Bradley, workies, sleepers, and breakouts. We have Daniel Jeremiah's big board updated to 2.0. You love to see it. We're excited. It's draft season. A little neat thing about this. We don't have landing spots per se, but we have rankings 50, top 50 that can move into your round one of 32, and then, of course, there's top two round draft capital, I virtue of math. Leading off, Fernando Mendoza. We've talked about him pretty at nauseam, Bradley. But let's talk about the idea of the Raiders being able to pair with Brock Bauer's Ashen Janty, they get Fernando Mendoza, they get their franchise quarterback, and then you have the idea possibly, there's a lot of money out there for somebody like George Pickens. George Pickens would call for about $30 million, might be able to get $35 million, I know I'm on Rob base salary. $27 million is the highest, of course, there's other receivers who make more with all the bonuses.

CDLAM, $25 million, DK Meckab, $25 million. We could get George Pickens there, and then I'm looking at somebody like a Omar Cooper, Elijah Sarat, somebody to reunion from Indiana with Fernando Mendoza, and then a signature player. So, a sign player, a drafted player, all of a sudden, the Raiders can be flushed with options Bradley. The Raiders have three, round four picks, round five, and two and round six. That's just prime opportunity, if you're just thinking of one side of the football, to build on some offensive linemen late, take plenty of shots, get some linemen from Iowa, right? Get some bulk out there, and you have Clint Kubiak, you just love to see it. Bradley, just break down a little bit, number one, Fernando Mendoza. Yeah, I, we all know he's going to go to the Raiders and the alignment with the current team makeup sets Mendoza up to be a solid QB2 selection when you're thinking like in the fantasy, fantasy streets, like, could he be QB16, could he be QB18, could he be QB14?

Yeah, when you've got Bowers, when you've got Genty, when you add what we project to be at least one wide receiver, I don't think it's going to be Pickens though, I know you let off with Pickens. Jerry loves his shiny toys. That's something that like from an NFL perspective, Jerry Jones is not going to give up his shiny toys without, without getting a pretty penny back. Like a Parsons did not, did not sell as many jerseys, did not make as many of the highlight real plays that George Pickens can, like Jerry is very enamored with these highlight real catches that George, George can do. So I don't think it's going to be that, but I could see a couple of four of this paired to get one of those veteran wide receivers that may be people are perceiving are over over the hill or maybe, maybe the Raiders are, they could look at an AJ Brown, if he becomes

available. That would be, that would be very interesting, you know, finding a, you know, the equivalent of a Stefan Diggs, you know, a little younger Diggs, but that concept of pairing like a veteran elite wide receiver with Mendoza, I think is a good move and then you already have, you have Bowers and, and, and genty. So I, yeah, there's a lot of excitement, but I think the takeaway really here is, you know, wherever Mendoza is going, I think he's going in the QB 20s, that I want a lot of Mendoza now before the value goes up later on in the off season, when all the chips and pieces come together, because we know that there's going to be vacated targets and vacated target share to be filled in by some elevating player. Yeah, and we say, we're going to have opportunity for maybe somewhere between a Jared Goff

and ceiling ceiling, somebody like a Brock Purdy, that's where my head goes, if I want to be massively bullish on somebody like Fernando Mendoza, Raiders have $87 million, number two to the Titans in salary cap space, according to SpotTrack. And then on Tankathon, we look around at different teams and who they're going to want. Raiders are there at one. I don't think anybody's going to make any approach or attempt at all. They're not even going to pick up the phone. You hear about due diligence. I don't even know. I think the due diligence would just be to focus on the number two pick, which the Jets have. And then it takes us to the number two ranked player, not the number two draft pick, but our one and one, our one and our super flex drafts, rookies, Jeremiah Love from Notre Dame, dynamic running back. Bradley, we spoke a little bit about the Raiders, Ash and Janty, Jeremiah Love. Now I know you're a Notre Dame guy, but putting that to the side, we'll see, how can we? Or Jeremiah Love in a vacuum, do your best.

