I'm going to share it instead ofjust saying it. I'm gonna show everybody

(03:25):
at home what I am referring to. Of course, Oh, he's got
he's got the clips, he's gotthe clips. I'm prepared, guys,
what do you want me to say? That's a first I am. I'm
not because I can't freaking log inbecause the ship's taken forever. He forgot
his password. No, it's justit's you know what, I'm going to

(03:46):
call it out. It's TikTok beingsilly. So the password is Taco.
Oh that's true. Damn it.Well, now you're talking Dave. That's
Dave's team name. Okay, sosorry, sorry, All right, here
we go. I am going toshare with you guys at home, what
I am speaking of, right quick, and and just to do a little

(04:06):
glotation, if you will. Sowe're going into the Fantasy Football Bros.
YouTube and we are talking about righthere, y'all. Just check it out
and give it a listit. We'rehaving technical difficulties. Is it working?

(04:30):
I can't hear anything. It's noteven playing. I don't think am I
sharing the screen? Yeah? Didyou see that little button that says it's
a little triangle that's pointing that way. Whatever? Then it's not working that
way. We tried. Oh,I know, I I think I know.
I sorry, guys, technical difficulties. I shared the wrong screen.
Perhaps let me try it one moretime. That could have been one.

(04:54):
I thought you were prepared. Iguess we're doing this on the fly.
Yeah, we don't prepare on thisshow, guys, I shared the wrong
screen. Forgive me if I wouldlike to see Kirk Cousins end up in
Atlanta, and I also want tosee Atlanta draft JJ McCarthy and have one
year of Kirk cousins JJ McCarthy.Kind of perfect fit guy that knows how
to deliver the ball to the weaponsthey got. I think it's something they

(05:16):
need, so uh talk about.I think he's a perfect fit for their
division rival and Philadelphia Eagles. Youput him in there, you know they're
they're losing swift of the free agency. I think you put him in there
to help block and to help catchpasses from Jalen Hurts. I think he's
the perfect fit for there. SoI'm taking that as of you know victory

(05:40):
that, but like, I'm happywith those signings. And obviously the other
one which I didn't pull up isuh is is uh And I said it
for three weeks with Derek King Henryto the to the Ravens. To me,
those are the three biggest signings.Am I missing one? You think
that's pretty impactful and big. Uh. I don't know how impactful it is.

(06:02):
But Josh Jacobs to the Packers wasone. Yeah, that's a good
one. I mean a younger.They get a twenty six year old running
back as opposed to a thirty yearold running back. And don't get me
wrong, Aaron Jones has had greatseasons in Green Bay, but their team's
younger. Now. They have youngwide receivers that played very very well this

(06:23):
season with Jordan Love who played veryvery well this season, and they didn't
have any use for Aaron Jones anymore. And not to mention, Josh Jacobs
is kind of a little bit ofa combination between Aaron Jones and aj Dillon,
who are both no longer in GreenBay. So now they have basically
two running backs in one running backin Josh Jacobs, who I think he's

(06:45):
gonna have a really good season withthem, as long as they can keep
it up. But they did loseback Theari. I mean, he's been
hurt for a while, so yeah, he hasn't played in like forty seven
years. He hasn't played. Hehasn't played in like four seasons. So
it really isn't that big of aloss. But I mean, he's just
a name. You're right, Jacobs, that's a good one. Jacob's going
there is That's that's huge for theiroffense. It is huge. You're right

(07:06):
about that effort. That slipped mymind. And then of course you had,
you know, because of that,you had the President of the United
States, Alexander mc madison starts signingwith Minnesota. The Sam donald led Minnesota.
So until Minnesota, well no,until Aaron Jones signed with the Vikings.

(07:27):
Now, yeah, that's what Imeant. So, yeah, it's
not Alexander Madison. Yeah, yeah, did he Yeah, I was gonna
say they cut him, Yeah,and they signed they signed Johnson. Interesting,
let's talk about the big name.So of course we'll start with the
quarterback. I said my piece onKirk Cousins. I think it's the perfect
fit. I'm not saying Falcons area super Bowl team, but I mean

(07:49):
they were almost a playoff team withthe worst quarterback play in the league.
They've got a good young defense,good young weapons. This guy has shown
he knows how to get the ballto his best up his entire career.
He's always been able to get hisbest weapon. And we might we might
be able to finally see what KylePitts is all about with a quarterback who

(08:11):
we know can use his tight endsthe way that he was supposed to be
used. I know, Jay can'tstand the guy, and how long are
we going to be on the KylePitts thing for But he hasn't had a
quarterback, so with Kirk Cousins beingthere, I mean, I know he's
coming off a pretty significant If he'sbad this year, if he's bad this
year, can we just put itto bad that he's If he's bad this

(08:31):
year, he's in the graveyard,I mean the graveyard last year. But
I mean it's not just him,it's Drake London too. Like Drake huge,
huge job grade for that kid,and that yeah, this past year
that he's better than we thought becausewe ripped down on him after his rookie
year. Me I remember me andJay were high on him coming into this

(08:52):
coming in draft and his rookie year, he wasn't that great. Towards the
end of the second year he gotbetter, and now he's got a quarterback
that just ends you near justin Jeffersonto being a superstar. Right. The
only downfall is that cause Kirka iskind of old, and he's also coming
off an Achilles injury. So sure, yeah, he can't run. He

(09:13):
can't. No, he's not goingto run, but it could still potentially
affects. You know, he's stillgotta be able to step up and throw
and all that other stuff. Soyou're right, it's something. Yeah,
I mean it's definitely a thought.Sure it has to be. You can't
just discredit the Achilles thing. Andyeah, and that happened late in the
season too. I'm not super late, but late enough to where, yeah,

(09:37):
about halfway through the season. Sois he going to be ready for
training camp? Who? If youknow they're saying, who's five years older?
He was going to be ready byweek seventeen? True? So yeah,
so I get yeah, I guessso I like. I like it
for the Falcons, I do,And yeah, it for be I like
it for Bijon, I like itfor Pitts, I like it for London.

(10:00):
And they signed Darnell Mooney, whois a good number two. I
mean, he had rough years inChicago, but in Chicago, who doesn't
have right, That's exactly my point. So now he's going into an offense
with a pass heavy quarterback who isnot going to take off and run for
one hundred and seventy yards a gameand actually use his receivers. So that

(10:22):
should that should help out, helpthere and help his career a little bit.
You know, I'm not saying he'sgonna put up stellar numbers or you
know, superstar wide receiver one numbers, but I mean'll you'll definitely have some
fantasy value in Darnell Mooney. Finally, well, I want to circle back
to a name you mentioned here,and that's one of my baby boys,

(10:43):
b Jon Robinson. Now you Iremember you specifically, Adam, maybe it
was Jay two were off the Bijontrade, and your argument was they're going
to stack the box, they don'thave a quarterback. But you know that
that argument there, which was true, and Bijon still ended up being in
RB one in fantasy football. Butnow, guess what, they have a
quarterback that can deliver the ball tothe weapons, so they're not going to

(11:05):
be able to stack the box againstBijeon, right ideally, I agree,
hopefully yeah, I mean potentially,Yeah, it depends on how good those
weapons pan out. But this shouldopen it up even more for Bijon.
So like Jon had a wide orare we one season with no quarterback play?
Right? So now, like Ithink the sky is the limit for

(11:26):
Bjon. I'm not saying taking himas the first running back, but he's
gotta be in consideration in the topthree. I mean he's got to be
now, especially all these running backsare going to talk about guys their values
better this year than it was lastyear. VAL value Bijon higher who I
valued high last year. I valueSaquan higher who I valued high last year.

