And then Isaiah Pacheco.

Um I believe I took Jacobs over him in the magazine Mock We did together and then you took Pacheco and I, I regret that and I've changed my ranks since then.

Look at Pacheco's, if they don't bring back mckinnon, I mean, if he's become Patrick Mahomes is receiving down back, he's right there in the conversation after those big five with Derek Henry Barkley Kyron Williams.

And then you're right there, Pacheco in my humble opinion.

Yeah, I've actually, um, you know, I think, I think I'm kind of on Pacheco Island right now, but I've got him as like my RB six.

I don't, you know, I talk about, you know, we've mentioned a couple of other big off season winners.

He's, he's about as big as it gets right.

Like they haven't, they have yet to add any meaningful competition for him and they were riding him down the stretch last year.

Like it's not, it's not like he was breaking off, you know, 200 yard game after 200 yard game.

But, um, he's, he's thrilling to watch.

It is a high scoring team.

It is an offense that is presumably going to be better.

And like, I don't know if mckinnon's even going to change that much for me if they, if they resign him because of that, we're not talking about a ton of touches there.

Um, I, I think Pacheco is gonna be, I don't know, I don't, I don't, as long as he stays healthy, um, through training camp, through the preseason, I don't, I don't really see a way that I'm, I'm not gonna have him on like 70% of my rosters unless the rest of the industry just, just lifts, uh, uh, the rank on him because he, he just looks like a filthy steel for me right now.
