And what went down with all of the action from round one of the NFL Draft?

Speaker 2:
[00:59] And gentlemen, we do have Las Vegas Raiders on the clock. They finished 3-14 in 2025, last in the AFC West. This season, they've replaced Pete Carroll and company with Clint Toobyak, fresh off calling that Super Bowl for the Seattle Seahawks. They also had the Max Crosby deal accepted, reversed, and they literally found the agency kind of in between there. Their team needs, of course, quarterback, wide receiver, offensive tackle, and defensive tackle. This is one of their 10 picks in this draft. Andy, obviously, Fernando Mendoza is going to be the pick. I mean, you would all have to think. But my question to you is, how do you see him from a fantasy standpoint, whether that's dynasty or redraft dependent?

Speaker 3:
[01:39] Yeah, this is one of those situations where I got to know what that receiving room looks like. So it is just very difficult to spin immediately. I like Mendoza. I think maybe a ceiling projection for Mendoza looks a little bit like, I don't know, Matt Ryan. Do people consider that an insult? I don't mean like the late stage Matt Ryan, stage Matt Ryan. I mean like the good Matt Ryan who won an MVP and went to a Super Bowl. I think Mendoza is very legit, certainly looks the part, a work ethic guy, like everything about him. It is the worst collection of wide receivers that I can maybe remember coming into a draft. It is a bad receiving room outside of Bowers. We know they have an answer at center, we know they have an answer at running back, at tight end, and they have almost everything else is an open question on this team. They need a lot, but this receiving room is a mess. I really want to see what that looks like at the end of this thing.

Speaker 2:
[02:40] They have an earlier second round pick, Derek, where they could address that. We talked with EJ Snyder a couple of weeks ago, and he was actually really bullish on Jack Besh, that he's potentially someone Clint Kubiak could use strategically. But it's really just Beck, it's Trey Tucker, it's a couple of guys, it's nothing flashy right now, Derek. So would you like them to use one of those day two picks also on a wide receiver for Fernando?

Speaker 4:
[03:01] Oh, absolutely. And yeah, look, you look where the Raiders have their picks. I mean, obviously, the first one overall is going to Mendoza, but then they've got their second, the third round pick. They have three fourth round picks. So the other thing is, are they live to take one of those fourths and maybe jump up from the third to the second or something like that? Where they address multiple needs in a sweet spot of this draft. But we've also kind of talked about, while a lot of people don't love this draft class, one of the strengths of this draft class, depending on how you feel about it, can be the wide receiver position. There's a lot of guys in that round three area, maybe some of them dipped around four, where I think that the Raiders could draft one, maybe two wide receivers here. And I'm not saying that Jalen Naylor is amazing, but I think that he could be a serviceable guy for them as-

Speaker 2:
[03:48] Sure.

Speaker 4:
[03:49] If they draft a guy in round two, and he could be the wide receiver two, considering Bowers is going to be the one in the offense, and then Naylor filing in as the three, and then what do you get out of other guys? And I also kind of wonder, is this team not done in the sense of like, Jawan Jennings is still out there on the open market and a few other wide receivers. So, you know, this is also a team, I think, like their wide receiver depth chart could look a lot different after the draft and prior to week one.

Speaker 2:
[04:15] That's a great point. That is certainly a great point. We still have guys like Stefan Diggs, if he's going to be active this season, Ty Recale unsigned. Yeah. So definitely some veteran wide receivers that we would not expect to be free agents at this time, but they certainly are. And Derek, looks like we do have the pick in here. Lots of hugs, lots of congratulations there in the Raiders room. When do you expect to see Fernando Mendoza this year? Is this something that you expect Kirk Cousins to maybe play the first month, play the first six weeks, or do you think it is Fernando from the jump?

Speaker 4:
[04:45] I don't think it's Fernando from the jump. I think that the Raiders have been very diligent. Brady's talked about this. I think we're going to see Kirk Cousins, and depending on, I think the big thing for Kirk Cousins and how long he's going to start is how well he plays. If he goes out here and he plays well, I think there's an easy outcome where we easily could see like Mendoza gets Petra Holmes in his rookie season. So is that like the median outcome? No, but it's a possibility. I easily could see it happen. I think a lot of this comes down to with Cousins now in the fall and on the dev chart and being the veteran presence, they're not going to rush Mendoza. There is no pressure to start him, even if the Raiders start freaking 0-8. Like yes, the fan base will be calling for Mendoza, but considering where Kubiak, I think they're giving a long leash here. I don't think they're going to listen to all the fans calling for Mendoza to start. I think they're going to wait until he's ready. Whether that's this season or maybe 2027, I think nothing is really off the page here.

Speaker 2:
[05:45] OK, and the pick is in, and it is Fernando Mendoza, quarterback at IU. Maybe one of the best stories, not just in college football of the past decade, but maybe all of the sport, right? He takes Indiana University to National Championship. Kurt Signecki, a guy that I know very well from my alma mater, IUP, coaches him there. He comes from Cal 65 to 25, elite efficiency, 68.5% career completion rate, top 15 all time, added seven rushing touchdowns, Heisman Trophy winner. Andy, do you think there's any way that Fernando can flop or do you think it's like, hey, if we build that receiver room, if we continue to add to the line, he should have a successful career?

Speaker 3:
[06:23] Yeah, I think the only way that he would flop is if the team really fails him, right? Okay. They don't build out the receiving core the way they should. They don't protect him the way they should. I mean, it's, it doesn't even, it's not a criticism of Mendoza to say, wow, was that guy well protected at the college level, right? And so sometimes that is, that is a difficult thing to assess when you're trying to project a guy into the NFL. But he, I mean, he checked every box for me in terms of like that the balls he's able to throw, like some of the big boy NFL throws that we've already seen him make some pretty sophisticated stuff. I like that's, that's the funny thing to me about Kirk Cousins being there is that Mendoza, I don't know what his ceiling is, but I think he can play right now. Like it wouldn't, if you put him in the right environment, I think he can play right now. So I, but I also agree with Debra. Like there, there is definitely a universe out there in which he doesn't play at all as a rookie. And Kirk Cousins is fine and they find their way to six or seven wins. And you know, it's an, the whole team is an unfinished product. So we don't, we don't see him early in the season. We don't see him at all, but I think he's pretty ready. And I think the floor for Mendoza is actually very high.

