Player analysis
Player insights
Aaron Jones
PositiveValue57:46
The source identifies Aaron Jones as a better value than Jordan Mason, noting that Jones is expected to handle significant rushing work in addition to passing-down duties. The source emphasizes that Jones is not just a pass-catching back and offers more upside than Mason, especially given the five-round ADP difference.
Insight pageAshton Jeanty
PositiveValue28:02
The source notes that Ashton Jeanty at 31st overall is right around the expected range for his draft value.
Insight pageBijan Robinson
NegativeUsage62:35
Drafting Bijan Robinson in a 10-team league likely precludes taking another running back in rounds two and three, forcing a specific roster construction.
Insight pageBlake Corum
PositiveBreakout64:39
Blake Corum is highlighted as a must-start fantasy running back if Kyron Williams misses time, noting his goal-line usage and potential to be a featured back.
Insight pageBrian Thomas Jr.
PositiveBreakout63:59
Brian Thomas Jr. is cited as having more upside than Quentin Johnston, making him a preferred target for some analysts.
Insight pageBrock Bowers
PositiveBreakout13:57
Despite concerns regarding the Raiders' lackluster offense and quarterback situation, the source remains high on Brock Bowers. He is viewed as having the potential to lead the NFL in targets and receiving yards, with the source noting he could 'absolutely smash' as a rookie even with poor quarterback play.
Insight pageColston Loveland
NegativeValue62:29
Colston Loveland was considered as a tight end option at 32nd overall, but the manager opted against the pick, indicating he was not viewed as a necessary early-round investment.
Insight pageD'Andre Swift
NegativeValue65:28
DeAndre Swift is mentioned as a trade target alongside Quinshawn Judkins, with the source advising a manager to accept the deal.
Insight pageDrake London
PositiveValue20:21
The source views Drake London as a good value at 26th overall in a half-PPR league, noting that he helps build a strong core of pass-catchers.
Insight pageGarrett Wilson
PositiveValue34:50
The source considers Garrett Wilson a screaming value at 46th overall, arguing that even with concerns about his touchdown production, his floor of 12 half-PPR points per game makes him a great pick in the late fifth round.
Insight pageGeorge Pickens
PositiveBreakout19:02
Citing a Cowboys beat reporter, the source mentions that George Pickens is expected to give defenses more fits this year, particularly with his work downfield.
Insight pageIsaiah Likely
PositiveBreakout54:19
The source views Isaiah Likely as a potential breakout player who could be traded if he outperforms expectations. The source suggests drafting him as a high-upside backup tight end, even if a starter like George Kittle is already on the roster.
Insight pageJahmyr Gibbs
NegativeValue65:12
Jahmyr Gibbs is a high-value asset in trade discussions, with the source advising against trading him for low-value packages.
Insight pageJavonte Williams
PositiveValue63:11
Javonte Williams is considered a good pick at 39th overall in round four.
Insight pageJaylen Warren
NegativeUsage70:05
Jalen Warren needs Rico Dowdle to be removed from the depth chart to reach his ceiling, which is estimated at around 11.5 half-PPR points per game.
Insight pageJonathon Brooks
NegativeValue44:01
The source notes they have cooled their jets on Jonathan Brooks but still considers him a good deal at 75th overall as a third running back, citing his potential as a 1A back in the Carolina offense.
Insight pageJordan Mason
NegativeUsage57:15
The source expresses skepticism about Jordan Mason's fantasy outlook, noting that if preseason snap trends continue, he could be disappointing unless he secures a goal-line role. The source highlights that Mason averaged 13 PPR points per game when Aaron Jones missed time last year, but warns of significant risk.
Insight pageJosh Jacobs
NegativeRole3:46
The source notes that Josh Jacobs is facing legal uncertainty following misdemeanor charges, with potential for a suspension ranging from four games to the entire season. Due to this risk, the source advises drafting him no earlier than round five or six, despite his high-end performance history with the Packers.
Insight pageNegativeValue28:18
The source expresses skepticism about drafting Josh Jacobs in the fourth round (33rd overall), noting it feels a bit too soon, though acknowledging it could potentially be a value pick in hindsight.
Insight pageJustin Herbert
PositiveValue53:29
Justin Herbert represents a strong value pick in later rounds, as evidenced by a team drafting him 129th overall in round 13, proving managers do not need to reach for elite quarterbacks if the value is not there.
Insight pagePositiveValue60:57
The source highlights Justin Herbert as one of their favorite quarterbacks and potentially the best value in the draft, noting he was available at 129th overall. The source praises the team build that secured Herbert late after waiting on the position.
Insight pageKyren Williams
NegativeValue26:52
The source suggests that taking Kyren Williams at his current draft position might be too early, advising drafters not to chase a position if the player is worse than others available on the board.
Insight pagePositiveUsage70:26
Kyron Williams is considered a very good player, though Blake Corum is seen as a viable alternative who split goal-line work with him last season.
Insight pageLamar Jackson
PositiveValue39:02
The source highlights Lamar Jackson at 58th overall as one of the favorite picks of the draft, emphasizing that drafting a quarterback is optimal when the value is too good to pass up.
Insight pageMarShawn Lloyd
NegativeSleeper5:13
The source views Marshawn Lloyd as a high-upside target, particularly as a handcuff to Josh Jacobs. While there is concern the Packers might add depth if Jacobs is suspended for six or more games, Lloyd is considered a screaming value in the seventh or eighth round, with the potential to serve as a low-end RB2.
Insight pagePositiveSleeper45:27
The source strongly advocates for drafting Marshawn Lloyd, particularly for managers who drafted Josh Jacobs, citing the historical track record of running backs in the Green Bay offense.
Insight pagePuka Nacua
NegativeValue65:50
Puka Nacua was a draft decision point two years ago when he was dealing with injuries, with the source advising his son to draft him based on rankings.
Insight pageQuentin Johnston
PositiveValue63:43
Quentin Johnston is viewed as a great pick at 79th overall following a 65-yard touchdown catch, though some analysts prefer Brian Thomas Jr. or Courtland Sutton for higher upside.
Insight pageQuinshon Judkins
NegativeValue65:28
Quinshawn Judkins is mentioned as a trade target alongside DeAndre Swift, with the source advising a manager to accept the deal.
Insight pageRhamondre Stevenson
PositiveProjection66:48
Rhamondre Stevenson is considered the safer, must-start play compared to Travion Henderson, especially for managers needing immediate production.
Insight pageSaquon Barkley
PositiveValue19:41
The source considers Saquon Barkley a 'steal' at the 23rd overall pick (third round) in a half-PPR league, suggesting he was drafted way too late.
Insight pagePositiveValue26:47
The source identifies Saquon Barkley as arguably the best pick of the draft at 23rd overall.
Insight pagePositiveValue62:51
The source suggests Saquon Barkley should be taken well ahead of Malik Neighbors, particularly in half-PPR formats, though he is often unavailable at the 19th overall pick.
Insight pageTre Tucker
PositiveSleeper15:11
The source identifies Trey Tucker as an interesting late-round sleeper to target in fantasy drafts, noting that he is a player they intend to draft in multiple leagues.
Insight pageTucker Kraft
PositiveValue47:43
The source considers Tucker Craft a steal at his ADP in the eighth round, noting that his role is locked in despite the signing of Johnnu Smith, provided there are no injury setbacks.
Insight pageNegativeValue61:42
Tucker Kraft was selected 72nd overall in round eight, serving as an example of a team opting for a later-round tight end rather than reaching for elite options.

1:26It's time to dominate your fantasy league. Off to the races, and he stays on his feet.
1:31Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
1:34Happy Friday, everybody. Welcome to the show. We've got a live mock draft that we're about to start.
1:40Adam, Dave, and Jamie here. Jamie will be participating in the draft.
1:44Dave and I will be the people in the Muppets that are heckling from the balcony.
1:49I call Waldorf. I call Astoria. I don't know whatever.
1:52You don't know their names? I don't know his name.
1:55I would expect Heath to not know their names, but you with kids that are young?
2:00Statler and Waldorf. Statler and Waldorf. But I'm calling you Astoria from now on.
2:05How about Azar Statler as a team name? Anyway.
2:07There you go. Yeah, so we're going to talk about Josh Jacobs news and maybe some other stuff from last night.
2:14Some other news and notes. If we don't get to news and notes on this show, we'll get to it on the
2:21mailbag that we're recording later this afternoon. All right, let's get right into it, though.
2:26Josh Jacobs charged with two misdemeanors. He is not officially charged with domestic violence.
2:30Well, no. Right. He doesn't have a domestic violence charge.
2:33He doesn't have a felony charge. I rely, I'm sure you guys do, too, on Drew Davenport of Football Guys.
2:39He's also a practicing attorney who does a good job breaking this down.
2:43And what he basically said, I encourage you to follow him on Twitter.
2:48What he basically said was, the way I read it, if there were no video, this would probably be good news for
2:54Jacobs in terms of avoiding a suspension. But there is, according to the police report, a video that shows him throwing this woman down.
3:02This is his girlfriend. And that is the bombshell that we're waiting to, you know, potentially be leaked.
3:08So what are we doing with Josh Jacobs? Where would you draft him right now, Jamie?
3:13And what about Marshawn Lloyd? What are you expecting here?
3:16I mean, you got to go into this draft weekend or whenever you're holding your draft until we find out what's next
3:23with the idea of a potential suspension, which could be anything from, I would guess, four to four games to the season.
3:30And, you know, there's past, there's history of similar situations with Zay Jones and Von Miller of those two guys getting suspended.
