,480
perhaps even jaheem Bell. We will
see how it goes. But if

184
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,919
I was running the Colts franchise,
I certainly be considering a tight end to

185
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,000
pair with Anthony Rigotson from here on
out. Las Vegas Raiders help out wide

186
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,559
receiver makes sense. They have the
thirteenth overall pick, the second round pick

187
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:35,679
forty four overall, and the third
round seventy seven overall. I thought about

188
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:39,120
quarterback, and they've been linked to
a lot of names, yet Gardner Minshew

189
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,240
should be enough to get the job
done as a stop get the position just

190
00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:45,080
don't be surprised if the Raiders are
going to drop the quarterback in the first

191
00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:46,960
round. But I don't know if
the thirteenth overall pick is enough to get

192
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,759
it done at wide receiver's Davonte Adams, Kobe Myers, and Trey Tucker.

193
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,879
Adams will be thirty two in December. He's had back to back stellar seasons

194
00:12:54,919 --> 00:12:58,799
with Las Vegas one hundred fifteen sixteen
and fourteen and one three eleven forty four

195
00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:03,120
eight this past season, but target
totals won eighty one seventy five. He

196
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,399
is still getting it done as an
elite wide receiver one real life and fantasy.

197
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,480
The question is how much longer as
he's going to be thirty two and

198
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:15,399
December. That is a lingering storyline, as I have advised to cash out

199
00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:18,600
on Adams for probably four or five
seasons now. He's proven me wrong in

200
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:22,200
terms of the efficiency remaining. His
skill set has not declined, but eventually

201
00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:26,279
you need to pivot off of an
aging wide out for either a first early

202
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,279
to mid August a younger version of
what Adams could be That is totally subjective

203
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,159
and up to you if you have
Adam's roster. Kobe Myers is twenty eight.

204
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:37,240
In November, he delivered output a
seventy one eight oh seven eight for

205
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:39,200
eleven point four yards per ketch with
the one hundred and six targets his first

206
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,039
year away from the Patriots. Finally, Trey Tucker is twenty three. He

207
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,440
was a third rounder last year of
Cincinnati. His rookie production was nineteen for

208
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,960
three thirty one and two for seventeen
point four yards per ketch on thirty four

209
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,000
targets. Plenty of wide receiver depth
in this year's class to target an option

210
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,720
at the thirteenth overall pick and the
second or the third quarterback dependent. Of

211
00:13:56,759 --> 00:14:01,759
course, Gardamage you can get it
done. All was more of a facilitator

212
00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:07,240
game manager than actual game winner or
stack driver for running back, wide receiver,

213
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,039
tight end. So hopefully if it
is not a rookie, then it

214
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:15,000
is Gardner Mitshew and adding a nice
number three to replace Trey Tucker makes the

215
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,919
most sense he because Adams and Myers
is a solid duo. The main topic

216
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,879
conversation and why I have wide receiver
listed as a need for the Raiders is

217
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:26,879
once Adams does fall off in terms
of being a true wivesuver one, that

218
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,240
replacement is not currently on the Raiders
team or depth chart, so this could

219
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,399
be a nice draft to do.
So look ahead of the future and lock

220
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,480
in his long term air apparent at
the position. Time for a quick break,

221
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:41,759
and I'll be back with a few
more rookie lang spots that would be

222
00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:45,519
ideal for us in fantasy. Before
that, keep in mind, the best

223
00:14:45,679 --> 00:14:48,519
way to support me and my work
is over on Patreon. For only five

235
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:33,720
is a great time to do so, because my pre draft quarterback, running

236
00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:37,600
back, wide receiver, and as
of next week, tight end pre draft

237
00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:41,399
rankings, our available episode and Google
sheet form volunteers, and then the week

238
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,679
after that will be my top fifty
assuming super flex formats once again, all

239
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,279
the rankings only on Patreon. Time
for that quick break and I'll be back

240
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,519
with a few more landing spots that
we should be really focusing on for position

241
00:15:54,759 --> 00:16:00,279
team needs. That next team is
the Los Angeles Charger running back, wide

242
00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:03,399
receiver, and tight ends. Than
at most to me, they have a

243
00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:07,320
fifth overall pick two point three seven
and three point sixty nine at running back

244
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,960
right now, it is Gus Edwards
and Asia Spiller. At wide receiver,

245
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,360
it's Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston,
and at tight end a room of veterans

246
00:16:12,639 --> 00:16:17,039
Will Disley, Hayden Hurst and Donald
Parham. So at running back we have