Speaker 2:
[07:37] But yeah, I love everything he's got going on between the helmets, man. No one, I feel like works harder out there in college football the past year or two and Fernando Mendoza. So great story. And yes, I believe it is Jeremiah Lowe running back.

Speaker 4:
[07:53] Wow. And he's okay.

Speaker 2:
[07:56] Making the, making the big splash here. This is really a home run hitting prospect. A media impact RB one upside for fantasy football purposes, six foot, 212 pounds, ran a sub four for 1300 rushing yards, 21 total touchdowns this past season already had 1100 yards, 19 touchdowns the year before Doak Walker award winner, All-American. I mean, this is the type of prospect though, if you are going to pay up Andy and a top three pick, it is Jeremiah love. But what does it mean for fantasy? What does it do because it kind of takes the value of not only James Connor, but all those Trey Benson shares people have been hanging on to and then anyone invested in Tyler Algier already as well.

Speaker 3:
[08:37] What a wild ride for Tyler Algier in a relatively short period. Comes in, impresses. He didn't do anything wrong as a rookie. Like he was really good. Was he Bijon Robinson? No, he wasn't Bijon Robinson. So they add him. He escapes that and now he's greeted by Jeremiah Love, who's really good. I'm not really settled on the issue of, I know that Jeremiah Love didn't have a lot of games with 20 carries, whatever. He wasn't like that full workload, grind him to dust, running back at the college level. I don't know that he can't do it. I think they just had two great backs. I think it was a little bit of that last year. This is a little bit unfortunate for Jeremiah Love. I still think he holds a lot of value. I still think he's somebody who, frankly, I'm probably not going to get. I'm rarely as enthusiastic about the top rookie running back as Consensus, so I may not get him, but I still see why he should be ranked inside, I don't know, is it the top 12? Now is it the top 14? This isn't ideal. I think Algeria is going to play and I think Algeria is really good.

Speaker 2:
[09:45] So, Dibro, we've had him outside the top 25 of the FantasyPros ECR rankings, but best ball, especially over on Underdog, he has been going closer to that 1-2 turn. Where are you going to be comfortable investing in him at all, if you are at all, here in 2026 redraft leagues?

Speaker 4:
[10:01] I'll take him as a second round pick. I'm fine with it. Like, I mean, if they're taking him third overall, they're saying with their chest loudly he's going to get the freaking ball. And could this be like a Jameer Gibbs situation where everybody's willing to like, you know, grab the pitchforks, light them on fire by week five. It's like Algier gets a two touchdown game in like, you know, week two or something like, sure. But I think you're betting on talent. And to Andy's point, like, yeah, they didn't run him into the ground. Like that's a wonderful thing. And I'm not worried about his volume expectations or upside in the NFL. If anything, he comes to the NFL without a lot of mileage. Or if they did run him into the ground in college, we'd be having the Jonathan Taylor conversation of yesteryear of like how many carries are too many carries. And so I think the one thing I'll say about Arizona, well, like I think it's kind of insane to take him considering the Constitution of your roster. The other thing I will say is that LaFleur, like how he wants to run this, you know, however we want to connect the dots of him being around teams and offenses and it running through the running back and a guy that could play all three downs past game weapon and all those kinds of things. So, you know, the connection can be made there. But the other thing about this is if they are truly and we all kind of believe that they are, if they are the Ty Simpson team too. If you want to set Ty Simpson up or whoever is going to start here for any type of success. I mean, okay, fine. The office of line. Okay. Like it's good, but it's not great. You got Michael Wilson. You got Marvin Ayrson Jr. You got Trey McBride. You got Jeremiah Love. I mean, I it's, you're, you're, you're hitting a lot of easy buttons for the quarterback. A lot of easy buttons.

Speaker 2:
[11:49] Yep. And we're seeing right now in the chat, Mr. Grim, all the Algiers shares he has acquired, pour one out for our brother. But the Titans pick is in and it turns out it is going to be Carnell Tate wide receiver out of Ohio State. A little bit of a shocker here, but I mean, should it really be because this is your classic boundary alpha type of wide receiver wins, deep wins in contested situations, six, two, six, three, dependent on the day, one 92 strong wide receiver, two role for the Ohio State Buckeyes this past year. But he played with small time greats, whether it was Jeremiah Smith, arguably one of the best wide receiver prospects we've seen in college ball, in the history of it, or whether it was the year before Mecca, Bucca, he's played with Tyler Ennis, some pretty dang good tight ends there as well. But last two years of production, 100 plus reception, 1600 plus receiving yards, 13 touchdowns, all big 10 player. Derek, how do you like the fit? And what does this mean for fantasy football purposes?

Speaker 4:
[12:48] Well, first of all, I'm loving this because I gave out prior to this show. I hope people went and bet it. Carnell Tate under seven and a half for the draft position.

Speaker 5:
[12:56] Squadron, let's go.

Speaker 4:
[12:58] As well as if you were following my bets, Carnell Tate at plus 280 to be a top five pick. I did miss on him being the number seven pick, but we're still two and one on just to take the election along, baby. So we're we're the hot streak is still going, dude. And I'm here for it. You need to surround Cam Ward with more weapons. What do you get out of Calvin really at this stage of his career? Yeah, they signed Wendell Robinson, Ellic had flashes, although brief and very infrequent. Shamira, DK, like, what are you getting out of him? So like now they're going to field like a starting lineup of like, whether it's Gunnar Helm or whoever at tight end, probably Helm as they're starting tight end. Calvin Ridley, Wendell Robinson and freaking Colonel Tate. Like, yes, you're, you were putting Cam Ward in a spot to succeed in year two. I'm here for this, man. I'm absolutely here for this. And I thought it could be an outcome for him because yes, like everybody was like, oh, Bob Salva is going to go defense and trench and stuff like that. This was also the same head coach that oversaw them selecting Breece Hall and then selecting Garrett Wilson in round one. So I think this is an incredibly, because incredibly smart selection in the sense of you look at where he spent a ton of money this off season. It was all on the defensive side of the ball outside of Wendell Robinson. So this also gives, while we've all been also talking, not only the Tate stuff, but the fallout of Tony Pollard. I think you look at him as safe. Like Jeremiah Love is not there. Tony Pollard is going to be the guy getting the freaking rock. And he's going to be a rock sell at RB too. And what's going to be a massively improved offense this year.

