(13:16) Elsewhere in the NFC West, Los Angeles Rams Head Coach Sean McVay said , "We feel we've got three really good backs." "What we wanted to do was get a group that we felt really good about ...

Matt and Dalton also debate some players they disagree with from their rankings; specifically, their running backs (24:02) like J.K. Dobbins and Derrius Guice, and tight ends like T.J.
