00:00Dan Graziano has made his bold prediction for the Browns and basically it's that he thinks
00:06the the two best receivers on the team are going to be rookies and I thought to myself I don't
00:12know
00:12that's quite how like I don't know how bold that really is it's not that bold I think the bold
00:19the bold stance and it should not be bold is to say Spencer Fano is going to be the best
00:23out of
00:23the out of the rookies and he should be the best because he's the ninth overall pick but that feels
00:27way more bold than saying Concepcion or Denzel Boston yeah I mean considering that Boston and
00:33and Concepcion are going to be like significant playmakers if they don't lead the Browns in
00:39receiving yards I think we either have a really bad problem or like holy crap Jerry Judy had a
00:451200 yard season that no one saw coming and the Browns threw for 5,000 yards yeah it's like Jerry
00:49Judy resurrected two years ago Jerry Judy so now we're we're sitting in a good spot yeah and I mean
00:54it's got to be Concepcion it's got to be Boston because of the opportunities now Fano's
00:57going to have a lot of opportunities they'll have chances it's just I don't think anyone's
01:00expecting him to out of the gate be Joe Thomas yeah and I I think I think the only thing
01:06and
01:06I know we talked a little bit about this yesterday I think the only thing that could happen if
01:10you have stock in any of these Browns players and from the fantasy perspective is that there
01:17is hey they spread the ball around a lot and everybody has like you know seven to eight
01:21hundred yard seasons by the way is is kind of what my friends in the desert are doing with
01:26their over-under lines and they don't go to as high as seven eight hundred it's more like six
01:30seven hundred uh for each Concepcion in Boston and so like and even Harold Fannin by the way same
01:35thing in there I was really funny the other day we had that discussion about will Harold Fannin get
01:38a thousand yards or not and it felt like you said yes both morning guys said yes and I think
01:43Ken
01:43actually walked it back and said 900 yards is where he was at with Harold Fannin not the point the
01:48point is is that I think most fans would say yes to a thousand yards but Vegas has it at
01:52like
01:53750 800 you know it's not it's not like uh which is still an awesome season by the way
01:58it's still a great season there was 13 teams last year that didn't have a thousand yard receiver on
02:03their roster 13 teams I mean like the it's not a given that you get to a thousand I think
02:07for some
02:08reason fans and I don't know if this is the fantasy football culture to it all I'm not sure what
02:12it is
02:12I think people just believe a thousand yards happens in the snap of a fingers I think they also think
02:16with running backs because the top end can get a 1500 yard season like James Cook last year that
02:21everyone is going to end up with 1500 yards and that's just not how it works that is where I
02:26get
02:26to make what I think is an actual bold prediction with love and respect to Dan Graziano he does a
02:31fine job for the four-letter network I think the bold prediction on offense if you're looking anywhere
02:35is Quinshawn Judkins being a top five rusher this season I that is a bold pick I'm talking just from
02:42rushing yards so that's a it's a very bold pick I don't know receiving yards because they do have
02:47Samson and they've got a bunch of guys think they're getting involved here I if if Quinshawn
02:51plays 15 or more games I don't think it's a question that he is going to have prolific
02:56production because I think they're just going to run the hell out of the ball I think that's the
02:59one thing I know they're going to do well this year I would imagine they're going to run a lot
03:02I don't disagree with that at all I I just I I don't know with his offensive line that he's
03:07going
03:07to get there I mean last year if the idea that we know or we think Quinshawn can be good
03:11based off of the offensive line was so bad and he had to look at what he did after he
03:15got touched
03:16and that number was good but it's very much I mean it's it's very much an Aston Gentry situation
03:22as of right now like we still have we still are yet to see him actually put that production out
03:26there
03:26yeah I mean it's it's one year it's kind of my rebuttal and I think he showed you a lot
03:32of the raw
03:32clay of being a top 10 top 15 rusher in the NFL last year he you if you might not
03:38remember this I
03:39won a Travion Henderson and he went I think three or four picks after Quinshawn did and I thought the
03:45Browns made a mistake and then I watched that kid run and I think it is fair to say I
03:51do remember
03:51you wanting Henderson I think the difference between a thousand yard season for Quinshawn and a
03:561300 yard season I do think that could be the difference between the offensive line being good