(11:48):
And I value King Henry higher thanI valied. I mean, do
you guys all agree with least withthat statement. No, I totally agree
with that, and I think allthe running backs that move are are in
a better positions. Tony Pollard,but they just signed Calvin Ridley, which
is a big signing for the Titans. So having now pretty good wide receivers

(12:11):
could open up Pollard a little bitmore. But we saw Tony Pollard do
well when he had another running backlike Zeke in front of him. Spears
is not going to be that guyfor for Pollard. So I got a
good nay analogy for Jay being themore the biggest resident baseball fan of the
crew the Titans with Nuke and withNuke and Calvin Ridley, and I guess

(12:39):
now, and don't forget about theother guy too, Traylon Bricks. But
with Nuke and Ridley are the Angelsfrom the past three years, two awesome
players, and they're just an awfulteam that won't do anything. Yeah right,
you got you got too well,I mean Nukes in the graveyard now,
but I mean of where he went. Yeah yes, but potentially you

(13:03):
have two superstar wide receivers and youdon't have Jack Ship to throw said wide
receivers. And that's that's exactly whatI was just going to say. And
this is really a make or breakyear for Will Levis. Like don't okay,
he was a rookie last year,right, so you got to get
the least Mason Rudolph for the startertoday, like maybe maybe six hours ago

(13:31):
James. It can really really depends. It really really depends on how Levis
is going to play and if hecan take that next step needed to be
able to use those weapons and usethem correctly and get the ball to them
without Yeah, I mean, yeahthey have from last year. They've upgraded
at wide receiver who who knows that? I don't think it's probably be and

(13:58):
then downgraded at running back. SoI mean, I was out on the
Tony Polter train at the beginning ofthe year. But let's get back and
track talk about a running back.So let's talk, of course about well,
since we're talking to Titans, let'stalk about Derrick Henry. I said
it, and I said it forweeks, not just that episode, that
the perfect fit for Derrick Henry isin Baltimore. When you have a running

(14:20):
quarterback lack Lamar Jackson who can pullthe ball and run to the side with
speed, you need a monster ofa man to run the ball of the
middle. Do you get more ofa monster of a man than Derrick Henry.
Now, Derrick Henry is going into an offense with the MVP of
the NFL, the team that wasin the ANFC champions Okay, Okay,

(14:41):
he's also going on the best quarterbackhe's ever had in his life, and
probably the best receiving corp he's everhad in his life, and the best
tight end he's ever had in hislife, and the best defense he's ever
had in his life. Like,I am not scared of okay, just
because of it's a P p Rleague. I might be on the on

(15:03):
the you know, downswing of atop three pick, but I think Derrick
Henry is a top four or fiverunning back drafted this year. I don't
think you could talk me out ofit, Adam, I mean, what
do you think about how I juststated it? No, you're absolutely right.
And with with Lamar as good ashe is on the outside and and
as much as he does run,you're right when they do need to slow

(15:24):
it down a little bit and andyou know, kind of give him the
more extended Gus Edwards roll right,who was that guy for them for a
bit to run up the middle.And I know he didn't have that great
of a season. I'm not sayingGus Edwards was anything to you know,
balk Over, but yeah, havingDerrick Henry there, I completely agree this

(15:45):
is the best team that he's everhad around in my offense and defense.
So I wanted to be able tohand being able to hand hand that ball
off to a absolute just bruiser.It's gonna it's gonna be tough to beat
the I'll tell you, I dowant to argue one thing. And I
don't think we realize, like yousaid, he didn't have that greater year.

(16:07):
This is Gus Edwards stats, right, I mean they're not amazing,
but he had eight hundred and tenyards four yards of carry in thirteen touchdowns.
Now he had a good season.Yeah, I'm just I'm just thinking
and think of the offing team interms of just Warrick Henry cow. Where
Derek Henry's going to be their bellcow. Derrick Henry's walking into a team

(16:29):
where Gus Edwards had thirteen touchdowns andfour point one yards of carry, when
Derrick Henry is leaving a team wherehe had four point two yards of carry
and twelve touchdowns. And mind you, everyone thinks Derrick Henry's older, so
much older than Gus Edwards. He'sonly one year older than Gus Edwards,
So I mean, but he's gotall the miles on him that Gus Edwards
doesn't have. I just I don'teven think anyone can argue it's not an

(16:52):
upgrade. Even if he has,it's definitely an upgrade. I mean,
Gus Edwards had thirteen touchdowns. DereckHenry is going to have ten touchdowns minimum,
Yeah, minimum, ten touchdowns minimum, I mean, and that's kind
of what we expect from him.I mean his touchdowns. He's had double
digit touchdowns since twenty eighteen, sothat's what we expect from him minimally.

(17:14):
But I just it is such abig move. I mean, this to
me makes the Baltimore Ravens the favoritesin the AFC right now. I agreed.
I don't know if I necessarily agreewith you on a top five running
back in fantasy, but well,we'll have to see when we get to
our rankings, because I would beshocked if you can find five running running
backs you're more comfortable with Derrick Henrygoing to the Ravens. I would be

(17:38):
literally shocked, because if you're justthrowing names out there, of course,
Christian McCaffrey, maybe Bjeon, maybethe guy from the Rams, and maybe
how dare you not say Kyrien WilliamsI forget. I know, Okay,
fuck, there's four, there's four, right there? I mean, who

(17:59):
else respectful? Josh Jacobs, youknow, I mean j I might throw
I might throw Barkley back in themix. Was part of the fourth Barkley,
I said, Barkley, John Christianand Williams. I mean those are
just I mean, your your yourtop four running backs last year were CMC

(18:19):
Moster, Kiren Williams, and uhass eating season. So you're not gonna
take you're nobody's taking Mostar over him. And I don't think anyone's gonna take
ass eating over him. So yeah, I don't know. I mean,
Moster did have eighteen touchdowns, sohe's not going to be a first round
pick. He's old, you knowwhat I mean, Like, and everyone's
going to be drafted, so maybea chan but yeah, you know,

(18:44):
but so like that's what I'm saying. So Derek Henry is going to be
around top five picks. So butwe gotta talk about Kwan and and we
didn't get there yet, and KwanBarkley was a first round pick in fantasy
last year, and everything everyone's alwayssaid about Sa Kwon Barkley is he's on
a shit team. He's got nohelp, he's got no offensive line.
Well, he happens to be onthe best offensive line in football. I

(19:07):
know they lost their center, buthe happens to be on the best offensive
line in football. And he hasJalen Hurts, Davonte Smith, AJ Brown,
and Dallas Goddard surrounding him, sohe has weapons up the ass.
This is a team that had aguy that everyone left for dead who we
should mention to. DeAndre Swift gota big deal too, But they had

(19:29):
a guy DeAndre Swift who everyone leftfor dead. Have a really killer year.
Now. The first thing everyone's gonnabe scared about is he's not gonna
get a lot of touchdowns because ofthe Toush push, Right? Are we
sure? Are we sure that theToush push is going to be so effective
without Jason Kelsey moving forward? Yeah? I mean, who knows. I

(19:49):
mean, I don't think you canput it on one guy, but I
mean, I I think he's definitelygonna lose some to that. But he's
it's a hard to say. It'sso hard to say because they're so passed
first, and then you got thetouch push, and then you got Kwan,

(20:11):
so like they give him a lotof money to come run the football.
They did, you know, sothat's sometimes, but they're still not
going to change their identity. Idon't think they should think about it because
they were awful. I was justyeah, I think kind of have to
know they were bad at the endof the year. I mean, coaches
don't like to change their identity.Yeah, you're right, so I'm hiring

(20:34):
them. I'm always high on him, but like, he's got no excuse
now. I mean, he's definitelymore intriguing. It's just like the downside
to like a lot of this stuffis like is the unknown. You don't
know what this team is going tobe like with him, right, and
we won't know until the season starts, obviously, But you know, it's

(20:56):
just you're right, he's definitely moreintrigued, And I agree with everything Chess
said. He has a much betterteam around him than he did in New
York, you know, with areally good quarterback and a really good you
know, one and two wide receiverand a you know, really good offensive
line. And he's got a reallygood defense behind them too. Eagles defense

(21:19):
we're up towards the top all season, so you know, a lot of
people are like, oh, you'retalking about running backs. What does defense
have to do That defense has todo with everything. You know, defense
is the ones that are keeping youin games and allowing you to you know,
you know, be able to runthe ball late in the game,
and you want to have an effectiverunning back to be able to do that.

