round six right now are and you're you're on the clock you're like you've been looking at a running back are you going that early on tevin coleman from this piece of news or jay are you still do are you confident in the this is just huffing and puffing from an agent uh i i'm fairly confident i mean it would it would partially depend on who's on the board i'm looking at our

14:22 ↗

the draft win right now, and ironically Rahim Moster was in the sixth. And if you knew Moster wasn't there, then I think Coleman would deserve to be there. But since we don't know for sure, I'm not going to take him over a David Montgomery, who we know is going to get a workload, and hopefully can't be as bad on a per touch basis as he was last year. So, you know, it's going to, it's going to depend who's on the board. But that's about where Mostert's going. Right now I wouldn't draft him where Mostert is going.

14:50 ↗

just based on the potential that it could happen. Also, Matt Berita, you think they regret that transaction? They do now. They might. And for those asking what happens if Rahim Moster is traded, not good things by my estimation, because for Rahim Moster to be moved, you know, I suppose that means that another team is willing to make, you know, a contract adjustment to trade him, but.

15:17 ↗

He's probably going to drop a most turd on some other backfield and ruin something for you. I think you said the biggest most important part, right? In order for this trade. The most turd? The most turd important part, which is in order for this trade to happen according to the agent is they need to go to a team who's willing to sign him to a new contract. Yes. What team out there?

15:40 ↗

What team in the world is thinking, man, I really want to give up something for Moster so I could cite him to another deal because he's Rahim Moster and I have to have nobody. That's why he's not going to get traded. He's going to stay on the Niners and be upset. He ends up in Miami with Brita. Get ready. No, here's the trade I want to see have happened. I want to see just a one-for-one player trade, Mostert for Brita and just be like, hey, would you rather have Moster? He doesn't want to be here. Heck yeah, I'd rather have Moster.

16:10 ↗

Unbelievable. All right. A couple of other quick updates. There have been some movements with the NFLPA and the NFL on finalizing structure around team travel, things like that. So some positive news about them working together to get through some of this. Camps are supposed to begin on July 28th, which I think is somewhere in the near future.

16:38 ↗

It is. It's tomorrow. Everything's tomorrow. Everything's yesterday. Yeah. See, now we're on the same page. Everything, yeah, everything is everything, man. And then the ESPN's Field Yates reported that this is this kind of big news. Rex Burckhead restructured his contract. He would have been cut if he didn't do this. It's probably a smart move for Burkehead and for the team. He was going to be a cap casualty.

17:07 ↗

after the Cam Newton signing, we thought Burkhead might leave, which might bring a little bit more clarity to the backfield with Sony and Michelle and Damien Harris and company. But he is going to be around, which means he's going to be around. Did you guys remember that in the first three weeks of the season? Because Burkhead got hurt as he often does. But the first three weeks, he had a finish of RB20 and RB10 inside of those first three weeks. Are you back on the sexy rexie train, Mike? No.

17:36 ↗

No, I'm just saying, like, my point is, if Rex Burkhead is there, he will get touches. That's my only point is it affects the other guys. Like Andy was saying, if Burkhead's not there, you have more clarity, you have more confidence in Sony. Damian Harris becomes like an interesting late round sleeper, but I think that that kind of goes away now. Sure. Yeah, I agree. All right, before we move on to the AFC North, Fookland, did you know?

18:05 ↗

You know, if two thirds of men deal with the male pattern baldness, Mike, then it's kind of heads up, me versus you here to fulfill it out. I mean.

20:53 ↗

Your mother's father. We know the one third. Full head of hair for your mother's father. Isn't that the one that's the clue for whether you lose it? Yes. I have heard that is the tail. And then I would be adumed. Really? Oh, yes. My mom's dad was bowled. Was about. Okay. All right. So you'll be the second of the third. AFC North. Let's talk about.

21:22 ↗

The AFC North, our divisional breakdown, walking through each of these teams today, beginning with the division winners, the dominant Baltimore Ravens. Last year, it was, well, it was a beautiful sight to behold if you're a Ravens fan. Number one in rushing yards per game. Number two in rushing touchdowns. Number one in passing touchdowns. Scoring differential was plus 249 on the season. That's a 15.5 point per game.

21:51 ↗

point differential on average. A really, really solid defense. You look at this offseason, a lot of stability on the roster. You lost Hayden Hurst. You lost Marshall Yonda, which is a big loss on the offensive line. But you added a couple of rookie wide receivers in the third and the fifth round and J.K. Dobbins in the second round.