3:37I believe both were misdemeanor charges for something similar or misdemeanor charges.
3:40I know for Von Miller it was. I don't know Zay Jones.
3:44It's just uncertainty. And so because of the uncertainty, the earliest I would draft him right now would probably be round five.
3:51I have him actually in round six. So I'm trying to avoid Josh Jacobs.
3:55And this is coming from somebody who this week drafted him at the end of the third round.
4:01I'm sorry, beginning of the fourth round. Dave? I feel just about the same way.
4:06You have to understand the risks involved. And there are definitely, there's no reason to feel bad about being risk averse when it comes to your fantasy team.
4:15No one wants to draft somebody that they're going to be without potentially for the entire season or even for as few
4:21as, I think, six games might be the minimum and not four.
4:25But we've seen it for these types of charges before, lower than six.
4:29We don't know. No one knows. I don't think Jacobs knows.
4:33I doubt the Packers know. But the Packers said that they do have a plan in place in case something were to happen to Jacobs.
4:41That seems a little more likely now. I am definitely in that round five range.
4:45And it's late round five. I understand the risks involved with drafting Josh Jacobs.
4:50However, this is a spot where I wanted, I don't mind taking a chance on the Packers run game.
4:56And we've seen, LaFleur's been around seven seasons in Green Bay.
4:59One of his backs has finished top 13 in PPR points per game, six of seven seasons.
5:04It was Aaron Jones last season when a Packers running back did not finish top 13.
5:09So my game plan is I'm not actively trying to draft Jacobs, but if he falls in late round five and I
5:16feel like I'm a little light at running back and those are the caveats.
5:21Yes, I will draft Josh Jacobs. And then two to three rounds later, I'm going hard after Marshawn Lloyd.
5:27I want to get him on my team. If I've got Jacobs, I kind of want Lloyd on my team either way.
5:34And I think a lot of people are going to feel that way.
5:38And that means he's going to end up being around eight pick.
5:41He said on X yesterday, he was in his FFT open league.
5:45He Lloyd went with the 11th pick in round seven.
5:48So you're going to see people starting to reach a little bit for Marshawn Lloyd.
5:53And maybe Jamie feels differently than I do. Dave, I just took him this morning.
5:58Me and a guy, I share a team with Mike with the 11th pick of round seven, 80th overall.
6:04So this is good information. Jamie, when would you take Lloyd?
6:07You didn't mention that, did you? It's funny you say that because I went back and looked.
6:13I've been drafting Lloyd in almost every, he's my most rostered player of all the drafts I've done before.
6:18Yeah, sure. And now I would probably take him round eight.
6:22I think round seven is a little too soon.
6:25There's other players there because again, of the uncertainty.
6:28My biggest fear with the potential suspension in relation to Lloyd is they're probably going to go get somebody because I don't
6:34think they go into the season with Lloyd and his track record playing one game in the NFL so far, appearing in
6:41one game in the NFL so far. And Chris Brooks can say that's it.
6:46If this is a season long suspension, if it's a six game suspension, I think they go get somebody.
6:52If it's a four game or less suspension, then they probably just managed through it.
6:56But if this is six plus games, six games or more, I think they're, hey, Giants, Tyron Tracy available.
7:02Hey, Cardinals, James Conner available. Hey, blah, blah, blah, because this is a Super Bowl caliber team.
7:08And knowing that they're so dependent on their run game, whatever you think of Jordan Love, they are a run first team.
7:15Do they feel comfortable enough with a very injury plagued Marshawn Lloyd, whatever you may think of him or going out and trying to fortify their backfield?
7:23So it's not going to take much to get one of these second, third, fourth string running backs of somebody's team to
7:30help their roster, which in the case that that happens, it ruins our fantasy rosters, especially if you're taking Lloyd too soon.
7:37So if it's Connor, if it's Tracy, if it's Jalen Wright, you know, whatever the Sean Tucker, you know, whatever the case
7:44may be of the, of the level of player that you're taking, that will tell you what they think of Lloyd.
7:50But I don't think it's Jacobs misses Lloyd superstar unless again, it's four games.
7:55Yeah. Or unless they don't make a move or the guy they bring in really doesn't scare you.
8:00The names you mentioned, some of them would scare me a little bit, Connor, especially, but I know that I kind of
8:07went on a slight scale there of, of, of how it could go.
8:11Right. Sure. Well, okay. Trey Benson's a free agent, right?
8:15He got cut by Arizona this year. No, he's back on their practice court or he's on their injured list, whatever it is.
8:22Oh, did he waved injured? So he's not even available anyway.
8:25So nevermind that, but they could find somebody that there's going to be cuts this weekend.
8:30They could find somebody off that heap and bring them in.
8:34And I don't think I'd be scared about anybody that they bring in that way.
8:38You know, I trying to fortify the depth. It really comes down to who they add if they add.
8:44And I think you're right. I think they would add somebody, but I don't know if it's going to be a big name guy.
8:52But that's the thing is, I don't think it's, I don't think it's Kyron Williams, Mrs.
8:57Blake Corham. Oh my God. It's very easy to see path to superstardom.
9:01I don't think it's Rondre Stevenson, Mrs. Trevion Henderson, superstar.
9:04I don't know, like Marshawn Lloyd should be in the driver's seat.
9:08He should be the guy that you're drafting. He should have an opportunity to be amazing.
9:13That being said, I don't think the Packers are going to feel comfortable enough with what they have right now to go
9:20into the season if Jacobs is going to miss a significant amount of time.
9:24But I do think they've seen enough from Lloyd to know that he could handle carrying the majority of the water there.
9:31Chris Brooks is still there. And that's the one.
9:34That's the part of it, though. I'm not so sure on.
9:37Okay. Do they feel comfortable enough to trust their team to Marshawn Lloyd?
9:42Let me ask you this question. Always hurt, by the way.
9:45Exactly. Who has been always hurt, but he's healthy right now.
9:48It's not about his talent. It's about his durability.
9:51I understand that. Oh, there's no question that they would add somebody.
9:55At the 11th pick in round seven, if Jacobs is suspended, you're starting potentially Marshawn Lloyd as a low-end number two running back.
10:02And getting that type of player with the 11th pick in round seven or later just seems like a screaming value to me.
10:09Well, that's the hope. I'd be happy to go and get him.
10:13It would obviously change if they make a big splash at running back.
10:17And if they do that before a suspension is handed down, then you know that something really bad is going to be something.
10:24Well, they know. Every team knows what a suspension is going to happen.
10:29So, right. They may not know. Let me just bring this up.
10:32No, they may not know the extent of the suspension, but they know that there is a suspension potentially looming if it's going to happen.
10:40But here's – well, right, if it's going to happen.
10:43So, first of all, I think he's got a court – his first court date is in November.
10:49So, I think if there – Which could be pushed back until the end after this season.
10:54Which could absolutely be pushed back. Those things get pushed back all the time.
10:59You look at Rasheed Rice. You look at Deshaun Watson.
11:02High-profile, highly publicized cases. Those guys did not get suspended until the following year.
11:06I just looked up the Von Miller and Zay Jones situation.
11:10Von Miller was suspended on October 1st of 2024.
11:13He was arrested in – well, the allegations were in November 2023.
11:16Yeah, he was arrested November 30th of 2023 and suspended October 1st of 2024.
11:21It's a year. Zay Jones was pretty similar. It wasn't quite as long, I don't think.
11:26He was charged on November 13th. And he was suspended on August 23rd.
11:30So, not as long. But these things take a very long time.
11:34The only thing that's going to accelerate a suspension is if the video is jamming.
11:38And if the video is out there and public sees it, the NFL is going to react quickly.
11:44Yes. I agree. But I think, you know, if you are okay – and I hate talking about it.
11:50Like, obviously, any domestic violence, you know, it's disgusting.
11:53But we have to talk about Jacobs as a fantasy value here.
11:56Like, the guy was the number six running back in fantasy two years ago with the Packers.
12:02Before he got hurt and played the last three games injured last year, he was averaging over 19 points per game.
12:08So, he's performed like a first-round pick. If you can get him in the fifth round – and we'll see where he goes today.
12:16We're going to start the draft momentarily here. We'll see where he goes today in a 10-team league.
12:22And then you want to commit to just locking up Lloyd.
12:25Like, it's worth it to me to use two roster spots, even though one of them could be useless for however long.
12:32Like, just to get that Packers running back because you could have a number one running – like, the top 12 running back.
12:39Like, it's not unreasonable that Lloyd could do that for four or five games or something like that.
12:45And Jacobs, obviously, has shown what he can do.
12:48All right. Let's see where he goes. Let's start the draft here.
12:51Remember, we have our mailbag coming up. We're going to do auction strategy and a mailbag during the mailbag show.
12:58And thank you to all of you who are drafting with us today.
13:02Nine listeners plus Jamie. The draft is underway. Jamie, you have the sixth pick.
13:06Just speaking in general, this is a half PPR 10-team league.
13:10We are starting two flexes. Two running backs, two receivers, tight end, quarterback, two flexes.
13:14What's a bigger impact for you in terms of strategy?
13:17The half PPR angle or the 10-team angle? In terms of strategy, the 10-team angle.
13:22Okay. Expand on that. Well, everybody's going to have an all-star team.
13:26That goes without question. So this is the type of size of a league where taking a quarterback early is a little bit more acceptable.
13:34Taking a tight end early is more acceptable. And I think just knowing that there's three potentially elite tight ends, I'm going
13:41to make it a priority if I can get one in rounds two or three.
13:45Look at Adam putting himself on the top of the screen.
