The landscape of fantasy football gets reshaped each year by rookie quarterbacks and tight ends who defy expectations and deliver immediate impact. In this comprehensive breakdown, we examine the most promising first-year signal-callers and pass-catchers poised to make fantasy noise in 2024.

Cam Ward stands out among rookie quarterbacks after setting an NCAA record with 158 career touchdown passes across five collegiate seasons. His landing spot in Tennessee alongside Calvin Ridley creates fascinating upside similar to what we saw with Jayden Daniels last year. Meanwhile, Jaxson Dart brings Ole Miss records (breaking marks set by Eli Manning) to a Giants quarterback room that feels ripe for a mid-season takeover.

The most compelling storyline might be at tight end, where rookies have finished as the overall TE1 in back-to-back seasons (Sam LaPorta followed by Brock Bowers). Could Tyler Warren make it three straight? The Penn State product combines unicorn-like receiving skills (104 catches last season) with Taysom Hill-style rushing ability that could make him this year's breakout rookie. Mason Taylor brings Hall of Fame bloodlines (son of Jason Taylor) to the Jets, while the Bears invested the 10th overall pick in Colston Loveland despite already having Cole Kmet.

We don't just analyze their college production – we dive into landing spots, depth chart competitions, potential usage, and realistic fantasy expectations for year one. Whether you're considering a late-round quarterback flier in superflex leagues or hunting for the next rookie tight end sensation, this episode provides actionable intelligence for your draft day strategy.

Check out our previous rookie running back and wide receiver breakdowns, and stay tuned for upcoming episodes featuring mock drafts and players in new places as we continue preparing you for fantasy football draft season!

Speaker 1:

Rookies. We've got rookie quarterbacks and rookie tight ends in today's episode. Guys, If you like what we're throwing out there, make sure you subscribe, like, share it to everybody and let's hit it hard. Let's go, All right, all right, all right, Welcome to the show. This is the Frankly Fantasy Football Podcast. We are your hosts, Frankie and Johnny. How you doing, Frankie? You ready to wrap up our rookie review with quarterbacks and tight ends? Baby?

Speaker 2:

Ready to wrap it up, man? It has just been an absolute blast giving overviews on the running backs receivers, giving you guys some insights, telling you about what's happening where they're at, what's going on with them. Quarterbacks are going to be fun too.

Speaker 1:

Man Got a lot of cool shit, it is going to be fun. Good point. Please don't forget, go back. Watch our videos on rookie review for running backs. We also have another video for receivers. They were great guys. But right now let's get into quarterbacks and tight ends. We're going to start with quarterbacks first. Number one right off the board pick 101, baby in the NFL draft Cam Ward, out of Miami, goes to the Tennessee Titans ADP of 146. He's the quarterback 22 right now in ADP. Looking at Cam's profile, we got 6'2", 219 pounds, 4'8", 40. Frankie, talk to us about Cam Ward, the 101.

Speaker 2:

John. I mean this was a really interesting draft as a whole. When you look at the quarterbacks, where would Cam Ward everybody was talking about? Where would Cam Ward? Where would Shador Jackson Dart actually end up? In comparison to the last year where it was? I mean, it just felt like quarterbacks hit all across the board Between Caleb Williams, jaden Daniels, bo Nix, right JJ McCarthy looked great until he went down, and so on. It's Drake May, right Michael Penix. We even got to see him. So I mean this was a really fascinating. But man, oh man, do I think that the Titans get themselves their guy? What do I mean by this? Tune in, guys. This is really freaking nuts.

Speaker 2:

Cam Ward last year 4,300 plus passing yards, 39 touchdowns, seven interceptions, 204 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. That is excellent. Okay, then stay with me for a second. Guys, just hear this shit out. When, looking at Cam Ward, who is he and why is he important to you? Well, who is he and why is he important to you? Well, in 2020, that's how far back we got to go. He played at Incarnate Word. So where is that? Well, that's where Jerry Rice does that sound familiar? That's where he actually won the Jerry Rice Award, which is the top freshman award, which led to FCS with 24 passing touchdowns and he only had four interceptions. That particular year, 2021 Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Year led the FCS with 47 passing touchdowns, he had 10 interceptions and threw for 4,600 yards.

Speaker 2:

What does he do? Transfers in 2022 to Washington State, where he won honorable mention all-pack 12, over 3,000 yards, passing, 23 touchdowns, 9 interceptions, 58. Washington State one-team captain honorable mention all-pack 12, 3,700 yards, passing, 25 touchdowns, 7 interceptions. And then boom 2024 lights the world on fire at the U First-team All-American ACC Player of the Year. Acc Off acc player of the year. Acc offensive player of the year won the davy o'brien award, which, for those who don't know, best nation's best quarterback, fourth in heisman voting, led fbs and set a miami school record of 39 passing touchdowns.

Speaker 2:

Guys, guys, as I mentioned, a 4,300 yard, seven interceptions, so on and so forth. Here's the other thing to know he set the NCAA record with 158 passing touchdowns in his career. Guys, why do I say this? Cam Ward is very similar to why Johnny and I were so high on Jaden Daniels. This guy isn't a two, three-year guy that comes in and leaves for the NFL. He is a tried and true cat at some of the biggest schools in the country. When you look at Miami and when you look at Washington State, and when you see the progression I mean when you talk about in 2024, interceptions 2021, 10, 2022, 9, 2023, 7, and then this past year, 7. Guys, he had never threw over 10 interceptions in his entire college career. This dude is as accurate as it gets. Okay, cool, love that.

Speaker 2:

Let's now go to where he's at the Titans. Guys, this is not a terrible situation. Originally, people were like this sucks, titans, where you go to die right now, there's nothing there I'm going to call bullshit. Here's why they have Calvin Ridley. Calvin Ridley is going to be a stud this year. Right, he's coming off a thousand yard year, which people are like, wow, he had a thousand yards. Sure, did Check me on it. Then they bring in Tyler Lockett. What a solid pickup for, uh, for the Titans, just to add a floor player to their receiving core. Then they signed undrafted Xavier rest Uh, I'm going to butcher this last name John Rest Repo, who was actually his top receiver at Miami, who, by the way, undrafted, is freaking, balling out and they're thinking he's actually going to be able to play.

