"You're a Broncos, saying about his performance there, too, plays this stand out to me, and I want to ask If they were under throws. If they were mistakes by Teddy, the first one he mentioned there with the KJ Hamler deep pass that Ben said that that he thought that was not only a bad spot for Teddy to throw the ball to. It was also under thrown. KJ should have come up with it. It hit him in the stomach, but we'll get to that. The other one was a pass down the sideline to Noah Fant. That was super short. Hit the defender in the back, basically, so I wanted to know based on what those two were. What did you know? This and what is what are we going to see the breakdown? Yeah, well, I mean, listen, I'm going to nerd out about the one that he under throws the thing because it's what we call Why shallow special, but it's also their deep pain or their Seahawk. Which they run. So much of So to me, This is like this is the you know, High five to Pat Shurmur, because it's like, dude recognize. Hey, we lead the league and running Cuba too deep, You know, Seahawk. Let's go ahead and throw shallows special off of it. And by God, it was wide open, right? We've got to hit that one. You thought, Teddy? I mean, you know he was picked right? Like He knows being well that he under through it, and that you know, should be a chunk play. The other one is the same exact play for Minnesota. Right? Everyone in the league. Run that right now It's easy. Read where both those guys Are really on. Hey, go ahead and take the roof off. But if you can't sit at 16 to 20 yards Well, we just so happen to have the one dude in the NFL outside of Tyreek Hill, who doesn't have to sit right? You have KJ Hamler like there's two people consistently on film who don't sit on the read, and it's KJ Hamler and Tyreek Hill. That's it. That's the only two guys in the NFL right now that have proven you know what I can just run by you. No matter what coverage you're in. And then bend 100%. Right, Heidi just under through that, right? That's not like, you know, when you have KJ hamler out there, go ahead and let it rip. But you better let that being referred early. I think You know again. I don't want to start like, Oh, Drew would have done this. But that is the one that drew hit in Minnesota. Right? And I think in terms of what does Teddy need to do? He just needs to get the ball out a little sooner And then obviously, KJ still needs to make that play. But when you're talking about It's not like a little under thrown to where I can slow down and still being tried and the receiver has to do the full 1 80 back pedal and then try to catch it while someone's closing on me. It's a lot more difficult than That people are going to make it out to be. No. Yes, it hit him in the stomach. But there were a couple like Mike Evans had on Thursday night. It ended up hitting him a stomach. But You know if you were to ask Brady after he'd say, Yeah, I threw it way too late. So that's you know, why would the window the way it was? It hit him in the stomach. But that's a heck of a. You know, we've all done distraction Drill. That's a Hard cast in reality. Yeah, I think that's the thing most people don't realize they're turning your body around like that. The ball gets in on the inside in on your chest like that. It makes that catch a lot more difficult. Teddy should have put it up and outside. You know, KJ was Wide open. I mean, wide open on that play, but you know, you got to hang on to that as a receiver to I mean, that's on your hands, ball hitting the hands ball, which gets catchable like that. You've got to catch those. And so you know, I don't want to nitpick teddy down because I don't want to Teddy hater guy, but that was that was a ball that, you know, looking in looking for things to criticize. That was one that jumped out. Um, overall, I felt like the offensive line held up pretty well, Um, I just didn't like the way they didn't get much push in the run game. Yeah. I mean, they really didn't I I ate I don't want to say that that was by design because you never design a run, play and not be successful. I do think that the Giants and this is like I haven't seen this since I've broken down like You know holy oak not to not to take a shot at Holyoke. But like you could literally get the Giants to auto check in the bear like just running 12 personnel out there, And I do think Pat Shurmur was running 12 personnel out there to get this single high coverage. And that they are front and then he should have just thrown out of it. Right. If you know a team's going to auto check you into something that stops the run. You should probably not run the ball. I don't want to say like, Hey, I don't want to fully bailout the line because there's situations where Hey, listen, we're big on big and we still need to get a push right? Like when you're talking like just team mentality and offensive mentality. You want to talk about that without being said as a coach when they spend a single high coverage. We need to throw the ball and I think You know, I really after watching the film and Washington the makeup of the game. I really wonder if we're going to see a transition. To a Broncos off and it is the first in 10 more traditional drop back or play action team because I do think what Teddy showed in terms of his decision making and traditional drop back quick game. And the play action, not the run action stuff with the play action that I think he just made enough Good decision to where you could really say you know what? I'm 1st and 10. Let's go ahead and throw the ball. Right, Let's turn into a team that we're gonna we're gonna, you know, have a modified running game by getting it to the perimeter earlier and I do think that we have to do to do it and listen. K. J. Hammond got to play a little bit more, put him in the slot and just throw a bubble. There's some stuff that you can do. To really alleviate if you start seeing these heavy fronts, and then, of course, like you guys know the second, they spin back and play too high. That was just run the ball because we have the numbers. That's exactly right. Actually thought overall, Teddy did a pretty good job, and I would love to. You know your perspective on it of of checking things out, getting his protections and, of course, Monitoring what they were doing with the box. But the question I want to ask you more specifically because you tend to be fairly critical of Pat Shurmur and some of your breakdowns. What do you think about the play calling? The past the man I mean, there's like tonight..

