you know, cohesiveness as far as... I had to erase my guess, Jason. Because that's what you wrote down. You ruined everything. I was going to... Blam! I was going to present it. Like, I knew the future. But I am going running back and I think Peyton Barber here... Look, the Peyton Barber Lamar Miller picks, right? This is where when you take a tight end, when you take three water receivers early... Can I talk you out of it? Sure. We haven't... I think you should take... I think you should take Naeem Hines for our team.

55:33 ↗

That's what I believe. You think that should be my... I think you should properly pick Naim Hines here for our team because Heinz in a full PPR, great breakout ability, second and the last pick in the draft, looking at the waiver wire, looking at other options that you're going to have. Look, are you going to get a breakout from Peyton Barber in week one? Do you want to have him as a dropable candidate? Or do you want to see if Naim Hines has something more in store in year two in an Andrew Luckett-led offense?

55:59 ↗

Where he could be an 80 reception guy. He could be the Austin Echler that we didn't get, and you could get him five rounds later. I think Paris Campbell eats into Naim Hines quite a bit, so I worry, but I am 100% fine with trading this pick to you. Oh, for the last pick? And you can take him, and then I get the next pick. Okay, that seems fair. I took Naim Hines. Damien Harris went next. Payton, Barber, here we come. Dak Prescott. We do have the final pick. Jason, it's all yours right now. Juju, Julio, Julio, Julian Edelman.

56:28 ↗

Marvin Jones, D.D. Westbrook at wide receiver. Josh Jacobs, Lamar Miller, Miles Sanders, Naim Hines, at Running Back. Golf is our quarterback, Ingram, our tight end. Now, I do want to bring up, we talked about on the footcast, but the quote from head coach Bruce Ariens of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers talking about his running back crew, these were not glowing comments. No one stood out. He essentially said, yeah, our running back crew is.

56:55 ↗

Good enough. He said just okay. Just okay. We don't have a girly. We don't have a David Johnson, but you don't need to have one to win. And so for anyone looking for your Ronald Jones hype, Peyton Barber could 100% be the starting running back and the predominant running back on this team.

57:17 ↗

Yet again. Yeah, I think it's almost likely that he is, not in the long term. But for this year, they didn't address the position. I don't believe Ronald Jones has what it takes to completely win over that job. So Peyton Barber is probably the pick. You know, the only other guy that I question here because I know right now we are. Matt Brady is still on the board as well. I already traded you my pick, Andy. No, I just letting you know. No, I appreciate it. I wonder who he plays for.

57:47 ↗

in 2019. So I would throw out Dante Moncrief here as a super late, awesome pick. Careful. Because we went. Maybe. Yes. Because we did that. Now, I'm going to go running back. I think our team would be better the way we constructed it with big, heavy hitting wide receivers earlier. I want another shot at just making sure that we're okay at that position. The only other name I will bring up.

58:19 ↗

is Chris Thompson. Okay. In a full PPR league, Chris Thompson is the forgotten man in Washington. He is always injured, as apparently all Redskins are, unfortunately. But when he plays, he is a dominant PPR player. He is in this system. He makes me more excited. He's in the system like we are allowed to draft him.

58:43 ↗

He's in a system he's succeeded. He's in he's in Gruden's system that he has already found success. He knows it well. He's not a rookie coming in. You know how many targets he had last year, Jay? Last year while he's in. Tell me. 55. All right. Let's take Chris Thompson. I think he's because he had 55 targets.

59:07 ↗

That's how you make your last election. Here's what I will say, at least my prerequisite for the final couple of picks is I want to know in the first couple weeks of the year. What's going on with that player? I don't want somebody I'm going to have to wait half the season to figure out if week one, Chris Thompson targeted 10 times, it's a possibility. That's in the realm of possibility for sure.

59:28 ↗

They do have a clogged up backfield on a team I'm unsure of, but why not? Well, the nice thing is their wide receiver. The players who are going to be receiving the ball is such a question mark that Chris Thompson could actually become a reliable asset for whoever the quarterback is there. All right. Well, would you – how do you feel? How do you feel about the team? Obviously, the wide receivers, we're not going to have issues at that position. Sands injury.

59:54 ↗

But do you feel good enough in a full PPR, 12 team league, three wide out starting to have Josh Jacobs, Lamar Miller and Miles Sanders is your top running backs? That's the real question. I think because you are three wide receiver plus a flex and you've got Juju, you've got Julio, you've got Edelman, Marvin Jones, D.D. Westbrook. It's locked up. I feel great about the wide receiver positions with. So I feel investing that waiver attention. I feel the waiver attention. I feel good enough.

60:22 ↗

with our running backs exiting the draft. But I feel great with the wide receivers, which means week one, I'm taking a shot at finding the running back. Week two, I'm going to be trying to find the running back. Because with those four guys, four to five guys leading our wide receiver crew, it's going to be tough to find a wide receiver off the waiver wire who all of a sudden they're playing ahead of these guys. Right. Yeah. And obviously, you know.

60:50 ↗

And I love our quarterback tight-in. The quarterback was a steal value-wise. Evan Ingram, a lot of upside at tight-in. I feel pretty good about this. Yeah, I like it. And that's even with giving you guys tons of the picks. I mean, just imagine. We did it. Just imagine. Just imagine. Just imagine. Just imagine. Just see what disaster turned out. Have you been watching a lot of Friday night lights? Oh, I got the twang.

61:21 ↗

No, you just, I mean, high school football. Yeah. Big in Texas. Pristine deal of the day. Devante Adams signed Green Bay Packers, Jersey. JSA witnessed, authentic autograph, $71.37. Guys, Devante Adams is going to be really good this year. I was going to say, you don't have to be really good. Put these guys in order. Devante Adams, MBS.

61:46 ↗

Geronimo Allison. Sure. I think you just did. Yeah, I think I did. But I think it's more like Devante Adams. Dot, dot, dot. It's like four tier. Like we do the tier rankings. It's almost like, tier one. You guys have written off Jimmy Graham. MVS. I was continuing. Geronimo. Oh, wait. You were still delayed. That was just my pause. So you have, you've officially made the switch. I have a made, I have officially made the switch. Yes. Okay. I think I have too, Mike.
