| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football podcast. |
| 0:04.7 | We are doing an additional rookie snapshot edition. |
| 0:08.0 | I told you that Eric Ed Holman and I weren't done covering rookies. |
| 0:12.1 | And so Matt Harmon is gone today. |
| 0:14.7 | I tapped our Yahoo Sports draft expert Eric Edthold to come on back. |
| 0:19.1 | And let's discuss some of these rookies that were drafted |
| 0:22.5 | after round two, not the biggest names necessarily. Thanks for coming back, Eric. I'm glad to be here. |
| 0:28.2 | I'm glad we can squeeze in at least one more of these puppies. Are you ready to flex some fantasy |
| 0:33.0 | muscle here? I think I could do it. Yeah, I mean, I average about fifth, sixth place in most of my league. So I'm always a little bit competitive and a little |
| 0:42.6 | underwhelming. I'm like the, you're like the Jeff Fisher teams of fantasy football. I mean, |
| 0:48.1 | that's better than Dalton Del Don. So welcome. Let's do it. You said it, not me, right? No, he'll come after me. It's okay. All right. So let's talk about, actually, let me frame it this way. When the Raiders selected Henry Ruggs, the first wide receiver off the board, what did you initially think? |
| 1:07.3 | I thought it made sense from a, you know, obviously, if you want to go back and look at the history of the franchise from an Al Davis sense, but, you know, obviously if you want to go back and look at the history of the |
| 1:11.7 | franchise from an Al Davis sense, but, you know, it didn't stun me that they wanted to add some juice |
| 1:16.7 | and add juice in the form of a guy who can, yeah, he can catch the long ball, but he can also take |
| 1:21.9 | a little hitchh route and go 80 yards with it too. So I thought that home run hitting ability was going to be real attractive to him. |
| 1:28.4 | I just, I didn't know if they'd have to move up for him. |
| 1:31.4 | There was some talk that maybe he'd go even earlier than that. |
| 1:33.8 | So it was tough to project if Ruggs was actually going to be there for them to pick. |
| 1:37.9 | But I thought it made some sense. |
| 1:39.9 | Well, remember when we spoke and we did the first rookie or the wide receiver rookie snapshot, we were, I think, both thinking that either C.D. Lamb or Jerry Judy might make more sense in that offense |
| 1:50.1 | because of their versatile skill set, whereas Henry Ruggs is much more, admittedly, than a home run hitter or a speedster. |
| 1:55.6 | Yeah. |