"Just kind of shocking. Forty two percent player ends up. It just shows the kind of opportunities that tom. Brady's offense will provide an explosive running back us. And when you have a game of twenty three carries for a hundred and ninety two yards you kind of you. Kind of knocked out fifteen games right there instead of the fourteen. You actually played all right. Mike evans you've got to be confident. Starting him in week one antonio brown take it for what you will. Which is a bunch of bruce. Arians smoke but Says he's playing like five years ago and the smoke emanating from arriens just his aura as a very high guys paik. Yeah he's warm at all times smoke emanating from him just never seen but more actual smoke read human being in my life. He's converted his skin. Color is the tampa bay team. He like a like a chameleon. I he went from the cardinals to the. That's it he says all you can do or or maybe like maybe you know. The shirts is just like when he puts it on his rubbing off. I don't know but He needs to take a deep breath. Yeah calm down through meditation. Bruce just won a super bowl. This would be the year where he could kind of normal color again right. No he will. Never he's always like donald duck ya blowed. Yeah he needs to go the bills. You know what. I mean like technically quail the blue. Yes in the cold didn't he. Technically he retired from the cardinals. He left the cardinals on health. Wink wink it will definitely had nothing to do with the depleted roster. That anyone with nfl ability could see was heading for the dumpsters team. Looks like they're about to get the number one. Pick my heart. Rob gronkowski is starting this. Yes i think so. I ki- i. We brought this up. But i would rather play rob gronkowski this week. Over noah fant Fan dealing with you know whatever leg issue he's got going on. And what if one of your friends signed rob gronkowski. So you can't do that. Is that what you did. No mike did. I did i. I think he's a sneaky. Start but oj howard. Being there. at. I mean he's still tight end on the roster for the box and like rob gronkowski. It's it's hard to really track down. What what she you know was it that he was acclimating to the offense. You know he didn't really have he had retired and he came out of retirement to go. Join the buccaneers. Slow start or was that slow start because oj howard was around and then when howard went down with the injury that's when gronk really started to flourish in this offense so that's that remains to be seen for me The i mean you guys talked about how much tom brady likes. Antonio brown is one of the reasons why you like antonio brown this year. That is certainly true of rob gronkowski in that connection over the years So that's something to consider. I am kind of taken aback by something. Al borland our producer has alerted me to Wait this isn't real. Isn't a apparently in july. Bruce arians set on sirius. Xm that he had a stomach pump twice as a child for drinking paint. So that could wonder what color that eight was. Read those becker. Two thousand seventeen. Yeah but okay but twice as the real question me wants. Allies ninety eight some mean brothers. That was my takeaway want to return to the paint. Can well it's delicious here yet is also kids. Don't drink paint if i didn't know it already. Don't drink nine good for you. In fact i was back at when paint had lead in it was really delicious.

"I've i've seen them ended up on my rosters before even though i've got him at twelve he's a value because the aaron rodgers thing if aaron rodgers came back this off season and just back back back. He'd probably be easily the being drafted as the titan cigarettes. so yeah. I think he's a value and i'm willing to draft him in the ninth. His his career arc is interesting because he was he was a smaller school guy so tight ends from smaller schools. It's it's tougher for them to get get a fair shot. Even though he absolutely dominated a he was a production machine in his college days goes on drafted has to work his way up in. So i think that following the career arc tanya can still be of higher level Fantasy tight end to me. Yeah i agree and now we've finished all the good tight. It's mike ezekiel nine. See dallas got her to ten not interested in either one me either. Everything here is choice overdraft price and the price is too high for both those players. Yeah you actually have to pay a little bit more for those players in dallas goddard's going in the seventh round that's because we you know in the his. Adp got establish when nobody thought zacharias was going to be there. When zack is going to be there. Look douse got her way. Better blocker than hurts the arts you know in the first preseason game he was running more routes than got her. It really stinks. I wanna got it as breakout. Love him but with hurts their no mike ezekie lot was made about. How oh me. And they were using the tight end for the first preseason game. Miami didn't have while they didn't have fuller. They didn't have any of their wide receivers. Of course they're using the tight end. They water was out there but they they use the tight end but not singular tight end. They were using the tight end position like multiple guys and is not even out there for every single snap. You're gonna have explosive. Plays have disappearing. Yes. there are a few breakout calls. You can try to make later in your draft guys like bigger. Erm is more interested in talking about these guys. Irv junior no offense or from the minnesota. Vikings big herb smith noah fant is going in the seventh round. So we didn't you know we don't have him ranked where the consensus community has ranked. Which look i see the path. I mean if drew lock takes a step forward which it's possible or if teddy bridgewater bring some consistency. He had games last year At least he's young. At least he fits the mold. Jason you talked all about third year teaching hopkinson. The breakout like fant is a player that provides you big play upside on a regular basis checks a lot of the boxes. The strikes against him are basically quarterback. Play and jerry. Judy and portland sutton just the fact that he can't. He's not going to lead this team and targets. He's not going to be second in this team target. So that's the downside here for for fan but the talent is certainly there. Trautmann is going in the twelfth round. Mike you've put him on the map. Yeah trauma in new orleans saints tight end you have matan overall. We've talked a lot about on trauma but if you just coming back to the show tied in for the new orleans saints was a third round. Pick a couple years ago. The team traded all lot to go and get him and then they released jeered cook and josh hill over the off season and went all in on adam trauman. The first preseason game was concerning He did not see target however he was out there almost the entire game. So i'm not going to be more concerning. Yeah that's that's what i'm saying. It's troubling to to not see him get a target. But i'll wait until the precedes him week to to you know. Start making some adjustments. Because you want you would like to have your tight out there. Be a full-time player. Be like a gregg olson type of guy who's excellent blocking but then there's also a dynamic pass catcher which adam trauman is. Yeah i mean that'll be interesting to watch Forgotten down at the back of the draft. Is evan ingram. he's a value. He s he led the team targets. Last jeter talented. Yeah i know you're talking about ingram. I've always hated everything room and so for me. To say is the value means. He's actually a value. Because i don't i don't wanna talk them up. I think in dynasty leagues as well. He's a great target because he's still very young. He's probably going to switch teams I don't see the giants paying up for him and he's got the town if another team goes and pays a lot i think he's got a bright future and he's you know the titan eighteen right now which means he's undrafted which tight end is going to end up on more of your officers. It'll definitely tyler is is the one that ends up on the majority of teams so same for me. Yeah i would say man at this point is it's irv or trautmann. I wanna get some hopkinson. So what i need to have happened is. I need to be really good leagues where people are taking all my fifth round targets and then i will happily take him because he's on my list of fifth round targets but usually for for a late and i take that back who's going to be on. Most teams is one of the top. Three tight ends. Do you have a super deep tight in sleeper pick. That could break out. That i mean i know. Traumas kind of that for you might be yanked pretty high. Is there somebody else on the radar for either of you guys. I have one name. I know your name do you. Yeah i mean. I can like guess who is it. Is this gigantic. No that's a good one. Yeah that's the indianapolis colts tight end. He is the largest man in all of existence. The that ever walked the face of this earth. And we've we've seen you know carson wentz who will be back soon in later we've seen him over target his tight end. There's t y. Hilton is no longer a number one wide receiver. I like michael pittman a lot but you gotta leave room for. There's no one who is fully established as carson wentz go to target and it could end up being one of the tight ends..

