00:00So we were talking earlier today about Pete Prisco's top 100 NFL players for 2026.
00:06Three Falcons made the cup.
00:08John Robinson at 17, Chris Lindstrom at 33, Drake London at 96.
00:12So we already agreed that Kyle Pitts should be in the top 100,
00:16but, Bo, you were saying Drake London at 96, way too low.
00:19Where would you put him then?
00:20Well, if Chris Olave is at 71, which wide receiver for the Saints,
00:28and he was drafted in the same class, if Olave is at 71, how the hell is Drake at 96?
00:37And, look, I know that Olave had probably one of his healthiest years last year,
00:43and Drake did miss, what, five games.
00:47But, dude, like, in Drake's 12 games, he was on pace for almost the exact same year.
00:54I just don't know how some guys that have had good years and then go through injured years
01:00are all the way up there, and then Drake is all the way down.
01:05I just don't know, and I'd like to ask.
01:06I know Dylan reached out to Pete, and I'd just like to know what the reasoning behind that was.
01:12Why is Drake so low?
01:14Because as a career-wise, Drake has outperformed Chris Olave.
01:17And that's exactly what I was about to say.
01:20When you compare their career-wise, and, Bo, you made the point earlier when we were talking about this,
01:24the 620, how he does kind of also take into account their cumulative careers
01:30and what they've done over their entire career, not only just, you know, last season.
01:36If you're looking at their careers as a whole, it's not even close, man.
01:40So, the fact that you have Drake barely cracking the top 196 and Olave at, what'd you say, 71, Bo?
01:47I mean, that just doesn't make any sense to me.
01:49At least they need to be closer to each other, and if you're going to have Olave all the way
01:54up there,
01:54Drake at least needs to be at 75.
01:56I mean, at the least.
01:57But he should be ahead of him.
01:59Well, talk about it like this.
02:00Why is T. Higgins below Chris Olave?
02:02And look, I love Chris Olave.
02:03I was a huge, I actually wanted Olave out of the draft when they, when, when, because
02:08he was in the same rookie class as Drake, and I was like, man, I don't understand that.
02:15Why would they get him over Olave?
02:18But you look at Olave, I mean, Olave in 24 had 32 catches.
02:22Now, he had a good year in 23 for as much as he played, but he's battled so many injuries
02:29with the concussion stuff has been very, very scary for him, and I hate that.
02:34But, you know, I just think Drake's, I think, I think T. Higgins and Drake are both better
02:40than Olave.
02:41So, I'm sure Pete would say, well, you know, he had 1,100 in 23, and he had a, he
02:48had just
02:49over 1,000, and Drake's only had 1,000 yards a year.
02:51And I would say, okay, I can, that's cool, but he's not the better receiver.
02:59I don't think any, and, and, and he's probably going to get paid more because resetting the
03:03market and those types of things.
03:06And Drake was the last guy to get paid, but I don't, I don't, I personally don't think
03:10he's below, um, I don't, I don't think Drake is below him.
03:13Not that far anyways.
03:14And I do wonder if Pete takes into account, not only the numbers that they put up, but
03:19the type of numbers that they put up with the quarterbacks they have, because Chris Olave,
03:23you know, did have some years with what Derek Carr.
03:25I don't, I think he, uh, missed Drew Brees overall, but, um, he had some, he had some
03:29years with where Derek Carr, who's a pretty darn good quarterback in his own right, was
03:32throwing him the football.
03:33And we know what Drake has been through as far as his quarterback plan.
03:36He's been quarterback proof up until this point in his career.
03:38So I wonder if he takes that into account at any point as well too, because I think it
03:42should be.
03:43When you talk to Pete, can we get a whiteboard explanation of how he mathed everything on
03:48this list?
03:48We need to see everything that went into it.
03:49Like your teacher makes you show your work.
03:51Yeah.
03:51Right.
03:52Yeah.
03:52I like, yeah.
03:54Well, yeah, because then we know they're not cheating.
03:56Exactly.
