  Speaker 2: What's up, everybody?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Welcome to move the sticks, DJ, Bucky, Rhett back with
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you and Buck.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you've.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Heard this or not, but there's a game. There's a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: game taking place Thursday evening. It is between the Detroit
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Lions the Kansas City Chiefs, and we're going to get
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a chance to preview that as well as have a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: little rookie draft, which I'll explain it a little bit.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: But first of all, dude, how fired up are you
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: right now?
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: So fired up? So fired up for the regular season
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: to kick off. We talked about it for a long time.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: We've seen everything went through the process. When it came
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: to the draft, we saw all the free agency being
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: added to the team, We got a chance to do
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: INSTID training camp live and all that. So we got
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: a beek'sweat a little bit when it came to what
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: the team's going to look like.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: But now it's for real, and so I'm super excited.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 0:49
  Speaker 6: I feel like as we look at this matchup and
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: we start to get kicked off and get excited about it,
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: excitement has kind of quickly turned to a certain level
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: of concern, right if you're a Kansas City Chiefs fan
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: with Chris Jones not in the building and as it stands,
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: not likely to play in this game until they get
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: that contract thing worked out.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: So I think there's definitely.
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: Some uneasiness at minimum, which of course is buoyed by
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: the fact that you've got the best player in the
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: world a quarterback. On the other side, You're probably going
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: to score thirty points in this game, So kind of.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Make of that what you will, I guess stej Yeah,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: they're not losing. You know, Look, Chris Jones a great player.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: He's one of the elite defensive players in the league.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Buck did his top five d tackles put him at
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: number one on the list. But I think one of
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the things you talk about the offense, which the offense
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: last year was the floor for this Chiefs offense, like
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that last year was the rebuild, it was the teardown,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and that was the floor. They won the whole dang thing.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: So they're going to be better offensively than they were
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: last year.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: And then you look on.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: The defensive side of the ball, Buck, I feel like
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you got to give your buddy.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Some credit here.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Man, you talk about what's not there up front, but
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: look what your dude's doing in the back end with
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: all those young dbs, who again, that was the floor
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: for that group. They're all just getting comfortable under the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: NFL and they won the whole thing.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: That group in the secondary is going to be much
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: better this year.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the group who will be much better.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: David Married, my high school teammate's done a really good
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: job working with facts to get this team up and going.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: They take Brian Cook and Sherman Duffy and all these
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: young guys, threw them on the fielding It worked.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: They played well.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: They didn't have these major busting coverage and they were
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: able to lock up and play man and man and
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: do the things that Steve Spagnulo likes to do. And
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: so another year in the system, the other full of
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: off season to work out some of the kings to
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: develop their games. They should be good, but without Chris Jones,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: it still could be like a house of cards. Because
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Chris Jones being there, you look at the numbers, pressure
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: rate up, sacks up all the production, the disrupt the
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: plays are. They're tied to number ninety five, and so
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: he needs to be in the building. He has to
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: be on the field for this defense to play well.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: As much as I love the way that they perform,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I recognized the big guy up front sets the table
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: for everybody to eat.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like the game within the here and
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: it's certainly a benefit to Ben Johnson and the Lions
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: with Chris Jones' absence is how they can maximize Jamiir Gibbs.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: I mean, we've heard the enthusiasm and the excitement about
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: all that he can bring to this offense in terms
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: of his skills. We know we saw it in the
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: past game at Alabama. It certainly sounds like they're going
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: to use him just about every way possible except for
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: the punting, which is what Dan Campbell said this week.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: But I think that's really.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: Exciting to go along with a Monroe Saint Brown, another
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: guy who's got great skills at.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: The wide receiver position.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: And I'm really excited to see what Samuel Porter brings
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: as a tight end. I know they're really excited about
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: that too. So offensively, I think this this Detroit Lions
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: team has the ability to be as explosive as any
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: offense at least in the NFC. And you know, I
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: don't know if they're up there with some of the
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: very best in the AFC yet, but I think this
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: is a really nice proving ground for this Detroit Lions
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: offense to see see them take the next step after
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: they absolutely lit it up in the second half of
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: the season last year.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: DJ.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean to me, if they're going to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: have a chance in this game, they got to finish drives.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're going to move the ball