13:49I didn't do that. I swear that wasn't me.
13:52Sure. You've earned it, buddy. You've earned it. Well, just looking at the Raiders last night, and Bowers played on the first drive, and that was it.
14:00They haven't decided on a quarterback. Personally, watching the tape of Mendoza the last two weeks, I think he's been a lot better than his crappy numbers.
14:09There have been a lot of drops. Two by Ian Thomas yesterday.
14:12One by Naylor that was an interception. It was a tough play.
14:16But are you getting a little nervous about Bowers based on a lackluster preseason from the Raiders offense?
14:22Not at all. No. I think the worry would be that we talk about other teams not scoring a lot of points.
14:29Could the Raiders fall into that trap and not be – could they be bottom 10 in points scored this year?
14:35And I think that's possible just given how Cousins is and how Mendoza's looked.
14:40And, yeah, some of the mistakes aren't Mendoza's fault.
14:42I don't think that's enough to knock Bowers, especially in leagues where – really in any league, just because he does have
14:49so much potential to just – He could lead the NFL in targets.
14:53He could lead the NFL in receiving yards. I mean – There's a world where he could just absolutely smash.
15:00As a rookie, set the rookie record for receptions with crappy quarterback play.
15:04Yeah. They were 28th in scoring as a rookie, and he was a top three tight end, almost number one per game.
15:11And I like Trey Tucker. He's an interesting sleeper, no doubt.
15:14I'm going to draft Trey Tucker in a bunch of leagues late.
15:18But there's nobody on this team that's going to command seven-plus targets per game other than Bowers.
15:23Now, in this draft, it's half PPR. So Gibbs, Bijon are one and two.
15:28Chase, Puka, three, four. Jonathan Taylor, number five. I don't know if that pick was a, hey, I want to make sure
15:35I get a top 11 running back because I may not get it in round two.
15:40Or this is a half PPR league, so I'm going to boost Jonathan Taylor ahead of St.
15:45Brown and Jackson Smith and Jigba. So the first seven picks were Gibbs, Bijon, Chase, Puka, Jonathan Taylor, Amon Ross St.
15:51Brown, and Jackson Smith and Jigba. And Jamie took St.
15:55Brown. James Cook, Christian McCaffrey, and Derrick Henry round out the top ten.
15:59So team ten took Derrick Henry. The last three teams took a running back.
16:03Let's see how many of them start RBRB. And Jamie, you took St.
16:07Brown in round one. But in this ten-team league, you know, you have a much better chance of getting a top 11 running back in round two.
16:16I have a feeling that was a factor for you.
16:19Yeah, of course. You know, I think just looking at it that the spot that I'm in and, again, amount of teams, it's a little easier.
16:27Now there could be a huge run on running back, which is fine.
16:31I'll adjust. But I think just, again, getting a player who I think, for me, is my third receiver on the board, I was thrilled to do that.
16:40Yeah, so far we are 12 picks in and there have been seven running backs taken.
16:45So if you want a top 11 guy, you know, you're asking yourself in a ten-team league, where do I feel comfortable
16:52if I have a first-round pick in the top whatever, getting that 11th guy?
16:56We'll see where that is here. I think Jamie's going to be just fine.
17:01All right, so round three was Chase Brown to the Henry manager, AJ Brown to the McCaffrey manager, Kenneth Walker to the James Cook manager, and Devon Achan.
17:09Is that 11 or is there one more? Hampton?
17:12Oh, Hampton's still there. Jamie, you're going to take Hampton here?
17:16Nope. Really? Take Lamb? Oh, you took Bauer. Oh, you took Bauer.
17:19I don't like it. I want to be elite.
17:22He makes me elite at that spot. So does Omari and Hampton.
17:26Maybe. Maybe. Omari and Hampton doesn't make him elite at tight end.
17:30And if you're – I'm pretty sure – how would you have felt if you had gotten Hampton here and then McBride in round three?
17:38I would have felt great about it, but that's something that I can't control.
17:42I can't control Bauer. It's true. And that was the reason I did it.
17:46What's the drop-off for you from Bauer to McBride and McBride to Loveland?
17:50Because Loveland would have made it there in round three.
17:54Potentially. Potentially. Again, you know, I think if you're going into a 10-team league, you should try and separate yourself because everybody's going to have great teams.
18:02I don't know. But you went so far off your rankings based on this 10-team league.
18:07Well, not that far off. You moved him up to – what was that?
18:1115th. You took Bauer's 15th overall. What do you have?
18:15And I have Bauer's at 20 and I have Hampton at 14.
18:18So I went one spot behind my rankings and four spots ahead.
18:22That's pretty big. Look at Lamb going 17th. Yeah, Lamb.
18:25Someone said in the chat, I can't see Lamb going after A.J.
18:29Brown, which is what happened. I agree. Yeah, I agree too.
18:32Half PPR maybe changes it a little bit. All right, round two is Chase Brown, A.J.
18:38Brown, Kenneth Walker, Devon A. Chan, Brock Bowers to Jamie, Omari and Hampton to the Jonathan Taylor manager.
18:43So team five got Taylor and Hampton. Team four had Puka in round one, CeeDee Lamb in round two.
18:49Team three took Jamar Chase and then Nico Collins.
18:52Team two took B. John Robinson and Justin Jefferson.
18:55I mean Jefferson going after A.J. Brown and Nico Collins.
18:58Then we had Rasheed Rice and George Pickens at the 2-3 turn.
19:02By the way, a Cowboys beat reporter went on a podcast and said George Pickens might be the guy that gives defenses more fits this year.
19:10Sure. Sure. Works downfield. He gave fits last year.
19:13We got to take a break, actually. So I'm going to pause the draft after Jamie picks.
19:18We'll get to Jamie here. So Rasheed Rice was the last pick of round three.
19:23We had a run of six of round two.
19:26Pardon me. We had a run of six straight wide receivers after Hampton.
19:30Lamb, Nico, Jefferson, and Rice picks 17 through 20.
19:32Then we go into round three. We have George Pickens and Malik Neighbors.
19:37And then Saquon Barkley. What? Dude, Saquon Barkley going with the second pick?
19:4123rd overall, third pick of round three. It's a steal.
19:44Way too late in a half PPR league. Kyron Williams after him.
19:47I started looking at Barkley on the board and looking at where Jamie was.
19:52And Jamie was four picks away. And I thought, is there a chance that Barkley makes it back?
19:58But with two teams starting receiver-receiver picking in front of you, Jamie, there was no way that Saquon was making it back to you.
20:05But still, a good player is there. My gamble was bad.
20:09Yeah, McBride was available at 26. I don't think it was that bad.
20:13Well, I mean, I think Bowers and McBride are close.
20:16And so to take McBride, take Bowers one full round ahead of McBride, it didn't work out.
20:21But you got Drake London in round three. And I know it's half PPR, not full PPR.
20:26But getting London at 26 overall, I think, is a good value for sure.
20:31And so, again, you're trying to make yourself stand out in a shallower talent pool.
20:36So, yeah. My pass catchers should be the best on the league.
20:39Kyron, someone asking in the chat, we'll take a break after this.
20:43Kyron over Drake London? Don't like it. Even in half PPR, right?
20:47Yeah. No. All right. I'll pause. I don't like it in non-PPR.
20:51I'll pause the draft after round three. Round three so far is Pickens, Neighbors, Barkley, Kyron Williams, Devontae Smith, Drake London.
20:57I mean, there have been some kind of wacky things here.
21:01Like Nico. There's still a great wide receiver on the board.
21:04He might have just gone out of the slush puppies.
21:07He did. Chris Olave. But Olave. Olave's been moving up for me.
21:11James Cook, Ken Walker, Chris Olave for team. That's beautiful.
21:14See, McCaffrey, A.J. Brown for team nine. They're on the clock here.
21:18And team nine has McCaffrey, A.J. Brown and Littering and T.Higgins.
21:21And then team 12 or team 10, which took Henry and Chase Brown at the one-two turn, is going to have.
21:28I mean, they could try to go elite and go.
21:31Boy, they really got pinched at receiver. No. They're still good players.
21:35Who's the best receiver left on your board? McConkie.
21:38Okay. You go McConkie, Zay Flowers. That's a great start.
21:41Yeah. Okay. I like Waddle and Garrett Wilson. But.
21:44Go Lund here. That would have been a great spot for them to go.
21:48I mean, I can't really doubt them on Henry and Chase Brown as their first two picks.
21:53But if they had gotten Lamb instead of one of those running backs, boy, they've got a lot of good running backs left.
22:01He took Zay Flowers. Yeah, because Jenty is there, right?
22:04So, like. Sure. You could take Jenty now. Right.
22:0730th overall. Javante is still there. He took Flowers.
22:09Jeremiah Love is still there. I'm going to pause the draft.
22:13We're going to take a break and talk about.
22:16I mean, it's to go Henry, Chase Brown, Zay Flowers, Ladd McConkie, which is possible, or Waddle or whatever.
22:22That, to me, is like a good team at the 12 spot in a 12-team league.
22:27I think maybe I'd be a little disappointed at the 10 spot in a 10-team league.
22:32But you do have Ashton Jenty and you have Colson Loveland on the board.
22:36And I think those guys have to come into play right now in this 10-team league, even though we're only at pick 31 right now, right?
22:44Can you start three running backs? You can start four running backs.
22:48You get two flexors. Then Jenty is in play for this pick, then.
22:52All right. We're going to take a break and come back and see how this plays out here.
22:58Kind of an unpredictable draft, man. It's been fun.
23:00Yeah, it has been fun. And this is how drafts are, man.