In a vacuum, let me share with you some Jeremiah Love stats courtesy of Rich Rebar. We love Rich. Rich is one of one. Rich pulled this out. Jeremiah Love faced the lowest rate of light boxes in this draft class, 35%. When he did face a box with six or fewer defenders, so he had 70 rush attempts with such a set up defensive set up, he averaged 9.1 yards per carry, Jeremiah, and that is the most in the country. Now another Jeremiah Love stat while we're at it, thanks to Rich Rebar, got to cite our sources here. When Jeremiah Love was contacted beyond the line of scrimmage last season, he averaged 10 yards per carry.

That's the most of any running back in college with at least 100 rushes over the past 10 seasons. The comp that I'm seeing, people are like, oh, is he sake one Barclay or is he Breeze Hall? Here's a comp. Clinton Portis. Oh. Go throw back. Oh, oh, like we talked about talking ourselves out of the 101 and fantasy drafts. It's Jeremiah Love. I mean, barring a pre-combined injury, Jeremiah Love should be the number one pick in your fantasy drafts for rookies, no question, no question about it. So I know that was just a little bit of stats. We love Jeremiah Love. You should too. Don't overthink it. And heading down to number seven, Carnell Tate, 9010 for out wide to slot ratio. I would like to see him move around the formation much more. I think there's a lot more damage to be had at the next level. Number seven overall for Daniel Jeremiah.

We're hearing some noise about the Kansas City Chiefs and Carnell Tate, wine to lock in, nine pick overall, and the reason being, if you look at a lot of people will wish cast and want cast a receiver to be signed from outside for the Chiefs. Right now though, they are at negative $6 million. They're going to have to move around some money just to free up and you have an entire team to roster. So Carnell Tate really becomes appealing. What you're going to see is such a deep wide receiver class and the free agency class has plenty of archite wide receivers as well. I saw Matt Harmon drop an article where it's kind of like chef versus baking. You're cooking versus baking. You have different ways and paths that you can go with how deep this receiver class is for the rookies. Same thing for the free agents. There's so many different archives. You have the Pickens arch type. You have now Pierce Rashid Shaheed arch type. You have one Dale Robinson who is a slot underneath player. So you have a lot of different opportunities to go and get your guy and it's malleable

for these teams based on what they have. Do they have cap space? Do they have draft capital? Do they have one the other or do they have both right now with the Chiefs, I think an indicator that they will go wide receiver with their round one pick is the fact that they're not flush with cash to go out in the free agency streets for the receiver position. So Bradley, you're take on carnalty. Yeah, the, you know, a lot of I've been seeing in the X streets, people trying to talk themselves out of carnal Tate and I'm not here for that. I am interested in his landing spot because the landing spot, I mean, we saw last year Amika Buka just exploded when he got the opportunity. You know, a player that came to mind who got first on draft capital, about six, two, six, three, one, ninety five to two hundred, good college pedigree, CDLAM.

So like I think the issue is that sometimes people just overthink he's good. Like carnal Tate is good with this wide receiver, you like have we been let down by a wide and Ohio state wide receiver. The answer to that is yes and no. We've been let down for the fact that if you look across broad spectrum and this is where people might feel a little bit bit, is it's been non linear pass for so many players. Just pick them out of a hat Garrett Wilson to know fall of his own right with the situation with the Jess quarterback. He's still been very good like a hundred receptions in the season despite that Amika Buka though last year, tale of two cities, first half, second half, Chris Alave has had no fault of his own, the concussions, right? So you keep adding it, Terry McClure and how many years did it take to finally launch? Yeah, actually, I took him a full year, you know, a year and a half.

