00:00Let's stay in the realm of passing yards, but let's put the filter onto rookies, guys
00:08in their first season.
00:10Let's have that conversation now.
00:11Who stands out?
00:12Well, Caleb Williams right now is at the top of pretty much every rookie board, right?
00:17He was the number one overall pick, so that's how it's going to be.
00:20And you can make a case of why he's minus money on this board at minus 115 because he's
00:24got Keenan Allen, and he's got DJ Moore and Roma Doomsday, and he's got a good opportunity.
00:29He's also playing in Chicago, a place where it's a little tougher to throw the football
00:33than it is Southern California.
00:35Just want to say that.
00:36I want to say that out loud, and I want to say it again for everybody to hear, because
00:39I'm not sold that he should be minus money for this award.
00:43Favorite yes, minus, that I'm not so sure about.
00:46Now, Jaden Daniels is intriguing too.
00:48He's got some capable guys around him on that depth chart.
00:51You've got Terry McLaurin, who's a true number one, in my opinion.
00:54You've also got the opportunity to get guys like Austin Eckler work.
00:58You want to talk about yards after catch, Eckler, if he's healthy enough, can be a huge
01:02asset there for him.
01:03Ben Sinnick, a tight end prospect I like a lot, who could emerge into this offense eventually.
01:08So the commanders are intriguing here.
01:10Bo Nix, I don't understand, except from the cumulative volume of being probably the week
01:14one starter plus 480.
01:16J.J. McCarthy plus 750, again, I don't see him starting week one.
01:22I do think Drake May is going to get every opportunity to start week one.
01:26And I know it's not a very exciting Patriots offense, but it wouldn't surprise me at the
01:31end of the day if maybe Drake May, the more pocket passer, yeah, he's got some good moves.
01:37Yeah, he's nimble in the pocket, but he's not the rusher that Jaden Daniels is, and
01:41he's not quite as maneuverable as Kayla Williams is.
01:44So Drake May could be a guy at the end of the day at plus 1,900 who ends up having the
01:50most passing yards for a rookie at the end of the day.
01:52So keep that in mind.
01:53I think the value on this board is kind of out of whack, yet most value you're getting
01:56on May.
01:57And as long as May starts week one, the Bo Nix argument applies to him and possibly even
02:02a better scenario because he's a better quarterback than Bo Nix by far.