23:04Adam, you know it as well as I do.
23:07Home leagues, everybody drafting with their buddies in a basement or at a bar.
23:11This is the fun part of fantasy, for sure.
23:14Because unpredictable stuff happens in every single draft. This is one of them.
23:18Oh, wait, wait. I like Gamer Eric's got a good little potential game for us here.

26:26Welcome back, everybody. Okay, let's just tell you the 10 teams real quick.
26:30Team 1 is Gibbs, Rasheed Rice, George Pickens. This is half PPR, two flexes.
26:34Gibbs, Rasheed Rice, George Pickens. Very good. Team 2.
26:37Both of these teams went running back, receiver, receiver.
26:40Bijon Robinson, Justin Jefferson, 19th overall. Malik Neighbors. That's fun.
26:43LSU connection there. Team 3. Jamar Chase, LSU. Nico Collins, Saquon Barkley.
26:47I would call Saquon right now arguably the best pick of the draft at 23rd overall.
26:52Team 4. Puka, Lamb, Kyron Williams. We thought maybe a little early for Kyron Williams, but when you've got two wide receivers and Puka and Lamb.
27:00I would have gone McBride there. Yeah, or Olave.
27:03I would have gone London. You can start four in this league, right?
27:07You can start four wide receivers. So don't – that's a good lesson here.
27:11Don't take a position if that – now, look, maybe he just loves Kyron Williams.
27:16But if that player is worse than the other players on the board, you don't have to – Don't chase.
27:22Right, don't chase. Unless it's Jamar or Brown. Good way to put it.
27:26Team 5. Jonathan Taylor, Omari and Hampton, Devontae Smith.
27:29Team 6 is Jamie. St. Brown, Brock Bowers, Drake, London.
27:32Team 7, JSN, Devon Achan, Trey McBride. Team 8, James Cook, Kenneth Walker, Chris Olave.
27:37Team 9, McCaffrey, AJ Brown, T. Higgins. Team 10, Derrick Henry, Chase Brown, Zay Flowers.
27:42And we resume the draft. Ashton Genti, Colson Loveland, Javante Williams, Ladd McConkie, Garrett Wilson, Jalen Waddle.
27:47These are options here for the team that has Derrick Henry, Chase Brown, and Zay Flowers.
27:52And this is JJ on the clock. I want to thank JJ, Thomas, Jonathan, Matt, Jamie something, Stephen, Chris, Clinton, Link.
27:59Dan. And Michael. And who did he take? He took Genti.
28:02Genti 31. You guys like Genti at 31? That's right around the range of what I would take him.
28:08I don't mind if he had gone with Javante Williams there either, but I felt like the value at running back was too good to pass up.
28:16So where do you take Mike Washington? Oh, there we go.
28:20Oh, are you on the clock? No. No. Jacobs is gone.
28:23Jacobs. 33rd overall round four. That feels a little too soon.
28:27Could be the best value of the draft by the time we look back on it.
28:32Yeah. Yeah. And that team has James Cook, Kenneth Walker, Chris Olavi, and Josh Jacobs.
28:37I would not be taking that risk with that position right now.
28:40Right. Why wouldn't you rather take? Loveland. Loveland would have been perfect.
28:44Loveland would have been perfect for that team, given what they have already with two running backs and one wide receiver.
28:51He could have also taken, he could have taken Josh Allen.
28:54This is round four. This is a good time to steal a quarterback, which I think Jamie's about to do.
29:00Let me ask you a question. The receivers left were like Garrett Wilson, Jalen Waddell.
29:05Not as exciting as some of those other running backs.
29:08All right. Round four is Gentie, McConkie, Jacobs, and Jordan, and Jeremiah Love.
29:12All right. Jamie, you had St. Brown, Bowers, and London, and you took Josh Allen?
29:17The elite. Yeah. I like it. All right. So that was what?
29:2135th overall. So now you have your number one quarterback, your number one tight end.
29:26I'm on Ross St. Brown and Drake London. Notably, you do not have any running backs.
29:31Notably. Your next pick. Super curious to see how that goes for Jamie too, because there are four teams picking after him
29:37and then before him in round five that only have one running back.
29:42And the team picking right after him that has two running backs just took a third.
29:47And so knowing that you can start up to four running backs in this league, do we continue to see a running
29:53back run in round four that costs Jamie the chance of getting even a decent running back in round five?
30:00By the way, with Jamie's build. I'm sorry, Adam.
30:03With Jamie's build, this is exactly where I would try and target Jacobs in round five.
30:08Obviously, he's gone. He can't do it now. But if you've loaded up and gone zero RB, getting Jacobs in round five
30:14and then planning to pair him with Lloyd, to me, that's just that's a smart way to build a team.
30:21You're guaranteed a Packers running back. That should at least be a number two running back.
30:26And then you've got studs at wide receiver, tight end at quarterback.
30:30I think it's really interesting to see the three running backs taken at the beginning of this round.
30:35Gentie Jacobs love. Right. I mean, what a risky group that is.
30:39How do you guys rank Gentie Jacobs love? I mean, Jacobs is out of the equation right now.
30:45So it would be Gentie love, but I like Javante who just went swift, who went and a chance.
30:51Travis, a chance on the board. Yeah. All right.
30:53So round four right now, picks 31 through 40.
30:56Gentie McConkie Jacobs love Josh Allen, Deandre Swift, a Buka Colson Loveland.
31:00So team three chase Nico Collins, Saquon Barkley, Colson Loveland.
31:03That's pretty good. It's great. Javante Williams after that.
31:06And Brees Hall goes 40th overall. So team one is on the clock with two running backs and two receivers.
31:12Remember, you start two running backs, two receivers and two flex.
31:16I, you know, I wouldn't be opposed to a Lamar Jackson reach here because I don't think you're getting Lamar Jackson at 60.
31:23Let's see where, what, when Lamar Jackson comes off the board.
31:26But so far, Mike's team at team one is Gibbs, Rasheed Rice, Pickens and Brees Hall.
31:31You're not probably not looking at a tight end here.
31:35And he took a wide receiver named DJ Moore.
31:37DJ Moore. Okay. Still have Waddle on the board.
31:40Still have Garrett Wilson on the board as we're on pick 42.
31:44Here's another team with two running backs and two receivers.
31:47Bijan Robinson, Justin Jefferson, Malik Neighbors, Javante Williams and Luther Burden, 43.
31:51Who do you guys like better? DJ Moore or Luther Burden?
31:54More. I've got more higher. I said 43. I'm in 42.
31:58Here's Travis H. And dude, like CJ is getting some serious value at running back.
32:02Yes. Barkley at 23 and H. And Travis. Great team.
32:06Yeah. This is a great one here. This is Chase, Nico, Barkley, Loveland and Travis A.
32:11Chan. Team four is Puka, Lamb, Kyron Williams and Abuka.
32:14Puka and Abuka. I love it. And now a wide receiver.
32:17Another wide receiver. Four wide receivers. It was his first five picks.
32:21He can start all of them. And it's Jalen Waddle.
32:24So who the... Pretty good. Would you have taken your fourth wide receiver there?
32:28Or would you have taken like Bucky Irving or Lamar Jackson or, you know, a different position?
32:34The wide receiver. Yep. I think I would have taken Bucky.
32:37But I would have taken Javante over Abuka in a heartbeat in round four.
32:42And then he'd have both the Williams's, Kyron and Javante, comes back in round five.
32:46I think if he had... He would be his third receiver.
32:50That would be the start that I would have preferred.
32:53I would have preferred if he'd taken Drake London or Alave and then come back and take the running back in round four.
33:00See, this is more of a, you know, an overall question, right?
33:04So this is a team two receiver, two running back, two flex.
33:08And he starts Puka, Lam, Kyron, Abuka. And now he's got the 44th overall pick.
33:12And he can certainly draft a wide receiver. And he did.
33:16And he took Waddle. I think I would have been...
33:19I would have taken Bucky there. I don't like Waddle necessarily a lot.
33:23I think they're similar, right? But I understand that you can start Waddle here.
33:27But at some point, you've got to start thinking about your running back room.
33:32No, you don't. I disagree. You do. Why don't you?
33:35The better player is Waddle. Take the better player.
33:38Is he the better player? I don't think... In this case, he is because you only need to start two running backs.
33:45And you've got two flex spots. You need those flex spots to be as strong as you can.
33:50Yeah, but here's the thing. Right now, you only need to start two running backs.
33:55That is absolutely true. There are injuries. There are bye weeks.
33:59You don't want to be left with... There are more picks in the draft.
34:03Right. It's a 10-team league, Adam. But who's going to be there at 57 with his next pick?
34:09I don't think... Not Jalen Waddle. Not Bucky Irving either.
34:12Probably not. But then he can... That could be Jadarian Price.
34:15That could be Basel Tootin. They're not that far off from...
34:19Yes. All right. Jamie's on the clock. The next pick was Sam Laporta to Team 5 that has Taylor, Hampton, Devontae Smith, DeAndre Swift.
34:26Devontae Smith, DeAndre Swift, and Sam Laporta. No, you picked too fast.
34:30Amon Ross St. Brown for Jamie in round one.
34:33Brock Bowers, Drake London, Josh Allen. He's got number one quarterback, number one tight end.
34:37And now he's on the clock with no running backs.
34:41I think Jamie's got a chance to keep doing the zero RB thing.
34:45There's a receiver left on the board that I think is a screaming value at 46th overall.
34:50When you look at Garrett Wilson, Dave... That's who it is.
34:53Let's see if he takes him. Yeah, he did.
