He was making good decisions. He loved going to DJ Chark. DJ Chark averaged eight targets a game. I think he is an absolute no-brainer pick if you're looking for a wide receiver in the fifth and sixth round range. Here's, and I let me just piggyback because I think he is a no-brainer pick, but I want to make sure. And this Andy, I think, will love hearing me say this. I have him ranked as my.

wide receiver 12. That's just where the stats lie. I think that has a high probability of being possible. That doesn't mean that I would draft him there. That is so far above his ADP that if you can draft him where he is actually going in your average draft, that's where the real value is on chart. Don't just reach for his potential.

55:50 ↗

The reason he's on your roster all the time is because of what you think of them compared to where you're able to get him. Correct. Look, Jacksonville is difficult. I like Jay Gruden. I've been an advocate of Jay Gruden for years while he's stuck in the kind of personnel. What are we using? Swamps, is that the word? Is that the end of the day? In Washington for all those years. So there is this place where I have a lot of confidence in Jay Gruden to manufacture.

in offense. He's brought in some pieces that he likes. They drafted Chanel. They have Chris Thompson. The hard part with Gardner for me is Gardner was thrust into the situation. Teams had never seen him. His draft pedigree wasn't one that came in where he was like, man, this guy is a locked and loaded. He's a six-round pick. He wasn't a guarantee to take the next step in the NFL. So that's my hesitation with it. The numbers don't lie. He's had a really successful rookie season.

56:44 ↗

And when you compare it against other rookie seasons, he was wonderful. He did a great job. And I think he can continue that. I also think DJ Chark is one of the players that reminds me most of a young AJ Green. I mean, it's humongous. He makes contested catches consistently. I've got him at 18. I have no apologies for that. I think that's a great spot as ADPs 22. And he was somebody that carried fantasy rosters off the waiver wire. You talked about the quick question of the day to kind of put a bow on this whole episode.

spending on DJ Chark at the top of the year last year when you saw the breakout happening it you know I know Al Borland in the office he picked up DJ Chark with some fab cash I don't know what you had to spend on him but he was a stalwart of your very very bad lineup yeah for so many weeks you needed them bad so it's obvious why you spent and it was such a smart move considering your other roster probably your best player

57:41 ↗

Off the waivers. Only here at the fancy footballers. Can we give credit and destroy you in the same sentence? But no, he had a breakout season. I think moving forward with him as the bona fide one on the team, especially with what he did, specifically with Gardner, is the way to go. And he has a lot of upside. I hope Jay Gruden can, like, I know Jacksonville fans don't like the way we talk about the team and projecting the future. And Mike might have picked...

wide receivers from the two teams that may finish with the, they may have the first and second pick in next year's draft. They might, and I don't care. They're in contention. But, you know, but a lot of that falls on the defense. The defense has been decimated in Jacksonville. It's been completely stripped bare of that, of that amazing roster that they had a couple years ago. Clay us out the door now, too. Maybe that'll mean some great things for Gardner. Certainly a possibility. I believe in Jay Gruden, and I hope that Gardner is legit because the NFL needs it. Yes.

58:37 ↗

Because he's spectacular. He's a very fun guy. And if he has a monster year and DJ Shark does, I don't know what we're going to do with Mike Wright, but he's going to have some new tattoos.