Speaker 2:

And what did this dude do with Cam Ward last year? 69 receptions, over 1,100 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns. And, by the way, they still have Tony Pollard and Tajay Spears Guys. The reason that I'm saying what I'm saying is because I am a huge believer in what Cam Ward is doing. Bill Callahan is now the offensive line coach from the Browns who went there last year. Again, it was a dumpster fire between Will Levis and Mason Rudolph. All this set all that to the side. Cam Ward is the guy. So for me, man, I am so excited to see how Cam Ward leads this team, to see what he can do for Calvin Ridley, to see what he can do for Tajay Spears and others on this team. I think that the Titans really got themselves one.

Speaker 1:

Rookie quarterbacks always scare the shit out of me and it's because you do only get a small sample size a lot of times the one year, two year, three years. That's why we loved Jaden Daniels last year.

Speaker 1:

And I love that comparison because, yeah, five solid years in college I mean solid, breaking records in college Absolutely love it, man. I mean he's definitely got you know, a little bit of a rushing floor as well. I mean this guy is not afraid to run the ball. He's not afraid to run inside the five zone there to run in a touchdown. But I love it. I mean I do like the talent he's got around him. It's not excellent, but Calvin Ridley is going to be a stud. This is going to push Calvin Ridley up the board.

Speaker 1:

For me, in my mind, They've got a solid running game with Tony Pollard and Tajay Spears. And don't forget about Chigga Conquo, Great call out. He could be a very sneaky tight end this year with a guy like Cam Ward throwing him the ball. You know, I mean we saw him flash with Will Levis, you know, and it's hard to do that with Will Levis. So I really like, I like the landing spot, I like Cam Ward. Now let's look at it practically, Frankie, I mean, when we're talking about actually drafting the guy. Sure, you know, so we could talk about rookie quarterbacks all day, but this is a fantasy football podcast. What? What can you do for me today. What have you done for me lately? Is this a guy? He's going what? Quarterback 22? So he's likely to not be drafted, but in a super flex situation, is this a guy you're willing to take a chance on and have as your super flex?

Speaker 2:

Absolutely In a super flex. Absolutely, guys, this is gold. This dude is gold from a super flex perspective. You're right, john, in a single quarterback league guys in 10-man, 12-man, 14-man leagues. The reality is, you're not taking him. You might take him as a backup, sure, and maybe he pops off and then you trade him and get some value for him. Fine.

Speaker 2:

He's not a guy you're targeting, but in a super flex league, you're damn right, you're going after him. And because there's upside there and I'll be honest, if I'm going after him in a super flex league John Cam Ward I'm also probably going to go for a third quarterback. I just want to make sure I'm shoring that up. So make sure that if that is the strategy that you guys are taking, johnny and I can show you that on a few mock drafts because we like to really push the boundaries, you know what I mean Do some crazy shit, and that's actually how we'll draft in real life. But, to your credit, I absolutely think this is somebody you need to be targeting from a super flex perspective. When you look at Caleb Williams, what he did last year, he put up QB 18, right, 3,500 passing yards, 20 touchdowns, six interceptions why can't that be Cam Ward? And in a two quarterback league, you're happy with that, right, you're really happy with that. And so for me, man, I definitely think he's somebody to target with that.

Speaker 1:

And so for me, man, I definitely think he's somebody to target. Yeah, and you can't say he doesn't have enough talent around him. Jaden Daniels didn't have a ton of talent around him. Terry McLaurin, he, really he, he had Terry McLaurin. I mean that was really the big target. So right, so you've got Calvin Ridley. I mean, I think that could be enough. We've seen Calvin Ridley be an absolute stud in Atlanta. Yeah, exactly so I, I, I love it, man. Um, who do you compare Kim Ward to?

Speaker 2:

This one's gold Titan fans, you'll love it. Joey Demery, I'm looking at you, okay. So, guys, his comp is Steve McNair, and people might be like what the fuck? What is wrong with you? I'm telling you, go look at the tape.

Speaker 2:

Steve mcnair's rookie year. He put up 11 points per game, on average, okay, and he only played, I believe, four particular games of that at that time frame or around there. But, guys, when you look at um or maybe it was a little bit more than that, but when you look at what his uh cam ward sleeper um projection is, it's actually 18 points a game, which equates to about 292 total fantasy points. Guys, that's more than what Caleb Williams was right. And so if that actually ends up being the projection in a super flex league, you're really happy with that. And so now will he hit that? I don't know. I really don't know. But I can tell you, though the teams, that they're playing, from a strength of schedule perspective, it's not bad. It's really not bad at all. And so, when you factor that in, you factor in a guy who's played for five plus years at a very high level in college. I don't know if that's too far fetched For me. Man, I'm definitely looking at taking him definitely in a super flex league.

Speaker 1:

All right, shout out to the Titans fans. Indeed, I know Misty Moss is always checking that out too, so this one was for you guys. All right, let's get to number two quarterback here. Rookie quarterback Jackson Dart from Ole Miss Drafted round one pick 25, high draft capital to the New York football giants. Adp is 218. He's going as the quarterback 30 right now. Jackson Dart is 6'2", 223, 485-40. Frankie, talk to us about Jackson Dart.

Speaker 2:

Jackson Dart is a stud, people. You're going to know the name Sooner or later. You're going to know the name, guys, last year he had 4,200-plus passing yards, 29 passing touchdowns, six interceptions, and he also had 495 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. Here's the other thing. Talk about a guy who's been tenured as well. This is what's been interesting is both of these guys number one and number two have certainly played quite a few games within that of the college realm.

Speaker 2:

Jackson Dart put together four good, high-level years in college football. He actually started off at USC, transferred to Ole Miss and everything exploded from there. He was first-team All-SEC, he set school records with 10,617 passing yards, and then he also had 12,000 total, 12,000-plus total yards, and then he also had 12,000 total, 12,000 plus total yards, guys, he led the FBS with 10.8 yards per attempt and he had 4,700 plus total yards on offense. Guys, this dude is a stud. Do you know who else went to Ole Miss as a quarterback? He might have the last name as Manning. It was Eli and he beat Eli's records, okay, so this ain't a nobody.

Speaker 2:

So then you look at okay, well, how well has he thrown the ball? Well, thrown it well, fairly accurate, not insanely accurate, but pretty damn accurate. He has the ability, though, to make full field reads, and he's very good at the deep ball. So when you're going to the Giants right somebody who has been the team has been in purgatory right they take Daniel Jones early. They signed him to a big deal didn't work out right, so then they've been fumbling through people. Then you signed Russell Wilson this year, and you signed Jameis Winston, and you know you have a couple of great running backs and Malik neighbors. They don't know what to do at this point in time. Trust me, though, this kid is eventually going to take over at some point, and I am very excited for when that happens.