(21:41):
So now that they have, nowthat they have a reliable running back
to do that, they're going totake a lot more pressure off Jalen Hurts
to to take off and run.And I think the same thing in Baltimore
with Derrick Henry. It's going totake a lot of pressure off of Lamar
Jackson to not have to, youknow, scramble as much and run a
much because now he's got an optionbehind him. And you know, Jackson

(22:03):
and Hurts are similar quarterbacks, right, They have decent arms. I think
Hurts has a better arm than Jackson, but and Jackson has better legs than
Hurts. So taking that pressure offthose two quarterbacks is going to be huge
for both of those offenses. Swiftfinished as a twenty third overall running back
in Fantasy last year. On theon Philly. He had a thousand yards,

(22:26):
but he only had five touchdowns.Yeah, so like, but that
because we lost on all the JalenHurts. What's great about Swift is he
was like a ninth round pick,so yeah, he ended up being an
RB too. But like, sothose are good numbers from back, Yeah
that's why. Yeah, but we'realso so but now with he it's gonna

(22:48):
be a first well Swift is Imean, I don't think it's any shock
that I'm gonna what I'm gonna sayhere, Sakwon Barkley is the better player
than DeAndre Swift, right, yeah, for sure. So you had a
top production there and Swift didn't takeover the starting job to like week two,
right, so like you're the topproduction there with a running back that

(23:08):
everyone left for dead. Now youget arguably one of the most talented running
backs in the league going to thatsystem. So it's like, man,
I'm all systems go, I'm uh, Kwan is going to be in the
top three for me? Probably itis, But like the five touchdowns is
concerning for their starting running back?Yeah, but I don't think that I
can almost guarantee I will put moneyon that Jalen Hurts does not have eighteen

(23:33):
fucking rushing touch Isn't that what hehad last year? I think let me
look it up. I think DylanHurts eighteen rushing touchdowns. That's insane if
that's what it was. Fifteen fifteenOkay, sorry, so fifteen rushing touchdowns
he had the same as Josh Allen. He's not gonna do that again.
He was banged up last year andhe had a down year. Everybody would

(23:56):
kind of say, even though hisstats are similar to twenty twenty two,
but even so, like, okay, say he you know, I don't
know, maybe he loses like threetouchdowns on the year or something. So
then Kwan gets another three that you'retalking eight touchdowns for a first round pick.
That's pretty good. If you're catchingthe football too, you got if

(24:18):
one thing we got to remember,Saquon is an all purpose back. DeAndre
Swift is not an all purpose back. You had Boston Scott in there getting
touchdowns, You had Kenneth Gainwell andgetting past this. That's not gonna happen
with Saquon Barkley. I just wantto remind people at home that in Saquon
Barkley's rookie year, he rushed forthirteen hundred yards and had ninety one receptions.

(24:40):
And that was the only year heplayed with Eli Manning and then since
then he's had fifty two receptions sixhe got hurt forty one, fifty seven
to forty one. But that rookieyear in a good offense, he had
thirteen hundred rushing yards and ninety onereceptions. I don't that is That's like
what steph on Day gets reception wise. So like I'm not saying he's getting

(25:03):
ninety one receptions, but like he'snot gonna come off the field like DeAndre
Swift was. So I am notexpecting him to finish in the top twenty.
I'm expecting him to finish in thetop six, possibly top first.
And that is my honest expectations.Yes, he's one of my favorite players
in the league, but be he'sliterally on probably one of the top three

(25:26):
offenses in the league. Your lovefor him, I think is clouding your
judgments so big to say it's wildfor you to say that. I don't
think there's there's no way, there'sno way he loses touchdowns to Jalen Hurts.
You can't say there's no way he'sYou pretty much did you were like,
oh, yeah, he's not gonnalose touchdowns to him. No,
he is. But I don't thinkjays Hurts is gonna have as many.

(25:48):
I think the touch push was gettingfound out, and now that Jason Kelsey's
out, I'm not saying it's dead, but I don't. I mean they
still weren't. They weren't able tostop it. He got fifteen touchdowns still,
So I mean, Aason Kelsey madethat play. It was the center
every time it was going over JasonKelcey every single time. We'll find out

(26:08):
even if Taikwon didn't sign there,even if they signed the President of the
United States, Alexander Madison, Iwould be saying that Jalen Hurts isn't gonna
get as many rushing touchdowns from me. Yeah, I'd think most people should
have it in the back of theirmind that there's a chance that he loses
touchdowns to her. But I'm alsonot expecting Saqwon Barkley to have fifteen rushing
touchdowns. I'm expecting Saqwa Barkley tohave like eight or nine and like sixty

(26:30):
receptions and a few receiving touchdowns.That's my expectations. So I'm not going
in there with big touchdown gaudy touchdownnumbers. He's gonna make up for it
with receptions. But we should talkabout Uh. It's an interesting one.
And I want to hear your guystake of DeAndre Swift signing with Jays Bears.
He is the guy, right,I mean, they went out they

(26:52):
signed him like two minutes into freeagency, the first big deal off the
board. They gave him almost asmuch money is Dereck Henry got. I
think he got as much money asDerek Derrek Henry got two years sixteen million.
Swift got three years twenty four Soyeah, eight million a year,
and and and Barkley was the biggestwith twelve a year. But so he's
got the second biggest deal on runningbacks immediately immediately. So like, to

(27:17):
me, this is signifying they wantto use him. I'm not worried about
Roshan Johnson. I'm not worried aboutKhalil Herbert. They've proved that they're not
much. So what do you what, Jae, what's your what's your like?
First take on them getting DeAndre Swift? My first take is that everyone
that goes the Bears dies, Solike I want to be I want to

(27:40):
be excited for it, and uhand I think it could be I think
he could be good there, butit's the fucking Bears. So I mean,
I don't know how I feel aboutthis one. Like I want to
say that's good and I think he'sgoing to be great, but I mean
it's tough, Adam. I justthink he went into another running back rotation.

(28:04):
No, no, god, no, wait, just because it's DeAndre
Swift doesn't mean that they're just gonnabe like, oh, sorry, Roshan
Johnson, sorry, Khalil Herbert.Well, this is another one of Chad's
boys, so you know how hehas a feeling was Swift was a guy
and then he went and then hegoes to Philly and we all think he's

(28:27):
in a rotation and he blows everyoneelse out of the water and is their
starter from game two on and rashiredPetty is a lot more competition than fucking
rochan Johnson. So like, Ithink he's gonna easily. But they don't
like Khalil Herbert. They benched him. They were starting fucking defat guy and

(28:51):
and Rochean Johnson over, So KhalilHerbert is not not a threat and if
you want to say Roshan Johnson,they must love Roshan Johnson. That they
went and signed the second highest paidrunning back in free agency on the minute
that it was available, they mustlove Rochawan Johnson. So I sometimes just
it's just the Bears, dude,You're you're expecting so much from the Bears.