34:56Okay, excellent. How worried... In a half PPR league, when you look at Garrett Wilson, are you worried about touchdowns?
35:03Because we can see catches being there, but are you worried about touchdowns?
35:07Of course I'm worried about touchdowns. It doesn't matter what the format is for Garrett Wilson either.
35:12And I don't love that last year in seven games, 11.6 half PPR points per game.
35:17Six games. Well, what? He left one game. He played like 16 snaps in the...
35:22All right. So if we Azor stat that game out, it's even better than 11.6, which is fine.
35:27Because I was about to say, I think he can be better than 11.6 half PPR points per game.
35:33And this range in the draft, I think when you get somebody, let's call it 12, and I feel like we're sort
35:40of low-balling him by saying he's 12 half PPR points per game.
35:44That's great in round five, especially late round five.
35:47And Jamie already hinted at it. The drop-off between Bucky Irving to all the other running backs that are still on the board isn't that bad.
35:55And so many of the teams picking after Jamie have multiple running backs already.
35:59Two of them have three running backs. Maybe they go four running backs, but I would take that risk if I were
36:06Jamie and take the best player available, which is Garrett Wilson.
36:10Again, pointing back to what we talked about at the beginning, and Jamie said it first.
36:15You're building an all-star team in the 10-team league.
36:18Everybody's going to have one. You want to build the best one.
36:21And I think Jamie's got arguably the three best receivers that you could ask for here on top of Bowers and Josh Allen.
36:29Yeah. All right. So Jamie takes Garrett Wilson, 46th overall.
36:32Then Tedderola McMillan goes. Then Jamison Williams goes. Bucky Irving goes 49th.
36:35Terry McLaurin goes 50th. Best wide receivers available on Jamie's list are Devante Adams, Parker Washington, Romo Dunze, Christian Watson.
36:42Best running backs available are Judkins, Scadaboo, Montgomery, Jadarian Price, and Bejal Tootin.
36:46And you get into the Patriots guys. We only have one quarterback off the board after 50 picks.
36:51That's another surprise. I wouldn't expect that in a regular 10-team league.
36:55We also had Laporta go ahead of Tyler Warren.
36:58Tyler Warren's still around. Yep. That's also a surprise.
37:01And all right. So team 12, Henry, Chase Brown, Zay Flowers, Ashton Gentty, Terry McLaurin, pardon me, and Mike Evans, 51st.
37:07A little earlier than probably you guys would want to see Evans.
37:11There's Devante Adams. Not sure I can just it.
37:14I mean, I don't know how you take Evans over Adams at this point.
37:18No, I don't think he can. Especially not in half PPR.
37:22Yep. Yeah. Excellent point. But this is working out great for you, Jamie.
37:26There's going to be plenty of running backs left.
37:29Yep. If you want to take one. Yeah. I'm going to double up on quarterback and take Lamar Jackson.
37:35I wonder if this had been a one flex league, if more running backs would have come off the board.
37:41People are going pretty wide receiver heavy here. I don't know.
37:45Running backs flew off the board pretty quickly. No, at this point in the draft, though.
37:50Like right now, we've only had two running backs in the last 16 picks.
37:54Now three. So Evans, Adams, Watson are the first three picks of round six.
37:58And now here's Quinch on Judkins. And Jamie's on the clock with Josh Allen, Brock Bowers, Amon Ross St.
38:04Brown, Drake London, Garrett Wilson. And who'd you take?
38:07Scadaboo. Boo. That's a scadaboo, not a boo. How do you feel about that?
38:11I was hoping for Judkins. But you know what?
38:14I'm fine with it. You know, at this point in the draft, like I'm just going to start stockpiling running backs at this point.
38:22So it's, you know, either death by a thousand paper cuts.
38:25Yeah. Or we'll see how it all works out.
38:28Okay. So Evans, Adams, Watson, then Judkins and Scadaboo, then Parker Washington.
38:32Like we might be running away from Scadaboo too much, but in round five in this draft, I think it's fine.
38:38Well, this is round six. Round six is better.
38:41Yeah. 55th overall. Jadarian Price goes 57th overall. Yep.
38:44And this is an example of what a 10 team draft does is it pushes players down in a 12 team league.
38:51I don't know if Judkins and Scadaboo make it this far, but we've got two fewer teams making picks.
38:57And so there's incredible value here. I mean, here's one of my favorite picks of the draft.
39:02Yeah. Lamar Jackson. This is one of them. Lamar Jackson, 58th.
39:06What have I been talking about all off season long?
39:09The time to draft a quarterback is when you can't believe the value of somebody that's there.
39:14And CJ clearly saw Lamar Jackson in late round six, knowing that everybody else other than Jamie needed a quarterback and went,
39:21I can't believe this dude is still here. I'm taking him.
39:25That's the way to go about drafting a quarterback this year.
39:28Jamie question for you. You took Scadaboo and then Jadarian Price and then Basel Tootin went shortly thereafter.
39:34Yesterday we had a really, I thought a really good informative conversation, at least for me about why Jadarian Price, why Basel
39:41Tootin has more roadblocks than Jadarian Price. Who do you think has more roadblocks?
39:45Jadarian Price or Cam Scadaboo? I think by everything we've seen right now, it's probably Scadaboo, but there's still, as I asked
39:52both of you guys yesterday, if we know the Zach Charbonnet timeline, that changes everything.
39:57Yeah. Um, I like this pick at the six, seven turn, Joe Burrow and Tyler Warren, third quarterback off the board and
40:04the fifth tight end off the board, you know, Warren going 61st is unusual.
40:08Laporta went 45th. So if that had been Laporta instead of Warren, would you, would that have been a good pick for team one?
40:15Yeah. Okay. Cause I would have rather, I would have rather had May than Burrow.
40:20Okay. Fair enough. Team one has Burrow and Warren, Jameer Gibbs and Brees Hall, Rasheed Rice, George Pickens and DJ Moore.
40:27Strong team. If you don't have a strong team through the first six or seven rounds of a 10 team league, you
40:34know, then you either just didn't get any good value or you made some mistakes.
40:3810 team. I like 10 team leagues. I wouldn't want to play in too many of them.
40:44Um, but they're fun. They're fun. Yeah, they're fun.
40:47They are fun. Well, every fantasy league is fun.
40:49Yeah. No, but this is on a different level.
40:52Yes, of course. When I was in Vegas at the fantasy football national draft day, there was a league drafting five team league.
40:59That was silly. That was silly. Well, I think I'm going to be that for grownups.
41:04Yeah. I'm going to be in a, like a six team league with the father and son league.
41:10Yeah. Nice. You know, your first one. Yeah. Yeah.
41:13That's awesome. I'm pumped. All right. Back to the draft.
41:16Round six was Evans, Adams, Watson, Judkins, Scadaboo, Parker, Washington, Jadarian Price, Lamar Jackson, Bejal Tootin and Joe Burrow.
41:22Quarterbacks starting to come off the board now. As we go to round seven, Tyler Warren is tight end five, 61st overall.
41:29Chris Godwin, Romo Dunze. Who do you guys like better?
41:32Godwin or Odunze? Godwin. Odunze. Drake May after that.
41:35Then Jordan Mason, 65th. That's ahead of David Montgomery.
41:38That feels early there. That worked out very well for me.
41:41Oh, you got. It absolutely did. And if Montgomery had been taken where Jordan Mason was taken, who would you have taken
41:48as RB two or would you have kept passing?
41:51Ramondre. Ramondre. Okay. Marvin Harrison Jr. was after that.
41:54And then Ramondre Stevenson to team eight, 68th overall going ahead of Travion Henderson.
41:58Travion Henderson, by the way, expected to be ready for week one.
42:02Our next pick is J.K. Dobbins. And then pick 70, the end of round seven here for a team with three receivers and three running backs.
42:10Let's see if he goes Jaden Daniels. Probably not going to take a tight end at this point, but maybe.
42:16I want to make a point about the running back position here because we, uh, I talked about on Monday or Tuesday,
42:23I think that I took Jordan Mason 80th overall in the FFT open.
42:27And we were like, no, that seems kind of early.
42:30So then I went and I looked at where Jordan, I went, looked at eight different FFT open leagues.
42:36And I looked at where Jordan Mason, Ja'Cory Krosky Merritt, and J.K.
42:40Dobbins were being drafted. And my advice to everyone out there is to ignore ADP because they're going to go earlier.
42:47Jordan Mason went between 77th and 85th in six of the eight drafts.
42:51Ja'Cory Krosky Merritt went around 90th in six of the eight drafts.
42:55J.K. Dobbins had more of a range, 81st, 91st, 80, 74, 83rd, 82nd, 95th, 96th.
42:59So I would say between 80 and 95, I would expect Mason, Ja'Cory Krosky Merritt, and J.K.
43:05Dobbins to be off the board in your drafts.
43:07Obviously it's not going to happen in every draft, but you know, after that, you're looking at Gainwell and Corum, guys that
43:14don't have as clear of paths to being a starter on their own team.
43:19And I think this is really an important thing to know going into your draft, Dave.
43:24Like, I mean, you could look at them differently than I do, but I look at Mason, Bill, and Dobbins as three
43:31of the last chances to get a guy that I feel pretty good about their workload.
43:36I have some questions about Dobbins, but that's more of a personal thing here.
43:40Um, and we'll be the first guy up for Denver.
43:43They're not going to be, they're not going to be around at pick 100, I think in most leagues.
43:49So just be aware of it, man. This draft really turned out great for Jamie.
