Okay. I mean, some good stuff brought to light there. I think. How does Jackson Dart succeed without neighbors and without Likely? I think Scataboo is going to be probably the second leading target receiver on this offense. I believe the checkdowns will be there. Like the Christian McCaffrey level usage is possible for Scat. Yeah. I mean, by the end of the season. I still wonder how strong he'll be to start the season. How high do you have Scat on your ranks? Probably not high enough. I've got Scat right now at running back 15. ADP's 19, so you're up above ADP. Only because I have him getting off to a slow start.

54:15 ↗

Because if I saw the fully healthy Scat. What if he gets off to a fast start? Then he will be like the running back six. The Giants is just a bunch of injury monitoring we got going on here for training camp. Theo Johnson, it took him two years to. In his second year, he's had a higher statistical season output than Likely has in four years. You know what I mean? This is. Look, this is why this is so confusing. If Likely was not signed. Theo would have been all in on Theo Johnson. Theo would have been one of the biggest.

54:48 ↗

Yes. Like breakout candidates to tie it in for the year. I was, my body was fully prepared for a Theo Johnson breakout call. But then they signed I Likely. Likely. I Likely. It's an iRobot. I mean, that is correct. I likely. I heard iCarly in my head. But it's like, what? Why? You had Theo. It's weird. Maybe this trade, I should pull it back. Hold on a second. All right. Okay. I think we're going to wrap it up right there. One more red alert for you. If you want to pick up the UDK before the pre-order discount goes away, pick it up before launch.

Launch is next Monday, June 1st for the Ultimate Draft Kit, ultimatedraftkit.com. If you are newer to the show or you're unfamiliar or you're not an Ultimate Foot Clan supporter and you don't know what's in it, our UDK includes all of our tier-based rankings, all of our premium stat projections for each and every player done by each and every one of us by hand, by the way. It includes over 50,000 words of original content. And somebody brought this up, like, does AI write stuff for you guys? Everyone's asking about AI. Every piece of content written, every blurb, every player profile, every article, all written by human beings.

56:00 ↗

Smart, capable human beings. You think AI can typo like Kyle can? No. Kyle's typos are 100% human. And the snark is as well. And custom cheat sheet creator, don't forget that. You get to make your own custom cheat sheet with customized markers. You can expand, collapse details in there. Sleepers breakouts, busts and values, the custom player marking for all of your draft day needs. All sorts of research tools like red zone reports, injury reports. The injury report is great because you forget. You just forget. Like, oh, what is he dealing with? Is he dealing with something? I just always click over to them and be like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

56:37 ↗

And you also get the draft analyzer as part of the UDK+. We've got consistency charts. And we've been doing this a long time, so it keeps getting better each and every year. All the risk and upside meters as well. Check it all out at ultimatedraftkit.com. Or like I said, if you're an ultimate Foot Clan supporter, you get it for free each and every year and access to all of the in-season tools and resources. That'll be it for today.
