00:00We just had a big expert league draft this past weekend, and one of the Steelers that
00:06for me is rising up the draft board in the super flex world is Justin Fields.
00:10I'm just looking at this very practically, which is I'm the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:14Am I trying to resurrect some mid thirties quarterback who looks like he's on the back
00:19end of his career, or am I trying to get reps and get a guy going who could possibly be
00:24the future of the quarterback situation of Pittsburgh and fields is clearly the latter.
00:29And to me, the fields is a guy that I was aggressive on this past weekend and drafting
00:32him as my third quarterback.
00:34And I think other people should start looking at him in this scenario as well, because I
00:38just don't see a scenario here at this point where we keep running out this Russell Wilson
00:42narrative too much longer.
00:43Now maybe I'm wrong.
00:44Maybe we will get Justin Fields to sit for a few weeks, but I don't think it's going
00:48to be very long.
00:49I really don't.
00:50And we keep waiting for Russell Wilson to, you know, get healthy, get right, get on the
00:53field and all that stuff.
00:54To me, I think it's fields opportunity right now to really continue to prove himself.
00:59So far, a lot of good, positive things are coming back.
01:01I don't want to take too much out of, you know, the guys weren't shorts playing football
01:04because it's a different game when they're really coming after you.
01:07But I do think Justin Fields are one of those names, George Pickens, another one of those
01:10names too.
01:11And on the flip side, I think when you're talking about Nico Collins on the Texan side,
01:15I think his ADP is still very suppressed.
01:18I think this is a player that if you look at what he did last year, that he's not getting
01:22enough credit.
01:23Uh, I know Stefan Diggs is there now.
01:24I know there's a lot of concern.
01:25Well, is there enough target share for him to go around necessarily?
01:28And the answer is yes, absolutely.
01:30There is.
01:31This was a guy that finishes wide receiver nine overall, and he's being drafted as wide
01:34receiver 15 or 16 right now.
01:36That's a clear value that I'm going to take every single time.
01:38So Nico is one of those players that right now I think has been a little undervalued.
01:42Not a lot, but just a little because of the uncertainty, maybe a cloudy picture with the
01:46tank tales of the world and Stefan Diggs of the world now also there.
01:50But I think that Nico pretty much proved last year he is the go to guy.
01:54He's the clear number one.
01:55The other guys are window dressing accessories.
01:57All right, uh, Falcons and Dolphins are playing tonight in Miami.
02:02Who do you like on those teams?