Yes. Junior, it's funny, it's not right from the launch, immediate, but we kind of got it last year with Amika Buka, but then there was a low, not saying that that's going to happen with carnal Tate, but Bradley, to your point, there's fatigue of, well, there's Jeremiah Smith. So there's got to be some kind of dent in the can for carnal Tate. I don't see it. The only thing that I can pray for and want for is something that you would get with all those receivers we mentioned, Marvin Harrison, Jr. is another one where there's a dent in the can and there's a discount in the price on entry because if you miss on the 10234 in that range and your working drafts on carnal Tate, well, you can just pray and hope that with the Ohio State run out with these receivers that there'll be some kind of a dip at some point, you just pray for that. But to talent wise, it's a home run. So I love the pick and I love where Daniel Jeremiah has Tate, let's hear from the podfather

regarding all these rookies. Rookie draft season is now, and you know that because on fast draft, we have the origin's tournament. That's right. The first way to early all rookie tournament is live. There's a $10,000 prize pool, start practicing for your rookie drafts and leverage your knowledge of rookies by winning cash and given that it's close to 50% full. If not already well beyond 50% full, a lot of those drafts included players that actually did not come out. So every draft that happens from here until this thing fills, you're getting positive EV. So go to fast draft.app, get the app and sign up with your host promo code for a $50 deposit match or use code fast. Fast draft is the next hot fantasy game. So get out there and start drafting faster. Close your eyes, exhale, fill your body relax and let go of whatever you're carrying today. Well, I'm letting go of the worry that it wouldn't get my new contacts in time for this class. I got them delivered free from 1-800 contacts.

Oh my gosh, they're so fast and breathe. Oh, sorry, I almost couldn't breathe when I saw the discount they gave me on my first order. Oh, sorry. Namaste. Visit 1-800-contacts.com today to save on your first order. 1-800-contacts. America leads the world in medicine development. It matters. When we get new medicines first, nearly 3 years faster, 5 million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home, and not relying on other countries keeps us safe. But China is racing to overtake us. Will we let them or will we choose to stay ahead? When America leads, America cures. Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead. Learn how at AmericaCures.com. Pay for it by pharma. You heard it. We've got all these workies that you're trying to get fluent in. You have some possible overlay opportunity, which is equivalent because there's players

in there like Mark Fletcher, who have been drafted, Trinidad Chambles. We got the ruling we didn't want to hear. There's players in there who are just dead in your lineup or dead in other players lineup. If you have a full lineup of just players who are live as far as playing in the NFL next year as workies, you got edge on the field. So you can have edge on the field. McCoy Lemmon provides plenty of edge. A lot of people have him as their wide receiver one. It's that rotation of Tyson Laman-Tate. Lemmon, I would really like the Rams to go after him. There was some smoke from Daniel Jeremiah, picked 13 in one of his mocks, and then of course he picked 29. I'm of the mind if you skip out on wide receiver if you're the Rams, you go towards a Tyson Sin, maybe they end up going and signing somebody like a Wondale Robinson. A Wondale Robinson would be perfect with Puka and a Wondale Adams, so you get a little bit of that arch type. It's not McCoy Lemmon, but you got a guy who's had back-to-back 90 reception seasons,

back-to-back 140 target seasons in Wondale Robinson. So there's some malleability there, speaking of the free agents and the draft picks, but number 10 overall, Kai Lemmon, what do you think Bradley on McCoy? You know, I had not read Daniel Jeremiah's blurb, and I looked at McCoy Lemmon, and I was like, I'm on Russ St. Brown, and then I read the blurb, and the last line, it's underlined highlighted. I'm on Russ St. Brown. I'm like, are you kidding me? And then I was like, no, I need to come up with another comp. I need to find another player that fits kind of like who we're looking for in McCoy Lemmon. And I was like, who could be another one that fit in that mold, that archetype? And I was thinking Robert Woods, who newly retired, Robert Woods? Robert Woods. Oh, the stars are aligning, coach.

