Bucky Irving to outplay his draft cost (more of a third or fourth rounder)
“I thought he was a pretty solid option in the latter part of the second round of twenty twenty five drafts. I know a lot of people think he's more of a third or fourth rounder, and the projection seem to agree”
Drake Maye to record 700 rushing yards
“I think if he makes sixteen starts or seventeen, he is going to go for seven hundred rushing yards. And I feel pretty confident about that.”
Rachaad White to be 2nd on the depth chart
“Rashad was in a pure backup rowl. I don't think there's any chance the pendulum swings back towards Rashad White barring injury”
Drake Maye to finish top 9 at his position, by fantasy points
“So the projections have Drake May QB twenty in fantasy scoring. That's the scary part. I have May at QB nine”
Bucky Irving to be 1st on the depth chart
“Bucky Irving's not going to lose his job back to Rashad White... I don't think there's any chance the pendulum swings back towards Rashad White barring injury”
Chase Brown to be 1st on the depth chart
“But I do think Chase Brown is still pretty safely going to be the lead back in one of the best offenses in the league.”
Chase Brown to finish top 11 at his position, by fantasy points
“so I've Chased Brown at RB eleven in my rankings”
Brock Bowers to finish top 1 at his position, by fantasy points
“So yes, I do think Bowers is a clear tier above anyone else at tight end.”
Drake London to outplay his draft cost (ECR nineteen)
“I think London is absolutely worthy of being drafted close to the turn... I'm higher on him than ECR”
DJ Moore to fall short of his draft cost (ECR thirty nine)
“It's more of a gentle fade for me... I'm probably not going to have a lot of DJ Moore in twenty twenty five.”
Rashee Rice to fall short of his draft cost (an ECR of forty three)
“with Rashie Rice at an ECR of forty three and Xavier Worthy at fifty four, at least one of those guys has to be a colossal disappointment at their current cost”
Ashton Jeanty to outplay his draft cost (ECR ten)
“I don't need to wait until the back end of the first round of Draft ash and jenty just because he hasn't compiled any sort of NFL resume yet.”
Garrett Wilson to outplay his draft cost (ECR thirty six)
“I'm ahead of ECR on him for sure, And like I might even be able to move Garrett Wilson a little higher”
Brock Bowers to outplay his draft cost (ECR fifteen)
“And I do think brock Bauer should go at the turn in twelve team drafts.”
Chuba Hubbard to outplay his draft cost (more towards the late fourth)
“because I would be perfectly comfortable taking him early in the fourth and he's going more towards the late fourth”
T.J. Hockenson to fall short of his draft cost (a sixth rounder in ECR)
“I just cannot get on board with a sixth round ECR for him.”
Aaron Jones to outplay his draft cost (his end of the fifth round ECR)
“maybe people are a little bored with him, so I think he's going to be a value in drafts”
Tyreek Hill to fall short of his draft cost (a mid third round price)
“I just I want no part of thirty one year old Tyreek Hill coming off a bad year... I don't really want to pay a mid third round price to find out”
Mike Evans to outplay his draft cost (ECR thirty two)
“I do still think Evans is a pretty low risk, high yield investment... So I'm going to keep drafting Mike Evans.”
“I have him at seven overall Welsh... twelfth overall [Bowers]... I think I've got him fifteenth overall [London]... Fits you've got him at twenty six [Evans]... I've got him at thirty thirty four [Wilson]... I'm right where Ericson is forty sixth overall [DJ Moore]... you've got him at fifty [Aaron Jones]... Worthy I have at fifty five... I've gone him at fifty eight overall [Rice]”
Chuba Hubbard to be 1st on the depth chart
“So I'm not worried about Dowell supplanting Chuba Hubbard. I'm not too worried about fourth round draft pick Trevor Etn... supplanting Cuba.”
Christian McCaffrey to fall short of his draft cost (ECR sixteen, a second round pick)
“McCaffrey is not a risk worth taking because when your shark, your emphasis in the first two rounds should be on avoiding the bear traps”
