I had 131 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:28.000 a meeting this morning. I attended uh hosted by a 132 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:33.120 UH a wonderful guy named Neil Stratton who does a 133 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.160 great job of bringing the industry together for his private meetings. 134 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.319 And over thirty nil general managers from colleges across the 135 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.959 country were there and it was very enlightening. And yeah, 136 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:51.439 that is the that is the gorilla. Uh. As far 137 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:56.439 as the Combine is concerned, ask more directed questions and 138 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:57.680 I'll give you some ins. 139 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.519 Neil Stratton can be here. Neil Stratton, by the way 140 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.040 from Houston, Texas came followed on the X at inside 141 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.680 the League. He is the guy who is going to 142 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:12.360 be running succeed in football dot Com. And you were 143 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:14.759 at a front row seat for this. I don't want 144 00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.000 to put words in you with Farrell, but was this 145 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.959 like the actual combine? Did you also get an upgrade 146 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.639 in understanding the NIL and everything going on in college 147 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:29.720 football equally as you are understanding as you already have 148 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:33.679 a well handled situation on it with pro football? Was 149 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.000 this kind of like on the same level college and problem. 150 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.759 Is continuing and we're all figuring out at the same 151 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.240 time from coaches from general managers. The shift is that 152 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.879 many general managers, as talent evaluators and people that can 153 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.039 manage a salary cap, are coming from professional football and 154 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:53.759 moving into the college ranks to run the NIL. And 155 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.399 there are all various ages and they're all being very 156 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.559 well compensated, which makes it quite feasible for them to 157 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:06.200 wish to leave scouting in the NFL or some other 158 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:11.559 aspect of coaching and come in and contribute. And it, uh, yeah, 159 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:19.639 it's it's pretty fascinating, and it's it's going to how 160 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.639 it affects fantasy football, because that's what this show is about. 161 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.200 We're going to know more about the players. We're going 162 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:29.879 to be able to understand an early nil valuation of 163 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:35.480 college players another stat besides their name, to discuss what 164 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.360 they're going to do when we get to the NFL. 165 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.440 And so all of us would like to play fantasy 166 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:44.120 football can now begin to project rookie values long before 167 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:48.360 they've become available to us in the NFL. And we're 168 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.720 going to continue to see a great deal of transfer, 169 00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.960 not transfer for transfer sake, but transfer because of the 170 00:09:55.480 --> 00:10:00.159 economics involved. And it's uh, yeah, it's it's uh, it's 171 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.200 a very exciting time in the football world. 172 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:06.799 What can you tell me about is obviously, like a 173 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:08.720 lot of us who, like a lot of people who 174 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:13.399 are playing dynasty, whether in the KFFC, the FFPC, are 175 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.679 tuning in tonight to find out more about dynasty fantasy football. 176 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:20.600 What can you tell us about not only the the 177 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.240 landscape with college football with the NIL right now, but 178 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:27.480 how that's affecting pro football. And I'll bring you to this. 179 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.679 There are plenty of players who are sticking around in 180 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:36.440 college football right now because of the landfall of cash 181 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:39.000 that they are getting as opposed to what they could 182 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.759 get in the NFL. Is this something we need to 183 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.200 be concerned about. There is something to be said for 184 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:48.039 people who are scouting players, you know, at the DEBI level, 185 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.759 and then and then obviously at the college football level, 186 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.440 who are excited about dynasty fantasy football, you know, rookie 187 00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.279 drafts coming up and everything. How is this affecting us 188 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.159 who do not follow college football, do not follow high 189 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.080 school football, but follow professional football, especially at that dynasty level. 190 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.759 How is the nil How is everything that you have 191 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.720 learned this past weekend and previous to this affecting players 192 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:14.279 who are not only drafting in redraft leagues, but dynasty 193 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:15.320 leagues as well. Well. 194 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.799 I think it's time to start following college football because 195 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:19.840 we can now understand it in the terms that we're 196 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.279 used to as fantasy players, and we can deal with 197 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.919 it in the terms that we're used to. Is studying 198 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.799 and following the money in the NFL, because it's beginning 199 00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:30.720 to look more like that. No players, you know, the 200 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.639 COVID is finally in the background. It's finally so far 201 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:39.320 back that the age there is not an age limitation 202 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.639 on players. We're going to see more four and five 203 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:47.080 and done and more younger players coming in the league. 