Welcome back into the Dynasty Nerds podcast. I am your host, Gara Price, here with Andrew Mott. Andrew, how you doing, buddy? Doing good, man. Thank you, uh, you know, for asking me how I'm doing today. I know that's typical around here, but I appreciate it every time. You know what? I'm glad because, you know, I want to make sure you're doing all right, you know, um, you know, we could always pause the video if you're not. You know, we'll just pause it and be like, hey, what's going on? One of these days I might hit you with the, Garrett, I'm not doing good today. So, uh, see how you react. Stop the video. Just stop. Yeah. All right. Well, everyone is doing well today, fortunately. And I'm excited to get into this video here here because this is kind of a fun one as we

0:38.1

get into rookie season kind of trying to understand how we value this class and what we're going to

0:44.1

be looking at is we're looking at our top 29 players from the 2025 class and the 2026 class

0:53.2

now i know 29 is kind of a weird arbitrary number,

0:56.7

but here's the way I look at it. It's basically if we were to redraft the 2025 class today,

1:03.6

here's the players that we would at least consider taking with a first round pick. And same thing

1:09.9

with the 26th class. Here are players that we would at least consider taking with a first round pick. And same thing with the 26th class. Here are players that we would

1:12.1

at least consider taking with a first round pick. So obviously there's going to be some fluctuation.

1:18.1

There'll be three or four guys that one person would have in that another wouldn't. And so it'll

1:22.0

move guys around a little bit. So these are our top 29 players that we would, and how we would rank them and right the way we're doing this is

1:31.6

sometimes we do it based off of how we evaluated them as prospects that's not what we're doing

1:37.1

with the 25 class today we're doing it with everything that we know today their current team

1:42.6

there maybe some of them new head coaches,

1:45.3

new offensive coordinators, how they played last year, all of that kind of stuff. We're going

1:49.7

to consider all of that when making our evaluations here on how we would rank these guys.

1:54.8

So overall, we're not drastically different, but there's definitely a few players, Andrew,

2:02.8

where we have a four to six, you know, spot gap in how we, we see these guys. So yes, we're going to be fairly uniform

2:10.0

and actually our top five are identical. Deadlocked. Deadlocked there. But then once we get to six,

2:16.4

it starts to get a little different and

2:18.0

get switched up a little bit. How difficult was this exercise for you as far as taking known

2:25.8

entities and trying to place them with unknown? I think that's the thing is like when you throw

2:31.8

2026 into the mix, we're trying to do a lot of projection
