Got a good show for you today. We're doing an ADP price check. Brooks has got it all set up for us. We're going to walk through a number of players take our shot at where we think they're going in the draft and see if they're going too high, too low. I did want to take a brief moment, an important moment as we come into another week of talking about sweet, sweet fantasy football, which we love. And I would...

Love nothing more than to come in here and sell some sweet UDKs. And I know on this show, and we've heard from many of you, like we pride ourselves on being that distraction and that lighter touch, that respite from what is going on in this world. But, you know, we were here talking with one another and we feel like...

not acknowledging what is taking place in this world is in and of itself a bit of a statement on what's happening in this world. And so I wanted to say, just share how incredibly burdened our team is with what is transpiring in this country right now. My daughter is five years old. She is black. This is not the world that I want for my daughter.

It's not the world that any of us want our children growing up in. It breaks our heart. And so what I can say is that to the thousands of black listeners and supporters of this show that are tuning into the podcast, I simply want to say this. I want you to know that we know that this is not okay.

That what happened to George Floyd is not okay and what has been happening for years is not okay. And, you know, it's important to me and to us that you hear that from us and that you know that. Our hearts have truly been broken this last week and they really do go out to everyone listening. Everyone going through this, you know, the three of us will never truly fully understand, but it doesn't.

It doesn't excuse ignoring problems. And it's like we we have a voice. I have an online voice and I wrote and I deleted 20 plus messages this weekend because every time I thought I knew what I needed to say I would read back. I'd say this is this is garbage. Like this is not.

This doesn't work. This isn't expressing what I need to express right now that we need to do better. I need to do better. And I can do better and we can't do better. So I'm trying to educate myself. I want my family educated. I want my friends educated. So I mean, we, my wife and I spent the whole weekend crying, trying to learn. So that's, I.

The thing that I guess I just, I want to say is I can do better. I'm going to do better. All right. You better check yourself before you wreck yourself. Seamless transition. Seamless transition. Yeah, I posted a meme yesterday. It's not refreshing your news feed is in 2020. You just don't know what's going to be there next time. Now, you know, we did send some people to space. That old, which was awesome. Yeah. The luckiest two people.

On the face of the earth. No longer. No longer. Yeah. That's pretty cool, though. That's pretty special. That was. That was another, I mean, I'm sure it was compounded. The emotion of that. More tears were coming. Oh, yeah, definitely. And I knew, like, watching it, I was getting emotional welling up. I know I was also heavily impacted by. Feeling everything. Yes. We're all feeling everything right now. Yeah. But it was, it was a very special moment as.

Someone who has been a space enthusiast my entire life. It was very cool. It was cool as well for family. All these families who were actually together and able to see it together. I saw them saying it was like the most viewed NASA event in history, which is crazy. That's amazing. And now they have technology to actually like great cameras and great ability to cover what's going on. It's pretty neat. All right. We're going to take a look at some.

Best ball ADP, some players. We're going to start with Michael Gallup. Too low. I don't even know what it is. Yeah. Right now we have him at the consensus number 32 overall wide receiver. Where do you think he is going in drafts compared to where we have him? And Michael Gallup is kind of, it's a great discussion because of what they did with C.D. Lamb.

knowing Amari Cooper's paid. Michael Gallup sits here as this second option, but it's complicated in Dallas. It is definitely complicated, but when things are complicated, I choose. I'm going to look at the facts that I know. Amari Cooper is a good wide receiver. He comes and goes sometimes. CD Lamb was drafted to be a great wide receiver. I'm projecting he's going to be a great wide receiver when in the first round.

High draft capital. He's a rookie. Those are projections. Yeah. But you know what I know? Michael Gallup is freaking good at football. That is what I know. So that's what I'm saying. 66 for 11006 last year and 14 games on 1113 targets. Basically paste production with Amari Cooper, who Amari Cooper is what, a second round pick? Yeah, we've been saying for quite some time, at least I have.

that the drafting of C.D. Lamb is good for Michael Gallup's value. And this is the show where we put that to the test. Sure. Because he should be... And to be clear, you said value, not necessarily production, but value. Exactly. You have 80 plus targets that Jason Witten and Randall Cobb both vacated. That's plenty for C.D. Lamb to come in, be on the field a lot, be heavily targeted, and not even matter towards Michael Gallup's...