Speaker 2:
[14:33] Andy, I do like this fit for Cam Ward. I think it boosts his value. I like it for the Titans overall. However, we have a guy on this team in Wondale Robinson who has eaten up some of the most targets we've seen in the NFL the past two seasons, working with his former head coach and Brian Gable as the OC there in Tennessee. So does this maybe complicate matters a little bit for Cardinal Tate as a rookie breakout?

Speaker 3:
[14:57] Wow, if if Wondale Robinson is the guy who really complicates things for him, then he's not clear that I think he is. I'm not even trying to insult Wondale. I think he's good in his role. I think they're going to complement each other really well. I think Tate can be a star. Was this the dream scenario? I feel like it was D-Bro in the half hour before I came on that projected Tate to Washington. Obviously, that would be a home run for FantasyPros. We love it. That got me a little excited right before I came on. But so we don't get that. But man, I love to see a team build around a talented young quarterback. I love to see a team invest around Cam Ward. This is, I like this a lot because I kind of, I mean, Cam Ward had a lot of the usual rookie quarterback problems last year. You know, the timing of things is different in the NFL and you just don't have as long to throw as you think you do. And he had the issues that we commonly see. He also put balls on hands a lot in scenarios where like, catches weren't made and they weren't, they didn't always get classified as drops, but like-

Speaker 6:
[16:08] His dad was tweeting about it.

Speaker 2:
[16:09] His dad made sure we knew about it.

Speaker 3:
[16:11] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh gosh, that's right, he did. But like, I thought he was sneaky good and I think there's a lot there. And I think Tate can be an absolute star. So I love what they're doing around him.

Speaker 4:
[16:23] Cam Ward will be the basically everybody's sleeper quarterback this year. Andy Wright, he's going to be. He'll be the poster boy for every sleeper article.

Speaker 3:
[16:32] Yeah, I think that's exactly right. And he's not, you know, does he have the rushing upside that we chase? No, not necessarily, but you want to talk about somebody who could make a huge leap in year two. I mean, it's screaming at you right now.

Speaker 4:
[16:44] Yep. Everybody's going to draw the parallels to Caleb Williams and stuff of last year.

Speaker 2:
[16:49] Be prepared, I will say, to just take Carnell Tate potentially like probably top 36, top 48. This is where always the rookie wide receiver one usually get, I mean, at the end of the August redraft season was definitely in that conversation as well. So Saints still on the clock. The main NFL network broadcast went to a commercial. So we're going to skip in front of them a little bit. We're going to skip the line here. We're just going to give you a pick. It is Jordan Tyson as we were kind of alluding to there. So Jordan Tyson is the pick for the New Orleans Saints. Derek, a pleasant reaction from you. You're a little bit lower than I think consensus has been on Tyson as a prospect, but I know injury certainly went into account with that.

Speaker 4:
[17:29] Well, yeah, I was lower on Tyson as a prospect because I see the areas of his game where he could still improve in and where I don't think he's a perfect player, you know, even outside of the injury risk. So, I mean, but with the Saints, like this fits a need, man. And the other part about this with Tyson is the upside is definitively there, like, although I do have worries and there are some holes in his game, like where he's not a great yack producer, his play strength at the catch point has to be more consistent. But you see the high-end reps from him and he's not going to be tasked with being a wide receiver one in the Saints offense. I mean, they have the ability considering like you have Jawan Johnson there, you have Chris Alave there, they can kind of ease him into all of this. So, I mean, considering the need and the fit, and then you're talking about Kellan Moore, like Jordan Tyson probably sees like 40% of his routes from the slot this year. And I think that is definitely going to help him because the strong point of his game is the hip fluidity is just ridiculous. Like his ability to change directions on a dime is one of his superpowers. So if they're going to play a Lave on the perimeter and put Tyson into the slot, and as well as get some reps on the perimeter, this is a really good fit, man. Really good fit.

Speaker 2:
[18:44] Andy, does that mean that Jordan Tyson might come in somewhere and redraft rankings around that six, seven round? I feel like we're a lot of these non-premium rookie wide receivers that are sometimes boxed in by veterans land. Does that sound about right to you? Where do you think he shakes up maybe in some Superflex Dynasty rookie drafts as well?

Speaker 3:
[19:01] Yeah, it does. I think he complements a Lave really well, and I think Bro got into that. He can play in the slot, he can play the Z. He's just going to complement a Lave really well. I think you probably have the right range. Round 6, when I say it, sounds a little early, but 6-7 is probably the right range. I think he's a really talented player who's going to be... This is the best use for him, and this is a great environment for him, and man, this boosts Shuck a little bit too. Again, I don't want to over-hype Shuck. I don't think he's a perfect quarterback by any means, but I was surprised by him last year. He was perfectly functional. This is a pretty good one too.

Speaker 2:
[19:42] Yeah, I'm really happy.

Speaker 4:
[19:44] He's probably a wide receiver three-ish type as far as redraft rankings. Off the cuff, I feel like that's where he's going to be in that wide receiver late 20s, high 30s range in redraft.

Speaker 3:
[19:57] Yeah, I think he's going to be... Ideally, with a player like this, a rookie like this, you'd want to say, well, as long as I can draft him as somebody who I don't absolutely have to start, I think you're going to have to get a little uncomfortable with the price. I think you're going to have to draft him in a spot where he's probably a locked-in starter for you. He's probably your third-wide receiver. He's probably a flex. But again, I think it's a pretty rich environment. I think it is a very well-constructed offense just in terms of the skill position players and how they're going to complement one another. I think it's a great landing spot for him.

Speaker 4:
[20:30] Well, that's a good call out too because the first ridiculous catch he makes in training camp hype video season is going to bump him up like another round or two.

Speaker 6:
[20:40] We know how this goes, guys.

Speaker 2:
[20:42] We've seen Kellan Moore get the career started of some really great wide receiver, CD. Lam when he was back in Dallas. He's resurrected the career then of Keenan Allen a couple of years ago in Los Angeles. Then Chris Olave a year ago. I will say with this though.

Speaker 4:
[20:55] He did crush QJ though. Let's be honest about that.

Speaker 2:
[20:57] Sure.

Speaker 4:
[20:58] He did crush QJ. Let's keep it a buck here.

