00:00All right, let's get to the next one here, which is also CD lamb, but this time for Drake

00:08London. Now I actually know someone personally who pulled this deal off because they messaged

00:13me, what do you think of this trade? And I said, well, why don't you try to go get somebody

00:15like Drake London instead? And then he went and got Drake London. I said, wow, that's,

00:21that's good for you. I think they're in a good spot here. So now the problem with Drake

00:24London is he does have a buy still coming up. So he plays Denver this week. Then he

00:29has the buy, but after that, the chargers Vikings, but the playoff schedule Raiders,

00:33giants, Washington commanders. So if I am a team that knows it's in the playoffs and

00:38already kind of locked that up, let's say I'm a seven or even eight win team right now.

00:44And I somehow I'd see the lamb and still got there. This is where I would make this deal

00:48for Drake London because I think the playoff schedule was really good for Drake London.

00:51I'll take my shots there over Cooper Russian, whatever else deteriorates in Dallas. Don't

00:57forget to losing begets losing, just like winning begets winning. Yep. And if things

01:01really disintegrate in that Dallas Cowboy locker room, which where it kind of seems

01:05it's going, this could get ugly no matter how good the schedule looks on paper. So Drake

01:11London for me over CD lamb, rest of season. I think that's another deal I want to be on.

01:15I don't think this one is as close as Tyreek Hill one, honestly, which is kind of surprising,

01:20but where do you stand? Do you want Drake London or CD land?

01:22No, I agree with you wholeheartedly. He was considering just the team, the offensive ecosystem,

01:26something you write about in the black book. It just all points to Drake London for me,

01:31even outside of the excuses or the reasons that I gave. Look at that. I went to the word

01:35excuses and not reasons that tells you a lot of whoever it was just earlier, Tyreek Hill,

01:43short term memory loss aside. Yeah. It'll be Drake London here. This next one though,

01:46I find really interesting because it involves a name that was traded and that automatically

01:50increases that player's value, but it's just hasn't seemed to stick, but I'll let you take

01:55it from here. No, it really hasn't. I think everyone was excited when Amari Cooper got

02:01acquired by the Buffalo Bills. I know I was, and then it just hasn't happened and maybe

02:05health obviously may be the biggest reason, but here we are and we're still dealing with

02:11the health and now we're looking ahead to for Amari Cooper and we're seeing potentially

02:17here a game against Kansas City Chiefs where he is limited. He's going to be on the field,

02:22but maybe limited and he's going to buy in week 12. After that, he comes back, he plays

02:25San Francisco, but then some better matchups here. Theoretically you get the Rams in here,

02:31the playoff schedules, Detroit, that's a tough one. And then new England and then the jets.

02:36But on the other side, we have a running back. So Rico Dowdle might be more useful than people

02:40realize because the limitations of Cooper rush are just that. And we've already heard

02:45a lot of people talk this week about, well, look, Rico's the number one guy. We're going

02:48the ball to Rico Dowdle. And I think they recognize you have to limit Cooper rush as

02:53much as you possibly can in terms of overexposure. So I would rather have the running back here,

02:58especially with the way running backs get hurt. I can never have enough running backs.

03:02Amari Cooper is the better player, the better theoretical asset. But I think I want the

03:06guaranteed touches of the young running back and Rico Dowdle, despite the deficiencies.

03:10And you did mention the schedule pretty good. There is some potential here for Rico Dowdle.

03:14So what side do you want to be on here, Cooper or Rico Dowdle?

03:18I'm going to lean ecosystem over systems. So I would lean Amari Cooper just based off on the

03:24fact I think the leaves are prettier in that regard. All right. With the time that we have

03:29left, I'm glad that we saved this one for last year. Chase Brown, George Pickens. Man, oh man,

03:33Joe, take it away. Look, this is eye of the beholder. If you need running back,

03:38it's a good deal. If you need wide receiver, it's a good deal. This is a fair trade, in my opinion.

03:41Pickens has been terrific. And Chase Brown has RB1 potential rest of season now that his path

03:46is clear. So the fact that he's catching the ball in the backfield, that's also very positive too.

03:51So I love Pickens. I think in a vacuum, I'd rather have Pickens. But in terms of need,

03:55this one makes sense to me.
