| 0:36.1 | heading into the 2025 season. Welcome to FFT Express. I'm Jamie Eisenberg. That's Dan Schneier. We're looking at find out who Dan Schneier does not like heading into the 2025 season. |
| 0:38.5 | Welcome to FFT Express. I'm Jamie Eisenberg. That's Dan Chen Shire. We're looking at Dan's bus list, five players. He's probably avoiding, I guess, unless they fall to the right spot. We'll find out Dan's take on guys like Chase Brown, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Ken Walker. Man, you don't like the Seahawks. |
| 0:52.1 | Alvin Kamara and Chris Godwin. |
| 0:54.0 | Dan, let's start with Chase Brown, |
| 0:55.3 | the number one player on your bus list. |
| 0:57.6 | When would Ken Walker, man, you don't like the Seahawks. Alvin Kamara and Chris Godwin. Dan, let's start with Chase Brown, the number one player on your bus list. |
| 0:57.6 | When would you take Chase Brown? |
| 0:59.4 | What concerns you about him for this upcoming season? |
| 1:02.0 | Let me start by saying it's a fade list, Jamie, kind of like what Adam was supposed to get for St. Jude a couple years ago, but refused to for no good reason other than his wife had an important phone call at the time, quote unquote, important phone call. But as far as what Chase Brown scares me, I feel like the perfect, everything had to break perfectly for him to have the season he had last year. Zach Moss, who was supposed to be a big part of that, his backfield had to get injured. The Bengals had to have no one in, no one they drafted in the middle rounds or anything like that to replace him with. They traded for Herbert. It was too late. He couldn't grace him. Now they brought in Taj Brooks, so I really like his film. And I think they have a plan at running back here. And I'm not so sure the role will be the same for Brown. So that's the starting point there. The second part of it is, while I did like him a lot, last year was one of my favorite draft picks, he was on a lot of my teams. And I called him as a sleeper here. I liked him when I could get him at that price point. Now with a price point in the mid 40s, like this just feels like we're buying him at his peak. So it's almost like a situation where I don't necessarily see the ceiling being reached again. And so I don't want to be the guy to draft them as far as where I'd be |
| 1:44.6 | comfortable drafting him, |
| 2:03.1 | more like round six range. where I don't necessarily see the ceiling being reached again. |
