Yeah, it just seems like a given, but what are they waiting for? Yeah, maybe to find out if they have their quarterback for more weeks of the year. I don't know. He's probably hurt himself a couple other times we haven't heard about. Good point. But Jarvis Landry specifically, you know, there's been some rumors about him going to Baltimore. That makes a ton of sense. They just lost Hollywood Brown. But from a fantasy perspective,

15:11 ↗

Is there a good spot for Jarvis Landry to go and make an impact? That's not a bad spot. I've also seen rumors for the Saints that he, you know, him and Michael Thomas, you add in Chris Oliva and all of a sudden you go from what looked like a, you know, one of the worst wide receiver rooms in the league to something decent for James. I don't know that that would be great for Jarvis, but that would be great for James. I have an interesting dynasty related question for Jarvis with Jarvis Landry situation. Would you rather have.

15:41 ↗

Jameson Crowder, who is walking into 100 plus target vacuum from Cole Beasley in Buffalo or Jarvis Landry in the free agent missed. Crowder. Easily. Yeah. Do you feel that way too? I lean that way because both are very similar in the sense that they seem like assets at the end of their line and one of them already has a good spot. But Jarvis was just such a better.

16:10 ↗

player. I think Jarvis is a better wide receiver than James and Crowder by a decent amount. Did you see who picked up James and Crowder in our dynasty league? I can guess based on a tone of a voice. Yeah, because I dropped him. Yeah. I'm excited for the prospect of some targets there. Spot start here or there. Another report taken for what you will, ESPN Falcons reporter. Michael Rothstein believes Atlanta could use Cordero more at wide receiver this season. Let's hope. That's when he was amazingly valuable.

16:40 ↗

Makes sense. It will be nice for fantasy football because he is a running back. And if you get a running back out there, running actual wide receiver routes, that is a boost. And it will be interesting to see how the other running backs shake up with the death chart. I love Tyler Algier out of BYU, but we have to be realistic that he was a fifth round rookie selection. And there's a...

17:09 ↗

The running back position is devalued to these NFL teams. Get that. But there's a reason why players drop down there. And Damien Williams wasn't great the last time we saw him with the Bears, but he is a name to pay attention to over this off season to see how news is shaking up. Because he could be walking into a bunch of touches if they need Patterson to play more wide receiver. I mean, the Falcons have proven, Kyle, that they're willing to play subpart talent at running back.

17:38 ↗

over the course of an entire season, regardless. So if Damien Williams could, even if he's not good, I mean, Mike Davis played a lot of running back last year. Patterson, you remember, the reason he was valuable at the beginning of the year was the target total, six, seven, six, nine, five. At the end of the year when he struggled, two, two, two. So you need him to catch the football, either lined up as a wide receiver or out of the backfield to really get any sort of difference-making value.

18:07 ↗

from Patterson in that offense. So Cordero, Pitts, Drake London, all there for Marcus Mario to figure out what to do with them. Any other news, Bruxie? No, sir. Time to mock. The fantasy footballers mock draft draft. Oh, we already have a draft order determined. So we're going to rotate through. We're just going to go.

18:35 ↗

Couple rounds, right? A little rookie mock draft. Yeah, two-rounder. A little two-round mock draft, Mike. You get the number one overall pick. Excellent. What are you going to do with it? I'm going to draft Brise Hall. Briseall running back. He was selected by the New York Jets in the second round. His production profile is off the charts. He's big. He's strong. He's extremely fast, as we saw at the Combine. The question for him will be how much work does...

19:03 ↗

Michael Carter get. And Michael Carter could be obnoxious to the fantasy value of Breece Hall, but I believe that sooner than later, Bruce Hall, look, almost every team has a timeshare with running back. Breece Hall will be the leader of the timeshare, and he's just, he's dynamic in all parts of football, especially with past catching. So I think that he is going to quickly be an RB1 that people want on their team.

19:32 ↗

Well, it looks like I have the 102. And I will go with my number two ranked rookie. Do you have Breeze at number one? I do have Breece at number one. I have Garrett Wilson. Of the exact same New York Jets at number two, this would be a position where, look, if you're in a real rookie draft and you didn't feel like the rest of the league had that type of, like if you thought he could drop a spot or two, which you have him at four Mike, Jason has him at five. If I knew that, I might try to.