"Complicated setup. I'm not saying the offense was complicated. But if you're a young quarterback and you got jerry. Jeudy in melvin gordon and caja hamler noah fant and phillip lindsay. Oh my gosh. I i got guys going crazy go. Whoa i mean. That's that's kind of how i felt with your lock. Miss on quinn. Nelson can bone says mr clinton nelson and took chubb nelson is in that. But i mean come on their lines good now so is it feel like that. Big of a miss in isn't nelson left guard. I think he's alive. Which again these guys could move. They can move over the we could play that. What if game forever. What if brady didn't have the elite defense that he had josh. Allen is the worst miss. The dude has it no. That's an emotional. Vote right there. You can't just say that just because he's doing good now. Does it mean miss one year of doing great. So i mean again if okay if he if he goes on to win the super bowl or two would you then change your mind. Would you go. And now i wouldn't be. You're you're not confident. In what the broncos had to offer that stage saying you weren't confident that allen would be clearly something clicked with him and buffalo. They worked together and made it work. Yeah he's worry supposed to be. Yeah so words. Yeah i mean. He was asked about that. I do think guys. Are they find the right fit. Why do you think. Aaron rodgers will so damn mad when they when they fired his quarterbacks coach..

"Maybe he could be second. That would be surprising over camera but he could be third in that. It's gonna be harboring the top five but top eight something like that. I mean that could definitely happen. so i that's what you're excited about right. The role that travel could play and he was a third round pick chavez. kelsey was the third round. Pick granted was like thirty picks earlier than trautmann overall Kid who was a fifth round pick. But you get good good tight ends in the third round in the nfl draft there. There are one hundred and forty two targets vacated in this new orleans offense from emmanuel sanders injured. Cook leaving the team Twenty one touchdowns two saints tight ends over. The last two seasons they were tied for the eighth most tight ends and twenty twenty eighth most touchdowns to tight ends in two thousand twenty tied for the second most touchdowns to tight ends in two thousand. Nineteen the target share. I hope it ends up working out. Trautmann's way where he's third. I think he's going to have to be best unless there's an injury again and he's just going to need a high catch rate to boost the efficiency there but i think the touchdowns could be in favor. I could see him being a. He's a big guy. He's tough to take down. I could see him being a reliable red zone option for james. Who's leaned on tight ends going back to his college days. If james is the guy really liked trauma and if it states hill than i'd like trautmann i read a little bit on that. I think over the past two years. Jared cook has shown us the recipe. It's the reason. I don't have trautmann. Projected very high. Because i don't ever believe it but each of the past two years. Jared cook has had some value because he's scored sixteen touchdowns on hundred and five targets. You should never ever ever. I don't think bet on somebody doing that. But he's done it two years in a row and been useful despite the fact that he averages like forty receiving yards per game. I don't know if how much of that was related to breeze. And if they'll score passing touchdowns at the same rate they have the past two years but he like his path to being a fantasy relevant player. I think is the jared cook path. He needs to score at a very high rate. And what about tyler higby. Where's the love for tyler higby. Because he's definitely. I think a lot of people are gonna see him in a higher tier than this. And you haven't basically at the bottom of your tier. Yeah maybe a little bit of this as me. Just being burned by him last year. I was extremely bullish on tyler. And he ended up not being the factor that i thought he would be. I think this is still gonna be an offense that downfield and leans on the receivers a little bit more and higby is still going to have his fair. Share of pass blocking duties in this offense stafford. A tight ends. I've done the work on that Anywhere from twenty one to twenty two percent of all his throws of gone too tight ends three of the past four years anywhere from ten to twenty six point. Nine percent of his total touchdowns have gone too tight ends over the past four years younger. There's an opportunity there with ever gone. Chur that higby is worth a late pick. Yes he's in that same vein as blake jarwin. He's a potent offense..

"Because i think he's got like big time sleeper potential. The other guys that are buying them. There are some that are like that. Coal commit fits that profile. Maybe sickie fits that profile. A little bit But there's there's also logan thomas in this tier crockett's in this year guys. That are just you know. Maybe they get you close to ten. P p r points more often than not nothing sexy. Nothing fun but something someone. That'll help your. Help pad your stats. A little bit. With the occasional touchdown mixed in or in the case of grog. That's how he's going to get. The majority of his points. Here is via touchdowns so maybe a couple of weeks this year. He'll have like five catches to go along with it a couple things well and i actually have. Oj howard overgrown. He was better last year when they were both healthy. And i think if he's if he's recovered his most certainly better athletes better downfield threat than broncos at this stage of their careers. I mean some people might say that at one point was most talented tight. End in football. Didn't say that. And is it time for the coal. Commit one positive one negative step that you created. I haven't done a good bad staffer. Cochabamba sure yes. Give me your one positive. One negative staffer combat the positive. When i think a lot of people have have said already if you look at the bears last six games including the playoffs. Yes the bears the playoffs last year. Coal commit out targeted jimmy. Graham thirty four to seventeen and that's fantastic like clear number one tied in for the bears in those last six games Unfortunately grand still in the team which is why that matters but should make you feel good be negative stats and those same six games. Graham scored fifty two point seven fantasy points. Commit scored forty three point two. Yeah he right. He had an eighteen percent target share. Which i think you'd take right. Oh dallas got her projected for right Was the i'm assuming of his touchdowns that made the difference in the pbr. Points it was partial. It was a lot of it was touchdowns. Most of it was touchdowns. Also though like jimmy graham was one of the least efficient tight ends to see as many targets as he did last year like six yards per target nine yards per reception. Really really awful stuff. Coal commit was worse than both roberta. Yeah okay that's that good. I think that what. I've noticed. I've given out these statistics on different shows but already said we've had surprise players in the top five three years in a row. We've had a number two tight end. Get into the top five and none of them had more than none of them. Had even six hundred yards as rookies. So it does happen and logan. Thomas wasn't a rookie. But he was top. Five and darren waller wasn't a rookie but he was top five two years ago and last year. Obviously so this is a position that gives you these nice surprises and targets to me. That is the most important thing almost every top. Five tight end over. The last five years has been first or second on his team in targets. I think the only exception was robert onion and he was three or four targets behind number two. So you've got to be among your target leaders and trautman. I don't know that he's going to be second. That's the thing but he could be third..