Speaker 1:

What an interesting quarterback room that's going on in there right now. You've got Russell Wilson, jameis, winston and Jackson Dart, and Jackson Dart is a he's a, he's a fun guy, like yeah, he's. I. I mean he's like active and and out there and you know all this stuff.

Speaker 2:

Interesting man, it's gonna imagine the conversations they're having, like they're probably just talking something random, and then jamis comes in and goes yeah, man, I can eat a w, I can eat something you know. And russ is like yeah, jamo, yeah, you know, we can, we can do it. Jackson's probably like what the fuck is going on? Yeah, these guys are douchebags. And Tommy DeVito.

Speaker 1:

And I forgot about Tommy DeVito.

Speaker 2:

Right Tommy.

Speaker 1:

Cutlets yeah, I forgot about that. They'll probably trade him, but yeah, I forgot. Or Jameis, to be perfectly honest. But what's interesting to me, my comp for him is Russell Wilson. I mean, he is very, very similar to play as Russell Wilson. Russell early, Russell Wilson. Yeah, you know where he can scramble. He can get outside of a pocket, he can run, but he throws that deep ball. So well, this in my mind. I'm sorry, if he gets on the field, even with Russell Wilson starting, which I think it's going to be probably four wilson starting which I think it's going to be probably four or five games.

Speaker 1:

I think it's going to be jackson dart coming in. So this is a guy to pay attention to because I think he will end up starting at some point this year. But malik neighbors this, it pushes him up my board because both russ and both jackson dart love throwing that deep ball. And, my god, we've seen malik neighbors just smoke people down the sideline and catch everything that's within a 10 mile radius from him. So I love it. Man, all right, who do you comp Jackson Dart to?

Speaker 2:

A very recent guy and this is super fun Bo Nix. I see Jackson Dart as Bo Nix man and I really believe that what we saw was Bo Nix go from one big time Auburn school to then Oregon and then he goes to a team to where, yeah, I mean, there wasn't a lot there. Well, bo Nix made the best of it and made them legit man. I really believe that when you look at what Bo Nix did last year as a rookie 19 points per game on average, over 365 points in total for the year I mean, do I think Jackson Dart is going to be able to do that? I don't know, I don't think maybe to that level, because I don't think he's going to come in and be named the starter from day one. But here's what's kind of interesting. Let's assume he plays five games. Let's assume he plays five to seven games and the Giants are a dumpster fire and they need to see what they got out of this young guy. Could we see 14, 15 points a game? Sure, absolutely, with the team they have around him. Guys, there's no doubt about it.

Speaker 2:

First off, the Giants defensive front might be top five in the NFL. They're damn scary. I mean that's ridiculous. When Kayvon Thibodeau is your worst defensive lineman, that's going to be a problem for offenses. So what does that mean? There's going to be more three and outs. There's going to be more opportunity for this quarterback to have opportunities. And so for me, man, I really think you give this kid five, six, seven games, guys. There's no reason why he can't average 14, 15 points a game with the team that he has around him Cam Scadaboo, malik Neighbors they re-signed Darius Slayton, right. They also have a few of the other guys Jalen Hyatt, right for the receiver room that they're still waiting to see what he can do. So Theo Johnson. So for me, man, I think that this is really fun, really exciting, and I hope he gets a shot. I think he's going to. I would love to see it sooner than later, because this kid is fun and was fun to watch at Ole Miss.

Speaker 1:

All right. So we had Cam Ward, who will start, Will start. We have Jackson Dart, who may start at some point this season. Now our number three guy. I think he's probably going to start.

Speaker 1:

Frankie, he's got the best chance, I think, to do that. Tyler Shug all right, drafted out of Louisville, drafted in round two, pick eight of round two. So high draft capital still here to New Orleans. Now, why I think he's probably going to start, and Frankie will get into it, is that depth chart that we'll talk about here. But his profile 6'5" 219, big quarterback 4'6" 40. Talk to us about Tyler Shug man. What's the opportunity here for this guy? I mean, it's huge.

Speaker 2:

There might not be a bigger opportunity outside of Cam Ward, in my opinion, than Tyler Shug. And here's why Derek Carr is gone. Right, guys, he retired, he can't do it anymore. And so we saw Spencer Rattler. That was not a thing. You know what I mean. It just wasn't a thing. And so when you take a guy in the second round, at eight overall in the second round, that tells me you are believing in this dude.

Speaker 2:

And here's what's interesting when you look at what Tyler Shug has no-transcript it's not like the stats are blowing you away, if I'm just calling it what it is he had 31, almost 3,200 yards passing. He had, like in the 20s mid-20s. He was 22, 23 touchdowns, six interceptions, 42 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. And what's interesting about him is he played for three different Power 5 conferences. He played with Oregon when Oregon was Pac-12 and then now, then right, and then he played Texas Tech that's big 12. And then he went to Louisville and finished at ACC. And so it's interesting because he's had a lot of good experience here. And then when you start looking around, guys, look at how many years he played in college. It was something like six or seven total years. And I mean, like, when we talk about quarterbacks that are now being developed in college, whether they're bouncing from team to team, right, we can make that argument, but if they're there for multiple seasons, they're getting multiple reps. This kid is an old guy, right In the terms of he ain't a fresh 21, 22-year-old, and so what's interesting is he missed his 2023 season after four games with a broken leg. He comes back and was named honorable mention to all ACC and named one of three national comeback players of the year. And, what's fascinating, when you see his play, guys, he's the quintessential pocket passer type of quarterback Good arm strength, is able to hold defenders very well with his eyes. When you watch what he was able to do at Louisville, it was pretty cool man. He was able to draw that safety away, look back and get a nice throw down the field and his head coach now, whether or not we believe this or not, but he thinks he's better than Cam Ward and others actually thought. He's the number two quarterback in this draft overall and he went three right. He was the third QB off the draft. So he's walking into a brilliant situation, in my opinion, with the Saints, because it gives him the opportunity to play immediately and shine right.

