Episode notes
Raiders Context Matters For Jack Besh
- Jack Besh's poor early usage reflects broader Raiders offensive issues rather than solely his talent.
- Hold or buy only at a significant discount and re-evaluate late in the season.
Don't Pay Draft Price For Caleb Johnson
- Avoid chasing Caleb Johnson at draft cost given Arthur Smith's usage patterns and current Steelers pecking order.
- Consider buying only if you can acquire him at a late second/early third discount or multiple seconds.
Hold Royals; Buy Only At Low Cost
- Hold Jalen Royals if you drafted him in the third round; his opportunity may come next year once roster pieces clear.
- Use a third-round buy-in window to acquire him cheaply from disgruntled owners.