(29:12):
Just because they got DeAndre Swift doesn'tmean that they're gonna be this fucking
yeah, They're still gonna save Theystill have Justin Fields. Who is gonna
run all over everybody? No,no, no, no, no.
What is a rookie quarterback's best friendstied end in a pass catching running back?
They don't have Justin Fields. They'regonna have Caleb Williams, and he's

(29:33):
gonna be hopefully checked in my estimation, checking the ball down a lot to
DeAndre Swift. That in my head, I'm not saying DeAndre Swift is a
top five I'm just saying that stuff. But I'm just he can be.
He's gonna be better than people.He's gonna be better on the Bears that
he would have been on the Eaglesthis year. Where are you comfortable drafting

(29:55):
DeAndre Swift and Fantasy putting that inmy head right now. I haven't done
my rank yet, but I'm notputting them up there in those those rankings
I was saying earlier, but hewouldn't be too far off. I'm saying
maybe ten tenth running back. Imean, I want to know where you
were, what round you you woulddraft him in? Though? Third?

(30:17):
Maybe, like you start at leastplease draft DeAndre Swift the third round.
I mean, like I said,I haven't done my my rankings yet,
but it depends on what the rankingis. If he's my tenth ranked running
back and there's four guys ahead ofthem that are there, okay, I'm
gonna take one of those guys,you know. But if he's my tenth
rank running back and he's on top, I'm gonna take him just to compare

(30:37):
for last season and fantasy wise,the Bears running backs finished forty one,
forty four, and fifty out offifty running backs. Yeah, so,
like that's why I don't believe inRoshan Johnson. And they combined for eight
touchdowns for the three running backs,and even even DeAndre Swift, who was

(31:00):
getting touchdowns vultured right, still hadfive rushing touchdowns and So again, if
you're saying that he ended up attwenty four last year, I'm thinking,
okay, how about this, Ihave I have DeAndre Swift in Fantasy Football
Bros. League. I traded him. He was part of the trade I
acquired Stefan Diggs and DeAndre Swift.Goose acquired was At Waddle and U Saquon.

(31:27):
So now we're talking keepers. Idon't exactly know Swift's value, probably
eighth round. We'll just say eighthround to be fair. He's in that
idea as a keeper in the eighthround, right, wouldn't just that's fair?
Yeah, I would keep him.Yeah, if you're talking keepers,
yeah, I mean I'm just sayingso. So his value already is above

(31:47):
the eighth round in our heads.So he's already valued more than where he
was drafted last year. So he'salready you know, on the up kick
there. So yeah, I wouldvalue him. I think I would take
I'd be comfortable with Swift in likethe sixth that'd probably be the earliest i'd
take him. I don't think anybodyis gonna go out there going, oh

(32:08):
my god, he's a bear.I need to have him. Just here's
some numbers. Here, here's somenames. I'm throughout real quick. We
won't spend all day on this,but here's some starting running backs around the
league. You're telling me what you'retaking this guy or Swift, Gus Edwards
and in the Chargers Swift right,Okay, I'm there. Obviously I have

(32:29):
I have a little soft spot forGus Edwards, but I would take Swift
over Edwards. Okay, the guywe just talked about, Tony Pollard,
uh Swift, I would take Pollard. Okay, Austin Eckler, now he's
fucking dead, so definitely Swift.I would still take Eckler. Oh my

(32:52):
god, you know he's a secondstring running back. They literally said it.
Did you know how much money theygave him? By the way,
I didn't even look. I meanhe went to the right two years eleven
eleven point four to three million,two years for eight. That was for
eight. It could be I don'tknow, it's Pro Football focus years for

(33:15):
eight, but either way, that'seither four million a year or five and
a half. So they didn't signhim to be your number one running back.
So I would say Brian Robinson's thenumber one running back there. So
yeah, Brian Robinson, that's forsure. The number one. There's Brian
Robinson had a really good year.So I mean, I don't think they're
gonna Dorian Robinson or Swift. Yeah, I'm gonna change my answer. I

(33:37):
would take Swift over Ecklar. Uhit's fifty to fifty. I would be
had they both finished up. Uh, they've finished twenty two and twenty three,
So I mean, one's got anew, guaranteed starting job. One's
got off. Then Eckler coming inright toss. Yeah, yeah, what
about here's a good one and we'llstop after this one. New team,

(34:00):
new garbage team, just like fuckingSwift, new garbage team. Aaron Jones,
I would take Aaron Jones over Swift. I'm still taking Swift over Aaron
Jones. Uh, I might takeAaron Jones. I mean I like Aaron
Jones a lot too. But ifyou're gonna take one garbage so fair enough.

(34:22):
So like, but we're showing therethat Swift, like I said,
I'm not I'm not saying Swift isa bad running back. I'm saying he
went to a very bad team whohas other running backs on their roster that
they're just not gonna throw away andwith justin fields there, and I don't
care what you think is gonna happenwith justin fields. Mi, Caleb Williams,

(34:42):
Bro, why do you think it'sgonna be justin fields? You think
they're literally gonna pass. They haven'tdone anything about it yet because they might
wait till the day of the draftbecause nobody wants fine Mike right. So
if nobody wants justin fields, they'renot going to find a trade partner on
the did draft. Either're not gonnadraft Caleb Williams. Then, because nobody
wants dress justin fields, They're gonnago Caleb Williams a much better price.

(35:07):
Mean, I'm not saying that theywon't draft a quarterback saying it's gonna be
justin fields, because even if theydraft, even if they have justin fields
and draft Caleb Williams, Caleb Williamsis not starting over justin fields. Hey,
will you talk this man straight?Please? Uh? I want to
say that if they draft Caleb Williams, he's probably gonna start, But I

(35:28):
could see them letting Fields start andthen switching over Okay for the whole year,
Oh for sure. Not he's justinif Justin Fields is starting. He's
not gonna be the starter all year. No. No, I mean look
at even last year. Like lastyear, will Levis ended up starting towards
the end of the year. Theyall did well. Tannehill got hurt.

(35:49):
That's the only reason why Levis started. But Levis is a second round You're
talking about the first overall pick,you know what I mean, Like Caleb
Williams is starting. I think,and I still think they'll move Justin Fields.
The problem is nobody wants Justin Fields. Michael Fabiano came out and said
he talked to GMS across the leagueabout Justin Field's value and they said we
wouldn't give him, give them anymore than a sixth round pick. Dog

(36:13):
shit. Yeah, nobody wants them. So that's why there hasn't been a
move. They probably want a thirdor something, and the teams are just
like, nah, brack, no, we're not interested. So I don't
know, it's it's it's it's wild. So we mentioned Calvin Ridley, We
we touched on Gus Edwardson. Imean, well, we talked about the
big ones. Did I skip anyone? Uh h, yeah, I kind

(36:37):
of touched on him earlier. Though, I think, yeah, he's got
the same value, same value hehad last year, if not a touch
higher. He's going into a betteroffense. You know, he's uh,
he was an early second round picklast year. He's probably an early second
round pick this year, right,if not better? Yeah, yeah,
Uh. Antonio Gibson going to thePatriots' that's the little legitimately. Now here's

(37:02):
the thing about Antonio Gibson going tothe Patriots. They're gonna have Jade and
Daniels as their quarterback most likely,I would assume, so exactly what I
said about Swift. A young quarterback'sbest friend is a tight end and a
pass catching back. So again,not putting Antonio Gibson into the top twenty
four running backs, but gotta keepyour eye on in the drafts. Later