04:01and not good but I think he's gonna have I I would be surprised if we're not talking
04:0711 to 1200 yards at the very least for Quinshawn again if he's healthy you always have to say that
04:12yeah and and at least four yards per carry oddly enough him and and Henderson had a very similar
04:18profile last year and they were very different in one regard uh Travion had 911 yards 827 for
04:25Quinshawn Travion got in the end zone nine times Quinshawn got in the end zone seven times
04:29it's just Travion was averaging over five yards a carry and where Quinshawn took a big hit in a lot
04:34of this discussion is he had a bad offensive line so he averaged 3.6 yards per attempt and
04:38everything he had to do was after he got contact on him which is why I think he profiles out
04:43for
04:43obviously having a big season because the after contact numbers were so high but he still has to
04:48be able to exist and I mean top five running back Nick you're looking at 13 1400 yards I think
04:53that's
04:53incredibly doable with how this is set up like I I would be disappointed if Quinshawn isn't in that
04:59conversation if there if he if he didn't play again 15 to 16 games this year I mean the top
05:05five
05:05running backs last year is James Cook Derrick Henry Jonathan Taylor B. John Robinson and HM
05:10where'd he come from he came from Monk and came from Baltimore look at the usage of Derrick Henry
05:15and I know they they've also used Justice Hill and they've used uh Keaton Mitchell who's now in LA like
05:20all five of those guys though were averaging five yards a pop last year in each carry like he's going
05:25to have to have a significant difference and and some of that stuff when it comes to running backs is
05:29out of your control as evidenced by last year well but I think uh just having a salient again
05:35not a great not even a good just a passable offensive line we're gonna get back to that
05:40word of functional a functional offensive line allows him to get the contact now at at you know
05:46beyond the defensive line side of things you're gonna be able to get into the second level sure
05:51and the the smaller the opponent the more success he's gonna have I actually think we're gonna get
05:56more I think the thing that surprised me about Quinshawn last year was the explosive plays and just the
06:02giddy up gear that he has and I think you're gonna be able to say that see that more this
06:06year with
06:07the design that I think they're gonna try on offense and you know we've talked a lot about
06:13go ahead oh I'm sorry uh but like I forgive you the if the if the basis though is he's
06:18gonna get
06:18more opportunities and more chances is that part of your basis or is it not which part I'm sorry I
06:22did black out for like two seconds the idea that the offense is gonna be so built around him that
06:26he's gonna have more chances than even what we saw last year I think that's one half of it sure
06:29okay
06:30so but he was eighth in the NFL last year in attempts per game like so like he was getting
06:34he was getting top 10 attempts already last year in a year that we saw him only get to 800
06:38so like I
06:39like I don't know how much further he's gonna go I mean year two jumps for running backs happen all
06:44the time I think a new offensive line does give you a chance and I think the the thing we
06:48haven't
06:48mentioned he should look better no one's denying is I think with more explosive players around you
06:53like we can talk about the easiest way to take the heat off uh Quinchon is a bunch of down
06:59the
07:00field explosive plays any explosive plays Casey Concepcion rattling off one 73 yard touchdown
07:06whether it's been from 70 yards from line of scrimmage or 17 yards from line of scrimmage
07:10I think those are the other things that again beyond the offensive line are going to make Quinchon
07:15uh just a much more productive player this year yeah I mean second year in the NFL second year
07:20jumps happen for sure they do I I just don't know that he's going to be top five uh but
07:24he I mean
07:25he's gonna he should look better than he did last year but you got it bold got a real bold
07:29no I like
07:30it that's bold that's ex-pat Spain Nick Wilson right there I can't see the avenue to him being top
07:34five and so that makes it bold there's no denying that I just don't know that I mean his his
07:39attempts
07:39per game is it's it's basically identical to what Bijon got last year in Atlanta I like the his is
07:45there's
07:45so many things that go against him in this conversation for replicating what we consider to be a top
07:49five running back that if he were to do it we'd have to look at it and then say not
07:53only do you
07:53have a guy that's going to be uh one of the best in the NFL for years to come but
07:56he have all pro
07:57one all pro two type territory I have one-upped Dan Graziano I found his bold take rather mild
08:04how bold is it to say Quinchon Judkins will have top five uh rushing production in the NFL in 2026
08:13six