"Which we should. I think that everybody's worried about courtland sutton at right. I mean that's kind of hits not just sutton. It's judy too. Well courts um right. And that's the thing that i've said this before. I believe most fantasy analysts. Think just from a pass catching fantasy perspective. They'd rather have. Noah fant and tj hopkinson. But the situation has changed so much where hodkinson lost marvin jones and kenny. Golladay and fant added courtland sutton basically. I think that's probably the industries. It's just like this offense and play. Caller and quarterback is not quarterback the whole time and teddy bridgewater could change things or rodgers. Could for a good way. They've averaged one hundred and thirty three targets. Too tight ends over. The past. three seasons. Shurmur is offense says and it's been one hundred and forty each of the past two seasons. So yeah i think courtland sutton is definitely going to get targets but do we think those tight end targets are going to shrink from one hundred and thirty or one hundred and forty down to a hundred no But he had ninety three targets and fourteen games. So what's that in sixteen. What's that in. Seventeen yeah even more. Yeah and again. it's just i i lean more. I think there's enough targets. I mean we've talked about this. Before the broncos through like one hundred and thirty passes to players that wide receivers specifically that they don't need to throw to near as much. They threw one hundred and seventy nine passes to tim. Patrick caja handler dejean amilton. It's good point and it's never been. I did a bet on talent right fans got it. Well the problem. I've got with fans at a. He was inconsistent last year. And be they. Don't throw them enough passes near the end zone. If those two things change he's on. Don't get your talent is good. I've got concerns about the quarterback situation. There of course but last year he started with thirty three points in his first two games. He averaged seven point five. Pr points in his remaining thirteen. Only three games with ten plus. Pr points he had six target. Six six targets that were either front of the end zone or in the end zone last year. Six he needs. More work was tied for eighteenth and red zone targets among titans with ten growing in the ball more near the goal line. He'd be fantastic fantastic..

"To you make. I take got hurt and fan. I mean basically those stat lines are very very close slightly. Better than what we got from. Hopkinson and logan thomas last year. Yeah talking diggins smith ahead of both for sure. I have judy rankin. Pr head of both. I'm definitely taking judy fan. And now let's do. I'm sorry what would you say like comments in parkinson finished third and fifth. And that's you know it's not that wasn't that great in terms of per game production but they also scored thirty more fantasy points than tied in twelve so getting into the next tier for dave hodkinson andrews pits and daughter. Heath would have noah fant in that group next year and he would have hopkinson ahead of that group. The next tier is round nine through ten upside starters. Irv smith noah fant jonnu smith and robert tanya irv smith noah fant jonnu smith and robert tanya. That's dave's fourth year so he you don't have fan here. You have fans here ahead of of this group and you. Who's in that to your anyway. Yeah it's similar guys not jonnu smith. Because i don't. I don't like the patriots situation but i've got logan. Thomas austin hooper. irv smith blake jarwin. Arik ebron robert onion not very similar. Well no it's it's. It's two of the three guys that i didn't already list plus a bunch of others. I just think you get to this range and this is your projection for these guys is like nine fantasy points per game. It's not exciting at all. is there upside. i think almost universally. There's upside there's some demonstrated upside from guys like tanya and hooper who we don't think can ever do what they did in the past but they have done it same for ebron. And then there's some and logan thomas and there are some hopeful upside with guys like irv smith and blake jarwin. I think this is the spot where you start taking. Chances with your tight ends. What type of tight end are you looking for in round nine around. Ten first and foremost don't have a tight end already. You're looking for a starter you're looking for someone they'll say okay. I can start this guy for at least the first couple of weeks of the season see how he does and then make a decision after that. The four tight ends. That i have here i think have the most upside of all the remaining tight ends left on the board and a lot of it's based on just what i've what i've watched on film. There's a lot of good athleticism in this year. I think irv smith is a good athlete. I think noah fant is like he might be like. Jk dobbins of tight ends in that. He's he's really athletic but he's in a rough spot where it's hard to see him breaking out and having a huge year because he's got so many other guys to share within that denver passing game jonnu i still think is is a hell of an athlete and i think there's a lot more that he can learn to do. That could put him in the tier higher next year with the patriots and then tongan not quite as athletic kind of had some deceptive speed. Like he got behind the defense a few times last year. And you're like what. How did he do that but he gets a lot of short yardage work in the red zone. And that gives him all kinds of touchdown upside so these are four tight ends that i'm comfortable with saying no problem. Starters worth worth the price.