Speaker 2:
[21:01] Fair point. Fair point to add to his resume. I will say though, I think now this makes Chris Olave completely off my board. He was already at the price where I thought we were paying for him at a ceiling. And if that price, I'm sure it will come down a little bit. But he was a late second round pick in draft again. And that was always the ceiling for Chris Olave. I've fought with this over a couple beers with Pat Fitzmaurice a few times at the Expo. I think that's it. I just feel like now we might still be paying that. And the pick is in and it is Ty Simpson quarterback out of Alabama. And I so wish I bet this because this is what I thought from the very beginning. Well, I think the interesting thing here is you look at Ryan Grubb's offensive system and it's always been a bit hit or miss, right? And there's no denying that this was one of the worst Russian games in the country, man. They jammed Miller. He came back late in the season. He got concussed early when he came back and they still never really had it. And you watch like the Iron Bowl and Ty Simpson willed them to that win. Ends up finishing in the SEC this past season, leads them in past attempts, completions thrown for over 3,500 yards, 28 total touchdowns as well. And like, I don't think the arm is elite Derek, but I still think there's some really good things going on here with Ty Simpson, specifically between the helmet. I've said it on the NFL Draft Show. If he lands with the Rams, he is a top 5, top 6 pick in Rookie Draft because what he can do in Sean McVeigh's offense, I think the ceiling is the limit. This is a dream landing spot.

Speaker 4:
[22:31] Well, y'all can take him. I don't want him. I understand betting on the Rams and betting on all those things. The other thing that we cannot discount. Okay, how do you feel about that pick if when Stafford goes, Sean McVeigh also goes and he goes to the broadcasting booth? Because can we rule that out? I don't think we can. We've heard that rumored like how many different years in a row. So I think this could set the Rams up well. That's if they hit on this pick. Like I just think there's so many glaring red flags like, you know, and I know Alfredo was higher than I am. Like I was just not a fan of his film. Like even before the back injury, like I thought it was up and down. I thought his ball placement was okay. I think that, you know, the belief in Ty Simpson is more of what he has between the ears and, you know, as a processor and things like that. And as far as like as a talent. So I just I look at all the glaring red flags about Ty Simpson, the short starting stuff, like the stature, the injuries, everything in between, and the fact that he fell off down the back half of his only starting season. If this works out for the Rams, kudos. I still think it's a absolutely horrible pick.

Speaker 2:
[23:42] Alfredo, tell us what you're seeing in Ty Simpson that maybe our friend Derrick Brown isn't. He's certainly thrown some pretty good wide receivers, the Jeremy Bernards, the Ryan Williams, even though he regressed, and of course, Isaiah Horton. So what do you think he brings to the Rams offense?

Speaker 6:
[23:56] Yeah, I actually there looks like they're going to be posting it now. Just a moment. I just wrote a whole scouting report on Ty Simpson for Reception Perception, which will be up very soon. Totally free for everybody. One of the things I talked about is that like a lot of a lot. There's maybe too much ado about his 15 starts because 15 starts in Alabama is a lot different than 15 starts anywhere else, where he's running a lot of pro concepts. He's getting the opportunity to be under center. He's getting the opportunity to call protections at the line of scrimmage. He's he's able to really, I mean, do a lot of things that are pro concepts that you don't typically see. I mean, let's talk about how he's one. He's a great fit for this McVeigh offense. He's great throwing the run, being able to run some actual play action to be able to hit dagger, dagger concepts, hit the backside dig. That's something that we didn't see a lot from a guy like Fernando Mendoza, who really struggled over the middle of the field. That's something that we typically see. I'm saying all these things because when a quarterback like this, who doesn't have a lot of starts, gets in a training camp, now he's got to learn how to take a snap from under center. He's got to figure out that footwork. He's got to get better at throwing on the run. He's got to be better at throwing and hitting over the middle, beating zone coverage. Ty Simpson saw zone coverage more than any other quarterback in the FBS. So he is a guy that despite the starts and the surface level stuff, there are so many other things underneath that you go, actually the 15 starts at Alabama is kind of like 20 starts or 25 starts at a lesser school that didn't quite do all the same things that he got to do there.

Speaker 2:
[25:21] Do you think you'll keep him right in that 5-6 discussion for your Superflex rookie rankings, Alfredo?

Speaker 6:
[25:26] Absolutely. I mean, to me, the vote of confidence from not only Sean McVay and the Rams organization, but the fact that they had traded away their other first round pick. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, that's it. Like they know that this is the guy that they are investing in. It's definitely vindicating on my end being someone who liked the film. Debra, I know I'm sorry.

Speaker 4:
[25:47] No, that's fine. We can push back. Like, look, if we turn over the cards and I'm totally wrong in two to three years, I will eat the L. Totally happily eat the L. Like I just, you know, and I like the back and forth, like because different processes, man, one of us is going to be right. It's totally fine.

Speaker 2:
[26:06] However, we do have the pick in. And guys, it turns out that a little bit of a shocker here. It is tight end Kenyon Sadiq out of Oregon. So there is Mason.

Speaker 4:
[26:17] And they're going to Jets, baby. Jets are going to. Is this coffin nail for Mason Taylor? What do you think he's doing?

Speaker 2:
[26:25] I think it's, it's a real, it's a real question, Mark Sadiq, a very fun prospect, a guy that actually comes from a little town out in Idaho, had to actually transfer to a different high school just to get his eyes, some scouts eyes on him, but really had a nice 20, 25 breakout season, 51 receptions, 560 yards and eight touchdowns that helped guide Dan Lanning's team to a deep college football playoff run, eventually losing to Indiana in the Peach Bowl. And I'll say what, man, like Sadiq fell off a little bit at the end. We had Johnson really kind of come up, but I think with what he did at the Combine, Kenyon Sadiq and, you know, just that blazing 4.39 second 40, the 9.58 Ras, it makes him feel like he kind of is this guy who could do something at the next level. Alfredo, what are your thoughts on Kenyon Sadiq as a prospect? And then separate that from the landing spot we just found out about.

