will wander, Robinson's High Drive Capital, turning 90
gallon. A into a sunk cost for the giant. If you have to pick
one polite, if I'm, you know, if we're, if we're sitting here
on draft day, kenyala day or Wanda Robinson, both guys
going. I mean
kenyala days being drafted is wide receiver 54, 144 overall
on Yahoo Wanda Robinson isn't even being drafted. He's number
226 overall. But like
both guys, and a lot of 10 and 12, team drafts are not going.
Dropped it at all.
You in on one both or neither,
I'm not necessarily in on either of them. But I think
there's a trickle effect here. Okay I think Juan Dale make
scuderi has Tony irrelevant to me which I know might seem like
a crazy thing to say
especially because by the way he looked good last. Yes,
to too explosive games.
You always have to keep new regimes in mind. I was I'll be
completely transparent when we did draft day. I was floored by
this pick Rondell Robinson. Okay.
Because yes, it wasn't there pick. It was Dave. Gentleman's
pick up kid areas, Tony in the first. Years ago, sure. But one
day I'll Robinson is a slot player and he's a bit of
a gadget player, you can work them
on shallow crossers. But he's a guy that you're going to do
pitch passes sweeps bubble, screens get the ball in his
hands and expect big plays. And then when you look at
Gary's Tony, that should be his role as well. So
this to me was oh, this regime has their guy, you have
a buffalo regime that used Isaiah Mackenzie in this role. So, I'm
very fearful of canaries. Tony Kennon, Gowdy has made himself
a relevant on his own, not healthy, not effective anymore.
So I
guess you're buying any of the three Wanda.
Is intriguing, but I don't think any of the three, our
fantasy relevant right now. I don't mind them as a late round
flat again. I'm just telling you, I'm
Peter, King's been a friend of mine for a long, long time.
And, and before we ever worked together and Peter King, and
I have a tradition, we've done it for a decade. Now,
where,
you know, like about a week before the season Peter King,
and I would get on the phone together and like I would help
him with his Fantasy Draft. Just sort of like a teepee and
that kind of stuff and he would say like an umbilical me three
or four guys that
as you went through camp and he would owe
A year, that'd be one gem, absolutely one. Absolute gem.
Like my favorite is he gave me? Randall, Cobb rent-a-cop. You
know the year, Randall, Cobb broke through it when
no one was talking about real cop
anyway. So when Peter King tells me like hey, and of your draft
Wando, Robinson. Thank me later
my eyebrows go up. I'm like, okay,
okay. Yeah, I'm just up, Peter knows his stuff and he knows
that organization really well, obviously, Peter's a legend so
some sort of in, on it from that standpoint like as
a late-round flyer and obviously, he's interesting and Dynasty,
I'm a brined able believe. Sure, I do believe he'll turn
that around, but I think cards stacked against them
this year. Let's move on to the other New York team. The
the Jets here and Bruce Hall and Michael Carter is Bree sobbing
overdrafted within the
uncertainty around. His workload. Here
I did a whole briefs whole thing yesterday so I want to
turn this one over to you.
The probe res Hall argument is
super talented, like rate College tape and high draft
Capital
now. Hear you. But yeah, but you know anyway, so What are
your thoughts on Bruce Hall versus Michael Carter? I should
give you this context here.
I should give you this context before you answer, hang on
and by giving you, I really mean the audience,
Bruce Hall is currently going as running back to nineteen
on yah, that's early. Running back 1938, overall, Michael
Carter's going, it's running back. 46.
Basically, 25 pics later at running back 108 overall.
So anyway, Michael Carter or briefs hall both. All both
neither one.
I think call us being a little Little slightly overvalued and
Carters being undervalued because I think this is a jet
staff that they don't look at it. And go, oh, we have a goal
line back or we have a pass catching back. They're just
going to
use both of them. They're going to look at their
obviously. They come from San Francisco. If you look at La
Flora his brother and Green Bay the way the way they use
running backs, they are going to use both. These guys, they
are going to run the ball. Lat what we like about Bruce Hall
is that he's big. He's fast. He can be a 3 down player and
Michael Carter has a little bit of an injury history. Now
he got banged up last year when they increase this workload.
