It is ironic because he's at 16 and Andy and I both have him at 17. Oh, do we? Yeah. I don't have our individuals there. How dare you move him up one spot? Yeah, I mean, when I look at Daniel Jones, the amount of kind of gun slinging he did last year, it had its ups and downs to it. But it's hard to look at him and look at Baker. And then if for some reason the Browns do lose O'Dell Beckham, I mean, how do you get excited about...

55:09 ↗

Baker Hooper Landry. I mean, this is going to be on a Stefansky-led team. This will be the Nick Chubb Kareem Hunt Show with Baker managing an offense. In that case, I would be going Jones over Mayfield. And, you know, you can't just bank on draft capital to make Mayfield a great fantasy option. It doesn't work that way. Otherwise, Samuel Darnold would be here. Daniel Jones had 24 passing touchdowns. Baker was the one who set the rookie record a couple years ago at 27.

55:38 ↗

Daniel Jones essentially played 12 games. He certainly would have broken the record. And it's funny that we kept having these discussions of which one of the Giants wide receivers? Who's actually the number one wide receiver? Who's the guy that you prefer? Evan Engram might be the number one target for that offense. Can he stay on the field? That remains to be seen. But we do know when Engram was out there, Daniel Jones was giving him a ton of targets. And Evan Engram,

56:07 ↗

is a game-changing tight end. So if this is a full, powered, healthy offense, I really like Daniel Jones upside. If he can stop fumbling the ball so much. He just needs to fumble it into, like, Sequan's arms, and that will be fine. Big Ben at 17, Jared Gough at 18, Jimmy Garoppel at 19, and Philip Rivers at 20. When I saw those two names, I can promise you, now I will take Philip Rivers over Jimmy G for the upside.

56:36 ↗

Jimmy Garoppolo last year, if you want, you know, the talks of Brady to San Francisco. San Francisco fans don't want the rental. But Jimmy G. last year, lowest average depth of target in the NFL, 6.5 yards, through deep balls on 6.5% of passes, the lowest in the NFL. You combine those two, and it's like Alex Smith's wet dream. I mean, that was just a...

57:04 ↗

Not a game manager type of season from Jimmy Garoppolo. Yeah, I mean, he's surrounded by weapons that excel, though, with that type of work. I mean, the man, the man himself, Debo Samuel, when you give him the, you want him to be working in space and just getting the ball out of Jimmy Garoppolo's hands. Philip Rivers at 20. Jason, you talked about him recently when we're talking about T.Y. Hilton.

57:31 ↗

being put in that system. Great offensive line. You need that for the immobile, Philip Rivers. Do they need another weapon, though, for him to move up from this 20 ranking? Do you need to give somebody, put somebody else on the outside other than T.Y. Hilton? Yeah, I don't, I don't think they have the core that is good enough. I wasn't a huge Paris Campbell believer. And while I think Jack Doyle will be fine for fantasy, I think he is.

57:52 ↗

not who you want to basically be your number two option. You know, if I'm in this range, the two guys that I like are Ben Rothlisberger and Jared Goff, because both can explode, have big games. You know, those last five weeks when... For Goff? For Goff, he was pretty good. And that was with the system where you had Cup and Cook's splitting time. So Goff is a little bit intriguing to me because he'll be free. Nobody's drafting him. And then, of course, Big Ben...

58:21 ↗

was great for fantasy but then got injured. Now people aren't going to want the older guy that they haven't seen post-injury. So he will probably be free. And if he comes back to health, then you just are stealing a great fantasy option undrafted. There are several completely undrafted quarterbacks this year that at least have a pathway to being a really great fantasy option. Yeah. And is this the part of the show where I...

58:50 ↗

am able to get political again and stump for C.D. Lamb to Arizona. So that way. Yes. Just all of. It's Murray Hopkins, but also C.D. Lamb, maybe. And then Fitzgerald and then Kurt and then Isabella. And no offensive line. Is that this is the part? Then trade up for Judy. Aren't you willing to vote for that platform? Oh, man. For fantasy. Sure. For fantasy. That's all I care about. Also Super Bowl champion Arizona Cardinals on the way. All right. We want to thank Pristine auction.

59:20 ↗

for supporting the podcast, great friends of the show, and Alan Robinson signed jersey $58.50.50 yesterday at pristineauction.com. They're hearing Jason disrespecting Alan Robinson. Unbelievable. Let me tell you something. Part of the brilliance of pristine auction is not only getting a great autograph piece of memorabilia from a favorite player very inexpensively, but it's...

59:48 ↗

It's that when you do that, you have something to brag about. It's like, I stole this for this price. You have preseason power up. I was doing, you know how people talk with their hands? I was talking with my hands and I just swiped the soundboard. I might have played that with my mind. Yeah, I think you did. That's Mike's favorite drop. He was so excited about pristine auction. He was powered up.

60:18 ↗

Didn't you're a goofy movie guy? Oh. How do you know I have a goofy movie tattoo on your body? I feel like that it's at the right time. Look, it's a fair question. I don't know. Maybe if I found the right artist, I could get a power line tattoos. When was your last tattoo? A long time ago, man, way too long. Was it before we started the podcast?

60:41 ↗

No, no, I got sleeved up. Oh, that's right. Like basically when we got our new space. But it was the 25th anniversary of the goofy movie. It was a sensational week of celebrating the greatest animated picture that Disney has ever produced. Had an excellent time with that. It's almost like you're sponsored by the goofy movie, which doesn't make any sense, but you would. You would take it. The goofy movies out there throwing cash out. This is their time. They don't even need to pay me.

61:09 ↗

man, I'll be the spokesperson for the Google movie. We find out Mike's been paid all these years. All right. Just to close out what I was saying before I hit preseason power up for no reason. Pristineauction.com. Use the code ballers when you sign up over there and get a $10 credit. Very excited about our announcement for next week. Very excited about the NFL draft and our rookie shows. This is going to be a lot of fun. I mean, we finally have the NFL

61:39 ↗

back in the spotlight where it needs to be. I'm excited. Well, Jason's just footballed up. Yeah, in his high rise. Whatever that means. You know what I'm saying? That's what my mom always said.
