00:00All right, Carolina Panthers wide receiver.

00:02His ADP, George, is 55.

00:07We're not seeing a ton of rookie love at wide receiver in fantasy this year.

00:12This kid was out of his mind in the first few games of the college football season last year.

00:16Ended up pretty good, but a lot of numbers in bunches,

00:20and I think that's what the Panthers are hoping for as well.

00:24Seems like there's some potential value here.

00:26What do you make of his ADP going into the 2025 season?

00:32I think I am very cautious with rookie wide receivers anyway,

00:36just after I was burned last year with Marvin Harrison,

00:38because I did take him to a league or two, and that didn't work out the way I wanted.

00:41And then it comes down to what do you believe as far as Bryce Young is concerned?

00:46He was good at the end of the last third of last year.

00:50He was good.

00:50Looked like he might be that guy.

00:52If you believe it, I'm okay.

00:53Then Ted could be that number one wide receiver.

00:55I'm a Cowboy fan.

00:56I did want the Cowboys to draft, Ted.

00:58I was disappointed when Carolina grabbed him.

00:59So I certainly think the talent is there.

01:02I just don't know about the team.

01:03They should be a run-first team.

01:05Not that they have great running backs, but Hubbard, you know,

01:07they signed Dowdled at the end, is there.

01:09There's no one really else there besides Ted, right?

01:12You got the veteran in Adam Thielen.

01:14Nobody really had a tight end unless you think Santa's going to be something.

01:17So this team's a major work in progress, all right?

01:20I don't think it's going to be a playoff team or anything like that.

01:22It could be a 500 team, which I don't think they can reach.

01:25So they should be trailing in a lot of games.

01:27But he's going to have to throw the football.

01:28I think there's an opportunity there, Craig.

01:30I just think when it comes time that he's on the board here in round six,

01:35that I'm going to say, you know what?

01:36There's this veteran here.

01:38And I know what he's going to do here.

01:40And I don't really need upside.

01:41I just need consistency.

01:42And I'm probably going to – me personally, I'm going to go that direction.

01:45Maybe when you're drafting, you want to take the upside guy,

01:49the guy who could be a league winner because he could go up for 95 catches,

01:5210 touchdowns, and 1,200 yards.

01:54And you want that guy.

01:54And I don't blame you for doing it.

01:56I just know for me personally, I'm more of a conservative drafter,

01:59and I'm probably going to go for the vet that's also going to be there.

02:03All right.

02:03Let's check in on the Tier 6 ADP.

02:05Well said by George.

02:07All right.

02:07So take some shots here is basically the idea.

02:10Chris Godwin back again with Tampa Bay, ADP in the 60s.

02:15Same with George Pickens of the Dallas Cowboys this year.

02:18Jalen Waddell, I mean, fair to say.

02:20Jalen Waddell's career been a little bit of a disappointment.

02:22George had a lot of high hopes for him.

02:24It's been a little up and down.

02:26And then there's Travis Hunter of the Jaguars,

02:28very hot name going into draft season.

02:31Calvin Ridley of the Titans.

02:32And, you know, I got to tell you, no one really thought we'd say this name.

02:36Jerry Judy with the Cleveland Browns,

02:38who is one player, George, who actually went to Cleveland and succeeded.

02:42You know, it's usually it's like guy goes to Cleveland.

02:45It's like, all right, that's the end of his career.

02:47But Judy definitely took a little bit of a next step.

02:50People thought he was kind of done in Denver.

02:52Turned out to be the opposite in Cleveland.

02:55It did.

02:56I'm not drafting him.

02:57Cleveland's a mess of quarterback.

02:59Flacco, Pickens, Sanders.

03:03No, no.

03:03Just say no, boys and girls.

03:06Just say no to Cleveland.

03:07Once again, when I say something like that, by the way,

03:09there comes a time in every draft where everybody has value.

03:12If he falls to a double-digit round, hey, we'll chat.

03:15But here his ADP is 72, which in a 12-team means you're at the end of round six.

03:20So I'm not going to do it.

03:21Not touching Ridley either.

03:23I think Tennessee might be one of the worst teams in football.

03:25So, no, I'll pass.

03:27They are going to be trailing, but I don't know what Cam Ward's going to do.

03:30Travis Hunter, I don't know how they're going to use this guy,

03:33see if Jacksonville could screw that up.

03:34This guy's got a terrific talent.

03:37I think they just use him on one side of the ball for the most part here,

03:40not make him a dual player.

03:41So, like Deion Sanders, you want to use him at wide receiver, fine.

03:44He's wide receiver for 90% of the game.

03:47Maybe he plays cornerback, you know, in the fourth quarter,

03:51a two-minute drill, whatever it might be, but not full-time.

03:53You can't be great at both doing that here.

03:55What you said about Jalen Waddell is true.

03:57Disappointment.

03:57If I don't trust Hill, I don't trust Waddell, so not doing that.

04:00George Pickens saw your wild card here.

04:03All right, he's not going to see double coverage anymore.

04:05He's not the guy.

04:06He's at C.D. Lamb here.

04:07So, we're going to like Pickens.

04:08Dallas should be trailing.

04:09Can him and Dak get on the same page here?

04:11And he's in a contract here.

04:13He wants those big bucks.

04:15He wants that $35 million contract.

04:17Got to put up numbers this year.

04:18Godwin should be fine, if not more than fine,

04:21assuming he can come back from that injury,

04:24which was pretty gross last year.

04:25I think that game versus Atlanta, I want to say.

04:27That was a pretty gross injury.

04:28Assuming he comes back, he was having a fantastic season last year.

04:32So, I'm not forgetting about Chris Godwin either.
