00:00All right, so Miami Dolphins, they paid to, Devon Aiching has been a polarizing figure

00:09when it comes to should you or should you not.

00:11You know what you're getting with Tyreek Hill, a healthy Jalen Waddell, and then Jonu Smith

00:15lining up at the tight end position.

00:17Let's have this conversation, Joe.

00:19Yeah, a lot to unpack here.

00:21Jalen Wright, by the way, also in this conversation because this is a guy that rushed 10 times

00:28for 55 yards and a touchdown yesterday, and a lot of people like him as a running back

00:32as well.

00:33So the one thing we know about the Dolphins is it's all hands on deck, right?

00:36They're going to run fast.

00:38They're going to run efficient.

00:41They're going to put on points.

00:42They're going to be fantastic.

00:44And the only question is what does hold them back?

00:47And typically the what is health.

00:49So I think when you're looking at this current team is the health of Tuatunga Vailoa, can

00:54he stay healthy at a great beginning to the season, kind of faded down the stretch.

01:00Devon Achan, man, what a lottery ticket this guy is.

01:03I think if you're playing in those high stakes leagues, Devon Achan is worth the risk because

01:08the upside is you're crushing life and he is unbelievable.

01:12And I put on some muscle in the offseason.

01:15We'll see if that helps or hurts him.

01:17He is explosive.

01:20He is, he's a guy that averaged over seven yards per carry last year.

01:24Just let that sink in for a moment, right?

01:26We've looked at like four, four and a half, wow, seven, seven.

01:31The problem is, can he stay on the field?

01:34How many games is he going to miss?

01:36Not how many games is he going to play?

01:38And where I find him currently going as the RB 10 overall, it's really rich for my blood.

01:45I look at the Nico Collins and Jalen Waddles typically being on the board in that same

01:50spot.

01:51And I tend to pivot there to the wide receivers because I feel like on a weekly basis, they're

01:54probably going to be there more frequently.

01:57Now are those guys going to have the kind of games that Achan has when he's healthy?

02:01Maybe not.

02:02Maybe they're not going to have those ridiculous 180 and three score kind of games.

02:06And that's what Achan can give you.

02:08People worry about the frame, but the frame is not all that different than Jameer Gibbs.

02:12And yet none of us seem to really care too much about that.

02:14So I don't really get it.

02:15I guess that's where I sort of lose it a little bit there.

02:20I also struggle because if you wait a little bit longer in the next round, you can probably

02:24pick up a boring guy like Rashad White, who's very steady.

02:28And I tend to be somebody that goes for the wide receivers and then give me the boring

02:31steady Rashad Whites, give me Jameer White, give me Romandre Stephens and give me those

02:36good boring running backs that they're going to be the guys that are going to carry the

02:40rock 20 times and fall in the end zone.

02:42I'm good with that.

02:43Maybe they're not going to be explosive and win me the week, but I get it.

02:45I get the appeal with Devon Achan.

02:47I guess the question I'll throw back to you, Matt, is are you somebody in your leagues,

02:51if you're awake for the draft, that is, that are willing to go ahead and draft a guy as

02:56risky with the upside being so clear and the downside being so stark?
