00:00Let's preview this team and let's start at quarterback. Joe. Yeah, well, it turns out
00:07the Packers weren't a welfare case after Brett Favre left. See what I did there. And it turns
00:12out that the Aaron Rodgers departure wasn't the end of the Green Bay Packers either. In
00:17fact, it was the beginning of a new for the Green Bay Packers, Jordan Love, who many were
00:23skeptical. Why did they draft Jordan Love? Why did they spend the draft capital? Well,
00:27turns out the floor in the Packers knew exactly what they were doing because they got their
00:30next franchise quarterback because he wasn't good. He was great last year down the stretch
00:35did not turn the ball over a guy that went 20 with three interceptions to touchdowns
00:41in that span. Unbelievable span for him in the second half of the season where he really
00:45looked extremely confident. And now the hope is that you get a healthy Christian Watson
00:50in 2024. That goes a very long way for this team because Christian Watson is the most
00:56talented wide receiver. You had Jaden Reed show that he was very versatile. A guy that
01:00could show up in the red zone. Romeo Dobbs is another solid wide receiver. Also, don't
01:04forget about Dontavian Wicks. Another guy who's a splashy playmaker guy. They have four
01:09very viable wide receivers and Jordan Love looked very confident last season. Also, two
01:14very capable tight ends Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft. Now, Musgrave is the guy that
01:18you want for fantasy purposes. From the running back standpoint, Josh Jacobs, another one
01:23of these guys that kind of scares me. Typically, again, Derrick Henry is the outlier. Let me
01:27be very clear about that. Every situation has his outlier. Derrick Henry is the outlier
01:31to the situation I'm going to bring you today. When you have running backs getting older,
01:37moving teams, typically it doesn't always go well. We'll talk about Joe Mixon in just
01:41a second. We'll talk about Josh Jacobs here. Jacobs already dealing with some issues. They
01:45also drafted Marshawn Lloyd, who in my opinion is one of the top backs in the draft. And
01:49you've got nothing but incredible praise from La Florence coaching staff about Marshawn
01:53Lloyd. So it's not that Josh Jacobs isn't going to be the starter or the lead guy, but
01:58you can certainly write a script where at some point in the season, maybe Marshawn Lloyd
02:01starts to take over a little bit in that workload or eat into it a little bit. And that could
02:05hurt Jacobs value in the second half. Again, it's not that you can't draft Josh Jacobs,
02:10but his current ADP is a little tough for me to swallow. I'd rather be waiting on guys
02:14like Zamir White or Amandre Stevenson than going and drafting Josh Jacobs. I think that's
02:18a dangerous game to play. But to me, the guy that really stands out is Christian Watson,
02:23a guy that you can draft as wide receiver 40, that could end up as wide receiver 20,
02:27or maybe even wide receiver 15, if everything breaks right. The problem with Watson's been
02:31the hamstring issues. He has had what's called basically an unevenness in the hamstring muscles,
02:38and they continue to pull because of the unevenness, right? It's a condition that actually is-
02:43How do you make it to the NFL and have a condition of uneven hamstring muscles and oh, they keep
02:48getting pulled.
02:49You're an absurdly good talent, but medically, this is what they've diagnosed it with where
02:53it was a muscle issue. And now he is working specifically to even that out.
02:58I got a muscle issue for you too.
03:00Hey man, this is what happens when you constantly put the right foot forward. If you're Christian
03:03Watson, eventually that right foot, it just gets so much stronger than the left. I don't
03:07know. All I'm telling you is Christian Watson's a guy that's going too late in drafts. Christian
03:11Watson is a guy that can well outperform his ADP. And that's how you win leagues. Drafting
03:15guys at wide receiver four who become threes, threes who become twos, twos who become ones.
03:19That's how it rolls.
