really good question. It feels like by default I do, but I'm not sure it'll materialize that way if we end up with a rookie behind center. This is why we stack guys out as a team and every single individual on the team because instinctually I say, yeah, of course I like him better than Doyle and better than Hayden Hurst. But then when I step back and, you know, look at the ultimate draft kit and see how every single player was statted out and team totals and market shares and things that actually add up to reality.

55:21 ↗

I could very well see him lower in the list. So that'll be an interesting name to look at post June 1 when we launched the ultimate draft kit. All right. By the way, we have a top 10 running backs episode coming up. Yes. So that's Thursday. I would also, I just, I had this analogy that I wanted to paint a picture for everyone out there. Oh, boy. Imagine Aaron Rogers.

55:46 ↗

in his face when he found out that Devante Adams was traded for Devante Freeman. Imagine what his face would have been like if that happened. Because that's exactly, that is the exact situation. A team that needed to cut a running back to save money, goes out and gets a superstar. That's unthinkable. And do you guys remember that we got DeAndre Ha? I was so lost.

56:18 ↗

You know what? You were breaking down, but you are, that's what happened. That's what happened. His face would not have been happening. He would have quit. He would have just retired. All right. We got time for a little bit of mailbag. Let's do it. Mailbag. All right. Let's weigh in here. If you have a question, go to the website, the fantasy footballers.com.

56:51 ↗

Dynasty trade question from Jack in Boston. He says, I've been offered Drew Breeze. We're just talking about him. Drew Breeze and a fourth rounder for a second rounder. I need a quarterback, but not sure how valuable a second rounder is in comparison to Drew Breeze. Standard scoring dynasty rules. Okay, that's tough. So I guess let's start the conversation here. Is Drew Breeze? I know the contract was two years. Am I correct? And remembering that?

57:21 ↗

It could be, you're saying, like a Kurt Warner signed a two-year deal and then retires after one. Does Drew Breeze play two years? Or does you play one? I would say that's 50-50. And if you're going to make a deal for Drew Breeze, if you're going to go get him, you have to look at it from a managerial standpoint on your roster that you get him for a year so that you're not caught unexpected if he retires at the end of the year. If he doesn't, then that's a bonus. Now, that could still be worth it.

57:45 ↗

because, you know, a second rounder, their hit rate is very low. So if you end up drafting an Andy Isabella type in your fantasy draft, that's worth nothing. And you know that Drew Breeze is going to be worth quite a lot. I think it's just a matter of your team makeup, right? Like, are you a championship contender? That's the answer for me. If you're contending this year, do the deal. Yeah. Yeah, I would take a look around, though. Just see, because you might be able to get another quarterback who,

58:15 ↗

can be a top 12 guy and not have to pay as much. Like a Matt Ryan? I've still got a sad face because you mentioned Andy Isabella. One of my- King of the Jetweeps. One of my draft picks from last year's dynasty team. I would put him in the free agent loser list, unfortunately. Yeah. Hey, I had a dynasty question come in from Michael and he was asking, would you rather have Chris Carson in a 2021 first round pick or Derek Henry?

58:45 ↗

Chris Carson in a 2021 first roundback. Yeah. Okay. Or Derek Henry. And to me it was the same answer. It was if you're competing this year, Derek Henry offers you a lot of league winning ability. But you have to make a lot of decisions on Chris Carson ahead of the season. I feel like either way I'll take Henry. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, Chris Carson, we don't know.

59:08 ↗

what his value is going to be. We have to assume that the Seahawks, based on the health of their running back core, are going to add another running back, which means if Chris Carson comes back and he's healthy, he still might not be what he was for fantasy. And would you trade a 2021 first, assuming you're a good team, so it's not, you know, you're not expecting it to be, you know, the 101, a 2021 first for Derek Henry right now? Because I would. Yes. Oh, yeah. And so, yeah, I would take the Henry side of this.

59:37 ↗

How high would you go this year's first round pick for Derek Henry? Hmm. Somebody asked about 107 this year for Derek Henry. I think I would give up 107 for Derek Henry. Yeah, I agree. That's about where it's getting really interesting. I mean, we'll know so much more after the draft. Whenever there's conversations like that, it's so hard to know because a lot of people go to the perfect matches and all of a sudden the 107 looks great. If not, then, you know.

60:06 ↗

What if you don't get the luxury of waiting for the draft? If you don't, then I would take Derek Henry. Yeah, I think I would take Henry because, I mean, you're insinuating. You need a running back. Yeah. At 140 yards, 16 touchdowns. Right. But at 107, there won't be one of the seemingly surefire running backs available at 107. Yeah, you're passing the opportunity to get one of these great wide receivers.

60:33 ↗

But if your team needs that running back, then yes, I would take Henry. And I know the great part about Henry being on the franchise tag. It's still a contract year. You know what I mean? Like he has to be great if he wants to get paid next year. Yeah. All right. One more. A keep trade cut. You guys ready? Yep. Here's what you have to do. Keep trade cut. The Cardinals winning Super Bowl 55. 50. Oh. Or.

61:00 ↗

You win the league of record each of the next five years. So a five year run in the league of record. Five years in a row. Or you never lose in foosball again. All right. Fuzball is out the window because I don't lose regardless. Oh, yeah, it's out the window too. I like competition as much fun as it is to win everything. I would love to have good competition and win every game. It's the Cardinals. I'm keeping the Cardinals winning Super Bowl. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's 55?

61:30 ↗

Sammy Hagar is going to be there? I mean, in attendance, he'll be like he'll be watching the game. We'll work on it. We'll work on it. Yeah, I'm going to take the cards as well. Yeah. Although, man, the amount of a five-year run would just be unbelievable. Mike and I almost had a five-year run of playing against each other. Yes, that's true. Remember how great that was, Jason? I do remember how great that was. And it just depended on who you were.

61:59 ↗

I haven't even checked in with Brooks today. I don't know if is, is your microphone on Brooks? Are you there? Oh, I'm here. Okay. Are you doing all right? I'm doing great. I don't even see you on the video. You're producing the show. We appreciate that. We've managed to work out all of the remote recording stuff with limited disruption. Thanks to Al Borland and Brooks taking care of things. But are you hanging in there with all this madness? Oh, yeah. You know it. All right. Brooks's answer to everything is you know it.

62:30 ↗

I love it. Doing great. I love Michael Keen. Thanks for checking. All right. That is it. Like I said, early top 10 NFL running back or fantasy running back show on Thursday.