20:01 ↗

Get a little draft capital, move back a spot or two if I really had them at number two. So I think Wilson's NFL ready. I think he has a quarterback that's going to take a leap forward with some improved offensive line play. And I think the opportunity is there for Garrett Wilson. I think, you know, you look at the other options here. Obviously, if you needed a running back, you could go Kenneth Walker. Jameson Williams is not going to be ready out of the gate. And so Drake Lennon.

20:28 ↗

With Marcus Mariotta, I mean, you can take your shot there too long term, if you believe. But I think Garrett Wilson, he's my number one rookie rookie receiver. And he's my number one rookie wide receiver. I think the landing spot's actually pretty darn good in New York. And I think they're going to let, they're going to let Zach Wilson throw it to Garrett Wilson quite a bit. Yeah, I like Garrett Wilson.

20:51 ↗

prospect. I don't like his landing spot as much as some of the other players, which is why he's down at five for me. I would much rather compete for targets with Audit and Tate rather than Elijah Moore or the wee little lad. So I will take Drake London. He's my number two prospect. Mike, I believe he's your number two right now as well. Marcus Marietta isn't the best, but he's capable enough. And because of the, it's basically Kyle Pitts.

21:19 ↗

and Drake London. I think he gets 115, 120 targets, rookie year can get near 1,000 yards. And the touchdowns will probably be, you know, four or five. I don't expect a massive breakout season for Drake London, but I do like him. I think his situation is better than Wilson's. By the way, if you want to see all of our competing rookie rankings in the UDK, you can go and check that out, Ultimate DraftKit.com.

21:44 ↗

And there's even more rookie breakdowns in the Dynasty Pass. But Mike, you are back on the clock. Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, Drake London, the first three picks in this rookie mock. Sure. So for me, when Breast Hall and Drake London come off the board, this is where things get interesting of the supply for true impact players at the running back position. It is, it's Kenneth Walker. James Cook is my running back three, but like.

22:12 ↗

I won't be taking him anywhere near the top of your first round because he'll be a pass catcher and not utilize like Breece or Walker. And the tier of these wide receivers is so interesting. There's so many first rounders left that I want to highlight Andy what you were saying, your point of have your guy in mind that you really want here. And this may be a perfection, like a perfect year.

22:42 ↗

to move back one or two spots if you're cool with all these guys in this tier and just pick up maybe a second next year to move from the 103 to the 105. Those things can absolutely happen. And I think that that's a pretty sharp move to go with. I am going to, I had the 104 in our dynasty league. I really wanted to shore up my running back room. And so I'll just, I'll.

23:09 ↗

go with that consistency of. I took Kenneth Walker here at the 104 in our Dynasty League. I will take him also in the mock draft knowing that if you don't take Walker here, you aren't getting a running back of any notes, really. That could be an RB1 at any time in the future. Well, Walker is another one of those players where if you go back to Jason's tip and the quick question, be aware of the situation. They re-signed Rashad Penny to a one-year deal this season.

23:37 ↗

And beyond that, this could be Kenneth Walker's backfield. Chris Carson, still dealing with the injury. Chris Carson may not physically be able to play football again. He's clearly one of those cut candidates during the off season, which is unfortunate. But Kenneth Walker is ready to go. Think about the logic here of the outcomes that can happen in Seattle. Rashad Penny dominates.

24:05 ↗

Right. Then he gets paid too much money for them to afford to bring him back with Walker. Rashad Penny doesn't dominate. Kenneth Walker has a great first year impact because of that fact, right? Aren't those the only two real outcomes? Yeah, I mean, in either situation, you're talking about year two, Kenneth Walker, really having the lion's share. Now, you hope that the offense can improve, that maybe they can upgrade it over Drew Locke, and you hope that they throw it to Walker. Walker can catch the ball.

24:33 ↗

I know he didn't in college, but he's a good pass catcher whether or not he's utilized that way, TBD. Well, did you hear old Peach Cobbler, head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. He did say if Drew Locke were in this draft, he would have been the first quarterback taken off the board. That's probably true. He did say that. GMs make a lot of mistakes. That's probably true. I don't know. I think Pickett would. I think that would have taken Drew, I would have taken Drew Locke over, can he pick it? I would not.

25:01 ↗

No, I wouldn't. No, I wouldn't. All right. I will leave you in suspense here. I have the fifth pick in our rookie mock draft, Hall, Wilson, London, Walker. But let's take a quick break.
