00:00When we look at the next guy on our list, this is the guy that I want to target everywhere.
00:08You're giving me one of the best running backs in the last 10 years in an offense that ran
00:12the football more than anybody else and better than anybody else that had desperate need
00:16for a real three down running back for years and years.
00:19The Ravens aren't messing around anymore.
00:21They brought in the king, Derrick Henry.
00:24And Derrick Henry was a guy that finished second in rushing last year, everybody.
00:27I don't care if it's a PPR league, George.
00:29I don't care yards or yards, touchdowns or touchdowns.
00:33And Derrick Henry is going to get both of them with this Ravens offense.
00:37I am getting Derrick Henry in the second round very often late in the second round.
00:41Sometimes even in the early third, I've been able to snag him in drafts.
00:44It's been unbelievable.
00:46I understand he's 30.
00:47The last guy to lead the league in rushing at the age of 29 or older was Barry Sanders.
00:52That was a while ago, but he's also a hall of fame back.
00:54And so is Derrick Henry.
00:56So George, what's your take on Derrick Henry?
00:57Are you scared off because of the age or are you looking at the king finally getting
01:01a kingdom worthy of his crown in Baltimore?
01:04No, I'm with you on this.
01:07All right.
01:08I am definitely on King Henry.
01:09I think it's going to be a lot of fantasy goodness coming here.
01:13I think Baltimore, in some ways, oh, this is great.
01:16Now we don't have to really risk Lamar Jackson as much at the goal line.
01:18Lamar's going to run like he always runs, but maybe not at the goal line where it's
01:22a condensed field.
01:23All the plays, he's going to get hit to avoid those hits.
01:26I think this is great.
01:27He's on, once again, the best opportunities he's played on.
01:29There's been so many opportunities for him to score, right?
01:33So I love King Henry and I love the fact that he's going lower and lower.
01:37I'll tell you this, Joe.
01:38It's August 10th now.
01:39I think by the time we're truly drafting here in a couple of weeks, his value is going up.
01:44I don't think it's going to stay where it is.
01:46Look, if you go back to 2019, he was RB3, 2020, RB2.
01:51In 2021, he was half a season.
01:53He was still RB16.
01:54In eight games, RB4, RB8 last year, but now he goes from Will Levis to Lamar Jackson,
02:00the MVP.
02:01All the Derrick Henry all day.
