NFL Draft Recap: AFC Winners & Losers + Big Trades - Fantasy Football Podcast for 5/3

in Indianapolis than people think. And if you like Matt Ryan, they have Kylin Grants in there, they invested on two other tight ends. I think it's a little bit more wide open from a production standpoint than maybe other people do because Moecoast can do more than catch the football. And they had lost Jack Doyle. Exactly. They needed to, they needed tight ends. Yeah. Yeah, this is. How big are the hands on these guys?

I believe this is where I mocked Trey McBride going because they did need a tight end. So it's no surprise they took Woods in the third round. All right. One more team left to get to here in the AFC South, but let's go ahead and take a quick break. What's going on for Klan?

I can think of so many situations where that element of being connected while you're on the go is fundamental to fantasy football success. I'm in the midst of multiple leagues right now where...

Well, the Titans coming off a number one seed, 12 and 5 finish, left their fans in utter sadness. Did you see the video?

Which video? Out of the Tennessee War Room. Oh, no. And Coach. What, they high-fiving? No. Oh, they were not. He looked like a... Oh, Vrable. Yeah. So Vrable had no control over this situation and... It's... And the things that I heard that the way the Tennessee was talking about it is they essentially felt backed into a corner. Like, this is just, this is something we're going to have to do.

We're not going to be able to keep A.J. Brown because we're so off on money what they were offering and what he was willing to take. So they had to rip the Band-Aid off and try and recuperate some value. I guess good on them for addressing it now instead of losing A.J. Brown later or having a very disgruntled wide receiver. But at least they were saying that this video of Rabel getting up and walking away was like right after the trade happened.

And he looked like a very displeased man. Yeah, I mean, it's a downgrade no matter what. Even if Traylon Burks turns into A.J. Brown, he's not likely. Which is unlikely. He's not him now. He's, you know, it takes acclamation to get into the NFL. And I do love Traylon Burks. He was someone that I liked pre-draft. I liked his film. You know, the real negative, the only negative that happened to him.

through the whole process because his film is good, his production is great. Everything, he checks like every box. His age, the only problem was his combine. His combine wasn't good, and we worried that he might tumble in the draft. Well, he did the opposite of tumbling in a draft. He was worthy for the Titans to trade away AJ Brown to select him at the 18th pick, which was a much higher selection than AJ Brown was drafted three years ago in the second round.

It's a good opportunity for him this year. Second round pick, right? Yeah. Oh, I thought you said third. I think I said second round three years ago. Maybe. That's what my brain said. I don't know what my mouth said. Kyle, do me a favor. Let me know what the financial implications of disposing of Ryan Tannahill will be in the next couple of years because that's part of the equation here too. Like coming into it when you're looking at rookie drafts.

It's interesting because Traylon Burke's on the surface. If this team stays competitive, if Ryan Tannahill stays the quarterback, there's great opportunity. If Derek Henry keeps providing them with this play action pass offense, Traylon Berks should have a great opportunity to be a year one impact player. But long term, if they do make a move and they do transition to Malik Willis or something of that nature, it could become more murky in Tennessee. As you know, Derek Henry is not going to be there forever.

They cannot get rid of him this year. It would be a $57 million dead cap. And even next year, it's almost-18 million. It's almost 19. So that's a tough situation. Maybe you can trade him away. But at the same time, I mean, Malik Willis fell in the draft for a reason. The NFL did not think he was pro-ready. You give Malik Willis possibly two years to learn.

I think that's a very good situation for Willis and then Ryan Tandy Hills contract is easier to move on from. What do you do with Malik Willis now when you talk about like, you know, dynasty startup drafts or rookie draft positioning because it's not what you thought it was going to be or like better yet, like two quarterback leagues where you're looking at the value of securing another quarterback in this draft and you thought Willis was going to be.

Almost a Trey Lansian type of pick. Well, he might be. He might sit for two years. Okay, okay. And so then it seems like such a more risky selection at this point. It certainly is. I mean, even though they traded up for him, which is a good sign that they, you know, they're like, hey, the value's there. We got to go get him. But he did drop. So the capital that was invested even in the tradeup isn't that much for a quarterback going into the third round. If Tannehill comes out this year.

And it has a really good year, which now is maybe a little less likely with, without A.J. Brown. Right. But if he comes out and has a good year, then Malik Willis's career maybe never even gets off the ground. Yeah, it's very possible. But this is a well-run franchise, a super well-coached team. That's part of why I like Trelaw and works. They always find a way. That's what I love is, is that he finds a way to utilize the pieces he has. And I think that if Malik Willis ends up the starter, it's going to be because.

he should be. If he shouldn't be, you know, he won't because Vrable cares about winning. And that's part of why I'm so high personally on Trelaen Berks. He's my fourth overall rookie this year because I think the opportunity he comes in with and knowing that there's a coach who was going to get the most out of him. And he's a physical freak that has the big body that is more predominant for fantasy stardom. Do you...

Have him over Garrett Wilson right now? I do. I have him one spot over Gary Wilson. Robert Woods comes away a winner because he's the most trusted. But at the same time, Woods is coming off an injury. It'll be interesting to see what happens. And he's older, right? I mean, Robert Woods has got to be, what, 31? 31, 30, 31? He was around there. They did take a running back in the fourth round, another big boy. I believe this was the-Hasson Haskins out of Michigan. He was the linebacker, right, who turned into a running back?

That I do not remember. But his production profile is, it's okay. In his, the final year there, you know, 1,300 yards on the ground, 20 rushing touchdowns, not a ton of receiving work. But then again, if they are grooming this guy, he's big. He's a thick boy. If he is going to be the new replacement for Derek Henry over the next couple of years,

then the past catching doesn't matter as much. The Browns, let's move to the AFC North. The Browns ended up drafting David Bell, wide receiver in the third round. A lot of people like David Bell. And then Jerome Ford, not a great situation. Some people really like Jerome Ford running back out of Cincinnati. But fifth round pick, not going to make an impact this year. Correct. But I believe Cream Hunt and who's the other? Chubb? No. Deeranis Johnson. Deerneris Johnson are both.

potentially gone after this season. So Ford could have a depth roll after that, but...

doesn't seem great. No, a fifth round running back whose fourth on the depth chart is never going to come into relevance. By the time he'll get his shot, they will replace running backs on the roster. So unfortunate, but he's a good depth piece. David Bell, on the other hand, I saw some people saying like that he was a big loser in the draft because he did fall to the third round. And some people had him as, you know, a high second round prospect. He wasn't the set the Combine World on fire.

Ooh, I like it. Oh, gosh. Bell fell to the third. But this is a really good opportunity. I mean, what is the competition? You have Amari Cooper and Donovan, people Jones, and Anthony Schwartz, a bunch of unproven guys. There's an opportunity there with Watson. Exactly. A good quarterback. Yeah, there it is. So I actually think David Bell had, he got a good spot. If you're going to fall into the third and be disappointed.

Might as well go to a place where opportunity and quarterback plays there. Al was very startled by the bell. I'm sure our listeners were as well. Well, I mean, it did. Oh, Al, for all of them, McKissick. Just give me a kiss. All right. Let's talk about the Ravens. We talked about the big trade. Hollywood Brown is gone. So coming out of the draft for Shot Bateman has a huge opportunity. First round draft capital, Mark Andrews. But also, let's talk about J.K. Dobbins, because this was a team that was rumored.