Speaker 6:
[27:18] So Kenyon Sadiq was my tight end too, which I know is a little controversial in this rookie class. I just I didn't see a guy who was fully developed as a tight end. And I know we love the relative athletic score, and that is always necessary when we want a good tight end, especially for fantasy. Yeah, he's a better blocker than I think people give him credit for. But I didn't see a guy that had very clean routes. I didn't see the guy that had the proper ideal spatial awareness that I typically look for. That's a big thing for me when I'm looking at past catchers. If you don't know where you are on the chessboard and what you're supposed to be, I don't typically love that. And then I think too is especially just a transition to what this landing spot is. Now, you're going to the Jets. It's exactly what I just said. It's the flash without the substance right now. Like they are they're putting Tabasco sauce on a ham and cheese sandwich. It's just for the heck of it. That's they go out and they draft the tight end that runs a 4-3. And it's like, but you had you had a tight end. You got him in the second round last year. And then you're like, hey, Gino Smith's going to take us to the promised land. I don't understand it. He's going to remain my tight end to in this rookie class. I don't love it.

Speaker 2:
[28:33] And are you also a Stowers over Sadiq guy?

Speaker 6:
[28:35] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[28:37] No, that's the only thing I've heard in that entire conversation.

Speaker 2:
[28:42] Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 6:
[28:43] Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 2:
[28:47] Well, I'm glad to hear that. Derek, what is your thought process behind this pick for the Jets? Because for me, it kind of just feels like that maybe they didn't want Ty Simpson here at 16 and they're a little, you know, jumped out of the room that the Rams went up and got him. So what are your thoughts here? Do you like the fit? Do you not like the fit? You seem a little distraught.

Speaker 4:
[29:08] This is idiotic. This is absolutely idiotic, which I guess is par for the course for the Jets. But why in the everloving hell did you draft Mason Taylor with a second round pick and he was your starter and you believe in him and you're going to go draft Kenyon Sadiq? Basically, you're just saying last year's pick, we're just burning that, toss it in the trash can. And this is what it comes down to when everybody has all the hope and the hype of saying, hey, this team has all these picks, they're going to be good, except when the team is stupid and they suck, then they're going to burn all the equity.

Speaker 6:
[29:43] Tell us how you feel, man.

Speaker 4:
[29:44] I mean, but seriously, I'm not even a Jets fan, but I feel for Jets fans here. Like there's so many other places you can go with this pick that makes sense for where this roster is, what you need here, like take a wide receiver, take a cornerback, even take freaking Colton Hood, fine. All of that, a tight end. When you invested a second round pick in one last year, what are we doing here, man? Like what in the everloving hell are we doing here? Just grab AG, shove him in a freaking basket and fire him into the sun. Forget this, burn it down. Forget this whole season. Forget all the picks. The GM is garbage. I'm sorry for Jets fans. This is horrible.

Speaker 2:
[30:27] All of a sudden Alfredo, it's making you and I look like some of the smarter analysts in the building because I think now depending on where that we do ultimately see Eli Stowers land right now, the over under for his draft position 40 and a half and get about plus 200 right now. So good odds. If you, if you want to take that anything, maybe someone does reach up for Stowers. However, like I think now this complicates matters for Sadiq not only short term, but it's also not like the Mason Taylor is a veteran, right? He's a guy who just was drafted last season as Derrick is continuing to go on about.

Speaker 6:
[30:58] Yeah, I mean, what they're probably going to be doing here is Mason Taylor is going to be your classic inline Y tight end. And you're going to have Kenyon Sadiq be the move guy and be sort of the H back, the John who Smith. And that's been like one of my comps for him as well. General Everett was another comp that I had for Kenyon Sadiq. And I just that's where we're going to be. It's going to be another Isaiah likely. That's a lot of fun, has some athleticism. And then you're just like, well, where are the big games?

Speaker 4:
[31:23] So avoid him in rookie drafts. That's all I heard, Alfredo.

Speaker 2:
[31:26] Yes, there's I was already avoiding a cost, honestly.

Speaker 4:
[31:28] I mean, but seriously, like this is one of those picks that if you were like me and you were like, hey, like the rookie drafts might not be like this. I have hope for this class. This is one of those landing spots and picks where you're just like, well, crap. If you got the 108 in your league or the 109 or something like that, now you're just like, well, that's lovely. Cool. Except it's not. And it's horrible. And now I want to throw up.

Speaker 6:
[31:53] You say that he was he was the 110 in my Super Flex rookie rankings.

Speaker 4:
[31:57] Wow.

Speaker 2:
[31:58] OK. OK. I was I was very close there. Yeah.

Speaker 7:
[32:02] The Eagles trade up. You just mentioned him, Bogman, Makai Lemon. We've been wondering maybe a little bit why he's fallen. I thought there was a chance he could go a lot earlier than this. And it looks like that's who the Eagles are trading up for is Lemon. They trade with the Cowboys. The trade is Eagles get picked 20 and a seventh rounder. Dallas is getting picked 23. So moving down three spots and they're getting picks 114 and 137 to make this move. But Bogman, like I said, you just mentioned Lemon. He's been in the top five of our Superflex, Rookie Mox this whole way through in that elite tier of receivers. But he goes 12 spots lower than those other two guys.

Speaker 8:
[32:37] The lowest who will run first team.

Speaker 7:
[32:39] To a first team and a team that is very soon going to have a need at receiver, even if it maybe technically hasn't happened yet. So what does it say to you? Just first of all about Lemon, just the draft capital alone about, does this say to you that he should be now the fifth pick in Superflex Rookie Draft as opposed to, we had him third or fourth in some of ours?

Speaker 8:
[32:59] I don't know if I've decided on that quite yet. But I guess it's the interviews because he was great. He was great at USC and he was number one on my board. I don't know if I'm going to have him as my number one wide receiver still. But I don't know, it's a weird fit. They have some skinny guys there, him and Devante now. So it's a fine pick. This is great for Jalen Hurts. I'll say that because with AJ Brown gone, I was concerned. I had the people killed me for my take on Jalen Hurts getting out from Jalen Hurts now because I thought they're going to trade AJ Brown. And they still have to trade AJ Brown or else this is a really weird pick. But I think that's going to happen before the night ends. So we'll see what happens there. It's an interesting pick and they moved up to get him, so they must really like him.

Speaker 7:
[33:52] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[33:53] With Dallas, by the way, traded with Dallas.

