I just like am really warming up to like those other running backs a lot more.
Oh, no.
I mean, he was the wide receiver 31 last year.
It was nowhere near his fault, and it's not gonna be nearly that bad with Kyler Murray.
By the way, Kyler Murray's my most drafted, player, or at, at quarterback.
It's just to me, I like my teams when I have the running backs over Justin Jefferson, and the fact that like Kyler Murray didn't like run away with this job so early on has me just a little bit spooked on how this thing could, could play out.
Not to like completely fade Justin Jefferson.
I draft him more than I do James Cook.
But if you wanted to go two running backs at the turn instead of Jeff- instead of Justin Jefferson, I think totally fine.
I am winding up on an island with my Justin Jefferson take 'cause now it's you, it's Harmon, it's Boone all having him outside the top 12 rankings.
I, I'm still in because, you know, you, you go back to it, he was still, you know, wide receiver three in points per game with Darnold, wide receiver five with Cousins and Mullins.
He still owned wide receiver four in terms of team targets across the league and wide receiver five in terms of air yards.
So, you know, for me- Oh, yeah if Kyler Murray was my number one drafted quarterback, then I would also be in on Justin Jefferson too.
