The NFL draft is over. We have a quick recap of day number three on fantasy football today and five.

0:10.9

Welcome to FFT and five. I'm Jamie Eisenberg. That's he's coming. We're wrapping up the NFL draft.

0:15.2

Rounds four, five, six, and seven on Saturday. And one big story that really involves the NFL draft, but didn't exactly involve a rookie with the Dallas Cowboys backfield. Heath, when we're looking at rounds four, five, six, and seven. One wide receiver I know that's stood out to you was Troy Franklin from Oregon, going to the Broncos pick 102 in round four. Very good landing spot. Potential opportunity for him to be a starter right away opposite to Cortland Sutton. So what do you think about this fit, Franklin to the Broncos in round four? I also think very good wide receiver, very good football player. I thought he was a first round pick before the NFL Combine. I thought he was the second round pick after the NFL Combine because that didn't go well. He falls all the way to round four, but he goes to a situation where really Cortland Sutton for maybe one more year,

0:58.1

and Marvin Mims are his only competition for wide receiver targets or his main competition,

1:02.7

and he's paired up with his former college quarterback in Bo Nix,

1:06.3

which I'm a pretty big fan of.

1:08.3

I think we've seen that work out more often than not.

1:11.1

So Franklin's going to be ranked ahead of several day two wide receivers

1:15.3

and maybe even one day one wide receiver for me.

1:18.8

Could be a couple.

1:19.4

I know you mentioned the Panthers pick.

1:22.8

Yeah, Leggette.

1:23.9

Liget and Pearsall, you know, if he's in a crowded situation.

1:26.3

So Franklin might be a better opportunity for him for two guys that were drafted at the back end of round one. Day three saw a lot of running backs come off the board and a lot of competition maybe for some starters. So I'm going to run through a bunch of names. We'll talk about a couple scenarios. So in round four, we had Jalen Wright go to the dolphins. Bucky Irving go to the Buccaneers. Will Shipley go to the Eagles. Ray Davis go to the Bills.

1:48.1

Isaac. So in round four, we had Jalen Wright go to the Dolphins, Bucky Irving go to the Buccaneers, Will Shepley go to the Eagles, Ray Davis go to the Bills, Isaac Gernetto, go to the 49ers, I think I butcher his name again. Grendo. Grendo. Braylon Allen go to the Jets. They also took Isaiah Davis in round five. Adric Estime goes to the Broncos. Rashina Ali goes to the Ravens. Tyrone

2:02.2

Tracy goes to the Giants. Keelan Robinson goes to the Jets. And around six, Kamani Vidal goes to

2:07.7

the Chargers. Joar Jordan goes to the Texans. And Dylan Lobby goes to the Raiders. Of those

2:14.5

running backs that I listed, and there's a lot of them, please feel free to check out CBSports.com for the entire draft tracker where you can sort by position and see all

2:21.7

those running backs. Which of those most likely backups is going to impact the starter in a negative

2:27.4

way? I would go with Jalen Wright first, and I viewed him coming in like, man, I'm not, he's going

2:34.0

to have to be in the right situation because I'm not, he's going to have to be in the right

2:34.5

situation because I'm not sure he can ever be a workhorse back, but he's such a great home run hitter. And he goes to the home run hitter of offenses in the Miami Dolphins. I mean, we saw what A. Chan did in this offense last year. I think Wright can do very similar things. so I do think he could have an impact on