Speaker 2:

So when we start looking at, well, who does he have? Okay, let's dive in. You got Alvin Kamara. That's huge. You got Chris Olave let's assume he's healthy. That's huge. You got Rashid Shahid. Before Rashid Shahid went down, john, was he not one of the most electric players? Deep threats, absolutely. Then you bring in Brandon Cooks. Now, I get he's getting old, but you still have a guy that can perform. And then you have Juwan Johnson. If this old line holds up and Tyler Shug just throws that ball around, guys, we have an opportunity to see something really cool happen with this dude Cause again. This is like a Brandon Whedon situation. I mean, this dude is like pushing 30. He's closer to 30 than he is 20. Right, so this is going to be a lot of fun to see how this 25 years old.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, man, so he 25 years old, right, this isn't a 21 year old, 22 year old coming out of college, so he's got some season under his belt. So, man, I'm excited to see what happens with Tyler Shug.

Speaker 1:

I am too. I mean, he's a guy you got to pay attention, especially in Superflex here, because if he's a starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints and there's Spencer Rattler is the only one on the depth chart behind him, the guy's going to start, the guy's got to play, there's going to be opportunity for him. And again we've seen it with that Jaden Daniels effect of guys who've played five plus years in college. That that translates. That is very, very important, so interesting to see what will happen. Um, if I'm in a, a super flex or two quarterback league, I'll look at taking him as my third, yeah yeah, yeah, I'll look at him as my third and see what happens there, but he could bring you something.

Speaker 1:

Uh, frankie, who are you comping him to? Who's your comparison here, guys?

Speaker 2:

he's a jared light. That's who you need to think of, like when you think of a perfect pocket passer that's not throwing out insane numbers and things of that nature. Guys, it's Jared Goff light, right? So think of Jared Goff's rookie year. Nothing crazy at 38 total points in seven games, right, they really weaned him into the play. And when you look at what Tyler Shug's doing, I mean honestly he could be around 12, 13, 14 points a game, depending on. So again, it's going to be a wait and see with this guy. This is not a guy you're going to draft for the one QB lead. No way, no way in hell. But to your point, he's going to be my third QB on the board that I'm going to sit on and see if there's any value by weeks. Right? Late trades, things of that nature, injuries People start freaking out. They needed somebody to trade with. That could be you, if you're holding on to Tyler Shug.

Speaker 1:

All right, moving on to our number four guy here.

Speaker 1:

A little controversy on this one, frankie, I'm curious what you're going to say here I'm talking about Shadur Sanders, drafted from Colorado. Late round five is when he went here Kind of embarrassing watching him during the draft parties and everything and ends up going round five Pick six in round five to the Cleveland Browns ADPs 208, qb 29 off the board. Shador profile 6'2", 212, 47840. Frankie, talk to us about Shador profile 6'2", 2'12", 4'7", 8'40". Frankie, talk to us about Shador Sanders. What in the hell is going on in that Cleveland quarterback room?

Speaker 2:

Arguably the most polarizing player outside of Travis Hunter. And it was funny enough, they were on the same team. And so, guys, when you look at Shador, he was the number two overall projected pick, or top five, or right, that's your top six. That's just what. It was. Okay. He had 4,100 plus passing yards, 37 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and four rushing touchdowns. That's pretty damn good. So what did he do?

Speaker 2:

As a whole, second team, all American big 12, offensive player of the year, year first team, all-big 12, and he also set school records with 64 career passing touchdowns and a 74 completion percentage. Guys, that is insanity. He's very precise when he throws the ball. He led all FBS with a 74% completion percentage, true pocket passer, and does a very good job of hanging in the pocket. One thing that was crazy is when you watch his tape, he's getting destroyed. The offensive line was dog shit and he's still staying in the pocket throwing dimes. And to me, that shows two things that shows high character and that shows his ability to stay in pocket and take the shot and still throw the ball. Stay in pocket and take the shot and still throw the ball all translating extremely well into the NFL.

Speaker 2:

Why did he drop? Well, that's what's crazy, guys. When you're projected at this and you're throwing 4,100 passing yards, you're having a 74% completion percentage. Well, people are saying it's because most of his passes were checkdowns and that went the distance with Travis Hunter, right? Or whoever it may be. Or it was his dad, right. The reason why he fell was because they don't want the circus and things of that nature.

Speaker 2:

Here's the deal. I'm happy as hell he went to the Browns and I'm happy as hell that he went as a fifth overall or fifth round pick, because there's no pressure no pressure for him and no pressure for the team that took him at that particular timeframe, because you're expending no capital on him. So when you look at the situation with the Browns I mean for those of you who aren't tuned in guys he tore up OTAs, he tore up rookie minicamp. He looked really, really, really good. Now again, he's throwing against the third team, second team. So we got to take that into consideration. If I'm talking out and saying he's doing so good, I also got to be honest on who he's throwing against. But the reality is this could be an excellent situation for him because of everything that I said, browns took a leap of faith on him in the fifth round. There's no pressure there.

Speaker 2:

You get to learn from Joe Flacco, you get to understand some of the ins and outs from Kenny Pickett. And, by the way, talk about competition. There was a quarterback drafted in the third round, 94th overall with Gabriel, uh uh, dylan, gabriel, right To where now? Hey, shador, come in and compete, but there's somebody that we decided we wanted more over you. Talk about that mentality of what he is coming in here. So for me, man, guys, there's no fantasy value, face value, at this point in time, in my personal opinion, unless he becomes the starter for the Browns. If that happens, he's a second tier QB, meaning if you're at a super flex league, he's your third pick or third QB, very similar to that of a tyler shug, things of that nature. But it's going to be really interesting to see long term how this pans out, man, because he could have something here he could, he absolutely could.

Speaker 1:

I mean we, we got to see what happens.

Speaker 1:

I mean it's just too early to even be considering putting him on a fantasy team at this point yeah that We've got a lot of football that needs to happen in August here before we can even look at that, but it's interesting. He's not without some weapons though. You've got Jerry Judy, you've got Cedric Tillman, brown's just brought in Deontay Johnson, which is kind of interesting, could be a little help with some possession receiving David and Joku as well, and then you've got Dylan Sampson and Quinshawn Judkins out of the backfield, so there could be some fantasy value here. If he gets the starting nod, yeah, and I do think it will be Joe Flacco for the first few games, and once Joe Flacco throws a game of six interceptions in a game, then they'll look at going to. You know one of these other guys, but, yeah, really interesting man. Who would you compare, uh, shooter Sanders to?

