00:00Let's go to Malik Nabors here for a minute.

00:02You know, we showed his numbers quick.

00:03I want to show those again.

00:04So he had over 1,200 yards last year and seven touchdowns,

00:07109 receptions on 170 parties.

00:10So that 109 in terms of receptions,

00:12that's worthy of where he's being drafted.

00:14George, it's interesting that the other numbers, not so much.

00:17You don't see this that often with a player

00:19that we're basically under the assumption

00:21that those 1,200 yards become 1,400, right?

00:26And those seven touchdowns become like 10

00:28because those numbers right there are not worthy of his ADP

00:32that he's being taken.

00:34Do you feel like that jump is coming?

00:37I think we could see very similar numbers.

00:39Touchdowns are finicky.

00:40Maybe he catches eight, nine, 10.

00:42Maybe he gets seven.

00:42Maybe he gets four.

00:43You know, they're just finicky.

00:44So I don't really worry about the touchdowns.

00:46We know he's going to be,

00:47should be the number one target in the Red Zone, right?

00:49There's not much else there with the Giants.

00:51I mean, Wondale Robertson or Darius Slate is your number two.

00:54Theo Johnson's your tight end.

00:55So it really should be, as far as the passing game,

00:58Malik Nabors, all over the place.

01:00So I'm not all that worried about him.

01:02I think he's a mess.

01:03I think he put him with a really good quarterback.

01:05He would have dynamic numbers.

01:06So I think he is that receiver.

01:07He's an alpha.

01:09I do worry about, okay, it's Russell Wilson.

01:11Then what's going to happen once they think,

01:13if you look at the Giants' schedule,

01:15I mean, hey, we got the gambling show here.

01:17This is a major under for me.

01:19The Giants play pretty much the who's who of the NFL here.

01:22Washington, Dallas, Kansas City, Chargers, they do get New Orleans,

01:27Philadelphia, Denver, Philadelphia, San Fran, Chicago, Green Bay, Detroit.

01:31Good luck to you.

01:32Good luck to the Giants here.

01:34They're not going to be a very good team this year as far as record is concerned.

01:37When is that switch to dart happening, Craig?

01:40You know, October 1, Halloween, it's going to happen.

01:44All first-round picks play.

01:46And the Giants record is going to be bad,

01:47so they're going to have to throw them in there.

01:48I think that's what brings these numbers down.

01:51That's why I think those numbers that we show there are going to be about right.

01:55They're going to be about right here.

01:56I love the player here, just don't love the situation this year.

02:00Have the Giants named a starter, or we're going to learn that in the preseason?

02:03I guess I'm still baseball mode here.

02:05Did they say Winston or Wilson?

02:07I'm assuming it's going to be Russell Wilson.

02:09Okay.

02:10It's not like last year.

02:11They're going to defer to the veteran on Russell Wilson,

02:13the probable future Hall of Famer.

02:16But eventually it's going to be dark.

02:18Yeah.

02:19I'm not embarrassed to ask those questions during baseball season in July.

02:22It just can't be.

02:24All right.

02:25Real quick, let's hit Amon Ross St. Brown.

02:28As I mentioned, he's never the sexiest fantasy pick,

02:30but we've seen these guys through the years, George.

02:32Like, I mean, I don't know.

02:33It feels like a little Marvin Harrison-ish.

02:36You know, it's like Harrison may be after like year four or year five

02:40where you know these numbers are just simply going to be there,

02:43but he's going to roll off very few 70-yard touchdowns

02:46if you're playing in bonus points, leagues like that.

02:48But I got no problem whatsoever having Amon Ross St. Brown as my number one.

02:53I know he's been nicked up a couple different times,

02:55and you get scared he's going to miss a lot of time,

02:57but he generally plays.

02:59I, you know, it's funny.

03:00You are right about that.

03:02That last little line you said,

03:03that he always is always questionable with this, that,

03:05but he's there and he puts up numbers there.

03:07I have no problem with St. Brown.

03:09In fact, in some ways, I even want St. Brown, right?

03:11Because that means I picked up the end of the first round, right?

03:14As far as ADP, there is 10.

03:16So in a 10-team league, you're on the turn.

03:1712-team league, you're pretty close there.

03:19It means I'll get Amon St. Brown and a top running back in the second round,

03:23right?

03:23Maybe I get Derrick Henry or someone like that,

03:25whoever it might be.

03:26I have no problem with St. Brown.

03:29In some ways, that's how I want to draft.

03:31A very good wide receiver.

03:32Yeah, he's not Jamar Chase, but he's really good,

03:35and I also get the running back.

03:36If I'm drafting Jamar Chase, it also means I'm waiting minimum 19 more picks

03:40on the 20th pick, maybe the 24th pick.

03:43Now it's no question of who my top running back is going to be.

03:46So I have no problem with the sun god.

03:47He'll have another big season.