43:54He took Jonathan Brooks. Yeah. So after starting without a running back for the first five rounds, he got a potential hammer
44:01in the giants run heavy offense and scataboo that the definite hammer for the Texans offense in Montgomery and potentially the one a back in Carolina and Brooks.
44:10And I've cooled my jets on Jonathan Brooks, but getting them at 75th overall is a pretty good deal as a third running back.
44:17This, this is, this is the way to do it.
44:20And it, it, this has kind of opened my eyes to maybe considering zero RB more in a smaller format like this.
44:27Yeah. Really just go best player available on a smaller format.
44:31Right. I mean, I have to say I'm going zero RB, but for this to work out, it's not so much anything
44:37else besides the tight end and the quarterback, if they are what they're supposed to be, then I should be fine because I'll find quarterbacks.
44:45I mean, I'll find running backs and receivers of active favor and replacements because the benches are going to, the waiver wire
44:52is going to be a lot better in this.
44:55Sure. That's another great point. Um, yeah, I think probably in retrospect though, you would like your team better if you had Hampton and McBride rather than Bowers.
45:04Correct. Yes. It was definitely a gamble and it did not work in my favor.
45:09All right. We got to take a break here and we'll come right back, uh, after this on fantasy football today.
45:15All right. We are, oh, we're right into round nine.
45:18So we're pick 81 now. And I am curious, all right.
45:22The Josh Jacobs manager has picked 88. I really think you got to take Lloyd there.
45:27Um, but we'll see where Lloyd comes off the board.
45:30Jamie, this is why he should have taken him in round eight instead of, uh, Carnell Tate already had three wide receivers.
45:37Tate's his fourth receiver. I would have absolutely gone in the direction of, of, uh, Lloyd there.
45:42If not one of Brooks, maybe Travion, maybe Dowdle just, and it's specific.
45:46It's not about like the right spot in the draft to take Lloyd.
45:50It's just specific to the guy took Jacobs. The guy kind of reached for Jacobs with the 33rd overall pick.
45:57I think he got to safeguard it. I know that's kind of a loser mentality in fantasy, but in this case, I
46:03think it would pay off because of how the track record is for running backs in green Bay.
46:09Yeah, this, this has been a fun draft because there's just been a lot of picks going way off of the, you
46:16know, ADP like Jaden Reed 76 and Brian Thomas jr.
46:1983rd. I wonder if the manager who took Jaden Reed and just selected Jalen hurts in round nine, if he would have taken Brian Thomas jr.
46:27Had he not already had Parker Washington, but also Quentin Johnson was on the board.
46:32Um, the John Stribbling, I think is still on the board.
46:35So this is the earliest I've seen Jaden Reed go at 76 overall.
46:40Christian Watson went 53rd. Uh, Jamie just took his fourth straight running back and Jalen Warren.
46:45Well, now you only have two wide receivers three.
46:47Oh, you have three. Oh, I have to scroll up.
46:51Right. You have St. Brown. My bad. Um, you have St.
46:54Brown, London, Garrett Wilson, Scadaboo, Montgomery, Jonathan Brooks, and Jalen Warren.
46:57Uh, in this format, Jamie Rico Dowdle when 77th Warren, 86 half PPR.
47:02Who do you like better? Uh, I like Dowdle better, but this was still a good value for Warren.
47:07Yeah. RJ Harvey went 80th, Blake Corum 84th. So I will tell you where I did struggle the round before, just cause
47:14he didn't get picked at that point. Um, I did struggle with Brian Thomas jr.
47:19Versus Jonathan Brooks simply because I could start Thomas.
47:22Yeah. And I don't know if I necessarily want to start Brooks.
47:26If I, if you had known that you were getting Jalen Warren round, I would have taken Thomas.
47:31Yeah. But you never know. Picking in the middle is tough in that regard.
47:36Um, all right. So I'll catch you up on rounds eight and nine, George Kittle, Tucker craft, by the way, the, uh,
47:43Dave John who Smith signing with the Packers. Does that matter at all?
47:47I don't think it does. I think craft just has his role locked in.
47:51I don't, unless we hear about a setback, I'm good with craft in round six.
47:56Okay. Craft, uh, in the 12 team league, he went around eight here.
48:00Right. And which would be the last pick of round six and a 12 team league.
48:05Kittle over craft though. What do you think? Don't like it.
48:08Would rather have craft. Kittle craft Tate. Travion Henderson, Jonathan Brooks, Jaden Reed, Rico Dowdle, Tony Pollard, Quentin Johnston, RJ Harvey in round eight, pick 71 through 80.
48:17Round nine, Cortland Sutton, Jaden Daniels, um, Brian Thomas Jr.
48:20Blake Corum, Jalen Hurts, Jalen Warren, DK Metcalf, Stefan Diggs, Jacory Krosky Merritt going 89th.
48:25So again, that's Mason and J and Jacory Krosky Merritt and Dobbins all off the board by the 90th pick with Mason and Dobbins going 65th and 69th.
48:34Uh, when you look at Jacory Krosky Merritt, should he go ahead of the Steelers guys?
48:39Should he go ahead of Corum, RJ Harvey? Jamie, what do you think?
48:43He'd definitely make an argument for it. Um, you know, given his touchdown potential and, you know, where catches don't count as
48:50much in this, uh, in this league, in this format.
48:53But, um, for me just with the ambiguous situation in Pittsburgh, like Warren could still be fantastic and be better than Dowdle.
49:00I cannot believe that this guy had two chances to take Marshawn Lloyd.
49:04Yeah. Well, I really just won that. He didn't take Marshawn Lloyd.
49:08No, he had two. He could have taken them over Tate if he really wanted to, but just getting another crack at
49:15him at 88th overall eighth pick around nine could have had Marshawn Lloyd.
49:19And instead he took Stefan Diggs when he already has how many receivers on his team?
49:24Olave, Jamison Williams, Christian Watson, Carnell Tate. Okay. So you're drafting a backup either way at running back or wide receiver.
49:30Why not take the guy who's connected to one of the running backs that you took earlier instead of Stefan Diggs?
49:37It's mystifying. The only thing I can think of is that slush puppies subscribes to the theory that it's not necessary to
49:44handcuff your backs, no matter the circumstance. And there are people that believe in that.
49:48And I generally believe in that. I want other people's handcuffs.
49:52And so does Optimus Prime because he just took Marshawn Lloyd one pick ahead of where slush puppies was going to take him.
49:59And that was 92nd overall. Slush puppies. How many teams fit this description?
50:03Slush puppies. Sorry. Through 10 rounds does not have a quarterback or a tight end.
50:08So same with Optimus Prime. Those are teams are picking.
50:11What is that? Eighth and ninth overall. They do not have a quarterback or a tight end.
50:16I think that's it. Yeah. So they have gone nothing but running backs and receivers with their first.
50:22Oh, I'm sorry. Optimus Prime is Tucker Craft. But they don't have a quarterback.
50:26Yeah. So slush puppies is the last team to take the onesie positions.
50:31He is 10. Let's see. He has four running backs and six wide receivers.
50:35James Cook, Kenneth Walker, Chris Olave, Josh Jacobs, Jamison Williams, Christian Watson, Ramondre Stevenson, Carnell Tate, Stefan Diggs, and Dejan Stripling.
50:42I don't really love this team. I love the running backs and love Olave.
50:46Yeah, I don't know. I think he went a little too far with the receivers.
50:51Like a lot. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, Jamison Williams, who would you have taken instead of Jamison Williams?
50:57McLaurin, Evans, Adams, Watson, who would you have taken?
51:00Yes. All of them. Okay. Not Evans. Would you have taken anyone over Christian Watson in round six?
51:05Parker Washington. Oh, doing say was still there. I don't know.
51:09I think it's the Carnell Tate and Stefan Diggs picks.
51:12Right. Yeah. I mean, you might be able to talk me into Tate, but I also think Tate might have made it
51:19back to you in the next round. You cannot talk me into Diggs or Stripling at that point.
51:25Diggs ahead of Ja'Cory Crossley Merritt. Diggs ahead of Marshawn Lloyd.
51:28Maybe even Diggs ahead of Kenneth Gainwell in a half PPR.
51:31I can't find it as your fifth wide receiver.
51:34And then Stripling is your sixth. Oh, Jamie, you took Mike Washington.
51:38Yes. Okay. I was like, has Mike Washington gone?
51:41So Jamie's team. I wasn't planning on taking another running back there, but I just felt like it was worth it.
51:47Yeah. St. Brown, Bowers, Drake London, Josh Allen, Garrett Wilson with his first five picks.
51:52And then his next five picks were running backs.
51:55Scadaboo, Montgomery, Jonathan Brooks, Jalen Warren, Mike Washington. All right.
51:58After Mike Washington at running back, we had Gainwell and we had Chuba Hubbard at picks 99 and 100 overall.
52:04Jamie has a steal coming his way. It's definitely going to be there.
52:08If he wants it. Tight end. He already has Bowers, though.
52:12Oh, that's right. Never mind. I'm sorry. I didn't see the top of his draft.
52:17I forgot that he had Bowers because I'm an idiot.
52:20But still, a great tight end has fallen into round 11.
52:23You know what I'm going to do? For good value.
52:26I'm going to turn on YouTube here and see what it looks like.
52:30And then I'm going to see if I can make the zoom out a little, like make it smaller.
52:36All right. So let's see. Is that too small?
52:39No. Yeah. I think it works. It might be tough to see on a phone.
52:44On a phone, yeah. But I'm watching the draft on a big screen in my office and it looks really good.
52:51Prop to CBS. You're cheating with the big screen.
