Ice & Fire Picks, Surprise RB1's - LIVE in NYC

And to be fair, Andy is a Hugh Jackson truther. He is the last one left. What do you think about those two, Barry? Tyrod Taylor's arm is made for Josh Gordon. Like that is a guy that he has a can for an arm. He can absolutely just chuck it down the field. Like Josh Gordon is a perfect Tyrod Taylor type player. Now obviously there's off the field concerns with Josh, but it's a good offensive line.

They have a lot of running backs there, obviously, that we think they're going to be able to move the ball. They should be able to sustain drives. And so, look, Hugh Jackson, I get the criticisms. But this is somebody that has coached productive offenses in the past. They've never had a quarterback like Tyrod Taylor. Like Tyrod Taylor is a good quarterback. I mean, the Browns aren't going to be any words. He was a playoff quarterback last year. He was a playoff quarterback last year.

And by, I mean, like, Sammy Watkins win healthy, like on a points per game basis. Sammy Watkins was an elite fantasy wide receiver under Tyrod Taylor on an offense in Buffalo that was worse than what I think will be in Cleveland this year. Yeah. Yeah, I highly recommend checking out the beginning of the Philly show. That'll be up on Saturday. Thank you, audience, that knows that next question. We don't know where we are. We don't know what we're doing. Thanks, man. Thanks. What's up?

What's up, Ballers, Matthew from Brooklyn, New York. What's up, Matthew? I see in you guys. Solid name, solid name. I'm a big Jets fan. I love to have it. I'm so sorry. You lost me. We got Vinnie Test Verdi in the audience. It's actually Vinny. It started out well for you as a Jets fan, and then the room turned quickly. Some of them are chanting. But that's what it's like to be a Jets fan. You have to wear a Testa Bertie jersey. I know. I know. That's what it's like. Let me go back. You're at.

You're at like the Dick's sporting goods. Do they still have a nameeth? Do you have a nameeth? Okay. All right. What's your question? I loved having Robbie Anderson on my team. Sure. But are there too many cooks in the kitchen on this Jets team to draft a running back or a wide receiver? No. No, no. I'm a big Robbie Anderson fan. And I read some of Matthew's 10,000 word manifesto who makes the point that I was making as well, which is just look at his numbers from the middle of the season. He was a, I believe he.

According to the manifesto, you broke down week 7 through 10, and he was, like, wide receiver 4? Yes. I mean, he is a 25-year-old elite talent in the NFL that made Josh McCown one of the most accurate deep-ball throwers in the entire NFL. And so I think Robbie Anderson, he's one of my steals of the draft this year at his current draft price. Yeah, I agree. And I know that you like Quincy and Nunwa, because you remember when he was playing, and I don't want to take anything away from him and what he was going to be.

But he was going to be a de facto number one. He'll be fine in that number two role if he's healthy and catching the ball. But Robbie Anderson is an actual player. I would be happy to draft. But you also really like Isaiah Crowell as a draft steel. Yeah, because nobody's drafting jets. But no, but my point is I think that we are in the correct place. We are in the city of New York. Yeah. Brooklyn. Brooklyn. Fair. Fair.

But I think you just need to admit that you're a closet Jets fan. I like Hugh Jackson. I like the Jets. Maybe I just like the underdog. You just like bad teams. Maybe I just like bad teams. I was a Gus Bradley, Truther. You found me out. Yeah, I'm a fan of Robbie Anderson's value, not so much of any of the running backs. I mean, Crowell could get it done, but I'm more worried that his inefficiencies are a him problem. The offensive line was fine for...

the Browns last year, and he had the one big year where he was very efficient, but that was on the back of a lot of big runs. I want to ask you how you think the backfield breaks down in New York. Do you think there's a chance they cut Ballal Powell, and it's McGuire plus, or Crowell than McGuire? I think they're, I don't know if they're, it would be interesting to see if they actually cut Bilal Powell. I don't think they cut them. I think Rawls is a better, better candidate for cutting, but I do think, look,

I'm an Isaiah Crowell believer as well. Like, you know, like free Isaiah Crowell. Two peas in a pod right here. But McGuire. You want to switch seats? Kalin Belize. Am I number one yet? You might be. You're at 1A. You're at 1A. But yeah, I mean, I agree that I think Crowell would be the guy that I want. McGuire is somebody that I think is an interesting late round sleeper in PPR. They do not.

They've had every opportunity to give the job over to Blal Powell, and they do not want to. Yeah, they don't want to. They don't want to. They think he's a complimentary back at best. Thank you, Matthew. All right. Final question. Final. The final question. Okay, no more singing from Jason. He's so sweaty. What up, guys? My name is Freddie. Hey, Freddie. My question is.

Do you guys see any scenario where you could take Saquan as 101 in the dynasty? In a dynasty league? Sure. Yeah. You're saying dynasty start-out. You might want to do that. Any scenario? How about almost every scenario? Well, you're not talking rookie draft, right? You're talking a dynasty startup draft. Start-up draft. Everyone's there. If you want to, it's... Sure. I think you can justify it easily.

I cannot imagine a startup dynasty draft where Sequin makes it out of the first round. So if you want him, you're not getting him unless you take him right. I was asking for a friend. Yeah, of course. Absolutely. Here's my argument against Sequin Barclay. Just take a look at the guys who were ranked as top five dynasty running backs just three years ago. And you will find that three of those guys are not even in the NFL.

So that's an argument more against taking running back overall at number one in a dynasty startup. But I do believe. I would recommend wide receiver. If you're a Giants fan and you really want that, just go get Odell Beckham. Bill Gates is pretty good. Yeah, and it's, we are, along with Barry, we are very big proponents of, we play this game for fun, maximize that fun as well. But the shelf life, I mean, we are, we are die hard Arizona Cardinal fans.

I want David Johnson on my team. The guy is an absolute monster, but I have to look at the facts. David Johnson is already aging when it comes to terms of a running back, so I don't know if I want to invest that pick in David Johnson, who could be done in possibly three or four years, or I can get Beckham or Hopkins, who I think could have 10 years left in the NFL.

Oh, by the way. Oh, by the way. Speaking of O'Dell Beckham Jr., and maybe who you should draft at the 101. Freddie was the big winner. He's the big winner. The big winner. Hey now. Of the signed O'Dell Beckham, New York Giants helmet, full-size helmet, courtesy of Pristine Knox, and thank you for the helmet. Congratulations to Freddie. Congratulations. It's hot. It's hot. That. Thanks a lot, fellas. No problem. Congratulations.