I think if you're drafting briefs Hall with that kind of
value or that premium, You're Expecting The Big results down
the road late at second half of the season. So if you can
survive till then I think
the results for briefs are going to be very big from week
eight and on, but early on Michael Carter is the guy
that's returning into this system. I think it's going to
be more of a split work shareware.
That's that's a big. Big draft capital from Bruce Hall Breeze.
Homemade my hate listings because he's going top 18, top
19 among running backs. I just think that's insane for
a running back that That to your point is going to be in
a committee
on a team that has that ran the ball. The least in the NFL last
year. No team had less rushing attempts last year than New
York Jets and there's not a lot
coming into the season where I'm like, well, all of
a sudden, this team's gonna be able to really ramp it down
people's throats, like it's still a work in progress. And,
by the way,
any potential optimism you had for this, this Jets teams
rushing offense to me,
went out the window when Makai beckons out for the year. Yes,
well, I mean like, it's a bad offensive linemen they just
lose beckton like
Their best offensive lineman like you know I mean like
I don't know. I just I don't I get it in Dynasty
and
we none of us are questioning res Halls talent but
I'm not even convinced unless something happens to Michael
Carter, where he just gets tons of volume.
I'm with you. I just,
I think again Bruce Hall
on the hate list for me because of where he's being drafted.
I much prefer. Michael Carter.
You know, going whatever. Running back, 46. getting even
if he gets 40 percent and he's going to get more passing down,
work that I think Bruce Hall will
I think he's certainly the better value. If you decide to
invest in the Jets running attack, what about the Jets
passing attack here at Connor,
Garrett, Wilson, and Elijah more can Zach Wilson. Support
multiple fantasy wide receivers. We know we can, we
can know he can
juggle his personal life. Yes,
there's a lot of ways I could go with that, but you know
what, it's a Friday. I don't want to Lexa to have to answer
more HR emails. I just I just want. I just I just, you know,
whatever it be bad if I got canceled my first week, right?
Second week, it's fine. First day, you die first day, be bad.
I don't want to, I don't want to stay in you with that. But
let me just say that when I was saying, exact Wilson can juggle
multiple, there's a lot of ways I could go with the end of that
sentence and I just decided
on personal life.
Let's go with this though. Kenny support multiple fantasy
relevant wide receivers. The key thing here is wide
receivers and that's why the answer is no. The Jets have
a lot of mouths to feed on purpose. They paid two tight
ends. Yeah, CJ was AMA and Tyler Conklin. Tyler Conklin is
going to be a focal point
of that passing attack. Corey Davis is still
Oh, they're making a lot of money and he's going to start.
They brought back Braxton Barrios. Who's not going to be
a starter but a guy, they will use in the slot. That's a, they
will use him in the slot. So, no, I don't think Zach. Wilson
can support multiple fantasy wide receivers, but the guy you
should be buying in this offense has Elijah
more. He's thank you wanted. He's explosive. He's really
a Brandin. Cooks. Clone they like playing on the outside their
base offense, and they showed this, a lot of people didn't
catch it. Because
Zack Wilson got hurt, and that's where the focus was
their base offense with the starters, is Corey Davis on
the outside, Elijah more on the outside. At the slot on
the outside Garrett, Wilson in the slot now, I do think your
Wilson can func have be a highly functional
player from this Latias, inside-outside versatility. But
once again is this a high-powered offense yet? No
but Elijah more is the guy to own. Yeah. And I don't think
people, I don't think people appreciate. I mean I think
people just forget
what Elijah more did last year. Again from weeks, 9 through 13.
He was the second best wide receiver in terms of total
points and fantasy points per game. Cut at least one
touchdown in four or five games. And if you remember like
it was like
it was like, Mike
Mike Smith and then Zach Wilson and Joe Flacco like it didn't
matter who was under center for the jet Point. Here's
the catch. He's good with Joe Flacco, right? So, and flag was
going to play week one, it's probably worse caste groups. So
you have to worry about a drop-off of more to Flacco.
Actually. Think more has looked better with Flacco right by
the way.
Pretty good and interesting. DFS play in week 14. You
I would just say there with Elijah more and Joe Flacco
under Center fifth among rookies in receiving yards last
year as well. My quite what did I say? Mike Smith, Mike Smith.