247
00:16:17,039 --> 00:16:19,279
Gus Edwards twenty nine in April one, ninety eight, eight ten and thirteen

248
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:22,799
four point one yards for Carrey in
twenty twenty three with Baltimore. He's a

249
00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:26,720
great fit for Jim Harbaugh and Greg
Roman. However, based on how much

250
00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:30,120
the Chargers will probably run the football, a rookie in this line spot would

251
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,759
be ideal. There have been some
reports that JK. Dobbins is going to

252
00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:37,799
work out for the Chargers, so
if you're listening and Dobbin's ready signed there,

253
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,919
then it would clearly change things.
Wide receiver, though, that is

254
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,320
no joke, No Keenan Allen,
no Mike Williams. We have Joshua Palmer,

255
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,240
who is a solid role player twenty
five September third rounder in twenty twenty

256
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,759
one out of Tennessee. He has
not eclipsed seventy two catches, seven hundred

257
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:55,559
and fifty nine yards, receiving four
touchdowns or one hundred and seven targets,

258
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,679
and a season to date he is
not a one, more of a two

259
00:16:57,919 --> 00:17:00,679
or a three and a best case
scenario. And then as Quentin Johnston,

260
00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:04,680
who could still profile as a one
long term, but there's development and refined

261
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,839
that has to take place. It'll
be twenty three in September twenty first overall

262
00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:11,200
pick out of TCU last season,
who flopped as a rookie with a thirty

263
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,839
eight four to thirty one to two
receiving log for eleven point three yars per

264
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,640
catch on sixty seven targets. There's
a two full conversation here. One,

265
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,599
the Chargers are encouraged or believe in
Qj's development to treat him as a one

266
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,279
or two. Or the other side
is that at pick one point oh five

267
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,680
or if they trade back, there's
going to be a plan for Harrison Junior

268
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:34,400
Neighbors or a Duneze to really lock
in a franchise caliber wide out one.

269
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,880
Then again, you hear Jim Harbell
talk even at the owners meeting, and

270
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,359
he wants to really build the offensive
line, which could mean Joe Alt at

271
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:47,000
the fifth overall pick. It is
uncertain what direction the franchise is headed,

272
00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:49,880
but we do know that wide receiver
is a nice fit if a rookie lands

273
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,240
there with a first, second or
third round pick in real life, and

274
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,920
then the career receptions at tight end
are will diss Lead one to twenty seven,

275
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,559
Hayden Hirrison one ninety five, and
Donald Parham for sixty seven Bowers,

276
00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:03,440
he would make a lot of sense. Or the other names I mentioned in

277
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,319
the second or third round from my
previous tight end discussion could theoretically be upgrades

278
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,200
over Disley Hurst or Parhams just a
very crowded tight end room. The Minnesota

279
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,079
Vikings need a long term solution at
quarterback. They have the eleventh overall pick

280
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,359
and twenty third overall pick it was
acquired from Houston. Right now, it's

281
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,160
Sam Darnoald, who was signed on
a free agent transaction Nick Bollens and Jaron

282
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,119
Hall. Sam Darnald the presumes starter
for now is twenty seven in June,

283
00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:29,240
third overall pick back in twenty eighteen
with the Jets, and he was with

284
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,359
the Carolina Panthers with twenty twenty one
and twenty twenty two and the backup to

285
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,880
Brock Purty on the forty nine ers
last season. As I mentioned on my

286
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,279
Free Ation show, I like Sam
Donald as a quarterback three and tuper flex

287
00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:42,480
perhaps treamabowl in one quarterback league's if
Minnesota does not draft the rookie. But

288
00:18:42,519 --> 00:18:47,440
it sounds like that is the plan
for the organization, hence why they traded

289
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,759
for that twenty third overall pick to
have more ammunition to move up from one

290
00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:56,039
point eleven for one of Daniels may
or possibly JJ McCarthy. The Newtonland Patriots

291
00:18:56,039 --> 00:19:00,680
need a quarterback and wide receiver one
point zero three D, two point three

292
00:19:00,759 --> 00:19:03,920
four and three point sixty eight.
At quarterback, it's Cobbersett and Bailly Zappi.

293
00:19:04,039 --> 00:19:08,799
Wide receiver is a log jam of
average talent, no cornerstone pieces though

294
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:14,319
kja Osbourne, jujusmn Schuster tomorrow,
Douglas, Taelwon Thornton, and Kendrick Bournset

295
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,400
will be thirty two in December,
so he is a short term bridge option

296
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,200
for the Patriots rebuilding franchise. Bailly
zappi Is twenty five in April has not

297
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,599
proved to be reliable starter consistently when
mac Jones Miss Timer is outright benched.