(37:25):
is all depending on what they dofor quarterback. I'm assuming they're gonna end
up with Jayden Daniels, maybe JJMcCarthy, but that's what I'm assuming.
And then you know, uh,for receiver wise, all the big names
are already gone. We talked aboutit. Calvin Ridley, whatever, you're
over there, Mac Collins to theBills, Gabe Davis to the Jaguars,

(37:46):
but for that kind of money toofucking out fucking yeah, none of that.
I don't think there's really been anyother like crazy wide receiver. Some
wide receivers were re signed or franchisetagged. I mean, the only thing
is we don't know what's going tohappen with t Higgins. He asked for

(38:07):
a trade. There is, here'shere's one. Who am I? I
have been a top twelve player atmy position for the past four years,
and I John Smith am going ona new team. I'm going on a
new, young and hungry team thatneeds me. Who am I for a

(38:29):
tight end? No, it's JoeMixon. Joe Mixon has been a top
twelve running back. I didn't knowwe were still talking about running back.
I just I didn't know what wewere talking about running back. Yeah,
I know, he just said abouttight end and he was talking about run.
Joe Mixon has been top the lastfour years, and now he's going
to a pretty good offense that needshim. Yeah. No, one likes

(38:50):
John I know, but he's alwaysNo. He's literally been a top twelve
running back for the last four years. He's the most barring running back in
the history of running backs. Hey, now it's our time. We can
see if it's him that's boring orZach Taylor that's boring. Now it's time
to see. I mean he wasboring before Zach Taylor. So yeah,

(39:12):
but not wrong there, Yeah,you're you're right. So I think that's
huge for them. But I wantedto mention tight ends because I'm pretty sure
that since he got a good tightend, a decent tight end, they
needed one. Yeah, it's prettygood. It's a pretty good signing for
them. Yeah, it's not toobad. He's Okay, he's not,

(39:35):
you know, the greatest tight endin the world, but he's I mean,
he's gonna he's gonna work in thatoffense with Chase and Higgins. If
IRV Smith Junior going to k Cthat's where he needs to be. We've
all everyone drank his kool aid foryears and he can't stay healthy and he
can't be it. So go aheadand be sit behind Kelsey. That's what
he needs. That's what do youmean? Where did John new Smith go?

(39:58):
Did he go to the Patriots?Right? Dolls? Dolphins? That's
right? Yeah, sorry, thankgod, get him out of the fight.
I forgot Patriots re signed Hunter Henry. That's right. Yeah, what
about what about this guy? Iknow that's gonna be controversial, but limited,
What do we think about Russ toa playoff team that had terrible quarterback
play? Now we we hate wewe goof on Russell Wilson. I don't

(40:22):
know if we hate russells, butwe goof on Russell Wills. Now we
hate Russell Wilson. But he hada pretty decent year, not very decent,
better than the year before. Solast year he had twenty nine total
touchdowns and three thousand passing yards plus, so like pretty good year. You
know, nothing, He's never beena major touchdown guy. He had a

(40:45):
forty touchdown season and a thirty fivetouchdown season thirty four, but most of
the times, you know, he'sin the twenties anyway, So actually last
year was his uh he had youknow thirty four, thirty five, thirty
one, forty four year span therefrom seventeen to twenty, but twenty six
was a highest since then. Basically, So, so Russell Wilson, we

(41:07):
joke on him. He is goingto a team now that has a much
better defense, a much better receivercorps and if you want to say they're
running. Yes, absolutely, Wellnow they trade away Deanta Johnson, You're
right, but yeah, I mean, I mean they only have one.
They only have one good wide receiverPickens and friar Me. That's a lot

(41:30):
better than big Booty Jerry Judy anddone nothing. Courtland Sutton. He actually
know the I don't know. TheDenver wide receiver Corps was like, you
know, rated as like the numberone. And to be fair, he
made Courtland Suton look good. CourtlandSutton had ten touchdowns last year, so
that's for once. He made CourtlandSutton do something. So I'm not saying

(41:52):
Russell Wilson is a is a startingfantasy football option quarterback, but he finished
the season at twelve or thirty teamlast year, so he could be.
I don't even know if he'll bethe starter though. It really just depends
on if they are truly done withKenny Pickett. Yeah. I don't think
they are. I think this ismore of a competition thing and they're like,

(42:14):
we'll we'll give Russ one point twomillion minimum and if we need to
throw ever we can. The Broncosare paying the other two exactly. But
I mean they're like, well,we'll throw you know, one point two
million at this and see where itgoes. Jay, you do realize that
he Kenny Pickett was riding the pinebehind Mason Rudolph into the playoffs last year.

(42:37):
Yeah, So what is it fairto say that Russell Wilson is better
than Mason Rudolph. I think it'sfair that. Yeah. So if he's
backing up Mason Rudolph in the playoffs, why don't you think he's backing up
Maybe? I guess we'll find out. Yeah, any other freedom sending you

(43:01):
guys want to talk on me?We talked a lot. We'll get into
these more when we get into ourour reviews. But you got Brian Burns
to uh to the Giants? Ohyeah, let me share another terrible trade
by Carolina Panthers team that just fuckingsucks at trading. Here's the Giants.

(43:23):
We've got Daniel Jones, who wegive a lot of money to. We
have no receivers whatsoever. We justlet our franchise running back go. So
let's trade. Let's trade. Yeah, good choice, good good, good,
good deal. Let's trade for aLet's trade for an over Let's trade
and overpay for a defensive lineman togo with our other two pretty good defensive

(43:47):
line. Mean, tell me thatyou didn't study under Brandon Bean without telling
me you still didn't study under Brandon. I mean, that is such a
Brandon move. Being move from Joeshowing it's Dick. That's such a Brandon
Bean move. Like literally, that'severything the Bills do. They got lucky
with Josh Allen that can propel theiroffense with dogs. Shit, U,

(44:09):
we're learning that Daniel Jones needs acouple of weapons, and you don't have
any Daniel Jones, nor give himall that money. Chaz's boy Leonard and
Floyd signed with the forty nine ers. Yeah good? I mean did they
end a presenting Chase Youngers? Chaseyoung still available? Still available? I

(44:31):
think I haven't. He's a prettybig name if he would have got signed.
Yeah he's not over. Yeah that'sless. He's still saying he's not
signed. Chase Young's not a clown, he's not signed. Let's see if
there's any other Bud dupree. Iguess yeah, none of the really defensive

(44:52):
people went other than Christian Wilkins andJordan Poyer. So that's what we gotta
say about that, all right?You guys want to see what why I
picked your had you guys pick numbersat the beginning before and I think it
was before we're recording, I hadyou guys picked the numbers. Yeah right,
and this is so so uh,Jay, I believe you picked sixteen

(45:15):
and Adam you picked thirteen, right, correct? And here is why we
picked numbers, because what we're goingto do for the folks at home is
we're doing the Pro Football Focus NFLmock draft. Man. So, Adam,
you picked the Raiders at thirteen.Okay, Jay, you picked the

(45:35):
Hawks at sixteen, and I wasrolling with the Bills. That's why I
made you guys pick the numbers.So I'm rolling with the Bills at twenty
eight. So what's gonna happen hereis it's kind of just like a Madden
Fantasy draft. The computer is gonnapick the players and then you're gonna be
on the clock, Adam at thirteen. All right, this is gonna be
tough because I have no idea who'seven available. Well, no, it's
gonna all show on the screen here. Yeah, I know, but I

(45:58):
don't know anything about the players.Just think about the Raiders. They're starting
quarterback is Gardner minshew. They haveno running back. They have nothing.
So this is is this uh thisis a fantasy draft or is this for
this year? This is gonna berookies? Okay, all right, so
I have no idea what the Seahawksname decides, probably everything, right,

