00:00 Let's get to the unrealistic candidates. And there are two. And the first one
00:04 is kind of a dream scenario for me because it's, it's unrealistic, but I still think the call
00:11 should be made. And I think teams will call about Ramondre Stevenson averaging just three yards
00:16 of carry this year for the Patriots. And you see that and you're like, man, he's awful. Well,
00:21 last year he was awesome. Caught the ball out of the backfield was a, a dual threat where he's
00:26 running between the tackles ran for over a thousand yards averages for his career, 4.5 yards of carry.
00:32 So he's been effective and it's just been a rough, rough go of it for the Patriots. He's still on a
00:37 rookie contract as another year next year. I doubt Belichick would be willing to move him for
00:43 something that isn't unreasonable. Just what a second round or first round. You're not doing
00:48 that if you're the Bengals, but if you could give up third round pick Ramondre Stevenson,
00:54 I would really seriously entertain that. I don't know if the Bengals would,
00:58 they'd probably be in the four to five range and that's where this becomes unrealistic.
01:02 But a third rounder for a guy like Stevenson, everyone pretends that running backs are easy
01:07 to come by because they come out of nowhere. Sometimes they're still really, really hard to
01:12 get right late in drafts. And we've seen that firsthand and by get right, it doesn't mean
01:17 quality player because I think Chris Evans, Travion Williams, Chase Brown, I think they're
01:21 all going to be quality players or are in Evans and Williams's case, but to be contributors,
01:28 starting level contributors in the passing game, in the running game,
01:31 all of those things, I think Stevenson is that.
