| 0:00.0 | 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, |
| 0:48.9 | maybe we should take these players more seriously. |
| 0:51.0 | And there are additional pieces that they could potentially lift as in the |
| 0:57.6 | current NFL, rookies aren't really, you know, set to learn behind anyone. They're pretty much |

| 1:28.3 | You know, it's exciting to think about how many young players will get to see. |
| 1:32.6 | And a year from now, we'll be able to say, all right, this player is clearly ahead of the rest. |
| 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 |
| 1:49.7 | 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 |
| 2:00.2 | in general. I mean, it's hard |
| 2:01.5 | to not know who Trevor Lawrence is. Everything about him is so big from his stature to his |