Speaker 2:

man, my comp, my comp to him, is Gino Smith, and you know what I mean. And it took Gino Smith a couple years, right Like he was drafted right out of the gate to come in and do it and he wasn't good and it just he needed that check. And now we're seeing Geno Smith is like it's almost like thank God that if you're, if you have Geno Smith being a Raider, you're happy with that, because you know he's going to be right around that 4,000 yard mark of passing yards. You know that he's going to be, you know, pretty efficient with what he does. He's not going to be a Patrick Mahomes, he's not going to be a Josh Allen, he's not going to be a Lamar Jackson, but he's certainly not going to be dog shit. And so I think that Shador could certainly grow into being that of a Geno Smith type of player.

Speaker 1:

Okay, moving on here, let's talk about our last quarterback on the list. Here at number five is Will Howard out of the Ohio State University. That's right. Drafted in round six, picked nine to the Pittsburgh Steelers. All right, this is a big, big quarterback here. He profiles at 6'4", 236. Love this guy man. Talk to me about Will Howard.

Speaker 2:

I mean guys. First off, there's few people that I was so high on in the draft and to see him go to the Steelers. As much as I can't stand the Steelers, I'm so pumped because I know that they're going to develop this dude well and they got somebody. And here's why I say that, guys. Last year he threw for over 4,000 yards, 35 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, had 226 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns. Oh, by the way, he won the national championship as the quarterback. Okay, he was third team all Big big 10, second in FBS for completion percentage, behind Shador Sanders. He was cotton bowl offensive MVP and win over Texas and was the national championship offensive MVP.

Speaker 2:

Dude is literally everything you want from a quarterback, from the intangibles as well, right. So think about his leadership, think about his tenacity, think about him getting his ass kicked by Michigan, which was disgusting to see, as I'm wearing, right, an Ohio state hat here. And then you end up going and you have to get the rally, the team, and get it right, and then you go on to win a national champion. That's who I want, that's somebody who I want to develop in my particular team, right. And so when you go to the Steelers, he's going to be behind Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2:

You get to sit there and you get to learn from one of the greats, and it sounds like he's being Aaron Rodgers, is being very receptive to that of Will Howard, which was something that I was actually concerned about for the kid, because Aaron Rodgers is Karen Rodgers, we all know that right, he's two sips of ayahuasca away from being, you know, some nuts, and so for me, man, I think that he can really learn from them and I think he can develop. And then when you look at the team around him with DK and you have Caleb Johnson and Jalen Warren and Firemuth right and all these other players, man, I just would love to see him develop and I think he can I think it's a perfect spot for him and you're 100 right.

Speaker 1:

I was hoping the browns would ended up taking will howard. I really did. I would rather have seen him there. But yeah, it's a great spot to learn from mike tomlin. It's a great spot for him to learn with aaron rogers. Um, you know they're going to continue developing talent on this team and don't think that it's not outside of the realm of possibility that he does end up playing this year. I mean, aaron Rodgers is in front of him and Mason Rudolph, so there's a possibility this guy can play this year. So just be watching that and be watching the waiver wires in case he does. Who would you compare Will Howard to? Who's your best comp for him, frank?

Speaker 2:

He's tough man. He's tough because he's kind of a jack of all trades, but I'm going to actually go with. He's a super light, justin Herbert. And I say that because the way that Will Howard was able to throw the rock down the field this year, to think of the Jeremiah Smith, think of the Mecca Abuka, think of those particular routes that those guys were running, they were pretty deep and then you layer on Carnell Tate, et cetera. Those were not just dink and dunk routes. So for me, man, seeing his ability to hit those routes, now his arm strength isn't as good as that of Herbert, and I'm not saying that, but he's a light. He's light there. So for me, man, again Justin Herbert's rookie year 25 fantasy points, a game, absolutely unreal. 378 total fantasy points, that ain't Will Howard. But what I'm saying is he could develop into somebody like that.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, and he's big. I mean, he's built like Josh Allen, he looks like Josh Allen and seven rushing touchdowns I mean that's nothing to shake a stick at, no, especially when you had, you know, and henderson in the backfield there. So that's pretty impressive man. All right, let's get to the tight ends here. Guys, we got a couple of tight ends. We need to talk about rookie tight end. Number one on here, frankie, is tyler warren out of penn state. I drafted round one, pick 14. That is high, high draft capital for a tight end. Whoa to the indianapolis colts all right, good, they need a tight end. They've been capital for a tight end. Whoa To the Indianapolis Colts All right, good, they need a tight end. They've been trying for a long time. He's currently the tight end 11 off the board. Tyler Warren profiles at 6'6" 256, 40 time of 4'6" 8. Talk to us a little bit about Tyler Warren man.

Speaker 2:

Superstar in the making. Superstar in the making. Get to know this dude. Get ready to draft this dude in your leagues. Here's why 2024, 104 receptions. Pause there.

Speaker 2:

Tight end 104 receptions, 1,233 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. By the way, that's a tight end. He had 218 rushing yards and he had four rushing touchdowns. He's a tight end. He's a dream tight end with with Gronk upside and elements of Taysom Hill. Man he was playing.

Speaker 2:

Fun fact he was actually playing quarterback when he first came into college and then he moved to tight end after Penn state had asked them to and he just wanted to get on the field Best decision he could have ever have done. This dude is athletic, brilliantly smart and understanding defenses in front of him, which is right from his quarterback days. He's incredible with his ball skills and is just fucking tough as nails. Fun fact he was seventh in Heisman voting as a tight end Guys. He's going to the Colts in a dream scenario and has the chance to be a Dallas Clark 2.0.

Speaker 2:

Right, and with the situation, with the QB situation completely up in the air, guys, I actually think it's going to be Daniel Jones Hot take. I don't know if Anthony Richardson is going to play this year, and maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. I don't know if Anthony Richardson is going to play this year and maybe he does, maybe he doesn't but if Daniel Jones is the quarterback, I love this Because I think that Tyler Warren is that guy that is going to be perfect in a Shane Steichen type of offense man. And so, again, walking into a good situation, you're spending first round capital, live capital, on him, 14th overall in the nfl draft dream scenario. This is going to be fun to watch yeah, I think so too.

Speaker 1:

I mean he's, he's a super talented, unbelievably talented. Uh, kind of a, a swiss army knife type. Yeah, as well, like you were saying, kind of like how they use dallas clark, like that as well, I mean you're, I think, is he wearing the same number as Dallas Clark? I don't know, that'd be fun. Yeah, just put. What was he? 44?, 44.

