Rich Rebar pushed back on the Shuck optimism, stressing that a quarterback who offers zero rushing threatens both real-life and fantasy success in today’s league. Outside of Matthew Stafford, Rebar argued no pure pocket passer has broken through recently, and even Jared Goff had No. 1 overall draft capital insulating him. Shuck profiles as a complete non-factor on the ground—"if he finishes with positive rushing yards it will be amazing"—meaning he must throw 30-plus touchdowns annually to matter in fantasy. Rebar cited the rapid NFL eject button on similar statues like Mac Jones and Kenny Pickett as warning signs. Without top-tier arm talent or mobility, Shuck’s path to sticking as a starter is razor-thin, making him a high-risk dynasty pick despite the draft capital.

Rich Rebar said Jaydon Blue can walk right into 50 receptions as a rookie because Dallas appears content rolling with a three-man committee of Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams for grinder carries while letting Blue handle every change-of-pace and obvious passing situation. Rebar argued the Cowboys’ recent draft history shows a willingness to stay cheap at running back, funneling resources into their pass game instead. That sets up a wide-open target pie behind CeeDee Lamb in what Rebar expects to be an "open offense." Blue’s 4.46 speed, 46 career college catches, and explosive-play profile mirror how undersized backs like De’Von Achane and Bucky Irving immediately produced, giving dynasty managers an inexpensive PPR RB2 with week-winning upside if either veteran breaks down.

Rich Rebar called second-round pick Kyle Williams the perfect mid-second dynasty dart because the Patriots’ depth chart is "extremely nebulous." With Stefon Diggs turning 31 and coming off a major injury, Williams enters 2025 with a realistic shot at 90-plus targets from Drake May, a quarterback Rebar is already "May-pilled" on. He trusts Josh McDaniels’ track record of coaxing production out of his passing games—even when his overall teams disappoint—and likes that Williams can win inside, outside, at the line, and downfield. Given the draft capital and pathway to volume, Rebar views Williams as a high-floor asset who could moonshot in value if Diggs declines or misses time.

Rich Rebar poured cold water on the Milrow enthusiasm, arguing NFL teams no longer grant multi-year leashes to quarterbacks who cannot throw consistently. He pointed out that Anthony Richardson (pick 5) and Justin Fields (first-rounder on team 3) still face job-security questions despite superior passing resumes. At Day-2 draft capital, Milrow looks more like Malik Willis—a fun preseason DFS play but unlikely to hold long-term value once defenses force him to win from the pocket. Rebar’s advice: take the spike in trade value after Milrow’s first start and cash out before the league adjusts.

Rich Rebar admitted he took Jack Bech strictly because Day-2 draft capital forces the issue, but he warned dynasty managers not to overpay. Rebar compared Bess’s role at LSU to a glorified move tight end—manufactured touches, jet sweeps, and very little true wide-receiver tape. That lack of man-coverage wins worries him in the NFL where spacing is tighter. With Brock Bowers already soaking up schemed looks and Davante Adams still demanding volume, Bess must wait for Jacoby Myers to exit in 2025 before a starting spot even opens. Rebar labeled him a hold-your-nose pick whose best-case scenario is a 2026 slot share, advising listeners to shop the selection aggressively if anyone in their league is chasing draft capital.

Rebar grabbed mid-first-round receiver Emeka Egbuka at 1.10, calling Tampa Bay a sneaky-good landing spot. Baker Mayfield averaged just 6.6 yards per attempt and a 73 passer rating on 170 dropbacks without Mike Evans or Chris Godwin last season, underscoring how desperately the Buccaneers needed a third option—and how quickly Egbuka could become the first. Evans has endured hamstring issues four straight seasons and Godwin has finished one full campaign since 2018, making this the oldest and most injury-prone WR tandem in the league. Rebar believes Egbuka’s talent combined with inevitable volume spikes when either veteran misses time offers an immediate fantasy floor with long-term WR1 ceiling once the vets age out or leave in free agency.

Rich Rebar urged caution on Jackson Dart, citing the brutal track record of quarterbacks taken 20th overall or later. Since the NFL expanded to 32 teams, only Lamar Jackson and Aaron Rodgers have truly hit from that bucket, while names like Kenny Pickett, Paxton Lynch, Johnny Manziel, and Jordan Love (three-year wait) highlight the minefield. Rebar warned that if Dart is mediocre in his first handful of starts, dynasty GMs will be stuck holding a rapidly depreciating asset. In a tight-end premium league, he prefers flipping the pick for a high-capital tight end such as Tyler Warren whose "currency lasts longer" than a potentially short-leashed passer.

Rich Rebar stuck with TreVeyon Henderson at 1.06 even after a less-than-ideal landing spot. Rebar argued Henderson does not need 250-plus carries to smash because he brings true home-run ability and proven receiving chops that "change the fabric of a passing game." He contrasted Henderson’s profile with Quinshon Judkins, who he believes must pile up raw volume to matter. Citing Antonio Gibson’s per-touch success and subsequent coaching misuse, Rebar expects the new staff to feature Henderson immediately and leave Gibson as depth. First-round draft capital plus a three-down skill set gives Henderson legendary ceiling in dynasty formats despite a likely sub-workhorse carry count.

Rich Rebar pushed back on the Ward enthusiasm, framing him as a likely long-term QB2 who "moonlights as a QB1" at best. He noted Ward’s archetype lacks elite rushing or explosive passing upside, and the modern NFL is ejecting from mediocre first-round quarterbacks faster than ever (citing Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Kenny Pickett, Anthony Richardson, etc.). Because dynasty managers must decide after Year 1 whether to hold or sell, Rebar advised exploring every trade option when on the clock instead of automatically taking Ward, especially in leagues where trading is difficult.

Rich Rebar grabbed Omarion Hampton at 1.02 because he values true RB1 upside over positional scarcity at quarterback. Hampton already handled a massive workload for two seasons at North Carolina, flashed pass-catching chops, and received Round-1 draft capital from a Steelers staff that "we know wants to run the football." Rebar acknowledged Najee Harris could be a temporary thorn, comparing the situation to Trey Benson behind James Conner last year, but argued the risk of a one-year wait is outweighed by Hampton’s size-speed profile and path to legendary upside in an offense built to feature its lead back.