They sure are, man. That is a nice line up there. It's going on down. Ken Yanzadeek, pick 16. To me, just simply put, he's Jonathan Taylor, build in a tight end body. I know on our last show, Bradley, we talked about not wanting to pay up at that premium price, and all the way down to tearing down to the guys like Brenton Strange, waiting as Dan Williamson always likes to talk about, tight end age like fine wine, and you may not want entry point price on somebody like Ken Yanzadeek, but there you have it. He's 16th overall. Bradley, are you fading Ken Yanzadeek? Fading. I'm very interested in finding out where he's going to go in rookie drafts. We saw in previous mocks that he's going to like four, fifth, sixth, seventh. That still feels pricey to me. He was a touchdown maker in college. He had eight at Oregon his last year, but he had, you know, zero in 2024, and that was

the year where, you know, he had 24 targets. So he really did come along this year, and we saw 83% route participation, like that's important. You're playing out wide, 12% of the time, that's cool. Like we're looking at some of the trends that he's putting up, and just not super impressive in terms of like a PFF receiving grade 72. It's respectable. It's fine, but there were games where like he disappears. And so when you talk about players aging like fine wine, Dan Williamson and so right, you're going to have to wait a while. You're going to have to wait for Kenyans to dig this is not, this is not a year one type of guy. This is a traumatic bride, maybe like you're going to have to wait a couple years. If you're going to see some payoff, we talked about Breton Strange on a previous podcast, like around two guy who was hitting, even so like Kyle Pitts, yeah, he had a thousand

yards is rookie. He had one touchdown, like the spike weeks were not fully there, they're not fully matured. And so the Kenyan Sedique pick is a long-term investment. So if you're attacking Sedique in the Dinesy streets, just know that like the odds are not in your favor that a rookie year break out happens. And you talked about players disappearing, Justin Jolie for NC State, there were times where I'd want to see the outright domination because I have full faith in his talent ability, but sometimes he would disappear as well. Well, you can get him in probably round three of the NFL draft and then round three and beyond, depending on the tight and premium format in your rookie drafts. So again, that tear down principle applies going down to Jordan Tyson, some new buzz about him, not going to test at the combine. He's still dealing with seemingly the same side hamstring injury that's bothering him. We had the ACL, MCL, PCL injury trio that he had a couple of years ago were progressively

further away from that. Is this a red flag for you, Bradley? I mean, you prefer to see more like this is going to move him down a little bit. I'm trying to think of a good for Jordan Tyson because he's 6 to 200, maybe a taller Mike Wallace. That's like I'm thinking big plays, I'm thinking explosion down the field, I'm thinking spike weeks. Like if you like Tyson may be a player that you target more in your best ball streets than you do in your stardom drafts, even if Tyson gets solid first round draft capital, I mean, he's 17th and DJ's rankings, like that will pretty much guarantee somewhere a first round pick. Like he's probably not going to follow the top 32, barring some issues. I mean, we look at what he did at Arizona State, week one he had 17 targets, week seven,

16 targets, week eight, 16 targets. There's pedigree of hyper targeting for Jordan Tyson. Next we want to see, you know, so yeah, it's big time he's a big play waiting to happen, but this is where you've got some risk reward involved in a selection like Tyson. So do we have to move him down a little bit? I think yeah, but let's not overreact. Like we want to make sure we're still getting exposure to high explosion play type of players. Hey, and the beauty is let's say this just gets a little bit of a dent in the value for him. I don't think he would fall past a team like the Baltimore Ravens who are there at 14. Oh, I don't know if I feel like that landing spot, but then while Declan Doyle, it's a little bit different. It's going to be a different set up. It's not going to be your old Ravens. So I'm going to contend. I'm very much in on Z Flowers player who I've been out on in prior years. I'm excited to scoop him up. I'm actively trading Jalen Waddle as much as I can everywhere.