(46:20):
So here we go. The Bearsare on the clock. It's not me,
I got hits start. We're onlydoing the first round, right,
yeah, yeah, so we're startingthe draft, Bears around the clock.
Okay, then we're gonna go inhere. And it was. It was.
It was a shocking first overall pick. The Bears went with Jade and
Daniels quarterback out. Yeah, takethat, Chazz not taking Caleb Williams.
Yeah, First of all, it'snot gonna happen because that's literally justin Fields

(46:42):
junior, So why would they?And then Kayleb Williams went second, and
then Drake May went third, andlike I said, these first are guaranteed
quarterbacks. So fourth they went withJoe Alt and then Jay's Chargers took Rome
Odonza and not Marvin Harrison. Nevergonna happen. There's no way that Jim
Harbaugh walks in and takes fucking receiverhe's a pounded guy. He's gonna take

(47:07):
alignment. Also, I would ifI were the Chargers anyways, I would
take Harrison Jr. Yeah, absolutely, Harrison Jr. Went six Neighbors go
seven to uh the Neighbors go sevento the Titans. So now the Titans,
and this has bleak Neighbors and newCompkins and Calvin Ridley. So that's

(47:27):
probably not Gonnay and Treylon Burks andTreylon Brooks. So J. J.
McCarthy went to the to the Falcons, which I still think could happen.
Brock Bowers went to the Bear.So the Brow the Bears. Black Bowers
is great. Brack Bowers is likea better prospect than than Dlphin Kincaid was
last year. So they your firstaddresser, Jared Vers go to the the
Jets. You had your first cornerback, Terry and Arnold go to the Vikes.

(47:53):
You had a tackle JC Latham goto the Broncos. So, Adam,
you are on the cloud. Itlooks like it says the Raiders team
needs quarterback, running back, offensiveline, interior, defensive line, linebacker,
and defensive back and probably and andso your best quarter probably what Michael

(48:14):
penos bone Knicks. So you gotbone necks, Michael Peneck, Spencer Rattler.
So I don't think they're quarterback.They're not going to run back either.
I'm trying to help you out,and I don't think they're going to
go running back. I think they'regonna go defensive. And I think they're
going to start with the cornerback orsafety or whatever whatever defensive back that they
need more. So I think theyjust, yeah, they'll just take Dijon.

(48:37):
So they're gonna take the white cornerback, the first white cornerback raiders.
Dude. Yeah, they definitely will. Yeah, they definitely will. So
then when the Saints went with tackleJesse Tallasey Fauga, and then the Colts
went with Byron Murphy, the seconddefensive lineman of tax So, Jay,

(49:00):
you're on the clock. It saysthey need some offensive line help and an
edge rusher. Mhm. Or ifyou want to go crazy and go quarterback,
why not. Gino's getting old,he is my boy. Pete Carroll's
gone offensive. Dallas Turner there ownedge rusher Alabama, Dallas turn Okay,

(49:24):
fair enough. And then so beforewe get up to the Bills, I
knew it. I knew it,Son of a bitch, I knew it,
okay. So then it went QuinyanMitchell cornerback to the Jags, not
saying that name to the the tackle, the Ola Masa Fanashu to the tackle
to the Bengals, Troy Fanatu tackleto the Rams, Jackson Powers Johnson a

(49:49):
center to the Steelers. Tyler Geidontackle to the Dolphins. Brian Thomas Junior,
my boy that I think the Billsshould take, goes to the Eagles.
Wow, Eagles are for taking reallygood fucking defensive It's a wide receiver.
That's a wide receiver. I can'tsee the experience. Lie to Latto.

(50:09):
Edge rusher goes to goes to theTexans. Nate Wiggins corner goes to
the Dallas Cowboys. Amarius Mims,a tight tackle from Georgia, goes to
Green Bay, which makes sense.A guy, another guy I want to
builds to draft kool Aid mckinstreet,the cornerback goes to the Bucks. Another
guy I wanted to build to thedraft, Chop Robinson goes as an addresher

(50:31):
to the Arizon mccartinals. So nowI gotta be honest. I don't know
any of these fucking players. Now, it says the bills number one team
needs are the receiver, tackle,defensive line, linebackers, and defensive back.
A good thing. Chaz is adraft guy on this show. Your
best receivers here are Lad mcconkee,A Donat, Mitchell, Troy Franklin,

(50:53):
Roman Wilson. Did somebody take XavierWorthy's all the way done here? Xavier
Worthy is the guy that beat thefucking things. Bill's fans would love Lad
McConkie because they're not showing him.I mean, I'm just gonna be call
him out. He's white, soBill's fans will love him. So he's

(51:15):
white, We're about to get canceled. Bro, that's not me. The
Bill's fucking idiot fans will like him. But guys, for the Bills here
is fine, and find an offensivedefensive lineman that is very undersized, and
that's where they're gonna take is theundersigned, undersized, and then they're develop

(51:40):
him for five years before he plays. And that's what they're gonna do here.
I hate to break your guys' hearts, but they're gonna take Jason Newton
here, whoever he is. SoI hope it doesn't work that way for
the Bills because if we're gonna lookback at the what is this thing?

(52:00):
Get this out of here? Nope, I didn't want that. Oh man,
I can't. I can't get outof it. There it is,
okay. So the Bills took Jazzahere Newton. So this was a weird
draft. Like Jaden Daniels is notgoing over. Caleb Williams not happening.
Uh three quarterback, that's gonna that'sgonna be that. It's gonna be that

(52:23):
in the draft. It's gonna justthe only difference is these two are gonna
or well, how I think it'sgonna pan out is it's gonna go.
It's gonna go Caleb, Drake andJaden, but it could go, you
know, it could go otherwise.But for the Bills, I don't think
Cooper de John's going that early atthem. And I know he was listed
there, but I still don't thinkhe's gonna go that early. And to

(52:45):
be fair, like I said,he's I don't know anything about these players.
I don't well, I have noidea what he gets. He's he's
he's he gets the wrap that he'sundersized, and he's he's a little slow
and because he's white, you know, oh my goodness, and uh,

(53:06):
he's not going to go that early. And that's the fucking Bills kind of
player. So I wouldn't be surprisedif they did get Cooper to John kool
Aid, McKinstry, Brian Thomas Junior, those are kind of the big names
and I'm hoping to fall, butthey all went before the Bills here,
so like Brian Thomas j and tobe fair, Jurorjon Newton, who I
took the Bills here was ranked eleventhin this draft, so he fell.

(53:31):
But I don't fucking care about interiordefensive lineman anymore. Yeah, yeah,
well we're getting to the end ofthe episode. Yeah, no, Adam
said he had something to say aboutBills fans. Oh fuck. Then I'm

(53:51):
so mad at the Bills fans,dude. And I do this every year,
dude, And you know exactly whereI'm going with this with the whole
Jordan Poyer thing. Shut the fuckup. You forgot that he didn't want
to be here, okay, andwhen he was like, I need money,
and remember the time when nobody wantedhim to pay him money, and
then the Bills re signed him becausethey felt sorry for him. You mean

(54:15):
the time that he wanted to goto Miami and Miami didn want to pay
him, the time that he wantedto go to Miami from the beginning,
and when they didn't pay him,he was like, oh darn, guess
I'll go back to the Bills.And now we cut him, and he
went to the Dolphin, and hewent to the Dolphins, and everybody's so
fucking mad that he went to theDolphins, Like, shut the fuck up,
Bills fans, please stop. TheNFL is a business. Stop putting

(54:37):
your loyalty in these fucking guys becausethey're all gonna be gone anyway. Guess
what it's gonna happen to Josh Allentoo. You just don't know when it's
gonna be the same fucking thing.Oh, I can't believe the Bill's govern
to Josh Allen. Well, guesswhat, he's fucking thirty years old and
he's gonna go to another team eventually. I'm not saying now, okay,
right exactly, that's what I'm saying. Like Jordan Poyer is in his fucking

(54:59):
thirties, what two year old simmylike thirty three? Guess what he lives
in fucking Miami. Guess where hewanted to be close to fucking home.
Guess what. Miami doesn't have toa safety taxes or taxes, And now
they have a safety who probably won'tstart and still no tax but who knows.

