I would presume I would take ETN in a full PPR just because they're both going to be drafted highly. So let's just say that they both are, they're both a first round pick and they both go to a good landing spot for their talent. I'm going to prefer the one that projects to catch the ball more. Naji has great hands. I agree. E.N, I get it. He's elite as a pass catcher. I'm taking Naji Harris, even in the PPR. I will go ETIN.

42:29 ↗

I think he will get drafted ahead of Najee Harris in the NFL draft. Not that that's saying everything, but I am a big fan. What it reminds me of a lot, a lot, because I thought Jonathan Taylor had great hands, but he didn't project to be utilized in that way. It reminds me so much of last year with DeAndre Swift and Jonathan Taylor. And DeAndre Swift.

42:53 ↗

you know, again, that's the whole in a vacuum thing. Then he went to the Detroit Lions. It was like, ah, why, why did, why can't we have nice? Why can't we have nice things? So where the, the true answer to this question is do not answer this question yet. Wait until the NFL draft and then decide who you're going to want for your PPR leave. Here's an interesting question from Instagram. Are there any rules that you can implement to make not responding to trade offers a thing of the past? I think we've all been there.

43:23 ↗

In fact, I've heard, I'm sure I've complained about it. And I've heard you guys complain to me before about like, look, you take the time, you take the effort, you put in the trade offer, and then you get just crickets. Yeah, it's not fun when you don't get any response. It is fun on the other side when you're like, that trade offer is bad. So I will not respond. Like, I, I always respond to trades unless it's one.

43:53 ↗

that I feel does not dignify a response, in which case I let you sit in it forever. And that feels great. Why not just reject it real quick? Oh, because then they'll understand and they can move on. They can make decisions for their teams. I would like to insult them back. I believe, as the kids call it, you leave them left on red. Yes, exactly. Okay. But what can you do to make people accept it? I think maybe people respond. That's tough. I don't think there's anything you could do.

44:25 ↗

overarching principle, you want people in your league that are all going to be active in participating. You also don't, I mean, just let me throw this out there. Do you want a league with no trade offers coming in or a league with too many trade offers coming in? Too many. Okay. So maybe just reject the bad offers that you don't like. Because if you start making it prohibitive, like not enjoyable to send a trade offer out, because everybody's perspectives differently. We say this all the time on the show. Trade offers look stupid and all of a sudden they go the complete other way.

44:55 ↗

But I can tell you nothing shuts down activity in a league more than if you send a trade offer and it sits there for days on end and nobody replies. And then you don't, like you said, you don't move on. You don't make other offers. You don't send that person an offer again. Andy's just making excuses for all of his terrible trade offers right now. Are they just left on red? Yeah. Okay. Well, I don't make them to you guys. I try to reject Andy's trades quickly. I make mine in person.

45:22 ↗

So you can just ignore me to my face. Mike, Mike. Mike. What do you say, bud? I know you heard me. You responded. And then stop talking. I am two feet from you. Yeah. All right. One more. Instagram. James Robinson, buy, sell, hold in a dynasty league. What do you do? I'm moving towards hold. I'm moving towards hold as well. I'm moving towards bye.

45:48 ↗

Oh, wow. Okay. Okay. So my viewpoint on James Robinson has been Philip Lindsay. It has been, I believe he is talented. He passes the eyeball test, but there's no draft capital. And this is a team that I think will eventually move on from him in a couple years. He won't have everything to himself this year the way that he did last year. And, you know, with all of that.

46:14 ↗

I think that's the going rate, the common narrative. And I think people are down on James Robinson. And the average manager who has him wants to move on. So I think you could buy him. Cash in, so to speak. Exactly. They think they're cashing in. And I think you're going to get enough value at least this year where it's worth making, you know, an offer. What's that offer in rookie picks? Because it's harder to...

46:39 ↗

Say just players. Sure. If I could, if I could flip. A late first. I've been offered. I've been offered late first for James Robbins. I would offer a late first. And I pass. If I've got the, the 108, 109, I would trade those for James Robinson. 108, 109. I'm hoping I can draft the running back that ends up like James Robbins. Exactly. I will say you're 100% right at the beginning of the off season, especially. I kind of looked into cashing in on the value. Like things can only go down from here type of mindset.

47:09 ↗

with James Robinson, and he could be an interesting buy-low. One point to the previous question about trade offers and sending them. Brooks makes a good point. He said, after you send the offer, message that person directly and let them know you send an offer. Oh, yeah, you can't just send through the system. Right. That's really important, too, because then if they get hit in the face with what they think is a bad offer.

47:34 ↗

Maybe you contextualize it a little bit in the message. And you say, hey, look, here's what I'm thinking with this. This would help you hear. Like, if you don't have a story of how this can help the other team, it's a pretty bad offer. Oh, 100%. You need at least a story. The story may be fictional. Here's how you need a story. I think this trade makes my team way better. And then you just let him know. That's right. We want to think, well, I'm going to ask one more question. I'm going to sneak one in because it's for Jason.

48:04 ↗

Oh. Instagram question from James. He says, does CD Lamb have number one overall potential this year? Number one overall potential. Number one wide receiver one overall potential. As a dynasty CD Lamb manager, what does your gut tell you? My gut says no. To be the true number one pick overall, you have to have an incredible target market share on your team. Think about Devante Adams, Michael Thomas. You just go back and you look at the 101 is 100.

48:34 ↗

60 target type of a player and Amari Cooper on the team just says he could Calvin Ridley was the was the number four I think that is you know in the in the highest upside for CD Lamb this year he could really do that but I don't think he can be the one-on-one unless injuries happen to to Amari Cooper yeah I think that's a pretty good argument I think it's a pretty good comp too with with Ridley the season he had like 90 for 1,300

49:02 ↗

And eight touchdowns, that's possible. Yeah. But in your argument, you're saying that if Amari Cooper wins all expenses trip to Hawaii for 12 months and C.D. Lamb is the number one. What's the outlook for you? Yeah. I think that that he has the talent to do that, the offense to do that, the quarterback to do that. If he has deck, yeah. He was. Right. All assuming. Deck Prescott. Yeah. I mean, think of his draft capital.

49:31 ↗

He was drafted to be right. Yeah, I get it. Bingo. All right. We want to thank pristine auction. Great friends of the show. Look, their golden ticket auction ends on Thursday night.