It's a game played with a generic.
The exact. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, he did not play with
a former Falcons head coach. He played with my quite apologies
to my quite and Coach Smith on that
but anyway, whatever. Elijah more if Mike Smith was
quarterback, Elijah more would still be good.
Anyway, so right, I think people are sleeping on Elijah
more. I'm at wide receiver 3268
overall Yahoo estimate wide, receiver 3580 second overall.
So I'm higher in the positional and the consensus over all
ranks on him again. He made the Loveless yesterday. Check out
love-hate. By the way is up on rotor world.com and
BC sports edge.com,
and it is free, baby.
It is 100% free. All of my work
will be free and people like
you're just going to talk, then you're going to try.
No, no, let's catch. No catch, guys.
It is, it is, it is literally,
it's in my deal,
guys. It's in my deal.
I'm going to be at NBC for a long, long time, and it's in my
deal. As long as I'm writing, it's going to be free. So
just so, you know, there,
appreciate NBC for that. Please go to
rotor world.com for NBC Sports said to check that
out. All right, sticking with rookie wide.
Receivers. We had, we opened the show with Damien pierce.
The talk of town. Yeah. Looking for the dog down a wide
receiver, it spent George Pickens, there's no secret
about that. Second round wide receiver
guy with a fascinating background coming out of
Georgia and not a ton of production was hurt but
the town. So he's been there, he's exploded this summer and my
question to you Matthew Berry is
it seems like the world is forgotten about Chase. Claypool
is George. Pickens. Going to make everybody continue to
forget about Chase Claypool or are you still interested in
the value that he brings with the Steelers starters? So
So George Pickens is currently going wide receiver 43.
Chase Claypool going his wide receiver 49. This is on Yahoo.
Okay, almost, right. I mean and so
so Pickens is going ahead of Chase Claypool and I think
I'm not a Chase Claypool fan
to be to be clear. I think to many mental mistakes,
feels immature.
But having said that, I think one thing that people are
overlooking here with Claypool
is, he's a big guy, he's a big guy. What is Claypool like 64?
It's something like that. Yeah, six point five to forty. Yeah,
exactly. Like a tight end at wires. Exactly.
And they're playing him out of the slot this year. Like that
would just I'm just trying to think of like that guy and
the slot against the linebacker is unfair. Yeah, is unfair. And
so, I just 64 240. I'm being told in my, in my ear
by Brian Ruben. Who's again, apologetic about rookies versus
veterans. I apologize to the audience as well. Very
specifically their
18% of claypool's routes were from the slot last year, but he
was. So he didn't, he didn't run very much, but when he did
run,
he was targeted like, you know, a decent amount when he ran out
of the slot last year.
I don't know. I think
I think people be surprised at how productive he is. And
that's what I think that's a really smart move by Pittsburgh
to put him there. So let me throw it back to the Zach.
Wilson argument
can true Biscay at War picket and it's probably both this
year. Let's have an honest conversation support. Deante
Johnson,
Chase Claypool George Pickens
Pat, fire, Muth and Nagi Harris. Hey,
like, what do you, what do you do with that?
I actually think they can. Okay.
I think they can because by the way,
they were supported last year, I mean, so obviously not
picking corpse but but
yeah, small been as we go, right? I mean right, that's by
the way. Shout at the J Croucher, that's his job, not
mine, but I'm stealing it
because he's not here. He's getting served by kangaroos on
the beach. Again, it to me, the keys, the boat I
like because they're not your friends, no, no.
And they probably have like a little red vest to like
a little red button and they hold the tray like
a kangaroo, just comes up to you, you're like, oh my God,
but if they get a little bow tie then they're cute. Then
they're like waiters fair. Then they're like waiters and they
hop up and they just, you know, they reach into the karate,
chop you.
No no, no, no, you don't get tipped if you're listen, that
roster, the Kangaroos and I'll show you the trainer smart.
Like, if you want, you want to be, you know, you want to tip
you don't kick the cuts Fair, everyone knows this Connor.
They have the bottle opener in the pouch
that the waiter Look in the mirror. Now that's what I think
it's worth. I think it's on their neck. Okay. But at this
time, I think it's around their neck.