03:57But I'd like, I've known Pete, uh, for quite a while.
04:02So I've been in business.
04:02I'm not like we're best for him.
04:03I've just known Pete, you know, kind of know how he goes about things.
04:06He does, he does do everything he can to watch stuff and talk to people.
04:12Um, and look, that doesn't mean he's not wrong.
04:14Uh, and that doesn't mean I can't disagree with him, but he, he tries to go about it.
04:20But, you know, very intelligently and, and, and look, I don't think he was wrong on everything.
04:26Um, you know, there's, there's, I think, I think he actually underrated Drake and overrated
04:31Lindstrom.
04:32Really?
04:32So where do you think, cause he's at 33.
04:34So where should Chris Lindstrom be?
04:36I think further down because to me, the, I love Lindstrom.
04:42It's nothing, it's not a knock.
04:43Like he, he does a very good job, but I, I just feel like the scheme that he's been
04:48in has, um, has fit him perfectly.
04:52And so therefore I, I, I think Matthew Bergeron can fit in most schemes.
04:59Will he, will he be all pro in most of them that not necessarily, but I think he can be
05:05good.
05:05Um, Lindstrom has been all pro at the wide zone blocking scheme and that's great, but
05:12I'm not sure if he can transcend multiple schemes.
05:15And, and, and I think that does, and Mike will tell you, and that's one thing I've learned
05:18from Mike is certain guys schemes just make them way better than, or I don't want to say
05:25way better, but they excel in certain schemes.
05:27It gets the best of the best out of them.
05:29Um, but at times I've seen Chris Lindstrom and look, everybody has guys they struggle
05:34with, but at times he's, he's been just okay.
05:38And I don't know if last year he quite had it in my mind and all pro year.
05:42Do you think he'll be higher next year?
05:44What kind of season are you looking forward to with him?
05:46You know, I don't know.
05:46I think it's interesting because I think he can do the gap scheme stuff, which, you know,
05:51more, more pullers and that kind of thing.
05:53But he, I always go back to what he said a couple of years ago.
05:58Or maybe it was last year where he was like, Hey, we do what we're good at.
06:01And that's what we, and that's what the wide zone is.
06:04And I'm just wondering how comfortable he would be and how comfortable he will be in
06:08this scheme.
06:09Um, but he's got one of the best offensive line coaches that there, that is in the league
06:15and Dwayne Ledford was no slouch either, but with Bill Callahan, you know, he's, he's
06:20also a pretty good O-line coach and for a different scheme, I'm just curious how that's
06:25going to work out, but remember you're also affected by who's next to you.
06:30And with Juwan Taylor at right tackle, another new guy at right tackle for him to be next
06:35to, um, that could affect him as well.
06:37Well, and I am purposely holding on to Bajon Robinson because there was a heated debate
06:42in this studio a few months ago about Ronald and Bajon and Bo, you claim Bajon is the number
06:48one player in the NFL and he's at 17.
06:51So we got to dig into him a little bit.
06:52We'll do that at eight o'clock because coming up next, it's halftime.
06:55We've got the weekend wrap up all the stories you may have missed as you are enjoying your
07:00weekend.
07:01We've got them for you next on sports radio, 92, nine, the game and the Odyssey app.
07:11Now, now, your game traffic powered by Ken Nugent, Georgia's law firm.
07:15One call, that's all.
07:17Go to callken.com.
07:18That's allken.com.
07:21So far, Russia, not much of a burden.
07:24We did have a crash on northbound 7585 right around John Lewis Freedom Parkway, briefly
07:30was in that left lane.
07:31That's gone.
07:32We're just seeing a tiny, tiny delay there.
07:34Also, some delays along I-20, Westbound I-20, Covington Highway over towards Panola Road.
07:39And apparently, the lights are messed up.
07:41It's blocked due to power lines down on Peeler Road between Charing Drive and North Petrie
07:47Road.
07:48I'm Lori Houston with Odyssey, Atlanta traffic.
