Speaker 2: Let's get right to it. NFL Draft.
Speaker 1: Eight rookie value losers up first, I have Max Claire
to la Rams who buy draft capital standards. This is
a win in terms of second round sixty first overall,
but from a fantasy lens, this is a crowded depth
chart for the Rams. Among tight ends, Claire's twenty two
will be twenty three in July.
Speaker 2: We have the.
Speaker 1: Uncertainty of Tyler Higbee, will he be back, will be traded,
will be released? Kobe Parkinson, who flourished last season, big
fan of Terrence Ferguson, who sounds like you could be
the snap and target leader in this tight end group
based on comments from Sean McVay and then even Davis Allen.
So that's a group of four, let alone Claire entering
now a group of five tight ends, all of which Higbee, Parkinson,
Ferguson and Allen combined for one hundred and fifty targets
in twenty twenty five. If we knew that those one
hundred fifty targets would be allocated to one or two
of these tight ends on the RAMS dep chart, it
would be a game changer and a competitive action fantasy. However,
it's not the case, and it's a bi coommittee approach.
The Rams implement a ton of thirteen personnel usage, which
is great for them in real life an extension of
the running or blocking game with said tight ends as
Alex's receivers, but it becomes a bit difficult or frustrating
to project usage week to week for consistently purposes. Claire
was featured as an all purpose tight end with both
Purdue and Ohio States, yet is known more as a
receiver than traditional blocker.
Speaker 2: Some limitations there.
Speaker 1: Nonetheless, I am lowering my immediate expectations for Max Clayer
as a prospect due to the aforem eat crowded depth
chart in LA. That being said, if Claire's available to
me in the mid to light second or surely the
third in a tighten premium league, I'm going to bet
on long term upside as a one A, one B
punch with Terrence Ferguson. That's at least a goal or
best range of outcomes Upnax. Another tight end, Sam Rousch
the Chicago Bears, who I was high on pre draft.
It's nice to see third round draft capital sixty nine
overall a Day two pick. However, another crowded depth charts
in Chicago at tight end Raosh is twenty two twenty three.
In September, Colson Lovelin arguably tight end one in dynasty,
if not top three to five lock cole Comet. So
could Sam Roush be a long term replacement to cole Comet,
who was under contract till twenty twenty eight, or there
is some rumors circulating here in the Chicagoland area that
cole Comet can be expendable as a post June first
trade candidate.
Speaker 2: Time will tell.
Speaker 1: It's no surprise that Ben Johnson Ryan Poles decided to
select Row. He's a blocking specialist PFF grade of sixty
eight point eight in that regard. However, I'm not underestimating
his receiving abilities. He's smooth, He's a reliable pass catcher
out of Stanford. The tape and the stats align with
him being possibly down the stretch NFL cree arc a
starting tight end or in.
Speaker 2: Tandem with Colson Lovelin.
Speaker 1: There's also a very interesting athletic profile for Sam Rouche
at six six seven with a four point seven forty
thirty eight and havas vertical and ten foot six inch
broad jump. So again, unfortunately, landing spot is not ideal. However,
just like Max Claire. If Sam Rousch is available to
me in a tight end premium format, and I have
done so in the mid to light fourth multiple times
already in my drafts, I'm going to take that shot
and see if his long term upside can prevail in
Ben Johnson's offense. And the good thing about Sam Rousch
is that that could have cost you the expective price
tag that Claire will. Claire's again ADP hovering mostly in
the third round. I've seen some data in the second
whereas Rausch is a fourth or fifth rounder in terms
of dynas ADP. Another loser in value I see is
Elijah Sarrat to the Baltimore Ravens fourth round one, P.
Fifteen overall, He's twenty two to twenty three to May
he say Flowers with Shot Bateman, another pier out of
USC that's a rookie Jakobe Lane, Devontes Walker.
Speaker 2: It's not a loaded wideout room. There's opportunity.