One for one swap I would go for I would take on Z Flowers. The other team that by hook or crook, they're going to make sure they get a wide receiver. It's a Pittsburgh Steelers at 21. If Tyson were to fall, that would be the dream. So if you're the Steelers, they're just far enough where they're going to miss out on these top three wide receivers. Right. My God, if there's an opportunity because of something like this with Jordan Tyson, a good opportunity for the Steelers going to Denzel Boston. He's at 18 in Omar Cooper at 19. You can just kind of get our overall impressions on both of them as a clump here. I really love the fact that Omar Cooper is rising up people's boards. You watch him block. He's responsible for touchdowns that have nothing to do with him having the ball in his hands. And that is going to get you to stay on the field. Coaches are going to be beaming. I was beaming when I watch Omar Cooper film. And he's just rising up boards. He's eclipsing guys like Denzel Boston, guys like Casey Concepcion and many people's rankings.

I have Cooper just behind Casey Concepcion. And with this little dent in the can for Jordan Tyson, I can see some people moving them up at least parallel or in the same tier as Jordan Tyson. Maybe there's a break off where it's Tate and Lemon. And then there's a small tier of Jordan Tyson. We'll see. And then Denzel Boston, I really would love to see Copycat League, I want the New Orleans Saints to go and get Denzel Boston because you would end up in there and other team. They're buried. It's money laundering over there. They're at the bottom of draft or sorry, salary cap, the New Orleans Saints. They're in rough shape. Denzel Washington would be a great pairing because you would get that six four wide receiver where if you look across the division, Mike Evans, that's six five big body wide receiver. And maybe on the move though, Drake London, six four, Tatero Macmillan, six four, Target Magnet, a lot of raw things that are still out there for Denzel Boston, which if you look at Drake London's career path, it has been linear.

The development has been absolutely worth it. But I see that path for somebody like Denzel Washington. So Bradley Washington Cooper, what's your take? Yeah, Denzel Boston is a, you know, who's missing a big body downfield wide receiver as the Tennessee Titans. Get yourself some cam war with Denzel Boston and you've got like, what, Alshon Jeffrey, like mega touchdowns, big bodied wide receiver, I mean, we have Cortland Sutton as a comp here from Denzel Jeremiah, but like that is, that's looking real nice. The Omar Cooper, I'm not willing to, so we were, we talked about Omar Cooper in the last show. And yes, his ADP skyrocketing, I want to see maybe a couple weeks post combined, where does, where does the, where does it level out?

Does it level out at the end of the first round? Does it continue to rise to 19? Does Jan Daniel Jeremiah, like, is this the ceiling ranking for Omar Cooper? Or, you know, in most of the mocks, he was going in like the, the early 40s, late 30s, is that where he's going to end up landing? I think that's a major question because if he gets back in first round draft capital, that's very interesting. But if he's in the early second round, that's probably better landing spot because you have a better chance of getting him back aligned with Fernando Mendoza. So it's going to be very interesting to see where does the rocket ship land, kind of like how silver was a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if you follow the stock market there, their coach, but sometimes, you know, you see the skyrocket and then just, whoop, like does it, does it level out to something happen? I have a feeling though that the 19th rank is probably the ceiling for Omar Cooper.

And you love to see it as we scroll, scroll, scroll. There's a big gap between that pick 19 or at least that ranking 19. Then it goes down to Casey Conception at 33. He's very much borderline, late round one, early round two. I think you would be a great pairing with the Seattle Seahawks, with JSN, opposite JSN, you would have the opportunity, Cooper Cup could retire. And then if Shaheed goes elsewhere in free agency, you would have Conception on the other side of a very versatile JSN, JSN is not just a slot merchant, he's not an out wide merchant, he can do it all. And then you would have a pairing of somebody like Casey Conception, who could play in that mold and be a little bit lesser version of a McIleman in that Seattle offense and then get Torrey Horton in three wide receiver sets whenever that's run. There's just some excitement there in opportunities. There's any range of late round one to early round two, Conception on Omar Cooper.

