Hello and welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast Rookie Snapshot series. This is episode

0:06.1

three where Yahoo draft analyst Eric Ed Holm and I will discuss quarterbacks. And, you know,

0:13.3

there's a lot of drama, Eric, around this particular position as of late. I think it probably

0:18.9

all started when San Francisco moved up. Definitely,

0:22.5

there are presumptions being made about who will be the third overall selection. I think there

0:29.0

should be some questions about why it's automatically assumed someone will be going at the number

0:34.6

two spot, which seems a little bananas to me, but we'll get there.

0:43.7

So maybe this isn't the biggest focus on like fantasy outside of Superflex and Dynasty leagues, but, you know, after Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow broke onto the scene last year,

1:36.9

You know, Herbert was a surprise last year to some.

1:40.0

You know, Burrow obviously gets injured.

1:42.7

You know, Tua's story was unusual. I can't wait

1:45.3

till we can fast forward a year from now and kind of look back at this class because five

totally different talents. Absolutely. Well, you mentioned Trevor Lawrence and I think he is

1:54.1

the name that everybody knows whether they follow college football, fantasy football or football