"I think those can. I don't know that. I necessarily like that much more than dave. I'm i'm pretty happy to get got around seven I just don't like the other titans. That much ahead of him. The only thing i would say Is that yeah. He only had a what was it. What the target share from from hurts David fourteen point one. That's largely because and i'm doing the math in my head right. Not right now. Sixteen percent of his targets went zach. Ertz that that's thirty percent of jalen hurts targets that went to earth's or goddard's we don't currently i. I took her out of my eagles projections. I don't think i don't know where he's gonna play or what's going to happen but it. It seems really unlikely. That hurts is on the eagles. If that's the case. I think there's definitely an opera like you would certainly expect more than fourteen percent of his targets to go to godart if thirty percent of his targets went to tight ends when through last year. I think it could be as high as twenty so. I do think that there is more upside there. Just by removing zach ertz because he threw which we don't know how much of that was the offensive philosophy in philadelphia and the lack of wide receivers but the evidence. We have from hurts. Last year's like a third of his passes went to tight ends in titans were humongous part of that offense last year dan. They're going to be a big part of this offense this year. Don't get me wrong in your points valid. Do you think it gets over. Twenty percent because devante smith had zero percent of the target share last year in philadelphia. And now he's there he's new. I would imagine that they will have other tight ends. Take away a little bit. i'm just i just i'm just. I'm nervous about goddard breaking out into this huge role where he's a candidate for one hundred targets. I've got him at one hundred two over seventeen games. Which isn't spectacular but again. I think that's exactly what i have. Noah fant projected for that would be a sixty five cats all right Sixty five catches up seven hundred and like i have fanton got projected for almost exactly the same stat line. Except for the fact that i think it i'm always a sucker for the coming touchdown regression. And so i think the lot fan will have better touchdown luck this year almost certainly but i think you have to project gutter to score more touchdowns than fan based on what we've seen in their career. So far. Can i ask you when you look at the metrics on dallas qatar. What kind of a player is he. See anything special so far. No better better than zach. Ertz has been the past two years right like in the in the overall tight end spectrum in the national football league..

"You know you might have to commit around five pick and around let you could take around five and six pick on if you really like hopkinson and then dak prescott or something like that you would need one of the two to slide. I think unless got hurt. Your guy hockey needs case fan. Hopkinson is going sixty seconds. So it's the very end of around five and dak. Prescott is gearing. Fiftieth lamar jackson fiftieth. All right if you made that russell wilson he's going back kinston so you could you with the last pick of round five in the first pick around six. Yeah and it's conceivable. If you had the mark andrews going sixty fifth so he's going after harkinson. You could have a middle middle of the round pick and add about fifty seven overall. Take kyla murray or something like that. If he's there. Were one of those quarterbacks and then hope to get mark andrews in the next round maybe hopkinson falls a few spots. You might get a little bit lucky but but that strategy overall. What do you think about two running backs two receivers or some combination of that with your first four picks and then a quarterback in a tight end. You'll get the second tier of quarterback. Dave puts mahomes in that same year. So we the first or the second year but a top six quarterback and top six tight. End in rounds. Five and six can do it. I think it's good. My my preference would be because i think gen like i know what the adp is. No all those guys are late round five early round six. The quarterbacks are experiences generally in round six. You will find one of those quarterbacks. It's usually russell wilson. Sometimes it's dak prescott it. It has been lamar jackson which is astonishing to me but it sometimes he. He falls to the last year that group i. I love getting five running backs wide receivers. And then taking the last of the quarterbacks in round six and then taking god or fanton round seven okay dave do you have a. You have a thought on that. No i think that he's planned is fine. You just have to like got her to do it. And you have to get goddard and seven. You should not reach for dallas. Gutter is the point that i'll make today's. Let's let's have fan debate. Then because he's obviously dave you have him in that third tier but at the bottom of like the tier ranges. i think i've got that ranges routes five through seven. Yes and if i broke out of that tear the range would be round five basically for hopkinson and andrews and pits and then got a ruby in his own tier as around seven pick. I'm not as jazzed about him. As other people are the distribution from hurts last year the addition of devante smith. We'll nervous about him getting a ton of targets. Anything else you wanna say or throw it over to heath five point seven targets per game with hurts. Fourteen percent target share from hurts. No red zone targets from hurts in three and three quarters games. Averaged six point six yards per attempt with was eight point seven and Hertzel run in the red zone. That could take away targets in the red zone which were not existent already last year. He's made the case for got her..

"All right so mark andrews. Last year he was tight end five and he was six and pr. He was four nine. Pbr per game. He was actually fourth and he played only fourteen games. And all right. Let's make your case. He should be in that. To your with with kittle and waller. Well i mean. I think i said at the beginning. He is equally apart basically from the the tier behind. I think the two and a half tier makes sense He has shown us production. Closer to those guys than anybody else. Except for i guess zach ertz and it's not particularly close. I think on a per game basis he was right with darren waller in twenty nineteen I was thirteen point. Nine points behind him and played one fewer game so i he's shown us the ability to produce at that not just eleven twelve and a half points per game or more two years in a row. We have no one else that that has given us that. I love the target share that he's giving you over the past two seasons. He was at twenty three point. Four percent twenty nineteen twenty three point seven percent in the games that he played in two thousand twenty. But i i wish he'd get more yardage. I wish he had more numbers overall any average six point four targets per game. It's a nice target share. It's just not as many targets as you'd like your stud tied into have on a week in week out basis. And they've added. Sammy watkins agra shot bateman. Are those two newcomers going to take targets away from brown from andrews from both the ravens going to try and diversify and spread the ball around a little bit more and keep defenses off kilter that way. So that's why i couldn't put them in in the second tier or even the second and a half tier i he's squarely in the third tier for me. He's at the top of that era a non pr. He's not in that top tier that top of that tier npr. Because i'm worried about the target. The target volume paling in comparison to hopkinson for sure. And maybe pit as well. Does this matter to you. Here's a naser stat. Mark andrews had back to back one hundred yard games to start the two thousand and nineteen season since then in his last twenty seven games. He's averaging forty nine point four yards per game. I mean that's an example of what i stalk you did say give the numbers though but sure but i mean that is i m eliminating two one hundred yard games. But it's been twenty seven games in a row where he's on pace for seven hundred and nine yards. He's only.