204 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:51.240 And I think we I think that was reflected in 205 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.200 the guys that are working at the combine of the 206 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.399 guys that are going to be in the draft this year. 207 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:03.360 One of the things of balkey that I've had commentary 208 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.639 from friends. Our good friend Richard Ross sent me a 209 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:12.679 text tonight talking about how players that don't perform at 210 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:19.039 the combine he questions their competitiveness. And that's understandable because 211 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.519 you know, I ran into a trainer today that asked 212 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:27.440 me to call some agents that were new in the 213 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:31.799 business and tell them that their client, his client that 214 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:34.559 he's been training, and their client that they represent him 215 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:39.879 must run at the combine. Because the player wants to run. 216 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:42.279 The agent doesn't want him to because the agent's nervous 217 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.399 that he hasn't healed from his injury from college ball. 218 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.200 And I met that kid, and there's no way that 219 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.399 it's going to keep him out for running at the combine. 220 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.879 He would run in the hallway on the way to 221 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:59.840 But if you are a college football fan, you want 222 00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.279 players to show up and play in the bowl game. 223 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:04.200 There was one team last year it might have been 224 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.159 San Jose, but I'm not really sure who it was. 225 00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:09.240 They had to cancel their involvement in a bowl game 226 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.480 because so many players that entered the portal, they have 227 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:16.039 no players to play in the bowl game. Then we 228 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.000 want the tournament. We want a true national championship in 229 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:25.879 college football, and you have elongated seasons there. So you 230 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.279 take a switch now and you look at the different 231 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.679 players who are at the top of their game, amongst 232 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.200 the top players in the league, and here we are 233 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.159 in late February. Well, they played a long college season. 234 00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:41.200 They're not necessarily advanced in their training. Their body hasn't 235 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:47.480 recovered from the season. So it's understandable how they figured 236 00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:51.440 that their best effort could come later at the combine 237 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:55.120 because or at the pro day, because the training that 238 00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.240 they're having personally is just beginning to take effect. They 239 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.720 would go and have a week of training and make 240 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.399 gradual steps. But now that has sort of kicked in, 241 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.200 and so in one day's training they're advancing like it 242 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.759 was for an entire week. And I'll figure up. I'll 243 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:16.639 finish up by just saying that there's an element that 244 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:19.320 if you throw at your pro day or if you 245 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:23.639 work at your pro DA, you're going to be assisting 246 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.600 your teammates that are there. If you're a top player 247 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:31.360 and you haven't worked yet, there's a chance that more 248 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:36.080 attentive and more depth every team will have representation, but 249 00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:39.159 attentive guys in the coaching staff and more depth from 250 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:42.480 certain teams might show up at your PRODA, which helps 251 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.679 all the guys that you've been with for four years. 252 00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:49.720 So it doesn't let's let's don't. Let's don't set a 253 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:52.200 player aside because he doesn't throw at the PRODA. He's 254 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.399 got personal reasons to do it. He might be doing 255 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:57.519 a lot of other things that you like as a 256 00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:58.200 football fan. 257 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:05.879 I think the thing to understand here is, I'll put 258 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:08.559 this out there. Ryan Heath from Fantasy Points just at 259 00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:14.679 a podcast with Theogrammager, and he pointed out all the 260 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.200 things that we need to be paying attention to and 261 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.480 the things we should ignore as far as the combine 262 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:25.480 goes to your point, Pharaoh, and check that out anywhere 263 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:29.240 you get podcasts to your point Pharaoh. I think that 264 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.039 if I was in a situation as a quarterback, a 265 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.000 receiver of running back to tight end, whatever I am 266 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:39.200 going to do, what is going to get me drafted highest, 267 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:42.120 because what is going to get me drafted highest in 268 00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:44.519 the NFL draft is going to pay me the most. 269 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.679 So if that's not working out, I'm not going to 270 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:48.159 work out. 271 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.720 That's a good point. And each of that is determined individually. 272 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.320 Like and you know, I wanted to be at the 273 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.399 combine and I wanted to get the most from the 274 00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.639 meetings today, so balkey. As you know, I am not 275 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.559 a more person, but I was. I was up this 276 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:06.200 morning at four am. So if I say anything that's 277 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:09.120 a bit off putting to anyone, I apologize because you 278 00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:11.159 know this has been a hello, a long day. 279 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.559 That's all I will say this. I had a six 280 00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:17.120 forty five am doctors, So you and I are in 281 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:18.759 a bad spot right now. 282 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.000 I need a six forty five am doctors point. 283 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:26.120 All right, So here's what I want to do.