(55:21):
Yeah, they don't have any taxes. You're exactly right. I mean,
we want to in New York becauseof taxes New York just you know,
and this goes for every fan base, and I know all the fans
of your team are are this wayabout about certain players. I'm sure Minnesota
fans are pissed that they didn't getKirk Cousins back, but who cares.
You want to know what I loveabout it is that they're like, oh,

(55:45):
he's done so much for this community. What the fuck has Jordan player
done for our community? Because youknow, they always do something like the
Jordan pol because they all have yeah, they all have and stuff, but
yeah, but like honestly, likecan anyone name what is done? Like
you can name other players have done, but like no one can say what
he's really done. And then they'relike, at the end of all,

(56:07):
he's like he's done so much forthis team. He got paid to play,
and he didn't bring us a championship, So I mean, like,
yeah, he was goody. Atthe end of the day, you think
about it this way, Chez,you have a job, Jay, you
have a job. I have ajob. Guess what if a job comes
along that's gonna offer me more moneythan I'm making now, I'm going to
leave my current job and go tothe new job. Okay. The NFL

(56:30):
is a business. It is ajob. This is their work. It's
just looked at differently because we lookto them as entertainment. We watch the
NFL weekly. We watch it onThursdays. Even though the fucking Thursday games
are trash, we still watch itbecause we're fans of the game. When
when college football is over it's onSaturdays, we watch it on Saturdays.
Guess what when there's special games onon Fridays like Black Friday this year,

(56:53):
and you know, Christmas Day ison a Tuesday or Monday or whatever the
fuck it falls, and when NFLwe're watching football regardless. It is a
business. At the end of theday. Guess what. Jordan player didn't
want to be here two years ago. Yeah, nobody wanted to pay him
money for a thirty two year oldsafety. Guess what, Bill's brought him
back. Great, everybody's happy.Guess what now, time for him to

(57:15):
go again to be where he wantedto be, because guess what, he
took less money to go back downto Miami. I don't know what the
fucking tell you. Well, I'mso tired of people getting this note like,
oh, I can't believe he didthat. Why why can't you believe
it? Because he was a BuffaloBill for what seven years? Yeah?

(57:36):
Great? Yeah. If anyone comesup to any three of us that are
sitting here right now, it's like, hey, we're going to pay you
more money, and also you're goingto keep an extra twenty percent because you
don't have to pay income taxes.We're all going to say, all right,
sign me up. Yeah, guesswhat your six million dollar salary is
going to be a six million dollarsalary because you don't have you don't have
to pay New York State whatever thefucking tax it is on a you know,

(58:00):
on a million dollar contract. Yeah, hello, think about it.
People like, great, he wasa Buffalo Bill. Did he play great?
Sure? And he also had injuriesand didn't stay on the field for
a full season. Yeah, veryaware of that. And he also knows
that this is probably going to be, like what his last year. Maybe
he's got another one or two ifhe's lucky. So it's like yeah,

(58:23):
so he's like, I'll take whatI can get and make the most I
can because this might be the lastcontract. So and he gets to go
home yep, right and playing better? Which is which is? Which is
where? Yeah, Like it's notlike he lived in Buffalo, like he
was always in Miami. So Imean, yeah, he literally lives in
Miami. He to my point,he's not off season to go back to

(58:46):
Miami. Yeah, he's not partof the community like other players live here.
So I mean, like, giveme, don't give Dion Dawkins.
Great guy, does a lot forthe community. Keep them. A lot
of people were a lot of peoplewere fucking so mad when he told everybody
on social media, say five billsit was a great run. Guess what

(59:07):
they extended him. Everybody's happy again. And here's a question that none of
us it's just a fucking business.Just just let these players be Well,
here's a question you guys don't havethe answer to. I know you don't
because I don't and nobody does becausethe number is probably shocking, and that
is like, I'm so sick ofhearing all these bills. Fans and people
are going, oh my god,it's the end of an era. Trey

(59:30):
White and Jordan Poyer and Michaeh andMichael Hyde, the end of an era.
How many fucking games did we playwith those three healthy in the past
three years? Seriously? Two?Three? Well, well you got to
thank all three are healthy on thefield. Six last year Trey messed what

(59:51):
three quarters of the season, theyear before that, like all of it,
the whole season. Yeah, it'sjust and they just don't understand the
business side of football and how itruns as a business. Like these players
are here. Yes, like Isaid, we view them as entertainment because
we're fans of the NFL, We'refans of our football team. But at

(01:00:12):
the end of the day, thoseguys are doing the things that are bettering
themselves and their families. Like,yeah, in three years or four years,
whenever Josh Allen's contract is up,am I gonna be mad if he
goes to a different team? No, I'm not. Is it gonna stuck
for a little bit because we're notgonna have a good quarterback. Sure,
I'm gonna be upset. I'm afan of the Bills. I love Josh
Allen. You know Patriots fans arethey still are mad that Tom Brady left

(01:00:37):
them, Like, I mean,what are you gonna do? Yeah,
it happens. It happens. It'spart of the process of being a star
athlete in a league that people watchfor entertainment. Yeah. Part part of
the fan thing too is like I'veseen fans were like, oh, how
could the Bills do this? Andit's like, what the fuck. Don't
you understand We're like negative sixty plusmillion dollars in the hole. How do

(01:01:00):
you think we're going to solve that? Yeah, we have to. We
have to cut aging players on theirlast year contracts for the most part,
and then restructure. Like this ishow it works. These players want the
most money they can get in asalary cap era, So these disser doesn't
have to be made because they wantpaid up the ass. So and let
them go do what they want todo to get their bag. Yeah,

(01:01:22):
just like somebody like Austin Eckler,he is pushing thirty years old, he's
falling off a cliff. He decidedthat thirty one, he wants to go
win a championship instead of assigned money, So he went to the Washington Commanders.
Because Austin Eckler is just about winning, He's not about money. Fucking
idiot. What a dumb ass.Austin Eckler. Just what it? I
didn't even get to I mean hedidn't even get paid that much money either.

(01:01:44):
No, he went and signed forlike four million dollars years with the
Washington Commanders to back up Brian Robinson. Like, good job, Brian.
I got shot in the ass Robinson. I got shot in the ass Robinson.
So good job, Austin Eckler.All right, let's let's get to
our game. That's my thanks formy thanks for listening to my rank.
Guys for your all right, we'reyes, thank you. That was fun.

(01:02:07):
So we're gonna play Weddle here,guys, for your guys you at
home and work. Start with Weddle. It's an NFL player guessing game.
It's only offensive players this round.I was gonna say, is this the
easy one? Okay, the easyone? So all right, what do
you start with? So you knowwe start Yeah, we always start with
Josh Allen, So let's go aFC east. I like it all right

(01:02:28):
right off the bat. We knowit's a quarterback and it's in the NFC.
He's an NFC quarterback. He's shorterthan six foot five, and he's
older than Josh Allen. So it'snot Kyle Murray, Kyler Murray Wilson.
It could be. No, he'snot. No, it's not. He's
a Steeler now he was ship isthis updated current would have been in Denver

(01:02:49):
anyway, so it should be Yeah, you're right. What about Genostrike Gino?
Is he is? I don't knowif he's he's older than Josh Allen,
he's be right. I didn't knowif he was taller, okay,
Josh? Yeah, But I thoughtwas like, all right, so he's
in between thirty three and twenty sevenand his number is lower than seven.