"The kindle hit where Kindle hinton started and noah fant got hurt he was at eleven point five yeah and remember we all use different scorings. But it's close but to give you eleven. Pr points per game is what dave is looking for. Not that many did it. Kelsey almost doubled that he was almost twenty one points per game. Darren waller was seventeen point. Five george kittle. Fifteen point six i have mark andrews at twelve point two. I have tony at eleven point. Eight so i guess he didn't quite make that for dave and cj zombie at eleven point four and two games at ten point five games. He played sixteen games and had one hundred and sixty eight total points. Yeah there's two more tight ends at fifty when he played fifteen games according to according to f f. today if he only played fifteen games than he makes it football guys says he played sixteen as well. That's true i'm gonna keep robert. Cbs does say sixty. And that is weird. I think you should start using cbs. That's how do you do you have that wrong. What other lies have you told us over the year what it makes me second guess those stats now all as all tax all of them. You can't do that to me. Lies damn lies and as our stats log. Onto his game log. Maybe there was a game played like only ten percent of the snow. You know what it was say. He had no stats in week one. But he played sixty two percent of the snaps. You can't do that. dot com. You don't mean a podcast host. What an award winning podcast host. You're giving out false numbers. Don't blame the source of where you're getting them from. I think it would have played source. I m sorry. I feel bad. I honestly sucks. I feel bad about that but okay all right. Let's move on. Let's talk about the tears. I think we should do some news in notes. Just real quick here. Jamie sent me a link. Today from from mike florio profootballtalk. He wrote about burger and the dead giveaway. That ben roethlisberger had out of the shotgun which was most of their snaps is it does have to do with his feet. Yeah i've i've seen that for years. Well okay well all right. Well he Put his his foot. Was i on the ground for runways and an elevated for past place. Was it like back a little bit too. Like he's got a foot like step back. Yeah i'll tell you in a second. I'll ask f f today today. All say it was his hand that was up in the air. That means it's a pass. Yeah well it doesn't matter exactly the placement but it was. It was big tell They ran the shotgun. Eighty three percent of the time. And when it's iran rothlisberger stands flat-footed before the snap when it's a pass. He lifts his left heel off the ground before the snap. He does that even when he fakes. The hand off before throwing the ball. If you can fix that it might make them a little bit. More efficient offensively. It's nice for the defense to know what type of play is coming. I really couldn't believe that that that was i. Don't know if teams caught onto that though. 'cause rothlisberger still had.

"He battled some injuries off and on. But i i like tim i really did. Only twelve percent of the whole thing. He's going to be the guy next season but The they've got a stacked looking wide receiver core. Which again does that put more pressure on. A guy like drew lock. Hey you have the weapons now. And i wrote a blog about this last year before the season i feel like the broncos gave drew lock the keys to a jet when he should be driving in eighty nine. Old four pickup. Just get used to it. That was last. Year was essentially your rookie year. They talked about dumbing down the offense throughout the season okay. They've tried to make those adjustments halfway through. But i tried to tell you. I tried to tell you you're over overcomplicating all this by adding all these weapons and when you add a lot of weapons you have to make the offense complex so that you can get those weapons involved. Do the broncos go back and send try to simplify. Well that's tough because now you're not getting sutton patra judy. Hamler noah fant melvin gordon. You're not getting these guys involved as much if it's a simple offense so i'm i'm intrigued by that but drew locks the guy. Don't be shocked. Tim patrick suddenly emerges as the top wide receiver. And then i tell you what denver whatever decision to make next season because they put the tender on. Tim patrick do you. Keep a guy like patrick. Give them more money knowing that. Okay courtland sutton is on there and Eventually your your hope. Is that jerry jeudy and keiji handler become become guys that are going to warrant big numbers. Big contract just weird. It's a tough problem to have you. You don't wanna pay a lot of money but you want all your players to get to that point where they're worth that kind of dollar so yeah it's trust me. It's going gonna be interesting when you look at these contracts. I mean sutton's than his rookie deal still he'll be off at the end of Twenty twenty wanna thank right so there will be some decisions. But i wouldn't be shocked if drew lock the guy. He relied on tim patrick. He looked his way. Didn't seem like he clicked with jerry jeudy first year okay. We'll see if that i it. Sounds like judy's kind of wanting teddy bridgewater. He's talked about his his spin of the ball. The way he places the ball. So i mean. Judy doesn't seem to fit necessarily with so i. I wouldn't be shocked if tim. Patrick comes out of this as the top dog next year. We'll see go. Vote at the whole show dot com. That's our power to play. Sports poll question of the day.