52:53Let me see what it looks like on my laptop with YouTube here.
52:57I want to make sure everyone can see. Well, I'm sure there are people watching on their phones live that can say something in the chat.
53:06It's too small. Let's go up to 90. We'll compromise.
53:09All right. What picks have I missed? After Chuba Hubbard, some of the tight ends are coming off the board.
53:15Fannin went in round 10. Pitts went in round 10.
53:18Goddard went in round 11. We still don't have Isaiah Likely off the board, right?
53:23Or Kelsey. They're still around. To steal for Pitts.
53:26To steal for Pitts likely is still a big steal.
53:29Likely is the highest ranked player left that I see along with Justin Herbert.
53:33And I think Slush Puppies, the team that I said I didn't really like that much, is going to end up with Trevor Lawrence and maybe Isaiah Likely.
53:42And Isaiah Likely. Yeah. And that'll make it better.
53:45That's very good. Very good. I just wish you had Marshawn Lloyd, my friend.
53:49My Josh Jacobs friend. I don't know that we need to really go through the rest of these picks.
53:55If you want to talk about some bills. Oh, maybe.
53:58Travis Kelsey goes, yeah, some teams will take two tight ends and it will screw you up.
54:04So you can't. And it makes sense because Kittle isn't a lock to play in week one.
54:09Yep. So you're going to need another tight end anyway.
54:12You might as well draft one. See, I would have taken Likely there instead of Kelsey because Likely might end up being
54:19a breakout player that you can trade once you're comfortable with Kittle.
54:23Or if Likely's a real breakout player, you trade Kittle.
54:26But you need somebody for week one, at least as of now, if you draft Kittle.
54:31So getting Kelsey makes sense in that regard. But I would have preferred the younger tight end in Likely.
54:37I think if you take Kittle and you don't want to take a second tight end fairly early, you could just take Jake Tonjes.
54:44He was pretty good. And I don't even know if you have to take him.
54:49But, well, if we find out Kittle's out, somebody will pick him up, I think.
54:54We got round 11, Michael Pittman. Oh, you got to play the noise.
54:58You got Aaron Jones. The show stops so Adam can play a noise.
55:02And let's see who Slush Buffy takes. He had Trevor Lawrence as his quarterback in round 11.
55:07He doesn't have a tight end. You got to take Isaiah Likely.
55:11Come on, dude. Take Isaiah Likely. Make us proud.
55:14The pick is in. It is not Isaiah Likely.
55:17It is Rashad White. All right, Jamie, what are you thinking here?
55:21You've got elite quarterback, elite tight end. You're just drafting depth at this point.
55:25What do you got? Yeah, I'm happy the way this worked out.
55:29I was considering Coker over Golden. I haven't taken much of Golden, so I took Golden first.
55:34And now I took Coker. So really thrilled with this receiving core after loading up on all those running backs.
55:40And, well, yeah, one more round of this? Two more.
55:43Two more. So, you know, now I have loved my receivers.
55:47Obviously, love quarterback and tight end. And have the ability to take another couple of swings at lottery ticket running backs.
55:53Before we look at some builds here and what we like and what we don't like, let me ask you this.
56:00In this round, round 12. You said builds or like bills?
56:03Builds. I don't want to look at my bills.
56:06I must say, which Corey Krosky, Mary, like, I don't know how you guys feel, but I'm very nervous about the offensive line for him in particular.
56:15Right? You've lost your left tackle maybe for the season and you've moved one of your guards out to left tackle.
56:21Like, it's good. I believe just, you're not wrong, but I believe the report that we read yesterday about how they struggled with the Ravens.
56:29They also had two other starters that were not participating.
56:32Right. Right. Allegretti was out and then there was another player, I believe, who was out.
56:37So, um, yeah, still not going to be great.
56:40Exactly. Even when those guys are healthy. Now, Aaron Jones and Chris Rodriguez went in round 12.
56:46Jordan Mason went in round seven and Bejal Tootin went in round six.
56:50What Dave, what are the better values in the Minnesota and Jacksonville backfields?
56:54I think Tootin is the one that has the most upside and seeing him go.
56:58In round six, 59th overall. That's about where I'd expect him to go in every draft anyways, right around 60th overall.
57:05I just think that he's got that combination of speed, toughness, youth, offensive scheme.
57:09I think it, I think there's a great outlook for him.
57:13I'd feel a heck of a lot better about Mason.
57:16If Aaron Jones was going to look like a 33 year old, I think he's 33, a 33 year old running back.
57:23I love the way that Jones looked in their preseason game.
57:26I also like the way their offensive line looked.
57:29And I know that running backs that play alongside Kyler Murray get a little bit of a bump in efficiency because of
57:36Kyler Murray's threat to run and defense is having to plan for that.
57:40If Mason's going later, where did he go here?
57:43I'm struggling to find him. He went pretty early.
57:46I mean, he's 65th is not, he's usually going around.
57:49The value here is definitely Aaron Jones. Mason went too soon.
57:52You know, so if you're talking about in this particular draft, I would rather wait to get Aaron Jones where he went
57:59because exactly what Dave said, what they've been saying.
58:02And what they at least showed us in one snippet says that Aaron Jones is not just going to be a pass catching back.
58:10He's going to have an opportunity to run. I don't think 50, 50, but could be still 60, 40.
58:16And the passing downs work is 1 billion percent going to favor Aaron Jones.
58:20So if you're talking about a, you said around 11, a five round difference, I'd rather wait for Aaron Jones.
58:26Yeah. I think it's a fair enough difference that you take to because there's more upside there.
58:32There's definitely more upside. But the problem is, you know, Rodriguez is going to play maybe the goal line back.
58:38And yeah, Mason, like I keep saying Mason Dobbins and Corey Grosky-Mare.
58:42I think there's a lot of risk with those guys.
58:45If the preseason, if the snaps play out the way the preseason has played out for Minnesota, I think Mason's going to be pretty disappointing.
58:53Unless he's just the goal line back. That we didn't see.
58:56We didn't see any opportunities there. There is though the, you know, Dave sort of hinted at this thing.
59:0213 PPR points per game is what Jones, is what Mason averaged when Jones missed five games last year.
59:08Like that puts him in top 20-ish range. Yeah, but Jones isn't injured.
59:12But he's been, he played injured his first year in Minnesota through some significant injuries.
59:17And then he missed five games last year. Yeah, he did.
59:20And he's only 31, by the way. He'll be 32 in December.
59:24So don't throw a retirement party for him yet, Dave.
59:27All right. I will. Let's see. Am I missing, like am I colorblind here?
59:32Slush Puppy still does not have a tight end.
59:34Nope. He's got one pick left. One pick left.
59:37So I'm real curious to see who he takes.
59:40My highest ranked tight end is Kincaid. See, that's why you don't want, this is what you do not want to have happen in a 10-team week.
59:49Yeah. Right. It could be this week at one spot.
59:52You can live with Lawrence as your quarterback. That is perfectly fine.
59:55Right. So he had the opportunity to take who?
59:58Everyone. Likely. Likely at 113 overall. So he could have gone Lawrence likely back-to-back, and that would have made his team pretty solid.
60:05Yep. But he had to have Rashad White. And he had to have Stefan Diggs.
60:10You got to get those commanders. All right. Let's take a look at some builds.
60:15Dave, give me a number. One through 10. Nine.
60:18Because I actually dig what Optimus Prime did. He went anchor RB, took McCaffrey at ninth overall.
60:23That's something I could see myself doing. And then followed it up with three very good wide receivers.
60:29A.J. Brown, T. Higgins, Ladd McConkie. And then in round five, Bucky Irving.
60:33Maybe a settle for RB too. But you could be excited taking him around that point.
60:38Devontae Adams after that I thought was good value in a half PPR.
60:42I think he reached a little bit for J.K.
60:45Dobbins. I'm okay with Ja'Cory Krosky-Meritt. There's nothing wrong with firing the shot on Marshawn line in round 10, no matter who
60:52you drafted in your first nine picks. And then he waited, waited, waited for a quarterback.
60:57And he got one of my favorite quarterbacks in Justin Herbert.
61:00And he got him at 129th overall. Yet another example of, I can't believe this dude is still sitting here in the draft.
61:07I'm going to take him. Excellent, excellent value. Maybe the best value in this draft to get Justin Herbert at 129.
61:14This is a good team. I would be excited about this team with Optimus Prime loading up on running backs.
61:20So if something does happen to Christian McCaffrey, okay, he's got some options.
61:24They're not the best options to replace him if it's J.K.
61:28Dobbins, Ja'Cory Krosky-Meritt, Lloyd, if things work out in Green Bay.
61:31But the receiving group is awesome. Tucker Craft was a steal at 8.2.
61:35And Herbert at quarterback. This might be my favorite team.
61:38I haven't looked at every single team, but this is one of them.
61:42Yeah, it's a good one. And I think it's interesting, right, because Jamie made the point in rounds two and four to
61:49take his tight end one and his QB one.
61:52And he came out with a really good team.
61:55It's a perfectly fine way to build a team, try to be elite at those onesie positions.
62:00Whereas this team, team nine, took Tucker Craft 72nd overall in round eight and took Justin Herbert 129th overall in round 13.
62:07And then after Herbert went, he still could have taken Brock Purdy or Jackson Dart.
62:12I don't even know if Jared Goff was drafted in this league.
62:16It was out. So, yeah, you don't have to build your team like Jamie to get the elite quarterback and the elite
62:23tight end if the value's not there. And it really wasn't there for him, at least at tight end, unless he wanted
62:29to take Loveland 32nd overall, which he didn't. All right, Jamie, give me a number one through 10.
