What Went Wrong? Re-Evaluating Jeanty, Irving, Jefferson & MHJ | The QB List Podcast

Re-Evaluating 2025's Biggest Fantasy Disappointments to Find 2026's Value Floors

Episode Summary: We are changing up the tempo to give you maximum analysis in a tighter window! In this edition of the QB List Podcast, hosts Jay Felicio and Brett Ford roll up their sleeves for an official post-mortem on a few massive post-draft narratives. Looking back at the 2025 landscape, the guys diagnose exactly what went wrong for four major names, look at the coaching overhauls, and figure out how to exploit the public market reactions before draft season hits full steam.

What We Discuss:

  • The Ashton Jeanty Dilemma: How bad was the Las Vegas situation under Pete Carroll? Jay previews his upcoming offensive line research article and evaluates whether Clint Kubiak’s zone-heavy concept scheme can salvage Jeanty’s first-round ADP.

  • Bucky Irving’s Trap: Differentiating between a talent decline and structural injuries in Tampa Bay. With Sean Tucker taking goal-line carries and Kenneth Gainwell arriving in town, can you safely buy the fifth-round value dip?

  • Justin Jefferson with a Baseline Quarterback: Looking past JJ McCarthy’s historic struggles between the numbers. The guys compare Jefferson’s metrics with Carson Wentz versus McCarthy, and debate passing on wide receiver at the 1.10 turn.

  • Marvin Harrison Jr.’s Real Floor: Jay and Brett clash on the Arizona wideout. Is Harrison a premier bounce-back target after stringing together freak health issues, or does a holding-out Jacoby Brissett and a looming Carson Beck rookie timeline mean you should fade him for guys like Jordan Tyson and Carnell Tate?

  • Signature Random Question: Jay forces Brett to rank his top three kid shows that he will unironically sit down and watch by himself.