22:17 ↗

And when you step back, go ahead, Jay. I think you added health in Hollywood Brown. The injury he had, everybody knew coming in would be hampering him through season one as a rookie. So I do think this team can actually take a step forward, even losing Marshall Yonda. Pro football focus still has this as one of the top offensive lines in football, adding J.K. Dobbins, getting another year for Hollywood. I'm soaps excited. And I think getting rid of Hayden Hurst is...

22:46 ↗

good for what this team can do through the air. I think it opens them up more. Well, it's worth bringing up the name to James Prochet, their fifth round, rookie wide receiver, a name we probably haven't brought up on the show before. I went and watched a ton of his college tape, and he was a very, very good player. I saw in some draft reports for Baltimore. Prochet was...

23:09 ↗

considered the steal of the draft for them. So that's another name worth bringing up. But somebody else is going to contribute in this passing game. It's not going to just be Hollywood Brown. And I don't think that we're going to be in a situation like last year where we're just, it's Willie Sneed by default. So I'm curious with your optimism for this offense, Jason, with the way that you have shined a light on Hollywood Brown, on Mark Andrews, on

23:38 ↗

just this team in general, do you think that there will be another surprise weapon in the passing game that steps up? You know, I do not. I don't think Miles Boykin or Devin Duvernay, these are good options.

23:51 ↗

But I think it's going to be similar, and I've said this before, to what we've kind of seen with Kansas City, where you have the one-two wide receiver tight-end punch because those are your most talented players. You've got your Tyreek Hill in Hollywood. You've got Mark Andrews to play the Kelsey role. And then will other people have a big game here or there, catch a long touch? Absolutely. But will they be a fantasy relevant weekend, week-out starter for a team that runs the ball as much as the Baltimore Ravens?

24:20 ↗

I don't see a third pass-catching option beyond Hollywood and Mark Andrews here. The only thing I feel like I really need to add is they will regress with the offense. We've been talking about that. I don't want to just hark on that more. But the formula of defense and running the ball is still going to work. The team added.

24:43 ↗

Calais Campbell to that defensive line who has been one. He's been one of the best D linemen now for years and still has it. Even when Jacksonville's deterioration on the defense last year, Clayus was still graded out as the third best lineman up front. And he is an excellent run stuffer. So I think that it's just more of the same for the Ravens. Obviously an incredible year for Lamar Jackson.

25:11 ↗

Fantasy-wise, we've talked so much about Hollywood. We've talked about Mark Andrews. I'm sure Mark Andrews is trying to get to the point where we say Travis Kelsey is trying to do the Mark Andrews role as opposed to what you said, where he's trying to fulfill the Kelsey role. That's the evolution that we want to see for Mark Andrews. But it ain't happening. Yeah, probably not. There's just not enough targets. Kelsey's a guy who could be 135, 150 targets if you really want it. I don't know that.

25:41 ↗

that this offense could support Andrews in that way. Let's talk briefly about one other aspect of this team that could have a pretty big impact on fantasy rosters and deeper leagues. And that is just looking at the backfield beyond Mark Ingraham. A lot of optimism, excitement, second round pick, JK Dobbins. You guys both loved him coming out of college. Obviously, we've talked about him being somebody that, if not this year, could be huge for next year.

26:07 ↗

But that backfield still has Gus Edwards, who 100 plus carries ended up having a great year last year, a lot of it in mop-up duty. But do you think JK Dobbins will have, let's say this, over under, he'll be start worthy in five games this year? Now, that doesn't mean that you'd be able to predict it, but I'm just saying at the end of the year, do you think you're going to look back and say, J.K. Dobbins gave you fantasy production in five games. Yeah, if I don't have to predict it, then, yeah, I'll take the over on five. Like best ball.

26:36 ↗

You know, 100% I think he'll be over on five if you don't have to predict it. But it's going to come in, you know, touchdowns, maybe a breakaway run here or there. I have him with 139 rushing attempts. Andy, I know you and I have a water bet as to whether or not it's going to be Gus Edwards as the number two to start the year or J.K. Dobbins.

26:56 ↗

I think J.K. Dobbins immediately takes over for Gus Edwards and his 133 carries last year. So in this offense with the fact that, I mean, you've just got to, when you've got to play against the rushing ability of Lamar Jackson, you can't stop these electric running backs. And that's what both J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingraham are. So I do think he will have a lot of games.