There's two things I want to 289 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.720 bring up tonight, Ferrell before we get into the actual 290 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:45.320 show itself. 291 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.279 Some Porkys will be proud that you got the bacon ry. 292 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.679 Oh yeah, porky's by the way, Scott Christian, here we go. 293 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:57.480 Nothing better than seafood and and pork Yeah. 294 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:02.440 Well, no question.

You introduced me as a crusher 304 00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:25.440 of dreams a few minutes ago. We're not going to 305 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:28.200 be right about everything during the show exactly. 306 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.160 So glad to be joined by Farrell Edwards tonight on 307 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.759 the on the show fantastic stuff. No no, Scott, Scott 308 00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:41.720 Christian and James Kicks uh birthing pinkers that we are 309 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:43.960 bringing on the show tonight. So two things I want 310 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.119 to bring up. Number one, the big news of the 311 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:50.519 night Matthew Stafford. He's finalizing a deal to remain with 312 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:54.920 the Rams for this upcoming season. According to Ian Rappaport. 313 00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:58.400 The te's just have to be crossed, the eyes just 314 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.519 have to be dotted. We were talking about Stafford potentially 315 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:04.640 going to the Giants, Stafford potentially going to the Raiders. 316 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.519 Obviously he was skiing with Tom Brady and Montana this 317 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:10.519 past week. We know he's gonna be back with Los 318 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:13.839 Angeles Ferrell. This just I think the biggest thing I 319 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.960 take away from this. I'm comfy, cozy draftings Matthew Stafford 320 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.920 as my number two quarterback in never too early best 321 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.440 ball tournaments with the FFPC, and Puka Nakua is locked 322 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.839 and loaded as a first round pick this year. And 323 00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.519 that's my biggest takeaways from the Stafford. The reported Stafford 324 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:35.799 deal with the Rams. That's gonna keep him around, not 325 00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:38.079 only for twenty twenty five, which is all I care 326 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:40.200 about with Stafford because they kind of want to go 327 00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:42.279 week to week with him or year to year with 328 00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:44.599 him right now. That's all I care about with him 329 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:47.359 right now. I feel really good about Stafford Nkua in 330 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:48.240 twenty twenty five. 331 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.319 Yeah, I do too. We got to figure out how 332 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:55.880 to use Stafford in this upcoming draft, and if you're 333 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.240 gonna get him as a second round draft pick, and 334 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:04.920 you know, two hundred and seventy nine million dollars is 335 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:09.440 the new salary cap. I don't expect to jump like 336 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:11.880 that next year. And the reason I don't is because 337 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:14.200 I've been told by people that really know not to 338 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:20.599 expect to jump next year, but a year to year thing. 339 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.160 You know. One of the things I learned today is 340 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:27.759 we might get you know, the collective of bargaining agreement 341 00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:31.319 does the current one does not expire until twenty thirty. 342 00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:36.319 We might get there sooner. There's so many introduction of 343 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:42.599 revenue streams in the NFL that the owners may actually 344 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:45.880 want to join the players' union and getting a new 345 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:50.720 deal out on the table. So that might include this 346 00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:53.720 big news for fantasy football, and the players are dead 347 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.599 set against it as of today. But part of that 348 00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:04.799 negotiation might be another regular season football game. So we'll see, 349 00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:05.920 we will see. 350 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:09.599 I want to bring this up and and my apologies again, Jeff, 351 00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:12.759 gorge yourself on that bacon rap shrimp, because we will 352 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:13.440 get to you shortly. 