I see the path for so many wide receivers in this draft and that's going to be the fun part, the unveiling of who lands where and if somebody's pick 33 to 40 or they're 20 to 32, I'm going to keep them kind of in that same range and same excitement level personally. Because it's only a matter of a couple different picks and just the margins are so thin, this high in the draft, Casey Conception on Bradley talked to me. You know, I've been looking at some comps here, Conception should be be looking at like an Antonio Brown Stefan Diggs comp. Oh, oh, man. Yes. Hey, look, people call me biased. So it's glad we can hear from other people. Look, it's not not, I don't want us to get like get worried about like the final stats, like that's like Antonio Brown was definitely like part of it was big Ben, just like

chucking it up 50 times a game and looking for him down field. But Conception and Diggs have the separation speed like that's like Antonio Brown able to get that separation. And that's what we're hopefully going to see here in the combine is just that speed and separation on on full display. And that's what we want. And that's what can happen if you get a landing spot that is the absolute like smash for a pocket passer who gets lots of volume. You wonder if like Minnesota is probably not moving off of Jordan Addison, but maybe they do. And I have a theory on that with Jordan Addison. You want to hear it? You go for it. But Jordan Addison, the the picks draft capital that Minnesota Vikings have, they have two third round picks, they have a second round pick. Some malleable formation of Jordan Addison and a pick swap for Mac Jones. You get Mac Jones into Minnesota and then you would offshoot and solve a problem of they

need some draft capital that's respectable for Mac Jones. The Vikings are deep in it. And then you would have the wide receiver problem. How do you solve a problem? Get a wide receiver who teams don't want to marry Jordan Addison. They want to date him. They want to have him for a couple of years now. The off field issues have become too much. The Vikings don't want to marry Jordan Addison. If they know that's the case, then why not make a trade and a move right there? So that one is one that's why like why I'm thinking you get a pocket passer Mac Jones or a Kirk Cousins, a big volume passing offense, Kevin O'Connor loves to pass the ball. You get a concepcion. The volume is there, the separation is there, complemented with Justin Jefferson. Like you think about Antonio Brown plus who was in Pittsburgh at that time too? Like you had a late Heinz word there, yeah? I'm pretty sure that that was Heinz word.

Antonio Holmes, I'm pretty sure that that's they like overlapped late, like early late career. But that's the type of thing that you have multiple strong wide receivers in that spot. You'll have this fact check me later. I'm sure the comments people come after me, whatever. Well, sometimes it does blend together, the arrows and what players you associate and think they were do well at the same time and it doesn't always work like that. I was recalling Cincinnati Bengals receivers and there's TJ Hushmanzada who's not overlapping with AJ Green. It was Chattano Chosinco. But then along the discussion that I have with somebody, it was like damn, they've really had going back about 30 years, just quality wide receiver play as far as fantasy football relates. Now as far as fantasy football relates, Ty Simpson, Bradley, a lot of people have it. Have them as EQV2, Daniel Jeremiah has him at 40 overall in this big board, a huge gap

between Fernando Mendoza, Ty Simpson, Trinidad Chamblis is off the board. And this huge gap though can create a vacuum of kind of like fab bidding wars in fantasy football on a weekly waivers. Oh no, I got a bit of dollar. Somebody's going to bid three, a bit seven. Well, no, I got to do, I can't do 10, I got to do 11 and then all of a sudden you're blowing a hundred bucks because you just want the player on your team, on your squad. It'll be interesting to see the elevator up that NFL teams do in chasing somebody like a Ty Simpson. If they see the value in that, the Rams are a prime team who with their cap space, I think it's roughly 40 to 44 million dollars that the Rams have, they have a good, healthy amount. It's kind of why I mentioned Mondale Robinson as being a good signy. If they are afforded with pick 13 and 29, one mixture there somewhere of coming together for Ty Simpson, you have the opportunity where you can go out and spend elsewhere and

come away with a Ty Simpson. I think he needs to be a developmental quarterback in the best place to have a clipboard would be somebody like a Sean McVey offense. What do you take year one for Ty Simpson in this rank of 40 here? There is going to be a team that drafts a quarterback in the first round that is not supposed to. That's my take here. We saw it happen with the New York Giants this past year. It worked out in, they got Jackson Dart, but it was not good process. They traded back up into the first round to go get Dart after they got their defensive lineman at the beginning of the draft. You're going to have teams, you're going to have a couple teams, I'm thinking the Cleveland Browns who are already making it very well known that they are not satisfied with the