You know, target count that he had from last year. So yes, I think Michael Gallup is a good option this year should be drafted as, you know, a high end three. That's fair. Or a low end two. You know, I've got him at 28 right now. So I think he's going well behind that. I'm seeing corrections climb in here, Brooks. Yes. He's actually our consensus wide receiver 26. I mean.

Wait, what happened? No, let me tell you what happened. Let me tell you what happened because Brooks was trying to be sly and get past this. We pull up this dog. We're talking, you two gentlemen are talking, and I see I've got Michael Gallup at 43. I'm like, no, I do not. I pull up my rankings. I look all. I'm like, this is just flat wrong. What? So, and then, but Brooks caught it on his own before I messaged him and fixed it, but still.

So this is a recent... Still gets called out. This is a recent transaction then that you have bumped him up. No, I didn't bump him up. This is where he was from the moment that you... I have no idea how... Brooks just screwed up the very first thing he had to do today. That's what happened.

The very first thing he had to do on a Monday morning, which is really just putting in our ranking. And he found it and corrected it on his own before we got to talk about it. Even still. We got to drive the bus over whenever we get it. He's just trying to submarine Michael Giles value so he can draft it. Darned right. All right. So where is he being? Right now he's being drafted in the seventh round.

Eighth pick of the seventh round, wide receiver 33. Our consensus ranking has him at 26, which backs up your point of saying right now Michael Gallup looks like a value relative to his draft position. Some players, you can kind of see the map. You know that, yeah, his draft position is here now, but you kind of know where he's heading. For instance, a player like C.D. Lamb might be drafted.

very, very late right now, but you can kind of foresee if something happens in training camp preseason early buzz. Those players jump up and you can expect it. I don't expect Michael Gallup's average draft position to change at all. I agree. I think this is exactly where he'll be drafted. There are people out there that are hopeful like us and people that are scared off by C.D. Lam. But if C.D. Lam was not drafted, I think Michael Gallup would be.

would be being drafted in the low teens. I think he would be the new hotness and everybody would be all about Gallup. And I don't. If you're calling for a five round plummet. Yeah, I don't know about low teens. I mean, this was a Marty Cooper narrative, the money being paid, that's still present. He would be where. But you look at Calvin Ridley and the hype that he's gotten weapons leaving. I think he would be grouped with him. Yeah. No, you're right.

So buy, yes. I don't know what the game. What is the game? Do we just say, yeah, that's a great ADP? Well, I think we are highlighting the differential in our ranking and where they're going. So at least for Gallup, it represents a value relative to the average draft position. As the minions would say, this is illumination. Oh.

Quality. Well done. Quality despicable me reference, Jason. Yes, I do have children. I'm ashamed to say I've seen none of those. What? I love Michael Keaton. This is insane. Those are really, really, really good. Are so good. I know. I know they are. I've seen little bits of them. I've walked through rooms where my kids are watching them and I've laughed. Like, doesn't one of them have a guy doing like a.

You know, all the Michael Jackson dance moves on a ship. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's, yeah, that's number three. There you go. So I've seen little clips of it, and it looks funny. You got to sit down. Sit down. I'm on the outside looking in. Yeah, well, you can, you're allowed in. Yes, you are. You are invited. I'm invited to watch the movie. Just don't watch minions. Does that make me despicable? Really? See, I'm thinking it's good. It's not a, it's not a despicable, but it's still fine.

All right. So, uh, banana. Do we expect the draft position to change for Michael Gallup? No. No. Are we willing to draft him where he's being drafted? Yes. Absolutely. Excited to. That would be, that would be fun. All right. Um, Tampa Bay tight end, Rob Grancowski. So weird. Back with Brady. Now, I haven't looked at this. Where do you think Grancowski is going right now? If I had to.