"D'Andre Swift. So second-year tight end, TJ Hawkinson out of Iowa, had a good year. He made his first Pro Bowl. He's a former number. Eight overall pick in 2019 to see a make a pro bowl, very encouraging. I he will forever be compared to his former Iowa teammate. Noah Fant, Noah Fant first, DJ Hawkinson. No offense went to Denver TJ Hawkinson, home, Detroit, but man it'll be really interesting to see him continue to grow and seeing him make a Pro Bowl. That's encouraging in a second-year. Now, D'Andre Swift the Lions. Rookie running back last year. I had a really, really rough start to his NFL career. He dropped the game-winning pass with five seconds left SAR. Six seconds left in the game. Week 1 against Chicago, your first ever NFL game play starts with, eleven seconds left, you dropped the ball at 6 that comes up and you, you drop the game-winning touchdown and your first ever NFL game is a brutal way to start off your NFL career. But after that, D'Andre Swift bounced back. He was trading time at Adrian, Peterson a running back and Jack Swift ended up having a pretty decent year. As far as rookie years ago, he had he ran for 521 yards eight touchdowns. He also had 46 catches for 357 yards and two touchdowns. I would imagine that as Detroit kicks off their rebuild. They're very excited. Have a Galaxy Andre Swift as part of their football team. And I, I just two people that there's not a lot to cheer about last year in Detroit were really everyone. I'm sure is looking forward to next year. But, looking back at last year, hey, D'Andre Swift a young runningback. A guy can put in your rotation with Jamaal Williams and be really excited about. And then, hey, TJ! Hi. Is it made a Pro Bowl? That's awesome. And those are my key takeaways. From the Detroit Lions season last year in 2020. Now Minnesota I predicted the Minnesota Vikings would go 10:00 and 6 last year and the reality is they went seven and nine, they finished third month in the NFC North and the two main reasons for this are really our kind of three but the new main reasons are number one. Their defense had a ton of injuries last year in 2020. They had struggles the Vikings head coach. Mike Zimmer was not happy, he's a defensive guy and they did not play up to his standard. Now, reason number two is, the Vikings quarterback, the unfortunate reality is that Kirk Cousins is not living up to the massive contract, the Vikings gave him. The expectation was he will be the final piece of the puzzle to put them over the top. Chef Kirk was supposed to help them win big.

"Of questions about who's going to get the targets with their loaded receiving corps and noah fant at tight end. There's plenty of questions about the quality of the quarterback play. And there's some question about courtland sutton coming off of an injury himself. So i do think that there's there's some risk that needs to be baked in and that's what that wide receiver thirty four. Adp tells you but there's still top fifteen upside sutton wouldn't be one of my favorite break bounce back candidates but he's a good one dave i've draft thing to mock drafts of maybe two or three mock draft so we done I i tend to gravitate towards sutton in this range this roster for denver could be also. I mean the defense. They've rebuilt it. You know the secondary looks fantastic offensive. Line looks really good. I didn't think gordon is fine at the running back spot. You know mike. Boone could be just as good as phillip lindsay. We don't know. I'm going to say no but there's still a chance for him to be in that type of role as the second running back there. We know. The receiving corps would just listed. The names looks pretty special. If those guys live up to those expectations but the quarterback play is something. I think that a lot of people are concerned about even if it is a rookie and i think a lot of people are mocking. Trae lance to the broncos depending on how things go so does the quarterback change things for portland side nor is it just more of injury situation. Let me let me remind everybody in twenty nineteen when sutton was getting past us from ju- lock. He had a fifty four percent catch rate. That's ugly here's the good news. He averaged targets per game with drew. Lock nah i was in two thousand. Nineteen there was no jerry. Jeudy noah fant was rookie. Then and i don't know how much lock is really progressed. Since then but i think that sutton could still be that number one target. At least to begin the air. At least until jerry jeudy gets his act together in denver and that if he can connect with lock really comes down to the quarterback like you said jim. I think if locked doesn't prove and maybe tries to tame himself a little bit doesn't take as many chances with the football. Yeah maybe he could end up being pretty good for courtland sutton but this is one of i. Guess it's fair to say four spots. Were a rookie. Quarterback could come in and start right away and when i did the profile for trae lattes iced trae lances. Nfl ready. i think he's a really intriguing talent. He's very athletic but he's a little raw certainly experienced but if he goes into training camp endeavor say he goes to denver with the number nine pick and he plays well and adapts. Well man it's not going to be very long. Drew lock will be three interceptions away before trae lance goes in there and i would love to see this offense with somebody like trae lance under center because we've seen it with drew lock under center. It makes me a little bit nervous to count highly on any broncos pass catcher so i like sutton really love getting them as a number three receiver really hope that he comes back from the acl. That's the way it should be..

