00:00So with the IU news coming down earlier this week, I wonder if these next two tight ends

00:09we should flip flop, but according to average draft position, here we go.

00:13George Kittle is the next tight end generally taken off the board.

00:17I feel like deja vu that I've said this before, but it feels like Kittle has all of his numbers

00:22over the course of two or three games over the course of the season.

00:25And then you have Kyle Pitts, who's being taken pretty much right after him.

00:30His projected fantasy points are really right around George Kittle.

00:33So I wonder, George, if we should be flip flopping on draft day where these two are

00:37being taken, because I'm going to assume some ADP has been baked into Kittle with Ayuk not

00:42being on the field.

00:43What do you think?

00:45I think that's fair.

00:46I think definitely it's the awesome ADP has been baked into Kittle with Ayuk not being

00:51there.

00:52Now he is there.

00:53I like Kittle.

00:54He's a safe tight end.

00:55You know, you sort of know what you're going to get from him last year, but I'm looking

00:58at the numbers here.

00:59He had, what, seven touchdowns last year, three did come in one game against the Cowboys.

01:05So and they do play Dallas again, so there's that.

01:07Other than that, you know, you look at his yards, he had 91 game, 149 against Cincinnati,

01:12damn, 116 against Jacksonville, back there, here, a nice three-week span there, 78, 149,

01:17116, 89, four-week span.

01:18We really put up all his yardage.

01:19Other than that, he was a little pedestrian over the week 16, that Christmas night game

01:23against Baltimore, where he had a big game there.

01:25Listen, I like Kittle.

01:26Once again, I think he is ranked where he should be, although I would probably put Engram

01:30ahead of him.

01:31All right?

01:32It's not Pits I'm worried.

01:33Pits I would probably, eh, around 8, 9, but I would put Engram certainly ahead of him.

01:37Then only because Engram, he doesn't catch touchdowns, Kittle's sort of the same thing,

01:42but he catches a whole lot of passes, and I don't think that's going to change.

01:44I don't know if he's getting 114 again.

01:45I think that's nuts.

01:46But I think he's going to catch 90 balls, 100 balls, somewhere around there.

01:51The touchdowns, he's scored four in the past two years.

01:53Doesn't seem to be where he's an end zone threat there.

01:55For whatever reason, they don't use him in the end zone.

01:57Yeah.

01:58And, you know, obviously, Engram also has some more competition.

02:00Brian Thomas is now there.

02:02Jacksonville drafted him, too.

02:04Let's close out with Jake Ferguson of the Dallas Cowboys.

02:06Earlier in the week, much earlier in the week, we found out CeeDee Lamb is back.

02:10I don't think that affects Jake Ferguson's ADP, and people love Cowboys tight ends, George.

02:15Someone's going to take him like Schultz and Witten and Ferguson and everybody else.

02:21Bottom line is this.

02:22Lamb won.

02:23Ferguson, too.

02:24That's all Dak has to throw to.

02:26Are you worried about Brandon Cooks, Jalen Tolbert?

02:29Jake Ferguson.

02:30Like him a whole bunch.