Speaker 7:
[33:54] With, yeah, team in the division, Fitz. It feels like Levin, he's constantly talked about as this ideal slot receiver archetype in the modern NFL. And it's interesting because Devontae Smith is very small, but he is a guy who can win on the outside. So you could argue that stylistically, even though they look like they shouldn't be a fit, they could actually maybe be an okay fit. I think what's really interesting just from the Dynasty perspective is one of the key points we often talked about when talking about his value is the fact that this is a guy that can catch a ton of passes, and most Dynasty leagues are PPR. In a place like Philly, it starts to get a little harder to imagine him catching enough passes for that to be a differentiating part of the equation when trying to evaluate him. Do you agree with that sentiment, or do you think that that's still on the table as an outcome for him?

Speaker 5:
[34:45] No, because I mean, now AJ Brown is as good as gone. Like he is going to get traded to the New England Patriots, and it's going to be a primary three receiver set of Devontae Smith, Makai Lemon, and I guess Dontavian Wicks. So, yeah, I mean, I think there's going to be plenty of there are going to be target opportunities for Lemon. It just remains to be seen how run heavy the Eagles are. It's probably going to be a top 10 offense in terms of, like, run ratio. So really interesting deal. It's funny where I'm like, people had different takes on how to order Carnel Tate, Jordan Tyson, Makai Lemon. I think after this draft, people are still going to have very different takes about how to order those three wide receivers.

Speaker 7:
[35:34] Yeah, I think we're going to have a lot of fun conversations. I hope everybody tunes in to what you, the three of us are doing a live stream on Saturday. We're doing a bunch of shows next week. There will be a lot of opportunity for us to talk and do some mock drafts and try and sort through that very interesting stretch. Particularly, Kenyon Sadiq, the guys before us were just talking about it with pick 16 to the Jets. He was at the back end, those three receivers, and he was that sixth pick in a few of the mocks we did. Where does he go now that he's with New York? It's going to be a really interesting middle of first rounds, I think. But yeah, the Belenikov winner. Do you agree, Fitz, before we move off Lemon, about this being maybe a boost to Jalen Hurts in terms of how you would view him in Fantasy?

Speaker 5:
[36:18] I don't know about a boost.

Speaker 8:
[36:19] I just like that they're coming away with a weapon, right? They needed a weapon.

Speaker 5:
[36:23] Yeah, we can't say the switch from AJ. Brown to Makai Lemon is going to be a big boost for Jalen Hurts, but it buoys what could have been a kind of a sinking, kind of the sinking fantasy value of Jalen Hurts had he not gotten another weapon to replace Brown.

Speaker 7:
[36:43] By the way, Brown's pick is in, and we're being told it's another ride receiver, so we have the fourth off the board, and it is not Omar Cooper. It's Casey Concepcion. And this is a pick that I'm guessing Dibro quite likes because he was his number two receiver in this class. I don't know how we're going to feel about... I like the player too, and I had actually grown to like him even more kind of throughout this process, and listening to guys like Dibro. But Fitz going to the Browns, I mean, I was worried about Tate going to the Browns, and now you get a lesser receiver, still good prospect, but lesser receiver going to this situation. I mean, it's tough.

Speaker 5:
[37:26] It is tough, you know, not the best situation for Concepcion this year, but either Shadour Sanders is good, or they are going to have the pick of the litter in a good quarterback draft in 2027. And also, Jerry Judy is going to be out of case at Concepcion's way next year. Not that he's necessarily in his way right now. Right, right. But yeah, I mean, I think Concepcion is probably not going to be a fantasy stud this year, but 2027 and beyond, like the table is set nicely for him.

Speaker 7:
[38:06] Bogman, you surprised at all, Concepcion going ahead of Cooper. I mean, there's some drops issues there, but pretty seems like a pretty good player.

Speaker 8:
[38:13] I mock Concepcion to the Browns at this pick a lot, because they need a guy that can stretch the field. They have a big slow guy in Tillman, they have a route guy in Judy, they need a speed guy, they really do. I get to hate him from the cradle to the grave, A&M and the Browns, love that. One of my favorite things that happened.

Speaker 7:
[38:33] I got to say Fano and Concepcion, I'd be pretty happy with that if I'm a pro.

Speaker 8:
[38:39] It's not bad. I probably would have done it.

Speaker 7:
[38:42] Is it an A+++, I don't think so. But I think that's a job well done, especially picking up extra picks from the Chiefs, trading down and getting Fano. I think that's a good day.

Speaker 8:
[38:50] I don't think they took the BPA at either pick, but they took the biggest need at both picks.

Speaker 7:
[38:56] And they took good players even if it wasn't BPA overall. So it's not like they reached, it's not like they took, sorry to knock your guy, he's just the one who comes to my mind, Bogman. It's not like they took Schuyler Bell here to fill a need. It's still a first round receiver that they took even if it's not BPA. Same idea with Fano, still a good tackle.

Speaker 8:
[39:16] You could have said Chris Brazill or Ted Hurst or anybody.

Speaker 7:
[39:18] It was the first one that came to my mind because I'm staring at it probably. I do want to let everybody know that if you haven't tried it yet, the Dynasty Draft Simulator is the fastest way to prep for your rookie drafts. Mock with your league settings and trades and walk into your draft with a plan. Get prepared at fantasypros.com/simulator or on the FantasyPros app. Bogman, we're going to say goodbye to you in a second. Before you go, I need to clear the floor for you on Ty Simpson going 13th to the Rams. We did not get to it yet. Give me a few seconds on Simpson.

Speaker 8:
[39:52] I mean, it's weird. I'll say that. It's not that surprising that they took Simpson. It's surprising that they used 13 to take Simpson. I thought you would trade back in there. But, you know, they have to have a plan. And Stetson Bennett wasn't it. So it's not the worst pick that I've ever seen in a draft. It's not something I would have done. I would have found a way to move back. I would have found a way to do something different. I think it was too early for Ty Simpson. Guy only had a handful of starts in the NFL.

Speaker 7:
[40:23] So we have a comment in here asking who's going to be QB1 Mendoza or Ty. I don't think there's any real debate about that from us.

Speaker 8:
[40:31] Johnny, but I like long term. You love Ty Simpson on the Rams specifically with.

Speaker 7:
[40:38] I think this locks him into a round one pick in Superflex drafts in rookie drafts.

Speaker 8:
[40:42] I think, I think so.

Speaker 7:
[40:44] It does not matter how you feel about the player. I think he simply must be a first round pick in this class now.

Speaker 5:
[40:50] And it's good for him. I mean, like the alternatives for the Cardinals and the Jets.

Speaker 8:
[40:55] And he would have had to start this year for them, for sure.

