Tier Jumps, Tough Questions, Fedora Jason

or Damien Williams at his ADP. Which right now... That's going to be hired in a seventh. Yes, it will be. This is a half PPR. That's the hard thing about this is if it's ADP at time of draft, at the time of the draft, you'll know if Damien Williams projects out to be the guy or not. And if he's projecting out to be the guy, he's going to go at least in the third round. Yeah. So let's say Damien was the guy, though, and he's in the third round. Would you take him there over carry on for a seventh? I mean, that gap right there is...

pretty tough to decipher. I think I would take Damien. I think I would take Damien still. If it's a third round, if it's up to second, I'll go carry on. That's exactly what I was just about saying. I think if he projects to be the guy, they don't really add anyone, but, you know, some scratch behind him, then I think he'll be in the second round. And at that point, I would take care. I would take carry on. And just for clarity, Carry on Johnson, my guy, Damien Williams, Jason's guy. Yeah. Yep. Yep.

Jason's going to explode. Oh, man. He's just going to fully... This is the best show ever. Who's the guy from the Pixar movie, the... The anger? The anger? We're the inside the body of the anger? Anger. I can see Jason getting mad. Who's that angry feller? This fedora's about the reach the ceiling. And then the fedor goes straight up in the air. Brooks, can we spend some hard-earned money and effort to get a system that will slowly just drop a fedor onto his head at certain times of the show?

Episode 693, my least favorite episode. My least favorite. Oh, 693? Yeah. That means Big 700. Yeah. It's coming soon. It's coming. It's coming. All right. Here's a great question, because I don't think we've talked a lot about it yet. We will. Chris Molina writes in from Twitter, what are your expectations for Jerich McKinnon next year? Seems like Shanahan's system has been very RB friendly. Very. By the way, yeah. Colonel mustard last year. Rahim Mostart.

Jeff Wilson Jr. The name is Jeff. Both guys had success last year, and you're not even mentioning Matt Berita, who looked electric in that offense. What do we think about Shanahan, Jerich McKinnon's return? I love Jerich McKinn next year. I am not worried. In fact. Devonta Freeman, Jerich McKinnon. Freeman. Freeman.

Yeah, I guess I would go Freeman. Which injured player do you want to? Yeah, I know. That's the, that's the issue. Seems like the role is better for Freeman. And Freeman has established that he can play 16 games. I mean, this is, you know, he's done it year after year after year. He got injured once. So I'm not, I'm not too worried. This was Derek McKinnett's first chance to be the guy. And granted, it wasn't like it was a workload he couldn't handle. This happened.

before the workload even started. But I do very much like Jared McKinnon. The San Francisco system is going to be great, and because he's coming off that injury, he won't be valued even where the high expectations are. Like he won't go, you know, people think, oh, he could accomplish being the running back 10 this year. No one's drafting him as the 10th running back off the board, even the optimists, because he's coming off that injury. So I think I'm very much going to.

have a lot of stock in him this season. All right. By the way, if you wonder about the Kyle Shanahan effect, and we're going to get into coaching changes and some previews on that, listen to this. The Shanahan running backs, 2015 in Atlanta, 7th most fantasy points, 2016 in Atlanta, the most. 2017 last year was San Francisco without Jerich McKinnon? Two years ago. Yeah, sorry, two years ago. Eight most fantasy points.

So that was Carlos the Carlos Hydeger. Yeah, the Carlos Hyde year. It generally works out for Shanahan running back rotations or, you know, as was the case in Atlanta. Yeah, they had the 13th most fantasy points last year despite only six rushing touchdowns. Yeah. That's bananas. Here's, we're getting a lot of Antonio Brown questions. What's the dream landing spot for Antonio Brown? Pittsburgh. Where's the most realistic landing spot? Dream spot.

Realistic spot. Let's take Pittsburgh out of your options, Mike. Okay. Which very well might be the most realistic landing spot. He's already landing there. He's already landed. He's been in Pittsburgh. He's not re-landing in Pittsburgh. His flight is sitting on the tarmac. He's trying to get out, but there's like, no. Assuming it takes off and he flies away from Pittsburgh. Look, there were some talk this morning. I don't know if you guys saw this. The New England Patriots at the trade deadline last year, the most aggressive team trying to get Odell Beckham Jr.

is a dream landing spot for Antonio Brown? Is it going to someplace like New England? No. Here's the different train of thought, and you guys correct me if I'm wrong. There's two possible destinations for Antonio Brown to me. There's put him on a great team, but then he's probably not the only guy. Then there's put him on a bad team where he's 100% the guy, but you don't have as much trust. So you put him on a team like, you know, hypothetically, people might say New Orleans.