Speaker 2:

Throw that 44 on there, yeah.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, I mean the team's got a ton of talent on it right now. With Jonathan Taylor you got Michael Pittman Jr.

Speaker 2:

Josh.

Speaker 1:

Downs. Alec Pierce and Adni Mitchell are still out there, so there's a lot of mouths to feed. He was used to at Penn State. The offense ran through him, I mean he was really everything for that team.

Speaker 1:

For the most part it's not going to be like that with the Colts. I don't know that he's going to get that much play on some of those rushing downs and some of the end arounds and things. They've really got that under control, especially if Richardson plays too. But I love the opportunity. I think this could be a sneaky tight end for you. I don't see it being a Brock Bowers situation because there is other talent here. Brock Bowers had no other talent around him at all, but it's extremely encouraging these couple of tight ends we're talking about at the top here. You know we'd always talk about tight ends. They took like three, four years to develop that. Always talk about tight ends. They took like three, four years to develop. That's not the case anymore. They've changed the archetype. They found these guys the past two years in a row the number one tight end in fantasy football has been a rookie.

Speaker 1:

You had Sam Laporte do it two years ago and last year you had Brock Bauer. So there's a real possibility that the number one tight end could come out of the rookie class. And Tyler Warren's definitely a possibility, man, I mean, there is a world where that can happen. So I like the guy a lot. Who would you compare him to Frankie?

Speaker 2:

John, I'm going to go with exactly what I said. I kind of teased it. He is Gronk, with some Taysom Hill baby, like it. Just, it just is like when you see him being able to rush and things like that, that's not normal for a tight end, especially a guy who's six, six, two, 56. I mean, you don't see that Like. And so they're handing the ball off to this dude, not once, not twice, for 218 yards, okay, like that's quite a few times for a tight end. And so, guys, for me man, knowing Gronk's stature, knowing his ability to catch the ball but his smarts as dumb as people think Gronk is dude from a football perspective was brilliant at reading defenses. And so for me, man, I think that this is so exciting Gronk's rookie year.

Speaker 2:

He ended up having about 15 points a game, which equated to 106 fantasy points because he only played seven games. So do I think that Tyler Warren's going to get that? Probably not, if I'm being honest with you, unless he's, unless he ends up being the number one tight end this year. But I see him being right around the seven, eight point per game mark. Which, guys, if you're waiting on tight end, that's not a bad decision, that's not a bad player, right? If he's averaging almost that double digit points, if he's floating around eight points, god, I mean just wait, just sit on him and then take somebody like that because it's incredible upside, and if not, you dump him yeah, I mean there's a couple of tight ends that I'll draft.

Speaker 1:

I'll go up for Brock Bowers, I'll grow up for Trey McBride, George Kittle.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

After that you could talk me into a lot of different tight ends. I could punt completely and wait to the very end and take a chance on Tyler Warren. I have no issue with that whatsoever, so I don't mind it. All right, let's get to our number two guy here. We got Mason Taylor from LSU. A second round pick here for a tight end. Still huge draft capital to the New York Jets. Very interesting landing spot there. He's the tight end 24 off the board right now. He profiles at 6'5" 251 with a 4'6" 540. Frankie, introduce us all to Mason.

Speaker 2:

Taylor Guys, mason Taylor. You're going to know the name, trust me. In last year he had 55 receptions, 546 receiving yards, two touchdowns. It's honestly average, maybe better than average, like right. But here's what's interesting he finished third team all SEC and he set the single season record for tight end with 55 receptions. That's pretty damn cool. But here is what is absolutely wild and, by the way, like for the 55 receptions, that's specifically for right LSU.

Speaker 2:

His dad is Jason Taylor, who, by the way, he's a hall of famer, just in case you wanted to know, and his uncle is Zach Thomas, who is also a Hall of Famer, and so he will continue to grow in his role as a tight end. But, guys, his athleticism is off the charts. He has enough speed to get past linebackers and coverage. He also converted 68% of his receptions for first downs. So when you need the play to happen in order to move the chains, they're looking at this cat. And so, guys, like the reason we have him. Number two, you're probably like yo, where is Colston Loveland? Why are you not talking about him? We're going to get there. But the reason that Mason Taylor's here is because of where he landed at the jets. Guys, there's, he's going to be tight end one and if not, he will eventually be tight end one, probably by the end of the year.

Speaker 2:

And there's not much from a competition perspective really. I mean, sure, running back there's going to be right, braylon, allen, brees Hall, but there's rumors that Brees Hall might be on the trade block, right, and things of that nature. So then you look at receivers Okay, they have Garrett Wilson and they have Lazard, maybe Josh Reynolds, maybe Malachi Corley, like right, like whatever, but there's no, I don't know man, there's just something here that screams Justin Fields to Cole Komet is the same to me as Justin Fields to a rookie tight end, with his dad being a Hall of Famer and his uncle being a Hall of Famer. And so here's also a fascinating thing when you look at what Fields did in Chicago with Cole Komet. Cole Komet put up 133 receptions in total right. This is in total for 1,382 yards and 10 touchdowns, and that's in 40 games with Fields right.

Speaker 2:

This is, in my opinion, that shows the floor, that shows the absolute floor for Mason Taylor. I think if you take a guy in the second round with this upside man, he could be fun. Now, I'm not saying, john, that we're. I'm not saying to go and draft him in fantasy football, but what I'm saying is right, he's listed at tight end 24. What I'm saying is he might be a guy that you're spending some money on during the waiver wire because he starts balling out.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean it's just the opportunity. You talked about the depth chart. There's not much there outside of Garrett Wilson guys. There's really really not. So you throw in a second-round draft, capital tight end to Justin Fields Absolutely, he's going to get looks, he's going to get targets, he's going to get targets. It's a different situation than what we just talked about with Tyler Warren. There's a lot of mouths to feed still in that offense. Same with Colston Loveland A lot of mouths to feed there. This guy's really kind of by himself with Garrett Wilson. So I really like that for the opportunity. Keep an eye on him. I'll be watching him and looking. If you're streaming tight end, which I almost always do, I'm going to be looking at him giving a couple looks his way. I like it. Frankie, who do you comp him to?

