Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at the score, and we are back with a bang today. Dane Bruegler, the athletic is going to be joining us in a minute here. We're going to get all his thoughts on this year's draft class, including how many quarterbacks he thinks are going to go early, some skill position sleepers, and a bold prediction for the first round. But before we get him in here, I did one final sweep

through my dynasty rookie rankings this week,

and that was after I already published new versions

of my dynasty trade value charts and my redraft rankings last week.

Those are all up to date with the draft just one week away here.

And we'll have a few episodes between now and then to get you ready starting with

today's show so let's get our guest in here making i believe his third appearance on the score

fantasy football podcast arguably the top NFL draft analyst in the industry mr dane brugler

from the athletic and if you haven't checked out the beast which is is his incredible draft preview, I can't recommend it enough. And you can see everything that he has going on.

up until draft night. That's the thing, right? Like the last week or two, there's always a ton

of reports coming out and we just

don't know which reports could be legitimate, which ones might be leaked for a specific reason,

right? Maybe teams or agents are trying to manipulate the process a little bit. So I'm curious,

let's start off with this. You spend all year long talking to people around the NFL and the

college game. What's something concrete that you've heard from a lot of scouts or a lot of people in the know this year? And as usual, we're going to focus on offensive players since they're the most fantasy relevant, of course. But is there an observation about maybe a skill position player that you heard over and over from your sources, something that made you feel very confident that it's true? I think it's as simple as Marvin Harrison Jr. matching the hype.

You know, a lot of times these receivers who they get tabbed early in their careers as, oh,

future first round or future high pick, sometimes a hype, it's easy for it to get out of control.

With Marvin Harrison Jr., it was out of control pretty quickly a sophomore year when it became clear that, okay, this guy is a big time player and the hype kind of ran away with it.

But even with that being the case, because it's hard not to sound hyperbolic with him,