quarterbacks on their roster. Drew Berry came out and said, yes, Shadur Sanders, Andishan Watson will be in a competition with maybe someone else. I doubt that they spend more money in free agency. They're going to try to attack the draft again, but that's why the Browns are going to stay the Browns because they do stupid things like that. They just don't eat. They don't eat the loss this year and then try to move on. They waste precious draft capital on doing something like this and that's, I don't know if it's Ty Simpson or if there's going to be another quarterback that gains a lot of steam, but trading back into the first round or using one of their later first round picks because the Browns have two from the Jaguars trade. Well, they could really just be gaining some Cleveland steam here and the Browns are minus six million in cap space. Then on Tankathon, of course, the rankings as you alluded to, pick six overall, the Browns

and then pick 24 as you mentioned with the Jaguars and the Browns also have an early round to pick. Yeah. So they may even go three first round picks like they could trade up from the back end or the top of the second and go after they'll get two premium pieces and then try to get a Ty Simpson and mistakes will be made. Bradley, tell us, quick bang bang, I'm just going to let you have the floor, Jadarian price, Malachi fields. Oh, give me all the Jadarian price. This ranking by Daniel Jeremiah and 43rd overall, I mean, I was very high, everyone knew that I was very high in Jadarian price before this. So I just felt validated, but I know there's a lot of people who are like, oh, I was in on price and I wonder, depending upon landing spot, because he's still projected to be a

day to pick, like solidly day to pick. But Daniel Jeremiah has speculated and put a tweet out saying maybe late round one. I know. They're not going to do that. Like it's not. I know. I know. Like a man can dream, a man can dream, but that's why I was using a Basial Tutin comp, not like, not for Tutin's flaws, but that like he Tutin probably should have been a late day to pick that fell a little bit. Jadarian price is better, but I wouldn't be surprised if in year one price is not as involved, like Blake Corm, for instance, like year one, we're going to have to wait. A little bit for him to be a fantasy relevant, but Tutin is now it's setting up for Travis ETN to possibly move to the chiefs, for instance, and Tutin becoming the RB one there. It very quickly. So I think Jadarian price, you're probably waiting just a little bit for price, but he's

going to be real good. He's going to be real good. A critique I've heard on price, which really sticks and I think is good. He runs like he's a returner, which he has that returner ability. So there's like a raw refinement you want on price is better gap recognition and lane positioning, how he is in relation to how to play unfolds. And then of course, that pass catching knock where price has to go and meet that, and those are all valid criticisms. And I think just questions that we have that are fair until they're proven on the field. I think it's going to be wheels up and then we're talking about jamming in a he's another receiver. We talked about anywhere from pick 20 to pick 40, it's going to be glorious for these wide receivers that are beyond the top three, take 10 lemon and Tyson. Yeah. I mean, we've talked about fields ad nauseam. You know that I'm a big proponent of of malgai fields.

Chase Claypool comp is one that I'm just being consistent with another comp. And I was, even before the Chase Claypool comp, I had written up a blurb for our rookie profiles. I'll give a little behind the scenes. My official comp is Devante Parker. Not like oh, bust Devante Parker, but like big play down the field, big body type of guy. And you just need the right landing spot. So I think there is, there is landing spot dependency from malgai fields. And man, Devante Parker, it's funny. Some of the misses really are players. Why we keep coming back to this game that we love, the Brian Edwards out there. There's so many players a long way. What could have been that what could have been, but then of course, there's the hits like the Puka Nuku was. It's like a drug that you just like all man, you get hit with such a high when it works out. In fact, check myself coach Heinz Ward and Antonio Brown to overlap for a couple years.