Speaker 1: The issue I have is that Elijah was viewed as
a probable Day two pick out of Indiana, who's a
touchdown machine in school, who then slid a day three
after the Ravens instead elected to draft Kobe Lane in
the third round, so we should be in a sense
prioritizing what the Ravens did. Lane, however, is cheaper for
the most part in Dynasty ADP than Elijah Surrat to date,
so time will tell how that shapes up. It's going
to take at least a season or two of usage
and data sample size to make that decision. More on
Elijah thirty one receiving touchdowns with both games Madison and Indiana.
My NFL comp pre draft was and still remains Keenan Allen.
In the best case scenario, I see similar usage in
terms of perimeter and slot work on the horizon for Serrat,
not to mention his fluidity as a route runner post
catch abilities to manufacture yardage both and after the catch points.
Speaker 2: The only thing with.
Speaker 1: Elijah's profile is the uncertain speed at four point five
to three with the forty at six two to two ten,
but again that screens Keenan Allen.
Speaker 2: Allen is not known for his speed.
Speaker 1: It's the savviness in football IQ to be a solid
contributor at the pro level. The issue here is that
the Ravens needed help at wide out, Flowers being the
alpha in the room, but Bateman, Lane Walker. There are
other pieces here in play, So Elijah Surratt is a
question mark at best, and I've heard his name pronounced
on film as surat answer Rat, So I guess we'll
have to wait and see how the Ravens commentary pronounce him,
or if he comes.
Speaker 2: Out in States. It's a specific way, but just wanting
to throw that out there.
Speaker 1: Another rookie value loser is Mike Washington Junior to the
Las Vegas Raiders Day three pick fourth round, pick one,
twenty two. Overall, he's twenty two, twenty three and July.
In terms of depth chart, it's not the worst ninety spot.
We were hoping for an immediate path to an RBBC
or even starter quality reps for Washington Junior. Not the
case with Ashing genty In the fold now, Mike Washington
Junior gained plenty of Day one buzz, but ultimately stead
of Day three with now an inside track to RB
two duties behind us genty, But make no mistake, barn injury,
Washington Junior is not a threat to Genti's workload. It's
going to be more of you'd soome or Project seventy
three sixty forty split the intrigue of Washington Junior still
remains the athletic profile sixty one two twenty three with
superb speed four point three three forty and then role wise,
when I'm seeing and why I'm going to take a
gamb on Washington for the most part in the third
round of rookie drafts is a more athletic version of
Tyler Algier and what he was to Atlanta behind b
John Robinson could see a similar role or situation for
Mike Washington Junior alongside or behind a tandem with asking
gent so sure value loser we're hoping for day one
or day to draft capital didn't happen Day three in
Lands in an opportunity driven backfield, but not again the
starter work that we were hoping for. Time for a
quick breakwap back with four more rookie value losers to
round up this week's show.
Speaker 2: Be right back.
Speaker 1: Let's discuss Bryce Lance to the Saints Day three, pick fourth,
rown one thirty six overall, He's twenty three, twenty four
in August.
Speaker 2: It's a crowded room in terms of wide out depth.
Speaker 1: Chris Olave, Jordan Tyson, if they pan out, Devon Valet
Jalen Polk, so at best, it seems Bryce Lance could
push for wide receiver three status or duties. Bryce generated
plenty of day two buzz, but did not hear his
name call until Day three, and that's probably because of
level competition North Dakota State to the NFL level. We've
seen it time and time again, as not always translates yet.
Bryce Lance is well worth a flyer in the third
or fourth round of rookie drafts as a bet on
athleticism sixty.
Speaker 2: Four to two four four point three four forty.