(01:03:15):
So think of the NFC quarterbacks thansix to three. Could it be Baker?
Could Could it be age? She'sthe same age as Josh. Isn't
he What what number was Baker Mayfield? Sixth? I thought, yeah,
oh that's right. I thought hewas ten? Got it? Nice good
call? Look at that Baker.Baker I knew was a year older,

(01:03:37):
because Josh was like the youngest prospectthat year. Nice could be got him.
So let's try. Let's try thehard one. This was this is
all the NFL, right, yeah, this could be defensive. We start
with Josh Hallen and Buffalo. Soit's an ANFC defensive fccaller holy shit,

(01:04:00):
and other than twenty seven. Sogod damn linebacker. So you're looking at
a tall linebacker in the ANFC.It's gotta be a lie or alignment,
is it. Uh? I wasgonna say, could it be an offensive
lineman though no, because it wouldbe yellow for the for this. I
think it would only be yellow ifit was a skilled position like a quarterback,

(01:04:23):
wide receiver, running back, ortight end. So I'm not positive.
But let's go defense. So it'snot a FC East, so we're
thinking AFC West, North, andSouth. Let's try Joey Bosa. Okay,
okay, So all right, soit is a defensive player. Oh
this is really interesting. Look atthe number he wears, number ninety eight

(01:04:44):
or ninety nine. Oh boy,he's a linebacker aligneman. He's taller than
six five though he's older than twentyeight, so he's going to be and
he wears for the North. Solet's think of somebody in like the Steelers.
What about he's either defensive line oror defensive back. Yeah, but

(01:05:05):
it's who where's number ninety eight ornumber ninety nine? That is the question,
right, But we're trying to we'retrying to, all right. So
it's an AFC South guy, AFCSouth. There's a defensive lineman AFC South.
He's twenty nine years old. SoAFC South, Colts, Titans,

(01:05:27):
Houston. Who am I missing?Jaguars? Jaguars? Could it be?
Could it be the other Josh Allen. No, he's a linebacker. He's
not that old, so I don'teven want to put it out. I
thought he was a defensive end.No, he's a linebacker. He's not
that old. He's he's he's nottwenty nine. And maybe we'll try it.
We'll try it. We'll do it, we'll try it. I don't
think it is because he's a linebacker, but we'll try it. I thought

(01:05:50):
he was a defensive end, butI could be I could be very wrong.
So okay, all right, Soit's not Jacksonville and his numbers like
four n Yeah, I didn't knowhis number Okay, so we got to
South, so we know it's notJacksonville. So so that leaves us with

(01:06:10):
the Colts, the Titans, andthe worst Jesus Christ, I can't Oh
my god, got it? Fuckdude, the he's older. Yep.
So it's the Forrest Buckner for theColts. Six, very nice poll.

(01:06:32):
I was actually gonna go the defensivelineman for the Titans. Simmons. Yeah,
that was a good is he?Well? I would have it would
have fit. Well, let's try, and I think I got a nice
share, right. I gotta resharenow? Yeah, so Reshare, we'll
do draft. Um stop that Resharedraft. I'm doing good man, that

(01:06:58):
was awesome. I right draft asalways? Jay, where are we starting?
Josh Allen draft? Although this oneis a drafting game, and this
first one is only offense, SoJosh Allen, we're gonna start with Josh
boy. Oh my god, soBuffalo first round pick. And so Buffalo

(01:07:18):
first round pick after Josh Allen,so defense. So the next year was
at Oliver. I thought this wasonly offense, Okay, so then it
would have been first round pick.Oh, it's gonna be dlpthink's the only
offensive guy we ever drafted. Yeah, yeah, got it? Wow on

(01:07:39):
round two, let's go, ohfucking go Okay, let's try the hard
one. Josh fucking Dalphin kid kSee that's what I get. How many
times have I complained that the Bills, that Shawn Me, that nickan have
only drafted Josh Allen and dlphin.I want to that's good, that's fantastic.

(01:08:01):
All right, So we got allright, So this is good twenty
eighteen in the in the NFC defensein the first round. So so it's
so where and he's higher than aseventh overall pick, so hard to fucking
Now, Now these guys where dideighteen and it was twenty eighteen? What

(01:08:27):
year did Nick Bosa get drafted?Yeah, he's like third overall? What
was it? Yeah, but I'llsay both anyway because it will it will
put us on the defensive, butit'll at least give us the NFC second
overall. See, even was wrong. So it's not the twenty nineteen okay,
So he's not a defensive ends shipsprobably all right? So yeah,

(01:08:49):
I was gonna say it's a defensiveback not in the west. So that
leads us with east, north andSouth and he's higher. What seven,
and he's higher than seventh overall pick. This is where I lose. I
just lose draft picks so easily becauseI can never remember what year anybody was

(01:09:11):
drafted. Okay, so let metry Marshawn Lattimore. I know that's not
the right year, but it willgive us a okay, so it's not
the south. Still higher than eleven, though he's not a corner though.
He's not a corner, so thatleaves us with safety or linebacker. So

(01:09:33):
it's probably linebacker if it's between defenseand corner. What about Terrell Edmonds?
He was drafted in twenty eighteen.Oh, you're right, safety, but
it's it's it's all right. Tremainewas as well. You're right. They're
both were lower than twenty eighth.Oh fuck yeah, I was AFC.
That's okay, so it's it's agood overall pick though. So yeah,

(01:09:57):
lower than the eleven. So theeleven being highlighted yellow means we're within two
or one. Yeah, it's likeNew Year eleven. So it's and it
was also near. It's gotta beeither around twelve or thirteen. I think
no, because it's overall pick.Gosh, Allen so it's eight. It's

(01:10:19):
got to be defensive line or thelinebacker. So let me choot. No,
one's no, one's cheating, guys. What about Roquan Smith? No,
he was the year before. Butlet's see. Yeah, but wasn't
he also AFC? No, roquandno he was? He was? He
was an FC was a bear.All right? Right right, r ok,

(01:10:44):
I'll find it here. Just gowith this. There, nobody's cheating,
guys, I promise you I'm notcheating here. You can see,
Okay, Roquan Smith. Okay,so he's not in life. So he's
an outside linebacker or an interior defensivewhat the fuck? Yeah? This guy
guy from the uh the Bucks,Jack Barrett. No, no, defensive

(01:11:08):
line, Vidavea, Yes, it'snot him. I don't think it's not
veto. But he's a defensive he'sa defensive tackle though. That's always good,
okay. And it's and it's higherthan twelve. So we're looking at
thirteen fourteen, all right, soVitavea went twelve? Who would have been

(01:11:28):
after him? And it's the NFFCCNFC Cowboy Eagle Cowboy Eagles. Uh giant
redskin. Oh sorry, my beadskin man, Dron Payne. Yeah,

(01:11:50):
it could be him. He's heyounger than that got him. That's good,
Paul, that's how you do it, guys. Let's just see what
what his actual uh stants were thereU thirteenth out of Alabama on the round.
Good job, guys, that onewas tough. Nice, that was

(01:12:10):
a tough one. The draft phonesare always tough for me. Like I
said, I don't follow it likeyou, Jazz. The defense is tough.
Yeah, when you start getting defensiveplayers, that gets hard. Well
we did. We did one lastweek where whoever the guy was, it
was some cornerback we never even heardof. Yeah. Well that's the problem
too, is because if they startgetting into like six to seventh round picks,

(01:12:32):