Speaker 5:
[40:58] Yeah, and I will say this in defense of the Rams with the pick. I know people are going to trash them for this pick, but they're in it to win the Superball this year. They do not expect to have a pick in the top half of the draft in the 2027 draft. So they are not going to be having the lick, would not have had the pick of the litter of quarterbacks next year. Why not take this chance now? I know Boggs and I were able to rattle off like 15 potential first drawn quarterbacks in the 2027 class, but realistically, it's not going to be 15. It's probably going to be more like five.

Speaker 8:
[41:35] Well, look at what happened to this class was supposed to be the expected big quarterback class because a lot of them were eligible and they decided not to come out. Some of them played terribly. So, you know, you take three away out of like the six that are for sure first rounders. And, you know, it is thin and they should have a nice run again. And, you know, they didn't get an extra first round pick in this class like they did from Atlanta last year. So and my buddy, the Falcons fan was very happy that now the Falcons can't be mad about losing that pick because they don't know how good Ty Simpson is going to be for at least the season.

Speaker 7:
[42:13] So by the way, our colleague, Mike Mayer, shares a funny story here that Makai Lemon was on the phone with the Steelers when the Eagles moved in front of Pittsburgh to take him. The Eagles had trouble getting in touch with Lemon because Pittsburgh, who knew the Cowboys were going defense, had already called Lemon. So thinking that the Cowboys are going defense, they thought they had their guy. And then the Eagles went up and got him. That is that's pretty funny. I wonder what Bogman is thinking about that. We'll have to ask him tomorrow, Fitz. What do you think about that story? But but yeah, so Jets obviously are up next year. Obviously, it's not going to be Stowers. Where do you guys think they should go here? I mean, again, we keep talking about Falk falling. Is there another name that got to be Cooper?

Speaker 9:
[43:02] Like they think they talk about Cooper to the Jets, whether it was at not at 2, but at 16 and then at 33. And now they just moved up ahead of a team that also would have taken Omar Cooper probably with the 49ers, but maybe they didn't love him as much as the Jets did. So I think it's probably Cooper.

Speaker 7:
[43:22] Yeah, it feels like it should be. Well, if it is Cooper, Fitz will you start to feel different about their first round? Having made three picks. Yeah, I know you didn't like the way they went with their first two, but will you feel better about them overall?

Speaker 5:
[43:36] A little bit. I mean, I guess it's value on Cooper considering his, well, his over under as of this morning was what? 23.5, 24.5, something like that. It had fallen a little bit. But yeah, a lot of people were mocking Cooper to the Jets at 16. So this helps pick up the pieces of what has been a bad night for them.

Speaker 9:
[44:01] It does. It does make.

Speaker 5:
[44:02] If that's the pack.

Speaker 9:
[44:03] It does. It does significantly hurt Sadiq even more though, because that's what it looks like. It does. So now, because I'm like.

Speaker 7:
[44:10] It is Cooper by the way. Yeah.

Speaker 9:
[44:11] So when I was first looking at Sadiq, I'm like, okay, well, isn't he going to be the number two guy? All there is is Garrett Wilson and I'm not overly concerned about Mason Taylor as like the super special player, but now you're throwing in Omar Cooper to the mix. Okay, now it does really become way too crowded with Geno Smith as the quarterback. So Sadiq is after day one. Again, we have two more picks, but when it comes to winners and losers, Sadiq is clearly a loser in my book of all the places he could have gone, super dynamic tight end. We don't even know who the head coach will be for the Jets next year, how they're going to use Sadiq, who the offensive play caller is going to be next year. So that's it.

Speaker 7:
[44:52] I think it's very easy to paint the picture of Aaron Glenn's getting fired. They're going to draft a quarterback very early next year, and they're going to probably hire an offensive-minded head coach to pair with their young rookie quarterback. So when you get to rookie drafts this year, Fitz, are you going to be drafting Omar Cooper with that in mind, or are you going to be saying, well, listen, that's all projection and assumptions, and right now, he has no real good quarterback situation. He's not the number one receiver in the offense. When Garrett Wilson is healthy, it's not an offensive-minded head coach. It's a pretty rough landing spot for this year that could look a lot better a year from now. How are you going to be approaching him in rookie drafts trying to balance those two positions?

Speaker 5:
[45:36] Yeah, I think we knew Cooper wasn't going to come in and be the alpha receiver anywhere. He was always meant to be a complimentary receiver. It was an ensemble cast at Indiana last year with Cooper and Surat and Charlie Becker. So it's fine that we can have low expectations for him next year, or excuse me, next season, this season, 2026. But 2027, things are going to look brighter when presumably the Jets have a new quarterback. So I'm not too worried about it. He's still going to be a top six receiver. Such a drop off from six to seven that Cooper is still going to be a first round pick in Dynasty drafts.

Speaker 7:
[46:17] We talked about him as early as a wide receiver four in the class though in RookieMox. I feel like that feels pretty tough at this point with the Jets.

Speaker 5:
[46:25] It does. I mean, now Concepcion, I think is clearly ahead of them.

Speaker 7:
[46:29] Maybe Boston depending where he goes.

Speaker 9:
[46:33] Would you be clearly Sadiq? I don't know where you guys were on Sadiq versus Cooper, but is it Sadiq over Cooper clearly now, especially when it just comes to he plays tight end versus wide receiver on the Jets?

Speaker 5:
[46:44] I'm still Cooper over Sadiq if it's not tight end premium.

Speaker 7:
[46:48] Our consensus was in the same tier, Ericsson.

Speaker 9:
[46:50] Yeah. I knew it was close.

Speaker 7:
[46:51] Yeah. I find that to be tricky because I was a little down on Sadiq in general. Not that I hated him. I thought he was a first round tight end, but I was not this over them. I was on our show, Ericsson, with me, Fitz and Bogman, really pushing to say Stowers should be in the same tier as Sadiq. I've been a little bit hesitant on them anyway. Now you get this landing spot and it's hard.

Speaker 5:
[47:19] Seattle only has four picks in this draft. I'm shocked. If they're not going to trade this pick, could it be a running back?

