It's never too early for a mock draft.
Video Transcript
Doesn't it seem like Mike Evans is just primed to have a monster year with targets, especially now that we're thinking about how his game crosses over with Brock Purdy's and, and the red zone stuff.
And it just, again, it just boils down to if he's healthy.
Are, are people sleeping on Mike Evans a little bit and kind of just avoiding that because they think that, you know, the substation's gonna get him?
The substation.
It's crazy that we're even I gotta be honest with you, I have Mike Evans as someone that I'm very, cautious with.
Okay.
Because very often, 30-something-year-old wide receivers who change teams don't really go on to have a lot of success.
I, I, I mean, there maybe are some exceptions to the rule, like Davante Adams, but he's kind of a freak.
And I know Mike Evans is a Hall of Fame player, but he's already hurt.
He missed a bunch of time last year because he was hurt.
So in a best case scenario, let's throw the injuries out.
Yeah, he should get a lot of targets.
When's George Kittle coming back?
I don't know.
Yes.
Like, there were some reports out there that he thinks he could be ready for week one.
He got hurt in January and he tore his Achilles.
Like, wh- really?
I mean, unless like they have some new medical science or they've, you know, they've created some adamantium that they shot into that Achilles and he's good to go now, if you're not a superhero dork, adamantium, you know, Wolverine, whatever.
Wolverine.
But there should be a lot of targets.
But can he stay healthy?
Yeah.
And that's the big, that's the big question mark.
Evans typically historically has been like a one or a two in fantasy.
I think I'd probably rather have him as a three, and I think there's risk.
Is he healthy?
Yes.
The targets are gonna be there?
Absolutely.
Is he, is he a guy that I can lock in for 14 games?
I, I don't know about that.
I hope so.
I, I don't know about that, though.
So I was gonna pivot the next question about George Kittle, right?
And I, I, I'm of the mind that I don't believe that he's gonna be on short-term IR or anything like that.
He di- he, he's been very vocal about, going and getting stem cell, you know, treatments done.
And, and he, he does train maniacally, right?
But I think week one is out of the question just based on the travel to Australia.
Like, I think they would, they would be wise to not put him through all that travel.
But with the tight end position, it's, in my mind when I'm in a draft, Trey McBride, Brock Bowers, Colston Loveland, I feel like those are the guys up top that are, you know, you can really, like But if I don't- Tyler Warren Tyler Warren.
I'd put him in there.
Yeah.
If you, if I don't get one of those guys early on, I tend to try to play the wait for a tight end.
Like, a guy that I'll be looking at over and over if I don't get any of those guys, like a Kenyan Sadiq, and if I can't get anything out of him in week one, then I'll play the waiver wire and try to, to go ahead with the streaming option.
What's your thought process on how tight ends go, and should the 40 And you know, if you're gonna draft George Kittle, you're gonna get him at a discount, for sure.
Like, a 100% discount because people are gonna be scared off from the injury.
What's your philosophy with drafting tight ends?