298
00:19:25,759 --> 00:19:29,039
And then the career receptions for the
receivers are kja osbourn at one fifty eighth,

299
00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:33,480
Juju With four thirty, Tomrio Douglas
forty nine, Thornton thirty five and

300
00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:37,440
born to sixty four. That is
not a great wide receiver room. Then

301
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,880
again, we don't want a wide
receiver or quarterback with the level of upside

302
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,400
such as Jaydon Daniels to land in
New England because a fantasy supporting cast and

303
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,640
environment is dreadful. So this is
a situation. A lot of the names

304
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,720
that we are excited about as rookies
don't land in time will tell the New

305
00:19:51,839 --> 00:19:53,880
Orleans Saints could use another wide receiver. They have the fourteenth overall pick and

306
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,400
pick two point four to five from
Denver at wide receivers Chris Olave, Rashid

307
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,279
Shahead, and at Perry Michael Thomas, who was released. Olave is twenty

308
00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:03,920
four in June, eleventh overall picked
at twenty twenty two. He went eighty

309
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,519
seven eleven twenty three and five last
year twelve point nine yards per grab,

310
00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:11,400
one hundred and thirty eight targets,
and then Shaheed twenty six in August former

311
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,359
UDFA out of Ubber State. His
sophomore output was forty six seven nineteen and

312
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,880
five fifteen point six yards per catch
on seventy five targets, and then at

313
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,559
Perry was a nice depth piece and
flyer for the Saints last season. He's

314
00:20:23,559 --> 00:20:27,000
twenty five in October rookie log of
twelve two forty six and four for twenty

315
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,319
and a half yards per catch that
stands out eighteen targets. A sixth rounder

316
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,319
out of wake Forest, Olave is
the wide receiver one for the Saints.

317
00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:38,319
The quarterback play is in consistent with
their car sure, but there's other needs

318
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:41,839
for the Saints to identify or strategize
on their big board. I think wide

319
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:47,359
receiver's one of them because Rashid Shaheed
has struggled with injuries over his rookie and

320
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,759
software campaigns. He's a good lidlifter, but you still need that Michael Thomas

321
00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:56,279
replacement alongside Olave. Alave has not
proved in fantasy yet to be a true

322
00:20:56,319 --> 00:21:00,119
wide receiver one, and his size
perhaps is indicate that he is the same

323
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,079
in real life. Maybe he's just
a great wide receiver two or more of

324
00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:06,720
an Aj Brown to Devonte Smith one
to a one B situation. Or if

325
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,880
the Saints do bring in a promising
rookie wideout, then it takes a little

326
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,480
bit of pressure off of Lave,
who wouldn't say has been a bust at

327
00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:15,079
Ohiose States, But in terms of
being expectations, his first two seasons have

328
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:21,240
been good, not spectacular. The
New York Giants quarterbacks of possibility, certainly

329
00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:23,599
wide receiver. They have the sixth
overall pick two point four seven from Seattle

330
00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:29,039
and three point seven zero Daniel Jones
Drew Lock at quarterback. At wide receiver,

331
00:21:29,279 --> 00:21:33,519
it is a lot of depth,
but no standout names unless someone emerges

332
00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:36,920
from this group of Jalen Hyatt,
Wandale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Stone Sheppard,

333
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,400
and Isaiah Hodgens. At quarterback.
Daniel Jones is twenty seven in May,

334
00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:44,440
sixth overall pick in twenty nineteen out
of duke a career sixty four point

335
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,680
three percent passer, sixty two touchdowns
of forty interceptions. That's the demise or

336
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,559
downside of Daniel Jones, his decision
making and the turnovers. Then there's Drew

337
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:56,480
Locke twenty eight November second rounder twenty
nineteen on Missouri, who did not pan

338
00:21:56,559 --> 00:22:00,559
out with Denver Good backup in Seattle
last season. I don't think that Locke

339
00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:06,240
will unseat Daniel Jones unless Jones is
not recovered from his knee injury in time.