20 years. All you need. All you need. Antonio Williams speaking of all we need. I think Antonio Williams needs better quarterback play, better offensive setup. The offense was offensive at Clemson. I'm a Davos Weenie Hader. So Antonio Williams, he's high here. We have not seen him up at 46 for Daniel Jeremiah on the big board. Very impressive. And you love what you see on tape. It's just the cumulative stats just weren't there last year. And you wonder if that's a product of the environment. This may have to impact how we decide top 10 rankings in the wide receiver class. Antonio Williams may be encroaching in that top 10 ranking because here he is. Somebody like Daniel Jeremiah, I've got to open my eyes and watch, listen. And maybe we'll get some more insight at the NFL combine. Yeah, this is a player who over the last couple of years like year one at Clemson 71, PFF receiving grade, second year at Clemson 75, 2024, 2024, 2025, almost an 80 PFF receiving

rate. So he was actually, he was getting better throughout his four year career at Clemson. His yards per out run improved from 2024 to 2025. And you know, his drops, he fixed the drops, he was at 10% drops in 24, 1.8% in 2025. He missed a couple games in 2025. So the counting stats you mentioned were off. Things just weren't right at Clemson, et cetera. But this could be, Antonio Williams could be a diamond in the rough. And then you're ending up maybe round three, working draft capital, where if you have some volume, yep. And it can also be a supporting role player who grows and it's not necessarily in year one. We talked about the fine wine with the tight ends with receivers. There's a lot of initial pressure to make a mark instantly, sometimes it just takes a little bit of time. And hey, that's what taxi squads are for.

And we round out the end of this top 50, a lot of fun discussing this with you, Bradley. And it makes sure everybody give a like and a subscribe. Follow this channel. If you're watching this, follow the channel because we're on here every week. And of course, chef and Maddie's content is out there first of 15. It's all good content. Come back and see us. I get the comps. I see a little bit of a Hollywood brown. And I was looking at the body frame. And then I love doing the searching, the player's body height and weight because they end up being similar at least now a few pounds difference. But I see that track and I see a little bit of a Hollywood brown arch type for the umberks. And then Zach Rive Branch, another diminutive wide receiver, had over 80 receptions at Georgia, but my problem with him is it's the low eight out accusations that somebody like Luther Burton has gotten in the past. We don't nearly hear that enough from a Zach Rive branch.

But beauty is two things can be true Zach Rive branch is going to shine at the combine. His stock is going to raise and you're going to see him on a list like this that Daniel Jeremiah has. And over on the other end, we can benefit and profit by fading him and it creates more room for players that meet. We may want where other people will be distracted by somebody like a Zach Rive branch. Yeah, I'll bring it back to the young Berks and close it out there. I don't have a lot of optimism. It was like a 65 pf receiving rate for Berks in 2025 like yikes, 86 targets, 58 receptions, 59188 got concerns like he's going to be a late third early fourth guy. In terms of like draft capital, I just don't see the translation, yeah, like he just feels

like one of those man players, I'm not overly impressed. I didn't see it accumulate over the course of his collegiate career. Maybe he puts up some elite trait at the combine and that gives us a little bit more hope. That's what these types of guys need to do to be able to stand out and make their mark and really catch the eye of a team. But you have a couple very sharp teams like the Jaguars for instance that are just foregoing the combine. They're not even entertaining the all of this like all the pageantry that goes into it because they're analytics maxing. That's all they're doing. Correct. So they don't want to be distracted by muscle throws like Anthony Richardson hitting the ceiling of the dome. You know, like and you see Dion branch, that would just be the optimal run out in that Daniel Jeremiah alluded to Super Bowl MVP, like 99% tile outcome.

Yes, exactly. It's Bradley has been a lot of fun. We've got a great talent covered here in the top 50 plenty of skill position players. One note in impression before we take it out is for such a bad rookie draft class. There was a lot of players in here and a lot of content to discuss and I think it's going to change even more. We're going to get a little bit more fever after the NFL combine. So it's been Bradley and coach. We will see you next week. I'm a pod filer to you.