I've been worked out my kangaroo waiter.
We're close it. We're going, it's a warm workshopping. I'm
workshopping It
Anyway.
Back to see how there's
we're off the rails.
It only took two segments but what I would say is
here is that? Yes I
am and I don't know that. I don't think it's that
controversial, but I haven't heard a lot of the people make
this point. These healers offense can be better this
year, Mitch of Biscay
and Kenny It are upgrades. I think actually, fairly
significant ones
over Ben Roethlisberger. What Ben Roethlisberger go as last
year,
Big Ben is a, is a first-ballot hall-of-famer. There's no
question about it, but the last two years, it's just like
he wasn't, he wasn't saying, when is he going to hang it
out, right? He wasn't the say, he wasn't the same guy, right?
So anyway, I actually think. And so all those guys like
Claypool, deante Johnson, Pat fire mirth Nagi Harris,
we're all viable at various points last year, obviously,
Johnson, Johnson, Harris. Great fire. Muth was a you know by
below and tighten one
so especially given like claypool's going at wide
receiver 49
and and Pickens is going at wide receiver 43. So
I especially at that ATP. I think both are interesting.
I do think, I think it's gonna be a run first. I think it's
re-passed. First offense. All right. Last one here in, we're
going to New Orleans Crusoe Lobby
or Michael Thomas
for people that are just kind of
give me your quick thoughts on a lava coming out of Ohio
State. And we can sort It talked about the situation in
New Orleans. Yeah. For a Ready Player. And that's one of
the biggest compliments. You can give a wide receiver because
most of the time it's getting ports. It's needs a bigger
route, tree needs, this needs refinement, a lot of a
played, a lot of football for a big-time program.
He one vertically. He won on intermediate routes. You can
win in the short game. He's not a big yards after catch guy but
in this offense that's not what is going to be required of him.
It's going to be to win your assignment at all. Three levels
of the
football field and
say what you want, or what you think about Jameis Winston he
can deliver the ball though, all three levels of the field.
So, lava is a perfect fit for what they want to do. He gets
on the field immediately as at minimum the number two. I don't
know if I'm giving the anything away here. But at
the minimum, number two wide receiver,
excellent tracking, excellent, body control, that's going to
play in the red zone as well, where you smaller body type.
But because of the former the tracking and the concentration,
he'll make big plays in the end zone as well. So I like a lot
of weight loss. Yeah, I do too.
Honestly, the question for me,
I love a lob. A actually one of the commanders to get him, he
was there. I was hoping you would fall to the Commander's
he felt for the Planters and then they
Traded to the Saints and the Saints wind up with a Lobby
anyway seeing move. It was it I mean they got dot sounds good,
that's good too and he's they love him. I will tell you
watching you they love you hon Dotson and
and he's crushing it in Camp and so and they got some extra
pixels. See how that pans out. Certainly Washington had. Some
depth needs.
Having said that to me, the answer, the answer this
question is, is Michael Thomas healthy? That's all it. Because
if Michael Thomas is healthy,
he's the guy. Yep. I mean, we like a Lobby, I'm with you as
a number two,
you know? And I prefer a Lobby to Jarvis Landry for looking at
the It's passing tree, but Michael Thomas is healthy,
he's the wide receiver. You want
in New Orleans but that's the big question if he's already
now he's dealing with a hamstring injury and so we just
don't know
about him. I would say that when you think about a lot of
a going wide receiver 47, given the injury history of Thomas.
Even if Thomas like,
you know, the hammy clears up and he's going to be there for
Week 1. I think a lot of, he's a really interesting late-round
guy because
there's probably a chance. Michael Thomas, mrs. Sometime
after your point. He's Pro ready? We think this is going
to be a pretty good offense. Winston is a professional
quarterback. Again, I use that phrase all the time.
There are flaws and Jameis Winston's game, but he can get
the he can support fantasy relevant wide receivers, he's
a vertical thrower. I actually think I think a lobbies
a really good wide receiver for Jameis Winston skillset. Yes.
So I think it was a smart move by New Orleans and
knowing what they were dealing with this year. So
given where he's going
and you know, 109th
overall. Yeah, I think Chris hola becomes really interesting
there.