62:35Two. Two. Team two. B. John Robinson. All right, so this is a great one.
62:40Even in a 10-team league, you take B. John Robinson, you're probably not getting a running back in rounds two and three.
62:47You're probably not taking one. Now, I think you should have taken Saquon Barkley.
62:51Agreed. But Saquon Barkley typically won't be there at 19th overall.
62:55But maybe one of those guys will fall there.
62:57Anyway, he goes B. John Robinson, Justin Jefferson, and then Malik Neighbors in round three.
63:02I think we all would take Saquon Barkley well ahead of Malik Neighbors, especially half PPR.
63:07Yeah. Whatever. And then we got Javante Williams in round four.
63:11That's a good pick, 39th overall. Luther Burden, Bejal Tootin.
63:14Chris Godwin, Quentin Johnston. This is another team that took a quarterback in round nine and took two tight ends in rounds 11 and 12.
63:22So the starting lineup is going to be Jaden Daniels.
63:25It's going to be Dallas Goddard or Isaiah Likely at tight end.
63:28B. John Robinson, Javante Williams. Justin Jefferson, Malik Neighbors.
63:31And then your flexes are going to be two of these four.
63:35Luther Burden, Bejal Tootin, Chris Godwin, Quentin Johnston. It's pretty good.
63:39A lot of LSU on this team. Obviously, Quentin Johnston, 65-yard touchdown catch yesterday.
63:43So let's put him three rounds higher in ADP.
63:46No, I think this was a great pick at 79 overall.
63:49He went after Carnell Tatey, went after Jaden Reed.
63:52I don't know how you guys feel about Quentin Johnston there.
63:55It's just the Brian Thomas one. I think Thomas still has more upside.
64:00I agree. I would have rather had Thomas. I would have rather had Sutton.
64:04Also, this team drafted Bigsby to back up the Barkley pick that he never made.
64:09I'm sorry. But that's an example of taking other people's handcuffs.
64:12Imagine it working out where Saquon wins Powerball, decides to retire.
64:16Bigsby, the next man up in Philadelphia. Now he's got the lead running back in Philly, the lead running back in Atlanta,
64:22the lead running back in Dallas, and maybe the lead running back in Jacksonville.
64:27This is why you go after. You almost want to get the backup running backs in the best situations where if they
64:34do get that opportunity, and think about Quorum with the Rams, certainly in that same vein.
64:39When they get that opportunity, if they get that opportunity, oh man, you're going to have a must-start running back.
64:45I want to talk about team. My 14-year-old son, who's a freshman in high school, is taking a sports management class, which
64:52is basically all they do is they just had their fantasy draft in their class, and that's all they're talking about right now.
64:59So he's getting trade offers left and right, and he just keeps texting me about trade offers.
65:05Are any of them good, or are they all like...
65:08Somebody offered him... Should I do this pile of poo for Jameer Gibbs?
65:12No, he's gotten pretty good offers so far. This one, I think he's going to actually take.
65:17It's one of those, like, they're kids. So he's like, they make the offer, and then they rescind it like three seconds later.
65:24Oh yeah, only kids do that. He got offered DeAndre Swift or Quinshawn Judkins.
65:29I told him to accept it. Yeah, that's an accept.
65:32Nice job, bro. Would it be bad if he was texting me or Dave or Heath instead of you?
65:38That'd be bad. It reminds me of the story.
65:41Why would it be bad? Because, you know, he should be asking you.
65:45Have I told the story on air about when my son wasn't sure to draft Puka Nakua?
65:50He's literally having lunch in the building with me.
65:53And he goes, I don't know. Do I take Puka Nakua?
65:56I think it was two years ago when he was all banged up.
66:00And I was like, yeah. And he goes, let me see where Jamie has him ranked.
66:05And then he saw that Jamie had him ranked just like I did.
66:09And he goes, well, let me see how Heath has him ranked.
66:13And I think Heath was a little different. Maybe it was a little bit lower on Nakua.
66:19He ultimately took Nakua. He listened to his dad.
66:21Love it. Or no, listen to Jamie. All right, last team.
66:25Listen to Jamie, yeah. This is why people have the opportunity to see all three of our rankings.
66:31Yeah. Yeah. All right. Last team is Team 7 picked after Jamie.
66:34I'm just glad he used one of our rankings.
66:37It would have put a knife through my heart if it took somebody else's.
66:41Can you put up the question from the Homer Simpson person?
66:45Isn't Stevenson going before Henderson right now? He should, yeah.
66:48I think it depends on your line of things.
66:51So I'll just give you what I was looking at.
66:54Where I took Brooks, I would have taken Henderson, even though I have Brooks ranked higher.
66:59And this is not a Stevenson thing, but it kind of factors in Stevenson because I have Stevenson ranked higher.
67:05The way I built this team, like I need a superstar.
67:09And Henderson has that ability. So like I like your analogy to all this, Adam, to me makes the most sense about how you compare Henderson and Coram.
67:18Like getting Coram a round or two later, there's very similar ranges of outcomes for both those guys.
67:23I feel like it's more like three rounds later, honestly.
67:26Well, whatever the ADP settles that. I think Coram is going to kind of hold steady.
67:31And I think all the Henderson stuff, especially since he's a little bit banged up, will drop him potentially around.
67:38I hope it's around. But I think if you, if you want the safer play, it's obviously Stevenson.
67:43If you want the guy who can start for you right now, it's Stevenson.
67:48If your build is, I have my two running backs.
67:51I love everything else about my team, receivers, whatever, however you started your roster, zero RB, hero RB, whatever, or just even
67:58just taking two running backs and then loading up a receivers quarterback and tight end.
68:02The, the upside play is, is Henderson. We're all aware of that.
68:06Nobody's going to argue against that because we saw what Henderson did when Stevenson's not there.
68:11It's just, you can't go into the season counting on Henderson to be a starter for you right away.
68:17So for me, knowing it's a 10 team league, Jonathan Brooks right now is my flex.
68:22I can find a flex. That's going to give me Jonathan Brooks like production, unless he's just an absolute stud, which he could be.
68:30But the way that I built this roster Henderson, if he hits, I was also looking at quorum.
68:35He went, I think one or two spots before me.
68:39Those are the type of players that are going to make this build.
68:43Perfect. I just, I guess I agree with you, but we saw what Travion Henderson can do without Ramondre Stevenson last year.
68:50And it was amazing. We didn't see what Ramondre can do without Travion Henderson.
68:54I don't think it could be quite as amazing.
68:57Cause he's not, you've also seen what about those last three games of last year, but you've seen, you've seen what Stevenson
69:04could do when Henderson wasn't even on the team.
69:06I get a different team. Drake, may I get all those things?
69:10Yes, it is. It is a much different team.
69:13And I don't think he can be as good as Travion Henderson, but he's probably a must start because he's probably scoring.
69:20He was better in those last three. Yeah, totally, totally.
69:23You're, you're a hundred percent right. But I think, yes, there's no way to dispute it, but that's the, Brooks has that
69:30same type of upside too, does he not? Like I get where you're coming from.
69:35Totally understand it. I think Brooks has upside. If Chuba is already dealing with an injury, if Brooks is the week one
69:42starter and he's getting a lot of work in Carolina, yeah, there's injury risk, but at least he looks like he knows what he's doing out there.
69:50We don't know if Travion does. He's got upside too.
69:53So I don't think that there's, I don't think you should feel all doom and gloom because you missed out on Travion because you got Jonathan Brooks.
70:02No, I, I, I, Warren to me, that's the better example.
70:05Like Jalen Warren. Yeah, he, he definitely is going to need Rico Dowdle to go away for him to really match his ceiling.
70:12And I don't even know if that ceiling is any higher than like 11 and a half, half PPR points per game.
70:19Whereas Blake Corum, if something happens to Kyron Williams, hello, he's going to be a must start fancy running back.
70:26Okay. Um, and, and I think Corum just based on the way they were used last year is a guy that unfortunately
70:32he just never caught passes basically, but he split goal line work with Kyron.
70:37They had the same amount of goal line carries from whatever it was week seven or whatever Corum started getting work.
70:43He could be a guy you can throw in there in a pinch if you need a flex.
70:49Um, all right, we're going to, and for anybody who remembers all the drama last off season, which wouldn't be a factor
70:56now, but small factor, dark West Hunter getting traded.
70:59I think that would make Corum easily the featured back.
71:02Oh yeah. And he hasn't, Ronnie rivers would be the next guy up.
71:06Yeah, no, they value Corum quite a bit. And I haven't heard any reports about him lately, but early in camp, he
71:13was having a terrific camp and all the, all the videos of him training were showing him.
71:18I mean, I'm not, I'm not so sure that he's, you know, not as good as Kyron Williams, which is not, which is, I think Kyron's very good.
71:27I think they both are very good, but just we'll see.
71:31I haven't seen enough of Blake Corum. Uh, he was drafted earlier than Kyron for what it's worth in the NFL draft.
71:37Okay. That's it for, uh, this show. Thank you so much for watching and listening, everybody.
71:42And for our nine participants in today's draft, awesome stuff.
71:46Really? This, uh, I'm going to write about the draft today.
71:49So it'll be on the site. And I want to, I want to read in the comments, which team people watching thought was the best.
71:57Maybe there'll be a consensus about which team won the draft.
72:00People watching great album from Sam Fender. Well, and with that, thank you, Dave, for plugging that.
72:06We'll talk to you at the mailbag with Dan Schneier later on.
72:09See ya. Podcasts. Podcasts. Podcasts.
