Episode notes
Top-Three Running Back Is Poor Draft Capital
- Drafting a running back at No. 3 is indefensible for roster value and capital allocation.
- Jason Moore argued Jeremiah Love is great but the Cardinals wasted top-three draft capital and $50M guaranteed on a RB despite existing backs and recent re-signings.
Rookie Running Back Class Lacked Day Two Breakouts
- The draft produced almost no day-two running backs with meaningful fantasy upside.
- Andy Holloway noted only one day-two RB (Kalen Black) and overall lack of draft capital correlation to fantasy run-back breaks this cycle.
Raiders' QB Pick Elevates Bowers' Role
- Las Vegas prioritized quarterback with the No.1 AFC West pick and left WR depth thin, boosting Michael Bowers' target share.
- Andy and Jason agreed Fernando Mendoza helps but Bowers becomes TE1 opportunity with few receiver additions.
