00:00Let's flip it around now. Let's talk about a wide receiver that maybe people could look

00:08for that can give them some value should they maybe go running back heavy early on.

00:12Well, Matt, if I told you you could have a wide receiver that at four straight years

00:15of a thousand yards receiving, would you be interested in that guy who was still in his

00:19prime?

00:20I would.

00:22Would you figure he would be a wide receiver or two or maybe even a low end wide receiver

00:26one?

00:27It should be.

00:28All right.

00:29Well, this guy is being drafted as wide receiver 32 right now, and his name is Terry McLaurin.

00:35And Terry McLaurin has played with some awful quarterbacks in his career.

00:38And I mean, awful, OK?

00:40He's played with almost a dozen of them over his tenure in the NFL.

00:45And that is hard for a wide receiver to find their rapport with a quarterback, the timing,

00:50all those issues that come into play.

00:51They're really important between quarterback and wide receiver.

00:55It's got a new one now.

00:56And this new one is by far the most talented one he's ever had to play with.

00:59And now he's got Jaden Daniels.

01:01And sure, there's a rookie learning curve and we can talk about that.

01:04But Jaden Daniels has the upside to make Terry McLaurin an absolute bonafide superstar.

01:09And yet here we are where his his ADP is so low, his consistency is so good.

01:14And the problem is, well, people don't get excited about Terry McLaurin.

01:16Why?

01:17Because, well, you know, five touchdowns every year.

01:19Do we really think he can improve that number to eight or nine or even 10 potentially this

01:23year?

01:24No one's challenging him for that number one job.

01:26John Dodson is not taking over as number one wide receiver for the commanders.

01:29It's Terry McLaurin and everybody else.

01:32And now you got Jaden Daniels and I can't tell you what a value.

01:34So the inverse is true here.

01:36If you are starting, let's say, with a Brees Hall or a B.

01:39John Robinson, or you go early hero running back somewhere else, you try to make up ground

01:44at wide receiver.

01:45Terry McLaurin is one of those guys.

01:47He's being drafted as a three.

01:48He's going to play at minimum as a two, and he's got the upside to finish as a high end

01:53to maybe even scratch a surface and everything breaks right.

01:56I don't want to put too much into it right away and project too heartily for Jaden Daniels.

02:01But I will say this, it's such an extreme value right now in Terry McLaurin.

02:04I have every share you could possibly imagine and every draft and every mock that I've done

02:08so far.

02:09And I can't tell you how much of a value this guy can be.

02:13And he's in this prime and he's consistent already.

02:15The floor is so good that even if he just returns his floor, it's a good investment.

02:19I think the ceiling is much higher in 2024.