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: with all the weapons they have, and I am excited
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to see the two rookies when you think about Gibbs
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and Laporta and how they utilize them and what they
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: do with a very creative offensive play color. But moving
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the ball between the twenties ain't going to get it
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. You better have a red zone plan
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to finish drives. And then on the other side of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the ball, buck we talk about the ball not sailing
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: over your head. Anytime you play against Mahomes, you got
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to stay plastered. You're going to have no shot clock
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: in your head down the field. And then offensively, don't
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: get or sorry when the defensive line wise, don't get
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: caught past the quarterback. So whatever you're doing rush wise,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you got to be disciplined with that if you get
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: too far up the field. If Mahomes climbs the pocket.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: We say this every year and say it till he's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: done playing. If he climbs the pocket and his shoulders
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: are square to the line of scrimmage, you're done because
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: he can access any area of the field if you
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: flush it. Even as crazy as his arm is, he's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: still only going to be able to get the ball
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to the middle of the field from the right sideline,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: which is.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Incredible, but at least you've cut off some of the field.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: If you let him climb up in and shoulders face
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage from sideline to sideline, the depth
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of the field, you got no shot.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: You had no shot, You got no chance. The guys remarkable.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: He's a magician. He does it over and over and
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: over again. And so this is a test for everybody.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: It's a test for the Lion's defense just see if
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: they can kind of keep him and check. But to me,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: it's a test for the Kansas City Chiefs. Can they
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: continue to put more on Pat Mahomes with or without
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: whatever stars that may be playing without on defense? He's
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: proven that he can do it time and time again,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: but at some point you do wonder the weight of
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: the world on his shoulders.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Can he keep delivering? If he can?
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Is one of the differences between the great and the
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: really really elite gold jacket types, which is Patma's home
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: is already in that category right now.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: And guys, I think two positives for the Chiefs here
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: on BO one, one on each side of the ball
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: in terms of health, Cadarius Tony being able to come
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: back and start practicing this week, and then Lugarius sneed
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: on the defensive side of the ball. Steed has kind
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: of quickly become one of their very best on the
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: defensive side and certainly in the secondary and so having
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: him available to deal with you know, all that the
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: Lions offense can present. And then on the other side,
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: I think Kadarius Tony, you know, after watching him kind
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: of get into some semblance of a rhythm end of season,
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: end of the postseason last year, I'm really curious to
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: see how, you know, Matt Naggy and Andy Reid kind
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: of game plan for this guy. And as long as
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: he is healthy enough to make an impact and have
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: some actual, you know, actual snaps and see what that
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: looks like. But man, I think that's going to be
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: really fun to watch in year two for Tony with
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I also think from the Lions standpoint, Jared Goff having
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: gone toe to toe know early in Patrick Mahomes' career
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: in that epic shootout between Shootouts and the Chiefs in
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: LA that was an all time great game. So I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: think some of that off factor playing the Chiefs arrowhead
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. I don't think that's going to be too
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: big for Jared Goff, a guy who's played in Super
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Bowls and been in a big time shootout and come
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: out on the right end of it against Patrick Mahomes.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: So that's going to be a a fun game to watch.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Cannot wait. So pumped that the NFL season is kicking
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: this thing off. Speaking of the NFL season, we're going
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to take a quick break, guys when we come back.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: We're doing something new this year. We're gonna do this
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: each and every week. We're gonna have a rookie draft.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Say what, I'll explain it. I'll explain the rules right
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: after this. All right, guys, I teased it. Let's get
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: into this thing. Because we've got a new idea. We've
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: always trying to track the rookies because we always felt
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: like we would talk about these guys in the run
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: up to the draft for months and months and months
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: path to the draft, you know, everything leading up to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the draft, the combine, the All Star Games, talking about
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: these guys, talking about these guys, they get drafted, and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: then we wash our hands and we're done. I think
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: this is going to be fun to keep an eye
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: on these guys, but do it in a different way.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So this is how we're doing it. You guys ready,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: we are going to do a We're going to do
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a draft. Okay, So this is how this shakes out.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: You've got to start three guys every week. So think
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of a fantasy football league, which Rhett you know, loves
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to talk about a lot. So you have to have
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a quarterback, a running back, and a wide receiver slash
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: tight end.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: So you got to start three of those guys.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: And the way we're going to keep score here is