NBA Draft 2019: Latest 1st-Round Order, Predictions
"And ladies and gentlemen, we have a new mock draft out Mel kiper Jr's three point. Oh is here with us. And we are looking forward to the draft. Mel will join us in just about an hour to talk about the new mock draft. But there have been some changes in the draft specifically one less quarterback. Now going in the first round then in mel's two point oh mock draft. So we have four in the two point oh mock draft with Daniel Jones from Duke rounding out of the last pick of the draft to the patriots in the first round of thirty two. There are only three quarterbacks now in the first round, according to mel's latest mock. And obviously a retirement might be a big reason why and the quarterbacks have changed as well. Right. As far as where they're they're going. Well, Cuyler he still has Tyler going number one derozan. Well in his last draft Cuyler going number thirteen to the dolphins. So now and this draft he hasn't going number one. He had. Dwayne Haskins going number six at a giant Kyle Murray. Going number thirteen to the to the dolphins. Drew lock going fifteen to the Redskins and Daniel Jones going thirty two to the patriots. So as you mentioned Daniel Jones now out of the first round, according to the latest mock draft by Mel kiper, just three quarterbacks Murray number one. The main says Dwayne Haskins at number six, and you start to hear reports that the giants may go defense was six and then was seventeen go quarterback. But right now twain Haskins at six and then drew lock sitting there at number thirteen for the dolphins. Does the only three quarterbacks in this latest first round. Yeah. Going to be very interesting because we know what the giants listen one thing. Dave Gettleman has made very clear he does not feel beholden to tell us his plan. And so I don't feel overly beholden to believe. A lot of what we're hearing coming out of the giants can't because if you've got a guy who's basic messages trust me, I got this. Well, then we understand he doesn't feel like he has to tell us the truth. So as we hear these things. Coming out. We also understand this time of year is about deception to an extent it's trying to manipulate the draft order trying to manipulate the opinions of certain players. So that you can try and put yourself in the best position to get the guys you ultimately want. So it makes it difficult to try and read the tea leaves it is although I have to say on cattlemans behalf. He said all of last spring saquon Barkley is a generational talent with the second overall pick. And that's where he went. Look, I think we all agreed. There has to be a quarterback in the giants future. Whether it's at six or seventeen trade now Cleveland, but it would not surprise me in the least if Dave Gettleman waited until the second or third round to take a quarterback this Dave Gettleman, he created that created, but he he made the term a more of a vernacular in the NFL draft hog molly's when he was the GM of the Carolina Panthers. He loves the big guys to hog mollies. And let's be honest. This draft is going to be decided outside of Kyla Murray. More than anything else about the big defensive lineman in this draft. The hog Molly is on the defensive side of the ball. So depending on your draft grades for your quarterbacks you could take one of those at six and then a quarterback at seventeen it all depends again on your on your draft great. If twain Haskins is highest on the board and draft grades. You don't pass that up. If you have a Dwayne Haskins drew lock. And whatever other quarterback equal in grades. You know, maybe use that seventeen pick baby can trade it up somehow to get one of those guys as I said, this always comes down to grades. Do. You have a choice amongst grades. Are you close enough in quarterbacks where if you don't get one you try and get the other? But we'll see we'll see, you know, one of the biggest changes in from the last two this for Mel was they had the patriots taken Daniel Jones a quarterback, and this one I serve Smith junior the tight end from Alabama going, and that would not be shocking at all you have really three out of the top tight end Hopkinson the kid from Iowa teammate, Noah Fant, and then Smith junior all three likely to go in the first round a three first round tight end to on the same team come on. And what would that tell you as we saw? The patriots jump into the first round and take a running back and Sony Michelle at the end of that. And now to see in the next year three tight ends going. We've talked about this. However, you want to split it. Last year were Quinton Nelson. Went in the top ten in the draft as an offensive guard. We saw roquan Smith going the top ten as a middle linebacker. The middle of the field is worthy. NFL is being built right now. And other teams are starting to catch up to what the patriots have done for years. The way that we've seen teams export that specific area and three tight ends in the first round would hammer that home not denying that. They are guys that are certainly probably more talented than usual tight end groups. We're used to seeing but it's also about value. It's why you see running back taking it to overall by the giants last year. I mean, the other thing is I think they're more interior linemen in this first round then quarterbacks right? Like, a not tackles guards and centers. There are more of those according to males latest mock than there are actual quarterbacks being taken which would be very unusual. So the top five in this new draft that Mel kiper put out is Kylie Murray. Number one of the cardinals Nick both the D N number two to the forty Niners. Number three. Josh Allen the outside backing backer pass rusher going to the jet number four Cornyn Williams. To the raiders and number five guy making a pretty big jump. Devon white going to Tampa Bay at five in the last mock draft he was number eleven to the Bengals now in mel's draft. He is sitting at number five number six twain Haskins seven Joon Taylor. The offense attack from Florida going to Jacksonville sweat, the D N going to the lions at eight Sean, Gary the D N going into the bills from Michigan and TJ Hopkinson. The tight end going to the Broncos at number ten. Here's here's what I wanted to talk to Mel about and one of the issues that I have laid on me big fella with with this draft comes, you know, some some point and one of them is there are few prospects in new first round projection who are making their debuts because of their combine performances. There are four guys who have jumped into mel's first round who weren't out there before again based on the combine combine performances. I don't understand that. I don't I don't understand that. If you wanna say. You looked at the combine to go back and look at tape of them. But to say, they're combine performance jumped them up that doesn't compute to me. Well, I think that's I think that's the assumption though, is because of their performance you went back and look and that. That's fair. That's why I want to ask them. How did this? Make you go back and study them more. Because if you're just basing things off the combine I got a real issue with that. Yeah. I I don't think you would do that or teams. But at the same time, you look at the positions of the majority of the players that would be involved in that. And I think this could be true for teams as well. It's interior offense. It is right. Three interior offensive linemen Terry McLaren the wide receiver, but when it comes to interior offensive lineman. You wanna talk about an area where the scouting grossly lags behind to actually great and overall draft. It's a difficult area for a lot of people to see and understand because you don't have the benefit of a lot of stats. You don't have the benefit of even the combine members necessarily always translating to production. So when those guys go and they paying and they flag in the model somewhere for what they do at the combine. And then you go back and spend some more time looking at a guy like Lindstrom who wasn't going to be a big name. He wasn't like, you know, Gary bradberry from North Carolina State won the Remington award this year. Like that guy was a stud Boston College was a middling. Okay. ACC team this year. So Lindstrom wasn't getting the credit. He deserved even being as good as he is. So you go back now, and even these NFL teams, maybe we're late to the party on some of these guys all of a sudden start giving them an extra. That's why I want to ask I just wanna make sure with Mel that because I'm just reading from the combine performance, and again, let's put a name. To those you mentioned McLaren the wide receiver who is one of the others. Chris Lynch reminder, you just mentioned from Boston College now. Number twenty one to Seattle Eric McCoy interior linemen going number twenty two to Baltimore. Right and the Garrett bradberry. The Senator from North Carolina State who is you mentioned one the Remington award is the best center in the country number thirty one to the LA Rams where they have an aging center, and John John Sullivan. And that was that was one of the things have been saying for the Rams the last couple of years that dynasties been built on the interior. If you land a guy like that good, Lord or you winning out it is. So we'll see how that plays out. Now, the one thing that I find interesting he he has drew lock the third quarterback Mel dozen his latest mock going thirteen in Miami. I'm telling you don't take out Denver at ten in Cincinnati of eleven in play for quarterbacks. I mean. Yeah. Denver made the play for Joe flacco. But John Elway has messed this up a couple of times with all due respect. I mean, that's just outside of getting Peyton Manning. He has not figured out the quarterback spot there at ten they might be in play for quarterback. And you have Andy Dalton with his situation with the Bengals and his contract situation. I, you know, I think that there's a really good chance that they could be in play with a quarterback there, by the way, by the way, Mel kiper Jr's mock draft not the biggest item related to the draft this week. That will have news for you guys. What more on that coming up later? This week