340
00:22:06,519 --> 00:22:10,920
There's been a lot of smoke around
the Giants trading up and or selecting

341
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,200
a quarterback at one point zero six, which would absolutely sink Daniel Jones his

342
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,559
value in dynasty leagues, especially super
FLEXI two quarterback that's concerned. And then

343
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:22,880
at wide receiver that's also a prime
spot to select a Harrison Junior, a

344
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:29,240
neighbors Arrodonze if the Giants want to
reset that position and have a clear stud

345
00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:34,039
to then make Hyatt Wandale, Slayton
Sheppard, Hodgens nice rotational pieces or a

346
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,319
solid two or three behind a more
talented true number one. And then finally

347
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,039
the Pittsburgh Steelers a wide receiver.
They have the twentieth overall pick two point

348
00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:45,440
five to one, three point eight
four and three point nine eight actually compensatory

349
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,119
pick from Philadelphia. The room in
Pittsburgh. Right now is George Pickens,

350
00:22:49,279 --> 00:22:55,119
Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin after Gionton
Johnson's traded the Carolina Pickens. You all

351
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,799
am a huge fan of his.
He's twenty three. He emerged during the

352
00:22:56,799 --> 00:23:00,640
second NFL season last year, sixty
three eleven four, twenty and five,

353
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,119
eighteen point win ards per catch,
one hundred and six targets with unreliable and

354
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,599
consistent quarterback play, whether it's from
can He Pickett or Donna Stretch. Decent

355
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:14,240
support for Macy Rudolph hopefully Russell Wilson
and judgment fields are massive upgrades for Pickens

356
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,319
and his outlook. I think he's
a borderline wide receiver two with wide receiver

357
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,519
one upside in dynasty leagues. And
then Van Jefferson is twenty eight in July,

358
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:25,720
one hundred and thirteen career catches,
a former second rounder in twenty twenty

359
00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:29,319
three rams. Calvin Austin meanwhile is
twenty five. He misses in hierrookie season

360
00:23:29,319 --> 00:23:30,880
out of Memphis in twenty twenty two. In twenty twenty three, he went

361
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,640
seventeen for a buck eighty to one
for ten point six. Jeffer Ketch On

362
00:23:34,839 --> 00:23:38,319
thirty targets. He's more of a
gadget type of player or a special teams

363
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,759
contributor like on pupp returns. But
Austin's not someone that we should go out

364
00:23:41,759 --> 00:23:45,880
of our way to trade foreign dynasty
even use a roster spot on because it's

365
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:51,799
Pickins question market Van Jefferson, frianmuth
at tight end and then the RB duo

366
00:23:52,079 --> 00:23:55,920
of Nag Harris Jalel Warren, which
is where oc Outle Smith is going to

367
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,920
focus his offensive game plan on.
But adding to wide receiver is huge for

368
00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:04,160
Pittsburgh to compliment George Pickens, take
some pressure off of him and just elevate

369
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,759
the offense. Russell Wilson justin Fields, whoever the starter is needs more weapons

370
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,680
to throw the football to. Pickets
cannot do it all. Hope you all

371
00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:15,799
enjoyed this week's episode. Again,
the main idea here is to pre draft

372
00:24:15,839 --> 00:24:21,240
identify where we want rookies to actually
land and then post draft potentially raise those

373
00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:26,559
names if draft capital lines in our
rankings and keep that as an indication of

374
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,559
landing. Spot is important where you
compare it though to talent in terms of

375
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,119
the college prospect, their resume,
the production, and how they test it

376
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:40,799
at the combine. Then you find
the balancing act of weighing opportunity versus pure

377
00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:45,079
talent. Long term, it's the
most polarizing discussion point of dynasty leagues because

378
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:52,920
there's pros and cons to evaluating from
opportunity versus the true upside of a player's

379
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,240
skill set. More often than that, I bank on the skill set over

380
00:24:56,279 --> 00:25:00,000
opportunity because the opportunity change based on
injury, coach, staff, chain,

381
00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:03,279
personnel, group beings. You get
the idea. Nonetheless, I go through

382
00:25:03,279 --> 00:25:07,480
this exercise every off season before the
draft hits, so about a month now

383
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:12,480
to see exactly where there are holes
in offensive depth charts that rookies could easily

384
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,119
solve. Thank you again for listening. Until next time. This is the

385
00:25:17,319 --> 00:25:18,480
dining. As you're checking out,
don't forget to reach out if you want

386
00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:22,240
to get on my calendar for a
thirty minute or hour roster call to break

387
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,960
down your team. Before you know
it, our rookie draft's going to be

388
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,279
here, so this is a great
time to talk strategy and prospects. Talk

389
00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:51,519
to you all soon. See you