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: we're going to use like typical NFL dot Com standard
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: NFL dot Com fantasy scoring system. But the way it's
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: going to calculate whoever has the most So if we
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: each have a quarterback and say, you know, Bucky's guy
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: scores more points rets second, I'm third. Bucky's gonna get
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: three points for the quarterback that week. Rhett will get
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: one point for being in second place. The third place
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I get zero points. And we'll do that for each
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: of these three positions. We'll keep track of the score
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and we'll do that throughout the year and we'll see,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you know, how we get through it. But it's a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: good way to keep track of these rookies and kind
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: of have some fun along the way. So we're gonna
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: do a We'll do a snake draft. You can take
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: them in any order you want, whatever position you want,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: but you can only you know, you have to have
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: one of those three positions. So we'll go Bucky rehtt myself,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and then we'll snake it back the other way and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: uh and Buck, you get the first pick in the inaugural.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Oh there we go move the sixth draft.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Sure, Oh, there's no pressure, this this is easy. I'm
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: gonna take be John Robinson with the number one overall pick.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna take a quarterback. I'm gonna go since
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: we're going fantasy style, I'm going b Jon Robinson to
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: beat everything for the Atlanta Falcons offense. They'll talk about
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: addressing though, like oh we got Kal Piss and we
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: have this big lonon and we can give it all
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: these people. But at the end of the day, it
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: starts and ends with B. John Robinson playing a big role.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: That's why he's worthy of being the number one overall pick.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: That's why he's my guy. That's your guys.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Absolutely happy to sit here in the two hole and
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: take Jamir Gibbs of the Detroit Lions because we know
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: he was the first round pick a couple of spots behind me.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: John Robinson absolutely has seen the most hype and excitement
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: emanating from within that Detroit Lions building about this player
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: who they took with their first pick in the draft.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: So run as a runner, as a receiver, as you know,
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: I don't know wherever else they can use him. Jamir
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: Gibbs is going to be a stud. So I got
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: him going this week, especially in the appsence. So Chris
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Jones there for the Chiefs, all right, all right, I
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: see you.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Guys are doing here. Rhett's thinking there's a huge drop
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: off between the second and third running backs.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Because he had his choice.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: You could have taken the you could have taken the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: first quarterback, wide out slash tight end. But you're you're
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: playing strategy here and I can dig that. And I'm
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: going to tell you right now, I'm very confident in
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the running back that I'm gonna get with the last
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: pick in this draft. Obviously, don't take one now because
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you guys have taken the other two. And it's going
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to be sweet, sweet music when but.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Watch the running back.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: When he watches the running back that I take, and
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: watches him, and he's gonna be He's gonna be on
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: his team and I'm still gonna end up winning over
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: you guys with that running back. All right, I'm gonna
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: start off here with my first pick. I'm going to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: go with the quarterback. And I think Bryce was the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: top guy coming to the draft. I love Bryce Young.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to emerge as the best quarterback.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: But the rules are the rules. If we're playing standard
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: fantasy football rules, I'll take the guy who's going to
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: run the rock a.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Little bit here.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Give me Anthony and Richardson finding his way into the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: end zone, maybe with his legs once or twice in
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: this ball game. So I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Anthony and Richardson with my first pick, and I get
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to I get to come back with my second pick,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: which means I get my first choice at quarterback. And
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: now I have an opportunity to take my first choice
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of wide receiver or tight end. And this is this
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: is where it gets tricking.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: M Because.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I love dalonk kay. I love Dalon k and Cave
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: love him.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I love him.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Bucky said it's gonna be easy for him. I just
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: can't do it with the tight end. Oh all right,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I'm down to two players. I'm down to two players.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I'm down to two guys, and it's between Zay Flowers
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and Jordan Addison. For me, I think Jordan Addison is
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: gonna be really good number two. It's gonna be a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: really good number two. I think Jay Flowers is gonna
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: be end up being the number one on the Baltimore Ravens.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go say Flowers with my next pick.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: Smart man.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: I mean this just just there we go.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Okay, So I'm back up then, right, I'm back up that.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: So the question that I'm going to have here is
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: is do I think there's enough of a difference between
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: Bryce Young and c J. Stroud to feel like I
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: have to make a quarterback choice here. I guess we
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: could possibly include Clayton Tune, although I'm not ready to
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: make that pick may the Cardinals just yet. I don't
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: think there's enough difference between Bryce Young and c J.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Stroud.
