They're really selling us hard on Ja'Darian Price and Rashid Shaheed being more involved.
It feels like Rashid Shaheed, Chris, might be one of these guys that for all of eternity, whichever team is signing his paychecks is, is telling us he's gonna be more involved than previous.
I tend to be o- optimistic on the Rashid Shaheed side that he can do more than he's tasked with, but so far he has been-- I would-- I mean, he's been a real receiver at times, especially in New Orleans, but he just wasn't fully unleashed with the Seattle Seahawks after coming over there mid-season.
And obviously Ja'Darian Price, they're talking about him being used as a receiver.
I, I mean, we know who the big guy is.
It's Jaxon Smith-Njigba here.
But do you find yourself clicking on any of these ans-- I don't wanna call them ancillary, obviously starting running back, number two receiver, any of these other Seattle Seahawk players?
I don't usually, but I don't feel like it's because I think their price is bad or anything.
It just seems not to have worked out that way.
You and I are both, Tory Horton fans.
We would love- Yeah Tory Horton to be a thing.
I went into the draft season having Horton ahead of Shaheed.
Nothing, really against Shaheed, I just Maybe it's the promise of the unknown of Tory Horton.
But something to know for your draft, if you were ever thinking of Tory Horton as a sleeper, no, he's hurt.
He had a rod- Yeah implanted in his shin.
He's having complications.
We're not going anywhere near him.
And Shaheed went up in my ranks as a result.
Still not top 50, but I, I'm not like If anybody's gonna pound the table and say, "You know, you really have it wrong.
It should be 39 instead of 51."
Like, okay buddy, I don't know.
Maybe.
Like, they're kinda all the same.
They're, they're-- Shaheed has the profile of a big play guy, and should the role expand beyond what he's done so far in his career, and he might be able to do more, he'll, he'll outperform it.
But I, I can't-- I can say that about 40 receivers.
So I don't reach for him.
I tend not to reach for Price.
It is-- A- are you surprised that the market hasn't gone crazier with Ja'Darian?
Like the price actually is pretty reasonable for this first round rookie- Yeah running back.
Yeah, I know.
I agree with that.
I thought he'd be somebody that would like rocket up, over the course of the summer, but he's stayed kind of in a range where I, in my- Yeah rankings, I end up, you know, kind of facing him versus some of the receivers that I really like there.
So it does sort of look into like a team build situation.
But I have him sandwiched right now between, you know, the David Montgomery and Quinshon Judkins type of players.
And I mean, Judkins is a really good, exciting player, but he plays for the Browns.
And so it's kind of I'm weighing Montgomery versus Price.
I could totally understand somebody just saying, "Hey, I'm in the 60s.
I, I need a volume-based running back too.
Let me at least take the guy that is younger and theoretically more exciting."
