Episode 77: Exotic Smashmouth Teacup Ride with Danny Kelly

After a failed recording of reactions to the NFL draft a couple weeks ago, host Greg Smith is re-joined by The Ringer's Danny Kelly (@DannyBKelly) for a second attempt at podcast glory. They kick things off with a brief discussion about the impacts of contract-years and holdouts on fantasy evaluations (1:44), then Danny explains which of his initial impressions from the draft have changed the most over the past few weeks (4:04). From there, they break down how Brandon Marshall fits in with Seattle (10:18), what to expect from Marcus Mariota and the Titans' new offense (17:57), rookie quarterbacks who might struggle to see the field in year-one (30:02), and which backup quarterbacks might have sneaky value (33:22). The conversation then turns toward improving defenses (39:46), improving offensive lines (47:54), how pass-catching running backs affect quarterback production (50:24), and other offseason moves signaling changes in team philosophies (53:28). The show wraps up with a bunch of head-to-head player comparisons (57:46), with Danny and Greg choosing sides between players valued similarly in ADP like Adam Thielen and Allen Robinson.
