00:05 Marvin Harrison Sr. was a player that was drafted in the first round a lot in fantasy football,

00:11 of course, with Peyton Manning at quarterback.

00:13 His son on Ohio State is projected to be one of the top three picks in this coming NFL draft,

00:19 and a different player, too.

00:21 Can get deep, can go over the middle.

00:23 Had a fantastic career at Ohio State.

00:27 Given the nature of just how fantasy has turned into a wide receiver league,

00:32 meaning that if you don't have a couple of good ones, you ain't winning fantasy.

00:35 You can get away with no running back sometime, but you can't get away with not having a good wide receiver.

00:39 I wonder if you think that Marvin Harrison's NFL career could even come close to his dad's,

00:45 which was obviously a Hall of Fame career.

00:48 That's a tough thing, and I think we have to be careful of doing that,

00:51 especially in sports punditry, is to know that the sons are not the fathers,

00:55 and the fathers are not the sons, and let's have the conversation about the player.

00:59 Let him stand in his own cleats.

01:01 Joe and I talk about this a lot, and Joe mentions it in his Black Book series

01:05 about comparing players to their peers and then getting a better understanding

01:10 of where they rank within the position.

01:12 So when Davis gave that dynamite insight on how Williams is going to impact how people draft,

01:18 I do believe this player can do the same thing as well.

01:21 And when you start to think about landing spots, and we had a conversation about

01:24 possible quarterback movement, it begins to portend a much bigger conversation

01:28 that I'll throw in Joe's lap as to how do we draft and what we're looking for.

01:34 Am I hitting it on the head with how the Black Book would approach something like this, Joe?

01:37 Yeah, and I would say early and often when it comes to Marvin Harrison,

01:40 because he is possibly the easiest lock we've seen in quite some time.

01:45 I mean, everything with this kid is just right in terms of the head,

01:49 in terms of the feet, in terms of the hands, all of it.

01:52 When you watch the highlights of Marvin Harrison, you see he's open by five yards

01:56 all the time, and it's like he's playing at Ohio State.

02:00 He's playing at a place that's produced wide receiver after wide receiver

02:04 the last few years.

02:05 All of the recent rookies of the year have been from Ohio State.

02:08 Have you seen the trend?

02:09 Get ready to go bet him for rookie of the year as early as you possibly can

02:11 as soon as he gets drafted.

02:13 I think he might land at four for Arizona if the board stays the way it is now,

02:17 and I think it's such a tremendous investment, Craig, for Marvin Harrison on any team,

02:21 wherever he ends up.

02:22 But four to me makes the most sense.

02:23 They need a wide receiver, especially with Hollywood Brown kind of in question

02:27 whether or not he's going to return.

02:29 You have Trey McBride there.

02:30 I think it's a matter of get that big alpha dog wide receiver with Kyler Murray,

02:34 and then maybe he can fulfill the promise of that contract.