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: So I'm going to be happy to wait on that
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: selection here. And I feel like I'm going to go
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: and I've already got my running back.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: I need to get a receiver.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: And I think this one I might go off the
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: I might go off the grid here a little bit with.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: My uh, with my you know what? You know what? No, actually,
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: actually I can see it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: You want to go take down there?
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: He wants to go. He wants to go.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: I do you want to do it?
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: But but I I just I feel like the Ravens
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: really good defense.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: I'm not ready there for that. All Right, I'm gonna pull.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna pull a little bit of a I'm gonna
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: pull a little bit of a reversal here. I am
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: gonna take Bryce Young. I'm gonna take Bryce Young, the
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: quarterback of the Panthers here. I think, yeah, I do
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: I think I because I feel confident in what I
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: got left for me with my last pick. So I'm
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: gonna go Bryce Young here. I feel confident in the
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: way that he can attack the Falcons defense more so
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: than I feel confident in the Texans ability to deal
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: with the Ravens defense right now with the young quarterback.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: So give me Bryce Young with my second pick.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Bryce Young.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: That's interesting. So now there was a lot of debates.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: It was literally, it was literally there's a lot of
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: man war room and had a really big debate.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: The one thing I certainly hope in your real fantasy draft,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I hope there's a there's a timer in a buzzer
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: to ding you so you don't have to go through
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: all these conversations on the clock, and the fantasy draft
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: becomes an eight hour fantasy draft. So here here's the thing,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Jay Flowers being off the board, so it leaves me
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: with two guys. I have Jordan Addison, who will be
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: the number two in Minnesota, and Quinn Johnson from h
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: our La. Charges I'm gonna go with Addison from Minnesota
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: because all of that attention that goes to Justin Jefferson
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: just is going to leave Addison wide open. And I
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: know they have kJ Osbourne and they're trying to throw
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: it to some other guys, but Addison is going to
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: be there. He's going to be the beneficiary of all
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: the attention that goes to Justin Jefferson, and I think
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: they're dropping their debuting a new gritty. He certainly would
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: have an opportunity to be right there in the shadows
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: of the I'm doing a cool little touchdown dance once
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson doesn't, So that's my guy. So I have him,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: and then what I go back again to pick up
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: a quarterback? Yeah, so the quarterback election is mine. Yeah,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: because you guys are they've already got So I got
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson off the board that you took your quarterback?
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: Right, I took Bryce?
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Did you take Bryce?