Dream spot. Well, you got Michael Thomas, right? You've got two or three running backs that catch the football. Put them on a bad team, right? And put them in Arizona, and you got a Josh Rosen problem. So what's the actual dream land? Is it Carolina with Cam Newton? It's funny. I haven't heard that. And I was literally just going to say Carolina a la Steve Smith back in the day.

You know, where you got that hyper target. I know they brought in DJ more to be that, but if you have the chance to get Antonio Brown, I think Carolina would be one of those spots. We've brought up San Francisco before. That's certainly a great spot as they don't have an established number one. And they do have what they think is a premier quarterback. My dream spot would be Arizona to trade Josh Rosa for him straight up and then draft Kyle Murray. I actually think I have a dream spot for him. I've got my pick.

It's Indianapolis. Okay. I'll take him in Indianapolis. You still have that. He's not necessarily the guy with T.Y. Hilton there. The thing is, is T.Y. Hilton makes his mark on 60 catches. He can't. He can make his mark with 60 receptions. I think the combination of great quarterback, ascending team at 10 and 6, and then the opportunity, in my opinion, he'd walk in and be the one. So that's where I'd go. I don't want to, if he signs in, I guess he's not going to be in the AFC North. They've already said that.

Right. He's not going to be on the Patriots. They've already said that. Oakland. And then the other interesting one, I don't know if the fit makes sense, but the Philadelphia Eagles definitely need help at the wide receiver position with, I believe Mike Wallace is a free agent. Yeah. And, I mean, like Alshan is great, but if Antonio Brown went there. But San Francisco, do you like him in San Francisco? I do. Because Garapolo is good enough.

Kyle Shanahan's offense can score points. So not bad. Yahoo's Matt Harmon, who's been a part of the ultimate draft kit for years now, he puts out his reception content. He charts each of the individual pro receivers, their strengths, their weaknesses, and rates them based on just what they're doing on the field. Yeah, this is inconsequential of how good your quarterback is. This is how good is the wide receiver? 16 hours ago, he tweeted out. He said, been charting Antonio Brown for reception perception this weekend.

It's so wild we're even talking about a hopeful contender trading for this type of talent. He's a total wizard open all the time, a difference maker. Wherever he goes, man, he could land in Detroit. Want Matthew Stafford? No. No. All right. No. Yeah, I'd be fine. Please don't. I don't want it because of the offensive coordinator change, but we'll talk about that in a couple episodes. All right. We've got time for a couple more. Where will Philip Lindsay be drafted it? This is from Brandon Hicks on YouTube.

I think he'll be drafted late third. Yeah, right around there. Twitter, Brent Curtis. Who is the better keeper for 2019 and beyond? Hunter Henry or O.J. Howard. O.J. Howard, for sure. Yeah, I agree. It's Howard. YouTube, the classy H. Czech. I don't know how to pronounce that. What is your number one guy? Who is your number one guy for 2019? Talking everybody or you're talking rookies?

Hey man, I have the question as it's written. Everybody. Who are you driving? You've got the 101. Who are you drafting today? I want to say it's Todd Gurley. Right now I think it's Sequin. But those doubts, those C.J. Henderson doubts are creeping in. I was telling the guys this morning, I have Gurley in our dynasty league. There was a time at the end of November last year when I was offered David Johnson, Devonta Freeman at 2019 first, a 2019 second.

Straight up for Gurley. And I had to say no, because I was running towards the playoffs. Yeah, I mean, you were playing to win. There's no way I could do it. Now I look at that trade and I go, man. Because I, look, it's impossible not to have doubts. You're stupid if you don't have some sort of doubt. Now, how much weight you give it, that's your decision on where you pick them. But you don't normally have elite MVP world beaters that all of a sudden disappear for a few games. So.

I think we all, as Todd Gurley fans, we want news to come out that he had a hangnail that was real bad or something. You know, you want to hear a reason beyond, yo, I just wasn't playing good. Yeah, it's probably Barclay. And then the Zeke. And then Zeke is, it's close. I'm very excited to see what happens out when I project the full stat line who actually sits at number one. All right, Fedora Watch is almost over. Let's jump into.

Another good receiver here. Well, we got the Dante Pettus autograph on the wall, but yesterday, yesterday on Pristine auction, the deal of the day. DeAndre Hopkins signed Houston, Texans, mini helmet. JSA witness went for $73. Woo. He is the, cleaning up. Yeah, he's the number one right now in terms of redraft wide receivers. First wide receiver off the board.