Speaker 1: Simply put, he's giving Christian Watson vibes from the same
school and same field, stretching game breaking speed ability. The
big play upside is baked in, and with Kellen Moore
generating play calls as well as the surprising emergence of
Tyler Schuck, Bryce Lance makes for a solid mid round selection,
but in terms of what he could have been a
Day two pick landing in a possible starter role, he's
a post draft value loser. Emmett Johnson to the Kansas
City Chiefs fifth round one sixty one overall. I was
and I still remain a fan of mc johnson. A
skill set, it's well rounded. It's three down upside. He's
twenty two twenty three in October. However, we all know
that Kenneth Walker was a priority for the Chiefs to
replace Picchecko and Kareem Hunt, not to mention still as
Depp Rishard Smith and Amaro Dei Mercado. So Emmic Johnson
is a favorite inside of Dinas community, but until we
see a role in the NFL of the Chiefs, he
is a more patient hold than a start out of
the gate. Now, the Chiefs are an ideal end spot,
although day three draft capital is not equally exciting. However,
Kansas City reportedly are super high on Johnson after trading
up from the fifth round. Apparently had a third round
grade on him, and we're shocked he was still available
in the fifth hence why they traded up. Now, all
that to be said, Emma Johnson is a value loser,
sort of like Mike Washington junior, because we were hoping
for a situation or opportunity where he could be the
front end of an RBBC or at least have a
clearer path.
Speaker 2: To rookie playing time.
Speaker 1: He was the only player to average more than hundred
three yards of scrimage of college football lat season, which
is a testament or example of what he can do
with ample volume. However, if Kenneth Walker remains healthy, it's
hard to envision a significant workload for em mc johnson
with the Chiefs. But this is a long term play
and Emma Johnson is easily one of my favorite third
round targets in all formats for rookie drafts, but post
draft loser because of the draft capital and immediate situation.
Garrett Nusmeyer sticking here at the Chiefs seventh round, picked
two forty nine overall, twenty four years old. Patrick Mahomes
justin fields are a top the depth charts. The shaker
hears that nuss Meyer slid a Day three as a
widely assumed Day two pick, so we're thinking second third
round as a developmental prospect. However, the fall became evident
or there was an answer for it, because he had
test done that revealed assist on his spine that was
pressing on a nerve and explains the abdomen and ongoing
oblique pain he dealt with at LSUN twenty twenty five,
which led to a down turn in production. Nus Meyer
easily could have declared last year and probably been a
Day two or earlier Day three pick. Alas here we
are and nus Meyer is now that's going to be
a backup or long term replacement to Mahomes. But with
barely drafted capital here seventh rown approaching UDFA territory, this
is a superflex stash. He is undoubtedly a value loser
and unless you have Mahomes or Fields, doesn't make a
whole lot of sense to get excited about nuss Meyer
side of a fourth or fifth round selection in rookie
drafts for donactee purposes and last but not least, one
more value loser this one. I was a bit surprised
about Dion Burks to the Colts seventh brown two for
the four overall, he's twenty three at the very least
there's opportunity knocking on this cold step chart. Alec Pearce
Josh Downs will throw in Ashton Doolan. Not much to
get excited about after Michael Pittman was shipped away the Pittsburgh.
The surprise here, though, is that Burkes shockingly slid to
the end of the Day three despite being graded for
the most part, is a Day two prospect. There is
a chance he crushes that draft evaluation or pedigree draft
capital on this cold step charts, but the fact that
he was near undrafted territory is concerning for Burke's in
the NFL. Does that mean that decision makers and those
who know best think that his five to nine lady
frame is not equipped for success in the NFL? The
athletic profile of Berks, which is above the nine percent
tile for wide receivers this year, speaks otherwise.
Speaker 2: Four point three forty.
Speaker 1: Forty two and a half vertical on a ten foot
eleven x broad So there's zero question about athletic traits
for the Yoklahoma product. It's can he be more than
a special teams or slot threat with the Colts? Will
he be wide receiver three or have a chance to
do so alongside Pierson downs Those are question marks. I'm
totally fine allocating a fifth round pick and donee drafts
this offseason two Burks.
Speaker 2: However, the draft capital is very discouraging.
Speaker 1: When pre draft he's receiving grades as high as Day
two in the second of third rounds and he barely
made it on Day three. That will do it up.
