prepared okay especially the last one I'm going to mention a lot of are high on him. He's got a really high ADP this year.

This is the channel, okay? Now, you could pre-order the 16 rounds for the lowest price of the year, 16 round drafts, so I should give you all my optimal players, sleepers, breakouts, multiple players. That's gonna be first released to me, but you can get in right now. I've linked it below, top pin comments, you get in for the lowest price, 25% off right now, get in and get your login, and you're all set. So when I release it, you'll be first to get access to this, okay? 16 rounds, subscribe, turn on bell, let's roll with it, okay? So the first wide receiver that you need to avoid at all costs is Mike Evans. Now, why? Why would I avoid him? Well, I mean, for me, it's all about age.

1:45.5

32 years old. He's going to be a free age in 2026, but he's probably not going to be with the Buccaneers. If he is, I'd be really, really surprised. He's entering his 13th season. That alone, I don't even need to get into the fact that he didn't finish last year. You played eight games, 30 receptions, okay?

2:03.4

360 yards, sucks, okay? And he always, he kind of gets hurt. Like, if he's been pretty durable throughout his entire crew as a whole, but lately, you know, you see the injuries here in their last year as a perfect example, banged up. Okay? He is currently sitting as like wide receiver 25 on the sheep rankings, but I don't,

2:06.5

I don't trust them. Guys, you got to look at youth. You got to look at upside. Got to look at opportunity. We've seen the best that Evans can produce. Okay, this guy was what drafted in, what,

2:12.6

2014? That's what I mean? Like, he's entering his 13th season. So guys like Mike Evans, they just don't appeal to me. The DeAndre Hopkins of the world don't appeal to me. These older receivers, Stefan Diggs, doesn't appeal to me. I'm looking for youth, opportunity, upside, hunger. All the metrics. And Mike Evans does not fill that. So be aware if you're considering drafting Evans this year, be aware and don't do it. Number two, now this player I think sucks. And I'll tell you

2:40.1

who it is, is Cortland Sutton sitting as wide receiver 27 right now, finished as wide receiver

2:45.6

22 last year. So the sheep already are kind of bringing them down a little bit. They're kind of assuming that he's going to have a decline or just isn't going to be good. Now, he did a social media post, I would say a couple days ago from the time that's recording, where he said, I don't know what the exact quote was, but there's something like this season's over or this saga is over or something. I don't know what it said, but basically saying that this chapter is over,

3:08.5

hinting that he might be released from the Broncos. Now, I looked at his contract. He did sign that

3:14.9

four-year-old $92 million, which is crazy. Why sign a 29, 30-year-old receiver who's had

3:21.1

what, only like 3, 1, one thousand yard receiving season, and this was

3:24.9

the third year he had over a thousand yards, you know, in his entire career. And he's just,

3:30.9

he's played multiple. He's been in the league for a long time. And so the four year 92 million

3:36.3

for a guy who's 30 years old is crazy. Absolutely not. It's nine, yeah, nine seasons, going to his

3:42.1

ninth season age 30. So a guy only three, 1,000 yard seasons, like eight to nine years. That's not

3:49.7

good, right? And he's got an out on his contract. Like I said, the 92 million four years, he's got an
