| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. |
| 0:02.0 | Welcome into the Fantasy Pros Football Podcast. |
| 0:04.3 | I'm Ryan Wormley, joined today by Andrew Erickson and by Jake Sealy from The Athletic. |
| 0:08.9 | Guys, we are talking some rookies. |
| 0:11.1 | We are sitting here the week after the NFL draft. |
| 0:13.9 | We finally have landing spots for these guys. |
| 0:15.8 | So we can start projecting out what we expect from them. |
| 0:18.7 | And we're going to talk about guys that we think could be instant impact players as |
| 0:22.1 | rookies. |
| 0:22.5 | We're also going to look at guys that maybe make more sense as long-term investments. |

| 0:55.6 | got to play defense or something crazy like that. Just so we all know this, we are taping this |
| 0:59.7 | earlier in the week. Eric said, how you feel in post-draft? I'm feeling good. I'm excited trying to |
| 1:07.0 | figure out where all these rookies go in the rankings. I feel like I keep second guessing myself on, well, not going to move this guy here. |