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: So look, I guess I'm I guess I'm left with
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: with c J. Stroud. I would go off the grid
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: and say I'm gonna go for a brock Purty type,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: but I'm gonna go with CJ. Stroud.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna play very conservative. I'm just gonna take the five.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Who would I'm just hit it right down the fairway.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: So let's go with C. J. Stroud.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: We may be behind on a handful of games, and
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping because we're behind, we want all the points
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: and all the garbage, George, because it all counts in
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: the fantasy world.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and look, I think as it comes back to
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: me for the final pick here, DJ, you have one
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: left you you need one spot right right? Yeah? Okay,
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: So I need a receiver or a tight end. And
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: while I agree with you, I think Sam Laporter don't
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: be a nice choice here. I'm going to go off
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: the grid because I want to talk about targets. The
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: Los Angeles Rams are likely going to be without Cooper
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: Cup here. And if you've been following with the Rams,
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: have been putting.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Down I know what you're doing here.
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: I am going Pooka Nakua, the wide receiver from BYU,
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: as my rook here. I think he has impressed there.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: And if you follow and you look at what what
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: Sean McVay did, the amount of targets he committed to
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: Cooper Cup as a rookie, even to Ben Scronic early
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: in his career, finding different ways to get those guys,
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: the football guys that could do a lot of different things.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: I think that in the absence of high level targets
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: outside of Cooper Cup, Pooka.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: Is going to get a ton of them, and I
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: think he's going to come up with a big day.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Yep, that's this was what this draft is all about. See,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: we're not just going to see the same names. By
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the way, right, he was going to take he was
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: going to take Clayton Tuone. He literally talked himself out
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of it at the last he did.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: Personnel director was in his ear.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: The guy that was in my ear was dtr Like
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: they like, he's not gonna maybe is like a Piko,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: But I didn't take him.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I took c J. Stroud.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: We comfortable, We loved our Picky's I got all.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Along, all right, all right, that's what you're saying in
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the press conference there. So this is what we've got, Buck,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: He's got Jon Robinson. Uh, You've got Jordan Addison and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: c J.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Stroud. Rhett has Gifts, Bryce young.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: And and the boldest pick pookin Nakula, which I like
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: a little off the grid. As you mentioned, that's your squad.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I've got Anthony Richardson. I've got Zay Flowers, which I
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: feel great about those two. This is the one that's
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: taking it home and I I talked about it a
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: little bit earlier. I teased that Buck's going to be
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: sitting there in the stadium. He's gonna be watching Tank.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be watching the human big get across the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: goal line, and he's gonna have to feign interest and
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: excitement like he's so pumped up.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: But in the back of his.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Mind, he's going to go DJ just beat me in
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: this rookie Fantasy league because I didn't take my own guy. Uh,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be sweet. I'm gonna be I'm gonna be
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: at the Chargers game, following along on my my laptop
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: seeing what's happening. Uh. And then when when Tank gets
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: in the end zone, I'm gonna send both you guys
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: a text and I'm gonna I thought for sure you
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: were to go because you're going to see him in person. Yeah,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: But now to me a Chane home run hitter. Yeah,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: But I think, to me, if we're talking about standard
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: fantasy rules, you got to get the in zone, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I think I think Tank's gonna be able to get
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: that accomplished.
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: Maybe by the way, just so you know NFL dot
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Com Standard Fantasy rules are PPR leagues. Now it's all
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: it's all PPR. It's points per reception. Okay, just so
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: we know.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how many balls tanks going to catch,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: but I just needed to get an.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: That's that's our squad.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Every week, we'll keep track, we'll be able to next week,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: we'll be able to recap what happened the week before,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and then we'll have the draft for the next week
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and it will be a way to kind of keep
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: track of these rookies.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: But rtt bold call there with pookin the coupa, I
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: dig that.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Anything else you guys want to jump into before we
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: get out of.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: Here, Let's fire this thing up, man, let's break the
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: season up. Let's get all I.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Believe again, I believe that went off to grid. I
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: can't believe it. I don't regret that. I think he's
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: regret I think he's no regret it. By the end
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: of the day, were looking like I'm stuck with this
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: team that I have. He's gonna want to redo a draft,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: He's wanting to pick up some trust, and then you
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: and I gonna.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Have to talk about that. I worry about that. For