353 00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:14.839 We're going to go over tonight. 354 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:15.000 Bo. 355 00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:20.759 It's leaning that way. Tom Smith, our mutual friend Tom Smith, 356 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:25.279 who I am playing in Week one, h aff C 357 00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:29.960 one of the KFFFC drafts that have already drafted, sent 358 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.839 me a Facebook message tonight about Corbyn Smith, who covers 359 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:41.799 the Seattle Seahawks for Emerald Spectrum locked on Seahawks Fox 360 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:47.359 thirteen Seattle. He does a lot. He's got twenty four 361 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:51.599 thousand plus followers on x I'll bring this up. He 362 00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:56.400 reported that the Packers have been open to the idea 363 00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.640 of moving their first round pick in exchange for DK 364 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:06.279 Metcalf because, as Peter Vikowski, who is a normal weekly 365 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:09.799 guest on my terrestrial radio show here in northeast Wisconsin, 366 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.440 they believe they can get similar compensation back for Jay 367 00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:17.519 R Alexander, the cornerback, the former All Pro cornerback for 368 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:20.039 the Packers, in a separate deal. So there's a lot 369 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:25.279 going on. According to Corman Smith, there is a deal 370 00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:27.839 on the table right now that the Packers have issued 371 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:32.519 for Seattle that will send one of the packers draft 372 00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:36.039 picks and one of the Packers' young receivers to Seattle 373 00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:40.079 in exchange for DK Metcalf coming to Green Bay. I 374 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.359 don't like to dwell on this type of stuff. I 375 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:45.680 don't like to put a spotlight on this type of stuff, 376 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:51.519 but when Tom Smith, KFFFC celebrity, FFP seed legend, when 377 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:53.400 he brings this up, I feel like I have to 378 00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:57.799 bring this up. This does not sound like Green Bay, 379 00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.920 this does not feel like the Packers. But it's out 380 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.920 there right now. Farrell, if you are drafting in the 381 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.400 KFFFC right now, if you are drafting in the FFPC 382 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.839 right now, how do you handle the Packers receivers? More importantly, 383 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:16.039 how do you handle DK Metcalf Knowing that it's reported 384 00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:19.440 that he could be headed to the Packers from Seattle. 385 00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:22.599 I've always wanted DK Metcalf to have a new playground. 386 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:27.920 I think that would be wonderful. Who knows, it's just 387 00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:33.039 that does it move? Where's he going? Where's Darren? Let 388 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:35.559 us know that he's going right now because he there's 389 00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:38.359 a room I think to move him up on speculation, 390 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:41.519 and I think there's a lot of any landing space 391 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:44.720 outside of Seattle might be an improved landing space for him. 392 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.119 Not that things aren't necessarily correct in Seattle, but I 393 00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:51.680 think this player, like some of the other receivers, it 394 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:56.200 digs and it could just use a new sever. 395 00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.920 Right now, DK Metcalf is drafted as wide receiver te 396 00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.559 so at the end of the of the wide Receiver 397 00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:06.039 twos that he is going at the five oh four 398 00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:09.759 Pharaoh right now in the FFPC Big Gorilla Fantasymojo dot 399 00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:13.160 Com at Fantasy Mojo on the ex Fantasy Mojo, Darren 400 00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:16.359 ARMANI the godfather of the processes, Joe's for the FFPC 401 00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:19.720