Speaker 2:

John. My comp for him is Tucker Craft. So Tucker Craft for the Packers guys. We saw what Tucker Craft did when Luke Musgrave went down really bald. I mean truly stepped up His rookie year, tucker Craft. He had roughly about four points a game equated to about 63 total points. I don't feel like that's that far off for that of Mason Taylor. So Mason Taylor, let's say he's roughly five points a game and half PPR, you know, 75 to 85 total fantasy points. Again, maybe a good plug and play for a bye week. Maybe we see him come up and actually be something towards the end of the year, whatever it is. But there's something here with mason taylor that you guys need to stay in tune with all right, moving on to our number three tight end here, colston loveland.

Speaker 1:

There he is, frank there he is that's right. Drafted in round one pick number 10 overall. Jesus. Okay, let's go to the chicago bears. Let's just throw into that soup and see what happens here. Uh, right now he's a tight end 16. So this guy's draftable on your fantasy team here. Lafranchi, break it down for us he's a big body guy 66, 250. What are we doing with colston loveland?

Speaker 2:

yeah, it's bad as it's said it, it sucks to say this, but he's so good, he's so good from Michigan man. I mean he had 56 receptions last year, 582 receiving yards and five touchdowns. I mean, dude is a star. Let me be crystal clear he is a star. He finished the year as a second team all big 10 school record for tight end with 56 receptions. And all of this was in 10 games, guys and seven starts.

Speaker 2:

Colson is very rare in the sense that he can run a full route tree, all three levels. Very few tight ends can absolutely do that. And the other thing is he's incredible body control and he's a mismatch to so many linebackers, meaning you need a safety to really guard this guy because of that. And then the issue is oh, he's 6'6", he's 250. So now he's a mismatch for the safety then as well. That's why he's a nightmare and that's why he went 10th overall to that of the Chicago Bears.

Speaker 2:

Now here's what sucks. When we talk about the soup, when we're talking about the stew of Chicago, I mean they have Cole Komet. Still, they drafted Luther Burden, which we talked about. You have DJ Moore, roma Dunze, deandre Swift, tyler Scott, you keep going down the list and there's more and more guys that start to pop out. That's why he's lower on our particular rankings for the rookie tight ends, because I just don't know how many mouths there are to feed in that particular offense. Sure, ben Johnson did great with Sam Laporta, but, guys, colson Loveland's also been banged up already in this offseason, so you have to factor that in. And so for me, man, do I think Colson Loveland's going to be fine? Yes, I do. Do I think it's going to be this year? I don't know. I don't know. This is a guy that we're going to need to wait and see, but he could be something interesting down the stretch, we talked about Ben Johnson.

Speaker 1:

I mean, there's two coaches I'm going to be talking a lot about this whole season Ben Johnson and Liam Cohen. Yeah, Because I just think they're two of the most exciting guys that have proven just excellent, excellent work with what they've done. Ben Johnson went and got his JMO you know, with, with, with Luther with Luther. Yeah, and then what did he do? He just went out and he went and got his Sam Laporta, you know, and this guy, this guy's better than Sam Laporta.

Speaker 2:

He's good, he's good, he's so good.

Speaker 1:

So it's tough and, from a fantasy perspective perspective, he's right on the cusp of being a draftable starting tight end for your fantasy team. But yeah, it's difficult because of all the mouths to feed and we're also relying on caleb williams, yeah, which, let's be honest, didn't really impress last year. Yeah, didn't really impressed, but they've invested heavily in their offensive line. I I think there's going to be opportunities to get the ball out to these guys and it's just a matter of what is the scheme? They're going to scheme things. Seeing what Ben Johnson did with Sam Laporta, they're going to create opportunities for this guy. I just don't know how many of those opportunities there are going to be, but I'm going to be watching. I mean, it's a guy that I'm not afraid to draft. Now you will have to probably draft another tight end.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I was going to say are you rolling him out there as a starter or are you drafting another tight end?

Speaker 1:

I'm not rolling him out there week one as a starter, no. But if I do, let's say I go crazy and decide to draft a tight end early. Maybe I've got Brock Bowers In one of my leagues. I have Brock Bowers as a keeper. I'll back him up with colston loveland later in the draft. Yeah, just to see what happens. And if he does blow up, I can trade him. You know, use it as trade bait. So yeah, I I really like him not. You compare this guy to. He is a stud. Who do you comp him to?

Speaker 2:

oh, this is good guys. Okay, remember back. This is kind of crazy.

Speaker 1:

Tyler eifert, tyler eifert right, remember, remember the big. You know our thing is almost a gronk. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

Like that's the guy like dude tyler eifert was about to be the guy and then he couldn't stay on the field because he was hurt all the time. Dude tyler eifert's rookie year was really actually solid. He only played eight games but he averaged nine points a game roughly and he had over 85 fantasy points. Guys, I mean, I could totally see almost that being for Colston Loveland. I mean, right now he's floating around roughly about seven points a game, about 106 total fantasy points for the year, assuming he plays every particular game. But man, oh man, does it scream Tyler Eifert, but a little bit more athletic. So, if we can, I'm just honestly super pumped to see this dude assuming he's healthy, but I'm excited to see him. No offense to Cole Komet, when Cole Komet isn't really a thing, because I want to see Colson Loveland take the lead as a starting tight end.

Speaker 1:

All right. Moving on to our number four rookie tight end, we've got Harold Fannin out of Bowling Green drafted to the Cleveland Browns. All right, he's the tight end 30 off the board right now. Round three pick to the Cleveland Browns 6-3, 2-41. Talk to us a little bit about Harold Fannin.

Speaker 2:

Oh, mr Fanny Sure, absolutely 117 receptions last year as a tight end 117 receptions, 1555 yards receiving and 10 touchdowns. Holy crap, sensational player, absolute star in the making. He was first team All-American MAAC Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the year and offensive player of the year. He also led the FBS with 117 receptions and 1,555 yards receiving. He led the FBS guys Both, by the way, are single season FBS tight end records. And he was also, fun fact named the 68 Venture Bowls MVP Guys. In his bowl game he had 17 receptions, 213 yards and a touchdown.