Speaker 7:
[47:28] That's the thing is people were saying it could be the running back on day two. I mean, Jaderian Price was connected to them in some mocks. But that just feels like we keep talking about this as a really weak class of a second running back in the first round. That feels like a luxury also even though it's a need position. I mean, BPA, not that they need a safety, but a guy like Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, there are good players in the board that it feels like taking a running back. It feels silly to me not to say they're not. But yeah, I mean, if it were to be a running back, it feels like Price would be it, right, Fitz?

Speaker 5:
[48:03] I think so. I mean, he is the consensus number two running back in this class. I mean, there might be some dispute in the fantasy community, but in the NFL, I think he's been number two all along.

Speaker 7:
[48:20] Yeah. I mean, I do like Jonah Coleman, but he's been in that group of the second tier of guys. I've had Price at the top of that group kind of throughout. I mean, if it were me on the clock with Seattle, I would not take a running back. I'll put that out there. But if they do, actually looks like it's okay. So it is Price. Wow. Okay. I don't think that's particularly smart, but this team just won the Super Bowl, so they clearly know a whole lot more than I do. I mean, it certainly pushes him to the top of that group in terms of rookie drafts. He was in that clump with Jonah Coleman and maybe Emmett Johnson and whoever. This is as good of a landing spot as you could get and first-round draft capital. He has to be RB2 in rookie drafts now, Fitz, right?

Speaker 5:
[49:15] He does. This is the lottery ticket landing spot for a running back. One of the rookie running backs. So yeah, I mean, like Jadarian Price, I don't want to tease our next segment too much, but I would imagine he's going to be listed as one of the winners of the first round among the fantasy prospects.

Speaker 7:
[49:37] Yeah. Hard not to be. Obviously, played behind Jeremiah Love at Notre Dame. Erickson, you wonder what kind of production we might have seen if he wasn't the 1B to Love's 1A for the Fighting Irish. But somebody who I think will show more of an ability to catch passes than he did just because he was sharing that backfield with a guy like Love. But we haven't seen that. But is just, I think, a pretty good runner and again, this landing spot is sublime.

Speaker 9:
[50:08] Can't argue with that or the draft capital first round, even though it's 32nd overall, which I do think does matter and requires some context when we talk about first round running backs. Running backs taken top 10, top 15 have performed way differently than running backs taken in the second half of the first round. So although both him and Jeremiah Love are both first-round running backs, being picked third versus 32nd are very different. So I just wanted to add that layer. I think for me, the issue is not that he's a winner, but I think he's going to get really expensive and is that something that we want to buy into when it comes to, okay, we have a new offensive coordinator coming in. Charbonneau is not dead. He's going to come back at some point. They have a couple of veterans. They have Emanuel Wilson who was able to carve out a role in Green Bay, and last year, Chavon Henderson was viewed as the best pass blocking, running back, coming out of college in years and years. Other coaches were talking about it, and what did he struggle with as a rookie, Pass Pro at the NFL level? So that concerns me with Price about the Pass Pro. Great vision, no denying that when he sees a certain lane, he's going to hit it. I think that sometimes he looked like he had better vision than Love did, because Love, I think, sometimes just tries to hit the home run. But yeah, the thing with Price is that he becomes 103. Like is it him, Mendoza, and then...

Speaker 7:
[51:37] I don't think he's going to get that high. I think he's still going behind the big three receivers at least.

Speaker 9:
[51:44] I mean, you guys talked about he hit the lottery.

Speaker 5:
[51:47] Well, but like you are making the great case for why he should not be going in the top half of rookie drives. I would not take Judarian Price. I mean, just, but people are going to go overboard. No question he's a winner. There just aren't that many good landing spots for running backs. In this year's draft, like I don't think there.

Speaker 7:
[52:08] I really don't think there's going to be many, if any rookie drafts where he's going inside the top five. I think after Love, Mendoza and Superflex and the first three receivers, I think those guys are also going ahead of him. I think 106 is where you might start to see people go like, Hey, I really need a running back and this is a great landing spot. Like I don't like Sadiq and you know, I'm not a big fan of the other receivers. Like that's where I think it might start in some cases. I don't think he's getting inside the top five in almost any case. I just can't see somebody passing on like a top 10 receiver or Lemon going to the Eagles over him. I mean, maybe I will be proven wrong, but I don't think he'll get that pricey. I think he'll get pricier than he is right now. Like he will be a first round pick in every rookie draft and you know, up towards the middle as opposed towards the back of the first round. I don't think he's getting to the top of the first round in my opinion.

Speaker 5:
[52:58] You want to take him ahead of Kenya and Sadiq? Fine by me.

Speaker 9:
[53:08] What happened to Claude Ebersheller when he went to the nut spot at 32 over? We just get out of control and carried away. Especially with him going this high because I think there's a lot of things where this worked out really well for him, where everyone else is running that class was really bad. So naturally, scarcely at the position that pushes him up. The fact that Seattle, Worm, you did a great job of outlining. They didn't have any more picks that they could potentially fall back on to then take price at a different point. If he even taken 33rd overall versus 32nd, he would be viewed like totally differently because he'd be a first round pick versus second round pick. I just think the price is going to be literally, figuratively out of this.

Speaker 7:
[53:47] The price, yeah. I think where it's going to get interesting is when you talk about a guy like Omar Cooper, who we are worried about the landing spot in at least the short term versus him. Because prior to this, Cooper was clearly ahead of him. I wonder about that now. I wonder if some people might be concerned about Concepcion. I don't think they should be as much with the Cleveland landing spot compared to price. But like, I wonder if people say, well price versus Concepcion is now a conversation given the landing spot. I mean, Denzel Boston did not go in the first round. I wonder if that becomes a conversation. You know, Stowers obviously hasn't been picked yet. But the top five guys I think are still fairly locked in, in my estimation. I think what's a really interesting one is in a vacuum, like agnostic of what your team needs are in a super flex draft, who is going to be ranked ahead of you? Who would you rather take Fitz, Ty Simpson or Judaria Price?

Speaker 5:
[54:40] Ty Simpson.

Speaker 7:
[54:42] Erickson?

Speaker 9:
[54:44] Probably Ty Simpson, yeah.

Speaker 7:
[54:46] Okay. Because that's an issue. Because you're saying I'm taking a guy who's not going to play this year at the very least, and who we didn't think was very good, but he's still going to go ahead of Price. So maybe that says something about Price not jumping too high in the rankings.

Speaker 5:
[54:58] Yeah. Positional value, man. And the setup for Ty Simpson in 2027 and beyond. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
