How to win $500,000.

0:13.9

That's what we're talking about this week on stealing bananas.

0:16.4

I'm Ben Gretsch, joined as always by Sean Siegel.

0:19.5

And our guest this week is Davis-Manick.

0:29.3

And we're going to join our draft in progress now.

0:34.1

Gretch, I want to hear your Hawkinson case.

0:37.7

Well, I mean, it's pretty much pure volume.

0:41.0

And Sean landed out actually in a recent article really well, too.

0:43.5

But I just did my line's projection.

0:46.0

I projected them to essentially a lot more extreme in their rates than I normally do in a

0:52.8

projection in the sense that my overall wide receiver target share for them was under 50%. I think they could be a team that throws a lot to Hawkinson and Swift, because basically they just sort of realize that those are their two best players.

And then all the receivers they do have, these vertical threats doesn't really necessarily match with Jared Gough. They're like Paramount, Tyro Williams, even Seafis last year had a high A-DOT. They brought in like Khalif Raymond who might play rotationally. All these guys are like vertical threats. I don't know what their passing game is going to look like because Gough has not been very good vertically in the last several years. and McVeigh was sort of neutering his offense to throw underneath for golf.

1:32.9

But what that will do probably is, you know, if they design their offense a certain way,

1:37.5

is, you know, clear out some of the safety stuff and potentially just open up gobs and gobs

1:42.4

and gobs of targets for Hawkinson.

1:44.7

I see lots of four for 45 games for T.J. Hawkinson, which is the concern.

1:50.6

Four for 45 on eight on like eight or nine targets.

1:54.7

I don't know.

1:55.5

Like, and I even think he's really good.

1:57.4

Like, I'm not, my criticisms are not even leveled to him as a player, but it's just like,