Speaker 2:

I mean I'm laughing because this is nuts. This is like we don't see these numbers, guys. And he's only 20 years old. I mean, this dude is super young. I mean in his bright of a future I think I've ever seen coming out of the tight end position. That's why you take him in the third round. Now, going to the browns, it's interesting because you have david and joku there. He is the guy, chief, chief chief and joku is the dude. But what's interesting is that the browns are planning on running a two tight end set. Right, that's planning on what they're going to do. And if that's the case, Harold Fannin Jr has legitimate standalone value, like I really believe that. And and now, because, right, if you think about the Brown scenario, outside of Judy and Njoku, who else they got? John? Sure, you can say Tillman, but really that's it from a receiving perspective yeah yeah yeah, I, there is an actual opportunity for this guy this year.

Speaker 1:

But he is the heir apparent to david and joku. I mean, that's, that's just what's going on here. They drafted him to be able to take the reins from and joku. But you're right, I mean we talked about it before when we were talking about, um, some of the other browns rookies they drafted. They plan on running two tight end sets quite a bit. They've done that. Stefanski is notorious for doing that. So there could be some option there, there could be some opportunity. But yeah, he's not going to be a guy you're going to draft but as you're streaming tight ends, it could be a guy that could give you a week-to-week kind of band-aid for you as well. All right, so when we're looking at a comp Frankie for Harold Fennan, who, who, who does he look like?

Speaker 2:

Oh, john, this one's easy man. For me it's going to be Isaiah likely, right? So Isaiah likely from the Ravens, I mean the way he moves, the way Isaiah, isaiah, isaiah likely operates, um, that's who comes to mind, and I think if isaiah likely was, was standalone no mark andrews we would see an absolute stud, a big time start. So for me, looking at what likely did his rookie year, he had roughly five points per game, so that equated to about 74 fantasy points for the year. Again, you got to remember his rookie year. He had mark andrews. So in that same breath, remember his rookie year, he had Mark Andrews. So in that same breath, right, harold Fannin has in Joku. So I kind of see very similar, maybe four or five points a game, depending, assuming in Joku stays healthy the entire time. But it's roughly about 61 total points in total. But for me, man, I think this is more of a longer play for the Browns. Develop this younger kid, things of that nature. But uh, exciting stuff nonetheless.

Speaker 1:

All right, let's move on here to our number five, rookie tight end, elijah Arroyo, drafted out of Miami, drafted in round two. Man, these tight ends, they get drafted early, don't they? Yeah, he's 6'5" 250. That seems to be a trend with the tight ends 6'5" 250, and they move like receivers. I mean, that's just what these guys are drafting. Now Talk to us a little bit about Elijah Arroyo.

Speaker 2:

Listen, guys 35 receptions last year, 590 receiving yards and seven touchdowns Absolutely a red zone magnet for Cam Ward. So how he ended up he finished second team, all ACC and started all 13 games. Fun fact he actually moved from Miami to Mexico, still played American football and then moved from Mexico to Texas during middle school. So you know, for him he's actually a big question mark for a lot of reasons. Number one is he's already had multiple injuries. He had a knee injury that made him miss two seasons. He played 11 total games between 2022 and 2023 combined. But here's the deal he's a good blocker. He's very strong in his soft hands for a tight end. He can also run a vertical route and a decent route tree as well.

Speaker 2:

So, going to the Seattle Seahawks, where Noah Fant is, but it hasn't really panned out. I mean, dude, there's absolutely something here that could certainly be beneficial to them with Sam Darnold and things like that, we look at what Sam Darnold did with TJ Hawkinson. When Hawkinson came back, I mean it was pretty sweet, I mean it was, it was totally legit and and all of right, right and so for me, man, knowing that this is like a new regime, knowing that, um, uh, sam darnold's at the helm and, knowing that noah fan just hasn't panned out, I mean this is a boomer bus prospect in my eyes. So I think that right there's an opportunity for elijah to come in here and make some waves, or he could really shit the bed. But when you're taking a second round pick on this dude, you gotta hope he's panning out yeah, and it's.

Speaker 1:

It's tough with with no offense in front of him. I mean, this isn't going to be somebody you're going to be drafting. It's going to be one of those guys that's a waiver wire pickup if no offense gets hurt or if you're streaming tight end. So it's going to be really difficult to go into tons of detail right now about this guy. Who's your con?

Speaker 2:

for him. I mean, it's OJ Howard for me. And so what did OJ Howard do? His rookie year is roughly about five points per game, 66 total fantasy points. So for me, man, I mean, I think it's going to be roughly probably about the same for Elijah, assuming he's able to get on the field Again, this isn't a guy, in my opinion, that you're going to be starting right away, Like to your point, John. You got to wait and see. But again, it could be somebody of interest and down the line that you may need to pick up during a bye week. All right, let's get to our.

Speaker 1:

Oh, you've got a little special mention you wanted to hear.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I do.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you always do this, you go, god damn it. I should have talked about this guy. Who's the guy you wanted to bring up so?

Speaker 2:

honorable mention Terrence Ferguson for the Rams. Guys remember that name and I know the Rams have a plethora of tight ends that they have, but this is a guy that's really been standing out during camp. If he ends up starting for the Rams, he is certainly somebody that you can really look to to potentially be your tight end too. If you're in a multiple tight end league or you're getting like, actually fun fact, we're actually a part of a league and maybe two not maybe two leagues that are going to be giving um additional point or something like that, basically additional incentive to play a tight end. And so if that's a particular league you're in, watch out for terrence ferguson, because he could certainly be somebody that moves up the charts very quickly.

Speaker 2:

What does he look like to you? What's your best comp? You know it's crazy, it's actually going to be the other Ferguson and it's for that of the Dallas Cowboys. I really think that Jake Ferguson and Terrence Ferguson are pretty damn similar and so and we've seen Jake be pretty damn good for the Cowboys in an offense that's pretty convoluted. I mean, you look at, you know, cd Lamb and you look at some of the other weapons that they've had over the last few years. Yeah, I mean, he's really carved out a role. So for me, man, knowing that Puka Nakua, devontae Adams and there's Kyron Williams, etc. I could certainly see Terrence Ferguson working his way up and making some hay happen.

Speaker 1:

Double turd Ferguson on the comp Two turd Fergies.

Speaker 2:

Wow Two turd Fergies. Wow.

Speaker 1:

On that note, thank you so much, guys. That is the quarterback and tight end rookie review. That completes our rookie review series here. Frankie, what do we have coming up?

Speaker 2:

man Guys, get ready, get ready. We're doing some new faces in new places. It's going to be dropping pretty soon and so, with that being said, we're doing new faces in new places and it is mock draft season.
